*clears throat*
I’m going to channel the movie announcer guy….
What do we have in store this week?
Tomorrow Animal has another lesson on Toxic Masculinity with a delightful crossword puzzle in the evening.
Tuesday Pie in the Sky presents a thought provoking piece on competition in the public sector, and another poll in the evening.
Wednesday, Sugarfree once again either gives us reason to consider suicide by cop or just risk being fired for drinking at work. One or the other.
Thursday Mr. I.B. McGinty pens something I certainly hope you uncultured troglodytes actually read. Seriously, its good..stay tuned.
Otherwise we have the usual links, by the Old Man, Brett, Banjos, Sloopy, ZARDOZ, STEVE SMITH, Spudalicious* and everyone else that may or may not get called in from the bullpen at the last minute. That’s what makes this place so damn exciting…even we don’t always know what’s in store.
I don’t know about you guys, but for some reason skyline chilli is being made in my house. Why? I don’t know and I’m not stopping it. Mostly because it at least looks better than the abomination they call pizza in South Korea.
Enjoy what’s left of Sunday.

Whatever happened to that last poll? Not the salad thing, that survey with a bunch of questions?
You mean this one? https://glibertarians.com/2019/07/glibertarian-survey-results/
I posted this, then Sugarfree put up an open post not realizing I posted the survey results. Like I said:
Sorry, no idea how I missed that.

This is the worst chatroom ever.

Apparently, you’ve never met OMWC.
That’s an…eerily accurate description…

Well this sucks. Couple got married then on the drive home from the justice of the peace got into an accident and died.
The site is Breitbart — I didn’t read the comments.
I did.
They start talking about illegal aliens around comment 15.
They didn’t publish the other driver’s name. Obviously he’s an illegal ferener and the leftist media is covering for him!
I went to Breitbart for the purpose of reading an article about how the New York Times won’t let reporting about their own racism and bigotry stop them from investigating the important stories like how racist the US is.
Seems like that’s not the dominant theme in the comments, though, which I’ll admit is a little surprising. For some reason people are making sense, guessing that the couple just merged and expected the truck to let them over, but the truck, towing a trailer, couldn’t move or stop fast enough.
The word of the Lord came to Kim Lee son of Kim Park: “Go to the great city of Chicago and preach against deep dish, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Kim Lee ran away from the Lord where he found a ship. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Busan to flee from the Lord. Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw their pineapples into the sea to lighten the ship. But Kim Lee had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.” Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They cast lots and the lot fell on Kim Lee. So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” He answered, “I am a Korean and I made a pizza out of shrimp!” This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.) The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?” “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.” Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Kim Lee and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice of kim chee to the Lord and made vows to him. Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Kim Lee, and Kim Lee was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
After the three days he smelled like kimchee

Great day. We took some friends to the range today. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/fMJ3HIljSUSM-nJDwwuiKw.HSIzKPQ2f8LhVt0hWvAMnu
Mid 70s and the range was oddly deserted. ?
Nice!
I thought about going to the range, but instead I slept in and then went out for BBQ.
There is a bug at work I should be looking at…..
Very nice, glad y’all had a good time.
Upper 70’s, range was packed.
I am really terrible at this whole “rifle” thing. 100 yards, all of them were in the 8″ circle but only a bit more than a quarter were in the 3″ circle. And I was using a scope.
Depends on what “all” means. If all is 20 or 30 rounds are in your pattern, you probably did nearly as good as those who think four rounds in three inches means much!

