The Glibening, Part Six:
Your Routine Crazy Girl Call
by Tonio
Gilhooly and Kestrel reappeared in the elevator lobby of Thought! Magazine. The Muzak began playing a peppy brass instrumental. The receptionist had removed her own dress and was trying to fit it over the skeletal remains of Jane Fappington-Smythe, the very recent former editor.
“I like those things walking around in their skins better than I like them,” said Kestrel blankly.
At that moment two NYPD officers burst out of the stairwell door, pistols drawn.
“Okay, folks, everyone just stay still for a second until we can get this sorted out. Everyone OK in here? Oh, she’s not,” said the skinny redhead cop looking at the receptionist. His partner, a dark-haired beefy man, circled the lobby.
“Anyone injured? Any threats we should know about?”
Gilhooly and Kestrel shook their heads mutely, trying to figure out whether their situations had improved or gotten worse.
“Squirrels ate Jay-Fap.” the receptionist giggled, pushing the skeleton’s hand through one of the armholes of the dress.
“Squirrels?”
“A whole bunch of them. They all got off the elevator and just ate her!”
The skinny cop looked at Gilhooly and Kestrel.
“Officer…Reardon, this poor girl is our receptionist. She’s only been here since Monday. She’s obviously disturbed,” said Gilhooly.
“Canadian, eh? And, who are you?”
“Dmitri Gilhooly,” he said gesturing at the directory board. “I’m an editor here,” he said, seeking to be as vague as possible given the circumstances.
“And you are,” asked Reardon, looking at Kestrel.
“Regina Kestrel, editor emeritus.”
“Editor whatius?”
“Former editor, now moved on to other things.”
“And who or what is ‘Jay-Fap,’” asked Reardon.
“This is Jay-Fap,” said the receptionist brightly, grasping the skeleton’s arm bones to wave its hand at the cop.
Reardon snorted at the grinning skeleton with the outlandish purple hair waving at him. “Uh-huh.” A routine crazy girl call, and this one wasn’t bad looking; he had a good view of her in her bra and panties playing with the skeleton. Probably she wasn’t actually crazy, but had been drugged by some scumbag. He planned to follow up on her in the hospital once the thorazine wore off and maybe score a date.
“Jane Fappington-Smythe. Jay-Fap.”
“Hey Reardon, Jane Fappington-Smythe is on the directory here,” said the stocky officer. “Also, Dmitri Gilhooly.”
“Okay, folks, can I see some ID from everyone. And where is ‘Jay-Fap,’” said Reardon looking at Gilhooly.
“Jane had to go,” said Gilhooly producing his ID and trying very hard to tell only the truth, and as little of it as possible.
“Thanks, Mr. Gilhooly,” said Reardon after looking at Gilhooly’s driver’s license.
“Morning sickness,” said Kestrel, reaching into her knockoff handbag for her wallet. “That wall ashtray there is full of her vomit.”
“I was going to ask about that,” said Reardon, nodding to Kestrel after checking her ID. “Normally your magazine offices smell like a urinal.”
“Room appears to be clear,” said the beefy cop.
“Roger that, Stern.” Reardon holstered his pistol. Stern continued to check the entrances and exits.
“So, you folks normally keep a skeleton in your lobby? What type of magazine is this, anyway,” asked Reardon.
“Officer, this skeleton is a prop. Something our art department was setting up for the Halloween issue photo shoot.”
“In July?”
“Magazine publishing has a long lead time. In October we’ll be finishing the New Year issue.”
“Stern, radio down to the sarge that EMS…”
Gilhooly started to remove his turtleneck, or at least that’s what it looked like to Officer Reardon who moved his hand to the taser on his belt. He bet it was Gilhooly who had drugged the girl. Tasing the SOB would help him score with her if that were the case.
“Sir, EMS will be here in just a minute,” said Reardon as he moved his hand to his taser wondering if Gilhooly was on the same drug as the receptionist.
Gilhooly’s trademark hipster turtleneck (“before it was cool, eh?”) slithered up over his head then jumped to the floor and unravelled some of its lower parts and scurried on its wispy tendrils toward Reardon.
“Sir, control your dog,” yelled Reardon, firing the taser at the sweater.
The sweater slowed briefly as the taser hit it but kept coming.
