I’d sooner be a Wildcat edition
Standard Advice: go with your first read! Whenever, it seems, I’ve changed my mind on the line, the putt then breaks the original way . . . every stinking time. And so it went for me after I recently opined:
Oklahoma gets better every week, and the grind past Texas qualifies them to enjoy a well-earned last laugh . . . they were, they are the real deal in 2019 and so we must admit that the Sooners were not over-ranked after all. I was dead wrong on this one.
Well, when I said I was wrong: I was wrong. After several weeks in the top six, the newly schooner-less Sooners laid an egg in Manhattan and finally fell five spots in the AP. K State walked away from them after an even first half; OU brought it back close, but the Wildcats were just working clock and enjoying the inevitable win while the network commenters tried to convince viewers otherwise; a failed onside kick almost gave Norman a chance and did give the guys in the replay booth at Conference a nice excuse to delay play a good seven minutes before the fat lady could sing. Anyways, the Crimson were Creamed but will go on to a solid bowl.
Personal note: the 2000 KSU team had the quickest defense I’ve ever seen, and you simply couldn’t pass against Terence Newman. Their fans travel well and have a fearsome, deafening, unending set of cheers.
Meanwhile, master-class of the week in pointy ball was given by The University of the South at Columbus. The Buckeyes applied the very best talent from Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Maryland to the would-be spoilers from Madison. Save future injuries, LSU is the only defense that would seem to have a strong chance of stopping Ohio State.
Notre Dame is perennially overrated, and you might say that I beat that drum enough, but, earlier in the year, they lost to Georgia and then were still ranked above Georgia; it’s just ridiculous, predictable, and this nonsense is crippling the ability of Catholic children to develop logic skills. Saturday #19 Michigan plowed them like so much snow and the AP accordingly downgraded them eight slots to finally be below both of their known betters. The great Protestant conspiracy to keep these good kids down has finally won 2019, but don’t worry: the ND nonsense will flare back up next summer. Moving on:
Week Nine Most OverRated Football Program Results
1 Minnesota did make soup out of Maryland 52 – 10
2 Appalachian State did ruin the Jags of South Alabama
3 SMU survived red-shirt factory Houston’s sometime quarterback Tune
4 Oregon edged Washington State at home
So ZERO new toldjasos™ this week, but, speaking of Notre Dame, I never booked the original win on them at the time so I’m adding that to the list now and taking Oklahoma off my list of misses as well. Otherwise, a very quiet week we had. So what’s the longer view?
Well, the Committee (motto: We Meet in Grapevine!) has yet to convene or vote. The question, like most years, is: who’s number four? Conference championships are a toss-up, but we have every reason to expect these teams in the mix:
Big Ten Ohio State, Penn State, or Minnesota
SEC Alabama, LSU, or Florida
ACC Clemson
And these guys can pound sand:
PAC64 Oregon is just too weak; expect a second team from the Big Ten or SEC instead
Big XII Oklahoma is only the best of the rest after losing to KSU
Notre Dame is not as good as Oregon
AAC UCF is not a top twenty team
MWest Boise State is not a top twenty team
MAC Ball State might be a top hundred team
Okay, everyone knew all that before the season’s first snap (it’s rigged against the small schools!!!!11!!) Back to our weekly idiocy: who’s who and what’s what?
Yet Another Week N + 1 Most OverRated Football Programs
1 San Diego enters our list as most overrated team of the year but is off next week
2 SMU will meet Memphis in an overrated (and televised) mouse tussle
3 Appalachian State continues to dominate the JV and will host the Statesboro Blues
4 Minnesota is trending up but will get stomped by Penn State
5 Oregon is barely overrated but might have their hands full with USC
Honorable mentions – I like LSU, but they’re not Numero Uno (Ohio State at a minimum is clearly better on offense). Baylor is too big for its britches, and Cincinnati love is overheating, but I’ll give them a bit of rope for now. The same guys who formerly believed in Oklahoma have switched horses to Kansas State. Previously bagged Utah and Boise State are sliding back up in the competency vacuum. Wake Forest shouldn’t be within ten slots of the AP at all, and yet they’re there. This much never changes: the AP 25 is lunacy, a doctoral thesis in mass hysteria begging to be written. Now: on to accounting.
Year to Date Hides on the Wall
1 Georgia lost at home to the second-best team from South Carolina that had lost to UNC
2 Utah lost to an unrated USC but seems to be coming back
2 Stanford was revealed by USC
2 Syracuse was unranked after Maryland
2 Michigan was blown out by Wisconsin
2 Notre Dame sold off after losing to a highly ranked Georgia
7 UCF was edged by an unranked Pitt
7 Iowa was no number 15 as Michigan proved
7 Wake Forest allowed Louisville to hang 62 on them
7 Cal was dumped from the AP after losing to Arizona State
11 Boise State lost by three to toothless BYU
11 Iowa State was dethroned before their decent showing against Iowa
11 Memphis lost to possibly 80th best team in the nation Temple and disappeared
14 Michigan State slowly fell out of the ratings, so I was right after all
14 Clemson was dethroned by Mack Brown retirement project UNC
14 Texas lost to OU (mid-season toldjasos™) and has continued to suck
14 Texas probably over-paid for losing to titan LSU (early-season toldjasos™), but then they let Kansas hang 48 on them at home
18 Auburn over-paid for losing to Florida
18 Texas A&M probably over-paid for quality losses against Clemson and Auburn . . . or maybe not
20 Washington State was de-ranked after becoming lowly UCLA’s first win
20 Virginia continues to lose after losing to can-play-with-UGA-but-not-Michigan Notre Dame
22 Oklahoma lost to Kansas State . . . inexcusable
Year to Date It-Would-Seem Blown Calls Because They’re Doing Okay Really Well
1 LSU
2 Florida seems to have earned their status by defeating top-ten Auburn
3 Oklahoma is no longer a blown call because Kansas State
4 UCF is now a skin on the wall after Pitt
5 Michigan is no longer a blown call because Wisconsin
6 Washington State is no longer a blown call because UCLA
Our year now stands at 22–2-4. So closes a tasty week!

