Heroic Mulatto made a rare appearance in the comments this week. It got me wondering why does this guy love eating ass how important is your ass?
The short answer is… pretty, damn important. Your butt (gluteus maximus) is your largest muscle working against gravity. Your butt keeps your torso upright and helps move your hips and thighs. Fun fact: your butt is the largest muscle in your body period. Largest two muscles actually (unless you had a bizarre tragic accident.)
Skater hop for men.
Strengthening your butt is a key ingredient in eliminating lower back pain. Obviously, if you have something structural, like scoliosis, you have a different reason for lower back problems. For most people who feel it in their lower back, “spinal” exercises are not the key to eliminating the pain. Working your butt is.
Your butt plays a role in anti-rotational stability. (h/t gluteus minimus) Why care about anti-rotational stability? Because sometimes life is more than walking in a straight line. Typically, people focus on their abs when they think about this kind of workout. Ab work is very important and should be included in your routine. Also include some butt work like skater hops: men’s version, or women’s version. Sure, you will feel it in your legs. I promise you the next day you will feel it even more in your behind. Strong glutes can help reduce the risk of a range of sports-related lower body injuries, such as hamstring strains, “runner’s knee,” and shin splints.
Skater hop for homen as demonstrated by the lovely, fit Mindi Smith. Link to video in article.
It’s true woman have larger butts than men. It’s linked to hormones and sciencey stuff I don’t entirely understand. Ask HM how that works. I heard he teaches a course on it.
Women with fat asses may be smarter. (Boredom warning: journal article.) Apparently storing Omega-3 fatty acids in your butt leads to better brain development. Congratulations, ladies?!? Now I’m wondering if this means Tres Cool dated a series of Nobel prize winners.
Gratuitous lists of things “lost” in people’s asses.
Editor’s note: get a damn butt plug. The embarrassment of having someone find that is far less than the embarrassment of having to go to the ER to have that random object removed.

Some of you are expecting “Baby Got Back” as this week’s music. It’s a fun song but I’ll leave it to Ted’S to link it in the comments. Some of you are expecting “Fat Bottom Girls.” Sorry, I’m not a Queen fan. ZZ Top did a fine job with “Tush,” but my favorite music runs toward hard rock and heavy metal. For Tres (and incidentally MikeS). For HM. For Me.
Weekly cuteness.
Unless you lose the flange up there too.

Oh the stories you could tell.
But feel free to keep them confidential.
I do tell them. On Zoom. LOL

Traditionally you could carve one out of a piece of ginger.
Overheard at work last week – “You should look up figging.” From one co-worker to another.
Exactly what kind of operation are you running?
An entertaining one.
Did that come up in the interview process for the people you hired?
It did not.
Tomorrow’s the big day. Both new hires are scheduled to start.
Ain’t sayin’ nuffin.

Wife was in process of becoming the legal medical guardian for the widow with no family who lives down the street. Lawyer is drawing up the paperwork right now.
So doesn’t it figure that the widow would have a mental episode that requires an EMT and ER visit before it’s done?
She was chewing us out for dishonoring her father (who’s been dead for decades) and throwing a party in her house. She demanded that we make everyone leave immediately and find out why the house was flooded with water as well. All while she was laying on the floor in the hallway.
With any luck, it’s either the wrong meds or a diabetic hallucination and she’ll be back to normal soon. The wife was a little shaken by the hostility. I had to go through and remove all the accessible handguns after the EMTs left with her.
Yikes! Any previous behavior episodes indicating dementia?
Not that I’m aware, she’s normally pretty sharp. She could obviously put her words together to give us hell, so I don’t think it was a stroke.
Good on you Scruffy. That has got to be its own level of hell, old and sick and no one to trust.
This is why I’m putting the nieces and nephews in the will.
Ouch. Best wishes.
I’ve been semi-slacking with the rowing last couple of weeks – skipping days, going short, etc.
Got back on the horse today and did 1h45m while watching the (excellent) F1 race. 1,000 calories burned makes me feel better about the Thai we’re having for dinner.
Given the HM reference, “the Thai we’re having for dinner” can be taken a number of ways.
The kind that will involve delicious noodles and not the kind that might involve a surprise penis
I’m a little disappointed.
Good job getting back to it.
Oh dear. Going to be hard to earn those lost respect points back….
I’m glad I’m not the only one whose fur stood up when I read that! ?
By all means enjoy them. They just never did much for me.
Grrr, right when I walk out the door to go fishin’, it starts raining, Shucks….
Send some of those clouds this way!
*looks at cloudless 90 degree 3-day forecast*
It is near 90 here right now. Dry, calm and near perfect. The mornings not so much. The temp dipped to almost freezing a few nights. I am not ready for winter and if not for “reasons” would move to Florida.
It was low seventies today with low humidity here.
45 and sunny in the Great Land today.
Chiefs vs Chargers is a great game!
Just watched the Giants lose again, might as well watch the Jets lose again next.
That one was actually close. Not a humiliating loss like the Bears…
That’s why we have the Jets.
HOLY SHIT! JUSTIN TUCKER JUST MADE THE LONGEST FIELD GOAL IN NFL HISTORY TO WIN THE GAME FOR THE RAVENS!
66 yards, bounced off the crossbar and back IN through the uprights.
That ball is going to Canton.
nice kick
Pats game was not so good. Way too many mistakes. Jones looked pretty good, had a bunch of passes dropped and not enough protection by the O line.
Gonna be a long season.

