I sincerely thank all of you for giving me a place to do fun creative things and snark. And Yuge Thanks to those of you who have supported my efforts monetarily. The written word cannot convey how blessed you all make me feel, so here’s a cartoon! – CPRM
Hat and Hair Animated: Happy Anniversary!
About The Author
CPRM
Organic troll farmer.
As the lesser half of the Libertarian Power Couple, I thank you for a thousand laughs.
Will you still be in Madison tomorrow night? I’m heading that way to see a jazz duet and I have an extra ticket. Just wondering if you would be interested.
Shit, I would have loved to, but I’m out tomorrow morning. But I’ll be coming back pretty regularly- we have a key supplier nearby with whom I have a great relationship.
Bummer. Maybe next time.
Excellent work! Love it…its hugely great!
God Bless America, Glibertarians, Hookers, Porn, Guns, and my right to be a dumb ass.

Is that a cigarette emoji?! That is problematic.
More so than the syringe full of blood?

The horse is shooting the guy ejaculating on the pizza woman’s shoe, so you want to add drugs?
You get me.
Wait when did this place get emoticons? Why doesn’t anyone tell me anything?
Look, I know this is not up the level of HM’s Cummies (???????????) but a guy has to start somewhere. ??
Please don’t conjure him up.
I like it.
Nice!
This site has the bestest Shitlords.
And better squirrels, according to some posts on this thread.
That is an excellent
bandscreen name, actually./yeah, I’m still doing that
Happy Anniversary!
Has anyone else noticed that some of the avatars, such as Pat’s and JB’s, now appear smaller?
Keep it up and yours will be smaller too.
Shrunken potato head. Do it.
He’ll barely be a peasant tater tot by the time I’m done.
So, a tater tot?
Hehe. Speaking of which, looks like things got testy on the H&H thread (excellent as always SF). We’re tearing ourselves apart!
Meh. Chat forums are not a place where I feel it necessary to expend a lot of emotion.
Sibling spats.

YOU GUYS SUCK
Hey look guy, we all know it is in you that sucks.

Chestburster vampires?
Wow, I was busy this afternoon and missed the fuss. Please don’t ban or drive UCS away, he plays a joke to death and hates everything, but the Glib stew needs the spice provided by his blandness. And in his defense I’d say he is the target of far more hostile and repetitive humor than he dishes out.
And warnings not to read/told you not to read jokes are a staple of SF stories and HM links.
^What Jarflax said”. I’ve lurked my way through a few Gliberdome treads and it’s almost always a matter of misunderstanding someones intent/tone than someone acting in bad faith. To be honest I am amazed actual trolls haven’t found and bombarded us creating a huge headache for the mods.
Ahem…there was one person threatened with banning. I can only take your silence as an admission that you would support such a measure. You are now my enemy, Jarflax.

1. You got called an asshole, which is a badge of honor here, UCS got piled on a lot,
2. You stir the pot (which is fine, but does mean you sort of ask for people to get mad) UCS just has a schtick, which rubs people from the cantons the wrong way, but which I do not think is meant as hostile so much as it is self mocking.
3. Get in line, Sean is going to try to kill me at dawn, so we can’t fight until afterwards, and if I am dead not at all.
Uffda. I’ve been busy this week and am just as amazed as Straff at the testiness around here.
What gives?
Is it related to the recent Anniversary? Are we having a mid-post crisis or something? Thinking about whether we made the right choice leaving TOS?
Hug it out bitches! I don’t want to see anyone go.
My guess is jus late Winter crankiness. I’ve always thought February was one of the worst months (especially if you can’t ski). Winter drags, Spring is still out of sight, cabin fever sets in.
What? It was an innocent question. I thought there might have been a site bug.
Yes, I’ve noticed.
Innocent joke, too. What the hell is going on around here? We seem to be getting a little….sensitive.
Mom is out of town and all the kids are fighting.

