Climate change has wreaked such havoc on the planet that it rained here on the first day of Summer.
The forecast is mucho street tacos.

My guess is this has a snowball’s chance in Gaza.
No food dates until they put out, or invite them over for dinner.

Mmmmm, meat.
“American are eating less red meat”
Fake news.
Also… bacon is cheap? That’s news to me.
Cheaper than fake meat.
And I’m glad you bought CV!
Yeah, long overdue really.
I haven’t calculated lately but when I price bacon I price cooked bacon, not raw. After it is cooked, last time I looked, it was about 25$ per pound.
Not cheap.
But worth it!
Same as crawfish as you know Suth.
Three dollars or so a pound but $30 or$40 for the meat.
I’ll stick with fresh blue crab I trap myself over crawdads and lobster.
And I actually like it better
Crawfisk
H are simply a social fad for those who live off the bayou and swamps who catch their own like I do with crab.
I imagine crawfisk as something Pope Jimbo would come up with if he migrated to Louisiana.
uffdat
I read this as “crackfish” and thought, man I gotta get a whole bunch of that stuff!
bacon is cheap?
The most expensive part of a well-rounded breakfast. But it’s worth it.
You don’t drink scotch at breakfast?
?
So sorry.
Guinness*, on occasion (weekend/vaca). So I guess that is a bit more expensive than bacon.
*But is there Guinness in my coffee or coffee in my Guinness?
Pound per pound, I’d say Guinness is less expensive than cooked bacon.
Wait, where did you get that pic of me pointing at your glass?
That’s the model for Zippy the Pinhead.
I actually had a microcephalic patient in the ER once, many years ago. Looked exactly like that. All that was missing was the ribbon on the top of the head.

Prostitution is illeagal but in reality, guys spend more money on drinks or food just to get laid using a middleman (bartender/server) for sex.
Pimps preform a valuable service.
But not an easy one.
But a fun one.
You guys are going to too nice of a restaurant or waiting too long to seal the deal.
Alternatively, prostitutes are far cheaper than I’ve been led to believe.

Heh, heh Ted. He’s my second.
I guessed correctly. Great song!
Just because I want to push some buttons: It is better than the original.
Fight me. Again.
*can’t manage to fight due to excessive bursts of laughter*
I will defend Nickback’s first two albums, nothing beyond.
I don’t give a shit what album that came off of, it’s a good cover. And I don’t even really like them a whole lot.
Yeah, no. It’s rare for a cover to be better than the first. This one is, however.
Are you fucking kidding me? Frampton using a 40+ year old guitar gimmick in place of one of the best ever voices in R&R? Hard pass.
Now I really do want to fight.
Is it still a cover when the original artist says the new one now owns the song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc
Johnny Cash can do no wrong ( well, except that one time he burnt down the whole forest while tripping.)
OK. Now I don’t want to fight anymore.
And honestly, I think that forest had it coming. Did you see all the flammable things it just left laying round?
This is a better Black Hole Sun cover than Frampton.
LOL. I’m with you on the “vocoder” or whatever it is, but at 70 y/o, Frampton rips up that Les Paul way harder than the original.
It’s a talk box, a vocoder is what you hear from Kraftwerk, Newcleus, etc.
A talk box is mechanical. A vocoder is electronic.

It was a really nice day and a lot of fun. The wurst was excellent.
Does anyone else listen to the Mad Dogs and English men podcast? I really enjoy it. I want to know why it ends abruptly every episode. Some times it happens mid sentence. Is there a paid version I don’t know about or is it just bad editing?

“Report: Internet Users Who Call For Attacking Other Countries Will Now Be Enlisted In The Military Automatically
U.S.—A new policy issued by the United States Department of Defense, in conjunction with online platforms like Twitter and Facebook, will automatically enlist you to fight in a foreign war if you post your support for attacking another country.
People who bravely post about how the U.S. needs to invade some country in the Middle East or Asia or outer space will get a pop-up notice indicating they’ve been enlisted in the military. A recruiter will then show up at their house and whisk them away to fight in the foreign war they wanted to happen so badly.
“Frankly, recruitment numbers are down, and we needed some way to find people who are really enthusiastic about fighting wars,” said a DOD official. “Then it hit us like a drone strike: there are plenty of people who argue vehemently for foreign intervention. It doesn’t matter what war we’re trying to create: Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, China—these people are always reliable supporters of any invasion abroad. So why not get them there on the frontlines?”
“After all, we want people who are passionate about occupying foreign lands, not grunts who are just there for the paycheck,” he added.
Strangely, as soon as the policy was implemented, 99% of saber-rattling suddenly ceased.”

