I guess I really dodged that Friday the 13th! I say that as I write this from the 10th, so, what do I know? Maybe lots of good stuff will happen then; maybe COVID gets all of us. My plans are that I’ll be enjoying a 3-day weekend and a trip to the optometrist’s office. So, with that out of the way, let’s get it on:
It’s oh-so-sad to realize that we coulda had a non-grifter in the WH. Remember, folks: This guy works as an editor for Bloomer’s news “empire”. Totes unbiased.
Follow this lady’s example, and, reach for the stars! See, you go at ‘em for a low-ball amount, and then, play to the jury, so that they really stick it to The Rat.
Oh, good! –I was worried that COVID in the US wasn’t gonna be militarized.
And, to think–you animals want to LEGALIZE IT!! Won’t somebody please think of the Canucki children?!? Best. Hockey Game. EVAR.
Dude, I get that where you live is a relatively small community. But, if you didn’t want to be a public figure, why run for office? Oh, right! Power and control…durrr!
This week…I have no getting-to-know-you questions. So, ask your own, and let’s see what answers you get.
I’m linking this story for the following reasons:
- “beautiful succulent
- To give Home Depot due credit
- This shit makes me laugh
You touch-a my car, I break-a you face. Seriously, though—don’t touch my property without my permission, and I won’t have to shoot your dumb ass.
To all the (((glibs))) who support the Night Shift, I give you: A llama in a kippah. The real joke is that this cost the dude $400. For a llama rental. NOT the same as downtown, I can promise y-…uhh, never mind.
Because International Womxn’s Day just flew past us, he’s my vote for an ’empowerment’ anthem. And, in honor of Spring Break, enjoy some sun.
Spring is upon us, but, you lot prefer Fall. Well, you’ll take the warming weather and LIKE IT!! Jump in; the water’s fine, and, anyway, you need to wash your ass. Anyway–Peace, Love, and Happiness…oh, look who I’m talking to.
So we gonna get riots out of this thing?
At the very least.
What you did there…
Not until Antifa links the coronavirus to global warming.
Pretty sure Extinction Rebellion already pulled that card.
Extinction Rebellion are a bunch of weenies. They can be pushed out of the way. There are some videos on YT.
If you want genuine violence then look to antifa.
Why would anyone riot over a llama in a kippah?
How the hell is a Llama related to the sister constantly talking about wanting to get married?
I was wondering the same. Since (((you))) don’t even know, now I’m really confused.
You would think the reporter would ask about this. The whole thing doesn’t make any sense.
I was thinking; what am I missing? If the reason for this is so self evident as to not need explanation, I feel dumb.
Because they look good in a tuxedo……Duuuhhh!
I think this is the correct answer.
I’m not sure, but, I think it is.
Well, you wouldn’t take a pig to a Jewish wedding, would you?
My wife got a big kick outta the succulent story,
SirLord D. Funny stuff.Doro can empower me any time.
Ja!
Some more sun.
There wasn’t a single scantily clad woman in that video. Sir Digby (and Q) are crying.
My apologies (also includes beefcake for the gals and some of the guys)
I appreciate the effort but I was thinking of something more like this.
https://youtu.be/k3SLlqOoYU4
Huh. Those girls look familiar.
I don’t know who had the genius to use that video with popular rock songs… but he has my eternal thanks.
A giant among men.
Here.
Sun and fun.
Tundra gets it.
As well as DLR. I’m pretty sure he got plenty of “it”.
This is better because it has off roading.
Save a horse.

Haha, That was my theme song for a girl I knew.
Some 80s movie stars in this one
I some how missed that on MTV back in the day.
Not a set of fakeys in the bunch! I miss the 80’s…
Same song but with pussy.
Van Halen > Sammy Hagar > Van Hagar
> Hagar the Horrible
I agree with one caveat; this song kicks ass.
I’m not saying all Van Hagar is bad. Some of it was pretty good. But all of it makes me think of Crystal Pepsi.
https://youtu.be/KPvyq_KmXhc
Me too. Still remember that.
*shudder*
I am. And that song is a prime example.
This is accurate.
I don’t like to pass judgement, but watering a plastic plant for two years means you are dumb as dog shit.
That doesn’t sound at all judgemental.
ALOL
“Don’t water the plants, they’re plastic!”

