Sunday Morning Distinct Links

by | Oct 18, 2020 | Daily Links | 201 comments

Continuing with my theme of “no theme,” there will be no theme to these Links, just some birthdays, some music, and Links. And here’s a bonus link best seen on a decent size screen.

Sometimes it’s a struggle to get a decent list of notable birthdays. Today is the opposite, with a Cosellian veritable plethora of naissance, including a real personality; a guy who was continually the target of his father’s cutting insults; a rather stupid and incompetent Canadian who managed to be exceeded in these categories by his son; an icon of the authoritarian and mendacious Right whom I hope is in an even hotter place than here; a guy whose acting was just turgid, son; what happens when you let a Jew play baseball; an actor who delivered the absolute funniest line in all cinematic history; an icon and a punch line; an ex-marine who tried to do us a favor and brought us a disaster; the grandmother of female emo; someone who would be about number 296 on the men’s rankings; and a guy whose self-importance always seemed to dominate his talent.

Fuck the past, let’s move on to the news.

 

“Now you will never be Department Head.”

 

Take a boring sport played by second rate talent, politicize it, then wonder where the dollars are.

 

This is what happens when you try to outdo McAfee.

 

This seems like quite the event. I like the idea of some goy telling Jews how to run their finances.

 

San Francisco, the city of love and tolerance.

 

I like that this ended when someone returned fire.

 

And Old Guy Music is a remembrance of Pete Townshend’s manic energy, the brilliance of Keith Moon and John Entwistle, and the confidence that Daltry had in his mike cables. I saw them in ’69 or so and my ears are still ringing. When I’m dictator, this will be the only song allowed to be played in an election year.

    Meet the new boss,

  2. The Late P Brooks

    But I’ll try to make up for it with ill humor.

    I read that as “horror”.

    It works, either way.

  3. Sean

    2 lbs of gold in his ass? Wow.

    • Old Man With Candy

      Displaced the drugs which had fallen out.

    • Grumbletarian

      That’s just under 3 cubic inches of gold, so yeah…

  4. Homple

    If those went in as nuggets, that guy has a rolling mill fir a sphincter.

  5. The Late P Brooks

    Bird believes the problem does not lie in the marketing of the WNBA, more how society and the outside world is willing to embrace diversity, arguing that the “cute White girl next door” approach does not work for her league.

    Tell me I’m stupid and prejudiced. That will make me a fan.

    • leon

      You have to be a fan because it’s the right thing to do, not because it’s fun.

      If it’s fun it’s not [insert leftist cause] activism.

  6. Stinky Wizzleteats

    Why the square quotes around Islamist on the beheading article? That’s pretty much a given, they cut off his head for Christ’s sake.

    • Fourscore

      Last seen singin’ “I Ain’t Got No Body”

    • hayeksplosives

      They cut off his head, but “for Christ’s sake” it most definitely was not.

  7. Ted S.

    an actor who delivered the absolute funniest line in all cinematic history;

    It’s Joe E. Brown’s birthday?

    • Old Man With Candy

      Meh. But I was totally unamused by that movie.

      • Ted S.

        This from the guy who doesn’t like Jaws.

        It’s not a line but an action, but I’d also include the original To Be or Not to Be as having one of the great comedic endings in movie history.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Maybe he’ll like it once it’s remade with Will Smith, Liam Neeson, and…uh…whoever’d play Hooper.

      • mrfamous

        There’s no question to me that “groovy” is not only the funniest line in movie history, but the greatest one as well. First time I saw it, I laughed for about 10 minutes straight.

  8. Cy

    This FBI / Russian Collusion bullshit is infuriating. The FBI fucked up… again… got caught… again… The only thing they need to be investigating are the people who suppressed the hard drive and the Biden family.

    • leon

      FBI delinda est

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      The FBI are corrupt sacks of shit and have been politicized beyond saving. Investigating made up Russian disinformation allows them to cover their tracks on suppressing the information but I get the impression that most noninsane people aren’t buying that noise anymore.