oversight?
The making of documentary and director and cast commentary for that are almost as good as the movie itself.
More like I wanted to limit the links. That was the last one to go.
P.S. I was shocked in the dead thread to learn Hear ‘N Aid was new to you.
Not sure if you’ll see this but…
I think a combination of age (I was only 14 in ’86), the pansy-assed program directors in NoDak, and the musical tastes of my peers is why I never heard it. I’m not saying nobody in ND knew about it, just that circumstances conspired against us in my little town.
more in the exercise theme
Much vitamin D was had today. #takeyourshirtoffandgrillsomemeat #notanlines as it was probably the last pool day of the season. All good. Last week I got three bike rides in as well as the morning stretching, ab rollers, squats and pushups. I am feeling good and hope all of you are as well. If not, get off your ass.
Kudos WS.
Hmmm… Mr Bunghole. Excellent. Trevor Dunn kicks ass on bass. By the way, this is what happens a couple of generations after a hippy commune is set up in some ag area. Pot smoking rednecks doing weird shit, musically and lifestyle wise.
Personal note, back on track with exercises and stretches. Zero bike rides this week but a couple new antiques to restore, so that should keep me out of trouble.
…a couple new antiques to restore…
But if they were new why would they need restoring?
I’m not old, it’s just the patina. I worked at an antique store, if the auction prices were too low I’d buy some stuff and redo it. Now 40 years later we’re still using the barley twist oak chairs every day in the kitchen.
I do pretty sympathetic resto’s, mostly a cleanup and replace/fix any broken parts. This is an Art Nouveau secretary desk with glass side shelves I picked up on the cheap, along with a couple of vintage lamps. All fun and they should last forever is taken care of. Sometime I will need to see the barley twist chairs.
“Now I’m wondering if this means Tres Cool dated a series of Nobel prize winners.”
Trying to find a fat, white, broad, with an ass is like hunting for leprechauns. Despite coming from the factory with DDs installed as OEM, they typically have asses like cookie sheets.
I dont know what Adahn predicted in the IFLA, but the BenGirls beat Pittsburgh- at Pittsburgh. Im going to just finish my beer and go to bed.
Since Friday was my last day at former job, the HR exit lady went over benefits with me. Turns out I have some mulah left on my HSA that will disappear on Sept 30. So I bought a pair of those Bose hearing aids; no prescription required. I know I’ve lost some hearing due to artillery, arc flashes, and sinus infections so I want to have the option.
Did I mention I love the free market?
They were restricted to a few states. After reading your post it was pleasant to see a happy accident from fedgov of allowing nationwide sales.
I am confident that if their sales take off, the gov will step in again to “help.”
I hope Dr Rand Paul has scored himself a pair…
HSA or FSA? I thought HSA funds follow the employee.
I dunno. Probably FSA. It’s in the form of a wageworks debit card.
Last week lost five pounds but this week gained two back. Still on the 5×5 strong lifts. This weekend my eating went to shit due to just depression, and having to change my major for school.
To to all you, and have great week!

Hugs and best wishes on the depression. Feel free to vent here anytime; lots of us have!!
Good to hear about the weight loss. Sorry about the depression.

GlibFit dinner. ?
Looks like someone took their guns to town. At the price it’s highway robbery.
Elk? Beef? Other?
Beef.
My g’daughter sent a picture of the moose her husband shot a couple days ago. They’ve only been in Alaska a year, first time they could legally hunt. Not a trophy but an eater. Now she has to shoot one next year. Hard not to be proud to them, they have really taken to Alaska, in a bush village.
Nice. ?
Scrolling through, read as “Elk? Beef? Otter?”.
Otter might be a bit too musky…
Nice CZ.
The steak looks good too.
You were going to shoot it, if we hadn’t run out of time. It was still sitting on the couch as of today.
Maybe next time.
Ahh.
I like my CZ-75. Mine was made between the fall of Communism and the break-up of Czechoslovakia.
The pictured one belongs to the gf.
I want a stainless one. I may wind up getting mine hard chromed.
Someday I’ll pick up a stainless PCR.
Have you considered np3?

