Usually when the skies are empty, I figure it’s just a whim of orbital mechanics. But it’s very unusual to see things this quiet two weeks in a row. So to pad things out I’m going to incorporate a controversial construction. The obvious bit is the alignment with the moon being between the Earth and the sun. This happens every month and is a generally energizing thing (though less so than the equally common Sun-Earth-Moon arrangement. The extremely rare Earth-Sun-Moon alignment portends the extinction of all life on the planet). So to save us from tedium, we’re going to look at a quasi-alignment, thus:
See how neither Jupiter nor Saturn quite lines up, but they both almost do, and in equal but opposite ways? That last bit is what transforms it from “random shit I just made up” to (debatably) “confirmed astrological science.” Now these equal and oppositional forces don’t negate each other (otherwise they wouldn’t be present to be read) but rather you combine them as vector multiplication (see Math = SCIENCE!) and generate a new influence in the direction of the cross-product. When you combine that with the male/female dynamic embodied by Mars/Venus, the surface-level interpretation is “Government enacts new population control measure.” And surface-level analysis is all you’re going to get from me today, the brain is pretty worn out from not sleeping right for two weeks. So expect GND, increased funding for contraception/abortion, reducing parent subsidies and anything else that inhibits the conception of new humans.
Libra’s got a whole passel of goodness, not only grabbing the typical inner planets (for love and luck) but also the moon (for that extra bit of good fortune). What they don’t have is Mars, so while everything is going your way, don’t fuck it up by being too aggressive. On that note, Mars is in Virgo, so expect unjustified aggression and various bits of cuntery.

Dammit. Even the cards know I should be working on homework today.
Wait…what kind of service are we talking about? #nohomo
Cups, cup-bearer = Ganymede.
Oh great. Well, if he did my accounting homework for me, I’d consider it.
Zeus did have good taste in butt boys; it is known. They were not selected for their intellectual prowess, however.
Zeus would stick his cod in a bunghole.

LOL!
I often wonder if my humor is too subtle.
Ya, that got an lol here too.

Documented here.
Ohhhhh it really is the Church of the Chiefs today!
Stake Conference ala day off. The Mormons amongst us will understand.
I walked Bella at the LDS church about an hour ago and it looked pretty full to me, nice place too, grass in the desert,
Each “parish” (ward) and “diocese” (stake) has its own schedule. Today, my stake is having a huge meeting, which we do twice a year. My family generally considers this a day off from church. It occurs around the time of our church-wide general conference which happens on the first Sunday of April and October. We also consider that a day off from church.
I’m truly humbled, I can’t find the words to express my gratitude, Thank You all
Were you able to get the leg?
So Glibs were able to ….. Give him a leg up?
Hell Yes they did!
I have to wait till tonight, We are watching the kids and Wendy said, NO your not leaving until daughter comes back, so Tonight.
I have tears in my eyes just thinking how kind Glibs can be.
Fuck off Tulpa!
But seriously, I was out of the loop all week. What’s going on?
needed gas money to go get my Wife’s Prosthetic leg,
a very nice group of people helped me out, We call them Glibs,
Aaaaah. Superb!
Excellent! It really is a great group of people.
Missed that, myself. Glad it worked out.
Sorry I missed that.
Same.
Yusef, I’m sorry I missed you, but I’m glad you got what you needed.
I missed it since I dropped off last night to head out. I’m glad things worked out.
Oh shit, I didn’t see it. Sorry, we would have been happy to pitch in.
Is that a Guardians of the Galaxy reference?
which one?
First. I haven’t been on all week so I am in the dark to what you are talking about but it sounds good. Glad good has came your way. Good is good!
I feel like I missed something. Regardless, hope things are getting better for you That.
it comes from Sir Digby’s late night show, last evening
I will do my best to make this come true.

Dude, you need some new material. Show us on the doll where the Capricorn touched you.

