“The 63-year-old seven-term congressman has vowed to crack down on crime in Brazil’s cities and farm belt by granting police more autonomy to shoot at criminals. He also wants to let more Brazilians buy weapons to fight crime.”
Interesting juxtaposition of positions.
“Kill them all, let God sort them out.”
Investing my nest egg into Brazilian Helicopter tours.
Is it any less weird than libertarians though?
You guys are stranger by far.
Winston, you got a point here? Or maybe ask your mum?
Libertarian fondness for guns, low taxes, free speech and Weed, Mexican and Ass-sex is a pretty weird combination in modern politics. The proggies love the last three while they hate the first three for example.
So, are you saying that libertarians are wrong and progs are right?
Huh?
I am just pointing out that people are complicated and their political views are not always so simplistic and people will believe whatever they want.
My political views are pretty straightforward: “Leave me the fuck alone.”
[leaves Animal alone with grrizzly]
Freedom is weird, man.
Yeah. I mean Turdeau Jr. is giving Canada legal pot and support gay marriage and immigration. But he is also a gun grabber who supports a carbon tax and loves China and hate speech laws. Seems the 1960s libertarian obsession with Weed, Mexicans and Ass-sex did not bring about the libertarian moment they thought would happen.
I fail to see how government liscencing of a relationship or taxes and regulation of a product is anything even close to libertarianism.
Weed is still illegal under federal law after eight years of President Pen-and-Phone who could have, by fiat, at least rescheduled MJ at the federal level – but he did nothing.
Well the great Constitutional scholar kept insisting it was Congress’s job to fix that. And what the hell, I can’t even hate him all that much for that bit of stupidity – but it just fucking kills me that people ate it up.
We all know (I’ll include myself here as they are part of my family), that Bolsonaro’s success will depend on how well he can get the right people in place to put in place a successful economic policy. But, first of all, the commies have been dealt another severe loss.
That’s SoCon Dad’s position. As long as someone is shooting criminals he’s happy. And cops have never violated anyone’s rights that didn’t have it coming.
So Portugese speaking Pinochet?
If you love CNN, you should believe exactly that. Also, trust exactly every word CNN says about Trump.
Well, looking at Chile post-Pinochet, he may have been a shithead (in fact he was) but he saved the country.
No one I know thinks that Bolsonaro is perfect. But the one thing they do know is that they are done with the ultra corrupt PT party commie scum.
I met a Chilean last year at a bar I was drinking at. He couldn’t speak English very well, but he could clearly express his hatred of Allende.
Brazil has had Vargas and the military regime…
And? How long have you lived in Brazil?
Those are somewhat close to Brazil’s own Pinochet?
I mean Brazil has had some authoritarian regimes before…
Really? You mean in like 1984? And CNN told you that Bolsonaro will bring that back? Well, fuck me, I believe that then, and TRUMP!
I don’t recall saying that Bolsonaro will be a dictator. I was referring to juris’ comment comparing him to Pinochet which I thought was amusing since I thought Vargas and the military regime would be better comparison being actual Brazilian authoritarian regimes and all.
Winston dear twit, it isn’t accuracy that matters to CNN, it is the fucking narrative. Do try to keep up.
I doubt anyone on CNN knows who the fuck Vargas was or even remembers the Military Regime so I would surprised that they would mention them when pimping that narrative…
I would *be* surprised *if* they would mention them when pimping that narrative about Bolsonaro being the latest threat to the vaunted Liberal Order…
“I doubt anyone on CNN knows who the fuck Vargas was or even remembers the Military Regime”
My wife remembers it, you dipshit, she lived there. You also are totally unaware of the economic disaster that the PT party visited on the Brazilian middle class during the PT party’s reign of terror over the last 8 year. Please try to know what the fuck you are talking about before spouting non-sense.
And people wonder why Winston gets the treatment he does….
Erm you do know I was talking about CNN and not actual Brazillians?
You know who else had Vargas and was popular with the military?
The only thing I’ve seen is that Hyperion and juris imprudent putting words in my mouth.
“The only thing I’ve seen is that Hyperion and juris imprudent putting words in my mouth.”
You mean Winston putting his foot in his own mouth, again?
Two things I never said.
You are the one who accused me of being a CNN lackey. I never accused you of anything.
Winston – the point of referring to Bolsonaro in context of other South American dictators was how it confounded CNN’s attempt at narrative (everything populist traces to Trump from all corners of the world and past, present and future). Either you don’t understand that about CNN or, nope, I’ll just leave it there.
Ah Okay. I know what you mean. All populism is traced to Trump in the Media. Sure Latin America has had populists before and Brazil had its previous President removed due to corruption but this guy is obviously due to Trump.
Closer to Home but Doug Ford was a city councillor and defeated mayoral candidate long before Trump , his campaign didn’t focus on immigrants but spending and Canada has had no shortage of populists but obviously he is Trump-related.
And you mean that CNN didn’t compare him to Pinochet? I am surprised. How quickly things are forgotten in the narrative.
Also I haven’t seen CNN in years so I wouldn’t know what they say about anything.
Paul Joseph Watson had a good interview from two days ago about Bolsonaro that went into his positions from a sympathetic point of view for anyone interested:

Do we really need to pathologize why people are upset with a corrupt, debauched political establishment?
Give me a TL;DR on that. I disagree with reading anything that doesn’t fit on a box of Count Chocula.
You can get that there?
Nah. We can’t even get Franken Belly.
What you just did there. I saw that. And guffawed sensibly.
“Employing a measure of skin conductance (which captures activity of the sympathetic nervous system), the researchers found an increase in arousal in response to political messages that were congruent with a person’s personality. In particular, antagonistic people found an anti-establishment message arousing, whereas highly agreeable people found a pro-establishment message arousing.”
[hedley lamar voice] Kinky [/hlv]
Hearing a chick bad-mouth statists gives a chubby.
Super Packs are arousing us?
So… are the antagonistic people the hate-filled, angry conservatives who are lashing out at everyone, while the agreeable people are the leftists who just want world peace and everyone to get along?
Or are the antagonistic people the leftists who are righteously angry at the oppressive establishment, and the agreeable conservatives are the good Germans ready to follow orders and ship their fellow citizens off to camps?
Hey Straffinrun, I put a link to cake pictures in the morning links.
Wow. Impressive. I’m calling “no fair” on the eyeballs. I couldn’t find them so I had to go with salmon roe instead. *At work today, so I’ll put up pics when I get home tonight. I’m conceding the contest already, though.
Salmon roe would be hilarious. Gross, but hilarious.
Now that I’m at home, the site is no longer blocked. It got a smile from me. Nice work Tulip.
I never thought of it as a contest, just as a reason to bake. I was excited to find the eyeballs since I had no idea how to make them.
My thought would be to take a small diameter round tip on the frosting bag, with white frosting, put it at the center of the eyeball and push out enough to balloon out around the tip. Then use black frosting with a similar tip to fill the void where the previous tip was.
This is only a hypothetical, since I’ve not tried and see if the monsters would provide sufficient back pressure to form the shape.
I thought about doing that on parchment, then freezing them to make them stiff enough to handle. Trying to do it on the monsters would be really hard.
That would work a lot better.
I would have done the black pupil with a toothpick dipped in black food coloring.
I don’t think it would have worked very well at all. These were much better.
No!

Gonna make mulligatawny soup. I was thinking about Soup Nazi and realized I had no idea what it is. And I’m on a soup kick. And also fuck you, I do what I want.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
I found 3 or 4 frozen chicken-tortilla and chicken-mushroom-noodle soups in the freezer putting away the new batch of spaghetti sauce. Woot!
It’s a great tasting soup. Curry, carrots, chicken, and apples.
I’m teh surprise…

Excellent strategy: Scare the hell out of gun owners right before the midterms.
Let them all run on what they really believe and want. See how it works out.
It’s a fine line, Stizzleteats. You want to scare the people getting shot without scaring those who would shoot back.

This has been an awesome weekend in my most immediate vicinity – large quantity of delicious spaghetti sauce produced, packaged and frozen. Tonight’s dinner was beef bourgnone, also delicious (and thankfully not brought up on the vegan post) and I finished off my growler of Russian Imperial Stout and I am just a notch below inebriated. Fuck work tomorrow, and the elections on Tues, right this minute I am happy and satisfied.
Hey… the elections are next week, right?
OK, one notch closer to inebriated than I previously calibrated.

You’re not the first person to make me double-check my calendar in the last couple days.
For the season, I’m back to working through the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Currently on 3, with the underrated Larry Fishburne.
Speaking of under-rated LF, I assume you recall him as Laurence J. Fishburne in King of New York. Gawds what a cast.
Seriously
He was better in Pulp Fiction.
Sure, but he wasn’t under-rated in that, was he?
Good point. His character “Rerun” in What’s Happening was also under rated.
The girlfriend didn’t believe it was the same person when the name Larry Fishburne came up
I’m still laying around nursing a hangover from last night…..not sure what happened, I didn’t even drink that much…..my only thought is maybe because I ended up drinking a lot of bud heavy?
Back in my younger days, Bud heavy always gave me a worse hangover. Not sure if it was coincidence, the rice, the slightly higher ABV… It’s a mystery.
I’ve noticed the same thing with PBR…..I guess I haven’t drank Bud Heavy to excess in recent memory…..the headache…will….not…go…away
Is Bud Heavy the real name? I’ve never heard that before.
Aka not-Bud Light, aka Budweiser
So Hyperion why is the Brazilian Worker’s Party so shitty? I am not being snarky as I am interested since I don’t think the MSM or Raimondo are the most objective source.
The Packers just completely and totally screwed the pooch.
No, just Ty Montgomery. 😡
True. I think the Packers has enough time and momentum and Montgomery decided to play hero…and fumbled the ball on his own 20.
Had
And Rodgers screwed my fantasy football team. Christ, what an asshole.
To be fair, wasn’t it the replay booth that said Graham didn’t get in on the first TD that screwed you more?
No. My opponent has Graham. Rodgers had a whole game to throw many TD’s to other guys and didn’t. Sad!
Well, damn.
They made it interesting, though. If you’re a Pack fan, my condolences, though, because that’s a hard loss.
should’ve run the ball more. Mccarthy annoys me with his calls sometimes. Adams had a nice game tho.
Well, they should run the ball more with Aaron Jones, not just in general. Jones breaks a 30yd TD and they start the next drive with Ty Montgomery in the backfield? Theoretically Ty Montgomery is a mismatch in the passing game, but they don’t use him that way. It’s a failed experiment move on. (also, don’t let him return kicks, not just because he fucked up that last return, but because he doesn’t add anything at all to that position.)

