Man, every redneck and his cousin-wife were in town today. I’ve never seen so many people in Apalachicola, FL in my life. You’d think they were having an SEC football game from the melange of Southern accents. Good for the townies. Gotta make that money while you can.
There are some shitty human beings in this world. Boko Haram is at the shittiest end of the list.

Where were the Corys on that billboard?
Corys were the victims.
i knew that was Sabo before even clicking.
I think being Pedo-victims gives you a past from being mocked.
Pass, damn it!
Yeah,I was hurrying to be first and Hollywood + pedos gave me that first.
Polanski didn’t “allegedly” rape the girl; he loves guilty to statutory rape.
Pled; not “loves”. I don’t know what the hell I typed that auto-correct changed to loves.
loves and fishes?
Still accurate, though.
Yup.
It wasn’t even merely statutory. It was fucking rape – full stop. He drugged the girl and sodomized her. If the girl had been 20 years old it would still have been rape.
And fuck Angelica Houston for her “she [the victim] was not unresponsive” justification.
It wasn’t ‘rape-rape’.
Trust me, if that happened to THEM or someone they loved, they’d change their stupid fucken tune.
That case is a litmus test for me. Huston and Goldberg are irredeemable pieces of shit.
Absolutely.
Polanski outed a lot of Hollywood types as irredeemable pieces of shit. A lot.
I did not know that about Huston.
Who’s Goldberg?
Woopi?
I looked up Polanski and the name of some screenwriter came up. *shrug*
I always liked Huston, though. Rats.
John or Angelica? I’m thinking she was too young for a party in 1969, but if JH was a sicko enabler…
Also, I mentioned in the book thread that I was a big reader of Jim Thompson novels. That said,I thought the film adaptation of The Grifters had bad casting. I don’t dislike any of the actors, per se, just thought they were wrong for the roles (possible exception for Bening).
I was talking about Anjelica.
As I understand it, Anjelica was born while Dad was in Africa filming The African Queen. So she would have been about 18 in 1969.
Sorry, guys. Old man moment.
Jezus. It was only last year that he was finally expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
It’s too bad he was out of town on August 8, 1969.
279 items? Stealthy
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republican-danielle-stella-aiming-to-unseat-ilhan-omar-charged-with-felony
Not too stealthy, she is being charged.
my point. Who shoplifts 279 items?
Someone lifting the whole shop, lock stock and barrel.
Teenage girls?
Depends, is it the same item? Like pens?
That plan was so crafty, that it should have worked!
*facepalm*
Winona Ryder?
True story. When I was 16-17 years old, one of my sisters used to have this ‘friend’ who would shoplift all sorts of stuff for her, because I’m not stupid, she was a lesbian who was madly in love with my sister. That shit pissed me off so much, I got into a big fight with my sister for using that poor girl because she was going to get into trouble. Well, it happened, she got prison time for it, and my sister, well she’s pretty and dumb as a box of rocks, didn’t seem to feel guilty in the least bit. People, they suck, stay away from them even if they’re family, especially if they are family. Story of my fucking life.
Normally, I’m not a fan of national borders, but I want one between me and your sister.
Hell yes.
Dude, I feel bad about posting that, but it’s true, she seems to have a complete lack of morals and conscious, something that seems to run in my family, I worry about me a lot, but I’ve still managed to turn out OK. She stole from me several times, which I can forgive, but causing someone to serve prison time for pure selfishness is not forgivable for me. I still talk to her, but I don’t feel any real sense of family there, haven’t for a long time. Sad, but true.
remembers arriving at Target to purchase items but nothing else” due to post-traumatic stress disorder, and that she “normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,”-
Thank god she’ll never have to interact with people as a politician. *Rolls eyes.
At least she’s cunning enough to go big.
And of all the Republicans in that district, this is the only person they can find who can run against Omar?
You’d think any sentient being could win against her as long as they stayed out of trouble and didn’t say anything disgusting.
Couldn’t even do that for a few minutes with this one, I see.
Isn’t this one of those districts that’s about as blue as AOC’s?
That paragraph made me question the “Republican hoping to unseat” label. Who, other than the special ed teacher herself, thinks she’s a serious candidate?
279 items in the express lane *should* be a felony. And expect to be told to go back to where you came from.
PTSD and she’s a Special Needs/Ed teacher? Wait, wait, wait, cause or correlation? Something wrong there. She will need a safe place in Congress where no one can find her, if elected.
Well the one thing she has going for her is that she makes bad decisions.
“Stella told police that she “remembers arriving at Target to purchase items but nothing else” due to post-traumatic stress disorder, and that she “normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,”
And she wants to get into….politics?
Didn’t see FM’s comment. But goes to show….it was a queer sentence.
Attention seeking… thinks the rules-cum-harsh-punishments should apply to the proles but not to her… entitled… yes, I think she’ll fit in with the other junior congress-persons just fine.
She looks kinda hot in her mugshot. Just sayin’.
Maybe if you already have HPV.
Lol
Those eyes are off.
Not quite AOC, but definitely in the same ballpark.
Nobody told her she needs to wait until after she’s elected to start stealing?
Other than the amusement value, this changes nothing. I will be elected Mayor of Mexico City before a Republican wins Omar’s seat in Congress.
No tunes? C’mon man…
Explosives strapped to children. Yep, that’s pretty much the worst of humanity on display.

