On this day in 1968 people’s view of the Earth forever changes.

I ‘Member,
I was 11 when that shot was released. I wanted to grow up and work for NASA.
Thankfully, I didn’t.
1960s NASA for sure. Today’s NASA, agreed…screw that nonsense.
I remember that. I was a little kid (7), but I remember the Old Man showing me that photo on the front page of the little local newspaper.
10 years old, playing with my Major Matt Mason set I opened on Christmas Eve (we always got to open one prezzie Christmas Eve).
I had one of those! Major Matt Mason, wow. I had completely forgotten about that until you mentioned it.
I was busy gestating.
I imagine that in 1000 years, the only person from the 20th century who will be common knowledge is Neil Armstrong.
I was hoping Rick Astley would be the hallmark of the 20th century
It would be a positive thing for mankind to remember Neil Armstrong in a thousand years, and for only specialized scholars to remember Stalin, Mao, and biden.
I figure it’ll be Leo Carrillo of Freeport Long Island.
“What? You think I was always in the shingle business?”
I love you so much H. Merry Christmas.
Not Tom Carvel ?
Cookie Puss may still be around.
Is that what Jugsy calls it?
In the past… a man walked on the moon, and his name was Army Neilstrong.
Its name…don’t misgender your misgender.

I sicken myself…
So sick you forgot how to link? ?
Maybe it was planned?!?!
Probably the lack of insulin.
This seems appropriate for this lot.
Or this.
This seems custom-crafted for us. My all-time Xmas favorite.
This one has become a fun favorite for me.
Don’t make me pull out the Blow Fly Christmas record again…

I’ve got a case of beer and a quart of whiskey to get me through the holidays.
I can feel a good one comin’ on.
Wife just rang me and said she found a $5700 bottle of Pappy VanWinkle just up the street from the house. Apparently, Nevada doesn’t get shipments. Tempting, but no…
Oh, man… Yeah, that’s a Brewster’s Millions type purchase for sure.
There was a tiny devil on my shoulder that said “the kids don’t need a car…” for half a second.
I was thinking a Perfect storm talking about Marky’s stache,

Friday Funbags wants to hurry down the chimney tonight.

While i thought the grinch was cute, i have to say, sometimes less is more.
Gotta get up early tomorrow to get the smoker ready for the brisket. It is just the flat, so shouldn’t be an all day smoke. Festivities start tonight and through the rest of the year.
I’m too drunk to make the roast and such; tomorrow it is. Also, I’m really craving one of those New Mexico tortilla burgers (and enjoying the Hell out of Ramsey eating wings). Can’t get good chilis here and I have no tortillas, so bacon cheeseburger it is.
Yeah I loved the dig at Bobby Flay.
Just got home from a great morning and afternoon with my friends. Breakfast at our typical Sat morning spot. Tipped the waitresses like we just won the lottery.
Headed to the gun shop Christmas party. Lots golf guys with guns eating and drinking. It’s great to walk in the gun shop and the first smell that hits you is beer.
Shot pun new guns with my best friend after the party. My friend just got a new python and I had my Sig 238.
Going to meet my family in a few hours for seafood and wine.
I hope you all are having a great day. Merry Christmas!!
Jesus the spell check really screwed that post up.
Checks the date…is it…Saturday?! Merry Christmas Timeloose!
It feels like Sat today.
Yesterday, my boss said it felt like Friday. With the work headaches I had going on, I told him it felt like Friday the 13th.

Jeez, what a mess, I noticed a lot of Fedex deliveries are going to be late,
Thankfully, everyone got the gifts I sent.
Dad’s getting his wine tomorrow.
Spent over $500 on steak n seafood for Christmas dinner for the whole family and now one of my daughters has covid. Says it feels like a head cold.
Oh well.
Lock her in the basement.
Ouch
The public response to this has been so screwed up, I no longer understand what is hyperbole and what is a legit concern. Somewhere between my personal belief that I am invincible and Toilet AIDS Fauci’s* fear-mongering is a common sense and ethical way to deal with it socially, but I swear I wouldn’t know what to do in your situation.
*Neph’s girlfriend came up with that and I thought it was hilarious.
Oh, and various Glibs’ responses to it have hazed the issue further.
You expect Glibs to agree on…well…anything??
I forgot where I am, apparently.
I hope she gets well soon.
Sometimes, 2021 delivers.

