  1. So glad this heinous douche is in custody. Caveat the entrance of Jack Ruby. He’s been dyin oot theer et tha leek, doncha know? Come to think of it, the killer looks kinda like the guy shoveling snow who said that line. Hmmmm.
  2. This is a healthy thread and good on the OP for starting it. Somewhere in America, Donald Trump is trying to figure out how he can con someone with actual wisdom into telling him how to broker a truce between Iran and Israel. I lived through October 1962 listening to air raid drill sirens in the night not knowing if my family and I would live through the next week. A gang of steel tank manufacturers somehow ended up in my fifth grade classroom showing films of Hiroshima and Nagasaki walking dead with radiation burns and scaring the shit out of ten year olds. We all went home begging our parents to go immediately and hire Dixie Steel (their real name) into putting a fallout shelter in our back yard. My father listened to my ranting and calmly said “We are not having a fallout shelter installed. We have a basement. If that won’t save us, then . . . we’ll just have to tough it out.” He asked me what I would do if my buddies from the neighborhood tapped on our “lid” wanting to get in and share our shelter, which was knly big enough for three? I had no answer in my pea brain. Right then I decided to find a way not to face that horrible choice. It is up to us. Elect good people.
  3. I’m enjoying my 42nd father’s day, much the same as my first. My daughter left out a basket of nice goodies and dark roast coffee for me, and my sweet and beautiful bride just wished me a good day. This has been a difficult year but we are rallying. I’m so thankful to have my girls living under the same roof again just as we were in 1984. I can honestly say I am married to the most beautiful female I have ever seen and she is more beautiful inside than out. I am one lucky dog. I hope all Surly fathers have a very pleasant day.
  4. When my daughter, Baby Llama, was barely two years old, Mama Llama and I were driving with her from our home on the Gulf Coast to Tuscaloosa to spend the weekend with my inlaws. I was driving. Mama was shotgun and Baby was directly behind Mama in back sucking a bottle, making a little bubbly intake sound. We were on US 43 crossing a bridge on a rather long upgrade. A vehicle was poking along ahead of us. I swung out to pass. I looked to be sure I was well past the vehicle before moving to the right lane, noticing a large AU decal in lower left corner of their rear windshield. As we overtook the car, the bubby sound suddenly stopped abruptly. From the back seat, “UGH! Auburn.” Mama looked at me with a broad smile on her beautiful face, and we bumped fists silently. That kid, now only 41, has always made us proud.
  5. I really don’t care if he has hobbies or likes music of any kind or whatever. I just want him the fuck out of disrupting my country. It was a pretty good country until he flipped so many chips in so many vulnerable heads. I had so many relatives and friends who were apolitical before Trump. It gave me real hope to see (on Surly this morning) the big No Kings turnout at The Villages, literally a Trumpism retirement destination elder zombie assisted living residential community and one of the reddest zip codes out there. You go gettem, my gray panther brothers and sisters! Now where’s my walking stick, Martha?
  6. A handful of extras in a movie about ancient Rome raise trumpets when the emperor rides by and play a fanfare sounding like the entire brass section of a big symphony orchestra (or the LHMB)
  7. Along with 99 44/100% of the internet and 100% of what comes from the orange orifice (the one with the capped teeth in it). The Friday/Saturday timeline’s not adding up to me.
  8. Call Davenport and Flowers. They’ll clean this up before dark.
  9. Jesus, get all the factual fackity fuckin facts before detaining, arresting or shooting anybody or blaming anyone or anything (except this fake cop asshole).
  10. @ 2:09 - if that doesn’t shake up your hemoglobin, you are deceased
  11. 1968 . . . 2025. These guys had it right. FOUR MINUTES TO TWELVE, AND THERE’S A MADMAN AT THE WHEEL
  12. Bless you, Bateshorn, your avatar alone will be enough to bring down this motherfucker, this Enemy of Enlightenment, this orange coated basilisk of bufgoonety. the mere sight of Elizabeth Taylor in Giant gives me hope and joy all at the same time. Keats wrote, “Beauty is truth and truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know.” Damn right. That tanned and luscious Liz in a bra in her prime avatar should be enlarged and affixed to giant signs and banners. Trump World will wither and dissolve like the Wicked Witch of the West. Where’s my evening dose of morphine?
  13. I got it - Michelle and Dubya! He loooves Michelle. He was giving her the Eyes of Texas all during Biden’s inauguration.

    Sly Stone - RIP

    Ain’t this a bitch!? If the Music Lover chorus doesn’t get you going you ain’t ever gonna go. That was the fucking apex of Woodstock:The Movie. ”All the squares gyaw hyowm!”
  15. Search “Wallace,” “Kennedy,” “Katzenbach” and “Tuscaloosa” and you will know. Washington phoned the script to Wallace and he performed his part, i.e., racist governor.
  16. JFK and RFK (Sr) had the good sense to choreograph the play with Wallace when sending the Guard and Nicholas Katzenbach into Tuscaloosa just about exactly 63 years ago this week. I clearly remember the choppers buzzing overhead and 1.5 ton troop trucks rumbling up and down the streets beside my house. I don’t see any choreography going on here. FUBAR quotient is high.
  17. Trump and Musk both make me puke. That said, show me NASA landing a huge booster smack on the “X” mark on the deck of a fucking barge at sea, no less, and then I’ll concede an edge to NASA. Then again, I made a C in high school physics so WTF do I know? I know I will die and be cremated and my ashes will be scattered to the four winds with me ever having voted for a Republican candidate in a presidential election. And I have voted in all them since 1972, inclusive. And Joe Namath was across the goal line in the Orange Bowl. And the score is still Texas 21, Alabama 17. I don’t trust “the cloud,” either.
  18. If y’all are talking about Sarah Silverman I find her mysterious, attractive, clever and hilarious at times but then again I voluntarily signed up for Shaggy and Surly. She does get into some topics that are off putting. I like her coquettish sluttiness. Thought she did a good job portraying the bitchy friend in School of Rock.
