No.
See: Rush.
No, Steely Dan.
I’m not sure.
Led Zep, Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, it’s hard to choose just one.

I haven’t been this disappointed in a Glib in a long time. Nick…what the fuck are you doing? Is this supposed to be a First? Do you even know what you’re doing here, guy? You just fucked up everything.
Like Jesus H. Christ. I’m going to have to go lie down after this. I just need time away from everything.
Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.
This comment amuses me.
How about the kind words for Steely Dan?
Get in line, buddy, behind all of my previous lovers (both of them), my high school coaches, my college academic advisors, my in-laws….
I even let down the Cleveland Browns
Yes, but unlike all of those entities, my opinion actually matters. THIS matters.
NOTHING REALLY MATTERS!

You’re a Fed, aren’t you?
I refuse to answer. How does that suit you?
Why didn’t you number the questions like a proper agent of the Government?
Definitely NOT a Fed, but I do work for the Chinese government (about 5 degrees of bacon)
Am I being detained?
If you were, I’m sure you could write a good story about it.
Did it. Got an agent with it. Eons ago.
Didn’t publish it yet, though. I am busy researching how one would survive in the American SW desert with as few supplies as possible, long enough to get to a hospital. (Or whether I should change desert to snow.) We’ve had some nice discussions on it here.
Forgot to say, I’m rehabbing it.

Hell no.
And not the best of the previous century, either.

Glasair FTW
Dad’s Glasair was my second-favorite airplane of his (behind the Taylorcraft). It was rated for something like 5Gs but I could never talk him into any acrobatics.
I have no opinion about flying machines.
But, isn’t fiberglass heavy?
About on par with aluminum.
Carbon fiber is where its at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Vision_SF50

This makes sense.
Dude, you were, like, five guys ago.

