Desperate ruling class on sinking ship put on tinfoil hats and furiously rearrange deck chairs.
*munching popcorn*
Damn straight. Never turn your back on a turtle.
Or stick your hand in a giant catfish mouth.
Like this?
Oh yeah, the noodling thing. Have you ever done that? I can tell you right now, even a catfish a couple of pounds will smash the fuck out of you fingers if you stick them in their mouth. They have very powerful jaws. When I was a kid, I took one of my younger cousins fishing and he caught a nice sized bullhead. I told him that he could just stick his hand in the mouth to get the hook out because they have no teeth. I think he was 8 years old and I was 12. He was bawling ‘he bit me, he bit me!’. LOL.
Have I done that? Hell no. That is some extreme redneck fishing there. Way out of my league.
Well, I’ll go back to my original post then and tell you ‘do not stick your hand into a giant catfish mouth’. I mean, unless you’re into pain. Sure a couple cases of beer will dull it, but you’re gonna be feelin it tomorrow.
Some people do that down here but it is not common. You may note that a lot of those noodling videos have warnings on them and for good reason – “Do not try this in areas where alligators live”
A flappin catfish clinched to your forearm would never attract a gator. Probably scare them away fer sure.
I think the main danger is that you would end up putting your hand into a gator’s mouth instead of a catfish’s maw. It would be an easy mistake to make. Gators hang out in the same kinds of places and have a bite reflex to anything touching or moving near the end of their snout. An alligator also has the strongest jaws currently on the planet and stronger jaws than any extinct creature save the T-Rex. This is because they eat armored turtles for a living. They can crunch up a loggerhead like you crunch potato chips. You can imagine how that would go for a human arm.
Oh ya, I didn’t think of that. I am sure that could be a problem. I have worked in swamps. I am not a fan.
In OK they do it in the creeks. The big catfish live in the old rusted out cars that have been pushed in. It is a good way to drown even if no gators are around.
My father caught a 67 lb catfish in the spillway of a major reservoir back in the 90s. It was in all of the local papers. It took him more than 30 minutes to wear this thing out and finally get it in. They’re very powerful, even a 5 lb one can put up a hell of a fight on light tackle. A really big one is no doubt very dangerous in the water.
I’m not even getting into any water where there’s gators. In Brazil where my wife and I have a place, there are signs on the beach about every 1000 feet warning you to not go into the water at high tide. That’s because there are great whites the size of school buses who will eat you in one bite. I don’t even go in the water at low tide because one of the first times we were walking together on the beach there, there was a jelly fish washed up on the beach that was bright florescent pink. Fuck that shit.
I’d think fucking jellyfish would be painful.
To each his own, however.
Pro-tip: Warm water sharks are bad enough. Cold water sharks (specifically those that prey primarily on pinnipeds) are exponentially worse. I will take a gator any day.
And the pussification of America continues.
Back in my Boy Scout days it wasn’t that uncommon to see alligator tracks on the beach. On the off chance one of the gators tried to carry off a camper, the scout masters had rifles. Plus there were like 20 kids with pocket knifes, ready to take a stab at a gator. Gators are dumb. but they’re not that dumb.
“The allegations of Russian collusion that we made up”
I lol’d.
I agree with the man, let’s see em.
I just came here from reading the LA Times latest Sunday Editorial meltdown
(h/t instapundit)
This comic strip actually reads far more like ‘serious news by serious journalists’ than does the above editorial.
LA Times. There’s your problem, you’re not reading a newspaper, you’re reading birdcage liner. Everyone knows birds like to poo on other pieces of shit.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BzjLlqIuVhI
I tried to read that today. I gave up.
From the comments:
“It was no secret during the campaign that Obama was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a “catastrophe.”
This is more accurate. I dont recall them running around with their hair on fire in 2008. I do recall them hiding (still hiding) a video of Obama shmoozing with sworn enemies of the United States. I dont think the ‘catastrophe’ that they mention with regards to Trump is the one they want you to think they mean.
It would suit me fine if every one of them were to kill themselves.
Also, the article shows up on my screen in ‘blind old person / child learning to read’ size print. Why on earth would that be?
You’re either a blind old person, or a child learning to read? :-p
I’m guessing you hit Ctrl-V and and accidentally changed your font size.
I still sub their twitter and it alternates between Very Important Entertainment News and level 10 derp. And what’s so sad is they have a few good investigators for local matters (when they can be arsed to look into it) but the rest of it is turned into garbage.
lolwut?
That’s as far as I got.
For his next trick, he’s going to kill all the fish in the desert.
Every time I think their projection can’t get more shameless, they manage to out-do themselves.
They may not have any brains, but by gawd they have feelings!
Not giving is taking. It is known.
