A Florida man has been charged with manslaughter after he pointed a rifle at his friend and pulled the trigger, thinking the weapon was unloaded, authorities said.
Way to break every single rule.
Starting with “Don’t Date Florida Man” rule.
Oh, you mean he broke the rules.
*sigh*
Yep.
The idea of pointing a rifle at one of my friends as a joke, is just incomprehensible to me.
Same here. I did have a moron draw a bow and point it at me once. I nearly shit my pants. NOT FUNNY asshole. That was when I realized A) not many people have proper weapons handling training and B) Average person has no idea how truly dangerous an arrow is even at low speeds.
We fell out after that.
There were these two assholes as a gun shop, trying out pistols. Big guys in suits. They looked like feds. I turn around and one of them was pointing a gun right at me.
This is something that used to bug the hell out of me back in the day (1970’s) when it was commonplace and the current (enlightened) knowledge of the four rules was not yet a glimmer in people’s minds. I had felt I must be the one who was taking it to extremes, thinking that merely pointing an unloaded firearm at somebody was a grave mistake.
I am really glad that the gun community has, for the most part, cleaned up its act WRT gun safety.
Yup. That trigger guard though.

The House voted 152-3 to allow voters to decide to eliminate their county police departments, moving authority to county sheriff’s offices.
Eliminate the Hazzard County PD. They are inept and corrupt as hell.
So same cops, different uniforms.
Sheriff departments were the ones declining to enforce gun restrictions, so some are still worth having around.
They usually tend do be a little better because Sheriff’s are elected and are therefore accountable. Staties are worst.
I don’t really have an issue with this.

BIG COURT WIN against Bolton. Obviously, with the book already given out and leaked to many people and the media, nothing the highly respected Judge could have done about stopping it…BUT, strong & powerful statements & rulings on MONEY & on BREAKING CLASSIFICATION were made….
Donald J. Trump✔
@realDonaldTrump
….Bolton broke the law and has been called out and rebuked for so doing, with a really big price to pay. He likes dropping bombs on people, and killing them. Now he will have bombs dropped on him!
PWNED.
Color me very skeptical that the classified material, including after the fact (or most especially that), are anything more than ass-covering attempts by the administration.
Does that make a difference?
Do we want other actors than the president deciding what is or isn’t classified…say the 9th Circuit court?
Warning: outdated attitudes, languages and cultural depictions which may cause offence today.
Viewers of the films on Sky Cinema — a pay-per-view film service — were greeted with a message that informed them that the films may contain “outdated attitudes, languages and cultural depictions which may cause offence today.”
The sixteen films that received the treatment, according to The Sun, are Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Goonies, Aladdin, Dumbo, Gone With The Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, Tropic Thunder, The Jazz Singer, The Littlest Rebel, The Lone Ranger, Balls of Fury, The Jungle Book, Flash Gordon, and The Last Samurai.
And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
She said I think I remember the film
And as I recall I think,
we both kind of liked itit is super racist.And I said well that’s,

I saw Breakfast at Tiffany’s on a compilation of very bad songs. I think it was between Party All the Time and We Built This City on Rock and Roll.
My 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse bad songs:
Don’t Stop Believin’, Free Bird, Hotel California, More Than a Feelin’
Pfft. That song isn’t so bad. It doesn’t deserve to be sandwiched between that crap.
Throw in the 2 Eddie Murphy hits- “Party all the Time” and “Boogie in your Butt”
Will Smith is a guilty pleasure of mine.
“The Republicans, meanwhile, had pushed for what they deemed to be more “common-sense” reforms, including a ban on chokeholds and requiring colleagues to intervene in cases of unreasonable force.”

on statue removal
The Russians defend their WW2 statues a lot more tenaciously than the Sons of the Confederacy. You yank down a Red Army statue in Estonia and you’ll probably get Polonium-210 in your coffee the next day.
I’m not sure what’s more childish – kicking over a sandcastle or killing someone for it.
Statue pullers in the US aren’t being brave and defiant. They know they’re safe.
It’s like anonymous online trolling or being a big man while the windows are rolled up.
Put these chuckleheads in Hong Kong or Saudi Arabia to protest the government overreach.
You yank down a Red Army statue in Estonia and you’ll probably get Polonium-210 in your coffee the next day.

