‘Twas the night before Glib-Mas, and, purged of endorphins,
Not a creature was stirring – not even the orphans.
Booby traps and alarms were set, in fear
That old rapist STEVE SMITH might decide to appear.
The Glib Ones were nestled, each snug in their bunk,
Each Glib Girl and Anarchist, and reg’lar old punk.
Both I and my mistress, who looked really super,
Were succumbing to an alcoholic stupor.
When, all of a sudden, ere I could rebuke,
Our Glib-house was hit with the force of a nuke!
(I exaggerate, of course, but still, I was shook up
And upset at the interruption of my hook-up.)
I ran to the window and threw open the pane.
Dark clouds had gathered, the moonlight did wane –
And above the night wind’s blistering howl,
I heard a voice; no, it was more of a growl:
“ALL OF YOU TROLLS, BE READY FOR TAKEOFF!
STEVE SMITH GO IN HERE, THEN WE WILL MAKE OFF
WITH THEIR GIFTS AND PRESENTS AND CHRISTMAS BOOTY –
ALL TROLL FLIGHT CREWS ATTEND TO YOUR DUTY!”
I cowered in fear, for from childhood I knew
Of the legend of STEVE SMITH and his murderous crew –
Eight ugly trolls pulled his magical sled;
The very sight of them filled grown men with dread.
I stood frozen in fear, stuck right to the floor
And heard massive footprints approaching my door;
Then, at the last moment, dived back of a chair –
My door was kicked open, and then, standing there
Was STEVE SMITH, in all of his horrible glory,
His dank body hair matted and gory.
He possessed two incredibly bloodshot eyes;
Oh, and a phallus of enormous size.
The creature turned and gave me a wink,
And just as I was beginning to think
That I was a goner, now it appeared
Perhaps things would not be quite as I feared.
Instead, he turned his attention to see
All of the Glib-gifts under the tree.
Then it hit me like a clap of thunder –
His purpose and intention to plunder!
All the things we had bought, he stuffed into a sack,
Our unopened presents, he proceeded to pack.
All of the firearms, sex toys, and lube,
Our home-brew kits, our blow-up dolls – hey, rube!
This was our whole holiday he was stealing,
But as I stood there, I had the feeling
That if I tried to stop him, he’d pound me, I knew
Into a greasy little pile of goo.
So while I stood cowering, tame as a mouse,
The creature went all about the house
Taking all that he wanted; why, he even took
Every Ayn Rand and Hayek and Mises book.
When he was finally done, he heaved a great sigh,
And again fixed me with a bloodshot eye.
Though the beast seemed to be in a jovial mood
I had only one thought: Holy crap, I am screwed.
But as I stood there trembling, my mouth agape,
The monster assured me: “DON’T WORRY, NO RAPE –
STEVE SMITH EXHAUSTED AFTER LONG NIGHT OF THEFT.
ALMOST FEEL SORRY, YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT.
BUT REMEMBER THIS: GLIB-MAS NOT ABOUT EARTHLY THINGS
BUT FREEDOM AND ALL THE JOY THAT IT BRINGS.”
With that he stepped out, with his large pack fumbling,
To his sled and his slave-trolls all a-grumbling.
Within moments the over-burdened sleigh
Rose into the sky, and then away –
Leaving only a horrible stink.
“No one will believe this,” I started to think.
I was up the rest of the night explaining;
I really don’t think I deserved the caning.
Ah, well. As STEVE SMITH said, as he vanished from sight,
“MERRY GLIB-MAS TO ALL! AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!”
Lovely. I remember, too, long ago the S.I.L. magazine did a libertarian goof on “Christmas Carol” where the last line, from Tiny Tim, was “I’ll buy my own damn crutches!”
Great!!! Very fun.
Bravo!
I’m watching die hard. Christmas Eve tradition.
Oh, hells ya!
Then go on Netflix and watch “the Movies that made us” to see the wonderful behind the scenes tale of the making of Die Hard.
Merry Glibmas everyone! Even to the conservatives!
even Q?
Glibmas is for all – Christian, heathen or Jew
As it’s for HM, then of course also Q
Just not those damned statists, ami rite?
Glibs taught me conservatives were statists down deep in their authoritarian souls.
:.(
you know what you did !
If conservatives had properly conserved the original intent of the Fathers, I’d still be one too.
That’s why I just call them Cons now.
