Well, first football Sunday of the year. Mom will sit with us and look absolutely bemused. We’ll be drinking, so will have a bemused look of our own. Much food, carrying on the tradition begun by Spud and me back in our California days. So I won’t dwell on this because we have to get ready for kickoff.
Old Guy Music takes me back to my Austin days. I saw Dana’s band several times and they were remarkable. Though superficially this is girl-with-guitar, her music is sneaky-intricate and will grow on you with repeated listening. This one starts out slow and simple, then builds layer after layer, with quirky, complex, and delightful rhythms. Brilliant.
Since the first installment was such a smash hit with the author, I am back to entertain myself some more. Almost 300 comments on the last one, about half of which were mine, so, this is a literal no-brainer. If you want in on this, you gotta drop me an email, so I can incorporate your rubbish ideas and claim them for my own share them in an equitable fashion. Let the discussions commence:
I can’t help but think of my fellow glibs when I watch this video. Not only do we get to see just how nice a place can become with enough authoritarianism, but, we also find out some helpful trivia regarding the most interesting room in any house. Also, if you’re looking to be enlightened on a daily basis, maybe check out all the available knowledge on the Today I Found Out channel.
Does everyone around here know the story of (former) officer Tom Coleman? He, of the Swisher Sweets saga, in Tulia, Texas? Whether or not he is/was a racist asshole, he’s definitely a dipshit. That there are plenty of officers gypsy cops just like him around the country may be old news, but, it’s still frightening.
CPRM casually brought up the idea of Subaru Horror Theater being animated, and, suggested that he could do it, if the $ is there. I say, fund that mutha! I’d drop some more coin to see it happen–who’s with me? C’mon; raise your hand…
Autumn is fast approaching–“Fall”, to the lazier among us. I’ve seen lots of love for this particular season here on this very site, which makes me wonder why that is. So, tell me why–what am I missing by not experiencing this time of year in your area? It’s nothing big around here, apart from being able to comfortably wear the new jacket and/or long-sleeve shirts I got during the off-season. That, the State Fair, and Cold & Flu season. *Yes, I know many of you have already given adequate justification for it. I’m just trying to generate some nighttime conversations, dammit!
Speaking of the State Fair of Texas…This is where you go to walk around for a few hours in lovely south Dallas Fair Park, buy over-priced crap, and try the best in deep fried goodness. Be warned, though, that it’s difficult to dethrone the King. Life isn’t complete until you’ve had a Fletcher’s Corny Dog and a Big Red. Rest assured, my non-meat-eating brethren and sistren, that they have a veggie dog, too. And, to be honest…I’m just hoping to get some of you down here and watch you deep-throat a fried wiener.
Still speaking of the State Fair of Texas–If any of you degenerates has plans to visit the Fair, or, wants to, I am nowhere near south Dallas any more (Praise Be!). However, I would be more than honored to be a tour guide/fifth wheel if you require. I can also introduce you to some of the best fajitas in existence.
So I do drop into Twitter now and then just to see how amazingly stupid and horrible people can be. And they never disappoint me. Sloopy gave me a heads up about the ACLU wiping their asses with the Sixth Amendment, and I knew that if they were called on it, the flying monkeys would descend. Which they did. See, due process means that if you’re accused of sexual assault, you can’t be allowed to question your accuser because, you know, you’re presumed to be a rapist. And anyone who thinks that there’s a presumption of innocence and a right to confront your accuser at a hearing held by the State with massive penalties if you lose is a rape apologist. Even worse, Sloopy and Banjos are perverts for posting pics of their happy and confident kids. It really was delicious. You can start here to follow the fun. And here’s the profile pic of the woman who wants to lead the lynch mob.
SugarFree’s first reaction, “Level 8 Librarian.” And fuck, he was absolutely right. Was it the smug smirk? The carefully painted eyebrows? The pasty complexion? The reference to her cats as her “children?” Dunno, but SugarFree is rarely wrong. All she’s missing is the cup of cocoa.
Happy Friday, y’all. Football season starts for real this weekend. My wife is making about 5lbs of my favorite taco recipe, and I have some beer. Life is good.
Are Iowa women the locus of infection, or just eating too many pig ear dog treats?
