Friday Night Open-ish Post

Swiss was a bit tied up (those cheese holes won’t drill themselves), STEVE SMITH is… otherwise occupied, so I’m stepping in to give you people a place to rant, vent, and otherwise be horrible humans.

The only content I’ll put here is the single funniest thing Donald Trump has ever tweeted. And this one other Twatter link. And now you guys and gals can have at it.

    For your bio how about “Wino & birth date aficionado”?

  2. Here’s a pity comment. Sad.

    1. Not “Sad!” with an exclamation point like Trump?

      1. I’m no Trumpian.

        1. Old Man With Candy

          Indeed not. You have TERF bangs.

          1. Tulip

            Ha!

          2. commodious spittoon

            I thought a TERF bang is when… actually I don’t know what that would be. I don’t know the vocabulary well enough. A hate frick between a feminist and a MTW pre-op? Or a lesbian supremacist and her FTM ex? Some even more bizarre intersection thereof?

          3. A really angry chick with blue hair doing a dude up the ass with a strap on.

          4. Hyperion

            Can’t we all just get along?

          5. *looks for Trashy’s camera in our bedroom*

  3. MikeS

    She turned them down? Seriously?

    1. Old Man With Candy

      Yeah, I put that in this morning’s links.

      1. MikeS

        The hell?

        *goes back to am links*

        Ahh. As an edit update. I apparently clicked the links before you added that.

        1. A likely excuse.

        2. R C Dean

          “I apparently clicked the links”

          Fake news. Nobody clicks the links.

    2. Atanarjuat

      That’s low class, even by contemporary political standards.

      1. R C Dean

        True, and, as ever with Trump, not terribly inaccurate.

      2. Playa Manhattan

        Um…. have you seen video of Tlaib at Trump rallies before he won the election?

        1. Playa Manhattan

          https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/watch-screaming-rashida-tlaib-physically-removed-from-2016-trump-event

          I’d link to youtube, but for some crazy reason, I can seem to find it there.

          Ladies and gentlemen, that is a congresswoman.

        2. Playa Manhattan

          OK. I did find it on youtube, but I had to click through from a conservative website. It didn’t show up in a search, though they know EXACTLY what I was looking for.

          Here is a person with power over you and I:

          1. DEG

            Oh shit. For some reason I thought she was the one in The Squad from Massachusetts. Pressley is from MA, not Tlaib. Tlaib is from Michigan. Oops.

          2. westernsloper

            I think Rashida means Juggsy in Arabic. Surprised Q hasn’t linked that before.

  4. Been having an actually nice and chill week so don’t got much to rant on. Will be doing some traveling this weekend, I’ll see if I can scrounge up some cool stuff for an article from it.

    1. Excellent.

    2. Atanarjuat

      I just got back from a father-son trip (with my awesome 13 year old) to Costa Rica, I want to do a short thing on it, even though it’s a lot less exotic than the places the rest of y’all go.

      1. Yes, please!

      2. That’s cool, looking forward to it!

      3. MikeS

        even though it’s a lot less exotic than the places the rest of y’all go.

        Yeah, I just got back from Itasca State Park in Minnesoda. Waaayyy more exotic than Costa Rica. 😉

      4. R C Dean

        I went to work.

        Not exotic (if you exclude some of the more colorful pathogens).

    3. Hyperion

      “Been having an actually nice and chill week so don’t got much to rant on.”

      I just was finishing up my 5th SSRS report this week. It’s not my primary job (as a software engineer), but I sort of enjoy it and sort of pride myself on being a master of T-SQL. So yeah, not a bad week, but considering the more high impact stuff I need to get done, also a distraction.

    4. Nephilium

      See, it’s not so terrible back here in the states.

      Work has been busy this week, but I managed to get a bike ride in today, out to board game yesterday, plans to go to an art fest in the Flats tomorrow, and looking to do a 20 mile ride Sunday with a friend of mine.

    5. Sir Digby: Fake Purse Ninja

      You getting close to being back State-side?

  5. Suthenboy

    That really is his funniest yet.

    1. Atanarjuat

      Funniest president ever? Even his Twitter bio (“45th President of the USA” or whatever) is designed to troll and piss off his haters.

