I hereby crown you King Wing, the manliest of all people!

(This was supposed to be light-hearted, but I realized after reading it that it sounds like I’m mocking you…I promise I’m not).

Thus the salute!

Some folks call it a Sling Blade, I call it a Kaiser Blade.

Josh Todd of Buckcherry on stage now.

I’m pretty ok at knapping flint and I’m not a terrible hunter. I’m also usually in poor health.

So I’d probably die as a baby.

But not simultaneously.

Get in the truck, we’re headed out. I guess you can bring the fam but they might have to sit in the bed because I’m not putting my electronics back there.

Big hugs, buddy!!!

Damn, me too.

That’s fucking wild. I have two cards that are occasionally declined because they want to make sure I’m making the transaction. I can afford it but I’d be pissed paying a fee because my credit card company suspected I might not be the one wanting to upgrade to a second phone or whatever.

Vote now.

There used to be a company that sold grind plates you could add to your shoes but it looks like their website is defunct.

I thought Junior just meant they only had 3 or 4 pair of programming socks.

HEB baby! I can still get groceries!

It’s like hoping Disney beats the government. I know who I prefer to win but either way I’ve probably lost.

I’m on mine far more often than I’m in a car. I think Tesla found out that I point and laugh at any cyber trucks I see at red lights while I’m out and is trying to kill me.

That’s the one! It’s also in the garage. Still worked a while back when I hooked it up through a few adapters.

I always dumpster dived for computers. My buddy showed me where to go and when so we’d upgrade every year together when one of the local junior colleges threw out a bunch of stuff. We were always a few years behind but we had more tech toys than folks on the edge of poverty had the chance to pick up back in those days.

I remember being a teen in the late 90s with some computers to use and some to sell and we ended up selling enough to both get Bigfoot drives. A couple of gigs was MASSIVE compared to the TI stuff we both started on.

He’s still got the tax software with the booklet and ads featuring Bill Cosby running around somewhere. He’s also got a tattoo of the motherboard of the TI-99/4a because he said without it he wouldn’t be where he is today. But he doesn’t like Bill Cosby anymore.

I have a 40 year old book about TI BASIC somewhere in the garage plus some magazines with games. I built a fantasy game and saved it to cassette.