“We have no faith in Boris Johnson to lead the UK to Brexit” and “we also don’t want to hold new elections until after Brexit”. I love politics.
What kind of corrupt administration would investigate companies who refuse to cooperate with Federal regulators? I’m going to go with “all of them”.
This is a metaphor for the entire game. And that team won!
Did anybody watch that whole football game last night? I don’t mean the first half and then glaze over in boredom for the second, I mean actually make it through the whole thing? Well I tried but failed. That was boring as shit. Trubisky, you should have played during the preseason. You suck. Aaron Rodgers was hardly much better. And it was punctuated by having to hear Chris Collinsworth talk out of his ass the whole time. Well anyway, the season is underway and the Packers won.
You know who else won? The Firstros did…after going down 7-0 in the second inning. They scratched and clawed their way back in and won in the 13th after five hours. Now that was fun to watch. Your other winners were Cincy, Chicago (AL), Detroit, St Louis, Oakland, Miami, Texas, Chicago (NL), Minnesota, Tampa, and Atlanta.
Not sure what you were expecting, kid.
And Serena will play Andreescu in the US Open Finals and probably pound her into the court. Or threaten to do the same to a linesman if she’s losing. Either way, somebody is getting pounded by that Hulk. Also on Saturday, we have a nice slate of college football. Unless you’re a Tennessee Volunteer. Then you’ve got to worry about losing the BYU after that colossally-bad Georgia State (2-10 in the Sun Belt last year) loss last week. Oh well, they can still be Champions At Life.
OK, birthdays today are: French badass Marquis de Lafayette, bootlegger Joseph Kennedy, country legend David Allen Coe, rock legend Roger Waters, actresses Swoozie Kurtz and Jane Curtin, businesswoman Carly Fiorina, comedians Michael Winslow and Jeff Foxworthy, Pippa Middleton and The Office actor Idris Elba.
OK, off we go into…the links!
Say what you want about his politics, but he sure was a snappy dresser.
Robert Mugabe, who I assume the left will liken a lot to Trump today, has finally shuffled off the mortal coil. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Plus, he died a trillionaire! So you know he was good with money. Just goes to show what a socialist can do when he sets his mind to something.
The ACLU continues its slide into the toilet. They’ve never cared about the 2A. And they’ve all but abandoned the 1A lately. I guess they figured they may as well strike the 4A off their list. Won’t be long before they say “a soldier in every home!” What a sad decline.
Thanks for letting us know, I guess. Whoever the fuck you are. Seriously, why do these attention-whores think anybody gives a shit that they’ve decided not to run for President as a third-party candidate? Also, your coffee sucks.
I know I’ll play a birthday artist most days when possible. But I’m boycotting, divesting and sanctioning the one rocker from the list. So we’re gonna do this instead. Hope you enjoy.
Now, go have a great day. And enjoy the full slate of NFL this Sunday. Pace yourselves.
So, big demo coming up a week from today. I accidentally broke a template in M$’s crappy portals app and I have no idea how to undo it. I guess I’ll just show someone else’s site if I have to. I’ll just come in hot on Thursday and wing it.
Wild horses can’t be dragged away (from Dorian). And the rarely seen “square grouper” appears to be washing ashore in Florida due to Hurricane Dorian
Someone linked comments to the story of San Fran calling the NRA a terrorist organization wondering “where are all those good guys with guns” in Texas. Here’s one. Good on ya, ma’am. I think you need a higher capacity purse gun, but 50% hit rate ain’t bad with a snubby.
The US Open is winding down as the path for Serena is laid clear for her to tie Margaret Court’s record. On the Mens side, Nadal cruised into the semifinals. But none of that matters as we are officially entering the NFL season tonight. Meanwhile on the diamonds of America, your winners were: New York (both AL and NL), Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Boston, San Francisco, Kansas City, Arizona, Oakland, and Los Angeles (NL). And with most of the divisional races being locked up, we anxiously watch the chase for best record in each league, best record overall and the wild card races.
This was a fine movie.
If you were born this day, congratulations. You share it with Louis XIV (the Sun King), outlaw (and probably NRA Member according to Dems) Jesse James, baseball player Nap Lajoie, economist Paul Volcker, comedic genius Bob Newhart, baseball player Bill Mazeroski, actor and reverse mortgage pitchman William Devane, (the worst) James Bond actor George Lazenby, the lovely Raquel Welch, German director Werner Herzog, possibly the greatest showman in history Freddie Mercury, “Gung-Ho” and “Beetlejuice” star Michael Keaton, and moron Rose McGowan.
