But I’m not done on the GlibFit post yet!
Yeah! Back to Glibfit!
Once there was a thread about nothing. And then cocktail swilling quasi libertarians ruined it.
Soon, my grasshoppers, soon, we will exact our vengeance.
Cocktails? I haven’t even hit the bar yet today…
/looks at glass of sangria
The recipe involved wine, triple sec, bitters… HOLY SHIT! It’s a damned cocktail!
And there was all of 60 seconds of political talk today, my dad mentioned a forwarded political joke e-mail he got. That was all. It helps that my family knows my stances, and that today is more about family and food then trying to fight.
We had our share of political talk. We discussed the history of the croissant, with due thanks to the bakers of Vienna for their role in saving Western Civilization, a side note about Marie Antoinette’s role (brought it to France) and the similarities between those who killed her and the modern left, discussed the Viennese ingrates refusal to allow the Statue of Jan Sobieski III. Oh, you mean Trump?
So, for you lover’s of science.
How long would it be possible for a planet to exist and support hominid life around a super stable orange dwarf star?
Well, if Trump gets re-elected all life as we know it will disappear anywhere/everywhere. /
Peeked in to Schiff’s diary
Yeah, I know, and climate doom. But I was taking bout real science stuff.
They are main sequence stars with much longer stable periods before they start the cycle toward a nova than the Sun. Their “habitable zones” will be smaller but with less mass any planets has a better chance of not becoming tidally locked like Mercury and Venus (which is not totally locked).
This star class is considered a good candidate for life and some of the are close. Alpha Centauri B is part of the this class and in the closest star system to us.
Yeah, I had some extra carbs today. And I’ll have some leftovers tomorrow too.
*looks around for Tres’ disapproving stare*
But I drew the line at bread. Zero bread.
We put away a bottle of local Chardonnay at dinner and I’ve poured a nice glass of bourbon.
Cheers Glibs!
Carbs are not the problem. /heretic
Simple carbs from plant based food will be burnt off like crazy.
The problem is the carbs that we eat, cakes, pies, and other sugar overloaded calorie rich foods.
No wonder Americans are getting diabetes and heart disease at 20.
The reason none of this existed a century ago is that no one could afford to eat more calories than their body could burn off in a day.
Mashed potatos, mac and cheese, and gravy. We didn’t even get to the apple pie yet.
Mashed potatoes will most definitely not make you fat, you’ll burn all that off for energy. BTW, I love mashed taters.
After my bread fail, the girlfriend asked her aunt to pick up some rolls as a back up. She showed up with fscking 3 full loaves of bread and over two dozen rolls. For about a dozen people.
/sigh
Sounds like she was being generous.
The annoyance is more in bringing a large amount of food here, and leaving it (instead of taking any of it back with her) while knowing we’re going out of town in a couple days. I already feel guilty enough about the stuff I threw out already.
You’re sending Mojeaux cookies. Send her bread too. ?
I’ve offered to send Mojeaux cookies. She’d need to reach out for me to do it. I could send them to GT, I mean they’re all the same right?
All Tulpas? Yeah, I guess. 8^>
Yes. They are fictional characters that we believe exist.
Dude, what? I am taking charity lately.

No, I haven’t doxxed myself. That is my business address.
Thank you!!!
Mojeaux, I’ll try to get them in the mail tomorrow. All I ask for in return is your family’s appraisal of them.
Happy Thanksgiving, and may your holidays go well.
Hey, now! I’ll have you know I’m a UNIQUE fictional character!
Are you sure?
Ami I sure? ::takes inventory:: Left-handed, redheaded, libertarian, former Unitarian Universalist minister’s wife….. If I’m not unique, I’m pretty darn close. I’ll let y’all decide whether I’m fictional or real. Do you want to believe?
GT:
I mean the addresses don’t match, so I have to believe there’s at least
twothree Glibs who present as female (almost forgot SP… that would be dangerous).I knew there was something sinister about you.
I’d rather be sinister than gauche.
(BTW – just scrolled past this again & realized I should clarify: NOT calling you gauche!)
Land o’ gauchen!
/Yes; that is my first post of the evening
In that case…
That is…..surprisingly accurate.
If you really have an aversion to throwing away bread, you can dry it out and do a lot of things with it. Bread pudding, bread crumbs, bread soup, etc.
I’m not gonna pretend that this is all easier than just tossing it in the backyard and letting the birds take care of it, but I inherited my dad’s phobia of tossing food out, and this is what I usually do with old bread. Also, I make all my own bread, so it’s kinda like my baby, and I don’t want to just throw it in the trash.
The problem is doing all of that while trying to drop weight. One thing I will not do is put it in the backyard. There’s all ready too damn many deer around here already. My parents grew up to Depression era parents, and raised us to not throw stuff out, so it’s hard. Today I already pitched a dessert that I wasn’t happy with how it came out, and didn’t feel the need to keep around to tempt me for the rest of the week.
We keep bread in the freezer. We’re not big bread eaters so it’ll last a long time. We are also thrifty and its rare that food will get pitched out. We have a fox or two that comes every night to survey the garbage, pick the bones, any veggies that may be there.
Fox will scrape the watermelon/cantaloupe rinds to get any left.
Any leftover bread around our place goes to the possums and the rackety coons, of which we have a deckfull of an evening.
Today I found out that even when you burn a pecan pie, it still tastes great.
I had a Muscadet while Dad had a drink from a Bota Box of Riesling.
Nothin’ wrong with those Bota Boxes, I gotta say . . .
Hell yea, man. That’s my go-to wine nowadays, especially since I’m not a prolific wine drinker and usually just tap off a glass here and there or nab a cup to put in my tomato sauce.
From my last trip to Europe (Italy this time), I’m really quite annoyed that most North American wine producers won’t put decent wine into bladder-boxes. You find the occasional gem, but it’s amazing that so much of it is stuff that would barely pass for vin ordinaire in France, ferinstance.

Not enough ethylene glycol to pass muster?

