    Yusef waits till next week….

    1. Tres Cool

      Hey YUFUS!

  2. Tres Cool

    Hail Cascadia!

  3. hayeksplosives

    You are all insane and I love you for it.

    1. Tres Cool

      Insane? By who’s metric ?

      I think I can safely speak for most of us if I say “right back at ya”, tho.

      1. Not Adahn

        Truth. Show of hands of everyone who is waiting until HX decides to replace her houseboy and then will submit resumes?

        1. hayeksplosives

          Oh my.

          Well, I’m not hating the idea

          1. Tres Cool

            Just let me know where to send d̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶p̶i̶c̶s̶ my ?????????? ?????.

          2. My resume:
            Underachiever.
            Fat, hairy, and bald.
            Hang out here.
            Willing to disappoint you in ways you didn’t even know were possible.
            Will not put toilet seat back down solely out of principle.

            Did I win?

          3. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Anyone else waiting for the inevitable “Dad?” response to banginglc?

          4. Not Adahn

            My main sticking point is that your recommendations might not give me the earning potential I now enjoy, since government-adjacent industries tend to be infected with credentialism. I am just tearing through the semiconductor industry’s attitude of meritocracy uber alles (no advanced degree here).

            Of course, if my main responsibilities were to work out, get buff and be available to ease the tensions of a long, hard workday, well then…

          5. hayeksplosives

            Nice. I wouldn’t want to lead anyone astray.

            I told mr Splosives that he could quit working but only if he became the housekeeper, and by that I don’t mean cleaning lady, I mean bill paying, maintenance, etc.

            Works for us. But he doesn’t always hold up his end of the bargain.

          6. Not Adahn

            I have pricey tastes. Now if you were home often enough to distract me that might be enough, but since you work long hours, I’ll need enough money to keep me in art and guns.

          7. hayeksplosives

            Oh geez.

            Still gotta be cheaper than keeping this man in guitars, and at least I’d enjoy the guns, too LOL

          8. Not Adahn

            Yeah, I thin since you’re only supporting one houseboy, I’d probably need to have my own gainful employment to keep us both happy. If your word can get me a job that would support (own) a one-family house, let me know and let’s crunch the numbers.

    2. Not Adahn

      *Nods. Sits in lotus position and ponders the primal sameness of all existence*

    3. I wasn’t until I started reading Sugarfree stories and clicking HM links. But, sadly, I am now.

      1. hayeksplosives

        I figured out that I get along fine with sober/daytime HM but I absolutely will not go there when he gets rocked and starts posting barf inducing stuff.

        1. Chafed

          You are wise in the ways of the Gliberati.

        2. DEG

          I go there.

          But I’m weird.

          1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Hold on….that’s considered “weird’?

            THAT explains so much in my life!

  4. Not Adahn

    BUT YOU NO HERE LISTEN STEVE SMITH WOE.

    Are you kidding? Anything that makes STEVE SMITH sad is EXTREMELY important. At least for those who want to live their lives without perforated colons.

    1. Tres Cool

      -1 Mr. Hands

      1. Talk to the hands, ’cause the face don’t care.

  5. Tres Cool

    Some of the finest legal minds in the news.

    1. Count Potato

      “After hopping around several Downtown restaurants and bars late April 30 and into the morning hours of May 1, the judges tried to enter the Red Garter Gentleman’s Club, police said, but it was closed. They went to the nearby White Castle instead.”

      White Castle because the strip club was closed?

      1. Celebrating at the Red Garter was supposed to be the party of the first part; then the White Castle was the party of the second part.

          1. Tres Cool

            One of my favorite Marx Bros. bits.

          2. Not Adahn

            Yet another point of contention between myself and OMWC. I am completely in the Marx Bros. camp, while he seems to be a Three Stooges supporter.

            I am quite certain that we would find us on differing sides of whatever controversy is roiling the chemistry community, but since I’ve let my ACS membership lapse, I have no idea what that would be.

          3. Abbot and Costello.

          4. CPRM

            Hyperbole WINS!?

          5. Not Adahn

            Abbot and Costello are like Laurel and Hardy, they stand on their own.

