It’s Divisional Playoff weekend! I expect the Chefs to decimate the Texans. Baltimore/Washington could be a better game with the Rookie of the Year as the ‘skins qb versus Lamar Jackson, who could very well be the league MVP. I don’t think the ‘skins are quite ready for this level yet, though.
Note: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I screwed up. Leave me alone.
Links?
Never change Donny, never change.
“What are we going to do with all these pussy hats?”
I expect the Chinee will take Kevin O’Leary’s $20 billion cash deal.
Um, they died out for a reason?
Deep, dark secrets of the CIA. Insert eye roll emoji.
Okay, enough of that silliness. Peace out, Glibbies.
I said a couple of weeks ago that I would post this. I think “When The Levee Breaks” is a better compilation, this isn’t far behind.
So that’s your Super Bowl prediction? 🤔
Whoops! Screwed that six ways to Sunday. Well, I’m not changing it.
They were tasty and we hadn’t developed domestication yet?
When four Eurasian lynxes were released illegally into the Scottish Highlands this month…
Charles Darwin wasn’t Scottish, but he was always looking for the missing lynx.
Four isn’t a viable population, they’ll die out again in a few generations.
Maybe they’ll interbreed with domestic cats
Best get a sturdy scratching post for the resulting kittens. 😳🐆🐆🐆
You could buy leopards at stores in Britain up until the early 1970s, I think. All kinds of wild cats interbreeding out there in the English wood.
Leopards? Jeebus. I rank them behind tigers and ahead of lions on the list of “never want to meet in the wild”.
+2 aquatic iguanas.
If they want to do that, the first thing they have to do is convert the central Siberian prairie back into forest for habitat.
One steppe at a time, I suppose.
I believe forests were mastodon country.
Mammoths were not graminivorous, theirs was apparently more of a broad-leaf plant diet.

🙄 I acknowledge your pun with an eye roll, as is tradition.
More seriously though, a cloned woolly mammoth is not going to have the correct gut biome that it would have had from its mother 12000 years ago.
This smacks of playing God.
That’s a simple plain, more or less.

The Houstons are keeping it interesting.
Angelica for the touchdown!
She’s a man, baby!
That missed extra point is gonna come back to haunt them.
I don’t know if it’s my connection or the NFL broadcast, but the sound keeps cutting out for a second and coming back.
I’m watching on Hulu over Xfinity. Usually no problem.
Not a problem here (Fubo over Xfinity cable).
Watching OTA here and same thing.
Nice to see you! Happy new year and I hope you are well!
Happy New Year, Tundra!
I’m doin’ good ovah here.
Yes here too with YouTube TV.
I missed the last half of the last quarter. I was learning nursing things.
It’s not just you. Screen kept going black.
Does Tubi have it? See if they do. Maybe a better stream
Tubi has live football? Well, anyway, it was very annoying, but the game is over now.
Yes. They got rights to the superbowl. Maybe some other games too.
OK, cool, I didn’t know that.
I said a couple of weeks ago that I would post this. I think “When The Levee Breaks” is a better compilation, this isn’t far behind.
I saw that during the retardation. Perfect.
In other news, Kelce is a faggot.
How’s everyone tonight?
Yeah, what’s with that haircut?

This is CNN
A whole follow us guide on the Constitution.
Seems they discovered a copy and decided NOW is the time to maybe look at it. Of course, will be tossed when convient.
Surprising though, it’s missing thr 28th Amendment.
Totes objective.
“created a new type of immunity for presidents”
Out of thin air!
To be fair, immunity for government officials generally was created out of thin air. Clarifying how it applies to the President, however, was not “creating a new type of immunity”.
I still say this is completely backwards, up until the post-2020 lawfare against Trump it was generally assumed that presidents were immune from prosecution for actions taken while in office, and the Supreme Court’s ruling opened the door for future lawfare by saying they can be prosecuted if their actions aren’t part of their “official duties”.
