Friday Ephemera (790)
And lo, his chakra was awakened. || He’s their king now. || With utmost care. || Drinking coffee from a cup made of coffee. || How to repel customers. || Hey, ladies. || Hot and lumpy. || A project for the weekend – requires patience and a jumping spider. || She calculates your privilege in the fat hierarchy. || Pizza bubbles. || Biblical angels. || Giger’s Alien. || He loves it, you know. || Scholarship, you say. || Claim, counterclaim, indignation. || Godliness detected. || Hey, kids, meet the switched-on bishop and her crew. || “A beautiful woman by day, a lusting queen wasp by night.” || Nommy-nommy-nom. || Neighbourliness. || I did not know that. || Unseen sitter, 2:30 am. || Fitness regime. || He’ll fit right in and flourish, I’m sure. || And finally, as a dentist, she doesn’t have to obey the law.

As I’ve said before, the reality series Cops was eye-widening in this regard. And the behaviour of the people that the police encounter can, to the civilised, seem bewildering and surreal.
I’d guess that few people here are accustomed to, for instance, scenes such as this. I don’t live among people who would behave in such a way, and, unremarkably, wouldn’t care to. But I’ve learned to bear in mind that such creatures do exist. And that our minds, mine and theirs, are not at all alike.
Yo Mama so funky, she used Secret…and it told.
While rummaging in some boxes in a closet, I recently unearthed a handful of cassette mixtapes and demos and whatnot from thirty-odd years ago. Now toying with the idea of ordering from Amazon one of those cheap Walkman-style cassette players that can copy old crap into a digital format. Not sure whether the results will be amusing or mortifying.
I’ve given up on trying to keep up with format changes. For a long time, I just kept the old technology players but it’s gotten to be too much.
Somewhere, underneath tubes of Christmas wrapping paper and some tins of paint, we have a crate of 12″ singles. Haven’t owned a turntable since 1994.
For David:
Man, this dude is funkier than 19 yards of chitlins’ with onions and sardines on the side . . . now, THAT’S funky!
Vinyl is all the rage again. You get to spend $60 for an album that cost $5.99 when it was released. I dumped my vinyl the first time my wife and I moved and now my son is spending a fortune on acquiring it.
Yo Mama so funky she make onions cry.
I am going to hell for laughing at this.
[ Muffled chuckling from The Other Half. ]
By the way, tonight’s X-Files rewatch after thirty-odd years will, I’m told, be Ice.
I dumped everything except a few that are not available in CD or download form.
The longer you look at it, the worse it gets.
The wide eyes and ruddy face aren’t exactly helping.

And the soo-not-funky redneck wypipo version of that would be …
A little something I ran across in my photo archives. Government work…
Exactly how big are you?
That’s an actual game..sorta. Used to play it at Easter time when I was a wee seeding. Kinda forgot about it. I think it was called something like Switz-und-switz. Or some German sounding thing.
I am One with The Spirit. I am Everywhere.
As the actress said to the bishop.
batman water pistol: reminds me of the playground thing, an elephant kids climb up into, and the slide to exit goes out his posterior. hahaha
Technically, spiderman should shoot web out his butt, you know, for realism.
Petition for women-only tube carriages
Why not migrant-free cities?
Petition for women-only tube carriages
Whereupon the usual suspects will say they are women and, being a preferred protected class, not a damn thing will change.
Women only tube carriages: there was a reason for the patriarchy, to protect women and children. You brits have now made it illegal to come to the defense of the defenseless, even prosecuting a girl who stabbed her attempted rapist. FFS what did you think would happen? Britain was never so civilized that self-defense was never needed, and even more so now.
They’re still French.
And if a Muslim man puts on a burka, how can you tell?
Or any man. Recall the murder of police officer Stephen Liczbinski by three burka-clad bank robbers, Howard Cain, Eric DeShann Floyd, and Levon T. Warner.
That reminds me: Anybody recall some controversy in the 1990’s (in Florida?) in which libertarians were siding with Muslims who did not want to be required to remove burkas or other face coverings for driver’s license photos.
@David: Happy Saint Crispin’s Day.
On this day it is acceptable to eat French food: Plunder from their defeated army.
My apologies for using a Gateway Pundit link. I forgot that the site is notorious for pop-up ads and other debris.
The Feminization of Society: Threat or Menace?
That’s the way to do it!
And?
They needed to economize by designing ONE SIGN that they could use in four places, see.
They have those in Japan because Japanese men are as perverted as everyone else.
On rolling dice.
As someone notes in reply, “A lot of what’s being described as fascism right now is just the practical reality of reversing bad policy.”
Derivative, bit rushed. It’s a little distracting when the influences are so obvious and clunky. It was season one, after all.
I’d forgotten there was a comic book. Or rather, a handful of irregular ‘adventures’.
Question asked.
Learned something new today.
This place is a nourishing broth.
The Other Half is watching a YouTube video about car customisation. One of the terms used was titanium lugnuts.
Band name.
Heh. The real stupid part is that iirc they didn’t put the other signs up for quite some time. Only after they fixed that one, and that one was like that for years. Three or four at least. What would really bug me about it when going past it on our walks was how many different people had to see that mistake and did nothing to correct it. The original designer, whoever approved it, the sign shop that accepted it, the person(s) who produced it, the several guys who installed it. Nobody cared to ask the bloody obvious question.
Pumpkins are now racist.
Speaking of bishops…well, popes…in my unsolicited google news that I get with every even unsolicited browser tab, I see that Pope Leo is kinda sorta maybe open to letting his flock worship in the manner that they traditionally have done. The absurdities continue..
And in other fragrant multiculturalism news.
Today’s words are things to come.
Footnote to the above.
Laughed, not sorry.
Rage bait? Or is she really that abysmally stupid?
Simon Webb recently said that Muslims are abandoning the Labour Party in favor of purely Islamist groups, in spite of Kier Starmer’s appeasement efforts. I am reminded (again) of what Muslims did to Marxists after the overthrowing the Shah of Iran.
