  1. One of the few happy stories about Jews trying to leave Nazi Germany in the 1930s was the story about some rich Jewish guy who the Nazis were watching because they did not want him to take his wealth out of the country and they knew he probably wanted to leave. He had some relative in Switzerland that he and the family would visit for a day and come back. Every time they searched his car thoroughly looking to see if he was trying to smuggle wealth out of Germany. Which was illegal. Every time they searched his car, they found a picnic basket lunch of kosher food and a whole bunch of tools in the trunk. Hammers, pipe wrench, etc. And also a set of golf clubs. So one day, he and his family crossed the border and never came back. He had somebody cast all of those tools and his irons in his golf club bag out of platinum. I guess 20 or 30 pounds of platinum was worth something.
  2. I wonder if Wasatchhorn ever wound up on Surly with a new handle. He complained about “RC Didn’t Offer”being a recruiting forum title that needed to be changed as irrelevant - and I suggested to black lab that Wasatchhorn be changed to ‘RC Slocum’. Which he did. I hope that did not run him off forever

  4. Well, she speaks Bolverk’s language…
  5. I think one of the reasons people drink is because they know it affects other folk’s lives negatively, which makes a decent person feel bad. Which makes them need to drink, ‘cause shame and pain. A sociopath would not give a shit. If a dash of empathy for one’s behavior affecting others is all that was needed to stop - you’d have no alcoholics. As I finished typing this, I realized you might’ve been talking about “don’t drive your drunk ass around until you pass out and take out a whole family when you cross the centerline.” My brother-in-law is currently a guest of the state of Georgia for his fifth DUI. So it’s easier said than done.
  6. The Château Ste Michelle Brut bubbly is my favorite for bottle number 2 or 3. (I enjoy an expensive bottle of champagne for the first bottle popped, but by the time everyone starts to get snockered they won’t know the difference. Like if you want your third Jack Daniels and Coke you’re gonna get Old Crow and coke at my party and like it. Because you really can’t tell when you dump Coke in it.) A good budget price Cab Sav or Merlot is the Freak Show offering.
  7. Bruin, can’t Bounty- the picker upper - pick up mold?
  8. you can’t tell me there’s not one emotionally disturbed veteran whose life will be severely impacted by this who can do a better job than that numbskull stalking Trump at the golf course… Modern Charles Get-out, where are ye??
  9. “… there’s a big difference between mostly heinous and all heinous…
  10. Yup. A mid-major opponent loaded with seniors who had been playing together for years always scared the crap out of me.
  11. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-basketball/article/march-madness-uconn-reportedly-threatens-reporter-over-viral-clip-of-dan-hurleys-expletive-filled-rant-171111073.html just when I thought I couldn’t hate U-conn more…nice PR there.
  12. Well, this will make them far more likely to share classified stuff with us.
  13. I’m sure that the Houthi cleaning lady assigned to mop around the boxes at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago bathroom was not surprised by any of this.
  14. Which is why I hate the Dutch! Fuck those wooden shoe clad traitors and their tulip bulb Ponzi schemes!
  15. Read what the Russian bot ( or the MAGA smooth brain ) says in the first comment. Mind bottling
