The Maze
the basket is right in front of you….
I decided to stop a while, a bit north of the 44th parallel, and of course they golf here, many big, impressive places, most with 24 holes, I have no idea why.
Straight up, 352 feet, piece of cake
the shot I ended up with, bogey 4
As you can see, the place is Green! A far cry from my usual desert conditions, and as a result it can get technical quick, like the 5th hole, straight, tight fairway, leading to this, and a bogey 4. The course is at a Community College, (of course) but on some gorgeous land, rolling hills, open spaces, and trees of all types, easy to play, hard to master, let’s continue…..
The 8th hole is up and ove a hill to a tree filled gully, nice
looking down to my second shot
deep in a holler, there is a basket
beautiful fairways
I did manage a long par putt. The fairways all present blind shots, so big curving shots are needed, and a bit of luck, it’s a great place to test out your trick shots.
The first time I attempted this course, I got lost, and found the 11th basket.
look at the skyline, there is a basket
where I actually shot from
When I played the hole, it was very different//true sho// I layed up for par, yippee!
Next we get to 18 and the trees, not California style trees, it’s more like a links style, tight, but open course, challenging to say the least.
cant see the basket for the trees
a technical shotl
This is a disc golf course
At last we finish in a clear blue sky, and a short walk back to the car. A good morning game, I shot +15, hoped for 12, but I’ll be back.
Next up, The Beauty.
Michigan can be beautiful, and Fall is its best season. There’s something about the light, and the green and traces of brown, and the beginning of color in the leaves.
I think this week and next is the time, gonna take a lot of pictures, beautiful country,
Concur. Fall in the upper Midwest is wonderful.
I found out a few weeks ago there is a disc course along the river in the town I live near. This throwing discs at things is still something I am interested.
low impact aerobics, we are hurling them, just making them spin fast out of the hand, it’s a very interesting type of throw, try it, Tonio plays too,
Not hurling them, oops
what’s the name? I would like to look it up on U disc and see,
I have deleted three replies because I could be doxed then realized who the fuck cares and the people who might care that I comment here are the ones I am at the point I would like to tell to fuck the right off. I live about 6 miles from the course here. I grew up on the upper Gunnison river 70 or so miles from here and now live on the mid Gunnison river. When it meets the CO river in Grand Junction it becomes one. And hence how I have pissed in Sharpshooters pool from a distance. Hell you swam in my piss too Bob!
I looked into the Black Gorge from the top and pissed my pants once, sharesies!
Okay Western Sloper over there are at least three parks in the Delta area and Confluence is one of the higher ready ones pack lunch cuz it’s going to kick your butt, there’s some really big holes, on the other hand I’d love to come down there and play
Come on down. This place is high desert. Mild winters and hot summers. It is perfect for some. I think the equatorial climate is perfect but have not managed to live there for long as of yet. I bought the whole golf disc packs when the kid and his cousins were early teens and we played a few courses. Never stuck and they grew older and I grew old. The discs disappeared in one move or another.
Beautiful pictures.
No sign of a rapesquatch lurking in the bushes anywhere.
good image, good eye, and yes they are badgers,
Honey badgers?
no, they took mt disc
That’s how you know it’s all a lie
I couldn’t retrieve a really nice disc because a STEVE SMITH Dog, was in my path, litle Demon,
Really, fucking Badger!
He’s not in Cascadia.
But can you be sure, sure in your bones that STEVE SMITH didn’t travel the Squatch trail to Minnesota just to get a little lovin’? He might really, really like Yusef. You never know.
Yikes
Wow, you found something in Michigan that wasn’t closed down!
wide open as long as you like drive thru, some exceptions….
we went for a walk on the shore this morning,
https://photos.app.goo.gl/zgJfEsBeubKpS7248
Very pretty!!
Looks like New York if you stole all the mountains.
Go out to the Finger Lakes region.
Why would I?
It’s New York if you stole all the mountains.
It’s a beautiful region – its all lakes and gorges instead of mountains – but I grew up in the area so I did all the minor touristy things that might not appeal to a wider audience.
One sister went to Ithaca College and the other to St. John Fisher so we were out in western NY quite a bit.
The minor things are often better than the well-known tourist attractions.
True dat.
I could wander around Watkins Glen or go camping on Keuka Lake all day. Sadly, a lot of that shit I’ve forgotten cuz I haven’t lived there in decades.
The walk up the actual glen is interesting (and not too difficult) too.
I briefly dated a girl who went to Cornell. Ithaca is scary as fuck. It looks like some frozen dystopian industrial wasteland in the Soviet Union or some shit.
#metoo
Fishing?
It’s terrible advice. What he should have told you is to get a boat and go explore the 1,000 islands area.
Too much Canada nearby.
FWIW, I have a very fond memory of going fishing there in my late teens. The scenery was fantastic.
This was before the border “issues”.
Oh, it’s a very nice area. It’s just the water has those aforementioned border issues.
Yasss! So beautiful up there.
Yoopers, though *shakes head*
not UP, west shore, MI
Life gets real above 46.786671 Latitude
No motorized cart?
No girls driving around a drinks cart?
No chance of accidentally hitting a house or a car?
Pfffttt. I’ll stick with real golf. ?
Nice photos.
Yes to all 3 depending on the course, it’s bigger than you may think,
and we call it hitting people with plastic,
Real golf? fuck you, just because we are all stoners doesnt mean we dont get as drunk as you, show some love,
? ?
Don’t spill the beer in your eye and you’ll be able to see better.
Technically beer is verboten in this keto household*. My Kindle doesn’t have the whisky emoji though. ?
*I have a small contingent of guest beer I should toss soon. It’s been in the fridge for a year now.
Get a real computer ?
He can’t, he spent all his money on ammo.
My computer doesn’t really fit on my lap. But the ammo thing sounds better.
So I mentioned Shiner Oktoberfest the other day, and I didn’t know if I like Märzen or not.
I don’t.
I mean, it’s good. But I like other styles much more.
The Shiner is a pretty meh example of the genre. Try a real German one before writing off the style.
sorry fucking gross,
“No motorized cart?
No girls driving around a drinks cart?

