Wednesday Afternoon Sugarlinks – Rage Batein!

by | Mar 20, 2024 | Daily Links | 171 comments

This looks like shit. Shit, shit, shitty shit.

Plot twist: The hairy baby tears its way out with bone claws. Scott demands a paternity test. Logan fucks off to Japan to avoid child support. Jean moves back home and re-connects with her first boyfriend but is devastated to find out he is a Joe Rogan fan. Feral baby kills and eats a moose. Storm and Jean move in together and co-parent. They open an artisanal cheese shop and have a dozen rescue dogs. Logan Jr. fights them to lead the pack and quickly ages due to his all-meat diet. Lady Deathstrike is his kindergarten teacher. Juggernaut is the gym coach. Jean becomes Dark Phoenix on parent-teacher night.

The show-runner was fired. There is an opening.


 

Shit, shit, shity-shit.

Just. I mean. Fuck.

Real tweet, since deleted.


 

Dammit, Cracky. What have you done now?

Hunter and James Biden accused of lying to Congress by House GOP impeachment witnesses — one says he’s ‘at grave risk’ for coming forward

Hunter demanded a public hearing and then refused to show up for it. Republicans pounce.


 

The remake trailer was such suck, I didn’t even want to post it to bitch about it.

  1. Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

    There’s 97 of those damn movies already? Things are breeding like flys!

  2. Sean

    I’m hopeful about the Fallout series.

    • UnCivilServant

      I’m still cautious.

      Amazon can fuck up a sure thing.

    • Nephilium

      I’m not. Bethesda has not inspired confidence in understanding the property they acquired.

      • EvilSheldon

        Fallout 2 is one of the games on my ‘Needs Redevelopment’ list. Still turn-based, but with comprehensive bug fixes, and add in all the stuff that the developers had to leave out to make the deadline…

      • Nephilium

        There’s some hope, I’ve seen some rumblings about remakes of FO1/FO2, but those have been going on for a while now. While we’re wishing for remakes/remasters/redevelopment of games, can I get the original Deus Ex cleaned up? How about Thief? I may even be up for Dawn of War 2.

      • UnCivilServant

        What I would want added is very basic – autosave.

        I had gotten to some form of giant molerat (as I understand there were several in FO2, so I can’t say which one), had to blow up rubble blocking an exit, set the timer, moved to a safe distance… and got impatient, so I went to check to see if I’d actually set the timer only to get blowed up and find myself several hours further back and unwilling to replay that much of the game.

      • Nephilium

        That’s one of the big culture shocks going back to play older games. SESO.

      • Compelled Speechless

        There’s probably a handful of games from the late 90s/early 00s where something similar happened to me. You realized you somehow just put in 4 hours and neglected to save even once and never went back to it. The pendulum has swung too far the other way and now you’re never penalized more than 30 seconds for dying thanks to autosave leaving death with no consequences whatsoever. I think that’s part of the appeal of Soulslikes.

      • EvilSheldon

        There’s an excellent fan remake of the original Deus Ex. Not DX:Revision, but a mod that kept the original soundtrack and added in a bunch of stuff that was either cut or bugged out in the original release. I’ll have to wait until I get home to get the name of the mod, though.

        My dream is to see a modern expanded remake of Interstate ’76, and for The Saboteur (aka Grand Theft Auto: Occupied Paris) to get finished and re-released.

      • Nephilium

        It would be appreciated.

        I recall some fun with I-76, but some jank as well. I just saw another fun (but flawed) game just made it to GOG, Alpha Protocol. Steam sales can get it down to $2. A spy game with some story branching, skills, and multiple paths to the solution.

    • Swiss Servator

      Abandon All Hope Ye Who Watch Here.

      • R.J.

        I’m stealing that.

      • SDF-7

        Crap….. crap never changes.

    • SDF-7

      Given Bethesda seems to be trying their damnedest to fuck it up since Fallout 4 (at least), I’m not.

      • Nephilium

        Fallout 3.

        The “But thou must!” at the end burned quite a lot of good will. The being unable to attach children, and the other changes in the systems didn’t endear me to begin with.

    • Bobarian LMD

      +1 Boyd Crowder, wasteland mutant.

    • R C Dean

      I’l give Fallout: the TV Show a go. Just from the trailer, the heroine annoys me, but hey: Goggins.

      • Ownbestenemy

        If they are going naive to the world outside to potential badass…then it could work. But that clip..she’s annoying as all fuck.

  3. kinnath

    Plot twist: . . . . .