“Great” leaders have the highest body counts
In 1987 some friends sneaked into the thicker parts of Golden Gate Park with machetes to fetch some branches and foliage for what became an epic jungle party in their huge flat. We recently had a Zoom reunion of that group and they were a little embarrassed by their actions in retrospect. Now that the mob has destroyed the statues in that park, I’m guessing they can finally be at peace, feeling they were pretty innocuous by comparison.

GI Joe – a real American hero
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Medicine_Crow
***
Joseph Medicine Crow (October 27, 1913 – April 3, 2016) was a war chief, author, and historian of the Crow Nation of Native Americans. His writings on Native American history and reservation culture are considered seminal works, but he is best known for his writings and lectures concerning the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. He received the Bronze Star Medal and the Légion d’honneur for service during World War II, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.
…
After spending the latter half of 1942 working in the naval ship yards in Bremerton, Washington, Medicine Crow joined the U.S. Army in 1943.[5] He became a scout in the 103rd Infantry Division, and fought in World War II. Whenever he went into battle, he wore his war paint (two red stripes on his arms) beneath his uniform and a sacred yellow painted eagle feather, provided by a “sundance” medicine man, beneath his helmet.[3]
Medicine Crow completed all four tasks required to become a war chief: touching an enemy without killing him (counting coup), taking an enemy’s weapon, leading a successful war party, and stealing an enemy’s horse.[6] He touched a living enemy soldier and disarmed him after turning a corner and finding himself face to face with a young German soldier:
The collision knocked the German’s weapon to the ground. Mr. Crow lowered his own weapon and the two fought hand-to-hand. In the end Mr. Crow got the best of the German, grabbing him by the neck and choking him. He was going to kill the German soldier on the spot when the man screamed out ‘mama.’ Mr. Crow then let him go.[3]
He also led a successful war party and stole fifty horses owned by the Nazi SS from a German camp, singing a traditional Crow honor song as he rode off.[7][8]

Sweet. More research needed…
What is the plural of cactus?
Cactuses. Cactii. Cactusies. Cactastrophies.
Side note: I’m really, really tired of hearing Peter Cetera songs at work. Really tired.
Cocks.
Well, I did mention Peter Cetera.
Cetera kept the band moving in the same direction Rob Lamm had in mind for it until the 80s struck, and everyone had to do ‘Power Ballads’ to stay on the charts and get paid. I’m not going to fault him for that. But I suspect he is douche-ier than a Summer’s Eve factory.
Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Er Cetera!

Clowder?
I’m not telling.
I was trying to come up with a “too many pricks there” joke for the photo.
I…I got nuthin’.
It comes from the Greek word for artichoke thistle, kaktos.
In Greek, words ending in -os become oi in the plural. For example, in ancient Sparta, there were the full citizen homoioi (the ones who are the same) and the perioikoi (the ones who live nearby).
So the plural of cactus should be cactoi.
There you go, learning me stuff and things.
Ancient Chinese Proverb:
When Arthur eat thistle too fast,
Artie choke.
Just goes to prove what one bad woman can do.
That. Right there. I think I’ve heard that song at least three times tonight.

Hiring of Jones-Kelley to lead agency continues to stir debate
While Im being pissy, nowhere in her background is any training on drug, alcohol, or mental health- she’s a POS POC, woman, lawyer, that likely blew her way to the top like Kamala. She just has the ‘right friends’.
HELEN JONES-KELLEY serves as the executive director of the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services Board. Before moving to that position, she was Special Assistant to the President of Central State University where she was responsible for External Relations and assisted as interim General Counsel and University Secretary to the of Trustees.

