An obeisance made, sort of....

Dear ones, since last we met I have endured a 3-week quasi-flu; 3 bed-days, and the rest of the time getting over it. EXTREME lassitude. After a few days of couch-riddenness, I could get up, accomplish one task (say, loading the dishwasher), and then, back to the couch. 3 weeks on the dot, I was Suddenly Better.

You know the fun bit? The Dread Dormomoo had it too!

But we're feeling MUCH better, now!

Nonetheless, many apologies for apparently forgetting my dear friends and fiends!

--------------------

"The Car" on Svengoolie.
This makes "Maximum Overdrive" look like "Citizen Kane".

--------------------

So I guess the only thing is to change our business name to Varky McVarkface.
Can I get a witness?

---------------------

I feel an acute need for the interrobang.

Dear custom screenprinters.
Massively lowballing your prices may get you jobs.
It won't get you paid adequately for your efforts.

Getting over that flu-thing put us well behind in dealing with the hive. We went out after dusk, and proceeded to medicate the li'l darlin's. We bless them prior to working with them, and maintain calm, and much smoke!! We need to split the hive, and acquire a new queen. They were vigilant, and of course a couple buzzed us to assert their territory, but no stings were had.
If we were to acquire no honey, their work and presence would be sufficient.

Whilst doing sublimation t-shirt prints last night, I enjoyed Walt Disney's paean to Operation Paperclip, "Man in Space". Many of "our" German scientists and experts appearing on camera to talk about space sciences. VERY good documentary entertainment, but I was unaware that there was no World War Two. The sanitised history almost makes V-2 rocket production seem like the result of a nationalised German rocket club.

-------------------------

I just saw an advert for a movie. "Keanu, Gangsta Kitten".
Do I need to start praying for the asteroid now?

My new design:

Dear mercy. I am so incredibly annoyed. Having to self-censor shirt designs for what isn't there because of people who insist on seeing things that aren't there.Potentially.
NEVER apologise to the SJWs. Never back down. It only gives them ammo to use against you, whether you did anything or not. ESPECIALLY if not.

----------------------

In other news, it has troubled me that I have never liked "The Incredible Hulk" TV series. I finally sussed out why.
It's not the Hulk.
The Hulk is MASSIVE. Lou Ferrigno is muscular and green. The Hulk can tear tanks apart. The TV Hulk can flip over a light bulldozer. He;s what the anime crowd would call "TV-size".
The Hulk fights against gamma-powered super-geniuses, and against alien hordes. TV Hulk overcomes mob bosses and anti-farm union baddies.
TV Hulk is Jim Rockford.

Dear science fiction writers writing "language from antiquity" scenes. Please get your tenses and all right when writing "King James-ey" dialogue. It would be "Thou hast the power.", not "Thee has the power." It...annoys.
Mr. Sturgeon, I'm looking at you.

Being the most reasonable man on Facebook really takes its toll.
