    That’s great, thanks STEVE.

  2. Yusef drives a Kia

    I try to stay 2 weeks ahead, better finish next one.

    Late to the show but I was going into work as an office bitch at a small engineering firm in Pasadena, CA on 9/11. First wife was pregnant with our boy and a month or so out from him entering the world.

    Best I can think of, as I listened to a notoriously goofy radio program get serious was ‘this isn’t good.

    By the time I got to work both towers were hit and the whole office was glued to the corporate boardroom TV.

    Needless to say I had wife go to parents house. Thought was, consolidation of family in one spot so we know where everyone is.

    Not more than 1.5 years later I was lacing up boots because I felt I needed to.

    Now 20 years later, I am done with them. I will be hanging up my civilian boots because I do not want to be a part of their plan. I will not go down as ‘taking orders’ fuck them

      Best I can think of, as I listened to a notoriously goofy radio program get serious was ‘this isn’t good.

      I still vividly remember how I found out. I was in homeroom in 7th grade, and they did their morning announcements like usual. Then at the end, the principal always had an inspirational segment, usually with some sort of clickbaity intro line like you’d expect from a shitty preacher. Before that segment, my homeroom teacher said something to the effect of “oh, this is so sad”. I figured she had previewed the segment ahead of time and was making commentary on the story the principal was about to tell. Something extra sappy, no doubt.

      The principal started off with “The world trade center has been struck by two airplanes… *pregnant pause*” Again, I’m thinking we’re in inspirational story mode and this was some interesting fact about the history of those towers. “and the Pentagon has been struck by another plane this morning….” That’s when reality hit.

    • Gender Traitor

      Hmmm…I might just start watching college football…

    • PutridMeat

      As much as I hope for a popular uprising and sincerely hope to fuck Joe Biden one day… I mean in a purely platonic sense, that’s like 2-3 college assholes chanting in each of those. When there’s a wave and a thunderous echoing “FUCK JOE BIDEN” bouncing off the stadium walls and echoing across the country, then I’ll celebrate.
      And I guess I need to start writing so I too can be included in the “Free Cascadia Times” preview edition!

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Shit, your stuff is fun! Welcome contributor!

      • Urthona

        It’s not like Joe Biden is the problem anyway. He has no clue what’s even going on.

      • PutridMeat

        Absolutely. But whole stadiums chanting “Fuck Joe Biden” might reflect a deeper realization that something is seriously wrong with how we see ourselves and our relation to the government. Which is why it won’t happen. How’s that for a BIPOC pill?

      • Urthona

        true dat

      • Chafed

        PM is right.

    • Urthona

      I saw Mets and Yankees fans doing the chant together in a show of rare unity.

      • Chipping Pioneer

        The Jays would appreciate some help from the Mets.

    • rhywun

      While I appreciate the sentiment, the “Fuck ________” chant is seriously played.

  4. IRBE

    I flew on the nite of 9/10 into Chicago. Was on-site at contract manufacturer for an audit. Audit end quickly. Rented a van with team (3 women) and drove back to Cali without stopping (I did almost all the driving); listened to talk radio the whole way. We stank upon arrival. Picked my car up from the parking lot in Oakland. Parking was comp’d. Flew out next month and tire exploded on landing and nearly crashed. Never made it to the jetway. Exited via portable stairs. Everytime, I flew with that team something happened. Never took a flight with them again due to safety reasons and new company rules. We still laugh about it…

    • Chafed

      I’m impressed you laugh about it.

      • IRBE

        I don’t think we laughed about 9/11; ala Leslie Nielsen Naked Gun of sorts. It was just the hysterics that would occur with these 3 asian women traveled together. It became company legend.

  5. Aloysious

    I want that crook, Joe Biden, to come face to hairy penis with our beloved STEVE SMITH.

    Good luck Joe.

    • The Other Kevin

      Biden had really impressed me so far. In only 7 months he’s already a strong candidate for worst president ever. It usually takes a lot longer to be that bad.

