Mashed Potatoes And Gravy
I gather today is some kind of national holiday over yonder, beyond the sea. I shall therefore wish American readers a jolly time. I’ll also share an educational lecture on the topic by Professor James O’Flannery:
Among Professor O’Flannery’s other lectures is this one, on the Chinese Revolution, and which I strongly recommend.
Also, open thread.
As grandaddy Walmart lovingly explained to us – wild food is dangerous and poisonous. You should only eat food that has been carefully processed by expert nutritionazis at your local global mega-store to render it safe and effective for your consumption.
I suspect the bacon is doing the heavy lifting there.
Maybe so, though the faint hint of urine is the real coup de greâse.
Chafing issues.

Terrorist attack or just some good ol’ boys, never meaning no harm?
Neither, hardware chain-store owning couple in their 60’s headed to the KISS concert in Toronto. Some reports are saying health issues (epileptic fit) caused the crazy acceleration. Car was a $300,000 Bentley.
Oh, and the concert had already been canceled because Paul Stanley has the flu.
Neither, hardware chain-store owning couple in their 60’s headed to the KISS concert in Toronto. Etc, etc,$300k Bentley, yadda-yadda-yadda, Paul Stanley has the flu (he’s still alive, who knew?). And I’m supposed to believe this…[checks msm sources]…AYFKM…sigh. I tell myself…over and over and over again…not to believe such things at face value. An unexpectedly large part of my twilight(?) years are increasingly being consumed spending time verifying absurdities. I didn’t budget for this…
Chafing issues.
Why indeed?
I didn’t budget for this…
As our host would say, no refunds, credit note only.
(he’s still alive, who knew?)
Apparently, barely. He can’t even make through the band’s farewell tour.

I dunno – us dinosaur XX ladypersons don’t have any balls. It’s only those newfangled XY women who have those issues.
Men dressed as women who ask that kind of question are getting off on socially-sanctioned domination.
And I’m supposed to believe this
As Twain wrote, truth is stranger than ficiton because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; the truth ain’t.
Apparently several hundred Bentleys have already been recalled due to a stuck accelerator defect, and a modern Bentley isn’t a stately luxury car. It’s a 700HP German sports saloon in a top hat and monocle. As bizarre as it all sounds, it does actually add up.
In a sense, in Twain’s day, somewhat yes. In this case, definitely. To be clear I don’t buy into whatever conspiracy theories this story has generated nor is likely to generate. Having once been the victim of a stuck accelerator, they do happen. And on such a car it would not surprise me. Not that I know anything about Bentleys specifically but I do carry a suspicion about complicated machines that, while they may be somewhat mass produced, a Bentley hits that sweet spot where serious problems can slip through.
Plus with the general demise of all of our institutions I think we need to brace ourselves for significant technological failures like these (assuming this is what it actually turns out to be) popping up more frequently.
Many thanks to you from across the pond, Mr. Thompson.
We can’t thank you enough for your willingness to share our video on The First Thanksgiving.
We hope your readers enjoyed our work!
