Pumpkin Oppression!

Am I the only bastard in the country who doesn't love pumpkin spice stuff? I swear everything is pumpkin spice right now, and none of it is good. Cheerios? Popcorn?

I ate a pumpkin flavored cupcake that came into work today, and wasn't impressed, and my co-worker seemed nigh on incensed that I didn't LOVE it. I heard him talking to someone else, badmouthing me for not liking the damn pumpkins. Is there a law I don't know about?

Dunesteef Episode 196: We Eat The Hearts That Come For You by Jason Sanford

New Dunesteef episode up! We bring a wonderful story by Jason Sanford called "We Eat The Hearts That Come For You"

Alright, if you want to check out this episode, go listen to it on the main Dunesteef podcast feed—(EDIT: Now that the feed is gone, the only way to hear the show is over on the Dunesteef Podcast YouTube page, which I am embedding below).

Me Fail English? That's Un-possible!

This will probably come up in the next Anklecast, but my kids' high school flooded out when Harvey hit. They are attending a different high school all year long. Because of the change of venue, a lot of things are different than usual. They do a thing called College Room, where you go and get info about colleges, applications, scholarships and so forth. They sent out a flyer about the new location of the College Room, and here is what it says:

Fall hours and locations: Tuesday's from 6:30-8:30 at First Presbyterian Church.
Wednesday's from 9-10:30am at Second Baptist Church.

Now, I don't know if it was a student of the school that made the flyer or a teacher or a parent, but it seems pretty sad that the flyer about college is made by someone who doesn't even know how to pluralize a word. I hope it was made by a student that will be taking advantage of these services to get themselves a better education. Then again, college isn't the place to be learning basic English elements. I think you're supposed to show up there already knowing those things, but college does seem to have regressed quite a bit since I went there almost 20 years ago. Good luck class of 2018.

Overflow?

I found myself at the local Lowe's Home Improvement store this Saturday with a need to use the restroom. So, I left the garden department in search of one. It only took a moment to find the giant-sized sign pointing me to it.

So, as you can see in the picture, the sign has an arrow pointing you down a certain aisle toward los baños. You can see in the picture what aisle it directs you toward, but if you can't tell from the first picture, here's a close up of the aisle:

Yeah, the sign tells people in search of the bathroom to head down the toilet aisle to get to it. How many people got to that aisle and thought they were already there? Maybe they complained that this store was so cheap they couldn't even bother to put up stalls? Maybe the toilets used to be on the ground level, but people kept unloading turds into them and they had to move them higher to avoid that? Or maybe this is just the overflow for the actual bathrooms whose entrance was at the end of the aisle? You know, if all the stalls in the bathroom are full, you can do your business out here?

Anyway, I thought it was funny.

Anklecast 35: Hijinks With Harvey

It turns out he's not dead. He is a lazy, worthless douche though. Simply the worst.

Now that we've gotten that off our chest, here he finally is with a new episode of the Anklecast. Big Anklevich talks about his experience weathering the storm named Harvey. Wait, he's a Harvey survivor? Now I have guilt for calling him a douche. I shouldn't have done that.

Oh, wait, he didn't have any real problems from Harvey? Oh good, forget it, he's a douche.

Emergency Cat Response Team

Saw this truck in front of me while out driving. Sorry, the picture's kind of bad, that label on the truck says: EMERGENCY CAT RESPONSE TEAM. I know people love their cats and all, but this seems like a bit much.
