New Year's Even

Image
  There's wildfire burning in Boulder, Colorado. Yup and on Sunday December 26th of this year's soon to be over, in Kodiak, Alaska the ambient air temperature was 67 degrees and that is Fahrenheit and screw those Euro celsius temps. The wildfire burning in Boulder has burned through a whole lot of homes and the fire took out a hotel and a shopping center. There's been very little snow in Colorado so far this rapidly waning year. Hurry up 2022 cause 2021 has really sucked and sucked large. So as the year closes in a raging firestorm, let's hope the new year starts off quietly. Climate change is real and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Humanity is screwed. Happy New Year and now for some machine art. between lines - porcupine - be careful out there on this here New Year's Eve...damn dangerous to be out and about. 😬

It's Over More Or Less

Image
  We had us some fun...didn't we? 2021. It's over and done is done. Last day of 2021 is tomorrow and I could suppose we made it through. Seemed like things were touch and go for a while there but, humanity managed to kick the can down the road a ways. For now. Given all the fun we had in 2021, 2022 should be a real thriller. America is poised for another election year and damn if'n all the election bullshit seems to never end. It doesn't. Not really. An endless feedback loop of an extremely expensive charade. So it seems ain't not much can be done about that so we all might as well ignore the nonsense and carry on. Or carry over. Or Carrie Underwood. Whatever. Isn't the Underwood woman married to Garth Brooks? Wait, maybe it's the Yearwood woman that's married to Yukon's very own Garth Brooks. I don't know. I think that overall, I really don't care. I don't really care for 'country music'. I think the names posted prior to this ar...

Can You?

  Can you give me sanctuary? well...? machine art is next... one of these things is not like the other - running - brevity provides longevity? I don't really know that. not for certain. 😎

It Lives!!!

Image
  Somehow or some way...the keyboard is back and functional. Couldn't really say what the hell happened but...IT LIVES! Oh happy day oh joyous fingers tripping the light fantastic over the keys and it must be some kind of X-mas miracle. Yes, that must be it. Hallelujah nonetheless. We's back in the typing business and just as soon as I can figure out something to keyboard about, well, things might just get back to some semblance of normal? Yippee! And now for some machine art. poseur - wet - now if I can just figure out how to get rid of these annoying blue box thingies...😑

SO...DANG...ANNOYING!

Here It Is

Image
  X-mas Eve. Made it. To think it only took 357 days to get here. Here's wishing anyone interested a very happy if not merry Christmas and with a little bit of luck, a happy New Year. 2022. Dang and if'n time don't about fly when we's having us some fun. We're having us some fun now. Sure we are. So for one day forget about the Covid and all those nasty and killer variants. Just forget about all the bullshit humanity must endure on a daily basis. Think about your family and friends (that is IF you have any) and leave a plate of cookies for the Claus intruder. Machine art is next. gardens of earthly delights - an egg abstract - we'll check back in tomorrow and see if'n everyone got all they wanted from the Claus dude. 😂

It Came To Pass On The Day Before...

Image
  So it came to pass on the day before the day before the night before Xmas, the United States Army claims to have perfected a vaccine for all the Covid-19's and the numerous Covid variants that currently plague our shared humanity. Killing a boat load of folk too. So why, you may very well ask, would the United States Army perfect a vaccine to prevent the Covids from crippling if not killing a boat load of folk? Answer is really quite simple. The United States Army wants to insure that there are enough health young bodies kicking around on the old home ground to fight the next war. Oh yes, the next war is a coming and you'd better believe that. Believing in Santa Claus is one thing, believing in the next war is simply being better prepared for the inevitable. The United States Army insists this new vaccine is good against all COVIDS & SARS variants. Wow is that about some good news or what. The article is posted on the Defense One webpage and dated...