I think I need to post more tits. It’s the glue that holds everything together.
That’s not glue…
Sure, like you could separate the pages later?
Fuck off, Tulpa.
Speaking for myself, I’ve had a headache for the last three days. It’s starting to wear on me. Fortunately, it hasn’t gone past the tipping point, from regular headache to white-out pain.
I have no clue about the avatar size. I was just ribbing you.
Headaches are the worst.
I was just ribbing you.
For his pleasure?
He likes what he likes. I’m not here to judge.
Maybe it is Polar Vortex Shrinkage
Because of the impending GND compromise we are beginning to see a shortage of pixels. If Trump gets re-elected the first thing on his agenda is to bring pixel factories back to the US and continue making America great again, in fact the greatest. Everyone will have pixels, more pixels than was ever thought possible by the previous administration. CPRM will never ever have to worry about running out.
Nobody needs 24 kinds of pixels when children are starving in this country. Why do you hate children?
I imagine it takes quite a lot of time to make these. ?
That was my thought. And collecting audio of POTUS speaking at every opportunity, hoping he says the word you need; then remembering or cataloging somehow every word going back 2 years…lot’s of tedious work for a few minutes of laughter.
Youtube collects it all. I usually start with a current event, find a video where he talks about it, watch it while pausing to record something I think I link to the story I want to tell. Then once I have all the Trump clips I just let the characters talk to him.
You are getting really good at stitching the audio together. Great work.
Thanks, I still hear every cut and it sounds sloppy to me, but I’m usually my harshest critic.
I didn’t even notice the splice. But I’m half deaf from 20 years of marriage.
Howard Stern’s minions used to do audio bits that were hilarious partly because of the obvious cuts.

Yes! Reminds me of my favorite KMFDM song.
Is it the one where they say KMFDM a bunch of times?
A double H&H day, this is a day of days.

I did not know there was a sand fetish.
I volunteer to brush the sand off #3
And as I said last night, everything Trump says except for ‘good night and God bless America.’ was from the STOTU, so this is just a glimpse at how my at how my brain works…
A little disturbing but not anywhere close to AC or SF frightening.
I want to take a moment to say that H&H is one of the finest compendiums ever made. I envision an original H&H SF story and CPRM animated feature made into a fully immersive multimedia experience.
I haven’t been 70, but I can tell you that being 16 sucked.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/twin-peaks-why-you-re-most-happy-at-16-or-70-mjwf6jbvh
Fake news.
70 seems to be about the age people start de-aging. After that they start acting like kids again (the senile ones believing they are). Old people want candy and cookies to watch TV and sleep. (I’m not making a joke, I’ve helped many older relatives, I due the shopping for my oldest aunt and uncle and everytime it’s ‘Oh we need more cookies candy and soda, if you bring it during my show be quiet.)
A lot of old folks suffer depression as both the physical and mental capacities diminish. Things that were easy and simple, like going up stairs become painful. The fact that the family is grown and gone and there are few responsibilities makes some question their self worth. That’s why there are cat ladies and those that seem to have turned their pets into their children. Old people need more than cookies and candy, although a trip to Walmart would challenge my assertions.
I wasn’t trying to say anything mean, like I said I’ve taken care of a lot of elderly relatives. And this is just something I’ve noticed, along with the ones that got dementia, they most always revert to childhood memories, and think they are kids again.
Young people talk about what they’re going to do, old people talk about what they’ve done.
CPRM, I wasn’t upset at all, we have to be able to laugh at ourselves, recognizing that things will never be like they were in the past. The human memory is amazing, I’ll talk to my classmates and those that aren’t in the care center talk and laugh about some of the unimportant things we did in high school. I don’t understand that great file cabinet we have that can pull memories from 60-70 years back but I’m glad we have it.
I always enjoy H & H and appreciate the efforts you put in to keep us entertained. Thanks
Thanks. I was just trying be safe, like they’re saying upthread it seems some people around here are on edge lately.
Are you talking about me?! You wanna go?!?!
??
Never mind.
Depression in old people (or even middle-aged people) seems to be under-acknowledged, at least relative to that in young people, and I think that’s a shame. More pain, more loneliness, more death, less reason to be even infinitesimally optimistic that things could change, and fewer people consider it tragic or notable at all because one’s much closer (ineluctably) to the end.
Fuck that. I get the “grumpy old man” trope, and I don’t begrudge them their frustration.
QFT, Soy.
I’ll take it! *almost there…*
I’ll be 51 in April. If it doesn’t start getting better, I want my money back.
50 in April. Rock bottom, here we come!
What’s not getting better? Turn five-oh this year and am enjoying myself as much as ever.
Within six months of turning 50, everything started hurting.
Holy shit! Are we gonna have an AARP meeting here?
*Very, very close behind you all*
Fuck AARP. They are communists! That is all.
Another organization I won’t join.
The 3 most powerful groups in the US. In terms of lobbying power
The military (Defense)
School teachers (Education, hahaha, I couldn’t get it out without laughing)
Old people (SS, Medicare)
The reason the debt grows and grows
Oh shit, is that at 50? Ugh.
Depends on how much you beat up your body before getting there. If I had known what was coming, I would have taken better care of myself.
Who am I kidding? No I wouldn’t.
Actually, 55 I think…?
It is 50. I have been getting their damn mailings for a year
Not true.
Rats.
Just turned 52 last month. Hope it picks up steam soon.
That’s not what I was expecting from a Q post called “twin peaks”.
I was expecting more David Lynch
This is why Trump’s judicial picks matter.
https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/judge-sides-with-gun-owners-groups-overrules-cincinnatis-ban-on-bump-stocks
That’s a local judge, right (but I get your point)?
So you’re saying said judge can file a national injunction?
Only in Hawaii I think.
Stare at this for 30 seconds without blinking and tell me what you see when you close your eyes.
I deserved that.

