    no longer shaves her [his] body hair and doesn’t wear makeup.

    Me either but my life is made up too.

    1. Count Potato

      “I eat a frugivorous diet which is mostly grown here organically with a goal of 100 percent free food in the coming years.

      She stated that her day on a plate usually consists of “mono meals, made up of a single fruit, such as two entire pineapples in a sitting or five mangoes, two quarts of orange juice or as many as 20 bananas at a time” (hence the “banana girl” nickname).”

      That sounds batty to me. I’m no biochemist, but I don’t think humans can live on fruit.

      Also, I think those casabas are fake.

      1. westernsloper

        Who can eat two pineapples in a sitting? I am thinking you would retch from acid overload. You need coconut cream, Rum, Ice and a blender to even that out.

        1. Count Potato

          I was thinking even if she could, fruit has very little fat or protein.

        2. Suthenboy

          And rum

          1. westernsloper

            Exactly!

  3. Florida Man

    So how do you live in a jungle for free? I mean, I don’t think I’m allowed to just move into a National forest or am I?

    1. westernsloper

      You are but you have to move camp every now and then. I don’t remember what the current length of stay in a spot is, but two weeks rings a bell.

    2. Mr Lizard

      MOVE IN JUNGLE NOW, STEVE SMITH SHOW YOU HOW

      1. STEVE SMITH

        STEVE SMITH LEAVE JUNGLE FOR UNCLE MAPINGUARI. HIM HAVE DRINKS WITH LIZARD ONE NIGHT, STEVE SMITH THINK. LIZARD SAY “SCOUT MISSION”. STEVE SMITH NOT SURE WHAT MEANS.

        IF BANANA GIRL WANT WOODS LIFE. STEVE SMITH SHOW!

        1. Mr Lizard

          Actually Mr Rapey Forrest Mammal, I’m down for a drink in the Tampa quadrant next week

    3. Ask the Bundys.

    4. She’s faking her existence.

      1. You sure this isn’t one of her relatives?

      Camping or maintaining a campsite for more than 14 consecutive days in a dispersed or non-fee area without having terminated Forest occupancy for a minimum of 10 days within a 31-day time frame.

      Now I remember that. You have to leave the Forest for 10 days a month.

      1. Florida Man

        Thanks

        1. westernsloper

          Anytime. I am not sure that helps. I mean can you even cook a good batch of meth in 14 days?

          I have honestly looked at it in the past. (Living in the forest, not cooking meth) and was surprised at the rules for living in our wonderful public lands. And now, hell they have been mismanaged for four decades or more so you have a good chance of getting bbq’d in a forest fire anyway.

    6. Tres Cool

      I think we need a Lobster Girl v. Banana Girl cage match. Pay-per-View.

      I’d buy that for a dollar.

    7. Suthenboy

      You cant. In most of SA owning land means hiring guns to take it and hold it. She is full of shit. She wouldn’t last a week doing what she claims. She would be raped, chained and put on a spit.

      1. Tres Cool

        Pics ?

    Cisse … Ibrahim … Boubacar … Keita

    That is like half a Premier League team right there.

      ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN WRY ONE. ZARDOZ LIKES YOUR STYLE. HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED MANAGEMENT IN THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS? SOME OF THEIR CLEANSINGS LACK…PANACHE AND HUMOR. THINK IT OVER, CHOSEN ONE. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

  5. Rebel Scum

    ‘Star Wars: Resistance’

    Pass.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      But it’s by Dave Filoni, the man who has single-handedly saved Star Wars for the past 10 years.

  6. Not Adahn

    The only thing that makes Banana Girl plausible is that she’s from Australia, which means she’s used to nature attempting to kill her.

    1. ZARDOZ

      ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS STYLISH RAT CHOSEN ONE. TELL ZARDOZ MORE ABOUT THIS PLACE WHERE NATURE TRIES TO KILL BRUTALS! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

      1. Not Adahn

        “Queensland: Fewer snakes than you’ve been lead to believe”

        There is a postcard of that, but I am having difficulty finding it.

        1. I guess it is natural that Stone Guy would want Australia lore…

      1. I. WANT. THAT. JOB.

        1. westernsloper

          Applicants must be aged 21 and over, have some skills with taking photos, writing and using social media, have a valid passport and don’t mind the occasional need to wear Victorian clothes.