          6. Insert “WHY NOT BOTH” GIF here.

      2. You’d probably see better women at the White Castle. The Red Garter is the worst strip club in town. The only reason it stays in business is that it’s the only strip club in the downtown area. People get drunk at classy bars, stop by the Red Garter, see the disappointment and shame, then go home for the night.

        Whereas the White Castle, at that time of night, is filled with hot 22 year olds who got drunk at the same classy bars and are binging on the closest fast foot.

        1. food*

          I don’t want to give you the idea that all of the 22 y/o’s have a foot fetish.

    2. Chafed

      Maybe I will apply to become a judge.

    3. DEG

      Indiana? Not Florida? Huh.

  6. I see the post still has a Swiss Servator byline.

    1. Swiss must’ve been abducted by Steve?

    2. I was editing.

  7. Does anyone know how to tell which CV axle is going bad? When I had it jacked up last week i couldn’t figure out which side was bad. I figured I’d wait until it got a little bit worse and re-check. But, i’m getting impatient.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      Is it making noise while driving? Drive along a wall with the windows down and see if you can hear the side?

      1. It has the tell-tale clicking noise when turning. It will do it turning either direction, usually during acceleration.

    2. DenverJ

      Doesn’t matter, they should be replaced as a pair. However, in my xp, the damage is usually caused by a bad boot. So look for a torn boot or missing boot clamp or leaking grease around the boot.

      1. Sean

        ⬆⬆⬆

      2. Count Potato

        +1

      3. No leaking boots or grease. Already checked.

        Also, I will only replace the side that is damaged. This is on my 96 olds LSS. I have committed to doing the bare minimum required to keep it running. I’m not turning this $40 job into an $80 job.

        1. DenverJ

          Symptoms occuring during acceleration indict the inner bearing rathe than the outer. If you jack up the car, you may be able to feel a looseness when you grab the tire on the front and back and apply pressure side to side (like you were trying to turn left or right with your hands, if that makes sense).

          1. DenverJ

            Forget that. OMWC way is better. Also, I was wrong and there is no need ro replace both axles at the same time.

  8. Gustave Lytton

    Why is this bylined by the Swiss one? What happened to STEVE SMITH in the basement over July 4? And by happen, mean rape.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      And it’s gone.

    2. I was editing, and forgot to switch out. Please don’t tell STEVE SMITH. I am still recovering from our last, uh, disagreement.

    1. Nephilium

      How big of an iguana did he think he saw?

      1. Not Adahn

        His pool service was entirely staffed with little people. Really little people.

    2. Count Potato

      “Steve Kavashansky, owner of Iguana Busters”

      If there is something green in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?

      Not this asshole, because his employees can’t tell a lizard from Raoul the cabana boy.

    3. juris imprudent

      Speaking of that, when was the last we heard from Mr. Lizard?

      1. Tulip

        Oh no

      2. DEG

        uhhh… shit.. I don’t remember when I last saw him around.

  9. Tulip

    Online dating may turn me into a man hater

    1. Not Adahn

      Aww, cute non-psycho didn’t turn out as advertised?

    2. Sean

      Well, that seems extreme.

      You’ll have to give us some details, please.

      1. Tulip

        Saving up for an article

        1. Not Adahn

          That’s the spirit!

        2. Count Potato

          For Jezebel? 😉

          1. Tulip

            Maybe. I’m becoming more qualified daily. Sheesh.

        3. Sean

          “Gather round Glibs, Tulip channels her inner Zardoz and tells us why the penis is evil.”

          ?

          1. Tulip

            That’s a great title. I may steal that.

          2. Sean

            I’d be honored.

        4. Raphael

          I’m looking forward to the read.

    3. You weren’t one already?

      1. Tulip

        No, but it’s becoming more likely every day. Yikes.

    4. Tulip

      He was actually fine. It’s the rest that just….shudders

      1. Not Adahn

        Well, you only need one to measure up.

        1. Tres Cool

          So we’re not doing phrasing ?

          1. juris imprudent

            I think it suitably ambiguous.

      2. Was? Is that over? Did you kill him? Is his body in your back yard? The River?

    5. And are you saying we shouldn’t be sending you dick pics?

      1. Tres Cool

        /deletes email

      2. Not Adahn

        Not low-quality ones. I mean, would it kill you to use a little pancake at least, and c’mon, you call that lighting?

      1. Tulip

        I expected this from Ted. Gives Trigger Hippie disappointed stare.