*Whales Parker House roll at Sean.
Deep Space 9 is better than Babylon 5. How much better? 4. It is 4 better.
Fuck no 5 better….
Ackshually, DS9 got really good when the producers announced its last season and the writers suddenly realized they could really flex their muscles and go for it.
I appreciated Babylon 5, but never got into it.
Who is your avatar She’s too cute, I hate you!
If it’s his wife again, I’m sorry to say that this time she doesn’t look like she came out of an 80s music video.
She’s one of the spousal unit’s friends and is also her personal trainer. My wife has a lot of friends that are easy on the eyes. This one has sat for eight or nine sessions in my studio, and has an almost chameleon-like ability to look like different women. I really enjoy working with her.
This one’s for you, Hype:
http://www.knownuniverse.net/temp/IMG_7041.jpg
Jeebus fucking Crist, would you either take 80s girl off your avatar or ask her to send me naked pics? Thank you.
I suspect her husband (he kinda looks like a refrigerator with extremities) would object to the naked pics.
There’s a long standing rumor that DS9 was cribbed from B5. B5 had the advantage of not needing the crazy post-scarcity economy that Star Trek set up for itself. FFS, there’s an episode that’s about union strikes and negotiations.
That never made sense to me at all. Wasn’t there some kind of metal (latinum?) that couldn’t be replicated? And wasn’t there some mention of food tasting “replicated”, meaning that the replicated food is not as good as real food? Isn’t there still a need for the finite labor of skilled professionals in transport, engineering, science, entertainment, etc?
They could never decide if the crazy post-scarcity economy was only for the military or not.
That is something that drove me a little crazy about DS9.
The way I grokked it, the closer you were to the centre of Federation territory, the more likely the overall economy was post-scarcity. ”Frontier” areas (with reference to Federation space, such as where DS9 was located) seemed to function more like scarcity economies. How a person transitioned from one to another was never dealt with.
DS9 tried to show it in a couple episodes with Sisko’s father (who was a N’awlins chef). They also had a strange way of dealing with trade with other races (who may or may not be post-scarcity).
This a nice ret-con 😉
Really need to finish the DS9 watch I started on netflix last year (about 6 eps into S1). Only saw a handful of random eps when it was originally screening – and now I’m finally interested in wrapping things up after seeing Razorfist’s promos, etc.
Watched B5 and bought the season sets as they came out on DVD. S5 is the only real letdown. 1-4 are the perfect war.
My favorite is still Farscape, but it was handled so haphazardly by SciFi that it just can’t stand up as a series. Individual season cliffhangers, multi-step arcs : it can’t be beat. And the makepup and practical effects are so much more fantastic than anything else for the period.
Season 5 for B5 is weak, mainly because it wasn’t known if it would happen or not. That’s also why season 4 is so fscking strong, they had to shove in two years of plot arcs into that season. Intersections In Real Time is one of my favorite bottle episodes ever.
Another good sci-fi series is Fringe. If the first episode doesn’t hook you, you can safely give it up.
You’re absolutely right about why season 4 and 5 were the way they were. While 4 was much stronger than 5, I think 5 is unfairly maligned. It was interesting to see the transition to what came next and the destruction of the station was a unique episode.
If you’re referring to Sleeping in Light, that was filmed with Season 4, to serve as the finale if there was no season 5 (hence Claudia Christian being in the episode).
I know. But it still aired as part of season 5.
Watching the final season of B5 is like reading the second Thomas Covenant series – you just. don’t. do. it.
The second Thomas Covenant series was horrible.
Farscape was special and was killed to young.
I really liked it too.
You are dead to me.
Iknorite??
Also, thank you for the h/t that we spoke of!
DORK ALERT!

You go, Yusef.
You won’t see my handle, but I chipped in. ‘‘Tis the season, my friend.
Just cracked my first Celebration Ale, it’s officially the holidays.
Continuation from last thread. Kellerweis is, in my opinion, the best widely available American hefeweizen.
My tiers.
Tier 1: Weihenstephaner
Tier 2: other German hefes, mine.
Tier 3: Kellerweis, a few small breweries
Tier 4: most American hefes
Tier 5: Fuck you Widmer, just go fuck yourself. Also, anyone else using a neutral yeast but labeling it hefeweizen.
They have a good one, from Germany, down at the local pub right now Frankenmuth Heffe is the best one I’ve had.
Glad to hear my tastes are still in line with the standards. If you get the chance, I’d recommend trying Fat Head’s Gogglefogger. I’m also a bit safe that I rarely see Widmer on the shelves here.
I was going to question you calling my taste the standard. But, no, I wont.
For any other style, tastes vary, whatever. But when it comes to hefe, I am right and anyone who disagrees is objectively wrong.
In no way was I attempting to insult. But from time to time I do like calibrating my tastes with someone else’s beer tastes. I find it helpful to keep my biases in line, and to make sure I don’t get to complacent in my choices.
Insult? It was a compliment.
/bows head.
/toasts robc with a SN Celebration
Yeah, seconded on the Gogglefogger.
Elysian day glo, the best I could at the crappy liquor store close by…
It’s good
Love Celebration. Had the whole 6 today.
L’Chaiym!
I refuse to buy it by the sixer when I can get a 12 pack for $3 more.
/flashes back to the kids playing Super Smash Bros. where a character kept shouting something similar to L’Chaiym (but was probably Lay Fire or something).
Suck it cowboys
I heard a big sploosh coming from Rhywun’s apartment. Contra Q, he didn’t need a date.
CBS, and America, have a sad. 🙁
Right?
The announcers were insufferable. I liked them laughing when we missed the field goal. . .
Especially now that we got payback.
/raises beer in honor of Dallas losing
The Bills lost the one game I wanted to see them lose, they can keep winning now. And it’s not like us rust belt locations have any idea about bad announcers…
*raises glass *
Sunday’s Browns/Stillers game should be interesting. Especially with Rudolph being benched, and Ogunjobi back.
/remembers the Browns opener last year when the announcer pointed out that Roethlisberger had won more games in CLE then any Browns QB since Kosar.
Was that the only meeting with the Browns?
For this season. We’ve got two against the Bengals, the Stillers, the Ravens, and one against the Cardinals. If we win out, there’s a chance we’re making it into the playoffs. The Ravens, Cardinals, and Stillers are the ones I’m worried about (sorry Southern OH glibs).
If you were worried about the Bengals, I’d be worried about YOU.
GT: It’s the Browns. Our season opener against the Titans was an embarrassment, and the house I was at turned it off to watch the ending of the Indians/Twins game (because we had a better chance of winning there). If the Browns schedule had a game against St. Ignatius, I’d be willing to throw a bet against the Browns.
Christ, even Romo sounded like he wanted to jump off a bridge.
SORRY, AMERICA!
/not sorry
/hopes he will get to watch a single Buffalo match next year too
Lol. They all sounded so sad
Once they realized it was too late. Wonderful thanksgiving with the family over, back at home basking in the glory of our victory.
On this day let us give thanks that Dallas lost.
-Amen
How cute the Cowboys lost to Buffalo.
HAJAHAHAAAHAHAHAAAA!
Praise the Elder Gods for the Cowboys loss. Now I can head off with my gift of Nog for the Turkey Day fest. Have a wonderful mainland evening until I get back home.
Driving from Lima back to Fredericksburg tomorrow- leaving around 7.
Any suggestions for potential places en route to try growler fills of locals?
Lima, OH?
I used to do testing at that refinery in Lima.
I assumed Peru. Lead foot, and all that.
There could be other Lima’s…
Depends on the path you’re taking. If you can fit Wooster in, I highly recommend JAFB Wooster as a stop. If you’re going through Akron, Hoppin’ Frog is good (and has a special release tomorrow). If you like mead, Crafted is right around that area as well. I don’t think any of them do growler fills (crowler and to go only). If I’ve got the path right, and Wadsworth is on it, Wadsworth brewing would be the recommendation for a place to fill growlers, they have some really good beer, and were quite friendly the one time I stopped in.
Yup.
Yeah – Lima, OH. I’ll keep those on my list…but based on schedule and planned route – mostly US 33/50 (staying off the interstate).
Going near Canton then? You can look up Fat Head’s, the North Canton location should be open, and do growler fills. I’m going to be hitting up Hoppin’ Frog for their Black Friday sale (QORIS the Quasher, a quadruple stout), and hitting up Crafted to pick up my quarterly subscription.
No…looks more like my route’ll be swinging by Parkersburg, WV (but may not get there before they open)…https://parkersburgbrewing.com/beer_type/all-beers/ ….maybe Bridgeport too http://mountainstatebrewing.com/beer_type/all-beers/
LCDR_Fish: If you want more detailed recommendations based on your route, feel free to hit me up at my handle at Google’s mail. I can at least speak knowledgeably about the vast majority of Ohio breweries.
Peru is in Indiana. Duh.
https://www.cityofperu.org/
And IIRC, it’s pronounced PAY-roo.
Oh, and just to show I’m not entirely heartless. After all the cooking today, I did manage to throw on a Christmas sweater for a bit. I was told it was cute.
Nice arms, brah. You lift ?
Definitely not a picture of me, and mine is a long sleeved one.
I was wondering when Queerty went into the T-shirt business. ?
Good on your Bills.

