Me, today.
Bad news for me and bad news for my Dad. I shan’t bore you with the details, but I want to warn you in case I come across as grumpy…it is because I am.
Of course, once you look at the links, you too, may become a bit cheesed off. Here, take a look:
- Haiti remains a source of damned foolishness, misery and just plain WTF.
- I don’t get to play rugby anymore…so…hey, touch?! Never mind. That is a BS record.
- I loathe grifters.
- Speaking of @$$holes and money. Maybe their next flavor could be “Rocket Raspberry” or “Jihad Jam”.
Screw it.
UPDATE: The hits keep on coming. Mrs. Swiss doesn’t just have a torn meniscus – her ACL is f’d up too! Whee!
UPDATE 2: The house AC is acting up, and I got a recall notice on my car… “may burst into flames, even if off!” SMDH.
Hope your dad is OK
Ditto that.
Me too. :-/
Thank you, but he is not.
Sorry, Swiss.
You will both be in my thoughts.
I am sorry to hear that. My father and three of my cousins are 80+. They are some of my favorite people in the world but I know they won’t be around much longer. You know it is coming and you think you are ready but you never are. It always knocks you down no matter how ready you think you are.
I wish sometimes a bus would hit me first, as selfish as that is, but damn.
Sorry, Swiss 🙁
I’m so sorry to hear this, Swiss.
I’m sorry to hear about your father, Swiss.
Thoughts and prayers.
Sorry Swiss. You and him have my thoughts and prayers.
My sympathies.
Best wishes, Swiss.
Sorry to hear that, Swiss. Let us know if there’s anything we can do.
Unless you are a vascular surgeon, I will take prayers in lieu of that.
I can only iterate and re-iterate what all the others have said. I will tell you with all sincerity that old people are way better prepared for what comes next than their family. I just visited my oldest best friend, we disagreed on the corona but we know and talk about our preparations for the grand finale.
Be thankful for the memories. The suddenness will come as a surprise to all but one. I’m glad you have had your father this long, my Dad’s been gone 52 years and I still miss him. Every year he sits with me in my deer stand and I have time to remember the “Old Days”. Your Dad will be you too, I’m sure of it…
Dad is a retired doc. They make the worst patients.
So sorry for you and your family, thoughts and prayers to you.

Sorry, man. I will offer my version of prayers and try to refrain from making puns this post. Try!
Sorry also Swiss.
Brits being antisemitic? Surely you jest!
In the dead thread, there was a link to an article on landscape planting and male trees.
I planted 13 Autumn Blaze maples about 15 years ago. They are a cross between red and white maples (which produce the little helicopter seeds). The hybrid maple is sterile — so no seeds.
Except this year, every tree produced copious amounts of little red helicopter seeds. And it looks like one of them has sprouted a tree where I don’t need a tree.
I am tempted to dig it up and plant it somewhere else to see what it grows into.
I watered my little apple trees yesterday, we got about a 1/10 of rain today. I have about 10 little ones I’m thinking of planting , I’ve got my shovel in the trailer but I’m not sure how well the hole digging is going to go. Maybe I’ll try tomorrow. I raised them from apple seeds so nothing lost.
You must have a girl tree mixed in that bunch, they may grow big so put away from the buildings but you already know that.
Sorry about your dad, wish I could offer more than good wishes.
Likewise.
Grumpy? Everyone gets a pass on having a grumpy day. Relax, we understand. Trust me, I understand completely.
Haiti: Slave revolt tossed the French out. I dont think a single person left in the country after that could read or write. They kind of got off to a bad start, but at least they were free.
I hate that bitch. In 50 years no one will remember her name, so, whatever.
No one seems to ever point out why the Israelis are there. Fuck’em. *takes a bite of Bluebell Black Walnut ice cream.*
They literally killed every white person on their half of the island in 1804.
Will Ben and Jerry stop peddling ice cream to occupied Prussia?
They better.
Well, they killed the vast majority of whites. Some non-French settlers were spared when they essentially agreed to identify as black, along with some women who agreed to marry black men. Plus some people escaped from Haiti.
The killing didn’t happen in any given city until the leader of the revolution appeared in person and ordered the soldiers to carry out the orders they had ignored in his absence.
Interesting, any good links on that part of the revolution?
Wikipedia:
By the end of April 1804, some 3,000 to 5,000 people had been killed[23] and the white Haitians were practically eradicated, excluding a select group of whites who were given amnesty. The spared consisted of the Polish ex-soldiers who were given Haitian citizenship; a small group of German colonists invited to the north-west region before the revolution; and a group of medical doctors and professionals.[15] Reportedly, also people with connections to officers in the Haitian army were spared, as well as the women who agreed to marry non-white men.[23]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804_Haiti_massacre
That’s a hell of a way to get voted off the island.
In 50 years no one will remember her name, so, whatever.
Provided she doesn’t flame out in some career-ending debacle, I think she (or someone very much like her) is the future of the Dem party. Unless the whole party implodes, I see her as being on the shortlist for a Presidential ticket.
It is hard to see how they could do worse than Biden but now that you say that I remember “It can always get worse”.
Ben & Jerry’s is a fucking joke. You really need to be some special kind of asshole has to make ice cream sales political. I guess they’ve been doing stuff like this for ages, so it’s on brand. For me, no thanks.
After Unilever bought them, I thought that crap would stop.
And yet other brands that were previously “unwoke” have no problem going woke.
Here’s looking at you Gillette!
Part of the purchase agreement was a hands off with an independent board that allows that sort of thing to fester.
If anything, it’s getting worse.
I don’t get it. Per wikipedia, they have a factory in Israel. And they’re owned by Unilever anyway.
Playing both sides – double the money!
Yep, they have been doing this forever. Like many they think they are far more important than they are.
“Cemeteries are filled with indispensable men.” – Mark Twain? Charles De Gaulle? Meh, it is attributed too many.
They was woke before anyone else thought to call it that.

