Last time in “How do you do it Hype?” I explained how to pick a quote and attribution (as the author and title are called in acrostic building circle) The next step is to take all the letters in your quote and make a bunch of words equal in number and starting with the letters in your attribution. The first few glibcrostics I made I did the old school way shuffling letters around until I had the words I needed, this is a pain in the ass, so you’ll want to cheat and use an online anagram program. I use this one, you plug in your quote and attribution or source as its called by this program, hit a button and it’ll give you a random set of words that fit your entries. You can fine tune the result by entering words to exclude or include in the proper boxes and running the program over and over until you get a word list you like, there are also two sets of word libraries to use. Next time we’ll talk about what makes a good word list. Now on to the puzzle…Gamble away, what do I care.

I had no idea about this bit.
Q: Is there is misspelling in Z?
Yes, should be Kitaen not Kitane. The puzzle editors must be on strike.
Yay me.
I got a little further than last episode, but still gave up.
I do like the quote, even if I never would have got it in a million years.
How many of the clues did you get on the first go through and did they give you enough help to get some words in the quote? I’m asking because I’m never sure if I’m making these to hard or giving away too many easy answers.
I got 12 clues, which allowed me to guess some words in the quote but none of the extra letters helped me to get any further clues.
I’d go for easier myself. Give us a chance.
*I should clarify that I didn’t immediately get 12 clues; there was some back and forth. But yeah, there was a definite point about halfway through where I got hopelessly stuck.
Let’s say I got about 8 clues right off the bat.
But I’m not sure if my huge gaps in knowledge are typical or not.
I’d say easier, some of them are rather obscure (for me). But once some letters in the quote are there, I can often fill in letters using the quote rather than the clues.
That’s the game, a good puzzle should be a constant back and forth between solving clues and filling in the quote. Or at least that’s the way I approach it, I like a puzzle that has me about to quit then one ‘Aha’ moment fills in some word in the quote which lead to more clue answers and rinse and repeat. Of course everyone has a different knowledge set so one man’s elementary puzzle is another ‘fuck this bullshit’ puzzle. I try to hit a middle ground.

I give Hype shit for these, but, yeah, he did a great job with these.
I like word puzzles but I have always completely sucked at this variety.
I know many Glibs aren’t going to work the puzzles and just look at the solution so I try to pick quotes that are liberty related and might spark a dialogue*, also I do a little trolling in the clues so that people may have something to bitch about whether they attempt the puzzle or not.
*happened once, but a guys gotta dream.
+1 duck
I mean, come on.
But yeah, the expected trolling did help me get some clues.
Subjective clues (like third best whatever) can be hard to fathom, although I have to admit I got it after the quote filled in a couple of the letters.
I knew that one right away cuz I know how the author’s mind works.
Hence…appreciated. Take a damn compliment.
That wasn’t a dig at non-puzzlers, just explaining my thought process in building them.
Also thanks for the compliment.
🙂 you aren’t the only one who can be a dick!
I will admit, I had to cheat. I could not remember the authors spelling of his name, and had to look it up.

I cheated on Z, just to verify my guess that the clue was misspelled. That was the only one. Was proud of myself. 🙄

I’d do her acrostic.
I feel dirty looking at this one
Yes prease.
Uh, I think that I may have made a huge mistake. The step-son was sleeping in my truck with the door hanging open so I rousted him. Judi got really pissed off because she’s been trying her level best to get him into some sort of supportive housing for months. I got him out and he fell on the ground. I then offered him my arm so that he could sleep somewhere more cozy. He suddenly became very spry and took off up the street like one of those race-walkers. He’s been playing possum with Judi and his little sister this whole time. Every time she gets close to finding him the help he needs he just disappears. Two weeks later, back on the teat. I can’t live like this no more. Words were exchanged in front of the neighborhood. /vent off
I feel for your situation Festus.
Every twist and turn becomes me just being a big old bully. That man probably has about 2 inches and 30 lbs on me. I did poke him with my cane on Tuesday morning so I got that going for me.
I hated needing a cane but I loved having it around to poke people with, I may just start carrying one whether I need it or not.

That is all.

I have a cudgel, a cane, and a staff from these guys. All loaded with lead.
That’s what I was thinking.
I bought a drugstore cane when I was at my wit’s end just before the colon-snip I got a couple years ago.
Kind of put it out of my mind. But the stupid thing is still in a closet somewhere.
I usually just use it to poke and prod at the dog and the cat. Works a wonder!
Mine lets me get extra grumpy, and people go out of their way to be nice. I don’t understand it.
Wait until you give it a hearty shake! That’s when you’ll see the enemy turn tail!
Well, to be honest, that is why I have an onion on my belt, as is the custom.
Festus, et. al., I hate you have/had to use a cane…but you all got me thinking I need one.

