Next year, bitches.
I hope all the Glibs had a good holiday. Happily, it was pretty uneventful here.
The Harbaughs got stomped on today by Ohio State. I’ll never forgive that guy for keeping Kaeperdick and trading Alex Smith.
People had birthdays today? Huh.
Hey Ralph, it’s called the Constitution, you cunte.
But the finances of Orangemanbad are totes, okay.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that no teams are interested in this cancerous tumor.
It used to be that they just stomped all over it, now it will kill you.
A little tune for your Saturday evening.
Still working on leftovers:)
Same here. I’ve finished the alcoholic leftovers at least. Tomorrow morning the plan is sweet potato pancakes, then walking up to watch the Browns/Stillers game.
I had some rum cocktails, Ommegamg Three Philosophers, Turkey sandwich, and pumpkin pie. Now drinking water and going for second energy surge.
My niece made a sangria for Thanksgiving. I filled a howler (32 oz) of it to reduce what she had to take home. That was killed last night. There was no pumpkin pie this year.
GF made a standing rib roast for dinner. Oh my, it was quite good. Gonna have some left overs from that.
“Nearly two dozen counties in Virginia have declared Second Amendment Sanctuary status ahead of Democrats taking control of the state legislature in 2020”
Molon Labe!
Colin Kaepernick will replace Nancy Pelosi.
And will lose the Dems the House like he lost his starting position to the school dweeb?
But the finances of Orangemanbad are totes, okay.
The senate just needs to request them for overviewing ethics in government or something…
” Death Toll Rising From Tainted Drug”
Must triple down on retarded policies, because drugs are bad m’kay.
Let’s sing it, everybody!
Tainted drugs/oh oh OH
Tainted drugs/oh oh OH
Once I ran to you/now I run from you
Finally we’re getting into a discussion of quality music here.
Rhy, if I had one of those friendship slap bracelets, I’d happily hand it over to ya.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that no teams are interested in this cancerous tumor.
I can maybe see Columbus day. But Thanksgiving? Isn’t that a celebration of common humanity?
That was two days ago.
Catch up, boomer. It’s a celebration of white supremacy and genocide now.
I draw breath as a white dude and it’s supremacist. I shop Walmart and it’s genocidal now. How can I tell what I’m supposed to atone for minute to minute?
The club in Berkeley we sometimes go to said it was closed for “Indigenous People’s Day” on Thursday. I guess already changing Columbus Day to that wasn’t enough? But at least it answered my inner question on Wednesday when someone said “enjoy the holiday tomorrow” and I wondered why anyone would be afraid to say “Happy Thanksgiving”.
I had a coworker wish me Happy Easter once, and then recoil in horror as she realized the unwoke gaffe she had perpetrated on me. This was almost two decades ago. Ain’t it grand what we’ve created for ourselves here?
We say “have a good shutdown” at my company instead of happy holidays or merry Christmas or happy hannukah or whatever. So dumb.
My thoughts. Wish someone Happy Haunnukah, Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays. If you get offended by any of them you are the asshole.
I’m nonreligious so none of those are “my” holiday, but I can’t fucking imagine the mindset required to be offended that someone gave you a holiday greeting that doesn’t correspond to your own religion.
If someone wished me a happy Hanukkah, I’d just point at my stub-nose and say, ‘Not this goy’; but then again, I’m not racist, I just want to make people laugh.
So I’ve started a rewatch of B5, and just got to the first Mr. Morden episode. Let me just say again, this show works on so many levels.
I apparently need to revisit B5. I loved that series.
If you have Amazon Prime, you can stream it there.
Cool.
They’re the “enhanced” wide screen versions if you care.
/has the original versions downloaded on an external HD
I’m assuming they blocked the shows for 4:3 broadcast but actually filmed them in 16:9?
I believe they filmed them in HD, but the CGI can’t stand up to the modern day. I’m currently watching the episode that deals with sitting Shiva (which was the only introduction I had to the concept).
Wide Receiver at Colin Kaepernick’s Workout Gets Tryout With Cleveland Browns
???
Sweet, sweet karma.
LOL
More fuel for Kaepernick’s delusions.
They obviously only gave Veasy a tryout because he’s white.
For any Kapp supporters out there, I’ve got 2 words. Michael Bennett. See Michael was also a vocal blm supporter and knee taker. But he was also a sack master. Hence Seattle couldn’t afford to keep him, but they tolerated his shenanigans. See, starters can get away with more bs than third stringers. FWIW he also didn’t run around in Che shirts.
Also, Kap’s former teammate and kneeler Eric Reid
And Bennett agreed not to kneel in Dallas.
What’s this? Another thread?
It is another thread, the best thread. Bigly.
I got distracted painting a Tyrannid.
At least I’m 60% done with the Dictator Bee.
I HATE PAINTING ‘NIDS!
So amny irregular details with sharp or irregulat textures. And more spikes than Chaos.
Finally. Got all the claws, spines, and random details covered.
Now I wait for the first coat to dry and go back and clean up details.
I first read that as “I hate painting nads”
So far I’ve been able to not have to do that.
YAY!
Good enough for table top.
That looks awesome!
Thank you.
Should’t you be writing a sequel, Rothfuss?
Which one? Shadowfire? Fili Invictus? Junior Redemptioners? Red Ledger? Seven Gun?
Yes
Can you even name which of my books those are in-progress sequels to?
Shadow demon, No, The team one (something 8?)? No*, No*.
*One of those may be the Dug ‘Thickbottom’ Fitzhelen book but I thought it had a different name that I can’t be arsed to recall right now.
Pedantically, Shadowfire is the working title for the Travis-narrated Tarnished Sterling book after Shadowrealm, which was the Travis-narrated book after Snadowdemon so I’ll give that one to you.
Fili Invictus is the in progress sequel to Scintilla Vitae, a book I can’t monetize.
Junior Redemptioners is the narrative sequel to Lucid Blue, so you get partial credit, since it was a team book.
Red Ledger is the sequel to The Cure, my earliest book.
Seven Gun is a sequel to Cult of Steel (no link available).
The in-progress sequel to Beyond the Edge of the Map is On Unknown Shores.
Man, fuck that guy.
For someone with a reputation for hating anything fun, flavorful, or exciting you are certainly gifted artistically. So which part is the act?
The running gag accusing me of preferring bland and boring was spread by other people. Mostly because I only commented when I disagreed with the concensus.
What about the gloves?
I do have driving gloves, and nitrile gloves for cooking or spray priming. And Ifind those jokes funnier.
I was aiming for sincere compliment and meta joke about the running gag. I hope it came through that way.
Don’t worry. I appreciate the effort (and the compliment)
I don’t recall seeing the driving gloves when we met for lunch. Were you afraid you’d get bratwurst juice on them?
I left them in the glove compartment.
Why would I take the driving gloves out of the car?
UCS With THE FINISHER!
I umm…uh, yeah. Well, it was good seeing you.
A glass a day…
Well, you’re not quite adventurous either. I’d say it works to an extent; but there is a character to play, and you do play it well, and without hesitation. I say this as a good thing. It just makes me sad I didn’t think to present you with cheese eating gloves, that would have been epic!
That would have been funny.
UCS, is that some kind of carnifex mutation/cross-breed/evolution?
It’s a Hive Tyrant, base kit, wings and scything talons, using the on the ground feet instead of the flying feet.
Thaaat’s it! I never got into Tyranid back in my game store days…Or, any other time, for that matter.
Carnifexes(?) are some of the last remnants in my memory.
He is the gentle giant type. A simple man, who enjoys the simple things. I don’t know how he does that detail work with his giant mitts; when I do things like that I always feel like Lenny petting the bunny.
Damn. Wisconsin is taking it to Minniesoda.
Waiting for the OU v OSU game just because I hate OU. Not that I am a fan of OSU. It is just a big hate.
Ah yes, the battle to see who really is THE Ohio state university.
Hopefully they take the axe to OSU next.
Nope!
You know Uncanny Valley? Just had an old woman show up on my doorstep, saying she had just gotten out of the hospital, was the sister of my next-door neighbor, and wanted me to take her to get her rx filled and bring her back to sit and wait for her sister to get home. She had a hospital bracelet. I called the hospital. They couldn’t tell me anything bc HIPAA. Apparently someone in my neighborhood called the police (we were debating whether we should) (Mr. Mojeaux was getting ready to take her to Walgreen’s).
Thing was, she knew all the right names for my neighbor, so I believe she was her sister, but … I also don’t. She was all there mentally, but … not. It was like Uncanny Valley for mental health. She didn’t have her sister’s cell (neither do I). So many weird details, but so many of them plausible.
We just really didn’t know what to do, but the police took her. She was all there, but she was not all there, but not in any forthright way. Very disconcerting.
“apparently someone in my neighborhood called the police (we were debating whether we should)”
So, you wanted her or someone close to you, to die? Have we taught you nothing?
You’re semi-teasing, I know, but here’s my cop dilemma:
I have been stopped for speeding and treated with dignity, though I still got a ticket (sometimes). My son has been stopped on a hot day when he was out, for the cop to say it was too hot, ask him if he wanted a ride home, if he had water. Son said no because I’d flip my lid if he came home with a cop. There are other small experiences, none of which have ever been negative.
My dad hated cops because he often had to work against them in his line of work and the KCMO cops back then were selected FOR their sociopathy, not IN SPITE of it. I’ve grown up knowing cops were “bad.” I see the stories and cops are “bad.”
Yet my personal experience with them has never been anything but courteous, professional, and helpful.
It’s a philosophical dilemma for me.
You mean they’re human, just like the rest of us?
Except for with diplomatic immunity for murdering you because your cell phone looked like a gun or you interrupted their doughnut time.
I’m talking about the actual people, not the policies. I’ve worked with a number of different law enforcement agencies. They all had good people, and some turds. I’ve also worked with turd EMTs, turd Paramedics, and turd firefighters.
My dad also didn’t like firefighters, but that was mostly because of the percentage of disability calculator for each injury no matter how small.
I did have a friend who was a BLM firefighter (#BLM confuses the hell out of me) and he said it was the greatest welfare program ever. He bred Jack Russells in his off hours.
And again, it’s not the people, it’s the policies. I was a fire Captain and my dad was pissed as hell at some of the perks the local department received. Get pissed at the politicians that said, “okay” instead of the people who asked for something.
As for the BLM, they handle all the federal land that no other agency wants.
My Brother In Law is a firefighter, and did work as an EMS before that. I like him, and he and I will gladly argue politics for days. Yet we can both agree to disagree, pour a pint, drink, and walk away as friends. I like him (and I actually hope he likes me).
And again, my experiences with cops, EMS, and firefighters have been nothing but positive, even when I got cited for something. I deserved it, no question, but I was always treated with courtesy and dignity.
“Don’t get in the way of the narrative” is not just a prog vice.
That’s good to hear. There are turds in every profession. I’ve been threatened to be arrested because I wouldn’t open a lane on the freeway at an accident. I’ve given cops a ration of shit because they put somebody on a mental health hold because CYA. There was a small city I worked in as a medic that nobody trusted the police department because everybody knew they were as corrupt as hell. But the bad were far over shadowed by the good that actually cared.
Get pissed at the politicians that said, “okay” instead of the people who asked for something.
Why not both?
Spudalicious: My BIL has a fun story he’s told about cops stopping in the fire house, and being scared and upset that they’re eating baked goods that were given to them. His story ends with him saying, “We’re firefighters, people are glad when we show up.”
No kidding. It ain’t easy being the public conscious. People like firefighters for the most part. I put on weight every holiday season, just because of the food that kept showing up at the front door.
@Hype
Then you should also be pissed at everyone who’s ever asked their boss for a raise.
Then you should also be pissed at everyone who’s ever asked their boss for a raise.
If those people’s bosses are using the violence inherent in the system to fund those raises then you’d be right, but since most people’s raises/compensation aren’t based on ‘how much can we squeeze from the public coffers’ I’d wager I’m safe only being pissed at teachers,cops,politicians,postal workers,street/water/sewer department employees, park/DMV workers, and firemen.
Spudalicious: My BIL is willing to argue with me about public unions, and will still willingly invite me over to his house. He actually asked me for recommendations for anti police reads that weren’t just hatred for cops. I recommended Balko (it was back in the day). I believe he respects my opinion, and I respect his.
It’s interesting, Neph. I was a conservative serving on a union executive board. I went against my values several times, because I was elected to represent the will of the majority, not my own views.
Spudalicous: My BIL’s main defense was that it took the decisions out of the hands of the worst elected officials to something agreed upon from both parties. The area he’s in charge of has been safe for a long time, and I like him enough that I don’t want to cause problems when I’m a guest.
yeah, well, when a guy handcuffs you, searches your car, impounds it (costing around 500-1000 bucks) and then takes you to a concrete box and hits you with a bogus made up charge like exhibition of speed (again costing you around a grand) and all because you have long hair, tattoos and were driving a souped up ’66 chevelle, it’s always a cop. Other people just don’t do things like that, like, NEVER! The entirety of the population who would consider this stuff is made up entirely of cops. I know some of them are cool, and they’re just people like anyone else, but they do shit like that everyday. They jack single mom waitress types out of thousands of dollars based solely on a flawed opinion.They “adjust” evidence whenever they feel like a bad guy might not get convicted. I can’t speak for the whole country, but here in L.A. it happens everyday and it’s happened to me prolly a dozen times. Straight out lies, because I “looked” like somebody who oughta be guilty. I’m out of the window, age wise, now but in my twenties, it was a weekly occurrence. You want respect? Don’t do that shit.
Yes.
My dad wasn’t wrong. He lived in fear they would plant drugs in his car in retaliation. Lots of stories, and lots of stories now that my dad would say, “See? Totally out of control.”
And there’s Balko.
Yet … none of it jives with my experience.
“My dad wasn’t wrong. He lived in fear they would plant drugs in his car in retaliation.”
They actually got caught at this once in Baltimore. Probably out the hundreds or thousand of times they got away with it.
They’ve been caught doing that and worse out here numerous times. They told some gangbangers that a girl snitched on them ( she didn’t) to try and trick them into confessing and they killed her dead. She was like 15 y/o. The hit was odered via jail phone call. It was recorded but no one listened and she got no warning. Yeah, I kinda dislike them, some.
Sorry, the bangers killed her for “snitching.”
And, if you had taken her to the pharmacy, se may have taken all the right pills.
This is my contribution to this particular thread.
/ahem
She probably threw heavenly parties and paid heavenly bills.
::points at Mojeaux and taps nose, but, not for cocaine::
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie.
I’ve met and been friends with good cops. Heck, my brother is about to go to academy if he can make it through the behaviorals.
Just like anybody else with authority/power, I try to avoid cops’ notice, because I dont get to choose whether I’m interacting with a good one or a bad one.
Yep. They’re like pit bulls. 95% are nice and friendly. It’s the other 5 that will fuck up your shit without a second thought.
As a long haired punk, I never had a good encounter with any cop. My one time getting arrested (for a DUI) had the police report saying I was both cooperative, and uncooperative (in the same paragraph).
Since my heads been shaved, the cops treat me much better, which irritates me in different ways.
I never had any experience with them growing up, that was not positive. I remember seeing them on street corners when I was little kid and they would talk with us. I thought there are good guys who protect you from the bad guys. I never heard of cops killing innocent people. Maybe it happened, just there was no internet or social media back then.
First time I remember anything negative, I was living in KY working on a construction project and my cousin was visiting down from Cincy.
