    I leave it to you Glibs to dig up the gold, because there was plenty of it.

    This gold probably isn’t worth a lot of money though.

    Damn, how long does it take to fix a vote count?

    • Donation Not Taxation

      It has only been hours, not days.

      If it is incompetence rather than it being who counts the votes that matters, then maybe they should have asked Joe Biden to recommend some coal miners to make the app. #learntocode

      How much tax money or money borrowed to be repaid by taxes is going to spent on this fiasco?

        I read that somewhere. Was that before or after the part where I read That rough trade is the only “real” form of sex? I know it came after the part about why it’s totes cool to cheat on your SO if it’s with a young hottie but not OK when the hottie dumps you for a younger model.

        Wypipo is a racist mispronounciation attributed to blacks.

      “Why are they doing it in a red state?” Ms. Behar asked.

      The state that launched Obama in the 08 caucus? The state that voted Obama in 08 and 12? The state that gave use Tom Fucking Harkin for three decades?

      Ms Behar can go fuck herself.

      • Lord Digby

    Will the White House Order New Federal Architecture To Be Classical?

    RECORD has obtained what appears to be a preliminary draft of the order, under which the White House would require rewriting the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture, issued in 1962, to ensure that “the classical architectural style shall be the preferred and default style” for new and upgraded federal buildings. Entitled “Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again,” the draft order argues that the founding fathers embraced the classical models of “democratic Athens” and “republican Rome” for the capital’s early buildings because the style symbolized the new nation’s “self-governing ideals” (never mind, of course, that it was the prevailing style of the day).The draft decries the quality of architecture under the General Service Administration’s (GSA) Design Excellence Program for its failure to re-integrate “our national values into Federal buildings” which too often have been “influenced by Brutalism and Deconstructivism.” The draft document specifically cites the U.S. Federal Building in San Francisco (2007, by Morphosis), the U.S. Courthouse in Austin, Texas (2012, by Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects), and the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. U.S. Courthouse in Miami (2007, by Arquitectonica) for having “little aesthetic appeal.”

    Finally.

    • Mojeaux

      I kinda like the one in Austin.

      I like the one in Miami too. Has a tough of midcentury modern and art deco, which goes with the Miami aesthetic.

      The one in San Francisco is disgusting.

      I like the U.S. Courthouse in Kansas City, too.

      The federal building here is ugly but not Brutalist ugly.

    • Rhywun

      I’m OK with this. Most modern architecture is complete trash.

      • Mojeaux

        So I wrote this a few years ago about this. It’s grown on me a little, I must admit. It’s very nice on the inside.

      • Rhywun

        Buffalo’s Albright-Knox Gallery is building (another) hideous new addition too. Thought admittedly this one is better than the sixties one.

      • mindyourbusiness

        I’ve been to the Nelson a few times since the additions and you’re right, Mo. The interior space works really well. Alas, the outside still looks like eroded Legos.

      • Mojeaux

        Right. They could have gotten that kind of massive interior wall space in a more beautiful exterior.

    • Mojeaux

      Oh that’s nice! We like the Honey Badger aka The Landlord.

    Twitter Safety

    Our new rule: You may not deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm. In addition, we may label Tweets containing synthetic and manipulated media to help people understand their authenticity and to provide context.

    That clears things up.

  10. Donation Not Taxation

    Has anyone posted betting odds on how long into the SotU Donald J. Trump will bring up impeachment/trial?

    • Annoyed Nomad

      I’m hoping he makes a slight about the Iowa caucus. That would be the best part of the speech.

    • DenverJ

      The entire speech will consist of him coming out, dropping trou and mooning Pelosi, while he yells “impeach this, bitch!”
      It will be both the shortest, and best, SOTU speech ever given.

  11. mikey

    So, Bloomberg is doubling his ad spending? Big Deal. What’s another few hundred mil to Mikey McDuck – there’s lots more in the money bin.
    This. however, got me:

    “A Bloomberg aide said the campaign would expand its staff to more than 2,100 people nationwide and double its TV advertising in every market where it is currently advertising.”

    I’ve never worked on a campaigne and know nothing about them, but 2,000 fucking employees? Is this normal? I guess all that money has to be spent somewhere.

    The Joy of Cooking Naked

    Some at Lake Como said being naked had helped them cultivate a more positive relationship with food.

