So speaking of books, I’m currently reading the first of The Lincoln Lawyer series. And golly is it different from the Netflix series. I always love a good legal and/or police procedural (oh happy day it was when l0b0t introduced me to Law & Order), so I devoured the first season of The Lincoln Lawyer in about a day and a half. The first book is, thus far, significantly better. (Cue the shock and awe)
There are entire characters missing in the TV series. One of those characters is Hieronymus Bosch, who doesn’t even exist in the Netflix adaptation. Amazon’s ownership rights of the Hieronymus Bosch character prevented The Lincoln Lawyer series from being properly developed. I am curious, however, as to how Michael Connelly managed to license two characters to two different studios. I would’ve loved to be in on those meetings and see how that was negotiated.
Anyway, back to the nonsense.
The true insurrection is the one waged against the American people, by locking them in their homes, destroying their money, attempting to disarm them, and using a surveillance apparatus to track their every move.
You're complicit.

This was probably shared, but man is it awesome.
These are my favorite links ever.
I am Poppy.
They are awesome links, and they made me happy.
❤️❤️ thank you
Seconded. I have no idea how you gather that collection of links.
Honest US citizen here:
Worry about PA oz. Download Pennsylvania’s weights and measure standards: meet those and you’re golden in the other 49
Dudes asking for your number at a bar is normal part of the mating ritual of seconders. How about women grow a spine and just say no?
Oh I don’t know, but the ghost trolling might be worth a laugh or two.
If nothing else, how the guy reacts would tell a girl a lot, I expect. But then again, I have to assume my wife picked me for my sense of humor (God knows it couldn’t be much else… 😉 ) — so being able to take a good joke seems like one of the things you’d check.
The first answer to a bad pick up line should always be:
“What’s your blood type?”
Honest US citizen here. I don’t get why we’re all Tulpa and not Poppy. I think she’s one of the best linkers on the site right now. She just needs time to do this. We should back her and trust the process. We can do this! Let’s go Glibs!
More seriously — like the panoply of madness. Particularly the “Cute single moms”. That one got a big grin from me.
They didn’t like my pitch for a law and order spin-off.
oops, meant to link this
At first I just saw DNR and thought Do Not Resuscitate.
Damn my slow fingers!
Drat… I was hoping for Law and Order: Do Not Resuscitate to finally be the Sequel to literally end all sequels.
I’d watch the fuck outta that.
Twitter denies massive bot presence, and second, those quidditch players sure look like they are making “wooshing” sounds as they pretend to fly.
So, this would be the first time the players had a “stick” between their legs, I am guessing.
That quidditch shit is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Please detach yourselves from J.K. Rowling and spare her the embarrassment. She’s probably grateful.
JK was a fucking genius to get tens? dozens? of losers to prance around a pitch while seemingly gripping their junk.
Lose the stick and seems like a somewhat logical playground game that includes smear the queer

Chili Palmer is much more interesting than Keke Palmer.
I don’t think it’s gonna make that much difference, but I am enjoying the new LNP.
Does this mean there’s a Chili Rosberg out there too?
Damn, now I want to host an owl party.
Yeah. I have yet to get any owls on my tiny property. Owls do rock and one should have an owl party.
In Missouri, my neighbor kept rabbits and there was a Great Horned Owl that would sometimes sit on my fence and look for opportunities,
His/her wingspan was probably over 6′.
Just invite a bunch of random people you meet at the supermarket. Then keep shouting “Have you met Bob?” so they can stand around saying “Who?”
Old Wild Ladies?
Operating without a license.
Kinda like a lemon party, then?
Yeah, owls are awesome.
We got enjoy this badass all spring.
So cool seeing the owlets grow up.
Wow, gorgeous and nice camouflage.
I go to a Superb Owl Party every year.
I host a baroque music-themed gathering at my house every year. I usually call it More Than You Can Handel, but I figure if I can get a raptor wrangler to show up with his charge, I’ll call it Owl Be Bach.
/that’s the best I could come up with, really owl I could come up with

I always love a good legal and/or police procedural…
Then you need to read the Rebus series from Ian Rankin.

