Well, whaddya know–two Night Shift posts in three weeks! That must be some kind of record, or, something. Actually, that chest cold was the pits, and not exactly helped by weather that goes from a small ice flurry to 60-degree-plus temps in three days. Blech. Anyway, let’s crack on with the links and comments, shall we?
Who says Canadians are mild-mannered? Keep in mind that an anagram of ‘Jessica Yaniv’ is ‘In Jiveass Cay’. And, as we all know, that’s a reference to Jeffrey Epstein’s pedo island.
Geeze, I’m glad she told us! I am, of course, referring not only to her repeated crowing about this accomplishment, but also, her cluing us in on her preferred pronouns. Because…Damn.
OK, Canada—you’re 2 for 2 this week. Maybe the Kellie Pickler clone is just taking Neil Peart’s death rather hard…?
An homage for my friend, CPRM.
Heinous. Quite a bit of beating going on in that story.
When meth-heads attack. Maybe the farts weren’t so bad, by comparison?
Coward. Wake me up when he decides to use the Weed Whacker.
Funny, but, I would have thought this was more an Austin thing.
I hate it when a technicality spoils a perfectly good sword fight. Part of me wants to say, “Let ‘em.” The other part refuses to concede that authority to a judge.
Oh, you want music? Here’s something for last week. P-Funk can take us the rest of the way.
As I mentioned to straffinrun earlier in the week, I’m not sure how long I’ll be continuing Night Shift posts. While they can be fun, and help me as I stay awake into Sunday mornings, I’m finding it difficult to put them together every week. Of course, if anyone else wants to jump in and put some together, I’m all for coordinating some sort of alternating schedule. Anyway, chat it up, ya reprobates.
Psyche! First, bitches.
Insider trading!
Have some etiquette with your fist.
I always lube my fist first.
Tears and dip spit don’t count as lube.
Oh wow…didn’t know we had a lube expert in our midst.
Oh pshaw, I’m just a humble lube enthusiast, I’d never call myself an expert
Thaaat’s goin’ in the dating profile….
Does that mean you buy it in 5 gallon containers and not by the 55 gal drum?
Does that mean you buy it in 5 gallon containers and not by the 55 gal drum?
Only artisanal lube for me, in stylish Weck jars.
Thaaat’s goin’ in the dating profile….
One of the hardest laughs I ever got out of a buddy of mine was when I describe a girl I was chatting with as a “blowjob enthusiast”.
That doesn’t seem to be as rare of a trait as I was led to believe. And, that’s just based on statements, not witnessing.
Sadly, I had to take her word for it it (she was in NC, I was in MA and it was just a bunch of talk to that point).
It certainly gets talked about in some circles…may dating days weren’t that long ago (it seems).
Not first.
Canada covering Canada (well)
I’m a proud Southern Canadian. Listen to this and enjoy.
Do it!
Noice!
Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
Hey, they can’t always kick ass!

Are we sure the teacher was kneeling for the anthem? She might have been about to blow a 14yo.
Having seen pictures of her, I suspect that’s not her thing. Now, seducing 14 year old cheerleaders…
*clicks through to story to see pictures of the teacher*
*immediately regrets it*
Oh, yes–the regret is strong after that story.
“Coward. Wake me up when he decides to use the Weed Whacker.”
And never cook in the nude. Just sayin’.
Or at least wear an apron.
fuck off, salver!
Hey, if hot oil blisters are your kink, get down with your own bad self.
They create their own lube.
That Guess Who song is great.
The reporter was a bit more direct on Twitter, noting, “I’ve never seen a girl hit like that. Tbh you’re more manly than most men, and you belong behind bars. I’ll be seeing you in court, and I’ll visit you in prison. No tampons in mens prison! Sad!”
No need for tampons as Jonathan Yaniv is a male. I can’t call Yaniv a man because men don’t behave like that.
“Given platform to stand up for marginalized and oppressed people. Like many before, I respectfully kneeled during Nat’l Anthem because, “No one is free until we are all free,” she tweeted.
Go fuck yourself.
“The security guard from Macy’s asked if we wanted to call the police,” Crawford told WJBK. “I asked, ‘What is Macy’s policy if something like this happens? Of course we want you to call the police.'”
It’s a good thing one of those women had a gun.
A Massachusetts homeowner was arrested Monday for “open and gross lewdness” after passing motorists spotted him–leaf blower in hand–doing yard work in the nude, according to cops.
Yet another reason why Massachusetts sucks.
The organization, which hosts festivals around Texas, said in a Facebook post not to let the turkey’s testes be wasted in vain at its first Texas Testicle Festival from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday in Bankersmith Hall in Fredericksburg.
I’ve been to Fredericksburg. I like Fredericksburg Brewing Company.
I’m going to listen to that Guess Who song again then go to bed. ‘night folks.
Yet another reason why Massachusetts sucks.
*checks link – please don’t be somebody I know, please don’t be somebody I know…*
safe.
Damn, I just got here, DEG!
Alright, ya quitter…have a good night.
That bathroom story was wild. I mean, some innocent woman is just minding her own business stroking her girl-cock and some crazy transphobic gun-nut threatens to shoot her? I can’t even.
Evergreen
So, that’s what it’s like playing a game with someone who makes the rules up as they go along…
Yep, that is never not LOL.
Hahahaha. What in the fuck is wrong with these people?
Speaking of leaf blowers, I’d like to dedicate this poem to our neighbor across the street. At least he doesn’t do it in the nude.
Oh, man. Every Tuesday, at 6:30 or 7:00 am, the neighbor’s gardener shows up. He doesn’t start with branch lopping or raking—nope, always starts with the leaf blower. Always right next to our side of the property.
Planning to sleep til 8? Guess again. Taking the day off? Let me wake you up with the dulcet tones of the whining leaf blower.
It violates the HOA but I don’t wanna turn them in. The man of the house has terminal cancer. After he passes beyond the veil, I’m gonna talk to that effing gardener though.
I’m damn sure grabbin’ the popcorn for that encounter!
It will be hand-to-mano confrontation
That sounds kinda….(ahem)….
OH…right; gotcha.
I’ve said it before and I’ll insult people here again; leaf blowers are stupid. Either mulch the leaves (which helps the lawn!) or get off your ass and grab a damn rake. Or mulch the leaves (which helps the lawn!)
I’d mulch the leaves. (It helps the lawn)
I assume he’s paid by the hour. So he just looks industrious and makes noise while blowing all their dead stuff into my property, where I then have to take a broom and sweep all the crap out of my giant aloes and succulents he blows their dead junk into.
Grrrrr.
The Lady has quite the word palette.
Err, well….
I love my leaf blower. You can pry it from my cold dead hands.
If you lived next door to me, that would be a real possibility.
If you lived next door, you’d be welcome to rake all of the leaves to your heart’s content. The big leaf maples put out a lot of leaf, far too much to mulch in place, and kill the lawn if left.
Got a backpack last spring and it’s so much better than a handheld, except for clearing off the roof.
Compost pile. The answer is compost pile.
Unless you live next to Rene Boucher.
Nice to know that Family Feud Canada is just as insufferable as the ‘Mercan variety. Holy shit I watched it the other day and it was… bad.
I blame the death of Richard Dawson.
/show does have its moments still
The US version was only rendered somewhat watchable by the presence of Richard Dawson.
Yes, I might have elaborated that it was pretty good back in the day. Each successive host has been worse than the last, plus the questions get stoopider and stoopider.
FF is IMHO the worst successful game show in history. Bring back Card Sharks and Press Your Luck!!!!11!!
They did bring back PYL several years ago.
Whammy
I used to watch a lot of GSN and even I couldn’t stand that shit. The original sucked, too.
::gasp!::
No! The original was a constellation of cash and prizes. Loved that stuff on a lazy, school-free Summer morn.
It was so stupid there was that guy who broke it just by watching the patterns.
Stupid? Nah. In fact, that one of t.v.’s greatest
lovesuccess stories.Not the guy’s subsequent life, though. Poor bastard.
Yeah, I don’t know how that makes the game “stupid”. What a story. I’m saving that for tomorrow for a deeper (soberer) dive.
That is so disgusting. Someone do something.
Double Dare or GTFO. Bonus: the music was recycled for Card Sharks.
I’m 2:30 into The Irishman, but I don’t think I can make the next hour – good chance the dog is going to want to go out in the middle of the night and I can’t be dead to the world.
Hey; no shame in that–it’s quite the viewing journey.
Thank you for your blessing.
G’night, party people.
✊
Rhywun & Mike, I just checked out the harmony links you put up late in the last thread. Thanks! Mike, my ol’ trio used to do 7BR back in the day. Getting the timing right on the a cappella bits is a certifiable booger. We ran through that one at the end of every single rehearsal. Real crowd pleaser when we got it right, though.
I don’t doubt that. It’s a great bit of harmony.
The song has just a twinge of a soft-spot for me…Every day on my drive to work, I drive on a stretch of gravel road where I cross 7 bridges within 1.25 miles. A real life Seven Bridges Road. Kinda cool in a lame sorta way.
Jeeminy criminy! Do you live in Venice??
Haha. No, just a very windy little creek. None of the 7 bridges are longer than 30-40 feet.
Oooooh….too soon.
Boy, it sure would’ve sucked if your once-in-a-lifetime Venice vacation had been that week.
Inorite???
I love a good Eagles tune. That one qualifies.
Tsk, tsk–Dude would be appalled.
After our brutal 2 and a half week winter in San Diego, it was 67 degrees today, the first spring rose bloomed, and all the fruit trees are sporting nice new reddish-budded branches.
Bliss. It almost makes up for Newsom, but not quite…
Yeah, it’d need to be Fiji….or, Prague, for it to balance exposure to the Great Brylcream Bastard.
Tell me that don’t stank.

This is just one excerpt, but the whole thing runs really, disturbingly, deep.
Appalachia sounds healthier than that.
That made my head spin but yeah, I didn’t know any of that. Yet… none of it surprises me.
The only thing that separates Russian oligarchs from California oligarchs is that the California one dont need to throw dissenting journalists off tall buildings.
Because there are no dissenting journalists in California.
Don’t forget Nelson’s ex-wife.
I spotted the wicked ambition in that bastard from a mile away when he was just a city council creature the year I lived in SF.
Even if you’re a Dem, you are OK with your party coming up with *this* guy???
You’d think there would be a little more competition within the party, since once you get the D nomination, you’re in.
But then again, Minneapolis has Ilan Omar.
I don’t know what you mean.
/Andrew Cuomo
Meet me in Prague at the train station. We make briefcase exchange at third bench.
Nostrovya!
………”BriefCASE“! Right; briefCASE. Got it.
Hey, all youz gun nutz punting about here. If sometime in the near future you happen to go out and purchase bullets you just might run into a shortage for a day or two because half the plant that makes most of the ammunition for this country is taking the day off for the Chiefs game. Ha!
All my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident, but thanks for the heads up.
It shan’t be long before the Coast Guard starts interdicting boats looking for unstable weapons transporting.
Diggy, I need to bug out of here shortly, but if you don’t mind my asking – how are things going with your mom? (If you don’t feel like talking about it, I understand.)
She actually seems like she’s doing a bit better at the moment–new Dr (long story), new home attendants, getting access to some more benefits from her medicaid…
Hate to say it, but, just kind of waiting for other shoe to drop. It will, at some point. For the moment, I’m enjoying the relative peace.
So glad to hear it! Hope it lasts as long as possible!
Thanks for doing this. Sorry I gotta bail, but got a birthday party to attend tomorrow. Nighty night!
Have a good ‘un!
Night, GT!!
Do I spy some sort of hockey apparel?
I think it is a signal flag for the letter E converted to a top. (E= Turning to Starboard)
That’s good news SD. Take it for as long as it lasts.
I am hoping to do so. I was surprised by her overall appearance recently, as she seems to be putting effort into staying “better” (moreso than she has been).
Best wishes Sir Digby.
So this is where y’all went.
Where the heck were you??? It’s Saturday night, bitches!
“Saturday Night Bitches”–not quite SNL, but, certainly more fun.
Project due tomorrow.
Ok, fair enough.
Clearly you need more orphans to help.
Especially for the ghost-writing.
Hey Digby. Don’t worry about adding lots of links. The last night wing ding can be open post or one post. It is nice to have a place to hang out.
This afternoon was 79 degrees and the ocean temps were around 83-84. Nice sail and we pulled onto the sand bar and watched life and the Bay for an hour or so before continuing back to the harbor. Not a bad way to spend a winter day.
Also this morning I noticed the bananas starting a new bunch to add to the two already hanging.

Ooh !! Nice!
I’m telling you, we gotta set up the big gun at Barking Sands Missile Range.
I will be there. We are doing a shoot during RIMPAC this summer. The SINKEX day is a weapons fan big noise birthday party.
That almost sounds like some weird bowel issue.
Welp, there’s the title for your memoirs.
Also–point taken about the links. ?
Say hi to Brandy.
Which of the top anchormen wised up to liberalism and cultural relativism as a result of 9/11?
Wasn’t Dan Rather,?Ted Koppel, or Tom Brokaw.
Was it Peter Jennings or Sam Donaldson? Am I imagining things??? Somebody made a public shift and killed his career in doing so….
I never heard anything like that. The only one that seems even remotely close, to me, is Jennings.
Maybe Beck?
Ron Burgundy?
Not quite sure what you are thinking of HS. Koppel always struck me as something of a skeptic regardless of his topic. Maybe he just didn’t go nuts the way some of the others did.
May have had an impact on his word view a bit.
I would hope so.
Stossel?
You, sir, know how to turn a phrase.
::bows deeply::
Thank you!! I never know if they shine through, or not.
Digby, I love the late night posts regardless of links therein. I can only check in sporadically (these groceries aren’t gonna put themselves on the shelf) but I’m glad y’all are here.
Thanks, l0. Duly noted.
Why put them away in cabinets? You will take the stuff out and put it back on the counter to prepare them later. Leave them on the counter and add a music link here while drinking your choice of beverage.
IO works as a grocer IINM.

I have VERY fond memories of watching him busking on the streets of Key West in the early ’70s. White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean and Livin’ & Dyin’ In 3/4 Time are my favorite albums from that Oakie who South Florida adopted.
Fun Fact – the fold out LP cover for Livin’ & Dyin’ features the Key West playground where I spent a great deal of time ashore.
I was watching the last stretch of The Naked Gun 33 1/3 while writing GlibFit. It was not the best of those movies but still damn funny. Leaving aside OJ’s role, there is no way that movie could be made today. The stuff that’s “offensive” is so mild but you know it would be killed at inception in any Hollywood studio. Are there no conservative (and I use the term only to mean not in thrall to Progressive sensibilities) studios?
Love the lone applause for the feeding dolphins to cats joke.
American version of British droll humor. Love those movies.
I think I need to check if Benny Hill is on dvd now.
Here ya go. Link expires in 1 week

An Obama reference? Really, dude? Thanks to your Chocolate Kennedy, gun sales were some of their strongest. Considering how much they hate guns, their Lightbringer sure could sell ’em.
Everybody got off the train at this station. Either I missed some announcement or that SBD was more D than I thought.
#GaijinGas.
I thought Japan took subway gas attacks seriously.
Heh.
Bang a falun gong.
Are the train personnel running through the cars and gesturing for you to exit?
/memories of the first time having the train go out of service. Thought wow, finally can sit down now that the car isn’t crowded.
Great music Sir D! I remember the Guess Who’s Canned Wheat album in my Dad’s stack of records. Along with Whipped Cream and Other Delights. Shortly before I was born, he got religion in a big way so he never played any of them. But didn’t get rid of them either. On road trips, he’d listen to the oldies station, which was 50’s and limited 60’s then. That was as modern as he’d get.
Sounds like a great station. And, thank you.
Between syndicated tv shows that were really taking off and my dad’s eccentricities, my childhood pop culture was filed with stuff 20-30 years earlier. This turned out to be a blessing later when I was able to “discover” the actual pop culture of my youth other than fragments and share very similar touchstones with my wife (there’s a bit of a May-December age difference).

That’s actually an excellent sign.
I’m just now getting into The Expanse, and it rocks.
