Autumn is the best season.

  • Beautiful, complex, ever-changing views, that surprise one as one turns a corner.
  • Crisp, cool, low-humidity air.
  • Leaves to wade through, releasing that wonderful scent and that fun rustling noise.
  • Apples and pears to pick.
  • The Fucking Hate Birds, the Birds That Hate go away.
  • The lawn no longer needs mowing, yet there is no snow to shovel.
  • The final burst of ripening vegetables.
  • Fewer humans in the grocery store in the middle of the day.
  • “Indian” Summer.
  • REAL football
  • No more mosquitoes.
  • Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.
  • Apple cider and doughnuts.
  • The annual visit from a beloved European friend.
  • Pressing colorful leaves in wax paper to hang in the window.
  • Wonderful deserted lakes on which to canoe and kayak.
  • Lower electric bills, because a/c is off and heat is not yet on.
  • The return of casseroles, fondue, and heavier red wines.

Do you agree with me, and are therefore correct? Or do you have a different, inferior, opinion?

          Fail. Not fall. Fail. I feel your pain.

          1. Spudalicious

            Damn, wrong post. Would that be a Brook’s?

          2. Florida Man

            No. Brooks is completely new entry replying to a previous comment

          3. Spudalicious

            Copy. Dementia then.

          4. Don Escaped Texas

            There should be a site dictionary that would, of course, define the legendary Gilmore.

            I’m rather terrified that something would come to be named after me; I’m trying to remain a third string sort of Glib and just hope not to be traded back to TOS for a bucket of balls and a bag of cement.

    1. Spudalicious

      See above. I’m headed to the bottom of the comments now.

  3. Florida Man

    There are two seasons here, dry & wet. I prefer the dry season because the fishing is better.

    1. Yusef drives a Kia

      Less hot is nice, shorts in January….

      1. Florida Man

        We have X-mas videos of us as kids riding our bikes in shorts and T-shirts.

    2. I’m Here To Help

      I used to have a Jeep Wrangler. I’d put the top down in October, and put it back up in April. Love the dry season in Florida!

      Wet, not so much. I developed kidney stones twice this summer working out in the yard to the point of bad dehydration. As much as I hate the bastards, the snowbirds have the right idea…

  4. Mojeaux

    Autumn.

    Fall
    Spring
    Winter
    Summer

    1. Rhywun

      You are correct sir, in exactly that order.

      Too bad fall is brief speed-bump between summer and winter here.

    2. Count Potato

      Winter is better than Summer as you head South towards the equator.

  6. Raphael

    Autumn is also my favorite season. I hate snow-shoveling and where I live gets a load of snow so I never look forward to that. It’s also not the raging inferno that is Summer and Spring doesn’t really exist where I live. Autumn is good civilization #changemymind.

  7. Semi-Spartan Dad

    First, I believe you took that picture from my pond. It’s one of the major reasons, if not the biggest, we bought our property.

    My favorite season is Spring. It’s still cool out,largely insect free, and is a time for new life here on the farm. Fall would be a close second though. Summer is too hot for doing much, though I greatly enjoy having a few drinks in the pool. Winter doesn’t have much going for it besides gloom, frozen water troughs, and expensive bales of hay.

  8. AlmightyJB

    Preaching to the choir SP. Still waiting for that crisp air though. The humidy hanging around late this year.

    1. Rhywun

      Expecting thunderstorms in a couple hours here that are supposed to blow that shit out. ????

      1. AlmightyJB

        Yeah, we had storms this morning that cooled things down. Was still pretty humid today but forecast looks better. Planning a nice long walk at the park Saturday AM:)

    2. Drake

      Love autumn – if it doesn’t rain every damn day.

  9. zwak

    As I am a ginger, Autumn.

    1. SP

      I am so sorry. But even gingers are welcome here at Glibs.

      1. Yusef drives a Kia

        Yep 🙂

  10. Timeloose

    Fall, winter, summer, spring.

    Fall is the best for the reasons SP mentioned. Fall Is cool not cold, winter is great as I love bunding up, summer is great in short doses, spring is only good after winter gets too long.

    1. Rhywun

      Spring’s biggest flaw, like fall, is that it’s way too short.

      1. Don Escaped Texas

        Spring only sighed
        Summer had to be satisfied
        – Townes Van Zandt

        Texas in eight words

        1. Timeloose

          I had that experience as well with a few south TX winters. The cool air blows in for a few hours, then blows out, and the heat and humidity return. I used to love going to the HEB in shorts while everyone got out thier long coats, hats, and gloves.

    2. Fall, Spring (till it gets warm), Winter, Summer.

  11. Tres Cool

    Spring.
    Cause its time to plant stuff.

  12. Pi Guy

    I’ say:
    Spring
    Fall
    Summer
    Winter

    The woman with whom I’m this close *holds thumb and forefinger 1 cm apart* to convincing to becoming Mrs. Pi votes:
    Fall
    Spring
    Fall
    Fall

    She really likes Fall. Oh also says, “and where the he’ll is the pumpkin up in this joint?”

