Survey says I’m a Paleolibertarian bitches. That means I eat “L”ibertarians for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Soave tastes a little fruity. Wait a minute, that doesn’t sound quite right…
Whoa! Dare I? I’ve never been…
Grats! Is it true you banged ALL of SNSD?
Haha, I’ve had this nick/username longer than he’s been alive. But I like that mistaken identity more than when I was in college and some nut sent me an angry email because he apparently thought it was short for “Grand Dragon”. These days he’d probably get a scholarship for that and I’d get kicked out of school 😉

Dogs are, at best, 2 year old children, FFS! I hate Dog haters!
/Bella!
Ok, if an animal bites me, it’s right to life is forfeit. And if it was going to be put down, using an ax instead of a bullet or a phenobarbital shot doesn’t concern me in the least.
And I may be the most pro-dog person there is.
Context, as I just showed Yufus. THIS 80 lb. set of teeth acted like he wanted to rip my face off for putting a stupid BarkBox tux on him. But he was acting. Know your audience.
And if dude cant control an animal w/o hacking it with an axe after he slammed it into a wall?
His kids are likely going to be next.
(assuming the article is true)
He didn’t control it with an axe. He controlled it by throwing it against a wall. When he decided that it was too injured to be worth the vet bill, he put it down with an axe.
If you can’t control your animal, give it to some one that can, or put it down, at the the park, Bella is Always on a leash, she’s a maniac, loves the people, but the Boxer in her makes her claws weapons, she still loves it…
so do I.
Ehhh…for me, it depends on the situation. This is a family pet who’s clearly scared shitless of the guy biting in a panic. I lost my shit on one of my dogs once and he definitely tried a light growl out on me because he was scared. Mind you, he’d chewed a piece of the couch off, spread trash throughout the house, shat all over the hardwood floors, and I was not having a good day to begin with, so I was not at my best. Besides, how hard is it to get a spoon with peanut butter? One tablespoon of peanut butter and you can get a dog to build you a deck.
You have more information than is presented in the article. Ofc, the guy may be completely full of shit too.
The guy is full of shit. I asked a question about defending against dogs, but I’ve been bit a bunch of times and mostly it was normal dog behavior.
You’re not wrong. When I was growing up, getting bitten by a dog was NBD.
However, I also have no problem with punching/kicking/throwing against the wall a dog that bites. Physical aggression met with physical aggression is legit dogspeak.
I strongly suspect that the guy and his wife were on the glide path to a divorce before this happened.
Well I’m just guessing that it’s a small dog because he threw it against a wall hard enough to cause some sort of grievous injury and he didn’t look like he lifts, and I’m also guessing that the dog was scared because it was hiding under a table from a guy who was angry enough that it wouldn’t do what he wanted that he ended up breaking it against a wall and killing it with an ax. Besides, by the time he gets to the ax he’s already down for one count of animal cruelty for throwing it against a wall.
I would have a hard time throwing 50lb. Bella against a wall hard enough to hurt he, let alone break her neck,
/Dense
Yeah, Pitties are remarkably resilient. I had one that was so determined to stop me from leaving that she chomped down on the FRONT tire as I was driving away. I ran over her completely and she showed no ill effects.
She also did not stop the car, because I was driving on ZR rated Michelin Pilots at the time. Come to think if it, that car only weighed 2800 lbs, and had really wide tires.
Define ‘Bite’, defensive nip or aggressive snap. Also if it was his dog he can do whatever the fuck he wants, if it was his wife’s dog however things get sketchy. Interesting question with family pets, who is the owner?
So by that logic, if it was 1864, and it was his human slave….he can do w/e, right?
I mean, it was still legal.
And you’d have the right to hit him in the head with a football helmet, too.
It’s practically a duty.
Let it go, you were wrong it’s not the end of the world.
Lying is lying.
The only thing I was wrong about was thinking it a good idea to argue with a troll. That’s an hour of sleep I’ll never get back.
Now, let’s talk about the R&R HOF…
Aww…does it sting ?
Actually, that’s not entirely true. Your pets are your property, but most states have animal cruelty laws that make it a crime to abuse your pets, and certainly a crime to kill them. Now, if you’ve got a dog that’s terminally ill or grievously injured, and you’ve demonstrated some sort of effort to provide at least some kind of care, and you wind up putting the dog out of its misery, you’ll probably be alright. You’ll likely have a hearing, but you’ll probably not get in any kind of trouble for it. If you break your dog’s spine because you have severe anger management issues and then kill it with an axe instead of taking it to an animal hospital, say, you’re getting a conviction.
No, it doesn’t. The logic that I can own a dog and property rights mean that I can do with it as I see fit does not translate to Men since I cannot own another person against their will.
You cant now. But in pre-1865 America you could.
^This. Also, community property, maybe? I’ve never actually bought a pet, but I think if/when you get a license you have to put the owner’s name down.
Bella is my Grand daughters dog, but I have the license, therefore, my Dog…
Yeah, my dogs belong to my daughter now on the basis of her liberal offerings of peanut butter, chicken nuggets, actual dog treats, etc., but legally speaking I’m on the hook according to the county.
Oh, he’s gonna be a hit in jail.
They dont take kindly to people that do stuff to pets. Or kids.

