Fair Glibertariat, I am sick. And the only thing worse than trying to recap My Lady Pain Jane when feeling 100% is trying to do it when you’re sick. Especially because episode 5 is already like a fever dream, what with all the nuns and the decadent Labyrinth masquerade scenes and the random introduction of a Maguffin halfway through the series.
So in lieu of a recap this week, I present you with this montage of Stan Dudley being Stan for 51 seconds. Now feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
I feel dumber having watched that montage.
It’s chilling thinking she watches the entire thing just to entertain us with the non-toxic doses.
I think I have a fairly strong constitution but then I see what she puts herself through, and I realize how truly weak I am.
Failed your saving throw, eh?
Saving throw? What do you think this is? Some adolescent game?
Sanity check please.

RJ, does Neph have advantage or disadvantage?
I’m sorry, Aloysious, but you’re holding the wrong rulebook.
To be honest, it looks so bad that it might be good.

I am sick.
I hope it’s not brain damage from watching this show.
In the spirit of Woke Charmed: Tudors edition, I would like to offer up some culture.
Strut by the one and only Steven Seagal.
Here, he adopts a reggae style, and sings about the punani. I don’t know what a punani is, I’m assuming some kind of regional crepe.
Such refinement, much class. I’ve done Ted’s proud.
some kind of regional crepe
Cousin to a taco.
“some kind of regional crepe”
I misread that…
Perfect for Kamala’s inauguration party.
Tangential, but this remains a hilarious breakdown of current-day Seagal

My wife watches Filipino shows. This sound effect is over used and grating.
I think one of you posted that not long ago. I’ve sent that to a few people. I still can’t believe that exists.
Back in the early aughts a guy who worked on some really big movies spoke at my film schools, and talked about when he met with Seagal about possibly doing a movie.
Seagal sat in a kimono in a pagoda surrounded by Dobermanns and kept talking about how he knew about the CIA’s time machine.
That’s just perfect.
Was she there?
Because that would be pretty cool.

Something like this?
A relevant YouTube documentary!
By the standards of fake martial artists, Steven Seagal is on the classy side. He’s at least managed 2-½ pretty good movies.
Yeah, my brother is one of you and we used to get some good laughs, particularly in Under Siege and beyond.
And I agree, the first two were good movies. Looking at the list I must have tapped out after On Deadly Ground.
In today’s Quest for Occult Knowledge, I have learned how to access the secret service menu for Chromeleon 7.X
Was it just a matter of separating into its underlying components?
Actually, it was similar to the procedure in 6.X, but tricksier.
For Chromeleon 6, you’d open the online help window, and type ctrl+shift+0. This would open anew window and generate a number back in lower right corner of the help window. You would type that number into the new popup window backwards in order access the secret service menu (that lets you deactivate safeties and interlocks, including those that serve no purpose other than to buy consumables from ThermoFisher).
The version 7… version is to hold down ctrl+shift, then used the mouse to select “About Chromeleon [version number]” under the help toolbar. And to make it even more secure, you need to type an “a” before the first and second digit of the number (read backwards).
Any you people think Astrology is nonsense.
It’s the way I feel about the touch and swipe gestures on my iPad.
It’s like three fingers swiped diagonally from the right to the left. It needs to be fast but not too fast…

TOK – regarding reverse storm surge…not exactly the same way, but we’ve gotten some crazy windstorm weather in NoVA before – a few times the last decade where the potomac is nearly dry (stream in the middle), between tides, high (constant wind) and additional seasonal considerations. Really nuts to see.
Not as interesting as the pics near where I live, but I’m too lazy to dig right now.

