So, welcome back, spuffmunki, to the devolution of your brain. If you have a life, return at once. I have a collection of unremarkable rocks that I don’t yet know what to do with. ---

Well, put 'em back in your head. Just another day of rain in Florida; I’m sure the ducks and frogs love it. ---

What are you planning for dinner? Duckfrogen? As a vegetarian, I hate it. I got my laundry done this morning. I love clean clothes. ---

That was so banal and uninspired, it almost killed the thread. _The Expanse_ got picked up by Amazon after Syfy dropped it. Rejoice! ---

Why not do something to actually help humanity instead of being so focused on a stupid TV show? My feet are a little sore right now. ---

Shame on you - all honey is the product of enslaved and exploited bees. Is it worth their suffering just so that you don’t sniffle quite so much? Down with the oppressive patriarchal apiarist tyranny! Almost time for lunch with my friend Jim. ---

Yeah, we wouldn’t want you to do any volunteer work or help another human being or anything, right? Jim (not “White Power” Jim, no) and I had a good lunch together. ---

I don’t have any Kit Kats, in fact, I don’t have any chocolate, but now I want some. So no chocolate, no break for me that’s so inconsiderate. I’m very happy to be home from work. ---
