We hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend being locked up at home.
I went out.
Show off.
GRANDMA KILLER!!!!!!111!!1eleventy
If he killed Grandma, I don’t wanna think of the quaint, little Bolivian village that was probably decimated by my excursions.
And I’m going to bed.
I’m losing several GB auctions and getting drunk. Almost bedtime here.
I ate a couple bites of pizza crust.
Hear my confession.

TOO SOON!!
How can we open post while we’re trying to figure out if this Perry Mason thing is ever going to be interesting ?
Do you think you’d be interested in Perry Mason’s thing? Either way, that should help you decide.
Locked up at home?
Bah! We went out for restaurant dining.
Did you at least loot it when you were done? It’s the only way to not get corona.
No. We did not read the instructions first. ?
and now you are dying of the Covids! See what your refusal to follow directions brought you?
The rain let up enough for me to get a nice half hour motorcycle ride up the shore.
I am testing a flap at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow. It’s better to test in the morning because the Chinese are 13 hours ahead. 7a.m. my time means 8 p.m. their time. They want to go home so they protest less. When we test late at night (our time) it is morning there and they have all day to ask inane questions and make spurious requests.
Whoever thought this was a good idea needs his head examined.
Waiting for Q’s mammary monday post?
Oh wait, flap. Nevermind.
Well, depending on what Q posts, flaps may be involved…
/duck ‘n’ run
Our favorite watering hole has a sign out front that says, “we wear a mask, so you don’t have to”. And there are barstools at the bar. That’s why we’re regulars.
Phase 4 lock down sounds a lot like Stage 3 Dementia.
Acting like a fucking weirdo is a fetish I suppose.

Isn’t that the definition of ‘fetish’?