Today’s conservatives seem to be conservative only in the way of ‘keeping everything exactly like it was 20-30 years ago’. Most of the people I know who call their self conservative are strongly pro law enforcement and strongly pro drug war. Most of them are pretty good economy wise, but that’s about where it stops, except the 2nd amendment, I’ll give them that. Otherwise they’re sort of like progs in that while they claim to be pro-liberty, they actually are only pro-liberty on things they like and want to ban everything else. The only real difference in conservatives and liberals has been about what they want to ban or not ban. Lately though, the so called liberals just took it to a completely different level with the identity politics and the hard move left. Conservatives are pretty much like they were 20 years ago, I like muh beer, but if you smokin some that funny stuff, we’re going to toss you in the rape cage. That’s why I’m not a conservative.
Most conservatives I’ve met (and this could be the difference between our opinions) have at least some concept of limiting government power and following the Constitution, whereas the “progressives” don’t have those principles at all. They’ll talk the talk about them when they think it’s to their benefit, but they’ll trash them the rest of the time. They think the Constitution is just some polite suggestions and limited government is an evil racist idea that prevents them from stamping out everything they don’t like.
I know they’re both pretty bad, but if I had to convert someone to libertarianism, I’d much rather start with a conservative than a “progressive”.
“I know they’re both pretty bad, but if I had to convert someone to libertarianism, I’d much rather start with a conservative than a “progressive”
Oh, I agree on that. Then you’d at least have a chance.
But most of the time I can’t get past this point:
Me: Cannabis should be legal.
Conservative: But… but… I have kids!
Me: I didn’t say legal for kids. Alcohol is a drug too, how’s that different?
Conservative: It’s different! You can have a glass of wine with your dinner, but you can’t smoke that wacky stuff with dinner! It’s only to get high!
Me: Yeah, I know, right now you’re having your 3rd bottle of wine with you dinner…
Conservative: Damn hippies!
Most conservatives i know have come around on pot. But mention using the same principal to legalize any other drug and it’s the end of the world.
“Most conservatives i know have come around on pot. But mention using the same principal to legalize any other drug and it’s the end of the world.”
They’ll be supporting red flag laws too as long as it doesn’t affect them. Most people care about their own liberty, just not about other peoples.
OT. Wow. ADV China going hard in the paint.
Their new channels and podcasts have been getting even better.
Must be satire.
Jingle bells trshmnstr smells UnCivil laid and egg the glib mobile lost a wheel and Tulpa got away
Fantastic! I sip this bourbon in your honor. Cheers! And Merry Christmas!
I can’t believe that English is his second language. Once again, I cop to being the dumbest of the Glibs.
I am seriously in awe of Pie and his understanding of American vernacular. Probably helps that he associates with us cretins.
Merry Christmas, Festus!
He is truly our Joseph Conrad.
“Once again, I cop to being the dumbest of the Glibs.”
Challenge accepted, sir.
“Once again, I cop to being the dumbest of the Glibs.”
Challenge accepted, sir.
What’s a challenge?
I don’t understand the question.
Wait, are we talking uneducated or making stupid life choices?
Maybe lack of a voice.
yes.
I mean I am just paraphrasing cartoons but merry Christmas to you lot.
*holds up glass*
*stares at empty glass*
Darn.
*rises to applaud obnoxiously*
Beautiful, dude!
Beautiful.
Very slowly rises to applaud outlandishly, quickly sits down.
Merry Christmas to all, especially STEVE SMITH.
/Whispers to Glibs, “Tell STEVE SMITH I’ve moved”/
Thanks, Chipper, you da man!
Author! Author!
I never got that. What in the world are people calling for when they shout that?
The author of the piece to come out and take a bow.
Sounds like a setup.
Chipper, don’t come out.
Someone trying to lure him out for STEVE?
STEVE SMITH ALREADY IN THE CLOSET WAITING FOR YOU. HE LIKE DARK HOLES IF YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEAN.
My name isn’t Arthur, it’s – dear God, I almost said it!
Most excellent!
Merry Glibmas, everyone!
Beautiful! *wild applause*
? it.
*Insert opera applause gif*
Jacket potatoes are proof that God doesn’t intend for us to be keto.
meh
Nice job, Chipper. Right up there with Al Bundy.
Rand Paul is a fucking national treasure.
Easiest way to read it so you don’t have to futz with Twitter:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1209130704312950785.html
Haha, thanks for the reminding. Funny stuff!