    I assume this is all real and not SF making shit up.

    • SugarFree

      No, that is where I would take the story. They aren’t brave enough to follow my lead.

      • kinnath

        I can’t tell anymore . . . . .

    • Nephilium

      The girlfriend already watched the first two episodes. She was enjoying it so far, and she was trying to rewatch the original before this dropped.

      Of course, she did make it through Echo, which I didn’t even start.

      • Brochettaward

        They fired the showrunner before the shit even aired. He was a gay black man.

        I think that tells you everything you need to know about it.

        Also, it’s that shitty modern animation style I hate in American cartoons.

      • Chai Girl

        The X Men 97 show was not bad. Very much like the cartoon we watched in the 1990s. Of course there is a plot twist after the first and second episode.

        Echo was not great.

      • Common Tater

        Unless you are watching Dollhouse.

    • Cunctator

      Plot twist

      —“Feral baby kills and eats a moose.”—

      My sister got bitten by a moose.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti…

  4. Brochettaward

    They turned Storm into a magical negro!

  5. Brochettaward

    I can’t tell if Mike Sington wants to fuck Barron or if he’s talking about how they can slander and lie about him like anyone else with the last name Trump.

    • Brochettaward

      I should say wants to get fucked by Barron because he’s got bottom energy.

      • EvilSheldon

        Dude, look at his avatar photo. Have you ever seen a creepier leer? The only question is whether he wants to be the bread, or the filling…

      • Compelled Speechless

        Bottom energy and Firsting energy are indistinguishable in my eyes.

      • Brochettaward

        With your head crammed so far up your ass, you don’t have to worry about anyone putting anything else up there.

      • Compelled Speechless

        I like it when you get spicy. I’ll be your Barron….

    • SugarFree

      Yes.

    • SDF-7

      Embrace the power of AND?

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Judging by the other tweets that guy has made, it’s pretty clear it’s the former.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        And besides, when have Republican kids been off-limits for lies and slander?

    • SDF-7

      Speaking of bottom energy….

      • Sensei

        Thank you!

      • bacon-magic

        Haven’t heard that since the ’90s.

  6. Common Tater

    Glad the made-up cartoon people aren’t real names.

    • Nephilium

      I’ll tell the Joes, Kates, and Craigs that they don’t have real names.

  7. Common Tater

    I don’t play video games, but the latest Razorfist is pretty good.

    • Brochettaward

      I didn’t realize that the feds got in on the Gamergate stuff. I shouldn’t be surprised.

      • Compelled Speechless

        At this point I just start with the assumption that the feds are, on some level, involved in anything that gets news coverage.

    Is that intentionally kicking CPRM in the balls?

    • Bobarian LMD

      Are you saying he’s the Joe in the cartoon?

      • juris imprudent

        No, the description of the IP.

    • juris imprudent

      Oh and from the ded-thred, when I bought the Cummins powered RAM in Maryland, it was the dealer there (who was registering it in PA for me). I have no idea how enforceable said agreement is – but I guess it covered their asses.

      • SDF-7

        I tend to go more Micron or Crucial, myself.

      • Sensei

        Fewer EPA fines that way.

      • Compelled Speechless

        You must not have a thriving crypto farm.

      • R C Dean

        I’m guessing, not enforceable at all. What’s the damages to the dealer if you do? At a practical level, how is the dealer ever going to know, and even if they find out, what are they going to do? Drop a few thousand filing a legal complaint?

        If it was me, I’d be tempted to sell it into CA just as a fuck you.

      • Ted S.

        I’d guess CA wouldn’t let you register it.

    “Earlier this month, the organization subpoenaed the private communications of Jamie Reed, a former case manager at St. Louis Children’s Hospital gender clinic, who alleged in a sworn affidavit that vulnerable kids are being “automatically issued puberty blockers.”

    Reed, who self-identifies as queer and progressive, recalled a patient who had a double mastectomy and later asked for her breasts to be “put back on,” as well as children identifying as mushrooms, rocks and helicopters being given gender-affirming medication….

    In July, the ACLU filed a suit challenging the law, representing families of transgender youth, LGBT groups and doctors providing gender affirming care. It’s now been revealed that the group also hit Reed — who isn’t involved in the case — with a subpoena.

    According to documents posted by reporter Jesse Singal, Reed’s communications with patients, journalists, politicians, legal groups, the Missouri attorney general and law enforcement were all requested by the plaintiffs’ attorneys, five of whom are affiliated with the ACLU.