No orange man? No job at buzzfeed for you.
Yotsuba…
Either these people are doing it wrong or there’s some really amazing pizza I’m missing out on.
https://www.askmen.com/news/dating/valentine-s-day-study-finds-many-americans-would-choose-pizza-over-sex.html
Pizza can’t accuse you of sexual assault.
Or accuse you of being transphobic based on whether or not you like sausage on the pizza.
What if your partner identifies as a pizza?
She gets eaten.
That should be a SugarFree post.
Depends on who the sex is with.
Better not be any pineapple on that pizza.
Come back to me when the survey involves bacon and ribeyes. Then, I might have to pause and think. Pizza? Fuck off.
Porterhouse> Strip> Filet > Ribeye. Fight me
*slaps Jarflax with one of UCS’s driving gloves*
Pistols at dawn, good sir!
As the challenged party I choose weapons! I choose steakbones. My porterhouse dagger against your ribeye tomahawk!
Um…was pistols somehow unclear?
Was “As the challenged party I choose weapons!” not a clear explanation? Do we have to fight a duel about the rules of our duel?
That seems overly complicated. Would you like to share some of this bourbon instead?
*hands bottle to Jarflax*
Sure!
While you guys are fighting, I’ll eat them all.
You have that exactly backwards.
What are the chances?
It is not possible to rank filet or strip ahead of porterhouse with any logic at all. You may be a hipster and think that ribeyes are superior, but you cannot claim that the strip or filet are superior to the cut that contains both of them!
Uneven cooking due to the bone.
Feature, not a bug.
added flavor due to the bone!
Correctamundo.
Despite that, I will still happily buy some nicely cut porterhouses.
Porterhouse gives you a strip AND a filet. Plus flavor from the bone.
Kids these days.
What a bunch of John Candys.
OK, I’m watching the back-and-forth (uh-huh), and then a “John Candy joke…?
Is that an Old 96er joke, Playa? I’m just caught up in steaks.
That’s sort of recursive since a porterhouse contains strip and fillet.
I’ll be your second. Your list is spot on.
Journalists are Victims
Solution: Don’t be a shitty journalist and the shirt won’t apply to you.
“Hi,
@bloomingdales
. Apologizing “for any offense we may have caused” is not a sincere apology. This is not about journalists’ hurt feelings. This is about damage done to our democracy when your brand joins in perpetuating and celebrating the idea of “fake news.” Please try again.”
Never apologize to these people.
For real, people are still failing to learn this vital lesson of the 21st century.
For the love of all that is holy do not read the comments.
Why?
If I hadn’t read some of them, I would have missed:
.
I don’t care who ya are-that’s awesome.
I’ve said for a long time that Lefties think of science as a very specific group of human beings. They seem to be working towards a similar transformation with journalism. Look at how frequently they have insinuated that criticism of a journalist is tantamount to an attack on the free press.
Hell, I’m a bit surprised that they haven’t pushed for occupational licensing of journalists so that they can drum out any journalist who doesn’t function as an anti-Trump activist. I know, I know, stop giving them ideas…
Was listening to some comedian talk about jokes. Would you rather make the entire room laugh or make 80% of the room pissed off and 20% rolling on the floor? I go for the 1% personally and that 1% is me and my brother.
If I was interested in making all people laugh, why would I be wasting my time making comedy for a bunch of shitlords?
How about the Andy Kaufmann types where 0% of the audience thinks they’re funny?
.0001%. I liked it.
It’s really funny watching the guy who broke the “story” that the Senate investigation has no evidence of collusion dance in circles around the fact that this is a Trump victory:
Never answered is what exactly is it going to take before you morons drop this?
Talk of 100 contacts with Russians and such bullshit numbers make me think of other proggie talking points like 98% of scientists agree…
“….what exactly is it going to take before you morons drop this?”
A: A Democrat in the WH and nothing less
Just because there’s no evidence doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Define “it”.
Depends what the meaning of it it.
That was really good, CPRM. Guffaws and snorts.
I think Tha Hat is my new favorite – he cracks me up.
The thing that confirms my belief that the creation Glibertarians was a good thing is all of the great art that gets produced here.
Thank you to all of the creators.
The fact that it happened right as I was sick of doing photoshop contests over at Cracked because of they were going down the shitter, and that’s where I taught myself photoshop, made it all feel kismet.
Did your photoshops ever do well in those contests?
I won a few and placed last in a few (which was actually second, because it got featured on the main page and they wanted to start and end well) Made a bit of money, enough to buy some christmas presents every year. I placed somewhere in most of the ones I participated in.
I can’t wait to get out of NYC. Nothing like getting into a pissing match with a jackass who won’t get out of the way of everyone getting on the subway. You are generally good for three or four of these arguments a year.
On the plus side I’ll be getting a new Japanese teacher. I’ve met her before and she is cute as a button albeit in the too young for me and could be my daughter age.
I just ignore the jackasses, smug in my certainty that I am a better person. Three or four pissing matches is probably more than I’ve had in 20 years.
Problem was she fully blocked the door and refused to move.
She went off on the guy who came off the train and me who got on.
Essentially she was looking to pick a fight.
In retrospect I’d say one or two including NJTransit.
I rode the Air Train between terminals at JFK. That was enough for me.
Honestly, the crowding on NYC subways seemed no different to me than Tokyo.
I’m sorry. That’s a terrible burden to bear. Your studies will slow and you’ll need extra tutoring sessions.
In consolation, I give you 50 minutes of more or less self loading sardine cans with no blocking:
https://youtu.be/uUoAXpo-CLo
That’s the best commercial I’ve ever seen for the Green New Deal.
But wait, there’s more!
I would love to see NYC try to implement the door-pushers. It would last all of about five minutes before the first homicide and/or sexual assault accusation (real or imagined, could be either).
Bingo!
So what is the guy who sounds like an auctioneer saying over the PA ?
Do I have to push with my hands?
I once got stuck on a ride like that. Taking the skinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Kobe on the Friday before a 3 day weekend turned out to be a nightmare.
They didn’t have pushers, but people were hanging off the rafters. I was stuck in one of the little areas at the very end of the car. Standing there completely wedged in with 20 other people and their bags. Worse was the maniac who worked on the train selling snacks and drinks. She still kept pushing her cart up and down the train.
Every time she came pack people would have to suck in their guts or somehow find a way to let her pass.