Some anti-biotics will clear that up in about a week.
“Why do clothing store mannequins have nipples?”
Well, in winter it is because the retailers are on a cost-cutting mode and keep the heat way down in the store.
But in the summer they have the A/C is on too high.
I invoke my fifth amendment right against self-incrimination.
There’s a YouTube series parodying a used car dealership making commercials… I’m sure someone here linked it. I can’t find it now. Sound familiar to anyone?
“Howdy, friends, Ralph Spoilsport of Spoilsport Motors, here in the city of Emphysema.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwHjdUegko
I can’t remember which Glib first posted this years ago but if I remember correctly it was an actual commercial on a public access channel.
It’s not only the greatest used car commercial, it’s the greatest television ad in history:
https://youtu.be/U2m0S4P-efs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rCY6StJNVU
Or this one (after the first commercial).
Was that intentionally bad or just an epic example of a hastily thrown together, one take budget commercial?
The one I’m thinking of has a guy who’s arguing with his employees about how to go about producing this thing, and eventually being talked into ridiculous themes, like at one point donning an explosive vest to be a terrorist in a commercial.
*eyes gleam*
I wish you success in your search, sir. I’d like to see that.
*lights cigarette lighter for Nick Mason, sways slowly back and forth*
[whispers] Don’t listen to them, Nick. Pink Floyd IS the best rock band of the century.
Division Bell is their best album, followed by Dark Side.
I also like The Division Bell the best. As time goes on, I am less and less enamored of Roger waters.
All in all, he’s a dick with no balls.
I hate Waters so much, I actually listen to Gilmour’s solo work.
I like his solo work, tbh. It’s a bit soft rock, but I enjoy it. But Waters can shove it and his solo work, if there’s been any, other than simping for third-world dictators.
I wonder how Waters would have been different if his father hadn’t been killed in WWII.
Nobody going for it was all done after Syd Barret?
Kidding aside I like both pre and post Waters, despite the fact that Waters is an extraordinary asshole.
If I can only listen to non-asshole music I’ll be consigned to mostly J Pop.
I enjoy quite a bit of asshole music and movies.
Me and my brother, sister, and friends seen Roger Waters on his Dark Side and Wall tours. He always had the political propaganda bullshit, but it was usually behind the band on stage and easy to ignore.
Then he did the Us and Them Tour a few years ago. The show was going great and he did an awesome version of Dogs. This is when he took things way too far. There were giant screens that came down throughout the Bradley Center used for visuals. He started doing Pigs and it was all gross shit like a giant naked Trump with a little pecker, shit about him wanting to fuck his daughter, NAZI tattoos on his forehead, and lots of other sophomoric shit.
My brother, who is not very political other than hating SJW bullshit, gets totally pissed off at turning the show into Roger’s idiotic politics. He stands up, throws up a big middle finger, and starts yelling FUCK YOU! over and over again at a really high volume. Finally he sits down and I tell him it’s pointless and the only people that can see his gesture are other crowd members. He says I want them to be uncomfortable, this is bullshit, and stands up again with a giant middle finger and keeps yelling FUCK YOU!!! We had pretty good seats, so a lot of people could see what he was doing. Since everyone was sitting, he really stood out. We all almost walked out after this song. That wasn’t the last of his propaganda for the night either. I regret going to that show. Never again.
Well, it turns out the reporter who was covering the show was sitting right behind us, and he started his article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal the next day referring to my brother.
https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/07/30/trump-trashing-spectacle-roger-waters-divides-milwaukee-and-conquers/523097001/
That’s awesome.
I saw them only one on the Momentary Loss of Reason tour.
I’m not remotely enough of a fan of any of that band and its splinter acts to experience that, sadly/happily.
Its annoying that commies likes waters become millionaires off American capitalist tendencies then bash America for not being communist.
I seen Pink Floyd at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison in July ’94. It was a hot day, and as the show started it sprinkled / light rain on and off throughout the show.
But, when Comfortably Numb started, the rain picked up. As Gilmore started soloing, the rain picked up in intensity as the solo got more intense, and turned into a complete downpour as the solo peaked. After the song, the storm cloud passed and went back to on and off drizzle. To this day, whenever I happen across someone that was at that show, it’s the first topic that is brought up. Not sure if Gilmore was responding to the rain or the rain was responding to the solo. It was tripped out.
Floyd was my favorite band when I was younger, but the nod goes to the Allman Brothers since I was about 30.
“I seen Pink Floyd at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison in July ’94.”
#metoo
Notice Commies come to America to make it rich and then bash Great Americans like Donald Trump who want to keep America from becoming commie.
Im sick of these pieces of shit.
War is hell commies!
If you’d ever had sex on a parapet, you’d know the answer to that one already…

Why are so many morning radio shows not funny or entertaining?
There was a time and place when I listened to some funny morning shows. Those days are long gone.
Does love at first {blank} exist?
Yes
Is this a mistake?
I knew it would be that song.
Is Pink Floyd really the best rock band of this century?
They’re good, but not that good.
“Funny” morning shows are like podcasts. I don’t need to spend hours listening to three jackasses yuck it up.
Not all podcasts are like that.
‘Does love at first {blank} exist?’
Ever been addicted to drugs?
The first hit is free, right?
In truth, I would like to try both MDMA and mushrooms. Unfortunately, my company does random drug testing.
I have a cousin who swears that cocaine is the best thing ever. She limits herself to only a few times a year though.
I didn’t think that anyone tested for MDMA or mushrooms. THC, cocaine, opioids, and meth, as I recall. It’s been several years since I looked into it, their methods could have changed.
I used to know several people who would do coke on Friday night, knowing that it would be out of their system by Monday.
I believe you’re correct. At least that’s what my friends who work for reputable businesses tell me. And yeah, the coke thing is a thing.
The problem with coke is it makes you think you can do lines until 3 or 4 in the morning and wake up the next day fresh for work. Or so I’ve heard.
Hehehehehe
When you’re nineteen, maybe.
I did my fair share back in the day but it never was among my top five drugs.
My take on good coke is largely: “Okay. This is really, really good coke. I can’t feel my tongue, my teeth, my gums, my face, my head is going WHOMP,WHOMP,WHOMP,WHOMP,WHOMP,…hell, I can’t even be sure I’m breathing right now…
*mild panic attack, calms down about ten minutes later*
Let’s do that again!
*next morning and $200 lighter in the wallet*
That was so fucking stupid. What was the point? I barely enjoyed myself.
It’s not any easier when you’re 45.
Or not bother going to bed and just power through.
MDMA might show up as an amphetamine? And/or might be cut with something that could show up.
Mushrooms are probably safe.
Two of my favorites and both were instant loves. Oddly, They weren’t the ones that got me srung the first go around. Smoking good, “clean” meth aka Ice was a revelation. All my fears, anxieties, concerns, morals, ethics, and most of my basic humanity washed away. I felt confident, calm, calculated, driven, invincible. In short, I went from an insecure, guilt ridden, shy young man I to a supremely confident, full blown sociopath ready to conquer everything and everyone around me. All the paranoia, health problems and mental instability comes later.
Ecstasy was probably the most fun I’ve ever had on drugs. And no pesky side effects the next day. Only did it a couple times though, so no idea if it can be overdone like say for example coke can or so I’ve heard.
I adore Ecstasy. Never in my life have I felt so loved, open, happy, and connected to humanity than when rolling at a rave.
‘And no pesky side effects the next day.’
See, that’s were we differ. The massive serotonin release on that drug would mess with my brain until it corrected to the normal balance. I’d usually fall into a depression for about three days afterwards.
Not to say that I didn’t often repeat the act by the next weekend.
Too bad 🙁
I’m off drugs more or less permanently now.
Perhaps because I’m too chicken to buy them myself. Or I’m just old and DGAF. Or I haven’t reconnected with less-chicken friends since the start of the plaguedemic.
Shit, depression after drinking is my thing. And before. And during. But I like this love drug you recommend.
I still smoke weed. That’s about it. I did coke and MDMA for the first time in about a decade about two years ago on a buddy of mine’s 40th birthday. It was a disaster. Even rolling I managed to alienate four of my childhood friends whom I haven’t spoken to since.
I’m done with all of it.
I’ve not been intimately involved with anyone for five years now. I assure you, it’s not because I’m a gollum. I need something that makes me feel feelings again.
I think I fell in love with Mrs. Q the first time I fucked her.
TMI.
You weren’t in love with her before you fucked her?
Kinda?
If she had to get breast reduction surgery, would you still love her, Q?
My first (hah!) had breast reduction surgery. They VERY nicely filled out that baby blue sweater that used to drive me wild.
A nice meal at the local restaurant, a moonlit night, laying her down on the warm tarmac at the end of an uncontrolled airport runway in middle-north-central Minnesoda, some kissing, some heavy breathing, a recalcitrant bra hook, a flashlight, a barking sheriff’s deputy….
Wow. Breast reduction surgery was pretty dicey in those days.
That was before her reduction surgery.
My favorite ex had breast reduction surgery long before we met – she had the classic anchor scars.
She was still Q-worthy, can’t imagine the “before”.
I have a question. Does anyone think there will be even a single moment of introspection on the left as Putin adopted their own rhetoric about fake news to shut down CNN? I mean, I know there was none when dictatorships across the globe did it after 2016, but…
Introspection is not the strong suit of humans, less so that subset of humans.
No. They think that they are “on the right side of history” and Putin is the Devil. And that makes it… OK.
Seriously, if they started dressing like puritans and naming kids weird BS like Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith or Hate-bad, I would not be even the slightest bit surprised.
Nope. They won’t.
Nope.
Also

