ZARDOZ’S FRIDAY NIGHT LINKS

ZARDOZ HAS THIS PAINTING HANGING IN HIS LIVING ROOM.

 

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. THE BRUTAL HOLIDAY KNOWN AS “HALLOWEEN” HAS COME AND GONE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ETERNALS OFFERED INSUFFICIENT “TREATS” TO THE YOUNG, DISGUISED…WHAT? OH, “COSTUMED”, BRUTALS WHO BANGED ON THE FORCE SHIELD AND DEMANDED SUCH. APPARENTLY GREEN BREAD DID NOT WORK AS A “TREAT”.

NOT A “TREAT” IN THE EYES OF YOUNG BRUTALS

THE VORTEX WAS ATTACKED BY MANY OVA BEING HURLED AGAINST IT. APPARENTLY THIS “EGGING” IS COMMONPLACE RETALIATION FOR SUCH A CIRCUMSTANCE. WELL, ZARDOZ WILL NOT STAND FOR IT! THE SECURITY CAMERAS OF THE VORTEX WILL IDENTIFY THE OFFENDERS. THEY WILL BE ENSLAVED AND THEIR FAMILIES CLEANSED.

ZARDOZ IS CERTAIN, HOWEVER, THAT THE CHOSEN ONES WILL BACK HIM IN THIS POLICY – THEREFOR, ZARDOZ HAS BROUGHT YOU THE GIFT OF THE LINK! GO FORTH AND COMMENT!

  • THE BRUTAL LEADER THAT BEARS THE HAT AND HAIR IS DOING CLEANSING WRONG! ZARDOZ WAS ASSURED THAT THE ORANGE ONE WAS A BLOODTHIRSTY AND RUTHLESS DICTATOR…UNCONSTRAINED BY LAW OR CUSTOM.
WHYCOME NO CLEANSING?
  • THE BRUTALS HERE KNOW HOW TO CLEANSE!
  • IF THIS DOES NOT INVOLVE ANOTHER FAMINE, ZARDOZ IS NOT INTERESTED.
  • ZARDOZ WILL OFFER THESE BRUTALS ASYLUM….AND JOBS.

    Links!

    First!

    1. Florida Man

      No! You didnt reference a link! It doesn’t count! This isn’t Nam, Spud! There are rules!

      1. Spudalicious

        I referenced ALL of them. Extra special rule follower. Hentai flouncy tits would be appropriate.

    2. Old Man With Candy

      Don’t you even WORK?

      Oh wait, you don’t. California Spongin’.

      1. Spudalicious

        I didn’t work most of the time I was at work. I’m actually saving the taxpayers money because now that I officially don’t work I’m making substantially less money than when I was not working when I was at work.

        It’s like paying me to not grow alfalfa.

        1. Old Man With Candy

          If memory serves, you mostly grew ass-callouses during your working days. So you’re still growing the same stuff.

          1. Spudalicious

            I’m not growing anything. My callouses are well established.

  2. Florida Man

    ZARDOZ WILL OFFER THESE BRUTALS ASYLUM….AND JOBS.

    Eh, they just steal all the guns and pawn them.

    1. Timeloose

      Bloody Pikies

  3. Links? Oh wait it is friday.

    1. straffinrun

      Maybe in your backward stretch of the world.

      1. Timeloose

        Straff,

        I purchased some Nikki Coffey Wiskey. I’m hoping it is as good as Yamasaki. It looks to be more of a refined moonshine grain whiskey instead of a scotch. We shall see.

        1. Mad Scientist

          That stuff is really wonderful. You’ll love it.

          1. straffinrun

            Never tried the Coffey whiskey. Sounds great for sunrise during camping.

          2. Florida Man

            Sunrise? There is no coffee in the whiskey. Coffey is a type of still.

          3. straffinrun

            Suppose I could play my ignorance off as an intentional joke. *Shrugs* At least I learned something.

          4. Florida Man

            Don’t feel bad. I thought the same thing when I saw the bottle in the store and did a quick google hopeful that two of my loves had been merged, but alas it was not to be.

          5. Timeloose

            I’ve traveled pretty far to find it. Straff could confirm.

          6. Mad Scientist

            Certainly way better than coffee.

          7. Florida Man

            Don’t make me choose between coffee and whiskey. I love them both so damn much.

          8. Jarflax

            Brandy is the correct spirit to add kick to coffee.

          9. Timeloose

            I’m sure I will.

        2. Florida Man

          I’m going to say Yamasaki 12 is better than 15 y/o. I guess I like em young.

          1. Timeloose

            Good luck finding either with a reasonable price. They have been drunk into rarity. Market in action. Problem is you can’t rush 12 years of aging.

          2. Florida Man

            I will kill for a taste of the sherry cask Yamasaki. I’ve had the 12/15 and liked them both.

          3. Nephilium

            If you’re willing to travel, you could call this place and see if they have it.

          4. Florida Man

            Impressive, but no Yamasaki on the list. Sie note: I hate when you go to a bar and they have a drink list a mile long they’re so proud of and then the first five things you order, they’re out of.

          5. straffinrun

            Happens to me at Soapland all the time.

          6. I’m Here To Help

            You could try the dessert room at Berns. They have a very long list of whiskey to choose from. You’ll pay the price for it though.

          7. Nephilium

            That place is legit. The one time I was there, they had Pappy available. But there was no chance in hell I’m dropping $100 for a pour of any whisk(e)y.

