FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY


^^A1^^

I think I've seen that movie about her sexually active step-brother.

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

Anything a line cook has to prepare 2 minutes before closing.

^^A4^^

I once heard a man in the beer aisle at the grocery store ask his friend on his phone what kind of beer he wanted and then said:

"Busch?! Nobody drinks Busch unless you're on parole."

True.

^^A5^^

That's extraordinary.

^^A7^^

"Oh, look, there's Elvis."

^^A8^^

That reminded me of this...

ANTI-TRUMPIAN STUFF

If you worship the man I advise you to scroll past this section cause I'm tired of reading your whining.



And...

And...

And...
And...

I will bet even money that he turned around and said, "Smile, goddamnit."

And...

^^A12^^

The whole War on Drag was invented by people who don't give a shit about trans people one way or the other, but they do care about motivating you to hate yet another group of people for their own political gain.

^^A13^^

QUESTIONABLE AMUSEMENTS


^^A14^^

I predict that is a rental.

^^A15^^

^^A16^^

A commenter asked:

"I've heard the argument that gang bangers 19 and under are lumped into kids around 10 as the total gun deaths. That the NRA bureaucrats in Washington intentionally push gun grabs threats to boost gun sales. What are your thoughts on that?"

---

Playing around with the numbers to lessen the impact of the disaster that is school shootings is interesting. They seem to be saying that if inner-city black youths slaughter each other then it doesn't really count. Next, I expect them to say that sure, hundreds of children were murdered in their classrooms but some of those children would have grown up to be criminals anyway. Or some of them would have died from cancer anyway.

Even if we allow them to reduce the number of "real" victims by HALF and it IS STILL OUTRAGEOUS!

Another commenter fell back on the old argument that there is no need to pass another gun law because criminals don't obey laws. Think about that. EVERY law falls under that exact same criteria, so why outlaw murder or robbery?

But for me, the bottom line is that we are the only advanced country where this happens regularly yet we say there's nothing we can do. That's irrational.

Now back to the image above. That looks like a lot of fun - it really does. But do I think Americans have a right to walk around with one of those? I do not. Weapons of war have no place on the streets of my hometown.

ITEMS THAT ARE PROBABLY TRUE


For twenty years before her death, my mother coughed every two or three minutes. None of her doctors could find the cause and no medication helped. She finally died of lung cancer.

But then there's this:

"Allow me to make my view clear; if they had not been removed by Elgin - under less than entirely legal conditions even by the standards of the day - then there would be far fewer of these antiquities in existence today. The British Museum has preserved and studied them i̶m̶p̶e̶c̶c̶a̶b̶l̶y̶  as well as could be hoped, to a degree that was probably not possible in Greece at the time.

However...Greece is now in a position to deal with them more than adequately and has been for a long, long time. These represent Greek history, not British. Their return should not be anything like the issue it has been made into, from both sides. Here's how it should go if adults were involved:

Greece: thank you for looking after our historical artifacts while we were not able to.

Great Britain: it was our honor. So sorry for taking so long in returning them. Is it OK if we display replicas?

And then move on to actual problems in the world."

^^B14^^

Yes, that is a problem that should be addressed. We saw what corporations did with insulin prices. But the buying up of water rights is going to bite us in the ass soon.

One of these things will happen: someone will find your dead body, someone will watch you die, and your dead body will never be found.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST


I'm guilty of that.

^^C1^^

I once designed a mural for a huge building downtown. It was a 20-story zipper positioned so you could see a gigantic American flag underneath. I even painted a mockup before my presentation but a couple of days before I made my pitch a picture of a mural in Australia appeared in the newspaper of a mural depicting a huge zipper on a building. I threw my proposal away because no one would believe I didn't copy the Australian mural. 

^^C2^^

Speaking of...

^^C3^^

And to imagine that they used to be designed without computers.

^^C4^^

*Why do people crop their images like that?

^^C5^^

I seem to remember that they also do that on flat surfaces.

^^C6^^

^^C7^^

Same-height gatherings

I wonder what it would be like to always have to look up to everyone you meet.

^^C8^^

I don't get it. Anybody?

^^C9^^

Intense Incense

I read that some teenagers put pot in one of those.

HUMAN TRAVAILS


That reminds me of walking home drunk in Germany and falling into (what we called) a "Honey Pot". Back then there were 4'x6' structures two concrete blocks high where everyone living nearby placed their food scraps for compost.

Well, it was snowing very hard and I had my head down and collar up and tripped and landed face down in the steaming muck.

^^D1^^

That man is recollecting every decision he had ever made that brought him to that very minute in his life.

^^D2^^

Mommy needs another sake.

^^D3^^

My brother was four years older than me and he threw me a baseball very high and when I tried to catch it, it caromed off the webbing of my glove and smacked me right in the face. My crying brought my mother to the yard where my brother said, "I told him to use both hands." My mother looked down at me and said, "Next time use both hands," then returned to the house.

 A valuable lesson learned.

^^D4^^

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

^^D7^^

Oh, she never returned, no she never returned and her fate is still unknown...

^^D8^^

Here's how that happened...

It's okay, her face broke her fall.

^^D9^^

What it was was karma.

^^D10^^

Dirty Job

^^D11^^

Motorcade

My #1 advisor lived in Washington DC and she said that they had to pick their way around such things just about every day.

^^B15^^ Hedge fund dickwads are already getting into the water rights fuckery. Capitalism at its finest.

A12: Insiders claim that Bragg’s delay in bringing his “get Trump” indictment was because Bragg couldn’t make up his mind to charge Trump with the hush money case or Trump’s removal of a mattress tag in 1992.

A17: When the conversation is about guns, they pretend to care about “the children”. When the conversation is about abortion, they can’t kill “the children” fast enough.

Ralph Henry said...

Dear A12 Anon, Am I to assume that if a Democrat did exactly what Trump is accused of doing then you would be cool with it? Be honest now.

Ralph Henry said...

Dear A17 Anon, A mass of cells the size of half a Tic-Tac is not a child. If you think it is then don't get an abortion. But who are you to control women's bodies because you don't understand reproduction?

A17: So if guns kill people, I guess pencils miss spell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat. The problem: morality, ethics and culture in the US has gone to shit over the last 40 years. Yeah, let’s give Cardi B another grammy. Maybe she will sing WAP for you.

Biden is just as transphobic as the rest.

B1; Ralph, there have been 9 deaths in my family of which 8 were lung cancer. I have knowledge of 6 of them. All 6 had the cough you describe which your poor mother had. It is a common symmptom of more than one cancer, but especially that of the lung.

A17:The left wants abortion rights right up to the day of birth and not “half a Tic-Tac” . You are probably much more reasonable and would make it 5-10 days before birth. I think it’s you who doesn’t understand reproduction and biology. And no, men can’t get pregnant even in your bazaaro world. Study this now: one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY) you are a male regardless of any self mutilation. ”who are you to control women's bodies”? I don't care what they do to "their" body but a fetus is not their body. Its another human being. I know you know murder is a crime because you stated so above. Our culture has gone to shit and I don't see much difference in your devaluing life be it a baby, 5th grader or an old fart like you. You never hear crap from the left about birth control. Can you explain why? I’ll be waiting.

A12: Honestly, no I would not and many democrats agree it is weaponizing of the justice system, plain and simple. Anyone with a modicum of integrity would know that. Republicans just hold hearings and point fingers. Its fanatics like you who are the greatest threat to our democracy.

Dear A12 Anon, Did you see the storming of the Capital? Wasn't my people.
