ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL FOR LINKS ONLY OR FOR ADVICE ONLY – SO, USING THE MIGHTY COGITATION POWERS OF THE TABERNACLE, ZARDOZ CONCLUDED THAT A LITTLE OF EACH WOULD SUFFICE. THEREFOR, RECEIVE THE GIFT OF ADVICE AND LINKS….GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
Q: My girlfriend and I have lived together off and on for three years. We met at a lesbian bar in Los Angeles, and it was love at first sight for me.
I suspect she has been seeing another woman. She has changed her dress style and even her cologne. When I confront her, begging her to tell me if she’s been cheating, she laughs it off. We don’t communicate well anymore, and she’s sleeping in another room now.
I have cared for her for so long. We were going to be married. Now I feel she doesn’t love me anymore. I have tried following her, but she disappears and sometimes doesn’t come home for days. I haven’t slept or eaten in weeks.
I love her so much. If she doesn’t come back to me, I’ve had thoughts of suicide. I can’t afford a shrink. I hope you can help. — FREAKED OUT & CLUELESS IN CALIFORNIA
A: NORMALLY ZARDOZ IS APPALLED BY “RELATIONSHIP ADVICE” – HOWEVER, YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE PROCLAMATION THAT THE PENIS IS EVIL. THUS, ZARDOZ WILL HELP. ZARDOZ WILL HAVE YOUR PARTNER TRANSPORTED TO THE VORTEX AND HAVE THE ETERNALS GO TO SECOND LEVEL WITH HER.
GO TO SECOND LEVEL AND DISCOVER THE TRUTH!
IF SHE HAS BEEN CHEATING, ZARDOZ OFFERS YOU TWO ALTERNATIVES. FIRST, SHE CAN BE RENDERED CATATONIC AND PLACED IN A PLASTIC WRAP…DON’T ASK, IT IS A VORTEX THING.
ZED, STAY HERE AND MAKE SURE SHE DOESN’T LEAVE.
OR SHE CAN BE SENT TO THE GRAIN FIELDS.
CHANGED COLOGNE, EH?
SHOULD THE TRUTH BE LESS BAD NEWS FILLED – RECONCILE AND STAY TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY.
WHAT A LOVELY COUPLE
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
AND THE LINKS:
- ZARDOZ EXPECTS THE PENNSYLVANIA BRUTAL ENFORCES TO BE SWAMPED WITH VOLUNTEERS.

““BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office, said Friday.”
Amazing that the special counsel made a public statement.
That’s the best part of the whole story.
Yeah, but Buzzfeed was morally right, so it’s a victory.
Apparently, the twitter scuttlebutt is that Bill Maher’s entire show was going to be about this.
Excellent timing.
My policy of always waiting 48 hours before making any kind of comment about any news regarding anything from this investigation turns out to be correct yet again.
NBC News trumpeted the Buzzfeed story tonight before the Mueller tweet, saying only that they couldn’t confirm the story beyond Buzzfeed.
But just because it’s unconfirmed doesn’t mean we can’t lead with it!
Somewhere Huntley and Brinkley are spinning in their graves.
And our esteemed media just ran with another BuzzFeed story? Have they learned anything?
They haven’t. But I have. (Well, not ‘learned’, but acquired additional evidence to support an existing conclusion.)
I vote for the grain fields.

Of course, the real mystery here is the why the guy would dump a drop-dead gorgeous girl who’s into group sex to be with some dumpy loser so insecure that she has to write a tabloid rag for advice about destroying her relationship.

“Even the landlord would come round and join in the fun in return for a reduction in the rent.”

So these next couple of weekends appear to be good ones for me. There are several special releases coming from both Saucy and Working Class that appear very interesting. It doesn’t hurt that Working Class is doing a mac and cheese fundraiser for a rugby league, and Saucy’s release is happening the same weekend as Masthead’s second anniversary.
Looks like you guys are getting a taste of the shitty weather they’re f̶o̶r̶e̶c̶a̶s̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ shitting their pants over down here. Congrats.
They’re predicting it. So far it’s clear here, just supposed to get really cold this weekend, with lows down in the single digits. It doesn’t hurt that I’m outside of the snow belt.
We will be fleeing the weather and rolling south to face the perils of Florida man, for a week.