Yeah, sure, that’s what they all say.
weekend being locked up at home
Having some Shiner Bohemian Black Lager. Picked it up because I loved the Guinness Black Lager, this is close, but not as smooth.
Speaking of TX, Rahr makes one called Ugly Pug that has a way with me
Their website says they don’t have anything with 100 miles of me.
true: you got your own krauts up there
I must confess that I drank most of my Pug within crawlin’ distance of the brewery
Huh, looking it says Sprecher up here makes one. I haven’t ever seen it though. I’ll have to keep an eye out.
Checking their website it looks like they don’t even distribute in this area anymore. Sad.
Sprecher f’n rocks, maaaaan! OK–their unadulterated beverages certainly do, so, I imagine their barley pops do, too.
Ugly Pug is….fair to Midland. I say that after having had their Scotch Ale several years back. It’s no McEwan’s, lemme tell ya.
I never had their beer, but the soda was sold around here at least into my late 20s. I don’t remember if I ever drank it though.
Their cherry cola is righteous. Not that I can have it much anymore….
Their lo-cal root beer is the best of that type I’ve had, and doesn’t use aspertame, or else I wouldn’t be drinking it. It is something I can have.
Drinking DAB, I love this stuff. One thing the Germans still do right is beer.
I bought meself a Wakizashi. I love the feel of this thing, see what you’ve done with your commie virus shit? The way you can switch one/two hand grip is wonderful, those slant eye yeller fucks knew what they were doing with this stuff. I’m a stab you and cut off your head!
Who/what was the maker? Commercial piece or traditional?
It’s not a 3-4k piece if that is what you’re asking. I know a guy who has a couple of those, they’re gorgeous. Mine is a cheapy Cold Steel blade, but it’s nice and razor sharp. I want a real Japanese one once I get used to this beginner blade.
My grandfather brought back an officer’s sword from his adventures in the Pacific Theater. I think one of my uncles has it now. I would love to get a closer look at it; I haven’t seen it in decades.
My grandfather gave me a machete he carried in WW2, Sheffield. I still have it.
Cold Steel makes good stuff. I probably own my body weight in their products.
I’ve got a Cold Steel Chisakatana back in the US. Great performance for the price. Not a traditional format but a good compromise for something that should work well indoors.
Cold Steel blades are especially good for practice to preserve a proper Japanese blade.
The one I have is the Dragonfly. Perfect to me, 30.5 inches total length, 9 inch handle, heavy and razor sharp right out of the box. I haven’t even wiped the oil off the blade yet. I’m a little buzzed to say the least, lol.
I bought one of their blades based on a Glib mention, great purchase,
I just picked up one of their Spetsnaz shovel last week. Decent construction. Just need to strip and refinish the handle. Maybe sharpen the edge a little more.
I’ve had one of those in the back of my car for years. I made a cover out of some sheet aluminum I had laying around just so the sharp edge isn’t obvious. It’s not legal here if used as a weapon but as long as it seems to be nothing more than a shovel it wouldn’t be a problem.
I sharpen the edges of all of my shovels. They dig better that way.
I have the prostitute sharpen the edge of the shovel. It gets buried with her so I wouldn’t waste my own time doing it for one time use.
My next goal with it is to make a kydex sheath handle down so can be affixed to a pack like a WWII entrenching shovel.
Hey–Cold Steel can make a helluva blade. I had one of their fancier tantos about 30 years ago–no idea what happened to it. That bad-ass could easily handle multiple punches through sheet metal.
I didn’t really realize how substantial these blades are. Hitting someone with the blunt side would knock someone senseless, getting hit with the sharp side, well, you’re probably going to die.
Yup. I did just buy a seax off of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZHMVTFC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Substantial, too. It should pair well with the dao I bought back at the first of the year.
Nice!
Working. Day four. It’s hot.
Yesterday I met a covid survivor in the wild, first one. A heavy set woman, 70ish, had the covid and obviously recovered. She was working in her garden with her fat 40ish daughter. Happy, happy to see my bee partner and me. She gave us the rundown, she listed her serious ailments, about 4 or 5, but I only remember one was autoimmune disease. She was never hospitalized, said she was very sick for about 2-3 weeks and then 3 weeks of recoup time but now she was back to her regular self.
It seemed like she would have been a candidate for a funeral but here she was outside, no mask, working, happy about a month after the recoup time, or 3 months after she first go sick. Admittedly she was sort of isolated, couldn’t see any neighbors from her house, but still. We weren’t masked either and she was not socially distancing. Very nice person. We’re going to put 2 hives on her property next year and she was excited, she liked the idea and the bees.
I have a friend that works in NE Ohio as a Nurse Practitioner. He deals with a lot of social worker referrals, e.g. homeless, mentally troubled, etc. Another friend is a maintenance supervisor for a local hospital. I asked them both “know any CoVID patients?” They both say “nope.”
Its anecdotal, but based on what I read/hear daily from our governor, the math doesnt really balance out.
These are the stories that need retelling. Reading the media these days, you’d think we were all immortal until 4 months ago.
My co-workers teenaged son got it back in April. Said it was like a mild cold for him. No one else in their house caught it. He works in another state so I never came in contact. That’s the closest I’ve gotten to knowing someone with the virus.
My daughters have been going to daycare since day 1. Not a single teacher or student has caught it. Talked to all my friends with kids in daycare and they said the same. I think schools are safe, from the virus, but not from the indoctrination.
My wife, son and I had it in late Feb before the tests were out.
My hometown was hit early. The nursing home in the Seattle area where the first deaths were is owned by the same people as one here. Some mid management type must have brought it here from Seattle and infected the nursing home. I think 8 or nine died in the nursing home in my hometown.
My wife remembers being coughed on by a server at Applebee’s and a few days later we got sick. Mild fever for a few nights, chills for three or four days. Non productive dry cough that lasted over three weeks. My eyes hurt like I had flash run and then my shoulder joints and my jaw was in pain. I couldn’t lift my upper arms over my shoulders without quite a bit of pain and the joints clicking. Eating hurt like hell and I couldnt open my mouth more than about 3/4”.
My wife lost her sense of taste and smell. I felt really boogery and has a bit of a runny nose. It took six weeks for the joint pain to go away. My son has a little cough for two weeks and five nights of fever.
Didn’t die.
The day before we showed signs we had a birthday party for my boy. All the old people were there. Only five under 65. My dad said he had a bit of a cough, my SIL in her late twenties was kinda sick and my in-laws who have all sorts of health problems were just fine. They are also on the trump drug for their arthritis.
The husband of one of my wife’s friends recovered from the Vid. He has had a heart attack, smokes and isn’t in great shape. He said it was like a week of the flu and was back to normal in a couple weeks.
My generally healthy wife still thinks she is going to die if she gets the Vid.
I think we had it fairly hard compared to what I’ve read. The joint pain sucked.
Not as bad as West Nile. I had that shit in 2011 and it was terrible. Like the worst flu you have ever had plus the chicken pox and a month long brain fog.
Getting a little wasted, while writing a report that is waaayyy overdue. I’ve squandered the weekend. Wife is reheating the leftover wagyu tomahawk we got Friday night.
I’ve only got two more reports I’m waaayyy behind on. Oh, shit…
Make then put priority levels on all tasks.
Was that 1.0 on the priority list? No? Then STFU and make it so, or… well, STFU.
I’m at 85% on three different reports. Shit just got all slow/weird/whatever. I can knock them out Monday, Tuesday , Wednesday assuming nothing else fucking weird comes up. I need a vacation.
First day of training and I discover the joy of working for the Fed, ssssssslllllooooooooowwww,
Jesus, how can you do it for a career?
I think you’re supposed to watch porn while on the clock. At least, so I’m told by the MSM.
Sham as we call it in the Army.
Locked up?
Took PTO on Friday, drove down to Hilton Head. No beach restrictions like in Charleston area. It was packed. Surf was rough but fun.
Saturday I grilled a pork butt for 12 hours. And housework.
Today went to neighborhood pool.
Bunkering in for storm tomorrow though.
Stay dry.
Became a huge UFC fan about ten years ago. There’s been a long debate of grappling vs striking. Now, of course, all of the fighters are at a minimum competent in all facets. The left vs non left is matching up as one side incorporating various elements of fighting (just look at how the left’s attitude towards 2A has shifted) vs the other who is still fighting using Queensbury rules.
It’s like the non left thinks they will fight and ignore techniques that are beneath them. Gonna wait for it to go to the scorecards (the courts, elections) and hope the decision goes their way because they fought like “gentlemen”? The decision is always given to the side that inflicted more damage. Not sure what I’m proscribing, but I do see it as describing.
The left is willing to fight because they have the bulk of the media cheerleading and providing cover. The right, for the most part, knows that the second they fight back they will be portrayed as vicious thugs attacking innocents. As long as the left keeps the intensity below the level where the right becomes convinced that survival is at stake I expect it to continue in the same vein. I don’t think the violence plays well on main street, even with the media providing cover, but the questions that raises are 1. How much of an uncommitted middle is there anymore? 2. How much cheating can the left get away with? and 3. How much does any of this matter when the Republicans do nothing when they do win? The Democrats bainished their conservative wing years ago and the Republicans give an occassional conservative sound bite (usually on some god awful social issue like sex traficking) and do virtually nothing about cutting spending, reducing the size and scope of the government, or honoring the Constitutional limits. We have a party that tries to increase government control constantly and a party that sometimes doesn’t increase it, but never cuts it.
I used “non left” and not “conservative” or “republican” because if that is the only game in town, they will lose. As many here have pointed out, it’s the frog in boiling water. The longer this goes on, the more the memory of liberty fades. Waiting for that line the left crosses and goes to far? Might as well be waiting for Godot. *Spoiler*. He never comes.
The non left people are too obedient. I get grief from some folks here for not donning a face mask unless I’m asked to do so. They want to surrender too much.
OPEN POST ANARCHY

It’s good to be locked up at home.
Today was my lucky day! This afternoon we went to a benefit to help a small town bowling alley in the next county north of us. They’re struggling to stay in business because of the COVID restrictions, so a local military/cops/first responders motorcycle club organized this fundraiser. There were a bunch of gift baskets being raffled off, and I just found the voice mail telling me I’d won the basket I wanted most – a wine basket that includes a bottle of Walking Dead Wine! Yay me!
Good for you. Does it have a full body taste?
Sure hope so! Missed picking it up today, so I won’t be able to get it until Thursday. Will report back.
It’s a heady wine.
…and we didn’t have to wear masks while we were there! w00t!
I went south today to handle some things in germantucky. On the way there I was asked to procure some alcohol, so I stopped in the Speedway. Despite the scary MASKS REQUIRED sign on the door, not a single person in there had one on, and the staff had them around their necks.
Out driving around town, I spot one of those portable message boards on the side of the road, flashing POLICE OFFICERS WANTED
Ooh, I wonder what they did now, i’m thinking.
Next sign: XX PD IS HIRING!
Shit.
What does that shit pay? Do I get to snuff antifa for free? Where do I sign up? You know its bad when I’m siding with the fuzz.
It pays way too much. My town was once again the safest town in NJ in 2019, as it has been about every other year for as long as I can remember. Our heroes don’t have a lot to do.
“It pays way too much.”
That’s exactly what I’m looking for.
GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
No problem, unless there is some antifa on your lawn, then I want to shoot them and totally get away with it.
Become a cop and you’re more likely to be arresting people defending themselves from antifa.
*considers dressing up deer in antifa costumes*
“Become a cop and you’re more likely to be arresting people defending themselves from antifa.”
Reasons why I can probably never become a cop, I can’t do that.
No TikTok, No Watchee.
Ah, Chinese Hand Laundry. Haven’t seen one of those in decades.
Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
Ancient NYC staple. White shirts magically laundered to starched perfection. No ticker, no shirtee.
The idea of the president having the authority to ban a social media platform, foreign or not, seems unconstitutional to me. But I haven’t brushed up on the FYTW clause that judges use either.
Broccolitard has not been first in a very long time, proof positive that he’s totally gay.
You were born with a dick in your mouth. You’re so gay that even as a fetus you couldn’t resist the urge to suck dick and you killed your unborn twin doing it when you couldn’t stop.
That is an abortion of an insult.
You’re assuming that anyone takes Broketard seriously. No one does.
I didn’t even include the part where sucking his twins seed in the womb made him doubly gay when he was already so compulsively gay that he blew him to death.
He also forgot the part where Boketard is totally retarded.
Print is small, but maybe you can read it. Muh first cartoon.
https://ibb.co/qBpj8np
Nice! It took balls to post that. Unique style.
Most of the people who complain were never actually kicked in the balls to begin with and in many respects they enjoy special privileges. I give the cartoon a F.
That’s an Asian A. Thanks.
So, it counts if you ask a lady, “You want to Asian A around”?
Or, a guy, if you want–I’m just asking about communication.
*aims foot in Brochetta’s general direction*
Broccolitard totally wants you foot up his ass, cause he’s more gay than anyone, ever. He’s proved it by never being able to be first.
LEFT TO RIGHT! NOT TOP TO BOTTOM! Fucking ferner.
That’s about right.
I made a stab today at cleaning out and organizing my spare bedroom, where I keep all the gun stuff. It’s a fucking mess. My organizational skills are not great at the best of times, and I’ve been ignoring the clutter for three years.
I did find around 4000 pieces of processed .223 brass, another 2000 pieces that need to be processed, and an unopened 8# jug of Hodgdon CFE 223 powder. Might be time to set up the reloading press for .223, it’s not doing me much good as components.
I also found about $1500 worth of 3-gun shotshell holders that need to find a new home. This fucking game…
I think you have a problem.
Called Brochettaward
Crumple up a few small wads of foil and scatter them on the ground. It will become distracted and forget about pestering you. Sometimes you might put out a small sigh with an arrow pointing to the sky – it’s fun to watch him standing there looking up until he chokes on his own drool and passes out.
RICO….suave’!
Extortion is theft.
Being white is theft!
Charles Barkley defends sports players who refuse to kneel, and social media is melting down”He speaks for his white golf buddies” Oh, that’s why Jimmy Kimmel’s Black Face was OK.
“The group demands business have ‘a minimum of 23% inventory of Black retailers OR make a recurring monthly donation of 1.5% of net sales to Black local organizations’
How about you go fuck yourself. That’s my best offer.
I must admit to having seen him perform. I was in the seventh grade and did not know any better.
I wonder what the rapper Pitbull would have to say. He’s Cuban, but made all his money in hip-hop music….
Fernando Martinez is one of the best fucking chefs in the universe. Every restaurant he opens is gold.
Mess with him and you totally piss me off.
I really do hope that RICO/similar legislation can be brought against these bitches.
This, is Awesome! BARP!

Well friends, my beer is gone. And so I will leave with two of the most wholesome things I can think of:

Aww, geeze….you hadda go there?
What’s so bad about it? He’s together with his wife and best friend forever. They all become beautiful trees. It’s a better afterlife than some of the ones I’ve read of.
Not that it’s bad, but, sad.
Also:
But…..trees aren’t eternal. o_0
He’ll get to warm someone’s cabin or be a nice piece of furniture someday.
Aww, geeeze….
Oh, so now you want afterlife to be *eternal*?
Some people are never happy.
Fine, here’s a sappy movie for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMBG_-0zjEg

Devan?! What the hell is that? Fine, have a Devo hat. Close enough.

Hey, kids–SEEK POWER!
Mattel dropped the nap on the new MLP designs. Just sayin.
Ball. Damn my big thumbs.
So you are Uma Thurman?
Thats really not a bad movie.
Well that’s two of us that have seen that flick! Short Cans and Big Thumbs represent!
I’d like to think my feet are a bit more attractive than hers are.
Anyone still up and about? I’m treating this like a Saturday. Yes, I will regreteth this come the ‘Morn…
Just can’t get enough of the weekend, eh?
Tomorrow is a Stat. I’ll work it like a regular and get double-time and a half. Wheeee!
#MakinBank
I’m in the best time zone so yeah I’m still up
And working. Tomorrow is my Friday.
I would treat it like a Saturday, but I depleted all my alcohol last night (I don’t need the extra calories anyway).
Spent most of the evening putting together an IKEA bed. Now I’m exhausted and having a cup of midnight coffee to help me through the last four hours until my customary bedtime.
It’s my birthday. 18,615 revolutions of the Earth. 51 laps around Sol. I’ve learned many, many things. The most important thing I’ve learned is that I would sell my soul to be 35. Literally.
Happy BD, Denver! I’d dial that chronometer back to 25, though. Ah Christ, to be able to run like the wind…
22
Mine is 2 weeks, so….yeah.
Oh, right! Happy Continued Living Day
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday. Id take anything from 24-28. But Im not picky- I could be 35 again and not complain too much.
Nope. I’d crack a beer. Good Lord how time flies.
Fuck it, I’m going Cylon, +10000
Plus you get to mate with 6 of 9!
That is the spirit!
Also–hate to include you in this, but, I never have gotten in touch with Toxteth
Reminds me of a “would you rather” I got the other day. Would you start over at 10 and retain the knowledge you have, or be guaranteed to have $25 million in the bank by 55.
I’d take 10 with the knowledge dump everything I had into Apple which was around $1 a share when I turned 18. Along with creating Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, making them the open free speech platforms they deserve to be.
10. If had only followed my own advice.
Buy Apple
Buy gold.
I’d marry my childhood sweetheart and never start drinking. What? Too soon?
The $. Definitely. Otherwise, I’d have to change far too many things I know about, and possibly make things worse.
Not sure what the second one’s requirements, but no fucking way am I doing middle and high school over again. Once was enough. I’d punch out first before getting dragged back.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Spend it on East Colfax.
Happy birthday, DenverJ! 🙂

Watching the Critical Drinker retrospective on The Watchmen movie reminded me that now I that I have some extra money I can finally buy the collection of Steve Ditko’s original Question stories, so off to Amazon I went. (Rorschach was based on Ditko’s Question, meant as an insult, and it pisses Moore off that people like the character)
Poor Moore. Funny how, when you don’t understand the thing you’re criticizing, your satire/insult fails.
He’s kinda sketchy/pervy anyway.
Worshiping a snake god, simply because you find it a larf, would seem to confirm that.
Since Chafed doesn’t seem to be around tonight I’ll admit to being Glib-unfit today. I ate half a stick of butter and most of a medium-ish loaf of bread today.
That is THE carb life! Damn, that sounds yummy.
https://youtu.be/CIDDEIWhuRU
*blushes* Thanks Festus, I’ll eat you last.
I’ll have you know Festus is no French loaf!
He may be crusty around the edges, but….not bread.
I’ll just butter him up. Butter is like bacon, it makes everything better.

And, here I was, making a fart joke.
apparently my mind is someplace else.
Farts get an “excuse me” (if you have to own up to them), “pardon me” is for when you don’t hear something.
Oh, you’re too fancy–“what?” if I didn’t hear/understand.
I did struggle a bit with which one to use (excuse v pardon).
Now, as far as your mind….well, I don’t know how to finish that sentence.

I hear that can pay well–defending a politician. Also helps show their hypocrisy. Not that I recommend it.

