Saturday Evening Links of Don’t Enact Our Labor

We’re sorry, Spud cannot come to the door right now.  In his present condition he might take a nasty spill down a partially frozen waterway, and subject himself to further absences.

This is what happens when you decide to play hockey shortly after a wintery mix storm while misinterpreting the dosage chart on a chronic brownie.  He’ll return once he is able to locate his lounge pants.

Until then, we leave you with this debate prompt:  Is the following a violation of NAP, and why does every Pizza Hut in existence deserve to be burned to the ground?

    I like a ham & pineapple pizza, but that’s just wrong.

    • Gustave Lytton

      I know! Pepperoni has no place with pineapple.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

        Indeed. Pineapple belongs with prosciutto, the edges made crispy by the infernal heat of a wood-fired oven.

        Aw, crap. Now I’m hungry again.

        So are the squirrels, apparently.

      • R.J.

        I just ordered from there for a slumber party. If I knew I would have ordered that and critiqued it.

    • Chafed

      I like pineapple on pizza but baking it into the crust is just wrong.

  2. Fourscore

    I’m not a big pizza fan but if someone else orders it I’ll eat the pineapple. Never let someone else’s crisis go to waste. My daughter left a couple pizzas here, I forget, Jack’s maybe.? Mrs F baked ’em up and we ate them but I told the missus not to buy any for us.

    I asked a panel of rabbis, they should be able to agree.

    No, not in the crust FFS!
    You’ll doom everyone!

    • Fourscore

      How did the ER treat you? Are you mobile again?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Slightly mobile, but I’m on cruise control, lest I make it worse. Broth and mint tea,

      • R.J.

        What happened? I’ve been out except for Thursdays for the most part.

  6. The Hyperbole

    Pizza Hut pizza is/was horrible but the pizza/salad bar lunch deal was very teenager pocket money friendly and they had the Journey arcade game and those bitchin textured red soda glasses.

    • Fourscore

      Pizza Ranch has a decent salad bar and sides, chicken, smashed taters, etc. Even dessert pizza that can have add-ons

    • rhywun

      Their personal pan pizzas were a lunch-time favorite back before my job got shipped from Wall Street to NJ and I had more than two or three options for lunch.

    • DEG

      I remember that deal. Sometimes a group of us from the grocery would go over to the nearby Pizza Hut for lunch when we had an all-day shift.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

        Wasn’t it called “Bunch O’ Lunch” or somesuch?

        I’ve murdered a few of those in my day.

    • R.J.

      Yeah! It was an Asteroids cocktail unit at my pizza place.

      • MikeS

        Ms. Pacman at the one I frequented

      • MikeS

        Are you arcade-shaming me??!11?!

    • pistoffnick

      I nearly puked at a Shakey’s pizza buffet in Rochester, MN. My friends dared me to eat a pizza sandwich (replace the bread of a sandwich with slices of pizza) with chocolate mousse and salad fillings. This was after eating 15 slices of buffet pizza. I very nearly puked right there in the restaurant.

      • Fourscore

        Boyz will be boyz

      By damn, that sounds like a fun date

    • westernsloper

      I had a violent car crash today so I got some shit to say so thanks Tulip.

      • Tulip

        Are you ok?

      • Brochettaward

        Western told me that his life flashed before his eyes and that his only living regret would have been that I never got the cookies you promised me. He’s a true Glib. He has respect for his Firster.

      • westernsloper

        Of course I am ok. I use the word “violent” loosely. It happened in a parking lot.

      • DEG

        It’s good that you’re OK.

      • The Hyperbole

        He wasn’t ok before the car crash.

      • Tulip

        Ha!

      • Gustave Lytton

        Other driver is being transported to a black site as we type.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

        And then the fun begins.

      • westernsloper

        I wish, dumb bitch driving too fast in a parking lot. People sometimes interact in ways they wish they didn’t.

  7. Fourscore

    Apparently Spud has gotten mixed up with some East Coasters and lost touch with the outside world.

