Hello, my name is CPRM. Everyone’s preferred pronoun is everyone. Everyone thinks it is a crazy idea to have to conform to anyone else’s self identity. Everyone identifies as a cismale. If everyone wasn’t such a nice guy, everyone might feel compelled to use the force of law to make other people refer to everyone as everyone. Everyone means, everyone does feel like everyone, you can’t deny everyone’s lived experience. Everyone once hallucinated everyone was Spider-Man after playing Spider-Man 2 on the PS2 for 20 hours straight before going to work. Everyone wondered why everyone couldn’t shoot webs and swing from the ceiling until everyone realized what was going on in everyone’s head.
It is true, everyone is fat. Everyone has manboobs. Everyone has had manboobs for a long time. Everyone needs to lose some weight. Everyone thinks low carb diets work the best; but everyone loves beer too much. Some people think everyone might be an alcoholic. But everyone agrees everyone isn’t. Everyone is a libertarian. Everyone thinks people shouldn’t be forced to do anything against their will. Everyone is happy. Everyone is everyone’s proffered pronoun and if everyone doesn’t use it everyone will be pissed. Everyone agrees with everyone on this. So everyone is in agreement that everyone should give everything everyone owns to everyone. Everyone is very pleased with the results of this policy and everyone agrees.
/consults Chuckie Schumer
Now hit that (THICC Thursday) mother-fkin’ THEME MUSIC !
While Chuckie Schumer may be thick, I’m not clicking on anything referencing him as THICC.
He just has moobs. And is a shitty person.
The link is non-Schumer related.
Someone needs to take their medication.
Everyone needs to take their medication.
*Ahem* Everyone needs to take Everyone’s medication, FTW!
Damn, the previous thread dies a quick, pathetic death after only seven posts. That has to be some kind of record, or something.
If I identified as a link, thats how I’d prefer to go.
I like Baked Penguin, I don’t like the NFL. What are you going to do?
*shrug*
I thought it would be a more popular topic. It’d probably help if I could write better.
Include more cleavage!
Always good advice.
It’d be more popular but people got to virtue signal and hate on the NFL because kneeling and TDS.
Maybe for some, but I’ve never watched sports.
I sometimes wonder if The Hyperbole isn’t actually a prog plant, sent here to stir up shit.
But then I remember he sent me a box full of beer and I couldn’t give any fucks.
You’re half right.
So I get home and wonder; “where the fuck is my beer?” Head to UPS with my tracking number and see this:
We got about .10″ of rain. Does a flat tire count as “emergency situation”? Because I can see no other reason why my beer isn’t here yet.
I thought that until he overplayed his hand.
“Pick seven,” indeed.
Eh, I don’t hate the NFL. I usually watch a game or two a week. I just don’t have the fan boy mentality I had for it in high school. I’m also not a gambler, so the picks part doesn’t do much for me.
I still enjoy the article, though! May not be my cup of tea, but I like light exposure to things outside my realm of interest.
I’m not sure how many big time sports fans we have around. I don’t have anything against sports, it’s just not my thing. I still read your write up, I just don’t have anything to add to the conversation.
I’m an NFL fan, but not into gambling or fantasy, so all those numbers mean nothing to me. I’m clear on any of the jargon, so all it is to me football picks, and I hear enough of that around.
Fair enough (to all of you). Understand, I’m not hurt by the lack of interest, I just greatly overestimated it. I found (for me) putting a few bucks on games juices my interest in them. Naptown Bill seems like the only other Glib who shares my interest (at least to the extent I do.) Also, I’ll try to use fewer parentheses in the future. And add more cleavage.
I enjoy your picks posts. However, if I had my druthers, I’d trade 17 weeks of football picks for one new episode of SNP
Do hockey and basketball! Basketball should be easier than football.
“Damn, the previous thread dies a quick, pathetic death after only seven posts.”
Because it was about foozball. Foozball is da debil! I invented electricity!
I identify as https://youtu.be/8Dd_qiuWxPs
I identify as a petulant baby. I should be able to paw and fish-mouth at any set of boobs that appeal to me. If this is met with anything other than adoration, cooing and amused laughing you are a shitlord denying my lived experience. SJW identity Vs. #metoo. Boom.
Awww! He’s so cute!
Hey look at
me lady
I’m just a little baby.
You’re lucky
to have me
I’m cute and sweet as candy.
As charming
as a fable
I’m innocent and disabled.
So hug me
and kiss me
then wipe my butt and piss me
I just accidentally landed on my local cable news channel where there was a debate going on between my current state senator (Evil Republican) and his challenger (Noble Democrat). I heard two questions from the moderator:
“Are the Proud Boys a hate group?”
“Have you ever ridden your bike in a bike lane?”
I quickly changed the channel.
There’s a TEAM RED state senator in Brooklyn?
The south and SW trends Republican. Who knows if he’s safe. The Dems are projected to carry the Senate and lead to the first all-Dem government for a long time. This does not bode well.
NY see’s IL going down in flames…
“Pennsylvania, hold my beer.”
Must be the Russians. Okay, the Jewish ones.
What it is is basically the remnants of the old Italian and yes, Jewish communities that haven’t yet been displaced by newer arrivals.
My ex boyfriend was from Bensonhurst. He says it’s now mostly Mid Eastern there.
