Meet Jimothy

Writing mid-week blog posts is the worst.

Sorry, guys! 

So I'm going to kick back and let a raccoon do today's blog work.

Say hello to Jimothy. a wild raccoon living in Seattle, Washington, United States. 

His distinctive short, round form is likely due to  short spine syndrome, an affliction that commonly occurs in dogs but can also be found in other mammals.

Such as raccoons.

Seattle resident Kiana Hall posted a video of this most unique raccoon on Instagram. Kiana named him Jimothy? Why?

"He just looked like a Jimothy to me."

Jimothy has become quite the social media sensation.  

• Jimothy holds an honorary degree from the University of Washington.
• He has received special recognition by the Seattle City Council.

Jimothy for public office? Why not?

• Blizzard Entertainment posted a tribute to Jimothy in the style of World of Warcraft
• D&D Beyond released a stat block of Jimothy for use in D&D
• A bobblehead manufacturer made available a Jimothy statuette, with proceeds donated to an animal rescue charity.
• If you search for Jimothy on Google, an animated version of the raccoon scampers across the screen.  
• Jimothy is included on Roku screensavers

Not bad for a quirky cute little raccoon from Seattle.

We're back tomorrow with the Comic Book Retro 50. What comics did a wee young Dave-El buy in July 1976?

After that it's Your Friday Video Link, Saturday is Movie Time and we'll go Star Trekking on Sunday.

But before all that...?

What the hell! It's MORE JIMOTHY! 

Y'all be good to one another and if you see Jimothy, be sure to say "hi!" 

Happy Birthday!

 

Today is June 3rd and I want to extend Happy Birthday greetings to....

....NBA star Jalen Rashon Suggs of the Orlando Magic.  Born on this date in 2001 in St. Paul, Minnesota, Jalen played for the Gonzaga Bulldogs before advancing to his pro-basketball career.

....English actor Imogen Gay Poots who was born on this date in 1989 in London.  Since she is an English actor, I of course did check to see if she has done time on Doctor Who. Alas no but she was in the 2011 remake of Fright Night which starred David Tennant.  She was also in the film Christopher and His Kind (also in 2011) which starred Matt Smith. 

...another English actor type person James Purefoy who was born on this date in 1964 in Taunton, Somerset.  Yes, I checked for Doctor Who references but came up empty.  But he was in Sex Education which starred Ncuti Gatwa so there's that.  And James will be in the Masters of the Universe movie coming out this summer.  

...former First Lady Dr. Jill Biden who was born on this day in 1951. She has a memoir coming out this week which is stirring up some PTSD back to 2024 for a lot of Democrats. 

And that is just some of the many great people who were born on June 3rd. But I think that will do it for this blog post today.

'Bye, everbody! Thanks for dropping by.

...

...

...

Wait....what? 

Who now?

Oh, crap!

...

...

...

ANDREA! 

My lovely and supportive wife Andrea!!

The very... patient wife with the wonderful sense of humor...

It's HER birthday today!!! 

No, I did NOT forget her birthday! What would make you say such a thing!! 

If I forgot her birthday, I could not be writing about now, could I?

So happy birthday, Dr. Biden...ANDREA! I meant Andrea!!

Random Thoughts

Littered about today's posts are some comic strip panels I posted to some posts back in spring 2019.

Last night, der Führer himself, Donald Trump, co-opted some prime time television to ostensibly address the nation about the war in Iran.

In full disclosure, I am writing this post the day before that speech so I may be wrong but given every single thing Li'l Donnie has ever done, I don't think I will be wrong about what he said last night.  

So Trump....

• lied.
• got angry 
• contradicted himself.
• lied some more.
• denied reality.
• blamed Joe Biden.
• threatened allies.
• claimed the war is won
• promised to keep fighting the war.
• persisted in lying.

I could go on but hell, we've lived through this moron's bullshit too long now. You know the drill.  

If Trump actually delivers an address that is calm, rational, unifying, sensible and reassuring, I will eat my hat.

• OK, step one: buy hat.
• Step two: eat hat. 

Problem: due to tariffs and war, I can't afford a hat.

Wait! Andrea has a hat.

• OK, step one: steal Andrea's hat.
• Step two: eat hat. 

Again, I fully expect my future diet will be hatless.

I have tomorrow off from work.

For Good Friday.

This is not some personal observance of a religious holiday.

It's a company holiday.

