Trash Pandas [DOT 21/3/20]

21/3/20 MegMegMcGee 18

As you know, you should be staying the eff inside these days.
However, my brother had to evict his upstairs roommate today:

The evicted…
…in his new home

What a jerk landlord!
Besides working from home and watching the goings on in my own backyard, this was the most entertaining thing that happened today.
Apparently some other shit went down as well:

  1. Huck should stick that used cobb into his giant pie hole and shut the fuck up.

    Like most GOPers and Faux Newzer types who said this wasn’t going to be a big fucking deal. Now it’s a really big fucking deal and they still won’t shut the fuck up.

  2. As for raccoons, your brother took care of it the smart/humane way.

    Unlike some penile challenged overt racist shithead congress moron from Iowa (Steve King) did several years ago who claimed to have blown away a raccoon with a Desert Eagle auto pistol (doesn’t matter whether it is a .357/.44 mag or the really stupid .50, it goes to show what a fucking chickenshit dunce he is)

  3. i went for a little walkabout to go stretch me legs and see how dead towncentre is (we arent quite locked down yet..just told to keep our distance from eachother)
    seemed pretty dead.. till i found the farmers market
    that seems ill advised….
    decided to nope away from that one

      • lol yep… thankfully the supermarket is mostly back to normal where i am..other than marked lines on the floor by the checkouts about 5 ft apart from eachother
        cross the line when someones infront of you and the grumpy old store manager gives you a deathglare and bristles his moustache at you…
        *got a deathglare and moustache bristle*… never even noticed the lines lol

        • My store is not even close to back to normal. One thing that I noticed that really aggravated me when I went there this morning is that they have no signs telling people they can only by a limited number of certain items. But they damned sure had signs informing us of price hikes from suppliers due to all the panic buying. So, still lots of empty shelves because people are fucking asshole morons.

      • Can confirm!
        The grocery store has slowed down *a bit* (carts are now “normal weekend”-full, NOT “The Day Before Thanksgiving/Christmas, and WE are hosting!”-full), but there are STILL a crap-ton of folks out shopping.

  4. Mrs. Butcher and I watched A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood last night. It was a little surreal, but very well written and acted. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it. As an adult, I can certainly appreciate what Fred Rogers was doing and how he was doing it. However, as a little kid, his show made me absolutely crazy. I was watching someone tell me that expressing my feelings was a good thing, and that he liked me just the way I am, and all manner of other things that I knew were absolutely not true. Plus, his signing sucked. I felt like he was telling me that reality (to a 7-year old) was not reality, and that what he was saying was somehow true even though I knew it wasn’t. Like I said, it made me crazy watching him, but there were only four channels and my brother ran the TV.

    But, Fred was right. It just took me another 20-something years to learn.

    It’s a beautiful day in my neighborhood. I think Mrs. Butcher and I will take our do for a walk.

  5. I’m trying to stay grateful, even if it’s over some little things.

    Mostly, I’m glad to be single and childless right now. I can’t imagine how hard I would implode if I had to deal with my work place’s tomfoolery, trying to coordinate with a spouse, and trying to figure out what to do with my children now that they’re out of school for a month. So good on any of you in that situation who are making it work, somehow.

    A lot of my co-workers were remote to begin with and the company is experienced with mobilizing people to be remote in a hurry. For those of us not set up for remote work, we have to work a new shift in the building and the building closes at five. It’s not that they’re sanitizing the place every day afterward but they decided how it’s going to be and told us on short notice. We probably won’t be shut down, if a shut down ever comes, but if we are it’s a big ??? as to how we’re paid. It’s a win-win for my company, and others, if they make us use all of our PTO (which is also combined sick time!) so that no one can take a day off without being admonished if/when things return to normal and we need to play catch up.

  6. Racoons are a trip. I got a call from a neighbor that lived alone & she was freaking out yelling “I can’t get out my front door, the racoons are going crazy!”. I went out and a whole racoon family was in a cherry tree getting drunk on the fermented cherries that never fell out of the tree. I had to throw rocks to get them to leave so she could get out her door, they were belligerent. Then I watch this and feel bad for the little bastards.
