This week Joe Arpaio, formerly the Maricopa County Sheriff, accepted a Cameo…(TW: AZCentral). I know, you are probably rolling your eyes at the mentioning of Arpaio; bear with me here.
This is my review of Four Peaks Masskrug Monsoon Dunkel Lager:
Cameo is a shout out service where celebrities, or people that are simply well known for whatever reason, will film a personalized “shout out” for a reasonable fee. Well-known people like Arpaio. I can’t tell if this is intended to be parody, but this is the result:
I have absolutely nothing to say here, other than I don’t think he is familiar with Furries.
Yes, John McAfee is on cameo.
This beer like Arpaio is a local issue, so its not available for most of us. Its a limited run that was prompted by their declaration this summer sucked, so they are skipping directly to fall. Clever marketing, and it means I got local yokel Oktoberfest in August(!). Its pretty good, but it fell flat pretty quickly. I was expecting better. Four Peaks Masskrug Monsoon Dunkel Lager: 2.9/5
“Four Peaks Masskrug Monsoon Dunkel Lager”
How do you order that at a bar?
Dunkel, please.
The odds of their being two is very low.
OK, because I’ve worked bars where if the customer tried to say that whole name, I’d be on to the next customer.
Whycome you hate precision?
Bartending is piecework. There needs to be efficiency on both sides of the wood.
Don’t I know it.
Got deprived of a lot of drinks for talking slowly?
Nah, but I don’t flag down the bartender unless I know what I want to order.
If the bar is slammed and you’re dithering over your drink order, you’re costing me tips. Like I said, piecework.
“Hey look, mister. We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don’t need any characters around to give the joint “atmosphere”. Is that clear, or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer?”

