Offsite Comments

th

Almost a thousand comments? I think I may have to forego reading them all.

By the time I get up (late, lately), track down Vic's news and follow some of his links, check through the headlines and follow some of those links, then scan for http in the comments to see all the good stuff commenters link to, and then get to the art thread...

...the thread is ginormous or Ace has finally awakened, and...

...it's time for me to go do other things.

I really have to start getting up earlier. Gets too hot too soon these days.

Hi, folks, anyway.

[no mindful webworker stuff]

th

So I read the post. Followed the links. Followed the links off the links. Followed suggested videos off videos on the links.

Or I would have been first. Or fiftieth. Or something besides this.

Howdy, folks.

The post above at last I've read
Just in time to head for bed

Hey, bob, I passed along a link to this to the coblogger in charge of the always-excellent Ace of Spades Sunday "Book Thread," who should be stealing borrowing from your collection in the weeks ahead. (I regularly link to your Caturday threads and other critter features on the Saturday "Pet Thread" there, too.)

Not so sure the Barbasol ad is about marriage...!

Always enjoy the old ads.

Um, about the voting date... you were trying to fool them into showing up a day late, right? (Checks calendar... again!)

Me: I hereby volunteer to be willowed.

That worked so well that two new threads appeared!

Bandersnatch: Are you an 'Ette? Because this would be where we say "show us your tits".

You really don't want to see my old moobs.

They are sexagenarian, though.

I nap out for two hours and come back to find this still the top thread (250 comments later)??

I hereby volunteer to be willowed.

IllTemperedCur: My rule of thumb has been to avoid the south side of any town/city...

East St Louis and North Tulsa could fool you.

Hey, Seamus, did you quit posting the diary entries after D-Day, or have I just been missing them? Well, I do miss 'em, one way or another.

IllTemperedCur #33 These hobos are easy to track.

We're not going to tie this to a bunch of puns already, are we? To want to do that you'd have to have a loco motive.

It's not often that Waldo is just standing there, so obvious. Where's the challenge?

...I dont understand this hatred of the film from the time they announced they were going to make it.

You probably still won't understand, but...

1. It's a remake of a classic, always fodder for negative anticipation.

2. It's a "let's put wimmen in the men's roles" switcheroo, for no reason other than to do so, likewise fodder for ridicule.

3. It's Hollywood 2016 with nobody as big-name as Ackroyd or Murray. Why expect anything good?

It may actually turn out to be funny, somewhat - I'll watch it when it's "available" maybe, out of curiosity, and I'll try to compartmentalize the remake/feminize/ripoff aspects so as to see it as its own thing - but I have low expectations. But, then, I watched GB2 and even some of the cartoons when the kids were young. Slimer! Hahaha, huh, kids!

...Police in Cleveland say they aim to avoid mass arrests at the protests planned for next week's Republican National Convention, but preparations by the city's courts to process up to 1,000 people a day have some civil rights activists worried....

Hard to imagine, but it would be entertaining to see 1000 agitators a day taken off the streets. A laugh riot.

Case #126: I think Obama is going to speak to the country again.

J.J. Sefton #131: You mean "talk at." He never "speaks to" anyone. Sick bastard.

Possibly simply "troll" would suffice?

A few more of the nekkid women at the beach.

Bruce (not the wang), those were some beauties, indeed. Putting kbdabear's links to shame. And here I was afraid I was going to be rickrolled to a pic of trigglypuff or something.

First breakfast done.

Setting coffee maker to "invigorate."

Giant flaming heatball is above the horizon.

As usual, someone has already made whatever comment I thought to make in reply to things, and clever-er. Ah, well, I guess lurking is easier, anyway.

* stares at insufferably slow coffee machine *

Ooops! Did we do that?

Probably not the first to state this obvious truth, but...

Backup! Backup! Backup! And never, ever trust any online service to retain your data.

Morning, Glories! Fog lifting of the pasture, sun about to show forth its fury, but pleasant at the moment. Forced myself to get up early for a change, thanks to dog for helping.

Ooohhh... I'm no fun anymore.

Bye.
