Fall is coming early, and for some reason I sleep poorly during seasonal changes. Coupled with some effing robocaller sending me calls at 04:30 and I’m fairly well zonked. Thank goodness for three day weekends.
The signs this week are for zaniness, higgledy-piggledy and downright shenanigans. When Mercury and the moon line up with the sun, chaos is let loose upon the world. Fortunately Mercury is moving directly so we’re not expecting malice. This interpretation is further buttressed by the second involving the sun, to wit: Venus and the Earth. When you’ve got love and home added to the mix like that, it really calls for one thing: put a nylon tarp on the trampoline, and make a date with your lover and a bottle of baby oil.
So, Virgo:
https://youtu.be/tl3OCzeEMFY?t=40
You’ve pulled off the quinella. All the inner planets are belong to you. Everyone else can now hate you for a week or so, and demand some astrological redistribution. So make the most of it — do SOMETHING for heaven’s sake! Love, war, travel by water, travel by air, pretty much the only two things you won’t have auspicious signs for are governing and harvesting. So tax collectors can fuck right off. More than normal I mean. Sagittarius retains the king of the planets in its corner, so everyone else needs to play things straight, especially with Virgos running around a-whoopin and a-hollerin’.
The cards say that everything going to start off great then BAM! something really bad happens and the rest of the week is shit. I really hate draws like this when there’s an impending disaster in the news, because that gives the whole game away.

Leo: 4 of Wands reversed – Increase, beauty, embellishment, felicity

Prudery?! That’s a step too far.
Uh oh.
So, business as usual in a house with me, the dog and two women!
Sounds like business as usual for me too.
“So, business as usual in a house with me, the dog and two women!”
That could be good or bad. Dog, neutral. 2 women? If you’re sleeping with both of them and can keep them from fighting, good. If one is a teenage girl, bad.
A good friend of mine from Ye Olden Days of Yore has three girlfriends. All of them know about each other and are friends.
When his married friends express jealousy, he says, “Imagine having three wives. That’s what my life is like.”
I’ve got a friend who’s been living with two women for over a decade, both of whom prefer women. All three of them appear to be happy, hence, not my business.
“Imagine having three wives. That’s what my life is like.”
Imagine if all three of them decide to be sassy instead or horny at the same time. Just kill yourself now.
From the June 30th, 2019 edition of IFLA-
Not adahm says
Friday was a good day to turn it in.
1. You’re currently hosting Venus which will keep you in the good graces of others
2. The Moon in Taurus allows for change in leadership structures
3. Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius would be bad if you were going to advance yourself via a civil service exam or other protocol-based routes, but if you are relying on the Good ol’ Boy’s network or calling in favors, this works to your advantage.
Solomon’s Seal draw:
Past – King of Swords: violence, aggression, rule by force, domination
Present – Knight of Cups: I’m thinking this represents you. The Knight typically stands in for a young but fully adult male. Cups is a sign of bounty and realized happiness. According to this, you’re doing pretty well.
Future – 8 of Coins reversed – this card shows a craftsman at work. He is working outside a city. Since this is reversed, I read it as an end to manual work or in other words, you’ll get the job.
Aspects influencing the future:
10 of Swords, reversed – this card is a body pierced by ten swords. Since this is reversed, it shows what you will do, instead of what will be done to you. This path will lead to you making other people very unhappy. Swords are a suit of direct action. I’m guessing the new job will involve you firing people or laying them off?
8 of Cups reversed – this card is a man in a travelling cloak walking away from a fortune. If this card were upright, it would indicate that the new job would result in less overall bounty (or possibly love/happiness). But it’s reversed, so it indicates that this is ot the future path.
The Hermit – contemplation and isolation . In context is seems to emphasize that you’re going to have to do more thinking and you will have to pull away from others
Key card:
4 of cups reversed – this shows a young man sitting under a tree pondering three gold cups. A hand reaches out offering a fourth, but he is ignoring it. Upright, this indicates either a missed opportunity or a caution against overreaching one’s self or against taking a risk. Since it’s reversed, it indicates the opposite, that your instincts are going to serve you well. Since this matches the Knight of Cups from earlier, you have all the information you need to make the right decision here.
All I’m saying is, this guy knows his shit. Take him serious.
