Saturday evening cephalopod links

by | Sep 18, 2021 | Daily Links | 208 comments

This feller seems just about right.

Can you believe that Tonio has never experienced the joys of slapping a live octopus on his crotch and letting it go to town? Talk about a sheltered life.

 

Hey! The country has gone to hell in a hand basket. The American experiment is over, and it’s now a free for all. All we have do to confirm it is delve into, the links!

 

Sad trombone.There are many people disappointed at the lack of violence.

 

Head on desk.

 

You reap what you sow, pudding cup.

 

Nothing to see here, move along. These are Top. Men.

 

Yet nobody talks about the J&J vaccine, made with established technology.

 

There is way too much shared DNA in this story.

 

Fuck. You. In. The. Ass. With. A. Rusty. Chainsaw.

 

I’ll just leave this here and move on with my evening.

    Is it too hard to write “anti-political prisoner”?

    • Ownbestenemy

      That is top notch propaganda

    The Biden administration is aiming to bolster the Internal Revenue Service by adding bank account reporting requirements to Democrats’ massive tax and spending bill, prompting a swift backlash from Republicans who have warned it infringes on customers’ privacy.

      That’s exactly what I was thinking.

      Tomorrow at noon there will be a stampede of hungry Glibs when the lady announces that the Honey Harvest food is ready to eat.

      If you took those right wing protesters, added 30 lbs around the middle and half a head of gray hair you’d recognize a Glib meet up.

        “Ivermectin! Get your hot, fresh Ivermectin HEEEERRRRE!” cried one agent selling bootleg Ivermectin tablets from Tractor Supply Company. Unfortunately, he only made a couple of sales to a few other FBI agents from other field offices he didn’t recognize.

    People do this? On purpose? I mean, outside of Hillary in a SugarFree story? I am so naïve.

    • Ted S.

      Apparently, Spudalicious does it.

    From rhywun’s link in the now dead thread, i discovered this cesspit of taxpayer dollars.

    https://m.usbg.gov/about-us

    Nothing. Left. To. Cut.

    Oh, and it’s closed to the public because the non-attached capitol building is also closed. The grounds are also closed today because those rioters!

    • Trigger Hippie

      Botanic Gardens are the backbone of this nation.

    • rhywun

      Can they close the Capitol building permanently? It’s not like anybody does any work there.

      • Raven Nation

        Actually, the problem is they DO work there – to screw over the people .

    ‘”Imagine a taxpayer who reports $10,000 of income; but has $1 million of flows in and out of their bank account,” the administration said in a memo to congressional Democrats this week.’

    Imagine a strawman and a stupid one at that.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Imagine an employer that reports 5000 and they make 7000! The humanity!

      This is going to devastate my wife’s business

      • Trigger Hippie

        Look, it’s neccessary to punish “rich” people like you and your wife for not giving your fair share. Sux it, richer.

        Seriously though, sorry to hear that.

    The J&J is a viral vector vaccine, which isn’t exactly established technology like using attenuated viruses. First approved for Ebola in 2019.

    • Spudalicious

      Thanks for the info! I like to have the correct stuff. I still trust it more than mRNA vaccines.

  9. Ghostpatzer

    I am temporarily deranged, having just spent an entire afternoon at an outdoor beer garden on Bell Blvd in Queens. I believe I am suffering from sun brain and am half deaf from 110 decibel shitty Irish music accompanying the half- St.Patrick’s day (which is apparently a thing now) festivities. Sadly I had no beer or spirits to help ease my discomfort.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Only way to tolerate shitty irish music is beer or whisky

      • Ghostpatzer

        Redheads also work (h/t Yusef).

      • Ownbestenemy

        That I can agree to

    • Nephilium

      It’s not uncommon here. Nor are Christmas in July festivities.

      We like excuses to drink.

      • Ghostpatzer

        I was not aware that excuses were required. The things I learn here.

      • Nephilium

        It helps those who haven’t fully committed to the idea that day drinking is alright.

      • Spudalicious

        Neph knows what’s what.

      • rhywun

        I’ve mentioned it before, but day drinking is a waste for me. It just puts me to sleep and then I can’t drink at a proper time like night.

        Haven’t done it in many, many years.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Who determines when the proper time is?

      • rhywun

        God or the spaghetti monster of your choice.

      Your goddamn right it did. I ate one during basic after the classic TX ice storm and we were ordered to turn in the heaters for the lols.

