Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day, despite WordPus’s best attempt to screw me over with their sucky software. Let’s get started. It’s not Halloween, but I’ve been listening to this group lately.
Today’s lead model, courtesy of TiFW, is Iain Glen.
Apparently he’s been in Game of Thrones.
And in a movie with Nicole Kidman.
Dear Wordpus, I wanted those carriage returns in my poat, kthxbye.
Leftover from an earlier poat.
Last, but not least.
Calgon, take me away.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week, and y’all have a good day.

My thoughts on Matt Gaetz after doing zero research:
He’s a fucking idiot. Not for being a playboy but because he ran to the people that set him up for help. You have to be a mouth breather to think the FBI or DOJ is going to help. It appears that their reason for being is to ham handedly set up conservatives and collude with the media.
Don Corleane! There’s a mobster working for your very reputable meat packing business! Please help me get rid of this man who is trying to extort money from me!
I like Matt Gaetz.
He is a true Trumper.
This is why they targeted him.
I will not comply.
Gaetz or the FBI hahahahah that’s the easiest choice ever.
Yeah, I’m with you on this.
Sounds like he’s a bit of a playboy or used to be. From there it’s easy to say he’s paying for sex by flying girls places. And *gasp* one girl is underage (she isn’t).
Even more stupid is thinking the FBI would help.
It sounds like Russiagate with sex as the lead rather than espionage.
Cant wait for Republicans to turn on him.
And even though its fake this will give Biden a week to rest. Maybe more if he takes a ‘break’ for Easter.
wakey wakey
Oh, there will be a barrage of showy “Joe celebrates Holy Thursday!”, etc media pieces this weekend. Look for a hideous XO on Good Friday for extra insult, likely something on abortion or trannies.
Glad to see this actually published on time. This was my first time dealing with the block editing, and I was unhappy that classic was no longer an option.
Flooding here again, third time this month. I may have to ask a co-worker to shut down my test if I can’t get out of here in time.
Expect all strong conservatives to be targeted.
FFS this is DC, wading through the filth there will give you deathly dysentery.

And expect idiots to keep walking into obvious traps.
I’m definitely lowering my profile on the mothership even further after yesterday. Still don’t know if that was just stupid or an outright trap.

There’s some irony to this being called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
(at least that’s my diagnosis, it’s not specifically named in the article)
I watched the Gaetz thing from Tucker last night.
He’s pretty fucked. It’ll all be fake but they’re obviously targeting him for removal and more than likely Romney et al will side with the dems for moral, magic underwear reasons.
In other news, I signed up to get the vaccine.
Just kidding.
My last few days after arriving with my unit:
Ft. Hood: Welcome to deployment readiness. You are now under ROM (quarantine) for the next 14 days.
St. Jude: We have all had our vaccines and been training as a group for the last 5 or so weeks. No one has the Rona.
Ft. Hood: That’s nice. Step over here and take a rapid test.
St. Jude: Fine.
Ft. Hood: Good news! Your entire unit tested negative for COVID-19. You will now start your 14 day ROM.
St. Jude: FFS.
Several days later….
Ft. Hood: Good news! You now get to take the full up the nose and suck out the brain test. We want to make rily rily sure you dont have covid.
St. Jude: This seems excessive.
Later…
Ft. Hood: Good news! Everyone tested negative for the COVID-19.
St. Jude: You don’t say..
Ft. Hood: You may now continue your 14 day ROM. Next rapid test is in 2 days.
St. Jude: FFS
Ft. Hood: Pardon?
St. Jude: Look, we have been vaccinated. We have been isolated in training for over a month, and have had 2 confirmation tests since we got here. And SECDEF issued orders nearly 2 weeks ago mandating 5-7 day ROMs instead of 14. So WTF are we doing here? Seriously… I want to know.
Ft. Hood: Would you like your 14 day ROM to start over?
We’ve turned into the dumb society. The dumb people have gotten control of all levers of power.
The Peter Principle: people are promoted to their level of incompetence. The result is that eventually every level is full of incompetents.
I dunno, feels like some folks are slipping up a level or two past these days.