Sorry for the confusion.
Didn’t I just see them get torn apart by the Sabres? Why, yes I did.
Despite what Toronto sports media might tell you, the Leafs suck. Average goaltending, suspect defense, and star forwards who play a 100-foot game ain’t gonna get it done.
I’m getting a little tired of all the talent moving to the fucking south and west. Tampa? Dallas?? GTFO.
Guess they’ll have to wait until oil prices rise and the CND is worth more.
Oh, and Tampa and Dallas don’t have income tax.
Heh. QFFT, though.
Oh, there’s no doubt cost of living is driving a lot of it. The sports writers talk about it all the time.

The one thing that everyone has told me, from Cthulu to the Never Ending Story, is that old books are the best books.
My 1940 printing of The Host’s handbook lists Old Overholt as “The Greatest of Pennsylvania Ryes.””

As I figured – industry consolidation. Better to come from KY now, then not at all.

Drake hardest hit. Move, you poor bastard.
Prog on NJ. But don’t fund those pensions. It will make things more interesting when things come crashing down.
Don’t kid yourself – this is all about the pensions. “Residents still struggling to get by” aren’t going to see a fucking dime.
I agree the poor will see little to nothing of the new tax money. I also predict it will go to new spending rather than backfilling their grossly underfunded pensions.
If it passes as proposed it should also spur a greater number of people to move out of state. See California.
Yeah, you’re probably right. Someone will plug up the pension gap later. There’s good graftin’ out there now, ready for the taking.
Bernie Sanders scary history of Socialist praise

Lucky for him, there are a lot of clueless idiots.
Well, I made some truly kickass chicken enchiladas with arroz amarillo for dinner. Feeling quite satisfied with my own bad self (considering I’m generally critical about my cooking and can find something that needed improvement).
Love it. I have the same attitude.
I made God’s own enchilada gravy one night.
I wish I could remember how I did it.
I have a similar experience with a hastily-made Spanish Rice (using canned fire-roasted tomatoes) which was the best damn Spanish rice I’d ever had. Can’t reproduce it to this day.
Armadillo rice?!
Great texture.
‘Splain amarillo rice? I’m interested….
Saute (in olive oil) chopped white onion and jasmine rice. When rice is lightly browned or starts ‘popping’, pour in chicken stock, tomato sauce, some water and a sprinkle of cumin. Bring to boil, then cover and drop heat to simmer. When liquid is absorbed, fork the rice to unclump it and mix in peas (and carrots if you like) and let the rice continue to cook – it should be light and fluffy (with some crispy bits at the bottom of the pan) when you serve. I did a cup and a half of rice, one 12oz can of stock, small can of tomato sauce and small can of peas, and a half cup of water – that’s the small batch proportions.
Stolen.
@Shirley Knott,
I Can’t Get That Monster out of My Mind:
Rambling notes…
It flows perfectly from the last line of the previous essay, On Self Respect: “…one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home.”
No One At Home is the empty studio. The studio that strives to be what everyone wants it to be, to please, to serve. And thus is never loved for what it is. In this way Hollywood is not so much The Destroyer as it is The Enabler, facilitating the suicides of those running away *to* themselves.
Occasionally, the empty studio is Taoism’s block of wood, and original art is revealed.
As for the Slouching essay itself, wow. The kid on acid at the end really cinched it. Contrasting that with Thompson’s romanticizing of the hippie movement… yeah: “We were seeing something important… the desperate attempt of a handful of pathetically unequipped children to create a community in a social vacuum. … They are less in rebellion against the society than ignorant of it…” Brilliant.
Saw your post from a couple of weeks ago. Yes, need to plan a meet up, and any other Nashvilleglibs too. Been busy as you can imagine, but if there’s a night that works best maybe watch a Preds game at B-dubs or something.
That’d be great. I’m free this Friday. Should be a good game.
Mount Juliet?
Yeah if that works for you. I’ll email you on Thursday to double check.
Cool.
Very glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thompson & Didion mark two such different yet true perspectives on those days that the contrast paints a more complete picture than either alone.
I pulled out my copy of Slouching and re-read all but 1 or 2 pieces. ‘Wow’ remains my overall attitude. What I did pick up on, though, was how very well the articles flowed into each other — as with “On Self Respect,” “Just Can’t Get That Monster,” and the morality piece. Thanks for inspiring me to dive back into it!
From the recently dead thread:
Anybody have experience with Ezra Brooks? The booze store has it on sale for $20, and the bottler is currently offering a $6 mail in rebate on top of that. For a 1.75 liter. It’s almost so cheap you have to buy it just because, but not being a big cocktails guy I want something I can drink with nothing more than a splash of water. Opinions?
Worth a shot right?
(pun intended?)
I suppose. I just feel a tish burnt (pun intended) by the last ultra cheap bourbon I bought (Jeffer’s Creek.)
But yeah, for that price I guess I can use it as a disinfectant if nothing else.

Love the Kinks, the fact that they aren’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just proves what a bunch of shit that institutions is. but did you have to play “Lola”, Spud? Jesus man. I guess it wasn’t ‘Come Dancing” so it could have been worse. Here’s a better Kinks song that isn’t played every three hours on every ‘AOR’ station in America.
You should really up your trolling game.

I guess their induction into the R&R HOF in 1990 was that one year that didn’t count?
That was last century.
Completely wrong on the helmet thing, but I actually enjoyed reading the whole interaction.
I throw up a post in less than five minutes and you’re bitching about the song selection…
Don’t worry about it Spud, you’re a well respected man around here https://youtu.be/4WsmSgBRUe4
It’s not surprising, though. Spud is a 20th century man.
Also, a Heterosexual Man.
He’s sort of Soave metrosexual, but with more of an elderly Mickey Rooney vibe. Or Andy Rooney.
So he’s not like everybody else?
Another Kinks favorite.
Yes I am. Also, I fail to see your point. Also, Pick better songs.

Hardcore punk from Morgantown, WV circa 1985.
Their singer Bob Cotter just passed away last week in Pittsburgh, PA. 60 years old.
Toured with Dead Kennedy’s, DRI, Corrosion of Conformity, and many other great bands. One of the first punk bands I saw live; they were very instrumental in my early hardcore endeavors.