      • Urthona

        He’ll never be as bad as wilson or FDR because the dude’s already managed to tank his approval. he’s gonna have some issues in about year two i think and hope.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Someone true because he cannot drum up the Legislative support to pass his piss poor ideas. Thank God for that. However, EOs are being treated as Legislative actions in ever-increasing fashion.

      • Zwak, jack off, all trades

        The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.

      • Aloysious

        Old Pudding Head Biden has a lock on the gold medal for most inept POTUS.

        Worst? I’m sure, given time, it won’t be debatable.

    • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

      STEVE SMITH FUCK JOE BIDEN. AND BY FUCK MEAN…

  6. Yusef drives a Kia

    Joe Biden, 47 years, finally President, and can’t remember who he is, let alone why is there, Welocme to America!

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      or Welcome,

    • Hyperion

      His VP has a goiter, his press secretary has hair plugs, and he has dementia.

    • DEG

      Some attractive ladies there, but just being thin and in a sports bra doesn’t make you fit.

      • Chafed

        It’s a perfectly fine place to start.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I would kick all of them out of my bed (into my shower)

      • DEG

        I’d drag them into my gym and have them start pushing sleds.

      • Lackadaisical

        That’s a weird euphemism.

      • DEG

        I have been getting a bit annoyed at women who look like they’ve never seen the inside of a gym or do physical work flooding the fit girl/fit women/athletic women subreddits.

        Maybe I’m getting spoiled by the number of actually fit women at the gym I go to.

        I get it, not everyone is interesting in powerlifting/weight lifting/etc, but shit, at least look like you’ve put in some work beyond not getting fat and picking out a sports bra.

      • Urthona

        I’m gonna try it anyway.

    So a kinky day?

    • Urthona

      that’s cute although kinda feel bad for the senile dude in the picture.

      • Hyperion

        I cant feel bad for that asshole, it’s not possible, all I feel is contempt. He may be the one frail old dude on the planet I’d punch right in the face and not feel bad at all.

      • blackjack

        He gave me plenty of time to do what he wants me to do, but now his patience has worn thin.

    • Hyperion

      Heh, a ‘Fuck BIden’ chant would have been epic.

  8. Hyperion

    I was just in the (((them))) owned local liquor store for a Sunday night last minute beer grab. No masks, customers or employees. Who’s not afraid of the Delta variant? Me and ((((them))). Refreshing. Heineken 24 oz cans, yummy.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Tall Cans!
      Cheers!

      • Hyperion

        Hell yes!

      Friends don’t let friends drink skunk beer.

    • Hyperion

      The 21st century – from Neocons to Woketards. I think that will be the title of my new book.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        It is a good Title, LOL!

      • Lackadaisical

        I’d pirate it.

      • Plinker762

        Steal This Book

      And the line between satire and reality grows closer and closer. . .

        It’s shitheels stealing from productives all the way down.

  10. Hyperion

    Not Scared Enough?

    If perpetual lockdowns and the new scariest drug ever sweeping the nation doesn’t turn the kids into frightened sheep fast enough, let’s pull out some good old terrorist attacks.

      Young Masked people blowing shit up? so 20c.

      The good ‘ole days when we used to have foreigners to hate. When it was still possible to nip fascism in the bud. When not even my doctor could veto my health choices. To be young again.

    *clenches buttocks*
    *begins writing*

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      That’s what I did, finish the story, Dammit!

  12. Yusef drives a Kia

    Even though my life is fucked up, I keep going, what do I have to lose? Yippee!

  13. Yusef drives a Kia

    All this Time I was finding myself,
    I didn’t know I was lost,

  14. UnCivilServant

    Sheet. I should finish “Slaves of Baranga.” It’s mostly done, and half is already up as a draft on glibs. It’s my story inspired by pulp cover art. And having read the contents of the magazines since starting, would probably fit between those pages.

