Here’s a band concept for you.

“Castle Rat is a Medieval Fantasy Doom Metal band led by the Rat Queen on a mission to expand and defend ‘The Realm’ from those who seek to destroy it.”

I think there needs to be a comma in there. “Medieval Fantasy Doom, Metal.” Sounds more NWOBHM to me. Something to be played over an AD&D 1E session.

A while back @IamMrsGeek got me a huge stack of post-its to help me with some organization tasks. Was going to use them for a thing today.

I have no idea where I put them.

Had to go to three shipping places and ended up spending double what I’d budgeted (brain-soft moment and I let UPS upsell me), but keyboards are shipped!

Now to give everybody their tracking numbers.

Me: sure would be nice to get recruiter email for my job search.

A copy-and-pasted excerpt of today’s email from Monkey’s Paw Recruiters LLC:

“Req skills: Java AND SQL AND Oracle AND Perl (Make sure you hands on these perticular skills).

“revert me with the skills updated in your resume, and also let me know your expected pay for the position ?”

@IamMrsGeek Like

I’m no language perscriptivist

but your standards need to have a floor at least

@IamMrsGeek but hey at least we can be reasonably sure a human wrote it.

A chatbot would have better grammar.

She ordered five bananas.

She thought she ordered five bananas.

There was a “5” anyways.

Shopper never thought to double-check, just “gosh they must be really low on potassium.”

Meanwhile Bouncy Dog the Banana Hound couldn’t be more thrilled.

She, a UFC enjoyer: “Brutal. Look at this.”

Me, uhhh — not: “ow ow OW! Why are they doing that? That’s just rude.”

Sometimes I make a commit message that’s somehow both specific and vague.

“We recognize simple children”

and also

phrasing

At least it’s supportive.

I think I’ll have a banana.