He began his political career on the far left and ended it on the far right.
And how exactly did he end up on the far right?
And after spending much time in West Germany, he returned with right-wing, anti-Semitic views.
Oh, ok. Kooky conspiracy theories, railing against war mongering neocons, getting in numerous fights with the Reagan administration must place him on the hard right. And it’s because he picked them up in Germany (the influence of the right wing Natzies).
I was informed by a prog friend of mine that libertarianism is “a far-right ideology.” When I tried to protest she stared past me until I finished and replied. “Doesn’t matter, it’s still far-right.”
Well okay then.
To a prog, “freedom and personal responsibility” is right wing.
That…pretty much sums it up.
I do see it as ‘far right’ (as explained by one of my articles) and everything they claim is far right is just barely to the right of socialism. I guess it’s all in how far you think far is.
Here’s the article, if you want to see my reasoning.
Thx. I was going to ask for link. I missed that one!
meh, it’s the content of an ideology that matters not where you claim it belongs on a made up spectrum. Nazis are assholes regardless of whether you claim they are left wing or right wing. Libertarians want to leave everyone alone, and regardless of whether they view that as a return to the old ways, or progressing to a new future, I say let’s give it a try.
Progs don’t want to leave YOU alone, though. They want you to obey without question because they know what’s best for everyone.
They just hate those damn evil people who are intolerant. Intolerance is evil because it might lead to hating people for some belief or attribute and they just hate people who are intolerant. This proves that they are tolerant, and therefore if they are tolerant not they are intolerant. q.e.d.
Yeah, that’s the part that really gets my Is-Wayne-Brady-gonna-have-to-choke-a-bitch reflex twitching.
I tried to explain the Nolan diagram, ideology vs principle, etc but it fell on deaf ears. Sometimes I think the reason US politics is so hopeless is that the right/left paradigm has gone unchallenged for 50+ years. People simply cannot access politics outside of a linear spectrum.
Well the issue with the Nolan Chart is that it is based on the assumption that Republican fiscal policies are libertarian while Democratic social policies are libertarian. However the Republicans are big spenders and Democrats now love war and hate free-speech.
Sure. It isn’t a perfect model for todays politics but it is sometimes useful for getting people who understand next to nothing about libertarianism (other than we don’t know what A leppo is) to consider the “Y” axis and understanding that libertarians see things in terms of state authority vs freedom rather than R vs L.
That wanting to leave everyone alone bullshit is just a cover to allow you to harm women, minorities, the LGBTQ community, and Muslims.
Don’t tell the left-libertarians. They are mad that libertarianism isn’t considered “far-left” like it supposedly was before FDR. While this is true to some extent it ignores how old socialism and communism actually are, that classical liberalism has been in trouble since the 1870s, that the US has, unlike Europe, never had a “throne and altar” party or how the Republican Party of 1850s-1880s wasn’t actually a libertarian party.
Huh. He actually is dead.
Belated of course, but Happy Anniversary to the Glibs. Y’all are truly an oasis in the desert.
Here’s to more excellent and thicc links, articles, and art.
Happy anniversary! I’m sorry that y’all have been subjected to my rambling screeds for two whole years. This is the only place on the internet that I don’t get annoyed after 3 days and delete my account.
I like your screeds. I don’t always deep dive into them, because I just don’t spend enough time philosophizing (I’ll be damned, spellcheck says that’s an actual word) about things to really get into it. (if that makes sense?) But I still do appreciate the effort.
I’m trying to vary my fare a bit. The next one is a twist on an old fable.
Thank you to whoever suggested “Patriot” on Amazon Prime a while back. I agree that the show is, if not libertarian, at least highly cynical about the efficacy of government. My type of humor. I’ve really been digging it.
Congratulations Glibs. Thanks from pulling me out of the hole I lurk in to occasionally post and contribute.
I’ve met a few of you in person and was not disappointed.
CPRM great work as always. The Hat always reminds me of Master Shake. Was that a happy accident or a source of inspiration?
That was the intention, when I did the first animation tests I used Master Shake and Frylock and they fit really good.
I think I saw and forgot this. Thanks for the response.
Huh, looking at the date of that video, Feb 14 2018, that means I’ve been working on this damn cartoon for a year! What am I doing with my life!?
This just makes me love The Hat even more. I was wondering where that familiar feeling was coming from.
#metoo! I missed that animation test with the AQHF boys. Excellent.
And the Hat’s mouth is based on Daffy Duck’s bill. More so in the older images SF uses than these, that’s why his bill used to be longer.
What happened to Teri Polo? She’s sporting short hair and tatts. It’s…not very attractive.
She got a little too into that role on Freeform where she was a lesbian cop with a bunch of foster kids.
Every time I see the Green New Deal abbreviated as GND, I start looking for where to connect the battery.
Same thought!
Directly to your nut sack, if applicable.
Does not apply!! Remind me not to let you layout my next PCB or Amplifier. The schematics might get a NSFW disclaimer.
Speaking of nut sacks….
Even the cop suckers at PowerLine admit that maybe the cop in AZ who tasered the guy in the nuts might not be a nice guy.
Of course being PL, they condemned Noor as a bad cop but didn’t mention Yanez (they guy who shot Philando Castile). There is also one guy in the comments doing a poor man’s Dunphy and arguing the guy deserved everything because he moved his hands around.
I guess I’m not the only one.
I’m most assuredly NOT a flower-child. In fact, today I saw a lone flower bravely venture forth from the newly unfrozen earth. It was a poignant example of the assertion among many that life always finds a way…so stomped my steel toed boot down upon it and tore its body asunder. It’s still Winter, bitch. Know your place.
In all seriousness, I’m happy to help. Keep churning out the content and we’ll call it a fair trade.
To the Hat and USA Hat everyone that doesn’t want constant war are hippies.
Hippies are defined by hair that passes the collar. The hair is a hippie!

