It is an ancient SEA SMITH,
And he rapeth one of three.
‘By thy long grey tentacles and fishy eye,
Now wherefore rape’st thou me?
.
The Bridegroom’s doors are opened wide,
And I am next of kin;
The guests are met, the feast is set:
May’st hear the merry din.’
.
SEA holds him with his suckered hand,
‘There was a ship,’ quoth SEA.
‘Hold off! unhand me, grey-tentacled loon!’
Eftsoons his hand dropt he.
.
SEA holds him with his glittering eye—
The Wedding-Guest stood still,
And listens like a three years’ child:
The SEA SMITH hath his will.
.
The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone:
He cannot choose but hear;
And thus spake on that ancient SEA,
The bright-eyed SMITH.
.
‘The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top.
.
The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he!
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea.
.
Higher and higher every day,
Till over the mast at noon—’
The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast,
For he heard the loud bassoon.
.
The bride hath paced into the hall,
Red as a rose is she;
Nodding their heads before her goes
The merry minstrelsy.
.
The Wedding-Guest he beat his breast,
Yet he cannot choose but hear;
And thus spake on that ancient SEA,
The bright-eyed SMITH.
.
And now the STORM-BLAST came, and he
Was tyrannous and strong:
He struck with his o’ertaking wings,
And chased us south along.
.
THEN SEA SMITH SHOOT BIRD,
SHIP HAVE BAD THINGS
SAILORS DIE
SEA SMITH SWIM OFF
.
~Fin~
Cool Story Brochetta
Bro can’t first one-handed, and there were tentacles and rape and he got distracted.
It is challenging clicking refresh.
Like Trump I live rent-free in the heads of my seconder enemies.
You’re schtick is tired but you do have a point. ;
Even I succumb to the temptation to to troll you on occasion. :p
That was very impressive, unless you just added Sea and Smith to an existing poem. Either way a great read. 8 tentacles way up.
“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”
I had a feeling, but I am not well educated in poetry. I just make up something and say “William Blake!”
YEAH!!
Nine tentacles up.
Now do STEVE SMITH in Xanadu with Kubla Khan
In Xanadu did Cryptid Khan a rapey pleasure dome erect…
*cranks up ELO*
Hey, don’t bring me down, dude.
An ode to Mussolini, or feminine hygiene products? The world will never know…
Not that ELO, THIS ELO.
* cranks up Frankie Goes to Hollywood *
Anyway, there’s another Xanadu song.
Nice. Thanks for that.

Hot damn, the first episode of the second season of The Boys is up.
w00t!!!
Sweet!
So I got my husband to watch season 1 so I can go on to season 2 with or without him.
He doesn’t like the weird shit I do, and this is by the same dudes who did Preacher and he didn’t like that show AT. ALL. (Humperdoo!)
Wish me luck!
Take that any way you want.
I bet he likes SOME of the weird shit you do.
Heh. ?
Damn, I had somehow forgotten how dark this show can be.
Just finished S1E2 with my husband, who dozed through about a third of it. He likes what he saw. LOL