Vaginae dentata sponsored by ZARDOZ.
Not my favorite lineup. Maybe 20.
ZARDOZ, my wife is committed to being faithful in our marriage and seems to want me to fulfill a patriarchal fantasy for her. This makes me deeply uncomfortable since I’m a devoted male feminist and only want what’s best for her, and all women. She’s reluctant to make unilateral decisions for our two-unit family, despite pleading with her to be more assertive and dominating. When I took a voluntary pay cut at work, she was furious. But how else am I supposed to give her the life she deserves as the empowered female breadwinner? She’s anxious about providing for our child, with whom she’s six months pregnant, on her Staples manager salary. When I tried to remind her that it’s every liberated woman’s wish to “have it all” with a career and family and caretaker husband, she shut me out and refused to speak for days. Then she threatened to leave when I suggested she should unburden herself with a boyfriend. I promised I wouldn’t be jealous! I just want her to be emotionally and sexually satisfied. How can I convince her that feminism will make her happy?
Pics?
Here’s a picture I took while she was trying to explain why what’s good for all women isn’t necessarily good for her. I just wanted her to see how confident she looks when she stands up for herself. It didn’t go over well.
Would not.
It’s 2019, brah. We want video.
1. Buy a .357.
2. Load it and cock it.
3. Place against temple and pull trigger.
Her problems are now solved.
Her’s or his temple?
Yes!
Oh, no. No guns in this house. Not even toy guns.
The boyfriend gets to be part of the family, too – right?
Yes, their children will call him “manly daddy”
Knew it was fake by the fourth line.
My wife thinks this is sound advice Zardoz but she has had much beer.
“But”?
That’s what she said.

Freaking cold back home. Low tonight 70 and high tomorrow 78. The coats will be out and seat heaters going all over. I am in Seattle and it will be the usual wet and rainy.
We had a warm front here today . . .38. It melted some of last weekend’s snow. But that’s alright, we’re getting another 7 inches tomorrow.
Conserve water and rip out your lawn, serf.
The “new normal” blah blah blah.
California has a cycle that repeats, that will always repeat, that continues to repeat, and that is treated as new:
1. Rain/snow falls in the winter
2. Snow melts in the Spring, causing forests and other brush to grow
3. Summer is dry, drying out all the brush
4. Fires start in fall
5. Rain/snow start, helping to put out fires
Repeat ad infinitum.
Just because it’s a chance to link it again.
I was greatly entertained one of the times I was in Las Vegas in April. It was in the mid 50-s there and everyone was bundled up. People didn’t understand how me and my friends were able to walk around in short sleeves, and shorts without an issue. We had to point out that it was snowing where we were from the week before.
“It was in the mid 50-s there and everyone was bundled up.”
You are MUCH older than I thought you were.
Well, it was during Viva, so most of us were wearing 50’s garb, and the temps were about the same. It was unfortunate for the bathing suit competition however.