Remember a year ago when Biden was telling us how everything would calm down working families would be so prosperous after he was elected.
Inflation doesn’t occur when the price of certain goods rise. Inflation occurs when fiat money is created out of thin air, devaluing the existing money supply.
If the Dems ram thru this multi-trillion dollar spending bill, it will further devalue the currency and cause inflation. Anyone “economist” who says the cause will decouple from the effects and no inflation will occur is a partisan hack.
Exactly. ‘Inflation’ refers to inflating the supply of money, not rises in prices. One is cause, the other, effect.
Spending another $4T will actually reduce inflation by some magic means:
Paid leave erodes productivity. While the workforce will expand to employ all the child and elder care workers now being paid indirectly by the federal government, that won’t enhance productivity, either. The only possible source of increased productivity is the people who enter the workforce only because they can now get subsidized child and elder care. I don’t know how many that would be (and neither does the author), but I posit that they are marginal workers anyway (because they won’t work unless someone picks up some of their expenses), and are unlikely to be hard-charging, productive employees.
Besides, only a fraction of the trillions is going to go to subsidizing child and elder care workers.
“Paid leave erodes productivity.”
This. Over and over. We’re actively destroying actual wealth production while bumping the money supply. They’re pumping inflation from both ends.
Just like Winston’s mom.
That may be true, but you sure can’t tell it based on monetary theory. Turns out the velocity of money isn’t anywhere near as rigid as that assumes. That said, we are in uncharted waters.
Te: the previous post on a gorilla harem society, and post menopausal women:
I’m guessing the dominant males would snarf up the females of breeding age, leaving a lot of horny beta males. So the remaining females would likely choose mates among the beta males, and some would choose a lot of mates, recreating prostitution.
Or the males would bang younger males…
Either way, this sounds a lot like much of the Muslim world.
Hey, now…
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…. As long as it’s consensual and nobody gets chucked off a roof.

What do gorillas do? I thought they kept the older females around to help raise the kids?
“Bad news for me and bad news for my Dad.”
Sorry, about whatever it is.
“Haiti remains a source of damned foolishness, misery and just plain WTF.”
It’s been that way for a long time. Which is sad, because most of the Haitians I’ve known were wonderful people.
Which is why I always tell people that kindness is very overrated as a virtue. As lovely as it is to kind and giving to others in your personal life, it leads to horrible damage and destruction if left unchecked. Some of the nicest people I know have produced absolute wreckage by abetting bad behavior, excusing laziness, and refusing to tell people “no”, even when it’s clear that would be best for them.
You write that into politics and you’re screwed.
Hope things get better for your Dad, Swiss.

