I hope the Glibs are having a fine weekend, whatever you’re doing. Here at the Spud household, the air conditioner that has been here since the house was built has taken a complete, and final shit. Fortunately, we’re only hold at 100* for the next two weeks. So it goes.
How about some links!
So I wonder if anyone picked up on the irony of a militia group being harassed by the government on Independence weekend?
You keep that pussy contained.
A whole bunch of someones are not going to be getting there packages next week.
Seems appropriate.
What’s a shew?
Ask Ed Sullivan.
$20, same as downtown.
Really big?
Exactly.
Gesundheit
“Here at the Spud household, the air conditioner that has been here since the house was built has taken a complete, and final shit. ”
Yikes! At least we have Yusef here to answer any questions.
Anyway, shop around, the price differences I got were huge.
Sorry Spud about the AC.
The advice to shop around, if you are willing to do so given the temps, is sound.
I got quotes a couple thousand dollars different for the same exact models.
“So I wonder if anyone picked up on the irony of a militia group being harassed by the government on Independence weekend?”
Not on CNN.
Be honest. When the Spudmeister said, “Militia group,” you pictured a bunch of middle-aged fat white Boomers in a pickup truck caravan, didn’t you?
I did.
No pictures on the AP link. Imagine that…
Well, no, as they don’t look fat, white, or that old.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9752493/Massachusetts-cops-issue-urgent-shelter-place-warning-eight-heavily-armed-men-run.html
Anyway, aren’t most militia groups mostly white, but generally young and in shape?
In shape? Maybe to the extent that round is a shape…
The militia groups that showed up to a few Reopen NH protests were in shape. Not “round is a shape” shape, actually in shape.
Show me the “militia” and I’ll show you the crime(s).
wut
Morocco is Muslims, right? There’s your answer.
“Introduced by the Knox City Council, the new rule will require owners to keep their cats on their property at all times.”
At least they can go outside. I also don’t see how you could pass a law allowing cats on other people’s property.
So, they are forcing people to herd their cats?
It will be a catastrophe.
When they write the ticket for violating it, the part that tells you how much to pay will be called, the fee line.
*narrows gaze*
When it comes to serving narrowed gazes, Swiss don’t pussyfoot about.
It’s easy to get a narrowed gaze. He just follows the laser around.
It will be a catastrophe.
The prize you get for going over the line on this site could be called the Cat Ass Trophy.
“Give the ticket to the cat. I told him to stay inside the fence”
Alternative: “Ain’t my damned cat, neighbors let their cats loose and they go every where”
Such deference to sovereign citizens who aren’t obeying muh athoritay. I wonder why that is… wait, even labeling them as sovereign citizens is hedged…
“One clip shows several men dressed in camouflage clothing waving a Moroccan flag as they stand at the side of the I-95 and declare ‘we are not anti-government’.
A separate video, filmed after daybreak, shows one of the camouflage-clad members speaking directly to the camera, stating: ‘We’re not anti- police, we’re not sovereign citizens, we’re not black identity extremists.
‘The possession of a gun per se, constitutes no offence, so we haven’t violated any laws.’
‘The police saw us on the side of the road with our guns secured, we were afraid, so we got out with our arms, and I have a body camera that has been recording the whole time,’ the Rise of the Moors member insisted.
‘We reassured them multiple times that we are abiding by the federal laws as well as the judicial opinions of the United States Supreme Court, but they keep portraying us as being anti-government but we’re not anti-government at all.'”
I’m kinda liking these guys. Maybe it’s the wine.
Or, maybe it’s that they’re walking the walk.
Yes.
Imagine the giddy excitement of the Biden admin when they though they’d finally caught them a bunch of them white supremacists. Oops.
Oh, I’m *sorry*. The article says “Moops”.
There it is. I was beginning to get disappointed with you people.
The Zero Hedge comments already had that one. (don’t ask me how I know)
“Other notable socialists, like former British MP Laura Pidcock, made similar arguments. “The sea is on fire but some people *still* think capitalism can be managed,” Pidcock argued on Twitter.”
CWAC
lol. The accident happened to a state owned company.
whoops.
Wonder if she thinks Venezuela is doing a great job managing their capital.
They would be fine but for the kulaks and wreckers.
Idiots so not think twice before shoving their foot in their own mouth.
In Germany they don’t have any AC because it will get some spooks and faeries on you. Or something. We just don’t have enough superstition in the USA.