Woke up to a bit of weather this morning.
You need more wood.
That’s what she said?
No kidding. commodious outed as a wood hoarder.
But, he ruined it by cutting short lengths.
You charge a guy with a gun, you run away from knife.
Charge a gun, away from a knife.
What if the gun is fitted with a bayonet?
Shoot him. Twice.
Just saw a Tom Steyer ad ripping on Trump’s bad business practices.
Does anyone, at this point, care?
You been poaching King Steyer’s game again?
He’s the only one who can take on Trump. According to him.
He has the pee tapes?
What difference, at this point, does it make?
You just saw that ad?
I envy states in which primary candidates don’t infest every single mass medium 6 months before a primary.
People still watch the TV?
He’s bought up all the Youtube and Hulu adspace too.
I Youtube all the time and didn’t notice. He needs to spend all the rest of that money.
I’m sure they are targeted by geographic location.
My friend ran into Bernie while walking the dog around the pond today.
It’s terrible.
I run into aging commies every day, but I live in Baltimore. Just that none of them, so far, are running for president, that I know of.
Likely, but I see the ads on specific channels here in Iowa. CNBC and CNN.
Thankfully, my Hulu ads have been non-political (for standard measures of political) so far, and I’m in Ohio. I expect this will change by next July.
There are such states?
STFU, Tulpa!
AZ, for one. Totally primary irrelevant.
Hawaii for another. Both sides know that the Dem will get our 4 electoral votes. With two exceptions (1972 and 1984) since statehood.

Teacher of the Year, 36, is arrested after she was accused of performing oral sex on a pupil in a classroom
CONTEST!
The best Thanksgiving-themed euphemism connected to this story wins a year-long Glibertarians.com subscription!
She could have performed oral sex on me and not have been arrested. What is wrong with her?
They serve the best gravy at the high school but the dispensers take some effort to get them to dispense.
I hope she didn’t save it to baste the turkey!
She sure blew her career.
“HOT TOTY–Round Rock rises, as teacher, 36, goes down!“
Food coma. Bigly. Magnificent. Nearly unconscious.
What is wrong with ya’ll? I’ve been drinking beer and eating since 10am this morning. Thinking about opening a bottle of cachaca.
Oh, and I’m almost 60, get off my lawn, you wusses!
Kill that bottle, dont eat, and we can rock Skyline in about 3 hours when it tastes best.
Fuck yeah, Skyline, tall cans, let’s do it, bro!
Wait, you mean Goldstar, right?
/does math.
Nope, my dad is older. He took a nap earlier after (maybe) two beers and the feast of turkey.
“He took a nap earlier after (maybe) two beers and the feast of turkey.”
Ya’ll gotta stop eating that shit, it’s killing you. Try the THC gravy instead.
My dad is a Limbaugh Republican. He is a drug warrior even after admitting use when he was younger. If I could get THC gravy and serve it (legally) on Thanksgiving, it would greatly entertain me.
I don’t even get it. Do humans really need to come up with a reason why those other guys are bad? My wife, who was a full on socialist when I met her, is now one of the most outspoken libertarians I know. Except of course, for the drug war. She still thinks that weed is somehow worse than booze. No matter how hard I try to convince her, it’s useless, sigh…
I took my niece out for her 21st several years ago. I think the real connection I made with her that night was explaining why her mom was so hard on her for having pot was that the punishment would ruin her life.
There have been several entertaining stories between my niece and I about usage when we were in places where it was legal.