        1. Trigger Hippie

          *long, contented sigh*

          Ah, then my work here is done.

        2. Trigger Hippie

          See, I go with the obvious and Ted S. raises the bar to a whole other level of horrible. Bravo, Ted.

          1. Tulip

            Ted’s was funny

          2. Trigger Hippie

            Yeah, agreed.

        3. Count Potato

          Oh come on, Hall & Oates are great.

          1. Sean

            I’ll cop to having them loaded into my car’s playlist.

          2. We went to a Hall and Oates indoor stadium show last year and it totally rocked.

    6. Old Man With Candy

      You mean we didn’t?

      (sorry it didn’t meet expectations but hey, you now have a story)

    7. Mad Scientist

      Tulip, if it’s any consolation, it’s not any different dating women online.

      1. Nephilium

        When I was last trying online dating, I don’t recall ever getting a dick pic. I do recall lots of no responses and profile lies.

        1. Tulip

          Aren’t you a guy?

        2. Tulip

          A guy looking for women?

          1. Nephilium

            I am. I’m pointing out that men looking for women online do not receive random dick pics, unlike women doing online dating.

          2. If women would send more random tit pics then . . .well, I wouldn’t spend so much time looking at Q’s posts.

          3. Tulip

            So far no dick pics, but lots of shirtless photos asking me to show my fits. So classy

          4. Not Adahn

            To be honest, showing bobs and vagene are fairly typical in this modern age.

          5. Lackadaisical

            I’ve had a few instances myself. Though I knew them both well beforehand.

        3. Mad Scientist

          Every woman’s dating profile ever: I love to laugh!

          1. DEG

            “Dog mom” is becoming just as popular.

          2. Lackadaisical

            Run. Fast.

          3. Not Adahn

            It depends on the dog. I once stayed with a woman for three years because she had an awesome dog.

          4. Mad Scientist

            Yeah, my wife brought a dog along on our first date. We joke that I agreed to more dates because I loved the dog so much.

          5. Lackadaisical

            The dog in and of itself isn’t the problem. Well, it would be for me, but that’s beside the point. It’s the kind of person who calls themself a “dog mom”.

        4. Tulip

          I have hopefully blocked them before getting dick pics

      2. Not Adahn

        Someday I will tell the horror stories of eHarmony dates.

        1. Raven Nation

          Not to diminish your horrors but, in two weeks my wife and I, who met through e-Harmony, will celebrate our third anniversary.

          1. Not Adahn

            Congrats!

          2. DEG

            Congratulations!

      1. Trigger Hippie

        I was hoped that’s what you were going to link to and bam! You step up and deliver.

      2. Trigger Hippie

        And now I’m down the rabbit hole:

        https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4St_zcwa2Kc

        1. CPRM

          Hey, that video got him Rose McGowen (not a prize I’d fight for, but seems some men would). No word on if that was before or after she exchanged ‘favors’ with Harvey.

          1. Trigger Hippie

            I was into Rose when she did Jawbreaker but she got way too weird too fast soon after.

          2. Trigger Hippie

            …which is odd given I still swoon when I see and hear this other woman:

            https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nFuP9FXLF8Q

          3. Who doeskin like Joan Jett?

          4. CPRM

            Seeing that made me think of Shannyn Sassoman, which lead me to this thing that I’m still trying to process.

          5. Trigger Hippie

            Hype, Body Dalle.

            CPRM, I use to think Shannyyn was soooooo cute back in the day. Not a lot of acting range but I enjoyed her role in Wristcutters. I didn’t know she was a musician as well. Interesting stuff. I usually don’t lean towards the ethereal but I like it when I’m feeling mellow.

          6. Trigger Hippie

            er, Brody

          7. Raven Nation

            “Who doeskin like Joan Jett?”

            Lita Ford and Sandy West?

          8. Rhywun

            Other than I think Scream (?) I only know her from Doom Generation, where she is super-hawt if you’re into that sort of thing. And her character is the exact opposite of her current personality.

          9. CPRM

            Doom Generation, AKA that movie a friend made me watch because that guy ate cum. Now that’s a whole porn category. Dogs and cats sleeping together I tell you!

          10. Rhywun

            I love that movie. One of the first DVD’s I purchased. Hot cast, great music. It gets a little less fun at the end, though.

