Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
Did you read these as a child?
I’d never heard of the the books but apparently they released a 30th anniversary edition with much tamer artwork. There’s a petition to keep the originals.
At first I was all: BOO! Don’t be messing with people’s childhoods…
Then I googled the original artwork and it was all: BOO! I’m messing with people’s childhoods!...

beefranck replied to your post: Bodies. They make sense. I could totally nag you about this if you like. Nagging is one of the many services I provide.
I need nagging like I need a salty sn— like I need a glass of wat—.
I’m enjoying being nag free at the moment, thanks.
Bodies. They make sense.

Eat salty snack.

80s TV is dated.
My memory of watching the Robin Of Sherwood TV series with it’s ‘gritty, authentic production design’ equated it to watching Game Of Thrones.
Now I’m watching it again, not so much. It’s still good, just very ’80s’.
I appear to be awake.
I use the term ‘appear’ loosely.

Truthful Tuesday: I HATE CATS.
OK, no I don’t. Although I do have a hard(er) time with cats than dogs.
So far in life I have lived with a total of five cats and four dogs (plus several short term foster dogs) and while I have no real issue with any* animal, I’ve only had direct extended experience with those dogs, cats, and a few fish. Fish are a very ‘hands off’ experience so I’m going to...

do-over answered your question: beefranck replied to your post: do-over replied to… It says - and I quote - “spdracerx asked: You should record a video of yourself singing the Oscar Mayer weiner song.” VIDEO OF YOURSELF
Are you suggesting that my post was of less value than a video? It was five times the vocal effort! A multitracked video of that would take me forever.
