In other news, “Violent Taco Rampage” is the name of my new Smiths cover band.

Wednesday, May 17th, 2023From YouTube: a factory tour of the Smith and Wesson plant in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I have been on that tour…
Bingo!
Friday, April 28th, 2023I have a bingo on my buzzword bingo card.
As a smart man says:
for some reason the economics of building a skyscraper in the middle of a city and then piping in water and light are less favorable than using flat lands in Iowa which gets rain and sun

Yet another thing I did not know.
Thursday, March 23rd, 2023So as long as you believe, the marriage is valid. But when you stop believing, the marriage is invalid. And Pablo Escobear’s authority to officiate weddings is a giant consensual hallucination…and doesn’t the fact that Wikipedia states the bear does not have that authority invalidate the claim that the parties believe the bear has that authority?

“You shut down our schools, you shut down the churches, you shut down the businesses,” Kelly railed, according to a video posted by Forbes.
“You did the one thing that I thought could never happen,” he said. “As someone who was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I never thought in my life that I would ever see the city of Chicago brought down so low as you have managed to bring it down.
“Shame on you,” Kelly said. “That is a legacy that you are going to have to carry.”
Mount Washington ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids…
Saturday, February 4th, 2023…in fact, it’s cold as hell.
New Hampshire’s Mount Washington felt more like Mars than planet Earth on Friday as wind chills dipped below an unfathomable minus 110 degrees, a new record for the coldest wind chill ever recorded in the US.
Known for having some of the world’s worst weather, Mount Washington saw air temperatures plummet to minus 46 degrees with wind speeds averaging over 100 miles per hour with gusts over 125 miles per hour as the artic air mass wreaked havoc Friday, according to the Mount Washington observatory.

This goes out to FotB RoadRich:
Nimbus the cat, who lives in the observatory with staffers, was reportedly cozied up and unbothered by the deadly storm, despite being a bit grumpy from taking his flea medication.
“He is actually sleeping through most of this event,” Tarasiewciz said.

Quick pro tip.
Monday, December 5th, 2022If you are making commercials for your business (say, for example, a law firm I won’t name here) and the person doing your commercials suggests using small children in them…
…please run, don’t walk, in the other direction and find a new company to work with.
Norts spews.
Monday, November 7th, 2022I feel like I am obligated to say something about the Houston Astros winning the World Series.
With that out of the way, I wanted to mention my Theory of Compensatory Suckage.
The Astros won the World Series. The Houston Texans are 1-6-1 so far this season, which gives them the worst record in the NFL at the moment. The Houston Rockets are currently 1-9, which is the worst record in basketball at the moment. Seems like everything balances out.
In other news: Frank Reich out as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
40-34-1 over roughly four and a half seasons.
The triggering event seems to have been the Colts losing 26-3 to New England on Sunday, and putting up 121 yards of offense in the process.