Jones-Kelley is currently on the Governing Board of the Dayton Foundation where she chairs the Marketing Committee, co-chairs the Parity, Inc. Steering Committee, Chairs the Education Linkages Committee for the Central Area Links, Inc., serves on the Special Wish Foundation Advisory Board, the Miami Valley Catholic Education Council, Montgomery County’s Family and Children First Council and the University of Dayton Law School Advisory Board. She is also a member of the Dayton Chapter of the Links, Inc. and of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. In 2003, Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Moyer, appointed her to co-chair the Advisory Council on Children, Youth and Families where she completed a six-year term.
Jones-Kelley is a licensed attorney. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Dayton School of Law, her Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary English Education from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and received graduate training there in the fields of Sociology and Gerontology.
Jones-Kelley has received several honors over the course of her career, including selection as one of the “Ten Top Women” in Dayton in 1996 and one of the Ten Top African American Women in 2002. She was featured in Essence Magazine in June, 1997. In 1999, she was honored by the YWCA of Dayton as a “Woman of Influence” and received their Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
I do like that they scrubbed out Department of Jobs and Family Services off her resume.

If you’re single and get fired, does that mean you have to get married and adopt a child so you can spend more time with your family.
No – you can just move back in with your parents.
No single folks resign “to pursue other opportunities.”
Berman was given the option to step down and save face. He said fuck that. So he was fired instead.

Joe Biden✔
@JoeBiden
Climate change is linked to increased pregnancy risks — and heartbreakingly, Black mothers are being hit the hardest. As President, I’ll work every day to tackle the climate crisis head-on and root out injustice. Because they are intertwined.
Do you know what else hurt unborn babies, particularly black ones?
I think I’ve sneezed out more brain cells than Biden has used into his entire life. If politicians were late night infomercials, he would be the part in black and white with a big red x on top of it.
I’m pretty sure that’s the pregnancy “risk” he’s talking about. Fewer babies born, fewer birth “risks”.
Wait, what?
Take fake problem, insert race, gin up “crisis”. Profit!

The spousal unit thought that the Fuji apples on our tree were ready (though I told him not to harvest until late July), so I have a bunch of not-quite-ready Fuji apples.
I put 2.5 cups of chopped apples with sugar and cinnamon, then baked it into an easy from-scratch cake in my instant pot.
A little ice cream on the side, and YUM. Underripe apple problem solved!
Hey HE, speaking parenthetically of apples: I’m glad someone mentioned Julian to you, as I was going to suggest it myself. Cute 19C mining town, kind of a mini-Flagstaff. Besides apples and pie you can ride horses or tour old gold mines (bring Certs mints for oral sparks).

Marijuana taxes.
I’ve seen several articles talking about how the current [government caused] economic crisis will lead to marijuana legalization and taxation, same as the Great Depression lead to the repeal of Prohibition.
I make that argument for the state level- I think Ohio pulls in about $2 BN annually from ‘sin tax’- revenue from alcohol and tobacco sales.
If I went to the legislature in Columbus and told them I invented a pill that will make people use neither, Id be lucky to leave the city alive. They need that free money.
Same with lottery- they love the stupid tax.

Hell, during the lockdown. Lottery sales were essential services, as were the lottery vending machines. But other vending machines, games, and the like had to be shut down.

“So you’re saying it is okay to exploit two toddlers hugging one another on a sidewalk to make some sort of political point,” Acosta continued. “As you know, the president has described members of the press as fake news during the course of this administration, when you share fake videos like that, doesn’t that make you fake news?”
“I think the president was making satirical point that was quite funny if you go and actually watch the video,” McEnany responded.
Acosta continued to interrupt and talk over McEnany, prompting her to respond, “You gotta let me finish, Jim, this isn’t a cable news segment, I am answering your question from the White House podium.”
McEnany went on to challenge Acosta over his network’s coverage of protests in contrast to coverage of Trump rallies.
“It’s appalling, you have one person on your network saying this is a celebration in the streets, a carnival like atmosphere. There is a guy with a sign that says free hugs … You celebrate hugging in the context of a protest, but in a Trump rally where we celebrate historic low African American unemployment, criminal justice reform, HBCUs — that rally is not allowed because guess what, Jim, it doesn’t fit the ideological agenda of CNN,” she said.
Could we equip that dumb mook with a ball gag instead of a mask? And maybe let McEnany give him a few jabs to the sternum.

