HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, TO DAD SMITH
SEA SMITH GET MUCH BLAME. THING GO WRONG ON WATER, “It is clearly the fault of that rapey sea monster!” NO FAIR! NOT ALWAYS SEA SMITH. HE SHOW YOU…
- SEA SMITH NOT DO THIS. HE NO GO TO ISTANBUL OR CONSTANTINOPLE. IT NOBODY BUSINESS BUT TURKS.
- MAYBE SEA SMITH GO BEACH ONCE IN WHILE…BUT THIS NO HE FAULT.
- SEA SMITH NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE “NORTH CAROLINA” BE!
POOR SEA SMITH. SO BLAMED.
COME ON IN, WATER IS FINE!
When in Phuket, so as the Phuckers do.
do. Do as the pluckers do.
Oh phuck it!
Now you’re getting it.
What happens in Phuket stays in Phuket.
Isn’t Phuket clothing optional? Asking for a friend.
I don’t know. *looks around nervously*
Heroic Mulatto would know. Maybe light the HM signal?
Now I’m gonna have that Istanbul song in my head for about a week.
Fortunately, I kinda like it.
My folks had the 45 of that song and I played it nearly constantly.
Ok, that and The Green Door
Ugh, where the hell do I know that from? Either my parents had it on an 8-track or we had to sing it in elementary school music class.
Not the Green Door I was thinking of…
Behind the Green door trailer
There was a joint near here named the Green Door, lasted about as long as the song. Those songs take me way , way back.
Just build a little bird house in your soul.
That sentiment is odd…it seems like wisdom that I have not yet fully grasped.
Or you’re high.
Or I’m buzzed.
TMBG is total druggie music.
Or so I’ve heard.
Do like though.
I like them even without drugs.
Hipster status confirmed.
I only like their early stuff.
Shit, you’re right.
For a year in my early twenties they were my go-to work sucks, I hate my job band… I burned songs to CD-RWs (!) and played them on my work machine.
They played the Sunshine Theater several years ago and I regret not going.
There is only ONE song for Sea Smith, and its name is MONSTRO!

Three tubers die after going over dam; search continues for two missing”
RIP Spud.
*sigh*
Spud in the front, not in the back.*
Don’t go tubing on rivers with dams. It ain’t rocket science.
No love for Count Potato?
Regarding the alt-text, not every place celebrates Father’s Day in June.
Ward does.
Pearls before swine.
Little hard on the Beave?
I get it. I’m just late.
What you did there…
Celebrating Fathers is racist, since some communities have fathers that don’t honor their obligations. It’s also a celebration of the patriarchy and double plus bad.
Perhaps shutting down Ontario schools for so long is a blessing: https://mobile.twitter.com/jonkay/status/1406029257411813385
Jesus Christ. These people are completely unaware.
U thought it was YouTube…
Jeez…
When I read tubers I thought it meant youtubers…
Speaking of water, we’re having some exciting weather. Just getting a warning that there could be ping pong ball-sized hail headed our way from just a couple of miles to the west. 🙁
Please pray for our Subarus.
The horror, the horror.
*bows head*
Relax, it’s only Mother Nature not SugarFree.
Just say ten hail Marys and try not to do it again.
Ever see the video of a Subaru owner juggling ping pong balls?
Ummm…no. But if I can, I’ll ask TT to shoot some video of me juggling hailstones.
I didn’t think Subaru owners were into balls.
ZING!
Friday Funbags are once again upon us.

Tubers dying in whitewater, huh? Let me guess…no brain buckets, no PFDs, and probably drunk as fuck. Natural selection in action.
They were probably on dope!
That’s exactly what I was expecting. Well done.
Dam shame about those tubers.
Here’s some Phuket Sandbox music:
https://youtu.be/1NB30EZQQ2E
I wonder if they saw any snakes?
So…..just got back from dinner at gourmeltz. Talking to my buddy – he’s doing a lot better now. About to finish the lease paperwork for the unit next to his current one (not sure exactly how the expansion is gonna work yet).
For any VA glibs who don’t have plans for the 4th yet. Looks like there’s a Fredericksburg Nationals game that starts at 4 followed by fireworks (and I’m guessing Gourmeltz will be open till midnight). My buddy is sponsoring one of our other friends/coworkers from cville who does professional skydiving on the side to jump into the game for the opening. I’d link to the jump he made into the Gourmeltz parking lot a couple years ago but can’t recall his youtube channel at the moment.
