Hating you a little bit right now.
(It’s the hunger talking — and yes, I did see that each course linked to something…)
It’s easy to see why Sunday night dinner can last hours. I don’t think I could survive it.
Every time the spousal unit and I go to our cousins in Normandy, we eat for Canada.
Dear Ted Cruz,
Please don’t make me like you. Thank you.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen
Blind squirrel, and so forth.
I’m sure the feeling will pass quickly enough.
1) Was at first confused
2) Moused-over links
3) Sudden realization of how clever this was
4) Thought to self, “well, I’ll be dipped in shit.”
LOL!
Thought to self, “well, I’ll be dipped in shit.”
?
“dipped in shit”
Didn’t we discuss a few days ago that this would have been from the German menu and also costs extra?
Bloomy rind with salumi? *Sigh* Money can’t buy class.
Call me a “rebel”. And the salumi was homemade, so it wasn’t even made by an Italian.
You can make salami?
Are you a wizard?
It’s actually not that difficult. If you can make sausage, there are now products you can use for salumi that allows you to age it in the fridge.
I would read the shit out of that article if you wrote it up. *hint, hint*
The top pic looks very good. They all do.
Thanks. The last three are not mine but the rest are.
I should be deep in pork belly in a week or so. Can’t wait to do some more bacon!
Have you ever cured a ham?
No, I haven’t. I don’t have the refrigerator space.
They’re usually pretty dead by that point, so curing ain’t gonna happen.
BOOOOOO!
Don’t listen to him. (((Vegetarians))) don’t know anything about pork products.
I have. A small one using a pork loin (so basically Canadian Bacon).

I make ham from the piggies I hunt. Best ham ever.
The food looks delicious but the links are giving me indigestion.
Most of them do, these days.
That’s what the Grappa is for, amico mio!
Great concept and execution on the links, Spud! Much appreciated.
That robot dog brings back the chilling memories of the Black Mirror episode with the killer, relentless robot dogs guarding a toy warehouse.
For me it got creepy when the thing started going down the stairs backwards.
To me it just reminded me of the spider walk from the Exorcist.
I was gonna link that, decided against it.
I’ve only seen the last three episodes.
This makes me nostalgic for the weeks after I got back from my first extended trip to Italy. I think that transformed our cooking from fussy French to country Italian. The big guy who used to cook for us in Walnut Creek completed that transition.
Pains me to say this, but nice job on the links. Other than the one I already had this morning.
I don’t bother looking at your links anymore.
Charles did good stuff for us. I never ate at his place in Santa Rosa, but it never had great ratings.
I don’t bother looking at your links anymore.
Lips get tired by the end?
Charles was cool. I remember him inadvertently telling us we were taking things too far when he came over to our table one evening to see what wines we brought, picked up the Vouvray, and commented, “Oh, the ’57 again.”
I’m hoping that in your new job you will be able to afford some newer wines and no longer have to settle for those old leftover bottles.
It could be far worse. My dad picked up a box of wine today: Pink Moscato.
I believe I can top that. I’ve seen a bunch of billboards in my local area from Three Olives trumpeting their new vodka flavor.
Rose Vodka
The tagline is: “Yes, we’re geniuses”.
Spud and I bought piles of that particular wine because it was stupid cheap for what it was, and absolutely delicious.