          I like puffy frilly shirts too. But only for Pirate costumes.

          1. Chief, I could wear a Household Guards uniform with style. Bring on the gin and the first class seats!

          2. Gustave Lytton

            You’re going to have to watch the gin intake if you want to keep fitting into the required crinolines.

    2. straffinrun

      Chicks like that always find a dude to try the fruit first and make sure it’s poisoned.

  7. Not quite Bad Lip Reading, but it is pretty funny: https://youtu.be/ajXBF5UOM4g

    1. BTW, before I forget again, Remy put out a new vid this week: https://youtu.be/3Wc50kdHjTI

      1. Count Potato

        He’s the only thing I miss from TOS.

        1. 2Chili, Stossel, sometimes the Napolitano, sometimes Shackford.

        2. westernsloper

          I still got ten bucks he was/is (?) FOE.

          1. Nah, we think we figured his trick out….but it would be bad form to spill it.

          2. Count Potato

            That doesn’t mean FOE didn’t work there.

  8. Rebel Scum

    Why, yes, I do believe I ‘would’.

    A new magazine, Expressions, founded by a college student and geared toward conservative women, debuted earlier this year with the intention of “reclaiming feminism.”

    The president of the magazine, Lexi Williams, is a 21-year-old student at the University of Colorado Denver who had a dream to help conservative women redefine feminism, leading her to establish the magazine.

    “We wanted to do something different,” Williams said in an interview with The Daily Wire. “We got inspiration from Cosmo because we liked that they were a brand magazine — it’s more than a magazine, it’s a huge brand.”

    “Feminism has really ostracized conservatives,” Williams said. “We don’t even want to be involved anymore. It’s so sad.”

    Williams describes the modern feminist movement as the “anti-Trump movement” or the “right to kill your child movement,” and hopes to reclaim feminism.

    “I started Expressions because we are tired of not being included in that conservation,” Williams states. “We don’t believe in the wage gap. We want to be seen as strong women, but we don’t want to bag on traditional gender roles. I don’t know how [feminism] got so off the beaten path. We need to empower other women — all women — not just women who voted for Hillary or Bernie.”

    Conservative women are alright. But I wish there was such a thing as a libertarian woman.

    1. Sorry, sloopy got her (Banjos). Well, I did actually meet RAHeinlein. So, “2”

      I sort of think that Riven exists…. SP is a bit young, so might not yet be in the woman category (*winks at OMWC*). I remain suspicious as to the existence of Tulip, Hayeksplosives, MLW, Elspeth Flash, etc,… so let us just say…”Extremely rare” and leave it at that.

      1. Old Man With Candy

        Forget not Athena, she of the One Truth. And Web Dom. And Mojeaux. The latter two whom I can personally vouch for.

        1. Well, Web Dom is staff too…so, OK, allowed (since I have met her too)…Athena, I have not seen around for a while. I will take your word for Mojeaux…for now. *squints suspiciously*

          1. one true athena

            Hey I’m around! I’m just getting to posts super late so I don’t bother saying anything.

            But since I haven’t met any Glibs in person, I realize I have no one to vouch for my existence.

      2. RAHeinlein

        And the newly perimenopausal KK!

      3. MikeS

        I can confirm that Hayeksplosives is indeed a woman.

      4. Gustave Lytton

        Re MLW: handle checks out

  9. Tres Cool

    Are pineapples even grown in Brazil? Not to pick apart her story, but…..

    “She stated that her day on a plate usually consists of “mono meals, made up of a single fruit, such as two entire pineapples…”

    And: “The electricity I use is 100 percent free and generated by six solar panels harnessing the sun’s rays.”

    I guess she doesn’t understand how PV panels are made.

    /pedant off

    1. Not Adahn

      I guess she doesn’t understand how PV panels are made.

      They come from the Elon Musk Fairy?

      1. GAH?! Not looking for that!!!

    2. Hyperion

      “Are pineapples even grown in Brazil?”

      Yes. – 2,694,555 Tonnes. 2nd on the planet.

        1. Funny, I didn’t see any pineapple groves when I was just in the Netherlands….and they have been bailing out on the last little islands they used to own (i.e. Sint Maarten). Wonder how they came up with that?

        2. Hyperion

          USA? Pineapples? I think your source talks like a fag and their shit is all retarded.

