Even the trees must dance.
Yep, the ol’ calendar has clicked around to Saturday again. I’d say in general, it’s been a shitty week in the country, and survey says it’s only going to get worse, so let’s wallow in some links!
No wallowing here. File this in the “bitchin!” category.
Can’t we just give them their nukes back and forget about it?
Plenty of time left for cranking the hog.

I know where the Exton Drive-In used to be.
At the risk of doxing myself, for a little while during my undergrad I used to work at a factory in West Chester, PA. I drove through Exton, not far from the Exton Drive-In, to get to the factory.
This is my favorite Hooters song.
That’s really cool. It is a cool video. Even cooler if, like you, you’ve been there.
I’ve never actually been in the Exton Drive-In.
I’ve been in Exton.
The first time I ever went through a DUI checkpoint was in Exton, PA. I don’t remember if it was the State Police or the Exton Police running the checkpoint. I had just gotten out of work from the factory and just wanted to get back to where I was staying (my parents’ place). When the cop asked if I had anything to drink, I said, “Just some water before I left work.” He seemed a bit pissed. He pretty quickly waved me through.
One of those bands that could have used a little more attention. They could sure write a tune.
I’ve always liked “All you Zombies“
I haven’t clicked any of these links but I know what that is & I love that song. ?

IFL that song – strong memory associations

The Bengals v Titans game has been okay. I am saving my time for the GB tonight. It might be 7 degrees at kickoff.
Harvest some lettuce and near the last of my tangerines in the tree. But the apple bananas might ripen this week.
Looks to be a bit over 100 on the stalk. Anybody want to assist me?
I would love to!
As a card carrying member of the Procrastinators Club (I would be if I could get around to joining), I predict the Bengals will beat the Titans by a score of 19 to 16 on a last second field goal despite 9 sacks of Joe Burrow.
You are utterly prescient.

Have some ginned up nonspecific paranoia
The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis circulated multiple situational reports this week evaluating the potential for violence surrounding the March for Life and Defeat the Mandates, as well as another, unconfirmed Proud Boys event being discussed on social media. The DHS reports obtained by Yahoo News, which were marked unclassified, law enforcement sensitive and “for official use only,” include details about a number of security preparations in place ahead of this weekend’s events, including plans for multiple coordination calls between federal and local law enforcement partners leading up to and during the events.
“The events come during a time of heightened threat, and domestic violent extremists (DVEs) have used narratives associated with pro- and anti-abortion rights or perceived government overreach surrounding the COVID-19 mitigation efforts as justification to promote or commit violence,” reads a report issued by the DHS intelligence office on Jan. 19. The report also mentions concerns expressed by local authorities that Defeat the Mandates and the March for Life may attract counterprotesters, “which historically has led to violence at similar events,” but states that the DHS intelligence office “currently lacks information on specific or credible threats emanating from these events.”
——-
The report references comments made by one user who claimed they were “at J6,” in reference to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, and advised attendees at the anti-mandate protest: “If shit gets weird…get weird back. Ain’t no reason to give anyone up to the DC mafia. I’d rather be called a terrorist than doing nothing.” According to the DHS Intelligence office, users in the Defeat the Mandate’s official public instant messaging channel chat claimed there are over 100,000 registered attendees for the event.
“The Department of Homeland Security does not have information indicating any specific, credible threats related to the events occurring tomorrow and this weekend in the National Capital Region,” a DHS spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. “However, as noted in the current National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin, the United States is in a period of heightened threat. Domestic violent extremists (DVEs) and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists or other malign foreign influences continue to pose a threat to the homeland.”
We have no real reason to expect violence, but those people are all traitors to the Father- errrr Homeland., and there is nothing they wouldn’t stoop to in order to destroy DEMOCRACY!
Sigh, what kind of mayhem is the FBI ginning up now? It’s gonna have to be more spectacular than “J6” to get that bill which protects democracy over the hurdle this time.
The federal govt is unconstitutionally and illegally snooping on American phone calls, emails, and internet activity. They know that Americans are talking about how Civil War 2.0 is coming to a head where violence will likely be the only way to get rid of their treasonous bureaucrats.
“If shit gets weird…get weird back. Ain’t no reason to give anyone up to the DC mafia. I’d rather be called a terrorist than doing nothing.”
What do you wager this came from a Fed?
Yeah, at this point I just assume any statement by any intelligence agency is a bald faced lie if not right outi pushing a threat conjured up by themselves.
…right outi was my nickname during summer camp.
The IOC has been sticking it up the world’s ass for a long time.
That was true for Christ in the Desert until March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic forced the monks to close their doors to the outside world. For nearly two years now, guests have been prohibited from staying at the monastery, leaving the monks in a position they have never faced before.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say a man made the decision to lock the doors.

