Happy Halloween. Don’t forget to send any good pictures to submit@glibertarians.com. We won’t post them, but we will examine them very closely.
Hopefully everyone is ducking out of work early to get on their “slutty tampon” outfits for parties. OMWC is trying to make sure that the rip in his pants is “just right”. I had to make an emergency run to the store, because my wife bought terrible candy. Terrible. I don’t want to wash shit or egg off my house and cars, so I’m going to just mix in some good stuff and hope we don’t get too many visitors. Then I’m hoping that Justin Verlander can get the first W by an Astros starter in this World Series. I bought some Monte Cristo beer. I have no idea if it is any good, but it cost half as much as good beer, so it only has to be half as good as the worst six-pack I ever paid $10 for.
Jadaveon Clowney, TOTALLY not taking a shot at the owner of his team. Just lazy.
Interesting link between the Protestant Reformation and hops in beer.
That sonofabitch Trump and his meddling FDA are going to destroy the soy industry! It now appears that eating lots of soy doesn’t actually help you live longer, it just feels that way.
Dick out. ‘Isn’t sexual harassment’ he sez.
Man bites dog story. Or rather stranger attempts to abduct 13 year old. Way to screw up OMWC’s favorite holiday.
Here’s a fun video for Halloween.

Cardinal Chupet takes a poop on the Protestant Reformation celebration
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/issues/october-13th-2017/luther-would-be-horrified-by-the-world-he-forged/
The fact that Luther didn’t intend to start his own church was made moot by the fact that the Catholic church persisted in what he pointed out as their errors. Much like the US revolution would probably not have happened if the myriad abuses of the crown outlined in the DoI were ended.
Luther’s issues were rather outlandish. So much so that when his representatives approached the Eastern Orthodox Church (which had split from the Catholic Church during the Great Schism) that they sided with the Catholics.
http://www.christianitytoday.com/history/2008/august/what-did-reformers-think-about-eastern-orthodox-church.html
Says the Catholic
Just messing with you guys.
But, seriously submit to Christ’s vicar in Rome
Oh, well, when you put it like that…
The Muslim loving Commie vicar?
If by “outlandish” you mean they were doing those things on purpose, then sure. They even kicked off a counter-reformation in order to answer back the criticisms raised by the Protestants.
As for the Eastern Orthodox siding with the Catholics, that only proves they were both wrong 😉
Enjoy your grapefruit juice and Wonder bread at your ‘mass’.

Lordy…like arguing with Confederate sympathizers….you lost, get over it.
*puts on Bach’s Ein Feste Burg ist Unser Gott*
Best communion I ever had at the Presbyterian church of my upbringing was pumpkin bread and Hawaiian Punch.
Yeah, once Luther told his superiors what was going on, they shushed him and told him not to rock the boat. Had they addressed his concerns openly, the whole shebang might not have gone down at all.

There was a girl dressed as a really hot kitty cat at the gym today.
It was very distracting.
There are so many innuendos to go with this. She obviously dressed like that for the obvious connotation.

“Dick out. ‘Isn’t sexual harassment’ he sez.”
The surprising thing is that Andy Dick still makes movies
“Dick out”

Always for Harambe..
The really surprising thing is that Andy Dick has the best take on the hysterics going on in Hollywood that I’ve seen to date.
When are we going to discuss all the serial groping taking place at airports?

That’s just a suggestion, kind of like 4-way stop signs.
yeah, but how would they know?
So, put a little “authorized” sticker on it.
Problem solved.
That is what I do now.
I’m lucky with where I work. My employer encourages me to be armed.
You either work for an armored truck company, Blackwater or a pawn shop in an unsavory part of town.
He could be a brutal enforcer.
Forgot that one. My bad.
Jewelry shops, too.
Nope. Nothing dangerous, no cash, and not a high risk area. My boss just likes the idea of me being armed, because you never know.
I sit at a desk most of the day doing paperwork. Well…and playing on the internet.
If they don’t define “authorized” or who has the authority to “authorize”, then fuck em.
Well…I may or may not be violating federal law at the moment, so no change in habits for me there.
NY police say it was two truck drivers in an argument, one running a bunch of people over in a rental u haul pickup, the other fleeing. can’t tell who shot.
Glib Safety Check-in:
I’m ok, everyone. I’m watching tv and waiting for the chinaman to deliver my food.
Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
He’s not going to ask to see a passport. That’s rude.
Last time the guy called from the car instead of ringing the bell. What’s the point of delivery? GTFO out of the car and use the ding-dong, ching chong
You keep talking like that and you’re gonna find a load of wing wong in your wontons.
That’s it!!!! You’re suspended for FIVE GAMES!! (Next year; the World Series is too important)
The Chinaman is not the issue!
Um… don’t you mean you’re waiting for your man to deliver your chinafood?
Don’t call him Chinese. He’s Japanese. Calling him Chinese is horribly insulting to him because the Chinks are beneath the Japs.