LOL taps out.
“literal text”
LOL
Like, OMG.
The part I quoted got me. Cause I am sure I can find 100 articles on CNN that says fuck the constitiuon and president’s should just declare things.
I like the way the article flaps back and forth between reasonable annotations like this:
and random swipes at Trump
What is crazy…I like it, to a point. Yes we need to get back to understanding the Constitution and the press as a whole has that dying perspective to be able to do that.
It’s just ya’ll hacks (CNN) and it’s bullshit.
They weren’t kidding when they said flamin’ hot
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – A judge sentenced a woman to 12 years in prison after using Takis tortilla chips to set fire to a Springfield home with three people inside it.
Patricia Williams, 44, pleaded guilty to first-degree arson for sparking the house fire in the 2300 block of North Weller Avenue on August 11, 2023. Investigators said witnesses said the fire had been intentionally set and identified Williams.
That’s a hard forty-four. Suffice it to say, she’s no hottie.
The fourth quarter is proceeding as expected.
I guess delusion hasn’t left the building eight years later. You keep telling yourselves that you’re just “fatigued”. Have an energy drink or something; that will put you in power again. 🙄
It’s exhausting battling reality.
Sidelinked on the Adolf bit.
😂🤣
Is it possible that he has opened a dictionary and looked up the meaning of “fascist”…?
“Charlemagne can read” is an implication that is lacking evidentiary support, as far as I know.
He was smart enough not to support BLM.
While his claim was ridiculous, kudos to the guy for rethinking his position.
Yeah, that puts him above, well, anyone on MSM.
Adolph a tender lover? When I have time, I’ll recount what an acquaintance once told me about “Aunt” Eva and “Wolf.”
Fascism is the least defined ‘ideology’ out there. It is so ill defined that I am not sure the word is useful except as an insult at this point. It’s supposedly right wing, yet every fascist movement so far subordinates private ownership of industry and finance to the State, installs or expands the social safety net, and overturns tradition in favor of its own manufactured cultural symbols and customs.
Brute force alone is not enough to subjugate a people. Bribery in the form os socialism is required.
The smaller, quieter march is a reflection of the muted exasperation and a likely symptom of political fatigue that has settled in among anti-Trump forces that were once the driving force of American politics.
They got their heads handed to them. That tends to wear you down.
The people failed them. The Replacement Project didn’t bring in a new People fast enough.
They’ll remember how the American People betrayed them, and double down.
This. That is it in a nutshell.
“Once they are demoralized you cannot fix them. No matter how much authentic information you give them they cannot draw a sensible conclusion.” – That Russian dude.
In the morning line OMWC referred to The Devil and Daniel Webster. I wonder if that is taught/read/explained in school these days?
Stop. The question is rhetorical.
Also, regarding the CNN article: I have a reflexive ad-hominem reaction these days to anything coming from the left. They absolutely NEVER argue in good faith so as soon as they start speaking I just turn them off in my head. I dont bother listening to them anymore at all. I hear ‘CNN’ and before I hear what it is I turn my thoughts elsewhere.
I was sure the pussy hats would convince people.
Welp. 😁
Not really impressed with KC though, they seemed to catch every break during the regular season. I give either the Bills or Ravens a fair shot next week.
As long as there is a referee they have an edge.
This was a bit of a cleaner win than they’ve had most of the season. My husband is sooooooooo sick of me saying, “They’re being sloppy.”
Either it’s now against the rules to tackle a QB, or Taylor Swift promised to blow the refs.
As long as there is a referee they have an edge.
The Vikings say hey.
‘Not really impressed with KC though, they seemed to catch every break during the regular season.’
And last year they didn’t, finished 11-6, and still won the Superbowl. This year didn’t really feel any different aside from catching the breaks they fumbled last year. And here they are again in the AFC Championship Game for the seventh straight year…with a bit more luck on their side.
