ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. AS THE BRUTAL HOLIDAYS ARE HERE, ZARDOZ UNDERSTANDS HIS CHOSEN ONES MAY BE UNDER SOME AMOUNT OF STRESS. ZARDOZ WOULD RECOMMEND GOING FORTH AND KILLING…BUT THE TABERNACLE HAS INFORMED ZARDOZ THAT THIS IS PARTICULARLY FROWNED UPON AT THIS TIME OF THE BRUTAL YEAR.
THEREFORE, ZARDOZ WILL REQUIRE NOTHING OF HIS CHOSEN ONES THIS DAY, EXCEPT TO ENJOY THE GIFT OF THE LINK. GO FORTH AND COMMENT! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
- YOU KNOW WHAT ZARDOZ IS HOPING THE FUTURE HOLDS…CIVIL WAR!
- THERE APPEAR TO BE EVEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS IN CHICAGO. ZARDOZ WOULD EXPRESS SHOCK, WERE ZARDOZ ABLE TO.
- AND THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS IN UZBEKISTAN ARE FACING DIFFICULTIES. ZARDOZ IS NOT PLEASED.
- THIS, HOWEVER, PLEASES ZARDOZ. SOMEWHAT. NOT ENOUGH CHAOS FOR ZARDOZ, BUT CLOSE.
GO FORTH AND COMMENT! ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

THIS, HOWEVER, PLEASES ZARDOZ. SOMEWHAT. NOT ENOUGH CHAOS FOR ZARDOZ, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH.
I won’t be part of it this year. No travel for me this year.
Oh, they’re writing about the UK. I should have guessed from the URL.
YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE GIFT OF THE ONE. THE ONE IS GOOD.
Uzbek president Shavkat Mirziyoyev said on Friday he would reform the Central Asian nation’s state security service, adding that its power had become excessive under his predecessor Islam Karimov.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?
Hard to be worse…even the same as Karimov. That guy was a primo asshole.
Niyazov in Turkmenistan was worse, wasn’t he?
Less openly and notoriously, I would think.
Sounds familiar
“At the moment, the National Security Service bases its work on a statute passed by the government 26 years ago. The fact that this statute has remained untouched for a quarter of a century and that every problem was regarded as a threat to national security has led to a groundless expansion of this agency’s powers.”
They have a patriot act and an AUMF too?
Great minds think alike.
Wasn’t Karimov wielding the high hand of power when his excellency William Jefferson Clinton was paid a very large fee for a speech by said high hand of power? I wonder if they talked about police tactics?
So much for that business about “serve and protect.”
Well, the cops didn’t say whom they were serving and protecting, now did they?
We exist to serve and protect…
ourselves.
“Welcome to ‘FRANTIC Friday’! Tailbacks after M40 lorry fire and nearly 50 delays on UK roads as 30 trains CANCELLED due to ‘sick’ rail staff and chaos at Bristol airport after a plane overruns the runway”
You see? Chaos in the streets (of the UK)! They never should have passed that tax bill. Now climate change is coming for us all, finally, this time, for the last time again!
I blame Brexit.
Anarchy In The UK!