    Lawyers from the ACLU also specifically asked for “all communications” between Reed and Singal concerning the gender clinic. That request was only retracted after Singal reached out to the ACLU; he tweeted that a staffer told him it had been a mistake…

    In 2020, Chase Strangio, a staff attorney and deputy director for Trans Justice with the ACLU LGBT & HIV Project, openly advocated for banning Abigail Shrier’s book “Irreversible Damage: The transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.”

      It’s been done

    • Suthenboy

      Is anyone surprised? Cultural marxism, demoralization, brainwashing, whatever you want to call it is about filling children’s heads full of pure shit and then putting them in charge after they bloom into grown-up, full blown pure lunatics.
      We allowed this to happen by not putting the purveyors of it in gibbets.

      • SDF-7

        I can’t shake the belief that if this also drive the population down, the current crop of elite idiots aren’t going to complain.

      • R C Dean

        Eh, too long to take effect, too marginal on total numbers. They aren’t that fucking smart, people. They certainly aren’t that patient.

      • Common Tater

        What I am surprised is that no one is going after these doctors licenses.

      • Suthenboy

        The medical boards are on board with the horrors. I think the kiddie docs board recently endorsed irreversible medical mutilation and psychological destruction of children.

    March Madness brackets are always fun because you get to see the guy who knows a lot about college hoops lose to the girl who picks teams based on which has the cuter mascot.

      “Fuck you. You are going to eat it and like it.”

      The one part of Atlas Shrugged that I remember the most is Dagny’s visit to the ruins of the 20th century motor company and sees a former employee dressed in rags digging in the dirt with a stick to cultivate enough food for his family. That is the totalitarian’s wet dream.

      It is hard to remain hopeful when you see us careening towards that state at breakneck speed and so many people are cheering it on.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Wait until AI moves along and getting a charge or not is behavior based. It might be ten years off but this is the beginning of restriction of movement and it won’t be accomplished through exhorbitant pricing only. It’s the authoritarian’s wet dream.

  11. Compelled Speechless

    SF, I see your guide to cucking is only the first of six pages. When can we expect the other five? Asking for a friend.

    • Suthenboy

      You just want the page where the husband is crying and holding his wife’s hand while Biff, or whatever his name is, is railing her.

      • Compelled Speechless

        That’s not true! I want to know how the couple found the guy and courted him……for academic purposes…….for my friend.

    • SugarFree

      They are at the link above the page I posted. It just gets worse and worse.

    • Suthenboy

      Recycled stuff, save metals, are more expensive than non-recycled stuff.
      The dollar is a measure of value. The price of stuff indicates how much resources were consumed in the production and transportation of said stuff. The great majority of the resource consumed is energy.
      See: Electric Vehicles. Vastly more expensive because they consume vastly more resources in production/delivery. Also, use far more energy than ICE vehicles. Dumbest scam in history….well, on par with global warming at least. Thinking about it the cootie bug hysteria is up there as well.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        I read an analysis called The Myth of Recycling (I think that was it) and that’s exactly what they said, that the only recycling processes that make economic sense are metals and even those depend on market prices.

      • Plinker762

        My simple analysis is that if you leave something outside and someone steals it, it has value. Metals disappear, plastic doesn’t and cardboard sometimes does for hobo hotels.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        It was published around 2006, was around 200 pages long, and you managed to summarize it quite accurately. Looks like it’s been internet memoryholed because damned if I can find it.

      • Suthenboy

        Good point.
        I was going to melt down empty plastic water bottles to cast a non-bouncy plastic hammer. I looked at all of the videos on how to work with high density polyethylene and gave up the idea. The goobers doing stuff like that to ‘save’ plastic, the planet, water whatever were spending much more time, effort and money than if they had just bought a new one. I gave up on the idea. My comment to all savers of the earth: “Stop making it worse!”

      • Suthenboy

        Aluminum especially. To make metallic aluminum the ore is put in strong acid, the metal dissolves out and then electrodes are put into. the acid bath.
        To cause 1lb of Al to plate out takes exactly 984.321 short shit-tons of electricity. On top of that the crusher’s electric motors require 0.273 X that many shit tons to crank up (starting an electric motors requires a great deal more power than running it). Once back in the ’70s a number of Al refineries cranked up their crushers at the same time and blacked out Phoenix entirely.
        the stuff is much cheaper to recycle compared to any other resource because of the huge amount of energy required to start from ore.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      The article specifically relates to bags deposited at drop-off sites which are mingled with so-called “single-use” plastic bags, which gum up the sorting machines. So yeah, it’s no surprise that most of them are just disposed of.