I don’t hate him but I genuinely dislike him. He is Judi’s boy and none of mine but I hope that he lives a happy, fulfilling life far away from my dwindling years.

A follow up from the first story two years ago.
We keep going over the same old ground that we have for the last few decades and nobody will give up the salient. Sound familiar?
Shouldn’t it be “The Hype?”
Indubitably.
Don’t believe it.
There’s a time and place for both the formal and the familiar terms of address. In this case the familiar was the correct usage.
The portly fellow is right! He’ll laugh at the rest of us with Brian Blessed glee.

Yup, time to reexamine our posture.
WTF NHL? Why do you have digital board advertisement during play? I’d rather have the glowing puck back
I’d rather care about watching any sport.
My enemies have all taken shape and form. They believe they are threats. They think that they can rattle me, that there presence can dim the light of The First, but they are fools. The fact that they have fully revealed themselves has only served to generate a sense of euphoria that I can feel seeping through to my bones at all times. Those who are not First do not understand, and ask how can you be so cocksure. They ask, Bro, Bro…don’t those multitudes of seconders down there scare you? To which I reply no, no not at all. They ask, Bro, what do you intend to do with all of those seconders out there? To which I reply sir, I shall give them the bayonet.
The amassing of the seconders and the appearance of the false ones is merely a prerequisite for the great victory that shall come.
Yeah, about that. . .
I think that the odds on this Mike fellow might be running ahead, say 3-2, maybe even 2-1. I like the looks of this new challenger. He’s got moxie.

Frustrating is you can hate both actors and supporting cast but if you don’t suck Ukrainian dick you must love Russia
Always that way at the beginning of a war. I find it hilarious that people think that Russia, a weapon manufacturing behemoth that has been stockpiling for decades, is going to “run out”. That’s a huge part of the problem: neither the US or Russia is going to cut back on weapons production regardless of how much pain it causes their economies.
I almost see Russia playing the American 80s game…force us into arms race while minimally engaging….
I’m to the point where I want Russia to win because fuck these people, and the sooner Russia wins the sooner American tax dollars can stop going over to that corrupt hellhole.
Putin is a POS warmonger himself and I’m not rooting for him. The only solution is not to play.
The only sensible stance. It is really weird to see some people looking like legitimate Russia supporters when Putin started the whole shebang.
Unfortunately, we’re in a situation where Russia has to “win” or at least be able to save face while maintaining its strategic security objectives.
Because if they don’t, the possibility of it going nuclear is high. This has been one of my points since the beginning. Picking sides here based on who’s got the moral or legal high ground is a recipe for disaster. We need a pragmatic solution and we need it quickly. The utopian ideologues at State need to be run out on a rail and replaced with someone sane.
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that both Nickleback and Creed are worse than Pearl Jam.

Not as unpopular as you think
Pearl Jam isn’t great, but they sure as fuck aren’t worse than Creed or Nickleback. Especially Creed.

Didn’t we establish that last night?
Devante Adams stupidly and pettily shoved some kind with a boom mic to the ground after the Raiders squandered yet another game (hey, maybe if you gave a shit about winning, you shouldn’t have demanded a trade to Las Vegas, you stupid fuck). Stupid athlete does stupid things isn’t that amusing.
The people who defend them, however? That’s always good for a chuckle.
There was no “intend” behind it? What the fuck does that even mean? It was quite clearly done with 100% intent. He fully intended to shove the photographer.
Then there’s the KC police department releasing this ridiculous statement on the incident:
I’m glad we have the cops here to tell us that the injuries were non-life threatening. What a relief. And, as with anything the government does, we get a ridiculous display of bureaucracy. Really, it’s going to take more than a couple of days to investigate something you have on fucking video, that the whole world saw? You aren’t analyzing video of the JFK assassination. This isn’t 9/11.
Then the finale is Adams attempt to weasel his way out of taking blame for his stupidity:
He literally didn’t run, Mike. There’s video. He was walking. And you didn’t bump into him at all. You walked up to him and shoved him to the ground decisively. There’s fucking video. Just own it.