The number of dead from the Net Neutrality vote is uncountable, yet we still must suffer. We have displeased Gaia for sure.
I read that as TANTRIC Friday… I was about to say “go on…”
Go on…
5th! Watching the new season of Peaky Blinders. Pretty good so far. God I hate Arthur’s wife.
I’m currently hiding in the in-laws house while they watch another generic Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel. I think that channel has about 30 of the same Christmas movie with the same premise.
Wild are playing Panthers. You should be able to find it.
I’m not the most creative guy in the world but I’m pretty sure I could write the script for most hallmark movies.
You’re pretty creative though,
If they didn’t include electrocution I would be disappointed. They can come back to life and all that, but if they are not fried by high voltage it is a waste of you background.
You’ve probably already seen it, but I went through a lot of trouble to obtain this video, so I’ll post it again. Instead of high voltage, there could be a tragic story of a man killed in an industrial accident.
https://youtu.be/LzuSJXjbQ2o
Wow! I have no other comment.
Ya, I am not sure a dude involved in that can then enter into a Christmas miracle.
They essentially all follow the Miracle on 34th Street formula: single mom is down on life, but thanks to a quirky person/animal/job/organization/recipe, the Christmas spirit is reborn, ending with a kiss under the mistletoe with Mr. Right, with the onlooking kid(s) overjoyed.
I’d rather see Miracle on 69th Street.
Please tell me this actually exists. ZARDOZ says the penis is evil but I have a feeling this film could change his mind.
Direct to video, but yes, such a title did apparently get made.
Put on Bad Santa next.
Pretty bummed that I’m out of the house and my ex-roomies are up in Colorado with her parents. Used to love our Bad Santa pre-Christmas Eve tradition. Ah, well.
Suggest KISS Saves Christmas. IT’s a classic.
Eddie Trunk is doing his Kissmas special.
Just got back from the shortest, easiest work Christmas party ever. We have a small staff, and it was held at the distillery. Since we all drink at the job (in the form of tasting) it was a pretty dry party. I had three drinks, and I think that was the most of anyone. A couple hours later and I’m back at home and I get to drink just for fun without any terrible business repercussions. So, yay for me.
My company’s Christmas events (unofficial and official) were lightly attended compared to previous years.

When traveling it’s wise to stock up on abortions ahead of the trip to ensure that you don’t run out along the way.

I started with some cider, and now some Celebrator. It’s fitting. My work laptop is off and unless tech support calls me with an emergency, I won’t turn it on until I return to the office on the 2nd.
Yummy, I love Doubles, I just found out I’m running the Whole show for the next 10 days, Solo, not fun.
Swiss Servator loves Double.

Not Swiss enough for you?