If I hear Donald Trump or one of his ilk rant and rave that Christianity is under attack, I must address that the Fortune 500 company I work for does not give us the day off for Ramadan or Yom Kippur.  

On the other hand, our firm will be shut down on the date that commerates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  

Hey, it's a day off and I'm certainly not complaining about that.

But I am pissed off at alleged Christians who try to present themselves as martyrs to a faith under siege who live in a country where businesses will close for Good Friday.

This weekend will be Easter Sunday.

I have Andrea's gift ready in the form of a small Easter basket of goodies.

Yes, she is an adult person and who expects gifts for Easter other than children looking for candy from the Easter Bunny.

Well, she does and she's already bought something for me and I had to retaliate.  

I can't let Easter be a shut out. I have to put up some kind of fight. 

That is that for this post.

We're back tomorrow for Your Friday Video Link.

Our Movie Time Post on Saturday is about a bizzare film from the 1950's that is surprisingly topical.

Until next time, remember to be good to one another.  

Stories That Shoud Be April Fool's Stories But Are Not

 So that post earlier this morning that I was dedicating the blog to the exclusive topic of actor Rachel Brosnahan? 

Yeah, I know, it was totally random and just weird.

I thought of doing some kind of strange satire piece around current real world events, politics or some other third thing.

But that's hard to do in a world with Donald Trump and his minions generating their own satire.

These are stories that should be April Fool's stories... but they're not.

TRUMP SPENDS CABINET MEETING TALKING SHARPIES

Yes, the alleged President of the United States gathered the heads of various government agencies and pontificated in detail on....

Sharpies! 

Yep, that thick marker Li'l Donnie uses to scrawl his  signature on executive orders made for a long winded discussion about how the usual White House ball point pens were too expensive and didn't work and the kids he gave them to as souvenirs didn't know what they were ("Mommy, what is this?") and how the head of the company that makes them offered to make some special for Donald Trump in black with gold lettering for $5 a pop.

Well, that was a good use of everyone's time. 

And also....

Newell Brands of Atlanta GA who manufacture Sharpies do not know what the fuck Trump is talking about. There was no conversation between Trump and anyone with the company about making special pens for der Führer.

IRAN GIVES TRUMP A PRESENT 

Der Führer claims he and his administration are in talks with Iran. 

Iran says ain't nobody talking to nobody.  

Li'l Donnie says yes they are and they gave him a present to show their good faith that they are serious about negotiatin'. 

It turns out that Iran did let a couple of oil tankers slip through the Strait of Hormuz and this is what Trump was calling "a present".

TRUMP SHOWS OFF A BALLROOM WITH NO FRONT DOOR 

While the fucking world is on fucking fire from the fucking war he fucking started, Donald Trump regaled the press on Air Force One with designs for his precious ballroom.

The New York Times poked around with the schematic drawing and well, they have questions.

The grand staircase out front does not actually lead to the entrance of the ballroom.

There are too many columns, obscuring a view of the building from  the outside and the view of anyone inside looking out.

Stairs on the side go nowhere.

It is too big and too tall. 

It's a garish monstrosity.

And Li'l Donnie is so proud of it.  

ALSO: apparently, the ballroom will be on top of a secret military complex.  Which is not a secret since Li'l Donnie blabbed about it.  

No matter how bad things can get in this world, Donald Trump will always find joy in his ballroom.

Unless...  

SIDE NOTE: a federal judge made a ruling that construction on the ballroom has to stop until Congress approves it.

Now Li'l Donnie's sad. And mad.  

VANCE SAYS ALIENS ARE DEMONS

No, I did not pull that headline from a tabloid.

It's a real thing that a real person really said.

During a podcast interview, J D Vance posited that if extraterrestrial beings really do exist, they are not from outer space.

They are demons.  

I'm not making that up. Vance said that.

You know how everyone keeps gleefully anticipating that Donald Trump is gonna die? Well, it happens, then J D Vance will be in charge.

So it would be more of a lateral move than any kind of improvement.  

KRISTI NOEM'S HUSBAND IS A CROSSDRESSER

Ok, NOW I'm making shit up, right?

Nope! It's a real story.

Seems the former head of the Department of Homeland Security was caught off guard that her hubby dresses up in women's clothes and hangs out with fetish models online.

It is so hard to come up with a good April Fool's gag in a world so full of fools.

I'm just gonna go back and admire my Rachel Brosnahan post.

