So, I probably won’t be around when Manly Monday goes live this week. Most likely I’ll be passed out cold in a Tel Aviv hostel. Since I’m a bit jet-lagged (I assume), so I’m going to go with an easy win.
Ben. Fucking. Cohen.
Ben Cohen is a sexy former rugby player who founded the anti-bullying StandUp Foundation and a leaked jack off video, which I will let you google for yourself. Anyway, without further ado, here are a bunch of pictures of the very sexy Ben Cohen. If someone wants to invite Kaptious Kristen over now would be the time.
Also if you need calendar, Ben Cohen has you covered.
You sure? GZ’s tail isn’t all the way up.
Whoa.
I think I’ve decided to become a libertarian. Nice outreach!
We like to think of it as a “reach-around.”
I’ve been triggered.
What, I don’t know.
It’s ok, Rufus. It doesn’t mean you’re gay, or anything. He’s just that hot.
/wipes sweat from forehead.
*longs to see pics of Rufus sweating*
Ok, now that’s gay, Jimbo.
I thought it was ok in this thread. *runs off to the heterosexual thread*
This is getting gayer than that big pile of naked guys all having sex with each other.
Here’s the form to file a Butthurt Report.
Also, this:
Well then…
To hell with George Clooney, if there’s anything that could turn a straight dude gay, that’d be the guy.
Clooney? Pff.
Curiously, though, in his spread-eagle picture, he appears to have the same package as a Ken doll.
I feel like I’m being bodyshamed.
*runs away to safe space, sobbing*
“passed out cold in a Tel Aviv hostel.”
That seems like a lot of work to ensure you get some circumcised action.
Just sayin…
You and I should do a weekly “Reptile Roundup” post where we discuss important goings-on in the world of anthropomorphic reptilians.
Indeed, I would be most pleased to contribute to the education of this hive of scum and villiany.

Julie Borowski
She also recently schooled Tomi about what she said on Teh View. Something about “I can’t be a hypocrite, so I have to be pro-choice.” Julie pointed out how her statement was not true.
I have no idea what that means. Is she suggesting anyone who thinks otherwise is de-facto a hypocrite… because…. what?
I believe she means that to be pro gun and anti choice would be hypocritical since one increases personal liberty while one decreases it. It’s not an illogical argument, provided everyone is using the same definition of ‘human’, which they aren’t.
or ‘liberty’.
I’ve always thought libertarians had (or at least *should have*) something of a truce on the subject of abortion; i think its perfectly reasonable for anyone to be on either side of the issue and not compromise themselves in the slightest.
My personal libertarian 8 ball says that one could be morally opposed to a particular good or service while still realizing it should not be illegal to acquire said good or service. That’s how I view abortion.
That’s probably pretty much where i am.
and i think even a lot of people who are ostensibly “opposed” to it simply want to get the govt to stop subsidizing it/forcing employers to pay, etc.
It’s a complicated issue where NAP doesn’t really work. If one thinks that life begins at conception, and abortion is murder, then you can absolutely justify outlawing abortions. If you think that life begins at birth, then outlawing or regulating abortion is an unnecessary state intrusion. Those are both equally valid libertarian positions.
So I just found out Tomi Lahren was suspended from The Blaze for this very remark that I posted and may need a new job soon. Show of hands: how many people think glibertarians.com needs a new smoking hot writer?
Oh, I don’t think I need to read anything she writes.
We need lots of smokin’ hot libertarian investigative journalists.
.. female ones, I mean. Forgot to take into consideration the thread that I’m in.
Don’t forget Kat Timpf who is nominally conservative, but often doesn’t sound like it, and the now-freelance-after-a-breakup-with-Rebel-Media Lauren Southern, who I’d consider nearer to libertarian than to conservative.
Both of whom I would be prepared to inseminate as frequently as they wanted*, providing they asked me nicely.
* clearly includes the number zero.

A friend of mine used to date a girl who looked disturbingly like Laina. I still end up doing a double-take when I see those memes.
Mmmpf. Kat Timpf.
I watch that stupid Greg Gutfield show just to see her.
I’m even more of a fan of Joanne Nosuchinsky
I see that “Tomi Lahren” is the blonde?
Who is the brunette who opens up the program?
Pretty much everyone.
So no Kennedy fans around here?
I was the model for that picture.
This is my favorite time of the week because it means that there won’t be another Manly Monday for 6 days and 23 hours.
That’s how not gay I am.
Bigot, racist, homophobe, transphobe, islamophobe, baby killer, child molestor!
Did I miss any? *Checks bingo card*
Nerd hater.

