    Vegas, baby, Vegas!

    Thanks to OMWC for bailing me out yesterday.  Moving sucks. Just ask Raiders fans. Man, Josh Gordon needs to lay off the drugs.  Or the NFL needs to update its CBA to allow its employees to do what they want with their own bodies.

    Drew Brees was nearly perfect as the New Orleans Saints (Buckeyes South) won big.  Liverpool play Villa in the League Cup today and play in the club World Cup tomorrow. They’re taking both matches about as seriously as they need to in order to keep rolling toward a EPL title, thankfully.  And your hockey winners last night were: Florida, Nashville, Columbus, St Louis, and Edmonton.

    I spy with my little eye a commie destroying my legacy!

    Publishing legend Bob Guccione was born on this day. As were commie Pope Francis, tingly-leg guy Chris Matthews, comedic genius Eugene Levy, Steely Dan drummer Jim Hodder, Spaceballs‘s Bill Pullman, MMA legend Chuck Liddell, the lovely Milla Jovovich, boxing stud Manny Pacquiao, leaker Bradley Manning, and underrated actor Giovanni Ribisi.

    OK then, here come…the links!

    The EU may be in trouble, as it appears the British have elected people who understand how negotiations actually work. Of course, the EU is in trouble as soon as one of their two cash cows bails anyway. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of that globalist shitshow.

    At first I thought this was a tragedy. Then I saw what the contents were. I’m firmly in the “meh” column now.

    The South shall rise again…from the dead!

    I wonder how hard they’re really looking for the person who did this. Also, don’t read the comments. Lots of fans of theft, censorship and banning of inanimate objects in there.

    This is what’s called “tax evasion” when a normal person does it. When it’s a Chicago city employee, its called an error that they get to fix when caught.

    Too gaudy even for Trump…but not Mitt.

    Speaking of big money…this is pretty serious money. Jeez, Mormon Church. When is enough enough? Although I’m skeptical of the “whistleblower’s” motives.

    A series of deadly storms ripped across the south, claiming one person. Man, that sucks.  I got nothing snarky to say.

    This is my favorite version of this song. Suck it, John Legend.

    That’s it. Go have a great day, friends.

  • Monday Afternoon Rush to Relax Links

    Happy Monday ever’body. I’m running around like a mad-man trying to get all my work stuff done for a release tomorrow night so I can not rush around for the next two weeks after that. I’m not really sure that the rushing is doing me any good, but there it is. Also, the Holiday season is upon us. Somehow every night but Friday between now and Christmas is completely booked. No, wait. Wednesday night I’m home while my wife goes out to dinner with some friends. So I managed to dodge one bullet.

    If you’re as big a fan[person] as my wife, this has you squeeing for joy. Seriously, the best part about this is I was able to get some tickets for a summer festival and my wife treated it like she was the chick in the Jared commercial getting the ring.

    The home exercycle trend meets the teledildonics trend. I’m sure camhos will figure out a way to monetize this soon.

    Congress infantilizes adults. Now do selective service and voting age.

    Everyone involved in this is a moron.

     

    For my wife, I’m posting this video on a site she never visits.

  • Sunday Morning Links of Distinction

    It somehow doesn’t feel like a real Sunday without Lamar Jackson babbling incoherently into a microphone after 60 minutes of redefining the quarterback position. Well, at least I’ll be enjoying some vindaloo while watching SP going nuts at the TV set, swaddled in her Green Bay gear. “That Aaron Rodgers, his eyes are just soooooo dreamy…” There’s cold Gruet, and after that and a few bottles of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, I should be ready to cheer on the Bills as they destroy any playoff hopes of the Steelers. It will almost be like a birthday present except it’s not my birthday.

    But it IS the birthday of a guy who deserved his glowing recommendations; the most famous farmer of the ’60s; one of the most interesting and sane voices in science; and one of the funniest and most charming people SP and I have ever seen in live performance.

    On to the news.

     

    Speaking of Baltimore…

     

    Speaking of the Ravens…

  • The Night Shift for December 14, 2019

    Yep, I have to work tonight (my pardner has a birthday AND college graduation this weekend).  Nope, my familial travails aren’t anywhere near improved.  But, it’s been long enough, and, since I have no idea when I’ll be prevented from doing this on any kind of schedule, might as well get something out before the end of the year.  With that out of the way, let’s get on with the commenting festivities:

     

    Since we are in the holiday season, and since I usually throw in some music with these posts (and, there are a LOT of options for me to choose), I’ll try a bit different format.  I trust that, if you don’t participate, you may still like these choices…or, not, since I’m not your boss, or anything:

    1. Something traditional, to start us off
    2. If you know Sir Digby, you probably expected this jam
    3. If you don’t like this classic, may Krampus visit you in the small hours of the night, wearing a French tickler and space helmet.
    4. This artist’s seasonal offerings made for a tough choice, and this is where I landed. I had no idea he had so many!
    5. Allow this goy boy to offer up something that should please many .
    6. Sir Digby’s personal favorite, in the classic style.