Oh shit. That again? Didnt the SC rule on this decades ago?
It never dies.
1yr jail for flag burning/desecration. It was a passing comment relative to every other topic in his remarks so far. I say it could be bluster because of past experience*.
*He once made a comment that made DiFi wet in the britches, which prompted me to make an impulse firearm purchase. Nothing ever came of the comment. By observation he is a very actions > words person.

I had the pleasure of spending 4 hours on my motorcycle this afternoon.
Wow the area around the northern Delaware River in PA and NJ is beautiful.
I passed multiple horse farms and mansions with gates and fences that cost more than my house.
I went through one federal park and three state parks. Great roads, little traffic, and manageable heat.
One near miss with a hungry hawk, one stupid doe charging in front of me in a corner in full lean, and a gaggle of young black vultures.
Overall a great day on the bike and the wife spent all afternoon playing D&D. So we had our separate time doing what makes us happy without the other feeling like they missed out.
What kind of bike?
Yamaha FJ09.
Is that around Easton/ Allentown ?
My in laws live there and wifey grew up there.
Yamaha FJ09.
North of Easton. Between the Poconos and northeast corner of the state.
I spent around 3 hours riding my motorcycle west of Boston today. A pleasant experience despite the temperature above 90. But it was nice on the bike unless I was waiting for the green light.
I’m out. Good night Glbs.

Do most of you trim the layer of far off of corned beef? I always do. I just looked up a bunch of baked corned beef recipes, and they say to leave it on. To me, it’s not like the collar on a top round. It just seems kind of gross. Then again I’ve always cooked corn beef in water, and leaving it on just leaves a slick of fat floating on top. Anyway, I cut it off, and now it’s soaking in water in the fridge to get rid of the nitrates and extra salt.
I’ve never eaten corned beef so I wouldn’t know.
What are the pros and cons ?
um “layer of fat” not “layer of far”
Depends on how thick the layer of fat is. I trim off anything more than 1/4″.
It was around 3/8 – 1/2″
I got an 8.5 lb brisket a couple weeks ago. The first thing I did was trim the layer of fat off of it – probably about 1.5 lbs. I chopped that fat up and slowly rendered it down in a skillet for the tallow. Lots of use for that around my kitchen.

Good for Carlton. I root for them over Geelong.
I’ve had them daily, more or less, since just before Memorial Day. Not too many and luckily not that close. How is this even fun for them now? Does this mean it’s going to keep going until August (since Fourth of July is obviously going to reinvigorate them). I’m so bored of it already, I can’t imagine it’s that exciting even for the people doing it at this point. I suppose they’re different people, but still, they seem to be in the same general area, so you’d think the people who already did it, would be annoyed by it by now too.

My grandfather was a big shot Lt. in WW2. He went to Normandy and rebuilt the bridges that were blown up. He told me that the townspeople would notice that they were totally chaotic compared to when the Germans built them. The kruats kept everything perfectly arranged and took meticulous notes and records, where the Jerry’s would throw everything pretty much anywhere and not really care about much. Then, they said that we built them in a week and the Germans took almost a year for the same thing.
I thought the jerry’s were the Germans, same as krauts.
Yeah, oops. I meant the Yanks.

