SEA SMITH MULTI-TALENTED!
They say it’s a buyer’s (or renter’s) market now even for us mortals. I’m in an expensive lease – I really should move.
You didn’t have the pull to get one of those ridiculously cheap rent-controlled apartments?
Yeah, right.
I have “rent stabilized” which is a complete fraud if anyone is interested in the details.
So I wrote up the details and it’s become an article. Maybe I’ll polish it up and expand it for a submission!
For now, I’ll just say that the upshot of “rent stabilization” is that it’s a system that is designed to get young(ish), employed folks such as myself to subsidize the large numbers of retirees that have been bunkered in place for decades and are paying way below market rate while I pay way above market rate.
SUBMIT IT!!! Please.
Yeah, it needs a little research first but I’d like to. There are some interesting details that are not well-known even among New Yorkers who think “rent control” is the bomb.
An ex girlfriend of mine grew up in Manhattan. She was talking about a used book store she liked near where she grew up that had stuck around to the time she and I dated. I don’t know if it is still around. I remember asking her how the store managed to survive given Manhattan’s rents.
She said, “New York has awesome rent control laws. I think the place is under rent control. It’s great!”
One of the many reasons she is an ex.
Um… yeah. There’s no rent controls on commercial real estate. It helps explain why Manhattan is all Starbucks, Chase bank branches, Duane Reades, and empty storefronts.
A while back I listened to the Teaching Company series on Economics. The takeaway from the rent control episode was that (a) if the goal is to help poor people afford to live in the city, you’d be better off just giving them a cash subsidy and avoiding all the market distortions that rent control causes, but unfortunately (b) it’s exactly the kind of policy that politicians love because it “does something” without adding anything to the official budget.
so to correct DEG:
Sounds totally fair.
/Sarc off
This plan sounds perfectly cromulent to me.
Within a minute. Damn, Rhywun. Maybe we are brothers.
It calls for billions of euros in tax cuts, increased welfare payments for the poor, and the scrapping of an unpopular pension reform.
European “far-right”.
The only people who call Five Star “far right” are the people who call every Euroskeptic who’s not a Communist “far right.” They are a bunch of weirdo populists with a grab-bag of positions, to the extent that they have any at all, that truly are so random and apparently unprincipled that they deserve to be referred to as “defying classfication.” Almost everyone seems to agree they are likely to be spectacularly incompetent. They’re led by a buffoon. Literally.
I don’t like seafood either, but I don’t think I would try to run it over.

Why no sexy in Venezuela? Pretty sure that is the only currency that is worth anything there.
Because since the currency is worthless the hookers are heading elsewhere.

Because as you said the currency is worthless, as such they are plying their trades in Colombia.

Due to the fact that everyone is so poor there there’s nothing to pay them with, so instead they’re all doing it in Colombia.

Since I killed the last thread – just a quick repost of an article worth reading: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/10/19/thresholds-of-violence
Wow, that little Spergy mammal trying for a shot at the title
But yeah, the weird sort of mentality that would work towards a “project” like that despite a loving family – that he actually has feelings for, etc. It definitely leans toward the “riot” mentality described – obviously the tower shooter from UT in the 60s was an exception.
So the Venezualans vote for Maduro. Much like the Adjacent Arabs voting for Hamas. Doubling down! Then after not understanding what went wrong, they’ll complain that their country has turned into a shithole and they need more foreign “investment.”
I have grave doubts that the election results in those places are any kind of accurate reflection of what the people want.
Yeah, I seriously question the legitimacy of the process. Maduro smells a lot like Hussein did, certainly in terms of electoral tampering.
Yes. As I recall no group would certify Maduro’s first election as free and fair except his own government.
What, was Jimmy Carter sick that weekend?
The only ones that voted were Maduro supporters. Poll workers took care of the rest.
2004 Ogier is quite nice. Double Larry.

