Sisterhood, You Say?
I don’t, as a feminist, want to undermine your earning capacity, but…
Tim Newman finds plenty to poke at in a clip from This Morning, about feminism and glamour models in televised darts competitions. Do note who condescends and does the interrupting.
ESPN thinks “The Fighting Irish” is offensive, or racist, or somethinG
Yes, that has come up before in saner times and ignored. I’ve been anticipating its return. Given the current environment And the current academic entities there, I’ve also been awaiting the renouncement of The Michigan State (Nazi) Spartans.
granny panties are suddenly hip and trendy
No, just… no.
(>_<) (Damned hipsters and their pretentious "irony". < Charlton Heston voice on > Damn them all to hell.)

Okay, now waitaminute. Except for the 2 or 3 “high-waisted” models, those are way too skimpy for “granny panties”. Those look like what women wore in the 1970s and ’80s.
I guess we get to see a return of “panty lines” in clingy dresses and pants.
“It exists on the same plane of mild titillation as a magician’s glamorous assistant.”
Jeez, David, don’t give them any ideas!
Someone posted the following
Oh, that was me. Did it originate with Rush? I couldn’t remember.
Oh, nooo…

Personally, as a Muldoon, I’d like to know who these alleged “Irish” offended are, as I’ve never run into one, and I am sure the 69th Infantry Regiment of the NYARNG would like to have a chat with him about it, because “Fighting Irish” can only refer to drunks.
Uh huh . . . . For a slight bit of rephrasing to get the exact same general idea . . .
There’s been a few people whinging about the cultural appropriation of yoga over the last 12 months.
I don’t see anyone complaining about the cultural appropriation of cricket by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, etc. It’s an outrage!
Since there are many stories of cooking disasters, let me contribute.
I like curries, but didn’t make them. My wife loves them, so I carefully followed the recipe and made “Hyderabadi Lamb”, which was made with 3 large green chillies. It was delicious, and appreciated by all.
I decided to make it again, and collected the ingredients, but couldn’t find any large green chillies. Reasoning that one of the large chillies was equal in size to five of the small ones, I purchased 15 of the birdseyes, and prepared the meal exactly as before, substituting 15 small chillies for 3 large ones.
This is how I learned about the Scoville Heat Unit scale…

Daniel, I don’t know if Limbaugh coined it or merely modified someone else’s earlier quip, but he certainly popularised it.
Spot on, I say.
Goddammit!
Sorry, girls, looks like you’re out of a job. It’s for your own good.
As one comment I saw said, it’s a very odd way of promoting feminism, making an event proportionally more male.

Now there is no reason to watch F1, NASCAR, OTOH…
Strong, independent, modern women, Farnsworth. That’s what I like to see.
(And I don’t suppose I need point out in this company that I’m not being remotely sarcastic. They’re earning their own livings, not sucking at the teat of the taxpayer, like some people we could mention.)
Sam,
They are also diverse ! (Which we know is the most important criteria for anything these days)
Meanwhile, back in the world of sports and things about which to be offended, this git at ESPN thinks “The Fighting Irish” is offensive, or racist, or something, and needs to change.
It’s to ensure consistency with their bloviations about Native Americans.
When Washington came to Minnesota for a (non-metric) football game some time ago, some wag observed that there was one team on the field whose mascot represented a bunch of savages who raped, pillaged, plundered, and terrorized tens of thousands of decent farmers and townspeople, and another team whose mascot was offensive.
I believe he got four Problematics for his observation.
“It’s a soft g, like a j.”
.
Heh, that reminds me of the times I have to spell words in French containing those two letters. The letter ‘g’ in French sounds like ‘j’ and vice versa.
So what usually happens is that the listener assumes I’m getting it wrong (because I don’t have an outrageous French accent), so they do a wrong letter substitution.
This causes me to send them this:
