the united states of america

rip melbun

just so the aussies have some context, these days i live in Birdville, Queensland 4482

it's a landlocked state

apparently I'm in Cancun, so I've taken my top off

matttkkkk have you heard my cancun story? it's hilarious

lay it on me

sorry, my computer died in the middle of this, i think, so i went to bed! this story is not that hilarious, i was trying to be tongue in cheek

cancun

it was like, 1990. or 1991 or 1988. around there. i was 5 to 7 years old? my family flew to cancun. it was the first and only time i ever traveled out of the country with them. i remember four things about it. first, in the airport in cancun, my dad and i were pissing next to each other at urinals, which was already weird, and then i saw a big cockroach in the urinal and was startled and afraid to pee on it. second, we were walking in some street market and a big older guy kept pointing at me and calling me a bambino. as i already knew that babe ruth had an AKA "the bambino", i understood this as a sort of compliment. third, i had orange juice and i didn't think it was good. my mom said it's because they didn't put sugar in it. fourth, i threw up all over the place on a beach, and then as we were all packing up and walking off, someone new walked up to our big open space and put their beach chair right in the middle of the puke

as specific as this post is, i wouldn’t be surprised if there are elements to it that form a part of a great deal of cancun experiences ^

guys this one is blowing my mind

China Part 2

it borders bulgaria, macedonia, albania and turkey

I know. Should have labeled it “Rumelia”.

Wyoming is purple

My current jeans are gray, which probably doesn’t affect things much one way or the other

What if I was Karl Malone in gray jeans
What if I was Heathcliff it's no myth

Setting aside stateline parcels next to my fireworks tents for the abortion clinics.

There’s a growing import/export scene happening on the borders of red and states. Bargain basement prices

in this version of our future, the united states not only faces rising waters on coasts, but also a growing fog of war that conceals with its arrival rather than illuminating, approaching from the northern and southern borders with equal intensity

ALSO tornadoes that move laterally from east to west.

The key to escaping tornado is to be unpredictable in your own movements

that is actually pretty awesome. lots of details - keep an eye on roswell for a minute. and the northern lights in alaska

initial covid response?

It'll make more sense here in a couple of years.

You know, when the Missouri River changes course and begins flowing through Arkansas.

Wait, does black mean no "Jeapordy" at all? The poor dears.

They're probably so small, they mooch off one of the other surrounding markets.

Mankato, Minn., for example, is a market with one television station, an NBC affiliate.

Zanesville, Ohio, has only one station, WHIZ.

wheres that big one, northern mississippi?

Tupelo.

Relevant to the thread:

Like WGN in Chicago or WTBS in Atlanta. No network affiliation.
