ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ NOTES THE CONTINUING GOOD WORK OF THE CHOSEN ONES, AND REWARDS THEIR EFFORTS. KEEP UP THE SNARKING AT THE BRUTALS, REMEMBERING THAT THE GUN IS GOOD. GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
BY POPULAR DEMAND (I.E. THE CHOSEN ONE “CHAFED”, SP, SUGARFREE, ETC) ZARDOZ WILL DEAL WITH A VERY SPECIAL PAIR OF ADVICE BITS FROM THE WITLESS BRUTALS AT SLATE.
Q: I came out as trans to my parents when I was a teenager. They weren’t supportive, and I was sent to see a psychologist I didn’t feel comfortable talking to. I felt so guilty about the high copays that I claimed it was “just a phase” and even managed to sort of convince myself. I’m now in my early 30s, have a great career, and am engaged to a wonderful woman, but I still experience the desire to transition. My fiancée knows I saw a therapist when I was a teenager, but she doesn’t know the details, and it’s weighing on me. In the last three years I’ve been having recurring dreams where I get to be a woman, and when I wake up, I feel so depressed I can’t even get out of bed. I just want to fall back asleep and dream again. My question is twofold: Do I owe my fiancée an explanation? Do I call off the wedding? I don’t even know where to go from here. Part of me wants to keep things as they are, looking forward to these dreams as they come up and thinking about what could have been. The other part of me wants to scream who I truly am to the world and deal with it, even if that means losing everything.
A: ZARDOZ HAS CONSULTED THE TABERNACLE, AS IT HAS THE WISDOM OF ALL HUMANITY STORED WITHIN ITS CIRCUITS. THE CONCLUSION – YOU ARE A MESS. HOWEVER, YOU ARE A MESS IN ONE GOOD WAY. IF YOU END UP RENDERING YOUR EVIL PENIS UNABLE TO SHOOTS SEEDS, AND CREATE NEW LIFE…THEN ZARDOZ HEARTILY COMMENDS YOUR DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LIVE YOUR DREAM.
HOWEVER, IF YOU VALUE THIS “FIANCEE” MORE, THEN YOU MUST SUPPRESS YOUR OWN DESIRES. REMEMBER, IT WILL BE UNTO DEATH DO YOU PART…
IF UNABLE TO CHOOSE, THEN ZARDOZ RECOMMENDS A LIFE OF GRAIN SLAVERY IN THE SERVICE OF THE VORTEX.
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Q: I am a 38-year-old single gay man. I often watch guys masturbate on a popular cam site. I don’t perform on camera myself, but I like interacting with the guys who do, and I have a number of favorites. A few months ago, I found the stream of an 18-year-old guy whose routine I liked a lot. “Cam” quickly became one of my favorites, and I always tipped generously whenever I saw his show. He didn’t show his face, but his bio mentioned that he’s a high school senior who lives in the same metropolitan area as me and likes daddies. (He doesn’t know where I live.) I never suggested meeting up because the fantasy is enough for me.
This is where it gets weird. Cam’s voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it. He talked about wanting to show his face on camera, and one night he did. I was shocked when I realized he was the son of my co-workers. I’ve known him since he was about 14 via various “family night” activities sponsored by my employer. Cam has always been out and proud, and now that he’s of legal age, he’s clearly decided he wants to be very out. He’s an adult, at least according to the law, and has every right to do what he wants on camera to anyone who wants to watch. However, I worry that Cam could be setting himself up for trouble down the road, as I know that people record webcammers and post the videos all over the internet. I’m also fairly sure that Cam’s parents don’t know what he’s doing late at night in his bedroom. What’s more, he uses his real name on his stream, so it would be easy to track him down. Should I tell Cam’s mom and dad? Should I somehow tell Cam that I know who he is and that he should be more careful online? I want to make it clear that I’m not looking for permission to ask him out, have sex with him, be his sugar daddy, etc. I have not watched Cam’s stream since the night he went fully exposed. I probably won’t watch his show again, as it squicked me out a little watching a young man I know putting it all out there. What would you do?
A: CALL ZARDOZ SUSPICIOUS, BUT ZARDOZ BELIEVES YOU MAY NOT BE FORTHCOMING IN YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THIS SERIES OF EVENTS. CLEARLY THERE IS SOME SORT OF MUTUAL BLACKMAIL ATTEMPT ONGOING. FOR BOTH YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, ZARDOZ HEREBY SENTENCES YOU BOTH TO LIFE (NASTY, BRUTISH AND SHORT) IN THE GRAIN FIELDS OF THE VORTEX!
SHOULD THIS ASSESSMENT BE INCORRECT, IN THE MOMENTS YOU HAVE LEFT BEFORE THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS COME TO DRAG YOU AWAY, YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR FLAPPING BRUTAL MOUTH SHUT AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. “CAM” HAS MADE HIS DECISION TO “PUT IT ALL OUT THERE”, WHO ARE YOU TO PEACH ON HIM?
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

I’m not a fan of those. My thumb works just fine.

Also, would.
Yes. Next.
A. Obviously would.
B. Those are actual college students?
Of course it’s exclusionary — it (in principle) doesn’t favor those who want authoritarian regimes.
You know absent Article II, the damn document is neutral to pronoun use.
From what I can offhand recall, it is there where a pronoun is actually used. Outside of that, it is very inclusive.
YT;DW but if they’re objecting to “he” etc., “he” has been the standard “inclusive” pronoun for, like, ever.

“He said the suspect was a longtime employee of the city’s Public Works Department.”
Time to ban longtime public servants.
Nothing about “Longtime employee” rules out Muslim, Alt-Right, Antifa, Filthy Hippie, or Furrie. No reason not to get ones bias on. Let the blame game begin. ♫Banana-bana-bo-bana♫…

Your avatar applauds at all of your comments. I’m beginning to smell a rat.
Uh oh, not good for me and UCF
Guaranteed there was a well known pattern of behavior that everybody knew about, and nobody did anything about.
Yeah, typically if you’re a long-time employee and you’re suddenly fired it’s because a.) you did something recently that was way beyond the pale, or b.) you’ve been continually pushing the envelope and they finally got something on you. Especially in a local government position it’s usually easier to promote someone who’s a problem to some other office than to straight up fire them.
Yeah, 100% asshole.
I’ve read it’s a “municipal center” or courthouse… Aren’t those usually gun-free zones?
Their sticker must have fallen off the front door.
Courthouses around here have metal detectors. Maybe they just waved him in. “Hey, buddy!”
Yea, it must vary. When I went to juvie court in my small-medium sized town, I don’t remember seeing any metal detectors or security personnel other than the bailiffs in the courtrooms.
Oddly enough, I went to court in a smaller town nearby, and they did have a metal detector at the front door with deputies having you empty all your pockets and take off your shoes.
Give you odds it was. Wonderful way to give crazies a chance to massacre.