    Ms. McMullen, 60, a flight attendant, grew up in Massapequa Park, N.Y., and in her late 30s weighed 310 pounds. “I would go to the beach in this giant balloon of a bathing suit, and hear people laughing and whispering,” she said.

    A friend recommended that she visit a nude beach in New Jersey. “I got the nerve to get in my car and go, and for the first time, no one was looking at me. No one was judging. I knew right then that this was for me.”

    Ms. McMullen has since lost 185 pounds, but considers that less important. All it took to feel good about her appearance, she said, was taking her clothes off.

    She spoke about being naked and being a cook as if they were one and the same, as she made carnitas in her electric pressure cooker. Her husband, Mr. McMullen, 63, who is retired from the plumbing business, strummed his guitar.

    There’s a photo, and…well…I do declare…

    • Crusty Juggler

      Nancy Rehling, 70, a retired restaurant owner who lives at Lake Como, said she wears a T-shirt when she cooks, to combat splatter. “I have scars all over my tummy and the top of my boobs from cooking,” she said — incidents involving fried fish, boiled-over soups and melted cheese, which “really sticks and keeps burning.”

      Hot, melted cheese scalding an ancient nude body.

  13. Urthona

    Kudos to the Democratic Party for redistributing so many of Bernie’s votes to other candidates. It really is unfair for so many votes to be concentrated in just one candidate’s hands like that, and you know he only managed it by exploiting his position of power over candidates lower on the totem poll.

  14. Sean

    There sure is a fuckton of ugly people at the state of the union.

    • Urthona

      Those are elite congresspeople. The ones who are qualified to craft our utopian future.

      • Sean

        Not even 1% of which are qualified to fondle my balls.

      • Rebel Scum

        Senator sorority girl can fondle my everything. Likewise for Temptress Tulsi.

      • Sean

        And disgraced Katie Hill…that dirty girl…

      • DenverJ

        She’s cute. Got a bit of a (((nose))), but that’s not where I’m looking…

      • DenverJ

        Also, I like Tulsi. She believes ridiculous economic theories, but she seems a class act. A veteran who wants to end the wars, attractive, and she even tweeted best wishes to Rush after he announced that he had cancer.

      I’d love to know the name of that lipstick color. It might be “Joker Red”.

      Some congresswomen just want to watch the world burn.

      And if they’re from California they frequently get to.

  19. Fourscore

    Over dinner tonight I mentioned to my wife that if Booty was the nominee it wouldn’t be long before Trump would post a picture of Melania side by side with Booty’s Mr and ask, “Who would you rather have for First Lady?” She nearly fell over her chair laughing and agreeing. If it happens to be Booty we’ll see the comparison pictures quickly, I’m sure.

    I Traded Tampons for Thinx Period Panties—And Menstruation Has Never Felt So Different

    That is, until my first trip to the bathroom. When I pulled the underwear back on, it felt like I was putting on wet bathing suit bottoms, and I was instantly grossed out. Sure, there were no leaks, and it felt great to not have to put anything inside me or wear a diaper, but there was nothing enjoyable about feeling like I was in a beach outhouse after spending a day in the ocean. The rest of the day went on as normal, and I started to forget that I was wearing my Thinx except for when I went to the bathroom and experienced the same wet-bikini-bottoms feeling all over again.

    • Urthona

      Thats one of the weirdest Paul Krugman columns I’ve ever read.

    • DenverJ

      Just don’t menstruate. I don’t, and I never have problems like that.

      • Mojeaux

        I decided to stop menstruating—and I did!

      • DenverJ

        See? Just like that!

      • Mojeaux

        Well, it took 3 major surgeries to do it, but I did it!

    • KSuellington

      You ever notice those plastic insert thingys on tampons? It’s crazy how much plastic is used on those things. It’s a fuckload more than straws that’s for sure. Maybe they can get on those things next. We need a picture of a cute dead sea creature with a tampon applicator stuck in its mouth.

        That would make a great scene in a political comedy movie, similar to The Death of Stalin.

    So far this is not so interesting. Someone unplug the teleprompter and let him wing it.

      I’m watching Ghostbusters.

      • Trigger Hippie: Hair Jizz

        And somebody pointed out the other day that a lot of the classic films from the 80’s had an anti authoritarian, anti government bent. Case in point: Ghostbusters. The biggest puddle of shit in the film, the lying, recklessness, faping to their own power with no thought to the consequences to everybody else? The guy from the EPA.

