There has been entirely too much of everything else, including work. I need Kung fu films!
And what a film it is! Kung Fu Rascals has Les Claypool, Ted Smith, Cleve Hall, Matt Rose… Wait a minute – what are all those white guys in doing in this film? Is this… Yellowface??!?!? Yes it is. And nobody gave a damn then, and nobody should now. This is complete parody, and the exaggerated acting styles, outright pantomime and character profiles are all pulled from classic kung fu.
So what is it about? Courtesy IMDB user ddeuel-95694:
In order to restore their village to it’s former glory, the Kung Fu Rascals must go on a quest to find a power most…BIG. The evil Bamboo Man sends out his forces to teach the Rascals a lesson in kung fu etiquette. Who will triumph? Only the Old Wise Guy knows.
What does it mean? More importantly, will there be multiple fight scenes? Will Les Claypool play a musical number? Who knows? You must watch to find out!
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next week, we have a classic! The Man Who Came to Dinner! So put on your fancy jacket and show up on time if you want any mashed potatoes.
Listen, I draw the line at cannibalism.
Is it cannibalism if you eat grifters?
Then that would mean I’m a grifter?
There are something like 3000 potato varieties.
I think it’s OK if a Yukon Gold eats one of those little red potato’s.
One of those little red potato’s what?
Eyes?
I would make it my life’s mission to explore each one if I weren’t so lazy.
Suck on these tubers.
I ate nine ounces of potato chips today (Spicy Dill Pickle and All Dressed).
That is… impressive. I have to wait for dentures to arrive at my dentist office before I can eat another potato chip. It has been about nine months.
all-dressed FTW
That was about it though.
Sorry to hear about the dental troubles.
Holy shit, the picture quality is bad. It has to be intentional, but they way over did it.
Saw this the other day and immediately thought of you RJ.

I’d watch that for a dollar!
Nice
I should find a Kamen Rider movie to post.
I wish I could be there next week. After all, is there anyone in the world who suffers as we do from the gross inadequacies of the human race?
I’m sure there are plenty of people who suffer worse?
A quote from the dyspeptic titular dining man.
Titular sounds like a funny word.

Gonna double down w Common with a Hope injection.
I’ll be doing this. Woohoo!
As a drummer I would totally just for technical reasons.
Peter Tork was the brains behind the operation.

On a 4K TV I can barely see wtf is going on.
Yes, this is a problem.
You likely need a CRT.
You had me at Les Claypool so I checked it out real quick to see if it’d work tonight. Hrm. I flipped through it. At this momo, I believe it’s proper I abstain. Purposefully over-the top, indeed, and. Well. I suppose I’m glad they put their idea out there.
The Asian chick at the end is funny.
I loathe Primus so maybe I would enjoy this lol??
Where is everybody? There is no TNF. There shouldn’t any TNF. You have so much money your yacht has a boat, and your wife has tits that can cut glass. What do you want?
Well, I had an evening change to implement. Then I went and brainstormed plot elements for a book I’m working on.
Plus I didn’t have anything to say about RJ’s post.
I’m here but I’m thinking. Theoretically start work Monday. Wanna see if I can get my desired schedule.
Their background check screening was goofy to the goofiest. I had to document where i’ve lived the last ten years. The AI chat helpfully said, eventually, that I put in the country, city and 123 Main Street. I put in 12345 as the necessary zip, cuz. Well, why not?
It didn’t go through correctly, but I assume it won’t matter much. I will mention it.
Actually working and checking comments.
Ha I g a tea party in the loft with the girl while the boy plays pinball.
It’s been a couple months since we’ve been up here.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
The Brown Album is fantastic, and Sailing the Seas of Cheese is memorable. All over the top, but purposeful. I can very easily see folk not being into him. I don’t know his other work, other than South Park and other Our Kind of Guy stuff.
I was kidding about the Asian chick being funny. Well. She is, but MST3k funny, but painfully so. This seems like grifty money (a grant to make *A* movie?! Well. This is that!), but it’d be wild if it were the exact image of what the creator thought it could be. Andy Kaufman style.
Speaking of him: I really don’t like most of his stuff, or him, but there’s something there. His SNL skit being nervous, only doing one part of the Micky Mouse song.. is fucking hilarious. Ballsy hilarious. Never seen an EP of Taxi. Upset I haven’t seen Man in the Moon. Hard to stream for some reason.
@Rhy. Wrong spot. Huh.
@ Three: At first read I thought your boy was playing pinball while you were in the loft with your boy’s feminine friend. We need OMWC to sniff your hair. He can detect fellow kiddie snatchers.
My kids get to play in the loft.
The orphans stay in the crawlspace.
Mighty Mouse.
He was really endearing as Latka on Taxi. (Mmm, potatoes again…) Do you like Carol Kane? She was his GF / fiancée / wife.
I only ever saw Taxi in passing. The only likeable character was Danny DeVito’s.
Ibi da!

