Sounds like gibberish to us.

Prepare to be amazed.

One for SP.

Not everyone can be Vincent Van Gogh.

Hopefully your Thanksgiving dinner didn’t include any of these.

 

Also, Open Post Anarchy!

    Anarchy you say?

    Hold the government!

    • blackjack

      Is the anarchy mandatory? I’m not sure I can comply with that.

      • Nephilium

        Try walking in the deli and pissing on the cheese!

      • Jarflax

        Reject nihilism, it leads to wasted cheese. Join me in aliquidism.

      • rhywun

        aliquidism

        I don’t like the sound of that.

      • Jarflax

        C’mon, surely you like something! Everyone likes something!

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Say “fuck” in front of your mom!

      • Mad Scientist

        Go to school naked!

  2. B.P.

    First….?

    • B.P.

      Dammit.

      • Nephilium

        It’s okay B.P.

        Need some leftovers?

      • B.P.

        *pathetic blubbering sounds*

        I’ve never had a first.

      • pistoffnick

        You always remember your first.

      • Jarflax

        Not if they got the dosage right on the roofie.

      • pistoffnick

        I still get a thrill when I stand next to a certain red pine on a certain peninsula.

        Mein, Gott, she had some nice titties. I have since learned that she had them reduced. No worries, that memory in sealed in my brain for life.

      • prolefeed

        Unless you’re a virgin, you’ve had a first.

    • commodious spittoon

      Has he been informed of the strict fuck off policy…?

  3. rhywun

    Ha I’ve had that lipsum site bookmarked for what feels like decades.

    • rhywun

      The gallery of regrettable food, too.

      • LemonGrenade

        I was a particular fan of his book, “Mommy Knows Worst.”

      • mikey

        Me too! Glad it’s still there – with even more good stuff.
        As a child of the ’50s almost every page looks like something out my family album.
        Hey, I used to have that nautical bedspread.
        Why, that’s our first slide projector!

      • rhywun

        I’m a child of the seventies but we all grew up with the same TV shows that you did so we sort of got the flavor of the times.

      • Toxteth O'Grady

        Gee, Beav, that’s real goofy.

        Just watched Beaver climb into the soup billboard the other day. Always thought Wally sounded like a clean Holden Caulfield.

  4. Urthona

    Just had Thanksgiving with about 30 relatives. Stuffed.

    • LJW

      Be careful the authorities might be watching.

      • Jarflax

        This Thanksgiving I am thankful for plentiful targets coming right to my front door.

      • Sean

        Hunting over bait.

      • Fourscore

        Ethically I won’t hunt over bait. Have to hang it up so I can hunt under the bait, seems more fair.

      • Urthona

        In my state it’s not against the rules but if it were of course we would still do it.

    • Chafed

      I’m thankful for 1, 20, and 21

  5. Translucent Chum

    Lots of love here today!

    https://youtu.be/ct-qa6SjRZo

    Recovering from the vid. Just an annoying cough for a few days. Daughter guy it too and can’t taste anything right now so her turkey review was mixed. Son asymptomatic so we’re blaming him for infecting us. Wife clearly has it but is in denial. We actually had a great day.

    Watching Dean Martin roasts on TV and laughing my ass off.

    • westernsloper

      *sends Chum, “I survived Covid and only got this lousy T-shirt” shirt.

    • Sensei

      I had a coworker catch it and had the same taste issue.

      Good news is he is back to normal although his father is hospitalized, but recovering well.

      • Old Man With Candy

        Hey, Sensei, guess what was waiting for me when I got home from work on Wednesday? An NAD M33.

      • Sensei

        Hopefully with more fully baked firmware!

        Be interested how you like it.

    • pistoffnick

      I am also on mandatory vacation with the Covid. I got it at work. Stayed home sick Thursday and Friday of last week. Felt just fine on Monday so I went in to work. Then my boss called and said he had the same symptoms and had just lost his sense of taste. Got tested Monday after work. Got the results Tuesday night.

      The mandatory masks and the disinfectant foggers and the protocols at work did NOTHING. Pure theater.

      I still have my sense of taste though!

      • pistoffnick

        The symptoms were so mild (stuffy nose, chest congestion, mild headache) that it was indistinguishable from the normal winter cold I usually get.

        We shut down the economy for this?

      • Q Continuum

        No, we used it as an excuse to shut down the economy to torpedo Trump’s reelection chances.

        And even with that the jackasses had to cheat to win.

      • Fourscore

        So, back to work on Monday? Glad you’re on the mend and living proof of what I’ve been saying for the last 6 months

      • pistoffnick

        No I’m on mandatory vacation until next Thursdee (14 days from first symptoms).

      • Ted S.

        I’ve always been tasteless.

