Today is the last day of my 30s. I’m going to do something especially irresponsible tonight, so I can wake up to a regretful 40 year old.
I assume that the Pediatricians’ Guild will never let this rob them of their bread and butter.
RF O’Rourke live-streams a haircut. Last time it was a teeth cleaning. I guess the next one will be his proctology appointment.
I didn’t say that raccoon was ill-tempered, I said it has distemper.
If I wasn’t vaccinated, I might not go to an anti-vaccination rally during a measles outbreak.

Happy Birthday Old Man!
Happy birthday!
May your transition into your 40s be as elegant as my 40th, when our ER nurses combined to gift me a beautifully wrapped package of Depends.
“I’m going to do something especially irresponsible tonight”
In Florida?
That’s definitely where it will start.
He’s going to give himself a head start on tomorrow afternoon’s links.
Yes, Brett, perhaps you should get tomorrow’s links done now, while you still have 9 fingers.
Tomorrow he’s going to appear in a lot of “Florida man does…” stories, and he’s just going to post links to them.
Pre-load a local attorney’s phone number into your cell phone. You know, for that “you’re allowed one phone call.”
Sage advice for any Florida Man.
Florida man should probably just get that tattooed on his forehead, that is if there’s any room for more ink.
Hmm. I’ve been up in Alabama visiting my parents the last few days, and was planning to drive back down to Tampa tomorrow. May have to extend the vacation to allow for the police response to die down….
STEVE SMITH NOTIFIED FLORIDA COUSIN SWAMP SMITH, WHO WILL HELP WITH CELEBRATING. AND BY CELEBRATING MEAN RAPING.
Happy Birthday Brett.
Have this kind of a day, Brett

Tomorrow’s headline: Florida Man Raises His Game
I’m scared.
I’m beyond exhausted right now.
In better news, shockingly, Salon.com’s a shit company in shit financial condition. https://nypost.com/2019/05/14/salon-media-in-talks-for-5m-fire-sale-in-last-ditch-effort/
“For years, John Warnock, co-founder of Adobe Systems, and William Hambrecht, a venture capitalist (and father of former CFO Elizabeth) who was involved in the IPOs of Google, Amazon, Apple and Adobe Systems, injected cash to offset mounting losses.”
Let’s not pretend that those weren’t political donations.
$5 million? Who do these guys think they’re kidding? Oh, wait…
The filing contained no further info on the mystery buyer or buyers but said the deal would only require a $550,000 payment at closing. It said $100,000 would go to an escrow account and $500,000 was already paid as a deposit.
The remaining $3.85 million would be a promissory note payable in two installments over two years.
Ah. Still overpriced. But, not as bad. On the next go ’round (they will be back on the block again, maybe we could take up a collection and buy it.
$5 million is absurd. It’s a hobby blog.
*Shhh* we might get more for Glibs…
Who is this “we”?
There’s not going to be an IPO before sale? 🙁
I’m shorting that sumbitch.
You’d need a willing counterparty for that.
On the next go ’round (they will be back on the block again, maybe we could take up a collection and buy it.
And do what with it, turn it into a links aggregator for HM?
No, bring about the end of the world by having Salon’s entire content be materials written by SugarFree.
Good. I hope they take Vox and a few dozen others with them.
I hoped so, then looked up Vox’s financials and they seem horrifyingly stable. They sacked 5% of staff in february 2018, but supposedly made up the numbers by now (being a union shop, numbers were of course made up by contractors).
Which is Lyle Talbot’s worst legacy: Plan 9 from Outer Space or fathering the founder of Salon.com?
You know the answer.
You have to ask? Plan 9 is at least campy fun.
Only one of those two choices had Bela Lugosi. Case closed.
Couldn’t help but notice this in the sidebar. WTF kind of person do you have to be to do that?
Manslaughter, no question at all.
Yup. Open and shut. See ya again in polite society in 2040.
Doesn’t seem like she’s likely to get an early release for good behavior.
If she’s a cop she could claim she was in fear of her life.
Agreed. I hope she gets a nice long sentence.
I ride public transit. Nothing would surprise me.
Dead inside. I hope the bitch rots in jail.
Down from $107 million. Oh sweet schadenfreude.