He had went to the store to pick up some stuff and a cop followed him right into our driveway. The cop comes up to the driver side window and says ‘Hey hippy, where’s the dope!?’. So my cousin says ‘I don’t have any dope’. That was when I came out of the house and approached, and the cop says ‘You know this dirty hippy dope smoker!?’. And I said ‘That’s my cousin’. And the cop says ‘I’m watching ya’ll, I better not find any dope around here!’. All of this I guess because of the Ohio plates and my cousin had long hair.
Haven’t really had much experience with them since, I avoid them like the plague.
I ran in different circles when I was younger. Hair down to my waist, full on hating authority. Getting pulled over on a regular basis only helped to feed that hate. Now I look like a respectable person, and people are more shocked when I mention that I dislike cops.
When I was younger, poorer, drove shitty cars, and had longer hair, I had more encounters with the cops and a significant number were unpleasant. There were a few where the cops were professional.
Now I’m older. I have a bigger bank account. I drive a nice car. I have short hair. I can’t remember the last time I had dealings with a cop other than having to renew my pistol license. Thanks to NH moving to Constitutional Carry, I might not have to do that anymore. I might do it so I have a piece of paper for reciprocity purposes for when I travel to PA or NC.
I grew up in a tiny town where all the cops, including the chief, would routinely stop into our house in the evening because they knew there would be a pot of coffee and a chess game available. I had nothing but positive interactions with them growing up.
When I lived in LA, I was part of a circle of homicide cops who hung out at a bar where I played music. Nothing but positive interactions.
When I lived in the middle of nowhere, I also worked Fire/EMS so knew all the cops at all level of jurisdiction, and taught a bunch of them. Nothing but positive interactions.
THEN a newly minted State Trooper from the city was assigned to our district, and made it a point to harass me when a fellow city dweller with a hunting camp up the road from my house claimed I had discharged a weapon at his semi-feral dogs (I had not, because if I had, I would have hit them and they would have been dead). Nothing but negative interactions with that guy. Apparently I wasn’t the only one, because he was transferred shortly thereafter.
When I lived in Santa Fe, I was back to nothing but positive interactions, including the guys who trained in BJJ at the same studio as WebDom.
And, I’m happy to say, no interactions with them in the last 10 years, except once when a nice female cop neighbor delivered a package to our place when it was mis-delivered to hers.
But don’t get me started on the way my son, Captain America, was treated by the City of Rochester, NY cops under a bullshit firearm law.
Captain America was fucked up royally by the cops.
I understand Spud’s point, but… even if 90% of cops don’t act like turds (and my experience has been very mixed), when one of them is on the line for being a turd, even a murderous turd, nearly 100% will get behind him. And 100% of the unions. I cannot forgive that.
If I ask my boss for a raise, but I’m paying him off as well, we have a word for that, starts with “b.” The public employee unions are all major political donors, which sorta makes the whole process innately corrupt.
Public unions do not make sense.
They do if you look at them as the money-laundering operations they really are.
^this^
Unless we want to concede that a tax payer funded entity should be able to vote themselves more money, from us.
They should be disbanded, forever.
Even FDR was against public unions.
Hey Ralph, it’s called the Constitution, you cunte.
This shit is going to end very poorly. Is Northam gonna send state troopers and/or the national guard to enforce his bullshit laws?
No, they’ll just give up their rights willingly, so he won’t have to.
I really hope that they stand their ground. Shit’s gonna get bad fast if/when they don’t.
Like I said, the dems will say ‘We don’t want to take you guns!’. Except for those bad people! We need red flag laws, because the children! And every single Republican will vote for it. Because it will never affect you, only bad people.
I only hope that the extremely stratified nature of VA gives us a fighting chance to push back…
I guess I never will find out because I can’t afford the extravagant cost of real estate down there.
I only hope that I can find a buyer who can afford to buy this dump in a couple years so that we can GTFO back to Texas (or, preferably, somewhere else in flyover country that actually has 4 seasons)
I’m going to buy here, for now, but it’s relatively cheap here compared to NOVA. When I retire, I’m thinking SC or TN.
Come to TN. They value leaving people the fuck alone for the most part, and outside of Nashville, it’s quite affordable.
It will never affect them either, when everyone down to city dogcatcher has a freaking security detail now.
Same in CO
Sheriff in a neighboring county based his decision to refuse enforcement on officer safety. He knows his deputies are going to get shot if they try to take the rednecks guns around these parts. I never heard what Gov Polis had to say about that.
“Hey Ralph, it’s called the Constitution, you cunte.”
So, that means they’re going to ignore unconstitutional gun control laws previously passed by the federal government, right? Sure, what a fucking joke, and when the new democrats now in control of the VA legislature pass even more violations the 2nd, they”ll say ‘You ain’t taking muh guns, I mean except for that’.
I dunno… it’s not like every other law isn’t selectively enforced. I guess it comes down to how serious the Dems are about disarming the citizenry.
They’re very serious about that. They can’t nullify the first amendment before they totally eradicate the 2nd.
Person sucks at job, gets adoring exposé in woke NY Post.
46 years old? Good God, they must have already worked that poor guy to death, he looks 70 at least.
Pssst. “Maureen”
Wait… WTF? That’s not a woman, that’s a man baby! I mean… if that’s a man, someone seriously beat her with the ugly stick! They beat all the estrogen and about 25 years out of her. She has a hell of a case.
The horror!
Does sound like a soul draining job though. I imagine most warehouse work is pretty routine.
Yeah, it’s definitely not for me. I’m sure it’s great for lots of people – or, you know, there wouldn’t be thousands of people gladly doing it. Unless Amazon is SO evil they’ve managed to brainwash them into doing it. I mean, that is the level of delusion all the anti-Amazon people bring to the table.
My summer job in the factory inspired me to find something else to do.
Hell, sometimes I think these pampered college milennials need to work in a factory for a year to learn some hard lessons about what your life will be like if the only value you bring to the company is a pulse.
I’ve done warehouse work (first at a paper company distribution centre, then at a furniture discounter). Warehouse work is a mix of boring (99%) and dangerous (1%, give-or-take). Common accidents in the paper distributor were amputed appendages (mostly fingers), while crushed feet and/or falls from height were the main dangers of the furniture place. The mix of tedium and heavy/overhead work can actually be lethal if you’re not careful.
…and then there’s the .0001% that end like this.
Heheheheh…just like the Blues Brothers.
/imagine that said like Homer simpsons
It doesn’t sound much different from when I worked at a factory for a summer. That was pre-cell phone, but we have any kind of headphones, had to stand and clock in and out. They were very strict about breaks, there was mandatory overtime.
At the first ambulance company I worked for, you didn’t get paid for meals if you got an hour during the prescribed time periods. You also didn’t get paid at night if you got eight hours of sleep. So if it was a quiet shift, you could be at work for 24 hours and only get paid for 13. Getting a call that went from 2am into 3am was a cause for celebration.
Working in a warehouse sucks.
Who knew.
Did that in high school. Convinced me my Old Man was actually right – go to school or you’ll end up busting your ass like me.
I worked for almost 16 years at a Walmart warehouse. I am laughing at this woman’s complaints.
Wanna know whats worse than all those robots with you while you’re order filling? Not having those robots with you while you’re order filling.
Spot the Not: Colin Kaepernick
1. I’m not too big on feelings.
2. I think the biggest part of my game that’s underestimated is the mental part of it.
3. I don’t play for job security.
4. We have a presidential candidate who’s deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. That doesn’t make sense to me, because if that was any other person, you’d be in prison. So what is this country really standing for?
5. Life is a debate, so you got to have your cards in order.
6. You have to take care of the ball to win football games.
Based on his play I’d say number 6.
Thank you Dom Capers. 🙁
1. You can’t be woke if you’re not ALL about feelings.