A man intentionally rammed a vehicle into a North Carolina restaurant busy serving Sunday lunch, killing his daughter and another person and injuring several others, authorities said.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE UNITE ITALIANS AND RULE COUNTRY?
Spartacus?
wiki sez it was Diocletian:
***
“Italia” was the name of the Italian Peninsula during the Roman era. It was not a province, but the territory of the city of Rome, thus having a special status.[1] Italy and its borders expanded over time, until Augustus finally organized it as an administrative division consisting of eleven regions (from the Alps to the Ionian Sea). The islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and Malta were added to Italy by Diocletian in 292 AD. Roman Italy remained united until the sixth century, when it was divided between the Byzantine Empire and territories of the Germanic peoples.
***
You know what other Germanic people divided Italy?
Austria?
Polka bands?
The UEFA Euro 2016 side?
And they still needed penalties. /wink.
correct answers include: Goths, Normans, Vandals, Teutons, and Lombards.
There are others…
Rome perversely retarded any chance of Italian unification and the consolidation of power. It remained a ‘geographic expression’ and a pawn of power politics for centuries raising the ire of people like Machiavelli during the tumultuous period of the great city-states.
And in some ways, it also prevented Germany (along with the Holy Roman Empire) from doing so because they were busy crossing the limes and establishing kingdoms in Italy and Spain.
But the biggest impediment were the Italians themselves. After Rome came the rise of the powerful city-states like Florence and Milan and later the Venetian and Genoese empires. Add some Vatican self-interest and ‘Italy’ never had a chance. And by the 19th century it was too late.
I am not sure that there was anything about Italian nationalism that made it look particularly more “natural” or promising than, say, Illyrian nationalism. As the latter project fell apart, we’ve tended to have a sort of pop deference to the testimony from people there about their “centuries-old hostilities” and that outsiders tend to be “naïve” and “don’t know the history behind this place.” Whereas it is mostly manufactured memory to justify rather recent manipulations and developments. I think if anything Italy looked less promising as a project.
Hm. Interesting. Maybe there’s truth to that. They just didn’t want to drop their parochial empires as Machiavelli observed. Even today, when you read about Italian soccer and what needs to be done, getting people to do it for ‘Italy’ is not sufficient. Italian nationalism is by far the weakest of most European countries; especially its main rivals. You can’t rile Italians up into a fervent anger like you can other countries. At some point a ruthless pragmatism kicks in and they say, ‘kill who? Him? You just said that guy is the bad one! Eat shit! I’m going to have an espresso. This experiment is over. Fuck the glory of Rome. It’s dead anyway’. And off they go. I remember talking to a girl from Bologna – where all the commies are – and she scoffed at nationalism. ‘Ever notice when Italians win a gold medal? They’re busy looking at the crowd, trying to talk to the other medallists, everything but singing the anthem’. Too funny. And then we made out and had sex.
Nationalism in Italy in the 19th century was fleeting. It produced some nice art and Verdi compositions and Garibaldi and all these Italian adventurers but in the end, meh. They remained loyal to their region. To this day they still say they’re Calabrese or Sicilian or Milanese or whatever with more reverence than being ‘Italian’. Or maybe even that’s smoke and mirrors. It’s Italy. Always on it toes with the drama.
Princess Peach?
So this has now been a weekend of me doing next to nothing, and it felt great (well, except not having enough corks to bottle the wine I’ve got that’s ready to bottle).
Unrelated, a final reminder for those who wanted to participate in the Glibs BIF, I’ve sent out e-mails, so if you didn’t get an e-mail from me, I don’t have you on the list.
BIF?
Beer it Forward, just what it sounds like, We try to send Local beer to people who can’t get them IYKWIM, and they pass em on, my first trip, it’s fun!

I’m just waiting on one more reply, and then I can start assigning who people are shipping to. I’ve got a couple of cans sitting in the fridge that can easily be set aside to ship.
This was the first weekend I did not bring my computer home in a couple months. I did bring some work home, but just a little. I’ll be back to bringing it home next week.
Yeah, I’m supposed to do some work on my day off (company holiday tomorrow, maybe a (((holiday)))? I’m not sure) before a business trip Tue. Yuck.
I’ve been at this position for 2 months now. It took them almost five weeks before I could even log into the systems I was supposed to support. I still can’t log in remotely, and there was an issue where they revoked the remote privileges of my coworkers on Friday. The joke was that I would be the only one who could do support, but they would have to deal with an hour commute for me to make it into the office to fix anything.
I was talking to one of my coworkers from the old job earlier this week. It appears me leaving caused quite a bit of changes. First off, he got a raise and my old title, and some of the largest headaches from the old company have been shifted out of their roles. I understand they’ve also increased the training budget (even with less employees).
Gotta be a bigger company? My new masters are pretty big and my long-time coworkers and I just shake our heads at each other other over some of the stuff that goes on (or doesn’t).
It’s more complex then that. I work for a large international company that supports another large international company in one area. I’ve yet to have a conversation with my supervisor, but the paychecks keep coming.
Shavuot.
Ah, who knew?! The (((big guy))) gave us like 8 or 9 new, mysterious holidays this year. Some of them don’t even have names. Like tomorrow is -insert company name here- Holiday #2 or some such.
One killed, one injured in mountain lion attack near North Bend
“The two victims then took a minute and were catching their breath about this amazing, incredibly scary event that just occurred,” Myers said. “And suddenly the victim who’s now in Harborview was attacked again by this cougar. It latched onto his head.”
This sounds like a horror movie script.
I heard one them had his entire head in the kitteh’s jaws while it was shaking him around like a rag-doll. *shudder*
A grown man? Most animals are much stronger than humans pound for pound, but that would seem quite unusual for this type of cat. For a grown man to die from an attack at all is almost unheard of.
If he’s the poor guy in the picture in the Tweet at the bottom, maybe he wasn’t able to fight back effectively. Dude doesn’t look like he’s the kind of bicyclist who you’d expect to encounter a mountain lion and then know what to do about it.
Also, is the friend’s motto, “…I just have to be faster than you”? Because that’s some cold blooded shit, man. Two adult humans could overpower a mountain lion and then GTFO if they’re both willing to fight.
I’m not going to blame someone for running from an attacking mountain lion. Living in Ohio, I’ve never encountered one, but I can see being terrified by one.
Er, I’m with Bill here. No excuse for leaving a brother behind like that.
Besides, they are actually quite easily fought off, as seen in this footage.
I’m not going to blame some random cyclist for fleeing. I probably wouldn’t flee, but I can understand the person who just runs. Considering the most dangerous thing I’m usually carrying while riding is my bike lock…
I’ve also seen the people who were on the other end of the nature spectrum, and wanted to walk between two fighting deer bucks. I had to stop them, and explain that both deer outweighed them by several hundred pounds, and stepping between them would cause them to be reduced to a fine paste.
I’ve never encountered one either, and I have no idea what I’d do during a mountain lion attack after Step 1. Scream like a Little Girl, but I do know that my chances are better if I can get a couple good licks in on one while it’s distracted by my companion, and I also know that I’d rather take my chances with the mountain lion than explain to his friends and family (and mine, for that matter) why I hauled ass while he got mauled. Survivor’s guilt is a bitch, although there’s something to be said for being alive to experience it, I suppose.
I’ll plug my pet project. I’d much rather die in a mtn lion attack than hitting a deer at 60mph in a car. But people don’t like probability so more dead people in deer-car accidents.
Those deer are by far the deadliest animal out there; I don’t think all others combined in this country even come close. Gruesome death too, usually. But they are cute, and deaths at their hands would be very expensive ones to depict in a horror movie, so they don’t make the cut.

