In other news, I was at the deli, yet they were out of bread, but I remembered that my arm were made of bread, so I was able to make do with what I had.

I just accidentally spent the last hour listening to and recording short wave radio bands. I'm basically addicted. Hopefully bits and pieces will appear as loops/effects/sounds in future songs. This process is tapping into some corner of my brain I didn't know about.

I was at the park not long ago and they were having a shortwave meet up, filled with middle aged men with pocket protectors and their super model groupies (that part a joke), stringing antenna wire all around in an effort perhaps to contact Mars. I joked at the nerdome to my wife, only to be told I was likely staring into my not too distant future.

You apparently arrived already. Save me a seat.

And I'm not even middle aged. I'm not sure what that says about my future.

Probably just means you should have an enlarged prostate by your early thirties.

early thirties. — Hanover

Already there. Is that middle aged? Fuck me if so. I just take my sudden shortwave radio fascination to be a natural extension of my incredibly sensitive and empathetic listening skills, as evidenced by my many model groupies who have told me as much over the years.

Someone knows if @Amity is doing well? I checked the profile and it says that the last time active was one month ago. It is weird when some users are not around and you were used to interact with them.

I think she tends to dip in and out. I trust she's doing well, and that we'll see her again soon enough.

Thanks for cleaning up my doubts!

accidentally — Noble Dust

I'm sure it was fascinating, but how did it happen 'accidentally'?

It's always a surprising discovery but people have lives apart from TPF. Perhaps she found someone new and exciting. Like any of us guys, only in the flesh. Shawn has been absent for 8 days.

Or perhaps there was a dreadful accident, a case of flesh-eating streptococci, a radical philosophical conversion, dysfunctional equipment, or an unpaid ISP bill.

Is that middle aged? — Noble Dust

You think you'll make it to 80? Then middle age starts at 40. Middle age was the best of time; it was the worst of time. But youth was not so great either. So far, old age has been the tops.

I often make some breaks from internet to when life is getting busy. Yet, I don't remember staying out for more than one month. That's why I got worried, I remember Amity as someone who interacts a lot in the forum and she wrote big analyses in Short Story competion of December.
On the other hand, yes I miss @Shawn's photos of pigs too.

It is interesting because if we calculate with percentages the use of my hours, I guess I interact more with TPF members than persons of "real life". 60 or even 70 % of my life presence is flowing around here.

Amity is very sharp. So is Shawn. Yes, miss them both - and others besides. Don't go away -- we would all miss you!

Don't go away -- we would all miss you! — BC

So you too! We would all miss your presence!

I miss you guys every time I blink, worried you won't reappear, but each time you do, calming my hyperventilating anxiety.

Other than the blink issue, I'm super chill.

The other thing that stresses me is that the burden increasingly rests on me to nonsense post, with the rest of you slackers doing as you will, knowing that I'll relieve you of that responsibility by working a double shift.

I mean I even posted an arm sammich, and what do I get in return?

Plot Twist: Wormholes May Have Already Been Discovered
^{— Rishabh Nakra, Shreejaya Karantha, Jeffrey Smith · The Secrets of the Universe · Dec 23, 2022 · 7m:29s}

The hypothesis is that wormholes (relativity) ≈ entanglement (quantum mechanics).
A connection between relativity and quantum mechanics.
I suppose it does make entanglement less "spooky". :)
Hard to imagine full implications; we'll see what comes of it.

This looks amazing. I have yet to try plum pie. I’ll add it to my list. Damn.

I went straight from high school into middle age. I never liked being young - I hated the experience of inexperience and the music and the culture were a turn off. So I got a Harris tweed jacket, started listening to Mahler and never looked back. I hope to slip into old age momentarily...

Here's jambon-beurre sandwich. I don't eat it. But if you like a simple sandwich, this will surprise you.

With elbow patches, I hope.

I had a Harris tweed jacket before our dog chewed off a sleeve.

I know what you mean. I've always been much more mature than my friends. Prolly cuz my crazy huge schlong.

Having an immense member is also obligatory for wisdom.

The real devil is a November wind who lifts the black arms of the sinner without craving or aversion.

He'd join the mourners in celebration of the slain if he had eyes to see the pain or ears to hear the cries.

I just watched "The Third Man" after learning it was supposedly one of the top movies of all time.

Meh.