My ex boyfriend: so, I guess this where the old A/S/L comes into play, I mean are you he/she, a she/he or an undecided? Or are you a deplorable that identifies with what is listed on your birth certificate. This shit is getting so complicated now.
He’s wrong. The ME are concentrated in my neighborhood, Bay Ridge. Specifically, the northern part.
Nobody is going to need more Strohs before this makes any sense. But Nobody doesn’t have any Strohs, Nobody has Old Style. Nobody likes Old Style but Nobody likes Strohs better than Old Style. Nobody will have to make do.
Anybody can see that this is going to get confusing fast.
Uhhh…my Kroger sells both. And Weidemann.
But Hilltop is no longer being made, as Four Strings unceremoniously shut down.
I can’t get either at my Krogers, In fact, I only have one drive-thru that carries Strohs and I don’t think anyone in town sells Old Style.
[redacted] says you should stop being such a [redacted] and got to [redacted] and get some [redacted] if that’s what [redacted] really wants.
The whole point of useful idiocy is to create people who will believe anything they are told if the right person tells them, no matter how contrary to reality the thing they are told is. There are 87 genders. The climate is changing radically and billions are going to die. Thousands of victimized doe-eyed widows and orphans deserve asylum in the US and Europe. Never mind that you can open any biology book, look out your window or look at photos of the so called refugees and see that what you are told is patently a lie.
Just believe it, or in other words OBEY.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjKQQpPVifY
Sorry CPRM, I am not sure I was able to follow the article. Everyone is obsessed with judging and controlling everyone else? We are a herd species with a stunning lack of self-awareness.
I identify as a Neanderthal. There are two genders. I’m not responsible for your life, or your decisions. If I choose to be nice to you and help you in your plight, that’s my choice, not yours.
And get off of my lawn.
It’s amazing how well and unconflicted I sleep at night.
I heard that Jesse’s lawn is way better than yours. Sad!
HOLY SHIT!
Well, it’s not because Jesse is more gay. Spudalicious is a Cowboys fan who isn’t from Texas.
I can’t say that Jesse is definitely less gay.
That’s fine…but who’s shit is more fucked up?
Definitely mine.
In retrospect; you being a non-Texan Cowboy’s fan makes that pretty plain.
Compared to me, Jesse is as queer as a three dollar bill.
That’s America’s Team to you, mister.
Because America has a blue and silver flag?
Ouch
“Everyone is a libertarian.”
Libertarian moment.
I’ve had a chance to think about it.
I absolutely want Chelsea Clinton to run for office. I will even donate to her campaign.
There isn’t enough popcorn and beer to get through the debates.
I’ll die trying.
She’s a less ambitious, less intelligent version of her mother. But with a stronger sense of entitlement, and even more unlikeable. Her only friends are on twitter.
I completely agree with your analogy. Whenever she comes out publically on an issue, I shake my head and the phrase, “dumb as a box of rocks” runs through my mind.
She’s even dumber in practice. We’re the same year, and I had a lot of friends who went to Stanford with her. Charitably, bottom 10%, and that includes the football team.
Her parents are smart. Bill is definitely a genius, and Hillary was the disciplinarian who kept him focused on “his” goals.
Chelsea has none of that. Her first real “grift”, her husband’s Greek hedge fund, was an epic fail. A bunch of big name investors, and a mother-in-law who was secretary of state and providing proprietary and classified information, and they still managed to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
That’s almost as bad as losing an election to Donald J Trump.
And from the things she says a completely brainwashed useful idiot. I have never heard her say anything that wasn’t pure gibberish.
So you are saying shes the perfect Democrat?
She is. At least Hillary had to snag a wealthy, influential man in order to become famous. Chelsea was just born into it; I’m sure her family name played a big role in getting her into college and into every job she’s ever had.
Plus, it would be hilarious to watch Lefties try to explain why this child of privilege is A-OK and totes qualified to be the next president when they spent so much time talking shit on Trump for being born into a moderately wealthy household.
Actually, Hillary was the wealthy one, Bill was the political face of the operation. She provided the funds, he provided to coat tails to ride until it was HER TURN. Which she completely, and totally fucked up. Twice.
She really is the worst at everything. Even at being a feminist icon.
Plus, it would be hilarious to watch Lefties try to explain why this child of privilege is A-OK and totes qualified to be the next president when they spent so much time talking shit on
TrumpG. W. Boooooooosh!People have friends on Twitter? That’s an option I may have to consider. How does one do Twitter? Asking for a friend, sort of.
First drink paint thinner until IQ gets into the acceptable range (20-70). Then get angry drunk and start typing.
If unable to descend to at least 70 IQ, then may have to settle for Facebook, where 30-80 IQ is acceptable.
Twitter is an acceptable place to shit-post and if you stay away from the mainstream feeds, can stay somewhat sane.
It’s HER time!
HER time is going to cost you.
http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-why-did-nbc-pay-chelsea-clinton-20140616-column.html
I’m kinda shocked she never got a law degree. To, you know, learn the ways exploit it.
Not anymore. With her mom out of power and highly unlikely to ever be in power again Chelsea’s time is worthless.
My apologies Tres, that was supposed to be a response to Playa.
s’ok…Im fluent in thread fayul
*whispers*
There’s a good chance she would be unable to pass the bar in CA.
She is of course terrible, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a couple more creatures in Washington who aren’t fucking lawyers.