MY PISTOL IS AT MOTHER’S HOUSE!!!!
Jesus, why did I get so defensive all the sudden?…
#living without a firearm, hoping to kill with blade in hand#
I’m not sure how to parse that.
For line 1, make an inappropriate and offensive joke about his mother or his relationship with his mother.
For line 2, a pun or joke about a defensive weapon or his lack thereof. (Sounds like you can’t be defensive because your gun is at your mother’s (I’m sure someone else can do better).
For line 3, I think it means he is okay with getting his hands dirty, or he keeps his kitchen knives sharp, or maybe he’s just a knifeman.
I was watching Lucky Gunner’s backpack gun and 9 Hole’s Dirt Squirrel videos. I’m jonesing for a suppressed shorty.
Oddly enough, I have no suppressors.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’, per The Atlantic.
He apparently doesn’t care for amputees, per sources, and also refused a visit to a cemetery fearing that rain would dishevel his hair.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest that he’d make a boneheaded remark like that, but
These sources, and others quoted in this article, spoke on condition of anonymity.
Yeah, nah.
Anonymous source reports that Jeffrey Goldberg rapes toddlers while wearing an SS uniform
Apparently it’s been confirmed by other anonymous sources, though. And some parts have been super duper confirmed!
I don’t think insulting someone that you have a personal dislike for can be considered a gaff.
“I’m telling you, the whole thing is true, but these two parts are the truest.”
Those ‘quotes’ sound like they were ripped straight from SugarFree, which tells me SF is a LEAKER!
Trump hates anyone who might vote for him, news at 11.
For even more fun, sing this poem to the tune of “The Wabash Cannonball.”
PA has vote security legislation in the works. I hope it gets through.
“But vote security is totes raaaaaaycisssssss!”
Iron Maiden did a song based on the Rime of the Ancient Mariner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7zk4as9kzA
They offered to do a song for Dune, but Frank Herbert refused.
***
“To Tame a Land” was meant to be entitled “Dune” after the novel, but after seeking permission from Frank Herbert’s agents, the band received a message which stated, “Frank Herbert doesn’t like rock bands, particularly heavy rock bands, and especially bands like Iron Maiden” and were forced to change the name.[6]
***
Oh, Frank, you dunce…
The film was irredeemable. IM on the soundtrack would have lessened the blow but, film Dune would still be film Dune.
It would have been great to have seen Jodorowsky pull it off.
That Article today declaring that the Dems openly plan to incite violence unless Biden wins in a landside… I don’t know what to say.
I think i need to take a break from here and politics. I don’t know if i will be gone long, but i’m getting extremely spread thin, and the constant perfidy of the left in destroying the peace in this country is getting to me.
You’ll be back. I tried to walk away but kept lurking and finally started commenting again.

Hi Rhywun, hope you’re feeling better
?
I’ve been intermittently trying to rest my outrage. It only gets worse. All the same new-ish stories and no sane voices to temper it. It’s gonna be dialed up to 11 for the near future, might as well discuss it with normal people. Normal? For me anyway.
I was at the doctor’s office this week, they had the TV on in the lobby. I very nearly asked them to shut it off. Or at least mute it.
Fuck OFF!, slavers.
See? Totally normal response, right there!
I have been busy as hell for 6 months with very little leisure time.
I still find time for you bunch.
Me too. It is cheaper than anti-depressants. I should probably chip in a quatloo or two.
Do we need a “politics-free” area within the site? Goodness knows we have plenty of politics-free posts, but it always seems to pop up in the comments even there. I hate to see people thinking they need to go away just because they can’t get away from the current craziness even here. (In addition to our fun kind of crazy.) Glibs and the YMCA swimming pool are my sanity-saving spaces.
I was in that place a couple weeks ago, but I got over it. Snarking on the stupid crap that happens every day helps my sanity.
Tune out for a while. You will feel noticeably better.
I need to do that, too. The thing pulling in the other direction is that we’ve lived back here in TX for all of 3 months, so y’all are my social circle at this point.
This place is an escape from social media for me where half my friends (and regrettably’ some family) have gone off the deep end of TDS, loudly and long.
Besides, man, The dems are inciting violence right fucking now. Not much of a threat, we’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing if you don’t let us win.
Do your thing. I’ve taken a couple trips recently and did little or no online stuff.
I came back ready to drop the gloves again!
In this time of uncertainty, it is good that the children get back to the routine of state sponsored indoctrination. One little boy, my own, ain’t quite buying it.

Millennial. I mean, like, how do you like talk to, like people your age? I mean without like trying to like kill them?
I talk to them like men, but I’m a steelworker from the south, so the millennial I talk to are a different breed from what you are used to.
I’m not used to any of them because I don’t talk to them. Keeps me out of jail, lol. The only millennial I talk to is my daughter and she’s 2 years younger than Trashy. And she’s not woke, I taught her better than that garbage a long time ago.

Local outfit used to make unsalted potato chips, and I loved them. I’d buy them at the farmers’ market on Saturday intending to save them for the Sunday afternoon NASCAR race, but I’d start craving them Sunday morning. I convinced myself they were extra thin & crispy home fries, so it was OK to eat them in the morning.
They stopped making the unsalted ones. I guess I was the only weirdo who liked them. : (
That IS weird. Gross.
Oh, no – they were thick for potato chips, and they had a wonderful potato-y flavor even without salt. Don’t know what they fried ’em in, but it was good.
I remember Lays and Doritos both had a “Natural” line years ago. They were soooo much better than their regular crap. Less greasy and salty.
Salt is Life, sistah.
I got out of the habit of routinely adding salt to food during my first marriage. The former Mr. (Rev.) GT believed it aggravated his tinnitus. Started using non-salt seasonings like Mrs. Dash. I figure I get enough salt in the prepared foods I eat to avoid getting a goiter.
I’m sorry that you married a gay.
I used to get mint and chip shakes at Baskin Robbins back the early nineties. Then, they started sucking sucking real bad out of nowhere. One day, as I tried again, I noticed they were using fat-free milk. I said “whoa! use the actual milk for mine, please” They told me that company policy was all fat-free milk from now on. In a fucking shake full of ice cream!?!? You gotta be kidding me. I never went back for another one. Now, I go to the mall and get the fancy Swedish brand. Fucking hippies ruin all food stuffs.
Jeezus…at least Starbucks gives you a choice (though their default is 2%)
LOL.
Turns out full fat is healthier!
Bye, hippies!
Nobody goes to Baskin Robbins for health food.

We just watched it a couple weeks ago. That movie is great.
One of his favorites before that was my iron giant. If you get a chance, watch that one. Its good.
This?
My son loved that one.
Yes. You are correct.
That cartoon is great.
That’s so cool. Mine is a junior in college!
From the Wikipedia article.
The film significantly under-performed at the box office, grossing $31.3 million worldwide against a production budget of $50 million,
Damn I had no idea the movie was a financial bust.
Anyway, that flick came out when I was 12, and I loved it then.
I ain’t your son, but I’m quite a bit older than a junior in college.
It is one of the few and rare perfect movies.
I love a movie that is built for one moment. In Iron Giant it is “Superman!”
In Babe, it is “That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.”
Princess Bride – “I want my father back, you son of a bitch!”
It takes great writing to bring about a denouement that is perfectly satisfying, emotionally, intellectually… sometimes even spiritually.
In princess bride, it’s…
My name is xxx, you killed my father, prepare to die.
As you wish.
That’s the great line… but the denouement is seconds later, when that line pays off.
Actually, that movie is entirely crafted of great lines.

I love that movie. I was a middle-aged guy the first time I saw it. I my kids had been out of the house a long time.
It’s a great example of the difference between a family movie and a kid’s movie.
Q: This is what my teacher did last year that I liked least
A: nothing
Smart kid. I fill out my school and work surveys the same way. Most adults still haven’t learned that lesson.
Yeah, last year my kid’s teacher did nothing also. He only started learning when we had to teach him at home. I liked it least that they did nothing.

There really isn’t any used to hear about the democrats tax plan. It’s always been the same. Tax everyone to death and then steal the pennies from their dead eyes. We get it. I don’t give a fuck about the details, the result is the same, I’ll never vote for a democrat, you can talk, or mumble if you’re Biden, until the very end of time, it won’t work.

