End of the Retarded Waitress saga- she got fired. Spud had the pleasure of doing the deed.

Enjoying a visit from Pie while Spud is in town and a few other close friends are dropping by. We’re heading to a set of winery appointments today, so I don’t have time to do actual links- they’re in your hands. Discuss.

But I will drop in birthdays today, including SugarFree’s nemesis; one of the signers of the Declaration; a featured player in the first Three Stooges short; a guy who could shoot straight; a guy who truly believed; a brilliant performer who served his duke well; a character actor who was in EVERYTHING; a guy who started a salutary family tradition; a woman simultaneously passed over for what she did and credited with far more than she did; a guy who was against the Vietnam war after he was for it; a woman with two heads; a brilliant and creative guy who died far too young; another guy who died far too young (and was a great argument for the Second Amendment); and a guy who was all sweetness and light.

And now fill in the blanks. Here’s some music to help you out.

    ” Spud had the pleasure of doing the deed.”

    But who fired her?

  2. Chipping Pioneer

    Was there a final straw that led to her firing? Or was it more of an “It’s just not working out”?

    • Sean

      She wasn’t maintaining the sourdough.

        So, you are saying OM

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        So, you are saying OMWC was too “soft” on her?

    “ End of the Retarded Waitress saga “

    Awww. 😢

    • (((Jarflax

      Having experience in the hospitality industry I am confident another will be along shortly.

      • juris imprudent

        School will soon be back in session so no lack of candidates.

  4. EvilSheldon

    Connections is kicking my ass this morning. I feel as retarded as your ex-waitress.

    Have fun with Pie! Don’t do anything the rest of us wouldn’t!

    • (((Jarflax

      It was the first time I did not get a purple first (apologies Bro) in weeks.

      • EvilSheldon

        I finally gave up after figuring out blue and yellow. Fuck it, I’m gonna go dryfire for a while.

    Uh-oh. Did you invite Pie in?

    • rhywun

      Pro-tip: If you want to stop the crooked commie, try not to be crooked yourself.

      lol The Dems sure are delivering their usual best. 🙄

    • rhywun

      More than half of Democratic voters said they viewed democratic socialists favorably, while only about one in 10 viewed them unfavorably.

      Which is exactly why the commies are taking over the party.

  7. juris imprudent

    Musk verbally backhands snotty bitch from the Economist.

    I don’t care how much you hate the media, it isn’t enough.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Wait just a minute there, Nazi Germany had safe cities so what are you insinuating?

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        Well played, Stinky.

        Well. Played.

    • rhywun

      He should ask the snotty bitch why people are getting arrested for flying the national flag and/or stating obvious facts about the cultural enrichers she and all her friends are so normally enamored with.

    • Fourscore

      That’s the first time I’ve ever gotten through a captcha. Either I’m getting better or it was a lot easier.

    Dear Abby read a whole lot into that letter that wasn’t written.

    Maybe she’s a commenter here.

    ““First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old….

    The goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial project funded by lefty Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz…

    The dolls began as a University of Minnesota research project, which was later spun into a commercial venture — “MyGender Dolls” — by two licensed psychologists who are professors at the medical school….

    The scandal-plagued governor was even pictured with a wide grin alongside Medical School Associate Professor Nic Rider — co-founder of MyGender Dolls, which is bringing the radical dolls to market…

    Rider, a psychologist who specializes in children and teen transgender health, goes by they/them pronouns, according to a bio on the medical school’s website.

    They didn’t return The Post’s request for comment. Neither did Associate Professor Dianne Berg, the other co-founder, but in a since deleted 2020 article in a university publication, she boasted about genitals being a key part of the twisted research project.

    “Everyone should be learning that there’s diversity in gender identity and that what makes you real is not what your body parts are, but how you think and feel,” she told the university’s Discovery Magazine, adding she had already begun using the dolls with her own patients, who were between 5 and 10 years old.”

        Lorena said she threw the penis out of her car window. What was never reported was that it hit the windshield of the guy driving behind her.
        What did he say? “Jesus! Look at the size of the cock on that bug!”

    • Threedoor

      What is in the water over there?

  10. EvilSheldon

    Second ‘Detachable Penis’ reference in less than a month, nicely done.

  11. DrOtto

    Pretty sure the non-DSA dems are the ones out of lockstep with their party. Every loud & proud dem I know is all in on the DSA shit.

    • rhywun

      Right? It’s like they were all waiting for this moment the whole time. Now that communism is cool again they are giddily cheering it on.

    • DrOtto

      I think he’s in the beatings will continue until morale improves stage of his presidency.

      • juris imprudent

        He’s going to make EVERYONE welcome the end of his term, isn’t he?

