Hey Buddy! Stop Doing That! Part 3

After a few of you made disturbing assumptions about Part 1, I attempted to make it clearer in Part 2, but to no avail. As much as I hate having to explain my art to philistines I’l just come out and say it – He’s not doing what you think he’s doing, you sickos.

 

 

 

 

Yes, I shamelessly stole that one bit from a British sit-com, It’s the American way.

    I wanted to use this First to pitch my new screenplay. It is a dark and gritty Critters reboot where Leonard Dicaprio reprises his role from Critters 3. It sets ups a cinematic universe with Gremlins and Ghoulies which will also feature their own reboots. We start with Critters 5 because of the star power of Leo. I think this will play big in the Chinese market. I have already sent the script to Leo’s people. Alls I need is a producer who shares my vision. With your financial support, I becomes we and we can make anything happen.

      Using Hyperbole’s post to flog your screenplay is the equivalent of “Fearless girl” statue being placed to face off the Wall Street bull.

        ^—-meant in fun to Poke Brocettq for his incessant firsting.

      • Brochettaward

        The only one who will be having fun is me when Critters 5 is an international hit and you’re left on the outside looking in when you could have been in at the ground floor.

      • kinnath

        Is this supposed to be some sort of comedy act? Or are you just the asshole that like to piss in other people’s pools?

    I am sensing a resounding lack of interest in The Hyperbole’s creative effort.

    So something of more interest – we tore open the ceiling in the basement-level garage today, as yesterday we discovered a broken water line to the toilet in a seldom used bathroom (above the garage). Oh yeah, loads of wet, starting to mold insulation and now we have fans and dehumidifier set up to try and dry the wood out. Mostly likely going to mean new flooring and subflooring in that bathroom; the only good news is we caught it before it did even more damage.

    • Nephilium

      Ouch. Water is a bitch.

      This is why you always watch your wort chiller.

      /ask me how I know this.

      I walked downstairs after dinner and heard water running and the well pump recycling. I looked everywhere, saw nothing leaking. Went upstairs, went to the master bath, ah, the problem, last user, Mrs F, and the flapper had got hung up. Jiggle the handle and fixed a plumbing problem. No idea why she didn’t hear it from the kitchen.

      Sorry to hear about yours, JI, a real pain re-drying and sorting out what the actual damage is. Sheet rock, insulation, carpenter ants, infrastructure.

      My late BIL bought a house in Bloomington, IN, for his sons when they went to school there. Plumbed an ice maker in a new refrig. (He was an MD, not a plumber). Left, came back in 2 weeks, 30 K damage but the insurance was hospitable and paid a large part of it, I don’t know how much.

      • Ted S.

        Those 1920s girls can be a real problem, can’t they?

      • juris imprudent

        Friend of mine’s house in Houston was hit very badly by Hurricane Harvey – sitting some 30 ft above the creek that runs thru the property. I can deal with something this small, his whole house was gutted.

      • Fourscore

        Was it Katrina, 2007 or so that left many, many Houston homes underwater for long periods of time?. I left Houston the day before Katrina hit, still have some pictures from the restaurant TV showing the hurricane closing in.

      • DrOtto

        Katrina missed Houston, but through the miracle of transplanting half of NOLA in Houston, it doubled the murder rate.

      • Viking1865

        A friend of mine in college was from Houston. She was 16 when they moved NOLA to HOU, and man she fucking hated the NOLA crowd. Like, with a burning passion. Said her high school went from basically a mildly tough low income school to a fucking war zone overnight. Like, not just fights, but actual assaults, including sexual assaults and rape.

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        Let me assure you that DFW cops were not usually fond of the NOLA transplants.

        OK, the professional shit-disturbers were ‘secretly’ thrilled to have them around (they feigned exasperation). They looked forward to having some shit to get into. And, often times, the transplants gave them plenty to deal with.

    • Mojeaux

      Genuinely empathetic condolences.