Assuming you’re on the left side of the Appalachians, I’ve always said it’s more midwest over there than east.
Exactly right. We’re fundamentally Midwesterners.
Just walk into every restaurant in town and yell “Fuck off, Tulpa!” until you find the one where not everyone looks at you funny.
Start at Perkins.
Heh, dinner at Perkins was a childhood treat; a close second to Ponderosa.
We had a place called Mr. Steak.
Definitely a treat.
Interesting that it started in CO!
I worked at Mr. Steak on Robert St. in West St Paul back in the day.
We went to the one on Lyndale in Bloomington!
Were you a WSP guy?
I worked at a Ponderosa in Ames, Iowa. I actually cut my hair to keep my job – the owner was a total dick. I wasn’t even customer facing – why did I need short hair?
I remember cutting up 6 crates of cantaloupe, 4 crates of honeydew, 3 crates of pineapple, and 10 crates of watermelon on an early Satdee morning,
I only lasted a semester at Iowa State before I ran out of money.
Ain’t been to a Ponderosa since. Fuck ’em.
SSP
Doc, my dad grew up in SSP. What part of town did you live in?
Mr. Steak had a Ponderosa across the street and down the block from it. When Red Lobster built right across the street from us, it was the beginning of the end for that location.
We were on 5th Ave near Southview.
Oh shit,
6th and Southview. Right down from the Dairy Queen!
When did you live there>
’71 up through ’94
At this point, I’d be shocked if we didn’t know each other, at least in passing. I used to hang out at Nipp’s garage on 7th and Southview as well.
You probably knew my uncle. He was only 8 years older than me.
It was a great goddamn town, in a weird way.
I had fun growing up there, till I realized warmer climates were a real thing. I still have friends and family in the area and go back about once a year.
I used to pick up my sister after a shift at Mr. steak. I felt like I was her pimp.
Damn, we may have run across each other.
“I’m non-binary, feeling lucky?” Got a laugh out of me.
This is why I love Malice:

I bet he’s into Messicans, weed, and ass sex.
A true gentleman.
The Quiddich thing; I read two articles that said they were changing the name because they wanted to create/expand their ultra-nerd leagues to national and international levels and wanted to avoid copyright troubles. Both had a one or two paragraph claim that, “Oh it’s also because JK is so TERFy” but neither gave any evidence whatsoever to back up that claim.
Also, WTF is a Keke Palmer?
A Palmer one short of solving Sammy’s problem?
I read it as Kek Palmer at first. Still doesn’t answer the question, but I chuckled.
I’ve been banned from Freddy’s fuel station apparently. Wonder if it applies to all Kroger stations. It’s 98F out with humidity dripping off the sweat, and I’ve lost patience with waiting for the pump monkeys to take their sweet ass time to do their stated jobs. So I pumped it myself. Dipshit wanted to run “the lahhhhhh”. Whatever, that ship sailed when Gov Shitstain suspended the self serve law first for COVID and then for heat emergencies(*). Apparently this need for public safety is so important that it can be waived at will. Or even rescinded in much of the state. Tell me, how does population of a county affect whether self serve is “safe” or not? Assholes want to burn up the rule of law to get at their devils, well reap it shitheels.
*heat emergencies now being declared anytime it’s hot out, usually within the normal range of weather. Insanity.
Crazy. Is there anywhere other than Oregon and NJ you can’t pump your own gas?
Not as far as I know. And it’s not a complete ban either
Exempt
Diesel at all pumps
Cardlock fuel pumps
Half the state’s counties 24 hours a day
3 counties between 6pm and 6am
Do you know how many untrained motorists died pumping their own gas last year? Do you?
A quick DDG search anecdotally shows you’re more likely to get shot pumping gas than from the act of pumping gas. So maybe they’re on to something…let the attendant take the bullet.
Biden did that.
Are we doing phrasing?
Why is this ever an inquisitive question here?
Phrasing
I would like to be (short haired) Meg Ryan’s boyfriend.
“I’ll have what he’s having!”
Poor girl has made some bad choices.
Antonio Banderas?
Was he the plastic surgeon?
Otherwise, no.
By the looks of her, maybe he was.
No, that was Melanie Griffith, and he was the decent one in that pair.
Well, shit. Yup, I always get those two mixed up.
Totally understandable. She mutilated her face too.
Man, plastic surgery is a hate crime. Why do these people do it? Remember Ellen Barkin? Ruined her face, and career. Billy Crystal? A freak show!
The NM thing. When I got my divorce and I was talking with a friend from high school she no shit asked “I’d love to visit but I don’t have my passport”
Probably dodged a bullet with that
Probably?
Meh…she was truly like a sister all through highschool and my HS gf BFF.
Thanks, Poppy.
. I larfed.
And apparently I believe in superfluous penises.
*sighs wearily at self*
Periods. Superfluous periods. Man, I haven’t even got off work to start drinking yet.
Maybe it’s just a big skin tag?
I was about to ask about that, then I saw the explanation. This will pop up again in a post.
That’s a clitoris.