    I can only say that I’m really disappointed my home state doesn’t have a sheriff like this.  I have no idea if this is a good idea, or bad.  I am, however, very elated at the hope this gives to others.

    I am happy that this was in my home town.  I can see these folks embody a particular stereotype, but, I definitely applaud the giving.

    Did anyone do any Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday shopping, in meat-space or online?  If so, care to share any bargains you got, or, any best kept secrets for that time of year?

    I know this has made the rounds amongst the glibs, but…c’mon—it’s a classic, and the reason for my handle addition.  Notice the explanation under the video.  Are you sure the ‘whole thing’ really adds to anything other than the comedy?

    Do you see what multiculturalism has led to??  Do you?!?  (“a lot more metal” is right!)

    Wait…how close is CA to BC?  It’s not Christmas if it’s not political.  Post-Enlightenment, indeed.

    Glib holiday travel plans:  Where are you going?  For how long?  How are you getting there?  Will you bring me back a souvenir?  Er, scratch that—how about I just watch your stuff while you’re gone?  You know, for security purposes…

    Yeah, I’m watching The Mandalorian, and I’m enjoying the heck out of it, too.  But, since some of you just had to crap on it, you get THIS.  See what you made me do?

    Alright—I guess it’s time to wrap up (get it??) with a classic, by a beloved performer.

     

    I don’t know if this was a return to form for me, or, just an attempt to get back on the horse.  Or, both.  In any event, I’m not giving up on my beloved Saturday nights just yet.  Don’t you do it, either.  If I don’t happen to get another one out before the new year, do your best to enjoy the holiday season, in whatever form that takes.  For those of you who spend time on the Discord server, please invite our brethren and sistren over for some late Saturday yuks and hijinks.  Peace!

    Have you done your shopping yet?

     

    40 degrees, sunny, no wind, rain washed sky and the mountains are covered with snow. A beautiful December day.

  • Saturday Morning Return to Normalcy Links

    It’s an odd feeling being alone with SP and Wonder Dog again. And Mom not saying, “Why are you looking at your computer and laughing?” Eerie. SP has gone vegan again, just in time for Christmas. We spent last night watching Jack Ryan shoot at a lot of spics, but mostly at the bad right wing ones. The weather is perfect, I just reached my Medicare eligibility, and my heinie’s clean. So I guess things could be worse.

    Like having a birthday, for instance, a guy who cratered out; a guy who did a lot; Buddy Sorrell who you don’t want to share your latest song with; maybe the most brilliant American bandleader; a shitbag in the news; and the Human Vacuum Cleaner when it comes to grounders.

    So… news.

     

    Fingers crossed that he comes back as a Raven.

  • ZARDOZ FRIDAY EVENING LINKS AND ADVICE

    ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS HAVE BEEN RECRUITING – AND ZARDOZ WOULD HAVE THE OPINION OF THE CHOSEN ONES, ON A NEW RECRUIT…APPARENTLY ANYONE WHO CROSSES THIS PERSON ENDS UP CLEANSED.

    ZARDOZ BELIEVES THE TWO ROUNDED FACE POUCHES HOLD EXTRA AMMUNITION!

    PLEASE INFORM ZARDOZ OF YOUR COGITATIONS ON THIS IN THE COMMENTS. AS A REWARD FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE….ZARDOZ GIVES THE DUAL GIFT OF LINKS AND ADVICE! GO FORTH AND COMMENT.

    • IF ZARDOZ COULD WEEP…OR WAS SO INCLINED, EVER… THE TRAVAILS OF THIS POOR BRUTAL WOULD BRING A LITHOID TEAR TO ZARDOZ’S CHEEK.
    • ZARDOZ WISHES HIS CIRCUITS WOULD ALLOW FOR LAUGHTER. THIS INSPIRES THE DESIRE FOR MIRTH CIRCUITRY.
    • YOU MAY ASK WHY ZARDOZ WISHES THE FILTH OF BRUTALITY CLEANSED FROM THE EARTH? OBSERVE THIS.

