Yeah, I know. “Duh”.
Here we are again dear friends, easing into a Saturday evening. I hope you all are doing enjoyable weekend type things.
Shall we link?
I’m sure we’re headed full tilt in the same direction.
My knees don’t ski. But if they did, I would stay the hell off of glaciers.
I’ll keep my feet on the ground, thank you.
I can’t believe this fat gasbag is going to try it again.
Okay, time for cocktails on the patio. Enjoy the evening!
An ironic tune for cocktails but I’ll drink to that.
Yes
Just so long as he doesn’t send them to the southern border…
And they did so well during the Rodney King riots!
Don’t worry, all the glaciers will be gone by
2020202120222024!It’s a good job the subject matter is so fucking boring or else the 4chan autists would have found it and defaced it by now.
It’s all Rip Van Bull-Winkle.
A far more important task than, you know, winning the presidency.
He could probably take down Trump with some kind of Rikishi move.
Trump ruined Chris Christie so badly the last go around that I thought he had just scurried off to hide in his local Krispy Kreme never to be seen again.
So true. That fat bastard is worse than Trump. He was the first to endorse him and then had his hand out for a job. When Trump stiffed him, he slinked (slunk?) away. Also, I’ll never forget the photo of that land whale on a closed NJ beach with his family. He is loathsome.
It was a glorious day, and I spend a lot of it shooting. It was great. A stage I was happy with, a stage I was satisfied with, a stage I was happy with how I recovered when the plan went to shit. Only one stage I’d call “regrettable.” I impressed some punk kids. I DQ’d a club trustee. The
geezergentleman of ancientness running an OG Hi-power out of an Uncle Mike’s holster with rubber band retention? He dropped it. I was upset I could only DQ him once for dropping that gun onto gravel.You should have confiscated it, not struck threw him.
Is ‘rubber band retention’ as horrible as I think it is?
Rubber Band Retention was one of my earlier chiptune tracks.
+1 Kate Bush.
If I were idle rich I’d pay that in a heartbeat. Also, make no mistake about it, this WILL be a challenge on MasterChef Australia 2025.
The only way Chris Christie could take down Trump would be to trip and fall on him, and I’m sure Trump’s security detail would shuffle him out of the way. There might be, who am I kidding, there would be, a splatter zone though,
What’s he going to do, insist his last name be pronounced Christ-ee? Sheesh. It was funny on Mom, but it’s a ‘funny once’.
“One thin waffer.”
Neph is out tonight and I have something to do during the early part of the evening, but never fear, Zoomsters! Neph has setup a self-hosting Zoom. Traditional start time is 8:00 PM Eastern, but the thing is open now and will keep running throughout the weekend.
Thank you, Nephonio!
Need feminine perspective on this cover…

Panty dropper or pretender?
One of my all time favorite songs.
The cover’s not bad.
Chris Isaak is panty-dropier
Highschool OBE confirms
Yeah but I’d hit either one in a heartbeat.
Pretender.
I have recieved more confirmation that you should, in fact, not thin your paints.
Repaint! And thin no more!
ALOL
Oh, that is top shelf. Well done, NA.
I think I’ve figured out how I’m going to clean up the mess.
I’m going to rebase it with dark steel, lay down a two-stage zenithal using steel and aluminum, then hit it with a less-thinned blue to try to get the proper even coat I was going for the first time around.
Thankfully, this is just a random model I had laying around and not something for the tabletop.
Tiger blood.
Still, it was only the most important coat of paint I screwed up.
Okay, I’ve rebased and gotten a zenithal laid down. Now time to try the blue again… Wish me luck.
Success!
Success!
Anyone interested in an article about me futzing about trying to learn how to use an airbrush?
No? Too bad, I’ve already written it and shipped it off to the Editors.
I wouldn’t even second on that.
Good.
“Two truths can co-exist at the same time: San Francisco’s violent crime rate is below comparably sized cities like Jacksonville and Fort Worth — and there is also more we must do to address public safety concerns, especially the fentanyl crisis,” he said in a news release. “We’re taking action. Through this new collaborative partnership, we are providing more law enforcement resources and personnel to crack down on crime linked to the fentanyl crisis, holding the poison peddlers accountable, and increasing law enforcement presence to improve public safety and public confidence in San Francisco.”
A social worker in every pot!
C’mon, it’s San Francisco – a social worker with a Mexican buttload of pot.
I went to Harbor Freight and bought a little air compressor fot fiddy bucks. It should air up tires and manage light air tool work until I get the real compressor up and running. I wouldn’t try to port cylinder heads with it, but it’s got to be better than nothing at all.
I got a Porter Cable pancake with nailers for $80, I think. Love that thing.
Me too. But with the nailers. Has held up well other than needing a $20 wear kit recently to fix the pressure regulator.
Hi everybody. Just a FYI Glengarry Glen Ross is free on YoutTube right now.
That will kill them!

