That’s some fine tackling.
Yep. That’s right. College ball kicked off this week. My beloved Broncos coughed up a fur ball in the second half against UCF Thursday night, but the season has at least started.
Yes, I’m ready for Mu. As long as it’s followed by Shu and pork.
Maybe they should start wearing skimpy outfits again.
Now we’re even fucking with the cats heads.
I mean, we got balogna here, dude.
“Um…yeah…about that whole, “Primate” thing?…
Yeah, pretty shitty news weekend, and I’m just fine with it. Peace out Glibs.
How dare those passengers act like they’re paying customers and not self loading cargo!
Sounds like a lot of it covid theater push-back. I wonder what we can do about that.
In May I flew Delta in Comfort Plus. A passenger sitting across the aisle from me wanted two alcoholic drinks. According to the Delta website, passengers in Comfort Plus can get “complimentary beer, wine and spirits for 21+.” The passenger was saying that he paid a higher ticket price to get his drinks. He was denied the second drink. A whole bunch of flight attendants argued with him about it.
What’s the naval term again?
Oh yeah, “supercargo.”
Well. That nice lady sure knows how to say hello.
As is the custom of our tribe, there will be a GlibZoom Happy Hour / Snarkfest / STFU yournamehere / Mutual Site Improvement Society tonight at 7:00 CT tonight.

No, you’re not. Trust me on this.
Uh, ok. I’ll take your word for it.
I’m sensing there’s a backstory here.
No one should have to read that.
I’m practicing my fingering tonight. I forgot how hard this is.
Not a very subtle euphemism.

I can’t believe you’re making me ask. What are you fingering?
Heh. An electric keyboard.

Nope. I’m not an asshole.

Tonio, I can’t get into the Zoom. It says “The host has another meeting in progress.”
Same here.
I got in and it’s the best zoom ever.
No, it’s not.
*applause*
Not without me it isn’t.
It should be apparent that allowing the government to literally fuck over everybody in the world might just piss some people off. Couple it with requiring everyone to obscure their faces and anger/violence/crime is going to go way the fuck up. It helps to have the government lie to us all, a lot. Fomenting massive panic in people for no good reason is just gravy on the fucked up soup these assholes are serving. I know I keep feeling more and more hopeless as time goes by.
Yeah, I have no idea why everybody is so pissed off…
And I am envisioning all the elites slapping each other on the back at stories like that one.
After prepration and three days of waiting for the weather to clear, I’m finally going up river, and my back, while painful, is functional, so I’ll take it.
“Um…yeah…about that whole, “Primate” thing?…

Humans are primates. I don’t see the problem.

Fauci said the Mu variant, technically known as B.1.621, has mutations suggesting “it would evade certain antibodies,” potentially including those from vaccines.

Amirzadeh says flight attendants across US airlines are just “over it.”
Allie Malis, a flight attendant for American Airlines, says air crew are “exhausted — physically and emotionally.”
“We’ve gone through worrying about our health and safety, worrying about our jobs — now [we are] worrying about our safety in a different way.”
Boo-hoo.
Facebook apologized for a “clearly unacceptable error” after the artificial intelligence on the social media network mislabeled a video of black men as “primates.”
Couldn’t have happened to a better bunch of folks.
Well, I don’t think they should have to worry about getting punched in the face. I think this is a legitimate grievance. https://news.yahoo.com/woman-seen-punching-southwest-airlines-172727088.html
Well, no. Of course not. Maybe there should be security on flights?
I worked a number of shit jobs where I was constantly on edge from the human scum that floats in and out of seedy hotels during overnight hours and usually without any security.
I solved it by getting an office job and never looked back.
White privilege!
And, of course, because you’re part of the patriarchy…
I want to lock Fauci up in my house with my cat Felix, whose body count is rising sharply by the day despite his relatively small frame.
He is svelte, fierce, and smart enough to call the bluff of critters like Foochi.

