 Strolled over to the Hair Time barber shop just a five minute walk away from me, and got my fall " egg with eyebrows" cut. Got my first senior discount. Nice. They're got a new regular customer. Praise "Bob"; no more slack hairs in my mouth when I eat the HELL out of that sammich.

 @6ebf1391  didn't think that Leonardo would know who Budd was. Hell, it doesn't even know what Star Trek is, so I assumed it was a pop culture idiot. 
 ...I just wasted 150 Leonardo.AI credits trying to get a reasonable image of myself holding a double barreled shotgun against the roof of my mouth, about to pull the trigger...and Leonardo just could not, COULD NOT, understand the arrangement of head, arms, or weapon. This is the closest I could come to what I wanted. AI is hopeless at translating descriptive text to a visual medium. It's like trying to describe an apple to something that has never seen a 3D globular object.

 ....decent Hunter poster. It even got the golf club right, although I told it to give me " TELL ME ABOUT THE GOLF SHOES.". Someone slipped adrenochrome into the software, I think.

 ...Slackfully tripped over a new image generator, IDEOGRAM.AI , that ( mostly ) successfully integrates test into generated images without losing the meaning in meaningless gibberish. It did RAW and Hunter S. Thompson with the intended words...but it took a while. It does poster art and psychedelic very well, and photographic realism decently, but still trips over anatomy and fingers. It's worth a look, at least. "Bob" still eludes it.

 TEXT, not test. Big thick long fingers, you know how it is. 
 The DSS submarine fleet, currently off shore of Sentinel Island in the Sea of India. The black vessel is the DSS STARK FIST. The red pair is ( left ) the DSS SPEAR , and ( right ) the DSS SHIELD.
