  1. “Now Kyle, I told you two coats of wax. Don’t try to con me!”
  2. No convictions.
  3. Big Blew
  4. Since I wanna flee this Trump shit hole, the closest thing to New Orleans culture wise, I can find as an ex-pat is the Island of Malta. The Golden Visa requirements just about wipes me out financially (I structured some annuity income for my retirement, but that won’t cut it with these guys. Lump sum contributions or fuck off ), so I’m trying to mooch off some rich relatives so I can retire there.
  5. Texas can take down new #1. New #2 is down with that.
  6. August 2nd Paratroopers Day in Russia gonna be slightly different this year
  7. That is why if I’m going to drill or plug or pump metal or give lead poisoning to an egg, I check my gat before. You know - my rod, my Roscoe, my heater, my piece, my Mohaska.
  8. thanks for destroying that woke age equals wisdom concept.
  9. More affirmation of my dad’s feelings. Listen to this Battle of the Bulge veteran tanker giving you his opinion of the 82nd airborne. edit: starts at the 9:33 mark
  10. I listened to a post game Auburn podcast, and it was fascinating. All they argued about was whether or not losing to Florida at a home increased or decreased their chances of winning in their matchup with Alabama two games from now. Bama is in Auburn’s head the same way Aggie thinks about Texas. Sad, really. They didn’t discuss how this loss might affect their NCAA tournament result chances or expose them to teams following Florida’s game plan - just that they needed to win the conference over the Tahd, and how they needed to avoid a letdown at Vanderbilt that could culminate in a loss to Alabama and then losing the SEC championship to Bama.
  11. Dammit. Now I want Randy Rainbow to sing his rendition of “Ball’s Deep in Jesus”
  12. I honestly did not see that coming. But me happy. Me very happy.
  13. Let’s not get all existential up in here…
  14. Actually, the Old Testament God is really an asshole. A murdering genocidal, kill kids type of asshole. The Gnostic folks tried to resolve this dilemma of God is Holy, while being a true asshole, by concluding that there was a different Old Testament God than the New Testament God of love who cares for man. They theorized that the New Testament God was superior to the lower status sorta evil Old Testament deity. It might’ve been a tad simplistic, but it certainly helped to resolve issues with God slaughtering so many innocents. And really, what type of supposed Supreme Being is hung up on smelling the barbecue goodness of an animal offering to him? That dichotomy is also a nifty way to side step the band on eating shrimp, poor boys and the refusal to adhere to menstruation tents. I had a conversation with my minister on this subject, and I asked him how seminary education dealt with that vengeful Old Testament God thing. He replied that they were far more important things to focus on, like the salvation of man. Has anyone had a similar discussion with their pastor?
  15. I see that my local grocery store is peddling Delta-9 THC sodas.
  16. This had my interest for a while until I realized that nobody had named their seconds.
  17. I filed mine early. I already have 35 years in, but every year I continue to work they replace a low paying year with my current salary. And then it takes a long time for their paperwork to catch up (normally the following October ) and they figure the 35 best years and I always get an increase in my Social Security in addition to the cola. I figured that if enough of them lost their jobs and/or did not give a crap anymore - that this increase would be delayed. Or mistakes might be made. So I filed two weeks ago and I’m hoping they’ll give me my extra hundred bucks a month forever when they do that calculation.
  18. All of this is absolutely true. But the X factor is that they are also largely huge bullies and pussies. So while they will accept some kind of degradation, they will absolutely crumble and start crying and raging if the negative consequence is significant. Because that is also classic bully behavior. I’m trying to invent reasons for optimism Buddy, cut me some slack. lol
  19. Damn that primogeniture!
  20. Perhaps you can point out the DNC infomercials that ran this election cycle, because I sure as shit did not see them. Other posters have said it’s up to the Democrats to end run the information vacuum that the GOP voters have - where they only listen to their own news source and refuse to listen to CNN or New York Times or Washington Post or anyone but OAN and Fox. it doesn’t bother me that you think I’m suggesting a failed strategy, but it’s far more helpful if you propose a better solution. maybe a better strategy is to just run the infomercial ads in markets that are largely made up of women. They are currently the ones losing all of their rights, so if we can’t sway their husbands, maybe we could sway them to vote secretly. I have no solution.