Sounds like a fun time, but I don’t see July tickets up for sale on the site yet. Maybe if there’s interest we can coordinate a mini-meet via the forum or DMs, etc.
SPACE SMITH SAY STOP TALK SO MUCH ABOUT SEA AND STEVE! SPACE RAPE HARDER, LONGER, AND FROM SPACE! SPACE IS SUPREME!
Watching this tonight after work.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T-6tRmnDT-Y&feature=youtu.be
Wait… the bloodiest Apache of all was Japanese?
That’s OK as “The Man with No Name” was actually a ronin samurai.
I don’t know why, but I cannot stop watching this guy’s Youtube. I mean, I don’t know what y’all maybe more familiar with the topic would think about it. I don’t even know if this guy is British or if he’s even ever been to Japan. I mean, fuck, he could even be Canadian and so the Japanese would hate him like we all do!
Anyway, I laughed at his stuff for hours last night. Is there really such thing as Pizza Sand? Get out of here! I even found out there are love hotels in Japan and that Sapporo beer is really made there!
I think I’m going Japanese, I really think so
I’ve watched Chris’s channel for years. I don’t regularly follow it, but when it shows up in my feed I’ll usually give it watch.
What I find hysterical is that his British English accent is so strong in what would otherwise be quite good Japanese. I can’t understand how he can be there that long and have such a strong accent.
The thing I have found interesting lately is when I watch one of the travel shows the wife and I watch on Globo, it seems that when their guy, Pedro, is in Japan, all the Japanese girls and especially girls in Okinawa, speak English with a British accent.
He’s a youtuber so he’s got make content, but you can tell he actually likes Japan.
Other youtubers sometimes treat their life in Japan like Gorillas in the Mist.
Chris? Yeah, I got that. I’m pretty obsessed with visiting now myself. I wouldn’t want to live there, as a 300 sq fit apartment with paper walls doesn’t appeal to me, but I’d love to spend time here, I think it’s a great country and culture.
He needs to learn to speak real English, which is of course American. We still haven’t been able to teach them.
His Engrish video is pretty good
https://youtu.be/V347dTGZVl0
Actually most of his videos leave me in stitches.
Personal favorite is Google Translate fails.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J4id5jnEo8
I’m saving that for tonight and a glass of scotch.
Google Translate has come a long ways. When my wife and I met in 2008, it was hilarious how bad it could be. It’s much better now.
Google Translate seems to do much better with Romance languages to English than with Asian languages.
Within Asian languages my experience is that Chinese is better than Japanese to English. Or at least they seem more reasonable. That said I speak zero Chinese. Maybe GL can chime in here.
Well, Romance languages use the same character set as English, so yeah. But even with that, it was comically bad a decade ago.
I haven’t used Google Translate that much for Mandarin, because I didn’t think it supported pinyin input. Or at least the app doesn’t seem to do it.
Copy/paste and posting the link to translate the page works sometimes.
So, wokesters, how is Woketeenth going?
Stepping in something I should know better than stepping in….
So.. now that being anti-racism requires rejecting a colorblind society as inherently racist…. And now that we have a new holiday to celebrate how long it took for official communication reach the farthest outposts of the country in the 1800’s… How long before we move to depreciate MLK day just as we moved to depreciate Lincoln’s Birthday in favor of MLK?
The purges are already well underway in the military. The rest of government can’t be far behind.
Surely the holy handbook of Tanahisi Coats will serve as a guiding light to move us from post-racial to the eutopia that is the hyper-racial society of the woke, and so elevate him to sainthood and national holiday status, supplanting MLK and his dream of all people being judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Here’s how you step into it. You tell the wokesters to fuck off and laugh at them. They won’t get it.
Juneteenth would seem to acknowledge that slavery was finally ended by Yankee bayonets. Good; that will be used when they come for reparations and those of us descended from Union soldiers will tell them we don’t owe you, maybe you owe us.
Much as I agree, good luck with that.
Every race and ethnic group will want in on the spoils. Why isn’t there a Stonewall Day? Or a real holiday in place of Cinco de Drinko? Or something for Indians? And so on.
Same with the neo Maoism. Lowering flags on 12/7 is offensive to Japanese and Japanese-Americans, must go.
And you thought are own St. Fauci was the only person who enjoyed the limelight.
HEALTH AND SCIENCE Five years before a vaccine can ‘hold the line’ against Covid variants, England’s medical chief says
Did he mention there was very little flu reported this past winter?
