Unless the Niners completely mess up on turnovers there’s gonna be plenty of salty cheese tears tonite.
You want to be banned, yes?
No ma’am.
I prefer Thunderball
That was awesome.

Too late!
Derrick Henry looks like the back of his head is taking a shit.
I’ve thought so as well.
After I said this, SP told me that she hates men.
Can you blame her?
What the hell is that?
Pointy on the wrong end.
I think it’s stuck. He needs more fiber.
It’s little dreads, bound together when he plays
You’re not wrong.
Like when my long haired cat gets a dingleberry and I have to chase her through the house and grab it with a paper towel.
What’s weird is that the front and crown of Henry’s hair is rather neat and composed. It just goes totally wrong in back.
+1 Maine Coon
My big lummox of a cat gets those. I once tried to put the clippers to his backside but he is 26 pounds of recalcitrant meatloaf, and was having none that.
Big dog is 100lbs. We have his mats removed once a year when he’s put under for a tooth cleaning.
Cant figure out how you leave men uncovered on 4th down when you know it’s a passing play.
I am braced for disappointment.
“Brace yourself, Bessie!”
Irish foreplay: “Brace yourself Maggie!”
Keep the faith. Look at what happened last week.
I am braced for disappointment.
Buck up, li’l trooper.
Go ‘Niners.
Not sure you have much to worry about with GB. I may be a cheese head, but I try to live in reality. Barring something miraculous, I just dont see any outcome other than an SF win.
And that is exactly why I’m nervous.
Today’s football food is leftover shrimp bisque and Lions Head Meatballs both from Chef John who is rumored to be a commie gun grabber. The meatballs call for 8oz of tofu and I bought a 16oz package. WTF do I do with the remaining 8oz?
It’s tofu? Throw it in the garbage.
(j/k, but I think it keeps for quite a while)
You kid but that is probably what will end up happening.
Not a rumor, it’s true. But the fucker is a terrific teacher.
Did he actually say something about gun control recently? I hadn’t heard.
The laws of probability would suggest that he’s a pretty hard Leftist since he lives in San Francisco if I remember right. Plus he made some “collusion” jokes during an episode about Russian meat dumplings.
Press, marinate, pan fry.
Hot and sour soup.
Freeze it. (No, I’m not kidding.)
It’s a two-step process. First, drain the remaining tofu block on several sheets of paper towel. You’re looking to get as much water out of the block as possible — you can also put a plate with some weight on top of it to help express the liquid. Then, put it in a freezer bag, get the excess air out of it and in it goes.
It’ll last for months. When you thaw the tofu, it’ll have a completely different texture, much chewier. Now you can shred the block of tofu (it’ll have the texture of shredded chicken breast at this point), and then mix various yummy things into it to make a faux chicken salad, ferinstance. It works well. You can also add it to spag sauce, chili, etc. — pretty much anywhere you add shredded chicken.
It’s one of the few ways I actually like tofu.
Dumb penalty.
He should be cut for that alone. Touching a wideout in the situation was incredibly stupid.
No KC defensive player should be celebrating a single tackle.
No

True, but given how bad the Chiefs’ defense is, they especially shouldn’t be doing so.
I just ordered a case for my new phone. The damn thing is so slick I can’t hang on to it. What the hell happened to industrial design which ranks utility over cosmetics?
I hope it’s one of these
part of it is the glass backs for inductive charging I think.
Dayum.
6’8″ 320 lbs. The goal posts shook when he landed in the end zone.
Reminiscent of one of Vrabel’s TDs, back in the day.
Thank you, CBS, for running the package illustrating my point.
“running the package illustrating my point”
I remember that girlfriend.
I can’t help but like Vrabel.
It’s the porn stash isn’t it?
I always liked Vrabel fan and I’m happy he’s doing so well as a coach.
The article that pic is from is pretty great – so much shit-talking between Vrable and the Pats when they held a joint training camp last summer.
3 neutral zone infractions in one half?
Don’t these guys get paid to do this?
At home, no less.
Two more than it would take for the Romulans to respond.

Andy Ried needs to light a fire under his D after all those dumb penalties.
Ried: *kicks something* “ITS FUCKIN’ EMBARRASSING!!!!!”
Gawd I hate growing older. I just pulled two hairs off the edge of my ear that were an inch and a half long.
The indignities of age.
That’s not the worst I heard about you today. I heard you got beat up for not paying a tranny midget hooker in San Francisco. Well, at least I assumed that is what that was about.
It’s the obvious explanation.
It’s called “projection”.
I don’t need to know the details of whatever sick fetish you are into.
lol…..and wrong. I have always paid my tranny midget hookers.
He/she wasn’t very good.
LOL, only 2? That’s today, right?
Yeah, just today.
I have a theory that I have just as many hairs as I did 30 years ago, just that they’ve relocated.
^^This^^
You do. some are just growing more agressively than others. The number of hair follicles only changes if you have a change in skin area from, say, burns or grafts.
Additionally, my hairline isnt receding. Its…..thigh-burns.
Better than the pink yarmulke.
I just figured you used to have Hypertrichosis and it went away.
As you age, everything gets larger, hairier, and closer to the ground.
I have these tiny, wiry renegade chin/jaw hairs that bug me every time I touch my face. I can only feel them. Can’t see them. They’re always in the same place. I will dig those things out if I have to.
And then, about every 3 months, I find a very long but very soft hair in the middle of my cheek. Now I know how all those old women leave their hairs unplucked, you know, the ones tha glint bright red in the sunlight and that’s all you can see while they’re talking to you. They don’t look in the mirror or they can’t see them.
Worrying the ones nobody can ever see and totally missing the ones nobody can look away from.
My face is like sandpaper.
I made the mistake of shortening my beard recently. Now it just looks like I’ve neglected shaving.
I’m at the grand old age now (32) where my eyebrow hairs are getting longer. Some of them get so long that they curl downwards and tickle my eyelids. If this happens at work, I will go to the bathroom and yank that fucker until it comes out. I now have to add “trim longass eyebrow hairs” to my grooming routine.
A good hair clipper (or beard trimmer) has an attachment that makes easy work of that problem.
Yea, I do have one of those trimmers that I use on my hair. But I use the shortest setting to buzz the back and sides of my head (“Nazi hair” according to Samantha Bee) and I’m always afraid I’ll forget to change it and buzz my eyebrows down to almost nothing.
WTF is up with hyperspecific stats?
Only wide receiver to carry for 1.75 yards in the first 10 minutes of the third quarter on the third Sunday in January in an even-numbered year.
Baseballification.
Geek analysts who have no interest in football.
Numbers are more interesting anyway.
They employ a field of nerds with computers to come up with this crap.
Cracks me up. “First QB to score over 20 points in the game attended by his left-handed orthodontist “
So very much this.
Stealing.
The one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench.
What is the actual difference between right handed and left handed moneky wrenches?
One’s right handed, one’s left handed. Duh.
Left handed monkeys make better plumbers, right handed ones make better mechanics.
Amazing what a few interns can do with Tableau.
Chiefs gettin’ warmed up.
Last week they staged quite the comeback!!
But I wouldn’t count the Titans out…ask Belichick.

KC not doing themselves any favors with all these stupid penalties. Amazing they’re winning.
They’re really doing their best to keep the Titans in it.
See, this is why I dont think you should throw the challenge flag outside of some very specific, game changing instances. KC throws it on a short pass for a first down (and they were right, it was a completed pass), but what did it get them? One more first down for the stat sheet, and a punt. Save that red flag for something that really matters, like a play that gets called a TD against you and shouldn’t have been.
All scoring plays are automatically reviewed by the booth.
You make a fair point. I’m still sure there are better times to throw it than halfway through the 2nd quarter on a play that ultimately made no difference.
You don’t know the next play when you throw the flag. Good flag; a possession call.
I was beered out, so I switched to a cocktail. I may have made a tactical error…
I only have a 10-pack left and Im not going out. Im trying to pace myself.
It seems like there are a lot of empty seats in that stadium.

SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!
I read something, earlier, by some sort of Chinese cookery person about using baking soda as a meat tenderizer. Claims that’s where the “velvety” tenderness comes from.
Am i the only one who has never heard of this before?
I have never heard of such a thing.
This is true I lived with a Chinese guy (via Netherlands and Suriname) one semester who showed me this. Also that grilled minced fish balls are delicious.
So how do you use it? A lot? a little? how long does it need to sit? Anything other than just dusting/dredging it in the prep side?
Here’s a good reference with links to other sources :
https://www.tastingtable.com/cook/national/baking-soda-meat-tenderizer-cooks-illustrated?amphtml=true
I usually go the corn starch route. A different method to achieve a similar result.
Thank you.
A pinch in scrambled eggs or omelets also makes them more tender.
Interesting. What’s the chemistry behind this? More CO2?
Proteins fold differently based on pH. I don’t know for sure, but I’d bet on that being the case.
My mom always wanted to do a course on the science of baking. I never had the money to send her, and now she is too old and broken down to stand up that long.
Does she have any books on the science of cooking? I have a few in my library in case you want a recommendation or two. She might enjoy the reading.
I have gotten her books, yes. I think she is past that. She is too tired and in too much pain to care anymore.
Her one true passion and joy is playing the piano. She broke her arm in early 2019, and she had to have surgery on it. Doc came to speak to us (me and her sisters), and the possibility of death was floated, and I told him if she could never play the piano again, she’d rather just die.
He looked kind of horrified, but her sisters backed me up. “Save her arm or let her die.”
That’s exactly it.
Its a salt (NaHCO3) so just like coating a steak in coarse sea salt (like I do) its going to draw the moisture out of the tissues via osmosis.

I save the parsley for my tuna salad. Lots and LOTS of parsley.
To drown out the tuna flavour.
Sadly, that is true. I like tuna. But the one I make (bestie’s recipe) is just too delicious.

Whew. I am tired. Made a batch of Kumquat marmalade before the sun was up. Tire pressure, fluids and oil change on two vehicles, built two swarm trap boxes, now preparing to fry fish and shrimp*. I am grateful that I can accomplish that much at my age and in my condition. Tomorrow I will mimic a throw pillow on the couch. I wonder if I can stay awake until after the sun goes down.

Nice work, Suthen. I have been an absolute slug this weekend. Except for cleaning bathrooms and a load of laundry.
Oh yeah. I forgot that….I did several loads of laundry this morning. All of the fabric in the house is clean now.
Seriously, bro. I will pay cash money for some your homemade bbq sauce. I remember that from months ago.
This is true I lived with a Chinese guy (via Netherlands and Suriname) one semester who showed me this.
Huh. I knew better, but the other day I grabbed some pre-packaged “stir fry beef” at the grocery store. Even after marinating for a day and a half, it was still quite… resilient.
Maybe I’ll get some more and try the baking soda trick, in the interests of science.
Boy am I glad we have tax-payer funded research to tell us things that are intuitively known.

My Gramps was a huge ‘Niners fan. It was a big part of my eulogy back in 1998. If the Vikes are out, I’m a 49rs fan.
See ya, Pack!
Right on! Let’s go Niners. I want the Joe Montana Bowl!
I shall follow the tenuous Patriots connection and move on from Vrable to Jimmy G. Go Niners!
Belichick really did the 49ers a huge favor there. (Even though I think Kraft was the one that told him he had to trade Jimmy G )
Salary issues, I imagine.
He looked damned good subbing for Brady.
That’s what it was. Jimmy G was coming due for a big payday and Kraft likely didn’t want to pay him. Belichick made sure he went out of the AFC.
It wasn’t the money, per se, but the cap, as ever. They essentially would have had to move on from Brady to keep Jimmy G (which Belichick allegedly wanted to do, but Kraft overruled him).
Pats couldn’t keep him (tho scuttlebutt was Belichick wanted to and move on from Brady, but Kraft put the kibosh on that, as you mention). The Pats squeezed all they could from that trade.
I have dusted off the rowing machine and done 30 minutes. I’m aiming to keep the chain going tomorrow.
It’s totally cool I drink a bottle of wine tonight, right?

Yep.
Only if it was red wine.
That wasn’t the plan, but I have options.
I drink white wine until the red wine is opened.

That was a pretty funny ad lib by Romo.
You all actually LISTEN to these ramblers?
Yeah, I can’t sync the tv with The Fox
Romo can serve up a nice platter of snark when he’s in the mood.
I hope he doesn’t go to ESPN, because I can get CBS games, but not ESPN.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a penalty called on a previous play before. Is that something new?
Well. Can I look yet? There’s still time to lose.
Going back to Miami…
Unclench!
Can’t. Now I’m tensed up for the Superbowl.
You must have superb stamina. I don’t think I could do that with any muscle for two whole weeks. ;-)
That’s two weeks away. You might explode.
Just heard fireworks in the neighborhood… either that, or Mo exploded.
Nope, I’m hearing them too. I don’t actually know what part of town you live in. I’m over by Lewis & Clark.
I’m near the (Chiefs red) redneck winery.
Oh! That’s what I thought I remembered you said, but I can’t trust my remembery.
I went there when I was a kid, when it was still a boy’s home. My bff’s parents had to run an errand there and we ran loose for about an hour. It was deliciously creepy.
Um…M80’s may or not have been ignited at my residence near that time.

Scratch that, Northland.
Pretty sure there were thunderboomers all over the metro.
And KC goes to the Superbowl.
Looks like the KC Chiefs are bringing home the Lamar Hunt trophy.
Appropes.

There might actually be a guaranteed snow day in February.
I’m literally shaking rn.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, so you know how all the schools had to close up shop on the day of the Royals parade because everybody kept calling in, and oractically the whole city just gave up and closed up?
At least this time we’ll know what day it’ll be on and not have to go through all that ballyhoo.
If the Chiefs win the SB the parade will be nearly double the size, book it.
The first coat is still tacky, but the piece of maple plywood that I got for the work surface looks gorgeous .
I’m torn about the next game. I want to root for the Pack, but I would hate to see the universe reward State Farm for those stupid fucking commercials all year.
Those are the worst.
All-State Mayhem works extremely well.
The Farmers “We’ve seen a thing or two” is amusing.
State Farm making a character whose chief characteristic is annoying desperation does not.
My favorite State Farm commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w
I liked the commercials with Rodgers and Matthews before the latter left the Pack. I don’t like most sitcoms, but I swore I’d watch a sitcom starring those two and Peyton Manning – playing insurance salesmen, of course.
My favorite Clay Matthews commercial
It would be nice if someone can explain those commercials to me.
Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes have an agent they both find obnoxious and stupid, yet despite being two of the top athletes on the planet, cant fire him and hire someone else. Now, buy our totally unrelated insurance!
I was going to explain that the nondescript annoying one is trying to get them to switch to him from State Farm, then I realized that the fact that I have to say that means the commercial fails on many many planes.
I thought he’s supposed to be their sports agent, not their insurance agent? But they wish he’d be more like their State Farm agent?
Well now you’ve got me thinking about this way too hard.
But we remember that it’s State Farm, so … ad win?
Yep.
Now explain why Rodgers and Tina Fey, both of whom are multimillionaires, are so damn worried about saving a few hundred dollars a year on their car insurance.
A few hundred here, a few hundred there, soon you’re talking real money.
You think they got to be millionaires by wasting money?
Actually, yes.
Okay, I just saw that commercial again and I have no idea what’s going on.
Heh good point. And Mahomes is in one of them, too. Hmmmmm…
More than one. This is why I wanted KC to lose. Hate those fucking ads.
Mahomes is in several local KC ads too… you’d probably hate those too.
And in every one of them, he’s very stiff. It’s adorable.
It’s not supposed to be adorable when it’s stiff.
I have no clever riposte for that.
He is that.
Just stiff enough to go to Miami.
My favorite State Farm.
?
I hate “extended versions”, though.
GO ‘NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clark Hunt is wearing Packers green earplugs… WTF???
the piece of maple plywood that I got for the work surface looks gorgeous .
Maple. Good choice.
I like Birch. It’s light (as in ‘not dark’).
How is it for hardness? On the one hand, it’s nice to be able to take notes on a piece of paper without leaving a permanent record of it on the writing surface. On the other hand, I have my grandfather’s old office desk that has his handwriting all over the spruce top. I’ve put a piece of glass over that to preserve it.
I just finished cleaning and oiling a ~60 year old octagonal coffee table made of pecan. Letting the oil soak overnight so I can buff it tomorrow.
It’s lovely. Fits in surprisingly well with my cherry and mahogany stuff.
You’re not drinking and watching football? Infidel.
I’m cleaning the kitchen. It’s more interesting.
Mashallah.
Dude, I’m multitasking.
Drinking, watching football, and cleaning house on commercial breaks.
Oh god, we had a cheap “octagon table” (I think it was an end table) growing up. It was a terrible eyesore.
This one is surprisingly ok. Probably 4 feet across, not enclosed with doors or any of that Pennsylvania Dutch painted crap, just perched on 4 legs and nestled nicely into a multi-couch / chair zone.
any of that Pennsylvania Dutch painted crap
HEY!
I’m of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry, and I remember almost no painted crap. Most everything wooden was stained, and very nicely stained.
Yeah, the piece of shit we had (we weren’t that well off growing up) was probably particleboard, with a door from bottom to top. With the cheap quality and a hinge at that angle, it didn’t stay togeter too well.
It’s 4:30 and I just started on my second Manhattan. It’s a good thing all I have to do tonight is grill cheeseburgers.

GO NINERS!!!
Yes, golddigging misanthropes.
Wait, this is a sportsball reference, isn’t it?
Boo hiss.
You shouldn’t want the Niners in the Super Bowl, their colors ate too similar to the Chiefs. Better tv optics to have the other team in green.
But then, two midwestern teams probably mean lower ratings and revenue for tv, so yes, root for the Niners.
On the other hand, Andy Reid coaching against his former team is a great publicity storyline. And we know both QBs are friends and happy to appear on tv together, which also will help ratings, so root for the Pack.
And yet…..
I don’t know; the Packers have fans everywhere.
Yes. Every state has a mental hospital.
Nonsense. They’ve been de-institutionalized, and now they’re running media companies.
Or shitting in the street, same difference.
I can’;t prove that those are mutually exclusive populations.
I didn’t think there were enough people in North Dakota to support a mental hospital.
It’s an open-air facility where they can gambol without care.
There’s not. We make money importing crazy Sconnies.
Like Bedlam, they’re there to view the inmates…
But the tv foofs always think the highest rated games will be New York vs LA. Actual results never seem to change their minds.
This is all they’re looking at
I suspect that you are correct… SF is #6 on the list, KC is #32, and GB is #67. How many millions does it take to buy local TV ad time in the top 200 markets at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters of the playoff games?
Those numbers are way off from the size of the metro area when you get beyond the top 3. San Diego is 29. Really?
It’s the TV market, not the metro area. Boston isn’t nearly that large.
This shows it better:
http://bl.ocks.org/simzou/6459889
Much of what is part of San Diego is considered part of the LA TV market.
Yeah, that’s some weird sorcery. Look at the Denver one.
I’m not even sure that map is right – how would those non-contiguous areas even work?
*looks*
From that map page:
“Some areas are shaped really strangely (such as a slice of Nevada being part of the Denver media market) but that is really how they are divided ”
That’s bizarre.
Cynthia Cooper says “Hi!”
I have no dog in this fight.
Me neither. Slight preference towards GB if only to keep SF out of it.
?
?
San Francisco too gay for you?
*snort*
No, just that a forgettable year living amongst unpleasant and crazy people is an excuse I use to root for their teams’ opposition.
I’ve lived in Boston, I feel ya.
Boston fans are among the worst of the worst.
Even worse than New York fans.
Hey, I’m standing right here!
I am not crazy.
(also, not the worst fans – two words: “The Raiders”)
Yeah, the Raiders should have won that 2001 Divisional game.
That was the right call on a bad rule. It took them another decade before they got rid of it.
Trig:
There are different kinds of “unpleasant and crazy”. I could deal with Boston, easily.
Rhy: I dunno. I lived between Tufts and Harvard, and that was pretty insufferable nearly twenty years ago. I shudder to think about my reaction now.
OK, maybe not that part of Boston-area.
The area between Tufts and Harvard is unrecognizable from 20 years ago. Totally gentrified. (I live there)
I’ve got a little moolah on the 49ers to win the NFC, otherwise I couldn’t care less.
Kelce is not… a brain trust.
He is very beloved here. He’s an Everyman.
Joe the Plumber.
Yeah, kinda. Yeah.
He’s the frat boy douche I used to have to restrain myself from clocking at the Power and Light District, but he’s a helluva football player. 😉
He do get enthusiastic, don”t he?

Fuck the Packers! Go Niners!

The one they did prior to the AFC game was good, performed by a vet.
Holy cow. Boyz 2 Men? Spare me!!!!!
This means the AFC will win the Super Bowl.

How is it for hardness?
I don’t think birch is particularly hard, but if you’re putting polyurethane on it, it’s not much of an issue.
I bet the tonsure was invented by a cleric who already had a bald spot.

Only reason I can think behind Bloomberg’s ad buy is that he has some sort of Brewster’s Millions kind of deal.where he has to waste a billion dollars with nothing to show for it.
I haven’t seen his ads in my market. Steyer yes, Mike no.
Bloomberg has been buying ads heavily in Kansas City during the playoffs (Steyer too), and I’ve heard that both Bloomberg and Trump have bought ad time during the Super Bowl… I hate ads.
Yeah, for real. Who in the hell would vote for Bloomberg? I don’t even mean from my own personal preferences, I mean I can’t envision a segment of likely Bloomberg voters that isn’t captured by a more popular or more well-known candidate.
There is still a law (unenforced) requiring people to be armed at church.
Bloomberg might not have picked the best state to start his Midwest Pandering (TM) campaign
I mean, a Kansas law.

Self funded victory lap after he ass fucked the country with all his commie DAs whose campaigns he funded and subsequently got them elected?