      • Agent Cooper

        And it was written by diehard liberals.

      • Trigger Hippie: Hair Jizz

        And I bet their political views then would be considered problematic by many on the left now.

    So (somewhat implied) some healthcare welfare for people that actually need it but private coverage/care for those that don’t. As a compromise I could live with that.

  45. straffinrun

    Pre existing condition is now accepted by both parties as not being part of what insurance companies can use to deny coverage? That’s just swell.

        Well…yeah. ? I just have a mental picture of him as he was when he was younger. It’s a thing where I still feel like I’m thirty, but if I see other people who have aged (especially badly), it reminds me I’m not 30.

        Wait…is that supposed to be Pelosi’s ‘wild applause’?

        Otherwise; DAYUM, Mo…

    The morale of the Democrat women in white is broken. Last year the only time they got up was to celebrate themselves–when Trump mentioned the highest number of Congresswomen elected in the previous November. Today they’ve already gotten up and clapped on several occasions.

  61. Mojeaux

    That ad with the black woman whose sentence OrangeManBad commuted is going to kill the Dems.

      • Winston

        How much do Republicans usually get? And why do you think that is happening?

      • DenverJ

        Around 4%, and I’d suggest it’s because of the employment rate.

      • Trigger Hippie: Hair Jizz

        As DJ said, the economy. And believe it or not, this shit goes over rather well in urban black communities I’m familiar with:

    • Jarflax

  63. Jarflax

    Seating his daughters next to the black men he is honoring is a nice touch. It makes it less token symbol and more personal. I think this may play a bit. If he can swing 20% of the black vote, he’ll win in a landslide.

    • Rebel Scum

      Well Ivanka and Jared being Jews doesn’t prevent him from being called an Anti-Semite.

      • Mojeaux

        You’re not wrong.

      • Jarflax

        They can call him whatever they want. I think he is reaching a lot of black men. If he can split LBJ’s plantation even a bit the Democrats are screwed.

      • Mojeaux

        IMO, the heavy lifting is happening on Twitter.

      • Mojeaux

        “Either fight to win or not fight at all.”

        NONE of what he is saying is getting my vote. I’ll wait until I see what he actually does. If he ditches the wrong promises and keeps the right ones, I might vote for him.

      • DenverJ

        I’ve decided that, in a two party system, he’s the lesser of evils by a wide margin. Its not like between McCain and Obama, when voting for Johnson was the principled vote.
        Instead, we have a man, unlikable as he may be, with a proven track record of cutting taxes and regulation, while appointing Constitutionalist judges, versus an undetermined opponent who will assuredly advance the statist and big government agenda

      • dontreadonme

        Have you not been paying attention the past three years?

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        Look, I know he’s done a lot of good things (doubling the standard deduction) and he’s pissing off the right people, which is entertaining, but he hasn’t kept his promise about cutting spending or getting rid of Obamacare.

        Now, I know HE cannot get rid of Obamacare, but after McCain shat on him and refused to vote to repeal it because OMB, he just … stopped thinking about it. That was a HUGE part of his platform and he didn’t get it done.

        And tonight he promised to spent all sorts of money like it’s his.

        So yeah, I’ve still got my reservations.

    FY, Cut Spending. Repeal unconstitutional gun control laws. End the drug war. Stop regime change wars. Prosecute those who infringe on people’s freedom of speech. Repeal any laws that infringe on people’s right to freely associate.

    That’d be my speech. Am I missing any?

    • DenverJ

      Free stuff. You can’t get elected without promising free stuff.

      It’s always about politics. Golden rule.

      • Chipwooder

        Probably. Still, I can’t think of another hard left type who shifted so dramatically upon getting elected. Usually, if there’s any movement, it’s in the other direction.

        Doesn’t hurt that she’s pretty hot by the standards of politicians.

      • DenverJ

        Would, and I’m not even a politician

      • straffinrun

        Yep. Gimme some of those Sinema Buns.

        Showman, not orator. I like him. I like him more as time goes by. I voted for him last time because I hated him less than Hillary and Gary Johnson. I’m voting for him this time because I think he has done well. He is far from perfect, but I am not arrogant enough to believe it is reasonable for me to refuse to vote for people who are less than perfect.

      • straffinrun

        Defensive voting is legitimate in my eyes. But I’m still gonna advocate for what I really want as long as it’s here in this tiny corner of the internet. In meatspace I’m a lot more diplomatic.

      • Jarflax

        Oh, I understand and agree. I’m just getting tired of ‘libertarians’ that seem to put signalling their purity and ‘above the fray’ attitude above picking a candidate that is flawed and far from libertarian, but nonetheless massively better than the opposition. Sure he is a Statist and a profligate spender and a protectionist, but team Blue are now running outright communists.

      • DenverJ

        The deal he made to get elected (with the Republican establishment) was to appoint strict constitutionalists to the judiciary. He’s honored his end of the bargain, and I think libertarians should admit that fact.

      • Rhywun

        Amen to that.

      • Winston

        I’m surprised that the GOPe would want strict constitutionalists? I thought that was another jackalope like defunding Planned Parenthood.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        In what way is Brett “I Never Met a Full Cavity Search I Didn’t Like” Kavanaugh a strict constitutionalist?

      • Heroic Mulatto

        If you’ve seen one Brett, you’ve seen them all.

      • Jarflax

        There are mavericks sometimes.

      • Bobarian LMD

        There are no strict constitutionalists?

        They all have their warts.

        Hillary’s picks would have had genital warts that were visible from under their robes.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        Gorsuch is pretty damn close.

        Which is why the choice of The Kav was even more confusing to me. Though I think Kav is what Trump intends and Gorsuch was a happy accident.

      • Trigger Hippie: Hair Jizz

        I don’t hate the guy. As some have said here and as I’ve said to others in meatspace: He’s been the best president of the 21st century. But that’s a pretty low bar. So given the fact that my state is almost guaranteed to go his way by a substantial margin, why shouldn’t I vote for the obscure candidate I most agree with? It sway anything one way or the other. People in swing states voting pragmatically I get, given the options, but for me I have the luxury of being a shithead about it.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        SHUT THE FUCK UP, LIBTARD!

      • Jarflax

        Hey, by all means vote for the candidate you most agree with. I certainly think that is a sane choice. I just question whether Bill Weld is actually more libertarian than Trump.

      • Trigger Hippie: Hair Jizz

        I’ve been considering writing in Darryl Perry.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        Weld is running as a Republican this year, so your question is moot.

        Now try to tell me that Trump is more libertarian than NH Libertarian Party Primary winner Vermin Supreme. Yes, he wants to mandate tooth brushing, but Trump expects his dick suck for paid parental leave.

      • Winston

        Weld is running as a Republican this year, so your question is moot.

        At least he got one delegate in Iowa.

        Lincoln Chaffee is the Boston Brahmin ex-Republican running for Libertarian Party.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        He also has really weird hair.

      • Jarflax

        I like a good libertarian clown as much as anyone, but I am not going to cast a protest vote. I actually like Trump overall. I am not blind to his flaws, and if there were a serious candidate running that was better I’d vote for them, but liberty is not going to thrive if the current crop of Democrats get elected.

      • Spudalicious

        “Trump expects his dick suck for paid parental leave.”

        How is this not Glibertarian?

      • Bobarian LMD

        The best thing I think you can say about Trump?

        He actually tries to keep his campaign promises.

    • Chipwooder

      Very true. For all his flaws, he knows how to put on a spectacle.

      I remember, early in his campaign, Mark Steyn covered one of his rallies. He went into it thinking it was kind of a joke, but came out of it thinking that Trump was a legit candidate because he worked the crowd so well and generated the kind of enthusiasm all pols dream of but few can pull off.

    I know this old but George Lucas on the Soviet film industry:

    And I used to say this all the time, with people, you know, back when Russia was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and they’d say, “Oh, but aren’t you so glad that you’re in America?” And I’d say, well, I know a lot of Russian filmmakers and they have a lot more freedom than I have. All they have to do is be careful about criticizing the government. Otherwise, they can do anything they want.

    Of course the USSR would have allowed him to get all that money from merchandizing or to make the Special Editions or to sell it to Disney for Billions to avoid Obama’s taxes.

    Also what does Lucas think of Kelly Marie Tran? Her parents fled when the commies took over South Vietnam and the Ewoks are supposed to be the Viet Cong and Palpatine Nixon.

    However, the non-stop look of Pelosi and her facial expressions like someone kept waving a turd under her nose was worth it. And I suppose the ripping of the speech was meant to be like The Who tearing apart their instruments. Nevertheless, just a tantrum.

    You really touched a nerve Man….

    • BigLoveTomato

      and he runs off….

      • BigLoveTomato

        Pussy….

      • CPRM

        Calmo te essay.

      • BigLoveTomato

        I’m tired of being a White apologist, WE BUILT THE WORLD!
        everyone else glommed on, don’t talk shit about it, it’s old

      • straffinrun

        Too aggressive, Yusef.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        I have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

      • BigLoveTomato

        I don’t either, I’m not being aggressive at all…..
        if you want to fight in a war, who cares what Color you are,
        No Black Brownie Points, that’s Racist…

      • straffinrun

        Don’t call others here “Pussy”. Too much IMO.

      • BigLoveTomato

        I’m Sorry HM,

      • Heroic Mulatto

        No worries, my friend.

      • Festus

        Jesus, Bob. I am so sorry about that.

      • CPRM

        Take a second. Breathe. Nobody, here of all places, is asking you to apologize for anything. Do you need to talk about what’s going on with Wendy? We can be here for you for that. If not, then we can snark. HM isn’t out to get you, he’s just snarking, like we all do every night.

      • BigLoveTomato

        OK, I get it, you are right, just feel as if Whites are under attack, and Hm is good at fucking with people,(good on HM).
        I don’t want to talk about Wendy, it’s not good, I need to sign a DNR, and I’m Crushed, what do you do?

      • BigLoveTomato

        Haven’t signed it yet, need more consultation…

      • Heroic Mulatto

        I’m sorry to hear that.

        Have you spoken with a patient advocate?

      • BigLoveTomato

        @Hm, no, I have no idea what to do, and have Zero backup or advice, for real…

      • CPRM

        My dad had a DNR. It’s what he wanted, but when I found him dead I threw that across the room and forced the paramedics to try defibrillation when they finally arrived. Ir can be hard, but I’ve had loved ones on death’s door recover as well. You just never know, but at the very least if something goes wrong, you have memories. The most noble goal, if it comes to a bad end, is to honor what they most valued. If it’s family, work hard on that, if it’s something else work hard on that. The flame me be extinguished, but the values can not. It’s what it all comes down to, no matter when the end comes, value the time you had or have, try to honor the memory if the time comes.

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        Yusef, call the hospital’s palliative care team and/or social worker and/or chaplain.

        Any of those people will be able to guide you to the right resources and support you.

        If nothing else, go see the hospital’s chaplain.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        @Yusef

        What Mo said. They will guide you to the patient advocate if you feel you need one. Basically it’s someone who knows the health care system and will advocate on behalf of you to make sure the doctors do what you want them to do in this case.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Sorry man.

        Mojeaux is correct. You need to speak to the palliative care specialist at the hospital. It is a specialty until itself.

        Again, my condolences.

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        TBH, the palliative care team should have already been in contact with you and working closely with you, even if only by phone.

      • Spudalicious

        I’ll reach out to you tomorrow, buddy.

  87. Festus

    Found out today that I can do stuff again in two week’s time but to stay away from strenuous stuff. Discovered last night that my replacement is goinking my contracts. Also found out that the company has fallen on its face regarding paperwork that pays me for the time that I’m off. It’s a good night at Casa Festus. Guess who’s going back to work sooner rather than later? Fucking Festus, that’s who. Cuntes, the lot of them.

    • CPRM

      I envy your right to health care.

      • BigLoveTomato

        #me too

      • Festus

        It was free except for the loss of individuality. It’s not as bad as what we’ve read about the NHS but close. Mind you, I never paid one shiny dime out of pocket for any of it.

      • Lord Digby

        Get really shitty with the reps/whoever it is that handles complaints. Give their Canucki passive, good-natured passivity a right good walloping.

        What are they gonna do, get mad??

      • Festus

        I dunno. Load you up with intravenous drugs that they know you won’t enjoy? Make you squirm for twelve hours? I never should have called that RN a fat-ass.

      • Lord Digby

        Well, you don’t do it while they have any instrument or device connected to your body!

      • Festus

        Lesson learned.

    • straffinrun

      Glad to hear you’re getting back to full strength.

      • Festus

        But I’m not. That’s the problem.

      • straffinrun

        Half strength Festus > Full strength straff

    • KSuellington

      Right on, give em hell. Glad you can get back to work, it’s good to keep the mind and body busy. And it pays da bills.

      • Festus

        Still mending. Maybe I wasn’t clear. I have to go back because the company fucked up and I won’t be ready.

      • KSuellington

        Actually I’ve had several beers and didn’t quite get your op the first read. Sorry they’re fucking up.

      • Festus

        Bah. I’ll live but it pisses me off to no end. I was going back sooner rather than later anyway. In the meantime, my bennies are delayed. Spoiled Canadian.

  88. CPRM

    I could be working as soon as a week from today or 3 weeks from today. Real clear window there Moe.

    • Festus

      Nice to wait on that call, isn’t it? I used to work contracts and it was “hurry-up-and-wait”.

      • Festus

        Next thing you know there are six that need to be dealt with at once.

  89. KSuellington

    Well, it looks like the final counts have been tabulated and now Biden has declared himself the winner of the Idaho caucus.

    • straffinrun

      China using the same app to count Corona virus cases.

      • BigLoveTomato

        t
        that makes sense,

  90. DrOtto

    I never bring up politics with customers, but won’t shy away when they bring it up. What had to be a white supremacist African American told me he thought Trump was a vulgar, pathological liar, but that he has done more for ordinary Americans than the last several presidents and that he was going to vote for him come November. I don’t think the democrats are going to have a chance in 2020. Rumor has it Iowa is going so bad because a majority chose “none of the above.”

    • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

      The elites don’t like ordinary Americans.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        You are correct there. I’ve known enough of them to know that is absolutely true.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        Every American think he or she is the definition of “ordinary”.

      • Rhywun
      • Heroic Mulatto

        That’s why though. When deep down inside you think you are ordinary, you’ll go to great lengths to accentuate your individuality. A certain amount of this is healthy.

        But then you get this guy.

      • Rhywun

        A certain amount of this is healthy.

        Agreed. I don’t like the extremes in either direction.

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        So I’m sitting here typing and erasing trying to define “ordinary American” and I can’t.

      • CPRM

        ‘Watched at least one episode of ‘Home Improvement’?

      • Jarflax

        ordinary American: an American who shares whatever particular trait the speaker is thinking about at the moment that speaker wishes to differentiate themselves from those who do not share said trait.

      • Jarflax

        As in:

        HM announced that ordinary Americans don’t tolerate people who won’t eat ass!

    • straffinrun

      My only wish is that the vote doesn’t get decided solely on identity lines. People are drawing lines around everybody and declaring them part of this or that group. “You vote this way!” It’s disgusting.

      • Rhywun

        It’s looking like that mat be less of a factor than usual, if recent polls are any indication.

      • Urthona

        Who are the people with massive phalluses supposed to vote for this time around? Important I know this.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Milton Berle?

  91. Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

    Decided I’m not going to the parade tomorrow. Too cold and today when I was out shopping I was short of breath while not doing much at all. Don’t know if it was deconditioning, a panic attack, or my ulcer. I also can’t deal with a million people and no organized parking and not knowing where the johns are.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      There johns are usually trolling the street corners in their Camrys about this time of night.

    • Heroic Mulatto

      You may call yourself Gilmore v2, but don’t think you have an N-Word Pass like Gilmore v1.

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        *haughty sniff*

        1) I do not want or need an n-word pass.

        2) Why does Gilmore v1 get one and not me?

        3) I just keep misthreading every other fucking reply.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        To answer #2, it’s because Gilmore v1 was always the blackest Glib.

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        Ah.

        *scribbles that in the Glibs dossier*

      • Brochettaward

        How do I get me one of these N-Word Passes?

      • straffinrun

        Say it three times out loud in front of a mirror at midnight.

      • BigLoveTomato

        Biggie Smalls?

      • BigLoveTomato

        Nigger, I have one, 1st Amendment,
        unless I get Cat butted….

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        It involves hentai, twerking, and evolutionary linguistics..

        It’s really not worth it.

      • Brochettaward

        You have no idea how much time I do or don’t have to waste, buddy.

      • Heroic Mulatto

        You have to make ribs and have them pass muster from a panel of 3 black barbecue pitmasters. Then, you have to make potato salad and have it pass muster from a panel of 3 black church ladies. Finally, you have to make sweet potato pie and have it pass muster from a panel of 3 black grandmas.

        Also, you have to do the Electric Slide perfectly.

      • BigLoveTomato

        I got it all! except for the Slide…
        white folks issues 🙂

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        It’s a trap!

        you have to make potato salad and have it pass muster from a panel of 3 black church ladies

        Not possible. Every black church lady thinks hers is the best and everyone else’s is crap.

      • Mojeaux, Gilmore v2

        Actually, that kinda goes for all church women who make potato salad.

      • BigLoveTomato

        And I identify as an old Black Lady…

      • BigLoveTomato

        Ahhhh, Truth!

      • CPRM

        Every black church lady thinks hers is the best and everyone else’s is crap. They don’t get to claim this.

      • straffinrun

        The buffet in hell is a endless trough of potato salad.

      • Festus

        Hey! I like pertater salad.

      • Jarflax

        If the potatoes were sufficiently cooked potato salad is acceptable.

      • straffinrun

        Potato salad, tater tots, Fritos, Jello molds…

        Traded all that for dried seaweed and unagi pie.

        No regrets.

      • Brochettaward

        Straffinrun = confirmed traitor.

      • Chipwooder

        I thought that was deviled eggs

    • Urthona

      Hell is parades, according to Jean Paul Sartre and the transitive property of equality.

  92. straffinrun

    Evidently, in my drunken stupor last weekend I told a Japanese gal whose head is flat in the back that her ponytail makes it look like an elephant’s butt. My buddy waits till Wednesday to remind me of that. Sorry, lady I’ll never meet again.

    • Urthona

      Smooth talker.

    • Heroic Mulatto

      You can always fix that by adding that’s your fetish.

      • BigLoveTomato

        Rule 34?

      • straffinrun

        I’ve tried the, “I love ugly chicks” pick up line before. Mixed results.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        By mixed results you mean you scored some ugly chicks, right?

      • straffinrun

        Only the really, really ugly chicks. The just ugly ones felt insulted. *Shrugs*

      • CPRM

        Really Ugly Japanese chicks beat a Wisconsin 7.

      • straffinrun

        Nah. Sometimes a little blubber covers up freakish skeletal structures. Many times I’ve seen a thin Japanese gal and thought, “Are your hip bones made of bent hangers?”

      • CPRM

        I’m not talking skinny. Just attractiveness. Since I moved back to Wisconsin 17 years ago, I’ve seen like 10 attractive women

      • Festus

        You guys and your yellow fever.

      • straffinrun

        I’m 51, married with kid and am surrounded by phoreign phenotypes. White chicks start looking good again.

      • CPRM

        Not even yellow fever, just the lack of attractive women.

      • straffinrun

        How is it not relative? The girl next door is always hotter than whatever chick is on TV.

      • CPRM

        The average ‘chick next door’ in my area is on Social Security (or married or a baby mama). Not my type.

      • straffinrun

        Mehcel is worse than incel.

    • Festus

      That.Was.Awesome! Do it again!

      • straffinrun

        She had Down’s syndrome, was on her way to the rape crisis center and never tasted unconditional love in her life. I mean, I can’t help feeling I may have gone a little too far.

      • Jarflax

        Did you lean in and sniff and add “Smells like one too”?

      • Festus

        Glib confirmation.

    • CPRM

      I try not to watch porn with men in it, for equality or something. I mean I’m not homophobic, it’s just seeing a dude doesn’t get me hard.

      You run your cheating company and call it SHADOW…

  94. Don Escaped Texas

    define “ordinary American”

    He
    a/ is a self-made socialist, born in a cabin he built with his own two hands on a conforming mortgage
    b/ believes everyone should be free to agree with him and finds their media ridiculous
    c/ is fat; the poorer, the fatter
    d/ worries that his $50,000 car doesn’t get good fuel economy
    e/ hasn’t paid off his mortgage because he needs the tax deduction
    f/ thinks doG’s plan for the Middle East won’t come true if he doesn’t vote for the right guy
    g/ is relieved that the NorKs were stopped just short of the Rio Grande
    h/ knows that colds are caused by the cold, heavy objects fall faster, friction is a function of surface area, and hot water freezes sooner than cold.

    • Jarflax

      If they are heavy enough they do fall faster. The Moon for example falls about 1 km/sec.

      • Festus

        I thought that the moon will fly away, eventually.

      • Jarflax

        I was just making a physics joke. Gravity is a mutual attraction, so if the object ‘falling’ is massive enough to register the attractive force would be more than 1 gravity and the ‘falling’ would accelerate accordingly.

    • Festus

      Nope. He likes everyone else to leave him the fuck alone when he’s doing something that others might not care for. That’s your average American.

    • straffinrun

      Sang that to a Duran Duran melody.