Sure there was plenty of flu. It was all reported as Covid. Like the new variant, which has as chief symptoms, congestion and sore throat. Hmm, sounds a lot like flu to me. SCIENCE!
OT: my company has a job posting for our Tokyo office. Among the requirements are Japanese proficiency of JLPT 1/2 (not N1/N2) and English proficiency at business level (no TOEIC score or even mention of TOEIC). I’d like to think it’s tailored to a specific candidate but it’s probably just typical HR sloppiness.
My experience with posting like you describe is that they already have the candidate they want to hire and created the position based on the candidates background.
It’s odd because as you’ve written it you can’t tell if they want a native English or a native Japanese speaker.
FYI the JLPT changed it’s system in 2010: https://jlpt.jp/e/reference/pdf/guide2011_e_02.pdf
As for me I’m N3 at best and certainly not business competent in my Japanese. I can generally understand, but have a hell of a time speaking the politer forms with any kind of fluency.
I knew about the changes, I just haven’t seen a job posting that hasn’t been N whatever.
My wag is it’s a non-native Japanese speaker, although pretty much everyone in that workgroup is a native (it’s an account exec role). The technical positions are about half Japanese, half other Asian.
I’ve been saying all along the lockdowns and shit are coming back in the fall.
I mean, they have models.

Now taking requests for tonight’s Glibs After Dark theme.
Somehow that reminds me of this… https://www.amazon.com/PB-Swiss-Southwest-Conference-Southeastern/dp/B00HOQV50M
Ok, I feel like I missed an in-joke. I don’t get how The Goonies is a classic. There were funny parts, but the movie as a whole… meh.
Never did a thing for me either. But I didn’t like ET either…
It’s not good enough for you?
*shrug*
Entertained us well enough for “80s movie night”. I think the reputation is way overblown.
I liked “Stand by Me” better.
I was much more of an offbeat comedy guy – “Real Genius”, “Better Off Dead”, etc.
*swish*
WTF?
OK, Millennial, if you say so.
This guy said it better than I could.
*raises hand*
I never saw it until a couple years ago, and I’ve watched it several times since.
Despite Spielberg’s stamp all over it, I love it.
So… three movies I’ve seen, two I like, one I think is a classic.
De gustibus etc.
The Goonies is a kids movie. If you didn’t see it as a kid, your opinion is probably irrelevant.
I didn’t see it as a kid because I was a high school student living in Germany when it came out. I wasn’t even aware of it until years later. Plus, it looked stoopid.
I though Mayor Lightfoot was stellar in it.
Different 80s movie.
Ha!
Yeah, I remember Seeing Goonies in the theater and maybe a couple times on cable after that, but don’t remember it being so great. Haven’t seen it in at least 30 years though so maybe I should watch it again.
On a related note, I remember liking Buckaroo Banzai back in the 80s, but I tried rewatching it recently and holy crap it’s bad. We could only make it about 1/3 through before we had to shut it off.
Yes!
I loved Buckaroo Banzai back in the day. Tried watching it recently and, like you, I had to tap out.
I was disappointed.
“Wherever you go, there you are.”
Deborah Foreman > Monika Schnarre
Weird. I like that one more as I age – tapped out the first time I saw it on cable.
Made a great double feature at the AFI Silver Spring with Robocop back in 2009.
Trying to decide if I want to pick up the UD bluray to complement my UK import or not.

Those girls look like they are being held at gun point.
Serious case of thigh gap. Maybe the photographer threatened to withhold their rations again.
If I have what I suspect that I have, the treatment will be worse than the disease. Dueling meds? Fuck that shit! I’d rather die. It’s flaring up again tonight.
Pardon my last comment. I’m in my cups and a little histrionic. You fine folks have a great one!
Hi F! Hysterical and wet?
Ménière’s Disease by any chance? You need not answer.
I was going to go with penile elephantiasis.
Probably MS. I cant even see my doctor because covid.
I think the only cure for being Canadian is moving south.
Even without the border restrictions they wouldn’t let me set foot on American soil. I had a DUI in 1996.
If it’s just a single DUI, without any other crimes, that won’t disqualify you. We’re not Canada. Yet.
https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-402?language=en_US
Yeah, have you talked to a lawyer? Then think of all the Yank Glibs you could cavort with! I heard Canada bans DUIers for ten years; hope I’m right about that.
Dizziness might be a mere inner-ear thing.
It’s not just dizziness, Miss O’Grady.
How long before this bigot acts on her fantasy?