She at least has a sense of humor about the dumb thing she did. She recognizes that it was dumb.
She did. She was a very good sport about it. Hell, she could have just thrown it away and moved on with her life.
I don’t know, admitting to something like that seems a bit of a cry, “look at me”. Which I guess is the thing these days. I do stupid shit daily but I don’t publicize it. Maybe I will tweet my laundering of poopy socks soon so I might be one of them.
My favorite Redd Foxx line: On speaking of his experiences in the Korean War and his subsequent penchant for Asian women, “When I joined the Army the government said ‘Fuck the Koreans!’, so I did.”
He was a hell of a stand up comic. It’s too bad there wasn’t a way of working in more of his humor in Sanford & Son.
He could work in bits like this one.
Alterra announces ski area closures
Business will be interesting this year.
Vail too
I don’t ski; how much earlier than normal is this?
About a month
I have a big order for lift parts from Snowmass in CO. (part of Alterra). Hopefully it is still on.
Brutal. This is no bueno.
Soon the commi local town governments in ski towns will be encouraging people to buy cigarettes to raise revenue since they raised those taxes.
Wow, so this is what one of these late night thingies is all about.
*looks around*
Very nice.
Those songs, though? Brutal.
This is a VH song.
Oh, and after almost 50 years of hockey, I can assure grandpa that weed and hockey go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Thanks, Mr. DIgby! Nice place you got here!
Hey Tundra! What are you doing up so late?
As long as we’re linking VH, let’s play one of the worst rock videos (but one of the best songs) ever.
Crazy day.
Trying to wind down.
Unchained
All hail the brown sound. That was their best era.
I saw their last tour in 1984. It was insanely good. The boys knew how to put on a show.
You know it’s a cover, right?
Dude. Yes.
Just checking. I mean Tundra posted two of their best IMO.
Pretty easy off Fair Warning.
It was some hyperbole.
Shhhhh. I think you just summoned him.
Oi! Thankee, my man, Tundra.
Close out your night with some fine half-naked fillies.

You must be tired if we aren’t getting nudes late Saturday night.
16……..my word look at her page.
I’m watching comedians tonight. I don’t want to think about coronavirus.
I get tired of all the negativity about the whole situation. I know it’s bad, but for fuck’s sake, I don’t need texts every single time the number of confirmed cases jumps by one. I don’t need texts with a link to some article just saying “This is getting really bad!!” And I certainly don’t need editorializing on how this is so much worse because TRUMP is president (China and Italy are getting assfucked by this thing, so I don’t think anyone can take it as a lesson that authoritarian government styles and nationalized healthcare would prevent things like this).
Take precautions, but don’t shut down your whole damn life. You can still laugh and have fun.
IOW, you’re not on Facebook or Twitter.
Not much else going on. Good choice. No sports is annoying.
I’m watching what might be one of the last soccer games – from Australia. It’s like I’m living On the Beach vicariously.
Telling ya, we need a corona league for sports. You have it or had it and you can play. Hell, if you don’t care if you get it, you can play.
? interesting twist.
I saw young Dave Chappell on a Comedy Club Network show from the 1980s