Again, sorry about that, America.
There’s a whole lot of ugliness in that small package.
Maybe that is what is causing all the angst on Glibs?
As the Illnoize bloc is breaking down, the rest of you realize that Minnesoda is in ascendance? Omar. Klobuchar. Everything is coming up 10,000 lakes!
Seems like all parties are fighting a proxy battle over something other than Venezuela. I personally would prefer that the US keeps its dick out of there but that doesn’t imply anything beyond that.
We’re in Venezuela up to our eyeballs. On the plus side, Trump has no interest in our military getting involved. CIA? You betcha.
You think that some of her handlers could have gotten Omar to run through her lines a few times before the hearing, don’t you?
Maybe get to the point where it isn’t painfully obvious that you are reading the notes that were given to you. Make it seem like you are asking your own questions and know what you are talking about.
Is anyone in the press ever going to ask her why she married her brother?
Would this guy fit in here?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Shereshevsky
“Shereshevsky” not even going to look, obvious Russian bot is obvious.
Sounds like the first day of class I had with every professor in college.
Also, (((Solomon)))? Around here?
He’s a shoo-in!
He sounds like the prototype for what would be the AGILE CYBORG.
Why hasn’t he crossed over?
He did for a brief moment and didn’t find this place to have quite the right vibe.
I thought he wasn’t around at all, not even on TOS, anymore.
I’ve only gone into the Reason comments maybe 5 times since this place opened up, so not sure.
The AI experiment ended? (I’m still assuming Agile Cyborg was meant literally and that he/it was a Turing machine)
He got lost in the inner machinations of his mind and the subsequent vortexes and dimensions none of us could ever possibly fathom. That or some other reason (drink here).
I do wish he crossed into this land of milk and honey, I would love to read articles/comments from him and become more enlightened on the evolving human condition.
Happy Anniversary, y’all.
Great job as usual, kid.
Just doing all I can to curry favor to lower the price when I purchase your daughter.