I like to think I would have stayed for his full reading of Gatsby.
Alley-oop to TOG! I couldn’t think of where the “Here I come to save the daaaay!” came from!
Carol Kane’s fantastic. I knew of DeVito’s role in it.
Has anybody posted this yet?
That’s fantastic!
He was a pretty fun follow.

So sad.
Anyway.
Yeah, I can’t anything to that.
Learn to… well, do anything productive.
can’t “add”
A fitting legacy to Woodstein no doubt.
*chef’s kiss*
Also mashed potatoes
Hairspray feels rather Thursday night, but Polyester or Female Trouble might be more suitable, if not done already.
I’m going to call my doctor tomorrow, I have a list of about 25 new meds I saw on TV that encouraged me to call and see if they were right for me. Now that Trump is making them more affordable I can afford to buy them.
Beware the anal leakage.
LOL:

That right there, is fuckin’ funny. *mwah*
Woah. “It’s Official: TrumpRx Makes Direct-to-Consumer Prescription Drug Pricing a Thing
—
In a cursory search for the term “Diabetes,” the site quickly brought up popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Monjauro, Ozempic, and Wegovy. The listed prices were 10 percent or less of the normally listed retail prices. Trump discussed the benefits of TrumpRX.gov for the most popular pharmaceuticals. — “AstraZeneca’s slashing the price of a common inhaler from $458 to $51 — a difference of nearly 800%.” —
I love the website is TrumpRx, so even if they have to lie about not liking cheaper meds, they have to say his name. See also: Musk’s brilliant (no snark) rename to “X.” I’m sure I don’t follow and am missing many things, but it’s a step closer to Heroin and coke sold OTC.
Huh. I didn’t read the whole thing, but for a moment I imagined folk could get shit w/o a Rx, and maybe that’s sorta trueish. (Isn’t.) I strongly approve of Trump poking Dems w shit they should approve of, but obviously can’t now. Simple, smart strat.