So… Hunter got pegged? Where’s the pee tapes?
It would almost be worth voting for Joe to get 4 years of Hunter.
nose/face + spite
That’s sort of like saying it would have been worth voting for Hillary to get 4 years of old senile Willy roaming the halls of Congress late at night, molesting the young interns. No, just fucking no. Biden is one of the biggest pieces of statist shit to ever pollute this planet. A pox on him and all his house.
Best timeline ever.
Let’s be honest. Who hasn’t gone on a coke bender and asked a room full of strippers to peg them.
Replace peg with screw and this scenario sounds fine.
A screw up there would probably be a lot more painful, but if that’s what floats your boat…
1/4 20 or we talking deck?
/silently raises hand
“Dildo Baggins hunts for Lemmiwinks, Rick Santorum found.”
“Dildo Baggins hunts for Lemmiwinks,
Rick SantorumEric Swalwell found.”C’mon–you know that makes much more sense. He looks like he’s down for that kind of ‘watch party’.
The cast has also agreed to be his pallbearers, so they can let him down one last time.
I wonder if some pot will fall out of his ass when he kicks it.
You leave Rian Johnson alone!
Rian’s biggest sin is that he has distracted from the fact that JJ is Hollywood’s biggest hack. Seriously, what can he do other than shitty quasi-reboots?
I like the Mission Impossible series! But yes you’re right.
I remember being a fan of “Alias” – maybe that was good?
I liked that show too. Probably had something to do with being a teenage boy and Jennifer garner.
*taps nose*
I just assume that’s why I thought it was good, too.
The first season was okay, when you could still pretend that the reason it didn’t make any sense is because there was a complicated plot that had not yet been entirely revealed. By the second season, that hope had evaporated like an Arizona frost.
Fringe?
And Rian did The Last Jedi, which is worse then anything Abrams has done.
Looper made absolutely no sense.
There.
I said it.
Fringe? You mean the shitty quasi-reboot of Millennium?
/gets ready to cut HM.
You compare a Chris Carter show to Fringe?
/applies orifice closing bacteria to HM.
Millennium, which managed the nearly impossible great ending, and then fucked it by dragging on for more seasons.
Guess who stupidly grabbed the roasting pad to move it around on the stove top? This guy!
Pointing to self with the one functional hand.
/raises bandaged hand
Not really, just minor burns that I don’t feel after working fast food as a teenager.
I escaped unburnt this year, even when pulling the bird from the roasting pan. I do have to clean the glass shelf of my fridge tomorrow, since it now has the cardboard from a 12 pack of coke zero permanently glued to it with pint or so of cranberries I spilled … Fortunately I bought the giant bag of berries by mistake and decided to make the whole lot so I still ended up with enough leftovers to snack on and then throw out 2/3 of when I realize that I only like cranberries occasionally. It’s not that I don’t learn. I learn fine. I just don’t ever change the stupid habits when I learn.
“pulling the bird from the roasting pan”
Euphemism of the day.
What I’m listening to tonight. Yes, really.

P.S. Just saw your comment saying Mahomes sucks.
Bwahahahahaha!!!
Go drunk, you’re home.
Mahomes does suck. I’m like a prophet. KC is doomed to repeat the playoff performance of their last 50 year. I mean, lose.
Whatever helps you sleep at night. 😉
Would I lose any sleep worrying that the Chiefs will finally make it to the big game after 50 years? No, I worry more about, well, everything.
Sadly, I am so numb from thirty years of ALMOSTS and MAYBES and SOMETIMES that I’m like an abused wife. I flinch at every flag thrown and every 4th down punt and every failed 3rd-down conversion.
My husband does not understand the level of PTSD the Chiefs have created in me.
I don’t think Mahomes sucks. I think they all suck slightly in the worst possible ways.
Sorry, that’s nothing compared to the Browns in the 80’s. Look up the drive and the fumble to start.
Dammit I can’t find a decent clip of the Mom from Buffalo 66 that would be perfect here.
Oh, Hype is probably right about us losing in the playoffs again this year. I still don’t trust Reid to make the righting game adjustments before the second half and the run defense is garbage. However, saying Mahomes sucks is just being a salty Raiders fan who knows his team will be lucky to win the division once over the next decade.
Agree completely.
LOL
It’s not a link to my music selections?
Must be bad if hm disapproves of a link. No clicky.

I can almost smell the stale popcorn.
Right?!

Do you want a blue or red slushy to wash it down?
Why not both? Also, Icee or GTFO!
They were Icee machines! At least the ones here were. I knew Slushy wasn’t right, but couldn’t remember what they were. Good catch.
Yup
There’s an ex-K-Mart near us that’s been a Rural King (kinda like Tractor Supply) for quite a while, but when you first walk in, it still smells like a K-Mart. It probably always will.
You just can’t get that scent out of the buildings.
“Now I’ll never get that smell out of the fish.”
(Punch line of joke of questionable taste. You won’t get it.)
I heard that one.
I love Rural King. Im surprised that the popcorn smell doesnt mask the Kmart smell. (Do all RKs give away free popcorn?)
I suspect the popcorn smell IS the K-Mart smell.
Oh, fer fuck’s sake. I just bothered to click on that. Really, really, seek help.
Holy crap. You are going through a dark time.

Get woke Boomer.
(There was an entertaining conversation tonight about generations between me, my niece, her boyfriend, and my sister). My sister and I both identify as Gen X (’79 and ’77 respectively), while my niece is unhappy with being shoved into the Millennials (’94).
I am not, in fact, a “Boomer.” I am, in fact, on the front of GenX (the early part of which used to be called Baby Busters).
My mom’s reaction to the generational conversation was much more entertaining. When people were complaining about Boomers, she went, “Shit, guess I’m not welcome then.” and stayed sitting in her chair.
I was born in ’87 and was unpleasantly surprised to find that some older folks lump me in with those people.
There was much entertainment about the fact my sister can technically be a Millennial, as can I… and neither of us fit culturally with that at all. I identify as Gen X.
The broadest range for a generation is every 20 years. Millenials are from 81-2001 in some of these ‘meanings’ So My niece that was born the same year I turned 18 is a Millenial, the same as I am. It’s bullshit all the way down.
Born in ’93, and would also prefer not to be associated with millennials. Oh well.
Yeah, ‘generations’ are real dumb. I was 10 in 93, and that’s only halfway point of what they call Millennials. He-Man wasn’t even on the the air in 93. We’d LITERALLY have nothing to talk about.
As a shorthand for cultural groupings it can work. But FFS, I had to explain the concept of SHARPs to young punks this year. They couldn’t understand why a skinhead would show up to a punk show… while talking to someone who’s a skin at this point.
They’re just too big. Someone who remembers the Berlin Wall coming down has a completely different set of cultural experiences than me, and I have a completely different set of experiences than someone who is too young to remember 9/11, but both people could be within a few years of age from me.
Cannoli:
In my opinion, the subculture is more important then the time of birth. Take anyone from the skinhead punk culture and drop them into a college today, and it would be entertaining. Take them and drop them into any gathering of punks, and they’d probably fit in. When I was at Camp Anarchy (weekend punk beer/music fest) the testing of people was less then 15 seconds, and basically went based on music or political tastes (appearances here could help). My F*ck the Polis shirt was very popular. When I’m at Viva Las Vegas, you can pick out those who are there for the fest. We stand out… all in similar ways.
Damn yoots. I have bad habits older then you.

