    FREE CASCADIA!!!

      I have mixed feelings about the first story. The UK are a bunch of dicks for confiscating her CBD oil, but she knew it was illegal when she tried smuggling it in. Lousy story all the way around and her daughter is the one that suffers.

      Now hit my mother effin’ THEME music!

        It smells a bit of purposely looking for publicity.

        Ms Appleby was comforted in Southend Airport’s terminal building by fellow campaigner Hannah Deacon, who last year became the first to be allowed to bring THC oil through a UK airport legally for her seven-year-old son Alfie Dingley, who has epilepsy.

        Why was an activist waiting for her at the airport? And she said many people on social media knew what they were doing before they did it. I feel terrible for the daughter, and think those asshole drug warriors should burn in hell, but c’mon. Just keep your mouth shut and do what you gotta do and there’s a real good chance that little girl has her meds right now.

        1. Spudalicious

          If she set up her daughter as a prop, then I hate everybody involved, except for the kid.

          1. MikeS

            Oh…and the mail was there to record it all. This stinks. That poor little girl.

      2. Tres Cool

        Nice choice, potato-head.
        Have some Jack White as a counter-offer.

            The melody is almost a rip-off the the Bobby Dylan song Isis, but if anyone can make a Dylan song less strident or boring, more power to em’

          2. Chafed

            Jimi Hendrix died for doing it you monster.

          He was awesome in “It Might Get Loud” with Jimmy Page and the edge. All in one room, talking guitars and trading rifs. I have the blu-ray, but Amazon has it digitally.

          1. Tundra

            Seconded. I came out of that doc with more respect for all three of them.

            Creative people are groovy.

          2. Maybe it’s just my dislike for U2 but I thought Edge came off as an ass. Page is breaking down Link Wray and White is building a guitar out of wire and a nail, Edge plays two notes through a wall of electronics. And then there’s the bit where Jimmy is showing how he plays Kashmir (or something (it’s been a while)) Jack is on the edge (no pun) of his seat watching exactly what Page is doing and Edge might as well be polishing his nails for all the fucks he gives.

          3. Tundra

            It might be, because I didn’t think much of him before that. You know, technical skill is only a part f the process. Some of my favorite bands are barely better than some of the peeps here.

          4. blackjack

            I got dragged to see the Police once. Elvis Costello opened and was a brazillion times better than the Police.

          5. juris imprudent

            Ha, my wife dragged me to see Sting and Annie Lennox opened and totally stole the show.

          6. Chafed

            That is not a surprise. She is fantastic.

        3. Festus

          Not a fan of White but that was really good.

    “The way we structure democracy requires you to take into account people who don’t agree with you,” he said at an Obama Foundation town hall event in Berlin, Germany. “And that by definition means you’re not going to get 100 percent of what you want.

    And when you don’t, remember your pen, phone, media and spy apparatus.

    Watching the local team USL soccer game online. One of the sideline refs is a smoking hot brunette. Idk when hot, female refs became a thing, but I approve.

    1. Rhywun

      Now that hockey is effectively done and the Euro leagues are winding down, I look forward to watching more of those. It looks like I get all of them on ESPN+.

      1. Rebel Scum

        Turned out to be a good purchase when I subscribed to that. I get most/all of my alma maters football/soccer games and I get mls/usl.

        1. Rhywun

          It’s crazy worth it. 50 bucks for a whole year. If you’re into tennis they cover all the courts at a lot of tournaments, too. And that’s not even scratching the surface of all the other sports I don’t care about, there’s tons.

          1. I paid $20 for MLB At Bat (to listen to games while I’m puttering around the house).

            Given how the Royals are doing, I don’t know why.

          2. Tres Cool

            Have you met my cincy Reds? I was stunned last year when I gave up on them by Memorial Day, since I usually stick with it till July 4th. This year may set a new record.

          3. I don’t remember when I gave up last year. We have no bullpen.

          4. BakedPenguin

            Ha ha, Red Sox fan here. They’ve given up close to 2x the average runs of MLB teams so far.

            Good luck with that, guys.

          5. Jarflax

            8 games in and only 6 games back. Return of the Big Red Machine.

    At my last job working with lots and lots of Germans, I could always start a lively “discussion” at a happy hour by telling them that taxation is theft.

    No matter where they were on the political spectrum, the Krauts would blow their lid at that statement. They would go on and on about how those taxes paid for so much good stuff.