  6. Tulip

    I’ve been texting with bad idea guy and am so looking forward to tomorrow. He’s the first guy I’ve met online dating that gets my motor running.

    1. Security clearance???

      1. Tulip

        He says, he doesn’t smoke pot, just brought it back for friends. Yes, this is stupid. Again, I’m 50 and single. I don’t make good choices.

        He is funny and has kind eyes and claims to think I’m pretty. I’m a sucker for that.

        1. Uh-huh.

          Am I going to have to use my admin privilege and email yell at you, young lady?

          1. Tulip

            It won’t do any good

          2. *sigh* Well, as an actual libertarian who wouldn’t even talk her own children out of bad decisions or interfere in their lives….

          3. Leave her alone. You go make bad decisions Tulip, you only live once. Take pictures, write an article, Make “Glibs After Dark” a thing.

          4. I agree. Taking risks and making mistakes is more fun. I’m probably more careful than anyone and I’m spending my Friday night here. You probably don’t want to be like me.

          5. Tulip

            I will do an ethnography of men I didn’t date. I am protective of those who are decent to me. They don’t deserve to be made fun of

          6. Tulip

            But, I haven’t removed my profile, so there’s still hope for me

        2. R C Dean

          “just brought it back for friends”

          Uh-huh.

          Hope you have fun. Seriously.

          1. Suthenboy

            Yeah, that jumped out at me too.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm-LyRgTYe0

        3. Nephilium

          Congrats Tulip. First I’m hearing about it, but may I ask why he’s such a bad idea?

          Have fun.

          1. Tulip

            Drove pot back from Colorado for friends. Has multiple crappy vehicles and forgets to register all, so switches plates. All stuff I don’t think should be illegal, but could threaten my security clearance. Irresponsible dufus stuff. Exactly my type.

          2. Nephilium

            Driving it back I don’t think is that risky. Forgetting to register vehicles and swapping plates may be an issue (depending on state laws).

            Security clearance risk could be very dangerous, especially if it’s needed for your job.

            I’ve made worse decisions in my past love life though (and probably current), so I’m not sure I’m the best for advice.

          3. Tulip

            So I’m not getting in a car with him. I always have to drive

          4. Nephilium

            Tulip: I was more referring to the fact it may indicate that there’s an issue with the vehicles, his license, or his cash-flow that prevents getting the vehicles properly registered. Or he could just be a scatterbrained guy who needs a strong woman to keep him on the right path.

          5. banginglc1

            Neph’s got a point. I nearly have a white trash used car lot outside, but all of my cars are registered and plated.

          6. DrOtto

            Not registering cars isn’t in itself a big deal. Switching plates can get you thrown in the police if the cop’s a big enough dick about it. Driving back pot in an unregistered car with switched plates is asking for trouble if it happened that way. That said, bad decisions can be fun if they work out in the end.

          7. Not Adahn

            Drug dealer.

          8. Tulip

            Won’t be the first I’ve dated. I don’t make good decisions

          9. Rasilio

            Dating them isn’t the bad decision, marrying and having kids with them is the bad decision. If you get out before then it is just a colorful story you can look back on

          10. Suthenboy

            He claims not to have smoked pot but admits to committing felonies. I assume that is what ‘brought it back’ means.

          11. To be fair, everybody commits three felonies a day.

        4. Spudalicious

          Tell him he has to shoot himself in the nuts. If a bag of weed falls out of his butt, you’ll know he was lying and you can quickly exit the date.

          1. Chafed

            That may be the best advice I’ve seen here.

      2. I’m Here To Help

        Eh, I wouldn’t be too worried about the security clearance. We actually had a low level employee in my agency (not someone with any sort of power) get drunk, steal a car, and get caught by the police doing so and not lose their clearance. And this was during a TDY trip, so their supervisor had to go pick him up from the jail.

        But then again, I had a security officer threaten me and my clearance because I kept a COPY of my emails from a prior agency. Not the only copy, but just a copy – they said that if I didn’t get written permission from the agency it could be considered theft of government property…

    2. Hyperion

      He hasn’t told you that you have pretty feet yet, has he? I mean even though he hasn’t seen your feet? Don’t get me wrong, I loved online dating, and it’s how I met my wife, but damn if there are not some weird fucking people out there. I mean some of them might even be libertarians. Be careful girl!

