Okay, that was a little harsh, I probably should have said “ninnies” instead of ‘gits.’ I built this puzzle before I decided to try and ease you people into the solving process, thus it’s a little longer and harder than I would like but TPTB were begging for submissions and this one was ready to go so put on your big boy pants and give it a try. I’ll endeavor to build a middling level one next time. You know the drill- not your sponsor… entertainment only… no gambling…
Remember if you want to be immortalized in as a Glibcrostic like Fourscore try to make a witty or astute comment that includes the letters necessary to spell out your handle, or alternately change your handle to match the letters in your witty or astute comment.
I take pride in being one of your proclaimed gits.
I came close to solving the 1st puzzle you posted and ‘twas fun. Thanks for the time you put into these. But re ninny uber git, please limit inflammatory-styled abrasive derogations exclusively to those of non-English origin.
COUSIN YETI NOT PART OF SMITH FAMILY!
SHERPA SMITH BEG TO DIFFER. AND BY BEG, MEAN RAPE.
I thought we already had Snow Smith ?
Why not both? The Himalayas are a big place.
THERE NO SNOW SMITH! COUSIN YETI GET KICK OUT OF FAMILY.
HIM HAVE FEUD WITH SMITHS!
Well, what about SHERPA SMITH?
Not sure anyone would hire a Sherpa that raped them and stole their snacks.
You never know. People voted for Joe Biden.

“Insanity clause” doesn’t actually fit.
On that, some old comedy routines really do hold up. I watched a reaction video where a coupe of twenty-something Brits were earnestly laughing at a recording of “woh’s on first.”
Hoes on first?

THERE AM SANTA SMITH!

Reaching back to KK’s seafaring,
I may have mentioned I lived with a stripper back in my Austin days? We have remained good friends and I just got an email from her saying she’s going to be out of contact for a couple of weeks because she’s going to be doing this. She’s hot, smart and fearless. Too bad she likes her dudes rail-skinny. Seriously, she did the whole “support your boyfriend while he embarks on a ‘music career’ thing” for years until he put on some weight, then she kicked him out and found a skinny customer to bang.
The moral of the story is: sometimes the stripper really does like you.
I thought the moral of the story was stay skinny…
A few years back she found an ultramarathoner to have a baby with. The kid is going to be drowning in tail when he hits puberty.
Where is Deadhead?
I should have specified, an absolutely gorgeous racially indeterminate ultramarathoner.
And the kid got both sets of good looking genes.

There is no sex in the Champagne Room…

A lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying.

They wouldn’t actually play that at the club. The would play “The Ballad of Chasey Lain”</a? though
I knew a stripper that would dance to Conjunction Junction. It was funny as hell to watch the other guys try to dance when that song came on.
I remember one that came out in a T-Rex furry suit to the tune of Walk The Dinosaur.
guys should be girls, lol.

There’s no shame in admitting you like to watch male strippers.
I was expecting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDswiT87oo8 from Nick
I still have a few of these guys tunes in my car’s MP3 rotation. Still fun as hell.
Boyfriend dropped the “rock star” thing didn’t he, because that is like the best weight-loss program out there.
Not until after she dumped him. She didn’t actually make enough to keep him in cocaine.
In spite of all my vices (past and present) Im glad cocaine never ‘clicked’ with me. I don’t have a very functional off-switch. I wouldn’t be doing a bump or two off a car key- Id have to do ALL the coke.
Aye – I had a phase of my life where it was widely available, often for no cost to me. Thank dog it didn’t click for me either.
I tried it once. Eh. Certainly not worth the money.
I never liked coke. Only the way it smells.
I don’t know how people stand numb noses and reapplication 3-4x an hour. Sounds inefficient to me.
Well…yeah.
I’ve always assumed I’d enjoy it very, very much. Because of that, I’ve never tried it.