I thought furries wanted MORE hair.
I thought furries wanted MORE hair. hare.
I don’t get it. Why is he a furry?
Oh….nevermind.
Because he puts on costumes and fucks other people wearing costumes.
Maybe they’ll find his head.
But no way is this guy a narcissist. Nope, not at all.
Want to shut him up and distract him endlessly? Hang a mirror on the wall.

Brett, you’re my wife’s age. Happy premature birthday.
“The rally’s featured speakers included Andrew Wakefield”
He’s a step below Hitler. Maybe 2 steps.
Happy birthday. I’ve got scars older than you.
These whippersnappers have never even worn an onion on their belt.
I’ve told some of my co-workers that I have concert T-shirts older than them.
I’ve been saying my cell phone# is older than them.
Oh? You’ve got cigars older than who now Sonny?
Happy Birthday, Brett!
I’m going to do something especially irresponsible tonight, so I can wake up to a regretful 40 year old.
So, what you’re saying is that you’re going to hang out with the Women’s Studies department of your local university?
Brett L: Ladies, I’ve studied a LOT of women. Let me show you what I’ve learned.
I’ve learned how to tune out so completely I’m like Homer during Ned’s cider/juice lecture.
Happy birthday Brett! If it helps, 40 really isn’t much different from 39.
Except that you will magically gain 15 pounds while you sleep tonight.
Uh huh. In two weeks he’ll need readers.
I got mine right after my 49th birthday.
Aint that the truth.
*wipes lenses on t-shirt*
That’s about when I got my reading glasses.
Got my
bifocalsprogressive lenses at around 47.I had bifocals when I was a kid. My eyes eventually got better and I didn’t need them anymore.
When it was time to get reading glasses, my eye doctor also suggested bifocals. I said no.
Got my tri-focals at about the age
And you will start to notice occasional aches and pains you didn’t have before.
It had better be. I’m a moderately competitive amateur runner, and 40-45 should be a much easier age group than 35-39…
That was a lie to make him feel better.
They are an easier group to beat….and you are going to find out why.
“Rockland County, New York, has been hit hard by the measles outbreak. That didn’t stop anti-vaccination groups holding a rally in the area Monday evening that attracted hundreds of attendees, most of them ultra-Orthodox Jews.”
To fight the stereotype that Jews are intelligent?
My sister’s ex-husband (an orthodox Jew) is proof enough of that.
Fun fact: I renewed my passport just so I could run to Israel on a moment’s notice in case he tries to kidnap the kids (he and my sister have 50/50 custody) when he takes them there this summer, which I’m thinking is decently possible.
Why did she sign off on that trip????
My sister is the smartest person I’ve ever met in terms of book smarts.
Life smarts, however…
I remember getting passports for the kids. I went in person, and took a notarized form from my wife (in lieu of us both appearing, which is the usual requirement).
They rejected the form twice, and we ended up having to go together.
And yup, this is all because of custodial kidnappings.
“You think I want the little creeps around full-time?!”
/me, not a parent
Is your sister Jewish? If not, the kids aren’t Jews (at least, that’s my understanding), and so the odds an orthodox Jew would kidnap them might be lower.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess you can always use this comment as proof that you don’t traffic in antisemetic blood libel.
Hey, I’m trying to be helpful here.
Please. As long as you have a drop of Jewish blood, you’re a Jew.
The odds of an Orthodox Jew marrying a non-Jew are also low, so I’d say it’s a safe assumption.
The intermarriage may be the most surprising part of the story.
I’m nominally Lutheran, and I’m married to a (((former))) Orthodox. We eat pepperoni pizza together.
Yeah, the wedding was weird. The members of her family who are still observant weren’t allowed to participate in the ceremony.
You forgot to tell everyone the best part, how after that mix you decided to raise the kids in the Bahá’í Faith.
You don’t know I’m one of (((them)))?
We grew up in a conservative synagogue. My brother stayed conservative, my sister ended up orthodox, I went reform and married a Methodist woman.
I can’t keep up with (((you people))). Its not because I don’t care . . . actually, that’s exactly why. I just don’t care what people’s religion, ethnicity, etc ad infinitum are. I find apathy to be very . . . freeing.
Meh, whatever.
My friend Tom (Catholic) married Ruth an Israeli national from an Orthodox family. When he was visiting her family in Be’er Sheva, he taught her brothers how to make bacon cheeseburgers, which they totally loved. He said if her father ever found out, he’d have thrown out all of the pot, pans, kitchen utensils and gutted the kitchen.
Please update your name to Juvenile Bluster: International Man of Action
I now imagine JB departing his private plane in Tel Aviv wearing an ascot, a blazer, and cargo shorts, with a determined look in his eye.
Then he should change his name to Banacek.
I used to love that show. Too bad they didn’t make more episodes. George Peppard was cool in everything, from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Banacek to A Team.
The orthodox community there is notorious for collectively taking over local gov and school boards. Then being convicted of embezzling funds. They are not popular with the locals.
Oh, and here’s your song.
You were two when this was released.
I remember that from what movie? “Sixteen Candles” ?
Correct.
My freshman year at An Ohio state university, the guy across the hall had an “expensive” stereo with TV and VCR. If he had any movies other than Sixteen Candles, I don’t remember them. I must have blocked out most of Sixteen Candles, too, because I don’t remember that song, or any part of the movie aside from this bit of dialog:
“What’s your first name?”
“Long.”
“What’s your last name?”
“Dong.”
“What’s your middle name?”
“DUCK.”
Ive seen Weird Science soooooo many times…