      1. Tulip

        I am careful. Google voice etc.

        1. Good move. Since google is tracking your every move, it will be easier to find the body .

          1. Tulip

            Exactly. Is it morbid I thought of that? Not with this guy, but some who only revealed their controlling nature after getting my Google voice number

          2. commodious spittoon

            it will be easier to find the body

            Wait, is Tulip looking for dates or victims?!

          3. R C Dean

            Potayto, potahto?

          4. Spudalicious

            Uffda.

        2. Hyperion

          “I am careful.”

          Good for you, have fun!

      2. Tulip

        Frankly Hyperion, that’s more than I wanted to know about you

        1. Hyperion

          Doesn’t matter how much you want to know about me, it only matters how much you know about the person you are currently chatting with on the intertoobz.

        2. Hyperion

          But that was funny, girly, I larfed.

        3. commodious spittoon

          I want dad to try online dating, but he hates the idea. Says he’s too normal for that kind of thing. I tell him, Dad, you’re a successful businessman and you’ve kept your looks, even if you’re barely sixty. You’d be a hit. But he’s old fashioned like that. Maybe you could talk him into it.

          1. Tulip

            Well, a guy who seems normal, who doesn’t instantly ask to see my tits, or if I like to fuck, will do well.

          2. R C Dean

            *revises strategy*

          3. banginglc1

            See, I know to stay away from these things . . That’s why I send a dick pic in my first message instead.

          4. Tulip

            Sigh

          5. commodious spittoon

            Tulip, you are a perfect Laurel. Or Hardy. Whichever one was the straight man. I only know the reference.

            You’re the perfect that guy.

          6. Not Adahn

            Margaret DuMonde?

          7. Tulip

            I have no idea what that means

          8. commodious spittoon

            She’s good.

          9. Old Man With Candy

            Dumont.

          10. Hyperion

            “I want dad to try online dating, but he hates the idea. ”

            It’s wonderful, you just have to learn how to do it. It’s like the greatest thing ever in internet history. You just gave yourself a HUGE amount of traffic and at the same time, you don’t even have to talk to any of them. If anything ever happened to my wife and I, and I don’t expect that, or want it, I would go right back there, in an instant.

          11. Don Escaped Texas

            yup: binders of chicks

          12. R C Dean

            So how does old, fat, balding, and well funded play in online dating?

            Asking for a friend.

          13. I am not old and balding!

          14. Jarflax

            or well funded 🙂

          15. Tulip

            I, personally, don’t care about balding. I don’t like guys who lie about height or by using 10 year-old pictures

          16. banginglc1

            using 10 year-old pictures

            This problem isn’t exclusive to men.

            Also, one full body picture. I don’t need to find out on the first date that you’re fat. (I don’t mind a little cushion, but most the women who do this are on the extreme.

          17. I don’t like the pictures that show my girth.

      3. Tulip

        Lol, he seems like a lot of fun in multiple ways. Is he mister right? I don’t think so, so I’m keeping my profile, but he might be mister right now. And as I said, only one I’m really physically attracted to so far. Now, I tend to get attracted to gauge as I get to know them, so there is one other guy I plan to have a second date with, but he’s busy with his kids right now

        1. banginglc1

          I assume you’re going to roofie him on the date so you can take his keys, go back to his place and do some recon, right? Isn’t that how it’s done?

        2. DEG

          Best wishes!

        3. Tulip

          I don’t need to roofie him. He’s very definitely dtf

          1. banginglc1

            The roofie isn’t for the sex, it’s to be a stalker and go through all his stuff.

          2. DrOtto

            Good plan, Cardi B his ass.

    3. MikeS

      The reason you even told us is because you want us to tell you not to.

      So don’t do it!

      1. Tulip

        No, more a -probably dumb- feeling I should be honest about how online dating goes.

        1. MikeS

          OK. But still…watch yourself. Have fun, but watch yourself.