OT rant. I’ve gotten six phone calls in the last hour, none of them emergencies, what ever happen to not calling people on weekends or after dinner time? When I was a kid it was considered rude to do that, now I get calls at eight PM on Sunday, have some couth people!
What’s a “phone call?”
There are very few reasons to ever talk on a phone.
I know! Maybe just text, but all these guys want to talk on the phone. I’m starting to think I should just be single.
I often have that same thought about myself.
I mean, um, I *would* have that same thought if I weren’t married to the most wonderful, old Jewish guy on the planet.
Don’t second guess yourself, you were right the first time.
A friend sent me a thing about introverts. One item stood out. “I want to settle down with a guy that only wants to get together three times a week”
Actually a friend at work, found that online dating. He works night shift, so they only see each other Friday through Sunday. So jealous!
YES! THIS!
It’s really difficult being married to an extreme extrovert.
Yup, I’m just happy to be in the same room as the Mrs, but evidently that means we’re no better than roommates if we aren’t doing the same thing at the same time.
I’m extreme?
Ultimate compliment from an introvert:
Being with you is like being alone.
My wife and I are both pretty far on the introvert side of things. I think the longest we have gone without talking to each other (not out of anger, but just the sheer lack of anything insightful to say) was three days. Lived in the same house, slept in the same bed, but no conversation. After the three days it went back to normal as usual.
I actually tested this when I was dating. On the third or fourth date, I’d let the conversation stop at a natural point and wait to see how long the person could go in silence. If it lasted 30 minutes, and then started up again naturally, that was a keeper.
Huh? Talking on the phone in the early stages of dating should be to make a date and not much else. Talk in person.
I know right!
Really? I fucking loved talking on the phone! Especially early on.
But hey, whatever works.
Anything is better, though, than the answering machine.
Asking ‘what are you wearing?’ via text lacks a certain breathiness that really adds to the experience.
LISTEN TO JARFLAX.
Seriously; you ladies don’t want the added information that comes with vocal characteristics and speech patterns?? Not knocking technology, but verbal communications are just so much better than reading, typing, and waiting.
Yeah, other than robo-calls, I don’t think I’ve gotten 6 phone calls in the last 2 weeks.
Maybe Hyperbole just has more friends than me.
I’ve never looked in to it but I think robo-calls are not allowed here in Japan. That wouldn’t stop the Chinese though. I got my first robo-call here a couple weeks ago – but it was in Mandarin and a bit beyond my ability and I just hung up.
I hated talking on the phone back when you had to stick your finger in a hole.
So did you tuck the phone by your neck when you dialed, since both hands were occupied?
Sometimes.
Sometimes I used my big toe.
Did you use your big toe to stick in a hole, or dial the phone?
I never call and tell.
He has two big toes so I suppose “both” would be an option.
That’s some serious flexibility, right there.

Wonder when he’ll be forced to apologize for implying that Stalin and Mao were responsible for any deaths.
That was my first thought when I read this earlier. I picture his fellow professor nudging him and in a subdued but strained voice saying, “Ixnay on the alinstay, ommradecay”
Psychiatrist that repeatedly uses the word “crazy”.
Plus, Duke. Fuck Duke.
He’s been thought of as an asshole in the general Psychiatric community long before this, I guess he’s just doubling down and thinks all physicians think like they do in his academic bubble. From what I’ve seen in over 30 years as a physician, more docs lean right than left, and that comes from my experience in Chicago, New York and California, not exactly conservative areas otherwise.
Remember how all the Duke professors signed a letter condemning the lacrosse players for sexual assault minutes after the soon-proven-fradulent accusations were made? This guy is one of those.

So what’s the story with the Skyline Chili? Love me some Skyline. I have been known to ask hubby to take me there for my birthday dinner, though lately I’ve been sticking to their wraps, rationalizing that they’re lower in carbs.
It’s no actually chili and as a coney sauce it’s “Meh” at best.
I’m sorry.
Its better described as “greek spaghetti”. Served with chopped onions and a pile cheddar cheddar cheese. It is the second most midwest food, only to “Hot dish.”
One day I drove from DC to Cincy and back to get some Skyline. When I told a coworker about it, he informed me there was a restaurant about 2 miles away that makes a very good version of it.
Beautiful drive across WV though – peak of autumn leaves.
That sounds like stockholm syndrome, because I’d describe what I was served at Skyline as “a plate of disappointment”.

“Hell Introduces 13 New Varieties Of Pineapple Pizza
HELL—The demonic forces of Satan proudly announced Thursday the debut of 13 new varieties of pineapple pizza, designed to torture millions of humans deceived into consuming the hellish abominations.
The exciting new spins on pineapple pizza were forged in the fires of the hottest portions of hell, and are designed to cause the greatest pain and suffering on earth as possible.
“We expect the new Krazy Pineapple Kale pizza to be especially nefarious,” one high-ranking demonic official said in a board meeting unveiling the new assault on all things good and holy. “The pizzas shall masquerade as good and wholesome food, but in reality they shall be agents of His Darkness Lucifer. Hail Satan! Hail Satan!”
Other varieties the armies of Satan are preparing to foister upon unsuspecting humans worldwide include Deluxe Lutefisk Pineapple, Tropical Tuna Pineapple, and Pineapple Marshmallow Delight.
Hell’s distribution center reportedly began shipping Satan’s pizzas to select test markets this week.”

