…Next Up… Please Hire Me…. Please!

This is amazing timing! I just happened to see your blog pop up in new email. Welcome back, Byronic Man! I’ve been keeping my seat warm, front and center.
Oh, and pass the whipped cream.

Well done and Welcome back sir! I’ve been MIA myself from the blog-o-sphere, but if THIS doesn’t get me writing again…
May 17, 2020 at 9:14 pm
Well, then my work here is done!
May 11, 2020 at 3:57 pm
Welcome back, Byronic Man! 🙂

Thanks – I hate to use the word “back” though, in part because that implies a level of commitment I question, and because I’ve said I was back twice before to pitiful results… but I still write and it seemed silly to not post them here.

Long time, no see! Welcome back!
Am I the only one who set a goal to blog more? And then haven’t done a thing?
May 11, 2020 at 8:46 pm
HOT DIGGITY DOG.
Welcome back, B-Man.
P.S. – Do me a favor and sign my name on those Schitt’s Creek emails?
May 17, 2020 at 9:12 pm
No can do! I want all their love for myself!
Okay… fine…
May 11, 2020 at 9:21 pm
You only have 20 people to apologize to? Amateur.

You see, all we were missing was the Byronic Man to make clear the reality of quarantine. I did not realize that Schitt’s Creek is so popular in the US. You will be missing it now.
May 17, 2020 at 9:11 pm
Yeah, it took some time for Schitt’s Creek to catch on (I think it’s largely for the name), but it’s been discovered just in time for it to end

Moving is so overrated. I’ve always so good at sitting. Might explain why I’ve gained 10 pounds these past 2 months…or maybe it’s because of all the eating anything that isn’t nailed down. I’ll have to try shotgunning the whipped cream from now on though, you’ve inspired me.

When you eat from the can, you’re saving dishes! It’s efficiency, is what it is

Also, now i wanna know how did others react to your Kuberick Stare