Quick wiki look: “He anglicized his surname from Jüngling to Yuengling and began the “Eagle Brewery” on Centre Street in Pottsville in 1829.”
Seems more Chinese than English.
I always thought it was Chinese until recently.
Stallone’s doing another Rambo. Schwarzenegger’s doing another Terminator. Can we just expect this shit to continue into perpetuity? And I don’t mean Rambo 20 or Terminator: A New Hope in twenty years. Can we expect Harry Potter and Twilight and Hunger Games reboots in a couple decades?
Hollywood is doomed, self inflicted, very sad…
It’s almost as if Western Civilization has run out of creative, original thought, very sad to ponder……
It hasn’t. Movies have gotten so expensive to produce that they can’t afford to gamble.
It doesn’t help that movies want to be filmed in abortion-on-demand territories, which for some reason happen to align with “very high cost”.
This is another case of “why doesn’t anyone open a competing business elsewhere” Filming should be getting cheaper with digital cameras and CGI. Where is our modern day Cannon films?
I’m sure it’s out there but harder to find amongst all the chum, especially when today’s youth don’t seem to have any interest in looking for it.
Reminds me: Someone brought this Kickstarter to my attention. I decided to wait it out. It’s reached almost double its target.
That’s an interesting model. Write a script and get it funded on kickstarter. I imagine with a decent camera and editing it would be as good as Hollywood.
I think that could become reality in the future. I was just pondering the other day how a lot of these YouTube cooking channels – which started with nothing but a dude and a camera – can now afford such good equipment that they are better than what’s on Food Network.
The Asylum?
Wait until those lefty youtubers force social media to be all unionized…
The kickstarter thing has been done. Penn Gillette did one.
Adam Carolla self-funded “The Hammer” and “Road Hard”. May have asked for listeners to chip in… don’t remember.
Anyway, micro-funded film projects are a full-on thing.
DUST on youtube has loads of good sci-fi short stories, many of which are done at feature quality.
I’ve backed a few flicks. Some shorts – like “Portal to Hell” – Roddy Piper’s last role. The first feature I’ve backed that’s finally being released is “Iron Sky 2”. The Lovecraftian “Dreamlands” is still in production (great crew – check out their version of “The Color Out of Space” – “Die Farbe”).
And of course, I recommended it a few weeks ago, but “Blood Machines” – “short” film is finally in post-production as well.
Probably because most of crap coming out of Hollywood are abortions to begin with.
Heard any new, good music lately? Great modern painters?
I’m sure they’re out there, but everything is becoming more diversified with limitless channels. You had music of a generation because there was only so many radio stations. Banksy is a pretty big artist.
Robert Deyber is the greatest painter of the age.
Catering to foreign audiences, largely Chinese, also drives the trend towards reductive action movies. No need to translate the subtitles of blowing shit up into Mandarin.
Yep, listen to Sonny Bunch on Sub-Beacon about the worldwide box office targets. Really frustrating – of course a big part of it is also due to Chinese companies buying large shares of some studios/distributors.
At least when the Koreans buy theater chains, it means I get to watch subtitled Korean flicks in Seattle or Honolulu the same weekend they came out in Seoul.
There’s also loads of animation coming out of china. Pretty much every good Hollywood animated movie is going to have a Chinese clone out in a very few months.

