AFTER CREDITS SCENE
FADE IN
INT.-WHITE HOUSE FOYER-NIGHT
Military and Secret Service swarm the foyer placing the Proud Boys in handcuffs, kneeling them down and executing them. ICE T kneels with his hands behind his head.
ICE T I ain't with these Nazi fucks. Can't you see I'm Black!?
AGENT 1 Hey, aren't you Ice T? The actor?
ICE T Yeah, you know me.
AGENT 1 snarls his lips.
AGENT 1 And Rapper?
ICE T Yeah. I'm famous as shit.
AGENT 1 Cop Killer?
ICE T looks worried. Cop Killer begins to play.
ICE T Um, yeah...
AGENT 1 Smiles.
AGENT 1 Thin Blue Line motherfucker.
The agent executes Ice T.
FADE OUT
Doesn’t he play a cop on TV?
Yes. If you watched the link all the way through you’d have gotten to the part at 3:09.
I didn’t because I think Body Count sucks.
(Yes, it really does jump from 3 to 12)
I smell sequel.
I think it’s called an “interquel”.
Is this the part where he goes back and changes the first one to episode 4 and starts stitching a bunch of poorly designed creatures into the background? Will the ficus cum first this time?
“A New Horror”
Please don’t give them ideas.
Jar Jar lives agsin.
Up until part 3, it was being numbered like chapters, since it started as stories in the comments. Then after part 3 (which contained chapters 9 through 11, picked up with part 12 because I’d taken time off between and gotten confused. But it works out, because there is a time jump there, so I can go back and give the Lucas treatment if I want.
Military and Secret Service swarm the foyer placing the Proud Boys in handcuffs, kneeling them down and executing them.
Is this fiction or real?
We have Nazis here too, so ya’ll get me story from the last thread here too…
I have a story involving Nazi paraphernalia.
It’s a little long.
There was a weekly dance that the sober people would hold back when I was sober. This was late eighties. Anyway, this one girl showed up and hung out with some of the simpler type guys there. They pissed her off somehow and she vowed revenge. She claimed to hang out with the crips. So she went and told her crip friends that these goofballs were in the KKK. Eventually, the crips showed up at the dance and a brawl ensued. Some shots were fired and eventually they split.
The goofy fucks from the dance decided they would get back at herby…actually joining the KKK. This caused the crips to continue appearing at this dance and having more brawls and more shots fired. I think was three or four times this happened. It really pissed me off because I knew everyone there and people would bring their children to these things.
I began a campaign to ostracize the KKK assholes. I never said their actual names, but everyone knew who I meant. The tide turned very quickly on them and people just flatly didn’t like them anymore, partially because I would denounce their ideas from podiums at various meetings. This really pissed off the main guy. He was way bigger than me and way more violently inclined. He started harassing me. I got into numerous push and shove matches with him.
The battle between us culminated when, one morning I was getting some donuts before going to work. He rode by on his motorcycle and, seeing me, turned around to have another installment. I was in my ’67 Chevelle. He pulled up alongside and I rolled down the window. He immediately reached in and grabbed my long hair and started pulling me out of the car. I hit him a few times and then.. I saw him pull a gun out of his inside jacket pocket. I reached into my console for something to use as a weapon, but there was nothing. Then, I just mashed the throttle and ran the light.
The dude fell over, holding a handful of my hair. I just gave up and stopped going to that part of the valley after that.
Anyway, the number two dude in the KKK cabal was a seemingly OK kind of guy. I could at least talk to him and he kept telling me not to worry about the leader dude. One day, number two was selling illegal fireworks at a local 7-11. The fire dept. pulled up and blocked in his garish light blue IROC and he ran around the building to escape. He went all the way around the building and when he got back to his car he realized that there was exactly enough room for him to get it out of there. He jumped in and fired it up. Just then a fire marshall ran up and tried to take his keys out of the column. Number two then just mashed it and split. He dragged the fire marshall all the way across the parking lot, until he finally let go and tumbled free.
Then the dipshit drove directly home in his ultra conspicuous IROC. Someone followed him and gave up his addy. When the police arrived they found a semi-truck’s worth of fireworks and a trove of Nazi regalia alongside some Klan robes. Dude went to prison for about 5 years. Shortly later, number one got busted ferrying pot back east and he went to prison too. I still avoid that end of the valley, mostly. I have seen both of these assholes in later times and they seem humbled by the suffering they have brought upon themselves.