All Rachel Brosnahan All the TIme

It's the beginning of a brand new month and it's also the beginning of a brand new day here at I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You.

A major challenge for this blog is a distressing lack of focus. What is this blog about? What is it's purpose?

Comic books, TV shows, politics, movies, all matter of things.

This blog can be so random. And quite frankly, I've had enough!

So that's why I've decided to dedicate this blog to one topic, one purpose, one person.

And that person is Rachel Brosnahan! 

Yes, Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman movie!

The star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Yes, that  Rachel Brosnahan! 

And I'm not talking about something lame like a post once in a while! 

NO! Every day, this blog will be dedicated to the joy, the sheer pleasure of living on the same planet as  Rachel Brosnahan! 

• MONDAY: What is Rachel wearing today?
• TUESDAY: What is Rachel having for breakfast?
• WEDNESDAY: What is Rachel watching on television?
• THURSDAY: Why is Rachel not answering my texts?
• FRIDAY: What are Rachel's plans for dinner?
• SATURDAY: What does Rachel look taking a nap?
• SUNDAY: Why do I have a restraining order from  Rachel Brosnahan? 

I will replace the Tuesday TV Touchbase with a weekly recap of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as I analyze this ground breaking series 10 minutes at a time.

Movie Time? We're gonna watch Superman every week! 

I am serious! 

• Posts about the idiot in the White House? GONE! 
• Posts about Doctor Who or Star Trek? Outta here! 
• Posts about comic books? Beat it! 

Only one thing matters. 

Only one purpose! 

 Rachel Brosnahan! 

I will need to rename the blog from I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You.

I'm thinking I'm So Glad Rachel Brosnahan Amuses You! 

Or I'm So Glad We Live In A World With Rachel Brosnahan!

Maybe I'm So Glad You Finally Realized This Is An April Fool's Day Post.

I hope you have a good and pleasant April 1st.

But seriously, Rachel Brosnahan is so seriously awesome!  

I Gotta Come Up With Something?

 BLOG BIDNESS: Did I really mean to have both a Doctor Who post AND a comic book post on the SAME day at the SAME time? 

No, I did not! 

Personally I blame the I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You Editorial Board! 

Well, I gotta fill up Thursday with something else now.

C'mon! Think! Think!  

There's always  some Donald Trump bull shit, right?

Dammit! I don't wanna go there! 

OK, let me put a pin in this fucking thing: Li'l Donnie made fun of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for having  dyslexia  and Trump said Gavin cannot be President of the United States  with a  “learning disability.”

“We have a low-IQ person, you know, because Gavin ‘Newscum’ has admitted that he is a — that he has learning disabilities,” I’m all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president. I don’t want — I think the president should not have learning disabilities.”

Given that Trump is a motherfucking 79 year old man who reads at a goddam 2nd grade level, he's fine one to talk about people with learning disabilities should not be President.

And about 20% of Americans might take issue with Li'l Donnie's perspective.  

1 in 5 people in the United States have some form of dyslexia.

I swear to Dog I did not know that. 

I guess I can cover some ground about how Donald Trump's war with Iran is just getting worse and....

Fuck it, that'll wait until Monday.

If he hasn't blown up the world by then or something.

Let me check with the blog's writers.

Nothing in there.

Hey, let's get personal.  What's going on with me?

Absolutely nothing. 

I am the least interesting person in the world. 

Why do I even have a blog?

Oh, I have lost 84 pounds since last March so there's that going for me. 

Hey, Tom Holland's back for his 4th Spider-Man movie!

Here's the trailer! 

Hey, Mark Ruffalo is back as Bruce Banner? Cool!  

So that's it! 

We're back tomorrow with Your Friday Video Link which is connected to Spongebob Squarepants.

And Saturday is Movie Timewhich is connected to Spongebob Squarepants.

And Sunday we go Star Trekking with Spongebob Squarepants....NO! With Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

Y'all be good to one another, OK?

Flight Of Fancy

The war with Iran continues and there is a lot going spawning multiple levels of concern.

Who knows where to start?

Well, I don't and I won't.  

I'll summarize my feelings on this war as best I can: 

• It shouldn't have started in the first place.
• It's creating nothing but chaos and uncertainty.
• It will not end on good terms for anybody.
• And Donald Trump is just lying about eveything.

If you seek more cogent analysis, you need to look elsewhere. 

