#and circuses

[rudolphsb9]

also more than a little disappointed that for the 250th Fourth of July companies aren't dumping massive amounts of resources into limited edition flavors of their usual products.

like years ago we'd get summer flavored mountain dew, they stopped doing that (fuck knows why) but... this is a golden opportunity?

Is it the "we're all weary and dying slowly"? is it the inflation? is it the not giving a fuck? is it all of the above?

Here's the thing.

If you step on a rake someone accidentally left out. That's a dick thing to do. Someone really hurt you. If someone tells you hey step on this X, im gonna give you a prize, and they hit you in the face with a pie, thats also a dick thing to do, but if you're a politician it's still pretty based. That's all understood, you know? Someone shakes your hand and they shock you with some kind of hidden ring or gadget, thats fucked up.

However say, you walk into a circus. You see a clown. You are waved over. Entreated. Wouldn't you like to smell the lovely flower on his lapel? Trickery, no denying it! There is no fair scent to be had, only a snoot full of seltzer, to be sure.

But you are who went to the circus. You know? You surely know the character of Tomfoolery. The place of tricks. I lean into the lapel to see what happens. The lapel flower inflates into a balloon and pops, I laugh. I enjoy being tricked; that's why I went to the circus.

Went online for a recipe and now my first attempt at sourdough bread is rising.

What is it that compels people to comment on posted recipes with lists of pointless, tiny, subjective “corrections”? Like, damn, not everyone uses the same kind of eggwash. OKAY BRENT? JUST LET IT GO.

All of the above.

Feels like I'm not supposed to be here, bugger...))