Yeah, at least those kids are free-range and not locked up in cages.
Those kids got off lucky. They could be scraping for survival in the racist hellhole that is Trump’s America.
“… and that she “normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,”
Well, she wont find being in DC or the House of Representatives too anxiety inducing, Im sure.
Come on Republicans, you are being as terrible as Democrats now.
Did the Republicans back her to run in next year’s primary or is she volunteering? Just because some idiot says “I am running for the Libertarian Party nomination for President” doesn’t mean the LP convention is backing, endorsing, or embracing said nut job. Now, if she has the endorsement of whatever GOP committee puts up the “approved” primary candidate, then shame on them.
In fairness to her, DC isn’t inhabited by “people”.

Hey! *looks at time stamp*
You win this round.
I think you got me by a minute.
Be careful, it is known that Florida men can fold time since they have all fallen into a sink hole and came back out the other side, in Broward County, transmuted into time folders and 3rd world grifters.
Great minds.
Does it work?
Sup Tres!
Polanski is still on the lam in Europe for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl in the US.
I think you can drop the allegedly after he both admits it and was convicted.
The defense of him by Hollywood bitches for that is disgusting.
But he made a really good movie in 1974!
Rosemary’s baby is the worst horror movie I have ever seen and it continually tops the horror best list.
The acting was a bit heavy-handed.
It took me a few tries to get through it because I kept getting bored.
Oh come on, it was a great movie.
It was sooooo boring and nothing happens
He has some other good ones – Chinatown, Frantic, The Pianist. I like The Ninth Gate a lot too, although I know a lot of people hate it.
Duh – botched the fact that Chinatown is the 1974 one.
You know who else warned a president that they weren’t welcome in a large American city?
Did they say ‘And I speak for all Americans’, because I really hate people who say that with the passion of a thousand burning suns.
Lee Harvy Oswald?
No warning. Just a light tap on the shoulder.
I was going to say Jacqueline Kennedy.
Close, give it another shot.
It’s a no brainer
Bull Connor ?
Every other (D) mayor in America?
Trump should tell that clown he isn’t welcome in America and have him deported to Sweden.
Why do you hate Sweden? Don’t they already have enough commies?
See if they will trade him for A$AP Rocky.
Right? At least drop him somewhere in South America.
The correct answer is “he says he’s not from there”. I am disapoint.
THAT’S A VIOLATION OF MY FARGIN’ RIGHTS!
I don’t want to play “what about”, but just imagine for a moment some Republican politician pulling that stunt when Obama was president.

I remember being in Mitchell, SD in the early 80’s and they had a population explosion of crickets. They were everywhere. In grocery store, houses, restaurants, gas stations, everywhere. Harmless really.

Hmm. I feel fine.