Shorter version:
Pretend Daily briefing.
Pretend Covid briefing.
The rest of the day is devoted to transporting Biden to and from Pittsburgh for a prepared speech.
Honestly, this happens a lot in the private sector. People get one level above where they should be, but sort of hold it together.
In government, I’m guessing that people get many, many levels above where they should be because not many people are really working.
The Sec of State from GA is a good example. He asked for funding to hire a consultant and turned over his job to her.
I think that’s the pattern. Get a job, ask for funding (it’s a big deal to know how to do this correctly) and outsource your jerb.
I think that’s the pattern. Get a job, ask for funding (it’s a big deal to know how to do this correctly) and outsource your jerb.
I don’t know if it started in the gov and migrated to the private sector, or vice versa.
The more crap you expect an organization to do, the more people you need to hire, and the more chances for someone incompetent to slip in.
Have I told you guys how outrageous Moose can be?
So, the last few years, he’s not really liked going up the stairs. Down the stairs? No problem. But up? He’ll sit at the bottom of the stairs and whine and sometimes bark. I have to GO downstairs, walk him to the side door, so he can just come around to the main floor outside. Because “poor Moose” can’t do the stairs.
Unless ….
Erin is going to starbucks. She’s made it her little (almost daily) outing. She takes Moose to starbucks, gets her coffee and he gets (usually two) a pupcup. He’s apparently a rockstar at starbucks.
So, somehow — Moose knows when she’s going. I don’t know if it’s a timing or her clothing. But once she grabs her purse and keys, he knows.
And NOW he can magically go up the stairs. No a whine or complaint. He’s just magically by the front door.
He is ridiculous.
This morning the “I can’t go upstairs” performance was so dramatic, he got Stella barking at me to “go help” him.
@@
There was a time when incompetents were weeded out by coworkers because the productive people couldn’t stand having dead weight around. So they hounded them out of the job.
Today we have HR, so the incompetents stay, and the productive people leave because they can’t stand being around idiots.
Moose is training you up perfectly. He didn’t even have to use bacon treats.
Most groups have about 10% deadbeats 80% middle players and 10% really good employees.
It just always seems to work out that way. I think I’ll call it the MJareto Principle.
hahaha moose is great
We had our only two conservative friends over for dinner last night. HotBride had some bright beautiful tulips on the table. This morning I wake up and they’re in the bedroom. I said, “Why did you bring the tulips up here?” And she says, “Because I read somewhere that tulips are poison to cats.”
Seriously, when is the last time you heard of a cat dying from eating tulips?
I identify as a zookeeper.
Common sense must be drilled out of people. They must ready to follow orders without question, especially the ones that make no sense.
The saying in the Army was that people are either stupid or smart, and lazy or industrious. Stupid and lazy people can be put on simple tasks that don’t require much thought but need to be done. Smart and industrious people can be put on big projects that need a lot of attention, but they need to be managed so that they get overeager and end up creating more problems. Smart and lazy people are best for command, because they’ll do what is required, and are smart enough to see problems ahead of time and fix them. The real danger are the stupid and industrious: they’re the ones who create the most problems in an organization. They fuck up everything that they touch, and they are ambitious and overactive so they will get involved in everything.
These same drama triangles pop up at my work. Say some mentally ill person is trying to convince us they are dying from a tragic disease and “can’t walk.” Even though staff has observed them getting up to go to the bathroom. This individual will get another patient to help them get things and to go yell at staff for not helping them with a wheelchair, etc.
Carin, your dogs are sick.
I think that’s the pattern. Get a job, ask for funding (it’s a big deal to know how to do this correctly) and outsource your jerb.
This is 2 chapters in The Four Hour Work Week.
The problem is the stupid, who naturally don’t understand they’re stupid, are promoting and hiring other stupid folks and forcing out anyone who isn’t (or at least won’t play along). Because this is damn near everywhere now, the useful folk have fewer and fewer places to go. The ones up to running their own businesses can start their own, but eventually a stupid gets in and the process starts over.
This nation needs an enema.
This is 2 chapters in The Four Hour Work Week.
There’s an argument that those books exemplify everything wrong with modern society: the hyper-efficiency and “gaming the system” in order to achieve short-term profits but at the cost of increased fragility overall.
How do you suggest I proceed Lauraw? Moose also has body dysmorphia. He thinks he’s bigger than he is. There are doorways he won’t go through because – obviously – there is NO WAY he can fit.
The sliding glass door has to be open ALL THE WAY, because otherwise he’ll just get stuck. Apparently.
