I want to thank Samsung for creating their own collection of TV channels. If you have any Samsung device with a screen you can watch for free. They created a Baywatch channel. I believe in small government, but rather than defund NPR let’s take all their funding to ensure we have Baywatch in perpetuity. The plots are preposterous but no more preposterous than NPR’s version of the news. If we are going to subsidize something, it should be a show with impossibly beautiful people, unrelenting optimism, and dedicated to helping other people.
I admire the Canadian Freedom convoy. Those Canuckastani truck drivers must be beyond fed up. I don’t know if Poutine Boy will actually do something but there is a chance these guys may be on the receiving end of the Ottawa police force. Why didn’t our truck drivers think to do this in some blue hellhole like NYC or Chicago?
A year ago, I was writing about the blue-on-blue political violence (words are violence, right?) concerning covid restrictions and school closures. I thought the end of all covid related restrictions was near. I was obviously wrong. I no longer have any idea what will make the covid pornographers conclude it is time to go on with life.
I’m recycling this song from a year ago. It seems oddly appropriate for the Canadian truckers.
What’s going on today?
True crime and cross stitching #FTW!
True crime viewing or creating?
Also, I assume you are watching Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez “Only Murders in the Building” right? It is about actual murder but also about murder aficionados.
Fantastic series
*gasp* I totally forgot I wanted to see that! THANK YOU for reminding me!
Oh. Hulu. ?
I heard it is something involving American football. I don’t keep track of American football. The real stars of the show are the female cheerleaders. They aren’t shown prominently enough in my opinion.
Long walk, car wash, getting ready to grill.
Grueling, really.

For some strange reason, the youth orchestra always schedules concerts on Superbowl Sunday.
So I’m recording that instead of gorging on guacamole right now.
The conductor is a little bit irritable today. In think he may want to be at home too.
When I was there he church council head in Minnesota (don’t laugh) I made sure that our annual congregational meeting to approve budgets and confirm officers was alway scheduled for the weekend before the Super Bowl.
Pastor was a football fan himself but never had done the math or understood why the attendance was so low. I handled it for him for ten years.
He apparently fucked up this year, according to my buddies from there.
That’s pretty obtuse.
I meant to convey that when he scheduled it prior to my arrival, he either put it on the conference championship days (NFC and AFC) or on the Super Bowl itself.
Well, duh. Those are goi g to be “lightly attended” days. But the weekend prior to thr stoopid bowl has no NFL action at all, thus the perfect timing, lots of attendance and enough quorum to change rules if needed.
The only rule they ever changed was to eliminate the term limits so that I could continue as council chair in perpetuity.
People who schedule things over major sporting events are usually assholes. Sometimes, I suppose, they just didn’t think about it.
I don’t even really care about the Super Bowl unless the Steelers are in it. This is about principle. No, Karen, I don’t want to attend your wedding on Super Bowl Sunday.
Good song, from a punk band who could actually play their instruments.
It’s funny, to me, to hear people say that about punk bands. There were definitely some that fit the mold. Plenty could play. I always think of the Sex Pistols. Steve Jones and Paul Cook could play in any rock band. Glen Matlock was a competent bass player. Sid Vicious didn’t know what he was doing. That’s not unlike plenty of bands.
I’m glad you like the music.
I guess I’m thinking more of the hardcore bands that came later. Another punk band that could really play was the Dead Kennedys.
East Bay Ray could really shred on guitar. Another unsung punk great was Poison Ivy Rorscharch. She could really tear it up and indeed wrote all the music for The Cramps.

The Descendents have one of the best rhythm sections in the business. I would say that the vast majority of the punk or punk/pop bands I listen to are extremely capable musicians.
He could play, but Bill Stevenson was a total douchebag.
Obscure punk band that had amazing chops: Tot Rocket and the Twins.

Thanks! Will be watching that!
Good grief. The show starts with a big promo for all the inclusivity that the AF is doing. Including maternity flight suits.
I was going to flip over by 6:30 or so… I figure the game might be going by then.