    I’m wondering if I should have it just skip forward in the story between installments with a “previously on” blurb covering what happened in the “missing issues” where the other chapters were serialized. Or would you guys find that too annoying?

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Serials! go back and adjust the tale if need be but do it!

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Maybe we’ll meet up again someday,
      So I raise my glass to you!

  15. creech

    I wonder how long Biden’s physical and mental condition can be glossed over? Trump had a complete physical in Jan. 2018, one year after being sworn in. Among the tests was a standard cognitive test on which Trump got a perfect score. Maybe the media should start questioning him soon about if and when he intends to get a physical? Then, if he gets tested, it needs to be released. Madam President could be here before Jan. 6, 2023; if not until after that date she could fill Biden’s remaining term and be eligible for two terms of her own (which is scary, but improbable?).

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Bad and worse, what else can happen?

    • Urthona

      oh yes. really looking forward to kamala

    • rhywun

      improbable

      I don’t think even the Dems are clever enough to fortify her to the top of a single national election let alone two.

      • Chafed

        Team Red finds a way to run FrankenHitlerCula?

    • straffinrun

      How do we know Trump scored a perfect score other than they told us so? I don’t trust a single thing coming out of any administration, bureaucracy, press secretary or spokesman.

      • Urthona

        It’s basically a pass/fail system anyway.

      • straffinrun

        Got a pulse? He’s good.

      • Lackadaisical

        Not bad, as far as presidents go.

    https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/sep/12/the-guardian-view-on-xi-jinpings-china-rectification-not-revolution

    China’s turn towards increased repression has accelerated under him. The crackdown in familiar realms – on civil society, religion, academia, the defence of Hong Kong’s autonomy and minorities, especially Uyghurs – went further and faster than anyone expected. Now it is expanding into areas that the party had long ago retreated from. Recent weeks have seen a spate of attacks on everything from big tech firms to actors and pop stars, to private tutoring. Children will be allowed to spend just three hours a week on online gaming. Ride-hailing services are under pressure. Regulators have ordered broadcasters to shun talent shows and “sissy men”. And a key party committee announced that China needed to regulate “excessively high incomes” to ensure “common prosperity” – suggesting a substantial turn towards redistribution.

      This is rich coming from the Grauniad. “But we push kinder, gentler Communism! It’s not supposed to turn into this!”

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        It never wants to be bad, Communism, 101

      • Winston

        Seeming them say that wealth redistribution is bad is something else…

    • Gustave Lytton

      went further and faster than anyone expected

      Yeah, who could have seen it coming??

    • trshmnstr the terrible

      Mark me down as somebody who simultaneously believes that China is a highly manipulative, horrible trade partner and also that the problem isn’t China. We could shift 100% over to India tomorrow, and the problem still exists. What problem? That it’s cheaper to hire 10 people, most of them halfway around the world, to manufacture something, pack it onto a boat, ship it back halfway around the world, receive it at port, distribute it across the country, store it in massive warehouses, and deliver it to your front door than to hire a single american to manufacture the same thing and sell it in a boutique next town over. US employment laws and the entire employment systems (looking at you, employer provided health insurance) are the root cause of a lot of the issues we’re now encountering in global trade.

      • Plinker762

        Plus zoning and other business regulations here. I can’t buy a piece of light industrial property and put up a building without having an approved landscape plan, paved parking with drainage swales, side walks and curbing plus whatever else the planning department thinks I need to provide.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        ^^ This. Also add in various regulatory requirements for the products themselves, the multiplicative effect of the same issues impacting all materials suppliers, the regulatory burden of managing the business, licensing, insurance, etc. All of that makes the US an uncompetitive market. The only options for US manufacturing are “assembled in USA” like the car companies or differentiation from the imports (usually on quality).

  17. Winston

    The reason I like to bring up the “free trade will liberate China” because it a clear example of the advocates of freedom being completely wrong. This exact sort of stupidity is one reason why things are so bad right now.

