January 4, 2020 – Atlanta, Georgia
After a third libertarian died yesterday from apparent shadenfreude poisoning, the Centers for Disease Control have released a statement warning libertarians, classical liberals, Constitutionally minded independents, and pacifists to moderate their consumption of statist tears to 2 pints per day.
James Wallace, a Grand Rapids resident, marijuana connoisseur, and alleged Ron Paul fan club founder, has died at age 42 after what witnesses describe as an “overload of epic trolling” after he invited several prominent Grand Rapids Progressives and Conservatives to his house for a party. Allegedly, Wallace, a co-owner of the local glassworks, spent nearly an hour separately goading the Progressives and Conservatives into respective fervors about General Soleimani, only to bring the conversation to climax by revealing that he had been talking about former President Obama’s extra-judicial execution of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki the whole time.
Reports indicate that the resulting waterfall of Prog and Con tears was so intense that Wallace’s cat, Mittens, was washed into the storm sewer. Wallace was quoted as saying “why are you so butthurt, assholes?” before chugging nearly a full gallon of outrage effluence.
Wallace’s untimely passing comes on the heels of the death of Martin Lingenshott, 34, a Provo libertarian who overdosed on impeachment tears, and the tragic public expiration of Landon Okunye, a 20 year old student at University of Oregon who wrote a paper on the parallels between Trump and Hitler for his Political Science class.
Landon’s situation was particularly tragic because his life could have been spared had he left off the final sentence of his essay, which explained that all of the Trump facts, quotes, and datapoints connecting to Hitler were actually Elizabeth Warren facts, quotes, and datapoints. The political science building on the University of Oregon campus is slated to reopen next Tuesday, once the flood remediation team finishes their cleanup.
Experts fear that the unfortunate demises of Landon, Martin, and James may not be the end of this public health crisis. With the 2020 election looming, many expect shadenfreude to be in ample supply, and since libertarians hate common sense regulations, many will overdose and die.
Jenine Slater-Bouffant, epidemiologist at the CDC, fears that a full blown pandemic may sweep through the libertarian population, a species that is already critically endangered. “With climate change wreaking havoc like it has, libertarians have been left in a particularly vulnerable position,” Slater-Bouffant explained, “it wouldn’t take much to drive them to extinction. There are already no female libertarians, and the males have resorted to the biological impossibility of importing Mexicans to reproduce with… rectally.” However, Slater-Bouffant does hold out some hope for the libertarians. So many of them are hermits and social outcasts that it’s unlikely they know enough Progressives or Conservatives to acquire a toxic amount of shadenfreude.
Still, the CDC is taking this seriously. They have lent their expertise to the FDA to craft a regulation banning reusable e-cigarette cartridges. If all goes as planned, the regulation will be enforced starting in July. Slater-Bouffant confidently predicts that this regulation will reduce libertarian shadenfreude deaths by 50% by 2028.
This is hilarious. I’m not done yet, but you sir have a gift
For the record, I am in favor of importing Mexicans, but I take a hard pass on the rectal procreation
No, we should be a net exporter of Mexicans, that way we can undercut Mexico’s rates and turn a profit.
I don’t get it.
None of us get any. We’re libertarians.
Yet Menthols are still legal, Keeping the Black down since….. forever?
(((They))) invented menthol, you know.
Larf. This line got me.
“There are already no female libertarians, and the males have resorted to the biological impossibility of importing Mexicans to reproduce with… rectally.”
*chef’s kiss*
Delicious
Then there’s the 4 hour erections that go with it.
Who needs that? 15 seconds and I’m sleeping…..
So many of them are hermits and social outcasts…
You People® maybe, but some of us are just assholes.
Are the end results any different?

I was limiting to Glibbroads (TM GT)
Not sure Nikki, or Episiarch were libertarians. I think they were just so misanthropic they hung out with libertarians to feel a sense of kinship.
Wait, what? Episiarch’s got 2 X chromosomes?!
Yeah I thought Epi was a dude.
No, but saying anything to or about Nikki summoned him.

