Me4

Guy from southern Indiana Free

Born in '54 near the bucolic, pastoral town of Hitchcock (also known as "Oxonia") in southern Indiana, within earshot of the celebrated Monon railroad ("The Hoosier Line"). Admiring my perpetually drunk, brawling, leg-breakin' WWII Battle of the Bulge veteran uncle, I grew up as a hell raisin', fist fightin', hard drinkin', drag racin', jail-bound ne'er-do-well teenager. But I soon learned the err of my ways, before any major tragedy occurred, fortunately. Today, I am widowed, repentant, reclusive and retired, just barely living off of Social Security, near the idyllic, sylvan town of Furnessville in northwest Indiana, within earshot of the historic South Shore railway. My final goal now is to try to outlive and take care of the stray cat and her three kittens that my beloved late wife and I rescued back in '19. They are the last of the many dogs and cats that we rescued over the years. Quite a few jobs, many lessons learned, far too many regrets, but even more stories and memories.

    That’s why you have to be really, really careful when you say your wishes to a genie.

    I remember the hysteria surrounding the Y2K bug. My wife and I welcomed in the New Year 2000 by jokingly dancing to Barry McGuire’s “Eve of Destruction” we played on the stereo.

    The “Wizard of Oz” starts and ends in sepia; the Oz parts are in full color. Is this an example of the Mandela Effect, where many people “remember” the beginning and end to be in “black and white”?

    As long as you use the pod up quickly. Wet coffee grounds get moldy really fast.

    Not when you’re old and have other cars’ headlights glaring of your cataract replacement lenses.

    They sure are an environmental disaster… and not just because of the K-cups’ inability to be recycled. Keurig machines give you a choice of coffee sizes from 4 ounces up to 12 ounces. So if you brew a 4 ounce coffee, you are throwing away enough perfectly good coffee to brew an additional 8 ounces. Wasteful.

    When I soon realized the RBION comedy club was simply rehashing plagiarized material, I didn’t bother reading them. And concerning your “resume wanking” comment… What are you, 14 years old? Or maybe debate team captain of Trump University?

    You rarely hear the term “broad nightdark” for some reason.