The fact he responded is the best. So which Glib is Jared from Oregon?
I’m looking at Gustave Lytton and Creosote Achilles.
I’ll bring this over from the dead thread:
Put the boot in
With take-home tests hard to find and testing demands creating long lines nationwide, other safety measures such as wearing N95 or KN95 masks while traveling for the holidays will be critical, said Dr. Esther Choo, associate professor at Oregon Health and Science University.
Flying has an increased risk due to a lack of vaccine requirement and an inconsistent adherence by some to fully keeping on their masks, such that “this could be a much safer activity than it currently is,” Choo told CNN’s Laura Coates on Thursday.
“Speak up when you see those around you not wearing masks. This is not a time to be polite and let people do what they feel like doing. It’s really about keeping everyone safe,” she said.
Okay, Karen. See something, say something. Those people are murderers. After all, everybody who flew without a mask a year ago died a horrible death.
Demonize those who do not agree with you. Punish them for their sins.
“This is not a time to be polite and let people do what they feel like doing.”
So i can groundswat the next busybody cunt who gives me shit?
I should think it obligatory.
An expert what? What is Dr. Choo an expert in?
Panic-mongering.
That is correct, sir!
According to her profile, she has an MD and an MPH. So not a medical research profile.
Her interests include “substance use disorders, violence, women’s health, health disparities, gender medicine, digital health, intervention development, and faculty development.”
Oh, and, not real surprising, she’s also ” Director of Recruitment, Equity and Inclusion, Department of Emergency Medicine.”
Not to be outdone, here is a Shepard of the Church, turning away the unclean.

I went to 2 supermarkets and 2 liquor stores today. There was noticeably less masking than the last couple of days. Also, nobody with a mask was hassling anyone without a mask. There was actually a great deal of small talk, Merry Christmas wishes, and banter regardless of muzzle status.

“Feed a cold,” right?
Dig in!
Jugsy has a runny nose.
Guess I filled her up.
How you retain that relationship is amazing.
Plenty of fluids. And work has her gone a lot.
There is something to absinth marking the heart fonder.
Or the better part of valor. Or valium.
Something like that.
Absinthe indeed.
Merry Christmas Riven, and thank you for the wonderful links you bring us. The Darkhorse purchase is kinda depressing. They are, to me, sort of like LEGO in that much of their product doesn’t interest me, but the sales of those things allows them to produce the niche products I do like.
It’s a Christmas Eve Zoom/Happy Hour/Celebrating this small oasis of sanity, I’ll kick it off at 20:00 Eastern.
I will likely be leaning into it pretty good by then, but will certainly drop in for a spell.
I have to work, but as you know, sometimes that means sitting around waiting for some. OTOH, it’s Friday night in an ER in Florida.
“Friday Night in a Florida ER” sounds like Sunrise in Texas.
Hmmm..maybe drop by
Ill try to remain cogent for the next 3 hours. Shipt brought me Milwaukee’s Beast ICE and not diet. The added 2% ABV is taking its toll.
I never could get the Zooms to work on my iPad.
I’ve been drinking. Some at the brewpub. Some at home.
Should be interesting.
Somewhat related. If there is interest, as I may not be around at the usual time tomorrow to kick off an event, I was contemplating setting up an all day Christmas Zoom for those who don’t have somewhere to go. I can turn off the meeting room, and pass at Co-Host and host duties to people who join to keep some semblance of order. Please let me know if there’s interest in this.
It would be weird to come and go as I please, but it might work.
I’ll be around and start one.
I will be deep into the original Scrooge (with Alistair Sim, natch) with friends by that time, but I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a New Year where Omicron infects everybody, hurts or kills no-one, and leaves everyone with permanent immunity so’s we can all tell the Fauxcis of the world to go Eff Themselves.
That’s not the original. There was a British version in the 1930s, and the MGM version in 1938, at least
And Ricardo Cortez was the ultimate Sam Spade.
I can’t remember if I linked this the other day but, I’m enjoying the Hell out of this documentary on hooliganism in the 2001 – 2002 season (I think it was an episode of Panorama).

Millwall!
WRT to the previous article on boots- have some Hillbilly Shoes.
Have some new shoes.
No.
I knew what that was before I clicked.
“Down, down to hell; and say I sent thee thither: I, that have neither pity, love, nor fear.”

Since no one took the bait last post . . . .
And I fucked it up
You meant this.
So, it’s now the brandy portion of the evening.
I have been gifted various cookies, a panettone, and a stollen. Any suggestions on which to cut into?
The schnecken beckons!
I ❤️ you so much, your Birdcage reference! ?
The girlfriend is depressed that none of her friends are willing to try stollen. She loves them, and I usually have to buy several when they’re on sale around here. We’ve got one left that will be brought to my sister’s house tomorrow.
So… go stollen!
What kind of weirdos don’t want to try cake? That’s crazy talk.
She tries to sell it as a variant on fruit cake. This is a sub-optimal strategy. Really, you just say this is a German traditional holiday dessert with marzipan in it and covered in powdered sugar.
Personally, I much prefer lebkuchen (who doesn’t like soft gingerbread cookies that are glazed with a thin layer of chocolate?).
It IS a fruit cake. Marzipan helps… but not enough. ?
Maybe they don’t want to partake of … ?… stollen goods.
Your GF needs new friends. Ones who aren’t jamtarts.
Anyone familiar with springele and pffernuss cookies? My mother used to foist them on us at Christmas. Pffernuss were o.k. but springeles were rock hard and teeth breakers with an anise flavor. Haven’t seen or heard of them in decades.
Got the wife a new refrigerator for Christmas.
I can’t wait to see her face light up when she opens it!
Can we get a narrowed gaze over here?
That’s a cool gift.
To a degree, yes, but as far as gifts go, I have seen crisper.
Ah man a refrigerator pun thread?
Its running away, try to catch up.
Chill out.
You mean when you let her out?
Charlie Brown Christmas.
🙂
I believe it’s called ‘Charlie Kwanzaa’.
Wife came home with Ardbeg Corryvreckan….Good bye good world…good bye!

