COUNTERATTACK!

As a staff, we at Glibertarians.com have decided to take back what is ours….the Morning Links control room. Since we are libertarian in nature, we shall employ mercenaries.

It looks like Bigfoot or some sea creature – shoot it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try not to damage any property!
Hut, hut, hut!

 

 

 

 

 

 

READY…go, go, go!

*BOOM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM…*CLICK* *CLICK* *click* …”uh oh”*

*Aiee! Ouch! Dammit, not that! AHHHHHHHHHH!*

What were those things!?

 

We just got our asses kicked..and raped!

 

One moment, we need to have an After Action Report.

[…shots bounced off… They raped all our commanders! The horror, the horror. This wasn’t worth the $500. That giant stone head ate our guns! Yes, yes, thank you gentlemen. Those of you still ambulatory, please exit this way. Could someone get an orphan cleaning crew in here?]

Sooo…. that did not seem to work out. Not at all. Looks like we need some assistance with this. Hmmmm.

      I’m being non-interventionist on this one.

      1. I think your gaze has to be a little more narrow for that.

    This world never have happened if you hadn’t excluded SNOW SMITH.

    An “after action report” ?

    Not this one – https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/Mow-tItSRTKnyBeFA53O4g.AXE9Z5ci2wAYi21QsZw9wl

  7. Can’t we all just get along?

    1. Sean

      NO.

  8. juris imprudent

    OT, so about the ATF and losing several thousand guns. CBS Evening News had the story with amazingly little info on the suspect (in custody). Some WV source broke the story last week. Someone seems awfully reticent about sharing details.

    1. mindyourbusiness

      Reminds me of the line some comic (George Carlin?) came up with:
      “Give ’em all the alcohol and tobacco they can handle, but keep ’em away from the guns!”

    1. Sean

      7 looks bitchy.

      1. Lackadaisical

        So did 3 and 5, iirc.

  9. Lackadaisical

    I do miss those sweet, sweet Banjos links.

    1. Spudalicious

      Banjos links were the best links. Biggly.

      1. Banjo’s links are great and all but SP sets the gold standard for links.

        1. Spudalicious

          You certainly can’t find fault in the technical perfection of SP’s links but Banjos links have a certain je ne sais quoi.

          1. HER DO MORE THAN CRYPTIDS TOO.

        2. SEA SMITH AGREE, SP LINKS BEST…BUT CRYPTID LINKS GOOD!

    Czech that out. ?

    1. Tundra

      Lucky.

      1. Fourscore

        Anyone have any experience with cz-577, .308 left hand bolt? I was looking at them in the catalog, left hand is good since no one wants to borrow it.

        1. *raises left hand sheepishly

    2. Stinky Wizzleteats

      Freaking sweet gun from my favorite gun company.

      1. Sean

        My gf has the Rami on her short list. And I have 2 CZs already…

        1. Stinky Wizzleteats

          Best shooting pistols I’ve got and the compact actually fits my fairly small hands pretty well. Beats the hell out of a Glock.

          1. “Beats the hell out of a Glock.”

            QFT.

          2. Not Adahn

            I haven’t fired enough pistols long enough, but my Shadow 2 continues to bring me joy. 1360 rounds without a malfunction. I need more time and money to catch up with this guy though.

    3. Did he get it or not? The article says “Planned to present” and “Was to receive”, Language issue or just shoddy blogging?

    4. Not Adahn

      The briar looks nice but I probably would have gone for some nice Zircote or Black Persimmon myself.

    5. Tejicano

      The pistol I have which is most similar to the CZ-75 is an EAA Witness in 10mm. Amazingly svelte for a hi-cap, big-bore auto. Basically the poor-man’s Bren-Ten clone.

  11. commodious spittoon

    NOICE.

    Czechia seems nice, all hundred or so yards I saw of it.

  12. Spudalicious

    This is the worst chatroom ever.

    @Not Adahn. You’re right, there are a gazillion grip choices out there. A good set of grips made from G10 should run around $50-70.

    https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/ckrBX2-QQUiYbL8hIx7W6w.t0xFJZzcFPt9-cb92JCEPg

    1. Not Adahn

      You know, I gotta be classy. Do you think the gold plated is too much? How about a nice mother of pearl?

