STEVE SMITH obviously not go to that forest.
Pygmies? He would have to wrap them in duct tape.
The angry U.K. father’s wife is thicc.
This woman’s in charge of the future generation’s education, our children’s education and she’s rubber stamping this tripe.-
Umm, no. If you want your child educated, you’re responsible. Don’t buy the BS the government sells.
It’s the U.K., dude. That train has sailed years ago.

That’s totally not racist or belittling in any way. I wonder how many of them say “please let get me out of the stupid forest”.
Are you insinuating that Rousseauvian fantasies about natural man are wrong?
Yes.
I’m gonna guess that if that “corporation” were some socialist paradise, then the logging would be totes cool. Its only exploitation when a private company- Rougier- decides to do it for profit.
Yeah, I noticed that bit of propaganda too.
I mean, how many people bitched about what all the oil refining was doing to Gaia when Venezuela was open for business?
It is not brought up if it is for the people. See the Bernie standard for paradise, Norway.

I did some reading years ago about the few uncontacted civilization left on earth.
The impression that I got from the many things I read is that there is a reason that there are so few left. Almost all flee to the larger world as soon as they become aware of it.
Living in stone age conditions, under stone ages social mores is decidedly unpleasant.
And by unpleasant mean….
“Viagra could be a new miracle cure for BLINDNESS, scientists claim
Tests show the anti-impotence drug may stop further loss of vision for patients being robbed of their sight – and could even repair damage that’s already been done.
A two-year trial led by scientists at Columbia University in New York suggests the little blue pills could stop age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, in its tracks.
In the Columbia study, five elderly patients with AMD were given two Viagra pills a day for two years.
The results, published in the journal Ophthalmologica, showed the drug improved vision for one participant and completely halted deterioration for the others.”

I have never read or listened to anything he has had to say. Given the way the left hates him, it might be worth my time.
What’s he good on?
Any time anyone here links him it seems he’s only ‘good’ on saying things the left doesn’t like. Doesn’t seem like a thought leader to be followed by my estimation.
I’ve listened to him on a number of occasions. He is solid on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. And he will take all comers.
I’ve never seen him do anything I didn’t see conservative agitators do during the Obama admin, so I haven’t seen any evidence that he is an ally to liberty beyond what glory it brings him. Just sayin.

STEVE SMITH pulls out a story of a bankrupt French logging company and the joy of Camaroon Pygmies at the news. That’s what makes this site special.
In my youth, there used to be a rock that we would hang out on top of on the weekends. When we got too hot, we jumped in the water to cool off. Yeah, the water was 60’ below us bit we were hot…and pretty damned fucked up. You still had to do it juuuust right. I did it sober once and never took the plunge again. One of my buddies landed just off vertical once and had a limp for two weeks.
Good idea to protect the stones too.
Keep your legs together fer sure.
Juan: When you jump squeeze your ass cheeks together or water will fly up your butthole and pulverize your intestines
A friend of Mr. Lizard I see.
Ya I’ll stick to the hot rock…although I did do a 50’ jump once into less treacherous conditions.
Bluff hole in mulberry, AR has a cliff that is ever bit of 60 feet. My brothers and I have jumped off it many times.
Toes pointed, hands by your side, ass cheeks clenched.
And make sure there are no fishing boats or dog sized carp cruising below before you jump.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwi05eai7uPcAhULvFMKHdV5APIQxa8BCC8wBQ&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov
I’m glad there are still places where you can do something stupid like that.
When I was in school we used to go down to the rock quarry in Pittsboro. It was redneck perfection.
Everyone would raft up a bunch of inner tubes and coolers and float around the 300 foot deep lake/pit. There was a nice sheer cliff to dive off of – not sure how high, but it was at least 3-Mississippi before you hit the water and even a tiny bit of separation of your hands or feet was dangerous.
Every so often a rebel-yell would make its way around the crowd, marking it as a pure southern-redneck crowd. I made more than one love connection there. (and yes, the ex and I used to go there when we were in school, despite her inability to swim. And no, there was never a single redneck who looked at us sideways. Rednecks are mostly good folk and don’t generally resemble the racist stereotype at all.)
Nobody died while I was there, but I did come kinda close once. I also learned that there is a density differential between a can of beer and a can of cola during the same incident.
I climbed up the cliff and tossed a series of beers down to my compatriots. They hit the water and floated back to the surface to be retrieved. Then I tossed down my can of Coke. It went under like the others, but didn’t come back up. It just kept sinking. AUUUGH! So I did a swan dive off the cliff and hit the water vertical and streamlined, making for my last can of soda like a bolt from a speargun. I felt the icy water at the thermocline about 10 feet down as I chased my still-sinking soda. I powered down as fast as I could as the water darkened around me, finally catching up to the can in the dim, cold depths of the quarry. I could barely make it out as I grabbed it, and my lungs were starting to burn for air. Looking toward the surface, there was just a general glow, and no real indication of a surface. I began swimming up … at least I hoped I was headed up. It became a little disorienting in the dark. It was cold, and the pressure was crushing my chest. I began to fear that I had made a big mistake. I kicked with extra zeal, hoping that it wasn’t as far as it looked, but the glow didn’t seem to be growing.
Finally I felt the pressure letting up and the water getting lighter, so I started letting air out through my nose, releasing some of the burning carbon dioxide. After maybe 10 seconds of that, I ran out of air completely. And I still hadn’t reached the thermocline. Now I was really, really worried. I kept kicking and pulling for the surface, finally breaking through and gulping air like a goldfish on the floor of a kid’s bedroom. I was greeted with calls of “holy shit! We thought you were dead!” Apparently I had been under for well over a minute… which wouldn’t be that unusual at that time – I used to race 100 meters underwater at the pool – but it scared the crap out of everyone watching. They just saw me dive into the water and disappear without any sign, and then about a minute later a bunch of bubbles came up, but no skinny college kid.
On the list of stupid crap I’ve done, that probably only rates a 6. Heck, it didn’t even involve explosives.
So I’m glad our current generation has places where they can do stupid things like that. It might be stupid, but it is also part of makes life worth living.
You do realize Spudalicious is friends with OMWC, which means his story from his ‘youth’ took place shortly after the two of them hunted the Giant Sloth to extinction, right?
Sloth is tasty. And fuck you.
At least you’re chasing game older than OMWC.
He’s so old, he was an early investor in Apple. Not the company, the fruit.
My story dates pretty far back. That happened on my first trip. I was in a summer program at Duke and 16 years old… so… Summer of 1982. I also picked up a beautiful young coed who had a single room on that trip. I basically had 6 weeks of shacking up that summer. And then she broke my heart after we went back home… Dang, youth is awesome.
Darwinism at it’s finest. I used to free dive and experienced that same feeling several times. Our genes belong in the gene pool.
See, this guy gets it!
I really fear for this generation. At the very least of it, bachelor parties are going to be absolutely boring. In addition to embarrassing the crap out of the groom with a stripper, drunkenly telling stories about how you almost killed yourselves doing something really, really stupid is one of the great things about a bachelor party. This generation’s snowflakes is going to tell stories about how they almost stood up to a SJW that one time, but then though better of it.
You really wanted that cola or the challenge of getting the cola. Probably the former. A friend of mine would take a bet to do almost anything. Once, he bet us he could swim across the runoff holding pond next to the sewage treatment facility. A good two or three inch layer of green scum covered the entire pond which was about 50 yards across. $20 if he made it. He stripped to his shorts and dove in. About 25 yards in we see his head pop up from under water, slime oozing down his cheeks. Takes another breath and made it to the other side. “Pay up, Suckers!”. We gathered up the money and paid him. He reached back to put it in his wallet. Ooops, he had it in his pocket when he went into the pond. 100$ in it. He was swimming around in that muck for hours looking for it. Don’t think he ever found it.
The St. Croix river was a favorite spot for us.
Bridge jumping was big when I was teenager. A friend’s brother died jumping at ~70′, a jump I’m sure he had done many times before but something went wrong. Could have been alcohol involved.
Our spot was close to a bridge that crossed the creek next to the lake. You had to get there early. There was also a large parking lot directly opposite of us. On top of everything else, we had a day long floor show. Stupidity abounded and there were rocks below the bridge. We knew we were safe from the popo because they had a target rich environment and getting to us would have involved effort. Good times and good memories from long ago.
My completely private land is bisected by a once was train tracks with a bridge. Since no one knows who owns that bridge all summer I have to listen to kids jumping off of it.
It’s been years since I’ve had hanger steak. I forgot just how much flavor was packed into that cut. Make it a Wagyu hanger steak and you can skip the knife. My tastebuds are twerking with each other right now.