Oxford, MA gym owner brings in generators and porta potties
A defiant gym owner in Massachusetts responded to authorities shutting off his utilities by ordering generators and porta potties so that he could keep his business open.
Saw something that amused me today on a bike ride. Going through one of the parks, the regular restrooms were closed, but they had set up port-a-potties outside of them. They only explanation I can come up with is that no one wants to touch any surface in a port-a-potty.
NH has closed rest areas except for the privately leased one at Hookset on I-93.
They have set up port-potties at all the other rest areas.
They are as disgusting as you would imagine.

Drove through the south west corner of
Montana to Idaho Falls. Standard Montana road construction along the way. Looks like IDOT is getting in on the action and has the North section of I5 all fucked up.
A lot of people out and about for Saturday night at the falls. The motels look pretty full too.

Racist slogan vandalized by tire marks on a public street. Yet still doesn’t seem they’ve made any arrests in the numerous acts of arson, assaults, or property damage over the past three weeks.
OFFS!
They only have enough officers to investigate the important crimes. An obvious hate crime like this one requires attention.
Wasn’t me, my Challenger is black.
Is a white person driving a black car problematic?
Smoke ’em if you got ’em. Black lines matter.
I finally got Back from Vegas, Bella has Epilepsy as we thought, after an IV to get her glucose back, They loaded her with Keppra, and made sure she was OK, and sent me home with a Bottle of pills and some scrips, She’s disoriented but alive, and hopefully on the mend, I want my Wacky Poodle back to health,
Aw, hope she gets better soon!
Luck with the pooch, man. At least she’s got you to handle the medical for her.
Btw, There’s a good Boz Scaggs song too. Right here!
Scritches for Bella and a hug for you!
My dog had seizures. I don’t remember the vet diagnosing epilepsy but maybe I blanked it out. You will probably be told to get Bella annual blood tests. Do it. The anti-epilepsy meds take a toll on your dog’s liver. After enough time, you may need to change meds in order to make limit liver damage and/or prevent toxicity. For my boy, he stayed on the same drug for 8 years. His annual test indicated we were starting to run into trouble. Vet changed his meds and all remains well.
Is it another zoom night? 🙁
l0b0t set one up I believe (link). I’m tied up on a work call sitting on a bridge, waiting for the go ahead to confirm that everything is good.
/waves tiny essential flag
Some of the LIBTARD LOSERS are signing off, but TEAM TRUMP is still going strong.
I don’t Zoom. The commenting gets kinda light here when the others are.
No reason not to join us. I was hesitant at first, but it turns out, it’s even better than commenting.
Being on a conference call for work is a decent reason. At least another half hour before I can even get started doing the work I need to do…
And after being on for ~2.5 hours, the network change they were doing didn’t even impact the servers I support. They didn’t even fail over. No service interruption, and the health check took less then 10 minutes.
Oh well… it’s better then the alternative.
I’m here for you Plinker.
Did you get your PPP loan? Now they keep changing rules for forgiveness. With the new changes, I could have received a bigger amount.
I did. The program is/was a mess. I’m pretty sure my banker busted his ass to get it done. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised a federal government program cobbled together in a couple of weeks with no fixed rules was flaky.
I hear you on the forgiveness. I’m not sure those changes mean a larger “loan” would have been available but you may be right. I’m waiting for final, or least interim, regulations to get implemented so we know. There have been suggestions loans below a certain threshold should be forgiven without having to prove compliance. I don’t have a problem showing how the money was used. But I would be grateful not to have to spend more time on government compliance.
Yeah, my bank gave up sending copies of the new forms and just gives a link to the gov website. I have a good bookkeeper so documentation is not an issue for me either. I could have used the load more effectively under the new rules but the extra money will help no matter what. I’m not mad. I just shake my head at how “well” the government works.
I’ll take that to me smdh. I agree.
Unless inebriated, I’m kinda uncomfortable with commenting here on the weekend evening links now. I find the idea of a group of people I’ve been speaking to for years possibly reading and discussing my comments with each other in real time disconcerting. Not that I believe that I’m a regular or even infrequent topic of conversation with anybody here aside from the TPTB occasionally snickering amongst themselves at my most braindead stoner moments but, there it is.
My personal hang up, I know.
So you are saying you are triggered?
Heh. Well played. No, to be honest I’ve overly insecure and conscious lately.
I don’t like being on video. I have a bit of a self conscious issue too.
I’m the youngest participant, I think, and probably fifth likeliest to be picked up at a bar.
The camera does put on all the pounds you think you have.
You’re a fat fuck, and you desperately need exercise.
But it’s still a fun hang.
I feel ya. I don’t even like having my picture taken. Back before I wised up and quit FB people would get pissed when I refused to allow them to photo or tag me for their stupid fucking feed.
You know I was there, why does your aunt in Oregon need to know that?
That’s why doG created GlibFit. 😉
Pics?
*self
When I’ve been on Zoom there was zero discussion of what was going on here.
I figured as much but the possibility still bugs me. A paranoia bred from ignorance about what goes on there, I suppose.