Evaluating the behavior of former Presidents at a former President’s funeral:
https://youtu.be/z6SI1q0Lgjk?si=HfaUsA4wHwUTxLG0
I remember watching it live and laughing my ass off. Kamala getting snubbed and disallowed entry into The Presidential It Club, and her visible consternation was glorious to see. And rewatch! Forcing them to sit apart from the others, all by themselves, was deserved. Ouch.
I would love to know what Trump and Obama talked about. It did seem fairly genuine, and I (like to) imagine they were actively making fun of Harris, something that unites ’em.
The inauguration was reportedly moved to the Capitol rotunda, but then was changed to the White House.
I need to get some more tin foil.
Link? Every site in my search still says rotunda.

Fuck.
Yeah, Fuck
Fuck?
Lions keep turning the ball over.
I haven’t been watching.
Huh, a surprise result would be something different for a change.
Goff needs to settle down.
Refs have been wildly inconsistent. Mahomes barely gets touched, twice it’s 15-yards. Goff gets hit in the head — when he doesn’t even have the ball — and has to go to the blue tent, and no penalty?
I agree with you, but I don’t think that was a penalty.
And the refs have been ludicrous lately.
Well, maybe by the old rules, but hitting a QB in the head, helmet on helmet, is an automatic penalty.
Not when he’s no longer a QB
How was he no longer a QB?
They’ve also been calling helmet to helmet regardless.
The play changed.
It changed because of an interception?
Yes. He’s just another player at that point.
Sorry he got popped, but that’s the game.
I’m not watching because they’ve ruined the product with the officiating and rule changes or “points of emphasis” that go beyond what the rulebook actually states.
That said, the Chiefs have benefited from friendly officiating all year long.
Damn it! Just got an email that my best friend’s wife past away yesterday. My friend was here yesterday afternoon for a few minutes and was with his wife when she passed in the evening. While it was not unexpected reality in a bitch. A funeral a week ago, missed one yesterday because of a prior commitment and now this.
My friend had really helped me when I built my house and garage. He was the first kid I met when we moved to the woods in 1952, we drank a lot of refreshments as teenagers, possibly hunted without regards to seasons/licenses, speared fish at night with the game warden looking for us. In other words we were doing kids stuff in rural America.
They had been married 67 years. Fortunately his family is nearby and all get along.
My condolences.
I’m so sorry, Fourscore
Thanks. Wanda had been in Hospice for some time but it’s still a sad surprise. She was at her daughter’s home for the past 6 weeks or so, which is only a few miles from where Wanda lived. Kids, grand kids and great grand kids are all near by.
Sorry 🙁
On the upside, it must be great to have friend like that for so long.
Wanda and Gus live(d) about 2 miles from us now and we were always socializing, helping one another. They were one of the reasons we moved back here when we retired. Them and other old friends. Now the ranks are thinning.
I’m the class historian by default. I did a survey last week with my high school year book. As far as I can determine there are about 35 left , known or unknown from a class of about 100. Scattered, of course. We’re all the same age, of course, and well past our best used by date.
I’m very sorry Fourscore.
Praying for all your people.
My condolences, as well. I’m glad your boyhood friend had a helluva life and helped yours. The memories live on.
(And no more statute of limitations, amirite? The idea of rural shit back then embarrasses my testicles. Docs today’d try to convince me I *DO* have a pseudo-pussy, they’ve retreated so far inward.)
Sorry, Fourscore.
Become ungovernable!
My condolences.
OFFS!!
Re: The Weight , while not as obviously stupid kumbaya shit as say “Imagine” or “Signs” I’ve always founds that song off-putting. Gives off the same filthy hippie vibe.
Annoyingly, I find myself in total agreement with you, for once.
*researches*
Oh, yeah. Never cared for it.
How can one persons’s opinion be SO WRONG?
I love “The Weight”.
Human potential is near infinite.
‘Filthy Hippy Vibe’ is correct and applies to a great many works that I love.