And Putin owes royalties to both the Neocons and Samatha Power.
No. They are congenitally incapable of hearing anything bad about themselves.
If smoking is so bad for you,
Apropos for smoking.
‘What is the meaning of life?’
Can’t speak for anyone else but I believe I exist to bear witness to creation. Not saying there’s a god but a universe with nobody to fathom it outside basic survival and companionship rings as a hollow thing. Somehow it has created sentient, wildly curious life and I’m a member of at least one of those species. And I appreciate that.
The way I heard it one time:
“Life is the attempt of a strand of DNA to replicate itself.”
If smoking is so bad for you, why does it cure salmon?
Whoa.
Nothing can cure salmon.
I am so sorry your taste buds are defective.
Right?
This guy gets it or rather this guy brings it and it’s gooooood.
BTW how are the knees doing? Been a while now.
It turns out titanium and whatever plastic is between them gets kind of stiff at -17 degF. Other than that, I can’t complain. I should have had them both replaced much earlier.
Good to hear. Stay inside or cover the knees up with a top coat or something.
ARE YOU TELLING ME I CAN’T RUN AROUND NAKED OUTSIDE DURING THE MINNESODA WINTER?
I thought this was Amurrica!
Someone committed a workplace sin this week worse than microwaving fish: opened a container of tuna at his or her desk.
That’s chicken o’ the sea, at least according to my daughter’s ex-husband.
I like tuna but I’d eat it in the privacy of my home
When my wife makes tuna salad sandwiches, I have to leave the house.
Yeah, fish at work is a sin no matter what form it takes.
Tuna sandwich, sardines, whatever are innocent sins compared to putting your chum bait in the supposedly shared office fridge. In between, storing in same fridge the large quantities of caught fish used to bribe your manager and coworkers so you can take time off with no notice.
OK, I will make an exception for brown-bagged tuna fish sandwiches. I’ve done it many times myself.
Now I feel like a tune sandwich next week. I miss pocket bread and alfalfa sprouts.

Yep. Saw in the GT that the cow college is asking BC to repeal their own county mask mandate.
Yeah, that ain’t gonna happen. I see waaaaaaaay too many boys and girls out and about in that town with masks. Hell, I see people driving by THEMSELVES with masks one. It’s What’s The Frequency Kenneth for social signaling.
Will see on Tuesday. I can see them repealing it for political reasons, even if the signaling continues by individuals.
I remember when the commission had Republican members and the congressional district was represented by a Republican.

I am completely okay with Ukraine buying weapons. Foreign volunteers want to take their chances and fight for UKR, okay. But if you are trying to provide Putin with offramps so the conflict can end then you don’t do a photo op and rub Putin’s nose in shit like he is a puppy that messed up the carpet.
Our “leaders” have no shame. No humility. Not for one moment has a single one of them stopped and pondered what part they played in creating this conflict. So they would never ask themselves whether they need to reevaluate how they’re own behaviors antagonize Russia. They are simply the good people doing the things that the good people do in the history books and will be praised for all eternity while Putin will be condemned. I mean, of course they aren’t going to bungle us into a nuclear war or anything…
Putin isn’t some delusional prick who views himself as a hero. He doesn’t strike me as self-righteous. He has that going for him.
Among the many essays along such lines I’ve looked at this week, one bit stuck out to me which was America’s notion that we always playing some game of Good vs. Evil.
I’m starting to realize it ain’t that simple.
My wife is all in on the narrative that Putin is a bully and shouldn’t be allowed to threaten nuclear war on us.
Discretion is the better part of valor. When you’re getting your ass kicked it’s OK to call a truce, if you can.
Remember when we used cutouts to supply the mujahadeen?
if you are trying to provide Putin with offramps
Feels like we barreled past that point when we turned him into Muscovite Hitler and disclaimed any possibility of appeasement.

Everytime one of you posts a music link, I question more and more whether you are truly the people to be saved with The First That Will Change Everything.
I dig you, Bro, but you should stick with firsting and stay the fuck out of music.
Best pop song ever.
I was prepared to argue with you but that’s pretty damn good, about 30 seconds too long though. the best pop song should be exactly 3 minutes long. I’d suggest this but it’s far too short.
Your link is fucked, so

Oh, that’s a good one!
Its one week short of 9 months, but I no longer homeless. It was nice being debt free, but I prefer having a house.
From time to time I’ll have documentaries about ancient sites on in the background. They pretty frequently have segments on “Oh, how could those ancient peoples have possibly moved those giant stones without modern tech?” but this one takes the cake. They are talking about relatively small monuments whose capstones weigh a daunting… hundred and fifty pounds. For their tech demo they even have two people haul it by hand to load the machine they’re speculating about the ancients using.
I get wondering at a hundred and fifty tons, but a hundred and fifty pounds? That’s just funny.
Why you so funny?
Minnesodans are superior.
No one understands why.
Minnesodans are curious folk. Anyone who can withstand 7 months of winter (4 months of that which are serious winter), has to be superior stuff.
It’s more than that. Lots of people survive winter. Very few build a seriously interesting culture.
Is there a Zoom tonight?
yes
But you have to wear a tie.
I’ve had a Zoom going all night. Was going to post a link, but after talking to myself a bit I realized…why? I’m the smartest, handsomest, and of course Firstest Glib with the best taste in music. Why would I ruin the atmosphere by including the rest of you?