Meanwhile, today's post is about something else.

About my own gullibility.

______________________________

About a month ago, I saw a video on Tik Tok that got my attention. A nondescript Asian gentleman in glasses and a button down shirt solemnly declared that the United States has lost a war.

With Canada.

As you know, Donald Trump has had a mad on at Canada, accusing our northern neighbor of taking advantage of the United States and Li'l Donnie was not gonna take it anymore.

He slapped punative tariffs on Canadian goods to teach them a lesson. Along with multiple insults directed at Canada to show his utter disdain for the country. 

What Li'l Donnie fails to reckon with is that the people he bullies can fight back and that was the gist of this video.

Basically the story goes is that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's government issued a directive to suspend preferential overflight rights that the United States airline industry has enjoyed for decades. 

So what this amounts to is that shortcuts that various American airlines used for international flights through Canadian airspace to save time and fuel (and therefore money) were no longer available.  Airlines would need to make longer trips, make more frequent stops and use more fuel without those shortcuts through Canada.

Basically if Trump thought he could fuck with Canada, he forgot Mark Carney could fuck with America right back.

I posted a comment: "As an American, I find myself rooting for Canada."  

Whatever it takes to put that orange fat fuck Donald J. Trump in his place, am I right?

To date, I have 37.8K likes on that comment!

But...

Why wasn't I hearing more about this story?

It seems a ballsy move like that by Mark Carney would've elicited some kind of whiny bitch session from Li'l Donnie on his moth eaten Truth Social shit show.

The video was posted by a Tik Tok account known as story.tale962 with the innocuous descriptor of providing financial analysis on daily commodities.

And all the videos have the same static shot of that nondescript Asian gentleman in glasses and always with the same button down shirt.  

Ah geez! Did I fall for some generative AI shit?  

I did some digging and found no other viable sources for the "Canada shuts down airspace to the United States" story anywhere.

I did find a write up in LinkedIn that backs up what I found, that there's no credible reporting behind this story.  

What is going on is due to Trump's negative actions and rhetoric which has decimated Canadians' desire to travel to the United States and instead maybe visit Mexico or some where else. 

Canadian airlines have addressed their falling capacity for U.S. flights by reducing the number of flights scheduled to go to the United States.

But Mark Carney and the Candadian government blocking American access to Canada's airspace? It's not a thing.

It's just a flight of fancy. 

And I fell I for some generative AI shit! 

Thursday Throwback: What Is Awesome?

I am under a lot of stress.

Work, personal stuff and the whole wild damn world!

Yeah, I'm feeling it. 

Present Day Me is not prepared to blog today so I'm gonna let Past Me take the blog out for a spin.

Hi! I'm Dave-El from the year 2014 and here's a quick little thing I put together to remind you that things are AWESOME! 

From Tuesday, February 18, 2014:   What Is Awesome?

Hey, do you know what's awesome?

Is something awesome? 

No, more than just "something" is awesome! 

So what is awesome? Could it be anything?

Technically, I suppose "anything" could be awesome. 

So what IS awesome? 

The answer is...

----------
Yep, EVERYTHING! 

Thought you should know. 

Be good to one another. 

And be awesome! 

--------------------------------------------

Back tomorrow with an ALL NEW edition of Your Friday Video Link.

We Might Be OK

 Regarding yesterday's post....

OH MY GOD!!! Was that depressing or what?

Is Andrea's dad gonna die?

Oh he's too stubborn for that.

He may well outlive us all.

Concerns about his cognitive decline seem to be a bit overstated.

Or my own cognitive abilities are declining.

He's making sense to me.

So one of us is off their rocker.

It could be him.

It may be me.

I'll have more in a future post.

But for now, in response to yesterday's pervading sense of doom...

I think we might be OK.

Kennedy Center Blues

Donald Trump announced that the Kennedy Center would be closing as of July 4th.

The closure will be for 2 years ostensibly to make renovations to the venerated venue.  

Trump said, “I’m not ripping it down. I’ll be using the steel. So we’re using the structure."  

Well, seeing what he's done for the White House East Wing, well, I'm filled with confidence.

To clarify (in case the sarcasm was not clear), I'm NOT filled with confidence. 

Trump has been bitching for years that the building had been allowed to decline into desrepair, without of course provding any specific examples of said decay.  

He even claims the dilapidation of the building is so great, it presents a danger to attendees, again avoiding any pertinent examples of said danger.

