"top plate"

Based on his earlier works, I assume it took him 4,322 words to say that.

His first name is "Forest"

She's been in the situation room plenty, with several generals. If you took a poll of each of them and asked them who's smarter, Harris or Trump, it would be 100% for Harris.

Weird. It was there for sure when I posted.

1) they also sell it at costco 2) I put it in the GF's cup and pour coffee over it every morning and it melts in just fine. Maybe it wouldn't with cold stuff, but it's fine with coffee. BTW OP, I knew somebody that had Lyme disease, and they had some of the same symptoms. Any tick bites?

So GOLL stuck you with the check (or, should I say stuck one of your clients with the check)?

very very weird

Lindell TV

was that "overheard in a hipster coffee shop"?

The ABC moderators will focus on Harris and attack her from every angle to look "independent".

@immamac proposal for thread title change: "Swindell is a dumbshit and we all hope his daughter is safe"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/25/larry-david-donald-trump-abortion-satire/ 4 min 6162 By Larry David August 25, 2024 at 8:42 a.m. EDT Larry David is a writer, actor and television producer. “It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after birth. And that’s exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable. And almost everyone agrees with that.” — Donald Trump He’s right: We do support executions after birth. In fact, many Dems support executions of kids up until age 4 or until they start kindergarten. I respect their opinions, but that’s a little late for my taste. I’m good until 2½. I’ve never said this publicly, but my wife, Thelma, and I had a post-birth abortion, and it was just minutes after the baby was born. I was in my 30s when I met the girl of my dreams. We shared much in common, especially our belief in post-birth abortions. In fact, that was one of my questions on our first date, because it would have been a big red flag for me if she didn’t. Thankfully, she was even more adamant about them than I was. It was a match made in heaven. A few months after we got married, Thelma told me she was pregnant. When she went into labor, I watched in awe as our baby emerged from the womb. After our son was swaddled, the doctor showed him to my wife, who had a bit of an odd reaction. I wouldn’t call it a wince; it was more a gasp of surprise — but not in a good way. Then the doctor showed him to me. I didn’t say out loud what I was thinking, but the acronym “WTF” crossed my mind, followed by “OMFG!” Could those be my genes? Granted, I’m no Mr. America, but I’m certainly not so unsightly as to produce that! Was my grandfather, whom I always called “Trigger” because of his resemblance to Roy Rogers’s horse, the culprit? Do horseface genes, like baldness, skip a generation? Maybe the problem was on Thelma’s side, but this was not the time to explore that. I was disappointed, to say the least, but the thought of doing anything about it hadn’t crossed my mind. Thelma, bless her heart, was the one who brought it up. “No way I’m taking him home. He’s embarrassing. Am I supposed to show that monster to my parents and my friends? I can’t even look at him without cringing.” I had to admit she had a point. I turned to the doctor. He was wearing a Jimmy Carter campaign pin, so I had no qualms about asking his opinion. The doctor pursed his lips. “I completely agree with her. I even had to look away for a moment when I pulled him out. He’s not going to have an easy life with a punim like that. So if you want to do it, now’s the best time.” Fortunately, we lived in California. A lot of people around the country had to drive out of state for their post-birth abortions. What a drag that must’ve been — before podcasts! I turned to Thelma. “You down?” She didn’t hesitate. “Yeah, let’s do it.” The doctor nodded and took the grotesquerie into another room. Thelma, who had been in a foul mood since the kid came out, perked up. “Hey, maybe we can go to Skip’s party now!” Yeah, I thought, Skip’s party! I had been sorry to miss that. “Sure, why not? Nothing’s stopping us.” “But aren’t they going to ask about the baby?” “Yeah, so what? There’s going to be a lot of post-birth abortionists there. John and Patti had one. Jim and Ria offed twins!” “Oh, right, right! The twins! Yeah, let’s go. How fun!” And with that, the doctor returned. “Well,” he gushed, rubbing his hands together, “all done! You can go now.” “Excellent,” Thelma said, getting out of bed. As we gathered our things, I reached into my pocket for the parking ticket, but, of course, per usual, it wasn’t there. I checked all my pockets twice: No ticket! Why does this always happen to me? What could I have done with it? I know the guy handed it to me. I slammed my palm against the wall. “Now it’s going to take a year to get out of here, and they’ll probably charge me the max.” But then the doctor came through again. “There it is on the floor!” Phew! I effusively thanked the doctor for everything. And as I wheeled Thelma out of the hospital, I couldn’t help but wonder when she might be ready to try again.

also, I discovered that it has a light that I never knew about. I replaced the bulb and it works. I don't remember it ever having one, and neither does the GF. But, it's got one now.

FML. Our Kenmore dryer started making serious noise. I bought a roller kit from Amazon for 40 bucks, and it included a belt and idler pulley. I spent a few hours this morning taking the fucker apart, cleaning it thoroughly, installing the new parts, and re-assembly. I must have taken out 75 screws. I put 71 screws back in. 4 left over. But it's as quiet as a church mouse now. One of the rollers seemed to spin OK, but there are two big flat spots on the wheel, so it was seizing up for sure. Maybe when it got hot?

Padres just won 3-1 on a walk off solo HR in the 9th. check that 3-2

My College GF's dormmate was a member of the Mauna Loa family. She had an eating disorder. Girl was kinda cute, but really fucked up. From Hilo HI

In the playoffs against Mountain Lakes, I was thinking about cooze and missed a fly ball. I never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

The tall Pringles cans are very useful for smuggling a couple of beers into a venue.

the "Rome 2 Rio" app is fantastic for getting around anywhere.
