I’m making up for last week by doing three Links in a row.
I had one more hilarious reminder of my kavorka in the form of a local crazy lady who buttonholed me, kept trying to invite herself over, and wouldn’t let me politely exit. Fortunately, one of our baristas (who is remarkably smart and perceptive) spotted what was happening and rescued me. “We’re having a problem with the Prosecco, can you come into the back and help us out?”
Bless that girl. And fuck the Links.
I dearly hope for this, the comedy will be priceless.
Well, half of that sounds pretty good.
And if my grandma had wheels, she’d be a bicycle. You let them in, they’re there to stay.
“You fucked up, you trusted us.”
A pencil-neck soyboy loon is, to be fair, an actual representative of that district.
“Don’t worry, it’s not like it’s contagious. Trust us, we have a great track record.”
Now that is a policy I can support.
Molly Tuttle is the best bald guitarist alive today. Fucking excellent singer and rocks them thigh-highs.
Same poor Mexican trucker link duplicated.
Also some women you just don’t need to see nude…
Fix-ed.
The truly bizarre part is Weiner is actually the “establishment Democrat” candidate, not the leftist insurgent.
That’s delicious. The dude who enjoys hanging out in assless chaps at outdoor sex parties will struggle to be “progressive” enough for that place.
So that district is gay and aids infected?
The human bell-ringing of Florentina Holzinger was the main draw in the giardini
The artist’s barely disguised fetish.
“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is leaving the door open for a presidential run in 2028. ”
I don’t find this the least bit funny. If she runs she’ll get 48% of the ballots being cast, and who knows what rampant cheating would happen to get her over the electoral line.
It is frightening to contemplate that eventually the Democrats will have a ’28 candidate for president. There isn’t one that I can think of that isn’t crippled in one way or another.
Beshear maybe? He only pokes his head out when necessary.
Although much of COVID stupidity can be hung on his neck like sending troopers to chuch ladies sitting in cars tuned to the radio.
Its going to have to be a no name senator but capturing that magic again will be a hard sell.
So AOC it is!
Although much of COVID stupidity can be hung on his neck like sending troopers to chuch ladies sitting in cars tuned to the radio.
The Covid stupidity doesn’t matter. If it did, Ron DeSantis would be president.
This.
100% this.
Presumably (and hopefully) not the same local crazy lady with the trouble-making crazy son. Given what we know about the demographics of the town, you’re bound to have a higher percentage of local crazy ladies than even the general U.S. population.
This one made the crazy-son’s-mom look normal. What they had in common was their irresistible attraction to my animal magnetism.
BTW, when I told Prime about this, she laughed and then told me that I actually *did* have the kavorka.
They saw the video and want a piece, didn’t they?
Animal magnetism and a Social Security check aren’t the same, OM.
I have the lure of the animal.
Women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Fourscore…and I do not deny them my essence.
I confess I had to look up kavorka, but in my defense it wasn’t in the dictionary when I went to skool.
The time I got molested by a woman old enough to be my mother at a brewery, the girlfriend laughed at me. And laughed harder when the woman’s abashed kids came rushing over.
PA State Senate votes to end emissions inspections. The bill heads to the PA House where its future is uncertain.
The state Senate on Wednesday passed a bill that would end Pennsylvania’s emissions inspection program for non-commercial vehicles, splitting the legislative body along regional lines.
The program — well-known to motorists as the second inspection sticker that goes on their windshields every year — has been around since the federal government first started pushing the idea in the 1990s.
Emissions inspections are required in the 25 counties that are more densely populated and have the most chronic air quality issues. For years, more rural, conservative lawmakers have fought to exempt additional counties — or every county, as the most recent bill would do.
The reverse NJ. We kept emissions and ditched the safety inspection.
I’m surprised NJ ditched any inspection and the required fee.
Bit of your making money, we need an extra slice of it.
I miss you Old Man. I will get on the Zoom again soon. Lots of work pressure over here.
I haven’t been there much in the past few months. Which is a pity, I want to show up and see everyone, but it’s great because I’ve been off galivanting with Prime.
When is that intro?
Besides WebDom, 10b0t, and Spud, she’s met Neph, Warty, Swiss, Mexican, db, and (yes) SugarFree, and didn’t run away screaming.