So they want no support? What kind of strategy is that?
I like GayJay’s comment downthread there. Donald Trump spends too much money (agreed), and we have too many immigrants at the border in ramshackle camps at the border.
So what, GayJay? You going to put all of those immigrants in palaces? Who’s paying for that?
Well at least he can force the bakers to bake them a cake.
Like many things on Twitter, I have no fucking idea what anyone is talking about.
The LP (Blue Check verified for your pleasure) is mocking Rand Paul for getting mobbed outside the RNC convention.
See, that’ s why I can’t figure out what’s going on, because that’s too fucking stupid to accept it’s coming from an actual human being.
Guy has seen way more violence than these pussies have even watched on TV. He got shot at, had his ribs broken and then descended upon by an angry mob. Ya’ll oughta shut the fuck up and stop bitching about him. Nobody gets hunted down by the feds for yelling at someone. If they did, I’d be struggling to make bail, still!
I’m not sure how anyone can be libertarian and not appreciate the best senator, in my opinion as a libertarian, that we’ve ever had in my lifetime.
Because they’re about as libertarian as I am Inuit.
^Yeppers.
I’m glad I dropped the LP registration after the 2016 Weld debacle. Screw them. They’ve been around since the 19-fucking-70’s and how many people have they gotten into Congress again?
Yeah, me too, the JayGay Weld debacle and all that, it just ended for me. No more political parties.
Pull
upout. Pullupout.Speaking of Weld, he has predictably endorsed Joe Biden.
The “Republican Liberty Caucus” can help get guys like Massie and Rand Paul in office but they have to be branded R as part of the deal.
Following the Ron Paul plan. I said he was right before it was cool.
#metoo
My wife was all down on me for ditching the capital L party. I insisted that they went all authoritarian with the nazi cakes and endorsing Hildog. Eventually, she came around. Prolly see her in a red hat any day, lol.
The LP went all woke and shit. That’s exactly why I joined the party to start with, to fight leftist totalitarianism, not to adopt it!
Should give Dave Smith some good talking points for the next couple weeks.
Case in point:
Dave Smith
@ComicDaveSmith
The @LPNational gets on their knees and begs for the support of people who despise them. It’s pathetic. The @LPMisesCaucus
are the only real ones. Luckily we are taking over this bitch ass party.
“Sorry, that page doesn’t exist.” Memory holed. Is there a screencap?
They apparently have a *little* shame and deleted the tweet.
Eventually saw a screencap. Just flat out pandering to the lefties, who are going to hate them regardless.
Does the party hand out scorecards on voting records? I would find it hard to believe there’s another Senator who’d have a better LP scorecard than Paul.
“This tweet is not available.”
Musta been bad.
Sorry I missed it.

Goddamn – $1,850 to run a gas line for a new stove? WTF?
I clearly need another quote.
OK.
“Other people have more than they need,
I alone seem wanting.”
— Lao Tzu
Happy to pay for good work – that just seem steep to run a line from the basement right beneath me. Perhaps I just need to readjust my expectations.
Do it yourself. Thats all the advice I have.
Electricity, I’m game – plumbing? Especially gas? Not so much.
I’m with Lach on this. These things aren’t built by wizards. If some goofball can figure it out, so can you.
*has spark of idea for some fanfic in UCS’s
bobKord & Dug universe*There’s also the pesky inspection aspect – apparently I’m not even allowed to connect the stove myself, which is stupid.
Yeah, it’s ‘spensive. I got a quote to run a gas line for my grill that was $1500.
I’m just trying to figure out how much grilling that is. I have 2 of the propane tanks I keep all of the time. If one runs out, I get another. $20 each. So that’s 75 of those tanks. That’s going to last for many years.
I tried to convince the wife to get a couple of 200 lb propane tanks, because they’ll deliver fresh ones to us as a service. Needless to say that request was denied.
I used to have a 1000 gallon one, because that was my fuel, since I was too far out in the county to get natural gas. Shit is too expensive to use in bulk like that.
So you might be better off doing the line if you are really grilling a lot.
So, someone on here last night was saying something about Crusader Kings 3. I’m not a big strategy game fan, but I’m downloading because I got it for free.
I’m digging it. UCS has been discussing it and I can’t remember who else has. If you got it for free, woot!
Ugh, now I have to create a Paradox account? Meh, oh well.
Yeah, I thought since it’s free I will try it, but I’m not a strategy fan, so we’ll see.
I used to play the hell out of Heroes of Might and Magic. But the only strategy game I’ve gotten into at all since then is Civilization VI.
I have heard that the Paradox games are deep, so we’ll see if I have the patience…
CK3 is fun as hell. CK2 was my introduction to the grand strategy games by Paradox, and it was loads of fun when it came out. I didn’t enjoy it as much after more and more expansions came out. I founded the kingdom of Poland in my current CK3 game yesterday after starting out with a tiny chiefdom.
What song are you obsessed with right now?
I have 2:
The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
The Noise of Carpey
The former for the interesting bassline and #55. The latter for the sing-songey vocal interplay.
“The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead”
I’m very concerned about you. Do we need an intervention here?
It’s a catchy tune. And I think anti-statist in its tune, no? Plus #55.
*2nd tune = tone