I draw the line at donating to her campaign, otherwise I have no disagreements.
We need to get her past the primaries!
Me too. She is on to the fact that the diabetes epidemic is a direct result of global warming. That needs urgent attention and she is just the xe to do it.
I’ve recommended this book before, but “Half Life” by Shelley Jackson explores this a bit. It’s about conjoined twins in a future where they have become more common. So, they use the word anytwo instead of anyone. Worth reading.
Cool evenings are upon us which means its now Hot Toddy season. So I like a drink thats outdated by 3 generations. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?
The Hot Toddy has started becoming popular again. Everything old is new again.
Its also delicious and cozy. I go though a lot of whiskey in the wintertime
I love a good Hot Toddy, especially one made with Talisker. Lemon, honey, spices, hot water, and a nice peaty scotch. Few things are better on a cold day.
I like Talisker Storm….alas too expensive to keep on-hand consistently.
My store had it on sale for about $35 a bottle a while back so I snagged 2 and just sip occasionally. Good stuff.
That’s a good deal…..it’s usually in the $65 range when I can find it
Yeah, the big discount was the big reason I bought the first one. Found I liked it and ran back to grab a second while it was still on sale.
Normally I would say making mixed drinks with a single malt is a sacrilege, but I make an exception for hot toddies.
I’m with you on the Storm, though. That’s a nice whisky.
A toddy for the body is always handy.
I’ll allow it. I also would have accepted “A Toddy for the body is never shoddy”
Unfiltered Sculpin. Just put the fire pit together.
I’m going to break out the 100″ screen and projector tomorrow and watch the World Series outside.
I might have to put on long sleeves if it gets cool out.
See, I like the change of seasons. Never needing a sweater sounds like hell to me.
Jealous. I don’t really envy people for much, my needs are pretty simple, but I really want a covered patio with an outdoor fireplace, couch and wall mounted TV.
No wall mount, hence the screen. If it gets windy, you might see it on the news.
Fireplaces are impractical in places that do not have a local, ample supply of firewood. Firewood in those places is ridiculously expensive. My firewood costs me the price of the gasoline to run the saw and haul it home. When I was more energetic we heated the house exclusively with our Franklin stove and we often grill steaks on our outdoor pit.
I cant imagine living in a place where you can have none of that.
Oh I could easily have it where I live…..lots of hardwood for the taking. I’m a renter. I have a pretty sweet covered porch but lack the ability and inclination to go to that amount of work for house I don’t own.
Propane and fire glass
I heat primarily with wood. Wood furnace for the central heat and a Franklin stove downstairs where I spend most of my time. I haven’t used the gas furnace for at least 3-4 years. I grew up with wood heat (barrel stove) in a drafty cold house and but now I can enjoy a modern house that’s easy to heat. We let the fire go out, even on the coldest nights. Mornings will be in the low 60s, start the fire (s) and soon it’ll be into the high 70s or more. Just hard to control , too warm, open the door, Then it cools off and have to add more wood.
One day I’ll have to push the button for the gas furnace and I’ll be disappointed.
I can adjust the inflow and outflow of air over a wide range on my Franklin without opening the door. Once I get a good bed of coals I stuff the thing as full of wood as possible then shut both down to minimum. It will smolder all night and keep the house in low to mid-70s. I wont have to put more wood in until after breakfast.
*Yes, I have a CO detector
I love that stove. Love it.
My aunt & uncle got a Franklin stove. Pretty useful in NH, at least almost half the year, anyway. Plenty of available wood, too.
Yeah, I like the dry heat. I’m so afraid of a fire at night that on a really cold night (-25 or colder) I’ll have the temps near 80 about 9 PM and that’s it for the night. I’m an early to bed early to rise guy while my wife is a later person on both ends so I’ll have it toasty when she gets up.
I can’t hear the alarms so I have to depend of my alternate smoke detector, she can hear yet. The humidity gets really low, down to 20 % at times but usually a little higher. I’ve tried a pan of water on the stove but that doesn’t really add much.
So, the girlfriend hired a landscaper for the yard (she’s paying with her money, so I gave up fighting). The landscaper tore up all the old flowerbeds, and built new ones. As I was pulling out, I noticed that he had left a pile of stones on one of the walkways in the back yard. I asked the girlfriend about the pile of stones, and she said the landscaper was going to haul them away. I looked at the pile of stones, looked at the stone patio, looked back at the stones, and realized we could build a fire pit out of the big pile of stones (after making sure no slate was mixed in, it’s fairly common in the area).
However, it’s fucking rained every gods damned weekend for the past two months. So we’ve only gotten to use it once.
And rain again, if you get the same in the NE as we get in the SW
Right now, there may be a chance of using it Friday night. Saturday is a 90% chance of rain, and it’ll be a long day anyways. I need to brew this weekend if I want to have homebrew on tap for Thanksgiving. So I’m going to try to brew Saturday and Sunday.
Pixel gun!
I like hot toddies. Also buttered rum.
I watch Jas. Townsend and Son on YouTube and have actually made several of the recipes. Hell, I might make a boiled plum pudding tonight. *throws hands up* What?!
Seriously though, Hot Toddies are great on nights like this. Mine typically goes:
– Whiskey or dark rum
– Fresh squeezed lemon juice
– Sugar
– Cinnamon, cloves, and allspice
– Orange peel
Hell, I got half a mind to mix up a pot of that right now…
I was going to make whiskey punch once, but every time I bought the whiskey it was gone before I got around to making the punch.