Not at the same level, but this happens every couple of years around here. I’ve been caught driving on there twice when the waves were coming over.
Obviously due to sea level rise.
I blame Moses.
It makes sense, when water levels rise that water has to come from somewhere. A lot of people died during that big tsunami because the water went out and they didn’t realize how fast it would come back in. It is pretty shocking when you see it.
Yeah, the rule of thumb I always heard was if you see the water pulling back further than normal, it’s time to head to high ground.
I missed it yesterday: On October 9th, 1967, Che Guevara magically transformed from a bad commie to a good commie.
“I am Che Rivera and I’m worth more to you alive than dead.”
Supposedly his words when he surrendered. Funny that he understood the value proposition, what with him being a communist and all, right before a bullet permanently washed his brain.
SNL kinda made fun of the left! Amazing! A real esoteric choice to make Vance look like an Asian Transman.
Speaking of feeling ill, I give you the Taco Bell 50K ultramarathon:
https://coloradosun.com/2024/10/10/taco-bell-50k-ultramarathon-denver-crunch-wrap/
31 miles, 10 menu items at 10 stores; if you vomit you’re out.
“Evans, who was in second, found herself in front not because she passed the leader, but because the leader barfed right in front of her as the two were running to the seventh stop. It was a sobering moment.”
Mildly related, there’s always the beer miles and (somewhat locally) the Tour De Donut.
Wow. Beer mile is for real.
Marathon du Medoc
(on the wife’s bucket list)
Another Beer Mile in CA. https://www.tuff.ventures/buff
Deadhead participates in a few ultra-marathons that involve beer drinking, I believe.
So I don’t run unless I’m being chased by demons, but the Marathon du Medoc looks like it could be a fun time…
My wife has suggested we do the Honolulu Marathon, but the Marathon du Medoc looks much more fun. She works for a winery, so maybe she can expense it.
The only issue with the Marathon du Medoc for my wife is that the 6 1/2 hour cutoff might be an issue these days, even without stopping for wine.
I think she’d just have to go into it resigned to DNF.
This 20 min video of a guy running the whole thing (in a respectable 4:10) really gives a good feel for it:

I really hope I’m never in a lecture or something when a group of soyed-up, self-satisfied, never-had-a-job, know-it-alls decides to take over in order to save democracy/the planet/etc., because I don’t want lengthy jail time for assault.
Maybe someone calls 911 and says “My God, I think they shot a cop.”? Of course you then risk the cops shooting the wrong people.
Fuck off, commie.
I am sick.

Speaking of crappy video “entertainment” I watched this bit of mental excrement the other night.
Ethel Kennedy, Mother of RFK jr, died. Of shame, probably.
Weird
The morning after Vice President Kamala Harris handily defeated Donald Trump in a debate, the Democrat’s campaign announced that she wanted to debate him again. The former president initially expressed reluctance to the idea before declaring a day later that there would be no rematch.
——-
In fact, the all-caps, 135-word tirade that the former president published to his social media platform was quite weird. Trump insisted that he “won” the previous debate (he didn’t), claimed he’s “leading in the all the polls” (he’s not), and concluded “there is nothing to debate” (there’s plenty to debate).
Kamala wiped the floor with him. If MSNBC says it, it’s true.
They’re trying to resurrect the “weird” thing, eh? Even back when it had some traction it was stupid and it’s even stupider now.
It had “traction” to the extent that America didn’t really know anything about Walz yet.
As usual, it is projection 💯% of the time with them.
Huh while he did terrible as time went on people actually were saying she lost
lolwut
Oh, MSNBDNC. Carry on.
Huh while he did terrible as time went on people actually were saying she lost
She mostly stuck to her script and dutifully spouted her substanceless slogans.
If that’s how you define winning.
That, and Trump rambled all over the place.

That song should be on the playlist at Trump rallies.
Brooks, I agree that she “won” the debate, but she never got an uptick in the polls. Here we are weeks later and the only thing people remember is “They’re eating the cats”, which turned into a few viral songs.
Like this beauty.
They have got to be so frustrated that the biggest “gotcha” moments turn into viral memes and actually help the guy.
Probably more appropriate for a SugarFree day, but if I have to cringe, so do you.
Penile Replantation after Self-Amputation Following Psilocybin-Induced Drug Psychosis
Mildly NSFW if you scroll through to the images.
Nooooooope.

