“What in the hell is that?  A long, unidentifed, cigar shaped object in space?”  Director Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan asked.

“That’s the best story we could come up with.  Honestly, we don’t really know what we’re dealing with.  It could just be a big rock.” His aide replied.

“A room full of STEM majors and we have no better explanation for what is probably just a rock?  Why didn’t you just say it was a rock?”

“We have reason to belive it is not a rock, sir.”

“Who told you that?”  

“I told him that.”

Director Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan turned to see a man appear as if out of nowhere in the corner of his office.  He was wearing a cheap suit, typical of government types with a dingy white shirt and a black tie. He carried around a glass of what Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan assumed was whiskey with too much ice.  That is, it had ice in it.

He was smoking profusely, and looked to be made out of poorly tanned leather wrapped loosely over a flabby body.  No explanation was given to how this lard ass got into the office without anybody noticing.

“You see Achmed-in-ijad—“

“Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan.  Director Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan.”  He interrupted.

“Thats what I said.  Achmed-in-ijad.”

“You said it wrong.”

“You know what happened to the last diversity hire appointed as NASA Director, Achmed-in-ijad?  We found him in a puddle of puke and piss outside of Tijuana. Fun guy, but couldn’t handle his Russian hookers worth a damn.”  He took a drag of the cigarette. “I like you Achmed-in-ijad. I’d hate to see what the locals in Tampa will do to you. You may not eat pork, but let me tell you something—you taste like pork.”

“What do you want?”  Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan asked.

“I don’t really want anything but it was determined by my superiors it was time to let you know a bit of the story. But first a bit of background.”  He took a quick drink of this watered down whiskey and a long drag of the cigarette. He put it out on a ceramic icon on Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan’s desk.  He lit another cigarette. “In 1966, you were told Gemini 8 was stuck in an uncontrolllable spin, and—“

“Because of the quick thinking of Neil Armstrong, Gemini 8 recovered from the spin, and landed safely back to Earth.”

“You interrupt me again, I might take you to Tampa anyway.”  He said calmly. He took another long drag of the cigarette and with his free hand began to fondle his man breasts.  Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan couldn’t decide if he was sweating profusely under his jacket or lactating. Either way, his jacket was wet under the arms.  “Armstrong was thinking quick on his feet, but Gemini 8 was raped.”

“Raped?”

“You heard me.”

“This happened again in 1970, when the command module of Apollo 13 was raped six minutes after the crew filmed their public address.  That’s why it wasn’t aired to the public.” He took another drag of the cigarette and again put it out on the ceramic idol.  “And even the details of recent missions, you’ve been told are, simply put. Wrong.”

The man walked closer to Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan.  Close enough for the smell of boiled leeks, bad whiskey, American Spirit lights, spoiled milk, fried okra and the distinctive stench of bad sex the morning after with a half drunken hangover, to invade Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan’s moist, delicate nasal passages.

“Don’t wince at me because I smell like that broad you tagged, gagged and bagged back an MIT, Achmed-in-ijad.”  He composed himself, slightly adjusting his crotch.  “Just a few weeks ago, you thought, the Hubble Telescope was flipped off and on really fast to reset the onboard software.  NASA even put it out to the press because they thought it was funny.

But it wasn’t funny for the ISS crew.” He pulled out a 1980s era tape recorder and firmly pressed play.

“EVA 1,  did you hit the unit?”

“Roger that Houston.  Unit given a good hard kick.”

“Roger that EVA 1, unit appears to have come back online.  Good work EVA 1”

“Houston, we’re getting some kind of interference…you picking this up Houston? Some kind of transmission from a Smith?”

“SPACE SMITH FIX FLYING METAL BALL!  BY FIX, MEAN RAPE”

“Houston…”

“SUPPORT WAZ COMPLETELY CONSENSUAL.  SPACE SMITH SEND YOU BILL FOR TECHNICAL SERVICES”

“This is horrible.  Houston, do you copy?”

“Ahhhhh. Who let this thing in the maintenance bay?”

“SPACE SMITH NO COPY,  HIM HAVE ORIGINAL MOVES.  BY ORIGINAL MOVES…MEAN RAPE”

“Houston, we are sealing off the maintenance bay.  Houston, do you copy?”

“IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU RAPE”

“Houston, maintenance bay breached!”

Abbaszhadeggadaddeghan’s blood ran cold.  

“What is that object in space?”  He asked.

“We don’t really know, Achmed-in-ijad.”  The man said before blowing smoke in his face.  “We just call it SPACE SMITH.”  He took one last drag.  “I can’t wait to see what he does to Elon Musk.”

    Surreal is reading this at a shit hole coffee shop with a 40 year old lady sobbing to herself sitting to my right, a 70 year old lady with dementia muttering vulgarities to my left, and salary man picking his nose in front of me. A story about rocket rape is fitting. Thanks.

        Yeah that part alone made me consider just not bothering with online dating although I do kinda appreciate them being upfront on it.

    4. Suthenboy

      The only thing I remember about those kinds of sites is that it is painfully obvious why the members are single. Every one of them.

      1. commodious spittoon

        I set up a profile with one or another of the big sites, then realized I have no recent or good pictures. So the profile moldered for months, but is periodically get matches recommended by the site. The matches were enough to ensure I never went back.

    Four years ago today, my 36-weeks pregnant wife was cradling her head in her hands and screaming for the pain to end. The she suddenly stood up, said something, and dropped unconscious. I caught her as we went down to the ground together. She was rushed by ambulance to a local hospital and then airlifted to a bigger hospital. Turns out she had a ticking time bomb in her skull that finally exploded and she stroked out. 92% mortality probability, but she and my then unborn daughter survived. It took a few years of recovery for both of them, but we are nearly back to normal today.

    We celebrated today with prime steaks and enjoyed life. It’s the most important day of the year in the SSD household.

    Yesterday, my now 31-weeks pregnant wife slipped on ice and fell hard . We spent half a day with the baby under observation. There were some non-movement scares, but everyone is fine. She has to stop doing this to me.

    1. But Enough About Me

      Congratulations for the recovery, and, uh . . . sorry ’bout the recent scare.

    2. straffinrun

      Jeebus. Resilient and fragile at the same time. Glad she’s ok.

    3. OneOut

      Wow. What a story.

      With 2 out of yhe oven maybe that’s enough ?

      Good luck whatever ya’ll decide.

    4. Sean

      Damn dude! Glad to hear everyone is fine now.

    5. commodious spittoon

      Crimony, friend. That is terrifying and wonderful.

      1. BakedPenguin

        Second. Hope everything goes well.

    6. Fourscore

      “She has to stop doing this”

      To herself and the child. Hope all is going well now. Good luck…

    7. Tres Cool

      Stop knocking her up. Im sure there’s plenty of orphans to be purchased/traded on this site w/o the worry.

      Seriously, Im happy for you.

    8. Raphael

      That’s rough, glad you, the missus, and the kiddo ended up okay though.

    9. Damn! Glad everything has come to positive resolution for both incidences!

    10. Count Potato

      Sorry 🙁

    11. Semi-Spartan Dad

      Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

      I should have added that the ‘bomb’ blew itself out so there’s no chance of a reoccurrence. The ice slip was just due to standard pregnant lady lack of balance (I walk her everywhere but this happened at work). I’ll be breathing easier once this ice has finally melted.

    12. Suthenboy

      Geez SSD, that is awful. I am glad everyone is ok but maybe you should buy her a bubble wrap suit. You cant lose, it cushions falls, insulates well and it is made of clear plastic.

      1. Semi-Spartan Dad

        Hah! She’s normally tough as nails. She butchers chickens, castrated the donkey, and grabs an AR to back me up at the first sign of trouble. Something about December pregnancies though… they appear to be her kryptonite.

    Ok, since Q has already broken the OT comments – from the first album I ever bought:Sheena is a Punk Rocker.

    I loved it in 1978, still love it now. (It’s been remastered, but whatever)

    1. Winston

      I love that punk rock is now the music of old men.