Apropos of “Ted Cruz shuts down Vox journalist” @ Dolce (https://www.theblaze.com/news/ted-cruz-shuts-down-vox-journalist)
What with the beard and all I wonder if this is an impostor Ted Cruz, maybe a Ted Cruz from another dimension. Whatever alternate universe this one came from, I like him.
Tasty lynx, Spud.
Got a recipe for the aperitivo?
I pickle my Jalapenos escabeche style. Those are stuffed with cream cheese and shrimp. Half a piece of Oscar Meyer bacon is wrapped and toothpicked(OM because it’s the thinnest on the market). Smoke at 250 for about 30 minutes and then finished in a 400* oven to crisp the bacon. takes about 12-15 minutes.
Grazie!
I do the same thing with a raw jalapeño, sans the shrimp. Its totally Keto.
The favorite name I’ve read is “Atomic Buffalo Turds”.
I would think buffalo turds would be bigger.
Off to make bacon wrapped bell peppers….
Just got back from the farm stand with produce for dinner. While I was there, I was repeatedly inconvenienced by a family of four rather portly black folks who would continually block every aisle I wanted to go through. They ended up in front of me at the cash register, and delayed things even more by handling and examining every POS item on that counter.
All was forgiven when the older guy in the group (likely the dad) held the door open for me as I was leaving and I saw he had a hat on that said, “The Second Amendment Protects the First.”
Damn, other than the heat, I’m liking Arizona.
I have a (((question))), OMWC. Would you happen to know ant good resources that spell out dos and don’ts of orthodox Judaism? My girlfriend was just hired by a private Jewish high school, and she has to follow orthodox dress codes and the like, so I’ve been trying to find info on that for her. She tried asking the rabbi that runs the school, but he goes on so many tangents when he explains anything she ended up more confused.
Pictured.
Rhywun beat me to the snark. And there are many strains of Orthodoxy, each of which has slightly different rules. I’d start by consulting Chabad.
I’m going to hell.
I guess that means I shouldn’t be sitting in my recliner in my underwear.
It’s unsettling to think how many people, including Santa Claus, might be watching invisibly while you rub one out.
What, no more Porky Piggin’ it? God’s such a hard-ass.
Thanks, I’ll read through it. The rabbi told her not to worry about it to much, he expects her to mess up at first. As long as it isn’t too far off the mark he’ll let her know what to correct and he won’t consider it a big deal, but that didn’t do much to ease her anxiety. I told her to wear a black saree with a shawl to cover her arms, but she just punched me.
Get her a catholic short skirt school girl uniform. Even if that won’t work for work it is an opportunity to get her a catholic school girl uniform. It’s religious!
Your jib, sir. I like the cut of it.
She still has, and fits in, her catholic uniform from her senior year.
Dammit, I’m still hungry. Or hangry. Both. Whatever.
I have no idea how this comment (which was supposed to be brand-spankin’-new) got nested here.
WTF?!?
Go on…
So… pics?
Nope. She’s a touch paranoid and would skin me in a fashion that would make SP and her rusty can lid collection proud if I did. However, I did trick her into a glib meetup, so her existence as a female, minority, libertarian that is inexplicably dating me can be confirmed.
Pics or didn’t happen.
Mmm. Antipasto.
Yeah but when to they serve the covfefe?
“Hamas Caucus” is pretty clever. Well trolled, sir.
At the bottom of the not fake burger Burger King article. Interesting.
I’m rather ashamed to admit that I pulled something similar with a woman I briefly dated over 25 years ago. I was flirting with veganism at the time, and we were at a Giants baseball game. I told her I was going to the concession stand to get a tofu dog, and asked if she wanted anything. She was always so infuriatingly eager to please, so of course she said “I want a tofu dog too!”
I knew she wouldn’t like it, so I secretly substituted a polish sausage for her. She loved it, and said over and over how she had no idea tofu could be so yummy.
I don’t think we saw each other after that and I didn’t have the chance to tell her of the ruse. I wonder if she ever ordered a tofu dog afterwards, and was surprised at the difference. But perhaps she ascribed it to things always tasting better at ballgames.
Damn, I don’t think even I would do that.
Yeah, as I said I regret it now, I had a weird streak way back then I thankfully grew out of. But she wasn’t a vegetarian, that was to be the first time she ever tried a meat substitute, and it was only because I was having it that she wanted to get one too.
If she’s anything like me (pretty much lifetime vegetarian), she would have found out a few minutes later. In a spectacularly messy way.
I will respect peoples food choices, while reserving the right to mock them if I disagree with them.
Do you slipped her the old polish sausage ?
I didn’t know you were Polish .
A story from people I know: A girl married a Polish guy with a very long last name that has more consecutive consonants than God ever intended. Her father was giving a speech at the wedding and kicked it off with, “How do you know your daughter is gonna get something long and hard on her wedding night? She married a Polish guy!”
How many is that?
/has four and it’s a German Swiss name.
*laughs in Welsh*
Ffllrhrhllffffy.
She married Carl Brutananadilewski?
Substitute sausage. No wonder the relationship ended.

And what if it is? Want an ode to your worldview? Knock yourself out Carlos.
Well, I waited around all morning for Sadbeard or any sensitive otherkin in thick-rimmed glasses to replace the ballast in the closet light, box in the exposed plumbing in the bathroom, or change the parking brake shoes on my truck, but, alas, by noon I realized I was on my own. My wife and toddler daughter were out buying vegetable platters for her sister’s baby shower rather than caulking the tub or descaling the hot water lines. Oh well. Toxic masculinity to the rescue once again, I guess.
So the question is
“Is it a cynical ploy for clicks, or are the lunatics really running the site?”
I honestly couldn’t care less what other people do with their PeePee’s. It isn’t my business and I want to keep it that way. Really, what kind of crazy sits around worrying about what other people do in the bedroom or what other people think about what other people do behind closed doors?

