Friday Ephemera
Stealth mode engaged. || Egg living dangerously. || Why dogs don’t rule the… Oh. || Sorcery with cardboard. || Children’s table manners of the fifteenth century: “Pyke notte thyne errys nothyr thy nostrellys.” || A brief history of the F-word. || He does this better than you do. || They do this better than you do. || Incoming. || This just in. || Just one kiss. || Coke stash of note. || How to wash your hands. || If we all attack at once, this island is ours. || Today’s words are sociology department. || ‘Progressive’ incentives and their predictable outcomes. || “This is a car. And this is a trampoline.” || Swimming while waterproof. || Want to tell the government what you think of the BBC? || And finally, blustery scenes.
If we all attack at once, this island is ours.
If we all attack at once, this island is ours.
Just one kiss.
The image/gif is already deleted. The few comments at reddit make me think that’s just as well.
He does this better than you do.
Ballsy.
‘Progressive’ incentives and their predictable outcomes.
Stunning and brave.
Morning, all.
Our betters attempt arithmetic.

How to wash your hands.

Heh.
Coronavirus, Japan 2020
‘Progressive’ incentives and their predictable outcomes.
Leftism versus real world.
Now we just need a WHO video demonstrating to the guys who run the Vietnamese restaurant downstairs from me how NOT to cough up giant balls of sputum every morning and spitting them onto the yard we all constantly use, and where their kitchen entrance is also conveniently situated. Pho kyu!

[ Urge to wash hands intensifies. ]
I’m sensing tension in the room.
Regarding the stick dilemma, other than that I am a bad person, I don’t know why this came to mind.
I know, rayciss, off to yet another regrooving.
Politicians, is there anything sciency they don’t know ?
Look, I am already off to regrooving, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Yet more hand washing techniques.
Ah, yes, table manners. Clearly an historical feature of oppressive white supremacy.
cough up giant balls of sputum every morning
I used to work in an office with a number of first-generation Chinese engineers. The office space was rented inside a larger building with shared washrooms per floor.
At one point the landlord told us in no uncertain terms that they would terminate our lease if we didn’t stop the Chinese employees from spitting into the sink and the floor drain. It’s cultural; they believe that expectorating is good for the health and the more you cough up the healthier it is.
I was a bit disappointed to see that errys was a reference to ears in the plural rather than another part of the anatomy in the singular…
Yet more hand washing techniques.
What are you supposed to do if there isn’t a POC to provide the other hand?
I always enjoy the juxtapositions that crop up on Fridays. Today, I’m particularly interested in seeing sociology prof Johnny Williams travel to Japan and insist to the masked Japanese people that there is no such thing as race, and that they are indistinguishable from and interchangeable with the Chinese tourists they currently keep at arm’s length.
If these idiots weren’t in positions where they influence our politics and corrupt our offspring, their parochialism might almost be charming.
“Pyke notte thyne errys”
Better than I expected. I thought “errys” must mean arse instead of ears.
I’m glad I was wrong
Sorry George, you noticed it two hours before I did!
“I’m sensing tension in the room.”
The bird is nailed to the perch?
” Today, I’m particularly interested in seeing sociology prof Johnny Williams travel to Japan and insist to the masked Japanese people that there is no such thing as race.
Like that Woke Professor I have been known to argue that there is no such thing as ‘white people’ – seriously, the definitions are contrary and keep changing and the folks most interested in the terms are either white supremacist dickheads or their woke/progressive mirror image – but I haven’t gone on to square the rhetorical circle like this professor and go on to blame ‘white people’ anyway.
My dear Muldoon, I must be insufficiently woke. I sensed there was something odd about your handwashing poster, but it took me fully twenty seconds to see it.
My good Squid, I had some small contact with Japanese folks once – my brief bow of politeness abides – and the students will listen politely, applaud equally politely, and leave thinking “What an Arse!” in Nipponese or whatever it is.
I sensed there was something odd about your handwashing poster, but it took me fully twenty seconds to see it.
Obviously you are “color blind” and therefore a racist, as we learned the other day. Of course had you seen it immediately that would mean you are a racist too.
That is some catch, that Catch-22.

Obviously the subject had suffered a terrible accident and got a replacement from the human organ banks.
Just misunderstood yoots … Nothing to see, move on.

Just misunderstood yoots… Meanwhile
It’s strange how these “alternatives to incarceration” never include the obvious. I mean, the kind of permanent solution that comes to mind after watching a child being robbed and gang-stomped by beings with no conscience.

What a rebel without a cause, but many daddy issues
As I’m sure I’ve said before, leftism is often bewildering unless you take into account psychology.
Prizes of note.
Also, much leftism is a status machine for those who desperately need status in order to feel good about themselves or to justify exercising power over others, according to Joe Katzman.
“…the meta-message inside political correctness is to override your own judgement, in favor of deliberately-shifting judgements from people with higher status.“

The cure for that is for conservative banker pops to cut off the hot and cold running cash taps at the main, take away the cars and what not, change the locks on the house, etc. What are the brats going to do, be mad ?
From Orwell & Goode, sound advice indeed.

One good thing about the Coronavirus is it’s enabling people throughout the world to understand what it’s like to have a hurricane off shore or a dusting of snow in Atlanta.
or a dusting of snow in Atlanta.
Heh. If I start getting angry letters, it’ll be all your fault.

That’s got to be a photoshop…even if this song did come out of Australia:

Shamelessly stolen, proper formal place setting for the 21st century.

COVID-19 Emergency Prep List:
I’m starting to think the whole COVID-19 thing is just a plot of Big Bog Roll.
Hope the BBC didn’t get charged very much for that survey.
Didn’t expect to _submit_ a response, but was just stepping through the questions to see what was being asked, and having some fun along the way. Surely at some point I would run into questions like “Do you live in the UK, and do you own a television receiver”, and then I would be bounced out of the survey. But that never happened. After the most serious question of all, about the “effects on … marginalised groups”, it was just “Thank you for your response.”
Maybe they’re still holding out for the option to tax all foreigners living abroad.
A gal this fine you gotta woo.

And the guy just calmly walks away with arms folded.
Not the first time he’s seen this act.

I’ve got pretty much of that list for my earthquake kit (plus a crank radio so batteries aren’t critical)
Just doing my normal shopping last week and, hell, WHY toilet paper?