Manhattan Beach is the gayest of all the beach cities.
Followed by Redondo, then Torrance, then Hermosa, and finally El Segundo.
Do you even Venice, bro?
Although…. yeah. Our mayor was pretty gay. So gay that I think his poodle was deputy mayor.
rugby players with bonus calendars. niiiiiiice
My god, wood ?
But the calendar is “sold out” ?
Torrent it brah
Yeah, like I need him coming over here and beating me up.

Speaking of rugby players.
I’m feeling itchy already. *rubs smooth chest*
Ya know, most Japanese bathhouses and hot springs have a no-Chewbacca policy.
Sucks to be Michelle Obama.
Most likely I’ll be passed out cold in a Tel Aviv hostel.
Drunk on Manishevitz?
Is that the new clever term for jew semen? I think I might use that.
Jesse discovered that some of the men in the iDF are also hot.
how does that work? he does PSAs that say, “Hi! if you’re a bully, I’m going to find you and KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS, MATE”
I have gotten so fucking sick of celebrities and their “look at me i’m a do-gooder watch me care like sooper hard about some popualar issue du jour” nonsense.
Agents must have some industry-term for this, re: celebrity virtue-marketing thing. Hell, they probably have a half-dozen terms, its probably such a well-developed area.
I mean, are you going to disagree with him?
i support him in all his charitable self-promoting endeavors
Speaking of which…
…. so i go to the “Stand Up Foundation” website, and read their profile, etc…. and click the associated links….
…and it seems like the various links on that page lead to a Tumblr page for “Rapid Rodent Removal” of Dallas Texas
Looks like he paid a “web developer” buddy to code something up 15 years ago and forgot about it.
Its the thought that counts.
Bears fighting bullying isn’t anything new.
I was expecting Yogi and Boo Boo
Instead it was Guido Chuck Norris vs. Alex Jobes
Peeping Tom is about to start on TCM. This is one of SIV’s all time favorite movies starring the lovely (as in as hot as chicks get) Moira Shearer.
Sounds cool. Recording…
It’s fucking amazing this movie was made in 1960.
“1960 British psychological thriller/horror” pushes like 4 of my buttons.
Never wear white shorts as a man, especially at that length no matter how hot you are. Your welcome
OT.
I got pulled over for bo seat belt a few hours ago after leaving work. I provided the cop my insurance, registration, license. My insurance card was expired but I just got my new registration at the end of February. Also the cops have a record of my insurance, they can look it up. I know this. anyway, cop asks if there are any drugs in the car. I say no. he asks if he can look, I say no. He calls in K9 unit, the dog alerts (or so they say) so they search my car. make me empty my pockets, take my boots off, remove my hat. they find nothing because there is nothing and never has been anything. I don’t do any drugs and no one who rides in that car (who is practically nobody since I only use that car to commute to work) does either.
I get a lecture about whom I associate with because someone obviously left a trace of narcotics in my car or their dog would never have alerted. They tell me I can go and give me tickets for no seat belts and no insurance.
I am Pissed smooth off right now. They lied about the dog alerting. Used it as a justification to search me and wrote me a no insurance ticket when they know good and god damn well that I have insurance.
Throw people in the justice system and let them fight their way out if they’re innocent. Witches float.
This Incident pisses me off on several levels. Seatbelt laws were created so that the cops have yet another tool to stop drivers on the road and investigate them. Also to generate revenue. also if I choose to drive around with no seat belt, that’s my decision and should have nothing to do with the state. The drug war immoral and pointless and provides justification for the police to effectively ignore the 4th amendment on their “suspicion of drugs” or proof of the presence of narcotics from their dog smelling them.
I just got pulled over and searched because of sets of laws that I abhore. Damn I’m pissed.
America, fuck yeah. Secure in your papers includes zigzags. You’ll often see cops roll up on someone doing nothing illegal and say, “Well, we’ve received complaints, so I’m just here to see what’s happening. Why are you getting so defensive?”. Since they have repeatedly done shit like they did in your case, the answer is, “Because you’re going to tag me with something from your mile high mountain of laws.”
I’m defensive because I have damn good reason to be. Mountain of laws is correct. Every one of us is probably doing something against some law right now. That’s the problem with having a legal code that I couldnt fit in my living room.