Nah, better to try that out on the Tisas 1911A1. Who knows how the LTT parts in the M9 would react.

I think I am ready to lower the risers I use for deadlifts. The trainer’s idea for getting back to conventional deadlifting is to use risers to reduce range of motion. Once I can correctly deadlift at a particular height for some number of weeks in a row without causing problems with my herniation, use lower risers. I’m using 45 lb bumper plates as risers. Next time I deadlift, I will use 25 lb bumper plates as risers. After that, conventional deadlifting with normal range of motion.
Yesterday I went to the gym in the late morning. I took a brief break afterwards for food and some web surfing. Then I went out to work in the yard for about four or five hours. Then I went out for dinner and hung out at the bar until last call. This morning I woke up with less than eight hours sleep, but felt great. I went into the gym as I’m off my usual schedule and need to work out on a Sunday to get back on that schedule. Afterwards, again a brief break for food and some web surfing. Then a few more hours of work in the yard. Then I washed the Mustang.
Speaking of the Mustang, I drove it to and from the gym today and yesterday. Both days I put the top down on the way back from the gym.
Seen At The Gym: Atilis Gym edition: While I was in Pennsylvania last weekend, I went down to Atilis Gym for shoulder and arm day. The gym is great. I, and I think others, have posted about them. They stayed open despite the shutdowns in New Jersey.
They have a board with record lifts at the gym. I looked at the deadlift numbers. One of the owners of the gym is up on the board with a 600-some-odd pound deadlift in the 250-260 lb class. The biggest number in the women’s list is a woman who deadlifted 425 lbs in the 150-160 lb class.
The gym is great. If you are in the Philly area, I suggest stopping in. No cost for a day pass, but you have to have your temperature taken and fill out a waiver.
Seen At The Gym, normal edition:
The bad:
My gym is experiencing a plague of people curling in the power rack.
The humorous:
The other day a guy was doing some dumb bell shoulder and arm work next to me. When I heard his grunting, groaning, and self-encouragement, my first thought was, “This guy seems to think he’s at a bad porno audition.”
The good:
I saw a woman today working out with her boyfriend. They were bench pressing. She was doing sets of doubles plus forced reps at 135 lbs.
Friday I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt which said on the front “CNN is fake news” and on the back, “Infowars!”. I also saw on Friday a guy wearing a “FEAR IS THE VIRUS” t-shirt which also had some anti-mask stuff on it.
The AC/DC song is good. Wouldn’t the song you marked “for Me” also be for Tres?
Sure but Whole Lotta Rosie seemed on the nose for Tres. Steel Panther makes me laugh. They have no fucks to give and just do their thing.
Got it.
42, 39, 66, you could say, she has it all?
Well fishin’ in the rain is ok, but this one fish kept fucking with me, took my bait at least four times, I had his spot zeroed, so it was cat and mouse, he won, this time.
Ahab, is that you??
And the Cardinals beat the Cubs again!
My fitness routine, such as it is, went by the wayside while I was off work this week. Back to the ol’ day job tomorrow, so back to eating better and exercising. Stocked up on Atkins breakfasts & lunches to get me through the coming week.
Today was an absolutely gorgeous day, and I spent almost all of it outside.
A little soup for dinner, and I think a Talisker would finish things off nicely.

Holy cow!
Oh my.
Went shopping today. Noticed some bare spots at both Walmart and regular grocery, including canned goods. Yakult is out of stock at every store I tried, even the Asian market which usually has entire flats for sale and both regular or nonfat. Nothing today.
Paper goods and cleaning supplies (still?) seemed fine and plentiful. Even had end caps of paper towels at Wally’s.
The wholesale club had no limits here. Name brand TP was stupid expensive though.
I’m seeing it in professional settings too. The semiconductor industry is way behind, even basic resistors and caps are behind.
Getting an appointment at the tire shop was difficult.
It’s like if you pay people to sit on their asses, they prefer sitting on their asses to working…
“We’ll get to it, who else you gonna call?”
I’m seeing it at work, on various items with extended lead times. My strategy for the past year has been to build up on items I regularly use or could use. Not just for the supplier but for an expected budgetary freeze.
DuPont’s chemical factory in Newark, DE, that supplies the semiconductor industry, is trying to find 40 “no experience necessary” workers; pay is $24.50/hr plus bennies and can’t find hardly a taker.
It’s not just the paying people to sit on said ass’, it is also the asinine Covid controls at Ports of Entry. I hear LA and Oakland are backed up while they do the covidiocy tango. Ups the cost and lead time on anything coming from overseas. I have some stuff coming in from China as there is no domestic supplier at a decent cost that is Dead in the Water.
The semiconductor industry is way behind, even basic resistors and caps are behind.
I interviewed with an electronic components company recently, and it sounded like they were making bank. The only thing holding them back was a desire to not over hire and then eventually lay off. Sounded downright sane compared to most companies. I was a bit disappointed with the call ending on “are you sure you aren’t interested in moving to [city X]? You are a great fit for this role” “sorry, let me know if y’all decide to hire remote”
And Trader Joe’s was once again filled with young coeds in yoga tights or volleyball shorts. Oh my.
(Autocorrect wanted to change that to Trader Hoes…)
“filled with young coeds in yoga tights or volleyball shorts. ” This is why I need to go back out West, there is a dearth of Women up here,