That goes down under the next thread.
Retarded asshole. Capitalism is what people do whether or not you manage them. It’s the natural state of humans. The alternative is called authoritarianism. That’s the idea that you can manage every fucking thing.
Something I learned on the late side – if Capitalism happens in jails, then it isn’t really a system of economics; it’s a description of reality.
My audiobook listening while doing mindless things at work atm is The Fatal Conceit (trying to educate myself enough to get my knuckles off the floor). Hayek points out, (which I knew but never really thought about) capitalism/trade pre-dates governments. It is truly the natural order of things.
Sorry to hear about the a/c. Hope you can get your hands on something, even a window unit.
Stupid little box fans are going for $28.
I’m too hot to even make a joke about fried spuds.
Bah.
Technically, he’s baking, not frying.
I’ve got a loaner from the company that keeps the family room and kitchen comfy. Fan and open windows will do for the bedroom. The new unit goes in Tuesday. I just really didn’t want to write that check right now.
A fan and an open
windowdoor when it cools off is my main go to for sleeping in the summer. I almost bought a swamp cooler this summer but decided to save my money for fire wood for next winter. I like the sound of the fan when I go to sleep. The air movement doesn’t hurt either.Good to hear.
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/noah-rothman/please-democrats-go-ahead-and-cede-all-that-makes-america-great-to-the-right/
We have reached the point at which Americaās sophisticated opinion-makers are appending a trigger warning onto the Declaration of Independence.
āEvery year for the past 32 years,ā NPR began its Friday-morning news show, āMorning Edition has broadcast a reading of the Declaration of Independence by NPRās staff. But after last summerās protests and our country attempting to confront our history, we want and need to be honest about the words in this document.ā
What followed was a critique of that document, which was mostly a ālong list of grievances and charges against King George IIIāāa bizarre rebuke of the Declarationās central purpose. NPRās hosts add that this tract declared āall men are created equal,ā even though āwomen, enslaved people, and indigenous Americans were not held as equal at the time.ā They note that the original draft of the declaration was amended to exclude references to Scottish mercenaries and the evils of the African slave trade, which offended some delegates to the Continental Congress and represented an obstacle to its adoption. Finally, a āracist slurā against Native Americans (that being āmerciless Indian Savages,ā who were āexcitedā to total war against the colonies by the Crown) remained.
Dammit who could have forseen this? Also you know what they are doing here right? Any appeal to the Constitution or the bill of rights will be dismissed as racism. And since racism is hate speech and it should be banned.
Seeing Cosmotarians complain about this reminds of those Russian liberals who were shocked that Lenin had them arrested.
As I recall a number of us warned those idiots writing for TOS that it would come to this and all we got for it was scorn. Fuck’em. No one pushed them into that cesspool, they jumped in on their own.
At least they mentioned the first draft talked about slavery. No mention that it was Jefferson that wrote it, that it was in all caps, and it was two southern slave states that objected to it.
Go on NPR, explain the rest. That Indians were foreign nationals, citizens of their own sovereign nations.
It will likely end up coming to blows with these commie shitbirds.
It already is (look what “antifa” is up to below).
Well, I’m a grandpa now. Happy Independence day weekend to you all.
Sweet! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congrats to you, the little one and the intermediate process who forked off a child. May many happy years of spoiling them befall you.
Congrats!
Grandkids are the reward for raising your kids right.
Congratulations!!
Not to be a curmudgeon, but lately I’ve met a lot of grandparents raising their grand kids because their kid turn out bad.
Yup. Know of several examples. I was trying to keep it upbeat, however.
keep it upbeat
Sorry. My bad.
Thanks all. She has already pooped on her mom 2x.
Good girl. That’s how you shitlord.
I can’t celebrate the birth of children. In my religion, when the great Firstening happens all people will stop procreating and humanity will all ascend into the afterlife sorted by the order of their status. Firsters, seconder slaves and thirder undesirables who must cover their faces at all times and never touch the Firster or his possessions.
Bullshit. Babies are in a constant state of firsting. They are your masters.
Blackjack speaks the truth.