          1. Tulip

            See above.Google voice, plus I tell a friend where I’m going and when I will check in

          2. Live feed on Glibs. I could set that up.

          3. Tulip

            Umm, no. Nobody, except this guy, wants to see that

          4. You’d be surprised . . . Rule 34 and all.

          5. Spudalicious

            We’ll need a video feed.

          6. Fourscore

            Tulip, it seems like all the glibs are acting like your big brothers, how can you have any fun with these guys hanging around?

          7. Tulip

            I know right

          8. Old Man With Candy

            Except P Brooks.

          9. Tulip

            He ran away and ignored me even though I flirted had.

          10. banginglc1

            it seems like all the glibs are acting like your big brothers

            Except P Brooks.

            Maybe that’s why he’s not into it?

          11. MikeS

            I meant more long-term; have some (or a lot of) fun, but don’t fall for a bad guy.

    4. Just ask to borrow OMWC’s van and comb the high school football games tonight. If you’re going to make a mistake, it might as well be young, virile, and leave you no doubt that it will ruin your life. .

    5. westernsloper

      How do you not know that you labeling him as “bad idea guy” is just some sort of preconceived notion of failure ingrained by past experiences that were really due to stars and planets not being aligned? I really think to be scientific about this you should wait until Sunday for Not Adahns scientific readings.

    6. On a similar note, I’m chatting with two different girls on Tinder right now. They’ll probably end the conversation soon. I have no idea how to make a conversation flow online and it all seems very awkward.

      1. Tulip

        Try to think of it as a conversation. Even though it doesn’t flow. What is the first thing you would say?

        1. Tulip

          I think I got this, since most guys I talk to do want to meet

          1. I thought they wanted to fud.

          2. Tulip

            I don’t talk to them

        2. banginglc1

          I’m not sure I’m good at conversations either. Anxiety and social awkwardness don’t seem to be working in my favor.

          1. Tulip

            But you can think about what to say

        3. R C Dean

          “What is the first thing you would say?”

          Wannafud?

          1. banginglc1

            This is why I’m reluctant to ever ask you folk for advise.

        4. Tulip

          No, I ask their favourite movie or book. Then besides that what do they like to do

          1. Don Escaped Texas

            agreed

            but books can stray from light and frothy; early must be light and frothy; easy = dumb stuff . . . depends on your age . . . maybe: Seinfeld or Friends? Favorite episode, favorite character.

        5. banginglc1

          The one I like better (based on her profile) just messaged me back so I’ll just crowdsource my response:

          BLC1: Hi, I’m BLC1. How are you?

          Her: Hey! I’m good, how about you?

          BLC1: I’m doing well. Just enjoying a quiet Friday night (the first in a while). Have you had a busy summer?

          Her:I have, my bestie and I had a lot of fun since we are both single.

          Reply with your suggestion or comments.

          1. Spudalicious

            “What do you like to do for fun?”

          2. DrOtto

            This guy is picking up what she’s laying down.

          3. Nephilium

            Ask where her and her friend have gone/done over the summer. Bars, clubs, beaches, hikes, ultramarathons, parks, etc. Give some information as to why your Fridays have been busy if you wish.

            Example: “Good deal. What have you been up to? I’ve been stuck on call at work for the past four weekends.”

          4. Sensei

            Smooth…

            I’m happy not to have to worry about this.

          5. Nephilium

            I’ve done time in consulting and sales. I can be charming (especially if I have time to think about responses and plan out a path for the conversation), but it’s a lot of work. It’s a skill I’ve used to become a regular at several bars even if I’m only there once every month or two.

          6. Suthenboy

            Same here. I got over my ‘fun’ stage 25 years ago and decided enough grief is enough. I was either going to stay single or be patient and find the right one. It paid off in a big way. Now my life is peaceful and I am contented. Wife and I spend all of our time together, never had a single fight and any task we undertake is like two bodies with one mind moving through it.

          7. Yeah, that’s creepy as fuck, but to each their own, Party on Garth!

          8. banginglc1

            My reply: What have you and your friend done this summer? Any good stories? I’ll update with her reply when/if I get one. I almost went with Hyp’s suggestion, but decided to save that for the first date.