    • westernsloper

      This is why all plumbing should be exposed and not in #spaces. Also why all garages should be heated so you can see the plumbing going to whatever is above them if something is. How we build houses is borderline moronic to anyone that has spent time on a ship. I have felt this way for decades.

      • westernsloper

        Also, my Dad had a sewer line separate in the crawl space due to ground heave awhile ago. I will take a feed line leak to a toilet over flushing your toilet into the crawl space for a few months. I felt bad for him for that one and was really surprised I didn’t get that call which I would have gladly helped him with. Moral of the story again is evil #spaces though.

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        “#spaces”? Like….back seats of cars? No-tell motels?

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        “nonzero”?

        …..”Sport”? Eh? Eh? wink-wink, nudge-nudge!

        /I’m partial to “vending”. And, “beverage”.

      • Mojeaux

        Sorry, that was a bit of a non sequitur. That WAS a funny tweet and totally true.

        But no, the lady in the original vid said, “Let’s spatchcock a chicken.”

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        Oh..”She” said it. I somehow glossed over that word. Or, just presumed Atomly is female…. Sure–why not.

        Yes, “chicken” is a perfectly cromulent word. 😉

      • Mojeaux

        My husband winces and squeezes his knees together every time I say “spatchcock.”

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        Yeah–even if you didn’t know the term, it sounds vaguely sinister and painful– like something is about to be struck by a spatula.

      I’m going to paint with a broad brush here and bet that the percentage of men on this site who thought he was doing something pervy significantly outstrips the percentage of women with the same thought.

    Crusty’s fun facts!

    Twin Peaks was on network tv.

    • westernsloper

      That explains why I have never seen it.

      • Nephilium

        It was done by Lynch, you should watch it. At least the first season.

      • Not Adahn

        The third season is a worthy addition.

  10. Crusty Juggler

    As someone who has decided to just live trashy so it all ends soon, I must ask: what’s your favorite McD order, and what’s the best and worst liquor to go along with it?

    • Tres Cool

      Breakfast?

      Tang and komchatka vodka.

        I figured you for more of a Taaka man.

    • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

      two Mcdoubles, a hot & spicy mcchicken, a large fries and a large shamrock shake with baileys. Doesn’t go well with Tequila.

      • westernsloper

        Adding Baileys to a shamrock shake would be the only way I would ever try one. Challenge accepted!

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        I didn’t realize people were actually taking this seriously. Shamrock shakes are disgusting.

      • Mojeaux

        Truer words were never written.

      • Nephilium

        From my days working there (if you like shakes), ask for half Shamrock and half chocolate. It’s no more difficult then pushing a button halfway through the shake being made, so you’ll have to stir it yourself. But then you can get chocolate mint.

      • Mojeaux

        No, thanks. I’ll just look forward to Chick-Fil-A’s peppermint shakes at Christmastime.

        I am not a pumpkin-spice-everything girl. I am a peppermint girl. But Shamrock shakes are just … no. No.

      • Crusty Juggler

        Oh my God.

    • Mojeaux

      Post-bfast: Big Mac.

      Bfast: Sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin and hash browns.

      Liquor? What’s that?

    • R C Dean

      Just don’t do Mickey D. Now, Sonic, I’d have to see a menu.

      “Eat what you want, and die like a man.”

      • Tres Cool

        Sonic totally rocks my fuckin’ nuts off. Well, used to- the franchisee here had some trouble, and they shut down locally.

      • pistoffnick

        The nearest Sonic is 2.5 hours away.

        When I lived in Wichita, my favorite Sonic order was the chicken strips with fries, buttered toast, and white gravy. My wife loved their lime-aids.

      • Bobarian LMD

        I drive by Sonic every day.

        The food is decent, but the service at that particular Sonic is so bad, I have boycotted them a number of times.

        The boycott gets ended when the Wife craves the breakfast toaster.