Dude, that’s a line that Pelosi was using before the Tryancare debacle.
I almost posted that earlier this morning. Good gawd, the smell of TDS is strong in the morning.
OK, I made it a little further.
LOL are they serious? When did the left become Tories?!
Oh lord.
A series of endless fun.
It’s amazing how in just the last several months, the left have suddenly discovered such things as Jesus, Democracy, the Constitution, the 2nd amendment, etc. All things they have always been swearing do not exist. It really cannot get any funnier than this, can it?
I’ve had a series like that – many trips to the bathroom, solid to liquid to gas.
That was glorious.
The stench of progressive smugness in that board room must be such that not even Febreze could take away the scent.
I’m officially pulling for Trump.
Who of us cannot help but identify with the simply-stated needs of Mr. Icehole?
He looks familiar.
He gets around.
I feel Mr Icehole speaks for us all.
This icehole don’t need no one speaking for him. Being an ice comes natural to me.
Becky, Svetlana, Maria: foursome material
Try to figure out if they’re actually SJW’s in the real world first, if they are give them a fake number,name, and address.
Nuclear launch detected:
McConnell Says Gorsuch Will be Confirmed This Week, With or Without Democrats
The D’s are finally figuring out the genie isn’t going back into the bottle.
Anyone want to take a guess about which Dems will fall into the bottle about this?
All of them I hope.
Well, it’s not like we don’t all already know that, or even the Democrats do not know that. I mean, sure, the peasant left who believe in things like bigfoot, space aliens, Russian election hacking, and White Squaw recount efforts, believe it. But outside of that, we all know Gorsuch is getting confirmed one way or other.
I was more referring to the nuclear option. The dems in their absolute hubris opened that pandoras box thinking they were gonna own that shit forever. Now that they’re getting a nice dose of their own salty medicine they’re crying foul. The Rs may be stupid but they at least know turnabout is fair play. I honestly should be surprised the dems are crying about the nuclear option without a shred of irony but since they literally have no self awareness it’s become par for the course.
Yes, I know what you were saying. I was just agreeing that the guy is getting confirmed, one way or other, and everyone who is not misinformed, knows this.
Politicians aren’t incentivized to think beyond their next election.
Politics as a career is something that needs to be ended.
Show me on the doll where the selfless public servant hurt you.
This part right here where I want to shove something spiked and burning up.
Crap; you have to use HTML attributes for the greater and less than tags even when you’re creating a nonsense tag.
[points to every part of doll]
There’s a very easy way to do this. Make politics a thankless job. Pay them a pittance, strip their pseudo celebrity status, make them pay their own way, and the grifters will leave like rats off a sinking ship.
Well, that’s certainly a good start. I concur.
Here’s a good amendment: a politician cannot be paid more than the lowest paid legally employed person in their district. Of course we would also have to abolish mandatory minimum wage as well. We could also pay them the mean of their district.
How bout simply…one and done?
We should call them “Boy” and “Girl”. Treat them like the hired help they are, not like they’re above us.
The perks of Congressional office are such that every one of them would actually pay for the job if it was required.
Can you imagine having a job with immunity from insider trading yet with the power to affect the stock market and individual stocks ?
It really does boggle the mind that someone like Bernie Sanders can still be worth relatively nothing. Like, how dumb of a fucking human being do you have to be not to get rich in Congress?
“Politics as a career is something that needs to be ended.”
This X 10,000.
A single term. That’s a single term in any elected government position. Not a term in the house and another in the senate. When elected, all of their assets go into a non-interest-earning trust and may be accessed 10 years after their term has ended. It may not be reinvested…ever.
Pay them well. At the completion of their single term, they receive a 100% retirement, adjusted for inflation, for the remainder of their (and their spouse’s lives). The catch is that they may never work or receive another dime of compensation from any other source.
I’m with ya. Take out all the power and all the payoffs. Make it a good deal while eliminating the incentive to prop up cronies.
I would have said two but I wouldn’t fight you over one. If you have a good one keep around for another term but not so many that they get corrupted. Or just one’s good.
I think there should be filibusters, but they have to be of the Jefferson Smith standing on the Senate Floor reading from Advise and Consent type of filibuster, not the technical filibuster we have now.
News seems to be pushing the “there aren’t enough votes to confirm Gorsuch neener neener” narrative, I presume that’s so when the Reid option is deployed, they can act ~shocked at the fascist Repubs daring to do such a thing.
sigh. it’s so boring and transparent.
note: Denver J and other phone users – you might find this more better for yer phone.
Just make sure to come right back here ‘cus that’s just a ‘storage’ site.
It’s asking me for my password….
No shit? Fuuuck. Sorry,man
AFAIK, there are no security locks on my ‘reservoir’ site – but I don’t go there with my phone.