Evening Glibs. Had a pleasant afternoon across the street at the neighbors. Now for whiskey.
Jason Garret’s tenure in Dallas is officially over after this season.
Your reputation just keeps getting worse and worse.
Good thing there are zero fucks given, or that might bother me. And I still have a long ways to go to catch up to you.
That’s not what I’m hearing.
They’re lying to you. Your reputation is THAT bad.
“Your reputation is THAT bad.”
It’s what keeps me going!
Oh, I guess getting dominated by a 9-3 team is something to feel bad about.
It’s not Garret’s fault the Bills are a juggernaut.
With the talent Dallas has this year, they should have the same record.
/looks at the 11/10 game.
Huh…
SHUT UP
What? Did I say something wrong?
I mean even OMWC wasn’t this upset a couple weeks before that…
Hi
Hit the THC gravy?
Howdy.
I used regular gravy.
I prefer mid-grade, myself.
Corn Flakes or Total?
Ok, Boomer. Try Grape Nuts.
Fruity Pebbles FTW
Have you seen the price of pine nuts lately? Euell Gibbons would have a fucking heart attack.
I actually threw out half a box of Fruity Pebbles yesterday. It’s so sickly sweet I can’t eat it.
Which is why we have 5 year old 400 lb kids with diabetes.
Yes. It’s because of Fruity Pebbles that was introduced just 10 years ago.
Dude, I mean just let your love for Fruity Pebbles go. Don’t be so defensive, no one is going to take away your Fruit Pebbles.
Hell yes we’re going to take away your breakfast cereals!

Diet soda is my new jam too. I discovered that Sprite Zero Sugar is actually not bad.
I don’t drink soda. Only water and my bad drink, beer.
Nice to see I’m not the only one who doesn’t drink soda.
I pretty much gave up drinking soda – either sweetened or fake sugar – about ten years ago. When you hit your 50’s you really have to be taking care of yourself.
Take a ride on the seltzer train with the rest of us cool kids.
You’re one of those Hipster Juice swillers, aren’t you?
Maybe. I only drink it with vodka so I guess if I get drunk enough I could get used to the taste.
How long until you tell us about the virtues of Fresca?
Sick of it.
I’d have thought you preferred fruity Bamm Bamm.
Something happened to grape nuts. Got a box recently and ended up throwing it away. They’ve changed the recipe.
Saw a conspiracy theory the other day that the whole “New Coke” thing was to make it so they could change the recipe over to corn syrup and no one would know. This is what I have always thought.
*adjusts tinfoil hat*
Actually, it was a two pronged approach, as New Coke also used Aspertame, and was basically Diet Coke. So they created demand for OG Coke, but in the absence switched from sugar to corn syrup; and then when they killed new coke, they turned it into diet Coke.
Nah–I can smell aspertame, it’s so nasty, and I can say that NC did NOT have it.
That actually makes sense.
It still turns to cement if you don’t eat it fast enough, right?
Cap’n Crunch always had the best prizes in the box. #thumbtennis
Grape Nuts are the shit. The smell reminds me of crushed crystal malt. Or vice versa.
Also, the Kroger’s store brand equivalent, Nutty Nuggets, is the only store brand cereal I’ve had that I prefer over the national brand. You should sooner chew blasting caps than eat store brand Cheerios.
Use lotion, you weirdo.
Currently listening to Alice’s Restaurant and pouring a Glencairn of New Riff.
Carry on, my friends. Carry on.
I’m going to have to open this bottle of cachaca from Minas Gerais. I’m out of beer. I’ve had that bottle for at least 6 months unopened.
I’m not sure what this means. I know the individual words, but they make no sense when arranged in that order.
Oh hearty pilgrim! Ponder not this riddle. In the answer awaits madness!
It translates to “Poor planning.”.
And yet every single weekend we hear about him figuring out how he will get to the beer store. For shame.
He should just take up homebrewing. I’ve got over 8 gallons of beer on tap in the basement right now, of which I’ve only had a couple of pints.
Fun fact- in Japan we have beer coupons which all retailers will happily (or at least pretend to be happy) accept as cash towards the purchase of any type/brand of beer. Current value of one coupon is JPY784 (about $7.50). My FIL runs a business and receives stacks of these as end-of-year gifts from other businesses he deals with. He doesn’t really drink beer so he passes those on to me. Right now I’m holding about 400 of those coupons, trying to drink my way through before the next batch shows up.
Wait…you have about $3000 USD worth of free beer coupons? With more coming soon?
*looks up flights to Japan*
I would, but next summer is the expected Belgium/Germany tour.
But does Amazon accept them for their subscribe and save autodelivery?
Holy shit, forgot to listen to that today! One of the local classic rock stations plays that every Thanksgiving, just forgot to tune in. Thanks for the reminder.
Kiss my grits.

OMWC haz a sad.
You reminded me I have Alice’s Restaurant in ye old Itunes libary. Next up was this. Not sure if that is a drunks song or an addicts song but I repeat myself.
Well, the purple potatos lost a good deal of purple during cooking, so I had pink potatos by the time they got mashed. Oh well.
Shepherd’s pie is a dish that looks deceptive in the container. I started running out of plat and there appeared to be a rather small section of the food removed from the pan. I think I have leftovers for days…
What ever even happened to the good old days, when life was simple and there was only one kind of tater?
Oh? And which one is that?
The ones the Irish couldn’t grow. #NoIrish
They could grow food, it just got taxed away from them. And the taters rotted in the soil.