We didn’t invent whiskey, but we are getting pretty good at it.
So I broke down and started back to work Monday: I’m repping a design engineering firm. As a storied and mercenary, I’ve onboarded a time or two, been around, and have my own ideas about best practices, and I must say: this went almost too easily. The phone was on time, the laptop started right up (easiest VPN I’ve ever used: one click, no dongle), everyone’s nice, everyone’s seasoned and capable, but they still have the laid-back Millennial office: chess table, easy furniture out on the balcony, lots of free snacks, all tucked away from the madding crowds in a whole neighborhood of class A space but only ten minutes from 285. Biz and credit cards should be in Monday so I can start doing some damage.
I’m always jammering on here about there being no chicks in engineering, but I’ve kinda found a few: they don’t really build anything, but they do crank out nice calculations and blueprints, so here’s props for that much.
Downside: they’re a swag firm. I’m okay with handing out calc pads with out trademark on ’em, but logo shirts are for (looks around, maybe some of y’all love ’em) others: I’m a suit and tie guy, and I’m certainly not wagging their laptop satchel anywhere or parading around in a Land’s End button-down.
Best part is no limit on resources or territory: just sell and they’ll figure out where to get the staff to do it; coast-to-coast, any client or segment.
I don’t trust; I’m a pessimist and selfish bastard. But this smells rights.
Wear the suit. Insist they call you “Q” without any irony.
Nope, no suit and tie. I’ll stick with business casual at worst.
Ties are for interviews. I won’t work anywhere that requires one.
I wear short pants to work. I hate trousers with an intensity that is likely unwarranted but I’m really uncomfortable if circumstances force me into long-pants. Last week was the first time I put on “bloody Saxon trews” since about this time last year.
Nice. I’ve never had that luxury.
I wear short pants to work. I hate trousers with an intensity that is likely unwarranted but I’m really uncomfortable if circumstances force me into long-pants.
I’m choosing yo interpret this in the British manner where short pants are whitey tighties and long pants are boxer briefs.
A lot of people mock the TSA for their failure rate, but they’re considered essential. The ones who have to show up. So what about the government employees at the other laundry list of government agencies? Does anyone think they’re better at their stated jobs? So while the media is quoting a bunch of insiders who are oh so scared that disaster is coming, there’s little questioning anywhere of the efficacy of those regulators. This is the libertarian moment. The one that the people in the media who claim to be libertarians are too big of pussies to praise.
I’m reminded of how regulations often develop from isolated incidents. Like, some kids died. And now we’ll implement a bureaucracy that actually insulates the powerful among the regulated from liability. And then even more children die then before, but it’s OK because the government is in bed with those they’re supposed to monitor (when the disaster is too large, that’s actually the definition of a market failure and how you end up with too big too fail scenarios).
The government actually operates a lot like sports teams. Media covers and profits off the people they’re supposed to hold accountable. They’re resource is information that they get from insiders. Coaches and players selectively leak in ways that benefit themselves. Like…they get favorable coverage.
This is my drunken way of introducing this story that Drudge is headlining. The one where a bunch of Washington “aides” just know that the shut down will end with just one single disaster. A disaster which, that despite a month now, hasn’t occurred. Which is why the media types are stuck talking about trash in public parks. Or stories on how over regulated industries are suffering because their aren’t bureaucrats there to do jobs they never should have had in the first place. Like approving beer labels.
Are you suggesting that government agents that approve beer labels are non-essential? You deplorable shitlord. It would be anarchy of unregulated labels without them. ///sarc
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty scared of what the beer labels might look like without the regulators around.
You know, I’m suggesting something even more radical. That the regulations and regulators actually do more harm for the consumer than they do good.
If I ever write an article, it will be on this subject or the drug war.
I applaud those that still go because they actually believe in their oath and understand their duty. I do go to work on the technical side still 40 hours a week because I want Air Traffic to have all the tools available to continue to separate aircraft.

Immediatly Dems are calling for an “Investigation”. Isn’t there already an investigation? This reeks of a replay of the Dossier.
Their playbook will remain the same because they are incapable of adapting. They have this plan that works against any average, spineless Republican But that plan, like any plan, is only as good as the initial position in which it allows you to be placed and does not necessarily provide for innovation reflecting actions by the opponent. Trump is a different kind of Republican who seems to stick to at least some supposed principles Republicans supposedly have* and he has the backbone (some call it pettiness) to back it up. This thwarts Team Blue.
*I like to tell my gf that Trump is kindof a Kennedy/Clinton/Webb business Democrat (which he kinda is…). That really gets under her skin given that she is dyed in the wool and subject to w/e the inconsistent party line is at any given moment. I mean she literally parrots taking points. Smart girl in other areas, but not so in philosophy and government. That said, she accepts that I am a gun-toting
libertarianconservatarian. So that’s something.Meant to add, Trump seems to allow for adaptation in his dealings, which is why he thwarts Team Blue on a regular basis. The House delegation travel by military equipment/staff/etc denial is a prime example.
I’m a little surprised it isn’t bigger news that RBG will reportedly step down from SCOTUS sometime this month

