"You get out of my truck right now. You can bloody well walk to Wennamucca! When I pick up a hitchhiker I don't take kindly to them launching into song about how well travelled they are. Sure, it had a good beat but I'm pretty sure you admitted to murder in that first verse."

This explains why I get an overwhelming urge to stick my head in a pig at the end of YouTube videos.

Another perfectly cromulent episode.
Eat The Pudding is the most fun you can have with things on/in your ears this week!

My dad was always fond of "Heavy Blatter"

So is it normal practice for all members of a family who are eligible to vote and living in the same house to just go at odd intervals or something?

There's sectarians now? Why can't people just be allowed to eat what they like in peace?

Huh, I live in the nape of Tintin's neck.

I keep trying to explain to my partner that giggling at my angry scouse accent really undermines my point.

Listening to my Billy Connolly LPs in preparation for reading selections from his autobiography to a bunch of pensioners this afternoon.

Thank you! I am fortunate that my vocal tics are mainly groans and clicks. Tics change throughout a person's life and there's always that fear that It'll creep into coprolalia.
It's just tough when I'm told I don't need to apologise for it and then see people demanding an apology from someone else.

All the discourse recently has caused my tics to be more severe.
Just hearing or even thinking about tics can set someone off and from there it can build up and feed into itself.

Now I know it's a fever dream. Scottish Evangelical Hugh Grant has just turned up.

I'm watching A Very Peculiar Practice for the first time. At least I think that's what I'm doing. I may have just had a nervous breakdown while watching Doctor Who.

This article, like a lot I've read recently, uses language like:
"Davidson shouted slurs at..."
There is no at.
Involuntary tics have no direction. They have no intended thought, meaning, or recipient.
Even "shout" implies control and force.
A tic is a noise that comes up your throat on its own

Fraiser: And how is your work going in Gotham, cousin Johnathan? What do you have there, is it a Batman or a Man-bat?

Scarecrow: We have both.

Niles: How exciting for you.

I have motor and vocal tics. They're uncontrollable. As usual context spoils the righteous indignation so it's given no critical thought.

when I started making music I dreamed of nobody even knowing what I looked like unless they'd seen me play live. I didn't put a single picture of myself on a record for 25 years. I hold the tyranny of the visual to be a general plague and the imperative to be seen in motion lest one vanish a loss

I'd just attach a digital copy or a scan personally. I feel like most jobs do this stuff just to weed people out. I once applied for a job that asked me to prove that not only was I a citizen but both parents were at the time of my birth. I ignored it, got the job, and it was never mentioned once.

I thought it meant you had to show you had qualified in something no one else had. Like "here's my bachelor's degree in gosling juggling and harpsichord repair."

Being a teenage boy is like the difference between pointillism and impressionism: It all comes down to how big your spots are.

A really good subscription model, of course, is the licence fee, which everyone keeps boasting that they have cracked some amazing life hack to avoid, but while still consuming the output.

If everyone jumps the turnstiles, we stop having trains.

This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time.

“People talk a lot about how many crops it takes to feed my plague of locusts. But you know what else eats a lot of crops? That’s right - humans. Makes you think.”

Applied for a job and on the page when I search the application everything seems fine and normal but there's just the word 'Screen' on one line totally isolated. I have no idea what that's about.
Do I require extra screening? Are they vetting me? Is my resume flagging as a possible virus?

My friend, Edith, bought one of these. Cost a fortune. Asked her if she wished she’d saved her money. “Non, René Magritte rien.”