I was there on my desktop, and it was asking me for my email address/password. I tried my email address/password here, but it didn’t work. I don’t have a general WordPress account.
I honestly don’t know. I went to my WordPress page/Site Info, and I don’t have any limitations that I can see.
I blame Linux.
Windows would have given me a BSOD and tried to install gigs of Cortana shit.
Yeah, Windows sucks, but I was mainly making an avatar joke.
I need an opinion. Is this serious or is it satire? I’m leaning towards satire, but I know people really think this way, so I’m confused.
I think it’s real.
One of the links in the sidebar is My year without Facebook. Somehow, I’ve survived much longer than a year without Facebook.
Who can even tell any more.
My take is that is the section requesting reader submissions. I think the dude believes what he is writing. Many comments call him out for it being a crazy thought.
Hm…I’m going to go with fake, without clicking. Usually these people who argue these things are so deep in the derp vortex that they don’t recognize that they are calling for an exception to free speech. They simply declare that hate speech isn’t free speech so that they can maintain that they totally support it still, and do jazz hands celebrating how clever they are afterwards.
Satire
Ahem.
Bearing covered this in a video before Sargon just the other day too. The mask really is slipping off from the far left radicals.
“picking cotton” is bragging rights to the schools who earned the invitation to play in the Cotton Bowl.
idiots all
And, Stuff links to Washington Post happy that judges don’t want Trump to have 1A rights.
That is another article I tried to read today and gave up on. Stuff is a NZ site that all the kiwi’s I worked with visited regularly. They do a daily trivia quiz thing that all the helicopter pilots would get together and do.
You human encyclopedias and nerds would do well.
Well, except on the NZ-related questions.
I’m reminded of the BBC show Brain of Britain, which really should be called Brain of Things Having to Do With Britain. They had a question once on what Americans call a coffin. (As if we don’t use that word.) Everybody was stumped.
Were they fishing for “casket”? I had to dig that up in a thesaurus; I never use that word.
People on this side of the pond don’t know the word “casket”?
Sadly that is not parody. It sure as hell puts a lot of comedians out of work, but not parody. Behold the face of useful idiocy in all of its glory.
Chile is looking better every day.
So they’ve extended the QWERTY line yet again. So, what do those two As stand for?
Pro tip: Never go drinking with Swiss when you have an hour drive home.
Our Swiss of the Narrowed Gaze, or Swiss people in general?
(When the Swiss get drunk, they try to fuck the holes in Swiss cheese.)
WHY NOT?! I told you that stuff was a bit on the strong side. Plus, there are plenty of public restrooms between here and home.
P. S. Thanks for the pizza.
It was deep dish pizza wasn’t it?
No, it was real pizza. And it was magnificent.
Ah yes, I love Little Caesar’s take-away too.
Cat butt needed on Aisle 5!
Believe it or not, it wasn’t.
You are both in Illinois, so I suspect it is like a Muslim lying about the faith to avoid death/injury.
Also, thanks again, BP, for another episode of Secret Nazi President. Looking forward to see what Secret Nazi President does next. I’m sure it’s killing the climate.
Seconded
Thanks, to both of you.
Thirded. I look forward to next episode each week. Of Secret Nazi President. Who is a secret Nazi.
Indeed. It is something I look forward to as well..
Thanks again. It is appreciated.
I like the hot chicks. I’m pathetic, I know.
With the whole milk is a sign of white supremacy line from the left, I was just wondering how long until cum is added to the list of things that are oppressive symbols of the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. I mean, beyond the feminists who already argue that all penetration by a penis is rape.
I’m just concentrating on drinking more milk and cumming more.
cum is added to the list of things that are oppressive symbols of the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy.
That is why you are supposed to get rid of it as often as possible.
Way ahead of you. I’m pretty much typing with one hand at all times.
Nice.
There are already feminists that think blowjobs and facials are degrading and sexist.
Oh… you mentioned feminists in your post. Sorry. Carry on.
If blacks are better endowed down there, do they also produce more ejaculate?
Yes.
Why am I not surprised you keep stuff like this in your bookmarks?
How long have you been reading HM’s links? He is fascinating, alarming, disturbing and always interesting.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I don’t normally click on HM’s links….
I’m not falling for it this time.
I’m thinking they’re setting up Summer to be Rick’s true apprentice. Morty will always just be Morty, a more courageous version of Jerry but still mostly a non-entity.
Summer, though, in this last episode showed some amazing insight and was not bothered in the least by all the killing and destruction. And even enjoys it.
So after our opening-day trout shame, we went back out this afternoon and jurisita pulled in a lovely brookie; which was duly pan-fried as an appetizer before the steak main course. I have been outfished [again] by my wife, I will be drowning my sorrows the rest of the evening.
