Tuesday night open post of debate

Uh, I’m not really sure what’s happening here…

 

Ice cold Heinekin after a day of yard work is delightful. Fight me.

 

Pineapple NEVER belongs on pizza, not even if it’s deep dish. Same goes with anchovies. Fight me.

 

Tiger Woods will eventually be hailed as the greatest golfer of all time. Fight me.

 

Toned, athletic women over the plus size millenials Q seems to favor. Fight me.

 

Powerstroke and Duramax over Cummins diesel. Fight me.

 

Throw in your own, have it out in the comments.

 

I had no idea Steve Cropper helped write this. This was the first album I ever bought. I was in second grade, it was an Elementary School fundraiser and I paid 25 cents for it. I liked the artwork on the album cover.

  1. Sean

    Meh. I don’t feel good.

    I may skip drinking tonight.

    • Tulip

      Coronavirus?

    • DOOMco

      Sean, my man, everyone’s drinking.

      Come on.

      • DOOMco

        Feel better. Ill drink yours.

  2. Sean

    In the movie Bound, Gina Gershon was hotter than Jennifer Tilley. Fight me.

    • Tres Cool

      Meg Tilly > Jennifer.

      Change my mind.

    • Donation Not Taxation

      How would that work? ‘Hotter’ is subjective.

      People who think that Tilly was hotter and those who think Gershon was hotter should peacefully co-exist. NAP.

      • Sean

        *Throws a shoe at DNT*

      • Jarflax

        Subjective within limits.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Correct answer is “threesome”

    • Gustave Lytton

      Tilly Masterson > Jill Masterson.

      • C. Anacreon

        Tilly Masterson > Jill Masterson>Bat Masterson

        Well, not when it comes to keepin’ law ‘n’ order in a cowtown!

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Gina Gershon was the only reason to watch Showgirls.

  3. DOOMco

    Gonna put extra pineapple on my pizza this week.

    Pineapple, bacon, jalapeno.

    • MikeS

      Obviously, your daughter heard that. Or she’s shitting. Or she’s shitting because she heard that.

      • DOOMco

        Ladydoom took a bunch of photos as she woke up from a nap. This one is my favorite.

        We’ll have to wait a bit to see how she likes the pineapple pizza. Is it genetic?

      • MikeS

        She’s a cutie.

      • Rhywun

        She’s got ‘tude.

      • DOOMco

        “ugh, you guys don’t have to watch me every second.”

      • Fourscore

        A girl needs some private time

    • straffinrun

      IOW, the perfect Za.

  4. Tres Cool

    Whomever posted Hillary/Bloomberg2020 in the last thread just fueled my nightmares.

    Fuck you.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      You’re welcome.

    Cool links!

    Fender Guitars, Fight me…

    • J. Frank Parnell

      I kind of want one of these, mainly because I have an original one from 89-ish that could be in better shape.

  7. Ted S.

    Vanishing Point is overrated. Discuss.

    Pressure Point, on the other hand, is really interesting.

    • Donation Not Taxation

      You misspelled Grosse Pointe Blank (1997).

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Vanishing Point is overrated. Discuss.

  8. Fourscore

    Checking in with Mike S., he’s younger than me (by a lot), he can handle any beefs I have.

    Lighten up, TC. Trump would be happy to take on Hill and Bloomie, he’s the Tyson Fury of presidential candidates.

    • MikeS

      Whoa, whoa…let’s not do anything rash, now.

  9. Scruffy Nerfherder

    Since the last thread is dead….

    I just gave the new Toto washlet its trial run.

    It’s magical.

    My life has changed.

    • Tres Cool

      Are your pipes clean ?

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        They glisten.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Yep, 30 here and Frozen Chicken Fried Steak! gravy1!!

    • Ted S.

      Does it hold the line?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        is it always on Time?

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        All I wanna do is hold it tight…

      • Tres Cool

        He better name it Roseanna.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Yes it is. Wife said it was the best birthday present ever. Either that’s high praise or I really suck at gift giving.

  10. MikeS

    I’m only the second one to notice Spud had a link failure of epic proportions? Sad!

