These are my guys. I hope to periodically cross-post these here (they appreciate any YouTube subscriptions). Fear not veggie types, for “beer can cauliflower” will be coming up soon.

Hello, is there anybody in there?
In there or in here?
Both man, my schizophrenia’s acting up. And where’s Bro? That was an easy first if I’ve ever seen one. The dude’s getting lazy.
Don’t encourage him.
This post would be over 100 comments if I Firsted. You people don’t deserve me.
You’re right. We don’t.
Just nod if you can hear me.
Careful, Dick.
When you nod your head, I’ll hit it.
I’m just pretending to be here.
Hi. I’m new here.
Tulpa, is that you? Welcome!
Welcome, Chai Girl.
And, as is the tradition here at Glibs, “Fuck off, Tulpa!”
(You’ll get used to us soon enough . . . )
I greet you with a hearty and heartfelt, “Fuck off, Tulpa!” (Tulpette?) How did you stumble across our little den of iniquity?
Local likker store had Erdinger Dunkel for $8 / 6-pack.
Going to be a good evening. Might have to pick up more for Sunday’s game.
Game on Sunday?
The Big Game hasn’t yet been trademarked by the NFL; the more common term for it is The Big Game.
(When I tried to type The Big Game, I accidentally put “athebi” which my phone tried to change to “atheism.”
Freudian slip?)
Super Bowl or you can watch the Puppy Bowl. I like the commercials, but they have sucked recently not that great.
Yeah, the prospect of watching Snoop & Martha for that long kinda puts me off. Their Tostitos commercials are about as much of the two of them as I can take in one sitting.
And the Puppy Bowl is going to be some Puddin’ Joe puff piece. I’d rather subject myself to this year’s SB commercials which you know are going to be horrible.
Hello.

