I grew up on this comic. An old friend and I used to look at these together growing up.

Hell Weekend Ends
Well, it was pretty exciting but the weekend upgrade thing is over.
Well, for now anyway. I expect we will be still working on things for most of the week.
Collective sigh…
P.S. Yes. Nude girl jumping is appropriate.
Cancel Culture
I am surprised to see this from California.
“Cancel culture and the efforts to silence differing opinions and voices should be a growing concern for all of us,” said state Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore. “A climate of intolerance has been established and has stifled healthy and normal debate. Anyone who values their own freedom of speech should be concerned.”
Why Marriage Sucks – Part 22
I could write an entire book on why marriage is a horrible institution.
On my website, a bad marriage is defined by any marriage. They are all bad.
This post might jump around a bit.
Marriage is basically agreeing to put up with someone else until either you die or you get sick of them and someone in the relationship leaves.
Why? Because society makes you believe that marriage is the way to go. Look at all of the benefits that marriage brings you? It’s ok. I’ll wait.
Hell Weekend Begins
I guess another term for it would be major system upgrade.
I’m not sure how much writing I’ll be able to do over the weekend but I am hoping to keep to the schedule.
I’ve gotten a brilliant idea to write a screenplay for my next big thing. I’m still working out what the movie would be about.
Personal Quote
Sometimes when I am in the bathroom in the morning, I’ll be thinking about a topic and just proceed to create a great quote from it.
The key to remembering everything is to NOT remember anything.
You are probably shaking your head. “This is complete doublespeak and poppycock!”
I assure you that it is not.
Our brains are horrible at remembering anything. If that is true, then why rely on it? While we may remember events, do we truly remember them in every perfect detail? No. No, we do not.
The trick is to make sure you write your brilliant ideas down somewhere. It could be the phone that you are carrying with you. It could be an app like Drafts on your Apple Watch that lets you dictate a quick note that syncs to your phone or laptop.
I have a waterproof writing system in the shower which is how I remembered my quote to share with you right now.
Get it down and you’ll always remember!
HDWGH – Story 21 – Supermarket Shuffle
HDWGH – Story 21 – Supermarket Shuffle
–From The How Did We Get Here Series–
Now: 71 year old grocery shopper Helen Ford is standing in front of the local grocery store in handcuffs. Police have her surrounded and are in the process of interrogating her. She is obviously confused and terrified.
Before: Gordon Hoffman was late for the “drop.” His regular girl Abby couldn’t make it this morning so the daily cocaine drop for the day was left up to a kid named Jordan Wilkerson. The drops were always made in plain site at the local grocery store. So far, no one in his drug chain had been arrested or even questioned. Who would think that drug deals were happening in the grocery store? Gordon thought the whole idea was brilliant.
Jordan looked at the hand written instructions with a bit of puzzlement. He had issues with dyslexia but he often sometimes omitted or added words that weren’t there. To Jordan, the note read “Look for a 71 year old woman. They will be near the cucumbers at precisely 0815. All you have to do is slip the package into the open carry bag that will be around their shoulder.”
What Jordan actually read was “Look for a 17 year old man. They will be near the cucumbers at precisely 0815. All you have to do is slip the package into the open carry bag that will be around their shoulder.”
Gordon Hoffman was still 5 minutes away from the store…so…
On time and on cue, Jordan dropped the drugs into Helen Ford’s purse at precisely 0815. He had certainly got the time and place right. This story would have stopped right there…except for one other thing.
While getting her purse out of her handbag during checkout, the drug pouch fell out and spilled all over the counter. The check out lady was Marcy Walker whose son Gabriel had a serious cocaine problem so Marcy knew instantly what it was, let out a few curse words in Mrs. Ford’s general direction, and called the police.
Frickin Laser Beams
Looks like we’re going to finally get some Star Wars style weapons after all.
CW lasers may be effective enough for now, but fall short of science fiction. They just aren’t capable of firing at that speed. While they can melt their targets, burn them or mess with optical sensors by zapping them with high-intensity light, they are nowhere near vaporizing the outer layer of a drone like the USPL can. The UPSL improves on CWs massively. This thing is rugged enough to withstand being beat up, but can aim with precision and do irreversible damage. It can turn pieces of a target to vapor, screw with sensors enough to make them useless, and also overpower the innards of the electronics from the Dark Side.
Yes.