You can’t buy a can of V8 juice anywhere around here, you can get the plastic jugs and bottles but the cases of cans are just gone. Other than that I’m not seeing any empty shelves.
Hit Sam’s club today.
Picked up everything that might become a supply chain issue — TP, paper towels, garbage bags, etc — plus a lot of over-the-counter meds that we need to take.
I rarely get everything all at the same time like that. So I was expecting a big number.
Register rang up $450. WTF!
That’s at least 50% higher than pre-covid.
Your chocolate ration will be doubled, comrade.

I have showed that story to I dont know how many commie shitbirds.

They just cant get it. You cant drive it into their skull with a hammer. They read the story or see the videos and you just get gibberish back.
I have noticed a lot of empty shelves around here. Those people that used to joke about me being a ‘prepper’ are not making their jokes anymore.
Soup has been low, so when I saw stocks were up, I resupplied,
/I like canned goods
The wife came to me a couple days ago and said we should make sure we had enough on hand. Going to the store and seeing empty spots panicked her a little. Which is a nice change of pace, because she poo-pooed that in the past and then a couple of months ago when she said covid was over and we should drawing down on shelf items where I wanted to keep up the stockpiles.
drawing down on shelf items
Should only happen in emergencies. The point of a stockpile is to turn it into a FIFO queue. You keep buying at normal pace and eating the oldest of the stock instead of the new one.

We’re going to be moving, so we’re not buying anything and trying to empty our freezers so there is less to move.
We have all kinds of bare spots here but they are random. The price of beef has skyrocketed though. It is weird. Soon I can shop at the local organic cow raising peoples store and it be cheaper than the big W-mart. I probably should have been shopping there the whole time but they are spendy. Decent brisket though.
Yup, same here. The “pricey” butcher is 2x instead of the 3 or 4x they used to be.
I have A Guy™, a beef rancher who sells by the side, and I have freezers. As soon as we get moved, I’m going to put our name on the spring slaughter list.
For Me.
Summer sausage? Double chin? Damn.
This guy is how I envision out Canadian glibs now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xgd79wuriQ
Yeah, good ol’ J.J.
Bounces around like he’s on a non-stop sugar high, and he’s the only Canuck I’ve ever seen use the pronunciation “aboot” for the word “about” (and I’ve been all over this great big country); he’s also got the faux-intellectual patter down pat.
In other words, he gets old really fast.
My neighbor from Toronto occasionally says “aboot” for “about”.
Spent the first 15 years of my life in Toronto. Never heard it. I never even heard the phenomenon *referred* to until I moved out West. I always thought it was something a Newf or Cape Bretoner would say.
You probably don’t notice it.
We Americans notice it. It’s not always as exaggerated as American “humor” likes to portray, but it is detectable for me in most of the Canadians I’ve seen or known.
Gotta be an eastern Canuck thing.
Everyone around here pronounces it ab-ow-t.
Could be. All the Canadians I’ve known were from Ontario, and probably a big chunk of the ones I’ve seen on teevee too.
Isn’t it closer to “aboat” than “aboot”?
Yes. Or closer: a diphthong formed from ‘uh’ + ‘oo’.
It’s the same phonological phenomenon that accounts for the difference in the vowels between ‘side’ and ‘site’ – only Canadians apply it to the ‘ow’ sound as well, while Americans don’t.
I had a client on the Canada-US border, US side, who would say Aboot.
Also knew a Kanuk who would say Hoose for the place he lived.
Yeah, he’s fulla shit.
Maybe, but he’s got a mullet AND a pornstache AND stubble.
LOL the Jets rebuild is going swimmingly.
At least they got rid of that last QB. Not like now that he’s somewhere else he’s looking pretty decent or anything.
Yeah, I noticed that. ?
Reminds me a bit of the North Carolina steel company that would hire [former] union workers but would never hire old steel company management.