Gemini: 3 of Cups reversed – Expedition, dispatch, achievement, end
Sounds good until the last bit. “End” of what? Sounds bad.
Expedition, dispatch, achievement. You kicked ass on what ever you were doing, and now it’s ended. Time to move on and kick some new ass.
That is what I was thinking. End of what?
birth, family, origin
That sounds bad.
I’ll take it!
Libra: King of Coins – Valor, realizing intelligence, business and intellectual aptitude.
Well, ALRIGHTY THEN!
So tax collectors can fuck right off.
I like the cut of your jib.
Jeebus. Can you be more specific?
Amen!
The Tower is pretty much the worst card in the deck. In the Glib Tarot, it is going to be “The Sugarfree.”
I picked a bad week to be an Aries. Can I identify as something else please?
I sleep in and wake up to fifteen thousand comments between the evening links and now.
Made a confit of mushrooms yesterday which I will be using with steak and baked potatoes today, and any leftovers will be added to hashbrowns and eggs tomorrow.
Ooh, yummy.
Certainly the talent here could produce better stories I’m sure.

Do you want to get us shut down by the Secret Service? Because that’s how you get us shut down by the Secret Service.
In my literary world, that’d be slash fiction and I wouldn’t touch that.
Gross.
Ew.
Yuck.
Barack could feel the supple, tender squish that is unique to elderly man breast press between his shoulder blades as a raspy whisper warmly brushed past the stray hairs on his neck.
“Mr. President, this is yet another of my Vice Presidential duties,” Joe whispered in a slightly-too-earnest tone while slipping his hands under Barack’s arms and up his perfectly waxed chest. “I can fulfill desires that Michelle never could.”
Barack started to correct him, but instead sank into his sultry caress, throwing caution to the wind.
???
As I said:).
Damn it man. It’s too early to switch over to whisk(e)y… isn’t it?
Maybe the Russians taking over might not be so bad.
Ya, if that scenario made it into any fiction around here pretty sure Barry would be handing Joe a crisp twenty at the end of the scene.
“Libra: King of Coins – Valor, realizing intelligence, business and intellectual aptitude.”
Does this mean my hangover is going to go away soon?
It does if you realize the intelligence of the fact the best way to get rid of a hangover is to start drinking again, which increases valor and always helps with my intellectual aptitude.
Only if you start drinking at 10:00.
That’s a country song, right there.
OMG, look what the cat dragged in. She’s back. And we were just starting to restore our family friendly status.
I had to hurry back before that happened.
I’ve been on a writing binge.
Nice, good for you!
You know what they say. Talent not used is talent wasted… wait, no one said that, did they? Oh well, still it’s true. I wish I could write, if I could, I would be doing it. The ideas are there, but when they come out in actual words, it’s not what I wanted it to be. IOW, I suck at writing.
Writing is an art that seems easy to people because the barrier to entry is so low. EVERYONE has access to language. It’s not like math; we use words every day to successfully communicate. We are experts at using language. Too, EVERYONE has access to pencil and paper and if they don’t, they have access to their minds, where they can live in their heads.
What people don’t need is technical know-how (or at least, not much). The real talent/skill is storytelling. Some people are natural storytellers. Some people have to learn. Everybody has to learn the rhythm of storytelling.
It’s more than just the story telling gene. It’s the eloquence of words, how to put it in writing. That is where I fail. I have the ideas, the story, I just cannot put it in words with eloquence, or even in a convincing non-cringe worthy way. Tried several times, failed.
What chapters have the sex stuff?
Glad to see you back, Mo’! And glad you’ve been productive. I skimmed some and it sounds like an interesting story.
Here you go.
Oh my!
It was important to the story!!!!
Whoa……Ok then. Cod jokes in church it is.
And “spindle.”
The Cod and Nymph. Good name for an English Pub.
You can take your pet cod to church, but you can’t pet your cod in church.
Hawt.
You really went there, Mikey, you one sick dude.
?
Excellent. Welcome back!
The woman! The myth! The Legend is back!
There is no such thing as a libertarian woman. Oh, right. You already said “myth.” LOL
“There is no such thing as a libertarian woman.”
No, there is, I mean was, I mean, for a brief moment in time. Libertarian women can exists for a nano-second, right before she changes her mind and decides to go shopping for her 200th handbag or pair of shoes.