Vodyanoy is said to appear as a naked old man with a frog-like face, greenish beard, and long hair, with his body covered in algae and muck, usually covered in black fish scales. He has webbed paws instead of hands, a fish’s tail, and eyes that burn like red-hot coals. He usually rides along his river on a half-sunk log, making loud splashes.

So you’re telling me The Shape of Water is a ripoff?
Yesterday wife and I went to a new area of town and met an American friend for lunch. My friend: “Do you know any good restaurants around here?” Wife: “No, I’m stranger here.” Me: “No, you’re like this all the time.” It was worth the silent train ride home.
when you say “town”, you mean tokyo?
Sure. As in Paint the town red.
I was just thinking about cities and how “knowable” they are in toto
Manhattan is ~22 sq miles. if you live there and go out a lot, you become intimate w/ many corners. There are problems about ‘rate of change’ in neighborhoods tho.*
(greater NYC is 300sq miles, but fact is – fuck staten island, it should be like 190 or something and even then, most of the “social area” NYC is probably concentrated in less than 100)
London is 600sq miles; the ‘city’ is probably manhattan sized, but no one lives there; and the closest inner neighborhoods are effectively separate cities surrounding it. at best people know “a few joints” in each area. Maybe intimate w/ 2 -3 hoods.
Tokyo (according to this) is 800 sq miles.
and its shaped weird. I suspect it has similar dynamics to london; everyone knows their work areas, and their living areas, and maybe 1-2 social areas, but huge swaths remain “unknown” (or too boring to care about)
*oh, my follow-on thought re: “manhattan”
the fucked up thing is that even tho its’ “knowable” because of its concentration, geographically? everything turns over so fucking fast that the ‘neighborhood’ you knew for 10 years, you leave for 2 years, and come back, and next thing you know nothing you recognize is there anymore.
brooklyn was different; it changed more slowly
(except for the mid2000s boom in brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg/Greenpoint/Bushwick – and Ft Greene… and Red Hookl… and many others…)
basically, you could probably live in Brooklyn for 20 years, and leave for 10, and come back, and half of it would be the same.
if you did that in manhattan, almost nothing would be the same. Everyone’s intimacy with a place has a shelf-life
So disorienting the mafia or serial killers forget where the bodies are buried.
Bay Ridge hasn’t changed a bit in the 10 years I’ve been here – I believe it’s zoned that way. It’s already quite heavily built up with rowhouses and small apt. buildings.
Meanwhile, my old neighborhood in Astoria (Queens) is unrecognizable. My old house I think is gone now too. The area which was mostly duplexes is slowly turning into all big condo buildings.
As for Manhattan, well… I barely see it. My commute to NJ is entirely underground and I rarely see Manhattan.
“”Bay Ridge hasn’t changed a bit in the 10 years I’ve been here ‘”
I think you’re far enough out that there’s not the same dynamics. Bay Ridge basically competes w/ the suburbs, in many ways.
i lived there w/ my dad for like 2 years when i was in high school; i had an 1.5hour commute every day each way. i recall hearing some dude at a store in Bay Ridge say exactly the same line as a guy in Saturday Night Fever (filmed nearby) when i told him i was in school in Westchester, = “Oh, up north? Yeah i never been there”
It’s not even that far. Maybe an extra 7 or 8 stops on the R train from Park Slope. You probably know that Sunset Park lies between Park Slope and Bay Ridge, and it too is hardly touched by gentrification. But all of these areas are thoroughly “urban” in character. There are pockets of Bay Ridge that are sort of upper middle class wypipo, though. But they’re still steps from the subway.
“an extra 7 or 8 stops”
lol
‘extra’
ffs i spent most of 20yrs in NYC 2 express stops btw work/residence
when i was in Wburg, it was 2 stops to Union Sq, 2 stops to ‘wherever’
spending hours and hours every day in the subway system is one of the unquantified ‘costs’ of city-life. i managed to keep mine v. low, but still had to deal with occasional cross-city-hikes
The stops are really close together – those 7 or 8 stops are like 10 minutes. But OK, so it’s around 30-40 minutes to lower Manhattan on the local train. Around the same to Midtown if took the N or the D. Anyway, I long ago stopped complaining about it because I do all my reading and listening to music during my commute. Plus I don’t have to live in Williamsburg, gah.
and its shaped weird
They’re using the boundaries of Tokyo Metropolis, the prefectural entity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Tokyo_Area#Definition
As a visitor who’s barely scratched the surface, just within the core portion (the 23 wards), it feels like coming out of just about any station is a completely different city. It doesn’t seem like a homogenous contiguous city. And the amount of tunnels or above ground walkways leads to a disassociative feeling of not being able to tell if you’re underground or in a building at times.
it actually sounds very appealing, at least from POV of being “unique”
Yes. There are pockets of groups of skyscrapers spread out rather than a huge blob in one area. Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Ikebukuro etc. The residential areas often have the same look and feel, however. Look close and you can see the differences. Kind of like the women.
If I remember correctly, Tokyo is like the best example of the heterogenous political city, with “urban” portions, plenty of “suburban” portions, downright “rural” portions, and even straight-up wilderness including one of Japan’s biggest mountains! Weird shit. Not as weird as the thing where addresses don’t use street names–how do you find everything?–but weird enough.
Pretty easy with a smartphone’s map app. Even without, it’s not terrible. Just work large to small. Ward, neighborhood, block, building. Or just look at a strip map to figure out where to go.
See also Seoul – 1/2 the countries population in GSMA (Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area). It’s absolutely nuts (and I haven’t been downtown there in 10 years now).
I get that. I used to do demographic analysis, so i know there’s a huge difference between the technical “MSA” (*US term for metropolitan statistical area) and the “real city”…. hence my point about how Manhattan vs. “greater NY” is really more like 22sq miles vs. “less than 100 more”.
I have only been intimate w/ NYC and London and maybe nashville and san fran; but London i think is the model for the “megalopolis” which is simply too big to “know” in any way similar to NY. You CAN pretty much get a grip on most corners of NYC. if you live there for 20 years and consciously go places other than work/residence/friends. London ? not really, there’s just too much spread over too much space and the best you can have is partial knowledge
Yeah, I think NYC is considerably more densely populated than London.
I believe NY has more people per sq meter than Tokyo. Macau is 1?
-4″Considerably”
London probably shares more in common w/ DC than NYC
aside from a few spots most of it is 3-4 storey buildings, and mixtures of ‘highstreet’ shopping districts and little mini-burbs
London did not even have a skyline until they started to build up Canary Wharf very recently I believe. Probably more due to its very different economic history compared to U.S. cities than to the general consensus (and I think formal zoning laws) that keep D.C. low rise, below the Washington monument. As it is I believe Philly had no formal zoning to keep buildings shorter than their Ben Franklin statue, but it still had no skyline until the ’80s.
NYC had working farms and lots of horses (and legal garbage disposals!) in SI and outer Queens into the ’80s, plus some areas in those places even today that are more “suburban” (even have volunteer firemen, septic tanks, other accoutrements of small-town life, etc.) so it is not an entirely “urban” city even today the way e.g. Boston is. (Toronto, of course, changed from one type of city to the other.) But certainly it takes getting used to talking to people from Western cities (Austin, Phoenix, L.A.) where the political urban/suburban distinction is almost ignored, carrying no cultural baggage, whereas out here it is utterly everything!
BTW, I don’t really know who is the P4P best. Just haven’t seen a boxer that moves like Loma in a looong time, if ever. That dude will pepper ever square inch of your face from every angle possible. The footwork is mesmerizing.

