  1. The boy and I just goofed off and went to Pinballz for a coupla hours. He now owns the high score on Pac Man. I own it on Missile Command and Tempest. And we tied for the high score on Sea Wolf. Then, we figured out which ticket games could be gamed, we did so, and he cashed out tickets for a drone. Then picked up church’s spicy and okra on the way home. That’s a good evening any way you cut it. Glad to have him home.
  2. Wait…Lyle got with Kelly Willis? Now I REALLY hate him.
  3. We are pretty much there with the MAGAts already. Dead-on, “having a vagina = consent.” You’re making that up. Taint true.
  4. So much this. I don’t WANT to place a goddamn online order. I don’t want to have to enter my preferred delivery time and address. I just want to see if you offer extreme fajitas and pizza shooters and see how much they cost. That’s it. I want to see your goddamn menu. It’s not hard to post it. Lots of places do.
  5. Smoked turkey and scallops.
  6. 100% this. We need to come to terms with - and truly accept - the fact that most of this country is retrograde as fuck. They won’t vote for a woman. And they won’t vote for a minority. A handful were swayed to vote for Obama, it were them subjected to literally DECADES of the right telling everyone that he was the worstest, most awfullest, evilest, demonic, divisive figure in American history. And they bought it. And they’ll never go back. We elected a black man president, and in the end, it likely destroyed the Republic. Not because of him, but because of us.
  7. As I’ve noted, they’ll pivot to saying that “taking what you want is an alpha move - that my President!” They have already totally transformed our moral landscape. We are going to end up with rape not only not being a negative, but actually a positive. It won’t take long, we’re practically there already.
  8. Oh, he’s alone. Because he let himself fall to shit and can’t travel. And he got married again soon after my wife’s mom died, because he wanted a woman to take care of him, because he’s a spoiled infant. And it didn’t even work. So now he’s stuck in a middling nursing home near her, not near either one of his kids. Because that’s how these people roll.
  9. Wife is currently on the phone with her Trumpy dad to wish him a merry Xmas. He has the TV on in the background - sounds like Fox - so fucking loud he can barely have a conversation. But it ain’t getting turned down. Because old Trumpers will literally die if they don’t have propaganda screaming in their ears at every waking moment.
  10. But what if I told you that, heading into my teen years, I was pretty nerdy and on the introverted side? And I also realized that I was kinda lonely, and was clearly on the “not what girls are interested in” list. i didn’t want to be there. So, I just gutted up, and went through some real trial-and-error shit, some of which was really uncomfortable. I developed most of my social skills, I sure as shit didn’t come by them naturally or early. it doesn’t mean you have to be “the life of the party.” Be who you are, because being authentic is the only absolute necessity. But…you can be who you are AND be just engaging enough. My son is the introvert in our family. He put himself out there and made himself develop some skills. He’s still the most introverted among us, but he also does just fine, and has actually developed some public speaking skill. if you like to eat well, you probably need to learn to cook a bit, even if it doesn’t come naturally. You don’t have to be a Michelin starred chef. Just develop some basic techniques. Making friends/meeting women is no different.
  11. The rare triple Christmas post. But I DO hate him that much.
  12. All of these. Every day, I wake up wishing that I’m greeted by a phone blowing up with that news. Whatever day it happens on will become a sacred holiday for me and mine. All of these.

  14. Follow me here: we should have nabbed him on the street, decided unilaterally that he was an illegal, and immediately shipped him to a shithole prison in an unnamed country. Give him all the due process he thinks other people deserve, nothing more and nothing less.
  15. Well, see, Brazil has a much more highly functioning democracy than we do. True fact. Zero sarcasm or exaggeration. Sigh.
  16. “Next thing ya know, they’ll be teaching that colored fellas marrying white women isn’t an abomination against God’s law, and we can’t have that.” This state is such a bucket of runny shit.
  17. The Economist regularly places end punctuation outside the quotation marks. It drives me nuts. Clearly, it’s an alternate convention, not an error (because it’s consistent). But I hate it.
  18. Making final preparations. Not too much left to do. Wife is helping preside at the 4:00 service, we’re all attending the 6:00 service tonight, I’ll be the reader for the passage from Matthew. Both kids are here. They couldn’t come home last year; the boy was stuck in Germany with visa challenges due to the backlog of applicants from the war. Yeah, our kid couldn’t come home “because of the war.” Odd phrase to be saying, but there we are. And it turned out to be our last Christmas with my father, who was gone a month later. So, we’re still digging through generations worth of their stuff. 1944. Probably somewhere in France. My grandfather spent a very cold Christmas tending to the P-47s of his unit, hoping they could get in the air to provide some much-needed air support to the troops on the ground holding off the German counteroffensive at the Bulge. A ranching man from deep South Texas, at war in Europe. A few months later, he would cross the Rhine at Worms. Today, his great-grand daughter lives and studies near the banks of the Rhine, downstream at Bonn. The world keeps turning, taking us to places, then back again. Some Christmases are peaceful reveries with family. Some are bitterly cold, in a tent (or worse), unsure of how a war will end. I’m not sure what to do with that truth. I’m glad grandpa Ted came home, and raised my mother, who had just been born in January of that year. I’m glad that our family has gone back to Germany, making friends, and a future. I don’t know what next Christmas will be like. But we have this one, right in front of us. I hope you can spend it with people you love. I hope your tent is warm, wherever it may be.
  19. My son put it more succinctly: “just treat women like human beings, and it all falls into place.” Seriously, all the dominoes fall once you do that. Have give-and-take conversations with women, treat them with respect, actually get to know them…and then it become super-easy to engage with and attract women you’re interested in because guess what? You’ve already run the drill. The boy has several female friends. They do things together, make each other laugh, trust and help each other. That’s the foundation for any healthy relationship, including an intimate one. I mean, does it frustrate me that he just thinks of that super-cute and smart Sarah from Manchester as just a friend? Sure. But the flip side of that is that she’s one of his biggest advocates, looks out for him, speaks well of him to other women, etc. The bigger umbrella problem here is what is pointed out above: these dudes have no social skills AT ALL. They can’t even engage in decent relationship with other guys.
  20. And....that's the part that Bozo etc. don't get. At the first sign of discomfort -- real or imagined, it doesn't matter, so your "empathy" and acknowledgement doesn't make a shit -- white america immediately looks for "others" to sacrifice into a volcano, throw under a bus, deport, imprison, whatever it takes.
  21. That's really all you need to know. Switch those names, and the right-wing news ecosystem would be non-stop, 24/7, in neon lights ZOMG HUNTER BIDEN!