Mine is pretty simple:
Tea (or some sort of Chai tea mix)
Honey
Whiskey or Rum (Woodford, Pendleton, Captain Morgan, whatever I have on hand)
A little half & half
Cloves
Delicious. Also a great way to get through family gatherings while masking your drinking problem.
*sips from coffee cup*
Yep.
The recipe that I’ve found works best for me is:
1.5-2 oz of bourbon or Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon honey (avoid Eucalyptus honey, it does not play well)
1 cinnamon stick (actually cassia, true cinnamon is too papery for this)
1 dash ground ginger (if you have it, grate some fresh ginger)
1 dash ground cloves (if you prefer, you can use whole, but grind them fresh)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 oz hot (not boiling) water
Mix together, and leave the cassia stick in the cup to continue releasing flavor. Reuse the cassia stick in later toddies.
Another recipe that I’ve loved, and shared here before (from a book called Apothecary Cocktails) is the Cold Cure #1001 (serves 2):
12 ounce pot of hot peppermint tea
5-6 oz. Benedictine
3-4 oz. Sweet Vermouth
10 drops bitters (preferably Jamaican)
Make your pot of tea, then preheat two mugs by filling them with boiling water. Discard the water after a few seconds. Add the Benedictine and the vermouth to the pot. Mix gently, and let sit for a couple of minutes. Pour into mugs and add the bitters, serving immediately.
I’m going try your recipe. I’ve not tried fresh ginger in one before and I’m guessing this going to be a really tasty addition.
Feel free, I think it was the first winter this site was live I had a terrible cold for like two weeks. So I was experimenting with different recipes to make my optimal toddy. Feel free to sing its praises or condemn it for it’s foul taste in a later post.
Damn, that sounds good. It’s been a long time since I’ve had Benedictine, ima have to hit BevMo and pick some up.
Hey, I started drinking Manhattan’s a couple of years ago. Hot toddy’s on a cold night are quite nice.
I dig Manhattans. What is your preferred bitters? I like Angostura and Peychauds, but I think the Fee Bros. bitters really work well in a Manhattan.
I use Knob Creek Small Batch Rye and Peychaud’s bitters. Angostura I would use with bourbon. And Antica sweet vermouth is the only way to go.
I use Fee’s Barrel Aged for one of my favorite cocktails. I think I need to branch out and give some of the others a try.
I’ve been spoiled on bitters. The local high end cocktail bar makes and sells their own bitters. I always have a dropper bottle in the fridge.
I ordered a “black Manhattan” a few months ago. Good stuff, but a little too much for a weeknight.
We’ve got a local place that does a black manhattan. Yeah, if I were still working, it wouldn’t be a work night cocktail.
What the hell are they talking about?
Everyone realizes that CPRM is insane now, right?
Everyone doesn’t know what everyone’s talking about.
Everyone literally knows what everyone is talking about. But everyone is too afraid to plainly admit what is so clear to everyone
took this long to see?
Crazy people are better than normies in my humble opinion
Until he spews stuff like: “The final monument to the journey of man will not likely be sky-reaching silvery edifices home to bright and satisfied creatures but a chisel’s trail parting quantum particles on a charred stone sign weary with time.” I wont worry.

That sounds like AC stone sober. Someone dive back in there and find some of the real good shit.
You are not wrong.
*wistful sigh*
I was actually going to a full Glib post on this. Japanese has multiple first person singular pronouns. Some are gendered and some are used in polite situations and others in more casual situations.
The amount of angst and handringing by woke and LGBTQWERTY 20 something Japanese learners about what pronoun to use has boggled my mind. All that energy could be put into, like, learning the actual language.
Mind you I use the unisex “watashi” which I would recommend against if you were a younger guy trying hit on the ladies in a bar. It sounds a bit stuffy and possibly effiminate. But generally nobody is going to worry too much about it and will simply be surprised the white dude is speaking passible Japanese.
Lots of languages go to the other extreme and don’t distinguish “he” and “she” at all. If only….
Japanese is weirdly non specific. After or when it is clear who you are talking about the pronouns are dropped. So you can have complete sentences with nothing but verbs
Also plurals generally only exist for people. You use context or a number to be specific if required.
Also if you know the person’s name that is generally used. So “he” and “she” are generally avoided in conversation.
English makes gendered language much more front and centered compared to Japanese.
Russian has a gendered past tense in verbs.
At least noun gender is easier than in French or German in that the gender is mostly dependent on the last letter of the noun.
The gender telates to the sex of the subject or the object of the sentence? As contrasted to gender in Romance languages where it applies to the noun with little rhyme or reason.
Relates. Love typing on the tablet.
Subject. Something like “I’m eating” would be the same for a man or woman (Я ем); “I ate” has an inflected ending depending on gender:
Иван ел (Ivan ate — masculine)
Катя ела (Katya ate — feminine)
Человечество ело (Humanity ate — neuter)
Иван и Катя ели (plural)
Got it. Reminds me of when I learned Latin.
It is oddly true the more you study languages learning another language gets easier.
There is a reason for that!
TW: Moti is a generativist.
Italian et al. have something similar. In certain situations the past participle has to agree with the sex the person speaking is presenting as.