    • Breet Pharara

      In 2016 it was the NYPD that forced the FBI to go public about the Wiener laptop and the Hillary emails on it. Once the PD figured out that there was classified info on it, they sent it to the FBI who ignored it. The NYPD got so pissed off it was being ignored that they told them they’d go public with it if the FBI didn’t. Dems still blame Comey for that October surprise, but it was the New York cops that forced the issue and Comey just had a rushed “review” of the laptop they’d had for a year so they could clear her royalness before the election.

      2020 really is just a shitty rerun of 2016.

  9. The Late P Brooks

    “They crossed the line. They shot children. It’s unacceptable,” said Mesa Police Chief Ken Cost during a news conference on Saturday afternoon.

    But was the shooter wearing a mask?

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Shooting adults should be unacceptable too.

      • Fourscore

        Seems like it but maybe not in AZ

      • Rhywun

        Yeah, that was a curious turn of phrase.

    • Cy

      I’m looking forward to the police chief kneeling and apologizing after it comes out it was a spontaneous BLM protest.

    • Ted S.

      Firebombing them, like in Waco, however, is perfectly acceptable.

      • Hyperion

        If Biden wins, he’s already promised to resurrect Janet Reno. If that fails, he promises to find another fugly butchkyke named Janet for AG.

  10. Rhywun

    Women’s soccer players generally are cute little White girls

    Has she ever even watched a match? To the extent that that isn’t complete bullshit, there’s a bit of selection bias maybe? The women’s game doesn’t attract the UN-convention range of talent that the men’s game does even in the US. IOW, there are plenty of US and Canadian blacks in the American league and national teams so quit your bitching.

    That whole article is a flaming pile of dung. Thanks a lot, old man!

    *need coffee*

    • Hyperion

      Xe got the not cute part right.

    • RBS

      “They are sport’s ultimate power couple”

      This is as far as I made it.

  11. l0b0t

    Thanks for the Krazy Kat. I’ve often thought Jim Woodring was influenced by those wonderful background scenes.

  12. Tres Cool

    Gold has a density of about per cubic inch. So while a pound is a pound, a small bit of gold goes a long weigh.

    • Tres Cool

      dammit….0.7lb/inch3

    • Cy

      Kind of gives a new meaning to polishing a turd.

      • Sean

        ?

    • Hyperion

      Gold specific gravity is 19.3 times heavier than water. A gallon jug of water weighs 8.3 lbs. You can do the math on that to see just how heavy gold is.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Gold suggested a “garbage theory” for the origin of life which was an accidental panspermia; the theory says that life on Earth might have spread from a pile of waste products accidentally dumped on Earth long ago by extraterrestrials.[21]

        It would explain a lot if we were the universe’s Porta-Pot.

    • EvilSheldon

      A 2# chunk of gold (assuming imperial measurements rather than avoirdupois,) would make up a sphere about 1.8″ in diameter. That’s certainly on the large side, but most adults would be able to fit that into the ol’ prison suitcase (with a little lube.)

    • R C Dean

      2lbs of gold is 32 1 oz gold coins. If you’ve forgotten what that looks like, why not just go get 32 gold coins out of your safe and look at them?

      Geez.

      • EvilSheldon

        Shit, you think I keep my emergency gold on site?

      • Sean

        Under concrete, in your basement.

      • Cy

        I’m just glad this is making me find a new hiding place. It was getting uncomfortable.

      • zwak

        Wouldn’t it be 24 one oz. gold coins?

        It is gold after all.

      • Toxteth O'Grady

        (30.2 troy oz if I have it correct)

      • zwak

        Why do I remember 12 troy oz to the pound?

        Damn public education.

  13. The Late P Brooks

    Rooting out the heretics

    Fox News host Tucker Carlson misrepresented the findings of a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report, amplifying misinformation from social media as he claimed on his TV show that the study showed masks don’t work like experts say.