      1. BakedPenguin

        What? You say something, sonny?

        1. Winston

          Rudy Vallee was punk before punk:

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crooner

          His first film, The Vagabond Lover, was promoted with the line, “Men Hate Him! Women Love Him!”[3] while his success brought press warnings of the “Vallee Peril”: this “punk from Maine” with the “dripping voice” required mounted police to beat back screaming, swooning females at his vaudeville shows.[6]

          1. And it’s a Marie Dressler movie, too.

        Speaking of old. Earlier this week during work:

        Twenty-two year old “Yeah I like punk! But I like old punk, like Green Day.”

        Me *facepalm*

        1. BakedPenguin

          If you weren’t at work, I’d suggest the facepalm should be in the kid’s face.

        2. Count Potato

          I saw Green Day play in a friend’s basement.

          (I saw 999 play in a tiny club, in New Haven, if I remember correctly.)

        3. Ownbestenemy

          Green day is punk only if you live the punk style and like it cause you are punk…otherwise its poppy bullshit with a fake edgy vernier

          1. Rhywun

            Dookie was pretty good pop though. Never listened after that.

          2. Tejicano

            Green Day always struck me as “watch us be edgy”

  8. OneOut

    I’m curious to know if any fellow glibs are aware of or pay any attention to the Qanon phenomena.

    I watch some of the videos out of curiosity but with hold belief at this point.

    There have been some videos of envelopes handed out to select individuals at the funeral of GHWB.

    The video showing the face of Jeb Bush after Laura Bush showed him what was in hers is incredible.

    So, are there any Q watchers among the Glibertarians?

      1. OneOut

        I thought of that as well but I don’t think our Q is the same as Qanon of the tin foil hatters.

        But, then…..?

        1. OneOut

          I have maintained my scepticism abot this since I first stumbled upon it.

          However there are multiple videos of what happend at GHWB’s funeral.

          SOMETHING happened there.

          The look on Laura Bush’s and especially Jeb Bush’s face when they saw the contents of the envelope is amazing.

          1. Tres Cool

            #3 will blow your mind!

          2. OneOut

            Have you seen the video taken at the funeral?

            It will blow your mind.

          3. Tres Cool

            Link me, brah

          4. Rebel Scum

            Yea, I searched and could not find. I’ll grant that YouTube may be (ie probably is) making it hard to find. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    1. Stinky Wizzleteats

      Q-Anon is a LARP perpetrated by some 15 year old 4channers. The predictions are like Nastradamas, you can read anything into them after an event occurs and they’re never definitively predictive. In short, it’s nonsense.

      1. straffinrun

        Yep. I remember trying to read Dianetics. Same feeling I get from Qanon fanbois. All smoke.

        1. OneOut

          I agreed until I saw the look on Laura and Jeb Bush’s face at the funeral.

          Something happened there.

          Now Im curious.

          1. straffinrun

            Post the video. I haven’t seen it.

          2. Stinky Wizzleteats

            A quick YouTube search shows there’s nothing to it. They’re highlighting pained faces on people who are looking at some envelope at their close relative’s funeral.

          3. OneOut

            What was in the envelope and where did it come from.?

            Jeb and Laura’s facial expressions show that whatever it was disturbed them greatly.

            Im just asking questions here because of what I saw.

          4. straffinrun

            https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6M7CDVONqNc

            Maybe this one? I’m not seeing anything freaky.

          5. Stinky Wizzleteats

            Handing out photos of the deceased in envelopes is SOP. Maybe it was an unflattering photo, and that’s granting that there was actually an observable reaction which there wasn’t.

          6. Stinky Wizzleteats

            How’s that tie into Q though? Was it predicted?

          7. OneOut

            I don’t know how to post it from my phone.
            If you are curious search for it on youtube. The are multiple copies.

            How does it tie into Qanon ?

            I don’t know if it does.

            I just know what I saw

          8. OneOut

            Straffinrun if you are curious look at the videos specifically of Jeb and Laura Bush’s action when the casket pases by.

