    It’s Florida. Of course the Uber driver has meth.

    • rhywun

      Tampa? I thought for sure that was Miami Beach.

      • Chafed

        #MeToo

    • Fourscore

      Well, the two could pass for refugees from 2020.

      Thanks, CPRM

  2. Sean

    lulz

  3. Animal

    I prostrate myself before the world’s greatest living animator!

    • R C Dean

      Oh, prostrate with an โ€œrโ€.

      Carry on.

      • Chafed

        He said what he meant.

    • Fourscore

      There’s pills for that, so I’ve heard

  4. Spudalicious

    Well done! Well done.

  5. dbleagle

    Huzzah!

    Now to use the word of the day. This endeavor did not cause me to horripilate like the earlier submissions.

    I reread The Mote in God’s Eye for the first time since I was a teenager, barely remember it and enjoyed it immensely. I bought The Gripping Hand and I’m enjoying it too. Are the other CoDominium novels this good?

    • rhywun

      From Niven I’ve only read a couple Ringworld books – enjoyed them immensely. I want/need to check these out.

      • rhywun

        But I have six more Expanse novels to grind through.

      • Chafed

        *cough* and two seasons of Babylon 5 *cough*

      • hayeksplosives

        Right?!?

        Crazy how many “new” series and books are trying to the same, yet poorly.

    • Timeloose

      Most of them I read were the Falconburg Legion series. They are great sci-fi war books.

      Niven did bring a lot to the Motie books.

  7. mikey

    Glad to see the boys are still doing fine. Iโ€™ve been worried about them

    • rhywun

      I’ve kind of lost the narrative – are they about to reunite with Donald or something? At least they’re in Florida.

      • Timeloose

        Trump hasnโ€™t been in the news much compared to the heyday. It must be hard to remain topical with actual sound bytes.

  8. Tundra

    The Hat will eventually rule the world.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      We would be better off

    • Ownbestenemy

      I would gladly put a golden hat up as a shrine.

  9. WebDom

    Golf clap golf clap

  10. rhywun

    Haven’t played this in a while.

  11. Chafed

    That whole balloon dust up finally makes sense.

  12. Gustave Lytton

    What a shock. Portland “surprised” by yet another mid afternoon snow storm.

    Feeling a bit salty. Internet not working and POS fly by night ISP is pissing me off. Trouble is in their network yet they want to charge me a fee to fix it. Even told them where their problem is. Fuck off amateurs, welcome to the real world. Every backseat driver thinks they know how to run a telco until they actually run one and make the Keystone Kops look like professionals.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Also, not snowing enough here.

      • Chafed

        It sounds like you aren’t drinking enough.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      Itโ€™s the monkeys running the switchboards?

  13. Tres Cool

    suh’ fam
    whats goody

    • Ownbestenemy

      Rather than tack on OT to what would be a 16 hour day, I just shifted my schedule to work midnight to 9am. Not bad. Graves is so nice cause there is absolutely no one here except a couple of controllers. Fixed what I needed to fix but baffled at another problem. I am thinking its because I am running the following setup: processor – usb to KVM – usb to PS2 to a specialised keyboard and trackball. My goal is to get another standard keyboard and mouse to play nice, but I think the KVM is giving me grieve. Will have to test on an actual box.

      • Ownbestenemy

        And now onto adaptation prep. These are easy but we got a big one coming up when we align our radar from magnetic north to true north.

  14. hayeksplosives

    To all Glibs:

    “I love you, man” *hiccup*

    Looking at apartments friday. Getting excited!

  15. Ownbestenemy

    Its quiet…too quiet.

    • Rat on a train

      Bees are on the what now?

    • hayeksplosives

      I feel the same way. Itโ€™s ominous.

      Somebody please hold my hand. Iโ€™m afraid.

      • Not Adahn

        How *you* doin’?

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Oh shit! Here they come! (Trump grand jury foreman running her mouth like a fool)
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C_0cITmGM0

      Iโ€™m sure she was fair and impartial and gave the target of the investigation a fair shake.

      • Not Adahn

        She’s literally a witch. I wonder if she was part of the “casting hexes at Trump” group.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Much like the high level DOE guy who stole dresses and posted the results on Twitter, you canโ€™t make this shit up.

      • Ownbestenemy

        That was my comment until the server ate it.

  16. Ownbestenemy

    Hmm, Trump doing these types of things is good. Go, provide support but out of the way. I am sure he will fuck it up today though.

  17. Rat on a train

    Weather forecast for Spotsyltucky: high ~80.

    • UnCivilServant

      That doesn’t sound right. Check the thermometer settings

      • Not Adahn

        He didn’t say when the forecast was for.

      • Rat on a train

        1600EST

  18. Not Adahn

    When I read the title, I was amazed that CPRM somehow found inspiraiton and worked so fast on the news about the Koonz statuette breaking.

  19. Sean

    God damnit, I’m gonna have to fire 2 employees.

    I hate interviewing new ones.

    >.>

      • Not Adahn

        Stealing lemons.

      • UnCivilServant

        ๐Ÿ‹?

        Now I’m even more confused

      • Not Adahn

        Don’t google it at work.

      • UnCivilServant

        It’s my policy to not dig too deeply into reference made on this site that I don’t understand.

      • Sean

        lol

      • Rat on a train

        stealing luggage

      • Sean

        They’re just bad employees. ๐Ÿ™

      • Rat on a train

        So not a union shop?

      • R C Dean

        Short term pain for long term gain, then.

  20. R.J.

    It was so busy last night I didnโ€™t even see this! Thank you!