    • Old Man With Candy

      We’ve kept him busy, since WebDom and I have been rather occupied with much more dreadful matters. He baked 170 cookies yesterday, helped us prepare 250 orders of peanut noodles, worked an event for us today, and broke into my wine cellar while I was at the hospital. A true friend.

      • Fourscore

        At least you know he’s been there. You and Spud are two lucky guys, 6-7 billion people in the world and somehow you met one another.

        Now my wife will know she’s not alone in her good fortune.

        Find a new hiding place for the key to the cellar.

      • Fourscore

        Wait, you were at the hospital? But I thought…

      • Old Man With Candy

        It’s been a rapidly evolving process. Not in a good way. At the moment, we’re at a larger hospital in Rochester. Spud was kind enough to come out here and help support us.

      • Fourscore

        Thanks for the update, OM. My heart goes out to you, SP and Webdoom.

        If I could I’d be Spud’s helper.

      • DEG

        Sorry. Best wishes.

  8. Aloysious

    Better than the Hut. The only problem with this recipe is if you want it today, you need to start it yesterday.

    I like roasted pineapple, glazed with honey and/or brown sugar. Just not on pizza.

    Hope Spud didn’t sprain anything.

    • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

      Roasted/grilled pineapple rings are also quite tasty on an all-pork hamburger.

      Getting hungrier. Why did I sign on at dinner-time?

    I finally did it. I out-pizza’d the Hut. It was the greatest mistake of my life.

    I finally did it. I out-pizza’d the Hut. It was the greatest mistake of my life.

    After years of perfecting my recipe, I made my way down to the local hut, fresh-baked pizza pie in hand. “Try this,” I told the kid working the counter. He did, and he had to agree that it was better than anything Pizza Hut had to offer. Soon, the entire store, customers included, was feasting on my delicious pie. The manager walked over, grabbed a slice, and took a bite. I look at him, anticipation rising. This was the boss, the local fief lord of the Hut. His approval meant more to me than all the rest combined. He took a bite and nodded. “I’ll be damned,” he said, “you really did it. You out-pizza’d the Hut. Shame.” Shame? What did he mean by tha- the manager pulled a gun out from behind his apron and shot the nearest customer in the head. “We have a Code Jalapeño,” he said into his wrist as he executed the remaining customers. “I repeat, we have a Code Jalapeño.” The ground was slick with blood. The kid working the counter choked out his dying breath as the manager turned to me. “You just had to do it motherfucker. You just had to out-pizza the Hut.” He shoved the gun in my face. I was too scared to fight, too scared to run. The manager pulled the trigger.

    A click. The gun was empty. I threw a chair at the manager and scrambled out of the Pizza Hut, not even bothering to see if my missile hit its mark. I was closely pursued by the manager, who had gotten his hands on a deadly sharp pizza cutter. I suspected in his hands it would cut more than pizza. Somehow, I was able to get into my car and speed off, the manager cursing my existence as I left him behind. I took a deep breath. The manager was clearly psychotic. Yes, that was it, just a crazy man with a gun. It had to be. My phone rang. Sister. I picked it. “They’re dead, she sobbed. They’re all dead. M-mom, dad, Chris, Bill. Dead. They killed them all.” I could barely understand her, so great were her sobs. “What do you mean? Where are you?” I asked urgently. “How is this possi-” a single gunshot sounded through my phone’s speakers. Silence. Then, I heard a man’s voice. “No one out-pizzas the Hut.” He hung up. I drove down the empty county road, mind blank. I had nothing. They killed my family. I was alone.

    • Fourscore

      Wow! Some people just can’t stand being second. Where is ol’ what’s his name? Has he seen this?

      • Brochettaward

        I’m glad I never have to worry about that. Being second.

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Good Lord! SugarFree changed his handle!