Virginia delegate jacks off while thinking about the US Military slaughtering his ideological opponents.
https://twitter.com/DelegateMark/status/1217060375377719296
Any time I get mad the the orange man, I get a reminder of how truly evil those statist fucks are on the other side. Imagine if Hildabeast had been packing the court now.
There’s no way in hell I would ever vote Democrat for National office. I may not vote for the Republican either, but I’m definitely not voting for the D. I’m not planning on voting for Orange Man but we’ll see what things look like in November.
That’s my algorithm for voting if I have no opinion/information about the candidates:
Is there a D on the ballot? If yes, vote for R. If no, vote third party.
Jesus. That’s my new voting pattern as well.
I live in NYS, so it’s a pointless exercise, but it used to be that unless I actually liked a candidate (a rare state of affairs) it was always “vote 3rd party unless one candidate is seriously scary”. Now? It’s your algorithm. It was one thing with the donkey’s were at least, on paper, in favor of civil liberties, but those days are done. I will never vote for the evil party again, even if it means voting for the stupid party.
^
See: Virginia, 2020
If you have no information/opinion you can always leave that issue/seat blank. I remember the first/last time I voted, I went with my sister, after I told her I was surprised at how many issues and positions were on the ballot she asked how I voted on all of them. If i didn’t know who the candidates were or what the issue was and it wasn’t clear on the ballot I just skipped it, she told me she voted for the woman and if there was no woman the R and no on any issues she didn’t understand. The fact that she is one of the smarter people I know and this was how she voted is probably a contributing factor in my not having any faith in voting ever since.
That’s a valid expression of her preferences if “more women in office” is a goal of hers. And honestly, defaulting to “no” on issues is probably a good idea from a libertarian perspective, since very few initiatives are designed to limit government power. Although, there are ballot question writers that are savvy to that mindset and deliberately write things to take advantage.
That’s a big ‘Although’, I’ve seen too many ballot issues where it’s a logic puzzle simply figuring out what a no or yes vote actually means.
Ah, the Swallowswell Gambit.
Jesus I hate everyone…
^^ This is my starting point.
*laughs in Pashto*
If I were an evil and hateful person, I might wish that someone broke into his house and beat him to death with his fireplace poker.
Needz MOAR woodchipper.
The muskets of our founding fathers also did not contain 30-bullet magazines. And if you think your AR-15 will do diddly against the full might and power of the United States military, you need to talk to someone who has served there.
Really channeling Swallowswell here. And what the fuck is a 30-bullet magazine? I dare say that bullets are useless without a casing and a propellant.
The fact that assholes like this have power is proof positive we need a second amendment.
I actually love it when anti-gunners make this comparison because when the Constitution was written, citizens frequently carried the same exact muskets as the military, since part of the concept is that the citizens can become their own military if necessary. So really, every citizen should be allowed to own and carry a select-fire M4 Carbine.
Not sure if you’ve heard, but a bunch of barely-literate goat herders with Soviet-era AKs have given the US military a pretty hard time in recent years. Also, if you’re saying that the US military could someday be turned against citizens, well, you’ve just made a pretty strong argument for strong 2A rights.
Yes, Aaron, please tell Tom Brady about how you have a chip on your shoulder for being picked 24th.
He’s a cunte.
Brady is a cunte, isn’t he.
The Niners did fuck up royally by not picking him.
Well, they didn’t pick Brady either, back in the day. Nobody knows nothing when it comes to the draft.
(that’s a great doc, btw)
Yup, they also f’d that one up (along with everyone else). They had a bit less of an excuse as he was a local boy.
Brady was actually at the game for The Catch.
He very much wanted to be drafted by the Niners.
Green Bay looks like hell so far.
Anyway, I do hope my senator doesn’t get in trouble for this.
I like the cut of her jib, and that is disturbing. (the reading of text in the video is annoying)
This whole situation is ironic considering VA’s motto, flag, and history of defiance. I see this as a test-case. And I think the symbolism is something that is being largely overlooked.
Your Senator sounds a bit like Alex Jones but what she says I believe. *adjust tinfoil hat* I do think they are more afraid of the people than outside forces. Problem is, they are worried about the wrong people.
Has the Green Bay punter started shaving yet? He looks like he’s 14.
Lol agreed he is a young looking lad

49ers running game is eating GB alive
Yep — 17-0 on another rushing TD is looking like a SF-KC matchup in Miami.
Question is if GB finally holds their ground game will SF be able to keep it up
perhaps, it will stop you all from shitposting in there.
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I’ll shitpost where I want.
That said, I believe in exhibiting the appropriate decorum.
You can eat your dinner in a fancy restaurant too.
I have no goose in this game and don’t care, but have decided I am with those rooting against GB due to the State Farm factor.
Excellent choice.
It will also spare us endless commentary about how the first Super Bowl was GB vs KC.
State Farm factor?
The commercials.
Oh. Wasn’t watching.
Mike’s commercials are ruining my game
I’m listening to the game on the radio so I can shitpost here.
#metoo. And because SiriusXM are idiots, I’m listening to the same announcers as you.
And wow do they have a hell of a delay going. 5-ish minutes I think.
Yeah, Game Pass on the NFL app was always a couple of plays behind. And then it would cut out and I’d have to restart the app.
At least you can listen to streaming audio on a desktop computer, so unless the league changes that next year I’m not going to drop the money for Game Pass next season.
Can’t you watch and post?
I’ve seen a couple hundred so far. He is heavily buying in California. It’s not typical here. Hope he keeps it up. Less money for him to spend on his anti gun bullshit,.
Nobody wants an impossible Whopper. It’s more likely to be an impassible Whopper.

God I fucking hate that commercial.
Except on those nights that you’re having smoked duck and butternut squash hash. Like tonight.
I’ve had a couple. I like them.
Hey, Chafed – I was gone all afternoon and only just saw the h/t you gave me in the GlibFit post. Thanks! I’ll sleep better tonight after that recognition.
I know when I get one, I walk taller on Monday.
No doubt. I picked up a 5-pound bag of ground beef (locally produced on the shop owner’s farm outside of town) to be used in a variety of dishes. Last night, I made slider burgers with sweet potato buns and this garlic and onion jam smeared on. They were EXCELLENT.
tOSU player fucks up the fumble. 😡
Er, the snap; you know what I mean.
Yeah, you fumbled just now, but you recovered it to minimize the loss.
You must be behind the play. I’m not talking about the fumble deep in their own territory. Linsley fucked up a snap and the 49ers recovered.
Hey, nice hat.
Thank you.
Same to you (tips hat to you in your hat).
Yeeha!
Yyeeeeehaawww!

Last time I was in the Sceptered Isle, I was with a charming young woman of the SE Asian persuasion, who was wearing a cowboy hat. When we were walking through Egham, young men LEANED OUT OF THEIR CAR WINDOWS and yelled “Yee Haw!” as they drove past.
Expecting the famed English politeness, we were appalled. Perhaps you can explain: WTF?
It’s unusual to see folks wearing such a hat in the UK. I think it’s British dor
[Goram it I hit reply before I dun finished typing]
I think it’s British for “I notice that you are wearing a cowboy hat and that is different weird. We wish to let you know that we are acknowledging your unusual hat, (you cunt).”
Lol….GB has a large uphill battle
Aaron Rogers hasn’t experienced an asspounding like this since…. well… probably last night.
Hi-yo!
wow Do you see the size of the holes the 49ers running back is getting to run through all day long?
I have never seen bigger holes.
Aaron Rogers probably has though.
“He’ll be here all week! Remember to tip your servers.”
These are the jokes, people!!
Rodgers might have been distracted by some of the entertainment option in SF. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
I have never seen bigger holes.
You obviously haven’t met Winston’s Mom.