SHould I have him committed?
Cut off his balls, give him implants and pump him full of hormones and call him “Gretchen.”
There’s an argument that those books exemplify everything wrong with modern society: the hyper-efficiency and “gaming the system” in order to achieve short-term profits but at the cost of increased fragility overall.
Yup. Workplaces are hell, nothing works right, good people suffer, but by God, I got mine! They don’t care. Consequences are decoupled from action and shifted onto others. This is the road to disaster.
Honestly I don’t even like “disaster” as a word for what’s coming. Take the word apart and it’s literally “bad star” as if bad things just happened because something that’s nobody’s fault and not just because the weight of a thousand stupidities finally brings the whole thing crashing down. The original meaning of “tragedy” applies but that word’s been misused and lost its true implications.
Here I am quibbling over terminology. Pfft.
I know what I’m talking about, I just hate the words I’m using.
MJ, I don’t for Romney either, but lay off the magic underwear thing. The only LDS who still support him are never trumpers.
This is why English is so good: we can simply steal a word from another language.
What’s the German word for the feeling you get a moment before you realize someone is going to shit in your mouth and you’re powerless to stop it?
The original meaning of tragedy is “goat song,” from the goat that was sacrificed before the performance.
I already cut his balls off. And if anyone in this house is getting new tits, it’s me.
I’m watching ESPN right now – not on purpose, but it’s on in the hotel lobby. Some dude is very upset about something, but I’m guessing it’s not how China is violating human rights.
Alex, I don’t disagree with you entirely. I read the original book as pirated PDF, just to see what the big deal was. It’s not 100% “digital assistants” crap, but that’s certainly part of it. As a counterpoint, a lot of office-type jobs really don’t warrant 40 real hours of work in a week, and anything over, say, 20 hours is either wasted or actively discouraged by the rest of the crabs in that tank. In a lot of those cases, Big Faceless Holding Corp, Inc. doesn’t give a shit about the employee in question, and working harder than absolutely necessary is a waste of effort and the loyalty won’t be reciprocated in the slightest.
The other line of thinking he has for achieving the “4 hours” is something like the schedule you see on Swamp People where some of those guys really only work in gator season (30 days), fill their tags, and then the rest of the year is vacation/gator processing/odd jobs/prep for next year. During gator season, it’s 12-20 hour days for a solid month, then a semi-retirement until next season. Project work with a finite, testable deliverable is approximately the same, so his advice for that is to get contracted for product if you can, rather than time on the clock.
Leon, that makes sense, and generally follows how humans have operated throughout history. Agriculture involved a lot of work at specific times, with lots of down time inbetween. Or you worked in manufacturing and were paid by the piece.
The second paragraph in my last comment is how things used to get done, before Taylorism and factories and Scientific Management and that crap. The first paragraph really represents a valid, reasoned response to the problem of Bigness.
And that’s really the fundamental problem. Once an organization is so big that the individuals no longer matter as individuals just as work units, there’s a sort of drag that sets in, where A students work at B- level because there’s no reason to earn As, and C students work at D level because they won’t get fired, and D students trade favors to get into management*.
*Cumala is a definite D student. She knows D better than most.
It strikes me that this ties into a conservative argument for decentralization and the break up of large corporations: the larger an entity, the more in acquires overhead and fat which makes it fragile to shocks in the system.
SHould I have him committed?
Ummmm….let me think…..
And if anyone in this house is getting new tits, it’s me.
Upgrading to B minuses?
And Romney is as much a Mormon as Biden is Catholic or Schumer is a Jew. These are schemers using connections, nothing more.
You guys are talking about that guy that mostly just walks around the office with a clipboard and a coffee, right?
Init funny how “conservatives” now contemplate breaking up large corporations, and “liberals” love them?
Why, I remember just a few years ago when “Citizens United” was da debbil.
Funny thing about shocks to the system, the harder we work to insulate against or prevent them, the worse things are when we fail. Eventually we spend so much energy and treasure on risk minimization we barely have anything left for anything useful. It’s literally going broke preserving something that should have been burned down long ago.
Things like this make me wonder if the Buddhists have more of a point about attachment than I usually give credit for.
Carin, I have a solution, but it involves me travelling to give your dog major noogies and may not be 100% effective. It may actually be 100% ineffective. But I will be happy.
We’d all be better off if it was a world of Wallys.
I love my insane dog. He’s sleeping on my feet right now.

