Today we have a very special movie, from a very special Glib. Yes, he found me again, even though I moved far away. I will say that STEVE has interesting taste. I had never heard of this movie which has sasquatches, aliens, and zombies! And it’s from the eighties! So without any further chatter, here is the crude letter which was left with the VHS tape on my doorstep:
Trivia! This movie was made in 12 days. Does it show?
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next week you have a choice: East German Sci Fi, or White Punks on Dope from TedS!
You can’t buy anything for 1.99 now.
STEVE SMITH GIVE POUNDS FOR FREE.
Sounds like a forex arbitrage opportunity.
No. I used to get DVDs at the dollar store for a buck. Three Stooges, old cartoons, etc… Those days are gone.
You can’t even rent a stream for 1.99
At the Dollar Store today I saw a basket of videos, “a buck and up”
I didn’t look since I never have time to sit and watch TV/videos,
I still have some. Wish I’d bought The Big Picture.
Toxteth, I spent 5 years in France at remote microwave stations. French cook that didn’t speak much English. If we wanted a haircut we went on the economy. A little shopping, etc.
Actually I did get a chance in VN to use French, the Montangard kids had gone to school with French proselytizers and some of the kids spoke French. In town the better educated VN spoke French.
I had also been to VN Language School (where I met my wife) but I’ve totally forgotten that.
Two 32oz fountain drinks from Casey’s gas stations after tax costs $1.99 in Northern Missouri depending on which county you purchase it in… They’re having a Summer sale to lure you into buying their overpriced pizza slices.
Is the pizza any good?
At a gas station? RJ…🤣😂
Better than most.
We used to get fresh pizzas for carry out from Casey’s when the kids were still at home.
Casey’s specializes in setting up in small towns. It is not uncommon for them to be the only place in town to buy ready-to-eat foods. The breakfast sandwiches and burritos are pretty good actually.
RJ, Sean…kinnath is correct. Pound for pound, dollar value per dollar value, Casey’s pizza (when pre-ordered via takeout) is pretty fucking good. A better value than most commercial chains. +1 to the loaded breakfast burrito. Scrambled eggs, queso dip, shredded cheddar, bacon, hash browns, sausage, all wrapped in a corn flour tortilla at a reasonable price for gas station fair.
My ex’s favorite was Casey’s maple donuts
…All that being said; Unless I’m in a pinch, I’m not spending $4 after tax on a slice when I can spend thirty cents more on a frozen Tony’s pizza and keep myself fed damn near all day.
I can make far better pizza at home.
But there are still times when 2 slices of ready-to-eat at 6 bucks meets my needs.
Say what you want, but they’re no Kum & go.
RIP Kum & Go.
At least they kept the ethanol free gas when they changed the name on all of them.
Casey’s pizza is a road trip guilty pleasure for me, as are Sinclair chicken strips. The pizza is more consistently decent, but the best chicken strip I ever had was from a Sinclair gas station in Northern Montana on the Blackfoot Res. It was on the way to Glacier Park, headed toward the East entrance, but an hour or so away.
We are getting all the rain in North Texas so Elon can launch.
Dammit! It scrubbed!
Needs a good cleaning?
Clearly.
The next event is Trump’s speech in an hour. All these crude interruptions during movie night!
Send rain! Clear out the smoke!
Boy, we got plenty! It’s every day right now. It is interfering with construction projects.
It is all coming from due South, heading due North which is an odd direction.
Undocumented migrant rain.
Diving in!
Ugh, ugh, I’m dying, you idiots 🎶 (45 seconds in)

Seriously, a health sign (not jaundice!) was observed on me today. I’m okay for now but I can’t trust my housemates for help. My mother is too checked out, and if I collapsed B would probably accuse me of malingering then kick me in a kidney. Perhaps while himself falling over.
I don’t think he comes to this URL anymore. Busy with X rants.
At least this sitch came late in my life.
I couldn’t handle any more excitement. Quiet and boring. Tomorrow is a day visit with a classmate that is in assisted living and he really needs assistance. He sits in a recliner, can’t get out of it without assistance, the into a wheelchair with his helper holding him, to the bathroom, I’m not sure what goes on in there, female attendant.
Today I visited another classmate/my best friend. In the past month he’s went from working outside on cars to sitting in a recliner, needs a walker inside and out.
He’s alone at home but his kids check on him everyday, bring food, etc.
At least all three of us still have somewhat of a memory, even if the voice is getting weak. Getting old sucks.
Merci, monsieur.
Gotta catch up last few days. Swept off my feet. Venting parce je m’en fous.
I wish I were close enough to help.
Ain’t there anyone here for Scrabble? 🎶 (Haven’t tried Words With Friends)

