Taking the steps toward real retirement is hard work. One particular aspect is backing up and clearing off computers. That means over 20 years of sweat and blood poured into creating marketing BS is going onto zip drives and being deleted from my computers’ storage. TWICE! A copy for my favorite brother… and one for me to keep when he loses his.
In the meantime…
Since my brain is totally in ‘retirement housecleaning’ mode, today’s a good day to play with AI images — and provide a prompt for you to have fun with too.
Here’s the prompt — just enter it into your favorite AI assistant along with a photo: Based on this photo, put the person(s) on a TV show that it looks like they belong in…
I cast you in Only Murders in the Building as the neighbor who already knows what happened and is having too much fun watching the podcasters catch up. The glasses, the olive jacket, and that grin sold me. Your first line, holding up the envelope: “I was wondering how long it’d take you three to check the mail.”
Perry’s in Stranger Things as the Hawkins radio guy who picks up a signal from the Upside Down and gives you that little wave like he’s just checking the weather. His first line? “Shelley, if the lights start blinking, leave ’em on. I think it’s trying to tell me something.”
Scott is in Better Call Saul. The turquoise glasses and that open-palmed gesture say Albuquerque defense attorney who’s been saving his best argument for the last thirty seconds. His closing line? “Ladies and gentlemen, the prosecution has told you a wonderful story. I was hoping they’d bring evidence.”
Your momma and Carl are guest stars on The Andy Griffith Show, in glorious black and white. Carl’s holding a parking ticket, and your momma’s already halfway up the courthouse steps to have a word with Barney.
Carl: “I was only there five minutes.”
Momma: “I know, Carl. I was the one who told you to park there.”
Now it’s YOUR turn – what show does your photo cast you in?
Now you know: In Germany, they have something called a frauenparkplatz, parking spots dedicated to women, closer to exists, in areas with more surveillance and better lighting for safety. They are also sometimes wider.