Congratulations!
Grats! Being G-parents is way better than being plain ole’ parents.
Congratulations!
Congrats! And happy no independence days for your kiddo.
Good for you, you degenerate granny-fucker!

Encomium to Pontiac
It is coming up on the eleventh anniversary of the death of Pontiac, a fatality not so much of the 2007-2008 financial collapse ā which delivered the coupe de grace ā but rather attributable to slow-poisoning by the parent company, General Motors, a process that began decades before the flat-line made its sorrowful progress across the screen in October of 2010.
Pontiac was once GMās stylish performance division. Other GM divisions, notably Chevrolet and even Buick and Oldsmobile, also had stylish cars that offered performance. But Pontiacās way of serving both together was unsurpassed by either.
There was nothing in either the Olds or the Chevy inventory for that matter to stand equally tall with a classic ā60s GTO ā just one piece of evidence in support of Pontiacās rightful claim to have been (sigh) the premier stylish performance division of General Motors.
How come we can’t just say, they sold their soul to the government for some cheap money at a convenient time?
Anyway, the ’60s Chevelle SS was way better than the GTO. Pontiac get’s the nod for keeping some performance in the 70’s, namely the Super Duty 455, but in the sixties, they were just one of the pack trying to catch up to Chevy.
The Chevy SS396 *ruled* the streets when I was in high school. Left the 427s in the dust.
My current second car is a Pontiac G5 GT and I’m loving having a stick shift to play around with. I’d forgotten how much fun a sports car could be.
I traded my ’12 Challenger with an auto in for a ’15 with a stick. Much more fun to drive. (even thought the quarter times are faster for the auto)
I liked the various late model Grand Prix I had. Really liked the red lighting for the instruments.
I like a lot of Pontiacs. These people are saying that a Zl1 Chevelle is a lesser car to a basic GTO. That’s just not true. A 1975 Z28 is a serious P.O.S. compared to a Super Duty Trans Am from the same year, but in the sixties, it’s just plain bullshit. An individual can prefer a GTO, but that’s not even remotely objective.
Btw, a friend had a ’69 model J with a 428 that was very cool. Plain white 2 door with no vinyl top. It was pristine. That was in ’86 or so. I always coveted that car.
My Pontiac muscle car experience was my budy’s ’69 GTO Judge. I rebuilt the engine on it but that was 25 years ago.
On Independence Day
This weekend marks another 4th of July, the day marking the announcement by representatives of the American states that they were seceding from the British empire. It is impolitic to mention that fact nowadays.
It does not make it less a fact, of course.
Nor less sound, as an idea.
Secession is nothing more than parting ways ā peacefully, ideally ā from those who do not share your point of view. We secede in this manner, on an individual basis, in everyday life all the time. We hang out with, date and even marry people with whom we have common interests and goals. Because we like them ā and because we want to.
If we do not have common interests or goals we usually agree to disagree and go our separate ways.
Who can reasonably argue with the soundness of this? Who likes the idea of being forced into association with others who do not share the same interests and aspirations? Indeed, with others who have opposite interests and aspirations? Who do not like ā and even hate ā us?
I wish there was a movement for the vast majority of CO to secede from the Denver metro and close surrounding counties.
Nice try but the left will never give up tax cattle peacefully. Anyone who tries to get out from under the boot will be dealt with.
Safety Cult
It didnāt just happen that a majority of the populace bought into the hysteria manufactured about a virus that doesnāt kill 99.8-something percent of the otherwise healthy population. They were primed to buy into it ā by decades of programming about saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety being the single most important thing in life. Even to the extent of stifling the expression of life.
It goes back generations and has many facets but the most obvious antecedent is the ululation chorus regarding the Danger of Speed ā defined by the ululators as any speed beyond that posted on a sign standing by the side of the road. Such speed killed, they said.
Or rather, asserted.
“Earlier this morning, police attempting to conduct a routine traffic stop encountered a group of heavily armed individuals who refused to obey the lawful commands of officers to drop their weapons. Several of individuals pointed their weapons at the officers, and at some point shots occurred. At this time, two officers are dead and three others are in critical condition in area hospitals. We have since learned that these armed individuals belong to an extremist militia group that is hostile to government in general and law enforcement in particular. We also believe they intentionally provoked a confrontation due to the proximity of the 4th of July holiday. Investigations are continuing and as such we have no further comment at this time. We urge anyone who may encounter these armed fugitives to dial 911 immediately and not to approach them. They should be considered armed and dangerous.”

“Protesters who opposed a Los Angeles spa where a person allegedly exposed their penis to women & girls were left beaten & bloodied today by antifa, who called them transphobic. @LAPDHQ largely did not intervene until antifa began rioting on the street.”

I get a visceral desire to harm Antifa when I see videos of them. I probably need to avoid anywhere they might be. They ain’t worth the trouble I’ll cause myself.
Yep. It is unlikely they will come here. that would be a big mistake on their part.
The brownshirts of the left. Once their usefulness is ended, they’ll get it just as good and hard as Rohm did or the Ted Guards at the end of the cultural revolution.
Or Red Guards. Ted Guards were from the Grammatorial Revolution.
Don’t the Ted Guards give the bum rush to speakers that espouse wrong think?
ted guards are all talk.
They’re all punctuation.
They’re very possessive.
The Ted Guards link to your favorite music.
At least the camps will have good music!
That first sentence doesnāt have a verb.
*ducks *
Wow if accurate.
There’s video.
I donāt think Antifa really cares about trannies, but it is a good cultural wedge issue to cause strife around. And they desperately want more of that.
Yes. They plan to sow divisiveness as part of the scheme to erase the United States and replace it with a socialist paradise, just like the others, only this time ran by the right people ( like Biden/Kamala and Hildog!)
My gut says theyāre going to end up in unmarked graves at this rate.
So if you get attacked for objecting to some adult showing their penis to little girls, the next level can’t be far away. Get ready for some guy in a wig to go into a girls locker room, whip out their penis and start openly and furiously masturbating to showering girls. Anyone objecting will be called transphobic. “It’s just a natural act the person was doing, are you phobic of nature too, you bigot?”
“Ohio high school students expelled because their parents campaigned against Critical Race Theory
Columbus Academy, an exclusive private school in Columbus Ohio, has expelled three students due to a campaign led by their mothers against the teaching of the Critical Race Theory curriculum. ”
https://thepostmillennial.com/ohio-high-school-students-expelled-parents-crt-campaign
If I were paying private school tuition and found out they were teaching that racist garbage to my kid they would not have to expel them. I would also sue to get my money back.
I guarantee the schoolās contract covers the forfeiture of tuition in case of expulsion.
Theyāll have to contest the expulsion first.
Yeah, you’d have to know what the contract actually says (and my reading of our private school contract amounts to ‘refund? LOL no’) . And whatever the actual grounds for expulsion were, since ‘complaining about the curriculum’ can’t be what they actually said were the grounds.
I would be determined to get it back in dollars or flesh, I dont really care which. The point is to torture the evil bastards as much as possible.
At this point, it’s get the kids out now, deal with everything else later. CRT is “fucks people up in a short period of time” evil.
The state is the largest single violator of your rights.
TARDis, if you’re still around, the brine and rub don’t matter for brisket. I think Aaron Franklin only uses course pepper and salt. The key, as Trsh and Sloper mentioned, is low heat over a long time.
I smoke on a charcoal grill and it’s difficult to maintain a consistent 225 for 12-18 hours for a packer. I also don’t want to tend to it overnight. You can cheat by smoking for 3-4 hours and then cooking it overnight in the oven at 200 degrees. When you get up in the morning, crank it to 210 for a couple hours so the brisket hits 205. Cover with aluminum foil and put a little apple juice in the pan before putting in the oven.
I’ve heard most smoke penetrates while the brisket is cold and absorbs less smoke as it heats up. Either way, I think the above method gets you at least 95% as good as smoking the entire time.
I think I see the error of my ways. I’ve been flat out too impatient. Thanks for the points.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/protesters-clash-outside-los-angeles-spa-over-trans-woman-disrobing-n1273051
Demonstrators clashed outside a Koreatown spa in Los Angeles on Saturday after a transgender woman apparently disrobed in an area reserved for women.
A few far-right protesters appeared to be outnumbered by those favoring transgender rights. Police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly in the afternoon, said Officer Frank Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Officers spread out at the scene, and an LAPD helicopter whirled overhead as demonstrators shouted at each other and, in a few cases, exchanged blows, according to social media video from the scene.
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Nicholas Prange said one person who was assaulted sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a medical facility in a private ambulance.
Sounds like assholes all the way around.
Is it wrong to protest a man exposing his cock to random women?
No protesting needed. Just emasculate the shithead. He wants to be a woman anyway.
I doubt this person is actually transgender. “Hey, look at my cock!” isn’t exactly an expression of femininity.
Yep. Heās regular old pervert that needs some social conditioning administered in the old fashioned way.
If my Grandaddy said it once he said it a thousand times: “You can’t stir shit without getting it on you”
Smart people stay away from protests, cancel spa memberships or make formal complaints.
A few far-right protesters appeared to be outnumbered by those favoring transgender rights
No bias here, no sirree.
Misidentify everyone and suppress the fact that one side committed unprovoked violence on the other.
Also suppress the news that the police let it happen.
There’s video of a gang of antifa punks trying to ratpack a kid and some Secret Service looking dudes break it up.
Interesting formulation.
Are they aware that the right they are favoring is the right for some dude to swing his junk around in the ladies’ changing room? I guess only “a few far-right protesters” would object to that.
This will end with the ātranniesā getting disappeared. Then they will have their victimhood.
People are not going to put up with this one for very long.
The sad part is there are some transsexuals out there who do mind their own business that are going to get caught up in the reactionary backlash.
It is always the case in violent uprisings that a lot of the wrong people get hurt and a lot of the people who deserve it dont.
The dam is breaking, on this and on CRT.
It will crush a lot of people in its wake.
And the comments are disabled.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUbXrOoj2J8
I used this site before.
https://www.mexicanplease.com/delicious-carnitas-recipe/
Pretty tasty but a lot of homemade stuffs
Thanks for that. I’m going to check out the vegetarian recipes.
I havent been disappointed by any of it despite someone posting on Mexican food as Patrick.
The homemade enchilada sauce and crema is awesome.
ah, excellent, he has a slow cooker version too. Great stuff on that site!
It is a gem.
I donāt have a specific recipe (I never do) but I like to put citrus juice, olive oil, a bit of chicken stock and the spices (cumin, coriander, oregano, bay leaf, s&p, and chili powder for example) with the pork and slow cook for hours. Then take it out and fork shred on a metal baking sheet, add some more salt and broil it to crispy under the high broil setting. Chop up cilantro and onion, a couple avocados and limes, get your favorite hot sauce out and heat your tortillas and you are set to go.
Imma guess itās too late for this weekend, but my secret weapon for marinading tough cuts of meat is Mango powder (Amchur powder in Indian stores).
That shit is tasty and very much more effective than lime.
There you have it, Glibs. My secret is out.
Pineapple works too.
Nice, Iām gonna order some of that. My secret kitchen ingredient is anchovy paste, I use six or seven tubes of it a year. Itās great in sauces , soups, marinades, salad dressings, etc. Mix it with butter, garlic and parsley and you have an awesome compound butter for steaks. Makes a killer Caesar dressing, in my opinion better than using chovy fillets.
You asked for it!