Or the Jewish idea of Jubilee. Every seven years everything gets reset, which means you can’t pile up debts to the point that it becomes incredibly destructive.
Moose is a very satisfying dog to love on. You can really hug him HARD. We have a joke here – after reading some article about dogs not like being hugged … we’ll hug him and ask the other if he seems uncomfortable with it.
Moose definitely loves it the harder you love on him
/don’t even go there you sickos.
You know who else loves it when you love harder on her?
Your mom. That’s who.
Facebook funny I can’t share here:
It’s of a bar crowd watching biden walking up AF1 steps (on a TV) and when he makes it to the top, a crowd goes wild . It’s obviously a soccer game they’re watching.
It’s pretty funny.
I don’t think Citizens United and breaking up big corps are in conflict. The former is merely a recognition that freedom of speech is a collective right as well as an individual one. However corporations, while legally distinct entities, are still legal creations based on a shared agreement by society to recognize them as such. Society, through elected officials, is certainly within its right to adjust the conditions under which it recognizes corporate entities, especially when such entities behave in ways that create external risks to society.
I’ve been subjected to multiple attempts to overcome the bigness problem by hiding it behind things like Agile teams or product teams, but big orgs have lots of those, and you can get traded or move with relative ease if you need to, before anyone notices or makes a stink about your lack of output or bad output.
I’ve known multiple people who gamed the system and played on pity to stay employed long past their expiration date. They weren’t bad people, just bad fits to the roles they were now stuck in. They could have been productive elsewhere or with different tasking, but you can get into pathological scenarios with big contracts (there’s that word again) where you can’t hire anyone, and your dead-enders still have institutional knowledge and funded positions, so they linger.
And sometimes they find their way over to whoever won the new contract, purely on the basis of “knowing the legacy system”, and the cycle begins again.
You guys are talking about that guy that mostly just walks around the office with a clipboard and a coffee, right?
If the guy is smart, he forgets the clipboard and brings baked goods on Thursday mornings. One guy I knew used his wife’s coffee cake and pie to delay retirement by at least two years.
Subsidiarity and Distributism are as conservative as you get, Hotspur. An entity that’s “too big to fail!” is dangerous and needs to be broken up for its own sake as much as the safety of others.
Silver maples are the analogy here. They naturally split into multple trunks, but they don’t merge well at the juncture, so they eventually do get Too Big, split, and then they Fail. And your power lines, garage, car, whatever, go with them. The tree dies. Crown it before that happens, trim away some broader branches, and the tree lives on without crushing your boat or hitting your propane tank.
especially when such entities behave in ways that create external risks to society.
Précisément. And init it funny how those risks are defined to suit the oppressor’s agenda?
And that’s where the biggest problem of bigness lies. The government that would be needed to make these calls is already WAY too big and itself needs to be broken up and/or radically downsized.
And init it funny how those risks are defined to suit the oppressor’s agenda?
Someone is going to define those risks. Either you are proactive, or you wait until some big shock comes along, and the left pushes even more radical ideas and bigger government to a population who is unemployed, angry, and scared.
And that’s where the biggest problem of bigness lies. The government that would be needed to make these calls is already WAY too big and itself needs to be broken up and/or radically downsized.
The same arguments for breaking up corporations also apply to the government, which itself is merely a form of corporation. The separation of powers across branches and levels of government is supposed to create competition as well as allow different entities to focus on specific tasks.
Breaking up corporations isn’t the only solution to these problems, just the most obvious, and the most radical. Changes to the tax code could encourage spinning off successful divisions, or in reducing leverage in favor of paying out dividends to shareholders.
Part of the problem is that the lines between private corporations and governmental entities is getting pretty damn blurry. You’re effectively expecting the self-appointed ruling class to police itself in a manner that benefits the rest of us, which human history proves to be right about the worst joke ever perpetrated on the average h. sapiens.
That was the genius of the 2nd Amendment, it eliminated the government’s monopoly on force and made it — effectively — just another corporate entity with specific responsibilities and monopoly on very, very few things. That lack of a standing army thing got blown away a little too early, and I think that was the start of the problem.
MJ, I don’t for Romney either, but lay off the magic underwear thing. The only LDS who still support him are never trumpers.
———————-
Is this a request or an order? I’m ok with either but I want to make sure I understand.
I’m not entirely sure how the standing army thing could have effectively been gotten around, though. A nation without is at a severe disadvantage to a nation with, especially as weapons have gotten more complex in operation to be effective. And this world ain’t going back to muskets any time soon. (Unless Carrington Event 2: EMP Boogaloo hits, in which case we have other problems.)
The FedGov need a standing Navy/Coast Guard, including Marines, to protect ports and trade routes. It could be argued it needs an Air Force and now a Space Force to protect trade interests. An Army is for taking and holding land. If the FedGov had the need to do so, it should be asking (key point) the state armies to join the fight. No states want to send troops? Must not be that important to them.
Big companies like that are just like government, consolidating more control. Look at Walmart. they are their own ecosystem now, having declared terms to suppliers, and taking control of local economies. They started by giving better prices to customers. Then they consolidated a lot of local businesses, running them out of business because of their control.
alex said what I just did, only better.
Just think, if Carrington had happened at night we might not know about it at all.
Who is Carrington? haha