Alec Baldwin is best when playing himself.
Team America: Alec Baldwin is worthless
These are not incompatible statements.
Exactly.
Damn that is a good movie.
Rhywun – how to make a splash with 5 minutes of screen time or less.
His interview with Gene Wilder should forgive many sins. He was sensitive, insightful, and all around did a great job. Wilder had not yet revealed his Alzheimer’s, but it was becoming obvious. Tragic, but Baldwin stepped up and treated him with great respect, as he deserved.
My go-to line is always, “You see this watch? This watch cost more than your car.”
Gold Rolex versus Hyundai.
I’m sure Hyundai was thrilled.
Fuck them, they make cars with insufficient visibility. I couldn’t see shit the last time I drove one.
Thanks to everybody driving tanks those wide far A pillars and high belt line are the cheapest and sometimes only way to get a small car to get good insurance crash ratings.
Not being able to see what’s going on around me is a good way to get into a crash.
“That says far more about how pathetic you are than anything about me.”
Levine could totally have pushed off Spacey’s accusation of stealing the leads (or whatever they were). There was no real proof until Levine cracked (as I recall). Also, SPOILERS!
Al Pacino was fun in that movie. As was the dude from “Brazil”. That guy played alongside both Pacino and De Niro.
A massive crevasse? Thicc?
EPA to Propose Strict Carbon Limits for Power Plants
The Biden administration is planning to announce strict carbon limits on existing and future power plants for the first time — plants which currently generate 60 percent of America’s electricity.
Three people briefed on the administration’s plans told the New York Times that under the EPA’s new rules, almost all coal and gas-fired power plants would have to cut or capture nearly all of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2040. At present, fewer than 20 of the nation’s 3,400 coal and gas-powered plants capture emissions from their smokestacks.
They want us all to die.
Carbon capture would not be mandated, but the strict caps on pollution rates would require plants to adopt some other technology if not that. In the case of gas plants specifically, plants could switch to a fuel source that doesn’t emit carbon like green hydrogen.
Magic. It’s all fucking magic.
I don’t want to be like France or Germany. 😞
Could we move the real Oktoberfest here before Germany collapses?
American Oktoberfest celebrations, while some are fun, just aren’t quite right.
I got to go to the real thing when I was 17.
American alcohol laws are just too retarded to accept the spirit of a real Oktoberfest. They have encouraged “underaged” binge drinking instead of responsible drinking that a sane attitude towards alcohol would have achieved.
The American way on many things.
From memory France is over 80% nuclear.
Instead the nearly had a recent blackout because of a union work stoppage.
Perfectly French.
JFC is there anything this evil fucking administration is NOT plotting?
Prosperity?
Nor liberty.
Both correct
Nuclear power for the win!
Darkness. All you get is darkness.