It is a rather ghastly tweet

What the fuck does “carry a pregnancy to term or give birth” mean?
In re: the attempted kidnapping
The reaction is EXACTLY what you would have expected. OMG THERE HAVE TO BE MORE COMING! IT’S AN EPIDEMIC.
So naturally, the Sheriff and the neighboring Police Department put up 2 extra helicopters this morning. Because they have magic child molester catching abilities or something.
Typical ‘do nothing’ libertarians, promoting child molesting.
500 years ago–today–Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of the All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, initiating what came to be the modern world.
Yeah, it’s big like that.
So you’re saying Comic Sans beats Times New Roman.
nice
So true
The thing about Luther was that it seems like a single post, but it was a lengthy post.
You see, in order to have the desired effect, sometimes a post needs to be more than three lines long.
Luther didn’t have anybody calling him laborious or wordy back then–and yet he’s go some 95 points to make?
I try to make more than one point in the same post, and I get DL;DR all the way down.
Am I comparing myself to Martin Luther?
Of course not!
Martin Luther was no good at commercial real estate, his motorcycling and surfing skills were nonexistent, didn’t know anything about punk rock, and he couldn’t make old ladies blush or college girls squeal like I do.

(*Maybe my favorite live performance on YouTube.)
Other than that, though, he achieved some things.
Way to martyr yourself Ken.

I don’t hate Rand.
I am angry at Rand Paul, and I’m waiting for him to make up for his misdeeds.

He martyred himself just like Eddie.
Marge: Are you comparing yourself to our Lord?!
Homer: Well, in bowling ability.
*arches eyebrow*
Have you read Diarmaid MacCulloch’s book on the Reformation?
Dense, but excellent
I’ll check it out!
He didn’t actually nail his theses to the door. He mailed them up his chain of command to try and get them to do something about a guy who was running a money-for-forgiveness carnival scheme.
As in, mailed letters to his bosses containing the theses.
Actually, he did both.
He mailed them and he nailed them to the door of the church(es).
I understand the church door fit the purpose of a scholarly journal back then.
Here’s what I sent the Bishop! Wanna discuss?
The printing press itself was still quite young.
Something I try to do all my dates.
*walks away like a pimp Presbyterian*
*walks away like a pimp Presbyterian*
I must admit to not having enough imagination to envision that.
**Does not compute**
The theses themselves weren’t nailed up, but rather it was an invitation to debate their contents, if I remember my schooling. Nobody answered the invitation. But, unbeknownst to Luther, printers were printing and selling the theses as pamphlets that spread pretty rapidly within Germany.
“I understand the church door fit the purpose of a scholarly journal back then”
Or village bulletin board.
Funny, that’s what we call your mom.
Ouch.

No. But just about any public interest story on the “interesting” history of alcoholic beverages is 90% shit and 10% real facts.
This site is acting squirrelly my posts keep failing.
I have a general rule — if a beer history article is not written by one of about 3 people, I assume it is primarily bunk.
It is probably not fair, but it seems to be the way to bet.
It was primarily bunk.

