No Carlos this week because, to be honest, we’ve had a rough go of it for a hot minute.

Every so often I get what I call The Blahs—yes, it’s a mild depression, but it feels very Blah so that’s what I call it—and this week it came on and I was … Blah. Carlos does not understand The Blahs and so he, who is usually quite concerned and caring, will say things like:

“Get over it.”

And that never helps and really only seems to make The Blahs worse, so we had words … not so Blah words, and so this week I have no Funny Carlos, but I do have a Why Do I say Things about me.

A while back I posed pictures of an old building in downtown Camden that was being renovated and will become a restaurant below and apartments above. But in the renovation, where they removed some 60’s granite to reveal the hundred-plus-year-old brick façade, they also uncovered another building. Yes, part of this old bank building also had a small, about ten-foot-wide second building with a carved sign out front calling it The Brick.

So the whole town was buzzing about The Brick and what it was and why it was covered up and at work one day I wandered into just that conversation and was asked what I thought it was and I said:

“Sounds like a kill room, and I need a new one.”

And the room went silent. It appears I can also kill a conversation just about anywhere.

Can anyone explain why the GOP continues to line up behind Walker and Oz? Are they so desperate for a win that they will support anyone???

I was at the store earlier this week and a man with a service dog was in front of me. In front of him was a lady who had about $200 worth of toilet paper in her cart, no doubt preparing for Hurricane Ian’s arrival in South Carolina.

She turned and asked the guy what kind of dog he had, and he said it was a service dog. She got a little pissy:

“I know, but what type of service?”

“He’s a BLD.”

By now, she had bent down and the dog was licking her face and hands and she said:

“What’s a BLD?”

“A Butt Licking Dog.

“A Butt Licking Dog?”

“Yeah, he’s been trained to lick my butt clean because I can't seem to be able to find toilet paper because of hoarders.”

Hey, it could have happened.

Asshat tech billionaire Elon Musk kinda pissed off Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, after he Tweeted what he said Ukraine 'neutral' in the war so that maybe fewer people die, and Melnyk Tweeted to Musk:

“Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you. The only outcome is that now no Ukrainian will EVER buy your fucking tesla crap. So good luck to you.”

Musk telling Ukraine to remain neutral when they were the ones attacked is the height of ignorance. Elon Musk may have a lot of coins, but he’s an idiot.

I saw this picture of Governor Ron DeSantis “aiding” in the cleanup effort on Florida and all I could think, or Tweet, was:

“♫♪ These boots are made for stunting♪♫”

Cuz they are.

PS Rumor has it that his wife wears the pants in the family, so it's no surprise he gets the Go-Go boots.

This is gonna get juicy … Marjorie Taylor Greene’s husband, Perry, has moved to withdraw a motion seeking to seal documents in their ongoing divorce case, meaning the matter could remain public.

Sounds like Perry Greene wants the world to know all about Large Marge and her wandering vagina and maybe some of her not-quite-legal uses of campaign funds.

And just before the midterms.

Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott actually tried to justify Thing 45’s racist Truth Social post from last week in which the Thing said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had a “DEATH WISH” and called his former transportation secretary Elaine Chao “Coco Chow.” He flailed about after being asked to explain that and then spat out:

“As you know, the president likes to give people nicknames. You can ask him how he came up with the nickname. I’m sure he has a nickname for me.”

My money’s on Medicare Defrauding Pandering Lying Fuck.

It appears Russia’s beleaguered enlistment officers are growing exceedingly desperate to get men to stop fleeing the country and join the military, so this week they are offering an enticement:

Offering their families fresh fish.

The local chief of Putin’s ruling party, Mikhail Shuvalov, promised comrades in the far-eastern Sakhalin island 5kg of flounder, pollock and salmon in exchange for sending their men to a war believed to have already killed 50,000 Russian soldiers.

Russia takes your husband, possibly off to die, and you get fresh fish.

I love me some Anne Rice, though I wasn’t a fan of the original Interview with the Vampire  film … Tom Cruise. But this latest version on AMC starring Sam Reid as Lestat, left, and Jacob Anderson as Louis, right, has me wondering: Which One Would You Hit? Or … Which One Would You Let Suck Your … Blood?
