For a long time I thought Yonick and Cloth Frog were the same person. I haven't seen either of those guys on here in a long time.
 
Watch “Containment”
Watch “Pandemic”
Watch “Outbreak”

Day drink
Sleep in
Don’t shave
Stay (half) naked all day
Order take out lest you waste the frozen/canned food you’ve hoarded over the last couple weeks
Make hand sanitizer out of everclear and aloe vera
Poop and rinse your in the shower to save toilet paper

I never thought Fishy was Chief. But I did always think he may have been Dr. Dos.

Went way back for that one. Sorry, young Yarders.

People are very often of the “that could never happen to me” variety. So when disaster strikes, people turn on these flicks to relate to a protagonist (a protagonist who is shown in the first 15-20 minutes to be an aloof, “that could never happen to me” ordinary joe) and watch as that character calmly and coolly escapes certain death/rescues their family (even the dog!)/emerges on the other side victorious and changed for the better (usually with a new, gorgeous love interest to boot). My guess is it’s an escape to get a glimpse of what comes out on the other side of that disaster, because thinking about the actual struggle of getting through a crisis is too difficult for a lot of people. When watching on a screen, we all get to be Matt Damon, and he always comes away from it all unscathed right?!

I agree though, it’s like rubbing salt in your own wound...or wearing a bad toupee (sometimes simply referred to as “a toupee”).

[Yikes, an essay on humanity’s penchant for disaster films...how much longer do we need to isolate ourselves?]

Read some David Balducci books, they are awesome!

Met him at Smith Valley Lake, great guy, before I knew about his success, and we talked about John D McDonald and Travis McGee series. Little did I know that he has several books under a character umbrella.

I could use a new book to pass the time in this Bouk-less world where we’re currently living. Which of his books would you recommend as a good starting point?

I would rec the camel club,5 books (camel club first book) If you want more instant action then will go Will Robbie series ( the innocent).

he is awesome, much better than j d McDonnell
 
Good list.

I've got tons of Booze. And I'm consuming it.
It was definitely Maryann.
The SI swimsuit stuff is all online

I've been working at home every day. Why, I'm not sure since I've probably lost 2-3 years worth of after tax annual salary in the market in two weeks. Guess I won't be retiring when I expected.

Haven't finished my taxes yet.

Yesterday I installed a dishwasher. This morning we turned it on and flooded the kitchen. So, back to the drawing board on that.

Playing Witcher 3 on XBox and watching movies/shows. Thumbs up for McMillions so far.
 
10, 4, and 2 are done.

Wife saw me changing this morning and realized I was commando in the gym shorts. She was incredulous. Then I told her only time I've worn underwear since Monday was when I played golf Tuesday afternoon. She absolutely did not get my state of mind.

I absolutely hate installing dishwashers. Complete pain in the ass for the under the counter (which is like almost all of them) getting the feet leveled off, hoses routed without loosening them or kinking them

Got to have a Letterman Top Ten in here. Plus, who doesn't have time to learn some new yoyo tricks.

 
I been working on a new shoulder-mounted turret that automatically blasts Lysol at anyone who coughs, sneezes, or emits mouth droplets of any kind within six feet of you.

The Big Lysol Turret 9000 is defined for epidemics and flu season, though many who are fearful of germs and disease can use the product year-round, just in case.