in other stupid NFL player and US authorities related news, the Giants punter is being prevented from re-entering the US because he doesn’t have a work visa because he came to the country as a teen with his dad with some sort of NATO related visa. Doesn’t that make him a fucking dreamer, or do you have to be brown for that? Maybe he should claim he’s seeking asylum. Apparently, if you utter that magical word we are completely powerless to kick you out of the country even if you have zero proof or evidence to support your claim and you passed through 10 other countries on your way to here.
Lol, you have to qualify as some sort of high skill visa one you work for the NFL, right?
Screw the Raiders.
You think a cop on any case can do a timely investigation?
Code for “How badly do we wanna try to fuck up this guy’s life?”
That photographer’s gonna get a nice fat payday.
I hadn’t watched the video until now. The way they described it on the radio made it sound like the guy was trying to take a picture of Adams. But no, he’s trying to get somewhere to do his job, just happened to be in the diva’s way while he was pouting.
He’s clearly an ass, and no one should be making excuses for him. That said, not sure I buy that the pushee has any injuries from that. Give him 30 days probation and a nice little check for the victim.
If is not his first offense, lock him up 30 days…
NHL wants us to know that the Stanley’s Cup was finally in a mosque. Big deal
It is hardly unique to the NHL, but I have no idea who the clowns at the top of the NHL think they are catering to with their woke bullshit. It’s amazing to me how many businesses don’t seem to have the slightest fucking clue who there actual customers are and how they get so easily manipulated by media talking heads who have no impact on their bottom line or faux twitter outrage. Or, in this sort of case, they get lost in the sauce seeking out praise from those types.
I don’t know what you are talking about. In late 2003 the Iraqi’s wanted nothing more than the reopening of the IHL. The Baghdad Bombers had a cool jersey, but most people thought the Ninewa Ninjas would be the team to beat. Stupid Brennan for not getting the required Zamboni parts.
I don’t follow hockey so maybe I’m missing something. Why would that matter to a hockey fan?
Exactly. Hockey has been slow on the woke. Always pushing the game and character of players but they are ramping it up over the past couple years.
I wonder what the Imams thought of the Cup that probably saw more ass than most of us.

Judging by a brief road-trip, Thai has supplanted Chinese as the go to for small town Asian restaurants.
I miss the old days of American Chinese before the health food craze, the MSG paranoia, and the Sysco delivered bulk same sauces.
I just miss Cantonese and its more elegant cousin Mandarin cuisine. Seems like everything’s Szechuan these days. Don’t get me wrong, I love the intensity of Szechuan, but it’s hard to beat a really properly-done Orange Beef or a 7 Precious Pearl Duck.
Although I loves me some Ginger Beef — created in Calgary around 50 years ago by a Szechuan chef who was goofing on his native cuisine. I could eat that stuff all day.

Glad I plugged in the Tesla model 3 yesterday afternoon. (Hubby “owns” the one Model Y.) The 3 is my baby. Fits like a glove and seems to read my mind when driving. I’ve had it 4 years and it charges up to 310 miles, exceeding the original 305 when I bought it. I don’t understand why people have “range anxiety” about driving these puppies.
I know EVs aren’t for everyone but this sure works for me.
Because I occasionally drive over 300 miles in a day, sometimes all at once. Also, hurricanes, etc.
Question – is that the range you’ve actually driven it from a charge, or the number the screen displays? I’ve never seen a car where the ‘range remaining’ wasn’t a bald-faced lie.
It’s actual. The car learns over time. The original “promised” range was 305 (Tesla M3 long range, 2018).
I don’t drive like a maniac, I run lots of air conditioning (cooling) but not much for heating; in winter I generally use the seat heater and that’s enough.
When I drive over the mountains, I can see the remaining miles actually increase due to regenerate braking.
Funny thing about the accuracy of Tesla miles remaining: I get about 30 more when I’m driving vs when hubby drives; there are separate profiles. Car knows who’s crazy.
I think it’s likely that living in the southwest helps a bunch. Batteries are happy here.
And I should have added that I’ve taken this baby well down to 10 miles remaining without it quitting. The “power” (experienced as acceleration) decreases with a low batt, but the actual miles remaining is accurate,
I have less of range anxiety and more of cost anxiety. My car gets over 50 mpg and was under $25k (price, tax, title, …).
I just need to share with you people that I absolutely love the series “Resident Alien.”

Good news guys, gals, and otherkin: The recession that we are totally not in yet will be slight when it gets here.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-says-recession-possible-very-slight-believes-he-can-beat-trump-again
It’s hard to address that which cannot be named. Our supposed leaders live in freaking fantasyland.
Only slight if we allow government intervention?
I’m more concerned about a global banking crisis that wipes out the FDIC.
“Very slight” doesn’t really describe that situation.
A few years ago, the CU where I work switched from the NCUSIF to private insurance. In a real global crisis, though, I suspect we would not be spared.
I will be speaking to my CPA about T-bill funds for business cash this week. In an actual banking crisis, that will be the safest haven. Gold, silver, BTC, etc… come afterwards.
Morning, Red. What, CUs aren’t guaranteed by the FDIC? Aaagh!
Nope – federally-insured CUs have their own Share Insurance Fund. And in the financial crisis of ’08, a couple of big “corporate credit unions” (essentially credit unions for credit unions) went under and the “natural person” CUs – the ones used by mere mortals like us – had to pay for years to bail THEM out. 😒
Tis the American way. Spend baby, spend.