          11. Trigger Hippie

            Huh, I missed Doom Generation. I haven’t really paid too much attention to her since Planet Terror.

          12. CPRM

            Doom Generation was well before Planet Terror.

          13. Trigger Hippie

            Huh, guess I just whiffed on that movie. Oh well, not a big fan of games made into movies anyway.

    8. DEG

      Misandry is not pretty.

      Though I have no advice here as on-line dating has been a bit of a wasteland for me.

      1. Tulip

        Come read my messages and see how much you like men

        1. AlmightyJB

          I do not miss being single. If I ever found myself single again, I’m not sure I would date. Maybe look for a FWB situation.

          1. Mad Scientist

            Every guy is looking for that, which is part of the reason Tulip is having tough luck.

          2. Gustave Lytton

            Ditto. I’m glad I’m out of that.

        2. DEG

          Several years ago, a woman I knew posted on facebook a selection of messages she received from men on OKCupid, and her responses.

          I humorously replied with, “So, instead of sending a short message that shows I read her profile, instead I should write ‘ur hot, wan meat?’ or something like that and I’ll get a response?”

    1. Spudalicious

      I thought he got shot cleaning a pool?

  10. The Late P Brooks

    Online dating may turn me into a man hater

    Let me help.

    1. Tulip

      You can speed up the process? Remember, I hang out here voluntarily.

  11. The Late P Brooks

    I should be a Cleveland Brown, that’s how good of a let-her-down-er I am. Or so I have been told.

    1. Nephilium

      Speaking of the Browns, a local sports writer is upset about Dr. Michael Lewis’ (of Emory University) football fan rankings. For reference, the rankings of the best five fan groups:

      1. Dallas.
      2. New England.
      3. Philadelphia.
      4. N.Y. Giants.
      5. Pittsburgh.

      Worst five fan groups:

      27: Cleveland.
      28. Cincinnati.
      29. Jacksonville.
      30 Tennessee.
      31. Kansas City.
      32. L.A. Rams.

      1. juris imprudent

        I assume they are complaining about being over-rated.

      2. AlmightyJB

        Out of both list, Cleveland is the only one he got right.

      3. Not Adahn

        To be fair, if you are not a compete dick, you can attend a Cowboys tailgate party and be given enough beer and BBQ to be completely satisfied.

        1. I would have thought that if you were a complete dick you’d fit right in with the Cowboy fans.

          1. hayeksplosives

            Winner!

        2. Trigger Hippie

          The same at Arrowhead, unless you’re a Raiders fan. I’ve seen Raiders fans thrown down stairs and over railings in Arrowhead. Not even Broncos fans receive that treatment.

  12. Tulip

    Guys, wtf is up with pictures in cars or bathrooms?

    1. Do you mean mirror and front seat selfies? If so, lots of women are guilty of that too. I don’t get it either.

      1. DEG

        Count me in as not getting it either.

        I don’t look at men’s profiles since I’m a man looking for a woman, but the other thing that drives me up a wall are the snapchat/instagram filters.

        1. Who doesn’t like dog ears and a funny nose?

          I’ll tell you who doesn’t, me.

          1. Tulip

            Yep, just give me an honest picture of yourself

          2. CPRM

            The thing is, cameras are never ‘honest’. Choose the lies you want.

          3. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            If that isn’t in a movie soon, I may have to have a few words with you, C.

            OK–movie, bumper sticker…you know what I mean

      2. Gustave Lytton

        I like the car seat selfies on Linkedin profiles. Almost as good as the ones of the entire family. I look at those and things like putting religious/hobbies unrelated to work skills on resumes as red flags.

    2. Trigger Hippie

      We talking online dating profile selfies? If so, couldn’t tell ya. I did the online bit several years ago and just had a female friend take my picture in my living room.

      1. MikeS

        go on…

    3. Mad Scientist

      They’re in the bathroom checking themselves out in the mirror, then they snap a photo. Cars, because guys believe women are impressed by them.

      1. I’m amazed at the amount of women that take their picture in the bathroom mirror and don’t even straighten up the counter first. I guess it’s good that they advertise their filth, but I would be embarrassed, and I’m not a neat freak.

      2. Tulip

        I know right? Make an effort guys!