Tonight was chicken breast stuffed with a layer of homegrown swiss chard with a mixture of soft goatcheese, garlic, sage & rosemary (both of those from the garden as well), pan-fried and then finished in the oven; with mashed ‘taters. Sadly, I’m on call so no wine to complement, but damn, it was good.
Yum, Chicken ala Simon & Garfunkel.

Why are the left’s authoritarian fantasies so fucking long-winded?
Because they outlawed tobacco?
Because they’re jerking off at the same time. Gotta make it last.
But in our current moment, it [free speech] is a dangerously naïve idea.

Thoughts on state lotteries:
1. Tax on the poor?
2. State-sponsored gambling designed by hypocrites
3. A shitty way to fund schools.
But if I buy a scratcher every day I’m bound to win enough to move on up! If it weren’t just, the guvment wouldn’t be doing it!
d. All of the above. All the drunks I know also smoke and buy lottery tickets by the fistfull.
Hey! I don’t buy lottery tickets!
Me either. What a fucking collectivist.
It’s Friday night and you can read and type. You’re not my kind of drunk.
Ok, yeah, I’m running light, I’ve only had 12 beers, I had to have dinner with my aunt, don’t judge me!
Some of us are cheap and stop at one drink.
I’m cheep as well, that’s why all that beer was Red Dog.
The fucks in Mass would continue to sell tickets to games in which the big prizes had already been won.
Agreed that it’s all of the above.
The stupid tax.
Dos
Plus, private lotteries would pay out way better.
Wouldn’t call it a “tax”. Definitely 2 and 3.
I hate, hate, hate the lottery.
I’m generally opposed to gambling on the grounds of stupid. But I also support everyone’s right to be stupid, so no prohibition.
But state sponsored gambling is the worst possible choice. The 50% vig is just outrageous. If anyone understood what was happening, the people would change their tune on that one.
Still, when the power ball gets up around 200 million or more, I try to remember to buy a ticket. I’ve only bought 3 or 4 in the last couple of decades, so I don’t remember that well. But still, it is kinda fun to think about the possibility for a couple of hours.
The hypocrisy displayed by the left vis a vis gambling and state lotteries is so outer-worldly as to be evil. Seriously, you have to either be an evil fuck or an ignorant fuck to restrict/outright ban the former while encouraging the latter.
But I also support everyone’s right to be stupid,
Says the commenter who just posted a story about almost drowning retrieving a can of coke. (awesome story btw)
I too buy a ticket when jackpots get big. The only reason states have lottery’s is because someone said, “Just think of how many people we can employ running the lottery!” State bureaucrats want more bureaucrats.
Well, that and free stuff.
I was in GA when they voted in the lottery back in the 90’s. It was sold as being for education. They dedicated the money to education and with it they funded the “hope scholarship”. Everyone in GA who has at least a B average when graduating High School gets to go to a state school for free, as long as they maintain that B average.
Actually, a pretty sweet deal. Still, I was shocked that the bible belt southern voters approved it.
The very first winner got a 2 million dollar jackpot. Chanel 2 interviewed him and asked what he was going to do with the money. His answer was pure gold:
“Ya see… I got me some property over in Alabama….. and I’m gonna put me a double-wide on it!”
I crap you not. That was his answer. It was just absolutely perfect. The first lottery winner told us his dreams… and his biggest “someday” dream was to have a double-wide trailer home. Not even a real house… but a mobile home.
You couldn’t write that stuff.
I never buy a lottery ticket, but enjoy the free train and transit rides that the losers provide us seniors in Penna.
Pull tabs are the way to go.
Except for funding stadiums.
Cigarette taxes are the preferred method for stadiums.
I despise the lottery. That said…
My husband’s hobby is sweepstaking. He has won 2 trips (New York to see a movie premiere was one of them), 1 car, 2 ginormous TVs, every movie, Royals game and Chiefs game (with tailgating and parking passes) we’ve been to since we’ve been married (7-10 times a baseball season; 2-3 times per football season), dinners to expensive restaurants, honey-baked hams (x2), a Kitchenaid stand mixer with all the attachments (oh boy do I love that thing), a radio-controlled car big enough for a toddler to ride, and all added up, about $10,000 in lottery in the last 16 years we’ve been married (and he doesn’t buy lottery tickets often).
I used to make fun of him and I said, “I’ll stop making fun of you when you win a car.” He did. (Toyota Prius, in case you’re wondering.) I stopped laughing.
Now, when Powerball starts getting up there, I will ask him, “Have you bought a lottery ticket yet?” And I’m not even joking.