Me, 9th grade science class: “Given the unfathomable number of stars out there and that our own star is very ordinary it hardly seems possible that other stars dont have planets. If they do, and they do (this was in pre-discovery of such bodies) then there is life out there somewhere. We will probably never see it or know about it, but it’s out there”.
Teacher: “That is not true because…because….JESUS! Now go see the principle!”
I cant fault the guy. He was small minded and relatively uneducated. Not his fault. Even into university the prevailing view was that our solar system was the only one in the universe and we (earth) was the only life. Yeah, and my ass is the center of the universe. Good grief.
Of course there are critters out there. I’ll go to the bottom of the thread and tell my UFO story.

my UFO story
*juvenile snicker*
I think it was Footfall by Niven & Pournelle where the fundies were excited to hear there were aliens on their way to Earth, because either (a) they knew about Jesus, thus proving the Bible true, or (b) they didn’t know about Jesus, which would open up a whole new area of missionary work.
Every time I have a problem with my lawn, I ask myself, ” What would Jesus do?”
Jesus lived in a desert.
Ooooooh, I get it.
Pretty sure Jesus would ask Carlos to mow it and Juan to get the blower out.
Just to be contrarian:
If something can’t be detected, it is indistinguishable from something that does not exist. Therefore, aliens likely do not exist, and as the universe ages aliens become less and les likely to exist.
I don’t know what it is with all the UFO crap lately.
I want to hear “take me to your leader” – or GFTO with that nonsense.

Hey, current and former Glib military servicemen and women: a heartfelt thank you for your service.
I pray the country can become worthy of your sacrifices and those of your brothers who shall not grow old.
Mahalo Hayek. But on Independence Day my thanks are to all Americans who have conserved and extended the ideals of the country. We were founded by an ideal and millions have expended a great energy to expand that ideal to encompass more fully all Americans. Whether your family was here before we became a country, came later, or even are swearing the oath of citizenship tomorrow- we are all equal to try to become our best selves.

To those who wear the same citizenship but seek to shackle free men and women under your socialist ideals- FO and die in a fire. There are more of us than there are of you and if we are ever stirred to action the outcome will not be like you hope.
Amen, sir!
Freedom isnāt just a hallmark card sentiment; it is everything.
In our new world, the man who disobeys and is jailed for it will still be freer than his captors.
Agreed. Kudos to dnleagle for putting it so concisely.
No amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.ā

Oh. I was at the end of the thread.
4th grade…my step brother and I missed the bus. While my mother was preparing to bring us to school we stood in the front yard chit chatting. All of a sudden it got very quiet. A flock of quail burst out of the brush about 100 yards from us and we both had this tense feeling of something about to happen. One or the other of us said ‘what the hell?’ and the other ‘something is coming’. We could just sense it somehow.
*Ding* This thing just blinked into existence. It was roundish and reflective, about 100 feet in diameter and 150 yards away hanging motionless 100 feet or so above the trees. I was fascinated. My step brother was terrified. I started walking towards it but he physically restrained me pleading with me not to go. I mean he was really terrified. I wanted to get a closer look.
It just hung there like it was nailed to the sky for about two minutes and then *Blink* it was just gone. It never moved. Just blinked into existence and then blinked out.
What I find interesting is that he and I discussed what we had seen but not long after he denied it ever happened and still does to this day. I have no idea what it was but I remember that like it happened yesterday.
I have never seen anything like it since and haven’t got a clue what it was.
I had a similar experience once, but not with a ufo. I know exactly what you’re talking about. I have no explanation and I still don’t believe in that stuff, but I saw what I saw, plain as day.
I too saw some inexplicable shit in the sky in the mid 80s. We lived not far from Ft Sill so maybe it was US military? But I donāt think so.
These three objects in a triangle formation moved unlike anything Iāve seen ever since.
And Iām a total skeptic.
I was dating a girl who called herself a witch, back in around 1988 or so. One night she started screaming at maybe 2-3 in the morning. I snapped up and scanned all the doors and windows, nothing. Then I looked at her and she was pointing at the ceiling asking if I saw that too.. I laid back down and watched. First, there was a scene of prehistoric looking people walking. They had men, women, dogs, children and travois like contraptions. They were wearing fur pelts and just an endless line of them. Then, the scene morphed into bright orange and yellow until it morphed into the shape of the bed, with filligree accents in the four corners and a lady in a flowing dress with long flowing hair and piercing eyes. It was flowing and moving. After a while, it went into a really bright version of the color thing, with the orange and yellow. It steadily increased until it was almost intolerable and then, poof! It was back to a plain ole’ ceiling again. We described what we saw to each other, first one detail from me then the next from her. It was plain that we both saw the exact same thing. Don’t know what it was and really can’t completely change my beliefs based on just that, except that this sort of thing is possible. Beyond that, I refuse to speculate.
You have led a most interesting life.
Only weird “supernatural” experience I’ve had:
Back when I was a kid, my mom went to a psychic and took along a tape recorder to record the session. At some point the psychic starts asking “who’s Tina?” and my mom had no idea who she was talking about. Then the psychic works out that “Tina” is my mom’s guardian angel. Goes on like that for a minute or so, then they move on to the next topic.
Later at home my mom plays back the tape. When the psychic first mentions Tina, the sound of a heartbeat starts, gets louder as they keep talking about “Tina”, then quickly fades away when they move on to another topic.
That said, I’m pretty sure these are all simply a product of human memory being shite. Yours is probably something like, you had a dream and told your gf about it and she confirmed that it happened, then you talked about it until it was seared into your memory. Suthenboy’s is probably something similar. Hell, I’m not sure I even heard the tape more than once, if at all, I might have just heard my mom talking about it.
I was gonna pull blackjack’s leg and say “Hey, I was only in the fourth grade. I didnt have access to LSD.”
I resisted the urge to joke, but now apparently I could not resist.
Yeah, that’s totally reasonable. Except that I was totally abstinent for about 6 years at that time. Didn’t touch a drug or a drop of alcohol between 2/82 and 2014 or so.
Did she weigh as much as a duck?
I am not necessarily skeptical but I know when to admit when I dont know something that I dont know. That was my first thought too….something something secret military something? The truth is I just dont know. Like blackjack said, I saw what I saw as plain as day. The sun was just up, it was well lit, crisp and clear, and I used to have a witness.

