ok, so let's leave it at that then, and move on.

re: the couch stuff, yes, i didnt quote you on purpose so you can edit as needed. tmi for the bots and lurking weirdos. i've wiped most of mine to facilitate.

and i own a replica stapler for the lols, but only because i needed a stapler. that movie is old and i don't remember a ton of it anymore. some jokes may have aged poorly.

in any case, re:election, i forgot what i was gonna say.

but still counting the days. if the world is still here come wednesday i'm celebrating.

Stephen Root is a genius. With Dave Foley and Phil Hartman on Newsradio they were the fuckin' bomb. :D

Thrilled to never have to play "The President Can't Read" or "Vote That Fucker Out" again (oh okay, maybe just one time for fun), I felt there needed to be a goodbye song...

This is a rough demo but I wanted to put it out there as we get ready to move on to a hopefully brighter future beginning this Wed Jan 20. We made it! (except for those who didn't)

I won’t miss you
I’m so glad to see you go
I might even pop a bottle of champagne

Hope they arrest you
Lock you up
But we all know
That the shit you threw
Will leave a stain

Four years of you
Felt like a decade in reverse
Four years of you
Low level devil’s wicked curse
Four years of you
You made the virus even worse
Pack up your fans and
Take the evil that men do
We need a medal for living through
Four years of you

I won’t hate you
I don’t want you in my mind
Going forward I’ll pretend you don’t exist

And when they rate you
As the worst one of all time
What does it mean
If they just slap you on the wrist

Four years of you
Was watching God taking the piss
Four years of you
And thinking do we deserve this
Four years of you
We’ll throw a party in our heads
With all the family and friends
Who didn’t live to see the end
Of four years of you

We need a medal for living through
Four years of you

I wasn't sure if I should put this here, because it is 2020 Election related, or the Biden Megathread, because the news appears during that time, or the Trumpy Megathread, because, well, Trump, or The Politics Thread, or....oh fuck it.

Nobody should be surprised by this, but still, the depths that this horrible man and his enablers went to is still a thing of bafflement/wonderment:
