Yes, it is that time again. Spud slept in, woke up and surveyed the day, and determined that clothes beyond what I slept in were unnecessary.
It’s a Saturday luxury. Lay around, watch football, snooze. Totally different from every other day in my life.
Links anyone?
Nothing says Halloween like a stampede of death.

Let’s keep the theme going.
Anybody have a wrist rocket?
I have an overwhelming desire to shoot Hunter Biden in the Anthony Weiner.
Also, I hate pants.
This has to be a Shogun reference, right? I’m not crazy, the typeface and the whole cover motif is pure Clavell. What else could it be?
Shibumi was written 4 years after Shogun so it could just be a zeitgeist thing. Also it’s a great book, As are all Trevanian novels I thought he only wrote six but looking this up I see he wrote one in 2005 after I figured he was done writing so thanks for that.
Trevanian wrote “The Eiger Sanction” which later was a Clint Eastwood movie.
Fun climbing trivia bits. They filmed part of the movie on the lower parts of the north face of the Eiger. The sandstone tower climbed as part of his training program in the movie is actually “The Totem Pole” and is on the Navajo rez. It, and the entire reservation, was closed to climbing by the Navajo authorities since the various formations were “sacred”. Several 10’s of thousands of dollars to the tribal coffers apparently made the Totem Pole unsacred.
Thank you! I had no idea.
“Needs salt”
They’ll have to go to the Old Testament for that.

No. Just no.
The new COVID-19 subvariants that are becoming dominant all over the world arenât just more contagious than previous variants and subvariantsâthey might cause more severe disease, too.
Might, or might not.
Thatâs an ominous sign if, as experts predict, thereâs a new global wave of COVID in the coming months. Itâs one thing to weather a surge in infections that mostly results in mild disease. Cases go up but hospitalizations and deaths donât. But a surge in serious disease could lead to a surge in hospitalizations and deaths, too.
Could, or could not.
It could be like 2020 or 2021, all over again. The big difference is that we now have easy access to safe and effective vaccines. And the vaccines still work, even against the new subvariants.
Does this nonsense still work on anyone with three neurons to rub together? Something tells me that, other than coof-spooked geriatrics who want to live forever and the permanently brain-broken, no one’s paying attention to the self-appointed experts anymore.
There’s a fair portion of government that’s paying attention and waiting for a reason to go back to more draconian measures.
“coof-spooked geriatrics”
A lot have learned the Fool Me Once and are not going to be caught in the Fool Me Twice part. Some of those I’ve talked to are not getting the booster(s) since they didn’t prevent the ‘Vid anyway.
Skeptics like the Fourscores are not worried about the old or new varieties.
Pooh is.

Huge homebuilding company puts new subdivision’s driveways through Florida Man’s right-of-way.
Rather than resort to violence or letting the lawyers sort things out, our Florida Man gets creative.
That got a laugh out of me. And if it does get violent, Florida Man is already one step ahead for clean up.

Richmond Can Remove Last Confederate Statue, Judge Rules
Now is the time to erect a statue of everyone’s favorite Richmond glib to fill the void. Unfortunately, Cynthia Plaster Caster is unavailable, last seen hanging out with Lou Reed, so we need to find an up and coming sculptor to rise to the occasion.
On public property, the voters can decide whom to honor, with a statue, whom to remove when they become repugnant or irrelevant, and whom to ignore entirely. There are plenty of visible, yet privately owned, spaces where admirers can place statues to people such as Stonewall Jackson, STEVE SMITH, Joe and Dr. Biden, Michele Obama, Woodrow Wilson, Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, etc.
On public property, the voters can decide whom to honor, with a statue, whom to remove when they become repugnant or irrelevant, and whom to ignore entirely
Fair enough. Though the Confederacy is still held with some regard by many Virginians living outside of the cities. I pass several stars and bars flags flying from neighbors whenever I leave my house. And that’s the very small percentage that publicizes it. Make no mistake that Richmond is removing these statue for the reason of irrelevance or repugnance, but rather the Dems are doing so with the full intention of causing further division between Virginians, especially rural vs. urban, and even more to show their disdain for the group that Hilary labeled the deplorables.
It’s fucking Orangemen parading through traditional Catholic neighborhoods.
They should change the name of Richmond to help purge its connection to the Confederacy.

Finally, the healing can begin.
OK, OT, and apropos of nothing, but I get a monthly letter from one of my old high schools.
Here is the opening sentence written by the Executive Principal (top of the heap):
“[current academic period] ends with a long depth of field to our lens to ensure we keep the current, near and more distant futures in focus.”
Apart from any jargon in there, how is that even a grammatically correct sentence. I’ve kept a whole bunch of these over the last year. Embarrassing.
I can parse it, but I’m more upset by the lack of the Oxford comma.
Well, that’s because of where it’s written, but it’s still a badly phrased sentence.
Exactly
I believe that the Principal is possessed by the spirit of Phil Proctor.

Overall, I’m rooting for a Game 7. I’d prefer the Phils to win, but Game 7 is priority. Game 1 was All-Time Classic good. Damn.
The 90-day probation-period type thing in my new gig is up in 12 days. Hrm. I am not sure how they or I want to proceed. I’ll think about it, but I’m not exactly sure what that means, other than I won’t really think about it. Hrm.

At Least 149 Killed in Stampede at Seoul Halloween Celebration
An estimated 76 people suffered injuries in the cityâs Itaewon club district
https://www.wsj.com/articles/halloween-celebrations-in-seoul-lead-to-stampede-possible-injuries-11667064286
But this next part’s kind of strange. Unless if they are saying several young people suddenly dropping dead at once caused the stampede. But that still leaves the question of why several young people just simultaneously dropped. Maybe it’s translation confusion. There was no other cause mentioned.
It’s definitely strange, I’m going with OD’s then a massive freak-out.
Alien death ray.
Pretty sure it was MAGA.
I read something about that in the links.
Shit, sorry Spud.
;P
To be fair, nobody reads the links.
I read everybody’s comments on them. Does that count?
You’re a mensch.
I hate I-95 and DMV drivers. Two hours each way to go 71 miles.
It’s not a surprise that Department of Motor Vehicles people can’t drive.
I’m struggling to guess what else it could stand for.
I was thinking maybe Delmarva, but I don’t know where the not-so well-dressed rat is from.
I think it’s the DC metro area. Delaware – Maryland – Virginia.

Really odd thing that pelosi’s visitor has fallen off the media.
Almost like something is wrong with the narrative.

We’ll see if that goes anywhere.

When she turned around? *chef’s kiss*
@ KK: I just now read part three of your high seas/Caribbean planespotting adventure. Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the whole series, and especially the pics and alt-text in part the third. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Before your series I said there’s no fucking way I’d go on a cruise. Now I’m only pretty sure I never wouldn’t.
To be fair, there aren’t many cruise ships docking in North Dakota.
Cruise ship inequity is real.
Inlanders hardest hit.
I live in a cruise ship desert! Where’s my reparation$?!
Sorry Mike. I shall have a champagne toast in Vegas to your pain.
Just saw the Mirage volcano for the last time. Heading back tomorrow. Next time I am here those heathens from Hard Rock will have replaced it with a guitar. Where are my reparations!!
Are you seeing an University of NoDak people around down there? They’d be wearing green. We had two hockey games down there this weekend and our hockey fans travel well. There should be many thousands of them around. Say “hi” to them for me.
Mike, I was at this NoDak vs Wisconsin hockey game. We were sitting about 3 rows up from the boards by the penalty boxes. Never seen anything like it. 10 guys in the 2 boxes at the same time. Everyone but the goalies. It was like Slapshot on the ice for a while.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvjqW5pAuAg
North Dakoda kicked their ass that night. They were WAY bigger, faster and better. There were a lot of vicious hits on the boards throughout the game.
I hope there weren’t any fights, because if there were it wouldn’t be good hockey. đ
Ahhh…the good old days. If that happened today, none of those guys would be playing for a game or two. In fact, ’07…maybe a guy or two did lose a game from that. That would have been about when they were starting to crack down on fighting.
I’m trying to watch Hostel on IFC and I absolutely hate every character and it’s not even a half hour in. What is up with these movies where the dude-bros are so fucking loathesome?
Debating whether to throw a DVD in.
You’re supposed to hate them. It makes the impending torture more bearable.
That was my guess.
Sticking with it for now.
Well, hang in there, they likely die soon*.

Is it a Babylon 5 CD?
Er, DVD.
I’m on S03E12 but felt like something else tonight.

I meant calling a DVD a CD. I guess he didn’t call it a tape, so that’s good.

‘Elon Musk’s Twitter roils with hate speech as trolls test new limits’
lol, they’re so predictable. Also, ‘hate speech’ should always use scare quotes. fuck them and their evil concepts.
I’ve returned to Twitter to see how it goes. No, not the return of people I can ignore but how Twitter treats those I can ignore.
How much of the supposed hate speech is due to leftists trying to throw a wrench in the gears in an attempt to spook advertisers I wonder.
A lot.
I wouldnât be surprised if major media companies were sponsoring the activity so they could report on it.
Considering the major media companies are a hive of groupthink scum, thatâs absolutely a possibility, a likelihood even.

‘Left-wing activists harass conservative reading Bible, steal book and rip it up, protester eats pages’
I was thinking yesterday that a society where few people vote is potentially a good thing- it can mean people are generally happy with the direction of society and don’t expect big changes in direction. All the contentious politics and increased turnout is actually more dangerous. thoughts?
Remember when you vote, your vote counts the same as those from people who are swayed by campaign ads. There are more of them than you.
IQ, normal distribution, half are on the left end by definition: Hell yes itâs better when fewer people vote.
This Kari Lake interview is…. different. I haven’t really been following her, but I’ve heard some people talking about her running for president already. She seems a little bombastic to me, and it appears way too early to think about a presidential campaign.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/10/28/kari_lake_propagandist_journalists_will_run_with_any_story_that_benefits_democrats.html
Regarding Hobbs, how is she even a contender? With all the election shenanigans that went on in Arizona, she should have been recalled or impeached.
Lake is a bombastic and ambitious politician that knows the ins and outs of the media and she likes attention. Unlike Trump though, she seems wily and capable but people with her characteristics often get themselves in hot water. If she can govern well and not do or say anything too stupid sheâll be formidable.
Yeah, but I get the feeling that she will have issues. Just my first impression. And that is course assumes she wins when going against a candidate that gets to count the votes.
Media carrying water for Team Blue, I’d guess.

â Yes. We just heard everything that was said there. We need you to understand, Dr. Alexander, President Trump has no power.â This is the exact terms and I want to be able to say it. âPresident Trump has no power. He canât tell us in the bureaucracy what to do. He has none. This president has no power. None. Zero. We are telling you, bring your equipment or we will come for it. And you come and you resign by 4:00. We run the government. President Trump runs nothing.â Thatâs the exact words. âWe run the government. President Trump runs nothing. So, we expect you here in about 15 minutes.â And they put down the phone.â

Point of order- AspercremeÂź contains trolamine salicylate. Im pretty sure thats some flavor of aspirin (salicylic acid).
Trolamine salicylate (Aspercreme, Aspergel) is an organic compound which is the salt formed between triethanolamine and salicylic acid.