I propose a constitutional ammendment requiring all laws be carved onto a single stele. At least architectural limitations and gravity would provide a check on the bastards given the courts are unwilling to do so.
I propose a constitutional amendment. Every law has to be individually reviewed and reenacted annually.
That should keep the fuckers busy.
sorry for you bro
Fuck that shit
Yeah, the lecturing. Like this fuckwits have any moral or intellectual standing to lecture anybody.
That may have pissed me off more than anything. I’ll admit after the cop said called the K9 unit I wasn’t especially pleasant. not over the top rude but not nice at all. I was asked why I was irate and why I didn’t consent to the search. I replied that I didn’t like interacting with police and that I don’t consent to searches on principal. They pressed me on the principal part and just shut up. probably for the best. if I would have started I probably would have ended up in jail.
It’s clear he had zero probable cause to bring in a K9 unit.
he said he did. I was sweaty (because I just left the fucking steel mill I work in) and was clay (because I hadn’t properly rehydrated yet after a day in a steel mill) and that was evidence that I was high as a kite and probably trafficking drugs.
not clay, clammy.
Also, they can make their dog alert at anytime. Fuckers.
Huh, its almost as if conditioning dogs to do something around a car might lead the dogs to just want treats.
It’s complete madness that we’ve ceded that much power to dogs.
Or they can say the dog alerted. It doesn’t really matter. The courts will go along with it.
I know they made their dog alert. there is literally zero chance tjere has ever been drugs in that car. its a chevy sonic I bought brand new 3 years ago and the only thing I use it for is to commute to work and take my 4 yearold to school.
Maybe it’s time to have a talk with your 4 year old.
I do. All the time. And it’s pointless.
J/K as far as 4 years olds go, my boy is pretty good. He listens at least 1/3 of time and does what I tell him to at least once a week.
I feel for you, but I’ve never been searched thankfully. Couple years ago I got pulled over by a cop in my town for a broken tail light after he tailed me for a couple miles, and I’m like a 1/2 mile from my house. The song and dance proceeds to an unscientific sobriety field test, which I consent to since there’d have been no chance of me crossing the limit. This process included sitting me down on my own rear bumper because this shrimp was too short to do his dumb “eyes follow the flashlight” response test. He then informs me that I’ve failed, and that he’s going to detain me for operating under the influence.
I go “Wait, what? Why?!”
He says “Sir, it’s obvious that you have a very low tolerance. That means you react strongly to alcohol and are very sensitive to it. Have a nice evening.”
Never before in my life have I been so desirous of political and police connections by the time I got home.
A dead thread? Good. Let me drop this here. About 20 years ago, my friend Tony and I went out to a bar in Shimokitazawa. Being young, dumb and full of rum, I was able to start up a conversation with a couple of young gals sitting at the bar next to us. The transparently obvious trick used by guys here is to, “Oops. I missed my last train”. The gals know we do it on purpose and we know they know we do it on purpose, but it still works. Since the gals came to the bar on bicycle, the only solution was to ride double and take them home. Tony’s gal straddled the cargo rack on the back of her bicycle and my gal did likewise on her bike. Tony, who may have been a virgin, tore down the street, in anticipation of what was coming.
I turned a corned and looked down at a steep hill. The street at the top of the hill changed from pavement to cobble stone. Given the gal was straddling the metal rack on the back of the bike, I decided it would probably be a good idea to get off and walk down the hill. Tony, however, wasn’t quite the gentleman. He came around the corner and flew down the hill. The gal on the back of his bike was pounded mercilessly as the bike bounded down the cobble stone street. By the time my gal and I got to the bottom of the hill, Tony’s gal was sitting on the curb with an expression on her face of, “Why did he do that?”. It was worth not getting laid to see that expression.
Crushed by quads twice in the same tournament! And I didn’t see it coming either time.
The second time, and it knocked me out of the tournament, was especially frustrating as had I raised my aces he would have folded pre-flop and not caught his cards.

