Not Yusef’s house
I love lights, so Christmas is fun for me. I used to just go for how many lights can you cram in! But as I get older and tired, I’m going for theme instead. The wife likes red and white, so I go with that. My lights are nothing compared to others, but they please me, and yes….. I have a snow machine. The grandkids love it, and the colder it gets the better it sticks, leaving a beautiful scene. Desert snow, I have seen it, but not in upland. And because I live on a major street, people trip out on the whole scene. Fun times! The neighbors are doing some pretty things, so our neighborhood looks outstanding, and we are on the white trash side of the street. Fuck off, slavers!
Show your stuff, trees, lights, silliness. Open thread and Merry Christmas!

Nice post, bro. Like the lights and the kittah.
The kitty is like, “Are we really doing this?”
Miracle picture, hard to get her to sit still for photos
If I pull out the camera, the cat approaches. I don’t have the lenses for extreme close-ups.
No lights to show because I’m one of (((them))). I like your photos. Enjoy Christmas.
I’ll take a #1 slapped on a great ass for my first GIF.
And you should have got First IMO, So I give you mine FWIW
You’r e Giant Ant that lives in the L.A. flood control channels? Well Merry Christmas to You, Ant Person!
Here in the Bay Area, for what seems like the umpteenth year in a row, they’ve declared today to be a “Spare the Air” day, meaning wood fires in your fireplace are against the law. First violation, $500. Second, $1000. And they actively encourage neighbors to tattle.
Amazing how there doesn’t seem to be anything unusual about today from an atmospheric standpoint. You wouldn’t think they issued this alert just because it’s the one day that people really want a fire in the fireplace, would you?
Fortunately, we live on a hilltop, and since all our neighbors are well below us and upwind, we are hoping to get away with civil disobedience. But if you see me posting asking for bail money, you’ll know why.
Mammoth does that, but they kinda need to, Bay area? Coastal breeze, Fog, Fire it up! Tell em to Fuck Off Slavers!
I had a fire in my fireplace going for several hours.
If you need bail money, I will gladly contribute.
What is the correct punctuation for the tribe of people who don’t have lights because they are cheap or don’t feel like wasting one of the last nice fall days dicking around with them?
[[[us]]]? Square brackets for the tribe of cheap, lazy non-believers.
Ant People?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047573/
That show freaked me out as a kid. The scene where the GI gets pinched in the giant ant’s mandibles really scared me.
The scene I remember most was when they tried shooting one with a Thompson and it had no effect so they ran to the car and brought a Garand which smoked his ass.
I thought “hmmmm. I want one of those when I grow up.”
That movie also starred Edmund Gwenn, who played Santa Clause in “Miracle on 34th Street”. Coincidence? Or creepy….
So Chafed IS a giant Ant? I knew it
Gwenn also plays a hired killer in Alfred Hitchcock’s Foreign Correspondent.
And if you want a change of pace from Hitchcock, Gwenn is also in the black comedy The Trouble With Harry which is going to be on TCM tomorrow morning.
A couple of years ago they did a screening of The Trouble With Harry in our little downtown cinema. Jerry Mathers (aka The Beaver) was on hand, in person, for a Q&A interview on the stage before the movie started (he plays the little boy in the movie who first discovers the dead body — not a spoiler, it’s in the first two minutes of the film). I was able to ask The Beav a question from the audience and he gave the most rote, eyes-glazed, detached response you could imagine, and it was virtually the same answer he gave several other people; it seemed like he only had four canned replies no matter what people asked. I don’t think The Beav has much going on upstairs anymore, by the way, though I think he’s only in his late 60s.
That is me. [[[cheap and lazy]]]
So, not an insect? there have been a few sightings today

Perfect! Thanks
I like Jethro Tull.
Had I discovered Jethro Tull or other similar flautists earlier, I might have stuck with playing the flute.
I like the lights on the house, Yusef. we have no neighbors, so we rarely put lights up.
I comment just vanished, anyway, I’m bummed out, the wind took the top loose, and I had several electrical issues, but it looks nice from the street.
I live on a main drag so Lots of cars go by, so I keep the front wild and colorful.
Wife has lights all over our deck and lots of stuff inside. I’m too lazy for lights, it’s too much work, too little time for beer and bourbon.
I don’t get guests, so I didn’t go all out decorating – Just a tree
Did this get noticed? Some one here a Senator?
https://twitter.com/senatorshoshana/status/944992436438339585
Fun fact: that’s Tom Nichol’s daughter. I don’t know why she uses the senator tag, but she’ll retweet demands made by people who blindly tag her in tweets aimed at the Senate and suggest they drop by her office with $10,000 and she’ll consider doing their bidding.
Senator Yusef, hmmmmmm