Well, I would need a definition for the term “Motel Rat” to make a determination.
Yeah, it sounds like he might want to find another motel.
As usual Rats is a relative definition,
The people who have no home, and deal drugs, hookers, hustlers etc.
I don’t care, our room is nice, and no one fucks with us, let people live, even motel rats….
I love watching them though, they think they are clever,

“The gap between Texas’ Hispanic and white populations continued to narrow last year when the state gained almost nine Hispanic residents for every additional white resident.”
Notice that the writer assumes “the demographics of the state continue to shift against the Republican Party.” I will also comment on “the last go-around” of “redraw[ing] the state’s congressional and legislative maps” “still being litigated in federal court.” I thought the Constitution of the United States of America said that the job belonged to the state legislature. Period.
“The White House on Saturday outlined a $50 billion Middle East economic plan that would create a global investment fund to lift the Palestinian and neighboring Arab state economies, and fund a $5 billion transportation corridor to connect the West Bank and Gaza.” I must have missed the tweet asking for $55,000,000,000 in donations to pay for this. /sarc

Thank you for discovering paragraph separation. I read your posts but they tend to run-on and are hard to parse.
You also might look into converting your links. There are browser add-ons that make formatting easy. Even so, you might want to thing about putting carriage returns before and after your links to highlight them.
Hope this helps. Hobbit

Ya know, I’m not a die-hard Trump supporter, and I would never wear political apparel… But these assholes are making me want to buy a MAGA hat and just wear it everywhere as a big F U.
I make the damn Hat and The Hair cartoon, and these assholes have made me think of voting for that bag of dicks.
FWIW, I don’t understand either the written or visual versions of H&H as being either pro- or anti-Trump.
Which is why I like them.
Yeah, I know I try not to be specifically pro or con, just funny. And SF just interprets the dreams the Elder Gods give him.
as being either pro- or anti-Trump
I like them for that as well. It’s parody that makes fun of the situation without being biased, which I believe is difficult for most people to do.
Back in the late 2000s when I first became politically active and developed something of an ideology, I swore off the two major parties.
But as long as Trump doesn’t start some stupid war or enact some extreme economic intervention, I’m thinking I’m going to vote for him in 2020. I know it sucks to perpetuate the Republican/Democrat duopoly, but I just can’t stomach the thought of a Democratic victory after all the banana republic shit they’ve pulled. The things they’ve done (and the things they want to do) are much worse than anything Trump has done thus far. They must not be validated and encouraged to do that shit any more.
You’re in Ohio, right? Your vote might actually matter.
MY Vote is the only one that matters, that’s why President Gary Joh…wait…what, he didn’t win? I blame Al Leppo!
I certainly am in Ohio – and I take the “swing state” status into consideration.
… It also means we get hammered with political ads more than non-swing states. Fortunately, I never watch TV and I only listen to the local classical station (which has a strict “no politics” rule).
I live in NY – I get zero national political ads.
I live in CA, so it don’t matter what I do, but I don’t think I could pull a lever for the guy despite knowing he’s been the closest to my political leanings thus far. I sometimes vote team red on local stuff, just to lessen the margin for the eventual whackjob blue team schill who wins anyway. I might just abstain in 2020, seeing as how the “L” party looks dead to me.
1 vote never matters in a Pres race. SEE Bush v Gore.
The Mises guys (Woods, Dave Smith, Stapleton etc) joined the LP in order to swing it from the identity politics courting wing. Let’s hope they have some influence and the LP chooses someone worth voting for.
I’m voting for Trump in 2020 because fuck these people.
I, too, am a contrarian of sorts. Dishonest and/or ignorant people like that make me want to don MAGA gear as well. In fact, they are why I voted for the man in the first place, and likely will again. For all his faults, I think his presidency has been a net benefit so far and a step in the right direction with consideration of lower taxes and regulation.
I think the best thing has been how much the Dems have dropped the mask out of sheer outrage. We now have ironclad evidence (backed up by countless videos and articles) that the Left is essentially totalitarian.
Particularly useful was the exposure of the corporate media as nothing more than DNC mouthpieces. A lot of people knew this for decades, but the hacked emails revealed that they are literally colluding behind the scenes to control what information the public receives.

