    I suppose an artistic skill such as painting. I’ve got a good voice with a wide vocal range and I play several instruments well enough. I like receiving royalties from the work I’ve done and want to continue when I record my own music. Maybe something firearms-related. Be an expert shot or something. I wouldn’t wish to use that skill for profit, though.

    Speaking of, I’m having a time narrowing the songs I’ll cover down. I don’t want to do more than one from each band I cover, so It trying to choose between:

    this one, this one, and this one for a Reverend Bizarre cover. I already have some definite choices selected for other bands.

    What if Eugene Stoner or Mikhail Kalashnikov held patents and got a $10 royalty for reach rifle.


    What about poor Rollin White?

    "White left Colt's in December 1854, within three months he had five patents, including Patent 12648 which was for an "Improvement in Repeating Fire-arms".[4][5] The next year, White signed an agreement granting Smith & Wesson the exclusive use of his patent for boring through the chambers, but not the rest of the patent. White retained a royalty rate of 25 cents for every revolver.[6]

    Smith & Wesson parlayed the bored-through claim into a monopoly on the breech-loading revolver. After the Smith & Wesson Model 1 revolver came on the market, White began production of a revolver of his own in 1861 in a factory in Lowell, Massachusetts called "Rollin White Arms Company". Approximately 4300 revolvers were made under Rollin White Arms, most of which were sold to Smith & Wesson to keep up with demand." ...

    And I'm not even trying to be sexy, but bf says he'd rather just watch. As soon as I get home from wherever, I strip off everything anyway so it's not like he hasn't seen everything already.

    This time of the year he is probably preoccupied daydreaming of the Muy Grande, right down the road in Freer.

    I played guitar in a death metal band. Don’t think my family wants to hear that.

    Anybody want some two-way radios? For themselves, for their kids to play with, etc.? There’s an equestrian center in another state my employer owns. They used to use the little blister pack FRS radios, but after a while decided they didn’t want everyone flipping through 22 channels and 121 DPL tones, so they got the little 16 channel BaoFeng BF-888s like we use here. But they still can’t talk all the way across the property, and since they can operate under the same license we do, they want a repeater. So I have to fly out tomorrow to set that up for them. They told me to do whatever I want with the old radios. They’re mostly Midland GXT-325s… 22 channel, license by rule, so you don’t need to buy a license to use them. Should be one charger for every two radios, or you can use four AA batteries. I don’t want them, and I don’t want to have to store and inventory them.

    Sometimes when I'm camming and it's slow, I look at local craigslist ads. This one caught my attention:


    "Attention Sex workers: Are Unhappy Working in the Industry??


    I am hosting a get together beginning this week to discuss thoughts about the topic of success in life beyond the sex industry. Are you struggling to get ahead or a person with input you would like to share???? If you would like to discuss your point of view and receive valuable feedback than stop by my address this Sunday at 7 pm...I am on the bus route. I am asking for a 5$ donation from each guest. I would love to see you then!!! Call me to get my address..Have a great day!!"


    Out of curiosity I responded to the ad, using a temporary, disposable guerrilla mail email. I wanted to see what the motive behind such a post is. It's some dude who owns a used car lot in the area. It sounds to me like he just wants to hold a meet and greet of (only female) sex workers since when I responded, he specified "female only" at his home so he can meet different providers, while profiting from it in the process. He asked for a full body picture and face picture for "safety reasons". I didn't bother responding after that request. Is he a serial killer who plans to commit mass murder of sex workers or just some old, horny creep hoping to score sex? Regardless I do not think that this guy has good intentions and that's odd to invite female strangers, sex workers specifically, to your home and charge $5 donation for admission. I flagged the ad on all 7 of my electronic devices because I'm hoping no poor naive soul actually falls for this.

    Maybe he has a tie in to the used car lot planned.

    Every year in anticipation of the annual Christmas parade, the question of having someone dressed up as Santa comes up. Well, of course not - they only allow the grand marshall of the parade to appear as Santa.

    Looking through the parade guidelines, I did notice something… nothing I read in there seemed to exclude the inclusion of Krampus. So why not? Have someone on our float dressed as Krampus, maybe grab a kid from the crowd every once in a while and beat them with reeds.

    When I pitched that idea, they just told me I must have no maternal instincts, whatsoever.

    Ok, which online video game or LARPing event did they meet on? The only thing I'm jealous about is that she has 4 men to help her out with buying baby stuff and raising the baby, while I don't even have 1.

    Guys like that are so common. When I was a newbie baby stripper (like literally less than one day into it) I wondered why the bouncers at my first club were so aggressive about chasing away creepy guys that would hang around the parking lot of the strip bar. NOW I totally understand.

    I'd like to humble brag that I have not put the tree up yet, due to just finding other things to do.

    edit to add- recently I read that about 40 percent of marriage proposals happen during the holiday season (makes sense, both for social reasons and tax/recordkeeping reasons)...Here's wishing luck to people who want that in their lives.

    They would have to be quick to get it done before the end of the year.

    Could it be the result of more drunkenness during the holidays?