    • kinnath

      You have made this same point on so many occasions.

      The only reason to keep making it is to be a dick.

      • Ozymandias

        Or… what kinnath said.
        LOL
        (IFL this place.)

      • Winston

        Well I’m not convinced libertarians have really owned up to being completely wrong and why they believed in something so wrong despite the clear evidence.

        And we aren’t going to get out of this current shotshow by being “nice”.

      • Ozymandias

        So, let me get this straight, Winston – it’s the libertarians’ fault for where we’re at??
        That’s your conclusion?!?
        Holy shit, bro. Whatever you’re smoking, I’ve GOTTA try.
        I mean, just wow. That’s some “hot take” right there.

      • straffinrun

        To be fair, he said they were wrong , not they are responsible. His argument is with someone and I don’t feel like arguing on that someone’s behalf. It’s a ridiculous thing Winston is doing.

      • straffinrun

        After reading his initial comment again, he may be saying libertarian philosophy is responsible. ?‍♂️ Hard to tell who Winston is even talking about.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        It’s a ridiculous thing Winston is doing.

        It’s interesting to me that out of all the annoying shitposting schticks on this site, Winston’s is the one that garners the most hate.

      • straffinrun

        Owning Cato and owning the libtards. Both are annoying.

      • Ozymandias

        I certainly don’t hate it. As I noted, I’d just like to hear something else.
        The Bro’s schtick is funny to me, but that one really grates on some people. *Shrug* He adds substantively, so it’s obvious it’s a schtick.
        Q’s titty links also bother some folks. (For me, meh). But Q adds a lot here.
        Winston’s obviously got enough IQ points to add substantively to the conversation, but seems intent on simply saying the same thing over and over (and over…).
        It’s intellectually lazy and hasn’t added anything after the first few hundred times. I’d like to hear something more. Now at least I know that the source of his irritation is that he feels libertarians got lazy and lost the battle of ideas. Ima disagree with that, but at least I know now what’s up his ass.
        Or, I could just hit mute – but I really would like to see something more. But… who gives a shit what I want anyway? I guess he can keep shitposting if it makes him feel better.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Winston’s obviously got enough IQ points to add substantively to the conversation, but seems intent on simply saying the same thing over and over (and over…).
        It’s intellectually lazy and hasn’t added anything after the first few hundred times. I’d like to hear something more.

        I don’t disagree. I’d prefer a less abrasive, more intelligent engagement on the topics, especially since his point of view is actually controversial and may result in different sides forming. I really think that’s the difference. If he were posting obviously stupid articles from Slate or HuffPo or wherever focused on a single hobby horse and he added a line of snark akin to what he does now, I don’t think anybody would even notice his pattern. It’s the fact that he’s needling the cosmos that makes it different. There’s a different burden required to go after libertarians, even ones that aren’t strongly represented here.

        I’m not saying anything’s wrong with requiring a higher burden to go after cosmos. Ethos, pathos, logos, and all that. However, I just like pointing out, from a people watching position, the shit Winston gets seems disproportionate. Bro is the only other person who gets so much shit, and that’s on purpose. I don’t even think I rank Winston’s “democratizing China through trade” schtick in my top 5 most annoying list.

        I also think you make a good point about Winston not engaging outside the schtick. Everybody else does. How much this changes people’s perception, I don’t know. It definitely impacts my opinion. However, I get the autism vibe, so I try not to be too harsh. I’ve had plenty of friends and acquaintances on the spectrum who are one track minds and go very light on the pleasantries. Can’t fault them for having a brain that communicates differently from mine.

      • straffinrun

        Winston doesn’t think we can have trade with China because he’s Tom Cruise’s brother and thinks everything costs $100?

      • Winston

        No I just think that it is an example of the complacency wrought by the collapse of the USSR and now we are seeing that the battle of ideas is very much not over.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        the battle of ideas is very much not over

        Look at the optimist over here! The battle of ideas is over. It ended sometime during Obama’s second term, IMO. The battle of ideas is over when the mechanisms of the state (whether they be bureaucratic, corporate, or other) are weaponized against the ideas supposedly battling.

        The battle was over when disparate impact was rebranded as wokeness and was accepted as gospel truth by corporate america and the government schools. The battle was over when they locked us in our houses and threw away the key despite the evidence supporting much more targeted outreach. The battle was over when the IRS, the national banks, the tech companies, and Big Non-Profit were weaponized against those who held views that were well within the mainstream earlier this century. The battle was over when balancing the budget became a joke and MMT was accepted as gospel. The battle was over when anthropogenic CO2-driven climate change was accepted as gospel.

      • Plinker762

        When a federal administration labels the Constitution “Harmful Content” and those that express support for the Constitution are labelled “Extremists” who need to be purged from the government, you know the true nature of the state.

      • Winston

        Thanks for that blackpill…

      • kinnath

        You’ve made the point many times. You’ve either changed peoples minds. Or you haven’t.

        Continuing to harp on this is counter-productive. You current style is just drive-by shit posting.

        Take Ozy’s advice. Write an article. People will treat is seriously and respond to it.

      Not trying to pick on you, Winston. I know you’re venting to people who understand rather than arguing with the commies.
      But you’ve got a lot larger brain than this schtick. Write something longer for us – an essay on historically where it went adrift.
      Write a series of short essays on critical turning points, alt-histories, etc.
      I’m being serious. You obviously are well-read and have a lot to offer. Give us more.

      • Lackadaisical

        I’d really love to hear where the China will liberalize from trade idea originated. I have a weird desire to see the source of this idea because I distinctly remember my father talking about this like 20 years ago and thinking it was a dumb idea on it’s face. Which I rarely thought about things my dad said.

        Maybe the idea came from commies who had infiltrated the US.

      • Winston

        This was written mere months after Tiananmen Square massacre:

        https://fee.org/articles/chinas-great-leap-backward/

        The Chinese economy is proving that political power can defeat even the most spectacular advances of an economy based on free market principles. In 1988, Milton Friedman warned then Party Secretary Zhao that China would not continue to succeed economically if it attempted to organize its economy from the top down. He stressed to Zhao that government is organized from the top down, while the free market is organized from the bottom up.[10]

      • Winston

        Some analysts base their positive projections regarding Chinese modernization on the presumption that Deng Xiaoping and his colleagues are moving China away from socialist central planning and toward something that looks like a market economy. The conclusion of these analysts is that if it looks like capitalism it will surely work well for the Chinese, and all that is really required to transform a socialist, centrally planned less developed country is the introduction of a system of reliably price-cued transactions among entities that look like autonomous producing and consuming units . . . . It is inconsistent with almost everything we know about the requirements for and the course of economic development . . . . Whether or not China can modernize economically is an interesting and debatable question. But the answer is certainly not as simple as Deng Xiaoping and his colleagues turning a “capitalist” face to the outside world.[11]

        There were some skeptics even then…

    • Loveconstitution1789

      Free trade requires all parties to abide by the same basic rules whatever those might be set as.

      China steals IP from its trading partners and I guarantee that is against one of those basic rules.

      • Plinker762

        There is no “Free Trade” with the CCP running the show over there.

    • Loveconstitution1789

      The other thing Winston is that different political ideologies wanted trade with Communist China for different reasons.

      Libertarians are a tiny minority and have no real political power, so not sure how they can be blamed for influencing real events like trade with china since the 1970s. I think anyone who advocates unrestricted trade with a nation that wants to destroy you and steals from you is a fool.

      Like nation building thru military force, nation building thru “free” trade is unproven and likely doesnt work. I cant think of a single success that led to a free nation like America.

    I already had the Commie Flu, and I’m immune as fuck, but I have a Vax card, want one?