            The look on their faces show that whatever they saw disturbed them greatly.

            Jeb looked both scared and disgusted.

            Where did the envelopes come from and what was on them ?

            Who can pass an envelope through the Secret Service to a US President at his fathers funeral ?

            Its just very curious.

          9. straffinrun

            There are many things which I can’t explain. But what exactly is the assumption here? The note read, “Shut up or you’re next!”. I can imagine a lot things that may be in those envelopes, but going off expressions isn’t going to get me very close to understanding anything. People act weird at funerals especially when it’s a parent’s funeral.

          10. OneOut

            I dont know.

            I’m asking questions here because I have been here almost since Day1. I dont post often because I WORK.

            But I do respect alot of the posters here and that’s why I asked.

            For someone to say there was no observable reaction simply means they havent seen the videos of the Bush’s as the casket rolled by. ( not you Straf )

            For someone to say there is

          11. straffinrun

            I don’t mind that the idea is being floated. Who knows? Hell, I used to believe in The multiplier effect.

          12. Stinky Wizzleteats

            They were at a funeral, of course there was an observable reaction, most likely to the fact that someone they knew well died.

            I never apologize but you’re right, I was a bit harsh. I just think you’re misattributing the reaction to the envelope.

          13. Suthenboy

            OneOut is back. Good to see you brother.

          14. CPRM

            I just watched the one Straff posted. Jeb does change expressions after Laura shows him something but there is no way of know if it’s related to the envelopes, it’s something she’s holding up with the program or whatever of the funeral. Could be a bill, could be who the next speaker was, could be a threat from the deepstate, could be something that reminded him his dad was dead, who knows. People act weird when other people die.

            As for the envelopes, could be something as simple as tithe envelope to donate to the church, could be a threat from the deepstate, or it could be letters Bush the Elder wrote to people that he knew. Who knows. People do weird things when they think about dying.

          15. Suthenboy

            I watched it too. I got a lot out of it. Not from the Bush’s faces but from the voice/demeanor of the narrator. Yikes.
            It could have been a really stupid typo on the program. We simply dont have enough info to make any kind of judgement. It is definitely ‘I dont know’ territory. Fertile ground for conspiracy theory.

          16. straffinrun

            BTW, Oneout, this stuff is fun to talk about. Our govt is so corrupt that I don’t want to take anything off the table. Operation Northwoods, paperclip etc. show that anything can happen.

    2. J. Frank Parnell

      Hey Jeb,

      Now your dad’s almost as low energy as you are lol.

      Suck my covfefe,

      Donny 2-Scoops

  9. I’m starting to assemble the parts for a fun plumbing project this weekend. I just had an iron filtration unit delivered, along with new resin for the water softener. The iron unit will be first to knock down the insane amounts of iron. The existing physical 1um filter will be second. The existing softener will be third. I’m hoping this solves the issue of the physical filter clogging every 3-5 days with iron.

    Wish me luck! The last time I used PEX was 2007 and the last time i sweated a pipe, I set the house on fire.

    1. Tres Cool

      Ive been fighting with a shitty Honeywell gas control valve on the water heater, which was replaced a month ago. I feel your pain.

    2. Suthenboy

      Dude, dont solder. Use brass fitting with threads and lots of teflon tape. It lasts longer and is much less hazardous. Heat expansion/contraction destroys those solder joints faster than you think, not always, but most of the time.

      1. I’m getting rid of probably 15 or 20 solder joints with this project. I’ve been debating how to go from copper to PEX and back to copper. Im a bit skeptical of the sharkbite connectors, but maybe that’s the best way to go for those two specific connections.

        1. Suthenboy

          You could go with copper pipe and compression joints. they work really well, last forever and are easy to replace/maintain. I had to use a sharkbite joint last year. one part of my hill is sliding. Over about ten years it moved about a foot and broke my 1-1/2″ water supply a few feet past the meter. I finally used a flexible connector about three feet long with sharkbites on either end to bridge the now non-aligned pipe ends. It actually worked pretty well. I was surprised. It saved me having to dig up a lot of line…for a while anyway.

