Zardoz has neglected to add a title to his Sunday links, as I’m sure is his will.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN AND OBSERVANT ONE. BRUTAL J. BLUSTER HAS DONE WELL. HELP YOURSELF TO SOME EXTRA GUNS.
SMLEs?
So… Zardoz is Sloopy? CONFIRMED!
Shit, I wish!
So, if China does decide to forcefully inset itself into Taiwan, does Donald Trump swoop in like MAGA Prime to save the day, or do we let the chinamen fight it out amongst themselves for a bit first?
You do like all great domineering species….YES
“elements of the expanded Marine Corps would be stationed abroad, including Djibouti in the Horn of Africa and Gwadar in southwest Pakistan.”
Taiwanese brutals shouldn’t be the only ones getting nervous.
Yeah, this deployment could affect the world balance of power. For example, it may shake Djibouti.
Oman, that was terrible.
Swiss signal lit.
Why the Chile reception to his pun?
Oh, Saud off, my pun was great.
This whole subthread is making me Hungary. Im gonna go make myself a Turkey sandwich.
Or Sardinia on toast.
Of Corsica you’d say that.
This Congo on much longer.
It’s pretty safe Tibet that it Canada.
This all sounds so Philistine.
Some can handle it, some Canaan’t.
Oman, these puns are getting ridiculous!
Sheik Djerbouti?
I knew that had to be a Zappa link. Yay.
Zappa earned me my first visit to a teacher as a parent. I found out that we were moving to Montana from Arizona so of course I broke out my Zappa. Well the song before “Moving to Montana” was “Dynamo Hum” which caught my daughters fancy. After a few days of the album playing on a repeating basis my daughter’s 2d grade teacher calls and asks to “chat” with us. Luckily we sailed with her and her husband but still……
So I go to meet her and she informs me that my daughter has been singing parts of “Dynamo” and well, she was sure my daughter didn’t realize the subject matter but if other kids started singing it to their parents issues may arise. I thanked her and put Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “Down at the Twist and Shout” on heavy rotation-problem solved.
No idea about Pakistan but China’s been cultivating “friendships” in Africa for a while now.
China and Pakistan are BFFs.
A Chinese diplomat once remarked to his American counterpart that “Pakistan is our Israel”.
Huh – I probably should have known that. But I hear a lot more about their cozying up to African countries in the media,
The African interest is primarily for natural resources.
Only natural resources Pakistan has is goat shit and madrassas. But what Pakistan is is a counterweight to China’s regional rival, India.
I am so in the wrong business. What does it take to be mayor in Chicago? I have no soul to sell, so that’s out…
I don’t know what is so special about this. If Rahm was as smart as the Clintons then he could have set up a charity and then he could have accepted unlimited “donations”.
Also the Deblasio route.
What might that be, just out of curiosity?
I like asking proggies if it’s reasonable for Bill and Hillary to be so rich.
Usually they just get mad, or say that they’ve somehow earned it. Because you know, a side effect of being in government should be to get super rich, and they definitely didn’t sell out America in exchange…
Selling your own soul well only get you to alderman. You want the mayorship you have sell other people’s souls.
I fly in/out of Midway a lot and it is one of the worst places in the world to try to buy a drink. I have no idea why all the bar tenders there are so horrible, but they are. I had one bartender turn her back on an entire crowd and take her break. As she would helpfully shout at us, her relief hadn’t shown up so she had no choice but to take her break right there where we could all see her. Only place in the world, I don’t feel bad about leaving $0 for a tip. I can’t conceive how they could give worse service next time I show up.
A coworker and I have speculated that we could make $$$$ by simply selling pint cans of beer for $10 each out of a tub of ice in one of the concourses. No credit cards, cash only.
I always assumed that the grift would be steeper than that.
Oh yeah, since this came up a few days ago:
Shaq claims he was joking about the flat earf thang.
So, was he really trolling? Or did he decide he was being stupid and is now covering? Discuss.
Gilmore’d the link

Much like actors and politicians, I assume all athletes are functionally retarded and pay little mind to their opinions.
he was obviously trolling.
he said he often drove cross country.
I doubt that seriously
Shaq doesn’t drive. He posts up.
I’ma calling a technical
On absolutely no evidence whatsoever, I believe he was joking.
So was Agile Cyborg the costume designer for the movie Zardoz?
Theres a movie Zardoz
?
Yes.
Don’t. Just don’t, they tricked with all this Zardoz business and I watched it. Trust me when I say this, If your only options are to watch Zardoz, read Gravity’s Rainbow, or listen to Pet Sounds…. swallow your tongue.
‘tricked me’
I was once tricked into watching the trailer for the Human Centipede. Totally not cool.
Both Gravity’s Rainbow and Pet Sounds are great and personal favorites. Zardoz was always pretty terrible: another of the long string of science fiction films made by people with no real sense of the genre.