Do y’all have some wounded/rehab vet organization to recommend? My dad passed away last week and my mom would like to donate his very nice wheelchair to such an org, but my understanding is Wounded Warriors is a scheme. There’s the VA of course, but if there’s another place I should call, I’d appreciate it.
Damn. I’m sorry, athena. I have no idea, but my condolences to you and your family.
Sorry to hear that athena. Try the VFW, or the American Legion.
We’re thinking alike, Spud. They may be able to use one at either of the clubs. Sad to hear about your Dad, athena. We only get one, though I was fortunate enough to get 2 stepfathers that were good to my mother.
Every veterans group set up in front of the grocery store gets money from me, without question.
Me too, and I hate plastic VFW poppies, and disagree with the mandatory patriotism of American Legion.
Ditto.
Does it have to be military-related? The Sally Ann up here in Canada operates many fine “recycling” depots for such stuff, and I’ve seen other community-based orgs do the same.
I think your local VFW will take it.
I have the same issue, Wendy’s power chair, I plan on selling it to a place that refurbishes them and does some charity stuff,
I have a friend in Phoenix that rehabs wheelchairs.
Ooh, that sounds like a good match! Right there in arizona!
Sorry to hear that Athena.
https://www.purpleheartpickup.org
Maybe?
My condolences for your loss, Athena. And yes, Wounded Warriors is pretty scammy.
I’d go with the VFW or American Legion, especially if you can find a local post near you.
So very sorry to hear that. Maybe the Disabled American Veteran, http://www.dav.org
What he said…DAV
I be a she…
I too offer my condolences.
I agree with the others–keep it as local and direct as possible to maximize benefit and minimize delay and needless costs.
VFW, Moose Lodge, Rotarians, Kiwanis, Freemasons (not even kidding; i’m from a long line of ’em). Make some calls and emails and see who cares enough to twitch.
My condolences about your dad.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Another idea for the wheelchair donation: I get the impression there are Honor Flight chapters around the country, and apparently at least some of them accept donated chairs. I forget what area you’re in, but you might see if there’s a nearby chapter.
Regional Honor Flight hubs.
My condolences, Athena.
Oh, I am so sorry about this. Too much of that sort of thing going around.
My condolences Athena.
Condolences, Athena.
Condolences, Athena. Been there and it’s a reality check.
Late to the party with a comment, but, my condolences as well, OTA.
I’m sorry Athena,
Do not give it to the VA…DO NOT give it to them. They’ll honestly have no idea what to do with it and it’ll wind up either at a yard sale or Legion/VFW hall.
There is also these guys. https://soldiersangels.org/Wheelchair-Donation.html
I don’t go to big rock shows much these days, but I think I will make an exception for this one. Primus is playing a Rush tribute tour where they will do the “Farewell to Kings” album in its entirety. They’re playing at the Greek Theatre across the Bay, which is a pretty sweet venue.
Here is a short article about it and a list of dates for the Rush fans out there in glibdom.

Had a voicemail tonight. Some woman talking in Russian with occasional english words tossed in. Thought it was odd. An hour later, my mom called. My uncle died behind the wheel of his truck. It was his Russian mail order bride trying to tell everyone he had in his phonebook.
I’m surprised he had my number. I dont think I had seen the man in about fifteen years.
He was always a “there but for the grace of god goes I” kind of guy. His aspergers was crippling. Smart enough for a doctorate in physics, he could never live in the world. Left his job at a nuclear plant when he was convinced that the commies were after him. Spent the rest of his life throwing his efforts away on pyramid schemes and cults. His relations with the family was…strained.
Am I going to be remembered and felt about by my family in the same way? Should I have reached put to the guy more?
Fucked if I know.
Wow. That sounds like something you process over a long time on a low simmer.
I recommend a shot of vodka for tonight though.
Feel the virtual hugs of your Glibs family for now.
My family isn’t real close. I tried for years to reach out to everyone and after some time I realized the phone works both ways and I’m not responsible for fixing everything. I don’t know if that helps. Probably not.
. . . after some time I realized the phone works both ways and I’m not responsible for fixing everything.
I too have had that epiphany in the last few years.
Ditto.
Sorry.
I’m not going to begrudge anyone I haven’t phoned in years if they don’t show up at my funeral. But if they do…
he was convinced that the commies were after him
his Russian mail order bride
I’d say he was right, and they got him with the classic honeypot.
Oy. I don’t think there is an easy answer for this one. I’d let this percolate for a while.
That is one hot fucking chimp.

Waaay too old for you.
So, my cable company just dropped Fox Soccer Plus* and made it $10/month subscription-only. I am SO fucking ready to drop these assholes and move to something like Fubo.
*I mostly watch it for Aussie Rules
/First world problems
I was just about to switch from Dish to streaming, and what do I start hearing about – streaming bundles. The fuckers!
Yeah, I just sunk the last half hour looking into Fubo bundles in order to assemble the channels I want. Same fucking shit as cable – I need like the top plan + one or two extras. Oh, but it includes the Weather Channel. Aiiiieeeeeee!
I’m still stewing over this. The whole thing is so ridiculous – Fox Soccer Plus is just overflow for Fox Sports – shit nobody watches like Aussie Rules and… soccer – the less popular teams. Whereas Fox Sports has the more expensive stuff like wrestling (!) and Bayern Munich. But to catch the teams I actually want to watch I have to go to Fox Soccer Plus. Why are they asking extra for the less popular shit? It doesn’t make economic sense.
Fubo is great for futbol, Aussie rules, and so much more!! I love it. I get it over Roku.
What plan do you have? Because a lot of Aussie Rules appears to be on one of the upper tiers you have to pay extra for. (Fox Soccer Plus shows the most matches – some are repeated on FS1 or FS2. Fox Soccer Plus is not in the standard package.)
So going for a better mood in my night, I love this.