Squashed Amash.
https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/1134527808435347456
Dr. Amash to the burn unit!
Dang. ///Would
I’m no lip reader but that woman is not mouthing the words in the audio, and it’s not just out of synch there are strange skips, and the out of focus looks intentional to (poorly) mask the editing. The audio alone does a good job of taking on Amash. I could be wrong but it looks like someone found an attractive woman ranting about something and laid this audio over it. Possibly to make it more ‘viral’ but it really just makes it easier for people who disagree to ignore.
Nah. It’s her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbS-CzpAfxA
Ah, maybe she just had bad audio of the live event and (again poorly) overdubbed it. she should put a disclaimer at the beginning because that tweet video looks fake AF.
And she should show more skin, a little leg maybe.
Nooe there are different angles of that video out there.
She’s obviously a MAGA fan and a lot of her stuff is subjective. BUT, she calls him out on what I think is his big failure: refusing to deal with the FISA abuses
It’s hard to take Justin Amash seriously when he goes full-tilt on the obstruction and collusion bit while totally ignoring the FISA aspect. You’d think that would at the very least get a mention.
As I pointed out when this first dropped, that’s just not true.
I mean, back in December he objected to the nomination of Barr as A. General due to his stance on FISA. One can disagree with Amash’s interpretation of the Mueller report, but the slander is just distasteful.
Ok, but he objected to Barr because Barr favors a more lenient standard for FISA warrants and then he argues for Trump’s impeachment on the basis of obstruction stemming from an investigation conducted on the basis of a FISA warrant obtained through suspect evidence and procedural chicanery.
Well, anyone calling for Trump’s impeachment right now is a full on retard or mendacious as fuck. The dems are trying to steal the presidency from him and there’s zero evidence of any serious crime anywhere. Imagine the butthurt if any of this had happened to Obama. Trump won the fucking election. He didn’t “collude” with any Ruskies and he hasn’t comitted any crimes. You can’t put a guy in prison or strip him of his elected office because he’s from the other side, it just doesn’t work like that. All these fucking lefty journolists and pols are selling bogus bullshit and anyone buying is dumb as fuck. Let the guy serve his fucking term already. HE WON, now get over it, Mr. Amash.
@blackjack:
Exactly. The Lefties are not thinking more than one move ahead. They’re not thinking about what kind of precedent this will set.
Hey Lefties, Trump will be gone by 2024 at the very latest, and going by past electoral trends, a Democrat will win again. Get the fuck over it.
Hmm, yes I vaguely remember this. But I am very tired and not all my synapses are firing.
Am I correct in recalling that Amash didn’t ignore the FISA abuses but didn’t get very worked up about it? Or is my tiredness clouding my memory?
He stated that the President deserves 4th and 5th Amendment protections, like everyone else. As far as his level of condemnation in Trump’s case, that is a subjective judgement. I think USA flag lapel pins are gauche, others believe they are an understated display of patriotism.
Subjective. Bingo. People will find the FBI’s behavior worse than Trump’s or vice versa. Trying to be a principled libertarian as you’re trying to get re-elected in this environment is impossible. Salt the earth around DC would earn a few votes, however.
Well, maybe the investigation into the FBI and DoJ will shed some more light on all this. Myself, I’m disappointed that Amash is taking the stance he’s taking here. It strikes me that he’s arguing for impeachment on the basis of an investigation conducted illegally and which seemingly hasn’t born fruit.
I don’t even need to get to the FISA court…. they claimed they were looking to protect us from Russian agents attempting to infiltrate the Trump campaign. If that was even a little bit true, they would have called the Donald right away and sent over a detail from the FBI (and maybe the CIA) to help him guard his campaign.
They didn’t. Instead their version of “counter intelligence” investigation involved trying to set up US citizens for prosecution.
I don’t have to know anything more to know that they are lying about all sorts of things. Because their initial behavior was completely incompatible with “counter-intelligence investigation”.
Quick sanity check: Sandia national labs has nuclear weapons information. The CIA/NSA gets wind of a plot to steal these nuclear secrets. Do they A) set up some wire-taps and try to infiltrate the Sandia weapons labs with FBI agents, foreign agents and by sending honeypot agents after employees that they’ve been wining and dining as if they wanted to hire them for legal and prestigious work at high pay? Or do they B) immediately notify security personnel at Sandia and ensure protections are in place as they pursue evidence against the perpetrators?
If you answered B), you get a cookie.
This was so clearly a poison pill planted by Obama, how can anyone not see it? The sad thing is that it worked. We’ve been wrapped up in this bullshit for the whole time Trump’s been prez. The media barely got Obama’s cock out of their collective mouths before running scare tactic stories about scary Russians trying to steal our democracy. A huge swath of america believes this big lie, because it’s told often enough. Fucking bunch of retards.

The Virginia Beach shooter appears to be a black man. So I imagine it will out of the need soon…
*out of the news soon*
It’s pathetic that it even matters what his race is. Politics really brings out the worst in people. He’s a killer, but it’s double worser if the killer is of the oppressor group.
Remember that shooting in Illinois a few months ago? When I saw the TV news reports on it not showing any pictures of the shooter I immediately thought: Killer is a black man or Muslim and I was right. Ugh, their agenda is so predictable…
So he might not have actually been fired?
POC, used a handgun with extended magazines.
“We need to ban high capacity magazines.”
Sorry VA gun owners. You’re going to get fucked sooner than you already were.
Multiple firearms purchases in recent weeks, reportedly. A .45 with a “silencer” and multiple extended magazines, huh? So he’s either got an NFA stamp which means he’ll have had a fed background check or he made one, which I find difficult to believe.
He was shot by the police, BLM has a history of running with bad decisions.
Oh, I doubt BLM would touch this story’s titties with a ten foot pole. How could they? I know peak deep is unreachable but come on.
Then again, I guess the institutionalized racism within the system drove him to it angle is still in play. God. Just the thought that it’s at least plausible that somebody might try to use that angle is kind of depressing.

