RITA'S CXLV: Lenny Bruce is Gone But his Spirit’s Livin’ On and On

[howyadoin]

That snowman is really very jolly.

Beautiful.

Thanks, fellas.

I received my dinosaur metal flake this past week. The pictures do not do these justice. There are layers of beauty and texture to the work. I just wish I had the bucks to pay you for a nice 24" x 36" piece.

Cool. I was wondering if you'd gotten it yet. Would you mind snapping a pic of it once it's on the wall?

I want one of these. DO YOU FUCKING HEAR ME UNIVERSE?!? Make it fucking happen!

You could always wait for the Hot Pink pin-up girl show.

heh ... I have my issues but thankfully, stalking teenage girls on the internet is not one of them.

She has a big mouth. I am more concerned that she will boast to her friends that "Mr Winslow" sent her a friend request. I don't "friend" former students, but if graduates send a request i will ususally accept.

Has she accepted the request yet? If not, you might be able to cancel the request.

How do you do that? I was looking and couldn't figure it out.

Edit: I figured it out. Potential crisis averted ... whew. I owe you, man.

Yup. Will do. It might be awhile since there is talk of moving offices around here. Right now it is sitting on my desk.

Heh ... no. She's a senior this year. I taught her two years ago when she was a sophomore. And I am beginning to wonder if "once a teacher, always a teacher" applies, even when they get older. That is, the way the relationship was initiated will always make it feel icky to cross the sexual boundaries. It's hard to explain.

Although I will admit I was also stupid on Linked-In few months ago. My employer asked me to start a Linked-In profile for marketing. So I did. I looked up my high school girlfriend, but later discovered the linked-In profiles allow you to see who was looking at your profile.

It's so hard to be a creepy stalker these days.

Awww... you probably just made her day. She's probably glowing today knowing you still think about her.

I didn't put my maiden name on facebook so I could avoid all exes. I have a cousin with the same first name/maiden name as me, and she has gotten some pretty interesting drunken private messages.

Does anyone know if there's a Facebook bug that can cause you to 'Share' stuff without your permission?

Because an uncle of mine has, who uses Facebook regularly but not obsessively, has suddenly 'Shared' 70 photos today, all from pages he 'Likes.' My feed is drowning in just his updates. And a lot of them are more controversial than he usually tends towards (both politics and religion).

I'm tempted to email him to say that something might be wrong, but at the same time, I don't want to do that if he's just gotten ridiculously share-happy on a whim. So I figure I should at least determine if this is an actual phenomenon first.

This is why I hate facebook. Relatives!

Also, why are you not my facebook friend, Big Brain? How dare you.

There's no fucking way I could afford a hot pink pin-up girl. BUT at $60.00 plus shipping I'm trying to talk Mr. Strange into letting me buy a Xmas one. So far no go... but I haven't broken out my secret weapon yet. I'll keep you posted.

Yay! Howy saves the day!

He could have been hacked, or he might be share happy. you can send him an email asking him if he's sharing so much and wondering if he's been hacked.

I have a nephew named Jordan and I regularly get ads and "shares' from Nike Air Jordans. I had to finally block his feed.

Family and friends that were sharing obnoxious political memes got blocked by me pretty early in the election season.

Oh man, sometimes I am really a nerd. So this company that makes a physical card game called Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer. Eventually it was ported to iPhones/iPads. It includes an online asynchronous multiplayer, like Words With Friends, I generally have about 10 games going at once. well now the company that makes the game, annouced and scheduled a world tournament, open to 128 players. I gave it a shot, and I am in the tournament!

Woo! You will WIN! Or else.

Did just that. Turns out my aunt had the day off, and got really share-happy.

(Kinda glad I didn't cite the vaccine-denial 'shares' as evidence of why I thought it might be a hack.)

I would feel sad for you if I were not around to bring you pinkness.

Agreed.

Actually, I'm still sad for you.

Unacceptable. You should be reserving sad for other things than me.

You are good for painting.

Frosty and Tree Green are my favourite.

[bipolar danger girl]

Agreed.

I just found out your pants are lucky. Can't be sad for a man with lucky pants.

I don't need much-just $37,800 and a bottle of Scotch*.

Anyone?


Bueller?




*it can be the cheap kind, I don't care**.

** except Cutty Sark. Or JW Red Label.

[Winslow]

A friend emailed me this and it made me think of BPD. I wonder why.

Although I may be able to buy you a drink second week in December. I'll keep you posted.

Fuckin' A-right.