“Holy shit,” said Stern as Kestrel’s dress rippled and out slipped a matronly foundation garment which started running across the floor toward him on its garter straps, the metal hosiery clips making ticka-ticka sounds on the terrazzo floor, like the nails of a small dog.
Stern shot the lingerie item. The bullet passed cleanly through, the hosiery clips missing a couple of beats but then continuing their previous rhythm.
“Get this thing off me,” screamed Reardon as the turtleneck slithered over his head and uniform, pinning his arms to his sides like a straitjacket.
“They don’t take orders from us,” said Kestrel.
“Officer Reardon,” said Korb’s voice from Reardon’s radio earpiece, “please don’t struggle. Just go along with us and no harm will come to you or the other policeman.”
The girdle likewise swarmed Stern and encased his torso and arms.
“Don’t worry, Big Boy, I’ll be off you in a few minutes,” cooed Xylpig through Stern’s earpiece.
“Hey now,” said Stern, turning beet red.
“Okay, everyone, this is what’s going to happen,” said Korb. “Some nice women are going to come in and take poor Jay-Fap away. They’ll be in and out in sixty seconds Kestrel will keep Crazy McCrazypants out of the way. You two officers will stand here with us and not cause any trouble.” At the word “trouble,” Reardon bucked up and grunted.
Once the body is gone then we get off you two and go back to our hosts. You radio down that the scene is clear and everything continues like nothing else happened.”
“There never was a skeleton,” said Xylpig . “It was all in the mind of the girl who freaked out on drugs, called the cops, then did a striptease in the lobby.”
“What about the taser and gunshot,” asked Reardon. “We have to account for that shit, you know.”

Is there some relation between Hat and Hair and Turtleneck & Girdle? Like are they the same species? Competing species?
Alter egos?
Tulpa?
Well… yeah.
Girdle & Turtleneck seem … more rational than Hat and Hair. Either way, the Gliberverse is a strange place.
The second pair are Fabricians. Whether either of the first two are has not yet been revealed.
I think you and SugarFree need to do a collaborative effort with CPRM providing illustrations.
Tonio would add a certain “bad acid trip” quality to the collaboration.
Heeeeyyy… has anyone ever seen Tonio and Agile Cyborg in the same room at the same time????
I thought they batted for different teams?
I was kinda convinced that AC was a free agent who hopped teams on a whim.
The Steve King situation doesn’t surprise me one bit. Both sides have been waiting for years for just the right slip of the tongue, so they could come together in a bipartisan fashion and beat him to death with righteous indignation.
I hope he writes a tell all book, names names and gives explicit details. He has nothing to lose. Burn that mother down.
He’ll wait until after he runs for President.
Spudalicious,
Saw in the late night thread your first batch is in the fermenter. Congrats, and how did it go?
I think it went well. I did have one hiccup mashing in when I realized I had been looking at the wrong temp gauge. It was at 120-125 for about 20 minutes, so I just extended to mash time by ten minutes at the proper temp. When it was all said and done after the boil, I had exactly one gallon of wort.
This morning, there was an inch of foam, so I’m thinking it turned out okay.
You should be fine. As long as you were under the mash temp (and not over it), you’re in the clear. There are some styles that use the lower temps (called a step mash) to utilize other enzymes in the mash. And also a way to step up temperatures when you had a wooden mash vessel, and large metal pots were even more expensive.
That foam is your krausen, proteins and yeast in a nice foamy suspension.
What was surprising was the amount of aromatics that came from 13.5gm of hop pellets.
It doesn’t take a lot of hop pellets to make an impact, and that’s a healthy dose for a 1 gallon batch. A common warning to visitors on brew day (especially those who say they like hops), is don’t taste the hop pellets.
You always know when they ignore that. Always.
“Jay-Fap” LOL
OT: On Alinsky’s influence of the radicalization of politics.
https://gazette.com/opinion/editorials/commentary-the-godfather-saul-alinsky/article_c4ba9210-1380-11e9-bba5-d329e1e3e0d1.html
The problem here is that destabilizing society to enable violent power grabs never, ever, EVER end up replacing the prevailing order with anything even remotely similar to what the radicals envision. They commit violence under a banner of “equality”, “justice”, “fairness” and other happy sounding values. What really ends up happening is civil war, strongman politics, authoritarianism, misery and death, usually with the radicals who instigated the changes being among the first ones lined up in front of a wall.