We were driving up from Pensacola to Erie back in 2008 when there was a massive cicada explosion in the south. We stopped for the night at a motel in Kentucky that was swarming with them. Went out to the car to get a bag, and it looked like an entire tree took to the air as all the cicadas sitting on the branches all suddenly flew away together.
Army worms, yuck
Once, about 20 years ago, I was in Vegas for a big grasshopper invasion.
I was riding home with a friend of mine, and he stopped at the edge of Vegas to get gas. It was about 8 at night, still 120 degrees out, and everything was covered with grasshoppers. This particular friend is… difficult about some things, so instead of swiping his card at the pump he decides to go to the cashier, wait in line, give give them cash, then after filling up going back and stand in line again to get his change. So instead of a 5-minute stop, it takes like 30 minutes, during which I can either sit in the car in 120 degree heat with the windows rolled up or step outside for some fresh air and locusts. Then at one point I glanced over and at the car next to us were some fine gentleman who appeared to be members of some sort of urban community organization, at least two of whom had pistols visibly stuck in their waistbands.
I was pretty sure I was going to die, though some part of me did consider that perhaps I had already died and this was hell.
Oh, I guess I should say “during”, not “for”. Like, I didn’t see a flyer advertising Vegas Grasshopper Invasion ’99 and say “Dude, we should totally go to this.” It just sorta happened.
I was at Laughlin bike week for that. Picked up a lot of dropped bikes from the locust slime. It was surreal.
“Urban community organization”

Ouch.
Surgery was successful as it could be. Depending on how the procedure went, it was going to be one or two nights inpatient — thankfully it was only one. Doc gave us a better explanation this morning (though I’m not exactly coherent, working on 30 minutes sleep (as you could guess, it’s difficult to sleep in a pediatric cardiac ICU)). They went in (two veins on one leg, a vein and an artery in the other), after a while (longer than expected, but not too bad) they found the problem, used the catheter to destroy the section of her heart that was causing the tachycardia, bada bing, bada boom.
Home now and pretty exhausted, just happy it’s over.

Too bad we can’t do that to more government sector workers.
She was a juvenile court judge and she acts like a child.
Here’s the thing about juvenile court…. it’s basically a star-chamber. To protect the kids privacy, only parents, the prosecutors, the social workers and witnesses get to attend. The proceedings are secret from everyone else. Defense attorney’s aren’t even allowed to sit in on other cases, so the prosecutor has lots of experience dealing with the judge, while the defense attorneys are at a disadvantage.
Naturally, because the kids are minors, they are protected. They are not being criminally prosecuted, but the defendants in a juvenile delinquency proceeding. And since it’s not a criminal case, the normal fifth and sixth amendment protections are relaxed, since they only apply to criminal proceedings, which is not what the child is being put through.
So you have a secret trial with relaxation of the protections intended to prevent the innocent from being found

Boy, am I happy I dropped my other stuff to help them out and actually managed to get the issue squared away.
I’m starting to think that the issue really isn’t that important, and the clamor today about it was just a ruse for them to justify leaving early.

The thing that’s irksome about Musk is the over praise he gets for being a ‘genius inventor’. Entrepreneurial sure but they make it sound like he’s Edison.

How many of Edison’s inventions were actually his and how many were from the scores of people he employed is open for debate.

Heh, I was in one of my local liquor stores yesterday, one of the pretentious overpriced ones. I was just getting some beer, this Breckenridge craft pack for one, these are really great. Anyway, one of the guys who work there is this big black dude with an over the top growly bass voice. So I was looking for beer and this girly boy is asking the big dude ‘I like fruity beers, what do you have?’. I looked over at him. Neck beard, check, red skinny jeans, check, pipe cleaner arms, check, sissy sounding voice fry, check. Great. So, the big guy suggested a fruity IPA for him. Then mangina asks him ‘It doesn’t have too much alcohol does it? I’m really sensitive to alcohol’. Then big guy says ‘No, it’s not really that strong, it’s only 7.1%’, LOL. I’m thinking, WTF, you trying to kill this guy? 4 of those will kick mangina’s ass back into another dimension. Sometimes you want to say stuff, but you don’t, because civilization is still slightly intact.