Snoligoster.
From the Editor: With the reprinting of folklore comes the views common to its time period. Eldredge’s support of the snoligoster for killing an alleged “evil-doer” mirrors his contemporaries in casually excusing murders committed against African Americans. Eldredge’s victim is given no detail beyond that of an “outlaw negro” and he dismisses his death as “good work.” Such generalities, common today as yesterday, seldom produce any real truth.

That NY Post article about the Versailles in Manhattan place for sale.
That’s some market.
It’s a lovely townhouse, but it’s still a townhouse. I don’t know what the term is–I guess it falls under marginal utility–but for most things the line that describes the relationship between dollars spent and value gained is more of a curve, possibly bell-shaped. I can’t imagine paying anything near the amount of money that place is going for and feeling like it was a good deal. Then again, I’ll never see that much money, don’t want a town house, and don’t want to live in a city, so…
I couldn’t live in the city.
It’s a crazy bubble. The more Manhattan becomes affordable only to (often absentee) millionaires and billionaires, the less interesting it gets even for those of us who prefer living in the city. My corner of SW Brooklyn is more appealing to me, at least at my age, than Manhattan which is becoming more lifeless every day with huge commercial areas vacant because nobody can afford the rent. Meanwhile in my area there is hardly a vacancy for miles in any direction.
Indeed. I was shocked upon first moving here from New Orleans (an actual 24 hour city) to find that The City That Never Sleeps pretty much rolls up the sidewalks around 9pm. Also, having grown up on the beach in Florida, the miles and miles of undeveloped beachfront property here in The Rockaways is baffling to me.
Yeh, Montreal seems to have a more vibrant after hours culture than NYC. Well, in the 90s and 80s anyway. We used to stay up until 5am partying and there were no shortage of places to go. Maybe it’s different now.
Maybe the phrase ‘the city that never sleeps’ was when going to bed at 11pm was the norm? /wink.
In the late 90s and 00s I partied all night long in Manhattan all the time. Smoking bans and rich people killed all of that, as far as I can tell but I’m middle aged now so I don’t give a shit.
I did too whenever I was there.
I was just blowing my own cock.