          9. banginglc1

            Her: We have been to France park a few times. We go out to bars a lot

            Honestly, I think she might be starting to lose me. She’s 32. I’m not sure I need a 32 y/o bar hound, . . eh, I’ll keep the conversation going, I don’t have anything invested yet and I could judging a little too early.

            Now, back to the suggestions.

          10. Nephilium

            If you’re still interested, ask which bars she likes to go to. I don’t know what France park is, I’m assuming it’s a local thing.

          11. banginglc1

            Update: She’s definitely a wild one. Probably not what I’m looking for, but like Tulip, I;m a glutton for punishment.

          12. westernsloper

            “Bestie? Who uses that word? Are you 13 or an FBI agent?”

          13. Spudalicious

            I know women that use that term. They tend to be fairly shallow.

      2. Ask if they are into anagrams.

        1. Not Adahn

          That’s one of those NLP techniques to get them thinking about “anal,” isn’t it.

          1. banginglc1

            Analgram . . it’s like instagram,but shittier.

          2. Spudalicious

            That sucks ass.

      3. Suthenboy

        People like to talk about themselves. Get them to do that. Ask about them.

        1. Fourscore

          Like what kind of powder they use with a .308 and a 150 grain boat tail? See, if you can find out what they are interested in plus maybe get a load that’ll take antelope out to 300 yards. Win-win

          1. R C Dean

            300 yards is child’s play for off the shelf .308.

      4. blackjack

        First step, make excuses for previous drug busts, I hear that’s a popular move.

      5. Tulip

        I’m not a pretty woman, but I’m getting lots of attention. Say something related to her profile. That gets my attention and

          I have seen little to no evidence that this works although I hear women suggest it all the time.

          I’ve had an OK Cupid account pretty much since it started. Over the years I have messaged maybe 1000 women, got maybe a dozen polite thanks but no thanks answers and half that many conversations that lasted a couple of days to weeks. Never once actually met anyone face to face

          1. You’re in the 80% of “Below Average” males, clearly.

          2. CPRM

            I’ve met one, I thought false advertising was illegal, but I guess not.

          3. banginglc1

            This mimics most of my experience as well. Out of probably 1k emails I’ve sent: approximately 20ish conversations. 4 dates (usually with women who have misrepresented themselves). 1 woman I actually likes (who wanted nothing to do with me). And 1 escapade (fat girl, but it was my first after my divorce and it ended a slump (physical and mental), so still worth it.
            But at least it let’s me constantly remember what rejection feels like!

    NYT, standard of truth.

    “We built our newsroom to cover one story(Russia hoax) , and we did it truly well. Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story. I’d love your help with that. As Audra Burch said when I talked to her this weekend, this one is a story about what it means to be an American in 2019. It is a story that requires deep investigation into people who peddle hatred, but it is also a story that requires imaginative use of all our muscles to write about race and class in a deeper way than we have in years.”

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/08/new-york-times-meeting-transcript.html

    It looks like the propagandists are switching gears to stoke the racial hatred fires.

    1. R C Dean

      “we did it truly well”

      I got nuthin. It failed as propaganda, and it failed as reporting. Bigly.

      1. Atanarjuat

        At least they managed to stay humble through it all.

    2. westernsloper

      Pretty sure they did that two weeks ago.

      but they jeer at us when we take on Joe Biden,

      And this is why the NYT is a fraud as a newspaper and a disgrace to journalism. Biden and his kid should be 100% open game for investigative reporting on influence peddling. There are actual reporters out there but they do not work at places like the NYT’s. They need to die a slow painful death or come clean as DNC propaganda.

    3. Scruffy Nerfherder

      Did they pass the Flavor-Aid around after that speech?

  9. Not Adahn

    I don’t understand Tlalib’s play here. The obvious thing would have been to go visit granny, and “just happen” to participate in lots of judenhass events while she was there. She could dare the Israelis to stop/expel her and either gain cred for standing up to the ZOG or become a martyr for being kicked out of the country.

    Unless she really thinks Trump would let the Israelis imprison her for realsies. In which case, the mad dog strategy paid off.

    1. Scruffy Nerfherder

      The objective is to have yet another victimhood cred.

      It makes her even more correct in all her pronouncements.