I am sure that was covered in some links some time that I missed, but I had a conversation with a friend who works for them awhile back. She took the position of, “Well, if bakers don’t have to bake gay cakes”. I agree with both the you gun sellers can’t use our product and also you bakers don’t have to bake gay cakes but then again I believe in freedom of association. I am not sure that blanket belief is shared by the Salesforce CEO.
Yeah, I seriously doubt Skippy McSalesforce or whatever his name is has a live-and-let-live attitude towards gun owners based on his public remarks.
We went out to give the new local bbq joint a try. I’ll give them a gentleman’s C.
Burnt ends sucked balls.
Pulled pork passable.
Chorizo actually good.
Green beans were fresh and tasty.
Drinks ok.
They’ve only been open 4 weeks. We might go back and give them a second try, but it’s hard when there is a guaranteed top tier bbq joint just a little farther in the opposite direction.
We have a nice joint out here in Vegas..John Mulls Meats and Road Kill Grill.
Thats on the menu for my bday bash this year.
You’re not far from me if I remember correctly; what place was this?
Jesse’s bbq in Souderton is top tier. Go there and enjoy. The burnt ends are usually ready by 3:30.
Tom’s all American in Quakertown is the “C”.
Jesse’s is fantastic, thanks for the prior recommendation. Too bad about Tom’s, but I don’t go to Quakertown very often anyways.
*bows*
Glad to help. Big Bob’s bbq pit is quite good too.
https://bloomingglencatering.com/bbq-pit
Be sure to try some pig wings.
We’ve got some pretty good barbecue joints here. Although some of the best pulled pork I’ve had is the stuff I pulled out of the deep freeze.
@Spud
The first two pics look delicious. The rest is too carby for me, well…not the salad, but salad is barely food.
Typically, the Primo course is some form of pasta. Lettuce that was growing ten minutes ago made me look at salad in a new light. We eat salads for about three months in the spring as the dinner veggie.
Spudalicious: If you ever make it to Cleveland, I’ll treat you to Mabel’s.

I saw that one the other day. Not quite sure what the point was.
“Pointing out oppression, raising consciousness, is women’s strategy for getting out from under the patriarchy. ”
And then replacing it with a centralized, top-down authoritarian system? Sounds an awful lot like a patriarchy to me.
But it’s their patriarchy! That makes it so. much. better.
I haz confuz – I thought they were all about Top Men.

I pray you’re right, but it’s still early days.
I wake up in a cold sweat some nights thinking that the Idiot Spawn (AKA The Hair That Walks Like A Man™) will get re-elected up here in The Great White North and we’ll have another five years of Woke Federalism. If that happens, I wouldn’t be surprised if Alberta does a UDI, followed by a civil war.
**HEAVY SIGH**
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Alberta does a UDI”
We’ll take Alberta.
Damn straight—no way they beat us at darts.
I can’t keep up with Canadian politics but I do see things happen there that are utterly repulsive to me. I get the notion that a lot of Canadians feel the same way.
As for the house…we have Pelosi, Speaker of the House, second in line to replace the President, with crazy eyes spouting gibberish about tossing the president in prison for no named offense or crime. She is essentially the head of a party that stands for the destruction of the rule of law and a slew of policies that are nearly unrecognizable from those of the Soviet Union. It is insanity and if I was a betting man my money would be on them losing the house and they are damned sure going to lose the presidential race. I am tempted to say we are watching the death of their party, one that is overdue.
She’s just grasping at straws. She can’t call for impeachment because it will fail and it will draw attention to her party’s scandal. She can’t remain silent because her rabid minions demand something. Thus, “lock him up”.
I may be giving too much credit but it seems even the rabid minions would ask “On what charge?”
“Whatever it takes.”
Ya, you are giving too much credit. I know people who honestly still believe Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. Not due to evidence, but faith. TDS has became a religion.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
I wish, but half the country is programmed with TDS and ‘everyone to the right of Mao is a Nazi” so, sadly, no, I don’t see it.
And I suspect TDS is leading to electoral fraud that we don’t even know about, and that’s gonna be worse in 2020. You see Dem operatives already laying the “Trump will cheat somehow!!” groundwork to explain his win in 2020, even as they do amaaaazingly better in the House and “popular vote”.
Overstatement?
https://pjmedia.com/trending/arguments-for-abortion-mimic-the-arguments-for-slavery-before-the-civil-war/
Babies that don’t want to be aborted are just suffering from drapetomania.
No
Blanket statement, maybe not overstatement. Not all arguments in favor of abortion remaining legal in some fashion are predicated on dehumanizing the fetus or baby (depending on your perspective or preference). Part of the problem with the abortion debate is that both sides tend to characterize the most extreme versions of each other as the norm. Most pro-choice people don’t have abortion parties; most pro-life people don’t want miscarried babies to remain in the womb until delivered naturally.