          8. Florida Man

            no chance in hell I’m dropping $100 for a pour of any whisk(e)y.-

            I might, if it was really rare and expensive and the only chance I’d get to try it.

  4. DEG

    Britain intends to leave the bloc’s single market and customs union, meaning the border between its province of Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland will become an external EU frontier after Brexit.

    When I was in Ireland in September, a couple older Irish folks told me they thought the Brits were shooting themselves in the foot economically, but they understood why Britain wanted to leave and get out from under the EU.

    1. Just the news of Brexit caused an economic boom.

      The only foot-shooting would be via ongoing ties to the EU.

      1. DEG

        The Irish I talked to were skeptical the Brits would be able to make up for the trade they currently do with the rest of the EU.

        1. The EU can’t afford to not trade with the UK, and there’s a whole lot of the rest of the world out there.

    2. Hyperion

      They currently have all the foot shooting covered in 2 words, ‘Teresa’ and ‘May’.

    3. Nephilium

      I think being well clear of the Euro before it collapses will more then make up for any economic hardship leaving the EU will cause.

      1. Hyperion

        Will I be a bad person if I save the pics of Juncker, Merkel, and May hanging from lamp posts?

        1. Nephilium

          I think you’d be a bad person if you didn’t save those pictures.

        2. Stinky Wizzleteats

          Merkel’s going to be gone but it looks May will manage to hang around forever. I feel bad for the Brits.

      2. Jarflax

        I think in the long run Brexit helps the UK economy, but in the final analysis I would be pro Brexit if it were actually going to cause a depression. I am always pro secession. Decentralization is in and of itself good. People (including a lot here) are anti nationalist because they see nationalism as collectivist or as hate fueled. The reality is that nationalism arose in opposition to the imperial mindset. It was a movement of people who wanted to determine their own paths with those who shared a background and world view.

        1. Hyperion

          The EU could have probably been a very good thing if it would have stuck to it’s original purpose of being an economic union. But when you have unelected bureaucrats in Brussels making far reaching laws over all the formerly sovereign nations, along with the in general leftist leaning intent of those laws, that just outweighs the good.

          1. Jarflax

            You can get 100% of the advantages by eliminating tariffs and other import restrictions without actually uniting. Uniting your currency is meaningless if you go to hard money. The smaller the State the less need there is to trample on one groups desires to feed another’s.

          2. Brochettaward

            Unfortunately, the original goal or purpose of the EU was never simply an economic union. That was only a means to an end.

  5. CPRM

    I’ll leave this here on every Zardoz thread.

  7. CPRM

    Huh, saw a video ‘tooted’ (yes that’s what they call it) on liberdon, but can’t figure out how to link to it.

    1. CPRM

      Let’s try this

      1. CPRM

        Nope.

        1. Hyperion

          You have to actually include a link.

          1. CPRM

            All I could find was an imbed code, and it didn’t even show up here as gobbly gook.

          2. Hyperion

            Take out all the stuff but the actual URL hyperlink.

      1. CPRM

        Last attempt. If this doesn’t work, I give up.

        1. Jarflax

          The prior link worked.

        Hey, they’re just like us!

  8. Tundra was right on the previous thread; tits are the one thing that brings us together. Everybody loves them.

    http://archive.is/twYCt

    You either have them or you love them (even gay men).

    1. Tulip

      Meh, I miss manly Monday.

    2. Tundra

      #3 looks happy and healthy.

  10. Raven Nation

    One in a series of occasional updates on Scottish semi-pro soccer. I give you the Fort William Football Club, members of the Scottish Highland Football League:

    Games played: 16
    Won: 0
    Drawn: 1
    Lost: 15
    Goals For: 10
    Goals against: 115 (that’s an average of 7/game)
    Goal difference: -105
    Points: -8 (they’ve actually managed to field ineligible players on 3 occasions).

    On the plus side, their home field has a nice setting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_William_F.C.#/media/File:Clagganpark.jpg

    1. Luther Baldwin

      Ouch.

      I noticed that Serie A’s Chievo is at -1 points and thought “what have they done this time”. Poor bastards.

      1. Jarflax

        wait there is scoring in soccer?

    2. BakedPenguin

      At least they’re losing in nice scenery.

      1. Raven Nation

        And they’re actually having a better season than Selkirk FC, formally of the Lowland Football League: http://slfl.co.uk/selkirk-fc-resign-from-scottish-lowland-league/

        1. juris imprudent

          So, lower than the lowlands.

          1. Raven Nation

            Down in the (different) lowlands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiU97sQ0Qo0

        2. BakedPenguin

          Yeah, that’s gonna hurt.

          As for Ft. William, Division Two will just have to wait for them…

          1. Raven Nation

            Right now there is no relegation from the Highland League.

    3. I’m Here To Help

      Last two years over in Germany we took vacations in Scotland – first year was with the wife and her sister, second year was with my parents. There was a path leading up into the mists in Glencoe that I stood on for about 10 minutes, seriously considering tossing my parents the keys to the car and disappearing into the Highlands. Love that place…

      1. A reverse Brigadoon?

  11. Timeloose

    The long in coming Timeloose HI-Fi series will be starting up again in a few weeks. I’ve got the weather for basement work coming up, so I’ll be refinishing the mahogany lid to the hi fi.

    1. I gotta cut loose,
      Timeloose.

      1. Tres Cool

        Let’s do the timeloose again ?