    1. SP

      Well, clearly, the hopefully-future-Mrs-Pi is a good woman.

  13. Spudalicious

    Not only is Autumn the best season of the year, September is the best month of the year. Warm days, cool nights bright blue skies and the beginning of the fall colors. I live for September.

    1. Raphael

      Plus it’s one of the best songs from Earth, Wind, and Fire.

        1. straffinrun

          Sorry, but I forgot about this one. Their best by far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlFMvPAg0YQ

    2. Suthenboy

      In Loouisiana September is still summer. I still have hummingbirds eating me out of house and home. 16 lbs of sugar this week and it is only wednesday.

      1. mindyourbusiness

        Cheer up (?), Suthen. Here in Mizzery ours left a day or so ago. Probably only a week or two more.

        1. Suthenboy

          God I hope so. They are so fat they are flying sluggish. Surely they are ready to go. My stove has a pot of sugar water on it around the clock being cycled from pot to jar to feeder constantly. We put a gallon out at a time and it lasts 3 or 4 hours.

          1. Don Escaped Texas

            The last few are headed out of Memphis now…should be there in a week.

      2. Spudalicious

        Location really makes a difference. In the SF Bay Area, it was October. Although I have to say that I was shooting ducks in regular pants and a t-shirt last October. I even got a sunburn in the blind.

        I feel your pain. I go through a bag of finch food every 3-4 weeks.

    3. SP

      No. October.

      1. commodious spittoon

        Don’t put any stock in horoscopes, but I’ve always liked being a Libra.

        1. Spudalicious

          Libra’s rock. Just ask us.

        2. SP

          My Dad is a Libra, which is why I am mostly MIA from Glibs this week. One of our best gal pals is also a Libra. I love Libras.

      2. Spudalicious

        No. September.

        *rolls up sleeves*

        1. SP

          *nonchalantly examines favorite ban hammer*

          1. Spudalicious

            That’s just plain mean, right there.

          2. SP

            I’m resisting the patriarchy.

      3. Suzy Creamcheese

        Yes! October! Autumn, Summer, Winter, Spring.

  14. Raven Nation

    When I lived in Australia, it was always summer I looked forward to, no matter how hot.

    Now, it’s fall: the weather in this part of the country is at its best; football, hockey season on the horizon, Thanksgiving (that’s still fall, right), the quintessential American holiday.

    And fall also brings the beautiful, innocent optimism of freshman students before they encounter my first exam of the semester.

    1. Rhywun

      What part of Australia? My understanding is that the weather there is more or less the flip-side of the US – which for me means worse as you approach the equator.

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        The Outback where he drank Foster’s and ran with the blue tongue lizards in a Hawthorne jersey.

        1. Raven Nation

          Hawthorne??!!

          *spits on ground *

      2. Raven Nation

        Mostly around Brisbane. Summers like New York, winters more like Cali, autumn usually wet & chilly.

    2. SP

      And, yes, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I can’t believe I missed that in my list.

  15. Rebel Scum

    Winter: No bugs and no yard work. Perhaps something to do with being of Slavic descent. But I like spring, summer, and fall for beach and water-sports from boating to pwc’s to fishing to boogie-boarding.

    But I live in VA. We are prone to experiencing all of the seasons in the span of a week.

    1. Rhywun

      We are prone to experiencing all of the seasons in the span of a week.

      Yeah, same in NYC.

      1. MD, right on the bay. Basically the same weather along the coast from Norfolk on up through your neck of the woods, give or take a degree. Except, ironically, we get no breeze. Every other building is a sail loft, and we get zippy wind. Nada.

    2. AlmightyJB

      There is something to be said for winter. After New Years everything seems a bit quiter for a while.

  16. Suthenboy

    When i was young, summer = swimming and bikinis
    I am not young anymore. Fall now.

    1. The image of you in a bikini is truly frightening. :-p

      1. Spudalicious

        OMWC would probably look better, what with his man titties and all.

      2. JaimeRoberto

        Scary white boy indeed.

  17. commodious spittoon

    Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.

    OHFERCRISSAKE, I’d forgotten. It’s been years since I lived anywhere it mattered. And campus is right near the park…

  18. wchipperdove

    Autumn. The temperatures suit me better, and there seems to be a better mood all around.

    1. Rhywun

      Yup. Hot, humid weather makes me miserable.

      1. AlmightyJB

        Yeah, I wasn’t born with gills, I prefer breathing air to water.

  19. Florida Man

    Does anybody have a recommendation for online spirit retailer? I want to get a bottle of Michtner’s 10 year old single barrel rye.

    1. commodious spittoon

      I picked up a bottle of Two Stars Kentucky bourbon ‘cuz it was on sale. I’m more of a scotch guy, to the extent I’m anything besides a drunk, but this is inoffensive and clean. Mellow forward, buttery finish. I also bought a six-pack of Jim Beam Bud someone mentioned here.

      1. Florida Man

        I haven’t had that one. The last bourbon I had was Elijah Craig single barrel. I’m a big Rye fan and the reason I want a 10 year Rye is to celebrate my 10thanniversary of grad school graduation.