I was listening to every one you listed, as well as some other very good albums.
I keed, Tesla was awesome.
Damn straight. Tragically Hip, too.
Hair metal gets a bad rap. There was some serious talent in many of those bands. And by ’89 the sound was starting to change some. If the record execs hadn’t killed exactly what they created and let it evolve, I think we could have been treated with some very good hard rock music.

Trump is guilty?
What was his point of contention?
He orders his steak well done?
Well, I support him then.
Fucking barbarian.
Sometimes I forget he never implied anyone else here was a therapist.
That really is unforgivable.
He doesn’t like dogs.
It seemed like it just came out of nowhere. Admittedly I was kind of woozy from this 12% beer he brought, so maybe I missed something between him and my other friend that led up to it while we were out on the balcony smoking and shooting the shit.
OTOH it doesn’t come as any great surprise. Pretty sure I recall one of the last times I looked at FB was him, his wife, and other members of our long-time circle of friends making plans for a pussy-hat weekend in DC.
Just a little jarring. I’ve mostly not seen these people in person since November 2016.
I read your last post as “baloney smoking on the balcony”. I had to re read it to purge my prior comprehension issues.
WORST CONTENTION EVER.
In fairness, 12% beer buys a lot of tolerance.
Yeah, and I don’t day-drink. This was a very special occasion so needs must.
Most, if not all, of the time it’s not about Trump. Don’t get sucked in.
Of course, it’s not about Trump. It’s about hating those who are not like them. The object of hate is often referred to as Trump supporters.
I think in this case, it actually is all about Trump. Trump is boorish, he hates women, etc. etc. My friend is not a lefty as conventionally understood, but I can understand why Trump pushes his buttons.

“The great enemies of face enterprise are businessmen and intellectuals — businessmen because they want socialism for themselves and free enterprise for everyone else; intellectuals, because they want free enterprise for themselves and socialism for everyone else.”
That’s a heck of a good quote that has aged well
Er, “. . . face enterprise . . . “?
Wha?
They apologize for you for a fee so you don’t have to lose face
At one point, Dirk Benedict was considered for a role in the Star Trek movies due to his role in Battlestar Galactica, but many businessmen and intellectuals opposed that casting choice.
I could kiss you for that comment. Also, if you ever make it out to Rockaway Beach, I would love to have you over to watch all the surfing (by which I mean some amazingly thicc, aquatically inclined, young ladies).
Thanks. I’ll keep that invitation in mind! 🙂

It’s not bestiality. It’s interspecies erotica.
At the risk of sounding catty. That is doggone fishy, total bull. Porking like that is just squirrelly. I mean for eel, that is for the birds.
Eight different puns in one post? What about the rest of us? Hmmm?
Only two of those were puns, the rest were merely words, while related to the subject at hand,being employed in one of their normal usages.
pun1
/pən/e
noun
1.
a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.
but yes eel was a stretch, and I do apologize for being such a snake in the ass.
I feel like such a rat.

It’s payback for all the videos over here about panty vending machines
Used panty vending machines.
Wednesday is Hat a Hand and the Hair double feature; finished up on that today; also, I do a great movie guy voice.

So…Collin Quinn did a comedy special for CNN…it’s on Netflix…I feared the worst, but it wasn’t THAT bad.
What year? I don’t remember CNN ever producing any comedy. At least not intentionally.
I got nothing.
Good morning glibs
Oh, yeah?!?
Good night, Pie.
Was that your favorite book as a kid, too, cs?
Now you’ve got this.

When Chafed posts that link…
You da man.
Thank you, Booger!
Good morning, Pie.

AHAHA-Oh; you were serious. Well, YES to the Shat-Man.
So I’m here at work; stocking the household goods. I come upon a new (to this store) product and find inside the shipping box a standard cardstock merchandiser. Also, an instruction sheet. The sheet is nicely illustrated and has 3 steps: 1 – open box (this has to done to find the instructions in the first place), 2 – remove tray, 3 – place tray on shelf. I get that retail grocery isn’t brimming with Fulbright Scholars but damn.
That sounds like the equivalent of this interface.
Lawsuit averted.

Be careful glibs. One false step and your jaw is broke, your ribs are cracked, and you have a square foot or so of 3rd degree burns.
Got a bad link for me, Lach.
Also, i totally read that the first time as, “Be careful girls”….