The NM thing was well-known when growing up. The state magazine New Mexico used to devote the last page to people with similar stories. Doesn’t seem to be as much as an issue in our Modern World.
Florida Ounces: About a month ago I had a very young Sweet Young Thing ask me to decipher an item on her grocery list. “What’s a lb?”
“units of libido. Wanna see mine?”
“One of our 50 is missing!” I remember that. It was always good for a laugh.
never ran into it in person, but I saw once on the evening news years ago, I think it was Brokaw doing a piece on MEXICAN FIRE ANTS OMG. and he said something about how the ant invasion was going to sweep From Cali thru Arizona and into Texas! poor NM didn’t even get a mention in this march of deadly bugs.
National TV weathermen like to stand in front of New Mexico while talking about the weather in more important places.
During the Vietnam War period there would be at least one letter to the editor each year complaining that the Viet Cong flag was being flown all over Arizona.
Idiots.
Who the fuck is this “Poppy?”
I feel like Glibs is changing too rapidly and the world is being swept out from under my feet.

We’re you not around for the Poppy phase?
Just got home late from work and catching up on the links, I like these Poppy. Also, regarding the gay marriage ‘gotcha’ from the previous links, I don’t think marriage is a legitimate state or federal function. Marriage is a religious ceremony, church and state bitches. States should have to acknowledge any civil unions between one or more consenting adults, much like they should be required to “shall issue” firearm permits, but marriage occurs in the church amd should not be a gov’t function period.
I, likewise don’t think that issuing permits to carry is a legitimate state or federal function. It’s a human right to arm oneself; no permit should be needed or even allowed.
Actually, you’re correct, there shouldn’t be any firearm permitting. As far as civil union recognition goes though, it has to be recognized for job benefits and the such, but the government shouldn’t be in the business of sanctioning what unions are allowed/disallowed, they should just be in the business of recording said unions for the record.
Doug Stanhope on marriage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXpsT3e8UsM
Exactly. It is a contract and should be treated as such. Church should be separate and totally not a state function (other than securing the contract.)
OK. No war movie tonight.

So far so good!

Random Glibfit update. On Sunday I decided to do a 24 hour fast just to see the effects (something something first world problems something choosing to fast). I did a very light workout in the late afternoon, just some rowing and calisthenics, a very light workout. By the evening, my back was getting pretty stiff. The next morning, it was pretty bad, but I was okay by Monday evening so I did some yoga to keep it loose and a very short run. This morning I started to do some really basic calisthenics and got two reps of bodyweight squats before my back gave out and I had to lie down. Been walking around hunched over all day. Ice helps. Damn, just when I was starting to get into a rhythm.
Damn, The Bee just made a believer out of me!

I did feel bad about not coming in and saying goodbye before I left, but when I’m sober I’m not very social. You and the Mrs were great hosts though. And I’m glad you have gotten some joy from the mug.

Hello Fellow Glibs – just got a promo from Matt “Gourmeltz” Strickland that he’ll be doing a mini-campaign event at his place on Sat – may try and swing by and maybe some content develops…
Someone needs to pull Rob Zombie aside and tell him that his wife isn’t fucking interesting. She’s not charismatic, she can’t act, and it’s fucking annoying that he crowbars her into every fucking project that he does. Like, if she had talent, she could get work without you forcing her onto the world.
Mrs. Moon at one point was intriguing but now…not so sure
I’ve never thought “Rob Zombie” was interesting so I guess there’s that.
He really isn’t. The House Of 1,000 corpses was ok. Everything else was shit, and by Halloween his everybody is a grungy 70’s style piece of white trash aesthetic was more than tiresome.
And he quite clearly did not get what was supposed to be creepy about Michael Meyers. He was a guy who just killed with no explanation or reason. Giving him a tragic backstory with Mommy issues and hallucinations like Jason was cringy as fuck. And half the sequel being a dream sequence should have gotten him banned from ever making a movie again.
I thought Michael Meyers already had a backstory from one of the original movies but I’m no expert so *shrug*.
He was a kid who from a middle class family with no history of violence who just went and killed his sister one night with no discernable motive. He wasn’t an abused child. There’s a reason they just called him The Shape in the script. He was a blank slate who never spoke.
Giving him some cliched backstory to explain his violence goes completely against that.
But yeah, one of my pet peeves is giving the bad guy some sort of redemptive backstory. I’m talking to you, Stephen King.
If she was talented she wouldn’t be appearing in Rob Zombie movies. It’s been all downhill for him ever since Thunderkiss ‘65.
Why not both?
“Stay fresh, cheese bags” will be stuck in my head for a while. My friends are gonna be so confused.
Reminds me of one of the aliens in ST:TNG calling the humans “ugly bags of mostly water”.
I have a feeling you are going to say that to your wife and instantly regret it.
That would be contraindicated.
I’m having a glass of wine now in hopes that it helps me sleep.
Tomorrow is a pivotal day for my future career: in the morning is the phone call with my boss’s boss to discuss my career path. He indicated he’d like to put my leadership and management skills to use on a big project.

