Woodsy Owl is their slightly strange uncle who always smells a bit of patchouli and pot.

Or Mike Lawler could guzzle gasoline and take up smoking. Mother fucking really wants to be first.

Until he can’t because Congress stops him. And we need people like Analilia Mejia in Congress to push back against fascists like Mike Johnson who want to ignore it.

Leaving aside my feelings on Goose (and jam bands in general, ESPECIALLY jam bands that formed in the 90s or later, MOE, I’m especially referring to you), the fact that there are bands named Goose & Geese getting simultaneous airplay, indicates something is seriously wrong with the simulation.

The stories he tells are just completely nuts, and even as a child he realized it’s not a good thing when basically the entire regime was smoking opium all the time. And hanging out with Billy and Benny McCrary.

I worked for years with someone who grew up in the Shah’s entourage. Both of his parents were personal assistants to the Shah & his daughter.
They escaped with the Shah’s family, and were then basically cut off. His mom was assassinated outside of DC, Shah’s family ignored it.

I’m going to need you to eat a bowl of salted rat dicks.
Yes, there was a lesser of two evils, you fucking hack.

Fuck yeah. Start at 8am, run for an easy 90 minutes. (I do 6-7 miles a day anyway.)
Shower, eat a couple tacos, drink a couple beers, repeat, get 12 in me before 1pm, take a 4 hour nap, rehydrate, knock out the second dozen of each. Bitch better have my money.

I try to keep my mileage in the 30-40 miles a week range. I discovered that when I bumped to 50 miles a week I was always fighting nagging injuries. And a hamstring pull, which SUCKED.
Started walking then running in COVID, and this has been the best 5 years, 11 months of my life. Mental health!

Obviously best know for his Looney Tunes work, but his MGM stuff seems to be more 'his'. I still think Looney Tunes was better than MGM overall, but man there are some great MGM reels too.

I would say the chewed up pouches of pouches of Fancy Feast Broths my little chaos goblins have been leaving around the house might be evidence.

(All cat food packages are now locked in cabinets during the day. They ate through the bag of dry food too! With full food bowls 10 feet away!)

And had a 20-year career as one of the most trusted military leaders in North America. By the Brits, the Native Americans, and the French. He was kind of a stud for a long time.
I had no idea he spent time around Pittsburgh until I saw the statues.

Except for George Washington, 6 foot 8, weighs a fucking ton!

Snow got me this morning. Up and dressed, out the door for a 10k at 6:15, new snow falling on ice overnight, slipped and fell on my ass twice in the first half block, figured the universe was trying to tell me something, went back to bed for an hour.

So spend $250M on Herschel Walker, whine that all the other owners should help pay, then drive the team into bankruptcy?

It’s the Jets. It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard.

High & Dry gets no love?

(Pyromania is the correct answer. A serious album of the year contender in an insane year for music overall.)

I know it’s just a weird angle, but it really looks like the guy on the right is the Grand Klavern, or whatever they call the head racist with the biggest pointy hat.

Maybe your brain is saying that Chris Sale is too old, and signing him makes as much sense as signing Carlton at 36 would have made.
Then I remembered (ok, looked up) that Lefty won the 3rd of his 4 Cy Young awards the season he was 36.

Brains, man.

I always had snowboards in my Manhattan apartment. Hell, I even lost a surfboard in my first apartment. (Surfboard had a broken fin, I found a surfboard sized hole in the back wall of a closet, put the surfboard there, forgot about it and realized it a couple years after moving.)

There is that. Might have to nag my parents to at least strip & restore the one from the 60s.

You mean the documents that EVERY job requires? Like ID, SSN, maybe a bank routing number if you want direct deposit? Fucking Fox truly amazes me how they can be worse every fucking day!

First: I get it. My wedding rehearsal dinner (100) was catered by a friend all in cast-iron Dutch ovens. The same family friend drove a truck full of new old stock cast iron from Idaho to NYC.
I love cast iron. Aren’t they supposed to look like that eventually? (Or is it just my parents pans?)

Shit, I may have to walk to a bar tonight. Though in Suburban NJ, there is a very good chance that they're shut down today.

Damn, it's the Reverse Triple-Lindsay.

Re-subscribed to Wired (after 20 yrs), because of an article about the decommissioning of the TAT-8 Trans-Atlantic Cable system.
The best article Wired ever published was "Mother Earth Mother Board by Neal Stephenson 12/1/1996, about FLAG.
For years I had my new hires read it. Over 29 years ago.

It's the Native Americans. The Mormons are pretty sure of that. The Mormon religion is the most American major religion, Native Americans, AMERICA AMERICA USA USA!!!

How could anyone argue with that? Even an Irishman, and we know how contrary (and drunk and fighting) they are.

/s

Very cool (long) thread about banded iron formation. Learn something today. (Especially if you're snowed in.)

Don’t blame Duke on NJ! Oh, Princeton is cancelled because George Schultz has a Tiger tattooed on his ass?

A snowy landscape. A nighttime picture in suburbia. The trees are covered in snow, there are lights to the left of the picture, and a fire hydrant below the lights.

A winter tree covered in snow like time. Across the street is a house with a porch light on, and to the right another house with interior light visible through the windows. The tree looks like it’s backlit by some very tricky tech, but it’s just light reflecting off the snow/clouds.

Blizzard report: There are several inches of snow on the ground, it continues to snow, there is minimal wind.

Coaching kids is tough. Coaching kids baseball is insanely tough. You earned that 6 hour nap.

(I coached youth wrestling for a couple years.)
