Please Stand By…

Our Hosting Service’s tech support…

Dear Glibertariat: We have all noticed some instability in the website. We wish that this instability were not the case. Truly, we do. SP (our unpaid helper/volunteer) is on it, but volume of work and requests is unusual, and staffing with our hosting service is currently limited. While 99% of you have borne this with good grace and humor, please remember that braying loudly about a known problem is similar to a grown-ass man bitching loudly about a child fussing on an airplane; it just makes things worse, the child can’t help himself, but the grown-ass man can. Don’t be the grown-ass man behaving like a whiny bitch.

Thank you for your patience.

    This oddly sounds like orders we all received from our govenors…

  2. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    Post comment, count to 5, then hit F5,
    works every time!

  3. UnCivilServant

    I haven’t been complaining, I only panicked that one time when my dashboard went away. It came back, so I’m calm now.

  4. SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

    Heres to hoping that things come to a happy resolution.

    Even just dealing with the bullshit that comes with maintaining Eyepiece across a zillion different OS/browser combinations is a pain in the ass, and that’s just a few hundred lines of Javascript. I can’t imagine the immense pain in the ass debugging the entire site must be…. SP deserves a drink or three.

  5. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    Nothing works, Fuck!

  6. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    I’m done til this is fixed

    • Jarflax

      write the comment. click post. wait 5 sec. click stop. click reload page. wait 5 sec. Yes it takes 15-20 seconds to refresh. Just imagine we are back in 95-2000 when everything took a minute to load.

      • Tres Cool

        Or as Jimbo said, “click post, count to Tundra’s IQ, then X and refresh…”

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      SAD Bob,

  7. Jarflax

    Not to excuse people griping, but I think at least some of it is just the general increased level of irritability I notice everywhere in our ‘new normal’ (a phrase I have grown to cordially detest). Anyway, thank you sincerely for your efforts.

    • UnCivilServant

      The furthest I’ve gone outside is to the corner of my lot to bring my trach can back from the street.

      If I were doing this willingly, I’d call it a win. And don’t call it a ‘new normal’ it’s a Temporary Abnormality.

      • Jarflax

        From your lips to God’s ear.

      • Tres Cool

        If ReichsfĂĽhrer Dr. Amy Acton one more time says “…and I want to shout out to…”

        Im gonna Elvis my truck’s radio

      • Jarflax

        I don’t listen to it anymore. I don’t read the orders unless a client asks me what one means. To the extent possible I go about my life. I pop in here when I feel the need for human interaction, but honestly for my own mental health I just can’t do it.

    • straffinrun

      I used to do extreme camping (extreme compared to the car camping we do these days) and once in a while a friend would beg me to take him with me. If everything went well, and it never did, he’d be fine. The smallest problem and he’d freak out.

      I don’t get some people. Don’t they have that voice in their heads saying, “Yeah, this sucks a bit, but chill out.”?

  8. commodious spittoon

    Oh, and open post in the comments!

    Do you want more loud braying? This is how you get more loud braying!

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      BRAAAAAYYY!

  9. Tres Cool

    What the…it ate my post @ Mojo (and the rest of you lot, too)

  10. UnCivilServant

    I get needing to reserve a pool cabana in vegas… but they cost as much as More Than a room!

    I don’t like being outside anyway.

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      I don’t like being outside anyway.
      Weirdo….

      • UnCivilServant

        Currently it looks like I’ll be in the Nevada/Arizona area around Thanksgiving provided my plans gon’t get dirsupted again. Should I check in on you?

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        It could be a lot of fun by then, we can rock from Kingman to Vegas!

      • Ownbestenemy

        Bob need to find a way for that to happen. A disc golf game! Or hang out by the river with beer and food

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        Both! at the same time! I have space!

      • Ownbestenemy

        We normally go to Willow Beach or Lake Mojave…but sometimes make our way to Laughlin but AZ restrictions on charcoal during summer are a real bummer

      • UnCivilServant

        We have time to figure it out.

      • UnCivilServant

        Well, you’re pretty much on the road I’d take into and out of Vegas. My itenery is still pretty undecided. I just have reservations over Thanksgiving at the Luxor. Believe it or not, those nights were really cheap. I don’t think that’s a popular holiday for that town.