    Running through a series of data points listed in the CDC’s report, Carlson said during his Oct. 13 show: “Almost everyone — 85% — who got the coronavirus in July was wearing a mask, and they were infected anyway. So clearly this doesn’t work the way they tell us it works.”

    The data in the CDC report, however, cannot be generalized to say “almost everyone” who wore a mask in July got the coronavirus. It’s from a very small sample the authors said may not be representative of the United States, and mask use was self-reported. The report does not say masks don’t work to slow the spread of COVID-19.

    The CDC study wasn’t measuring mask effectiveness

    Small samples which may not be representative don’t conform to the narrative nearly as well as models specifically designed to buttress our prefabricated conclusions. Don’t pay attention to them unless we tell you to.

    Fake news.

    • Sensei

      Look, it’s OK when our betters “shape” the data, but not when the masses do it.

      It’s the reason client “science” never releases raw data.

      • Hyperion

        EXPERTS!

      • Lazer

        Fuck these mask idiots. Went to the mall for needed shoes. The one store didn’t have them , the other kicked us out for not having them. Bought online. ( not from that store, but probably the one I bought from has the same policy). Uuuuugggghhhh. I just can’t with thee fucking mask, covidians

    • mexican sharpshooter

      It’s from a very small sample the authors said may not be representative of the United States, and mask use was self-reported.

      …but it is a valid sample of the population for them to draw conclusions on the hypothesis they were testing?

  14. Rhywun

    “Look, you can get married. You just can’t have 1,000 people at your wedding,” he added. “You get the same result at the end of the day. You’re married. It’s also cheaper.”

    The Luv Guv, ladies and gentlemen. *swoon*

    • The Gunslinger

      I wonder which cabinet position he will get in the Biden administration?

      • Sean

        Fluffer.

      • Hyperion

        Mafioso Czar.

      • Rhywun

        Miniluv

      • Cy

        Hunter Biden’s handler?

      • Pope Jimbo

        Social Security Administration

        Other people have talked about making SS solvent again, he’s the guy doing something about it.

  15. The Late P Brooks

    And-

    The CDC study wasn’t measuring mask effectiveness

    Why on earth would they do that? That would be foolish.

    • Cy

      You would think they’d measure something they’ve claimed is so imperative. So imperative in fact that they’ve openly violated the rights of every US citizen through mandates to wear one.

      Gee, what happened to following the science? Oh, we’re just going to not develop any data for it?

  16. The Late P Brooks

    “CDC guidance on masks has clearly stated that wearing a mask is intended to protect other people in case the mask wearer is infected,” the CDC said in the statement. “At no time has CDC guidance suggested that masks were intended to protect the wearers.”

    Oh, really?

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield told a Senate subcommittee on Wednesday that wearing a face mask could be more effective in preventing an individual coronavirus infection than getting a vaccine.

    Lying motherfuckers, one and all. They can’t be bothered to get their stories straight.

    • Sean

      It really is infuriating.

      • Count Potato

        Yes.

    • Hyperion

      Right now, the focus is not so much on masks. It’s all about the next and more scarier wave. It’s almost flu season, and you know, the vid is going to behave exactly like a flu because it’s not a flu. SCIENCE!

      • Rhywun

        I fully expect winter to be an absolute shit-show of more and harder lockdowns. Stock up, everybody.

  17. Rhywun

    Guess what, guys? When you try to run a business and your business plan includes charging your customer around 1/3 the cost of your product and letting your employees have the run of the place by dictating their own salaries, work rules, and whether they feel like showing up on any given day… well, you might have a problem.

    • Hyperion

      But we have to do it anyway cause it feels good and fairness. And it’s going to work this time, we have the right people.

  18. Gender Traitor

    My first husband had me take a form of the Myers-Briggs personality test soon after we met. The book including that particular test, as I recall, advocated having people seek out their “opposite” type in order to achieve “balance” in their relationship. No, sirree, not me – extraverts are too exhausting.