(What drink does Clarence finally decide upon? Flaming rum punch?)
Four Peaks Dunkel.
Dunkel brau, beer tap frau, bitte.
If I only asked for a “Dunkel” I’d be worried they might bring me a donut or a rotary engine.
1. Go to their taphouse
2. Order “the Dunkel”
Old guy walks into a bar
Black bartender,”What’ll it be”
Old guy, looks at bartender’s name tag “Gimme a Dunkel, Tom”
Bartender walks away, really pissed
Heh.
“How do you order that at a bar?”
You just ask what this week’s hipster juice special is.
More Double Two Hearted for me.
/has a six pack in the fridge now
Double Two Hearted?
Regular Two Hearted was fine the way it was.
More of a good thing. Looking at the calendar, it’s about a six month difference from Hopslam, so it lets them keep two solid IIPA’s in rotation. Happily, Best Brown is also back on the shelves.
Ooo…. Bell’s Best Brown is good.
I haven’t been beer shopping in a while. I’ve been drinking beer in bars so I don’t know what is on the shelf locally. I can tell you what’s on tap though.
Word up.
I need to find my cup.
Word Up.
Tres gets me.
What am I, chopped liver? Look at what that man is wearing.
Four Peaks makes good beer,
The Cleveland Oktoberfest is usually held over Labor Day weekend. It was cancelled this year. For those who like Southern Tier Pumking, whiskey, and get Southern Tier high proof spirits, they have made a Pumking Whiskey. I only qualify on two counts.
Currently drinking a Great Lakes Octoberfest. The first time I ever had it was a couple of years ago at a Browns Backers Bar in Chicago. I think I ordered 5-7 beers and by the end of the game I was slurring my words.
On the beer run today, I picked up some “too local” beers to try to help out the breweries. One from Working Class brewery in Kamms Corner (I know one of the brewers there), and one from Missing Mountain down in Akron (a place I’ve been meaning to get to, but…).
Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of Oktoberfest/Marzen beers. They generally come across too sweet for me. Not liking pumpkin beers just makes this time of year the worst for seasonals for me. The real fun came when Great Lakes released Blackout Stout in kegs for the first time. It got delivered to the bars same as any other GLBC seasonal would be. The difference being that Blackout Stout is ~10% ABV, and for the bars that didn’t do craft (except the Dortmunder and Seasonal from GLBC), they sold them by the pint at regular price. It lead to some entertaining times.
Picked up a sixer of ‘Warsteiner Pilsner’ today. Is it any good?
I assume it’s common or it wouldn’t be at my supermarket.
Yes it is good, and fairly widely distributed. I had a Maß of it last weekend as a matter of fact.
Kewl.
Yeah, it’s good.
What I’ve been drinking is mostly DAB, Carlsberg, and Bitburger.
I’ll just buy some type of European pilsner /lager. Last week I had some good Czech beer, Praga I think.
Sometimes I’ll drink some other style beers, like Marzen, Heffe, anything but IPA. Ayinger is a great heffe.
I avoid American IPAs, which are all bitter swill made in plastic mop buckets. Except American lager, which is not lager, but a bitter IPA like swill, made in plastic mop buckets left out in the sun.
Americans do lots of good things, beer is not one of them.
This may be the most wrong statement ever posted on this website. And this includes those who defend pineapple on pizza.
/deletes long post about bringing back historic and extinct beer styles while creating new ones
Name me a good American lager? They’re all IPAs.
Sadly, the only decent tasting lager or pils type beer here is Miller Highlife and there’s no alcohol in it.
You get a choice here. The Budweiser style commercial grade stuff that tastes like some sort of vile chemical with a little artificial beer taste. And the craft stuff, which is only IPA bitter swill.
Name me a good American lager?
Corporate brew or craft brew?
One local shop here has a really nice Vienna lager and several make Czech Pils.
Hyperion:
A good American lager… alright:
Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold
Hansa Black Flag Schwarzbier
Market Garden Ripple Effect
Penn Brewery Penn Pilsner (actually a Vienna Lager, there’s a story there)
Brooklyn Insulated Dark Lager
Hoppin’ Frog Gold Band Export Bohemian Dunkel Lager
Rheingeist Cheetah
Oskar Blues Vienna Lager
New Belgium Shift
New Belgium 1554 Enlightened Dark Ale
Sierra Nevada Vienna Lager
Terrestrial Brewing Look Shaun, I can Make Classic German Beer Too!
Market Garde Nano OG Lager
Founders Solid Gold
This is just a list of ones that I’ve had and enjoyed. Shit, here in Ohio we have several breweries that specialize in Eastern European beers and German beers.
OK. I asked the wrong question. Name me an American lager that is like Stella Artois or Heineken.
There aren’t any, not that I’ve tried anyway. And I’ve tried a lot. They all taste like IPA to me, too hoppy and too bitter.
If you don’t mind the overly hoppy bitter taste, then sure there’s lots of those type beers here that could be considered good. There just none of them that are like the European lagers that I like. Someone here actually told me once that it’s because those beers are very difficult to make for some reason. I can’t remember what it was, something about the brewing process. Maybe it’s the water?
Any who, I just got some more Carlsberg, cheers!
Hyperion:
Then you’re looking for Euro Pale Lagers, a much smaller selection then lager. I’ve had a couple of good ones, but they were all from local breweries with minimal in state distribution, let alone out of state distribution. You’ll need to hunt local. As for the ones I listed, not a single one has an IBU or an IBU/OG ratio that would come close to even the smallest IPA.
I believe Heineken is considered a malt lager and I thought Stella is just a regular lager. I think both are 5.4% ABV.
But I’ve tried many here in so many pubs and I’ll read their extensive beer list and ask ‘you have any lagers like Stella?’, and they’ll say ‘oh sure, this is the one’. It will be a similar color, but will be overly bitter, always.
If I drink beer in beer pubs here, that’s why I always only drink dark beers, stouts, etc. Or give a heffe a try to see how it is.
Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of Oktoberfest/Marzen beers.
More for me.
In fact, tonight I will go back to the one local brewpub for more of their Oktoberfest.
I’m drinking a little red wine right now. I have a pot of beef burgundy on the stove. This wine is leftover… well… until I drink it all.
Yep. I don’t understand those who want to kill off a beer style. If there’s a style I don’t care for, I just won’t try it. There’s plenty of styles and beers that I do enjoy.
The best beer of that type I’ve ever had was the original Christian Morelein I used to buy in Cincy. It was Marzen like, but it was sort of unique. My friends and I would buy all we cold get. Haven’t ever seen it around here.
My fave GLBC beer is Dortmunder Gold.
I’m relaxing in the rain with a Dogfish head SeaQuench session sour, limes , black li.e peel and see salt, yum!
Fun fact:(From Wiki)
We always said ein Maß, bitte.
*Lights Derpy signal*
Always said “Un mas, s’il vous plait” . Well, it worked in France anyway, maybe in Quebec
Yeah, the vocabulary around this stuff is kind of murky. It’s like the pop/soda of Germany.
We always said ein Maß, bitte.
You were in southern Germany? I don’t think that would work in Köln or Düsseldorf.
Stuttgart (Nellingen), Oberammergau, and Garmisch. What do the northern Germans use?
Also, Maß seemed like more of a beer festival thing where they use the giant 1 liter mugs. At your local Gasthaus, it is more like just asking for the type, such as Helles, Pils, Bock, etc.
In some Munich restaurants, they served me beer in a Maß.
In Cologne and Düsseldorf, I just asked for a beer. “Kölsch, bitte” in Cologne and “Alt, bitte” in Düsseldorf.
Or black lime peel and sea salt,