        1. commodious spittoon

          ‘Grats! I don’t know anything about rye. What’s an okay bargain brand you’d recommend?

          1. Florida Man

            Bulliet’s is easy to find and usually around $25. It’s 95 percent Rye and good straight or mixed. If you primarily mix your whiskey Rittenhouse is less expensive and mixes well. If you want to go higher end I like Angel’s Envy for sweet and Sagamore Spirit for Spicy.

    2. Spudalicious

      Michter’s is good, I would recommend Knob Creek Small Batch Rye.

      1. Florida Man

        I’ll put on the list. I’m a sucker for trying new whiskey.

  20. dorvinion

    Autumn

    Cool nights
    Pleasant days
    Mostly bug free
    Generally dry air
    Cider
    My downstairs reaches an excellent temperature to make ales and hard ciders.

    1. SP

      And, yet, we have received no hard ciders from you. Hmm.

  21. Suthenboy

    Speaking of fall, over the years I have had a few requests for photographs of our timberland. This fall after the frost kills off the red bugs I will bring my Eos along with me and get some photos. There are some fantastic trees with shooting, one in particular is a magnolia right on the creek that must be ten feet in diameter at the base – If it is still there. The creek had begun to encroach on its roots the last time I saw it. There are also some trees I had cut the tops out of when they were young because they were bent so badly by vines. By trimming the tops out they will sprout a limb that takes over as the main trunk. They are full grown now and you can barely tell unless you know what you are looking at. I will get some examples of that also.
    Anyway, fall photo shoot coming up.

    1. AlmightyJB

      Looking forward to that.

    2. SP

      Woohoo! Can’t wait!

  22. Timeloose

    Speaking of autum it’s time for me to fire up the smokeless fire pit. These suckers are great. They are made of welded SS and have two walls. The fire in the inner wall heats up the fresh air in the outer wall that is then blown across the top of the fire. This hot air is O2 rich compared to the fire so it burns up all the smoke and ashes. No Smokey fire and no clothes covered in ash.

    1. Rhywun

      Neat. Makes me wish I had an outdoors.

    2. Florida Man

      I was reading whiskey advocate this morning and I saw they make a small box you can put your cocktail in to smoke. Pretty cool, but pricey.

  23. juris imprudent

    Fall means sleeping with the windows open after a summer of conditioned air. So where the hell is fall this year?

  24. FOS

    Fall
    Summer
    Spring
    Winter

    1. Certified Public Asshat

      Finally the correct ranking. Looks like most everyone here agrees fall is the best, but winter sucks. February in particular, sucks the most.

      1. Suthenboy

        Late January through February is the starving time. There is nothing left to eat in the woods besides sweet gum seed. That is pitiful. I always feel bad for all of the skinny critters trying to pick seed a quarter the size of sesame seed out of those cursed balls. How they make it through to march is a mystery to me. No sun, grey sky, cold pissy rain.
        It is rough on everyone else but I look forward to it because it is planting time for me. The seed are just starting to fall so I am collecting as many as I can.

    1. Chafed

      Disappointed. I was expecting a Q like post.

  25. LJW

    With a growing family I’ve found the time between Halloween and Christmas to be the most enjoyable. So I guess late Fall early Winter.

  26. straffinrun

    “The lawn no longer needs mowing, yet there is no snow to shovel.”

    Euphemism? Also, you forgot rainy season. Comes twice a year here and we’re in the second one now. My undies never dry out.

  27. mindyourbusiness

    Spring. New planting, very little other yard work, bird song we haven’t heard since late October. I’d pick Autumn for first place except for raking leaves and the lousy good for nothing ^)##!* sweet gum balls. Sweet gum trees are God’s joke on urban humanity.

    1. Florida Man

      Is that like the halls Sycamore trees drop?

      1. mindyourbusiness

        Nope. These guys are about the same diameter as Sycamore balls, but they’re covered with little spikes. You do NOT want to walk barefoot on a lawn one of these trees craps on. Unless you’re into masochism.

        1. Florida Man

          *tubs chin* masochism you say…

          1. Florida Man

            I really need to keep a better eye on my phones autocorrect.

    2. Suthenboy

      Not just urban humanity. They are weeds that crowd out the trees that are worth something for food, lumber and shelter. It wont make lumber, it wont burn worth a damned and makes a pathetic amount of food for wildlife. I kill them with prejudice. I leave one large sweet gum per acre for birds and squirrels when everything else is eaten. The rest get cut in the fall and the sprouts again in the spring.

    1. commodious spittoon

    Winter

    Keeping in mind I don’t do well in heat. But I hate taking 5 minutes to get dressed to go outside. And darkness for most of the day.

    1. Yeah, I enjoy the odd cigarette at home, and going out back to smoke turns into like a hobo costume party: gym shorts, flip flops, Carhartt/hoodie. There are a lot of things that don’t get done because I don’t feel like putting on three layers of clothing.

  30. Chipping Pioneer

    Favourite months?

    1. May
    2. October

    1. Florida Man

      January & July

      1. Chipping Pioneer

        July in Florida? Please elaborate.