My alma mater is terrible and is rated as such.
Why do you think I’m so careful to only pick on overrated teams!?
I just wanted to be first.
My alma mater does not even have a football team.
#metoo
#methree. I learned to code.
1 out of three colleges had no football team.
Well then who was there to rape all the girls?
Haven Monahan?
I tease my wife about both of her schools not becoming real colleges until after she graduated because they didn’t have football teams.
I do so from a safe distance.
The only times I attended university was to sell drugs to people at Mo’s alma mater.
I bet they were hoppin’
I’ll show myself out.
/spooky voice
Booooooooo……this woman.
That was a clever ruse.
I have more in my pouch.
I get a kick out of these exchanges!
*smdh*
Have some more soup – you’ll feel better.
We may get a narrowed gaze on the tail end of this.

Well, I don’t see him here. Maybe he went down under?
My first visit to any such campus was to see the John Dean Apology Tour. There were few hot coeds in attendance.
#DoNotPassGo
#DoNotCollect$200
He did an actual campus to campus apology tour for that? You’d think he would of just slinked off. Was he getting paid?
sorry: thought that was funny
probably was just a book tour
My alma mater has a really good work release program.
Mine too. But since we beat Miami our fanbase went from “we’ve got no chance to do better than 1-11” to “you know, if we win out our conference schedule, we’d be bowl eligible and maybe win our division”
Which Miami – the real Miami in Ohio or that upstart in Florida?
Also, I have been remiss, so please allow me to take this opportunity to greet you with a hearty “Fuck off, Tulpa!”
Thanks for the welcome! Miami, FL. My school is Georgia Tech. We’ve got a new coach and our entire O-line is injured. The results have been…ugly.
But at least we didn’t lose last Saturday.
I would defend M-I-A, but we’ve ceded that territory to Cuba.
So is the SEC taking this weekend off instead of playing cupcakes?
Three teams are playing top 11 teams,
but Tennessee hosts nasty, nasty UAB.
I like how 2 overrated teams were exposed by USC. Norte Dame would be in that club too if the refs hadn’t saved them. Let’s hope they expose Oregon.
Really lucky for me that they torpedoed against a school that isn’t top twenty: fewer arguments.
I still argue that USC has the best cheerleaders.
ALWAYS! Fight On!
Ooh. An amply illustrated post with a poll on which school fields the best squad would be awesome.
maybe I misunderstand: doesn’t everyone else already do that ?
No, never seen a post with pics of top college cheerleaders and a poll on which is the best.
Now that amateurs get paid, I can only imagine what cheerleaders are willing to do.
These guys say Oregon with USC second. That’s an easy win for the PAC256.
There is no argument. The song-girls win. Every.Single.Time.
I hope Oregon squashes them. I’m pretty impressed with how Utah is playing this year.
Who knew this would drop at 7 . . . usually relegated to 11. Must be a slow news days.
If it is any consolation it is 8 in the timezone that matters.
Yep. 8:15 to be precise.
It is. Nancy and her band of retards voted on something. And our faithful media tried to whip it into a fury. No one seemed to care. Tomorrow I suspect, will be much of the same.
I think people are getting impeachment fatigue already. Today’s vote doesn’t represent a move forward for the proceedings so why should any one care?