      Honestly though, the rubber ones on there now are pretty comfy, I’ll see how they feel after extended shooting.

      1. Spudalicious

        Those mother of pearl grips are bad. And I don’t mean that in a good way.

        My 686+ Talo came with wood grips. After one day at the range, I replaced them with rubber Hogues. My hands were very happy.

        The gray grips are the replacements for the wooden grips on my EMP. Very grippy and comfortable.

        1. Not Adahn

          I fired a 1911 that had what I think were these on them. Outrageously comfortable. But anything with finger grooves is going to be extremely hit or miss. Plus their version for the Beretta will make a already sizable grip even bigger

          1. Spudalicious

            Grips for gun people can be like shoes for women. Next thing you know, you’ve got a closet full of them.

          2. Tejicano

            Yeah, I afraid I will end up with a foot locker full of grips for my 44 Mag Taurus Tracker before I find a set that takes a significant amount of its bite out of firing it.

    1. Spudalicious

      That’s because cowards have taken over the world. Ironic, isn’t it?

    2. Rhywun

      And Turkey wants in to that shitshow.

      1. Pan Zagloba

        Funds for less developed areas are a powerful attractant. Let alone ability to start exporting extra populace once their economy starts tanking properly.

    3. Stinky Wizzleteats

      Time for the dreaded No Deal Brexit.

      1. grrizzly

        They will vote against it tomorrow. The only remaining course of action will be to ask for a delay.

        1. Chafed

          Which the EU has said ain’t gonna happen. They will “crash” out.

    4. BakedPenguin

      Jeebus. All they have to do is leave. The power brokers obviously don’t want to.

      1. I’m no expert but aren’t they fighting about how they leave not if or when. They’ll be out sooner or later whether they have a new agreement with the EU is the question.

        1. BakedPenguin

          Theresa May is blatantly trying to derail the process. It’s been something like 2 years since the vote, and they remain.

          If I were a UK exit voter, I’d be pissed as hell that they are continuing to stay in. I have no dog in the fight, so I ultimately don’t care, but if I did, I’d be outraged. All they have to do is leave. That’s it – and the majority of Britons voted for it.

          1. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            Ah! But, you see-they were lied to by racists. Or, were already racists. Anyway, they just didn’t understand all the benefits of being told what to do by people in other countries being in the Union.

            If they just waaaaait it out, those poor rubes will definitely come around and realize their own economic self-interest!

          2. Again no expert but a quick google says they’re out March 29 regardless of what May/Remainers do.

          3. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            Hopes springs eternal for some people.

            I mean, how else to explain this shit considering a set date?

    1. Rhywun

      I guess the tatt craze came just in time for her.

    2. Stinky Wizzleteats

      I feel bad for her and all but whatever happened to just keeping things like this to yourself? I have a surperflous nipple but I’m not going to put it on the interweb.

      1. Threedoor

        An extra nipple and tiny hands?!

        1. Stinky Wizzleteats

          Hey, we all have our faults.

          1. Threedoor

            Or super powers. I have benign tumors.

    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
    Or close the wall up with that freakish head.
    In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
    As penis stiffness and rigidity:
    But when the blast of cum blows in our rears,
    Then imitate the action of the Schumer;
    Stiffen the moobs, summon up the fudge,
    Disguise fair nature with juice lathered rage;
    Then lend the brown eye a terrible aspect;
    Let pry through the portage of the head
    Like the ass cannon; let the taint o’erwhelm it
    As fearfully as doth a balled cock
    O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
    Swill’d with the vile and hateful intention.
    Now set the teeth and stretch the asshole wide,
    Hold hard the breath and pucker up every anus.
    To his full height. On, on, you noblest Glibbest.
    Whose blood is toxic from fathers of war proof!
    Fathers that, like so many shitlords,
    Have in these parts from porn till even stroked
    And sheathed their “swords” for lack of argument:
    Dishonour not Winston’s mother; now attest
    That those whom you call’d Mother did ingest you.
    Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
    And teach them how to bend o’er. And you, good yeoman,
    Whose waifu were made in Thailand, show us here
    The mettle of your derriere; let us swear
    That it is worth your bleeding; which I doubt not;
    For there is none of you so mean and base,
    That hath not Smith balls in your eyes.
    I see you spread like wishbones in the hips,
    Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
    Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
    Cry ‘God for glorious Glibland, and Saint Swiss!’