I think in the winter, they use a sled dog team and 3 disc rescue dogs in case the disc goes into a giant now drift hazard.
Green is good. Rich land.
“BLM Atlanta organizer busted using $200,000 in donations for personal expenses
The fact that Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta had its not-for-profit status revoked in 2019 did not stop the group from taking more than $430,000 in donations, or from activist Sir Maejor Page from using $200,000 for his personal expenses.
An affidavit filed in federal district court on Thursday, and an announcement from the FBI on Friday, shows that the charitable status for the group was revoked after it failed to file taxes for three straight years.
On the Facebook page that BLM of Greater Atlanta used for fundraising, reveals that Page, who was born Tyree Conyers-Page, said that all funds raised would be used to fight for justice for George Floyd. These expenses apparently include tailored suits for Page, as well as real estate buys, according to The Daily Caller.
The national arm of Black Lives Matter does not take responsibility for Page or his activities, as they have not brought his group in as an official chapter. Their reasoning was that they did not feel that Page would be able to successfully work with LGBT activists, according to WABE.
Alicia Garza, co-founder of BLM nationally, said in 2016 in addition to a seeming power grab from Page, she thought “there were [a] lot of concerns around whether or not this person could work in a respectful and principled manner with people who were gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender.” She said that one of BLM’s 13 guiding principles was to be “queer-affirming.””

