and what is that it's wearing?

Well, I suppose, if I actually gave HuffPo a click to see something I'd already read about and couldn't care less...

at least it helped me better appreciate this post's response.

Heh.

Once again, the award for Best Sarcastic Crossing of the Memes goes to (rips open envelope) Seamus Muldooooooon!

"Ace is always open"
Posted by: Al Gore

"It was" what was whu? I broke the blog? Wha'd I do now? I was drinking with the Austin D.A. I was stoned with CAC. Somebody cracked my platinum AoSHQ account. I was never near the place. I never met the girl. Anyway, she said she was of age!

I did a cartoon featuring VP Al Gore, being useful, back in '97.

One of the extremely few advatages of classic, vintage, antique Pixyware is that Opera Mini browser handles it just fine.

I have had to close and re-open the browser twice after getting hung-up on "modern" webpages.

Me: I went back to sleep and slept late.
Misanthropic Humanitarian: So is that 45% crap from Ace rubbing off of you?

I suppose it's just remotely possible that I didn't read every single sentence of everything our Host has churned out, and I can only presume the 45% reference has to do with his Don't Be Mad Bro article from last week? Should I go back and read it again, this time while awake?

I was told this thread was too dangerous to enter.

Naturally, I hurried to find out. Where's the fire?

In before 200!

And before the next thread.

Morning, Glories.

Went to bed late. Woke up in the dark hours, brain weighing my own troubles vs the troubles in the world. When I realized there was no comparing, because my troubles were also part of the troubles in the world, I went back to sleep and slept late.

Would you believe it took me a couple of blinks to figure out why, under the Judge Jeanine video, you put the drunk driving poster?

One of the most painful "obviously drunk" things with the DA was how she kept saying to the cops, "You guys pulled me over…," when actually IIRC they found her already pulled over and passed out (with a bottle of vodka parked in the front seat with her).

Democrats: She pulled herself over! She should get a trophy!

I saw the listing of the team of Metamorpho and Mr Fantastic, and I envisioned more a "tangled web" of stretching and … metamorphing.

Instead,* they're just standing there and the focus is on some team I admit must be after my time. UFOs? What company are they from? (Don't make me actually search for myself!)

I don't know them, but I see a familiar grouping: flying guy looks flamey, big blocky strong guy, semi-transparent wispy gal and some guy I'll bet is their leader.

All teams are the Fantastic Four. :D

* Not criticizing; always enjoy your work.

Why don't they make a microwave with programmable ringtones? Why do we have to live in the beeping last millennium?

tubal: Just staking out their dhimmi creds, avoiding the rush.

Imagine if some restauranter in church-going smallville (Las Vegas not so much, maybe) had a street sign with some topless hottie. You'd understand and agree with complaints.

"Community standards" are the first thing they try to change. Make bacon objectionable. Then uncovered women. Then the flag. Then crosses....

"Real" life hasn't left me a lot of time for webworking (a/k/a webplaying) lately, but I managed to do this ICYMI:

Bump or Pass?
Everything is just spliffy!

A closer look at that "fist-bump" photo by the golf bums.

Now includes link to Chicks on the Right, which blog I just discovered yesterday, where the Chicks tell us who are O's golf buddies in that picture.

Lizzy: "Yeah, why didn't the VT restaurant owner say something like..."

I believe your question contains the answer: VT.

Me> POST before I think better of it...

Mama AJ> That could be our motto.

Ha! Imagine how utterly quiet it would be if we always reflected first. The occasional newcomer arriving to an empty thread...

What happens while I wait for coffee to brew:

______

It's knowing Ace of Spades is always open
And the threads are free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my body bags
Rolled up and stashed behind his couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By indignant hosts and cobs
And the attitudes that killed some other place
That keeps Ace in the alleys
By the sewers of my memory
That keeps Ace ever mental to my mind

_________

Okay, if I had time, I'd punch up that ending and work on another verse, but no.

Variant for someone else to try: Gentle Giant in his Mind.

Apologies to Glen. POST before I think better of it...

"This guy thinks we can terraform Mars for about the same price climatologists put on mitigating global warming."

Which price is ASTRONOMICAL. See 50:1 Project.

Morning, Glories. I'm up, I'm here, the pets are fed, the Mrs sleeps, I'm all yours.

Wait. Gotta go make coffee before I settle in reading. BRB.

&diams?

Well, hello, Chicks! I just found my way here c/o commenter eweturn on Conservative Treehouse. I think I might like the place.

I had been wondering who those happy golf buddies were. Thanks for reporting! I've linked to here from a page on my site: Bump or Pass? - a close-up look at that "fist bump" photo (parody poster)