Ugh, uncanny valley is uncanny.
Just came back from a nice evening with neighbors, read the Time article from earlier. Fisked it for my FB friends (by repeating the mantra of “free, fair credible and uncorrupted” after quoting each statement that contradicted that, it was a long post).
AlexinCT, I owe you at the least a small apology and a large bourbon. I’ll even do the reverse if you prefer.
It was an interesting article wasn’t it? Quite the read…
What’s funny is all the pussy assed red team punks who’ve been insisting this whole election is fair and transparent. Now, they have break out the weasel words thesaurus.
I’ve read stuff before from Western press that had bits ‘n pieces of Orwellian language in it, but I’ve never seen a sustained piece of Newspeak like this article. It’s breathtakingly awful, particularly in its casual acceptance of virtually every part of what is sometimes called “The Narrative.” The author isn’t a journalist; more like a mewling sycophant, a witling for whom the word “bootlicker” is uniquely suited.
Although I always appreciated the turn of phrase of the old North Vietnamese disinfo folks: “A running-dog lackey.”
I’m sure The Powers That Be will reward her handsomely in the weeks, months and years to come.
I liked how briefly the various court battles were presented, and it was all framed as if it were the Trump administration pushing for new measures when it was the unprecedented weakening of laws meant to ensure the integrity of the election that resulted in those court battles.
The mass uptick in mail-in voting would not have been possible or even legal a year ago today. It has been stated on here that the most charitable reading of what happened is that they weakened laws to allow for mass ballot harvesting in the states where the laws were weakened most.
You were wrong. And you should feel bad.
I appreciate a skeptic admitting he was wrong, JI’s alright.
True. I was talking about the never Trump faction in congress above, BTW.
I think the plotters will just say the article writer is nuts/unconnected/ignorant and that’ll provide cover but we’ll see.
Or just ignore it. Like Hunter’s laptop.
It still galls that Hunter’s behavior was not only overlooked entirely by the media as a reflection on Joe, but that Hunter was able to turn his disgraceful behavior into a $2M advance on a book he will “write” about his struggles with addiction. Poor kid.
Honestly I wouldn’t hold a candidate’s idiot relations against said candidate, but in this case the candidate enabled, encouraged, and benefitted from putting his son in a power position in the Ukraine.
That makes hunter’s behavior highly relevant to the President’s character and judgment.
Not the first time and I’m fairly sure it won’t be the last.
Nice video, Swiss! I look forward to seeing what they have to offer.
Sipping Redemption Rye tonight. It’s not bad. Don’t no nuthin about rye, but I needed a break from scotch. S’okay. Peppery, a little sweet.
Redemption Rye wasn’t so bad, but it was kind of meh to me. Bulleit Rye is my usual go to.
I was trying to decide to get a bottle of Bulleit while I was out here. I didn’t want to leave any in the hotel room if I couldn’t finish it off. So its just beer.
I love me some Michter’s rye, but Sazerac rye is very good for the money.
Tin Cup is a nice one
I’m working on a double Manhattan I made with my new Oxo.
Turns out I’m drunk.
Oh, noes! That cunning new measuring cup must be defective, and you quite inadvertently mixed your drink too strong!
(I did that once back in the day, accidentally mixing up a Black Russian double-strength. I call it my near-death experience.)
Just one?
Man, Death comes for cheap these days.
Come to think of it, I might have had two of those. And I was both a literal and figurative lightweight back then. (Sophomore or junior year in college?) I vaguely remember a concerned RA telling me I was much too thin to drink that much. I think I responded along the lines of, “I’m not THAT thin. Do you really think I’m that thin?” I also told her she was very nice and I was sorry we couldn’t have met under better circumstances.
Turns out by my katebushometer, they’re all too drunk to
…too drunk to…fish? #JeffFoxworthy
Impossible to be too drunk for Kate Bush
Impossible one eye terminator shows up to enforce the Kate Bush love in this timeline
I haven’t eaten in twelve years and I haven’t slept in six. I’m so tired and I’m so hungry. I shaved off my eyebrows last week. I’m drinking off my mustache
The real problem is if I drunk text my ex
That’d be hurtful.
Yeah….I’d say you probably shouldn’t do that.
I am surrounded by fucking pussies
You might want to have them spayed or neutered.
No, that’d be darkness incarnate.
GT SAYS YES YEAH FUCK IT ALL SPREAD YOUR SEEDS TO THE WIND
I mean if you say so GT I didn’t really wanna but she’s pretty confident
Redemption didn’t make it out of it’s flight, though I forget what it’s up against.
“A Ranking of Ryes: Final Round” is coming soon!
Agreed, nice video. Next time I’m camping, I might have to try it.
I’ve tried it, but only because I was drunk and accidentally dropped them in there. They seemed fine, but I really don’t remember.
You know who loved to cook steaks this way? Dwight Eisenhower, not kidding. He was famous for it.
It’s a handy thing to keep in mind, since sometimes campsites will provide a fire ring, but not a grate. We already do things like potatoes, etc down among the coals, but it hadn’t occurred to me to try it with the meat, too.
I’ve tossed a steak into a fire in a foil packet before but never directly onto the coals. I’ve known about the technique for a while but the idea of a steak coated in ashes always was a bit off-putting to me.
This afternoon I started thinking about the college loan fiasco . If the loan payoff is anything like the vaccine roll out (and why should it be any different?) some people will get very, very rich, some that have their loans payed will get retroactive payments, some that didn’t have a loan will get money, some loans will not get paid and will require a # 2 College Loan payoff.
There will be unimaginable amounts of money disappearing. Every possible mistake in distribution will be available and scammed. There will be good times for a lot of folks, including college administrators.
Feature not bug
Yeah, it’s all a scam now. The only suckers are those who refuse to cash in because of principles and shit. (for whoever’s our FBI handler, I’m just kidding)
Any guesses as to how long “principles” will remain a thing in the US at the rate we’re going?
Why live up to live up that which screws yourself? Cash in amigo.
Trump stumbled ass-backwards into the fact that winning is, you know, a winning strategy, much to the disappointment of principled conservatism… so now we have a party which embraced the BAMN mantle decades ago and a party which is still contending with the idea that principle might by something you can avowedly betray as well as subtly betray.
The sad thing is that when the opposition party actually does what they need to do we’ll go straight into a civil war. If they never do take a stand we’ll be Venezuela (if we’re lucky).
A thing that saddens me the most is that this is going to come straight out of the working man’s paycheck.
I work with a lot of kids and people that barely, barely, if not even, made it thru high school. And never will go higher than that.
Great workers, great people, just don’t you know, ask them about Newton or something.
Where is their 50k $ for their own fruitless pursuits?
So much for that black lady stocking shelves at the grocery store.
Since Europe is way ahead of us on this, we can actually see that end result of this plan is vastly fewer students in college. Though vocational education there is often “free” too.
Gonna have to try that.
I have a brisket flat corning at home that will be smoked for some pseudo-pastrami. Not exactly the correct cut of meat, but it works.
Nice. I picked up a 16 pound prime packer for cooking tomorrow. A few hours of heavy smoke on the grill and then overnight in the oven at 195. Not quite the same as if it smoked the whole time but pretty damn close for a lot less work.
“So……. they are pretty much saying they have to stop incitement of violence by inciting violence themselves!