    1. Spudalicious

      So, be nice to Winston’s Mom after you’ve worked her hard, let Chuck give it to you in the ass, and don’t complain when you can get away with just giving the SMITHS a blowjob?

        OK, it took me a while to get reference. But, I’m hip now.

      2. PudPaisley

        I seen your previous posts regarding video editing software. When GoPro discontinued their very basic editing software, I tried a few before switching to Lightworks. I know jack shit about video editing, but I found the learning curve for Lightworks to be easier than all the other programs I tried. I don’t do a whole lot of editing, though. I use it almost exclusively for editing live music videos, so I’m not using all the features. They do have a free version that might be worth checking out.

        1. BakedPenguin

    I’m starting to think AOC is a right-wing plant:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-12/ocasio-cortez-wells-fargo-involved-caging-children-thinks-banks-should-assume#comment_stream

    She’s the gift that keeps on giving.

    1. CPRM

      She’s too crazy for even me to parody, me!

    2. straffinrun

      Certainly sounds like a vegetable.

    3. LJW

      Hopefully she doesn’t take away attention from all of the stupid shit Bernie has said.

      “It makes no sense that students and their parents pay higher interest rates for college than they pay for car loans or housing mortgages.”

    4. Spudalicious

      So a company that provides a car loan should pay for a death caused by the owner driving drunk?

    5. straffinrun

      Have you seen the Mr Reagan (Youtube) clip explaining how she got her start in politics? He goes hyperbolic, but it’s interesting to see how she was basically chosen at a casting call by the Justice Democrats. It explains why she’s an idiot when not being controlled by her handlers.

      1. CPRM

        If only you were someplace you could post links…

        1. Rhywun

          And if only it were textual….

          1. CPRM

            I don’t care what your textual preference is, geez, lay off it man!

          2. Rhywun

            I like text because I can read and watch teevee at the same time.

          6. straffinrun

            If it were, I’d link that. Alas, ‘tis not the case. Almost all pols are creations, but the there are some interesting facts concerning AOC.

            https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1h5iv6sECGU

          7. Jarflax

            His big reveal is that she was picked by powerful people to run, and that her policies are those they want her to put forward? This is true of basically every politician ever, so what?

          8. straffinrun

            I agree. I’m only interested in the Cenk, JD, Chait(?) connections. AOC is obviously not the organic candidate the MSM portrays her as.

          9. CPRM

            If they aren’t a write-in, they aren’t organic. Doesn’t matter which team, it’s handlers and wonks in charge all the way down. The only possible caveat it Trump. Even the Pauls had to have people who knew how to run campaigns that steered them.

          10. straffinrun

            You guys… Let me try for the third time. Of course pols are appointed. We know that. I wanted to see how the sausage is made and the video showed me some things I didn’t know. I’d love to see the process by which every pol got into the game.

          11. CPRM

            You just did.

          12. CPRM

            As someone who ran as a truly independent write-in-candidate, it was astonishing to me how little shits anyone gave, but how they bent over backwards for the party candidates. I couldn’t even get a chance to speak to the civics class at the HS I graduated from.

          13. straffinrun

            I want moar! I’m no fan of democracy, but if you’re going to have a group of overlords, I say you expose every shred of info that exposes where influence exists. Whenever people dig into this stuff their findings are written off as conspiracy theories or with a shrug of “Well, they all do that”. If that’s the case, why even have elections?

          14. CPRM

            But moar is just the same story over and over, it gets boring.

          15. Jarflax

            If that’s the case, why even have elections?

            we’ll have you on my “the most libertarian government is a constitutional Monarchy, with a strong Aristocracy with non over ride veto power, and court of last resort power to over turn laws, but no legislation powers, and a thoroughly bourgeois parliament which has complete control of the purse. Like Victorian England, only with a non-figurehead monarch, rules to prevent packing the Lords and a written constitution” party yet.

          16. straffinrun

            Say what you want a Hoppe, but at least he had an ethos.

