I think the first time I was really drawn to computer programming as a career was when I realized that I could literally read the internet and be good at it. “Hey nobody at [GIANT COMPANY] knows how to do this!” I sneak off to the internet, use whatever came before Google — Yahoo? Lycos? Anyhow, I would type in some phrases, spend an hour or four reading blog posts and trying shit, and come in the next day with something that worked. Almost 20 years later, this still works. Am I good a writing code or just good at Googling? Who cares? The only people enjoying more job security than me right now are pipeline welders. I’ll tell you what is different — I used to have to write the code myself or at least copy and paste and change some things. Now, at least half the time, there’s an app for whatever I’m trying to do. Also, it gives me an excuse to be on the internet all day.
France beats the Belgians, like every war ever.
Wow. It turns out that the DOJ settled with Cody Wilson — he will be allowed to post specifications for essentially any type of firearm a private citizen can buy without an ATF endorsement. He has more plans. I’m also hoping that now that DD’s legal troubles are over, they’ll drop the price of the GhostGunner about $500.
Huh. I heard a lot about “fuckin’ the dog” when I worked that construction job in Houston, but I didn’t realize how apt the metaphor was. The article implies that this congress may not have been illegal as late as last year, but I’m pretty sure an ass-whipping is part of the deal anytime you get caught.
That’s some redneck shit, even for Georgia. Oh, Republic of Georgia. What an asshole.
Maybe other states should also ban their legislatures from meeting in even years. Texas #1 state to do business in.

Montana is every two years; doesn’t seem to help.
Ideally, they’d meet once a decade and all have to go into exile for 20 years after, but every other year beats every year.
Used to have that here but the turds managed to snow voters into thinking they needed an annual legislature. Surprise! More opportunity to fuck over private citizens and reward public employees.
I miss the Big Montana. Arbys should bring it back.
Also funny how “Fuckin’ the dog” and “screwin’ the pooch” are essentially the same metaphor, but mean different things.
They do? I’ve used them interchangeably, depending on company.
What’s the difference? I’d hate to keep using vulgar metaphors inappropriately.
I always assumed that “Fuckin’ the dog” meant fucking the dog.
I saw FOD as wasting time, goofing off, and STP as screwing up something completely.
That’s how it works in my head.

How long before someone calls for Texans to pay their fair share and bail out states like Illinois and California?
About two decades ago.
Actually, I seem to recall back in the oil crisis in the ’70s, there was something (price controls?) that screwed oil producers (like Texas) to keep oil consumers (like Illinois and California) happy. Don’t recall any detail, could be wrong (I was in grade school at the time and only casually following energy policy).
In Canada, we called that the National Energy Program. The screwee was Alberta and the screwer was Central Canada (under the Trudeau government). Turd-oh Junior (AKA The Hair That Walks Like A Man™) is following in Dear Old Dad’s footsteps on this file, going to bat for the 30,000 dairy farmers (mostly in Quebec) and starting a trade war with Trump in the process, but hardly lifting a finger to do anything for the slump in Alberta’s (and now Saskatchewan’s and Newfoundland’s) energy sector.
Honest to God, the last time Alberta had a surplus the government should’ve bought a black-market cruise missile with a 100 kiloton nuke warhead. It would’ve come in handy.
yeah, i was going to say a decade ago. the state stabilization bailout was back in the Bush/Obama bailoutapalooza.
This was not the first time I was late to the party, and it will not be the last.

The worst part of having a straight job again is not being able to click on Q links.
But if you had a gay job you wouldn’t want to click on Q links.
You knows, I was just saying to myself, hey, there’s been a startling – almost dangerously so- lack of titties around here lately. I mean, some people tried to post some here and there, but they were only b’s or c’s at best.
I like 21 because she isn’t too narrow. I’m on board for 25, and maybe even more so because she’s got a kind of 60s thing going on. 32 looks like she might be easily amused, to put it lightly, but I find it endearing.
As long as 35 does naughty things before she discards my desiccated corpse, I’m in.