    AND NOW THE CHOSEN ONES RECEIVE ADVICE ON MANNERS. GO FORTH AND ETIQUETTE!

    Q: I host all holiday celebrations. This is because I have the space and the cooking skills, and for the most part, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and preparing a huge, elegant meal for them. With one exception, the crowd seated around the table always seems to enjoy the feast very much.

    However, we have one family member, an older woman, who acts like a spoiled toddler at the table: making faces, gagging and spitting out any food that is not to her taste, then loudly announcing the specific reasons she does not care for the food, and what I should have made instead. She has even gone as far as to remove family favorites from the table, throwing plates full of food in the trash, yelling that she is protecting everybody else from being made ill by that horrible slop!

    What she does like are instant foods and canned goods that are doctored up with sugar, garlic, prepackaged seasoning mixes and sometimes bacon. I cook from scratch and have a lighter hand with the seasonings. I try to make sure there are things on the table that she will eat, but she is the only one who wants that stuff, which also makes her very angry. Otherwise, I do my best to ignore the insulting and childish behavior.

    My immediate family and I have had a terrible year, full of grief, stress, physical pain and illness, with more troubles on the horizon. I am having difficulty dealing with this extended family member’s outspokenness at times that are not so emotionally loaded as holiday celebrations, and have, on a couple occasions, snapped at her. If it were possible to be out of town for the holidays to avoid the unpleasantness, that is exactly what we would do, but we have obligations at home.

    How do I keep my temper in check and create some boundaries while still being a good hostess? Do I somehow find the energy to cook her a big, separate meal in an attempt to keep the peace? Do I do it her way to shut her up, and let everybody else complain? Do I suggest that she go to the Asian restaurant down the road, the only business open over the holidays, if she cannot eat what is on my table? Do I confront her about her behavior? If so, how do I do it in a way that does not make others uncomfortable?

    I need a plan, or I am afraid I will be unable to keep from sharing a few honest opinions of my own, and things will get ugly!

    A: ZARDOZ SAYS, IF GREEN BREAD AND GOBLETS OF WATER ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE ETERNALS, THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR WHINY, DRAMATIC AND SENILE RELATIVE.

    “Someone shut Aunt Millie up about the bread!”

    UPON FURTHER COGITATION, PERHAPS SHE SUFFERS FROM IGNORANCE OF HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO THE PREPARATION OF SUCH FOOD. ZARDOZ CAN HAVE HER EDUCATED FROM FARM…

    “You missed one…”

    TO TABLE…

    Mmmmm…. green!

     

    Is this non-GMO, Gluten-free, Fair Trade green bread?

    SO A GOOD ROUND OF GRAIN, BAKERY AND DELIVERY SLAVERY WILL SHUT GRANNY UP.

    ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

  • Friday Afternoon Links

    Happy Friday afternoon! Thanks to everyone who pinch hit for me in this slot this week. I was in Detroit all week. I think I saw about 10 minutes of blue sky in five days. How does anyone live like that? Ugh. And then my youngest threw up at daycare. Went and picked him up, and the first thing he did when I literally picked him up in the classroom? Put his hands over my mouth. So it looks like I’m going to lose five pounds on the fashion model diet over the next 36 hours.

    Somehow, the defeat of anti-semitic socialists heralds the ascent of Nazism in Britain. I’m confused about how being an international anti-semitic socialist is qualitatively better than the national brand, but I just report what I see.

    The Chilean C-130 plane bound for Antarctica has been located.  Coincidentally, there are no communist dissidents among the survivors.

    What?

    In better news, Cuba had a disappointing year in tourism.   Apparently, few people want to visit a socialist hellhole.

    The Pentagon is investigating a contract award for parts of “the wall” built by a contractor openly endorsed by the president. I’m sure its its as squeaky clean as Halliburton.

    In other news, Mexicans don’t like artwork depicting revolutionary heroes as gay.

    A painting showing Mexican Revolution hero Emiliano Zapata nude and in an effeminate pose has drawn the ire of some of Zapata’s descendants and led about 100 farmers to block the entrance to the building where it was on display Tuesday.

    The painting depicts a nude Zapata wearing high heels and a pink, broad-brimmed hat, straddling a horse.

    Zapata’s grandson said Monday the painting should be removed or descendants would sue.

    “We are not going to allow this,” said Jorge Zapata Gonzalez. “For us as relatives, this denigrates the figure of our general (Zapata), depicting him as gay.”

    Determine this one on your own.