    I saw some google nooz headlines about the EPA rule. WaPo and NYT were highly enthusiastic and complimentary [Biden saves planet, kulaks and wreckers hardest hit]. Somebody else, I can’t remember who, in the ecofanatic vanguard, said they were disappointing and insufficient.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      That’s how the game is played. Kulaks and wreckers are unhappy. Greenies are unhappy. The middle of the road people see that and assume it’s a good solution.

      • Suthenboy

        You would think any ordinary monkey would notice the dry cock in their bleeding asshole and recognize it as a clue.

        That image is a carryover from the previous Sugarverse post.

    Yay everybody, that guy who had the nerve to be born to the father he was born to is turning 18. Let’s ruin that fuck.

    • Suthenboy

      My wife called them ‘evil shit’ the other day. I protested that the dog turds in the back yard are insulted by her characterization. At least they make the grass greener.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Have you tried burying them? Those people, I mean. I’m sure they’d make the grass greener too.

      • Mojeaux

        Bury them vertically with six feet of dirt on top, dog bones, and another foot of dirt. That way, the radar won’t pick them up and when the dogs go crazy, the humans will hit dog bones and stop digging,

      • R C Dean

        Ain’t no way I’m digging a 12 foot deep hole when I’ve got all this desert.

    Trump’s son is fair game now? For what? Will we be seeing him on Page One of the Daily Mail coming out of Piggly Wiggly in shorts and flip flops with a box of Nutty Buddies?

    • Ted S.

      Yeah, change the name in that tweet to Sasha or Malia Obama and watch the reaction.

      • Common Tater

        There have been plenty of Sasha or Malia Obama paparazzi photos in the Daily Mail.

      • R C Dean

        Yeah, but when they turned 18 did anyone post “Woot! Fair game now!”.

      • Common Tater

        Probably. I remember several Olson twins countdowns.

  15. The Late P Brooks

    Renowned financial analyst offers advice

    New York Attorney General Letitia James is pushing back on Donald Trump’s “extraordinary” request for a stay of his $464 million civil fraud judgment, arguing the former president’s recent request was unreliable, procedurally improper and based on a flawed premise.

    “There is nothing unusual about even billion-dollar judgments being fully bonded on appeal,” Senior Assistant Solicitor General Dennis Fan said in a filing this morning. “Defendants object to a possible ‘fire sale’ if they were to sell assets to generate cash to use as collateral for a bond or as a deposit —but the alternative would be to shift the risk of executing on defendants’ illiquid assets to OAG.”

    ——-

    “Defendants supply no documentary evidence that demonstrates precisely what real property they offered to sureties, on what terms that property was offered, or precisely why the sureties were unwilling to accept the assets,” the filing said. “As far as the Court can infer, sureties may have refused to accept defendants’ specific holdings as collateral because using Mr. Trump’s real estate will generally need ‘a property appraisal’ … and his holdings are not nearly as valuable as defendants claim.”

    If Trump is unable to secure a single bond for the $464 million judgment, James said the former president could attempt to secure multiple smaller bonds – “$100 or $200 million apiece” – or consent to have his real-estate interests held by the Supreme Court to satisfy the judgment.

    We need all that detailed information so we can leak it to the press, or use it in future legal action against any entity foolish enough to go his bail.

    • Raven Nation

      I wonder why Trump might be having trouble making bond. It’s a mystery.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      If this was in any state other than NY (or Cali or maybe Illinois) I’d be pretty confident in stating that this’d be eventually overturned or at least drastically reduced but Trump’s screwed here. Summary judgement from a massively biased judge, the kind of sack of shit that shouldn’t be in charge of a hot dog cart much less a judge, along with a ridiculously skewed appeals system leaves him little chance.

      • Brochettaward

        I know Don likes to post the Gofundme satirically. I’m not giving Trump money, but it kind of ignores the point that this is banana republic shit. They are looking to ruin him because he got involved in politics.

        They are going to make a martyr out of Trump.

      • Compelled Speechless

        I haven’t voted since 2008. Between these kangaroo court trials and the attempts to have him taken off the ballot, the Ds have finally convinced me to get off my ass to cast a “fuck you” vote. Good work assholes. I have zero expectation that he’ll actually reign in spending or effectively reform immigration. But if his entire second term is a revenge tour solely focused on doing to them what they’ve done to him, it will be worth it.

      • R C Dean

        I wonder how many useful morons the FBI is cultivating right now for the assassination, myself.