      And people wonder why I hate the government.

        I hated and still hate the smell of MRE heaters. Any component that was decent hot, was better cold. Except for the rice side.

    “Nothing to see here, move along. These are Top. Men.”

    As one who has to jump through hoops to own financial assets thanks to various regulators and laws, munis and the like aren’t really the issue. It’s private issues and equities. And it’s the congress critters that are the prime offenders as they are pretty much exempt from real scrutiny.

    Telling some guy that works at the fed that he can’t put money in munis in the state he lives in is a perfect example of seeming like FedGov is being tough while once again letting the real assholes off scott free.

  14. grrizzly

    After seven days in LA where nobody even asked me to put on a mask despite visiting multiple stores, I decided to entertain myself by going to the stronghold of COVID fascism–Costco. Mask check at the entrance. I said I wouldn’t put on a mask and pushed my cart inside the store. A female employee started yelling “Sir, Sir” and with a great effort caught up with me. I told her as well “No mask.” She started saying but “it’s a private property.” I guess this argument works on some. Not on me. They are actually enforcing the mask mandate imposed by the county. I was shopping for a few things while hearing around me the employees on their walkie talkies saying “he’s going to aisle 19” and so on. Finally, a manager showed up with a face shield. I refused to wear it as well. I made it to the registers where the same manager told me he wouldn’t let me pay for the stuff. He tried to empathize with me by saying he didn’t like masks himself and found them uncomfortable. I wear them so rarely and for such a brief period of time that I cannot even claim that masks are uncomfortable. Then he threatened to cancel my membership. I called him a mask Nazi and a collaborator. He appeared personally offended. Then I mocked his mask wearing skills when his mask slipped under his nose. He said he would call the police. At that point I left the store and continued my drive to a beach.

      *starts googling LA area media for bear in grocery store video*

      • Gustave Lytton

        Did you get perishables that they’d have to unshop right away?

      • grrizzly

        I got perishables at Sam’s Club the other day. I wanted to buy their Costco champagne, which is pretty solid considering the price. Sam’s Club used to have their own champagne. It wasn’t as good as Costco’s and I haven’t seen it since last year.

      • Ted S.

        Ah, to be in a state that sells wine and liquor at the grocery store.

      • grrizzly

        Unfortunately, not enough.

    • rhywun

      OFFS. They are nothing if not true to stereotype.

    • R.J.

      It’s LA! Just pull down your pants and start shitting in the aisle. Everyone will just assume you are homeless and hence excluded from silly laws around mask mandates and shoplifting. Help yourself to a pack of free toilet paper on the way out.

      • rhywun

        And a widescreen television.

      • Chafed

        RJ gets it.

    • KSuellington

      I admire your willingness to take it to that level.

      • The Hyperbole

        HIs willingness to confront Walmart greeters? I’d admire his resolve if he went to the people that actually enacted this shit and gave them a boatload of shit, some poor schlub at the circle K? not so much.

      • grrizzly

        We’re in this shit not because of Fauci or the governors but because of people like you who meekly or enthusiastically comply and then act like Karen to those few who choose to be insufficiently obedient.

      • The Hyperbole

        I’ve lived my life more or less exactly as I did before this bullshit, I’ve never expected or demanded anyone to act in any way than that they didn’t want to, never “karened” anyone, but if it helps assuage your failure to live up to your own standards, to attack me instead of the people that you are actually at war with , fine I’ll take it.

      • grrizzly

        Actually, I have no regrets about my own conduct. Unfortunately, there are many people I think less of now. I can assure you you’re not of them.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Yeah, I don’t know what the answer here is, but being an asshole to random employees who have been told they need to enforce masking or get fired does nothing except tell the employees that anti-mask people are assholes.

      • grrizzly

        The time to be real assholes about masks was a year ago. Instead you complied. Now you have mandatory vaccines, boosters, vaccines passports, people losing their jobs. But at least nobody thought you were impolite when you agreed to all of it.

      • Loveconstitution1789

        That is the fallacy of “just following orders”. Employees are hapless victims of the system that forces them to do something that is abnormal.

        Wearing masks outside of a hospital is abnormal.forcing others to mask up is abnormal.

        As to companies being private and having the right to refuse service because they have a mask mandate. Fuck that! Companies made their beds with accommodation laws and siding with the fascists in government to violate the rights and wellbeing of Americans. We have crony capitalism system in the USA for corporations, so they dont have the same protections that a partnership or single proprietorship business has. Dont like it, take your corporation private and buy back my stock.

