Offsite Comments

Have to log out and get on with the day.

Kinda forgot what it takes to keep up & participate.

I'll try again tomorrow. Practice makes prefect.

Life's too short
to wear bad socks
or reset clocks

I have not gone Win10 yet, but I did bookmark these suggestions from commenters here, in case they might help.

TFG: "easier in too many neighborhoods for a young person to purchase a gun than a book"

Only because books require literacy and interest in reading.

The Guns & Books Mart, coming soon to a hood near you.

FenelonSpoke: I do hope you're not getting abused.

"Fair share of abuse" was a Stones lyric, ICYMI.

Of course, I was just kidding. Thanks to strict enforcement of Ace's new policy, the horde debate is strictly by-the-book intellectualizing, and none would ever think to engage in personal slights.

Sorry. Choked on my coffee.

Stringer Davis: Wow MW, rhyming "good" with "unglued" is right out of Thomas Malory...

heh. I played around with alternate spellings, but none of them looked gewd enough.

Pets are fed. Coffee's brewed.
Have some time. Thread is nood.
Haven't yet come unglued.
Could be worse. Life is good. (!)

FenelonSpoke from last thread: missed you.

I've lurked off and on when I could, but it just isn't the same without diving in and getting my "fair share of abuse." Congratulations, FS, on your new criminal career. I had no idea.

Looks like autumn to me.

Morning, Glories! Cool and drizzly in NE OK this AM. Looks like a Halloween week ought to look.

Just finished catching up on the Vic News and wanted to wave hello before the next thread came along.

Been getting to bed early but sleeping late, which makes for good rest, but only half qualifies me for healthy, wealthy and wise. Makes participating in the morning thread harder too, as I spend what little time I have just reading the healthy wealthy wisdom of the commentariat here.

But in a couple of days, everybody else will return the clocks to God's time but my schedule will not change. Haven't had coffee yet, but I think that means I'll have an hour advantage on the morning.

Going to read the rest of the comments now. Think I'll read from both ends to the middle. That should be interesting!

Ooops. Pets demand feeding first. Bye.

*waves to Carol*

Oh, back to Maet and the quotes thing. Words words words

Well, we had a good run.

KEED!

Welcome back. I'm in with Sonny Bunch quote!

Happiness runs in a circular motion.
Love is like a little boat upon the...
waters of the sea of China...

Good night, Gracies!

(Skipping comments in order to comment - tradition!)

Howdy, y'all.

Just had to chime in because... Milady & I are paused, about 33 minutes into our umpteenth watching of...

Galaxy Quest

...when I tuned in to read Ace's post. This is a World Series surpassed thread now, but I had to put in my 2¢ worth, just because ... Galaxy Quest is everything the hopeless, despairing dystopian crap is not.

This movie gets me every time. Sure, it's "only" a comedy-parody, fandom-teasing homage, yet it's nonetheless (in my everybody's got one opinion) one of the best SF movies ever made. It laughs at fandom and filmdom without actually mocking or denigrating, and in the end honors the spirit of Trek- sincere hope, undauntable courage, and ultimately rising above oneself.

And, as far as I can tell (Santa Clause #1 notwithstanding) it's the only reason for Tim Allen to exist. Crazy but brave wins in the end.

The crew of 'way-'way-out-of-their depth actors, especially the idiot Allen plays, contrasted with the deadly seriousness of imminent genocide of the Thermians by the evil Grinch bad guy is so hilarious and so terrible all the way through. It's all a hoot until someone dies, and they do.

By Grapthar's Hammer, I enjoy it more every time. And it makes me feel crazy because I do.

The score is even inspiring! Hopeful, positive, and uplifting. Life's been nightmarish lately, and this is just what I needed tonight.

Gotta go, gotta watch the rest. Been busy since we got back from Chicago, but maybe I can participate in the morning thread tomorrow.

NEVER GIVE UP!

Thank you, Dave in Texas. Keep up this kind of good work.

Morning, Glories. Permission to re-board the USS AoS?

A comic repeat (Apr 2014) re changing history, just for BttF day.

Time Traveler's Conundrum

Your collections are always delightful. This one was especially funny.

Here's an unusual critter friendship I thought you might enjoy seeing. h/t my son JC.

Pete: Most of you stop here for...

I read it all (um, except when Chrissy's are too deep for me, which is often). Pete, you're dear as kin around our house, and by extension your family matters to us. Thanks for continuing to share them. And, yeah, I do appreciate the "funny crap."

Daily, via RSS, except when, like this week, I've been traveling and get a day or two behind as I am at the moment. And I'll add, I always look forward to what you've come up with.

You can also count the "hey, look at this one!" passaround readership, of my wife and sometimes one or more of our adult kids if they're around.

Hi, bob. We've been on the road; delayed my replying.

I managed to recall that I posted pictures and my inflated telling about the fall of the first half of the oak.

Besides a lot of greenery, you can see my then-hairy face, m' li'l red truck, and a glimpse of our faithful doggeh! Had a good trip, but glad to be home with m'good boy.

D@mn you, Ace of Spades blog.

I wish I could quit you.

Gotta quit reading/commenting, start packing out & hit the road.

Be excellent to each other. And party on.

(Of the two movie references, guess which movie I've actually seen? Yeah. *air guitar riff*)

Donna: ...Lefitst elite... all for open borders... [yet] promote tribal divisiveness... aspire to One World Utopia... [but] insist on defining and splitting us up into narrowly defined groups

Instead of saying they believe in Utopia, one world, etc, you should say their rhetoric proclaims that, but their real beliefs are the opposites you elucidated.

Which is why I believe the correct term is "regressives."
