Oh, and a reminder that I now have a Gettr account.
In entertainment news, an inauspicious maiden voyage:

Another robot bartender:
“Thank you,” Foyle said.
“My pleasure, sir,” the robot replied and awaited its next cue.
“Nice day,” Foyle remarked.
“Always a lovely day somewhere, sir,” the robot beamed.
“Awful day,” Foyle said.
“Always a lovely day somewhere, sir,” the robot responded.
“Day,” Foyle said.
“Always a lovely day somewhere, sir,” the robot said.
…
He has a theory, ladies.
Guess his ulterior motive.
And finally, for the sleepy kiddies, there are goblins lurking under the bed.
Got goblins? For a small fee, Susan Sto-Helit will loan you the poker.
An inauspicious maiden voyage.
Nerdrotic noticed it as well.
G4 based their comeback on 1984.
I bring you art
I’m not clicking on that. I know how this ends.
The tardigrade’s toes
They’re not even trying to hide the grift now.
Calculated provocation? After School Satan Club at elementary school in Moline, Illinois.
Military Career Model
Uh-oh: liberal talking point about recidivism rates turns out to be…inaccurate.
I just can’t understand how unprincipled, ideologically driven “journalists” could have failed to notice that the Norwegian and American data were fundamentally different. It’s a total mystery.
Babe detected
Will now spend the rest of the morning bleaching my eyes.
Porch thieves? Pffffft Amateurs.
Gonna disco up the mountain
“Strange dog.”
And you CAN eat what it lays on the drive!
The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders.
“37% of orders were mistaken, but 99% of customers said they were happy.”
🙂
And you CAN eat what it lays on the drive!
[ Fetches Julia’s coat, box of matches. ]
Morning, all.
Phantom nipples.
Looks like buyer’s remorse.
Robotic bartender
It’s good to know retired factory workers aren’t just thrown on the scrap heap.
Although I did notice the customers keeping a safe distance from a machine one programming error from pushing a beer bottle in your ear blunt end first.
Ann-Margret with the conceptual fail.
(Marilyn Bergman, who shared the Oscar for writing the lyrics to “The Way We Were”, died last week, which is how I found this video looking for a clip of her at the Oscars. I didn’t expect Ann-Margret like this.)
Gonna disco up the mountain
Totally not gay disco, not gay at all
When the day just keeps getting worse.
That’s hilarious. I commend her dedication. She must be very popular.
not gay at all.
G4 based their comeback on 1984.
It is enough of a spectacle when a show, network, streamer, etcetera goes off the rails after some years of building an audience. It is something else to see the journey to train wreck town occur as a quarter-mile drag race.
Looks like buyer’s remorse.
No refunds, no credit note, no return.
That’s hilarious.
I recall a buddy of mine leaving the dentist’s office after having his wisdom teeth out, and spending much of his drive home in a spirited argument with the air freshener hanging from his rear view mirror.
Phantom nipples.
Two words, “nipple sparing mastectomy”, but that is what you get when you go to Crazy Eddies Discount Surgi-Centr “His Prices Are Insane!”.
Meanwhile in TV land, as predictable as the sunrise, a reboot just like the original. Name.
But my proposal is quite modest…
But my proposal is quite modest…
The inversion of reality kicks in early, I see.
Meanwhile in TV land, as predictable as the sunrise, a reboot just like the original.
Just as predictable: publicity describing the show as “bold”.
Interesting Led Zeppelin cover.
|| You can’t go far wrong with accelerated penguins. ||
Interesting Led Zeppelin cover.
Ok that was awesome. I love this place.
When the day just keeps getting worse.
Still the best…

When the day just keeps getting worse.
It’s a hard life, being a drug addict.

Restaurant of Mistaken Orders: “We are getting more and more queries from local government….”
Oh, oh!
Nerdrotic: “It’s been 8 years, and seems like it.”
A minute and half felt like 8 years to me.
But my proposal is quite modest…
Swift’s modest proposal was, in many ways, kinder.

I have a modest proposal regarding leftists.
Even Tardigrades are sexually dimorphic.
That demonstrates how primitive and unevolved straight men are after all!
Well, it must’ve rattled loose.
In my youth, I worked at a tire shop. I never worked on anything that big, but I did help install and mount a tractor tire that was six feet tall and weighed several hundred pounds. They fill the tires with a solution of calcium chloride to add ballast to the tractor and help maintain the tire pressure. It was back breaking work. I was happy to go pack to the passenger tire side of the business.
I have a modest proposal regarding leftists.
Remember to treat them like kale, not like meat. You gotta cook the bitterness out or they’re nigh inedible.
Today’s round of “What About…?”
Norway incarcerates people for speeding.
Oh yeah? Well, what about Australia? They incarcerate people for entering the country legally!
to go pack
…to go back…
Propaganda showing signs of desperation? Wearing a facemask makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, study finds.
Re: that G4 … thing.
I got as far as the night vision (?) video clip.
I had to look away. (I know, I know ” he’s So sensitive, poor soul. “)
I used to imagine the the problems in the US might be due to the inability of many to advance beyond University.
Now I’m confronted with many “adults” who are stuck in middle school. FFS.
Anyway…
So, Squires, you owe me for that torture. And…I want…a Bar Snack!
No! TWO Bar Snacks! A little one here, and a big one there! With a cute little path running between them!
Aahh! [Runs out the door into the alley.]
On a lighter note, I’m now almost done with my cardiac rehab program, after 33 sessions. The crew there has been absolutely professional. Perhaps there is hope for the country after all😁
Supply chain problems, do have solutions.
Wearing a facemask makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, study finds.
Makes one yearn for the old days. Closing time at the bar, limited prospects–mostly double baggers–but you came prepared with a supply of bags in the car. One for her and one for you in case hers falls off.
|| I bring you art. ||
I know this one! She’s tortured…er…enriched…us all at this very fine establishment, several times in the past. To this day I cannot unsee the bending over, sweaty feet squeaky shoes, and shrubbery; it haunts me still. I know, no refund, credit note only.
I have no idea what horror she is attempting with the bell jar over her head but I’m not clicking. It could be highly innocuous – I am not taking the chance.
[digs in heels, refusing cultural enrichment]
To this day I cannot unsee the bending over, sweaty feet squeaky shoes, and shrubbery;
Relive the dream.
Wearing a facemask makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, study finds.
If the headline read “Residents of Cardiff look better with their faces covered up,” it would be so uncontroversial as to be forgotten.
“At last, a robotic bartender.”
Needs work on the appearance. I was expecting something a bit more… gynoid.
“Babe detected.”

“The tardigrade’s toes”
“This episode is sponsored by Wren, a website where you calculate your carbon emissions.”
Yeeeaah. No.
“An inauspicious maiden voyage.”
I’ve been playing videogames since the late 1970s, and as far as I knew until today, G4 was “down the road a bit”. Doesn’t look like I’ve missed much.
Speaking of games, this seems straightforward enough…
“Wearing a facemask makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, study finds.”
I saw that somewhere else.
First thought: My Freddie Krueger mask didn’t help me *at all*, last New Year’s Eve.
Second thought: 43 women… 43. Possibly looking for the safest space.
Seriously, for this ‘study’ to have any value, there would need to be controls on the type of mask, as a minimum. Generic, Nike logo, camouflage? Sure going to be difficult to do that with 43 subjects.
Upon rereading the article, I see that the study referred to above did try two types of mask. Surgical was the most appealing. Still, 43 subjects.
So I’m going with ‘safe spaces’.