It’s hard out there for a pimp.
A pimp’s graft is different from that of a square.
LOL yeah OK
Is it just me, or is that dude white?
Bone structure, facial features say black.
Skin tone says “high yellow”.
Love that the idiots who gave him money can’t deduct it.
To me, it says ‘albino’.
Dude(tte) is paler than I am.
“Affirm queers or we’ll burn down your business.”
What a queer request.
Buttker missed the extra point. Dafuq.
he is an ass,
?
Well, apparently Cathy Young is big on masks.
Funny how many Reason types turned out to be closet authoritarians.
Context
She seems nice.
Or, maybe she doesn’t seem nice enough.
She argues that because her mother is in a high-risk category, she shouldn’t have to risk her life to go out because you refuse to wear the mask.
That is some backwards thinking.
“Dad’s a recovering alcoholic, and it is insensitive and unfair that he has to watch others imbibe when we go out to dinner. So people shouldn’t be allowed to drink in restaurants.”
^this
It drives me nuts.
If you’re at risk, it’s your responsibility to take care of yourself. How hard is that??
It’s easier to use the State to bully other people.
And it’s farming out that responsibility to hundreds or thousands of strangers, all or very nearly all of whom are perfectly healthy, using a questionably effective method that’s rendered much less effective when you force people to pretend to give a damn about it. All because she dislikes people who flout the mandate. Some libertarian.
Yep. Even from a purely utilitarian standpoint, the masks probably put her Mom more at risk by giving her a false sense of security.
Man, you and all them facts are harshing her mellow. She just want to force others to do every last little bit they can to reduce her mom’s chances. Think about the children!
I’m sure she’ll get right on explaining why people shouldn’t be forced to wear masks year round for the same reason. It’s not like there’s only one bug out there that can kill people with compromised immune systems.
As I mentioned in my rant the other day, my Father was killed by the common cold.
Rant #2: 4 to 6 weeks for the death certificate? WTF?
I missed that rant. Condolences. Was this recent?
“her mother is in a high-risk category”
Same here. I don’t have a problem with “essential” places such as pharmacies and food markets requiring masks. However, bars, restaurants, churches, theaters, etc. don’t fit under that category.
This doesn’t mean that that government should make those requirements. For example, the supermarket has special hours for seniors voluntarily.
She escaped the Soviet Union, but sure likes her some of that Soviet-era totalitarianism
I unfollowed her long ago. Can’t remember why, but it was probably some similar anti-authoritarian bullshit
Ever hear her guest on a podcast? Her voice is nails on chalkboard horrible to listen to.
(errrr….authoritarian bullshit)
Suuuuure. 😉
Don’t remember her but good to see the publication is keeping with the new tradition of hiring non libertarians.
She’s the one who played both sides in every. single. article.
It was kind of a running joke for awhile.
to be sure
Marched right through that institution with little resistance, didn’t they?
She writes for the fucking Bulwark? So she’s absolutely committed to the freedom to vote for dems and every man’s liberty to be respectful to their betters.
Exceptions may apply to everything except otters.
I used to like her stuff.
No great loss.
I used to like her even when everyone was mocking her both sides take. Instead, I would agree with some of her points. I felt I had more in common with her since we both had grown up in the Soviet Union–instead of being extra critical of her for the same reason. But she’s been inexcusable for the last four years at least.
She will occasionally still come out with a good take, based on that experience I think, but – like a lot of lefties – never seems to connect her other policy desires to those undesirable outcomes. Only the directly obvious ones.
So it gets extra frustrating to me, because she ought to be able to connect the dots, but she never does.
Nice pictures!
Thank you, easy to do with all the material and a bit of patience,
Soon those greens will be whites, Yusef. Can you play whiffle disc golf? Has Bella ever seen real snow, like manly snow?
sir, youask the question,
Bella, never,but she has layers and snowboots for ice, and we’ll see,
I have reinforced my gear to Polar conditions, and fellow disc players say we ca play all year, maybe not every day but hey,
4×20, one more thing, Ice Sailing, I Sail, why not Ice?
Hamlin lake is probably near where you are. It’s a good size lake but probably freezes over most winters. Don’t know if they ice sail there but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it
I miss snow. We didn’t get any last year in NYC. OK, one day. Still… stupid global warming.
A post called Labyrinth? And it’s not about David Bowie’s cod and/or an underage Jennifer Connolly?
I was expecting a minotaur killing Athenians.
Sacrificing teenagers to appease an unspeakable evil… you know, I wouldn’t hate Greta’s shtick so much if that’s how we dealt with global warming.
You know that she’d be Johnny-on-the-spot to sign up for that lottery….until she realized she needed to stick around to lead the good fight. Uh-huh.
Where all all the new figures you bought and never finished? Huh? i need something to do this winter!
I’ve been pushing writing to the front of the queue.
maybe look into it next year if things setle,I siill have some ideas running through me brain,
the course in named Labrynth Doi Doi,
I expected a wooden board game with a ball bearing.
fun on a tablet!
The Media is hitting really hard on the taxes thing. I know being a libertarian makes me a weirdo, so maybe this is a soft spot for Trump, but to me it’s a big nothingburger.
Morning edition on NPR today was kind of a meh by my take so I figured they weren’t going to run with it. It really pissed off the idiots that didn’t know rich people can leverage assets, depreciation, losses. blah blah but the lack of enthusiasm on the morning story I heard I took it as it was not the normal “WE GOT HIM NOW” I have become so accustomed to hearing.
The walls are closing in like glaciers threatening Wyoming.