    I almost wish I still was working with them to poke them with this rent story. Because you know that shitlord who wanted to kick everyone out to build luxury apartments had to agree to set aside a few of those fancy apartments for refugees. Fuck we do that in the US, so in Germany, I’m sure it is much worse.

    * If I was feeling extra ornery, I’d tell the Germans that of course they felt that way because all the liberty minded Germans left there a hundred years ago to move to the US. They were all descended from the Krauts that learned to eat shit and smile.

    1. Rhywun

      set aside a few of those fancy apartments for refugees

      Not only that, they can kick you out of your rental and give it to a refugee. Too lazy to dig it up, but an example of this was widely reported a year or two ago.

      1. Rhywun

        Außerdem ist die Miete verdammt zu hoch!

        1. BakedPenguin

          Damn, I’m following Mojeaux’s advice and getting an old copy of PS on eBay. Adobe won’t get any money, I can stay off the ‘Cloud’, and instead of this unfunny writing, I could have a pic of Jimmy McMillan waving a German flag.

          1. CPRM

            I already told you, photohsop CS2 is ‘free’ on the adobe site, you just have to pinky swear you have a licence.

          2. BakedPenguin

            CPRM, I want the whole suite – I need video editing for what I’m trying to do. I don’t want to pay monthly rent on it, or have my stuff on the cloud, however. Unless they have Premiere Pro for pinky swear, it’s a deal breaker.

            That said, I appreciate your advice (and Mojeaux’s)

          3. CPRM

            Premiere is in the suite, it’s just one from circa 2003, if you pinkie swear you bought a for real copy.

          4. CPRM

            As well as After Affects, from that same period, pinky swear.

          5. BakedPenguin

            Thx, CPRM. I did actually buy a copy of the suite at that time, so I can say so.

          6. When all else fails, follow Mojeaux’s advice. LOL

          7. Festus

            Except for home purchasing (ruefully looks up at water spots on ceiling of ten year old home).

          8. Except for home purchasing

            True ’nuff, but I don’t give advice on that because I am not qualified.

    2. JaimeRoberto: Gentleman, Scholar, French Tickler

      I enjoy getting Germans to admit that college isn’t free, that they pay taxes to support it, and that a much smaller percentage of people in Germany go to college because of it.

      As far as the liberty minded Germans leaving 100 years ago, I wouldn’t be so sure. A lot of them left after the 1848 revolutions and ended up in Wisconsin.

      1. one true athena

        *raises hand* My grandfather’s family was one of those. They were Baptists, and Baptists were not especially popular in their area of Germany at the time (I think there was also military recruiting going on that they also wanted no part of, IIRC). But of course being somewhat desperate and dumb, they bought the words of a charlatan recruiting for the UKRAINE. “Land of freedom! You can worship all you want!” * fine print: But you will be serfs.

        so family and a bunch of co-religionists trotted off to the Ukraine, stayed about 20 years and then my ancestors said, fuck this, why aren’t we in Wisconsin with everyone else? and left for America. But this odd immigration left behind Baptists that managed to outlast the Soviets and remain in the Ukraine.

        1. Gustave Lytton

          That’s part of my family, but they went earlier and further east.

    3. Chafed

      How did they reply to everyone with a spine leaving a century ago?

    “Nationalism, particularly from the far right, has re-emerged,” he said. “And we know where that leads. Europe knows better than anyone where that leads.”

    I don’t seem to recall the far right being the cause of most of Europe’s troubles over the last century or so but whatevs.

    Funny, but I watched a Zeihan video that specifically mentioned the vulnerability of Brazilian ag exports to the infrastructure (roads) getting those products to ports. This is long, but damn, he is interesting – or at least I find him so.

  7. MikeS

    Doing taxes, got stuck on some stupid form I don’t even know if I need to fill out and decided I deserved a Moscow Mule for getting so close to done.

    Now I think I’ll have some rye to celebrate finishing the mule.

    1. Raven Nation

      He poured a drink down his other throat with the plan that it would head the previous one off at the pass, join forces with it, and together they would get the second one to pull itself together. Then all three would go off in search of the first, give it a good talking to and maybe a bit of a sing as well. He felt uncertain as to whether the fourth drink had understood all that, so he sent a fifth to explain the plan more fully and a sixth for moral support.

        That is great. And likely descriptive of my night.

