    OLD HOME WEEK IN ROCKY MOUNTAINS. STEVE SMITH LOVES MOUNTAINS, MANY PLACES TO FIND HIKERS.

    What a carnival ride.

    1. westernsloper

      I have to say I did not see that one coming.

  2. Playa Manhattan

    Does anyone have the score to the Cal game? My internet is down.

    1. SimonD

      Cal 35, North Carolina 30
      Final

      1. Playa Manhattan

        ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THEY WON????

  3. SimonD

    Now that Uber has a new CEO, employees say its board needs to “grow up”

    *sigh* I guess we have to deal with another company that’s more concerned with virtue signaling than…you know… actually being a business.

    BITCH ASK FOR IT

    Well, it’s not rape then. Are you slipping?

    “For England, people do toe wrestling”

    You just want to depress me on a Saturday night, don’t you? The pidgin BBC is unintentionally profound tonight.

    I read that they used to kill Nazis for England (real Nazis, not idiots in funny hats).

    On a positive note 49 minutes until the start of TCU’s football season

    (maybe we won’t suck this year)

      “For England, people do toe wrestling”

      For Limey Islan, that’s about as wild as it gets, except for having tea while toe wrestling. Anything wilder than that is only for soccer hooligans having pints.

      1. Festus

        Boarding school buggery and a nice cuppa!

      Sounds like India has just as bad a problem of people voting for science denying Republicans as what we have here.

    About five minutes ago, Poppy announced her retirement from making YouTube videos:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX-ohrHBNhk

    Also, over the last couple of days, it’s been suggested that Poppy and Charlotte may be the same person. See “Your Neighbor” and “Your Neighbor OFFICIAL” and give me another plausible explanation.

    Well, okay, it doesn’t necessarily need to be plausible.

    It’s just that Poppy and Charlotte being different aspects of the same person is better in some ways even if it’s more disturbing in others. Yeah, that means somebody else wasn’t really grabbing Poppy by the throat and choking her, but it suggests she might have been choking herself.

    . . . which isn’t a euphemism for anything, okay? Until or unless there’s a video of her actually spanking a monkey, it’s all as innocent as anything, okay? Jesus Christ, I can’t take you guys anywhere.

    1. The Elite Elite

      You’re Poppy?

      1. Hyperion

        He can’t be, I’m Poppy and I deny these untrue rumors of my early retirement.

      2. Ken Shultz

        I think everybody’s supposed to want to be Poppy.

        No, I’m not Poppy.

        Also, I think Poppy is supposed to be the personification of Popularity.

        Sort of like Athena being the goddess of wisdom.

        Everybody wants to be Popular.

        . . . supposedly. Personally, I’d rather be rich than famous, but that’s me.

    2. Yusef drives a Kia

      It’s disturbing you give a shit

      1. Ken Shultz

        Get over yourself.

      2. John Titor

        Real men care about almost decade old scifi shows that get cancelled after one season.

        1. Yusef drives a Kia

          more than a decade JT

        2. thrakkorzog

          Sorry, busy cleaning up my SG-1 reruns from the DVR. El Rey is starting up Atlantis on Tuesday with a kung-fu marathon over the weekend.

          1. John Titor

            Honestly, I can’t complain about SG-1. The series may have shit itself once Richard Dean Anderson left but they overwhelmingly produced something of cheesy scifi goodness. Atlantis was not bad either, but they really sunk the franchise with Stargate ‘We’re desperately trying to be BSG’ Universe.

          2. The Elite Elite

            Hey, Seasons 9 and 10 weren’t bad. There was a potential for a fresh new direction for the series with the new enemy. It just got canceled while they were still establishing the new baddies, so they had to make that poor rushed ending that was Ark of Truth. Although, if it had gone on long enough I’m sure some SJW types would’ve claimed “Islamophobia!” on the Ori.

          3. Rhywun

            Never saw a single episode. It looked so cheeseball.

          4. The Elite Elite

            SG-1 was a bit rough the first couple of seasons. Had some really cheesy, really bad episodes. But I’d say it started to get solidly good during the third year. Atlantis suffered a little bit from that the first year, but it had the benefit of an already established formula from SG-1, so only the first season was a little cheesy. Can’t really say about Universe. Watched the pilot and that was it. Like JT said, I got a total BSG feel from that pilot. Not what I’m looking for from Stargate, so didn’t even try any other episodes.