The raccoon story reminded me:
I saw a badger on my drive home earlier this week. For the first time. I didn’t even know we had badgers around where I live.
I was not super happy about this. I’ve already got enough potentially hostile wildlife. And badgers are mean and crazy. The first time I ever saw one (in Wisconsin, of course), it was by the side of the road. I stopped my pickup to take a look, and the crazy fucker actually charged the pickup.
I saw a peacock yesterday. Haven’t seen one in ages. Got out to take a picture with one of the kids, and we realized that we were surrounded by them. They were on several roofs and walls, just staring down at us. It was creepy.
Where do you live that you have flocks of feral peacocks, Playa?
These were right on the border of San Pedro and Rancho Palos Verdes. Maybe a mile from the Port of Los Angeles.
I had no idea. Which leads to my next question:
Do they taste good?
Probably not if they’re eating out of garbage cans.
This is why I don’t eat homeless folks.
We saw a flock near Western/PV south. About twenty females on the ground, looking for food, and then one male sitting up on a fence post keeping a lordly eye on his harem.
But same: “oh look, there’s a peahen! — HOLY SHIT THEY’RE EVERYWHERE” lol
I was trying to get to Western from Paseo, but there were a bunch of detours because of the landslides. Google Maps says it was 34th st. At least 20 of them running up and down the sidewalks, crossing the streets, jumping fences, etc.
My great grandmother kept them at the ranch. I hated having to deal with those mean fuckers. No amount of pretty can make up for their personalities.
Those things shit everywhere and screech all day. A bunch of them used to live on the ranch where my wife lived. They like to hang out on the roof of your car and take giant dumps on your windshield.
Usually it’s impossible for them to sneak up on you because they are noisy as fuck.
Was it like that scene in The Birds where they gather on the jungle gym?
Funny, I never realized there were porcupines until I saw one that had been hit on the side of the road heading through western Maryland. Apparently that’s the most common way you find them up there.
When I lived on the Gulf Coast, I never saw any live armadillos but I definitely saw a lot of dead ones.
It was one of the more common road kill species I spotted during my brief jaunt through the region.
Where I live we ain’t got not stinkin’ badgers
Came here for this.
‘I saw a badger on my drive home earlier this week.’
See any mushrooms?
Unless there is a variety of mushroom that has spikes, needles or thorns, they don’t seem to grow in the desert.
I’ve never heard of badgers in Arizona…other than transplants from Wisconsin.
I’ll be damned…
Go Brett L
It’s your birthday

I saw him on the Axis of Evil tour. I thought he was pretty damn funny. And that whole *tour* invoked the terrorist thing. Of course that wasn’t in ${current_year}, so it was totes different.
If I wasn’t vaccinated, I might not go to an anti-vaccination rally during a measles outbreak.
This reminds me of the Jonah Ryan story-line on this season of Veep, where he was patient zero for outbreaks that followed his rallies that appealed to anti-vaxers (among others).

