Perusing the thrift shops when I come across a coffee mug and I have a flash of inspiration...
It's not just a coffee mug, why, it's not a coffee mug at all!
It's an engagement ring!!! That also holds coffee....
Function and beauty...much better than the old engagement rings that merely advertised vulgar bad taste, why, add a few rhinestones and a Starbucks card and you've got a wedding that I could afford...
Deposit Slip Swatting

I remembered this the other day, a conversation about banks and deposit slips, and I remembered how when I was young a friend of mine and I would pop over to the local bank and while making our own withdrawals or deposits would fill in the back of the deposit slips with notes like "This is a stickup. This is not a joke. Put the money into a bag..." or some such, return the deposit slips to the unused pile, and laugh and joke and imagine what would happen if somehow one suddenly slipped past, a customer didn't check the back of a slip...
...and one day it did happen, our bank, surrounded, they determined it to be a "hoax" but we got wise, stopped doing it, it was a lot less funny when there was a chance someone might get hurt...

Apparently the next big thing, a movie apparently even better - or worse - than "The Room". I didn't know there was a competition, this is not the kind of stuff you can "plan", it just happens, I'll have to go with my son...

Saw with the Daughter. We lasted an hour, googled the ending, meh. I thought we were going to see "Hereditary", which looks good, but I was confused by the recent publicity "Uncrazy" had gotten, "IPhone 7...bleah bleah bleah" for "Scary as shit horror". My bad. The ending, as it turned out, was entirely predictable (as per Google) and so our time was better spent at the Sushi Bar.