If I hadn’t left FB in disgust I could check out what my circle of friends have to say about why I should care.
OSU wins it all.
They’re a six point favorite over THE FIELD at this point.
A bit early. Will see this weekend if Cal was a fluke.
Oh noes, not the foozball! Benjamin Franklin is da debil!
On that note, happy Reformation Day!!
What the hell is a Reformation Day? I thought it was Halloween? Pagans all around me I spose.
October 31 is the day Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the church door.
Why did he hate the Theses? Sounds like racism to me!
Written in the lavatory, where he spent lots of time not getting anything else done.
95 Theses was hot.
Just because you beat a team, doesn’t automatically mean you should be ranked ahead of them, although that would make the rankings more fun.
Top 95?
I haven’t been playing close attention, but since you mentioned the MAC, do you know how Ball State really compares to Miami (Cradle of Coaches, Public Ivy, and all-around honorable institution) and Ohio (Den of Iniquity) in the East, who have identical records?
It’s kinda all the same after you get into triple digits, but Miami over Ohio by two on a neutral pitch.
GameDay comes to Beale Street,
so the nation needs to stay current on what’s going on ‘mongst the thirties.
Hate to admit it: SMU by 4.
*does stupid pony thing with his fingers *
Out of my alma maters, I fully expected Purdue to be good again before SMU
Everything Wrong With Hocus Pocus

Gary Hoey fixed that.
The 49er tight end, George Kittle, just got his knee bent back a little bit. May not be all that injured but would not be surprised if he is doesn’t return today.
He’s hopping around on the sidelines, but I imagine they’ll not risk his long term health for just one game.
Oh my gawd. They stopped play so they could plus a divot in the turf so the Big Men won’t get hurt.
Good. Let someone else win for a change.

Dance With The Devil
The only song I insist on listen to on this holiday:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qt2zuMLi44
If nobody has done this by now, I haz disappoint.
Mr. GT used to scare the crap out of his little sisters by cranking up this cover.
Thats kinda too busy. I dont mind Perry Farrell’s cover tho.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6p3GnxBYOQ
Given the poor weather, you have anyone over @ yo’ crib?
Dead silent here in the hood.
We always go out to eat during trick-or-treating. Mr. GT got put off Halloween as a kid when (Catholic) mom would have the kids dress up as saints, then she’d drive them around to relatives’ houses for the kids to give little speeches about said saints. Bit of a buzzkill.
Harsh. That’s some shi’ite Catholicism
She got bettah. By the time I came along, she was really cool.
Eight so far. We don’t get many and it’s 36 degrees outside.
That sounds like Jack Black.
I prefer this one.

Kinnath for the win!
If she’s have showed up in the ’80s or ’90s, she’d be filling stadiums and selling platinum by now.
Apple-polisher
Hey Kinnath, you had turned me onto mini kegs at Northern Brewers and now I can’t find them. Any ideas?
49ers suck
That is incorrect.
Happy Halloween from Chiefs fan, O.J. Simpson

In other news, Priest Holmes was never accused of stabbing anyone to death.
What does Priest Holmes have to do with that? Am I missing something?
He was a successful running back with the Chiefs.
OJ is dressed up as Patrick Mahomes, not Priest Holmes.
OJ was a running back.
Oh. I thought you thought he’d dressed up as Priest Holmes.

