The 5000 Musings of Doctor A





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


And THAT'S amusing. The microwave comes on when you open the door, now.

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

Did ANYBODY like Keiko O' Brien?


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

So, Patrick, it's OK to say that the US is a democracy, because through people's misuse of language, we can write it off to the evolution of language, despite the fact that the designers of our constitutional republic meant very exact and specific things in their use of their language? Is that what you're telling us here, Patrick?



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

I grew up in South Carolina.
"Why don't you go back?"
they asked.
"Chicken bog." I said.


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

Why exactly cannot selfie
                               people flip their photos
                                    taken in a mirror?



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


Wow.
"King Kong vs. Godzilla" sure has some terrible bluescreen work.
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" levels of bad.
Yet, it is a really fun movie!

SF readers: Remember Lupoff's The Adventures of Professor Thintwhistle and His Incredible Aether Flyer? Proto-steampunk!

TRIGGER WARNING
A spiritual screed for Christian-types:
There are a LOT of preachers, and a lot of voices out there, vying for your attention, and perhaps your eternal destiny. Despite the smiles, the positivity, and the promises, you will do well to examine, compare and contrast what they teach, over against what the Founder and His apostles taught. Do these teachers use buzzwords and terms foreign to Jesus, Paul, Peter, and the rest? Do they introduce "spiritual" concepts not found in Scripture? Do they challenge you to be more Christlike, loving, caring, or do they say you are fine just as you are? Is their focus on your growth, or the growth of your (and their?) bank accounts?
Jesus told His apostles-in-training regarding preaching the Good News "Freely you have received, freely give.". They were free to receive food and care from those who appreciated their service, but they were not to ask for it.
How much time does your TV Preacher of Choice spend talking about money, especially, extracting money from the Faithful? Compare that to Jesus and His apostles. A word to the wise.

After 40 years,
I finally watched
"Capricorn One".

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

I foresee a revolution
fought with
fondue forks.

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

ONOES!
The Chakra Orgone Pyramids
are almost sold out!!!

(My reaction to an internet advert.)

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

The last Children's
Crusade did not go well.
Just sayin'.

(My reaction to David Hogg and Company.)

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

Got home the other morning around 4AM,
opened a can of chilled consomme,
ate it with lemon juice and Worcestershire. Yum!

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

Isn't "The Shape of Water"
just a
"Jabberjaw" reboot?

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

Amuses me that no one
talks about
The Weapon Shops of Isher  by A.E. van Vogt
anymore.

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

No automatic alt text available.

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

Justin Trudeau looks like
he should host a remake
of "Blues Clues".

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

She has a tongue
would clip a hedge.

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

You have a heart
as cold
as a wet Christmas.

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

Anyone else recall how clueless you really were
at age sixteen?

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

Feelin' the need to march
and beg that my rights be taken away.
Seems to be in vogue.

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

I can find no example
of Paul refusing to make a tent
because the customer worshipped Zeus.

Things I've learned from X-Files season 11.
Avoid the Internet of Things.