Stunning!
My wife and I are both horribly allergic to cats, otherwise I’d have one for their sheer contrariness.
I would name mine Scruffy.
Nice.
The “A-Ha” like animation part way through was a good touch.
Cute kitty. You named your cat “cat”? Anyhow I was expecting this:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VSAofzhlFFs
That is indeed the cat for which my boy is named. But I had never before seen that clip, so thank you.
Also, that animator was on something stronger than beer…
Prohibition-era animation rules. Seriously trippy stuff in black and white.
Wow. That look says “I don’t take any shit.”
Yeah, I’ve never had a car with orange eyes before. He is a tiny little badass.
My Betty was the opposite of svelte but she had similar coloring and eyes.
Nice pussy.
Reminds me of our latest local cat. He just followed the lady who lives across the street home one evening when she walking her dogs, and kinda adopted us all in our quiet little enclave (we live at the end of a cul-de-sac).
I’ve named him Phantom after his mask, while the wife calls him Lieutenant Tux, playing on a Star Wars prequel character. Not that it matters — cats aren’t known for coming when they’re called.
Awww…look at that face!! You can’t say no to that face.
Felix comes when he is called. He seems to believe he is part doggo. Whatevs. It works for me.
I also want you to lock Fauci in a room with your cat.
Stop posting videos which go against our narrative, sheesh.
At this point, flight crews don’t get the benefit of the doubt from me.
Which is worse, primates or African Swine Fever?
You know who else is just “over it?” Everyone.
Perhaps you could direct your self-indulgent whining towards that brick wall over there; it certainly gives more of a fuck than I do.
“We’ve gone through worrying about our health and safety, worrying about our jobs — now [we are] worrying about our safety in a different way.”
Guess what? Us travelers are miserable, too.
If you’re bored at home “working” and following your cats around when they want to be left alone, maybe you don’t know how to take care of cats.
Obvious hints are obvious. But this is a thing that is obviously caused by the ‘vid so it is something we must write an article about.
Maybe they should stop taking their cats to the vats.
Or, even cats don’t like to be stuck with crazy cat ladies.

I would buy that for my cat, but I don’t want him to kill me in my sleep.

I went to my kids’ school’s opening night football game on Thursday. D2, so pretty low key.
It was surprisingly fun!
Pretty cool that he’s playing, they play some good football in D2. There is nothing like watching your kid succeed.
That was a terrible sentence. Sorry.
Both my kids go to the same D2 school. I went to the first football game of the season (they beat the everloving shit out of something called Western Oregon). My son is not on the team.
My daughter, however, is on the cheerleading squad, which is why I was there. She was amazing.
There is nothing like watching your kid succeed.
This times a gagillion. I can’t figure out how someone like me ended up with such fantastic kids.

Flight attendants are safety professionals trained in dealing with everything from a medical emergency to a potential terrorist incident.
“We’re not here to serve you a coke, we’re here to save your life,” is how Amirzadeh puts it.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that, sweetie. As Dennis Miller once put it, “You’re a waitress in a bad restaurant at 35,000 feet.”
I go out of my way to be nice to them, though, the same way I’m cordial with the cart attendant at my country club or the manager of my favorite bar. There’s one important difference, however: flight attendants, along with pretty much every other low-level functionary involved with air travel, can make your life really difficult if they feel slighted by you.

A good day of honey production, there will be enough for every Honey Helper to get enough on their hands and their shirts, with a little practice. It has not been a record year, because of the summer long drought but the bees decided to put in a little overtime, apparently.
Next week we’ll clean up the residual and move the bees to an unknown location, thus insuring complaints will be minimized come Sep 19th.
Sweet! Wish I could join you.
?? congrats, 4×20, king of the bees.