Very nice place, the tree is Beautiful,
Wow, I love the scenery photo.
Looks real nice. Take advantage of the space and go tramping around the property/hills/mountains.
That is a picture perfect Christmas.
I like the scenery picture despite the snow.
Your Christmas Tree looks quite nice.
Do not sous vide a dry rub – it does not turn out well.
I am sorry to hear that.
baked and pan fried turned out just fine.
Details?
I have done ribs sous vide with a dry rub and they turned out well. I do put them on a low, low smoke for about an hour before I serve. The smoking helps dry them out a bit.
The pork I used was thin, it released just enough liquid to cement the spices to the outside of the meat. It did not, however do anything to the fact that the bulk of the mass was made of coffee grounds.
Baking and pan frying at least transformed the flavor, but the inside of the vacuum bag did not get hot enough to change the flavor profile of the spice mix.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I saw a sous vide video (can’t remember anything searchable thing about it) where the guy said for situations like you describe, you can put it on high heat for a short time before you sous vide. That would help break down the spices like you describe. He did say that you had to be careful though because it was easy to go too long and dry out the meat.
I ran into my first sous vide disappointment about a month ago. We had a lot of people over and I sous vide’d some venison. The tougher pieces from the front quarters are perfect for sous vide cooking. I got greedy and put in a piece of the back strap and it got a bit mushy.
My usual backstrap recipe is to simply salt/pepper medallions of it and broil for 3-5 minutes a side. Sous Vide was an unnecessary complication. I’m still kicking myself for wasting that piece of meat.
Half the exercise was in experimenting what the different processes did to the flavor.
Baking turned out best in my opinion. And it took the least work.
We usually bake with that rub but my wife will sometimes use the pressure cooker for lean pork roasts.
I did a two day cook on some short ribs recently. Amazing.
Might be something to try with the venison.
Yup. We do a 3 day cook on pork ribs and they are amazing. The hardest part is trying to keep the bones from falling out when putting them on the smoker for a bit before serving.
I’ve had great luck with 5-7 hour sous vide cooking with venison. Especially on the smaller tougher cuts from the front shoulders. In the past we’d pound them into small cutlets to tenderize them. Now we sous vide at 129 degrees for a few hours and everything is awesome.
The problem with the back strap is that it is already so tender that I think sous vide is over kill. The taste was fine, it was just the texture was a bit mushy.
The first year we moved into our house (1995), we were told that our neighborhood had won the city light contest for several years in a row. And my house was always the linchpin of the street. I nearly had to call an ambulance because I was laughing so hard at the thought of decorating my house with lights. To my knowledge, our neighborhood has never won a light contest since I moved in. I blame that more on the fact that Tundra and his horde of gentrifiers moved into my suburb and priced us out of the game.
More power to you crazy people who like to do that shit, but I don’t get it. The only one I get on our street is the guy who moved in and there were pre-installed lights (the previous owner left them) on a tree and all he does is flip a switch.
This year, there is a wonderful story about one of your crazed light folk. The reason it is wonderful isn’t because a) someone put up 17000 lights on his house or b) that some a-holes couldn’t follow a few simple rules. What made it great is that the guy and his neighbors all figured out how to deal with the spectacle without any lawsuits or govt rules. Who’d a thunk that people could just get together and figure things out?
I considered something like that when I first moved in, but way too much time, and extra work. There is a neighborhood nearby that is completely done up, going over the streets etc. The City puts up the big lit road signs directing traffic in. only cars, no stopping, no walking.
I have to admit that the idea of using a small controller and programming the lights appeals to part of me.
I use Arduino for that, simple enough to program, but the physical logistics are more work than I’w willing to do, at least on a house sized project.
I do use a a lot of LED lighting around the home, but they are simple, not programmed, much.
Grinch? Is that you?
It is!
*looks at lights on house and deck*
I have lights on the side facing the street. Bluetooth controlled LED icicles.
Over 100 colors, and my wife wants them in Jew mode: blue and white.
I’m going to put them in Gay Pride mode when we leave for dinner.
GP mode? I have some Landscape lights that do that!
I have landscape lights that can change colors, but it’s all the same color at the same time, and they project from the ground up. I keep them in a blue/green to highlight the palm trees.
The icicles…. man. They go into flamboyant neon rainbow mode.
Modern Programmable LEDs are very cool, tunable
Hahaha! When my in-laws moved into their house back in 2007, my MIL had a bunch of blue and white lights for decor. I made the innocent/snide comment that the color scheme was “Jewish Christmas.” She bought multicolor lights for the subsequent years. We still have remnants of blue/white decorations in the house. And still get a laugh out of Jewish Christmas.
They’re Bavarian, not Jewish. 🙂
How do you know his inlaws are Bavarian?
I like the Blue/White scheme, But the Wife thinks it’s too Jewish, really,so Red it is
Blue and white lights in Torrance? May as well put a target on your back.
Those are the colors of the Blessed Virgin.
It’s almost as if none of you even Catholic!
It is. I cry every time the Grinch feels the spirit of Chrismas. He was such an inspiring role model until The Man broke him and made him conform to their corporatist consumer of their dreams.
I moved in in 1993.
So there!
Yeah, but when us rough necks from the barrio didn’t run you out, we might as well have put out a welcome mat for all the other yuppies to come and turn fine corn and soy bean fields into cul de sacs of McMansions.
Seen Hamel lately??
Mark?
These folks turned their light show into a tourist attraction.
standing rib roast and french fries under way.
Ramen and maybe Chinese later if I find a place that’s open. I never remember to lay in for holidays.
Ham and twice baked potatoes here.

Do you work at Arby’s?
I think I have a couple of egg rolls in the freezer.
I live in an apartment, so I don’t decorate. But I do the lights on my in-laws house in Torrance every Thanksgiving. Here is a photo from 2015. I’m not sure why I don’t have photos from ‘16 or ‘17. Anyway, this year is the same basic configuration, but with more lights. And snowflake projections. Merry Christmas everybody!

it’s a good one.
Looked like a screen.
Giant Acer Tablet, and a google app, it trips people out for a second 🙂
Yes. Nice configuration. Also, while commenting on your pictures, I like how your daughter is like a ghostly apparition in one photo. Then, the next photo taken from the exact same spot an hour later, she’s gone.
She’s my Grand daughter, 7 , don’t tell OMWC

Yusef, the peanut butter banana upside down cake worked pretty well. Still needs some tweaks, but here is the next version I will make:
Preheat oven to 350.
Topping:
In an oven proof skillet (preferably cast iron), melt 1/4 c butter. Add 1/3 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 to 1/2* tsp cayenne and stir until sugar melts. Add 2T peanut butter and stir until combined. Remove from heat and cover skillet with sliced bananas (I sliced into rounds, but slicing length wise would look nice. Stir to coat and make look nice. Fill gaps with a few peanuts.
Batter:
Combine 1cup sifted flour with 1tsp baking powder and 1/2tsp salt. Set aside.
Beat 4 egg yolks with 1 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 T melted peanut butter. Add flour mix 1/4 cup at time and beat well. Set aside.
Beat 4 egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Add 1 cup sugar a little at a time. Then fold egg whites into yolk and flour mixture and pour over fruit topping mix. Bake about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately invert over serving dish. Let sit for a few moments to let all the topping run down, then remove pan. Sprinkle with a little rum. When cool, top with whipped cream and serve.
*I like spicy, so use your own judgement.
Now it’s a Google doc, Thanks, I’m going to wait til Christmas Sugar wears off before I make it though,
Merry Christmas Tulip!
For the next enaction of my labor, I would like to ask the nice folks who run the site if we could have a category for recipes.
I have been fucking off for a week on vacation and I saw Suthen’s coffee rub, but failed to copy it anywhere. It was tough to go find it again. It would be great if you could use the submissions page to contribute a recipe that would automatically get tagged with a “recipe” label.
[[[what can I say, I’m lazy]]]
What post was Suthen throwing out a coffee rub? I missed that one.
Here is the link to the recipe.
If you thought “throwing out a coffee rub” was a euphemism, then you need to go look it up yourself.
lol……no euphemism. Thanks for enacting my labor.
That looks delicious.
Merry Christmas, beautiful bastards.
We have a party to go to at a local (((musician)))’s house and we were asked to bring a vegetarian dish. So it’s my (in)famous balsamic-glazed roasted Brussels sprouts with pecans.
Does he play the (((harp)))?
He does. Along with any other instrument you can think of. When Swiss and bacon magic were over, he whipped out a saw and did a rendition of Over The Rainbow.
The last time I was at a party and whipped out the saw my buddies wife told him to never invite me back to their house.
Mmm. Love Brussels sprouts.
#metoo
Cut in half, tossed with olive oil, shallots and salt and pepper. Roasted at 500 until they surrender and then hit with balsamic vinegar and served.
Damn.
That’s the right way.
There is no way to improve that recipe.
Needs bacon. Bacon is brussel sprouts best friend.
Truth
???
Video of the party.
Ham, mashed potatoes, creamed onions, veggie medley, cornbread. Full.
Beer, bourbon, beer. Had swordfish and filet last night though, that was good.
Nice:) Both great combos
We’re doing a standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding, a family tradition.
Oh, and a ton of champagne, wine and some nice Macallan Fine Oak Single Malt 15 Year Scotch for sipping after dinner.
Best part of family gatherings is not having to drive after all that.
Awesome. We’ll do a Rib Roast in a few weeks. Not wasting that cut on my parents who won’t eat any meat that isn’t cooked to death.
We did a rib roast, 40 minutes on the charcoal grill then finished in the oven (had a high temp of 9 below zero today). Came out perfect medium. Cheesy hasbrowns, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and a bottle of homemade apple Riesling. Freaking delicious!
Merry Christmas, glibs!

