The Night Shift for April 4, 2020

by | Apr 4, 2020 | Daily Links, Fun, Night Shift | 108 comments

Alright—last week was light on written comments, and heavy on chat.  I am already looking forward to doing that again, and eve bought a new outfit headset.  Anyway, COVID shit had got us all down, and our collective dander up (eww).  I don’t have any real answers to the questions that have been asked as of late, so, I’ll try to keep posting some silly shit, even if it is Moo Goo Gai Pandemic-related.  For example:

 

Florida Woman:  Government Edition.  Never stop being stupid, and, never stop wearing that hat, cowgirl.

Paging Crusty Juggler—did you already cover this HARD-hitting EXPOSE’?  I can’t even, with all this crap.

A Tale of Two Syndromes.  A search for one cure still leaves people with terminal stupidity.

I can see where Bernie gets it.  Not that, ya perv.  Still, getting bent over is getting bent over.  Tautology 101.

Dude, that is NOT how you play “Blame it on the dog”.  If you’re going to be a traffic asshole, leave your pets out of it, please.

When you absolutely, positively have to be a shit-heel.  I guess she figured her self-righteousness made her immune to the Wuhan Wheeze.

Hold on—isn’t ‘knife range’ pretty much ‘infection range’?  What’s the over/under on this getting lots of airtime?  Racially-motivated attack vs. minority perp…

Submitted without further comment.

 

Naw; no music links tonight—too busy trying to learn the Kid ‘n’ Play Wuhan kick-step.  Please, supply your own four our amusement and edification.   Mix, mingle, and avoid contracting the digital clap, you crazy kids

    “In so many ways, the #COVID19 pandemic is a gendered crisis. We’re disproportionately on the frontlines as healthcare workers, food service workers, grocery.” Wilson tweeted.

    But… but… unemployed men are losing $1 per every $0.79 unemployed women are losing!

      Heh!

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      LOL

    • Chafed

      Her argument doesn’t even make sense. At least half her examples show men in the majority and the majority of deaths are men.

  2. Tulip

    We are in the chat

  3. Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

    If anyone happens to stumble in relatively early for the post, ‘we’ are having another Zoom chat (link in previous post).

    • Trigger Hippie

      Oh, well then. Guess this Night Shift is DOA.

      See ya!

    • straffinrun

      Sorry, Digs. You outdid yourself this week. I’ll be here anyways.

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Be sure to check out that vid–a link with a portion of it is down below.

        Oh, yeah–stop by the chat if you can. In fact–all of you stop by, dammit.

        /thanks, straff. ?

      • Mojeaux

        Cannot, sorry. Just spent all damned day staring at my computer screen and getting nowhere. Time to chill in my recliner.

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        What happened? (I missed if you talked about it)

  4. Trigger Hippie

    Self righteous person video has been removed by the owner.

    Guess it was so bad they actually felt shame.

    • LemonGrenade

      Yeah, I actually clicked through to that one and was disappointed that video was removed.

  5. LemonGrenade

    The irony of listening to Rage Against the Machine do “Killing in the Name Of” and singing along with “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me”, whilst I continue to comply with the cower in place orders. March 36th already sucks.

    • Rhywun

      I can’t stand them.

      • LemonGrenade

        Me neither, in general, but the chorus fits right now.

      • Chafed

        Any thoughts on Audioslave?

      • Chafed

        I’m so torn. It’s great music with commie lyrics and some of those commie lyrics have a great chorus.

      • LemonGrenade

        I finally broke down and joined the zoom chat.

      • MikeS

        ^ she knows where it’s at ^

  6. Cacciatore

    à votre santé

    • grrizzly

      Je suis désolé.

    I’ve adopted a kitten- named her Brindle for the eponymous paint job

    • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

      Brindle!!

    • Mojeaux

      KITTY!!!!!!11!!1!1!1!!one

    • straffinrun

      Funky looking cat. Name?

      • straffinrun

        My reading ain’t gud.

      • Chafed

        It’s grate.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      ooh, Pretty!

      • Cacciatore

        I think she’s a beauty!

      • Chafed

        She is. Enjoy her.

    • Mad Scientist

      Cute kitty. Just look at her, laying there, dreaming of murdering something.

  8. Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

    OK–for the video that’s no longer available, here’s the majority of that video: https://youtu.be/iuIQrRNGLNA?t=89

    I don’t doubt she took it down–her YT ratio was rather poor (or, fantastic, if you think she was asshole).

    • Cacciatore

      Christ, what an asshole.

    • straffinrun

      She loves her some Authoritay!

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Does she evar! While I didn’t read the comments on HER video (the one she posted), the thumbs down side was overwhelming.