        1. Florida Man

          4th & Fire works, family reunion, beach, river, pool, lakes, water skiing, cookouts, fishing, water parks, wife is off work, cold beer, that’s off the top of my head.

          1. Chipping Pioneer

            Fair enough. Do you have a spare room?

          2. Florida Man

            You know it!

        2. Rhywun

          Hibernation season? I can’t imagine getting anything done in that swelter.

      2. Suzy Creamcheese

        1. October

        2. August

    2. straffinrun

      October is great. Especially the surprises.

    3. Certified Public Asshat

      October, September, May, November, June, December, July, April, August, March, January, getting your testicles caught in your zipper, February.

  31. Grumbletarian

    Winter – Skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, or just running around in the snow. Driving in the snow is fun too.
    Spring – Skiing or snowboarding without having to really bundle up against the cold is so exhilarating. Late spring is great for kayaking before it gets too hot.
    Fall – Eh, not yet winter, but at least the foliage turning is pretty when you’re hiking in the mountains.
    Summer – Fucking humid as hell, hot as hell, bugs, instant sunburn, periodically broken up by days where it’s not godawful hot.

  32. Tundra

    I love all four seasons. Even winter is amazing.

    Autumn, though, is special. After the heat, humidity and mosquitoes, the first few cool mornings really fire me up. We have a lot of colorful trees, so the foliage is spectacular. Mosquitoes disappear, evening fires smell awesome and the dog acts like a puppy. Wearing a quarter zip, jeans and flip flops makes me happy too.

    Yep. Autumn is my fave.

    1. straffinrun

      Minnesoda is an interesting place. You have a different coat for each season. What’s a quarter zip? If one of your grandparents is from Osaka?

      1. Chipping Pioneer

        Lacist!

        1. Count Potato

          Never owned one.

    2. SP

      You are on the way to redeeming yourself.

      1. Tundra

        Don’t tease me.

  33. Heroic Mulatto

    The lawn no longer needs mowing, yet there is no snow to shovel.

    Yet no mention of having to rake stinky, smelly, moldy dead leaves.
    Sorry, SP, but, into the trash you go…

    1. Chipping Pioneer

      When I lived in SoCal, I had an odd conversation with my Dad:

      “What did you do today?”

      “Blew the snow out of the driveway. What did you do?”

      “Cut the grass.”

    2. SP

      The only reason to rake leaves is to have piles of them in which to jump or throw one’s kids or for the dog to run through and scatter. Why else would one persist in this madness?

        1. Spudalicious

          Snow mold wreaked havoc on our landscaping a couple of years ago. The lawn recovered just fine, but I had to rip out a number of mature shrubs.

        2. PudPaisley

          When I first got my pesticide license, one of the first jobs I did was spray mercury on all the golf greens and tees at a CC where I worked. Some of the insecticides we used to use back then (late 80’s) were not much different than nerve gasses. Insecticides and fungicides have mostly gotten much safer since then. Very few products bring on raging headaches, clammy cold skin, and profuse sweating with chills nowadays.

            There’s a lot of truth in that movie. Practically the entire grounds crew smoked weed, including the bosses, and the mechanic was our dealer. We drank beer to excess almost every day after work, even on the weekends starting around 8:30 or 9 am. It was by far the funnest job I ever had.

    September-October in New Mexico is the best place on the planet to be.

    Mild days, mild nights, the smell of green chile being roasted and pinon being burned. And the sky. A blue that cannot be reproduced in the USA. High desert, no humidity. Aspens mingling with the oaks and the Virginia Creeper. Orange, yellow, red, green.

      Springs here, only because I’ve always liked summer better than winter. That’s starting to change. Then fall, obvs. Then summer, because, I mean, honestly, you’re mostly indoors, and when you’re not it’s not like you’re in Tuscon, right? So winter last.

      When I first started watching this (along with Biden’s comments on the FBI in Thomas’s hearings), I was starting to think that he was once a sane, reasonable person capable of getting past partisan politics. I was quickly disabused of this notion as I realized he was just better at hiding it then.

    Me on FB: “If Kavanaugh is guilty of these allegations, he obviously shouldn’t be appointed and possibly be charged. If the ladies are lying, what should happen to them?”

    Some lady that is a friend of a friend (Never met her before): ” If you don’t try to understand there is no sense wasting my time explaining this to you. Just know you are fortunate that you have not experienced what so many of us have experienced. This attitude adds fuel to the fire and makes the pain all come back. I am 57 and I am finding I am re-living something that happened to me when I was 15 that was incredibly painful. And again, when I was 19. These wounds are deep. Those of us who have lived these abuses totally get why the pain re-surfaces so many years later. None of us would wish this on anyone. We are glad for you who have made it through life unscathed by any sexual abuse. But please don’t demean what we have gone through. Stop making us victims again.”

    Why would I delete my account when I get delicious stuff like this?

    1. commodious spittoon

      Mine is scheduled for deletion tomorrow. They so very graciously gave me a week to reconsider. Nah.