          To my regret this morning, it is descriptive of last night.

    2. Rye and Mule together should have some catchy name. Rhymule? Mulery? Rhywun & More? What is your suggestion?

            One of the languages he invented WAS based on Welsh….

          4. blackjack

            I heard a Gaelic station when I was in Wales and I could not stop laughing. It sounds just like it looks on the street signs, but I couldn’t imagine it being spoken when I saw the signs.

          5. Rhywun

            Irish or Scots? Welsh is not Gaelic.

          6. blackjack

            I don’t really know. I just saw some gibberish looking street signs and then flipped through the radio dial and stopped on a Gaelic station. This was in 1998 or so.

          7. Rhywun

            Just wanted to confirm that “Gaelic” refers specifically to a language spoken in either Ireland or Scotland. Welsh is related to those, but more distantly.

          8. blackjack

            Yeah, I’m mis-remembering. I just assumed it was Gaelic based on what I knew. The intertubes hipped me to your point. Thanks, always wanna know the real deal.

          9. Rhywun

            My pleasure – it’s not often around here I get to show off some of the useless information stored in my brain pan.

          10. CPRM

            Met a French girl once and tried to talk to her about how the original Britons were pushed into Cornwall and Whales and how that shaped European history…Her ‘free’ college apparently didn’t cover that…

          11. Rhywun

            Ask her what she thinks of the Bretons.

          12. CPRM

            She didn’t even get the connection between Brittany and Britain, but sadly one of the more educated women I’ve met…maybe my celibacy makes more sense now.

    This reminded me of a riddle book I had in elementary school:

    Obama met privately with Chancellor Angela Merkel Friday, in what her office called a routine get-together of former international colleagues.

    Is it just me or is it always Democrat ex-presidents who do this? It makes me nervous. You don’t need to be talking to any world leaders. You are done now. Go away.

    1. Tres Cool

      They’re just pals. After all, Clinton and AG Lynch just wanted to chat in private about grandkids and stuff. Alone. On a plane.

    2. Tejicano

      And I can only imagine what it cost the taxpayers to send his secret service escort with him.

      I believe that lifetime protection service, if continued at all, should stop at the US border. We have no need to support their desire to travel the globe. And besides, if your time in office made you that unpopular overseas you should either stay home or reap what you’ve sown.

      1. MikeS

        I believe Obama will be the first to not have it for life. I thought they dropped it back to a decade or two? Anybody remember this in the news?

        1. Raven Nation

          According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Presidents_Act it was changed to 10 years in 1994 but Obama changed it back in 2013.

          1. Rhywun

            Christ, what an asshole.

          2. MikeS

            Interesting:

            Richard Nixon relinquished his Secret Service protection in 1985, the only president to do so.

            Also; what Rhywun said.

          3. CPRM

            That’s only because he didn’t want to be caught! (for what I don’t know, but it puts the onus on you)

      2. Akira

        Lifetime protection is BS. If someone is no longer the president, there wouldn’t be much of a reason to kill them, and doing so would not have much of an effect anyway.

        Ex-presidents are citizens just like the rest of us. Let them hire their own private security or buy a gun.

        1. Gustave Lytton

          ^^this

          I’m of the opinion that even protection for the president in office should be decreased, particularly when it inconveniences ordinary Americans (their bosses) such as shutting down parts of cities or excessive motorcades. Sit in traffic asshole. Or stay in the White House.

          The Secret Service has far too large of a budget and is far too fearful of getting blamed for another assassination. Screw that. There’s 300M+ people that can take over the job. Fuck Top.Men. bullshit.

          12. Count Potato

            I’m a Giants fan, but I’ve seen enough Packers games. Not a good rookie year. He wasn’t the best receiving tight end, but ran a good post. However, on the run he hit linebackers and corners like a mid-sized truck. I can’t say that for Jason Witten.

          13. CPRM

            His nickname around here was No Yards Franks, because he only ever caught it on the goal line. Finley was the one who ran the post.

    he campaign’s spokesman Rouzbeh Taheri said the movement had radicalised as government measures to cool the property market have failed to work.

    “Many say this is a type of class struggle. Yes that’s what it is. But we did not start it. We’re taking defensive measures against the class struggler from the top who has for years been fighting against tenants.”

    The “Expropriate Deutsche Wohnen & Co.” initiative, named after the biggest private player in Berlin, targets companies with more than 3,000 apartments in their portfolios.