    • MikeS

      It’s clown karma.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Make Way…

    • Fourscore

      Everyone noticed Spud’s faux pas but out of kindness just ignored it. Its just Spud being Spud. He was testing us.

    • Spudalicious

      No links goes together with “open post”.

      There will be more clowns.

      • MikeS

        Oh…I get it now.

        *Hangs head in shame. Waits for impending clown-pocalypse*

      • Fourscore

        How ya feelin’? Gettin’ over the cold?

      • MikeS

        Getting better. Good enough to go to work tomorrow. Going to call it a night pretty quick and get a good night’s sleep.

  11. Scruffy Nerfherder

    I’ve got one Cummins diesel engine. The thing has zero oil leaks after 200k miles.

    The transmission, on the other hand, is a total POS.

    • Plinker762

      ’06 Duramax, 275k miles. No leaks. Repairs: thermostat gasket, (2x) glow plugs, and replaced leaky transmission cooler hoses.

    • Tres Cool

      Mine eats water pumps ever 30K
      They’re $28 at NAPA, and 15 minutes to change. I dont mind.

      • Tundra

        My Tahoe had that same affliction. 5.3L

        Cheap and easy, though.

      • DrOtto

        Check the grounds, sounds like you may have stray voltage eating water pumps up.

      • Tres Cool

        Mechanical failure. I dont know why- the belt is tensioned.
        She also (used to) eat fuel pumps. High sulfur heating oil every other tank fixed that

      • DrOtto

        Stray voltage in the cooling system eats bearings. Could still be a ground issue.

    • DOOMco

      Part of me wants to spend my tax refund on a Toyota diesel for the fj.

      Part of me wants more ammo.

      The 6bt “fits”, but shouldn’t. And a 4bt is way too pricey.

      • Florida Man

        I’m very intrigued by this diesel project. Post pics of you do it.

      • DOOMco

        Oh absolutely. The best part is other than the mounts, putting a 2h or 3b into it is really straight forward since they came with those engines in a bunch of places.

        This summer will see some changes no matter what, pictures will be included.

    • Florida Man

      The 1GR-FE is one of the best V6’s ever made. Fight me.

      • DOOMco

        Yes.

      • Tres Cool

        Nope. Garbage with poor electronics.

  12. Q Continuum

    “Toned, athletic women over the plus size millenials Q seems to favor. Fight me.”

    I’ll let my ladies do the talking.

    • Chipping Pioneer

      I think I speak for the majority of us when I say that I’d prefer that these particular ladies not talk.

    • Chafed

      I thought that was off the mark. If Spud called out Tres Cool it would be different.

      • Lord Digby's Shameless Self-Promotion

        Off the mark, and trying to rub it in our faces!!

        /this is about tig ol’ bitties, right?

  13. Scruffy Nerfherder

    I like women that have achieved something. It’s incredibly hot. Ballerinas, swimmers, dancers, musicians, etc…

      • MikeS

        Yes. Her “achievements” make her hot.

      • Q Continuum

        Imagine the possibilities…

      • MikeS

        Way ahead of ya…

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        See what I’m talking about?

      • C. Anacreon

        You could use her to measure how level you’ve set your 4x4s.

    Pineapple NEVER belongs on pizza…

    My daughter would kick the shit out of you for this. Lucky for you I didn’t show her the post.

    • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

      I’m gonna go on the record for not hating pineapple pizza or deep dish. Maybe that’s why I live in a trash can.

      • LJW

        I don’t hate deep dish, it can be good if done right. But it isn’t pizza.

      • C. Anacreon

        One thing we did learn today is that the fresh cut pineapple cubes sold at Trader Joe’s are much worse than those at Safeway. Really bitter by comparison.

        It may be that Joe’s come from Ecuador, while Safeway’s come from the Philippines, I dunno.

      • Fourscore

        Mrs F cuts her own, she like Guadamala or Hawaii. I just eat what she prepares.

    • Tres Cool

      es tu hija dieciocho ?

      • Tundra

        Easy there, big fella.

      • Tres Cool

        having lived in Tejas, I picked up a couple of handy phrases. That one, and “mas cerveza, amigo!”