It’s better looking than I thought. My vision before seeing the photos was a Trumpland gilded-everything disaster.
It’s all so very confusing
But Friday’s shooting at Santa Fe High School, which left 10 dead, was carried out with a pistol and a shotgun – firearms that even gun-control advocates generally regard as utilitarian.
The reality that weapons not included in proposed assault-rifle bans can still exact a double-digit death toll further complicates a wrenching national debate about how to prevent future tragedies.
“That’s true” that weapons other than assault rifles can kill many people at once, conceded Avery W. Gardiner, co-president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which favors a federal ban on assault rifles but not on shotguns or pistols.
Gardiner added, however, that “the reason most mass shootings are conducted with assault weapons is that shooters know full well what weapon to select, if they want to kill the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time possible, and that’s an AR-15-style gun with a large-capacity magazine. If this shooter had had one of those, quite likely there would have been more deaths and injuries. But we don’t know.”
The thing that goes up really spikes the death toll. Do-something-ism FTW!
So, Avery’s conclusion is that the shooter was an ignorant underachiever and if he’d really been serious he would have chosen an AR-15 Assault Weapon Rifle with the thing that goes up and a high capacity (15 round? 30? 120?) magazine? Sounds legit.
Also, are we still doing that thing where we say something we know isn’t true enough in the hopes that people believe it? Because AR-15s are not the most commonly used weapon in mass shootings. That honor would fall to pistols, semi-automatic pistols in particular. But again, it’s not about preventing gun deaths, it’s about ending gun ownership.
Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which favors a federal ban on assault rifles but not on shotguns or pistols
Liars.
I’m almost young enough to be a Millennial and even I remember that Brady used to be called Handgun Control Inc. and that handguns were the focus of the 90s gun control debates. How stupid do they think we are?
I’ve noticed no one is willing to answer my challenge. Listen, if you’re all a bunch of COWARDS, that’s fine, but at least someone ADMIT AS MUCH and then I’ll be willing to go, or else I’M GOING TO STAND MY GROUND till someone ANSWERS ME.
WHO
or who ISN’T
into a little KAYFABE
UP IN THIS ARENA
I understand Kayfabe, but don’t follow wrestling.
*flexes muscles*
CAN YOU DETECT THE RADIOLOGICAL OUTPUT WHAT THAT COMMODIOUS IS OUTPUTTING
I’m uneducated in this matter.
Please enlighten me.
Kayfabe is a wrestling term meaning being in character. The Undertaker isn’t really a deadman, he just pretends to be and when he does it’s Kayfabe. When your out of character your shooting or giving shoot interviews. I assume he’s asking who SMELLS WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN.
I never know what the opposite of kayfabe is, in general. Like you say, “Ultimate Warrior then became ill and vomited (kayfabe).” How do you report that someone became ill and vomited in real life?
It’s pretty much the difference between openly admitting that it’s all scripted (shooting), and still pretending it is a real competition (Kayfabe). Something can really happen and then be incorporated into the story becoming Kayfabe, or be scripted from the beginning.
Sure, but my question is what is the word for it?
He shoot vomited.
Ah really, that’s what they call it! And, of course, I’m glad I randomly happen to have asked that particular question because it has the most awesome sounding answer.
Is that back arrow new?
Nobody say anything.
Glibs have a new ally! Arne Duncan says parents should keep their children out of school. (It’s probably been covered here before, but his tweetstream since Texas really is worth reading through. I have shifted my opinions on a lot of issues over the past few years, but I can honestly say Arne Duncan alone would have been enough to make even 2008 leftist Diego committed to never letting the Democrats in power again. He was one of the first Obama appointees that I disliked, and since then has found ways to ever hit new lows in reprehensibleness.)
Arne Duncan can Blow me, that is all……………….
Arne Duncan says parents should keep their children out of school.
I saw something about that earlier. Without having studied it in any detail, I’ll just say that is truly moronic. Take your kid out of school until the School Safety Fairy can guarantee nothing bad will happen? Meanwhile, your kid is where, exactly? Hanging out at 7-11 cadging smokes and trying to con some random skeeve into buying him (her!!!!!) some beer? That’s some good parenting, Lou.
Actually, school-dodging urchins who spent their days pitching pennies and playing craps and running numbers made this country great.
A very, very good book that absolutely everyone should read
Arne Duncan – who I am sure is probably comfortably ensconced in some DC lobbying horseshit – probably has a hard time conceiving that most parents can’t afford to homeschool. Not with the current tax structure.

