    So get home from bar. Turn on TV and COPS is on. What a bunch of worthless pricks. Busting people for being people.

    1. DOOMco

      It’s a great show if you want me ranting in five minutes.

    2. The Elite Elite

      How dare you not show the proper reverence for the men and women that keep you safe every day! Next time you’re house is robbed, call a crackhead!

      1. The Elite Elite

        Damn autocorrect. Your, not you’re!

        1. DOOMco

          no, that seemed more accurate.

      Obligatory COPS story. Mardi Gras 2002, it was Sunday night (well, really early Lundi gras morning) and I had just finished up a 12 hour shift behind the bar. To avoid the crowds, I headed down St. Peter and stopped at the corner of Royal to chat with my chum Kevis, the security guard at the A & P, we shared a few anecdotes about the highly inebriated antics of the day and I slunk off up Royal to escape to my Dumaine St. house. Suddenly, Kevis shouted a warning! I turned to see a group of 5 angry young men pointing at me and walking over. They were accusing me of pick-pocketing them on Bourbon St.. Fight or flight set in immediately. Now, to be sure, I had imbibed a few Bourbon whiskys and Guinness on the way out the door. And, I suppose if I’m being honest, we were drinking Red-Headed Sluts and Flying The Falcon™ (melt a straw into a V, insert that into a pony bottle of Miller High-Life and invert into one’s mouth so the entire bottle is consumed in about 2 seconds) all night. Also, we may or may not have been smoking weed in the walk-in. The Florida native in me wanted to start kicking and swinging but the rational mind won out and, while constantly protesting my innocence, I walked and talked until we were back in front of my bar. As the fellows (who were all of the overly testosteroned Coon-Ass persuasion) claimed they saw me take the wallet and I had not been out of their sight since, I offered to have the bar call the police and have the police search me and my satchel. NOPD shows up with a COPS crew, I explain the situation to one cop while the Angry Lads are getting angrier and rather abusive towards the other cop. My cop opens my bag and spies my Mardi Gras go-kit: snacks, Pedialyte, 1st aid kit, fancy flashlight, UV flashlight for making sure bar gets clean, expandable baton, several boxes of N2O chargers and seltzer bottle, assorted fireworks, and (duly licensed) Para Ordnance P12 and he looks at me and smiles.
      “You’re ready to party tonight huh?” he laughs.
      “Always be prepared” I sheepishly grin.
      By this time Angry Lads have realized I am not going to be sent on my merry way and they are furious. They keep screaming that they are local and not tourists (of course they were all from Houma) and that maggots like me were ruining the Quarter. The cops pulled out their truncheons and were telling the Lads to talk a walk before they went to jail the hard way when the COPS producer arrives. Apparently my case was not exciting enough so he starts reading the crew the riot act for not finding more boob shots and away COPS went. I do love watching the Mardi Gras specials on COPS because I see so many people I know.

      While going down youtube’s suggested videos, I came across this. Lauren Southern isn’t the first to identify as an attack helicopter.

        Fabulous

    4. Stepped in Pooh

      Hi, I think you linked to a very cool book re: spread of language particulary English

      Also, spent several hours on youtube re: linguistics because of this website
      Are these folks reliable?

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        Which folks would that be?

  3. AlmightyJB

    Great links. Gotta love the Morman kicking the shit out of some punk street thug.

    1. leonadasiv

      Craziest thing I saw as a missionary was two drug addicts fighting in a field. One has this huge bye butcher knife, and started slicing the other. Needless to say we decided it was the best time to leave the vicinity.

      The people in Uruguay were content with just throwing rocks at us.

        1. leonadasiv

          Hahaha, that would have been bad indeed.

        2. AlmightyJB

          1) Total Lion King ripoff. 2) Those white people are so woke. 3) would all the chicks.

          1. John Titor

            It’s the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili. Every PC gamer nerd remembers it.

          2. Pan Zagloba

            My second favorite video game blogger had a small aside about how shocked all the people who voted it for the firsts Video Games Awards would be if they knew what the song was actually about. I chuckled, cause I didn’t know either till I read the article.

          3. thrakkorzog

            Fortunately, they patched it out so you didn’t have to hear that song every fucking time you loaded up that game. Fuck Leonard Nimoy.

        3. Stepped in Pooh

          Didn’t Tom Hardy just do that?

    2. DEG

      It was good to watch the thug get beaten, but I wasn’t impressed with the other missionary standing around watching.

    1. AlmightyJB

      Had this friend who owned a farrot. The farrot would climb into his bed and clamp down on his toes with it’s teeth while he was sleeping

      1. Mike Schmidt

        I also had a buddy who had a ferret that had a thing for toes. You’d be sitting on the couch minding your own business and BAM.

  4. Chipwooder

    And alleged journalists why so many people have so much contempt for them

    1. straffinrun

      They are making it too easy to trigger them.

    2. one true athena

      omg the stupid burns. But otoh Buzzfeed, not really a surprise

      1. Chipwooder

        Perhaps. On the other hand, it says WWI right in THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION.

    3. Mike Schmidt

      I build plastic models. Already because of morons like this, the German WWII models I buy don’t have any swastika decals. So next they won’t even come with the German cross. Fuckers.

      1. DEG

        German WWII models I buy don’t have any swastika decals

        Are you serious? I used build plastic models when I was a kid and I remember the Swastika decals/flags for WWII German stuff.

        1. Mike Schmidt

          I have a Heinkel and a Komet and they have no swastika for the tail. I have a Stuka that comes with a diamond shape for where the swastika should be. Ugh.

          1. DEG

            Shit

          2. Agent Cooper

            Make you own and print them yourself.

          3. Mike Schmidt

            Yeah, I do need to do that. Been putting it off. Just need to buy the decal paper

          4. peachy rex

            Which brand are they? If it’s German (Revell, say) then it’s a legal thing. I belong to a wargaming forum that’s registered in Germany, and you can’t post pictures that include visible swastikas.

          5. __Warren__

            Invisible Swastikas are more powerful.

            Make them so small you can’t see them and BOOM they gain superpowers, it’s like homeopathy for symbols.

      2. Pan Zagloba

        Wargaming models are spared of it so far.

        That is if you get the decals in the first place, of course…

      3. __Warren__

        Certainly third-party suppliers are out there. Like when Lego went anti-gun and some guy started making all manner of Lego firearms.

        1. Mike Schmidt

          Yes, they absolutely are out there.

          That Lego weapons site was very cool. he had some fun stuff.

      4. l0b0t

        Yep, the supescaryevil hatecross has been excised from the box art for the MPC General Lee car.

      5. Old Man With Candy

        Of course it was offensive. HOBBY LOBBY. They’re worse than Hitler.

  5. Vhyrus

    So apparently 2 cans of whupass costs as much as that missionary had in his wallet.

    1. leonadasiv

      If he was smart he only had 1-5 dollars on him at the time.

      1. Vhyrus

        He’s a Mormon missionary in brazil.

  6. Pomp

    Did corned beef & cabbage last night with a broth base from a chicken carcass and reserved duck neck. Seasoned with a whole lot of Coleman’s mustard powder, a few allspice berries, and a tablespoon of whole grain mustard, and of course several bay leaves. Done in a pressure cooker for fast results. Turned out very well.

    1. AlmightyJB

      Sounds quite interesting. Would have liked to try that.

    2. OneOut

      was the duck just shy or what ?

      maybe you just meant you had him in the freezer ?

      I dunno.

      Did the duck have reservations ?

      About what ?I

      1. Pomp

        I reserved the neck and giblets in the freezer for a few months. They were from a Danish style roast holidays duck I cooked on New Years, as suggested by Holder da Dane from Hit & Run. The roast duck was really really good.

    3. Number.6

      My first time cooking CB&C today, and used a slow cooker. Came out pretty good, but could have done with a bit longer in the pot .

      1. Pomp

        That’s the trick. I personally like it when it’s cooked thoroughly enough to almost be falling apart like pulled pork does.

    San Diego brewery creates beer from ‘toilet to tap’ recycled water

    March 17 (UPI) — A San Diego brewery unveiled its latest brew — a beer made from recycled water dubbed “toilet to tap” by locals.

