Do you feel more like a cow now?

Reporting from Earth for 3 score and two years now....

Mork calling Orsen , Mork calling Orsen,

They live among us these freaks of nature for whom we have no real explanation for. Some play beautiful instruments, some are genius mathematicians and other are fine physical specimens and dominate our sports for the entire generation.

Then there's this guy. Read on.

Five interesting scary stupid and annoying things

1. There is a story in the news this morning I laughed at pretty good. Not to laugh at stupid people in ignorant circumstances, however one of the men involved seemed to be a truly ignorant soul.  Some guy (I don't know the details) broke into a house. The occupants of the house heard him (The wife heard him), wakes up her husband who is a  championship caliber MMA  FIGHTER, and tells him to go find out what the hell with the guy yelling loudly downstairs is all about.
   
   Dutifully, MMA husband goes downstairs while wife and children shelter in a spare bedroom and call the police. All hell breaks loose, and in the ensuing fight , elbows , knuckles, knees and fists are employed in spurious fashion and the guy just keeps coming back for more. He gets the holy crap beat out of him and finally the MMA Fighters mother in law hands him a butcher knife, the guy is subdued, cops arrive, arrest the guy, who by the way is an absolute bloody mess. As he is being led away he looks at the MMA fighter dude and says "Sorry Man."
   
   Some kinds of drugs are bad for you said Mr. Mackie . mmm-kay.
2. We bought a Subaru Forester about one year ago, its a 2019 model. I researched it on a lot of places and looked it up and read about it on Consumer reports among other places. Its rated very highly in every category. Safety, Resale value, Crash Survivorship , and a few other characteristics are all number one and depending upon whom, you believe it is rated as the number one vehicle in North America. A very close second is the Toyota RAV4 , which my daughter bought for herself.
   
   The only thing is the liftgate on the back. That damn thing has a mind of its own. I've read the owners manual, asked Subaru about it, read about it online and researched it just about every way possible. I cannot predict when its going to open if you use either of two key fobs or the button on the interior. Its seems to have programming which rewrites itself on the fly. Its sorta maddening, however we are nothing if not adaptable, so we just scurry our little fatasses out of the car and hit the button on the outside to open it for now. I have to remember to mention this to my wife the next time she takes it in for service, to have this inspected for spectral alliances.
3. Did you hear that the Prime Minister of England, Boris Johnson, is hospitalized in the ICU in a hospital in England? He is in critical condition , is very ill and just might not make it. I don't know much about the guy except to say he was a major player in Brexit and a lot of folks don't like him. I would not wish this crap on my worst enemy. Hope he recovers, as no one deserves to die like this shit kills you.
   
   The situation is bad enough, that the Queen herself gave an address to the nation yesterday, which BTW, almost never happens anymore. Not that you care, I just found it to be telling. At first, they did decline to treat anyone thinking it would just run its course and naturally immunize everyone in the country. Changed their tune limey-quick on that one i'll tell ya.
4. I live in a small county of  maybe 40K people? We were discussing the other day that maybe we should see about moving to a cave or a big ass tent for the duration. Can you get away from this shit? Probably not. I'm trying to be very careful because I am the target demographic for the poor bastards who die from this nightmare.
5. I just read one of the great quotes of all times. Read it for your self on Instagram on the profile of @SteveWinterPhoto . In talking about the practice of the Chinese and other people buying meats from so called "wet markets", and then cooking Tigers and Lions and etc, with the object being to somehow inherit the strength or characteristics of the animal being eaten.
   
    He said something like "Don't eat Exotic meats and products made from exotic animals. Do you somehow feel more like a cow when you eat a cheeseburger?".

I can't beat that, I'm out.