It’s a tired trope, but look at Venezuela. The Alinskyite socialists played out the formula to a T and got the power they wanted. The collapse was remarkably swift and the human tragedy plays out before our very eyes.
You can’t make an omelette without a few broken eggs.
And maybe a couple public executions… and maybe a little cannibalism?
I think it was George Orwell who asked, “Where’s the omelette?”
Straight out of the little red book. Goddamn we dodged a bullet.
Ryhwun: re – your Xerox comment last thread.
My dad worked at Sperry Univac. Actually, he usually worked at the telephone company, back when there was only 1 telephone company. His job largely consisted of replacing computer “chips” back when they were almost the size of footballs.
This.
It will never result in something that could be called an advancement. It will result in collapse like Venezuela on a much bigger scale. The last decades of the Roman Republic had assholes using the same tactics and it resulted in civil war and tyranny.
It is really remarkable that the American Revolution is the one that worked.
Was it?
After all, Shay’s rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion were both put down.
Compared to just about every other revolution out there, I would say yes.
Shay’s Rebellion birthed the US Constitution and ended the Articles of Confederation, so to a degree, that revolt was successful in ending a more decentralized system of government.
Yes. The Revolution’s primary goal was independence for the several states and concomitant self-government, and that was achieved. It was never an anarchist rebellion – the slogan was “No taxation without representation”, not “no taxation”. There were a lot of nice protections of liberties (for the citizen class) that came with the revolution, but it was not a libertarian revolution. I’d say it was a completely successful revolution, for what its movers set out to do.
At the end the states weren’t independent, and there was a new standing army to enforce the collection of unpopular taxes.
You may call that success. I call it a counter-revolution where a different gang took over.
-Terry Pratchett, Night Watch.
That man was a genius.
Just got my oldest nephew his first Pratchett book for Christmas. I’m looking forward to finding out if he liked it or not. I’m not sure how I’ll react if I learn he didn’t like it though…
I call it a counter-revolution where a different gang took over.
I think it is a stretch to call the outcome of a revolution a counter-revolution. While the Constitution did overturn the Articles of Confederation, it was drafted by the very same leaders of the revolution and freely ratified by elected representatives of the independent states. It was the result the revolutionaries wanted (most of them, at least).
Also, the direct results of those rebellions were not as you describe. It did not create a standing army (both rebellions were suppressed with state militias – the US did not maintain a large standing army until the 20th century) and it did not vigorously collect those unpopular taxes (after the rebels were dispersed in the Whiskey rebellion a blind eye was turned towards collection in the west, and after both rebellions the taxes were reduced or repealed outright through the normal political process). While it can be said that the crushing of those rebellions put us on a path to a stronger central government (which it did), it only took the barest, feeblest step in that direction – the bulk of the journey was taken later.
It was a long time coming and a fair number of the American elite of the time jumped onboard – including veterans of the French & Indian War.
The thing to remember about the American Revolution is that a lot of the guys who led it, at least initiallym, didn’t really see it so much as a revolution as a stand against usurpation by the crown. It wasn’t until later that the patriots took to thinking of themselves as a separate nation, rather than asserting their rights as Englishmen.
Oddly enough, my alma mater was founded in 1776. It was named after two patriots of the English Civil War. Patrick Henry was on the original board.
Right – the Declaration of Independence is actually quite reactionary once you get into the detailed complaints.
I’m too late to the party to comment on the morning linx thread, but damn that party Trump thew for Clemson makes me wonder if he’s a fan.
He definitely likes his chee-burgers!
I was trying to find the SNL clip of Belushi doing the Billy Goat Tavern. But they were all garbage.
No Coke. Pepsi.
I went to the Billy Goat years ago…the original one on Lower 5th(?). It was great. So-so cheesburgers, warm beer, an inch of dust on the Billy Goat (and other places). Real classy joint.
hahaha….nice!
I love that there have been endless columns/blog posts/tweets by lefties screaming about how horrible this was, yet not a single goddamned one of these people have bothered to admit that the players seemed pretty happy with the burgers. Because hey, who cares about them – #RESIST!!!!!!!!!