Today I went to a Costco located in the occupied zone for the first time since September. A month ago Nashua reintroduced the mask mandate but the desire to pay no sales tax on a new laptop was strong. The woman checking membership at the entrance asked us if we had masks, we ignored her, she yelled “mask mandate” but did nothing afterwards. Costco employees inside didn’t care about masks and we had to deal with a whole bunch of them before getting the laptop.
Many places in Nashua do not enforce. I returned not too long ago from Ye Olde Brewpub (not its actual name). The staff wears masks, but the required signs aren’t up and the staff don’t care if customers wear masks. I did not wear a mask. The staff did not care.
More or less same experience here in the people’s Republic of new York (back for a quick visit to settle my affairs).
Went to 3 different places that ‘must’ enforce the rules, nothing else happened, and I want the only one.
So three months later FBI is releasing a report that Laundrie claimed responsibility. Why wouldn’t this have come out then? Why the wait? Considering the FBI isn’t exactly a well of credibility.
Because Nephilium is guilty of having a life, yet again, I will guest host the GlibZoom happy hour, ppl got shit to say, my personal reinterpretation of Falling in Love Again, starting at at 20:00 ET and continuing until the last Glib can maintain an interweb connection.

How are things in Idaho?
Great, Tundra! I like that the German government sent him a stern letter.
A real man would wipe his ass with it!
You could NEVER do that in Minnesoda.
There would be some asshole driving the speed limit in the fast lane. Man, I hate those assholes.
At least they’re driving the speed limit?
Ducks down
German drivers are VERY aware of the lane etiquette, for obvious reasons.
Then blow by them on the right. What is everyone’s hang-up with this?
It’s illegal some places (Germany, for example), but I’ve gotten over it. I got to this life’s-too-short point and now just blow by everyone everywhere including the occasional shoulder dive on country interstate. I am not going to live long enough to see a better world, and I am tired of the fuckings the current one can hand out, so, if they ditch etiquette, fine by me: we understand each other.
Driving is no different from anything else: there is not enough time left to suffer fools, to argue with those who will never understand, to be irritated by the optional.
The Asshole Trucker Move (as you approach two trucks the one behind pulls out to pass. Blocks the left lane for many miles. Much hilarity.) is becoming my Final Straw. Followed two assholes up and down hills for ten miles approaching Albuquerque. Next time, it’s passing on the shoulder with a middle finger extended. Fuck those assholes.
^ this guy get it ^
YES
Well, that’s all well and good. But you still haven’t explained why passing on the right is so dangerous. Why is someone a fool just because they don’t duck back into the right lane at the “proper” time? I’ve never understood this.
My favorite is the trucks with the “Do not pass on right” stickers. Hey asshole, don’t hang out in the left side lanes then.
If there is no paradigm and no etiquette, then nothing matters.
But if staying right and passing left are a convention, then you should presume that the errant driver wants to, is entitled to, move back over right. Again, back when the governors were writing up those little books to pass out sophomore year, cars didn’t have mirrors on the right……imagine in the 0.824MPH pass trying to crane around and figure out if someone is inside your right quarterpanel.
The problem, of course, is I don’t own muh roads and ban people who don’t drive by Don’s Rules. As with anything else the gubbermint does, a suboptimal steaming pile is produced where half the money would have produced competence in the private sector.
If we drive on the right, enter and exit on the right, then the right hand land is the one that tends to be encumbered and the left is the one with any hope of producing speed. In my world everyone can go as fast as they wish: even I will be out of your way by before you get to me. But this is another nice thing we just can’t have.
I guess I’m saying it shouldn’t be a convention. My guess is it causes a lot of undue road rage.
And old guys who remember the olden days when cars didn’t have passenger mirrors* also have no bearing on today. I mean, we all wish the government followed the Constitution, too.
*I’m old enough to have owned vehicle or two that didn’t have passenger mirrors.
My wife early 90’s civic didn’t have a passenger mirror.
I’m not striking a pose; I’ve already acknowledged that I don’t have time to wait for the world to make sense. It was a convention; the convention has been abandoned; I too have give up on it.
But the reason you drive on the right is an American convention that is 200 years old, older than rear view mirrors and cars entirely. I mean, if there’s not room to pass on the right, you can always get British on it and dive into oncoming traffic, fuck it all to hell…..whatever works!
I have and I will pass on the right. It’s the damned people that drive the speed limit in both the left and the right lanes that piss me off. DONT BOX ME IN!
I have people to do and things to see! Get out my fuckin’ way!
Gonna start passing on the shoulders and then deploy my James Bond caltrops. Have fun changing all 4 of those punctured tires in the dead of Minnesoda winter you inconsiderate twat!
/actually since both Minnieapolice and St. Pole have both instituted mask and proof of VAX mandates, I have no reason to drive I35.
The whirlled sucks, I am going to become a hermit, write a manifesto, and send pipe bombs through the mail to people I dislike.
I have returned to full, feral NJ driving tactics. Fuck everyone.
As Don said, it is illegal in some places.
I will do blow past them on the right, but it pisses me off that I have to do so, doubly so if they start racing me as I do it.
I adopted rechts fahren after reading serious driving editors in Road & Track in the late seventies. It’s natural and easy for me to stay right. I remember when you had to special order a right door mirror on a car and bought a truck as late as 1994 that didn’t have one (or power steering or power brakes, but that’s just me).
Another thing about the different behaviors: none of the marginal strugglefests that people put themselves through make a damn. Great, you’re “passing” because you’re driving 0.824 MPH faster than this other guy; makes total sense. Then you’re going to fuck around at the gas station and piss away more time than you could ever make up on the road. Zig left, zig right: that ain’t the magic: it’s hitting the holes when they’re there that matters; the rest of the time you can just unwind and wait; take it from a guy who drives as hard as is humanly possible. I guess I drive a car basically like most guys drive motorcycles: trying not to get killed while I wait for something to happen….but since I don’t have that power-to-weight ratio and spent my childhood not trying to upon up the secondaries on the carb any more often than I could afford, I’m all about smooth. Indeed, if I touch my brakes more than once an hour on the highway I count it as failure to perceive, failure to manage, failure to be smooth.
I don’t pass on the right, I drive right. If you got passed and you’re in the left, you’re in the wrong, not me. That’s my point of view. Also, I will shoulder roll if approaching a rolling roadblock. Then I always make sure it’s the left shoulder and front left fender of the asshole in the left lane either better slow down or he’s getting brushed as I pass. I have yet to meet someone who hasn’t understood this in practice.
It’s really that simple. People who insist on passing only on the left are idiots. There, I said it.
Once upon a time in MN on 35E NB just north of St.Paul on a sleepy Sunday morn, a young MrOtto (not yet DrOtto) was speeding next to a friend on his crotch rocket in the neighborhood of 135mph. We took the cloverleaf to highway 36 WB and as we were exiting Rice street (down to speed limitish at this time) I espied a MN state trooper who came bounding through the median towards us. Long and short of it, I hate cell phones and snitches with equal abandon, but the worst person in the world is a left lane straggler asshole snitch with a cell phone.
In every state there is a white sign that says “slower traffic move right”. That is literally a mandated rule of the road like a speed limit which is also on a white sign. That doesnt mean that traffic must follow the sped limit or you can legally block them in the fast lane as a citizen enforcer. It also illegal in all/most states to impede traffic. Just move to lanes to your right if traffic is faster tha you.
White signs are mandatory
Yellow signs are cautionary or advisory
If you are driving slower than me I flash my lights like a European. If that doesnt give you a clue, the I pass in right lanes. Then if your a citizen enforcer, I pass on the right shoulder. If you an asshole who wants to cause a traffic accident because I can out drive you, then I pull in front of you and slam on the brakes without ever letting tou slam into my tailgate.
I drove in Puerto Rico. For any of you unfamiliar with PR driving, traffic signals are suggestions and passing on the shoulder is expected. I was also taught emergency vehicle operating by the secret service, so if you cant J-turn GTFO trying to pull some citizen enforcer stupid driving.
This has been a pretty good defensive game. Muy enjoyable.

Well, now I know whom the Chiefs are playing next week.
Augusta National?
Haven’t you heard yet, Mo? A Bills victory is predetermined. Josh Allen is the greatest quarterback in the sport’s history. Hell, Reid and Mahomes is third rate coach/qb combo at best. Even the Bengals who’ve won maybe right games prior to this year are clearly the better team…*time to hope the Royals aren’t garbage cuz the Chiefs are already toast.
*Been watching national sports media this week for some stupid ass reason.

Just ran across this quote from St. Heinlein back in 1939
There are but two ways of forming an opinion in science. One is the scientific method; the other, the scholastic. One can judge from experiment, or one can blindly accept authority. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all important and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything and facts are junked when they do not fit theory laid down by authority.
Seems oddly prescient.
Or there’s nothing new under the sun.

NFL slogans: “End racism”
Hobbit: “You first”
I find the entire exercise intrinsically funny.
Imagine if you will: A person(presumably white) going their entire life feeling perfectly comfortable with being a racist until one day stumbling across the fact that racism is generally frowned upon in American society. Then later that week clicking the TV over to watch their favorite sport and seeing the words END RACISM painted outside the end zone and thinking to themselves: “Oh, I guess I never thought of that before…Huh. The people I idolize don’t like my views on race relations. Maybe I should revisit my beliefs on the subject.”
The very thought of that happening in real life makes me giggle.
The propaganda is so incessant and so very false. It’s getting very disturbing.
There is a college around here that runs numerous commercials with a diverse chick claiming they’re special because they let people in “regardless of how they look”. AYFKM? Have you not paid any attention at all to how college admissions have worked for the past forty years or so?
Damn, girl.
Bunny-boiler eyes notwithstanding.

Not wrong though.
My back has been jerked up lately. So I was digging around in stacks of unpacked moving bins for my stash of Wii discs today and after moving one of the bins to get at another one below it, my back screams out in agony. And remains there hours later.
I think it’s a sign that I am officially too old for this shit.
Sorry.
I’m self-medicating. Should be good in an hour or two. *hic*
My back is good right now.
But sometimes the least little thing and I’m stuck: can’t get off the coach or walk upright.
I don’t want to know.
I have a glaucoma screening test Friday.
Yikes. Good luck.
I have a feeling I’ll still be playing Legend of Zelda with trifocals and a back brace.
I’ve had tri-focals for 40 years, I had trouble seeing the speedometer with bifocal and out to about 6 feet. Now the problem is that the distance is double vision, just got these glasses, much better and thicker than the previous ones but closing one eye helps.
I’ve been through that before. Good luck.
Thanks guys. First eye exam from a new eye doc, after seeing the last one for close to forty years. Reading glasses to go with the coke bottles. And finding enough to schedule follow up testing.
Have been noticing a handful of minor things telling me I’m not 22 anymore.
I’m a skinny guy and I think around a decade younger but I suffer frequent lower back problems as well due to being a dumb fuck who still does a lot of heavy lifting/manual labor. A word from the wise: Stretching after your morning shit/shave/shower followed by one before dinner will work wonders.
Sometimes after a particularly rough day at work I’ll lay spread eagle on the floor for an hour to let my spine and right hip realign.
Back pain is a new thing to me. I wonder if it’s the sign I need to finally get a decent mattress. I do prefer to sleep on the side that is hurting.
Mattress could be part of it. Exercise is likely a big culprit, as well.
I’ve already told you people that the key to being a fit individual is Firsting. YOU DON’T LISTEN. Firsting will burn more calories and cause you to walk upright. It will be a pep in your step. DO IT. DO IT NOW.
I am the first to reply to this comment. Does this count?
Go sit in the corner facing the wall.
If I had a dunce cap, you’d be wearing it right now.
Look up, your wearing it,
You mean, if you had an extra dunce cap?
I don’t wear hats of any kind. If you saw my head of hair, you would understand. I have the greatest hair, perfectly fitting of The First Of All Firsters. Beautiful flowing locks, Alexander the Great like.
No one would ever put a dunce cap on me and cover up that hair. Not to mention that I’m a super genius. Firsting requires rapid fire brain synapses. Beautiful, stable genius.
Yes, look into a better mattress. Also core exercises. Stuart McGill’s “The Gift of Injury”, which some Glib whom I can’t remember recommended to me, has some good advice.
Possible. I honestly think sleeping on the ground is probably better for your back than sleeping on a mattress so worn it bows your back.

