“THE STEVE SMITH SANCTION” – The Conclusion

Hapless bunch of …
They are used to useless circling in the Hague.
@#$% missed the turn…now I have to circle back.

OK, here I am. Just going to have to wait it out. Sure hope this dart with the neurotoxin is enough to take down STEVE SMITH. If not, there will be one less fondue miner laboring for the Swiss…

Wait a minute – there is a nice little shadowy spot. I think I will try there.

Perfect.

Wait a mimute…there is someone in the shadows! Limping?

“You are walking with a limp.” I readied the dart.

Instead of a roar or STEVE SMITH TALK, I get “I am 2 months from 90 and have had 3 back operations…of course I am limping, jongen!”

“Dad?!”

“Oh goody, you retain some wits about you.”

“So it was you…what was with all the hints?”

“Those were the places I lived in 1951-1953 when I started medical school. Figured the only way to get you there was via STEVE SMITH.”

“That isn’t fair!”

“It worked, ja?”

“…ja vader.”

“Oh, jongen even remembers some Nederlands. I trust the lesson has been learned?”

“Ja. Listen to father and stay away from the SMITHS.”

“Correct, jongen. Time to go home now. Nostalgia is fine, but our family left here for numerous reasons. Busybody bunch of…”

THE END

            Hype, that sounds like it has Potential, is this a real thing?

          6. It was (according to at least one bourbon soaked troubadour), but the joint appears to be closed.

          7. Tres Cool

            Id go with cream of mushroom soup for that entree.

          8. Chipwooder

            Cream of mushroom soup + a large amount of crumbled Club crackers + copious amount of black pepper = gustatory bliss

          9. Spudalicious

            If you leave it on the counter for a few weeks.

        2. Old Man With Candy

          I’ve got some and now I want onion soup, but it’s too late to start it. Fuck Swiss, that bastard, getting me all hungry.

          1. Playa Manhattan

            But what kind of broth will you use?

          2. Spudalicious

            He’ll use cans of Swanson’s Vegetable broth. I mean seriously, how fucked up is that?

          3. Playa Manhattan

            I’d rather shove an M-80 up a dog’s butt.

          4. juris imprudent

            PM that sounds like a very nasty soup broth.

  2. “I trust the lesson has been learned?”

    Indeed, it has

  3. SP

    LOL

    Nicely played, Swiss.

  4. Pan Zagloba

    BUT IF THAT FATHER, WHERE STEVE SMITH?

    1. Obviously he actually IS trying to mediate the Great Reindeer Crisis between Sweden and Norway…

      1. Pan Zagloba

        In retrospect, as long as the answer isn’t “right behind you”, it’s fine…

      2. Mr Lizard

        And by mediate mean…

            HEY YUFUS!

          2. Caput Lupinum

            The top part of Scandinavia.
            Basically, since Scandinavia looks like a cock and balls, Lapland is the bush.

      Good ROI i suppose

    2. Playa Manhattan

      He’s definitely winning the truth telling competition this year.

  9. So does this mean no more STEVE SMITH links posts?

  10. Trigger Hippie

    I only caught the final two entries to the series. At any point did Thayer David make a cameo and get a well deserved comeuppance?

    Dimwitted lefty type can’t figure out simple problem.

    These fucking people are much more obsessed with Russian than Joe McCarthy and James Jesus Angleton ever were. It’s been hysterical watching the exact same people who hooted over Obama’s “The 1980s called and wanted their foreign policy back” turn into a modern day version of HUAC.

    1. Count Potato

      I gave up trying after Louise Mensch said the Russians were behind #metoo.

    2. CPRM

      Every leftist politician must be a nigerian bot; they’re always asking people to give them money for a benefit they will never get.

    3. Playa Manhattan

      They aren’t actually obsessed with Russia. In fact, most of them couldn’t tell you anything about Russia.

      These are people who run in such insular circles that they don’t have anyone in their lives who are willing or able to explain to them what really happened in 2016.

  12. AlmightyJB

    Get off my lawn.

  13. Sean

    I got points today. I recognized my gf got her hair done today when I got home.

    1. Mr Lizard

      Well then she can look good while making you a sammich…

      1. Sean

        She went to the liquor store and picked up all 3 bottles of CEHT bourbon for me today. She’s awesome.

      You can front run that by checking your credit card statement with the app.

    I suspect this has been posted before, but in other Lapland cultural news

    Eight of the Thai cave boys have now been rescued. Four boys and their coach remain.

      Thai cave boys sounds dirty.

    “The employees of the popular clothing company Feminist Apparel thought they were creating tools for the resistance. The online store’s viral shirts and accessories — which feature sayings like “Cats against catcalls” and “Trans rights are human rights” — became staples at events like the Women’s March and Pride. The brand amassed over 360k followers on Instagram and Facebook and was behind viral moments like the “No Catcall Zone” signs that took over NYC. Plus every item sold helped support an independent artist, and in many cases, a partnering organization that would receive part of the proceeds.

    It all came to a grinding halt in June of 2018 when Feminist Apparel staff discovered that the brand’s founder and CEO Alan Martofel had an admitted history of sexually abusing women. In fact, he claims it’s the reason why he started the company in the first place. After asking for his resignation, all nine employees were fired without notice or severance. (Only Martfel and an outside consultant remained.)”

    1. Playa Manhattan

      Mmmm…. That’s tasty.

    2. BakedPenguin

      Gosh a male feminist with a history of sexually abusing women? You don’t say.

      1. Nephilium

        So, does that mean they weren’t a true male feminist?

      2. Chipwooder

        IKR???? What are the odds?

        Reminds me of a passage from one of PJ O’Rourke’s early ’90s books. He was discussing some kind of forum at his alma mater of Miami of Ohio of the same kinds of campus leftist groups we hear about today. One of them was called “Men Against Rape”, which he said sounded to him suspiciously like “Dobermans Against Biting Children”.

        1. BakedPenguin

          Neph & Chip (and anyone else) There are a bunch of videos on creepy male feminists if you want to watch. Basically, it’s probably a good idea to tell all your female friends to avoid self-described male feminists.

      “Detroit’s water rates are some of the highest in the country”

      Fucking republicans!

        Well, we do know the free market is to be blamed.

    “The gender wage gap may begin with children’s allowances

    A new study from the maker of a kids’ allowance app suggests the gender pay gap may begin in childhood, at least in homes where children are fortunate enough to get weekly handouts from their parents.

    According to one year of data from 10,000 families who use the BusyKid app, parents give girls an average $6.71 per week, about half the $13.80 boys received.

    To be sure, the study results—which the company published on its blog—are not scientific. In 2015, researchers from the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research did find that boys earn more for fewer tasks, but the gap they found in pay for chores wasn’t nearly as large. And, oddly, the allowance gap is the only dramatic split in the BusyKids report. Apparently boys and girls save equal amounts (about $24-$25 per week) and tend to spend comparable sums, too.

    Still, the idea that a large gender gap exists in allowances doesn’t seem extremely far fetched. The actual wage pay gap is the tardigrade of economic injustices: so persistent that it almost inspires awe. Perhaps we do need to spend more time searching for its earliest roots.”

    I can’t feel my legs.

    1. Chipwooder

      My son gets a higher allowance because he does a lot more to help around the house. I love my daughter to bits but she will slip away to her room and quietly read if you don’t jump all over her ass to do her chores.

      1. RAHeinlein

        OT: Very sorry to hear about your dog.

        1. Chipwooder

          Thanks, man. I appreciate your saying so.

      To be sure…
