The Wandering Melon by Mike Shiell for February 21, 2022

Nope. Don’t know anyone like that. Never met anyone that even comes close to this person. Nope, never. (Quietly preparing cases of zippers with quick-acting adhesive strips…)

Telling it how it is is the only way to be. Correcting the world through my exhortations is my only purpose in life. That’s just how it is. I believe I serve a valuable purpose. Somebody had to say it. You know that everybody was thinking it. It’s just common sense after all. I don’t know what sort of fool doesn’t see it that way. But I can tell you what is wrong with them. It’s perfectly obvious if you ever bother to think about it . . .

What’s wrong with saying what others are thinking and they’re afraid to speak up? When growing up I cringed to say anything for being frowned upon…but as years went on, I became more confident and spoke my peace….

Yep. I’ve known quite a few like that. But, when you tell THEM like it is, they get awfully defensive. They’re usually sad and lonely people.

interesting -

Spending a lot of time watching “The View”, Mr. Shiell? I’m just asking for a friend.

Hmmm . . the Melon wandered onto Rant Lane

“You know me…” Yes, I do.

My first thought was "The View "

“… and the election was STOLEN!”

it doesn’t count as confident if you do it anonymously.

…and that’s why I don’t take my wife anywhere anymore.

oops… I guess I can look forward to my own special room ??