    3. Rhywun

      Poppy announced her retirement

      I LOLed at the end

      1. Chafed

        Me too.

        1. Festus

          It’s an art installation that kinda, sorta works. Think Warhol but with a smidge of originality and creativity. I bow down before my Poppy Overlord!

  7. Nephilium

    I didn’t want to step on the Servant who is not Civil, but this came across my feed earlier. I made it to the point the referenced hundreds of right wing attacks:

    Outside of left-leaning media outlets like ThinkProgress, Raw Story and, of course, The Daily Banter, you’d be hard pressed to find this kind of pearl clutching after any of the hundreds of right wing attacks that have occurred just since the election, never mind the hundreds (thousands?) over the 8 years of Obama’s presidency. It’s almost as if ideologically motivated crimes from the right don’t really count.

    1. Slammer

      LINK NO WORK.

      1. Nephilium

        That’s why I replied to myself… in shame.

        1. westernsloper

          That doesn’t count unless it was done from the box where you go to feel shame.

      2. John Titor

        STEVE SMITH LINK YOU GOOD.

    2. Hyperion

      The left are well trained in the psychological warfare of projection and gaslighting.

    3. did they bother to mention any specifics?

      1. Hyperion

        Specifics? You mean as in facts? Hah!

    4. Bob

      What attacks?

    5. leonadasiv

      Yup, i remember all those times tea partiers went out and beat their opponents on the streets.

      1. Well, according to the left, Words are Violence, especially disagreeing with progs, so there were hundreds of thousands of acts of violence!

        1. leonadasiv

          Well now it all makes sense. No wonder they hate Western Civilization, it’s constantly violently attacking their ideas.

          1. Drake

            They hate reality most of all.

        2. Hyperion

          Words that I don’t like are violence. Wrong think is violence. Capitalism is violence. Profits are violence. And all of this is an excuse to use real violence against the offenders. No one who is not a brainless sheep is in the least bit fooled by this drivel.

          What really concerns me is that I see some people on leftist sites, like DU, etc, pleading with their comrades to not start violence because they will be slaughtered by the opposition who have lots of weapons and will not be afraid to use them. These people are quickly shouted down. What I’m scared of is these idiots getting martial law declared after a bunch of them get dead and deservedly so, courtesy of the 2nd amendment.

          1. That’s funny, I just ordered the bits for an AR-15. I’m toying with the idea of buying another polymer lower while the Labor Day sale is on for an AR pistol in .300 AAC later on when the ol’ budget recovers.

    6. westernsloper

      Here’s the thing: Right wing violence is based on lies. All of it. They claim that the government is coming for their guns or that Obama is secretly working with terrorists to destroy America.

      1) the right wing violence is a figment of their imaginations as far as I know. Please tell me of the hundreds (thousands) of right wing attacks over the past 8 years.
      2) for that quote to be true, then those on the the left claiming that they don’t think people should have guns, including Hillary Clinton, must be liars. I am also pretty sure the bag of dicks known as President Obama gave what was it? 150 billion to the leading state sponsor of terrorism on the planet. I am sure that will just go to building schools though right?

      1. Gilmore

        Didn’t someone from the Democrat establishment just write an editorial about repealing the second amendment, like yesterday?

        ok, he was just some law-professor. if that. but still. I think its hilarious how they always roll their eyes and go, “NO ONE IS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS”, and then 2 seconds later they’ll turn to each other and go, “So, how do we take their guns, you think?”

        1. westernsloper

          Exactly. That is what I mean. I know I have mentioned it before, but prior to my bernie bro friends unfriending me, we were in a discussion about guns after the community college shooting in Oregon(?). One of them said no one should be allowed to have access to any firearms until the mental health situation in the US is fixed. Then the topic of the no fly list/no gun list came up. I said that any 2nd amendment proponent would eventually end up on that list and I was told that I was a paranoid nut. This from people who had just said that nobody should have access to guns. That is when they rolled out the meme with Sam Elliot that said something like, ‘Thinking gun control means people want to take your guns is like thinking birth control means they want to cut off your penis’.

          1. Gilmore

            They only think that shit is convincing because the average urban liberal has no idea what the gun laws in many states actually ARE. Whereas every gun owner is intimately familiar with the orwellian schemes already in place.

            The ‘activists’ think their rhetoric is clever and convincing… to each other. To the people that they actually direct it at – those concerned about left-wing attempts to criminalize possession of firearms – it sounds hollow, ignorant and in denial of reality.