Nobody ever says “there are no black libertarians.”
It’s just assumed
I heard such an argument many times, to be honest. I’ve also been told that Hispanics are genetically/culturally predisposed to collectivism as well.
I recommend rolling around in the cesspool that is HnR to get reacquainted with the only White folks can liberty crowd.
After the proper vaccinations, of course.
Walter Williams and Frederick Douglass are at minimum demigods, if not outright gods in the Libertarian Pantheon. Sowell is probably the single best liberty leaning conservative voice out there. Y’all got libertycred
I agree.
Though, in his golden years, Sowell has gotten a bit “old man yells at cloud”-y.
I’d also add my girl Zora to that list as well.
I did not mention Frederick Douglass because he’s long dead and nobody younger than 30 knows who he is anyway.
Douglass spent some time in my hometown – even has a HS named after him. We got an earful, to the BOE’s credit.
I had a client who wrote children’s nonfiction way back when and she was republishing them. She did one on Frederick Douglass.
https://www.amazon.com/Frederick-Douglass-Mona-Kerby-ebook/dp/B07HKMBKGS
Ugh, no thanks on the HnR revisit, with or without vaccines.
*serious on*
I’m quite sure people say it, but it’s not a meme like “there are no libertarian women.”
Thing is, all I have to do is look to Sowell, Williams, Carson, Big Boi (yes, I said Big Boi) (“Bitch, I voted for Gary Johnson”), Hotep Twitter, and black conservative Twitter to see that there is no monolith. (Hoteps tend to be capitalist pig family men without an ideological home [maybe except ancient Egypt] and they do not want one.) On Twitter I see the movements of black men arming themselves to protect themselves and their families, and those who do generally realize that gun control is about THEM, and they resent it. I see a lot of agitation amongst blacks against the Dems and collectivist thinking. I am NOT saying they are libertarians. I’m saying they are not collectivists and don’t march in lock-step and there are a lot of them. Maybe it’s just how I load my Twitter feed.
It would not have occurred to me that there are no black libertarians. I just assume they aren’t HERE.
*serious off*
Of course. What I’m getting at is individualism is always going to attract individuals, and that’s organically going to attract a varied demographic. Much more than the forced diversity of the Democratic party, which still manages to mostly vote for old white people.
I would encourage our sisters and brothers from other mothers to be more vocal in public fora. The musical selections for the links would improve.
Yeah but none of our wives are white, so…I’m not really sure where I was going with that.
None of them?
Cleavon Little got them all. It’s fine, I was tired of drunk white girl dancing.

Different link on the Post: Salma Hayek’s breastesses make her look older than she is.
All day
Uh, no.
She’s age-appropriate.
Hard wood.
Yeah, those boobs aged well
Considering what they looked like 30 years ago in Desperado, she must have had some work done.
That is exactly what I thought, although childbirth would explain it, too.
Why don’t you come to your senses?
I have no insider knowledge, however, I suspect those are real. She’s put on a fair amount of weight and, like a lot of women, some of that excess goes on los sweaterpuppieos. I suspect that if she put herself on a struct diet/workout regimen those golden globes would look a lot more like they did 30 years ago.
As Mojo notes, she also had a child – much later than most – and I’ve seen that work miracles for some women.
Yeah, they don’t look fake. They look child-induced.
I was thinking of her a la Desperado.

Okay, “On Unknown Shores” is stuck on a conversation. For whatever reason, I can’t figure out how best to pivot to talking about Dug’s bet on the outcome of the venatio Drea is competing in. Typically, discussing a problem will help job my mind to figure it out. So here’s what I have on the page right no (no spoilers)
It does sound like a perfect spot for one of the other two to bring up a new topic, but it wouldn’t go directly to the bet.
When does the three way start?
Never.

So today is either the first days of World War III or a typical bad day in the Middle East
Yeah I’ll say I was way off base on my optimism that nothing would turn out. I’m still hoping but not optimistic.
Trump just has to rhetorically say “yes yes, we’re all very scared. You’re a big strong county. Ready to give up nukes now?” and he wins diplomacy.
Grr. Meant to write “rhetorically pat Iran on the head and say…”
Presidential address canceled = this is a nothing-burger. Doesnt even rate a tweet.
WWIII is gonna be shorter than I’d have thought if it is us v Iran. The occupation will probably last 20 years, but the war will be over by tax day.
I’d be surprised if Russia and China did not indirectly or even directly involve themselves in such a conflict. The US can probably still defeat them militarily or at least draw a stalemate, but there’s no way you’re occupying Iran
I think you are stuck in the 80s. We already have troops much closer to Russia than any part of Iran now. I suppose if we started building ships in the Caspian they might be threatened. And China? How? Why? We have forces in Pakistan, which has actually been a Chinese client state.
No need, and Russia wouldtacitly back our play, by staying out of it, and PUTIN PUPPET stuff, meaning Diplomacy,
which I will play, soon.
^ Russia and China have a lot to risk by getting involved.
China hasn’t had a ground conflict outside of Indian and Vietnamese ground skirmishes in years. Looking forward to seeing the press they get stepping up to defend their interests in the middle east and Africa (and afghanistan).
They can’t keep paying folks off indefinitely while imprisoning millions of muslims, etc.
Game 3 is waiting for 4 more players.
but there’s no way you’re occupying Iran
Word. There is no reason to have any kind of boot-on-the-ground tactic with them. If anything happens, we eliminated their military using naval and air power and let everything else sort itself out.

The caramelized garlic tart I made Sunday is delicious (still eating the leftovers), but it does make my fridge reek of garlic. Next up, stuffed onions
I love you…..
Back at you
You’ve given up on dating?
She’s gone for guys who also eat enough garlic to keep Pie away.
For now
Men are dawgs.
Pigs, but yeah
That sounds delicious. Recipe? I have damn near 3 pounds of fresh garlic that I’m trying to put to good use.
How the hell did that happen?!?
Garlic Farmer?
My boss is a hippie and grows lots of veggies. Every time I visit the office, he offloads another few pounds on me.
Where’d you get 3 lbs of garlic?
Grow your own?
I like to imagine I’m the kind of person who would… but in truth, I’d fail miserably. We travel for more than a month at a time over the summer, which kind of puts a crimp in the ‘grow your own’ efforts. I’m lucky to know a few hobby farmers, though.
I’ve had no luck growing garlic. Despite what people have told me, squirrels apparently love it.
I was told that if you cover your garden in those spikey balls from sweet gum trees, the squirrels leave things alone. They don’t like walking on them.
Nobody does, Squirrel. Nobody does.
Worth a shot. Might save my tulips
Hmm. I grow garlic every year and it’s the one thing the squirrels don’t touch.
Everyone tells me that, but they dig it up and have obviously bitten it. Maybe my squirrels are just assholes.
If it’s underground with bite marks on it, I would think more that it was voles.
Nope, dug up.
Interesting. Blueberries and tomatoes, yes. Garlic? Never.
You may not have squirrels. You may have scoiattoli.
Italian squirrels?
Cause Italians and garlic? Ok, they can’t all be winners.
At least you tried god damn it.
/fly you cuckoo
With my tweaks: use a 9 inch tart pan with a loose bottom. Preheat oven to 350. Use a sheet of puff pastry to line the tart pan. Cut a circle of parchment paper and add baking beads or beans and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven remove paper and weights. Return to oven for 5-10 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside. Leave oven on.
While the pastry is baking:
Separate and peel 3 heads of garlic. (Actually start this while the puff pastry is thawing. It takes a while to peel three heads of garlic.) Put in small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain well, dry pot and return to heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Add 1 c of water and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and boil 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tsp of chopped fresh rosemary and 1 tsp of chopped fresh thyme and 1/4 tsp salt. Boil until most of the water is gone and the cloves are covered in a caramel syrup.
Crumble 2 oz of chevre and 2 oz of a harder goat cheese (like gouda) over the shell. Spoon the garlic and syrup into the tart shell over the cheese. Whisk 1 egg with 3 Tbsp of heavy cream and 3 Tbsp of creme tranche and 1/2 tsp of salt. Pour over the cheese and garlic. Make sure some cheese and garlic poke above the custard. Bake at 325 (lower the oven) for 35 to 45 minutes until the surface is lightly browned. Serve with a green salad with a sharp vinaigrette.
My kids will hate it, my husband and I will love it. Thanks!
The next time, I’ll use 1 tablespoon of balsamic, but the original recipe called for 1 tsp – it needs more. I may also substitute brown sugar.
I may end up playing with it a bit myself, depending on what’s available in the cupboard when I try it. If I make any major tweaks and like them, I’ll let you know!
Thanks. This is giving me lots of ideas. I bet a few olives, or pickled red pepper would be good, too.
I think a nice minerally white wine goes as well. Or a sweeter rose. Either is good
Gruner Veltliner.
Thank you. Will bake this on Saturday.