This was maybe ’87 or ’88.
Does the KKK even exist anymore?
A relative of mine was friends with some KKK members back in the 90s. I don’t think they were FBI plants.
Today? Probably most members are FBI plants.
Yes.
Only in the minds and wishes of the left.
The Klan still exists in rural areas ranging from Mississippi up into parts of Maryland. Not common and deep deep rural. I doubt they pose any threat and probably look at it more as a social club than anything else.
I doubt the FBI has infilitrated. Strangers aren’t welcome in those part so unless if the Feds had the foresight to plant members 3 or 4 generations back, they aren’t going to get anywhere.
There’s a saying in the areas I’m talking about that someone is still considered an outsider until everyone who remembers their arrival grows old and dies. It’s not much of an exaggeration.
Can’t a person be racist and not a member of the KKK?
(Grew up not wearing white after September)
The Ramones (RIP most of them) say yes.
https://youtu.be/ez4yjw5Y94s
To be fair, ferrying pot across the country shouldn’t have been illegal.
I’m glad I live a boring life in comparison to you.
There are times I wish I had lead a more interesting life. But there are more times I’m glad I grew up a dumb farm boy in the middle of nowhere.
I’m happy to live vicariously through your stories, blackjack.
Yeah, well my crusading days are mostly over. I live a blessedly calm life nowadays.
Nick, I’m still a naive lad from Podunkville. Took a pint just to be able to raise hell. Dullest spoon in the drawer. 4-H was wild enough for me.
My life might have ended up nearly as interesting as Blackjack’s had I not left the place I grew up and had most of the interesting characters from my past survived to see 30.
*Hands Blackjack a Dos Equis*
Okay, so this is more evidence to support my working hypothesis that blackjack is in fact, John McAfee. Is Joe Rogan pissed at you because you stole his midget Thai hookers?
Your stories are awesome. Write a memoir, dude.
I’ve considered it. I just lack confidence in my writing abilities. Plus, it’s real life so there’s not really a good flow or the components that make a good story. Its just a well populated set of crazy things that just kept happening to and around me.
Make it in essay format grouped by topic or period of your life.
Look into how Matthew McConaughey did it. Granted he had been journaling for most of his adult life, but the short version is that he found a way to isolate himself and bull through everything and put pen to paper.
Take a look at how Adam Carolla writes in his books – half the time its like he’s just narrating into a recorder. Getting it on paper is a starting point.
I remember reading this last year sometime. Always a good story from blackjack.
OT: This warms the cockles of my heart
The intra-party ramifications for lawmakers who’ve opposed Trump continue to reverberate as Sen. Mitt Romney was nearly booed off stage during a Republican convention speech in his home state of Utah on Saturday.
“You can boo all you like,” Romney, who voted to impeach Trump twice, told the more than 2,100 Republican delegates in attendance.
Romney is the mold from which all other tools are cast.
If the boos don’t work, maybe they should try a rolled up newspaper.
I’m shocked the State party invited him to speak. If you want a Senator the speak, invite the universally liked Mike Lee.
Why was there no Stan Lee cameo?
We could have Lou Reed stand in for him?
Too soon man!
There is an OMWC cameo, he’s like the Stan Lee of Glibs.
Teds’ must be stroking out
There’s no terrible music link so your hypothesis is confirmed.
In lieu of Ted. It’s especially terrible.
That is astonishingly awful. Well done.
Evenin’ Glibs.
I feel like I’ve been driving all day. But I’m in my living room, so that can’t be right…
Maybe it is, and you need to remove the car from the living room?
But then I’d have to replace the wall it’s plugging up.
Just put in a car shaped door.
There’s a scene in Take the Money and Run where Starkwell tries to kill his blackmailer by running her down with an Austin Mini in her living room.
I must be tired. I read that as “Take the Monkey and Run.”
It’s actually pretty funny.
Glad to hear you’re back home. It was great meeting you.
I was nice to meet everybody who shows up, and having a normal day.
It was a good day, and it’s good to hear you got back OK.
That’s got a David Byrne lyrical quality to it.

