Back to our semi-regular feature, Things to Come. We have managed to pry more really good material out of all of our contributors the past two weeks, and SP has cracked the whip and restored….discipline here at Glibs HQ. I thank all of you who have, and who are contributing to our site. Please don’t tell yourself that nobody would be interested, or we won’t be bothered with running it, or any such thoughts about your contributions here. I have learned a fair bit, and enjoyed seeing what all of you have done or seen.
So, The Shape of Things to Come!
Monday – Animal returns with Part 1 of a new series. Bolt guns, baby! And Tulip pops in later, and delivers us a travel article.
Tuesday – Pie shows us around town. His town. The best town.
Wednesday – I…I am not sure I can take another Hat and Hair like last week’s… *shivers uncontrollably* But, I am sure SugarFree will craft…something that will tear our souls apart. And entertain. Always that.
Thursday – Two part 2’s! Subwoofer at Burning Man, and Evan in Sri Lanka.
Friday – Fourscore tells how a union made his life better (no, really! Just read it and you will see what he means)…followed by an evening visit from the Cryptid of the Week.
Weekend – Expect a visit from our usual strong line up of OMWC, Not Adhan, Mexican Sharpshooter and a special appearance.
Your weekday Links will continue to be provided by Banjos, OMWC, Brett and yours truly.
Over to you, the commentariat – remember, no OT in this post!

I just saw Endgame, and it was pretty good, but there were a few weird things.
I thought it was strange how the Russo Brothers decided to render Thanos’ erect penis in such vivid detail. The veins were so perfectly done I couldn’t even tell his cock wasn’t real.
Another thing I found weird was when Black Panther broke the fourth wall and gave the audience the n-word pass. I did appreciate it, but it would feel more in place in a Deadpool movie.
Overall it was a pretty good movie, but there were too many spoilers in the movie that took away from the excitement.
Also, Aquaman drowns and dies. That’s why I give Endgame 1/10.
*applauds*
Now that is the way to grief.
The best way to prepare for the movie is to watch all the other Marvell movies.
The best way to prepare for a colonoscopy is to shove a live porcupine up your ass.
As long as the doctor doesn’t stop you as you put your pants on and say “no, no, those are mine, yours are over there.”
HM should be submitting movie reviews.

All days I’m working from home. I look forward to this.
And I see I’m first loser.
Second! Yeah!
Damn. Bronze again. Bronze is worse than a participation medal.
???
I got a participation medal. I’m pretty proud of it. Not.
remember, no OT in this post!
No OT or nothing is OT?
Is that OT, should I not have done that?
Nothing is OT. Have at it!
I got nothing.
US Navy Driggs Mk IX 37mm Quikfire Cannon.
That guys a cock tease. He never fires any of the weapons he talks about.
Occasionally he does. Here he is talking about the AVS-36, and here he is shooting the AVS-36.
I’d say he fires every weapon that the owners let him and there’s working ammunition.
That’s pretty much it. He’s highlighting antique auction pieces for the most part.
They came again, Garfield. Those stray cats, barely clinging onto life came to my front door asking for food again. They live every day knowing that it may be their last, hoping they get enough food to sustain them, that’s all they need to be happy. But what about you, Garfield? You fat fucking cat. All you do is complain, eat and sleep. And you’re still unhappy. And you smoke MY FUCKING PIPE, GARFIELD. I want to teach you a lesson, Garfield. Today’s lasagna is going to be made out of those stray cats. Yes, I’m going to chop them up and put them in your food and see if you still eat it, and that’ll be all the food you get today. I hope you enjoy it. Garfield, why are you still living? You live the same routine every day: Eat, Complain, Kick Dog, Sleep. Does this not bore you, Garfield? To be honest, if I was you, I’d want to kill myself every single waking moment. I wouldn’t even give second thoughts, I’d just die then and there. So why don’t you do it? Are you too lazy, Garfield? I really fucking hate you, Garfield. You make me want to die, but if I do no one can feed you, and I can’t bring myself to kill you myself. If I set the house on fire, who would die first? Would anyone even hear you scream, or care? Do you really love lasagna that much, Garfield? Or is it just an excuse, and excuse to keep living? It’s your catalyst to prevent suicide. It’s your minds way of coping, isn’t it? You keep living because you think that tommorow you’ll have another slice of lasagna. I’m fucking sick of eating lasagna every day, you know that right? It isn’t even that good once it becomes the only thing you ever eat. Maybe I should stop feeding you lasagna.
This is where you live, Garfield. In my walls, next to the kitchen, under your bed. Living in the confines of the prison cell you call home, afraid to really leave. Not that you can’t, you’re just too afraid. Your smile is all wounds and lies, a mass of intrigue. Everyone knows, but no one seems to care. Depression is something you face alone. No one is here to help you, Garfield. Not even I am. You take out all your pain on that poor dog Odie and that little cat Nermal, all he wants is your affection. But you keep beating him. Bringing the pain out on others and feasting on lasagna is the only way to make the pain go away, isn’t it? Garfield, no one is here to help you. You will face this on your own. I have no lasagna, and I must eat.
Stray cats.

Not bad.
He still performs as Brian Setzer’s Orchestra.
Yep. I have some Brian Setzer’s Orchestra in my music collection.
?
Same.
Yeah, BSO was good. Too lazy to look it up, they had 2 or 3 hits back in the day, IIRC
I actually love the Christmas album.
+1
Also, he is married to a Minneapolis gal, so that makes him even more excellent.
Hey, everyone needs at least one character flaw.
More of a T-bird fan, myself,
Tell me..
More
Why get up
And Harlan Ellison approves.
I’m not sure he ever approved of anything.
Fair point.
I used to like Garfield. I’ve changed my mind.
Oh yeah…
Cats are cool
You almost got it.
Excellent
They really were.
And this.
My favorite
Always like the last two, coffee and mussels.
Spawn 2 and I just had a nice sing-a-long with that one. Thanks, Rhywun!
Difford/Tilbrook wrote more excellent songs than Lennon/McCartney.
Fight me.
How did you miss this one?.
This was the next song cued up. Goes right back to the previous thread on saxophones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPsQV-5HrAQ
I missed the saxophone thread, but that song is a wonderful memory.
That was my mom’s favorite album when it first came out. Heard it over and over for about three months.
I know that as the Dave Ramsey Show theme song. I’ve heard that intro many times.
Some good sax in this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XftabV9S2z0
That was nice.
My wife is out of town till Friday night for work. Bachelor Week!!! I started by watching Season 1 of The Young Ones and playing guitar on the sofa, for the ladt 3 hours. I’ve got 3 pounds of beef braising in red wine and homemade broth, with onions and garlic. In about a half hour, I’ll add a can of fire roasted tomatoes and let that simmer for another hour. Add green and black olives, and serve over spaghetti noodles. Heaps of feta, parmesan, a dollop of creme fraiche. Red wine, white wine, and now about to smash in to some vodka. Then about 6 more hours of jamming on the electric guitar. Bachelor life for me!!
Excellent.
I watched The Concorde: Airport ’79. Hilariously awful.
Alain Delon was in that turd burger? Contractual obligations are a bitch.
I watched it because Bibi Andersson died recently. She only had one scene.
Rock on. ???
I was going to do some stir fry tonight but don’t have it in me. On my second tequila soda and lime after a day of beer. Yes, I am too lazy for stir fry. Party Pizza it is!
I went down a rabbit hole of grilling Youtubes today. I would love one of those pellet smoker/grills but holy fuck $1200 is way out of bounds. I spent less on my current reasonable gas mileage pos truck that is everyday transportation.
I am going to make this for some jambalaya but not on a $1200 grill.
I don’t remember my wallet taking that kind of hit for the Traeger. About half of that as I recall (at Costco).
The guy with the channel is pushing these I was wrong about the price, they are more. I looked at a Traegar at the feed/redneck store a few months ago. I wasn’t impressed with the gauge of metal used in it. Seemed really light. That store would be way more expensive than Costco (which we don’t have) and I recollect it was priced around a grand.
Traeger moved production overseas then sold off the company.
Grilled up some bacon wrapped sirloins for dinner and now slipping into a glass ? of Old Overholt rye.
Life is good, at least until going back to work in the morning.
Old Overholt rye???
Just finished a Manhattan. I think I’m going to pop a bottle of wine to go with dinner. Pasta tossed with Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms and broccoli rabe. Bourbon comes later.
I made the keto-rific ‘crack chicken’ earlier, and Im knocking back can after can of Milwaukee’s Diet Beast like I dont have to work tomorrow.
Pico de gallo really goes well on top of crack chicken.
crack chicken also pairs well with Johnsonville cheddar brauts
Ha! I made smoked kielbasa & shredded chicken in a cheddar cheese sauce last week.
Great minds and all. ?
based on the past 7 months, keto works for me. Not only -30 some pounds, but the demonstrable positive effects on my glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides. And contrary to what some people say (lookin at you UCS) about it being a starvation diet, I generally eat around 2,500 calories a day.
Congrats, and it’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle. 3.5+ years for me and the gf.
Cuervo isn’t tequila and from personal experience, it is an evil drink.
I gave up my McD’s sausage muffin habit and have a fried Bar S Jalapeño and cheese smoked sausage on my way to work every morning. I am slowly making my way back to a paleo/keto diet. I have to find a super cheap tequila that doesn’t make me gag and I can cut down on the beers. Or start smoking pot on a regular basis. Ending the day sober just sounds depressing.
Milwaukee’s Best Light has something like 4.2% alcohol and 3.5g/carbs per 12 oz can. I look to operate at <50g-carbs/day, so that leaves me a LOT of latitude
I can’t do Milwaukee’s beast. Too many flashbacks and a vomit reflex. I am a beer snob and drink Miller lite which is less filling and tastes great. Same stats as the Beast. All light beers are in that neighborhood but only Mich lite markets it. That is the beer of finely tuned athletes dontcha know.
I don’t know if this is cheap enough for you but I definitely recommend it.
https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/tequila/reposado/olmeca-altos-reposado-tequila/p/131598750
That is right in the ballpark spud thanks. Haven’t heard of that one. I am drinking El Jimador right now which is more expensive than that and it is a cheap tequila but is ok in my book. I have been pondering getting a handle of Cuervo to see if I can stomach it. That is cheap tequila. I havn’t drank it since I discovered there where good tequilas but I can’t afford those anymore.
Try Legado if they stock it where you are. Best value tequila I have found.
*takes notes
You can get a 1.75L of Hornitoa Reposado for about 28 bucks. I’d call it pretty decent tequila and good at the price.
Wouldn’t freebase chicken be better?
That’s the same thing.
I checked my work laptop, but didn’t work today. I worked yesterday. Things might lighten up a bit at work soon.
I had some BBQ earlier today at a local BBQ place: Pulled pork, beef brisket, collard greens, and cornbread. Yum.
Interesting: (if you find whiskey history interesting)
The True Story of Old Overholt Rye
Full circle.
I’m drinking my Old Overholt in Bucks county PA.

My final report from Scottish football’s Highland League (Tier 5) on the (mis)fortunes of the Fort William Football Club. On Saturday they lost their final game of the season 5-1 to Wick Academy. This left FWFC will a season record of:
Played: 34
Won: 0
Drawn: 2
Lost: 32
Goals for: 21 (.62/game)
Goals Against: 245 (7.2/game)
Goal difference: -224
Total points: -7 (they were docked 9 points for an ineligible player at some point),
Wow. I have no idea what you are talking about but that looks really bad.
I was amused to read that the once mighty Notlob Wanderers didn’t play this weekend because their players walked out for not getting paid.
Yeah, there was actually a meeting scheduled to boot them from the league altogether but it looks like they’ve put it off.
Coventry City is also in trouble: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48036903
Why do you hate Michael Bolton Wanderers?
Actually I like them.
When I moved into the new place, I got the spiffy new 4k TV, and the UHD Blu-Ray player to go with it, and bought a UHDBR copy of Blade Runner 2049 to go with it, since that movie was so gorgeous in the theater. But I never got around to watching it. When my brother came to visit he bought me the 4k versions of the X-men films, which didn’t seem much better than a DVD played on a sub-60″ screen, so I didn’t think anything more about it.
Until I finally popped my copy of Blade Runner 2049 in. Ho Lee. Fuck. Honest to God, it looks better and I’m seeing more detail in it than I did when I watched it in the theater.
Also, the sequel is a better movie than the original, and if you disagree you are wrong.
*raises hand
Whats UHDBR?
Ultra Hipster Drinking Buddy Robot
WANT
Urethral Heavy Discharge, Bloody and Rancid ?
That explains the popularity.
Ultra Hot Decker Beating ‘Roids?
Under Her Dress, Bra Releases
Ugly Habit; Drinking Bathtub Rum
You’re wrong about who’s wrong, the original was better. 2049 is good though and it is a good looking movie.
Nah. The original was a very basic “guy fights underlings to get to Big Bad, wins girl.” With awesome special effects and an eye motive overlaid to make it deep and classy.
The sequel was a cinematic exploration of the nature of man as an animal and thinking being, as well as a study of the individual against to forces of history.
+1 Liked both, but liked the original (director with no happy ending voice overs) better.
Both are significantly different from the book. It’s been years since I’ve read it, but there was whole religious theme through book which explained all the animal fixations. Also made the title more interesting.
Yeah, I think the voice overs were added to the movie because the test audiences were having trouble figuring out what in the hell was going on. The voice over free version is definitely the way to go.
And let’s not forget crazy Sean Young!
+1 No Way Out
I’m hesitant to switch to 4k. When we bought our first HD TV set, there was already some HD content available on TV like NFL. There’s much less stuff available in 4k today: a random English soccer match once a week and that’s it. Sure, there are 4k blu-ray discs. But do I really want to buy a disc every time I want to watch a movie? I have many blu-ray discs and even a few HD-DVD(!) ones but I almost never rewatch them.
I don’t even know WTF my TV is. The technology is passing my interest in keeping up with it. What I do know is it’s about 7 years old and starting to flake out. I’m hesitant to get another because I heard they’re all “smart” now. I don’t want my TV to be “smart”.
Unless you’re an avid movie watcher I wouldn’t bother upgrading. To my knowledge there’s no broadcast 4K available in the US (not sure about Europe). Even the stuff available on Netflix and Amazon Prime is very limited.
^ Truth. I’ve had this TV since September, paid extra for the “4k” Netflix and still haven’t noticed a significant difference… until I put in this particular disc.
I was upgrading from a TV that I bought in… 1998? That I didn’t want to move to the new place.
Netflix and TV isnt driving the resolution business…its video games
And by video games you mean naughty videos.
Hadda buy a new Tv this year. It’s a huge difference. HD vs Uhd, that is. I almost had to buy two, because my kid knocked it over and broke the screen. It was a curved 4k and he cracked the screen three days after I bought it. I told my wife to go get another one, fully expecting to pay for it. She asked if they’d replace it and said that maybe it was broken out of the box or maybe my 6 year old broke it. They told her that since she kinda admitted it, they’ll replace it because most people insist that it was broken to start with. I was pleased. Anyway, They are nice! The curve renders any glare completely moot. Totally worth it.
The sequel sucked. It was: 1) an hour too long, 2) had nothing worthwhile driving the plot: a pair of replicants had a baby 30 years ago? So what. Is it happening now? No. So what’s the crisis? Who cares.
Lemme guess. You don’t have a library, but if you did, it would be nothing but shelves of Cliff’s Notes. Including for comic books.
I admit, I was drunk when I first watched it so may missed some it’s existential “nuance”. Still doesn’t change the the fact it had an hour’s worth of useless, pointless scenes.
Also, I have enough books to kill you if my bookshelves ever topple in your vicinity.
Slightly less snarky: The plot is operating at a “lower” level than what you are mentioning. Your objections could be easily made against Schindler’s List since its effect on Operation Overlord were negligible.
So what was the the plot about? What was the point of the movie? I watched it and have no idea.
IMO (I could be wrong) The plot was all about K. K is just some guy who thinks he might be special and then strives to prove that he is. And then it turns out that the isn’t. Sucks to be him. Pretty depressing actually. It’s pretty rare that Hollywood lets an “everyman” utterly fail and shows him to be a pawn in some else’s game.
And then there were gobs of callbacks to other movies. Someone tell me that the casino scene wasn’t a UA/Enter the Dragon reference.
So, to repeat, who cares? BladeRunner built a world. 2049 is just another parasite upon it, with a pointless plot about some loser doing losery stuff. Again, who cares?
As I recall, they played it coy as to whether Deckard is a rep (I don’t recall any talk in the film that specifically says that he is). Yeah, Scott firmly believes it, but the original movie story doesn’t have the same punch if he is. And, 2049 doesn’t need him to be one for the baby thing to be special.
Hell, Ford didn’t agree with Scott about the replicant issue.
Somebody fucked somebody 30 years ago in the future.
You know, that is as good a summation of the movie as any.
I liked it well enough. Razorfist, on the other hand….
Seriously, any 2049 fanboys out there: Quote a single line from the movie.
Not a quote (not a fanboi, either), but I give the movie props for this scene
Lost opportunity, she should have said ‘enhance’ instead of ‘zoom in’
Also, I’ll come out and say it, the original wasn’t a good movie either. It looked nice and had a good story, but wasn’t a good movie.
I can’t agree with that sentiment any more.
No. Why?
Dammit, you went and snuck that one in on me…I was agreeing with the ‘enhance’ comment, not the “not a good movie” claptrap….you heathen.
Are you talking to each other or to me? Skinny threads get confusing.
I was talking to you, CPRM. I had no idea quincy was still in, though, I don’t know why I didn’t realize it.
Well, first of all, when you talk about Blade Runner, which cut are you talking about? The Theatrical Cut, The Directors Cut or one of the many others? Wait, that doesn’t matter, they all suck. The pace of all of them too slow mimic what they are attempting to mimic, a film noir. And the characterization is all wrong, the femme fetal is innocent, Dekard is a boring blank slate and we’re told he specializes in apprehending replicants, but at no point does he he do a good job at it.
So, nobody quoted an actual line from 2049.
Hey–I said I wasn’t a fanboi. Plus, C quoted Luv (technically).
Like I said, I like the movie. I wasn’t attempting to persuade you, so much as I was simply adding my voice to the exchange. Plus, I’m not quite convinced of it’s quotability. It’s not a Monty Python flick, you know. 🙂
Wait, is Nobody Tulpa? Or is Everyone Tulpa?
Well, I’m Spartacus. I don’t know about the Tulpa hydra.
Weeeeelllll….we’re told that he’s the best, then, the second best. That doesn’t necessarily mean a specialization (apart from being in that division of the PD). Just a technicality. Yada-yada.
Also, is ‘film noir’ something that is typically fast-paced? I always thought of it…well, I never really thought of the pacing.
No. But even by that standard all cuts of the film are slow paced.
Are you Cory Booker Sparticus? Kirk Douglas Spaticus? Or the one with Lucy Lawless?
Oh, Lucy’s version, definitely.
I rented 2049 but never watched it, all I know about it is what Red Letter Media showed me.
Repeating a question from late last night; has anyone tried George Dickel Tabasco Brand Barrel Finish?
https://thewhiskeywash.com/reviews/whiskey-review-george-dickel-tabasco-barrel-finish/
It sounds like it might be something to skip unless you’re a bloody mary fan.
I’m thinking that at 2 for ~$20 I may as well do it and try and make a few bloodys with it.
That’s a good deal, I’d buy a couple at that price. If you don’t like the first bottle you can always gift the other one.
Thanks. I’m going to send my mini bottle on it’s way. I see in the article that Dickel has changed their name to try and associate themselves as some sort of PNW distillery and they’ve hired an idiot twenty years too young to be the master distiller. I predict more cockups for Dickel in the future.
It’s a hard case of Sunday night blues here, especially after a week off. On the plus side, we did get to sleep at home last night after that 11+ hour day in airports. Also I did the little things that make Sundays not so bad: laundry, mowed the lawn, and walked and/or ran with the dog three times. She also got to walk with the Heir holding her leash, which is getting easier for her to handle.
I get the Sunday evening blues too. Take some time to do something you enjoy tonight.
Can you teach my wife everything you wrote?
How did the SMITH clan come to be known as the cryptids anyway?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptids
Thanks!
Believe all women.
Comments are scathing
Cryptozoology is the study of creatures whose existence has yet to be—or else cannot entirely be—proved or disproved by science. These creatures, known collectively as cryptids, include examples like the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and the Himalayan Yeti, yet these famous cases are by no means the only ones on record.
STEVE SMITH RAPE SCIENCE UNTIL IT BELIEVE.
Gilmored
I got ya covered above.
I’ve brought this up on other occasions, but dating someone with Borderline Personality Disorder can have some incredibly great moments but a lot of minefields and are typically pretty turbulent. The longer you stay in the worse the outcome will be.
The vengeance, along with the threats of suicide whenever a breakup was discussed, pretty much identify this woman as a Borderline.
Be forewarned! Borderlines are the world’s best first date. You will be told you are incredibly handsome, charming, funny and a great lover. But right around the bend, a storm is brewing.
Truth.
I dated one of these many years ago. She did not take the breakup well and called me at work to say she was about to kill herself. She couldn’t go through with it though, and later said she felt like she’d been raped. If this was happening today it would probably have gone much worse.
In all seriousness, Doc, how the hell an you tell?
These stories scare the shit out of me. I would hate for Spawn 1 to crash into one of these.
Hypochondria seems to be a telltale sign as far as I can tell
How can I tell? Many years of hearing a story just like this pretty much at least once every shift.
Doc–if you’re still around, that sounds like a good story/set of stories, if you’re inclined to tell (and can do so).
So, please?
Yes they are.
Rhywun:
I’ve been thinking about what you’ve said in the past about liquor stores…that you don’t have any near you. So, let’s say you decided you had to have a bottle of rye. How far would you have to go to find a well stocked liquor store?
There are at least three within a five-minute walk of me. The issue is that NYC regs don’t allow chain stores. So most are tiny.
When I run out of Jameson I’ll ask if they have rye – it’s possible I just didn’t see it on the shelf. I’ve had no problem obtaining anything else I needed.
Ahh…I misunderstood. I thought you only had small bodega or c-store style joints around you with very limited liquor selections.
Hey, you live in NYC. That means you must run into Gilmore all the time. Smack him around a bit until he starts showing up here again.
I didn’t know Gilmore was a local.
TBH, I have no idea what is considered “local.” Do Manhattenites consider the other boroughs “local?”
On a related note, England was nice enough to give us a word for “stupid jumped-up peasants who have never left the Metropolis.” Is there a NYC equivalent of “cockney?”
To me “local” just means something like “the region”. So anywhere in the city and its suburbs. We are not all as provincial as the stereotypes.
Found a joint about a half-mile from me that has several ryes. Easy-peasy.
Stay away from the Jack Daniels rye. Yuck!
I would be all over a bottle of the Michter’s, but not at that price. Retail is $90 cheaper.
I see prices like that and just roll my eyes. It’s a couple hundred more than I would pay for 750ml of anything.
On occasion, I’ll pay that much for a bottle. But for the most part, there is some great booze out there that can be had for a fraction of the price.
Retail price that is, not what they have it at.
…was wondering, what do you mean by “retail”? And why is the price shown at this shop not it?
Idaho has state run liquor stores. They are not allowed to charge more than the recommended retail price set by the producer. Private liquor stores can charge whatever they want. That bottle of Michter’s would be $150 in Idaho.
I “won” a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 10yo bourbon in the rare release lottery a couple of years ago. I paid $63 for it. Look it up on the Interwebs and the very same bottle will cost you $500.
Oh. We don’t have state-run liquor stores. But as you probably know, everything is more expensive here.
Total wine does price matching. they will not match prices from Mission liquor. Mission would have this for 150.00, Glen 21y is about 160 there.
Yeah, that buys you 21 y/o Glenfiddich. I’ve had it and can’t imagine any american booze topping it.
I thought that in Nyc, you could have a dude with a bicycle bring you whatever you want to your door? When I was there, we got lasagna, cheesecake, all kinds of stuff delivered and at all hours too.
That is true. The joint I linked delivers, too. The problem with dudes on bicycles is that they expect a tip. Why on earth would I waste money on that?
That worked.

And now onto Knob Creek Barrel Proof Rye.
*golf clap*
Knob Creek, while always making me giggle by it’s name, is a solid single-barrel
Try Blanton’s too.
I like almost all of the Slob Knobbin’ Creek line. I love the Single Barrel bourbon and the Small Batch Rye is my go to for Manhattan’s.
I have a bottle of the Barrel Proof Bourbon, haven’t tried the rye. Do you drink it neat or cut it with a little water?
They’ve relabeled the bourbon and now it’s called, “Single Barrel Reserve”. Fortunately, I still think it’s a superb, reliable whiskey.
I do use a splash of water to cut the heat on these high octane whiskeys.
Where Mojeaux be @ ? I was going through old emails and found yet another example of my prose that I used to try to get some chubby CL broad to bang me. And it worked.
I want her critical author’s opinion.
Did you offer a freezer full of hot pockets and pizza rolls washed down with boxed chardonnay?
brah- that made ME moist
Change the “boxed chardonnay” to “a box of Busch Light” and I’l change teams.
Wow, that went SugarFreeesque way too quickly.
Right? And about Hotpockets, no less?
Basically, “I’ll suck your dick for hot pockets and a box of chardonnay”. Winston’s mom is shaking her head in disgust.
Here I am.
Hot Pockets sound weirdly appetizing at the moment.
Engineered foodstuffs with the optimal fat and salt levels to induce cravings sound good? The hell you say.
*ears perk up*
Salt?
nom nom nom
Yeah. It’s kind of funny: I lose weight during the week, but on the weekend I gain it all back because I have breakfast at a pair of awesome diners. It’s all sodium.
You forgot sugar
A couple of weeks ago I was in the hospital for an ulcer and they made me stay on a clear liquid diet till my EGD the next day. I have never had worse broth in my life. I tell you, I had nurses slipping me salt right and left.
MOAR SALT!
I like the four cheese ones.
Well, we know you’re not stoned, so apparently you’re pregnant. Congratulations!
*checks hysterectomy operative notes*
Nope, not pregnant, either.
Whew! Just good old fat and salt cravings then.
Let me know what you think. To be fair, this was when I was (like Coleridge) using vast amounts of opiates and alcohol. For breakfast.
“However, once my Grandmother was dragged kicking and screaming into Good Sam over a near fatal case of hemorrhoids. Well, complications from, actually. She knew it hurt coming out, so she opted to not eat, effectively not putting anything in. Not a wise diet for an 85 year-old with borderline diabetes. Once she was too weak to put up a fight, my Mom and Aunt had her packaged up and sent in via ambulance. Anyhoo, having been notified, I popped into the ER on my way home from work, found her bed, and with no other family about to direct (nay, caution) me, I poked my head through the curtain only to see her in flagrante getting a rectal/pelvic exam. Never mind having been a soldier during the 1st Gulf War- the training, the threat of chemical weapons, the charred corpses left over from carpet bombings…none of it can equal the shock of seeing Grandma in stirrups. The image of Granny-cooze forever seared into my retinas and associated synapses like a branding iron, my blood ran like ice water, the room spun, and my scream of terror never materialized as it was trapped, frozen in my throat. Reeling from the sight, I stepped backwards, gasping for air, my hands on my face like Munch’s The Scream or a macabre version of that kid from “Home Alone”. Stumbling, pointing at the offensive curtain and muttering “p-p-p-p-ussy…” a kind face came into view. “Sir? Are you OK? Sir?” But all I could say was the p-word over and over as tunnel vision set in. I felt arms around me as I slowly lost consciousness, guiding me safely to the floor as the darkness overwhelmed me, and I was out.
I came to laying on a stretcher. A cannula was pumping oxygen up my nose, a 12-lead EKG had been fastened to me, and a nurse was dabbing the cold sweat away from my forehead. Seeing my eyelids flutter, she smiled a warm smile and said “are you back with us now”? Clearing my throat and finding the voice that had been trapped behind my clamped-down larynx, I managed a tentative “yeah….sorry…Im not sure what happened”. She smiled that smile again, patted my hand, and said “dont worry- it happens all the time. Just another case of ava vaginitis syncope”. “Whats Ava…vaga….synco…whatever?”, I said. Walking out of the room she said “Fainting from Granny Pussy. Its completely natural. Nobody should see that.” Physically I made a complete recovery. Emotionally, its still something Im working through with my therapist.
OK…so maybe I embellished that a bit. And maybe I made up ava vaginitis syncope. But I did walk into the pelvic, and trust me, you never see the world through the same eyes.”
Granny pussy and carpet bombing.
*snicker*
“ava vaginitis syncope” 80’s new wave band name?
I can see why it worked.
Made me LOL for the first time all weekend?
Also, Mr. Mojeaux wants to know if “CL” means cock-loving.
No, dear. That’s the good ol’ Craigslist.
“Made me LOL for the first time all weekend?”
It did what I hoped for.
Thank you. You’ve no idea how much I needed that.
So this doe walks out of the forest…
If only it was a decade ago, and you were single.
1-ingredient panty-soup. As it turned out, the respondee (out of quite a few), Melissa, and I dated for 3 years or so. We had a LOT of fun, but since the introduction was based on a CL ad that was fueled by arrogance, opiates, and alcohol…not a solid foundation.
Who cares? Like you said it worked, unless… *waggles eyebrows*
Top-shelf trollery.

I dearly hope the emojis come through.
And I’m going to say again, the dude no doubt has notes for fucking days. Reams of notes. Farm out the work to a ghostwriter. Just give all of your goddamn notes to somebody else so you can focus on cashing all the HBO checks that keep piling up.
It looks like that opioid epidemic we’ve all heard so much about is at least a partially ginned up narrative based on modified truths and slick categorization and statistical tricks…

Holy moley, time to ban all drugs. /gungrabber logic
Great article. Thanks, Stinky.
This is my shocked face.
Next thing you going to tell me that the Theater of Pain album cover didn’t actually mean that Motly Crue were sacrificing babies to Satan.
Don’t matter to me anyway. Anything you voluntarily do to yourself is AOK by me. Even if it kills you. If you don’t own yourself, you have nothing. Legalizing it is merely accepting individual autonomy. I’d, morally at least, prefer to be the drug addict than the scumbag who hunts them and puts them in cages.
G’night all. On Tres’ advice, I have gotten completely hammered, on the theory that the alcohol coma will allow me to awake completely rested (if dehydrated) and ready ot face the new work week!
‘Night! Good luck with that “work” thingy.
I just realized there’s no Woke Charmed on the list of coming attractions! Did MLW succumb to the surely lethal dose of derp? I find myself craving her take on the next episodes.
Oh my, you’re right. I hope that was an oversight. But the Swiss never have oversights! Or do they have oversights, they are just never late?
But the Swiss never have oversights!
They’ve been coasting on their reputations for years. This is the kick in the ass that they desperately need.
That’s one more tool they’re gonna have to add to their army knives.
Well, it already has a corkscrew so they can just say they were drunk.
A day late on seeing this but fear not, as far as I know Woke Charmed is on the menu for Tuesday evening. I got it all uploaded today, anyway, so I’m assuming it still is.

Can We Please Relax About ‘Socialism’?
Only in America is the word freighted with so much perceived menace.
Sure we can relax. Just as soon as you figure out a way to resurrect the millions and millions that died due to it and make whole the hundreds of millions more who merely suffered under it. Fuck you, you POS for having the gall to write an apology for evil.
You know who else said to relax?
Fuck yes.

Oh, come on. This can’t be anything other than parody. Sadly, the rest is paywalled. ?
Even the smallest of airports seem to have CNN on if they still have public televisions. The only one in an airport I’ve ever seen tuned to Fox News was the Alaska Airlines lounge in Anchorage.
Are you saying that his pretentiously overwrought prose might be inaccurate?!
I mean, he hasn’t personally been to an airport in the upper midwest (or been to the midwest, even), but he knows a guy who escaped his Drumpf-loving family in like Iowa or something who assures him this is exactly what it’s like.
No, he probably grew up in Iowisconsinois, but everyone there was totally unwoke and didn’t like him, so of course they’re evil.
Are you saying that his word diarrhea is ‘prose’?
You, sir, are far too kind.
Why do you hate poets?
They can be kinda faggy.

I hope that’s a parody account.

“The men at Fox News have a sickly obsession with AOC, partly because they resent her cleverness, charisma and moral vitality, but mostly because they suspect that in high school she was one of those girls they had no hope of getting a date with”
Putting aside she is neither moral or clever, if English is your first language, and you can’t figure out how ending a sentence with a preposition generally makes no sense, I have no interest in your opinion. Writing “she was one of those girls they had no hope of getting a date” has the same meaning.
Robert Stack agrees.
WTF does that even mean?
“though, really, she comes across as someone who could look past a face of even the purest suet if she thought she glimpsed a healthy soul behind it).”
You mean “although, she actually comes across as someone who could look past a face of even the purest suitor if she thought she glimpsed a healthy soul behind it)”?
Or was she was making tallow candles? Suet is the abdominal fat of sheep and cattle.
“We call this, I believe, being free. And as long as we have access to all the military-grade guns we could ever need to fight off invasions from Venus, and to assure that our children will be slaughtered at regular intervals in their schools, what else can we reasonably ask for?”
Christ, what an asshole.
Eh, balls… Let’s have some Peace, Love & Understanding.
Love that version.
That’s not funny.
blackjack: wasn’t trying to be. I don’t get the reference.
Tundra: It’s great, although I got there through Elvis Costello links (who was also great in his time). YouTube queued up Train in Vain after that, so I’m not gonna whine.
It’s right in the title.
Okay, it’s late night in the States, straffin, and I’ve had about 11 hard seltzers, so I’m gonna need a tad more explication.
My apologies for thickness.
Getting kinda meta?
Everybody is having too much fun at your expense here.

Jeebus, that’s all? Ugh.
I believed in you, Glibs! I believed in you!

Sorry, everyone. My first thought to blackjacks’ reply was that there was some sort of terrorist attack somewhere that I hadn’t heard about, and that he thought my linking the song as some sort of ironic commentary in poor taste. I didn’t even consider a straightforward joke.
Whee! It’s 2019!
Imma go drink some more.
It’s cool, man. I was just funnin’
blackjack – it’s cool man. Booze and negativity are never a good mix.
Still, I’m gonna have another, since I gone this far.
Also thanks, Sensei, for helping me sort the forest from the trees.
Hmmm. I thought I was missing some kind of joke. Fire away, BP.
Okay, straff….
Q: What do you call a Japanese woman with one leg?
A: Irene
Cum on Irene?
The new Glibs album? I mean, talk about your perfect title….

See. That is funny.

I’m voting for him twice in 2020.

Episode three of Horace and Pete is actually pretty gripping. What a weird fucking project.

I own that movie, should watch it again at some point.
#metoo – I really like it. And it was my immediate thought to your previous comment too.
I should too. I need to find a good source of older movies. Cronenberg, great cast, a very sexy Jennifer Jason Leigh, and a young Sarah Polley.
OK, maybe those last two aren’t Rhywun’s thing, but he gets a Jude Law with two buttholes 😉
Enh he’s OK but I dig Callum Keith Rennie more.
Ah, the Canadian Daniel Craig! He makes a good cylon.

No, straff. No!
Saw something that freaked me out today as I was walking about town. A lady pushing a cart walked past me so I took a peek inside and saw a small creature. Bald, toothless and a shorts packed with feces. What the hell is that?
Latest promotional effort by these guys?
A bottomless pit. Throw all of the money you want in there, it never fills up.
Geez…gone four days, and I return on a Sunday evening to see almost 300 comments and cock talk galore.
What the hell is going on around here?!?
Apparently, to get a blowjob from some of the Glibs, all it takes is a couple of HotPockets and a box of bad chardonnay. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that the LP hasn’t been able to rouse support for Libertarian candidates.
I wa-….a blowjob, eh? I mean, it’s tempting–we may not actually have women in these here parts, but, the myths are pretty awesome.
Hot Pockets?! How dare you!? I’m on a diet, Lean Pockets!
Same here, but, I could never stomach HP/LP…. I mean, it’s what I fed jailed people for 3 years.
Some people feed pigeons, you fed prisoners, tomato peach.
Well, I was obligated by statute.
/are the pigeon-feeders obligated by statues?

Relevant…and, delightful!
It’s that second bit that always made me laugh. I need to re-watch that.
Golden week. 10 days off thanks to our new emperor.

See, that right there is another great title for a Glibs-type project.
I was assured that would be in the Mueller report, I was let down.
We figured you weren’t watching so we cut loose.
You know me so well, bruh.
Also, a recording of said cutting.
The word ‘Parody’ has lost all meaning, saying booger 1500 times.
Well, when you go to Youtube for it….
A test for the soon to be Live Action Hat and Hair movie.
As long as it included a scene of that luncheon/dinner, I’m all in.
In case you missed it, Trump was up here last night, and he brought Pie on stage, then this. I think a good show is abrewin.