You’re really not as funny as you think.
But I’m way more funny than you think I am. Also, you’re under mind control of Glib Squad Prime, The Worst and aren’t even aware of it, so you’re forgiven.
There is not one woman on this site who is under anyone else’s control. We might TOLERATE something/someone, but don’t mistake it for submission.
“There is not one woman on this site who is under anyone else’s control.”
Exactly what Glib Squad Prime, The Worst would say.
You realize that every time you call me The Worst or “Glib Squad Prime, The Worst,” what I hear is your knees creaking as you get on them in front of me to kiss my toes and say, “Yes, My Queen. What is your will, My Queen?”
You’re not funny. You’ve offended me. I’m triggered. No more fun around here. Get serious.
Did you just ask me to spank you and send you to your room?
Yes, yes you did.
You mean it’s not The Wurst? It has nothing to do with yummy German sausage? I has a a sad.
I’m not the one with the sausage in this house. ?
And the one that is here is Italian.

So, you’re saying the Bee should hire me to make videos for them? I’m down with that.

That is why.
Yep, timeless comedy, that’s why The Onion is the best, BB’s stuff will be a relic of it’s time.
I love old school Onion as much as the next guy, but I’m not gonna say BB doesn’t have some good timeless articles, mostly in their christian satire.
The cyclops also thinks Jon Stewart is a better comedian than Johnny Carson.
The Onion sometimes remembers it’s supposed to be a satire of journalism and not current events, and when it does, it’s masterful.
I don’t consider either of them to be comedians. Carlin, Pryor, Cosby, Stanhope, them’s comedians, Also I have two eyes, they are just very close set, jerk.
I don’t care which site you think satires better, as long as you agree this is the Top o The Pops of satirical news videos.

Awww, OK. You’re no longer the worst. I’ll take my fond memories of when this site was still fun and remain silent. Most of the time anyway. No more fun, I’m a serious person. Now then.
Yes, yes, we’re nothing but the fun police. You’re so persecuted.
Don’t worry, you’ve saved her. It’s going to be OK.
Tulip, he lives in Baltimore. Take some satisfaction in that punishment.
“Tulip, he lives in Baltimore. Take some satisfaction in that punishment.”
You are aware it’s not nice to condone cruel and unusual punishment?
Oh I don’t mind being The Worst. I am fully aware you are acknowledging my alphaness.
Is “there are no libertarian women sexist”? I have always seen it in the context of “Libertarian guys are outcast autists and no women would be caught dead near any of them”. I don’t see a lot of hostility based sexism here. I see a lot of white knighting, which I suppose is sexist in that not calling female posters on their bullshit in contexts where you would call a male poster on his is different treatment.
I don’t really see any of us XXs bullshitting, but I do see that we can’t often tell what’s bullshitting, what’s serious, and what’s the alcohol talking.
I assume it’s mostly the alcohol talking.
Just for the record, when it comes from me, it’s always bullshitting. Now go make me a sammich.
You do know poison is a woman’s weapon, right?
Fear me.
*poisons Spud’s sammich to throw suspicion on Mojeaux*
Spud is done eating sammiches for the time being.
A shame. This leftover smoked turkey makes excellent sammiches.
Now who’s being sexist?
What I mean by bullshit is saying something with regard to a situation in the speaker’s life or opinions, which either is not consistent with previously stated principles, or which is couched in a way that begs or demands approval, despite not meriting approval on the stated facts, often with a dramatic, angry, or challenging tone. I am not calling anyone out for a specific case. I do not think this is unique to women, or even more common among women than men, and not every female poster does this here. I do think that when male posters do this they generally get called on it and when female posters do it they don’t.
Hyperion sometimes gets hostile in tone. My comment about narrative above was largely directed his way because of this, but I love this place and there is nothing more poisonous to a community than people using accusations of sexism and racism when fighting with another member. It is ad hominem. It is prog bullshit. It is not an argument and I’ll stand up and get flamed to oppose it.
She didn’t bottle it up and then flounce out with a “You guys suck!” She just said it got tedious, and it does, the same way any old-joke-is-old-now joke gets.
And my comment was “Lighten up Francis” and was explicitly directed at you and Hyp as much as her. It wasn’t “OMG How dare you!”
This site is built on old jokes, Tulpa!
Francis is a boy’s name. Sexist.
It is.
“Hyperion sometimes gets hostile in tone.”
I don’t even get that, Jar. Thanks for your defense, but I don’t really know when I’m hostile, unless it’s against the state or the left. Certainly not against our own community.
Not directly toward any of us. But you go into angry, bitter conservatarian mode sometimes and seem to get stuck in that voice.
Ok, I am officially done with this 🙂 I am not the arbiter of behavior here or anywhere else. I just have buttons and one got pushed.

I’m fully aware that there are libertarian women. Sometimes. I mean not all day every day, but sometimes on some days, depending on stuff.
To be honest, I like Moj, or I wouldn’t be willing to spend energy to try to trigger her, because it’s all in fun. But no worries, I never meant to offend anyone and so will stop doing it.
Since you’re feeling magnanimous now would be a good time to change your handle.
I was here first. At least that’s they way I remember things. Contrarian Asshole would be a good new name for you, lol. Can you get that done today?
I am fully aware you are pulling my pigtails. It’s what boys do. ?
And that’s why I just got accused of sexism? Not a problem, I have thick skin or I wouldn’t have lasted more than a decade on TOS and here.

Also, I’d be livid if I accidentally deleted my saves…

The really big CFB news today was that Mount Union lost at home in the D3 playoffs and went out in the second round for the first time since 1994.
The important part is that the classic Oklahoma State v U of Oklahoma “bedlam” game is kicking off In less than half an hour.
My Alma mater (ok state) has no shot at the playoffs. But we would love to spoil the Sooners chances.

