In briefly, so thought I'd say hello.
Hello.
Finished watching Man in the High Castle tonight. Not to give away any spoilers, but... ptthhhbbbbbthhhh!
Now to see what Maet has graced us with tonight. Gotta be more conclusively satisfying. Looks big & beefy.
Wayne Allen Sallee - Xxxenophile, I think. Another well-illustrated and fun bit of perversity.
Ross, Nice work combining grass skirts!
I might now suggest you have an Omaha-Cherry crossover, but since it could not possibly be as innocent as the Archie and Bill the Cat covers... probably just leave that one to imagination. Not that I would ever imagine, uh, never mind...
Bluebird! Hi! Life... got busy... and I had to neglect most of my usual haunts for a while, including BoBblog. So, skipping the comments, I just marched through the posts since October. Lots of fun. Going to try to stay caught up again. Even though life is still... busy.
Hitler's Action T4: Hey, they even sort of acknowledge us in "The Man in High Castle"...
And the theme recurs in ep8, latest one we watched.
I keep thinking, "Life under Obamacare." Or ISIScare. Lots of similar jaded reflections while watching the show...! 
free range jihadist: ...Enough loose ends for another season or three.
Aw, no, really? Can't anybody just tell a complete story anymore?
Moral... or is it ethical?... question for this immoral lot:
Is it wrong if I download a bootleg of a show to which I have free access anyway (to avoid streaming)?
Completely unrelatedly, we have two episodes left of Man in the High Castle. Intriguing. Hope the ending isn't a let down... or, worse, "to be continued in the sequel"!
A coalition between ISIS and Planned Parenthood...?

Seamus, enjoying the diary serialization, and your occasional expansion/clarifiations.
Not going to link story, just wanted to enter this headline as another exhibit in the decay of our civilization:

Taylor is some kind of pop entertainer, I've gathered. Don't know, don't care, but did find this photo amusing, anyway:

Bruce With a Wang! beats me to the Paris attacker story. The competition gets hot around here, when Vic doesn't deliver.
40yo Paris kindergarten teacher stabbed in the neck at school by a hooded man "allegedly claiming to be acting in the name of ISIS." Attacker ran off. Teacher not thought to be in a life threatening condition.

J.J. Sefton: Today would have been by dad's 91st birthday. I miss that old boy.
Dad would've been 98 in two days. Never got to know him well enough. He died at just past 50, from alcohol, cigs, bad marriages, anger, and stress - at least one or more of the above.
Happy holidays!

My favorite cat was wander'ng 'round,
With the most obnoxious mews,
So angry, I'm up and dressed,
And there's not even any Vic News!
--Burma Shove
Did somebody say somebody's starting to start something, maybe?
Whoa! Time for me to head for the exit.
Seriously, I just realized, if I don't log off, I can't go to bed, and if I can't go to bed, then I can't get to sleep, and if I don't get to sleep, I won't wake up in the morning, and if I don't wake up in the morning, I can't have breakfast while reading Vic's newsbits. So...
Good night, Gracies.
HHHeeey! I made the Top 10 Socks list for the first time in ages!
Heh. I change my nic's tag line on every comment, and I've made lots more than 30 comments in the past week, I'd think, but the variable IP on my cell probably masks that most of the time. (Presuming I have any idea how the list is counted.)
O, Glorious fifteen seconds of fame!
Overthread Open Night! Mowdy, Horons!
I've taken LySDexia but it shousn't do, write?
(Obviously, I've got nothing. Now to read content.)
I get caught up on book comments, and I check and, yeah, elbows thread is up, of course.
Not supposed to mean the book thread expired, of course, but, called the Horde for a reason.
I'd just like to throw out Amazon links - I've mentioned before - to books by my brother-in-law Jack, including his work collecting stories and diaries with my late mother-in-law, and my late brother-in-law Vince. For your Christmas shopping for yourself and others.

Jack Clark's books
http://bit.ly/jack-clark
JACK CLARK's first novel WESTERFIELD'S CHAIN was a Shamus Award finalist. The Chicago Tribune called it "The best mystery of the month... A pure delight for many reasons, not the least of which is the way Jack Clark celebrates and rings a few changes on the familiar private eye script. . . There's a memorable moment [on] virtually every page."

The links should all include the bit which credits back to Ace, if I did it right.
Morning, Glories! I missed the whole morning thread. Slowly plowing through the book comments now.
Bandersnatch: I believe that some of you are missing the true import of Roots. Boobies on network television! (Hey, if you were the right age when it came out that was important).
Hm. I must've been too old by then to remain impressed by that part...! (Checks iMDB) Roots (tv) was in 1977? I thought it was much earlier. If that's right, I was not only well past my boob-seeking adolescence and already living with Milady Webworker by then.
The big takeaway I remember from the Roots show was the oral history of the African village, still recalling Haley's ancestor's kidnapping, generations later when Haley went there.
All BS, I must now suppose, but I remain impressed with the pre-literate practice of preserving history with oral tradition, stories and songs, with very little change over long generations. Fake but accurate for realz?
MH: Mindful I don't mind you calling bullshiter on me.
Uhh... eh? So much for my attempt at subtle weird humor?
Goooood night, Gracies ^ 2
