Time we had one of these again. You know, the preview of some of our articles upcoming…and the plea for more material. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send in some material. This place is so much richer when we get the Glibertariat sharing their experiences, expertise, weirdness…whatever.
OK, pleading over – now, what is coming up in our 1100 Central time slot?
Tuesday we get a Minimalist article from Trials and Trippelations. See how I made the description minimal. *waggles eyebrows*
Wednesday … if SugarFree finishes the maintenance on his Dungeon, we should brace ourselves for The Hat and The Hair. I am still on the edge of my seat, wondering if they will find Gerry Ford’s gold!
Thursday sees us getting a lesson in slang from the old Graybar Hotel. You know, the Joint. The Pen. Whatever you call it, some Prison Slang brought to you by Elspeth Flashman.
Friday… steel yourself for the wonders of Tonio’s Part 4 of A Chronicle of the Insurgency.
The Weekend should see our usual fun and games. Not Adhan, mexican sharpshooter, and OMWC carrying the load as usual.
Monday we are hoping for Part 5 of Animal’s series on Lever Guns. Talk about authorship by public demand.
As for our 1900 Central time slot… well, not really in a position to tell too much right now. However, Friday will see a beloved figure return. And the cryptids (who I am still not on speaking terms with, yet) will probably weigh in on the early evening time slots this weekend. Imma going to be at an Expo elsewhere in the Midwest, come Sunday – so you will be in the hands of the more competent Glibs TPTB next week.

Coming attractions on The Glibs!
That’s right, Spud gets another first. Fragile ego, validated.
No links. No links comment. No 1st.
You’re the Bob Mueller of firsts.
Burn!
Don’t have to on these posts. No links to refer to. You’re just jealous.
If it makes you feel better, you may post the theme music.
Have a taste of this.
Well chosen sir, well chosen.
To be honest, it’s an official, official rule, from way back in the olden good old days, that only morning and afternoon links count with firstest. Just sayin…
You dare argue with the dancing banana?
Damn, these euphemisms are just……I can’t even any more.
Central time?!?! Might as well start using the fucking metric system. ?
No kidding. Hey definitely need to switch to MOUNTAIN Time.
Where men are men and the sheep are scared.
Sheep R hawt!
Damn right they’re scared, and for good reason. You turn your bac…never mind.
Yeah, all sorts of commie shit going on there.
Uh, nuh-uh: Texas Time.
/I’m tempted to go with a “piss on all you yankees”, but I will table it for now.
Should I assume there is continuing interest in brewing-related articles?
I will write more. I got overwhelmed by getting ready for a vacation. Now that I am back, I will return to writing more.
Yes!
Yes!
I read them. I like them. ?
Yes, please.
ok
Yes. And then follow up with what happens after you polish off a few liters.
I’m supposed to drink a couple of liters and then write something? I don’t think that’s going to work so well.
You harshin’ my method?
To each his own.
You start off by drinking lots of coffee, then switch to alcohol, so by the time the editor goes over your caffeinated screed, you are immune to criticism.
And then send submit a corrupted file.
Absolutely. The two subjects that seem to generate the most discussion around here are guns and adult beverages.
Well, it is kind of hard to discuss SF writings and HM links, when you are rendered speechless….
Sanity checks take time.
Bitter clingers all the way down.
Un-bitter clinger here. I cling very happily to my gunz and Buddhist beads.
They’re also too frightening to read unarmed and sober.
Would like to hear about any epic fails. Pics or vids would be a bonus.
Epics fails?
I’ve had three batches spoil in 16 years of brewing. One was so bad I spit the sample back into the cup. It took hours to really get rid of the flavor. I blended 5 carboys of cider (five different varieties of apples) in to a mixing bucket then pumped it back into 5 carboys for final aging and clarification. One of the five went hideously bad. This is what happens when you get careless and blow sanitation. The other 4 carboys were just fine.
The other two failures were just mildly “no, that ain’t right”.
Otherwise, my success rate is above 98%.
Yes.
And Nephi and Rob.
After these previews my breath is baited.(bated?)
bated from abated.
Sounds like you know a lot about bating.

A true master
So Thursday is toilet wine day?

Here’s some music in honor of Spud’s greats accomplishment.
(Sorry Tres)
In your face, bitches.
When I go to the range, I like to look good. And I think I look best when I coordinate my gun to my outfit. And nothing pulls the minge like Three Wolf Moon.
No reviews yet. Sad!
Sounds like a Type O Negative album.
Did I link you the Type O Negative scored version of Nosforatu? Either way, here it is again.
“*waggles eyebrows*”
Is that like some sort of Central European sex thing? Not that I’m kink shaming. You do you.
Groucho haz a sad!
Today’s Penny Arcade made me think of our resident eyebrow waggler.
Hound update: that wily bitch* managed to pull off her inflatable collar last night and chewed out half her stitches. On the plus side, the wound has stayed closed and there’s no blood or anything. The look she gave me when I discovered was exactly that of a defiant teenager – slightly concerned about my reaction but incredibly pleased with herself.
That is what I get for making sure the collar “wasn’t too tight”.
*a technical term
Would some hot spot spray deter her, you think? It did with one of my dogs when he had a hot spot…different than a stiched wound, but similar.
Possibly; she’s sneaky, in that she doesn’t go at it all the time – this was just the middle of the night.
Honestly, I don’t think she can do much more damage, given that it’s holding together OK. AFAICT, she hasn’t gone after it at all today.
I don’t see how a money shot would make things better. Wait, ohhh…
My brothers dog did the same thing after her duclaws (sp?) were removed. Somehow bypassed the cone of shame and ripped out the stitches. My parents awoke to bloody mess on the couch and a dog with gaping wounds on her hind legs. She was quite pleased with herself.
Fine. I’ll say it, DT Jr needs a new tie. That fat fucker (tie) don’t play in today’s standards.
And pink on pink? Ugh.
What are those “queer eyes” guys doing these days?
I was recently thinking that my funeral tie (a muted silver and grey) is a tad wide for today’s fashion. On the plus side, I’m fortunate in that I don’t need to wear it all that often.
If you get fatter, the tie will look skinny.
*pro tip*
There’s a new batch. (No, I haven’t seen it.)
So what’s the slang for the slovenly gay?
Bruce Vilanch?
That’s…spot-fucken’-on. Well done.
+1 “Queens Behind The Scenes”
On the nosey!
Enh… like most stereotypes, the one about gay men and their “style” is considerably overstated.
Fair enough. I knew from your previous posts that you weren’t overly concerned with being stylish. I mean, you wear Crocs for Christ’s sake. 😉 Just didn’t know if their was an inside pejorative amongst gay gents.
None that I’m aware of; but I’m pretty disconnected from “the community” so who knows.
“Gay men are all stylish fellows” is one of the more egregious stereotypes.
I meant to add – that always irked me about the original Queer Eye – “oh, these fabulous gay men are here to rescue the straights!”.
To their credit they did at least one with a gay subject, whose living conditions and hygiene were every bit as bad as their usual subjects.
It’s actually interesting as they do more than just style makeovers and more than just ‘straight guys’
I’m not surprised they needed to zhoozh it up considering how square the original formula is by now.
they do more than
just style makeovers and more thanjust ‘straight guys’Pretty sure that’s accurate.
Whatever happened to the cookbook idea? I remember pleas for submissions but I don’t seem to recall an article/Glib merch ever springing forth. If it’s not too late, I’ll type up my smoked turkey recipe.
As far as the repealing the Reapportionment Act article I’ve been tinkering with for well over a year…I’m still too chickenshit to send it in, sorry.
I’m guessing that it is still needing submissions*. I will admit that I was one of the vocal pleas, only to have yet to send in a submission.
*total guess. I have no evidence of any kind to back this up. It’s mainly just my guilty conscience projecting.
Ha!
I guess if I was really motivated I could just scour the archives and would probably find about one hundred recipes submitted within the last year alone but I’m a lazy ass and that isn’t happening.
I just got through skimming the first Avenatti filing that was under seal until today. It’s fucking insane.
He owes tens of millions in back taxes. They haven’t even been able to calculate it yet.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/press-release/file/1147466/download
It’s been a pretty fun couple of news cycles in regard to Aventti and the collapse of the “RUSHHAHH!!” narrative. What’s particularly exhilarating is the 2.5 people whom will be convinced to stop taking media talking points at face value.
They are clinging to Don Jr’s “I love it!” in response to some dirt on Hillary. You’ve gotta have a pretty small dick for a fig leaf that small to get coverage.
Outstanding.
Democrats don’t have to pay taxes, that’s why the rest of us have to pay more. You ain’t lurnt.
He owes tens of millions in back taxes
That’s a good thing, right?
He doesn’t have the money, which is why he stole the payroll taxes that were withheld from his coffee company employees.
And why he stole from his clients.
And why he tried to extort Nike for $25 million.
He’s flat broke. His 2nd ex wife claimed (and provided proof of) $210,000 in monthly expenses. So, maybe one of the lessons here is don’t marry a gold digger.
So he could stiff the IRS and not his ex? Or had he already stiffed her sufficiently? You’d think a lawyer would know about matrimonial things like pre-nups and how to avoid the stupid things his clients do.
“Or had he already stiffed her sufficiently?”
Well, they did have kids.
More than likely, it was worth it for him to buy her silence. It was cheaper than paying the IRS. They clearly had some sort of arrangement; his Ferrari (unclear if leased) and Porsche were in her name.
He played games with the IRS for almost 8 years. Shell companies, avoiding liens and levies by switching around accounts, commingling, etc etc. They have records of all of it, and now he’s fucked.
The exhibits filed alongside the West Coast complaint totaled 197 pages, and that’s only a peek behind the curtain.
He played games with the IRS for almost 8 years. Shell companies, avoiding liens and levies…
See, there is a good side to everyone, even sleazy lawyers can occasionally be on the right side.
Yeah, we get it. You’re you. We fucking get it.
something something all suffer together
So it sure seems like Avenatti has been in deep shit for a while. What was he thinking by going super-public with his assholery? Shouldn’t he have dummied up a long time ago and hoped that he could slither away somehow?
It is like he was up late one night watching Major League and decided the only way to save himself was to win the whole fucking thing. “Yeah, if I’m president, I can tell the IRS to fuck off!”
That’s pretty much it.
He’s not a very good lawyer. He thought publicity would make him more money.
Mammary Monday!

You current method of linking doesn’t work for me. Chive complains about my ad blocker.
For some reason, Archive isn’t working with Chive right now. I’m searching for alternate solutions.
Not a big problem. I don’t follow the links from work, and I usually forget by time I get home at night.

Rufus crackin’ that whip I see. Don’t worry, it’s been the same on my end too. Thanks as always for the happy and bountiful T&A.

Working on it. Depends on how much lead time you need. My work on this was interrupted by a trip to Japan.
Nice humblebrag.
I’m nothing if not humble.
Field research at the Miroku factory?
/wish
I wish too.
I wish I had known you were here. I would have really liked to met up and talk guns with somebody in my league on that subject.
I’ll make a note of that for next time; this was literally a flying trip. We want to come back when my current project ends and spend 2-3 weeks mooching around, so that should make time for a Japan Glibs meetup.
Since I’m stuck in Redding CA. I may as well takes some pictures of the wasteland that is the Central Valley, another travelogue.
The Sacramento River Walk isn’t bad.
Hiya, Yusef. How’s the new gig going?

Glad it’s going well, hope it keeps looking up for you.
What are you doing now?
Mt Lassen is real cool, but it look like the road is still closed.
Burney Falls would be worth the drive.
But those are near, not in the valley.
Whenever I hear “Redding, CA” I think of the dazzlingly beautiful blue-eyed brunette from there I met in passing about a decade ago. It was one of those things where we both traveling and there was no opportunity for a follow up date. Passing ships and all that

I’m not really that impressed with Metro Exodus. Despite the fact hat I have the graphics settings maxed out on my 34″ 3440×1440 gsync IPS display, I don’t think it looks that great. AC Odyssey is a lot prettier, although it doesn’t have all the advanced atmospheric effects. I could be wrong once I’ve explored the outdoors more, we’ll see. I can’t find a FOV setting, it seems a little narrow…
I’m a heretic about this stuff. I personally find it
bizarre‘tarded that the industry spend $10s of millions perfecting light scatter off water and leaf shadows rather than devote effort to story and intuitive controls.The controls seem OK so far. Although I seem to have to hold down the left Shift key to stay in crouch/sneak mode. There doesn’t seem to be a way to toggle that. The story though, I’m not getting into it. I’t not believable, contrived, stiff, forced, not believable…
I’m with you on that one. How “pretty” a game is is way down on my wish-list.
Way up the list for me. It’s almost like I would say how pretty a woman is, is not that important.
Spawn 1 is coming home for a week. My dog has been staring at the door for quite some time. Guess I shouldn’t have told him.
Dogs are the greatest.
Dogs rock.
Dogs kick ass.
Neighbor stopped to tell me that they had lost their GSD last weekend. Pathetic how emotional I get about other people’s dogs.
I really liked that dog, though.
…and every dog should have a kid to play with…

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send in some material

Huh. I thought they were asking for sheets so they could help out the poor whites who can’t afford a Klan outfit on their own.
Do you want to get STEVE SMITHed? Because this is how you get STEVE SMITHed.
Has any pundit that pushed the Muh Russian Colluzhun! come out and admitted they were wrong? We got a few admit they were wrong about Covington, so I’m curious to see if anyone is going to be honest in this case.
It’s like admitting you don’t have any proof your invisible sky god exists or that your beloved communism doesn’t work. It can’t be done, because obvious reasons.

Yum.
Excellent pepperoni pizza from the local Neapolitan place (900 degree oven FTW), and a past-its-prime-but-still-tasty 2012 Prisoner
2012 Prisoner past it’s prime is why I don’t buy a lot of wine these days. I’m one of the 5% that likes to age wine.
We’ve got a local chain on our rotation that is “certified” for Neapolitan pizza. Nice pie.
This place is/was APN certified; it’s a really solid pie.
The Prisoner was delicious (though my palate isn’t particularly sophisticated). The ‘past its prime’ remark was going off what cellertracker.com said, but that’s hardly some sort of bible.
Yeah, I could eat that. And although I like CellarTracker, if you liked the Prisoner, other peoples opinions really don’t matter.
True – this was just the “best between” date topping out at 2017 – maybe it was better two years ago, but it was certainly good tonight.

https://pjmedia.com/drhelen/whether-red-or-blue-most-millennials-would-pick-their-party-over-the-best-lay-of-their-life/
Good thing I’m not most millennials. Not once has a lovely lady’s politics come to mind when we did the tango.
Nor my politics as well.
Meh. I’m not looking for a lay, I’m looking for someone to live with. If I can’t stand her, no interest.
The only concern I pretty much have with all this is that I don’t end up like my old friend. Guy changed and practically went almost 180 on his beliefs during the time he dated and got married. They’re happy together so that’s good for them, but I don’t want to give up my principles.
I don’t want*
Yeah, I don’t want a woman who agrees with me, but the thought of pussy ain’t changing who I am. So we have to amiable within those constraints. And if you’re wondering who I am, ‘I make car parts for the American working man because that’s what I am, and that’s who I care about.’
Oh yeah, off-topic, but sorry for not replying to the email yet, I’ve been struggling to figure out what *exclusive content* I want.
And I struggle with what to provide. I did custom Avatars for Pan and C. Anacreon. I really am not sure what to offer. I mean, if you promise to stay mum and not dox me I could give you access to my real life youtube, but that ain’t too impressive. I could do a dramatic reading of something you choose? I got no clue.
No rush. I’ll figure out something soon enough, although the custom avatar does sound appetizing. Actually you know what, I believe I just got an idea. I’ll send you the proposition via the emailz.
I will execute your request to the best (pretty bad) of my abilities.

It’s pretty incredible what an outfit like that can get away with when it’s being propped up by totally gullible media and corporate virtue-signallers.
HEY! EVERYONE they labeled as racist is still racist, they just added their former leader to that list. Doesn’t change anything. Everyone is still racist, and doubly so now.