Aussie Rules night here. Last night’s match now, live Pies (my team) v Someone at 11:30.
Dockers. C’wood should win, but MIGHT be close. Current odds have ‘Pies by 35.
All these nail-biters have me worried.
Huge difference from the last 4 or 5 years I’ve been following the game:
We’re getting Collingwood almost every week now. (Fox shows 4-5 selected matches a week.)
This is looking like yet another classic “suck until the end”. Except I’m not seeing any signs the sucking might end.
went to my first “pro” soccer match in June
great scene, much beer
Why the scare-quotes? “Pro” has a specific meaning.
small-town humility: AAAAAA tier
I’m amazed (OK, not really) how poorly even most MLS players are paid. In expensive markets like mine the newbies have to room together to survive. And then you realize there are two professional tiers below that.
D’oh
That was not the performance of a premiership team.
Hell yeah. I don’t understand the AFL too much, but I watched the Grand National???, or w/e their championship game is called, a few years ago with some Aussie friends and it was fun as hell.
Grand Final. The game is pretty simple, actually. One of the things I like about it.
It was the 2017 Grand Final. My buddies kept claiming it was a bogan sport but were hype for it nonetheless
It is absolutely fantastic… but simple?
The base rules about scoring seem pretty simple.
But the rules about fouls? Yeah, not a clue. I got hooked watching it late-night on ESPn in the early days. First game, first thing I see is a ball up…. this rugby ball gets bounced off the ground… two guys come running at each other full speed and one dropkicks the other guy in the chest as he grabs the ball… “Holy Crap!!” (but I didn’t say crap) “What the heck is this???” “Great play there” says the announcer.
A couple of plays later and they call a foul…. some guy is running with the ball gets pulled to the ground in rather gentle fashion. “Oooh… that’s a dirty play there!!” exclaims the announcer. What the hell is going on? Then I figure out that the foul is on the guy running with the ball, because he held on to the ball when he got tackled.
Yeah, I was hooked. I watched quite a lot of games. I never did figure out how far you can run with the ball before you have to bounce it or hit it up. The intervals seem entirely random. And then there’s the question of why you would ever bounce the thing off the ground instead of just batting it up and catching it. It seems so much safer to just bump it up.
And then there’s taking a mark. Sometimes it was clear that it could be a mark, but other times I have no idea why anyone should know what was going on.
Definitely at least as inscrutable as hockey rules to the uninitiated.
The goal of the game is to get rid of the ball. Once you understand that, a lot of the rest falls into place.
We used to play that game back in the 70’s. They called it “Smear the Queer”. The 70’s were really problematic. (And no, none of us made a connection between who you have sex with and being a queer or sissy, at least not in this context. Likely because we were kids. But like I said, the 70’s were problematic.)
That was a game here in Wisconsin in the 90s, we’re always behind the times.
Probably still is a game in most of Wisconsin. You get outside the city and Wisconsin is still pretty hard core. They like their drink and they don’t mind a scrap, near as I can tell. And the major form of entertainment (other than drinking) is killing things.
I’ll be heading your way next week, BTW. We are spending a few weeks in my brother-in-law’s camper up by Lake Nebagamon. Should be a great time.
That’s pretty far north-west of me. If this were Europe it would probably be another country/ Things Europeans don’t understand about the US.
If your route up there takes you more central towards Wausau or easterly towards Green Bay, give me a shout, that’s my neck o the woods.
I heard an anecdote about this, and I can’t remember if it was on this site or in “real life” – Some Americans let some European friends stay at their house for about three days. This was somewhere on the East coast. On the first day, the Europeans said, “I think we’ll drive out to see Hollywood and maybe the Grand Canyon today.”
The American hosts had to get out a map and explain that such a drive would probably take a whole week.
A french lady friend of mine was complaining about states not falling in line under Fed Gov. I explained the US is what the EU was supposed to be. Should the EU government decide every law in her small French town? Brussels is closer to her town than DC is to me. She kind of got it then.
Oh come on… that seems too pat to be believable.