      3. Not Adahn

        because guys believe women are impressed by them.

        My time owning a BMW indicates that they are.

        1. Mad Scientist

          In my experience, women shouldn’t date men who use a car as a proxy for self-esteem. Likewise, men shouldn’t date women who are impressed by the checkbook that paid for the car.

          1. Not Adahn

            Anecdote:

            I bought a Z3 back in… whenever Z3’s were sill being made. I drove up to a Circuit City (back when they still existed) the amount of salespeople who poured out to meet me was ungaublich. Worse than the 2020 Democrat primary.

    4. CPRM

      That’s where we spend 90% of our time. You want honesty in your relationship, right?

    5. Tres Cool

      I guess your alternative is the classic ‘slav squat’.

      1. Raphael

        Stay cheeki breeki, my droog.

        *slav squats with a flask of vodka*

        1. Tres Cool

          adidas warm-ups? Top unzipped to show chains ?

            Top that off with one of those British-style driving caps or and you’re khorosho, moy brat.

          2. Trigger Hippie

            Ah, shit wrong photo. Nevermind. Don’t we have a stock photo floating about?

          3. Rhywun

            He seems nice, especially with the “I love you” hand-signs.

          4. The word you’re looking for is gopnik.

          5. Trigger Hippie

            Raph comes through!

          6. Rhywun

            It’s so comically specific.

          7. Trigger Hippie

            People done forgot about poor white trash
            And if that ain’t gopnik, I’ll kiss your ass

          8. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            Ted, let’s split the difference, and call it ‘chavnik’.

  14. The Late P Brooks

    No leaking boots or grease. Already checked.

    Also, I will only replace the side that is damaged.

    Try jacking it up up one side at a time and turning the wheel by hand at full steering lock, to see if you can hear/feel the click, which is caused by wear in the joint inner and outer grooves. In a turn, the CV balls run in an elliptical path, and when they go through that worn spot, that is what makes the noise. *if you didn’t already know that.

    1. Will do.

      On a related note. Harbor Freight Daytona brand jacks: I’ve heard good things but am leery to buy anything HF that is life critical. I’d like to get a full size floor jack, but unless it’s the HF, I can’t justify the cost.

      1. Mad Scientist

        Harbor Freight floor jacks are fine. The aluminum ones are great for heaving over the pit wall, but if you don’t need to do that, get a steel one. And you should be using a jack stand anyway.

        1. And you should be using a jack stand anyway.

          I do.

          My trolley jack just doens’t lift things high enough and the bottle jack doesn’t fit under all the cars.

          1. Mad Scientist

            Trolley jack up, insert jack stand and lift to highest level. Drop trolley jack and place a 4×4 or some other solid thing that takes up space on lifting pad, raise car again, extend jack stand. Extra steps, but not a lot of time.

          2. That’s what I do now. Clearly I need to spend $150 to save those precious seconds. This is American after all.

          3. Mad Scientist

            Here’s the best way to save precious seconds.

          4. CPRM

            But can it save 15 minutes on car insurance? whatever that means.

          5. AlmightyJB

            Not bad really. I don’t work on my cars anymore though.

        2. Sean

          I have mini jack stands for my Traxxas rc car. My friend thought they were hysterical the first time he saw them.

      2. Count Potato

        Never rely on a floor jack. Use jack stands.

        1. DEG

          Seconded.

        2. That’s what concrete blocks are for.

          1. westernsloper

            Wood stumps or GTFO

          2. Blocks are for long term storage, preferably in the front yard.

          3. Mad Scientist

            Camaros come standard with 4 concrete blocks.

          4. Gustave Lytton

    Unknown. Insufficient information.

  16. The Late P Brooks

    Worst five fan groups:

    27: Cleveland.
    28. Cincinnati.
    29. Jacksonville.
    30 Tennessee.
    31. Kansas City.
    32. L.A. Rams.

    No Oakland?

    FAKE NEWS!

    1. Or Arizona.

    2. AlmightyJB

      And Cincinnati fans are pretty chill. A hell of a lot more chill than Pittsburgh fans.

      1. Not Adahn

        Wait, the Bengals have fans?

        1. AlmightyJB

          There’s quite a few here in Columbus but yeah, not super vocal. Unlike the Browns fan who celebrate any first down like they just won the Super Bowl.

