IF THERE'S NO RSS, IT'S NOT A PODCAST

i mean put yourself in the clowns shoes (ha). what if you met somebody who had your face on their t-shirt?

what if you had somebody's face on your t-shirt and then you met them in real life While You Were Wearing That Shirt

i saw two clowns walking down the street---at least, i saw two people in full clown costume, they might have just been COSPLAYING clowns---and then a block down i saw a guy wearing a t-shirt with a clown face on it. obviously just a really big fan

i was like, oh boy. i bet neither party knows about the other... this could really make somebody's day if they met.

nonetheless i stopped by the gift shop and considered getting 5 - 7 page-a-day calendars just for page maxing. imagine doing an entire week's worth of pages in a single day like a complete alpha
turns out one was vocabulary word of the day, and the other was the far side. so it ended up being kind of forgivable. dude's doing some self-improvement, and then just gets a little palette cleansing absurdist humor, as a treat
walked past coworker's desk and saw they have TWO page-a-day calendars, absolutely blew my mind. one day? one page. that's the economy.
I'm afraid of people finding out that I don't actually have imposter syndrome
people who start a game jam on itch obviously just to promote their special new game, and to crowdsource creating new content for it, but don't offer any community copies or anything for the jammers.. get a side eye and an eye roll from me. all kinds of eye activity.

me, speaking in front of the judge, my client's life depends on this: Your honor the prosecution's argument isn't just poppycock, it's....

me, thinking of "bull" and "malarkey" at the same time: ...it's bukake!

(this literally almost happened to me just now in a meeting)

@diesch @jpmens @gumnos About those excellent venerable Unix tools, still used nowadays, what @dozens generated with recutils, groff or PIC is really to be mentioned (imho):
- "writing code for making music", article at https://chrismanbrown.gitlab.io/57.html
- "Choose Your Own Adventure with recutils, graphviz, and groff " + "docxtbls" + "groff tables", video #format at https://tube.tchncs.de/c/dozenstube/videos
(Addendum: and with refer and lookbib, managing my references is still possible & powerfull, with text #format only.)