Their interview with “elder statesman” Al Sharpton was cringe-inducing.
You misspelled “elder grifter”
I must have gotten to work and shut the radio off by then. I missed that one.
I would love to learn how to reduce my tax load to only $750. That’s inspiring!
My taxes 0$
own nothing,
earn shit wages
Profit?
I doubt it’s hitting home. It’s just all they got out of years of screaming about his taxes, so they’re going with it.
Well someone committed a felony by leaking them, so they kind of need something out of it. I’m sure that incitement will come right after Comey, Strozk, half the FBI and Hunter Biden’s.
*indictment
If I leaked sensitive data at my job I’d be perp-walked out the door instead of fêted at cocktail parties.
I know I you northlanders may get really pissed at me about say this but I can’t wait to see exactly what this Northern land polar Upper Michigan whatever can bring this winter Bring it on I don’t care I have lived in the Rockies I want to see what this can do sorry,
I look forward to pictures of your snow fort.
dude! snow fort and party inside! must do! You have no idea how crazy I am,
I’m going to build a snow cave that you can actually get out of the wind and set up a little bonfire in front of it and drink beer haha
Just don’t be alarmed by all the salt on the roads in the winter. It’s normal here. If you stand real still you can hear your car rusting away.
I noticed the Cancer, I figure my KKK is old enough that its OK, and He’ll rest in pieces
Gunslinger where are you?
2 hours south of you in Holland.
That aint shit, Glib meet up!
I’d buy you a beer. It’s probably actually less than 2 hours. I pass through your area a couple times each summer heading to my in-laws cottage.
In the upper Midwest, your car is a dirty white in the winter, no matter what color it is.
I don’t believe the Rockies get “lake effect” snow.
I might suggest an investment in a snowblower. And chopper mitts.
I live on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, talk to Cadillac about lake effect snow, we get ice…..
You haven’t been there for Winter yet though.
you guys think because I’m a Lizard I can’t handle this? I laugh at your cold!
Mr Lizard was cocky like you, and now look what happened. He’s frozen in the Arctic unable to post.
Yeah, isn’t W MI like the worst lake effect in the country?
*brrrr*
I just know my SIL and her family in far western NYS get the greatest of plenty from Lake Erie.
It’s actually worse in central NY, esp. just east of Lake Ontario.
Lake effect can cause a good amount of snow. But if you lived in the Rockies it won’t be anything extraordinary to you.
My grandfather lived lakefront in Mequon WI. He said his two story house would be completely buried and he had to keep three weeks of food because sometimes he just couldn’t get out of the door.
Different kind of snow. It ain’t powder.
Nice Yusef!
thanks OBE, sad we missed out on the River stuff, I had to do a Saul Goodman retreat, lots of water if you want to play,
So another piece, this time about Trump 2016 campaign tactics dropped. Battlespace prep indeed.
https://www.channel4.com/news/revealed-trump-campaign-strategy-to-deter-millions-of-black-americans-from-voting-in-2016
Amazing this all comes out right before debate…like always of course.
Funny… I don’t recall it being Trump’s campaign who sued to get Kanye dropped from the ballot in order deter millions of black Americans from voting.
I don’t get this at all. Isn’t the left constantly bragging up how they have the black vote locked in? So, doesn’t it stand to reason that a great many blacks would be voting democrat and Trump would prefer they not vote. This should be written as a ” See Biden was right, you ain’t black if you don’t vote for him” piece.
Makes you wonder why the Trump Campaign hasn’t coordinated anything. They should have seen this shit coming on the eve of the debate.
Then again there was the Release about Bidens son, and the drop of the Flynn stuff… So maybe they have been doing that.
Wait…….so, this was about data on people they “hoped wouldn’t vote”? Not forced to stay home by a famous non-politician (then), or, any other kind of force used to make them NOT vote? Just, “We kinda hope that, if they aren’t gonna vote R, that they stay home”…?
This is news?
lol, theyve got her now!
they hate Christianity but can’t say it out loud. Every* denomination to the right of the UUs believes in the man being the head of the family. Why? Because it’s literally written in the Bible.
* I’m sure some of the liberal denominations would hem and haw these days
Ephesians 5:
Proverbs 31:
She makes sammichs and brings a cold beer without complaint.
I thought ya’ll was talking about some type of problem. I don’t see no problem.
Not over at the other site. Over there she sells her ass to pay someone to change the flat tire on the car. No sammiches involved
Don’t forget about selling her tail to pay scummy people people to dox kids who tell her to make a sammich.
Sammich or on your back, beeotch!
Ya, that one aint got traction.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. … Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Yeah, a lot of people who criticize the first part (and a lot of people who embrace it as well) forget about the second part, and how significant it is. Literally both halves of the command are telling each party to put the other first. Different roles, but the same obligations.
But, you see….we’re all “un-equal’, so we can’t be equal, unless G
odovernment makes us./progs
“north of the 44th”
*shivers*
I’m already adapted, and have all my layers in place lots of shoes, snow boots, and my ability to withstand any conditionGod can throw at me, bring it!
How long have you been there? I thought you were in AZ just a few months ago?
I was, but things went, sketchy, so I bailed, no reason not to, go see the USA, in your KIA KOREAN VAN
That’s why I asked. It will take a while to see if you’re willing to tolerate those winters. They are harsh and long. Some people are into it. It causes other people to move to Florida.
I want to name a character Broc, bit i’m worried that it sounds out of place, despite the age of the word.
can you spell it differently?
Well, there’s Brok and Brock.
Brok ?
Barrack