I’m phoning it in today. Most of you are already drunk. So, this will be a glorified open post populated by my brain farts.
Drunk? I have not yet begun to drink.
On a serious note, I actually have not had any alcohol today. Though I am heading out to a weekly liberty meet-up later tonight.
I want to thank Samsung for creating their own collection of TV channels. If you have any Samsung device with a screen you can watch for free. They created a Baywatch channel.

Baywatch has boobs that people want to look at. Can NPR say that too?
Why didn’t our truck drivers think to do this in some blue hellhole like NYC or Chicago?
There is a convoy in the works for the US. The Northeast organizers are specifically avoiding NYC. The stated reason is tolls. Getting one truck through NYC and down the Jersey Turnpike to DC will cost about $100 in tolls. Congestion and the possibility of a much heavier handed response from the police than what we’ve seen in Canada were not stated but probably also factors.
The Canuckistani police are already getting ready for a strike on the truckers when the truckers leave. I saw a news article on CTV News that the Ontario police are going to look to yank licenses from truckers taking part in the protest.
Weight is up. I had too many indulgences last week. 274.4 lbs.
Next week, if the weather is good, I will be in PA for a swing dance. If that trip happens, no check-in from me next week unless I get back early.
Thereby extending any ill consequences and assuming the blame for them.
That’s great police work there, Lou.
“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”
That’s the problem, the truckers have a lot to lose
That is the problem in general. People still go back to pretty comfortable lives. People will endure a lot of tyranny when they have big screen TV’s, smart phones, near endless amounts of entertainment, and an abundance of food.
People can debate where the line where violence becomes justified is. We currently live in some bizarro world where left wing mobs can freely engage in violence against their fellow citizenry while nominally protesting racism in policing and the government while being cheered on by most of the media and funded by large corporations. This has been deemed socially acceptable.
But people to the right of the protesters can’t even gather in a noisy and inconvenient manner without being smeared as fascists and being threatened with retaliation.
If the left wing violence was justified, I think violence against the state actors supporting covid restrictions is more than justified, personally.
Did they drop the mask bullshit for the dance? Or was that MA?
The mask, vaccine, and pre-dance quarantine bullshit is for the Boston dance, which has restarted after their pause.
The dance in PA started up in defiance of Wolf’s orders. No mask or vaccine requirements. If you are sick, stay home. I know some folks that attend the dance received the Covid-19 vaccine, but they don’t seem to care if others haven’t. Only twice have I seen people wear masks, and those folks are in the very tiny minority.
Fuck yeah. Have fun!
Thanks!
I’m hoping for good weather unlike last time.
Most of you are already drunk.
Yes, why of course.
Don gets it.
the only thing I’ll get right today
“The Canuckistani police are already getting ready for a strike on the truckers when the truckers leave”
Yeah, one of the demands from day one should be “no retaliation”.
It would take a lot more bodies to do that.
I think it’s a couple of factors
1) the restrictions in the US have varied widely, but almost all are far less than Canadian ones both in severity and duration
2) any protests would and have been tarred as fascist uprisings and the state’s brownshirts (antifa) have been let free to harass them. See pretty much any protest, including the covid ones in CA.
3) 1/6 imprisoned a lot of would be agitators and sent a message to the rest
4) a large part of how it worked was that the amount and breadth of support was unexpected
well put
What is weird is the expectation in some quarters that a populist, labor-centered reaction would have shape or center or accomplish much. There is a core of central notion that I applaud, a more useful thing than so many million pussy hats chanting in circles, and yet it’s not going to matter: if some jurisdictions would yield, it is because they were going to anyway; if they were not near yielding before, they are no closer now.
The idea that government has over-reached has hardly occurred to anyone but the reactionary; he will be satisfied when government overreach returns to the correct points and when his enemies are again properly targeted instead of himself.
I’m going to watch the game while I do homework. I’m still a little salty about the AFC Championship I still enjoy entertaining football.
As far as the freedom convoy and COVID hysteria I really do feel like there are large portions of this country living in two different worlds. I think the last time I wore a mask was briefly during a meeting back in October. It’s been voluntary since at least Halloween. General mandates went away months ago. I don’t even know when they officially started or stopped because no one really enforced them in any businesses I go to. No one asks about vaccination status and our school board has opted to cease contact tracing for positive test results. I read the news and just shake my head.
As far as GlibFit, 5.09 trail miles today in barefoot shoes. Average pace was 9:13/mile. I did a few sets of pullups and burpees in my backyard yesterday while wearing a 40lbs(ish) backpack. My knees are letting me hear about it today but nothing bad enough to even think about taking something for the pain.
Fuck off, Tulpa?
Sounds like paradise. Meanwhile, I’ve had to don a mask nearly every day since March 2020, with no end in sight, COVID passports to dine in or attend an event with no end in sight, and soon they will be redefining vaxed to include boosters – with no end in sight. Kids are still masked in school and half the people around here mask outdoors. This shit will never end.
Huh, sounds like Oregon.
I mean, sounds like Oregon in the Willamette Valley. No one else does this shit.