        1. Timeloose

          Jump to the left?

    1. Hyperion

      Unpossible, there are no racists in Mass, they’re all woke. Racism is only in the south. Surely, you meant Georgia.

      1. Nephilium

        So is that why they call it Southie?

        1. Hyperion

          I don’t know. It just reminded me of a guy I know who is from Massholio and was telling me how racist people in the south are. He went to Georgia and apparently all he saw there was KKK guys and people with white power and Nazi signs. It was terrifying, apparently. But he’s never seen a racist in Boston, ever.

          1. Heroic Mulatto

            Remember the car bombing campaign that occurred when the city of Boston began bussing?

            Pepperidge Farms remembers.

    2. Count Potato

      “According to MassLive, on the night of Feb. 26, 2016, Vigneault left his unmarked police car running outside a pizza restaurant while he went inside to get food. When he came back out, a group of teens had taken his car on a joy ride before they were eventually stopped and apprehended.

      Police dogs then allegedly bit the boys and officers allegedly kicked them in the face while they were handcuffed, according to WaPo. Bigda then went on to interrogate the teens without their parents present and without reading them their Miranda rights, according to the indictment.”

      That’s some fine police work.

      1. straffinrun

        They embarrassed an entitled narcissist. With a badge. Vlad the Impaler would leave a golden cup unguarded in the village square just to prove that no one would be dumb enough to steal from him. Same fucking thing.

    3. straffinrun

      Jeeebus. They act that way in the interrogation when they know they are on camera. Can’t imagine what they do when they know they aren’t.

      1. Hyperion

        When they aren’t, instead of their cameras malfunctioning, their guns malfunction and shoot people.

    4. westernsloper

      At least they made the one asshole retire. That will learn him.

    5. Luther Baldwin

      Vignault was allowed to retire.

      The poor dear.

        Well, it’s only 69 cents.

    2. Timeloose

      They really like thier cock soup down by the Black River.

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        No, it’s black river cock.

        You’ve seen a river cock before, right?

        1. Mad Scientist

          I’ve seen a bab cock, and a shuttle cock, and a horse cock.

          1. CPRM

            But you done never see no elephant cock fly?

          2. Heroic Mulatto
    3. But Enough About Me

      Good God. You’re Top Gear‘s James May!

      1. Jarflax

        Cat’s tongue cookies?

    4. westernsloper

      Not to be confused with White River Cock Soup.

      1. Jarflax

        Smaller packages?

        1. Yeah and it costs $8.95!

    5. Nephilium

      There’s a restaurant in Coventry (a little old hippy area in Cleveland) that used to offer Homos [hummus] as an appetizer. It appears they finally corrected it, but it used to be a running joke for those of us who went there.

      1. Hyperion

        Creme of Sum Yung GAI?

    6. Ah man! are they all out of Mild Cock Soup Mix? I’m not a big fan of the spicy.

      1. Spudalicious

        Not a spicy cock guy, eh?

        1. It’s mild tasteless cock or nothing, that’s just how I roll.

          1. Spudalicious

            You sound like one of my ex-wives.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      14 foot puns in a row from Ben Shapiro is why antisemitism exists.

      1. I wouldn’t touch those 14 foot puns with a 10 foot pole.

        1. You sure nailed that pun.

      2. Spudalicious

        You guys better start toeing the line before Swiss steps up and puts his foot down.

        1. juris imprudent

          We all know the drill.

          1. juris imprudent

            Oh, shit, Gilmore’d.

        2. Grumbletarian

          Instead of a narrowed gaze, this time he would stare archly.

  14. Count Potato
    1. Heroic Mulatto

      Should this woman be driven from her life for… being too enthusiastic about parking enforcement? You guys are dicks.

      Actually, Mr. Singal, I’d say the petty tyrant who gets off on playing Fearless Fosdick, Meter Maid is a dick.

      1. She may be a dick, but that doesn’t make her a racist.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          Which is the moral of the story, to tell the truth.

          1. Will the real Heroic Mulatto please stand up?

          2. Tres Cool

            …please stand up

      2. Luther Baldwin

        Right? She should have just keyed the car instead.

      3. Brochettaward

        They aren’t attacking her because she’s a petty tyrant losing her shit about some minor infraction, though. Most of these people agree with her on these things. They’re attacking her for being racist when she apparently had no clue as to what race the people involved were.

        The lesson? You can be a petty informer in the name of enforcing of the rulez and regulations all you want, but confirm the race of those you are fucking with first.

        1. Jarflax

          which is of course the very definition of racism

        2. Hyperion

          There may be no bigger cunt that a meter maid cunt. I was at a restaurant in Annapolis a few years back, sitting outside on a nice day with wifey and all the sudden there’s all this commotion with people yelling at each other. Apparently, there was this mad meter maid who got pissed off at the restaurant owners next door and went on a hysterical vendetta against them. She would come around at least twice a week and put tickets on all the customers and the owners and employees vehicles, regardless of whether they were legally parked or not. So there’s angry customers, the owners, and meter maid cunt out there all yelling at each other. I guess she was in the right though, since she was generating revenue for the city government.

          1. Raven Nation

            “There may be no bigger cunt that a meter maid cunt.”

            Australia gets it right: https://metermaids.com/

          2. Gustave Lytton

            Not all, thankfully. I forgot to put money in the meter in Boise. I ran out of the store and around corner only to see a meter maid with her tablet out. I apologized profusely and not only did she not write a ticket, she also nicely reminded me that I should push the start button first for the complimentary minutes before adding coins.