What is sweepstaking?
He enters free sweepstakes and contests. The Kitchenaid mixer and about half our Chiefs and Royals tickets come from local contests at Hy-Vee or Price Chopper.
The car came from the Audubon Society.
The trip to New York was from the local TV station (Last Airbender was the premiere). Another trip we won was to a place I had to go for an author shindig, and we ended up a) not having to pay for it at all and b) writing it off as a business expense.
My grandmother and one of her sisters used to do that. The sister was at the car swimming pool level.
We are to the point where the first thing I think about when he says “It happened again” is, “What are the associated costs?” (For instance, he just won 6 tickets to the Chiefs game yesterday, but no parking pass came with it. His buddy who wanted to go with him paid for the parking pass, though.)
I assume the taxes on the car were significant?
Well. They WOULD have been if it had been a regular ol’ car, but it was a hybrid. That year, there was a line item where you could write off every energy-saving thing you’d done (for us, that included windows and the Prius). We had to pay sales tax, but we didn’t have to pay federal income tax on it at all. (We had sold the car back to the dealership. Never even drove it once.)
Ah. Gotcha. Always wondered how that worked.
The prize administration company sends you a 1099, so it functions as income.
I have a friend who’s a tax lawyer and I was whining about having to pay the taxes, and she said, “Oh! Well, THIS year, there’s this thing…”
I wouldn’t have known about it if she hadn’t said something.
He’s only won one big prize where we didn’t get a 1099, but we should’ve. I don’t know why we didn’t.
Um… not judging, but… are you married to Satan or something?
Why Satan? Sounds more like Jesus fucking with the squares.
He’s good at finding obscure contests with good odds, like the Audubon Society–or maybe it was the Sierra Club, I can’t remember now–contest for the car.
I think I remember this story from a Twilight Zone episode.
If he were Satan, I’d be on a beach in Tahiti, with nannies looking after my kids at our hideously expensive island mansion.
Mr. Mojeaux is actually an incognito drug dealer. He has to explain his new toys to his wife somehow.
Sorry he wanted a Prius. I would have expected a Cadillac with 22s. Although part of being an incognito drug dealer is not driving around in a cadillac on 22s.
If he’s an incognito drug dealer, he’s a very bad one, is all I’m sayin’.
I did ask him if we could have a farm in one of our generous-sized basement storage spaces, and he said the electric and water bills would give us away.
I’m peanut butter and jealous of your basement.
I dont have one and would love love love to have a basement to make my own.
If he wont let you grow weed, at least get a pool table and bar as a concession
As soon as my rotator cuffs get fixed, I’m going to reconfigure the entire basement to expand the living space and attach a walk-in closet to my office so we can count it as a 4th bedroom.
Since I can’t grow weed, I’m going to reconfigure my storage area for better prep storage.
A Prius with an Audubon Society sticker sounds like an ideal drug dealer car.
I think it was actually the Sierra Club. But it would be the same effect.
Are you sure Mr Mojeaux is not just a con man?
He hasn’t been arrested for anything, so…maybe?

The ex-Mrs westernsloper #2 did not believe me when I told her I was the unluckiest person on the planet and is why I did not gamble. I explained that a slot machine would not even hiccup a random coin to me regardless of how long I played it. Slots usually cough up a coin to the player to keep them interested, but not me. I proved it to her when we went to Vegas to get married. After about twenty minutes on a slot machine and no jingle of coins she agreed with my assessment, slapped me on the forehead and said, “god, you suck”.
Years later in Vienna I sat and got drunk talking to strippers at a casino while a buddy of mine played the machines. He walked out of there with over ten grand. I just stumbled out of there with a breakfast date with a stripper that I forgot about in the morning.
You don’t even have the memory of the date?
The date never happened. I forgot about it until I saw her headed into my hotel as we were leaving early for the airport.
So… you stiffed your stripper?
I thought you were Mormon and that Mormons don’t do gambling.

The Spit 6 is really a body transplant. You need one of each.
Yep. They share a ton of parts. By the time my car rolled around they sorted the hinky problems with the swing axle.

Monsanto loses Roundup cancer lawsuit, must pay 289 million in damages to dying groundskeeper:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-08-10/monsanto-hit-280-million-verdict-historic-cancer-lawsuit
So, does glyphosate cause cancer or not?
If by ’cause’ you mean “may contribute to the formation of cancerous cells” then yes, the same sunlight.