I hope the World Series goes Seven.
By that, I mean I hope someone delivers a box to Dave Roberts late in the game with a Clayton Kershaw’s Head in it!
Ahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Laugh, you morherfuckers! It’s funny both times I posted it. And I want some recognition. Because it was original.
What’s in the box?
Hahahahaha
Heh.
Better?
I don’t get it. Can you explain the joke?
The movie Se7en?
The joke is it’s your head in the box.
Oh, I get it. It’s more like the Bad News Bears when Walter Matthau brings in that girl to pitch though.
Yeah. Unfortunately Kershaw has looked like Rudi Stein in the postseason…as expected.
The rest of the press is turning on the Wall Street Journal editorial board for questioning whether it’s appropriate for Mueller to run an investigation against his own agency (the FBI) and his own disciple (Comey), and they’re also going after the Journal for calling for another independent council to investigate Hillary, the DNC, and the “golden showers” dossier.
Here’s Politico leading the charge against the WSJ.
“Murdoch-owned outlets bash Mueller, seemingly in unison”
After resisting opportunities to take Trump’s line on Russia, the Wall Street Journal editorial page goes all in.
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/30/murdoch-fox-mueller-trump-244333
Here’s the WSJ’s response from about an hour ago:
“The Press Loves Fusion GPS”
Politico fails to disclose that one of our critics works for Fusion
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-press-loves-fusion-gps-1509475567
They’ve been attacking the Journal since Trump was elected. I have a feeling that none of these critics have ever read their editorial page. And the Journal has opposed special prosecutors since the days of Ken Starr. This is such a bullshit outrage.
The Politico story gives them credit for attacking Trump.
They’re saying that Murdoch is putting the heat on the editorial board–or Murdoch’s acolytes are putting the heat on.
Notice, the attack is all about the Journal’s motives.
We’re rational libertarians. We see straight through that.
The question isn’t whether the Murdoch influences his editorial writers.
The question is whether Mueller has any business investigating his star disciple and former subordinates at the FBI and whether there should be an investigation of the Hillary campaign and the DNC using Russian intelligence services to dig up dirt on a rival candidate.
They can cry, “Murdoch” or “Koch Brothers” or “Racist” all they want. It simply isn’t about that.

*EDIT FAIRY CONSENTS*
Some of them, almost certainly. Others, not even with Winston’s dick.
What’s the passenger do? Hold his beer?
They have to start the race with a minimum weight. So they put a passenger in, weigh the car, start the race, and then the passenger’s job is to puke his guts out to save weight. Gallons and gallons of puke end up out the window. It’s the whole reason the sport has spectators.
Something tells me you are pulling my leg. Or jerking my chain. Not sure which.
You’re right, I am. The passenger has notes on the course and tells the driver what to expect in the upcoming turns. How they can keep track and read that thing in those conditions is beyond my comprehension.
I’d be barfing my brains out. I’d rather drive.
He’s totally serial.
Read out the upcoming road layout.

In honor of the holiday, the political affiliations of your favorite movie monsters:
Vampires: Urbane, cosmopolitan, vaguely foreign blood-suckers. This one’s a gimme. Democrats.
Werewolves: Rural hunters. Generally value kith and kin (i.e. the pack) over external social order. Republicans or Libertarians.
Ghosts: We all know dead people vote for Democrats.
Zombies: Yes, I know all about the notion of zombies as mindless Republican consumers. Sorry. It’s not cutting it. Again, we all know, dead people vote for Democrats. Anyway, Bob Hope agrees.
Witches: Aging crones who spend the majority of their time with their cats. Feminists and Democrats.
Bigfoot: STEVE SMITH spends enough time here that we can assume he’s a Libertarian.
Godzilla: Liberal Democratic Party
he destroys inner cities. duh.
Not gonna touch King Kong, huh? Probably for the best.
He likes penthouses and abuses women: republican, obv.
Nah that’s a Dem for sure. Or a professional athlete.
If I remember the movie correctly, King Kong was in show business. I’m guessing a Democrat.
I’d see libertarian, he just wants to be left alone on his island but The Man keeps fucking with him until he snaps and is murdered by The Government.
This. I bet some of those roars were actually “Fuck Off, Slaver”
Frankenstein’s Monster: Creative type that likes to sing and dance. Would take food and drink from a poor blind man rather than earning his own way. Has no soul.
Democrat
The Invisible Man: unaffiliated because the GOP won’t let him come out of the shadows.
Headed out in less than an hour for brewskis and probably some wings.
Dude – can we bring the brewskis?
What kind of wings?
Hot garlic. They actually have really good wings here. Very meaty, good sauces. Unfortunately not smoked. They smoke their own ribs and pork both are which are pretty good. 42 beers on tap. Starting with Great Lakes Nosferatu which is a delicious imperial Red.
I’m probably supposed to leave work soon to get ready for trick or treating.