Our weekend getaway wrought havoc upon my alleged GlibFitness, between the delicious and generously-portioned meals in the state park lodge and the largely sleepless nights in a room with an overenthusiastic heater. Maybe making up for the backsliding will create the illusion of progress! ?
As for the game, my fondest hope is that the Bengals acquit themselves honorably and refrain from getting their asses handed to them.
I made a mistake. I’m on a clear-liquid (other than 3 protein shakes per day), low-carb diet before pet ulcer surgery.
I thought I would finish up the sugar-free lemonade I had made (heavy on the lemon juice). Shockingly, my pets did not react kindly to this (they never have before) so I had to have a small piece of bread to settle all that back down.
Load those California/Texas truckers up with the homeless, free transportation to DC and let them petition the government for new tents and free drugs.

AOC is trying hard to flip Texas to blue.
“If we flip Texas, we flip the country!”
She’s not wrong. And I’m sure there are many agents working on fortified election outcomes from Texas going forward.
I weep for our nation.
Regular Texans need to get their capitol moved.
If they actually did something consistent about immigration instead of turning a blind eye and not handing everyone a check they might have a chance.
OTH, when illegals commit criminal acts that’s all on the state to fix.
You can have relatively easy legal immigration or a social safety net. Pick one.
Seems inevitable to me. You too, Florida.
My favorite part of living in Florida was watching people who bitched endlessly about DeSantis because he has the dastardly (R) after his name enjoy living their lives relatively free of covid restrictions. Like, sitting in restaurant while most blue cities and states are locked down and hearing someone rant about how heartless and what an asshole DeSantis is one table over. You’d think he was the one who locked the elderly up in homes with covid cases or something based on how Dems talked and still talk about him.
There’s like zero self-awareness on the left.
One of my Florida coworkers was bitching the other day about how everyone walks around without a mask. I wonder if he wears his respirator in restaurants.
Florida has gone increasingly red since covid started. Republican voter registration out numbers Democrat registration for the first time in decades.
She is the wrong messenger. The persuadable middle doesn’t want what she’s selling.
There is nothing inevitable about Texas going blue. Hispanic support for Team Blue has plunged over the last 5 years. There is good evidence Ted Cruz won reelection because of the Californians who moved to Texas. It turns out most of them voted Republican.
Chafed!
Great song. And yes, apropos.
Thanks for the Samsung info. I have one of their ‘smart’ TVs, so I’ll look for Baywatch!
I will watch at least some of the game. Grill is heating up and ribs will be going on shortly.
I was just an OK Glibfitter this week. Got in all my miles, sleep was good, but my appetite was absolute shit. I am trying to hit a certain protein level every day and it was tough this week. I could definitely feel the lack of food in the weight room.
No matter how you cut it, everything – food, exercise, sleep and people – needs to be dialed in to be truly healthy. Feeling good about this upcoming week, though! I hope all of you Glibfitters do too!
Go Rams! Or Bengals! I don’t really care.

Is it really a Super Bowl if Tom Brady isn’t playing?
No Brady or Rodgers makes it all the more interesting.