Ehud.
Brock Yates was bad ass. His articles were as manly as they got back then, which is way more manly than anything is now.
more likely — Brocc
Brocc?
old Irish
I rejected that one. I don’t like the way it looks.
Brock Landers
^^^
Also, Chest Rockwell.
Bwak bawk
And Broc will be the gayest character ever who’s never been first in his life?
No, it’s a hard C.
Irish for Badger.
Like in Brochure?
Yep, that dude is gay.
That isn’t a hard c.
You and yer damn furen languages. We ain’t into that pig latin round here.
Well…..I would think…..you know….maybe someone around here can help with that?
Maybe not? ?♂️
Slight variation.
Broccán
In that case, that dude is even more gay.
If his name is Brock Samson then you’re goid. Just ask slumbrew.
Yeah–ask his permission, first. He had the avatar up before this character was even named!
Yusef, how far up are you? I mean if you’re in the UP, we can call you Yusef the Yooper. That would be cool. Not every site has a Yusef the Yooper.
Central sorry, I love how everyone is telling how bad it will be, without realizing, I want to experience this, no kids, no wife, lets go take some awesome photos this Winter
I ain’t gonna lie to you, it’s fucking cold.
Hyp. I truly got that that’s part of the challenge I want to see just exactly what I can put myself through and have a good time doing it maybe
Stock up on long underwear and some really good socks, Pac boots, and so many layers of clothes you can’t move. If you want to go outside.
Seriously, negative 30 wind chills are not that rare. The part I hate is it being in the single digits or teens for weeks or months and not seeing the ground for months.
Not for me, man. But I hope you enjoy. Some people actually like that stuff. I’ve seem guys ice fish all day, out on the ice, with no shirt on. Damn polar bears.
MI can be great for fishing if you like that. And you have your disc golf. Watch out for the skeeter in the spring, they’ll eat you alive.
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
Yeah, but it’s just cold. It wore me down eventually, but there’s something about being all snugged up in a blizzard, out in the Arctic cold doing stuff . . . . You can make anything work.
In the end it wasn’t the cold, but how long the winters were, that got me.
Yeah, MI is a lot of wilderness and a LOT of snow. I loved that stuff when I was a kid.
The winters are long, it’s cold most of the year. That’s also what I dislike most about that region.
That place is to cold what Pheonix is to hot. I’ve been there in winter, it’s scary for a socal type.
I was in 124 this Summer, lets do 50 below this Winter, I really want to do this at least once before i die, even if it kills ,e,
I don’t think I’ve ever been in -50, I think we’ve gotten down to -42. But at that point, I think only difference is down to physics, too cold for the body to notice a difference.
Same for plus 105, after that, your dying,
111 in Vegas was more comfortable than -10 up here, and I’m a fat guy, just sayin.
The difference to me is that when it gets really cold, like -20 or below, it starts getting dangerous to get much exposure. But when it gets down into the teens and single digits in the day and – 5 or 10 at night, that shit is just bone chilling, it’s like it just soaks into you and you can’t get warm. And it can be like that for months. It’s not fit for humans, fuck that shit.
Prime hot tub weather
I’m a small Man, let’s see how I do,
Like I said, the right gear. Protect your feet. You’ll get used to having ice crystals in your hair, eyebrows, and any facial hair before long. Because in the winter months, you get that as soon as you walk outside.
The other thing about that cold the drives me nuts. Don’t touch anything metal with bare hards or it will shock the freaking daylights out of you, lol. That used to make me so mad, you can literally see sparks sometimes and hear a pop.
Will do, ouch!
I’m looking at Tuscon.
My wife’s was a little hesitant because the heat. But then she found out about the scorpions, damnit. And now I can’t move to AZ or FL either because of damn critters.
There should be a law that wife’s cannot read about critters on the internet. It should be right up there with get me a beer and a sammich.
Prescott Jerome/Cottonwood
^ This,
No snow, no 100+ and no scorpions. I am considering moving there myself. And I live in L.A.
We looked there. Have not been able to find one house we like there, yet. Many north of Tucson and good prices. But my wife would definitely like Prescott better because she wants four seasons. So do I, as long as none of them are cold.
For what it’s worth – I lived in a house built in the middle of the desert 20 minutes southeast of Tucson for 5 years. I know there are scorpions out there but I never saw one. Not in the house nor in the yard.
I’ve never seen a scorpion in New Mexico that wasn’t behind a plate of glass. Vinegaroons sometimes, but they’re harmless.
Ditto rattlesnakes, I only ever see bullsnakes.
I’ve been in Phoenix for the 122 day way back in the 80s and in Iowa for -32.
If you can find some shade, you can survive for a couple of days before dehydration kills you in the heat.
Exposed skin can freeze in minutes during a blizzard. Loss of fingers and toes in a couple of hours. Death before the sun comes up if you get stranded someplace.
And yet, I choose to live in Iowa.
I can work 3 miles away for 12 an hour, or 20 miles away for 14, out in the weather, guess where I’m working
Cornfed women?
The thing about Iowa. I lived near Burlington. I’ve lived a lot of places all over the country, but mostly before I was 18 years old. I also have a friend near Iowa City and was out there a few years ago.
Worst freaking thunderstorms I have ever seen in my life.
The loudest thunderstorms I have ever been in where camping with the Boy Scouts on the Mogollon Rim near Payson.
But this summer’s Derecho proves that loud isn’t the problem.
Ain’t lookin fer Wimmins, but there’s some Hephers around, oh yea
Just ask Leno!
Yeeeahhh… me, I can tolerate one of those far easier than the other. Long as I have a nice coat.
If you freeze to death, at least you just go to sleep.
If it get too cold, I’ll pawn some tools and move to Florida, what could go wrong?
Hurricanes, gators, Florida-man