      • Threedoor

        The sonic where I live is the slowest fast food I’ve ever ordered. I’ve left the drive through line more times than I can remember and yet I forget how bad the service is and keep going back.

      • Gender Traitor

        There’s still a Sonic south of town if you’re really jonesin’ for cherry limeade. Used to drive right past it on the way home from the closer-to-work Y, but now I’m going to the closer-to-home Y.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        I love me some sonic happy hour drinks. Their food is hit or miss. Burgers are good. Fries, Meh. Jalapeño poppers ?. Ice cream ?‍♂️.

      • Mojeaux

        Sonic is my boo. I can make a meal out of onion rings and a cherry limeade.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        oh, I forgot their onion rings.

        *decides to subtly drop hints to see if pregnant wife will suddenly have a sonic craving *

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        If we’re talking burgers and onion rings, trshy, Burger Street, or, GTFO.

        But, go for the one in Addison–just north of the airport. Quality people AND food there.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        I haven’t been since I got back in town, but burger street is good stuff.

    • Fourscore

      Anything is good until paired with McD’s coffee. That stuff is a crime against humanity.

      • Nephilium

        Sorry. I worked as a teen at a McD’s. I still can’t eat their food to this day. I know (intellectually) every other fast food does the same (or worse), but since I’ve never seen it, I can at least pretend ignorance.

      • Crusty Juggler

        Mad respect.

      • Crusty Juggler

        Mad respect.

      • Crusty Juggler

        Mad respects.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        I’ve had much worse fast food coffee. Maybe the local McD’s doesn’t scrub the pot?

      • Bobarian LMD

        Hmmm, I kinda like their coffee.

        Burger King used to have the best coffee, and then they made some deal with Seattle’s Best.

        Burnt coffee, just like Starbuck’s.

      • Gender Traitor

        Is it Seattle or Portland where they like everything burnt?

        /Midwesterner too lazy to look

      • Threedoor

        McDonald’s used to serve Seattle’s Best. Then Starbucks bought out Seattle’s Best and McDonalds coffee turned to utter crap.

    • Gadfly

      Fries (freshly made – ask for less salty fries and if it is an accommodating franchise they will make you fresh fries, then put more salt on them yourself) plus a chocolate milkshake.

      • Nephilium

        Go full Ohio and get a Frosty and fries. Dip fries in Frosty.

      • Gadfly

        While the spirit of that idea is sound, I find Wendy’s fries to be inferior. Perhaps a two-stop hop is in order to get proper fries to dip in the frosty.

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        Inferior to 80’s/90’s McD fries, or current fries?

    • DrOtto

      2 McDoubles and a G&T.

      • Agent Cooper

        A man after my own liver.

    • EvilSheldon

      Breakfast – Two Sausage and Egg McMuffins and a large black coffee, half poured out and topped up with Early Times. That’ll either kill you or cure you – possibly both.

      Any other meal – Five or six McDoubles and a large Sprite, no ice, once again half-and-half with Early Times.

    • Threedoor

      Two sausage and egg McMuffins with cheese or a double quarter pounder with extra pickles and mustard. With booze? Oreo McFlurry with Kahlua.

    • Annoyed Nomad

      According to 23&me, I have more Neanderthal DNA than 92% of other customers, but it still only accounts for less than 2% of my DNA.

      • Hyperion

        “The study also finds further evidence of interbreeding between humans and Neanderthals, but places it much earlier than we previously knew – some 200,000 to 300,000 years ago.”

        Well, that’s interesting. Since the homo sapiens only emerged from Africa 100K years ago, at most, according to current theory, does that mean we got out of that shithole a lot earlier, or that we met up with Neanderthal down there?

      • UnCivilServant

        I’ve seen conflicting theories on that timing.

      • Threedoor

        They downgraded me. I was in the 98th percentile, now I’m 95th for Neanderthal.

