Cool links!
First!
WHOOOOOOOOO ! ! !
Okay, that was lame.I’m kinda drunk right now.
Plus, the Quebecois have finally found some spine, buried in their sock drawers, and have marched en masse to protest the lockdowns.
Fuck these ATPSAs (Authoritarian Technocratic Police State Assholes).
Okay, that was lame.I’m kinda drunk right now.
Nothing wrong with that.
Plus, the Quebecois have finally found some spine, buried in their sock drawers, and have marched en masse to protest the lockdowns.
Good.
Probably because the word “lockdown” isn’t sufficiently French.
Hey, whatever works.
Just cracked my first beer. I was supposed to head over to watch the game at someone else’s house but family obligations (on their side), necessitated a change in plans. So I’m now the one hosting. I’ve laid in two growlers from a local brewery as well as a mix pack of Bells.
Stupid curfew not letting us watch the game at bars.
Go Browns!
Go where? To Baltimore?
Right on through to Baltimore you got to love me now
Got to do me gently, well it’s Browns don’t fail me now

Stop your drinking, you are a bad person. We shouldn’t be drinking because fun. Fun is evil, showing your privilege.
I was told the penis is evil.
That’s why I’m glad I got one.
It’s transitive.
Does that mean it’s a vagina?
Look who missed his GlibFit shout out.
More like a “mime out”
As in; your linky no link
Your penis is evil.
I wouldn’t say evil. A dick maybe. But not evil.
*sensible chuckle*
Many of us Québécois have been protesting since the beginning of this BS. Many showed up at the protest in Ottawa on July 1st. There was also a convoy that went from Montreal to Quebec back in early fall, among other smaller protests in regions.
The people that went to the protest today were already protesting 6 months ago.
What is new is that you have regular, non-politicized people that will come out and tell you publicly (with a little nudge) that they think this doesn’t make any sense at all and that they are starting to figure out that they are being screwed.
The Québécois is a compliant breed I’ll admit, but it’s not for a lack of spine; it’s because we don’t like confrontation (on aime pas ça la chicane!). We’ll just go along with it, get it done and bitch a bit rather than make a fight out of it. Until you touch something we value a lot. The Québécois might not go to church much anymore but don’t touch his traditions. Cancelling Christmas was a big mistake.
The Québécois can also be very resentful. I hope we will live up to our province motto come next elections – Je me souviens – I remember – and will remember who stole 2020 from us.
“Exxxxxxcellent, Smithers!”
We wish you a Merry Titsmas, we wish you a Merry Titsmas, we wish you a Merry Titsmas and an Assy new year!