I really feel like I live in a different country than even in 2016. The left is fundamentally broken in very scary ways.
I saw that, she kinda said that with a dose of plausible deniability but she’s smart enough to realize influential people will pick that up and run with it. Honestly though, what do you do with terrorists? They’re not worthy of much consideration after all.
@Neph
Oxo’s cute little 2oz measuring cup arrived from Amazon today. Can’t wait to put it to use. I too hate the jigger that came with my mixing set.
Is it the one with the angled part that has the marks?
If it’s the one I linked to, it is. They’re awesome for cocktail mixing.
Hope you enjoy it rhywun.
?
And for good measure, my jigger’s cups are 1.25oz and 0.75oz. I’ve been told those are not normal sizes. And I hate doing 3rd grade math every time I want a drink.
They are not. Usually the jigger/pony are a 1.5 and 1 ounce.
Jigger, please.
It should be 1 1/2 & 1 oz
Are those for mixing up Roy Rogers and Shirley Temples?
Yes. I’ve had its bigger brother for years and years.
Metal or plastic? I was just looking at the plastic one at Meijer earlier this evening.
This was the one I linked to in the Cocktails 101 article.
Plastic. Just like a regular measuring cup but tiny.
I have both the metal & plastic versions but prefer the metal (I have two of those) – I use them all the time, esp while cooking – they’re marked with tablespoon measures as well as ounces, so they’re way easier to use than measuring spoons.
Local cocktail-centric places seem to like the metal ones as well.
I have one of the metal ones. It’s pretty awesome.
Does anyone know of a good measuring shot glass? I have one but most of the lines eventually wore off. Meanwhile I have a couple of measuring cups from the 50’s that are still perfectly legible.
Does it need to be a shot glass?
Not really, but I want it to be glass, not plastic.
Looks like Anchor Hocking makes something that may fit your needs.
Maybe I’ll look at their website and see if they make something smaller.
I have this one. I use it regularly.
Wal-mart has some good two- or four-ounce glasses graduated in teaspoons, ounces and milliliters that I like to use for mixing drinks.
2 oz would be fine
Just saw that Lou Dobbs was cancelled.
I noticed last night that Trey Gowdy was not fired up and made a mental note to myself. Again he closed out tonight with some softball. Fox News looks to me like there have been some changes and are way less adversarial.

*pours one out for Derbs*
I almost never watch TV news, but from hearing about some of the things Tucker Carlson has said recently, he may be the last voice crying in the wilderness.
Or the next to go…
Too visible, too valuable. He’ll be the next to be suborned. His family was threatened directly a couple years ago. Who knows, maybe that was organic, some leftists get his home address, take the fight to him. Who knows. I bet he doesn’t. I bet he wonders.
Notice MSNBC and CNN don’t cancel their most popular shows?
CNN has popular shows?
More popular than Fox suddenly, for the first time in years.
The same owners are doing the same thing to the NY Post.
‘Fox News looks to me like there have been some changes and are way less adversarial.
/Concerned Citizen’
Fox News was skinsuited by Murdock’s spawn a few years ago. They’re basically MSNBC via 2006 at this point. People who lean conservative or clap along progressives that still believe Fox is “Right Wing” are chumps.
Tucker is just an unprincipled/populist distraction…think O’Reilly with a less abrasive personality and enough restraint to not try to fuck all his female coworkers.
I was pretty sure I was going to pass that class anyway, but I broke into the school computer to fortify my score to an A+ in order to ensure that the resulting course grade was morally right.o
Book some first class tickets to France while you’re at it.
Unable to fly in first class to France, I have to eat free steak day after day.
I remember that movie.
I caught some of the struggle session / therapy in Congress. Just when I think they can’t disgust me more.
These lying fucks were never in the least bit of danger but they act like it was traumatic. Meanwhile they have zero fucks to give for the people robbed, beaten, and burned out of their homes by the mobs they unleashed last year.
“I reported on the planned riots, in October. @TIME
confirms that the “cabal” was behind it and told the would-be rioters to “stand down.””
https://twitter.com/joelpollak/status/1357762272974675969
That was one of the more interesting tidbits in the Time article. On election night, they had the heads of “activist” organizations on their Zoom call itching to take to the streets because they didn’t like the way the election was headed and they were ordered to stand down. What a grassroots movement…
“Is criticizing billionaires the new wearing blackface?”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/02/11/is-criticizing-billionaires-new-wearing-blackface/
No.
Hyperbole, I’m disappointed you didn’t join us. Everyone should join us on the Zoom. It’s fun, we make fun of WesternSloper.
Fair warning, they found me too ugly to include, so they kicked me off. I even put the camera on my good side.
you lie. We didn’t kick you off for that. You’re welcome back, anyway
I was kicked off once. The Bro knows when he isn’t wanted.
They said my good side camera wasn’t good enough. They hurled abuse at me, it was really hurtful.
hmm, i dont believe you
I’m picking up an AOC vibe.