      • Ownbestenemy

        It is not. Thanksgiving and Christmas is really a slow season in Vegas.

        Mid Jan to about now is normally huge because the weather is perfect.

      • CPRM

        When I lived in Vegas a friend of my roommate invited me to Thanksgiving dinner with his family. But failed to give me an address or contact info. Then he got pissed when I didn’t show up.

      • UnCivilServant

        But you were his friend! You were supposed to know

      • UnCivilServant

        That was not meant as a serious remark.

      • Brochettaward

        Sounds like a guy who wants to end up strapped to a chair watching while his hand gets cooked and eaten by some deranged nut.

      • UnCivilServant

        Well, that’s why I’m not visiting you.

    • J. Frank Parnell

      More Than a room!

      And that’s not even counting the minimum food order and the fact that poolside drinks are twice the price of the already overpriced casino drinks.

      (at least at the Paris, which is the only place I’ve gotten a cabana).

      • UnCivilServant

        I’m still drafting my Thanksgiving plans. I’m just looking at everything on the hotel’s website to see what’s there, and when I’m paying $35 for the room (plus tax and resort fees) seeing Cabanas going up to $300-$500 for the same days sort of surprised me.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Rooms dont make money…
        drinks and gambling do.

        You hanging out by the pool all day is a loss for the Casino so they have to make it up

      • UnCivilServant

        Gee, they’ll just have to gouge me on food, because I’m not a big drinker or a big gambler.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Just go off strip. Not a bad city at all once past the Strip Blight. A great fun pub that Neph likes, a quiet British pub in the other direction. Oh you don’t drink….we have a lion sanctuary

      • J. Frank Parnell

        Cabanas going up to $300-$500

        OK, that’s completely insane. Our cabana at the Paris (maybe 7 or 8 years ago and in August) was around $200 (before the $50 minimum for food)

  11. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    Great, i spilt a beer allover the floor, beyond alcohol abuse! a big mess, Dammit!

  12. J. Frank Parnell

    Thank you TPTB for running this site.

    I just ordered a glib pint glass from cafepress. It’s going to get here in mid-June. Which is awesome, because I’ll forget about it and it’ll be like a special surprise present.

    Aside: at a previous job I sat in a cubicle across from a loud sales guy who would cold call places and ask to speak to “the powers to be”.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Thata right…I know who the guy behind the guy behind the guy is. They get shit done

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      TPTB don’t need no ventilators, they are {{{Them}}}

    • Brochettaward

      The ventilators were never really the point. Attacking Trump was the point, and they got an entire news cycle out of that’s a smashing success.

      • Ownbestenemy

        And not a whimper when Coumo came out and even said they don’t need that many or even when they were begging others to take their supply

      • cyto

        That was exactly the point. And they admit as much when they fail to do the follow-up with all of the democrat politicians who were lying about how terrible their needs were and how Trump was a murderer because he didn’t ship 14 million ventilators to Detroit.

    • CPRM

      Central Planning. Now we’ll have too many ventilators and the companies that usually make them will go bankrupt. It’s for the Public Good.

  13. straffinrun

    No complaints from me. Slight inconvenience. Thanks, SP.

  14. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    My Back is really jacked up, but Bella will be walked, and my Golf bros are going to see if I can play, I’m gonna be pissed if I did all this for nothing…

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      Vegas looks like the Stand right now, creepy..

      “I’m tired of basically being f**ked around by Hollywood!” Johnson said. “I need money, I gotta figure out something, this is a way to take the power back.”

      Getting a real job was obviously not an option.

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        Work? thats for people that actually do things, keep your place, Peasant!!!

      • commodious spittoon

        There’s real jobs and there’s essential jobs.

    • J. Frank Parnell

      As for his family’s support, his sister isn’t really on board.

      Not gonna make it on pornhub with that attitude.

      “I’m tired of basically being f**ked around by Hollywood!” Johnson said. “I need money, I gotta figure out something, this is a way to take the power back.”

      Dude. You aren’t getting fcuked around by Hollywood. You decided to take the bus, figured out the route going your way, waited for the dang thing, got on, checked the destination with the driver, paid your $1.50, and NOW that you have arrived you’re complaining about the ride.