        I guarantee that if a forced mask customer falls over dead from carbon dioxide/monoxide poisoning, companies will demand the govt protect them from liability.

    Hiya peeps!

    I hope all of you are well.

    I’m sitting on the patio listening to this fantastic album.

    I’m bummed that I won’t be at HH tomorrow, but I’m happy that my daughter came over to see the dogs (and me?) this afternoon.

    What’s happening there?

  16. KSuellington

    One old fashioned consumed, now moving onto the Sierra Nevada. Lifted some weights, went to the kid’s soccer game, got a new dvd connected so I can watch the entire series of Magnum and Miami Vice that I just ordered and the kids can watch their Tom and Jerry and Bugs dvds. I even managed to make it to the archery field to shoot for an hour while the wife had the kids at a swim lesson. I got a lot of work done this week. I had a job where a guy killed himself and then melted into the floor for two months before they found him. The body was gone when I got there, but the smell was not. Just brutal, it looked like a tar puddle next to the front door. I had a dryer sheet in my mask and was still gagging several times.

    • Tundra

      Uh.

      Great on the first part.

      Are you fucking kidding me on the last. I would burn the fucking place down.

      How do you clean that disaster?

      • KSuellington

        It was top five worst easily I’ve been to for smell and I’ve been in many crime scenes and hoarder situations. I imagine it will be ripped to the studs to get the smell out. He was a hoarder who was also a recluse (except for Asian prostitutes that would come by sometimes according to the neighbor). The guy was saving shit like used Kleenex in ziploc bags with dates on them and weird, weird shit. Luckily I only had to spend about ten minutes inside securing the place. I can only imagine how shitty the clean up job would be. I can’t imagine charging less than 20k to do it.

      • KSuellington

        Heheh, yeah indeed. Sorry to have to unload that mental picture but it was one of those weeks. Not all bad, but definitely heavy.

      • Tundra

        Fine with me. The actual disaster is less interesting to me than the ‘how do you fix it’?

        There was a business near me that specialized in that work. Insane

      • KSuellington

        If they rip the carpet out there is probably some real nice hardwood floor underneath. Seriously, I imagine that the subfloor in the living room near the front door would have to come out where he ended up. The entire house will undoubtedly be ripped to the studs. My brother actually lives in a house that was also in my top 5 for disgustingness. They were 400 lb garbage hoarders that let a dog shit all over. Six foot high piles of take out rotting everywhere. My buddy that does hauling couldn’t make it five minutes in there. The guy that cleaned it charged 12 grand and this was several years back. The rats had a rat problem. It is absolutely amazing now.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        He was a hoarder who was also a recluse (except for Asian prostitutes that would come by sometimes according to the neighbor).

      How do you melt into the floor?

      • KSuellington

        When you die and no one finds you for a couple months the decomposition process gets pretty advanced.

        Thanks Tox, I will check that out! I have seen a fair bit of very weird and terrible shit. It’s spread out over time, some of the worst of it was when I was 17 to 20 working for my dad. SF had a whole lot more of that sort of thing back then. Every day I try to be grateful for the life I have.

    • Zwak, jack off, all trades

      Yeah, that happened, to a slightly lesser degree, in my rental. And yes, it comes out of the cleaning deposit, and whatever is left gets put against whatever money they leave behind. But, probate is a long time, and having a rental sit is not cheap.

      I am now waiting with money out of pocket.

  17. Mojeaux

    Cat is found! I have never before seen a cat with a 1,000-yard stare. He must have seen some shit.

    • Hyperion

      It’s a cat. If it’s an inside outside cat, this is what they do. I had a cat disappear for 6 months only to reappear all fat and sassy.

      • Mojeaux

        He has never not come when he was called, and he was gone over 24 hours. He was scared and trembling when he got home.

      • rhywun

        Aw! Glad he is home.

      • Hyperion

        One of my cats disappeared for 6 months. He’d never been missing for even a single day. He was fat and sassy when last seen and fat and sassy when seen again. Seriously, he had it all. A 3400 sq ft basement all of his own. 2 other cats for company. The best food and care money could buy. 26 acres of outside playground. And he just disappeared for 6 months. Just sayin…

      • rhywun

        When I was a kid we had a gal disappear and return a few months later very pregnant. Smart kitty.