That is sincerely fucked up. I have trouble wrapping my head around the kind of thinking that gets people to push these policies. I mean, I’m sure part of it is about squandering the tax payer’s money. Why couldn’t they spend all that cash on building parks and roads and shit like that? Something actually useful.
This is why Trump won and probably will again.
An by immigrants they mean illegals.

More Vegas shooter weirdness:
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/10/deep-state-deception-police-now-say-month-police-officer-discharged-weapon-paddocks-hotel-room/
Thank goodness they had all that “active shooter” training. Otherwise, who knows what kind of a mess this would have turned out to be.
Negligent discharge?
She hates it when that happens.
He was probably shooting at himself in a mirror.
LOL. Top notch professionals.
Inspector Clouseau would be a step up.
“This may also be the worst police investigation in US history.”
Sure. Well, OK, maybe top 5.
The official story on this is as believable as the plot to Wayne’s World. And I mean the Scooby Doo ending.
Good grief. I don’t think they’re ever going to get to the bottom of it. Early on, I thought they were keeping mum because it was possible he was aided by some terror group, and they were trying to roll up his accomplices. Now I’m just convinced the whole thing is a clusterfuck the likes of which they’ll never untangle.
I’m still doubting that the guy is even the shooter. The thing is just so fucked up. There’s no way the guy just plotted all this out with no motive whatsoever.
That’s where I’m at too. Too many holes for that to be the solution.
I’m with you. This dude was dead before the first window got broken.
Nah. They’re just covering up police incompetence.
Yeah, I keep trying to work out a scenario. I’m an analyst, so it’s natural for me to to do that anyway. But, here’s my tin foil hattery of the day.
The guy falls in with some shady characters. I mean he hangs out in Vegas and other high profile gambling scenes. So that wouldn’t be odd at all.
These guys kidnap him and he takes them to his home where they get all of his guns and ammo which he’s been bragging about having.
They take him to the hotel, execute him, do the shooting, make their escape and leave him to take the blame. They also probably stole his HD because there’s something on there related to them.
That’s crazy. But really, is it any crazier than no motive at all? Now what the shooters motive was? Islamic terrorism or gun control agenda 2 most likely.
My theory is that he’s been working with the CIA for a couple decades and the video poker player thing is his cover.*. He was setting up a fake buy for terrorists after accumulating all those guns at the behest of his employer.** The fake “buy” goes sideways and the terrorists use the one gun they brought to the party to kill as many people as they can and then hightail it out of there unseen.***
*-based on what I’ve seen, his winnings vs losses are off the charts from a probability standpoint. And he moves more than necessary for a pro gambler. Constant relocation is not uncommon for people maintaining covers once neighbors become too nosy or friendly.
**-He accumulates all of these guns legally so as to keep from blowing his cover. But he doesn’t really discuss the purchases with anybody in detail, whether to brag about them or share an interest with? Doesn’t go to any ranges in the area of his home or where he bought the guns?
***-not a single person staying on that floor put their head out a door to see what was going on? Nobody at all? That defies all human curiosity and common sense. That floor was “occupied” by people that checked in and never occupied the rooms so they could control the arrest when it went down. Only it didn’t, because the CIA had to bug out rather than get rolled up by the local cops.
hmmm.
Where does the Rand Corporation fit in?
Somewhere below the reverse vampires.
Seriously, Sloopy’s theory makes more sense than the official story by a long shot.
*rim shot*
*and another*
Well it sounds a hell of a lot more plausible than the official story. They’re doing stings like this all the fucking time. Why is it surprising that one eventually got away from them and shit went sideways?
How hard would it be for them to bring one long gun into that room with a suitcase full of ammunition (that’s supposed to be full of cash for the buy), and one pistol with a suppressor on it that they use to kill the dude with?
Pretty fucking easy.
The other thing that occurred to me is that the guy, who was supposedly a regular high profile gambler at the hotel, to the extent that they gave him a huge suite for free, is holed up in a room for days and no one sees him? No one saw him in the lobby all this time, but no one asked questions? Completely weird shit.
And then the event thing where some woman was telling people they’re all going to die. And nothing comes from that?
It’s all too weird.
And don’t forget that this guy is on average/subpar health. Doing what he did would require some serious stamina. I seriously doubt he was capable of carrying this out physically or mentally. Nothing from his past indicates he’s “off” or sadistic enough to do this. Absolutely nothing.
I’m sticking to my story until something more plausible comes along.
They’ve never gotten to the bottom of the Waco(?) biker shootout either, have they?
I’m sure they did, which is why we’re not ever going to hear about it.
I think it was something along the lines of “undercover BATF guys starts shit with undercover FBI guy, dozens caught in crossfire.”
That’s exactly what it was. The media was complicit.
I remember the meme that circulated shortly after:
“The white community needs to take responsibility for this violence!!!!!”
Well, actually……
I think they eventually determined that two bikers got into a fistfight in a bathroom and it spilled outside. When it did, one of the police officers that had staked out a shooting position fired, causing people to run. When they did, the rest of the cops opened fire and all those folks got hurt or died.
I’m being serious. That’s the last story I heard, which is why they’re not really charging anyone there with anything other than “accessory to” and “conspiracy to” crimes. In fact, I think they only found a couple weapons on premises, and those were secured in peoples saddlebags.
And every bullet found that forensics could identify cake from a cop’s gun.
I thought cop’s guns preferred doughnuts?
Cake doughnuts
Well, I mean there’s no way that anyone here can believe that cops fucked up and shot innocent people. Nice try though.
“Innocent of what?”
I keep forgetting about that guilty until you can prove innocence thing.