But I don’t want to get buzzed on one drink! Bottles of red wine can’t be allowed to go bad!
Pour the extra into mason jars and screw the top on. Then you can drink like a Florida Man the next time you want a drink.
I used to work with a girl, From Arkansas, who would always asked me to meet her for a drink. I kept declining for reasons. We got to talking and she told me she can out drink me. She was maybe 5’1″ and about 100 lbs. She was cute, but a little petite girl. At the time, I was maybe 185 lbs. I told her, no way, you would die. So one day we finally got to it. We went camping, me and her friend and one of my friends. That little girl could drink a fucking amazing amount of alcohol. Did she outdrink me? No, but she gave it one hell of a try and was still pretty good in bed after, I was impressed.
Well I wouldn’t be good in Bed, but I can drink with ya,
Any time, Yusef, let’s do it. We’ll skip the bed of course, bro, (:

How many hours after passing out did she crap in the tent?
I just found out, after walking around with such a quizzical look that a security guard came up to me, that in Philly you can’t buy liquor/wine and beer in the same store.
So I had to buy liquor in the wine and spirits store and then go to a beer distributorship (grocery store) to buy beer.
The shit that nanny staters come up with never ceases to amaze me.
Same in NY.
Shit I guess I lived in Jersey City and Hoboken so long I forgot about that. In Jersey I’d go to the back room of shoprite and get everything
A beer distributor in a grocery store? I’ve never seen that in PA.
That asshole Wolf wanted to “modernize” the system instead of privatizing it, which meant loosening the rules on beer distributors. Instead of only being allowed to sell in bulk, they can sell six packs and twelve packs now.
They still have the stupid tavern law, which grocery stores and bars which sell beer to go have to abide by. 192 ounces in one transaction, and for grocery stores you have to go to a separate register to ring up your purchase.
It was weird when I moved to NH and found I could buy beer and wine in the grocery store without hassle.
Well to me a grocery store sells random foodstuffs. The place I got the beer had random foodstuffs
Ahh. I have seen a few PA beer distributors with snack-type food for sale.
Yeah, there are also at least a couple states that allow grocery stores to sell hard liquor. (CA is one, surprisingly)
Having lived in NH & FL, I’m used to the grocery store (beer + wine) and liquor store separation. Also, NH only has state owned liquor stores. I have to admit, they were far better run than I would’ve expected from a state-owned business.
Lots of grocery stores in S.E. Penna. now sell wine and beer in a section of the store. Haven’t seen the hard stuff yet.
Getting my industrial popcron popper ready
I have an old style popcorn maker and I had made popcorn in a long time. I decided 1 cup of popcorn should be a good amount for two people. Turns out 1 cup equals more popcorn than the machine can handle and knocks the top off. We ate popcorn for 2 hours and barely made a dent.
Usually it’s tablespoons, not cups. Which you know now
I like to learn the hard way.

Defamation isn’t covered by the first amendment. I’m certain they’ll appeal.
It should be.
Nope. Knowingly bearing false witness against someone is not freedom of speech or press, and I don’t think the WaPo is going to claim satire.
Lying isn’t/shouldn’t be a crime, now if one swears to tell the truth (court of law and whatnot) that’s one thing (breech of contract), me telling everyone I meet that “X” is a sheep-fucker? not/shouldn’t be a crime.
Who said anything about a crime? This is a civil suit.
Oh shit. The pedant got pedantic’d.
Oh, I didn’t realize that if found in the wrong WaPo can just tell this racist kid to go pound sand and nothing else will happen, fair enough.
If you read the article, the judge says that the WaPo doesn’t single him out, just talks about red-hat-wearing teens. (accompanied by a photo of the kid in question) Judge says you cannot infer that it was talking about him.
Gonna make an excellent appellate justice, with that sort of back-into-the-decision reasoning.
also says statements about teens swarming him and being racist are opinions and therefore protected by the first amendment.