        2. You you’d the link!

    7. Rhywun

      Do they really believe that the MSM is some right-wing cabal? That’s just… wow.

      It is, however, of paramount importance to highlight the race and/or religion of any killer that is not a white conservative Christian.

    The Loch Ness Monster is fake news.

    Big Foot is real, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he was behind the Loch Ness hoax–to throw people off the track of Big Foot.

    Also, the Yeti is real. Tere’s one on the cover of that Basement Jaxx CD.

    1. Ken Shultz

      Also, maybe one of the bestest music videos of all time came from that CD.

      You can keep the song, but the video is so disturbingly, awesomely . . . transhuman.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rAOyh7YmEc

      Top five videos ever? Absolutely!

      1. westernsloper

        That is indeed a great video.

          I see a picture of bigfoot as a whitey. I’m offended by his bigfoot privilege.

      not that it isn’t cute as all hell, just saying.

  13. westernsloper

    The library also included in their post that they “also cannot accept Canadian coins.”

    In other words, Canadian money is as valuable as Chucky Cheese tokens.

    1. Yusef drives a Kia

      Beer on Monitor 🙂

    2. Hyperion

      I have a Canuckistani 20 still from my last trip to Ontario. I need to get out to CO so I can buy some weed and roll a joint with it. I don’t even really want to smoke some weed, I just want to burn a Canuck 20, and what more Murikan way to do it?

      1. Slammer

        I heard that they did an analysis of Canadian bills, and 99% percent of had traces of snow on them

        1. A chicky boom boom down.

        2. Hyperion

          Nice, enhanced buzz for muh money.

        3. Rhywun

          So… one percent fewer than American bills?

      2. Isn’t Canadian money plastic?

        After looking it up on Wikipedia, it looks like they’re a polymer, which I suppose is close enough.

      3. westernsloper

        I wouldn’t do that. According to xe.com that is worth 16 bucks right now. That is like a 12 pack of beer.

            Does chucky cheese take tokens for beer? I haven’t been to one since my kid was 5 and that was a lot of years ago.

          3. mexican sharpshooter

            No. Tokens are only for the games. I’m also somewhat happy the location near me shut down.

        2. Hyperion

          A 12 pack? Where do you live that you can buy beer for that price? I’m smoking a doob with it.

          1. westernsloper

            Depends on if you are a snooty beer drinker, but ya, a 12 pack of the big brewers is about $15 here in liquor stores. The micros will run you about $20 and up. And if you want to go low budget, a 30 pack of keystone light is $16. I have been trying to cut down on my spending lately so I have been getting Mich Ultra at walmart for about 10 fiddy for a 12’r.

          2. Hyperion

            Not a snooty beer drinker. I mostly drink Stella Artois and Heineken, which my friends say is worse than being Hitler.

            Today, I think I paid about $20 for a 12, but out of the city I can get it as low as $15 for 12. When I first moved here, I was buying Yuengling for about $15 a case. There just comes a point where you cannot drink any more of that.

            I pretty much hate craft beers as I don’t like 1000 different crappy bitter IPAs with different crazy names, but that all taste exactly the same.

          3. westernsloper

            Stella or Heineken will run you 18-20 here. Imports are more. I usually only buy Mexican imports which are on average cheaper. I like stella. That is usually my beer of choice in airport bars.

          4. Hyperion

            Stella on tap is fucking awesome. Have you had those 12 pk cans, which taste almost as good as draft? I almost always buy those when my local store has them. Last time I remember having some truly fresh excellent Stella on tap was in Manhattan when I closed out the bar drinking it.

      4. John Titor

        If prices are the same you can probably get an ounce and a half for that twenty.

        1. Hyperion

          What? Where? I couldn’t even buy an oz of ditch weed for $20 in the 80s.

          1. John Titor

            Fucking stupid imperial, I meant grams and forgot how to convert.

          2. Hyperion

            Hah, you Euro rejects and your inferior units of measurements! I bet you still have a queen! Or are jealous because you don’t!

          3. John Titor

            You know who wanted a proper, decimal based metric system before it even existed Hyperion?

            Thomas Jefferson.

          4. westernsloper

            I am not down with weights and grams and ounces make me google shit, but as far as distance, Metric is far superior to imperial. It took me about a week to get use to a metric tape measure for cabinetry 20 or so years ago, and holy moly it makes things easier. Whole numbers ftw. Fractions be dumb and a pain in the ass.