Wow, how original. How’d he ever come up with that?
They actually publish this shit under the heading “Analysis”.
Analysts predicted Chipotle would be the death of McDonald’s. They were wrong.
i like how if they find 2 or 3 idiots who take a contrarian POV, somehow that outweighs the 20+ others who said, “Fuck no, dude”
Gilmore’d.
I predicted the decline of Chipotle about 4 months before their all-time high. To me, it was somewhat obvious. They ran out of room for growth, both new locations and same-store.
I think that’s the only time I’ve cheered when I learned that people got food poisoning.
ha! this time i *intended* to thread it this way. All those stories are the WaPo “Wonkblog”. I think the term “Wonk” means ‘idiot’ in french.
“Whatever I did, I meant to do it!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hNIX7V21pU
Not to mention the utter lack of food poisoning.
Their HAACP protocols are damn near bulletproof. The only weak link is sick or malicious employees.
McDonalds used to *own* Chipotle. They didn’t divest themselves of the holding because they thought they’d be introducing a real competitor, that’s for sure.
Sounds like no one will be able to divine his motives.
We may never know why he did it.
I think that may have been from a throw-down recording device used by the police to provide instant motive. So racist!

“Sounded semi automatic”
Translation: “The noises sounded scary”
“How does something from a semi-automatic sound relative to a revolver? Just so I know for future reference.”
Because revolvers are totally manual musket loaders, amirite? You know, there’s a long pause between loading the powder and ball and actually shooting.
Did the gun have a thing that goes up?
The truck had a thing that goes up, it’s call a hood. Very scary. Ban hoods first, that’s a start!

Tribe considers plan to build tram, hotel in Grand Canyon
The meeting was interrupted by the arrival of a US cavalry officer, who quickly traded 100 bottles of firewater and ‘special blankets’ in exchange for the property.
Developers say the tram and accompanying retail and hotel sites at the East Rim could be running by May 2021 if everything goes as planned.
I can hear the opponents now: “Just say no to Rim jobs!”

That’s cool. When they do that maybe they will ignore their sacred land issues and let Flagstaff use fake snow.
“been reticent to develop sacred land”
That reminds me: How about everyone puts their “sacred land” into a government database?
I want a fucking map, IN ADVANCE, before development projects are proposed. The sacred land seems to pop up everywhere, and the timing is a little… suspect.
baaa, baa bumbaaaa, baaa buh baaaaaa
It’s ALL sacred. And the more you want it, the more sacred it is. Eventually, if you offer enough wampum, it’s magically no longer sacred.