My 5 yo grandson wanted to play with my flashlight. Rather than let him have a completely free hand to drop it in the couch cushions lost, still turned on I took him outside at night and let him shine it around. The instinctive fear of the boogeyman got him after a minute or so when he realized he was outside in the dark more or less in the middle of nowhere. He said he was afraid.
“You don’t have to be afraid. I am the scariest thing out here. If anything comes up here it will see us and run away.”
He spent another hour or so exploring the nighttime world and yes, he ended up killing the batteries anyway.
In our lifetime, sure, I agree. With the miniaturization we’ll see in the future combined with the technology becoming more affordable, the possibility of technologies that are similar to this one spinning out of control are concerning.
The technology of connecting the human body/mind with machines is also advancing. Before killer robot dogs come after me I will be able to pick one of them up and tie their legs into knots.

I might be too drunk to get it, but sometimes a beard is just facial hair because some of us are too lazy to shave.This guy doesn’t think so.
“But the wholesale injection of facial hair into the American mainstream by veterans, law enforcement, and conservatives also fuels a familiar joyful cultural urge toward dominion and power.”
Or you’re a guy that gets shaving bumps.
Yeah, all those beards in the 60’s and 70’s were expressions of dominion and power. SMH.

I’ve had a Hayesian walrus mustache, and I’ve got to say the level of inconvenience is out of hand. They used to make tea/coffee cups with little ledges on them to keep your ‘stache out of the drink. It’s ridiculous. Forget soup, you’re not eating anything with sauce, warm cheese, grease, dampness of any kind. Hello sandwich my old friend, if you see what I mean.

I’m sorry. I need to disagree here. My beard is oiled at least once a day, balmed twice a week, and washed several times a week (depending on what I’ve been eating). It’s combed and brushed daily.
*HIPSTER ALERT*
I’m far too old to be a hipster. It’s also only a mustache going into a goatee.
I run an electric trimmer across my face once a week. Stubble is the optimum look & feel for me.

I don’t think he’s too far off on his thesis. I have made a similar observation in the past. Military chic has driven so much of fashion that we don’t even recognize wristwatches, trenchcoats, and neckties (as examples just off the top of my head) as all items that once signaled “military”.
I thought the lack of facial hair was due to the military? It was a bad idea to have beards in the trenches in WWI?
Then there was the time when men with long hair was associated with royalism and aristocracy.
Oh and didn’t Spencer think that sports was dangerous militarism?
Fashion changes, as does the military. “Operator chic” is now a thing.
+1 ringy-dingy
Oh.. not that operator..?
There is no doubt “operator chic” is a thing the same as the word “operator” became a thing. Bearded men being badass is not a new thing though. In some places in the US it has always been a thing. I myself don’t like the feel of a beard so I shave.
That’s why the Roman soldiers started shaving, supposedly. A long beard in hand to hand combat would be a disaster.
If you’re talking about Herbert Spencer… I recall him writing that pugilism (boxing and other fighting sports) were barbaric due to the need to physically harm the opponent in order to win.

