    Wrapped in what? There's nothing wrapping that thing. The poor guy looks like he's got a goitre problem.

    That's the thing that struck me first, but then I see an awful lot of animal junk, sometimes even being used. Horses are the worst in that respect. Some men are called horse hung for a reason.

    Yes, and these same guys should be sharing the inches. It’s just greedy to have a Hampton that long.

    Left the doctor's office this morning, driving alone, and was three miles down the highway before I remembered I was still wearing my mask. 'New normal', my ass.

    I do that alllll the time. Other things masks have made me do, mainly because i have to wear them for 8 to 10 hours straight at work:

    1. Glasses out, contact lens in to deal with the fogging.
    2. No more ties... i cant breathe with both my mouth and neck restricted.
    3. Lots more straw usage so I can crack the mask to take a quick sip instead of removing it to accomodate the brim of the drinking vessel.
    4. An added step when I do the pocket check as I move between locations: wallet, keys, phone, smokes, lighter... and a mask!

    There should be a "Rage" thread, lol. "Not Happy" seems too tame.

    I am quietly simmering behind my mask, fighting the urge to become this lil guy :supermad:

    I'm right there with you, @J.T. Woody. I think I just need to scream really loudly for as long as I can.

    and I hate that feeling when you hold in the rage-scream and you get all hot and sweaty. Good thing I'm wearing black, because I've got the rage-sweats

    I wrote about 2000 words today.

    Unfortunately for my creative side they were all basic freshman EFL composition instructions, including about 1100 words on "Common Mistakes."

    End every sentence with a period.

    No spaces before periods or commas, one space after.

    Don't start with "And," "So," "But," or "Or."

    Make sure every sentence has a verb in it.

    But, what if I want to end my sentence with a full stop? What about Morse code? . . . - - - . . .

    I'm not happy, but I wouldn't say I'm unhappy at the moment. The good news is that I can fortunately say nothing existentially dreadful is weighing upon my mind.

    Rather, there is a small party going on downstairs (6 people) with some of my roommates and I don't really feel like socializing. An antisocial wave hit me by surprise.

    Now, usually the worst part is that I wouldn't know why. But oddly enough, the worst part is that I think I know why, and I feel ashamed of it. So I'll probably write a longer blog post about it sometime soon. I don't know how to express such things in-person, nor would I want to express such a thing anyway, and even if I did, there's never a time and place regardless.

    All that's left is either bottling it or letting it out through the semi-anonymity of the internet.

    However, I can at least say that part of me is glad this is the only thing I'm worried about right now.

    it's good to only be worried about problems that you think you can do something about fixing.

    I really don't talk about my work, but I will say that Morse code would not be the strangest way I've had an essay submitted.

    You mean to say you haven't yet encountered a student who submitted encoded text as their assignment yet?
    Converting that back from hex to ascii yields:

    Couldn't help but read your post in Nicholas Cage's voice.

    Is that you, Benjamin Franklin Gates?