The resistance shall continue.
Capricorn’s are literally Hitler.
That’s logical. It checks out.
Virgo’s went through that all summer
First of all, don’t blame me for your choice in birthdates.
Second of all, I already mentioned that this was going to pass on March 21, 2020. Then Aquarius gets to be the butt-boy.
Only about 1/2″ of snow so far. It’s also only 33 degress so the snowpocolypse will likely avoid us.
Montana is a big state and the weather can vary a lot. The various mountain ranges affect it a lot. We live in the precipitation shadow of a range and get relatively little rain or snow. It’s remarkable how much the vegitation can change when you cross over a ridgeline.
the Mohave Desert agrees….
80s & sunny ?here.
Beautiful.
we get up to 82 today, nice clear skies, what I finally noticed about living here is no Jets, Freeways or trains so it’s very quiet, also no sirens or Ghetto birds overhead
60s, sunny, breezy, with orange and yellow leaves here.
We’re going to the Poconos in two weeks. Hoping we timed it right for maximum foliage colors. There’s a 2.5 hour train ride we’re going on. It should be nice to get away. Even for just a couple days.
Sunny with Trade Winds. Currently 77, low was 70 and high should be 82.
Another bunch of Apple Bananas will ripen this week. First pomegranates picked and rest over the next couple of weeks.
About 70 with a slight breeze. The palm fronds are the same color as always.
One of the nice things about living in the Catskills is that I don’t have to go far for fall foliage.
The only bad thing is that hunting season begins before peak color.
82F and 74% humidity. Sticky as hell.
What’s the dewpoint?
No idea, but my hands are sticky.
?
Mr. Mojeaux says “ouch.”
I don’t dew nuttin when it that hot and humid.
It’s supposed to be back in the mid 90s here by Tuesday.

That last bit is what transforms it from “random shit I just made up” to (debatably) “confirmed astrological science.”