          1. Tres Cool

            Its like you dont even Hawaii, brah

          2. Hyperion

            Brazil is like 10 million times bigger than Hawaii. Sorry, bro, but you source is wrong.

            Pineapples

          3. Suthenboy

            “The pineapple is the second fruit harvest of importance after bananas, ”

            I would have guessed tomatoes as #1

          4. Tres Cool

            I added the mandatory FWIW.
            Im not gonna turn BananaGirl and her diet into a term paper.

          5. Hyperion

            For some reason, tomatoes are super expensive in Brazil. One of my dreams is to grow tomatoes in Brazil. Bananas, Sugarcane, and Pineapples grow in ditches beside the road all over Brazil, no kidding, they are like weeds there.

          6. Tres Cool

            I saw “top5ofanything” and chose to not cite to due to this gem:

            “This top 5 list may include official, semi-official or estimated data gathered on pineapple production by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. ”

            Its like Slate for pineapple.

            Im not saying you’re incorrect, however.

          7. Hyperion

            Dude, give it up. Ohio is not a top pineapple producer, that’s buckeyes you are thinking about.

            nope

          8. Tres Cool

            Having never been to Brazil, I wont argue that they grow like weeds in ditches. I only took issue with the citation provided, and their own disclaimer.

            And the buckeyes are out…little spiky bastards all over 1 patch of my yard.

  10. Suthenboy

    Banana girl is a little to light skinned to have spent most of her time naked in tropical sun. Also, sitting naked in a stream like that is begging to have something swim up your ass. I am calling bullshit.

    1. Florida Man

      That catfish that goes up your pee hole come to mind.

      1. Rebel Scum

        I’ve heard of that but I didn’t know it was a type of catfish.

        1. Stinky Wizzleteats

          *involuntarily winces*
          I had forgotten about that horror.

          1. Rebel Scum

            Unless I misread or am remembering incorrectly, it can swim up *your* stream that you are discharging into a stream. Aussieland is bad. The Amazon is worse.

          2. Rhywun

            I… *ugh*.

      2. straffinrun

        We know what happens when you put a banana in the tailpipe.

        1. MikeS

          Apparently you end up in Suthen’s google searches

      3. Suthenboy

        Yes they do.

        *shivers*

    2. Tacit Rainbow

      Yep. Clearly bullshit.

    3. nw

      If the forest is any good, not a whole lot of light makes it to the ground.

      1. Tacit Rainbow

        I don’t see the bites on that models skin. The bites you’d see after ten minutes naked in those locations. Maybe she’s a new breed, a perfect creature that generates insect repellent.

        Or, maybe its bullshit.

        1. Chipwooder

          Yeah, I’ve seen “Naked and Afraid”. I’ve seen how ridiculously covered in bites those people get.

          1. cyto

            That’s exactly what I was thinking.

            Seeing how completely carpeted in insect bites they are after 24 hours leads me to believe I’d tap out almost immediately.

            I’m tough enough to battle the elements and a random jaguar…. but cover me in biting insects and Imma have to leave.

            And unless she’s raiding a nearby plantation, she isn’t growing any of those fruits for herself. Bananas take 2 years to fruit, so does a pineapple (at least they do when planted in my yard).

            In fact, I can’t figure out how pineapples are so cheap. You get one fruit every other year from a plant, if all goes well. And somehow they get it to me in the US for $3 retail. That makes no sense.

    4. CPRM

      Not sure what kind of camera she is using, but those don’t look like video stills like she claims. But I don’t give a shit.

    Loser in Mali election files appeal to overturn results

    Pepsi had a contest here where you’d look under the bottle cap to see if you won a prize. Instead of using “hazure” (You lost), someone at Pepsi not too fluent in English came up with “You are a loser”.

    1. Tres Cool

      They shoulda hired Franken’s team to sort it out.

      1. straffinrun

        +1 Elephant trunk.

          1. straffinrun

            Damn you. Killing my morning. Just letting YouTube go with Mitch links.

    2. Tacit Rainbow

      Was it “you are a loser” in Japanese, or was it literally “You Are A Loser” in English, so the person would have to google it and then think “Christ, what a bunch of assholes”?

      1. straffinrun

        In English. You are a loser. I accepted their judgement of me.