What the hell is the point of working from home if I can’t stop randomly to watch youtube videos or comment on glibs?! Probably has something to do with 9 DVDs I have rendering in the background.

I didn’t get my bike ride in today because I was dealing with the widow and her mental break of sorts. See upthread for details.
But I’ve been thinking about it more and I believe I may have a problem here. She’s turned hostile and she has no family so a social worker is going to step into the picture. The widow is hallucinating and has focused her paranoia on my wife and me. God knows what she’s liable to say to the social worker. My wife has been in and out of her house for years and the widow was going to leave the house to my wife. It was being written up this month. She now thinks, at least temporarily, we’re trying to steal all of her stuff when it was she that proposed the arrangement, not us.
Crap, I’m going to have to lawyer up just in case it gets ugly. Crap crap crap…
Umbrella insurance. Get it.
USAA preferably.
I’ve argued with my wife for years about this insurance.
She thinks I’m paranoid. lol.
We have it, as we have assets. Worth every penny, and it really isn’t that much. I bet if you talk to your agent, they can come up with something that works for you on the cheap.
I’ve had it for years. My wife feels the need to still ask about it. Hopefully I’ll never be able to say “told you so!”
And you think the widow leaving her house to your wife is rational b/c “she…proposed the arrangement”? Yeah, totally not out to steal her stuff.
So if my sarc meter is calibrated correctly, you DO think Scruffy’s wife is plotting to steal this widow’s house? To whom SHOULD the widow leave her house?
These guys.
I don’t know “who” should receive her house – but it is not rational to believe it should be Scruffy’s wife. Plotting? IDK. Hoping? Certainly seems so. To whom SHOULD the widow leave her house in your opinion?
Since this is what I do for a living, the lawyers.
Hi-yo!
Well, this is GlibFit, so jumping to conclusions counts as execise, I guess.
Hi-yo!
To whomever she chooses, absent any coercion, of course. I would hope that helping a neighbor in need (am I recalling correctly that Scruffy and/or his wife have been doing so?) would not constitute coercion.
You poor naive waif. No good deed goes unpunished.
The neighbor is cognitively impaired. Maybe she is mentally competent, maybe not. She is definitely vulnerable to undue influence. I see this all the time.
I’m not accusing SN or his wife of anything. I’m describing how it looks should a distant relative surface.
The point was that RAH outright accused Scruffy’s wife of evil intentions. She does that, angrily accuses people she doesn’t know of nefarious things with very little information.
I thought it was sarc myself but maybe it’s my meter that needs adjusting.
Point taken. I was simply offering Scruffy some unsolicited advice.
I confess – I’ve been warped by having kind, helpful neighbors.
What new spore of madness is this?
Maybe they’re really body snatchers or vampires or something?
My neighborhood may be a horror movie in the making!
*Searches for good The ‘Burbs clip…loses interest and goes to bed*
Well, my vacation’s over, and I have to go back to work tomorrow (technically, later today,) so I guess I should go to bed myself.
Now I’m probably going to have nightmares about my neighbors. ?
I’m well aware and have already called an attorney.
We’ve never asked for anything from the widow, ever. However that doesn’t mean shit in this type of situation.
I’ll assume RAHeinlein was being sarcastic because the alternative would piss me off a bit too much.
Sorry.
You have a big problem and should get a lawyer. If you or your wife are going to become her guardian or conservator, then you have a fiduciary duty to her. Getting the house via a lifetime gift or a bequest at death implicates that duty.
Wheee! I just won an auction for an antique Webley air pistol, now to see my CC bend under the weight. But it was significantly under my max bid, which is nice.
In other news, I spent most of the afternoon tearing out the baseboards in the upstairs bathroom. Almost no mold, but I did find a shit patch in the wall. So, the good with the bad. Mold has been dealt with already, but the former owner silicone the boards in some spots, and in a house with natural wood trim, they painted these shit brown.
Nice about the Webley.
Sorry about the bathroom.
Well, the Wobley will need some work, not too surprising as it is near 100 years old, but I got a good price on it, and hopefully it won’t be too bad, as the description was kind of off. It’s a springer, but they described it as a multi-pump. So, some of the issues could be just them not knowing how it works, or not really checking it.
The bathroom was planned, and so far not as bad as it could be, as everything in an old house takes twice as long and costs three times as much. To do it right at least.