And in other news that no one gives a shit about, the LA Galaxy miss the playoffs with a loss. Which for my money is good, because if it had been a tie, they would’ve missed because of MLS’s retarded, non-conforming, tie-breaking rules. Oh and one of those NY teams won the Supporter’s Shield (when is someone going into business as Shield’s athletic supporters? With Cup or without!).
Sad, MLS could’ve used the Zlatan in the playoffs. Hope he sticks around another season.
I don’t think MLS is big enough to contain Zlatan’s massive ego.
PS. There is only one team in NY. The misnamed one is always going on about its Jersey-ness, they should make it official.
You mean because NY is Red? Why do so many people on here like bad (i.e. the wrong) soccer clubs?
NY doesn’t care what color NJ fancies itself.
At our new house, we’re suddenly getting some kind of critter tearing up the lawn. Whatever it is, is nocturnal, comes in the back yard, and claws at the sod to get at the dirt (bugs? worms? grass roots?) underneath. I had the occasional opposum and raccoon in my old neighborhood, but I never noticed those tearing at the lawn like this. It’s not moles or something underground, since the damage is at the top. Unfortunately I’ve got no video since we don’t have that set up yet.
Anybody (esp my SoCal neighbors) have an idea what this is?
How big?
Jerry Brown looking for dropped change?
You’ve got a poltergeist.
Sorry.
SOCAL SMITH SORRY FOR TANGLING WITH LAWN, WAS DRUNK AND AMOROUS
DAMN IT SMITH CUT IT OUT. LAWN NOT LOVE YOU LONG TIME
LOL
This time of year the MF squirrels are going crazy burying acorns in my lawn. I have hundreds of 2” divots in my lawn.
Deer?
Fucking rats with hooves.
If you live in the south could well be armadillos, in the north skunks looking for grubs. In northern MN I have skunks digging up divots, mostly in the fall.
This. You probably have 1) grubs and 2) skunks. You can test this theory by putting your yellow lab out the side door just before sunup. If she goes tearing across the lawn barking her fool head off and comes back stinking to high heaven, you have verified the presence of skunks.
eek
Sometimes acquiring knowledge is a pyrrhic act.
I sense some personal experience with this…
But yes, skunks make sense, I know they’re around on the peninsula, but I didn’t figure they’d like my suburban tract area. Apparently they love my yard though.
My guess is Venezuelans.
Skunks will do that. If it were feral pigs, it would look like someone had rotorilled your lawn.
Chupacabra escaped from Mexico and can’t find any goats.
We’ve been seeing several possum running around the neighborhood in our little semi-rural NorCal suburb. And we’ve always had issues with moles tearing up our gardens. Wonder if it might be either of those.
After what Grumman said above, I think that’s got it. I probably have a grub problem — the previous owners let the lawn die and then put down sod to sell the house. Almost immediately after moving in we began to get patches dying, but thought at first it was because that was when it was really hot or there was a fungus problem because of the sod. But with something digging just beneath the sod layer it makes sense the critter’s after some bug under there and apparently skunks are notorious for leaving divots of grass.
So we focused the back porch light out farther so a critter should trip the motion sensor and I’ll lay down some grub killer tomorrow.
The joys of home ownership!
Skunk, what you describe is signs of a skunk.
Water in the grub killer really good so it gets down into the soil. Not sure where you live, but a good season long control product to use in spring is Merit insecticide, or something with Imidocloprid in it. And yes it’s probably skunks like others mentioned, but raccoons will sometimes rip up the sod too. After repairing the sod, it would also help to apply a starter fertilizer to help the sod root again. I have a landscaping / lawn care business, so if you have any other questions just ask.
I took a step back from work and the world this weekend and went hiking around the property with the family. I took our beastly male GSD, and my 3 year old girl took her GSD puppy. I think the pup weighs more than she does, but she did a good job keeping control by herself on the 2-3 mile walk. It was nice walking side by side with her… they’re growing up.
The kids are just barely too young to fish, so I tied weighted lines to sticks and let them pretend too for a while. A beautiful blue kingfisher dove in to grab a fish while we watched. When I have a few hundred bucks to spare, I’m going to bring in an excavator to tear into the sloped hill next to the pond to make a proper 90 degree backstop for shooting. To cap it off, my daughter looked at a chicken and said “Mmm, chicken nuggets”.
To cap it off, my daughter looked at a chicken and said “Mmm, chicken nuggets”.
LOL!
At my last job, one of the call center people went full vegan PETA insane. They made it a point to bring up their veganism all the time, and had a sign up that said, “What part of the chicken is the nugget?”
They really didn’t like me saying it was just pieces of breast meat.
Even if it were some unknown amalgamation of chicken parts, why is that a bad thing? Isn’t it good to use every single part of the animals that we kill?
That sounds so nice.
Is it just me, or does Bolsonaro look like Carl Sagan?
*Googles* Nope, it’s not just you.
No, he’s actually right, he does look a little bit like Sagan.
Just told my wife what to say to her sad friends after the election. ‘Not the man we wanted, but the man we needed’.
That’s what I said, Hyp. He’s not the only one who thinks so.
Also. Brazil, you made the right choice. Nowhere near perfect, but better than the alternative. Hmm…. wish I could think of another country that made a similar choice recently.
If you crossed Sagan and Viktor Orban.
Not just you.
Damn apartment cat was calling again. He’s half Siamese, so it’s weird that he’s incredibly (too much so) friendly. Sounds like some neighbors are attending to him after I started typing.
Awesome cat, just needs too much attention though.
Temples aim to attract youngsters with disco balls, planetarium shows
Buddhist temples in southwestern Japan are becoming unlikely sites of entertainment, putting on 1970s and 80s disco music and planetarium shows to attract young people and regain their status as places for community gatherings.

