Belated hat-tip to ya, Erowmero, should you catch this.

Some folks like the tobaccy-speed mixed with their wacky-weed. Knew some Germans liked it that way.

Most heavy tobaccy addicts in my experience don't really get much from the happy herb. They're too busy getting to that next nic hit.

Thanks. Hoping that's all that ails him.

Daughter says big white dog was a Great Pyrenees.

Hi. For those following my pet reports...

Back from the vet's. Looks like maybe Jack hasn't been eating because of a toothache. Going back for some dentistry on Wednesday, then we'll see if he gets his appetite back. Not sure that's all it is, but hope so. It fit the symptoms better than dying of old age or poisoning. Ol' Jack is a good kitty.

BUT

At the vet's there was a nice little old lady with a nice little old Yorkie or something, that had got outside and been torn up by barbed wire or animal. Out of an exam room comes a man with a large black assault mastiff with the thing on the back that goes up... sorry... so the big dog wants to check out the little dog and the man holding his leash does LETS THE BIG DOG APPROACH. The lady was scooting her little dog under the bench in protection. Alarming and disturbing. Dumbass finally pulled the dog back just as I was thinking I'd have to get my own self involved.

Later, when we're leaving, a woman is coming in with ... a giant white... wolfhound?

Looked more like the Spinone Italiano, which if you'd asked me I would say you order at Olive Garden. Anyway, big, big dog in a harness-leash that she can't control at all. Couldn't get it to come inside. I took our dog (who went to the vet with us) outside to get away from the madness.

I know some pets sometimes freak out to be at the vet's, and maybe both dogs were just scary-looking but sweet as can be, like ours is, but nobody knows your dog, and you never know when a dog might go off for any reason. PEOPLE, CONTROL YOUR D@M& DOG! /rant

Flipping back n forth on the radio between Beck and Herman Cain, the guest hosts are both dwelling on Furgeson, and neither one seems to have all the latest up-to-date information one can get just by reading AoSHQ, much less following newsblogs. Even PJTV News I watched last night talks about "shooting of an unarmed teenager." At least the guest on Beck was aware that in a situation where you're being charged by a 300# jerk who already assaulted you and doesn't seem to mind bullets, that you keep shooting. D'ya think that cop was probably lucky he finally managed to get a clean head shot before he ran out of ammo?

Has the President dumped on us yet?

Vic: "Slow Monday, not much out there."

Weekend calm before the Monday storm.

Morning, Glories from Oklahoma, outpost of civilized America.

Jack, the old cat our daughter left with us years ago is not eating. Doesn't seem to be in any pain. Maybe feasting on rodentia when we're not looking, but I don't think so. His breath smells sick, too. Not eating is not good. So, heading to the vet in a few minutes.

This old guy used to belong to a trucker. Well traveled. As my daughter says, the cat had been to more countries than I have. I know he's appreciated getting to retire to a country place with regular mealtimes - he had some erratic owners before my daughter got him. He's big, super mellow, gets along with all others. I have called him the Bouncer after some bouncers I've known, because when another cat misbehaves, I've seen mellow Jack transform into the Enforcer. He is respected.

Hope it's just the heat or something he'll get over. Seventeen years old, though. Good kitty.

How does any normal person even keep rushing after being shot once? I mean, I don't know a lot, medically, about those little hard things impacting flesh, except what I pick up from a smart military blog, but from what I understand even a minor wound can give you considerable pause.

I suppose it might be shock, someone just hadn't registered they'd been hit yet, but seems t'me that "poor little boy whose family will never hold him in their arms again" just might have been considerably jacked up on sumpin. D'ya 'magine?

Goodnight Gracies.

And after you get in your jammies, kneel by your bed, fold your hands, close your eyes, and bow your head, to say your prayers, pray whatever the Preznit has in mind to dump on us tomorrow will blow up politically in his rapidly-eroding face.

Earplugs are on the "approved" list for the US Border Patrol's weapons.

No bacon?

Enjoyable montage of material, Maetenloch. Gracias.

Rubber bullets

Wife just made some baked potatoes,
Topped with cheese and diced tomatoes,
Butter, salt, sunflower seeds.
There's just one thing this tater needs.