  6. Jarflax

    Daughter guy

    This trans stuff is just getting silly

    • Translucent Chum

      Corona terror!

      • TARDis

  7. Yusef drives a Kia

    3 seedlings under the Daylight! 2 more coming up under the dome! Success!
    next is Bonsai trees!

    • SP

      I’m glad you had a nice Thanksgiving, Yusef.

  8. Sean

    I started Fallout 4 today. 4 hours later…damn, where did the day go?

    • Jarflax

      You can spend 4 hours just laying out your farm

    • TARDis

      Dork. Nerd. Dweeb. Geek.

      Recommended

    • Nephilium

      I wasn’t a fan of Fallout 4, Fallout 2 and New Vegas were my favorites.

      • LemonGrenade

        Fallout 3 is still my favorite and the only one I’ve personally played to completion. My husband and I have teamed up on the later games, but we haven’t gamed in a few years. We liked New Vegas, though.

      • Nephilium

        I thought I liked you LemonGrenade. I fully hated the ending to Fallout 3, and it made me want to rage delete the game. The full on “But though must!” ending still bugs me.

      • LemonGrenade

        I just liked arguing with my husband over whether or not I should nuke Megaton. He always wanted to, and I always insisted on playing the nancy hero. Once, I sat through an entire walkthrough where he was just as evil as he wanted to be and cringed the entire time. I did the same thing with Bioshock; never killed a little sister. Portal 2 was our favorite for coop play.

      • Nephilium

        I never killed a little sister in Bioshock. But I did allow the pickpocket kids in Fallout 2 to destroy themselves by emptying my pockets of everything other then an armed time bomb…

      • LemonGrenade

        I confess to not hitting the Fallout series until the 3rd appeared. Damn it, I should fire up the xbox again, the hubby and I used to game together a lot.

      • Nephilium

        I’m an old gamer. I admit this.

        The girlfriend and I like divergent gaming styles. Once she wanted to do a 4x game with me, even after I recommended against it.

        She complained that I destroyed her civilization with crap troops before she had a chance to build anything. I explained that’s the best way to deal with a civilization trying to go the tech route.

      • LemonGrenade

        Haha, yeah, I would never ever game in a situation against my husband. It’s either as a team or with me as a spectator. I’d rather not introduce that sort of conflict into the relationship. And playing against tends to be an invitation to strife.

      • Nephilium

        LemonGrande:

        There was a great e-mail conversation I had with WebDiplomacy when they saw two accounts log in from the same IP address. The site has rules about avoiding collusion, I had to explain that it was my girlfriend, and we played different maps, and that I did not think it would be healthy to play Diplomacy with her.

      • LemonGrenade

        I figured that personal rule out quickly, when we’d go one on one in Soul Blade or other fighting games. After that, I decided that gaming was a lot more fun long term when if I didn’t set myself up to literally fight with my husband. I bet once you explained why there were two different maps from the same IP they let it slide. I sure would have, just for the sake of spreading peace among mankind.

  9. westernsloper

    Sounds like gibberish to us.

    What in the holy fuck of fucks is that? Is that one of those random word generated pieces?

    • mikey

      Yeah. Theres a band name generator too.

    • rhywun

      That was my guess.

    • Grummun

      Sadly it was credible as the produce of contemporary academia.

    • Mad Scientist

      I love that the gibberish generator name checked James Joyce.

  10. Grummun

    Sounds like gibberish to us.

    Not Edgar Rice Burroughs, then.

    It’s true, Light affects mood, my grow room lights are A Bright Blue color, my living room is very cool blue, depressing,
    My grow room is so pleasant I may move the entire thing into my Living room, just for the Pleasant light, harvest just adds Warmth to the scene, can’t go wrong,
    /Tanning in Michigan Winter….

    • hoof_in_mouth

      I used to grow rice at MSU in these basement chambers that were basically the the equatorial tropics. We were warned in no uncertain terms about illegal species, but I hung out in them for hours in the winter.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I need a Ficus tree,

    • one true athena

      Can you change the bulbs in the fixtures? Even one would help. Our dining room overhead had “daylight” bulbs and it made the room look like the inside of an ice cave. Changing to yellower “soft light” helped a lot.

  12. Fourscore

    Hey, all of the cards were changed! I didn’t even have to whisper the secret card. I think you guys are the folks counting ballots in the toss-up states. Trump won, Trump won!

    Do not play cards with Democrats, Iron Law, and watch the Repubs closely too.

    • blackjack

      I can’t stop playing with loaded dice.

  13. TARDis

    Wanna hang out with you guys, but Mrs. T is in the basement watching Young Frankenstein with my MIL. It’s been awhile. As hard as they’ve worked today, I’ll be surprised if they make it to the end. Later.

