See if you can spot the recurring theme... Why America needs a hate speech law When I was a journalist,…
Ok that was funny, yugely!
I love the intro. That’s the perfect Hillary visual.
Seconded.
That tongue-bitter. Ha!
Very nice, CPRM. I loved it. Worth every penny I give you.
Nice, but who is the thicc one in the white sexys?
Well, one of you Shitlords made this:

SHUT UP, LIBTARD!
I’ve always been crazy like a fox.
That was beautiful.

This is some Bullshit, I thought patrons got a one time shout out in the credits. I feel dirty and used, I’m going to go cry in the shower.
I didn’t realize I hadn’t recorded anything for the credits until I was finishing up. And your first payment isn’t until the beginning of next month, SO GO FUCK YOURSELF!
Fair enough.
If you aren’t named next Wednesday we’ll sue!
Damn straight, that’s gotta be some kind of slander or market manipulation.
Hateful silence
Bravo!
Never change, Hype.
You don’t have to worry about that.
Always trollin’.
Sorro the gay blade is one of my wife’s favorite movies. She was elated to see it on the marquee in “Joker”.

You’re safe, Gay porn producers appear to have missed the bet, a search for sorro the gay blade turns up nothing.
FIFY
Noice.
I can’t make out the last line the hat says.
“Because you’re not a Great American!”-Sean Hannity
Is that Hillary into a parody of Prince of Darkness dream?
Here is the clip.

We can go with this, makes me sound a lot smarter.
I laughed hard a few times. Great stuff.
“I think their all retarded. Some of them physically as well as mentally. “

The interplay between Trump and his minions… most excellent!
Nicely done. The “physically retarded” comment was directed at OMWC.

Named after the late Phyllis Schlafly, I assume?
This was very good, CPRM. It reminds me of Kyle Dunnigan, and he is a professional comedian.

Game 7
I’m carding it out, of course. My son is a huge Houston homer; I’m a fixed NL man; we’ve watched many games together in that park (more an arena, really).
a/ meh: the season’s over; the championship isn’t remotely as interesting as the season, as the journey
b/ meh: AL home rules
NL is gonna win. Astros are still NL in my brain.
^This. And Brewers are AL damn it.
You mean the Pilots?
Also, hoping the Expos can finally bring a title to Washington.
You aren’t old enough for that one! Hell I am not old enough. I was 16-23 months old.
I think I was born during the one pilots season.
I may not be old enough, but I still consider the Orioles the Browns.
That one Pilots season was brilliantly chronicled by Jim Bouton in Ball Four.

Hold on there, Spud–I find CJ’s lack of avatar to be whimsically funny.
That IS what you were going for…right, CJ?
FUCK THE NATS!
OT:
“He’s No Mr. Nice Guy, but sometimes it takes a Donald Trump to change Washington”
I think that’s a pretty effective campaign message for him. Somebody on his campaign staff has been listening to the voters.
Ok…but change Washington into what?
The Potomac Tidal Swamp?
Something more comfortable?
The correct answer was Devastator.
Germany circa 1939?
Seriously though, it’s a good message because he’s an execrable person. It’s an acknowledgement that the way Trump wins is via the “fuck the establishment, I hate you so much that I’ll vote for this asshole” voters.
That would be me.
Holy cow, that was hilarious!!
Thank you.
Also, Zorro the Gay Blade is one of my all-time obscure favorite movies.
2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a peso.
Thank God for small favors!!
Tell the people Zorro is back! To defend the defenseless! Befriend the friendless! And to defeat…the defeatless!
And that would be no small feat!

