Survey says I’m a Paleolibertarian bitches. That means I eat “L”ibertarians for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Soave tastes a little fruity. Wait a minute, that doesn’t sound quite right…
I was told there would be no thinking.
It’s optional.
Whew, I thought it might be a requirement. I gave at the office…
It’s Optional
Two new cars!!!!!
Yeah, but they’re 1980s cars.
And Chevettes, to boot. I hope they took them to a dealer and traded them both in for one good car.
Dirty Canadian Oil
Your oil is dirty, you dirty Canucks, ship that shit to Russia or China.
It is weird. It’s almost like the Biden administration wants to kneecap the US energy industry.
Nah, that couldn’t be true….
Engineered viruses, deliberate sabotge of the US and world economy, an attempt to provoke Russia into nuclear war. It’s almost like they are malevolent.
And not just the energy industry.
Who the hell is he working for, anyway?
Xi and Klaus Schwab, not necerrarily in that order.
“You fuck with a Latina, you get the knife. It is known.”
Not sure how I’ve survived all this time.
I think Puerto Rican is the stabbiest of all.
Good thing I’ve avoided those up to this point.
So… Aubrey Plaza?
Or that riff-raff chick?
Riff-Raff was a dude. Columbia was the chick.
I still have not been able to watch Slingblade. I’m boycotting something, just as soon as I figure out what to boycott.
L0b0t put it in the forum
Thanks! I will check it out.
I got nothin’

Thanks for playing
I have a co-worker who had chainsaw fall off a shelf in his garage. The bar swung around and made excellent contact with his noggin. Crowned him good you might say. He regained consciousness in a pool of blood.
Store your tools properly.

That gif…
Ray Liotta?
Hannibal (the movie)?
Been a long time since I’ve seen it. I seem to recall liking it.
Of course, Mads Mikkelsons version of Hannibal was intensely dark.
Yup. I had forgotten it was Ray Liotta.
If you haven’t seen the original Red Dragon it’s well worth it. Bryan Cox, then unknown, played Hannibal Lecter.
Back at home. We crossed the Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, and Iowa rivers today.
That’s a lot of driving, more than I enjoy these days…
8 1/2 hours on the road today. Last leg of our summer vacation.
Crossed Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri rivers in about 4 hours.
When you saw that arch, did you realize that they’ve went about as fur as they can do in Kansas City?
I-24?
Paducah KY (national quilt museum) to Eastern IA.
I-24 to I-57 to I-64 gets you Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri rivers.
I missed the hours of the national quilt museum the last TWO times I was in Paducah. I had a disappoint.
We had planned to go there in summery 2020. This got killed by COVID.
So I planned out spring vacation to bring us back through Paduckah for two nights.
Don’t feel bad Mojo! We did a side trip to Paducah from Nashville just to see it, only my wife wasn’t feeling well so ended up skipping it. Did make it to Hancock’s, which I think she may have enjoyed more.
I’m not a quilting guy. However, I appreciate talent and hard work, and I bet that museum offers both in spades.
You sure you want that many riverine enemies?
Good thing SEA doesn’t have a freshwater brother, isn’t it?
STREAM SMITH
Because the government has determined that the creek running across your property is a navigable waterway, SEA SMITH knows no boundaries.
I like it! Them and their brackish cousin, Bay Smith!
The river raper?
Bessie Smith.
Never, because Bessie is a girl. And it’s been decreed that no girls can be a Smith. Just remember when our own Moj tried to get a She Smith, and as I predicted it didn’t happen and instead there was a Space Smith, who is a shitlord Smith like the rest. So let it be written, so let it be done.
We should have a female Smith. Strap-ons are a thing…I’ve heard.
Keep your pegging fetish to yourself.
I was thinking of girl-on-girl action. It’s interesting that your mind would go immediately to pegging.
Interesting…