If by ’cause’ you mean every time this substance is introduced into the cellular profile of a human being, then no, nothing does that.
I can just see the jury now:
“Well, the Plaintiffs had their hack expert, the defendants had their hack expert. We have no clue if glyphosate caused this man’s cancer. But, Monsanto is a big company with lots of money. Fuck it, lets give it to the little guy.”
Where is OMWC when you need chemical judgement? I am going to go with the jury went with bad corporation must pay.
That’s a good guess and the guy is a sympathetic character. From what I’ve seen a definitive link between glyphosate and cancer has not been established.
The Monsanto name has been demonized by the popular press for so long that I do not believe they could find a single juror in San Francisco who had not been thoroughly programmed to hate them before voir dire.
Hundreds of millions of gallons of Roundup have been sprayed on corn and soybeans for decades but somehow a janitor in SF develops cancer from it and no farmer has. I’m not a betting man but you would think the people spraying it on thousands of acres every year might be affected
The farmers wore gloves.
The goggles do nothing!
Quick search seems pretty inconclusive with some saying maybe others saying no. I’d lean towards the no based on my own skepticism and the fact that so much has been used.
AFAIK there was one very, very dubious set of studies that showed a tenuous link by using extremely cancer-prone mice and looking for statistical anomalies among many different subgroups. In other words, obviously crap studies with an agenda. This is the one the EU and the WHO chose to go with.
At the same time, tariffs and import restrictions to protect your local producers is a violation of the WTO. But banning dangerous substances isn’t. So guess how the EU gets around allowing in cheaper US agricultural products? And you thought “big ag” was behind all that secret lobbying that makes evil laws!
by using extremely cancer-prone mice and looking for statistical anomalies among many different subgroups
I believe that, when scaled up, you would have to drink a dump truck load of roundup a week.
And been genetically predisposed to spontaneous cancer production. And even then you’d have to cherry pick one sub-population… like men between 45-62 with one or more divorces. Of course, on further testing of just that subgroup, the effect would disappear.
May I please vent about the entrenched pig-headiness of some project managers? I’m sure the subject has been broached here on numerous occasions. Fuck it, commence rant:
A few of you may remember, over the last three years my primary focus of income has been in the painting field. Right now I’m overseeing an exterior residential project that requires, per the bid stipulations, at least four employees(including myself) on site at all times to complete the job within the allotted time frame of the bid. Now, while this is taking place, two other painting jobs are also underway at different locations. One was bid to meet time requirements with another four employees there continuously, and the last with five.
Our entire paint division consists of five fulltime employees and one part-time worker.
How in the ever-lovin’-fuck are we supposed to meet our deadlines? I’m working two weeks straight to try to hit at least one of those marks but, fuck me, how does this make sense?
Hire a part time employee?
Home Depot. Day laborers.
Oddly enough, they don’t exist here in Idaho.
Home Depot? That is odd.
They’re called Potato Depot there.
Unless you’re in Boise or Nampa.
I think you should tell whoever agreed to those contract terms to pack up the wife and kids and get them down to the job site to meet contractual obligations.
Ah, there in lies the rub. My project manager once contracted out his paint crew (long before I took this job) to my current employer then sold his company to my current company and is now currently a PM and sales rep for my division. He isn’t going anywhere soon.
*not going anywhere near a jobsite soon*
Stupid alchohol. Making me type out half-finished thoughts
Belated alcohol edit: therein
Dammit.
Have you at least pointed out, “hey dick face, we don’t have that many painters. Are you fucking retarded?”
Were you aware of these stipulations before taking the bid.
I’m an hourly employee with this company, not an independent contractor. My job classification is a lead painter and I have no say in the matter, I just take a healthy dose of shit when deadlines aren’t met.
Gotcha. That pretty much sucks.
Yeah, being a lead painter these days is not a good gig. They banned lead paint decades ago. That crap is dangerous!
The unemployment numbers have been killing my father in law. He builds houses, pools, barns, compost sheds, shops, etc.
He has always done all his work under the table for cash. He pays well to the people who work for him. 16 bucks an hours with no taxes removed is a good deal.
Since the economy took off and everybody got a legit job, he has been working with the bottom of the barrel labor force.
That said, its gonna be hard to find temp employees.
16 bucks an hours with no taxes removed is a good deal.
Damn. That is good.
Me: Boss,we can’t do that. It’s impossible.