  10. The Bearded Hobbit

    I guess the thinking is something like, “Pineapple is good with baked ham. Pizza can have ham on it. Let’s add pineapple!”. As Fourscore mentions, if someone offers it, I’ll eat it, but I won’t order it for myself.

    I probably haven’t eaten at Pizza Hut this century. Nothing intentional, I can just find somewhere else (although they closed both PH locations in LA county several years back.)

    • Tulip

      I love it.

    • Ted S.

      Yeah, I think the local Pizza Hut locations here closed some years back, and the closest one is a half-hour away.

    • R.J.

      Look, the Swedes put banana on pizza. Apparently it is good.

      • Tulip

        In the Caribbean I had a salad that had bananas and tomatoes and it was wonderful.

      • Fourscore

        Sounds good to me, too.

  11. Tundra

    I’d crush that.

    Particularly after climbing out of the pond after a late-season game!

  12. DEG

    It sounds like Spud is having a good time.

    • Sean

      Or they stole his kidneys and left his body in the woods.

      • Tundra

        Please. he was humiliated that people found out he can’t skate backwards and won’t come out of his room.

  13. Sean

    5 Guys raised their prices again. Sorry guys, you’re off the list.

    $12+ for an ok bunless burger from a fast food joint just ain’t happening.

    • westernsloper

      Word. (not that there is a Five Guys anywhere near me but I know them) (well, not all five but never mind) (three of them owe me money) I am experiencing the same phenomenon here in podunk. Everything including bun-less fast food is going up. Good thing we don’t have inflation or shit could get really bad.

    • Tulip

      My mom and I had this conversation. I’m bringing my lunch when I’m in the office because the cafeteria is just too expensive for the quality. If I’m going to eat mediocre food, I’ll bring it from home. Kidding, my food is better than what they serve.

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Tried 5 Guys, was not impressed. Steak & Shake has a pretty good burger but I’ve only had it once. Best nation-wide chain burger? Carls, Jr. (and that opinion was based only a little of the commercials with what’s-her-name on the mechanical bull).

      • Ted S.

        Hardee’s is better.

        How many locations do they have in the northeast, anyway?

    • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

      Twelve dollars? YOU-ESS?

      Good God. See how many giant sacks of unshelled peanuts you can steal from the place next time you go there. Assuming there’s a next time, of course.

    • rhywun

      Just looked at the menu. My work location is gone but there apparently there is a new one nearby – if I were to go to the office.

      The $5 little hamburger is now $8.22. My usual was plus bacon and cheese which takes it to $10.80. Plus $5.28 for the little fries. Yikes!

      (I can’t eat their “regular” size burger or fries – it’s way too much food for me.)

  14. Tundra

    Shanghai is looking pretty ugly. I haven’t been following closely. Why is the CCP shutting them down?

    • Sean

      Because they can?

      Ask Klaus.

    • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

      Because if they didn’t, they’d have to admit that their zero-COVID policy is an egregious farce and epic failure which would in turn lead the GenPop to realize that the CCP does not have the Mandate of Heaven and therefore can be turned into worm-food by hundreds of millions of furious Chinese?

      I’m just spit-ballin’ here.

      • rhywun

        I wonder why Shanghai specifically. Are we supposed to believe there are zero cases in every other city? Maybe the MSM media swallows that but I sure as hell don’t.

      • Chafed

        Beam gets it.

    • Timeloose

      I talked about this with my buddy today. Last week I had a customer meeting with people based in Shanghai and Beijing. They told me that the COViD numbers in thier city were up to 200 cases.

      I added two orders of magnitude for China reporting censorship. I guess either they want to try to limit COViD or shut down the economy of the world to demonstrate their power the world.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Local Chinese officials tend to respond strongly to Beijing mandates as a show of faith and obedience.

  15. The Late P Brooks

    Pizza Hut’s not really even pizza, is it?

    • R.J.