I’m in love again.
There is a second season of this anime which made me think immediately of you.
Tawawa on Monday
It started as nothing but a manga artist’s work of big breasted women. Became a net animation and finally a full blown 5 minute anime of two seasons.
The wiki doesn’t mention it but “tawawa” means “heavily laden (as of a branch), sagging, drooping, bent low”.
I’m in love.
I am not a writer, but a suggestion for a glib article or two should be “glib-prep”
There have been a number of “prepper” articles. I don’t know how much more you could squeeze out of “stock up on stuff you might need”
That came off a bit more dick-ish than intended. Almost anyone submitting almost anything is going to be appreciated, I should have just pointed you to the previous articles and left it at that. I know there are uncountable books and blogs and whatnot about prepping so the topic probably hasn’t been exhausted here.
YouTube had been recommending the Canadian Prepper videos to me. His stuff is fairly interesting and well presented.
Well the Packers only wet fart the bed a couple of times in the first half. But kudos to Mason for forcing the return out of bounds.
There should have been intentional grounding on the penultimate play of the half.
Yep. But the defense should have known what would happen when Jimmy G went out and Lance came in.
Well the usual Packer defense has taken the field in the 3d quarter.
Nice catch by MVS.
Good work, Chafed! ?
I always marvel at the breadth of Glib knowledge, and gratefully appreciate the willingness to share.
Thanks Atreides.
Speaking of asses, if you’ve been with someone for two years, as long as neither of you have an active infection, it is relatively safe to eat one another’s asses as your gut flora are sufficiently similar.
Too much information!
HM is taking notes. Or did he give them to you?

I say yes, Don’t ask,

From “Getting laid” and “nutting in someone” to “eating ass”, sexual act slang kinda blows.
Whatever.
It’s still gross.
I’d rather eat her toe jam.

So, I’ve been banging this old widow down the street and working hard to get her to leave her house to me. Wish me luck.
Gotta love gaijin porn.
Gaijin didn’t document octopus sex, just sayin’.
The Insatiable Horny Widow
NSFW – but now considered “art” by many.
I love humanity.
Dude has manboobs. He needs a bro.
That cock is some wishful thinking by somebody.
My first thought was, “Ow.”
That’s a vote for “a dude drew that”
I’ve seen it work before.
I’m just now learning about a Reddit community called r/HermanCainAward.
This is a subreddit devoted to announcing that certain people have died of COVID-19, à la Herman Cain. According to the subreddit’s About section, “Nominees have made public declaration of their anti-mask, anti-vax, or Covid-hoax views, followed by admission to hospital for Covid. The Award is granted upon the nominee’s release from their Earthly shackles.”
So much compassion.
They get to live with themselves and no amount of Ivermectin is gonna cure them.
They can rest peacefully knowing that they’ll be buried in their “Fuck Your Feelings” T-shirts.
Great. Now I’m gonna need a bigger tombstone.
What do you want on your Tombstone?
What is the award for people who fear monger about covid, then get it and get better?
Natural Immunity.
Not fair!
The Monty Python “I Got Better” Award ™.
Clearly, they don’t exist. It’s not convenient.
It’s clearly not as fun to gloat over the bodies of the living.
I hold 10kg dumbbells and do lunges with a twist and the end. Good to see some other options, Chafed.
I’m glad to help.
Who’s the twist?
See the ass eating comments upthread.
Now I want to rewatch Miller’s Crossing
Green Bay managed to hold it together. Good game.
I haven’t heard any SJW bullshit this weekend from the announcers nor on behalf of the NFL. I’m not sure but I think the anti-racism slogans at the back of the end zone are lower contrast than last season. Anyone else notice this?
Jeezus. If this is the positive take, it only reinforces my decision to completely ignore the NFL.
I didn’t even see that stuff…then again I’m in Double Vision.
Nope, but apparently my super power is to be able to watch sports and tune out commercials, commentators, and on-field signage. I pity those of you who lack this ability, must be like those people who can’t enjoy a movie if it shows a Pinto in 1978 but it’s painted in a color they didn’t use until 1981.
HA! The Pinto was of the discontinued in 80! You are the suck! You are of the not knowing of things, comrade!
But you can still buy a Pinto engine!