Good burger. Good burger. Welcome to the good burger
There used to be a chain in NYC about ten years ago, unrelated to the Kenan and Kel establishment, called Good Burger. There was also a much smaller one called Better Burger, after its commitment to “natural” meat and healthiness rather than as a shot at Good Burger.
Which, well…judging from my experiences at those establishments, I am damn glad I never encountered Adequate Burger.
I was just going to mention Goodburger. They had an outpost near my old Wall Street area job. It was actually good, as described. I went looking for it a couple weeks ago and it’s now some fucking “health juice” crap place, which is an annoying trend.
Yeah, Goodburger actually wasn’t that bad now that I think about it. Five Guys is usually overcooked; Shake Shack is somewhat overrated. New York Burger Co. on 6 Ave NYC is actually the best place I have found. I don’t know why Goodburger went out of business; it was better than nearly all of the proliferation of other burger places that popped up everywhere during the New York burger boom. Better Burger (8 Ave and W 19 St, across from the Joyce) really was garbage, though. They had ostrich and buffalo, which I tried for the hell of it, but the burgers there were almost comically bad.
Keenan and Kel crashed their burger car and it wasn’t insured.
The local places near me that have good burgers are between Brown Bag Burgers and the B-Spot. Depending on if you want the cheap Five Guys style, or the Iron chef style.
Wait, you think Five Guys is cheap? You run in a different social circle than I.
If you’re talking a decent burger that you can grab, Five Guys is cheap unless you go fast food levels.
#metoo
Oh yes. Best burger I’ve had (fast casual, at least). I used to live in Chelsea and went there all the time.
Agree that 5 Guys is overcooked.
Peter Luger Steakhouse has the best storebought burger on Earth. Their patties are ground from the trimmings of their steaks and their bacon is thick-cut Irish and cooked in the Salamander at 1300° for 45 seconds. Go early on Saturday and sit at the bar (no reservation needed) or get them to-go. Seriously go do it, you will be quite happy.
Yeah, that sounds like a bucket list entry.
Peter Luger is a national treasure and their bacon is something I never knew existed. I’d have little doubt it’s excellent but am grateful for your tip. Probably not outrageously priced either for a superpremium burger. I was going to qualify fast-casual because I’ve actually never had the Five Napkin kind. Never actually sit down in anything but a diner and had a burger. (And not in diners either in NYC because NYC diners suuuuuuuuck)
*their bacon is something I’d never known existed. I have had it, and my life is changed.
Depends. Diners in the outer boroughs are fantastic. Straight out of like the fifties. There’s one near me in Bay Ridge.
Run by Dexter Jexter?
Yeah, the bacon… The burger recently went up to $11 (from $9) but it’s still a bargain. When FiL lived in Amsterdam, wifey and I would stop and pick up a half dozen burgers, vacuum seal them and tuck them in the carry-on as a gift for his wonderful hospitality. Also, diners, diners, diners. The one on Crossbay Blvd. in Howard Beach makes their own mozzarella sticks and they are dynamite, about 3 times the size of what would expect. If you schlepp out to Lawnguy Land, the Golden Reef Diner in Rockville center has a little old Sicilian man who has been making their heavenly gelato from scratch for 42 years.
$11 for the burger, or $11 for the meal?
$11 for the burger. The same as they charge for a neat Maker’s Mark.
$11 for a drink? fuck that. 15 years ago when I was back in Vegas on my brother’s dime and they charged $10 for a Jack and Coke that was too much (well, since he was paying that didn’t stop me from buying)
The one year I lived in SF was the first time I ever encountered a $10 drink. My friends and me got shitwasted and wound up at the well-known tiki joint on Snob Hill whose name I can’t remember but I had my first (non-defaulted) CC so drinks were on me! Fun times…
I will admit I never tried diners anywhere other than northern Brooklyn, LIC, the Bronx, Manhattan (especially), or the suburbs. And suburbs (not southern Westchester, which also seems to suck) is where it’s at of those areas from what I’ve seen. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a diner before 10 P.M., which certainly goes to explaining why I have never been to one in Howard Beach! I’ll give some of these a shot though. And definitely that Peter Luger burger, whose price (certainly the old price) is so insane Crazy Eddie would have been dumbfounded.
Health juice for $12. No thanks.
It always looks so nasty and unappetizing too. Like not even just the final product; the whole operation in those places. At least in NYC.
Two words. Magic Bullet.
That is actually a locally sourced, organic, WTF ever the language is supposed to be, beef patty.
I raised that cow, fed ot grass from my pasture, killed it. and ground it’s muscle tissue into hamburger meat.
It tastes pretty good.
Oh, well it does look tasty. I hate onion bread and don’t really like lettuce on my burgers but the burger certainly looks tasty.
What is the most lucrative animal to raise these days?
Long pig.
I don’t really know
I have a bull and 19 cows on my place. Each cow produces one calf about every 14 months. Right now, I can sell a calf for on the weight x about a dollar and a quarter.
I make about 20 grand a year from my herd, minus about 2 to 3k for my yearly expenses.
Other animals may be more lucrative, but I don’t know
In HS we went on a field trip to the local cow inseminating company for Ag class. Some young mormon girls weren’t understanding why Bill Clinton was in trouble. So I explained it in terms that had just been used at cow insemination place; the look on their faces was priceless.
You’d make a fine college football coach.
Also, hating onion bread and not liking lettuce means that you may as well be a communist.
Adequate Burger. lol.
You fucking guys are all animals.
*bares teeth, growls*
Get this animal a show on CNN!
Easy there, pal. This road you’re heading down never ends well.
Awesome! Now I don’t even have to order anything to sit at a Starbucks and work.
Idiots.
Give me an alley, a banana crate sit on, fingerless gloves and metal barrel fire and I’m good to go. Bring a harmonica for Muzak.
You’ve been drinking.
I actually know to check my grammar when I’m drinking.
a packing crate and some puppets, and you get Whiskey on a Sunday.