1 and 2 not bad at all
Ok. I went out on the porch for a cigarette and saw a guy walking a dog in a storm trooper costume talking on a cell phone. I thought I was mis-seeing it so I waited until he was under the street light. Yep. Definitely wearing a storm trooper costume, walking the dog, talking on a cell phone. I heard him say “I get it dude, we’re living under oppression, but this is the biggest thing that’s happened worldwide since world war two.”
I….don’t know what to say.
He’s talking to his brother about finally getting his own place and moving out from the parents’ house.
Bravo!
*hearty laugh*
Wow, you live in a weird neighborhood. Here the weirdest we get is my one neighbor shooting thermite laced pumpkins with a high powered rifle. It makes you jump the first explosion but at least it is normal behavior,
Yeah, that’s totally normal. I also found a deer head on the sidewalk while walking my dog. I knew whose it was.
Bambi?
The dogs?
Jack Woltz?
My contractor neighbor that bow hunts. I sent him a text.
I feel like that moment should be shared with the world. It’s your duty to find neighbors with doorcams and have them find this guy and save the video.
Friday, I was talking with the neighbors and one guy keeps saying “we need cameras, none of us have cameras, all those kids will be out of school, we need cameras”. So no cameras. I wish I’d had my cell phone
Cameras are common in my neighborhood, I still need one though. The ‘Ring’ cameras are cheap and easy, but I might do a proper camera and old PC as server just to not give my data to amazon.
I didn’t even know they had storm trooper costumes for dogs.
Lol@succulent story.
I have plant stuff around here that looks fake. They get the moisture straight from the air. Weird looking beings result, much of it fairly sexual looking.
Netflix “Explained” series has an episode from Nov 2019 on a future virus outbreak.
It’s not a freak out piece. Does a good job of explaining why we’re going to see more and more or these, and how they tend to just fade away or flame out.
I think it’s one that people should look at and ask themselves about.
I’m definitely going to get back into prepping after this and and possibly buy a gasoline generator and water purification supplies.
Toilet paper loom.
Someone this morning said that they’re going to start scooting around on the carpets when the TP runs out.
I’m not flexible enough any more for that.
I might not be either but I am thinking it depends on the carpet. Thick shag and I think I can pull it off.
That series is co-produced with Vox. Jus’ sayin’.
NO problem with the lady watering her plastic plant. I water my waifu everyday.
Do you give it an opportunity to consent, like Louis CK, or just ho full Weinstein on it?
“ho”
I think you answered your own question there.
I used a rubber.
Cheaper than piss hookers?
Seen any of the current sumo basho? Weird as fuck without an audience. Seems like a rehearsal or practice match.
I hope tomorrow is this.
Hey Diggy and all you other night owls! just got home from work. We have our first 2 cases of Flu Manchu here in town. Naturally it’s people that just returned from overseas. Wifey has a head cold and I’ve got a snotty nose but feel fine otherwise. People are freaking the fuck out just like everywhere else.
Canadians. They’re just like us.
Well……the night-owls, maybe.
But, let’s not go overboard, here.
Aside from the flappy-headedness we are very alike.
Well…and, the beady eyes, right?
Yep
People are so fucking stupid. Let’s all starve to death because we don’t want to catch a cold.
I’m not going to starve to death. I have a can of Jalapeno Spam on reserve.
The public’s response to this is certainly sobering… I mean, if people are freaking out this bad about something that has a survival rate of 99%, what happens if something really deadly breaks out?
Usually things with higher mortality rate burn themselves out by killing their hosts before spreading too widely.
And 1% is optimistic right now as long as people choose to not take this seriously.
It would not hurt America to skip a meal once in a while…
Yes.
I guess Sir Digby is out clubbing tonight. I’m beat. Good night kids.
‘Night, Chafed!
Wash your hands.
lol…..just had a comment sent to moderation! What do I win?
Me too.
Did you say shag carpet too? I think that is the trigger.
OK that ruins my theory.
thick shag?
Maybe it is because of the music that you once listened to…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IvuVDYs_9s
Because 70’s, what can I say?
I never listened to that. We listened to whatever the megawatt station was playing n OKC on the AM radio.
RIP: Genesis P-Orridge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8klW9trVTQ
The pronouns are making my head hurt more than the music.
But admittedly that sent me down a wiki-vortex – I know OF these folks & the history is interesting. I’m a big fan of the music as it developed in the 80s but I have to say some of the early stuff is hard to listen to.
There’s a lot in that article that seems odd to me.
Since the over reaction to Wuhan Flu is threatening to destroy modern life you better get ready to back…way back…back before time

No truck tonight, Stop & Shop central warehouse for our area is out of groceries. I’m making sure all my empty shelves are clean and sipping some nice Lavazza coffee while I earn my overtime rate for Saturday night.
So you also got to experience 80s Romanian stores
Thank a trucker!!!

