In this case: "OMG I've been waiting for Sharkzilla Takes New York to come out!!" https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/117/017/635/724/244/849/original/a03ef543d336f0d4.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I bought the Anarchist Cookbook but it's been really hard getting those unruly MFers into the pot. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: The internet had been talking about "MySpace Emo" so here's my profile pic from that time. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/899/603/518/865/384/original/7756b24d58ce3b3e.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I want to create a series of music videos where everything is captured via non-traditional methods. For example: Music video made exclusively from trailcam footage. Music video made exclusively from nanny cam footage. Music video made exclusively from ring cam footage. Music video made exclusively from Target self checkout footage. Music video made exclusively from 7-eleven security camera footage. Music video made exclusively from red light camera footage. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Hell hath no furry like a dude in a Tasmanian Devil costume. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: If MASTERBOY can't survive in a mall, what can? https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/749/065/276/383/166/original/a60cfadd19a50e2f.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Has anyone ever written their thesis on how The Office started going downhill when Jim and Pam had a baby or do I need to apply to grad school to make that happen? npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Sh-sh-sh-should I sue? https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/700/548/857/540/890/original/f8dd8ecb769c196b.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Over the weekend, I purchased a beautiful original drawing by @nprofile…ggha and it just arrived! It features the TV and VCR from Ghost World and is a confluence of my favorite form of visual media and one of my all-time favorite movies! The original is mine all mine, but Marcus has a bunch of other originals and prints on his site if you want to check it out and treat yourself or a loved one to something really cool! https://marcusmerritt.bigcartel.com/products https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/699/608/078/331/498/original/2d814d262b6265e1.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I find it impossible to see this bird as anything but a big scary creature with a wide open mouth preparing to consume me. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/669/807/735/128/935/original/4cac23167a7241bd.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Not mad about this hole in my sock because I think it's cute the way my opalescent toenail polish is shining through. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/613/995/327/267/879/original/050774af7e3435e7.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: @nprofile…galm Agreed! It's a minor "inconvenience" with potentially major benefits. I have no problem with it. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: In light of this Hantavirus BS, there should be a sketch about two people describing their own unique COVID experiences where one person is like "Yeah, I know! I didn't even go within 6 feet of a stranger until I was double vaxxed." and the other is like I wasn't able to hit the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese until the family reunion in the summer of 2020." npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I only trust Sinclair gasoline for my car because it's the only one with DinoCare™️!

For any concerned, my stool (feces) "goblin" is negative! https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/537/077/453/369/040/original/b3a68371980ecdee.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Happy Cinco de Cuatro to all who celebrate! npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: It's so hard visiting a new town and not knowing if a restaurant/bar is empty because it's MAGA or because it's not MAGA. Let's look around and hope we find at least one hopeful sign like an LGBTQIA flag of some sort. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: If I were a baseball player, my signature move would be to hit the ball as hard as I could into the ground in front of me so everyone would need to scramble and start digging out my ball in a desperate effort to prevent me from my inevitable victory. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Kev and I were watching SNL reruns and Katy Perry showed up looking like this and I was like "What in the Beetlejuice am I looking at?" "Why is she dressed like Beetlejuice?" And Kev immediately interjected with panic like "DON'T say his name again!" https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/429/560/154/689/240/original/413e0f4270d07f02.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: If you don’t wanna pay for foot pix on my only fans, you can just google pics of tree frogs. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I’m probably going to make some enemies by saying this, but I think it's very important to say... The problem with the name for Ruth's Chris Steakhouse isn't with Ruth, it's with Chris. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I couldn't decide on a profile photo for LinkedIn so I just uploaded all of them. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/400/015/436/381/764/original/9e4f6acdc0244c56.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I’m not big on nature photos, but sometimes you need to document the morning fog. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/397/873/273/458/589/original/0409b3f55dd8dcfd.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: @nprofile…qtpp It's a custom amp by this company called Silktone. I got it for @nprofile…ry84 as an anniversary present last year. It has a really beautiful sound! https://www.silktone.org/store/c3/Amps.html npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I bought some Sander Patelski prints for the living room so I moved the building photos to the bedroom and took some photos for my dad so I figure this is a good time to document what my little apartment looks like on April 12, 2026. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/393/101/246/186/550/original/995bab8dbfb983e6.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making SUVs and then making crossovers which are just tiny SUVs and pretending like they're not just rebranded station wagons. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: The hardest part about life is not dying. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: This movie theater gives you free "butter" and bowls/boats to hold it! https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/352/677/639/996/579/original/49d2aac3106e392e.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Kev and I were on a brewery patio yesterday and this little girl came up to our table and left this artwork so I’m pretty sure we're besties now. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/313/946/743/618/751/original/98e46d919d856c5c.