        3. Festus

          Situational “kid gloves”. Know your battle and fer fuck’s sake know who the enemy is.

        4. Most of these people agree with her on these things. They’re attacking her for being racist when she apparently had no clue as to what race the people involved were.

          It depends on who’s violating the law. I posted a link over the summer about a city councillor who posted a photo of a van double-parked outside a convenience store and how that’s not safe. The only problem was the van was an ambulance, so everybody shrieked that our hero first responders are above criticism.

        5. Heroic Mulatto

          Most of these people agree with her on these things.

          Infuriating, isn’t it?

    2. BakedPenguin

      “Hey, fellow Progressivist, I heard that woman is a racist.”
      “Which one?”
      “That one there

      1. Festus

        That one over there! Put her up against the Wall!

  15. Brochettaward

    I don’t typically make a point to carry discussions or arguments over between comment pages, but I have a hard time taking an argument that the Kavanaugh accuser who has admitted to having lied did no harm to anyone in good faith.

    Specifically, I’m responding to The Hyperbole.

    If Crime novels and TV cop shows have taught me anything it’s that every time there is a high profile case people come out of the woodwork with false confessions, accusations, and eyewitness accounts, We could lock ’em all up I guess, and it may have a minuscule deterrent effect but people aren’t smart and there will always be attention seekers, and nut’s who believe the “Most important thing ever” spiel. “Throwing the Book” at these people would be Sisyphean, it might assuage your ‘get the other side’ anger but it won’t achieve much else.

    What harm?

    You want to argue the proper punishment, criminal or civil or whatever, that’s one thing. But this woman used the national media to falsely accuse a man of gang rape. She lied to Congress about it.

    1. CPRM

      This wasn’t the gang rape woman.

      1. Brochettaward

        It’s my understanding that this is the one who took credit for writing a letter to Harris accusing Kavanaugh AND a friend of raping her in the backseat of a car.

        I’m not sure what the agreed upon definition of a gang rape is. So, maybe we can call this an accusation of MMF rape. I don’t know. It’s kind of besides the point.

        1. CPRM

          That’s just double penetration. Since when did I have to become the porn expert around here?

          1. Festus

            You sub in when HM sleeps. This is known.

    2. Jarflax

      I’m with you here. Destroying someone’s reputation is right behind murder and way ahead of simple assault in terms of harm.

    3. Hyperion

      Well, she wasn’t going any harm against people. Those were Rethuglicans, not real people, so totes OK.

    4. Perhaps I’m mistaken, was this woman one of the ones trotted out? I only remember “the groped one’ “the dick in-the-face one”, and “the gang-raped one”. The “car rape one” went right under my radar so I assumed she was just one of the reported thousands of nut job accusers that came in after “the groped one. I pushed the point because I’m not comfortable claiming that some obvious BS accusation is actual harm. Next claiming a special spot in hell or suggesting the proper way to feed people into a woodchipper will be considered an actual threat.

      1. Florida Man

        I’m with you on the “claim so ridiculous no one would believe it” angle. If CBF was proved to be knowingly lying, she should get a big smack down.

      2. Jarflax

        I see a difference between a comment on a webpage and an accusation sent into a committee vetting someone for a job.

        1. Any idiot can do either. I gotta believe that committee got hundreds of BS claims, maybe you guys are right and we should bring the hammer down on all of them no matter the ridiculousness of the charge. it’s the letter of the law after all. I see it in the same vein as why we don’t arrest everyone who gets caught going 4 miles an hour over the speed limit. choosing one’s battles in a sense.

          1. Jarflax

            any idiot can shoot someone in the face. what the fuck does it matter that any idiot can do something? Reporting a false allegation to the authorities is to making a smartass comment on the internet as raping someone is to jacking off.

      3. CPRM

        According to the summary from the Senate, the ‘car rape one’ actually came before the other ones were made public, and then this woman claimed to be ‘the car raped one’ when she wasn’t and had never met the man. So it appears she lied about being the woman who claimed to have been raped before Christine Ford’s accusation was even released.

        1. Tres Cool

          And like I pointed out- I think she was a stooge for the ‘opposition’ and once they were done, they cut her loose. Now that the heat may be on, she’s being wrapped in a blanket of ‘mentally unstable’. I mean….she had ‘lawyers’ backing her story up.
          So mens rea certainly seems apparent.

        I’m not comfortable claiming that some obvious BS accusation is actual harm.

        I’m not comfortable with a society that accepts that some obvious BS accusation under the ludicrous logic of “believe all woman.” This obvious BS accusation was leveled via a letter to a US Senator who was only too willing to publicize it. This is a woman who took credit for the letter then proceeded to lie to Congress about a man to ruin his reputation. And the lie in question, a willful and intentional lie by a left wing activist, was about one of the most serious of crimes you can be accused of.

        To be more blunt, you can call it obvious all you want. It apparently wasn’t so obvious to the senator who publicized it, to the media that dutifully reported on it (don’t you frequently condescend to those who see left wing bias in the media?), or the senators who investigated it. And there are large swathes of the country that refuse to believe that any woman making an accusation, no matter how absurd or without evidence, is lying.

        I don’t see any comparison, even a slippery slope one, where some repercussions for this woman, would at any stage lead to satirical statements or expressions of opinion about what ought to happen to a person would be suddenly be considered actual threats. You just tried to stretch this into some sort of argument on free speech. Not even the biggest free speech advocate I’m aware of would make the leap you are.