  15. Tundra

    I had no idea Steve Cropper helped write this.

    You’re welcome.

    And it’s a song that doesn’t make me want to fight anyone.

  16. The Hyperbole

    I for one am glad to see you doing what you do best (Posting the most obvious tripe from whichever artist you choose to highlight) It gives us all an opportunity to shine. Better Otis.

    • Spudalicious

      Thanks for shitting all over my childhood memories.

      • The Hyperbole

        No Problem, It’s the least that I could do.

  17. Vacuous

    Well, my university cancelled in-person instruction for at least the rest of the month. We will be moving to a “virtual instruction environment” until further notice. At least I save gas money. I was traveling 100 miles per day to commute.

    • Florida Man

      Public transport is the best. All roads should be destroyed.

      :sorry, your civilization has been destroyed by plague. Better luck next time.

      • LJW

        But at least we dropped the global temperature increase by .002 degrees! We managed to delay global warming by 15 seconds!

        This. I’m liking all the extra space everywhere. Silver linings.

  18. DOOMco

    Today I had a meeting discussing the plan to lock sick kids in the first floor of a dorm. So that’s cool.

    Next week is spring break, and I have to reset 250 doors because I finally convinced this place a 50 year old master system with no records is “not good”

    • Crusty Juggler

      That’s the worst thing you can do! Set those little mugs free!

    • straffinrun

      What kind of “meeting”?

      • DOOMco

        One where risk management made assumptions that defy some laws of physics.

      • Tres Cool

        Was the solution you came up with final ?

      • MikeS

        I did nazi that one coming.

  19. Crusty Juggler

    Ice cold Heinekin after a day of yard work is delightful. Fight me.

    Agreed – it is especially delightful from a can.

    Toned, athletic women over the plus size millenials Q seems to favor. Fight me.
    Agreed. Q is a chubby chasing creep. A no butt/tiny butt > bottom heavy, which as those of us who know quickly becomes applesauce come to life.

    Powerstroke and Duramax over Cummins diesel. Fight me.
    By a large margin. I have an F350 6.7 dually in my fleet and it is the tits of tits.

    No, no I will not fight you. I will hug you.

    Let’s hug, brother!

    • Tundra

      ^gay^

      • Tres Cool

        Dmax is an Isuzu product that , while its not bad, it took them a decade to sort out. ( I tested the DMAX plant in Moraine, OH)
        PowerSmoke is an IH collaboration. It sucks.

        Cummins and Detroit are the only 2 names you need for diesel.

      • Gustave Lytton

        As long it’s not in a Ram badged product.

      • Tres Cool

        My truck is before that Fiat-Chrysler abomination.

      • Gustave Lytton

      *consults Pornhub

      straffinrun story is confirmed.

    • MikeS

      I laughed a bunch at that. I blame Fourscore’s honey in Florida Man’s hooch.

      • Florida Man

        Mission accomplished!

  21. Crusty Juggler

    Powerstroke or Godzilla – who you gots?

    • Stillhunter

      As someone who doesn’t really NEED my 6.7, the new Godzilla is intriguing…but never buy the first two model years.

    Bernie is not looking great at the moment. Too early, though.

    • The Last American Hero

      He will probably lose Washington but more importantly is getting his ass handed to him in Michigan – with all those black and union votes.

    Joyce DeWitt > Suzanne Somers

    • Crusty Juggler

      Mr Roper > Mr Furley

      • Tres Cool

        I concur. Norman Fell was the better straight man to those jokes.

    • MikeS

      Akshully, that’s true.

    • The Hyperbole

      Edna Babish > Marion Cunningham

      • Tres Cool

        Lacey > Pinkey

        Fight me.

    • Tres Cool

      Agree. Also

      Mary Ann > Ginger

  25. straffinrun

    True story. I’m waiting for a phone call from a blind coworker. Every time she calls me she uses FaceTime. I’d ask her why, but no idea how.

    • Florida Man

      She is faking hopeful you’ll answer nude.

  26. Mojeaux

    After everybody sends their employees and students home, a whole lot of people are going to like the arrangement and decide that’s how business should be conducted and will make it so.