We’ve turned into the dumb society. The dumb people have gotten control of all levers of power.
————
Welp, that is 100% correct and there’s not much else to say, but you know damn well I will.
Dumb + power hungry and greedy. The trifecta of leftism. A lefty has NEVER taken responsibility for the absolute shit his/her “good intentions” (that make his uncle billions) create.
I’m serious. We mostly know because it happened to be daytime here. There was an aurora and telegraph wires all over the American West caught fire. Had it been daytime in Hawaii or still-Iron-Age China, nobody would have any idea.
changing passwords is fun! changing our teams password made me log in again from phone. So when I log in from the phone, it had to validate that it was me logging in from the phone, by using yet another app on the phone.
Tech is stupid sometimes.
I’ve got a phone upgrade waiting in the box. I’ve had it since Saturday, but I can’t “go to work” without 2 apps on my phone, so I’m really nervous about the brain transplant I’ve got to do.
MJ, it was a request, and one that you can ignore freely without me getting too bothered.
Are you Mormon, Sobek?
nicely done, you two
I had to look up what Leon referenced.
https://www.history.com/news/a-perfect-solar-superstorm-the-1859-carrington-event
that’s what i was wondering too, laura. Thought there might be something more recent.
Yes, Mare. I don’t care if people joke about my church, I just want the joke to be funny. And since the joke is almost always “you guys have funny underwear” or “you guys have a lot of wives,” I’m a lot more bothered by the lack of creativity.
Also, I hate the thought of people assuming that Latter-day Saints are represented by Mitt Romney or Harry Reid.
I don’t know what characteristics the best workers have but the worst workers combine, stupid, lazy, and cowardly in roughly equal doses. I’m strapped down with a couple of those.
It’s amazing what you can talk about, when you tell someone not to worry about wearing their face diaper in front of you. Got the car looked at today, went in wearing my mask, as is requested on the door. The owner was working, and started to don his diaper as i went to check in. Told him not to worry about it, I’m just wearing it because the sign asked me to. “Thank you” was the reply. We then chuckled about vaccine news on Fox (which was on TV, and the first time I’ve seen it outside of Tucker since Nov 2020). 100% effective on teens! How the F do you know that?
He wasn’t happy, as he’s been open the entire time, and has many restaurant owning friends that are truly hurting. Got the feeling he’s a dem voter (comment was “I’m no fan of Donald Trump, but…”) but seems like a sensible guy.
Ehh that moniker was a one off cheap shot at somebody from a long time ago. No offense TiFW…..ya ol bitch.
I take a slew of “vitamins” every day. I don’t know if they really do anything other than the vitamin c and d. But I’m a big believer in the placebo effect so I’m all in.
I’m as healthy as a horse. (heh). My achilles heel is my left hip. Can go wonky. But I don’t take prescriptions. I’m at a healthy weight (SYWM) and I have on the low end blood pressure.
Never had the flu, never had a flu shot (that I can remember). No skin issues or any manifestations of auto-immune diseases.
You know what I DON’T want to do? Mess with my immune system. So I’ll pass on the “vaccine” unless I cannot go to Hawaii without it. I’m hoping I can end around it somehow.
Gotcha, Sobek. I agree being associated with Romney and Reid is the worst part.
It’s like my being Catholic and having Biden represented as being devout. Sheeeeeesh.
If Biden can name 4 Mysteries out of 20, I’ll donate $200 to Planned Parenthood.
Jay, I just heard that about Teens and the 100% vaccine success.
I’m with you, HTF could they possible know that since teens rarely get COVID? So 100% of zero? And exactly who are these teens getting vaccinated? I thought we started with the elderly, then medical personell, then fatties (no offense to our H2 fatties), then general population.
^^^^I made all that up, I have no idea who is supposed to get “vaccinated” or when.
hmm, more creative LDS jokes.
This is a challenge
MJ, it was a request, and one that you can ignore freely without me getting too bothered.
—————————-
Ok cool.
*deletes post for tomorrow
If I demanded that people come up with better jokes all day long …
If Sobek can make demands, I can too. Can you all – every one of you – promise to never again ever say, when asked if you need anything else before the check is brought to your table:
“No, we don’t need that either”.
Or, the equally lame:
“How about a million dollars”.
I just can’t fake even a smile at either of those anymore.
The masks do serve one noble purpose.
*rattles coffee cup
BTW, today is the day of “visibility” or something.
Peak stupid. I mean, you think we’re close, but then they keep taking it up a notch.

