Ezra's pointless thread.

You know what they say: Google is your friend!

I've never taken care of a dwarf bunny---nor any bunny, for that matter. When I had a bird as a kid, I sucked at taking care of it.

I'd be shocked, actually, if you've ever had a box of Crackerjacks. I haven't had one of those in years!

"Poems, everyone! The laddy reckons himself a poet!"

I've eaten lots of boxes of crackerjacks.

Man....you're an archaic kid! LOL

I think of crackerjacks as something from a bygone era (though I've had them a few times).

There was this guy, in the 18th century, named Thomas Chatterton. He enjoyed writing things in medieval-type English; he was thought of as sort of a nut in his own time, but is revered now as a child-prodigy eccentric.

They're not a rare item that I know of.
My parents actually buy the stuff.
Although I might have bought some at 7 11.

I'm thinking if I got a rabbit I would get bored of it eventually and then be stuck with it or have to resell it. Sometimes having isn't as nifty as wanting.

I have this stupid heart condition that's bugging the hell out of me. Flip flop quiver thud slight stabbing sensation. Should I get it checked?

Just kidding it's been thoroughly checked and it's benign. But still it's annoying and can't help but have the what if it turns into a heart attack? fear sometimes. I'm totally cutting out caffeine. This thing has spells that come and go. Usually is chronic for a week or two and then much less frequent for months.

"When Heart Palpitations Are Benign. ... The most benign and most common occur when the heart contracts prematurely. This causes a slight delay in the next heartbeat, which is felt as a "flip-flop" or skipped beat."

Do you still get a prize in your crackerjack box?

Sometimes, little boys used to give little girls rings from crackerjack boxes as a way to prove their "love."

I like the original Star Trek the best, too. It was on evening TV from 1966 to 1969----from my age 5 to my age 8. Afterwards, there were LOTS of reruns of it.

If you follow baseball, there's a song called "Take me out to the ballgame," where there's a lyric: "Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks." The song is from 1908.

In many ways, I'm one of the most "archaic" people I know.

These days it's a sticker or whatever similar made of paper. I suppose you can fold it up and make a paper ring

So it turns out the latest Pink Floyd song I've been onto is actually an ode to Donald Trump, written 39 years in advance. I lmao when I realized how well the lyrics fit.

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry

Skip to 1:09 if you want to get right to it v

I'm watching these paddleboarders way out in the sound. The water must be pretty cold that far out. And it's 90% nighttime.

Speaking of rabbits, I used to have one. His name was Master & Commander because he thought he owned my apartment (I let him have free rein). He chewed the wood on door entrances, destroyed my easy chair and pooped in it, jumped up on my bed to sleep but often peed on it, chewed the wires beneath my computer desk, and only occasionally used his own potty pan. Boring? Nah. That mother*cker kept me busy as hell!

Dang, it seems like I've killed a perfectly good thread.

Ezra, maybe you could update us with how you've been doing lately?