True, but it was looking pretty grim a few weeks ago.
Biscuits are in the oven and the filets are now bacon wrapped.
What’s you filet technique?
I prefer grilling, but it snowed overnight into this morning.
So…cast iron it is.
These are 9 oz each, so 5 minutes a side on medium+ heat. Then top with garlic butter and put in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes until up to temp.
Nice.
(Although you do get a demerit for not toughing out the weather)
Reverse sear.
I really need to figure out the inverse sear. I will cook a steak inside out.
Microwave does that. I don’t recommend it.
It doesn’t, actually.
Testing with a roast sized piece of beef has showed that it does heat from the outside in.
Had a bet about this with a work colleague, many, MANY years ago (before the general availability of the ‘Net! YES! I’M THAT OLD!); we settled it by actually phoning the R&D arm of Sharp Canada at the time and talking to one of their engineers who worked on microwave projects.
UnCivil’s correct. The microwave oven heats up exterior surfaces first. How could it be otherwise? The microwave radiation first encounters water molecules on the outer surface of most foods, and most of the energy gets dumped there first. The interior’s the last thing to get heated up, and much of it is transfer of heat from the outer surfaces. That’s why re-heating something in the microwave slowly is more successful than just nuking the BeJeezus out of it.
There are exceptions. For instance, if the outer surfaces of your food have little or no water molecules, the microwaves will pass through those layers largely unabsorbed, and will encounter water molecules deeper down, which will cause abnormal heating. An extreme example of how disastrous this can be is heating a raw egg in a microwave.
BOOM.
If I had to guess, that’s where the myth got started: An early demo was to microwave a hot dog in the bun.
Biscuits? I dont even know who you are anymore.

After the thread on movies to trigger the group meeting with, I decided to rewatch Lord of War. It opens up with a disappointingly inaccurate statistic claiming 550 million firearms in circulation worldwide. Even when it was made, that wouldn’t have accounted for the US alone.
I’m wondering if the people who made Lord of War assumed the audience would automatically side with Valentine (INTERPOL Agent), as he’s so odious that his only redeeming characteristic is sticking to the letter of the law. Or was he always meant to be an outright villain. Nowadays it’d be easier to tell.
Baywatch? Huh, never took you for a Hoff fan. NTTIATWWT. Still, Little Fingers are always welcome.
I didn’t quite get all my workouts in, but that is OK as I am in the middle of remodeling the upstairs bath, which is enough of a workout. At least that is what my doctor says. Weight is down a bit, but I don’t really worry about that, as long as I am feeling fit.
I like the Hof in a similar way to Shatner. Hof is, at best, a mediocre actor. But he made the most of what he has. He has a sense of humor about himself, and he is glad to give the people what they want.
On my (Android) phone, Google Play services (which I hardly ever use) keeps pestering me about backing up my data. I think it’s just honked off because I deleted the gmail account that I also never use. Is there a way to make the hounding stop that doesn’t involve creating another gmail account that I won’t use?
I didn’t know you could operate an Android without a gmail account. I thought it was mandatory.
Wipe, flash the ROM, install new opensource (fully) Android release, vio-la de-googled phone. Now some of the very popular apps require a google ID, so you’re SOL there (though perhaps a way to spoof it – I haven’t pursued it since I don’t really use those). Android itself is completely open – Google Android builds in proprietary closed source stuff for add and tracking, but you can definitely android without google involved.
Turn off notifications for play services?
Just checked. On 12 you can select specifically backup and restore.
I turn off Play Services entirely. I don’t need it for anything I do and it just wastes battery.
I just made the mistake of trying to disable Google Play Services on my phone. Now half the applications won’t work and the phone doesn’t want to update Google Play Services.
There’s one simple trick to get around that – Use the phone as a phone, not an omnitool.
Then why get a smart phone? They still make flip phones
I mostly only use it to browse the internet on my breaks, check my email, and have a weather app, which is why I bought a cheap phone. I don’t do much, but there are things I want to do.
No, I get it. My intention was to ask UCS why he has a smart phone if he doesn’t use any of it’s extra features.
Because they don’t actually sell a good flip phone anymore. Omnitool users have pushed the market in the wrong direction.
I see no good reason.
See my comment to Ted.
APK Mirror.
Well, my phone, one of those cheap pre-paid phones-in-a-box, is closing in on seven years old. I’ve been thinking of replacing it for a while, but when I went to Best Buy to get a replacement, I found that our local Best Buy had been shut down. And then when I picked out a phone on the Verizon app, I was told it was out of stock because of the Biden chip shortage. Thank you Brandon.
In fact, the phone doesn’t seem to want to install or update any app.
Fuck Google. They have been pestering me for close to two years now, at least 3 times a day, to give them my birthday and I have been just dismissing the shitz. I bought a new PC and they refused to let me bring in my favorites without first updating my birthday in that app. Since I did that I have noticed they have been fucking with me hardcore. I hope an asteroid impacts that shithole of a company’s server farm.
Luján planning return to Senate in time to vote for Supreme Court nominee
Luján also said that he plans to return to Washington, D.C., in “just a few short weeks.”
“I’m proud to report then I’ll be back on the floor of the United States Senate in just a few short weeks to vote on important legislation, and to consider a Supreme Court nominee,” Luján said.
It’s only a stroke, he’ll fit right in as a senator, no one will notice and someone can push his voting button.
+1 Captain Pike
He’d be better than our current President.
“Blink”
I know that’s a trite comparison on my part, since that could also apply to any number of inanimate objects or plant phylla as well. What I find truly amazing are the (admittedly decreasing) number of Americans who think he’s doing a fine job.
It’s an apt comparison, too bad people think he’s up to the job in his state, sad in a way.