    • straffinrun

      That is exactly why the schools won’t stay closed. They don’t want people figuring out that the indoctrination centers aren’t necessary.

      • Crusty Juggler

        I thought it was because it would cripple the health care industry.

      • straffinrun

        There are multiple benefits.

      • Florida Man

        Where are you going to get your penis pills if healthcare collapses, smart guy.

      • Rhywun

        Well, that and the fact that parents like “free” child-care.

      • Mojeaux

        *raises hand*

        I’m not even ashamed.

      • Rhywun

        No need to be – you’re paying for it.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Posted in the morning thread

        https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/hillsboro-middle-school-student-among-new-coronavirus-cases-but-oregon-health-officials-warn-against-closing-schools.html

        “After two weeks away from school, kids in the United States would be considerably behind schedule in their learning curricula—and many parents in the U.S. would be acutely inconvenienced without the daily meal service and child care that school inherently provides.”

        Officials said administrators can preach to students the necessary safety precautions to reduce the risk of the virus and “protect students from lost instructional time”, noting that “schools provide many students their only ready access to health care and food.”

      • straffinrun

        I went to an ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) elementary school. Every kid works at his own pace using textbooks and asks questions when needed. It was much better than the public junior high I went to. It shouldnt be so hard to do this style online, but as Rhywun points out, it’s the babysitting angle that’s the bigger problem.

    The Horrifying Reason Women Are Searching for Their Own Cities on Pornhub

    Some quick takes:
    -porn is bad
    -revenge porn should be illegal
    -people search PornHub for their missing children, which is…well…you know…

    And finally:

    It is true that in 2010 Pornhub was acquired by MindGeek, a privately held Canadian company that owns about 80 percent of the porn industry, Isaacs estimates (from RedTube and YouPorn, to a number of adult production companies). Obviously, such a monopoly over the entire porn industry only makes matters worse, since, essentially, MindGeek is policing itself.

    Canadians are behind Big Porn.

    Life in Trump’s America.

      HORRIFYING! No wait, no it isnt. Unless they’re evil clowns.

  28. robc

    Get back to me when Tiger wins the US Open, British Open, Us Am, and British Am in the same calendar year.

    Until then, no need to fight you.

  29. Mojeaux

    @Hyperbole: MikeS would agree with your assessment of my musical taste.

    So I refuse to see ZZ Top and Willie Nelson. Mr. Mojeaux refuses to see The Nutcracker with me. I have to go by myself because I don’t have a chicksispal.

    • robc

      My wife wants to go to it this year. You want to take her?

      • Crusty Juggler

        Yes.

      • straffinrun

        My wife is the Nutcracker.

      • Chafed

        Hi-yo!

    • MikeS

      Hey, who gives a damn what two snarky, anonymous assholes say. As long as you don’t like pineapple on pizza, we’re cool.

    • Tulip

      Aww, come here and we’ll go see the the Washington Ballet’s Nutcracker – it’s set in Revolutionary era DC.

      • Tulip

        In a truly jewel box theater no less

    • The Hyperbole

      I was not condemning your musical taste (except for the The Kinks thing (good god who doesn’t like The Kinks, (How ’bout the tunes? I want you to want me, The dream police Da-na-na-na-na-na , Your mama’s all right Your daddy’s all right….))) my point was that I believe you are making a mistake by not seeing one of the great entertainers of our time because you don’t like his/her style of music. Even if hearing ‘On the road again’ cause you much cringe (and it does me as well) Willie is much more than that, he is an exceptional guitarist and showman. as I said I’m not a big (or even little) pop music fan but if the chance came up to see Diana Ross or even that idiot Barbara Streisand I’d go.

      • RAHeinlein

        I have a serious confused.

      • Mojeaux

        Husband going to see ZZ Top and Willie Nelson. Hyp thinks I should go because Willie is a Great One, even if I don’t like the music. And I do not. Therefore, I see no reason to go. With which he disagrees.

      • RAHeinlein

        My confusion was around the Cheap Trick lyrics. I despise Willie b/c I can’t get past his politics and tax hypocrisy, but I’m OK listening to him with Waylon (spouse loves him).