#1 overall on Amazon. let me know if you can see this.
I have company this weekend, so I can’t see it just yet. But it’s on the list car in
I want to find a passive aggressive way to attack people who’s entire argument for rather … important things (social or political) is reduced to sharing a stupid meme on facebook.
OMG, YOU FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS YOU SHARED A MEME!.
Power just went out.
They found you.
So I’ll pass on the “vaccine” unless I cannot go to Hawaii without it. I’m hoping I can end around it somehow.
Give me a few weeks. HotBride and I will head down the Mississippi, pick you and hubby up in Mobile, head to the Panama Canal, then straight to Hawaii. Or maybe you’d prefer to go to a nicer place like Bora Bora – it’s shorter.
I just see an ad for mewe, J’Ames. Nothing with Deace in there.
OH pencil me in for bora bora. I’m sure I’d be much more fun than Mare!
Boat sleeps seven, so me, HotBride, Mare, Mr. Mare, you, Pay, and someone else.
Hmmm…..
thanks laura
Folks, we are now the NUMBER ONE BOOK IN THE COUNTRY according to Amazon, which is where over 80% of the books are sold in America. I’m speechless, grateful, and humbled. But I’m also encouraged to confirm there are so many who haven’t taken the knee to Baal yet and hunger for truth. Let the lion out of its cage! Return America back to the American people!
Amazon link to book
another link:
Folks, I just don’t have the platform to generate the No. 1 overall best-seller on Amazon. You’re doing this, with the help of phenomenal endorsements.
Thank you! Let the lion out of its cage. It’s time to let the truth have its day in America again.
You’re gonna need that extra bed for when Hotbride kicks you in the mangerines for trapping her on a boat with two other couples.
but car in, what about your garden, and tractor?
Who will care for the beer trees?
can you crossfit on a sailboat?
My husband could help sail. I have no skills so I guess I would be in charge of yelling, “look!! A (fill in the blank)!!”
isn’t that what you do here, too?
Exactly, Jay! My lack of skills is good at a lot of places.
Pansexual is the new term for people who will foch anything but are probably going to end up in a hetero relationship after they have their fun.
So – just to be clear – the “pan” means you are attracted to transexuals as well.
I think they’re just trying to be extra.
give em a break, if they actually use that term, it’s a signal that they have to keep all their options open.
Pansexual means you’re fat, have teal colored hair, nose piercings, tongue piercings, nipple and navel piercings, 43% tattoos, dress mostly in black mini skirts, fishnet stockings, tank tops, and wear bright blue lipstick.
Last time someone found your vagina you were passed out drunk and don’t remember them puking on you.
weird, because the image I had when “pansexual” was used matches hotspur’s description, almost exactly.
“Pansexual” is an ancient indian word for “White woman who wants to seem edgy and different, but will maybe agree to a threesome with another woman on her tenth anniversary.”
and when you think “oh, they are just being silly” this is a real story?