COVID-19 vaccines are so effective…
From the UK:
Must be that new strain. Better lock down again until we get a vaccine for it. /kidding (but not really)
Why not, Texas could use another congressional district in 2030.
I cant understand why anyone would take that vaccine.
“Sixty percent of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, the government’s chief scientific adviser has said.
Earlier, Sir Patrick Vallance told a news briefing that figure was for double-jabbed people. But he later corrected himself on Twitter, saying the original statistic was false.
He posted: “Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference today, 19 July.
“About 60% of hospitalisations from COVID are not from double-vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from COVID are currently from unvaccinated people.””
60/40 or 40/60. Either way, not good #s.
That’s a pretty serious “whoops”.
They can’t keep their lies straight.
And how many people is that, compared to the pre-vax numbers?
They are calling these “breakthrough” infections, as in they break through the impregnable wall of vaccination.
Not only that its sniffles all the way down unless of course you have a comorbidity which is still one of the driving factors of hurrying along a death and as RC alluded to, compared to pre-vax numbers?….hang on a sec, I reek of the bullshit I just stepped into.
Sorry to hear about your Dad, Swiss.

“Epstein’s disgraced Wall St. pal Leon Black, 69, admits to affair with Russian model, 38, but denies rape: Tycoon claims he lavished millions on her – including Steinway piano – and offered her $100k-a-month for 15 years to buy her silence ”

There is a certain segment of society that is so scummy they are beyond words.
If he offered, she wasn’t extorting him – they were just negotiating.
“Black said he and Ganieva had engaged in a consensual affair starting in 2008 until 2015 – when he claims she extorted him by threatening to take their relationship public if he did not pay her $100million.
While he did not meet her initial demand, in exchange for her silence Black said he agreed to forgive $1million in loans he made to her, and to make $100,000 monthly payments for 15 years.”

For what?
Trash.
His money, her favors, has nothing to do with me, let me think… yeah I’m not gumming up my Woodchippinator 5000 for that.
So his reputation was going to take a hit, or did she have more serious dirt on him?
She asked for $100 mil? Holy fuck, someone has an overinflated opinion of their worth.
19mil for seven years already puts this chica in the international gold-diggers hall of fame…
She forgot the golden rule of golddigging.
Never ask for more than what it costs to hire a hitman.
$5000.00?
*AHEM* Non-cop hitman.
Apparently high-class, too. She extorted a Steinway? Wouldn’t most hookers settle for a big pile of blow?
The Steinway was to snort the blow off of.

“Capitol rioter, 38, is jailed for EIGHT MONTHS in first felony sentence that could set the bar for hundreds of other defendants
Prosecutors had asked for Hodgkins to serve 18 months behind bars, saying in a recent filing that he, ‘like each rioter, contributed to the collective threat to democracy’ by forcing lawmakers to temporarily abandon their certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over President Donald Trump and to scramble for shelter from incoming mobs.
Assistant US Attorney Mona Sedky said that, while Hodgkins didn’t engage in violence himself, he walked among many who did — in what she called ‘the ransacking of the People’s House.” And as he walked by smashed police barriers, he could see the smoke of tear gas and the chaos ahead of him.”

Trump should have pardoned them.
8 months for that is insane.
Everything about the last 5 years is insane.
That is an overly-long sentence for what he did.
while Hodgkins didn’t engage in violence himself, he walked among many who did…
So, we’re doing guilt by association now.
They are trying to get these people to plead out.
Eight months for walking in a public building. I read that most of them even stayed inside the velvet ropes.
He’s lucky he didn’t get Accessory to Murder. After all, a cop was forced to murder one of his trespassing compatriots so he’s guilty of contributing to that situation.
Ten bucks to a hole in a donut they threatened him with that to get him to plead.
I will guarantee he was threatened in order to incentivize a plea. He did it to get out. They know that most of them will accept these bogus charges just to get around the no-bail/20 years sentences they are being threatened with. Harsh contrast to the lowlife antifa scum and their dropped charges. They tried to burn people alive, but they did it to benefit commies.
That or stay in solitary confinement with daily beatings.
Yet, our press, the ACLU, etc. is almost completely silent.