        Damn, that’s tempting. The only thing I use it for is party reminders and the very occasional blurb from family.

      Did you send her the article about that football player that went to jail on a false rape charge and couldn’t prove it until he got out and the girl asked to be FB friends?

    3. Rebel Scum

      Why would I delete my account when I get delicious stuff like this?

        Ha. My sister is worse than that lady. She’s already deleted me. We got into it when she told me that supporting free speech is protecting neo nazis. “You have a half Japanese child. You have to vote against Trump!” Told her something about going, fucking and herself.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          One presidential candidate called young black men “‘superpredators” who have “no conscience, no empathy,” and needed to be “brought…to heel,” and the other candidate was Donald J. Trump.

          1. straffinrun

            Good point. I didn’t even vote for Trump, I just made the sin of not letting that be known.

        2. Raphael

          I am sorry you got a sister like that. I’m glad mine is at least more concerned about getting her own life and her kids’ lives in order along with paying her bills rather than all this brouhaha.

  40. PudPaisley

    Fall, spring, summer, winter.

    Fall for all the reasons mentioned – cooler, less humidity, fall colors, football, October is the best month, and Thanksgiving is the best holiday weekend. It’s also time for my annual Musky fishing trip in Mercer, WI in 8 days. Things should be close to peak fall color up there by then. Having a landscaping business, it’s also the time of year that work pressures slow down and I can take some weekends off without worrying about things. I also love doing fall cleanups and cutting back trees, shrubs, and perennials.

    Second favorite time of year is April to early May. Those first few days that I can smell the soil after thawing is rejuvenating after winter. Also watching plants come back to life and bursting with new growth, spring flowers, and all the different shades of green in spring. I love doing spring cleanups also.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      Thanksgiving is the best holiday weekend.

      I’ll grant you that.

      1. Chipping Pioneer

        Of many things, it is the thing that Americans do WAY better than Canadians.

        Fall because Halloween time, Cannibals and torches…….

  41. Trials and Trippelations

    Fall is best. chilling outside can actually be enjoyed without bugs and humidity.

  42. westernsloper

    Y’all be smoking crack. Fuck the fall. It is the bringer of death that is winter. Sure it draws you in with the pretty colors and ya, it is not hot anymore but soon you could be dieing a slow death passed out in a snow drift. This would never happen if there was no fall. Fall is evil. Evil like your first wife sort of fucking evil. Summer is the season god intended had not the tree of life been eaten and we all lived in paradise. Summer is glorious and brings life!

      1. westernsloper

        Heat stroke? Had it before, not this summer though thanks to my pool. We tied a record of days over 90F and I went no AC all summer. AC is for pussies too.

        1. Yusef drives a Kia

          at 90 sure, but you can’t work in a modern Office building without it, especially not in the hot lands, or Atlanta, or D.C. or Huston or……..

          1. westernsloper

            Why the hell would anybody want to do that? And we were at upper 90’s or low 100’s by my thermometer for most of the summer It was near perfect for months.

        2. Rhywun

          Yeah, but you don’t have any humidity. On the rare NYC days that are 90+ with no humidity I can go without AC too.

          1. westernsloper

            True that. We are now entering the season when it gets even lower and I have to bathe in lotion for the next five months. Hands crack and bleed. It sucks.

          2. Rhywun

            I remember that from upstate NY – colder and much less humid than NYC. My knuckles bled every winter. But the summers were glorious. Fair trade, IMHO.

    Brett Kavanaugh molested me in college. We played together on the Yale basketball team. One day after practice, I was taking a shower in the locker room. Brett Kavanaugh walked up behind me and started giving me a reach around, his smallish Caucasian penis nestled between my butt cheeks. I was too shocked to tell him to stop, and I didn’t turn around to see who it was, but I know it was Brett Kavanaugh who was giving me a reach around, with his smallish Caucasian penis nestled between my butt cheeks.

    When I, err, he finished, he walked out without saying a word. I kept it to myself all these years.

    No, I didn’t go to Yale, and I haven’t played organized basketball since 5th grade, but I know that Brett Kavanaugh gave me a reach around in the Yale basketball team’s locker room shower, with his smallish Caucasian penis nestled between my butt cheeks.

          Wake up at 7 am, slip into your cutoffs, yell at mom that you’ll be home at 7 pm, head to the local garage and buy a patched up inner tube for a buck, ride your bike down to Duncan creek and hop in. The ice cold water shrunk our balls and we loved it. Age 8~12 every summer vacation. Great place for a kid to grow up. We even had a pervy Catholic priest in town to keep us on our toes.

            As a kid I remember my gramma bringing us to the Apple river to go tubing. I swear it was brand new thing at the time. They had one outfit running tubers up to the top of the river. My cousins and I couldn’t have been more than 10 but no one thought anything of letting us float that river by ourselves for 3 hours.