I’ve already had my work call, e-mail, and text me to enable a feature that we’re not sure if it will work or not. Regardless of if it actually functions, it will not solve the problem they think it will.
I recently pulled an all-nighter and lost some weekends because of some customer related emergencies. After the last weekend, I decided that I’m not going to travel for the holidays and instead will stay at my house so that I can recuperate.
I have to work tonight and tomorrow night. Then on Christmas we have a big job to pull off. After that I should have 5 straight days off. Kid will be out of school, my wife will be off work that week. I’m really looking forward to it.
This is CNN.
http://freebeacon.com/politics/cnn-labels-thomas-tank-engine-paw-patrol-fascist-cartoons/
Thomas *is* a fascist cartoon. The Island of Sodor is the worst possible dystopia.
ANTIFA RAILWAYS
I do not remember that but the last time I watched a Thomas cartoon my son was two. That was 20 years ago. I remember it being a “you can achieve anything if you try” theme back then. So the thing they chose to teach the kids was that they could achieve socialism?
I don’t know about that. After all, Sir Topham Hat looks an awful lot like our Glibs logo.
Back in the bad old days, his name was “The Fat Controller”.
I loved those books, and the idea of living in an idyllic closed society where the humans quality of life was pretty much dictated at the whim of monstrous anthropomorphic mechas with the social skills of a three year old.
Big O was better.
As hard as it is to believe given the level of derp we currently contend with, I think it’s going to continue to get worse. What can college students graduating with non-sense degrees do outside of the service industry? Academia/professional student, News writer (ie blogger), Democrat operative/community organizer, HR? The news blogging seems to support more people than practical and I have to think a burst is eventually inevitable. I think the dumbest of the pack probably get the most clicks though from people going there to gawk and make fun of them.
I’m convinced that Glibs generally and derptologist specifically are the only things keeping everyday feminism afloat.
Assistant YUSEF: thank God I got out of there early, OMM is in his moaning stage, smoking his Hooka and drinking the Bottle of Brandy he has stashed in his desk, He thinks no one knows, but I know 🙂
Traffic was Insane!!! today, you could feel the tension in the air, people making stupid driving moves, I made it back with some Lagunitas Maximus and a Bourbon barrel aged, Coconut Porter at 11.4% abv. I’ll have it with dinner and review it, not like they ever post my many reviews, ah well 😉
That coconut porter sounds delicious.
MS helped me in deciding to try some Barrel aged stuff, I’ll let you know….
I am about to head out for the Friday race off of Waikiki. You know what they say: sailboats move by the wind, but are powered by alcohol. This crew has taken it to heart so their will be good beer aboard.
When I leave the post race activities I will immediately leave the Waikiki area to the vacationing brutals and retreat to my part of the island. Tomorrow I’ll finish my last crowler of River Mile 38 “Hard Over Hefeweissen” while watching the Packers try to take down the Vikings.
I had a Prindle once… God’s Gas indeed 🙂 have a fun! i’m jelly
Have fun! Hefeweizens are excellent beers.
I can’t see the need for Wheat in Beer, nor Rice, (But Japan!) YMMV
I’m actually planning on using rice in an Imperial Pilsner I’m brewing in the next week or two. I’m planning on using the rice to increase the ABV without increasing the body.
On the wheat side, one of my favorite summer beers I make is a Raspberry wheat. 4 lbs 2-row, 2 lbs wheat malt, .75 lb of raspberries in the last couple of minutes of the boil, then aged for a week over 2.25 lbs of raspberries. It makes an easy drinking, slightly tart, pink beer.
hows the abv? See, I like a good Raspberry sour or lambic, hows your Wheat?
The Raspberry wheat usually clocks in at around 4.5%, while the Imperial Pils is planned to come in at about 8.5%.
Make me a wheat at 7% or above, is that possible?
Of course it is. Here’s an example from New Holland brewing company. Or just look for Weizenbocks, which usually are over 7% ABV.
#jealous Have fun. (Jealous the Hawaii and the sailing. Beer is everywhere. Hawaii and sailing isn’t)
I just read an analysis of the tax bill at Cosmopolitan. Reading it gave me brain damage, and rendered me incapable of linking.
Spoiler alert- it’s bad. Immoral. You might even think it constitutes a crime against humanity. Probably genocide.
The article?
Stalin might have killed millions, but at least he didn’t allow the evil rich to have a small cut in their taxes!
I’ve had to resort to cannibalism just to survive since Trump signed it into law.
I just read an analysis of the tax bill at Cosmopolitan.
Yes, those ARE all English words, and they seem to constitute a sentence, but I’ll be damned if I can discern the meaning.
When did they go political? They used to be where women went for fashion advice, celeb gossip, and that one trick guaranteed to drive him crazy.
If any magazine is qualified to do tax analysis its Cosmopolitan.

“The lead prosecutor in the Nevada standoff case against Cliven Bundy, two of his sons and a fourth alleged ringleader told a jury in his opening statement last month that the case centered on the need to respect the rule of law.
Five weeks later, it was the prosecution team’s abuse of the rule of law that sunk the case, leading to a judge’s declaration Wednesday of a mistrial.”
U.S. attorney has a sad.
Still not tired of winning.