My clan’s general reaction to carry permits: fuck the governor, he’s 200 miles from here; I don’t need no permit to put a pistol in my pocket

Rhy, you talkin to me or Akira?
Akira. Stoopid threading.
Yea, it does sound like some urban legend shit… I’m not 100% sure it was “Hollywood and Grand Canyon”, but it was some far-away location that they thought they could just visit for the afternoon and then come home.
How can you not love this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AjcFfBvIcs
I like how I had the same build as the players and it’s something I probably could have played at a high level. Unlike the NFL or NBA where I don’t have the body type for the game at the pro level, let alone d1 or even d2.

I’m about to cook a colossal, prehistoric-size Fred Flintstone pork chop, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and one of the beers out of my mixer-sixer.
Nice.
But his name didn’t sound familiar? I’m calling BS.
Yeah, I noticed that too. And it was totally believable until that!
I do wonder if anyone I know has done pron. I mean there’s a million videos out there with not a lot of repeats. That’s math.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN PRON OBSERVING ONE. ZARDOZ HOPES NOT. HAS ZARDOZ NOT INSTRUCTED YOU THAT THE PENIS IS EVIL?! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Oh Zardoz, I think FL Man know the penis is evil, so he’s punishing it with beatings and choking.
Wait? The penis is evil even when “wasting your seed”?
ZARDOZ-Yahweh Intersectionality
I (very briefly) dated an actress that was in the telenovelas. Smokin’ hot Columbian. On night I saw a video of a “party” with 3 girls in a hotel. I swear it looked like her. Like, way too much like her for it not to be her. But video girl had a tattoo that actress didn’t. I’m still not sure she didn’t wear a temporary tatoo for that work for just such occasions. And this was in the early aughts, so video quality was too low for a positive ID.
We were friends (long after the dating experiment was over) when I saw the video. I obliquely asked her if there was a video of her floating around out there… she denied that it was possible. But she was very much a party girl, and had no inhibitions about groups. So I’m still 60/40 leaning yes.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
Now that I’m old and married with kids, I wish I had a video of those days…
My closest similar experience was recognizing the hotel a porno was shot in.
I have my $0.02 on movie blockbuster’s and catering to overseas revenues.
Looper has a blatant China is the future and France will be a nightmare line in it. I’m sure it was just to make Chinese censors happy.
Transformers has an even more blatant example where the villain is a US CIA spook who is more evil than Megatron. The US gov was made to look foolish and petty while there is a extremely out of place 2 minutes of China’s gov will protect the people scene.
It was as clear to me as a ivory soap or Chevy advert shoehorned into a 60’s sitcom.
I’m becoming a modern day hermit. I cancelled cable, don’t watch many new movies and have no social media other than Glibs. I guess I’m not mainstream entertainment’s target.
#MeToo, and lovin’ it.
When I moved out at age 18 (2006) I never bothered to get cable, and I’ve only gotten more reclusive (in a pop culture sense) since then.
I’ve never heard Justin Bieber before that I know of, and I didn’t know who the Black Eyed Peas were until a few years ago. The last social media account I had was on MySpace – that’s how long ago it was.
I try to re-align my recreational pursuits with things that are somewhat didactic like classic literature, history, philosophy, classical music, chess, and most recently, web design and programming. I do catch myself pointlessly farting around on the Internet though. Maybe I should install that thing that limits your time on certain time-wasting websites like YouTube.