      And people wonder why I don’t click to every “news” article about celebrities and their daily trials and tribulations.

  15. cyto

    You just told the Glibs not to do something? Have you lost your damn mind?

    Glibs are wonderful. Generous. Kind. A family, even….

    But mature? Obedient? The types to do as they are told?

    Pbbbbtttt…..

      Oh stop Fuckhead! we get it,

        I play ol’ country to scare away the youngins. Those two songs came back to back on my random playlist.

    Somebodies Back feels great, someone is going for 300 feet, someone is going to Ace,
    I love this game!

    • straffinrun

      Since the Top Men are saying that we’re all gonna get it eventually, the focus all along should’ve been to rapidly expand treatment abilities. Too much red tape and bureaucratic bullshit for that to suffice, so the authoritarian pricks went for the hammer.

      • straffinrun

        Rereading that and I guess it makes sense why people think I’m an angry person. Really, though, I’m not. Just got an angry way of speaking.

      • Chafed

        Straff, I think you will appreciate this video. It’s a bit long but well worth the watch.

        https://youtu.be/VK0Wtjh3HVA

        The short version is we didn’t know what we were dealing with when it first hit. The first 2-3 weeks of lock down was needed. After that it should be far more selective, people at low risk should get infected if they are in contact with people who are at high risk. During the first 2-3 weeks there should have been a gargantuan effort to develop and deploy testing. Realistically, this virus is going to spread through the population. Best to do it in a controlled way to get to herd immunity.

      • straffinrun

        Needed or not, it was unconstitutional. I’ll listen for the medical expertise, but so far I’m not a fan of his assumption that government had a legitimate right to do what they did.

      • CPRM

        it was unconstitutional

        Says the anarchocapitalist who doesn’t even think we need a constitution.

        Closing everyone down was never needed. People pre-disposed should have been warned, and facilities taking receiving federal funds to care for the elderly and sick should have had strict measures put in place.

        If things got worse, monetary support for those who chose to isolate MAY be considered for a 14 day period.

      • straffinrun

        I’ll take constitutional protections if they’re available. It’s not about needing a constitution or not. It’s about the NAP and if parts of the constitution overlap with it, fine.

      • Chafed

        I’m not arguing the constitutionality of what was done. This is in response to your Top Men comment.

      • Rhywun

        Barf.

    Good Morning glibbies

    • PieInTheSky

      Also, I don’t know if anyone noticed, but there is a wee bit of an issue with the comments.

    • straffinrun

      Someone overslept.

      • PieInTheSky

        I did not really oversleep, but for some reason working from home makes me a bit lazier. Also it was my first morning making V60 coffee and it took me a little to wash the things the first time and figure out the process. I have decided I will wing in most mornings as I do not have the patience to do it “nerd” right e.g weigh every pour of water and also I do not have a kettle with precise temperature control.

      • straffinrun

        Getting up and running around Tokyo from job to job kept me in shape. Like you, working from home is making me lazy. I’m just making up places that I “need” to go to in order to keep the exercise up. And I don’t know what a V60 is.

      • straffinrun

        It’s like anything: practice.

      • CPRM

        No, my motor skills are just that bad. Even with a ruler I deviate from straight. And it’s not just ‘straight’ straight lines, but all lines hand drawn are rough and bumpy. Why supine lines in drawing software are a godsend to me.

      • CPRM

        Er, spline lines…

      • straffinrun

        You might surprise yourself if you try. Correct arm position, pencil grip and posture. You won’t get as good as that guy (he’s a robot) but I bet you’d see big improvement.

        I’ve tried, for decades…and now my drawing hand is arthritic and even worse.

  24. Gustave Lytton

    please remember that braying loudly about a known problem is similar to a grown-ass man bitching loudly about a child fussing on an airplane; it just makes things worse, the child can’t help himself, but the grown-ass man can.

    Sensible people bitch about the knuckle dragging kettles that fail to control their fussing germ breeders. Which should be stored underneath with the pets.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Also, if Joe ain’t bitching, Joe ain’t happy.

    • Tejicano

      Yup. This is why, when I was travelling with my kids when they were infants, I spent just about every second we were in the air walking the aisles doing everything I could possibly do to keep my kid comfortable and quiet. Some of those flights were 9 to 10 hour trans-Pacific ordeals that equaled the physical and mental challenges I faced in the Marines but I owed it to myself do keep at it knowing how much I hated and still hate seeing a wussy dad sitting there with a bawling baby without a care in the world for the rest of the people around him.