In SB news one of KC’s assistant coaches (and Andy Reid’s son) was involved in a multi-car accident. He is in hospital and 2 kids as well, one with life-threatening injuries.
I hope they are OK.
Appears to be another DUI for the kid, and another heart ache for Andy.
Oh look, Andy Reid’s lowlife son strikes again
I know very few people who do drink or who have drank in their life who haven’t driven drunk before.
Also, what sort of idiot actually runs out of gas and has to park on the side of the road?
I’m not excusing the behavior, I just find that there are a whole lot of people who get sanctimonious when this subject comes up and from my own experience there’s a lot of them I’m like I’ve seen your ass drive drunk. You have no room to talk because nothing bad happened while you did it.
He hasn’t been arrested yet, though he admitted to consuming some amount of alcohol. I don’t personally prescribe to the retarded notion that no matter what happens, even a drop of alcohol in your system should make you liable for anything bad that happens. You had two cars parked in some way on the side of the road. I’d like to know more details of that accident before I say anything on the particular case.
To repeat an unpopular opinion of mine: drunk driving in and of itself shouldn’t be illegal. If there’s a victim, there’s a crime. If not, there isn’t a crime. We can argue about the wisdom of doing it(for the record, I think it’s pretty fucking stupid/reckless). Have I done it as a young man? You bet. Did I ever hurt anybody doing it? No. Get a DUI? No. But I was very, very, lucky. Should extra time and penalties be included if you hurt or kill someone while driving drunk over doing the same driving sober? I’m completely open to that. You added unnecessary risk to an already dangerous endeavor…suck it. If this guy was driving drunk and it caused harm to others, fuck him.
P.S. For those who want to pull the “If you knew someone who died from a drunk driver…” bullshit, stop. Been there, done that, went to the funerals. I’ve buried more than a handful of friends from drug overdoses as well. Doesn’t mean I still don’t think you own your own body, free to do with it as you will until it causes harm to another’s person or property.
You’re not wrong. The Law has no business telling people not to do stupid things.
Clap for Tinker Bell! Planned economies will work this time. Wow, all Biden has to do to magick gloves into existence is sign a piece

Huh, this whole time they just needed Uncle Sugar to command it in order to increase production. Who knew?
At no cost either! No misallocation of resources or capital and no shortages of other goods as a result.
Will the military personnel supporting the vaccine sites be properly vetted to insure they are politically reliable?
Never expected the zampolit to arise in the US military, but here we are.

Here in Spokane I have noticed more non-masked shoppers at Safeway. Today one was talking one of the cashiers and no one seemed to care. Also my favorite Mexican restaurant here has decided to allow indoor sit down eating despite the state ban.
I envy you. When I go out and about these days, I’m about the only swinging dick who isn’t wearing a face diaper on my walk from the parking lot to the store.
I hold it in my hand, so I clearly have one and then shove it on approaching the door. But I’m one of the few – not the only, thank goodness, but still, not many are doing even that much around here.
The advantage of owning a small engineering and steel fab shop, I haven’t worn a mask at work yet. Only worn one when flying on business trips. Also, I’m a half hour from North Idaho and no masks in the small towns.
While I am not happy to be in OKC on business, I am enjoying the not-giving-a-damn about masks and social distancing. Went to lunch inside a restaurant where all tables were open. Also sat at a bar for the first time in 9 months. It will be bitter sweet going back to the Vegas camps.
Most people here wear masks while going about their business but every once in a while I see somebody without one. People generally give them the stink eye but it’s very subtle. I wear one just to not be “that Gaijin”. The other day I saw an older woman not wearing one on the train which is very unusual.
During our evening post-dinner walk my wife and I generally don’t wear masks – which is socially acceptable here during outdoor exercise.
I’m waiting for this whole stupid mask thing to blow over because wearing a mask always fogs up my sunglasses.
A partial win, at least, for freedom of religion in CA.

I always knew Kagan was a Dem operative cunte.
So as long as self-styled experts have the proggie stamp of approval, Kagan is happy to cede our basic rights as free people.
Got it.
The next sentence is even better:

Yeah… I’m going to need you to come to work tomorrow…
Alcohol tinged thoughts: Debbie Gibson and Brittany Spears are chronologically closer together than to current music.
Also, not operating a motorized vehicle or power tools at the moment.
Pussy.
Is there a lesbian video I haven’t seen?
Deep fakes are going to make bunks great again.
I thought you were going to say no one has seen them in the same room together.
But yes, current year pop music is almost entirely impenetrable to me.
I want to party with those guys.