The Transformers one is probably the most blatant (other than the remake of Red Dawn being “remade” at the last second to turn the Chinese army into the Norks) – but there have been a lot of other things. Don’t remember which podcast I was listening to, but folks are talking about having any negative “reference” to China removed from movies/tv shows etc – of course Uighurs, Tibet, etc is right out, but they’re getting even more stringent lately.
Meanwhile the Chinese government is apparently leaning on moviemakers to tone down the nationalism. So Wolf Warrior 3 and Operation Red Sea 2 aren’t coming out.
Nothing new. Hollywood was reluctant to offend Nazi Germany at least until they started banning Americans films before Pearl Harbor. And the British censors had a major effect on the film industry. Supposedly the real reason for the double beds for married couples was because that was a pet peeve of a British censor. The Hays Code didn’t require that at all for example.
Oh and I remember the good old days when saying that Mao was behind Goldfinger or Blofeld was supposed to be easy way to not ruffle feathers.
I agree it happened quite a bit in the past. Who you make a villain has been difficult since the Cold War ended, terrorists can’t fit the same mold as a large “evil” state like The USSR did.
Iron Man 3 had an entirely different ending tacked on just for China, so a Chinese surgeon saves Tony Stark.
Also, in The Martian, China’s space agency has to save the day for NASA in order for Matt Damon to be rescued.
Well, it’s only fair, Matt Damon saved The Great Wall.
My two 14 year olds are betting. The bet? Make a smoothie with soy sauce that tastes good. Parameters, 3 tbs of soy sauce.
Idiots.
14 year olds… idiots…
Sounds about right.
They requisitioned a construction sign that was knocked over for about a year a couple days ago. To get it home, they looked like knights frim King Arthur’s court with it tied to the bike like a joust.
I, uh, re-homed a street sign from Nowhere, OK with my name on it after a long day of day drinking. The way I saw it was that if they really didn’t want me to take it, then they wouldn’t have done a half-assed job of nailing it to a wooden post. Up yours, Cherokee Nation.
Yeah, many years ago there was an exit sign for Climax, NC that went missing very frequently. It was on the way to the 3 major universities in the research triangle and it was a smaller rectangle with an arrow pointing up and to the right after “Climax”. You really can’t expect a bunch of college kids to leave something like that just sitting there on a couple of metal poles.
After several years they finally replaced it with one of those giant square exit signs and it didn’t appear to go missing any more. Hard to put a 10 foot tall sign in an 8 foot tall dorm room.
I missed out on the chance to go to Newfoundland when I was in school because I spent more time than anticipated in Nova Scotia drinking and chasing girls, but I definitely would have gone to Dildo and stolen the sign.
I’ve been travelling all night
To reach the coast of New Found Land
To meet the girl from my dreams
But she’s not there
I’d rather Rant and Roar.
But they now have a permanent, 8×10′ sign that says, “Climax, NC”. College kids got to be college kids, and they affected change in the community.
I remain amused by states replacing their ‘420’ mile markers with 419.99 markers.
I could do it with a teaspoon. 3tbs? No way. Not even low sodium/
Again…they are idiots
Straff, I’m sure you could come up with a recipe. I would think I could make a savory smoothie that would taste good with that much soy sauce.
Bloody Mary with bacon, shrimp,and parsley. The soy would add flavor and salt.
Parcell instead of parsley.
That would work. It’d just be liquified itame.
Maybe this.

And the Netherlands, they love that stuff there.
Meh, just make a 64oz. smoothie, easy peasy chicken greasy.