            Went back as a drunken lout in my twenties and couldn’t believe what an industry had sprung up around the Apple river by then. Had a great time being a drunken lout and harassing young ladies. That one trip alone cost me a SC seat for this and about 20 more lifetimes. (still worth it though)

          3. Tundra

            I was a swimming instructor/lifeguard at a local pool in high school. In the summer a bunch of college kids came back to work while they were off. It was very social and always included a trip to the Apple River where the college kids would buy us all the beer we wanted and made sure we didn’t die. I have very fond memories of that stretch of river, girls in bikini tops and Daisy Dukes, and throwing empties at the on-shore targets.

            Awesome.

          4. straffinrun

            About halfway to the twin cities from where I was. Lots of people went there for tubing back in the day. Those helmets with the two beer cans and a tube connected to your mouth. Wonderful.

      No. The best day of the year is that first day it is sunny and 45-50. Just going outside and soaking up the sun in shorts and a t-shirt.

  55. Just Say’n

    I was in the washroom today and I thought of the best band name: Hate Fart

    1. Just Say’n

      Hate Fart: (n.) flatulence delivered with animus or derision, typically within the general direction of another

      Eg: Jimmy expressed his anger at his roommate by delivering a hate fart in his general direction

      1. Rhywun

        “Brett Kavenaugh hate farted in my general direction and I’ve been re-living the trauma every day since I remembered it two weeks ago.”

        1. Heroic Mulatto

        The opposite would be the Love Fart which can musically enunciate people’s preferred pronouns.

        1. The Love Fart,
          Soon will be making another run,
          The Love Fart,
          Promises something for everyone.

          1. Rhywun

            The Love Fart
            Is a little old place to get together!

            *Love Fart Baby!*

          2. Michael

            Love wont hurt anymore
            Its an open smile on a friendly shore
            Its love…
            Its love…
            Its love…
            Its the Love Fart
            Its the Love Fart

      3. Michael

        Can hate farts be considered hate speech?

      4. Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

        delivered with animus

        Well, you can’t spell “animus” without “anus”.

        OK, you can try, but it’ll be all messed up.

    2. westernsloper

      Were you doing laundry, or are you one of them Canadians. I never took you for a Canadian.

      1. Just Say’n

        Never confuse me for my sworn enemies, the dastardly Canadians.

        The thought occurred to me the next day after drinking too many Old Styles the previous night

    3. Playa Manhattan

      You didn’t think of anything.

      I’ve been hate farting for a decade. With malice.

      Mostly in staff meetings and family car trips.

    Anyway, as far as seasons go, I’m a winter lover. Mainly because I don’t live in arctic type places like Minnesota or upstate New York.

    Fall. The only thing I miss about Massholeistahn

  58. Just Say’n

    I enjoy the two weeks of Spring that we get in the Upper Midwest. The only other holidays that I’m aware of are: rain, snow, Christ Why Is It So Hot Outside, and Kill Me Now It’s Too Cold To Live

    1. Just Say’n

      *the only other seasons

    2. commodious spittoon

      Once again, advertising New Mexico’s superiority: it’s rarely so hot or cold you’ll want to kill yourself, our springs and autumns are lovely, and our local politics is fucked but at least it’s low-rent.

      1. Just Say’n

        There’s a new Mexico now?

        Nuts to that. I got 48 stars on my flag and I’m not buying another one

      Today’s weather in Chicago was fantastic – I’m for the 10-days of good Fall weather in the Midwest.

      1. Just Say’n

        I hate the abrupt changes from 80 degree weather to 50s overnight. I do like our brief fall though.

  59. Michael

    I really want to like fall when it is dry with comfortable temperatures, but my on-again-off-again seasonal allergies go absolutely apeshit bonkers around this time of year. Spring is also nice for the week and a half that we have it in this part of the country. Winters get inhumanly cold here and therefore suck, so I’m going to declare summer my favorite season. Please, please, PLEASE do not ever let Daisy Dukes go out of style on women.

    1. Michael

      Also, please, please, PLEASE do not ever entrust me with any mission critical HTML.

      1. At least you didn’t use the blink tag.

    “In case you’ve lost track, Christine Blasey Ford was the first to accuse SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, and she’s allegedly set to testify Thursday morning; Julie Swetnick is the third accuser and is being represented by celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti.

    Rebecca Baulhaus of the Wall Street Journal has found an interesting link the two women share, in the form of lawyer Debra Katz.”

      1. Chafed

        It could have happened. *runs away with fingers in ears*

  61. Living in the mid-Atlantic we get the variety pack, and I’ve got to say I like all the seasons. The only one I don’t get sick of eventually, however, is fall.

    Summer’s awesome for awhile. It’s in the high 80s, low 90s, you get long, sunny days with periodic showers to cool things off. You can go out on the water and it’s actually nice. Patio drinking. You can go outside in shorts and nothing else and be fine. But then there’s the humidity, the mosquitoes, you’ve got to mow the lawn twice a week, the yard goes nuts with every weed you thought you dug up last year, and you get days that feel like you’re being braised in a swamp without a breath of air.

    Then fall comes and saves your ass. The leaves turn, there’s that smell in the air, it’s perfect camping weather, you can wear pretty much anything, You can put a fire in the firepit or fireplace and it’s still mostly for ambiance. Halloween happens, which is my favorite holiday next to Christmas, which, really, is the end of fall rather than the beginning of winter IMO.