What Rhy said. The two times I went on the zoom there were zero mentions of the current post and comments.
It… can be fun. As some have mentioned, it’s hard to get a word in edgewise. Some people are more talkative than others, just like real life I guess. I prefer the written word, TBH.
I feel the same way about it. Nice to see or hear people who you’ve only interacted with by written word, but with more than three or four people I find it hard to use video chat. The random audio breaks and weird pauses seem to throw off the flow of natural conversation that you’d have in person. Also, when I am here commenting I am usually doing at least one other thing, watching a movie, listening to music, reading something, so it kind of flows nicely with interspersed comments.
I’m with you and KSue. My phone conversations are awkward enough with a single person on the other end. A group call would have me bailing out pretty damn quickly.
This. Zooming is one more thing on top of the two other things I’m doing while I comment here.
usually Tres talks too much and then everyone else abides an awkward silence unless I take control.
Hey, you’re getting paid Friday. I started work with a better paying company this week but had to budget between the new pay periods.
So you took the new job?
Congrats to you TH! New/better jobs are good news – particularly in these times.
Yeah, better benefits, more money, a company devoted to painting only, not just a paint division for a large design/remodeling company, so far less extracurricular office/corporate style litigious nonsense to deal with. What really sold me was the shared split of bonus money you receive for any hours left over if you complete the job under the budget and labor time projection on the bid. Fucking incentives, how do they work again?
I stated earlier this year I wanted to start, own business by the end of the year but Commie Cough pretty much set that back for the foreseeable future. I’m just glad that I very well may come put of thos shitstorm in a better position. Didn’t think that was even possible.
Thanks, Tej.
And with that, I’m off. Sorry to post and run but my eyes are drooping.
Goodnight!
So… how drunk are you now?
Haven’t had a drop in almost three weeks, just stoned enough to not care for a few more comments then off to my own little world again. 😉
At least give us a few more bon mots before drifting off.
Dude, don’t make me look up weird words before bed.
I don’t Zoom mostly because this is the middle of my Sunday – a bit after 1300 right now – and I’m half likely to get dragged away for 3 minutes or 3 hours for some Honey-do or Daddy-duty surprise requirement thrown on me with no advance warning.
Oh, and my hearing is missing chunks of high frequency sound which became more apparent as more phones/systems went to digital sound – where it seems two or three of the transmitted bandwidths I don’t hear well. Some high-pitched voices sound like a cross between human speech and a buzzing mosquito to me.
The left’s efforts to memory hole the past are infuriating. But if I have to lie back and think of England then I’m going to enjoy this: https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2020/06/20/jesse-kelly-asks-hillary-clinton-why-she-attended-a-university-named-for-a-slave-trader-cancelyale-trends/
Nice. She is a fraud from start to finish. She doesn’t give a shit about “racial justice”. I don’t usually approve of such trolling but in her case she richly deserves it.
She is. I usually don’t go for the trolling but there is something about this that feels different. The left doesn’t seem to know, much less understand, that if their principles get applied to them then there are far reaching ramifications. It will effect them. See 53 below for a silly but direct example.
Unpersoning isn’t funny. Watching it get applied to some of their beloved institutions is.
Blue check mark nobody is certifiably insane. I’m beginning to think these zombie Maoists can’t be stopped by verbal reasoning.
(Fuck you Preet)
Something, something, hoisted by one’s own petard.
I’ve been wondering when the new wokeness is going to get around to realizing that the dude behind the Rhodes scholarship and Rhodesia are the same, exact dude – and they start to un-person all everybody (looking at you B. Clinton!) who took that money.
Will they let me fly to Hungary at the very end of July? Either as a US citizen or a family member of a EU citizen? Even though we’ve never been officially married. Anyway, I’ve already booked a ticket.
Which “they” are you referring to white man?
The LOT Polish check-in agents at LAX, border guards in Warsaw. Whatever that’s still in place in Budapest for arrivals from Poland.
Unless they completely closed their border, your hard currency, a valid passport, and a visa should get you in.
Good luck! Even if denied boarding/entry, it’s still probably good for trip report. Heck, submit it here. Probably won’t get many “stay out of Europe, we don’t want your American cooties” comments though.
Tomorrow, or today for some in stupid time zones, is Father’s day. I’m not one and I don’t have a living one. But, I’m going to use the smoker-grill I got from dad on some chicken and pork. Apple wood.
We’re supposed to have thunderstorms all day tomorrow. So my plans are to go to a spin class, go to a local hot chicken place that just reopened, drink beer, and comment here.
I didn’t even look at the weather, my grill fits mostly under my porch roof overhang so I can still use it of it’s raining. I haven’t gotten to use it yet this year, as it’s a very large grill and I only use it if I have company; but I haven’t had company and don’t know when I will, but I want to use it.
I m jelly. No cover for mine and grill year round.
Snow drifts make it so I can’t even get it under that overhang for at least six months a year, much less have feeling in all my fingers.