Don’t think Montana qualifies as nearby. But it would be at home on an older LA neighborhood. I love the old California stucco homes like yours

What if I want olive? Racist!
#5 oh my. *swoon
I usually don’t participate in this infantile display, but since it’s Christmas, 66 and 89.
I’d like to thank 21 for putting the Christ in Christmas. 76 is the bunny boiler. 88 is my date tonight. I’ll be in my bunk.
I think 39 likes me.
64 is from the beach near my house. 29 is mine, mahalo Santa
I am saddened to say, I must exclude #35 from the orgy. While she is in a dirndl, she is holding a beverage in a plastic cup. Ein Maß!!! She should know better.
Sorry #11. You have accomplished great things, but I don’t swing that way.
#69 is Alexa Pearl. #70 is Claire Abbot.
Orgy, excluding #11 and #35.
Who are they?
Who are what?
Jessica Rabbit dipped in ink!
Jessica Rabbit was an early influence on me.
Not much in the light department here. Haven’t had the time or money to do Mich here. Maybe next year.
I did find myself really missing a lot of the food from my childhood Christmases earlier today while making lunch for my toddler. Not sure I’ll be able to get a smoked turkey, but I think I’ll dig out my mom’s fudge recipe. If I make it by Julian calendar Christmas it counts.
Going to have to get some black eyed peas and cornbread for new years too.
I think I am overdue for a fish fry. The son and daughter-in-law will be here next week so that’s a plan. I will pick up catfish filets tomorrow. My gallon jug of tabasco is nearly empty. I better fix that.
“pick up catfish filets”
What? No noodling for them cats? I haz a disappoint, I envision Suthen noodling some 300 kilo catosaur, skinning it and frying it right there on the bank.
You cant noodle in Louisiana. It aint safe to do in alligator country. Now I can catch them by the basketful with traps and poles. The bayou here is chock full of them but why bother? Guillory’s has done it for me.
I am getting lazy in my old age.
First world problems continue to ruin everything.
“why bother”
a) the quiet
b) the drinking and thinking
c) no wife
d) no kids
e) the wonder and pride in your wife and kids’ eyes when you come home with a mess of fish
OK, e was totally made up, but the rest are all true. And shouldn’t you go catch a bunch of bream if you want a fish fry? I could never figure out you Southerners’ fascination with cat fish. I like catching them, but for eating bream are way better.
When I lived in Memphis I would go catch a bunch of bream and crappies in the spring and then put on a fish fry for my red neck friends. They would all tell me that catfish were better, but they also ate approximately 42 pieces of fish each, so they may have been lying.
It is easy to get boneless filets from catfish. and they are tasty. Bream, bass, perch, crappie etc are a lot more work to eat, but we do fry them as well.
First time I had catfish, I threw up. More to do with just showing at Benning School for Boys in that nice Georgia humidity (in October! Wtf?).
Ever since though, I’ve liked it. A nice crispy finely ground corn meal coating on the outside. Yum!
Apparently, my decision to drop the purple potatoes into the crock pot last night was a good one. I had three layers – potatoes, onion and sausages (some water added to prevent sticking). The water plus the sausage drippings mixed with the potato starch to make a halfway decent gravy.
Dude, the purple potatoes turned the frogs gay!
You better wake the fuck up, because you are under attack.
We had our Christmas last night, so I’m at home alone doing absolutely nothing today, which is what I prefer to do on my days off. Some friends might stop by later, and if that happens I’ll probably throw this pork shoulder on the BBQ.
I’m also trying to bake croissants for the first time. The dough is almost ready for its first “rolling and folding” step.
good luck.
Are you naked under the apron?
What apron?
😉
Real live croissants? That is a lot of work from what I hear. I have a recipe for a cheating easy way to make puff pastry that makes some nice tarts.
They just went in the oven.
However, I made a little pain au chocolat out of the dough trimmings, and I’ve got to say I’m very pleased with the results. It wasn’t particularly difficult; just a lengthy process. You basically make a very basic bread dough, encase some butter in it, roll it flat, chill it, and go through a few more cycles of rolling, folding, and chilling, then you slice them into triangles, roll them into the croissant shape, let them rise, and bake them.
Everyone’s been wrong about the best Christmas music so far.

OK. With the cold weather I’ve been digitizing the olde family photos and there’s a lot of neat car shots. Nothing real exotic, but some fun things. I’ll start putting them up.
Please do
Seconded.
No Mikey, you are correct, I love this tune!
Anyone watch the Great War channel on YT? it’s very well done, and taken as a whole it is quite a feat, highly detailed
I would also like to recommend a channel that has partnered with The Great War in the past: C&Rsenal. They’re doing a full rundown of the history and development of all the major small arms of the war, and it’s fascinating. Should be right up the alley off the more gun nut glibs (which better be all of us).
When I was in pearl harbor there was a standing contest between all the pierside ships every year. You’ve already got the official holiday pennants, etc up per federal regs – but the Commodore and/or admirals would also swing around on one night on a little tug and give us an inspection – for the ‘extra’ decorations – best ship would get an mwr-funded holiday party.
2013 – our DDG smoked the cruiser, etc – even though we had just got back from deployment. Think it helped that one of our senior IT chiefs was a fanatic (apparently one of the best on island with synced light/music at his house, etc. ) That and the prepped cookies. Good times.
Iirc they also did night time free public tours using the Arizona memorial boats a couple nights every year.
I love Taxpayer money spent like that, at least it looks nice
Instapundit has Victoria’s Secret girls AND the FLOTUS pics posted, Damn fine Lady
Crikey, when is the last time FLOTUS was a milf? I can’t even remember.
Kennedy?
She had a Big ass, unfashionable at the time IIRC, but Pretty.
/Laura Bush?
Wait… wut? Pics or it didn’t happen.
THAT is the picture, HM saves my (her?) ass!
Big asses were unfashionable during the prime of Marilyn Monroe? She was very hourglass-shaped.
But actually very petit, I have proof on my wall
Virginia Postrel proved that with hard evidence. Marilyn ranged from a Size 1-3, back before they “adjusted” the sizes up so chicks wouldn’t think they were too fat. Results now behind a paywall
Marilyn Monroe lifted weights, though pay no attention to the fact that the pictured weights are baby weights.
I didn’t know what a milf was. In fact, I couldn’t spell it. Do I need to get off your lawn? I thought I was the old man here.
I’m not the Oldest, but close, someone is 57,58? I’m 54
/I don’t have a lawn, get off my red Bark
YOU get off MY lawn!
57, get off my lawn, Yusef! I’m 58 in 3 days.
IT WAS YOU!!!
Happy Birthday Old man
Thank you, Yusef, I am enjoying my shitlord privilege a lot, lot, lot.
I turned 57 three weeks ago.
But I’m a very young 57. 😉
OMG, does that mean I’m the old guy on Glibs?
I thought there were several posters in their 60s.
Listen up, snapper. I’m a younger 57, because I said so! And I have the white privilege to prove it!
And YOU TOO! Old Man!
You Hope there are several poster in their 60s
FIFY
Jesus you fuckers are old.