      Of a sort. It’s party pizza. There’s nothing wrong with that.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      We have a Pizza Hut in my podunk town, it could be worse.
      My buddy is the MGR. so free pizza for our club, why complain?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        It’s a bribe for tournaments,

      • rhywun

        Pizza Hut is way better than the local chains where I grew up. So is Dominos. Both were a great treat on the rare occasions we didn’t go with the local chain. So I have nothing against either to this day.

        Pro-tip: do not try the local pizza in western New York. I’m looking at you, Pontillo’s.

      • Brochettaward

        When you say Western New York, what exactly are you referring to? Because it can’t be the pizza in Buffalo.

      • rhywun

        Rochester. I have less experience with Buffalo pizza but I don’t remember it being very good either.

      • Brochettaward

        Bocci’s pizza in Buffalo is some of the best I’ve ever had. Pizza and wings.

      • rhywun

        The problem is that most pizza in the area is that doughy midwest abomination.

        Don’t know of Bocci’s.

        But yeah, Buffalo knows how to do wings.

      • pistoffnick

        …doughy midwest abomination…

        DON’T TALK ABOUT ME THAT WAY!

        *runs waddles away crying*

      • Sean

        We have one too. Never any cars in the parking lot.

        I’m convinced it’s a money laundering operation.

      • Ted S.

        I have no idea if anybody goes to the fast casual places here in the post-coronapanic era.

  16. The Late P Brooks

    Why is the CCP shutting them down?

    An abundance of caution. When we’re all dead, there will still be Chinamen aplenty.

    Haha, my spellcheck does not approve of “Chinamen”.

    • mikey

      There’s a Chinaman Gulch and a Chinaman Cove up the road from here. Guessing they’ll be purged soon. My phone doesn’t seem to mind.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    I just had a couple of Wendy’s “double stack” burgers (no CHEEZE, please). They’re just like the old original Wendy’s double. $2.50 apiece. And a med frosty. I got out of there for sebn fiddy with a belly full of dead animal protein.

  18. The Late P Brooks

    Hardee’s is better.

    Hardee’s *is* Carl’s Jr.

    • Gustave Lytton

      That’s what they want you to think.

    • Ted S.

      You probably think Best Foods is better than Hellman’s, too.

      • pistoffnick

        Only artisanal mayo for me.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      Back when they still used lead, because it works dammit.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I still use it, Kester 63/37
        Tasty joints!

      • Hyperion

        Damn, Usef, thought you probably got stuck in the Oort cloud, or the Kuiper belt, or something…

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I’m still interdimensional, so it’s hard to focus, yet I exist on many planes.

  19. pistoffnick

    Dave’s Spud’s not HERE, man!

  20. The Late P Brooks

    I watched some crazy samurai movie last night. I might have to watch it again, to see if I can possibly figure out what the fuck is supposed to be going on (other than this immortal maniac mowing down herds of bad guys like a McCormick Reaper).

    • R.J.

      I just watched the first 30
      Minutes of Comrade Dracula and decided that is getting posted very soon.

      • R.J.

        Damn. I hate typing on a phone.

      • Hyperion

        Me too, especially since it seems I now cannot even type of a PC keyboard…

  21. Trigger Hippie

    Compromise. A light drizzle of pineapple juice on a ham/Canadian bacon pizza prior to baking is acceptable. Otherwise, the taste of pineapple is too overbearing.

  22. The Late P Brooks

    “Comrade Dracula” you say?

    *ponders*

    • R.J.

      Yes! Found it on Tubi. A recent film. Can’t share links on this phone. Communist vampire film. Very promising.

  23. robc

    Nephew update: doing much better. OT has approved him to drive, if neuro doc signs off on Tuesday. My sister thinks he will be working again within a month, if not at HVAC, then something ( he is a freakin hard worker).

    Perp has been charged with felony assault by state of Maryland. NCIS also investigating, as perp was* a marine.

    *Past tense intentional, as I cant see how he doesnt get a dishonorable discharge.

    • Ted S.

      Maybe his father is an important political figure.

  24. Shpip

    A local Eye-talian food truck does “Dilly-Dilly” pizza, which is a white sauced pie with slices of dill pickle. Nice, if you like pickles and can wrap your head around the concept.

    And for those of you who can’t stand the thought of sweet fruit on pizza, WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

    • robc

      I thought is was a dessert pizza with a dilly bar on it.

    • Trigger Hippie

      My god can’t find that page.

    • Trigger Hippie

      *refresh*

      Oh, my…. that’s a bit much.

    • Hyperion

      I love pickles, maybe even on pizza. But the entire concept of white pizza… that’s racist you know? Haha, I bet you knew I waws going to say that. Anyway, I don’t much care for it, I like pizza with marinara and I don’t care how racist that is.

      • Ted S.

        Haha, I bet you knew I waws going to say that.

        Actually, I was expecting you to start screaming “HIPSTER JUICE!!” for no reason.

      • Hyperion

        Oh, come on, Ted, you know I only scream hipster juice for a reason.

      • Ted S.

        It’s an outlet for your inchoate rage.

      • Hyperion

        “inchoate rage.”

        Funny how I am somehow almost completely unaware of that. Oh well…

      • Ted S.

        People with inchoate rage don’t recognize that they have it.

      • Hyperion

        Ah, I see, well I guess I will just have to live with it. I’m sure it’s not as abad as gout in your toe, it can’t be.

    • rhywun

      The color of that coming back up is going to be interesting.

  25. Hyperion

    Gee, I don’t even have to play hockey to get all hobbled up. All it takes is a stumble on a step stool and then you get a metatarsal bruise and a gout attack in that big toe. The 2nd is painful as hell.

    I’m having a couple of advils and a couple of shots of bourbon.

    Just did some rocket surgery on my hyroponics gardens, moving the 3 pepper plants (2 biqinho and 1 mini-bell) and 3 maters (orange hat micro dwarf) out of my lettue plot befoe they got completely choked out and moved to one side of my farm 24xl. Now I’m going to plant the other half of that with 3 more maters (heiroom cherry) and 3 jalapenos. Harvested about half the leaves from the lettuce (30 days), using cut and come gain method.

    I see the ‘Big Guy’ threw his son under the bus. You gotta love these rotten stinking corrupt bastards.

    • R.J.

      Nope. I went full time W@H. Staying that way. No more 2 hours on the road every day. Everyone I monitor is across the globe. Nobody is local. What’s the point?

      • rhywun

        Everyone I monitor is across the globe. Nobody is local. What’s the point?

        Same.

        If my company tries to pull this, I’ll just quit and find better pay remotely. I am pretty confident I can do this as I am fairly underpaid.

      • Hyperion

        Right on, bro, me too!

      • Hyperion

        Here’s the deal, with the ever increasing amount of companies seeing the cost benefit and the enormous increase in their available talent pool, anyone who doesn’t adpot this model will be crushed in the competition of recruiting new talent. I can’t even believe that Eric Schmidt is that stupid. Early senility?

      • DEG

        I can’t even believe that Eric Schmidt is that stupid.

        He’s a former Sun exec.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        In the process right now. I have an interview Monday morning and a callback Tuesday morning with two fully remote companies. “Back to office”? Buh bye

      • R.J.

        I wish you success.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Good luck, super lid man!

      • MikeS

        Good luck, trashy!

    • Fourscore

      It’s easier to get a good customer than a good employee. Always support the good employee, they’re scarce.

      • Hyperion

        One dept of one of my clients aleady tried it, and it was a catastrophe. Nearly 100% of the people being forced back chose to resign or retire. That was the last experiment with that.

        One of the Google founders doesn’t know how working from home can work? LOL, that’s not a tech guy, that’s a luddite.

      • Gustave Lytton

        He’s not one of the founders. He’s the ceo the two brought in, or Vc brought in, to run things “professionally”.

    • TARDis

      With the staggering number of people who have just “retired”, I agree.