I should have bought a Tavor 7 at the gun show.
Paying PA sales tax would have been worth it.
So far, no hits from NH gun shops.
Sounds like a market opportunity.
Three of us and the only one that walked out with a new gun was my gf.
Kinda shameful, really. ?
At least I found a couple goodies.
I know. I was too hung up on the sales tax.
It is fantastic. Peppery
Just watched “The Hebrew Hammer” this afternoon. Hilarious!
I watched it earlier as well. I was very happy with it.
I was less happy to see they’re working on a sequel. Promisingly named The Hebrew Hammer vs. Hitler, but the reason the Hammer goes back in time is due to the upswell of anti-semitism due to Trump. I may have to subject the girlfriend to some of the more… questionable movies in the next week:
Gingerdead Man… featuring Gary Busey! This actually has gotten sequels.
All The Creatures Were Stirring, looks to be in the theme of Christmas Horror Story, but I want to watch it before I recommend it.
Gary Drug Abusey.
Ps that album is excellent.
RJ told us last night that the funding for the sequel fell apart. Thank goodness.
I finished it earlier today.
It was excellent.
It ranks up with “Wolfcop”. I’m not sure which is better.
I have terrible news for the Glibertariat. The First That Will Change Everything will not be here by Christmas. I do not have a due date yet. I have had trouble finding a doctor who will see me because of discrimination. But it will come.
Try Canada.
I hear Cuba has excellent healthcare.
Grenada
The First That Will Change Everything deserves the very best medical treatment that money can buy.
An old saying about shitting or getting off the pot comes to mind.
Supply chain problems?
As from a couple days ago I’m alcohol free for medical reasons probably until January. Woo. Yeah.
Sorry, mang. :-(
Of course I hardly drink at all these days but of course if I ever want a drink now is the season.
Drink many Molsons for me, or whatever your choice beverage is.
Sorry. I will compensate for you tomorrow. Or maybe tonight.
?????
And I’m done wrapping/bagging.
???
Gotta go pick up some takeout Indian in 30 minutes.
Then my day is done.
Libertarian moment?
Freedom trying to peek out but will be hammered down moment.
Crickets.
We should be ashamed of ourselves.
I know.
On the other hand, the government never cracked down as hard as in those countries, so our incentives to push back were lower.
Stopping in to say Merry Christmas! Presents opened. Fun stuff. Luckily it falls on a Saturday so the kid doesn’t have school. (I still gotta work later). Hope you all have a great day and I appreciate all of you except that one guy.
Merry Christmas straf!
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rum. Drunk foursome FTW.
I’m doing the best I can!
Merry Christmas, straff. All the best to you and the fam!
Are you going to KFC?
Nah, that is just not Christmas. I’m making Chimichangas like God intended.
I see you took my recommendation from months back.
Pondering what Wisconnie Kururishimas would look like…
Merry Christmas!
Straf’s favorite present was the cock at the glory hole his favorite gent decorated with tinsle and a Christmas bow.
There are no atheists in a glory hole. “Oh my lord, what is THAT?”
I need to see her face
Hah hah! Thanks for living up to stereotypes. Noticed the time and thought “ah it’s Christmas, and Saturday, so yet another work day”.
Honestly, once the presents are open and the breakfast eaten, does it really matter if I work a few hours? I kind of like that way.
One week before Philly goes full commie like NYC. The sad part is that most of the people I know (can I call them friends??) are down with it.
You don’t have to go far to leave Philly and have normality.
I’m enjoying a Cherry Stout from the Proper Brewing Company in Quakertown. They stayed open when Wolf shut down restaurants last Christmas.
Nice. I don’t drive so I’m pretty limited. South and North Philly and some random center city places dgaf so they will get my business
That sucks. Hopefully you can skirt the rules. Gray and black markets are the way.
I got the shots in April but now I’m supposed to get the booster or I’m the evil. That’s not happening so I’ll see you in the camps I guess?? I’m not sure what to do. Feel like an alien
I am 100% unclean in NYC.
I didn’t eat or drink out much in the before times, I can wait for sanity to return.
It’s not coming back. The people I know in NYC who have FU money are bailing
Merry Christmas Straff!
You too, Yusef.
Some guy literally just asked me to point out an example of how the FDA broke its own rules concerning the COVID vaccines.
This guy works in biotech.
I can’t even.
I started with them allowing Pfizer and Moderna to blow up the control groups.
A minor oversight, nothing to see here.
Watching an adorable mockumentary The Secrets of Christmas Revealed. Very much in the format of aliens and Nostradamus shows.
The secret to everything in life is to be First.
I’ll bet you’re real popular with the girls.
Sure if girls = ladyboys.
Ha. I’ll be he’s the first and last in those situations.
No one – and I mean no one – calls me last.
The last of the original Firsters?
Oh and since it’s the 25th and I kind of forgot about it.
