No screaming, no ambulances…is it possible I beat STEVE SMITH here?
#$%& that was not fun. The TSA being the TSA, the long flight…I knew I should have skipped United and taken the Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. And now into one of the busier airports in the world. Despite the crowds, I had to keep a wary glance out for STEVE SMITH. Hard to hide a giant RAPESQUATCH anywhere, but in a European airport…who knew.
No STEVE SMITH here…
Nothing…
Screw it, I am heading into Amsterdam. If STEVE SMITH could hide in a city, it certainly would be that one. The freakshow that is part of that city wouldn’t even blink at him. If any of my soil scratching, Calvinist relatives wandered in, they would simply assume his status as one of the DAMNED and leave off.
Now, where to look… I don’t think the Dutch accept twigs, berries and leaves as currency, so that would mean no Hotel. Wait, a park! That gives me an idea…
TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR “THE STEVE SMITH SANCTION – Vondelpark or Tante Zaan’s?”
Does this have anything to do with the Twitter notification I got that “Steve Smith followed you”? Because I’m scared now.
STEVE SMITH FOLLOW MANY GLIBS AND OTHER PEOPLE. MAY “LIKE” TWEETS. AND BY LIKE MEAN RAPE. NOT SURE HOW TO RAPE A TWEET, BUT WILL BE INTERESTING FINDING OUT.
This is why I stay away from you guys. I don’t own a weapon that will take out a rapesquatch.
Your libertarian card is hereby revoked. Report to the nearest sporting goods store and purchase additional firearms in order to reapply.
My wife has been watching the documentaries about Waco. She now wants more guns.
Rules of Engagement? One of the greatest “fuck the police” movies ever.
Do your duty man and go buy the woman some more guns.
No, it’s couple of the more recent ones. Not sure even which ones they are.
It’s a great film. How anyone can watch it and still think the police (particularly federal) are ‘just here to protect us’ is willfully deluding themselves.
What do you recommend for taking down a rapesquatch? I await your reply. Tanks are illegal you know.
https://ruger.com/products/guideGun/models.html
here you go. 375 Ruger should kill most anything dead. If a couple of 416 Ruger rounds can’t kill it then your target is immortal.
That caliber against STEVE SMITH is like shooting an elephant with a .22

“It’s on our guarantee: If Didi’s can’t kill it, it’s immortal”
I’d be more interested if it would kill a charging grizzly with one shot. I mean without the recoil knocking me unconscious. My BIL is always asking me to come out there and go hiking in the mountains with him. He’s a little crazy, but it’s not him I’m worried about.
wouldn’t matter

For some reason, that reminded me I need charcoal lighter.
Like Lighter fluid? Do yourself a solid and get a chimney starter.
I use lighter fluid in my chimney starter because I am uber efficient.
Do you shove one if these in there alos?
Naa, sometimes I use the propane torch if I am out of lighter fluid though.
This x 1000