Yeaaaah. Everything that comes out of the left is comparable to the gibberish I heard on Unit 7 at the crazy hospital. I think it is by design.
It seems to be lowering the prices of stocks. 🙁
I think that’s called stagflation
Hellllooooo seventies
Don’t worry, the Fed has plenty of tools left. I mean, they can easily lower interest rates to deal with the stagnation…wait, already as low as they can go huh.
Okay, they can raise interest rates to deal with the inflation. Oh, already too late to “get out ahead” of inflation and the effect on the overly leveraged Government budget would cause a virtual implosion of the economy.
Well, fuck. Guess the plan is to just pretend everything is fine and hope everyone at the Fed is out of office before it really gets bad.
Negative interest rates, coming our way! Every day, the Fed takes just a little bit out of every account in the country. For great prosperity!
I’m going to need a bigger mattress.
The punchline: negative interest rates will not only impair capital formation by directly removing, well, capital.
They will also increase the velocity of money by incentivizing people to spend their savings, which not only impairs capital formation, it, wait for it, drive inflation!
Yeah, the Fed is fucked. They painted themselves into a corner. Increasing interest rates, a traditional remedy for inflation, will devalue all the low interest debt that is held in bank, insurance company, etc. portfolios and increase the government’s cost of borrowing, forcing it to borrow more (which is what is driving inflation). The relatively untried strategy of negative interest rates is perhaps more overtly deflationary, but, see above.
I believe the Fed is planning to try and inflate away the current debt. Because inflation is so easily controlled. I saw an article (can’t find it now) applying the old method of calculating price inflation, and it spit out numbers in the 15% range. They can publish all the “headline inflation” numbers they want, the map is not the territory. Inflation is what it is, and it ain’t low.
What we’re seeing the the argument against MMT in real time. MMT likes to say pretend that the limits it places on money printing, that as long as there is slack in the economy it won’t be inflationary, is a very limited condition. The fact is it is a very strict limitation, because you end up in a place like we are now. It doesn’t matter if there is slack or not, the deficit spending combined with the loose monetary policy since 2008 has locked the Fed in and it no longer has any options on what to do. It pretends like it is still in control, but our Monetary sovereignty is lost and the people behind it are just praying they aren’t the ones who pay for it.
the limits it places on money printing, that as long as there is slack in the economy it won’t be inflationary, is a very limited condition

After 20-ish years my flip phone died, so I finally broke down and bought a smart phone. It may be the worst thing I’ve ever bought. I did manage to go months without any cell phone at all. People get angry when they can’t contact you 24-7.
You can still get flip phones.
Not at the Verizon store, apparently.
Well, wearing the same pants they can get unangry. I hate my Iphone and rarely have it with me.
Why the hate? I was a late adopter and only have an 8, but I don’t mind it.
Of course, I can’t compare it to any other smart phone, but it functions fine.

No town in Massachusetts was more into wearing masks–outdoors!–than Provincetown. Their vaccination rate is above 100% (see below). But the cases are rising, so it’s time to put masks on again.

Mind you from the article I read he was fairly unapologetic in the interview for the behavior.
And the underlying actions are pretty heinous. But he’s also now saying it’s not true or not entirely true. Youthful posturing? He was only in his twenties then and a relatively new celebrity. If he had said the same things in the same way last month or even last year, that would be different.
Heinous for a teenager that is, without being a school shooter or a serial killer.
Yup. That’s the crux of the issue here.
He added he has felt guilty about it for a long time and that he hopes to contact the people he bullied to issue a personal apology.
Probably a good idea.
Hey! He could turn the process into a TV show! ?

Rope – OK, I got nuthin’.
He’s into kinky sex?