Mine is “Ken” which from the Gaelic means “I know”.
Robert, Olde English for Wise king, Ya know? Ken?
Interesting fact about Ken
huh, just checked, my middle name means ‘The Old Servant’.
O, O, O, Old Man!, Come quick!
Some people,
aren’t insane,
I’m proud to not be,
one of them,
stuck out from the crowd,
no one liked me,
but now they all do,
how about you?
Everybody likes me, superficially. Nobody knows about my deepest darkest urges.
That’s a poem by the way in case anyone is tempted to call the NSA…
Oh, I’m quite insane, hat’s how I hide it,
I need to quit drinking beer,
I have to get out of here,
I need to to my Bed,
But i’ll stay here instead,
Take glibs to bed with you. It’s kinda like Take you Kids to Work Day….but, not really.

I pulled the Constitution card , today, and got an Amen, for real, when I took the oath, she was amazed I already knew it, good times!
You know how you form a mental picture of someone you haven’t met from what they talk about, multiply that by how many ever people comment here, get a really big bed and put them all on it. It’s an interesting picture.
That’s gross,
and smelly
Gross….but, interesting implications.
Just sayin’….
After Glib-Chat, sure. Some of us are pretty!
Oh….thank you!
When I’m done I’m going to make an omelette and hit the hay. I’m like Barney. I make a mean omelette.
Dammit! I’m hungry! 5 am wake up, no time for tasty Eggs!
In a former life I was short-order cook. It was kinda my task to cook breakfast for my friends after a night out on the town.
Lotta Good it does me now, you’re not even an Orphan!
I like throwing a party and making a nice Mexican meal for a group of people. I’ve had a number of them tell me I should open a restaurant. While I appreciate the sentiment I know they don’t know the difference between make dinner for 12 – 60 – or 240 Those are each very different skill sets, especially if you have to cater to individual requests.
I’ve thought about opening a restaurant, but I’m no good at logistics. In my video business there was even one time I did a job for free simply because I couldn’t be arsed to send an invoice. I tried figuring what would be the profitable price point to sell my family’s BBQ sauce at, and that was too much for me. I’m one of those outliers, an artistic (and most likely autistic) right-winger.
Just an FYI, not that anyone but Digby will see this, but the cartoon will be late this month, cuz I’m waiting to see how Biden’s VP pick shakes out this week.
i see you
I see you both, friends.
We’ll suffer for your art.
Well make an episode for each choice and release the correct one
Or do a choose your own adventure book/cartoon.
“Or do a choose your own adventure book/cartoon.”
You mean my Life?
Both of these, are, of course, the correct answer.
Choose-Your-Own does sound quite awesome for H&H, though.
I did see youtube now allows for chapter skipping in videos. I don’t know how to do it yet, but the latest RLM video had it.
How’s work going?
He may be too beer’d to respond. Or, busy with other sites (perish the thot).
Is he cheating on us?!
It’s still there, so there’s that. Best one can ask in these retarded times.

Are you opening an Apple I-store?
/sorry–couldn’t resist
Are they that ridiculous?
Eh…more like they have a rep for trying to be futuristic (at least in some locations).
Not being much of an Apple fan, it was a quick shot in their direction. I could imagine a rave-ish thing happening in one.
One thing that sure has come through strong recently – just when you thought this world couldn’t get any weirder… it does.
I never think the world can’t get any weirder
I guess seeing the entire political system you grew up under getting ripped away in a couple months would prepare you for just about anything.
“Eh…more like they have a rep for trying to be futuristic (at least in some locations).”
That’s the interior of my Ship, still waiting on parts, hope they come in Before Pie takes over the world,
/they will win, Run!
Hmmm….it is known. Still, it looks comfy AND groovy.
Tis a High place, Cheers!
Stupid me. Little-not-brother woke me up with a text asking he could spend the night here, I groggily responded ‘sure’ and went back to sleep. He’s been asleep for the last 2 days only waking up to eat my food…and he’s got some woman in there with him. They have to be on some fucking drugs. He hasn’t even been awake long enough for me to confront him about it.
Sounds like my Son, kick him out now, save the troubles,
Gah! Wifey was freaking out about her first-born last week and she finally tracked him down at a flea-bag motel called (I shit you not) Knight’s Inn. Fuck it. Start writing an obit.
Knight’s Inn is a fairly big chain, and I b-
Oh, right–not the point.
Tweekers suck,
Crack-heads too.
……….Is he sharing?
Sorry, sorry–just
hopinga little levity. Protect your shit, man. If you don’t know her, no tellin’ what might be coming down the pike. I will echo Yu’s advice, but, you know the situation better than us.I don’t know the situation at all, I’m just too midwest nice to wake him up and kick him out of the house.
I knew you were a softy. Not to me, obviously. But, still.
😉
I’m Canadian nice so I’ll just apologize up front for being so blunt. That kid is poisoning your happiness. You either get the paddle or wield the paddle.
I’d have to have some happiness for him to poison it.
Hey–you bought some cool shit this year. Don’t let them abscond.
I guess I’m lucky my older sister kicked the drugs and became christian years ago before she totally lost all her sense.
She still lost all her sense and required financial help from time to time but at least she didn’t waste her life on drugs and most of her kids grew up, moved out, and seeing her example became self-sufficient.
That’s good to hear! Everyone I knew that fell into it is either dead or Fubar. My brother lives on disability.
Everybody I knew who was smoking dope in high school has been dead for 30 years or more. It wasn’t pot per se, just the lifestyle of the time and place which quickly lead to other things. Where I’m from people who were doing pot at 16 in the mid 70’s were doing coke at 20 in the early 80’s.
Some of them were done in by the drugs. Others got into importing/dealing and just disappeared. One guy kicked the drugs – but hadn’t been sober a full day since he was 13 and ended up drinking himself to death.
live fast die young or something like that… although many people do not leave behind a good looking corpse…
Then again I don’t know a single person on hard drugs… My uncle ruined his life the old school way with lots of cheap booze
90% of the people I grew up with had cousins on the other side of the border a few miles away. When they started smoking dope it was a hell of a lot cheaper for them to get their stash from a cousin than to buy stuff in the US.
Pretty soon some of them started bringing up more than they needed – selling it in the US made it a better deal than paying for it. One guy even bought his own house by the time he was 21.
It took a few disappearances before people realized that there were bigger fish in the market where they had been buying their product.
Unfortunately, sometimes, the purpose of your life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
That said, Festus is right.
Sis still has the one living with her who is baby-mama to some dude – I doubt she knows which one. Not sure what’s happening to them when my sis is no longer around. B-I-L is a low-level computer jockey – the kind every small/medium business needs so at least he has always been employed. But both sis and B-I-L are getting up in years and I’d be highly surprised if they have as much as $1,000 in savings.
It’s not my own self-indulgence that lead me here. I blame Society, Man! Seriously though, there were plenty of easy decisions that I could have made that would have brokered a brighter future for myself and my found family. I just didn’t take anything at face value until it was too fucking late. I didn’t take my own life seriously so here we are.
Oh, F a bunch of that noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnUPlAS2wtw
/OK, some are just funny…still.
Traffic was terrble [intended/Barkley] today. I went down to one of the local cities, the road down had a traffic jam. In my entire life that has never happened on that road. Everyone was driving nuts, rain so hard I started to hydroplane once because my tires are shit. I haven’t checked recently, but when ‘rona shut down started traffic deaths were on an upward trend, I’d guess they still are given today.
I talked to my older sister on Friday about taking her kids to a museum on Saturday. She was OK with it. Showed up on Saturday to pick the kids up, and as they were getting ready she changed her mind, they might catch the Rona. So instead brought them to my house to play with all my cool toys and all they did was play on their tablet and watch TV, because that’s all they’ve done for the last 4 months.
You overwhelmed them with choices.
One time I asked my nephew, ‘You love playing with toys when you come here, how come you aren’t ever playing with your toys when I visit your house?’ ‘Our toys aren’t as fun.’ He said while playing with a one armed Wonder Woman from 1983.
Get him a Wooly Willy (ewww), and watch him go apey.
Summer vacation in the RV we borrowed from my aunt. MEmORIES.
Borrowed…or, “borrowed”?
It’s the same aunt I still take care of, so it must not have been an offense.
You’re holding her hostage in the RV, aren’t you?
tsk tsk tsk…
Shoosh!
I haven’t been a total failure but my success rate is abysmal. Three of the four Step-kids are wealthy or at least working toward it. Wifey still loves me. I’m good with animals and babies.
Wait, how is a 3 out of 4 success rate a failure?
I didn’t list the failings, Friend…
Ah, I forgot you work for the government.
I work AT the government. About ten bucks an hour difference.
Whatever helps you sleep at
nightday friendo.* larf*
Seriously–Fes doesn’t sleep.
Yeah yeah yeah, you used to say the same thing about me. Now I don’t feel special.
How about ‘tardy’? Do you feel tardy?
Tardish.
Creative geniuses usually do. Well, until they get a whiff of their own musk.
Mojo and I have discussed this issue before. Insomnia is no laughing matter.
Link that has no connection to me.
It can be, when you spend your time with glibs!
/Yeah, no.
Since I was meant to be moved out last Friday, SiL just pawned her kids off on wifey. Our two bedroom house, which has half the living room full of my boxed worldly goods and the recliner upon which I’ve been sleeping, is now brightened by the addition of 6 ((ultra-orthodox Lubavitch kids)) ranging from 19 to 8. Yay!
So, you’ve already ‘pulled the trigger’ with her, I take it? Also, is 19 not an adult age for Lubavitch offspring? A daughter, maybe?
No, she pulled some other guy’s trigger. (sorry Lobot, I just couldn’t pass that joke up).
19… I’m not saying you should take advice from pornos, but…
should have linked this.
Bow-chicka-wow -wow
LOL… no, they all look like this.