Or, you’re a liar and say things to get a reaction from people. ??♂️
Well, he’s not a liar.
You think he really has that super power?
Being oblivious? Yes.
He says he does. He can read a book and not care about its inaccuracies. WITCHCRAFT!
Why else would I say something? If you don’t expect a reaction then you’re just screaming into the void. Sure, some people (Brochetaward) like the sound of their own voice and will ramble on about nothing, but most people prefer more of a give and take interaction.
These ‘Next Gen’ football ‘stats’ are such bullshit. But, who am I to argue, it’s #SCIENCE.
Started back with a wee amount of carbs today; breaking my fast with oatmeal so as to reduce cholesterol. My tummy has been angry about it and is not shy about letting me know.
America’s Test Kitchen just told me I’ve been doing my ribeyes wrong. I get a cast iron skillet really hot, S&P the steak, drop a pat of butter into the pan, and sear (usually under a cast iron weight) for 2 1/2 minutes per side, remove to plate, apply large pat of butter, tent with foil and let rest for a few minutes. ATK says place seasoned steak into a cold skillet, then put skillet onto the fire, flipping meat every two minutes until both sides are seared. I’ll give their way a go in the morning, but my way is pretty near perfect – crispy fat edges, flavorful crusty sear, pink to purple center… damn, now I’m hungry again.
Don’t change your way if you like it and it works.
BTW, after a long go at low-carbing, grain in general tore my innards apart. It’s been many years between me and my last day of religious adherence, but oatmeal and rice still carve me up.
Food writers are no different these days than political writers, they both tend not to know what the hell they are talking about.
ATK aren’t “food writers” – they literally test things, quite a bit, aiming for a consistent result.
l0b0t had a technique that works well for him, which is awesome. ATK is aiming for people who aren’t happy with their current results.
They may test it, but that doesn’t mean they test it well. I’m familiar with them, and while they may be better than most food writers, they are, like most ‘journalists’, not scientific in their results.
+1 Jump To Conclusions Mat
What scientific results are you looking for from their recipe testing? What are their failings when it comes to their testing?
The results are, perforce, subjective. You may disagree with their conclusions but claiming they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about is a bit much.
I’ve heard Covid takes peoples taste away. But what about reaction to spices? I have had some mild throat irritation. No runny or stuffy nose, no loss of taste, but nothing seems spicy right now. Made chili with the Ghost Peppers Sean sent me and it turned out rather mild to me. Put half a bottle of habanero hot sauce on my meal at the mexican restaurant yesterday and it didn’t do much for me. Cooked up some hot sauce with said Ghost Peppers, jalipenos and habeneros and when I took a dab it didn’t seem spicy. I BLAME COVID! *screams at the sky, it echoes in the distance*
no loss of taste, but nothing seems spicy right now
I’m not a doctor but this seems contradictory.
In all seriousness smell was the thing that I noticed, and there was no question about it, it was really very odd having no sense of smell, I have heard some people never get it back and that would be horrible.
I lost some of my sense of taste after my daughter was born and some things smelled awful, like chocolate and apple juice. They smelled rancid. I couldn’t wear my perfume for years. It finally went away, but it was well after my son was born, maybe 5 years or so.
Lots of zinc will destroy your sense of smell. Regular Zicam use has been shown to do that.
@CPRM, spices get less spicy as you age. It’s one way you lose your sense of taste.
Maybe you’re ready to step up to reaper level heat?
I missed the burger/cheese talk in the previous article. I would like to say that y’all are all wrong but simultaneously, y’all are all correct. Let 1000 flowers bloom; almost every cheese is good for burgering. Burgers, omelets, & grilled-cheese sammiches are the only times I might employ the American cheese; my son will eat that stuff by the slice. For a burger, I often go for a combo of Havarti and sharp cheddar, or that 6 cheese Mexican blend from Sargento.
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.
Cooper.
Sharp.
American.
This ain’t rocket science, people.
Never noticed it but I’ll keep an eye open.
I only watched the very end of the Chiefs game today, but I noticed they were using that iPhone fake focus shit, I really hope that doesn’t catch on, it’s fucking annoying. (iPhone uses ‘AI’ to blur the background to attempt to look like it’s using a better lens than it has, but it just looks like someone just learned how to use the Blur tool in photoshop instead of how a real lens works)

Ugh.
“If convicted, he could be sentenced to 514 years in prison.”

“We must make an example of him.”
Mornin’ Globbies! Meghan Kelly’s pod-cast is really good! Not just because I am simping for her. She’s purty and all but nearly my age. She’s a smart cookie.
Dana Perino must be older than God and Judge Jeanine has been taking the same drugs prescribed for Cher.
Good morning, Fes! And Sean and TARDy, and good afternoon, limey, if you’re still about.
Back to work today! I shudder to think about the number of voice messages and e-mails waiting for me, but it’s payroll posting day, so that takes precedence over all else. At least that’s my excuse.
sup’ pimp-juice
Good morning, homey! So far ::vigorously knocks wood:: the commute route looks accident-free, with just the never-ending construction never ending.
Being old and white, of course I have WLW on. The news is non-stop about the truckers threatening to shut down interstates. No mention of Dayton that Ive heard.
They sent me another “don’t stick the fork in the outlet” video last night. I’m choosing to disregard. Don’t grab ass, don’t stand atop a step ladder and don’t shut your phone off under any circumstances,,. Buttplugs.