Brevity Is Key

Image
  Verse for Wednesday December 22, 2021. Mere days away from that really big BIG day everyone is waiting on. Or for...whatever - Ashes to ashes Dust to dust if gun violence don't get ya the omicron must the end now for some machine art and it's always best to strike while an iron is hot. just don't burn your fingers. or face. or whatever in hell you may be ironing. yosymmetry - whatever in hell this might be - brevity is a good thing when making political speech. however brevity might not be such a good thing when making jiggy with your lover. no doubt. 😫

Dining With Cannibals

Image
An excerpt from Scientific American Magazine - An article titled, 'Humans Are Doomed To Go Extinct' by Henry Gee and dated November 30, 2021 - - "I suspect that the human population is set not just for shrinkage but collapse - and soon. To paraphrase Tom Lehrer, if we are going to write about human extinction, we'd better start writing now." So, humanity will either go extinct or fade to black and vanish. However and before any of that happens, humans will indulge in your basic cannibalism simply for kicks and/or something to eat. Dateline... Clark Fork, Idaho (that's in the Idaho panhandle way up north) ... The Bonner County Sheriff's Office began investigating one James David Russell, age 39, on September 10, 2021 after finding the body of David Flaget, age 70, in a rural area near Clark Fork. Russell is charged with felony first degree murder AND felony cannibalism in an amended criminal complaint filed Wednesday September 13, 2021. The big breaking new...

SuperMan Grew Old And Died

Image
  Yes my friends it's true. Tommy Terrific got old and lost his qb super powers. Dang and ain't that about a pity. The reigning world champions of NFL football, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tommy Brady got they asses whooped by the New Orleans Football Saints on live television Sunday evening. That would have been December 19, 2021. First time Brady has been shut out since 2006. Super Tommy couldn't throw a touchdown to save his aging ass. Tampa Bay couldn't score and that is, as is said in football world, that. The hands of Father Time has put the touch on Brady and turns out Mr. Terrific is mortal after all. It was a glorious thing to watch. I don't really care for Tommy Terrific and I haven't paid too much attention to football this football season. Boring to be quite specific. The footballers are overpaid and mostly irrelevant in our sorely troubled world. Seems to me that if these steroid fueled human miscreants want to batter one another, well, they should...

More Deep Think

Image
You don't own the money. None of it. You can certainly rent money but ownership is merely an illusion. The government owns the money. All the money. The government will rent money to you but, if you don't pay the rent, well, all options are off the table if you will. The government rents money to people and the people pay the rent in the form of taxes. To be perfectly clear on the matter, people really do not own anything. Not out right. People rent 'things' and pay the rent/taxes or else. Try skipping your taxes/rent due for awhile and you won't like how the government comes to collect back rent. Even the uber-rich have to pay rent/taxes. Granted, the uber-rich do not pay much in the way of rent/taxes but they do pay. Modestly at best. So give up those silly notions regarding money and pay up. Given that is especially annoying that the uber-rich can get over and you can't. Get over. That's the way America was founded. The rich gets, the lesser folk get squa...

Deep Think

Image
I like to think about stuff. Really really deep stuff. So...if you divide infinity by two, well, you end up with half an infinity. However half an infinity is not the same as a split infinitive. So there you go, really really deep stuff. Today marks the beginning of the end of 'shop-o-rama' for Xmas. Not counting today, there are only six, yes count them, six shopping days until Xmas. So get up off those couches and get out there and shop! Besides the NFL postponed Saturday's football games until some future date. Dang Covid-19 you see. In an almost unrelated note, the CDC announced in a late afternoon press release that the next Covid variant will be named the 'LGBTQRSUVWX no Y and Z variant'. You see the CDC is running out of letters to name all the Covid variants running amok in/on/and/around Planet Earth so pretty dang soon the CDC will start using proper names for the Covid variants. The CDC also announced late Friday afternoon that the next name to be used on ...