Thank you for this defense. xD
I had that chart on my wall at work for years.
I’m not really sure it’s too much of a defense… 🙂
In fairness, I did my time in LARPing (Vampire even).
The Masquerade, you fucking nerd? At least I did Werewolf.
commodious:
Yep. Never liked the hippie warrior mindset of Werewolf.
I was even in a game that was linked with other cities and traveled to play a couple of times.
How does this compare to FCLORP-ing? 😛
I never actually RP’d it, I just owned the player’s guide. I’m a lameo like that.
Can’t remember much of the PC game, either.
How about those of us who wrote rather detailed rules for tabletop wargaming using our 3 3/4” G.I. Joe figures and built massive cardboard/foamcore cities in the garage? We resisted Warhammer for a long time because the figures lacked articulation.
You left the lowest of the low bottom dwellers off the chart. We have them around here. They play games on cardboard squares with hand painted pictures on them, and crude objects like cards and dice, and weird little figurines! They don’t even use a PC, no graphics, no WSAD, no mouse, true troglodytes!
Aw, hey! This was well before Second Life was a thing! (I think?)
It was a lot of fun, though: learning to mod, patch, and script.
There was a whole section called “Furrabian Nights,” that I found endlessly hilarious. I’d say use your imagination, but maybe don’t.
As long as you’re not a vore. I hate that I know what that is.
I fucked around with RPG Maker as a teenager. Never learned to code, though.
There was a whole section called “Furrabian Nights,”
Okay, no, despair.
Ah, I am familiar enough with the depths of the internet to know of vore, but it is not my jam. There’s definitely something out there for everyone… if you look hard enough.
Interesting! I’ve always dug games with embedded scripting capabilities.
I’ve been playing Shenzhen I/O lately, which is less a game and more an uncomfortably realistic sim of being an embedded systems programmer in Shenzhen. Takes me back to my college days, and not really the good parts.
Man, that … that doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. Surely there are easier ways to get back to the not good college days, like breaking a ramen brick in half for dinner?
I’ve been stuck playing Fall Guys basically since it came out.
When I first saw the promo for Fall Guys, I described it as “A Candy-colored Nightmare”. I still can’t look at gameplay footage without it hurting my eyes.
Is it at least fun?
It is a lot of fun, provided you don’t take it too seriously. Definitely a party game. You are constantly jockeying for space while sometimes trying to stay with the herd and looking for advantage. But the playing field is absolutely even, so it can be pretty frustrating if you’re playing to win v playing for the fun absurdity of it.
It’s fun to play on my own in my living room, but it’s more fun to play with a few people in your living room, maybe having a few bowls of loudmouth soup, and passing the controller after a round or two.
There’s a picture I’ve got from last Thanksgiving of my nephews, my niece, and her boyfriend all furiously engaged in playing Super Smash Brothers on my Switch. There’s a time and a place for party games.
I’ve been thinking about picking up the Avengers, but the game as a service portion turns me off. I’m really hopeful CDPR releases a good Cyberpunk game in November.
I think we are all hopeful for that. C’mon, 2077… Just be good. Be the game we all wish you are.
Riven:
Because it’s CDPR, I’ve almost pulled the trigger for a pre-order. Which I haven’t done since… ME3 I think?
Same… **Almost** preordered. … Almost. I really want to believe.
I did preorder. I have a whole bunch of factors and only a handful of companies can qualify for a preorder. If it turns out bad, CDPR loses that status. If it’s just okay, they skate. But so far it looks good.

Speaking of languages, I just got the Obamacare-mandated Summary of Benefits and Coverage for my med insurance. The page with some required notice translated into every language someone might speak somewhere includes one in something called Ilocano. I have never heard of that language. Of course, I’ve hardly been anywhere, but still…
Our tax dollar at work.
“Dollars”, even.
A language from the northern Philippines, apparently. Had never heard of it either.
“Ilocano is an Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines. It is the third most-spoken native language in the country.
As an Austronesian language, it is related to Malay (Indonesian and Malaysian), Tetum, Chamorro, Fijian, Maori, Hawaiian, Samoan, Tahitian, Paiwan and Malagasy. It is closely related to some of the other Austronesian languages of Northern Luzon, and has slight mutual intelligibility with the Balangao language and the eastern dialects of the Bontoc language.[dubious – discuss] [8]
The Ilokano people had their own distinct indigenous writing system and script known as kur-itan. There have been proposals to revive the kur-itan script by teaching it in Ilokano-majority public and private schools in Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur.”
I hate giving clicks to wikipedia.
FIL did three tours in Vietnam. On leave once he and some other guys took a trip to Northern Luzon. He claimed the Ilokano speaking tribes were still practicing cannibals and their villages typically had lots of skulls on stakes near the approaches to the villages.
Not exactly my idea of a vacation destination.

What? Cows don’t grub up taters and eat them raw?
They’ll eat them if you cook them and put some butter and sour cream on them. Maybe a little salt.
But this would cause the 2nd great potato famine.

Keep the cows away from the potatos. They’ll join each other on the plate in the end.
Not my plate!

I asked about it while I was there (as here it’s grass fed beef that’s advertised). They can’t grow corn well in Ireland, so by default the local cows are grass fed, so to them corn-fed is the exotic better one.

This won’t end well.
*shrug* We’ll see the results in a year or two. Something something labs of democracy.
So, situation normal. This is always true everywhere.
The cops have no obligation to protect anyone anywhere ever.
I read that Castle Rock was decided on liability grounds.
That’s not what they do. They show up after the fact and play investigator, and then arrest people to feed into the courts machine.
The problem I can see as a possibility, is once the hardcore criminals realize that the cops aren’t ever coming, even after the fact. Then, after Beta gets all the guns, and the hardened criminals who are basically already organized crime gangs running cities, will also realize that people can’t protect themselves and they’ll just start robbing homes in broad daylight.
All of these cities are going to become unlivable hell holes, but the democrat controlled federal government will just send them bailout money until there’s no bailout money left.
In the UK home burglaries now mostly take place during the day. The homeowners not only aren’t armed, they go to jail if they resist the burgler.
Yeah, I know, it’s insane and that’s where we’re going here. They have Castle Doctrine here even in MD. You do not have to retreat and if you kill someone in your home, that is self defense. Which is how it should be.
I think the only exception to this is MA, which is insanity. But the democrats want this bullshit everywhere.
Home burglaries in the ‘States mostly take place during the day, too. The occupants of the house are usually at work then.
I should have stated that differently. I mean home invasions, not burglaries. IOW, they will know the homeowners are there, but won’t care because they know the home owners cannot defend themselves and they have no fear of arrest. Because who’s going to arrest them, the cops are defunded or quit. As an added bonus, since the homeowners are there, maybe they can kidnap and ransom them or at least get their jewelry and wallet. Maybe a trip to the bank for some forced ATM withdrawals.
Pretty much Brazil and South Africa, then. I could see things going this way.
Stay strapped!
Shit. The cops barely even handle that level of investigation anymore. These days the cops do traffic, and handle the cleanup if there’s a dead body or substantial property damage out in public. Maybe.
I’d take the whole defunding thing more seriously if the cops were something other than pain-in-the-ass ticket takers and paperwork filers.
I dunno, I mean apparently they show up to shoot people dead, or at least a dog, occasionally. Isn’t that how we got here?
The problem I can see as a possibility, is once the hardcore criminals realize that the cops aren’t ever coming, even after the fact. Then, after Beta gets all the guns, and the hardened criminals who are basically already organized crime gangs running cities, will also realize that people can’t protect themselves and they’ll just start robbing homes in broad daylight.