My high school in TN was 60 hot minutes from both IL and MO
Nothing has ever happened except the recent double camel stomping
It’s a Saturday, so here’s the Zoom/Happy Hour/Article wheedling session for tonight, which I’ll kick off at 20:00 Eastern.
I found a jar of good tomatillo salsa in the basement, so of course I made carnitas.
I ust made a gallon of fresh salsa yesterday.
I’m not sure what is up with this keyboard, maybe it’s just me, but it’s like I have some keys that do not work at times…
I thought you were yust of Norwegian extraction
If Wales is any ways near Norway…
Pretty sure some Vikings must have left a generic legacy in Wales.
They left a pretty bland legacy there, didn’t they?
I am guessing they Welshed on sticking around like they said they would.
I’m sure you are right, but I look way more Welsh than Nord.
Neither one was not enough.
*hot
Mine is pretty spicy, I mean spicy enough. I use jalapenos or Serranos, no suicide stuff, there is a point when the heat overtakes and kills the flavor.
As discussed in the last thread, I’m collecting can lids to make into a wind chime/mobile for SP.
1) Take a lid, rusty or not (preferably a canning lid, but whatever you can get), write your glibs handle on it along with a message of appreciation for her immense contributions to this site.
2) email me at trashy-glibs@disengage.co (and let me what your glibs handle is) to get the destination address for the lid.
3) shove the lid in an envelope and get it in the mail by April 1st.
Once I get all the lids, I’ll assemble them in a way that only a trash monster can, and I’ll send it up to SP to replenish her stock and keep OMWC in check.
I’m gonna try to remember to post this in the links threads this week. If you see that I haven’t done that after 30 minutes or so, please feel free to drop this info in that thread.
“canning lid” – is generic jar lid acceptable? I thought most canning lids were multiple pieces…
A flat, can shaped piece of metal. Your call on where it comes from. I assume that a fineliner permanent marker will be the best way to get more than a couple words on the lid, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Can-lid* shaped
Do they have to be metal? i have a special lid shaped thing that would be nice, but it’s wood
By all means! As long as I can drill and/or glue it as part of the overall project, I’ll take anything thin and circular.
Cool!
The flat piece is the lid, and the round piece is the ring.
?
You farm boys know everything, don’t you?
Everything except how to write in cursive.
Oh, and for anybody more artsy than me: if you want to take over and craft something better than this can’t-color-inside-the-lines Muppet, please do. I’m more than happy to just be the idea guy.
I look forward to torturing SP with my ‘orrible handwriting
It’s funny, my handwriting in in no way legible to anyone. My wife has beautiful penmanship and all these pens from different eras. I ask ‘what use is it?’. It became osbolete the moment a keyboard was created. A lost art, and good riddance.
Dad had terrible handwriting as a youngster so he spent months working on his cursive. The result was near akin to art. Over the years a letter from him was a joy to look at, regardless of the content.
My own writing is not much better. My sixth grade teacher advised me to learn typewriting as soon as I could. I told that to Dad and he remarked, “You can’t carry a typewriter in your shirt pocket.” Fast-forward 55 years and there is now a typewriter that you *can* carry in a shirt pocket.
My handwriting is still crap. I still use block printing when I write. I’ve found myself having difficultly lately just hand-writing a check.
I gave up completely on cursive and only use block prininting now if I HAVE TO do it, which I am completely against. But my querty skills are pretty elite and when they are not, it’s the fault of my KB.
I have some half-assed, mostly cursive – block capitals but the rest is cursive.
I used to be able to do it, but WTF? When you very rarely use it for 30 years? 99.9% of my communication for the past 30 years has been email and text, and whatever online, uising a keyboard. I can’t focus on something that is completely useless.
Some of us use it more often than that.
“Some of us use it more often than that.”
Luddites don’t count.
I hate cursive and have written in print for as long as the teachers let me. (late elementary?) A stint in Architectural Drafting school improved my handwriting, while also changing it to all caps.
My handwriting has been good so far, I’m left handed but I had good grade school teachers. Cursive was grown up writing in third grade and we wanted wanted to show off, in case it went on our permanent records. My kids/grand kids think it’s wonderful at Christmas time and their birthdays.
I can confirm, your handwriting is very good!
You got any bird seed? Did you know that you can trade with the Crows and Ravens? Anyone seen Suthen in a while?
He popped in a few weeks ago. He mentioned that he had some turmoil going on IRL, dropped some zingers, and left again. I was thinking about him today in Sharpshooter’s article; he really doesn’t like New Orleans.
Who wouldn’t hate Nawlins? It’s like the Balmer of the South, but Suthen does not live there.
At Mardi Gras in 1972 I had been 18 for about 5 weeks. I was a hick kid from a hick part of a hick state. I had been to a picnic, a rodeo, and a state fair, and it was the craziest thing that I had ever seen. Walking down the street with a bunch of crazies, smoking joints that were handed to me by the same, following cops with their long hair sticking out from under their riot helmets. Chicks flashing boobs. I was in Gomorrah and loving it.
20 years or so later we stopped by as part of a family vacation. It managed to lose a lot of its charm in that interval. Now I travel for the food and Suthen pointed out that there are a lot more places in LA that have as good or better Cajun grub. Even Mobile >> Nawlins.
Oh, it’s was probably still the same, only you grew up.
You’re probably right.
I found out later that D1 (17 at the time) had slipped out of her hotel room and had prowled around The Quarter late at night. I had to be Furious Dad but in the back of my mind I was reminded of the same thing I had done. It’s different when your kids do what you did, right?
Brave girl. Teenage me approves; Dad me wants to give her a stern talking to.
Same as it ever was.
In the pre-wokeness days things were different. None of that countys anymore.
Great idea! I’m in.
Thanks, trashy!
Shit, I am semi out of pocket until the 10th of April.
Zwak, if you wanna email me what you want to say, I can write it on a second lid?
athenaofprogtown at the gmail
Or anybody else, for that matter.
Hiya Spud!
Thanks for the awesomely gruesome lynx!
Weather getting nicer?
I’m happy tonight because I’ll get to watch Slingblade because of wonderful people I met on the intertoobz, everything else is I don’t give a fuck.
Gibson guitars, 1967, groovy video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-zOaOYB120&list=WL&index=61
What a mess Gibson became. Kalamazoo closed. Memphis opened and closed.
Most guitar plants are pretty similar, but Nazareth is the coolest of them I’ve been through: I love the quality of the woods and inlays.
Memphis was the most garbage operation I’ve seen in this millennium: a huge percentage (10%?) of the guitars made it to the last step and then were rejected and destroyed.
I worked in a plant that made flexible circuit boards for Jeep transmissions. We were happy to have a 50% successful part rate. I ran the bed of nails testing machine.
I used to gross out my kids by saying just before dinner:
“For your dining pleasure tonight, I have crafted an appetizer of chilled monkey brains followed by a main course of greasy, grimy gopher guts. For desert, we will have stewed horse apples a la mode.”
Maybe THAT’S why they are picky eaters?
My kids knew those words but it never bothered me when they sang it, my wife’s English wasn’t such that he knew what they were singing about.
he = she
I remember it as having “mutilated monkey meat” and “little dirty birdie feet”
Git back Loretta!,
Your mummy’s waiting for you,