        2. Semi-Spartan Dad

          Sharkbites are the way to go. I used them when I replaced my water heater and it made the project effortless (besides lugging that damn thing solo down the basement steps).

        3. Given the resounding thumbs up to sharkbites (original hat tip to Mojeaux), I may change up my plan from using the crimp connectors on PEX to PEX connections.

      2. OneOut

        Hey Suther from up above.

    The politicization of everything is nothing new:

    Rice campaigned for Zachary Taylor as president, inviting him to campaign on the circus bandwagon, whence the expression “to jump on the bandwagon”.

    Over and out.

    1. Don Escaped Texas

      seen Truckers Down Under?

      1. Don Escaped Texas

        I hate drama, so I hate reality TV

        but watching trucks bang around off-road, especially fording rivers, is a ton of fun.

        The other BS I fast forward through.

      2. Gordilocks

        No. Ice Road Truckers (the show) ruined the Ice Road and I imagine that Truckers Down Under or Outback Truckers or whatever the fuck they call it will be as equally asinine.

        Can’t say as I’m terribly interested in watching pale TV versions of things I’ve already done.

        If you’re banging around a truck, you don’t deserve the license. MAINTAIN THE EQUIPMENT.

        Also, fording rivers in Oz is no joke. If you are fording anything deeper than the axles, you have to sit and wait for awhile on the side of the road, so the seals on the wheel bearings will cool down and tighten up. Driving hot bearings through deep water means getting water in them and eventually fucking them.

        The things they make these guys do for TV ….

    I looked at the Q-anon thing. I had never heard of it. I found “Q-anon is a conspiracy theory that believes there is a shadowy cabal in the government whose aim is to destroy Donald Trump.” I didn’t bother looking further.

    Calling them a shadowy cabal does not make it a conspiracy theory cooked up by crazies. There is a group of powerful people aiming to destroy Trump. It is called ‘Resist’. We know who some of them are and some we dont. No doubt there are lots of them in the bureaucracy that we dont know about. After all he is taking a sledge to their bloated structure. Rather than a conspiracy theory I would call it common knowledge.

        So you are saying there is no just thing as real ghosts, but Great Danes can talk?

    2. Stinky Wizzleteats

      It’s supposedly a deep state spook who’s a double agent and is actually pro-Trump. He knows all: that Sessions is readying sealed indictments of Clinton et al, that Trump is playing 12th degree chess and is about to crush his enemies…it’s horseshit.

    3. straffinrun

      Qanon is supposedly a high ranking official ( maybe even Trump) that is sending cryptic messages on places like 4chan to his followers. He can’t be overt because his cover would be blown. Or something. The true conspiracy is that immoral and power lusting politicians are pissed that an outsider beat them.

      1. Suthenboy

        Agreed. So why the need to invent…..oh never mind. Crazies are gonna crazy.

        1. Tejicano

          Wha..? Like they have an option?

      2. Stinky Wizzleteats

        If anything it’s a deep state operative trying to make the right complacent because they think it’s all being handled. The govt isn’t smart enough to pull off something that subtle though. My money’s on teenage shitlords who are laughing their asses off.

    “I would like to point out that by having Christine Ford present this award to Rachael Denhollander, they are relating Ford to the victimized gymnasts and Kavanaugh to Larry Nassar. Nassar sexually abused little girls, as a reminder. It’s disgusting, but we’re supposed to applaud.”

      At least Ford isn’t politicizing her pain.

        A giant mural of Ava Gardner in Koreatown will be painted over because of its similarity to an offensive Japanese symbol from the second World War. The process will cost $20,000, according to officials at the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools, where the colorful mural is splashed outside the gym.

        1) Who is that? *searches*. Idc if or why she is controversial. She’s hawt.
        2) Why cover it? Is there not some other possible symbolism not associated with imperial Japan? Does Japan even have palm trees? Seems like a Hawaiian thing. And does that even matter?
        3) Why is it 20 grand to remove? Just whitewash (heh…) that shit. Fuck, I’ll do it for 5 grand, but only because I am fearful of being on a scaffold for that shit.
        4)Get off my lawn.