“another step toward Wilson’s imagined future where anyone can make a deadly weapon at home with no government oversight”
I came.
““All this Parkland stuff, the students, all these dreams of ‘common sense gun reforms’? No. The internet will serve guns, the gun is downloadable.” Wilson says now. “No amount of petitions or die-ins or anything else can change that.””
I didn’t think I could cum twice in a row that quickly.
Andy Greenberg looks pretty much exactly like you would expect him to look.
Did anyone else read that quote in ZARDOZ voice?
As long as mankind exists, we will make deadly weapons. A cursory glance at the makeshift weapons present in any prison system will confirm this, and that’s under the maximum possible government restriction/supervision.
I’m gonna mangle the bit, but I think it was Joe Rogan in his most recent standup who said something like, “You’re gonna pass a law to keep guns out of the hands of criminals? You can’t even keep drugs out of prisons!”
The point is not to keep criminals from getting guns. The point is to make criminals of anyone who has one.
Well, that’s the other good quote: “We have a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem and a tyranny problem disguised as a security problem.”
Someone get that article into David Hogg’s hands ASAP.

Mothers are less productive at work – shocking.
Young mothers are less productive at work than their male counterparts and women without children, according to a new study of Danish workers, a finding with important implications for gender-pay gaps.
Productivity is measured as output per hours worked, using Danish government records that tie workers’ demographics to output data from individual firms.
For example, mothers between 30 and 32 years old were about 87% as productive as similar childless men, the University of Chicago study found. Those moms earned 85% of the wage of the men without kids. Similar gaps in wages and productivity occurred for mothers between ages 24 and 35.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/mothers-in-denmark-are-less-productive-at-work-study-finds-partially-explaining-gender-wage-gap-1531224000?mod=hp_major_pos10
Interesting how closely the wage gap tracked the productivity gap.
LIES. Only the patriarchy can account for this!
Math itself is a patriarchal concept so it can’t be used for proof in this case. It feels like women are getting paid less, therefore that is the truth. Case closed.
Hell, I’m pretty sure if you just look at “dollars per hours worked” the supposed wage gap nearly disappears.
I think the wage gap might be the most insane of all commie lies. It doesn’t stand up to even the slightest scrutiny.
It does not. But they say if you repeat something often enough, people will accept it as true, and here’s your proof.
Damn Belgians.They had ONE job. ONE. Beat France.
The diving/antics in this WC has been high.
Along with the ref not calling a foul (just outside the box) that happened right in front of him that he had a perfect angle to see.
I can’t be sad when Belgium loses in the WC. 1986, 2002, 2014.
Lukaku was asleep the whole time – my husband thinks he was paid off.
Or just being himself? Lukaku is the most talented and also laziest person out there. Some days he just decides he doesn’t feel like running.
I initially thought lazy, but he watched the cross fly by multiple times.
How conflicted are you over Ronaldo’s xfer?
Very. It will be very interesting to see him go up against real defences not unlike Atletico .
But it changes the trajectory of Serie A.

Love Mandzukic. If only Juve could find a way to hold him. Dude is a workhorse with skill.
He could always go back to Bayern.

Im guessing that she is exaggerating the extent of the threats.
You misspelled “completely making up”.
Other than Denver, Boulder and the rich ski towns, the rest of Colorado is sensible.
I’m visiting a town south of Denver, and yesterday gave me a slim hope for the future of mankind when a 16 year old told me that if anyone told him to check his privilege or go to a safe space to talk he’d punch them in the face.

“Pedophiles Believe They Should Be A Part Of The LGBT Community
Pedophiles are rebranding themselves as “MAPs” or “Minor Attracted Persons” in an effort to gain acceptance and be included into the LGBT community.
According to Urban Dictionary, the blanket term MAP includes infantophiles (infants), pedophiles (pre-pubescent children), hebephiles (pubescent children), and ephebophiles (post-pubescent children). Some MAPs also refer to themselves as NOMAPs or “Non-Offending Minor Attracted Persons”.
These pedophiles seek to be a part of the LGBT+ community, even going so far as to make a “Pride” flag for Gay Pride Month.
The “MAP/NOMAP community” tries to pull at people’s heartstrings by claiming that pedophiles are misunderstood marginalized people, and that as long as their attraction to children is not acted upon — or in some cases when they get permission from the child — that they should not be villainized.”
http://dailycaller.com/2018/07/09/pedophiles-lgbt-community/
Sigh. I’m sure the Big L party will take this one up as loudly and indelicately as possible.
fucking. awesome.
“infantophiles”
In a sane world we’d call them “dead”.
At least sometimes the problem seems to be self-resolving:

Hey, that’s right around the corner!
Like the noose they tied for him as they told him stories about Florida prisons.
Only when caught, unfortunately.
Best thing he ever did Im sure.
At least his final act was a public service.
I’m fine with the death penalty for that. Preferably through the justice system, but I’m ok with vigilante too.
Oh boy. Here we go.
hebephiles
(((OMWC))) double triggered?
/unzips
Go on…
What’s a “pederast”, Walter?
Eight year olds, Dude.
“Hebephiles”? I would have guessed that meant something else.
The Greek version of a “shiksa”?
If the shiksa is lusting after the Jewish boy, then she would be a hebephile, right?
What about DAPs? Dog attracted persons? Also, the guy who had sex with the male dog, is that gay?
Only if he identifies as a male dog. If he identifies as a bitch, it’s not gay.
So dating a trans woman isn’t gay? Seems like it would be half gay?
It’s only gay if the balls touch
Well, actually, let me explain that one for you.
Well that clears it up then!
Also, a how-too guide. For those so inclined.
Health class has definitely changed.
Before that article, I thought sucking a woman’s cock would be the same as sucking a man’s cock. But now I know better. And knowing is like, a third of the battle.
How is a pedophile who is attracted to his/her own sex not gay/lesbian?
“post-pubescent children”
Something that could not exist without government.
MAP? This puts Dora the Explorer songs in a really creepy light.
Try this one then.
At least there she’s 15.
In a development that will surprise absolutely no one here, it appears that the dancin’ FBI agent who negligently discharged his firearm into a bar patron will get his gun back. And, of course, he is still employed by the bureau.
https://nypost.com/2018/07/10/dancing-fbi-agent-who-allegedly-shot-bystander-at-bar-gets-gun-back/
Naturally. They’re mainly just embarrassed that he winged a guy. They have to give him his gun back so he has a chance to get on the scoreboard with a good clean kill
The FBI holds itself to the
highestpretty highstandards. And they’re not about to admit they fucked up by hiring this guy.Guy committed a fucking felony. That’s an automatic firing from any job other than a government job.
Mens rea for the King’s Men. He didn’t mean to neglegently discharge a firearm and injure someone while drinking.
FBI policy requires him to be armed at all times, including off duty. Or drinking off duty. So it’s the agency’s fault.

It was a male dog???? GROSS!!1
I know right? GAY BESTIALITY IS A BRIDGE TOO FAR
Was there not a single female dog on that entire block????
It was dog training! He was just trying to establish dominance!
I hope he picked up the dog with, “You sure gotta purdy mouth, boy!”
“You shoulda seen the way that golden retriever was eyen’ me. Totally askin for it.”
Since you had to mention it……obligatory .
I can get a 101 of those?
I so wanted it to be a female so I could use my “bitch set me up” Marion Barry gif.
The internet is such bullshit.
The irony of that happening in Montrose, which is the traditionally gay neighborhood in Houston, was not lost on me. However, I don’t think sex or sexual preference is the thing dog-fuckers are concerned about in finding a hookup.
That’s excellent news about Cody Wilson. I posted a link the other day from the L A Times about a big cop show-and-tell about teh gangs and their superdupermegascary ghost gunz. It reeked of a PR campaign for some sort of bullshit new law.
Are they going to ban mills, and lathes, and lumps of metal?
As soon as someone explains to the gun grabbers that those things are used to build firearms, then yes.
“Are they going to ban mills, and lathes, and lumps of metal?”
Yes. See: the war on drugs. Or go try to buy some sudafed.
We need common-sense machine tool registration.
It’s a great article. Particularly how aghast the writer gets. I could almost hear the hyperventilating!
At some point there going to ban gun powder. Don’t tell them we can make that as well.
*rewatches STTOS “Arena” episode.*
I remember that! Lol.
Always good music.
When are we as a country finally going to have an open & honest dialogue about common-sense snake control ?
Look, no one’s trying to take your snakes away. All they’re saying is that no one needs an assault snake.