I am already aware of that. I dont need to see that.
Ugh. I am up way past my bedtime. Neighbors are shooting fireworks and my dogs are going nuts. I probably won’t get any sleep.
The best part is we get it tomorrow night even harder!
The neighbor is a licensed commercial fireworks guy…somehow. Every year he comes around and asks everyone if his fireworks are going to bother them. Of course everyone says no because we get a free fireworks show. Some of those damned things nearly blow our windows out.
Yeah, I grew up watching all of the WW2 history shows.

Sent from my iPhone
me:
Man, how come I’m an asshole? I literally offered to drive 500 miles and bring you a stack of hundred dollar bills in exchange for your car. You seem to think that’s too risky for some odd reason. I’m not an asshole. I just made an offer. Seriously, I’ve been nothing but nice to you. The assumptions you make are what leads you to think that. I’m not making any assumptions of you. I just want to protect myself and obviously the best way for both of us to protect our own interests would be for me to pay cash in hand on the spot. I never asked for anything else.
I think he’s trying to goad me into going off on him. He doesn’t know me very well. I’m perfectly capable of giving someone a piece of my mind, but it serves no purpose here.
If I were you, I wouldn’t answer any more of his e-mails at all, in large part simply out of morbid curiosity to see how much crazier your lack of response makes him.
A sense of urgency, defensiveness, fear…con artists play head games to get you to make rash decisions. I wouldn’t touch that guy with a ten foot pole.
Nah, I really think this guy is just messed up in the head. It’s really bizarre the way he’s acted. He’s chasing away all the people who want to buy his car. I’ve already decided that I ain’t going to take his word for anything and therefore I can’t really buy it. If he was local, I’d still make it happen, but I ain’t driving for 6 hours based on his word that the deal’s going to happen.
Con artist or crazy, it makes no difference. The outcome will be the same.
Uhhhhh, you should stay away from that guy. Trying to force you to be defensive is an old con’s trick.
Find another car.
I agree with Suthen here. There’s something not right going on. It’s the insistence that he’s done it this way hundreds of times before and you’re the one who has the problem.
In my experience people who make a point of claiming that they’re honest aren’t.
Honestly, I think he’s a functional nut case and he’s having extreme separation anxiety. His sister is making him sell it. It’s a weird car and she probably thinks he’s crazy for spending so much money on it, in the first place. I think he got burned on what work he has paid for, personally, but it does have a few nice things going for it and I don’t mean the 8 track or the mismatched wheel center caps.
Does the car drive around and repair itself?
Yeah, find another car. This loon might follow you home and peek in your windows at night…or God knows what he might do.
In order for me to buy it, He’d have to give me his word that he’d have it ready for me 8-10 hours later, and I’d have to believe him. While the first is at least remotely possible, the second is flatly not. So, yeah, I ain’t buying this one.
Never stick it in the crazy!
Jeebus.
Run away. Far away.

