I Got Nothin’

by | Jan 9, 2021 | Beer, Food & Drink | 322 comments

I guess we got that Earth-Shattering Kaboom I was asking about a few weeks ago.  They’re all afraid of this guy.  I don’t get it.

This is my review of Sun and Steel Sake Lager by Iron Maiden:

I will say, is there is evidence he is from my home state of Arizona.  Which means you could say an Arizona man stormed the capital and made a mockery of the federal government.

My spurs done Jingle Jangle all week

Take that Texas.

As previously mentioned in an article from three years ago…Bruce Dickinson is a bit of a polymath and markets his own beer under the umbrella of Iron Maiden.  This tastes almost exactly like Sapporo, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but can be a bit plain.  Its the perfect pair if you fancy Sake Bombs.  Sake Bombs that are totally metal. Sun and Steel Sake Lager by Iron Maiden:  3/5

    Unless you happen to like beer which tastes like beer.

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      I did the can art. I hope they come out with a ‘Two Minutes to Midnight Black Lager’

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Dig, not did.

      • Chafed

        I’m disappointed. I thought you would be my brush with celebrity.

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Nope. My talent at illustration ends at photoshopping the snow monster from the stop motion Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer into my daughter’s snowboarding selfies.

      I do like beer that tastes like beer. You people simply insist beer must be piss colored and and have multimillion dollar ad campaigns telling me I am sexy for drinking it.

      • CPRM

        I drink Red Dog and Hamm’s, who you talkin to about ad campaigns?

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Don’t forget Colt .45, Billie Dee Williams convinced me it was the best choice in malt liquor.

        Yes, 25 years ago one of those was still advertised on TV, I’m a slave to marketing.

        Spuds McKenzie apparel was verboten at my middle school after it had become a bit of a fad. Can’t have kids think that awful, overpriced, awful beer was cool.

        I know you’re my site bestie now that Diggus is out, but man, I weren’t even born then! But I do remember Bear Whiz Beer.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Ignore the production date. They were playing those and Mean Joe Green coke ads well into the mid 80’s. Not like today where an ad runs for a couple months and gone.

      • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

        I don’t need an ad campaign to tell me I’m sexy.

      • Seguin

        I need one to tell everyone else though.

      According to wikipedia, sake is beer.

      • Nephilium

        Ehhh… it’s closer to beer then wine, but IIRC, it uses fungus to break down the starches into sugars instead of enzymatic activity from malt.

      • commodious spittoon

        Fungal beer?? Christ, we were right to lock them gooks in camps during Vietnam.

  3. OBJ FRANKELSON

    I guess the only question left is, where are we going to put the gulags? Do we go the traditional Russian way and put them in North Dakota & Minnesota or do we go the French route ala Guyana Prison Colonies and put them in the Everglades?

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Both?

      • But Enough About [this space intentionally left blank]

        ^^THIS.

        Yusef nails it. You need to minimize on “shipping” costs, depending on where you first detain the Deplorable. Since those fuckers are everywhere, you need gulags in all 50 states of the (dis-)Union.

        Alternatively, if the costs of establishing a particular gulag are onerous, alternative methods of disposal will be required for the Deplorable that’s been detained in an area where a gulag is not present. Bullets are cheap.

      • Suthenboy

        you haven’t shopped for bullets lately, have you?

      • But Enough About [this space intentionally left blank]

        Sure I have. As of a few minutes ago, P&D Enterprises here in Edmonton’s listing Federal American Eagle 9mm 115 Gr FMJ Blue Box 50 Rnds for $18.00 CDN. Blue box bulk on the same (500 rnds) is $162.00 CDN. That’s a dispatch cost per deplorable of approx. $0.33 CDN. Three fo’ dollah!

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        You need to add in an error margin, operators are not going always to dispatch at a 1:1 ratio.

      • But Enough About [this space intentionally left blank]

        Operators will be trained to work point-blank. Can’t have inefficiencies when dispatching a Deplorable. There’s too many of ’em!

      • AlexinCT

        They will take a page from Stalin’s book and send the bill for the bullet to the deplorable’s family.

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        So an Amazon method of Deplorable disposal? I think there might be a right-thinking guy just right for that job.

    • J. Frank Parnell

      What about Alaska?