Not as bad as I expected. But I have a pretty good grossness tolerance.
Think of the possibilities!
Excellent choice. That song slaps, as the kids say. (Do they still say that?)
I think “Penile Replantation” will the title of my experimental psychedelic prog art-rock band’s second album.
Or maybe that’s better for my grind-core project.
That’s something Mojeaux used to document for medical procedures.
Horrifying, but impressive nonetheless.
Kind of like my own penis, in fact.
ducks, runs for cover
I can’t wait till this election is done. Fucking tired of people (especially 0n the Left) working themselves up in a frenzy at the possibility of a 2nd Trump Administration. I want Trump to win but if he does, I’m not looking forward to the wailing and gnashing of teeth 24/7 and the fever dream that we will be living in the Fourth Reich.
Fifth. The Fourth was 2017-2021.
It just didn’t feel that Reich-y and we missed it.
I wasn’t alive during the Third Reich but I swear that I didn’t see anyone go to the camps or us trying to invade Canada or Mexico.
You will be even more tired of leftist BS after the election. No matter who wins. They will either gloat or go on a rampage.
If they win they will go down the Bill of Rights negating them one by one, in order to ensure there is never a populist movement ever again.
If they lose, I expect rioting, and the Dem leadership has already talked about opposing Trump at every turn, including not certifying the election if that’s an option.
“It’s different when we do it – we had to destroy Our Democracy™ in order to save Our Democracy™”
And the toothless GOP will meekly try to protest it but secretly go along with the whittling of our BOR.
At least we don’t have a lot of Trump/Harris ads (I’ve only seen a handful of Harris ads).
Brown/Moreno ads on the other hand… I want them both to lose.
Most of my neighbors have a Brown sign sitting aside their Harris/Waltz signs in their front yards. I’ve probably seen like three Moreno signs and they were all in Shaker Heights. Coincidently, I think his son in law who is a rep grew up in Shaker.
And Neph I have a question. How do you feel about the gerrymandering referendum?
Ed:
In general, I’m against it. Especially because of the groups supporting it. It’s not anti-gerrymandering, it’s different gerrymandering. As it stands, the current commission is heavily weighted pro-Republican (as Brown is the only statewide elected Democrat and it’s three elected officials, and four appointed ones from elected officials). The new rules go for five Republicans, five Democrats, and five “independent or members of other parties”, and requires a vote of 9 with at least two from each group. I stand against, and HATE anything that gives more codification to the Republicans and Democrats as the “main parties”, and would rather it be forcing the lines to be either county, city, or city level districts to make the state wide districts.
When I saw the public sector unions supporting it, I knew it was something fishy going on.
Ed:
One of the small joys I get in my life is hearing the progs complain about how their “rights” are being trampled by the state. I mean, how dare the state say they can’t ban guns, they have RIGHTS!
“I’m not looking forward to the wailing and gnashing of teeth 24/7”
I kind of am.
I live in an incredibly Progressive part of Northeast Ohio and all of my in laws are liberals so while the tears will be funny for a minute, it’ll get old real fast.
Offer to help them pack up to move to Canada.
I take joy in it because coming from Chicago I know exactly how they feel. I can buy as many guns as I want and my commie neighbors and the commie neighbor can’t do dick about it Ohio’s state law supersedes the village and county.
I am also really sick and tired of all the commercials. I have never seen so fucking many of them.
I’m getting more spam texts than usual too.
🙁
A canvasser the local Democrat Party knocked on my door and I decided to engage. I told her that I’m a libertarian who hates both the major parties and my wife is a good old fashioned Democrat. She was super nice but taken aback by my aversion towards the Dems.
I hate the GOP but I despise the Dems and don’t think they should be anywhere near power. And also pissed that I may have to vote Trump simply because the opposition are a bunch of authoritarian morons.
PS: Fuck the Libertarian Party for not having better candidates.
Today I got likes from Jay Bhattacharya and Walter Kirn on Twitter. It won’t be long before I have my own talk show.
You’re totally on a list now.

Nobody’s ever seen a list like this before.
Classy list. The classiest.
