Saturday evening, BARBARIAN FREE links

by | Apr 1, 2023 | Daily Links | 98 comments

That’s right, bitches. Spud is hands free.

 

So it appears that I need a new knee. After three knee surgeries, I’ve learned. Spud just installed a Toto washlet and is living large! I never realized I’ve been living life as a barbarian all these years.

 

Links?

 

Unless the courts reverse this, Disney just pulled a major rope-a-dope on DeSantis.

 

Commie Pope dodges a bullet.

 

It doesn’t look like this is going to be a quiet tornado season.

 

The only thing that could make this better is if it was a Ferguson.

 

Okaaayyy…

 

Okaaayyy…

 

I know people who would just end up with a house full of dead plants.

 

Okay kiddos. That’s it for me. Spud has to go cop a squat.

    whaddup doh’

    I’m going to bed- some of us still work all night.

    • Chafed

      Rufus most approving.

  2. Homple

    Is this thing on? Usually people say swell stuff here.

  3. westernsloper

    So you like water shooting up your ass. Kinky.

    Okaaayyy…

    Does anybody on the planet believe one fucking word that comes out of any FBI representative/propagandist?

    Spud just installed a Toto washlet and is living large!

    It’s amazing, isn’t it?

    Welcome to the club.

    • Ted S.

      Spud seeks to cure what’s deep inside,
      Frightened of this thing that he’s become.

    I know people who would just end up with a house full of dead plants.

    Yeah, Mom hoarded house plants among other things. After she died we went on a murder spree getting rid of those plants.

    A wheelbarrow full of de-potted plants dumped over the bank of the driveway.

  6. Shpip

    Well, my wife’s sister now thinks I’m a horrible person.

    Which is entirely correct, but she’s the one who imposed on my plans for the day — I just made the best out of the situation.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      Is.. is that real?

      • Ted S.

        The pictures, or Shpip being a horrible person?

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        I know the answer to the latter.

      • rhywun

        lol

      • Zwak tastes the soup, but never counts the beans.

        Well, he does live in Florida.

      • Shirley Knott

        If it is, he just got a lifetime “get out of babysitting” pass.
        I, for one, hope it’s entirely real and the kid grows up to be a wing-walker of aerobatic skydiver.

    • Michael Malaise

      MidJourney? Adobe Firefly, or Dall-E 2?

      • Michael Malaise

        It’s also April Fool’s, so …

      • Shpip

        I figured someone would catch on soon enough.

      • one true athena

        Is the baby still really your niece or was it just an AI choice? Cutie pie

    • westernsloper

      I’m not Grumpy!

      • The Hyperbole

        I am, but I’m not old.

      • slumbrew

        Fellas, I’ve got some bad news for both of you.

  7. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    Welp, just spent the afternoon with my father for his 85th birthday. BIL showed up with my niece. Neither of whom my parents have seen or talked to since the family business blowout. My sister sent an apology note and avoided the situation altogether.

    Dad was happy to see all of his grandkids and it could have gone much, much worse. All’s well that ends well.

    • Michael Malaise

      Whoops. Chinese guys used by the Japanese originally.

  8. The Other Kevin

    We decided we just want to be home so now we’re about 5 hours left of the 18 hours from south Texas to Indiana. Damn this is a long ride.

    • westernsloper

      I am not envious. Have fun Kevin.

    • The Other Kevin

      On the plus side we get a whole day at home before work Monday.

      • Penguin

        I remember moving from FL to NH. I tried to make it in one day, but realized that was a no-go somewhere near Philly. I completely understand.

  9. Ted S.

    Looks like the thunderstorms are giving us a miss and raining on UCS and Not Adahn instead.

    • juris imprudent

      We caught some along the Mason-Dixon.

    • rhywun

      Catching some of it in NYC.

      Tornado watches in NJ.

    • Lackadaisical

      No rain here for the billionth day in a row

      • Penguin

        Right? Yesterday I complimented my neighbor on how well her succulents were doing, but knew she had some help this year.