          17. CPRM

            I’m not saying things are the way should be, just that they the way they are.

          18. straffinrun
          19. CPRM

            It’s intriguing, but she worked for Ted Kennedy, so she was planning. She’s just another pol, this is nothing different than the last 40 years of politics. She has a team, they all do. Her team chose her, like it always works.

  20. Jarflax

    These, in the day when Cryptids came calling,

    The hour when admin apertures bled,

    Followed their mercenary calling,

    And took STEVE SMITH as if they’d wed.

    Their shoulders down and rumps upended;

    They cried, and wailed a plaintive Nay;

    What God abandoned, these defended,

    And saved their virtue until today.

    Trading Places is a top 10 movie.

      Good laughs, but the premise that anyone can do anyone’s job if you just gave them a chance is nonsense.

    2. Bobarian LMD

      Only because Jaime Lee Curtis is spectacularly topless.

      Otherwise top 10 Eddie Murphy movie.

      1. Tejicano

        That was the only evidence I was going to present.

    3. Spudalicious

      Jamie Lee Curtis had top ten tits.

      It had a guy in a gorilla costume getting raped by a gorilla while Senator Al Franken laughs, a fitting precursor to glibs. But how can that fit in your top 10 with all the John Cusack films that exist?

      1. Jarflax

        But how can that fit in your top 10 with all the John Cusack films that exist?

        It floats up on the poor acting from all the John Cusack movies below it?

          2. Jarflax

            I also think Jack Nicholson, Orson Welles and Marlon Brando are over rated.

            Jack Nicholson and John Cusack both always seem to be playing the same character

            Welles and Brando were both mannered and heavy handed.

          3. CPRM

            Nothing wrong with playing the same character if you do it well.

          4. CPRM

            Also, Welles’ last roll was AWESOME!

          5. straffinrun

            You forgot Tom Hanks. But then again, he’s not an actor, he’s Tom Hanks.

            I never saw Christopher Plummer on the stage. He could have been shit on stage for all I know.

            If you don’t think the 80s and 50s weren’t times of innovation in film, then perhaps you don’t know the subject matter…

            As for best movie, like I said, that’s subjective, but I could write a 10 page diagnosis of why Fight Club is the best on both the technical and story telling sides , can you say the same about your choices?

          14. Jarflax

            Movies are a storytelling medium, there is only the story telling side. The impressiveness of the technical side is only important in so far as it succeeds in telling the story well. It may be interesting and useful if you are going to make movies, just as studying the tricks used in quality writing is useful when learning to write, but like a novel, a movie is good when it tells its story well, when it contains beauty, when it effectively evokes emotion, and above all when it entertains.

            It is not better because it uses highly complicated technical methods to do so, in fact directors that are overly concerned with being technically impressive often make movies no one but a film school kid could enjoy. The movies I listed are all visually beautiful, well scored, tell epic tales very skillfully and above all entertain. Fight club was an ok action flick with a poorly thought out and heavy handed message. I don’t care in the least if it was technically impressive.

          15. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            Quibble:

            Movies are a storytelling medium,

            True. It is, in one facet, media. Any communication means is a storytelling method. Talking, writing, acting (in person, audio only, visual only, etc.)

            there is only the story telling side.

            Not true. Once you get into anything beyond simply talking or writing, there is a another facet. Whether it is how acting know-how, design, pairing music/sounds–whatever.

            I agree with you on the primacy of the storytelling. But, as I see it, saying it is the only consideration is a bridge too far.

          16. CPRM

            I’m not saying technical aspects outshine the story telling, but I can explain why each technical detail leads to better story telling, how it impacts on an emotional level, without the viewer knowing. Why does a dolly shot work better than a zoom in this particular situation? Why the lens focal length undercuts the performance. These are things that were most succinctly put by that great modern philosopher of ours Mr. Plinkett, ‘You didn’t notice it, but your brain did.’

          17. Jarflax

            Not true. Once you get into anything beyond simply talking or writing, there is a another facet. Whether it is how acting know-how, design, pairing music/sounds–whatever.

            Sure, I recognize that. They are good in so far as they make the storytelling more effective. I am not arguing that technical aspects, score, or acting abilities are useless. I am arguing that they are not ends in themselves.