    If I link to this does it go to my youtube channel for all of you? Youtube links can be weird, just want to know if goes there for everyone.

    1. Ownbestenemy

      Dude…NSFW! No it goes to your channel

      1. CPRM

        Thanks. Just sending it out to someone via e-mail and didn’t want it to be a dead link.

    2. Suthenboy

      It goes to your channel for me.
      Youtube is turning to shit like all things progs touch.
      I pull it up and the videos it suggests for me have nothing to do with the stuff i watch. They dont suggest woodworking, beekeeping, history, archaeology or bluegrass videos, I get jive-ass celebrity crap, reality shows, rap music?, shit I have never watched. It is all brainless pablum that they want me to see.
      I predict with some confidence that the big tech giants will be dead in ten years. Get woke, go broke.

      1. CPRM

        Huh. Are you signed into an account? Because lord knows tomorrow when I got back I’ll have tons of conspiracy videos lined up for me because I watched that one Bush funeral video.

        1. Suthenboy

          yeah, I think so.

        2. Rhywun

          I use Stylish to alter the HTML to remove the “related” videos column. I should probably remove the comments section while I’m at it.

          1. The Last American Hero

            The comments are the best part. Buried deep in the comments of any music YouTube video is some jackass saying these guys suck and Metallica rulz. It’s comic gold.

    3. straffinrun

      Works for me. Also, they’re improving. Keep at it.

      1. CPRM

        Thanks. I still see a lot of problems, but I’m a much harsher critic on myself than anyone else is. I’ll be interested to see what feedback I get from this e-mail I wrote. It’s super top secret right now, but it is to someone who could give me some more chances to create than I could on my own. So, interesting.

    4. CPRM

      While writing this email it made me kind of sad I can’t talk to any of you with out doxxing myself about some of my old works. Because even though they never went anywhere, they were still fun and I enjoy rewatching them myself. But given my current jobs being outed here could lead to some bad things (maybe I’m just being paranoid, but you never know)

      Just went to my 6 y/o’s Christmas show and got it politicized twice. One guy took a knee during the pledge of allegiance ( which I don’t recite anyways) and then a couple told us they got passports for their children in case they have to flee because of Trump, making a reference to 1930s Germany. Fuggin retards! At least the taking a knee guy tried to mitigate it by saying he should have worn his ” America has always been great” hat.

      1. Rhywun

        I thought America has never been great with these people.

        a couple told us they got passports for their children in case they have to flee because of Trump

        Please tell me you just burst out laughing at them.

      It’s always projection with them, isnt it? How much did Hillary take from Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc ?

      1. Stinky Wizzleteats

        If it takes that path Trump just needs to fire him. A short term political hit for long term political gain.

        1. Suthenboy

          I cant understand why there hasn’t been a ‘wrap it up. submit your report this afternoon, then pack up your office.’ already.
          If there is something to find they would have found it. This banana republic bullshit has to end.

          1. Ownbestenemy

            Maybe it’s a give them enough rope situation…or…its political theater for the masses to guise the notion we are a “functional republic”

          2. Hyperion

            Trump should have made Trey Gowdy, AG.

      2. Tejicano

        But Hillary was going to do GOOD things with that money. Even if it went directly into her personal bank account.

    5. OneOut

      WSJ has an online article today announcing that Fed prosecutors in NY have opened an investigation into the zTrump inaugural committie.

      Seems like they are concerned that contributors gave money hoping for access to the President.

      You just can’t make this shit up.

      1. Ownbestenemy

        It really is coming together as a soft coup and the People will just have to accept that fact eventually.

          So the Chiefs are the Collingwood Magpies?

        2. CPRM

          Funny that it is against the team Schottenheimer coached into make the playoffs and choke after he did that for so long in KC

          1. Mojeaux

            It doesn’t seem to matter which coach. It’s like a conditioned reflex.

      2. OneOut

        Exciting finish to a game.

          It was that! My heart was pounding.
