Homecoming weekend here in the Gulch so we’ve been running at full speed at our cafĆ©, with overwhelmingly madding crowds. Plus hosting a Dutch visitor. Plus travel. Plus deadlines for articles. Plus a disease that has knocked down half our staff. WebDom is suffering the most, but it’s stressing all of us. Especially the Very Old Guy.
But I shall not suffer for birthdays, as is my tradition, which today include a Founding Father who makes shitty beer; an artist whose craft has been degraded beyond measure; a smarmy solon who at least rid us of the second-worst president ever but was a hilariously inapt Left cult figure;Ā one of my favorite magicians; another solon who had something in common with Art Garfunkel; a guy who navigated the fine line between genius and insanity– not always very well; a guy who loved cake and was SugarFree’s spiritual father; an unjustly overlooked songwriter and fine guitarist; and the patron saint of Crazy Eyes.
And I am the patron saint of Crazy Links.
The Lump speaks. If only he’d say, “Look, there’s no real difference, same guy, different color tie.”
This makes one long for the deep intellectual insights of Trudeau.
Why does anyone even pay attention to this cunt?
This just gets stupider and stupider.
We’re just about desperate enough to hire him.
I’m sorry, this is just totally wrong on multiple levels.
The Old Guy took a break in the action to haul our Dutch visitor and Prime to see one of his favorite living musical acts, who was coming through Buffalo. Two hours of incredibly high energy, brilliant songwriting, and emotional rollercoasters of songs. I mean, when a solo show starts with Tuvan throat singing accompanied by simultaneous heavy guitar and percussion, you know it will not be a conventional evening. Her reaction at the end: “That was WONDERFUL. I thought it would be a good show, but I had no idea that I would like it THIS much!” If Matt comes through your area, I would urge you to experience him live. Oh, and he’s an incredibly nice and funny guy to chat with.
Most of us are too old for this, yet here we are.
I was so much older then…

Looks around, crawls back into bed.
Thanks OM.
Those that say age is just a number are full of shit. Reality is a bitch.
I hope it’s not serious. Get well soon š
Her kids show on YouTube is very popular.
I suspect Sweet Baby James will not be exposed to it.
That sounds like a brand of BBQ sauce.
I will tell WebDom that you want her baby BBQed for his ribs. I hope your will is current.

Happy birthday Richard Harris!
The Irish actor? Not seeing it.
Relevant, and both of them were quite debauched.
You linked it??? You monster!!! Now, I don’t usually object to your music links, but that’s just inhuman! šļø
Remember, I’m the guy who celebrated his birthday by lugging a slice of cake up a mountain.
Catskill Park is not melting in the dark.
And I had a feeling Tonio didn’t get the reference.
I’m suspecting there will be some serious cosmic payback to Ted S. in the noon post.
I suppose it could have been worse. (Click at your own risk.)
“Convicted child killer Shane Ertmoed, who is serving a life sentence, has been granted a 60-day unescorted temporary absence from prison to take cooking classes.
Ertmoed was denied day parole last year because he still posed a risk of serious harm to others.
Ertmoed, then 24, was convicted in 2002 of the sexual assault and killing of 10-year-old Heather Thomas.”
Releasing an unescorted time-traveling murderer sounds like a bad idea.
itās stressing all of us. – a glass of romanian syrah should fix the stress
For an event today, I’m pouring some Cab Franc Appassimento. 15% alcohol, so that should improve the mood.
I like amarone less than i used to when younger.
Autumn is finally here. Mild sunny and the raspberry bush is still producing.

If the was no goddamn ragweed (goddamn american weeds) it would be quite nice.
The berries look great! Make some raspberry sorbet and think of Prince.
I went to the local coffee festival yesterday. Fewer people than last year it seemed. Some good coffee but quite price on occasion in the 20 to 40 dollar per 100g range. Also some craft choclate 7 dollars for 50 grams. Bit rich. Tasty though.
I bought me a costa rica anaerobic ( or anoxic if you preffer)
Prediction: it will turn out to be a couple guys with a pack of Chinese firecrackers. And maybe an assault screwdriver.
So simmilar equipment to the averege EU army
Trump really can troll like no other.
Bit gay bit still funny
This makes one long for the deep intellectual insights of Trudeau.
You should at least fake an invasion to see of the flinch
“Crappy husbands: Divorce expert insists men are āweaponizing poopingā
Olivia Howell, author of āDivorce Happens,ā claimed in a controversial article that men have used the bathroom for extended periods to avoid spending time with their families and to shirk lifeās many responsibilities.
āA husband walks through the door as an active member of a family unit, shuts it behind him, and immediately becomes a private citizen,ā she wrote in a Sept. 18 Substack post.”

What a load of shit.
Drugs, ass, etc.
I blame social media. Sue zuck
Why does anyone even pay attention to this cunt?
As will all attention to cunts, lack of post nut clarity one would think.
Later, the Pennsylvania senator appeared to misspeak when responding to an audience question about why he would not switch his political identification to āindependentā given his breaks with Democrats.
āBecause Iām a lifelong Republican,ā the senator replied, prompting a quick correction from the Garrett.
That’s actually not that far off the mark if you know his history.

“A rep for Mamdani ā a passionate supporter of decriminalizing prostitution before being elected mayor ā said he āis committed to partnering with local organizations and neighborhood residents to address conditions on Roosevelt Avenueā and is āusing every tool available to the city while treating victims and survivors with the care and dignity they deserve.ā
āOur approach must therefore pair enforcement with the support and opportunity that help people build safer, more stable lives,ā said City Hall spokesman Sam Raskin.”

Decriminalization is retarded. Make it legal or enforce the law.
“They include John Maddox, 52, who was arrested July 29 on Roosevelt Avenue near 98th Street for allegedly offering an undercover cop $20 for sex; and Mario Sanchez, 31, who was busted while allegedly offering $100 to an undercover cop for sex on June 11 near 80th Street, police sources said.”
The alleged johns get their names published, but the alleged hookers get their faces blurred.
$20? Same as uptown?
$100? A trip around the world?
What kind of operation you people running? You cant get it for 20 in Moldova let alone any euro country
Decriminalization is making it legal. Remove the penalties for it. Many supporters and escorts groups fear legal means government regulated and they dont want that.