Halloween:
“Trick or treat!”
Oh goodness, that’s adorable.
“Trick or treat!”
What an active neighbor–
“Trick or treat!”
*dumps bowl into first kid’s bag, shuts door, turns off light*
For the first time in my 7 years here, someone tried to start a Trick-or-Treat list in my 66-unit apartment building. As of this afternoon there were 3 takers.
PS. there was another sign – in the same handwriting – asking someone to kindly return the package for 3E they stole as it’s for Halloween.
Hey! I learned about that listening to the GLoP podcast earlier. Rob Long made fun of Jonah Goldberg and John Podhoretz for spending Halloween in elevators. He called it sad, which, you know.
That counts. Your costume is Yellin, Bernanke or Powell?
Scariest costumes today:
A bunch of cops;
Thanos;
An Indian Brave (really just insensitive);
STEVE SMITH
Government workers, here to help?
The Gilded Rodents are gonna beat the Pedos. I know that’s painful for everyone, but it’s a fact.
In the YTD hides on the wall what do the ranks mean?
self-reported take-down value
Generally, I gave myself more credit if a team was terribly overrated (say, 8 places or more) or if a highly rated team was involved.
But it’s all BS and fun.
Each one’s it’s own story, and at this point I’m not sure I’d remember many of the details.
I’m very happy to hear other opinions on any of them.
Nah I was just curious.
OK, which one of you did this?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BX87sV1CQAESMO2.jpg
Awesome.
BTW, Don, these are fun posts. Thanks.
I haven’t got my Glib GED in the mail yet, but I’m trying: take some arguable assertions, fold in pictures of sad children, top with snark and serve with vinegar and oil.

Maybe a little more bitterness?

That song has haunted me my whole life. Good choice.
This one’s a bit more me, though.
Of course, the greatest “monster” song ever!
Awesome song.
Gator needs his gat, you punk-ass bitch.
In a close second.
FU you monster. I didnt even play it.
I’m with you, man. Nobody should have to hear that.
My wife adores that band and gets violently angry when I play that version. It’s a lose/lose situation, so of course I do it.
LMFAO!
Rhy gets it.
It’s better with a song I know but that was still LOLworthy.
I’m dyin’ here. That was awful.
How the fuck does that get 9M views?
It’s a car wreck. Three seconds count.
“The Washington Post, that legendary and often self-congratulatory bastion of First Amendment support, which has just published an op-ed calling for hate speech laws because “on the Internet, truth is not optimized. On the Web, it’s not enough to battle falsehood with truth; the truth doesn’t always win.””
I find the “we have to save the Truth!!!” Especially specious. If the Truth is important why are you trying to silence people? It reeks of elitist “we have the Truth all the Truth sentiment”

OT: it’s amazing how fast a simple database project gets out of hand. I started designing this project as a simple postgres database to improve accessibility to our data. Then, Django came into the plan to give application access to the data. Then why the hell not containerize it with kubernetes on centos because I want to learn containers. Then need to learn nginx and gunicorn to make it production capable. Now looking at all of the extra crap that goes along with creating a full fledged web server.
It’s all a bit overwhelming to a guy who has about 3 hours/week to dedicate to learning this stuff. However, I’d go nuts if I didnt do it.
Nice work! I’ve set up a simple rest API with the basic stack there.
I’m hoping I can actually make this happen. We really need it. I’m sick of crashing our commercial, hundreds of thousands of dollars per year data providers when trying to export a piddly 2000 record report.
There’s a huge opportunity for those who can provide a quality database in the patent space.
What kinds of data are you modelling (if I can ask)?
It’s the entirety of our patent portfolio. Possibly additional external info for analytics capabilities, but I’m focused on getting the simple stuff like docketing our tasks, performing simple work flows, syncing with external data sources, etc.
Translate all of that to Microsoftese and you could be one of my old bosses.
Damn, I’m so glad I dont have to know what all that shit means anymore.