I think my cheap ass is going to have to break down and buy a new keyboard. This one has a gremlin in it and fairly often inserts things I didn’t key. I hit a key and it inserts a period or some letter not even close on the keyboard to what I hit. If y’all see that, and I am sure you do, it is not always because I am drinking. Ok, I usually am drinking but that isn’t always the cause.
Blame autocorrect. That’s what I do.
Well fuckity- fuck,fuck,fuck! Just to add to this weekend’s drama, Judi seems to have slipped and broken her forearm at her favorite swimming hole. The place I refuse to visit because it is all shale, pointy, slippery and trippy. She’s at Daughter#1’s house right now and trying to convince herself to drive home. It’s about 25 miles away. I’m urging her to stay put, put a splint on it and go to the ER in the morning. So much for Mt. Assiniboine in a week’s time.
I am very sorry to hear that. Mrs. Suthenboy and I seem to take turns. She breaks a foot, it heals, then I break a rib. Before that I had a dog attack. Before that our heaviest dog (120 lbs) steps on her foot as he goes out the door (He gets excited and feels around with his hind foot until he finds your foot then uses it for a starting block)
This injury stuff gets old very quickly.
I hope she is well soon. What’s with ‘in the morning’? Our ERs are open 24/7. The swelling and pain will be unbearable by morning.
She is out in the countryside and likely still tipsy. You get treated badly if they think that you have been drinking. It’s just a thing up here. Shame about that trip to the Rockies, she and her daughters have been planning and training for it for months. High alpine trek. They’ve all spent hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars on gear. Everything’s up in the air right now so at Autumn’s house she stays.
What a shame. I am sorry to hear that. Looks like you will be doing all of the cooking and driving for a while.
When Mrs. Suthenboy was infirm she complained that she couldn’t do anything and felt bad that I had to do everything.
” I swore for better or worse until the end and I meant it. This is just a chance for me to keep my word and I am glad to do it. Now, get your ass on the couch and put your foot up.”
Cooking will be my biggest impediment. Judi is a Vegan. Fun times ahead.
Become Ron Swanson.
“Those are carrots, they are just made out of bacon.”
She bought a dehydrator last winter so maybe all that food will be put to good use. I don’t know how to shop vegan, hell, I don’t know how to shop anymore.
Sorry Festus & Judi, that sucks. Hopefully it’ll just be bruising or a strain, maybe?
She sent me photos. Bruises don’t look like that. It’s busted.
Aw, sorry. Dominant hand?
Left one so not as bad.
Thanks for your concern, Friends!
Well, I hope it gets to the point of being in the rear view mirror soon. Sorry.

I’m watching Hogan’s Heroes and listening to music instead.
I know Nut thing!
The original movie “Stalag XIII” is very good. That Sgt Schultz was nothing like TV one.*
*The part was played by Sigi Rumann who was better known for his roles in multiple Marx Brothers movies, Ninotchka (another recommended), and most infamously as the grandpa is the movie Heidi (from the Heidi Bowl incident).
I had forgotten about the movie Heidi. My brother and I loved that movie.
Come to think of it the name Heidi was not all that uncommon when I was a kid but I dont know anyone that names their daughters that anymore. Names, like clothing style, come and go.
I grew up with a lot of German immigrants. Heidi was not that uncommon.
John Banner was a longtime radio and screen actor who is now pretty much only remembered as the portly German sgt. Hear him all the time on SXM Radio Classics.
Not that version of Heidi; the NFL preemption version was a made-for-TV movie. And Ruman was dead for a year and a half by the time of the Heidi Game.
And according to IMDb, he played a police officer in the Shirley Temple version of Heidi. Grandpa was played by Jean Hearsholt of honorary Oscar fame.
I’d recommend Ruman as Col. Ehrhardt in “To Be or Not to Be”, which also gives you a chance to see another underrated character actor, Felix Bressart.
Hersholt; lousy tablet keyboard.
I’ve got Six Million Dollar Man here and Shatner is on it and apparently he’s going to communicate with dolphins.
I mean, how could I not watch this?
I remember that episode!
Is Adam West in it? That would make it even more awesomer.
There wasn’t enough scenery available for all three of those guys to chew through it together.
Lol. I would pay good money to see that.
Thought thread: Lee Majors…I remember that Jim Weatherly wrote ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ inspired by Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors romance, an excellent song. Then I get sad thinking about Fawcett and how she died. Then I remember she stole my thunder.
I was a chemistry/biology major but I took enough photography classes that I got the degree. I once had a young woman sit for some nudes for me…my god she had a better body than any models I see on Q-worthy sites. I did exclusively B&W photography but as we were sipping some tea and looking over the images an idea just popped in my head…I dont know where from.
“Hey, what do you think of this idea? Suppose I were to paint you head to toe in tempera paint and then have you roll over some medium, paper, cloth or whatever. Just try to make as much contact as possible with the medium?”
She thought that was the coolest idea ever. So, we did it. We made three prints, one for shows, one for me, one for her.
I hung mine on the wall in my living room as a tapestry. It was funny to watch people when they saw it for the first time. They would look at it for a long time and crinkle their brow but they never would say anything. They knew what it made them think of but they were never sure.
Sadly the knuckleheads that worked for a moving company lost it for me…along with a lot of my prints. Dammit. I still have the negatives for the prints but the tapestry is lost forever.
Anyway, a few years later I stumbled across an article where Fawcett was doing the exact same thing. Hey! That was my idea!
I don’t see the article but there is an image from it

There’s some guy on my Facebook who is usually all generic Jesus and patriotic memes who suddenly started posting images of Native American women and wolves. I don’t know what that means, but I wanted to share that with you all.
Rule 34?
Well, they aren’t erotic. But now it’s just wolves and other animals and sometimes wolf hybrids. Like there’s one o a wolf and a horse. And one of a wolf and lion and then a wolf lion hybrid.
Definitely Rule 34.
Please share the wolf-horse thing.