          5. Hyperion

            Imperial is far superior in weight and temperature because of how much more precise it is. Besides, anyone who thinks 30 is hot is a fag.

          6. thrakkorzog

            Anybody who thinks 30 is hot isn’t using Kelvin, the one true temperature measuring system. Negative temps can GTFO.

          7. Hyperion

            It’s about 1/8 the amount that will get you a felony with intent to distribute in Maryland. Anything less, you just get a fine and the cops get to smoke your weed.

    New GFS run has Irma hitting as a Cat 3 hurricane right at the NC/VA border.

    It’s punishment from up high for all the Nazis in Charlottesville, isn’t it.

    2. John Titor

      Someone awoken Uzumaki.

    3. Hyperion

      supposedly, from what I was seeing yesterday, there’s a broad high pressure system off the US east coast, which would force the storm closer to the coast. Deplorables to blame, but what about all the good Democrat voter right thinking peoples? Must we punish them too?

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        It’s rounding a high pressure system right now, will reach the other side and start heading WNW and NW in a few days. Best guess at this point is that it’s going to hit somewhere around NC, give or take a state or two. Monday morning we’ll have a pretty good idea. All about where the high positions. Little bit east of where the models say, it hits nothing. European model follows that scenario and shows it missing the US coast altogether (though takes it at 928 MB and hits the eastern Bahamas, which would be bad).

        1. Just lazy meteorologists. They know they can always get away with pointing it right at Ocracoke.

      Well when a natural disaster strikes CA or NY, that’s just how nature works.

      When a natural disaster hits those deplorables in SC or VA, that is God’s judgement on them for voting for the wrong people.

      1. westernsloper

        Consider this history from the Texas Almanac of the Galveston hurricane of 1900. The town was literally wiped out. Almost all the buildings were destroyed and something close to half the people died. Disaster relief poured in from charitable efforts, from other states, and from the state of Texas. The feds contributed not a dime; and what’s more, it seems that nobody even thought to ask them. In those days, this just wasn’t viewed as part of the federal mission.

        Oh how times have changed.

        Did that dude, (I am assuming gender) get shit thrown at him when he wrote against Sandy relief there? I would imagine that would get you killed in NY.

        1. Rhywun

          He’s a libertarian-ish lawyer who lives in Manhattan. Nobody reads him.

      When I lived in upstate NY I got Canadian coins in change all the time.

      But of course when I tried to use them back, I got denied.

      Damn sneaky Canadians.

        Blaming us for the actions of New Yorkers is a new low.

            The Brits and us burned that city to the ground, it’s not our fault you didn’t smarten up and decided to rebuild it.

            Ok, I admit it, I take that one back.

      Ommegang makes good beer. Which one of theirs are you drinking? Three Philosophers is my favorite.

      1. Not Adahn

        The Abbey Ale. Three Philosophers it really good too. The best so far was their GoT novelty tie in Valar Morghulis.

        1. DEG

          The Abbey Ale is good. I’ve had some of their GoT beers, but can’t remember which ones. Some were good.

          1. Not Adahn

            There is an Italian steakhouse in Albany that has the Abbey Ale on tape. it is miraculous.

            I’ve never eaten at the brewery because the wait for a table is way to gorram long.

  17. Hyperion

    Ok, this is some really crazy fucking shit. I don’t have a link yet. But my wife asked me to watch Globo with her yesterday afternoon and she was all upset about something. Come to find out, there’s a guy in Sao Paulo who likes to masterbate on the bus and ejaculate on women he sits next to. So just forgive me if I don’t have this perfect because my Portuguese is not perfect. But anyway, this guy went to court and the judge decided to let him go because he just needed some treatment. Or according to his lawyer, he just ejaculates really easy, so not his fault, he has a rare condition. So at that point I asked my wife ‘Does this rare condition include pulling his dick out before he has one of these accidental ejaculations?’.

    Ok, so maybe I’m being harsh. Except… this was not the 1st or even the 2nd or even 3rd complaint against this guy, but the 16th! And it gets worse. Today, one day after the judge let this guy go free, he was arrested again, for the 17th time for the same thing! LOL. The world has went insane.

    I told my wife, first time, ok. Let the guy walk with a warning that if it happens again, he’s gets 5 years in prison. If that doesn’t work, the next time we get out the knife. There’s a difference between being libertarian and being lawless.