    Stone Brewery, the city’s largest brewer, officially unveiled Stone Full Circle Pale Ale Thursday at its Point Loma location, with local beer fans including Mayor Kevin Faulconer on hand to sample the beer made with water from the city’s “pure water” recycling program.

    “It is fantastic,” The Times of San Diego quoted Faulconer as saying after sampling a sip. “There’s no better way to highlight the purity of this water.”

    “Just a great example of what this is gonna be like in terms of the future and Stone who’s a huge driver of not just the craft beer industry but sustainability, that’s what our pure water program is all about,” the mayor told XETV.

    Gives new meaning to “weaker than nun’s piss”

    1. straffinrun

      Ok, now you guys are just screwing with me. RIP.

    2. Old Man With Candy

      “It’s in the water, son, that’s why it’s yellow.”

    3. juris imprudent

      SD is so funny, they’ve been drinking toilet-to-tap for every drop of Colorado River water they get. What, you think that waste water from LV just evaporates?

    Piano found to have hidden stash of gold coins from 1847-1915

    March 17 (UPI) — A British inquest is being held to determine the rightful owners of a stash of gold coins found inside an antique piano during restoration efforts.

    The Shrewsbury Coroner’s Court heard a repair worker hired by the instrument’s new owners discovered someone had previously stashed an undisclosed number of gold coins inside the upright piano — coins that date between 1847 and 1915.

    Senior coroner John Ellery said the piano was made by Broadwood & Sons in London and originally sold in 1906 to a pair of Saffron Walden, Essex, music teachers with the surnames of Beavan and Mothersole. He said the instrument’s whereabouts and ownership are unknown between the original purchase in 1906 and when it was purchased in the same area by a family in 1983.

    They want to know who to steal it from, or does it only work that way here in the states?

    1. Did it have letters of transit, too?

    2. Gustave Lytton

      I suppose it’s too simplistic to say that the current owner of the piano owns the contents of the piano: keys, wire, gold coins, etc..?

      1. cyto

        Yeah, I don’t get that. They bought the piano… they own it, right?

        Experts said the gold could become the property of the crown under the Treasure Act if the rightful owners are not identified.

        Oh…. oh….. yeah.

        So the owner isn’t the owner if the state decides they want it.

      2. Number.6

        Probably falls into the designation of “treasure trove” – the Crown Estates has first dibs on 50% of it (which IIRC, they don’t tend to claim), and the residual goes to the finder – although it’s taxed as a capital gain.

    3. __Warren__

      Beavan and Mothersole.

      I loved their first two albums and their Live at the Wadsworth limited release but then they got all fancy and just had to go with a full orchestra for their fourth (Codsworth and Cookies) and then went synth-pop jazzy for their fifth (Horse in the Haus).

  9. one true athena

    Thank you Zardoz the Great for the Thinx link.

    I’m not sure if the best part is that the head of a company whose motto is “Patriarchy Free” sounds like a terrible person, or that I can’t be sure whether the company’s policies are actually out of line or the snowflakes are complaining about actually having to work.

    1. Rhywun

      Yeah, my first thought was these are the same complaints they would make about any employer. Surprise… pussy-step lady isn’t as woke as you expected.

  10. Gilmore

    That mormon video is hilarious (glad no one was killed)

    The comments are prog-vomit. I’ve noticed something about the way mob-mentality works online = one person will find a potential angle of criticism? then everyone flocks around that and echoes it trying to widen the tiny-gap of criticism into a bleeding wound.

    in this case, they’re all like, “UGH WHAT A COWARD THE LITTLE PARTNER IS” rather than going, “wow that big guy was brave”

    1. straffinrun

      They’re Mormons. The Wapo comment section would’ve called them idiots if they had been robbed, cowards if they ran away, cultural appropriators if they used Brazilian Jujitsu to defend themselves. You’re right in that they find the angle that stimulates the self righteous pleasure button in their heads.

      1. Gilmore

        Another angle they explored was, “WELL I GUESS CHRISTIANS AINT SO CHRISTIAN ARE THEY?”