“The less than 1% of rape and incest victims can receive abortions. It simply takes two physicians to say “this woman has PTSD from rape or incest” and she can get an abortion.”
https://twitter.com/TRHLofficial/status/1128680789036666882
Which makes it an incentive for false accusations.
This might be a weird comment, but i’ve never understood why incest always gets thrown in there as it’s own reason. I don’t mean to defend incest, but wouldn’t just saying “rape” cover it? If a girl has non-consensual sex with her uncle and gets pregnant, that’s rape. So it would qualify just on those grounds, the relationship to the rapist isn’t really relevant in regard to access to abortion.
On the other hand, if a 24 year old woman has consensual sex with her 40 year old uncle and gets pregnant, that’s obviously disgusting and wrong, but I don’t see how it should qualify in the same way as an actual rape victim, when it comes to abortion.
I’m not trying to defend either rape or incest in any way, I just never really understood why it’s always presented in those terms.
Maybe to prevent inbreeding?
It’s the rate of birth defects from consanguinous relationships that cause people to default to “kill the inbred child”
I didn’t think about it like that, I guess that makes sense. I’m still not sure if I agree with putting it on the same level as rape, though.
Progs have always had a thing for killing the ‘tards. See, it’s better to be hacked to death than to live as an imbecile.
Progs just have a thing for killing.
To repurpose a quote:
Yeah, i can see the logic I suppose. But it kinda seems like it could be a slippery slope to full on eugenics
I don’t see any logic. Killing a fetus for the sins of his/her parents is really shitty.
Actually you’re totally right, I agree. I meant more that I can see how they would think that makes sense, but really it doesn’t.
I can see the logic behind an exception for rape, on the theory that getting pregnant is a know risk of sex that you assume (even if you use birth control), and having assumed the risk, you are obligated to carry the fetus to term. If you have sex, you are responsible for the consequences of sex. IOW, pretty much the logic that imposes financial responsibility for their spawn on men.
That logic doesn’t apply to women who are raped.
Query: do rapists have to pay child support?
If they’re named as the father. Otherwise whatever poor schmuck got named by the mother gets stuck with it.
I think that exception only makes sense if you presuppose that there are only 2 people involved in the situation. If, instead you presuppose that there are 3 people involved (rapist, pregnant victim, unborn child), a rape exception starts looking really heinous. Now, a child who was already disadvantaged by their father’s bad behavior is further punished for the sins of the father by being killed.
I can’t really think of any other situation where an only-tangentially related third party is partially half responsible for a situation they didn’t contribute to. Seems to me to be some seriously misdirected backlash.
“that’s obviously disgusting and wrong”
Pornhub would beg to differ
A good quarter of their videos seem to push that angle in some form or the other.
Ugh, well the EFL has served up three relegation candidates, regardless of who wins on May 27.
RN, sorry again. For whatever it’s good for, The Blues played 3 3/4 quarters of good football. If they’d played like that against the Roos, there probably would have been a different outcome.
And yeah, Dees got lucky. They might be only mediocre instead of horrific this year.
Lookin’ good for my Pies 🙂
As for England, holy shit what a turn Leeds just laid. I honestly think their goalkeeper was on drugs or something. Now I have to root for fucking Aston Villa because I’ll be damned if want to see that pig Lampard in the EPL.
*turd
‘Lookin’ good for my Pies’
Yeah, but they were put to the wall for most of the match. Admittedly, getting 5 straight goals right near the end will always help…except for baseball teams.
Didn’t see the Derby game, if that’s what you’re referencing, but the Gaurdian had an article on Leeds that goes through their recent travails. I think it has something to do with the evils of capitalism.
Yeah, that was a crazy match and they could/should have been better.
I’ll look for that Leeds article because I am somewhat curious at how badly they tanked the last quarter of the season or so. Today’s game… the goalkeeper kept running out into no man’s land every. single. time. the ball came near. It was an unbelievable shitshow. The whole defense was out to lunch.
Leeds also had significant injury problems.
Yeah, thanks. And, you’re right: they seem to play well against good times and crap against mediocre ones.

Interestingly enough that has only happened once since the Premier League was formed. However only 3 times have the EFL not served up any relegation candidates.