Idaho.
Shit.
I’m still only in Idaho.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-bvNttwAUc
I love Idaho.
When Mom passes we plan to cut our ties with NM. I’m done with blue states and this place isn’t getting any redder. Idaho, western Montana, western Wyoming, are all under consideration. I’d love to join Animal but I don’t think that the Mrs will go for it.
Right now I am sitting in a hotel in Coeur d’Alain, northern Idaho. Tomorrow I will be in northern Montana.
I was mostly thinking of our Idahoser host.
Hint from the locals: Sandpoint is just as nice as CdA but the real estate costs just about half as much. (Data from about 5 years ago. I’m certain that things are different now.)
I wish I had bought some property in Post Falls ten years ago. The prices have tripled or more since then. All of Idaho has just about doubled in the last year.
I hope you didn’t forget your zircon encrusted tweezers.
You’re only about eight hours away! Beautiful place, except for the winters.
Winter in the north is beautiful, too. In an Ansel Adams sort of way.
Yup. Since we’ve retired and are not obligated to go anywhere (appointment can always be cancelled) then I’ve learned to love snow dumps.
The technicolor black and white can get a bit depressing, but it really accentuates color. We had 7 Blue Jays winter in our yard this year. Looking out the window at the white snow and dark trees with this beautiful blue creature in the midst of it all is really neat.
Dude! Get out of my head! I need a winter hobby (other than masturbation).
Get back into model kit building (I’m assuming you did it as a kid). Seems like something an airplane engineer could get into. Since you get all chubbed up over destruction, build firecrackers into the builds and then destroy them. It’s super fun…I’ve heard.
PON makes a pretty strong case for masturbation.
It’s fun to watch an NHL game live. I guess I’m supposed to root again both the Rangers and Lighting. But it’s cool anyway. It’s even on ABC.
Root for Alex Ovechkin.