Anyone else starting to get annoyed by those breathless ads for the Winter Olympics? “The skier everyone’s been waiting for, Mickela Shiffrin.”
A snowboarder named Shawn. The bobsledders. Who cares? Then I realize: more people do care about these once every four years contests than care about whose pockets are being lined by the Chicoms, or should the neighbor’s kid go off to fight for the Ukrainians, or what the drooly guy in the White House says about your being George Wallace, or that 3 million Americans catch colds every day without the necessity for the Karens taking away one’s rights. Bread and circuses because, I guess, we can’t always be focused on “serious matters.”
“Anyone else starting to get annoyed by those breathless ads for the Winter Olympics? ”
No, it’s a waste of time.

‘Anyone else starting to get annoyed by those breathless ads for the Winter Olympics?’
I’m so disconnected from network television at this point (outside the occasional sporting event) I honestly haven’t noticed. When any advertisment begins between programming my eyes and mind instinctively glaze over or I focus on something else.

Of course my food slides right off the plate and onto the dirtiest spot on the floor.
So the larger of the two chicken thighs is now in the trash.
The only saving grace is that I hadn’t picked the other one out of the pan yet.
Have you ever done beef rendang? Very similar to the marinade that you made. Quite possibly the best thing I have ever eaten.
Not that I’m aware of, so I’m going to say not.

“Instant” LOL
Looks yummy but exhausting
It requires some effort but goddamn it is worth it.
Pro tip: make a double batch.
Serve with rice made with coconut milk.
Also, put all the hard spices, including the tamarind, into a bouquet garni, then wring it out into the dish after the pressure cook.
Now that I’ve had that smaller one I’m even sadder, because it was delicious and juicy. The brining worked.
Damn frictionless plates…
We all know you overcook your chicken.
Assume a spherical, frictionless plate in a perfect vacuum….
That’s the signpost up ahead…
“Objects in motion may be heavier than they appear”?
Science!
If they are truly frictionless, you are sitting on a gold mine.
No, they’re very smooth and with the juice from the chicken, there was very little force required for it to leave the plate.
Did you do the sad face of the kid who dropped his ice cream or did you curse like a drunken sailor?
I am optimistic that the Covid narrative is collapsing, and that most people see that, and that we will be back to normal soon. Except here in Ottawa, of course.
Or in Austria.
Or Australia.
Or NYC.
Are there any FL or TX Glibs who would like to sponsor a family of refugees?
I don’t know what would be more satisfying. Aaron Rodgers coughing the ball up on a strip sack in which he breaks his fucking leg, or him staying healthy all game and losing.
I’m just enjoying the cold, the snow, and the defense. It’s like I’m watching a classic late 80’s/early 90’s NFC playoff game. Offense has it too damn easy in the NFL nowadays.
Another collar bone fracture would satisfy me.
Jeez, guys, back off on the hate. It’s just a game.
TH: This is how football is meant to be played. Frozen field in the snow. Screw domed stadiums.
Prost!
Sad thing is GB installed heating coils underneath the Frozen Tundra… pussies.
Hey, I didn’t want him paralyzed or dead…just hurt. A lot.
I’m trying to be judgmental here but I’m a lifelong Chiefs fan just old enough to remember the career of John “Horse Faced Fucking” Elway.
Do you dislike him because he’s a dirty anti-vaxxer
+1 Anthony Barr (a Viking)
Christ, I think I like this Rodgers guy, maybe back up a bit.

/Niners fan
Let’s see a Niners win here!
Well fuck!
/packers fan
For some reason they can’t beat the Niners in the playoffs. I won money on that and now we get to see Brady play against them next week. Sweet.
^ this guy gets it ^
Are you getting it?

Are we gonna see a Super Bowl 16 replay Mike?
That would be really, really cool.
…as long as the ‘Niners win again.
First they must defeat The Brady.
Fuck that punk.
If the Packers special team coaches have jobs on Monday close of business I will be seriously pissed. The Packers ST’s have sucked for years, and this year has been worse than average for them. They cost 10 points today in a game the Packers should have won.
I use a kick return or punt return for a chance to get a drink since their last kick return for a TD was 2000 and their last punt return for a TD was 2004. They are 32d in both categories. When the Jaguars and Lions have done better than you in both categories you must admit you have a problem.
On a positive note, watching a game in a snowstorm is good to see. Death to all domed stadiums!
Yeah, that was nice to see a game in a snowstorm.
..and I laughed. Drink, indeed.