6 – Topics of Conversation
. . . one of the things you’re really getting into is cable TV which is going to be like the rock & roll of the Eighties because everybody’s going to be hard-wired into 240 channels and there’s this huge market for software already which is why you’ve got this programming development deal together that right right now is a class at the New School but is almost sold to Home Box and is going to be an hour a day that’s part news but like part entertainment too like this New Wave group that you’ve already done three minutes on with mini-cam on quarter-inch but you might turn that into a documentary plus maybe a docudrama for PBS because it’s this sound that’s sort of Western Swing but punk but ska which is all in the interview you got with the bass player that you’re going to publish in this magazine you’re starting which will be all the complete cable listings for all of New Jersey with public access stuff that isn’t listed anywhere plus like interviews too and . . .
Just because your mouth is moving much faster than your brain is no reason not to carry on an engaging conversation.
Given the size of my nose, its a matter of cost-benefit-analysis.
For the same reason, I avoid strip clubs- $8 draft at the rate I drink them make it prohibitively expensive.
After the initial titillation of seeing neckid wimmin, I find strip clubs depressing…and, uhm, painful.
I once went to a male review with my bestie. It was awful. We sat apart and away from all the screaming middle-aged women fighting to stuff dollar bills into the dudes’ g-strings. When a couple of dudes came over to pay attention to us, I jerked away and snapped, “Don’t touch me.” They were surprised.
In any case, I find casinos to reek of despair and desperation. Also, the clanging and jangling and strobe-y lighting make me go bonkers.
LOL I should have tried that at the various strip clubs I’ve had to patronize over the years. But I’d be afraid the poor ladies might want to start something or call over the “management” or something.
I stopped going after my daughter was born. It really changed how I viewed them. Instead of eye-candy, I suddenly saw each one of them as some daddy’s little girl.

Oh Fredo:
Expecting the same rules to apply to you and M. Lemon is just proof you’re a white supremacist.
Ethics are just white supremacy, keeping the black man down? Sure you want to go with that?
journalistic ethics
What are those?
Those are those little rock squares you put under drinks to save the coffee table, right?
Good catch. Complaining about someone violating journalistic ethics creates the impression that there is such a thing.
Those are the optional kind of ethics.

Too bad the Abraham Lincoln brigades were on the side of the commies. Not that there was a good side in the Spanish civil war.
The Russians already nailed a hotel full of “mercenaries”. Somebody was probably bragging on social media and gave away their position.
I was told that our soldiers would often enter the jungles of Vietnam reeking of after-shave. Or smoking cigs on patrol or guard duty.
Same idea.
Except this time somebody a thousand miles away with Google Maps and a cruise missile launcher can take them out.

They can’t both be right. I suspect they are both half-right – his pension was partially funded by Smith via payroll deductions, and partially funded by the county.
Smith’s payroll deductions are taxpayer-funded, too.
But they are taken from his pay, so I think its fair to say he pays them.
I can’t think of anyone better to carry the administrations message.
Vice President Harris will be hitting the road more frequently in the coming weeks and months, sources familiar with the plans tell The Hill.
With COVID-19 cases declining across the nation, Harris will be spending more time crisscrossing the country and touting the successes of the administration, the sources say.
On the trips, the vice president will be discussing issues including infrastructure, expanded broadband access and key executive orders signed by President Biden.
…and much hilarity will ensue.
Well, she’ll be laughing, anyway.

Koch Industries is continuing its operations in Russia as dozens of other companies have pulled out of the country due to the war in Ukraine.
Dave Robertson, president and COO of Koch Industries, released a statement Wednesday explaining the company’s decision and business ties in Russia.
Koch owns a company called Guardian Industries which will continue its operations in Russia as it employs 600 people across two glass manufacturing facilities.
Koch Industries employs another 15 people outside of Guardian Industries in Russia.
They’ll never get into Heaven that way.

Sorry we can’t lock down again. The new squirrel to focus on is Ukraine.
Once again, America is in denial about signs of a fresh Covid wave
It IS interesting that the UK is having noticeably more infections than the US. It makes me wonder if that is coming here. Not that I’m suggesting we actively do anything about that.
“At least 12 countries, geographically extending from Finland to Greece, are experiencing new increases in cases, some quite marked, such as Austria exceeding its pandemic peak, and Finland with an 85% increase from the prior week. Many of these countries are also showing a rise in hospital admissions.”
So just like the last wave, lots of cases but not a lot of hospitalizations. But we should still panic, because stuff MIGHT happen.
Also, it’s The Guardian so there is a high probability that they are just flat-out lying.
Also a bit of good news for those of us who got reluctantly got J&J and were later told we were idiots for not getting boosted.
As Virus Data Mounts, the J.&J. Vaccine Holds Its Own
Minimal compliance FTW. *high fives sensei*
✋?
Interesting. I guess the Pfizer smear campaign didn’t work, huh?
Sure it did. It drove J & J from the market, which was its purpose.
Oh, it worked all right.
I didn’t RTFA. Thanks for that. I could have sworn I saw them available still at Costco.
I believe they shut down as they had enough inventory to satisfy current demand versus expiry. I’m imagining they’d restart if demand picks up.
Mind you that doesn’t change the point everyone here has made.
Damning by faint praise
Interesting. J&J was the only one I really considered getting.
Same here. When I finally caved, I drove an extra 60 miles round trip to get the J&J.