How can you not love this?
I was trapped in OK for damn near a decade and hate OU. Not because of the guys who play, but rather their idiotic fans. They have the outright stupidest cheer in all of college football. WTF does Boomer Sooner mean? Nobody could ever answer that.
Boomers were racist zealots who claimed that God has commanded that white people should settle Oklahoma.
Sooners were criminals who stole land.
Without them, Oklahoma would still belong to the Indians.
“Boomers were racist zealots who claimed that God has commanded that white people should settle Oklahoma.”
I thought that was Mormons?
They were commanded to settle Missouri.
And then somehow ended up in Idaho. Funny how that happens.
Sometimes God’s commands are misunderstood. This probably has something to do with the fact that angels can’t understand Aramaic.
Independence, Mo is supposed to be be the new Jerusalem, I think. I say, more Mormons there could only be an improvement. Of course, they may not want it now. It’s not a nice town. Some of the most dangerous and scandalous shit I did as a kid was around Independence.
Something Extermination, something order.
Whole I was born in Independence, it is, indeed, the buttcheek of humanity.
Raytown, now, that is the inflamed hemorrhoid on the asshole of humanity.
It was a convenient plot point for my Prohibition novel.
LDS: Sorry, I live within spitting distance of Kirtland.
Let me know if there’s an pictures or the like you would like from the area.
Missouri declared open season on Mormons with no bag limits. They started in Utah and then moved west to Idaho.
It didn’t even stop when they left Missouri. They left the United States and the US Army came after them anyway.
You know who else left Missouri and had the US Army come after him after he refused to surrender, and met up with an old Indian and a couple pilgrims and made a peace pact with Ten Bears?
Pecos Bill?
I watched that last night. Great movie. I also watched Sergeant York. It was a very testosterone movie night.
I never heard that Boomer explanation. A Sooner I know. Full disclosure my great grandfather was one. And they didn’t steal the land the government did and then gave it away.
If I steal money and plan to give it away on Friday, but you steal it from me on Thursday, there are no non-thieves in this story.
YOU CALLING MY GREAT GRANDFATHER A THIEF RAT?
Meeeh, he probably was. Granddad joined the army when he was 16 (WWI) to get out of there. His dad was reportedly a right mean prick.
Ok, Boomer

Well, many months after our upstairs main bathroom toilet decided to crack its tank and spew thousands o’litres of water up-and-downstairs in our new home, we’re finally getting the insurance-supplied flooring done, over the next two weeks. The entire downstairs gets re-carpeted next Wednesday through Friday, and then most of the upstairs gets new vinyl plank flooring the following Monday through the 17th of December.
So the spousal unit and I have to sequester the entire basement into a single 300 sq. ft. room that isn’t being re-done, and then when finished, perform the same feat for the upstairs. I’m beat. The wife’s beat. Wine is flowing freely to address the aches and pains of our just-on-the-verge-of-elderly bodies. And we’ve got three more days to go just for the basement.
Ugh.

Why is this guy news still, whats Tebow up to nowadays?
Because identity politics.
whats Tebow up to nowadays?
Motivational speaking and he has a gig on the SEC network as an analyst.
He had a fun little home-building reality show a few years ago.
And is engaged to a hottie spinner that he’s not having sex with.
I’d be more impressed with his celibacy if he wasn’t so clearly gay. Nothing wrong with it, but dude is clearly gay and using religion as an excuse to not be banging all the broads, not some noble straight guy abstaining out of restraint.
Re: cops,
I’ve known lots of cops, had (and have) them as teachers, co-workers and friends.
All of them, without exception, were willing to abuse their authority if they thought the object of their abuse deserved it. Ditto lying.
^^^ This. I’ve had lots of friends, aquaintainces that were cops. None of them did i think were policing their own.
I’m 2 for 2. Also: no amount of force is too much so as I’ve heard.
I had one who straight up told me the shooting where the guy killed the kid in the back was justified.
Interesting observation and one I really can’t argue with.
One of my friends in blue was a gay cop in Dallas. He would work the Pride parade and find excuses to arrest the anti-gay protesters. He would describe his favorite tactic which was to approach them from a direction where if they would back away they would move into the parade route (justifying the arrest). If they raised their hands they’d be removed for obstructing an officer. If course, they were never booked, just sullied and removed from the parade.
My thought is that’s the corruption of power. When you’re given authority, you’re going to use it. That’s human nature. If your personality is not the type that can control it, you’re going to abuse it. Cops and firefighters work alongside each other, but the personality type is very different. Cops have a more authoritarian bent. But I’ve experienced it in the fire service, as well.
Case in point. My next door neighbor is retired from LA Sheriffs department, and is on the HOA board. He sent out an e-mail complaining about people parking the wrong way on a blind curve, and should we notify the local PD? My response was, “regardless of which way the vehicle is pointing, it’s still parked on a blind curve”. Subject dropped.

This guy gets it. I mean, he really fucking gets it.
Yep, that was not a good move at all. You’re still a Niners fan, right Mike? What do you think of tomorrow? I see they are still at -6.5. They should win this one, but it will be their toughest opponent all year. Should be a good game, but I imagine it will be a low scoring one with the weather.
I’m still trying to figure out what it is about California that makes the Packers offense shit the bed.
Smug Poisoning.
The Niners have a top line defense, but even I was surprised that they beat them like that. It’s rare to see Rodgers shaken like that.
The Chargers game brings more questions as to whether it was anything San fran did, or the Packers shitting the bed, as those are their two worst performances this season, and two totally different teams, the only cominality is California.
I am. Well, a “returning” fan. I’ve been one my whole life, but Harbaugh and Kap, followed by being fucking terrible really strained my loyalty. I’ve just very recently started paying a little attention. Richard Fucking Sherman being on the team doesn’t help, but I’m starting to get back into it. I mean, I lived through Deon Sanders and T.O….

“I’m still in shock,” Kinzer says of what he learned about the appalling experiments conducted by a government scientist most Americans have never heard of. “I can’t believe that this happened.”
I can believe it happened.
“Spent the morning at the Indigenous People’s Sunrise Ceremony on the 50 year anniversary of the Occupation of Alcatraz,” Kaepernick tweeted on Thanksgiving day.
“The US government has stolen over 1.5 billion acres of land from Indigenous people. Thank you to my Indigenous family, I’m with you today and always.”
On one hand, the Feds have always been shitty to the Indians. On the other hand, Kaepernick can go fuck himself. On the gripping hand, Kaepernick can go fuck himself.
On my drive home tonight, a deer ran out in front of my car. I slammed on my brakes. The deer, like Jeffrey Epstein, didn’t kill himself.
We fucked over the Indians hard. Interestingly enough, it was the Pilgrims that made the longest lasting treaty with the Indians(54 years), and it was the Indians that broke it.
A friend of mine from Ye Olden Days of Yore has a saying. “Ask an American Indian if you can trust the government.”
Victor’s history.
Noting that it’s a bit of a misnomer to talk about Pilgrims versus “the Indians” as the colonists and the various tribes constantly played one off of each other. During the Pequot War that led to the treaty, the Pilgrims teamed up with the Mohegan and Narragansett to fight the Niantic and Pequot after the Niantics killed an English pirate in self-defense. Peace would last until King Philip’s War in which the Plymouth Colony having suffered a diplomatic breakdown with the Wampanoag did everything they could but publicly wipe their own asses with the treat wampum to initiate hostilities with them. This time around the Mohegan and the Pequot fought on the side of the Pilgrims.
Again, far from a monolithic Indian vs. White Man conflict that Kap and his merry band of ill-read morons paint it as, the situation in early Colonial-period New England was more like the current clusterfuck in Syria, with a billion different small bands of militia who constantly switch allegiances.
The Indians lost and therefore suffered much more harm. The distribution of virtue and vice was far more even. The idea that having bad things happen to you confers purity is nonsense.
One of the things I like the least about American culture is our penchant to root for the underdog.
The national founding narrative and each immigrant wave were a mass of underdog stories.
Wouldn’t You? What do you have against him?
The pill popping sets a bad example for the yutes.
No, no, no. The Indians were a monolithic block, just like whites, blacks, browns, and yellows.