I am confused. How do we know how much to pay trannies playing in women’s sports? We should have some kind of sliding scale thingy like a slide rule that calculates intersectional intersections and collisions and what-not.
That would look like some wacked sour Rube Golberg machune.
I’m watching some of the ladies’ World Cup but the focus on that issue – much more prominent this time around – is insufferable.
Again, butts in seats. If your stadium isn’t even sold out – and the ones I saw today were not – you don’t have a leg stand on.
Hahahaha! This fucking guy…

Speaking of robots… my wife and I watched I Am Mother on Netflix last night and it was pretty good. A little predictable, maybe, but very well done. I expect the director will get the nod on a big budget movie out of it.
Watched it tonight. It was ok. Certainly a better Terminator movie than any Terminator movie since T2.
I don’t know about that, Ex Machina was damn good.
I was pleasantly surprised with Ex Machina.
I need to watch that again. I remember enjoying it.
Ex Machina is a Terminator movie?
It depends, how many kills does it take to qualify?
Ok is my feeling too. I was underwhelmed.
It kept me interested, which in this day and age, not many films do, and, um that? (You can see why I’m not a film critic)
I just watched Dunkirk (with John Mills) and 36 Hours (with the great John Banner). I’m obviously not in the target market for modern films.
Yeah, after the Dark Kinigit Rises I vowed never to see anything from Nolan, then I wound up watching that stupid dream movie and doubly vowed.
Heh, Inception? I dig that one. I’d rather watch that than Batman anything. I liked Memento and Interstellar. No interest in anything else he did.
Momento was good. Batman Begins was good…that’s a short list for someone who’s been directing for over 20 yrs. (Inception was terrible, didn’t even bother with interstellar)
Enh it gets a little sappy but FWIW I wasn’t bored for a second. Plus the soundtrack is amazing. Also, Michael Caine. And Ellen Burstyn.
No love for Insomnia or The Prestige?
Me? They don’t pique my interest.
The Prestige was better when Ingmar Bergman did it as ‘The Magician‘ Insomnia was a terribly edited film.
Really? Of course I’d probably watch Stellan Skarsgård read listings from the phone book.
Will he complete it though? Or hill he end up like Josh Trank or Gareth Edwards or Colin Trevorrow?
Also, I found it interesting that the children that were killed by Mother were labeled as ‘aborted’. I mean, probably just trying to be science-fictiony, but…
Yeah, that caught my eye too.

Gillespie is still on the libertarian moment train (despite not using that term) while at the same time bemoaning the end of free speech and the surveillance which seem to contradict his own thesis but whatever.
Anyway the whole idea that we have to think about the future and not the past and how culture is constantly changing and renewing themselves yet the same basic values will remain unchanged has never really been explained.
Sad Fonzie is just that.
Knowing your Wisconsinism, thought that was going to link to Milwaukee’s Bronze Fonzie.
Milwaukee really isn’t Wisconsin, it’s northern Ilinoise. I don’t think they had even built ‘the Bronze Fonz’ last time I cared to venture all the way down there.
Covered already? BY THE NIGHT OF NOV. 8, 2016, Mr. Cain’s transformation was complete.
I haven’t seen that and the melodramatic presentation of whatever that is about is an instant turn-off. What’s it about?
I saw Tim Pool talking about it. Evidently, the last picture that remained after all the other commentators faded out was Phillip Defranco. Now it’s Molyneux and Southern. Guess they changed it.
I don’t know what any of that means.
I’m not kidding when I say that can’t wade through that NYT crap to get to the point.
YouTube changed their algorithm to get more views. NYT is lamenting the fact that people are watching more videos and that it is causing lost boyz to become radicalized. The article isn’t prescriptive (that’s coming soon, to be sure). It’s just pointing out that YT is brainwashing kids to make a buck.
Ahh… I see where he went wrong.
I don’t watch YT videos other than music.
Defranco? That is hilarious! Especially considering that people would screech “COSMO!” at him if he ever posted his views here.
You just don’t get it.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D8jYDQZXUAEEMwR.jpg:large
It’s cute that you think the NYT aren’t a bunch of scumbags that want to label all opposition as neo-Nazis to justify them being purged.
The fuck? I can see why the stupid fucks would put a picture of Milton Friedman in their collage of “scary right wing racist video people” but BIG MAN TYRONE? Are you fucking kidding me?
I think that one is your fault. They tracked him here, to the place where all terrorists are born.
Who would have thought the paper of Walter Duranty might not be honest?
It’s one thing to deny a genocide, sir, but the slander of Big Man Tyrone is a BRIDGE TOO FAR!
And he lasts longer than Friedman on the screen. Doesn’t NYT like that poem, “First they came for…”?
They’re just jelly he has a bigger audience than they do.
Big Man Tyrone’s a damn fine nonwhitesupremacist fellow. The hell with the normies,
Maybe he should watch some videos on properly carrying a firearm. Or how to operate it.
What a shitty article layout.
“Death threats”
This phrase is pretty much a piece of filler now.
TLDR so skimmed and what the fuck ever. Seriously these people see racism in any point of view that is not the same as theirs.
Overton window.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/08/technology/youtube-radical.html
The notion that YouTube is right-wing is just silly.
That’s the same link, no?
Yes, I just trimmed a foot of seo bullshit and tracking crap off the end.