@RandPaul
“Looking back at that last tweet I probably should narrow that down. Bolton. I’m talking about John Bolton. Not all the other hawks the President hired, didn’t listen to, got mad at and fired. Neocon Apprentice really wasn’t very well thought out…”
“Thankfully though, the President usually does listen to his own instincts, which on foreign policy are pretty good. Though if you ask him, he will insist they are PERFECT.”
Best thing that could happen, been saying for a while, is if Trump listens to Rand more often. Rand can just let bad orange man take all the credit and it’s all good.
OMG, hahaha
@RandPaul
Don’t worry though, these guys are all over the problem of young people smoking. They want to stop 14 year olds from vaping, so they raised the age to legally vape or smoke from 18 to 21…
If that last sentence made any sense whatsoever to you, congratulations!!! You’re crazy enough to run for Congress!
Congress does do some good things. For example, I partnered with Mitch McConnell over the last few years to legalize hemp, which has been a pretty big success. But you should have seen the first meeting we had where I explained what hemp was to Mitch
He was very concerned that people could smoke hemp and get high (you can’t). I told him well maybe but it would have to be the size of a telephone pole. I think he’s still confused.
I feel responsible though because after all of this, he became “Cocaine Mitch.” So maybe Cannabis is a gateway drug after all…
“They want to stop 14 year olds from vaping”
And give them the right to vote.
Well that’s not so much in the category of “good things Congress does” as it is “Congress undoing something that it never should have done to begin with”.
/nitpicking pedantic ass
I’m telling you, Rand should just give bad orange man all the credit for all this. Then Rand will get more sway over him, because Trump is all about gloating about his success. Hopefully Rand figures this out. I think that praise and taking credit for stuff is what Trump cares most about. Just let Trump build the world tallest building behind the Whitehouse in exchange for several things that libertarians want.
I’m sure Rand fully understands this. It became clear that he knows how to butter Trump up and he uses that to lead him to correct decisions now and then.
It doesn’t hurt that they actually do seem to like each other although it’s hard to tell what’s real and what isn’t in politics. I’ve let friends talk me into doing all kinds of things I never would have done on my own.
Go on…
I’ve never met a dare I wouldn’t take, while my friends always chickened out. 10/10 would do again.
Me = stupid?
Them = pussies?
You decide.
Looks out the window and sees Wizzleteat’s tongue stuck to the flagpole, gets another been and pulls up chair by the window.
Damn type-os ruining everything already. Beer damnit!
I’ve never met a dare I wouldn’t take, while my friends always chickened out. 10/10 would do again.
You say that here?
No, you don’t get any stories.
Heh, I’m afraid it wasn’t anything sexy, just stupid guy stuff like Hyp says. I knew trying to take my old Willys through that swollen creek was a mistake but they talked me into it type stories mostly. Paul seems to have a better head on his shoulders than my friends though and is probably better counsel.
“I’m kidding stoners. Don’t @ me.”
LOL!
Haha.. yeah I wish I included that one.
What happens when the wind stops?
It snows.
*applause* Nice job, Chipper.
Merry Christmas from one of the perpetual lurkers.
Merry Christmas to you too Tulpa.
Whatevs, Tulpa.
And Merry Christmas to you and yours.
LOL
“Not a creature was stirring – not even the orphans.”
Wait… isn’t the norm to just throw a few orphans out the window as sacrifice so STEVE SMITH GO AWAY?
STEVE SMITH NO LIKE RAPE ORPHANS. SKIN TOO CLAMMY FROM MINING. STEVE SMITH LIKE RAPE HIKERS. SMELL LIKE PINE, NOT MONOCLES.
Dress them up in hiking clothes and rub them down with pine needles before tossing out the window?

I love it. Just excellent
Glib Girl
WAIT A MINUTE! There are libertarian women?
Sure there are. Just like Santa Claus, gremlins, and Eskimos.
No.
I like it.
Fuck off, Tulpa!
Fuck you, Tulpa.
Exactly what Tulpa would say.
I’m TulPoppy.
That’s Tulpascetic.
Better than Tulpathetic I’d say.
I can always sense the Tulpae. I have tulplepathy.
Hell yeah, snow today and tonight then a high of zero the next few days.
RIP my gas bill.
East wind can fuck right off.
I have been on a Sherlock Holmes kick lately. Got addicted to reading them at age 10. My first major “save up” purchase was William S Baring-Gould’s “The Annotated Sherlock Holmes.”
In the story set prior to WWI, Holmes says to Watson “There’s an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it’s God’s own wind none the less and a cleaner, better stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared.”
Too bad Conan-Doyle was wrong about the last sentence.
“Hell yeah, snow today and tonight then a high of zero the next few days.”
I couldn’t take any more of that shit, which is why I got out of the Midwest.
It is currently 84 degrees in the office. Both desk fans are going and I’m still suffering. If the humidity were anywhere above 16%, I’d be dead.
AC? It’s a real thing.
Not in winter when there’s what seems like a single thermostat for the whole building.
They kept our office fucking freezing last summer. We seriously had to wear winter coats and scarves inside. The maintenance guy claims that he had to keep the temperature there “to freeze out the humidity”.
Fortunately I moved to a different department in another part of the building where the temperature is quite tolerable.
The region of the building my cube is in is a solar oven, even with the curtains drawn. The facilities will not turn on the building wide AC units when other parts of the building need heating to stay unfrozen. Whoever designed the climate control system here… well, it’s not even good enough for government work. I hope they paid well in kickbacks.
I think that good weather rots peoples brains. Not sure how else you can explain California.
Then explain Canada.
Be nice, buddy!
Look, high temperatures make me cranky.
That comparison only makes sense if you replace “Canada” with “British Columbia and those provinces that are run by the Laurentian Elite.”
Too many English and defective French.
“ PRESENTS AND CHRISTMAS BOOTY”
*Lights HM signal*
egould unwrapping the present and eating ass like HM!
Superb! Happy Glibmas. And to take a cue from Rand I will now air my Glibmas grievances. Fuck it they are too long to list so ……….GET OFF MY LAWN!
*wipes away solitary tear*
*gives each orphan a thimbleful of eggnog*
I like this Glibmas idea as well. Now we just have to elect the right Supreme Overload so that a truck load of orphans, hookers, blow, and Mexican ass sex shows up on our doorstep every Glibmas morning.
Free shit? Fuck off, Slaver!
Look, no one said it was free, our orphans worked hard in the diamond mines for that stuff!
Then you don’t need a supreme overlord to organize it.
You’re already denying that there’s a real GlibaClaus who flies around in a nuclear fusion powered flying car delivering joy and hedonism to Glibs?
Elect? I earned my title the right way! CPRM canonized me.
Keep that up, and you’ll be cannonized.
Wait… wut? You’re the Hat?
1. Whistlestop “I did a thing” post:
Why is Christmas eve the peak time for plumbing SNAFUs? I just had to rush out to the shed and machine a bung to thread into the end of an old hot water feed for a washer that doesn’t exist because the ball valve upstream won’t seat. That’s only a tangential symptom of my screwing around looking for the cause of why I nolonger have any hot water in the kitchen. Plumbing is common sense and to heck with paying some union goon holiday rates to get his pipe wrench wet. Gay. Oddly enough while out earlier I watched a plumber get a wet towel out of his van and wring it out. It turns out that was prophetic as I now have six saturated towels myself.
2. Continuing the prog/space rock tangent from the morning links:
Funnily enough I had to rush out earlier after reading that reply (and before the averted plumbpocalypse), and I turned on the radio to hear this from Chris Squire’s Christmas album, featuring Steve Hackett on guitar. It’s not very good :/
3. I enjoyed this post and I am now going out to tolerate my family and drink.
“ I am now going out to tolerate my family and drink.”
Not necessarily in that order…
Yeah, I was thinking that one of those out of necessity might come first in that order.
Please don’t jinx me. That happened last year.
Now we don’t have a home warranty because we canceled it after we went to the bankruptcy lawyer, and we haven’t been foreclosed on yet.
*bites nails*
I’ve had no fewer than 2 staff members have major plumbing issues in the last 2 weeks.
It’s not even cold enough for burst pipes, for the love of Pete!!
Let me tell you. That home warranty was the only thing that kept us in this house this long.
“rush out to the shed and machine a bung”
You British and your delightful euphemisms.
I don’t know if he’s still around, but this is for OMWC, as is this and of course, this.
And for us cool-cat goyim, a little ditty by The Bobs.
God Bless us, every one! (For “God,” please substitute Imaginary Sky Daddy, Dog or Religion is the opiate of the masses! as appropriate for your personal opinion/disability/hobby-horse . . . ).
Oi! MODERATORS!
Would someone please release my post from “awaiting moderation” Hell? Thankyoukindly.
Funny that. I don’t have any Festivus grievances for you sorry lot. Not a one. Told you that I was the stupidest Glib! Maybe the imaginary Glibs could start being hotter, and female. Other than that I’ve really got nothing.
Apropos of nothing, SiriusXM’s Rockin’ Christmas channel is a little light on the rockin’.
Thanks for the kind words. I didn’t know SP was going to run this old thing again this year.
It’s a Glib family tradition!
Glib family in the sense of Manson family

“people talking about tarring and feathering politicians in a less-than-joking manner.”
Well if they want to start a go fund me for bail money, I’ll contribute.
Wait other people are joking when they say that?
Well, it might be Hyperbole.
‘”The reason is because my fellow law enforcement officers I’ve heard on more than one occasion tell me they would not enforce these bills regardless of whether they believe in them ideologically,” Woods said, “because they believe that there are so many people angry — in gun shops, gun shows, at bars we’ve heard it now — people talking about tarring and feathering politicians in a less-than-joking manner.”
As Woods mentioned politicians themselves could very well be in danger because of their decisions, several rebel yells broke out as the crowd cheered him on.’
Well look at that, something warmed my cold, black heart today.
“people talking about tarring and feathering politicians in a less-than-joking manner.”
I don’t know that I’d go that far. Wouldn’t that gum up the woodchippers?
Lachowsky, is that you?
The Liberty Steel Group has made a $28 million bid to buy the Bayou Steel Group and reopen the recently closed LaPlace plant.
According to a release from Liberty Steel, Bayou Steel Group’s bankruptcy firm has named them the preferred cash bidder, and they expect to complete the deal on Jan. 31, 2020.
Liberty’s current plan is to upgrade and modernize the idle steel mill and restart recycling operations in the second half of 2020 and steel making in 2021.
“While the plant requires upgrades to be restarted competitively, we see good potential for the business,” Executive Chairman of GFG Alliance Sanjeev Gupta said. “Bayou benefits from reliable access to supplies of recycled steel, competitive power prices and its own deep-water port.”
It’s a Glib family tradition!

What’s with the Patsy Stone child pic?
New legal smoking age.
Yeah, no shit, the wife said she was going to put a splash of Karo on their gruel but I told her that’s just going too far even if it’s Christmas.
If your karo splashes, either you’ve been cheated, or you’ve used way too much.
If you are counterfeiting corn syrup you may have hit peak cheapskate.
Well, if you’re just using it for orphans who cares. in fact, just pour water on their gruel and tell them it’s corn syrup.
Hey, just because you spoil your orphans doesn’t mean you should get my orphans hopes up!
Merry Christmas, Glibs!
Six gallons of Sourwood Mead in bottles. Next task, getting 5 gallons of Tupelo Mead into bottles.
Very nice. Closest I’ve come to the Christmas Spirit this year.
keep moving and the rapesquach might not catch you.
He’ll have to get in line.
Wunderbar!
Merry Christmas Glibs!
We just finished our Christmas celebration with my in-laws, and now we’re driving back to Atlanta to visit with my family. We should make it in time to go caroling (we’re not very good, but we give the neighbors apple pies that are very good, so everyone’s happy).
There’s another glib in the state of Georgia? I’m not alone! ?
You’re a sick man wchipperdove.
Don’t ever change.
As Woods mentioned politicians themselves could very well be in danger because of their decisions, several rebel yells broke out as the crowd cheered him on.’
Wait, what?
Politicians only “serve” with the consent of the rabble? That’s crazy talk.
Happy Glibmas, Glibs!
I’m currently in Cleveland Heights, OH, in my wife’s uncle’s basement finishing up some work before quarter and month end. You haven’t truly lived until you’ve done journal entries while buzzed on Great Lakes beer.
How long are you in town for? And the Christmas Ale I trust?
We’re in town till early Thursday morning. I went to the Browns game this past Sunday with my father in law and my two brother in laws. The result was sad but it was pretty awesome sitting in the 11th row of the Dawg Pound.
Three days later…
“What insane asshole mischaracterized these expenses? Now I’m going to have to spend the next week straightening these accounts.”
30 percent of my job is correcting former employees shitty mistakes. I remember I had to rec out a 2.5 million dollar deal and the revenue recognition was FUBAR. The worst part was that my senior and I got grilled on it by some auditor from KPMG even though we had nothing to do with booking this deal but because it was part of the product line we worked on, we were accountable for explaining the deal.
rec = reconcile
“You haven’t truly lived until you’ve done journal entries while buzzed on Great Lakes beer.”
so… how many times did the word ‘woodchippper’ appear in your latest journal entry? *waiting to score Ed on libertarian purity test*
At the very least…20 times.
Great, only me and Ron Paul finished ahead of you.
Ughh . . .I guess I should go change the oil in the truck while I have the time and an unseasonably warn 50 degrees out.
And done . . . .Power steering fluid was low. I don’t know why, I couldn’t find any signs of a leak. I don’t have any fluid, so it will remain low for now.

Love the poem, wchipperdove. Very, very well done.
Raising a glass to all of you Glibs I’ve met IRL: SP & OMWC, Akira, SugarFree, Yusef, Mexican Sharpshooter, and the gentleman whose handle is not a word but a picture of a dagger made of commas and semicolons, I believe – thank you for your time and friendship.
To the rest of you Tulpae from the internet, including Q, Mojeaux, Tundra, Hyperbole and Hyperion, 4×20, Gustave, TH, DbleEagle, Switzy’s Gaze, DEG, Gustave, and all the rest of you fake people, including Rapesquatch Extraordinaire Steve Smith and Zardoz: Thank you for creating and sustaining the Worst Chatroom on the Internet. You’ve made my life richer (somehow).
Much love these holidays.
P.S. Fuck off, Tulpae
Thanks Ozy. I hope your holidays are good.
Thanks, DEG. In the sticks of Missouri right now with the wife and in-laws on the family farm. Wonderful chillaxing while the kids run around on the acreage to the “hideout” (treehouse) that granddad built. Downright bucolic, I’d say.
That’s not bad at all.
Tomorrow I drive to Pennsylvania. We’ll see a) how my back and leg do with five to six hours in the car and b) how my sanity handles driving through Connecticut. Connecticut doesn’t last forever, it just feels that way.
*Looks at map*
It is a state? It is only as big as a medium county.
I-95 in CT is perpetually under construction.* It is known.
*At least it has been since I was in high school, which feels pretty close to perpetuity from this side of 50.
Merry Christmas from Colorado, one and all!
Except Tulpa. Fuck off, Tulpa.
Shut up, Tulpa.
Bear fight!
Merry Christmas!
Cheers, Animal. Really enjoyed your writing this past year, from Allamakee Chronicles to the pieces on guns. It’s appreciated.
Well, time to go drink and watch my buddy and his gf snipe at each other. That prime rib better be outstanding. Underrated plot of the evening will be me inevitably shit talking his sister at some point since we were together for almost six years.
God bless you all!!!!
That’s a solid, but not completely, dysfunctional Xmas. Heartily approve.
Might as well join in. I have a bottle of some ginger beer. You’re supposed to mix that with rum, right? I seem to remember that in South Africa, they mix it with lager into sort of a shandy, but I don’t have any beer or beer-adjacent beverages.
Yes.
Vodka and lime juice. Moscow Mule yo.
I’ve seen a few of these signs in front lawns in my neighborhood:
IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELEIVE;
BLACK LIVES MATTER
WOMEN’S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL
SCIENCE IS REAL
LOVE IS LOVE
KINDNESS IS EVERYTHING
Any chance we can get a Glib printing of signs that say:
MURDER AT THE HANDS OF THE STATE IS STILL MURDER
NEGATIVE RIGHTS ARE THE ONLY RIGHTS
NO VICTIM, NO CRIME
SCIENCE IS NOT BASED ON CONSENSUS
TAXATION IS THEFT
SELF-OWNERSHIP IS EVERYTHING
Racist!
That’s a pretty good list. I might make the second one and put it up somewhere on a whim with a camera, just to see the quizzical looks it gets.
And I Brooks’d it.
(Merry Christmas, Brooksy!)
DO NOT GO TO THE MALL
Is there any bigger reason why Amazon is doing so well?
DEG- Since you are here now I’ll give you my beer reviews so far:
Young’s Double Chocolate Stout: Pours and looks like Guinness in the glass in both color and head. Tastes like Guinness (dry stout) with balanced flavor of dark chocolate. Will buy again.
Innis & Gunn Bourbon Barrel Porter: Pours a dark red-brown with little head. Sweet booze/winey taste with a little bourbon bite finish. Not bad but far from my favorite of Innis & Gunn’s offerings, would opt for Irish Whiskey Cast Stout or regular Innis & Gunn given the option.
Monks Blood Dark Belgian: Pours a dark brown, almost black, with a tan head. Not much smell, a hint of spice and caramel. Slightly syrupy feel mouth feel. Taste fruit and coffee undertones. Boozey and sweet, and not as flowery/spicey as other Belgians I’ve had. Would buy again.
Excellent. Thanks!
