Monday Night Open Thread


Are you the “tech guy” for family and friends? I am. Well, to a large degree.

There’s a lady from the church who wants a smartphone. Because she wants a smartphone. She’s in her 80s. And wants a smartphone. So, I’m trying to help.

I wrote about it over at my little blog. If you have any thoughts or suggestions beyond what I wrote I was doing, please let me know. Comment over there if you don’t mind, although I will read the comments here, too.

Here, use the comments for whatever you want to talk about. Even if it’s about helping an old churchlady find a smartphone.

We’ve got Monday Night Open Thread going on here. You pick the topic, and run with it as far as folks will let you. Or, run with something someone else says. Or whatever. Like I said, it’s an open thread, and you do with it as you wish.

Who wants to start?

I Can’t Afford Puppy Chow Because of How Much They Pay the Spokesdog

Some people are crying “sexism” after a new report shows that male dogs win the Westminster dog show almost twice as often as females.

That makes no sense. Why would you pick male winners when you can pay the females 20% less?

(Rip Off) It’s astounding
When Time is seething

(#metooa) Ahh…

(Rip Off) Trump thinks he’s the Prez…

(#metooa) Not for very much longer…

(Rip Offf) We will keep control.
Remember, we’re letting the Times warp
Thinking and those columns will
turn opinion to suit me.

(Rip Off & #metooa) And the base hears us calling.

(Pests) Let’s see the Times Warp it again.

We’ll abuse the Public’s trust.
And drive the Donald insane.

(#metooa) It’s so dreamy
my fantasy sees me
The Speaker can be me
No one else at all.

In another edition
With partisan intention.
We’ll see Trump as he falls.

(Rip Off) With a bit of a seat flip…

(#metooa) Into Impeachment he’ll slip…

(Rip Off) And We’ll play the blame game.

(#metooa) to end the patriarchal sensation.

(Rip Off) we’ll commit us some sedition.

(Pests) And let the Times Warp it again.
Let’s let the Times Warp again.

(Chappaqua) Well, I fell down walking to my big win.
but here’s what you must think
you have to blame it on those evil guys
who read my emails and raised a stink.
Which got me shook up
And it took me by surprise
Thought I wouldn’t get stuck
by their right wing lies
And the voters looked at me
And I felt a change
The Fix meant nothing
The White House won’t be mine again.

(Pests) But let’s let the Times Warp it again.
Let’s let the Times Warp it again.

(The Paymaster) We’ll push the country to the left.

(Pests) not let it go back to the right.

(The Paymaster) With anonymous tips.

(Pests) Impeachment prospects will look bright.

Because we gotta do what we must…
And Congress we will regain…

Maybe I’m Vindictive, But I Think Those Heels Were a Bit Much

A team of scientists confirmed that, every day, millions of viruses fall out of the sky.

Good. Next time Pelosi talks for 8 hours, we’ll make her stand outside.