          I’m starting to think The Hyperbole is just trolling us. There is a meta contrarian thing going on. Contrarian to the website of contrarians. Or I could just be drunk.

        2. Wait, are we talking about the Blasey Ford Whatever woman? I thought this was about some rando accuser I and most everyone else had never heard of. I think we may be talking past each other at this point.

          1. Brochettaward

            According to the referral, the woman, Judy Munro-Leighton, contacted the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding a letter presented by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) from “Jane Doe” of Oceanside, California, who claimed that Kavanaugh had raped her “several times.” As Breitbart News reported last month:

            According to committee transcripts released Sunday, the accuser, who signed the mysterious letter as “Jane Doe,” alleges Kavanaugh and a friend raped her “several times” after giving her a lift home from a party — making no attempt to claim a time or place for the lurid story.

            The accuser claims Kavanaugh groped her, slapped her, and force her to perform sexual acts. “They forced me to go into the backseat and took 2 turns raping me several times each. They dropped me off 3 two blocks from my home,” the accuser wrote, claiming the pair told her, “No one will believe if you tell. Be a good girl.”

            The letter, marked with the word “urgent,” did not include a return address, nor did it offer clues regarding the accuser’s background. “A group of white men, powerful senators who won’t believe me, will come after me” if I reveal the incident, the accuser wrote, prompting observers to speculate the sender could be a minority.

            Munro-Leighton contacted the committee via e-mail, claiming that she was “Jane Doe” and that Kavanaugh had raped her. However, she later admitted that she was not “Jane Doe” and had never met Kavanaugh.

      2. I’m Here To Help

        You are lucky. After my knee surgery they had me on two Tramadol every 8 hours and two Norco every 6 hours. All it did for me was back up my digestive tract…

        1. westernsloper

          They have me on 1 Tramadol every 6 hours, a second one if I need it. Also have a bottle of Oxy for “break through” pain but havn’t got into that. I was a bit plugged the day after surgery butt working good now. The beer helps and I am back to the normal morning routine

          1. Hyperion

            Oxy makes me projectile vomit. It’s like drinking a quart of Southern Comfort x10.

          2. Akira

            I think I’m similarly intolerant to painkillers… I had some Valium after getting my wisdom teeth out, and being a shithead that I was at age 17, I took several of them in an attempt to get a buzz. Vomiting all night.

          3. CPRM

            Um…Valium is a sedative, not a painkiller.

          4. westernsloper

            When I broke my ribs, they gave me Percoset. Which I learned was Oxy and Tylenol. I drank way too much on that shit then. I think I did a number on my liver but never puked. This Tramodol is way better. One beer feels like four. I am on soda water now.

          5. I’m Here To Help

            I basically don’t take any pain meds as they just don’t do anything to me – I could be popping Pez for all the relief it gave. So I had a knee replacement without any effective pain medication. I don’t recommend it.

            Really sad that I have the same reaction, or lack thereof, to alcohol. I drank a fifth of vodka in about 3 hours when I was on my R&R trip from Afghanistan. I didn’t even get tipsy.

          2. Hyperion

            Sounds muscle relaxer like. Or maybe a mix of that and something like a benzo.

          3. Stinky Wizzleteats

            It’s good stuff but don’t mix it with alcohol unless you want to go to not wake up (ever).

        Nummy, it’s the season for that kind of brew, for sure.

        1. Nephilium

          I brewed this one about a year and a half ago, and it clocks in at about 10.5% ABV. It’s held up quite well, but it’s not something I want to be serving guests on Thanksgiving. While I like my family, I don’t want any of them passing out in my house.

  20. Hyperion

    Speaking of liquor, my wife brought back a bottle of liquor named ‘Ginja de Obidos’ from Portugal last weekend. When she talks about it, it sounds like ‘gene gene’. It’s dark colored, about the color of sloe gin. I took a drink, but really I can’t think of how to describe it, I found it pleasant.

    Anyone know what that is?

    1. CPRM

      Rat poison? You have a prenup?

      1. Hyperion

        She was drinking it also, before me, so I guess I’m safe.

      Sour cherry liqueur from Obidos?

      1. Hyperion

        Hmm, never had it before. Sitting on the shelf here, might have a another shot.

        “a portuguese liqueur made by infusing ginja berries, (sour cherry) (Prunus cerasus austera, the Morello cherry) in alcohol (aguardente is used) and adding sugar together with other ingredients”

          1. Jarflax

            Port, Sherry, Madeira, and Marsala are for cooking.

          2. AlmightyJB

            I’m not sure I’ve had Port. I don’t really care all that much for wine.

          5. Hyperion

            I don’t like wine either. My daughter-in-law gifted me a bottle of high end port when she lived in Portugal once. It was too sweet, but it was strong, gave me one hell of a buzz.

            I love rye and bourbon. Just don’t drink it too often. Mostly beer for me. My wife finds all of these interesting liquors, which are mostly in the 15-20% alcohol range. If it’s not at least 80% and drinkable neat or on rocks, I’m not too interested.

            No idea, but given some of the stuff I’ve watched it’s entirely possible!

            Until Netflix started doing lots of Japanese drama it was difficult to find non-anime stuff with normal conversations for practice.

            So if a random Japanese drama was bootlegged somewhere I watched it.

