Or instead of a civil war the rebooted man becomes a TV evangelists, becomes famous,
stages a fake death on TV but before "dying" predicts his return as a messiah 10 years later.

Ten years pass and he is reborn on earth not looking a day older than when he staged his fake death a decade earlier. In another 10 years he does the same thing again only in the meantime having gotten control of the United States and Canada because people think he is God.

He does this for about a century, always returning looking as if he has never aged while he gradually takes over the world.

His only opposition is a small cadre of unbelievers who have caught onto his reboot, but just when they get close the rebooted man disappears for a another decade, while his fanatical followers run and control the world government, which is doing terrible things.

The rebooted man never really dies, but the opposition has to pass on its fight and resources from generation to generation since they are mortal and die. Known as the "Parents and Children of the Light" the opposition, dwindling in numbers because the assassins of the Rebooted Man are killing them off one by one, must find a firmware code so they can reboot one of their own.

So no everclear, vodka, bamboo shoots, chicken wraps or beer for you!
Plus I am having some surgery next week and I can't take motrin or nanaprox for the swelling. The prednisdone does not seem to make the swelling go down.

Well then, no thanx and never mind. I'll keep my osteoarthritis and memory blackouts.

You too?
In the middle of a conversation, either not recalling a common word fails me or name of person that I know well. Sucks to be me some times.

Blocking on things like that drives me nuts. Last night I wanted to label a parts drawer and couldn't come up with the noun "USB cable."

Commiseration on the gout. It has just about got me off beer, which is actually good in a number of ways....

But chicken wraps??? Not on the gout bad list I wouldn't have thought. Like, they're the good alternative to a 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburger, aren't they?

I had some rotisserie chicken Friday night in Pacific Beach that was garnished with bamboo sprouts and almost immediately had ankle pain. But it went away by next day. I drank some diluted Everclear and some Vodka that Sat night and nothing happened on Sunday. I stupidly thought two Beers would be better than vodka Sunday night and drank those. I think my uric acid level was high already when I ate a spicy chicken wrap Monday afternoon. My ankle exploded right after that.

I have been hoping that it is not the onset of Alzheimer's. I tend to pass it off by suggesting that the brain cells I killed in college are the ones that hold names.

I looked again and chicken ranks right with beef in purines, and turkey is actually worse. I was in a red-meat-bad, white-meat-better mindset. So now I'm smarter. Too bad I just bought a turkey breast. Have to space that stuff out, in small portions....

Your chicken-wrap wasn't deep fried, was it? Very sizeable? Spinach/mushrooms in it? High corn-fructose ranch dressing maybe?