      There is going to be a crisis very soon.

      • Hyperion

        Very reason I am not retiring any time soon, I am still a valuable resource. Why would I retire in a few years when I can sit here at my desk and make lots of money and still have time to do everything else I want to do? Especially being remote.

      • Gustave Lytton

        My boss is retiring next week. This is about the third or fourth cycle of oh no retirements will take all of our skilled people away. I’m a bit numb to it now but this does feel a little different. Eating the seed corn for the past several years and cutting actual employee development particularly with covid has me wondering. I need a couple more years.

    • The Last American Hero

      Not for anyone. We’ve been telling everyone that WFH works just fine – it does for the 3-7 year people. But our 1-2 year people need the interaction and mentoring and informal training/observation they get from being around more senior staff. They also are not emotionally connected to their colleagues so they are willing to quit every time someone waves $5 more in their face. Why not, they just sit in their apartment at a computer all day anyways. They also have ZERO peer pressure to do more than the bare minimum. Try showing up late to an office were people don’t, or ducking out at 5:30 when people don’t leave until after 7.

      So we have the nubies and a few die hards like me frequently being in the office. The middle isn’t mentoring or learning to lead and the noobs aren’t getting that informal training. So not only will our company suffer in the long run, but our clients will too.

      Yeah, WFH fucking rocks.

      • Lackadaisical

        Yup.

        I was supposed to be in that sort of role (mentoring newbies as the mid-career type), but instead they got barely any interaction with me. And they really needed it. I thought it was mostly on them- there isn’t any reason you can’t do a video call and get some decent mentoring, though it isn’t the same. Definitely got the bare minimum out of them, and myself too :/

        Definitely agreed on the lack of team building (no not those stupid exercises).

  26. Brochettaward

    There are days lately where I feel as though I’m all out of Firsts. That I’m all used up with nowhere to go. Every Firster’s career eventually comes to an end, and none of us knows how much time we have left. Even though I carry The First, sometimes, I’m insecure, too. Then I read posts from people like UCS or Hyperion and I’m like…no, I still have a lot left in the tank. By The Great Firster, I’m not them.

    The First still grows in me.

    • Ted S.

      You never had any firsts to be out of.

      • Brochettaward

        Your mother used to beg me to First her when I was younger, but I would always refuse.

      “The 29th grows within me, each day feeding from my essence, and yet, being my very essence at the same time. I would look at those beneath me, in the 30’s, but they are not worth it. I would look above, at the more than 2 dozen commenters that preceded me, but they are merely the opening act in this Twenty-Ninthing Opus.”

        Gyros aren’t even in the top 50 of best foods, but the guy with the gyro avatar is trying to tell me what it means to be First. Next Hyperion is going to try and tell me what it’s like to be with a women.

        I love you but you’re wronger than wrong. WRONG.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Agreed. A good gyro puts a 5-star meal to shame

      • pistoffnick

        Done well ( like in the scary parts of south-side Chicago* ), gyros are excellent.

        *Hometown Gyros…look ’em up.

      • MikeS

        Gyros are excellent. I used to respect you. You are now just a seconder to me.

      • pistoffnick

        I’d like to take your word for it, but I have never been to a Shawarma place…

      • Ownbestenemy

        First time I had it was in Demark…go figure

      • Brochettaward

        I have always divided the world into Firsters and seconders, but it seems I now also need to view the Glibertariat in terms of the gyroists and the anti-gyroists.

    In case you still thought the 2020 election was legit

    Effective elections must accurately reflect the free expression of the will of the people; and must be perceived by the voters as fair with an outcome seen as legitimate. Elections fail when they do not result in an outcome generally perceived as fair or legitimate.

    TL;DR: The US does not even follow any of the recommendations for fair elections on which we spend money to promote internationally.

      “In case you still thought the 2020 election was legit…”

      I stopped believing that at just after 4am the next morning.