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Peugeot maker PSA Group of France have agreed on the terms of a merger that would create one of the world’s largest auto makers by volume with a market value of $48.4 billion
If you thought a Citroën was a certified POS before, wait until you’ve asked Tony to fix it again.
Nash-Kelvinator-Hudson trophy for 2019 is awarded to . . .
Hey, now. I learned to drive in a Peugeot (403), my first new car was a Renault (R10), and we once owned a Citroen (GS Break), and I turned out sort of ok.
The Citroen was a cool little car until it dropped a valve.
And yeah, PSA is basically French for British Leyland.
I had a C8 in Rouen on a project recently: it’s garbage, basically a Pontiac Montana without the class.
college roommate had a yellow LeCar he called Mr French
PSA was the largest customer of the French firm I worked for
Now if only they can get Lucas revived and onboard to handle electrical. They can really set the automotive world on fire.
Don’t call on the prince of darkness!
Citroen DS was an incredible vehicle and proved the Frogs, at some point, knew how to engineer good.
You know who else tried to engineer good?
Tesla?
Carrol Shelby?
John DeLorean?
Mayans?
Joe Connoly?
Thomas?
hell, the French invented engineering . . . even the word
balistique, moment, Carnot, Eiffel, Diesel, baïonnette
Their hydraulic suspensions required extremely high tolerances. Beyond that required for regular automotive production. As a result Citroen was at the time a world leader in precision mass production.
My son’s namesake had a 2CV or similar in Brasil in the 50s that ran okay enough for five years
Is that desperation I smell?
All I know, is that Nissan/Renault backed out of merging with Fiat/Chrysler because of regulatory issues. I was overjoyed.
And Nissan conspired with the Japanese government to get rid of Ghosn when he attempted to formalize those two.
yup.
Good thing I don’t need to buy another vehicle for 5 or 6 years.
Hopefully they don’t fuck the company up too much.

This game 7 is getting good…
I’ve got to get up at 5:30. Could they just call it after 7?
Lolz.
Nope. This is a fight to the death, no matter how many innings.
The commenters just mentioned that the Astros and the Nationals share the same preseason practice facility, so the losing team will have to see the winning team’s banner at that facility next year.
Ouch.
same preseason practice facility

It’s gotta be a parody. Funny as hell even if it’s not.

It’s from Clickhole. It is a parody.

Lemme guess since I’m not watching it. “The Nationals are 4 outs away from becoming the champions of baseball. The Astros are gonna have to dig deep and find out what they’re made of.”
I haven’t watched baseball since the second strike. I’m sure you are right.

But did they “show up to play”?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/auburn-tree-poisoner-fails-to-appear-in-court-for-hearing/ar-AAJAGtI
OPELIKA, Ala. (AP) — The University of Alabama fan convicted of poisoning Auburn University’s oak trees failed to attend a hearing Wednesday on why he hasn’t paid court-ordered restitution. . . . Harvey Updyke, a retired Texas state trooper who lives in Louisiana. . . .Updyke pleaded guilty in 2013 to poisoning trees at Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner. Court records show Updyke has paid only $6,900 of about $800,000 he was ordered to pay in penalties and restitution.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and guess at the reason he didn’t show
he’s going to jail
nothing wrong with being sick, but your attorney makes those presentations at the right time; if you don’t show at all, no Texas court is going to defend that shit
He was shooting a lady in her own home?
Oh, doesn’t have to do anything. Simply being a retired trooper is reason enough to ignore whatever the plebe court says.
Perfectly fitting for DC to be hoisting the trophy of a crony capitalist league.

As for the two? Yes.

This one looks like a real woman, did you even look it at?!
The tits may be on the small side but the nipples are too perfect not to post.
It’s the night before Halloween, so with Nosferatu playing in the background I read the voter’s guide, they both want to suck my blood. Funny that the local branch of the Libertarian party wrote most of the rebuttals. All that shit will get passed, a nice new fat bond for “affordable housing” that will tack an extra hundred or two on my property tax bill.
It’s always such a treat to see that “affordable” means someone else paid.
AND, the price is inflated, because we can’t have poor people living ‘substandard’ housing, that standard being set by some bureaucrat getting kick-backs from all the contractors.
Breaking legs and handing out rickety crutches.
Meh, a rickety morphine pump is probably more apt. Crutches can actually lead to the problem being healed.
To be fair, if the problem is ‘not enough morphine’, that pump will probably be a ‘positive’.
It is much more affordable for me to have you pay for it. I’ll vote yes to you paying. It’s really only fair.
Be sure to thank Big Brother for “reducing” the homeless count to x greater than it was last year.
There is actually a proposition to make it easier for the city government to build affordable housing, that is to reduce the burocracia that prevents more building. You can’t make this shit up.
It’s the same shit with my governor bragging about tax breaks for fashionable industries. It makes you want to bang your head against a wall, doesn’t it?
It’s infuriating. To save myself from head injuries I mostly concentrate on keeping the family fed and happy. Beer helps as well. Life is a gift. I’m happy to live it. I hope that the standard of living can at least maintain, but it seems like there is a movement against prosperity.