Before my eyes, the headline on the Twitter Moment went from “shooting incident” to “incident.” Up until that point, the truck aspect of the attack had not even been mentioned.
I switched to my other account and managed to snap the old headline just as it started to change. Narrative manipulation in motion!
#NotAllLutherans is trending now
Narrative manipulation: people were posting “>Definitely Not Terrorism” before they even had any evidence on what was happening.
BBC now says no shooting, he had imitation guns. So maybe accurate?
Yeah, I think they quietly pulled down the shooting headline when they saw that wasn’t going to fly and are going to switch from the NEED GUN CONTROL narrative to ROAD RAGE IS A SYMPTOM OF WHITE SUPREMACY/THE PATRIARCHY.
Until they find out the guy was screaming Allahu Akbar…
SHHHHHHH
ISLAMOPHOBE
Supposedly the driver did.
He was screaming “aloha snackbar.” That means the capitalist system was crushing him and he wanted a vacation. Because he was overworked, he lashed out. #freemumia

Anti-semites continue to attack Ben Shapiro and his family. Good thing those smart college kids call a short Jewish man a ‘Nazi’ for not abiding by their group think.
Seriously, I’m liking this Ben Shapiro. Can libertarians adopt him if he promises to change his foreign policy positions?
Shapiro is a little too much conservative like for me. But there’s no doubt the guy is highly intelligent, has some sharp wit, and is very quick with it. This is why leftists hate him, they have none of those attributes. Yeah, if he can be a little more libertarian on foreign policy and some other things, I’m willing to adopt him. Milo too, and Lauren Southern, and Gavin McInnes. And especially Lauren Southern, cause in case no one noticed…
I’ll take Roaming Millennial, kthxbai
But the good thing is, I’m sure CNN is all over this.
I’d “adopt” the shit out of Lauren Southern.

ByMaurice Cobbson January 11, 2013
You’ve had a busy play day – You’ve wiretapped Mom’s cell phone and e-mail without a warrant, you’ve indefinitely detained your little brother Timmy in the linen closet without trial, and you’ve confiscated all the Super-Soakers from the neighborhood children (after all, why does any kid – besides you, of course – even NEED a Super-Soaker for self-defense? A regular water pistol should be enough). What do you do for an encore?
That’s where the US Air Force Medium Altitude, Long Endurance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RQ-1 Predator from Maisto comes in. Let’s say that Dad has been labeled a terrorist in secret through your disposition matrix. Rather than just arrest him and go through the hassle of trying and convicting him in a court of law, and having to fool with all those terrorist-loving Constitutional protections, you can just use one of these flying death robots to assassinate him! Remember, due process and oversight are for sissies. Plus, you get the added bonus of taking out potential terrorists before they’ve even done anything – estimates have determined that you can kill up to 49 potential future terrorists of any age for every confirmed terrorist you kill, and with the innovative ‘double-tap’ option, you can even kill a few terrorist first responders, preventing them from committing terrorist acts like helping the wounded and rescuing survivors trapped in the rubble. Don’t let Dad get away with anti-American activities! Show him who’s boss, whether he’s at a wedding, a funeral, or just having his morning coffee. Sow fear and carnage in your wake! Win a Nobel Peace Prize and be declared Time Magazine’s Person of the Year – Twice!
This goes well with the Maisto Extraordinary Rendition playset, by the way – which gives you all the tools you need to kidnap the family pet and take him for interrogation at a neighbor’s house, where the rules of the Geneva Convention may not apply. Loads of fun!
That is pure poetry.
Not all Americans are bad people, things like this have helped to me to maintain my barely clinging hope in humanity.

