1.) No no no, they were chanting “JAIL SATAN!” “JAIL Satan!” They’re Christian but they’re moderates, they want to see the Dark Lord fairly tried for his crimes and, you know, rehabilitated under human conditions. Jail Satan!

2.) Your teevee show about five young burgeoning serial killers, bonding, adventuring, growing together in the 1980s until they can be the best slashers they could ever be will be called STRANGLER THINGS.

3.) Moment to moment, discrete action to discrete action, we kind of have free will, we could always swerve the car and die for example, but over the course of a lifetime, those choices average out into noise and we’re largely on a ride determined by random chance not us.

4.) I like to think that the frat recruitment for colleges in Whitehorse is called “The Pukon Gold Rush”.

5.) A billionaire pays young men from oppressed backgrounds to give each other brain damage on national TV. The men are not from where you are, largely rural Southerners. The stadium’s 5 hours away in a city you’ve visited twice in your life. Yet this is your source of “local pride”.

6.) More like STALE OFF THE BOAT, AMIRITE?

7.) The greatest achievement in modern art was Henson getting the line “Jack not name! Jack job!” past the censors in THE MUPPET MOVIE.

8.) A company that makes a product you like is not your tribe. If we are still so poorly-wired that we need tribes to be part of that bad, please, consider something a little more applicable to your overall life than who owned the place your car was made.

9.) A warm late-April shower, ten o’clock at night, two weeks before Christmas in the southern Adirondacks but Exxon says its fine and it’s only like they’d make billions of dollars if they lied about it.

10.) Leaving a box of Archway Iced Gingerbread cookies in the kitchen of a person on a permanent low-carb diet is prosecutable as a war crime.

11.) People don’t remember the brief early 60s sitcom produced out of Salt Lake’s NBC called “My Three Wives”.

12.) The problem they never tell you about getting healthier is that you’ll start to get your libido back. It is unnerving.

13.) I fear that even with the right technology, we’d never reach post-scarcity. Rich folks would invent a new scarcity so they could have status. “Disruptors” would break down that scarcity to get rich themselves then their kids would create the next faked scarcity again.

14.) I want to grind up communion wafers and craft some kind of literal holy macaroni.
