They say it's his birthday...
(expanded)
...and he seems to be having a good time, but Highlander would have a better one if you'd swing by to wish him one. I dug up something he did years ago -- it was my third choice, for reasons I won't go into here - but seemed appropriately happy enough now that things have turned out far better on this front than he'd dared to hope.

Anyway, Happy 44th!

...but I dance for no one!

And now, as noted in the comments thread, here was my first choice...

Oh suuuuuuure. You couldn't post the cool Post Apocalyptic Omega Darren cartoon. You had to dig up THAT lame one.

Well, any attention is good attention, they say.

Whaddya MEAN you won't dance? I got two loaded six guns that say otherwise. Er... I had two loaded six guns... I put them right down on that bar... say, Al, did you see two loaded six guns...?

Heh...if you leave firearms lying around here, you will never find them again...(see no smiley face here).

Though I will agree, Mike, that you should dance. I've got singles that could be yours.

I've seen that 'toon before, myself. And you're very sweet to have chosen it for the reasons you did. I love how it's all about me. Even on HIS birthday.

Thanks, Mikey!

As I noted, the one I used was my third choice. My first choice was the Omega Darren, and it was even up a few minutes before I thought I'd avoid anything with a name in it. So, I went back, changed the image and revised the accompanying text.

I originally noted that I found the Omega Darren bit more amusing since in the intervening years you'd begun to watch football. I then noted that these mutant-infested, apocalyptic wastelands happen by degrees.

Maybe I'll add that one to the post now...

Always glad to oblige, ma'am!

Feh. No TRUE Heinlein Woman would ever hide her man's six guns; here in the Crazy Years, you have to sleep with one eye open and one finger on the trigger at ALL times. You can't defeat a free man, all you can do is kill him! DEATH AND DESTRUCTION!!!

Wow, I feel all tingly.

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch
