NOT GOOD ADVICE
HERE BETTER ADVICE:
Q. I have a dear friend with whom I enjoy socializing at luncheons and dinners, and we sometimes travel together. She is blessed with a handsome income, and enjoys shopping.
I spent 20-plus years as a single mother, with a decent income but rarely money to burn. My child is now on his own with a good career. I continue to be frugal, but never “cheap.”
My friend insists I join her in shopping at high-end stores where I feel extremely uncomfortable. She has the means and desire to buy $5,000 purses (she has several) and $700 shoes, but even though I’ve enjoyed a healthy six-figure income the last several years, I still see no sense in spending that kind of money on a functional item.
So while she shops to impress, I sit with my $29.99 sale purse and $80 shoes, feeling like the proverbial fish out of water. I feel very embarrassed. If I opt out of any store, she is visibly upset.
How do I politely tell her I am not interested in what the new “It” spring bag looks like? (I frankly think they’re ugly, and really don’t get why anyone would spend $3,500 on a bag made of coated fabric and not leather.)
This issue has escalated. Whereas she used to enjoy a bargain as I did, now she only wants to steer us into the stores of the rich and famous. And yes, I do think she’s showing off, but her actions are only making me sour on the friendship.
A. SEA SMITH DISAPPOINT. WHY YOU NOT HIT OVER HEAD AND TAKE ALL MUNNIES? WAIT, BETTER IDEA! TELL “FRIEND” WANT GO BEACH – VERY FANCY BEACH. SEA SMITH WAIT, GREET FRIEND. BY GREET, MEAN RAPE AND TAKE ALL MUNNIES. THEN HER HAVE SHOP CHEAP STORES. AND SEA SMITH HAVE MUNNIES TO BUY NEW IPHONE!
SEA SMITH NOT REALLY APPLE TYPE CRYPTID. BUT HE LIKE CAMERA. AND WATERPROOF, HE HEAR!
Q. I received an invitation to a party that I’m pretty sure I wasn’t expected to attend. We are not close, and I live several states away.
I did send my regrets, and a congratulatory email. The only reason I hesitate to send a card is because people seem to expect a gift card/cash/check to accompany a card.
This may sound like a bizarre question, but do people appreciate a card without a monetary gift? I feel like some people would say no. What are your thoughts?
A. WHYCOME SEA SMITH MUST GIVE SAME ADVICE? MAYBE DO DIFFERENT THIS TIME… YES, HE GET IDEA. TELL PARTY PERSON, YOU COME IN SEA MONSTER COSTUME. SEA SMITH GO PARTY AND ENJOY. BY ENJOY, MEAN RAPE HOST AND GUESTS, AND TAKE ALL MUNNIES.
ADVICE IS FUN!
COME ON IN, WATER IS FINE!
It’s monkeys all the way down tonight. ?
I thought it was…. never mind.
This may sound like a bizarre question, but do people appreciate a card without a monetary gift? I feel like some people would say no. What are your thoughts?
I’m sure SP would have something to say about this.
Adult people appreciate the card. Adolescents and children want the money. Some adolescents are old.
She was just being polite by sending the invitation, be just as polite by sending her a congratulatory card.

I’m obviously a shitlord for assuming her gender identity.
Tasteful lighting is important.
As is grooming.
Pubic pigtails, or a french twist are always welcome.
Lack of distracting background clutter.
I thought the traditional thing was to send a condom in return to the card to weddings you can’t attend.
(if you don’t like them you can even poke holes in it with a needle)
If you don’t like them why would you want them to be fruitful and multiply?

Rock Island Auction has updated their list of the 15 most expensive guns sold at Rock Island Auction.
Interesting that they are all early Winchesters or Colt percussion revolvers. Some freaking rare examples of engraved firearms – some with bills of sale from Samuel Colt himself.
Something tells me you two aren’t as close as you think you are.

Nothing in that was mocking the guy with no legs. That guy took the lemons life gave him and made lemonade. Then he took that lemonade and turned it into a huge can of lemon flavored whoop ass and opened it all on his enemy.

LH and Elspeth left (well Elspeth is an assumption) angry about HM’s RHEEE post. Then while that drama was unfolding (all of us clucking over it, not really drama because LH posted and left) Soyboy began talking about suicide. Post counts were inflated, drama was had.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I clicked that article, made some assumptions about what it was, and found something else to do with my evening. Looked like cancer from the first click.
Yeah? You’re cancer. And not even breast cancer, like Q.
Of course I’m cancer. Isn’t it obvious that my trash can is a medical waste disposal bin and I was resected from Pat Buchanan’s ass sometime shortly after 9/11?
Low blow.
SRT is not bad.
I thought about pouring myself another Maß worth of Oktoberfestbier. I thought I had bought some Stickman General Merriment when I was last in Pennsylvania, but I incorrectly remembered what I bought. I bought other beer and not the General Merriment. Oops.
Sly fox has a great selection of beers. Plush the funky pull top cans.
Plus not plush
^Lush.
I’m drinking a Yards pale Ale. Great session beer with good hops flavor without the bitterness.
I like their Brawler.
Another of my favorites. Great easy drinking quality beer.
I need to try that one when I’m out there in a couple months. Sly Fox has released a cycling jersey with that beer as the focus, and I’m looking to pick up a new jersey come spring.
Are you going to Philly or other locations in PA?
I’ll be in Philly the first weekend of December for a board game convention (PAX Unplugged).
They make good stuff. Sly Fox donates a portion of SRT sales to help maintain the Schuylkill River Trail.
I like their Bockfest.
I have only been to their Pottstown location because it’s near where I grew up, and I didn’t discover them until they moved into their current location. They used to be in Phoenixville. They have a pub there but I haven’t been to it.
I think a Philly area meet-up is called for when you are in town. If my health problems clear up by then (hopefully!), I’ll trek on down from New England. Maybe I’ll stick around until Christmas since it is close enough.
I’ve been to all of Sly Fox’s locations (that I was aware of, even the one they closed), they were the ones who convinced me to not fear the cans (with the Royal Weiss). I just feel strange wearing a specific beer jersey if I’ve never had the beer before (same as I don’t wear a jersey for a brewery I haven’t been to). Fat Head’s does a similar thing with their Trail Head Pale (the head brewer is an avid cyclist).
It’d be good to see you again.
The first time I went to the Pottstown location, a friend of mine went with. He forgot I grew up in the area. He was giving me a tour pointing out all the abandoned warehouses and buildings on the way. At that time, Sly Fox was the only business operating in the industrial park it was in. I reminded my friend that I grew up in the area and that I know everything is dead there. He looked at me funny.
That was right around when the Pottstown location opened.
They just opened a location out by Reading.
It’d be good to see you too.
One of the times I was out there, a local (who knew we liked craft beer) suggested we head out to a place called Prism Brewing (since closed). The drive out there was… interesting. It looks like another brewery has moved into the old facility:
McAllister Brewing Company
810 Dickerson Rd, North Wales, PA 19454
Have you been out to Tired Hands brewing?
I don’t know McAllister Brewing, but I have some relatives that live not far from it.
I’ve been to Tired Hands once. It’s a pain to get to from where I usually stay. Parking is limited. Trust fund hipsters (it’s Ardmore, Main Line, very different from where I grew up). However, the beer is good.
This is a good food truck. He stops at some area breweries. I see he has some dates lined up at Free Will in Perkasie. I’ve been to Free Will in Perkasie, and it is good.
You should go to FWOT.
This place?

/and I oop
This may be vaguely on topic. I’m particularly interested in what lady Glibs have to say.
Last night my wife came home from having dinner with a small group of friends including one going through a divorce. I know her friend a little bit from having seen her at different events with our kids and the occasional chance meeting around town. My wife has done all sorts of social stuff with divorcing friend but we never did anything as a couple while divorcing friend was married.
Wife tells me divorcing friend is dating another guy who is a loser. In the past I’ve heard he is a good guy but divorcing friend was drunk last night and told wife a lot of stuff about him. Divorcing friend wants all her friends and their spouses to meet new boyfriend. Other friend who was there tells says her husband knows boyfriend from work and they don’t get along. Wife says to me (at home, divorcing friend is not around) we are invited to his place for BBQ so she supposes we’re going. My response was she can go alone. I don’t want to get dragged into this mess. Wife first seemed surprised I wasn’t interested then a little hurt I don’t want to go.
WTF am I missing?
This is her friend, not our friend. I don’t know this guy and wife is running him down so I don’t get why meeting him is such an attractive prospect. Wife knows I am doG damn busy. I have regular commitments with kid and dog on the weekend so what little free time I have is precious.
I know what ZARDOZ would do and I know how the Smith family would handle the situation. What I’m interested in knowing is why wife thinks I have some reason to become involved.
Wife wants backup for her, not involvement.
Sounds about right. He should go with.
^^^^ Correct answer. Go.
Mo I don’t get. She can decline if she doesn’t want to go.
Yep.
You’re missing the fact that you’re dealing with women?
/This is why there are no libertarian women….
I know enough to know I know nothing. That’s why I’m asking the question.
You’re an intelligent, degreed professional and can…….wait, “BBQ”??
Kinda not your scene, right? Is that an angle of attack?
No. Wife knows I’ll gladly go to a BBQ with my own veggie burgers and tell the host to cook them. I don’t care dead cow flesh was just on the grill. Cook my damn veggie burgers. I’m hungry and my beer is lonely.
When is this supposed to be happening?
I’ll make it happen when you touch down in SD.
I meant HIS BBQ. I was going to see if I could make arrangements, but, one doesn’t typically plan BBQs that far in advance.
But, duly noted nonetheless.
Dammit, the first couple sentences sounded like it was gonna be a threesome story.
No such thing.
My opinion. If you don’t want to go, don’t go.
Based on the story, I wouldn’t go. She can go hang with her girlfriend whenever she wants.
You had free time and the wife found the worst way to waste it for you. They’re good at that. I wouldn’t go.
You are speaking my language. Let me know when you are stateside and I’ll buy you a drink.
You’re the excuse for bailing early, in case it’s a shit show.
And this dude is obviously a rebound. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
As the rebound?
Both sides of the equation.
Both things that Spud said. Divorcing [the astute among us note the “-ing” suffix, rather than the “-ed” suffix] friend is being chick-weird to insist all her friends and their spouses [if all friends have spouses, that’s feeding into her weirdness] meet New Boyfriend – after she’s told your wife enough about him to convince your wife that NB is a loser. Wife is being chick-weird to act as if you not going is an affront. [She’s afraid she’ll be only chick there w/o her man?]
I’d resent going, too. Unfortunately, you may pay dearly if you don’t go. If I were you, I’d insist that Wife is designated driver on the way home so that you can drink your fill. With any luck, the sooner you get drunk, the sooner she can bring you home. And if babysitting is required, she pays.
And that’s why they call me Gender Traitor.
I like the cut of your jib.
I predict she would hold that against him as worse than not going.
LOL.
Chafed, does your wife actually WANT to go or is she feeling pressured to go, too?
*I*, being a female (checks to make sure), would not want to go to this thing, but I would go. I would want Mr. Mojeaux to go so I would have someone to talk to for 30 minutes until it was polite to leave.
This is assuming I have any gal pals, which I don’t. It also assumes that I would hang out with a bunch of gals on the regular, which I wouldn’t. It also assumes that I don’t mind such parties, which I do. Bigly.
I think wife believes she is supporting divorcing friend by going.
Thanks for the explanation Mo. That makes sense and I’ll bet is what wife is thinking.
I noticed that as well and wanted to comment on the ing v ed problem, but I didn’t want to look like a prude. I’m glad someone called it out. Whether the marriage is effectively over or not, that ing would be a “Nope” sign for me.
Prude!
/was thinking the same thing
Seriously, what a shitty look it is for both of them, especially her.
I think the friend also wants to legitimize her dating before being actually divorced in front of her friends. So, as a husband who has been on both sides of this type of thing, I’ll say this. On the one hand, I deeply, deeply resent people flippantly making bad decisions in the assumption that I’ll be there to unfuck their choices. That’s something that really, really pisses me off, and I have made decisions accordingly that have cost me in the short term. However, sometimes those decisions provided the out that the wife was looking for. IOW, I do a real good bad cop.
On the other hand, your wife wants you to back her play and support her.
But–and maybe this is the booze talking, so take this with a grain of salt–that shit goes both ways, and you’re grown-ass adults, and she can damn well go see her friend without you being there. Like you say, you’ve got very little free time and a fair bit is answered for with kid and dog. You need time to decompress. Her associating with fuckups is her choice.
Believe it or not I’ve been married for ten years and we’ve got another kid on the way, so while I’m not a lady Glib I do have some experience with this sort of thing.
You are wiser than me NB. I’m married 20 years and this sort of stuff is still a mystery to me.
Taking care of all of the needs of all of the women in a man’s life is challenging enough. Taking care of their girlfriends needs? Fuck that. This is a BBQ not a wedding. The entire purpose is for her girlfriend to get feedback on the new beau. Her problem. Not Chafed’s problem nor his wife’s for that matter. He supposed to waste his time and go and and play fake nice with a guy his wife told him was an asshole? Homey don’t play dat. As far far as paying dearly for defying the great and powerful Oz?.Homey don’t play dat either.
Amen. Also, reciprocity. When’s the last time Chafed told his wife they had to go to his separated boy’s house because his new girlfriend was coming over and she felt awkward? I’m a firm believer in the idea that a marriage is a 50/50 partnership, not a company with two job titles. Your wife doesn’t get to pull shit like this because “happy wife, happy life” or some stupid shit like that unless she’s staying at home barefoot making sure you’re coming home to an immaculate house with a medium rare steak every night.
I didn’t get the feeling Chafed’s wife was going to punish him for not going. He said she said she supposed they were going (tells me she doesn’t want to, either and thinks it’s a bad idea), and that she was at first surprised, then a little hurt.
I don’t understand why this is getting blown up into ShE’s GoNnA mAkE hIm PaY if he doesn’t go.
Chafed could also talk HER out of going. “Look, honey, I don’t think you’re really cracked about this, and it’s just a bad idea. Lie your ass off. Stay home.”
Yeah, I’ve been married 30 years as of 4 days ago. I know there are couples that are joined at the hip, where one goes, so must the other. No thank you. I don’t need someone up my asshole, nor do I want to be up someone else’s (literally or figuratively) She wants to go? Have a great time honey btw me and the boys are going out tomorrow night for the game, don’t wait up!
“I didn’t get the feeling Chafed’s wife was going to punish him for not going.”
I don’t either. I think that was more a response to what GT had said about him possibly paying dearly though.
I was getting the read that she’d be upset if he didn’t go, like there’s a guilt trip aspect. What you’re suggesting is the right approach, really. I’ve definitely been in situations where I’ve volunteered to be the reason we “can’t” go to something, but typically Mme. Naptown is an excellent judge of both character and impending unpleasant drama and will generally avoid both given the choice.
This is where I’m coming from:
I’m anti-social. If I MUST go to something, I’ll go, but most of the time I nope.
My husband is very social and he understands that sometimes I’m not going to go to things because I’m having an extra special anti-people moment.
Now, my husband has always had lots and lots of problems making friends. I don’t know why. He’s super nice. He wants friends. I have no problems making friends at all. I don’t want them.
Within the last year, he’s made a dude bro pal, and I am ecstatic for him. I do not care what he and his dude bro pal go and do. I’m probably not interested, and he’d have more fun with DBP anyway.
BUT.
And this is a big but.
DBP’s wife (who is more anti-social than I am) is very in control of what DBP can and cannot do. My husband’s like, “Hey, DBP and I are going to go to X.” I’m all, “Okay, fine.”
DBP’s wife, though… Well. I guess it works for them.
But if I felt pressured to go to a gal pal’s intro-to-asshole party and decided to go, Mr. Mojeaux would go with me if I needed him to.
Oh NB that would be nice but…. I don’t think I’ll catch hell for not going. I’ll probably get a mild guilt trip.
Have you started your own church? I’d like to join.
I had to scroll up with my finger pointing to where your avatar had been, but I THINK you were replying to my comment…?
As the Goddess, it would probably be unseemly to start my own church. It would be better if someone would start it on my behalf. If you care to do so, you get dibs on the High Priest gig, with all the corresponding duties and privileges.
*Sets aside yamaka. Eyes hot chicks in the audience.*

Oh, well THAT’S nice to wake up to! : ) ::wishes she could insert emojis::
FFS. All these responses and no one asked if the friend is hot?
I think the crazy went off the charts immediately, so there was no need to check the hot ratio.
I don’t think you understand the Hot Crazy Matrix. The upper limit of crazy is still inside the curve of “would” it just requires a high degree of hot. If squeaky Fromme looked like Phoebe Cates in Ridgemont High, we would all be holding her knife.
*backs away slowly*
Really? All this time here, and that’s the line?
Dude, y’all hold the knife of a murderous crazywoman because she’s hot? Thinking with the wrong head, there.
I’m not sure the knife is even a minus. River Tam at the end of Serenity was pretty hot…
Ok, question for the hetero male Glibs. Especially those who hit puberty around or before 1982. Would even if she was a convicted killer?
Yes. *hangs head in shame*
Can I avoid providing real contact information?
You can try…
Nope. I wouldn’t be able to get it up. I would be wondering if she was going to knife me in the chest during afterglow.
I would even if she said said she was going to murder me next.
From Cuntes & Cods (all acknowledgments will include Glibs):
“How many times did I tell you not to stick your cod in madwomen? How many times did I tell you that no matter how beautiful a woman is, someone, somewhere, is tired of her nonsense? How many times did I warn you away from her? But nooo,” he mocked. “You were in loooove.”
Cuntes & Cods sounds like it could be a GWAR album
You know men Mo.
I had to figure out the medieval version of “don’t stick it in the crazy.”
@Moje – likewise “sick of her shit.”
EXACTLY!!!
I don’t even think “nonsense” is period appropriate, but it was the best I could do.

Three kids baptized at Oktoberfest
A moment of pause in the hustle and bustle of the Oktoberfest: hundreds of locals and official guests came together in the Marstall festival tent to celebrate the traditional ecumenical Oktoberfest service together. Before the public mass, three children from showmen and host families were baptized…

(Choose your sex.)
He probably deserves some mockery, but shrinks seducing their obviously immature patients is way up there on the ethical failure list.
Oh, I agree. And I’d say it’s not just immature patients that shrinks shouldn’t sleep with.
Definitely, it is hard to imagine a circumstance where a shrink could possibly fulfill their responsibilities as a shrink and sex up a patient. It is an ethical violation for pretty much all professions, but for shrinks it isn’t just avoiding conflict/appearance f impropriety. It simply can’t work ever. But his immaturity makes it more egregious.

Fight me.
Mr. Mojeaux is bitter about him floofing off the Chiefs as if his time here were nothing.
I don’t give him too much crap over it. After Trent Green got knocked out the quarterbacks and declining offensive talent around him was painful to watch. I imagine it must have been a miserable experience as a team member who wanted to at least win a playoff game before they retired. And I don’t really remember him complaining about the team. He shut up, did his job and found better employment elsewhere when he could. Either way, Canton enshrined him as a Chief.
I’m not sure if that came off as aggressive. I’ve been arguing all day, I’m a little tipsy, doing multiple things at once and have been told I can seem curt at times like this.

Or I could just be too self-conscious.
You’re fine. It’s just football. LOL
Thought so, just checking.
…or NFL Championship, you get the gist.

Fran Tarkenton.
Scramblin’ Fran! My man!
Aaaaahhhh, I don’t know. Granted, he did manage to take the Vikings to 4 SBs? 3? I think 4. And yeah, he was the precursor to the modern mobile quarterback who can throw well and run an offense but(everything before but is bullshit! ;p) he did lose all those games with the Purple People Eaters for his defense. That has to account for something.
I can’t think of a time off the top of my head that Larry Fitz didn’t step up and play st an elite level in a big playoff game or playoff deciding regular season game no matter if they won or lost. The dude is f-ing clutch.
Watched all those games as a kid. In clutch games, especially the SBs, only two players showed up on every play; Fran and Sammy White. The defense would shit the bed at times, the O line would collapse, but those two guys never gave up on a single down.
In case you forgot how tough Sammy was:

Damn.
Ouch
Jack Tatum. The guy’s career is one long Live wire video.
Fair enough. That a few years before my time and I’ve never watched any full game footage from that far back. The first thing about the NFL embedded into my brain as a child was to hate John Elway. He is a crusher of dreams, destroyer of hope, and an insanely talented horse-faced fuck.
It’s funny. Despite growing up in a very THE BIBLE IS THE LITERAL WORD OF GOD Evangelical household I abandoned religion over a decade ago…yet I still irrationally hate John Elway. Don’t tell me indoctrination doesn’t work!
Trigger Hippie, I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Growing up in Cleveland, there are certain hatreds that have grown with most people here. New York Yankees, Denver Broncos, and the Baltimore Ravens. The younger generation has apparently given up on the hatred of the Steelers (with some even wearing the black and gold, the fact the Browns have a better record then them right now is glorious).
The Drive. The Fumble. Siperbowl.
muahahahaha
<Cincinnati fan who has to rub Cleveland's misery in.
*waits patiently for comments about Billups' dropped INT and 34 seconds left.
Yeah, if any other fanbase can claim a legitimate reason to hate Elway more than the Chiefs it’s the Browns. Then again, he didn’t pee in your Sunday Wheaties at least twice a season for fifteen years. 😉
Jarflax: Red Right 88. Use the proper terms for things.
The fscking White Sox and the Nationals have pretty much ended all hopes for the Indians making it to the post season, so now we just have…
So, at least we have a lot of good breweries.
Hated Elway for some reason. Probably from living in Denver and not being a Bronco fan. Hated Atwater more.
No argument here. Both are class acts.
…yeah, can’t argue that one. He’s a thousand years old in WR years and he’s still an unbelievable athlete. And a stand-up guy by all accounts as well.

I see you are a man of culture as well.
Smith’s institutes a separate checkout counter for alcohol purchases. Doesn’t hire on more clerks to cover that shift, so often the person behind the customer service counter has to pick up both jobs. The security guard used to stand at the entrance to stop runners, but now mostly has to redirect impatient shoppers when the booze line gets too long. Can no longer cover the other entrance, or anywhere else in the store. So Smith’s hired another security guard. Everyone is stressed, impatient, or pissed off.
I can’t see how this is more cost effective than the old arrangement.
Do they have under age cashiers? If your State has the same idiotic crap a lot do where you have to be a certain age to ring up alcohol they may have gotten fined and instituted this to avoid ABC stings and multi thousand dollar fines.
My God that is fucking stupid.
“Alcohol has cooties! Ew!”
HEY! If a 17 year old drags that 12 pack over the scanner and tells you the total while you swipe your card, they have served alcohol just like a topless waitress in a strip joint! It’s practically identical to a 17 year old giving lap dances!
So instead the 18 year old from the next register over has to come over and wave it over the bar code reader. That makes it better.
It’s here. Had that happen about 6 months ago at an Asian market. Manager had to come over and ring up the bottle. Can’t remember if they had to take care of the payment too or the cashier took over again.
My state has the same thing. 18 I think.
It wouldn’t surprise me. The Smith’s near where I used to live had their liquor department chained off a couple times due to stings. But no, I think they think they’re saving money from thefts. Other locations are locking up spirits. You have to buzz for help to get a bottle out, which they carry off and tell you which aisle to check out from.
I worked at a grocery store graves, Fri & Sat for a while. They had to have a 21+ somebody who could ring up liquor.
NY has some stupidity around liquor laws but that is not one of them. I rang up lots of beer when I was an “underage” cashier. (One of the stupidities we have is grocery stores can’t sell liquor – only beer.)
We have both. Non beer/wine liquor is sold at state franchised liquor stores only. So fucking stupid. And less likely to change after WA torpedoed grocery store sales by imposing a huge tax increase. Idiots are equating “privatization” with higher prices.
In Penna. supermarkets now can sell beer and wine if they have a restaurant license. But counter in the market is not only separate but they are required to I.D. everyone, even the bald old granpa with a walker
Stupid question: WTF?
Can’t rape where you drink?
Oh, oh, oh, that’s not even the worst part. They have a separate checkout at makeup and toiletries, too. Want toothpaste or lip gloss? Gotta buy it separate.
(This checkout, too, is rarely manned. I just walk through now, like I did tonight. WTF? I’m in here two, three times a week. I spend a couple hundred bucks a month on food and necessities and alcohol. I know all y’all by sight. Go on, stop me if you think I’m going to pull a runner with a bottle of Sobieski or a tube of Colgate.)
Those 16-year-olds are smart enough to vote and get an abortion, but how dare you let them ring up alcohol.
“Letard”. Is that Macron’s nickname?
It ended in “‘tard”. That’s all that matters here.

Checking out for the night. I got an appointment tomorrow morning.
‘night folks!
Good night good sir!
Night!
One of the cats is begging pitifully to be let in, but he has an adolescent rabbit hanging from his mouth. Nope, you stay outside!
Good boy!
My cat scored her first lizard kill this week. She was proud.
Cats are the awesomest animals evar.
^^^THIS!!! WHAT SHE SAID!!! (I miss our kitteh and I want another! ***WHIMPER***)
I haven’t been without a cat for over 20 years, except for a few weeks between cat death and getting another cat.
I always think about my old cats, “I can never get another,” and then the next week, we get another pair (we always get them in pairs) because I cannot STAND being alone in the house without another “soul.” I may never see the cat all day long, but I know s/he’s there somewhere in the house.
The house without a cat is just hollow.
I honestly don’t know if I want more after my current pair are gone.
Maybe one. A decade+ of constant fighting has kind of soured me on the idea of getting a pair again.
Yup. George Kitteh Chatterbox Underfoot [insert GT’s real surname here] died suddenly in early June. I was hoping we could adopt after returning from our big vacation trip last month, but Mr. GT says he’s not ready. (George was Daddy’s widdle man.) I told him I want another kitteh for my mid-November birthday because Mr. GT is retired and often home alone all day. I don’t want him getting depressed when winter sets in and he has no critter for company.
We get littermates.
@GT, really you need to get another. Get 2, littermates. It’s awesome. They do fight sometimes, but it’s play fighting. Also, they zoom around the house sometimes, which I find cute. “Zoom zoom time.”
My cat (Princess, because the Vet’s insist you give them a name, but naming cats is stupid, they come or not as the choose, and some sound you claim is there name means less than psstpsst or the sound of a can opener) dies this past Summer at a couple months shy of 19. She was born in my bed, with me present (and let me tell you that some stains cannot be cleaned from a matress) and when I took her to give her away at 8 weeks, she crawled up the sleeve of my coat and cowered against me, so I kept her. She hated everyone except me, would bite even me to the bone if she wanted the petting to stop, and was never more than 7 lbs.
I think she had a big dollop of desert cat genes, but her coloration was a tortoise shell, with very light almost silver grey dominant and almost no red/brown. She was the most graceful and agile cat I have ever had. She could jump from the floor to a clothes rod in a closet with no scrambling, and land walking the 1 inch diameter rod. As a young cat/kitten she rode around in the hood of my sweat shirt, curled up purring at my neck. When I lived in the ghetto during law school she would leave me mouse faces, neatly transected mid skull (I guess mousebrains are tasty) on my pillow.
I miss her. The new cat (not my decision) is friendly and bland and pisses on things.
Oh crap that is an illiterate mass of typos. I must be more tired than I thought.
George would do that all by himself, usually late in the evening, around the time one or both of us hoomans were getting ready for bed. We called it “Batshit Kitty Time.”
Two cats might be a tough sell. My sister and BIL – who took in, neutered, & socialized George before we brought him home – took in another stray in July. Poor thing was starving, with lots of its long fur missing. They asked me if we might want to adopt him once he healed up, but he has light beige-ish fur (which would better match our carpet, frankly) and Mr. GT has his heart set on another black cat.
Mine were supposedly “sisters” according to the adoption folks. They look nothing alike.
PS. That picture is more than 12 years old and they haven’t done anything like that in a decade or so.
Now it’s all hissing and spitting.
Our vet thinks our cats have different fathers. Same litter, different fathers. Blows my mind.
One’s pure black. The other is a long-haired tortie (with a clipped tail–dunno how that happened).
It SEEMS like it would be (here I go evangelizing), but we have found that they are easier to socialize when there are two of them and they can curl up with each other.
Wait…I thought you were on Team Lizard. Or, were…a few weeks ago.
He’s front declawed, too, so he had to work extra hard for it. Usually he sticks to reptiles, moles, and bugs. The other (alpha) tabby routinely picks off adult squirrels on the run.
I had a cat I’d hand-raised from a newborn. I had made the awful decision to declaw front and back (never again). But hand-raised cats are mean as sin. They’re just flat demonic. I was the only one who could handle her without getting bitten to hell and back again.
Anyway, she was sitting out on my deck one day. A bird decided to tease her. Oh, no. No, no, no, bird. Bad decision. My cat took a flying leap off that deck, caught the bird mid-air and the bird was dead by the time they both hit the ground.
Good girl.
Yikes, declawed cats can’t defend themselves. I would keep him inside.
Mojeaux makes them sound like hell on paws.
Hand-raised ones are a special kind of hell. The vet behaviorist told me it is known that they are not placeable at all. The problem is that the mom cat was not there to smack them around and teach them how to behave.
My friend went to Europe for six months and asked me to take care of her cat. I’ll assume it was hand raised because this thing was evil and not declawed. No way I’m telling you how I did it, but that cat and I came to an “understanding” after a few weeks.
Thank God we’re different. No poor affect from having a missing parent. Like bottled civilization at birth.
I raised a kitten when I was 12,she was never like that.
Declawing was a mistake, but he wouldn’t put up with being cooped up inside, claws or no.
It’s not optimal, but sometimes it’s the best of a bad situation type thing. The cat I mentioned below was declawed because he was routinely kicking the shit out of the other two cats in the house who he had probably seven pounds on.
That’s illegal here now.
No declawing.
Careful with declawing. A friend’s Maine coon got bacterial infections in his front paws from cat litter getting caught in the nail sheathes that turned into blood poisoning.
What’s the rabbit got to say about it? Or is he past the point of concern, so to speak?
I thought I heard the distress call earlier, but I have the baby monitor close and wrote it off as dreaming noises from the toddler. By the time I figured out what happened, it was out. Now hes enjoying the meal.
I have heard rabbit’s death scream. If you had heard that and thought it was coming from the baby monitor you’d have broken your neck getting to the baby. It’s a horrible sound
One of my dogs cleared out a family of baby bunnies under the shed and brought them to the back porch. Glass storm door, smeared with blood, and an 80 pound pit bull sitting there with a big shit-eating grin with a piece of rabbit hanging off the end that he’d been using to bump the door with to get someone to open it. My wife was home at the time and called me in a panic asking me what to do. I said, “Well, I mean, I guess you could hose the door off if you feel like it.”
You are rejecting his tribute. That is so cruel.
If it’s like our cat was, part or all of it will be left on the stoop.
Dad’s been feeding a stray cat. Now he wakes up to this. Reticent little fuck, but punctual.
Arguably, all cats are stray cats, or none are. I’ve had indoor cats for 20 years, and the surviving cat has just now decided that he’s an outside cat sometimes.
In other wildlife news, the other day I got to see one of the most beautiful things ever. A deer missed a jump over a fence, did a half flip, and landed on its head. It was still able to get up and run away.
“Meant to do that”
Fuckers aren’t happy with not getting a vig from tobacco taxes and the bullshit tobacco settlement.

Everyone involved should be loaded into a woodchipper, except the spray of toxic shit coming out of the chute would be a hell of a cleanup job.
Was trying to tell a bunch of squares at work all the vaping hysteria was based on the illegal stuff, but i don’t think they bought it.

Religious zealots are insane. End fossil fuels by 2025? Grab a shovel because the body count would be staggering. Death cults rarely end well.
The good news is any normies that see these protests are going to be driven away. Who would voluntarily associate with those people? The bad news is you can say the same thing about the LP convention…
It’s just a fucking party. Protest larping. Fun ‘n’ games.
A giant slug that represented Portland.
QED.
As with “Keep Portland Weird”, a rip off of other places.
When you do it at a protest it’s courageous and transgressive. Any other time it’s just tasteless and crass.
Giant slug

Thank you, cs!!
Melchette: Moustache, bushy enough?

I see you’ve changed your avatar… I think it’s when they steal the guy’s wristwatch while he’s (unaccountably) napping on a folding chair? I could be wrong. Please, sir, don’t make me figure out where this avatar was taken from.
Shit, I don’t know. I just did a GIS, found this (it IS an excellent shot…), cropped it, and, voila!
You lot have complained enough, and pushed for an actually SDCC return, so, until CPRM completes the project he so kindly agreed to take on, I’ll (probably) stick with this.
Let’s me leer at our mythical women and punctuate all the really trenchant and hilarious comments I so often make.
I was letching at Lana’s ass from one of the early Archer episodes, so. It’s so.. bulbous.
These things are all the same. It doesn’t matter what’s being protested. Oooo ooooo ooo “lets show how clever we can be with our signs and costumes:
I also would like to see zero carbon dioxide output from Portland.
clicked that article, made some assumptions about what it was, and found something else to do with my evening. Looked like cancer from the first click.-
Trashy, you thought my article was cancer? That’s it! I’m out of here!
To be fair, I also think the mole on my scalp is cancer.
You live in a trashcan. It is probably a tick.
2Pac and Biggie didn’t die for this shit.
They died for less.
That’s some deep shit.

Why did you make me watch that? It’s because I said I always click your links and you wanted to drive me away isn’t it?
I’m an educator.
I educate.
I died a little just now. We’re always dying a little, but I think I died a little more listening to that.
How do I politely tell her I am not interested in what the new “It” spring bag looks like? (I frankly think they’re ugly, and really don’t get why anyone would spend $3,500 on a bag made of coated fabric and not leather.)
Any $3500 bag not made from the scrotum of a large animal is over priced trendy bullshit.
What if it is made from matched pygmy shrew skins?
Yeah, well, think about what that large animal is thinking.

Better book than AS.
I consent.
Yikes no accounting for taste.
I am torn between ugly-ass additions (our lovely art gallery here went through one where the addition looks like construction trailers) and property rights.
Why choose?
Philosophically speaking.
“You can’t build that because it’s ugly and it’s going to fuck things up and cost us money.”
OR
“Sure, do what you want. It’s your property.”
It looks like private property so I shrug.
If it was some public landmark I might react differently.
My only real concern is if the addition repelled paying tourists such that it impacted the local economy.
Yeah but it’s easy to resolve: it’s the owner’s right to do it, and our right to mock the ugliness of it. Everyone wins.
^Yep. The fact that the slavers hate it adds a few points in my book.
Heh. Same as here.
Nice neoclassical/baroque/whatever building you got there, Shame if something were to happen to it.