The before times, when you could just throw a party for no reason, and have a large number of friends, family, and acquaintances show up with no one wondering why. Cooking different foods, making sure all three taps had fresh home-brew on.
The good old days…
Not even that, it just seems no one wants to hang around with me unless they want something.
There’s a couple of households that still invite me over for parties and the like. And they’re not even related to me. Since the lockdown, there’s a lot of picking up of clutter and half finished projects that need to be finished in the house before we have (non-family) company over.
This video get funny about the 1 minute mark.

LOL
That baby trump balloon in the backround is just tarded.
So are the people who brought it.
That guy at the end wearing the shirt that says ‘Democrats Enslaved Blacks and Started The KKK!’ clearly doesn’t know that the parties switched sides!
Imma have to vote for the WWA President™. The Democrats have lost their ever loving minds, and there’s only two realistic outcomes.
First!
WWA?
I’m guessing DenverJ meant WWE but let’s not quibble.
I don’t know professional wres
I thought WWA was the one. Don’t care- same outcome. We have a… showman… who has been elected to the most powerful office on the planet. Not the greatest guy to rally around- until you look at the other guy with a realistic chance of winning- who will be a puppet for marxists
Don’t tell me… it’s because Rondo has electrolytes!
My favorite episode of Hat and Hair is over year old, how much the world has changed since then.
And you said you didn’t have kids.
Checkout my shiny new handle, courtesy of Tres “Bum-buster” Cool!
That avitar still makes me have confused reactions in my no-no place. And you do in fact have a mustache, I can vouch for that.
I’m just goin with flow… If baby-head wants to poke fun I can take it like a man.
I Tres Baby Head? please tell it’s so….
I can neither confirm nor deny that the reference is to someone who may have fallen into a TV.
It is so, Grasshopper.
Have you not watched the episode?
I watched it, I’m just saying I find it oddly erotic. Causes a short circuit in may catholic brain.
Short skirts, white blouses, and thigh high nylons. And they expected teenage males to pay attention to the teachers?