      2. Sensei

        Our straffinrun here is doing a little smoothing to get things to work properly in English. The loser we think of in English is “haisha”. In this case the “hazure” is more like “miss” as in you missed your chance to win.

        1. straffinrun

          It actually said in English, “You are a loser.”

          1. Sensei

            Got it!

        2. Tacit Rainbow

          That would be a polite way of saying it. In Americanese: “Sorry! Please try again!”

        3. …and it was your only chance. So there is only one, honorable way out.

          1. Sensei

            Or the best / worst mini-series of all time!

          2. Spudalicious

            Loved the book.

          3. Sensei

            As did I! I remember watching the series with my parents as it was “the thing to do” during that time.

            However, if you’d like to have the book nicely wrecked…

            http://www.columbia.edu/~hds2/learning/Learning_from_shogun_txt.pdf

          4. Spudalicious

            Nope. Not reading that. I refuse to fuck up a childhoood memory.

          5. Rhywun

            I loved that when I was little. You know, back when shit like that was an actual Event.

          6. Sensei

            I also remember watching Poldark with the parents.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poldark_(1975_TV_series)

          7. Rhywun

            Never heard of it. Oh… PBS.

          8. RAHeinlein

            Shogun on VHS was my husband’s gift to me for our first anniversary.

    3. Sensei

      I had no idea hazure used the same kanji as “outside”.

      I’ll tell you when the Japanese decided to use Chinese to write things down they seriously twisted the shit out of it…

      1. straffinrun

        的はすれ。Outside the target. Guess that works.

        1. straffinrun

          はずれ。I got bad eyes.

          1. Sensei

            外れ is the one in my dictionary. You know the drill, first time you look up the kanji for word you have to figure out the usage. For example, 測る and 量る – both “hakaru” one is to measure the other to weigh.

  12. straffinrun

    Since I missed out on Baked Penguin’s YouTuber post (eerily similar to my list), I thought I’d pop a couple more channels out there that were missed.
    1791 A conservative that does more than a superficial analysis of topical issues. Smart and measured. Once a week.
    The Asian Capitalists Two Chinese Canadians discussing topical issues through the lens of second generation Chinese people that hate commies.

    1. BakedPenguin

      Sorry. Missed it. Or, possibly, I was very, very drunk and did read it, and forgot. If you’d like to show me (and/or the commentariat) the parallels, (again, either privately or in public), please do. I’m not looking to steal credit for anything. I’ll be happy to say someone else got there first. And if you’re just pissing up a tree you don’t think should be parched, あなた自身のファック!

    2. BakedPenguin

      Also, if you don’t really give a shit, I’m not looking to start a fight. My apologies if that came off as aggressive. Your insights into Japan are insightful, and very worth reading.

      1. straffinrun

        Your list was great and had a lot overlap with what I watch. I’m just adding 1791l and The Asian Capitalists as supplementary material. Givem a try.

        1. straffinrun

          Fuck. Sorry, just put those in YouTube search and you’ll find them easily.

  13. Spudalicious

    You know who else is a Banana Girl?

    1. Suthenboy

      I searched for banana girl and clicked on images and got about a hundred photos of girls poking bananas up their bum. apparently there are a lot of them.

      1. Spudalicious

        That sounds…uncomfortable.

        1. Suthenboy

          It certainly doesnt make me want to eat a banana

    2. Tres Cool

      Carmen Miranda ?

      1. Spudalicious

        *golf clap*

    3. Old Man With Candy

      Mrs. Georges Du Boeuf?

      1. Spudalicious

        Wine nerd.

        1. Old Man With Candy

          Yet you got it.

          Huh.

    4. straffinrun

      That reminds me of a bachelor party I went to.

      1. RAHeinlein

        Aren’t you on a camping trip? My husband wants to know if you were impacted by unseasonal snow (yes, he is one of those “how is the weather” types.

        1. straffinrun

          I’m back now. We were near Yatsugatake which is actually in Yamanashi, but near Nagano. Just heavy bursts of rain. I don’t remember even the mountain tops having snow.

        2. I like the new avatar.

          1. Tres Cool

            It served to remind me that I likely shrunk my new UD basketball t-shirt.

          2. Actually, I was thinking of RAH’s new avatar 🙂

          3. RAHeinlein

            I didn’t change – I think SP unfriended me.