Is “social tolerance” possible? Is there ever been or while ever be a society that tolerates people it finds loathsome? Right now we supposedly can’t tolerate neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Ostracising people whom you find loathsome is an “intolerant society”. Well what if they deserve and they undermine society? Well past “intolerant” people felt the same way about the people they hated as well.
Beer?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.macleans.ca/opinion/what-the-debate-around-indigenous-genocide-says-about-canada/amp/
What I like about these “Canada is a genocidal, colonial and imperalist country” articles is how no one really seems to question the existence of the Canadian federal government, “Canadian values” or the Liberal Party. Convenient that.
Erm why should it? And if Canada is a genocidal entity created by European imperialism why on earth should “all its peoples” accept it and why should it continue to exist?
To write the checks, of course.
Ah Suthenboy finds the answer!
“…a thorough conversation about reparations…”
It is almost as if these conversations always come down to money.
Those Indians will stop huffing gas if we give
the chiefsthem more free shit.Also this brings a serious flaw in the whole “Liberal Democratic World Order is wonderful” argument since it was built up by those toxic privileged imperialist white men whom we are all supposed to hate.
For those who need more reasons to hate police unions. The Cleveland Police Department is trying to rehire the cuntpickle who shot Tamir Rice.
And fuck Steve Loomis with a gods damned woodchipper.
So Cleveland doesn’t rock then?
Too bad the only crossover between killing the kid was bad and unions are bad are by the people everyone loves to hate. *DANCES OFF STAGE*
Jesus.
If they hire him back, they deserve riots.
“Remain fired”. Lol. Yes, he should remain fired at least.
No, he should continue to be fired. Out of a cannon, rifle, shotgun, pistol, or whatever he will fit into.

Huh. When the raptors entered the league my little brother was a fan because he liked Jurassic Park, never knew that meant he was racist…
Black male who is fiercely individualistic
*skeptical gaze*
To be clear, it’s not because hes black or male, it’s the juxtaposition of collectivist categorization next to “fiercely individualistic”
“Why did you get that tattoo?”
“To express my individuality. …..Just like everyone else.”

Anyway, she needs to release a sex tape with Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttgas needs to blow Cory Booker live on stage.
They left out the appropriate ending sentence….”Had this not occurred in the Senate, all three women would most likely be facing defamation lawsuits that they would lose”.
They also left out the in-vogue phrase with the media these days, “without evidence”.
AKA, “The Boof Crew”

NO ONE GIVES A FUCK
That’s embarrassing.
Not “Moby” level embarrassing but cringy. Really cringy.
Serious honest to god question, what the fuck is an asexual? How can that even be? Is she a being that can reproduce with herself like a sea cucumber or some shit?
Doesn’t like sex and/or has no sex drive.
I have a couple people on my feed in my prog life who claim that they’re asexual, and celebrate Pride because of it, and I always sort of grit my teeth in a smile. Because well, none of my business, and so I never say anything. But tbh, given what else these women say, I am pretty much 100% convinced it’s not a (lack of ) sexual orientation, so much as it’s a medical problem (depression, hormonal imbalance, medications) leading to a loss of sex drive. And really, by convincing themselves it’s a fundamental facet of their nature, they’re not looking into the idea that it’s a symptom.
And hey, you get a flag, so why would you even want to be a boring het girl?
It means she has no interest in sex, which you need to celebrate with her the next time she drives you somewhere.
Alternately, it’s what Morrissey pretended to be for decades while keeping a girlfriend and more recently a boyfriend on the DL.
I’m sure that’s one of the genders.