I saw it and replied.
As previously mentioned, I’m finally getting around to watching Stranger Things given it came out over four years ago, I assume I’m not bound to avoid spoilers.
I’m starting to have some issues with the decision making of the characters, to wit:
You are wandering around the woods at night, looking for some sort of monster. You find a wounded deer, which gets snatched away by something you don’t see.
You follow the blood trail and find a large hole in a tree, emitting scary sounds and filled with blood and some sort of goo.
Do you:
A) run the fuck out of the woods
B) crawl into this blood- and goo-filled hole
You know who else was getting into stranger things?
SugarFree?
My wife and daughter watch it. I sat through one, maybe two, episodes the first season. I had the same problem you do. Way too many improbable decisions.
In least surprising news:
Actress Rosario Dawson Comes Out as Lesbian Just One Month After She ‘Dated’ Cory Booker.
At the risk of giving the impression I actually give a shit… does this mean she wasn’t really his beard after all?!
I take it to mean that she was indeed his beard, he’s just not coming out yet.
That’s a reasonably wide-spread opinion.
Phrasing?
Hi-yo!

My brother said after the Senator got caught “proposing” a tryst in a MPLS-STP airport restroom and claimed he had a “wide stance.”
Thereafter when the other attorneys happened to meet in the restroom stalls, they invariably greeted each other with “Senator”, “Senator, ho do you do?”
LOL I did not click on the link before my comment. With the big beard-o image.
That was a nice touch.
It’s a great feeling when you realize you’re the one that turned them gay.
Happened to me once–broke up with a dude, next time I saw him he was “with” a dude. Ouch. I hope he is happy taking it up the ass.
I felt like a failure as a female at the time, but i have been assured to the contrary by subsequent experiences.
Nah. There’s no TV show called “Screwed Straight”.
::furiously takes notes::
“Hello, Netflix?”
Damn straight.
DAMN straight, you mean.
Maybe he’s a top. ?♂️
Do gay guys ask whether you’re a top or bottom when picking up a guy at a bar?
Pffft, it’s like you’re totally unaware of the vast bandana code.
(was that ever really a thing?)
Not in my experience. One can make an educated guess but that’s not infallible.
But that’s what the back-pocket hanky system was for, at least apocryphally.
My God–that seems like it would require a

“We work hard. We play harder!”
JFC that’s complicated. I’d switch just to uncomplicate my life.
Hence my belief that the whole thing is probably made-up. Or at least greatly exaggerated.
I can easily believe that.
It’s probably non-verbal. Dudes just kind of check your ‘tude and are like, “He’s a pounder” or “He’s a receiver”.
I have no idea. Sorry if I offended any gay Glibs. Gay Human Bones https://youtu.be/vyOYx0Xzrqg
Not at all. That’s exactly what happens.
A party friend Heather dated an obviously gay guy for a while. One night me and a couple friends finally asked her why she was dating a gay guy and told her it was obvious. She blew us off and didn’t believe it.
Fast forward a couple weeks and her and the boyfriend went to a 50th birthday party for a gay friend. He had a big house and everyone was getting trashed and many were spending the night. Heather passed out, and when she woke up later to go to the bathroom she heard much loud noise in the birthday boy’s bedroom. When she opened the door the boyfriend was on the receiving end.
Heather freaked out and started walking away. The boyfriend ran out crying and told her, “I don’t know why I do that whenever I get drunk!” We got some good laughs with her after the incident.
It sounds ridiculous but there was a woman in my circle who was living with an obviously gay guy. Lost touch so I don’t know how it turned out. I miss them, they were both lots of fun.
I have a friend that I hung around with pretty regularly from Jr High through college that I always suspected was gay but never asked. He checked a lot of the boxes and made me very uncomfortable a few times in college when he crashed at my place after a long night of drinking. He ended up marrying his college girlfriend, but I always thought he would eventually come out. I have a strong suspicion that his wife is a lesbian and it’s kind of an arranged marriage / more of a friendship type marriage. They both came from nice, fairly conservative homes. They never had their own kids, but did adopt. I kind of lost track of him about 10 years ago, so I guess I’ll never know. Not that it matters, just kind of a mystery.
Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?