    Hmmm…

    “Jack”

    “Cod Knobbin’ muth…”

    “Run this up the old flagpole”

    No implications whatsoever. Nothing to see here.

    • R C Dean

      Sleight of hand. Misdirection.

    • The Hyperbole

      “Jack” is just a generic name, and originally I had the other guy call him “Jack” because he didn’t know his name, but it grew on me and the character became “Jack”

      “Cod Knobbin’ Muth…” is a tribute to an old mason I used to know.

      The “flagpole” thing was intentional but directed at the God botherer priest.

      any other implications are purely in the mind of the reader.

      • Gadfly

        any other implications are purely in the mind of the reader.

        Considering that implication is an oft-used tool in art because it is generally superior to explication in heightening both horror and romance, you are not absolved.

        Oriental = mysterious/inscrutable/exotic…take your pick. Which, as we all now know, is just fetishizing those of slanted eye and yellowed skin Asians.

        Because, don’t you dare call anyone, or, their culture “exotic”!

      • Viking1865

        Honestly, racial descriptors become no-no words when a new generation of youngsters is indoctrinated by their teachers. It’s all about changing up the language to make older people feel uncomfortable. “Colored” used to be the polite term, now its considered derogatory.

        I guarantee you 40 years from now I’ll be telling a story at Thanksgiving and I’ll use “Black” or “Latino” and my young woke grandkid will cut me off and say “Granpap, you can’t say that anymore, it’s 2060. You say “Nubian” or “Sangre de Latin”. Be better.”

      • Viking1865

        More like “Barron Trump is your President, and will be for four more years. Go get me a beer.”

    Just had my third Branch Covidian exchange in the supermarket checkout line. The guy in front of me as he was leaving looks at me and says, “dude, your mask is below your nose, cover up.” I wear a neck gaiter to do the absolute minimum and it was indeed below my nose. I replied back, “dude, you should always keep your mask on, it improves your looks.” I need some more snappy lines for idiots as at this point 95% of people here are walking around outside with masks on. It really is the fucking dark ages o’ derp.

    • Brochettaward

      In most instances, calling another man a cunt in America will leave them in stunned silence. It’s an instant win. Just a simple, “Shut up, ya cunt.” And be about your business. It would have been especially fitting in this instance given you were dealing with the male Karen.

      • KSuellington

        Solid line there.

    • grrizzly

      Supermarkets and liquor stores are the easiest places to shop without a mask. Practically all employees don’t care. That includes purchases requiring checking an ID or a manager override. Can confirm it both in Mass. and Southern Cal.

        I got chased and yelled at by two employees in Albertsons in Washington two weeks ago. For some inexplicable reason Walmart was closed at 8pm and I was forced to go elsewhere to get my weekend work food. Never again.

      I dunno….maybe, “I had to do something to get you to stop checking out my package–looks like it worked”.

      Or, if you wanna go in another direction–“Look, I just need a little bit fresher air–it’s just a feedback loop of your wife’s taint under here.” If the scold looks old enough to have teen aged or older children, you could substitute ‘daughter’ for ‘wife’.

      • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

        Or, maybe ask them if they require you to cover up your ankles, as to not tempt them further. That, or refer to them as “Pastor Dimmesdale”.

      • KSuellington

        The first mask shaming attempt I did exactly that. I laughed my ass off. It was genuinely funny though. The kids and I were riding bikes in the park and two middle aged Karens were walking up the six foot wide path. When they saw us coming they crouched down next to the far edge of the path and they had pool noodles (I shit you not) that they held out like a sword talisman and shouted at us to wear masks. It was hilarious.

    Note the “Mexican Lives Matter” sign. Not even pretending that illegals are “residents” here.

    Local police are allowing these this criminality as long as it’s not “violent”, and a city councilor is participating in these riots. This is no different than how the Klan operated in the Deep South with the connivance of local officials.

