Invasion by any other name …
Act of war.
Yeah…umm…about that inhaler…you really don’t wanna…probably too late now…never mind.
Nah. Act of surrender. Heh. Spain isn’t but two weeks away from winning the World Cup and already they’re being humiliated. I have a friend, probably former friend at this point, who moved to Javea a year or so ago. She’s been oddly quiet lately.
aelf, David’s is roughly in the area of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callahan%27s_Crosstime_Saloon
and for the same reason (i.e. the … clientele)
You wouldn’t think the contents of an inhaler could taste so vividly of feet.
Grab the wrong medicament?
[ Slides inhaler to Aelf. ]
[ Washes hands thoroughly. ]
Most effective masking agent available for…well, you don’t really want to know.
Best to wash all the way up to the elbows. Or so the doctor said.
[ Vlad Tepes raises his hand. ]
I recommend shooting the offenders on sight.
And sustained automatic weapons fire at the border.
Not to mention his Lair of Evil: Still searching the UK for the volcano.
Wondering if Katy Perry is still inside that enormous plastic bottle.
Is it possible they rolled her into the sea?
I ask out of concern, obviously.
Not seeing any women or children.
Sure you could, if the previous user committed so many faux pas that now he knows the shoe size of his mouth.
[ Fetches stick, pushes inhaler towards Alex. ]
Today’s words are booty and plunder.
No reason.
Maybe she was drinking because she’s “so fucking stressed out from running her lounge lizard Instagram account.” 😀
Is today’s other word ‘predictable’?
A search of the vehicle turned up an empty White Claw can and an empty Tito’s vodka shooter.
DUI or not, she should be under the jail for drinking either of those.
Nope. A lot of men without hats, tho.
If you count across your knuckles and dips from left to right, you’ll see that each knuckle represents a month with 31 days in them. The dip between the knuckles represent 30 (or less for Feb.)
You’re welcome.
Is that an accidental mashup of “under lock and key” and “in jail”?
Under the jail implies something very terminal. 😀
No, there are some things so egregious a cell is not enough.
Being a drunken bimbo single mom who pretends to be a dating expert?
No, though that would put a dent in the AWFL demographic.
Was it this?
It’s them, Yogi.
What is it with black man violently kidnapping white children? This is the second incident reported in the last few weeks.
New York Senate reparations monkey demands freebies.
Predictable: Another rapist is a Moroccan.
“But if we deport them the terrorists win” say the libtards:
Deport them all.
Also, wtf with y’all dipping your beaks in our Power Ball pool? Not that I care all that much but this seemed to have slipped suspiciously under the radar.
Speaking of blacks kidnapping and killing young white children…
[ Recalls famous case of “he needed killing when the courts failed to do their job”. ]
He has a violent history.
He has a violent genotype.
Not all blacks are morons and thugs, but that’s the safe and prudent way to bet.
Blacks in America tend to be stupid and violent.
Blacks in the UK tend to be stupid and violent.
Blacks in Europe tend to be stupid and violent.
Do I detect a pattern?
Suggestion for an sf novel: Takes place 500 years from now. Casually alludes to Africa still being a land of savagery where the only instances of modern civilization are enclaves run by Europeans and Asians.
I see Spain is being rendered vibrant and diverse.
How about “vibrant” solutions to African barbarism? Machine guns, minefields, etc.
Make that African and Muslim.
Lovely! Of course, prior to Pink Panther and one of my parents’ LPs that I loved.
[goes to fix a chilled, dry, gin martini — three olives]
WADDAYA MEAN WE CAN’T FEED THE BIRDS TUPPENCE A BAG?
Nope. But keep trying. You know you want to win that inhaler.
Not wrong.
I’m sure the situation will improve on its own, spontaneously, leading to no further degradation of any kind.
Because, hey, sharing and caring, right?
And clearly, they’re stoning the lawful residents with rocks of affection. And those are fires of neighbourliness.
It’s all one big expression of gratitude.
Niche business project: musical portraits of pets.
This one is quite decent.
Well, only because the CDC keeps asking me where it is. They can be annoyingly persistent. More so than usual with this one.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own.
Comments that-a-way.

Bingo.
“Apparently this was quite normal”.
Um. Yeah? Geez, I’m only 55, man. Why is the Britain of my youth being treated like obscure anthropology?
Providing the warmth of collectivism?