I just realized that the Latino Victory Fund is some PAC founded by Eva Longoria: http://latinovictory.us
Of course, an ad that racist and dumb could only come from Hollywood. Ed Gillespie should thank these imbeciles for contributing to their campaign if he wins.
Gillespie is up +4.5 right now. Courtesy of Hyperion Poll Adjustments. The most accurate poll around.
“Eva Longoria”
I do not know who that is. She sounds like the replacement for this woman.
So is there any chance those Femen protester chicks aren’t actually men? Because I’m pretty sure with the bit of weight I put on this year, I’ve got bigger tits.
Also, what are the odds Polanski himself put these girls up to it? What has the guy got to lose? He’s 84. He’s never returning to the US. I suppose the Weinstein story might have provoked the protest, but why bother with this washed-up has-been, who, since, what, the 90s? hasn’t been relevant even for a punchline, until ten minutes ago? Except now we’ve got splashy news stories about him, thanks to this inexplicable protest.
Lagunitas Sucks tonight. Time to get started.
Good choice.
I’m enjoying a 6-pack of Stone’s Enjoy By 10/31/17.
So… let me ask you guys something. My wife has this hangup about what she deems ‘mixing’. I mean mixing of alcohol of course. There are many times I drink a few beers and I want to switch to a couple shots of bourbon. Or I’ve has a few shots of bourbon and I want a beer. Is this a real thing or is it just her imagination that ‘mixing’ will make you like 10x more inebriated than you otherwise will be? I mean I don’t believe it’s a real thing, but I have to tread lightly, you know, because she’s a woman who believes she’s in possession of some secret knowledge that is beyond the grasp of mere males.
Not a real thing. Mansplain it to her like this. “Quiet, sweetie. The men are talking.”
Dufraine, you’re up to your eyeballs in shit you can’t comprehend!
“What the shit-ass Christ were we talking about”. LOLOLOL!!!
Oh, and thanks guys, I’m having a beer.
Is your wife’s name Honey?
Something like that.
not really.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/07/health/the-claim-mixing-types-of-alcohol-makes-you-sick.html
I think the article is correct: more than anything, its whether you ate food w/ your booze. if you’re completely on a liquid diet, you can get shitfaced quick no matter what it is.
I remember (and it might be mentioned in your article) that one thing that might lead to anecdotal support for beer before liquor… is that people who start with beer are pacing themselves on a much lower abv beverage and then switch to liquor and are more likely to consume more overall. I’d be curious how that changes when you get almost-but-not-quite barley-wine beers flooding the market.
I think the opposite may be true also, Jesse. If you’re winding down your evening of drinking, you might want a beer instead of another couple shots of bourbon, because you and enjoy drinking longer without getting too buzzed.
‘are’. not ‘and’.
“if you’re completely on a liquid diet, you can get shitfaced quick no matter what it is.”
Wow, as usual, the NYT has come up with a great revelation.
Let’s put is this way. I get a totally different sort of buzz depending on what I’m drinking. And this could be completely psychological, but I swear it’s true. That being said, I don’t believe I can get more drunk from mixing alcohol. Worse hangover? Maybe, I rarely get one.
That being said, this is not true. You can get shitfaced FAR quicker on high ABV liquor than you can beer. Seriously, everyone who drinks much alcohol knows this. I have a high tolerance and sometimes cannot get anywhere near anything considered drunk on beer. You can only drink so much liquid during a given period of time. Let’s put it this way, if I was dead set on getting ‘drunk’, beer would not be my choice.
Would you put them all in the same glass and mix them?
Well, that might taste really bad, so no. I would do like I am now. 3 shots scotch blend, then a beer.
Liquor then beer, never fear. Beer then liquor, never sicker…?
Like that?
I just know my limits, and realize that if I have too much of anything, it will be bad.
That sudden realization is key to me. It tells me I don’t need to worry about drinking too much, because I’m already fucked.
I was at the local Tilted Kilt enjoying the Kilt Girls’ costumes while consuming Founders Porter.

Three men said to have opened fire in a London nightclub with automatic firearms. Two injuries reported, one a man who was discovered on the dance floor with a gunshot wound the leg, and another a woman who self-presented to a hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. “Her condition is described as not life-threatening or life-changing.” No arrests made.
Exactly none of this sounds credible

Pretty sure I typed out the tag and forgot to ctrl+v the link.
A decent piece summarizing the Rutgers talk which Kmele was at, which i have watched parts of. I prefer the post-game summary, to be honest.
Odds on Robby’s upcoming talk at Haaavard going in the same direction? I’ll call it at ‘less likely’, but still guaranteed to be disrupted at least partially.
Well, Robby’s white and has all of the masculinity of a well-used dog brush, which is to say, he’s frizzy and wholly inoffensive. So I doubt he provokes more than a tepid “We’re here, we’re queer, but even for us, man, you’re gaaaaaaaaay.”

this argument is so unbelievably stupid that i suspect its actually trump supporters parodying the retarded-left
but everyone’s doing it
I am amazed that at that moment…. the fabric of the universe did not suddenly implode into a bottomless black hole of super-dense-derp
also: why exactly does Hillary Clinton still have a “Headquarters”? isn’t it called an ‘office’ when you’re just a private citizen? or when you’re not actually running money-laundering/charity scams anymore?
its such a petty form of self-aggrandizement. Like she’s so important, there’s an entire organization still structured around her very existence.
Because headquarters sounds better than “evil lair” or “Mt Doom”?
Welcome to my underground lair.