Someone mentioned paw paws a few days ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b6Ojpeb-oQ
They aren’t bad. Texture of peaches, taste like banana.
It’s Paw Paw season here in Virginia. I usually go out in the woods and find one just so I can say I foraged.
Some folks make Paw Paw Preserves.
Gross.
Blech.
Most fruits and vegetables, I probably would be okay with the flavor, but texture is what triggers my gag reflex.
“what triggers my gag reflex”
Now you’re just slut-shaming me. LOL.
Would I do that?
/Urkel
Might have been me; I had one for the first time the other day. Bloody delicious. Someone mentioned paw paw ice cream… I’m drooling.
Project for next week. Eat a Paw Paw on video for You People.
You better have the proper musical accompanying it.
When I hunted deer in NC I looked forward to picking paw paws for a quick snack.
Thus far, the Lions seem equal to the task.
They looked pretty tough on their own goal line.
Thanks for the Cam newton link last night, Spud. Just one of many reasons Cam is sucking. I just really hope the team rests him for a while, and then cuts him at the end of the season.
Kyle Allen may not and does not need to be the long term answer for the Panthers QB, but neither is Cam
No problem. He isn’t my favorite QB.
Sorry OMWC, it’s looking like a game today.
One hell of a a game at that.
Bizarro World
Browns are number 1!
I’m just hoping Landry is back soon.
Did I mention how much I hate paper straws?
Those “candy” straws with the sugar in them should be proof enough as to the inferiority of paper straws
I always used a rolled up bill of whatever denomination.
Larf
Well it isn’t paper. It is 75% cotton and 25% linen. Make sure your Jefferson is facing out at the audience.
Plant fiber. Whatever. Also, waxed?
Fun fact- there’s a facility north of Dayton that makes the currency paper. Seems getting the paper correct is the toughest part of counterfeiting. They have zero scraps. Nada. Anything not used gets incinerated (thats where I come in).
Tres cool, Tres Cool.
but the weather is nice,
“LIBERAL PAPER STRAWS DON’T WORK!”
Still makes me laugh.
I vaguely recall a book or dissertation I read years ago that extolled the plastic straw as an absolute marvel of engineering. It took a great deal of money and many, many man-hours to come up with a straw that didn’t trap tiny air bubbles all along its length thus floating out of the glass.
So I guess the group think consensus is that since Clemson didn’t actually loose to unranked UNC , that it shouldn’t be dropped in the rankings too much.
That’s what I see during college basketball or espn’s click bait NFL power rankings. If you are supposed to be a top team, do a poor job, but still manage the win the rankings aren’t hurt
Yeah. Really if you’re the #1 team and you are in a situation where you have to stop the unranked team from making the 2-point conversion to keep them from winning, you probably shouldn’t be in the top 5.
Are you kidding me, Vox?
New York State Rifle, moreover, offers someone like Kavanaugh the perfect vehicle to upend the consensus framework because the (now repealed) rule at the heart of this case imposes only a minimal burden on gun owners.
New York offers two kinds of handgun licenses. A “carry” license permits gun owners to carry a handgun for “target practice, hunting, or self-defense.” Meanwhile, a less permissive “premises” license permits a gun owner to “have and possess in his dwelling” a handgun. Premises license holders, however, may only bring the gun outside of their home for limited reasons, which include bringing the gun to seven specific gun ranges to practice shooting.
The plaintiffs in New York State Rifle, each of whom has a premises license, raise a very narrow challenge to this framework. As a federal appeals court explained, some of them “seek to transport their handguns to shooting ranges and competitions outside New York City.” One of them also owns two homes, and he wishes to be able to transport one gun between those two homes.
New York State Rifle, in other words, involves what Judge Higginson described as a “less onerous law” that governs “conduct outside of the Second Amendment’s ‘core.’” This isn’t a grand showdown over when and where people can carry guns — or whether they bring a gun into their own home. It’s a small legal dispute about little more than whether lawmakers can require certain gun owners to practice shooting at certain specified gun ranges.
“What are you complaining about? The State of New York has graciously granted you the “right” to own a gun, and keep it in your home. You can sleep with your gun under your pillow, you weirdo. What more do you want?”
What a steaming pile of dog shit.
Now do smart phones.
I noticed an ad for Weedmaps on the left hand side of this piece,
https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/09/27/vaping-illness-probe-focuses-on-thc-products/
Also, from that Vox thing, something i was not previously aware of:
Heller, however, was hardly a total victory for advocates of gun rights. Indeed, Justice Antonin Scalia’s majority opinion is riddled with caveats. Heller suggests that “longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms” all remain valid, as are bans on “dangerous and unusual weapons.”
In a November interview with the New York Times’ Adam Liptak, Stevens revealed that Kennedy asked for “some important changes” to Scalia’s original draft of the Heller opinion. At Stevens’s urging, Kennedy requested language stating that Heller “should not be taken to cast doubt” on many existing gun laws. Without Kennedy’s intervention, in other words, Heller may not have included the important language limiting the scope of the Second Amendment.
Stevens (that odious homunculus) arm,-twisted Scalia into that bullshit about “reasonable restrictions” on my rights.
This is not your Heller court anymore.
That’s nothing new. The Court loves the “reasonableness” test.
I would not be surprised if the Supreme Court upheld New York’s laws under Heller. Thank you Scalia and Kennedy!
The biggest thing the SCOTUS can do is say that laws against the 2nd Amendment deserve the same level of scrutiny as those that infringe on the 1st Amendment. Before Heller they were only given “rational basis” review, which meant that if the government could come up with any reason that could maybe make some sense, they won. After Heller there was some confusion, but it was known that courts had to give some level of scrutiny. Unfortunately most judges have applied “Intermediate Scrutiny”, which means: “I’ll be tough on laws i don’t like, and then apply Rational Basis on laws i do like”. 1st Amendment cases are given “Strict Scrutiny”.
Today I had a date so bad that I was sad that I wasted a drycleaned shirt on it.
That’s why I stick with raisins.
How bad was it?
/Matchgame
It was just sad. He’s only a few years older than me but already in poor health. Not intellectually engaging. Swishy.
You coulda started and ended there.
I don’t get it i’ve had plenty of great dates with girls who weren’t intellectually engaging. /snark
On one hand, you had a date.
On the other hand, when I think back to some bad dates I wished I had never gone on, I sympathize.
On the gripping hand…. I think given my hangover and fails at making jokes today I should stop here.
And fortunately it was only brunch, so easy to escape afterwards.
But at least it wasn’t as bad as the date where I burned rubber in the parking lot after dropping her back home to send a message; thanks, Toyota Tacoma TRD PreRunner!
Ouch.
I have a two way tie for worst dates.
One was a woman who was rude to the wait staff, rambled on about herself revealing that we had nothing in common, and never thanked me for paying. We ran into each other once or twice after the date, and she tried to get me to ask her out a second time. Nope.
Second was a woman that had just gotten out of an eight year relationship. I could tell she was a train wreck, but asked her out anyways. She was also rude to the wait staff. When she wasn’t rude to the wait staff, she spent her time bitching about her ex.
Oh, those are both terrible.
I think my worst Date was one in my early 20’s where i had to play 20 questions with the girl to get her to talk with me.
I remember one like that. Turns out, some people have a completely different personality sober vs. drunk. Who knew??
I’ve only ever been on a few. Prolly the worst was on day two of that LA riots. I had a bitchin 66 chevelle with a hot rod shifter that was hard for strangers to operate. We pulled up to the laugh factory on sunset blvd and the valet grabs my keys. Just then a huge mob with signs come marching right at us. I’m trying to get the valet to shift it, but he couldn’t figure it out. Finally, I pulled him out and did a huge burn out to get my car off the street before the violence jumped off. Got it parked, went inside and there really wasn’t any comedy, just lamenting and politics. We were stuck in there for a few hours until the crowd dispersed. Fun times.
I’ve rarely had a problem with them being too silent (both sexes).
My worst date was what I call my Faulkner date — a stream of consciousness coming out of her mouth most of the time. And most of it was about her, and not interesting.
Ouch.
For those of you saying HM is was an asshole, i’d like to remind you that he hast to deal with these argumentsin his daily life.
Worse, he is the father of a teenage girl.
Wow- that was a heads-up play.
I looked down at my Kindle after the stop just before the goal line, look up and see a lone dude running into the end zone and Mr. Mojeaux wasn’t screaming, so I was like, Whu?
I flip over to the Bills game every five minutes or so and every time, I see our QB getting sacked. Amazingly, it’s only a 3 point game for now.
And three interceptions….
Five lost fumbles. But the return for a TD was a heads up play.