      I was going to make espresso…

    • LemonGrenade

      Perhaps… some Ovaltine?

      • Ted S.

        I prefer Ellipsetine.

      • LemonGrenade

        I’m not sure what else to use when expressing a pause before the rest of the sentence. The comma is simply too short.

  14. grrizzly

    Turkey breast cutlets are pretty delicious. Today we had them with baked potatoes. We used to cook a turkey breast with stuffing and everything but it gets tiring eating nothing but turkey leftovers until Sunday for the two of us. In small quantities, turkey is totally fine.

    • LemonGrenade

      That’s why we never do turkey unless it’s for a big crowd. If it’s just the family, I’ll size down to a goose or a duck. I like the denser meat, anyway.

      • grrizzly

        Turkey per pound is very cheap. There’s so much supply. Once I looked at the goose prices and quickly decided to cook something else for Christmas.

      • LemonGrenade

        Eh, I’m doing it once a year. When we almost never eat out, I can splurge once or twice a year, and I really like a well dressed and roasted goose.

  15. Lachowsky

    Bonfire lit.

    Drunk as fuck.

    Turkey and shit eaten.

    Brothers drunk too.

    Successful Thanksgiving.

  16. Yusef drives a Kia

    Could someone consider shipping me a Ficus tree? Small is actually better ,but I could pay for the shipping etc.
    I really want one, I always had several in my homes,

  17. egould310

    Turkey, collard greens, sausage stuffing, cranberries.

    Sitting on the sofa, sipping red wine, watching the Godfather. Wife’s cleaning up the kitchen.

    She better make that whipped cream and bring me a piece of peach pie. With whipped cream.

    • LemonGrenade

      Mmmmm peach pie. I did blueberry this year, and now I’m wishing I’d done peach.

      • egould310

        There is no wrong pie choice. Blueberry pie is the best. Happy Thanksgiving!

      • LemonGrenade

        And to you! Hope your wife brought you that peach pie with whipped cream.

      • egould310

        Still waiting. Looks like the whipped cream operation is underway. Alas, The Godfather saga continues…

      • egould310

        Peach pie and whipped cream. Sonny just got whacked at the toll booth on the causeway. What an an asshole.

        Good pie, though.

      • LemonGrenade

        Pie makes me happy.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Mom’s friend made us a huckleberry-raspberry pie. My new favorite.

      • mikey

        Hmmm
        Need to try that.

      • LemonGrenade

        I don’t think I’ve ever even seen huckleberries in a grocery store. I suddenly find myself jealous.

      • mikey

        Just went searching. Huckleberry everything except huckleberry berries. Local roadside stand has huckleberry milkshakes in the summer – awsome.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I love huckleberry ice cream.

      • LemonGrenade

        Yeah, I’ve had loganberries, blackberries, boysenberries, raspberries, etc, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen huckleberries in their raw form for sale in a grocery store. I have a new thing to look out for and try when I find it.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        Never seen them here in MT other than roadside stands*. Or you can pick your own. The tiny berries grow on steep hillsides on the underside of of a very prickly bush.

        Oh, and bears like them, too.

        *When we showed up earlier this month one of the stands posted “$75 per gallon” Very late in the season, probably not many available.

      Ever since watching The Running Man I’ve wanted one of those.

  22. hayeksplosives

    I called my sister to wish the family happy thanksgiving. Turns out my mom hadn’t attended due to covid phobia being broadcast far and wide.

    So then we had a barely tolerable conversation about covid (she’s a pro masker) and I shifted to other topics.

    I have concluded that an entire generation has experienced Failure to Launch. Only farm kids and some military will ever be able to cope with hardship and be resilient in times of change.

    I wish I could still drink…

    • LemonGrenade

      It’s maddening when other family members buy totally into the madness. Half my family is in one camp, and half in the other. Happy Thanksgiving, hope you at least enjoyed a good meal, and I promise to stand in for you on the drinking.

      • hayeksplosives

        Cheers to that!

    Well them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong

    They are too damn skinny and way too long.

    • pistoffnick

      I dunno anything about that, but I got pulled over by the OK state police for doing 90 in a 55. I was actually up to 120 mph (about the max my motorcycle would do). There are hills in OK. He thought we was ferrying drugs from Mexico. He checked my buddy’s bag, but he didn’t check mine. We were not ferrying drugs, just seeing what our machines would do.

    • Chafed

      Why do I think there is more to this observation?

      • Lachowsky

        Because them faggots down in Norman hav a kinky streak

    You know you are too drunk when Lobot ends the zoom when you are the only other one there.

    I have ticked that box on the 2020 bingo card. Who else had too drunk to converse with other humans on their card?