Speaking of pork chops, these guys sell and ship the best frigging pork chops I have ever eaten. Top end restaurant quality pork goodness. Not cheap, but worth it for a treat.
https://grasslandbeef.com/ribeye-pork-chops-16oz
What are their shipping charges like? I find that online meat outfits really nail you there (probably not their fault, but it needs to be considered).
These guys you need to have a 75 buck minimum and then the shipping is 9.50. No sales tax. Their 6oz bone in pork chops also rock. I usually get 150 bucks worth of pork from them at a time. I like to have my freezer full and just pull out meat a day or two ahead of time.
That’s considerably less than other outfits. I’m not a big pork person (except bacon), I assume they have a good beef selection?
Gah their website is a shit-show. I can’t select anything.
Really? I’ve never had a problem with their website. I can’t vouch for their beef as I get mine from Costco. Their pork frigging rocks tho.

Hot take: ham is superior to bacon or sausage when paired with eggs. The latter overwhelm the taste of the eggs, ham is more subtle.
Fight me.
Ham is easier to prepare. But the 1 in 3 or so chance of me getting bacon just right… can’t be beat.
400 degree oven, cold start, start checking around 16 minutes or so.
Yup, I never even bother frying bacon much anymore. It’s all about the bake on 400 on a metal sheet. Check a few times.
I do get the best results in the oven. That’s when brand comes into play. My favorite – which got consistently perfect results – disappeared from my supermarket shelves. ?
I’ve had that ? it’s really good. Thin slice. I like the thick slice Kirkland that you get at Costco as well.
Via that website I found it at a supermarket about 2 subway stops or a lonnnng walk from me. ?
Road trip!
How ’bout a compromise: Canadian bacon, which is cured like bacon but ends up with a texture and ease of preparation like ham.
I frequently do the Canadian bacon recipe from the excellent book Charcuterie, and it’s by far my favorite breakfast meat (besides maybe a ribeye from the local butcher).
There is no need to fight. Irish sausages are the best breakfast meat. There is no other close, although it’s good to also have Irish black pudding and white pudding sausage. You can’t get the real ones in this country, or should I say it is very hard. Italian sausage is the best if you are not in Ireland.
The first picture and, really, the second, makes me think We’re not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe
Hilarious. Eddie, before he got caught with the trannie hooker, was one of the best comedians of all time. My cousin’s drunk Irish uncle took us to see that movie at the drive ins the nite after my grand aunt’s funeral. We were about 10 years old if that, totally inappropriate, but it was the 80’s. I think he swore more on the ride over than Eddie did in the first couple scenes, which is not an easy feat.

Jeez, dude… what a gamma cuck.
Built a display stand for Wifey’s side gig. One down, three to go. Pretty buzzed or I’d keep at it. Immensely happy with the final product so best to quit while I still have both thumbs.
That’s always good advice.

Help the planet – off yourself.
thx
They’re zealots who are determined to make everyone else conform. More than they actually care about the purported goal.