OT: Even if we grant that the US is on stolen land, why would that mean that “nobody is illegal” on said stolen land? How does it follow that everyone from anywhere in the world gets to come here because (for the sake of argument) the Wypipo stole the land from the Indians? The Indians are still here; they’re already inside the border.
That’s like if I defrauded the old lady next door out of the deed to her house, lived in it for a while, eventually got busted, but then the court declared that since I stole it, it’s now a communal house where literally anyone can come in and make themselves at home.
I know it’s just a dumb one-liner made by a dumb celebrity at a dumb ceremony and, in all likelihood, preplanned by her agent to generate publicity. But I enjoy picking apart how things can be wrong on multiple levels.
It’s stupid bumper sticker politics. Their minds can’t comprehend fully realized arguments, so they have it condensed down into the dumbest possible way. In this case, “No one is illegal on stolen land.” These people have the comprehension ability of a potato.
All land is stolen land except for maybe wherever it is the African bushmen are wandering around.
Nope. Unless you picked it up and carted it off, you didn’t steal the land.
Applying current-year sensibilities to the actions of the dead in order to encourage collective guilt is one of the laziest, most dishonest arguments around. By design, it is intended that you can’t even argue against it.
Most current-day “sensibilities” are not even held by many current day people.
Current day political sensibilities are held by minorities of very vocal people generally. Ninety percent of the people may either be indifferent or disagree but it’s the squeaky wheel ten percent that gets the grease.
By “current-year sensibilities” I had in mind moving to another territory and fighting and/or treatying to win that land. At least in western countries that sort of thing is almost universally frowned upon now. Back then, it wasn’t.
I still say we should annex Denmark and set up a reservation for the Ethnic Danes.
Haha! So I noted in a FB post the dishonesty in the use of “normal” to describe temperature. It should be “average.”
The weatherman “corrected” me, stating that “Normal” is a “smoothed over statistical average of the last 30 years.”
So a made up criteria using “smoothed over” statistics designed by NOAA as a means to describe weather, specifically temperature, in the scariest terms possible.
That’s not dishonest at all.
What is the SI unit for “smooth”…?
Rare occasion for me to kick off the good morning comments. [Volunteering a grave shift.]
Good morning, JI, Ted’S., Sean, and Suthen!
Morning.
I woke up late with my shoulder quite unhappy about the way I’d been sleeping on it. I had to skip pre-commute commenting to get on the road. My walkman got so cold that it was throwing a temperature error when I got in my car, but I got it working again. The grocery store where I was going to get a breakfast salad had lost power the whole overnight, so they had roped off all of the refrigerated/frozen foods for disposal as per procedures. (Can’t risk having had the food go over temp from ambient air inside warming them before the store itself cooled off to the point where it was moot.) So I’m having a scrounger’s breakfast of mostly beef jerky.
Good morning, U!
I can sympathize with the shoulder trouble – when my alarm went off this morning, my right hand was so numb I couldn’t feel the button on top of the clock to shut it off. Had to get out of bed to use my left hand to stop the beeping.
I woke up from a nightmare in the wee hours, a bad dream that ended with a guy about to put a bag over my head and abduct me. I think I tried to scream in my sleep. I’m certain this dream was provoked by my recent data breach troubles.
I’m so sorry.
I hope you can find some peace and better sleep.
One of the first things I’m going to do after I get my laptop back with Linux Mint on it is close my Microsoft account. Someone is still trying to get into it. This morning I found an email indicating someone was trying to open a Hytale account, whatever the hell that is, with my email address. 😒
😣
Good morning. I was up at three but did not check Glibs! Heck of a work week.
For the “sometimes I just like the headlines” people, there’s something darkly amusing about the sneer quotes in this headline:
Man caught ‘manipulating his genitals’ near town of Ulster ‘business designated for children,’ police say
The article doesn’t name the business.
Taking a whiz? Jerking off? Tying it into a bow? I need more detail before I can be appropriately outraged.
Wakey, wakey. Time to kick some ass.

HBD Axl!
🎶🎶
What did the burros do thisd time?
G&R back before Axl flew up his own ass was a breath of fresh air. Time for the retirement home Brett Michaels and Kip Winger.
Ugh that album was inescapable my freshman year of college. Blasting out of every dorm room except mine and the Rush fan across the hall.
Tilting at windmills: The leftist people are Machiavellian as hell. There is no lie they will not tell, no line they will not cross. In fact their rules are to never tell the truth, never be consistent, have no shame and to deliberately rub people’s nose in the most absurd hypocrisy imaginable so everyone understands they have a different set of rules.
In the end there is only one way to deal with them. Trying to engage with them is a waste of time.
The smarter ones who are organizing this nonsense are Machiavellian and they’re the truly dangerous ones who should be legally pursued. The less smart and the emotional are just disjointed and scatterbrained which leads to inconsistency and being easily manipulated. The shrill goobers out in the street have the minds of children and they’re also the ones who pay the price and, yes, trying to engage with them is a fool’s errand.
suh’ fam
yo whats goody
Good morning!
Boss is big mad, but directing it at coworkers. So I’m keeping my mouth shut.
Any reason you can share?
He just gets up on the wrong side of the bed some days.