Everyone should own at least one Mosin.
More than one. More than one!
I have more than 1.
I only went through a background check for one of mine. The others are built on pre 1899 receivers.
Interestingly the only one I went through a background check for has a Soviet hammer and cycle crest.
You need at least two, if (like most people) you are using them for tent poles.
if (like most people) you are using them for tent poles.
SAD!
AK vs. AR vs. Mosin-Nagant.
See? They even mention tent pole as an acceptable alternative use.
Only if you’re out of ammo! We all have ammo right?
I desecrated mine. No more wood.
Why? When I have a Garand?
I, too, was surprised to get a notification that STEVE SMITH followed me and by followed, mean…
put square peg in small hole?
*wince*
I had to explain to my podcast co-host what a rapesquatch is, and why is it following her.
And by following her, I mean….you know.
STEVE SMITH should really follow Bill Clinton, the first Sasquatch American president.
Thomas Jefferson would like a word.
I do not envy a man, or hiker of any gender, who is followed by STEVE SMITH.
The freakshow that is part of that city wouldn’t even blink at him.
I didn’t think the Red Light District was that fucked up. I’ve also read the city is cutting down on the number of windows available for rent to prostitutes.
“But contrary to what a lot of people might think, the Amsterdam Red Light District has a very friendly atmosphere and isn’t as dangerous as it used to be.”
What a ringing endorsement. Not as dangerous as it used to be!!!!! Come on down!
Come to scenic Fallujah it is not as dangerous as it used to be.
Be sure to take a break here.
Red light district?
Do they even have 20 lb bags of human shit on the sidewalk?
I don’t know about bags of shit, but Amsterdam struck me as a dirty city. Lots of litter, overflowing trash cans.
Yeah, all of the shit is probably in Germany. Also in the red light district.
I thought the shit was in San Francisco.
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Alan Diaz dies at 71
And yet, for some reason, that article couldn’t be bothered to show the prize-winning photo of a young buy getting screwed by the state.
The moral, of course, is that the state will rape you even harder than STEVE SMITH. And by rape harder, mean….
Hmmm… who was president when that happened?
*checks earpiece*
I’m being told that its OK.
Still a prisoner of the Cuban state:
http://www.giron.cu/es/noticia/sociedad/los-nuevos-frutos-de-la-universidad-de-matanzas
The first thing I noticed was the Fed’s finger wasn’t on the trigger. Times were different then. Sort of.
They didn’t want to kill him; they wanted to return him to Cuba.
Only some DoJ asshole would cut the fingers off his nomex gloves.
It was style at the time. Along with an onion on the belt.
Toni Morrison also has a Pulitzer – for Beloved. Enough said.
Insert polack joke here?
lol……right after they ate the stork.
In Southern Colorado the Dutch start wildfires.
I have only flew through Amsterdam and do have regret I did not visit the red light district. Vienna on the other hand……
I spent two nights in the Netherlands with my German relatives. Dad’s first cousin Angela is the sort of devout Catholic who wanted to stop at the church in every town we stopped in. Until we got to Breda, near the border with Belgium. We went into the church… and it was a Reformed church.
We didn’t stop at another church until the Catholic cathedral in Aachen.
Aachen Cathedral is pretty neat.
The red light district was a fun place to wander about.
My pubescent brothers certainly had an enjoyable evening.
That area of Stuttgart made for some interesting window-shopping.
Great new podcast Gbob. Highly recommended and you’re the first guy to inspire me to try the podcast setting on itunes (always assumed it would clog up my HD – or that the ones featured there had charges).
Sentry is a 5 issue miniseries this time around. Definitely looking forward to the next 4 issues.
Thanks! Seriously. It’s been fun. Fun enough that I’m upgrading my set up and branching out to other pods. Anyone want to but heads together for a Glib style podcast?
Not finished the latest episode yet, but it’s a blast so far!
An episode a week is a pretty aggressive schedule. Do you think you can keep it for long?
It’s really not too bad. Two of us sit around, drink and talk a bunch anyways. We’ll spend a couple hours one night reading some books. Chat about them while drinking. Next day we’ll type out some of the framework. Give it a look over. Quizzes probably take me longer than the summaries. Then we hit the studio after a couple of drinks. It’s like going out to the bar, but we’re amusing each other instead of going to a concert. Honestly, we find ourselves getting antsy to do more by the end of the week.
If we have enough listeners, and can find a way to monetize it, at the end of about 6 or 7 months, then we’ll do it forever. Hell, if anything, expand it. Do live video, take calls, interactive chats, etc.
With the new equipment, it’s going to sound so much better by next recording. Plus we’ll be able to do interviews. That’ll be pretty damn sweet.
You might be able to get some advertising money eventually – I think that’s where it comes from for podcasts – sponsorships etc – but I still think you get more funding options via youtube – although there is absolutely nothing stopping you from starting a patreon any time.
I’d definitely be up for some discussions at some point – I can talk about lots of random crap.
Right? Most of us are pretty good at doing some drinking and giving unsolicited opinions and such. Obviously, if a bunch of glibs got together to do a podcast, I betcha we can make something better than whatever TOS is putting out. Plus with more mexican weed and butt sex!
What pray tell is gbob’s podcast?
It’s kind of goofy. It’s called “A Gal Walls Into a Comic Shop” where I tourturr my co host, Barbara, by having her read comics and answer trivia.

Just search for “gal walks” on itunes shop and you’ll see it too.
I forgot to buy lard. Now I have to drag the kids back to the store.
Make your orphans get the lard for you.
Depending on the kid and your time frame you may just be able to render one and save the trip.
Too Jewish….
Ha! I had a boss who, when I said I was going to make schmaltz, she said, “Too Jewish.”
Ropin’ and and a Riding and Whompin everything that lives
The old Number 6
“I forgot to buy lard. ”
Wait… what? Are you telling me you don’t fry enough pork product to have your orphans stacking that shit high? *buzzer sounds. another one to turn in card*

Jesus Christ. I’m scared of heights, so that just freaks me out.
Beautiful video, though!
I was about 200 feet up a wall and had to make a Dime sized Bump work as a hold, I am here so it worked, but after that I was done Climbing,
I never felt more Alive than knowing I Had to make that series of moves, Fuck up, Dead……
The only time I’m afraid of heights is when there is no ground under my feet and I’m going 600 mph. I hate flying, really.
I work in places like this: https://postimg.cc/image/cpcvxiw67/

