Saturday Morning Weird News [Mis. Hum.]
Grab your favorite beverage. Relax, it is Saturday after all. ***Update: Mystery OB has been identified***
Here are a few things that didn't make The Dumps this past week. It is an amazing world at times, isn't it? Hey, it's an open thread. No running with sharp objects and play nice with the others.
- This guy doesn't seem like a Tombstone Pizza guy
- WTH is up with pizza and Florida?
- Go Granny Go!!!
- ONT's have been pants optional for quite some time. Its now spread to Berlin
- Sounds like fun, like eating Lutefisk or Kaboom
- Her name is not Jenny nor is her phone number 867-5309
- Surprised none of the charges include being dumber than a box of rocks
- The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Government is way too big
- Truly a
headbutt scratcher Hey Morons, have a wonderful weekend. Be safe. Be well.Comments

21 So I'm watching my sister's kitten, which is a very cute Siamese fluffball. I think she has destroyed half the contents of my (old) home. I haven't even gotten into my new home yet because we are renting the first year while we decide what to do with our two old places. The landlord doesn't allow pets so I haven't spent a single night in our new place yet. Meanwhile my white sofa is taking a beating, my hands continually smell of gourmet cat food, and my newish husband can't find the pots and pans.
Thus endeth the whining for today.Posted by: grammie winger at August 20, 2016 08:53 AM (dFi94)

All's well here. Finally got my SIL into rehab....poor dear had to go to Hawaii and did nothing but bitch about it. It's a Teen Challenge place and her twin lives in Hawaii and knows the people that run it so we were able to get her in pretty easily.

69 They're doing tuckpointing on my building and the residents were told to close their windows and pull down the blinds during the work because the dust gets everywhere. But I had the windows open last night because it was cool enough to avoid turning on the AC.
So this morning at 7 I'm awakened by a racket and I see the legs of the two guys right outside my bedroom window. I yelled out "Crap! I didn't think you guys would be working on Saturday!" I got up, closed all my windows and turned on the AC because even though it's cool outside it gets awfully hot in here quickly with the windows shut. Now it's raining and the construction guys, having accomplished their goal of getting me out of bed, are gone.Posted by: Donna&&&&&V (whitely waiting for the ballgame) at August 20, 2016 09:27 AM (P8951)

72 "A nice review of Trump's speech yesterday."
It's been amazing, once he finally got on the prompter for the big addresses, and calmed down his undisciplined extemporizing. And he went for a week with various Democratic proxies trying to rudely prod him into going after them personally with an angry response, and he did not give them the satisfaction.
All the things he had been doing wrong, he's starting to do right. The New Trump.

He also needs to run a bunch of commercials. His speeches over the past week have really been great, but the msm is going to ignore anything he says unless he puts his foot in his mouth.

Posted by: Skip at August 20, 2016 09:06 AM (bksJQ)
Oh, I remember that very well. Smerconish portrayed himself as a conservative, and was a big supporter of Bush's "War on Terror". In retrospect, it appears that he was a "9/11 conservative" like a certain Bicycle Boy many of us remember.
During the 2008 campaign, he said that he was keeping an open mind and would vote for whoever he thought would "get bin Laden". I would roll my eyes whenever he said that. I knew bloody well that he was going to vote for Obama. He kept teasing his endorsement for months, and when he finally came out and said it, I turned him off and never listened again.
I'm sure he felt all smug and justified when Obama finally "got" bin Laden.Posted by: rickl at August 20, 2016 09:41 AM (sdi6R)

Trump shows up to the flood area and he's the biggest villain because "it would interfere with relief efforts'
Barry golfs during the LA flooding and he's a hero because that's the best way to help.