No face diapers. Good.
Short week = full week’s worth of work shoved into fewer days.
Most of you have stuff to say about all kinds of things.
I got nuthin.
Start a conversation about Star Trek.
Green chic…….would.
If she had sex with an Injun, would their kid be Asian?
Yes.
Sucess! I didnt fall through the ceiling while running the read surround sound speakers.
What made it easy is we have our insulation against the roof rafters rather than along the top side of the ceiling. So along with not havong to dig through the insulation I don’t compromise the house weather proofing and insulation.
Don’t worry, there’s always a chance to fall through running the HDMI cable.
Time to get out the DVD of the 1970s movie “Earthquake!” with Sensurround Sound®, really see if those babies work.
Mojeaux ecstatic….
Sorta. Our beloved RB got seriously hurt, so it’s more concerning than ecstasy at a win.
Gotta give everyone else I the league a chance.
I working the holidays, not for money, well for that, but so some of our younger techs with families can spend time with them at home.
Young wives hardest hit.
You are a saint, a God amongst men.
Pretty sure I’ll be alone on Xmas eve and NYE. This has its pluses and minuses.
#metoo… Holler if you want some surly company.
Alone at work, home, or here?
I meant work.
Home too, but I’m used to that.
No family? No friends?
Not close with the family. They all do their own thing since the ‘rents are gone.
Friends? Let’s see… my best friend double-crossed me a couple years ago so he’s out. Other local friends are mostly up their own assholes the last few years.
That sounds very sad. I’m sorry. Do you have any little rituals/traditions for yourself?
I watch Midnight Mass? Mostly for the music.
Coincidentally, the old TV show “Mass for Shut-Ins” came up on the Zoom call last evening.
I’m sure I’ll be here for both.
Watch out. TedS will link Boz Skaggs.
Don’t be so certain.
You’re the Kevorkian of DJs.
Well, Rhywun did comment about being alone, so I picked an appropriate song.
To encourage clinical depression?
Be grateful it wasn’t Gilbert O’Sullivan.
Or the comedic musical team Gilbert and Solomon. And if any of you know who they were, you would kick my ass at a trivia contest.
Hint: those were just their performing names, not the names you would know them by.
Don’t you dare malign the Lido Shuffle.
Or you’d miss the boat?
No. When I wanna hear some B.S., I go to this. It’s impossibly long, but it gets really good a ways in. Worth staying for it.
I’m willing to host a glib zoom. I’ll be alone for sure.
I may drop in. Have to work both evenings.
I may host more as I don’t have to work. If there’s demand.
Do it. My last day at work is Wed.
Ok, Wednesday and Thursday this week unless Neph wants to do it. I don’t want to step on his toes. So, unless I hear otherwise, I’ll host those two days.
No worries. I just started running them, I’m not your supervisor.
I may be available to drop in though.
I should be able to join.
You are a good man.
I was looking for more kite boarding and snow kiting videos and the evil U-tube led me to some movies. Free with adds of course. Is Lord of War a libertarian movie?
No, but it’s a great movie,
The opening few minutes is some great movie making.
yup
“Scenes from a Taiwanese “Stop The Steal” & “Fight For Trump” rally today. President Trump is the leader of a global populist movement fighting against socialism, communism, & a political elite which no longer represents “we the people”. China stands at Taiwan’s doorstep.”
https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1340223089750097920
Whatever Trumptard the office if the President elect is running things now.
Let’s say it was stolen. How exactly is anyone gonna stop it? Impotence signaling is kind of sad.
That the comedy of moving from a Blue state to a Red state; if the election system is rigged (which there’s pretty good reason to believe it is), there’s no escaping it. Unless of course one follows the great straffin-san’s example and books it out of the country.
Unless you are Texas and tell the feds to fuck off. Which in case, they won’t be able to do a damn thing about it.
“…and tell the feds to fuck off.”
Randy Weaver would like a word.
David Koresh and a bunch of other people would say something too if they had the chance.
Can’t get warm. Fuckers don’t use central heating. Even the restrooms are cold. Heated bidet is nice. *Rubs face against seat*
Kinky.
I remembering visiting a Norinco factory a number of years ago and being shocked at the complete lack of building heat, except in the conference room where we had our meeting, and even in there most of the heat was from the people and the endless thermoses of hot water for tea.
Norinco….even their name says Merry Christmas.
Tonight’s feature: Muppet Christmas Carol. Watch it every year, that and Christmas Vacation.
Those two plus It’s a Wonderful Life and White Christmas are our yearly standards.
The original “A Christmas Carol” with Alistair Sims, and none of that “colourized” shit, thank you very much.
[runs from room sobbing]
Bought the Blu-ray of Wonderful Life last year. My wife laughed after we watched it and said, “His life sucked. Everyone else had a wonderful life, but him.” Hmmm. Damn, she ‘s right.
White Christmas is our Christmas Eve standard though, along with Charlie Brown. There have been only a few really bad years we didn’t watch them.
I hate that movie.
Truly the most overrated film.
I never watched it until I got married. I find it gay and amusing.
Does this mean you hate me too? I feel sad. Why do you hate it? I hate it too. I hate shitty plot themes, and the lack of conversational reality. But then, I just watched Die Hard with my son for the first time too. Also shitty.
Other than it being fucking depressing, I saw a libertarian take-down of it that had Potter the only reasonable adult in the film.
I saw that, too. Someone must have linked it here last Christmas?
Doh! I misunderstood. You hate (Not a) Wonderful Life, not White Christmas.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie we can all love.
Don’t forget Die Hard 2. What it lacks in Alan Rickman, it makes up for with Dennis Franz and Senator Fred Thompson.
l0b0t, totally off topic. I’m sorry your kids are away, but glad you’re getting a break from ex. And, I just want to say that although I know you’re struggling, I think you’re handling the whole situation with a lot of grace. Far more than I would be capable of showing. So, hang in there.
What Tulip said.
Siskel and Ebert, two thumbs up.
(I’m referring to Tulip’s and Mo’s comments to l0b0t, although Chafed’s comment deserves some love too.)
Yikes, am I ever hammered. Took me about five minutes to type the above, including numerous corrections.
As long as I can watch the original animated Grinch – which I now have on Blu-Ray – I’m happy.
“His life sucked.”
He fucked Donna Reed several times. That’s a win in my book.
Facts.
I usually watch Christmas Vacation, Elf, Home Alone (It’s still good), Christmas in Connecticut, White Christmas, Holiday Inn (the sort-of original White Christmas), and A Christmas Story.
There really isn’t a good reason not to be a raging racist. Think about it.
#FUCKWHITEPEOPLE
That’s what the wife said.
Glad it worked out for you. ? ?
I make no excuses for being culturalist.