Woke up this morning and heard the bad news. *Kicks pebble* Geez, I wanted to be the new leader of ISIS.
*coughs surreptitiously into cuff*
You insinuating I’m not austere or scholarly? Huh?!
Oh, lookit the guy that reads the Bee. Or WaPo. Or Linx
You guys wish I were head of ISIS. I’d make it Woke ISIS.
Woke ISIS,
No burkas, hijabs, or veils of any type.
No throwing teh gehys off of buildings.
No beheading people.
“And kill xir/xim wherever you find xir/xim, and turn xir/xim out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing… but if they desist, then lo! Gaia is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Gaia] and worship is for Gaia alone. But if xim/xer cease, let there be no trans aggression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)”
“No beheading people.”
Unless they’re Rethuglicans
What will they do to the libertarians?!?!
Rape cages.
Good news. Lots of opportunity left for rapid advancement.
As it’s dark and we’ve still had no trick-or-treaters (weather is nice and the neighborhood’s good, if somewhat old), I went to look and our house is the only one on the block with lights. c’mon neighbors, this is weak.
I grew up old-suburb adjacent – late 70s, early 80s – and the haul every year was freaking amazing. Like, garbage bags worth.
It’s in transition – we’re one of the newer families in the area, so many of them their kids are gone. But still, it’s sad nobody’s giving out stuff to the kids, even if they don’t personally have kids in house anymore. 🙁
But yeah, I bet this place was LIT back then, when the first generation of people in the subdivision had kids of the right age.
Maybe in my area it was the 2nd or 3rd generation homeowners. It was OLD suburb. Like 1900-ish.
But yeah almost every house had at least candy, and many of them very elaborate decorations and shit.
My driveway is 150 yds to the street and gated. (Not a mansion, just an enormous lot). The street has no sidewalks or shoulder. I have no trick or treaters.
Was it Yusef that went the full nine yards with the Halloween decorations? Hope he’s doing something fun wherever he is now.
We get hundreds. We cap it at like 100 bucks and run out every time. We’re across the big street from billionaires, so we get some spillover. My friend on the other side spends 500 and she’s always running out too.
They must be all going to you, then, because they’re not coming here!
I’ve had three (in one group). From a block over.
Got zero. Oh well, I have to eat all the Reese’s pieces. Darn.
I was a Law & Order junkie in the early days with Lennie Briscoe and Mike Logan. I was okay with SVU at the beginning and then it merged with Homicide.
But the L&O I really like is Criminal Intent. Watching old episodes. Holds up really really well.
Life on the Street was watchable.
Loved Munch and Pembleton.
Briscoe and Logan were TV gold. It was cool that Logan had a run on CI. Goldblum’s Goldblum character was good, too. I can’t stand Eames. She just got worse as the series went on.
I like Eames. It’s Olivia Benson I hate with the fiery hatred of a thousand burning suns.
I blame SVU almost exclusively for the chicken littles screaming rape and pedos around every bush.
I don’t think that’s how they operate….
Exactly. That’s outrageous. They’re behind every bush.
If they’re pedos, they’re not interested in bush.
That’s why they hide behind it, duh.
::hat tip to blackjack::
/just the tip, though
And I actually really liked SVU. I hung with it for a long time. But Mariska Hargitay finally went all Alan Alda and I had to check out.
In my defense, I was a cop-sucking conservative for much of my life. I only just saw the
lightdarkness recently.Actually, SVU might have played a part in that. Huh. That possibility had never occurred to me until just now.
Mmmmm hmmm. IMO, SVU is responsible for a while lot of negative societal shifts toward decreased liberty.
The moralistic self righteousness when the wife puts SUV on gets to me. Sometimes when that goes completely to shit, there’s a half second pause. And then right back to Benson knows best. If the show ended with her getting capped by one of the many many people she’s fucked over, I’d be happy.
I’d watch that.
I’d pay big money to watch that.
Is it still being made?
Sadly. Mr. Mojeaux watches it, but he lets me know so I am nowhere near the TV because I will throw things at it.
So the worst of the three lives on. Great.
I think it’s because Americans are sexual deviants and they all want to rape, or be raped.
*starts writing thesis*
I wasn’t a fan before, but at least Meloni had the sense to bail a while ago.
I liked Munch and Ice T, especially since the latter will forever be the Copkiller guy in my memories.
Huh. I didn’t know he left. Yeah, I don’t watch that stuff any more.
Oh that was YEARS ago, he left.
Meloni sounds like a half decent guy outside of work. He’s been married for the past twenty five years and lives here.
25 year old Jill Hennessy for the win.
Oh, hell yeah.

That was a season finale. I still remember that episode. They had all gone to witness an execution. They all were quite shaken by it. Claire died. Squeaky clean family man Rey had a one-night stand.
That was a very emotional episode.