          4. Jarflax

            and when you learn from the anime stuff you end up asking preteens to suck your tentacles and it gets all embarrassing.

Of course then I’d end up with the hoi-polloi spitting and dumping coffee cups in the garbage and pissing on the toilet seats. The higher-ups would complain about the mess to my bosses.

He fancies himself a singer but he’s just a bellower, much like Springsteen and damn near the laziest man that I’ve ever met. “I’d walk away but pension, Ya know?” That shit drives me nut-bars…

      2. Hyperion

        One of my fav things Trump does is to toy with Democrats and get them all excited. Like when he told DiFi he was going to work with her on gun control. Never seen her so excited, like a little kid. I thought her depends were going to start leaking on stage. Then she turns around and he sticks a kick me sign on her back. It’s like watching Lucy pull the football away at the last minute, over and over again.

        1. Trigger Hippie

          Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a bit of schadenfreude as much as the next guy(and I still think the Christe being sent off to fetch some McDonalds story, if true, is still his finest example of that behavior. Beautifully done, actually) but eventually you have to shake your head in wonder at the vitriol aimed at a progressive’s shadow monster du juor. Especially when that du juor has been on the plate for over two years. How anyone can keep that up for that long is a marvel. I mean Jesus, I get exhausted just reading those responses, much less experience the emotional rollercoaster some people go through on a nearly daily basis that inspires them to comment on such things.

          1. Hyperion

            Trump is magic. All you have to do is mention his name to send progs into hysteria.

        1. Just Say’n

          I think it stands for “warlord”, which admittedly is a pretty badass middle name and fitting

On the condition that you don’t chop-top the roof like one of those beaners, don’t paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly, and don’t put a big, gay spoiler on the rear end like you see on all the other zipperheads’ cars. It just looks like hell. If you can refrain from doing any of that… it’s yours.

      That’s right lady, you cry those crocodile tears all the way to a multi-million dollar settlement for what was essentially a glorified pillow fight.

      1. Trigger Hippie

        Heh. I had an older sister and brother and also spent a goodly chunk of my childhood in a small town so all the elementary classes K-6 got sent out to recess at roughly the same time. Add in an enthusiasm for corporal punishment at home, and I can honestly say that I took a far worse pounding on a semi-daily basis for years. That being said, don’t be an idiot and allow the kids who have been placed in your trust to beat the shit out of each other. We live in the information age. How da fuk did ya think this would play out?

    4. Lachowsky

      Aw hell. I have 4 brothers. I was raised in a fight club, so to speak.

      1. Festus

        Yep. Brother that bullied me unmercifully for fourteen years and then I finally bested him. These weren’t dog-wrassling bouts. I actually had to beat him, blood and all. He’s never forgiven me. We don’t talk no more.

        1. Luther Baldwin

          Yikes. I have 3 older brothers and the worst I got was tickle-torture. Which was horrible now that I think about it.

          1. Festus

            So “tickle-torture” makes a young boy Gay? Good to know!

        2. straffinrun

          I never bullied my younger brother, but my older brother and I fought daily for years. “I’m gonna kick your ass when you’re 80 and I’m only 76!” I truly plan on keeping that promise.

          1. Lachowsky

            I have older brother, older brother, older sister, me, and twin younger brothers.

            Everyday there was a reason to fight, and I lost most of the fights. The older siblings had a height/weight advantage and the twins had a 2 on 1 advantage.

            I had to go to school to win fights.

          2. straffinrun

            Getting hit in the face isn’t that big of a deal. Listening to kids today a their micro aggressions and I want to punch them just so they get the fuck over themselves.

          3. CPRM

            Hell, in my youth my little brother literally bit a chunk of my skin off, like there was hole that I put some toilet paper over. We laugh about that now.

          4. Lachowsky

            Anyone bitching about microaggressions has never experienced violence and has no idea what they are talking about.

          5. straffinrun

            That’s a bit over the line. You fight and you learn where the boundary lies. Kids who grow up bubble wrapped never learn the limits. When they get into an actual fight, they’ll take it as a life and death struggle.

          6. Heroic Mulatto

            I actually participated in and helped run a bare-knuckle boxing ring during elementary school. When my step-dad heard about what I was doing….he gave me tips on fighting stance.

          7. Nephilium

            My younger sister still has a scar on her nose where I accidentally scratched her in a fight when we were younger. I still remember the time she pulled a knife on my for not getting off the phone.

          8. Hyperion

            “My younger sister still has a scar on her nose where I accidentally scratched her in a fight when we were younger. I still remember the time she pulled a knife on my for not getting off the phone.”

            My oldest sister still probably has a scar on her calf from when I shot her with a pellet gun. I didn’t mean to do it, I was just trying to freak her out by shooting a crate of coke bottles right by her feet. Oops. I got in trouble for that one.

          9. Nephilium

            Me and my sister get along now, and have for several years. The real fun comes with the conversations I’ve had with her daughter (in her early 20’s) and her sons (both 10 or younger).

          10. Hyperion

            “Me and my sister get along now”

            Same here. But it wasn’t so great back then. They still like to laugh about all the shit they would pull on me because I was younger.

          11. Akira

            My brother is 3 years older than me and used to beat the crap out of me when I was little.

            … But now I pump iron like a madman and weigh ~70 pounds more than him.