    Most modern Gaia worshipers have things completely bass ackwards. Humanity isn’t a parasite, nor is it a virus. To say so implies that we are an external force visited upon this earlthy realm by means nefarious, or at the very least accidentally. No, if anything, I contend that Gaia herself is a parasite/virus. She wishes for nothing more than to spread her DNA upon first the solar system, then the nearest stars, then the galaxy, ect, ect…in short: She’s the female counterpart the Marvel Universe’s Ego Celestial. She wishes to expand herself further into the cosmos and we’re nothing more than the expression of her will to do so.

    Fuck your precautionary principle. Spiral out, expand, evolve, be greater than the the host who created you, or at the very least delude yourself into believing that you’re escaping her clutches while unwittingly carrying out her will. Either way, the world is accounted for. Every mile divvied up and taxed accordingly. Freedom on this planet is a lost cause. Pray your great-grandchildren can find it on star system[REDACTED].

      1. Harris is so black that her own point of reference for life as an 18-24 year old was being a sheltered college student living in a dorm.
      2. Harris spent her career as a prosecutor fucking over 18-24 year olds who made poor decisions for life.

      • straffinrun

        The picture of her with her parents is quite telling.

    • Frnxt Ghrt Digby Gurm

      Could that maybe be the smartest thing she’s ever said, even if it was “wrong”?

      • KSuellington

        That woman has continually done a shitty job and yet fallen up every single time. I really don’t think that she is going to pull that many votes to Biden, I think she possibly repels as many. The Dems will have to have their ballot harvesting and counting really dialed in to get a win. It is Trump’s to lose, and while I can see him doing so he will likely prevail again.

        It would be nice if she lost her Senate seat as a result.

      • Hyperion

        She’ll be OK. I’m sure her family still has plenty of that slave trade money saved up and re-invested.

      • Hyperion

        Also, she’s 56 years old now, sleeping her way up from here is going to take more energy than she’ll be able to muster. She should have stayed in her Senate seat, she would basically become the next DiFi for the next 30 years.

      • KSuellington

        I’m sure if (when?) she loses that she will be right back in that Senate seat. She may even zombify there like Diane, if she wants to. Not like the voters will have a choice, or an inclination to not vote for her.

      • KSuellington

        A few here have commented on her record as a prosecutor. We have all seen Tulsi rip her on putting people in jail. The thing is, I don’t think hardly anyone would vote against Team Biden* because of that. Even in California, she was more criticized for being soft on crime than heavy handed. Really, she was capricious, those that were expediently punished were nothing to her, those that could serve a political purpose were spared. Which is why she let go a violent illegal alien minor gangbanger instead of turning him to the Feds, who then murdered a dad and his two sons a few weeks later. That is the kind of ad that you will see about her, and one that will be ultimately more effective.

      • Brochettaward

        Trump can’t attack Harris for being tough on crime. That wouldn’t make sense. But he has to hope that her history is a turn off to some on the left.

      • KSuellington

        There will be a hardcore lefty contingent that will be turned off by her being a prosecutor, she can stand to lose all 768 of their votes. Also 247 libertarian voters, including Nick Gillespie, won’t vote for a Biden ticket with a hard nosed VP prosecutor like her. Skin color and private parts trump that for 95% of proggies (at least those proggies that wouldn’t be turned off with having Uncle Joe as the nominal head of the ticket).

      • Rhywun

        And there is plenty of ammo to use against her for using the office to build a slush fund. California voters might appreciate the grandstanding and shakedowns but not the country at large. No need to discuss “law and order” at all.

      • Festus' Mustache

    I’ve brought up before my interest in The Copper Culture, the only known culture in pre-colombian America that made metal tools. It existed in the NE Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. The Neville Museum in Green Bay was one of the only museums to have an exhibit on it on permanent display. This year they remodeled their permanent display and I went there today. They still have the artifacts, literally in a drawer. They are now in an installment about archaeological layers where you open drawers representing different layers to see what artifacts were there. It is the lowest drawer, with nothing explaining it. Drawers above it contain stone tools. It made me sad.