It’s like a pre-approval letter for a home loan.

that’s over several years, pretty much all he’s allowed to do
think of it this way: if you managed a company’s valuation to such a good position and your own worth was tied up in the best part of half a billion in it and you didn’t think you were going to live 300 years, how would you get at your wealth so that you could enjoy it? the point of equity and options is to cash it out some day
those tweets were written by fear-mongerers with an agenda; they might be right, but the transactions prove nothing in and of themselves: it’s normal stuff; the conspiracy theory of “where did all the footprints on the beach go overnight!” shows their disinterest in the basics of wealth management

where did all the footprints on the beach go overnight
I’m related to a bunch of hillbillies, and the conspiracies they adore are childishly transparent to anyone who knows anything about government, business, or people.
But, pre-internet along those lines, Greenpeace held a news conference in Memphis decades ago about how they had pictures where they had caught someone red-handed dumping on the banks of the Mississippi: twas a dredge, of course, a Corps of Engineers dredge, doing what it does that they had caught. The spoil, of course, will eventually wash back into the river as everything does, so, yeah, great catch there, Greenpeace.
Zero carb beer?

Bud Light is already water.
It’s a start
I always trashed light beers, but then I noticed that I get the same endorphin rush from drinking one even though the taste and buzz aren’t there. I just love the rush, so maybe a lighter gate is a good idea ?
Yeah. I love “good” beer, but light beer has it’s place. And in your situation, it sounds like a low cal/low carb light beer would be preferable.
Watery beer is preferable if you are working. That’s why I call it “lawnmower beer”.
I had to do some work but my password expired today and they won’t let me change it.
WTF
They could have told us in the emails that would happen but no. I entered my old PW and a new one. There is no logical reason why that shouldn’t work.
Enjoy your day off.
Have a couple light beers and relax.
Vodka and Sparkling Ice will have to do.
Piss. It’s called piss.
Fuck it.
My spousal unit and I have decided neither of us wants to be the designated driver so we are just hanging out at home.
As I mentioned earlier, we have probably the biggest TV screen in Pahrump anyway. And I can mute the stupid commercials.
I have no jerseys relevant to the teams (unless Oklahoma State orange and black counts) so I’m currently sporting my Russia hockey jersey. Anisimov, 42.
Sergei Zubov is my alltime favorite hockey player. He always did the right thing, the high odds thing, with precision. If the puck didn’t hit your twig on the tape, the pass wasn’t meant for you: it was just passing between your legs on the way to someone else. I believe in playing the odds, and I wish Zubov could teach his discipline and commitment to excellent to engineers and managers.
I’m wearing a Packer hat, only because I’m not wearing anything red. If I had a red sweatshirt on, I’d be matching it with my Bayern München hat.
You say that to all your phone sex clients.
I hear ya; I’m trying to find my Vfl Bochum shirt right now. 😉
Now I want some FC Würzburger Kickers artifact. I would prefer a hat.
Was excited to see them reach the 2. Bundesliga. Less excited to see them in last place in the 3. Bundesliga now.
Go on . . . .
Damn it, I was looking at a list of “prop” bets, and the one I was interested in was Beckham scoring the first Rams TD at +850. But I couldn’t do anything about it. Thanks, Florida court system.
I took the over on the number of times cannabis will be mentioned during the halftime show at 4.5
Just looked at who the performers are. Good call.
Bob’s Burgers will be back on FXX just in time thank God.
I went to a Star Trek rerun on DVD, but yeah…
Circle Jerks!!!!

For some odd reason I feel the awareness of breast cancer being raised.
one of my college buddy’s son would have been 25 today: leukemia at 12
fuck cancer
Stop not watching. It’ll go away.
Can I get some completely inaccurate updates on the big game?
3 to 1 going into OT
Sweet. Did Mahomes score a safety?
Cal 47
TTUN 35
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Playa Manhattan?
He shouldn’t have cried wolf. Now he really has no internet and the repair man won’t come back.
Makes sense.
Bengals ahead 42 – 0.
Cal 1, the other team 0
Gretzky just a hit double, Bulls up by 5 on the third hole.
Good one!

旨?
Mushrooms stuffed with artichoke/jalapeño dip in the air fryer was a hit.
Why are the easiest recipes the best?
Sounds yum ?
They are terrific. A lovely Russian woman at Costco was giving out samples of the dip. We started chatting and she told me how much her family liked this.
I tend to listen to Russian chicks.
I keep hearing about these “air fryers”. Sounds like an oxymoron or a new version of a snipe hunt.
They are real. I just bought one.
Fried in air, not oil? What have we become?
*revels in own ignorance*
IIRC you add a little bit of oil. You can make French Fries and fried chicken and shit much more easily.
I want one.
Throwing pieces of potato into hot oil isn’t complicated.
*still intentionally obtuse*
Maybe less messily and more healthy.
I made French Fries a couple times and the cleanup is a pain in the ass and you have to be careful with the high temperatures required plus you have to use a lot of oil which means shitty oil.
Depending on the food, a light coating of oil is helpful, but when cooking most things we don’t use any. Especially frozen snacks meant to deep-fry or bake…in they go and are done in the same time as dep frying, without all the oily bullshit.
I don’t fry my french fire anymore. I prefer to oven bake the fuck out of them. Especially the sweet potato fries.
Miniature convection ovens. They are very hot these days.
That Michelob Ultra ad would have been a lot better if a character from the Big Lebowski walked in at the end.
Yeah, either The Dude or Walter Sobchek would’ve been way better there.
The Big Lebowski didn’t have any empowered black females in it, though.
The Big Lebowski is overrated.
How many times were you dropped on your head as an infant?
Right?
Never seen it but it is on my DVR now.
Top 10 funniest movie ever.
One of those ones you find gems every time you watch it.
Underrated flick there.
I would go with, good, even very good, but not great.
Even the NFL makes face masking illegal.
/apologies
That joke? That joke right there? You are less gay when you are actually sucking a dick.
You did a spit take and lost a future generation?
So far, glad it’s not a blowout.
Completely agree.
This just a reminder that Joe Mixon Ray-Riced some college girl and the media just decided it didn’t happen after he was drafted.
When did ricing become illegal?
When the Japanese guy became an NHL ref.
I can’t imagine being the out of touch boomer ad executive who thought let’s put Trevor Noah in our commercial.
Gah glad I missed that.
He is such an awful person.
Somebody did one of those studies where they pretend to understand you by whom you follow on the Twitters and who follows you.
Ad peeps were even further left than academics.
Holy crap. That’s astounding. You would think their clients would care about that given how much money they spend.
In spades.
?
I regret nothing. See Charles C. W. Cooke’s takedown of Noah.
My smirk was because I thought you were making an edgy pun with your choice of words.
Noah is a piece of shit, and Cooke wrote a good takedown. If anything, he was too easy on him.
Pay blocked.
I was/did. I regret nothing.
I hope I’m not breaking any rules pasting this. Credit: Charles C. W. Cooke @ National Review
Cooke’s right, but nothing matters in the era of identity politics: we are not judged by our ideals or behavior….all that matters is whose jersey.
Also, for those who don’t remember, OBJ likes to have women shit on his chest.
That’s not illegal.
Ted S. Scatological sympathizer or participant? You decide. We already know he has no sense of humor.
You know this how?
https://theblast.com/c/odell-beckham-jr-girlfriend-lauren-wood-unfazed-pooped-on-chief-keef-ex/
I don’t think any of them are credible.
Your only source for a story like that is going to be women who were paid by OBJ to shit on his chest. How credible are you going to find any of them, sans them providing video evidence in the act?
Given the class of people involved, if this happened there is a good chance there is video.
*mute button*
I see Morgan Freeman is whoring for Erdogan.
What did I miss?
Morgan Freeman whoring for Erdogan.
Perhaps you could be more specific.
I would if I was watching any of it. 🙂