“Pansexual” = “this is the bullshit I have to say to stay trendy”
Of course if you take the “pan” part to be the Spanish for bread, Ariana Grande licking donuts takes on a whole new light.
I HAVE THE POWER!!!!
Scripture.
In Easter Eggs.
Because we’re supposed to look to the East for the Rising Son, Jesus.
Who’s resurrection we celebrate on Easter.
Sit down and shut up, “activist”.
but but but Trump was a draft dodger!

(sorry, I’d never heard this one)
They want me to turn off my ad blocker to see the article.
Fuck USA Today.
(then puke on them)
Fact check: Biden, like Trump, received multiple draft deferments from Vietnam
In Biden’s defense, he was too stupid for the Army.
And that’s saying a lot.
40% of US households cannot afford a $175k house. 56% cannot afford a $250k house.
My wife and I received our porkulus check today. I better hurry up and spend it before rampant inflation makes it worthless.
Whose mom is cash strapped this week?
What, exactly, makes a $175k house actually worth $175k? I’m legit curious, I got no idea how this crap works, it feels like a lot of handwaving.
you can get traded or move with relative ease if you need to, before anyone notices or makes a stink about your lack of output or bad output.
I am always suspicious of people who do internal transfers every 4 years or so. They’re either military brats who feel that need to move or they’re deadwood and have worn out their welcome.
My husband could help sail. I have no skills so I guess I would be in charge of yelling, “look!! A (fill in the blank)!!”
I’m good for ballast.
I spent four years at one job, and by the end I was stir crazy. It was fine early on, when there was a lot to do and freedom to do it. By the end I wasn’t teaching very many classes, and the curriculum was largely set so there wasn’t a need for a huge amount of revisions.
What, exactly, makes a $175k house actually worth $175k?
The market in your area.

Good one, Roamy! I wish I had said that. This is what a weak brain gets me. Poor comebacks!
I’ve been in my current job for 5 years, on the same contract or its follow-on for 10. Every part of it that I liked doing is gone, and I want to be, too. I’m now doing the job I said for years we should hire someone to do, always with the emphatic “because I don’t want to do it and would be miserable”. It’s only about money at this point, and that sucks.
The job in CA was good, but it was in CA. The job in Ohio wasn’t horrible, but there was no future there. This job is at least telework, and pays much better, but right now there is literally nothing to do.
First office I worked in I was there 11 years. Second one 6.5. Then I started this company 37 years ago.
I don’t move around much.
First year in practice was 11 months. Second practice 1999 – 2007 and then we moved across the street 2007 to the present day. I’ll keep going until I either drop dead or get fired for refusing the vaccination.
Although, Hotspur’s first 11 years roughly correspond to my 4 years in med school and 7 years of residency/fellowship.

She’s singing in English but I’ll be damned if I can understand any of it other than a few words. Lyrics are just above the comments.
She could sing the phone book and I’d listen to her.
Lot of blue eyes on the female singers. So blue that they must be contacts.
I started with Target in 1978. Would work there during Breaks at UNM. Target came to NM in 1988. I went back to TX with the deal that I would be able to transfer to NM. $4.90 an hour in TX as a Lead. Pretty excited to earn $5.75 as a Lead in NM. Started dating Dan. He was making $6.50 as a new hire. Retail. I was training Leads making more money than I was. FF I was training Managers for Target for years. Target is all about college degrees. I love working membership retail.