Racist, statist, warmonger, free-trader. Hmm…
I bring this up because the libertarian obsession with Free-Trade seems rather Victorian. I speak of the assumption that it was the panacea for all political, economic and social issues and will stop war. Never mind that the rise of Labour, the decline of classical liberalism and WWI happened decades after the Corn Laws were repealed and that plenty of free-traders have been statist warmongers and plenty of pacifists have been statist protectionists.
I mean if free-trade wasn’t a panacea for Victorian or Edwardian Britain then obviously NAFTA would be forever unchallenged, right?
The issue here is that government controlled and regulated trade, from either side, isn’t really free. It’s like people shitting themselves over Trump with China (the outcome of which remains to be seen) without acknowledging that China has been fucking with the market from their end since time immemorial.
Does that mean Trump is right? Not necessarily. But calling what we had before “free trade” is mendacious.
First of all I wasn’t trying to suggest that Trump’s trade views are “correct” just that our views of “free trade” are flawed. The Repeal of the Corn Laws didn’t stop socialism and David Lloyd-George and Woodrow Wilson hated tariffs yet were scumbags a fact that is often glossed over.
So that means a lot of mendacious people. Most critiques of modern tariffs seem to think we had “Free-trade” before Trump.
And do you think that anywhere has ever had real free-trade?
As for China one issue is that can anyone really trade with China without going through the Government and the party? Don’t they control the ports and the businesses being traded with?
“And do you think that anywhere has ever had real free-trade?”
Between individuals, yes; not between nations.
Socialism is due to irreparable flaws in the human mind and not related to free trade. If humans were actually rational, they’d see that liberty and free trade provided the best overall quality of life to everyone involved. They’re not and they don’t because they (we) are broken and can’t be fixed.

Met my new trainee this morning. Smart, cute and snarky. Drives a Tacoma just like me. Why must you mock me, Satan?
What’s his name?
Paul Allen.
Why, Commodius Spittoon, natch! *winks*
I mentioned last week that there’s a high school girl sharing my cubicle. She’s turned out to be gratifyingly meek and quiet.
“Gratifyingly”. She doesn’t tattle?
I’m trying to get a job there. I can’t have Little Miss Tattletale crying #MeToo just because some creep Bidens her.
You share a cubicle but aren’t working there?
Interning. Hopefully not for much longer.
Got it. Good luck getting hired there.
Where’d errybody go??
Away from You! j/k
I’m here!! Just boiling the moros y cristianos to go with my Cuban beef (FoodWishes recipe; it’s on YouTube).
I’ve got the drunken munchies and I’m ready to chow down on this shit.
When you get triggered by a frigging bell.

The university has yet to decide what to do with the bell.
Make it into chains that you can place on your neck and feet.
Bog-standard destruction of history.
The link inside is way more fun:
That one was fun. They should drill a hole through the rock and make it a rainbow shitter? ?
Good grief… the whole thing is eminently quotable but… my God.
I love how the original article takes you though an endless vortex of similar “smash history!” articles.
Fuuuuuck
Loud and Proud?
It’s Saturday night, boyos. You know what that means. That’s right. It’s Coast to Coast time.
2 hours of youtube? I’d rather watch that French chick break some eggs. Or Sophielien.
For some reason, I like listening to conspiracy/alien shit like that. 99 percent of that is completely unsubstantiated, but I like it for some reason. Maybe it’s a “comfort food” kind of thing; I used to spend a lot of time when I was in my early teens playing Rollercoaster Tycoon late into the night and listening to these kinds of shows.
I like it. It reminds me of X-Files. I don’t believe a word of any of it. But it’s fun listening to people who do.
That show is on 7 days a week in my area. It’s not my cup of tea but if you enjoy conspiracy theories and stories about alien anal probes then knock yourself out.
Back in the 90’s I played drums in a band and used to listen to Art Bell on the AM on the late nite rides home from practices and shows. Fun stuff. Almost 100% bullshit, but high quality and entertaining bullshit.
How do people like this make it through the day?

Does this mean I get to look up all my past boyfriends and pretend we would have “filed jointly”? ?
If someone proposed expunging all convictions for sodomy and any other gayness-specific charges and refunding all associated fines, I might be OK with that.
… But this sounds like a cash handout to all people who come forth and identify themselves as gay. What would stop any straight person from doing that? They could just say they were gay all these years but felt pressured to keep it a secret.
Cue any grifters claiming their roommates entitle them to a payout.
Bit of problem to expect the people creating these reparations programs to actually care about actual justice or healing.
Reparations for higher past taxes to be paid for higher future taxes? Got it.
I ❤️ Eric.
Hahaha, I love the fucking comments. Fuck Eric.