Almost But Not Quite

Image
  Today is almost the last shopping Friday before Xmas. Almost but not quite. There is still Xmas Eve and that's a Friday and stores and all other retailers will be open until 8:00 p.m. local time. So not counting today, there are exactly 7, yes count them, 7 more shopping days until the really big holiday everyone's a waiting for. Xmas! Oh yippee and gadzxooks. Yes the 'gadzxooks' word is spelled correctly. I used spell check. I use spell check periodically. Sometimes. Anyway we seem to be drifting off topic. The topic for today would be...shopping. Don't be one of those lazy ass Americans, get out there and shop. Shop until your credit card hurts. Don't worry about notifications, your bank will take care of any notices that indicate you may have exceeded your credit limit. Not to worry though, the bank will allow your overcharges but you'll have to pay a penalty for that. Banks and credit card companies never miss any chance to charge you for some bullshit...

Nothing But Net

  It took the better part of an hour to remove the snow from the ole driveway. Damn snow was heap big deep. I got all my exercise for one week done in a little over an hour. Heap big deep! More snow is expected between now and Xmas so we've definitely something to look forward to. Oh...goody. We gots us a pile of snow but we didn't get any tornados so all things being considered and possibly equal, the snow ain't so bad after all. Machine art is next up on our chart topping biggest hits of 2021, so enjoy. And/or whatever. universally - tom toe - the really fun part of contributing to the world wide web would be that none of anything has to make sense. just about most of the crap posted on the old www makes no sense so we're keeping in good company. 👤

It's Not Humpday...

Image
  It's SNOW DAY!!! We gots us a pile 'o' snow and it's deep too. Oh well ain't not about a dang thing can be done about that. Well...except it's time to break out the snowblower. So for now and until we meet again...SNOW! SNOW! MORE SNOW!!! Machine art comes first. Of course. you make me dizzy Ms Ditzy - also rises - snowblowers are a boon for mankind. 😵

More Kindness Tuesday

Image
  In keeping with the holiday season, here's more kindness thinking. After all, this is THE season for kindness and giving and kindness and spending and kindness and football and on if not on ad infinitum. Kindness. So...understanding that there are NO stupid questions, there are any number of stupid people that ask questions. Okay and so having googled up the solution to the 12 Days of Christmas conundrum, it can now be told that December 25 of any year is the actual and for reals 'first day' of Christmas. Some theological mathematics thing. Jesus having actually being born in April and with some theological tinkering with the numbers, well turns out Jesus is magically born in December. It all boils down to some theological tinkering with the Lucky Charms. As we all know, Lucky Charms are for children and Trix aren't for the screwy dang rabbit. So and in conclusion, Christmas just like children's breakfast cereal is all in the theological bending of space/time hist...

Kindness Monday

Image
  Almost Christmas and here's some kind thoughts for the season of giving to retailers. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will avoid one hundred days of sorrow. Isn't that kind? Well it would seem so. Wouldn't it be nice if donald trump were to fuck off and die? Why yes it would. Kind thoughts for a getting closer to Christmas Monday. Machine art is next. walk - a wiz - hey...today starts the twelve days of Xmas. well go figure...😲

Twelve Twelve

Image
  Tornados can be a real killer. No doubt. However tornados in December seem strange to say the least. Tornado action in December could very well be the result of climate change. Yeah, could be. Tornados in December also indicate that the results of climate change are here to stay. Well, maybe not stay, it would be more like here to rip the bejeepers out of the South and Midwest. The tornados that kicked off the weekend were damn nasty and without mercy. It seems that these ugly weather systems are now part of the everyday fabric of life as we know it. Might be a good idea to get the people moved out of the South and Midwest. Maybe. Of course all of the disaster in Kentucky could be "god's judgment" for Mitch McConnell. Maybe. We may never know. Probably. Okay and with the Sunday prattle out of the way we'll move on to the really important Sunday crap and that would be of course, machine art. Totally. look and ye shall see - green green it's green they say - and D...