Nice. I’m not keen on the interior. All black would be just fine.
I kinda like the black/red interior. I don’t like the solid red interiors they put in some Corvettes.
It’s like a whore’s boudoir, isn’t it?
Oh, I wouldn’t know…

Hiya, kids.
Nicely done, CPRM.
A different vibe tonight.
I may have found an argument to convince the girlfriend to get an e-bike kit to convert the bike she’s got sitting in the garage.
Late GlibFit update: OK, oh-KAY! I finally got back on the treadmill a little while ago. Did half an hour at 3 MPH, stopped to pull clothes out of the dryer (and put a fan by the treadmill), and am back on to do another 15 minutes. Still Butts & Guts-ing on Tuesdays and swimming on Thursdays.
Typing while on a treadmill is hard.
Back on terra firma, and I will shortly undo whatever good I just did by eating one of last night’s grilled Italian sausages (but no bun…so… OK?)
You never did tell me who you thought might have dunnit in the email exchange we had going.
Oops! Sorry! I’ll get back to you on that. Just call me Mia Culpa.
My pick of the nominees is winging its way to you on a stream of electrons.
Got it. Thanks.
I don’t think sausage is going to do much harm.
#keto
Thanks! Just the sausage and some mustard. Not too many carbs there.
Then I had a bowl of cereal for dessert. But with skim milk.
“I don’t stop when I’m tired. I stop when I’m finished.”
I’m missing the treadmill and the exercise room. I do my physical therapy in a chair every day but it’s too easy to cop out and I don’t get the full efforts.
Some day soon, some day soon…
Keep on keeping on there Fourscore! Just keep getting a little progress periodically – doesn’t even have to be every day.
Until I got past 60 myself I never understood how big a difference it would be trying to maintain any level of exercise after that point in life. Up through my 40’s going out for my morning run was about as difficult as getting out of bed. Into my 50’s it started becoming a challenge. Now it’s like I have to push start a stalled pick-up truck just to get out the door – that level of mental exertion.
Getting oout of bed is the most difficuly part of the day.
Jaybus. I used to practically spring out of bed at 0530~0600 until a few years ago. That’s the biggest problem with my exercise schedule – or lack thereof. The fucking COVID lockdown put an oak stake through the heart of that practice. I am having the hardest time trying to just get that habit back in my life.
It’s like I either have no willpower anymore or it takes ten times as much of it to do anything. WTF happened to me?
Life, in the form of the pandemic, caught up with you. I’m 56 and have a similar problem. I’m just setting an alarm and biting the bullet. I’ll let coffee be my ally until I can get back on track.
Yeah, life in the form of a couple somewhat minor injuries sidetracked me in some ways. I felt like I was bouncing back OK but then, I dunno, it’s like it all slid off a cliff.
I’ve been taking three-mile walks most evenings after dinner. But that’s about all I can be arsed to do. I need to lose about ten pounds but it’s not happening.
@Ozy, I do not see you in my inbox…
Phrasing?
I thought we weren’t bothering anymore…
That’s what she said…
That’s why she’s my ex.
Funny you should say that….
Just sold my house in SC. Housing market is crazy. +29.5% in 20 months.
Also, I remember why I hadnt been to the Outer Banks in 22 years. You cant get there from anywhere.
Family had a free house on the Outer Banks and I looked at joining. Maine’s got nothing on “can’t get there from here”. Least worst was fly to Baltimore and drive for a bunch of hours.
Also, congrats.
Good news?!
Here in the suburbs of Cleveland, my house is coming up on over +50% (estimated) what I paid for it. And it’s not even a good school district.
Yay you!
Sounds good, robc, ready to buy again? Won’t the next one be up the same or more, though?
We already have our lot and are building in CO.
OK, now I need to go out and buy about a gallon of peanut butter because I am so jelly
Out of the frying pan and into the fire?
Congrats!
+29.5% nominal value, but what has happened to the dollar since?
Ugh. Sorry. I mean congrats!
This is why I’m no fun at parties.