Oh yeah, familiar with the old favorites. I *love* garlic, which is why I accepted so many pounds of it in the first place. I was happy to find something I hadn’t seen before to try.
Have you pickled garlic? Because that’s awesome
That reminds me; how about stuffing those huge olives with a garlic clove in the middle? I don’t know how much of a DIY option that is.
I have not! Furiously googles ‘how to pickle garlic’….
I’ll put them in martinis. MikeS’s suggestion would also be good in a martini

Although, someone’s been trying to hack into my bank accounts the last couple of weeks.
I need to upgrade to the licensed version of avast on my laptop. I do have malwarebytes and nord vpn on my cellphone too. Faster to use my phone to do account transfers most of the time.
Most of my accounts are dual verification systems now – and I adjusted the firefox settings to log me out and delete all cookies every time I close the program or reboot. It is a little time consuming sometimes for glibs, etc – but I feel better in general.
Thinking about it more – I think these strikes were exclusively for iranian domestic consumption. These missiles aren’t shitty gulf war 1 scuds (most likely). They targeted air bases – generally a LOT of empty space there. Guessing theres a region we have no confirmed casualties so far.
“Reason”. I hate this stupid phone autocorrect.
They missed on purpose.
My assessment.
I don’t think the missiles were accurate enough to miss on purpose.
You might be surprised. But again – a LOT of empty space
If they are Gulf War 1 Scuds, an airbase is a hard target to hit.
But I saw a claim that we shot one down with the truck mounted Phalanx system that I forget the name of, which means they were rockets and not missiles.
C-RAM?
That’s the one.
When I heard about this, I expected a fair amount of coverage on the normal network channels. And I’ve seen nothing. Now I’m not saying I watched every channel every single second, but I expected to see something. and I don’t.

