Ahh, weekends.
Lunch was supposed to be tacos and a beer, followed by afternoon housework. Well, lunch was tacos, a beer and a mezcal. Afternoon housework became throw in the clothes and take a nap. I’m not sorry one bit.
Links?
I have a 25 year unbroken streak of avoiding the Oscars. This isn’t enough to change that.
Now rule those fuckers unconstitutional and be done with it.
“We need more cannon fodder. Get on it.”
Okey doke. Time to go move the clothes over and pour a ranch water. Peace out, Glibbies.
No shit you run – dumping Justin Bieber on Glibs???
It fits the theme.
There is a difference between unwanted and illegal.
First time I’ve heard his “talent”. I’m speechless.
That’s some Ted’S level hate.
What in tarnation?
Spud went dark this evening.
It was probably the mezcal.
Sorry, not sorry.
How many bodies are scatted around the Mojave desert from trying to steal from Las Vegas casinos?
All of them?
Well I imagine some of those bodies in the Mojave are there for other reasons. Not that I would know anything about that.
βInvestigators allege he was part of a scheme to steal money from the casino in which someone pretending to be the tribal chairman called it and said he needed money for an urgent payment.
β An employee who was duped by the claim collected $700,000 in cash, left the casino, took it to a Gary, Indiana, gas station and gave it to two unknown individuals, authorities said.β
That doesnβt happen unless tribal bigshots regularly take big sums of cash from the casino. It would never happen in a normal business.
Anyone see CPRM lately…
This happened at a McDonalds here a couple of years ago. Someone called and convinced the manager on duty that one of the other employees had been arrested and needed money for bail. She emptied the safe and headed to a parking lot across town to hand over the money. Fortunately, one of the other employees working that day realized what was happening and was able to reach her on her cell and explain to her that it was a scam before she made it to the handoff location.
To a parking lot? Not even to a bail bonds storefront? π€¦π»ββοΈ
Right? I should add that the scammer was a former employee who had just been fired a few days earlier, so he knew the manager and knew the employee schedule for that day. He claimed that someone who was scheduled to come to work later that day was who had been arrested. The manager on duty believed she was helping the business by bailing out an employee so they could make it to work that day.
Interesting fact: McD’s policy on employee theft is that if you steal and get caught (and you will; everything is on camera), you get one freebee as long as you admit it and return the money. Needless to say, this manager used up her one free chance on this day.
The rule “would treat virtually every entity that contracts for labor as a joint employer because virtually every contract for third-party labor has terms that impact, at least indirectly … essential terms and conditions of employment,” the judge wrote.
By George, I think he’s got it.
I don’t see any sax in that Bleeber… Bliebner… -whatever- video. That dood is saxless.
So the ending to the ten hour sax video you posted is a reverse Seinfeld episode. He wasn’t able to go down on Elaine for a week.
Good Heavens. Poor Elaine.
It really is an entirely different embouchure.
The NLRB and many unions have said the rule is needed to ensure that companies come to the bargaining table and can be held liable for labor law violations when they have control over the working conditions of these contract or franchise workers.
They want to force people to join unions. Freedom is slavery.
Instead of munny, let’s send the NLRB to Ukraine. They can regulate the Russians into surrender. Or walk through a field of land mines to see if they will detonate.
100%
That doesnβt happen unless tribal bigshots regularly take big sums of cash from the casino. It would never happen in a normal business.
Oh, come on. Any assistant manager worth his salt would empty the safe and hand it over to some random stranger in a parking lot based on a phone call.
They could write a financial advice column for New York magazine.
As my sainted Ma would have said “he [Bieber in this case] looks like he smells bad”
She’s right. Holy crap, I wouldn’t get within a hundred feet of that.
Can we frighten any n00bs this evening?

How is this not bigger news? Fauci admits Covid vax causes myocarditis in young people!
Fuck you, that’s how.
Oh yeah! How could I forget the fine print in the Social Contract!!
Fauci admits what everyone already knows?
How is that turd still living?
Evil never dies. And as McCoy said once, “Good only wins if it is very, very careful.
Damn it R.J. I’m a doctor not a philosopher.
I am sure the architects of the whole fiasco knew this all along. I am torn over whether they thought it was a feature of a bug. In the end I suppose it doesnt matter
feature OR a bug.
Well, it kinda works both ways, doesnt it.
Ya know, 1 omlette requires lots of eggs.
Um. Wowza. He–of all people, says that–and I agree with others: Nothing will happen.
However. I do have hope, Ever-Optimist Ev, that enough spread will further (uh-oh) sweep (uh-oh again) and rage–fuck it–will finally boil over and November will be a hilarious shit show cuz Team Blue won’t be able to dig their way up(!) from the mess Biden showed this week. I just read the dumbfuck AP headlines full of marvel about his cognitive abilities. My FB is buying it, but that doesn’t mean much.
Something interesting, this November comes.
βWe need more cannon fodder. Get on it.β
International Women’s Day was an explicitly socialist observance. The speed at which the Ruling Class adopted it in the post-Communist era is astonishing.