You mean Our fronkensteen? Say it isn’t so!
“They’re taking great credit for this accomplishment,” she said. “Well, I call it a Pyrrhic victory because it’s …Frankenstein. And anybody who is familiar with Frankenstein knows that it was a creation — a monster that was created. You know the ending of Mary Shelley’s story? The monster comes back to destroy.”
The monster being the pissed off proggies?
“Well, I call it a Pyrrhic victory because it’s …Frankenstein. And anybody who is familiar with Frankenstein knows that it was a creation — a monster that was created. You know the ending of Mary Shelley’s story? The monster comes back to destroy.”
Umm, yes, because Pyrrhic & Frankenstein are the same thing.
lemme try and descramble her brain salad here.
While Dr. Frank succeeded in his pursuit of creating life, it was pyrrhic because of the whole monster killing people thing.
“And anybody who is familiar with Frankenstein knows that it was a creation — a monster that was created. You know the ending of Mary Shelley’s story? The monster comes back to destroy,” says the woman that has had more overhauls and undercarriage work done than Frankenstein’s monster itself.
Actually, Frankenstein looks like it will be a good analogy for Obamacare.
So… bald-faced lies are not “politics”? Huh.
And I love the bit about not accomplishing the postcard thing. I’m totally sure she would have cheered that on.
yeah, those republicans are awful because they didn’t simplify it enough!
What are you talking about? Pelosi has been trying to get the tax code simplified for years.
Of course, give us all your money is much simpler then filling out forms, and letting people keep some of their money.
I think she just misspoke and meant to say “Just like Franken”.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/22/arts/music/pop-music-2017-glum-lil-uzi-vert-future-taylor-swift.html
The attitude was similar on the year’s blockbuster album release, Taylor Swift’s “Reputation,” which sold more than a million copies in four days. The “old Taylor” — a sharp-witted yet approachable young woman dealing with inexplicably callous boyfriends — was replaced by a grown-up, unabashed celebrity, lashing out at detractors and flaunting how manipulative she could be, often backed by harsh, unyielding electronics.”
Why can’t we have the old Taylor Swift back? The new one won’t even denounce Republicans. Sad.
Taylor Swift is being transgressive and challenging. She’s just transgressing against the wrong people.
“The tone of that song — mournful, dazed, sullen, traumatized, self-absorbed, defensive, remote, morbid — was pervasive in the pop of 2017. Hit radio and popularity-driven algorithmic playlists lingered on bleak, bummed-out sounds and scenarios, stringing together music that shares the feeling of being alienated, unprotected and besieged.”
2017, is the bleakest year in human history. The internet ended and killed millions. Tax cuts that won’t go into affect until next year have caused poor proggies to drop dead by the 100s of thousands. Everybody is getting groped non-stop 24/7. The end is nigh.
Dont forget Brexit
“Post Malone”
dear god, he’s still around?
I thought he was a one-song accident dragged into the A-list temporarily. He produces some unholy-abomination mix of white-guy-trap and emo. and its actually worse than that already sounds. “bling baller” meets “baby im real deep and sensitive”. I’m so depressed with the world baby, let me hit you from behind and throw money in the air.
The virtualization of Judy Garland
Brutalization, not virtualization.
Judy Garland
Wasn’t she the Queen of AA for a while?
Howard Stern used to play one of her long, drunken rants (that I think she had recorded for a book – autobiography?) all the time. It was *hilarious*.
OK, it was awful. Why didn’t she leave that life?
Her mom, that and she was fucked up in the head.
And her daughter had exactly the same problem.
My wife was just watching Wizard of Oz
Deanna Durbin was the better singer.
Once in a while, you find someone who just gets you.
That wasn’t what I expected. It was rather interesting.
Techno reggae? Conceptually cool idea but man that whistle doesn’t work for me.
It’s soca music, one of the most popular genres in Trinidad and Tobago.
Not hipster enough.
https://imgur.com/JiIaB70
SoCa RULES! I’m a Reggae head but you can expand, and SoCa is like fun fuck music to me!
Yeah, that’s pretty much what it is.
Cool I’ll have to check out some more in the genre. Parade or not, whistle is annoying as hell, although possibly not as annoying as the overuse of voice synthesizers in music today. I think it’s requirement of younger generation music to find some way to annoy the shit of of old farts like me.
And the whistle isn’t always there, good Music, Bra!
Glibs would understand Thursdays more if they were familiar in the culture I was (partially) raised.
You were raised in a strip club?
You’re a Trinny and Tobogoite? I have never been, but I know people. That would explain much.
OK, now I understand *better*.
Damn Trinnies. They let ’em in everywhere.
Would this be like the polka version?