“Getting old sucks.”
I lament this to my small handful of coworkers around fifteen years younger than me but still try to appreciate that I’ve lived long enough to be “The Old Guy” at the job sites. Especially considering what I was doing between 16-26…ever been high on exctasy, Xanax, Valium, weed, morphine, meth, acid, and opium all at the same time while a psychopath crackhead has a pistol pointed at your face screaming about how that 1/4 ounce bag of Mexican dirt weed you sold him was .02 grams short according to his personal scales?
Fun times. Ah, to be 22 again.
Good God, woman! What have you gotten yourself into?!
je sais pas. Call me. fairly sober and DGAF. 🍻

Huh…I just may do that. Need to run to gas station up the road first.
Obviously it wasn’t like this to start. What am I, a masochist? Pfft. I am nobody’s property.
Can’t argue with anosognosia, so fuggit 🧳 🏃♀️.
ok
Did he just shoot a 1911 with the slide out of battery?
That’s what the Irons are for. Change the battery when you get the chance.
/Deliberately missing the point.
I knew he was going to die tired.
I am in the fasting part of the week, and Tubi had Bulleit Bourbon commercials. This is some kind of sick test.
I’m past the point in the evening where I shouldn’t eat any more food today.
For some reason, I have this awful temptation for more food.
Fight it. I am fighting it too.
👊😣
All the channels I watch are wall-to-wall HIV/prep commercials.
I can’t tell if that’s making you hungry or killing your appetite.
BethAnnica just passed this over:
https://consequence.net/2026/07/william-shatner-riot-fest-rider/
Shatner has a ton of demands in order to play Riot Fest.
He’s gonna be at a local mall on Saturday…
“The Star Trek star continues to work on a heavy metal album for Cleopatra Records with a cast of all-star contributors. Among the tracks announced for the collection are covers of Judas Priest classics “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’” (featuring Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford) and “Living After Midnight” (featuring drummer Mikkey Dee of Motörhead and Scorpions).”
\oo/
I think he is living his best life.
Someone is punk’ing us.
That list is hilarious
Yeah, at some I realized it can’t be real.
If his demands are not met is he going to drown someone in his pool?
He did a decent cover of ‘Common People’. I’d like to see his metal chops.

Arguably my favorite YT music video of all time.
Thanks, I had never seen that video, brilliant!
Ditto to Dr Otto.
This has taken a weird turn.
You just noticed?
The plot was all over the place. Cocaine may have been involved.
12 day bender
Absolutely. Speaking of, any update on the Trump speech?
I’m sure I can catch the highlights tomorrow.
Wild guess – something stupid.
Caught less than a minute of Trump’s speech as we were sitting down to a late dinner (before switching over to a NatGeo show about Minoan archeological sites on Crete.) At that point he was talking about the information that turned up (at the FBI?) in a bunch of burn bags that never got burned and saying they’d be releasing a bunch of declassified documents. We’ll see if it turns out to be anything.
@GT: Ha! That’s exactly the bit I saw. I wondered WTF, why this? WHAT this?!
I’m glad I changed back to Clarkson’s Farm.
“they’d be releasing a bunch of declassified documents”
Here we go again.
Step 1: We’re gonna do Good Thing X.
There is no Step 2.
Who knows. The MSM are desperate to censor whatever is happening which tells me there is something to it.
Huh. Bad dreams?
“[Bruce] Barlow’s involvement continued with Demonwarp (1988), an independent sci-fi horror depicting alien demons possessing victims in a remote forest, where he provided makeup effects for the possessed characters and monstrous entities. His 1980s output concluded with contributions to Leviathan (1989), a deep-sea sci-fi horror involving mutated underwater creatures aboard a mining vessel, in which he worked in the makeup department on creature prosthetics and effects.”
Dope.
I’m out for the night. Thanks RJ!
See you in the morning, DEG, I’ve still got a 1/2 hour.
You are welcome!
And Fourscore, party with the Night Crew!

That’s awesome.
I am the rusty cotter pin upon which this household depends. Here’s a buck: go replace me at Ace. Yell at it for a change.
Probably would have called 911 last night re the beer thrown at me but I wanted to find my purse first. 🙄

