I really connect with the manic rage and disconnected Robotness expressed by Pairou and Son.
To fix the robot, spray yourself with WD 40. That is sometimes helpful. But WD 40 is a lube and then duct tape won't stick. Duct Tape was invented to fix the world.

Right now I am protesting the world by not washing dishes and taking out the garbage. I'm not even putting the garbage in the can... I just throw it on the floor. I haven't shaved for a while and I need a bath.

Yesterday I did compromise and take out the recycling.
I'll have to take out the kitchen scraps and banana peals I've got in a small compost bin. If I don't, the apartment fills with fruit flies.

If I really hunker down, I don't need to leave the apartment for a week or more. Food is good. That's the bait that will draw me out.

My head hurts... every day. I had a CAT scan last spring. They didn't see anything. Not even a brain.

I'm skipping things... Couple Christmas parties coming up next week and I'm thinking of not going. Just plain pissed at the world these days.

After reading a few posts I don't feel so alone.

Thanks for being here for me.

WD-40 and duct tape, you say? Sounds kinky.

Are you telling me that the one and only Skilsaw is still wreaking havoc and dispensing wisdom on this forum? I can't think of anything more cool.

Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil for I am the craziest one in the valley.

"Praise the Lord" which is Christian speak for "Allah Akbar". Amen, And it was so.

Now Wildchild, I'll have to mine your history of posts because , alas, I don't hear a ringing bell at the mention of your name.

My favorite caper on the Forum was pretending to be a love struck woman who passionately wanted to engage in a relationship with a truly disturbed guy who was totally "know it all" and controlling of his bipolar girlfriend. Her medications were wrong and her psychiatrist wouldn't listen to him. Her parents didn't understand her and encouraged her to live her own life, free of him. She didn't know what was good for herself. Only he did. It was totally funny. I kept posting love letters here, pledging my undying love while getting as close to XXX rated in expressing my desires as I could without getting kicked off. Never went to PMs. That would have been no fun. He kept pushing me away and encouraging me to get help. But he kept answering me which kept the conversation going... The moderator finally called me on it in a PM. It was the most energized work of fiction I have ever written. It makes me me chuckle even today.

Quietgirl, I promise I won't do it again. The Truth will set me free.

I wish I could post a meme of a kitten looking totally adorable. Or maybe a poop emoji.

@Skilsaw,

The only thing that I can say is that if you know you'll have a horrible time at some party, why waste your time. I missed one this past weekend. I was happier not going. Being pissed off at the world or not, you do as you please (is my thinking, anyhow :D ).

Quietgirl, I promise I won't do it again. The Truth will set me free.

skipped the first Christmas Party today.

There were a few people that would have been good to visit with. I only see them once a year but we have good roots that go back to the 1970's.

There are others that I have known just as long. They were dipsticks then and they are still dipsticks. What a waste of oxygen. When they fart they produce methane which contributes to climate change. Two good reasons to reconsider the benefits of eugenics.

Sorry skrilldawg but hollywood doesn’t run to pay someone money for an escapade. They just take it. Novody hands you cash for that, and if they do you can claim to be entitled to more so why would they?just celebrate being one of a kind, buy a Lincoln and expand these thoughts like Matthew McCoughnahey. Work wherever you’re at man, be a rolling stone.

Amen. I'm a proud rolling stone with the vocabulary of George Carlin. See if you can find his famous "The seven words..." skit on Youtube.