    Frozen wastes, or Hellish desert; it won’t be hospitable or conducive to sustaining life or growing food.

      You are right, the Southwest wouldn’t be bad either.

        Tule Lake is not. My grandfather helped build that one. Yay. He almost got sent of to Germany at the end of the war for not signing off on bogus invoices for materials that were not delivered. The moral is, that we can get rich off the grift for building the new camps. Yusef, you’re in charge of the HVAC.

      • Gender Traitor

        The camps ain’t gonna have no HVAC and only “plumbing” for the “showers.”

      • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

        That’s the point. Order the HVAC. Charge for the HVAC. Don’t deliver the HVAC.

    Maybe next Dickinson should open a distillery and make Rum of the Ancient Mariner.

  10. hayeksplosives

    OFfS.

    The Browns head coach Stefanski tested positive for COVID and thus he cannot be at tomorrow’s game.

    He’s not even sick. But he tested positive.

    Sorry, Browns fans. Fauci must be a Steelers guy.

    • CPRM

      Heard that as well. I think the same was the case in once of the NCAA bowl games last week. I mean, it’s not like there is a kind of technology that could allow a coach to watch the game and communicate with the team over ‘magic air’, that could keep him socially distanced.

      • hayeksplosives

        It’s weaksauce “science” for sure. He already has to stay away from the team, so he can’t be with them in the crucial preparation day.

        The words were “He cannot be at the game” because of the positive test.

        So much for the masking and social distancing. But at least he won’t be spreading the disease to some of the healthiest young men in the world.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Not being on the field might put him at a disadvantage in terms of situational awareness, but yes they can certainly set something up upstairs.

      • hayeksplosives

        He isn’t allowed at the facility. Period. He can’t even be at the Browns facility today. He is probably on Zoom, but at game time, the guy at the sidelines will have to be the acting head coach.

      • CPRM

        There have been a lot of OCs that called the game from a booth. Not saying they were good OCs, but saying there is no possible way he could call the game while following all the stupid rules is disingenuous, and shows all this is lip service, and no one is buying the cock and ball story.

    • Nephilium

      He tested positive earlier this week. We also had a couple other players test positive (two of them came back with enough negative tests that they’re playing tomorrow). The Browns were able to have one in person practice this week due to the facility being shut down.

      Ju-Ju is asshoe. Myles Garret is ready to break heads, and the NFL ignores the Stillers breaking the COVID rules.

      • rhywun

        I’m undecided if this season rates an (*) – probably?

      • Mojeaux

        Nah, man. I think Chiefs v Packers is pretty set, but the Packers won’t win.

      • CPRM

        In that case, the asterik is needed then.

      • Nephilium

        Sure. Try to take our playoff game away!

        Fucksake, back in the day football players smashed beer cans on their head, now they are arguing about people being around each other. I hate the fucking world.

      Couldn’t they set up an isolation booth upstairs for him?

      • hayeksplosives

        That’s what I thought! But he can’t be “at the facility”

    • Jerms

      You better hope that game doesnt come down to a late Brown FG attempt. Your kicker looks terrified when he comes out for any type of kick. In a pressure situation hes gonna shit the bed.

      • hayeksplosives

        Could be worse. Could be a Norwood kind of kicker…

    • Rebel Scum

      Can’t he just be placed in a room by himself where he can observe and call plays?

      Good gawd those women are awful. I didn’t realize the View had been polluting the airwaves for so long.
      Hilarious that Barbara Walters opens with a political question (regarding the 2000 presidential election and Florida recount), and then she immediately regrets it because Norm takes shots at Clinton.

      Barbara scolds him, tells him he’s “not allowed” to make those accusations there, and adds “You’re supposed to be Funny!”

      Oh the double standards.

      All those people with the perfect opportunity to wear masks and not be challenged and not a single one was wearing one. Probably wouldn’t save them but they’re not the smartest bunch I’m afraid.

    • l0b0t

      Maybe she brought it in from home. It was her dad’s; he used it to harangue the citizens of Baltimore, so it has great sentimental value to her (and ju-ju for the arcane ceremonies).

    What the fucking fuck? Did she buy it?

    She crafted it herself, out of the finest materials. It’s not merely a sacred artifact of the Great Cathedral of Democracy, it is High Art on its own merits. It’s priceless.