At least scary black ones with the thing that goes up.
That’s RACIST!!
Marry a stranger? Only if she’s a smoking hot eastern European blonde with excellent cheekbones.
Let me know how that works out when her 14 “brothers” in the Russian mob come to visit.
I married what was pretty close to a stranger if you think about it. Six and a half years later it seems to be working out.
My wife and I were married just under six months after we met. Granted, we didn’t plan it that way – the timeline was sped up quite a bit when I got orders to Okinawa. We were engaged for about three weeks, found out I was going away for a year, and figured hey, why pass up the extra money? We were going to get married anyway. It’ll be 15 years on Friday.
“I married what was pretty close to a stranger”
How else were you going to get married? jk
You think you married someone strange?
What about Banjos?
Banjos may be strange (she married Sloops after all), but let’s talk about the really strange thing. You get to at least meet your spouse before you marry them, and if things don’t work out you can get divorced. The real Russian roulette is having kids. Now you have an utter stranger in your house that you get to pay for for 18 years whether you like them or not.
A friend of mine married a Ukrainian matching that description. Shockingly enough, she turned out to be a money-hungry bitch who was just trying to get citizenship. Stunning, I know.
So like Bizarro Groovus?
Are you sure?
Sloop, what ever happened to the good doctor?
Bizarro as in opposite. He married a Ukrainian and emigrated there.
I’d be curious. He and I corresponded off-line before and shortly after this website was launched (he’s the one who told me about it). He was thinking about a trip to the US early last year, and we were trying to figure out if it made any sense for us to meet up while he was in country, and then *poof* nothing.
Haven’t heard from him in some time. Tried reaching out to him over yr last year but…nothing.
If you’re lurking out there Doc, don’t be such a stranger.
Hope he’s o.k. Granted this is the second time he’s ghosted so not completely out of character.
Stop sugarcoating it. He was murdered and cut up so his organs could be sold on the black market.

My wife’s uncle did the same. And it turned out the same.
She actually put a knife to his throat and demanded his 401k. This was after something like 6 years of marriage.
…and? Did he give it?
That show is a guilty pleasure.
Maybe other states should also ban their legislatures from meeting in even years.
Having practiced law in Texas, I don’t really regard it as being a lightly regulated state at all. Certainly not compared to AZ, which has so many fewer laws on the books that it took me awhile to trust that I wasn’t just missing something when AZ didn’t have a law on it. I’d say its probably not too different than Wisconsin, actually (the other jurisdiction I practice in within the last twenty years), with the significant advantage that WI is rotten with unions and Texas has very few.
How much of that is a real difference in legislative outlook or it is just because Arizona has been a state for 60 fewer years & hasn’t caught up yet?
No clue. Might have something to do with Texas being solidly Democratic for generations, I suppose. But since the Repubs took over, I don’t think its really gotten any better.
I am not a fan of most tv shows today.
But I have a feeling this episode is gonna be fucking hilarious.
It will be funnier than that time she was duped into an interview with John McCain.
I still can’t believe she allowed herself to get roped into that shitshow. She was a viable presidential candidate* in another two cycles if she’d have politely declined and given a speech at the national convention. Instead, she volunteered to be on the bottom half of a terrible ticket running for the incumbent party who oversaw an unpopular war and an economy that was circling the toilet…while running against a black guy the media were simply fawning over.
*viable insomuch that she is a fairly attractive woman, is dumb enough to be malleable by the party bosses and is a bit of a redneck.
I’m not. There’s a reason why the local businessmen who wanted to raise taxes in her home town to fund a new community center decided that they should push her for mayor.
Also, Dondero thought she was the Libertarian jesus who was going to take over the presidency and usher in a new era where he could snort coke off an underage hooker’s tummy, which should have been a big warning sign that she was a nothing-burger.
I’m noticing a lot of these Trump videos from the 80s/90s popping up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rksd80-FCAw
When I watch Trump from the 80’s and up through the mid-90’s, he talks almost like a normal human being. A little hyperbolic and of a showman, but relatively normal. Did the Trump persona simply evolve with the times, or did the persona just completely take over as he aged and became more detached from reality? Was it all the spray tans? Did his personality split in two, with the reasonable part going The Hair leaving only the megalomaniacal aspects remaining in the rest of his person?
I blame the hair.

One of the truly deeply amusing things about CURRENT YEAR is all the progs who were born say 1995 or later who are ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED that there is a horndog in THE OVAL OFFICE. It’s completely unacceptable that the President of the United States has, at times, behaved unprofessionally around women.
Recent College Graduate Office Prog was very upset about it last year, that such a crude boorish man who probably made advances towards the secretaries was now sitting at the Resolute Desk. I made some kind of blue dress joke and she didn’t get it. Older But Still Crazy Office Prog had to gently explain to her that The Husband of the Most Qualified Candidate Ever had, in fact, had a “consensual” sexual relationship with Chubby Presidential Intern, but it was totally ok because bad behavior in Good Think People shows human frailty, but bad behavior in Bad Think People reveals Their True Evil.
You know, there are like 20 accusers of Clinton stretching back to 1969 (when he was accused of rape while away on his Oxford scholarship – which he strangely gave up).
It really is the funniest thing, having people who happily voted for and defended Bill Clinton tell me that it’s Very Important that the President set a Good Moral Example For The Children.
It’s just as funny as people running around in the 90’s yelling about how much character counts and bemoaning the dignity of the office have fallen in line behind The Donald.
To steal a line from mid-90’s-when-he-was-still-sane-and-funny-Rollins: “Same mouthwash, other cheek.”
Not to mention the very credible allegation of forcible rape when he was Arkansas attorney general.