Oh, and mad props @ SF for another outstanding Subaru Horror Theater. Ironically, I was at the vet with Jugsy and her doge, what (hasnt eaten food or drank water for a couple days) seems to have dementia.
Ruh-roh! Poor doggy! : (
Vet at North Main pumped her full of Ringer’s and B12. But if she cant remember how to eat/drink after a couple days, time for the Big Shot of Love.
Not my Doge, so its easy to be objective, and Ive been through it a half dozen times; I also know that people try to hang on too long and neglect the animals quality of life.
Aw.
*looks over at my two girls not getting any younger*
Sorry to hear that.
That is so sad. The animal’s quality of life is the most important thing, IMO.
So much this^^^
Between that story and the ending of the Subaru commercial earlier, and missing my Steele, I’m all misty eyed for old dogs now. That and the booze.
Damn anyways. Take care of Jugsy.
Yeah, if your getting here late, go back and read it. We’re blessed here at the House of Glib
Happy Halloween! From the deep state.
I thought that was gonna be Snowden’s tweet about the FBI building a facial recognition website.
Happy Halloween, indeed.
A Japanese coworker had to make a presentation for new employees at one of my offices on Wednesday. He made a video introducing all of us. After he showed my picture with captions about my home country, hobbies etc., the next pic was a stock photo of random white people working in an office. One of the pictures he chose was of Snowden. I asked him if he knew who that guy (points at Snowden) is and he’s like, “No. Is he a celebrity?” Dude…
Just one more example of how the internet hasn’t reached Japan
I don’t think so, but evidently I look like Snowden which is why he choose it he said. How about the weekend of the 15th for drinks?
Fridays work best for me – how about the 15th or the 22nd?
Sorry, my schedule has been a bit dynamic
Choose one and mail or text me. Either one is fine.
Wow. New hires are lucky if someone sends out an email.
And what is it they do exactly?
I hope that is just secretaries and support staff. If it is analysts they are seriously stupid.
Looks like the a gathering of SJWs on any random campus. These are shitheals crapping over the constitution? Disappointed.
Would, would, no homo, would not, would not, would, would, would, would, might, would not, no homo, would, would, would, would, would.

Lights on would be ok, as long as it was from behind.
Lights on, but don’t look at the face.
I once saw a steer mount a cow out of instinct – he got up on top (of course nothing else was happening) but the look on his face was “OK, now what?”.
Heifers will mount other open heifers all the time. Little scratch-off color patches on their rumps is one way to tell which ones are bred, because if the color’s intact, their sisters have quit getting up on them.
Heh heh heh.
Has this made national news yet?
Keystone spill in Walsh County deemed ‘high-impact’; Sanders tweets pipeline should never have been built
It’s not too far from me. Might go see what I can see tomorrow.
Cow dung today! Cow dung tomorrow! Cow dung forever!
If Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., isn’t powering his life on unicorn farts he should probably keep his trap shut.
I’ll add that it has been a very, very wet fall around here. The fact that there is no water visible in the picture of that “wetland” makes me suspicious.

Also record cold in Montana for Octorber. Last season it was record lows in March. Longer more severe winters are being caused by this global warming. Whoda thunk.
Climate change. Except when contradicted. Then it’s just weather.
Weird pattern right now – 70 in NYC and 43 in Houston?!
It’s been in the 20s here. Unusually cool to cold this whole year.
meh this is meaningless to the debate
Watched some crappy horror movie, then went and finished re-watching Ash Vs The Evil Dead. Now I’m re-watching Within The Woods, the short film Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell made to show investors to get money to make the original Evil Dead. Full circle, as it were.
Dead Ringer, followed by From the Grave.
*From Beyond the Grave
I’d love to be able to go to bed tonight & watch a classic horror movie between my toes. So what are TCM and AMC showing? House of Usher and Halloween II, FFS. And we don’t have Netflix set up on the bedroom TV.
If they don’t have the decency to show H3, they can go straight to hell!
I was hoping you’d take a peak at within the woods and say, ‘well, your stuff is on par.’ But of course, no! You defend the Witching Hour instead!
Who did where now?
You know what you did!/woman
I’m still stuck on what Witching Hour is/
That was what Halloween 3 was before it was packaged as Halloween 3, as they wanted to turn the Halloween series into an anthology.
I’m watching nu-‘It’.
My kid loves Z nation. It’s prolly not totally appropriate for a 7 year old, but that’s what he put on.
My brother hims and haws about what his kids watch, I remind him I was Robocop for Halloween in kindergarten; he shoots a guys dick off and I watched that shit as a kid, so did he; kissing and sex scenes, those are right out for kids, but violence and horror are a-ok in my book.
I watched Beverly Hills Ninja with his kids when I watched them last week.
Yeah, I let watch, but I have to deal with him getting in trouble for cussing at school and kung-fu fighting. It’s prolly worth it.
That’s what childhood is.
Man, those kids are fast as lightning.
That was frightening, but only a little bit.