And now a slow dong for all the lovers out there.
Wow. I feel soooooo old.
Because you do know a song from 7 years ago or because you don’t? Or other reasons I’ll later bill you as your therapist for?
Because I used to thrive on hard stuff; Ministry was my go- to. Now, 10 seconds into what sounded pretty talented, I’m like: no, just no, calm down, it’s too loud, etc.
But back in the day…
Ministry is as hard as it gets
Exactly what I expected – well done.
It was that or this. Both of which I had on vinyl. WLIR was a big part of my childhood.
Ah, yes. When I reached college in Buffalo and therefore encountered more Lawn Guylanders than I had even knew existed, they all raved about it.
WIRQ (a high-school station!) was the equivalent in Rochester.
Slumbrew I thought you are from Boston. No love for the late lamented WBCN?
Grew up on Long Island, moved to Boston at 19 (freshman year at UD – Fighting Blue Hens represent!).
WBCN was a daily part of my life; in retrospect, it’s amazing how bad radio was. e.g., Charles Laquidara was terrible. And Mark Parenteau was a creep.
WFNX was a much bigger part later on.
I mostly agree about Laquidara. Mark Parenteau can do whatever he wants (RIP) because he brought Aerosmith back together.
I loved the variety of music they played, at least for awhile. I can’t think of another station that played metal and reggae back to back. And their love, support, and promotion of local music was unmatched.
I don’t know what the fuck that was. Jesus Built My Hotrod
That was Ministry.
Same Ministry, just a few years difference.
First album versus everything else they did if I remember correctly.
My problem with the young kids’ music these days is it’s all too tame. Good stand-up bit. Haven’t heard a song hard enough from a new band to care in years.
I’ll give you good stand up:
https://youtu.be/vTT34o3QKQY
I said BIT, not SET. I can’t even.
If you’re not laughing then you’re dead inside.
I didn’t say I didn’t laugh, I said that was a set, not a bit.
You really have to look around. Didn’t think I’d enjoy Band Maid nearly as much as I do.
And who doesn’t like a slow dong?
Stormy Daniels?
Jussie Smollett?
Hitler?
Of course I’m linking to it….
Faster Pussycat?
I finally watched “Infinity War”. I am officially an old man now, because my major takeaway is “why are they using Napoleonic tactics when Wakanda is being attacked?” I thought the American Civil War had put paid to that.
Because Imperialism!
But, in all seriousness, it’s because despite these movies taking place in ‘modern day’, they are fantasy films. And the lines of solders slowly merging and hand to hand combat ensuing is the way you film that type of action. Hell, even in pieces that take place in the supposed real world, that’s still how most battles ensue. It’s a trope because it works.
It’s all so very dumb. Wakkanda has some-sort of anti-gravity tech, but no close air support? Worse, you see War Machine doing a bombing-run, but that’s it – no further air support.
Hell, they can control the “dome” to the point they can de-activate it in a small section – why not just open that little section, let a few enemy in, then turn it back on? Defeat in detail is a successful tactic.
Well, that is what they tried, but again, it goes to fantasy tropes. Don’t blame comic books, blame the DandD nerds that run the CGI factories.
Drives me nuts, though.
I went to lunch with my second-in-command today at an Italian place we’ve gone many times in larger crowds. There was a new waiter, and toward the end of the meal as I had a glass of wine and the coworker had an espresso, the new waiter brought us a big complimentary wedge of cheesecake beautifully decorated with fruit and chocolate drizzle.
Only problem was it was one plate, one slice, and two forks. A little awkward, but I gestured to the cake and invited coworker to be my guest. So there we were nomming a most delicious cheesecake.
Waiter was pretty stunned that we got separate checks.
Ah, the perils of being a lady boss in a man’s world.
It probably is not a thing I’d repeat, though it was yummy. But the fact is, I realized I wouldn’t do that with just any coworker, so clearly I do not view my people equally. I’ll have to work on that.
video reenactment
Lol
Lol indeed.
Back in the day I took a female Foreign Exchange student my sister was hosting to the Mall of America over in the Soda. We were booking a hotel room and the guy at the front desk was very confused we wanted 2 beds. She was about 17 and I was around 26. He was even more confused when I made her pay.
Hell, my wife and I were once asked if we were siblings, a number of years ago.
No accounting for peoples’ pre-conceived notions and deductive reasoning skills. Or, lack thereof.

That’s all you need to say to the judge in most states. (but a nice wink is a good thing to do out of courtesy)
Oh, yes– a courtesy wink is just good manners.
I have an uncle who has an involuntary wink, it’s so hard to tell when he’s flirting with me.
I would think a good ‘tell’ is when he put’s his hand on your knee.

Once
Or the worse alternative “Eating for two?”
No, dammit, I’m eating for the army that is going to pull you out of your house and slap you around for a few hours while i decide on the terms of your fate.
Dayum, hayek….I might have to excuse my self for while!

Re: the Krispy Kreme and Panera Nazis… what a click-baity nothing-burger. A historical curiosity at
bestworst. You know which other Germany-based, centuries-old holding companies have ties to the Nazis? Every single one of them.At least IBM is in the clear…

I’m not clicking on anything with people dying, unless it’s Faces of Death.
No one dies but there is a great building explosion.
Huh. Perusing Real Clear Politics. It appears the Democrats are going to beat the dead horse just a little longer. I really wish they would concede that Trump is the legitimate president, so I can stop defending him.
(Guy who makes cartoons making fun of Trump, but still feels a need to defend him from this stupidity) *Nelson Laugh*
Trump is the worst. Except, it seems, for every other politician. And news-person. Goddamn, why are people making me defend him?
Lou at We the Internet is a friend of mine. Great guy. He, is not a racist.
It’s as though they don’t learn from their mistakes.
All right, time for me to do what all drunk insomniacs do and watch a documentary. That’s normal, right?
I’ll allow it.
It’s really late in Wisconsin so it has to be about WW II. Don’t worry. I won’t give away the ending.
And, don’t spoil Titanic, either!
I’ll wait three hours so you can finish it but after that… no promises.
Remember the aughts when the history channel was all wwii 24/7? I do
Yes. I fondly remember the Hitler channel.
Ah, those were the days for a WWII fanatic
They also had Mail Call and Shootout. God, I loved those shows.
“Documentary Now!” – almost as good as a real documentary.
