I had a great visit with OMWC last weekend. There was only one weird bit. Every time I told him he should get up close to the pizza oven to really get a good look at it, he got nervous and backed away. I don’t get it.
People were born on this day in history.
As long as they have a remote controlled off switch, that can’t be disabled, I’m good with it.
Someday, he will have a planet named after him.
Stupid people continue to do stupid shit.
Meanwhile, in bearded Spock universe.
How about a little Doobie’s tonight?
Dr Kate Darling’s robot is about 9″ long and takes two “c” batteries, imma guess.
Don’t think she needs to resort to toys.
Maher seems to get something decently correct about twice every 5 years or so. It’s way more than most of the true believers, I’ll give him that.
He’s still an obnoxious, arrogant prick, but he does get it right now and then.
Exactly right.
Thanks for that musical classic, but I’d have liked it better if they could all have been in the same room or on the same stage. All sympathies for the working musicians who don’t have many years of hits behind them, struggling to get by right now.
Pre-MMcD Doobies is the best Doobies. There – I said it.
I’ve posted Black Water before. This just seemed unique.
I am unaware of anything positive Michael McDonald did for the quality of their music.
Here’s one you never hear. Probably never would have been a radio hit, but a good ‘un, IMO.
The last time I heard that was back when I used to sit cross legged in front of the turntable and watch the vinyl turn. This one was a favorite from back then.
From the sidebar. I’ve been nostalgic, but not like this before.
Possibly Tom T’s favorite Feat, with some musical royalty singing backup,
That’s a good one (although, Emmylou always seems like a Manson girl to me) but I’m partial to this one.
Yup. That’s the other contender for top spot. 🙂
The fact that Little Feat isn’t in the Rock and Roll HOF is an enormous injustice.
After they induct the J Geils Band I’ll be pissed about Little Feat.
One of my favorites.
For many years South City Midnight Lady was my go-to song when I needed to be cheered up. Now that I live in the Bay Area, where the Doobies also hail from, I realize that “South City” is likely South San Francisco, as the old time locals call SSF that.
They did have a certain Baxter Guy on guitar though, he stunk up every song he was ever on,
/Thank God for Skunk,
And now Skunk is an expert on international missile defense. Really.
Indeed, Skunk as DOD consultant is proof we live in the most amusing timeline.
+1 Aegis
This is not even remotely controversial.
And, Van Hagar sucked ass, except for this one song.
Incorrect. 5150 is the most superior Van Halen album. (DLR was perfect for the time he was in, I still like them then too)
Van Halen was a rock band. Van Hagar was a pop band.
5150 is the California legal code for an involuntary psychiatric 72-hour detention, for those who might not know. Guess the album title meant the band was a bunch of crazy guys.
The album name was false advertising. The Van Halen brothers out of control drinking on the other hand….
Pre-MMcD Doobies is the best Doobies.
That’s what a fool believes.
Guilty as charged.
Yes, you are foolish
What the Minister didn’t explain is $640 million of that is for masks, required quarantining of the people working on the project, mandatory vaccines, and anal swabs used in daily testing of all involved.

“Portland rioters set fire to Apple store that had George Floyd mural, vandalize church that feeds the homeless”
LOL @ Portland.
They riot because they care.
Not mentioned in the article is that that Apple store just reopened in February after being closed for 9 months. Should have left it shuttered.
This is shortly after the city of Portland is trying to lipstick their pig of a downtown. Didn’t last long.
Steps to fixing Portland
1) hang the DA
2) shoot the rioters, bayonet the survivors
3) expel every leftist
Since that is never going to happen, it’s never going to get fixed until it runs out of steam or they finish eating each other.
One does wonder how much more of this the voters are going to put up with. It’s long been a thought experiment of mine for, say, my city – now we handy example to watch it play out in real life, I guess.
I think there’s a split in East and West Coasts. West Coast leftists seems to be more kool aid drinkers and aren’t all that upset if fundamental basic government services aren’t being provided.
I think you are right GL. I also think that limit hasn’t been tested, yet. At some point the tax base is going to erode. When that means schools get closed or the fire department is understaffed it might change some minds. I would bring up police protection but Portland has made its thoughts on the crystal clear.
They’re not going to change their voting patterns, they’ll just move so they can continue voting for the same shit. Meanwhile, Portland will turn into a more scenic version of Detroit with only dead people, Communists and feral dogs left to vote for Democrats.
It feels like all the progress the cities made since the early 70s is just gone. Back to being crime-ridden shitholes.
Why does the Doobie Bro fiddler have purple lips? I saw that vid back during peak lockdown and he kinda creeps me out. Good song though.