I thought everyone here was a hip millennial!(big ol’ sarc tag there) I’ve been catfished!

/what millennials think
I wonder who the youngest Glib is. I think it might be Doom.
What about SP? She’s ageless.
Yeah, I forgot she was only 7. I doubt anyone is younger.
We have some ‘occasionals’ who are down in the early 20’s, and then Riven’s barely legal.
There are definitely a few in our 20s . I’m 26. Probably not any high schooler globs.
I figured right about you then, You and Doom seem Young to me, not in a bad way at all
26 as well.
My Daughter is 29, My Son is almost 26, both Cool and Libertarian as I could make them
There are 3 of us who are 26? Damn, didn’t expect that.
Hope for the future after all.
23 over here.
17, well for the next 6 days.
How the fuck did you end up here?
Been reading TOS since I was 13 or 14, and came over post progification.
Welcome!
I thought I was the old man here.
You have me beat. 41. If the woman is good looking, fun, and old enough to buy a beer legally, then she’s game in my book.
I went to visit my 82 year old grandfather once. He was living alone then. I showed up unannounced. Before I could knock on the door I heard commotion inside. Concerned, I stepped around the corner and looked in the window just in time to see him run past chasing two naked, giggling women that appeared to be in their mid-twenties.
I went home then returned the next day.
We can only hope………
That is a beautiful story. I hope to attract women like that when I am that age.
A good friend of mine is in his 60s and has three girlfriends. They all know about each other and get along.
Seems some others share my appreciation for Ertha Kiitt. She died on this day in 2008.
This video is her doing A’int Misbehavin’ with Jools Holland the same year – she was 81.
Wow.

Pure joy, there. Thanks for linking!
Later is a really fun show. Jools is one of the coolest guys on the planet.
I like the nighttime pictures. And the cat picture.
Thanks, Kittah was a hard one to take. I’m watering my Desert right now, and it seems that things are starting to bloom again, like this
https://photos.app.goo.gl/yGO6D3mf5wVYhmUa2
Excellent! My landscaping is under snow. No flowering for a few months.
Same in Minnesota. But I grow airplants at work to stay sane in the long winters.
Why are you on the road today? Have fun, and Merry Christmas Girl!
Maybe I should consider that to keep sane.
Embracing insanity is the only way to survive a Minnesoda winter.
Insanity is the only way to explain stuff like cross country skiing, ice fishing or hope for a Vikings playoff run. The voices in your head are the only ones who won’t axe murder you during a prolonged bout of sub-zero weather that keeps you trapped with “loved ones”.
Shit, your squeeze wears a kilt, so he is stuck inside at what? 40? 32? This coming week is supposed to be pretty bad. He goes outside in a kilt with any wind, his balls won’t jingle, they’ll just shatter.
After it being discussed over the past few days, I had to watch Die Hard late this morning with my leftovers brunch. Awesome movie. I then had to bring myself back to reality and watch The Big Short. That is a great movie too, but I wish they had went into the Gov regs that encouraged all those bad loans and not just blame the whole collapse on greedy corrupt banks. I also saw, for those of you with Prime, that Snow Beast is now available there. It is a late 70’s era horror flic with a STEVE SMITH slant that was filmed around my neck of the woods when I was a kid. One of the scenes was done in the High School gym. It is a terrible movie but if you have weed or lots of booze you might enjoy it.
I watched a Mae West movie today, and A Clockwork Orange yesterday.
Better than car crash YT videos
I have Stalingrad by Wolfgang Peterson keyed up to watch (not the awful Russian or American movies) to bring some downer this evening.
I drank a 750 mL bottle of Smaichlaus Helles, followed by a 22 oz bottle of Blackbeard’s Breakfast, and finishing with a shot of Boulard V.S.O.P.. I think I’m a bit drunk.
Working on 6 Tropical Torpedos and I got a Chocolate Cherry Stout from a local brewery to go with Dinner, which is now Grilled cheese on Italian with Campbells tomato soup, and Candy/Pie

That Chocolate Cherry Stout looks good.
We shall see, I decided to spend my Bonus on Christmas partying for all, Tuesday, it’s back to Cobras, which is fine, I have lot’s of work this week.
So my brother (adopted) decided to take the Ancestry DNA test. Now we gotta sit here & stew for 6-8 weeks! I’m excited for him. Of course, he thinks he’s gonna be Native ‘Merican and get some of that casino lucre.
Merry Christmas KK! having a good one I hope?
Indeed – got a couple of Omaha steaks in the sous vide. Merry Christmas back atchya!
*facepalm*
I cant understand why anyone would give their DNA to those people. You know they have to be selling it to guys with badges. No way in hell would I give mine. No matter the results it doesnt change who I am.
Because not needing to think about Second order problems isn’t required in the First World, C’Mon, get with the Program Comrade!
Yeah, I was talking with my parents about the same thing. We were watching TV and the commercial came on that went “I thought I was German and I was so proud, but then I found out I was really mostly Scottish, so now I’m so proud of that.”
Be proud of who you are, not where your ancestors fucked.
Cuando una gringa te llama, “daddy”.…
Hell Yes HM! My Son immediately knew it
Mmmmm, meringue….
Lemon?
Butterscotch meringue pie mmmmmmmmmmmm
I haven’t been Latin dancing in quite a while.
I find those people to be annoyingly self-absorbed.
I feel no need to adopt and identify with some other culture or dress up in a costume. I am an American and proud of that.
This, Merry Christmas and God bless you and the Family
The same back at you and everyone else here. I missed the cane fight earlier. Never mind, I will just go outside and yell at some clouds.
Glad someone caught that 😉
Don’t forget Suthen, that you can also get screwed if you have a family member who sends in their DNA. Familial matches can also be done.
But why worry? We all know that the cops would never abuse this type of info. I’m sure they would realize that familial matching is just statistical profiling and not “proof” of anything.
Rumor has it my brother has a sibling. WOuld be nice if he could connected with them, or cousins or aunts or uncles.
A coworker of mine was adopted. One day at work he told me that his real father had reached out to him through an adoption agency to see if he wanted to talk.
My buddy hemmed and hawed for a while and then met him. Turns out his birth father was fabulously wealthy and intelligent. They have had a great relationship for the last twenty years or so. Hope your brother has similar luck.