    • rhywun

      Not really.

      For now, my resistance will simply consist of not complying. Which means I will not attempt to participate in any activity that is currently barred to me. My small voice is not going to be heard. Maybe there is a greater chance of the voices of all the wrecked businesses being heard over mine, I don’t know.

      This could all change on a dime, of course, if my company decides I am not worth the hassle of employing any more. That may be when shit gets real.

    I wonder what is Tulip’s recipe?

    I’ve spent the last few weekends on getting Hollandaise sauce right.

    Do I recall correctly that she’s done an article in the past on the five mother sauces?

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      look it up, we have archives ya know,

      • Chipping Pioneer

        I am corrected. It was a KK and Tulip tag team.

        How was fishing?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Boring but fun, a chiilax time,

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      3 egg yolks
      1 stick of butter
      squirt of lemon juice
      dash of paprika

      Melt butter in the microwave. Heat it but don’t let it get too hot (boiling)

      Put egg yolks into blender and beat until uniform (probably 10 seconds)

      On blender low speed add warm butter to eggs. Sauce should form in, like, 10-15 seconds. Add lemon juice.

      Easy, peasy.

    I would not want to be the parent of one or more members of whatever we are turning this generation of kids into.

    “Kids are resilient,” insist the world’s least resilient adults. Sure, kids may be fine after years of being treated like disease vectors, rather than human beings. Maybe they’ll someday be OK. Or maybe they’ll be severely damaged, leaving them utterly stunted and incapable of fulfilling their natures as social animals. We’ll see!

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      ” years of being treated like disease vectors,” are you kidding me? Kids are total disease vectors, the little Shits,

      • rhywun

        Yes, but we did not historically put them in bubbles and shit over it.

        We had Chickenpox parties as a kid, it was fun!

      • Plinker762

        Last winter one of the high school sports teams over in Idaho had a CCPV party when one kid had it and the school wouldn’t let them play.

    • one true athena

      Yeah, Karol’s been right on about kids the whole time. And the first line there is the one that pisses me off the most – here are (mostly) women, who are neurotic people in therapy before covid, saying shit like ‘Kids are resilient” just because they don’t complain if you force them to wear a snotty cloth on their face for hours a day. Seven year olds don’t complain when the parent beats the shit out of them either, that doesn’t make them “resilient”. It’s so infuriating.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Well said, kids are just trying to survive, what Mom and Dad tell them is Gosplel to a certain age,

    https://babylonbee.com/news/in-new-matrix-movie-neo-to-tell-humans-to-stay-home-stay-safe-in-their-pods

    So, of course, the movie’s message is very out of step with American culture in 2021. To that end, the upcoming entry in the franchise, The Matrix Resurrections, will have Neo just telling all the humans to stay home and stay safe in their pods.

    “Alright, listen up, everybody,” Neo says after exiting the Matrix. “The important thing here is your health and safety. We’re all just going to stay home and stay safe in these nice, comfortable pods. It’s much less dangerous than being free in the real world.”

    It will be interesting to see how the Matrix will go from “freedom is the most important” to “shut up and the eat the bugs peasants.” No way they will go off of Hollywood’s agenda…

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      When I saw it was by the crazier of the two Wachowskis, I pretty much knew it was going to suck. Neo’s going to go trans or something like that.

    I received a phone call from some MA public health office on Sunday. I wasted 30 minutes of my life answering all sorts of intrusive personal questions. The only reward was telling them that I would “definitely not” take any C-19 vaccine. The person on the line still sounded shocked about this revelation despite having heard about my health, education, income, smoking, drinking, drug use, sexual orientation, etc.

    Hey bitches!!

    Good morning.

    Excellent article on Texas and California

    https://lawliberty.org/book-review/california-and-texas-the-blue-and-the-red/

    Once a state reaches a certain degree of political uniformity, it tends to repel those who disagree and attract fellow adherents, reinforcing its identity, but California only recently attained this monolithic status.