    Down the pub for a point! Sadly not today. Mornin’ Glibs. My car failed on corroded brake lines. Fair enough. I’ll do it myself since the mechanic was trying to upsell me replacing everything, even the lines that had zero corrosion. Go figure. Same day I caught a trespasser on the property. I escorted him out, politely, after the various lies he offered for his unlawful* presence quickly fell apart and I marched him off.

    *It’s only trespassing if you’ve been expressly asked to leave or something. No castle doctrine, no stand your ground. Your property is anyone’s “right of way” unless expressly stated otherwise in each individual case, from what I understand. You even have a de facto duty to retreat on your own property, although it’s technically up to a jury to determine that.

      Hmmm…you escorted the trespasser “out” rather than “off”? Was he actually in your domicile??

      • limey

        Fortunately not. What with the car being off for inspection it was the first day the driveway was empty so I guess it looked like nobody was home. I saw him out the window, checking out some equipment I had outside, so I ran out to confront him and it turns out he’d hopped the fence. I escorted him out of the gate round the side of the house. Definitely didn’t want him inside.

        There was a bit of congestion in the kitchen, where I stopped for breakfast.

        No mice, I hope.

        Gonna leave a Yelp review?

        Yay! It sucks to work with incompetents. Happy happy Joy joy!

    KDW lays another turd.

    The gist: the Dems win because it’s the GOP that has the stink of racism on them. (Just pay no attention to their current presidential candidate, I guess – or the decades of shitty policy the Dems have imposed.) The words “free shit” don’t appear; although you can read between the lines and detect them.

    Senator Harris’s purpose on the 2020 ticket is not to convince more black voters to support Democrats but to convince more white voters that they should not support Republicans.

    He is correct about this, at least. Young white voters are indeed swayed by the Dems’ grandstanding and lies. No solution is offered to counter this effect.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      National Review is replete with country club neocons who’d rather lose gracefully than win ugly which is the only way to win now unfortunately. Their day in the sun has been done for a while. As for the young white voters being swayed, that’s been the case for over half a century now. There have always been idealistic pie in the sky suckers for the Democrats to prey upon, at least until they get older.

      • Festus' Mustache

        National Review represents the Neo-Cons that we despised from the 80’s and 90’s. Fat, happy and willing to shed shed blood and money so long as it it not their own. There was a reason that I was pretty far left back then. I despise that Amuricah, Fuck Yeah! site.

      • Festus' Mustache

        Damn! Same punchline in totally different threads within 8 minutes. Good mornin’ GT.

      • Gender Traitor

        Good mornin’, Fes! Time to go clean myself up for the ol’ day job. Pleasant dreams, if dreams there be.

      • Gender Traitor

        Also – great minds run in the same gutter.

    Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chair Ron Johnson suggested Wednesday that fellow Republicans on his committee were blocking him from subpoenaing former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan and other figures involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and its contacts with Russia — even though the panel gave him the unilateral power to do so in the spring.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      They don’t want to impair their ability to do something similar in the future by holding Comey and the other scum accountable. They really are the worst of the worst, at least the Democratic politicians fight for what their constituents want.

      • Festus' Mustache

        Cake. They all want cake.

    • Festus' Mustache

      You can’t shut down the bar Moe! What about the graft? Think of the graft…

      I don’t get it. When did the definition of “unilateral” change?

    In Pittsburgh there have been so many people trying to get their concealed carry permits that they’re backed up to the end of 2020. The Allegheny County Sheriff has decided to do something about the backlog by offering drive-thru concealed carry permit services. This is a solid plan and one that could help streamline things in a lot of cities and states (so take notes, people).

    Gun control – another victim of Covid-19.

      AMAZING: city Yankee finds a great way to fix a problem

      YAWN: just get rid of the requirement for licenses