Participles are adjectives, which might explain it. In Russian, the present participles agree in gender and number with the subject.
Subject agreement is only if the compound tense is formed with “essere” (to be) rather than “avere” (to have). Which does make the participle resemble an adjective.
In English someone can write the story of one’s life and you might still not know for sure the person’s gender. In Russian you will know it after the first sentence. Sure, there are tricks like always using the present–but it doesn’t sound natural.
Watashi wa Penguin des(u). Dozu yiroshiku.
Pengin san, kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegai shimasu.
Domo arigato, Mister Penguino.
I identify as God.
“thou art God”
Perfect timing as you’re reading Stranger.
I found it to be silly and Utopian too BTW.
I can certainly recognize why Heinlein is so beloved. His writing chops are good. Maybe not Asimov or Bradbury good (to pick a pair of contemporaries), but good.
Im trying to put a finger on what irks me about a few of his characters. I think it’s the progression of their development. There’s always this naive character who is becoming wiser in the ways of their surroundings, and then all of a sudden the story jumps and they transform from a growing, developing character to demi-god sex fiend navel glazer. It was like that in The cat who walks through walls. Less so, but still present in Starship Troopers, and blatantly so in Stranger.
Is that you Kanye?
These other things you guys are trying to identify as aren’t pronouns! Sheesh!
My preferred pronoun is Lord Zorticon the Brave.

THICC THURSDAY!
please see my FIRST link for a true display of thicc-nezz
I can see why that has over 800 million views.
I mean, I get it, just turn off the sound and appreciate da azz.
Sorry, Q, but Tres just gave you some thiccness lurnin.
His don’t move tho.
Move is not the issue, THICC is the issue.
And by thicc I assume you mean fat asses?
The gals in 8 are about to get jiggy.
“And by thicc I assume you mean fat asses?”
It’s an art that has to be appreciated. You either see it, or you don’t.
I see that CNN are still mailing themselves and people they identify as ‘Trump Critics’, fake bombs. Stay classy, CNN.
What I don’t get is this bullshit about them being traced to a mail facility in Florida. The fucking stamps were postmarked! How the fuck could they be traced to any facility?
weren’t*
Dammit
People who believe this shit are the same people who don’t know the difference between an email account and a server. I mean what I’m basically saying is that CNN viewers are idiots.
It doesn’t matter. It’s irrelevant. You’re irrelevant.
Chuck Todd has already planted the seed. It was Russia. And they were obviously trying to help Trump and the GOP. If it was sent from Florida, it was a Russian Floridian. A Russian Florida Man.
If Chuck Todd said that the sun rises in the east on planet earth, I’d find myself doubting it.
Russian Florida Man!?!
It’s the apex predator of Mr. Lizard.
As in Mr. Lizard sent him or Mr. Lizard is in trouble?
Like with Predators and Xenomorphs, both.
In Russian Florida, beer holds you!
Good one.
Speaking of gambling on sports, has anyone done the math on just betting on the Patriots every week for what’s left of the Brady/Belichick era?
The Patriots defense is not very good at this point. Thus they have this habit the last few years, of getting into shootouts. But shootouts in which they frequently win. I give them a greater than 50% chance of making the Superbowl again this year and about 50/50 of winning it.
The path to the Superbowl lies thru Arrowhead, and I don’t see them winning there.
If Mahomes hadn’t had starting jitters, the Chiefs could have put 55 on the Patsies.
And that is ruling out some home stadium shenanigans, which to be sure, the Patriots would NEVER stoop to.
The Patriots may just turn out to be this year’s version of the 1985 Miami Dolphins.
I’m sure the casinos have, and that’s why they have point spreads.
They were 11-5 against the spread last year. And are batting 58% since 2003.
They were actually 16-3 against the spread in 2016. This year they’re only 4-3. So not really that safe…yet.
The casinos don’t care who wins or what the spread is so long as there is the same amount of money on both sides
leaving them with their fee for the handle and no liabilities.
Yep. The vig is the vig.
FWIW, the Pats are vulnerable, even now that they’re playing a lot better. I’d say look to the Rams against weaker teams. If I’d have had the chance, I’d have bet the house when they played the 49’ers.
Last year was the last time I played in a fantasy league just to be friendly. I’ve lost touch, and for me the NFL was just place to check in on old SEC boys anyway. NewWife is enjoying the Rams’ (Gurley) run.
If we want to have some bitter arm wrestling over NCAA football, I’m here for you.

That was one of the best shows on TV.
The video shows a TB-303, but I don’t think they actually used one.
PLAY THE FRATELLIS, BEYOTCH!
That’s right, Blackhawks scored again.
Every time they score, the Hawks stadium blasts “Chelsea Dagger” for several seconds, and the Fratellis band gets a royalty. Crazy times.
Got a call from an FBI agent today. No biggie, he says, just wants to meet for coffee and “Pick my brain”. So we are meeting at Starbucks monday afternoon. W T F ?
He’s either trying to entrap you or seduce you.
Either way, bring your choice of personal protection.
I’m definitely planning to ask to see his credentials. I’m considering bringing along one of my work mates as a witness.
And by “credentials” i mean his badge and number, not his qualifications for the seduction option. Although when you re-read my comment, it could be taken that way, including the witness part. 😀
record that shit
Then again, Cali is a 2-party state. So just tell him beforehand.
I thought it was Democrats only.