          4. SP

            In a WordPress update today, we lost those computer generated avatars. I have two choices now, this one is the current choice. But I can change to the other (blank) one if you like. The original might be returned, one never knows! *sigh*

      Caitlyn?

      1. Spudalicious

        ROFL!

        1. straffinrun

          It was low hanging fruit.

          1. Rhywun

            Gravity blows.

          2. MikeS

            So does Winston’s mom.

          3. Gustave Lytton

            I don’t think the fruit was even hanging on that one. More like just waiting on the ground.

          4. Spudalicious

            Cretin. Gravity sucks. Newton’s Law was debunked in 1903.

            Besides, “blow” was just an expression.

    6. MikeS

      Jada Tan Rufo?

  14. Nephilium

    If any of the Central Ohio people are up for it, I’ll be in Canal Winchester next weekend. Saturday I’ll be busy drinking all day, and hanging out at BrewDog, but Friday and Sunday morning are both free.

    1. Tres Cool

      Id love to swing over that way from my little corner down here, but next weekend wont work due to current obligations.

      What’s with the Eagles hatred? Back in the Harold Charmichael, Jaws days, they were my second favorite team.

      1. Spudalicious

        Fuck the Eagles with a rusty chainsaw.

        1. straffinrun

          OK. But, WHY?

          1. Tundra

            Last year’s NFC championship game?

          2. Chipwooder

            Because, that’s why. Christ, since when has anyone had to justify hating the Eagles? They’ve always been one of the most widely hated teams.

          3. CPRM

            Hated the fans, never really hated the team. Hated how people acted like McNab was actually a good pocket passer, and were flabergasted when his career ended when he couldn’t run anymore. (See also: Cullpepper, Dante)

          4. Spudalicious

            Philadelphia?

    2. MikeS

      Carson Wentz will save the day

      1. C. Anacreon

    My wife has decided to throw a party for me. Next Saturday, she has invited my brothers and a few of my good friends over. She is taking the kid and going to her mom’s house. This ought to be fun. I haven’t had the house to myself in the better part of a decade. Glibs are welcome. BYOB/M/W/C/etc.

    1. Tres Cool

      She throws a party where she leaves and takes the kids?

      Keep that woman.

        I like her. And yes, that’s my kitchen. And no, there are no shoes on her feet.

        1. Rhywun

          I like the stuffed toy on the floor 🙂

        2. MikeS

          I’m not a big fan of ankle bitters, but that little white guy/gal on the floor is pretty cute.

          1. Lachowsky

            Him and I have a love/hate relationship. He’s certainly annoying, but we have started to come to terms with one another.

        3. Spudalicious

          Why isn’t she fixing dinner?

      2. Rebel Scum

        she leaves and takes the kids

        Times when context matters.

    2. straffinrun

      Happy birthday? Tell me you at least have a room which is off limits to everyone else. I’d go nuts without my dungeon.

      1. Lachowsky

        I have a shop. And a barn. And a porch. Thays good enough for me.

  18. AlmightyJB

    Gangbangers in London wear belts? WTH.

  19. AlmightyJB

    Morals and character clearly aren’t the problem. It’s obviously guns and Trump. Nothing can be off limits. Lol.

      “Critics quickly called him out for what they dubbed tone-deaf comments, in which he seemed to be blaming the victims.“

      He’s blaming people who are victims because they have no morals.

    2. Rhywun

      “We have communities that have not been invested in. We have communities where mental health services have been depleted. We have communities that have suffered as a result of the budget impasse in Springfield. All of these combined, along with the closing of schools, what does one expect?”

      Someone has their finger on the pulse of what’s wrong with urban America.

    1. MikeS

      Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

      I can’t decide if I like the narrator or not. It was annoying (to me) how he kept leaning forward and back in his chair.

      1. Rebel Scum

        I think he’s Canadian, not that it’s necessarily relevant.

        1. Tundra

          He looks like Graham Chapman pretending to be Canadian.

    2. Stinky Wizzleteats

      That’s a great channel if you’re a military history buff.

  20. straffinrun

    Checking out this cutie on the train and this uggo notices I’m checking out the cutie. She gave me a disapproving snort. Not my wife or gf, uggo. FO.

    What is your opinion of the movie Snowden?

    Oliver Stone not only directing, but also writing the screenplay make me a little hesitant to spend 2+ hours watching it.