I’m trying not to be nervous or to let my mind race when I need to be sleeping.

There goes the Howard Zinn propaganda and the Robert Maplethorpe coffee table book. A damn shame that…
But seriously, I’m not too keen on book purges but the parents ought to have some say at least.
Seriously though, there are several lawsuits against Florida regarding the parental control over education law. They should all be getting thrown out. Clearly the state has the power to regulate what is taught in it’s own classrooms and the parents have the right to know what ANY government functionary is doing, especially teachers of their own child.
One wonders what objectionable material the librarians have already snuck onto the shelves that prompted this.
“Basic Economics”?
I’m guessing something about “trans kids” because that is what every controversy needs to be about these days.

Mornin’, reprobates!
Thanks to “Poppy” for the bizzaro world links. Nice to start the day with a few belly laughs.
Morning, Folks,
Good to see you all today and every day. I’m noticing the shortening of the days already. Summer has been nice, except for the mosquitos earlier, now they are gone. Seems like the seasons pass so quickly, turn into years which also pass so quickly.
Mornin’. Finally got a break in the heat, in the mid ’60s now. Beautiful morning.
Where did the years go? Seems like yesterday I was jumping around trying (and failing) to dunk a basketball, today climbing a ladder is a challenge. My adorable little ones turned into grown men overnight. These are good things, I think.
Second attempt – first attempt eaten by server:
Good morning, 4(20), ‘patzie, Pie, U, KK (No, I’m not going to make an acronym out of your current handle!) Sean, rhy, and Stinky! Another beautiful morning here at Tranq Base – clearer than yesterday, so maybe the grass can finally be cut.
Didn’t make it to the Y yesterday because we stumbled onto a cheap ($3.50!) matinee of Minions! Heaven help me, I do adore those Minions! So anyway, maybe I’ll make it to the Y today. And preparations for travel continue apace.
…and as soon as I posted that, I heard a rumble of thunder. Checked the local weather radar, and there’s a big blob of green, yellow, and red just off to the west. So much for cutting the grass.
well if you can cut it before the rain starts it should be good
The grass cutter is still asleep.
throw a bucket of ice cold water on the grass cutter?
On the plus side, Saturday is forecast to be sunny and in the upper ’70s. A perfect day it will be.
88 here but looks like the humidity will be low.
I can hardly wait! 😃
In the meantime, it’s getting disturbingly dark around here…
My lawn will be so out of control by the time I get back I may have to mow most of it twice.
I’m in a bit of a quandry as I borrowed the extension cord I use for maintaining the vegetation outside my house to plug my computer into a different circuit.
Do I get a new cord to hack down the margin? Or do I unplug my computer again?
extension cords are handy. Splurge and get 2 more.
Get another cord. You can’t have too many extension cords.
These euphemisms are getting weird.
I read that as “a cheap manitee of minions”.

Sometime between leaving my house last Thursday and arriving back home on Monday, my internet went down. I could probably go back and figure out when by looking at my charts, but the important thing is IT’S STILL NOT UP! The router and modem seem to be fine. Originally they weren’t going to send someone to my house until Friday, but I told them it’d be faster for me to just sign up with a competitor so supposedly there will be a tech out this evening.
Wait, there’s more than one provider in your area? I figured they’d finished carving up the territories by now.
Do you need to know the Cal score?
I thought sports were still banned in Cali wut with the pandemic and all.

For some reason (and this happened yesterday) from time to time my switch will decide that the port my desktop is connected to needs to be turned off.