My flight home tomorrow has already been cancelled. Usually they pretend it will make and leave me stranded in an airport somewhere.
I’m not looking forward to the drive in to work on Monday. Unfortunately, company policy is you have to work a full shift the day before and after the paid holidays, and show up on time, to get the holiday pay.
I much prefer when they let you know before you have to go to the airport
Vent time: I’m the volunteer leader of the group at my church that works the video screens and the lights during service every week. I wasnt really looking to be leader of this group, but I was thrust into the role when the leader moved out of the country and her husband (the second most experienced person) went with her.
Anyway, I’ve discovered why they’re hurting so bad for volunteers. The particularly noxious mix of disorganization and raw desperation drives people off, including me. I’m gone after Christmas.
Anyway, what pisses me off is that they take advantage of my kindness and my skill. Dumping stuff on me the day before so that I have to get to church at 6am to get it all done is downright obnoxious. Getting panicked calls every Sunday as they try to force the other members of the team to go beyond their experience level is exhausting.
Long story short, I wanted to pour a bunch of effort into leaving the ministry better than I found it, but after receiving 5 emails, 2 calls, and a bevy of texts in the last two days, I’m just gonna phone it in. Moral of the story is that no matter how much you say you appreciate your volunteer help, abusing them shows exactly how little you appreciate what they do.
I really don’t get video at church. I’m a Catholic. What the fuck does video have to do with church?

I go to my niece’s Baptist Christmas pageant every year, and I have to say I prefer my religious music less contemporary. historically the greatest musical talents wrote sacral music and understood the mood and atmosphere of reverence. Christian rock misses on all three counts. It is written by hacks, it evokes moods more suited to a party, and it comes across as a parody of reverence.
But what else will make the 40-something soccer moms feel cool around their disengaged teenage kids
*remembers the partially completed article on the shortcomings of the modern church*
Marty Haugen can burn in Hell.
I have this mental image of Christianity largely resulting from reading CS Lewis that is constantly trying to bring me back to the faith. That impulse is always blocked by two things. First my skepticism, which might be overcome if it weren’t for the second thing. The churches. They seem to either be cheesy, engaged in a cultlike denial of scientific knowledge or both.
They seem to either be cheesy, engaged in a cultlike denial of scientific knowledge or both.
Yup. It’s a complex issue, but the modern church seems to operate at the intellectual and emotional level of a 14 year old. There are pockets of very intelligent, thoughtful, mature people, but they’re awash in a sea of 8th graders in adult bodies.

Yeah, the most technical position at my church was the (electric) organist.
The organist at my church looked like he had been 90 years old for decades.
Either a fantastic thing or a terrible thing depending on when that started.
No good deed goes unpunished. Then again, maybe you’ve been handed a challenge on purpose?
If we were planning on staying with the church, I’d think harder about sticking with it, but Im deriving zero enjoyment out of it at this point. Everything in our lives is pointing in one direction right now, and that direction is away from this church and toward a different one.
Sounds like they need to hire a professional sound guy.
I understand adulterating the expensive drugs but wouldn’t something inert be preferable to killing your customers? Damn. I could never understand using rat poison
instead of baking soda (Not familiar with the drug scene so disregard my ignorance) as an extender. Even Coke uses HFCS as a cheap substitute for a sweetener.
Yeah, well you obviously haven’t met the sort of vermin I have in my past. I knew some guys in Cincy who were basically gangsters. A couple of my cousins were involved with those guys and I always told them they should stay away from those guys. I remember one of them bragging to me that he shot a guy up with heroin in downtown Cincy and basically OD’d him on purpose, bragging that the guy walked about 10 ft from the car and fell over dead. That shit literally made me sick. I wanted to stab that fucker in the face right then. But his comrades would have killed me before the day was over. Don’t think that people are not that evil, they are.
The generational thing has limited my experiences, certainly. Even moonshiners want to make money selling the best product. Another reason for drugs to be legalized.

I am replaying DA:Inquisition, and I keep marveling at how a game with exceptional depth of world building, well fleshed out characters and a slew of elements I like in other games just missed the mark. The first one is an all time favorite. The second one was blah. This one is like a book you can appreciate for being masterful, but can’t get into.
That’s a really good game, and I haven’t finished it yet. DA2, IMHO, is one the most underrated games of all time. That and TW2 2.

Why? It has great guitar playing, a great hook, STING!, social commentary…It’s a fun song.
I know there’s no accounting for taste, but, damn…
I dunno. Overexposure + not my thing + timing?
It’s not always easy to explain very long held convictions – but I have always hated that song.
I think overexposure is likely it for a lot of people with various songs (myself included). Another reason to hate commercial radio.
Yeah! Fuck radio! *drunkenly stumbles into chair*
You know what I mean, CPRM.
Like many groups the songs that ‘made’ them are crap. It’s why I have a strict no Greatest Hits album policy. All but the shittiest bands have better B sides and un-charted singles than hits. The Beach Boys being the exception – everything they’ve done sucks balls, see also Jimmy Buffet and Mötley Crüe.
This comment right here is all the proof anyone needs (as if we needed more) that you like arguing for arguments’ sake. You really should change your handle to “The Contrarian”.
It would actually be much more accurate, since honestly, I don’t believe I’ve seen you engage in hyperbole any more than anyone else here. Probably less than many (including me).
That’s the most ridiculous statement ever, I am constantly using hyperbole, every second of every minute it’s just one hyperbole after another, each pushing the very limits of exaggeration to extremes never before even dreamed of.
I declared Hyperbole the biggest asshole, and so it is. That’s how presidential powers work! Get over it Boomer!
Hype; that was the most
hyperboliccontrarian statement I have ever read in my entire life, and likely since the beginning of time.And another thing, that comment wasn’t hyperbole or contrarian. Look, you’re a Steely Dan fan right? The songs on their Greatest hits album from the LP The Royal Scam are Kid Charlemagne and the Fez, it is undeniable that ‘Don’t take me alive” is the best track on that album and “sign in stranger” is at least as good as the ‘Hits’. It’s just science.
Marvelous 3 is better at Steely Dan than Steely Dan, fact.
No, MikeS is the Steely Dan hater. I’m the fan.
I shouldn’t even acknowledge that with a comment, but here we are.
Mo’; he’s very well aware of that. He’s just trying to push my buttons. Mostly because he likes me so much.
*puking emoji*
Scratches Mojew, Mujo; whatever, off the cool kids list.
Wait, what? I was ever ON it?!
You were, but now you’re not. Go sit at Hyperbole’s table and watch him drink milk through his nose.
*takes pumpkin pie over to Hyperbole’s table and sits*
Yes and no. Greatest Hits are good for bands I have no interest in digging deeper into.
But I have plenty of favorite bands where I can agree that the greatest hits are not their best songs.
This is true for my personal favorite: AC/DC
I agree that some of my most-beloved songs have been some obscure track on an album. But I have not had a whole lot of money to spend on the entire discography of every band I ever liked, so I get Greatest Hits albums for bands I’m superficially interested in.
What I WILL spend money on is various performances of different works, e.g., I have 5 performances of Carmina Burana. I have 4 of Handel’s Messiah. I have 3 of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto #3. I have 3 (I think) of Rhapsody in Blue. etc, etc, etc, you get the point.
If I find a VOICE I like, I will get the whole discography, e.g., Rumer.
Do you stand in the drive way and tell your neighbor he’s using the wrong tools as he’s working on his car?
The year you were born?!? Rusty chainsaws and wood chippers for you.
My Pinterest boards tell me my fashion sense is stuck in 1992.
Neon tracksuits and shoulder pads?
1982.
Do you still use blue eye shadow?
1977.
More like 1987.
I am feeling very old right now.
I just linked that Bowling for Soup song upthread.
I graduated from high school in 1986.
I was three…way to make me feel old Boomer!
Dude, I’m GenX.
Ok, Boomer.
That’s what my son said.
O lord…I hope you’re not up on current porn trends, that might be awkward….
Your history is full of step porn videos, CPRM, not biological.
He was studying the cinematography!
She was 28 at the time.
Hi SP, please give me dbleagles email address. Thanks!

