...was handed a major unexpected and unpleasant personnel issue with the non-profit social service agency I assist. Third one this year. These folks are better than this....

... realized how much of my personal tastes (a fondness for aircraft, art deco stylings, and boozing in exotic locales) can likely be traced to the early 90's cartoon, TaleSpin:
And in Nasty Genie too. You especially liked having me and Blaze run over by vehicles. Perhaps because you didn't get to ride bumper cars enough as a kid?
But atfer all, you were just sticking to the spirit of the thread by being the Nastiest Genie possible
... Recalled with some small measure of alarm how thothkins would always find creative ways to kill me.
Of course, it was the Nasty Genie thread. Very kind of you to think of me as the nastiest genie possible. This of course, does not translate to any mercy whatsoever when I get back to posting on it
Was that quite fairly soon after I joined too? What a lovely impression I must have made
Incidentally, I'm not sure I did get to ride bumper cars much as a kid. A few grown up car incidents made up for it I think.

Showing mercy would only weaken your standing in the Nasty rankings, after all

I only rode bumper cars once as a kid, but it was a very fun experience.
We're only frenemies until I offer you all of my imagined inheritance, BraJa
I rode bumper cars a few times. They were among the times I felt like I could take risks without much consequence. I was a very timid child.
I outgrew it, of course. Bungee jumping, skydiving, scuba diving... bring it on!
On second thought, maybe not. That just gives thothkins more vehicles to crash into me

...amazingly, the bungee cord keeps bouncing back down into all those people in their bumper cars... boing...thump... boing... thump... the carnival is going to get into trouble for the cord length and the attractions layout. Although it does seem to be attracting quite a crowd...boing...thump..boing...thump...

Did some laundry, picked up some prescriptions (shout out to my pals at the Kroger pharmacy, they don't even ask me or my wife's birthdays for verification anymore) and dropped off my daughter at a spend-the-night birthday party. It's been a thrill-ride kinda day. Oh and I looked around in our trash-heap of a garage for a spindle of CD's I know is around here somewhere.