1. Wasn’t she married at least once before?
2. Wow Cory Booker is a bad lay.
3. This really opens some possibilities for the Guardians of the Galaxy porn parody.
4. What in the holy hell happened during their relationship that she had to assess her sexuality?
Umm, Chafed, buddy….wrong Marvel property.
Fuck. I was thinking of Zoe Saldana. I guess they al-
Yeah, best to just stick with Star Wars.
1) Nope
2) possibly
3) She wasn’t in Guardians of the Galaxy. Are you thinking of another woman of color? Grand dragon, confirmed.
4) she was always a beard
4a) He has always been in the closet
3) Hangs head in shame.
An understandable confusion, though Rosario has a much better rack.
I’ll need a better photo to make that determination.
See–this is why I want Chafed to represent me, should I ever need to bargain.
very NSFW
Rosario looks great naked.
My fees are reasonable. Sign right here.
That’s very NSFW? Do you work in a monastery?

Chafed–that’s a Denny’s menu.

Apparently the ‘safe search: off’ setting isn’t part of the URL. Try hitting that and you’ll see what I mean.
Why you fuckin’ a racist, yo?
He looks very proud of himself.
Replace “Roots” with “Star Wars 4, 5, 6” and I’m guilty of the same thing. including the threat to “remain seated and watch the movie with him or he would kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago.”
“He comes the best part – Ewoks!”
You really are a monster.
Yub-nub.
Did Sy Snootles bring out any…fetishes?
/why the hell am I asking this?
I have the original Max Rebo figure set on a shelf right behind me.
Out-?-standing! A friend has a Chewie from the original 11-12″ line that he’s held onto since childhood, and has offered to me. No Bow-caster, though…dammit.
Yeah, the weapons are always tough to hold on to.
The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake or “Where did all my cousins go?”
Boy, am I ever glad that no individuals ever participated in this…what’s it called?…”Family” thing.
Of course, he doesn’t actually discuss the War on Poverty and social programs and Baby Daddy Uncle Sam and the deliberate destruction of the family.
And yet, the “Greatest” Generation set up those precedence to those social engineering programs to artificially incentivize the atomization of the extended families in urban areas to force a movement into the suburbs.
Did you say Levittown?
I agree those were the results. What makes you say it was the intention?
Because prior to the 30s, one of the biggest “social problems” was the blight of urban overcrowding. The cities were filled with tenements and garbage, etc.. However, even as fortunes improved, families didn’t move out of the city, they just relocated to different neighborhoods and the slum areas would be filled with the next wave of immigration. Progressives of the them, who liked living near the downtown of cities because of “culture” but didn’t like miasma and crowded streets, addressed this through a combination of strictly limiting immigration and since the extended family was, in part, a circumstance of limited housing, used social engineering policies to move the locus of the family to a suburban detached house.
Isn’t that conflating federal programs with state and/or city zoning and urban planning? I realize there is some crossover. It seems to me the federal welfare programs weren’t designed to destroy families though they have contributed to it. Local policies were intentionally or recklessly used to destroy communities and push people out.
Urban renewal was largely federally funded.

