Two days post-op.
I’m pretty jazzed. I had no idea what to expect from a total knee replacement, but this by far has been the easiest of four knee surgeries. Three days and I’m already bending to 90 degrees, and I replaced the walker with a cane today. I’ll take it.
Linkerdoos, anyone?
Oh, Ken. You took your self righteousness too far and became a target.
It will be interesting to see if they can achieve their goals.
I’m tellin’ ya, ten years until we’re back to candles for light.
There’s hope for grosspatzer!!!
Okay, we’re going to end with an homage to the late Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster. This badass nun died in 2019. They just exhumed her, and the body shows very little sign of decay, even though she wasn’t embalmed.
“Church of What’s Happenin’ Now”
A look at the marvelous life of our Sister of Perpetual Motion.
And to finish it off, a couple of offerings from Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. Faith not required, the human voice is the greatest instrument of all.
If you linked to the Sister of Perpetual Motion, doesn’t that make you a transphobe for not linking to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?
Appropriate music for the question.
It’s a holiday weekend, so the open Zoom is still running along, and I may even be able to pull myself away from Hyrule tonight to join.
I was thinking of this one
The other one I was thinking of was this one.
Hey, Neph, totally OT, but not weird for Glibz, have you ever had Echigo Beer? Claims to be Japan’s first Micro Brewery.
I have not. I’ve had Hitachino Nest several times. While I do generally respect the earlier craft brewers, I find that I generally don’t grab them when I’m in the store (Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, Rogue, and the like).
Black don’t crack, everybody knows that.
Why did they exhume her? That seems unusual.
Possible explanation
Thanks. I didn’t know that.
I was just saying the other day, while there actually is “there” there, and he probably should be impeached, it’s the kind of shit that probably would have been swept under the rug and ignored if he hadn’t become a heat score and been feuding with the Republican house speaker (who conservatives were already accusing of being a simp for the Democrats before all this happened). Shit show.
Can we assume that the years-long FBI investigation was totally not motivated by political considerations? Certainly they played it straight this time. Right?
The AG sounds scummy and criminal.
I can’t help but think this is the sort of shit that would never happen in a deep blue state with a Democratic AG. They just stick together more like a den of cockroaches.
Of course.
Until someone sensed an opportunity to whack a political rival. Which seems to be what happened here too.

Augustine considered it too great, because the skill of the singer became the object of focus and praise instead of God. It’s strange the way people can get addicted to asceticism as much as to anything else.
The counterpoint to that was the terrible singers who use the defense that they are praising the Lord with what the Lord gave them.
Dude, I’m doing the best I can.
A fine example of the genre:

Nevada lawmakers introduce bill to fund new Athletics stadium
I guess Las Vegas has officially arrived as a major city. The crime is ticking up, the corruption is thick as London fog, the traffic is ridiculous, and we’ve now got 2 major league sports teams playing in billion+ dollar publicly-funded stadiums for which taxpayers get hosed.
Congratulations?
the corruption is thick as London fog
Q: Did you hear about the man who went for a walk in the London fog and was never seen again?
A: He disappeared into thick air.
They will be getting a team with a good chance to make history. Record of 120 losses appears to be in jeopardy.
I guess there will be no more baseball in the Bay Area. If only there were more teams, they could cover that problem. Instead, they will be left with a stadium and a bunch of cheaters.
no more baseball in the Bay Area
Bernie Sanders can finally retire!
Feel better Spud. I hope your recovery keeps going well.
That looks gnarly.
I’ll stop bitching about my jerked-up back now.
Sexy man! Sexy man!