Mrs. Q feels bad because she unintentionally got someone fired this week. We are replacing carpet in the basement; she stayed home while I was at work. One of the guys, likely an illegal from her account of his barely intelligible English, started making lewd comments to her and then insisted she give him money to pay for his lunch. She called the company and the guy got fired on the spot. Now she feels guilty about it.
Fuck that, I hope his slimy ass gets deported.
Unfortunately he knows where you live. I hope all the self-defense items were not lost in that boating accident.
That possibility was not lost on me.
Feels guilty for what? That guy sounds like prison material to me. Had she not called it isn’t unlikely that that situation may have escalated beyond lewd comments. I have seen those kinds of pieces of shit before.
She did the right thing.
That’s what I’m saying too.
Well tell her this – creeps like that don’t just target her. They target every woman they run across. She has no idea what other woman she may have saved a lot of grief for by standing up for herself. She stood up for them as well. Guilty my ass. She should be proud.
Yep.
She did the right thing.
I have to say, as someone on the receiving end of some very unwelcome, sexually charged remarks, I fully support your wife’s decision. People shouldn’t be able to get away with making sexually explicit comments like that. She didn’t look 17 and calling me a pedophile isn’t even the right term.
It isn’t really about sex. It is a kind of bullying.
One thing you can bet your last dollar on…in the end bullies are cowards. They only prey on whomever they perceive as weak. Dont be weak.
Tell your wife your internet lawyer friend said she did the right thing.

I’ve been waiting for these folks to start killing each other in earnest.
It makes me more than a little bit suspicious that the left is so hell-bent on having everyone take a vaccine that appears to not be very safe or effective. Maybe it is just my tin-foil ways but something is a bit off about the whole thing with me.
At this point it just looks like the Jets and the Sharks rumbling. The issue is beside the point.
Bingo.
Most of those people are crazy and not like Steve Martin’s wild and crazy guy. They are violent nuts looking for any excuse.

So nice to live in a small town, we don’t have any crap like that nor would we stand for it, it’s a simpler place here, I like it,
Step 1 to avoid trouble: don’t go looking for trouble.
Further: I come off as glib (drink!), but I actually do hope they start turning downtown areas of these privileged White PNW towns into Black Hawk Down. Then the dipshit Commie locals might actually wanna do something about it. Or at least it’ll be entertaining.
Antifa has tried bringing their shit to working class towns and various ‘burbs’. It didn’t turn out well for them. I notice a distinct lack of that activity now. They are sticking to commie leaning large cities these days. As far as I am concerned they can have ’em.

I’m on the fence with Blackberry Smoke. The radio songs of theirs that I know kinda flirt the line between Americana (good) and Nashville Pop (ver’bad).
I’ve seen them 3-4 times live and they put on a good, no nonsense show. They don’t really have any great songs, but they have a lot of good ones. I wasn’t real big on them at first, but they’ve grown on me over the years.

Maybe I can veer you off course with some La Crosse, WI country, courtesy of my friend Cheech (Gregg Hall). His real name is Greg with one G, but he’s always spelled it with 2 G’s because that’s how Gregg Allman spells his name. That’s his actual van in the video. I remember how happy he was when he showed it to me right after fixin’ it up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxx4sXh5DmI
This is a funny one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNsXFQHbGFQ
Not bad. Not bad at all.
1) The van was cool a hell.
B) Is that an authentic Willie Nelson sig on that Texas flag?
Another good one. And the blonde is a hard would.
Where are you located, roughly, in NoDak? Every once in a great while he plays in Fargo and his live shows are great. Lots of rocked up outlaw country / blues / 70’s hippy jam type stuff. He also did a fantastic Merle tribute at the venue in the video. The venue in that video is one of my favorite places to see a live show, Leo and Leona’s out in the middle of nowhere up on top of a ridge. It’s an old roadhouse type place. When you walk in the back room it’s like stepping back in time to the 50’s.
Here’s an example of the rocked up country I mentioned, courtesy of a Ray Wylie Hubbard cover I recorded.