Never let a crisis go to waste, as they say.
And, as in this case, if there isn’t a real crisis handy they can just conjure one up out of thin air.
Well, not thin air, they’ve been honing it since the 70s. Global Cooling, the Ozone Layer, Environmentalism, Global Warming, Climate Change…A different media message that always leads to the same outcome, socialism harder!
Honing it? Hell! They’ve been trying every frequency in the dial (population bomb, silent spring, global cooling, nuclear winter, etc.) trying to find a message people would believe. They’ve finally given up on finding the correct message, made up a sufficiently broad title, and decided to just close ranks on “the deniers” until there is no other message.

A ton of great Halloween songs were posted here today. But no one posted this one:

C’mon people. You can do this.
I’ve linked it here before, but I don’t remember if it was to you. Nosferatu, to Type O Negative. With an introduction from David Caradine
That seems familiar. I think it happened the way you remember.
Fair enough. Lucretia is another selection.
I miss Goth.
Oh hell yeah ??

It was shitty SNL anyway, Geoffrey Rush did a better Vincent Price anyway. I also think he should have done a Have Gun Will Travel movie.
As long as we’re doing Vincent Price
https://youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA
Can’t see a pop singer putting a disclaimer on their video at the beginning like that today.
The song opens with a spoken word passage, read by English actor Barry Clayton,[3] which quotes Revelation 12:12 and Revelation 13:18. According to lead vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, the band originally asked Vincent Price to read the intro, but decided to hire Clayton after Price refused to do it for anything less than £25,000.[4]
Close enough, until today I thought it was Price.
The times have changed GL.
I have heard “Monster Mash” for as long as I can remember. It was fun to see the singer perform it.
I will contribute:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDpYBT0XyvA
The Monster Mash was banned for 11 years by the BBC for being “too morbid”
Did they even listen to the song before banning it? It’s practically safe for Disney.
I did not know until today that Monster RAP actually was a thing. Created as an attempt to ‘modernize’ monster mash, by Pickens. It’s hilariously awful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWKtHUJgCe8
‘modernize’ ‘recorded in 1983’…Oh, um, I was born that year, where all the ‘young’ women at?

It was twenty years after the original song, so the guy tried to make an updated sequel.

OK, finally got the Saturday post submitted, in case any of TPTB happen to see this.
You get more slack than I do. Raises fist to the sky! *Forgets why*
Slack? Or, flack?
Slack, of course, they want my toons to be on Wednesday to do a double hat and hair, so I gets competition they have to move around. you’re the only one doing the yowman’s work of Saturday night though.
The content some people crank out is amazing.
I consider my hour nothing: half of it is fun thinking, half formatting. Some design and judgment, but no artistic effort, of which I know more than a little, is required.
So I whittle out my easy bit Sunday as soon as the AP poll drops, and TPTB can use it or not. I hope they do, but I know that I get much more out of it than anyone else. I’ve been getting Thursday 11pm, which makes sense since I’m so OT any normal Glib topic. Tonight’s 7pm drop was a shock: slow news night.
Shhhhhh! Nobody needs to see behind the curtain!
your stuff’s a separate matter: I’m just laughing at my drivel
I sketch very well and have thought about political caricature, but by the time you crank something out, 200 other people all over the world have done it already in some twitter meme. Nobody’s waiting on the morning paper for their yucks.
Well, you described my process quite accurately, so…birds of a feather? Brothers in arms? Starving artists
collectiveco-op?Gotta remember to draw the blinds…
BTW–that’s a note to self.