  10. rhywun

    I don’t understand that Disney flim-flam at all.

    But if any company can usurp power over the State, it is Disney.

    • Michael Malaise

      DeSantis just needs to kill the royal family and voila! Problem solved!

      • one true athena

        Only the ‘descendants’ of Charles if I understand it. So that luckily is only six people right now – and if there’s a blood test involved Harry and Archie might not even count! So, sorry, William, you and your kids gotta go. RIP

    • Lackadaisical

      Yeah, usually you can’t just transfer all your powers, and if they could, why not do it years and years ago?

    • Zwak tastes the soup, but never counts the beans.

      That is some serious grasping at straws. What do they think think this is, a princess movie? That King Charles is going to marry them and carry them away in a pumpkin?

  11. rhywun

    Huh. Apple is giving out some free MLS matches so I’m watching NYCFC for the 2nd time this year.

    Dunno if this is today only or what.

  12. Lackadaisical

    Nice links spud.

    Sitting here enjoying my new waterfall. Repaired my tire, printed and organized a bunch of stuff… It was a good day.

    • rhywun

      Behold the power of sport to bring the nations of the world together. 🙄

      Well, if you sign on the dotted line.

  13. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    So here’s the conspiracist prediction for the Trump case (via Martin Armstrong):

    Bragg will most likely seek a Gag Order in addition to a denial of bail, which no matter how ruthless the judge, will probably realize he cannot deny bail to a former President. Still, they will most likely put a Gag Order on Trump, and that way they can throw him in jail even indefinitely as they did to me using Civil Contempt of Court which is not a crime. If they charge him with Criminal Contempt, then he gets a trial by jury. Under Civil Contempt, you have ZERO rights and no right to a trial.

    They kept me in prison on Civil Contempt from 2000 to 2007. I was released ONLY because I got to the Supreme Court and they ordered the government to explain how I could be held for 7 years without anything on statute 28 USC 1826 which had a maximum of 18 months. To avoid having to answer, they suddenly released me.

    So forget the payment to a Porn Star

    They can now gag trump, restrict his movements, and harass him to PREVENT him from running in 2024. They will listen to every word he says and are just going to wait to be able to throw him in prison on Civil Contempt indefinitely with ZERO Constitutional Rights. Welcome to the REAL America. They call it a “protective order” to protect the Government and Bragg as you are stripped of ALL your First Amendment rights.

    If he’s right, things are going to get spicy.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Prevent Trump from running? He’s the Democrat establishment’s candidate for 2024, just like 2016. They think it’ll be different this time and they’re probably right.

      • rhywun

        Trump is leading the GOP polls. Who do they NOT want to run?!

      • rhywun

        Ugh that made no sense. Strike it from the record while I fetch another drink.

      • R C Dean

        Far from the most nonsenical comment I have seen. To answer your question, anybody else, but especially DeSanctimonious.

      • R.J.

        Hey. The penis mightier than the sword.

      • rhywun

        Polls are silly this early anyway.

        Biden and Trump are currently tied.
        Biden leads DeSantis by 10 or 20 from what I read.

        The real question is do polls matter at all anymore. Or really, does voting matter.

        I don’t really give a shit except Biden must lose. The country cannot take another four years of this.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I think I might try dry tonight. Woke up in the middle of the night nauseous. Been a long time since I’ve done that.

      • rhywun

        👍

        I kid. I don’t drink that hard. Thank goodness because I drink every day.

        The government probably thinks I’m a chronic alcoholic but I don’t get drunk, so they can kiss my ass.

      • Brochettaward

        There’s no probably about it. If you drink more than once a month they will diagnose you with a drinking problem.

      • R.J.

        Bro is right. I will live and die by my decisions. Tonight, I had old fashioneds and now a bloody mary. Will it kill me? Someday. That is my decision. Better than than drinking soup at an old folks’ home. What exactly are doctors going to do for me? Make me live longer to serve some government with my labor? Fuck off. My life is my own.