The List Of Shame: Here Are All The Retail Outlets Open On Thanksgiving
I sent out a crew of 5 at 5pm for an emergency response to a cold and rainy stretch of nowhere, so add me to that list!
Nobody forced those consumers to go shopping.
On the flip side, here are the retail outlets that will honor the Thanksgiving holiday and remain closed
Uh, you forgot “The rest of the world”.
Don’t most places pay overtime for working holidays?
I realized I had neither milk nor butter and needed both for what I was making today. When I got to the store, it was less crowded than on a typical thursday.
So the employees were getting paid more for a quiet day. What’s there to gripe about?
That’s another thing – what are people supposed to do if they are preparing Thanksgiving dinner and realize they’re missing some crucial ingredients? The shops are catering to a very important need by being open on Thanksgiving.
And I work in a healthcare setting where staffing is needed 24/7, and a lot of people fight for the chance to come in on holidays and get that extra pay. It was the same at the auto parts plant where I used to work. They celebrate Thanksgiving at some other point in late November – big fucking deal.
My brother-in-law is a firefighter. He was working today, it meant his family shifted the Thanksgiving dinner to another day. This is an easy holiday to shift. It’s all about eating too much, drinking too much, and hanging out with family (of which I consider all of you a secondary part of there).
Needing milk and butter on T-day is quite a bit different than “needing”: to buy a TV on T-day.
What does need have to do with it and who gets to decide what who needs?
The buyers and sellers get to decide. But that doesn’t mean people can’t shun it or point out the ridiculousness of it.
There is no valid reason to start Thursday, other than “BECAUSE WE CAN!” The sales will be there Friday. Just like they have been forever.
If people shun it, then they won’t be open. If no one is willing to work, then they won’t be open. I honestly don’t see the problem.
The “problem” above was with with the people who keep track of who’s open and avoiding them. In 10 years or less we went from stores closed on Thanksgiving, to some opening at 2 pm on Thanksgiving day. Many people don’t like that. Why those people creating a list of those stores is a problem is what I can’t understand.
I’m as free market as the next libertarian, but blowing this off as “free market in action” is a bit…I don’t know…callous. The market doesn’t need to be open 24/7 to be sufficiently “libertarian”. There are real people involved here, and many of them would rather not work those hours.
No. I am not saying “there ought to be a law”, I’m just saying; what the hell happened in the last 10 years that Black Friday now has to start at noon on Thursday?
They can make a list and I can make fun of them for making a list. Cuts both ways. For me, if people don’t care about Thanksgiving and want to work or go shopping, I don’t care. The people making those lists are making assumptions about other people’s lives that they shouldn’t. It’s arrogance.
It’s also nostalgia and tradition. And I admit I get wrapped up in it.
But how about the people who can’t afford to say “no, I don’t want to come in at 1 am for my shift” at a store that is never open at 1 am except for that one day? Should they get fired?
The whole Black Friday thing is just stupid. It has gotten completely out of hand in the last decade. That is what people are upset about. I don’t give a shit if you don’t give a shit about Thanksgiving, but don’t insist that the rest of us shouldn’t’.
This is how the world works.
MikeS: My workplace is probably the least woke/modern place ever. I describe it as the largest corporation that you’ve dealt with and never known the name of (mainly since no one has heard of the company name, but knows the majority of our clients) has official US company holidays of Thanksgiving and the Day after Thanksgiving. And we’re a call center/call center support company.
All my youth jobs were “you’re working every holiday and no there’s no extra pay”. This isn’t Europe where everything shuts down on Sundays and holidays – and it hasn’t been for decades.
I offer no opinion on whether this is good or bad; it just is.
You’re right Mo’. Fuck those people. We’re libertarians. We don’t give a shit about your life, as long as Laissez-faire keeps rolling along. Empathy is for communists.
Rhy: That depends where you grew up.
Okay.
For the record:
I’m working.
I don’t want to.
My current financial situation demands that I do so.
No, my reality does not give two shits about me and what I want and is requiring me to work on Thanksgiving.
For the record; restaurants, hotels, gas stations, grocery stores, liquor stores ( ? ) etc., etc…I get it.
All I (and I think the others) are saying is you don’t need to go to Target at 3pm Thanksgiving day to buy a 50″ TV on sale when that sale could just as easily (as it ALWAYS has) start at 7 am Friday.
All I (and I think the others) are saying is you don’t need to go to Target at 3pm Thanksgiving day to buy a 50″ TV on sale when that sale could just as easily (as it ALWAYS has) start at 7 am Friday.
Look at you, condemning shoppers to be crushed to death in a mob of people who are restrictively and arbitrarily afforded fewer hours in which to make a desired holiday purchase. Some of those people might be fine with having some turkey and then doing some shopping in the same day while others sleep off the tryptophan. Monster!
I’ve been getting Black Friday emails for over six months at this point. It’s just another day (except for the rare releases at a local brewery).
I get so tired of that “be kind and don’t shop on Thanksgiving” bullshit. There were years I’d have given my left arm to work on Thanksgiving because my mom was out of town or something, and get paid double time and a half.
Fuck you, asshole who has somewhere to be on Tday.
Not trying to start an argument…but; store owners should open their stores just because some people don’t have a family gathering to attend?
Store owners should open their stores if they believe they’ll have enough sales traffic to cover the cost.
I was asking a question, not stating an opinion….
No. They should not. We are not talking about staying open specifically to give employees a place to go and double overtime.
We are talking about businesses being hounded TO CLOSE on Tday.
You mean to go back to being closed on Tday, like only 5-10 years ago?
And so what? So those people who’d like to see their kids relax and visit about bit after Tday dinner instead of rushing of to Best Buy shouldn’t be able to complain about it?
Assumption: ALL PEOPLE WANT THANKSGIVING DAY OFF!
Not true.
That is my point, and businesses being hounded to close is irritating and yes, I’m going to complain about it.
Assumption: Mike thinks; ALL PEOPLE WANT THANKSGIVING DAY OFF!
Not true! Back when I was young I volunteered to work in the grocery store on Thanksgiving day.
My point is that retail stores are open 363-ish other days a year. And Black Friday still happens if it doesn’t start on Thursday…just like it has been forever!
The venom for people who’d like to see Black Friday start about 6am Friday instead of noon Thursday is a bit surprising to me.
I didn’t mean that YOU assumed that. I mean that the screamers assume this.
I don’t care if they want that or not.
I don’t care about the complaining.
What I care about is the constant screaming about it. Granted, I am mostly reacting to the fact that my FB and Twitter feeds are filled with venom directed toward businesses who are open when they don’t think they should be.
To me, it’s no different than the LGBT screamers getting after Chick-Fil-A.
Mo: “Granted, I am mostly reacting to the fact that my FB and Twitter feeds ….”
I think I see the problem.
I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.
Chick-Fil-A gets abused for alleged hatred of a group of people.
The anti-open-on-Tday crowd just want stores to stay closed for one day.
Also; stay off FB and Twitter, girl!
And other people don’t, and I’m as entitled to bitch about them as they are to bitch about stores not being closed on Tday.
Not trying to white knight here, but I’ma back Mojeaux here. When I was younger and had minimal obligations, I took up every holiday that would offer higher pay.
I will say the door buster and people lining up for stores opening at 04:00 is insane and dumb, but it makes sense to those doing it Fuck, I’m going to get in a line tomorrow for a rare beer, how is that different?
Well, I was going to point this gem out:
And then, laugh about the pearl-clutching, moral scold fuck-headedness.
Seems I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
If they can make a profit, they should be open.
If they lose money, they should stay closed.
The pay they offer their employees is none of my business, but I hope people are happy to work there.
The market in our little town is open on Thanksgiving until 2:00. Enough for me to get the ingredients I forgot and the milk whose freshness I didn’t check as well as give the empoyees a chance to make a few bucks and still be home for the big dinner.
Last year Wednesday late just berfore closiing I ask the owner whycome no whipping cream the day before Thanksgiving.
He’s all “WTF?’ Seems they had an issue with an ill staff member. The one who does the dairy orders. Thanksgiving morn there was whpping cream. Small towns can be nice.