This a sloppy game, but they are keeping the interest up.
Today I had a date so bad that I was sad that I wasted a drycleaned shirt on it.
You went to lunch with STEVE SMITH?
“[…]perversity, vice, depravity[…]”
Do tell!
*runs away giddily*
“Congratulations! Zeus needs a new cupbearer! Report to Mt Olympus at once for orientation.”
I don’t even know what a date is, anymore.
It’s where you shop on the internet for the used item that looks least smelly and broken; then are disappointed when you actually see it.
Heh. Though it assumes you get that far.
Oh, lately the thing seems to be to “ghost,” to express interest online, setup a date one or two days hence, then complete radio silence thereafter.
WTF?! Dudes, stop fumbling the ball!!!
I got to the last thread too late, but I wanted to get my response to you, whether or not it is worth much.
I love the 2 hour block and also don’t understand the rebrand. Church starting at 2 is brutal, regardless. Ministering is great, as long as the local leaders don’t force it back to being HT/VT. I think Come Follow Me is a good change from the old repeated manuals, but it isn’t perfect. After being in YM for 6 years, I’m convinced that YW advisers are much less likely to let the YW have a voice and do things in their classes, to the detriment of the YW. We had stake conference last week, which had a really weird message from the Stake President about dating, and a continual fight with our 18 month old son.
And correlation is just the worst.
Have you read any of Adam Miller’s works? He is a breath of fresh air after so many years of McConckieism. I’ve also been reading a book by a Christian author called “The Sin of Certainty.” It’s ok, but I think the overall message is one the church overall could use.
My kid was hammered all summer school by her YW prez to minister to someone in a town quite a ways away. XX kept telling her she couldn’t because summer school was kicking her butt. Finally, she said, “Is the bishop after you for numbers?” “Yeah.”
Just this week she got a letter almost commanding her to go minister to these people in this town quite a ways away. There was no “Can you do this?” Just, “Do this.” Firstly, I object to the tone. Secondly, how do you command a kid who may or may not have access to a car to do something? Check with the parents first.
You have no idea how right you are. Last week was a revelation for XX. My mom and I aren’t shy about sharing our opinions in either GD or RS. So XX had something to say. I told her to say it. She was listened to. Her opinion was considered. It wasn’t agreed with by somebody, but there was discussion. Being listened to and her opinion considered as valid was enough for her. AND nobody said, “Hey, you’re supposed to be in YW.” It gave me a new lease on life with RS. She is so done with YW.
Come Follow Me messed up seminary curriculum. I decided she didn’t have to go this year.
There must be a lot of confessing to a lot of serious stuff, then.
I have not, but I’ll check it out.
Don’t even have to read it to know the church needs it.
What I find difficult to hear/deal with is the opinions of the really old folks, which includes the leadership. (More about that later.) They are still in a world of dressing up to take a plane ride and think that anybody wearing less than a modest shirtwaist and white gloves shouldn’t be at church. RS (where XX stated her opinion) was “Girls need to dress appropriately,” and she correctly said, “Why are we responsible for what the boys want to look at?” The conversation proceeded predictably.
So. Leadership. Why did President McHottie (Uchdorf) get fired/demoted?
Most of what is seen as doctrine is just lessons in propriety. The leadership is stuck in 1950s WASP country club culture.
I hate the command rather than request. That seems beyond overbearing in that situation, especially when ministering can now be a phone call/text/etc. rather than a danged hour visit.
The modesty discussion is broken and I don’t know how to fix it. The approach my wife started (and I’ve followed) with our kids is to ask them if they are presenting their best self and leave it at that.
In regard to Uchtdorf, my faithful side says it is because Oaks was next in line and hadn’t really spent any time in the FP. And since he had Pres. Nelson had been seatmate for so long, he wanted to give Oaks the leg up. My less faithful side is because he was either too popular and too willing to not tow the lion as needed.
The leadership and age is going to be a continuing problem until there is an emeritus apostle. The Q15 all seem to be in remarkable health for their age. And despite his faults, if I live to be 92, I’d hope I’d be as healthy as Pres. Nelson. I do think there was a vacuum with Pres. Monson that allowed Pres. Eyring and other apostles get pet projects through rather than focus on what they should. I don’t know how to change that, other than hope your local leaders are more forward thinking and it eventually trickles up.
Shattered.
Oh, one more thing about the leadership and age.
We are not even dealing with the boomers here. We’re dealing with the silent generation (1928-1945). They do not want to let go and they cannot keep up.
I thought you were talking to Tonio’s date.
[golf clap]
Just started watching the Lions/Chiefs. Already seen two fumbles.
Just cracked one of these. I give it a meeeh I won’t pour it out but not great rating.
I made the big mistake last night of going from a COTU Pocahoptas IPA (nom, nom) to a Devils Backbone Vienna Lager. The Vienna Lager was delicious on its own merits, but a harsh stepdown from the hoppity goodness of the IPA. However it kept me from overdrinking as I nursed the Lager forever.
I decided to nurse my hangover with black tea, lemon, honey, and a shot of White Tail bourbon.
I went out to a local bar and watched the Browns beat the Ravens. It was a glorious day, especially with the 59 cent wings.
Well i guess we’ve learned our lesson about jumping over people.
I think Kareem Hunt got that started 2-3 years ago. Now the leap-ees know better than to duck.
I liked the announcers: “No coach says, ‘Alright, we are going to practice our jumping over people today’”
Mr. Mojeaux and I both laughed.
Running backs have been jumping over knee tacklers longer than Kareem Hunt has been wiping his own butt.
See: Tony Dorsett
Those who don’t duck often get kicked in the head.
I just remember there was a huge WOW and fawning when he did it.
Yep, running backs have been jumping over stuff for a long time.
My first thought is always this.
First time I’ve seen mom.
https://youtu.be/5xs0LVBK1YQ
First time I’ve heard her speak. Yeah, something’s not right there.
Same here. I have a bad feeling that this girl is going to have a miserable, and possibly short, life. All the selfish fuckers encouraging this train-wreck should burn in hell.
They should be tortured here first. You know…as a warm up.
All the selfish fuckers encouraging this train-wreck should burn in hell.
This can’t be said enough. These assholes have decided to chew this girl up and use her for their envrio-political agenda. They don’t have any care for her well being. And they have the gal to lecture the rest of us about “Think of the children”. Everything that this girl has built angst about is completely made up. Even if everything in the science that the ICCP comes true, there is no reason to be so absolutely terrified of climate change.
This is how I feel about Joe Jackson and Michael Jackson.
MJ never had a chance. He was deliberately retarded/stunted. I do believe he was ever capable of making his own decisions, or even surrounding himself with decent people.
Janet Jackson had a bitter parting with her father when she was 18. Clearly she had enough emotional wiggle room to get out.
I do NOT believe MJ was ever capable of making his own decisions.
I read an article about him a few years ago. What stuck with me was him going into a shop in Vegas, and picking out items that totaled over $100k. After he left, his handlers looked at the shop owner and said, “no, he won’t be buying this stuff”.
Wouldn’t be buying it, in that he would refuse to pay for it or the stuff would be brought back?
That he wouldn’t be buying it, because he can’t make decisions for himself, and was impulsive.
Ah, okay. Sucks for shop owner, though.
It’s been argued here before that MJ was a grown man who should know better, but I don’t think he was ever a grown man and I think Joe Jackson is wholly responsible.
Sins of the father doesn’t just apply to intergenerational curses (see: Kennedys). I may or may not be that superstitious.
Aaannnd. Trubisky is out at the beginning of the game.
Dammit.
“no, he won’t be buying this stuff”
Unclear whether he left with the stuff or not.
If he did, then that was a warning shot to the merchant to expect returns. A ten percent restocking fee is not unreasonable, and they still legits gets to claim that MJ shops there.
If he didn’t leave with the stuff they were preemptively trying to avoid a breach of contract action. But again the merchant gets to legits claim that MJ shops there.
Of course I’ve rarely shopped places where I could reasonably assemble a 100K order that wouldn’t fit in a cart. (Wiring contractors excepted.)
It occurred to me after I asked for clarification that this was probably a high-end shop where you pick stuff out, leave, and expect it to show up in your hotel room by magic.
Yeah, I should have clarified. Although what he was buying would have been sent to Neverland.
Yanno, I wonder if those types of shop owners already know that and just indulge him while he’s there.
WTF?
At least we know where she gets the drama chops.
What the hell are the boots she has on ?
Reminds me of army ‘tanker boots’
It’s where you shop on the internet for the used item that looks least smelly and broken; then are disappointed when you actually see it.
Huh.