In my previous low-carbing life wherein I lost oodles of weight, I practically lived on mayo and beef, both of which I love(d). Then I got pregnant and couldn’t stand the smell of meat. I pretty much lived on refried beans, cheese, and Mt Dew. Last year, when my ulcer was developing (unbeknownst to me), I got to where I couldn’t eat much beef and then chicken and then mayo and then I was just down to a can of chicken noodle soup a day. In April I landed in the hospital blah blah blah blah blah. Whatever. I have an ulcer. Yippee.
Anyway, it’s been nine months and I still can’t deal with beef without some sort of sauce or mixer (e.g., refried beans) or I get nauseated and I can’t handle mayo at all without getting nauseated. Chicken is not much better. I don’t dare try eggs. Pork is okay (???). And citrus (lemonade, orange juice) is actually soothing, as is sugar and bread. I find that whatever sounds like it might make me queasy, does.
I don’t know WTF is going on, except that I am NOT pregnant. This is getting in the way of my weight-loss efforts. Well, what few of them there are. But low-carb is my big gun and beef is my major ammunition.
You ever try the CarbQuik stuff ?
As a sub for wheat, you can do lots with it, and Im thinking perhaps start incorporating beef-y stuff.
Then again, Ive done “fried rice” with riced cauliflower and pork. With added soy & teriyaki its decent.
Sorry Mojo
Meh. It just occurred to me this might not be happening if I actually took my omeprazole like I’m supposed to. (I forget.)
Yeah, that might help. I had to take pantaprazole for a while. I was able to stop after a few months
I suppose the test would be to try to be more consistant with that and see if it helps. (Not a doctor, just a troubleshooter)
I can’t skip of day of taking omeprazole.
I went ‘down’ to famotidine (Pepcid) and it took me a week to adjust, but it works pretty well now without side effects.
I’ve been doing the Atkins frozen meals for lunch on workdays, and their Beef Merlot is one of my favorites. Every time I have it in the office break room, people say, “Ooh! Something smells good!” Warning: pricier than your average frozen “diet” meal, but maybe worth a try to see if it appeals, then try cooking it yourself? Can you cook with wine? No alcohol left, or Mr. GT couldn’t do it, and he likes it too.
A couple of years ago (I don’t know, maybe 3 or 4, I lose time so badly), I bought wine to cook with. Never did. I get gung-ho for things and then by the time I’m “ready,” I’ve lost interest. Anyway, I just threw it out a couple of months ago.
Me too
I make a lot of stews with my new InstaPot* and wine is a critical ingredient.
*or just slow cook – it’s almost easier
But yeah, before the InstaPot I never cooked with wine except a couple times to make a steak sauce
“… I pretty much lived on refried beans, cheese, and Mt Dew. ”
I once knew an individual who would have almost swooned over this statement of yours, Mojeaux, especially the Mountain Dew reference. He is the only individual that I met who could/would consume a twelve pack of Mountain Dew in one day.
I found his self-created bean dip recipe most excellent, and, in the paraphrased words of a peer who still works at a five star restaurant, “worthy of my establishment’s kitchen”.
Some of us encouraged the individual to market his recipe, yet to my knowledge he never did.
Although I can appreciate his keeping his recipe a secret for whatever reason(s) he had, I can also appreciate that many individuals on various websites seem very willing to share their own recipes, just as you have.
Oh, thanks, Charles! Yes, you’re welcome to the recipes. I have more to put up, too, like the peppermint cheesecake I made last week.
ANYHOO, I don’t normally drink pop, but when I do, it’s a citrusy one. Also, lemon-lime Gatorade when I’m craving it (which means my electrolytes are whacked). But now, I only ever drink Mt Dew when I’m roadtripping, which I haven’t done in years.
Do you think you might have an idea what was in that bean dip…?
“Do you think you might have an idea what was in that bean dip…?”
I have a fairly clear idea [or not], Mojeaux. Part of my conclusions are arrived at by the individuals who I mentioned (the individual at the five star establishment, et cetera).
Who started the pot, buttsecks, and Mexicans motto, anyway? Was it John?
Not to self gloss, but I think i may have first written it at the TOS. But I don’t know for sure.
Fabulous satire: I don’t often belly laugh while on my phone but I just did. Thank you for that. Very well done!
The Crazy Story of How Soviet Russia Bugged an American Embassy’s Typewriters
After tens of thousands of fruitless X-rays, a technician noticed a small coil of wire inside the on/off switch of an IBM Selectric typewriter. Gandy believed that this coil was acting as a step-down transformer to supply lower-voltage power to something within the typewriter. Eventually he uncovered a series of modifications that had been concealed so expertly that they had previously defied detection.
This month marks the end of an era for IEEE Spectrum. This issue is the last in which Robert W. Lucky’s Reflections column will make a regular appearance.
Damn.
Very clever.
Excellent work, SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr.
So I am no expert on the ME and there is still news to come in, presumably, but it would seem to me that this Iranian “retaliation” went as well as they could have hoped. Our liberal-panty-waist set are shrieking hysterically and the missiles seem to have hit nothing of war-starting import. Face-saving achieved? Let’s hope.
Also, fuck Iran.
They’ve already begun that, apparently:

All I can think of when I read that is Michaal Hihn.
Heh.
The first two comments sum up everything.

The American people support the government of Iran!
Hopefully our criminal Zionist leadership will be overthrown soon!

Move. Get the F out of the United States. You’re a traitor.
As usual, I’m not in either of those camps.
“Criminal Zionist leadership”
Yikes.
Wait, I thought Trump was an anti-Semite?
He’s the manifestation of whatever demon ails you. The Swiss Army Knife of Evil.
Yashar Ali warns: maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday.
Hmm, that’s interesting. Thanks for the share.
Not to say human life is fungible, but are we going to pretend that money and manpower spent targeting Israelis in Brazil wouldn’t be put toward targeting Israelis elsewhere? Or Americans, or Saudis, or Iraqis, or Iranian protestors?
But yeah, long-fuse resentment is pretty worrisome.
Welcome to Asia!
Is Ali suggesting that there wouldn’t be some long-fuse resentment if Sulimani hadn’t been killed? Things would have been cool otherwise?
That seems like a stretch.
The US was already the Great Satan – but now we’ve gone too far?
(When did I become Judge Nap? Why is everything a question?)
Maybe we’ve upgraded to Grand Poobah Satan.