🐻❤️ Mutts. Great strip
So, we make fun of my crazy family history. We started talking about cereal. Not Kaboom. My mom would make me go to the grocery store with my abuser. My grandfather. He would buy me Lucky Charms. I basically whored out for marshmallow cereal. 🤪🤣👋🏻
MJ, are you the one who recommended Slow Dive to me?
Youtube just recommended a band called Curve, and it’s blowing me away. The album Doppelganger is awesome.
Sobek, my brother’s law firm was originally co-owned with a Mormon. My bro bought his Mormon partner out. Mormon partner told my bro to never host a party with just one Mormon. Always have at least two Mormons at every event. See also inviting two Baptists to a dance. My brother still vacays at St George Utah
This is a touching moment, give it a chance to get going

Mare, HI is looking at a mobile vaccination app. Digital confirmation.

Had that disc at some point
My residency class was an anomaly for having 3 Mormon guys in it along with me and another heathen. One of the guys lived in my apartment for a few months while he was building his house. I helped him raise a couple of walls which was exciting without a crane. Another one was in the lab with me for a year. He’d always laugh at me getting amped up on my coffee in the morning. We’d bug out most weeks in the winter for a ski run to NH or VT.
Headline says it all
“White House Staff Finds Poop on Floor, Blames Champ and Major”
From PJ Media
Jimbro, that was cool. What a great voice she has.
Dog agility on ESPN2.
There needs to be an agility channel.
Newfie agility is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
yeah, used to follow Treacher. He’s gone the way of Iowahawk and national review. Totally nevertrump
I adore our Newfie baes. We need more Dachshunds
MJ, are you the one who recommended Slow Dive to me?
—-/////$$$&&@@“@$$((;:/
Probably. They’re one of my recent favs.
We need more Dachshunds
Ugh, Penelope’s friend and her friend’s husband got the movie vaccine. A week after the second dose, the husband got really sick. Was in the hospital for a month and he had multiple organ failure. He died this afternoon. He was in his late 60s with no major health issues.
Covid, not movie. Autocorrect sucks.
Thanks for the Iain Glen, Roamie! Those pics are from 20-30 years ago – he is still good looking….
terrible news, pepe
Didn’t all of the vaccinated research animals die after exposure to COVID? Something about a cytokine storm response on overdrive from the “vaccine” working too well.
well that’s horrifying, TiFW
Oso, he was after your lucky charms?
There needs to be a dachshund/newfie mixes. Dewshies.
CoLex wins with dewshies.
Pepe, that’s terrible.
Your tax dollars at work…

This cracked me up so bad:
Danielle’s editing refined prose.
“transjengas”
We defrosted a hunk of smoked ham (store bought) last weekend and had it for a few meals as ham slices and a ham casserole.
With Easter Sunday fast approaching I’m facing a dilemma. I have shot my ham wad … the thought of baking another ham is not appealing to me. Paula won’t eat lamb and turkey doesn’t seem right for Easter dinner.
Easter Salmon, Easter Lasagna, Easter Tacos … woe is me!
Kiddo ain’t bad. Wonder how she’ll sound in a few years with practice and, erm, voice changes that totally don’t happen naturally because biology is a social construct and all that.
I know a little about the Matt Gaetz thing and I’m sure we’ll learn more as time goes by. Set up by the Deep State? Probably, although there are probably some elements that are true, he’s a politician after all.
What I find remarkable (but really shouldn’t) is how we’re getting all these calls for him to leave when Cuomo is just waiting things out until people move on to the next thing and he’ll remain in place. We’re getting more details of his supposed interaction with a 17 yo then anything related to Epstein. Countdown to the Romney’s of the Senate calling for him to step down.
I 100% believe the story is bullshit. So what that he flew some lady to visit him. If that’s a “lose your job” offense – there are a lot of guys who are going to be unemployed.
*wonders if I ever flew in pussy*
You’re not supposed to fly in it.
Matt’s tall, athletic, rich, and has good hair. I’m supposed to pretend women weren’t throwing their panties at him?
Further, I’m supposed to pretend that I’d have said no in the same situation?
Come on, man!
NOOD
