Irony.
An absolute beautiful day here in Manly Time. The rain appears to have finally gone for a bit. I hesitate to do so on a marvelous day like this, but because of my devotion to you, the Glibs audience, I will endeavor to dive into the Links.
Biden keeps channeling his inner Gerald Ford.
So much for the panacea of central banks.
This will be interesting to follow.
Ahaha!!! Ahahahahaha!!! Try alcohol.
I was involved in a lengthy discussion this morning about why the outrage over a two second, same sex kiss in a kids animated movies. This plays into it, bigly. Rational, or not, parents have had it, for a number of different reasons.
We have dumb ass teenagers driving around here in pickup trucks with these stupid water guns, shooting at people. It was only a matter of sometime, somewhere, before somebody found out.
Okay. I’m done. My apologies for not knowing how to imbed a tune without screwing up a few phones. I’ll figure it out eventually.
Nephilium specifically requested Def Leppard today.
Music sucks but respect to Def Leppards lead singer for rocking the Def Leppard T. That’s solid megalomania right there.
It’s called merchandising you communist.
/Gene Simmons
The first two words made no sense so I stopped reading.
Spud!
Thanks for dragging yourself away from the beautiful day!
Ahaha!!! Ahahahahaha!!! Try alcohol.
No kidding. I should lock up my laptop when I imbibe. Somehow I ended up with a pair of Sheath undies.
Another for Neph.
I’m a grower, not a shower. I looked at Sheath underwear and considered them to be a waste of fabric.
Well, not everyone can wear Master Cylinder Pants.

So far, you are wrong.
If they last like my ExOfficios I’m a fan.
Spud left out the link that would have made Def Leppard appropriate.
I had been saving that link for one of you bastards with bad taste in music to link to a song that would allow me to drop it.
Uh huh.
I would rather try some of the gin from Diddly Squat Farms.

Or try going to the grocery store muggled on the dope. You’ll come home with a bottle of hot sauce, 4 ribeyes, and a 10lb bag of soybeans.
Hahahhaha!
Hey wait….
When did you start watching me?
I need to get a blood alcohol meter attachment for the computer to control access to Amazon.com…

The opening of that song is so damn cool. Great riff.
Caffeine doesn’t make you spend more. It just allows you to get your shopping done faster.

“Look we just kinda roll him for twenty feet. Just enough for a photo op. Nothing could go wrong.”
Perfect!
LOL
This is comedy gold!
You gotta wonder if they believe their own spin.
Narrator: They Do.
I have returned home after a very nice bike ride today (just over 28 miles, and the only masks were litter on the trail), so here’s the link to the Zoom/Happy Hour/Biden SNL skit pitch session. It’ll start at 20:00 Eastern, as is tradition.
Nice! In honor of our President, did you fall over when you stopped?
I did not. I did adjust my seat a bit, which threw off much more muscle memory then I expected. I had to keep double checking that I was getting the bottle back into cage instead of just trusting it was there, and banged my shin on the rear rack when I got off once.
Def Leppard made the mullet extra cool!
That AP story is ridiculously biased even for them – hard to believe, I know.
“Biden HOPS out of church to prove he wasn’t injured after falling over on his bike during ride near his Rehoboth Beach home as he and Jill spend their 45th wedding anniversary and Juneteenth weekend in Delaware”
It’s Father’s Day weekend, dipshit. You know, when the kids give 10% to the big guy.
Too bad the local bishops aren’t as committed to doctrine as Archbishop Cordileone.

Yup. I’ve been waiting to do that one.

Ouch,

And that’s not even the tip of the iceberg from the Russian stupidity. I guess the trial balloon excuse of rolling sanctions because it was disproportionately hurting ordinary Russians didn’t go as well as hoped.
Before it became clear how Putin was responding I kept thinking that, just maybe, trying to destroy the economy of a nuclear power wasn’t such a great idea. Especially if that country is run by someone you think is an evil madman.