SMH. Should’ve gone with Parliament/Funkadelic.
The headline is almost a haiku.
Hotel Transylvania 1 & 2 is some of Adam Sandler’s best work. Someone had to say it.
Also, I maybe drunk.
Was Sandler in those?
He was Dracula.
Is that saying very much?
Just watched those 2 movies. Adorbs.
@kinnath, he voiced the main character.
I’ve watched the movies and thought they were pretty well done. I did not recognize Sandler as the main character. Which is probably a good thing.
I got all 3 for the kids to watch during a VUDU sale since we don’t have many Halloween-type movies. It was funny to see Mel Brooks make a ‘cameo’.
I can appreciate the Waterboy and Happy Gilmore. And the fact that Adam Sandler is now pretty much making movies to give vacations to his friends.
There is nothing wrong with your Medulla Oblongata.
I’m not saying they’re great cinematic works. But they’re tolerable diversions.
I was agreeing with you. Waterboy had some great scenes.
Sounds like you had the knee for dinner.
His schtick is so off-putting I’ve never watched any of his movies.
Yeah..but you like Zima…
☺
Oooh, buurrrnnn.
???
Not just for vacations. Fucking Pixels, according to IMDB:
This is one atrocity that Gen-X can’t blame on Boomers. It was directed at us and too many fell for it.
*googles*
I hadn’t heard of it. So it was bad? That’s too bad. Not that I would have gone to see it, because… you know who is in it.
Popcorn fun.
There’s bad, and then there’s “did…did someone lose a bet? Was this the last wish of a dying child uttered in a delirium?”
You can go to professional assholes for a list of everything bad.
Well, I’m doing other things so I’ll pass on the video. The premise sounds neat but with AS it was guaranteed to be shit IMHO because that tells you the kind of “humor” that’s going to be in it.
I watched it last nite. Not terrible as Sandler movies tend to be. A couple of really stupid gags but over all mindless entertainment.
“Best” as in “least shitty”?
Pixels was entertaining, but far from good.
Waterboy & Happy Gilmore had quotable moments, but were also far from good.
IMO, the HT movies are fun and very watchable.
Rob Schnieder is a stapler…
I read somewhere a while ago that “Sandler movies, even when they’re unpopular and panned by critics, all make money”
something like that
basically, they cost nothing to make, and they all make predictable amounts of money. not huge, but low-risk medium-margin. Which from a risk-weighted POV means “far more attractive than high-risk, high margin movies”. So make more, they say. More faster.
he basically doesn’t need to make them at all, but he can churn them out and continue to cash checks. apparently many of the ones people think are the most-garbage have been solid-moneymakers. i think they all get made for sub-100m, and routinely earn at least $200m, sometimes 3
can’t remember where i heard that. maybe here.
(reads above)
I need to remember to read comments first.
IOW, a lot of people have no taste. Yeah, I have no problem believing that.
My guess is that his core-demographic is the ‘tween/teen’ market, that has never really had especially high-standards.
we were spoiled in the 1980s, bc we had people like Spielberg and John Hughes making ‘smart movies for young people’. now its all either billion-dollar Transformers bullshit made for a mostly-chinese audience, animated movies, or Sandler-ish-crap intended to churn out bucks on Netflix
I couldn’t agree more. I can’t imagine being a young person now and growing up surrounded by so much crap.
I think it also includes dumbass fortysomething guys, like my brother-in-law. But yes my 18 year old niece and her friends like recent Sandler movies.