      • Mojeaux

        My confusion was around the Cheap Trick lyrics

        Yes, I’m right there with you. I love that song, and I was pretty sure it’s not a cover.

      • Rhywun

      You are correct. Nice to see Ireland Baldwin with a tattoo to pu ish Daddy.

      Is it just me or does the one with the tats have extra-long arms?

        Yeah, he’s okay looking when he’s just standing there, but his smile is … off. Like they’re dentures?

  31. Aloysious

    What, exactly, are ‘ Titty pockets’?

    • Gender Traitor

      Pockets on the front of your (ideally woven) shirt (ideally with a busy print) that hide your nips and thus help disguise the fact that you left the house without a bra on.

      Duluth Trading Free Swingin’ (in more ways than one) Flannel FTW!!!

      • Aloysious

        Thank you. That caused some minor confoozelment on my part. In my own defense, I am at work, with no wimminz anywhere around to explain these mysteries.

  32. hayeksplosives

    50 years ago, Clarence Henderson sat at a lunch counter at Woolworth, starting a nationwide protest against segregation.

    Now he his a Trump supporter and gets no end of “Uncle Tom” and “racist” from clueless African Americans.

    The state of history teaching in this country is pathetic.

    • hayeksplosives

      That should read “60” not “50”

    • The Hyperbole

      People change, your actions in the past don’t make you impervious to criticism for your current actions.

      • hayeksplosives

        Not sure I follow you there.

      • The Hyperbole

        Maybe I’m wrong but you seem to be saying that because this guy fought for civil rights 60 some years ago he can’t (or shouldn’t) be criticized for his actions (i.e. supporting Trump) today. Just because you weren’t a racist yesterday doesn’t mean you can’t be a racist today, and vice versa. If we can accept that a one time bigot can change his ways it seem fair to say that a one time non-bigot might ‘backslide’ so to speak.

      • straffinrun

        Or they are screaming racist! at him today because they don’t like his politics. It’s a head scratcher.

      • The Hyperbole

        In that case it wouldn’t matter what he did in the past. Hayek, by bringing up his past, seemed to be implying that once a non-racist always a non-racist, that’s illogical on it’s face. Prove that his current positions aren’t racist, not that at some point way back when he was a civil rights activist, that’s immaterial to the present accusation of Uncle Tom-ing.

      • straffinrun

        She can speak for herself. Biden and others use their past civil rights work as a shield so it is a bit rich not to allow others to do the same. Most of this stuff was a lifetime ago, so may as well forget it.

      • The Hyperbole

        The ‘libs’ use bullshit reasoning so I (not a Lib who uses that bullshit reasoning) shouldn’t call out similar bullshit reasoning from anyone else? I agree with the lifetime ago bit, in fact that was the gist of my original point.

      • Lord Digby's Shameless Self-Promotion

        Prove that his current positions aren’t racist

        What the quoted fellow was saying is that he is frustrated that people assume he’ll vote Democrat because he’s black. He says they want to tell you what to think, not how to think.

    The (D) govenor of Colorado declared a state of emergency. Colorado currently has 15 cases of the virus, and a population of almost 7 million people. So… math is hard. Call it 6 million population and its… takes a drink, then a toke… lessee… 3 million would make it .5, add some zeroes… makes it .0005, divide by 2 and we get. 00025% of the state of Colorado has the virus and so declare an emergency.
    Is my math wrong?

    • Gustave Lytton

      Usually the declaration of emergency is pro forma to unlock funding or powers by the governor.

    • The Hyperbole

      When dealing with a highly contagious virus what is the proper % before taking action*?

      *SLD the state has no right to ever take action and so on and so forth,but assuming they did that is.

    • DenverJ

      Wait, isn’t my math wrong because % is .00? So, 1% is .01, therefore the fact that one in .00025 Coloradans is infected is actually .025%?

        Damnit that’s backassward. It’s .00025 in one Coloradan are infected.

        The “th” orthographically represents the “eth” letter that was in its Old English form, which is a voiceless dental fricative. So you’re kinda right, but only if you also commit to a Viking beard and pillaging.