I propose tagging them as” dead babies here” and “no dead babies here.”
I got in trouble at work for asking “smoking or non-smoking?” Turns out the preferred phrasing was “cremation or burial?”
Sick burn!
I could see how that might get someone hot under the collar.
Stunning and brave.
It was nice out today. I did some weedeatering. In nearly waist high grass.
Nice and hot here today. 🙄
I went fishing when it was 90* out and got a few nibbles but not much more. I saw a single bluegill and that was it. Maybe that’ll motivate me to get out the door earlier next time.
Earlier this week I saw someone using a weed whacker to mow their lawn, as it had been overrun with weeds.
‘We have dumb ass teenagers driving around here in pickup trucks with these stupid water guns, shooting at people. It was only a matter of sometime, somewhere, before somebody found out.’
I have very mixed feelings about this, so I’ll go with they’re all assholes.
You need to turn on the Avs/Bolts game. Good hockey.
I have very mixed feelings about this, so I’ll go with they’re all assholes.
Yeah. Being an obnoxious dumbass shouldn’t be a capital crime. Going to prison for manslaughter over getting shot with some sort of high tech squirt gun? Not cool.
My concern here was that they were going to shoot at somebody walking down the street, who was going to return fire.
Also walked down the street
How about if they’re being obnoxious twenty four hours a day, every day – basically terrorizing the neighborhood?
I believe I encouraged you to get a rifle.
What if they’re party people?
It’s unclear whether they pummeled him to death or whether this was a case of a very unlucky punch sending him to the next realm. I have much more sympathy for the latter than the former.
My concern here was that they were going to shoot at somebody walking down the street, who was going to return fire.
It could happen. I stopped to grab some beer at a convenience store the other day and the old guy in line ahead of me was open-packing a snubby revolver; looked like a .357.
I bet the old guy knew how to thread and quote properly.
Guy walking to the grocery store the other day was printing ever so slightly but the belt clip was the real giveaway.
Confess your sins against DEMOCRACY! Beg forgiveness
During Thursday’s Jan. 6 committee hearing, retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig issued a dire warning to the country. Luttig, who advised former Vice President Mike Pence, said that 17 months after the riot on the U.S. Capitol, “Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy.”
Luttig said the United States is at a crossroads similar to the one the country faced during the Civil War, and he said America needs help.
Luttig was appointed to the federal bench by George H.W. Bush and worked in both the Bush and Reagan administrations. He said in his written testimony that the U.S. is in a “war” over the nation’s democracy and that “only the party that instigated this war can end it,” calling on the Republican Party to start a reconciliation process.
Speaking to NPR on Saturday, Luttig reiterated his message that lawmakers must begin talking to each other as “fellow Americans that have a shared destiny and shared hopes and dreams for America.” But Republicans must start the process, he added.
Fuck off, you sanctimonious twat.
You can see just how laughable “draining the swamp” is. Even their own advisors were 100% in the bag for the swamp.
There’s no going back, is there?
We will see, won’t we, in the aftermath of the Roe v. Wade decision and the Nov. elections.
Reconciliation by giving into every Democrat demand? I mean, more than they already do.
It’s unclear whether they pummeled him to death or whether this was a case of a very unlucky punch sending him to the next realm. I have much more sympathy for the latter than the former.
My guess is unintentional manslaughter. But who knows?
Well, you know I’m a former judge and a lawyer, and to my knowledge, I’ve never spoken publicly a single word of politics. So count me as cynical as to politics and all politicians. Do I think that maybe these hearings can break through to some American patriots who are currently our political leaders? I hope with all my heart and soul that the hearings will break through to those political leaders.
Haha, cut it the fuck out.
OFFS!
I’ve heard it said that one never forgets how to ride a bike. Apparently that old adage never watched Biden. Maybe he didn’t forget, maybe didn’t have a bike as a kid ’cause they spent all the Biden family time sitting around the kitchen table.
I nailed it. He’s so high on drugs they just rolled him 20 feet for the photo op. At the end he just fell off like a stiff Ken doll because there is no muscle response left. It probably took at least three interns to put him in that shorts outfit for his photo op because his joints no longer bend.
Looks like he got his right foot stuck in the strap on the pedal. He got his left foot out okay before then.
At the speed he was going, and with what he was wearing, there was no need for toe cages.
He seemed fine riding it, it was the stopping and getting off that was the problem.
The best part is knowing some staffer or maybe Jill wanted to do it as a photo op and… Oops, It’s Meme Time!
I am watching Sventoonie, which is utterly irredeemable 99% of the time.
One name stood out tonight- “Lady Stankenfine.” Someone has to get that handle here.
I was about to check in but OMG the Trek with the Liberace-clone is on.
Wait until Kolchak. Then it gets better all night until like 4:00 AM.
The Night Stalker?
Yes. I can watch that all day.
I’ve seen a couple Kolchaks – good stuff. But I’m sorry, Lost in Space is crap.
Oh yes. I accidentally insulted Billy Mummy at a Sci Fi convention over it. I’ll tell the story on Zoom sometime.
He got in trouble from JMS during B5 from the episode where he rebuilt the motorcycle. He ad-llibbed some lines in the episode that the script had as Menbari prayers, but were the name of a band he was playing with.
LOL.
He redeemed himself in B5, at least the one season and change I’ve seen so far.
I’ve just booked a ticket to Europe on Iberia. Was quite happy about it. Only much later realized that Spain still has a face mask mandate on planes. Shit, I’ll have to cancel the ticket.
We traced today. We showed the power of steady performance. We finished 2d in every race and at the end of the day were 1st overall. Tomorrow will be a fun sail around the Bay and anchor at the sandbar to contemplate life.

