Wait, is this the morning thread or a mid-morning Purp Stomp? 'Cause I gotta know which shoes to wear.

Computer dating. Safe. Reliable. Just never meet the person in real life and you'll be jus' fine.

Hiccup.

"These are the men who are drunk, but care."

Don't know whom you're quoting, EC, but we are amused.

That's just weird. -Mama AJ

Funny. That's the same word I used.

awaiting our grandchildren...

flour grandchildren? weird. Twist the meaning to 'one in the oven.'

At least dump went up while I babbletyped (Every. Time.), so nobody sees or cares. :/

So, visiting Evanston in '73, I take the El down to the N side to visit a girl I'd met at college... and some of her family... and the guy she was living with... awkward^3.

Which Is why, by the time her sister walked me back to the El, I was a wee bit intoxicated. Okay more than a wee bit. Nodding out on the train bit. (The tie-in, see?)

My 2nd time on public trans ever, right? Every stop, if I was conscious, the car I was in would stop where I couldn't see a sign to figure out where I was. When my blurry brain finally put the blurry signs and the inscrutible map together, I realized I was heading into deepest South Chicago.

I don't know what station it was where I finally got off to go back. I'm just glad it was deserted.

Luckier than I deserve.

BTW, the girl I went to visit? Forty years later, we are awaiting flour grandchildren...

1. Bet the toilet didn't even flush. But if the liq cab was open, no prob.

2. Purp's posts sometimes confuse me. This item might be Vic's or Ben's, but a whole post for this? But mostly, Purp's seem to appear at random times. 2am is weird enough, but between the headline comments and the dump seems particularly... something particularly... distracting? (Squirrel!)

2+. NB: I am not complaining, trying to advise or control, nor do I really care as much as the word count might indicate.

But, really Purp is like the rogue Cob, on nobody's schedule or pattern.

"...in around '83 or so it was like -32 in Chi town and the chill factor was like -64. (windy city and all that you know). I was there. I know." -Bitter

Yup. My fam was there. Fourteen fun winters. Hissing radiators mean comfort. Don't have that out here in natural gas land.

Am I late or are you all early? Hi.

"New poll: most (54%) say Obamacare is having a negative impact on the country's health care system."

46% of poll respondents remain abysmally ill-informed.

See? Sometimes I do read the posts!

Both are sitting in my house scared beyond belief.

Tennessee shotgun wedding. Problem solved.

Delurking to applaud

The correct answer, too. Ain't love grand!

I am the invisibleness between the dots.

That is all.

For tonight.

I hope.

Dan Rather lives in one and people who aren't crazy live in the other. - WalrusRex

Ah, much more succinct & pithy than mine!

Dan Rather Still Won't Give Up His Fake Story?

Some folks can never admit they've been conned, right? (Cough - obamadroids - cough) And I hear tell the best con artists sort-of buy into their own con.

When your whole life has been spent in cognitive dissonance (cough - lying - cough), the Sense of Reality becomes atrophied.

Dan Rather just can't believe he lied. Or, got caught, rather.

Every. Time. :/

Y'know what?

My son is getting married on Sunday.

We've hardly had contact with him for a year or more. We hardly know the girl.

The wimmens finally got to meet her kin at the bridal shower. Reportedly solid good ok' folk stock, so, there's a hopeful sign.

Nothing but God or SMOD can stop it now, so, I ask for the prayers of the world's foremost militaryish locker room, for strengthening of the true Spirit of Family, immediate and extended.

And to that purpose, i just feel like saying, Merry Christmas. Okay? Thanks.

Another tl;dr webwork - should've caused a new post... allakazap

I reviewed the plot and looked at who was in it and it just didn't seem to appeal to me. -Vic

Me, too, for years. Then one evening, the Mrs & I gave Fargo a try. Nothing like we expected. Or were looking for. Or would normally watch. Horrific. Dryly, darkly hilarious. IIRC - was a while back. Not on my "let's watch that again soon" list, though.

The cops asked the guy for his ID and he refused and ran back inside the house. So legally they had every right to follow him into the house. -Vic

Legal, maybe. (So? Most law sux.)

Reasonable, no. Guy uses traffic cone, admits to it, runs inside (not exactly like running away)... let's wonder if he'd already assessed the cops were roid-raging bird-stmoping types ... so he was dumb *3.

Mature peace officers would laugh and walk off with the cone. #BackWhenAmerica

the chinless shitstain that the Iranian Rodent put in place as Attorney General...

Knew who it was before glimming the nic. A dose of the Captain invigorates like splashing cold water on your face. Have some every morning!

Cops object to fellow using traffic cone to mark parking space, he runs inside his mom's place, cops end up kicking down doors, beating and pepperspraying adults and kids, and stomping a pet to death and the article says, charges against the family have been dropped!

America today.

Bette Midler to play Mae West?

Well, in sympathy, who could play Mae? It's like casting for WC Fields or something, you'll only ever get the palest of caricatures.
