Getting old sucks
This. A few months ago I discovered a small bump on my left eyelid. Had my annual dermatologist screening at that time & she referred me to an ophthalmologist. Turns out it's a backed up lubricating gland. Did antibiotics, ointment & warm compresses for 2 weeks. All that resulted in was the doxycycline knocking down my immune system (which is formally mutant-level strong) so I picked up a head cold. Next step is a procedure next Thurs where they're gonna unblock it. Sounds like they're lancing a zit over my eye.

RIP Brian Wilson
It's hard to argue that BW didn't have one of the most melodic ears ever. His tapestry was so much bigger than all but a very, very select few. RIP Brian.

Welp. That about wraps this grand experiment up.

I'm An Alcoholic
Yeah, and buddy of mine just picked up his wife after a 30 day stint at a place down on SPI. This was her 4th stay at a facility since 2019. Don't know the names of the others but they were all located between Bastrop, Houston and Austin. Can't say if it's a reflection on the care being offered, the depth of her disease or a combination. The limited feedback from the BIL so far has been positive with him embracing the recovery journey. The past 5 years or so have been hell on them. At least a half dozen ER trips, multiple seizures & other episodes, etc. Everyone thought he hit his bottom last fall, but he found a way to go even deeper. It's pure luck that he didn't physically harm anyone or end up in jail during his spiral.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Does "makes a perfect Old Fashioned" indicate he's a sub or a dom?

BIL entered La Hacienda in Hunt this morning. Yesterday was his birthday. This is his first step to having another one next year.

I want to embrace my country again
I'm sure this is common knowledge, but Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land is Your Land" as a direct retort to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America."

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Heard a MAGA the other day say the reason cursive isn't being taught anymore is so that people will no longer be able to read the constitution which will lead to their rights being stolen. We're fucked.

Hold your left arm with your right to provide the subtext that you're fighting every urge not to jack off on your mom's curtains behind you.

Worst album cover artwork
@jimmyjazz I don't think Annie Leibovitz was in their Rolodex. Embarrassed to admit I recognized at least 3 of them from my dad's collection.

Worst album cover artwork
Inspired by seeing this Rick Springfield album at Half Price Books the other day. I call this pose, "did he cum or did he poop?"

That plunge in Lake Superior caused your surly warrior trsticles to drop. Which is odd, because that water's so cold they normally retract up inside your body cavity after a dip.

OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance
How does BV sit w/ the Oklahoma media? Has he done enough glad handing, given "insider" access, and general ass kissing to convince the media hacks to carry his water ? Or are they anxiously waiting to pull out the long knives? Not that traditional sports media matters much these days, but I'm curious if they have their own Kurt Bowels-types up there who want to drop a 3lb shit in BV's oatmeal on the reg.

Boo fucking hoo Ashli Babbitt
Because dotard painted her as a hero, fighting for HIM. And since he's convinced those dumb fucks he's fighting for THEM when he's actually just stealing money, benefits, jobs and needed social services from them...well, welcome to Shitsville. Population: all of us.

Off Grid Alaska
So how big is the house that you're renovating? If you prefer living in 400 sf, what constitutes "too much house" for you to be comfortable in? I've gotta imagine getting supplies for a reno takes just a bit longer up there. You're probably not running to a Home Depot for just a few odds & ends. Is this a full gut job or just a refresh?

Dottie just drank Trevor's milkshake with her "there is no other choice" retort to his loving Scottie's choice of putter from off the green.

Best opening lyrics of all time
To me it's the second line --"the first kick I took was when I hit the ground"--that reveals the character's lot in life. The world's been beating this guy since day one, and it ain't letting up.

Trump’s America
That's what bully wannabe dictators do: threaten any dissenting voices. I guarantee you that Bruce's security detail at his Colt's Neck farm is already working overtime to make sure the property is further protected from any MAGATS that have a fever dream of what could be.

Trump’s America
I always get a kick out of dotard blasting any celeb, public figure, author, etc. as having "no talent." What has he ever done artistically that would lead one to believe he has any creative capability at all? In his world, Lee Greenwood, Scott Baio, and Kid Rock have had a more lasting impact on music & film than Bruce, Taylor and De Niro.
