The hairy guy is my short-duration personal savior. This is how I feel pretty much all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei1DvIgW_PU
For decades society struggled with the problem of not knowing whether it was a real anvil or a toon anvil until it was dropped on someone's foot. The real anvil would break a toe. The toon anvil would make the toe flat and transparent and emitting pain stars. Finally someone pointed out it's the 21st century, *nobody* has a real anvil except living-history museums. So now we all know those things in the attic are toons.
It... it was real. I knew it was. O_o;;
And NOBODY has it, apparently. ;_;
And no, the Metric Marvels were a different thing. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02wgP_FlXC4
Relevant to an ongoing conversation:
Fellow old folks. Does anybody out there remember an instructional television show about the Metric System that aired on PBS affiliates in the early 80s? Really cheesy sketch/variety show, basically Electric Company format. They had a jazzy little theme song that went something like "To many reasons to list them... something something metric system?"
Anybody? Anybody? Maybe I was the only kid in America who was home sick the day they aired it. :>

Full episode of Not Necessarily The News, a news parody from 1982. I was raised on this and Bloom County, so as much as I play up my fundamentalist phase, I was pretty much destined to grow up leftist. I've suspected Reagan worshipped the Demiurge since I was six. :>
This collection of promos from 1980s Nickelodeon is the strongest I can distill my childhood, without the risk of poisoning you with glitter hairspray and white noise.
work question
On a related note: is there anything you particularly hate when you get criticism from your employers? I figure I probably still have some annoying habits, and our outsourced workers have put in a sincere enough effort that I wanna go out of my way to be as nice to them as is practical. O:)
cw: shameless preening and roaring; day job
I AM SO GOOD AT MY JOB AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. =^______^=
I am writing up a bunch of scrupulously constructive criticism for my coworkers, I am very proud of how much I seem to be killing this, and I am the happiest Lisa Simpson right now.
OTOH, I would never have been able to get in this good of a mood if you all hadn't come to my aid last night, so... *purrs; nuzzles; licks; tries to sit on your shoulders; pointedly does not eat you* 🐯❤️❤️❤️🐯
board games; very old very silly very trivial personal grievance :)
mood (-)
having a catastrophic morale failure
if you could please show me a sign of something in my life (besides my relationship with Anthracite), this community, or this country, that I give a shit about and is actually not decaying, this would be a great time to bring it to my attention
also i think i am getting really sick of hearing people shit-talk this community -- please keep in mind i had a role in its creation and while tempted to just let it go after the year i had... still hurts
mood (300-400 millikafkas; wear protection)
(I was never cut out for a townful of Face-To-Face Friends in the first place, because I'm so much better here in the studio than I am live...)
mood (300-400 millikafkas; wear protection)
Still ruminating over everything that's happened in the last few months. Between that and reading the news, I'm just feeling old, obsolete, and toxic today.
I could use petting, but what I could really use is some sense I'm worth a damn to anyone but Peggy even when I'm *not* explicitly asking for petting.
Everything today is reinforcing my sense I'm someone people tolerate more than like, more of a friend emeritus with lingering historic honors.