I do not find non-white men attractive in general. Is that racist?
Well, you are discriminating in the most literal sense.
I assume that because I’m not into men who think they’re women who think they’re furrykin, I’m something-phobic and therefore a bad person.
I do not find non-attractive men attractive.
I have found a few men of most ethnicities attractive.
Megadittoes. It helps that I don’t care for blonds.
I do not find blond hair unobjectionable.
I dunno. It usually comes with pasty unattractive skin and freckles. Ask me how I know.
I smell a bad experience in your past.
LOL not at all. More like “opposites attract”.
I don’t find any men attractive, so that’s fine with me.
Anyone use nVIDIA GeForce NOW? $4/month seems like a steal to end the need for a high end gaming machine.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/
I don’t think it supports Steam VR yet but something to watch out for.
Nope, but then I don’t do gaming.
Interesting. Steam is complete garbage on Mac because, well Apple keeps changing shit but also complete indifference. It was great for a few years. I was never a big gamer but at least fucking support the games you claim work.
Anything that might help break the Steam juggernaut (assuming this does any such thing) seems welcome.
Of course, streaming and cloud shit sucks so there’s that.
?♂️
It works with Steam, but this would end the difficulty with playing games on a Mac.
Basically you rent space on a gaming machine from nVIDIA to play your Steam games. The game is streamed to your monitor. So it turns a $300 low-end Acer into the equivalent of a $4,000 Alienware gaming pc… for $4/month. The major disadvantages seem to be a few publishers are not allowing nVIDIA to do this for their games and you need a fast internet connection without a monthly cap.
Well, I will keep an eye open for that. I mostly miss random old shit and other stuff that only works on Windows and would not interest anyone here, nothing AAA or time-intensive. 4 bucks a month is very reasonable. And I have a ton of Windows-only Steam games.
OK, now I see that it is a quite limited list of supported games.
I was expecting something like “I own it on Steam and therefore I can play it.”
Nope.
First year my immediate family won’t be together on Christmas. O brother, where art thou? In “Tier 4”, that’s where.
Dood sorry. I wonder why people don’t just say fuck off. I will be having dinner with my folks same as every year. (I have been tasked with smoking the prime rib) I shot my mouth off the other night on Zoom as another Glib was telling of their states authoritarian BS. “just move” I said. Not that simple. I get that. We have commitments. My parents live next door to me by their choice not mine. The last father and son talk I had with my Dad though, he said, “we need to talk about something” My reply, “If it isn’t about packing our stuff and moving to east Texas or Louisiana I don’t want to talk about it.” He then went on with the “when your mother and I are gone” talk…….blah blah blah. They will outlive me I am pretty sure. Pisses him off when I say that so I say it often.
Nah. You’re crotchety enough to live forever. ?
You haven’t met my parents. They are glib fit for being in their late 70’s and 80’s. They just aren’t very glib. Very conservative and can quote a bible verse for any situation that may arise. My Dad complimented my beard when we had lunch week before last. He has had one my whole life because he has a scar on his face from a car accident that should have killed him. He liked racing cars and had a youth slightly stupider than mine. He keeps his beard trimmed and calls it grey whiskers now.
Well, my brother is one of those folks who are genuinely worried about spreading the covid to my folks because they are high risk, so he’s decided to stay put. He had been quarantining himself ready to make the trip, and then his landlord had people come in to fix something and (shock and horror) they weren’t even wearing masks! Anyway then this “new highly infectious strain” plus “Tier 4” lockdown happened and I suppose he’s just going to skip it this year. I really do understand not wanting to risk spreading a respiratory illness to your own vulnerable parents, but if I think if it were me I’d have come, all things considered.
I am fully on board with if you feel sick don’t go see your elderly loved ones. If I feel sick, or have flu symptoms I will not have dinner with the folks. The whole I was around someone not wearing a mask deserves a righteous kick in the balls.
I just called and invited my sisters and BIL up to our place for Christmas. (It had been implied when they bailed on hosting us for Thanksgiving.) Oldest sister sounded hesitant to stay as long as they usually do, which is only a few hours – gift exchange and a casual meal. I assured her I get my temp taken at work every day, but she suggested I also get a pulse oximeter too. ***SIGH***
So maybe Christmas with my family will be a commando raid, and Tom T. and I will have more tortellini soup, “BBQ” meatballs, and toasted ravs for ourselves.
I’ll cop to going braless, but other than that…
Free the puppies!
she suggested I also get a pulse oximeter too
“I’ll gladly get it, but you’re gonna have to be the one who shoves it up your overtight ass”
@Neph, I’mma watch the Browns in your honor.
Hope you enjoyed the game!
My friend and I have even more respect for Mr. Chubb now. On the back of his helmet, we were finally able to get a good read, and it just says “Cleveland”.
l0b0t, how did your dinner turn out? I made a braised chicken thigh in white wine, lemon and garlic with garlic butter green beans and mashed potatoes. Limited ingredients, but it came out good.
I’m so full. The roast was perfect, I ate the 2 ribs and the the two outside slices while the rest remained rare enough to be sliced off and seared throughout the week. I finished the spinach (I’m a piggy for spinach) and didn’t want to bother with the Yorkshire pudding (I had to go buy wine) so I boiled some baby gold spuds in extremely salty water. I have a nice spotted dick for dessert, but I’m likely too full to tuck in to it tonight.
Did you make the spotted dick? (Impressed face)
Oh my goodness, no! The fine folk at Cadbury made it in a tin and sent it all the way from Blighty for me to chortle at while I eat.
Huzzah!
Sheesh, coaches, players, and even an announcer all out due to covid protocols.
It’s like the stubbed toe list or something. “Oh, he’s on the covid list.” “So we’ll see him next week, then.” “Yup.”
I don’t think any of them are even sick.
From what little I catch from the commentators, it’s always something like “violated protocol” so no, they are not sick. They went outside without a mask or something like that.
In baseball there were only a couple of guys who seemed to be really sick. Freddie Freeman early on was apparently quite ill, but he got better at then he came out and was one of the best players in the league. Eduardo Rodriguez wound up with myocarditis and missed the whole year.
There were also a lot of situations like Juan Soto (who is as close to a young player comp to Ted Williams in a long long time) where he’d take like five tests and test positive in 2 out of the 5 in seemingly random order. And was pissed, because he wasn’t the slightest bit sick and just wanted to play.
Please let this be real.