many years ago, I went prison with a guy.
He is now an antifa supporter. I communicate with him regularly. I have about got him talked around to libertarianism.
I have him convinced that a communist society can’t exist without a authorities police state.
You’re doing good work. Now that you’ve got him talking, just get him to do the research. You have to have morals and principles to do good. Antifa are suffering from the same moral relativism and lack of principles that always leads to totalitarianism. It’s why anarchy is so attractive to them. But someone will fill that vacuum and it’s never a good thing.
Is that right?
I see us and our Antifa contemporaries as aligned in respect to our rejection of the modem liberal state, but vehemently opposed in what to replace it with. Where we would protect the inalienable rights of others, they would impose their own fascist agenda.
Wait, I totally misread your post. You’re right. Carry on.
I have to respect their opposition to the police state. I’m not sure we see eye to eye on that Klan-like vigilante murder mobs they want instead.
I am assured by the media that the mobs are all at-right white supremacists.
I don’t respect their opposition to the police state because they don’t want to get rid of it as much as they want to replace it with their own police state. They are all for a police state, just not this one. Eff that.
The lens/mount required to take decent pics through the telescope are on backorder, so I’m stuck with blurry, awful representations of what I did tonight. I think I can see Space Smith putting the O in Io.
Not bad. If I wasn’t so lazy right now, I’d post some of my son-in-laws pics. He has some amazing ones, so much that at first I couldn’t believe he took them. But he’s a geek and has great equipment and also he’s in the Southern Hemisphere. Not sure how much that helps.
the equipment and the software is everything. step 1 for me is get the dslr mounted to the scope and see if I can get some decent planetary photos. Then maybe point it at a nebula or globular cluster or something.
From there begins the slow March toward nicer and nicer equipment.
Regarding that Trump story earlier about the military cementary…..I don’t believe it one bit. Not because I don’t think Trump could have said something like that, but for the simple reason that it would have come out a long time ago were it true. Much as he is despised by the DC establishment and the press, you’re telling me they would have sat on this story for two years just in case Grandpa Joe needed a distraction from a bumbling disaster of a campaign stop?
I suspect, if there’s an actual ‘source’ at all, it’s that Vindman (note the events were supposedly from 2018 which makes it his era). And now, suddenly AP and WaPo conveniently have “confirmation” from a “DoD official” instantaneously – even though Sarah and a couple other people have already denied anything like it happened. And if it’s him, that’s why they can’t name the source, because he’s already been exposed as a crapweasel.
If it’s not him, I’ll wear my tinfoil hat with pride, but I have suspicions.
Didn’t they just have a bunch of injured soldiers in the front row at their convention?