Pray, good sir, where else is a good libertarian woman going to keep her gold but if not for 200 handbags?
There’s not a special orphan pouch for that?
I don’t need a new purse. I need Dagny Taggart’s bracelet.
“Capricorn: 6 of Cups – Happy memories, the past”
Yeah, sure. Happy memories of being poor and bad relationships. No thanks.
#CapricornsRpeople2
I’m an 8/23 cusp. Usually a Virgo, sometimes Leo. Seems like a good week ahead.
I see, you’re one of them sign non-binaries.
I am confused most of the time.
IOW, human bean.
The reigning pinnacle of evolution.
I wondered if you are born 4 weeks premature, what counts? Your 9 months from conception due date, or the date you actually are born and take a breath of air?
With regard to proper astrological sign that is.
Neither.
The birthdate is a proxy (an approximate proxy) fro the date of conception, which is what really matters.
Which is also why the Chinese court used to watch the Emperor fuck, to make sure he was “seeding the fields” on the proper dates.
That pretty much answers my question. So sign is determined at conception.
(Planned Parenthood, please discuss)
I was born a few hours late, which bumped me into the next day. Still Aries… ?
Mind. Blown.
I was born on my due date, so…
I was born almost nine months from my parent’s wedding day… so…
My older brother was born less than nine months after my parents’ wedding day.
Oopss… I think I accidentally lit the Ted signal.
Nope –

While blondy is a yuuugeee improvement over May, OK, that’s an understatement, I’d love to see Farage as PM, the Eurotard pantshitting could be smelled on this side of the Atlantic.
I’m on my 2nd beer, yes I’m a bad person.
Got my file cabinet up here, no scratches, no dents, yeah! But then I had a sudden realization that’s been brewing for a long time. We can’t live here anymore in a 1200 sq ft apartment. Took us a while to clear out a space big enough in one of the guest bedrooms to put the file cabinet in. That’s it, we can’t buy anything else. We have 2 10x10x10 storage units so full of stuff that you cannot even get into either one and at least half of it is tools, that I can’t use because I can’t get to them. I had to hang the hand cart I just bought on a hook on the back of the door of the 2nd unit. 2 of our 4 walk-in closets are totally full of stuff that is not clothes. And we’re not hoarders or anything, we’ve thrown out and give away a ton of stuff. I really don’t want to buy out my lease, but holy fuck, this is not working, I’m getting claustrophobic and we both hate clutter.
Hubs made me a strawberry banana daiquiri expertly made using fresh fruit.
It sometimes pays to be married to an ex bartender. Just not AOC
It’s easy for me. My wife has her wine, I have my beer. Anything more complicated than that is: *Opens bottle of bourbon, pours in glass, drinks*
Flavor Bible. Get it, use it, love it.
Learn the ratio of some cocktails (1 liquor: x sweet: y bitter: z sour) and run with it.
I imagine it would pay quite well to be married to AOC.
You’d be better off as a homeless person.
I’m on my 2nd beer, yes I’m a bad person.
As long as you have more, you’re not a bad person.
I’m on my fifth. Dragon’s Milk.
I started with some boozy coffee. Then went out to brunch where I had four Smithwick’s and ogled the pair of beautiful bartenders that will have nothing to do with me. Now I’m at home enjoying more beer.
Oh, and good you got the file cabinet in place without problems.
Hah! Whiteboard’s finally up! Now I’ve got my “to-do” list up and running in my face.
Man, now I’m depressed. I didn’t realize how much stuff I still had to do after moving in here.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I personally prefer Zechariah when he was stoking the Israelites who’d just returned to their homeland after exile to Persia. They had a whole city to rebuild and a wall to build around it as a start.
He said: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”
I like your avatar, Tulpa.
I was gonna go with SMOD, but for anyone who didn’t know what SMOD was the acronym for, it woulda ruined the joke to explain it.
I’d wager the overlap of Glibs and people who don’t know what SMOD is is very very small.
Sizeable Menstrual Odorous Discharge?
Much rather have the Meteor over that. I think I just frightened myself.
Also, that is what Google is for.
As usual, your racism is obvious. You know full well that you need your white privilege to use the Google, but you don’t care about the fate of poor POC.
I am not white.
I am glow in the dark.
“luminous”
Sure you are, Glows in the Dark Whitey Squaw.