Driven to the police station in Hastings, East Sussex, Mr Simou was locked in a cell for seven hours before finally being interviewed.
‘The first thing I asked was: “Why am I here?” ’ said Mr Simou.
This is not my beautiful home.
I sometimes wonder if greed is addictive like a drug. People are pushing 80 and they’re still trying to fuck people over to expand their property.
Why do you think people stay in politics their whole life?
“Francis allegedly entered the back yards of more than one home and shined a flashlight inside until he got someone’s attention. Then, as the person was looking at him, Francis shined the light on himself to show he was fondling himself, the sources said.”
This will surely help improve relations between citizens and the police.
You misunderstand… someone he recently pulled over told him to go fuck himself… he just wanted to prove police do listen to their taxpayers.
Sounds like he wanted to get caught. That is a very odd form of self-destructive behavior. Unless he just figured that there would be no repercussions since he’s a cop. That’s certainly understandable.
I agree. He’s there to lend a hand. To plant seeds of friendship.
Let me find find my shocked face. Remember those two guys trying to shoot up the draw Mohammed contest? You’ll never guess who was in the car behind them.
I actually am a little surprised. I know the FBI drops the ball more than the Cleveland Browns but what exactly did they think these two guys were gonna do once they got there? Participate? Hold up signs outside?
Reading a series of tweets like that makes me want to swallow a revolver.
You’re doing it wrong.
At least I won’t have to clean it up.
Something I was wondering about the other day. We know the Feds actually instigate and create many of these terror plots. I just wonder if the Feds ever lose track of any of these guys once they’ve fired them up to take action. Maybe the guy backs out of the FBI plot and then later does something on his own. But never would have if the Feds didn’t give him the idea to begin with.
You don’t think our government would intentionally create terrorists and incite attacks in order to justify the expansion of their own power do you? That’s conspiracy level stuff.
/adjust tinfoil hat
You mean like suppling guns to the Mexican drug cartels and then feeding the media stories about how easy it is for the cartels to get guns because of our “lax” gun laws? No, they would never do anything like that.
Or supplying?
Last I heard, Obama had stonewalled a FOIA request for documents related to fast and furious. As far as I know, all the agents involved in that little scheme are still employed by the ATF and some have even been promoted. I was hopeful that a change in administration would allow that particular scandal to finally break open and maybe get some heads rolling at th ATF. I haven’t heard anything new since Trump took over. Maybe the story just lost its legs.
As an aside, how is it our problem if a neighboring country outlaws something and fails to stop it at their border? That’s a goofy concept.
Would we also have to set tighter restrictions on pornography since people from Saudi Arabia probably get on American porn sites? No, it’s legal in this country, and if they can’t keep their citizens from accessing it, that’s THEIR problem.
The Ft Dix attack was foiled by the video developer at the local mega-store. He had been asked to assemble the videos of shooting and “military style stuff” including chanting of “Alluha Akbar” by the people and called the police. The FBI ignored it for months before deciding to put in the paid informants. When the attack was busted one of the participants said they were going to infiltrate by posing as Dominos delivery men.
At the time Ft Dix was being used as a major mobilization site and there were dozens of pizza guys each night. It was a decently planned out attack.
So while I agree that the FBI is sometimes setting out the conditions for disturbed people to plan things they might not otherwise- sometimes they do stumble on the real deal.
I think you missed the story on that page.
Mallory from ‘Family Ties’ sets everyone straight on United and #LeggingsGate
Apparently the feminist hill to die on of the day is private companies having dress codes? The horror!
And she’s the sharpest knife in the drawer here – I love it.
(Young’ns: she played a dummy on the show.)
Once you’ve won, aren’t you supposed to quit fighting?
I can’t be the only one who gives absolutely no shits about this, right?
And the feminist response is that United should change their policy.
I posted that story as a joke because AP and Reuters had something about it.
I had no idea it was a story with legs (*BOOM: PUN DROPKICK)
no but seriously, is this what we’ve come to? easily-upset-woman tweets outrage that girl had to put pants on = celebrity world sets itself on fire debating it? its stuff like this that makes me wish ISIS would actually hit hollywood.
Medal madness, from wiki
oh fiddlesticks. That was supposed to go down below.
My sister was born on the very same day as Justine Bateman. (Same year, not just sharing a birthday.)
Why the fuck would anyone tweet something they could just simply post in paragraph form somewhere? OR JUST TWEET FUCKING LINK
it seems the dumbest way to try to communicate anything other than “OMG OUTRAGED”
Jesus fucking christ. Are there any domestic terror attacks in the last 10 years they haven’t either :
a) known about in advance
or
b) materially supported?
You don’t remember the Y’all Qaeda terrorists that took over the wildlife refuge in Oregon last year. The FBI didn’t seem to involved in setting that up and they heroically killed that stupid redneck leader of theirs.
Chuck Schumer? Pam Geller? Robby Soave?