And a Johnny Paycheck tune I recorded at the end of the night after a 3 Hanks tribute. Some of the 3 Hanks stuff is on my youtube page.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgVglmb4CdU
I got lots of video from a Willie and Waylon tribute he does every year. I still need to go through it though and see how it turned out before deciding to edit and post it.
The blonde is hot. Not sure about the Texas flag sig, but I’m guessing it’s Willie’s. He’s a pretty hard core country fan. He got to be an opener for Merle not long before he died and I know he was really psyched out for that.
I’m a little under 2 hours north of Fargo.
Ray Willie is one of my favorites. That was a really good job on DPD. The paycheck tune, too. Fun cover.
I’m hooked. If you think of it, let me know if he ever gets up my way.
I will. He’s easily in my top 5 favorite artists. I have lots of his stuff on my youtube page. He also does tons of great tribute shows with lots of musicians. He’s got a couple country albums, but I think his wheelhouse is jammy outlaw country / blues / rock. Americana I guess. I heard some of his master recordings for his new album and it’s really good. It’s back to his roots. He writes great lyrics, too. Here’s a greatest hits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTDA7dhm9tE&list=OLAK5uy_kNUm8exDJaOzXRoaNXrIxVnqF-iCC-YJM

With regard to the flight attendant matter, I think part of it is COVID theater, but not all of it. The airlines have seemed to make ignoring the satisfaction of the customer something of an art form, even pre-pandemic. I mean, seriously, who looks at flying as anything more than a misery one has to endure to get where one has to go these days? In addition to COVID theater, there’s security theater, the airlines canceling flights mid-trip, wild delays, and a plethora of other indignities. And I’ve little doubt the feds writing the airlines massive checks to essentially do nothing has only worsened the incentives. At the same time, I’d be shocked if flight attendant staffing or training or experience hasn’t declined. And when that happens, the ability of the flight attendants to deal with a difficult customer with some finesse gives way to “SCREW YOU! RESPECT MUH AUTHORITAH!!!”, which, unsurprisingly only escalates situations.
Aside from the various theaters, this stuff was bound to happen when flying became affordable to the riff-raff. Treating everyone like cattle is part of keeping costs down.
Morning, Glibs.
Not my normal time on a Sunday. But I’ve got more driving to do today.
Plinker, I’m afraid I don’t understand your question. Knoxville is an overnight stop because it fell at the limits of yesterday’s sane driving time. I would have answered last night, but I went to bed more or less immediatly after updating you lot.
I would have had an update ten minutes ago, but my laptop randomly decided to disconnect from the hotel network.
Here’s a butterfly I photographed in my Dad’s garden since I don’t have any impressive scenic pictures yet.
I’m certainly no entomologist (dont even play one on TV), but that seems more like a moth than a butterfly.
Its a Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly, what it’s doing in New York I have no idea.
Visiting Niagara Falls ?
Butterflies aren’t terribly smart.
Close enough I suppose.
Maryland, I believe.
Lovely, no matter what kingdom/phylum/class/order/family/genus/species it is. (Ooh! Sciencey stuff I remember!) And pretty flowers, too.
Be careful out there. Drive fast (to reduce your time at risk) and talk back to the cops.

TALL SABBATH CANS!
Good morning, homey! Had to cut short our visit to Fort Rowdy when it started raining yesterday afternoon, and the Dragons game got postponed. If it dries out enough today, I have to weed-whack the yard. That’s what’s suh/goody. You?
Jugsy is having 2 of her friends from Corn County up here today.
#FatGirlParty!

Getting rained out at camping, do here I am, going things chill for an hour like the forecast says so I can make some eggs. Tent is holding up surprisingly well.
Consolidating the ammo scraps, the mags are starting today loaded with a mix of SIX different kinds of ammo!
3 kinds of CCI Blazer (112, 124, and 147 grain)
TSA 124gr
some early 21st century Winchester WinClean 115gr that I bought off of the back of a truck
Wolf Polyformance 115gr
I haven’t had a malfunction in over 3000 rounds, I’m about due.
112g ?
Don’t think I’ve seen that before.
That’d be a typo for 115
This weekend the “serious” gun club isn’t doing anything (the organizers of USPSA and IDPA are taking a break/prepping for the 9/11 Charity shoot) so there were (as of Friday) 16 of them slumming it at KF&G today. We’ll see how things go.
Good luck.
Thank’ee.
I typically do better against them at a KF&G event that at a USPSA one, since they mostly shoot Carry Optics and those new-fangled technogadgetries aren’t allowed at KF&G. I shoot irons exclusively, except for bullseye.
Eat more steak.