Why does Donald Trump demonize cities?
Because they show that the liberal experiment works.
Saw that earlier, was going to post it but forgot.
Did a search for “Detroit” in the article. Somehow it wasn’t there. Sure it’s just an oversight.
TDS doesn’t capture the essence of WaPo’s opinion page. Every single piece is pure political hackery.
Was Baltimore there? What about St. Louis? Those are 2 cities that are among the most violent places in the world, not the country, but the world. And they need to shut the fuck about this ‘liberal’ experiment. What happened to the liberal experiment is that all of the liberals turned into raging leftist totalitarians. End of experiment.
The “liberal experiment” is really nothing more than a loose collection of interest groups whose only thing in common is “gimme” with a heavy dose of elitist hangers-on that are duped into it. All the pie-in-the-sky bleating about “freedom” is a smokescreen.
What about Baltimore?
Trump demonizes cities?
by buying large buildings in them?
Of course leaving people mostly alone doesn’t work, and certainly not better than progressivism!

Haven’t read, yet, but this is the president who literally lives in the middle of the largest city in the country? That the one they’re talking about?
There is way too much stupid to unpack all of it. My god what a moron.
He (and his (smokin’hot) baby’s momma) both used to write for Reason.
I thought I recognized his name. Wow, another fake.
Fake? they’re like Yin&Yang, the idealized archetypes of The Reason-Writer; they’re the Adam and Eve of Cosmotopia.
I had to look it up – I remember the wife! What became of her?
This amused me:
She wrote a (apparently very good) book about MMA.
I suppose it translates it for the wine + cheese set so they feel like they ‘get it’.
I will take a wild guess and assume she also teaches or something at whatever university campus they live near.
She had a funny tweet a few years ago, where (paraphrasing) she said, =
“Libertarians (or was it Cato?) are just smart people getting paid to write things that make rich people feel better about themselves”
Its possible i’m conflating that with some other quip someone made, because its not as clever as i remembered it.
Oh. Dude, give a warning next time. I stopped giving a fuck what WW had to say around the time he wrote his “the Libertarian Case For Bernie Sanders” nonsense.
When he talks about *anything*, will, it bears little resemblance to reality. if that’s your preamble to start waxing statistical about cities, you need to try harder.
Footnote = WW, last I checked, lived in fucking Iowa.
“Liberty” means creating a country based on free markets, build wealth and strong institutions, sit back and watch Public Choice Theory play itself out and live off the legacy as long as possible.
Canada enjoys more liberty than Americans do? What the fuck Canada is this person talking about, because it’s not the one I’ve been to.
Its the same trick i was talking about in the morning linx. statistical mendacity via “indexing”
One of those “Freedom” indexes, which weights ‘low economic inequality’ (read: Socialism) far higher than, you know, stuff like ‘the Bill of Rights’ or economic freedoms.
Wilkinson picked up his MFA in Creative Writing in 2015. Gotta put that new degree to work, ya know!
Wasn’t he in Chattanooga for a while recently? Nice town, just cosmopolitan enough so the douchebag could find some fellow expats to hang out and complain about the local culture with.
Yeah, that’s totally a figment of Trump’s imagination.
Totally. It’s perfectly safe to walk around most of West Baltimore, even at night. Someone’s led a sheltered life.
Cities are super cool.
If you’re rich. Like most of the people writing about them.
Enh, I think anywhere is cool if you’re rich. Me, where I grew up, the city was the cheaper option to the suburbs. Yeah, it was the Rust Belt but still not every “city” is NY or SF.
If I ever fell into high 8-low 9 figure wealth I’d move to Mississippi.
Hey, there’s even dangerous parts of San Francisco. Less than there were 20 years ago, but still a pretty good sized swath of the city.
Just got off the phone with my mom. Anyone in the mid-Atlantic know where I can rent a woodchipper? I need it for my brother in law… to help him with some plants. Yep. That’s it. Definitely not to put him in feet first (becausethatwouldbetoogoodforhim).
I’m in the middle of America and i have a log splitter, a square baler, and an auger. Also a tractor to run them all of of. It’s not quite a woodchipper, but if you use you imagination, I bet you can make it work.
Fun Fact, those torture items, like the Iron Maidens were never actually used. They were used as Victorian era freak show attractions. “Look at how backwards our ancestors were!, ” and they would sell tickets.
Even the Inquisition rarely bothered with big showy torture. If you have a basic toolbox with a hammer, pliers, a screwdriver, some rope and bits of wood, you can torture the hell out of anyone. Hell, if you have two canoes, a tarp, and some milk and honey, you can execute someone in probably the worst way to die ever. (The link is SFW, but probably Not safe for mind.)
Will this fit.
What did he do?
My sister finally decided to leave his abusive ass, and they’re going through divorce proceedings now. He’s determined to make everything about it a living hell. His parents have $$$, and they’re funding the lawyer. He’s continually lying to the lawyer about pretty much everything.
The worry is that my nephew apparently has been saying they’re going to Israel during the summer. I’m convinced that if he takes the boys to Israel they’re not coming back. He can disappear into one of the Orthodox communities there.
Yank the passport. They need your sister’s permission to leave.
I planned a trip to the Bahamas a few years ago, and applied for a passport for youngest. Both parents have to be present, or you need a notarized authorization from a parent who isn’t present.
I appeared in person with my kids, with the notarized application from my wife, and everything was fine. They accepted the submission.
I got a call from the National Passport Center in New Hampshire a few weeks later, and they had caught a tiny discrepancy. The notary stamp and the signed date were different by 1 day. They rejected the application.
The State Department takes custodial kidnapping VERY seriously. If you’re serious about this, tell your sister. DO NOT authorize travel.
Seconded. They need both parents for the passport. The trip does sound very suspicious , and once he is there it would be very hard to get kids back.
Is this related to the gun question you asked a few months ago?
I may or may not have some experience with what you’re talking about. If you read this article, I’m the “Sister’s family in California”.