      • Chafed

        The moment I heard, “as a Christian…” I knew it was going downhill. I have known many upright, observant Christians. Not one of them ever used that phrase.

      • Cacciatore

        I’m a deacon and chorister and say she is full of shit.

      • Chafed

        Deacon Blues?

      • Cacciatore

        They call Alabama the Crimson Tide…

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Not one of them ever used that phrase.

        This. If it was in response to someone bringing it up, I could see making the claim. Otherwise, you tend to get…well, her.

    • Cacciatore

      Medium Sized Government Approved Cans (TM) !

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Took a second, LOL and well done!

    • Cacciatore

      Handsome pair!

      A life in the trades will kill yer body. I’m 25 and feel many years older than I should. Glad I’ve got meself into school now.

  9. Yusef drives a Kia

    Umm, Digby? Do I have to take over? are you drunk like me?

    • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

      I’m in the video chat, Yo!

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I’ll pass, Bye!

    • straffinrun

      I’m fully in charge here. Carry on.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        YAY! I hate being in charge…

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Are you the person I complain to? ‘Cause, this post is utter shit!

      • straffinrun

        I’ll pass your complaint on to corporate.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Al Haig confirmed.

    • Chafed

      Save it for Mojeaux.

      • Cacciatore

        Is she a Dan Fan unbeknownst to me?

      • MikeS

        She’s our #1 metal dildo fan

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Yeowch!!

      • Cacciatore

        +1 Dan lore

      • Chafed

        I’m not sure if we’re doing euphemisms but we are definitely doing double entendres.

      • MikeS

        No, that was a straight-up reference.

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Up, indeed.

      • Cacciatore

        Yep.

    • Cacciatore

      OP has super crazy-eyes

    • Chafed

      That had to sting.

  10. Chafed

    “Paging Crusty Juggler—did you already cover this HARD-hitting EXPOSE’? I can’t even, with all this crap.” Jesus Digby. I think discussing Cuomo’s nipples spreads the virus.

    • Cacciatore

      Those things are pierced. Bar(bell) none.

    • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

      Well, now YOU’RE down with the sickness.

    • Chafed

      Put a NAMBLA shirt on it. Then it’s as creepy as possible.

  11. dbleagle

    Just got in from a long day sail. We social distanced like crazy off shore and had many G&T (outboard) and Cuba Libre’s (return). It was a nice day with a couple of friends.

    • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

      If you’re keen, still got about 10 or so of us in the Zoom chat.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      That sounds fun… I miss Sailing…

  12. straffinrun

    Anybody got a link to the zoom if it’s still going on?

    • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

      Gimme a sec

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        Thanks.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      I’m pissed about it, why Did I get stuck with all this?

    • Toxteth O’Grady

      Hugs, masked man.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        You know me,,,

      • Toxteth O’Grady

        I do now…

        Doesn’t anyone use Skype? I already have that (though am falling asleep anyway).

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        If the Trump Bucks Come , We re going to Slab City, and we will get Hayek to come,

  13. UnCivilServant

    People who’ve heard my annoying voice –

    I keep toying with the idea of narrating an audiobook, but I need to know if listening to me for twelve hours would be tolerable.

    • straffinrun

      You’ll find a tone that’s tolerable. I’ve narrated about a dozen of them and my normal voice is not suitable. You just have to toy around for a while and see what you can come up with.

      • Festus

        One thing that I’ve learned from Glib-chat is that Straff looks like Bill Gates and I resemble the Devil incarnate. It’s a poison pill.

    • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

      I vote yes, UCS. For what tharmt’s worth.

      • Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

        “tharmt’s”??? I must be on my freakin’ phone.

      • Festus

        I read that in the hat’s voice.

  14. Lord Digby's Golden Age of Ballooning 2--Balloon Harder

    Just an fyi to late/early glibs–we’ve finished the vid chat. So, carry on with your “typing”.

    • Festus

      Back to two hands then?

  15. l0b0t

    This Amazon extended delivery times shit needs to stop. Items that were same-day are now shipping in 5 days.

      • JD is Unemployed

        Uh oh – I may have squirreled myself. It always takes such a long time to post/refresh on glibs that I moved on to clicking the next thing before the page had refreshed, having forgotten it hadn’t posted my link yet, which seems to have redirected it as a reply to your link.

        Well since I was going to reply anyway, and here I am, yes. I have too many other regular subscriptions on the youtubes to really get into this guy’s output but he’s worth a watch every so often?

      • commodious spittoon

        I do it all the bleeping time.

    • The Hyperbole

      HA, just in the last week a must have watched a dozen of his videos.