I’ve decided that DrPepper, or its generic versions, may be the ultimate mixer for most, if not all, liquors.
So it’s a Dr. Pepper knockoff? I guess I could try that. I haven’t had it in decades. Yeah, I want to drop a few inches.
Man, it’s great. Just switching to diet saves hundreds of calories. The gas station by my work has a deal: two 24oz cans of cherry coke for 4$! It tastes soooooo good. But that’s 400 calories! The diet, you accept less tasty, but your waste gets smaller.

My friend had this. Much mirth.
I don’t like the police or Sheriff Grady Judd, but it is sad how his press conference is shocking.
Sad.
I was excited at first, to have people suddenly care about police violence. After day One, I knew it was making it worse, and I wanted cos to bust some heads and make all the looting and arson stop. Eventually, I saw the cops letting the evil fucks get away with it all and arresting people who were defending themselves, in some obvious pandering to the Antifa/Blm crowd, hoping they’d stop the violence. Now, I hate the rioters AND the cops. Fuck them all.

These signs are plastered all over the park. Don’t stand within 2m of others, wash your hands, wear a mask blah, blah, blah. A group of 10 old farts playing gateball across from me. None wearing a mask. 80% of people here not wearing a mask. When you’ve lost the Japanese…

I am just so disappoint in all of youse….
Not a one of you has called for ‘phrasing’. SMDH.
My humblest apologies for all their slacking, Yu. You definitely deserve better than that.
What exactly is the 5th hole and do I have one?
A nostril, maybe?
Could be some new trans surgery novelty, I guess.
I think the 5th hole is where you do the fifth element?
Ooooh–no bueno.
Yeah, but I think you know what it was…I’m drinking and trying to multi-task, I can’t be perfect all the time…
Well, I can recall most of the movie, easily. And, I can imagine lots of spots where a 5th hole joke could be made.
But, I’ll not intrude on an earned drunk, so….shine on, you crazy
bastarddiamond.Where do I apply? What a joyous thing to find a workplace devoid of (contra)virtue-signaling assholes.
Moar companies like this please.
But it’s #BLOCKCHAINCRYPTOCURRENCY shit, so probably a pyramid scheme.
Well, I’m not explicitly pro-Egypt. But, I could learn, I suppose.