The Lt Gov race is literally between 2 Dems on the ballot.
worst parties ever
“I’m definitely planning to ask to see his credentials.“
Euphemism.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I walk right into these.
And being shallow and juvenile, I’m more than happy to take advantage of the opportunity.
Compliment him for me on selecting the Nick Gillespie of business meeting locations.
Very weird, ain’t it? I could easily have arranged a meeting room in my building, but he specifically said coffee.
It might be about a suspicious character I reported asking me too many questions about work a few years back. We shall see.
Coffee is probably standard FBI protocol for trying to lull a mark into thinking it’s just s friendly, off the record chat. IT’S A TRAP!!!
Thanks, Admiral.
It’s the sad dad one-and-done eHarmony quick meet location: hi, I’m originally from Bethesda and . . . that has never worked, dude, and your scene is souring my stomach
What do lawyers cost in SAN ?
I am subscribed to a service through my employer so that might help.
Take a lawyer with you.
A suspicious lot, aren’t we? Maybe he wants to know why I hang out on Glibs.
Wait until you get there and it’s Robert Mueller.
I wouldn’t be 100% surprised.
Maybe he wants to know more about your blowjob technique. In that case, definitely take a lawyer.

That actually sounds even hotter.
My thoughts too…
Busted!
Right?!? For what, not a clue.
I’m actually a pretty good girl, legal-wise. I do get occasional close questioning because of my clearance and the fact that i’ve had a Swiss bank account in the past. Might be about that my spending has gone up a good bit since I moved to CA but that’s easily explained by my higher salary here.
I am not concerned, just really curious.
what’s the point of having a Swiss bank account if everyone knows you have a Swiss bank account?
Someone needs to narrow the fuck outta some gazes.
I declared the account in my clearance application. I was married to a German citizen at the time, so a Swiss bank wasn’t a crazy idea.
He can’t she has his bank account hostage.
You probably know how to make parody bombs that can’t detonate.
Leave the “Debbie Wassermann Schulz” labelmaker at home.
LOL
Nice!
Excellent
What office?
He’s based in Poway, CA. He did mention that he knew I’d talked to his colleagues in Minnesota in the past. I honestly couldn’t specifically remember that. Usually I dealt with NCIS or Secret Service.
Eh. We’ll see. Probably some pretty mundane stuff or we wouldn’t be meeting in public.
If it’s a satellite office, I would expect the conversation topic to be at least 6 months to a year old.
Yeah, probably something flagged from my transferring clearance from one company to another.
If I had to guess…. the satellite offices track down the crazy shit they get on the tip line. It’s likely that at least one of your old coworkers made some ridiculous claims, and they have to close the file.
Have you met Special Agent Gibbs? I’m straight as the day is long, and “maybe would”.
He’s a good dude. Quarterback at UCLA when my mom was there.
He might be my dad.
Did your mom push you to go to summer school?
In all seriousness, Harmon seems like a really down to earth, decent guy. I’d like to have a beer with him. Did your mom ever have a chance to interact with him? (no innuendo, being serious)
A little bit. Always a class act.
Adopted one of his relatives because the biological parents were shitheads.
And there was some incident were there was a car accident in front of his house, and he went out like Thor with a hammer and rescued the occupants.
From what I heard, he didn’t really like sports, but did it because his dad did. I don’t know the details, but I assume that it’s on google.
There’s very few people in Hollywood that I give any shits about. Mark Harmon is one that I would like to meet.
I just told a story earlier today. I stupidly let it slip that I knew something about things that go bang. He starts wanting to know what and how….
“If you want to know how to do that pay your money and take the classes.”
Conversation over.
Never speak to the FBI.
Even better….”its like you never saw YouTube before”
Just a question, forgive me if I missed some juicy GLossip; has Mr. Splosives joined you yet?
More euphemisms.
And, maybe some euphoria, amirite?
Remember – sell everyone out. Omerta is a myth.
My wife had been out of town all week on business. I have eaten pizza every night for dinner. It’s glorious. Tonight is Chicago deep dish at Rance’s in Belmont Shore. Big Sculpin IPA and a meaty tomato casserole coming up.
https://yelp.to/qTKq/njnAnEyLjR
That’s not pizza.
Red Baron microwave pepperoni. I won’t apologize.
I do that at Dugway PG all the time.
Don’t forget the pineapple.
Yousonofabitch!
Toilet paper spills on I-79. Cops have…[takes off sunglasses]……nothing to go on…
Working with the middle kid tonight. He has been slowly building his PC for a year now. He inadvertently connected the case USB into the 1394 on the motherboard and burned up his USBs. Luckily it was external and not the MB USB ports. He learned from his mistake and continues on.
Next up…teaching him the importance of POST beeps and what they mean.
Nerds out!
Nice! Although with the new cases, there’s a lot less sharp edges. I think my last four computers I put together I didn’t cut myself at all.
Does he need a 1394? I mean, I do because I work with old, but still good, cameras, but why does he have a new board with 1394? Every time I look at builds that’s something I seem to have to out of the way to find.
He doesn’t. It’s my old MB. He also has learned that you cant stop at page 2 or tech boards when troubleshooting an issue. You might have to dig deeper
Ah, Ok. I started by teaching myself and my little brother by buying an Apple II from Goodwill (around 94, I was probably 10). It didn’t turn on, but it was the only computer in the house. So I tried to figure out what each part did. And, at the time MSNBC had a lot of shows about tech, so I’d look at the components they were talking about and try and find similar things in my Apple II. He grew up and got a degree in computers, and I make next to nothing working in entertainment.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Send me ur dankest memes!!