Why did the Milwaukee Bucks wear jerseys that said, “Cream City” tonight?
If you have to ask, you don’t want to know.
The real question is why they don’t wear them every night.
Please explain this.
https://shop.bucks.com/collections/2019-2020-milwaukee-bucks-city-edition-collection/products/new-era-city-edition-cream-city-milwaukee-bucks-knit-hat
Milwaukee is the ‘Cream City’, because in the early 1900s they produced bricks that were ‘cream’ colored which were sold around the region. Sad that I have to esxplain this to another sconnie.
The Bucks have produced bricks for decades.
Yeah, it fits perfect.
I admittedly don’t follow basketball but I had literally never heard of this team before a year or so ago. They do keep a low profile.
Your mother just spent the week with the team?
Biden: ..by the way, I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun and the kids used to reach in the pool and rub my leg down and watch the hair come back up again..& I tell ya what the men, the guys I worked with down here, they were all guys at the time
*briefly considers voting for Biden for the lulz*
“…and I love kids jumping on my lap.”
How is this creepy dumb shit even elected to congress much less the leading Dem candidate?
The Senate, since he was 29. Had to get a special ruling because Senators need to be 30. Older now than McCain was when Team Obama (of which he was part of) decried McCain was too old to run. A special kind of asshole in deed.
“I love kids jumping on my lap….”……….and smelling their hair. How in the fuck has this guy been in public office his entire adult life?
Every time I read one of these things I think to myself “oh, come on – he didn’t say that”; and then there’s a video of it.
Exactly this
He’s no shit senile.
I can’t wait for Saint Nicholas Day!
*slaps crusty*
HERETIC!
Best Bad Company song.
No, don’t fight me.
Very good. This is (possibly) my favorite.
Either way, Paul Rodgers has one of the greatest ever voices in R&R.
I find that poignant as well. I just really like Bad Company.
Since I cleaned up, got all my paints and model-making stuff out again, and found my wire cutters, I picked up the kitbash project where I left off. Right now, I have everything I need to finish it… except maybe time.
Oh, and some of my paints are dried out, so I may need to replace those.
Am I the only one who read : ‘Oh, and some of my pants are dried out, so I may need to replace those.’
I hope you are the only one.
Though I do have to put some laundry on I only have four days of clean clothes left.
I just started a load of laundry because I’m out of socks. SOLIDARITY!
Gross. Hope you was those separately.
Is it racist to only use white socks as cum rags? The black ones stain more easily! Shit, not being racist is really hard!
Get your sister’s nude pantyhose.
Hah! My sister don’t wear pantyhose, I don’t think. Fuck if I know.
Folded T-shirt – Nitrile glove – Easy cleanup.
Well, I’ve had to leave the carriage to dry. It’s now midnight here. I’m going to sleep.
Best Supertramp song.
Now what you have said is the undisputed truth, but I have to do things my own way to keep me in my youth.

Just wait ’til you get the shit kicked outta you in Wisconsin!
Chicago should sue them. That is a shitty remake of 25 or 6 to 4.
Guess I could’ve read the comments.
What’s Your Warrior?
Oh what? This is Burger King now? Fuck off with that bullshit.

Better, but Be All You Can Be was better still.
A delightfully cheesy airborne ad from the 80s:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ6QX-OsWUc
“If you don’t think you can do it, don’t even try!”
Gee, thanks Sgt Yoda. You are the wind on top of my wings.

Fun facts: Average age of a WW2 soldier was 26 vs 19 in Vietnam. The college deferment thing came about because so many potential doctors, lawyers, and engineers did not survive WW2.
Also- WW2 vets were famously quiet. Partly because lobotomies were invented in 1945, and troublesome vets were many of the first “patients”.
Obligatory.
This might be before your time. 😛
…too.
That better be Paul Hardcastle.

If Derpy gets *really* derpy we should break out Sting’s “Russians”.
The conscription band during WWII was much larger than afterwards. I suspect that’s largely the cause of the age difference.
Also, if someone were to disinter MG Hershey and dump his remains into a dump, I wouldn’t shed a tear.
I have to give the Army credit. Jump School was very professionally run back in 1980. (Yes, we ran in boots and those green uniforms.) I last looked in at the school in 1997 and it was still professionally run but the troops used running shoes.
This is the recruiting commercial you should have been looking for. Airborne, heavy drop of a Gamma Goat and a classic line.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_OCDJIT344
(Historical note. The featured Solder was later “Chaptered” for pissing hot.}
“Yes, we ran in boots”
The Corcorans were for dress though. Are they still around?
Sorry splosives OSU got spanked.
Spanked? 24-10 isn’t that bad. No bowl game though.
You guys do realize their is another state that starts with an O right?
Osteriech?
Oral Slobbers University?
Oral Roberts.
There’s another another too.
That one doesn’t count. It has Portland in it.
Still ya gotta give props to their coach. Dude rocks a mullet. That takes balls.
He’s a man. He’s 40
Why is he yelling at me?
Because you make him puke.
But I have a kid. That video looks like Zubaz commercial outtakes.
You criticized his not very talented, but hard working player.
I wish I could find Carlson’s original article. My recollection is that it was fairly nasty, and showed that sportswriters can dish it out but not take it.
Damn. Dude a bit psycho.
This is why I’m a tOU fan.
Stone Cold!
Who shopped at a small business today on Small business Saturday? I did. I went to the liquor store.
Nope, didn’t even leave the house.
So we can blame the upcoming recession on you.
Hired a hooker to lick to toe jam. Does that count?
Yes
I didn’t leave the house except to take out some garbage. Sorry, Min-what’s his name with the commercial that aired fifty-nine thousand times today.
I only left to walk the dog.
Some walking music for you.
What if I used the Cyber to shop at a Small Business on Black Friday?
I worked at my small business. Does that count?
Seems to me that every woman has at least one body line that is beautiful and at least one that is an abomination. Gotta say that I’m enjoying this sketching thing.
Hey Straffinrun! I finally posted something. I’m focusing on watercolors because you can’t erase. The 45 minutes is a real challenge too. Thanks again for organizing.
That looks excellent. From a photo or a real life scene?
Photo. I’ll add that to the album later
Seriously, thank you for joining. I don’t touch colors out of pure terror.
I don’t do color either, but on my trip to England I bought watercolors and played with them on my trip. Then they just sat. This is the perfect opportunity to give it a real try.