And we forgot to fry (or bake) some.

Flashback to May 2013

Pearl Cantrell, from Richland Springs Texas celebrated her 105th birthday and the event was a three day celebration. Many people refer to her as the "bacon lady" and over 200 guests attended her birthday celebration.

"I love bacon, I eat it every day. I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say," Cantrell said to KRBC, an affiliate of NBC. She insists that bacon is the key to long life and encourages friends and loved ones to eat lots of bacon just as she does.

Taking Back The Future

Many minutes since I last rebooted, but I saw Tammy al-Thor in there, and since I haven't seen that for a while, "HI!" and , verbodybdoyyy. Everyboddddy. WHOA!

Good night, Gracious children of the Supreme.

I can't believe it. I sit through this Trifecta - and sometimes you guys are a real trial for us short-attention-span just-give-me-the-facts-ma'am I'm-not-living-forever older folks - I'm watching your most excellent work, I'm weeping, I'm saying aloud, Yes! Yes! and the like.

Then I get to the end and Vodka Green says, "It's been noted that wars that begin with surprise attacks end badly," and cites Hiroshima / Nagasaki.

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDDING MMEEEEE???

Let me spare you the Long Lecture and just mention my Uncle, who had just finished help defeat the Nazis, and was being shifted to Pacific Duty to invade Japan, when THE WAR ENDED!!!!!! I, and all his relatives including his great-grandchildren are rather happy to have him around, seventy years later. Need I mention the medals prepared for the Invasion of Japan? IT WAS, if you'll excuse the all-caps, THE MOST DECISIVE, EXCELLENT, COMPLETE, and PERMANENT end to a war one could ever hope for. THE WORLD SUDDENLY WAS AT (relative) PEACE. VICTORY!!!!

So, in case you don't quite understand, I'm saying I'm not quite sure what you mean by "ended badly."

Had to reboot the browser, as happens sometimes, because it wasn't loading pages & stuff.

I walked out of the room while the browser reloaded, and when I came back, this was playing.

I LOL'd like I do every time I see it, and watched it a couple of times.

But I had no idea why that page was even up until I hit the back arrow and realized it was from clicking on the earlier thread,
"And from commenter 'Tami,' a link to Governor Perry dealing with the indictment." Hahahaha!

Then I went back and watched it a couple more times. There's a few other current situations, and individuals, which I would like this scene to symbolize.

Seems, every time, almost as deeply satisfying as the first time I saw it.

A hilarious selection, BoB. Nothing "PC" in any of that! Kids with razors, with guns in bed, drinking *gasp* beer, and even soda pop! "Love's Baby Soft": pedo "baby doll" attraction is always disturbing, but the "innocence is sexy" line - the whole ad - is so totally un-subtle about it!

I may generally be dumber than a dog's dump, but I kniw how to lick my finger and test the wind.

I was going to tweet something like what Axelrod said.

"You're ruining my career," she repeatedly slurred.

The essence of the Regressives' idea of personal responsibility.

See also, poor wittle baby whose family will never hold him in their arms again gunned down while on his knees begging for his life by militarized steroid-pumped racist white (but I stutter) bullet-spraying cop over a pack of shoplifted cigarillos. The cop is plainly to blame.

Also, Ambassador Stevens wanted to be in a high-risk area with no security.

...

I planted seeds of dreams but all that sprouted was nightmares.

(lame attempt to tie back to gardening, obviously)

(Sheesh. Real life keeps interrupting my horde lurking!)

CharlieBrown'sDildo: "The question is whether state legislatures will be able to resist the overwhelming force of federal dollars used coercively."

My understanding is, nothing works until an addict really wants to quit.

Soonam just went to the comment closest to the end. I'll go back and read yours.

The thread continues to twitch.

I merely suggested grabbing a little of SE Mo. where my brother lives.

Me: Soona, if you missed it, a goofy webworker reply on secession end of last thread.

Soona: It's Panzer. ...

?? what ?? Oh. FTR, No, I meant my own goofy webworker reply.

Not worth mentioning in the first place, really; now that x2! :/ The wonders of Pixylated communications!