In general, advertising is the way it is because it gets more people to buy your shit, not because it’s pleasing or non-annoying. There are all kinds of quirks in advertisements that seem annoying, ridiculous, unconvincing, etc. but which are consistently shown to be effective at increasing sales.
My guesses are either 1) They’re entertaining to a previous generation, or 2) They’re mainly just filler for people who want some kind of auditory stimulation for their commute and don’t feel like music.
Going back to the topic of advertising, I find it a stroke of genius that they turned “foam that sags and loses springiness over time” into “memory foam that magically remembers your body shape for maximum comfort!!”
I just listened to a “Great Courses” audiobook on that exact question, as it happens. Unfortunately, it only resulted in more questions. What is the definition of “meaning” anyway? How do we know there is a meaning of life to begin with?
I wonder if we should be pondering “the meaning of MY life” instead of trying to find one universal answer that can apply to everyone. I’m inclined to think that if you want meaning in your life, you have to look deep within and learn what you are capable of, what you desire out of life, what you can do for others, and so on. I’ve been trying to get into meditation and reading a lot of Stoic, Buddhist, and Daoist philosophy to try and figure these things out for myself.
A 1:38 goddamn great pop song;

I would like it played at all Glibs meetups
Seems appropriate.
I get no love from you all but I love these guys
Try, try again.
Though it’s warmer than before
Nice
The meaning of life is to be good. If you want to gain unity with the Divine in this world or the next be good. If you’re a more hedonistic type and want to enjoy life, research says the best way to do that is to have good relationships. The best way to have good relationships. Be good. If you want to leave a legacy you could write the thing worth the reading or do the thing worth the writing. Most of us 7 billion are not going to do that. The best way to have a positive impact on the world. Be good.
I can’t disagree with that.
Do you publish a newsletter? I wish to subscribe.
Is this absolute and universal, though? Lately, I’ve been struggling with the idea that my best possible route to goodness does not consist of close social relationships. I’m nonreligious and don’t really have a concept of being “meant” for this or that, but sometimes it looks to me like the best way for me to have a peaceful, meaningful life (and help others do the same) is some kind of solitary artistic or philosophical pursuit. I can’t figure out what this purpose is; I just don’t seem to “fit” anywhere else.
It’s annoying having questions like this. I miss the days when I was supremely elated by a steak on the grill, booze in the fridge, and some weird shit queued up on PornHub… But I guess that can’t really be all there is.
Do you publish a newsletter?
If so, I wish to subscribe.
Do all you can to preserve good relationships, but do all you can to prevent and protect yourself from bad ones.
The amazing thing is I woke up once to her and now
Dude, are you in a safe environment?
Do we need to send in reinforcements??
I literally can’t imagine waking up next to her, whoever she is. But I dream about her constantly.
What do women really want? PLEASE TELL ME!
THIS is my quandary,
It’s a burden being wonderful.

I’m in a hole-in-the-wall joint in my weird unincorporated town in Nevada, listening to Karaoke. Some is great, some is plain painful.
My husband is going to sing Dead Prudence next. This should be good…
That’s a hell of a mashup.
That sounds great. I hope your husband is feeling better/is adapting to the desert well.
We are adapting quite well, thank you .
We’ve lived in “blue” states for so long that it’s a daily wonder to live in the complete freedom of out weird little unincorporated town. And yeah, Nevada is a blue state due to Vegas and Reno, but you’d never know that in the vast red country in between.
FJB and Let’s Go Brandon are the norm.
Lovely stuff.
I think I just heard a big Pam Ploovy *sploosh* from hayeksplosives.