Can’t tell if serious.
You should know by now that all my posts are totally serious.
So totally unserious, got it.
That’s not what I said.
But it’s the only thing that makes sense. If all your posts are unserious so is the one about all post being serious, and they are no longer self-contradictory.
Nope.
Just being silly. I did a post that was not to be taken seriously. But part of the post included a topic that may have given a feel to it that I might have been being serious.
Which is why I can see why MS might have thought I was being serious. He just made a post about beer and I said ‘I was trying to quit drinking but you people are triggering me’.
It was not serious. But easily could have been taken otherwise.
But I just don’t see how my follow up about all my posts being serious could have been taken to mean none of my posts are serious.
But he is a known purveyor of exaggeration, seriously . Even his disclaimers.

I saw my first Biden lawn sign today. After driving past a hundred or so Trump signs and flags in northwest NJ on my way to hike.
Maybe they lost a bet?
During my morning perusal of the twits prior to going to work I saw something like: ‘Judging by yard signs I see, Biden will come in third after Trump and Fire Wood for Sale.’
Should have liked, that was an excellent tweet.
???
From 2012.
Joking aside, is it just me or are yard signs far more rare now then twenty or so years ago? If I see three yards signs on a block now it’s exceptional, when I was a yoot they were everywhere, one of the ‘pranks’ us delinquents would pull would be to round up all the signs in a neighborhood and put them all in some dork’s or hot girl’s from lawn. We’d fill a good size lawn now you’d get maybe a dozen.

Heckler’sMudslinger’s vetoVice President Mike Pence has canceled plans to attend a Trump campaign fundraiser in Montana following revelations that the event’s hosts had expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory.
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign told The Associated Press on Saturday that Pence’s schedule had been changed, but the campaign did not provide a reason or say whether the fundraiser might be held at a later time. The change comes after the AP reported Wednesday that hosts Cayrn and Michael Borland in Bozeman, Montana, had shared QAnon memes and retweeted posts from QAnon accounts.
The baseless conspiracy theory alleges Trump is battling an entrenched bureaucracy and sex trafficking ring run by pedophiles.
I can’t be bothered to find out.
Meanwhile, mainstream Democrats are advocating full on socialism and abandonment of all Constitutional restraints.
Trump isn’t battling an entrenched bureaucracy? I don’t know about the pedos, but the first half doesn’t sound like a crazy conspiracy theory.
Nope. They link the two ideas on purpose.
My SO has waded through all the QAnon muck so that I don’t have to.
He’s convinced it’s real. Granted, the man loves him some conspiracy action, but still.

When you have a bunch of people who all work in the same jobs, who all went to the same schools, who’s families all know each other, who all live in the same bubble of shared cultural assumptions, then it doesn’t really count as a conspiracy.
Great movie, though.
…and spending another 3 trillion dollars, emptying prisons, and defunding police. Plus more shutdowns, mandatory vaccines, mandatory testing, mandatory contact tracing, etc.
And then there’s encouraging the rioters.
QAnon’s so 2019.
The world has been run by The Illuminati from a bunker in Tibet since 208 BC.

Mojeaux hardest hit.
As long as they’re back for Easter, I’m good.
?
Only 4 KIAs in Chi-town so far today (by noon) but one incident had 6, yep, 6 shot (2 Ks, 4 Ws). Must have had a revolver.