            Some extraordinary award winning Fellini film may have amazing actors, ground breaking cinematography, and artistry in every aspect, but if it is incomprehensible and fails to entertain I am not willing to call it a good movie. It may be an ‘important’ movie, in the sense that Ulysses is an ‘important’ novel, but it is not good.

          18. CPRM

            but if it is incomprehensible

            Then either you aren’t the intended audience, or it was shit film making. Fillini was shit,art for art’s sake is shit. That’s not what I’m defending.

          19. Jarflax

            art for art’s sake is shit.

            We are in agreement philosophically, but Fight Club is still only an ok movie 🙂

          20. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            I am not arguing that technical aspects, score, or acting abilities are useless. I am arguing that they are not ends in themselves.

            Ah! This, I get. And, I agree with that.

            I will say, though, that there have been some movie/TV creations that were purely an audio-visual experience, and the story was either “up to you”, or, fill-in-the-blanks. They are rare, and don’t really fit neatly into what we’re talking about here. But, they happen every so often.

          21. CPRM

            Unlike a stage show, which can be seen from many angles, and the actors need to project to the back of the theater, a film is told in a much more subjective view, one view. If we are looking down on the actor they are to be pittyed, if we are looking up at the actor they are to be admired. If a wide angle lens is used it is disorienting, if a long lens is used it is warm and inviting, connecting us to the character…and on and on.

          22. CPRM

            but Fight Club is still only an ok movie ?

            Like I said, I don’t control or want to control what you like, but I can defend my position.

          23. Jarflax

            Stirring the pot part 357 (or maybe not)

            3d is distracting and disorienting and gets in the way of both the artistry of film and the immersion necessary to really effective movies.

          24. CPRM

            No argument. 3D has been and always will be a gimmick.

          25. Jarflax

            I will say, though, that there have been some movie/TV creations that were purely an audio-visual experience, and the story was either “up to you”, or, fill-in-the-blanks.

            This is true, Fantasia springs to mind.

          26. CPRM

            I’ve only seen one movie in 3D, and fuck that noise. And it wasn’t even Jaws 3D because I’m too young. I saw one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies in the ‘new 3D, it was shit. I plan my movie watching around when I can see a movie in 2D, and you can always spot the 3D gimmicks when you watch a 3D movie at home.

          27. CPRM

            Fantasia was shit. Fuck musicals.

          28. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            Jackass 3D was a thing of terrible beauty.

            Gimmick? Oh, hells yeah. Still fantastic.

        It’s very practical, obviously.

        This is my fave, for weirdness

        1. Tundra

          Once again, another movie you could never make today.

    7. KSuellington

      Trading Places was a great movie, but it is a close call to make the top ten comedies of all time. Caddyshack, Blazing Saddles, NL Vacation, Airplane!, Office Space, MO Holy Grail, Animal House, Blues Brothers, Anchorman, and maybe even Beverly Hills Cop.

      1. Chafed

        That’s a strong list. I’d add the first half of Stripes, if you could add half a movie.

        1. PudPaisley

          I was thinking the same thing regarding Stripes! It’s a good list, but I would add The Jerk and Big Lebowski as replacements for the last two on the list.

          1. KSuellington

            The Jerk could definitely make the top 10. I absolutely love the BL, but I don’t know if I would consider it purely a comedy, although that would where it would usually be categorized.

          2. KSuellington

            Life of Brian would be a contender as well.

          3. BakedPenguin

            Repo Man or GTFO.

          4. PudPaisley

            I used to hang out with a neighbor that was a spitting image of Jeff Lebowski. He looked and dressed like him with similar mannerisms. If I had any video footage of my neighbor Mike in the grocery store late at night, you would think that’s where they got the idea for the opening scene.

  22. CPRM

    Just recorded audio for a new episode. Too drunk to edit it, but it’ll be done soon.

  27. Tundra

    Whoa.