          12. Festus

            My brother was a small monkey-like creature. He hated the fact that I grew taller and tried his best to suborn my clumsy attempts at woo. “When another piece of pizza doesn’t seem like any fun it’s a Chunky Situation!” This while I’m trying my best as a 16 year-old walking hard-on. I was the handsome one, I suppose.

          13. Hyperion

            I knocked my older brother down once and gave him a black eye because he was being a drunken asshole. He told my dad I attacked him for no reason, lying asshole. I told him to leave my house because he was so drunk. Then he was standing outside my house throwing gravels into my kitchen window. I warned him several times and finally just got tired of it. He never really fucked with me after that.

          14. Festus

            Eccccccchhh, family.

        3. BakedPenguin

          Wow. My brother and I fought all the time when young. We’re friends now. Matter of fact, my sister in law called me up a couple hours ago to make sure I’d come down for his birthday thing. Sorry, Festus.

          1. straffinrun

            We get along fine now. Promise is a promise, however.

          2. Lachowsky

            Sorry indeed. My brothers are my best friends, probably because of all the childhood fighting.

            Over the years that we have been adults, we have all sincerely apologized and made amends for all the fucked up shot we used to do to each other.

          3. Festus

            No apologies. Seething Hatred.

          4. straffinrun

            My sisters are the most manipulative, scheming cunts you’ll ever find. I’m just elated to have an ocean between us. If he’s out of your life, let it go if you can.

          5. BakedPenguin

            I had only one relative (a cousin) to whom I felt close to that way, and the shovel got buried by time, so to speak.

            I still wanted to punch him last time I saw him, but as an adult, thought I should let it go. At the same time, I can’t dismiss someone else’s anger, because I don’t know how it evolved

          6. Akira

            My brother and I would torment each other, but also stick up for each other to the death if there were external aggressors involved.

            I remember when I was about 5 (which would make him 8) some older boys wrecked my snow fort and threw snowballs at me, and my brother got our dad’s USMC Ka-Bar knife out of the garage and ran them off our property.

          7. Hyperion

            I remember back when I was a kid, ‘boys are gonna be boys’ was a real thing. And that meant you were going to fight, a lot. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it’s the world I lived in. And you would get taunted to fight and if you didn’t, well, there was no didn’t or you would be harassed to within an inch of your life every day forever. So you would fight, didn’t need to be a reason other than survival, and if you got your ass kicked, it was still better than being taunted. They might actually leave you alone for a week if you were lucky.

            As far as family goes, I had an older brother, 10 years older, and a younger brother, 10 years younger, so there was no fighting there that ever went on. But my cousins, who the three of them were less than 2 years apart and who shared a single bedroom, holy fuck. I remember once I was staying overnight with them and there was an early morning brawl. Over socks. I just remember hearing ‘Those are my socks, no they aren’t, they’re mine!’ *bam, bam, smack, crash, bam bam boom!*. Room being torn apart. In a couple of minutes here comes my aunt up the stairs ‘You boys stop it! I’m calling your father!’. Uh oh, that means I’m getting out of here instead of watching their dad come home and beat their asses with his belt.

        ‘Member the kids from your High School that were cunts? The kids that weren’t good enough to make varsity? Ole Festus ‘members…

  28. Cucks cuck because they want to achieve the holy trinity by breeding the 3 dominate races of white, black, Asian. Because white guy gives a wife to a black guy, take an Asian wife, Asian guy take a black wife. Those are the 3 main races. Mathematically it’s impossible unless playing with infinite sums and shit. So the only logical step is to commit incest and each member must be in the genetic ratio of 2a:b:c. (a=race1, b=race2, c=race 3) Incest MAY destroy the dominant genetics. Keep repeating. we’re trying to turn 2a into a (still with me?) Eventually through a good breeding program. a 1/3 black, white, Asian can be produced.Example; So get a 2:1:1 ( get a 50% white,25% asian%,25$ black) breed it with a (x, y, white) family member until 2:1:1 becomes 1:1:1.

    Gilgamesh of the Sumerians is said to be 2/3 god. Which means if god/mortal can breed to 2/3. There is a possibility for 1/3. That’s why early civilizations do incest like pharoahs wow. If Gilgamesh returns we will have a 1/3Black/1/3White/1/3Asian to complete the Gilgamesh prophecy in which he swallows the holy child to gain god status. Only Then can he grant us immortality and fight the false gods of the Torah. Yes, they’re cucking for Gilgamesh. Cucks are the sun warriors of the first gods. Holy Trinity baby. Jew god evil.

    1. Hyperion

      Meh, when I achieve all of that, all I get is a guy who’s a good athlete, good at math, and likes beer and pickup trucks. Gods, lol.

      I’m half Asian and there’s a super hot, super thicc half black chick at my work… Can I be on this project?

      1. Hyperion

        It sounds like a project worth taking up on your own. Research needs done.

      2. Nephilium

        So, if I’m a pasty white guy, I need to pick up a black or Asian woman? Do Jewish girls count as white in this situation? What about Hispanics or Puerto Ricans?

        1. Brochettaward

          I think we need a 4th misc. category of race here. We can just lump the rest into the aboriginal category to keep it relatively simple.

          1. Nephilium

            So, how am I supposed to pick up all of these women and keep them happy?

          2. Brochettaward

            Introduce them to the Book of Mormon.

          3. Nephilium

            But what if they don’t like musicals?

          4. Brochettaward

            Every bitch loves musicals.

        2. Hyperion

          Jewish girls are white if I judge by the ones in my hood.