Saw that on a cooking forum. π
Because women belong in the kitchen?
It WAS an aproned home cook to another, briefly observing the occasion.
I got some Herdez prefab guacamole the other day. It’s not bad, especially if you tune it up with some chunky salsa.
Then it’s not Guac, you heathen!
Bipartisanship lives!
President Joe Biden signed a package of six government funding bills into law Saturday, a day after lawmakers raced to fund critical government departments and agencies through the remainder of the fiscal year.
The spending bills β backed by the top Democrats and Republicans in both chambers β represent a major breakthrough for lawmakers after months of using stopgap bills to avert shutdowns at the eleventh hour and a race to get the latest measure across the finish line ahead of the Friday night deadline.
The White House thanked top congressional lawmakers from both parties βfor their leadershipβ in getting the bills to the presidentβs desk.
That explains why my ass hurts.
End game.
Doesn’t the Constitution require the counting of (legal) non-citizens in the census?
It doesn’t differentiate.
Because it’s fucking obvious that non-citizen/non-lawful residents shouldn’t be counted for the purposes of apportioning citizen representation.
How is this not bigger news? Fauci admits Covid vax causes myocarditis in young people!
Did you hear about the State of the Union address? Biden totally rocked. And then that hapless airhead Republican in a prop kitchen made a complete fool of herself.
Who expected the Government of France to be a remake of “Harold and Maude” with the surprise ending of Maude being a tranny?
“It’s a clown world after all.”
Well, that clears that up.
I have…knowledge…that this same tactic was tried at a casino around here. Fortunately, even though the guy who was called is as dumb as a box of rocks, he had been warned that this was a scam going around and tragedy was averted. Or so I hear…allegedly…yeah, that’s the ticket!
Looks like that casino is 45 minutes South of me. It’s just outside the town of Watervliet. Just off of I-94.
Pikers.
I don’t miss it at all
Can’t imagine what it would have been with out climate change. KC was lucky that the Climate czar was on that to insure it wasn’t really cold.
My husband and I now have a bet that the amputees will sue the Chiefs/NFL/Jackson County/GEHA/state of Missouri/all associated parties.
He says a lawsuit will be successfully filed.
I say no ambulance chaser worth his siren will take a case where adults knew the conditions and were free to leave.
We have a steak at stake.
Not a gift certificate to Famous-Barr?
Or some Lion’s Choice ?
Q: Did you hear about the judge who faced a death sentence on trial for witchcraft?
A: His Honor was at stake.
First my husband tortures me with mimes and now you’re killing me with old-man jokes.
Stupid Frenchies. I hate mimes.
One time I was jammin’ @ air guitar. The mime next door came over to complain.
Is your husband trapped inside a box?
No, he pulls out.
He won tickets to Mummenschanz?
OMG Resident Alien is so stupid it’s hilarious.
Watched a few episodes…I thought that was the point.
That or we were supposed to guess if the guy was suffering schizo delusions or really an alien.
I loved Tudyck in A Knight’s Tale.
Ya know, I could almost watch that tonight.
Knight’s Tale is one of my favorite movies. No shit, in my Top 10. It knows what it’s doing and sticks the landing.
Paul Bettany as Chaucer, perfectly over-the-top. *Mwah*
Haven’t watched any episodes this season. My DVR should be recording them, but I haven’t been watching TV lately.
The premise of the show is that the alien, who is so bad at acting human that he makes the median Glib seem like a social adept, somehow convinces everyone but a couple of kids that he is normal.
That, and that the black sheriff who is incompetence and gullibility personified, got elected by the same townspeople.
Alternately cringeworthy and literally laugh out loud funny.
So…it’s a ripoff of 3rd Rock From The Sun.
Yep. Direct ripoff, it seems. Actors getting trapped in their ‘fictional’ worlds has been done several times. Galaxy Quest nailed it.
At the end, however, it’s a variation of one of those Universal Story Lines: ‘A Stranger comes to town.’ Another is the Search for Lost Treasure. Old friend and bandmate argued those were the same plot, merely from different perspectives. Β―\_(γ)_/Β― Checks out to me.
“An employee who was duped by the claim collected $700,000 in cash, left the casino, took it to a Gary, Indiana, gas station and gave it to two unknown individuals, authorities said.”
Ya know, Im not entirely about protocols. But if this is how you operate your accounts payable, you may want to re-tool your business model.
A lot more than 1 employee has to negligent for that to happen.
“Negligent”
He says he was duped. How do we know? Could be a double scam.
“I swear I gave it to the tribal chief, same as the last time'”
Is there a Zoom? Is it just that generic link on the homepage?
Yes. Anybody there yet?
Easy way to find out…
I need some food first. Will be on around 9:00 CST.
Not you?

David Lucas’ appearance on Michael Malice’s Your Welcome was pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWynefUHhms&ab_channel=MichaelMalice
I couldn’t get very far through David Lucas’ special though.
Joe stood, hunched, grimacing, and shuffled toward the bathroom, trying to raise his hands to his ears.