    And then, winter hits, usually around January for us. Now it’s cold. Probably won’t snow, though, so it’s just cold for no good reason. Now, there’s some mileage to be gotten from a fire in the fireplace and sitting around all cozy with the fam, sure. And if you do go outside the air is crisp and clear. But, it’s cold. And if there’s one thing I hate, it’s that feeling you get when you haven’t been warm for a week straight. Like you’re not going to die of hypothermia, but there hasn’t been a part of you that hasn’t been cold for days. It wears on you.

    Spring starts to come around. You can tell because one day it’ll be 50 and sunny with a light breeze and people will be out in short sleeves and flip flops, as if dressing that way will make summer happen faster. It’s a pretty season around here, but not quite as good as fall or even summer for plants. There is that smell of plants waking up, though, which is nice, and it’s starting to warm up without the bugs noticing yet.

  62. PudPaisley

    Hey Tundra, if your still around, have you ever been to Amsterdam Bar and Hall for a show? How is it? I’m going there to see this really good young guitarist and his band tomorrow night. Hoping to do a little recording of the show if they’ll allow it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkSOEcg44oc

    1. Tundra

      Hey Pud!

      Nope, never been to the Amsterdam, but I’ve heard good things. That kid is really fucking good! Nice space to see him.

      When I cross the river (rarely), it’s usually the Turf Club.

      Where in the Cities are you?

      1. PudPaisley

        I’m in La Crosse, but I go to a lot of shows up in the cities. I love all the great venues up there, especially the Zoo and Pantages. A few of my favorite regional bands are from the cities – Circle of Heat, Soap, White Iron Band, Big Wu. Not sure if it’s your thing, but Circle of Heat does a great Allman Brothers Tribute 1st Wednesday of the month at Bunkers. They also occasionally do a great Rage Against the Machine Tribute show. Their own music is really good too – funky.

        Yeah, looking forward to seeing Marcus King. I’ve seen him a few times in All Star jams, but never just his own band. I’ll have to let you know whenever I’m up that way and maybe hit a show sometime. Now through winter is my live music time of year after work slows down. Mostly a lurker here, but been around reading for many years going back to TOS.

        1. Tundra

          Hah! I used to duck hunt this time of year in La Crescent. I spent more than a few nights in your insane bars during Octoberfest!

          It’s a small goddamn world, man. White Iron Band’s keyboardist is Eddie. He’s also a goalie I’ve skated with a bunch of times. So funny! I’ve never seen them, but I sure as shit would watch the Allman Bros. tribute.

          I love Bunkers. Back in the day, I lived walking distance from there and saw a lot of shows and had a lot of fun nights there.

          Definitely shoot me an email at minnetundra at gee mail.

          1. PudPaisley

            Funny. Small world. A friend of mine, Cheech, used to be in White Iron Band with Eddie J. They put on a hell of a fun show. I call it foot stompin’, honky tonkin’ jammin’ music. Cheech is my favorite La Crosse musician. He’s a journeyman who plays with everyone and puts on all kinds of cool shows around here.

            Yeah, La Crosse is a fun town to party in, with a fantastic little live music scene. Pretty soon all the gas stations will be filled with duck hunting boats at 6 am getting ready to go out.

            The Brothers Allmanac is definitely worth it to check out. They really do the band justice, and I’m a huge ABB fan. I’ll send you an email and maybe hit up a show sometime.

  63. Rasilio

    Fall wins hands down. Summer is too hot, Winter is too cold, and frankly most of spring is pretty crappy with the emergency of mosquitos, frequent rains, and mud. Also spring weather tends to be more variable (more extremes of heat and cold) than fall everywhere I have lived. Plus while the spring flower bloom is pretty it cannot compete with the fall foliage as it only fills a tiny part of the scenery at a time and there is nothing like the availability of fall harvest veggies.

    That said you need a musical selection for a post like this, I recommend…

  64. Gadianton

    Mrs. G. says Spring. No reason given.

    I am Winter’s child. I grew up in L.A., never knew winter as anything other than wet season. After I got married we moved to Utah. Snow brings with it silence – a rare commodity.

  66. Pope Jimbo

    Fall is the best!

    Hunting! Slinking through the woods and the fields chasing prey. It doesn’t get any better.
    The summer heat is over. The bugs are gone. No more mowing the grass.
    The trees are beautiful.
    On the other hand, I have to waste a weekend looking at stupid leaves with my wife. And she has a rule about not bringing a shotgun along when we go on our leaf walks.
    Shoot and then you have to rake the leaves up. And don’t get me started on the winterization chores.

