Plymouth Church. Des Moines, IA.

As others have asked: did they make their flight?

What the (bleep) is a weather influencer?

This is the price I'm paying to go see Charlie Behrens on Saturday night in Des Moines because I decided to trade with someone at work who does a different shift every day. At least I get a chance to take a nap when I get done. We're not getting out of the below-zero range until Saturday. FML.

@barnaby.bsky.social I should've asked, thusly: how did you find out about this particular line of work to get into? Not something I hear too many people jumping in with both feet...

This is a fuckin' two-fer headline, I tell you what (via WOI, Des Moines' ABC affiliate and their website, weareiowa.com)

50 (as of January 15th)

My mom in Opelousas told me she's been switched from UnitedHealthcare to Humana already.

he wouldn't make it around Gambon Corner

January 9, 2026. We now have a dealership in town just up the road from where this beauty was spotted.

So, yeah. This landed in my lap recently. I think I'll give it a read so I can understand more of what people who are transitioning (MtF or FtM) go through. Can't hurt, right?

Loaded question: Male or female? And which organization?

current situation in central Iowa

I'm 50 years and six days old. Today I heard a cat fart for the very first time in my life. He sound like I do when I've had too much Culver’s in one day.

Congressman Higgins might be the 2nd loopiest person in my home state behind Governor Jeff Landry, which is why I'm so glad I moved away from there like Jed Clampett.

He is from my neck of the woods in south Louisiana - the Lafayette area. He is well known, for all the damn worst reasons.

I'm a Jeremiah, and I feel seen

I'm going to sleep asking myself this question: 2019 LSU or 2025 Indiana - who's the better team?

Immortalized in Wikipedia, via Google Chrome on my computer. Nice job, Indiana.

You know: maybe this year might not suck after all. (h/t @wikipedia.org ) - their editors are FAST, yo.

Well, guess who's getting paid at the end of the week? @homefield.bsky.social Need to rock some Hoosier swag around Iowa.

... am I seeing what I'm thinking I'm about to see?

now that there are WCW Thunder episodes on YouTube I need to find the one they taped in Lafayette, LA where I was sitting close enough in the front row to be on actual cable TV

Cat spam

My ride is here

Was that Parseltongue? Is Mevis from Slytherin House?

That was the late (great) Jared Lorenzen, formerly of the U of Kentucky. Died a few years ago, way too soon, at the age of 38. Got a SB ring as Eli Manning's backup when they upset the Patriots (the first time) in the Super Bowl.

DAMN IT

WHAT THE FUCK BEARS

The world sucks, Drew. I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Count me in.

Hello darkness, my old friend.

@sickoscommittee.org Applebee's has been sending me these E-mails for a few days now. Would I? Yes.

ESPN: "Stefon Diggs makes incredible catch for a TD" Me:

I am bummed that Buffalo shit the bed yesterday - FIVE TURNOVERS?!?!?!? - in a game they could've won, yet they seem to come up short yet again (even with no KC / CIN / BAL in their way)

I just turned 50, and I'm bi. They got room for me?

oh no, Louisiana, baby, what is you doing??

It's cuddlin' time. Anyone wanna keep me warm for a few days? (I've got some nice hotels near my apartment. Hint, hint.)

@ticklepig.bsky.social buddy of mine near Detroit sent me a pic of this from the Loblaws store up there (they're a Canadian company)

NO. Hell fucking no.

I paid $24 for this cake - that's including tip - at Cold Stone Creamery in West Des Moines (Jordan Creek Town Center). I should've gone to DQ or Baskin-Robbins. We'll fix that next week when we get paid. I had asked someone if they'd make a cake for me, but they politely declined.

Real life John Dutton right here, minus the cowboy hat.

Free the Liberty Mutual Emu!

Golden State 1, Bayou State 0. Sorry, Louisiana.

I use it everywhere. Car. Echo Dot. Worth it to me. I know what others will say, but mind ya business.

I'm twice as old as them today.

Here's Oreo to give you hope in these trying times.

Yay? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
