Friday Ephemera (780)
All the fun of the fair. || A ride to remember. || Batman in a jam. || Her eyelash curler broke and her underwear keeps going missing. || “Mom, guess what?” || He wants to talk about greed. || Game over. || Incoming. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || The engineering of Mount Rushmore. || Just checking what you are. || Variation on a theme. || Very modern moral problems. || Novelty evaporates. || I remember seeing this one here well into the 80s. || Bag athleticism. || When you have a bedlamite infestation. || Because her big day was all about him. || I renounce the devil and all his works. || Yes, but how hard? || She doesn’t want the rubber room. || She’s not going to take it any more. || Tree house. || Truck life. || Replacing lost fingers with grafted toes. || And for seekers of challenge, I bring sex-toy news.

Why women live longer than men
If she’d stop wadding it up . . .
Green Dragon Climbs Hill?
Solution in search of a problem.
[ wine cork breaks in half. ]
Always keep a clean empty wine bottle for “emergencies”.
Let the auto-da-fe begin!
Explains the permitting process.
The perp
liveddied up to his name.She says something like “remember the good old days when a man could raise a family on minimum wage and have a second family housed, fed and raised”
What flippin’ fantasy past is she dreaming about? No man could raise a family on “minimum wage” in the past. None, nada. That’s why in one-income families, the man had marketable skills beyond digging ditches or bussing tables.
This whiner with her metal boogers should actually talk to some old folk instead of pretending she knows anything older than the curdled milk in her [shared] frig.
Nope, gonna go to bed and read it all in the morning. Just leaving a bookmark here for tomorrow.
It’s because women nag men to death.
A fantasy shared by a great many “progressives”, sadly enough.
Heartbreaking situation. Seems likely to lead to a permanent break, but a break is less bad than participating in lies.
Gad Saad entertainingly pokes fun at Neil deGrasse Tyson’s gender bullshit
from the clip:
Neil, in spite of being a Supreme Arbiter of Truth in All Matters, is unaware that when the Founders wrote about “pursuit of happiness” they did not mean pursuit of joy or pleasure, but rather pursuit of the fulfillment of one’s God-given potential. This was in reaction to the aristocratic systems in Old Europe where peasants had no such right but were locked into their social class.
Also:
Tyson:
Good Lord, what a slimy toad.
Saad responds:
“a worm, with very few exceptions, is not a human being.”
–Young Frankenstein
The consensus seems to be that one of her roommates is stealing and selling her underwear online to pay their share of the rent. The offered solution is for her to sell her own underwear first to cover the rent. You can’t argue with the logic.
Jack looks remarkably like Keir Starmer. Only I doubt Starmer’s ability to go into 7-11 by himself.
Will that get me jail time in the UK?
I question his ability to find his way out.
Now I can keep you company in that nice UK gulag.
Your High School yearbook David?
Brings back memories of the all-you-can-eat salad bar at Pizza Hut.
Germany, I think.
The WNBA could not be reached for comment.
“She’s not going to take it any more“
To be fair, she does look like someone intimately familiar with blackouts.
I’m having a Saturday mornings flashback.
Morning, all.
But imagine being a wee seedling and being taken to a barber’s shop – and you see that thing on the wall, as if you have to choose one of them or they won’t let you leave.
GIGANTIC REVERSING BELLOWS.
For reference purposes.
Paintballs were deployed.
[ Slurps coffee. ]
When the local council finds time and manpower to paint over residents’ graffiti complaining about dangerous and neglected potholes in the road, which have been reported and complained about for two years, but not to fix the actual potholes.
Captures something of our times, I think.
But no work is taking place on the potholes… 🤦
The council has found time and resources to “celebrate diversity,” to lecture the local population on “Pride” and the importance of being an “LGBTQ ally,” and to teach non-Muhammadan residents about Eid al-Adha. The familiar, now-default menu of wearying niche irrelevance.
But basic road maintenance? Two years, mate.
Inasmuch as the WNBA’s ball handling is sub-par, I’m shocked they didn’t have a strong endorsement.
Better phone for the ambulance *before* you use it.
I’m still trying to fathom the, er, logistics of the thing.
Further to this unhappy scene, an update.
One rule for thee, it seems.
Readers may wish to devise suitable moral consequences for the judge in question.
A ride to remember.
No. Sedate me into unconciousness and fly in the Coast Guard. While I enjoy roller coasters, my fear of heights would paralyze me.
She’s not going to take it any more.
Not doing anything on Blackout Day. On a Sunday. Sounds like my normal.
The joys of public transport.
More joys of public transport.
Street scenes.
She skipped over the interesting bit.
Sauce for the goose?
All animals are equal . . . but some animals are more equal than others.
Ball handling.
Standard lesbian dogma: penis-shaped dildos are hetero-sexist and no true lesbian would consent to use one. Radical lesbian dogma: All dildos are hetero-sexist no matter their shape. Watching the lesbians argue back in the 70’s and 80’s was very entertaining.
A country in which the national flag is deemed problematic, something to be removed lest it cause offence, is not heading anywhere good.
In case that needs saying.
“Are you ready to be initiated as a High Priestess, High Priest or High Mage” at the Christian Witches Mystery School.*
Who could say no? Only $239.98 (name embroidery extra) at the CWMS emporium!
In other parts unknown, a bold new TicTak Challenge – fun for the whole family!
*(yes, band name)
Those who deem it problematic should be sent somewhere that is “not good”.
Hanging, drawing, & quartering is a time-honoured punishment.
