  1. Well the French and the British didn't come help the Confederacy, maybe the Russians will.
  2. Don't sell yourself short. I'm doing a remake of a classic film-- can you sing, or at least chant?
  3. If you're really rich, have the cartels fly you in some real food from Mexico.
  4. [FurrowedBrow] Well of course Mr. Dresner needs to go to prison, but you didn't have things like this happening before certain abnormal elements in society were allowed to undermine our nation's morals and standards. We need to go back to a simpler time when women gave men what they needed and any man who didn't "need" what a woman naturally wants to give just became a sailor or a playwright and served society honorably. Remember how those classic plays had a certain jittery energy like a steam engine running hot, the whistle-switch clamped down tight and unable to make a peep? Oh my. [/FB]
  5. And trying to flee to ArMEEnia. Musta had an underage online sweetheart lined up there.
  6. I think the geezer was winding him up.
  7. That thing's gonna get knocked over before the driver can even close Instagram.
  8. Woke up in the middle of the damn night (5am) so I could dress, drive, and stagger into an MRI machine in a basement. Worst thing about getting an MRI in a basement, is, you're getting an MRI in a basement. At least there were the soothing tones of Kraftwerk outtakes. Yeah I know soldiers and dairy farmers and other victims get up early. I was a soldier and I quit. If you gifted me some dairy cows I'd try to be nice to them and all, but if they wanted to get milked at 4am I'd sell all their cow-asses to somebody who is a MoRnInG PerSoN! Just pay me what's fair, leave the money on the front steps, I'll gather it up after I wake up for lunch.
  9. Laugh now, Libtard, but I notice you conveniently left out the Biden Crime Family. Biden's up to, what, 90+ criminal charges?
  10. Necrobump again. Finally got the German halftracks and other stuff finished and mailed off. Yes that's fake snow. I was going to use real snow but it kept melting.
  11. France is fun that way. If you're low on funds in Europe, and want some entertainment, just find a park bench near where a German cop might need to write a traffic ticket for a Frenchman.
  12. Yeah, they did that for me with England and Ireland. It may be accurate, it may have to do with how many people there took the test. In my case, there's a good 1/4 of the family with Highland Scottish names who barely leave a blip. For some of them we know which town or island they came from, but no dice. On the other hand, pretty strong showings in the west of Ireland and round about Manchester, Liverpool, and nearby industrial areas. I don't doubt that many of them came from there too, it matches other names. So where are the Scottish Highlanders? Well, most of them don't live in the Highlands anymore, thanks to the clearances and normal backwoods emptying-out. So where might distant cousins from there live now? Possibly all over. Sitting in Manchester taking 23nMe tests? But in the meantime I just claim the Pogues and Gerry and the Pacemakers. [EDIT: Coming back to your German post, I heard that at one time you could travel across Eastern Europe in a cart and sleep in a German village every night. They even made it to the Volga.]
  13. Her normal voice is, well, normal. Probably used the normal voice in run-throughs before she started ACTING.
  14. I had hopes for Katie way back when. She came from the staff of Richard Shelby, a fairly chill guy who advised Republicans to write in somebody other than Roy Moore. Like Shelby, she was disliked by local radio Maggroid, who were fans of Angry Traitor Snow-Monkey Mo Brooks. That affected voice. Maybe she's just got the caint-heppits. I first heard her use it when she strategically started sucking up to Trump, IIRC it was an ad where she was speaking in a baby voice about appreciating farmers who go to work from the moment God puts the sun in the sky, presumably a Crayola blue sky.
  15. I do think that's Katie Britt's kitchen. The fact that it looks unused makes the case. She seems like the type who would opt for some echoing open-plan slap-together multi-gable Prancing-Pony-at-Bree stone + brick ChickMansionfilA. Turns out there a name for the whisper-voice she used: Fundie Baby Voice. I encountered it decades ago in Tammy Faye Bakker wannabees who would burst into tears to control their children.
  16. "Moms for libros." Man, somebody really put in the extra hours on the old Spanglish there.
  17. You don't miss it, but your dinner servants do. You've packed them all in the kitchen with the scullery maids, and now the servants of other households mock them.
  18. Nope. Water is way too wet.
  19. Nothing good happens before noon. I want more afternoon sun, and today I get it.
  20. With gold shooting up, and the general public buying metal at Costco, I wonder how long before we see some classic scams. Thought I would review some past classics and y'all can jump in with any y'all remember. I wonder where Hannes Tulving Jr. is now. My memory is fuzzy, so maybe google for exact details, but iirc in the early 90s he was a numismatics dealer (for new guys, numismatics = coins valued on condition and rarity instead of just weight and composition) and was part of a trend at that time of selling them as investments with a predictable increase in value. Well, the bottom fell out of that, and I believe he got charged with knowingly flogging over-priced assets. Don't think he did actual time. Well, next he alters course, gets out of numismatics, and goes pure bullion, where x amount of gold or silver is worth y dollars. He specialized in minimum orders of thousands of dollars and shipped fast for the minimum mark up. This went smoothly for years. Something changed around 2013-2014. Orders went out slowly or not at all. Tulving was running some sort of Ponzi where he would take cash from new orders to buy the metal to fulfill older orders. By the time the engine seized up, he owed in excess of 15 million to 300+ people (it's probably gone forever) and he got sent to Club Fed for a few years in 2016. He should be out by now, and still under 70 years old. I wonder what he's up to now.