        (*i see this a lot = lefties mocking religious people by pretending they’re supposed to be held to some unrealistic standard of moral-perfection)

        but it didn’t seem to stick so after like 3 attempts it was abandoned

    2. John Titor

      If you want to see youtube mob mentality in its purest form, check out any video about some kind of contact with a wild animal. It devolves into two camps: either you’re a monster for any kind of interaction with the animal, or you’re a monster for failing to not interact with it enough. In either case, now it will die and it’s all your fault. It’s the ultimate in shitbag Armchair Lecturing.

      1. Mike Schmidt

        So, if I were to post that I wish I had been there to shoot it, I will make lots of new friends?

      2. Heroic Mulatto

        That’s why I only watch videos like this.

    3. Rhywun

      My only thought was “wow that huge dude is a bad-ass”. It didn’t even to occur to me to question the completely normal behavior of the little guy.

        1. Gilmore

          !@#(@#*()@*$()@*)#( THREADING

        2. That never happened, and you’ve had zero experiences with girlfriends?

  11. Which mmorpg is the best?

    Which moba is the best?

    1. Vhyrus

      World of warcraft

      Cant answer the second one

    2. Heroic Mulatto

      Which mmorpg is the best?

      Of all time or currently running?

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        Best MMORPG of all time is City of Heroes. Man I loved that game.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          That is the correct answer.

        2. Grumbletarian

          Damn right!

        3. thrakkorzog

          I kind of liked SW:ToR, after the recent updates, even if if the end game was fairly lacking.

        4. thrakkorzog

          I preferred SW:ToR, you could rip out bits and pieces of raid gear. It was still a bit lacking on end game content.

    3. Juvenile Bluster

      I don’t play any of them any longer, but the Best MOBA is probably League. It also has the worst people playing it, though all of the communities around MOBAs are awful.

      “Best” MMORPG is probably World of Warcraft, but I’m not sure whether that says more about WoW or its competition.

    4. WoW? Seriously?

      I’ve tried it a couple of times, but it rapidly became boring and repetitive. “Kill ten wolves. Now, kill ten goblins. Now kill ten orcs. etc.”

      Has anyone played Lineage 2 or Guild Wars 2? I’m reading reviews of them right now.

      Also, Lord of the Rings Online, which I tried to start playing a few years ago, but the account got messed up, somehow.

      What about Elder Scrolls Online?

    5. John Titor

      The only true libertarian answer is EVE Online of course.

        1. CZmacure

          Place in my heart.

    6. Pan Zagloba

      MMO: Probably still WoW. I put in six years (release to mid-Lich King) and I don’t regret a minute

      MOBA: Ther’e’s DOTA and there’s shit. DOTA is the only one that will give you all the heroes, care about balance, provide a good gameplay basis and some really neat chrome on top.

      User base is poison but so is every MOBA. At least you get a solid base done by a good team while you wallow in misery for 40-60 minutes.

      Unless Overwatch counts as MOBA (it shouldn’t), then it’s Overwatch because 90% fewer cunts, and 100% more Mercy-waifu.

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        Overwatch is not a MOBA, and Sombra is best waifu don’t @ me.

        (Though the only Blizzard game I still play is Hearthstone, which is Blizzard’s bastard stepchild)

    7. DOOMco

      Elder scrolls is interesting.

    8. Right now I’m simultaneously downloading “Neverwinter” and “Lord of the Rings Online”.

    9. Somalian Road Corporation

      Eve was fun for a while but you can’t play it solo, and Goonfleet is full of perpetually-aggrieved SJWs whining nonstop about everything nowadays. It’s funny, because people used to note that the GF forums were like how Something Awful used to be when SA started becoming patient zero for online modern social justice idiocy, but those days are long gone.

      Dota is the best, because fuck grinding for a competitive advantage in a competitive game. However, I have neither the time nor the inclination to maintain my skills at the moment, and I need to play pretty often or they’ll start to degrade within like a week. Also, every time I take a few months off and come back it’s as fun as slamming my dick repeatedly in a car door. The actual game itself is fantastic, though, and I like playing pretty princess dressup with electronic hats.

      Also, the fucking playerbase. This is not an issue that is unique to Dota, but, well, I think everyone who’s played games of that nature know what I’m talking about–Blame Your Teammates: The Game. It really seems to attract a lot of folks who primarily play not to play, but to be as horrible as possible to other people while being safely behind a computer screen. Investing 50+ minutes into a game, only to have somebody throw a temper tantrum and intentionally throw a very winnable game for some dumb fucking reason, is absolutely infuriating, and with my schedule at the moment I’m reluctant to spend my limited time towards something that will make me feel exasperated and exhausted afterwards.