Shit, I can’t beat that. LOL
You’re almost as white as WebDom. Not quite, but she’s in the Guinness Book of Records.
The only drawback is that seafoam green and powder blue make me look dead.
Mojeaux’s back!
Yep. Been on a writing binge and am now coming up for air.
🙂
It’s hard to go wrong with Giant Meteor, seeing as how badly we are in need of a reset and end to first world problems.
“…end first world problems.”
The Dems are working hard on that. Be patient.
I’m just worried that Grandpa Gulag is going to screw up on the campaign trail by actually telling women that they don’t need 23 kinds of shoes. That could lose the election and let bad orange man win again. Then we’ll have 4 more year of the horror apocalypse stuff we’ve been barely enduring for the last 3 years, with all the death camps and stuff. And what’s worse, we’re not going to get everything for free and no one has to pay for it, and that’s a right.
The horrors of Trumpism are legion.
“The horrors of Trumpism are legion.”\
I just told my wife, her citizenship interview is just in a couple of weeks, to not directly answer any political leaning questions. I mean, you don’t really know who is interviewing you and I don’t think they would go there, but just in case. Her being another Trump vote is pretty much locked in at this point, adorable deplorables and all that.
W00t! Reverse them wands!
Prediction: It won’t apply to me.
Sounds about right.
We should just get together and drink to weather the week and minimize damage.
Day after tax day birthday here, depending on who you ask, I’m on the cusp. This means:
Both of these. I can sign up for the drinking. Just need to keep up with the exercising (no need to lose a good habit).
That’s no lady…

Best mugshot ever.
My first thoughts upon seeing that mugshot, “WTF?”
Yikes!
Is..Is that Paul Stanley?
Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler morph.
Yeah, I saw that pic and thought ‘pre-op, or post-op?’
I thought “her daughter is a drag queen?”
OMG.
“Negligence, carelessness”
That explains my bank account until next payday.

Reposting from last night just to stir shit up.
I am not an Islamaphobe. I am not afraid of Islam or its practitioners. I am of the opinion that the founder, Mohammed, was a delusional pedophile con artist, but that’s no reflection on his followers. I also think Joseph Smith was a con artist, and Mormons turned out just fine.
All that said, I do have a problem with face veils. Not the hijab, which is the hair covering that still shows the wearer’s full face. But I do have a social issue with the covering one’s face in public.
They claim it’s for piety and Godliness, but if you read English language sites for Muslim women, they gloat about how it gives them an advantage psychologically over the rest of us. We humans consider it polite to look each other in the eye. We expose our whole face to be read by our interlocutor. When we can’t see the face of the other, it’s a disadvantage and an insult.
Security becomes a joke when full veils are allowed on photo IDs. Who are we kidding?
I believe I heard somewhere that this is why many people are afraid of clowns.
That, John Wayne Gacy, and Steven King’s writing.
I was going to say the same thing. They ruined it for clowns.
Ruined what? The bastards are getting elected hand-over-fist.
Honk honk
I’m not sure clowns have a similar record of beheadings though.
No, but I think the point was face-hiding speaks to our reptile brains and engenders fear. (Also, you can hide a lot of explosives under burqas.)
I personally don’t like non-rodeo clowns because they aren’t funny and I don’t see the point.
Clowns were never supposed to be not scary. The red nose, the ill fitting, mismatched clothing, jalopy clown cars, hijinks, boorish and bumblefuck behavior….they are parodies of bums and alcoholics. Those kinds of people are scary because they are dangerous.
Hey! I resemble that remark.
Certified Islamaphobe.
Islam is not compatible with Western values. People seem to forget or ignore that part of Islam is a political system named Shariah. Sure, not everyone who claims to be Muslim is a bad person, but in general, the ‘religion’ is not compatible with Western values. Was it just last week that one of our esteemed congress critters, who happens to be Muslim, said that we should give up our rights as a sovereign nation and let the UN enforce our immigration laws? Yeah, just no.
Libertarianism doesn’t have a great answer for authoritarian cultural movements, whether they be Marxist, religious, or populist in nature.
We have to do a better job of selling our ideas than they do selling their’s. That plus superior firepower.
