It’s thundering and raining. I got a dog under my desk.
Aria doesn’t care for storms.
Got a belly laugh from this:
OH no. It really is true. Just days after calling in the administrators, Body Shop has started to shut its branches across the country.
So where am I going to get my satsuma body butter now? And my carrot moisturiser? And my tea tree oil?
I guess I’ll have to go back to the olden days of using soap and water and accepting the fact that old people are supposed to look like scrotums.
Jeremy Clarkson, Poached from Kim
He’s the only one I’ve ever heard use the word ‘scrotum’ on video. He had a segment on Top Gear where him and James May were riding bikes in London, but he was getting chapped. So he went in a store and bought some cream, which didn’t work. So he asked a closed restaurant: “Can I come in and use your lavatory? My scrotum is on fire”.
Heh…zero hours. The lengths people wil go to to prevent paying benefits. Wife 1.0 had to deal with this at a nonprofit. Interestingly, in Texas, non profits (like Churches) don’t have to pay into TWC (unemployment). So, when you are cut loose, you are well and truly screwed. Happened to a friend of mine.
Yellen is flexing and wants to steal Russia’s assets in this country. She doesn’t think there’ll be implications.
“Realistically, there are not alternatives to the dollar, euro, and yen,” she said
Yet. Keep it up and they will surely appear.
Trump won in the supreme court when they handed Colorado and other states a 9-0 smackdown. Now, the rending of garments. I had a friend who would look at this and say “You know, on some level, the system works”. The thing is, we have a constitution laws and rules. Break them and you don’t get your way. That is how it’s supposed to work. I guess democracy is all fun and games until it shtups you in the ass. The problem is they make shit up, like “it was an insurrection” and then start believing their own bullshit. It’s mass psychosis with these people. To this date, I’ve yet to have anyone on the left articulate to me why they think Joey IceCreamCone is a better alternative.
I’ve had two idiots in EVs brake check me this week. One in a Tesla X, the other in a Chebbie Bolt. For those that are not car folks, this is a Chebbie Bolt:
This is my Excursion:
Both times my first thought was they had to be kidding me. You’re in an electric car, which has a risk of detonating when hit, and you are brake checking the 3.6 tons of American pig-iron that’s crawling up your ass because you’re driving like an imbecile. As an aside, it’s not that they are EVs. It’s that they are the same mindset that buys small cars or hybirds and drives slow to save the environment. Or their batteries. Tesla owners are especially douchy, because they do that and immediately speed up. In the Bolt was an old scrotum faced lady (see how I worked that in?) that glared at me when I passed her like a freight train instead of hitting my brakes. For the record, I was a reasonably and prudent 2 seconds following distance behind them. They were going SLOOOOOOOW. That’s why all they saw in the rearview was a blue oval on a grill. Man, it’s almost worth it to hit them like a pool q-ball.
Haley, America’s shrill ex-wife is out of the race. As if anyone cares.
I’ve been getting acquainted with the new bike. It’s a big girl, with a longer wheelbase and over double the weight of my last bike. Mostly it handles a bit like any other bike. It’s just the low speed turning that’s weird. It takes a turn, a lean, and some throttle to turn tight as well as some forethought. For instance, instead of perpendicular to the road you’re turning on, you want to start at a 45 degree. It simply won’t turn as tight as you need. I was with some friends the other night and said it was learning a new woman. Then I caught myself and said it’s more like a horse. You need to get used to how they are.
Gab changed it’s plans so that you had to be pro or better to post media. I really don’t have a problem with this. Funny that some of the loudest bitching is coming from those with pro status already. I find it nearly as useless as any other social media. They do have some decent groups though. Vox Day has been laughing about it, which has the freeloaders squawking and carrying-on. Vox Populi was great when it had comments, because they were heavily moderated. Every now and then he’d make an example of a gamma sperg. Now, you can comment on Socialgalactic. I have that with my subscription to UATV. Paying for the service raises the quality. Nitwits don’t pay to sperg. Worth the money, I think.
Speaking of useless social media, I rejoined Facebook for two reasons – it’s how my kids and some of my family communicate and Facebook marketplace. It’s as useless, probably more so, than I remember. My main feed has tons of thots, mostly from China. They probably are all AI. No matter. I’m no dummy. There’s virtually no personal information on it. I post nothing but dog pics. And I access it from a sandbox. It has no access to anything important in my digital world, Certainly not my mobile.
Not watching that old fart’s state of the union. Don’t give two shits what he has to say.
We don’t want any California bullshit here in Texas either.
Found on my Ring:
Looks like East Plano/Wylie. Hmm. Didn’t think they had a jogger issue there. Never had an Amazon pack stolen. That said, let me think what Amazon sent me the other day. Mmmm…Underwear and Tea. Yup. That would’ve been a score.
Heh…Then again, that’s a good target. Sort of where you want to aim, maybe a little higher, to hit under a vest. May or may not take them out, but they’ll be pissing into a bag if they live.
Speaking of targets:
Two words: head shot. What’s the point of camo when you have a purple target on your noggin? I read a great book called ‘War Reporting for Cowards’. Funny book. First thing the Marines he was embedded with told him was to ditch the blue bullet proof vest he bought. When SHTF you may have to look less…fabulous!
For all the gamers:
All I got. Have a good weekend.