I’ve flipped over four or five times and it was a commercial every time.
Two out of three goals happened in front of our seats.
Oh, you’re there. I didn’t catch that. I flipped back to catch the final score. Yay.
I have to leave for the airport in 1/2 hour to pick up the Missus, it’s a 30 mile drive but won’t be much traffic and the deer ought to be sleeping. My night vision isn’t great these days but you go with what you got. She just had to go to Spring Break one last time.
You drive safe, young man!
Godspeed! I can’t drive at night anymore, scares the shit out of me.
Take care, bro. I remember those days. Like I’ve been to BWI like 1000 times. Anymore, if she feels adventurous, she can get an Uber.
Did she win the wet t shirt contest?
Couldn’t find the comment button on the SP thread, which I just noticed, but if prayers work I’ll offer mine. Then dare I hope that this Job-like horror will pass?
Even though it was late, I tried to leave a comment on that thread, but it seems they have been disabled.
@ CPRM. I went back and caught up on comments from Mexi’s afternoon beer review. A comment of yours caught my eye.
Apologies if I’m off-base here, but I think we may be aligned on this; “Dive bar” is egregiously misused. “Neighborhood bar” and “hole in the wall” and “working class bar” all seem to have become “dive bars”. It’s absolutely wrong, but even among the wise folks that make up the Glibertariat, there are some who have taken the dive pill. I won’t name names, but I hope this comment baits Neph into commenting so we can have a good argument before I head off to bed.
I headed out to the webs to see what our betters had to say about this. After a precursory look, it seems that much like “stoic”, the accepted meaning of “dive bar” has evolved to mean something other than it’s original meaning.
It’s sad when people get lazy with language and it sticks. It’s literally not awesome.
I agree though I’ll add dive bar and whole in the wall are not mutually exclusive.
For sure. Probably aligned more often than not. But this new definition of “dive bar” is fucking ridiculous.
Dive bar is where I used to pick up chronic drunks at 0200, who fell off the barstool and hit their head.
If they were the only people ever populating said bar, sure. But that can happen at neighborhood bars and American Legions, too.
They were falling off the barstools because no alcohol was served between 0200 and 0800, so they fell asleep at the bar. Then they would wake up at six and drink coffee, and start drinking at 0800.
A couple of times, we would get off work at 0800, put on jeans and flannel shirts, and go barhopping at the places we usually picked people up. Have an Irish Coffee next to a guy you took to the hospital six hours ago, who’s already back on the bar stool.
That is so sad.
However, I don’t know if I would necessarily consider that a dive bar. Maybe. Were harmless drunks their only clientele?
(yes. I know. I’m way too pedantic about this)
Uh, no. And the required aromatics were there in spades.
I stayed out of that argument but I agree with the person who IIRC posited that a “dive bar” needs to have a certain odor. It is not necessarily something to be proud of.
I agree with that criterion.
One of my main considerations for true dive bar status is there is a decent chance you could get hurt there if you don’t watch yourself.
Males interact with each other with the genetic knowledge that if you cross a certain line, you’re going to get punched in the face. That is amplified in dive bars.
In my (the true) definition of a dive bar, its clientele over-represents the punch-you-in-the-face-sooner-than-later cohort.
I’ve been on calls in bars when I was in EMS that it was known as soon as we walked in, the tolerance for our presence had a severe time limit. Cops left before we did.
Now that is what I call a dive bar.
We were severely lacking in melanin.
They simply didn’t want you lording your white privilege over them.
You’re not the first to say so.
Spuddy, one day we should drink some of your whisk(e)y together. I’ll bring a bottle of Dickel. I’m magnanimous like that.
You still owe me a list. I’m not going to enact your labor for you.
It’s a bit overwhelming. But yes, I will peruse the locally available offerings and ask you for recommendations.
A dive bar must involve risk for those that don’t belong.
^^ kinnath understands ^^
That’s why I don’t go to dive bars. 😉
You and me both, buddy.
Please tell me we can do better than this.

