    He reminds me of this scene from “Ruthless People”:

    So, will this end with a 16 ton weight crushing him and removing him permanently from the comic?

    Time to get a Restraining order Ruth, maybe also talk Sarah into getting one too.

    I’m kind of wondering if Terrence knows what words mean, or if he just randomly chooses words to insult people. Sarah’s behavior could be described many ways, but “nosey” isn’t really one of them.

      Frankly, none of the rest of the insult applies either. It sounds to me like he hit on her and she rejected him, that sounds like usual sort of dudebro projection.

    With respect to all; while it’s a very hateful thing for him to describe her as, Sarah has been a canonically promiscuous character, so “half-the-town” is mere hyperbole. Whether or not she practiced safe sex with all her lovers remains to be seen.

    Then again, if I recall, Ruth is ACE so that might not be an issue for her at all: perhaps they’ve only cuddled or gone on dates

      I’m not really sure why you’re trying to justify a line literally written to be something only a hateful, awful person would say

An Eventful Weekend...
17 June 2025 - Traegorn
So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.

Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.

Honestly it was an amazing day.

Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.

My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.

And no one can stop me from spinning.

I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.

That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.