    1. straffinrun

      I remember it being pretty good. Much fairer treatment than he’d get from other directors. Glad it was made.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        I remember nudity. And Joseph Gordon Levitt.

        1. MikeS

          At the same time?

        2. Rhywun

          *perks up ears*

      2. Chipwooder

        Concur. Thought it was pretty solid.

      3. CPRM

        Joseph Gordon Levitt has been annoying in every role he’s had since Brick.

        1. C. Anacreon

          Not 3rd Rock?

          1. CPRM

            Well, Brick was his first dramatic role after 3rd Rock, and he was good in that. So, reasons.

    1. CPRM

      Full comment quotes here.

    2. Rhywun

      Don’t. Care.

      1. CPRM

        I don’t usually either, just came across it by happenstance. The thing that gets me, in context he was saying she didn’t need to change her body to look better and somehow he’s been forced to apologize because that’s ‘shaming’ (they pretend he was calling her fat) now to say women don’t need to have surgery to look better and that will damage young women.

        1. Rhywun

          OK, that’s an unusual twist. “Don’t get surgery.” “PATRIARCHY!”

          1. Stinky Wizzleteats

            No personal preferences allowed, all people are equally good looking no matter what they get done to themselves.

    3. straffinrun

      BBC. I still meet people who think they are intellectual because that’s their news source.

      1. Stinky Wizzleteats

        I’d let her stab me anytime, anywhere if you know what I’m saying and I think you do.

        Wait a minute, no I wouldn’t.

    Incandescent bulbs-

    I have a fan in my living room that also has a 3 bulb fixture on it. It’s what provides light to my living room. The third bulb burned out today. On my way home from Jr’s football practice this evening, I bought 3 new bulbs.

    They lasted less than 2 hours before all three went out. That’s some bullshit.

    1. CPRM

      I’ve got LED bulbs in most of my lights now.

      1. But Enough About Me

        Me too, but I found out that Philips bulbs are orders of magnitude more reliable than Feits (which is a shame, ’cause Feits have a lot of 3000K choices [like halogens], whereas Philips has far too much 2700K stuff in their lineup). Haven’t had a Philips die on me yet. Most of my Feits died sooner than if they’d been plain incandescents.

        1. CPRM

          I’ve used lots of different brands of LED bulbs and some LED fixtures that are fixed, none have gone out on me yet. I don’t know the ‘Feits’ brand, maybe not available in the USA.

          1. CPRM

            As a film guy I should know a lot more about color temperature and all that, but I have a hard time with it just like I’m tone deaf with audio. I mean, I can see the difference on camera, but now with digital cameras you can adjust after the fact, so I didn’t get so into that as I could have.

          2. MikeS

            I’ve seen Feit pretty much every store that sells LED bulbs. IIRC they are usually a little cheaper than say Phillips or GE

          3. CPRM

            Canada/ North Dakota same thing.

          4. MikeS

            A friend of mine from Colorado always calls us South Canada.

          5. CPRM

            I call Colorado East Utah.

          6. CPRM

            To our readers who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints; I’m not mocking your religion, I’m mocking Colorado.

    2. straffinrun

      That contraption sounds like something you’d see in Sanford and Son.

    3. But Enough About Me

      Yep. Mebbe “rough service” bulbs next time? (Plus take the damn things back.)

  23. Mojeaux

    Catching up on Preacher. Forgot how much I adore this show.

    1. CPRM

      I still watch it, but, meh, not must watch for me. I (at this point in the show) don’t identify much with the characters, so it’s something to kill time, but not must watch for me.

      1. Mojeaux

        I dropped off because it wasn’t must-watch TV for me, either, but right now I’m winding down after a really difficult day. It makes me laugh.

        1. straffinrun

          The only must watch TV for me happened on November 8, 2016.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            Not November 9th?

          2. Mojeaux

            The post-game show is still rolling.

    For those of you trying to fall asleep: Bedtime Stories with the Aquabats-Try Again Sally!

    1. Spudalicious

      Umm, I blame booze for clicking on that. OMWC has a hard and incest. I’m going to bed. I expect unsettled dreams.

  25. CPRM

    Fuck, I have to be to work in again in 9hrs, hopefully I can crash.

  26. I hope OMWC is OK. I don’t see any mourning lynx up yet.