10:52 AM – 25 Oct 2018
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1055517521082609664
Why do so many here hate on Elon Musk so much? I love the guy. Risk taker. Doesn’t seem to give many shits about what other people think.
The gov’t is giving away free money and he takes advantage of it? That’s a reason to hate him? I don’t get that line of reasoning. How’s that different than taking every tax deduction allowable by law to minimize what you pay? (Maybe not the best analogy, idk, im drunk)
In any case, I have mad respect for someone that can start from the ground up in an industry as heavily regulated as car manufacturing & sales. Should he not be admired by the libertarian community?
Thoughts?
Also, space rockets.
My issue with him is the lies and scams. Tesla is just Solyndra on a longer timeline.
I’m open to changing my opinion. Honestly now isn’t really the past time for a long form rebuttal, due to the aforementioned drunkenness. From what I’ve seen/read, there’s not much I would consider lies/scams, so much as “marketing” and “gaming” the system to get the free (grant) money. Look… someone is getting that money. Isn’t this a case of “don’t hate the player, hate the game”?
As for the Solyndra, maybe you’re right there. But I really truly see a lot of Tesla cars everyday. It’s a real legitimate car company in my eyes. I only ever heard/saw Solyndra in articles.
I love my Tesla 3 and so do all my coworkers. It really is a thing of beauty, and I love not having to gas the dang thing. Elon might be a bit nuts, but his feel for what customers want is spot on.
I bought stock on the day after the Twitter SEC meltdown, knowing that it’d go straight back up because it’s a great product.
How many coworkers have you… taken for a ride?
In the literal sense, about 8.
In the other sense, I plead the fifth (and we weren’t coworkers at the time!)
knowing that it’d go straight back up because
it’s a great productof the cult of personality.More accurate?
Man, it’s the best car driving experience I’ve ever had. Accelerates up the mountain roads like they’re nothing. It’s great.
Very cool! I love the electric cars, I still have range anxiety though. And at my home I still park on the street so charging at home isn’t really an option. Within a few years though I’d like to have a two car garage with an electric car and my Jag 🙂
I’d be really curious to hear about your long term experience with the Telsa 3 sometime. i.e. What’s the service experience like?
I heard the oil changes are free 😉
I have no range anxiety. It’s 310 miles when fully charged. I drive about 35 mi a day, and charge overnight.
I have over 6 kW of solar on my roof so I’m taking some of my state “incentive” rebate on the car to install Tesla Wall Batts so I can basically go off grid and also charge the car fast.
My fave part is autopilot and adaptive cruise control. Man, that eases the commute.
Where the hell are Tundra and Jimbo when I need ’em? I think ‘Splosives got hacked.
Nah, I just needed a new car, have solar, and am an EE. Getting a Tesla was a pretty obvious move.
I still hunt and say “Fuck off, Slaver” to the statists.
It’s me!
Oh good, it is you.
But still, a Tesla? Well, you do you, but I’m afraid Tundra’s head may explode.
I’ve been on the Powerwall waitlist for a year.
It’s a scam.
Next post from RoadSplosives:
Auto Post Enabled: CC: Consumer Reports: RoadSplosives has died in a tragic accident in witch Tesla holds no fault. Tesla AI is a top of the line product and Roadsplosives enjoyed the vehicle very much.
“Did you see her handle on Glibs? Roadsplosives. She was practically begging for it.”
Slandering a dude as a pedophile just because he didn’t like your toy submarine is a bitch-ass move.
This is how you deal with scumbags.
https://nypost.com/2018/10/25/dad-pummels-teacher-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-daughter/
I’m not defending the teacher sleeping with teens, but sexual assault is a rather poorly defined term in the media. So when I see found texts on her phone, I suspect we may be talking about something else.
Did you see his hair? He’s obviously a scumbag.
But….. When you send your daughter to an all girls school, where else is she going to learn the birds and the bees?
Omg these guys are like 17, but they write somecatchy tunes. https://youtu.be/8MBf3ttnLi4 The video is tragic, but the album posted to Spotify is very… interesting. I think they got a new drummer. Halloween Creep by some cildren called Tennis Club.
When Dry Cell recorded their debut album, which never got released due to legal issues, everyone in the band except the lead singer was under 18.
When I booked Green Day at a warehouse show in Bloomington, IN back in (July’91??). Those guys had just turned 18. They were a bunch of dicks, too. Somewhere onthe internet is thewhole story of theday we almost beat Green Day to death.
Gotta work on that follow through. Would have been a hero to so many Sliders.
I sure don’t missing playing “what night have they moved Sliders to now?”
There are two links there, BTW.
So were you the drummer? Or the bass player??
I’ve told you like 4 different times I can’t even read music. But, if you can keep a secret and you e-mail my handle at myself dot com I can show you my limited foray into ‘music’ I don’t think it’s pretty. The album was set to release at the height of Napster, so I was able to snag a copy.
Ugh, another Rangers post-game “Why do we suck so hard?” show.