Spud; a re-comment (with minor editing) from last night in case you missed it:
I bought New Riff Straight Rye whiskey this weekend. I am not a good reviewer, but here it goes:
Nose: Vanilla…Oak?…pepper if you inhale deeply. (A LOT of pepper if you inhale too deeply)
Taste: starts smooth…then oak…then pepper…black pepper…then it starts to heat up a bit. Partly the 100 proof, partly that’s just how this rye is…but there’s more of it than others I’ve tasted. There’s a pepper-like “burn” that starts on the roof of the mouth and moves back towards the throat. It’s wonderful. Delicious. Amazing flavor.
That’s likely the worst review ever written.
I think I might have a
gooddecent analogy: New Riff is to Rye, as Islay whiskys are to Scotch. And it’s glorious.Is there also a Gay Rye Whiskey? No???? Homophobic!!1!
Yes. Bulleit Rye is gay…or was and now it’s anti-gay??? Not sure.
I did find a gay rum for you.
A fruity rum sounds awful. / I’ll see my self out.
That’s pretty gay alright, Mikey.
Not a huge rum fan, but the XO sounds pretty tasty for sipping.
Oh, I had forgotten about that PR shitshow. Ugh.
*severe eye roll*
Dammit, Rhywun, she is a minority. A unitary minority. And you trivialize her courage and struggle. No wonder you don’t get to hang out with Shikia at the better cocktail parties.
Sounds like someone pushing their way to the buffet filled with exotic meats.
Or hogging all the fruit sushi. Just saying.
OK. Today I’m coming out: I don’t know what the story is behind “fruit sushi”.
I feel better already.
OK. Today I’m coming out: I don’t know what the story is behind “fruit sushi”.
It’s OK. We’re still friends here.
It’s a reference to Robby Soave at reason.
I don’t remember the details but it is a reference to Soave being enamored of “fruit sushi” at some gathering.
I think it was ENB that tweeted or mentioned that Robby had to be cut off at a cocktail party.
Ah! Thanks, guys.
I was just heading out to the liquor store.
Guess what I got.
Some of the aforementioned gay-friendly rye?
Vodka, because I am almost out.
Oh, and also yes.
I’ve been drinking New Amsterdam 100 proof vodka lately. I like it.
Though Tito’s is still my go to for martinis.
Your last sentence matches your description. Sounds tasty!
Has anyone checked on OMWC? Cuz his Ravens are shitting the bed.
I tried but my internet must be broken because I never got through to him.
I thought they were supposed to have tight ends?
Lol.
My guess is he’s switched to whiskey while watching the game in his stained, tightie whities.
Nope. I was just cheering loudly at a local bar.
They didn’t just shit the bed, they rubbed the feces in.
What ya’lls need is Flacco back. I’ll pay for the bus ticket.
We need Weddle back.
What a catch by the lions.
Who are these people, and what have they done with the Detroit Lions?
Crap.
Hopes and expectations not met? It’s good not to have those. For me it’s, “Good job! You lost by less than 20 points!”