That’s a pretty fine list, actually. And don’t even try to fight me over a couple of the claims I made there. I’m right and you all know it. But I digress. And anyway, its time for…the links!
At least he’s not an NRA member, eh comrade?
San Francisco goes completely insane and declares the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization. And they want to prohibit any supporters or members from getting government contracts in the shit-strewn city. I guess not even the people tasked with picking up the millions of heroin needles or spraying the shit off the sidewalks will be safe if they’re a member. LOL, just kidding. There’s nobody doing either of those. But seriously, this is an ugly and libelous statement and I’m sure it will cascade into further polarization and left-wing violence against those who just want to maintain the Second Amendment.
So the Remainers were saying Boris was undermining democracy by not holding an election. Then when he called for snap elections ahead of the Oct 31 Brexit deadline, they voted the proposal down. They also managed to prevent a no-deal Brexit. Which basically means the EU has the UK’s balls in a vise and can do whatever they want by refusing to negotiate at all (which is what they’ve done all along) and the will of our Limey cousins will have been thwarted by the very people they wanted to disassociate from. That’s pretty sad, yet unexpected from across the pond.
What could possibly go wrong? Seriously, this might be the least baked idea ever. I will eagerly await Trump denying the unsourced, uncorroborated piece and then a back and forth of retarded media pieces for a week or so until the next shiny object comes along.
Way to go Navy!!! You bunch of fat fucks. I mean, you’re fatter than the Air Force. The fucking Air Force is in better shape than you!!!!! Oh well, after the new PT tests are implemented next month, half the soldiers, airmen and semen out there will be on a program anyway.
Jesus, what an amateur. Everybody knows you put that in the checked luggage so its got more room to move around. A checked bag is way too small.
An idiot engages an intelligent person. Let’s roll the tape to see how this goes… Oh, it results in one person accusing the other of having a bunch of domestic abusers and violent criminals as friends. And then that person gets white-knighted by a bunch of betas. So basically, the same shit that always happens when this simpleton decides to make a point on twitter.
Well, my kids enjoyed a beautiful day off from school yesterday, courtesy of Hurricane Dorian. I mean, it rained for a couple of minutes in the afternoon, but that was the whole of it. Some hurricanes are like that. I sympathize with bureaucrats at all levels who are expected to DO SOMETHING!! five days before the storm is targeted to hit, when final track may be well outside of the Cone of Water Hoarding. For all the shit they take about it, at least in Florida, they’ve realized that it takes 2-3 days to do things like evacuate hospitals and stage relief efforts. It seems like huge overkill when the hurricane misses, but when it hits, people get saved.
I think this is evidence of Global Climate Change, and also the coming super caldera eruption that will kill millions. So, are the watermelons rooting for or against?
Way to conflate “radiation exposure” with medical imaging radiation exposure in calling MRI, CTs risky. How DARE! the peons want more medical imaging!
Democrats propose Eminent Domain for AR-style rifles? I don’t know what else to call a “mandatory gun buyback”. Kelo wasn’t that big a deal, right? Takings of property are fine as long as they’re compensated.

Grüezi mitenand.
Sloopy is still on his ‘quil bender (maybe we can get a sponsorship from Vicks?!). So you get my linkings of links. First, I shall try to keep format with the presentation of the links:
Birthdays – A very rough 1/365th of the Earth’s hoomans were born on this day. In some year or another.
Sports – The only thing that matters is … tomorrow night.
There, now on to the links!
I can see this happening. Swiss beer is… good for what it is. But they could use a shot in the arm, variety-wise. (The Swiss are very much wine drinkers, and kirschwasser too). Oh, please disregard the gratuitous crap (Brexit! Unemployment benefits are the best!) to see a few interesting things in this article.
Hey, look! A Swiss-Japan crossover link with yesterday’s theme in mind. You will laugh at the pic at the bottom, so RTFA.
Your money or … something! Our money! Our money, take it!!!! Good Lord, France. Have some dignity, would ya!