Sure, Prime hasn’t met a single Honey Harvest attendee (yet). You’ve been picking and choosing the Glibs for her and avoiding
flyover Glibs for the most part.
That’s a good idea but still…
I’ll be zooming in about an hour.
Fourscore:
Oi!
Cleveland defines flyover. But based on the football schedule and my employment status, I may make Honey Harvest this year.
I had a verified milestone today.
I fit into my old clothes. They’re not “Thin” clothes, but they are “Less Fat” clothes.
In another bit of positive vibes, I built my cutom “Power-Only Hat” for the Pi 4B, and it is running the machine, leaving the onboard USC-C port to be used as a mass storage emulator for the 3D Printer.
All of this is excellent. I must have willed you all my mojo, because the past week here has been absolute balls. I may need that mojo back soon.
But I don’t want to lose my momentum.
Sorry about the lousy week.
Good for you. While fat (for me) my weight is holding steady and not necessitating I buy new clothes.
However, I saw my doc for a checkup Friday. My A1C was expressed in scientific notation. I need to change my diet back to when I was doing low-carb. But 80% of each week in a hotel?
I dont have the self-discipline for that.
From the dead thread where in NJ are you going?
I may be able to offer suggestions where to go if you have any down time.
But 80% of each week in a hotel?
Travel like that is murder on diet/exercise (and good sleep).
I’ll be just across the river from NYC.
Woodbridge, NJ
Only place I know there is the mall unfortunately!
Metropark Station is close if you want to get to NYC, however.
30 minute train ride.
Good to know.
However, I’m likely looking at 12 hours on-site each day. So probably back to my hotel for too many beers and Applebee’s.
For one dinner I’d recommend heading over to Basking Ridge to Hills of Herat; one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
That’s an hour plus from there.
I’ll bookmark the restaurant, however.
They have another location in Martinsville. Still close to 45 minutes to an hour, however from there.
Congratulations UCS
😁👍
Thanks
Maybe already covered, but Bobby Cox passed away.
RIP. I liked him. The 90s Braves were a lot of fun, and they were a damn good default ‘2nd team’ to root, thanks to T Turner. They won the World Series! Once!!
(Ouch. Also against the Indians. Both of those teams were damn, damn, damn good.)
Mexican told me that he admired any manager who could get tossed in the first inning.
Of course my personal hero was Earl Weaver, who got tossed during the exchange of lineup cards.

I spent the last half of the day bagging, post ‘cut tops off boxes’ duty. They’re pretty happy to pinch hit me around. On pretty solid tasks. Bagging kinda sucks, but ain’t the worst. I really, really don’t want them to ever put me on cashier. Me absolutely no wanty. (Well. I did it in the station, I s’pose. Guh. They don’t sell smokes inside, at least. That’s a fun maze to unlearn.)
Drive thru Panera is working surprisingly well on all levels, Cubs start in 10, and I don’t have any work tomorrow. This is rather nice. First time kinda having two jobs. Driving home, was thinking how I’m not scheduled at all at Meijer. So I was thinking why we need a dog-walker to help while M&D are away for a couple days. Then I remembered I’ll be working at my ‘actual’ job and the timing doesn’t sync.
Ah. That is kinda nice. Hope it’s a restful and/or productive day for the rest of yous guys’. I’ll read about and see.
I really, really don’t want them to ever put me on cashier.
That’s what self-checkout is for.
Yes. But self-checkout is also a duty one can be trained in. I *really* don’t want that one. They have more to do than one would think, w our 14 self-check registers.
My goal is to avoid responsibility. I likely only have 2.5 weeks of test scoring left. I’ll add responsibilities when needed, but now? Pure ‘stay in the system’ mode.
Back in my fast food days, drive thru was the best, register was next, kitchen came after that, and dishwasher was the worst position.
It’s possible the other guy deserved it
The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County says it is reviewing its policies and taking responsibility after a dog being showcased for adoption at the Tacoma City Marathon fatally attacked another attendee’s pet.
The dog involved, identified by witnesses as “Dallas,” was reportedly wearing an “Adopt Me” vest and was accompanied by a Humane Society volunteer at the time of the attack.
Chew on that for a while.
The dog was in the mood for Chinese food?