Boss:. Mikey my job is to get the work. Your job is to make them happy with whatever it is we can do.
Totally OT- The Wifey is a semi-professional photographer and has recently started a side business using her images sold in “distressed” wood frames of her own design. She’s made some sales but it it isn’t going gangbusters. One thing that I’ve noticed is that the buying public is very interested in the frames and not so much the images presented. Fully half of her sales have been custom work done for friends and family. How do I break it to her that nobody wants to watch slide shows from her brain without crushing her creative spirit like a shitlord?
I’m too drunk to give good advice. So I say slap her across the face and then embrace in an awkward 1940s screen kiss.
Wifey is a farm girl. She’d tear me in half.
Has she tried putting her photos on stock photo sites like shutterstock.com?
Has she tried making prints and selling them singly?
Where does she sell? Etsy? If not Etsy, she needs to do that stat.
Likely her photos won’t bring as much as the frames, but if she separates them out, she’ll be able to see what people like and adjust.
That is excellent advice, Moriah (lord, i love that name) and I’ll be sure to pass it on once I find that pesky left leg.
If it not too much of a financial hit, I’d say let her try and enjoy.
^This^. Let her do her thing.
Yeah, I opened my big yap and the repercussions should send a ripple through the continuum at least until the heat death of the universe. Stupid Darryl. Stupid, stupid Darryl!
Fully half of her sales have been custom work done for friends and family.
Boom. Expand this. Custom work with awesome frames. Charge 20% more than what you find outrageous.
Enjoy!
I bought my wife a cricut maker last Christmas.
She has been making all kinds of shit that people within our circle have been buying.
It’s not a business, but it brings in a hundred. Bucks a week or so. It’s been nice.
Especially since my wife had to quit her job because of the fuckimg stupid abomination known as the state. (Basically health insurance stuff that I have detailed on here before, fuck you, ACA!)
But Lach, it’s right there in the name! Affordable!!
I will cheer for, lobby for, and cast a ballot for the “fuck middle class rural people living in arkansas act of 2018” if it ever comes comes to ballot. It has to be better than any thing that claims to make life easier on me.
Is she licensed to use that? Is she a licensed seller? Are you trying to steal money from the state! You’re an evil vicious monster! Just give your money to the state, you fiend!
I’ll echo the disdain for the ACA. I’ve said it plenty of times, but I can’t pass the opportunity.
Not only did we pay as much as 22k/year for insurance with a 13k deductible….. they failed to pay the provider half the time and we got cancelled for non-payment (when set up for autopay by the insurance company and the insurance company screwed up – twice!) We also had every single orthopedist in the state drop all exchange policies in the middle of my son’s treatment for a broken arm. So even though it was pre-approved by the insurance company, they denied coverage while we were in the middle of getting his final cast put on.
In all I paid more than triple what I had been paying and received no benefits in return. In fact, I paid more in doctor bills that should have been covered than I used to pay in premiums + deductibles.
So I switched to a christian exchange.
http://medishareplan.com/
Our premiums went from 2 grand a month to $500, our deductible went from $13k to $5k and the service is fantastic. The only things we gave up were coverage for mental health and “sin illnesses”….. injuries related to drinking or drugs are not covered, out of wedlock pregnancy is not covered, etc.
We have not met our deductible yet – we just completed year one with the coverage – so we haven’t tapped them for any big ticket items. But we had 3 different exchange plans fail to pay big ticket items after having everything pre-approved. So I’m anticipating that they’ll be way better than the exchange on that front.
This. I told her to pretend she’s making 100 bucks an hour when she’s doing her thing and she gave me the side-eye. I told her I wasn’t kidding and walked away.
Are these photos…the kinky kind?
Wink wink nudge nudge
Say no more!
“What’s it like?”
I’m not sure there’s a real market for photos. Now days it’s pretty easy to do it yourself. Their photos might suck but most people can’t tell. Also I’ve found from other areas that people don’t appreciate/value the time and talent it takes to do things well.
That photo that came with my wallet got me a lot of tail though pretending that was my wife who left me for a handicapped feller.
YouTube being YouTube.
Yeah, I’ve seen things on youtube that I’ve gotten a strike for going back to like 07 when I tried to post a clip from “Chronicles of Riddick” that are now easily found on the site.
Politics is downstream from culture. Culture is downstream from the internet. This shit is gonna get worse. Free speech isn’t just 1A. It’s a battle for the mindset of the people and right now we’re losing.