I just watched Dolomite (Eddie Murphy) on Netflix.
Fucking hilarious
I watched it last night. I totally agree with your thoughts.
I remember Dolomite was part of a three feature night at the drive-in in 1975 that I saw with a group of friends. I thought the Netflix would just be a remake. I am glad it wasn’t.
I saw the trailer for “Midway” it looks like it will be another POS like “Pearl Harbor” was. The historical errors in the trailer were enough for me to damn it. Who the fuck thought it would work to have “Woody” from Cheers cast as Admiral Nimitz?
A. Just watched Dolemite last night, too. IT was very good, and I’m glad it was Netflix (as opposed to having to wait for it to leave the theater-style Netflix).
B. That makes me sad about the Midway movie. I wasn’t exactly hopeful about the cast, but, was willing to give it a shot. Maybe, after it leaves the theater…
I hear ya cluckin’, big chicken.
I walked out of Pearl Harbor. Never had done that before.
Dang! That’s a thumb’s down.
/never watched it
I vaguely remember seeing that, or part of it, somewhere. Probably on a flight. My memory was that it looked like the director wanted to make some kind of 1960’s beach movie but was given a script and budget for a WWII epic so he wedged as much of his boy-girl romance story into the given script as possible.
go on…
That’s why I characterized it as “1960’s beach movie” – about as much sexual tension as a glass of milk.
That’s not milk! EEEEWWWW!!
/it’s late
“Hey uncle Rob, I got up early and milked the cow.”
“Arnold, we don’t have a cow. That’s a bull.”
Dolemite was terrific, Eddie returning to good form.
Mojo nailed it with that ear worm upthread. Been humming it myself for the past two hours. That note she hits at 2:44 is insane.
That was a good ear worm. Here is a multi-generational ear worm. Sing it with your kid and your mother-in-law.

That’s enough out of you.
Okinawa had it’s own version of the Notre Dame fire. The castle went up in flames like it was made of wood or something.
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/10/31/national/shuri-castle-fire/#.XbqK4pr7TIU
High winds, lots of water, and, now–fire. Japan is getting a snoot full of the elements.
Well they should have read the country inspector report. Who builds next to a continental plate subduction zone.
(oh yeah, lot’s of folks)
I was watching that on the news on the TV in the gym. I saw them dumping water from a fire hose on the roof. Hm… isn’t a roof designed to shunt water off the structure? Shouldn’t they be dumping that into the structure somewhere below the roof? The roof tiles weren’t going to catch fire so I’m not sure what the point was.
The report says it was the replica constructed in 1992 that burned. It is unfortunate, but surprising they didn’t include sufficient fire suppression. The Japanese are good with the fire codes.
Almost all “historic” buildings in Japan have been rebuilt at one time or another in the centuries since they were first constructed. AFAIK very few old buildings in Japan are as old as you might believe when visiting them. I have seen some specific beams in historic buildings in Kyoto which were the original wood from centuries ago but those are rare.
In the case of the Shuri castle I’m pretty sure it was just a structure similar to the original castle, built on/near the original site. It’s been decades since I visited it so the details in my mind are thin.
So what is an ear worm that has a parody ear worm? Q-worthy.

“I really think it’s unnecessary to do this study. They could’ve done something progressive.”
Scrolling through last nights chit-chat and I find this. Good catch Crusty. That is the proggie position in a nutshell. We don’t need to know things that are true, we just need to advance the narrative.
I just think it’s funny that they say , why study this, when you have them thinking dog park rape is the best thing ever.