No hard hat? Really?
Just remembering a few folks died last year in Navy shipyards (Japan definitely, maybe San Diego as well) – not that a hard hat would have helped falling 6 stories into the dry dock….
My brother-in-law used to work as a sail rigger. He worked in the marina across from me, and he’d send me pics of him in a bosun’s chair at the top of a 60′ mast. More than once I almost threw up.
Yeah, Im not sure how I’d feel about sitting in one of those things.
I do.
*barf*
I just watched this and kinda shook my head a lil bit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crwEkN_-Sac
Even worse.
Seriously. What’s wrong with these guys?!?
I have gone up a mast a time or two in a bosun’s chair back in the day. The best boat was the one where the owners wife liked to sunbathe topless and I could see over the fence from the top of the mast. I don’t even remember why they hoisted me up there but I remember the view. Go figure.

I was a serious rockclimber and mountaineer for decades. This was one of the most memorable bits I did.

Start around the 6m mark. You are running back and forth on the end of a rope 1500ft up trying to connect two crack systems on a near vertical wall. The kicker is the next crack system is on the other side of the prow of El Capitan. Great fun, but once it is over you still have 1500ft vertical to the top.
After that bosuns chairs (at dockside) and military parachuting, meh.
Per DEG’s pic request, my gf’s gun collection. Specifically just her HK pistols, I’m not digging through the whole safe.

Dare I ask what those P7’s cost?
I got busted taking those pics for you Tulpas. So, we were just reminiscing about her collection. At the time of purchase the P7M8 was $675 and the P7 was $775 many years later. Both have appreciated in value. ☺
Oh, and she has a decent amount of mags for both too.
Closer pic of the P7s.

Look upthread at ‘polack joke’
So, what is the typical shitlord doing tomorrow? I guess we’re going to walk down to the village 4th celebration and I’m gonna seek out anything alcohol.
I rented a car for a week to see if I want to buy one and I’m enjoying it so far, a Tuscan. It’s not luxury or anything, and the seats could be more comfy, but I like the ride and the zippiness of the 4 cylinder, compared to the Rogue I tried out, which was a total dog, I hated that thing. So now I think I’ve narrowed my choices down to Tuscan, Rav 4, or maybe a Mazda CX 5. Anyone have any small SUV choice advice?
Beer and BBQ Pork stuff
Nothing wrong with that.
I drove the new VW Tiguan. Loved it.
Funny that you mention that. There was actually one parked right beside me when I left work today, a sort of light sea green color. Nice looking SUV, I had forgotten about those. I also forgot about the BMW X3, mostly because of the price.
I encourage you to drive one. The new ones have a kick ass warranty, too.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
I had a Mazda sedan when I was younger. Got totaled. Loved that car.
Fireworks tonight. I’ve seen only one person open carrying.
Tomorrow.. gym, yard, then laze around at bars.

‘They’re just cheating us’: East Europeans decry ‘food apartheid’ that leaves them with inferior products
Good fucking god, “apartheid” and “colonialism”? Really? Why not trifecta a “holocaust” in there?
Don’t worry, soon the EU are going to commie their way out of first world problems and then we can have some peace. I mean except for our own idiots.
Also, comments are extra-delicious on this one.
So what you’re saying is – members of the EU like to screw each other over?
Seriously though – outside of the garbage toxic baby food produced in China – this is kinda weird. I’ve never heard about cans of spam having different contents in the Philippines vs the US. Seems like all kinds of quality control issues. Has this come up before?
Rhetoric aside, the products are lower quality, but the purchasing power in those countries is lower too. Funny how the article doesn’t address prices.
A massive object devastated Uranus a long time ago and it never fully recovered
STEVE SMITH, you wouldn’t happen to know anything about this, would you?
And no one has seen Warty…
Largely repasted from the morning thread asking about my whereabouts:
No, I haven’t killed anyone…lately.
Truth is that it’s been crazy wacky here since I moved March 31. I had 90 days paid in an apartment, then had to move out June 28 to a hotel, and am closing on my house (fingers crossed) this Thursday. A huge semi full of my household goods is in storage. I’ve been living out of a couple of suitcases.
At work, they are making me a manager in about 2 weeks, which I’ve known about for 10 weeks. I’ve been in a huge holding pattern since then, dying to get on with it.
After a few weeks, I hope to get happily regular about posting. For now, Mr Splosives is usually on this computer and I daren’t boot him off. I do lurk almost daily.
Keep on keeping on, ‘Murca!
Glad to hear things seem to be working out. Best of luck.