    So I’m watching the US Open, and I like tennis, but I’m not a rabid fan or anything. But what really annoys the fuck out of me are the cultures of personality built around certain individuals. To the point where the umpire had to tell the audience to shut the fuck up with the cheering for one of them while the obviously disfavored player was trying to serve earlier.

    1. Rhywun

      I call that the “Tiger” syndrome. The sports media drives it and sure enough, some asshole is yelling “Get in the hole!” every time a favored player tees off on a par 5. It’s excruciating. I want to burn those people with fire.

    3. The Zenome Project

      IMO, the most interesting hire of them all: someone from the Freedom Caucus that actually wants NASA to stay a space agency, not another climate change arm of the government. Needless to say, the GOPe probably isn’t liking it very much.

      Florida’s senators are voicing opposition to President Donald Trump’s pick for NASA administrator, Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine, saying a “politician” shouldn’t lead the nation’s space program.

      Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Bill Nelson wouldn’t say whether they’d buck the president and vote against Bridenstine, who was nominated Friday. But they suggested the GOP congressman’s political past would needlessly spark a partisan fight in the Senate that could ultimately damage NASA.

      Bridenstine also trashed Rubio during last year’s GOP presidential primary, although Rubio said he doesn’t hold that against the congressman.

      The bipartisan pushback against Trump’s nominee for NASA administrator underscores the importance of the agency to Florida, home of the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. Nelson, as a member of Congress, in 1986 flew on a Space Shuttle Columbia mission; he also has a home on what’s known as the state’s Space Coast.

      “The head of NASA ought to be a space professional, not a politician,” Nelson said in a brief written statement to POLITICO.

      Rubio said he and Nelson “share the same concerns” and worry Bridenstine’s “political baggage” would weigh him down in a GOP-led Senate that has grown increasingly resistant to Trump. NASA can’t afford that, Rubio said.

      “I just think it could be devastating for the space program. Obviously, being from Florida, I’m very sensitive to anything that slows up NASA and its mission,” Rubio told POLITICO.

      “It’s the one federal mission which has largely been free of politics and it’s at a critical juncture in its history,” Rubio said. “I would hate to see an administrator held up — on [grounds of] partisanship, political arguments, past votes, or statements made in the past — because the agency can’t afford it and it can’t afford the controversy.”

      1. CPRM

        BOO, HISS! No long readings in PM links unless it is drunken or religious ramblings!

      2. Rhywun

        “It’s the one federal mission which has largely been free of politics and it’s at a critical juncture in its history,” Rubio said.

        … without any trace of irony.

        1. The Elite Elite

          Yup, it was really free from politics when Obama had it become the Muslim outreach group.

          1. The Zenome Project

            Source? That’s too good to be true, right?

          2. The Elite Elite

            Surprised you hadn’t heard this one before. I did a search of Obama NASA Muslim outreach and several different stories popped up. Here’s one at random.

          3. The Zenome Project

            I’ve never heard of this before, hilarious. I’d rather NASA be eliminated entirely, but since eliminating gov’t agencies is generally a pipe dream, getting a guy that’ll focus it on being an space-exclusive agency rather than one for useful idiots to the intersectional cause is the next best thing.

          4. The Zenome Project

            an exclusively space agency*

      3. The Elite Elite

        “Bridenstine also trashed Rubio during last year’s GOP presidential primary, although Rubio said he doesn’t hold that against the congressman.”

        Of course he doesn’t. Because like all Republicans, Rubio is a spineless jellyfish that bends over and spreads his cheeks for the Democrats.

        1. The Zenome Project

          It’s hard to believe that Rubio ever got Tea Party support, until you realized exactly who he primaried. That guy, Charlie Crist, was such a RINO Deluxe that he eventually confessed in a rare moment of honesty and joined the correct party shortly after. He’s now a Democratic congresscritter.

            1. In this country, a congressman decided to finish a heated discussion with another congressman with a punch in the jaw. He was suspended 120 days from the legislature for the violent act.

            2. In this country, an MP ripped ripped a proposal out of another MP’s hand and ate it to prevent a vote on the proposal.

            3. In this country, politicians fought each other with smoke bombs and eggs.

            4. In this country, the opposing sides are separated by a red line in the carpet. The red lines in front of the two sets of benches are two sword-lengths apart. An MP is traditionally not allowed to cross the line during debates, supposedly because the an MP might then be able to attack an individual on the opposite side. These procedures were made because the MPs were allowed to carry weapons in the past.