Nice.
Now I don’t even have to order anything to sit at a Starbucks and work.
Don’t forget your Hartz Flea and Tick Spray.
Maybe if a property takes 15 years to sell you’re asking too much? There’s a house on my road that can’t be more than 900 sq ft owned by some city people who used it as a cottage. The tiny house is on a tiny lot, but since it’s on the lake I know they’re asking too much for it, and unbelievably it hasn’t sold after 5yrs on the market. But they’ll be damned if they come down on the price. Sunk costs and all.
Well, when you have the Fed not only refusing to let bubbles pop, but also actively inflating them, maybe it’s rational thinking in some cases.
Get this animal a show on CNN!
Hey! I’ve got standards. No shit-flinging, for starters. I ain’t no GO-rilla.
I posted this before, and it probably remains uninteresting to most:
but Albany is in the “final 4” of the NCAA lacrosse tournament (for the first time), and one of the more-interesting thing about their team is their high-proportion of native american players *(~10 out of 40, or something like that)
but 1 of their stars is a freshman native american from canada, and 2 other starters are from the Oswego area… and anyway, holy shit are they fun to watch
they basically have a completely different kind of game. they play canadian box style, which is “go straight to the hole”/knock your defender on his ass stuff. plus very weird stick skills, backhanded shots, one handed plays, etc.
highlights of denver game
His career highlight reel
next weekend is the semi and final. worth watching.
The injuns created La Crosse, but Chris Klein made it popular.
La Crosse is a town in Wisconsin
lax is a sport
Yes, um don’t don’t know if you ever noticed; but I’m from Wisconsin, so that was my own little…never mind. I don’t care for continuous play sports they lack strategy; however I will say it is a sport. Basketball is not. It’s not a sport unless you can hit someone.
Lax is very much like hockey
its basically a game played in ‘transitions’; you sub the players out in different parts of the field. it has plenty of penalty stops and man-up/man-down situations
basically, its not “continuous play” at all.
you can quite literally coach each crew on what to do as each change of possession happens; you have your 3 men teams constantly on the sidelines developing new ideas/responses to whatever the situation is.
its not ‘stop/go’ like football,but you do have set-plays, and ability to change players and style of attack/defense as conditions demand
Yes, that is what I mean by continuous play. I don’t care about the fifteen minutes soccer takes when someone flops or the time taken while a baseball player adjusts his cup. A sport where you don’t think about the next thing you do is boring to me. When it is all reaction and no planning I get bored. People complain about the time between plays in football, but all the thought going into it is more interesting to me than people moving back and forth reacting.
“that is what I mean by continuous play”
…
well, all i can tell you is that from a player’s perspective, there’s a world of difference between ‘no time out’, ‘no subs’ soccer…
…and ‘unlimited subs, 2 time outs per half, many-penalty-situation time-outs, unlimited-substitution sports.
*im at a bar and im drunk
Oh, from a players perspective I’m sure it is fun as fuck, just like rugby. But I was talking from a viewer’s perspective. Don’t worry, I’m at home and also drunk as fuck.
Canada’s official national sport.
Weird it was never part of the sports curriculum in school for us. Hockey, hockey cosom, ringette, and even broom ball but not lacrosse. Except for the one year our gym teacher went rogue and made us play it for a couple of classes. Crazy sport.
We had a team in high school. Mostly for guys that couldn’t make the football or basketball teams. You still got a letter, though!
F?
L?
To me lacrosse was always a suburban sport. It was all over the suburbs and small towns in upstate NY but was completely foreign to a city kid like me.
that’s generally true. less so in Maryland/baltimore. there’s a bunch of black players in the game who come out of urban MD schools.
but yeah, its mostly a NY/NJ/MD/VA and canada thing – there are certainly people in the midwest / west who play, but they just don’t have the tradition. The most significant westward move was Bill Tierny (former Princeton coach) moving to Denver and making that a top-tier program, which is definitely spreading the sport out west. Also – Notre Dame is one of the top 10 programs now, and i think they are helping spread the game in the midwest.
Maryland is the state where the blacks are all lacrosse-playing Catholics. Mostly suburban too. I do love it.
Jim Brown is the only man to be the greatest player of all time in two sports. Facing him in lacrosse must’ve been frightening. Could you imagine him barrelling down the field towards you, carrying a lacrosse stick? I’d be diving out of the way.
LOL. No shit.
Anyone who might want to be entertained by great sports =
i think the albany vs. notre dame game in the quarter finals was the best play i’ve seen in a decade.
basically because the D for ND is probably the best in the entire sport – yet the dynamic play of Albany somehow exposed holes in their smothering teamwork
I notice there were a lot of black people at the Parasite wedding (aka Royal wedding). Way to go being part of white privilege. I ever hear Oprah utter that phrase….
They are not actually parasites. Show some loyalty, subject. But I will admit I am rather surprised that monarchy in general is as popular as ever, everywhere in the world, in these increasingly woke days.
But I admit I don’t understand any of these things. For instance, knighthoods have long been considered extremely contrary to Canadian values, even though monarchy is completely uncontroversial. Same thing Australia, where republicanism is fading but when Tony Abbott brought knighthoods back briefly the population (even committed monarchists) was something like 95% against it and in fact aghast, with constant jokes about suits of armor and the like; and when he gave one to Prince Philip there was utter outrage. This despite the fact that they’d been only abolished recently and Charles got one back in the day with no big deal. In fact it makes little sense to me to be appalled by knighthoods but not monarchy. Knighthoods are not, nor have they ever been, hereditary, or a title of nobility. They are an award that a commoner gets for merit, an office of service to the country. And in fact republics, including ones that are very resolutely so like France and Italy, award them without much of a thought.
Royals are the original Kim Kardashians and Paris Hiltons; famous for being famous.
That is the proper way to think about them. And about Kim and Paris and the like, for that matter.
They’re useless.
I don’t even think I’d quite say that. They’re state furniture, of sorts. Accoutrements. But you didn’t say they were useless; you said they were parasites.
Isn’t it the same thing?
And why are you taking it personally? Don’t go full Crusty on me!
My country sent them a gift of 50k.
For what?
That’s some expensive, over rated furniture.
I admit I’m being a little hard but whatever. Libertarian!
I did not mean to adopt a confrontational tone; I am sorry.
But who is Crusty?
Crusty Juggler, from the place before. He was at one time friendly to these very fokes, but got more and more confrontational before the break.
Friendly but then got confrontational to the Royal Family, or to the future Glibs? If the latter I wonder why he sticks out among all the others enough to have become a trope namer!
The glibs, and he was a big part of the community prior to about 2016, kind of like Fist Of Etiquette.
I just busting. Confront away.
Not sure what happened with Crusty or what’s his deal.
I don’t even know if he’s libertarian. He’s made some comments that left me wondering.
To be honest, in the before place, his schtick was kind of indistinguishable from OMWC’s.
Yeh, he had not nice things to say about the migration.
they basically have a completely different kind of game. they play canadian box style, which is “go straight to the hole”/knock your defender on his ass stuff. plus very weird stick skills, backhanded shots, one handed plays, etc.
The first time I saw a box lacrosse game (when I was a college player) I was completely astounded by the stick handling skills on display.
You should get together with Q, he seems to do a lot of stick handling.