What is in danger is the Kennedy Center's reputation as a valued and venerable venue for the best of the arts.

A lot of  performers cancelling their appearances at the Center after Li'l Donnie took it over and installing a group of obsequious toadies to the Kennedy Center board.

Cancellations that escalated when the board voted to add "Donald J Trump" to the side of the building along side the name of John F. Kennedy. 

Ticket sales have gone down precipitously and those who currently hold season tickets aren't happy with what's happening to their beloved Kenendy Center.

Last week, attendees expecting to attend a classical music concert were inflicted with a showing of Melania, the slickly produced propaganda piece about the nation's most boring First Lady.  

Much like everything Trump touches, the Kennedy Center is turning into shit under der Führer's hamfisted ministrations.  

Better to shut it down under the guise of making renovations than to deal with the humiliation of the Kenndy Center spiralling downward into failure and irrelevance. 

I've been to Kennedy Center. Granted, it's been a minute. 

I was a kid on a church youth group trip to Washington D.C. back in the 1970's.  Jimmy Carter was President. 

We saw a production for Porgy and Bess.  It was my first opera and my first time going a place as opulent and important as the Kennedy Center.  

I was in awe of the vast crimson interior all lit by a canopy of lights. It was certainly impressive to this small town boy.

A wonderful memory sullied by the crass and inept mismanagement of this storied venue. 

Donald Trump likes to brag about being a builder. It seems to me his only skill is as a demolitionist. 

The Kennedy Center is just one more thing he has set out to destroy.   

Solution For Bad Weather?

Last weekend we had a crap ton of snow and ice!

This weekend, even more snow!!

Possibly more snow coming on Wednesday?!?!?!

Look, no use complaining about the weather. 

The axiom holds that there's nothing we can do about it.

Or...

Is there?

Yes, we can always sacrifice the weather person! 

We must appease the all powerful divinities if we are to ever be warm again. 

Places To Eat

My friend* Mark Evanier posted this list on his blog and I thought I would take a stab it myself.

*We are legally required to telll you that Mark Evanier is not my friend. He could be but he's not. And that makes me sad. I must bury my sadness with food. Or a blog post about food.  

It's a list of chain restaruants and as the header suggests, you give yourself a point for each place you've eaten at.

(Call me old fashioned but I still hate ending a sentence with a preposition. I know the arbiters of the English language have made their peace with it but I haven't.)  

Some of these places I have not eaten AT but I did get food FROM there....

So let's give this a go!  

Yes, I know! What the hell is BASKET Robbins? Or a StarBUCK?

Let's start with Column #1. It would be easier to list the places have not eaten at or from: Chipotle, Jack In the Box and White Castle. 

Some of these are not around here in Greensboro anymore and may in fact be dead in the water nationwide, such as Quizno's and Boston Market.  Andrea and I used to like eating at Boston Market but the one here in Greensboro died a death of a thousand cuts.  

From Column #1, we've got 11 points.

Moving on to Column #2, Greensboro got a Whattaburger a few months ago but I've yet to give it a try.  And we do not have an In & Out. 

We do have a Five Guys which I found to be overpriced and overrated. No one needs that many french fries. As for Starbucks, I ponied up to the bar once for a hot chocolate and a muffin.  

So for Column #2, that's 12 points.

For a total of 23 points.

Moving on to Column #3.  

I have not eaten at a Shake Shack, Wing Stop, Dave's Hot or Popeye's.  In the case of the latter, I do hear they have Superior fried chicken.

We used to eat at TGI Friday's but we stopped when they took Dean's favorite fish dinner off the menu. We haven't been there in nearly 10 years I think so they petulantly closed their Greensboro location and tore the building down to the ground with a different restaruant being built in it's spot. 

So that's 10 points for Column #3 for a grand total of 33 points.  

Which gets me... what? 

I think this may have been a pointless exercise.  

But now I'm hungry! 

Now if I only had an idea where to get some food....

Just A Quick Note

 Just a quick note....

That I am still here.

I survived my colonoscopy. 

I'm not sure the dancing skeleton gif is appropriate for finishing a colonoscopy but I had it on file and wanted to use it.

I will have a full report in future blog post.

Tomorrow's blog will touchbase on what's going on in the world.

It's not good. Be prepared for despair and rage.  

Speaking of touching base, the Tuesday TV Touchbase will be coming your way.