To wit:
College athletes like fast food? Who would have possibly thought….
…otherwise?
Michelle Obama.
+0, but not your fault.
I love that there have been endless columns/blog posts/tweets
I’ve mostly seen people making jokes, not a whole lot of screaming, Like the Rand Paul hernia thing I’ve seen more people accusing others of freaking out than people actually freaking out.
Unlike that video of AOC dancing. The internet nearly tipped over and capsized like Guam.
Just like that, I’m saying that gaslighting isn’t just for the left anymore.
https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1085168863430561792
LOL.
Hah! There’s an exchange on that thread where someone says “Can you imagine the reaction if Obama served cold fast food to the NCAA football champions?”
To which IowaHawk responded: “honestly, all I can imagine is a steamed vegetable buffet and a 2 hour lecture on the childhood obesity epidemic.”
In fact, nobody could actually eat a horse in one sitting, so we award this 2 out of 5 Pinnochios.
“Trump implied that anyone actually eats Arby’s, earning him an unprecedented 6 out of 5 Pinnochios.”
I wish arby’s still had the 5 for $5 deal. That was good eating.
tbf I don’t think I hate it, I just can’t remember the last time I’ve been to one.
There was this
This wasn’t hysterical in tone, but ridiculous in substance.
That guy describes himself as “Climate hawk. Deficit dove.” I assume the first one means he’s aggressive on dealing with climate change. Not sure what the second one means.
I can tell you one thing; his stance on both issues , if adopted, would completely fuck over future generations. Maybe he just hates children.
It means ‘hold on to your wallet.’
Pretty sure it means he loves him some huge deficits
Maybe it means he wants spending on climate change to be budget neutral?
Maybe he is just an old DC comics fan?
Bullshit. I grew up on the lower end of things and fast food was a fucking treat. This person has zero idea of what “cheap” food actually is.
True. Fast food was the equivalent of “going out to eat”.
Ramen noodles are like two bucks a case, so yeah, I endorse this.
I can gain weight just from having ramen in the house.
#Keto4Lyfe
Yeah, lived on ramen in college $.50 would get you dinner.
My lunch today cost $1.17.
$1.00 for a bag of frozen steamer vegetables.
$0.17 for the block of ramen.
Fast food would’ve cost 2-3x that much.
That woul be getting by cheap. I think just your average “meal deal” would be 6-8X what you spent.
Yeah, I meant to mention that 2-3x is bare minimum value menu sandwich and drink
#metoo
Growing up, my family was pretty well off, but when we went on vacation, fast food was a rare treat. We mostly ate from the dreaded cooler, making sandwiches from cold cuts. First time I ever had a beer – at age 10 – was because we had run out of everything else out in the middle of nowhere in Arizona.
Burger King was a blessed place to be compared to deviled ham on crackers.
We did the dreaded Walmart submarine sandwich. 80% bread, 10% nasty lettuce, 10% actual edible food.
Every White House reception should be catered this way if they are using tax dollars.
Better: Chick-Fil-A.
Nah fast food is hardly the most economical way to feed large numbers of people.
Baked potato bars.
Mounds and mounds of rice and beans.
“What, did your mommies not feed you before they dropped you off?”
“Too Mexican-y”
– Trump
Gotta agree with this. It hasn’t been true for a long time.
Taking my family to Taco Bell costs within $10 what it would take to go to a decent local non chain Mexican place and more than it costs us to go to Chipotle. Going to Wendys costs roughly the same as going to Red Robin where we get bottomless fries, McDonalds, Hardees, and Burger King are slightly cheaper but not anywhere near as good as Wendys.
If you want to eat economically, you have to restrict yourself to the value menu. I can get out of McDonalds for 2 adults and a toddler for $10 or so. Taco bell is similar, but we go so infrequently that we get their more expensive food when we do go.
Gah, I miss Taco Bueno and Whataburger.
The fast food business is shrinking primarily because of fast casual places like Red Robin.
We wanted our ROTC Dining In to be catered by KFC
“Mr. Vice, I raise my Original Recipe…To The United States of America!”
All the official diner functions were awful. I used to grab some fast food before going to them. I’ll always remember one of the full birds asking us how we liked our filet meow.