My Packers shift includes the post game show. 3 hours of drunk callers saying, “Yah, dis Aaron Rogers, he’s a goot quaterback, but Mike Mcharty he don’t know what he’s doin.” followed by what the drunk guy thinks. At least it’s a paycheck.
If it gets them Jack Hughes, it will have been worth it
So propping up the league is clever 3D chess. I like it!
When Lesbians Attack
Why do you say she’s a lesbian, she looks like my Granny. OH GOD! Granny was always at a ‘quilting circle’ or ‘church’ or ‘book club’! Was Granny Gay!? Might explain all the plaid shirts…
Did she make a lot of lavender colored quilts?
No, she was partial to rainbows.
The rugby shirt is a surefire tell.
Where’s Waldina?
When the pit bull is the calm one, you know you have a problem.
That was very disappointing.
I mean, my dad used to throw bricks at cars that sped down our street. I don’t quite do that, but it ricks me something fierce when someone runs through the four-way stop at the end of my street. There are a lot of pedestrians in my neighborhood, lots of kids, lots of kids on bikes, strollers, dogs, etc., and there are also a lot of people who believe they’re the most important person in the area and so shouldn’t be expected to follow traffic laws or comport themselves with any kind of consideration for other people.
Sorry, I know the thread’s dead, I just get riled.
I can’t believe nobody didn’t post this upthread.
I never play Sylvia songs at work, that’s awful music, and you are a horrible person to post it.
Besides, you know me, you should have linked to Everybody Wants You
*listens for 23 seconds*
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Besides wanting to testicular cancer?
I’ll be checking myself for cancer
I was into Ironically liking things before it was cool, and was actually a funny. I was a metalhead who ironically liked S Club 7, but now that years have passed, it brings back memories, so I actually like it.
I’ll confess too: I like “Never Had a Dream Come True”.
You guys are the first living souls I’ve ever told that to.
Welcome
I was expecting this
I like defying expectations.
I thought so, too. Excellent tune.
And not nearly as gay as this excellent tune
Yeah, that one is way gay. I still want to know who put him up to making that video.
It’s a much better choice.
What can I say? Prime Country is one of my SXM presets.
You mean you listen to country music (excluding Johnny, Willie and Waylon) without being paid?
Don’t you dare other George and Merle!
Yes on George Jones, a meh on Merle.
You must be fucking insane.
Too slow.
I mean, a ballad now and then, ok, but every Merle song I’ve encountered is a ballad.
Hmm. I guess I can’t really argue that, but I’m not sure how any of the other aforementioned differ a whole lot. I mean, we are talking about Country AND Western here, not Rock and Roll
Really, Johnny Cashes first hit was Cry, Cry, Cry and you can’t see how he differs from someone who only released ballads?
Fine, Merle is second class country legend because he didn’t sound enough like rock and roll. Am I doing it right?
For me, yes, that about sums it up. I like faster music, sue me.
True fact: When I was a wee lad, our springer spaniel, Buck, left home and returned days later with his springer spaniel girlfriend in tow.
When the inevitable puppies arrived, I named one “Merle”, and another, “Hagger”.
That is all.
Sir Digby CONFIRMED as a Cishet White Supremacist Shitlord!
But his money is still good to me.
That’s fine and dandy, but classifying country artists by how rock and roll they sound just seems…?
Like my personal preference? I never said otherwise.
If I have to be a C-whiz, I shall identisuch*s such
I mean, it at least kinda sounds like me on some mornings.
Wanna fight about it?
Fuck it.
Damn, that was some funk linking!
I mean, hat last Seether song is what I consider soft music, so yeah, country ballads don’t hold anything for me unless they are exceptional songs like Marty Robbins or Charlie Pride put out. But I also have an emotional connection to those that overrides my own tastes.
You can’t believe
you’re the only one with terrible taste in music?I actually kind of like that song.Deutschland 86 premiere on Sundance TV now, if anyone is interested. 83 was a lot of fun a few years back.
Que? *That’s what my Mexican Ass Slave said, no idea what it means*
It would be more helpful if your Mexican ass slave spoke German, I guess.
So I’m left to believe it’s about latex wearing people who shit on things. Got it.
Actually, it’s about Cold War spies.
Then it would be about THA RUZZIUNS! Duh! That has nothing to do with Germany.
Not rock. Not country. Just delicious soul food.
What’d I say?
When a white guys says ‘soul food’ I’m pretty sure that’s a racist dog whistle and will report it as such to media matters.
Media Matters? You’re gonna come out of this fairly OK, Mike.
Imagine if he’d reported it to The Root?
If I reported it to The Root, I’m pretty sure the only ones who would see it is us, I think our links prabably make 80% of their traffic. Yes, prabably, I’m going to make this happen!
My guess is The Root accuses you of appropriation. Prabably.

[a href=”https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/defaming-prophet-muhammed-not-free-expression-echr/1292823″>Well, perhaps this will fill the void a little:
[blockquote]Defaming the Prophet Muhammed “goes beyond the permissible limits of an objective debate” and “could stir up prejudice and put at risk religious peace” and thus exceeds the permissible limits of freedom of expression, ruled the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on Thursday, upholding a lower court decision.[/quote]
fuck, this is what happens when I post on this board right after my other one – I get the linking and quoting methods all mangled together
The proper response would be for everyone in the court to turn to the judges and go “We’re going to remove you to the insane asylum, because you just declared up to be down” and then follow through on it.