I almost forgot (in the excitement of the acrostic) – GlibFit update: Yesterday instead of just going in to the exercise room at the Y and doing my time on the NuStep cross-training machine, I went to a water aerobics class! It was great – felt SOOOO good to be in the water again (in the nice, warm “Therapy Pool.”) Best of all, our heads never went below the surface of the water, so I didn’t have to worry about wrecking my ridiculously expensive hair! 👩🦰

Good morning, U! In office or WFH today? (In other words, do Monday holidays screw up your usual alternating schedule?)
I’m in the office. We set up our schedule by the weekday. If there happens to be a holiday on that monday I’m supposed to be in the office, I’m stil remote the tuesday afterwards.
Good morning GT! No insomnia here. Supposed to meet someone for off hours project work. They are three hours late so far (four as originally scheduled). But it’s ok because I’m actually getting other stuff done. And I still have coffee. Or I could have slept in…
What are they odds they’re going to assert “I was there, but there was no sign of you”?
None. He’s a good guy but worse than I am at being on time.
Three hours late?? I don’t know if I’d wait that long for any coworker other than my boss (or his boss.) If they ever show up, they should buy you breakfast!
The finest spread of the Hampton Inn buffet will be waiting when I’m finished.
Mornin’ Folks,
I hate to wait but that’s what deer hunting is all about. At least with fishing I can move easily and try “over there” meaning the other side of the lake.
Yikes. I’m guessing this individual is worth waiting for; still, 3 hours? Here in metro NYC I would suspect foul play at this point.
Project has to be done. Budgets tightening so would rather get it done now than do a go back. Plus the missus has been getting increasingly unhappy with out of town trips.
“Plus the missus has been getting increasingly unhappy with out of town trips.”
That’s a good thing.
Hey there, GT!
Power just turned back on so I awoke from lights turning on in the house.

Good morning, ‘patzie! How’s the world treating you?
Lovely, a fine chilly fall morning, how are things by you?
Yankees won. Boo. Rangers over Lightning. Yay.
My attempted fix for an ongoing production issue didn’t fix anything. Boo. On the other hand, didn’t break anything. Yay.
6 month checkup with retina doc went well. “No new holes, see you in six months”. Yay.

Nah, after a while you get used to it. You might say it’s integrated into your daily routine.
Things are good by me, thanks! (See comment above re: water aerobics.) Today is supposed to be nice & warm – warmest day of the week (high of 76.) Waiting for payroll for perusal and final approval, and I need to fill out some info for a poor coworker’s short-term disability application – needs both knees replaced because they’re both bone-on-bone! 😟
Ouch. Mrs. Patzer is bone-on-bone, but the hips are a higher priority. I hope that coworker gets what s/he needs.
I hope so too. When she called me a couple of weeks ago asking how to start the STD process, she said she’s had both kinds of arthritis for years! 🙁

“Georgia Inmate Scams Billionaire For Over $11 Million In Wild Tale: Prosecutors”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/georgia-inmate-scams-billionaires-over-11-million-wild-tale-prosecutors
Normally I’d say the smart ones don’t get caught but this guy has some serious ingenuity under his belt.
Did the Inmate claim to have won a Statewide election?
That only nets you about $4 mil in GA.
So did this scam.
Oopsie.
“Cofield allegedly used contraband cell phones, with which he convinced customer service representatives at Schwab that he was Kimmel ”
Not a good look for Schwab here, but maybe their reps are too eager to please? Shitty customer service is underrated.
So, the inmate actually scammed Schwab out of the Billionaire’s millions rather than the Billionaire directly. That’s an important distinction.
I took a look at the ACFT standards. The minimum 2 mile run time for a 17-21 male dropped from 15:54 under the old APFT to 22:00 under the new ACFT. 11 minute miles?
That sounds like a walking pace.
Even I can walk a mile in the high teens.
A brisk walking pace is around 4mph, so 15-minute miles. Are they doing this under load?
I initial thought that was the case but I don’t see anything in the standard like I do for the other events. Eleven minute miles with a combat load would be a workout. I had to do 20 minute miles with a combat load for 12 miles when I was tactical. I believe airborne/air assault had to do 15 minute miles.
That’s more like a leisurely walk.
I had to look it up.
Average adult walking mile is 15 to 20 minutes. So, err on the side of presumably young and healthy, yeah 11 minutes should be a cakewalk.
So the trannies can do it wearing their Blahniks?
If I recall, trannies get to use the standard for their professed gender.
I worry less and less these days about the Boog (are we still using that word?) kicking off. The quality of the opposition is taking a nosedive…
Oh, and good morning!
It’s not a good morning for the cats. They get to visit the veterinarian. They’d be hiding if they knew.