      1. Number.6

        So … Dota is like hanging out at the other place, dealing with Tony and Mary?

        1. Somalian Road Corporation

          Eh, I wouldn’t say that’s really the equivalent. More like playing basketball, except it’s highly likely that your own team will attempt to foul you and attempt to steal the ball so they can immediately make a halfcourt shot. Oh, and they’re calling you an autistic faggot the entire time… possibly in Spanish or Russian. But it’s very rewarding to win despite it being 1v9, or when you have a reasonable team. I can mute/ignore people verbally being jerks, but the intentional sabotage/gamethrowing kills me.

          My preferred method in regards to dealing with Tony and Mary was to never respond to them at all. They’re there expressly to waste the time of people in an intellectually dishonest manner, and if other folks want to argue for an audience with them, well, be my guest.

    Somehow I missed this “period panties” explosion–never heard of them.

    This CEO seemed less like a day to day creator and just a marketer, chasing every feminist angle. When you play that angle, you will get snatched up by your own audience. The complaints were quite amusing. Look, if you work for a startup, you don’t get the HR coddling and benefits. If you don’t reap rewards with the growth, there a hundreds of startups around you market yourself too….guess if you an entitled sjw, you surely lack the skills required to move to one of them.

    Haha to the tranny model being told “we already have a tranny, a refuge, a fatty….so what’s your angle?”

    1. Somehow I missed this “period panties” explosion–never heard of them.

      And I interpreted your comment to mean panties as they were in a previous era, such as the 50s or Victorian undies.

    1. CZmacure

      Wow, they certainly are not much of a threat in the Great Meme War.

      1. Gilmore

        Yeah, that was my take = the left’s version of “internet snark” is pretty toothless

        They seem to think so. Wrecht!

      During their meeting, Trump apparently refused to shake the hand Merkel on one occasion,

      Even NPR was honest enough to report that Trump hadn’t heard a first request to shake hands.

    1. straffinrun

      That would be good Ikea furniture assembling music. Chill you out when you’re at the end and you’ve got 3 screws left for some reason.

        1. straffinrun

          Whatever you are doing while listening to that, it better include nudity.

            The jam most people recognize was this bit which i think St Germain bit for some ‘house/jazz’ track, which was used by some credit-card company in TV commercials or something.

        2. Number.6

          Holy shit. Haven’t heard any Moondog in … well … a very long time.

          1. Gilmore

            he totally fell off after his second album.

            (*afaik he went to germany and conducted some orchestras there but nothing has the same character of that OG record)

          2. Gilmore

            <a href="http://A third record worth listening to in its entirety, beginning to end

            (*tho who does that anymore? seriously, its almost like something you have to plan around, and do the appropriate medications)

            It makes me sad to think that there are actually 10s of thousands of LP records out there that were designed to be listened to as extended musical ideas, and that almost no one has the actual mental bandwidth to sit down and intentionally digest an entire record in a single sitting

          3. Number.6

            Very influentual with the Canterbury Scene – bands like Camel, Egg and Caravan, IIRC.

            It wasn’t just the sound, he was a kind of remote mentor to a few of those guys when he moved to Germany and got more involved in ‘serious’ composition.

          4. Gilmore

            Yeah the avante garde Euro stuff of the early 70s might have certainly grabbed onto his “caveman-classical” aesthetic

    Meanwhile, in secret Nazi President news:

    A menacing Donald Trump is gazing down on Phoenix’s Grand Avenue.

    The president is flanked by mushroom clouds and swastikas configured like dollar signs.

    “I think a lot of people are feeling this way and I’m just trying to express what I think is on a lot of people’s minds these days,” the billboard’s artist, Karen Fiorito, said Friday in an interview from her California home.

    “Something that really concerned us was this idea of a dictatorship where things were going in a certain direction.”

    But look closely at the mushroom clouds and you’ll see clown faces. There’s a Russian flag on Trump’s lapel.