Carry on, dude. Although, I can prove you’re not the capital-G “God”. But, I have a feeling he wouldn’t like the test I would use.
LOL I think that’s hilarious.
If you squint, he does look a little like George Burns, though.
He’s got to be a lurker.
Wife is out of town for work. I fried up a steak and some buttered rice. Watched “Mata Hari” on Amazon (Cannon films 1985 lots of boobs and Eurotrash). Hanging with you lot. Think I’ll throw a load of laundry in the washer and strum my guitar.
“Strum my guitar” I’ve never heard it called that before.
I was just about to ask about that…
Just loaded this gem up on Amazon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She_(1984_film)
I really enjoy shitty 80’s films. Plus boobs.
E, if I may–
Just offering a friendly critique!
I like who did the music.
Excellent point!
Thanks, everybody, and those are all good ideas for what to do with the chair.
He was 88, and had a stroke two years ago, which he only partially recovered from (thus the wheelchair), and then in early January had pneumonia. After that it was just… downward — hospitalization, nursing home and then back to the hospital where just about everything basically shut down. But it was a good life, overall.
Here’s my favorite story that my dad told:
He was a young electronics tech during Korea, posted to Kagnew Radio Station in Eritrea. While he was there, (ahem) His Imperial Majesty the King of Kings of Ethiopia, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God, Haile Selassie, arrived to inspect the base (as he’d just been given rule over Eritrea — this must’ve been 1952). He was very short, apparently, and my dad’s CO was very concerned about how to make his unit of 12 sailors look impressive. The quote passed down to me was “Is it more impressive to have two rows of six, or three rows of four?” lol

Priscilla Presley’s larger breasted sister?
That does look like a photoshop of her. I mean, if not, point me in her direction, please.
Hell, if the face is still marginally like that, point me in her direction, please.
Only Q can help you now.
*get blank gift list out*
OK, Q–whaddya want?
Nice.

Lol. Fun starts at 3:00 roughly.

Hey there. How was the 2nd day?
Took to the how to do things quite well. Lots of memorizing and none of that stuff is allowed to leave the room. Private Stazi, libertopia FTW!
CPRM: Keeper of the Secret Knowledge. Great on business cards, too.
Also, I hope that multiple viewings of Casino are a part of the training. If not, just offer to do so, to show them your can-do attitude.
“Oh, yes, sir–I can swing a hammer like no one’s business. Circular saws? That’s my specialty!”
I was thinking I should rewatch this.
Would you believe I never bothered to watch that? ‘Cause, I didn’t watch it.
Kinda thinking I should.
It isn’t very good. And I don’t like Ben Affleck. But under the circumstances I think I might rewatch it.
I am….entertained by Affleck. Not sure that it rises to the level of “like”, but, I don’t typically shun seeing him.
I do think that Gone Baby, Gone is a fantastic film, and he did a good job directing li’l bro. Casey seems to get better roles, and work them better, I guess.
Batman (in the suit) and Boiler Room are the only times in an almost 30 year career he played a character and not Ben Affleck.
Hmmm….checks out. I’ll allow it.
Oh, and I do like me some Boiler Room. Great little film, der.
Just sent you some more off the glib record info via email.
Done and done.
And, I mean done!
Today’s 8hrs went faster than some of my 3hr shifts of of hurry up and wait at the radio station, So I guess it kept me interested. The people I was working were nice and we seemed to get along. I guess that’s good, since SOP is to not mingle with any of the other employees, lest they learn our secrets or what not.
Well, hopes and prayers that this bodes well for the future of the job. Also, that your creative side gets inspired by the people/types you’ll see.
NDA! Libertopia!
Ah! But, that’s why I said “inspired”. Ultimately it’s all fiction….or, real (I forget which).
You’re up late for a regular, working stiff.
Dude!!
Oh….oh, right. Gotcha.
/phrasing 🙂
2nd shift. Although, I do have a mandatory meeting mid-morning, but I’m good at not sleeping, as long as I can wake up.