The derogatory term is an acknowledgement that hippy vibe comes in two forms – one is the ideal…girls with flowers in their hair, a higher spiritual awareness, a love of humanity, etc. The other is the reality…sloth, selfishness, girls with stinky hairy armpits, the smell of sour, stale sex , patchouli, and pot. This one has strong machiavellian undertones while the former a carefree lightness of being.
One is happiness, the other needs a hair cut, a bath and to get a job.
“The Weight”
Sucks.
Well, it WAS in Easy Rider.

I heard the Lions are getting their asses kicked.
You might remember my wife’s nonprofit, Home Allies, was formed a few years ago to provide some low- or no-income housing for people who have trouble renting due to spousal abuse, loss of job, medical issues, or other reasons that make traditional landlords not want to rent to them. The original plan to build 8 apartments never got off the ground due to inflation and high interest rates, but Home Allies is now operating 5 apartments in a converted old house that it bought in May.
We now have 5 tenants in a one-year program where we help them look for a job, enroll in assistance programs, and hopefully provide them with a good reference when they look for more permanent housing. We have already had one “graduate” who has moved on to a more permanent place. We have people referred to us from The Salvation Army, among other organizations, and there is always someone in need waiting when a spot in our building opens up.
I’m sending this note because we are applying for a new grant from the local Housing Trust, and they prefer to give to organizations that have support from private citizens. Dollar amounts are important, but so is the number of people who donate. We’ve had some $1000+ donations recently, but not many people in the last year or so.
Anyway, if you could send any amount, even $10, by Monday, it would be very helpful to show the Housing Trust that we still have private support. We just found out that they meet on Tuesday (January 21) to decide on the grant. We’ve been very busy fixing up the building and managing the tenants (some of whom are high maintenance) and have neglected fund raising recently, hence the urgency.
We can accept Venmo (@homealliesames) or PayPal (@homeallies). As I said, any amount is helpful right away, but of course larger amounts would be greatly appreciated, too, going forward.
I do thank the Glibs who donated before. And a special thanks to the one Glib who has had a recurring monthly donation for the last 2.5 years; you don’t need to do more since you have donated recently!
Thank you,
Whiz
Is there a giving link or just send via PayPal, etc?
For this, just PayPal or Venmo. Thanks!
Good work! Will do.
Done
Its so cold right now the garden spot of the nation is at 41 degrees, we have no true heating system so it electric heaters.
At the end of the month I fly to Manistee to help drive my sister and kids to OKC, that should be an adventure.
Any,way
IM drunk
I just stepped onto the deck to “check for bears”. Every step sounded like a gunshot.
/It’s f’n cold!
One of the light bulbs in the garage burned out. Remembered Brandon’s idiotic incandescent and halogen ban. Thanks assholes for getting rid of the convenient and easy way to keep the garage from freezing.
So did everyone win their footballs bets?

Good Morning, Glibs and paid “lurkers”
It’s a -25 F this morning, add another 7-8 wind chill degrees. Coldest day so far, the next 2 days are the same. This is the old fashioned stuff I remember as a kid.
Oddly enough, we’re having some Canadian friends visit today, they’ll probably arrive wearing t-shirts. They’ll only be here for a couple hours so as not to get overheated.
It’s a balmy 32 here right now, but it’s supposed to get down to -1 later this week. Nothing quite so cold as what you’ve got on the forecast though.
Good morning all.
It is a normal winter here FourScore. That means summery weather for you. It will be upper fifties today and down in the upper twenties tonight. For me that is shivering weather. I will keep the fire well stoked.
What you describe makes me wonder ‘Why the hell would anyone live in a place like that?’.
I’ve lived in many places, TX for 17 years. The incessant heat finally drove me out. The good thing about the cold is that snow is unlikely.
No one talks about going “Up North” to retire so it doesn’t get crowded with golf carts in the summer. Did I mention the mosquitoes are really big and mean too.?
Way to bury the lede. 😨
I don’t have anything on my iPad rn