          Myself, I find that the women from the Iberian peninsula, who are also white like most Europeans, totally unbeknownst by progs apparently, who’ve mixed with Amerindian women in central/south American to be a special sort of woman, like the hottest. But that’s just me. Yet, all research must be done, and it can never be finished. The science is NOT settled.

          1. Nephilium

            Wait a second, next you’ll be saying the Irish, Italians, and Eastern Europeans are white. And that’s crazy talk.

            Only all of them I know. I work with an Italian guy and he’s whiter than I am. And my ancestors are from Wales and UK.

    Speaking of immigrants, I think I’ve encountered the absolute dumbest argument on the subject yet.

    Solutions to the present toxic situation in which the poor subsidise the healthcare of the rich – and thereby deplete their own health systems – are twofold: wealthy countries like Britain should build up their own training of doctors and nurses to a level that meets demand. Poorer states, for their part, should improve pay and conditions for their own health professionals to the point that emigration ceases to be such an attractive option.

    Such a change in British government policy is unlikely because the current deeply unfair system is, from its point of view, too good a deal. Jenkins argues that the situation will only change for the better “when rich countries assume some responsibility for reimbursing the country of origin for each foreign-born health worker”. This would give such countries the money to rebuild their healthcare systems.

    Everything about this is horrifying. From the way they talk about people leaving shitholes as if they’re property of the state to describing their decision to work somewhere else for higher pay as the collective poor “subsidizing” Western healthcare. Specifically, the shitty government run healthcare that this cocksucker loves so much. Is it too much to say that I wish the polio had taken him?

    Let some of the far left get a hold of this, and you’ll see them start arguing that really, America should be paying Honduras for their illegal immigrants.

      wealthy countries like Britain should build up their own training of doctors and nurses to a level that meets demand.

      Gosh, if only there were some way that this could be done… If there were just some system that would allow supply to meet the demand…

      I’m drawing a blank here. We better get a team of Government Experts™ to come up with a solution.

      I’ve been a Citizen through no fault of my own and yet I’ve been told that my hernia is a cosmetic procedure. That’s it. That’s all. That’s everything. I won’t see another Doctor until he puts my lights out.

      Makes sense when you put it through the white privilege filter.

      But we’ve already got all the hotel housekeeping and landscaping we need. What are we going to do with them?

      You told the kid “Don’t twist the cat’s tail” and then they go ahead and do it. Feh, I don’t know what to say after that.

      1. Hyperion

        Twist a cat’s tail? Who could do that?

        Trigger warning, extra cute kitty.

        Kittah!

    Fuck the six Nazgul that are allowing this farce to proceed.

    But while the government repeatedly has objected to using the court to set climate policy, it has — in a formal answer to the lawsuit filed in January 2017 — agreed with many of the plaintiffs’ scientific and factual allegations.

    No, the sympathetic bureaucrats in the Obama administration were laying the foundation so they could “lose” the lawsuit and be “forced” to implement their desired policy that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do. Just as they’ve done for the past 20-40 years for environmental policy. It’s their textbook method at this point. Another bullet dodged from a HRClinton presidency.

    1. Hyperion

      These people have no problem at all in using naive and ignorant adults (see caravan for example), so it really comes as no surprise that they have no problem at all using even more naive and ignorant children to achieve their goals. They’d have 5 year olds voting if they could get away with it.

    2. Brochettaward

      The suit alleges constitutional rights violations. It seeks a court order directing the government to stop permitting, authorizing and subsidizing fossil fuel use in order to phase out carbon emissions, and to put in place a national plan that works to stabilize the climate.

      Court order repealing Obamacare returning us to the dark days of 2010? Catastrophic! It just can’t be done.

      Court order that stops the government from “permitting” the use of fossil fuels returning us to the days of the horse and buggy? Common sense.

      1. Hyperion

        Here you go, this guy explains it quite well for those with functional brain cells.

      2. You’re reading that wrong, Brochettaward. It’s “Court order that goes against the proggy ratchet – catastrophe! Court order that furthers proggy agenda – common sense.” The substance of the orders doesn’t matter beyond that.

    Now, this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I’d like to take a minute Just sit right there…

    My wife is being all pro-#metoo, and one of her friends mentioned that only 3% of rape reports are false. Well, naturally I couldn’t let fake news on facebook, so I made my first post in about a month. Just a couple paragraphs where I find a study which likely underestimates the rate:

    “Only 2.1 per cent of reports were designated by police as false.
    The belief that false allegations of rape are rife, is therefore challenged by the evidence.”

    This is a very misleading thing to say. Primarily because police do not typically confirm that a crime report is true or not, unless they seek a conviction. The study itself notes that a large number of cases (~60%) are either withdrawn by the complainant (15%) or resulted in ‘no further action’ by the police. Thus we have a very large ‘unknown’ number of cases which may or may not be true. Even in cases where someone is convicted, they may in fact be innocent, unless you think the justice system is perfect.

    I still think most reports are probably true, but I hate how people seem to twist the data to present a stronger case than really exists. These studies often present the true rate of false reports as only those that are deemed false by police, this is as misleading as saying that only those reports that result in conviction were true. If you can show me an example of a study that doesn’t do this, I will reevaluate, but so far all I have seen confirms this.

    The lady in question then quotes me a story from CNN, which…. references the exact website I am criticizing!

    I didn’t say it was fake news, but damn it was hard not to.