Important question.
Were straws available?
-8,000,000,000 whales
Or at least that many VNZ Bolivars,
Tonio’s work is what elevates this place from “most improved worst chat room ever” to “nascent religion.”
Party of Envy
De Blasio said the US had “plenty of money” but that the money was “in the wrong hands” and outlined a narrative in which more money has been pushed to the top of the income distribution in recent decades.
“This was not an accident,” the mayor said. “Democrats and progressives need to be blunt about this.”
That little boy over there has an ice cream cone. Where’s my ice cream cone? Not FAIR! Ice cream! Gimme!
Gimme gimme gimme.
So, our Buddy Preet is tweeting today.
If true: Trump should immediately and publicly state his apparent wish to withdraw from NATO so he can be promptly impeached, convicted, and removed from office.
Stating a desire to withdraw from a broken organization is now a high crime and misdemeanor, according to one the world’s sharpest fans of woodchippers.
So the desire to remove one’s country from foreign military obligations is now an impeachable offense?
Fuck you Preet, you authoritarian shithead.
‘Facist’ gets thrown around so much….
Legal expert!
Derpity Derp
If anyone wants a sneak peek at the future progs envision for us, they need only look at the way Preet behaves. Can you imagine an entire Federal Judiciary and Congress who think the way he does? We’d be the Soviet Union in no time flat.
The future that progressives envision for us is one of perpetual war overseas (but only the “baddies”) and technocratic government at home. It’s really not that far off from what we have now and so many other defenders of the status quo (among conservatives and the woke brand of libertarianism that could care less about foreign adventurism) are fighting to maintain this order.
Can anyone name anything of value that NATO has ever done for the US? In all seriousness, it seems like NATO is just a guise for the US to solve all of Europe’s regional problems.
The notion that ending an archaic alliance is grounds for removal from office is peak retard.
it seems like NATO is just a guise for the US to solve all of Europe’s regional problems.
It was an excuse for stationing forces as forward as possible. Now it’s a jobs program for Raytheon.
We invoked Article 5 after 9/11, and dragged several NATO militaries into Afghanistan with us. I personally worked with UK, Polish, Canadian, French (still associate members, oui?) and Spanish forces there. Several went to Iraq too.
While the “treasure” side of the scale is quite heavy on the US side, the “blood” one is tipping to the NATO side.
Yeah, I don’t doubt the bravery of the European soldiers who came to support the American effort in Afghanistan. That is a fair point. And without attempting to demean or reduce the valiant support that the Europeans provided, the Japanese and Australians came to support the US in Afghanistan as well (yet they are not part of NATO).
I guess my question isn’t whether or not we should be allied with Europe (because naturally those are the countries most similar to our ideals and culture), but rather whether or not a multinational alliance which guarantees unequivocal support for nations such as Turkey is really within the interest of defending of the American homeland.
[Sheepishly raises hand] Perhaps nation-states that do not have a coast on the North Atlantic should not be allowed membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. seriously though, the end of the Warsaw Pact should have prompted the abolition of NATO.
Please don’t take this as dismissive of them. I don’t mean it as such. But, weren’t NATO forces committed sort of as “tokens”? Were there any missions that their absence would have posed a major hardship to the U.S.?
Obviously, as TGA suggests, this in now way is anything to diminish the bravery of those forces. Fighting in another country’s war certainly speaks to their personal commitment.
House of Commons rejects May Brexit deal 432-202. Biggest defeat for British government on any motion since 1924.
That 1924 motion? Whether or not tooth paste should be encouraged on the island
Dang, [*] Apologist from the top rope
Good. What a fraud that was.
That is a fuckin whoopin.
Update: apparently bigger than 1924.
The 1924 motion was a no confidence vote following the decision of sitting Labour government to withdraw an indictment against a Communist Party newspaper charging the editor with incitement to mutiny after an anti-war article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_Case
Following today’s vote, Corbyn has introduced a no confidence motion.
So….Brexit isn’t going to happen and the UK is going to stay in the EU forever (there is no way that Parliament allows for a hard Brexit). Italy, Hungary, and Poland should take note.
As I understand it, Brexit is happening deal or no deal. If Parliament wants to block it, I suppose they could hold another vote – if they dare.