The story that my link is cued to really hit me hard. I’m sure there are innumerable tales of similar war-time requirements, but, this one is just heart-breaking for me.
There is also a tale further back in the video about finding 6 leatherback turtles intentionally tied together and left to die. Makes me think I found another sea-nazi.
/seriously, turtle abuser: DIAF
I was worried that Obama’s supporters were going to clamor to remove the two term limit, because they were all but outright calling for it. To Trumps fan it is a joke when he talks about, to the left it is reality.
I like to look at that situation as, her class has a (collective) sense of humor.
I wonder how she feels about Presidential enrichment in office?
Bad if Orange Man do. That’s SOP these days.
I can see some truth in der guy.
That was rather enjoyable.
I took my original Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles Thermus lunch box today, only because I couldn’t find my Robo-Cop lunch box, that would have been much more fitting.
Be honest–you just bought a thermal lunch bag, and drew turtles on it, didn’t you?
Nope, same one I had in 1990.
Had to wash out some 30 year old crumbs that probably contained some old strain of some disease.
CPRM: Wuhan Edition
Gustave, I think we may be able to ease your mind a bit (as long as you aren’t WI-local)
No, I’m near the idiot from the Wuhesterdam who skipping town in Cambodia to make sure 280M of his closest friends could be further exposed.
Besides, I’d only worry if C’s lunch pail was Batman…
Heh…
On to disturbing things I shouldn’t admit. A few times the last few weeks I saw ads on Porn Hub for ‘Teen’ porn using a Greta look-a-like. What the fuck is wrong with these people?!
Rule 34 isn’t a nice rule.
But, it’s the rule we need.
Time to enforce it with an iron fist.
https://youtu.be/2m3s3ahr9NI
I guess there is a kink for everyone out there.
She wants to fuck the world, so, I suppose there are some out there determined to return the favor.
/I like that theory much better than the obvious choice
I was thinking that one until Rule 34 popped into my head. Scary.
I have to agree with CPRM. I cannot wrap my head around the idea of having sex with xer.
I can’t either, although, presuming she
grows upbecomes an adult, someone will.I mean, someone got Chelsea, and…well, damn.
I assume her husband got hazard pay.
I really, REALLY hesitated to link this, but (heh) it’s just got too many zingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mruWTxdhxlY
The novel goes way more into the sex addicts stories.
I would imagine so. Not the most uplifting of stories anyway. But, not exactly Chuck’s purview.
Otay. Got that mandatory mid-morning meeting before my shift, so I should try to pass out now. If I stay on this shift I’ll prolly be on a bit earlier If I don’t have shows to catch up on and be able to stay a bit later. Still working out this schedule. G’night late night glibs. Thank you one and all for your contributions to my life, you do all make it a rich experience.
PassPeace out!Make sure they pay you for the meeting time.
This is kind of funny.

Scarily funny. These people just suck.
Captain Four-eyes (I’m wearing glasses as I type this) sounds almost like the prison guard from Idiocracy.
I’m not really tired, so I can’t ask “why am I so tired” but that’s the mood I’m in. Maybe it’s more ‘unmotivated’ than ‘tired’. I just don’t want to be here.
It occurred to me that now we’re in that long stretch between Presidents Day and Memorial Day with no holiday. I have plenty of time off available, but I always have to consider who’s going to back up my gotta-do’s, so I feel kinda guilty taking the time without a good reason.
On one hand you can’t be completely callous about vanishing without a trace, on the other, you can’t completely avoid taking a vacation just because someone will have to cover for you.
If provided with ample warning, and it’s not plonked in the middle of the busy season, the office should be able to cope. Besides, whoever approves time off requests should be able to avoid those problems.
Lastly, you do not need a reason beyond “I want to” if you have the leave and it gets approved.
I’m certain you’ve provided coverage for other people while they were out. Unless your manager is incompetent or evil, it’s not going to break anyone.
Sorry, you probably know all of that. I’ve just been in the ‘prepping for supervisory responsibilities mode’. This includes refreshers on attendance and leave, etc.
In the UK we are told that Americans don’t ever dare take time off because if they do they will come back to find they are unemployed and have been replaced with another poor worker, more eager to be exploited by the ruthless capitalist oppressors.
You know how long it takes to train up an employee? It takes even longer if you do an abrevviated candidate search. most vacations are not long enough to justify the cost of replacing the current incumbant.
I realize it’s irrational. The other thing that sometimes holds me back from taking time off is the idea that I should hoard it in case I need it for an emergency (which Mr. GT has occasionally provided with some of his recent health “adventures” – nothing dire, but rather scary in the moment.) However, we “max out” on how much vacation we can accrue, and in a couple of weeks I’ll hit the 20 year mark and start accruing more vacation time per pay period.
You mean, be here on Glibs, or be here on the planet?
Here at work.
I just pulled out an old axe I bought with a lot of tools a couple of years ago, and noticed it was made in the GDR. It’s not superb quality but I figured someone on glibs might be interested that I own a commie axe, complete with TGL certification.
You monster! There are families who’ve been on forty-year waiting lists for their axes, and you’re not even East German!
