Not ball, rock. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || On bats and regurgitation. || Tidy, yes, but tricky to remove. || In case of fire. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || Nommy-nommy-nom 2. || So how was your day? || Wiggling. || When they do this, I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to break their ankles. || Alum. || Last days of the Cavendish Hotel, 1962. || Yes, but does he look girly, girly? || I quite like the idea of Delusion Visibility Day. || She wants to talk about her manhood. || Door policy. || For enthusiasts of toilet plunging. || Kiddie pool pervert meets police. || The progressive retail experience, parts 716, 717, 718, 719 and 720. || Companion, at height. || Suboptimal scenario. || Chernobyl fungus. || Not our finest offering. || Expensive stuff. || Hyphen needed. || And finally, they’re anti-fatigue lasers.

In the interests of equity, switching from perfidious France to Australia.
No, their necks.
Note how the delusional pervert addresses the woman as “my love”.
If I wasn’t a milkmaid I wouldn’t be here. Fire one…
Sensurround weighs in.
No clue what it all means.

Would take that challenge.
Oh, that’s a timeline cleanser!
Next: anti-fatigue Ecstasy pills.
That park was full of mums, if there had been a few fathers there, no need to bother the cops.
Morning, all.
And always count your fingers.
The pigtails are an interesting choice.
One might say revealing.
Start with the big ones in the middle.
You’ve given this some thought, I see.
Sorry not sorry.
For those who missed it in the previous thread. Action scenes.
Because a lot can happen in 14 seconds.
It’s not the most convincing use of the word.
I’m not unsympathetic to this idea.
“Your sarcasm is showing – and its history is surprisingly violent”
I read the thing and – given the headline – assumed that a big chunk of the article must be missing. I can’t see any actual “violence,” beyond some entirely metaphorical wounding. Despite the claim of violence being the premise of the article and used very deliberately in the headline. The nearest I can find is this:
Which would stretch the definition of violence to absurdity.
But hey, NPR.
I’m just going to leave this here.
Oh don’t look all innocent. You know why.
And finally, they’re anti-fatigue lasers.
Before I clicked on the link, I envisioned lasers that could be employed against the sources of fatigue, namely those seen in the progressive retail experience series. Which makes me think, could that be a product? Instead of, say, pepper spray, a handheld laser to blind temporarily an assailant or an undesired looter?
I must look into this . . .
Enrichment!
Door policy.
Those terms are acceptable. Any private establishment should be able to say [fill in the blank] only.
I find your ideas compelling and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Both equally satisfying.
Observation: Densely packed mobs of rioters and looters are just made for sustained automatic weapons fire.
Spay and neuter.
Context for the second item, a longer video, can be found here. I should add that the context doesn’t make the thief any more endearing. Quite the opposite.
I will, however, draw attention to the actual victim’s hesitation, her not wanting to be a bother for the police officer, as if punishing such behaviour would be self-indulgent or too much to ask.
Rather than how a functional society should be, and needs to be.
Always. Press. Charges.
I’d suggest that the reluctance or hesitation to punish criminality – to do what is needed – is a defining vice of our time. Whether it takes the form of practised resignation, an expectation of futility, or the pernicious belief that punishing wrongdoing somehow makes you a bad person.
Which is worse, the lack of shame or the lack of gratitude?
Is Pink Floyd far behind?
By which I mean, the absurd denial, the rather prim indignation and the utter lack of shame, despite being shown footage of the pilfering.
Her daring to act scandalised on hearing that her thieving has consequences.
Though I did laugh at the indignant protest, after madam has been shown footage of her own repeated thieving, “You’re treating me like a criminal…”
Is it really a long jump from silicone to actual skin?
The former shouldn’t require as much lotion.
Water park: notice how the women are “sorry” they had to call cops, and unsure if they are right.
High voltage: whatever they are paying him, it isn’t enough.
You seem to know a lot about this subject.
Hey, I’m just sayin’.
[ Open Aelf’s file, adds suspected deviant. ]
Apparently, madam – Ms Elaine Ann Fagan Earlywine – is a regular of St Peter’s Episcopal Church, Morristown, New Jersey, and is on the board of a non-profit. Judging by her other activities – including, it seems, horse ownership – she doesn’t seem short of a bob.
Objection.
Suspected?
I THINK I SHALL HAVE PIZZA FOR TEA.
#SharingAndCaring
How Dickensian.
Won’t it get soggy?
As in evening meal.
[ Begins countdown to store-bought pizza titivation. ]
I think you’re some kinda deviated prevert. I think
General RipperDavid found out about your preversion, and that you were organizin’ some kinda mutiny of preverts!Alum
That’s going to chafe
Not unheard of: recreational theft by the well-to-do.
Many years ago, two of the founding partners of the company I worked for liked to steal things from restaurants, not because they were beautiful or valuable or unobtainable but because it was fun. The most absurdly ordinary item was a simple desk telephone.
[ Retrieves suspected deviants notebook. ]
What sort of titivation?