Not a Positive reason, but have you ever tried to dispose of a body?
Though i mean, if you have a trip to Dugway planed, that’s a place no one would be willing to go dig around looking for him… / I’m just kidding Preet.
No. It does seem difficult. Lots of cliffs here though.
It would be so easy…/Miss Danvers
Is his name Earl? Do you have black-eyed peas?
No, and yes?
Well, if we hadn’t totes planned this where Preet could see, I’d help you bury the body.
There are other ways.

But it is a lot of work. Maybe send him out to the parasailing spot by Black Beach will keep him out of your hair for awhile.
Y’all are the best.
Not even a reason for the need of such a deed?
One of you Glibs knows.
I bear it stoically most of the time but get a little weak at times.
55 gallon drum, a water hose, some cinder blocks to set the barrel up over a fire and about 25 lbs of sodium hydrox……hey you know what? I am just talking out of my ass. I have no idea how to dispose of a body.
Because you will be able to live you life with a clean conscience, and perhaps enjoy watching his self-inflicted decline and demise from afar?
I’ll go with this one.
Thanks, dude. Friends don’t let friends commit homicide.
Good friends help you bury the body.
depends
My wife got upset because i told her i wouldn’t help her bury a body.
Really? Well shit.
Unless you have a backhoe it is hard on your arms and back. You could have offered to bring her tea while she dug the hole.
Practical as always, Sir!
Semi-related: had a friend of mine from my Montana days. He was mentoring this mutual friend of ours who was in his late 20s. A few months after I left Montana my friend’s wife ran off with the kid my friend had been mentoring.
A month or so after that, as my friend tells the story, he was coming out of the local convenience store in mid-winter. Ran into a couple of local guys he knew. They asked him how he was doing and commiserated with him. Then one of them looked him in the eye and said something along the lines of, “you know, there’s a lot of valleys with deep snow up here. No way anyone will find a body until late spring.”
Again, as my friend tells it, he was very, very careful to not make any movement or facial expression that could in any way be interpreted as non-verbal assent.
That’s … not weird at all.
“So, what you are saying is, they will find the body”
I have an ex that was the corporate safety director for a heavy construction firm. She said one of her guys, when het daughter brought a guy home, didnt do the usual “gun-cleaning-in-the-living-room” bit. He struck up conversation, and worked it into, “ya know, they say cadaver dogs can smell a body buried 30 feet down. I have excavators that do 40′. “
Avoiding prison ?
Plus who would you plant your cold feet on during the knight ?
Other than that I got nothing.
If you can take some warm socks to prison with you I say go ahead with your bad self.
Kc v Detroit is good …
Mojeaux Right now
Yup.
Who would have thunk this game would be this good? Both teams are showing heart. and can’t hold onto a ball to save their lives.
I am too burnt from years and years of the Chiefs snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for me to believe in them after 5 minutes left in the game.
/invites Mojeaux to Cleveland.
*pats Nephilium on head*
There, there. It’ll get better.
I can’t believe that. I was broken at a young age.
I SAW MARTY!!!!
If they lose it’s because they didn’t give it to the guys on my FF team more.
Well, they won in spite of not giving it to the guys on my FF team more.