    I get a déja vu feeling here.

    1. Tejicano

      Hmm… The German government is stepping in to take control of private capital to push the market towards a socialist outcome. I think I’ve seen this movie before.

    Anyone else work in agriculture?
    My prediction: regardless of Brazil’s infrastructure they grow a shit ton of soybeans and are a few dollars a bushel cheaper this time of year since they are in their harvest.
    The USDA will put out a report Tuesday telling us we have way more grain than we thought we had or need worldwide and the grain futures markets will shit the bed.

            Yeah, I did too, although early 20’s.

            But all these assholes would look at us and say “oh, they have their fancy coding/computer skills, it must be privilege.” They never did a real day of work in their lives, never had their hands chapped, burnt or frozen on the job. Never faced a 3 mile walk home after midnight and after an 8-10 hour shift. Never worked to improve themselves at the job they were doing. Effete leftist scumbags.

            It’s almost a maxim: whatever leftists decry, they are. See what they hate, and you can almost always turn a mirror on them. If they know about privilege, it’s because it’s all they know.

          4. DrOtto

    4. Spudalicious

      46. And it should have been lower, because calling someone, gay, fag, or fairy was common in grade school.

      1. Rhywun

        I was a lower middle class white kid who went to ghetto schools and whose best friend for a while was a rich black kid. I would break this fucking test if I tried to take it.

          Saying you’re friends with black people makes you racist, so you’re like a triple racist.

        Man, I didn’t even think of that! Have to lower my privilege!

      I have never been called “fag.”
      I have never been called “dyke.”
      I have never been called a “fairy,” or any other derogatory slur for homosexuals.

      Lets see I’m totally straight…been called: fag, dyke, fairly, cocksucker, rectum wrecker, “Hide your cornhole from that guy…”. Have these people not been around groups of men?

      I have never tried to hide my sexuality.

      Why yes, I HAVE been pursued by women I wanted nothing to do with and just let them come to the conclusion I was gay and not correct them.

      I don’t have any student loans.

      No, I paid them off when I was 29. Left unchecked.

            CPRM is right. Nickleback does not deserve the hate they get. And that Saturday Night cover is fucking awesome. One verse is sung by Kid Rock, Dime Bag from Pantera is on guitar. It kicks ass.

    POsted this on the Tweeters as well: a colleague of a close friend was pondering why there aren’t any female libertarians. My friend offered me as an example, Now this colleague wants to go out to happy hour, all 3 of us. Presumably so she can grill me.

    So let’s just keep the myth of the libertarian woman going, shall we?

    2. Akira

      If you promise a certain demographic free stuff and legally enshrined privileges that nobody else gets, you will get a lot of support from that demographic.

      The DNC aggressively panders to women. It’s been my contention for a while that the function of feminism is to push for endless entitlements and privileges for women and invent logic to portray this as mere “equality”.

      Libertarianism does not promise women anything except the right to do whatever you want so long as it’s not aggression against others. Boooooring.

      In short, if you pander to a demographic, you’ll get more of their support. It’s just “bread and circuses” on a demographic level.

    2. Festus

      By “explore” I assume you mean “plunder”?

      1. slumbrew

        Indeed. TBF, nobody else drinks it so I have been encouraged to.

        I’ve been dipping in for enough years that I have added a few bottles to the collection out of a sense of obligation. But, really, it’s essentially my satellite single malt collection at this point. These bottles just last far longer than the ones I bring home.

        I went through an Ani phase for a bit, but don’t know that one.

        This remains a gem of a song. I am a sucker for horns, so that colors my view.

        1. Festus

          She’s a hell of an arranger. I don’t dig all of her output but she’s but she has some real gems.

  25. AlmightyJB

    “We are in favour of these things coming under communal control and managed for the well-being of the community, and not for the well-being of the few who want to get rich quickly and ruthlessly.”

    What could f’g go wrong.

  26. AlmightyJB

    “Obama: Democrats are having a ‘circular firing squad’ over ‘purity’”

    Carry on

    1. Rhywun

      Yeah, I’m enjoying the hell out of it.

    1. CPRM

      Well, it should be, but it was ignored because TEAM. Now they have Trump. Karma has never come around to me, but it has for the Democrats.

    2. AlmightyJB

      Look if you want the Teen Vogue vote you need to skip.the hair smelling and put it right in her butt.

