Having trouble this weekend finding a bit of absurdity that eclipses the reality of the times. Instead, how about a bit of whimsy (and an absolutely epic Rube Goldberg!) youtu.be/qybUFnY7Y8w

For no particular reason today... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

A fast and /very/ relevant read.....

Machete don’t tweet.

“An errand is getting a tank of gas or picking up a carton of milk or something. It is not getting chased by flying purple pyromaniac gorillas hurling incendiary poo.” ~Harry Dresden (Jim Butcher), "Blood Rites"

I am reminded of a phrase from high-school or early college biology: Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. (embryonic development is a mirror of evolutionary development)

AAAAAARRRRGH! WHY IS THIS STUCK IN MY HEAD?!?!?! youtu.be/WeYsTmIzjkw

Sci-Fi friends! If you haven't already gotten into Martha Wells' "Murderbot" series (the books that the Apple+ series is based on), this is a great way to get into it, AND a portion of the sales go to World Central Kitchen! It looks like the offer is good for another week...

True not just for Pride.... (borrowed from another platform...)

Yeah. This is pretty much what 60 feels like....

Labor day:

For some reason, I'm looking for a double feature of "Death Of Stalin" and "Weekend At Bernies".....🤔

I’ll leave it to you to figure out what’s blasting on shuffle right now…. 😜 Happy Jimmy Buffett Day! 🍔🍹🦜

Happy Jimmy Buffett Day!

With a little love and luck, we will get by.... Happy Jimmy Buffett Day! 🏖🍹🦜 fb.watch/BNa6DxzlND/

HOPE!

Fuck it. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.... 🍹 youtu.be/BPCjC543llU

A most beautiful expression of the utterly absurd!

Today's installment of Absurdiday brought to you courtesy of a staple of late-night MTV (back when MTV was actually about , you know, MUSIC). And FU, Kraft Foods, they will ALWAYS be Green Jellö! Claymation thrash metal FTW! youtu.be/Gtffv9bpB-U

I’ve known folks who got shingles. Weeks of nasty sores and unrelenting pain. The vax had me feeling a little punky for a couple days. I’d say I got the better end of that deal……

If you like Panda Express, and want to support a good cause....

Found in the wild....

OK, yeah. So, stuff like this makes me wonder if I ever really made it past 12 years old.... youtube.com/shorts/2_TTP...

Damn. First Ozzy, now Chuck Mangione, Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul, and Mary), George Kooymans (Golden Earring). Turning out to be a very bad week for the music GenX grew up with… 😳😢🫥

Stolen from a HHGTTG group on another platform: I asked the universe for a sign. It gave me a Vogon poetry recital.

Times have changed And times are strange Here I come But I ain't the same..... Pouring one out and lighting one up for the late Prince Of Darkness tonight. Drop your favorite Ozzy / Sabbath track in the comments, and we can remember him together.... 🥃🥃

😢🤘

Was poking around for another installment of Absurdist Saturday, and wound up going down a completely unexpected rabbit hole. You know sh!t's gon get real when the heels come off! .... youtu.be/YJrPnIa9Jtc

Bastille Day, 2025. Hitting harder right now than it has in the past.... The King must kneel, and let his kingdom rise. "For they marched out to Bastille day La guillotine claimed her bloody prize Hear the echoes of the centuries Well, power isn't all that money buys..... " youtu.be/rRkU5bDI_4k

You can blame my nephew for inspiring me to dig out my Jimmy Buffett regalia….

Forty years ago today: Queen took the stage at Wembley Stadium for their performance for Live Aid. What followed was a 20-minute master class in owning a stadium performance. The ghost of Freddie Mercury can still be found in every stadium performance world-wide to this day... youtu.be/o6wE6rlTNmk