From the comments:
“Will his name now appear on Drew Brees’ helmet?”
Probably, and Brees and his woketard colleagues can go fuck themselves, they’ll never get another dime from me.
To be fair to Breese, he probably doesn’t want one of his linemen to “accidentally” miss a block like what allegedly happened to Carr.
The “Michael Reinoehl Lied” just doesn’t have the same zing as the original.
It didn’t allegedly happen to Carr. I was sitting right here watching it.
Can they arrest Wheeler now? Fuck these assholes. I am not a fan of police in any way whatsoever, not in their currently unaccountable way. But if you are going to knowingly let a cold blooded murderer walk around and do nothing, what the fuck sort of society is that? Not one I want to live in.
They had to do this, (try to arrest him) there was no other choice. I said earlier here that I expect the feds to step in and it’s about time. Otherwise we are in an untenable situation as a nation.
Sayonara.
Hoo boy. Reprisal killings for sure.
Same guy in the VIce video from today, isn’t it? damn.
Well, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, but holy shit, antifa got their martyr.
They’re going to get a lot more to go along with that one if they don’t stop their idiocy.
Doesn’t that make three?
I wasn’t counting the ones RIttenhouse ventilated since that wasn’t by police.
I wonder if the is a martyr hierarchy based on what group your killer belongs to.
Heck, if it comes down to it I’d go out and get a MAGA hat to wear if that is any help to them.
(Insert Powers Boothe saying “Well…bye!”)
This could turn nasty in a hurry. People aren’t interested in facts. If some shit-stirrer claims the cops killed him to cover up systemic racism and conspiracy, it’s fanning the flames.
No, I don’t see it. This is a turning point. The media are not spinning their way out of this. We had a guy running abound pretending to be a celebrity bragging about killing a person in cold blood and the mayor of that city turned a blind eye and let him run loose even though he knew about it.
I’m hoping, I’m hoping this is their Waterloo. But no matter now they spin it, this is not a win for them.
From your lips to God’s ears.
The saddest part of it is, I blame the leftist media for that man’s death and for his victim’s death. There are people out there who are unstable and apparently he was one of them. So instead of trying to help him, he is used as a pawn and political weapon. I don’t think so.
The media needs to pay dearly for their destruction. Now I am just being hopeful, but what else do we have? Society will not last much longer like this. And I’ll ultimately blame the media. But only because it’s true.
Maybe the new standard in getting into journalism as a career is not a degree or a Dad on the board of directors.
Maybe instead it will be based on a portfolio of work for the prospective employer to browse. Like a model or photographer use now.
I need to know the races of everyone involved to form an opinion.
There is no end to these police shootings!! (paraphrased from the comments)
I’m sure Portland will be perfectly calm and without riots after this. Proud Boys are coming to town on the 26th. What could go wrong?
“What could go wrong?”
They could run out of ammo?
/jk – not jk
From Sean Davis:
“This NYT hagiography of a cold-blooded murderer is so obscene and divorced from reality that I’m surprised they didn’t refer to him as an Austere Protest Scholar.”
True LOL at that.
I can’t keep track of all the shit that’s going on. Who’s on first, what’s on second, ugh…

Still one of my favorites.
Part of is pleased that this asshole decided to go out in a blaze of glory. Would have liked him to stand trial though.

Daggummit.
That’s ok. Your link is more informative and easier to share.
Unfortunately it’s daily wire so libs will assumes it’s awful lies.
I kinda want to put it on FB with the “Well…bye” gif.
I’ve been largely politics-free on FB so as not to ruffle my leftie friends and acquaintances. But if we are entering a civil war, who gives a shit about their feelings?
Do your leftie friends and acquaintances put up political crap?
“Well… bye!” was the first thing that came to mind for me too.
Funny, (from the article) : Reinoehl’s sister, April Reinoehl, 36, told The Daily Mail that her brother has been estranged from the family for years after he allegedly stole medication from their mother and that he was “a jerk” who was “verbally cruel.”
Maybe it’s just my echo chamber but I would like to believe that really was a quote from his sister.
Thomas Massie put on his Facebook page “Marked safe from being set up by beauty salon.”
One commenter quipped “Pelosi is blaming it all on her roots…”
To which Congressman Massie replies “Did she show up in boots?”
LOL
I like that he often interacts with his FB followers in the comments.
I’d love to just have lunch with him. He seems like such a good dude.
I wanted to hug him after watching The Swamp (on HBO tomorrow), or at least send him a morally supportive postcard.
That’s some quality trolling.
I hope Tal Bachman (“She’s so high”, “Aeroplane”) saved his money and still gets royalties. Because he has outed himself as a Righty.
In this piece, he gives a brutal takedown (with lots of juicy links) of the US federal government in particular and of government in general. since around 1988.
The cultural divide he describes fits right in with the brazen murder in revenge for words or for who you plan to vote for.