      1. Count Potato

        Susanna Hoffs hair smells terrific.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Would sniff

        2. J. Frank Parnell

          i don’t believe you, please send her over so I can confirm.

    3. BakedPenguin

      Wasn’t Eva Longoria at the Flores event? I AM NOT advocating unwanted touching, but if you’re going to do it, why in hell would you go after Flores over Longoria in that context? I don’t get it. It’s like going to a buffet, and choosing Brussle sprouts over bacon.

      1. AlmightyJB

        Maybe he didn’t want his dick.to fall off.

        1. BakedPenguin

          Bacon, dude. Bacon. Some things require sacrifice.

    4. Rhywun

      It’s so obvious you’d think someone in the MSM would have notic– oh. Never mind.

    5. Festus

      Biden set himself up as the sacrificial goat. The lefties want Kamala and they’ll soon get Kamalaed, good and hard.

  27. AlmightyJB

    “Obama met privately with Chancellor Angela Merkel Friday, in what her office called a routine get-together of former international colleagues.”

    So he’s still the President of Europe? Bang up job Barackie.

    1. CPRM

      So no European country has an election coming up that he could be seen to be interfering with?

      1. AlmightyJB

        As long as it benefits the “right people” what does that matter?

  28. AlmightyJB

    “Three double blind randomised controlled trials have proven CBD, an element found in cannabis plants, can reduce the number of seizures for those with Dravet and Lennox Gastaut syndromes.”

    But someone might enjoy it. Won’t someone think of the children?

  29. AlmightyJB

    WTF, TTU tearing it up.

  30. RE: Tranny treatments on grade schoolers.

    At what point do these docs start getting their licenses pulled for violating the Hippocratic Oath?

    I’m guessing in 40 or 50 years people will look back on this the same way we look back on Mengele or Unit 731.

    1. AlmightyJB

      No fucking shit, it’s horrific. Doctors and parents need put in jail.

      1. Tundra

        No worries. The mutilated kids will be back.

        With guns.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Hopefully they target the guilty and not just a random crowd.

    2. Chafed

      I think you are right about the time frame. I saw a documentary that interviewed former East German women Olympians. I can’t remember the name of it. These women were given ridiculous amounts of anabolic steroids. One of them ultimately opted to transition to male. This former woman didn’t do it because she long felt she was truly a man. She did it because it most closely matched what she had become. It was tremendously sad because he had no idea what had been done to him until many years after the fact.

  31. Not an Economist

    I didn’t want to post on a dead thread but there is a reason nuclear isn’t popular with some people. Nuclear won’t necessarily force the world to move in a direction they approve of.

    1. AlmightyJB

      They don’t want a solution. They want power.

      1. AlmightyJB

        And money.

      2. Not an Economist

        As I said, a direction they want the world to move in.

    2. Rhywun

      It’s just Team shit. One team has decided to be against it. No further thought required.

      1. AlmightyJB

        Also, the anti-nuke protesters from back in the day can never admit being wrong. That sanctimony dies hard.

      2. Festus

        Not necessarily. Wifey grew up close to Hanford and she hates the idea of Nuclear power. She’s as centrist as they come but thanks to indoctrination she has a visceral fear of it.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Well concerns about waste were legitimate for quite some time. Technology has improved for a while now though.

          1. Festus

            Sure. That was forty years ago but the lessons stuck. People don’t respond to logic and science, they respond to fear-mongering.

          2. AlmightyJB

            Ttuth

          3. AlmightyJB

            Or Truth:)

  32. Raven Nation

    Based on the “Don Escaped…” rule, TTU will win this.

    1. AlmightyJB

      If MSU keeps running and gunning they will for sure.

  33. Apparently, there’s some rap song flying up the country charts, I listened to some redneck discussing why it ain’t country and he made the completely rational point that just because you put the word “Horse” in a song it doesn’t automatically become a country song. Fair enough, but then one of the examples the guy uses to make this case is “Wild Horses”, I know that The Rolling Stones are considered a Rock and Roll/Blues act but they do delve into Country and “Wild Horses” is ejemplo numero dos. My question for you musically knowledgable Glibs is this- All the online lyrics for 19th Nervous Breakdown say it’s ‘Sealing wax’ and I always thought it was ‘Ceiling Wax’, you know, a little play on words and to show that the subject of Mick’s scorn came from so very affluent and such idly rich parents that father could waste time on such nonsense. Perfecting ‘Sealing wax’ would be an entirely reasonable thing for certain people, i.e. chemists and such folks, to do, however, no one waxes their ceiling or has need of a perfect ceiling wax. It’s just common sense, isn’t it?