While I was prepping for my colonoscopy, I caught up on a bunch of comic books. Look for a Spinner Rack post about that.

Until next time, try to hold it together as best you can and remember to be good to one another. 

The First Banana Post of 2026

 I gotta call the first banana post for 2026!

I am super tired right now so sorry, no blog post today.

I've got posts queued up for Thursday through Saturday.

But damn, I just can't get the hang of Wednesdays.

Until next time, remember to be good to one another.

While I go take a nap....

Is 2026 Really a New Year?

Today is January 1st, 2026, New Year's Day!

Huzzah? 😕

As I look down from this pinnacle of a new day looking into a new year, I can't help feeling a sense of dread.

That everything we endured in 2025 is just an awful prologue for something even worse.

Will 2026 be 2025: Part 2: Electric Boogaloo?

I don't want to be cynical. I would like to be a more positive person.

Yes, I do believe the glass is not half empty but half full.

But I also believe the water is poisoned. 

So I am very cautious, peeking out to tentatively assess the temporal terrain of the year to come.  

Yeah, I don't like the looks of it out there.

But I guess we gotta try.

Happy New Year.... I guess?  

Remember to be good to one another. 

It's Midnight!

It's Midnight here at the Fortress of Ineptitude!

The clock has struck 12 and the year is transformed from 2025 to 2026!

It's midnight and I'm still ready to party!

Bring it on, Ryan Seacrest and the two Andys on CNN!

I'm a dancing fool and I can go all night!

Or not.

Good night everybody! And Happy New yrrmmmm-yawn.....

The Last Banana Post of 2025

 

It's the last banana post for 2025.

OK, since we're sitting here at the end of the year, it's time for look back on the year just endured.

I'll let Desi Lydic of The Daily Show do that heavy lifting.

God, I do love a hot blonde in a neck tie.

We're back tomorrow for the year end wrap up for the Tuesday TV Touchbase.

Remember to be good to one another.

The Legend of the Long Streaker

 

My wife Andrea and son Dean are both seeking to expand their knowledge with learning another language using the app called Duolingo.

Both of them have committed themselves to practicing on this app everyday, developing their understanding of Spanish.

Recently, Dean received an encouraging post from Duolingo offering kudos and congrats for staying with the program for such a length of time.

It seems to me that a language app could find a better way to comment on a long streak than to call someone a "long streaker".

I want to express my pride in my wife and son for their respective efforts to expand their language skills and their dedication to do this every day.

It is, however, NOT an excuse to run naked through the streets.

It's not the 1970's, you know.  

Journeys With Food and the End of K&W

A frequent visitor to my Tik Tok For You Page is Dylan Huynh who apparently eats food for a living.

Nice gig, if you can get it.  

He posts videos on trying various kinds of restaraunts:

• diners along Route 66.
• comparing chain breakfast places (IHOP vs. Waffle House vs. Cracker Barrel, etc etc)
• fast food restaraunts 
• knock offs of fast food restaraunts 
• theme restaurants

And so on and so forth. Dylan's videos are fun and I appreciate his enthusiasm even if a particularly eatery does not meet his expectations.  

Here is a video Dylan making comparisons of the most expensive buffets in Las Vegas.

I wonder if cafeterias count as buffets.

If so, I would have been interested in Dylan's assessment of K&W.

But sadly that will not be happening now.

After being in business for 88 years, K&W shut down immediately as of Monday, December 1st.  

I really feel sad that K&W is gone.

I feel bad that I have not eaten at K&W in what, maybe over 25 years or so? 

I remember K&W being very cost effective and with a nice selection of different kinds of food.

Of course, with theTirzepatide injection I now take each week curbing my appetite, I'm not sure how far I would get out of K&W's extensive and varied serving line. 

I remember one factor that caused me some stress going to K&W was the "Whachermeat" lady. As you advanced through the line, a woman responsible for doling out whatever meat was on the menu, she would call out "Whachermeat" to people back in the line before you could see what the meat was.

My wife Andrea grew up in Greensboro and frequently dined at K&W with her grandparents when she was a child.  So the loss of K&W is particularly poignant for her.    

When I used to go to K&W, I was among the youngest people there.  

Now that I've aged into the average demographic for K&W customers, they are no longer around.

Well, that's kind of a bummer.

And I'm sorry Dylan Huynh won't get to try it. I would've loved to hear his review of K&W.