Why is this news?
Does anyone remember any mention at all of Obama using tax dollars to add a golf simulator to the WH? Yet Trump using his own money to upgrade it is news?
>He paid for the new one, including installation, peronally.
Okay, so why is this an issue? NBC go home, sit in the corner, and think long and hard about what you did.
I bet the Obama’s didn’t even pay for that garden Michelle started. You can buy like 100 seeds for a dollar.
*personally…doggone it Peronists, get out of my brain.
Reporter suddenly sitting up in bed at 3:00AM: Wait a second! That article made Trump look good! Fuck!
Maybe it’s supposed to be how Trump blew $50K on something he’s never used.
And…?
He’s a horrible wastrel. Doesn’t he know people are starving on this country? #fightfor15
Damn fine screen name for a Glib.

Speaking of splicing (though not to take away from CPRM’s talent): Koop Island Blues Their orchestrated sound is achieved by slowly putting together thousands of small clips from records until the songs are ready.

God dammit, CPRM, you and SugarFree are making me hope for Four More Classier Biggliest Years.
Luckily I can’t even symbolically contribute to them.
You could always do some “colludiing” if you REALLY wanted to.
That sounds like effort. I don’t think that’s The Way of The Donald.
So am I, cashing in on this is taking longer than I thought.
Colbert could get this piece of crap financed. Keep trying.
Yeah, and his crap is still all that shows up for ‘Trump cartoon’ when I search on youtube. That’s a big youtube fail right there, as the kids say.
Hell, the search brings me some cartoon called ‘CNN Cartoon – Trump Halloween – 10.29.17″ with 30 hits, but doesn’t show Hat and Hair. WTF do metatags do?
Buck up, Buckaroo. You come up second for ‘Trump hat and hair animation’ and animation is to cartoon as graphic novel is to comic book. You are the thinking man’s Trump hat and hair illustrator/expositor.
and ‘animation’ isn’t even one of my meta tags. But Hat and Hair now finally returns the cartoons, used to show me Cat in the Hat videos.
You built in a delay on your money. Your Patreon charges only on the first of the next month after a pledge.
So next month I’ll be a millionaire? Ok.
Everyone loves a swallower.

Wallaby? Wallayou, fuckaroo.
Crikey!
It’s a python, though, that’s what they do. I find the videos of pelicans suddenly gulping down pigeons to be much more shocking because they’re unexpected.
Now, Darth Trump, that’s some good audio editing.
Damn it, people, Stop. Making.Him. AWESOME!
Forget Obama. Trump is truly the First Internet President.
Nice CPRM. Thanks for these.
And now for a Prius that this crowd might appreciate

Kinda weird how the activists don’t protest Black Rifle Coffee considering how many racist shows they advertise on.
They’re not a soft target.
That was great. It’s a perfect commuter car.
How the hell did they get permission and actually acquire that gun?
The company is owned by SOF veterans. There are plenty of rich people that have weapons like that. My guess is they borrowed one.
Thanks for explaining. I know lots of military surplus, including aircraft, get sold but they are usually disarmed. How do former military get to purchase a post 1980 military grade machine gun? And how the hell can they purchase ammo for it?
My guess is they have connections.

Post 86, right? Dealer sample if you’re a Class 3 FFL. I don’t think ammo is generally restricted unless it’s HE or such.
Almost certainly post-86 dealer sample. There were only about 50 registered mini-guns in 7.62X51mm. I’ve never heard of a registered 20mm Vulcan.
ALL of our Vulcans in the 62nd ADA Brigade (I served in the late ’80s – mid ’90s) were manufactured in the 1960s. The only new parts we could get were barrels; we went through those quickly.

Ok. Just makes me think of that ‘find someone’ website people were using as evidence about that mail bomber, and every time you clicked on it the info changed.
They’ll be wrong 95%(?) of the time, but that’s not much worse than most of the media.
I checked one about myself once, and apparently I have kids. I missed the whole sex thing that entails, so Lilith must be the mother.
She was just spotted at a beach house last weekend.
Weekend at Bader’s?
Qtards have to be the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.
calling Q a tard upsets him and LH, where’s a catbutt when you need it!?
Harmless idiots are entertaining.
Huzzah for HM! Anime Catbutts are way better than the Swiss ones.
Did I get cat butted? This place is going downhill I tell ya.
No, HM catbutted himself, with an anime she-cat.
3D chess move we can all get behind.
Q is obsessed with breast cup size, the butt guys need to come up with a measurement. Me, I’m a face guy, I knows it when I sees it, like obscenity.
When she finally kicks it, I fully expect a Vox article explaining that, not only do we not need to replace her until Democrats control the WH and Congress, we should also look at her record and extrapolate how she would vote on any new cases, then give her a vote even though she’s dead.
Once again, great work CPRM.
“Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it work, Bob”
20 year anniversary this year

I know how you feel. I lost a hat I’ve owned for twenty years today *doesn’t understand emotion things*
What this place needs now is some music.

I haven’t liked SNL for 20 years, but Lonely Island was good.
I’ve never seen that before. I feel strangely amused.
Lonely Island was Andy Samberg’s gig before SNL, but what they did while he was SNL was still good.
I mean would anyone but shitlords make this?
Bonus points for the California Angels shirt.
Ahh.. never delved deep enough to discover that. My favorite of their work, which I didn’t realize at the time:
https://youtu.be/-A0iftflme4
The first time I heard of them was ‘I’m on a boat’ which seemed way too good to be done by SNL writers. And so I watched more of their stuff on youtube.
3 new Patrons tonight. This place is a gold mine!

That’s the Ivanka Level.

I read upthread about some dust up with UCS. I missed it. What happened?
Likewise, I think I might have been missed, somewhat, in last evening’s links (even though I was around)…
You doin’ well, Chafed?
Sir Digby! I just couldn’t keep my eyes open last night. I missed you by about 40 minutes. Things are good here. How about you?
Eh…I’m OK. Work, work, and shit, ya know.
Just an FYI, I was getting all my online reading done fairly well last night. Then, I come here, and see a John Holmes-sized thread. I usually read through first, depending on what I see, which put me waaaay behind on making an entrance.
I know how it goes. I don’t usually check in until about 8 CA time. I usually read to the end before commenting on any of the current content.
See-I knew we was cousins, or something….Of course, I don’t always hold off on a comment.
Swiss Catbutted him for saying he doesn’t read the posts. Like I said, the kids are just getting rowdy because mom (SP) isn’t around.
Thanks and I think you are right.
Damn…Catt-assing Chafed? Over non-reading?
Is there any hope left in our world?
Also, if $ things play out like I think they are over the next week (when I see my pimp), I plan on being a bit more of a patron.
So, cross your fingers good and tight…er, that sounds…never mind.
Crossing my fingers is a problem, with the Gout induced arthritis, way to other me shitlord! Congrats if things are looking up for you. I’m pleased if you feel like contributing, but I don’t want anyone to feel obligated like their helping out a homeless person. I’m poor, but crafty family maneuvering keeps me in my house, not money…I’ve said too much
mom’sHillary’s Goon Squad is here!SD, I didn’t get cat butted. CPRM was saying UCS got it from Swiss.
I gotta go and read through the morass. UCS getting spanked? What IS the world coming to?
I know understand what happened–just not why (so much).
Are some of us really the powers-that-be the wrong way? ‘Cause I want to be sure I’m rubbing them properly, so as not to draw unwanted attention. And, late night commenting does have a few benefits.
Many have carried over their droll routines from Reason, where writers got paid for their work, weren’t part of the commentariat, and so it was all a bit more anarchic in the comments section and didn’t matter if commenters made snarky cracks about e.g. not reading the articles (which was common). Here, the staff and contributors work hard for free, it’s a different paradigm, with hurt feelings from the inertia of feigned apathetic snark. I get the hurt feelings, and I get the inertia. None of the latter is sincere, though: know that. We freeloaders all appreciate the hard work put in by those of you who make this place run. But I also wouldn’t want a commentariat without the senses of humor that attracted and sustained my attention in the first place.
It’s a more fragile dynamic than at Reason, but it’ll all be OK.
Well, when you put it that way…
Good night Glibs. And God bless you every one.
Goodnight and thank you sir!
What? You out now?
I just got here….
Shouldn’t C. Anacreon be checking in soon?
How long before she has to return David Duke’s campaign donation?

Aleutian Islands trip report: Nice day here. Some snow this morning and then the sun came out around noon. Pretty goddamn windy, though. I’ll be here until Saturday. Good thing I brought my own booze out with me; the local stores are almost 3x Anchorage prices.
Your life is awesome.
I love what I do, even if I want to put head through the wall when I found out we under-billed people by 55k last year because ‘that’s how we always did it’.
GAHHHHHH
The views out here are incredible, too.
Adak?
It’s just $1 trillion, who cares?
https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/13/house-vote-spending-bill-read/
They have to pass it to find out what’s in it.
A trillion here and a trillion there and pretty soon you’re talking about fiat money.
::pffft::-“fiat money”. Like hell….
Clearly, with that kind of talk, you don’t understand that money is just the word of our Government, which is what we do together. So, it’s consensus money, ’cause the social contract is all about….
Wait–what were we talking about?
No sleep at all last night. I’m usually a really good sleeper but a couple nights a year its just like my brain won’t shut off. I blame Glib fighting! Can’t we all just get along?!
/bursts into tears……runs out of room
On a serious note though I really enjoy that this place is so tranquil. At TOS there was a always a good chance I’d get engrossed in a thread that would spike my blood pressure. Here not so much, I really am grateful for the civility.
THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTING IN THE WAR ROOM
So you’re telling us what to do now too?
Happy Valentine’s Day to all Glibs, wherever you are! Coffee and Glibs in the morning, does life get any better?
Morning.
Beer in the morning?
Mornin’!
Got eggs and sausage (courtesy of spud’s recipe) on the pan, and am enjoying the sun shining through the window. It’s a good day to be SUPREME OVERLORD.
Banjos has links, she’s just fucking with us.
