Random Thoughts 16: “Somebody had to do it” edition

[VeloClone]

Okay, I have no idea what happened with the spoiler today except it didn't work at all when I did it the first time and I should contact an administrator.

So @BoxsterCy, consider yourself contacted.

Had a 90 minute stretch of continuous sleep. Been 2 days since I got that at once. 10-15 minute spells don’t do much.

Got food poisoning and spent all day yesterday cuddled to various toilets. 2 pieces of toast is all I could get down. Was at a luncheon Wednesday where we got prime rib, texted the dude next to me and he is fine so it must have been this other stuff.

Considering going to a restaurant in West Des Moines called Firebirds for a date night with the wife Saturday. Is the food there any good?

I assume you'll be driving this:

@VeloClone - Have you been to the speakeasy in Anoka? They text you a secret code prior to your reservation to allow admittance. Last time we went it was I need a new hammer.

What was the theory behind getting rid of the lockers?

They just take up space and cause bottlenecks.
The kids rarely use them and when they do, too often it is to hide stuff they shouldn't have in school.
The kids carry all of their books in their backpacks anyway and if they have to go to their lockers they may end up being late for their next class.

I had food poisoning once, Hope to never make it twice

IRATE
BRING
DRIPS
PRION
PRIVY
PRICK

Six.
I thought this would be the one that finally stumped me. Not bad for about 4 hours of sleep...

Took me five

Adieu-Wring-Trips-Pricy-Prick

I do like KC's Adieu. Euros and Ideas might be a couple others.

I've been working through a bunch of vowel heavy words to try to mix things up. I was doing better when I started with adieu every time.

Well, at least they're unpredictable...

Happy Birthday @ImJustKCClone!

Happy Birthday @ImJustKCClone!

You been peeking in our windows???

What I am trying to think of are certain words to try if I get no hits on the first and then another depending on what letter gets a hit.
It's a new strategy that I thought of the other day so I'm not very far along. Probably need to document each one as I come upon it.

Happy Birthday @ImJustKCClone!

Happy Birthday KC!!

Our kids always kept everything in their locker room lockers. They would have workouts before and after so it was just the norm there. Nobody put anything in the other lockers.

Happy birthday KC

I do better when I find consonants, so I switched my first word to rents.

Helped a co-worker get a PS5 for his 11 year old son today. Son has wanted one the past 2 Christmases but they are hard to find. I got one last week and told my co-worker I'd continue looking to help him out. Found one this morning and my co-worker is picking it up today. Pulling his kid out of school early to go home and play it with him all afternoon. His kid has no idea its coming.

Also a good line of attack.

I had two words I was going to use this morning - soupy and irate. Didn't need both, but it STILL took me a while. I may try your plan...