      • Suthenboy

        I think they plan to burn the country down if he wins. They will go completely nuts and destroy everything.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I think they are serious when they started running articles that Congress has the duty to not certify him in hopes its his supporters not themselves who kick it off.

      • R C Dean

        My scenario:

        Trump wins in November, and holds up a major funding bill until $464MM is deleted from whatever is going to NYC. He also orders the Border Patrol to ship every asylum seeker there. And by every asylum seeker, I mean every one that came over during the Biden administration.

      • Brochettaward

        They will never let Trump back into office.

      • Mojeaux

        He ded. ☠️

      • R C Dean

        I would certainly not rule out an assassination. Whether they want a civil war or not, that would probably start . . . something nasty. Maybe not a full civil war (two governments fighting over the same country), but I would expect a nasty insurgency. And once those get going, I don’t think they tend to just fade away rather than escalate.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Biden knows he can beat an insurgency. They won’t have nukes or F35s.

      • KSuellington

        Predictions: Trump will win by a larger margin than he did in 2016. He will not be assassinated.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Then the Bolsheviks will be unleashed ten fold what they were in 2020 while the establishment tells us how their political violence is not happen/great that it’s happening.

      • Brochettaward

        Last time, they just tried staging a soft coup. That was ineffective.

        Now they are going to be getting a vengeful Trump. One who realizes oh shit…I can do things like pardon January 6thers.

        I appreciate you making a solid prediction, but are going to cheat their asses off to prevent it and they will be far, far more desperate to stop Trump from wielding the levers of power than they were before. And what they did last time was, barring assassination, the most extreme they’ve gotten in our nation’s history.

      • Brochettaward

        Russia collusion hoax was a soft coup. It was done by design to distract and derail him.

        What DO they attempt after that?

      • Suthenboy

        *Flips through history book*

        Check out 1861.

      • KSuellington

        The election is a 60/40 prediction. They could absolutely fortify or cheat on the margins to win it. I think it will be too large a margin to do that. The assassination prediction is a 90/10 one. I think that is highly unlikely.

      • KSuellington

        And as far as the “soft coup” (and i don’t even dispute the use of that term for the Russia bullshit) it didn’t exactly go so well for them. Sure you could say the process is the punishment, but they didn’t just want that, they wanted his head and they failed miserably in getting it. They aren’t nearly that smart. I think they will fail yet again.

    • Suthenboy

      “…his holdings are not nearly as valuable as defendants claim.”
      I am confused. Didn’t the state already make a case, maybe this one, that he criminally undervalued his properties? It is difficult for me to keep track of the kangaroo’s hopping.
      It is clear that the judicial I n this country has no regard whatsoever for their credibility. When people start ignoring them, what then? Jackboots, balaclavas and machine gun visits in the middle of the night? How much of that can they get away with.
      After this I expect a slew of similar actions against anyone who doesnt tow the lion regardless of the Governor’s assurance that this specious case is personal and only applied to Trump. NO ONE BELIEVES THAT.

      • Ownbestenemy

        It took all of a month for her to go after a beef producer for “Misrepresenting Environmental Impact of Their Products”. She just swapped out words and will probably copypasta the case too.

        It was a week after the gov tried to claim Trump was a unique case and was begging business to not leave.

      • Brochettaward

        Trump is an exception…as long as you keep your DEI score high enough, you have nothing to worry about.

    Future? What future?

    Conversely, there’s a decline in happiness among younger adolescents and young adults in the U.S. “The report finds there’s a dramatic decrease in the self-reported well-being of people aged 30 and below,” says editor Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, a professor of economics and behavioral science, and the director of the Wellbeing Research Centre at Oxford University.

    This drop among young adults is also evident in Canada, Australia and, to a lesser extent in parts of western Europe and Britain, too. “We knew that a relationship existed between age and happiness, but the biggest surprise is that it is more nuanced than we previously thought, and it is changing,” says Ilana Ron-Levey, managing director at Gallup.

    Baffling. Young people have been drowned in doom and gloom for a generation. The planet is dying. You’re more likely to be murdered by a classmate than survive to graduation. Democracy is in ruins. Work is for chumps. Personal excellence is racist. Boys are inherently evil. And on. And on.

    Why aren’t our children happy?

    • R C Dean

      With the usual caveats about the data, I have seen one study after another that shows a strong correlation between smartphone use and mental illness in young people.

      • Common Tater

        Epidemiological studies are usually crap.

    • Suthenboy

      What is being done to our children in this respect is pure evil.