It is dumping snow at Copper Mountain. This storm is a bigtime overproducer.
Wet or dry? I have Heard Park in Utah has some of the best powder, I did Monarch once, a Lifetime experience
Copper is usually pretty dry
Ya, the purist say Utah has the best snow. I am meh on that but I am not the skier I was in my youth. I grew up skiing CB and Monarch.
I skied Park City two years in a row – no snow. Second year we had slush at the base. Fuck Utah (I actually really like Utah).
Copper’s base is at 10,000′ feet, so snow is pretty much a given.
Looks like about 12″ so far.
woo!
I lived in Canon City, and I picked up a Kid from Pueblo who paid for gas, A Libertarian moment (to be sure)
Oh come on now. They got 5″. It moved out of here pretty fast but that sometimes means nothing on the other side of the mtns. The N Central areas have got more snow, but it still nothing like last year.
12″ since about am
5am
You sure that is not 12 cm? Their snow report says 5″. I can’t see the cam, my plugin is outdated and I am to lazy to update.
The 5″ was taken early this morning and is for the previous 24 hours. Tomorrow morning it’ll be in the 12 – 14″ range when they take the measurement again. There’s 13″ on the cam right now.
No cooking for me. Have dinner reservations at a restaurant in downtown Chicago.
Here’s my tree and kitteh picture:
Tree.
Merry Christmas, y’all!
Pretty tree, where’s Kittah?
Photobombing in lower left. She is one of my 2 calicos.
Ahhh, KITTAH! (think Eric Cartman)
Who doesn’t?
Great minds?…
Something like that!
Here is a clearer picture of tree and kittah from another year.
Love it, but whats the Tele in the Background?
/sniffs out guitar
It’s a Fender Aerodyne. It is no longer part of his harem, as he sold it earlier this year.
He is a bass player, but has plenty of 6 strings too.
All Bass players play Guitar, we have to, i’d have bought it from you, looks purty
SP has been pushing hard for us to get a bass. I am totally jelly.
Mr Hayeksplosives Bass collection includes a 1979 Rickenbacker 4001 fireglow, a 1988 Steinberger XM2TA (a technological marvel with carbon fiber neck and trans tremelo–they don’t make them like that anymore), a Fender jazz and matching Fender precision in tobacco sunburst with tortie pickguard, 1982ish ibanez roadstar II (a matching pair full size and small, one of which he made into a fretless), and one cheapie Squire from Craigslist that sounds GREAT, esp. considering the $50 pricetag. There are probably more. Oh, yeah, an Epiphone pro 4 Thunderbird. Sweet.
#bassprivilege
I have a 1st year Squire, and an Affinity, both P, both Sunburst. i also have a tobacco BG29 by Fender, an Acoustic Electric, not counting my other Teles,
🙂
#Telecaster Privilege
I don’t have a musical bone in my body, but as an electrical engineer, I enjoy rewiring his guitars and am teaching myself vacuum tube amps and radios just for grins.
I was so horrified at the wiring of his burgundy Fender Stratocaster (an unusually good sounding Mexi), that I replaced it all with Teflon insulated wire installed to Mil-Spec. I hate sub-par wiring.
I bet the cats like that contraption in the back. Lots of things to climb and lounge on.
They do indeed. It’s from New Cat Condos in Arizona. Much sturdier than the crap they sell at Petco and Pet smart. They sell through Overstock.com too.
UPDATE: The croissants came out great.
I didn’t get around to making these for quite a while because I thought it required some super-advanced culinary skill, but it doesn’t. You just have to keep the butter cold until you shape them into the croissant shape. When you’re in the rolling and folding stages, work quickly and get it back into the fridge as soon as possible.
One of my neighbors must have got a new gun for christmas. I am all for shooting behind the house but I like to have eyes on them so I can see if I am down range. I can’t see who this is blasting away out there. That always makes me nervous.
Many years ago this happened to My friends and I, we were not pleased with the idiot City boy and his idiot kids, he left the area in haste
I know what you mean. All of my neighbors shoot. I hear gunfire daily. I had to stop shooting at my place. Straight back from the house is the bayou. People show up to fish and I cant always tell when they are there. Some people moved in not far down the road and they have children. children like to play in the woods. I had a hillside that I could use as a backstop but one morning I went out to drink coffee on the porch and saw two young girls making their way across that hillside. Now I only shoot to test reloads and then I just shoot down at the ground.
A month ago I had to run a guy off of my place. People like to make their way along the bayou and shoot ducks and squirrels. Also, my house cant be seen from the bayou. Some guy was doing that. I had just walked out in the yard when he shot. It damned near made me jump out of my skin. Then a rain of pellets on my roof. I dont care if people walk across my land or fish from the bank, but damned, they cant squirrel hunt in my yard.
On reflection, We wanted to kick his ass, and he was afraid, and he had the guns. A responsible Gun owner would never do such a thing in the first place, not even my opinion, just common sense, and certainly wouldn’t be afraid
I wasn’t mad at the guy. He was apologetic. He just couldn’t see my house from where he was hunting even though he was only a couple hundred feet from it. He hadn’t hunted there in 20 years and didn’t know that people had moved in here and all the land along the bayou was private. 20 years ago it was all timberland and cow pastures and no one cared if people hunted there.
My next door neighbor was blowing up tannerite filled pumpkins a few weeks ago He puts them on the hill right behind my house. I trust him as he is a full fledged gun nut who knows what he is doing and would never shoot in my direction. I finally saw who this is out there shooting now. I don’t know these people. I would not shoot in the direction they are shooting, but at least it is not my direction. You would be hard pressed to find someone not familiar with guns around here, but stupid people do tend to reside in all areas.
And yes, buck shot on the roof is a sure way to get escorted away from someones house.
” blowing up tannerite filled pumpkins”
I did that last year after Halloween. Boy, was I sorry. A hundred goddamned pumpkin vines sprouted up all over my yard in the spring.
HAHA
/Nelson Muntz
I’ve been told that squashes of all kinds hybridize like motherfuckers, and you have to keep different types carefully separated if you want anything edible to be produced. So don’t do the tannerite thing with butternut squash or whatever next year…
Nothing grows in my neighborhood unless it is irrigated. No worries of that. I live in the adobes and it doesn’t rain much.
A couple of years ago I was walking home just before dark on a trail on the back part of the property when suddenly I thought I saw a light. I stopped and started looking and sure enough, somebody had trespassed and set up a trail camera. I should have taken the damn thing down, but Mom was still alive and with her dementia the thought of her finding out somebody might have trespassed out back would have sent her into extreme screaming fits.
The last 5 anecdotes show that some people are just mentally lazy, and don’t think past immediate gratification
I used to shoot my bow in my backyard. I don’t do it anymore because I discovered that NH law restricts shooting bows and firearms within 100 yards of residences. I’d need to get written permission of my neighbors (two of them have houses within 100 yards of mine) in order to legally shoot my bow in my backyard.
I was working in my (home) office late one evening, when I heard a loud THWAP!. Didn’t really think much of it — a bird must’ve flown into the side of the house or something. It wasn’t until a couple of days later that I noticed the hole through my bedroom wall (about 8 feet directly above my head, as I sit in my office)… and through the opposite wall… and through a door… and in yet another wall. I cut that last wall open, eventually finding that it was a 30-06, 7mm rem mag, or somesuch, which had gone through around 7 studs, after entering (at a very shallow angle) that wall.
I hadn’t heard any other shots, so figured it must’ve been an accidental discharge. I didn’t try to call the cops or go around the neighborhood asking questions or making accusations, because I didn’t see what would be the point. I just figured, whoever did it already knew what they’d done, and had probably already spent at least one sleepless night worrying that the cops were on the way, and/or that they might’ve completely ruined their life.
I want to take the time to thank Riven for all the work She does to make my posts legible, She does all the alt text as well, it always makes me smile (the stockings are in the lower left) Shout out!
And all the editors and individuals who make this a great place to be,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

I made the Barefoot Contessa’s seafood chowder for Christmas dinner at my wife’s request. It was a surprise hit with my parents who surprised us by showing up for brunch (mom cooked) and then staying for dinner. Apparently, they thought they were invited, and neither of us bothered to tell them we didn’t intend it that way. And a good time was had by all.
Good on You! Merry Christmas
I got Glibs branded pint glasses for Christmas. ??
I made filet mignon for dinner, it was divine. Today was a good day.