On this episode of Strongly Worded Letters–
“OK, Pat–how about an “F”?”
First off, those Prince Valiant hair cuts…
Did this bullshit get posted yet today?
It’s supposedly some big story being run by Drudge on how the Trump campaign tried to deter black voters. That’s what they’re running with as there was some massive data dump. You can see the flimsy reasoning used in just the first few paragraphs and with the actual context provided, the bare minimum needed to print the story, hidden later. Basically Trump campaign had voters on social media divided into 8 groups of which one was labelled “deterrence.” These were voters who, for obvious reasons, the Trump campaign wanted to turn off from voting. You know, because elections are about getting your team to show up and the other team not to.
So this is implied as racist because the Trump campaign disproportionately labeled black voters in the deter category. The story provides statistics on this based on population in key states, but fails to note that black voters are Democratic voters at far higher rates than the general population. It’s actually surprising how *few* black voters are in this category given that they vote over 90% Democrat.
This is the sort of twisted logic being used:
Yes…telling black people that Hillary called black criminals “super predators” in the ’90’s (another example from the article) is voter suppression!
Also dumbest take on the Trump tax scandal: he paid more money to Story Daniels than he did in taxes. Per CNN. This running above a story about whether he should go to jail over his taxes based not on analysis of the actual law, but from a Watergate prosecutor.
He didn’t pay His Fair Share! And, if he did, that means he owes people money, which means he must owe Putin money!
Isn’t it pretty common for people whose wealth is largely in property or shares not to pay much, if any, tax?
Oh, no–that’s just talking points from Big Poverty.
/I think you’re correct
Or does he have large amounts of credits from previous year losses?
You mean, Putin Credits!?
Could be. But, we totes need an even more progressive tax system, since this version isn’t accomplishing what Dems want.
The week is young. Let’s wait to award dumbest take.
Hillary carries her own hot sauce, true fact Dogg, the Black vote was belong to her!
Guffaw! I’d forgotten about the hot sauce.
She probably thinks watermelon is racist too.
Saying she had a slice in her purse is about the only thing (beyond carrying some African fertility idol) I can think of that would have been more racialist pandering of her.
Meh, It’s a ‘quiet part loud’ kinda thing. sure everyone knows that the R’s don’t want blacks voting and the D’s don’t want rednecks voting but you don’t admit it.
1. No one admitted anything. It’s a leak of internal documents where they claim that blacks were disproportionately targeted as a percentage of the population. Which is a completely useless metric.
2. No one on the left gets labelled as racist for wanting to deter any class of voters.
There’s no actual story here. They got 5 TB’s of data leaked on the 2016 Trump campaign and this is the best they could come up with.
They’re holding all those e-mails from Putin for a January Surprise…
1. fair enough
2. That’s because they play the game. Do what ever they can to win, but always make sure that “democracy is the highest ideal” , “everyone should vote”, and “every vote counts” is the public face of your party.
what is an “actual” story is as useless an argument as which musicians are under/over rated.
This is bullshit because the left doesn’t pretend it’s the face of their party. They genuinely believe that if only they turn people out to vote that they’ll win because they believe polls and that the groups most likely not to vote go for them.
Well that’s what ‘public face” means, what ever you personally think the left genuinely believes, they can point to all their efforts to ‘get out the vote’ which they can honestly claim never says whom one should get out to vote for.
?
Is that accurate, Bro?
Ed Roland/John Lennon, FIGHT ME!
I would have wagered that your underrated musician would have been Butch Walker.
You sir, are on point! almost stalkerish. But, his value dropped after I bought his latest album, they are all really good songs, but the whole album is how liberals are awesome and enlightened and everyone else is a redneck. Been listening to him for more than 20 years, and he is great, but the new album soured me a bit, and also I only know who Butch Walker is because his band The Marvelous 3 opened for Collective Soul at a concert I went to.
You can judge for yourself. It certainly was off-putting when I paid money for the album.
Made it through a song and a half, the music is too poppy (I prefer his work with the black widows), The message bit doesn’t bug me, I read the synopsis in the description and , meh, standard coming of age, outsider, redemption story, par for the course, artists are going be a tad sentimental/overly dramatic. The father can’t just be a pain in the ass, he has to be a caricature of an abusive asshole father, it’s shorthand and lazy but I don’t think Butch is making a grand political gesture here.
I didn’t think it was anything overtly political until I listened to the whole album and every song was heavy handed claptrap.
If you’re actually interested, Butch did a side project called 1969 around the same time he worked with The Black Widows
The Edge called he wants his effects pedals back, I keed, this is a more like the BW I dig. But seriously U2 sucks.
+16 baskets of Deplorables and -whatever amount Romney said wouldn’t vote for him because they were on the Dole.
47%.
No, there aren’t that many mormons…
I would figure he had the ‘squishy Mormon’ vote locked down.
Southern Strategy II: Votercratic Bugaloo
On my night off, before I started on the Red Dog, I had some Polka King porter. The few of you who know know more of my back story will get why that is humorous.

At least I know you’re not the most dense man in the universe.
Yup–plenty of space between these particles.
Digby, I missed what happened to your arm because of my work hours, and I’m too lazy to switch over to e-mail to ask, so what happened?
I stood up, then fell. That neuropathy is a bitch, especially when coupled with a foot that fell asleep.
Damned osteoporosis!
I’m not there yet! If I fell on your wrist, it’d probably break, too.
I’ve fallen on my wrists a lot, only broke one when I crashed a 3 wheeler.
I….umm…you may require ‘help’.
Probably.
Look–if you’re wanting me to move in, you’ll need to come up with a better excuse than ‘I fall a lot’.
Besides–I’m the one who’s currently injured!
I didn’t think we were at the moving in stage, damn you’re needy.
I’m injured. And, don’t play coy.
Is your wife cool with being cucked? I mean, I guess that’s our only issue. (This is the point in the comedy script where we come up with an overly complicated plan to

I have to work tomorrow night, or tonight? when the debate happens, but hopefully I can grab some good sound bites to get The Hat and The Hair involved in the debate and give gropin Joe some characters to play off of.
I’m hoping for something magical. But, I’ll settle for glibs-level entertainment.

I haven’t watched a presidential debate in decades, I kind of want to watch this one because of all the hype (no relation) but then I remember Tyson vs. Spinks and whichever Duran vs. Leonard one was the most boring boxing match ever, and figure it’ll be over in 91 seconds or a snooze fest of epic proportions.
How much pandering, jingoism, and/or, In Gov We Trust can you stand? I don’t suppose you’re given to bouts of TV-induced rage, or, anything like it, but…well, we all have our limits.
Duran Vs Duran?
The Doctor so evil, they named him twice!

I’m trying to write this article about how Bowe Bergdahl fucked up my life, but I’m having trouble with how in depth I need to go into my own story to tell this story, but I am writing it.

You’re the motherfucker that got me all confused by mentioning SOCOM!
You got the wrong fella–I didn’t break into that ladies house!
Oh! Oh, right….well, I figured you needed to be cautious about what you could say regarding your time in Spec Ops., when talking about Berg-boi. ?