EvilSheldon, if you’re around, I’m playing Tunic in “no damage mode”. The developer obviously realized the combat was ridiculously punishing and put that in there. I would prefer something a little less drastic but at least it stops the dying over and over again. I gave it a go in regular mode but yeah that didn’t last long.

Wow. I’d forgotten how based “Danger: Diabolik” was ;p – sadly can’t pull up a clip on youtube at the moment – maybe I’ll rip my DVD eventually:
Then there’s a great montage of IRS/tax buildings blowing up. Followed by Terry-Thomas:
Corned beef is on the stove and rye bread in the machine. Will have Pattys dinner eventually.
I have quit the grains and the only three I miss are corn tortillas, a well made thin pizza crust, and rye bread for a good Rueben.
To whom it may concern, just jumped back into Babylon 5. I picked up at S01E13, “Signs and Portents”.
Now I have more questions than answers. Yay!
It concerns me. I just finished S4:E19 with daughter 2. Much discussion followed.
Tonight was a double-header. She proclaimed S4:E18 the best episode so far.
There will be episodes you feel that way. All I can say is you will get your answers.
Do not be concerned. I did a double-header too.
Now I’m ready to pass out.

TALL SABBATH CANS!
I’m awake. I’m awake.
I’m trying to reset my sleep schedule. It makes me miserable, but waking up on time makes a lot of stuff easier.
I’ve been up and about for an hour and a half.
Ive been up all night. I think the overnight hours are helping me adjust to DST faster than I used to.
Greetings all.
Good morning homey, U, Ted’S, Sean, NA, Don, and ‘bodru!
Yesterday was too cold, wet, and generally disagreeable, so no progress prepping Tranquility Base for the season. Hoping maybe it will warm up and sunny up some this afternoon.
Yeah, the rain hit here after sunset. Enough time to get the dog out for a walk and move a few of the smaller limbs that fell during February’s ice storm.
Spring has sprung, bitches.
Yup. Removed five ticks from Lilt and one from me yesterday. None latched. All died, but only three by fire 🙁

sleep schedule
I’m usually at work between 6 and 7 just because my mind is so hot and I’m so product in the morning. I’m always up before my alarm, so it’s a matter of slowly adjusting to the new. That said, there is an emotional tug that I don’t easily have as much time alone in the office…it’s like the fun stuff is getting away.
NewWife is a night owl, so I’ll sit here and read, play chess, maybe watch some Premier League until she gets up and decides what to cook for breakfast. I’m looking forward to making coffee, but I won’t grind the beans while she’s asleep.

Because we have seen this before?