Hey-OOOOO!!
Serious journalism, for serious people
Here in Wyoming, where every other car is a pickup, and cowboy hats and boots are a working man’s uniform, the 2020 election worries voters, who fear the election of a Democrat will upend their way of life, force the coal mines to close and the oil wells to stop pumping. Force them to pay higher taxes, force them to give up their AR-15 rifles and high-capacity magazines. Force them to subsidize the health care of immigrants. Force them to pay for college loans for city kids. Force. Force. Force.
——-
Wyoming’s approximately 578,000 residents, most of them white and living on land seized from Native Americans, have long prided themselves on a frontier spirit of rugged individualism and independence. They also see themselves as a world apart from the nation’s big coastal states, all of which tend to vote Democrat. For generations, they’ve voted Republican and argued that big-city liberals can’t possibly understand what life is like where there’s just six people per square mile. New York City, by contrast, has 27,000 people per square mile.
But the outside world is increasingly moving in a different direction, where global warming is settled science, inclusivity, diversity and tolerance are honored, and access to health care is seen as a fundamental human right. The United Nations even has set a 2030 goal for achieving universal health coverage internationally. That’s setting up an increasingly stark contrast for Wyomingites who see a Trump victory as essential to preserving their freedoms and independence.
Haha, what a bunch of ignorant hicks. The place should be turned into a theme park.
Honest question: what tribes lived in Wyoming?
I beleive the Shoshone were in the area…or are you speaking in terms of Statehood on?
Pre-statehood.
It’s very easy for me to get where the Indians originally came from and where they are now completely mixed up. OK has lots of tribes originally from the east coast and a few from the Great Plains. It seems a little odd to me that the western settlement would have pushed all that many tribes off their land, just because of how late that occurred but I could be completely wrong. My education didn’t cover that.
Canada’s so-called First Nations ethnically cleansed the Zeroth Nations south and east.
Apparently, because of the railroad and the tactics developed on the eastern half of the US, western tribes got pushed off toot sweet. But since they didn’t get pushed to OK, my (Choctaw) teachers didn’t care about them.
The Commanche had kicked a bunch of other tribes out of that area just before the white man came.
Unpossible. The North American natives were in total harmony with their neighbors and environment.
According to wikipedia, the Commanche were Shoshone at one point.
This doesn’t even seem to be labeled commentary.
The United Nations even has set a 2030 goal for achieving universal health coverage internationally.
Not the UN!
I had no idea.
Well, if the UN set a goal, who am I to argue?
I’m sure Zimbabwe will meet that goal.
That sounds like a very tolerant person who wrote that.
And are also at least plurality white and “living on land seized from Native Americans”.
Holy shit, that’s impressively arrogant.
“…global warming is settled science, inclusivity, diversity and tolerance are honored, and access to health care is seen as a fundamental human right.”
And there you have it. Everything this person says can be safely ignored.

Since you gave me some advice about women, I’ll tell you that I think I need more on from that bartender lass you advised me about.
Today she barely chatted with me. When it was busy, I expected that. The staff have a job to do and I won’t interrupt it. When things quieted down, she’d walk past me, not even looking at me, and chat up a guy that I’ve never seen before. She was all over him. When the guy that I think is her boyfriend but she calls a friend showed up, he sat down near that guy.
Then I overheard the bartenders chatting. One said to the one I’m interested in, “I tried to get (the guy I think is the boyfriend) to sit some place else. But he’s a big boy, he’ll figure out what’s going on.” The bartender I’m interested in said, “He’s a big boy. He actually kinda enjoys this sorta stuff.”
It looked like when the new guy got his tab he and the bartender I’m interested in exchange phone numbers. I’m not certain, but I think that is what happened.
The most the bartender I’m interested in said to me was after that new guy paid. She asked if I’d like another beer. I said, “Should I get another?” She hemmed and hawed a bit, and said, “Yes!” I said sure. That was the most she said to me the whole night.
I paid when the shift changed. The new guy left. I hung out a bit, finished my last beer and water, used the men’s room. When I walked out of men’s room, I saw the bartender I was interested in. She smiled and waved. I smiled and waved and left.
The more I think about that conversation I overheard between the two bartenders, the more I think I dodged a bullet.
Anyways, thanks for the advice. I hope I have a better opportunity to use it elsewhere.
Agreed. She seemed so normal, the way you’ve described her before, but today, she sounds like a drama queen who’s setting something up for her personal amusement.
Watch out for this: If you keep your polite distance (she noticed, trust me), be courteous, be warmly but distantly polite, she may see you as a challenge and turn on the jets.
Do not get sucked in.
She seemed normal to me too based on past conversations.
I made a snap decision.
I’ve always had more fun Swing dancing near Philly than near Boston. I see a dance near where I grew up and that I like has back to back dances this upcoming weekend. There is also another reason I won’t go into publicly but does not involve women I’m interesting dating/having sex with. There is supposed to be some snow coming into New England this upcoming weekend, but if it isn’t that bad or doesn’t happen, I’m heading down to Philly next weekend.
That might help get my mind off of this bartender lass.
I thought the longer-range forecast called for rain, but it might be colder up your way.
Current forecast for New England is snow and ice Saturday into Sunday.
I don’t want to come back to a drive full of frozen snow with a wall down at the base of the driveway from the town DPW clearing my road.
Swing dancing?! ?
Yes.
Thought I like songs like this better for dancing.
This song was one of the favorites of one of the dancers credited with creating the dance.
Oh, that’s sweet!
It is a lot of fun. I got away from dancing in the Boston area for various reasons. Promoters started picking bands I didn’t like, a lack of time with working at the startup, plus other reasons I won’t talk about publicly.
And Thank you again.
Do not get sucked in
Hell,I thought that was the point. I’ve been going about this wrong all along.
I want to apologize for that but it was just sitting right there like a big shiny apple.
It all depends on what gets sucked in and how.
I just drop things in comments to see who does what with them.
Yeah, she’s not into you and she’s recalibrating.
It could be worse — I had a short (but far too long) fling with a woman who though I was absolutely good enough for her… as long as noone else knew about it.
I was absolutely good enough for her… as long as noone else knew about it.
That sounds like a perfect relationship at my age.
I had a short fling with a woman rebounding from a three year relationship.
She wanted a relationship, and wanted it public. She even said to me, “I don’t want to be your dirty little secret”.
I figured out not fast enough that she and I weren’t compatible, and ended it not fast enough.
Look, the important thing is that you tried. You learned a thing you can use elsewhere.
Yep. Thanks.
Run away!!!
Yep. Thanks.
It’s one thing if you’re looking for a casual hookup, but you do not want a cute bartender as your steady girlfriend. Recipe for trouble.
Right you want A fine stripper girlfriend and a gold top Les Paul.
As much as I hate to agree with you that is an awesome song!