I worked in a summer camp kitchen for several of my teen years.
We did a mint extract challenge. 1 tablespoon of mint extract, must be held for 5 minutes.
The other challenge was to eat a pint of ice cream, drink a 1/2 quart of milk, then play one on one soccer. First to score a goal without puking won.
14-16 year olds…idiots
I make a mean shrimp marinade and glaze with 1/2 cup of soy, honey, rice wine vinegar each. Add 2 tbs. of sesame oil, five spice, ginger, then 2-3 scallions.
Marinate for 4 hours or more then grill and baste with the reduced marinade.
Delicious.
Blend on high for one minute and serve in a tall glass with cilantro garnish.
Mighty ZARDOZ does hear the pleas of the chosen ones. I am gratified.
As long as you’re not the one gratifying yourself people seem to be ok with it. Otherwise they kick you out of the library.

They put that pic at the top of the story. Consciously. Let that sink in.
I have a question. Now that they are passing these anti-vaping age of 21 laws, what about things like nicotine gum or patches? I haven’t hear those mentioned in coverage of these laws. If they aren’t affected, then why are they banning a device that can much more rapidly help decline smoking and has a 0% nicotine product available? If they are affected, why do they want children to not have access to a means to quit smoking? I hate people.
There aren’t age restrictions on the gum or the patch? 18+?
They are 18+, but I’m’ saying in places moving the vape/smoke age to 21, are they doing the same with those? I don’t know. Either way it seems problematic.
My guess is that they’ll increase the age to 21+ then. Oppression needs to be uniform.
Wasn’t the patch prescription only? Or is that state by state?
I bought it Walmart off the shelf when I unsuccessfully used it.
You know why.

We are such nerds. I would watch the whole thing, but it just made me think of Choke, so I jumped links.
I’m a nerd but I am not familiar with that movie. Though It looks like something I’d like.
Meh, the movie isn’t so much about historical re-enactment, more about having a God complex and a crazy mom, based on a book by the author of Fight Club.
I think I didn’t finish that book. I thought Invisible Monsters or Survivor would make good movies but… oh well.
You didn’t finish the book where the main character talks about his favorite website grwoing up being a live feed of an Orangutang shoving acorns up a guys ass?! It’s like I don’t even know you!
Yes, those would have made good movies. Survivor was in the works until 9/11 and never got of the ground, so to speak. And for a long while Invisible Monsters was slated with Val Kilmer playing the guy that was unknowingly being dosed with estrogen, of that I approve.

Hank Haney, who made several racist and sexist remarks about women’s golf on his radio show Wednesday morning, has been suspended from the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel
with co-host Steve Johnson on Wednesday’s show >>>>
Johnson: “This week is the 74th U.S. Women’s Open, Hank.”
Haney: “Oh it is? I’m gonna predict a Korean.”
Johnson, laughing: “OK, that’s a pretty safe bet.”
Haney: “I couldn’t name you six players on the LPGA Tour. Maybe I could. Well … I’d go with Lee. If I didn’t have to name a first name, I’d get a bunch of them right.”
Johnson: “We’ve got six Lees.”
Haney: “Honestly, Michelle Wie is hurt. I don’t know that many. Where are they playing, by the way?”
slow racism day
Jokes aren’t supposed to make fun of things! (I know nothing of the subject, maybe that’s even more racist and sexist on my part. but I can only name a few PGA players because the heathens on sports radio keep insisting that golf is a sport and trying to force it down my throat. I’d rather watch speed skating if I had to choose, glad I can choose neither)
noted Thai golf agrees with suspension
Didn’t he also agree it was cool to cheat on his wife and drive after taking drugs and or drinking?

The bill passed in Oregon’s House late Thursday in a 39-18 vote after it was approved earlier in the Senate. It is aimed not just at reducing the huge surplus but also at preventing diversion of unsold legal marijuana into the black market and forestalling a crackdown by federal prosecutors.

OLCC is one of the scummiest state agencies. There are more outright corrupt ones, but OLCC takes the prize for most intrusive, venal, petty, and shittiest run. They feared losing their liquor monopoly like WA did, so branched out to control the marijuana business and expanded their bottle deposit kingdom. The marijuana oversight is a joke rife with connected payoffs such as mandatory fees to approved labs for testing the products, something that isn’t done for other crops.