    • ElspethFlashman

      I took the MB three times. Once it was an employer /HR thing, the other two times it was part of my law school’s optional side curriculum on “development.”
      I never got the same result any of the times I took it. So I have little faith in the test. But I was also trying to “game” the test by reading too much into the questions.

      • Old Man With Candy

        I’m an LSMFT.

        SP is a big believer in the Enneagram personality test. She is still puzzled by how she ended up marrying a seven.

      • Gender Traitor

        I’m an LSMFT.

        This one?

      • zwak

        Didn’t she see the movie?

    • Cy

      “extraverts”

      Intentional? Either way, funny.

      • Cy

        o.O

        Learn something new every day. Thank you.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Me introvert INTP type. Wife is not and is exact opposite of me. She quickly realized that I just need longer to recover after a night out. I quickly realized that she needs social interaction.

      All that squared away we balance each other. I express the greatness of solitude and she has made friends for me! Win win.

      • CPRM

        I’m a mixed bag. An introvert AND a performer. I don’t want to talk to anyone, until I’m in ‘the groove’, then I’m ‘the life of the party’. (Alcohol helps with the groove, but even sober it happens when I get comfortable with a situation)

      • Ownbestenemy

        Its the misconception that introverts are loners or outsiders. We just warm up slower and yes, once in the groove we can be extroverted but the next day is usually a recoup day…usually.

      • Gender Traitor

        Performing != interacting, so yeah – works like a charm for us introverts.

      • Mojeaux the Malevolent

        Performing != interacting, so yeah – works like a charm for us introverts.

        Remember Emilio the matador-chemist? Covered introverted performer and Aspie in one book!

    Trouble in the twatterverse?

    One manager with almost nine years on the job said he was quite keen to watch Biden “crush [Trump] in the election” and that he hoped the president would “be utterly humiliated while also suffering greatly from #COVID19.” In another post he fantasized about the president being put on a ventilator.

    He calls Trump “a f–king idiot” and the voters who elected him — “hysterically f–king stupid people.”

    At the same time the employee has been a consistent cheerleader of his company’s efforts to rein in the president on the platform and curb the spread of “misinformation.”

    “I’m really proud of how quickly we’ve worked to make this possible for the US elections,” he wrote.

    Others publicly wish the president harm.

    One Twitter engineering manager said Trump should “die in a fire” in a January 2017 tweet. A year later, he rang in the new year by saying “Happy 2018! Donald Trump is dead!”

    None of these comments have ever been flagged by Twitter or been subject to any other form of official sanction, even as the social-media giant dishes out discipline to others for sharing legitimate news stories that might hurt Biden. The company finally ordered the vicious tweet to be deleted on May 29 — years after being posted.

    A consistent theme among employees is a desire to see Trump defeated.

    A talent brand program manager cried after Trump was elected president and publicly vowed to oppose him.

    A global project manager with more than a decade on the job posted proudly that he was phone banking for Biden.

    A vice president in sales finance said supporting Biden alone was not enough, and urged colleagues to spread cash to Dems in competitive Senate races.

    New York Post has taken an interest in the twatterers’ undisguised bias. What will the jury think?

    • The Gunslinger

      I don’t understand why anyone that is not a flaming leftist would spend any time on Twatter at this point.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        ^^ This. And don’t think it’s any different at the other big tech companies… It’s not.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      These are people that think globally publicizing everyone’s brain lint is good for society. I’m not surprised they lack perspective.

      • Hyperion

        Commies out of the closet. Doing what their grandparents couldn’t do. Likely their grandparents were card carrying members of the communist party. Their parents the same. Only their parents renamed themselves from communist to progressive and hijacked the word liberal from classic liberalism to be equal to progressive. They were the radical hippies of the 60s. But back then, most of them still needed to behave themselves to some extent and pretend to not be actual communists. Now, the mask is off, and their radical behavior is not only acceptable, but makes them heroes.

        It took the left around 100 years, but they now own academia (no surprise, it’s where they got their start), the media, entertainment, and now the complete takeover of corporate America is at hand. And they’ve already promised to pack the courts with full on commies. So now they are emboldened. but it also is making them extremely reckless.