Was it a Chow?
a dog being showcased for adoption at the Tacoma City Marathon fatally attacked another attendee’s pet.
There’s a spot open.
Maybe two.
This is why I come here.
At least my Fish didn’t find a way to lose again today.
And the people of California just do not care.
Well ALL babies is a stretch of course in a Soviet bloc.
Big corps have overlapping board member but they dont have the power to legally steal…yet.
Well according to Axios Momflation is the reason why.
They really cant do demand/supply can they ?
Seems like that would conflict with the pro-abortion stance of most Democrats.
It’s true. The voters, as a whole, don’t. We are more or less at service level bankruptcy and the state has a structural deficit in the tens of billions of dollars. The only thing that will change this is the bond market.
Ugh I thought Sundance didn’t censor films but they just omitted Elaine giving Otto a blowjob so I’m out.
Emergency inflation nozzle!
Scott Wiener is the nastiest gay pedo from CA since Harvey Milk.
Elaine was giving the blowjob, not Scott Wiener.
Unacceptable!
That’s what they chose to cut?!? That’s crazy.
Hey everyone.
My calander has improved and i should be going to Hayes’s funeral Monday. If any one else is going to be there please shoot me an email.

I’m here. Will email in a bit.

Nice roundup of Lil Marco, man of many hats memes.
My sister had her fifth after a short, uneventful two-hour labour. The baby looks like this. We can’t stop laughing. It’s a bittersweet feeling after her oldest daughter’s passing, but I’m so, so happy for this for them.
labour crimony I’ve been reading too many British tabloids. I meant baby-pushing-outing
I thought she’d been workin’ hard and decided to unwind with a whole bottle of somethin’. I’d love to look like Vizinni. I was an ugly, ugly baby. Bro was photogenic from first breath. That didn’t work out for me. A big shock of hair, just from my widow’s peak. Kinda slicked back over my scalp.
I looked very displeased. (may have been a prescient infant, concerning national affairs)
Even, you were a beautiful baby. Babies can’t help but be wonderful. Teenagers, less so. They do drastic, sometimes inconceivable things.
I was a cute kid. Not as an infant. (To parents, yes. They’re deluded, bathed in chemicals. Untrustworthy, they.)
I love Kramer’s line when *he’s* the one asked “Who’s the baaaaby look like?!”
“Lyndon Johnson.”
“He’s kidding.”
“No, I really think she looks like him.”
Mini-(nephew)-Me is, 5.5, at a perfect “Stop growing up” age. He’s exhausting, tho not so much for this non-parent. Dad and I are taking him and the 11yo out tomorrow. Mostly to buy time for the near-13yo’s parents to see his big music performance.
The near 13yo had a track meet today, ran a 5:51 mile. Kid’s freakishly, predictably like my bro.
So. I check in at the hotel in Duncan, Oklahoma, and within 15 minutes I’m listening to a Reddit cliche, wondering where my popcorn is. I have got to get that poor front desk girl out of this town.
I was on the Zoom, Mojeaux popped on, we got two sentences in, and laptop barfed. Nobody there now.
Waiting on husband to vacate the water closet to see what we’re doing for dinner.
I’m still bummed that I couldn’t make the trip.
I searched far and wide during my pre-trip research, and couldn’t find a breakfast joint named Duncan Donuts.
I am disappoint.
There is absolutely a Duncan Donuts. Passed it on the way in.
Family will be gone a few days next week. I’d like to get some zoomin’ done ’round then.
That’s got to be a euphemism.
Oooh, good call. ‘Twasn’t, but ’twill be.
and the porn music started playing out of the aether.
That may be the one thing that would put the fear of god into OMWC.
I wish. She’s a total cutie with a delightful Russian accent.
So much for the zoom on my end. Two bars of LTE. Not happening.
I’m on the side of a hill above Wenatchee WA. Not even in a hole as usual. Well a bit of an excavated box canyon I guess.
May basho starts today/tonight/now. Enho is looking like a champ and will eligible to hold elder stock either now or at the end of the tournament. Meaning he can retire and either go into coaching or can participate in sumo governing body. Fantastic comeback for the little guy!

Too fuckin’ early to be at the airport for business travel.
Happy Mother’s Day to any birthing people who have birthed any people.