I’m listening to the call on The Fox and I keep wanting to hit the mute button.
Hats off to the Lions, though. They made Mahomes look positively human.
I KNOW, RIGHT?!
He looked pissy the whole game. I mean his facial expressions. My guess is he might be having girlfriend problems. Who knows.
Bradshaw et al felt it was a) playing in a dome (first time in career), b) crowd noise that wasn’t for him, c) indoor lights irritating him, and d) astroturf.
I would buy the dome and the lights.
Maybe. Another reason could be that he’s had so much smoke blown up his ass that he might feel a little more pressure or the Chiefs just had a lackluster day. It happens. The Lions also….
Fuck you, Goff(started him,two picks already)..
Anyway, The Lions aren’t nearly as bad as people thought they were.
I think he’s a good egg and he doesn’t strike me as someone who believes ALL his press. The Lions taught him a good lesson even so.
Oh, the kid’s got a level head. I’m not worried about him getting complacent. But the expectations are high. I mean, he still threw for around three hundred yards, won the game on a late fourth quarter drive and I’m bitching. There’s a lot of pressure on him.
Oh, right. Got it.
Me, I don’t believe in any one man that much. I can barely believe what he’s already done, never mind what he might be capable of.
Here’s to a Lions – Browns Superbowl. It would be epic!
bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *breaths hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Aaannd, Trubisky is out at the beginning of the game.
I haz a sad.
But Romo is on commentary so I haz a happy! He’s great.
I like Romo.
Yeah, his barely contained enthusiasm and knowledge of the game makes for a good broadcast.
They told him to quit calling and predicting plays so accurately when he first started.
He’d be a great coach.
8Really ?
I never heard that.
He must not have listened though because he was doing it with excellent results deep into the season.
As a lifelong Cowboys fan I love Tony Romo.
Undrafted and with some of the best come from behind stats in league history.
He gets much flak because he never had much post season success.
He did however have a winning career in spite of having an owner who thought it was more important to have splashy free agent signings of troubled bad boys than providing Romo with a decent offensive line.
It wasn’t until the end of his career when Jone’s son began to exert some influence and build a team on Ol and DL play.
Of Romo hadn’t gotten hurt his last season I firmly believe they had legitimate Superbowl aspirations.
They put a 4th round rookie QB in and still went 13 and 3.
My husband refused to lose faith. Me, too many years of last-minute choke losses. I have PTSD.
I really liked Denver during the Elway years. Do you remember those Mojeaux?
Oh yes, I remember the Elway years. I believe those were our Marty Schottenheimer years.
Sorry, just wanted to poke the bear. And yeah, Browns fans have far more reason to be angry, but if I poke them, I might enrage the Warty. Even after a win against the Ravens.
But yeah, the Schott was a good coach in the regular season. Playoffs? Not so much.
In any event, your guys have Mahomes and a solid team behind him. Denver has Flacco and… well…
I thought I liked you BP.
It’s so cute the way you football fans from places other than Ohio talk about disappointment.