I’m a little (a lot) drunk. But I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for not giving me shit (that I could hear) on the other day’s Zoom. I’m a lurker, maybe one of the longest running lurkers ever. Fuck you Tonio (figuratively), for messing with my name 😉
And, on paper (which is apparently all that matters), I’m more qualified than Anthony Fauci to opine on any subject except the taste of his wife’s asshole. Absolutely everything about the last 12+ months is utter bullshit. The medical science community has proven itself to be 100+ years behind every other scientific discipline in process and intelligence. The odds are better that 17 people on the entire planet have died *of* covid than that even 1% of the reported victims have.
Anyone who supports the existence of government has at least threee more chromosomes than they should.
No worries man/woman/plant/FBI/etc.
I’ve managed to stave off the Catholic guilt about not being around to at least host last night.
I see what you did there.
“… has at least threee more chromosomes than they should.”
If their understanding of science matches their understanding of Covid-19 I would assume they think this is a good thing.
Come sit by me.
I’d love to know how you arrived at your numbers.
I’m more qualified than Anthony Fauci to opine on any subject except the taste of his wife’s asshole
That got a solid, out-loud snigger. Good man (? whatever, don’t care).

But were you wearing a mask? Or do you want people to die??
Do I get to specify which people?
That would put a different angle on things, certainly.
Hmmm. You might be on to some, GT!
“To something “
Stupid autocorrect etc etc.
You still on here begging for money? I’m willing to throw a few your way. Maybe you’ll keep your mouth shut when I say I dont want douchbags posting the same stupid shit everyday
?
Easy, now.
You can just gloss over the parts of this site you disapprove of.
I’m glad you’re back. I’d like that to continue.
Am I wrong? I’m clearly being an asshole but when I come here I want to continue to see:
Brilliant conversation
Less begging and suicidal threats
Less porn
Nobody loves everything here in the comments section. Hell, some of The Powers That Be (i.e., the founders) dislike some reoccurring comment themes, but they let them go.
If it is intolerable, install Monocle and use the Mute function.
Personal attacks will, I suspect, get you bounced. I prefer that not happen.
Ignore the bit you don’t like/don’t care for – it’s still an oasis of sanity.
I appreciate your calm comment. I obviously need to keep my mouth shut. The world is awash in porn, we don’t need it here. It doesn’t add anything in my opinion, and based on TPTB wanting to limit Q et al I’m not the only one who is sick of it. And seeing the same exact post day after day month after month, it pisses me off. Its pathetic, frankly.
Opinions vary re: Q’s links and a great many other issues.
It’s like a cocktail party – you don’t like some bore you’ve run into? Just move on – you needn’t denounce them to the crowd at large.
It’s not an echo chamber here, so sometimes we have to look at links we don’t have to click or comments we don’t like or even entire postings we don’t care for. None of those things are forced upon us, we can choose not to engage.
It’s still better than most other places.
I will again recommend Monocle and the Mute function for things you find intolerable.
Where’s the pin?
Just to be a prick, the rules from TPTB says clearly no NSFW photos. Some chick from the Daily Mail posted every single day is a violation of the rules of the site. Paint me as an asshole all you want, this is supposed to be a site of ideas, not tittie photos.
Please: no NSFW images or gifs.
I can understand. Some really get annoyed with Bro’s schtick of firsting, I find it kind of amusing, especially as he makes good comments and is engaged. I’m not into Demi Rose’s ass for the millionth time either, but CP is a good commenter as well. TPTB have been mostly pretty hands off with banning and warnings, it’s a tough line to straddle.
Obviously I’m the asshole here but I come here to lurk and read what smarter people than me have to think. It is one of the few sites on the earth that is amusing and enlightening at the same time. I skip my fair share and don’t really care what the vast majority think re whatever topic. I can’t stand astrology, people talking about fitness, spanish, science fiction, terrible taste in music, beer and pizza preferences. I let it go. It’s a personal opinion. But degrading the site by dragging it down to the lowest common denominator is offensive to me. Ban me I guess.
I have nearly zero interest in sports, don’t think of Star Wars as anything more than a series of movies, and don’t play musical instruments – so when I see several walls of text about any of the above topics I just scroll past. Guess how much it costs me?
I understand. I have a lot to learn to be sure. I dont throw bombs when folks talk about abortion or serious debates. I need to learn to just walk on by.
Also poetry is the pathetic writing of those who can’t. If you could you would write something interesting. I challenge anyone who writes poetry to put together a coherent storyline that hasn’t been stolen from pop culture. Also, we have accomplished writers here, please show your publisher any of Yusef’s writings. It is amazing and I thing the wider literary world needs to see his prose.