Bibithy

Image
  Donny the trump gave Binyamin Netanyahu the old middle finger. Actually, what trump said was "fuck him." Trump speaking about Netanyahu. Netanyahu was at the time of the trump insult, the Prime Minister of Israel. If you happened to have followed any of the bullshit following the January 6, 2021 insurrection and riot in the U.S. Capitol Building that just so happened to be the day Congress approved the presidential voting returns from the November 2020 election...take breath here...and trump went apeshit, well, trump took his vitriol out on Israel's Bibi. Which is more than a little curious as trump claims to have bent himself over backwards to play nice with Israel and Bibi in particular. The trump claims that Netanyahu was "disloyal." Judas, trump is about one whiney if not petulant child. Whiney trump might not want to piss off the Jews. You see, Jews hold most of our world's money and that being the case in the U.S. or so the story goes. This is NOT cr...

Whitey McWhitey Face

Image
  Wikileaks champion and leak publisher extradinoire, that would be Julian Assange, is being extradited to the U.S.. Assange had been holed up in an Ecuadorian Embassy in London, the U.K.. Well the Ecuadorian Embassy folk got pretty tired of Whitey the sponge being holed up in their embassy and the embassy folk turned him over to London Metro P.D.. Well doesn't that just suck. I mean really. Sucks for Assange. So the Metro P.D. had been holding on to McWhitey Face while the British legal system decided what to do with his holed up ass. Guess what the British legal system decided...you guessed it, our intrepid buddy Julian is being extradited back to the U.S. of A.. Bummer for McWhitey Face. The amazingly wondrous U.S. legal system has already tried Assange in abstentia, found him guilty, and are waiting on his extradition to the U.S. penal system. Doubly really a bummer, oh man, doubly so. I'm thinking that Assange isn't gonna like U.S. incarceration. Nope, not ...

Shake It Up

Image
  Off the coast of Oregon, there is an ongoing swarm of earthquakes. As near as I can discover by way of the old google research project, there's been no official USGS  explicación  as to what is up with that. Shaky shaky baby. Could be that there's an ongoing whopper of an undersea tectonic plate subduction. You can learn about the term 'subduction' using the ole google thingy and find a reasonably plausible explanation . However, there's not been any  explicaciónes about the current swarm. Of earthquakes. Could be that Mt. Hood which is a for real volcano and holds ground just to the north and wee bit east of Portland, Oregon is fixing to blow. I've been to Portland a number of times and I've only been able to see Mt. Hood once. It rains a lot in Portland. Well, it rains a lot all over the Pacific Northwest. It could be that the U.S. military is mining out an undersea "secret military installation" and the U.S. military ain't about to infor...

NeuroLinguini

Image
  Possibly with clam sauce. I heard the term 'neurodiversity' used during a local news broadcast on Pearl Harbor Day. That would be yesterday December 7, 2021...a day that will live in broadcast infamy. Neurodiversity?? I'd never heard the term used in ANY context prior to watching the news so I had to give the term the ole google once over. So come to find out, the term 'neurodiversity' is simply a splash of psychobabble to impress simple people that are too gawddang lazy to google up a word to find out what in hell might be the goings on. There isn't much going on with the term. Some "autistic" sociology lady back in the 1990's coined the phrase to impress her professors while authoring up a thesis for her sociology degree. Damn if that's not about so twentieth century. Did you know that "autistic" people are taking degrees in sociology? I think that's marvelous if not totally so twenty first century progressive. However and whe...

Farkas House Rules

  December 7, 2021. A day that will live in Hawaiian flooding history. They's gettin' swamped. A rainy dang day in paradise, go figure. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. @Farkas House Rule #1- There are no rules Rule #2- in all instances and times of confusing confusion, see rule #1. Now for our daily dose of machine art. phoenix rising - moon kid - have not heard nary a word about Pearl Harbor Day. must not be very important these days. a way back when Pearl Harbor Day was a pretty big deal. how times have changed. 😕

If It's Monday Then...