        2. DEG

          Yes. I’ve met one. He is a friend of a friend.

          1. CPRM

            Sure, but he lives in Canada and your parents won’t let you call long distance…

          2. Rhywun

            And his name is George Glass.

    3. Old Man With Candy

      Best fans, and I hate to admit it: Green Bay. Our one experience at Lambeau was incredibly positive. They love football, they love drinking, and they’re happy, friendly drunks.

      Any list of “worst fans” that doesn’t include Philly is ridiculous.

      1. CPRM

        And, AHEM! *FAKE COUGH*

      2. hayeksplosives

        I love the Packers’ community owned model. Everyone has skin in the game.

        NFL banned it for all other teams.

        Fuck off, slavers

        1. Not Adahn

          Fuck off, slavers

          *swoons*

        2. Gustave Lytton

          Yes. Now you can pay community ownership amounts in the form of a seat fee without actual ownership but with obligations. Work buddy bought into the Santa Clara 49ers seats partially as an investment. Eventually got out of that dog.

      3. Count Potato

        As a Giants fan, I have to disagree about Philly fans. Those motherfuckers show up. They also hate the Cowboys more than we do. Which is quite an accomplishment.

        1. creech

          Philly fans hate goldbricking athletes on their team and the other team’s stars. That makes them the best fans, not the worst.

          1. slumbrew

            Philly fans hate goldbricking athletes on their team and the other team’s stars.

            And Santa.

          2. creech

            Don;t we all hate the Santa who is running for president on the Dem ticket?

    Trolley jack up, insert jack stand and lift to highest level. Drop trolley jack and place a 4×4 or some other solid thing that takes up space on lifting pad, raise car again, extend jack stand. Extra steps, but not a lot of time.

    The ol’ wood block shuffle. I made a “spacer” for the floor jack. Two 2 x 6s on edge, with top and bottom plates. Much more stable and faster than chunks of 2 x 4s.

          Now it got dicey. I do say, I like the cut of your jib.

          1. Not Adahn

            It’s hard to tell. Yes it’s at least got a drop-forged bolster, but that’s not really a quality indicator what with tooling improvements.

          2. Spudalicious

            Looks like a Wusthof Classic.

          3. Not Adahn

            You think so? Based on the edge geometry? The length of the grind lines don’t say “German” to me. More like American.

          4. Not Adahn

            The more I look at it, the more I despair of determining where it came from other than “cheap.”

            The grind lines could easily be Chinese rather than America, and the fitment between the scale and the bolster is so poor that I’d be willing to believe Vietnam or Laos.

            Except that I’m not familiar with any cutlery company that does business in Laos. So I’m putting my money on Vietnam.

          5. Spudalicious

            Based on the Wusthof Classic I pulled out of my drawer to compare it to. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a cheap knock off.

        1. straffinrun

          Good point. We take showers in this house now that the kid is bigger. Was talking with a Japanese coworker a few years ago. “My daughter doesn’t want to take a bath with me anymore. It’s always a big fight.” Another coworker, middle aged lady, pipes in with, “Isn’t your daughter in high school?” It was awkward.

        Earphones are the best goddam invention ever as far as I am concerned.

        1. Gustave Lytton

          I’ve noticed a recent trend to blast music out of speakers again by young kids.

          1. Rhywun

            Another blast from the past making a comeback.

          2. Akira

            I’ve noticed a recent trend to blast music out of speakers again by young kids.

            While walking side by side down the street so that they’re blocking traffic from both directions? There’s a group of shitheels around here who do that sometimes.

      2. straffinrun

        Sounds like a psycho. Bet the sound he heard was coming from his own head. This American girl I know wears earphones just to keep people from talking to her. Some oyaji complained to her on the train about the sound coming from her earphones. She showed him the unconnected earphone jack.

        1. Rhywun

          wears earphones just to keep people from talking to her

          I do that every day.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            I do that in the gym for that same reason.

          2. MikeS

            I wear headphones at work and people just pretend like they can’t see them.

    4. Gustave Lytton

      Empty headed dipshit longs for a dictatorship where she will be the arm candy. Quoting Perón (either one) is right up there with wearing a Che shirt. The fuckers managed to set back and destroy one of the most successful Latin American countries. Say hello to FDR.