Is it a national airline or privately owned?

Being threatened by Justin Trudeau is like ________________________.

Seeing all the celebrities at the Super Bowl while average fans would have to get a second mortgage to go…
Why all those celebrities unmasked in LA when there is an indoor mask mandate? Don’t they follow the SCIENCE!!!
I don’t know the specifics in CA. Maybe they just had to show their papers.
Nope. LA is a covid hell hole. You must where a mask in any indoor public setting and all businesses. They are clearly in violation of the “law.”
Just 2 weeks ago Magic Johnson and Da Guv got busted sans mask. Rules for thee, peasant.
100%
I remember that but it’s not like the Rules don’t change every five minutes.
That’s true. In LA they get worse with time.
As the mayor said, they didn’t inhale.
You don’t really need to understand what they’re saying. The late, great Shimura Ken.

Rip. Just like Benny Hill, the visuals tell the story.
I ketpt waiting for them to make the girl make the “ehh-eehhh” osunds but it never happened.. Fuck you Straff. I hope Godzilla gets your ass for leaving me hanging like that…
Upskirt more your style?

Them Japanese nee better cameras.. Whenever their cameras hit the hooch the pixelation goes stupid…
And that big lady walking over the guy is sexual abuse man…
Definitely a loss.
You and Gustave know what’s up.
Maxime Bernier on the Freedom Convoys.
The half-time lineup seems… calculated.
You don’t say.
Well shit. Bread collapsed today. So much for sandwich bread this week.
No need to be so crusty.
At least he’s not juggling.

Just stay drugged, it will be fine,

Perhaps you didn’t have enough malt.
Make sauerkraut and dumplings.
Shunning The Big Lebowski and oily food in one thread. This place is going downhill.
Snoop brought some thicc cheerleaders.
Yes he did. Where is Heroic Mulatto when you need him?
What the fuck?
You’re going to have to provide more context.
Since I am not a football person, I am watching “Dangerous Roads” on Prime. First up is Alaska’s Dalton Highway. Gorgeous.