It’s disturbing seeing so many people rationalizing this censorship, they can’t seem to grasp the fact that they’re (and we’re) next.
That’s what scares me.
I’m not even talking politics, but which accounts were gone after for ‘copywrited’ content and those that weren’t. When I started on youtube it seemed (well and even now) it seems anytime I upload anything with copyrighted material I get flagged while 100s of other videos have the same content.
Did you alter it enough to make “original” content? That seems to be the standard they are supposed to use.
I havne’t had that problem since the beginning, but I still don’t know why my uploaded scene from The Chroncicles or Riddick got pulled while others from the same time are up. My other uploads have been original, so no need to worry about such things.
I don’t know if it’s the inclusion of audio vs video only or what – I mean, Razorfist, RedLetterMedia, DracoShado, GoodBadFlicks, etc all use massive clips of movies in their reviews – but because the audio comes in fits and starts it doesn’t get flagged? Plenty of folks do trailer pulls – granted, I can’t see copyright status on their vids…who knows.

This one permanently.
Fuck Twitter. So glad I never joined.
I joined, but my account (with zero tweets) is currently suspended.
Fuck them.
How the hell did you manage that?
Shit-Lord.
You are not supposed to use that in your bio Tundra. You are supposed to make them guess.
Commodius linked possibly the best tweets of all time earlier.
I’m still laughing.
Hopefully your kids are watching you laugh at nothing, and the daughter is asking you about that mysterious man who writes the Hat and Hair cartoons and wears those awesome sunglasses.
Hope springs eternal, brother!
I got perma-banned from Huffy by Ben Stiller for making an edgy joke about a (((guy))) that had recently passed. Sardonic comments don’t read well over the tubes.
The funniest part is that he has thirteen hundred followers.
Ha!
Instead of Friday Night Lights, around here we have Friday Night Tits.

There are 3 bouncy castles in photo 3.
Poor #11, she’s going to regret that in 20 years..
If she lives that long.
You do know at this point your schtick is even older than me busting Tundra about his daughter, right? I mean, you’re starting to sound kind of sad. #32 by the way…
32? Nay. 18 and 40.
He knows of what he speaks.
When there are no more tits to show; only then will my work be complete.
Stay healthy. You have lots of work ahead.
#9 would kill you with a serving spoon.
So I think an article about Mother Nature being a libertarian would be appropriate. Creative destruction, scarcity of resources, survival of the fittest, culling of the weak, etc.
I know the idea of “nature” is contentious but what isn’t. Any takers?
Well, libertarianism is a philosophy in harmony with human nature; which is why it doesn’t require a New Soviet Man.
Sexual dimorphism is your thing so, yes? Those titties ain’t going to motorboat themselves
Is it mother nature who grants natural rights?
Only if you are an animist.
Is that like a fury?
Furry?……fuck it
No. It’s someone who believes items in nature have a spirit.
I don’t think survival of the fittest is the way to market libertarianism. Free markets help the weakest more than any other system. It’s fine to say SoF in business is libertarian, but, in relation to decreasing human suffering, libertarianism is unrivaled.
IOW, libertarianism is how we combat Mother Nature and her bitchiness.
If you’re going to break into someone’s car, it’s kind of rude to do it when the people in the house are busy in bed.
Grrr.
Go on.
I’m getting old so the pasted on eyebrow/duck-lip doesn’t do much for me. On the other hand, a few weeks ago I saw a girl In a slinky yellow dress with probably the highest, tightest bum that I’ve ever encountered outside of a strip club or track and field event. She was with some nebbishy looking guy that drove a Range Rover. Geeks get all the lurve…
A nice ass is a reminder that beauty exists.

Pre Caitlyn, eh?
A Wonder Bra was a wonder to behold. Don’t get me started about the girdle section! (Dirty little pervert! Your dead relatives and all of the girls from gym class know what you’re doing!)
Negative Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.
These are the times we’ll be sorry we don’t have Alex Jones around.
I still can’t believe that the “powers that be” took him seriously, What next? Ban Sascha Baron-Cohen?
You either get the joke or you don’t. I don’t know how much further he could’ve taken it to make it any more clear.
He could have leapt naked up on the anchor desk and settled his toad-ish frame over a copy of the Constitution and let fly his spawn upon the waters. Fuck, I’d watch that! I’d watch that fer a dollar!
Landing is the hardest part. Especially on an island.
Landing is easy. Landing safetly is what’s difficult.