Let us hope it’s true that she will step down. Shitty reason, though.
Replacing her with a Constitutionalist takes squishy Roberts right out of the equation.
First they have to let the fake Buzzfeed story die down. Then the epic pantshitting after Trump announces he’s using the military to build the wall and Nancy ain’t getting jackshit, has to somewhat die down. Then we can get on to the epic RGB pantshitting.
BTW, who beat Cohen up?
That’s Buzzfeed levels of truthiness.
So the wife and I had a vigorous conversation on the various forms of bureaucracy in our work places.
I made the case that there is 10-20% of those in the system who work hard to do thier job despite the system, then there are 40% or so that try to walk the line between doing thier job and giving lip service to the system in place, then there are the 40% that are the system. The ratios vary depending on the environment, field, and lifecycle of the company or entity.
Hers is at the flip side where the majority are more concerned about keeping the bureaucracy growing and mine is creeping towards the dark side as they grow.
Have any of you seen the bureaucracy stay the same or shrink as the company grows or is it like the one way ratchet of the GOV?
By the way drinking Nikka Coffey Wiskey.
Maybe it has a Peter Principle element to it. People rise to a position where they aren’t competent any longer so they turn into bureaucratic leeches. Anyone is competent at that.
There is that as well as once you get to a certain size of company you start making rules based on past failures. So you need people to enforce the new rules, then these people need to justify thier jobs. this creates the incentive to add more rules. Rinse and repeat.
Other than no-skill jobs, I had only been with one company in my career-to-date. It grew from 69 when I joined to 1500+ when it got snapped up by another company of 7500+. The bureaucracy went exactly in the direction you would suppose.
I’ve worked at many different sized organizations and had clients ranging from tiny to large, Fortune 500 companies. The bureaucracy grows, never shrinks unless the company shrinks dramatically.
Thing is, even in well run company, you kind of have to have it grow. The logistics of running a 60 person company vs. even a 30 person company are very different, and it gets worse the bigger you get. Bill Ford Jr. can’t know every employee by name and make little carve outs and exceptions for everyone. As you grow, you need a more formal structure. At a certain size, you are recruiting year round, and so you need the dreaded HR function to be more robust since folks are constantly onboarding and exiting. The key is maintaining a personal touch and recognizing the evils of the bureaucracy and fighting the good (but losing) fight against it. Kind of like Libertarianism.
Gillette Cuts Their Own Throat (A Rant)
Let’s not pretend that people loved Gillette before. They sponsor the Patriots’ home stadium, for crying out loud!
No, I didn’t love Gillette before. In fact I haven’t used their product in years. However, I did use Dawn dish soap and Tide detergent. I’ll be buying Palmolive or Ajax from now on and I’ll go back to making my own laundry detergent. Don’t ever let the say this didn’t cost them some business.
That reminds me. Before they banned smoking everwhere, the local newspaper had an editorial that claimed that banning smoking in restaurants didn’t hurt businesses. My father called them and cancelled the paper that day. When they asked why he said, “I’m proving you wrong that supporting a smoking ban won’t hurt business, it just hurt yours.”
It was an ‘everyone hates the Patriots’ joke.
Think about this. If these feminazis and their mangina hordes could succeed in curing 95% of men of toxic masculinity and turn them into spineless soy boys, the other 5% who are still inflicted with toxic masculinity could band together, subjugate, and enslave the other 95% of emasculated society in very little time. Didn’t think about that, did you, bitches?
I’m guessing the 95% of women who don’t like soyboys won’t let it get that far.
I don’t know why, but I had to listen to this.

HM cartoon. My family is Irish, swearing is mandatory.
I wonder how many here even get that there is no way to swear in Japanese at a similar level as we do in English. So even if this mother of this friend of Straff’s daughter had somebody to explain what har daughter had learned to say she would probably be thrilled that her daughter was learning authentic English.

Thank you William Barr.
After doing a bit of looking into, I have recently discovered that the reason my property taxes went up so much in 2015 was not because I bought a piece of land that year, but because the county has been charging me taxes on a house that is not on my land. I have paid 1500 dollars to the county over the past 3 years for a structure that I do not own.
I have talked to the structure owner and discovered that he too has been paying taxes on this structure. Over the past week, my wife has been (thank God it’s her and not me) getting this sorted out. She has managed to make the county admit its mistake and has gotten a promise for a refund. This is good, however-
The county wants to credit the extra money I have paid them towards my taxes next year.
I am not happy with that. I want my fucking money back.
Anywho, my wife has done an admirable job of sorting this out, however I will not accept a credit as repayment. Monday, I’m going to the revenue office to state my views and expectations.
Wish me luck glibs.