Well played.

Nope. Try harder next time.

Hello darkness, my old

So Bill Maher thinks if all fatties had just listened to the wise words of the the wookie nobody would have died of Covid. My disdain for that POS could not be greater. Praising DeSantis is a given because he is one of the few Governors in the nation that called this as bullshit. That does not make Maher smart. It means he at least pays attention and then is wrong on everything else.
Shut the fuck up, sloper.
*testing
??Fuck, didn’t work.
Maher believes is some unorthodox health theories. I don’t think he is an outright anti-vaxxer but I think he cuddling with it. He also has a way of observing actual results. His politics aren’t my politics but I give him credit for calling out his own team.

Are we having happy hour this evening or did Neph get ran over by a car on his ride today?
Maybe?
My insights aren’t good enough for you?
Bill Maher strikes me as a guy that could be a Libertarian, but somewhere in his brain wires cross that don’t allow him to go full Libertarian.
Wasn’t there a short time he called himself a libertarian?
He used to invite lib-conservative Rep. Dana Rhorbacher on his show frequently.
My wife’s dad was campaign manager for Rhorbacher. He came to FIL’s wake and gave a typical political speech. He couldn’t help himself, what with the podium and all.
It ain’t Rush, but check out these lyrics.
Classic eighties inspirational rock with a heavy libertarian bent. Good stuff, if not a bit too commercial for me.

That is the model I bought.
If any of these rioters can articulate what it is exactly they want I’ll drink an IPA, they simply want is to destroy things (because it’s fun) and if they can score some free shwag along the way all the better. Ascribing political motivation to their action may be their cover story but none of them give a rat’s ass about building a ‘worker’s utopia’
whoops ‘spose to be a response to Rhywun.
I would wager it’s significantly more than “none of them”.
It’s a mix of opportunists who want to loot free shit and communists… Who want to loot “free” shit.
I’ve always believed that these “Marxists” have only the thinnest of thin clues about what Marxism really is or even would be. They just think it sounds edgy as well as it isn’t what we are doing now so it has to be better. They don’t apply any real thought to it, just go for what feels right to them. Actually building something like a business, an industry, or a free and just society is too much work and would require them to engage with other people who might not agree so they take the path of least resistance. Besides, being a Marxist means they can say they never have to work with anybody else in the current system since it doesn’t lead to their utopia.
How do you tell a communist? It’s someone who’s read Marx. An anti communist is someone who understands Marx. Reagan, I believe.
And a really funny dude is probably one of the Marx brothers.
Yeah, I think my response to someone who claims to be a Marxist would be – “Yeah, I think Groucho was the funniest of them.”
You are correct sir. It was Reagan.
Pure group think. They’ll do whatever they’re told to stay “in” with the group. The commies have built themselves a perfect army of worthless pawns.
I really like that Doobie Brothers song.
The official description: The Lord of the Rings “brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
So… it’s not The Lord of the Rings.
“The Department of Defense convened a panel to study the roots of extremism after the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol,” said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. “We had to understand how a person becomes radicalized. And Jesus Christ did you know what the Marine Corps is like?”
I’m honestly not sure if this is satire or real.
(Yes, I know it is a satire site)
In his closing monologue Friday night, Maher took aim at the media’s “panic porn” during the pandemic, citing a Dartmouth study showing that “nearly 90 percent” of U.S. national media coverage was negative in comparison to other countries even as conditions were getting better.
Maher said that? Is the Sun still rising in the East?