A couple of weeks ago my wife and I were feeling blah, so we made some comfort food and poured some wine and got a buzz on. When we turned on the TV she said she wanted to see something mindless that would make her laugh and not have to think about her day. And Sandler’s “Grownups 2” was on, so we watched that, and it did have a few good moments that made us laugh. Oh, there were a few stupid, gratuitously disgusting scenes (seemingly required in his movies), especially one part where a guy was standing in front of a malfunctioning milkshake dispenser so that it looked like he was passing the runs (ha-ha, laff riot!). But other than grimacing through those parts, it filled the bill for that particular mood we were in, so I’ll give Sandler that. And for some strange reason I’ve always had a soft spot for the talentless David Spade, who’s also in the movie — I guess I’ve liked him because he’s pals with both Dennis Miller and Norm MacDonald, so he can’t be all bad. And there’s also some unbelievably hot women in great attire, who of course were supposed to be in love with Sandler, Spade, Chris Rock and that fat mall detective guy, which truly stretched disbelief, but I guess if Sandler is going to give all his underemployed pals leading roles, why not have fun and make them all portrayed as married to smokeshows?
This is why they keep ruining great movies with reboots.
But people only hated the new Ghostbusters because they’re misogynists and need to get over it.
Goddamnit, people aren’t fucking “afraid of women”. They’re averse to seeing a poorly done remake of a movie with a ham-fisted, in-your-face attempt at “diversity”.
There have been popular film and video game franchises with female leads for decades.
Good evening. I’ve had my vegan tortilla soup, so let’s call out Chilling Adventures of Sabrina for their lack of racial politics.
Serious question; why don’t people like this get blogs instead of massive Twitter threads?
OMG that’s an awful lot of IDGAF.
I said it before but I’ll say it every time:
if you have to post a thirteen-part tweetstorm, get a fucking website.
It’s almost like people are cheap and/or lazy.
It simply wasent intersectional enough for her white hating racist ass.
There was another thread that got deleted but the guy’s angry response lives on.
And that thread is stupid as well. The hanging happened in the show over justice not race. The witches see eachother as one race and humans as another. Not based color.
I love the way they reacted when that was pointed out.
Those morons saw the show but didn’t watch it.
All the wokeness in the show cracked me up. They are witches, of course they are supposed to act evil.
And no one seems to notice that Sabrina is the little daughter from Mad Men. Perhaps that show was on before some of these tweeters were old enough to watch TV.
In retrospect, that makes BBC article showering praise on it a lot funnier.
(Spoiler: they got a bunch of young white women together and everyone loved how progressive and woke (their word, not mine for once) it was)
Nice
My So-Called Life hardest hit. ;/
Thanks for the ‘woke’ warning, BBC. I’ll avoid this show, even though Sabrina: The Teenage Witch is my favorite TV show (it’s 3 seasons long, and the 4th is decent fanfiction; there are no seasons 5-7, as commonly believed).
So, remake called My Soy-Called Life..?
I can’t wait for inevitable More Woker remake of Buffy.
I was gonna say something about Veronica Mars, but thinking about it honestly, you could use original scripts, cast a miserable shrew and it becomes the SJW version…
I love it!
I wouldn’t put it past them remaking .. anything. Fuck Hollywood and fuck anyone who supports this tendency by paying for it.
Also, Kids Of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior high, Degrassi High, Degrassi: The Next Generation, and Degrassi Next Class (1979 – present).
Salem is my homeboy.
Young egould, Tundra, etc.
LOVE IT! Now I’m sad about Wheels; he had a pretty messed up life and died far too young.
Oh, I didn’t know that. That’s a bummer. Life imitates (too often exceeds) art.
AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH
auuuuughhhh
Wow, that just keeps going on, doesn’t it?