Do you go all the way to 8000? I got a 2000 stone and I get a nice enough edge for chopping onions but I never can get that razor sharp edge.
These are great:

I have one of those. So much easier.
I have the 4643, not only easy but fast without needing electricity.
Bottom of a coffee cup. Works great and one less kitchen gadget.
I don’t know why, but I fucking love some Steely Dan. Am I getting old? Is this a midlife crisis? Is there a cure? Do I need to drank moar?
Back Jack
Sorry man, that’s rough
Steely Dan has some good stuff. “My Old School” and “Time Out of Mind” are good tunes.
My Old School. Thank for that one, DEG!, I had actually forgot about that one.
Nothing wrong with some Steely Dan.
Yes there are ‘Rikki Don’t Lose that Number” and “Hey Nineteen” for two.
Here, have some Lemmy.

And not a Steely Dan fan.
That’s a great song.
Yeah, you old. Sorry.

I’m just a little buzzed and it’s on 6PM. Am I a bad person?
Yes. You should be on the verge of blacking out by now.
I got 3 hours to prove the point, should be good go…..
Needz Moar Beer…
I’m in walking distance of a Liquor Palace store, I’m good to go, and it only hit 112 today
Too hot. I don’t care if it’s a dry heat
No.
I had some boozy coffee this morning. A beer at lunch. I just finished the Dark n Stormy. Time for dinner and then a beer.
Yes, but not because you at drinking.
Yes, but it has nothing to do with the booze.
You are a man who has made it.
“Forced penetration: If a woman forces a man to have sex, is that rape?”
https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1154222483895128064
https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-49057533
Yes. Duh
I figured this question had been settled long ago.
What if the man is asleep. Happened to me. I felt pretty good when I found out
Depends on where you are. If you are on a college campus, you are probably guilty of raping her.
Stealing from a twitter post the other day: What are your three favorite songs named after a woman?
(My list would be Angie – The Stones, Alison – Elvis Costello, and Valerie – Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse)
Whatever else you think of her, Jesus what a set of pipes.
Lorelei, Beatrix, Persephone, Pandora, Amelia, and Cicely – Cocteau Twins.
Tongue-in-cheek but I do love that album. If I was answering seriously, Lorelei might be in the list.
Also: Medusa, Michelle, Louise, and Lorretine – Clan of Xymox.
4AD FTW
Angie for sure
Jolene
Roxanne roxanne
The problem with “Jolene” is that Dolly originally did it when she was 25 or so. If you look at a video from the time, you have to doubt the narrative, unless he really didn’t like big hair.
The effect is named after the famous story about President Calvin Coolidge and his wife being shown around a farm. Learning that a cockerel could have sex dozens of times a day, Mrs. Coolidge said: “Please tell that to the president.” On being told, Mr. Coolidge asked, “Same hen every time?” “Oh, no, Mr. President. A different one each time.” The president continued: “Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge”
Damn. The more I learn about Coolidge, the more I like him.
You have to look at Queen Adreenas version. It is nasty and sexy. And nobody knows about it.
Gloria, Them
Victoria, The Kinks
Candy-O, The Cars
Oh shit we all forgot the best song of them all.
Lola
Wasn’t Lola a dude though?
I was with you right up to Candy-O
Amoreena-Elton John
Eileen- Keith Richards
Rosie- Tom Waits
Eileen from Main Offender I guess? That’s a criminally underappreciated album.
Valerie –
Mark Ronson ft. Amy WinehouseSteve WinwoodAlso, is Lola allowed for contention or dq’d for not being a woman?
And the correct answers are
Layla
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (alternate: Eleanor Rigsby)
Proud Mary
I approve the choice of Eleanor Rigby.
Martina 😉
hmmm… how about:
Charlotte the Harlot (Iron Maiden)
Countess Bathory (Venom)
Whole Lotta Rosie (AC/DC)
Oh damn, how could I forget Penicillin Penny.
The cover of Countess Bathory by Unleashed was, for some reason, popular at my high school during the alt/grunge heyday 90s.
Roseanne 🙂
Im gonna agree with Gustave on Valerie by Steve Winwood and add Mary by Morphine, Bernadette by the Four Tops and Jane Says by Jane’s Addiction.
Im gonna agree with Gustave on Valerie by Steve Winwood
You are a horrible person with horrible opinions, Seek help.
OTOH – Bernadette, Good call! Especially on Funk And Soul Friday™.
“This luxury ice cream is made from insects
(CNN)After a long day under the beating South African sun, an ice cream might be a tempting treat.
But would you be able to enjoy it if you knew it was made from bug “milk?”
Gourmet Grubb, a Cape Town-based start-up, is hoping to use ice cream to introduce the public to the world of eating insects.
Its luxury ice cream uses EntoMilk, a dairy alternative made by blending the larvae of a tropical insect known as the black solider fly.
The UN predicts that the world will need to double food production to feed the global population by 2050 and has long promoted insect farming as a sustainable alternative protein source to traditional livestock.”