    • Rhywun

      I’m so glad that shit doesn’t infect my workplace. Nobody talks about politics, ever. Of course it’s raining down SJW nonsense from HR but everybody just laughs that stuff off, keeps their head down, and takes the required training videos like good little soldiers.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        Just wait, the mandatory struggle sessions are coming because “it’s just good business sense”. ???

      • Rhywun

        Quiet, you.

        I really don’t know what I will do if that happens. I am not in a woke industry (finance) so I’m hoping and praying that things stay the way they are.

    • RBS

      “hysterically f–king stupid people”

      Well, someone is hysterical.

    • Mojeaux the Malevolent

      I am convinced that David Burge was not hacked. Taking him down was an inside job. I also believe that about Michelle Ray (@GaltsGirl/@RagnarsMate). Has anyone on Twitter posited this but me?

      • Ownbestenemy

        He is like plain toast compared to all of twitter. Someone has a personal grudge? Maybe the love of gas guzzling gaia killers?

    • Hyperion

      Look, just because they got themselves another house negro, doesn’t mean they’re not racists.

    • Pope Jimbo

      Group of racist MAGA white men won’t allow black man to walk on the same ground as them!!!!

  20. Scruffy Nerfherder

    “I didn’t expect a decapitation — it went too far,” he said, speaking with the permission of his parents, shortly after the incident that left his 47-year-old history teacher dead.

    A mild gut stabbing would have been sufficient.

    • Cy

      In the Religion of Peace, murder is for days that end in ‘y.’ But decapitation? That’s just bad manners.

  21. leon

    What is great about the FBI investigating the laptop for “Russian Disinformation” is that they’ve had it for almost a year, and did nothing. Russian Disinformation is only important if it is actually affecting the election I guess.

    Fuck the FBI and their blatant partisan moves.

    • Cy

      Not only that, if this were the actual case, they’ve had the evidence for a year. they should be 1 year into the investigation and have information to pass on about it.

      But they have nothing.

      Because they did nothing.

      Because they suppressed extremely damning and relative evidence during the impeachment of a President.

      Because Biden has to win.

      Because they’re the enforcement wing for the DNC.

  22. The Late P Brooks

    I only beat them because I love them, and they are grateful for it

    A day after winning a second term in a landside victory, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Sunday she sees the election result as an endorsement of her government’s efforts to stamp out the coronavirus and reboot the economy.

    ——-

    Ardern’s popularity soared earlier this year after she led a successful effort to halt the spread of the virus by implementing a strict lockdown in late March. New Zealand has had fewer than 2,000 cases of the virus including 25 deaths.

    Sometimes the sheeple want tough love.

    • Rhywun

      Sigh.

    • Pope Jimbo

      Ummmm…..

      Aren’t the Kiwis the equivalent of our Montanans in regards to their love of wooly things? I would think sheeple is a term of endearment there. I think they modified the Aussie “Sheila” into “Sheepla” there.

  23. The Late P Brooks

    If you can, watch a Gretchen Whitmer press conference. Pay special attention to the female “signer”.

    It’s gutbustingly funny to watch.

    • The Gunslinger

      Trust me it’s not as funny when you have the misfortune of living under her boot.

      • The Gunslinger

        For those that haven’t seen her, here ya go

        You’re welcome.

      • Rhywun

        LOL crunk

      • Hyperion

        Good grief, she’d look right at home signing for someone in Hitler’s Gestapo.

      • Sean

        Would.

        With a fake name and #. She’s got crazy written all over her.

      • Hyperion

        What would you expect? She’s Karen Jong Un Hitler’s henchwoman!

      • Pope Jimbo

        Pulllleeeeeeeeze. Once again Minnesoda leads the way.

        MI signer is totes barbie doll white girl. Minnesoda’s is an intersectional wet dream. (also for Glib fashionistas, check out the reporter at the 1 minute mark)

        So….because the on-camera interpreter can’t hear, she has a HEARING interpreter off-camera who signs to her what the speaker just said, and then she repeats it for the camera.