            5. In this country, an MP was seized and held down while another MP farted on his head.

            6. In this country, an MP was enraged by a group who began singing a leftist song. He seized a ceremonial mace and brandished it over his head.

            I’m getting confused. Spotting the not I’d say 3 (because c (3) or the shortest answer are usually correct) but are you asking me to provide answers to which country for the rest? The presentation is kind of confusing.

    2. CPRM

      4. Mexicans don’t work beet fields.

      1. Gray Ghost

        4. Mexicans don’t work beet fields.

        Somebody’s never been to Guadalupe or Spreckels, CA.

        I’ll vote for 3. Sounds more like a blurb against absinthe than mary J.

    3. Hammercorps

      Alright, I’m going to go with 6 as the Not. But it’s a total guess.

    4. Derpetologist

      5 is the Not.

      As a consolation prize, have a gander at this:
      http://www.stirjournal.com/2016/04/01/i-know-why-poor-whites-chant-trump-trump-trump/

      I could eat alphabet soup and shit something more coherent.

      1. Hammercorps

        Someday, you’re going to have to teach me the secret to your ability to thrive off of derp.

        Maybe you’ve achieved Nirvana.

        1. Festus

          It must be like those undersea creatures that live around thermal vents. No sunlight, no oxygen just sulphurous fumes and decaying matter. Derp finds a way.

        2. Derpetologist

          I became a happier man the day I decided to be entertained by stupidity rather than annoyed by it.

          People are unhappy, not because of the world, but because of what they believe about it.

          1. Festus

            Wise words, Derp-Man. You should trademark that shit and start selling it by the pound (or the t-shirt, up to you, really).

      2. CPRM

        I

        met the man who said those words while working as a bartender in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas.

        A lie in the very first sentence, bold.

    5. Gilmore

      None of these are not. they are all true.

      1. Derpetologist

        I made up #5, although it’s possible a real person said something similar.

        “The War on Drugs employs millions – politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military – that probably couldn’t find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners.”
        -L. Neil Smith

    North Korea now has a hydrogen bomb. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us2000aert#executive

    Per Arms Control Wonk Jeffrey Lewis, we’re looking at about 100 kt yield. Keep in mind the error bars on those estimates have error bars. 6.3 magnitude quake, 0 m elevation.

    My own guess was about 30 times their 5.1 test, which was thought to be about 5-7 kt. So 150-210 kt, or what a good old Minuteman 2 used to pack.

    More than enough to kill a city or actually cause a minor E1 EMP burst.

    1. Festus

      So we arch an eyebrow and continue on with our mundanity? Take to the streets and beat up random people? Set our heads ablaze and howl at the moon? Fuck that shit. I’m gonna stay drunk.

      1. Gray Ghost

        I honestly don’t think much will change, Festus. The stakes just got a lot higher for us, is all, and we are now much more invested in ensuring that the Un regime (or whoever is backing him) stays intact.

        If he thinks he’s going to end up Ceaucescu’d, he’s going to push the button. He may do it anyway, on a “test trajectory” over the, e.g., Kwanto Plain that would also be similar to a trajectory you’d use if you wanted to deliver an EMP device to the most effective altitude. How much would that economically cost if 1/3 of Japan’s consumer electronics took a massive shit?

        And how would we respond? Like Paul Atreides, Un could argue that he didn’t use nukes against people, just their computer chips. And he’d still have the ability to shell the living shit out of Seoul. Or lob some more nukes against us.

        Some really tough questions ahead very shortly for Trump, Mattis, and the rest.

    2. Derpetologist

      I will suggest the same proposal I made for dealing with Iran:

      Give North Korea a working ICBM and tell them they have 30 days to use it, or they must give it back. This message will be delivered by a special envoy:

  33. Derpetologist

    Spot the Not: Howard Metzenbaum

    1. I don’t care about crime, I just want to get the guns.

    2. My thinking is if you have a gun, you should have to turn it in or go to prison.

    3. No, we’re not looking at how to control criminals… we’re talking about banning the AK-47 and semi-automatic guns.

    4. What good does it do to ban some guns. All guns should be banned.

    5. Until we can ban all of them [firearms], then we might as well ban none.

    6. Do not let the forces of evil take over to make this a Christian America.

  34. Festus

    I know it’s late and most of you have gone to the Land of Nod like a bunch of autistics whispering “Midnight! Wapner!Midnight! Wapner!” but I think it would be cool if we all shared our personal stories of “Brush With Greatness”. CPRM shared an awesome Clint Eastwood story above and I told one about cooking a cheeseburger for Peter Fonda but didn’t give many details. I dunno, I think it would be interesting.

