Carter - he kept us out of war.

Anyway, [Shaun King] now claims his momma had an affair with a black man and thus, ouila, explains his "blackness."

It's often mentioned how the "look at me!" psychos had Daddy Issues.

It's not usually quite this obvious.

Morning, Glories!

Cutjibnewsletter - ironically, I could not find a Subscribe button.

Maybe it's just as well. My RSS feeds already overfloweth. Alls I needs is yet one more blathering blogger.

Think I need coffee...

Sherry McEvil: Same for Oklahoma, people think it's still an ugly dust bowl. But, hey, if it keeps people with ugly Liberal hearts and minds away, I have no problem with that.

So I've always said.

And don't forget the constant threat of getting scalped by all the wild injuns.

(Really! ... At the casinos...)

Some Irish fellahs came in for OK Mozart years back, and remarked how the drive N from the airport reminded them of the green hills of home!

Sherry!

I keep running across your email, thinking, "I really need to reply," and then getting disfarcted. It's been a busy year. Illness. Death in the fam. Lying around in front of the electric fan trying to survive 100° days...

Nice to see you!

Hey, Mindful, hope you are well now. Sorry to hear about the illness and death. I've dropped in twice this week to chat about Hillary, etc..

Sherry!

@votermom: how long since we last got the Vic Morning News?

If my log is correct, the last time was the 13th. That's a week, which is getting toward Time to Worry.

Skirted the edge of the barrel. Lucky me, Pixy does close open italics. Sometimes. (The extra fee for the Platinum membership has its privileges.)

AllenG: Okay... it's time to talk about something important with the Horde. ... medical directives, living wills ... Ace of Spades HQ directive ...

You forgot, what's the term? Porn buddy?

Long ago, in another millennium, one of the most active regular commenters on CompuServe Religion Forum was a certain elderly Texas Baptist preacher (also AF vet and scientist).

One day, he went dark. Then, after a few weeks, he showed up again, more powered to preach than ever, I noticed.

Then suddenly he disappeared again, and we got one last sad message from his account, his daughter announcing that he had died.

He'd never said a word about his health, but obviously that last burst was him doing his gospel best on his way out. You are not forgotten, Dr Jerry.

Friends known only through text are sometimes closer than the ones in the flesh.

The accented e in Remy was showing up as a diamond.

It was one diamond too many and I decided to see if I could do something about it.

I experimented with Opera browser encoding for this page and when set to "Windows-1252," instead of the diamond, I now get a properly accented é! I am amazed. Noting it for the AoSHQ Commenter's Survival Guide.

I wonder if Opera will hold that setting across other acecomments.mu.nu pages. Ah, the challenging game of Pixyland!

Oh, but it won't let me post at that setting. Siiiigh.

Oh, sure, put up the art thread and leave me with another lonely, orphaned comment. This is a plot against me, I can tell. Overt prejudice against the slow-witted-typing.

Oh, look! Says here in the Stylebook, Don't quoteback the bilgewater, lest it irritate the banhammerer.

Running that through Google Translate...

(Oops. Stuck this in the wrong thread.)

We really should have somebody who has Vic's phone number or some other-than-here way to contact him. He seems to be taking more days off lately, which I hope is good for him, but I'd hate for him to just, y'know, not show up again?

Oh, hey! Little fuzzy yellow cat went out after feeding and caught himself a mouse for dessert. Now he's being stalked by the old gray guy so he can't put the mouse down and enjoy it. Drama on the lawn!

Also a most effective method for your cat to pick up a dose of feline round worms, which he will be happy to puke up in a writhing wad on your floor for your amusement.

Another "Mister Helpful" suggestion.

Maybe we should differentiate BLM (Bur. Land Mgmt) from #BLM (Black Like Me... I mean... whatever...)

me: Text - still your best entertainment value.

Circa: No, but two of the letters are right.

Okay, okay, I meant mass media entertainment, not live. Well, not in the flesh. Well, ... oh, fine. Never mind.

Paterns In Putin's Was Against Ukraine?

* searching for decoder ring *

Since my first comment never got posted, and my second one got willowed...

Morning, Glories!

Lessee, I've got tabs open for the ONT which I didn't read last night, the morning thread until it dies, and on my "to read" list, a page on learning calculus, some poorly-punctuated poem, and a devotional thanks to FS. And now the dump thread.

Text - still your best entertainment value.

Try #2 - my lovely essay on the morning light apparently never got posted.

There seem to be a lot of AT&T IP#s that don't get through on AoSHQ.

Morning, Glories! Again.