    • Mad Scientist

      Yes, but the finest materials and the tools came from someone else. Therefore, she didn’t build that.

        I’m taking airbourne and I am around 30. So it is not really a worry. The worry is that my employer might force me to stay home and not let me work even though I only have a mild cold symptom.

    • Mojeaux

      I’m coughing up a storm. That COULD be because one of my husband’s work friends dropped off a shit-ton of cross stitch stash … that stinks to high heaven. Cigarette smoke and mildew. OMG.

      I had Mr. Mojeaux tell her I was delighted to have new stash.

        Twatter is just mad they do not moderate political speech. My understanding is the alt platforms still police for things like threats and anything otherwise illegal.

      • limey

        In reality they do, but having spoken to my family I was made aware that the BBC/Channel 4/Guardian line on this was that they are a hotbed of white supremacist terrorism and threats and that Twitter and Facebook are good because they don’t tolerate that. Apparently it’s not about politics at all, and Gab and Parler are safe havens for fascist threats. That really is what they wholeheartedly believe.

      • Toxteth O'Grady

        What do they make of left-wing threats on SM? or did you get that far in the conversation?

      • limey

        I didn’t offer any response to that. Anything I say is taken to be some kind of provocative extremist crazy talk, and they usually get upset and try and shut me down. I’d much rather have a semi-decent relationship with my family.

      Well, some of them are brain damaged.

    • mrfamous

      Everyone forgets the nine year old girl who was killed in that attack (by a guy who wanted to become an adverb) so they can focus on Giffords.

      It, of course, did not resemble the capitol protest in virtually any way at all. Hell it likely wasn’t even politically motivated (in the sense that it didn’t seem to be rationally motivated at all).

      • Ownbestenemy

        Romney + cross-hairs political ads + Tea Party.

        It is all connected. And they say conspiracy theories are only for the crazies.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    It’s senile frauds, all the way down

    Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease specialist, has suggested that Americans could wear masks for “at least” 100 days after Joe Biden is inaugurated as president.

    The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases made the comments in response to a question about what the Biden administration can do in its first days in order to tackle the spread of the novel coronavirus.

    ——-

    In December, president-elect Joe Biden said be planned to issue a standing order requiring Americans to wear masks in federal buildings and on interstate transportation for the first 100 days of his administration.

    “On the first day I’m inaugurated, I’m going to ask the public for 100 days to mask. Just 100 days to mask—not forever, just 100 days. And I think we’ll see a significant reduction [of new cases],” Biden told CNN.

    Fauci also told NPR that we could also see greater interaction and “cooperation” between the federal government and the states in the early stages of the Biden presidency instead of allowing them to “do their own thing” in some respects.

    It could work.

    It hasn’t yet, but what the hey, we’ll look like we’re doing something, and that’s good enough for government work!

    • Ted S.

      Just 100 days

      Two weeks to flatten the curve….

    • R C Dean

      They will take credit for the natural backside of the bell curve and the vaccine they had nothing to do with.

      • Not an Economist

        You mean the vaccine they said couldn’t be done in the amount of time Trump promised and wouldn’t take because they didn’t trust the FDA to test it properly?

        But otherwise yep.

      • R C Dean

        Already memoryholed, comrade.

    • Ownbestenemy

      It will work because it will fit the First 100 Days bullshit we have grown to all love with any new president. I expect ‘anti-maskers’ will be lumped into groups as anti-government. Its gonna get ugly out there, so I will just play with my dogs and enjoy my life.

    • Rebel Scum

      instead of allowing them to “do their own thing” in some respects.

      What is “federalism”?

    • mrfamous

      20 years. That’s my over/under on the mask mandates.

      We’ve been in some stage of lockdown and under heavy mask mandates all year. We now have the absolute worse numbers in the nation. Neither has worked one little bit. If cases go down, it’ll be a fabrication just like the rest of this bullshit. Amazing how Covid has enabled the left to overtake all obstacles and enact most of their wishes. Coupled with the obvious lies being thrown around about the ‘vid, it’s hard not to start constructing a tin foil hat.

    I am sad I missed the punk rock talk last night. Tundra and egould puttin out some good tunes, but sorry, never was a fan of the Descendents but Epitaph records was the go to place. Reminds of a little old record store we had downtown Covina where I would go and get all my punk rock music from.

