“This weird phenomenon.”
Is that such massive amounts of face and voice filters are needed to pretend to pass.
That’s not how you spell ‘delusion’.
I don’t know which was more damaging, the meth addiction or the sex change. Pity. It sure seemed like Ronnie Corbett had such a bright future.
Many years ago, like 30 or so, there was a travel show with an Australian (?) guy who bummed around the Pacific rim with his dog and I think on more than one occasion he took the dog scuba diving with him like this. Anyone know who that was? I hadn’t thought about him in all this time until seeing this. It was a kinda cool, quirky show. As I recall…
At the end of the video? The guy walking down the middle of the road, carrying two satchels? I think I saw that in a Tarantino film..
Nude descending.
Rubenesque?
“Can you give me your phone, please?”
So that’s what happened to Linda Hunt.
Intriguing object.
Just a bunch of cocks (cokes) hanging out.
Also try a South African with ” can’t “
Damn it, if you are locked out of Twitter for some reason, you can’t view most of the ephemera entries.
Think I’ll stick with toast.
Morning, all.
Classy establishment.
When you’re fishing for grievance, and you really do want to be a pest.
How did you manage to get locked out of Twitter? Were you hawking photos of your feet again?
I don’t think she’s as nice as she says.
She also says that she’s “not too hard to get along with.” Though I’m guessing that any hint of disagreement on that point – or on pretty much any point – would not be well received.
In other, entirely unrelated news:
His voice is perfect. 😀
‘Tis rather. Sometimes, I think, the gods laugh with us.
Nommy-nommy-nom
We’ve talked about this before. We’ve just never seen it being made. Definitely no artificial flavour there.
Am I detecting a theme in today’s ephemera?
I was reminded of a particular scene in a 2010 movie named Legion.
Jesus, that was upsetting.
It gets a bit heavy, yes, but I am glad I watched it. And Jake’s, shall we say, history is not at all uncommon among the sexually dysmorphic. It’s very common indeed.
That’s why I come to this joint – It’s always an education!
Also, in the subsequent thread, crotchless peace panties.
I thought they were going to find Pennywise down there.
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean.
[ Points to innocent face. ]
…you really do want to be a pest.
Pest? He is “hate crime ambassador” for the Sussex rozzers.
I think calling him a pest is likely to be another non-crime hate crime – best to stay away from Sussex for a spell till this cools down.
If we had better eyes the night sky would be amazing.
Yes, quite:
*It’s also about 2.5 million light years away. So don’t cancel any haircuts or dental appointments.
Andromeda: the Milky Way is huge but we are going around it once every 200 Million yrs (IIRC) so we have done a circuit 22 times or so. Wheeeeee!
Nude descending: such scenes are actually not erotic…ugh. the crazy it burns
Duh. Who wants to travel to New Jersey anyway?
Oh…
Oh, it’s much more complicated than that.
Twenty-odd years ago, we stayed in a farmhouse in a remote part of Wales, miles from anywhere. The nearest ‘village’ was basically twenty houses, a post office, and a pub. The view of the Milky Way – unobscured by city lights – was quite something.
I’m still processing the idea that Gavin Newsom is a real person.
See also.
“banned homosexuality” only in the same sense that removing sexually explicit books from school libraries is “book banning” or “censorship”
The implication is that public sex and nudity are to be legal rights.
words: what do they mean?
Either Mr Newsom is incapable of even the most elementary thinking, in which case he’s unfit for office; or he believes that shagging in public, in front of children, is somehow the very essence of being gay, in which case he’s a moral idiot and unfit for office.
Or he’s just a shameless liar hoping to deceive morons.
And is therefore unfit for office.
His voice is perfect.
That nonplussed stutter, very like Jimmy Stewart.
When you’re fishing for grievance, and you really do want to be a pest.
A male voice rings up a bank and is able to give the security answers for the account of a woman. Bank employee treats this as suspicious and/or ludicrious. Anti-hate training is required to get employees to suppress this “you can observe a lot by just looking” philosophy of security
As one who regularly subjected himself to listening to Newsom’s press conferences during covid (modeled after Cuomo’s I suppose), I have thoughts.
He LOVES the sound of his own voice. He’d start to introduce an expert-du-jour, and then ramble on endlessly, vaguely on the expert’s topic. Invariably getting most things wrong, annoying the expert, and running out the clock.
His political filters are faulty. (There’s an alternate possibility, which is that he’s playing some sort of seven-dimensional psychological manipulation game, but I think hes much too stupid to pull that off.) He’ll chat about some issue, and casually drop in a bomb, like saying “it’s true” when asked about cleaning up SF for Xi and APEC. He moves right along, and if course the “journalists” have neither the ability nor inclination to pursue the Golden news egg just laid.
He’s slick, in a way similar to Obama. No substance, but his (prepared) remarks SOUND good. If you turn your brain off.
So I think he has a great chance of being the Dem nominee. EXCEPT, thank Bog, he’s got three strikes against him right out of the box. He’s a straight (probably) White Male (also probably).
Should be fun watching the Dems infighting over the nomination.
Nah. Dude’s native. My guess is Hekawee or Fukawee.
Either way, great cheekbones.
Would that be when Sussex freezes over?
Yet the media can’t understand why they’re despised.
He’s governor of California, so . . . all of the above.
Woof.
Yet the media can’t understand why they’re despised.
This. And also dovetails well with David’s remarks on Newsom.
It’s like in south Florida years back, when some towns tried to clean up the public parks by either enforcing or creating ordinances against public sex acts and other such lewd behavior. Like the Tennessee town, is was public sex acts they were banning. Goes for all sexually-related activities involving at least one human. The local gay community was up in arms about it. and the usual “banning gays” outrage was ginned up. Except they weren’t banning gays from the parks, they were banning public sex in the park. The local gay cruising community was using the parks as hookup spots, and I guess they weren’t even trying to be discreet about it, so people complained. Nowadays the parks are probably taken over by homeless, drug addicts, and/or gangs, and no one is enforcing anything.
ComputerLabRat, same was happening around then in Orlando and iirc, same or similar objections. I recall a coworker who was unusually (for him) outspoken in his objections to the objections to the law. Pretty sure he was still ITC gay. Either way there were some awkward conversations around the office.
Lord alone knows what they’ll be offering the Obamas for Michelle’s candidacy.
My prediction – Creepy Joe suffers a serious, but sadly not life-threating medical emergency forcing his retirement about a week before the official nomination.
I don’t know who banned homosexuality in this small town but Murfreesboro Tennessee has been enriched by Muslims for many years now. This sounds more like what’s happening in Michigan then white rednecks flexing which is who the media wants it to be
I think Alby Mangels is the guy you’re thinking of.
Back to lurking!
Not sure. Looking that name/face up on wiki, he seems rather normal-ish. The guy I’m remembering seemed a bit more rough-around-the-edges and leathery, iykwim. I’m thinking someone likely born in the 50’s, more weathered-hippie. I could be misremembering though. Thanks.
Ah ok. We had a couple of other types at the time like Malcolm Douglas and Harry Butler. Although they were more professional in approach. Alby always came across as a dimwit with a camera, although that was no doubt part of his act.