Never mind. It’s headed for cancellation
Finally home to ginger ale and Pimms. I’ve noticed that traffic enforcement has just about completely stopped since BLM started. This is on the heels of the most presence I’ve seen in years as things started to reopen and traffic picked up.
With our dearth of BLM protests here in the Inland Northwest, traffic enforcement has held strong, but not as much as just after the reopening.
I love this place, I can just and lurk, learn and laugh, Zoom? no thanks, I can’t in a word, But please tell me Baby Head is Tres! please!
I named him thus. So it is written, so shall it be!

I doubt you’d have much time to regret Kim Jong Sis. She seems to be the praying mantis type.
Runs out of digits and can’t count past eleven.
Hey Glibs!
I have spent the last couple of days driving the family across this great nation of ours. I’m currently holed up in a hotel in Rockford Illinois.
CNN, NBC, PBS and the rest have been gleefully pressing the nation towards a race war for the last couple of weeks. And if you watched nothing but MSNBC or CNN, you think they were succeeding.
Here is what I can report. It ain’t working. At least not yet.
People throughout the State of Florida are nice. People through Georgia or nice I spent the night in Marietta Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. I spent 3 hours with the night staff getting things squared away. That one hint of anything other than normal kindness, despite racial disparities among the parties.
People through Tennessee were nice. I stopped for a dozen Krystal burgers in the worst neighborhood in Chattanooga. No signs of any animosity from anyone. Everyone was nice.
People in Kentucky surprisingly nice. A huge, six foot nine black dude held the door for me at a truck stop.
The people in Illinois. Nice. We didn’t go to Chicago though.
So, after covering some 1,300 miles of this great nation with another 500 to go on my journey, I can report that CNN is full of s***.
Please excuse the spuriously incorrect words. This is dictated from my phone after having driven around the clock for 3 days.
That’s just your polite white privilege talking cracker!
/safe travels
Thank you for the update, good news. Despite the news media, most people just want to have their family, friends, and fun. Hopefully there is a pendulum swing from the lefty insanity we have been living through.
I’m predicting that the ever-growing disparity between currently lived experience and CNN/MSNBC/CBS/PBS plus the increasingly obvious blind eye averting any view of Biden’s senility will be handing the election to Trump. Good, bad, or ugly – that will be the outcome. The best up-side is how we’ll all be drowning in proggie tears by Turkey day.
I await the “Rheeeing” like a four year old watching the chimney for Santy Clause.
I would seriously be much happier if the two parties would offer us two people who I could expect to do less damage than the two being offered but I guess that’s way too much to ask for.
Yesterday, I happened to catch part of a Jordan Peterson video in which he says one good thing about Trump is how he hasn’t gotten us involved in any new stupid wars. Sad that such a low bar is actually something to be held up as a good thing, particularly as it’s been a while since a US president hasn’t cleared that one, sad limit. And I don’t clear Carter of this charge as his total bumbling of foreign affairs – particularly in the Middle East – was a major factor in how we got to this Effed up situation in the first place.
I was bored so I watched some “School of Rock” videos. It was disturbing to me that I couldn’t tell boy from girl. I know unisex ain’t a thing up here but what in the ever living fuck? Glee club turned the Gays gay? Have to quiz the Grandkids about the current mores, I suppose. “Oh, Grampy!”
Gay ain’t got nothin’ to do with it. Those unisex “rockers” are swimming in poon.
Just watched two thirds of “Ophelia” before I passed out. Can anyone tell me how it ends?
That Cal State score would be handy. Holy shit! The neighbors are not social distancing tonight. Mondo Parto! More power to em (just don’t burn any of my stuff).
I’m watching STL @ CIN 1978-06-16
I truly hope Im responsible for that name.
Doesn’t Ophelia drown in Act IV?
Should have gotten herself to a nunnery.

Armed police response, yet somehow nobody died? Sometimes the UK has it right.
You shut your whore mouth. The UK gets nothing right, ever.