      Plus the participation trophies dry up once you hit adulthood.

      I wonder if there are enough balls on the Court to slap the government silly over their massive and obvious censorship campaign. I have my serious doubts.

      Of course, even the Court does the right thing, it will be ignored.

      I keep hoping that I can get to believing reform is possible, but I just don’t. I couldn’t tell you when we crossed from “This can be fixed” to “Burn it to the fucking ground”, but here we are.

        If Biden gets “reelected” by such blatant cheating that even the True Bleevers have to switch from “fairest election ever” to “We HAD to cheat to save Democratsy, it was morally imperative to do absolutely anything to win”

        Then we’re at Burn It With Fire time.

    I have avoided, to the best of my ability, learning anything about this cop “goon squad” story. But the headlines are inescapable.

    My objection to the death penalty does not extend to anyone committing crimes of any kind under color of law.

    I would certainly not rule out an assassination. Whether they want a civil war or not, that would probably start . . . something nasty. Maybe not a full civil war (two governments fighting over the same country), but I would expect a nasty insurgency. And once those get going, I don’t think they tend to just fade away rather than escalate.

    I don’t believe the Other Side, from Biden all the way down, could for a moment restrain their glee if something were to happen to Trump.

    It would not go unnoted.

    • Common Tater

      They couldn’t restrain their glee after Sandy Hook.

      If it’s perceived to be more dangerous, for example because they have an IMHO legitimate fear that they’ll be the ones seeing the inside of a prison cell if he wins, to not take a shot at an opponent than to take a shot the temptation is going to be enormous. I could absolutely see it happening.

      These are the same people who cheered when Herman Cain died from Covid. They were giddy when Rush Limbaugh died.

      Wouldn’t that be a cybernetic man, not bionic? Or I guess a bit of both…either way…creepy and fascinating all in one.

        Does he make sound effects when he jumps?

      • Common Tater

        Only if he plays Nintendo.

      those are not ‘freak accidents’. They used to be much more common than they are now but they still happen all too often. Alcohol or drugs are usually involved.

        Both definitions of diving seem like they could be dangerous completely sober.

        It is, however the majority of them happen when a drunken partygoer dives in the shallow end of a pool by accident.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Growing up it seemed like there was at least one such case every summer in my town or in neighboring towns. And yes, it was usually drunk teenagers showing off.

      • Suthenboy

        It really is heartbreaking to see a young person lose so much of their life over a simple stupid mistake made in an instant of poor judgement.
        Some can overcome it (Charles Krauthammer) but most cannot.

      Limnology class. We studied the effects wind has on water in thermally stratified lakes that are long and narrow. We used lock ness as an example because the lake has been studied extensively. We looked at the sonar images top to bottom, end to end. We saw every single minnow in it. No monsters made an appearance. There are not enough fish in the lake to feed a large critter like that.
      Of course, in matters like this the true believers explained it away. “The monster lives in a cave at the bottom of the lake, that’s why you didn’t see it.”
      *Sigh* Is the critter a fish or a reptile? Why has no one seen it surfacing to breath? Again – it has lungs/gills like a garfish. It can breath both under and out of the water.
      Ok. I see where this is going.

        It’s an interdimensional being.

      • Suthenboy

        I have heard that one before too. I wonder, are STEVE SMITH and Nessie from the same or different dimensions?

      • R C Dean

        LOCH SMITH?

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        I always thought the large sexless eels that failed to make it to the ocean was the most compelling animal scenario but they haven’t even managed to find those. It’s fake wooden models and waves of various types all the way down.

      • Brochettaward

        To be fair to the believers, when it comes to UFO’s we have credible sightings, video of strange objects in the sky, radar detections etc. and it still isn’t enough for the critics. It’s still considered crackpot territory.

      • Suthenboy

        Cuz the govt is keeping UFOs soopur seekret. They dont want us to panic.

      • Brochettaward

        I don’t know how much of it is really secret as much as that even people who are skeptical of government believe what the government tells them on this without much critical thought.

        We have videos of this shit at this point. Taken by members of the military. We have just as credible of witnesses as we are going to get. We have them showing up on radar backing up witness accounts.

        What evidence is it going to take before people admit that something is going on?

      • Suthenboy

        Quarg hopping out of his flying saucer, shaking my hand and introducing himself?

      • Suthenboy

        Evolution weeded them out. Reincarnation is real. You die. You are re-hatched as a sexless eel. You notice you are sexless. An entire life without sex lies ahead of you. What the ever-loving fuck? You immediately kill yourself.