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Booked a mini vacation to see the Lake Berryessa Glory Hole and now my husband can't stop talking about how excited he is to see the glory hole so please let everyone else on mass transit know what he's actually talking about. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/309/754/115/128/527/original/df92f77589a06ba4.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: The dream of 2020 is alive in California. 😢 https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/309/699/390/964/705/original/30388385b41f4839.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: It's not that I hate children, it's just that I find most of them to be very annoying. Like, oh, cool, you can count to ten? Well, I can count WAY higher than that, ya dummies. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: When I was a teenager in the '90s, my boyfriend at the time gave me his old skateboard. The trucks and wheels were fine, but the deck was heavily used and the design had been scraped off most of the bottom, so I took some paint markers and decorated it by painting a black and white checkerboard background with a large stormtrooper head in the foreground because Star Wars and ska were two of my favorite things at the time. I was mostly just a poser and barely rode it and it remained in the back of my car for several years until I was at a sporting goods store and saw a kid doing tricks on a demo deck and I told him he was really good and he said "Thanks! I have to practice here because I don’t have a skateboard." At that moment, I remembered my backseat skateboard and told him he could have it, but warned him that the "graphic" was kind of nerdy so he was more than welcome to draw/paint over it. I went out to my car and grabbed the skateboard and brought it to the front of the store where the kid was waiting and he flipped it over and said "Whoa! Star Wars and ska?!? These are two of my favorite things!" I’m so glad that skateboard finally found the right owner. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Let me know if you want to watch my new show called MST3KHGTV where I gather with my robot vacuum and make snotty comments while watching episodes of House Hunters. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: A lot of people don’t know this, but the J.C. In J.C. Penney stands for Jesus Christ. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: The hardest part about slicing tomatoes with a mandoline is figuring out which pieces are tomatoes and which are fingers. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: People often send me messages that begin with "QQ" which is supposed to stand for Quick Question; however, based on the questions that follow, I can only assume they think QQ stands for something like "Qomplicated Question" or "Qonfusing Question." npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Dyed some Easter eggs! I like to mess up the colors so I can pretend like they're dinosaur eggs. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/286/897/273/472/974/original/14a91827bb830f4d.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Happy International Women's Day! And I guess honorable mention to all of my fellow women who haven't been able to escape their backwards countries like the present day United States, for example. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Everyone should have known Veruca Salt was a bad egg the moment she started growling and demanding a bean feast because who would actually want that nonsense? npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I just met you and this is crazy but here's my number so please ensure you only use it to text because I absolutely will not answer if you try to call. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: This page intentionally left blank for doodling. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: It's a sketch about a crazy aunt, but this aunt is REALLY into genealogy and she dramatically gathers the entire family to see her life's work and rolls out this super long scroll to reveal a family tree that is eventually found to have nothing to do with her own family members but instead breaks down the history of the Coppola family. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I always wanted to be cremated because I think being buried is super selfish but now I’m thinking it would be super cool to hang around and haunt some burial grounds. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I'm always creeped out whenever people reference the "naked eye" because I'd prefer to picture an anthropomorphic eyeball wearing a cute little outfit with coordinating sneakers. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I want to show up to a local brewery or coffee shop's game night with an elaborate roll out mat, a fancy robe, and a decorative deck of cards just so I can start emphatically explaining how to play something like Go Fish or Uno. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I was watching the Olympics and this event came on called the Biathlon where people shoot rifles and then go cross country skiing and I've been pondering the origin story ever since. Were they like "shooting a dumb gun isn't a real sport so let's add some slow-ass cross country skiing to the end just to make it qualify" or were they like "cross country skiing is BORING so why don’t we add a part where they're all shootin' some guns just so it's not completely mind numbing" or was it something else in general? npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Hey, babe. Let's kiss under the cameltoe. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: This photo is from a "series" of photos of what I can only refer to as "anti-bathroom selfies" where I was making fun of the idea of bathroom selfies by specifically posing with toilets. Here's a small sample. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/088/660/681/617/420/original/06d0fc88b3e5b1d5.png npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: My company requested a "headshot" and this is the best photo I can find. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/087/614/576/503/340/original/76ba6c5469afbc90.jpeg npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: The IRS already has our tax info so I don’t know why they make each of us fill out the equivalent of a numerical MadLib every year. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I was talking to my husband about how he has really nice dark and thick eyelashes, similar to the smoke show that is Richard from LOST, and he was like"STOP! you're going to make my confidence hit the ceiling!" and I was like "Babe, you're already up on the skylight with your balls slapping against the window like an agitated baboon" so don’t tell me I don’t know about romance. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: I think diarrhea is an impolite word to use at the dinner table, which is why I always say that I need to excuse myself to squirt out an Arnold Palmer. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Warning: Everyone is probably going to be drawn as an anthropomorphic hotdog. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Can everyone please stop with the AI generated profile photos? It's absolute slop and it's killing the environment.