    1. Gray Ghost

      I used to work at a famous golf resort and hotel, so I’ve met a few. Got a golf lesson from Payne Stewart. Great guy. I was sad to hear that he died. Clint tipped well, the one time I dealt with him. Billy Bob Thornton is supposed to be a psychopath, but he was a perfect gentleman and polite when he was staying at my property during the Friday Night Lights promotional tour.

      The vast majority of celebrities were fine, IME. It was their hangers-on who could be gigantic pains in the ass. Worse were minor royalty, from places like Nigeria or Central Europe.

    2. Derpetologist

      I shook Robert Byrd’s hand. Does that count?

      In my defense, I was 12 at the time.

      I emailed James Howard Kunstler, a lefty trash-humper and doom-sayer. I said that there are large amounts of methane on Saturn and Jupiter, and since it is very unlikely it came from living things, perhaps the natural gas on Earth did not come from living things either. It and the other so-called fossil fuels might have come from another process so maybe we will never run out of them. He mocked me saying that we should build a pipeline to Jupiter.

      Herp derp, me Kunstler. Me smart. Me very very smart.

      1. Festus

        That’s a drag! He should have taken the high road and told you the story of ManBearPig.

        1. Derpetologist

          The wisdom of James Howard Kunstler:

          “The poor agricultural peasants of the southern United States, however, resorted to religion because they led very hard lives, had low literacy rates, and and knew few other ways of understanding their predicament besides the structured superstition of primitive Protestantism, transmitted orally.”

          Wow! He actually calls them superstitious, illiterate peasants.

          “City people of the early 20th century, who had grown up on a high tide of scientific advancement and accepted its victories over superstition and ignorance as self-evident, were suddenly confronted by an aggressive new wave of anti-intellectualism…”

          “Regular assaults on the authority of reason from a large, well-organized faction of inflamed simpletons became a chronic annoyance to the democratic polity founded on the idea that the participants could think rationally.”

          1. Festus

            I’ll take “Bitter-Clingers” for five hundred, Alex… Fuck me, do these people have any clue of the zeitgeist? Any?

    3. Akira

      I met Gallagher before a show one time. That’s it.

    4. J. Frank Parnell

      I shook hands with James Woods while he was playing quarter slots at the Hard Rock in Vegas at about 4am.

      1. Gray Ghost

        That sounds as hard boiled and sad as some of the characters Woods used to play, Parnell. Never met him. Supposed to be very smart, not suffering of fools at all, and a waspish sense of humor.

        Fun from a distance, I guess.

        1. Festus

          I’d down shots with James Woods just to say that I had done so. I’d also ask him about Sean Young and ready myself to bolt. Sean Young… my 80’s are revving like a finely tuned Fiero.

    5. one true athena

      I’ll share a few of mine, since I’m still up. I live in LA so I’ve had various encounters, most of them not very interesting. My husband had to interview Marlon Brando for work, which is his highlight story, but mine aren’t nearly so notable.

      I worked in menswear retail in Beverly Hills back in the day, but more for business wear than fashion, so not a lot of flashy celebs were in our place. But there was this young guy who came in, South African. Very nice guy who was excited to be able to plunk down two grand for a suit. As I recall, he didn’t tell us he was an actor and his name, Arnold Vosloo, meant nothing to us. We figured out later he was probably spending his first check for getting the role of the Mummy.

      My other “Hollywood” story is attending the premiere and afterparty for the movie Blade, and meeting Guillermo Del Toro (could’ve met Wesley Snipes, but he was a d-bag with a huge entourage, so we didn’t try). We didn’t have a chance to talk to him long, but the main thing I remember is Del Toro being so energetic, you knew that for all he’d achieved (and directing a fairly major film in english was a big deal at the time), but he wasn’t done yet.