Maybe you suck!?
No, you suck.
Tres is right. You both suck. His link wins.
We know who really sucks.
lol @ yeastie girlz
God help me, that’s not entirely bad.
It’s terrible. I probably danced to it a couple hundred times at the clubs.
ClittodittoSteve Miller was actually a really good blues singer/guitarist at one point before his greatest hits stuff. The Greatest Hits album I have heard far too much to enjoy any longer, but those old songs of his that don’t get played much are great. Good one Tres.
And he’s a super nice guy.
I’m glad to hear that. There are plenty of people with that type of fame that are far from it.
Speaking of which you deserve the (in)famy of making this place happen. Thanks, it’s really good.

So glad she pulled those panties down. No way I could’ve guess what was going on down there.
High quality landing strip she’s got goin’ on.
It’s 3 Hitler staches high.
Don’t talk that way about my future wife.
Someone stole her waist and hips
Went to a dinner party last night with some former co workers. A 58 year old guy, 30 something lady, and a 28 year old lady. We had a nice dinner and nice conversation. The place was a bit pricey, so instead of staying there drinking $10 beers after eating, I ask if anyone wants to go to a second bar. Old guy and 30 something lady say, “I can’t” at the same time as the 28 year old lady says, “Yes!”. Uh… Awkward. I’m not going out for drinks with just her at 11pm on Saturday night. Managed to mumble out an excuse, but that was not a comfortable situation.
Wise move.
I kept thinking of that phrase from my high school days: Smooth move Exlax.
Straffin-san crushin’ ass as usual.
Anyone seen Ms. Splosives today? I got concerned after the whole “physical and verbal abuse” thing last night.
Saw that, but didn’t know how serious she was being. Fuck that guy if it’s real.
I agree with both of you. Hope she stops by shortly.
Didn’t she post earlier?
She has been around today/tonight.
61North hasn’t been around; I’m gonna be in Alaska all next week. Could TPTB possibly share his email?
See your email.
Thanks!
Is sharing emails like that GDPR compliant?
CPRM–If you’re still around, please check your email.
So…what happened to the Night Shift?
Hi SP, will you give me dbleagle’s email? See previous thread for his permission. Thanks
Done.
Thanks
With my mother’s “stuff”, I haven’t had much time or energy to devote to it recently. I’m not quite sure when that will clear up, but, I will try to get back in the saddle soon.
Just busting your chops.
Hope things get better for you soon.
It has got to be rough to do that Digby. Good on ‘ya.

Thank you, sir (the legit sort)!

Wait, whut??
Axchully I had an endometrial ablation 12 years ago so I am spared the “joy” of menstruation.
I recommended it highly to all women who are done with child bearing
Nuked uterus #FTW!
I only got that because at the time I couldn’t afford the down time of a hysto.
I prefer to believe that that, whatever it is he’s claiming to be here for, he thought better of actually stating it.
Us gentlemen gotta

Japanese Diet repeals Article 9
Which means what?

They can have carbs now?
Poor attempt at a joke on the video. Article 9 is the renunciation of war and hasn’t been repealed. Their earthquake helmets made think of some sort of going to war moment.
By everyone. I’m ok.
A little regretful about posting the personal stuff. Sorry; I don’t like drama but in retrospect it looks like I was stirring up drama.
FWIW–it looked, to me, like a friend having a rough time, and wanting some advice (and comfort) from her friends.
/just sayin’ ?
Everyone pass out? How am I supposed to lurk if no one is posting?

Are we gonna have a comment renaissance?? There are, what–four of us about? It’s practically a party up in here!
I had wandered over to spiked-online and see Brendan O’Neill has a rant about the London terror attacks and how they have to get serious about Islamic terrorism, though aside from complaining about the governments inaction and active censorship of people complaining about it he doesn’t say what that means.
I read the article and a bunch of comments and I keep hearing ‘whoosh!’ as they all seem to miss the problem.
Recently I was having a conversation and the person I was talking to kept using the term ‘zero sum game’ though it was clear that he did not understand what it meant.
Where have you been Suthen? I haven’t seen much from you recently.
Of course not; no avatar pic.
Wife fell and was injured, now infirm. I have been running my ass off taking care of her and neglecting my commenting duties. She is getting better and will be back on her feet soon.
Oooh; sorry that she got injured, suthen. Good to hear she’s improving.
Sorry your wife was injured. I’m glad she is on the mend.
Hope you are both well soon, had some bad injuries among the two of you
yes we have and thank y’all.
I am buying us both bubblewrap suits for Xmas.

A cult withouth the common decency to stay in the shadows
Those are some well-adjusted people. You can tell by the font.
Oh they are a cult alright. Remember all of the creepy, creepy culty shit they did with Obama? Most of that shit made me want to puke. They make the Moonies look sane.
Cont from zero sum game: I explained what the term meant by using the analogy of a pie with a fixed number of slices. One person gets more slices, another has to lose some. then I used the analogy of a pie factory as a non-zero sum game…everyone works hard, everyone has more pie.
The economy is not a zero sum game, but power is. Our founding premise is that in order for bad people to do minimal damage power must not be concentrated…dont let one guy have all of the slices. People who seek power don’t like that very much, they want all of the slices. In order to truly conquer and enslave a nation power has to be highly concentrated so they have set about doing that. Their greatest obstacle is the civil society which essentially makes our culture unconquerable.
What the dingbats at Spiked and the population os Europe generally are missing is that Islamic immigration, i.e. the importation of enemies, is an attack on the civil society by those in power. Break again…
And the same is true here with the Open borders Pols. In our culture we largely teach our children to solve their own problems. In most other cultures they teach their children to look to someone else to solve their problems. The difference this makes cannot be overstated. It has created the greatest wealth, security and liberty the world has ever seen all of which empowers individuals, not pols. Thus the ‘tear down the wall’ crowd is attempting to import collectivists. Again, a direct attack on our civil society.
It is about power. The real enemy are the people driving it.
The Brits completely miss this.
most people miss this. many of those who oppose open borders do for mostly jobs/crime reasons
Good point.
If you haven’t already, I recommend you read “Clash of Civilizations”.
A wonderful expose of how multiculty is in total conflict with the Melting Pot American precedent.
https://www.amazon.com/Clash-Civilizations-Remaking-World-Order/dp/1451628978/ref=asc_df_1451628978/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312021238077&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8069465557250699149&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014218&hvtargid=pla-435427683755&psc=1
It rings a bell but I don’t think I have seen it. Thank you I will give it a look.
Being in total conflict is the point of multiculturalism. All of the ideas of the left are meant to tear at the fabric of our culture. FFS they are brainwashing people into not being able to tell the difference between a man, a woman or a donkey.
Why doesn’t the British govt take strong action against the horrors their invaders are perpetrating? Why do they instead take strong action against people merely speaking out about it? Why do. the multiculturists celebrate every culture except ours?
The answer is pretty obvious and it is right there in front of our noses, yet most people just cant see it.
Yup,
Predictable consequences are not unforeseen.
The Clash book also talks about how America now veers toward multicultural stuff, yet preaches universerialism for the rest of the Earth’s nations.
So we divide and pigeonhole locally, but somehow expect the rest of the world to adopt American virtues?
Ain’t gonna happen.
“Not unintended” I meant.

It’s a “pickle juice for breakfast” kinda morning here @ Chez Tres.
Hopefully I don’t reek of stale beer in church. Again.