That’s a great headline.

Well, that’ll learn him to wear a mask!
Mornin’ Glibs.
I think I might actually have gotten some sleep last night.
It’s surreal.
Mornin’, UCS. Any weird dreams?
Not that I recall.
While awake prior to falling asleep, I did have a story idea that I wanted to bounce off someone because it would mean changes to a popular character in the Tarnished Sterling books, but just discussing it involves spoilers for Shadowboy.
…which I’ve read. (And Shadowdemon.) Just sayin’.
Ever get around to Lucid Blue or Shadowrealm? The idea doesn’t involve spoilers for either,
I would like very much to read them. Are they out there anywhere in EPUB form?
Not currently. Though the same inDesign file used to create the print version can spit out one in a few clicks.
::wants to ask, but doesn’t want to ask…::
I’m sure we can work something out.
I thought I read them in the Omnibus?
Amazon’s format is .mobi but GT is reading in a Nook
Got it.
She could read them on her PC, I guess.
(I know – that is a sucky proposition.)
I’ve sent you the idea in an email along with my main concern about the story.
Just found it. Will peruse and respond ASAP (but not until after work. Gotta fly.)
Fuck This
The King’s men have special privileges. News at 11.
Just… wow.
Famous people get big funerals, others get chucked in the ground with a handful around. You don’t matter unless you’re one of them but at least they used to hide that.
They got about as much done that’s useful to their constituents as they do when they’re sitting in a congressional session. Even if they gave their pewmates COVID, they were probably doing less damage than they usually do in DC.
If they gave their pewmates COVID, that would be the first actual public service of their careers.
Autocorrect tried changing pewmates to primates. AI is getting scary good.
(Duh. Meant as reply to ‘sloper. I claim insufficient caffeination.)
Objection sustained.
I was so excited about going to work today, I couldn’t sleep past 2am.
Ooh! You must have a thrilling job!
Today I have to process our biweekly payroll AND start on month-end reports. And I believe we have (at least) two new employees starting, so I may have to enter their I-9 info into the payroll system and make sure their data migrates over into the timekeeping system to complete their setup. All after running around to take everyone’s temperature. (Fortunately only 13 of us currently working in the building.)
We temperature checkers should start a union!
Temperature checkers union:

I’ll be joining the mask enforcement union.
Huh. I just get to do a mid-probation report on my direct report who had almost a week and a half in the office before we started working from home.
Here’s a shocker. Local resident writes a sensible letter to local rag WRT whining teachers. That’s not shocking. The fact that it was pubished is the head-scratcher.

“Children need to be in a classroom to learn.”

Good point. Schooling is what happens inside a classroom. Education happens everywhere if you pay attention.

Fun article.
LOL:
How did he lose his left arm again?
There’s a link to the followup story.
It’s so Florida.
Sheriff Grady Judd said Apgar will be charged with trespassing and exposure of a sexual organ.
The gator was charged for solicitation?
Who the hell would feed an alligator?
Oh, Florida. Carry on.