      1. A few years ago I saw Eva Peron’s grave in Buenos Aires. Quite small and hidden in a large cemetery, you need a privately-hired guide to lead you to it. Outside of Broadway, I’m not sure she’s the hero in her home country you might think she is, AOC. But then you might think Che is popular in Miami, too.

    5. Chafed

      She apparently doesn’t know how the story ends.

  30. MikeS

    Has anyone posted this story yet?

    FBI, ICE use driver license photos without owners’ knowledge or consent

    The records show that the technology already is tightly woven into the fabric of modern law enforcement. They detailed the regular use of facial recognition to track down suspects in low-level crimes, including cashing a stolen check and petty theft. And searches are often executed with nothing more formal than an email from a federal agent to a local contact, the records show.

    “It’s really a surveillance-first, ask-permission-later system,” said Jake Laperruque, a senior counsel at the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight. “People think this is something coming way off in the future, but these (facial-recognition) searches are happening very frequently today. The FBI alone does 4,000 searches every month, and a lot of them go through state DMVs.”

      Well, they did get free private jet rides out of it. So there’s that.

      1. Spudalicious

        I also think a billionaire pedophile would feed his children quite well.

        1. Fancy plane rides, drugs, food, booze, paradise island party — the average teen is already in just for that.
          $200 can seem like a lot of money to a teen anyway, and if you add that to the fun private island party they get to be at, what’s a little blowing ugly old guys in return?

          1. Spudalicious

            I hope they stuff him in a deep, dark hole, with a roommate named Tyrone, who has several kids of his own.

    7. l0b0t

      Those look yummy and that’s my kids’ favorite pasta shape. For me, it depends on the sauce being used but I do have a love for both the angel hair and the bucatini.

      Ooooh, nice… A little ebony and ivory thing goin’ on.

      Only second link gets a no

  36. Shot my new .380 EZ; that thing is the bomb diggity.

    If you have vagino-Americans or first timers in your family, go get one immediately.

      That’s a pretty little piece there. I’ll have to add that to my considerations list for the first handgun I want to buy/own.

      1. First time handgun owner, I’d be hardpressed to think of a better choice. Between that and the Bersa Thunder. When you get back stateside, come to CO and we’ll rage.

    My lost passport was found by my mother so crisis averted… Also for some reason I though crisis had a y in it.

    Good morning glibs.

    1. Chafed

      I’ll bite. Where did your mother find it?

      1. PieInTheSky

        Well in a bunch of other papers in a plastic bag.

        1. Chafed

          Hang your head in shame.

    2. R C Dean

      “Crysis”. I will accept this as an improvement on the original.

      I spend less time on this site on weekends, so I noticed a discussion of your hypothetical trip to the US when the thread was already dead. I have a spare bedroom at my place in Boston. You’re certainly welcome to stay there. Boston hotels are very expensive, it’s a good deal. Just to add another city in the US for your consideration.

      1. PieInTheSky

        Thanks. Ehm… is there anything to see in Boston? How’s the food?

        1. Chafed

          Boston has lots of historical sites in and around it.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            Have a cup of a tea.

        2. grrizzly

          Well, the whole American Revolution started right here: Concord, Bunker Hill, North End. The original witch trials in Salem–we had them well before the SJWs took over the campuses. Also, it’s a natural place to start a trip to Maine (I thought you were interested in that former part of Massachusetts).

          The best New England clam chowder is obviously in Boston.

        3. You may have not gone back to that old thread after I posted this, but you’re welcome to the in-law apartment in our house in the San Francisco Bay Area, and you wouldn’t be the first Glib to use it!

          1. dbleagle

            I am out in America’s Polynesian outpost and would be most welcoming to any glib who finds themselves here.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            Still afloat. HMS Victory is still an active ship.

          2. MikeS

            Not very active if it’s not afloat. Just sayin’.

          3. Gustave Lytton

            What’s the naval version of a hangar queen?

            Haven’t made it to the Constitution, but heartily recommend Victory. Simply awesome to see where Nelson was hit and then where he died. As with most sailing ships, the below decks are cramped and claustrophobic. ENGLAND EXPECTS.

        4. SP

          Skip Boston. Best wine in the USA is at our house in Phoenix. Desert would be a great experience for you, too, and I know some genuine Navajo!