    2. Hyperion

      “I don’t understand Tlalib’s play here.”

      She’s a hateful and totally brainless idiot. There really is nothing else to understand.

      1. blackjack

        This. She hates jews in an all encompassing way. She’s willing to wreck herself for it. It’s amazing that the Dems are glossing it over for her. She should have been toast a long while back for it.

    OMWC, SP, I’m catching up and saw the posts about OMWC’s mom. Sorry. Alzheimer’s is common on my mom’s side of the family: my grandmother and all of my grandmother’s siblings died of complications to Alzheimer’s. It’s not pleasant. Sorry.

    1. Old Man With Candy

      Thanks, homie. I’m sincerely touched by the support people here have given us.

      1. I mentioned it the other day. But you might look into microdosing her with Psilocybin. No one knows too much about it yet. I don’t think it will be any miracle cure, but, I don’t think it would hurt anything.

    I don’t know if this has been discussed. What do y’all smart fellers and ladies think about SpaceX bring awarded the asteroid detection contract by NASA?

    1. Hyperion

      I sort of feel this way about SpaceX. If we want to get anything done at all, out of low earth orbit, for not astronomical cost, we had better give it to people like Musk. Otherwise, it’s Space Shuttle redux for another 50 years.

      1. I’m Here To Help

        My brother likes to claim he helped Elon Musk build his first rocket. Brother was a counselor at Space Camp and Musk came there once. My brother helped him as he tried to build a multistage model rocket.

        That said, my brother can be an insufferable git. I routinely call him Al – he’s a Tesla driving climate alarmist who lives in a 6k square foot house with his wife and one child…

          1. Hyperion

            Wife and I were traveling a while back and she was wearing a corset like thing under her clothes. She was having a back problem and it was supposed to help. It had a lot of metal snaps all over it. I told her to not wear it, but she wouldn’t listen to me. Anyway, sure enough it set off all the alarms and she got felt up by TSA girl, who I am sure was thrilled. Want to be a fucking pervert who does nothing all day and gets paid? The government is looking for you.

            Hey!

            OK, fair point.

          2. Hyperion

            Sorry, bro, my wife is a lawyer also, just not in the USA, and my biggest client is one also, in the USA. I get sort of cynical sometimes, no offense intended.

          3. Jarflax

            I’m not unemployed. I just make less than I would if I became a pan handler.

            Just learn to handle that pan, my friend. You’ll do well.

          6. The weird thing about lawyers is when they go amoral, it becomes pathological. Your average liar lies to further their own interests. Your average lawyer lies because they know no better.

            I say this flippantly sometimes, but there’s a kernel of truth to it: I have a lower impression of lawyers after 3.5 years of law school and 2.5 years of practice than I had going in.

    Watched most of the Raiders/Cardinals pre-season game last night. Kyler Murry, LOL, who is the retard responsible for drafting this smurf? Why does this person still have a job in what’s left of the NFL? 3 for 8, for 12 yards, 2 sacks and a safety, against the Raiders 2nd string scrubs? Get fucking real, someone needs to get unemployed now for that clusterfuck of hair brained stupid.

  15. Hyperion

    So I bought a twelve of Yuengling Golden Pilsner. OK, this is NOT a pilsner, it has way too much hops in it. The closest thing to a Pilsner in the USA is probably Miller High Life. USA, for gawd’s sake, stop making IPA’s and calling them Pilsners or Lagers. Jeebus, fuck the what?

    1. Nephilium

      *sigh*

      I thought I knew you man.

      1. Hyperion

        Elaborate.

        1. Nephilium

          Good pilsners in the US (off the top of my head) Avery’s Joe’s Premium Pils, Victory Prima Pils, Sixpoint The Crisp, Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils, Great Lakes Turntable (or the Wright) Pils, and Founder’s (previously PC) Pilsner. All of which have fairly wide distribution and beat the shit out of Miller High Life. None of them are close to IPA’s.

          1. Hyperion

            Haven’t drank any of those, yet. My fav Pilsners, SKOL, DevassaTropical Lager, Antarctica, and Miller High Life.

    2. Spudalicious

      “The closest thing to a Pilsner in the USA is probably Miller High Life.”