  14. Brochettaward

    Here we are on International Firster’s Day, and where is the false Firster? No where to be found. Does that surprise anyone? It shouldn’t. Beware false Firsters.

    • R.J.

      And the sign said anybody caught secondin’ would be shot on sight
      So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, “Hey! What gives you
      the
      right?”
      “To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in”
      “If God was here he’d tell you to your face, Man, you’re some kinda sinner”
      And then a firster popped up, shot me, and had me for dinner.

  15. Michael Malaise

    Watching some Wrestlemania on Peacock. Always a fun spectacle, but my son and I are more into AEW.

    • Chafed

      Is there really a difference? I suppose it’s like people who swear by Marvel or DC.

      • Michael Malaise

        AEW feels more grounded. WWE storytelling can be fantastic but there’s a ton of terrible booking and goofy shit.

      • Brochettaward

        It’s wrestling. If you aren’t watching it for the goofy shit, I don’t even know what you’re watching it for.

      • Chafed

        That’s pretty much my take.

    • Chafed

      Wait. The federal government is screwing up? Prepare my fainting couch.

      • Brochettaward

        Only screwing up if you believe the goal of the bill is the stated one and not simply looting the coffers of a dying empire.

    • rhywun

      Pay-blocked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • Brochettaward

      If you think doxing people over judge calls is the right play, go home and rethink your life. This community complains about the quality of judge calls all the time. I promise no quality judge wants the pressure of breaking even taking a lead role in an event to worry about their safety and professional life following an event if a call goes sour.

      They want the unbridled freedom to fuck with you and/or ruin your life at the thought of being offended, but how dare you threaten them with any repercussions for it.

      • Chafed

        Maybe the better course is to change the tournament’s ridiculous rules.

      • Ted S.

        The only winning move is not to play?

  16. dbleagle

    Just in from a fun sail and some ocean fishing. The sail was fun and the fishing was not successful. The only thing we got near the boat was an unhappy 6 foot whitetip shark. We noped that action and cut it free.

    Tomorrow is racing, Tonight will be a French 75 and watching a movie.

    • Brochettaward

      If you really wanted a race, you’d try your hand at Firsting, dbleagle.

    • Chafed

      I envy you. I spent today recovering from take my youngest on college tours in Texas. Houston to Austin to Dallas and back to Houston in three days. I am wiped out.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Youngest so last time, at least?

      • Chafed

        Exactly

  17. Brochettaward

    Big Gay started their march through the institutions when they made everyone believe Rock Hudson was gay because if the gays could get to all-American boy Rock Hudson, what chance did little Billy have? None at all. Not a god damn chance.

    But Big Gay didn’t anticipate the resurgence of the Firsters under The Bro.

    • Chafed

      I don’t get you Bro. I don’t think you are a homophobe yet you post these anti-gay ramblings. What gives?

      • Ted S.

        He’s deeply closeted.

      • Shirley Knott

        And a self-admitted intentionally obnoxious git. Shunning is the only rational response (imprecatory prayer not being particularly rational).

  18. Sean

    Morning time greetings. 😃🍳☕

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, Sean, Shirley, and Ted’S! 😁☕

      • Shirley Knott

        Mornin’ GT. Happy Workweek Eve ;-\

      • Gender Traitor

        Zippy wow. Well, at least I have a head start on my month-end stuff. 😐

      • Shirley Knott

        We take the wins we can get 🙂

      • Gender Traitor

        🤜🏼🤛🏼

    • Gender Traitor

      Yeah, keeping an eye on that system kept me up until the wee hours of Saturday morning. Ohio got off relatively easy, but there was a confirmed EF1 twister three counties north of here and a confirmed but not yet rated (AFAIK) tornado in the next county north of here. Scary stuff. Reported death toll keeps going up. 😳🌪🌪🌪

    • juris imprudent

      No tornadoes, but we did lose power last night for a couple of hours. And apparently our AM links are delayed.