The Economist and globalist elites do oppose rule by high-minded scientific elite, right?

This is different from the Economist’s own views how?
Guatemala and Honduras are or were libertarian?
They prefer when power concentrates in hands of bureaucrats?

You’re safe from me. I’m too lazy to link anything.
I want to hit the Ren Faire with you.
*puts costume together*
Bring it, Mojeaux! I lost track of your geographic locale.
Kansas City, Missouri. I was just thinking we could tear a swathe through a bunch of raggedy scoundrels.
Dudette, I have so many Rennie accessories and blouses, skirts, you name it, I routinely mix and match outfits for my friends. It could be a blast.
The Minnesota Rennie is the best, but I’d be willing to try Texas or KC.
w00t!!!
I won’t be in California for the foreseeable future (or anywhere else, unless Mr. Mojeaux wins a trip somewhere), but I’d love to hang out and wear corsets and swash buckles.
Well, I got a couple hundred thousands of Frequent Flyer miles, so maybe we could figure something out. Too late for the Minn Rennie this year though.
But I know where to find ye!
Ours is from Labor Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend.
I’ll have time to scrape up a pirate queen outfit. Lessee, we will also need
Tulip
SP
Riven
Athena
Mythical
WebDom
Who am I missing? There has to be more than 8 libertarian women in the world.
Is RAHeinlein a woman?
Yes and now I feel bad.
RAHeinlein, too!
Don’t forget Elspeth Flashman (spelling?) aka Mrs. Lord Humungus.
Can I go too?
We should try to put together a Glib Women’s RenFest Weekend.
All those unicorns in one place …
But since only virgins can see unicorns, how will we find each other???
Not our racks, cuz everybody at RenFest has a rack.
Oh, I know! Monocles!!!!
Now you’re thinking!
Although steampunk is starting to encroach and that would lead to red herring monocles!
So perhaps these? Am I the only one who’s worked a Ren Faire before?
OK Neph, that is funny stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it ‘splosive one. Although I’m still somewhat surprised that I’m one of the only Glib’s who has worked a Ren Faire before.
Renn Faires are my favorite! I wanna go, too!
Absolutely!
I am down! We need a meet up!
So if I want to pick up a Libertarian girl Renn fests are my only choice? Looks like this is a nearly unanimous choice amongst Glib Fems.
Adding (post-happy hour – so please excuse spelling errors):
Banjos

Thank you!
I would like to see STEVE SMITH try to fuck that
STEVE SMITH would have to pick me up and carry me away, and I have gravity on my side 😀

Seriously man. I’ve got enough hair on my palms already.

LOL my new toaster oven that arrived today has a very bright light that flashes on and off by itself as it’s cooking, and it’s freaking out one of my cats.
Take the cat out?
Nah, she got bored and wandered off. It was inevitable.
Think he meant out of the oven.
Cat is a veteran laser dot chaser, I presume?
Oh, yes.
Put tape over it?
The light is actually the heating element going on and off. I would have to tape over the entire window/door. I think they’ll deal.
I think he meant over the cat.
“He meant the cat” is my new favorite refrain.
All right, everybody settle!
Oh. That sounds like some bright heating element.
the rerun comment upthread reminded me of an idea I had called the wikipedia game.
You edit a page and our scored based on 4 criteria:
1. outrageousness of the lie
2. popularity of the page
3. length of time it survives
4. times cited on the internet
I dont know the exact formula.
Not a bad Sunday. Fucked off, Glibbed out, made soup, watched football and drank wine all afternoon. Now watching baseball in hopes the Dodgers get humiliated in their own stadium while indulging in the amber nectar that comes from places like Kentucky.
Mmmm Amber Nectar.
I’m having a cheap ass Rum n Diet Cola.
Crazy stuff. For the first time, I had dinner at a no-tipping restaurant in the US. Just a restaurant next to our hotel in Lower Manhattan that had a table available at 8:45 pm on Friday. It had 2 out of 4 $ signs, so I was slightly surprised when the cheapest bottle of wine was $70–a regular $$ restaurant in NYC I guess. But at least no need to add 20%.
No tipping restaurant? That’s all of them isn’t it?
I’m not taking this bait.
No tip restaurant is why the cheapest bottle of wine is $70. Beverages are the lions share of restaurant profits, so the prices increase accordingly to offset paying for the lack of tips.
How was the staff? Accommodating, or surly?
The staff was totally fine. I wouldn’t have noticed any difference if they had all been expecting big tips. Not too intrusive, which I like anyway.
Huh. I’ve heard most wait staff are against this trend.
Depends on the clientele. I would assume that Chili’s staff is against.
Meanwhile, Sugarfish is outstanding, and they absolutely forbid tipping.
+25% mandatory gratuity.
Blue wave?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/10/28/midterm-elections-betting-odds/1800052002/
I do think surveys are skewed “blue” since folks inclined to vote GOP are so vilified that non-blue-ers feel like lying or not answering.
I’m just going to pop the corn and relax.
“Better” meaning dragging the mean farther left, I presume.
Always.
I just want everyone to be happy. Team red seems happy when they win and team blue seems happy being unhappy.
I believe the online betting site, those people are putting their money where their mouth is and aren’t just going on feelings.
Horses, Peacefully Farting and Snoring
Yeah, I read that hippy shit too. Healers, you say?
It’s better than you can even imagine.
Oh my God, it’s Horse, M.D.!
“That’ll be $1,200”.
Did anyone happen to read Stephen Fry’s The Hippopotamus, by any chance?
Those poor beasts.
They paid to be there!
Oooh, the horses….
“All the horses are on tranquilizers, and the women rubbed with musk”
After over 13 million views, at least one person had to have gotten better watching it.
Chris Cuomo introducing Don Lemon as “D-Lemon” just made my day.