This evening’s plans: drinking wine and watching a cookie competition show, then using a bath bomb in the enormous Roman bath in the master bedroom. Calling it a ‘master’ bedroom just solidifies my suit lady status.

I must confess, watching that family of Kraut usurpers come unglued has been titillating; Harold Godwinson’s vengeful arm has a long reach.
That takes me back,
Deacendents of James V. Doesnt that make them Scottish? Scots-German anyway. Still not English.
Fun fact, I am actually, distantly, related to her, Wallis Simpson. If you look at her birth maiden name (hint; starts with a W) it’s the same as mine. I have one of those weird families where minor league historical people intersect.

Christmas movie with Kurt Russell as Santa. I’m in.
I am going to watch Lord of War and determine if it is libertarian.
Good flick.
Why isn’t Al Michaels calling tonight’s game?
He’s missed a few games this year.
One he missed last year for scoffing at Anthem BLM stuff.
This year I think it’s been COVID-19 logistics and exposure. Maybe the ol’ boy wanted this weekend off before he has to work next weekend.
Thanks. I suddenly like him a lot more.
How old is Michaels anyway? He was calling Reds games on the radio when I was a kid – the days of The Big Red Machine.
78. (Looked it up.)
I didn’t recall that he called the Miracle on Ice.

I’m surrounded by 1,400 of the least uptight people.
People are willingly sharing elevators here. Yeah masks are being worn. Loosely.
Staff is chill AF.
Some friends of mine and I met for drinks at a place in southern NH that shall go nameless.
At some point during the night, I noticed our waitress and the bartender took off their masks. I said to my friends, “We’ve entered the normal part of the night.”
My friends didn’t know what I was talking about. I pointed out the waitress and the bartender.
They said, “Oh.”
Unfortunately, I saw the bartender put a mask on when he went to serve some people at the far end of the bar. He took it off whenever he walked away from them which was nice to see.
Once the waitress removed her mask, she never put it back on, even when bringing us more beer and our checks.
The Jets can’t even tank correctly. Jags in line for Lawrence now.
Poor ol’ Jets.
Still, I hate to see a team ever lose on purpose or be completely apathetic.
The Indianapolis season of “Suck for [Andrew] Luck” was terrible and ludicrous. And they got their pick, but Luck’s time in Indy was lackluster.
Just play to win. Play for your own dignity and reputation.
The Indianapolis season of “Suck for [Andrew] Luck” was terrible and ludicrous.
I saw an interview Pat McAfee (colts punter at the time) did with Bill Polian (colts GM at the time) about that year. Evidently they were still big on the Peyton Manning train and were planning on at least another 2-3 years with him before he would retire (basically, the years he spent with the broncos). However, the team was legitimately that bad, and Jim Irsay (the owner) cleaned house at the end of the season, ultimately cutting Peyton.

