Violent protests, particularly those that have been organized and fomented by national political figures are not protests - it's insurrection and should be treated as such.

14 Re Peak Outrage. ..
In real estate it's location, location, location. Walking around with a toy gun in your backyard won't get you shot by the police. Take to the streets, in an area with much gun crime? Whole different matter.

Common sense is becoming not so common in this country lately. The last six years especially.

15 Merry Christmas to the horde. God bless us every one. After marrying a Catholic woman, I no longer eat Chinese food on Christmas Day, nor go to the movies. On the plus side, I do get to contribute nova salmon to the family's seven fishes dinner on Christmas Eve!

On Christmas, whenever I hear the songs "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," I go to pieces thinking about the guys and gals in service.

In that light, I discovered a series on Netflix called "World War 2: The Last Heroes." Worth the watch.

17 JJ Sefton, you watching The Yule Log on WPIX? One of my favorites this time of year.

18 Let's all think about Trainer all day, 90 miles from home saving somebody's ass-in-the-fire bacon AKA "server down." Maybe we can razz him about that later.

Bitch, piss, moan, but the most rewarding (stop that, you kids, I don't mean money) Christmases I ever had was when somebody's ass was in a sling, and for one day out of the year, what I knew how to do was suddenly important, and you got some people out of trouble. Doesn't matter, so much, what or how many people, but of course in retrospect the worse the peril the better. Roy Rogers on the railroad trestle with the Christmas trees.

"Retrospect" is the operative term. While you're saving them, it still sucks.

Hey trainer how's that vacation going?
Some people. Won't even stay home for the holidays.

Merry Christmas, trainer.

26 Morning to my fellow losers who are here on Christmas.

Now about that shooting.

Allegedly that gas station was a bit sketchy. And allegedly it may have recently had a bank account closed for "suspicious activity" that seemed to point to drug running to/from the Mid East.

There are some who think it was, in fact, a setup for the cop, and he got out luckily.

27 A plumber I knew told a funny story about being called out to a grand hotel on Christmas morning. He and his newly hired helper were shown to the basement where he looked down and could see that it was filled waist high with effluence. After a moments consideration he sighed to his helper over his shoulder 'Well, now is when we earn our pay.' Getting no response he turned around and the helper was gone. Quit on the spot.

43 Very interested to get details on the La. mall shooting. Occurred right after customer came out of a Foot Locker. Expect to find out the victim had the lastest, greatest pair of Air Jordans. That would make two dead over the shoes this week. According to police, a 16 year old kid pulled a gun on a man after the man bought a pair of $200 Air Jordans at a mall just south of Dayton Ohio earlier this week. The man happened to have a CCW and killed the kid.

Makes you wonder what really killed that kid, a gun or Air Jordans. Maybe Reverend Al can explain it.

44 "Now looking at that bottle of Amarula to put in the coffee. Or should I just move on to the OJ and Champagne? "

I'd vote both, but I'm looking at a counter with empty (or nearly so) bottles of bourbon, vodka, Champaign, and more...

So the coffee thing sounds really, really good right now.

BTW, the fire's lit and food is soon to hit the pots 'n pans, which of course means only one thing:

LEFTOVERS!!! for all of next week. What is it about "day old" stuffing/sauces/similar dishes that make them soooo good a day or two later?

53 Beloved, if you are in a city today prepare to leave. The violence will be worse there. Don't get hemmed by the 'walking' dead/fsa. They have their own brand of justice now it seems. Other than that, remember the season and be safe. And as for eats today? 1/4 turkey, 1/2 ham from Thanksgiving. Just gen up the fixins and you is good.

54 I'm sorry, but what "keyboard hard ass" wrote was not a threat. Obnoxious, yes. But not a threat. Dead cops is not license to further suspend the Bill of Rights.

Sadly, the pussy may get a nice cash settlement out of this. And it will be a correct judgement.

Speaking of WPIX-TV and "balls," a funny story. A friend of mine was a cameraman for PIX when they broadcast the Yankee games. Back in the mid 80's, Tom Seaver and Phil Rizzuto were calling a game when someone fouled a ball off home plate and it caught the catcher right in the crotch. He doubled over in agony, and Seaver trying to be genteel said "wow, that caught him in the thigh and that's gotta hurt." To which Scooter replied "thigh, my eye! He rung his chimes! I heard it all the way up here!" My friend was laughing so hard that the director had to cut away because his camera was shaking.

Emmes truth.