Someone forgot to tell the Packers the poop is supposed to remain on the streets.
Well, the Packers look like ass.
“Well shucks, I was a damn fool!” said the Liz Warren voter, as representatives of the Ministry of Plenty inventoried his possessions.
Did that 49er just spot the Packer so he wouldn’t fall on his head?
Yes i believe so watching the replay. It was to be nice for the asswhooping they are giving them
Possibly – nobody wants to see anyone get hurt like that.
Quick thinking. That would’ve been a for sure broken neck.
Heh, that was nice of him.
Wife and I just commented on that as well. That could have been ugly. Nice move.
Well, that’s the game. The packers ain’t KC. No coming back from this one.
SP is… not happy. I am being very genteel.
She’s not the only one who’s pissed.
That locker room in a few minutes is going to be shitty for GB
I’d be reminding them that the SF coach was up 28-3 in the 3rd quarter a couple years ago…
Perhaps it would be prudent for you and your friend to retreat to your lab?
Tell her at least this Sunday we did not have to listen to Chris Collinsworth announce a game so it makes it a good day regardless of who wins or loses. I finally figured out why he is so annoying. He won’t let a play unfold without talking in his nasally whiny voice about the slightest thing. Aikman will let a play go and then make a relevant comment. Speaking of Aikman, I saw one of his old squeezes perform recently. She sucked bad.
Don’t look, Ethel.
ESPN has the 49ers win % at 99.6%. lol
Oh no! If the NYT pipes in we are screwed!
See post#94….Moster is picking GB defense apart. Jesus
14 carries for 160 yards and 3 TDs. In one half. Ouch.
Looks like State Farm only gets half of their wish for the Super Bowl.
So fun memory. Was in our Cali 18 select hockey team decades ago and after 2nd period our coach walked in and dumped 18 bottles of water on the locker room floor…thats how “hard” we played up until then.
I guess I won’t be able to bundle Mahomes and auto…
“How do you get back in this thing, Coach?”
“We’re gonna need to put some points on the board, I guess.”
I don’t have TV, how GB doin’?
0 to 27, SF
They’re within 4 touchdowns.
Favre could do it, he did….
He could certainly throw six INTs.
Aww…you beat me to it.
…play for the Niners.
So who wins between KC and SF? I’m rooting for the Chiefs but idk.
From an AP article on the impending VA gun riots:
Police plan to limit access to Capitol Square to only one entrance and have warned rally-goers that they may have to wait hours to get past security screening.
It’s like they want this to turn violent.
It’s total bullshit.
That’s exactly what the police did in Charlottesville, isn’t it.
See comment #83 from the Rebel Scum.
Lets take a normally peaceful group and push them up against a wall while telling them we aren’t taking their rights….then…take those rights and limit their access in and out of an area they are not welcome.
a normally peaceful group
A subgroup (average gun-owners) that commits less crime overall than any other subgroup.
C’mon now, you’re playing their games. What the fuck is a subgroup? aren’t people who don’t commit crimes a sub group? what the hell is an ‘average gun-owner’ Sounds an awful lot like the selective defining of ‘mass shootings’ the gun grabbers like to twist around.
Twisted or not, this is a case of the government restricting one natural right in service of restricting another natural right. This is the definition of fascism
It’s like they want this to turn violent.
I believe King Klansman and his merry band of tyrants in the legislature want that.
the police did in Charlottesville
They failed to do their jobs, which was to keep the peace and allow the monument removal protesters have their permitted event while keeping non-permitted actors (Antifa) separate.
Their job was to do what the state wanted, which was to allow violence against the wrongthinkers.
I believe King Klansman and his merry band of tyrants in the legislature want that.
Playing with fire seems to be an understatement. You’d think that for how much the confederacy seems to be on their minds, they’d be more wary of pissing off a bunch of armed southerners.
TD!
I was thinking about Alex Smith versus Mahomes.
It seems Alex was okay with being runner-up. Being a runner-up seems to have never even occurred to Mahomes.
Bomb Cyclone aftermath in Newfoundland.
Many residents of Newfoundland opened their doors Friday and Saturday to find a wall of snow trapping them within their own home. One family opened their garage door to find the snow piled up to more than half of the entrance. Another family opened the door for their dog, who began climbing and digging through the snow.
Spending time on the various teams’ SB Nation sites & reading the comments over the last two weeks has really driven home that the most important part of being a football fan is to bang out endless posts about how the NFL is rigged to favor certain narratives & the opposing team is only winning because they are being allowed to blatantly hold on *every* *single* *play*, and that simultaneously your defensive coordinator is a moron who can’t see that his defensive schemes are hopelessly inadequate. Never once will the thought be expressed that if the other team is actually cheating on every single play with the connivance of the NFL, then surely your defensive scheme doesn’t matter (how can you even say it sucks when you never see it get to work against an opponent being held to the confines of the rulebook?). Not one iota of digital ink will be spilled questioning why, if the NFL is so blatantly rigged, your team was allowed to get to the point they did, or why the Cowboys haven’t been to an NFC Championship game since the Jews left Egypt, because surely that would drive ratings & merchandise sales. Nope, it’s all a giant conspiracy, and the only ones who can see it are YOUR FAN BASE. The national media has also apparently been bought off to cover the Big Lie. Also, since the opposing team has a troll or two in this gamethread, that is evidence of how the entire opposing fanbase are giant douches who everyone in the NFL knows are the worst fans (ignore the fact that you said the exact same thing to an entirely different fanbase last week, and ignore your own trolls on their game thread).

Six pass attempts through three quarters. Leather helmet era stuff.
The Niners don’t pass until they need to.
Good god…wow

I’m not hating it.
Have the Chiefs ever played the Niners in a Super Bowl?
No. The Chiefs haven’t played Super Bowl since you could buy a plane ticket from the stewardess on the flight and light a Chesterfield right after.
The Chiefs have only been in 1 Superbowl.
Correction: SB I Packers beat Chiefs 35-10 before Chiefs beat Viqueens in SB IV.
Two. They lost SB I to the Packers.
Oops, wasn’t trying to pile on Mojeaux.
Easy to forget about the Packers about now… KC MO(jeaux) and I are prepping for SB LIV.
2 Super Bowls. Super bowl 1 vs the Packers and Suoer Bowl 4 vs the Vikings. They beat the Vikings, lost to the Packers.
I FORGOT!!!
It’s a big deal because it’s been 50 years exactly. Superbowl 4, Superbowl 54.
Like the Royals won the World Series in 1985 and then exactly 30 years later in 2015.
You aren’t counting SB I? (I know they didn’t call them Super Bowls then)
No, I just forgot and didn’t check my facts before I hit POST.
Heh, heh. Luckily you can count on this group to tell you when you are wrong. I’m excited for the Super Bowl (and the halftime show should be great).

How dare you not remember who played in Super Bowl I and Super Bowl IV

The correct answer is “Da Hitler”
I LOL’d
I retract my spanking comment. Now we have a game. KC scored 3 TD’s in less than 4 min’s last week.
Fucking Packers. Hopefully the 49ers can extend their lead. 14 isn’t enough against the fudge packers with this much time left.
Muauhahahhhhaa!
I wouldn’t put anything past the Pack.
Yeah, they’re behind in the 4th qtr, but it’s Aaron Rogers…
Yep, let’s see the Niners answer here.
I can almost taste the cheese flavored tears of Wisconsin. Make this happen
Now I am rooting for GB. I like come backs. I have that privilege cuz I don’t care.

Now they are done. Like burnt fondue.

Fuckin’ A! Those wonderful cheesehead tears.
Aaron Rogers is obviously a very good QB. But, he’s become a bit of an asshole in his old age. So, I’m very happy the 49ers won.
At the risk of having drugs fall out my ass, this made me do a double take.

I’ll take that action.

Grease was 1978. I hope you don’t mean Grease 2.
I discovered it accidentally. Bought it on a whim when I found a VHS of it for cheap and ended up watching it a dozen times or more over the next few years. It’s been a while, need to watch it again.
Always shocked me how poorly that and Big Trouble did when released, when both are clearly the two greatest movies every made*.
Also for you
virginsboardgamers, this game is really fun. There’s another game based on the same premise out there that isn’t nearly as good, so be careful if purchasing. It’s like a slightly breezier, less complicated (but still sufficiently complex to satisfy serious gamers) version of Battlestar Galactica.*spoken as a big Carpenter fan – YMMV
Yep. Big Trouble and The Thing are among the dozen or so movies I rewatch every year. They’re so damn enjoyable.
Thanks for the link to the boardgame. Looks very cool!