As bad as these people are, I’m still shocked they put that together.
I hope that the VA Democratic Party pays dearly for this. Yes, they didn’t come out with this commercial, but since it came out there’s been no apologies, just more complaining about how “divisive” the Gillespie campaign is. Despicable stuff, Alinsky-type tactics, I must say.
Hard to believe it made it on TV without explicit support from the Party Organ.
Wow. That is…um. Wow.
I’m actually speechless. That’s really fucked up.
The first time that I saw that commercial, I thought it was some disgusting 4chan prank, but no. The radical left has actually fully taken over the mainstream left.
They’ve become completely unable to even talk to “normal” people. Everything they say, all of their virtue-signaling and slogan-making… is targeted back at themselves.
Which isn’t how you do politics. You need to appeal to people outside the already converted. All they do is preach to the choir.
this theme was mentioned in the above-linked piece about Kmele’s Rutger’s event.
A lot of leftists and establishment Republicans frequently complain about how Trump is “only trying to appeal to his base and nobody else!” by fighting the press, and that he’s losing the middle because of it, but I don’t think that is actually true. I think that’s he’s way more receptive and understanding of his base than any president in recent memory, I agree, but I don’t think that pandering to them is his only goal. Unlike what the radical left does, he’s never called people who vote against him bad people.
The establishment is finding out what “average” Americans think of them for the first time in living memory.
Yeah, I think they’re wildly underestimating how much the “middle” hates the press. You don’t get approval ratings lower than donkey shit if only the Trumpians hate you, ya know?
I need your disgusting minds to help me out with the Harvey Weinstein story. What kind of crazy ass shit would people like Harvey do in the pleasure palace inside Chuck E. Cheese? The best ideas will make an appearance in the story.

I love realism. Is she disembarking that craft? Why is she holding that fellow’s wrist like that? And with such an insouciant look. And the dress she’s wearing. Bounded up below the knees, could you imagine trying to survive toppling over from such a narrow craft into waters of any depth? Not that she cares. The look she’s giving you, you’d think you’d be lucky if she had. Both of the rowers, one abject in duty and the other evidently entranced, pay fealty to the sublimity of her inviting gaze. She’s a woman who knows what she’s about, god help you.
Here’s another Tissot. Magnificent. Another apsect of realism I love: people acting the way they are. I wonder whether Mrs. Tissot objected to how she’s captured here, assuming this was a family portrait, or whether she loved the recognition of what a pain in the ass children are. Sometimes you just want to read the paper while those little shits do their stupid, stupid thing.
What a marvelously crafted painting. The brass teapot at the center, the china lamp at its side, the marvelous pieces of furniture throughout, the rug beneath, the folding screen in back, not to mention the immaculate visages of the children throughout, in addition to the utterly sanguine portrait of what I can only assume is madame Tissot herself.
There’s something… off about the two children behind the chair. Like they don’t have enough depth and are just cardboard cutouts of children’s heads held up on sticks, or something.
is that realism? i’m not very hip to painting schools.
a friend’s mom was an art dealer, and she handled this dude Don Eddy. He did photorealistic paintings, the most famous of which i think were toys, cars, and glass things.
when i was moving out of brooklyn, a guy on my street was selling boxes of shit which was basically scraps from his studio. he had a few don-eddy ‘test pieces’, which were like steps before he finished the painting. Anyway, i bought a few for like $100 total. they’re cool.
dude’s mom had this painting in her living room
Ever see Tim’s Vermeer?
The Pen Jillete movie about how a dude re-made a vermeer using optics? Yes. what i just said is all i remember tho. it was a cool doco
What you said is pretty much the plot. The other info that I’m not sure of was in the movie or other Penn things I saw, Tim was the guy who reasoned (drink) Penn into being a libertarian.
That’s the only kind of painting that I could see myself enjoying. I don’t know the term for this, but I never understood the appeal of paintings that are just splatters or disjointed geometric shapes.
I’m kind of like that with regards to other artforms, too: I don’t like poetry that lacks rhyme, meter, and grammatical coherence. This sums up my opinions pretty well.
You know who else left Germany for S. America at the end of WWII?