“Twitter Banned White House Correspondent Chanel Rion on day one of her employment, & hours after her first appearance on One America News. This comes days after President Trump praised @OANN and just one day after @brianstelter’s hit piece.”
https://twitter.com/alx/status/1128713955617189888
“Chanel Rion – an author and illustrator and newly minted OANN journalist – told Human Events her account with 25,000+ followers was suspended and that she received no warning, nor explanation from Twitter.
In a snide article, Stelter wrote of OANN: “[It] has some fans, but it is not a widely known brand — which is all the more reason why the president’s plugging it is notable. When he’s not assailing “enemy” news organizations, the president is promoting outlets he approves of, and OANN is clearly in the latter camp.”
CNN’s Oliver Darcy is known for lobbying social media companies to remove right wing voices from their platforms, to which CNN’s increasing hysteria over OANN’s presence may be linked.”

“Attorney General William Barr kidded Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday about an impending vote to find him in contempt of Congress.
Barr approached Pelosi, D-Calif., at a National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day event outside the Capitol, shook her hand and said loudly, “Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?” a bystander told NBC News.”
“Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?”

A friend of mine has one of those. Apparently when they were built the factory made a BUNCH of bodies, then built cars as orders came in. As a result, many of them sat outside in the weather, sometimes for years, before they were assembled. There’s a section around the rear suspension that allows water in, but not out. Eventually, the engine and rear suspension have to be removed so the rotten section can be cut out and replaced (this time with a weep hole). My buddy has been in the process of redoing his for several years.
But when he’s done he has something special and rare.
Oh, it’s delightful!
Old cars are a pain in the ass. I don’t care if you are Jay Leno or any of us normals. They require way too much money and effort, but there is something so cool about driving a piece of history.

FECKIN TINNITUS
Are we playing the Roman or ghetto name game?
Today is the last day of my 30s.
Happy Birthday!
Chief Tom Weitzel tells the Chicago Tribune that officers will put the animals down and public works crews will dispose of their carcasses.
Private citizens could just shoot the animals and then bury them. Oh… right…
Chicago Raccoons? The first thing that comes to mind, 1930s mobsters doing drive-bys with Tommy guns on unsuspecting raccoons?
Holy shit. My wife is in favor of honest to goodness infanticide.
Whose baby does she want to kill?
Anyone who doesn’t want theirs apparently.
Btw, adoptions don’t work, if you were adopted, better that your parents should have killed you, because your life isn’t worth living.
I know a few adopted people who might take issue with that position.
Is that an actual quote? It’s pretty fucking disturbing that some people think they have the wisdom and the prerogative to determine if a total stranger’s life is “worth living” or not.
Basically. Replace your with their.
She claims to have seen some badly abused people, but I’m not sure how she can square that with the many purple whip were adopted by loving families she also knows. From her work and from my family. ..
If you don’t mind divulging, could you provide a little context? I’m guessing she didn’t just walk in the door, put down the groceries, and pronounce “we need to kill some more babies.” At least I hope not…..
Not sure how it came up, but I mentioned the changes to nys laws to allow abortion after birth (in cases of ‘ botched abortions’), and that I think that is wrong … things went awry from there.
I’m heading on a road trip soon, specifically late May through early June. I’m not going to get more specific because I’m not going to publicly post the exact dates I’m away from my house.
The plan is to visit:
– Central PA
– Cincinnati (I’m talking with some folks about meeting in Columbus on the way)
– Bowling Green for the Corvette Museum
– Nashville
– Gatlinburg
– Asheville
– Outer Banks
– southern Delaware to tour Dogfish Head (aka Sam Adams)
– Philly area
If any glibs along the way want to meet up, you can send a mail to my poorly chosen semi-throwaway e-mail address dgroves140 AT gmail DOT com.
Define “Philly area”. I’m about an hour North of Philly.
Northwest of Philly. Pottstown area. I think we talked about the Philly area, you said you were out by Quakertown. My time near Philly will be short, I think it would be easiest if I swing your way as I head back to New England.
No idea how this works, but the TPTB can share my email with you if they can. If not, we’ll figure out something else. I have no burner email addresses.
Also, you are correct about my location.
They can share my real one (they have it) with you too, however that works.
Somehow we’ll get a hold of each other.
Done! Check your email accounts, gents.
Thanks!
Me an’ Jugsy could be interested when you’re in the (513), and since Monday was 5/13, which is the area code for Cincinnati…
Once I get to Cincy, I’ll be visiting a friend I haven’t seen in a while. Like Philly, that’ll be a short stop too. Shoot me an e-mail.
Not bad music.
I’m not along the way, but check out UpCountry Brewing in Asheville. A friend who was a cofounder of Terrapin runs the joint.
Thanks!