Dark, almost Black, can’t taste the alcohol, the Cherry is a note not a flavor, pretty meh for the price, i’ll let it warm up a bit,

Warmer, now the Cherry is coming through, a bit sour, I like Sour
Good. Some beers taste better when warmer.

wow. Does that thing have a chainsaw engine? That is a big damn R/C plane.
4 cylinder, 40 hp and Gary is Crazy, this one died at an airshow so he bought another, A Yak 540, 15k$
That is impressive. If I am spending 15K on a toy though it is going to be something I can ride or sit in like a motorcycle, snow mobile, or Polaris Razor.
Sybian? I think you could get a couple for that kind of money
If I had a vagina I would be riding one of those right now. From the research I have done they look quite pleasurable.

I was going to make a list of all the crazy things Trump is alleged to have done or said. It’s a pain in the ass to find the stuff because you have to sift through a pile of shit to find what you’re looking for. Try doing a Google search “Media Lies about Trump” and you’ll see what I mean.
Don’t forget golden showers.
Thank you. I’m getting more relevant search results by scouring my rotten memory than I am from Google.
Also he is a closet Prog. I bought into that one. Other than keeping his daughter around who is indeed a full blown prog, I have not seen evidence of it.
He will start WW3. That is a popular one. Even around here. It has only been a year though, so there is still time for that one.
List what he has done, and Merry Samhain, you ex-patriot,
/day late 🙂
Nice lights BTW, MC YDaK.
All I need to know about the man is that he takes his steaks well done and doesn’t like dogs. Sociopath if I ever saw one.
really? doesn’t like Dogs? I seriously don’t trust him at all now, that is a Character flaw (or your a Mooslim)
I think a more important question is, what’s his opinion of cats?
Especially fluffy cats that sit on your lap and purr, and nuzzle your forehead in gratitude when you lean over.
Kill them All!
/except for my Kittah
As far as I know the man has no use for pets of any kind, he is the first POTUS without a pet and he has never had one. Reportedly he forbids his children and personal assistants from owning pets and has ‘no pets’ clauses written in to the leases for all his rental properties.*
*I may have totally made that up but good enough for Breitbart, good enough for me.
Ass, I thought that was real news
The part about not having pets is true.
I am pretty sure the no pets policy is due to the Hair. A puppy would tear the shit out of the Hair. I am surprised the Hat has not talked Donald into getting a puppy.
Bella would have taken down the Hat and Hair in 10 minutes tops
Mooslim? Shit, not liking dogs or wanting them around is clearly Skynet material.
After 8 years of having shiploads of outrageous bullshit dumped on us by Obama and Hillary’s inability to say anything that isnt a bald faced lie and the media covering for them it is pretty rich now hearing them criticize Trump. On top of that they just make shit up. If he’s so bad then just tell us the truth about why.
If you have to lie to make your case you dont have a case worth making.
I don’t have any special insight that others haven’t already pointed out. There are a million reasons to hate Trump, but the pathetic shit people are making up about him is worse than the birther stuff. And the media was calling the birther stuff out not being the main pushers of it.
I dont see the reasons to hate him. My only complaint is his stance on the WOD. He is funny looking and has annoying mannerisms but who cares? I didn’t hire the man to be charming. He is pissing off all of the right people, the economy is coming back alive, he seems sensible and straightforward on more issues than most people…I just dont see the hate.
Twin Minds? thanks, but scary too 🙂
He is President. Government. On foreign policy, you could go after him on Yemen at least.
I wish we would step back on all of it, but if your gonna swing your Dick, make sure it’s the biggest one
Wrong! I heard on NPR just last week that Obama only lied 18 times throughout his presidency according to the “fact checkers”. Trump was something like 150 in his first year.
I yelled at the radio on that one. Tump does spew a bit too much BS for my taste, like claiming this tax bill is the biggest tax cut and reform in history, but fuck me if Obama only lied 18 times. Every time he opened his mouth about the ACA it was a lie and I know damn good and well he spoke of it more than 18 times.
“Fact checkers” are useless. It’s just one more layer into which human bias can be inserted.
It’s extraordinarily rare for a human being to be so level-headed and fair-minded as to report “just the facts” with none of their bias showing through, and it’s even rarer for such a person to go into journalism.
The whole idea of an unbiased media is a joke to begin with.
I grew up under Carter and Reagan. I don’t remember it being this petty and boring. Obviously, social media and the internet in general has enabled spread of ridiculous stories. It’s annoying, but I guess that’s just human nature being given a wider platform to infect each other’s minds with bullshit.
My father and his contemporaries (mid 70’s) hate.. HATE ..Jimmy Carter, It’s petty and vulgar I have asked them exactly why they hold him in such disdain and it always boil down to the economy while he was in office. If I point out that presidents don’t really control that they just shrug and tell me he was an asshole anyways.
Carter bailed out the USSR…twice if I remember correctly. They were on the verge of collapse and the closet pinko bailed them out. Same shit with Obama and Iran only Iran is worse. We lost the Panama canal. We had a gasoline shortage and the economy went to shit. Carter is as much of a progressive as Obama. At least back then we had the sense to vote him out after one term.
We got to vote Reagan though, Apples and Nukes,big difference, for the good
The Iran hostage thing is the only reason needed to hate Carter. Hate is too strong, dislike is a better word. As to the economy, were there not something like 14-15% interest rates and high taxes under Carter? Doesn’t an executive branch office set said interest rates and influence tax policy?
Carter gave away our canal, tried to poison the marijuana supply, created departments of energy AND education.
Most of his bad rap comes from that whole “America had its day but things are different now. Get used to suck because that’s the new normal we deserve for our past sins…blah…blah..blah…”
Obama kinda tried the same shit at first but wisely abandoned it.
One of the things that cemented Carter as a failed president was his “malaise speech”, which if I remember correctly took the form of a PSA with him walking around in a thick sweater urging people to lower the temperature on the thermostat.
Then there was the rabbit incident , the scandals surrounding his brother, and the “lust in his heart” interview with Playboy magazine. And then there was the Iran Hostage crisis.
None of it looked presidential in a time when presidents were expected to look presidential. Reagan’s ebulliant (Trump-like) presidency helped further the narrative that Carter was a weak, indecisive leader.
Jimmy Carter is a cat-killer
Post-presidency confirmed kill:
https://hotair.com/archives/2007/11/07/jimmy-carter-cat-slayer/
He shot his sister too:
https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/articles/teaching-content/fun-and-interesting-facts-about-president-jimmy-carter/
“History’s Greatest Monster” has a lot of truth in it.
Created the department of… education
Fake News! Nominally yes ,but the feds were way up our ass on education way before Jimmy, To blame him for the mess of our education system is a biased history twisting.
Obama kinda tried the same shit at first but wisely abandoned it.
When did he abandon it? I am pretty sure that is the central theme of his squllion dollar speeches to this day.
Carter, like Obama, did so many things not in the best interest of the US that I have to wonder if it was deliberate. Ok, I dont really wonder.
Jimmy Carter is a cat-killer
He shot his sister too
shooting trespassing looters and defending oneself from wrench wielding attackers is as libertarian as it gets, I was only halfheartedly defending him, now I think he may be my new hero, Sayōnara Bernhard Goetz
One of the decisions Carter made is worth considering carefully though. He inherited the fallout from a severe recession, 9+% unemployment that evolved into a high interest high inflation period. As his presidency proceeded, the economy proceeded pretty well, with unemployment improving and the economy in general strengthening.
And then 1979 happened. Energy Crisis, and almost all the gains made in the first half of his presidency were pissed away. He appointed Paul Volcker to head the Fed, whose policies (possibly justified) hurt people in their pockets. Carter introduced Credit Control measures and the resulting downturn was deep and sharp, just at the time he was trying to get re-elected.
Gotta give Carter credit for nominating Volker. Raising interest rates to 20% is to kill stagflation is not something we’re likely to see again. *Massive financial crisis not included.
Lastly, let’s not forget that whatever kind of legacy Carter had created when he left office has only been enhanced by his constant and loud whining and bitching about subsequent presidents’ foreign policies, particularly the Middle East and Cuba, and his ongoing activism in subsequent presidential campaigns.
The man just can’t shut his yap.
Oh I get it, but they had several stories last week about fact checking. One how Facebook is now using them. I loved that one. To stop fake news FB hired a group of people to push their own fake news. Awesome. They peddle that shit like it is the solid truth and FactCheck.org is above reproach and unbiased. A bunch of people believe it.
At my family’s Christmas yesterday, they just HAD to start ranting about how Trump is so terrible and Obama was a wonderful speaker who blah blah blah, and when someone said Trump is a sociopathic narcissist, I just lost it and blurted out, “You’re describing EVERY president!” They countered that “at least Obama spoke facts”, and the first thing that came to mind was him parroting the “wage gap” statistic, so I brought that up, we debated whether or not it exists for a while, and then the subject changed.
It just makes me sick that people are still harping on about Obama’s speaking abilities. The guy is stammering and uttering “uuuhhhh” every three words, and he was chuckling during his inauguration ceremony (the part about upholding the Constitution, if I remember right). The media just says he’s a great orator, and people just believe it despite the fact that he’s a stammering moron even when he’s reading a ghost-written speech from a teleprompter.
Tell us how you really think
/+1000
Forget it Akira, Its Partisanshiptown.
I have heard the same crap.
” A great speaker? You mean like when he said if you own a small business you didn’t build that, someone else made it happen? Or the time he said he wanted to cause energy prices to skyrocket? All his speeches about people paying their fair share? And lets not forget the time he said we cant just keep eating as much as we want. Those must be the speeches you mean, right?”
I found that to be an effective way to put a stop to that bullshit.
“someone” decided that, not you, not me, again People are STUPID, and respond to what feels good,
this is how you get Trump, sorry for the Cliche,but it’s true
Definitely over rated. It’s incredible really that people still think he’s a great speaker/orator. He was so puerile, unimaginative and clunky.