Dude, stop whining about the things you don’t like to see here. Think I care about the gun threads? The coding talks? What kind of automobile you have or what’s under the hood? Hell, even some of the short stories here? Not particularly to all of that…what I don’t do is complain and shit on everyone and everything when I see it. Stop with the hostile, petulant bitching. Nobody cares what you want to see or not see.
Middle of our road trip home. Waved to P Brooks and Riven on the way by.

I’m in Breckenridge this week. A little out of your path.

Britain: Masks and distancing to stay after June, says Raab
For the live of… man, I guess most of the good British stock left for these shores a few hundred years ago.
Great War? pro patria mori.
I stubbornly remain an Anglophile despite the barracking they get around here. “In 1215 at Runnymede, doo dah…” ?
Btw, saw your comment on your Minnie map the next day. What a great find, good you preserved it!
Thanks! Still not sure what to do with it.
I could send hi-res scans of the relevant portions to Minnesota Glibs who want to see the name of the landowners in 1880s for given locations.
As someone commented, interesting juxtaposition with the photo.
2 full days after the official lifting of the outdoor mask mandate, most people still wearing masks.
Younger people moreso than older.
I don’t want to get into “kids these days” mode, but WTF?
Yup, I noticed about a ten percent decline or more in the past week here, but that is entirely non millennial. The youngsters are the true believers.
There was a live band at the local golf club last night, so it was a pretty good crowd. The only people wearing masks were two women who had fancy sparkly bejeweled masks.
I think they wanted to show them off. Whatever. They can wear masks all day. I just don’t want to be told to do the same.
As Chafed pointed out, if you’re exerting yourself physically (or if you have asthma,etc) the masks make a noticeable difference on how much oxygen you can get into your body.
Risking hypoxia by wearing a mask that doesn’t protect you from a disease unlikely to harm you is just plain nuts.
I really can’t stand the damn things, and at this point it should be well obvious that they do very little if anything to prevent transmission of a respiratory illness. My kids have to wear them everyday for school (Catholic, they’ve been full time in person since November with no Vid cases at all). It makes me very unhappy that they have to, but as the wife and I work outside the home we need them to be in school. It’s a trade off and it is still worth it, but I hate it. It’s doing jack shit other than messing with kids’ development. I’m in and out of peoples houses and apartments all day long, a piece of fabric over my face makes many here feel good, but it doesn’t do anything. We are living the Emperors New Clothes for more than a year, it’s time people realized it.
Finally got around to watching The Gentleman – started a bit slow but I ended up loving it – this McConaughey fellow is charismatic. Solid entry in the Ritchie oeuvre, will watch again.
Right on, I will check that out. I absolutely love Lock Stock and Snatch, but haven’t really enjoyed anything since by Ritchie. Hopefully now that he’s well past Madonna he can make some more good stuff.
Pretty fun race today, just finished the replay of it. That was solid racing, not the most exciting of the three, but good straight racing. I’d have liked to see Max get that extra point at the end. At least it’s looking like a competitive season.
He’s got a new one with Statham opening this Friday “Wrath of Man” or something. Looks interesting but more of a straight crime thing with less comedy. I’ll probably check it out in a couple weeks – good excuse for lunch and a movie in the theaters again.

Howdy Glibs, I hope it’s a splendid day out there, get your sunshine goin’
Same song, different verse. Did get 6 hours in bed last night, with only 4 intermissions. Maybe a personal best. I got up at 4 and the change of positions sitting up and the discomfort leaves right away. I’ll catch the rest of the night (morning) in the recliner. All is well.
When I get up early like this I’m a little dehydrated. Hit the refrig and a glass of juice. Now that’s refreshing, cold with a little sweet tangy taste. Like a beer on a hot dusty day. Only in the before days, it wasn’t just one beer, these days the juice is satisfying. Feel like Tony Tiger but with a gimp.
Glad you’re moving in a positive direction.
Grr-reat! ??
I know someone a score younger than you with similar sleep difficulty. Doesn’t sound fun.
Good morning, 4(20), TARDy, ::glances upthread:: Sean, TO’G, & Yu! Fourscore, I’m so glad to know your discomfort is lessening!