Yusuf hardest hit?
We had our garage sale today. Borrowed som tables from the country club and sorted stuff and arranged it last weekend.
All I did was list it on NextDoor, saying we’d open at 11am, and people showed up in droves when we opened up the garage door at 9. Turns out there was already an organized plan to have garage sales in this neighborhood.
So we didn’t have to put up signs or anything. Mostly we sold smaller items, except one Specialized bicycle. But somehow it added up to 400 bucks! And the junk is out of my house/garage.
There are still some nice items, but the traffic really tapered off so I think Goodwill gets the rest, if they take it.
We didn’t wear masks. Most shoppers did. One thanked us for not wearing masks and gratefully took hers off. Sad to see so many sheeple obeying “guidelines”.
One Japanese American dad called the mask thing stupid and when he found he had a receptive audience, he unburdened himself. That Jap is pulling the lever for Trump, and can’t wait to do so.
400 bucks, nice haul! I doubt we got 50 for ours last year. Clearly you acquired superior junk over the years.
I suppose it was good “junk”. Some of it worked fine but was outdated, like a Sony stereo (nothing fancy; just for the casual listener). And the Christmas ornaments sold welll, as did new shoes and other random crap. A Bluetooth tricorder (the really nice ones that are replicas of what Spock and Kirk had) sold to a grateful Hispanic nerd and his buddy.
I still have the Pioneer Vsk 1021.
I accidentally put my Trinitite rock on a table and had to retrieve it.
People buy the weirdest stuff.
Looks like I’m still stuck with my 4 antique radios.
Excellent, all the way around. Well, except for the excessive masks. ?
Excellent haul! Good work, you.
Re: the New Zealand “Dump Trump” beer mentioned above, an American brewery should name a beer that’s insulting to New Zealand. Maybe with “kiwi” in the name. What would be a good name and appropriate style of beer?
Something sour with too much yeast.
You mean something like this?
Though I did enjoy it.
Sounds okay to me.
Tangy Infected Lager
Kiwi sour ale.
“Sod Off Mate”
“Turn in your guns and submit lager”
Lol
I was thinking something along the lines of “Kick a Kiwi” or “Krushed Kiwi” with some graphic showing some idiot wearing a New Zealand flag shirt getting his ass kicked.
You seem to be mistaking insults of Trump as insults of Americans. A beer insulting the NZ Prez or King or Chief Shaman or whatever they have would be the appropriate response. I’m certain their are some NZ’ers who love Trump.
Maybe it should be more along the lines of “STFU Kiwi” because I don’t think their opinion of American politics is relevant. When I traveled to Australia after a recent vote on whether to continue to recognize the British monarchy, I asked various Australians their opinion on the vote. I didn’t tell them mine.
Sure, but we are the biggest game in town and insinuate ourselves ( yes sometimes they ask for it) into nearly every other countries biddness, so I can see why they might be concerned about us as opposed to Ecuador or Togo.
So we need a beer insulting Xi Jinping?
Bill Clinton needed a distraction he bombed an aspirin factory.
Donnie needs a distraction and he creates Peace in the Middle East.

He’s a crafty one, that Trump.
He’s crafty like a good beer. ?
What’s she hiding on her neck?
*shudder*
Her Keeper, like the one that controlled Emperor Molari on Babylon 5.
No spoilers!
I need to start watching that box set I ordered.
Really? I wish I could watch B5 for the first time again.
Really. I only saw it once or twice back in the day and don’t remember a thing. That was a very inconvenient time for me to be watching any regular television.
I’ve wished for the same thing! To enjoy it fresh.
It is still fresh because while watching it, you can’t miss the parallels to the past, and to a possible future under EarthGov.
“when the numbers of people who are affected and the numbers of people who are dying from this virus only increases”
They have no shame about lying.
Why should they feel shame when they are cheered on by their peers and their idols for the very behavior we would all find shameful?
The radical left is. radical and like all radicals they are detached from reality and do nothing but spout pure bullshit.
Honestly, if Trump loses this election I will disown my country. I still haven’t forgiven the fuckwits that voted for Obama in 2012 and only nominally give a pass to the ones that voted for him in 2008. This will be the last straw if Biden wins. Goddamned commies.
Don’t hold back, how do you really feel?
Wow, she actually said that.
Considering the things democrats have been saying lately, not sure why you’d question it.
I make that remark every time that witch opens her mouth.
Never forget, Nancy used to pal around with Jim Jones. She is a full blown communist at heart.
https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/09/kean-u-student-dorming-on-campus-tests-positive-for-covid-19.html
I hate these stories, and I see them every day. ONE student tested positive, and it’s big news? Give me a break. My son just had his classes at Scranton “temporarily” switched from in-person to online because of too many (whatever that means) positive tests. And the kids are not permitted to be in a dorm room other than their own. I’m sure the learning experience will be stellar, in a 10×10 room shared with a roommate.
Are any of the positives showing symptoms? How many are getting retested if not?
No one is saying, but since i’ve seen no tales of horror in the media I am assuming not much in the way of actual illnesses, standard virus behavior. Son does’t know anyone who is actually sick.
The positivity rate is downright ridiculous. Gee, seasonal allergies and colds decrease so people aren’t getting tested for them? I bet the positivity rate will decrease as fall turns into winter.
The whole point is to butter you up for closing the campuses. Don’t turn that spare bedroom into a sewing room yet.
Heh. Just stocked the new freezer with steaks. That boy loves him some steak.