      • Hyperion

        I remember one night standing at my sink, I think doing dishes. And I thought I heard a meow. Now, you know, I thought he was dead. It got louder and I walked over to the dining room and looked out the patio doors and the bastard was standing there on my deck. I opened the door and he pranced in like he owned the place, completely ignored me and pawed at the door to the basement to get downstairs. Later that night he came to my bedroom, got on the bed, and wanted to cuddle. Cats are asshoe.

      • Mojeaux

        Cats are asshoe.

        That’s one reason I love them.

    • Toxteth O'Grady

      Yay! ?

    • Tundra

      Did it just show up on your doorstep?

      • Mojeaux

        Don’t know. I’m downstairs in my office. I’m going to assume My Dude went out to call him again and made himself known.

      • Tundra

        NIce!

        Happy you got him back!

      • Trigger Hippie

        My guess is he got treed by some coyotes.

    • KSuellington

      Heheh, good kitty. Glad he is back for you.

      • KSuellington

        We had a music teacher when I was a young kid that would do the most amazing rousing version of that on her guitar. I can still close my eyes and have a perfect image of her pausing before hitting the chorus.

    • Gender Traitor

      Oh, thank goodness! Is he receptive to cuddling? If so, be sure to give him plenty…and/or copious amounts of catnip!

    • Chafed

      Glad he is home.

  18. Ghostpatzer

    He must have seenkilled some shit. He is a cat, right?

    Glad he’s back.

    • Mojeaux

      I have had to lecture him endlessly on not killing cardinals. The rest of them, I don’t care about. The corvids and raptors don’t give a rat’s ass about him.

  19. The Bearded Hobbit

    Found a JC HIggins .22 at the gun show today and discovered that it is actually a Marlin Model 80, so I’m pleased as hell. It is in VG-E shape for a firearm of its vintage.

    Also found a M&P Shield Plus for less than I bought its little brother for about two years ago.

    First time a gun show has come to the area for over 1.5 years. Crowds were huge.

    Octopus’s Garden is about performing oral sex on a woman person with a front hole, correct?

    I recall my cousin insisting this to be the case, but he’s kind of a nutcase and I’m not into The Beatles enough to either confirm or deny.

    • slumbrew

      It’s true.

      Also, Brown Eyed Girl is about anal sex.

      Weird. Did you figure out the problem?

      • rhywun

        Apparently, it is a thing that some Region A discs will only play in Region A machines. Which is pretty much exactly the message on the screen when I put the fucking thing in.

        Wish I knew that before I put the Xbox away the other day. Now I have no idea what portion of my collection I can’t watch.

      • UnCivilServant

        So your side effects are either hyperlinking troubles, or the cutting off people’s heads in photographs.

    My long-suffering husband had been virtually house hunting for weeks. He is very tired of metal wall signs “Gather. Eat” or “Live. Laugh. Love.” .”Family” So he had one custom made.

    Not sure if the realtor will OK it for this house, but it’s definitely going up in the new house…

      I still have to figure out how to get one of those regarding laundry off the wall. They’re all annoying.

      My wall decorations are things like the declaration of independence and my college diploma, both of which are in frames and will come with me when I move.

      Permanantly affixing this crap to the wall… *shakes head*

      • UnCivilServant

        Oh, you said metal signs.

        my issue is some sort of decal up behind the washing machine. Even if a chemical treatment will release the adhesive, it’s an awkward spot to reach.

      • hayeksplosives

        Just add a couple of words to make it truly awkward.

    • Gender Traitor

      Conspicuously absent: “Flush.”

      • UnCivilServant

        “Ya can’t flush that, it’d ruin the drains”

      • hayeksplosives

        Ok, that’s funny.

      • rhywun

        Appropriate, with Hoarders on now.

      • Gender Traitor

        Please, oh please tell me the current subject doesn’t hoard that! ?

      • rhywun

        Not intentionally.

    • Gender Traitor

      That’s wonderful! Am disappoint I can’t seem to locate it at Barnes & Noble’s website. ?

    • hayeksplosives

      That is hilarious.

      Today’s ray of hope from Britain.

    My CPAP machine decided to stop working this morning after I got up for a nature break.

    I came back to bed and pushed the button, but no air!! So I had to stand over it and read the message. It told me that the pump motor lifetime was up. (To be fair, it’s been warning me for months.)

    There is nothing wrong with the motor. This is literally planned and PROGRAMMED obsolescence.

    And now I can’t breathe or sleep. Nicely done, “medical” industry.