Q. Why is there a shortage of toilet paper?
A. Because 50,000,000 people are shitting their pants over Coronavirus.
That’s concerning.
That’s putting it mildly. In fact, It’s almost as mild as COVID.
I have to go wash my hands……..out.
Rhywun, I don’t know why some stores stock during the day; it seems dumb to me. I imagine recruitment and payroll are the relevant drivers of such choices but it seems a pretty pricey trade off with customer convenience/satisfaction. At our store, it is really hard to find overnight crew. I’ve been here 3 years, 2 cow orkers have been here 30+ years, and the rest of the crew is a constant churn of young people who quickly realize they are not cut out for the graveyard shift.
My lizard brain says “why don’t they stock at night” even though all the stores in Bay Ridge close at night. So, OK. Why not stock early mornings or something, instead of freaking peak hours when I shop?? It’s maddening.
Oh, and this is a (THE) major contribution to the double-parking problem that exists up and down Fifth Avenue all day.
*grumble*
I love working the nights. Little traffic, less human interaction.
I did it for about 10 years and hated every minute. 9-to-5 was the holy grail – when combined with no interaction with the public, of course.
Yeah–nice work, if you can get it. then again, i love the less-lighted times of the day. So…night.
Yeah, the fact that I’m a night owl clashes with my preference for 9-to-5 work. I.e. I am a zombie until noon for the last 20 years.
I had to be on day shift for a year, and I couldn’t fucking deal with it.
Lovin’ this 5PM – 2AM shift now (I call it “second-and-a-half shift”)
That sounds rather delightful. Especially if you go in going against traffic.
No doubt. I’m also getting to work about half an hour after most of day shift has left, so I park right next to the front door every single day. Plus, there are no management bigwigs there on second shift, so the work environment is much more relaxed.
I know sunrise can be inspiring, invigorating–whatever. It’s just…it’s usually just assholish to me. That sun coming up pisses me off more than anything.
I did contract work outdoors in all weather for years and years. You’re either sweating under a blistering sun or freezing your ass off. I don’t miss it.
Alright–i’m finally here. Now, to peruse these glorious comments.
Thank Heavens! I thought that you had damaged the seal on that mysterious drum in the sub-basement.
In a place where basements aren’t much of a thing…isn’t that just a basement?
That’s where the CHUDS emerge from the nest. Ask this fretful boy why he took the stairs three at a time until well into adolescence.
https://movie-monster.fandom.com/wiki/Boogens
Like that but worse. Existential dread and a basement bedroom are not a happy recipe for a nervous boy. Before that we lived in an old farmhouse where the electrical system was pretty wonky. Want to know how to replace a blown fuse with a penny?
What is it now, after inflation?
🙂
Ummm… Safer?
Since I will soon be leaving the People’s Republic of NYC for freer lands, I think I want to acquire an AR and/or AK pistol; also, if I can save up enough, a Chiappa Rhino.
Sounds like a solid plan
I’ve been intrigued by the Chiappa Rhino as well. One of the gun archetypes I would like to own is “gigantic fucking revolver”, and a Rhino in .44 Magnum fits the bill quite nicely.
I really like the lines of the Rhino. Particularly the wee 2 inch barrel model in .357/.38 looks like a nice EDC or glove box piece.
Does anyone here have any experience with that chainsaw top pump handle offered by Mossberg on the 590?
Not at all. It looks…interesting. What’ll those assholes come up with next??
I was out later than I was expecting. Well; either that, or, I was expecting glibs to stay up longer and humor me.
Dang.
We were in attendance and you weren’t here. HOW DARE YOU?
I know–I was bad, and I must be spanked.
Okay Dinka!
I’m up now. Dog keeps acting like he needs to poop but doesn’t.
Waaaay ahead of
himyou.Oh, boy–Target is doing a $10 card on $40 cleaning items….I guess they aren’t planning on giving many out this week.
I’m having a hard time deciding if I want to stick out my last hour at work or just head home now.
Go home. If there’s no stock to shelve then what’s the point?
Do like the faux upscale grocery here- move excess products from adjacent item over into the gaps to make it look like everything is there.
Ha! That’s a constant fight I have my manager. They want all the dead stock pushed out. I know that the items that go in those spaces will soon be in so I’ll just have to pull all that dead stock anyway. Also, NY (and IIRC, MASS) has a consumer protection statute that requires us to sell an item at the listed price, so when items are misshelved it leads to problems with recalcitrant customers .
“Recalcitrant customers” is code for (((old ladies))), isn’t it?
Music!