That may be the saddest thing SF has written.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-trump-raise-the-settlement
Things have slowed to a crawl, and I can’t imagine why more of you won’t help Trump make America great again.
Really and truly, friends, it’s time to get cracking and restore the pace. Now, we’re only $352M short of our goal, so this is very much doable. All we need is 6.3M more contributors, $55 a throw, and if we can hang on, at this rate it will all be taken care of by 2040.
Billionaires need your help, and the most libertarian president of all time certainly deserves it more than any. It’s credit card easy for you help fix everything. Trump is our savior, our Polaris: give today, in the name of all things holy.
thank you and amen
Stop that.
I am trying to be sleepy here and you are cracking me up.
1.3M raised! Unreal. Someone dented $10,000. I imagine this wouldn’t count toward individual campaign contribution limits. Brilliant!
dented? FU autocorrect. *donated
“$1,343,614 raised of $355,000,000 goal”
LOL

There’s an incredible mystery guest on Zoom!!!
I have never zoomed in the zoom room. I have no idea how it works. One can be anonymous there?
YOu need to make sure your display name is anonymous before you join the meeting. I have a Zoom account, so I set up me name in advanced. No idea how to do it without a account.
The person may or may not resemble Lara Croft
In that case, I trust you all are on your worst behavior. π
Tres Cool is, for sure
Isn’t he always?
Accounts are free, just takes a minute to set up on a PC.
ANd you can turn your camera off, if you have one, before you join
OK.
“This person may or may not resemble Lara Croft”
I cant be tricked that easily!
I have known everyone here for so long I can tell who is who just by their comments. I dont have to look at names.
Dont dox ’em, but surely y’all have an idea who they are.
Hmmmmm probably the fed mole in our midst. Crofty? Must be a honey trap.
Read OMWC links on any given day
ANyhoo she’s gone – I think we were sufficiently scary
Tomb Raider.
Mrs. TOK is right now at that casino in Michigan for a concert. I hope she looks out for shady folks. Or comes home with $700k.
I saw Duran Duran at a casino and it was the best DD show I’ve ever seen. Love the mid-sized menus, with booze
“best DD show”
Phrasing?
Paul Giamatti, shooting his idiot lackey in the ass
Come on, tell me that’s not comical.
NOBODY LIKES YOU
granted
GO AWAY
also granted srorry
Hiya, Scroty! πββοΈ
Giamatti is gold. Him as John Adams and Laura Linney, my favorite actress, as Abigail, are among my favorite portrayals in a wonderful series. Damn. Do I have access to that? I could watch the fuck out of that this weekend. Damn!
Ohh, yes! That was a wonderful series.
And Laura Linney… hell yes.
And Stannis Baratheon is also Thomas fucking Jefferson?! And HE KILLS IT?! Tom Wilkinson as my Dream Person to Chill With, Benjamin Franklin?!
Took me further down my rabbit-readin’ holes.
Eeeek. I always come back a bit too late. I can’t zoom tonight, though I’m hiiiiighly interested. (Dammit. That comes off wrong, though I *am* chill-high.)
Folk ’round?
Zooming. Big Zoom party.
Dammit. Damn damn.
Is anything going on tomorrow eve?
I’ll be doing the colonoscopy prep tomorrow eve, so yeah, for me I think something will be going on. lol
π«
Hmm. Yes. I see what you mean.
Rereading that, Ev is feeling he’s REALLY missing something…
Um. Is this just the tip of the iceberg? You sound eager to further investigation…
Uh-oh. I fear I’m missing something possibly meant.
Chill-high, is all. Nothing more.
Although probably more applicable to NDM when he’s done with his procedure.
My mistake!
Hopefully I can use tomorrow to fortify the week, and absolutely nothing political intended. It has been quite stressful and time is running out. This gig is running down and gotta step it up to the next level. Every step counts and I have confidence tomorrow will be stronger than today.
I’ve got most of my contribution written. Haven’t put it in the new layout system. I’ll figure it out tomorrow. Pictures will be a tricky hurdle. I’ll see what I can come up with. It’s pretty much about my basic nature and always seeing the bright side. See the smiley faces in headlights.
I want to believe that this means when Macron is getting intimate with his grandma-wife, he thinks about the fact that she looks like a man and is unable to get it up.
I really didn’t need to read that before going to bed.
She has a wrinkled Fred Gwynne face and does the Munsters cackle when Macron goes doggy style.
Mornin’ all!
Death to DST! DEATH I say!
Good morning, Beau! Hear, hear!
*waves*
::waves back at Sean::
Good morning GT! How are you on this almost seasonably chilly morn?
Well, thank you! Got my chai latte in my cat butt mug and choral music on the streaming satellite radio! (And SiriusXM restored the “Restart” control, so I don’t have to get up at 5:00 a.m. to catch all of the show!) How are you?
Kinda cranky. Partway through doing laundry. Trying to focus so I can get some reading done, but too busy looking for distractions ;-\ The usual Sunday BS.
I’m with Beau, DST sucks.
Harumph. Mornin’