I’ve been stepping on my own dick in the comments lately. I really should tuck it through a couple of belt loops or alternatively, refrain from drunk posting.
Or whatevs.
Drunk posting is something we’ve all done.
*waggles brows*
If only
Would you believe all my lame posting has been sober?
do I really want you answering that…..?
Some folk are better served by sobriety. I for one resist that notion. How else could I ever get laid so much in my teens and twenties? It was one house party that sent me over the edge when I was 15.
Yeah, and my “best drunk” was when i was getting certified as an Intoxilyzer operator, back in ‘04. I could quantify my BAC!
I suppose I’m too much of a control freak to like inebriation very much. I guess that makes it “self-control freak”?
/life of the party here
I was a straight-edger up until that point but the older cooler kids liked me. Who knew that teen-aged girls were just as horny as I was? My brother used to chase me down the street on the way to the bus stop, trying to make me smoke weed with him. Called me all manner of names. “Parentnoid” was a go-to. Ugh.
“Parentnoid“
Da Fuq?
Well, good on you if you found willing teenage girls. They musta been on a really long break when it was my time.
I know your pain.
It was more or less make out sessions until a year or so later but by that time I was well practiced in the arts.
Look at his braggart over here!
/this guy….this guy fucks!
Surprisingly long-term virgin. Then I went at it with a vengeance. Not my proudest moments.
Ugh… So, I worked my usual overnight Friday shift, came home, mowed the lawn, made pancakes for the kids, went to take a wee nap at 11am and have just now awakened – 16+ hours later.
OT – this might be the dumbest thing y’all read today – https://ny.eater.com/2019/6/3/18644453/sober-shaming-nyc-restaurants-alcohol-recovery
I left New Orleans as a bartender who got drunk nearly every night. Upon arrival in NYC, I found that regular bar prices are what one would expect to pay in a strip club in NOLA ($8 bottle of Heineken, $11 shot of Maker’s Mark) so I quit drinking for a little more than a decade. I have never, not even once, been made to feel bad or been treated in any way poorly because I wasn’t consuming alcohol with my meal. I don’t know what this lady is on about.
“I’ll take thing that happened in the author’s fever dreams” for $200, Alex.
Yeah, I’m highly skeptical. At best she caught someone having a bad day. No way this is a common occurrence.
Maybe the waitress wants to run the tab up for a bigger tip but nobody “shames” someone for not wanting to drink after about high school age.
Unless your name is Russ Barnes – https://youtu.be/8C4TGGtPzBU
Nuh-uh, you lame-o!!
“I found the paper-clips. Everything’s alright now!”
I love the, “Next time, no giggling” line. KitH is, for me, the gift that keeps giving, in that I haven’t seen them all( or, just have a bad memory), so, I keep finding skits I’ve never seen before.
Also, I fear that would be me having a girl drink drunk. (Cue Price is Right loser music).
It was appointment TV for me and Wifey#1 when it first aired. Saturday Night (when it was funny) and then KITH. Smoke a skinny and relax for a couple of hours and later fun-time. I don’t miss her that much but she was sharp and cranky. Aside from her political beliefs she would be a fine, upstanding Glib.
BTW, is it just us commenting at this point?
I imagine HS is lurking.
Well, tell her to get her ass out here! We got late-nite glibbing to do!
Note that I said Wifey#1. She would hate us with the heat of a thousand scorned women. Wifey#2 I keep well away from Glibaria, she’s wholesome.
Man I miss Kids in the Hall.
I miss you guys when I get home from work because time zones but always know that Festus is there, watching…waiting…
Ahhh! Good company.
Also: L’chaim! (Having my first beer in…a year, give or take)
Just as long as you’re not plotting.
Chicken Lady is one of my all time faves. “They said he was scarred… Scarred for life! “
That’s quite a layoff SD. Enjoy.
IObot, I’m crushing your head!
“Fresh from my body, on to your plate!” Yes, ‘she’ was awesome.
Also, hiya, lobot.
Howdy, M’lud.
“Fresh outta my body and right onto your plate!”
Chafed—I had more than one doctor say not to drink/forego alcohol when I was starting to try to find out about this damned tingling in my feet. I have done so, for the most part, somewhat afraid that it was all about drug interaction.
I now feel it had more to do with diet/carbs, and so I am trying the lo-carb Corona. Not too shabby, for my tastes.
Have y’all seen the other series from the KITH folk? Kids In The Hall: Death Comes To Town? I really liked it.
Watched the first episode and then got busy. We didn’t have DVR back then but we should probably give it another whirl.
D’t know that I ever heard of it. I”ve seen Brain candy, and, it’s possible I’ve seen this mentioned somewhere. But, no—never saw it. will check out.