    That is why Winter is the best!
    Everything is so beautiful when it is covered with snow.
    Nothing is prettier than being out on a frozen lake on a clear night with a full moon reflecting off the snow.
    The silence outside during the first big snow storm is also great. And ice fishing is fun, fun, fun.
    Granted, it would be nice to have more than 6 hours of sun light in a day.
    Frozen boogers aren’t for everyone either.
    And even with a snow blower, it can be pretty tedious to always be snow blowing.
    Don’t even get me started on being trapped in your house with the wife and a pack of kids (the result of engaging in ill considered home hobbies during previous winters)

    That is why Spring is the best!
    That fucking glorious day when it it gets to be 45 and sunny after a winter stuck inside is truly the best day of the year
    Insanely cool watching the world come alive again. The new green buds on trees and the grass make your eyes hurt after a winter of white and grey.
    The glorious optimism of starting your garden again.
    A new fishing season begins. Catching big bluegills when they are spawning is one of the great pleasures in life
    Putting away the snowblower and taking out the bikes.
    Of course, you have to pick up a winter’s worth of dog crap from the back yard
    Don’t forget about spring cleaning too
    And everything is wet and muddy. Your kids and dog will trample about 3″ of topsoil into the house on any given day and your wife will blame you for it.

    That is why Summer is the best!
    When the living was easy.
    If you slow down and look around at the deep green all around you, it is hard to imagine that winter ever existed
    You can take you shirt off and not die.
    Sitting on the deck and having some beers during the long sunlit evenings watching the kids and the dog run around like idiots in the backyard sprinkler
    Fishing and swimming at the lake.
    Being able to leisurely walk somewhere and not have to scurry to get inside where it is warm.
    Sleeping at night is tough when you are sweating like a pig
    The constant whining of the kids when you tell them to mow sometimes gets so bad it drowns out the hum of mosquitoes who have exploded due to the warm weather
    And is there a worse month than August to fish? Even the fish are so lethargic that they stop biting.
    Sunburns caused by falling asleep on the deck after a few too many beers also suck

    That is why I love and hate each and every stinking season. When I lived in places that really didn’t have all four seasons, I really missed them.

    1. Tundra

      Accurate as always, Holiness.

      The silence outside during the first big snow storm is also great.

      I feel sorry for those who have never experienced this.

      1. Rhywun

        During my first visit to NYC (before I moved here), a storm dumped 26″ of snow overnight. The next day wandering around Manhattan without any traffic was lovely. There’s something to be said for a big (non-deadly) weather event that puts everything on pause for a day or two.

      2. Pope Jimbo

        Just as good are the nights when a blizzard is trying to blow your house down, but you and all your family are safe inside. You just listen to wind howling outside while wrapped up in a blanket and staring out the window (bonus points if you have a kid or wife wrapped up in the blanket with you)

      3. Trials and Trippelations

        I agree. The silence and sound dampening of a snow storm is beautiful

    2. straffinrun

      This should be it’s own post. Of course, this is a shitlord’s life. Do one about the South Side of Chicago.

    Bitch has a clearance?

    1. Playa Manhattan

      Public trust.

      It means she passed a drug test with advanced notice, and was born in the US.

      1. Yah. Public Trust isn’t really even considered a clearance. It’s handled by a completely different office.

        1. Playa Manhattan

          And they still fucked it up.

          If the IRS has a lien on your house…. maybe you shouldn’t be working for them.

  68. straffinrun

    Clarence Thomas had the greatest mic drop in history when he was finally given his moment to speak. If you want to have the clank of metal to reverberate through the entire hall, you have to command utter silence from the crowd. Kav has the opportunity to humiliate the scumbags that are pulling this hit job. I just pray that he has it in him let it rip.

    1. I hope the Senate Stupids watch that.

      1. straffinrun

        Hatch played that perfectly. When they scan over the Dems on the committee, the expressions are priceless.

        1. At issue is the Pubs’ “have you no decency?!” response. The answer is no, they don’t. They don’t care about what it does to the nominee. They don’t care what it does to the process. They don’t care what it does to the country. They’d rather burn the country to the ground than cede power.

          1. straffinrun

            They don’t care, but some of the people whose votes are up for grabs care. Gotta have that in the front of their heads. People have a hard time sorting out the evidence, but they can read body language and facial expressions. Elicit involuntary winces and cringes from the Dems on the committee and he has a shot.

        Jesus keyboard, it’s only noon.

  70. Pope Jimbo

    The new question I have for Swetnick is why she didn’t come forward with her information that Kavanaugh was running a rape gang before this week? I mean uffda, you are watching TV and there is a guy you know who has been a part of traumatizing a lot of high school girls and he has just been nominated to the SC. You don’t come forward back in July?

    Of course, she didn’t warn any of those girls at the parties either. Maybe she just doesn’t like to make waves.

    WTF?

    The Senate committee has heard from TWO men who claim that they groped Ford and not Kavanaugh

    I hope they have some sort of reverse police line up tomorrow if Ford shows up. Each guy will get to grope Ford and put their hand over her mouth. Then she can tell which one was the mystery man so many years ago.

    Too bad Cochrane isn’t still with us to say “If the hand does not fit the tit, you must acquit”

      WTF indeed.

      1. If this is true, I don’t understand why they’re doing anything tomorrow other than just holding the damn vote.

        Also: Hey McConnell, bypass the committee and have a full Senate vote. Force those red state Dems onto the record. End this.