It looks like from Andy Ngo’s twitter feed that a number of the rioters in Portland are now getting swooped up by the Feds and charged. Wonder if we will see a turning point soon in this?
They will try to pull a Pelosi “They set us up!”
I will be pleasantly surprised to discover Barr isn’t the useless tub of goo I had suspected if this turns out to be the case.
The autists at 4Chan make the cops’ job easy for them, and one Antifa becomes a good Antifa.
Sure, just another police-involved shooting in 2020, but I can’t say that I’ll shed any tears over this one.
That NYTimes article is some truly disgusting knob-slobbering.
I swear the term for a group of vassals is a hassle, because my hassle of vassals has been nothing but hassles.
It was bad enough when they’d waste time on external wars they couldn’t win, but now they’re doing stupid stuff like fighting each other and marrying into families we’re trying to fight against.
I gave distributed those duchies in a particular manner on purpose! Stop messing up my well-ordered realm!
I’m still decades out from being able to shut down these wars by fiat, and am going to have to betrothe some babies to each other to intervene and restore order.
Why I can’t just send in the troops to knock heads together and make these vassals play nice is beyond me. I have way more than they do. I tried diplomacy, and the guy I liked refused.
We’re supposed to be reconquering Spain, not squabbling over Tunisia.

Good morning glibbies.
Had stomach issues last night now I am trying 4 oat biscuits and a cup of tea see if I can hold it down…
What is the official Glib food to eat with stomach issues?
Real men drink their way through everything.
Saltines and Sprite.
Rice gruel.
Kefir. Yakult, if you can’t get it.
Retweet by Malice. Happy.
How many swallowers do you have now?
you picked up some weird fetishes in Nippon
Pay the Dane geld, never get rid or the Dane, I’m leaving Saturday Morning if i can get out, they want to kill me. for real, I’m headed by many Glibs, maybe we can meet,
Hitler’s in third, who’s on second, and I’m first?
I ended glib chat after 40 minutes idle time. See you tomorrow! Thanks for participating
I saw your message on it yesterday but didn’t see anything about it today. I would have jumped on.
The chat link is always in the afternoon links comments
Sorry, work was very stupid and I found myself too busy to hop back on.

I don’t remember cpr being taught like that. Or just stopping to have a conversation.
Somewhat graphic. Or perhaps stark is a better word. It’s the dead shooter.
“Lit that nigga up.“
Well said.
Sounds like he thought he was John Wick. Somebody should have schooled him that you have to train hard to shoot like that – and AFAIK the US Marshals do train.
The Fugitive Task Force guys absolutely do. I have a pretty bleak view of law enforcement training in general, but those cats know what they are about.
I have a buddy who did 20 years in the Marine Corps Infantry and from there went into Federal service as a Close Quarters Battle instructor – has been doing that for 20+ years. He could teach John Wick to shoot better.
Those are the breaks, I think we all knew how he was going to die one way or another.
Brushed the little guy off my paper and he flipped on his back but couldn’t right himself. I flipped him upright and he crawled back on my paper. Now he’s just sitting there eyeballing me.

It’s the Japan-PM Glib doldrums. Sounds like he’s as bored as I am.
Who was it that predicted antifa is (partially) made up of homeless bums?

