Hey, I'm a geek-type hooman and I have two cat-type birbs:
@autumn
@book
If you would like your birb (or anything else) added on birb.site as an emoji, just ask!

@book ponders the mysteries of the universe

what's more fun than a jackhammer in the basement? two jackhammers! ...this is gonna be a long few days.

come here, give me some sugar. or some artificial sweetener, i won't know the difference.

@autumn overslept #caturday

wife came home exhausted, craving her usual at a specific restaurant, and completely depleted of the energy to go out and deal with people and/or trafffic.

i cooked her that meal (or as close as i could get) and made her so happy.

basic cooking skills are a super power!

back in the good section of the liquor store, i ran into an old man with an oxygen tank. i am drinking the correct stuff!

on the checkout person's nametag: "serving you since 2015" ...yeah that feels about right.

the church of achoo: when you sneeze, a soul does indeed escape. but that's fine, we all have lots of souls, including grass we've trod on, pets we've said goodbye to (or have sneezed on us) etc

reevocarnlutionism: die in a funny or memorable way to be reincarnated as something more evolved

matholicism: 3's are holy, but never use 6's

psyology: creativity is a myth, psychic powers are real. when you imagine, you're perceiving a real alternate dimension

final fantasy to present reality conversion chart:

potion = lager
hi-potion = porter
x-potion = imperial stout
...elixirs must be various ages of whiskey.
...pretty sure espers aren't legalized yet.
crystal = crystal

whenever i sneeze, and my cat is within earshot, she chatters at me as if to make a counterpoint, or perhaps to correct an important faux-pas that i've made.

breakfast this morning raised another clue that i may in fact be ron swanson: i think those eggs were for everybody.

by rights i should be thrilled that there's a new battletoads, but... meh. just looks bland and joyless. (of course being owned by microsoft now doesn't help.)

it stinks of "soulless reboot" the same way the ninja turtles and ducktales did, right down to the boring-ized logo.

@autumn is running around like a big freak and literally screeched around a corner like slipping car tires or shoes on a basketball court. #caturday

humans: hey, let's control water!
nature: pff, amateurs.

(may or may not be inspired by carrying 200 gallons of water out of my basement in the last couple days)

i may as well embrace it... i'm the ron swanson of my workplace. (no, i can't take nearly enough for granted to be libertarian; just bear with me here.)

my job is to write and repair code, but my own aim is to delete large amounts of it. on my happiest days, our codebase shrinks enough to make others worry.

also, whiskey.

ugh, my shopping cart is like my country. without a great deal of effort, it just keeps veering right and wrecking stuff.