I can’t put my finger on why he doesn’t do much for me, although scrolling through GIS, I found this and would absolutely attempt to pick that version of him up at a bar. Actually he reminds me of a blonder Jamie Dornan there, who I would incidentally also take home in a heartbeat even if he creeps nicole out because of his role in The Fall.
When my wife was binge watching The Fall you could’ve stolen one of her kidneys while he was on the screen.
I only saw the first season. He’s *very* attractive. Him being very attractive was not enough to make 50 Shades of Grey bearable in light of his utter lack of chemistry with the female lead. A friend kept pestering us to go for a it’ll-be-so-bad-it’s-good night, but about a third of the way through the film she was demanding we walk out.
Speaking of mills and lathes, I just picked up a little baby Sherline mill/lathe combo. It’s tiny, but I think it has enough travel in mill mode to cut slide rails on an 80% 1911. The motor works, but the speed controller is defunct. Anybody have any familiarity? Suggestions?

Slashing procurement and training budgets and then deploying under equipped and under trained soldiers to combat zones is unconscionable. Politicians who do that are scum, and should be crucified in the public square so the widows and orphans of the people who die because of their stupidity and fecklessness can take what small manner of comfort they can from the sight of justice being done.
Yeah, guess who wants to restart “UN Peacekeeping” after the military has been ground down in Afghanistan without replacing the equipment?
Is that his “Wag the Dog” moment after the grouping allegations?
No, no, he’s been droning on about muh peacekeeping since forever.
Too bad JT has to keep his nose clean to get promoted, I’m sure he’d have many, many things to share on the state of Canadian military and his Hairness.
You guys are going to force me to watch Zoolander one of these days. Zardoz as well.
Zoolander was much more fun than I expected.
Sadly, Zardoz was less. All the awesome stuff you always see is maybe 10% of the movie. It’s certainly worth seeing once, though.
That’s cool.
Perhaps my favorite part of Zoolander.
I’m going with the Computer Scene, without even clicking, let’s see…….
Yep, right up there with the playful gasoline fight.
Nope, good scene tho,
SUP TRES!
HEY YUFUS!
I was expecting this:

And in a local/national story, Trump sends another message to the bureaucracy.

I was about to post this, it’s good news if a bit late.
Thinking of movies, is Super Trooper 2 any good?
I’ve done a couple of contract negotiations and one of the fun, early tactics is to slide newspaper articles across the table at each other to establish positions. I think when Trump and AnnngggGela sit down to talk about defense spending, this is the first one he should put in front of her.