I thought of those was well but the article did not mention if his defense brought them up. We are officially a banana republic and they now prosecute those with wrong think who make the dumb decision to be in places where they can prosecute you for being there.
And ya ya ya, there were people who banged up a couple guys in blue but that is not what that guy is being prosecuted for. He had rope, goggles and gloves in his backpack and is going to prison for it. Maybe the judge watches too many movies. Come to think of it, I have all three of those things in the car and you would never catch me at a protest. Sometimes normal people have that stuff.
I can think of very few times in my life when I wasn’t within walking, if not reaching, distance of rope of some kind. I did, prior to the Chi-Com-Pox induced price spikes, use latex gloves all the time. They’re great for battering/breading, handling raw meats, and working sticky doughs without having to spend 5 minutes scrubbing up in the sink every time you need to switch tasks.
I’ve mentioned this before; a defining element of the Weimar Era was disparate treatment under law. Both the International Socialists and the National Socialists were busying themselves committing roughly the same violent acts but, to the very conservative German court system, the leftist freikorps were seen as murderous terrorists and had the book thrown at them with multi-year sentences, while the rightist freikorps were seen as playful youth up to monkeyshines who sometimes had to resort to violence to defend the nation. IIRC, this situation did not end well.
I got nuthin’ on the Tucson shootings yesterday. Other than the usual suspects in the anti-gun community are planning to use this fresh pile of corpses in their traditional rituals. Unfortunately, Tucson being a college town and the home of Gabby Giffirds, her anti-gun foundation, and her gun-grabbing Senator husband, this is tailor-made for them.
It didn’t make my local news. What happened?
Saw the update just now Switzy. ? Good gravy, hang in there.
OMG!
Not been the best day I have had.
Sorry to learn the news. I hope you will be okay Swiss.
Same!
Doordash fucked up The Bro’s order. The Bro is not happy! The Bro is only going to give 4 stars on this one.
This is how they treat people who insist on being first.
LEARN.
TO.
COOK!
Adding to our too-short list of women who have made some sort of deal with Satan:
Paulina Porizkova.Paulina Porizkova.
Not good enough for Ric Ocasek, not good enough for me.
He dead. He might still be alive if he was banging that.
It’s magic.
Dark magic. Unspeakable woodcraft.
I’m not correcting that autocorrect.
Nor should you. OMG she is hot.
Yeah I guess she’s kinda hot but arthritis is a deal-breaker 😉
Swiss, I’m sorry to hear about the bad news.
Sorry Swiss. I hope the week gets better
Wishing good news coming your way very very soon, Swiss and family.
Best wishes to your dad, Swissy.
I just tried to piss shoot a fly off my toilet bowl and pissed on my foot. Worth it.
Aim is the first thing to go. Sorry to hear about your impending decline, enjoy Matlock and dinner at 4:30pm.
In the Netherlands they often have a little fly painted on the enamel of the urinals just to the right of the drain. Helps with aim and concentration. The janitors have an easier job.
I need Festus to confirm this.
Been there. Can confirm.
Grandmom died peacefully during her afternoon nap yesterday. She was 97. I’m happy to say she was conscious and mobile until the last few days, and had her son nearby when she slipped away. It’s the only time I’ve heard dad overcome with emotion—he had to end the call almost as soon as he told me—but he’s holding up. I’ll be a mess when he goes. Best wishes, Swiss.
So sorry.
I am so sorry, CS.
Sorry to hear this, cs
I’m very sorry, CS.
Sorry to hear this.
Sorry to read.
CS – Very sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear that. It sounds like it went as well as possible.
Sorry. That’s never easy.
Sorry 🙁
I’m sorry to hear of your loss, but it sounds like at least she had a good run, and didn’t suffer…all we can ask for in this life.
My condolences, cs.
I’m sure a strongly-worded letter is in order.
[insert shocked face here]
Will the letter start with; Dear Joe, we are disappointed with your failure to prevent accusations being directed towards China….
More like, ” Well, your country is a racist hell hole, by your own admission. Don’t even think about pointing out our flaws!”
Have a nut-punch while we’re lecturing France about its authoritarianism.
Hoosier daddy?
Unbelievable, take the nonFDA approved shot or you’re essentially expelled. What a load of bullshit, the judiciary isn’t going to save us.
“Start your own university.”
I think the judge should be forcibly treated with a number of experimental medical procedures and drugs.
For the benefit of all society
How is a wood chipper an “experimental medical procedure”?
“My body, my choice”
The pro-abortionists are going to get thrown under the bus and they still think being on Team Left will keep them off the wall. It will for a time, but the foundation for their cause is being undermined and their friends are doing it.
Nah, that would require logical consistency.
“ The core questions in the case are thus whether there is a federal right to bodily integrity and medical privacy that includes refusing to submit to vaccination, and if so, what level of scrutiny must a state satisfy in order to impose a vaccination requirement despite this right.”
The state cares deeply about your bloodstream. Thanks, state.
The core question is, feet first or head first when it comes to woodchippers?
Is this real?
If so, ha ha.
I believe it is.
Could you please summarize all that?
And that ATM called you an asshole!
he house AC is acting up, Describe the symtoms and I can tell you what’s wrong, seriously
Obviously he should check the thermostat.
The Big Sky hasn’t been so big lately. Seems we’re downwind of every fire in the PNW. The mountains that are a mile away are hidden by the dirty, brown air. It’s like the smog in the Bay Area in the ’50s.
So its just like home to all those transplants there?
For those of us that left CA 50 years ago, yeah.
I was at Big Sky in June looking at some ski lift repairs and was rather surprised at how big the Yellowstone Club has become.
New Job is the most profitable I’ve ever had. However the drawbacks were/are both unexpected and unpleasant. I took the job not knowing that I would be the defacto lead/forman of a small crew responsible for the entire job from start to finish on both interior and exterior work. Not patch work, the whole damn house. New Boss underbids his prep work to secure work on the cheap side. Which means too little materials and too little days to complete the job…Also, I’ve had to fire two new hires because they can’t remember the simplest tasks or remember to not do simple things like not dip your trim brush into the damn ceiling paint to to cover base shoe just because it kinda sorta looks like ceiling paint despite being a different color, sheen, and me telling you “That’s ceiling paint. Don’t put your brush in that.” twice in ten minutes. Craigslist hires, what are you going to do?
I’m not sure I like this new role as jobsite boss thrust upon me but goddamn, the twenty-five percent increase in income sure is nice. Y’all know I’m not the most mentally stable person here. Pray/encourage my mental well being. 🙂
Love you all.
We are all damaged here, Fare Well TH!
*Fist-bumps Bob*
Craigslist hires, what are you going to do?
Labor Ready dudes. Hooboy. Listen, they showed up at seven AM, but then, they’re labor ready dudes desperate enough to show up at seven AM.
*Recalls Homeless Methhead 2001*
Yeah, LR would get you by in a pinch. They considered me reliable enough to sleep in my car in their back parking lot as long as I would get up and be ready to work by opening, God bless them.
?
I work with a bunch of Russkies who vary wildly in talent. Gradually all of them have been moved to other teams and I got stuck with the worst one and it’s not even close. OK, one of my colleagues might beg to differ based on some anecdata I’ve heard but holy crap sometimes I want to scream at this guy’s image in Teams but I can’t because he isn’t stupid and he does mean well and I keep hoping he’ll learn something some day.
I think part of it is his English is the worst of the lot.
/shitlord problems
Mentally scarred burnouts who overplay their credentials to get hired by a small business owner desperate for workers seems to be my new bugaboo…
Blarg.
Work for the city. Those same retards cannot be fired. Scary, but true.
Nah, son. I’ve done the union bit(TWU) in Massachusetts, no less. I saw a new hire rip the nose off a regional jet with a tug while still
under probation and keep his job. This was almost twenty years ago and technically a “private sector” job/union.
I shudder to think what modern public sector Cali is like now.
After working the flight line in the Air Force, I always laugh when I see how all the vehicles at airports are beat to hell.
Can confirm. Actually recently had a brand new truck that the driver refused to bring in for service. Just drove it until it blew up at 15k miles. They’re CNG and they need oil changes worse than real trucks.
I was told to write a Report of Survey blaming an enlisted driver for breaking a marker light on a 40′ trailer. I was pissed because an aircrew had just fucked up a flap on a B-52 with no repercussion. I did find that if I filled out the report but accidentally forgot to file it with the transportation squadron, everybody was happy and the airman didn’t have to pay.
Being a supervisor isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But the pay is better.
I met a girl who throws so much farther than me,
I met a girl and it as plain to see,
Disc golf Girl! Disc golf Girl!
Lets travel roiund the World,
just meee and Disc golf Girl,
A marathon Golf session, and then dinner, just me and Disc golf Girl,
and her Daughter, who is cool
I went the grocery to buy some art supplies,
I was amazed at that into your eyes,
Dusc Golf Girl, Disc Golf Girl,
Your not like Minnie Pearl just meee and Disc Golf Girl,
TMBG vibes here
I’m happy as all get out, I spent the last 6 hours golfing with my hot little lady friend, then we went to dinner, Winning!
You need some l-l-loving arms
I’m letting this one mellow and brew, she’s a lot like me, paranoid and crazy, but we really relate well, our friends hate us, we won’t stop talking. One of us is bad, but when her and I hook up, game over, it’s hilarious,
I’m getting Dead Milkmen
Keerect!
And she is a Punk Rock Girl,
and I’m John Doe,
“just me and Disc golf Girl,
and her Daughter, who is cool”
So you get to check another one off the bucket list!
“I met a girl who throws so much farther than me”
That’s just sad, bro.
Nope, Chicks play this game well, I outdrive her most times, but she is accurate,
Throws farther and accurate !==
Strong arm hand job!
/Tacoma FD
Today looks like a slow day here at de Glibs, wokesters.
So, if you really think we can stop this slide into insanity and want to retain hope, do not watch this.
Repeal the First Amendment
And, Dice, would you stop doing this in Cali, there’s no way people can be that fucking stupid in any other state. I mean, I get on the 5, take it all the way up, and repeal the first amendment…
I get on the 5, take it all the way up
All the way to Hilt?
Dude, you realize that the 5 goes all the way from Burritoland up to the United Provinces of Donuts and Hockey, right?
keep it up and you can end up in Patagonia,
/Trans America Highway…
That’s not exactly up, Yusef, I mean I’m pretty sure, that’s down.
Nope. Ends just north of Hilt. I-5 goes north, but that “The ” shit ends there.
Condolences to CS and sorry to hear about the old man’s troubles, Swiss.
I belatedly echo Straff’s sentiments.
Does it get any better than this?
Fuggit. Have another ?
https://ibb.co/WH7SN7p
Excellent Straff.
Thx. I’ve reached the limit of how much graphite that paper can hold. Any idea of what type of paper can withstand heavy shading yet still take detail?
Straff, I peaked at stick figures. I am the wrong guy to ask.
SP would be one I could ask, but she, too, is going through a tough time. I do like Jordan P’s advice of making yourself into someone that others can lean on at funerals. Tougher said than done.
Bristol?
That or the vellum? Maybe I’ll get both and give ‘em a try. Cool!
I think the vellum is a type of Bristol paper – with the rougher texture best for graphite.
My late two cents, my experience with vellum is that is very smooth and transparent, we used it for architectural plans before everything was printed by computers, the ink wouldn’t bleed and you could over lay rough drawings. I remember it being really hard not to smudge, graphite particularly would smudge forever, ink would dry and be set but not so with pencil lines.
I just suddenly realized that this fuck up administration has finally fucked up for real. Wait, maybe this is a dream. Did they just admit that they are colluding with private organizations to restrict the first amendment rights of Americans? I mean, no one is that stupid, right?
They’ve been doing it forever. Just doing it out in the open now.
I never believe this stuff, but they’ve completely fucked themselves this time.
Like Clapper admitting he’s a perjurer and nothing else happened?
That POS has to live with himself. Not kidding when I say that would be torture.
I thought they fucked up when it was revealed they’re flying illegal immigrants around the country to help them along to their final destinations, until nothing else happened.
The govt is Aqualung.
From Thomas Massie’s Facebook page:
As usual, the good ones quit and you’re left with the compliant boot lickers. How do you break that cycle?
Make the boots taste really bad? Anti-freeze would do it.
Sometimes good ones don’t quit on their own. Obama ushered out several career officers who didn’t align with his “vision”, if the stories are to be believed.
Is he going to prohibit mandatory vaccines period for service members, including basic trainees? At least they’re no longer using those unsanitary pos air guns.
I lived in the same county as Massie for yeas. Nothing but dumb rednecks, no way anyone from there could to to go MIT /the left, most of us working at Mr. Tire
Tried watching a couple minutes of corporate media. ? Doesn’t matter which one, they all suck balls. No idea how I ever watched it before.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rpP2JjFKthU
Yeah, I stopped watching CNN about 13 years ago, and Fox 12 years ago. Have not looked back. Typically for my daily news I check RCP, and then Glibs. Not necessarily in that order.
Before YouTube and other sites, I suppose there was nowhere else to go. But the contrast between some dude in his basement making a video and the cheese eating and hairspray slathered scumbags on, say, CNN or Fox is remarkable.
I see that California is claiming that Larry Elder didn’t properly complete all the requirements to be listed on the gubernatorial recall election.
The election is going to be Mail-in by default, just like 2020.
Covid hysteria. The gift that keeps on giving.
I just saw that. They don’t care about actual rules or laws any longer, they just make shit up as they go.
What is the point of being in power if you can’t just make shit up?
Imagine the outrage and screeching about Jim Crow if this were a black Leftist, not an icky black right-winger.
This gave me a chuckle

