strange but true (also microyog)

a: i am a professional sub so most of my pens are RED (as in "3/10 see me")
b: my life is a precession of to-do lists
c: lists i write in BLUE or BLACK get quicker and better execution than lists in red

discussion points arising from yesterday's birthday lunch

i: badgers are SO NOT a kind of pig so-called "dr" v!ck
ii: the famous botulism picnic which ma and pa s enjoyed frightened small dubdobdee and his smaller sister -- the picnickers found dead with tainted sandwiches still raised to their mouth -- was NOT actually a picnic (it was at the loch maree hotel in 1922) and the first death didn't occur till the following day --> still EIGHT salmon fishermen* did die, basically of eating bad tinned duck pate, and botulism does cause paralysis, which is :( in itself as well as ---:0 for discovering yr mum and dad when young told their kids GIANT WHOPPERS to amuse themselves

*i wonder if this is the part that caused the picnic bit of the meme to arise