Is that a crane grab a tit game?
Yes. Can’t figure out why they didn’t make the crane a hand shape.
Because, if that’s supposed to be your hands in there then who’s hand is on the joystick?
Maybe it’s not your hand driving the “joystick”?

I just opened this bottle of Cachaca. And as I expected, it is top shelf elixir of the Gods. Told my wife before I opened, I know how good this is by the person who sent it to me, no need to even guess. I wish I could fly around the world first class all of the time. But I’m happy for them. It’s a fine, fine day.
It’s a fine, fine day
I gotta find some of that stuff. Ohio doesn’t have the greatest liquor selection (thanks, gub’mint!) but maybe I can drive down to Kentucky and find it among their mega-mart size liquor stores with vastly superior selection.
They have some in one of my local stores, cachaca. But not like this stuff. My son-in-law no doubt got it from one of his many connections in Brazil. Veja Tulho, or something like that. The Pitu Vitoriosa I get from Brazil, PE is one of the best liquors I’ve ever drank and that’s about $125 a bottle, but I’ve never paid for it. I’m guessing the bottle I’m drinking now is at least that expensive or more, probably more.
I googled Pitu Vitoriosa and while it sounds good
Aged for a whopping five years in French oak barrels and packaged in a hefty, pear-shaped bottle, this clearly is meant as a premium offering. The amber spirit smells enticingly sweet, evoking vanilla, brown sugar and even traces of cola with orange peel.
a whopping five years? Really? I can get 25 year old scotch/armagnac for 125$
We’re better then PA, and there’s few cachaca’s available at the state liquor stores.
FUCK! This is some of the best liquor! my son in law is a wealthy fuckhead, but one of the most intelligent people I know and damn if he doesn’t have good taste. FUCK! His wife is gorgeous also, probably because she’s my wife’s daughter. I’m a little drunk.

We did Mexican this year. Mostly so I’d make a flan for desert. Made it yesterday as it’s one of things that’s a lot better after sitting for a day. Sliding it out of the fridge I drop it. Flan and sugar syrup and crockery all over the kitchen floor. Surprisingly it landed right-side-up and I was able to save about half of it. The other half was full of the shards of a favorite 40-year-old German platter.
I knew I should have gone back to bed after trying to make coffee. Knocked the filter holder off the machine and send coffee grounds everywherre. At least they were dry.
Damn. I’m sorry mikey.
Yikes. That’s an awful feeling.
Why didn’t you go with Flan in a Can?
First thing I did this morning, after remembering that I forgot to take m one remaining medication, was to take the cap off and then watch it spill all over the room. The entire bottle. Just fuck it, really.
Feel better man. Last night I was getting ready to roast more coffee for today and dropped my roasting chamber. It shattered on the kitchen floor. I ordered a replacement, and picked up some roasted coffee to have available today…