    1. I may not know music, but I know what I like.

      And I think debating genre is pointless.

      1. MikeS

        And I think debating genre is pointless.

        Exactly. Hard Rock is the best and everyone knows it deep down. No need to argue.

        1. That German band you posted a while back was muy bueno.

          1. MikeS

            Glad you liked them…was it Eisbrecher? I forget. They’re my fav, but I’ve gotten into a few others: Oomph!, Megaherz, Stahlmann

        2. CPRM

          But what is hard rock? What is metal? why am I naked?

          1. “why am I naked?”

            Visit from STEVE SMITH?

          2. Chafed

            Q titty links.

          3. Festus

            I warned you to stay away from Diamond Dave but would you listen?

    2. Rhywun

      there’s some rap song flying up the country charts

      SYNTAX ERROR

      1. AlmightyJB

        Meh, Country has been pop for a while. Not unexpected.

        1. MikeS

          A sub-genre of modern country has been rap for a while now.

          1. Rhywun

            I’m struggling to even conceive what that would sound like. Enh, I don’t want to know.

          2. MikeS

            I’ve heard a very small sampling and it was horrendous. Pop-Country has really gone to shit.

          3. Festus

            At least Shania had the good sense to have a great set of “producers”…

          4. Gustave Lytton

            Not so good at picking husbands…

          5. Festus

            *giddily takes number and joins the line*

          6. Chafed

            *Lines up behind Festus*

          7. slumbrew

            Like this, I assume. I like that, but that’s probably colored by its association with a show I loved.

          8. CPRM

            Actual “country” song now, yuge hit.

          9. Festus

            Horrific.

          10. CPRM

            Exactly my resignation to go for the full time job I have access to, this shit sucks.

          11. slumbrew

            I do believe Trace Adkins would kick that guy’s ass.

          12. Rhywun

            I… can’t even.

            Needs more product placement, torso, and Jesus poses.

          13. CPRM

            That would make it him standing in his Hanes tighty whities with his arms out…Oh, I see what you did there, with your secret gay agenda!

          14. dbleagle

            Horrible, This one is barely tolerable. But hunting, fishing and loving is all right.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l3ukWqRU4s

          15. Rhywun

            your secret gay agenda

            Oh I’d totally do him; but I’d still have to tell him afterwards that his music is complete shit.

    3. westernsloper

      Sealing wacks is an eskimo term which was appropriated by Jaggar.

      1. Is that like when you get sloppy seconds from your Eskimo brother?

    4. CPRM

      I believe this is the the song. Yeah, I hate people.

      1. Festus

        Promising start and then I died a little inside. Nu-Metal made the crossover to Bro-Country.

          1. Festus

            I liked it.

          2. dbleagle

            That is a new classic. Bueno and mahalo.

            Same theme and a classic.

      no one waxes their ceiling

      lol check out this guy he doesn’t even wax his ceiling. *points and laughs at the hyperbole*

    7. Chafed

      I get your point but the answer is sealing wax. When the song was written there was no longer a use for sealing wax so someone spending time perfecting is just the sort of person you described.

    1. blackjack

      That burned me, it was so hot.

      Fake News! The one on the left is clearly doing the pelvic retreat which is the anti-scissoring.

          Should wear that to the next Women’s March, accented with a jaunty Maga beret.

    3. Tundra

      Meh. Fake lesbos.

      1. AlmightyJB

        Those are best kind. You don’t want to see real lesbos. Lol.

        1. Tundra

          Lol is right. I have many in my life. Not one looks like either of those.

          1. Festus

            I knew a couple but my best efforts did not turn either of them and that was when I was at the height of my powers.

          2. slumbrew

            There are lots and lots of lesbians around where I live – e.g., my dog-walker & her wife. None of the look like that.

          3. Festus

            These were softball girls and there is something to be said for team sports and pheremones. Ah well, probably would have led to a morning full of regret and months of awkwardness. Just as well that neither pulled the trigger.

          4. CPRM

            I have a story I won’t share…yet.

