The Niners has the most exciting team in the NFL this year. They have a combo of old school smashball with plenty of hits and blocking and new schemes that involve lots of line movement. Obviously I am biased but I watched every game they played this year. They have a tremendous defense and a underrated offense and are going against the best new QB since Brady came out. It should be a good game.

KSuellington

I did as well Spud. Them leaving the Stick for the South Bay really tested my fandom, and then a bunch of years of Jed York being an idiot was really bad. I grew up during the heyday of the Niners and have vivid memories of watching The Catch on my parents’ 19 inch color TV. I liked that Jed seemed to learn his lesson and at the NFC championship, he took a back seat to who he picked to run his team. They have a really good all around team and I love that they have a QB that is content to be a team player. Looking forward to them winning on Sunday.
It’d be pretty damn hard to top last year’s yawn fest.
I’m mean, I get that you hate the Chiefs and don’t care about the matchup, but a points line around 55 has got to top that.

Over/under is 54.5. Mahomes can go ahead and do that, but I doubt it will go over. He has to contend with an actual defense this Sunday.
Trigger Hippie
on January 31, 2020 at 10:35 pm
You think? I’m not a betting man, but if I was I’d take the over.
Honestly, I think it’s the scoring is going to be based off of both team’s d-line play. If the Niners front four can bottle up Mahomes and throw off his timing routes, they have a shot. Though KC’s o-line has been quietly very good the last half of the year.
On the Chiefs side, the d-line plays a lot of 4-3 Over against zone run schemes. That puts a shit-ton of pressure on the interior lineman to cover multiple gaps and cutback lanes. They’ve gotten a helluva lot better at that over the last two months but San Fran is the best team at using those types of runs. Plus Shanahan is great at disguising multiple run types out of the same package.
Should be fun. I honestly can’t say who I think will win, but if the d-lines can’t do those things I see a game with both teams scoring in the thirties.
KSuellington
on January 31, 2020 at 11:54 pm
It should be a fun SB. I think the Niners D line holds it down and makes it tough for Mahomes. He is still gonna get three TDs and a field goal or two. He is not gonna get away with what he did with the Texans and the Titans. If the Niners go up early they will hold it.

My son has recently become interested in woodworking and carpentry, and going up to my grandfather’s house for his funeral has really kicked it into high gear. We spent a few days going through all the stuff in his basement, which included his workshop – before he got too old to do it anymore, Grandpa was a hell of an amateur craftsman.
However, despite his fervent desire to have his own workshop, we have no space for one in our little house and no garage either. So….my son has decided we should build a free-standing one in our backyard ourselves. On the one hand, I admire his determination and imagination. On the other hand, though, I don’t think I really have any of the skills to do it. He even wants us to pour our own concrete slab as a foundation. I’ve never worked with concrete in my life, but since he collected Grandpa’s extensive library of how-to books and brought them home, he has read about it and thinks it will be simple. Oy….

We did a huge shop behind a friends house and had a customer who drove a concrete truck come pour his excess for the foundation. They had a minimum and as soon as there was enough left over he just stopped by and dropped it in the form for us. We did the finish work, mostly with two by fours and a garden hose.

Now, you wanna talk about concrete, then the man you wanna talk to will probably be Playa Manhattan. I guess you all know Playa Manhattan; he lives out on Route 13 out on that maggot farm. Now, Playa don’t like it when you get his maggot farm confused with a worm farm. A worm farm is for worms, and a maggot farm is for maggots, and Playa’s got the biggest maggots in the state. Three feet long. Of course, now Playa believes this might be due to the fact that St. Smithen’s Medical Facility has been dumping their waste on his property. Interesting thing about three-foot maggots is that… that, well, one day the china disappeared, and then the next day his television disappeared, and then a few days after that, his ’57 Chevy disappeared. But there they are: the world’s biggest maggots. Anyway, one day, Playa and I were standing in the kitchen, giant maggots crawling across the floor, and Playa turns to me, and he says, “Do you ever go to make a pork sausage, and find that it’s got hairs all over it?” and he gives me a look that still chills me to this day.

I didn’t think he’d deliver. But in the past few years, I’ll admit I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Trump.”
Hanson said he saw Trump as a bit of a “grifter” in 2016 but has been enthused by his judicial appointments and the performance of the economy.
He added, “I’ll admit I was wrong. And if I had to do it over again, I would have voted for the president then.”

Libraries that don’t comply will lose their funding. Library employees providing material deemed inappropriate would be hit with a misdemeanor charge and liable for a $500 fine or a maximum jail sentence of a year, according to the bill’s current language.

Best work ever CPRM. I wondered why Bolton turned on Trump and now I know. He stole the mustache just like the election. But to be honest, I don’t believe the news reports of his books. I think it is a setup and he never wrote those things. I might be wrong but I am feeling red herring on it all.

As I’ve said before, I prefer moving downward than upward. But, time and time again, we get stuck at the nation/tribe level. Indeed, a national government can, at times, be more injurious to liberty than a global behemoth in that it is a) more “efficient” and b) in charge of a population small enough to pay attention to each individual.
In short, a balloon can deflate and get smaller until it runs out of air or it can be so filled with air that it eventually pops. Both have the same end result .

While I can see that sharing this information in a bar during a social setting is rather uncouth, there is no “made up” story about one’s vagina tearing during childbirth and having to get stitches in it.
As far as I know, it was made up. Turns out instead of being the cousin of the bartender we’d been hitting on all summer, she was her girlfirend, which for some reason telling me this story was somehow, um, showing how we were bigots for not assuming the bartender was gay, or something. It was all very odd.

Oh yeah I used to be like that when I worked long hours, nights, and often weekends, too. Feeling like free time is wasted is very depressing.
I sighed and breathed out a profanity in my native tongue.
“You’ll be fine if the bet’s not too big and you attend the fight, you should be fine,” Drea said.
“What makes you say that?”
“Well, it’s on the Emperor’s birthday, and you’ve got a decent seat, right?”
“So?”
Drea let out an exasperated noise and shook her head. “You really are clueless.”
“Of course I am. I am halfway around the world from what is familiar.”
“On the Emperor’s birthday, it’s traditional for him to give out gifts to those in attendance and food to the crowds outside. Since those in better seats tend to be more influential, they also tend to get better gifts. Unless you were a reckless idiot with your betting, you should be fine.”
“Well, Dug has been known to be reckless,” Peter said.
“Watch it,” I said.
“How much did you bet, anyway?” Peter asked.
I mumbled the number sheepishly.
“I’m afraid I didn’t catch that.”
“Three hundred soldari.”
“You idiot,” Peter said.
“Okay, no more gambling,” I said. “I’m bad at it.”
“We can’t do that, we still have the big gamble left.”
“What would that be?”
“That sailing east from Orkahaugr gets us home.”
“Of course it will. I’d show you the math, but-”
Silence fell over the room for an awkward moment.
“And if there’s something else in the way?” Peter asked.
“Atlorian accounts say there’s nothing west of their islands but empty ocean. If there were another land mass or maelstrom or something of significant size within reasonable distance of their shores, they’d have spotted it. That leaves maybe a few hundred miles unaccounted for. Odds are it’s empty.”
“You didn’t exactly make an estensive survey of Atlorian accounts before heading out, and are just playing by memory.”
“What’s the alternative?” I asked, “Stay here?” I almost missed the subtle movement as Peter moved his hand from on the bench to on top of Drea’s.

Ahem. So went Donnie went on Jimmie Fallon’s show during the campaign, Jimmie asked Donnie if his hair was real. Donnie said yes, go ahead and see for yourself. Fallon proceeded to run his hand through Trump’s hair and the hair apparently came all over Donnie’s head.
That reference I got. I’m refusing to figure out what a hairpiece ejaculating would entail. And I am going to bed now, so I’ll miss what you try and freak me out with

You know, when your hair gets ‘greasy’? Yeah, that’s not grease.

I do not follow sportsball at all, but I am going to a super bowl party on Sunday. It’s at my neighbor’s, and he’s making prime rib. I’m bringing pretzel rolls (from UCS’s linked recipe). It’s been about 10years since I went to a super bowl party. I think it will be fun.
Rib roast sammiches on pretzel rolls sounds pretty boss. Like REALLY boss. Where’s this party again?

I’ll be driving home from Winston-Salem during the game and flying out the next morning to Vegas. No parties for me this year.
I had the neighbors over because I wanted to make clams and you have to buy a big bag. So, I didn’t feel like I could refuse. Although, we frequently invite each other over for grilling.

Here’s a recipe. Have fun
That’s a great recipe. I’ll have to give it a go.
I enjoyed when we used to host Super Bowl parties, but it was just too much damned work
One of my old friends hosts every year. I have been tasked once again to make chili to bring. I am irritated though, because the grocery store I hit up today for all the peppers, cheese, and meat did not have any smoked beers. Not some hard to find smoked beers, not really good smoked beers, not a single damned rauchbier in the store. So I’m either going to have to make another stop tomorrow, or I’ll have to use some of my homebrew porter for the beer in the recipe.
Won’t be watching this year. Gonna be the most boring Superbowl in history.
Really? You think it will be worse then the Broncos – Seahawks game a couple years back?
It’s the ‘A Superbowl every fifty years’ Squaws and the 49ers… who I somehow don’t even know a single player on that team. How did they get to a Superbowl exactly? It’s one of those years where everybody sucks.
The Niners has the most exciting team in the NFL this year. They have a combo of old school smashball with plenty of hits and blocking and new schemes that involve lots of line movement. Obviously I am biased but I watched every game they played this year. They have a tremendous defense and a underrated offense and are going against the best new QB since Brady came out. It should be a good game.
I turned my back on the niners with the whole Kapaernik/Reid BS. It’s good to see they’ve gotten past that and it’s even better to see that York has seen the light and decided to be a hands off owner.
I did as well Spud. Them leaving the Stick for the South Bay really tested my fandom, and then a bunch of years of Jed York being an idiot was really bad. I grew up during the heyday of the Niners and have vivid memories of watching The Catch on my parents’ 19 inch color TV. I liked that Jed seemed to learn his lesson and at the NFC championship, he took a back seat to who he picked to run his team. They have a really good all around team and I love that they have a QB that is content to be a team player. Looking forward to them winning on Sunday.
Them sweet, sweet Mojeaux tears. 😛
Ha!
I expect a memo from the school district Monday cancelling school for whichever day the parade is on.
It’s not like they weren’t forced to do it the last time.
It’d be pretty damn hard to top last year’s yawn fest.
I’m mean, I get that you hate the Chiefs and don’t care about the matchup, but a points line around 55 has got to top that.
It is going to go under.
How does that work when Mahomes throws for 17 touchdowns in two minutes?
Over/under is 54.5. Mahomes can go ahead and do that, but I doubt it will go over. He has to contend with an actual defense this Sunday.
You think? I’m not a betting man, but if I was I’d take the over.
Honestly, I think it’s the scoring is going to be based off of both team’s d-line play. If the Niners front four can bottle up Mahomes and throw off his timing routes, they have a shot. Though KC’s o-line has been quietly very good the last half of the year.
On the Chiefs side, the d-line plays a lot of 4-3 Over against zone run schemes. That puts a shit-ton of pressure on the interior lineman to cover multiple gaps and cutback lanes. They’ve gotten a helluva lot better at that over the last two months but San Fran is the best team at using those types of runs. Plus Shanahan is great at disguising multiple run types out of the same package.
Should be fun. I honestly can’t say who I think will win, but if the d-lines can’t do those things I see a game with both teams scoring in the thirties.
It should be a fun SB. I think the Niners D line holds it down and makes it tough for Mahomes. He is still gonna get three TDs and a field goal or two. He is not gonna get away with what he did with the Texans and the Titans. If the Niners go up early they will hold it.
The Hyperbole is that you?
Have fun! I’m hosting a super bowl party for my family, and we’re also going to watch Groundhog Day while we’re at it.
Can’t watch it yet but I’m looking forward to it
You know, some things never change. I’m watching seven teenage boys who are competing against each other tomorrow in a music competition and there’s always one showboating asshole who’s trying to one up the others in order to psyche them out.
Fortunately, I think my son is mostly oblivious to it but I can see some of the other kids getting agitated.
I met the showboating kid’s father today and understand where it comes from. Dad obviously encourages the behavior. We’ll see how the judge likes it, since he’s also here.
My son has recently become interested in woodworking and carpentry, and going up to my grandfather’s house for his funeral has really kicked it into high gear. We spent a few days going through all the stuff in his basement, which included his workshop – before he got too old to do it anymore, Grandpa was a hell of an amateur craftsman.
However, despite his fervent desire to have his own workshop, we have no space for one in our little house and no garage either. So….my son has decided we should build a free-standing one in our backyard ourselves. On the one hand, I admire his determination and imagination. On the other hand, though, I don’t think I really have any of the skills to do it. He even wants us to pour our own concrete slab as a foundation. I’ve never worked with concrete in my life, but since he collected Grandpa’s extensive library of how-to books and brought them home, he has read about it and thinks it will be simple. Oy….
“I’ve never worked with concrete in my life”
It’s mostly easy, but finishing it if you want a smooth finish takes skill. Otherwise, easy. And you have Youtube. So yeah, easy.
Trump to push for paid family leave for all workers in State of the Union address
Trump will highlight his administration’s role in securing the passage of defense legislation that Congress approved in December that included 12 weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers — an accomplishment the administration sees as paving the way for a private-sector program.
#MostLibertarianPresidentEver
It just seems like something that would seem deceptively easy that I would find a way to screw up, and then have a useless uneven concrete pad in the yard.
Most dry mix concrete you can buy now is ‘self leveling’. It’s more about making sure you build a nice squared ‘mold’ to pour it into that won’t leak.
This
It’s called a form; and there’s more to it than squaring it up.
/industrial electrician, formed and poured many a duct bank
Back in the day, I worked for a construction company. Concrete is not that hard. You don’t want it completely smooth, slippery. It’ll be fine and really a great learning experience for him
It is when it dries.
Smooth for a slab, light broom for a sidewalk, patio, or driveway.
Slabs are smooth, if you want some traction in your shop put a mat down.
You can do it, Hype. If its a bigger slab get ready mix. You can do it, get one of your buddies with a little experience, no beer until the job is finished for the day.
Yeah, but it’s not me who wants to do it. I
Fuck that. If it is an off day dealing with concrete beer starts before it is mixed. A slab for a shed can be leveled with a 2×4. Forms level, screed it off, good go go. Not making a dance floor there.
Please don’t make a dance floor out of concrete.
Not simple, but doable. I remember working with my dad pouring the slab for our shed. AFAIK, he never did that before, I know he’s never done concrete work since. It turned out fine.
Don’t. Not because it’s hard, but because in most places if you attach it to a foundation you need all the building permits. Dirt floor you can usually build whatever you want.
Typically, it depends on the size of the structure. From what I’ve experienced, you’re good up to 200sqft.
Although I doubt that’s big enough for a shop.
Eh, he’s not going to have any big equipment like a table saw or a router. What he wants is a space big enough for a work bench. He had mostly hand tools, plus a hand held still, rotary tool, jigsaw, and orbital sander.
Hand held drill that is. I fucking hate when autocorrect changes an actual word into a different working instead of just correcting misspellings.
Although, a hand held still would be very useful.
Needs lots of insulation but, yeah.
Make sure to pillar the center and corners. About a foot wide and eighteen inches deep. Tamper the ground till packed densely and flat, add gravel to just under the form boards, and tamper the gravel before pouring.
Er, width and depth for the pillars may need to be bigger depending on the size. I was envisioning something just a little bigger than a smallish back patio area.
10×20. Beyond that, I’d actually just suggest a garage, or better, a pole barn.
That’s where stripper cowgirls work.
If you build it, they will come.
I actually looked that up. I didn’t see anything about foundations. It said you don’t need a permit for a tool or storage shed under 256 sf. I would imagine a small workshop could be classified as a tool shed.
It’s a tool shed until it isn’t.
Or one of these.
IMO, going from apprentice carpentry with a total of 20 hours to one’s name to building a shed with concrete foundation is just begging for discouragement and a quick burnout.
I agree one of those would probably be more sensible, but those four digit price tags mean they ain’t happening. The one appealing thing about his DIY idea is that I have a lumber connection who can get me a great price, and we can buy as we go to spread out the costs.
The permit is really easy for a non-inhabited structure. At least, here in CA it is.
Permit? #fuckoffslaver for a non-inhabitable structure.
Rent a large storage unit to use as a workshop. Some places let you do that.
It’s not all that hard to do anything involved in building a garage. I’ve done most of it. It’s a lot of work, but it’s not rocket surgery. Just be careful about measurements and squareness and use youtube for everything. You’ll be fine and really proud when you’re done. The hardest thing in building is stairs and odd shaped structures. Garages don’t have those.
I know concrete. Concrete equipment and tooling is over half of my business. If you need advice or help, just let me know.
I’ve always been lucky. When I had my bike shop, I worked on stuff fro people who did all that stuff. I could either barter or at least get them to set me straight when I had doubts. We did a huge shop behind a friends house and had a customer who drove a concrete truck come pour his excess for the foundation. They had a minimum and as soon as there was enough left over he just stopped by and dropped it in the form for us. We did the finish work, mostly with two by fours and a garden hose. It came out pretty good.
I have an uncle who does that sort of thing. He does quality work in several trades- carpentry, plumbing, painting, masonry – and does trades all the time. He restored a Galaxie 500 years ago by handling the mechanical himself and bartering home improvements for the body work, interior work, and electrical work.
What think you of AlumaSytems?
They own half the market for formwork and shoring, which I don’t rent or sell. So I guess I don’t have much of an opinion on them other than they appear to know what they’re doing.
I have seen formwork/shoring jobs go bad before, not a pretty sight.

Now, you wanna talk about concrete, then the man you wanna talk to will probably be Playa Manhattan. I guess you all know Playa Manhattan; he lives out on Route 13 out on that maggot farm. Now, Playa don’t like it when you get his maggot farm confused with a worm farm. A worm farm is for worms, and a maggot farm is for maggots, and Playa’s got the biggest maggots in the state. Three feet long. Of course, now Playa believes this might be due to the fact that St. Smithen’s Medical Facility has been dumping their waste on his property. Interesting thing about three-foot maggots is that… that, well, one day the china disappeared, and then the next day his television disappeared, and then a few days after that, his ’57 Chevy disappeared. But there they are: the world’s biggest maggots. Anyway, one day, Playa and I were standing in the kitchen, giant maggots crawling across the floor, and Playa turns to me, and he says, “Do you ever go to make a pork sausage, and find that it’s got hairs all over it?” and he gives me a look that still chills me to this day.
“You’re a Looney Tune.”
I just… can’t stand hearing him talk. He’s such a cretin.

net new voters for Trump ?
“I wasn’t [a Trump supporter] in 2016,” said Adam Hanson, a Des Moines-based attorney who spoke for Rand Paul in the caucuses four years ago. “I was one of those Never Trump Republicans back then … During the caucuses and even into the general election, I just, I was not a big fan. I didn’t think he’d deliver. But in the past few years, I’ll admit I’ve been pleasantly surprised with Trump.”
Hanson said he saw Trump as a bit of a “grifter” in 2016 but has been enthused by his judicial appointments and the performance of the economy.
He added, “I’ll admit I was wrong. And if I had to do it over again, I would have voted for the president then.”
Well I didn’t like that time when he colluded with Russia to steal an election or that time he killed millions through net neutrality or when he appointed that credibly accused rapist to the Supreme Court or that time he started World War 3 by killing that terrorist.
It’s proven. Libertarians were never anything other than closet Trumpets.
Missouri House Rep. Ben Baker introduced the bill, dubbed the “Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act,” in January that calls for the creation of a panel made up of non-library workers who will determine the removal of “age-inappropriate sexual material,” from their local branch.
Libraries that don’t comply will lose their funding. Library employees providing material deemed inappropriate would be hit with a misdemeanor charge and liable for a $500 fine or a maximum jail sentence of a year, according to the bill’s current language.

Best work ever CPRM. I wondered why Bolton turned on Trump and now I know. He stole the mustache just like the election. But to be honest, I don’t believe the news reports of his books. I think it is a setup and he never wrote those things. I might be wrong but I am feeling red herring on it all.
I think he’s trolling the Dems while getting a little payback on Trump.
I’m guessing it’s like every other tell-all that was touted as ‘The End of Trump’, that once they came out never said much of anything.
the Legislature has done nothing in the past 4 years, in fact 15 years of “continuing resolutions?” Trump is doing a lot of good, I wish he could do more.

Decentralizing power until you reach the individual.
If only it worked like that.
I’ll bite. What other way would you get there?
As I’ve said before, I prefer moving downward than upward. But, time and time again, we get stuck at the nation/tribe level. Indeed, a national government can, at times, be more injurious to liberty than a global behemoth in that it is a) more “efficient” and b) in charge of a population small enough to pay attention to each individual.
In short, a balloon can deflate and get smaller until it runs out of air or it can be so filled with air that it eventually pops. Both have the same end result .
Good point. The flip side is that it’s harder to escape from a super state. Also, would you say that advances in technology could lead to a government having control over its subjects to such a degree that you can’t really fall through the cracks like you could in, say, Soviet Russia?

I’m turning into my sister. My skin is dry and itchy. I actually bought back scratchers. They are almost orgasmic. So nice not to have to contort to reach an itch, especially since I’m hurting from coughing.
If your back scratcher breaks, a spaghetti spoon will do in a pinch.
I bought a package. I now have back scratchers on every floor. Did I mention I’m turning into my hoarder (she won’t admit this) sister.
I’ve been using one of those for around a decade now.
I bought an actual “back scratcher” a few years ago and tossed it – completely useless.

Things I learned tonight. Trump stole Bolton’s mustache and #fuckoffslaver is a legit hashtag on twitter. Thanks OMWC! He made it so.
Trump didn’t steal anything, it was Bolton’s mustache that came to him.
Aaaah, now I picture it crawling across DC through traffic to get to him. Maybe even utilizing public transit but stopping at the mall to flip the bird to Lincoln and piss in the pool.
I’d think the stache would approve of a lot of what Lincoln did.
He’d ooze up their and park on his lip for a selfie.
Perhaps. But I am working only on racist stereotypes in that scenario. I may have forgot I poured tequila on the second drink and then poured it as a double double so work with me here because I am on the fourth drink.
More like this, but instead of a demon, the mustache jumps from body to body.

I’m sort of in employment limbo. I’ve been offered and accepted a job, but I think they hired me before their timeline so I wouldn’t accept another job in the mean time. So…I’m still waiting to hear from HR and actually start working.
Try some gig work until you start? Or do you think it’s not worth the bother?
I’m not worried about money, just an odd state to be in.
And that is most defiantly due to Patrons like yourself. Many thanks to all.
Gotcha. But since we’re talking money, I think my year long Patreon thingy for you might be about to expire. I’ll try to remind myself to check on that this weekend.
No problem if you have a lapse, or need some time to refocus spending, you’ll still get a credit until it’s clear you’re long gone.
If I lapse again, just bust me down to “Hair jizz” level until I get caught up.

You might meet “Little Miss Not With Spud’s Dick” and then regale us of the story about the one that got away. “Gather’round children! I’ve a tale to tell…”
Like when I went to the local bar in my early 30s and instead of the chick I was talking up admitting she was a lesbo she instead made a story about ripping her vagina during child birth and having to get stitches in her va jay jay to scare me off? Or that other time time I got jumped in an alley? Yeah, my home is the best bar.
Caramba! Sorry that happened. I can see how a guy might be a little skittish after that… At least you weren’t trying to buy drugs. Home is where the bar is, Friend.
(And Spud? I meant nothing by that. It’s just that your name came to mind.)
While I can see that sharing this information in a bar during a social setting is rather uncouth, there is no “made up” story about one’s vagina tearing during childbirth and having to get stitches in it.
It’s called an episiotomy.
Ask me how I know.
Now, if you tell me she has no kids, then I can see that it would be entirely made up with regard to her personal person.
I was featuring that he had a close scrape against SugarFree’s last protagonist.

As far as I know, it was made up. Turns out instead of being the cousin of the bartender we’d been hitting on all summer, she was her girlfirend, which for some reason telling me this story was somehow, um, showing how we were bigots for not assuming the bartender was gay, or something. It was all very odd.
Oh, that is very bizarre.

That is not at all the way it worked when ladies lead my to a gay bar without me knowing….yeah, I’m not the target audience.
Oh dear…
I have no idea what this means in Britainese, but damn it’s catchy.
Must be the Speaker of the House. Seems quite a cunte. I approve!
AWWDUUUH! It basically means the Commons critters are getting to rowdy (by British standards) or speaking out of turn, so there’s a guy employed to sit there and yell “order” until everyone behaves themselves. Imagine all the Republican congress critters sitting in bleachers directly opposite the Dems seated in the same way, each with the party leader in the front row (prime minister for the Cons, some old tankie for the opposition), and then imagine them jeering at each other and slinging ad homs en masse until every so often the “order” person yells “awwduuuuhhh!”.
Sounds like the proper amount of decorum.
Well shucks, Imma go grab me some vittles and catch some shut-eye, if you catch my drift. G’night Sheriff! *tips bang-up old hat* Miss Kitty…
*leers with one working eye and puts his hand into a well-worn pocket* Yes indeedy! A good night to all!
Alt-right. Since Sr. Digby didn’t grace us with his presence because he already saw the cartoon or has a life or some other lame excuse, I guess I’ll say good night, and thanks for supporting the cartoon.
I think he keeps normie hours on Friday.
Morning, evening Glibs.
For whatever reason I’m awake at weekday hours today.
11:45 and I’m still on my first cup of covfefe. JDU enjoyed a lie in this morning.
I figured I should at least finish part 1 of “Court Creatures”, which is the sixth named arc of “On Unknown Shores”
Morning person? I’m not especially useful for the first couple of hours. I need time to warm up and get going. Not very productive.
My generic cover letter sent out with resume:
I’m not a morning person, but if I sleep in til 1pm, I don’t have much day left, as I have to be at work monday morning, so it’s lost from one of the days.
Oh yeah I used to be like that when I worked long hours, nights, and often weekends, too. Feeling like free time is wasted is very depressing.
Mornin’
Eight hours of sleep, I’m up.
what do you mean morning? it’s 620pm.
Not sure what clock you’re using, but it’s nearly 8am here.
Dammit, Drea repeats herself in the first line of dialog.
It didn’t seem weird when I read it, just natural. I know it might seem unconventional to write dialogue like that but FWIW I think that line is fine.
While I have heard people speak like that, I also know I’d catch flak for writing it like that. Luckily, it’s an easy trim.
when does he enslave the natives? wasnt that the first book?
No, that’s later on, after he sets up outposts to supply ships with provisions along the route and maximize cargo space.
Misidentified AGAIN as a USA Hat level patron. SAD!