      1. Festus

        My small city was a semi-hot bed of filming back in the 90’s. Charlize Theron complained that nobody hit her up while she had her rum and coke at the hotel bar. Gee I wonder if her two bodyguards that weighed in at six hundred pounds or the fact that she was in a bar full of middle class salesmen just trying to watch the game and praying for a decent bowel movement had any bearing on the situation? I would have hit her up (she was unknown at the time) but probably would have been not so gently escorted away by her hired goons. She was the chick that wears a crop top and mini-dress expecting all of the adulation and none of the leers.

    6. Gustave Lytton

      Best I can do is I passed Louie Anderson’s carry-on up to him when he seemed to forget it while deplaning. Oh, saw the back bumper of Sam Elliot’s car in the local home improvement store’s parking lot. Wife told me after I got into the truck that Sam Elliot was behind the wheel.

    7. Playa Manhattan

      I saw Vince Vaughn smoking a cigarette behind a dumpster at my favorite fish taco place a few weeks ago.

      1. Festus

        You are winning this thread but we should handicap you because you live in the belly of the Beast.

    8. Dry_Gin_Wet_Farts

      I wouldn’t call it interesting, but I shook Danny Thomas’ hand at a raffle drawing for St Jude. He reeked of alcohol and was slurring. This was the early 80s, at which point, he was already a has-been. I don’t think he had done anything on tv since the 60s. Didn’t seem like he wanted to be there. I wouldn’t have been there either, except that it was across the street from my house, so not too much trouble to find out if I won the Buick. I didn’t, as expected.

      1. Festus

        Marlo’s Dad? That’s fucking pathetic. My parent’s generation lurved them some Danny.

        1. Festus

          Love your handle, by the way. It is Glib Prime!

          1. Dry_Gin_Wet_Farts

            Thanks. Yeah, Marlo was his best production, IMHO. She could have done a lot better than Donahue.

    9. Old Man With Candy

      I had Mink Stole autograph my hand. She was totally amused.

    Time to give up on identity politics: It’s dragging the progressive agenda down

    Identity politics has only served to disempower the left and fuel the rise of white nationalism. Can we move on?

      Can we move on?

      No, no they can’t. Because without stirring up racial hatred, the only thing the Left would have is gun control and economic creationist retardation.

      1. Festus

        Plutocrats from the Dwarf Planet, Pluto. Fits right in there what with the tiny hand meme and all.

        1. Derpetologist

          Few know the truth about Pluto:

      2. one true athena

        Actually his answer is even more bleak — no, because the current generation of Lefties doesn’t even have the tools to discuss such things anymore. In sum, identity politics has swallowed political discourse, and barring catastrophe, there’s nothing that will pull them back from it.

        And thank god, people are finally pointing out the inescapable truth that demonizing whites JUST MIGHT have something to do with white identity politics (which is still overblown, but an obvious consequence of identity politics). Speaking of, I do appreciate that he mentions Milo Y not as a neo-nazi or some crap like that, but as someone calling out identity politics as the liberals should have done from the start. But nobody did, so now the right’s taken it over, and as you say, now the left has basically nothing left to offer – not to the working class, not to whites, not to anyone who thinks feminism should include the women of Saudi Arabia, etc.

        1. Festus

          I was an actual card-carrying Socialist as young man. My Mother worked as an executive assistant for our area’s MLA (think State Senator). My ex-wife went back to Uni just as the great political correctness hullabaloo started. I paid for her ticket to ride that great social work gravy train and yes, yes I was asked to leave after she had finished her studies, wrung me out like a dishrag and started plotting her future. A future without my brand of toxic masculinity (whatever the fuck that means). Five years of my most productive period wasted on a tantrum-throwing harridan. Her son is still in jail.

        2. AlmightyJB

          “no, because the current generation of Lefties doesn’t even have the tools to discuss such things anymore.”

          It’s true. Just read the comments to his article. They can’t even…..

    Mina Shay writes erotica stories with a paranormal bent, mostly involving monsters and aliens.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      Also by Ms Shay (a redhead according to her Amazon page):

      Make Me a Sasquatch (3,200 words)
      This was meant to be a very special picnic of firsts between Heather and Allen. At the first sound of a scary noise, however, her useless boyfriend demonstrates that he’s all talk and nothing like the dominant male he pretends to be.

      Heather finds herself alone in the wilderness when the source of the noise makes itself apparent, a Sasquatch has found her picnic spot. He’s doesn’t just want a sandwich, either. The dominant alpha male has a deep hunger for something else that only Heather satisfy.