    • Mad Scientist

      I don’t mind the pets. The screaming fuck trophies should ride on the wing.

      I wish I knew a musician who followed through on their promise to write something to go along wit the melody and lyrics I write. Collaboration never works for me. I suck at it. Ask gBob.

      • CPRM

        Ask gBob.

        That wasn’t musical, but a collaboration.

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        Call me. i write like a Motherfucker..really

      • egould310

        Collaboration is difficult. Egos, “personal vision”, girlfriends/boyfriends, drugs, and all sorts of shit can get in the way.

        It’s hard for people, especially strangers, thrown together to try to reach a common purpose. And a purpose that achieves “art” is even more rare.

        There’s no formula. It’s alchemy. It either works or it doesn’t. And if it doesn’t, you try again. Hopefully the previous experience prepares you for the next endeavor.

        Maybe the bourbon is starting to do the talking…

    So called oblong shapes that travel skies, aren’t what we realize ,

    that we can never return from,

    in shapes not pondered,

    and who again is without sin,

  36. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    To see ones self, out of time,
    and walk the darkest paths,
    to trade your Soul, for a bit more time?
    or cast it all away?

  37. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    If you have seen the Black,
    the Abyss is a friendly place,
    it beckons, familiar, safe and Cold,
    the inky darkness, unseen, unfolds,

  38. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    I find the cliff, to jump from,
    Should I die? or wait for more,
    surely there is better, out there for me,
    I suppose I should wait…

  39. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    no one noticed that? either you don’t know AC or I should kill myself

    • DenverJ

      You’re better than AC. And posting very late.

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        Thank you, and it’s late for me yes, but I’m wired for some reason,

      • DenverJ

        You’ll be alright. We all will. Most of us will die, like every other human to ever live. If Ray Kurzweil is right, some of us will live forever.

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        I’ll be first for the Cylon upgrade, really

  40. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    Ahem,
    We all have our troubles,
    yours and mine,
    But’s that not the problem,,
    it’s how our problems are defined

  41. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    We see the truth, but won’t admit it,
    stuffed in to Deaths closet, we are all closed,
    so live live as a Coat hanger, or live in your own clothes, What?
    I live in a carpet, of lines and phrases,
    and do my best to get n other peoples spaces,

  42. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    How I long to be away from this place,
    as a Cylon ship, traveling through space,
    My mind is here, then it’s gone, to deep space, where I belong,

    • Gustave Lytton

      You just want to kill grandma! Better to be unemployed than dead.

      • Tejicano

        Well, one of them will pretty much guarantee the other. We had a dude literally fall over dead on the job where I used to work. Pretty much unemployed after that.

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        that;ll do it..

      • Grumbletarian

        Sounds like he was discriminated against!

      • Tejicano

        No joke! After that people stopped talking to him, he never got another raise, completely marginalized.

      • straffinrun

        My science beat up your science.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I fucking hate science.

  43. Tejicano

    Yusef! Sorry – I had stepped away for a while. My boys needed help with their homework. And I dunno – I didn’t seem to be getting much response to my posts here so I guess my humor and insight isn’t all that interesting.

    • straffinrun

      Assume that lack of responses means they are intimidated by your awesomeness. Works for me.

      • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

        Muhuhahahah!

      • Tejicano

        Well, yeah. I expect they refer to me as the Great Geezer of Pull-Ups!

      • Gustave Lytton

        And survivor of the Boeing Death March!

      • Tejicano

        Well, I did survive a plane crash on the job, and that happened in the Philippines, but it wasn’t a Boeing.

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      TBH, I just stuck all that gibberish together as a post and submitted it, that was some offf the hook gibberish!

      • Charles Easterly

        “TBH, I just stuck all that gibberish together as a post and submitted it, that was some offf the hook gibberish!”

        Perhaps, Y, you may appreciate the fact, as many who visit this website seem to do, that “gibberish” is welcome.

    • 23rd Century Temporal Boy

      OOABOOGA Spaceman shit yeah?