I’m watching Black Dynamite. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time.
Yep, the Blacksploitation movies from the ’70s are priceless.
Netflix in 2019(?) released “Call me Dynamite” about the making of that film. It starred Edie Murphy and was a loving homage, and it was funny to boot.
I think Iām gonna watch Book of Eli With Denzel fucking Washington.
Great movie about the dystopian future. Gary Oldman too.

Watching some of the antifa videos with their multilayer assaulter, “innocent” protestor shields, and “journalists”. What I wouldn’t give to see everyone of them get wooden shampoos after one of their assaults. The look on their eyes when they realize the kid gloves are off would be priceless.
These commies should thank their lucky stars to be in this country. The sort of one they want to have would have the badly mutilated and tortured remains of their body showing up in the LA River in six months along with their family and friends.
I don’t know what sort of cognitive dissonance it would take to think that you are fighting the system when people sympathetic to you hold nearly all the levers of power in the country. It’s like watching spoiled children throw a tantrum while there boomer parents look on proudly.
See the Bolshevik revolution. These fucksticks are just following the blueprint word for word, letter for letter. Their biggest impediment is an armed populace. That’s why Creepy Joe is going to go all out on gun control.
Do NOT give up your guns. If they truly were useless they wouldn’t want to take them away so badly.
Speaking of guns…now that I’ve got the back cleared out a little bit with trails, I’m jonesing for a spud gun.

0530 Tall Cans of Independence !
I suppose I should have learned my lesson by now that staying up til 1:30 does not mean I still won’t wake up at 6. I guess it will be lots of naps today.
Brisket & AIGS for supper/breakfast
I was awakened by a pack of coyotes in the treeline not forty yards from me yapping and howling at a passing fire truck at 4:25AM. The neighborhood dogs went nuts after the coyotes slinked off for a good ten minutes afterwards.
So yeah, had my coffee a little earlier than I wanted.
Ive been up since 7 pm last night
Trying to decide how to schedule the day.
I don’t have ingredients. They’re having free lunch at work, one of my pieces of equipment is down and I could probably fix it and get good boy points for coming in on a holiday…
But dog.
Are they doing yearly maintenance or are they running full blast?
Always full blast. We have had… two? maybe three warmdowns in the past decade. If we stop, it’s because someone drove a forklift into a 6″ UPW line, and even that only lasts until we can isolate.
We had a guy get squashed into goo by an air handler, and the only people that went offline were the riggers.
We run full blast except for one major holiday a year where the only people working are the facilities and maintenance staff.
If there’s enough slack in capacity to have a shutdown, the sales department isn’t doing their job!
You and Lach could tell some stories together.
Good morning, homey – and rhy and NA and TH and l0b0t and whoever else is upthread that I haven’t seen yet!
Tres, the reunited band survived its set at the benefit yesterday (the first couple songs were rough, and we had a few technical difficulties, but we ended strong – or at least less weak. And I know those lidocaine patches you gave TT helped him a ton!) The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, of course. We didn’t stay long after we played, but the entire event had all the hallmarks of being a huge success. And I now have six bottles of Berry Monster wine in our “wine cellar.” ($2 per bottle were going toward the benefit fund.) So if you want to set down the Tall Cans for a bit and try a Tall Bottle… š
Not long after we got home (after breakfast-for-dinner at IHOP,) we found out that a longtime friend of ours who’s been living with AIDS for years had won a Dobro (resonator) guitar that was being raffled off at the benefit. š

Good morning everyone. Happy Independence Day to my fellow countrymen and a belated Happy Canada Day to our friends in their Home And Native Land.
Festus, I’m sorry to hear about J’s broken wing. I hope she heals up quickly.
We had a fellow come into the store about 10 minutes before closing last night and stuff every single stick of deodorant into a backpack and walk out the store, while we jeered at him. It is so fucking demoralizing that such blatant thievery is tolerated, while an employee drinking a soda, without first paying for it, would be fired on the spot.
Good morning and Happy Independence Day, l0!
Apparently SOMEBODY needed 23 choices of deodorant.
I thought ignoring shoplifting was a California innovation. We’re doing that now too? So stupid.
I can’t even! They cancelled my bloody health insurance but they allow this. Mind you, we have another location 1 1/2 miles down the peninsula that has uniformed security (all the supermarkets here, except mine, have uniformed security). We are losing more to theft than it would cost to pay a guy to throw on some dockers, a collared shirt, and tin badge to stand by the door for 8 – 10 hours.