“Patrick Mahomes”
You’re going to get very disappointed. Mahomes is not a very good QB, and he cannot withstand a good pass rush, see AFC playoff vs New England. Sorry to burst your bubble.
“good egg” == nice kid
As I said somewhere else in this thread, I have no faith that he is anywhere as good as his press. I have Chiefs PTSD.
Yeah, I know, I’m just fucking with you, because it’s fun. I was serious about Mahomes, but I’m a Raiders fan and we don’t currently have a pass rush, so it’s a moot point.
I knew there was something off about you.

Dude, you don’t know about the original Steve Smith/SF fiasco at TOS? Because if you don’t you’ve actually missed the funniest thing that has ever happened in the history of the intertoobs.
Nope . . .there was a good chance I was already a lurker by then, but I never saw the originator thread.
Dude, you need to do your homework, there is a reason that SF is an internet legend.If some else cannot step up to the plate, I can help you.
Even better, Warty was the one who observed that the original Steve Smith looked like “a shaved sasquatch.” SF ran with it.
Even funnier was the cricket story from last year about Steve Smith being found guilty of ball tampering.
There’s nothing funnier that the RapeSquatch saga. Nothing, ever, in history.

Beer? That’s one of the things Eurotards do better than us. Americans are apparently incapable of making a good lager.
Umm . . .I know it sounds German, but Americans make Budweiser.
It’s actually Czech. And the original is light years better than Bud.
“Americans make Budweiser.”
Yeah, that’s what I just said.
Budweis is the German name of the Czech city. And they were the majority of the population until the 1800s.
Americans make better beer than Euros these days.
Yeah, I dont’ think so. Unless you think shitty IPA is actually good beer.
There’s plenty of good lagers out there. They just aren’t widespread. And won’t be until this IPA craze calms down. (as long as it isn’t replaced with a sour/gose craze)

Other than bourbon barrel aging, I view this as a bad thing.
Not Adahn: The thin 12 oz cans exist. The only thing I can think of is that the cost of them is lower then the standard ones. Or it’s just so people can drink beers without being recognized as beer drinkers.
These guys make much-better-than-average cider, but use the skinny cans. It annoys me, but not enough to not drink it.

The stuff at the end with the continuum and those who truly understand it is what hit home most.
So leftist ideology is all about power and nothing else. Goddamn, you could knock me over with a feather right now.
There is a degree of naivete even in this article. This everything for power, all is moral if it advances us toward our goal mindset is far older than Leninism. You find it in the Jacobins during the terror. There are foreshadowings of it in the inquisition and the bonfire of the vanities.
The point I got from the article was that prior to this a government had to a least generate a rationale for their grasps for power. Even late empire Roman emperors had to justify their actions to, at the very least, the Praetorians, in some way that was vaguely anchored to reality. Lenin, it would seem, dispensed with the pretense and took advantage of our very human need for tribe and social acceptance.
Of course it is. Marxism is just an ideology custom-made to facilitate absolute power, one used very effectively by the Lenins, Stalins, Maos, Chavezs of the world on a scale both grand and petty. It is more sophisticated yet the end goal is no more complex than that of a claim of divine rights of rulers. The mindset has always been around, this is just the latest horror added to the totalitarian toolbox.