Thank you, Plinker, that was inspiring.
Er, maybe this time?
Er, I mean Iran doing the saving face game and calling it good.
like the Black Knight…..
“come back!, I’ll bite your leg off!”
and since libertarians hate common sense regulations, many will overdose and die.
The whole thing is grand indeed, but that right there is a thing of sheer beauty.
Someone on Youtube posted a leaked scene from the JJ cut of Rise of Skywalker that shows a physical manifestation of Anakin/Vader was originally planned.
My decision to abandon the franchise looks better and better.

“Let me show you where the Sith Academy is…”
Quick thinking.
yikes!
Better?
That’s Don’s Schtick.
Though I’m glad you escaped California.
Your quick, I’ll keep an eye you…
Hah I was waiting for that – congrats
*applause*
yes…..
Bravo Trashy! Bravo!
The Iranians ineffectual attack was probably due to their realization that you don’t go poking the biggest baddest hornet nest in town when it is now ruled by a crazy mofo. Still, they better put the stick away before they poke once too often and get their asses stung to death.
President Crazy Mofo.
I kinda like that.
I find the link above saying that they will poke back, for real, when they feel like it, convincing. Cuz apparently that’s what they do.
there’s a YT video for that, maybe they should watch….
@Gustave and @Ted:
Mebbe you likey.

SomaFM! Again! Love it!
Thank you, double secret satan.
Nice! I’ve been plugging somafm here and the old place for years. I love them long time. Secret Agent Radio, Space Station Soma and 7inchSoul are my faves.
I listen to Groove Salad pretty much all day, via the Sonos, while I’m working.
I throw them some money a couple times a year.
I’m listening to Underground 80s right this second.
Dream Academy! It’s like I’m back in high school.
Right on, I also enjoy the Groove Salad and am due to send them a few bucks as well. I constantly find great stuff on their stations. This I dug the most from these past couple of weeks of listening:

I’m 20 seconds in and I already love it. That wah-wah…
That’s the great thing about it, you find a song or artist you like and start digging into their other stuff. That guy makes some good ass music. Somafm is what radio should be like but is not.
Nice! I used to not like that jazz drum but it’s grown on me.

I’ll repeat, Kings of Pain is my favorite modern reality show. “What do you do for a living?”
“We let painful and poisonous creatures bite us and then rate the pain and duration.”
Delightful comedy.
With Wendy still in ICU, and the drive up to vegas, I’m still not clear, GFM says to shil, so here I am again asking for help,

Queuing up another episode of Greatest Tank Battles on Amazon Prime…
73 Easting FTW!
Not really much of a battle, more like firing tank table 13 CKA. We were popping turrets off their tanks from a mile further than they could see.
I could watch this continuously for hours
I’ve been drinking and Witchering, did WWIII start yet? Or am ok to pass out tonight?
You can pass out – we’ll wake you if we all get killed.
Sleep well!

I’m not ready to pass out, I was just asking if was safe. And now I’m covered in…
Is that the S Club 7 chick CPRM faps too?
Yes, she is my Mecca.
WTF? She’s good and she’s only got 12,000 views in a year and a half?
Well, that is some random dude’s upload of her video.
The feel good story of the day.

I support the 2nd amendment, but I would never term a shootout a ‘good story’
The owner was physically unharmed. The armed robber is dead. Justice was served. I call that a good day.

A Ukrainian passenger plane with 180 people on board crashed in Iran. No survivors.
Double Trump Fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That doesn’t sound suspicious. Not at all. Nope. Nuh uh.
I doubt even the Iranians are stupid enough to bomb or shoot down an aircraft taking off from their own airport. Might as well just execute the passengers on the tarmac with the news cameras rolling.
That guy is like the Robert Byrd of Iran, isn’t he.
Lol.
We went from “Speak softly and carry a big stick” to “Tweet salty and swing your big old dick”.
Such a good neighbor.

Small world. I’m toggling between here and the WFMU chat board, and I just encountered an acquaintance from high school. From like, 1984. We’re both old. It’s kind of funny how reading a post, you can be like, “Wait! I know this dude!”