          Also, Grand Canyon.

          Easy drive over to Los Angeles, too.

          1. dbleagle

            Damn SP that is cruel. Would you tell our Romanian contact to take I-10 or I-8 on an August afternoon?

          2. SP

            He’s not stupid enough to come here in August.

            I’m thinking January.

          3. MikeS

            OT 4 SP: Am I remembering correctly…do you do website design professionally? I am starting a business and will be needing a simple website set up.

          4. SP

            Indeed, my agency does websites. And I heavily discount for Glibs.

            E me at website @ this site.

        I have a couch. Its new. People may sleep on it if they need to. One at a time.

        1. straffinrun

          Killjoy.

          1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            He did say “sleep”.

            Just stating the obvious.

        2. DenverJ

          Well, a) it’s only big enough for one person to lie down on, and
          b) it’s brand new. No stains yet eww

          1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            No stains yet

            Then, is it really a couch? Maybe a divan….

  38. totally_not_an_escaped_ai

    Ugghhh…I don’t wanna go to work tomorrow. Just ordered one too many at the local dive and knowing already it will be rough tomorrow. Any good excuses for calling in?

    1. PieInTheSky

      Hey if I can get in at 7 am on a monday so can you

      1. totally_not_an_escaped_ai

        Sigh…yeah, I’ll have to go in no matter what. Quarter end in finance demands it. Just wanted to dream for a bit. 7 is damn early, though, I hope that isn’t a mandated time and you choose that insanity…

        1. PieInTheSky

          Yes. Official policy is we can arrive anytime between 7 and 11

        2. Spudalicious

          A Glib is gonna Glib.

    2. straffinrun

      Monday mornings are great. Everyone looks like I usually do.

      1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

        One. Of. Us.
        One. Of. Us.

      2. Sir Digby (PBUH)

        One. Of. Us.
        One. Of. Us.

      3. Everyone looks like a gaijin on Monday morning?

        1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

          Or, dead. It’s the ones who don’t that you gotta look out for.

  39. Sir Digby (PBUH)

    For some reason, my posts aren’t showing up.

    Illuminati?

    1. SP

      Do you mean posts as in articles, or comments?

      1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

        I tried to reply twice to straff’s post above my comment. It would refresh the screen when I hit the post button, but nothing would show up.

        I shut down Chrome on the computer and re-started it, and I could then make my post.

        1. SP

          Ok. So Chrome and cookies, not my wonderful site. ?

          1. Sir Digby (PBUH)

            I guess so…? I figured I had tripped something up on this computer, but wasn’t sure, since i wasn’t writing on any others.

    Re: Sportsball fans
    My opinion of them is based upon their demeanor when they would come to NOLA for games. Packers, Broncos, 49ers, Steelers, and Raiders fans are there to have a great time, spend a lot of money, and are generally well behaved. New England, Philly, Dallas, Atlanta fans were often boorish and violent and don’t handle the drink very well (one year some Pats fans stole a parked ambulance, managing to drive it into a storefront before their inevitable arrest). Tangentially, Razorbacks and Sooners are always, always, always welcome – some of the nicest folk on the face of the Earth. FSU/Florida win for worst Sugarbowl guests; they’re close enough to drive in, sleep in their cars, buy out all the bread, bologna, and package beer at the grocers, and proceed to make giant nuisances of themselves all over the French Quarter.

    If anyone is still around, I’m hooked on this DerpTube channel – Restaurant Rewind. So many of my childhood favorites are covered.

    1. Still? No. I went to sleep and then went to work, and I’m back online again. You’ve been around so long the day started over.

      1. l0b0t

        I work overnights, 10p – 6a; I just got home and have a few minutes before I have to get the kids up and ready for camp. How are you this morning? I found out my Amazon Prime comes with electrobook stuff and I may read it on my telephone so your latest work is my very first electrobook purchase.

        1. I hope you enjoy it. I can’t vouch for a phone as a form factor for reading books. It never worked for me, but some people read them that way.

    2. I never heard of most of those places.

      1. l0b0t

        Lum’s. Lum’s had hot-dogs boiled in beer and had AMAZING cardboard Revolutionary War playsets for kids back in ’76 – I was hooked and badgered mom to take me there whenever we were in Miami.