      Someone’s feeling saucy this AM, eh?

      /Heads off to read article….

        Saucy AF.

        I’m in this wonderland wherein I’ve tendered my resignation but am still working for two weeks, waiting for financial institutions to release funds from an investment account so I can buy a new house outright.

        I’m feeling a little cocky and very empowered to speak my mind.

      • Tres Cool

        When I feel that way, I generally end up blaming alcohol.

        You go gurl woman! Lay the smack down.

        Did you have any luck with spread you were looking at? I want to sell my house, but we can’t find a suitable replacement in our price range.

        Thanks!

        The properties in Pahrump are getting snapped up ridiculously quick. I’ve ceased looking until I have the cash in hand.

      More broadly, I am not convinced that the “future of America” is defined by the competing archetypes of California versus Texas. There are other red states and other blue states. Yes, there is polarization in American politics, but it is not limited to Texas and California. The partisan divide is evident across the country. All 50 states are participating in the “laboratory of democracy,” and we can learn from all their experiences. Intensively studying only two peculiarly unique states to figure out the causes of and solution to a national problem is like the drunk searching for his car keys under the street light, not because that is where he lost them, but because the light is better. Answers, like car keys, won’t be

    Mornin’ Glubbies! Really wrenching tales over the weekend. Hope that everyone has better times ahead. Just found out that ne’er do-well Step-son has dug himself into yet another shit pit. Dealing drugs and he claims that he was ripped off and needs us to bail him out. I surmise that he dipped into his own stash. It’s not a huge amount but I don’t want to pay for his addiction. Something tells me that our joint bank account will be drained to the tune of $800 by Tuesday. That slug is gonna end up like my cousin Dean, hands slathered in butter and thrown from a high-rise. Fuck.

        So the poor fuck couldn’t grasp the railing on his way out. 15 floors. It’s not really funny, Tres.

      • Tres Cool

        It’s tragic, no doubt. I just didnt think about greasing someone’s hands. To me, zip-ties, duct-tape, or some other form of restraint would be more practical.

        Sorry you had to deal with that.

      • hayeksplosives

        I’m glad I didn’t understand the butter reference.

        So sad, avoidable, and terrifying.

    • hayeksplosives

      Shit.

      That sucks. There’s really very little you can do about it, except be completely willing and open if he comes back, no judgment.

      Then Jesus told them this parable:

      “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

      I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.>/blockquote>

      My stepson also was a lost sheep, and cruel verbally to my husband, his father. I told the father to tell the son, “Even though you hate me right now, if you come to my house someday, you don’t have to apologize or explain. Just come back and hug me.”

      Years later it happened. A 3 minute hug with no words.

      Plant the seed in his brain; it will grow.

        A new hire told me that last week, she buried her brother who had just moved to Atlanta. He was going to be the victim of a robbery, and fought back- seems it didnt end well. Her baby-daddy had been sent to prison (I didnt ask why) for 30 years, got parole after 7, and was home a month before someone killed him. The day of her interview, she came in directly from court, where she beat the case on w/e she was charged with (again, didnt ask). As she was telling me this, she said “I might start crying. I cried in the interview.” I told her, “I may start crying just from hearing all of this”.

      A couple weeks ago, one of the employees (in his early 30s) stood-up from bending over, and complained about his back. I added, “you’re a kid- wait till you’re my age”. He said, “you mean it only gets worse?”. I told him, “once you break 50, your life is nothing but Tylenol and boner pills”.

    On to lighthearted matters, in the course of prepping my Cali house for sale, I’m getting a little work done.

    One part of that was laying down some “decomposed granite” behind the outdoor kitchen (grill, fridge, sink built into a nice counterspace). The granite has a slight pink tone to it.

    Today my indoor/outdoor cat came in and is completely dyed pink. His fur is black on top and what used to be white on bottom. Now he is black and pink. It’s hilarious to me.