Thanks. Just what I needed after a nice dinner.
Those wings are stubby, like a peguins. They don’t fly so well.
Penguins are practicably chickens.
Let me know when I can get spicy chunks of penguin delivered cheap.
Penguin hardest hit.
“good sex is my secret to a long life”
Can confirm /humblebrag
Glad you are recovering well, Spud. You’ll be having good sex in no time. Live long and prosper!
Are you implying he’s gonna be down on his knees?
Are you implying you being on your knees is good sex?
Not my knees, but for some people it may be.
Is it time for cake?
It shouldn’t be an issue. Just grab one of the NPR ladies, yell “strap on, Bitch!” and he’s in the money.
Glad the knee thing is going good for ya. After my last visit to a doctor I have avowed to never see one again. I am done with tests, electrocution, probes, needles, cuffs, machines and fat chics trying to be pleasant. The whole medical industry complex held up by tax payer dollars can fuck off. They just want you on some prescription meds or injected with something. Both of which I won’t do.
Don’t hold back.
Tell us how you really feel.
Seriously. everyone working in every doctors office I have been to is obese. These are the people that should be giving health advice?
Electrocution?
I’m not sure WS was at a real doctor.
“Doc, why would you ask if Im polish?”
“Because Im an electrician.”
They just want you on some prescription meds or injected with something. Both of which I won’t do.
They’re selling subscriptions to pay for medical school.
Three days and I’m already bending to 90 degrees, and I replaced the walker with a cane today. I’ll take it.

Best wishes.
Destinus, a European start-up, has been developing a hydrogen-powered passenger jet that can reduce travel time from Europe to Australia to just over four hours, compared to the current 20-hour flight.
Why does this sound like fusion? “It’s ten years away!” for quite a while longer than ten years.
In an era of climate crisis with more intense storms and more frequent wildfires, and other disasters such as global pandemics, ham radio is becoming a tool for some who want to regain a modicum of control.
OF COURSE! The Guardian had to mention climate change in an article on ham radio.
There is the little issue of sonic boom. The SST could only do oceanic routes because of the boom.
We like the planes, the planes that go BOOM.
We are KK and Tigra, and we like, the BOOM!
I yell you, they get paid for mentioning climate change.
That may actually be true.
Climate change causes pandemics?
It’s got what germs crave.
Attaboy! As someone who has had both knees replaced, the only advice I can give you is to schedule the pain meds. Don’t skip a dose.
I skipped a dose (It doesn’t hurt that bad….Holy PHOCK, it hurts bad!) and could not concentrate on a MN Twins game. I still do the PT exercises 2 years after. I don’t know why I waited so long to have the surgery done.
My left shoulder is next. And I can feel the restriction in my right shoulder increasing.

Just watched the Monaco qualy. What a show. I was hoping Alonso would take it, but that was a great fight in the end. I love the new camera angles they had for the broadcast.
It was a wild ending; Verstappen is down 2/10ths after the first two sectors and I’m thinking , “that’s it, Alonso on pole” (which would be cool) then Max pulls 3/10ths out of the final sector – just incredible.
Yeah Verstappen just ripped that last sector. I thought the old man had it in the bag there. Let’s see how the face goes, qualy is usually ore entertaining at Monaco but there have been some surprises there over the years.
Isn’t the point of baseball to sleep through it?
That’s a pretty smooth leg there Spud. You’ll be wearing a short skirt and dancing before long.
“Knee replacement? Oh no sir. You were in for a sphincterectomy.”
I’ve been ignoring the Celtics but, holy crap was that a wild finish.
Unbelievable. Never expected a Game 7 after the first three games.
Are you furiously masturbating again?
We know he isn’t furiously Firsting with those hands, like I am.
I put on ESPN for SportsCenter and Alabama softball is on. So… maybe
This gives me some hope. My mom is terrified of getting surgery on her knee for her arthritis because every story she’s heard is that she’ll be laid up for months.
Athena,
I wish that I could offer encouragement but the fact is that I was still recovering from my knee surgery six months later.
Today, 6 1/2 years later my fake knee hurts as much as my real one.
In from day 1 of the three-day race around Oahu. We think we are doing well. Today for excitement I nearly ran over a whale shark. Luckily someone spotted it first and I made a minor steer correction and it just passed close aside. Pretty neat thing to see.
Looks like you’re going to need a bigger boat.
Good morning, fellow reprobates!
Good morning, Ted’S. How are you today?
Good show, Spud.
I don’t envy you but seems like a lot of older people (my age) are getting overhauls as well
I’ll just limp along. I’m going fishing today with 2 of my classmates. Each has a different problem but between us all we can help one another into the boat. Fish don’t seem to know the damned difference. We can get skunked with the best.
Good morning, 4(20)! Hope the fish are biting today…unless that would interrupt your fun.
Mornin’ GT and Ted s’