Q, does your home smell of exotic body lotions? I envision an abode that is best described as, “swanky”. A place where an unfortunate boner isn’t quite so unfortunate. Well, either that, or, a place where wearing sweatpants is almost required.
Could go either way, really.
Welp, Q is up. Now, I am, too….
#1 Oh dear Lord…
OK, so, CPRM said I hould write an article about wearing one of hi H&H sirts out in public, once I get them. It’s been weighing heavy on my mind, and, I think I will do so, but for one small problem…
I’m a Glib,
I’m not a very social person—especially with the general public. therefore, I can’t see having any real interactions when wearing either of them. Of course, what I don’t want is to get treated like I’m wearing a MAGA hat, which isn’t that much of a concern. But, I don’t really go anywhere where I can be reasonably assured that I will have people comment on it. I got little bit of that when I wore my “Bob Ross’ Hamburgers” t-shirt last week, but, that was at a car dealership. So, hat’s not really an option….
So what the hell do I do, in order to have anything worth a damn to write about? Any (realistic) suggestions?
How’s about an article about being one of the only sober Glibs? I don’t comment here unless I’m half in the bag. What’s it like to have that level of confidence?
And nowhere near the funny that you bring to the table.
S, figure in that I’m NOT under the influence when I wear one?
Might just work…
So*
Cheezus n’ rice…
“Confidence”! He thinks this is confidence….
Don’t go changin’, Festus.
Also, the hell is going on with this keyboard?!? CPRM is right about this bluetooth shit…
I guess I’ll actually have to start looking at what I’m typing….
I’m a hunter/pecker. Just got a smart phone a few months ago and you should see what my Cro Magnon thumbs come up with.
O, same here. The ipad should be better….and, I guess it is, to a small degree.
But, yeah—no. No posting from my phone, if I can help it.
“O”….
Am I actually missing keys, here? I’m just gonna blame Apple from now on. Great way to save face in front of my intellectual equals*.
*yeah, that COULD be a joke, but, it isn’t—I’m here to learn from you wretches.
I don’t post from my phone and the only person that I text with (or even has the #) is Wifey. I use the phone pretty much so I can watch YouTube videos while I take a dump.
Are you surprised or just happy to see me?
Ys, my phone is for looking shit up online, and maybe some shopping, since that has somewhat become my thing. And, yeah YT dumps.
Also, why can’t it be both? A “happy surprise”, as it were.
People used to keep a magazine rack beside the shitter and I never understood why until I got older. It was “dump and jump” until I hit 50. Now it takes some time and finesse.
I’ve always kept reading material in the domestic library. Maybe that’s it—I’m older than I my age.
When I was much younger, I created the concept of “toilet karaoke”. A machine (pre-tabletl/smart phone) that you could take into the crapper and practice your singing.
It woulda looked like a Vextrex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex), but with a color screen and a mic attached (of course).
This is what you’re dealing with, here, Festus, et al.
Well that is precisely the sort of obscurity that I would expect from such a well regarded Glib such as yourself. Huzzah!
“Well-regarded”?
Well played, I say. Well played, indeed.
/I may actually be blushing. But, that could also be from Q’s links.
When I was younger, I enjoyed long, leisurely constitutionals; a nice book, a smoke, a cup of coffee and some quiet time. Now that I suffer the same affliction as poor Mr. Nobby Giles, the Dr. advises I spend as little time as possible on the commode.
“Flotch!” Poor Nobby!
That is unfortunate, lo. Sorry to hear that. I would say that I hope everything comes out OK, but…well, you know.
Of course, I don’t think I’ve taken refreshments in with me, other than water (maybe).
It’s getting late here, and I think most everyone else has buggered off. Which, of course, allows those of us remaining to engage the toilet talk.
Good times. The best. Very classy.
That’s been my routine for forty years. A cuppa, two smokes and a cleanse.
“When you’re a late-nighter you can just grab ’em by the potty-mouth”.
Well! My question-post has really taken….a turn.
It’s taken something, alright.
Just tried watching Tabitha (a 1977 sequel to Bewitched wherein Tabs and her brother are witches, but also reporters in San Francisco). Couldn’t get into it so I’m on to one of the best Carey Grant films – Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Myrna Loy = hubba, hubba!
Yes! Myrna Loy! *Homer gargle*

Hey, just look at it this way, TH—scroll up a little bit, and you can see the conversational bullet you dodged.
Poor Festus and lobot survived, but, they are poorer for it. So, enjoy the java, and smoke one for them.