Good morning glibs
Yep. Mornin, Pie, how you doin?
Slept poorly. I had half a bottle of wine and two scotches last night, more than an usual school night. That does not get me anywhere near drunk but I think I slept worse than otherwise.
Through November I had at least 3 days a week with 0 alcohol, I hope to make it 4 a week in December
Don’t forget the first and second sleep. We’ve talked out it her before. It’s not normal for humans to sleep 8 hours straight a day. It’s an industrial anomoly.
I am not sure of that really. We don’t know historical patterns well enough. But I assume through history most sleep was in the night, I doubt medieval peasant would just wonder about in the middle of the night
I’m sure of it. It’s well documented and despite my daily supposed sleep habits, I have been doing it for years.
I so wish I could get on a schedule like that, but it won’t happen as long as I’ve got kids in the house.
I thought it was documented for Victorian England.
I’ve gotten into the habit of falling asleep in my chair after the wife goes to bed. It’s my time to unwind. Recently, when I wake up, instead of going to bed, I watch tv for an hour. As long as I get five hours in bed, I feel fine the next day.
I don’t know about functional – I’m gonna go work on being ornamental, i.e. time to hit the shower & wash hair.
Good day to you, Pie!
Eh a shower should be quick, not much work. In and out.
Fun fact: my freshman year in college, I won the “Longest Showers” award in my dorm corridor. I guess I just get in there and let my mind wander. Is Scorpio a water sign? Doesn’t seem as if it would be, but maybe that’s part of the attraction for me.
An awesome dish. Hope you feel better.
/looks at time.
We’re in the same time zone, right?
/has Friday off
Yup, same time zone, but our financial institution has to be open so all those Black Friday shoppers can get their money. (At least the ones who can’t be trusted with plastic.) I’m hoping to just work in the morning, mainly to cover for a coworker who’s taking the day off. Then Mr. GT & I are heading over to quaint little Metamora, IN for a lovely musical event that might not even be wall-to-wall Christmas songs.
FFS, I’m just getting ready to head to bed.
Tomorrow I need to head down to Akron for the Hoppin’ Frog release, and Crafted (quarterly release, I have a subscription).
Functional, although without a voice thanks to bronchitis. Ate some red sauce with sausage and peppers.
red sauce – is this tomato for you people?
Yes – it was an Italian-American style tomato sauce with Italian sausage and red bell peppers. I like to slice the peppers thin, toss them with olive oil, broil them until they’re soft and slightly charred, then add them to the sauce at the last minute. It really keeps the flavor distinct.
I’m usually much drunker than this by now.
Sad!
#metoo
And you reputation is usually much worse than this by now.
I don’t even remember how this stared now, but it’s your fault for sure.
He’s the worst.
…or, no…wait…
Christ, what a couple of assholes.
Butt, we’re nice assholes!
Toasted in the sun?
Functional is very subjective. If you need me to drive somewhere I am out.
I’m as functional as any other night, I guess.
Make of that what you will.
FUCK YOU Tulpa!
/grabs a Celebration
I’m going to drink more. Wife is already mad at me. Yeah, I’m an asshole, but I’m a nice asshole.
That’s what I say!
Meh. If things keep up like they have for the last month, I may be single next month. Based on input from some local friends, this would improve my life.
G’damnit, this is good liquor. Like I said, I already knew it.
Drink Music
Since we are doing drink music………..Dedicated to Hunter Biden
Speaking of them how is Suthen doing these days?
Alright… I think I’ve done enough to strip links to me from this. Enjoy a punk Christmas station. Sorry (not sorry), it’s got a lot of ska-punk in it as well.
Happy Thanksgiving Glibs! The best holiday of the year, hands down. Just got back home from a good dinner with good folks, got the kids in bed and now it is time to smoke a large joint and watch Captain Ron with the wife. It’s been a tough few months, I’ve lost my youngest brother and a good friend. I’m thankful for everyone I have left and the good life we lead. Also thankful for this wonderful place with top notch commenters.
I’m sorry for your losses. I’m pretty thankful for this place as well.
Fuck man. I’m sorry you’ve gone through shit, but I hope it gets better.
Thanks guys, it’s just gotten better as I’ve smoked that joint and the wife is about to come back out so we can watch one of the betters comedies of the 90’s. Cheers to all of you all.
Captain Ron is a great movie. I always hope that the wife loses her clothes in the dance scene, but it never happens..
“Gorilla. Guerilla. Huuge difference,”
Condolences and amen.
Damn, man, That’s tough. I couldn’t imagine losing my brother.
Also, I think you’re one of those top notch commenters.
Really sorry to hear that, KS. You deserve to enjoy a buzz and a top notch comedy.
Too bad he chose Captain Ron.
I keed, I keed!
Thanks guys, you rock.
Chafed; you still in NYC? This is for you.
You know what offends me? Stores that open on Thanksgiving for early black Friday sales! You know what else I hate? Stores that aren’t open when I want them to be! And cachaca. And the Irish. And potatoes! And Rumania! And Digby! And Dayton!
Did I miss anyone?
I think you missed GT going commando and owing me a pint…
I knew it!
Psst.. do the ‘its Sir Digby’. That always goes over well.
E tu, Gustave??
Thought it was still Thanksgiving for a bit, but seems I’m mistaken…
::snaps fingers:: That’s right; the “good will towards men” thing is Christmas….
/I also go by Diggy, you know.
Wha?? Egging on & escalating confrontations for laffs is a fine T-day tradition.
/and I thought my family was effed up…. ?
For you.
😉
You missed oyster stuffing. It hasn’t been mentioned but that should offend you as well because it is disgusting.
There is no u in Romania goddamnit
F Black Sea supports Rumania.
A Budapest moves to Rumania
worry about the Mediterranean okay?
There is practically a nationwide ban on romaine lettuce here. How does that make you feel?
Hey–that’s just a country’s name; he didn’t call YOU out by name.
It’s deplorableme, isn’t it, Jarflax; he paid you off for that little swipe, didn’t xe??
/THAAAT’S RIGHT, deplorableme–I check out other threads, too! “tread is dead”, my foot….
You also forgot 1974 Kmart Christmas in-store music.
Alright all… tapping out. Hopefully catch you all Saturday, or Sunday. PA Glibs, I’ll be in Philly next weekend, my handle at Google’s mail will reach me.
Nighty night, Neph!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Cops, just like everyone else. Anyone who wrecked a car while intoxicated would be allowed to leave scene still armed and have his wife called to pick them up.

Well, you’d drink a lot on the job, too, if the public hated you for nothing more than trying to control their actions!
/man, he looks like he could be the brother of an officer from my last agency
He does have a generic small agency look.
QFT
Oh shit. I realized the look. It’s Farva.
A bit, yeah. I took a training course at a much larger agency when I was a jailer (ca. 2003). THey had a jailer that looked exactly like Farva, other than height and age. Seemed to be the nicest guy, but, everyone in teh class was quietly snickering about “Farva”.
Felt bad for the guy, but….yeah, he looked just like a Heffernan.
Also why were there no basketball games to watch highlights of?
Well, it’s past my bedtime, so I’m gonna take my leave & turn in – especially since I have to at least show up for work in the morning. Happy Black Friday, Glibbies, and nighty night!
G’night and have a great day tomorrow!
I just watched Bad Lip Reading, Quarterback Edition.
Best part was when they dubbed Carson Wentz saying “You mean I’m NOT Prince Harry?!?”
Tsk tsk tsk–laughing it up with YT videos, all while I’m getting the Winston treatment from Jarflax. I think I’m gonna have to switch to a Rodney Dangerfield avatar!
Also, Happy ? day. ?
Why, thank you good sir.