They really need to stop giving me d̶a̶y̶s̶ nights off.
I just stood up and nearly fell into TV #2.
If you deal with your suppressed homosexuality you probably won’t drink as much.
Its 2021….you need to get in touch with your feelings.
Don’t it’s current year me. The only feelings I have are an insatiable desire to be First and to see women’s insides on the outsides.
So you’re a GOATSE guy.
Checks out.
Which one takes priority?
This new article scarcity offends me. OFFENDS!!!1!
I’d like to speak to a manager.
I keep em coming, they keep putting them up,

It would have been less gay if they would have just had sex with each other.
My take-away from this is that it’s very boring in Idaho.
Also, I’m surprised Masked Guy will touch something that Unmasked Guy has just touched.

“Kid Rock conservative” I bet that poll tests well.
I’d rather have the Kid Rock brand any day. The moralizing and pearl clutching on the right is just as distasteful as the moralizing and pearl clutching from the left and Charlie Kirk eat al are retards.
It’s “Tipper Gores” all the way down.
I’ve been up all night, and I have to collect Tres Ver. 2.0 in 6 hours. Nap time.
Fuckin laissez le bontemps rulez!
Pleasant dreams, homey! And have a good time with the spawn!
Looking forward to a much less hectic day at work today. At most, do a final review with a fine-toothed comb of the payroll that includes a semi-annual “incentive” for most employees before giving the thumbs-up to our payroll processor. Other than that, it’ll just be plodding through the piles of returned mail in hopes of getting updated info…so that maybe there’ll be slightly fewer returned NEXT quarter-end… 🙁
I always try to do a little extra from Sunday to Wednesday so I can bolt through my Thursday shift. Doesn’t work during the winter but this time of year I can kill off the big site in two hours and be paid for six.
Made ‘behind the scenes’ video for upper tier Patrons. The rest of yall will get to see it eventually to, I guess. But my PC was acting up and it took a lot longer than it should have. I hate when something that isn’t obvious makes a PC lag. I don’t want to bothered with sussing out the culprit while otherwise occupied. I should fire my IT guy. But I can’t fire myself.
Violent thunderstorm ran through while I was at work. Little doge is terrified of them and she was home alone. Result? Explosive diarrhea! FML.
Cleaned her up and she’s snoring by feet now even though my smoking, drinking, Glibbing room is sort of off-limits. Judi’s not home so an exception was made.
I’m never going to own another long-haired dog again. They don’t like it much when you swish their rear ends in the water…
:: looks at two long-haired cats:: Yeah, I hope I don’t ever have to bathe the big one.
Short hairs from now on. Dearly departed big orange one had to go to the groomers every six months and his teeth were nearly a half-inch long.