Yo, I’ve got this bridge for sale…
But Trump is just as bad as the Democrats!
Seriously, this is why I get tiresome of the people who straddle the fence and just say fuck Trump. Often times because it’s fashionable. In the ’90’s when you were arguing over tax rates, you could shrug it off. The Democrats are walking the entire country off the cliff as a party.
How about if I hate the Democrats and want someone other than Trump?
You’re in luck! Chris Christie has your number.
NFW. See my comment above.
I’m more objecting to the pox on both houses nonsense that gets passed around, especially in libertarian circles. The shit sandwiches are not equally shitty.
OK. I agree with that.
This is suicidal. My only consolation is it is going to buy the administration a lawsuit. The current Supreme Court appears is likely to find this an overreach by the administrative state.
Belgium destroys shipment of American beer after taking issue with ‘Champagne of Beer’ slogan
Belgium has destroyed a shipment of American beer after taking exception to its maker’s slogan that it was “The Champagne of Beers.”
Belgian customs crushed the 2,352 cans of Miller High Life beer earlier this week, reasoning that they were improperly labeled as Champagne.
The move came after a trade association for the Champagne industry complained that the term should be used only on bottles of sparkling wine, made using a traditional method in Champagne, France.
By convention, true Champagne — as in, the French sparkling wine — can only be made using Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes.
The Comité Champagne, a joint trade association for the Champagne industry, requested the destruction of the American beers, arguing that the label “The Champagne of Beers” infringed on the protected designation of “Champagne”.
Not the Bee?!
I’ll allow it.
Champagne sucks.
Taco night at casa de OBE. Some asada, barracho beans and grilled corn.
Got the rear latch on the 4runner repaired. Amateur tip, reset any computer components if they are present. That took a minute to figure out why with new latch and button it wasn’t working. Happy Saturday evening you scallywags

Fuck them.
A cudgel is not a shillelagh. I have both of them.
What is the excuse for banning “oversized liquids”? I don’t even recall whatever ridiculous reasoning they cooked up.
2-part, liquid explosives.
Explosives, incendiaries.

“I Know There’s Something Going On” just came up on my kitchen iPod and had me grooving as I was doing dishes.
Huh. Pluto has ST:Picard. Not that I have any idea what is going on. Guess I’ll switch back to sportsball/puck.
If you are going to watch it, consensus seems to be at most only watch the third season.
I can’t fathom dropping into a series in the third season.

Yeah, Newsom is running for president.
Stevie Ray Vaughn is good.
Yeah, but SF’s property crime rate is roughly double the others.
I received a flyer in the mail today from this organization.
Continuing from the dead thred. Many of the longtime NW beers were rolled up into Olympia Brewing Co (Strohs) until the Tumwater brewery was closed. Longmire got me to pick up a pack of Rainier for the first time since that closed. Not bad lawnmower beer. Every time I go through or mention Rainier, OR, I hear it as Raaaiiii-neeeeee-eeeerrrrr.
Firsting is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
No need to announce you’re getting it on with yourself.

LOL, peak NYC.
Mayor holds event in the ghetto about some woke nonsense he pretends to care about, and things go predictably awry.
I’m sure Adams and all of his staffer and police walked to the event.
I’d vote to acquit if that guy started wailing away at the NYP and DM’s website designers.
The 5 or 6 train is a straight run from his mansion.
She was disrespecting Earth Day and something to do with Hispanic culture.
Lol. What did he expect in the south Bronx?
Someone needs to crunch the numbers and determine how many payroll hours corporate America has spent training their employees on how to treat trannies. Just to put things in perspective. I have spent exponentially more time being told how to treat a transgendered person than I will actually interacting with anyone who is transgendered over the next few years.
A) add in money saved from avoiding being sued (imaginary numbers are perfectly fine)
B) money spent on diversity training is never a cost, unlike luxury frills like after sales support
Let me guess: Celebrate the fuck out of it or you’re fired.
Eomer finds Eowyn on the Pelennor fields. I never thought about it, but of course she would have suffered from stabbing the witch king. What a scene.

Good morning, TO’G, Sean, ‘bodru, Stinky, and Roat!
Had a couple of friends over for dinner and cribbage last night. The guys kicked the gals’ butts at cribbage, but in our defense, both guys are much more experienced players than we are.
Not good at all but in a nation of over 350,000,000 these kinds of incidents are going to happen.
Just “odd” how they are all showing up on our various news feeds.

I can see the MN governor eating his heart out because NJ got a head start on this. His idea for Lutefisk Eating league never really took off.