I hate the American draft system in every sport. Give me übercapitalist Euro sports – where money talks.
Thanks for recommending Dredd. I wouldn’t call it cyberpunk, but it was great.
Tomorrow’s agenda includes sporting clays. ?
Also, we pick up the glass ornaments the gf helped fashion today.
Woo-hoo! May the clays be shattered and the glass ornaments stay intact.
Have fun!
Dammit. I was really looking forward to the sporting clays there in July. Stupid virus.
I’m off to work kids. Don’t tear the place apart.

Are you saying you’d let his ruling on the field stand?

Better than nothing. People need to just ignore the edicts and do what they want. Can’t slaughter all their tax cattle.
Just keep printing money, baby.
No end to the stimulus money needed to placate the locked-up masses. Government just prints more.
And the stubborn few businesses who managed to survive so far are now being forced to stay closed in the all-important post Black Friday sale. (It’s called “black” because the accounts are finally “in the black” and not in the red, as last 4-5 weeks are the profit meant to make the year worth it.
Not this time! No thanksgiving, no Christmas, no New Year’s Eve.
Once we are broken-spirited and confined to our quarters, we will crave stimulation and this will agree to having our skulls hooked up to the Matrix.

I have three thoughts about this. First, if the people at risk are vaccinated then what’s the reason for coercing everyone else to get it? Second, are we going to reach herd immunity by the time the vaccine is widely available? Third, I can’t stand the idea of RFK, Jr. being on my side.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bidens-surgeon-general-elect-says-vaccine-could-be-available-to-general-public-mid-summer-or-early-fall-2021
That is an absurd timeline anyway. Why can everyone who wishes not be vaccinated by Spring?
I’m not certain but I believe there isn’t enough production capacity.
Yeah, RFK Jr.’s take on all this is a bit from left field, but I’ll take what I can get.
I’m assuming Dr. Murthy was also part of the chorus of “experts” who called Trump a damned liar when he said a vaccine would be developed before the end of the year.
They even slow rolled it. it was ready to go by october.
Speaking of which, you think JFK remembers exactly where he was when he died?
Second to the last thing that went through his head at the time.
Surgeon-general elect? We finally had an election to fill that office? Because it’s nominee if not.
They really screwed up the headline.
Pure absurdity.
Maybe they think the extra word makes it extra official, the same way airhead reporters go on about semi-automatic weapons as being more scary because of the extra word “semi”.
If you can’t baffle them with bullshit, slap ‘em with syllables.

So line of the Sunday Night Football game that had me and my friend swearing at the screen, “If the Giants don’t make the playoffs, this will lead to a 9 year streak of New York not winning a championship.” In a game that has a team from CLEVELAND playing.
I heard it as “no major league team from New York”.
Your town won a major-league championship four years ago. ?
Cincinnati is sitting at 30.
Interesting, but I dont know what that org is or if they are just confirming my bias.

Anacreon, belatedly: Buddy and Sally on The Dick van Dyke Show. My family and I could have entire conversations in TDVDS quotes. Uhny uftz! Crummy buttons! Speaking of, Chad Stuart died! 🙁 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6paef7
Am busy even to lurk lately. My absence is nothing personal.
Sorry to read about the plights of Limey, L0b0t, and Rhywun.
uh, *too busy…
My brother’s kids got exposed to a vid positive person. Christmas just lost half it’s attendants for me.
Shit. Sorry, Lack. I can’t wait until someone at work gets the com-cooties and shuts the entire plant down. Probably sooner rather than later. I’ll be the asshole in the spacesuit spraying the place with magical electrostatic fairy dust. You do realize that this all a plot by Big Custodial to wring overtime wages from the masses, don’t you? The extra 8 bucks an hour might have crashed the economy but it was totally worth it!
Our just-erected Christmas tree seems to have survived the night unscathed by feline curiosity, so I hope that means it’s safe to festoon it with lots more lights.
“Erected” and “Festooned”. Add a little “Feline Curiosity” and we have a nice soup of “phrasing” going on right now! Mornin’ Red!
Mornin’, Fes! : )
Excellent phrasing, I must say. Mornin’ peeps!
Mornin’, TARDy!
Mornin’!
? Did you drug them or something?
Nope. We must just be lucky enough to keep getting bush dwellers.
Ha. Mine went from one to the other and back multiple times over the years.
Only remaining kitteh was a tree dweller until she got arthritis.
Mine is definitely a tree dweller