    • Lord Humungus

      The first punk rock show I went to, at the tender age of 16, was Dag Nasty opening for the Descendents. Good times – minus the skinheads running into my then mullet-haired self. Oh and I lost a shoe in the slam pit; ended up bouncing around on one foot looking for it.

    • Tundra

    The process is the punishment:

    https://www.kcrg.com/2021/01/09/des-moines-man-seen-in-capitol-riots-arrested/

    DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) – A man who was seen inside the U.S. Capitol during the pro-Trump riots on Wednesday has been arrested in Des Moines.

    According to television station KCCI, Doug Jensen, 41, is being held at the Polk County Jail, as of Saturday morning. He was being sought by federal investigators after appearing in photos taken by the Associated Press inside the Capitol building.

    According to Federal Bureau of Investigation officials, Jensen was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disrupting the orderly conduct of government business, violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, and obstructing a law enforcement officer during a civil disorder.

      Unprecedented,

  22. blackjack

    I’ve been trying to stay out of all of this, but they keep pulling me back in. Yesterday, in our morning meeting, my supervisor spits out, ” Can you just imagine if BLM would have stormed the capitol? They would have shot them all dead on sight!”

    I told him that they did drastically worse all year and barely got looked at by cops. None of them got shot to death, except by Rittenhouse and only after they physically attacked him. What he asserted is 180 opposite of the truth.

    Him and the other brain dead lefty just ranted back and forth for another few minutes and moved on. I can’t be asked to stay silent in the face of such bullshit. They’re calling this ” unprecedented” yet there’s a half dozen far worse attacks on the capitol. There’s about 15 congress critters who’ve been outright killed while holding their seats. A lefty just opened fire on a congressional baseball game a few years ago. This is unprecedented by virtue of it’s mildness and lack of real malice, only. I’m fucking tired of watching people swallow all of these lies and vote away my rights based on it. I certainly hope somebody does something to dissuade them. Voting is no longer even viable. They will cheat twice as hard next time.

    Such brave

    Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has become the first Republican senator to call for President Trump to resign immediately, telling her local newspaper that she’s questioning whether the Grand Old Party is the place for her given its unrelenting support for Trump. “I want him to resign,” she told Anchorage Daily News. “I want him out. He has caused enough damage.” She cited Trump’s decision not to attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, his inability to control the coronavirus pandemic, and his incitement of violence that culminated in an extremist attack on the Capitol. If the GOP “has become nothing more than the party of Trump, I sincerely question whether this is the party for me,” said Murkowski. The Senate is split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans following two Democratic wins in Georgia.

    The sort of principled moral consistency heroic legends are made of. She’s a credit to her gender.

Now, it’s just mom and daughter; with as many FOH employees as were able working as delivery drivers. She’s expanded the delivery area and built an outdoor dining space but she seems at the end of her rope. I go there weekly and she has been subjecting me to increasingly desperate diatribes about the governor, mayor, Foochy, the evil CCP. I feel terrible. She doesn’t deserve this shit.

Proton is rather expensive for limited storage and only emails to/from other Proton accounts will be encrypted. Paying for additional email service from DreamHost should be sufficient for stopping reading of my emails.

    Web Browser: I thought about switching from Chrome to FireFox but Mozilla is now calling for deplatorming of all wrong thinkers. What do you all think about Opera as a browser? That’s the only non-tech lord browser supported by LastPass.

    Messaging: Deactivated WhatsApp and am going to try Signal.

  38. hayeksplosives

    I think it was around Sandy Hook times that I made the conscious decision NOT to read/watch any detailed reports until at least 48 hours after the initial event.

    The rush of the media to get information out before one’s competition took a heavy toll on the truth, so much so that it became exactly as useful as gossip. “It was a teenage boy with an assault rifle!” “He had 2 handguns.” “There was a long gun in his trunk,” “it was a shotgun. No, a rifle. No, the long gun belonged to the second shooter who ran into the woods.” “There was no second shooter.”

    It keeps me more sane that way, and I’d rather read a little later a well researched article or a well thought out editorial than knee jerk reactions all around.

    Same thing with the Capitol Mostly Peaceful Protests. There might have been some plants and saboteurs among them to make them look bad, and there might have been some national socialists there. But I’m not looking for a hot take; I want the truth.