      We need a cat butt over here!!!

      1. banginglc1

        I like High life. One of the best domestic beers out there. And 30 for $17.99. It’s hard to beat that for getting drunk beer.

        1. Hyperion

          Yeah, it’s good beer. I prefer Heineken or Stella Artois, but it’s good. Reminds me a lot of the Brazil beers, SKOL and Devassa.

        2. Hyperion

          We have a dive package store near here where I can get an 18 of MHL for $12.

      2. Hyperion

        A cat butt for the truth. OK. Catbutt me. e

        1. I don’t have a cat. The closest thing to pets I have are the damn house centipedes. They don’t stick around long enough to take a picture of their rear end.

      3. Seriously, Strohs OGTFO.

        1. banginglc1

          I frequented a bar in college that still had Stroh’s in bottle circa 2005. We tended to stay with the good beers, like Old Style and Old Milwaukee.

          1. Old Style is fine if you are looking for a krausened brew but Old Milldew id just a bad beer.

    3. DEG

      I…. I…. got nothing beyond that I haven’t tried Yuengling Golden Pilsner yet. I’ll pick some up next time I’m in PA. I’ll reserve judgement until then. I doubt it is anything like an IPA.

      1. Hyperion

        No, bud, you know me. It’s a lot like an IPA. It’s way too hoppy. I’ll drink it, but it’s what it is. But it’s all a matter of preference. It’s way too hoppy to be a pilsner, that’s not saying it’s not good, it’s OK, but I’ll take a real Pilsner over it anyday.

        1. DEG

          I’ll try it at some point.

          It’s odd to hear this, because I’ve heard Dick Yuengling say he thinks over-hopped beers are a bad idea. Every Yuengling recipe change/creation has to go through him.

          1. Hyperion

            I have to get some Devassa Tropical Lager (actually a pilsner) and drink with you. Then you’ll see what I am talking about.

          2. DEG

            OK, I’m game. Whenever that occurs.

          3. Hyperion

            Me too. I remember you telling me you go to Germany. We’ll be doing that a lot in the near future, we have to meet up.

  18. DenverJ

    I spent three days at the beginning of summer break shoveling manure, rototilling, and throwing grass seed, because there was a huge bare spot/sometime mid pit in the mide of the lawn at work. Not part of my official job, but it’s for the kiddos, right? So, the new grass is doing ok, the kids are back and enjoying it, and the sprinklers stop working.
    Call the guy, he comes out and points out a big hole dug around a valve box. But his company hadn’t dug it. Waste three days sorting the whole thing out, meanwhile new grass is dying. Turns out the dig was for a zone owned by the developer along the sidewalk, but we had paid to fix it.
    Anywhoos, we finally found the problem. The guy wanted 1200 bucks to replace a main valve. I told him we’d think about it. Investigated the system plans closer. Changed a $12 celluloid (and paid $15 for waterproof wire nuts). Took less than two minutes.
    Like a mechanic wants to replace your engine because the spark plugs are bad.

    1. banginglc1

      I’m having trouble understanding this . . .are you saying you water your grass? If you do that, how will you ever achieve that beautiful brown color that my lawn has ever August?

    Any Glibs going to Burning Man, you can look me up at Radio Electra (supposedly behind Center Camp, Rod’s Road @ 6:00) – playa handle is Rat Bastard.

  21. LJW

    A local radio station plays Clyde Lewis late at night. Every once in a while I tune in just to hear a lunatic rant on chem trails. I don’t think he’s stepped into the gay frog territory yet. Tonight I tuned in and he was ranting about ANTIFA and how the medias lack of coverage helps them. Damn it I turned in to hear crazy talk not reality.

  22. DenverJ

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR DIGBY !!!!!!!!!!!
    (Apparently, he’s turning 22)

    1. We allow children on Glibs?

      1. DenverJ

        Well, i’m here…

        1. Sir Digby: Fake Purse Ninja

          And, I’ve apparently lost 26 years, so….maybe?

          /I keed, cs!

      2. banginglc1

        22 isn’t a child . . oh wait, I forgot, they changed it to 26. Digby, you’ll need to send a permission slip from your parents to continue late night posting.