That is what I recall. Voting no means Brexit happens with no deal in place. So voting no means you think the deal was shit and it would be better than no deal. Voting no did not stop it from happening.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2019/jan/15/brexit-vote-parliament-latest-news-may-corbyn-gove-tells-tories-they-can-improve-outcome-if-mays-deal-passed-politics-live
Here is the full text of Theresa May’s statement to MPs about 20 minutes ago about what will happen next. She said:
Mr Speaker, the house has spoken and the government will listen.
It is clear that the house does not support this deal. But tonight’s vote tells us nothing about what it does support. Nothing about how – or even if – it intends to honour the decision the British people took in a referendum parliament decided to hold.
People, particularly EU citizens who have made their home here and UK citizens living in the EU, deserve clarity on these questions as soon as possible. Those whose jobs rely on our trade with the EU need that clarity. So with your permission, Mr Speaker, I would like to set out briefly how the government intends to proceed.
First, we need to confirm whether this government still enjoys the confidence of the house. I believe that it does, but given the scale and importance of tonight’s vote it is right that others have the chance to test that question if they wish to do so. I can therefore confirm that if the official opposition table a confidence motion this evening in the form required by the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, the government will make time to debate that motion tomorrow. And if, as happened before Christmas, the official opposition decline to do so, we will – on this occasion – consider making time tomorrow to debate any motion in the form required from the other opposition parties, should they put one forward.
Second, if the house confirms its confidence in this government I will then hold meetings with my colleagues, our confidence and supply partner the DUP and senior parliamentarians from across the house to identify what would be required to secure the backing of the house. The government will approach these meetings in a constructive spirit, but given the urgent need to make progress, we must focus on ideas that are genuinely negotiable and have sufficient support in this house.
Third, if these meetings yield such ideas, the government will then explore them with the European Union.
Mr Speaker, I want to end by offering two reassurances.
The first is to those who fear that the government’s strategy is to run down the clock to 29 March. That is not our strategy. I have always believed that the best way forward is to leave in an orderly way with a good deal and have devoted much of the last two years negotiating such a deal. As you confirmed, Mr Speaker, the amendment to the business motion tabled last week by [Dominic Grieve] is not legally binding, but the government respects the will of the house. We will therefore make a statement about the way forward and table an amendable motion by Monday.
The second reassurance is to the British people, who voted to leave the European Union in the referendum two and a half years ago. I became prime minister immediately after that referendum. I believe it is my duty to deliver on their instruction and I intend to do so.
Mr Speaker, every day that passes without this issue being resolved means more uncertainty, more bitterness and more rancour. The government has heard what the house has said tonight, but I ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the British people, who want this issue settled, and to work with the government to do just that.
One of my colleagues just stopped by briefly to comment on this. I did not realize that the Russians also influenced the Brexit vote.
THAT’S what gets me concerned: this is a very intelligent, well-informed woman who KNOWS that the main reason Brexit and Trump won was because of Russian interference.
Must be that super secret files from Pavlov’s experiments. Good thing she is immune.
Of course the Russians are not Republicans and the Democrats took over the House due to Russian interference so maybe she’s not as immune as she thinks.
“I did not realize that the Russians also influenced the Brexit vote.”
The respectable man’s QAnon
“the British people, who voted to leave the European Union in the referendum two and a half years ago”
2 &1/2 years ago, and still nothing’s happened.
Oh shut up, you old commie. Nobody asked for your input.
I’ve passed better things than Corbyn.
Of course, Corbyn is a pretty hard-core Leaver so if Labour won an election, he would likely still lead Britain out.
Not any more.
Huh.
Hmm, last month he told The Guardian he would get a better deal but still leave:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/dec/21/jeremy-corbyn-labour-policy-leaving-eu
Wait…what? Really???
I get the sense that he floats in whichever direction he perceives will more easily allow him to install a workers’ paradise. If the Brits aren’t moving quickly enough in that direction, he’ll support a titanic bureaucracy in Brussels in the hopes of moving it along faster.
I can’t think of a more deserving person to go down in flames.
May was trying hard for the shittiest deal possible, which is what happens when you have Remainer directing the negotiations.
I’m hoping for a hard exit – the EU is poison, let it burn.