      • kinnath

        Is her name Amber?

  24. The Late P Brooks

    Because they suppressed extremely damning and relative evidence during the impeachment of a President.

    Seriously. Doesn’t anybody at the FBI watch movies. A truly dedicated agent would have snuck into the evidence locker and “accidentally” put a giant magnet on top of Biden’s laptop, to scramble the data.

    • R C Dean

      How do you know they haven’t? What we’re seeing isn’t from the FBI’s laptop, it’s from copies.

    • Cy

      If the recent whiping of the 30+ cell phones is any indication. This is probably what happened. They haven’t come out and told anyone what they did with the hard drive they have in their possession.

      All of the evidence is coming from the copy. That store owner deserves a Medal of Freedom.

  25. Sean

    Gonna be a good day. I’ve got filets and strip steaks to grill today. ??

    • PieInTheSky

      • PieInTheSky

        that is what you use a gas torch for

    • PieInTheSky

      is fillets the same as tenderloin?

      • Ownbestenemy

        The end part of the tenderloin near the rump I believe, more commonly known as fillet mignon

    • Rhywun

      Maybe that suburb votes differently than Seattle. Hard to find details on the tubes.

    • Hyperion

      Russian disinformation.

    Good morning Old Man!

    And a good morning to the rest of you cats and kittens!

    Nice lynx today. Intrigue, drama, stupidity and gunfire. 2020 continues to deliver.

    Scott Johnson over at PL did a nice tribute to Laura Nyro. I wasn’t familiar with her, but she was pretty incredible and had a helluva backstory.

    When I’m dictator, this will be the only song allowed to be played in an election year.

    Yes. What a great goddamn song. I watched the video twice because Keith Moon. What a shame to lose that one.

    I hope all of you have a wonderful day! I’m back in the land of 10,000 lakes, rested and ready for more 2020 insanity. As a wise man once said:

    Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.

      Big Trouble, Little China is such a ridiculous fun movie. Think the teens need to see it tonight follwed by Captain Ron.

      • KSuellington

        Captain Ron is one of my favorite comedies, somehow I missed that gem until a couple years ago.

      • CPRM

        You’re the father of teens and have not shown them Big Trouble in Little China?! I think that’s child abuse.

      • Ownbestenemy

        We work through A LOT of movies. Its on the list just haven’t gotten to it yet. Last one I put on was Waiting and firmly seeded their desire to never work in the food service industry.

    Huh. Whitmer was just on Meet the Press.

    Her message: The essence of true American spirit is unquestioning obedience to the government.

    I did not know that.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Which isnt a hard sell to the 35ish and younger crowd. Thats what they have been taught from pre-school onward.

    • CPRM

      Shouldn’t she be in hiding!? There are White Supremacists behind every tree plotting to kidnap her!

      • Hyperion

        Why? They’d be paying someone to take her back in less than a day.

      • Gender Traitor

        +1 Red Chief

      • Ownbestenemy

        Good movie

    • Suthenboy

      Why is that bitch not on the end of a rope?

      I vote to expel Michigan from the union.

      And another thing….I am not buying the kidnapping plot. Why kidnap her? To what end? If they wanted rid of her they would have just shot her Huey Long style. It was a plot discovered by the FBI? Now there is a credible source.
      I am calling bullshit on that.

      • westernsloper

        My money is on it being one of those cases where the FBI comes up with a plot and then arrest the people they mention it to who thought said plot was a good idea.

      • Count Potato

        It was the FBI guy who brought it up.

      • Ownbestenemy

        *Shocked face* Why, I do declare!

      • PieInTheSky

        TERRORIST

        Dr Weiss with an FN pistol in the corridor

      • Ted S.

        Not with a candlestick 9n the conservatory?

      • Don escaped Duopoly

        Speaking of Browning’s ugliest pistol, this also works:

    • Hyperion

      Yes, par for the course.