I’m assuming this is referring to Yusef/Bob?
Trump may have just pulled off the biggest corporate handout in history, wittingly or not.
Consumers pay jacked up prices, corporations get a refund. Sounds about right for this country. I’m sure they’ll lower prices without those tariffs any day now.
What fresh retardation is this?
US government has refunded $81 billion to importers this year after Supremes overturned Trumps tariffs.
Dumb.
When FedEx sent me a bill for a tarrif plus an additional $15 service fee I sent the bill back and wished them luck in their lawsuit and made sure to note that I knew they wouldn’t be refunding me when they won.
It’s not like they could have collected that $21 from me anyway.
FedEx delivered at my place today and has many times since I didn’t pay their silly bill. It had no teeth and I knew I wouldn’t get a refund when it got overturned.
Yea but a lot of these mega corps will get to double dip. First taking from the consumer and then from the government.
Socialized monied interests and individualized losses…sounds about right.
Could have easily set up a process where they had to show they hadn’t passed it on to consumers and dragged it out long enough that practically nothing would have been refunded.
Anyone here for part-time caregiving in San Diego? Thought not but if so, kindly direct inquiries to Bob. I’m going to sleep.
I have a tasty beverage in hand, and I’m going to try to watch it. If I fall asleep on my keyboard, wake me up and send me to bed.
I had to brace my bedroom door with my own heft recently. Proven.
I know I should be talking to lawyers a/o social workers, but did I mention IDGAFA?
Re the doorstep weirdo, apparently I should have gone for the handgun, not the shotgun.
I put the stamp on crooked. EVERYTHING I DO IS “WRONG”.
¡Chinga mi vida!
Jeebus Toxeth. My advice still stands. Find a women’s shelter for a few days and put up with their BS. Sleeping with one eye open sucks.
Things don’t seem good obviously. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on specifically though to offer any other advice but what you said dbleagle.
I don’t even know what the exact relationship is here. Not fishing either. I have no problem with anyone venting either, but it seems like the situation may be past the stage where just a little venting is called for.
Be safe TOG. Get the help you need.
I second this. It may sound corny but Toxteth, you are worth more and you deserve better.
Agree 1000%
How dare people vote for someone I don’t like!
I hope he cuts all the ESL funding. Sink or swim, Juan!
A real county wouldn’t allow criminals to hold government jobs
How about nobody who worked for FedGov gets to work for local government?
“Montgomery County Immigrant Rights Collective”
And there you go.
Monkey County was all you needed to know.
ICE agents are the
newnext Jews.I look forward to competing bans. Which county will be the first to ban anyone who has worked in DEI?
Looks like Montgomery County. If anywhere is pro-illegal alien, it’s there.
Hey, hey, hey!
Good morning Glibfolks.

Good morning, Sean, Stinky, Ted’S., Roat, and Bro!
Morning, GT. How are things today?
OK so far. Taking my car in this morning for an oil change and to have a couple of other things checked out, which could end up costing a lot more. Luckily I got paid my semi-annual incentive today…which may all go to car maintenance and repair.
How about you?
Well, I don’t get a semi-annual incentive. I do get an annual “We’re sorry you’re still here” longevity payment in April for having too many years in. It used to be years in grade but last contract changed it to just years in the state, so I can’t avoid it by getting promoted. If the new contract gets approved (I suspect I will get outvoted and it will be) there will be retro pay to cover the difference between the end of last contract rate and the new contract rate back to the end of last contract.
Oh, you meant how I was doing. For some reason I sat around last night despite being tired, despite knowing I needed to get some sleep, despite wanting to, I just didn’t leave my chair to actually do it until around 1am. So I’m tired this morning now too. I can’t explain why I sat there, doing nothing in particular, when everything said “go to sleep”
Mornin’
Maybe if you weren’t trying to be a night person…. :-p
Sometimes it just requires too much effort to get up and go to bed.
Shut up, Ted.
Good morning, (((Jarf! How are you today?
I am doing pretty well, how about you?
The sky is a lot bluer this morning than the past few mornings.
Pictured.

Well, go cheer it up.
Forecast still calling for hazardous air here.
As far as I can tell, everyone’s overreacting to the actual amount of smoke reaching this area.
It was hazy AF here last night, with a definite smell of smoke in the air.
This morning is still pretty hazy, but the odor isn’t quite as strong right now.
Take that, Drumpf!
Used to be they tried to hide it.
In principle, good that broadcasters aren’t in thrall to politicians engaging in grandstanding.
In practice, we know this is a “principals vs. principles” issue.
I remember when I was kid and we were mostly stuck with the networks it was nice being able to flip to the Canadian/American channels if the PM/President was tying the other country up with their blah blah blahing.
I remember as a kid we couldn’t flip channels. We couldn’t switch to FM on the 5 tube Arvin. We just listened to livestock futures coming out of the St Paul stock yards and considered ourselves lucky.
suh’ fam
yo whats goody
Well, at least I don’t have to buy smokes, just walk outside. I used to like Canadians but I’m losing my patience and respect.

The Canuck pollution has reached here.
We’ve been rolling our own smoke here in Northern NM. Although with the monsoon getting going the air has been better lately.