Hurling (Irish: iománaíocht, iomáint) is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic and Irish origin. It is administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The game has prehistoric origins, and has been played for 3,000 years. One of Ireland’s native Gaelic games, it shares a number of features with Gaelic football, such as the field and goals, the number of players, and much terminology. There is a similar game for women called camogie (camógaíocht). It shares a common Gaelic root with the sport of shinty (camanachd), which is played predominantly in Scotland.
The objective of the game is for players to use a wooden (ash) stick called a hurley (in Irish a camán, pronounced /ˈkæmən/ or /kəˈmɔːn/) to hit a small ball called a sliotar /ˈʃlɪtər/ between the opponents’ goalposts either over the crossbar for one point, or under the crossbar into a net guarded by a goalkeeper for one goal, which is equivalent to three points. The sliotar can be caught in the hand and carried for not more than four steps, struck in the air, or struck on the ground with the hurley. It can be kicked, or slapped with an open hand (the hand pass) for short-range passing. A player who wants to carry the ball for more than four steps has to bounce or balance the sliotar on the end of the stick, and the ball can only be handled twice while in his possession.
Provided that a player has at least one foot on the ground, a player may make a shoulder to shoulder charge on an opponent:
who is in possession of the ball, or
who is playing the ball, or
when both players are moving in the direction of the ball to play it
No protective padding is worn by players. A plastic protective helmet with a faceguard is mandatory for all age groups, including senior level, as of 2010. The game has been described as “a bastion of humility”, with player names absent from jerseys and a player’s number decided by his position on the field.[1]

In the morning I’m taking my kid to his last day of kindergarten. After that, I’m taking my wife to the doctor to find out if I’m gonna have another boy, or a girl.
My wife made my boy a shirt to wear to school tomorrow. It says, “Straight Outta Kindergarten” in exactly the same font and background that you think it does.
Congrats Lachowsky. Bring ’em up right.
Glad for you after that rough patch.
Thanks man. That was rough. I’m glad, we’re past it.
Technically, your wife is going to have the kid. You just get to assist in the delivery room. :-p
Seriously, though, congrats again!

In addition to his lacrosse legacy, I will always love (as do we all) Chris Klein for inspiring one of the greatest pieces of entertainment journalism of all time.
I had a good friend with the same name (before the actor was known) and ever since it’s impossible to find him because any search turns up that idiot actor. If you’re out there Chris, wazzup?!
He wasn’t an actor, but was scouted because of his looks. He does a great job playing innocent and dumb because I think he really is.
Wikipedia, which does not lie, says that he auditioned for Election which was his big break. (And people really did talk about him like he was going to be the next Tom Cruise for about five minutes.)
Seann William Scott is a person who is actually extremely talented and I am surprised didn’t vault into superstardom. He could have been like Ryan Reynolds, Chan Tatum to some extent, Chris Evans or the other fat Chris guy who I’m not remembering, do the “goofy handsome guy” thing which a hugely lucrative thing these days (probably inspired by the older generation of Oceans series guys; he’s actually more talented than nearly all of his peers.
This is the tidbit I read “Was discovered by Alexander Payne at his high school, where the director was scouting for locations to shoot dark comedy Election; the 1999 film marked Klein’s feature debut.” But I’m not his biographer or anything.
You assumed he was scouted because of his looks, you lookist! It’s people like you that are the reason that the lives of attractive women in this country are so difficult.
Stealing OMWC’s move.
OK, I’ve seen enough “comebacks” to give him the benefit of the doubt here. So he was a drunk in his thirties. Who wasn’t?!
I wasn’t, but I am. Verb tenses change things.
LOL – even his career path is boringly predictable
Doh! A woman I crushed on back in HS is back in the area and last week when I was at the bar a friend told me she was back in town. So I sent her a message on FB to call me to get together. I don’t have FB on my phone and rarely check my messages, but last night she sent me a message she was at the bar down the street and I didn’t see it till now.
What the hell are you still doing here?
she was there last night, not tonight.
I messaged her to text or call next time, but I have the FB tab open as well.
Take charge. Lean on her. Get her down to that bar NOW! Tell her she’ll be there in 15 minutes and to forget the makeup and bring a sammich.
I don’t have her number, just the FB, so that message is all I can do right now.
Sit back and watch a movie instead. Might I recommend Stroker Ace?
Damn, I turn into an asshole when I’m not drinking.

So, I popped down the street to see if the lady was at a local bar. Didn’t know one of them was closed Sunday nights, the other was empty; this place used to be filled with alcoholics oh how it has fallen.
Gave it shot. Good on ya. BTW, saw this stuff at the store the other day. Ever see that before?

Oh you voice them too? Very nice! I knew you were not a professional actor, but that was impressive. Your characters sound very different and have personalities that come out nicely in the acting.
Yes. I voice, animate and write. My BFA coming through!

Yes, how could people who as children were treated to a story of a peoples uprooted from their homeland and led by a literal manchild who had to learn how to be a leader be upset that this same material is given the treatment of something you would show a 2 year old to distract them while you tinkle? The gall to expect things for children to be at least as depthful as 80s toy commercials!