Yeah, the leave you alone and you leave me alone does have a problem. The problem being, they won’t leave you alone.
well: photo identification for what exactly ?
it’s often the case that folks argue about how to do things that shouldn’t be done at all
Meh on photo ID. I don’t care if you wear a burquah or a bikini to get your government photo taken. Its the voting for authoritarianism that gets me.
As long as you’re not aggressing against others, I don’t care what sky/volcano God you worship or what you put over your head. If someone’s on my lawn uninvited, they’re going to have a problem hood or no hood. It’s not my job to make the jobs of security agencies easier.
So it doesn’t irk you at all if your grocery clerk has a full burka and all you can see are eyes?
Honestly, it doesn’t. But I’m also somewhat broken in my brain, and can’t really read facial/body expressions well to begin with.
Of course, I also do self checkout whenever I can.
Is she hot under there? Lol. Seriously though, I really don’t care. As long as she’s wearing it voluntarily. Of course that opens up the whole religious cult brainwashing argument, but that’s across the board.
What about mirrored sunglasses?
I used to have pretty bad social anxiety, and I wore mirrored sunglasses as much as possible (even at night). It seemed to rustle some jimmies, but it was an effective deterrent to small talk.
Obligatory.
I like the ones in the big black tents with just some eye slits. So woke, much freedom, so sexy.
Of course, I’m glad you don’t wear a burka ’cause that would be a real crime;).
Awww
You are right, sir. An abomination of desolation. Or something like that, I mean it sounds really serious and all.
Seconded.
I live in a neighborhood with lots and lots of burkas floating around but the ladies who run the check-stand in the halal market across the street don’t wear them.
They do make me somewhat uncomfortable when one-on-one with one in the elevator, for example. Because what that look tells me is “pretend I’m not here” and it’s hard to do that when they are standing right next to you.
Nope. Does the clerk do his/her job is what matters.
I am not sure it would bother me but I would note that then the burka clad checker is full of shit on an Islamic note. As far as I know from working in burka land if someone is so devout to be forced to wear a burka they are also prohibited from talking to men other than her husband or family members or even be seen in public without either or. So unless they have another pac-man ghost clad chic behind her or her husband at the register then she is doing it for other than religious reasons. I am not into forcing people into norms, but there is something to be said for abiding by societal norms when one visits or moves somewhere and guess what? We don’t do fucking burkas here. Hijabs? Who cares, it is a scarf. Abiding by societal norms is not necessary, it is just what most of us consider polite behavior.
With facial recognition and cameras,cameras everywhere I can see a time coming where hiding your face is a crime so that The Man will be able to track your every move. That’s the main reason I’m against any laws requiring you to show your face any time you’re in public. Also where do you draw the line, mirrored shades and a wide brim hat, a turned up collar ala sam spade , a fake beard , Groucho nose and ‘stache?
the main reason I’m against any laws
you’re going the long way to get to a simple fuck off, slaver; that’s the ammo that fits every gun
Sunglasses, ball cap, fake ‘stache. No one’s going to know who you are.
I wonder if male criminals (of small stature) might put on a burka and eye makeup while committing crimes so that they can’t be identified. And can you imagine the shitstorm if someone in a burka committed a crime and the cops started hassling all the Muslim women who were in the vicinity?
I think this has happened inEuripe already, where a dude known as a criminal dressed in a burka passed security because he didn’t have to show his face.
Nah, the beard would give them away
A woman I used to know that I should have asked out but never did ask out posted a picture on facebook of her wearing a niqab while she was in Jordan. She is a Jewish woman and said that while traveling through Jordan she decided to put on a niqab just to see what it was like.
The picture was strangely arousing to me because she had very pretty eyes. True, she’s an outlier but I thought I’d mention it.
Wifey told me to eat some more food so that I would stop drinking so much beer. She made some great pasta with marinara and mushrooms. Ate a lot of it, but drinking has continued unabated. I need to make another batch of fresh salsa, but I’m sort of lazy right now. *drink*
If Jesus didn’t want us eating pre-made salsa, he wouldn’t have put it in a can.
I’ve tried very little pre-made salsa that is actually good. None of it which is as good as what I make.
Buy it from a sweet little old lady in Dobbin, TX
http://thepepperlady.com
Holy crap, she updated her site! Her website used to look like it was straight from GeoCities.
This. Finally found a half-way decent one in the cold case. But all the available ones in glass jars are utter crap around here.
