I post a benign comment, you fake offense to it and then post your own.

If you keep watching the clock like that you will become a very wise and fascinating person.

I’m hoping to fall asleep way before the boomboom at 11:50.

That’s because you are an unimaginative old fart who lacks the passion for life and the zeal for experience that would lead you to properly appreciate ringing in the New Year!

I myself will probably be asleep by 10 or 11 on December 31, as I’m an early-to-bed-and-early-to-rise kind of person.

What that about being an old fart, Ben Franklin?

My wife and I ringing in the New Year at home, with homemade prosciutto and arugula pizza, white wine, Scrabble and a movie, then watch Times Square on TV.

You’re very thoughtless, mentioning your homemade pizza. How are the lazy asses (such as myself) supposed to feel, with our frozen Red Barons?

It’s a fine morning but a little chilly. Got down into the low 20s F (that’s chilly in New Mexico).

ER, how you can say chilly when it’s all about the Chili’s in NM

Which begs the question, red or green chili sauce?

It’s chile! CHILE! With an E!!! (That’s my false outrage, as required- and I love both with a slight preference for green).

I’m thinking of getting a cat.

It’s been days have you made up your mind yet, think of the poor cats left out in the cold and hungry because of your indecision!

leftover pizza or stale scones for breakfast, which goes better with cold coffee?

What, do you eat crap food all the time? You might as well eat mold; seriously make some eggs or pancakes, or something.

Listening to cool jazz on Spotify.

You pay for Spotify, when there’s so many free alternatives? Not too bright, are you.

Shopping day again.

It’s always shopping day. Shopping never ends. I hate it. That’s one reason I work in a store–I do not have to go shopping.

50 degrees today. I’m wearing my new lightweight coat.

How pathetic that you need to brag about a new lightweight coat - news flash, no one cares.

I drank just enough wine to make me feel relaxed and slightly sleepy.

And that’s what- eight bottles? Another sign of alcoholism, you become too tolerant of its effects -call AA now!

My kitty’s a frisky fella, jumping around, playing with catnip toys, purring…

…and poopng, scratching, spazzing out on catnip then attcking your toes and ripping your naugahyde, i bet your wife gets to sift the itter box, that’s a lazy present you get the beneifts she gets the work!
I can only have neutral colored cats that compliment my decor, black, white or gray.

Black, white, gray - decor colors of the clinically depressed or annoyingly hip.

Set up the smart home devices I got as gifts; voice control of TV, audio, lights, thermostat.

Another person becoming a slave to technology. Who is in charge here, you or the machines?

Holidays make me appreciate my routine life.

I appreciate the Constant of Proportionality pbbbt!

Corn dogs in my dreams, slightly nightmarish.

And we all know what corndogs represent…

Drinking mint tea.

Ah, so relaxing… but drink TOO much mint tea and you can relax esophageal and uterine muscles excessively — watch out for severe heartburn and a miscarriage!

Drinking mineral sparkling water.

Next in that progression is drinking your own urine. Go look in the mirror. Urine drinker?I’

I’ll take the Christmas decorations down tomorrow.

Christmas decorations come down the first Saturday in January. You’re a little late.

Yesterday I got to the bus stop in the morning when the bus was loading passengers, and he same for the evening commute. First time that has happened ever.