• A statement from Ms Peel said: 'They did not care about how this would affect me. I would definitely say this has changed my life, I will never have the confidence I once did.' Says the woman who smashed a robber's head into an ATM three times and fended off their theft. Mrs. Peel from the Avengers (Brit not Marvel) I'd say. She should have moar confidence!
• DUI popping the beer in front of the cop also had no license. Always go all-out, Morons. She should've been naked, too.
• Aaaand... "...nurse waved me into the surgery room.... Once I was inside the surgery room, the nurse told me to take off my pants and lie down on the bed. At the time, I was a little doubtful, but I thought that this would make me just like my wife giving birth. So I took my pants off."
A little doubtful??? Was he hoping to get some (while his wife was giving birth!) or just really, reallllly stupid?Posted by: mindful webworker - weirdly at August 20, 2016 09:49 AM (XkxK0)

118 "Smerconish portrayed himself as a conservative"
I knew relatively little about the guy, Smirk being pretty much an east coast thing, until someone handed me his book. In which he initially purported to be a fearless foe of left-wing political correctness.
Okay, I hate the PC nonsense, I'll give the book a go. It started off in a vaguely promising way.
Instead, partway through the book, Smirk recounted having had an African-American gentleman call in to his radio show. This fellow then claimed on the air that America's automotive, aerospace, computer, and telecommunications industries had actually all been created in their entirety by black people. And that Whitey, who had no innovative role in any of this, had then dishonestly stolen all of those black people's technological creations and all of the profits they were due.
Wait, what?
Smirk turned out to be so favorably impressed with this line of reasoning, such as it was, that he actually invited this lunatic conspiracy theorist in as a welcome studio guest on Smirk's radio show, instead of referring him to the nut hut.
I tossed the book at that point. Life's too short to be reading bad books, and especially not by authors intent on taking the nonstop express train to Crazytown.Posted by: torquewrench at August 20, 2016 09:59 AM (noWW6)
119 The University of Toronto's elite University College has been forced to recognize the existence of two genders and re-establish separate washrooms for male and female students sharing its co-ed residences.
The move was provoked by two separate incidents in mid-September of male students holding their cell phones above the shower stall dividers in so-called gender-neutral communal washrooms at Whitney Hall, a co-ed residence at the University College, to record female students showering.

Given the timing (400 years ago or so) I think Genovia's celebration marks something similar.
I also believe (with no backing evidence, unfortunately) that Genovia collaborated with the Nazis. They try to hide this, of course.

Can't say why, Skip, but it don't work. I ride that one like a stallion all winter long, sometimes as I'm ("literally!") digging them out, and they just nod with their mouths hanging open. First hint of a thaw, and they're right back at it.Posted by: Stringer Davis at August 20, 2016 10:41 AM (tIja6)

180 "On the subject of sex" (earlier thread)
A woman Federal Judge throws the book at a black man who could be controlled by electronic monitoring and probation. Who could be required to pay for his own monitoring. I'm thinking his victims were all women the judge identified with socially. And she claims this is the best outcome for society? I want thugs thrown in jail and women to wise up and quit being such easy marks for perverts. The judge doesn't want to state (admit?) that the black man is a pervert. Because that would taint the mentally-ill-are-a-protected-class meme?Posted by: Really? at August 20, 2016 10:45 AM (CRXed)

Does anyone have a guess as to why Trump's television ad buys for October so far are zero? Those bookings get a lot more expensive as you approach air date.

184 There are 100 shitloads in a shitton. These are actually an Imperial
units. The shitload being 20 of an archaic unit, and the shitton being
2000 of the same unit - kind of like a ton turned out to be 100 stones.
Fun fact, that comes out to almost exactly 144 English shitloads, since it is based on the Fotmal (about 70 Lbs of lead) instead of the pound. There was a drive in the 30's to fix it officially against the British Engineering measurement of mass, the Slug, but this was never accepted because there was percieved a need for rational numbers.Posted by: Kindltot at August 20, 2016 10:51 AM (ry34m)

I would not normally say this to a resident of Texas, but I would happily trade weather with you.
Here in your old stomping grounds in SE PA, it's been in the 90s or thereabouts for weeks, and I am really tired of it. Today is a little better, but it's been so long since I did yard work that I've practically forgotten how, and would prefer not to think about it.

Thanks to the advice and assistance of grandkids, she has a ginormous flat screen a family room full of people can enjoy - with a gazillion cable channels.
And, AFAIK, she mostly watches sports (golf, tennis, select college basketball games), classic series (e.g. Gunsmoke, Andy Griffith) and movies. She probably does watch the local news, too - mostly for the weather.