We know
Ha. Pace comes in a glass jar, too.
There are some really good salsas out there. Go for no preservatives, all natural, low sodium.
OR. get some good maters, I’d suggest 50% Roma and 50% juicier more flavorable ones, some jalapenos, green bell pepper, cilantro, limes, white onion and a food processor;. You just have to know know how to balance it, and you’ll have the best salsa ever. Been making this stuff more than 20 years now.
My only issue with making salsa is consistency. Either too watery or too pasty.
You’ll get it just right every time after a few years of doing it. The biggest issue is always, for me, that you cannot judge the hotness of jalapenos, it’s just not possible. That’s why I always have extra tomatoes and the spicy stuff ready so that I can rebalance it when needed.
I know what your saying about jalapenos, if I’m preparing something with them I go easy on them and then serve fresh on the side of needed. I can handle about any heat level, my wife not so much.
“I can handle about any heat level, my wife not so much.”
We can both handle a lot of spicy, but for me, there’s a lot of difference in the just right amount balance of bite and flavor and ‘my mouth is on fire and has been for several minute and OMG, not enough water on the planet’.
Forgot the salt part, yeah salt. We’ve been using the Himalayan stuff for a while now, bought like 5 pounds of it yesterday. Also like sea salt. Regular table salt, not so much, we don’t use it. I really can tell a difference in the taste even if it’s my imagination.
It’s not your imagination.
I’ve got a wide variety of salt in the house. I’ll generally lean towards sea or kosher, but I’ve got pink, black, grey, smoked, and others depending on the use.
Same here, but I use kosher about 99% of the time.
Kosher. I mean, does that mean that no infidels, I mean Goyim, were sacrificed for this commercial?
I have some of this on the way from amazon.
https://smile.amazon.com/SALTVERK-Salt-Arctic-Thyme-3-17/dp/B017NZFUI6/
Looking forward to trying it. It’s replacing the Chipotle bacon smoked sea salt that’s almost gone.
Sean:
The minimum shipping costs can suck, but one of my favorite flavored salts is Vulcan’s Fire Salt. Nice heat, and a great flavor. Not for steak, but almost anything else it’s awesome on.
I have that bookmarked. ?
I’m waiting to deplete my ghost chili sea salt before getting it. Our cabinets are quite crowded and out of shelf space.
Sean: The Spice House is the non-political version of Penzey’s (who went full TDS), and has a bunch of great options. I had to close the tab when I saw the recommendations at the bottom of the page before I ordered $50-$75 of additional seasoning/spices/extracts I don’t need at the present time.
20 years and you never figured out to add garlic?
No garlic in my salsa, never, and we use a LOT of it in cooking.
No garlic in my salsa, never.

This IndyCar race is a festival of dumbassery today.
“ndyCar race”
Do you live in Indiana or North Carolina. I mean, do you like that racin?
Grew up in Indiana. I usually don’t watch the races anymore, except for the 500, but it was on and I don’t have anything better to do until the food on the grill is done.
And the basketball too, right? I mean, or are you one them furners?
Of course! None of that NBA bullshit. Oh, and high school basketball should be single class.
So, I had a blast at the li’l 5th annual VA Food Truck Battle – https://twitter.com/FishLikesFlicks/status/1168192761906061312
Thinking about putting together a piece for this – got a lot more pics and more food…probably ate a little too much…but it is a holiday weekend (I’ll just skip dinner and add a few extra minutes at the gym tomorrow morning).
Here’s my “Ok I might be drunk” comment.
There are tons of songs with good lyrics. But many are derivative or only work in context of the song.
One phrase from the very ending of a song stands out to me as wisdom and pops into my head often.
Talk Bachman, Aeroplane.
As the song is basically ending, he sings:
“Some questions have no answers; some answers have no truth.”
I love it.
So should Lt Fish write a article about the food trucks or not?
Trigger warning: Sexist comment. Women seem to care a lot more about lyrics than guys do. For me, it’s all about the lyrics. Most people are not gamers, but for those who are, the game Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has the most amazing soundtrack I have ever heard, I’m loving it. For music effect + lyrics the wife an I both enjoy her Sirius radio Yacht Rock station.
“For me, it’s all about the lyrics.”
I mean about the sound, not the lyrics. /drunk me
I have different moods, where I am in it either for the lyrics or for the sound.