It can’t be stated enough the realm of conversation this place enables, from the expected political conversations, to the embodiment of sexual harassment that is Q, to debates on religious ceremony to music links and the mind warp that are sugarfree stories. This place is truly a scourge upon humanity. God bless each and everyone one of you hermit kings.
Muh links!
I know, right? Have they ever been this late?
Man, one holiday comes up, and suddenly they get lazy. Especially unacceptable when they have (((them))) on staff that don’t even celebrate it anyway.
Ant People? again?
(((They))) can still get drunk and hungover on Christmas
(((OMWC))) was busy all night with that Santa suit.
Today isn’t a holiday anyway. Some of us have to work.
Yup. Had yesterday off, now it’s back to the grind. Some of us don’t get to be lazy and just sleep off a hangover from last night. DON’T ANY OF YOU WORK!?
So far it’s me and three consultants in the office.
I have today off.

Why should I waste my days off for a snowy, dark, somewhat chilly day in late December? It’ll be almost guaranteed to be quiet at work, and I can use my leave later on.
This isn’t leave. I have not been there long enough for that to kick in yet. This is still, “Offices Closed for Christmas”.
Oh, so not PTO I’m guessing?
Power Take Off? No I am not part of a tractor. I do drive them on occasion though.
I wish.
Paid time off still makes no sense to me. Why should anyone get paid for time not worked? But that won’t stop me from making use of it.
Oh ya, I am getting paid to sit on my ass today and read Glibs. (like most frequent posters here. I just didn’t have to go to work to do it) I got paid for yesterday too. First time in my life I have had a job with paid holidays. It is all new to me.
Same here. Normally get Xmas Eve and day off, but with CE falling on the weekend we got today off.
On the other hand, my poor wife had to go to work – 8:30AM court, and she has a cold too.
Bummer. I am surprised the courts are open today.
If you were in the holding cell, you’d be glad the courts were open today.
Bullocks. It’s Boxing Day.

Should White Supremacists Be Allowed To Practice Law?
Well since all people that aren’t tankies are Nazis, I guess we have to ban them too.
“appealing his conviction for teaching and conducting paramilitary training”
That’s against the law?
Lol this psycho again.
Since this is the HuffPo, and there’s no citation, gonna have to take this claim with a grain of salt.
“he fasted and prayed in the desert. When he returned home to Florida, he slaughtered a goat and drank its blood”
Was it at least his own goat?
So, licensed journalists and now ideological tests for practicing law. Fine, but I get to set the standards.

“A man who pretended to be a doctor in order to try and find a boyfriend was allowed access Queensland hospitals for six months after tricking staff members.
Nicholas Brett Delaney, 25, made regular visits to Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House in South Brisbane between May and December, passing himself off as “Dr Nick Delaney” and regularly accessing staff only areas.
He was caught when a staff member noticed he mispronounced basic medical terms.”

“”I thought I knew before adopting my daughter that I was in White privilege, that I understood what that meant,” Davis said. “But until you actually have a child, which is like your heart being outside you, and that heart happens to be in a brown body, and you have people who are actively working against your child, it’s hard. It fills me with terror.”
Davis then went on to share her emotional reaction following the announcement of Trump’s election win, noting that the idea of Trump in the White House has caused her to become even more fiercely protective of her child. “My initial thoughts on Wednesday morning was that I wanted to move to the woods and learn to shoot a gun,” Davis continued. “It makes no sense. I’m fully aware. I’m 100 percent aware that it literally makes no sense. The fear of what is happening and how am I going to make sure that no one hurts my child, even in a subtle way, which was already a fear I had, obviously, but it just became so, so heightened.”
Most importantly, Davis is adamant about ensuring that her daughter grows up knowing her worth as a strong, beautiful Black woman: “I have to tell her, ‘Your curls are beautiful, your black skin is beautiful. You’re beautiful. You’re powerful. You’re a goddess,’ because she needs to know this.””