A light turn out, but a decent start to the week. The T-line split was a meh 10/10, but we’re back to a sub 30 (26.9) average now that I’m scorekeeper. That’ll make Hype’ happy.
I won’t write a bunch more shit that nobody reads. I’ve been on a Def Leppard kick this week, so I’ll continue to with the theme Spud started: An underrated song off High ‘N’ Dry.
Hi and Dry is something different.
/points upthread to the alcohol story that would make Def Leppard relevant.
Yeah. I saw it. You, of all people, throwing shade at Leppard fans for “bad taste in music” made me chuckle and move on without comment.
I fully accept that I also have bad taste in music to others. I’m just trying to cushion the bus wheels at this point.
The plans tomorrow are to see Flogging Molly, The Interrupters, (fucking) Tiger Army (who I heard compared to Nickleback recently), and the Skints (never heard of them before),
My favorite Flogging Molly song.
I really like most of that album. Haven’t listened to it for a while. Will remedy that now.
That was their last good album. After that one the lead singer got married, and the wife made him quit drinking. Even back on that tour he faked drinking on stage by putting iced tea into a Jameson bottle. There’s a reason they’ve been on a down swing.
If you like the Irish punk, check out the Prodigals.
Wow. That’s different. A lot of musical genres mixed up in that.
I’m in a class by myself.
I thought about putting Hyperbole down there with you, but decided against it at the last minute.
Late entry:
8 3

Ah, good! You have a nice streak going, I’d hoped you’d get a score in. I’ll get it entered.
God, my brother loved that album and On Through The Night.
Not my cuppa.
is that my first champ? Not counting when I was champ of the Mythical Division.
I looked back quick and see you Champed (shared) on Quordle #111, also.

Hello, America
On Through the Night doesn’t get enough love.
On the Biden bike ride photo-op – that shit sells. My retarded mother actually cited it as proof that Biden was in good shape during the run-up to the election. Why, he can’t be losing it mentally! He was just pictured riding a bike…
So I bought my 6 year old her first real bike last Saturday. She never had trainging wheels, she had a balance bike and a scooter.
I figured I would get her started, let go, grab her before she fell, and try to go longer each time. I got her going, let go, and she took off down the street.
So balance bikes do work.
I wish we’d done that with my son. I didn’t know about them until he was already too old/big, but I think he might’ve been more comfortable on a bike if that’s the way he’d learned rather than training wheels.
This Glib had an early Father’s Day. NoDakJr had a 10U Cal Ripken baseball tournament today. Third game of the day started at 5. Starting pitcher walks the first batter, gets to 3-0 on the second batter. I don’t know what happened, but he somehow injured his wrist, so now they take my boy off second base and put him on the mound with runner on first, 3-0 count on the batter. He… thrived. Pitched four shut-out innings, one hit, one walk, seven.. yes, seven strike outs in four innings. And on one of the non-strikeouts he made a great play on a swinging bunt, he immediately charged toward home t field the ball and was able to loft it up over the base runners head to connect with the first baseman. Fuck. Yes.
You’re a proud papa.
Very much so.
And Aramgeddon it, too. Holy shit, that’s ripped straight from the soundtrack of my high school life.
That was jumped the shark time for me. I felt like I was watching a great hard rock band become a bubble gum pop band.
Oh, come on. Hysteria was a good album.
There’s some money on the table,
and a pistol on the floor.

Cigarettes and papers,

Good morning….NA! I think that’s it. And he’s probably already off, either to the dog park or the range. Well then, good morning to any lurkers!
I’m out here at TB earlier than usual on a weekend, before the sun has even risen above the trees to my left. Gotta get my bliss time in – meeting a couple of folks we’ve never met (brother of an online acquaintance to whom TT is selling a guitar) for breakfast later this morning. I’ll get my butt off the porch early for the promise of an omelet from Perkins!
Aside to MikeS: Acquired an “ant moat” from Lowe’s, and so far it seems to be working like a charm! Checked it last night, and while there were ants crawling along the large metal “S” hook hanging over the patio roof’s frame, there were NO ants at or below the moat! And because I had to improvise a small “S” hook with a paper clip to hang the feeder below the moat, it’s now easier to remove the feeder for cleaning and refilling! Thanks again for the tip! 😃
And good morning to the Quordling T’s – Tulip, Teh Hype, and Ted’S! 😉

There are things I know, not too many …and there are things I don’t know. Happy to not knowing a thing about what passes for music of the last 40 years. I know nothing about DL, other than I sold a lot of that genre to unsuspecting youth, back in the days when I was working.
Keep trying to post a nice link to some good ol’ classic rock-and-roll music for you, but I guess our new server doesn’t like The Crew Cuts. 🙁

Good Morning
Sun is coming up, supposed to be slightly cooler.
Getting tired of the heat.
It’s so cold here the heat is running. It was in the 90s a couple days ago. Stupid climate change.
We’re catching a couple days of near a 100, today and tomorrow. A couple of 90 degree days a year are not unusual but this climate change thing, wow, I should have paid attention to Al Gore. People laughed when I built my house and included AC. You’ll get this weather in 2-3 days, Rhywun
No!!!
The forecast is calling for no higher than 80 next week, thank goodness.
Currently 55 proper degrees here in SW OH, but word is we’re due for another heat wave – and some thunderstorms – next week.
I could live with 10 deg cooler or more.
Have some wet dirt to dig up.
Good Luck everyone.