So speaking of game music, this is on my current playlist: Chrono Trigger
When done correctly the lyrics and the music are the whole that’s better than the parts. Imagine Tom Waits was singing about unicorns and rainbows or Leslie Gore singing about hookers and barflies.
Yes, I agree. When doing things with my brain, though, I need lyric-less music or I can’t concentrate.
I get into lyrics, although not if I don’t like the music, obvs.
Of course, this topic would come up right after I listened to the Circle Jerks “When the Shit Hits the Fan” three times in a row (playing along on the guitar – wanted to get the pattern right).
Yeah, this. Guy thing. Just build a dude wall and get it over with.
good lyrics
Dolly Parton: You could have your choice of men But I could never love again
Willie Nelson: I heard you told him that you’d love him till the end of time Now that’s the same thing that you told me, seems like just the other day
David Rodriguez: As the rivers run dry, And the mountains blow away, They sing of lovers and how they lay, Beneath this crazy frontier moon
Guy Clarke: It’s all about the good life And stayin’ at ease with the world It’s funny how I love that book And I never loved that girl
Leon Russell: We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
Merle Haggard: I don’t mean to hate December
Waylon Jennings: I’ve always been crazy but it’s kept me from going insane
Mel Tillis: But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
J J Cale: And I ain’t hidin’ from nobody Nobody’s hidin’ from me
Kris Kristofferson: Let the devil take tomorrow Lord tonight I need a friend
Kris Kristofferson: There’s no need to watch the bridges That were burning
Neil Young: Doesn’t mean that much to me To mean that much to you
Lyle Lovett: And she is talking to me without moving her eyes Because she’s already made up her mind
John Prine: Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
“Dolly Parton: ”
Titties, show em to us.
It was always hard to believe ~26 year old Dolly when she sang “Jolene”. I mean, I’m assuming you’ve seen 26 year old Dolly.
I think I sustained a 5 year long erection because of her. And I couldn’t call my doctor. So much for white privilege.
That said, really good song.
No matter how hot she is someone is tired of her shit…or…Hugh Grant/Elizabeth Hurley/Marvin Haggler in drag…Your call.
Thinking about putting together a piece for this
Yes please.
Wife gets mad at me for putting entire boxes of beer in the freezer. But I was just explaining to her… I put a 12 pack of Stella cans in the freezer, box and all. The thing is, this will allow the beer to get ice cold without it freezing, that little bit of insulation makes all the difference. It really works. You have to drink a lot of beer to learn things like this, but there are some sacrifices we have to make.
You mean, there are sacrifices your wife has to make:) lol.
Well, she goes well beyond the required sacrifice level, I know I’m difficult to live with to say the least.
Aren’t we all:).
I didn’t put up a dude wall yet, cause I’m out of 3D space. Projects, gotta have em.
I’m just a little drunk…
I’m considering it. I should prolly go to groceries store first so I don’t end up drunk with no munchies.
Yeah, beer and no food is bad.
Scorpio: The Devil – Rage, violence, extraordinary efforts, that which is predestined
Wow, I’d better get off my ass and write that manifesto.
Can anyone dig up the glibs article link someone (Vhyrus?) put together on building an AR? I was certain there was a breakdown on the process, but can’t find it under the category “guns”.
Thanks.
Or any other recommended links on the best way to get started?
Here
Tablesaws aren’t my bag but…..thanks?
?
Does Florida still exist? Because I hear that bad orange man is going to destroy it with a wind storm? Is that true?
He’s getting blown at Mar a Lago
Umm, OK, Key Largo, just like Bogey and Bacall. Did I get it right?
just like Bogey and Bacall
Is that what he named his nuts?
I dunno, I mean it’s because before my time, I mean I didn’t have those nuts things yet, or they didn’t work yet.
Oh. I heard the compassionate progs are praying that the storm wipe Mar El Lago off of the map and kill staff, local residents and destroy the property of everyone there because BadOrangeMan has no regard for other’s suffering.
The things you hear….
Libra: King of Coins – Valor, realizing intelligence, business and intellectual aptitude.
Well that just sounds like a lot of work.
With the proper intellectual aptitude, you can make others enact your labor.

The bloodshed between Midland and Odessa began when two state troopers pulled over a car on Interstate 20 for not using its turn signal
The Texas brand of stop and frisk scores another direct hit in the war on . . . well, don’t worry about it, just pay your ferking taxes.
Until we know more I am hesitant to make any assertions but my instinct tells me this guy was a serious problem, probably possessed the guns illegally and was already known to law enforcement. Someone else made that observation earlier today and it is probably on the money.
My God, who goes on a murder spree over a damned traffic citation?
oh, he’s a loon; I wouldn’t argue otherwise
Yeah, probably on the run or wanted for something. They pull up everyone’s name, don’t they?
Yep, they do. Good chance he had at least one warrant out and knew it, thus the reaction.
Or was on parole and had the guns (or other illegal items) in plain site.
More “racism” out of Philly:

Crappy behavior, if true. But, (since they didn’t show a photo) maybe you’re just ugly. Ever considered that?
“The camera adds 10 lbs.”
“How many cameras are on her? “
My gut tells me this is horseshit.
#metoo
That’s why the quote marks are there.
Same here. I’m automatically skeptical of any stories about overt racism or sensational rapes (especially those from many years ago) because of how many of these incidents have been proven to be total fabrications but were nevertheless pumped up by the media and politicians as being 100% true.
I got nuthin’. Except, what a timeline.
I am calling bullshit. These assholes want to win the lottery. They should buy a ticket like everyone else.
Wife read me a story earlier about a guy who is suing Popeye’s because they ran out of chicken sandwiches.
https://www.wfla.com/news/viral-news/man-sues-popeyes-for-running-out-of-chicken-sandwiches/
It is impossible to overstate how much we need ‘loser pays’ laws in every state. These worthless, litigious leeches are costing the rest of us huge amounts of money and doing immeasurable damage to our economy and society in general.
So he paid before he got the sandwich? I think I’m starting to see the problem.
*whistles* Hey, dumbass…
Do as we say or we’ll switch to being gay, because being gay is a choice.

I’m drinking, listening to music, and playing Settlements of Catan. I’m really starting to like this game. There were a mentions of this game by a few Glibs. I recommend it.
Bu the way Sour Monkey by Victory is great but deceptive. Not sessionable
Deceptive? So it has no real monkey in it?
Only >9% APV
And no chilled monkey brains.
You could always check to see if you could make yourself a Monkey Gland to replace the monkey brains.
I don’t have Absinthe.
It’s has girl scouts in it.

Nice. Storming here.
Noyce.
Nice doggie.
I’m not big on Sours but Sour Monkey is good. Yeah, not a Session beer. I think it’s similarity to Golden Monkey which I love is why I like it. Golden Monkey will sneak up on you though.
Sour as in pickles, kraut, pickle corn, pickle every fucking thing. / my German ancestry showing. No, I don’t, I mean… don’t pee on me!
No, Sour as in Sour beers.
I like those too.
Tried a couple of samples from these guys earlier today. It was damned good.
All of the Monkey’s from Victory are good, but far from sessionable.
And do you mean Settlers of Catan? It’s not a bad game, I’m not a fan of the end conditions, and there are games I feel are much better in the same play time and complexity level.

Yes I do. It’s been a long weekend. The end is the fun. It gets fast paced at the end
It was Neph’s question, really. I just wanted to tweek you with the Cones of Dunshire link.
Not that I’m one to geek-shame. I used to play this.
Victory makes good beer.
Ya’ll is totes shitlords. Wifey was waning a pizza. WTF? I mean things that never happen. So I’m like ‘sure, you’re driving, because I’m like over several magnitudes of being able to legally drive. That was nice. I just laid the seat back a little and enjoyed.
Hope they have alcohol there.
Reply to Hyperion.
I’m all good. 18 Heineken cans and … I think there are still come Stella cans…
Some. OK, little intoxication setting in…
Company’s gone, hangover’s gone, my stomach has finally forgiven me, time for a cocktail.
And woot! Good Eats is back.
What channel?
You Tube has episode one
Take 2
Food Network. They played the first two episodes today.
Does anyone have any good options for a browser besides Brave? I like the idea of a browser that doesn’t do tracking, but not if it shuts down every 10 minutes.
My browser claims to “prevent cross-site tracking” but I suspect you’re not on a Mac. Maybe there’s a plugin that would help? uBlock Origin is the best I’ve used.