https://youtu.be/jfQSp92L88I
Back then it was hammered into our budding psyches that “race” didn’t matter. We were all God’s children, regardless of where you came from or what your name was. Everyone was free to be. Kinda hippy-dippy but it sure beats the shit out of the racial divide today.
I remember a Sunday School song about various pigment shades and that god loved all the little children. Each and every one. OTOH there seems to be no shortage of adults (mostly male) that have the same fascination.
Y’all know that I am a stepmother, which means that I have some sort of relationship with the ex wife and biological mother of my husband’s children.
This required a great deal of diplomacy and self-editing on my part when the kids were minors going back and forth between households. My approach was to try and raise good adults( her approach was to maintain happy children.
Anyway, it’s now been 8 years or so since the kids fledged and left the nest.
But the self-serving bitch now goes all over my husband’s Facebook posts. He only wants to be civil for eventual weddings, etc, But she acts like she still has a right to say something to him.
Especially loved to act like she has a special bond. She’s lucky I have allowed her to live.
She likes to wallow in the fact that he was sick recently.
Tonight he played with a local band. It was great and I posted these photos:

That idiot ex wife wrote “Glad he’s doing well also. Just wondering about the choice of pants..oh that’s right it’s Michael. Shouldn’t wonder”
To which I replied “ Jeri Caskey Well, one of the joys of divorce is that he no longer has to give a sparkly fucking shit about your opinion on his wardrobe. Yay! ?”
Her reply was “wow. My attempt at humor seems to have went the wrong way.
Wasn’t meant to offend you.”
I am just too happy that I don’t have to give a shit about her that I don’t get why I’d be offended.
Happy weekend, everyone!
Gah! Exes can be messy. Sorry to hear. Judi’s ex hates me and I haven’t spoken to mine for 25 years. Facestalk is poison.
Yeah, my exes have zero communication with
me because we didn’t have kids or alimony. Frankly I don’t know if they’re alive or dead (and there is a second verse).
I find it amusing that his idiot ex wife thinks she still has a claim of some sort over him. When I entered the picture in 2005, I thoroughly read their divorce decree and began to help him exercise his rights and benefits. She was not happy.
At one point, she remarked to him that “I know how much engineers make” as if she had some sort of right to MY salary. The sternly worded letter that she subsequently received from my (fictional) lawyer scared the shit out of her.
I kind of felt guilty at the time when going toe to toe with such a transparent idiot, but I got over it. Natural selection is a thing, after all.
I’m still awake from yesterday for some reason.
Ouch. Those days seem to be over for me. I got almost six hours.
I’m going to try and take a nap. Odds are my weekend’s shot.
I was in bed for 7 but up about 4-5 times. Don’t get old
Mornin’ to everyone, cooler day today
Yeah, I took a wake-break after about 4 hours. Tossed and turned for the rest. Sigh.
Enjoy some stupid from one of the NY Post’s newer lefty propagandists that are popping up on the “news” page with increasing frequency:
Ricky Schroder? Huh, I did not know he was normal.
The dripping contempt in that article is breathtaking.
My favorite bit is that the factual statement “COVID-19 vaccine makers are exempt from liability” is for reasons beyond my comprehension now “anti-scientific propaganda”. Yeah, OK.
Oh yeah, Ricky has been in the news quite a few times in recent years because of his deplorable ways.
He turned out to be a decent actor .
If not a very busy one any more.
I had no idea who Ricky Schroder was until 3 mins ago. Seems like a good chap!
Well, lost my job yesterday. I had the audacity to point out the reason my douchebag boss(whom I’m pretty sure is a cokehead) was having money issues because he’s too disorganized to keep things running smoothly. He lost his mind and went on an epic rant before firing me.
Oh well. The job market is starved for labor, I’ll be employed again by the end of next week.
Good riddance.
I’m sorry it went down that way, but you’re right – I don’t think you’ll have any trouble landing another gig. Around here, I’m seeing billboards advertising “Now Hiring.” Just on my commute home, I saw those for a smallish fast food chain, a local Proctor & Gamble warehouse/distribution center, and the local casino.
Exactly, GT. After looking at job openings last night I realized just how short I’ve been selling myself. I’m good, no worries.
Oof. Good luck.
Around here, it’s absolutely an employee’s market. Everyone is hiring.
I haven’t had any luck in over two months hiring people. ?
I’m torn. I really want to go out & hang at Tranquility Base (back patio,) but it’s been raining torrentially since last evening, and there’s a small river running across it, plus some yellow & orange bits on the radar nearby that might drift over us. Guess I’ll stay inside for the time being.
