A boomerang is when a past #shenanigans slides into your DMs with an innocent-sounding, How you doing?
It never fails. They always boomerang. Could be 20 years. 3 years (like this one). 1 year. Whatever. Boomerang.
Him: Do you still like [thing]?
Me: Tsk tsk tsk. We do not have a dynamic. My likes are not of interest.
Him: I just wanted to know how you were doing.
Me: Well, now you know.
When it comes to Boomerangs, having a keen sense of bullshit is necessary.

40 Years Ago: Van Halen Fan Risks Life to Party With His Heroes
Kurt Jefferis, 20, was on head trauma medication when he won MTV ‘Lost Weekend’ contest and spent two nights with the band in 1984.
I've got money on my flank that says the UCP's vital partners in private health insurance, even those whose spouses failed miserably in their re election attempt last May, are set to make out like bandits.
I finished my Paxlovid regimen last night and feel 97% better. The guts are still wild, there is a wet-sounding cough that is occasional and produces some phlegm, and snot will never leave me, apparently, but I feel good.
(I took Benson for a 90-minute walk. We loved it. He had 3 poops!)
Now, what?
Am I cured? Am I better? Is that it?
I'm girding myself for Pax Rebound but have no idea what that is going to entail.
Thanks for everyone's well-wishes! The parasocial support has been very nice. 🤗
Fed Benson and am on the couch being all sick and shut in: monitoring my resting heart rate (normal), blood oxygen (normal), and breathing (normal).
And my taste/smell is totally back! There is definitely something smelling yucky in my fridge. But cereal tasted SO good today. I also squeezed 4 mandarins and mixed their juice with some cold tonic water. My God. The best.
(Question: what about Covid and sex? Is that included in the 'no physical activity'? Cuz uh the #shenanigans are back on schedule, thank god.)
Also ordering my annual box of See's truffles, even though there's a fancy Belgian chocolatier in Rockridge. The fancy chocolates are delicious and make me feel like Hercule Poirot but for Xmas, the tradition is See's.
I'll be WFH this week again, the daycare is picking up Benson so I don't need to do the long walk, and I go on holiday break Thursday for the rest of the month.
#HappyBirthday#Doom! I still can't believe it's been #30Years and you're still making an impression... To celebrate, today we're going to take a look at Romero's #SIGIL and #SIGIL2 episodes, before diving into a megawad I've been wanting to try for a while and just never gave it a chance. Come stop by and celebrate one of gaming's most influential titles' birthday with us on today's #Sunday#Stream#Shenanigans for #Doomcember!
#HappyAnniversary#Doom! That's right, Doom turns 30 this month and to celebrate we're #Streaming all Doom, all #Doomcember! Come stop by while we #RipAndTear through all of the official megawads with some extras to make it interesting!
like, when i look back on all my romantic partners (i.e., the Trail of Grumps), they were all brilliant, cranky, and creaky.
(Even the younger-than-me ones. They were metaphorically creaky. They were aging in spirit. They were like Benjamin Buttons of #shenanigans . Young on the outside but 85 years old on the inside.)
anyway. sharing this because i'm procrastinating. i don't want to start cooking, yet.
There are many low-profile jobs you can't get if you have poor credit because you might be vulnerable to exploitation. How TF does Speaker of the House have 200K in income and no bank account to his name? #shenanigans#mikejohnson#corruption#farright#nationalsecurity
In recent years we had a ballgown breakfast in the Dorint during #AgileTD.
The idea is to dress up in a ball gown (or whatever fancy outfit you prefer) for breakfast one morning. This is explicitly not just for people who wear dresses and if you've ever wanted to wear a pretty dress this is a safe space to do it.
Look fancy and pretty, take pictures if you like and enjoy good food together.
Imagine how many janitors and their families could be living a life of luxury right now if only scooby and the gang hadn't exposed their somewhat convoluted ghost related plans to steal their evil employer's money and grassed them up to the filth. And yet the theft of bread and many sandwich ingredients from the refrigerator goes unreported..? 🧐 #shenanigans