There is at least one of these articles every week.
That’s not Luxury.
I agree.
Nor is it ice cream.
I ‘raise’ black soldier flies in my backyard composter. They eat virtually every type of scrap and make great compost. And my ducks lose to eat them. But I ate one on a dare and they taste like shit. No thanks.
I listened to some kid on Tom Woods go on for 30 mins about Black Soldier flies ending world hunger. He sounded passionate but also possibly manic and deranged. While the concept certainly seems to have interesting potential, eating them or a bi-product they create is a bridge to far for me.
I’ve had grasshoppers fried in a wok with salt and spices. I’ve had worse but it’s not something I want to eat again.
I’ve had grasshopper before. It was at a Mexican place. Grasshoppers fried and rolled in a corn bread type dough. It wasn’t anything special.
Palm worm, like a giant white grub, deep fried. My VN counterpart called it VN French fries. About a dozen young VN soldiers were watching me, I ate about 1/2, chugged a half a beer, ate the other half and finished the beer. I’m not sure what it tasted like. What a man has to do for respect.
How about no? Just… no. Ever.
Fly larvae aka maggots
Yes. Exactly. I’m grossed out seeing them on the bottom of my dumpster. The thought of eating them…
Well, I’d have to be significantly hungrier than I am now.
If I was starving to death, sure, but not by choice. Hell, I’d eat at Chipotle if I was desperate enough.
Speaking of CNN, I was battling the progs on my Knicks blog again the other day, and among other claims I still can’t stop laughing at when I think of, I was told that CNN is neutral. And he knows that because he works in the industry.
And I’m a nazi if I don’t agree.
“Can a person run for, and be, President of the United States and Prime Minister of Great Britain simultaneously? Yes. Absolutely. Without question. But I believe I am one of the few people stil alive who could qualify for the combined position.”

Dominican Republic Pokey.
Ah, I see, a firearms charge.

“Pastor says he used oral sex to “suck demons” out of men
A New Jersey minister accused of sexually assaulting his parishioners has launched a creative defense: he claims he was sucking demons out of them by performing fellatio.
69-year-old Rev. Dr. William Weaver faces a lawsuit by four former parishioners–three men, one woman–who claim that the Presbyterian minister sexually assaulted them when they came to him for spiritual counseling. Documents obtained by Newsweek reveal that during counseling sessions Weaver asked the three men to strip naked and lay down. He would then place an angel coin on their heads, as well as sacred stones on their hands and ankles, before performing oral sex on them.
Weaver allegedly told his victims that he needed to “suck” the demons out through their semen and that the ritual had come from Native American lore. At least one victim also reported Weaver kissing him on the mouth during the “ceremony.””

Wow, I’m going to feel bad deleting this. *deletes* Huh. Not so much.
Hey, evvybuddy!! I managed to get out of bed and perambulate without my crutch today! Just went to the pool and floated around.
When you have a broken back, weightlessness is awesome.
Yay.
Those arent buoys!
Huzzah!
Metallica Mixer Explains Missing Bass on ‘And Justice for All’ I can relate to this. At the time, I played in a cover band that did “Eye of the Beholder”, and even with the bass maxed on my stereo, I couldn’t hear Newstead’s line. I just doubled the rhythm guitar.
Dammit. Second time today I replied when I meant to have a new post.
In any event, I hope you continue feel better Hi-X, and may you be blowing up stuff again soon.
Thank ya!
Good for you! Get better very soon.
Damn it. Sgammo is trying to take more of my money.
Is that the weapons division of Sbarro?