Yes to her too.
Yes.
Yusef, what is your opinion here?
I think she has implants. Those breasts don’t sit right on her chest.
Which, 3 / blonde?
1,2,4,3
The fact that she has a dildo suction-cupped to her IKEA coffee table screams CAM GIRL and I find that off-putting
And the lack of proper public hair.

I’ve seen videos of agaping and they’re pretty divisive.

“Elbow deep inside the border line…”
An infant’s head, not twins
I did not need to know that exists.
“Treat people like human beings instead of political abstractions”
Well that just won’t do. How are we supposed to manipulate humanity’s natural tendency toward tribalism for political gain by treating them as individuals?
A kinder, gentler grift.
Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I’m glad my work is not obsessed with this stuff. It’s there if you want it but entirely optional.
“My kids became fully vaccinated in late December, the same week that Omicron began spreading rapidly throughout the U.S. They were so excited to weave some normalcy back into their lives—to go to restaurants, to have sleepovers with friends, to do all the things my husband and I had previously told them were not worth the risk of infection.”
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/01/covid-parenting-challenges-stress/621322/
No words save one: pathetic.
Because nothing says “normalcy” like standing in a long line to show your papers to enter a restaurant. ?
Has it occurred to you that that is precisely what they wanted for you?
As much as I like Harding*, has English-speaking humanity given up on normality as the right and proper word?
*by which I mean the president, not the preliminary act before engaging in frottage**
**which I just made up, I hope.
I didn’t RTFA because I live in a city full of paranoid ejits like that bitch. I’m stressed as a parent alright, because people like her have helped to make COVID life way more difficult than it need be. We have three kids ten and under and have been trying to have them live as much of a normal life as possible.
I’m delighted that they are so miserable. My main problem? How to plan 12 days in Florida when I only have 3 days occupied with the Miami Open.
Wow….Ha!
A First Of All Firsters is never wrong.
“Elbow deep inside the border line…”
Oh, I think I read that wrong.
This is all very fitting.
Are you kidding me?
So now I know whom the Chiefs will beat in the Superbowl.
So long as San Francisco suffers more. They want to inflict horror on everyone who is even moderately productive, they deserve everything they get.
Are you projecting the SF city council’s politics onto the NFL team that calls SF home? (even though they now play in Santa Clara)
If I don’t generally have an opinion on the team, I’ll go by the people the city votes for. I dislike Baltimore (Ravens, Orioles) even more than Nephilium does. Also, NYC.
I like the way you think.
I can only hope the Chiefs lose, for Gawds sake let us have some one new and less cocky…
?
The Fugitive is on. I never ever ever get tired of this movie. I cannot tell you how many times I saw it in the theater.
“I didn’t kill my wife!”
“I don’t care.”
Best line ever.
What a great movie…

The Great British Sewing Bee is really wonderful (as l0b0t said on zoom). He posted the links in the forum. Check it out. If you have HBOMax, also check out the Great pottery throwdown. Wonderful tv.

TALL SABBATH CANS!
Mornin’ TC and all/any others around,
Been up for an hour and had the first cup of day brightener. They just don’t make Sundays like the old days, when I needed all the sleep I could get to shake off the shakes.
Ive found pickle brine to be more effective than Gatorade. I cant count how many times Ive sat in church on sunday, quietly burping, and someone says “do you smell vlassic?”
Morning.
Good morning, homey & 4(20)! (I’m assuming everyone else upthread has passed out.)
Only in These Troubled Times would I believe that the Bengals are advancing in the playoffs and the Cheeseheads aren’t. (Sign of the last days?) Ah, well – all I care is that I have my mug of chai latte and my choral music on the satellite radio. Happy Sunday!
Packer fans have been clamoring to get rid of Drayton (ST coach) all season. Last night, and having just 10 men on the final FG, was an encapsulation of what an utter disaster he was.
At least now I don’t have to worry about getting Feb 13 off from work.
Next up on who sprouted now:

That’s a spicy one.
Huh, says it has higher scoville than their reaper, but its ‘heat grade’ is lower?
That’s a high heat level for a non red pepper. We’ll see how it pans out.
Long lead time to harvest. Glad we’re starting early.

Follow up. All monkeys accounted for.
Sadly, three were euthanized.
And you believe them?
*Looks out window for unmarked van*
“Yes.”
Dicks out for them?
I snoozed through most of the second half. Did I miss anything?
Sadly, three were euthanized.
Along with the humans who were exposed to them?