  44. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    I am the first Cylon,
    i am sentient
    I am a machine
    I travel the stars

  45. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    And YOU CANT STOP ME!

  46. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    But Damn I can’t wait for my new HC, so i can get out of this Tmeline, I’m getting bored..

  47. 23rd Century Temporal Boy

    In other news, my Back feels pretty good, I might try some practice Tomorrow while I wait for my HC to come in, like they have interstellar Amazon,

    • Tejicano

      Good to hear about your back. I hope that means something is healing.

  48. Tejicano

    I stepped away a minute to do some kettlebells – I found out today that I need to correct my form.

    And I should admit that my pull-up routine plateaued. After the most recent 5-day cycle and 1-day rest I was not able to increase my max. So I am repeating the last cycle to see if that will get me to the next step. Heck, as long as I am home all day and can fit this routine in I may as well get something out of this lockdown..

    • SP

      Do you have a particular resource you like for kettlebells? I need to get back to those.

      • Tejicano

        I don’t have a specific one but I generally look to Pavel Tsatsouline and his Strong First website (strongfirst.com and related YouTube materials) for tips and guidance.

        I like to balance between a) strength training, more b) dynamic cardio-centric, and c) complex movements.

        Examples –
        a) clean & press, halos, squat press,
        b) swings, snatches,
        c) windmills, inverted press, Russian twists,

        P.S. – Thanks for keeping this site afloat. If it wasn’t for you guys I don’t know how I would be getting through this.

      • SP

        Thanks. That’s helpful!

  49. Gustave Lytton

    Yes Youtube, I really want to watch the smug asshole from The Office and other celebrities entertain me during my house arrest but I just didn’t know it. How did you figure that out?

  50. Gustave Lytton

    I thought I put too much ice in my glass, but it was just floating on top. The edelkirsch wasn’t watered down after all. Dodged a bullet.

    Good morning, I was asleep, rolled over and smashed my knee into the wall so now I am awake.

    I am commenting through Monocle Eyepiece (I think, because grease monkey says both Monocle and Monocle eyepiece are enabled) on a Mac using Firefox. I have the Toggle Mute Buttons off, and Avoid Page Refresh on. When I hit post comment the comment goes away. I then refresh page on firefox and comment is there where I intended it to be. Hardly a problem since I started doing that. Trashy was talking about a few days ago. It is working for me.

    • PieInTheSky

      It is not morning it is pre-lunch whiskey time

      • westernsloper

        Well, if you insist.

      • Sean

        *checks day planner*

    • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

      If you make sure Dynamic Comments Refresh is on, the comment should appear automagically within a few seconds (15 or so). Except when it doesn’t…. Then you need to refresh to get it or any children to show up. Gah, that bug is gonna be impossible to track down.

  52. JD is Unemployed

    It’s me! I’m the one percent! I’m the whiny bitch! I’m literally the only person I’ve seen complain about it. I’m British. It’s what we do.

    • PieInTheSky

      cricket is stupid.

      • JD is Unemployed

        I see nothing inherently stupid about a googly or a silly mid off.

  53. Festus

    The drive home this morning was uhhh “eventful?” Came within a cat’s whisker of plowing into a moose. He was a big un’. His belly was level with the hood of my Tacoma. Sheesh! What next? Reach the bridge five minutes later and there’s a jumper. Was distracted a little later and kinda/sorta ran a red light on the main drag. Good thing the cops were busy… Arrive home and a bear is feasting on my garbage. Other than than that, not much. How about you?

    • SP

      Sheesh. Glad you are safe.

      • Festus

        Thanks! As a quick aside, I’ve learned to deal with the site’s problems with no real issues but the internet connection on my end has been spotty at best. We get “brown-outs” every hour that can last for up to 15 minutes. I know you are doing your level best so you won’t hear any whingeing from this Glib!

    • westernsloper

      Geeze Festus. My highlight yesterday was splitting some firewood, grilling some meat and making a lasagna.

      • Festus

        You see stuff happen when you work at night. I’ve seen fireballs a few times in the sky. Not the huge Tunguska type but enough to make you notice. Plus we are surrounded by forest and wildlife is just a normal thing. Tonight was a layer cake of odd, though.

    • JD is Unemployed

      Holy cow, Festus. Did you talk them down?

