Is this thing on?
Hello everyone. I have been offered and have graciously accepted the honor of contributing to this site on a more fundamental level. Whether that is going to be a positive or a negative thing I don’t know, but nonetheless Oppo, Basil and his other brother not Basil feel I can make a positive impact here and I hope not to let them down… too much. A small glitch related to this tremendous change was foreshadowed by my losing my “kkkch” for a short period of time. Ahem. It has since been restored and I am in tip-top condition and ready to bring some joy and mirth into your humdrum and dreary little lives.
Now you maybe asking yourself, “How did he get this wonderful job?”
And you maybe asking yourself, “Heck, can this guy even write?”
And you might find yourself commenting on something I wrote.
And you might find yourself falling into a song parody.
And you may want to ask them, “what have you done”?
Fear not, for I will promise you that I’m…
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Well Rick Astley will promise you that, I think I will go with “Let’s get this party started.”
So without further ado, since we are already up to our eyeballs in doo-doo, I hereby declare this post open and inaugurate my position as the newest unpaid intern. Now laugh peasants, Big Kitty is watching.
You know what I’ve been thinking?
New decade, new contributor.
I’ve got work to do.
??
“Work.”
Be that as it may, I’ve decided we need someone with a little “je ne sais quoi” — a little . . .
— You have an extra set of keys?
For whom?
Walruskkkch.
Ah, he’s asleep. I’ll get the keys made. Who could possibly object?

Musk Sees People-Moving Las Vegas Tunnel Opening in 2020
techxplore.com / Dec. 29/2019
A nearly mile-long tunnel in Las Vegas meant to showcase a “traffic busting” alternative for overcrowded cities should be completed next year, innovative entrepreneur Elon Musk said on Twitter.
The people-moving tunnel is being built by The Boring Company
OK, we’ll all overlook the obvious jokes.
The 48-year-old billionaire tweeted late Friday that “Boring Co is completing its first commercial tunnel in Vegas, going from Convention Center to Strip.”
Wait . . . didn’t Stormy Daniels beat him to it?
In a second tweet he said it would be “hopefully fully operational in 2020.”
I can’t tell if this guy is a modern-day P.T. Barnum or what.
the 0.8-mile (1.3 kilometer) tunnel would facilitate travel within the center and to the city’s famous Strip, where many of its major hotels and casinos are located.
Monorail!
Las Vegas officials selected The Boring Company in March to design, build and manage twin tunnels capable of transporting passengers in small, autonomous vehicles, each holding eight to 16 passengers.
That ought to conjour up your favorite elevator experience . . .
… his new people-moving tunnel system in Las Vegas will use Tesla chassis
. . . in a car with 16 people.
He envisions thousands of autonomous electric vehicles eventually moving millions of people underground at speeds up to 155 miles per hour (250 kph) — far higher than the moderate 35 mph speeds planned for the short Las Vegas link.
Just curious what the multitude of subway designers already in existence have to say about this.
According to Gallup, Donald Trump is tied in the top spot for most admired man. He’s tied with Barack Obama.
Obama being at the top of the list isn’t surprising, what with his multiple PR outlets — CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, AP, etc — but Trump being up there too is, to me, a little surprising.
My only thoughts on it are that this should really tick off a lot of those on the left. Obama being tied for the top doesn’t surprise me, since I’m used to stupid stuff. But Trump? I’m quite amused by it all.
Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not disagreeing with those that list him there. The president has surprised me with what he’d been able to accomplish, and a lot of the good things he’s done that aren’t getting a lot of notice will have a lasting impact. Judges appointed, for instance. Those are lifetime appointments for the most part, and having judges that respect the Constitution goes a long way toward protecting this great country of ours.
But, is he the man I admire the most? I haven’t thought about it. I am impressed with what he’s accomplished, of course. But there is this one person that I think a lot of. Saw him this morning, in fact. I had to wipe the steam off the bathroom mirror though.
What can I say? It’s hard to be humble when you’re as awesome as I am. How can the world stand such awesomeness? Well, sometimes the world can’t. Just ask my ex-wife.