Damn, that sucks. Is the guy still a threat? I can’t imagine how insanely enraged I would be if someone was threatening my family like that.
He gets out in a year. I can’t kill him until then. In self defense, obviously.
Indeed.
I live in the mid Atlantic. It’s an interesting term, mid Atlantic. I think someone invented that just to prevent another civil war, because you can definitely start a fight here arguing over whether Maryland is part of the south or part of the north.

Wooly mammoths to fight climate change!

Yeah, allowing millions of square miles of Russian territory to become productive would be terrible.
Look, Russia is already a big enough threat, what with hacking our democracy and all. Imagine if they could actually grow stuff. I really hope that humanity learns a hard lesson from this climate change freakout shit, because we actually have technology to record all of this now. Somehow our ancestors survived an entire fucking ice age where the temperatures were way lower than they are now, but now we can’t survive a 1 degree C temperature change with all the technology we have. Sad.
“nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”
That part’s been amended changed to ‘or if we think you might have some drugs or maybe did have some drugs, or just FTYW’.
Hey hyp. you posted that earlier today on a thread I was involved in. The drug war bit me today. see up thread. I think you jinxed me.
Sorry to hear that. I think I may be, seriously, the first person ever fined in Indiana for not wearing my seat belt. I was driving home one day and I passed a cop coming opposite direction. I was doing about 68 in a 55 zone, but when I saw him, coming over a little hill, it was too late to slow down. Next thing I know, he’s behind me with his lights on.
He asked me if I’ve been drinking, which I had been, but not much. So I said ‘yeah, few beers, doubt I’m near the limit’. He asked me to take the breathalyzer and I failed it, which sort of surprised me. So we go for a drive to the nearest station, where I passed the test, so he had to take me back to my car. He then writes me a fine for not wearing my seatbelt, which I wasn’t. I told him honestly, I didn’t know any such law exists. It went into effect the day before. But I was pretty relieved to not get a DUI instead of seat belt fine, so I didn’t argue.
I got pulled over a couple of years ago in TN and the guy asked me the question you talked about ‘Do you have any illegal drugs in the car?’. WTF? I said no and that was it. I had a headlight out, so I went on my merry way.
It just gets worse and more intrusive by the day, we’re losing our rights a little at a time as the police state ramps up. It’s the old frog in the pot and turning the heat up a little at a time thing.
the has been a seat belt law on arkansas for a long time. About 8 years ago the law was changed to where you could be pulled over for violating it, not just ticketed after the fact.
It seems like a small thing, but it that what led me down the path that ultimately ended up in libertarianism.
what the fuck business is it of the state whether or not I am using a personal safety device? My life is mine and not theirs. If I choose to take a risk, that is my decision. It harms no one but me.
Seatbelt laws were actually the proverbial straw that broke the camels back for me.
Seat belt laws are for revenue generation, and have nothing to do with safety. Here in MD, they passed a law a year or so ago to ban driving while holding a cell phone in your hand. It is UNIVERSALLY ignored. You cannot even get people her to obey any traffic laws, let alone keeping them off their phone. And the state knows that, but it gives them one more excuse to pull you over, fine you, and if they’re really, really lucky, find some drugs, which will give them excuse to take your stuff with no due process of law, something clearly unconstitutional.
The WOD is one of the worst violations of human rights in the history of the USA. And we’ve managed to spread this abomination around the world.
I could talk about this all night. Seemingly small things turn into power grabs by the government. I was an hour late getting hime tonight and will probably end up 175 dollars poorer. Doesn’t seem like much, but it is. Ticky tack laws have normalized to most Americans the idea that it’s the government’s job to keep you safe.
TSA, DHS, DEA, FBI, all were created to keep Americans safe. What they actually do is gradually erode the liberty of every American while providing little safety and a lot of infringement of the rights of every American to be FREE.
I am responsible for my own safety and that of my family and I need no government assistance. If only more Americans thought like I, then we could all be Free.
When CA passed its seat belt law, they PROMISED it would be a secondary violation. No pulling people over for not wearing seat belts. There had to be some other primary violation.
Guess what happened a few years later?
They were true to their word and everything became wonderful?
More Super Derp from the Atlantic.
Comey says
Comey says? Is this the same Comey who was just recently vilified for announcing that Hillary was still under investigation? The guy who was proclaimed by the left to be worse than Hitler?

“Man on the street” quote just heard on the Daily Organ (i.e. morning local news):