It never occurs to these people that calling everyone they don’t like a “Nazi” might be offensive to members of groups that were literally killed by actual Nazis.
At least mix it up a bit!
Falangists, Ustashe, Arrow Crosses, Iron Guards…
There’s a whole wonderful, diverse world of Fascism to pick from!
This guy thinks he’s speaking truth to power and saying what everyone else is too afraid to say. In reality, he just looks crazy. He’s also doing leftism shittily. You’re supposed to dissemble and use motte-and-bailey tactics. “Punch a Nazi” is fine because they killed millions in the 30s in and 40s, and we’re only referring to those guys (you know, the guys who are dead or very old). We’re not referring to modern-day milquetoast Republicans and libertarians, you paranoid fools.
When everyone is a Nazi, no one is a Nazi.
Or that the word ceases to be useful when there’s no longer any clear scale between ‘politically distasteful’ and ‘genocidal fascist’
When everything is Nazi, nothing is nazi.
and this, ironically, gives the most leeway to ‘actual nazis’.
People mocked that argument when Bari Weiss said (paraphrase), “Calling IDW people the alt-right simply makes otherwise normal, reasonable people go, ‘well this alt-right makes a lot of sense, actually'” I don’t think that is exactly right, so much as “it at least makes the term useless”, and confuses people as to the real scope/content of what ‘actual racist douches’ like Richard Spenser believe.
Same with “rapist”. Actual rapists are loving it that normal dudes are added to their tribe. “Look, man. We’re exactly the same!”
and racist, xenophobic, homophobic…
Where have you been?
You didn’t have permission to do whatever it is that you were doing.
LA has a sad.
Dodgers = sad trombone
Ty Montgomery all ready gave LA free win today.
Boston was unstoppable. That was very difficult for me to admit as an Orioles fan.
The baseball season is over. :woohoo:
@ Mojeaux Have you tried Angstify to get your writing groove back on track?
I NEED THAT!!! Except without anal bleeding.
You gotta pay the price somehow.
So the IBS is acceptable?
Oh, I suppose.

The plot just isn’t that believable when they all have the same tattoos.

Also, one of them is an old body.
Q’s tirade about Net Neutrality caught on video.
Nothing can stop porn. Nothing.
The president fails at his job by tweeting about baseball.
So many meaningless words about Trumps baseball brainfart. They’re not obsessed, you’re obsessed!
The same media that spent 8 years fawning over how cool Obama was because he did final four brackets thinks it is totally horrid that a president comment on sports. #whataboutism I guess, because the past doesn’t matter unless someone claims you grabbed their ass 50 years ago. Fuck these people for making me defend this stupid shit.
Nah, pointing out hypocrisy isn’t actually whataboutism. The left just likes to torture the term to try to shield themselves from being called out.
That sounds like a lot of whataboutism. What they do doesn’t matter, what matters is that everything people that are not them do is literally Fascism.
Even if their solutions are Literally Fascist.
It even goes into meta-whataboutism:
If a Republican criticized something Obama did, and a Democrat pointed out that G.W. Bush did the same thing, and the Republican replied with “whatbaoutism”, you know the Democrat would not accept that as a rebuttal.
Shorter version: Trump is an impulsive boor who amuses himself by needling my ilk and I have a deadline to meet so, I’m going to do an armchair psychoanalysis on some mundane shit.
The Go-Go’s This Town has been stuck in my head for days
Go-Go’s’s*
My dad found it quite risible that I once went to see a double billing of A Flock Of Seagulls and the Go-Go’s (IIRC, Janus Landing in St. Pete , ’85 or ’86).
You’re lucky. I usually get jingles stuck in my head – “Dear Fab, we’re glad, they put real Borax in you!” or “Swing down Old’s 98 and let me ride!“