      • Festus

        Divided highway, seemed the authouritays had it well in hand. The only personal peril was the moose. I should keep this date for future reference. Now I need to go back and see what the Tarot called for this week.

      • Festus

        Saggitarius : The World reversed – inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence. Geez, I’ve really been in a rut lately so up until this morning it is spot on. Maybe I should subscribe to nA’s newsletter…

      • Sean

        Nope. He went all Lethal Weapon on them.

      • Trigger Hippie

        Fetus strikes me as the kind d of guy who would slow down, roll down the windows to his truck, and crank Van Halen’s Jump at peak volume. Or maybe that’s just me.

      • Festus

        Humorous but no. I’m about as soft as Charmin when it comes to seeing other beings suffer. Spider lives matter!

    • The Hyperbole

      I dropped my toothbrush down the sink drain.

      • Festus

        That’s a teensy toothbrush! The cat knocked Wifey’s into the toilet once but I replaced it immediately.

      • Festus

        I’m too stupid to function on this site. I deserved that.

      • westernsloper

        You just have to roll with it, that is what I do. See UCS should have gotten a, “well damn cat had it coming and the enchiladas where delicious.”

      • Festus

        This is known. Why do you think I keep coming back for more? This place entertains me like no other and if I’m the butt of the joke from time to time, I’ll pay that price. I just need to be on my toes a little more.

      • UnCivilServant

        You know we I only mean it in a jovial, light-hearted way and all that, right?

      • Festus

        Dude. If I’m commenting I am likely at least a little in the bag. I don’t get mad, I just get crying…

  54. Scruffy Nerfherder

    Don’t be the grown-ass man behaving like a whiny bitch.

    Well there goes my life plans.

    • Festus

      The trick is to be stoical and have a single, Manly tear act going on and a secret cry-spot. Works for me.

  55. Sean

    There will be coronavirus in the fall!!!!
    DOOM!!!!!!!
    ?

    • UnCivilServant

      Well, Doom’s a skinny youngun, he’s not in a risk category and should be fine.

    • Festus

      I watched a portion of that presser. Trump can’t get out of his own damn way. He just kept repeating the point like an 8 year-old and yet the Dems would somehow make it an order of magnitude worse. Of this I am certain.

  56. Sean

    I’m still not ready to take the clippers to my hair yet, but this is the longest my hair has ever been. My gf had me chop 4″ off of her hair over the weekend . ? I’m a fan of long hair on her.

    • UnCivilServant

      My head was significantly lighter and I had fewer frustrations after I buzzed down my hair.

      But no one has to see any of it.

      I’m probably going to have a professional clean it up when one reopens.

      • Sean

        I’m not a hat guy either. I wore one to the range on Sunday (very windy), and it felt really unnatural.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        My wife threatened to divorce me if I ever buzz my head again. “I almost didn’t marry you because of the first time you buzzed your head”

      • UnCivilServant

        What is she going to do if it falls out?

      • Rhywun

        I had a friend who did the bald/goatee thing for years. I thought it looked really good. Then he got married. Last time I saw him he had scraggly looking gross hair. To be fair, he had a baby in tow. But I had to ask and it was clear who was running the hairstyles in that family.

      • Festus

        I had Shirley Temple ringlets when first we met but sadly they’ve migrated to my pubes. Nope. Shorn head and full bush until the covid gets me.

    • PieInTheSky

      I did. it’s much better.

    • Sean

      When I was young, my dad would rip up English muffins, dunk them in some sort of egg mixture and cook them up. It was the only thing he would make in the kitchen and I remember really liking them.

      • Gender Traitor

        As always, has to go help save the French Toast’s ass.

      • Festus

        Love this!

      • Sean

        He called it something that sounded German. No syrup on top either. *shrug*

    • PieInTheSky

      carbs are bad.

  57. Festus

    My Dad made the best pancakes from scratch when we were shavers because he’d half-ass the batter mixing. Those damn things would rise like magic and the dog always got the final giant one from the skillet. Of course that all went out the window when my bro and I hit puberty and became asshoe.

  58. The Late P Brooks

    Thank you for your patience.

    You are more valuable to me than I am to you. More than you know.

    • Festus

      ^^^ This. A thousand times this!
