Happy Halloween

 "Growing up" Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. Though, in the kid world, Xmas reigned supreme.  i don't remember us getting a ton of candy growing up, so Easter and Halloween were welcomed occasions.

i vaguely remember going out trick or treating with my alleged younger brother.  Going door to door asking for and getting candy.  Though there would be some joker out there who would give out wax lips, cheap "toys", Dum Dums, or toothbrushes.  We put candy in pillowcases (in a good year, over 50% full).  i would learn later, but the variety i got would have cost more than $50 today.  Buying your own candy kind of sucks.

There were always urban legends about razor blades or drugs in Halloween candy, but i never believed them.  i probably would have accepted caramel (no extraneous "A" in my pronunciation) apples and homemade treats too, but you can't do that anyplace but a high trust society.

i identify as a trick or treat age kid on Halloween.  Isn't that the way it works in the modern age?

Random Musings Today: Ads, FEMA, and other stuff (maybe)

 Have you ever found yourself in the store thinking that the Muzac is better than it used to be? Who among us has not sang along to a song in the supermarket?  Actually, that is not true, now they start including newer songs that suck. 2000s pop/rock kind of sucks.

* Saw "We Built This City" (sort of) on a Quilted Northern Ad.  Waiting for the extended version with the faux traffic report. Also saw an IHOP "Working for the Weekend" ad.  i guess these are technically parodies. 

Really, is nothing sacred.  Have modern crap "music" on your ads.  80s music rocked, try to hock you wares with something different.  Maybe some Taylor Swift shit (or is that redundant).

Random Musings Today: Lunar, Kids Names, Halloween

 Well, time for another post of meandering musings

- One of my favorite video games of all time is going to get released on Xbox, Lunar Eternal Blue.  Now i have to wait until Spring 2025 (assuming such a thing exists for me).  Silver Star Story was not terrible either (Dragonmaster Alex). 

- Kids names: i always hoped to sire 3 kids (assumed 2 daughters and a son).  However, going 0 for the Millennium kind of puts a damper on that. 

Random Musings Today: F*ing Political Ads and Voting

 What's weak this week. Lame, lame, lame.

* Political Ads: 

- If i wanted to watch a Marxist prostitute i wouldn't be watching Hulu.

Was watching Hulu yesterday, there were 12+ ads for Kamala Harris. One political ad is one ad too many.  Worse, the way they do the add with the Green screen and Hulu logo makes it look like it is a Hulu sponsored ad.  Have Hulu due to a $.99/month deal ending near Thanksgiving.

What side is the real cult?  One of the least popular Vice Presidents in history is suddenly Obama cult 2.0 (the whole Obama thing was a media creation).  Can't believe the democrats found someone less likeable than Hillary Clinton, but they have.  As is usual, taking soundbites completely out of context to promote a misleading narrative.

"We're not going back"... something all lemmings want to hear.  When you're on the verge of going over a cliff, going back sounds like a good idea. If the US actually "elects" this fraud, they deserve what they get.

Voting for Harris (who shouldn't be eligible in the first place "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" applies to all foreign nationals, not just diplomats).  Is akin to cartoon physics.  Trust me, you don't want to look down.

Happy 50th Birthday to Malevolence

In September 2022, i posited that if evil had a birthday, it would be September 20th - for no reason.

That got me wondering how old malevolence would be.  My answer is 50 (though some would say 49) - also for no reason.

No, i didn't use a thesaurus (always picture it as a type of dinosaur) - i actually use the word "malevolent" (or variations) at least once a quarter.

Random Musing Today: More Library Movies, Halloween is Coming, etc.

 In today's random musings, i will muse about whatever pops into my head or is annoying me.

* Had to pass a stupid Twitter/X Arkose Challenge. Replying to stupid MMT/UBI types, liars like Robert Reich and Biden are not spamming.  Like those accounts don't virtually spam Twitter/X with their inanity?  Wish that BS would quit showing up on my timeline.  Apparently, they put a flag on my account accusing me of being a spammer or something.  Had the account for a few years (i think).  

* More movies from the library: 

LEGO Sets That i Wish i Had

This post is a post of some of the LEGO sets i wished i had.  Many of these are from before i bought my first LEGO Classic set (right before "15 days to flatten the curve" COVID "pandemic" kickoff in the US).  Turns out, i'm not creative and need instructions to make anything.

Here are some of the sets i would get if i had a time machine and unlimited money.  There are probably more i don't know about.  Maybe Jaws and Bumblebee (Transformers) from this year, though not at those prices.