This seems dubious. At best.
Was “not firing without a clip” a safety feature in the weapon specs? If not, how could it be missing it? If it was, the case seems valid.
It’s more judicial activism. And it’s a bullshit ruling, imo.
The mechanism that disables without a magazine inserted is present in some models of firearms and not in others and is generally disliked by gun enthusiasts. The lawsuit seems to say that firearms that lack this feature have an inherent design flaw and implies that all should have it. If it wasn’t part of the design then the weapon performed as intended while if it did have this feature the manufacturer is in a bit of trouble.
The lawsuit seems to say that firearms that lack this feature have an inherent design flaw and implies that all should have it – based on what? You cannot just claim product X should have feature Y.
True, though I’ve never not bought a gun solely based on that feature being present.
Me neither and I could see how it could even be desirable among those who are armed but often have to make physical contact without shooting someone, for a cop for example (someone has a hand on your weapon, you’re losing the struggle, you can drop the mag and disable the weapon). I’d rather not have it because it’s another thing to go wrong but it’s not a deciding factor for me.
“[T]he Act is unconstitutional in its entirety,” Judge Deborah A. Kunselman wrote. “The only portions of the [act] that do not offend the Constitution are its findings and purposes … and a few definitions.”
Instead, she said, it was an act of “constitutional overreach” and a violation of the Tenth Amendment, which gives power, such as the tort reform intended by the act, to individual states.”
Let me be as clear as possible – fuck you, Kunselman.
I generally don’t take seriously accusations of ‘judicial activism’. It’s always seemed to be shorthand for ‘legal rulings that I don’t like’. This ruling though, is pernicious enough that I’m making an exception.

Local news. We still have trick or treating.
this Quakertown obsession round this parts is getting weird
Our township hasn’t announced yet, but several municipalities and a couple of other townships have announced their times – most on the 31st from 6 to 8 p.m.
…and good morning, Sean, Pie & Diggy (if you’re still around.)
Morning, GT, even though I went unlisted.
Morning, UCS. I was wondering – a little worried you might have overslept.
Only a little. But it’s a working from home day, so I cought up on some sleep.
‘sup
Just chillin’ with my morning coffee and the new cat on my lap.
Aww, he’s settling in nicely.
Good morning, Tulip. Yup, he’s a sweetie. The two cats still aren’t quite sure about each other, but they’ve gotten nose-to-nose without it coming to blows.
Neato! Just found out the big, old ragdoll is prediabetic last weekend. Two older cats with pre-existing conditions. Donald Trump is going to kill them!
Hope kitteh’s treatment, if any, doesn’t require administering pills.
Namesake is easy. Just crush it between two spoons and mix it into the spendy food that crazy cat ladies buy for their little snookums. The older boy likes that stuff so hopefully? Poor feller got his annual shave at the same time. Now he’s a 20-odd pound of shiver because the temps are dropping.
Mornin’ GT and the rest of ya US based Glibs.
Afternoon Pie.
And I guess mornin to the Canadians too…

Should have been “and/or”. They can’t all be gems.
Mornin’ Folx! (seems fitting what with CPRM and Diggy doing the Lambada all over the threads). How was/is your day?
meh…
Mornin’, Fes! Yesterday was OK – did my thing so my cow-workers & I can get paid on Friday. One gal in our building had to leave early because her kid’s daycare called her & said he’d been exposed to a kid who’d at least tested positive for the COVID Crud. (Don’t know if the positive kid was symptomatic.) Hope it doesn’t cause a ripple effect through our building.
Ugh. I’ve had a leaky nose for a couple of days after some Grandkids were over on the weekend but have been trying to hide my shame. I can’t afford to take two weeks off without pay.
“It’s allergies!”
“It’s a cold virus! Fuck off and Die in a fire!’
is a leaky nose even a symptom?
Not of Wuhan.
Common sense and SCIENCE are sorely lacking in these trying times. They’re sending their employees home for less and they have a strong Union which I lack. I’ll be out a few grand and have to work twice as hard for weeks upon my return. If anyone thinks they are sticking that probe up my nose they are sorely mistaken. I’m a nose-bleeder, always have been.
Also, our gubmint, in its infinite wisdom **snort** has made it “possible” for organizations to get tax credits if we give folks paid time off for reasons related to the COVID. But the IRS has made it impossible to “correctly” submit the documentation for same. My boss has been beating his head against the wall trying to apply for our credits, and the IRS keeps responding with incomprehensible “you didn’t do it right” letters.
All that bear-proofing confusion came to an end tonight. Nobody would cop to installing the lock without giving me a key so I grabbed the bolt-cutters and had at it. Fuck it. If they want garbage strewn about the parking lot they can hire someone else to clean it up. I warned them, I told them but two weeks worth of trash in the store room does not compute for this Custodian. Shit gets frustrating at the low end of the totem pole.

Damn, Sean. Our best stuff gets ignored when the morning links post. You could dive off my lower lip right now.