some great footage of how not to offroad in Alaska
How it’s made marathon on the Science channel. Just not to keen on them doing Tofu… If I wanted fake shit I would watch some tranny channel..
How It’s ACTUALLY Made: Tofu
They made up for that Tofu shit by doing buttplugs.
Hahaha. Thanks, CPRM. That was funny.
The tofu spins right round like a record baby. Right round. Round, round.
Good video, CPRM. I learned a lot.
That was lovely. Thanks CPRM.
How It’s Made always reminds me of something a teacher would leave around for the sub to show the class if the teacher didn’t leave any lesson plans.
god it’s awful
they’ll be showing some nothingburger assembly and then, when the critical device or process arises, they never show or explain where the important part came from. So it’s always just legos with almost no meaning. it’s like Steve Martin’s advice on being a millionaire….first: get a million dollars, then……….
when the critical device or process arises, they never show or explain where the important part came from
You can thank IP lawyers like me for that one.
tab A goes into slot B, we oil this bearing, AND THEN A MIRACLE OCCURS
tab P goes into slot V, and then the miracle of life occurs.
Well, fuck, THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong all these years!
Before my mother cancelled her cable, “How It’s Made” would be the default show we’d put on when I was visiting because you could either watch it or let it be background noise without any issues, and it was almost being marathoned on the weekends.
We’ve cracked a few jokes about its absense since.
Worst halftime ever?
I’m not watching, but I’m guessing the last time the Bengals were there was worse.
OK, that’s awful.
Yep. Bob Costas makes my skin crawl.
Easily.
All of a sudden, Aerosmith and Brittney Spears is looking pretty solid.
Aerosmith was solid. Why Bertney wore a sock on her hand I’ll never know.
Probably. My 16 year was looking forward to it and was disappointed from the beginning.
Half time is just Dr. Dre saying look at my empire muthafuckers
Thinking back, the first halftime show that comes to mind as the greatest is Prince.
Followed by U2. Off the top of my head.
The Prince one might be the only one I have actually watched.
The lineups are almost always nothing I want to see so ??♂️.
Not Madonna or Lady Gaga? They’ll revoke your membership!
I do own one Madonna album somewhere but I don’t know anything about Ms. Gaga.
I like a lot of Madonna’s early-middle, up to and including Dick Tracy. After that, meh.
My daughter was enthralled with Madonna when she first broke big in the 80s. It was much later that I learned that Madonna is only a year younger than I am.
I can’t say I was enthralled. I liked her stuff, sure, but I was more into the hair bands.
Like a Prayer has some nice tunes that were not radio or club hits. Maybe some other albums do too but I wasn’t interested enough to find out.
The only two Madonna albums I ever bought were a compilation album of her more contemplative songs (Something to Remember) and the Dick Tracy soundtrack.
Prince was the greatest.
Just like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones, U2 aren’t American.
The Blues Brothers with ZZ Top was very American.
Aerosmith wasn’t bad, and back then Britney Spears was a total smokeshow.
Just about time for the Rams to give this game away on a silver platter?
Well, huh.
Heh, it was the Rams who got into the Superbowl last time against the Saints on a missed PO call, wasn’t it?
What happened to the punt, pass, and kick awards?
compare Andy Reid to his competition
I just realized this is at least Mary J. Blige second Super Bowl halftime.
That was a lousy punt.
Ditto.
Most “meh” Superb Owl ever.
It was a close game.
Is it over?
Is it in yet?
Yes Elizabeth, it was in, And it is over.
Perfect complement to the Olympics.
LA is TEH GOAT! Suck it flyover Hicks!1!1!111!11!!! They totally love the NFLz there now! The Rams might be able sell more than half their tickets next year.
You have reminded me of a wonderful moment with my father.
I was 10 years old or so and dropped a very dry sarcastic comment on current bets.
My dad looked at me for a few seconds, said “you are a mean little kid” and brought me in for a big and rare hug.
It meant the world to me then, and means a ton to me now. Thanks, Dad.
My family has always been big on puns and sarcasm. 8 years ago or so my parents began taking care of a young child from a broken home. She was very underperforming academically and my mother and I spent a lot of time tutoring her. One night, after she had lived with them for several months, she made a very clever pun, something should couldn’t even grasp earlier. We were all very proud.
After leaving my parents’ care I hear she is now a teen mom and HS drop out. Sad.
Hey whatever’s good enough for Bennifer is good enough for me.
It looks like no one was wearing a mask at the Super Bowl.
Because Biden defeated Covid with his own bare hands. Until the next SURGE comes after the mid-terms.
I’m sure they were all jabbed. It’s a good thing that prevents transmission.
It’s a good thing that prevents
transmission.you from becoming a Rushun Terrorist.I guess that rumor that Aaron Rodgers would boycott the Super Bowl over Vaxx policy was true, he wasn’t there.
Game over, man
Another white guy named Super Bowl MVP!? 75% of the league is Black! Where is the 3/5 rule!? #BadAtMathAndHistory
