Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

[NWICY]

They sell automatic jar openers now.

Did you go to a pampered chef party tonight?

Seeing ads for Jesus Christ Superstar, starring Sara Bareilles and John Legend. Alice Cooper as Herod:
So, if you are the Christ, yes the great Jesus Christ, prove to me that you're no fool...
Walk across my swimming pool"

I can't wait.

Canadian pickled herring, Dutch gouda, French wine, English crackers and Florida key lime pie for supper. International and eclectic . FTW.

You should probably be Secretary of State. Our current SOS got his training in international negotiations by heading the CIA. Kind if like appointing a Marine sergeant to be Miss Manners. (No offense intended to any Marine, my Dad was one.)

Actually, Alice's persona is probably dangerously close to the real Herod Antipas. Herod was a strange, kinky guy. Had sex with his own sister, for example.

No on TV. Put this thing on top of a jar and it grips down and twists the lid off. Pampered Chef probably sells them. I don't go to those things. Already have more cooking utensils that I understand.

Alice Cooper has been married for 42 years and claims he has never cheated on his wife and she isn't his sister. She was the ballerina that he used to beat up when singing Only Women Bleed.
The last time I saw him perform it was his daughter that he beat up during that song.

So had a doctor's appointment last week -- pretty routine, lingering cough, congestion, etc.

Nurse was prob. late 50's or early 60's -- I described that my two kids had the flu last month so I had probably got that. She then asked how old my kids were -- then she asked "so are you and your wife planning on having any more kids?"

Whut?

I've known you for 3 minutes and you're asking me that?

That's at best a very nosy question, and, at worst, can be very hurtful. You know nothing about me -- maybe I'm getting a divorce, maybe my wife just died, maybe we have fertility issues, maybe one of my kids has a major medical issue. Seriously, some people. What are they thinking?

For anyone whose kid wants to drag them to see A Wrinkle in Time, let me save you some money. Just go pop some popcorn, maybe do some cheap acid and stare through a kaleidoscope.

It had a lot of biggish names, but it had painful dialogue, a patch-work plot and bad acting. It was like a Disney Channel movie with a bigger budget.

It's been about 50 years since I read that book, but from what I remember I don't think it would translate very well to the screen.

Yep, and, like me, Alice is also a preacher's kid. I meant his on-stage persona, of course. Off stage he's just a regular guy.

So I applied to a job in Wichita more out of curiosity of where I am in the workforce in terms of being marketable kind of thing. Then they called me for an interview today and we are trying to figure out how serious we actually are. Leaning towards not all that serious with MrsWx health issues still being somewhat up in the air.

It'd be tough to leave the support system you have in CR but it never hurts to look for opportunities.

Well, those were my plans for Saturday Night and now they seem kind of lame.

His political leanings still seem odd to me.

Nope, your children only get the best, highest quality acid

I suppose there is the possibility of low cost high quality acid for them.

She was hitting on you.

How you been, McTall (@mctallerton )? Still keeping the universe safe from the dangers of things that are classified?

Maybe if you didn't drop so much acid on Saturday nights, they wouldn't seem so odd.