Oh and the whistle is because it’s intended to be played while dancing down the street during Carnival.
Hah.
Britain’s equivalent of Dollar Tree is in trouble. No shit!
…”Johnny Handsome”?
The Advertising Standards Authority said: “I can confirm we have received eight complaints so far about a series of Poundland tweets that feature an Elf.
8?!?! 8 COMPLAINTS!?!?! It’s a national outrage.
Taking those 8 phone calls was the most work that government official had to do all year though. Maybe they should start them out at a call center for a few weeks so they have some perspective on things.
Meanwhile, the cops in the UK claim to be dangerously underfunded.
Coconut Porter… WOW
EXCELLENT!
I wrote a review, with pics and links, think Liquid Mounds bar, with Alcohol!
I’m not a big fan of coconut but I love porters so would probably sample
I wasn’t sure, but it worked fine, still is…….
What brand?
Allan Toussaint just came up on Pandora.
thats my homie right there.
i have a photo w/ him somewhere in the closet. me and a few buddies went to see him @ the bitter end in the late 1990s, and almost no one showed up. He was opening for Leo Nocentelli (OG guitarist for the meters). It was a horribly promoted show. But it turned out they were basically playing for me and a dozen other people, and they all hung out and let us buy them drinks afterwards.
one of my favorite AT jams.
one of my other.
Sweet. Good stuff.

Awesome jams there. I just heard this cover version of Summer Breeze today on a should station and really dig it.

Soul station
Great tune
that’s nice. that’s one of those records i have on the shelves but i rarely played for whatever reason. i love going back to old things you haven’t touched in years and rediscovering great stuff on them.
Cheers. I never get tired of classic soul. I’ve plugged these guys here before, but they have an excellent soul station that has turned me onto a bunch of great tracks.
https://somafm.com/player/#/now-playing/7soul
Very nice, thanks!
that ‘life, love, faith‘ album is (imo) his best and the one to look for, esp on vinyl.
i think the meters were pretty much always his backing band on all the early records. at least half of them (zig + leo)

John is one of the few artists that I have seen live multiple times.
I’ll disappoint ZARDOZ. I, or my wife rather, brought forth a small plague of men on Tuesday. The little guy decided to screw the IRS and be born early.
Unfortunately, he was born two days ahead of the cutoff to be born at the cheaper midwife staffed birth center, and we had to go to the much more expensive hospital. Which suck. Had to stick around and lay on a crappy couch without getting any sleep for two nights. The birth center would have let us go home in a few hours.
Congratulations!
Congrats!
Congratulations man! (sorry about the timing).
congratulations! Good think he came out before the end of the year. That should save you on your yearly insurance deductable. My brother’s oldest daughter was born about 3am on January 1st. He had to meet his deductible again.
*Nelson laugh* “You procreated!” In all seriousness, congrats! Here’s to many sleepless nights!
Ha! Congrats. We had two kids pre Obamacare and one post. Guess which one cost twice as much.
Nice! Hope everyone is healthy. We will distract ZARDOZ with a pile of grain or somesuch.
Born two days early? Hmmm, are you sure you are the father if the appointed time would have saved you money? Just saying.
I am kidding. Congrats. Welcome to a new life!

Can a fart be misogynist?
https://thewaterpipe.wordpress.com/2013/12/22/can-a-fart-be-misogynist/
“Ashleigh Ingle a proud feminist and an anarchist argued that because of patriarchal gender norms women were not allowed to release gas in public because of men’s unreal expectations of women to be clean and feminine. Furthermore she articulated that if a woman was to fart in the presence of a man and the man responded by farting louder than the woman, than that would be rape.”
LOL