Sean Connery’s tan line is not consistent with his diaper-suspenders. FAKE!
I’m glad someone checked this
Maybe he has a beach outfit.
I’m with Alexander Pope. Puns are the lowest form of humor/wit.
Though, I am an avid fan of Beavis and Butt-Head, so… so I think I know what I’m talking about.
By lowest, you mean best, right?
Would you please Beavis alone?
Those neighbors from hell deserve death.
OT
I knew Muslims are supposed to only eat with the right hand, but it turns out the rule is even more specific. You’re only supposed to use your thumb, forefinger, and index finger.
Oh, and also Satan eats with his left hand. You don’t want to be like Satan, do you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7uzLKp2vho
The reason muslims only eat with their right hand is cause they wipe their ass with their left. No I am not joking either.
It’s the only way to wipe when you love in a desert with no natural foliage and you can’t seem to develop a society advanced enough to manufacture toilet paper.
Venezuelan’s could benefit from this method.
Couldn’t they just use their worthless currency, I mean it worked for the Germans.
Hence ‘cack-handed’.
Detective Francis is a Public Dick?
Uniform games
“The OG-107 was the basic work utility uniform of all branches of the United States Armed Forces from 1952 until its discontinuation in 1989.”
Well, that’s…great. That makes way more sense than what I’m used to.
“The Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) are camouflaged fatigues that were used by the United States Armed Forces as their standard uniform for combat situations from the early 1980s to the mid-2000s.”
Hmm, I guess camo is better, but I lean heavily towards “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
“The open-weave cloth construction of the BDU is also easily penetrated by insect bites in tropical, jungle, and other malarial environments, causing an increased risk of transmitted diseases such as malaria, even when pretreated with permethrin[12] or other repellent.[13] ”
Ooh, that’s bad.
I like the Israeli mustard-color uniform. It doesn’t quite blend in with anything, but it also doesn’t stand out.
I never understood why the color blotches are so small. once you get 100 ft away, all the colors blend together anyway. If you want the outline to be broken up a distance, you have to use big patches like German “lozenge” camo. Even that had its problems. Wiki sez:
“As with all camouflage, the need to hide or obscure the aircraft from the enemy was counterbalanced by the need to have friendly forces recognize the aircraft. Bold black and white Iron Cross or Balkenkreuz markings provided a way to quickly identify the aircraft and at the same time, such national markings’ high contrast elements detracted from the effect of the camouflage. Further, individual pilots often added their own personal coloration to aircraft that they flew regularly.[8] An individual might paint the nose and tail in bright, unique colors to distinguish him in the air from his squadron mates. All of these practices rendered the lozenge camouflage less effective.”
I like the WWI naval “dazzle ships” camouflage, though it supposedly didn’t work well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage
Also, the camouflage used by US sub hunting aircraft during WWII: they actually put lights on the underside, because that made them harder to spot against a bright sky.
I can’t speak for the OG work uniform but combat pajamas were super comfortable and not the worst thing in the world to PT in. Only complaint were the waist tightening clasps digging into the hips occasionally.
Bring back zouave uniforms!
Trump bills Merkel for Nato
The responses are too painful. The reflexive “nuh-uh” and refusing to even acknowledge the point really makes me worry.
Well, the meet up went poorly. Litton, or whatever his handle is, said something really rude to Western slope, who broke a beer bottle on the table and tried to slice Litton with it. Litton pulled out some Kung Fu, but then security was all over us. Doomco kicked the biggest guy in the crotch, and started doing the haymaker.
I just hid under the table with my drink.
You boys been violatin the NAP. Shame on you.
Oh it was a glorious pandemonium. I ended up grabbing the till as they were changing shifts. I ran out the door and jumped on the light rail.
We’ll have to do it again.
I pictured that you recreated this scene. (NSFW language and violence) It’s a total violation of the NAP, but rules were meant to be broken, and if you have to break them, break them good and hard.
OT: Many of the buildings out by me are named after military linguists who died in battle. Here is the story of one of them I wanted to share.
War sucks. People die.
People who join the military are generally not bloodthirsty monsters who sit in dark rooms, sharpen knives, and pray for war. Even the ones the most gung-ho for killing do so out of a desire to fight evil.
Well, just a little ramble. It’s hard to sleep sometimes.
Good night, y’all
People who join the military are generally not bloodthirsty monsters.
My little brother joined the army to get himself out of a hole he was continually digging himself into. He did 3 years and a combat tour in Iraq. He has a combat infantry badge and I know he was directly engaged at least once, but he won’t talk about it really. War is hell. It changed my brother, not necessarily for the worse, but I can tell he is different. Not as carefree as he was.
I’m glad your brother made it home okay. Combat service often carries an internal price that can make you less carefree than you were, but on the other hand you learn what is really important and value that. Just keep being a brother to him and almost every time it all works out okay.