Wow, all four games last weekend were great, but today’s were pretty boring .. the last one being a total snoozefest. Hoping SB might be interesting. I do like watching Mahomes play.
And now begins the inevitable articles “Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Birth Opens Old Wounds”
FTA:
“While some have focused their ire on the team’s name, others have noted how their AFC title win has further divided the state.
“Missouri voted for Clinton twice and Obama narrowly lost the state in 2008” said NYU political science professor Britt Lancaster. “But, now it has no Democratic senators and the state has been fertile ground for Trump’s racially charged politics. The Chiefs appearing in the Super Bowl has exposed the toxic masculinity and casual racism that has gripped the state ever since Democrats could no longer win election there.”
Lancaster went on to note, that she had studied the demographics of Missouri and had noticed how much more significant racial divides had become since Missouri last was a reliably Democratic state.
“The demographics haven’t really changed substantially, but white voters have obviously become more racist ever since they stopped voting Democrat.” Lancaster said. “The data doesn’t lie. Voters are electing Republicans which has a strong correlation with racism.”
Lancaster’s work has also exposed other states that have embraced racial scapegoating.
“West Virginia, for example, use to vote solidly Democratic and now they don’t. Only racism can explain that.”
When asked for comment, newly elected Republican Senator Hawley dismissed the findings, questioning whether “a professor who has never even been to Missouri was really qualified to make such broad accusations”. Lancaster said this is the typical deflection that she has experienced with her work.
“Hawley, himself, proves the accuracy of our work. He defeated a Democratic senator. That’s racism pure and simple. I don’t have to visit Middle America to pass judgment on it.” Lancaster contended.”
Burt Lancaster is an underappreciated movie star.
I appreciate him.
He’s one of the kings of Film Noir.
Indeed. The Train. Birdman of Alcatraz. Elmer Gantry. Gunfight at O.K. Corral. Seven Days in May. The Professionals. Atlantic City. Local Hero.
The man was a great actor.
Local Hero is such a great movie.
No mention of Sweet Smell of Success?
My goodness.
OKAY, Okay. I was trying to get the highlights. But, you’re right. That one deserves inclusion.
‘Nuff said.
/#CrapHound
That almost sounds like it’s from the Bee. ?
This is satire, I hope.
I’m pretty sure it is from the deep reaches of TGA’s mind. (I hope)
If so, it’s pretty damn good.
I thought the satire was implied. Not even an NYU professor could be so oblivious
A Columbia professor on the other hand….
Now THAT’S funny!
Satire?
Is it racism if 90% of African-Americans vote for Democrats?
“Trump’s racially charged politics”
“Voters are electing Republicans which has a strong correlation with racism.”
So says the party of identity politics. It is all projection all of the time with those shitweasels.
I co-founded Occupy Wall Street. Now I’m headed to Davos. Why?
Which is the Davos that meets to discuss who is replacing Epstein in the pedo pipeline?
Now this sounds like satire, but it’s reality which is disturbing to consider
Lots of cameras to put yourself in front if, I would imagine.
The really powerful people don’t even go to Davos. They kick back and send their proxies instead, or something. Whatever happened to Bohemian Grove? Is that any fun? Shirley Bilderberg is where you really want to swing your geopolitical dingus? Bilderberg schmilderberg; the ??? ???? teleport to the ice caverns on the dark side of the Moon to convene about the fate of Terran civilization. Good luck getting an invite to that love-in ?
Mo asked you a question earlier and you confirmed you are a brit of a certain local. You ever work in oil and gas exploration?
No never, although I have a cousin who was in petrochem doing geological work.
Your smartassery which I appreciate reminded me of a guy I worked with and wondered if he found this place and was you. We americans see the UK as a small island and you all know each other. My experience there consists of multiple trips through Heathrow and a day in London.
I’m glad you appreciate my buffoonery. Alas I was a TOS comments lurker, then a Glibs lurker, now a Glib. There’s only so many degrees of separation. Of course there are people I would rather be infinite degrees away from, and those I plain old don’t know. The only person thus far that I’m aware of who knows about glibs is my sister (if you’re reading this, sis, FUCK OFF, SLAVER!) because I thought she’d enjoy that Subaru Horror Theatre about the youtube comments.
Folks Are Having a Field Day Over This Penis-Themed Nail Art
Art makes the world a better place.
Lol at “going viral”
State of the Union
Need some input, by what is probably many of you Glibs who understand such things, from a corporate IT and/or HR perspective.
This evening my wife was looking at the company HR website to check on her employee page — they started using a new program a few months ago, and she wanted to make sure all her contact info was in there.
But unfortunately, although everything else seemed reasonably accurate, under her ‘status’ setting it says ‘Terminated”; then ‘status since’ it says “January 11 2020.”
Now she’s freaking out that she might have been fired 8 days ago, despite no one telling her, and despite her boss having a two-hour phone meeting with her two days ago to plan their goals for the next six months.
I’ve told her it’s obviously some inputting mistake, or somehow something in the system hiccuped. I have to think it would be highly unusual for you to be terminated eight days ago, and your division boss to not have said anything, in fact no one said anything — and if indeed she’d been terminated, she probably wouldn’t even have access to the company HR website. I only added that she should get it taken care of ASAP in case it screws with her payroll or benefits, but I’m sure she’s not suddenly unemployed.
But she’s understandably worried. I said if it bothers her that much, text her boss, it’s not like he wouldn’t know if she was fired. She doesn’t want to contact anyone on a Sunday night, though.
Are any of you familiar enough with such things to say “hey, don’t worry, weird stuff happens, chances are very good that this is just something unintentional that has nothing to do with your job status”? Your feedback might help calm a nervous wife — and tonight is our 24th wedding anniversary, so it would be nice to get this off her mind!
My advice: get her drunk and tell her to work on her resume, which more productive than fretting.
It is most likely a glitch because people are inept, but if she is that worried tell her to stop being a silly goose and text her boss.
New system plus weird results = totally normal.
If she were really termed, all her access would have been automatically revoked. She shouldn’t stress unduly.
(bona fides: multi-decade IT dork)
“If she were really termed, all her access would have been automatically revoked. She shouldn’t stress unduly.”
But people are inept and/or make mistakes so it is also possible that she is termed and the system did not work correctly.
That would involve both her being termed 8 days ago without her being informed _and_ the systems not revoking a terminated employee’s access.
“Entities should not be multiplied without necessity.”
This. (Also multi-decade IT dork and recent victim of this exact process.)
Tell her not to worry.
It is very easy in poorly implemented, or new systems which have not been thoroughly tested to end up with bad data. Odds are the data in that system is bad.
She should contact her supervisor and HR to get it corrected. It is unlikely she was fired eight days ago and not informed/locked out.
Yes, my primary job is keeping a computer HR system running. data integrety is easy to screw up if the controls are not all in place and properly enforced.
She might couch the contact this way: “I checked in the new system and it obviously has a mistake. It says I’m terminated. I think you need to look into this because there are probably lots of other employees that were mistakenly listed, too, and it needs to be corrected before you have dozens them freaking out. The HR and IT people will look really bad, and morale will suffer, if the employees find these kinds of coding errors.”
“there are probably lots of other employees that were mistakenly listed, too”
A fine point – rare is the error like this where only one person is affected.
I am not in HR or corporate IT but damn right text her boss and ask wtf?
Tech-stuff aside, it’s worth a Sunday night text – it’s still early there.
Exactly. Unusual comms is taboo past 8pm in my book.
I get texted by the CEO (several levels above me) randomly at any time day or night. I turn the ringer off at 9Pm and on at maybe 7 or 8 am.
Wow, great responses and so quick! You’ve all made quite a difference, my wife says to thank you a ton, she feels so much better.
Bonus: wife got to see what an awesome community this, and the kind of support that exists — and perhaps now she won’t look at me quite as funny when I’m reading through the daily links on my phone.
Yeah, I take static from the spousal unit sometimes for being on the phone with you lot, but you’re my peeps.
And he spends at least 6 hours a day on freaking YouTube so I don’t apologize.
Just in case, tell her to grab her red stapler.
Letting her go without telling her (and giving her a final paycheck on the spot as required by California law) and, not only that, letting her show up to work for a week after she’s supposedly been let go just seems like such a major, lawsuit and labor board investigation generating screw-up that I can’t imagine it is actually the case. Data entry screwup seems infinitely more likely.
The spousal unit is dealing with a new system at her job, where people are showing terminated and are currently without insurance, including someone with a ready-to-deliver wife.
So, if your wife is still getting paid, the situation is probably (at least) better than it appears. Much like what JFP says.
My goodness! Are these systems all built around the same core program?!?
I’ve had to hire and fire. Every company had a New Hire Process and Fire Process. Fire process = cutoff access *while* the person is being informed. Companies get real nervous about the damage a terminated employee can do.
Call the boss and scream, “You can’t fire me cuz I quit, MFer!”
+1 Johnny Paycheck
Having dealt with numerous HR software & system changes, I’m guessing it’s a glitch. Sometimes during a switchover to new systems, personnel data gets expired in one system when it’s been transferred to a new system. Probably a bug from that process. That’s my guess.
It’s extremely unlikely they’d terminate your wife with no communication at all, especially if she had a conversation about future goals with her boss. And, as you point out, she wouldn’t have access to the new system.
I don’t suppose she has a red Swingline stapler? If so, then, yeah, she’s probably fired. But on the bright side, it may take awhile for the paychecks to stop coming.

I left the tv on after the game ended. Local news, christ what a waste of time.
So….an asshole?
Me? Ya, been called that before.
No!! I won’t have it! Where’s the asshole-slinger? I shall have words with them post haste…
Local news
GO!! I’ve been trying to track you down for….well, I can’t exactly remember.
You still in the Metroplex?
Also, on behalf of myself and Chafed–you go any future movie review posts?
Yep, been here since 97′ give or take. If you ever need to speak w/ me directly, feel free to email admin – they’ll get it to me.
Not really on the movie reviews. I did it early on because I wanted to help the site get up & running, besides just handling setting up our banking etc. It isn’t too much work – I’m just a man who enjoys his 3-5 hrs of free time every evening : )
If I get bored I may go back to them, but it isn’t the plan right now.
? Understood.
I’ll get a message through, too.
If you don’t hear back in a few days…try again. Sloop, OMWC, SP, & a few others have my cell number.
Gotcha–email already sent to SP.
Trying a new show on Amazon Prime (which will probably turn paid when it gets to a second season) called The Boys. It’s silly and weird and gross, but it’s fun and I can’t look away. Then I find out it’s a Garth Ennis project, who did Preacher, which I loved, so of course I like this silly and weird and gross thing.
The Boys is awesome and not that new.
I found it darkly hilarious too.
Can’t wait for season 2.
Also love The Expanse.
New *to me*. Hell, everything’s new to me.
The missus & I enjoyed it. I like Karl Urban quite a bit, though. Some actors I just like, unreasonably, regardless of if they’re doing a good job in any given film. Karl, Guy Pierce, Vincent Cassel, a few like that.
The Boys is great and Karl Urban is always fun.
Jon Bernthal is one of the actors I think makes everything better – his presence made Wind River better than it was, much like he does with most movies.
I like Bernthal fairly well, though haven’t seen Wind River. It was weird seeing him play Lee Iacocca though in Ford v. Ferrari.
My take: Iacocca is good now!
It was strange but also it’s Jonny B so I just like it.
If you are a movie fan there are a lot of character actor types who are always excellent. I mean M. Emmet Walsh has been in dozens of great movies, and I may have let out a little “squee” when I saw him in Knives Out.
He’s still kicking?
Good for him!
Exactly. The man saved Braddock’s ass in Missing In Action for Pete’s sake.
Well, he was also the kind of cop that, in the old days, used to drop N bombs….
/he had that going for him…I guess
Wait… there’s stuff on Prime you have to pay extra for, on top of Prime??
No. It will always be free I think;
No, but some movies are on Prime for a limited time; after that, you might have to rent/buy.
You never know what they will rotate in and out of Prime.
Amazon originals are free.
I forgot it was an Amazon original.
I’ve been burned on series before, though. First season free, all other seasons paid or you have to get a subscription with Starz or whatever.
Sme HBO series are free. I got Boardwalk Empire free.
The best show on Prime is Patriot. Ask Sir Digby. The best show. Add it to your watchlist right now.
CJ speaks the troof on this one. Very glad I was convinced to watch.
Behold! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pstGC4GY9ao
Sir Digby, you’re double great.
Why, thank you, my good m-
Wait….that’s not a crack about my ass, is it?
This is a correct opinion. Patriot is amazing.
Slumbrew is our Cool Rick.
Hear, hear!!
I’ll take it.
If I don’t take it easy with the carbs, I’m going to look like that. Again. (Left part and all)
I hear ya, slum.
The Boys is good.
Fun fact/humorous anecdote: Hughie is played by Jack Quaid, the son of Randy Quaid and Meg Ryan. When I told my wife that, her reaction was: “Wow… you’d think he’d be better looking.”
She’s not exactly wrong.
You mean Dennis Quaid, but the point stands.
SHUT THE FUCK UP LIBTARD
*ahem* oh yeah, Dennis Quaid.
Umm, Sexy Dennis Quaid, thankyouverymuch.
Nobody pisses ice cubes like Dennis.
^this
Oh my, this.
He looks like Michael Shannon.
Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp’s ‘Proudest’ Set Prank Had a Crew Member Crying Over Her Wedding
Awesome! I should pitch them my ida for a prank show set at a maternity ward, where after a woman gives birth we bring the child to a nursery in another hospital – a nursery staffed by REAL nurses so no one gets hurt – and we tell the woman that their baby died.
Then two or three weeks later we bring their not-dead baby to them!
PRANK GOLD!
Don’t steal this or I will sue you.
On the season finale, when you bring the live baby in, have it be of a different race than the parents.
*edit*
Then accuse them of racism if they act upset.
Yeah, this was the angle I would have played up for the bulk of the season.
How do you top racism? Stillbirths, of course.
I’d acquit her in a double homicide trial.
You aren’t suggesting she send them to the Upside Down, are you??
I’ve no idea what you’re talking about
? (my shocked emoji)
I would represent her pro bono.
What are you talking about–she got over it…gosh!
So a 15 year old now, and what, 12? 13? then? Sounds like a typical kid thinking dumb stuff is funny.

Muffins are quite funny creatures.
How long before she goes by Meghan Windsor?
Kinda had to, now. Queen is allegedly mulling whether they can even use the website “SussexRoyal.com”

The idea that Patrick Mahomes is “African American” is ludicrous. He’s more Irish than African, both culturally and DNA-wise.
In high school I took the ACT. In Oklahoma, if you scored s certain impressive points score, you got an automatic Oklahoma Staye Regents scholarship to use at any Oklahoma public Uni for 5 years.
But I was puzzled to see that if you were “male” you needed a 32!to qualify.?if female, a 31. Huh. I read in: 28 if black, 26 if Hispanic, and a mere 24 if Native American.
That’s when I first felt the pang of sexism and racism: oh, so we lesser beings need your charity?
I scored 34 in my sophomore year just for spite.
*(caveat: not sure Australian aborigines are the same species…)
And oh, by the way, Asians had the same threshold score as whites!
So much for the “cultural difference” excuse for the rest.
Well, it’s like Kamala Harris. “African-American” when she’s the daughter of an Indian immigrant and a Jamaican immigrant.
I happened across All in the Family the other day while I was waiting for something else to come on, and it struck me how political the show is. You know… Archie the racist bad guy, Meathead the virtue-speaking good guy. It could have sprung from the front page of yesterday’s HuffPo or Salon. The episode came out in 1971.
This country has been paralyzed by this shit my entire life, and then some.
Don’t forget that, against any kind of sense I can make of it, Matt and Trey couldn’t wait to work with Norman Lear.
And, he was happy to work with them, apparently.
I shudder to ask, but work on what? Is this another part of the “apology tour” they seem to be working on lately?
Oh, hLear helped out on SP a few years back.
OK, it was 17 years ago (really? OK…): https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Norman-Lear-to-Co-Write-South-Park-9088267.php
LOL I can’t tell the difference between yesterday and 17 years ago either.
If you read, he was watching (prior to helping out) with his 14-year old kid. He’s now 30-31, and Nom is 97.
Good on him for having functioning gear in his late 60’s, I guess.
But, yeah–didn’t realize I was holding that in my head for a decade and a half.
Yeah, I noticed that. I can’t imagine having a kid in my 60s (or ever). I guess that’s what the help is for.
One of the best All In The Family episodes was ‘The Elevator Story’, wherein Archie gets stuck in a broken elevator with a black businessman (Roscoe Lee Brown), a panicky secretary (Eileen Brennan), and a Puerto Rican couple with the wife going into labor (Hector Elizondo and Edith Diaz). When Archie finds out Roscoe’s character is from Larchmont rather than (his assumption) Harlem, he quips – “I bet Larchmont is popping its buttons over that.” That show was brilliant and one of the very few US adaptations of UK programming that is better than the original (Til Death Us Do Part).

I was so very disappointed when Capaldi left. He had the potential of being the best Doctor since Tom Baker but was stymied by horrible writing and an ever woker BBC.