    • Gustave Lytton

      they do not result in an outcome generally perceived as fair or legitimate

      Trump lost, Biden won. Right outcome resulted, so it must be fair and legitimate. Unless you’re a Pro Putin Ruskie apologist.

    I rarely eat pizza but tonight my nephew turned 6 and we went out for pizza. One was Hawaiian, and it was good.

    We did not go to Pizza Slut.

        The Splosives household overindulged as well. Probably because we started at 11am.

        So we “took a nap” at 7:30 pm, and now I am wide awake. Gonna take some diphenhydramine and go back to bed soon, I hope.

      You trigger. Wanna endure an awkward hangout with a friend?

      Bullshit. You are a valuable member of this community. Stay.

      Take two aspirin and text us in the morning.

      Everything will look different then. ?

    Well, tonight I re-watched a movie, In the Mood for Love, that I’ve generally considered my favorite for the last 20 years. For the first time, despite numerous times that I’ve watched the move (though, probably, not in the last 10 years), it was clear to me that the main characters failed to remain chaste at the end of their relationship. Finally, everything made sense at the end of the movie. Is it because I watched it for the first time on Blu-Ray or got jaded over the years?

        I saw it. So she wasn’t hot?

      • MikeS

        I guess. Sad!

    Ah yes, upstate new york in spring (?) you should still be getting a bunch of snow soon. Depressing!

    Here it is almost perfect low 70’s and sunny with a slight breeze.

      2 things:

      2. Trump’s an idiot savant who doesn’t learn from mistakes. When he’s right he’s right but hoo boy when he’s wrong.

    • Fourscore

      Do people expect to get away with murder? Is the hatred/jealousy so bad that one would trade a bad freedom for a bad incarceration?. I don’t understand people and their motives.

      • EvilSheldon

        Well, on the one side, people *do* get away with murder quite a bit.

        But mostly it’s poor socialization and no ability to articulate consequences among people raised in impoverished communities. Note that by ‘impoverished,’ I don’t mean ‘poor.’

    Morning, TC, Lack and Sean and all others,

    Sunday Morning Coming Down but the rain has been postponed ’til this afternoon. Back in the snow pattern.

    Seems like Spring has been re-scheduled. ‘Til next year.

    • Sean

      Morning. I’ve got a mini forest in my sunroom, yearning to be free.

      • Fourscore

        Me too, though my sun room is an east facing window sill. Apple trees, about 15. Peppers are under lights in the furnace room, cabbages next to a heat source ’til they germinate.

        We killed all of Mom’s houseplants after she died. Nobody else in the family has a green thumb, and she had so many that they were taking over one of the bathrooms.

        When Mom went in the nursing home, my sister came up from Texas in part to see her and in part to help clean out the back bedroom. My sister filled about 40 of the big Hefty garbage bags.

      Yesterday my neighbor was burning through his ammo stockpile and managed to threaten a few tin cans and some paper products. Spring must be here, in spite of my misgivings. I get concerned when I don’t hear shooting. Soon they will hear me…Big Woods

    Good Morning Crew.
    was busy moving dirt out of barn, replacing some trees. Got 4 sheep shorn last night.
    woke up in pain, and have to take care of the chickens.
    Might be a slow day for me.
    Hope everyone is ok. Very glad to see all of your posts.

    • Fourscore

      We didn’t call it dirt from the barn and it was a daily event. I helped a neighbor shear sheep many years ago. My job was tying the fleece into bundles, as I remember we did about a 100 sheep, he hired a pro that was like a GI barber.

      Take care, a day of rest, that’s what tomorrows are for.

      • rhywun

        Watched a bit on TV about shearing sheep. The narrator called it “back-breaking”.

        Oh, I remember now, it was some postage-stamp town way down in the south of Argentina or Chile. Generations of inhabitants, that’s all they do is shear sheep.

      • Ted S.

        They probably fuck the sheep too in the downtime, but the show wouldn’t have mentioned that.