Ted’S back to bringing the hate.
Wow, blast from the past! I used to listen to them all the time in the 80’s. Just listened to a couple songs now and it holds up really well. Gonna have to rock out one of the albums.
Dio was my first concert ever at Alpine Valley on the Sacred Heart Tour. I was about 14 and some “old” dudes (early 20’s) included me in all their joints throughout the show. Still one of the best stage shows I’ve ever seen.
A couple buddies started their first band around this time and called it Sacred Heart. First gig was a Catholic Church festival, where they played Dio, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Rush, Judas Priest, etc rock. Probably not what the church thought when they booked Sacred Heart. It was just an early afternoon show, so not a ton of people.
Yeah, you’ve always had good taste in music.
So have I.
Yeah-huh!
I had a nice, quiet drive in the mountains of Vermont to spend a few hours in New Hampshire.
I was saddened by the number of people in Claremont were wearing masks despite the mandate having expires. But no one seemed to care about me not having any – except one door bouncer at a grocery store who didn’t fix their company policy.
The hardest thing was finding a restaurant that was open for sit-down. Three of the restaurants I tried weren’t even there. No sign of the building for two of the three. One turned out to be a store instead. I did eventually get lunch at a place that I’m surprised was even open because it looked like it would have gone out of business in the beforetimes, let alone with the recent restrictions.
But the trip has done wonders for my mental health.
Yeah, I was in Woodstock today and saw way too many people wearing masks outside.
I can’t imagine living back east right now. Wife and I went out to an outdoor brewery/live music/food truck place, grabbed dinner at a tex mex place and went to the sporting goods store and I left my mask at home.
It was the closest to normal I’ve felt in a long time.
Disgruntled would be an improvement from where I have been.
No wonder my stress levels have been high – it’s not all work.
I’ve been disgruntled for so long I don’t even remember what it was like being gruntled.
At least you’ve got the possibility for a ラッキースケベ moment.
What’s it like.
Metro NYC is awful. I especially like the walkers in my suburb wearing masks.
Last summer the mask shit was almost over. Hardly anyone was wearing the fucking things on the street. What the hell happened?
Damned if I know.
It became a political badge of loyalty, that’s what.
Imagine how loyal the double maskers must be!
I think that’s right.
Today I visited 3 grocery stores and a liquor store in or around Boston. Interactions with store employees and shoppers everywhere, no self checkout. Nobody mentioned that I had no mask. I probably do it to verify that most of the 95% of creatures outdoors and 99.99% indoors wearing masks are still human.
I think even before the current pestilence, Maher was branded (accurately or not) as some sort of vaccine denialist.
Any disease that might affect most people should be vaccinated against, if possible. Covid doesn’t rise to that level.
By that logic, one shouldn’t get most or all vaccines.
Historic pre vaccine infection and death rates
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/articlepdf/209448/joc70121_2155_2163.pdf
Even in peak years, far fewer people were infected than have been infected with covid and the death rates for many diseases was also less. Smallpox was NBD by the numbers.
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you actually believe all of these numbers.
For clarity, the ‘vid has killed (close to exclusively) people over 60 with multiple comorbitities. It doesn’t kill randomly. I could give a flying whit how many people got the ‘vid, how many people are at serious risk of dying? Almost none. Most of the childhood vaccines are time proven and not very dangerous to take. The diseases they protect against strike randomly and have terrible consequences for almost everyone who gets them. Covid is not like that, at all. Further, the death numbers are massively inflated and the infected numbers are massively understated. This pandemic has been a scam from day one. I ain’t about to inject an experimental drug to protect me from a disease that probably won’t even bother me if I get it.

Also, his response to why Texas and Florida aren’t worse makes me sick. It should be, “thank god they are going great, let’s all follow the states that are doing best. I dont understand it but by god their numbers are incredible and we have a lot to learn from the states doing the best.”
His obviously being Fauci. How on earth does someone who studies medicine decide I’m not going to use my knowledge to help a single person alive. I’m going to give up all challenge and sacrifice to help anyone and will devote my life to graft? Bureaucracy? Lying? It is at the end of the day very sad. But deadly for everyone else.

I don’t really watch the news but will stop on Fox. Those stupid fuckers won’t let an idea breathe for more than 2 minutes. They seem to rush guests off for no reason other than, “our audience is retarded and cant keep a thought.

You think Fox is bad try tuning in your local news some time.
That’s some Ted’S level hate.

Somehow all the national network evening news today (per my wife who likes to watch them, I always have to leave the room before losing my voice shouting “bullshit!” every few seconds) missed the story of Portland rioters burning down the Apple store and the homeless program. But they did have several features on the growing menace of white extremists.
Guess who is going to have some awkward parent-teacher conferences.