“The video has been viewed more than 8.3 million times and Mia has acknowledged the dirty deed on Instagram, writing: “Honestly, I’d rather be shamed for this than not wearing a mask.”
I hope you like hookworms honey.

(Am too squeamish to find the actual scene.)
My first reaction (well, OK, my SECOND reaction) was, “Who??”
Am I wrong in predicting she’ll become more famous for this than for anything else she’s ever done?
I don’t know, she did win the 2017 Tits of the Year DVDErotik Award so she must be well regarded in her industry.
That’s nearly 28 years ago in Porn Star years.
Yeah, I think she’s in her late 20s so she’s a bit past her sell by date as far as adult stuff goes. Now she’s going to have to either start directing or fatally OD to complete the porn star circle of life.
Meh. First “Muslim” porn star has it’s own cache. Downright disgusting, though. Must be past her sell-by date and is seeking a more niche market.
Hey F! You still wearing Milk-Bone underwear? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083399/quotes?item=qt0461614
Lost my phone for over a week, so am not au fait with general Glib well-being.
I’m fine, Milady. It’s an exhausting bit of the rollercoaster because we aren’t strapped in. Lots of hand-holds though, so things should be okay. I wonder if the folks at work are getting as tired of seeing my ugly mug as much as I am of theirs.
Day 16 today! Festus is growing tired of his Hero Status and would like to hang up the Cape in a dry-cleaning bag somewhere in the deepest depths of the closet. Maybe put it on for ceremonial occasions like Arbor Day.
But you radiate essentialness, so you’ve got that going for you. How many more days of indentured servitude do you have left?
At least until the New Year. I’m going to try to extend it through the winter but just 6 days a week because two days away lets the mess build up too much.
Gonna try on some 32″ waist jeans tomorrow that have been hiding in the drawer for about 3 years. Unplanned Glib-fit FTW!
That’s the spirit! Make that lemonade.
Also phrasing! 😉
Wow, impressive. Am getting unintentionally thinner here too. Silver lining?
You da man, Son! Without you I wouldn’t have a reason to get up early every morning.
(‘Cept Mrs Fourscore makes me start the fire so it will be warm by 9-10 when she brightens my day)
Actually it’s all the early performers, each and everyone, good not to be alone at 5 AM.
Thanks, Dad I never had! You’re right about the overnighters and the early risers. Alone at 5 AM can be a blessing or a curse. At this site it is always a blessing. Hope you have a great day, 420!

Oh FFS.
*loud prolonged raspberry*
Why does EVERYTHING have to be so fucking stupid this year?
Wait’ll next year.
I’m afraid to be thinking “it can’t be worse than this year” – but I have a pretty active imagination and can come up with some really worse scenarios. Fuuuuu……
Sisyphesian tasks for all?
I want my jersey added to the Lingerie Bowl Hall of Fame.
That’s how you do phrasing!
This is nice, I walked down to the beach and watched the sunrise, and now I’m drinking coffee on the balcony.
I overslept, and may be late to a meeting because my work desktop cot rebooted over the weekend.
That ain’t right! Shake your fists at the clouds for a moment and you’ll be as right as rain.
‘sup fam ?
Mornin’, homey. Time for me to hit the road.
Have I offended TPTB? Or are the squirrels messing with me? 3 posts not posted.
(Am too squeamish to find the actual scene.)
Does it by any chance feature “Divine”?
You are correct, sir!
John Waters is an “interesting” person.
What’s-her-face is not an “interesting” person.
Will England call out the Royal Navy to break the blockade?
*morose laughter*
Eraserhead was a documentary!
*To be honest, I was drunk, and it was a midnight show. The only thing I remember about is is the dressed chickens dancing on stage.
The part that stuck with me was when the baby got sick. https://youtu.be/dKhURjt9x5A

The panicdemic must be over. I just saw a drunk driving ad.
Pro or con?
I vote for.