I’m sorry lady, but your rambling makes me suspect you are unfit to be either a parent or a gunowner.
Now the question I have for you, is why do you want to give me the authority to take both these things from you based on that assessment?
You misunderstand – YOU won’t have that authority, the right people will and they will use it against YOU, not [her].
And when it does turn against her, she will be bewildered and wonder why comrade Big Brother isn’t saving her.
I am a government bureaucrat.
Government bureaucrats will be administering the system.
She has confessed to a degree of instability unsuitable for the roles…
Oh snap! Did I do that right?
Literally.
“My initial thoughts on Wednesday morning was that I wanted to move to the woods and learn to shoot a gun,”

“…a brown body…”
Has anyone pointed out to these creepy collectivists their glaring, rampant projection?
‘A brown body’ = a thing. It is pretty obvious who the racist is.
my lily-wife gets rather brown after a summer of pool and beach time. Does that count? 😉
Pics or it didn’t happen.

I call bullshit. He’s Australian. They mispronounce everything.
Yep. And the word cunt is used as punctuation.

She was a talented, stylish painter, and her most frequent subjects were herself, Nelson Mandela, and Jesus. She was an inveterate smasher of phones. She threw one across the room while talking to her father, who struggled with an addiction to painkillers and who she sensed was stoned, and cracked another one falling from a tree she’d climbed in a fit of whimsy. A third phone met its fate when it simply wasn’t working. “How hard is it to be a phone?” she yelled, threw it, smashed it.”

Breitbarts Mat Boyle?
Doubt it.
What’s likely the case is that TDS caused her hot/crazy ratio to tip too far into the crzy and he left.
In no world does that girl’s hotness/crazy quotient fall inside the tolerable range. Maybe she has a banging body, but it’d have to be Q-worthy.
Well, not now. It might have been hidden better before.
Stupid parents deserve the daughter they named. Poor girl, I doubt she ever really had a chance.
TLDR but skimmed. Seems pushy controlling person + TDS + access to Top Secret docs = idiotic decision that got said person arrested.
What did she really release? A document that said the Russians attempted hacks on government systems? Ya, big news scoop there.

“Woman accuses United of giving her seat to Houston’s Sheila Jackson Lee
“Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared to be, upon reflection, because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target along with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice,” Jackson Lee said in the statement. “This saddens me, especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work on to help people. But in the spirit of this season and out of the sincerity of my heart, if it is perceived that I had anything to do with this, I am kind enough to simply say sorry.”
Simon said Jackson Lee’s statement accused her of racism, adding: “I had no idea who was in my seat when I complained at the gate that my seat had been given to someone else,” she said. “There is no way you can see who is in a seat from inside the terminal.””

There is a tampon tax?
yes. 55% and a blow job
“Fair Rights.” So, women are now included in selective service?
I make the mistake of thinking humanity is generally good – and then I wade into twitter comments.
Name me one right I have that you don’t, bitch!
“Male Allies” – Men who can’t compete with other men and so use the cloak of ideology to get closer to women.
Actually, there’s a bit of a history lesson there.
In the EU there is an abomination mistakenly called the “Value-Added Tax” which does not add value, and makes everything more expensive while hiding the true cost from the consumers. This VAT is 20% on almost everything.
Goods classified as ‘Luxury” goods can have a different rate set for them. The UK reclassified Tampons as Luxury goods so that they could be taxed at the EU-minimum of 5% instead of the VAT standard of 20%.
Feminists saw this “Luxury” classification on the books and began shrieking as though this were 5% on top of VAT rather than instead of. It then metastasized to a call for feminine hygene products to be untaxed everywhere.
“Value-Added Tax” which does not add value, – oh come one no one claims it does
makes everything more expensive – in general yes but there is also supply demand involved, tax just takes money from people which distorts markets, but in general you can afford fewer things in real terms
Pie, that was what you would call “a joke” While the luxury tax information was true, I was endeavoring to present it in a humorous framing device.
well i’m sorry I never know with you , being so curmudgeonly all the time
Fair wage is a doll fifty an hour. If you make more than that it is more than fair.
No victim blaming -most victim blaming is not victim blaming but reason
No body shaming – unless you are obese people will most likely not body shame you
No bullshit diets – no one if forcing bullshit diets on anyone, just eat right and exercise. People choose bullish diets cause they sound good and effortless
Gender bias broken – like in schools where fewer men earn degrees on all levels?
Eh I agree with shame free breastfeeding whip em pout and feed the spawn
Equality – bleah
Proud working moms – plenty of those around
Male allies – like all those male feminists who grope and rape and assault women? More of those?
The question is who will be first on the new links? Everyone should be refreshing as we speak
They should program the site so that in the event that all the usual posters of links are too hung over to fulfill their duties, at a certain time a random commenter is automatically elevated to admin status and is then asked to post links.

No, you are supposed to post a picture of your dog.

Good point. OK, I’ll make one exception or that.
Okay fitness Glibs – My knee has decided to act up after snow clearance yesterday, and I’m looking for an alternative to squats until it behaves again. What would be my best options?
Drinking, or perhaps developing an opiate addiction. Or both.
A coke habit would address his goals more effectively.
I am just a gym goer but I can’t see an alternative to squats that is easy on the knees and is I assume something you can do in your home gym. Just body-weight / lower weight squats?
Leg press comes to mind but that requires gym gear…
also leg extensions and lunges
For me lunges are not much easier on the knees than squats
I’ll have to try those, see how my knee reacts.
Press is of course out of the question (my gear consists of dead weights)
Best option? Swimming.
As an old guy who has knee trouble I recommend lying on the couch.
My couch is more of a love seat, and I’d overhang both ends if I laid on it.
Tech bros perpetuate teh white slavery!
The tech sector’s many problems with women—from notoriously hostile workplaces and quotidian sexual harassment, to CEOs with histories of violence against women—have been widely reported for years, including a Newsweek cover story.
But one aspect of the industry’s bad behavior has received little attention: the widespread and often nonchalant attitude toward buying sex from trafficked women, a process made shockingly more efficient by internet technology. And some studies suggest that the tech sector, overwhelmingly male and requiring long, lonely hours on computers, has more avid consumers of prostitution than many other fields.
Trafficked wimminz!
Is this where we get into an argument over the differences between legalization and decriminalization?
Could it have something to do with many of these dweebs being young, bright, and socially inept? Nah.
Is this where we equate all sex workers with trafficked women?
“…some studies suggest …”
Translation: “We made this shit up.”
Newsweek = bullshit daily
Also, links are a up.
I’m looking for an alternative to squats until it behaves again. What would be my best options?
Step-ups.
are those easier on the knees?
are those easier on the knees?
Depends on how much the dumbbells weigh. I have preferred step-ups to squats for a long time.
