I very much appreciate all the favs and the comments you folks are kind enough to give me!

I was really glad to see the reception these last two comics/sequences got.

thank you, thank you, thank you!

and a bonus from the Metal God, Ronnie James Dio, because I love you all!

I watched every bit of it during its original run.

I was horribly disappointed that it only lasted 2 seasons.

but.. that means you can watch all of Max Headroom in ONE DAY, if you please.
it apparently is ALL on YouTube for everyone to enjoy.

so go, look it up, and have some quirky eighties satirical fun!

thanks to  cuprohastes (who recently did a MH-themed version of his dragon
but says he's not watched it!) for reminding me of this fun thing. :)

I was visiting with a couple of friends last night, and one of then got pretty frisky with me,
doing and sharing some really nice things that would normally have me enthusiastically poking a nice tent.

alas, that tent would not pitch. not at all. not even after five hours of playing with things.

after that long while, I got frustrated and tried a bit of extra effort with the massage.

much to my surprise, I went too far even in that noodley state,
and ended up popping a load while being almost entirely flaccid.

also to my surprise. it felt a lot nicer than my full-hardon expulsions,
which almost always give the impression
of being squeezed through a pinprick passage with cheesecloth covering it.
(they actually kind of hurt a bit, with a dull burning ache deep inside -- this softie spooging didn't hurt at all.)

so I discovered last night that erections aren't even needed to go splort. :P

also, probably need to get a prostate exam, at the very least. >.>

hold your heads high, guys!

there is no shame at all in your performance during the championship game last night.
I was hoping you would present worthy opposition, and I was not at all disappointed.

your composure was fantastic, right up to the bitter end with 0:12 left in the game.
it could just as easily gone the other way.

I never felt -- until that very end -- that the game was in hand for the Tide.

my favorite moment after the game involved Alabama's RB Derrick Henry and Clemson's QB Deshaun Watson hugging on each other and exchanging amicable words.

it made my heart feel mighty big, to see that level of sportsmanship from two of the best players in college football.

I was shocked to read this morning that David Bowie is no longer with us.

that he was able to record and release his ★ (Blackstar) album just a couple of days ago,
while fighting terminal cancer, says volumes about his dedication to his art.

I'm gonna miss his quirky, intelligent take on music of all sorts.
he was a treasure to the world, and he gave us his very best right up to the end.

much <3 to you, sir. I hope you'll be entertaining whatever thereafter there might be, for ages to come.

for the most part, 2016 has started out all right for me.

I hope it's the same for you folks!

I'm thankful for all the good things I had for 2015.

I hope I won't have to endure more of the bad things that happened this year.

much love to you all. <3

may your holidays be sweeter than ever!

if you might be interested in adding your input, please go here and let 'em know!

so I just made a couple of plain old hot dogs with regular buns.

I laid some Miracle Whip™ knockoff on the bottom of the buns, then put in the frankfurters.

on top of these, I added sauerkraut and jalapeño pickle relish,
then dripped a modest amount of inexpensive buffalo wing sauce over that
and finally, I poured a line of roasted red pepper Italian dressing on each.

I know now that pickle relish and sauerkraut TOTALLY go together on a hot dog!

these came out divine. <3

current forecast is for this Christmas Day to feature on-and-off rain

and a high of ~71°F / 22°C -- about 21°F/11°C above normal for this time of year.

yay, El Niño phase of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)!

this takes me way back to another Christmas that was about 75°F.
we ended up doing backyard grilling Christmas lunch of burgers and dogs
to take advantage of the curiously balmy weather.

I would not doubt that El Niño was responsible for that one, too,
but I don't remember exactly what year it was!

I am gonna take the night off from IMs and get some rest.

you folks have a good one. <3

lately, it's been feeling a lot more like early September than mid-December!

El Niño, baby, I am looking at YOU...

even if it's not really your fault!

thanks to those of you who responded to my previous two journals regarding this matter.

because this business has now been taken to A-B over on LJ, I have removed those journals.

I didn't even mind going away with only half the take-home cash that I got last night.

there were a couple of annoying things, but after last night,
I have decided to just try to chill out
and not let stuff bother me so darned much.

we'll see how successful that is. :P

2nd delivery of the night was to a customer whose yard is cramped at best.

I positioned my truck -- which has a really wide turning radius -- so that I could back into their main yard,
as I did the previous time, no muss, no fuss, no damage to the lawn.

this was a perfectly bone-dry yard, covered only in grass and leaf litter.
there was NO reason for the customer to force me not to use that avenue.

instead of letting me take the safe and easy way out,
the customer insisted on my turning around in a very cramped part of the yard,
between their car and a bunch of ground lamps.

I told them my truck would not fit in there easily, but they insisted.

so. I ended up backing into a tree on the edge of that cramped place,
destroying a tail-light lens because I was so focused on not hitting their yard crap or car...
which brought customer back to the door to stare at me
as I spent another entire minute wasting time,
jockeying around before I could depart the dog-forsaken place.

rest of the evening was pretty much rage. won't go into details but I behaved VERY badly for a bit.
primal howls, f-bombs, screeching tires and growling engines, and all.

one of my co-workers screwed up a very SIMPLE order, recording a cheese pizza instead of a beef one.

guess who got to re-deliver that, after having to apologize to the customer for showing up with the original wrong order?
I'll give props to the customer, at least -- he let me keep the tip the first time even though the order was wrong.

so yeah, almost quit that job last night. it was pretty much the worst one in 4 years on the job.
so now you know why I didn't stay on SMS or Skype long, last night.

(edited to be A TAD BIT more polite, and remove unnecessary bit of snark.)

my l'il bro  jimmyarthur104 requested a lovely thing from  toddlergirl
during her recent sketch event in which folks requested art for others!

Hay's baking up the goodness, right here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18436102/

thank you both so much!
this really lifted up what had been a not-so-great evening. <3

this one is going WAY better than their Kickstarter attempt!

as of this posting, it's at about $179,000 of $250,000 needed,
with a really long time, 41 days, left to go.
I have a feeling this thing is going to work out!

if you love Don Bluth and especially Dragon's Lair,
please pitch in a few bucks and help make this happen!

this is for funding a short pitch film, not for making the actual movie.
the pitch film will be used to attract funding for the full movie.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/.....lair-returns#/

(also changed title so it's more clear this is for pitch, not full film. thanks, Moro!)

links to journal with poll links appears below.

PLEASE do not be shy. you can vote even if you don't want to contribute..

if you haven't voted yet on the polls, could you take a moment for a nook's edification?

she's still got a few spots open -- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18316230

there's a $5 background spot, a few $10-20 ones, a couple of $25-30 bits,
and two $50 couples spots with two characters more or less in the foreground, dancing and such.

1: growth type [weight gain, macro, breast/booty expansion]
http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?.....b00f0329a3cb7c
(I goofed up the first version of this -- it was supposed to allow multiple responses per vote.
there are 2 votes on the original poll for weight-gain, which I'll tally in with whatever the revamped poll gets.) <3

http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?.....b00f0329a3cb45

thanks for taking the time to read and respond!

they are in kind of a nasty home situation and really really really need to move out from parents' place.

they're doing a WG drive to try to get the monies to get out of said situation.