TDS diagnosis confirmed.
https://www.dailycaller.com/2019/08/25/former-duke-psychiatrist-trump-isnt-mentally-ill-out-of-office/
I didn’t know mental health professionals were allowed to make diagnoses based on videos and articles curated (and quite possibly doctored) by third parties who are openly hostile to the “patient”. Seems like the kind of thing that would cost someone their license.
Why do I get the feeling that, if her were shot in his nuts, drugs would then fall out of his ass? 😉
Chafed: I mentioned to Festus in our overnight discussion Saturday/Sunday that there should be a sort-of nightowl/graveyard shit article here–at least, on weekends. To see if those anyone could be convinced to stay up later/get up earlier.
What do you think of the idea? If it’s a positive, would you want in on putting it together? I was semi-serious about it, and I can see where just going with the last evening article might suffice.
Not to exclude any others from weighing in on this, by the way. If you have any pro- or con- thoughts on this, I’d like to hear about it.
I was just discussing this very thing with WebDom over the weekend.
Is there a consensus on it? If it’s something that holds interest, I may want to be involved, if possible.
I say “may”, because I’ve only been on weekend comments for about a month or so–just getting into the habit. Also, most of my time here is at work, which isn’t exactly conducive to putting out content
Speaking on behalf of TPTB (with zero permission to do so), we wouldn’t have any problem with late night content. As most of us know, having to stick to a commitment for content creation gets…tiresome. A team approach is really the best way to do it. This site would have lasted about a month without the regular team to do links posts every day, and all the rest, including editing submissions etc. And, the site would consist solely of links posts if the community hadn’t stepped up and contributed great content.
We were kicking around ideas like: a round up of the “best links” of the week; or random links that were added in comments people might have missed; music posts; or even just open posts with a theme.
What were you guys thinking?
Well, I haven’t really seen anything from anyone else, other than you. That said, I think I was going along the same lines, generally.
Something with recaps; maybe a link to News of the Weird, since it’s weekly (and seems rather appealing); smaller philosophical points that could generate late-night discussion among us
vampiresweirdosnight crawlers; maybe links to videos that we follow (I find plenty of interesting stuff on my YT follows that I would love to share for comments–I would think others have similar). Since the lot that tends to stay up, there may be a lot of chemically-influenced posting, which could be both thought-provoking, and, dangerous/Ugh… Since the lot that tends to stay up for late night posting here enjoys various relaxing methods
I promise, I can right good…
I’d say just go ahead and put some posts together (since you have writing privileges) and Save as Pending. Are you thinking just Friday and/or Saturday at 2300 for a start? You know how free-form things are around here; feel free to try different formats etc.
If anyone else wants in who isn’t already a Contributor, I can make that happen.
Yes, as far as me being able to contribute anything.
I haven’t played around much with the submission side of things, so I should probably start to get familiar with the whats and how of that side of things (if it goes beyond what I’ve used so far). CPRM has been a big help in that respect, so I may hit him up for assistance. Not to discount you, SP; I’ll reach out should I need help. I just don’t want to be burdensome with all you already have on your plate here.
Nope, just exactly what you did for the other posts.

Got it!
I’m pretty sure the rest of the (sadly dwindling) Nippon contingent would be up for this (pun intended)
That is an excellent point! Of course, Raphael is state-side (correct?), and…is Mustang still posted there?
But, yes–anyone to the East of the US could/would be a target audience.
Shit–am I gonna end up learning Japanese? I dunno if my brain can handle that…
Yeah, I got to meet Rafael a couple days before he went back to the US. I haven’t met Mustang yet.
Learn the language at your peril. Once you are in too deep you realize that it isn’t much use anywhere else. And after you have that much invested you might as well just stay.
Heh.
I was of the mind that, for all the J-side glibs, who would hopefully be commenting in this proposed post, there would be a lot of Japanese video links and (more) discussions that get back to the linguistics.
I seem to have not been a good student in my Russian class back in HS, so late-40’s me isn’t quite so hopeful if I end up needing to “learn” Japanese in order to keep up with those kinds of discussions.
I guess I could do a post about the more difficult aspects of the Japanese language coming from an English speaker’s perspective. Maybe contrast it with Korean and Chinese?
That would be fascinating!
After my griping, I can say that I would definitely read that.