Just remembering something and wanted to write it down to document it. Years ago, I worked at an Apple Store teaching computer lessons for all learning levels and on a variety of topics. One of my regulars was a nice older lady who was a piano teacher and we got to talking and she mentioned that her husband is a lawyer and he's the one who wanted to learn to use the computer, but he didn't want to go into the store to learn, so she was taking lessons for him and then she would go home and try to teach him, but it wasn't working out because they were getting "frustrated" with one another, so she asked if I ever taught private lessons at people's homes. This was definitely a conflict of interest and I really liked my job and wasn't willing to risk losing it, but she mentioned that it may be okay if we were just trading services where I would teach her husband to use the computer and she would teach me piano lessons as a thank you. I ran it by my manager and she said she was totally fine with an arrangement like that and she gave me the green light. Once a week after work, I'd take the bus to their house in a suburb of Chicago and we'd start with my piano lesson and then I'd go and give the husband his computer lesson. Her husband wanted to learn the computer because "so many law things require computers nowadays" so he wanted to "keep up with the kids" and I really admired that about him. Over time, I gave up on the piano, but he still wanted to learn more on the computer, so I just continued teaching the lessons for free. Once he had "mastered" email and web searches, he mentioned that he wanted to create a website for his law practice, so I helped him make a basic website (e.g., bio, services, contact info, etc.). The template he selected had a large space at the top for a header photo and he said he wanted a photo of the Chicago skyline, so we hopped on Google and selected one and added it and clicked publish and he was really happy with his website and we sent an email to pretty much everyone he knew (BCCed) to link them to his new website. At that point, he had pretty much accomplished his ultimate goal and I just happened to be moving, so we said our goodbyes and that was the last time I saw him. Years later, I took a Photoshop class and part of the class was on copyright laws and attribution and I had this OH NO flashback moment to creating that website because we definitely just did a random google search for Chicago skyline and didn't have formal permission to use that photo and I had NO idea what the photographer's permissions were, so I was terrified that I was going to get this poor lawyer in trouble for copyright infringement due to a dumb photo that we hastily dropped on his website years before. By this point, I lived in a different state and all of the website files lived on his computer and there was no way I was going to be able to instruct him on how to change the photo via email or over the phone, so I wasn't going to open a can of worms by even mentioning it to him and I just pushed down the bad feelings and guilt, but every so often I'd remember it and they'd come flooding back. Whenever this would happen, I'd pull up his website to see if anything changed, but it was always there with that big photo of the Chicago skyline staring right back at me. I recently remembered him again and went to pull up his website to see if the photo was still there, but this time the entire website was gone. I was relieved until I googled him and found his obituary instead and my relief turned to grief. It turns out he had died a couple of years ago and left behind his loving wife, a piano teacher. RIP, Don. You were one of the good ones and I'm glad you lived a long life free of copyright lawsuits. npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: What's the phenomenon called where you're grossed out every time you eat Chinese food and say you're never going to eat it again, but the moment you see one of those cute little takeout containers, you immediately NEED to eat it again? npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Is a humanitarian a person who only eats humans? npub1uzmnvz0gqwwmdkuha03xzyudc476044n2ch3knf32l2zjlnngu2sk6z77h Alice McFlurry :bc: Serious question!