“was being used as a mobile headquarters, and a weapon is not foreseen and not necessary for a mobile headquarters”
Yes, I think I read that in The Art of War.
Sounds like the Glibs are better armed than the German Army. Lol. I honestly don’t care if they spend zero on defense, we need to drop out of NATO, bring our troops home, and let Europe devolve into monkeys throwing poo. They don’t want to pay to defend their existance, no problem. Screw ’em.
Devolve?
Yes, devolve. Right now they are just burying the poop behind each others’ backs.
Ah, I see.
Is Germany’s aversion to armed forces is still some sort of collective guilt over the Third Reich or just the desire to spend money on social issues. Seems like such a startling shift for a nation that was so militaristic prior to WWII. I guess the trauma of that war can have profound effects though.
I’d say more learned helplessness after a generation of us paying to protect them from the Bear.
I’ve met and gotten to know a few German officers through my wife over the years and they seem like fairly competent dudes. Although my wife had nothing but contempt for German forces that were in Afghanistan during her time there. Said they were over weight and did not have near the “soldierly bearing” of the British or Americans lol. Whatever that means.
Yes, and yes. They spent some and had a military back when Warsaw Pact was a thing, but were uncomfortable about it.
Now, that money is better spent elsewhere or just saved (Germans, after all) and they get to pontificate to others how to act (again, Germans).
I think Trump should go with this article:
https://www.indy100.com/article/angela-merkel-has-been-called-the-worst-chancellor-in-history-which-is-quite-awkward–b17bt_8d1Z
That’s hilarious:).
*sigh*
I’ve been drinking and watching multiple gunbroker auctions. A little more bourbon and tomorrow morning might be interesting.
You ever buy off of them?
Not yet, but at the rate I’ve been bidding the past week, it seems inevitable.
Gun show loophole
Yep. Bourbon and auctions. That’s how I recently became the owner of a rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor.
At long last the pre-ordered Crokinole board has arrived. $150 for a mass produced board that’s going to require some waxing and care to make it better, but already played a half dozen games with the girlfriend. On the plus side she beat the crap out of me in 2 games, so she’s interested in playing the game more. If people are interested, I could probably take some nice pictures and do a write up about the board and the game…
Play Strip Crokinole with the loser having to be anally penetrated by the winner.
Then post pics.
If anyone else wants me to help spice up their relationship, I’ll be here for the next 30 min or so.
I’m not into anal but thanks.
But how do you feel about anal being into you?
Grossed out. Lol.
So much for the tolerant Left!
Technically, that’s the tolerant behind.
Im prejudiced against the poo.
The tolerant left behind?
That “Family Friendly Certified” badge is like a poke in the eye to you, isn’t it?
It’s more of a geas that I, as a knight-errant, need to defeat.
I just checked on Youtube, am I understanding correctly that it’s some kind of tiddlywinks/shuffleboard/cornhole hybrid played by ginger palette swaps of Scott Shackford?
Closer to a shuffleboard bar game, the closest thing to cornhole is the scoring (and HM’s suggestion for the game), and no sticks (you just flick the discs).
I think I must have one of those.
This one?
#bookmarked
Sadly my wife doesn’t like playing board games.
Add anal.
I’m glad I wasn’t drinking when I read that.
I’m glad I wasn’t drinking
I know what these words mean, but not in that order.
To be fair, “Coed Topless Candy Land” does sound a bit suspicious.
Does she like pool or darts? This is more of a dexterity game then a standard board game.
Strip darts ftw.
From the sidebar:
“A YOUNG woman filmed dancing on top of a smashed-up ambulance in the aftermath of England’s World Cup quarter-final win is SCOTTISH, Sun Online can reveal today.
Larissa Bell, 21, from Glasgow, was spending a weekend in London with friends when she was pictured being cheered on by booze-fuelled England supporters as she trampled on the ambulance car.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/world-cup-2018/6744243/woman-jumped-ambulance-england-fans-celebrating-world-cup-sweden/
A rowdy drunk from Scotland? That is news.
Hope she was with friends. Would.
Photographic evidence is pretty clear she wasn’t English, but The Sun had to go an extra mile.
Did she eat a lemon before every one of those photos? Or did her father mate with a duck?
That was a fine duck.
Why not both?
Thanks to selling my cloning rights to Ancestry DNA I have quasi-reliable evidence that I’m English as well as Scottish, so I can just be like 25% embarrassed.
Also, that’s not an ambulance, that’s a four-door hatchback.
Also also, just in case anyone needs to learn this lesson, take a look at the pictures where she’s wearing makeup. Study them. Now, take a look at the one picture where she’s al fresco after a bender standing in her doorway. This is why you should always try to do a first date at a swimming pool if possible. Or in the rain.
I’m a quarter Scottish myself.
“well, to tell a family secret, my grandmother was Dutch”
The cheap, dolled up Instagram whore look is actually less appealing to me. I mean, she’s a perfectly slightly above average would for me even hungover.
This is the ultimate Eurobeat music video. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
So like Giorgio Moroder and Elvira had a baby?
That eerily describes Manuel.
Also, you’d think a song about female masturbation would have different para-para moves.
So Romanian music?
This is the height of Romanian music.
The thing that struck me is that this judge was ruling on 3 transgender name changes that day for one county.
https://www.nbc4i.com/news/state-news/ohio-family-says-judge-violated-transgender-son-s-rights-by-denying-name-change-request/1294494272
That is surprising.
Must be all the gay frog chemicals in the water over there.
Its the Scioto river. We just accept them anyhow.
Anyone post about Trump’s latest pardon? This day just keeps getting better:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-pardon-dwight-steven-hammond-20180710-story.html
Guess so. I think I searched the wrong names.