Holy shot, that’s a good one.
Is this like The Onion for SJW content?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it is. If not…wow:
I’ve never seen this website before today. But yeah I am 99% sure it’s like the Onion not that you can really tell nowadays.
Relevant
Now, for the real-world version
Some of the most monstrous, life threatening farts I’ve been exposed to have been from women.
And then there’s queefs.
My ex could shake the windows. It made me feel a little neutered. “I am Woman, hear me Roar!”
How many fucking times do we have to go over this?
The male pelvis is anatomically different than the female pelvis. It takes significant muscular effort for a man to keep his legs pressed close together, and even over a period of five minutes, this can lead to some extremely uncomfortable fatigue. And it’s nigh impossible for most men to cross their legs like women do.
Furthermore, women will suffer no consequences if they sit with their legs spread. That’s just part of the feminist fantasy universe where women are harassed and ostracized for every gender boundary transgression.
I’m a strapping man and I don’t need to spread my hegemony. The people that are bitching about this are same ones that complain about cat-calling. It’s not all men but certain men so we all get dumped into the soup. They are so afraid of a word that they denigrate half of the population.
If it’s holiday tune-time:
Christmas With Satan
https://youtu.be/6qcPS-J0HTg This is the only xmas song.
I disagree – I have two that I always listen to:
Song the 1st
Song the 2nd
I have never been into the whole Xmas song thing. But even as a yoot this song was attractive to me. This version is simplicity itself and she absolutely nails it.

OT: Do you guys have any hot alcoholic beverage recipes?
I’ve been making this “toddy” by steeping cloves, cinnamon sticks, and allspice in boiling water, then adding sugar, lemon juice, and whiskey or rum. It has a very warming effect, which is nice in this kind of weather.
Any ideas?
Keep the everclear away from open flames and you’ll be fine. Drink too much and you might wake up in a different city or a ditch. I’ve survived both situations with wallet and both kidneys intact but I highly recommend a wingman that is capable of the fireman’s carry.
You have the classic ingredients. I don’t think you can go wrong with those. I would generally add honey.
I do a toddy by using roibus (sp?) tea, hot. Then I add in bourbon. And lemoncello. And krupnik. Same basic idea as yours.
I put this in a thread earlier In The week.
This is essentially Krupnik but home made. It can be drunk warm or cold.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/218664/coal-region-boilo/
Awesome. I’ll have to try this. Though we’re fortunate that there’s a local micro-distillery that makes Krupnik and I’m quite partial to their recipe, it’s good to make an alternative, and I’m always looking for ways to utilize the moonshine I make. Sounds like it’d work as a base for this.
*scarred ears perk, remembers the border and goes back asleepin*
I”m sure only like 5 people will see this; but I’ll write it anyway.
I just watched ‘Bright’ on Netflix. It was an enjoyable movie. However, it had one problem many modern movies have, poor world building.
In the movie Orcs, Elves and Fairies are real. 2,000 years ago the Orcs fought a war on everyone else in service of ‘The Dark Lord’. We are never shown this war, nor are we given any other context. In the context of the movie this isn’t myth, but known fact. A fact the audience doesn’t know. In the film’s reality magic is real, and the rules are known. Only a bright (one gifted in magic) can handle a magic wand, everyone else dies upon touching the wand (brights are implied to be a very very low percentage of any race). So what happens when a is found in the movie? Everyone is trying to touch it.
Oh, and that bit about magic, Orcs, Fairies, Elves, and The Dark Lord being real, well apparently it didn’t change any bit of history. The world of this film is our world with these other things simply plopped on top. Nothing about history has changed, just these other things added. Yep, magic being real wouldn’t change a thing about anything in history.
The film is centered around a black police officer and a ‘diversity’ hire Orc on the LAPD. Yet, in this alternate reality where Orcs are stand-ins for black people, black people still occupy the same strata in American culture. The Orcs are just kind of shoe-horned in as being lower than the blacks, without ever actually showing it. The same for the Elves, but in reverse. The Elves are shown being at the top of the diversity ladder, where one might imagine that would kick ordinary white folks down a rung. Nope. It’s just muddled.
In conclusion, Bright is a fun movie as long as you don’t think about it.
The continuing adventures of Harvey Weinstein and Ted Nugent will continue in 2018….
That movie sounds dreadful. No degree of suspension of disbelief will ever let a Negro be a police officer! The absurdity!
Oh, I forgot the fact that guns are more magical than the magic wand in this movie. And everyone has fully automatic guns, except our brave officers, who apparently don’t have access to military grade weapons.
Great googly-moogaly! What chimps write this stuff?