    “Hell Yeah, John Cho Is Playing Spike Spiegel in Netflix’s ‘Cowboy Bebop’

    The live-action remake will also star Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda​, and Alex Hassell.

    A few months after Netflix announced it was making a live-action version of Cowboy Bebop (for better or worse), the streaming service put out the first of its cast list—and from the looks of this thing, the show’s shaping up to be pretty rad.

    John Cho will play Spike Spiegel, the intrepid leader and former hitman of the Red Dragon Syndicate, according to The Hollywood Reporter—and thank god for that. For once, Hollywood seems to have gotten the message about whitewashing Asian roles. (Namely: Stop!!!) ”

    https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/panjwm/cowboy-bebop-john-cho-cast-list-spike-spiegel-netflix-live-action-series-vgtrn

    Spike Spiegel is Jewish, you stupid assholes.

    3. AlmightyJB

      I should be tapping out but have a pretty good bourbon buzz going at the moment so not sure I’d go right to sleep.

      1. Rhywun

        I’m just getting started. Negroni with a splash of orange blossom water and vanilla is helping to roll things along.

        1. slumbrew

          God, Negroni’s are great. So tasty, but so strong. I’ve gotten myself in trouble drinking those more than once.

          1. Rhywun

            It is ridiculously delicious. Since I ‘upped my cocktail game’ as someone encouragingly noted recently, I’ve learned the hard way how tasty they are.

          2. slumbrew

            And so simple. Campari. Vermouth. Gin. Equal parts.

            Done.

          3. Rhywun

            I had no idea how versatile vermouth is. It’s really been an awakening for me.

          4. slumbrew

            Vermouth is starting to get some well-deserved respect in this country. It doesn’t have to be an afterthought, but can be a main ingredient in its own right.

        2. AlmightyJB

          Nice. Can’t find Campari here, just Aperol.

          1. Rhywun

            Huh. Campari seems much better known. (I’d heard of it, not the other one.)

          2. slumbrew

            Aperol was made as a lower-alcohol version of Campari – it’s Campari’s baby brother.

            Aperol has its attractions. Aperol and soda is tasty but won’t knock you on your ass. Good for extended sessions / lunch / whathaveyou.

          3. Rhywun

            It sounds like one of those medicines you need to “ask your doctor” about.

          4. AlmightyJB

            Yeah, I can’t find Camparo anywhere and even Aperol only a few places.

          5. Rhywun

            Huh. I had no trouble finding it and here in NYC our liquor stores are all mom’n’pops with very limited selection. Maybe it’s a regional distribution thing.

    2. KSuellington

      Damn. Every story about Venezuela gets a bit worse, it’s been a terrible and predictable slide. When Chavez first took over twenty years ago I told my friend who thought “power for the people” would work out there, that it would fail badly. Some things aren’t that hard to see coming. I spent three years living and traveling throughout South America in the end of 90’s beginning of the 00’s. Never spent time in Venezuela, but most of the other countries down there. It was pretty violent before, but relatively prosperous. I can only imagine how crazy the cities are there right now.

      After I broke with my ex I had a chance with a Norwegian girl here on a student exchange but one of my closest buddies died suddenly from sleep apnea and what with the grief and funeral shit it put me off my game pretty badly. I liked her quite a lot. Her red-headed friend married one of my buddies and is a citizen now.

      1. Rhywun

        One time way back before my own student exchange trip, I went to a sort-of weekend camp and fell head over heels for a Norwegian boy there. Then I lost a contact lens and my weekend went tits-up. Doubt he even noticed me. Yay.

    I’m watching the end of the Blues Brothers. Late night coffee and driving are bad for my sleep. I forgot how many gems it had.

    The scene with Carrie Fisher firing an M-16 and Jake talking his way out of death is great. The police dispatcher authorizing the use of gratuitous violence was funny and true. The number of cars destroyed is startling.

    Does anyone know if the city blocks where the Illinois Nazis start their car chase is the same part of town Steven Seagal did his foot chase in Above The Law?

    1. Festus

      I love everything about that movie except for the music. You can disown me now.

      1. Chafed

        I have mixed feelings about the music. Some of it works for me and some doesn’t. I appreciate Ackroyd and Belushi honoring these musicians they clearly loved.

        1. Festus

          There is that. I saw it in the theater when I was 15. Rhythm and blues do almost nothing for me but I like the blues and most jazz. Don’t get me started on Motown.