Nice face shield, dork.
And the gloves! Do you know many germs are all over those giant fake checks???
Probably conditional for getting the payout. Pay me 100K and I’ll happily wear one for however long that took.
I like the prominent labeling, just in case you thought about using it to shield anything else.
That’s what made it particularly silly.
My 2021 planner is due to be delivered today so I can pretend 2020 is over.
I’m looking at this STAR check asking myself if $571 is enough money to deal with human interaction, or if I should learn how to deposit a check via ATM.
no idea what a STAR check but a quick google seems to indicate it has something to do with hating children.
It’s a property tax rebate from the new york state general fund that used to be part of the normal tax filings, but they turned it into actual mailed checks for propaganda purposes.
the state giving money to the rich. got it.
I think our ATMs no longer accept deposits, though we still have night depositories. We also have remote deposit capture, at least for business accounts, but I don’t know if we have it for mere mortals. I’ve never had occasion to try it.
You see, I don’t trust any of those methods. I’m the guy who goes in and hands the deposit to a teller and gets a receipt.
Now, see – if you go into the branch in person, you get to pull your mask down long enough for the security camera to get a good look at your face.
Where I am the bank is the only place that has a security guard outside making sure everyone is masked up.
I’m a fan of drive-throughs.
I deposited a 50k check at the ATM the other day. It was a little unnerving, but better than driving around with the check waiting for the bank to open.
Why does it give me a warm feeling inside thinking about seeing 2020 in the rear view mirror?
That’s just the fires.
And the perpetually illuminated bulbs in your house, Mr. Lightbulb Head.

what does a planner do exactly?
It’s a glorified name for a datebook/oversized pocket calendar that’s supposed to help you organize your life and achieve greatness.
Seems to be working so far I suppose. You would not be a glib otherwise
Well, you’ve got the escalating violence and fallout over the election to come. Instead of there just being a new Year Zero and a count up from there, the current year will just stretch on into an infinity of anguish.
Morning, GT 🙂
Morning (or is it just past noon where you are?) limey/JD. Now there’s a cheery thought to start the day!
Don’t any of you people sleep?
Why do you want to know?
Are you waiting to kill us in our sleep?
*sips more caffiene*
not at 14:19 I don’t. didnt sleep to well last night either. Stupid stomach.
Hope you feel better ASAP. Mojeaux’s advice of saltines (AKA soda crackers) and Sprite was spot on for upset tummies.
Thanks. I had some basic biscuits and some green tee and for now it worked.
Green tea is good for what ails you. I prefer the iced variety, but whatever works.
Ginger ale is less sweet (tasting).
A buddy told me a British SAS leftenant he was training with gave him a half a canteen cup of Scotch to drink when he had a stomach troubles. Cleared it right up.
In Romania they say a bit of vodka or tuica… Clearer liquids tend to be better fewer random components in them
I think I’m getting another virtual vacation day today. My boss came back Wednesday and Thursday after recuperating from his tonsillectomy, but found so many headaches and hassles it wore out his voice (and brain) and he decided to take today off. I think I’ll celebrate by…dealing with the rest of last month’s returned mail before all the August statements come bouncing back.
Face mask chains are the newest way to accessorize your masks.
Hey buddy, stop doing that.
Damn right! Stop normalizing masks! At least the Glibs masks make a political statement, not a “fashion statement.”
It’s a trap!
The chains are so you can’t take the thing off.

@NJ Glibs…any of you planning on going out for indoor dining today or this weekend?
Might give it a whirl, but I have a feeling that it will be tough to get seated given the restrictions (25% of capacity???). Hoping everybody will be down the shore. Will be dropping in on my sister tomorrow. There may or may not be quite a few people there 🙂
Worked another overnight, so its Breakfast Beers.
TALL CANS!

No offense to Yusef but I had a Kia Rio and that damn thing was a lemon. Electrical gremlins for the most part. Locked me out twice, once on the highway during a road trip wherein I Macgivered a loop from the metal strip on my windshield wiper blade and another time at the library when the custodian had an actual slim-jim. Ghost car.
Step out for a second with the engine running and the car would lock up like a clam. We actually gave the car away eventually to a mechanic acquaintance and he replaced the wire harnesses. His daughter drove that car for a few years after that. Electrical is not my strong suit.