All fun has been cancelled. This seems like a vast overreaction.
They shut down Pornhub?!?
Well….no more Purell.
Who needs Purell when banana skins will suffice? Oh, wait, no bananas left… My bad.
Someone here turned me on to this yesterday and I want moar! https://youtu.be/fRtfpBGmySU I could listen to this at work all night long.
A Mojeaux presentation?
Em, not that kind of “turned on” Diggus. You’re safe. After all there can only be one Fanboi and I like my head securely matched to my neck, TYVM!
LAME!!! I meant, did she introduce it–seems like it could/should be on playlist.
Also: “fanboi”?? You wound me, good sir!
Everyone knows what a flirt you are, Lord Diggy! You can’t resist her (ahem) vast tracts of land.
Now, who’s staring??
Diggy reacting to Hayeks – https://youtu.be/Xxe-JYaS8bs
1. You’re jumping between our lovely glib chicks
2. I don’t think Hayeks has ever been on a clam shell
3. How did you know about that gravy packet?
No wonder no one wants to stick around for my late-night antics–y’all think I’m a perv!!
(never mind my avatar…)
I still the best one was “Not a naked Intruder” or maybe the fapjorium one. I’m boring. I used the cat’s ass one for years and then when the melt-down happened I used Festus and Festus. I’m not wise in the ways of kompooters…
And you’re right about the Mojo/Hayek mix-up but they are both red-headed and busty. My bad.
NANI is my registration handle, but SDCC was from the long ago. And before before: Trouser-pod.
But, too much “hassle” when I I use the NANI handle–questions and all that (as opposed to being branded a hussy!). Also:
I….wa….really? Go on…
Hayek has auburn hair and Mojo cops to strawberry blond. Hooters til the sun comes up. I’ve seen the photo evidence.
I guess I’ll have to start a fan club… All that, and brains and heart to boot!
Don’t blame me! I’m tired, a little tipsy and somewhat virally loaded. Lousy Smarch weather…
A veritable petri dish, this one.
I am partial to Not Another Naked Intruder.
E tu, Chafed? What makes it better, in your opinion?
It’s damn funny.
Gonna eat some order-in pizza and hit the sack. Poor Wifey is suffering but I feel not terrible, as per usual. All of our ailments seem to be upper rather than lower respiratory so it ain’t Flu Manchu. I’m 55 and she’s 58. We’ll survive. Live long and prosper late-nighters! I’ve got a shift tomorrow.
Feel better Festus. Nyquil is your friend.
Just admit you’re a communist already.

Hey–he’s in charge, and I don’t see any virus on him. So, who else is qualified to run everything, huh, Mr. Little-Gov???
Also, how’s this for compromise?
Funny avatar but the name, NANI, is funnier. I’m not kidding when I say I laughed repeatedly at that handle.
Well, people know Diggy. And, I got a lot invested in it.
Still, I can be flexible (ladies….).
Just saw Arkansas Gov. Hutchinson on Fox saying something similar – specifically about testing and medical equipment “we can’t just rely on private companies setting priorities”
NYC used to be a center of industry and research. I love how Mr Mayor is shifting the blame to the federal government (Trump), when he could be spooling up his own hand sanitizer plants.
Day 2 of being in a little classroom with 25 other people.
On the agenda: classroom, final written test, lunch, final practical tests and live fire.
Do you have teeny, tiny bullets to kill a virus?
Since we’ll be armed, it should discourage the virus from trying to attack us.
Alternate joke: According to the guys shooting major, 9mm would be appropriate.
I rather like that one.

Dog finally pooped, barked at some coyotes, and settled down. Back to bed for me.
Crap & Run–got it.
Damn…this place is almost as empty as the theater when I saw The Hunt.
Seriously: I was the only person there, and the theater bought my ticket.
Was it any good?
I enjoyed it, because I saw what I went in wanting to see: Betty Gilpin whooping ass.
The movie is poorly written, and even addresses some head-scratchers in film…well, mentions some; not actually addresses them. Everyone is a caricature, with the exception of Betty’s character, and, even then, she’s unbelievably resilient and capable. Movie wants to be satirical, but should have been a different conceit to do so.
So many drugs just fell out Digby’s ass.
Also, wifey finally got her pllc, anyone want to guess how long it took?
6 months?
Also, no toilet paper, because the world is ending.
9 months.
Some straight up third world buckshot.