Lol. Now I have to go and change my avatar…
Musk is correct though. He’s practical, not religious.
Let’s , I dunno, get back to that Keystone pipeline thingy again?!?
My CT scan was not unpleasant. The tech charmed me right out of my space boots. Judi got into her cups tonight and admitted that it was she who has been buying me the high end chocolates every Xmas from my big site for the last 5 years, or so. Huh. It felt like learning Santa ain’t real.
Everything is happening too fucking fast. This past week has been a maelstrom and you drop that one in my lap? Sloppy, mean drunk.
I must have missed the backstory. Who did you think was buying you high end chocolate? What’s your big site?
Sigh. My clients. They all signed the card and everything but this feels akin to my 8th birthday party wherein I was the only kid there. The Easter Bunny is just a construct, Man!
Your clients signed the card but your wife bought the chocolates five years in a row? This sounds kind of elaborate.
Right?
Sounds like the sort of lady that won’t take off without her man in tow.
What else do I don’t want to know? It’s kind of terrifying.
Long permed hair Toby Keith was the best

Just for the song title. Not the actual lyrics.
I’m out ideas. Let’s indulge all the stereotypes.

Coulda been worse. He might have taken a dump on Her Highness’ desk.
I’m tackling Mt. Beer Can. Feeding larger bags from smaller ones. It is unpleasant work. So many. How am I still alive?
This is indeed a sticky situation. At the end there will be roughly 25 bags containing 150 cans each. Again, how am I still alive?
Shalom Kiev.

If courts have favored mootness as a backstop to not hear cases of supposed fraud, why would they entertain a case against Trump that he believed his reelection attempt was fought with fraud. At this point, isn’t it moot?
Anyone with hair that silly is obviously guilty of something! Don’t you media, brah?
At this point, all they’re doing is strongly suggesting that he actually is presenting a factual or close to factual explanation for the 2020 election. And a message to anyone who would challenge them.
0925 and I’m still in my jammies watching the you tubes.

I thought it was spelt pyjamas. ?

This one is for Q. He gives me sundresses. https://youtu.be/CFmWT8gFq2Y

I only fell into the tub yesterday. No corners. #winning
Those of you watch “The Boys” anti-hero show on Amazon know that one of the quirks of the hero (played by the impossibly cute offspring of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan) has a weird affinity for Billy Joel.
I’m a Gen X gal and grew up with Billy Joel. Had all the vinyl albums. My favorite has to be “The Nylon Curtain.”
The song “Scandinavian Skies” might be my absolute favorite. I don’t even know if they released it as a single.
It has that Cold War nostalgia we need right now.

Cold War nostalgia.
Okay, Chicago did have one good tune – https://youtu.be/7uAUoz7jimg
Oh, hell yeah. 25 or six to four was their best tune. The story behind it is charming too.
Crappy band, crappy city
Ok, one more thing.
Let the record show that I would like the following two musical pieces played at my funeral:
Untitled Hymn, byChris Rice https://youtu.be/0_hV8L65Rqo
And the Masonic Funeral March by Mozart. (Don’t laugh; it goes deep in my family)
https://youtu.be/okFlNAl7HQQ
This is when Annie was the hot one before she ate the rest of the band https://youtu.be/PeMvMNpvB5M
I do hate to mention this, but that was like 40 years ago. We are allowed to get older and fatter.
They do have talent.
If there was a chart for all time jukebox plays before these “internet of things” online electronic jukeboxes, that has to be top ten?
Weight gain or no, she aged pretty well.
Perfect two-minute pop song
Three-minute pop song
Four-minute pop song
Five-minute pop song
I’m wondering what the six minuter will be. No cheating with an “extended mix” or “club mix” or something like that ☺️
November Rain, Hey Jude, and a few more I’m sure. .

Yup, beer cans bagged. 21@ 150 per. I have drank over 3000 beers since October. I am fucking superman.
That’s not even counting the “dark” ones. I might have a problem.
How much do they weigh?
They are empty-ish beers cans. Couple of pounds, maybe. Two trips to the bottle depot. They love me down there. Sorted, counted, in and out. No fucking around.