    Off the Richter Scale

    When it happens, the earth will slip by roughly 60 feet along a rupture zone more than 600 miles long, unzipping the sea floor at roughly two miles per second and convulsing the West Coast for as long as five minutes. Bridges will fall. Wet soil will liquefy. Brick and masonry buildings will shatter. Skyscrapers built before modern earthquake codes may topple. City centers in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver will be buried beneath glass shards and rubble. Everything underground—water mains, natural gas pipes—will be crushed. Land that has bulged upward from tectonic pressure for the past 300 or so years will collapse to baseline, permanently altering the topography and plunging low-lying coastal areas into the ocean. The inland Cascade Mountains will knock the knees out from under the earthquake, but numerous landslides will occur, especially on roads built with a “cut and fill” method, where flat slabs get cut out of rock walls and smoothed over with soft fill. Just a few minutes after the quake finally stops, the second hammer blow will strike. Tsunami waves up to 50 feet high will rip the face of the coastal region clean off the map, pulverizing everything and killing everyone in their path.

    Sweet dreams, Glibs!

    1. Jarflax

      It is funny to me how much panic is inspired by all the phony threats like the Ozone hole, Global warming, acid rain etc., when there are real, historically occurring, scientifically certain to happen again, known location, killer phenomena out there. People living in building along the coast of California panic about Global Warming, while living in houses with giant glass walls facing straight out to the Pacific. Tsunamis happen regularly and there is no magic difference between the US coast and any other part of the ring of fire that makes us immune.

      1. CPRM

        The government will save them. They will be resurrected and the deniers cleansed from the earth. Nope, not a religion….

        1. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

          Power & Control, and the loss thereof.

          While I can understand some of the motivation(s), they can still kiss the fattest part of my ass.

          1. CPRM

            I like being in control of myself, I find it boring to tell others what to do. So I have no conception of their motivations.

          2. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            Not so much power and control of others. That follows. I meant the mostly-false premise of being in control of so many aspects of our lives. And, the idea that things will continue in “the way the always have”. Things change and catch people off-guard, and they panic to have things back to where they “were in control”.

            Our biomes (for lack of a better word) change outside of our control and influence, but that is the part people get focused on, attempting to hold on to the lives they know. I understand that, and would probably do the same. It’s just that I will draw the line at trying to make others fall in line with me.

          3. CPRM

            Making others ‘fall in line’ is where the money is though. Managers, producers, sales staff, it’s all about making people do what you want, and I have no interest in that, and that is why I’m not successful. I know the reason. I just have no desire to address it. It’s why I’m shit at business. I just want to do my thing and get paid, but the world sucks.

          4. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            Well, there’s a difference between cooperation and coercion. I was a supervisor (with very little in the way of authority) in a government setting for several years. I didn’t like it much, and don’t do it anymore. I much preferred the carrot over the stick, but too many required the stick.

            You do cooperation. No need to get into authority to make your scratch.

          5. CPRM

            Meh, I’m all to happy to not have to even talk to anyone. Coercion VS Cooperation doesn’t even come into play.

          6. CPRM

            A director who doesn’t like to tell people what to do, maybe that’s why a cartoon made entirely by me is the only place in life I’ve seen even modest success…

      Sometimes, I just don’t get you, Q.

      Not when you’re posting titty pics, though. That shit’s cromulent.

      1. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

        BTW, as someone who’s wild about avatar pics–why did you go with a blue Pac-man ghost? Have you ever mentioned it before?

        I mean, it’s actually iconic (for me). You see the Paki Pac ghost >> it’s Q.

        1. Inky’s the man. Just liked it, no good story behind it.

          Though the “Program and Control Man” story from Black Mirror Bandersnatch makes a good ex post facto reason.

          1. Chafed

            Who’s in the what now?

          2. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

            I could never be arsed enough to watch Bandersnatch, so I had to look that up.

            And, yes, of course–Inky. I knew that, way back in recesses of my brain, but couldn’t dredge it up.

    1. Sir Digby’s Contrabulous Faptraption

      Hell, I doubt I could do any better than the people giving him shit (see what I did there?) in those comments.

      De Blasio just sounds like a type of cancer.

      Blastoma :: de Blasio

      Actually, I would hope that someone would change the word “poop” to “de Blasio”, ’cause I love when shit people have their names conflated with shitting.

      And, speaking of metal (ish), I am on a kick to get some rock shirts, so I’ve ordered both RATT and Dangerous Toys shirts. Yeah, I’m helping the economy in my own way.