Then two more days off for Succos Part II.

Leaves turning! It’s a good one this year.
I found a copy of Windows 11 from which all the TPM and SecureBoot nonsense has been stripped. After taking the kids to schools, I think I will take a stab at messing up my computer for a few days.
Ah, the “ALL YOUR DATA ARE BELONG TO US!!!” version.
Supposed to be in the nineties for the first half of the week.
This Indian Summer needs to fuck off already.
We’re at the awful open the windows and throw on a sweater in the morning but turn the AC back on by noon point of the year.
At least we get to open the windows.
The last couple days were nice, though. Today might be back to that shit.
Pretty decent so far, 52 degrees American.
Yeah, we’re not quite there yet. Still warm all day and night(IMHO) here. I’m just tired of working out in it. I’ve been sweating my ass off everyday since May. Ready for Autumn days between the 50-70 degree range.
Clammy and cold up here. Rain and earwigs.
The only place I’ve encountered earwigs was Ft. Ord, California. They were crawling all over the rifle ranges and, having never before seen such a thing, scared the Devil out of me.
They like to eat when the moths are plentiful. Apparently they like to feed upon the pupae. It’s fucking gross. I still leave alive the household spiders.
*looks up image*
Gah! Da fuck is that? Looks like it has a scorpion claw growing out of its ass.
They’re harmless but disgusting. Always found in the least possible place that you’d want to see one. Much like a Festus.
Who writes these things?
To be honest, I don’t want to meet the person who is passionate about standardization.
They invented the metric system.
HRpies?
Heh good one
I’m doing my initial survey of what sort of job listings are out there, and keep getting more convinced I have no marketable skills.
I’d bet you have a lot more going for you than you give yourself credit for.
Hell, I’m not even sure I’m qualified to do my job.
Where does one learn to do the management planning side of the house?
That’s ignoring the state-specific paperwork about which there is no instruction but is now my responsibility to know what it is, what needs to be filled out, and how to fill it out and file it.
Showing up is like 50%.
Not being dumber than a politician gets you at least another 25%.
The last 25% you can fake.*
Both of my new hires showed up today. 🙂
*may not apply to sciencey related fields.
Are we talking “Guam might tip over” politicians? Or the likes of Caesar and Otto Bismark?
Anyone currently in office. I guess we can exempt Rand and maybe DeSantis*.
*Still has plenty of time to disappoint.
I’m still waiting for my newbie. HR be slow, yo.

Would you not sue against a potential court ruling that would cost you billions?
Of course. And to be fair, they’ve been down this road already with Kirby. It’s just that being a Florida native, I have a weird love/hate relationship with the thing that metastasized out of Walt’s dream.
I’d probably float in the Billions rather than being such a cunte about it but my last name ain’t Disney.

Hah! Just saw a Coppertone lotion in the bathroom at SPF 50. The world has changed and right quickly! When I was a youngster we used to slather on that “Tropic” stuff. Hell, we actually used corn oil to tan faster.
Indeed. When the highest SPF was 15 – https://youtu.be/PIICARbcYpI
Now we all gonna die.
Hah, indeed. Remember this? (May be NSFW in our enlightened modern world even though the repressive 50’s did not have an issue)

Why would you want a tan?
To get laid?
You sun-privileged sicken me.
That shit could have saved me from a zillion childhood episodes of my entire back bubbling up.
Are you a Mogwai?
This morning’s bit of love from the State of NY.
New York won’t extend unemployment benefits to healthcare workers fired over COVID-19 vaccine mandate
“Get jabbed, we’ll continue to pay you to sit on your ass”
Assuming this will be extended to all wrongthinkers soon.
My thoughts too.
Good Morning Gibs.
Reading the comments i guess the consensus is not to eat ass for breakfast.
Yea, its a Monday. Lets see what breaks.
“the consensus is not to eat ass for breakfast”
Yeah, I’ve always considered it more of a late night snack myself.
Sure, why not? You’re going to wake up with poo breath anyway.
Oh yeah, because it’s disgusting that’s why not.
Yup. Leave the * alone. That’s all.
You’ve got to lick it before you stick it.
I’ve eaten more ass than rectal cancer.
Monday for you. Im off tonight so this is kinda my Friday, which I suppose makes 2200h-0600h my Saturday. Or something.
Im just drinking as fast as I can.
I was worried I imbibed too much yesterday, but I started early and went to bed on time so I’m good.
Hearing nothing about mandates. Good?
Stretching is always good.
Monday links are for Monday. I’m walking away. Just walking away.