        1. banginglc1

          Also, happy birthday. Just imagine, 22 years and 9 months ago, you’re parents were getting it on.

    So many times I want to share my own videos, but I can’t; so again The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra.

    1. Sir Digby: Fake Purse Ninja

      Is there a story regarding the “can’t”? Contractual shit? Likeness issues?

      1. CPRM

        The world is shit. It’s one thing me making content here that could threaten my job; it’s another for me to out myself and lose my job job. People fucking suck.

        1. Sir Digby: Fake Purse Ninja

          ::Nods semi-knowingly::
          Those people? I hope to never meet them.

        2. And people wonder why I value my job security overmuch.

          Yeah, my managers would probably not like this site, but the most they could do is get it blocked by the proxy.

          If they fired me for political views, I’d get a payday in the lawsuit settlement.

    2. Suthenboy

      Saw the Portland Mayor on teevee the other night. He was talking a good game about enforcing the law, not allowing violence etc and the whole time all I could think of was ‘lying commie pos’.

      This move is unsurprising. They will just try to shut one side down and let Antifa off of the leash.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        He and a bunch of “organizations” signed an open letter decrying violence and such. Most of the orgs were government agencies and departments that have no business weighing in one way or another, but why should they confine themselves to their supposed bailiwick.

  26. Rufus the Monocled

    I went to the Twitter account and spotted one Bishop Talbert Swan ranting like a lunatic about Trump being a racist and a rapist. I go to his account and sure enough, dude hates wypippo. Projection all kinds.

    Twitter leaves this piece of shit alone.

      @TalbertSwan
      If ONE white woman accused me of rape my career would be OVER.

      A white man accused of rape by TWENTY TWO women being able to run for a 2nd term as POTUS, with half the country still supporting him, is all you need to know about racism, white male patriarchy and white supremacy.

      Yeah, a pastor is supposed to be moral. Also, if 22 women accuse you of rape and can’t gain as much traction in the left wing media as the women who accused Bill Clinton of rape, maybe there isn’t much there there.

      Well, Disney already killed Captain America, no reason they’d let him stick around.

    3. MikeS

      I was never very impressed with Peter Fonda. Sad for his family, but I really wonder how much attention would have been paid to him if he had been some nobody’s kid.

      Or, I’m an idiot and he was a gifted actor.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        That’s like 60% of Hollywood.

      2. Sir Digby: Fake Purse Ninja

        Why not both, right?

        No, nothing wrong with not being impressed with him. I, personally, prefer Peter Strauss. But, Fonda was still OK in my book, too.

    4. Tundra

      Huh.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      ?

      The public charge rule has to do with legal immigration. Illegal immigrants have neither a visa or greencard, by definition, so I don’t see how the rules on determining if one should be issued a visa or not have anything to do with whatever it is you’re talking about.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        You’re right.

      I’ve got tons of stories but I’m more of an anecdote/non sequitur guy. I lack the focus to be able to deliver a cogent tale that would be up to Glib standards. It’s the same with art. I was really good at drawing but I had to be hermetically sealed away from the world for hours and days on end to accomplish anything. Pot helped.

        1. Festus

          Now I feel the confusion and the shame. I will go to the box.

    So the insurance adjuster shows up and she is a milfy smoke-show. I’m trying to rewire my hungover brain to comprehend the ins and outs of liabilities, deductibles, contractors and the like and I can’t stop glancing surreptitiously at her yoga-toned bum. Good thing Wifey was there because I kind of lost focus when she climbed the step ladder to peek in the attic. Looks like we’re gonna have to endure a couple of weeks of hell unless they find mold, in which case there might be a mysterious electrical fire in the near future for Casa Festus.

    1. straffinrun

      I wouldn’t throw out an old MILF based on a little mold in the attic.

      1. Festus

        Don’t you always translate that term as MIRF? She had the body of a twenty year-old but must be pushing forty. Fun Fact- She’s the same lady that Wifey bought the sofa from. What are the odds?

        It’d look good on a T-shirt. One of the funnier “No Fear” logos that I saw back in the 90’s was “Party Til She’s Cute!”