At the risk of going no true Scotsman on your ass, that would’ve been any real libertarian’s first thought.
My first real thought was hiring a lawyer and suing the county.
Probably futile, but maybe worth it.
I’m a man who once upon a time spent over a thousand dollars on a lawyer to prove myself innocent of a crime that I had already spent the night in jail for and if convicted was only going to be liable for a 180 dollar fine.
Your second thought should be to call the local TV News “Problem Solver”. The check will be in the mail by the end of the week.
That only works if the “problem” is an evil corporation or landlord.
One in LA went after loafing city workers. There is still hope.
This really pisses me off. Property taxes are serfdom. I hate the damn things anyway and it extra pisses me off that I’m being overcharged for a structure that some other poor serf is already paying on.
This is a pittance compared to the amount your county fucked you over, but I just learned how much my state charges in late fees for unpaid tolls. A sixty cent toll will cost you twenty extra dollars if not paid on time. I don’t even know how that can possibly be legal, but there it is.
Evil Capitalist Libertarian Bank of America used to charge $20 for over-drafting by 1 cent. Therefore something something fatcats!
Like that time my township replaced my fake road sign with a real road sign, except at a higher level of stupidity and malice.

Tell them that you’ll accept credit as repayment only if you’re allowed to charge the same exact fees and interest as somebody who doesn’t pay their property taxes on time.

Who are we not to revel in their destruction, merely because a gay man desired it.
Well, I can’t approve destroying everything that the gay men want destroyed, but that’s probably because I’m not one of them.
‘THEM’?!?! You fucking BIGOT!!!111!
“into to” see I’m already writing like a BuzzFeed “journalist”
If that doesn’t work out, I bet the Daily Mail is hiring.
Buzzfed.
It’s been over two years of egg on face reporting in this…I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or just the next step in our infotainment media complex we have here in America.
I am beginning to think we are Truman in the Truman Show
An Lushan Rebellion – One of the Bloodiest Conflicts in History
I wonder whether anyone at any other point in history thought, “War has been our heritage and our destiny since time immemorial, but now, at long last, we’ve found peace.”
I just want to thank everyone here who has supported me making my stupid cartoons. This place is teh best!

A Jo led song. Pshaw! I mean, I’ll groove to it. But She’s no Rachel.
I mean, it doesn’t even have Bradly rap breakdown.
That’s a strong jaw on the blond. Not quite Rumer Willis, but impressive.
She looks less manly in that video than the S Club Party video

WTF should teachers be texting their students at all? WTF is wrong with this world? Valuable service my ass.
Who gets charged for texting anymore? I’m on the lowest plan offered here, which includes 10GB of data I use 0 of monthly and unlimited texts.
My oldest is finishing high school in Cali…the teachers have to sign up and pay for online grading that includes a parent connect service…but ya know…they need more money.
Yet my two youngest are in Nevada that is ranked 50 in education and we get that service as part of the system…
I’m sure there are bare-bones plans.
I hope when I’m old and have no use for unlimited VR or whatever crap they come up with, that there will be bare-bones plans for me.
It’s a third party service. Sounds like Verizon is charging bulk texting services a spam fee because that’s where some/most spam texting is coming from. Boo hoo. So sad.
How else are they supposed to build a rapport with their students?
“Lured” by the teacher or his raging hormones?
Well, there’s your problem.
I wonder if Mueller is about to face the wrath of the Left for disputing the article that was to impeach not only Trump but Pence and usher in the era of President Pelosi
Look how many times Comey flipped from villain to hero during the elections.
Why did his office do it? To maintain the illusion of credibility? (Of course not—why would he care, and the only people who find the investigation credible and consider him to have integrity would have swallowed the Buzzfeed allegations without question.)
I’m trying to reconcile it.
I dont think highly of Mueller but he knows if he doesnt step in on this report, any scant actually evidence will be obliterated.
Given his team, he cannot have spurious and unverifiable accusations roaming about.
I think he calculated that he needs to keep it clean in regards to hearsay with this.