    • Rhywun

      The poor child will need his brain unscrambled some day.

      • Suthenboy

        You can’t unscramble that.

  29. The Late P Brooks

    I love those “The country is headed in the wrong direction!” polls.

    Now ask those people where we should be headed, and see how many of them agree on what the “right” direction is.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Wanting those two things to go hand in hand. I think the country is going in the wrong direction but I can deal with “one step forward, two steps back” with Trump.

      I cannot deal with “turn and walk in the path of history that ends in misery every single time” with Biden.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Just what a mole moonlighting as a Glib would say to throw us off the trail.

      • CPRM

        If I’m a mole I’m metastasizing, better get checked it out.

    • Plinker762

      My suspicion is that they said “Fuck it, I want to see this thing go off”

      • Ownbestenemy

        If that hit the German ship in ’45 that would have been like the Arizona without hitting the weapon magazine.

  30. Mojeaux the Malevolent

    We finally had to open the cat door and let the cats outside because they were darting through our legs every time we opened a door.

    So far the body count is 1 mouse and 2 birds.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Not a bad haul. My cat is afraid of birds ever since the mockingbird incident of ’15

      • Ownbestenemy

        Yes and did what they do best, mimicked her chattering and swooped at her mercilessly for a whole spring.

      • Mojeaux the Malevolent

        Gaia’s a bitch, ain’t she?

        It’s why I’m so flabbergasted by people who think they need to save the Earth. No, ya pansies, the Earth can take care of herself.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Or that nature is all sunshine and rainbows.

        As Carlin joked, the Earth will be fine, its the people we have to worry about…paraphrasing of course.

    • CPRM

      I thought The Virus! put her family in danger.

    • CPRM

      Fuck all them all for making this Blacks V Cop Suckers; when it should be Citizens V Militarized police.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I blame NWA

      • Agent Cooper

        Northwest Airlines?

        Niggaz with Altitude?

      • hayeksplosives

        A million times this.

        This is why they had to drop the story of the pretty white Australian tourist getting shot fatally by a Minneapolis cop.

        As a bonus, he was a Somalian who was fast-tracked into becoming a policeman so the force would be more diverse.

    • KSuellington

      That area is bum, dealer and junkie central usually. So having people there who have different political views totally ruined the lovely vibe that generally pervades the area.

      • Rhywun

        I saw the Cocteau Twins down in that area in the late 90s. What a shithole. It was scarier walking down Market Street than anywhere I’ve walked in NYC over the last 20 years.

      • zwak

        South of Market. Yep.

        I am so sad for the city of my father and great-grandmothers birth.

  31. hayeksplosives

    Young men, take note of Ecclesiastes 7:26 : “I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.”

    • Ownbestenemy

      Hot/Crazy via God’s metrics is still relevant today.

      • hayeksplosives

        Iron law.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Already covered by Potato. My bad.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Its okay we needed the moment when gold fell out of your ass.

  32. hayeksplosives

    I’m looking forward to watching Red Zone channel today. There are so many games in the early time slot, Andrew Sciciliano will have to switch all over the place.

    I always enjoy his snide throw away comments and the obvious disdain he has for the commercials he has to read. His use of withering sarcasm directed to his interns when they put up the wrong feed makes me smile quietly to myself.

    • hayeksplosives

      Too bad he looks like a big eared Paul Ryan.

      • CPRM

        But does he use a P90X while listening to Rage Against the Machine advising policies 90 degrees against what his heart throb Ayn Rand would propose?

      • hayeksplosives

        Um….no?

      • Hyperion

        Eddie Dumbo Munster?

    • hayeksplosives

      Siciliano making the best of bad intel:
      “I made a mistake earlier. Vanilla Ice is performing at halftime, not Eminem. How could I mistake the two? One has talent—and the other is Vanilla Ice.”

  33. Suthenboy

    Just got in from the store. Frying oysters and shrimp today with a salad on the side. Tried to buy vodka but they wouldn’t sell to me. I forgot, it is Sunday. No liquor before noon.