A rainy day here, but that makes it less tempting to “play hooky” when there are month-end reports to be done at the day job. Good coffee in the travel mug, a cat lurking nearby to commandeer my lap at the most inopportune moment… Life is good here, and I hope it’s likewise for all of you!
It feels like early morning at Huntington beach right now, overcast but not cold, or gloomy, a good start, hope its nicer over there GT
57 degrees ‘Murican, with a predicted high of 73. And thunderstorms in the forecast! I have an irrational fondness for thunderstorms. I’m just sorry I won’t be able to enjoy them from the back porch. Maybe this evening?
They were great last night, light show!
Mornin’, happy peppy people!
Gliddy gloop glooby! 😉
That’s a lame tune but I love it anyway! Reminds me of riding my mustang bike with the sissy-bar and banana seat when I was 6 years old.
You had a banana seat?? Lucky duck! I always wanted one of those! 🙁
It was sparlky orange, just like the rest of my Sears Special bike. I even had a wee licence plate and ribbons that hung from the handlebars. Don’t mock. It was 1970. You should have seen the trousers we were wearing at the time 😉
My other son had one too, Festus, green, 5 speed, got stolen when he left it in the front yard in TX.
I took my car to the shop, had the Green Machine in the trunk, rode it back home, I was about 35 or a little more.
You would have fit in, chez nous.
Someone wrote a short story about their first bike that always stuck with me. Even to the point that they couldn’t stop unless they ran into a wall or fell over. I was a clumsy child.
When my big brother learned to ride his bike, he just took off and never looked back. Dad has to chase him down before he got to the highway. Me, I was more of a figure8’s in the parking lot kid. Funny that, I don’t think he ever rode after about 12 or so and I got into cycling pretty seriously in my twenties and thirties.
Young Festus? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=owa6uXHG6Bw
I loved that movie and yes, it inspired me!
Mornin’ Red and others! Wonder how my portraits from last night turned out.
Good morning, Fes! Portraits, you say? Of the photographic variety? Perhaps taken by your resident artiste?
They had a “Draw Festus” contest for some reason. I was alternately mortified and yet strangely aroused by the entire enterprise. Festus has always been a vain creature…
Oh – on the Zoom, I gather? I’m sorry I missed that. 😀
Me too.
My Zoom absence might be down to a forgotten password, I dunno.
My live-in tech support isn’t comfortable with Zoom’s security, and I don’t want to make an issue of it.
I can’t drink enough to keep up with that crowd anyway. 😉
Let’s see if this works…
Festus looks like Well Groomed Frank Zappa?
Ha Ha! Actually they all went for the eyebrows. It was very amusing.
Close, TH. That’s actually Leon Redbone.
Now I’m imaging Festus as a sorta Duke Silver character. Mild mannered night custodian during the week, hepcat crooner who makes the middle-aged barflys swoon on the weekends.
The zoom was pretty cathartic, TBH. The day before was pretty fucked, work-wise. By the end I was very fucked up and as someone else mentioned earlier I also had potato chips for dinner. Today was not ideal.
*waves*
Gives two thumbs up to Sean.
https://justthenews.com/nation/science/beef-takes-beating-environmentalists-research-suggests-cows-can-actually-climate
The Department of Fart-Management. Can they even hear themselves?
namely, those in which cows are raised on pastures for their whole lives as opposed to in feedlots — may actually have a carbon-negative effect on the environment by helping to sequester greenhouse grasses under well-managed grasslands
The carbon ridiculousness aside, it is interesting to see a well-run grassfed operation compared with a feedlot. Joel Saladin’s Polyface farms is probably the best example. I heard that they actually had to raise the fence posts because the cycle created so much new topsoil that the fences became low enough to not be able to contain the animals.
That is interesting.
Dong.
For my friend Sean – https://youtu.be/pL5usTutJgU
Progs In The Mist #3 (not my innocent friend, people my age or older that should know better). Overheard on Friday night – “So Guilianni is some trouble! Yep! He’s going down! They’re finally going to get Trump, right? He’s done, this time!” These are otherwise at least competent people that you would trust to run machinery. He’s gone. He’s not your bug-a-boo any longer. Why?
Wish I knew. Some type of pleasure, obviously.