Good night everyone.
We are all products of the times we were raised in and I’m an 80’s kid that turns 50 in a couple weeks. Now, if I could turn back time, I’d tell younger me that being a glibertarian is the best that you can do.
16 year old straffinrun didn’t care about war. There were anti war people in government, but I didn’t care when the doves cry. Bombs were being dropped on Baghdad and my only thought was, “Let’s go crazy.” The reflex to support my team/country time after time really showed my true colors. Over the years and against all odds, I realized that everybody wants to rule the world. It’s hard to say I’m sorry for being so out of touch.
Later in life, the importance of civil rights became clear. The state could take my breath away ala Eric Gardner. Snowden proved that somebody’s watching me always. Creepy intelligence staffers are watching my twisted sister from her pc camera and thinking, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.” Just when I think we’re alone now, another set of NSA private eyes are tracking my IPhone. Only a maniac wouldn’t recognize the danger zone we’ve entered.
The election year is kicking off soon against the backdrop of Adam Schiff impeaching Trump for a careless whisper on a phone call. Impeachment is sailing through congress as Pelosi says to Trump, “Let’s dance!” with her sledgehammer approach. Meanwhile, Bill Weld is on Twitter, #Dontyoufogetaboutme.
We don’t need another hero, but if we can get McAffee the LP nomination, nothing is gonna stop us now.
*28 in total.
Bored?
Yep. Been listening to 80’s pop all day.
Really – I couldn’t have guessed.
Too bad it wasn’t 80’s porn.
That could have gotten out of hand.
Slick. Very slick.
If McAfee is the nom, I might even not vote for Trump.
Reminds me of Harry Browne – the last guy I actually felt good about voting for. Well, except for Ron Paul.
I now pronounce it beer-thirty. Friday evening for us Nippon Glibs. Popping open a tall, cold Bitburger.
Burgers. Thx. Needed a dinner idea.
That would be great. Just too late in the evening to fire up the Weber. I have a few grass-fed Angus burgers in the freezer that would have hit the spot.
Hah. Seattle v. Toronto football match
I think one of my forever, ongoing issues with life in Japan is how they don’t seem to “get” how to make a sandwich. They try all kinds of flavors – different condiments, cheeses, breads – but they just don’t put enough meat in a sandwich to give it weight. It’s like they think the meat has to be counterbalanced with other things rather than being the solid, main purpose of the meal. It goes beyond just keeping costs down by skimping on expensive meat. They just don’t get what a sandwich is supposed to be.
/rant over.
Dude, they eat squid there. Squid. And hamburgers are $20 or whatever.
Even for the Japanese squid isn’t an everyday food staple. And you can get a really good (non-fast food) hamburger for about $10.
Oh, only $10? That makes the seaweed seem cheap. Mmm…kelp.
Okay, just being a dick, Nihon-cano. It’s early morning here…
It’s all good. I know I should be sucking it up since this was my decision to be here.
Mmmmm. Toasted Shoku pan. To me it’s just Like unbuttered toast. *shrugs*
Japanese are practically vegan anyways
Have you taught your woman how to make you a sammich?
When I really need a sammich I seek refuge at a US military base. It’s one of the reasons I stayed in uniform long enough to get a retired ID card.

Down the rabbit hole I went. ?
Last workday before vacation.
I’m having a difficult time being arsed to get the materials together for coverage, but I gotta do it.
Road trip?
No. Trying to finish “On Unknown Shores” and “Prince of the North Tower”.
Do I recall correctly that you’re taking the time off to finish up the sequel to Beyond the Edge of the Map?
Yes. I’ts at 30k-ish words right now, and the Swan is still on the west coast of a continent preventing him from continuing east. Dug did the math and realized he’s gone so far east it’s shorter to just keep going than to turn around.
So…trilogy?
Well, since “Prince of the North Tower” has a different protagonist, is set twenty-plus years before “Beyond the Edge of the Map” and has nothing to do with the other two beond being the backstory of a guy who only appears in the first scene of the first book and maybe the epilogue of the second… sure, trilogy.
I trust that next week this article will feature the Undefeated Golden Rodents vs the Undefeated Penn State Kid Fuckers.
Laptop and/or ‘net connection is even more sluggish than I am this morning. Better go clean up for work. See y’all at the Lynx!
There are no conservative values without Christianity.
Libertarianism is inherently not conservative.
Don’t get it twisted.
Libertarianism’s end result is young kids being flashed at drag queen story hour, heroin overdoses, and mass migration.