    • creech

      Irradiate produce and toxic b.s. in Washington . End of term? Just about everyone is already wishing his term was over. It is hard to imagine how many bowls of popcorn we will need to see us through the next two Dem controlled House years.

    • rhywun

      “harm reduction”

      I have seen that buzzword before. Typically in connection with drug dens where addicts can legally shoot up. So probably a typical nasty leftist.

    • Threedoor

      She 100% looked like the kind of woman who would yell “I’ll stab a bitch!” That I imagined.

  12. Mojeaux

    Okay, look. I’ve had about all of Angine de Poitrine I can take. Shit’s weirdly addictive, but it does wear on one’s aural sensitivities.

    • (((Jarflax

      Bronze Age boobs all decayed long ago. Fatty tissue goes fast, even mummies don’t keep their tits.

    🥳

    This morning I weighed in at 279.

    While I don’t doubt that tomorrow I’ll have bounced back into the low 280s, for someone who started this journey north of 300, it’s a milestone.

    • Evan from Evansville

      Hey! Big congrats. Well accomplished. Keep it up.

      • UnCivilServant

        Thank you both. Now I have to go ruin it because I need to buy groceries (ate the last of what I had for dinner and didn’t defrost anything)

    • Threedoor

      I’ve been down to 237-8
      I has a box a cereal made reek and jumped to almost 250

      • Chipping Pioneer

        A stroke caused you to gain 12 pounds?

  14. Evan from Evansville

    Morning, y’all. For the record, Tox did not get in touch late last night. (Not sure if I won?)

    This will be an interesting weekend. Young Washington matinee is the first out-of -doors activity planned. Perhaps food?

    Last night’s Cubs game was incredibly exciting. Tight. Well-played. Daring and inspired defense (on our part), a debutante ballet.

    Re Monocle losing ‘mute’ settings, they’re stored in cookies so you’d lose them if you’re clearing data.

    I also use Android/Firefox and haven’t seen issues.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      Hmm. I haven’t cleared data. I wonder if the cookie’s corrupted and if clearing it might fix the problem (once I reapply muted).

    The county recently began a long-planned replacement of the water infrastructure on our street and a couple of adjacent streets. Other than a couple of piles of gravel, there hadn’t yet been much effect on our end of the street. Last night, well after dark, I saw a county utility truck (apparently they get GREEN flashing lights on top) head up the street, and shortly afterward discovered that our water service had gone screwy, fluctuating between little to no pressure and spitting/spurting with off-and-on noticeable discoloration. No notices on the front door handle, so I’m still not sure if it’s safe to use. I brushed my teeth with bottled water.

    At least we got a free Brita water filter out of the county before the project started. Might be time to fire it up. I’m not yet at the point of starting to dig a well.

    • Gender Traitor

      He owns one of these. One of the handiest outdoor power tools ever! 😃👍

      • Common Tater

        They used to be good, but if it’s Black & Decker, I’m sure it will break after a year.

      • R.J.

        Ain’t that the truth.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      They’ve already got one who puts on women’s clothing.

    At this point, what is Trump trying to achieve with tariffs? I can wrap my head around using them as a tactic to try to achieve some objective, but it just seems like random noise.

    “A group of Jewish Americans from across the political spectrum are gathering across the country to exercise their Second Amendment rights in the face of antisemitism.

    Lox & Loaded is a nationwide gun club for Jewish people and their allies, according to its website. Founded in March 2025 in response to rising antisemitic violence following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attacks, the organization now has chapters in 23 states from coast to coast….

    Pearlstein stressed that regular practice is essential to handling firearms safely. Attendees favored several models, including the Israeli Weapons Industries Masada, Glock 43X, Glock 19, Charter Arms American-made revolvers, the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 and M&P 2.0 pistols. Pearlstein described the Charter Arms revolvers as reasonably priced and easy to use.”

    “Hochul said in a statement, “Nobody is above the law. In New York, we will not tolerate the diversion of local resources for federal civil immigration enforcement at the expense of public safety. That is why we passed a commonsense set of laws standing up against federal overreach and ensuring that local law enforcement are not deputized by the highest funded law enforcement agency in the country.”

    She added, “My top priority is keeping New Yorkers safe. Ensuring our law enforcement remains focused on local crimes is essential to protecting our communities and maintaining public safety.””

      So they’re not going to arrest Netanyahu?

    “Earlier in May, Biden-appointed Judge Samantha Elliott ruled that New Hampshire’s 2024 law to require proof of citizenship to vote is an “unjustifiable burden on the right to vote in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.” The ruling blocked the state from enforcing the law.

    The law would require that all voters prove they are a citizen of the country in order to register to vote in elections. The law was challenged in court by the New Hampshire Youth Movement, which claimed that providing the documents you need to get a passport or your driver’s license—such as a birth certificate—was too much of a burden on voters.”
