The Cryptid of the Week order of presentation got a bit scrambled. OK, we lost it. Rather than try to hash out who/what would link when, we asked all three of our very special contributors to give us a hand tonight. First up, the Senior Vortex Correspondent, Zardoz.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. THE TABERNACLE HAS SCANNED THE CHOSEN ONES COMMENTARY AND ARTICLE CONTRIBUTIONS SINCE LAST ZARDOZ SPOKE. ZARDOZ IS PLEASED. ZARDOZ WAS PREPARED TO THRILL ALL OF YOU WITH THE STORY OF THE GUN WIELDING, NEARLY AN EVIL PENIS SELF-ELIMINATING BRUTAL THAT KEPT ILLICIT SUBSTANCE STORED IN HIS ANAL CAVITY…HOWEVER, THE CHOSEN ONES MIGHT HAVE ALREADY NOTICED IT. THEREFOR, RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE LINK FROM ZARDOZ!
- ZARDOZ WONDERS HOW HE CAN GET A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEWSPAPER MENTIONED IN THIS STORY. WHILE A BIT PUZZLED AT THIS PROCLAMATION; “In a rare video published by IS’s Al Furqan network in April, the group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi encouraged followers to fight on and weaken the enemy by attrition, stressing that waging war is more important than winning.” ZARDOZ WILL ACCEPT ANY RESULT THAT LEADS TO CONTINUED CLEANSING OF THE FILTH OF BRUTALS.
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Well, I have to say, it is nice to see that Zardoz keeps track of all of your comments and contributions. For all his demands for “cleansing”, I think he may be a bit of a softie inside. Next up, our Senior Cascadia Correspondent, STEVE SMITH.
STEVE SMITH GLAD BE HERE. HIM FLY IN FROM CASCADIA…AND ARMS TIRED! STEVE SMITH WANT TRY HAND AT COMEDY, LIKE COUSIN SEA SMITH. HIM NEED LEARN MORE JOKES. ASK BEAR, MOOSE AND RACCOONS, BUT THEM NOT VERY FUNNY. SO STEVE SMITH RAPE BEAR, EAT MOOSE AND USE RACCOON AS LOOFAH. NOW THAT HILARIOUS! BUT FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN PEOPLE WANT LINK, SO STEVE SMITH FIND GOOD LINK. AND HIM GIVE LINK. TO YOU.
- STEVE SMITH SAD SEE PART OF CASCADIA WEAK AND HELPLESS. 100 HOBOS TERRORIZE BIG CITY. SO HIM OFFER HELP. BY HELP, MEAN RAPE TROUBLE MAKING HOBOS.
FREE CASCADIA!
Free Cascadia indeed, Steve. With that, we come to our final contributor for the night. SEA SMITH, our Senior Maritime Correspondent.
SEA SMITH GLAD SEE COUSIN STEVE SMITH TRY JOKES! SEA SMITH GOOD JOKE TELLER. WHY FISH BLUSH? IT SEE OCEAN’S BOTTOM! HAHAHAHAHA! SEE WHAT SEA SMITH MEAN? BUT YOU NOT HERE FOR JOKE. YOU WANT LINK. SEA SMITH FIRST SAY MAP NOT HIM! … MAYBE SOME “BOARDED”, IYKWSSMAITYD!

Wow. We got all y’alls tonight.
And in before Tres.
Hit much mutherfu….
Well, anyways, here’s a fun tune and video.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=emOKaGi8u5U
Friday night links. I’m not supposed to be on Glibs at this hour – I’ve got things to do.
According to my checklist… well…
I need to pack my toothbrush. The rest of it’s done. but I still need to use that this evening and tomorrow morning.
Don’t forget to pack the tooth brushing gloves!
?
Also, I hope your road trip goes well.
Thank you.
Yep. Enjoy yourself. Do you plan on doing the “take everything literally” shtick at all the truck stops you fill up at?
The fuel pumps don’t seem to notice.
Every machine the customer uses talks here. The ticket machine has a lady on the screen that bows deeply when you’re done buying a ticket. The display is waist high for me and if I thrust my hips forward it looks like she’s performing superb customer service.
I would ne in prison for vandalism in no time due to smashing the machines.
If you make it out here, I’m sure we could make space for you at our table.
I’d track bat-killing fungus all over your tatami mats.
Yeah, bud. Enjoy the adventure. Get drink at least once. And do something impulsive.
Wash his hands without gloves on?
Lol
Oh hey, I found an unopened spare in the medicine cabinet next to the floss. I can pack that and not have to worry about remembering tomorrow morning.
Oh, thank got.
Have fun.
Try to like something.
I wouldn’t fret so much over the bats if I didn’t like them and the undergound spaces they roost in.
Just a reminder for any other geeks here. Tomorrow is both towel day and the date of the Glorious Revolution. Carry your towel, wear your lilac, and remember Douglas Adams and PTerry.
Did you ever do the Corn Ride or whatever it’s called that’s 25 or 50 miles and cuts through Peninsula?
The Sweet Corn Challenge out in Peninsula, Ohio? That was my first supported ride. I did the 50 mile, and we had to call it at 45 due to rainstorms. They’ve cancelled the bike ride the past couple of years.
Yeah, that’s it. I didn’t know it was suspended, but I haven’t been there in *does math very poorly* 15 years or so.
The CVNP is pretty much why I lean libertarian. It’s revolting to see property seized from people turned into these show piece hipster farms for jerks.
I did it the second to last year they held it, back in 2016. Longest ride I had done before that was a ~50 mile ride, but all lakeshore riding, where it was all flat. I was not prepared to do the climbs on that ride. If you ever find your way back to the area, let me know.
I might be there in August. I’ll let you know.
Towel snaps for everyone!
I left work at 1145a and started boozing at 230 this afternoon.
Good start to the weekend.
What the hell took so long?
Traffic jam?
That’s poor planning. He should have had a 6 pack on ice in a cooler in the backseat.
Rookies.
Having been arrested once, I’ll pass on giving the cops another reason to put me in their custody.
Had to look at a house for sale.
Thank god it’s the weekend, and a three dayer at that. Little League season is over so no coaching duties, just hang with family and friends, watch some sports including Indy and F1 Monaco and eat and drink.
Tomorrow, the girlfriend and I will be heading downtown to the Taste of Summer fest.
Looks fun, enjoy the kickoff to summer.
“Hobos” would slit your throat in the boxcar for a can of beans, but they wouldn’t crap on the sidewalk. “Homeless criminals” on the other hand…
A buddy sent a homemade sign someone/some business made begging people not to take a public shit. I’m sure it will work out well.
You want death squads? This is how you get death squads.
Does your neighborhood not have P.U.P. (Pick Up Poop) signs?
we asked all three of our very special contributors to give us a hand tonight. First up, the Senior Vortex Correspondent, Zardoz
I thought ZARDOZ didn’t have any hands to give.
I have a question for the Glibs.
“White Nose Syndrome” is a fungal infection that kills bats. One of its big vectors for getting from cave to cave besides on bats is on people’s clothes. There is some debate if it’s possible to get rid of the spores through regular wash – especially troublesome are shoes, which both come into contact with more surfaces containing the spores, and are not as readily laundered.
I like bats, bats eat mosquitos, I also like visiting caves. The problem is the Soudan mine has a known infestation of White Nose Syndrome fungus, and a potential theme for next year is “The Hole in the Ground Tour” visiting caves, craters, and canyons.
I have old shoes and old clothes that I can wear to Soudan and decommission afterwards at no great loss. But I’m immediately wondering about secondary transfer – say to my car and then back to me when I go visit these other caves.
How long is reasonable to worry about that? Because fungal spores are durable things.
From my understanding (limited at best), spores can survive some extreme conditions. Some quick searching found me nothing useful.
Wouldn’t a spray bottle with 50/50 bleach water be pretty effective for killing spores on your shoes?
I don’t believe so.
Hold on a second, the decontamination guide has a chart.
Yes, Bleach is listed as known effective.
Ethanol 60% or greater for one minute
Isopropanol 60% or greater. for one minute
Hydrogen Peroxide 3% or greater for one minute
Bleach as per label instructions.
Hot water > 131 degrees for 20 minutes.
So, boil the clothes and soak the car in isopropanol…
Buy some Everclear, soak your clothes in it, then use it to make jungle juice.
Isopropanol is cheaper.
The hangover’s a bitch.
Or just drink enough that you’re sweating 60% or greater ethanol…
Good plan.
Maybe convince the bats to quit doing coke?
Do you speak bat? I’m not fluent.
I’ll bet you could get your message across with the proper emojis.
? ?? ❄ = ??
? ? ? = ??
This guy gets it.
??
I don’t speak bat, but I figure I’ll wing it.
I’ll bet you would be unflappable.
You’ll be flying blind.
Would the spores really stay alive on your shoes for a year?
How about if you freeze them?
Freezing generally doesn’t kill spores.
Oh shit, that’s right. I should have known that; I’ve seen The Thing (’82 and ’51)
Science!
Never saw the 51 version, but the 82 one left me unable to ever eat licorice ropes again.
’51 was pretty decent. (akshully it’s called The Thing from Another World)
SPOILER ALERT: Under The Thing costume is
Matt DillonJames ArnessYou could always read a book.
Readin’s for rich people.
/looks at bank account.
Huh?
/looks at library.
Haha. That;s a catch-phrase from a guy I used to work with. He was…incurious. He knew what he knew (mostly from hands on experience) and thought reading for pleasure was a waste of time.
Yeah, that movie genuinely scared the shit out of me. Therefore a classic.
Which one? ’82 had a great score that really helped to build the tension. Great flick.
’82.
It was that fear of people being not who they appear to be. Freaked me out as a kid, too. A couple years after that movie I saw The Evil That Men Do. First time I ever saw jumper cables clamped on testicles. That left a mark, too.
unable to ever eat licorice ropes again.
*stops eating twizzler mid-chew*
Could you maybe use tolnaftate (topical remedy for jock itch and athletes foot which are also fungal infections) to treat everything onsite then wash (bleach) everything once you get back home?
Winding down day 2 of my 5 day weekend. Spent the last two working on changing the hub and a CV boot on my truck. Finally got it all disassembled. It was way harder than it should have been…which is par for the course when I work on vehicles.
Anyway, done playing mechanic for the night and am proceeding to do my best Otis Campbell impersonation. (not really)
To celebrate, I’m having one of these.

How do you like it? I’m a whisky noob, but I’ve liked the Speysides that I’ve had so far.
You have a wonderful journey ahead of you if you like what you’ve tried.
I may have to move on to whisky next…
It’s decent. It tends to be at the lower end of the price range which makes it good for a regular drink. As opposed to, say, Jura which is one of may faves but is expensive enough to be once a week at the moment.
What! You can’t get that in your state!
If you’re going to bootleg, can you at least hook a beer geek up?
? I know people.
Seriously, if you want me to send you something (this is fucking amazeballs) let me know and I’ll see what I can do. A coworker is from Sconieland and goes back every so often.
Just some standard trash talk.
Many years ago, a local beer store (in Ohio) had several sixers of Spotted Cow they had in the back they only offered to regulars. I won’t taunt you with the beers I currently have in the fridge. 🙂
The talk earlier about the Fathead hefe got my attention.
It’s a crying shame that I’m less then four miles from their production facility. I’m very amused that last time I was there (and picking up a sixer to go) the girl asked if I worked there.
Yeah, the New Glarus Red is awesome.
If uncivil were traveling the other way he could act as a mule and bring you some New Glarus, but he’s not entering beer world until after he’s by you.
Akshully, if he really liked me, he could pick me up some in Superior before heading this way.
I approve.
Thank you.
Pick up replacement bees tomorrow morning, 2 hour drive each way, hope these are the ambitious ones but they came from CA so who knows? Even the working stiff bees wanna leave CA.
Bee 1: *bzz*”Like, where’s the beach at?”
Bee 2: *bzz*”Forget the beach, where are the buildings?”
Bee 3: *bzz*”This place smells off, where’s the Patchouli and street poo?”
Hopefully they don’t bring their California voting habits with them.
Being mean to a lady.

Well, goodnight everyone. I’ll see our sharply dressed rat in the morning, then venture forth into soviet canukistan.

I like the mead. It’s a good sipper. I had expected a little more carbonation, though. Does the higher alcohol require more time for that to happen?
I also see why you like a little residual sugar. I wouldn’t add much, but a hint would be nice. Next batch will go in the mini keg.
I’ve found higher ABV things need more time to carb up. Especially if you don’t repitch yeast.
Thanks, that’s what I was hoping. It’s only been three weeks.
Sparkling wine/cider/mead made with wine yeast is much slower that beer. A couple of months minimum.
Force carbonation for the win!
Who wants carbonated beverages?

Dibs on #3
#8 confuses me.
Try to enjoy yourself and find at least a few things you like.
A message for us all? Why, I don’t know what to say. I’m touched.
I don’t think I can manage that.
So… did the British guy get fired yet for his horrible mansplaining attack on Naomi Wolf?
You and your mere, bourgeoise facts.
Feelings don’t care about your facts.
I love this place. You people are the best.
Eh, it’s just the rustic charm of a mixed-income crowd.
Ad-blocked but LOL that’s one of last good ones I saw before I lost interest.
South Park did a good riff on that, creating hipster area SoDoSoPa (South Downtown South Park). Then an even hipper area evolved from an Asian slum area called Shi Tpa Town (say slowly in an exaggerated Chinese accent to get the full meaning). Can’t take any hipster rebranding seriously since.
Shrek looked deeply into Donkey’s eyes wondering if he felt the same way he did. He could feel the electricity in the air as he stared and Donkey stared back. Donkey looks out to the sunset pondering if Shrek felt the same way. Both of them feeling the tension in the air, waiting for one to make a move. Shrek could feel his massive cock poking out of his pants while looking at Donkey. He could feel the cloth of his pants strain and push his cock, the feeling almost euphoric. Donkey, not wearing anything because he was an animal, had his cock visible and erect. Shrek started to stroke his cock with his left hand while staring at Donkey’s scepter getting harder and harder. Slowly, Shrek started to get an urge to rub up against Donkey. He stroked faster. Donkey, unable to control his arousal, cums without being provoked. His cum, now on the ground, Shrek sticks his cock into the dirt while lapping up Donkey’s cum. Donkey blushes, Shrek starts to gently rub the hole around the top. Donkey moans. He could feel Shrek’s dirty fingers rub around his cock. He started to breath harder and harder until Shrek engulfed his member with his mouth. The stickiness of his mouth around Donkey’s cock.
Knowing Shrek was going to continue to arouse Donkey, he didn’t bother to refuse. They continued for the rest of the night until both met their climax and jizzed all over each other’s faces.
That camera angle makes him look fat.
No, the fact that he’s morbidly obese, and not just a little, makes him look fat. That camera angle is merely unflattering, but there really are no flattering ones when one has that high a BMI and chooses to wear a wife-beater.
An X Ray would make him look thinner.
Shrek, was a bit more intense than I remembered. I remembered it being all Eeels songs and dated references.
Don’t ever change, HM. Don’t ever change…
In Shrek 2 it’s revealed that Donkey had kids with the Dragon, but how the fuck did he get it in? Assuming that the average donkey is 4.7 feet long, the dragon is around 5.5 times the size of Donkey, it would come in at a massive 25.85 feet.
A human’s vagina is typically considered to be 2/5 of the way up the human body, meaning that to reach the dragon’s vagina, Donkey would have to get a 5.67 ft stall.
In addition to this, the average vagina depth of a woman is around 4-5 inches. Considering the average size of a woman is 5′ 4″, we can see that the dragon is approximately 4.7 times larger than the average woman. Due to this approximation we can estimate that the vaginal depth would be 4.7 times bigger also: this means the dragon has a 21″ deep vagina.
The average donkey penis is around 14″, making it just over half the size of the vagina. However, sperm can only travel around 18 cm before dying, meaning that it could never reach the dragon’s cervix.
In conclusion, there is no way that Donkey could have impregnated the dragon.
Hotdog, Hallway
And an appropriate (for a given level of appropriate) song.
Nice.
An interesting conundrum but I always assumed he had the Gingerbread Man suck him off, crawl up in there, and spit.
So…he DID know the Muffin Man!
“Life will find a way “
Did you account for the fact that Donkey is black and would obviously have a longer than average dick?
No, I didn’t think so.
Donkey dong is already the gold standard for big dick, I think you just turned it up to eleven.
Okay dude that wasn’t fucking cool you fucking asshole degen bitch. I hope you swallow a fucking spider in your sleep and it fucking bites your heart while you’re sleeping and you FUCKING DIE IN YOUR SLEEP ASSHOLE.
P.S. GO FUCKING SHOOT YOUR DOG TOO DEGEN FUCKING BITCH
P.S.S. Delete that fucking post or my lawyers **WILL** be in contact.

Well, shit! That’s all you had to say!
There’s no eggplant emoji in there.
Dragons are generally assumed to have reptilian reproduction, so cloaca and hard shelled eggs instead of uterus and vag.
But they do have to get fertilized… somehow.
You’re saying Donkey was a cuck?
Obviously.
Hi, everybody! (Waits for mixed chorus of “Hi, Dr. Nick!”, “Hi, Norm”, and “who the heck is this geezer?”)
Today was the last day of school for the kids. Not for me, if I work really hard and fast I might get 4 weeks off (with pay- I’m salaried!), but probably will be 3 and that’s ok, doesn’t count against my vacation time!
It has been an absolutely insane week, but not because of the kids. The adults have lost their damn minds. I’m pretty sure they were passing out crack whenever I left the room.
But, they’ll be gone after next week, and I’ll have the building to myself, and can repair and improve in peace. I will miss some of the

My wife found this site, and now I’m drinking even more heavily than is normal for a Friday night in the People’s Republic of Madison. The derp is truly mindblowing.
Cervical cancer FTW!
At the risk of ruining a joke, I don’t see the connection.
Oh, no joke. Toxic feminism is…well, toxic, is all.

“Talk Civil Liberties To Me” Ok, what are your thoughts on the criminalization of speech writ so called ‘hate speech’? And also, how are you so stupid? (BTW, spell check says criminalization isn’t a word, so it suggests decriminalization. Language, how does it work?)
Spell check is such an asshole.
So no No MAMM T-shirts
Sorry MAAM
Too much drinking in Madison? That sounds dangerous.
In Wisconsin (even the lowly south) it’s never drinking too much, just drinking more.
Exactly. There’s no such thing as too much drinking.
But there is such a thing as not enough drinking, and that’s where I am.
More whiskey!
I’ve been trying to teach the girlfriend how to mix drinks. It’s not going well, she tasted the Boulevardier she made and said it was the worst thing she ever put in her mouth.
At least it wasn’t you…
???=?
?♀️
?
Something I can try with ingredients I already have! BRB
Go for it. If you like balanced bitter drinks, it’s great. She’s not happy with a drink unless it can give you diabetes.
Mmmm tasty. The rye is kinda buried, though.
Also, Wisconsin and mixing drinks, it’s only brandy old fashion, the rest is shots and beer.
Did she swallow it anyways?
I hope she didn’t spit it out.
Unfortunately, she spit out the sip of the Boulevardier into the sink.
We’re currently discussing how I’m supposed to deal with a random 19 year old hitting on my in a couple months. The hope is the lesbian who I’ll be sharing a bed with will protect me from really terrible decisions.
/I’ve requested the girlfriend’s permission before posting this to make sure it’s accurate.
I, uh…what now?
Neph as the impotent leader of Nexium confirmed.
At least it didn’t hit her in the eye.
The 19 year old is based on a random girl who was trying to hit on my on St. Patrick’s Day. She really didn’t get the fact I was more than twice her age. I thought she was just mocking the old guy for a while. It got quite creepy for me when she wouldn’t listen to anything I said.
That’s a negative?
Hitting on my what?
CPRM: It was a girl who was half my age, trying to hit on me in front of her mother and my girlfriend. Anything I could do to calm her down would be a win. I understand the concept of daddy-issues, but she went beyond that.
Way to brag brah. (If not clear, I’m being satirical. Given my morality and how fucked up women round these parts are this is my future) But I keed.
Yes, yes, I think we’ve covered the 19 year old, but I’m still curious about the lesbian you will be sleeping with.
MikeS: The lesbian is much less interesting. She’s an old friend of mine who tried to auction me off once. And has let me crash at her place multiple times. She is still upset by the fact she’s never seen me hungover. There’s an event coming up where the girlfriend will be out of town, and the lesbian friend has said I can stay there, if I cuddle her at night.
Oh there’s trouble! Right here in Lakeside City!
There’s a messenger app there to let you chat with a customer service person. I’ve been having all kinds of fun with that.

Love that song. It very accurately described a psycho I dated (briefly) in law school.
I still have a CD of “Betty” kicking around here somewheres.
This article from the NYT is a must read.
The same guys who were shouting from the rooftops that grand jury testimony cannot be hidden and must be released unredacted a week ago are now saying that declassifying any information about the Russia investigation is going to get people killed.
No Lie, they really are going there.
And in a triple bout of irony – blind hubris, Nadler is saying that he is going to closely monitor them for any political use of intelligence materials.
You really cannot even parody these idiots
Just as I apparently cannot be trusted with a link.

“Traditionally, the C.I.A. has been effective at intramural governmental fights, in large measure because its power comes from its information and its closely guarded secrets. By taking that power from the intelligence agencies, Mr. Trump and Mr. Barr may have weakened the C.I.A.”
The Deep State Dies In Lightness.
BTW Cyto, thanks for linking that and eliminating the last a shred of hope that bloodshed won’t be the end stage.
If you want to see what the New York Times and the rest of them want to keep secret, check here.
There’s concrete evidence of political surveillance by the Obama administration since at least 2012. A lot can be deducted from the heavily redacted version of the 99-page FISC opinion written by Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26th, 2017: 85% of FISA searches didn’t comply with the law/regulations. They were carried out by FBI contractors. Raw FISA information was disclosed to various parties.
“Presumably this would include the recently revealed State Dept Kavalac email; and the FBI transcripts from wiretaps of George Papadopoulos (also listed in Carter Page FISA).”
Said it before, but those Papadop transcripts would be gold. May not be a smoking gun for malfeasance, but I’d bet they’d be a smoking gun for cringy deep state incompetence. Either way, Trump has to release them.
So many things wrong in such a small small space.
“Trump is an alien from the planet Racist 6. He eats children and shits CO2.” The New York Times immediately paypals $1000.
Hell, I can get $1,000 per crappy new story? I’m in the wrong line of work then.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now that is funny.

It’s mildly depressing that I’ll likely never see anything like that again in my life. I was there only 17 years ago but from what I’ve heard of the propaganda in place since then and other recent events, I’ll never visit again.
I admire this young woman. This took guts.

Nice! Reminds me of this young lady – https://youtu.be/gYCSRymney0
I can’t tell whether she’s real or Canadian.
Ontarian, a specialized subspecies. That’s where all of the jokes referring to “oot and aboot” mestasized. Sure is cute, though. She got in deep shit for showing a Peterson video as an adjunct.
CPRM, imagine what you could do with this.

Wow. The age of hoax video is upon us.
So video is no longer admissible as evidence of anything. *shrug*
I think in the foreseeable future it’s going to be an issue. My guess is states will require more authentication than they do now to make it admissible.
Shouldn’t be long now before we have video proof of UFOs and aliens
We’ve had video proof for decades.
Forgot the link.

Now I want to pop in a Space:1999 DVD.
The same YT channel has Space 1999 too. I just finished UFO. Space 1999 is next. I’m reliving my childhood. Both shows are from the same creative team (in case you didn’t know.)
Yep, I recently finished both seasons of 1999. Pro-tip: you can kind of skip S02.
I love that show (u-foe)
R, I have a vague memory of it taking an odd turn in S2. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, it will probably be new to me.
GL, #MeToo.
UFO was before my time (?). Never heard of it before doing some research on 1999.
1999 S01 was slow and cerebral.
S02, they actioned it up, to the point where Landau complained it was shit. And it was.
Interesting how after everyone started carrying around a video camera in their pocket that the alien sightings diminished rapidly. The aliens must be onto it.
If they are smart enough for intergalactic travel then they are smart enough to stay out of camera view.
SPACE SMITH SAY NOTHING!
A recent SF/Thriller book I liked has a major plot-point that revolves around faked video. It’s crazy that that’s almost real now.
Yup. Imagine the conspiracy theories that will blossom around historical vents for which there is video. The ones with exist conspiracy theories will only get worse.
“Wag the Dog” came out a long time ago…
That’s just creepy as fuck.
No one needs a gun. Just call the police if you need help.

““I seriously still can’t believe that this happened. And I heard this morning the helicopters roaring around and I thought it was a little but weird. But the fact that you told me it happened so close to here, I mean it’s kind of crazy, feels so country, and it’s pretty much the reason we moved here,” she said”
News choppers or police choppers? If cop choppers, *SMDH*. Can’t help the lady in time, so let’s do the next best thing and waste a bunch of money after the fact.
TEXAS STRONG!
Can’t tell if you are joking. I admire that woman. She did everything possible to avoid a confrontation. Thank goodness she was armed.
He means the choppers deployed to… make a presence.
“But helochopters are cool!” he explained while fumbling to strap on ballistic armor sized for a much less corpulent man.
I thought cop gear comes in cop sizing. Civilian XXL = Cop medium.
Up here the cops used to some of the biggest, baddest motherfuckers that you would ever cross paths with. Now it’s fatties, clerks and waifs. I got pulled over some years ago and that lady no shit didn’t come up to the top of my sternum and I’m not quite 6 foot tall. Real intimidating.
@Festus:
I’m sure it has to do with the “disparate impact” of physical standards on wahmen.
It’s one of the things that pisses me off the most about this equal outcome bullshit – they’ve lowered standards for police, fire departments, and military units, and peoples’ lives are literally on the line because Lefties want to make these things more “inclusive”.
Of course! That’s why there are more lethal interactions with police. Back in ye olde goode thymes the cops would just rough you up for acting the foole. Now they’re liable to taser or shoot you to death because they have become incapable of physically restraining a small dog.
I admire her. I don’t admire swooping helicopters.
Got it.
Not exactly the Dukes of Hazzard.

“Investigation is ongoing and the identities of those who died are currently not revealed, pending notification to next of kin.”
Wait, you named them in the first paragraph.
Are you trying to ruin the surprise?
Oh sweet schadenfreude

I detect a severe absence of Sir Digby. Is that slacker taking the night off?
You can enjoy any of his adventures at your leisure.
No wonder he isn’t here.
He’s busy with his side-gig, being a naked intruder. He’ll be back once his Step-Dad makes good on the bail.
I had no idea he was so busy. I’m glad he finds time to squeeze us in.
Maybe his Mom should unplug that faptraption so he’ll leave the basement and get a real job.
He was in earlier today and mentioned he got time off for good behavior so is on a different sleep pattern.
sleep pattern : drunk tank
32C today and the mini skirts are out. Even the trannies standing next to me on the train were rockin’ one.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oq_nQeeMCUY
I could of lived without that.
Not a fan of obese chicks, eh?
I prefer fit wominz. Hey, where’s Q?
32C?? That’s like 120, right?
Jarry: wood
Azadeh: wood
All the rest: woodn’t
May weather brings out the lovelies. On my way to work the other eve I must have whip-lashed my neck a half dozen times. Yoga class getting out, random coed walking down the street, crowd in front the brew pub. And then I felt the old.
I… I don’t have the words…

What they say is to call 911, I believe it’s best to call 357 (paraphrased)

How have I never heard this before? Fifteen beers in, that was fucking awesome!
Goddamn lightweights. It’s Friday night. This is why I mostly lurk. By the time I get home everyone’s given up so if I want to interact I have to stay up until 5 AM local just to get a few digs in. Of course commenting and beer will take me to 7 AM which means that I crawl out of bed sometime after Noon. Not copacetic for meat world.
Sorry. Just finished work and it’s drinking time. Rub one out if you’re ?
Just did. Feeling meh.
They were not the best sperm. Sometimes they send the worst of them, and I realize that some of them are good sperm but we have to control this.
I like this old, British poofter, he speaks truth to power – https://youtu.be/-Uz19w7tf1U