More pedos, eh?
Do they have Netflix accounts?
They were just trying to get their cast together for the new Netflix series!
I remember when Chris Hansen was doing those To Catch a Predator shows. He did one in the Dayton area and I recognized one of the guys from a building I used to work at on Wright-Patterson AFB. Creepy!
https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/09/former-nj-judge-and-fox-news-analyst-accused-of-sexual-assault.html
“A former New Jersey Superior Court judge turned Fox News legal analyst has been accused of sexually assaulting a man more than 30 years ago who was set to appear in his courtroom, according to a federal lawsuit.
Andrew Napolitano, Fox News’ judicial analyst, allegedly forcibly sodomized and sexually assaulted a man in Hackensack who was facing three counts of arson in Napolitano’s courtroom, according to the lawsuit filed in New York Southern District Court by attorney Jon L. Norinsberg, on behalf of the alleged victim.”
More than 30 years ago?
Sure.
#BelieveAllBuggered
What if you commit a felony and are schedule to appear in my courtroom? What if I find you attractive? What if I offer you a way out of your predicament?
Bravo!
You take it and then scream rape 40 years later when you find the guy is a TV personality.
I think both that sort of offer and the screaming rape 40 years later would both be wrong. Just saying.
Are you serious?
I think the left burned their credibility on sexual assault allegations to the ground already, so I am calling bullshit.
30 years ago huh? Just now coming out a few weeks before an election? Sounds familiar. Did he use the pitiful and transparently fake squeaky voice when he told about it?
Comet Channel is starting Dr. Who: Invasion Earth 2150 right now.
What? It’s going to be another 130 years before our new overlords save us?
*resumes calls for SMOD 2021*
Anyone ever hear about this?
Mysterious mounds of Aisle of Pines
I found this interesting because unlike a lot of there ‘mysteries’, this one has apparently not been solved.
I read that entire article and there’s been no shortage of far fetched theories thrown out by serious researchers.
To my untrained eye, those just scream ‘100% natural origin’, IOW, no people involved with that. No tools or anything associated with human activity ever found around them.
Also, they just look natural, like no sort of pattern that would show human intention. They’re just randomly located.
My guess, some sort of ancient extinct plant or tree, or that with some sort of organism involved. Like ancient trees destroyed by some infestation of something and that’s what left. The so called ‘concrete’ is just some sort of natural concretions.
I am too lazy to look right now but I need more info. What is the elevation of the locations of these tumuli? I am inclined to think they may be human made. I am probably biased because the mound building injuns around these parts left zillions of mounds. Once you learn to see them they are all over the place.
Sadly we have very little knowledge about that culture because they disappeared long before the Indians that we found here arrived. The same is true for the ‘Aztec’ pyramids in Mexico. The Aztecs did not build them. The Aztecs found them after the builders either died off or just abandoned them.
When DeSoto got to Jonesville he asked the injuns what the mounds were for and they said “We dont know. They were here when we got here.”
I suspect the mound/pyramid building mentality is something natural in humans and these in the South Pacific could be more of that phenomena.
Also, peak Ice Age sea levels were as much as 200 feet(?) lower than today and land levels were not the same as today. It might be worth a look to see if there are any mounds now underwater.
I just pulled all of that right out of my ass.
It’s fascinating how many stone tools get dredged up by fishing vessels because of the area that got submerged after the last glacial maximum.
“Hold my Stein” – I like that. Hey, remember when Arpaio made some convicts pick up trash wearing pink teddies or something like that? Good times.
