Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tonight's ONT Has A Guest Author!Well, we've moved, but things still aren't settled down. The moving truck with our stuff was supposed to be here Monday, but our driver got subpoenaed as a witness in a court case late Friday afternoon, so all our stuff spent Monday and Tuesday chilling in an 18 wheeler in Indiana. They got here last night, but didn't start delivering stuff until this morning. The 18 wheeler won't fit down our street, so it's parked about a mile away and they are loading a box truck for delivery to our house. We got 2 loads today, 2 more tomorrow should finish it. Good news is that my grill was in one of the loads, so I was able to grill a nice steak dinner. I invited the movers to eat with us and they couldn't get over it. Said nobody's ever cooked them dinner before. I find that hard to believe, but whatever. So it's been a crazy day, and I kept telling Gingy “I don't see when I'm going to have time to write the ONT”. She said “I've seen those picture dumps you sometimes do, why don't I do one”? So tonight's ONT is courtesy of Gingy. It's not that long, but I hope you enjoy it. I'll try to have more traditional ONT tomorrow night.Tonight's ONT brought to you by a cartoon that Hank (ibguy) would have liked: Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)Posted by: Slapweasel at September 24, 2020 10:01 PM (Ckg4U) 2

Outside the window of her room, is the southbound express lanes. Nothing unusual there except for the tractor trailer hanging over the side of the elevated lanes. No injuries fortunately. The woman driver of the truck lost control from going to fast. So they say. She may have been trying to parallel park, but the officers were covering for her.

Odds that Dan will run for Gov?
Posted by: redchief at September 24, 2020 10:11 PM (Kab4E) As a talk show host, I thought Dan Patrick was a bit of an uninformed blowhard because, well, he was. He didn't let knowing only half of the facts keep him from having an opinion about the issue. But he's been a very, very good lieutenant governor, and much more of a human being. I spoke to him at length at the state convention a couple of years ago and he really had a genuine interest in what's going on out there away from Austin.

LOL. The Portland mayoral debate between the loathsome Ted Wheeler and the far more loathsome "Antifa Sarah" Iannarone was supposed to start fifty minutes ago, but hasn't started, due to technical difficulties. (Wheeler did get his opening statement in.)
The debate is sponsored by Portland's City Club, which is a century-old "good government" organization, similar to what a lot of cities have. However, it got taken over by SJW's a number of years ago, which may explain the technical incompetence. Before the audio completely broke down, the president of City Club (a lesbian, of course) did manage to read off a long statement stating that we are all on "stolen land". My response to cr*p like that is to snarl: "If you truly think that you are on stolen land, why are you still here?" No laughs at the debate tonight, I guess.

Routing. Plus I don't know if they still do this but certain companies have to use certain routes to service certain states. This is supposedly to keep everyone from competing for and using the "good" routes. But like all things government all it winds up doing is raising the cost of shipping and creating artificial delays. OR The company may have certain routes to travel that are required for the drivers to use. There's a bunch of reasons for that. Posted by: jakee308 at September 24, 2020 10:20 PM (0rE1j) 145

The Seattle City Council is doing that, "Stolen Land", crap too.
Idiots, then GTFO and let those of us who live here now enjoy the fruits of winning. Portland City Club has gone full hard-Left - it has been hemorrhaging members, and now refuse to have debates on several ballot propositions, because there is obviously a Good Side and an Evil Side. No point allowing the Evil Side to speak, of course. The funniest thing about the aborted debate is that the sponsors of the debate are Chevron and the local natural gas company, which is driving the gerbil warmistas on the YouTube channel nuts.

After standing in a room, perhaps 15x15 filled with tear gas cooking on the stove and whatever was evacuated into other guys' pants, while we answered various questions put to us, I was impressed with it. Then, after following the order given, I became a firm believer in the functional ability of the Army gas mask, circa 1989.
I don't want to hear *any* gripes about tear gas in the open. Try standing in a 15x15 room with no mask, no ventilation, and a large can of that sh*t cooking on a stove. And then start singing Army songs. And then realize you're going to be in that room inhaling a whole lotta tear gas because some j-hole is too chicken stuff to take his mask off. So it gets taken off for him. I've done that *3* f*cking times (Basic, ROTC, Signal Office school) and it never gets easier. It's absolutely miserable. But, man, does it clear out your sinuses.

Dave, after reading about the moving company employees not ever having the customers make dinner for them, I believe it. I worked for a moving company during college, and we would have customers come out and scream and yell at us for grabbing something to drink out of our coolers on a 95 degree day in Richmond, VA. Oh, and they would get pissed if we took a lunch break. Mind you, they weren't paying us for those breaks, but they thought they could get in under the minimum if we worked through our lunch.
What you and Gingy did will make you legends inside that moving company. Posted by: Ashley Judd's Puffy Scamper at September 24, 2020 10:39 PM (I8FKK) 279

Once I was bringing home a girl from a bar.
As we pulled up to my house, I told her 'Shit, I forgot my house key! Took it off the keychain earlier and left it on the counter' ' Does your bra have an underwire? I can use it to pick the lock on the back door'. She seems confused, slightly taken aback but agrees to give me her bra. She takes it off in that magical way women do without actually taking off her shirt. I smiled at her and said 'thanks, that'll save some time' and proceeded to open the door with my key. Never heard a woman laugh so much. Posted by: AlaBAMA at September 24, 2020 10:52 PM (3aLWR) 368

Okay. In Seattle yesterday at a hospital for my friends chemo infusion. Outside the window of her room, is the southbound express lanes. Nothing unusual there except for the tractor trailer hanging over the side of the elevated lanes. No injuries fortunately. The woman driver of the truck lost control from going to fast. So they say. She may have been trying to parallel park, but the officers were covering for her. Posted by: Winston, dreg of society at September 24, 2020 10:09 PM (d9Irc) *** Those express lanes are retarded. Back in 92 I got in a 50mph crash because of those stupid things. They were closed heading south so you are supposed to get over 2 lanes. They give you a 3 mile warning. But all of the idiots go flying by passing everybody and then force their vehicle in at the last minute. Long story short, I rear-ended a Canadian guy who got confused and stopped his car in the middle of a 55mph zone. I didn't see it in time because one of those idiots passing everybody cut me off and blocked my view before rapidly forcing his way into the next lane over.

Portland will have big problems when the woke progressives, who can't even deliver a video conference, become in charge of bridge and airport maintenance.
The county runs the bridges. Like a lot of cities, the airport is run by the port, which is a special district created specifically to keep the port out of the hands of city government. I'm sure at some point the county will replace the bridge engineers with gender studies majors. Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 24, 2020 10:57 PM (I2/tG) 390

There were people who realized they were going into the express lanes, stopped, backed their cars up, and rejoined the traffic in the regular lanes. It was live all over the local news, including live shots from the news helicopters hovering overhead.

I always laugh at those "bE sUrE tO rEgIsTeR tO vOtE" things because there *is no such thing here* in North Dakota.
It does lead to odd outcomes sometimes. e.g.: our primary ballots have Dem/GOP/Libertarian columns for partisan contests. Everyone gets the same ballot, but once you pick a lane you have to stay in it. If there are no real contests in the GOP I'll vote the Libertarian column for lulz. In 2016 so many Dems crossed over to make sure that squishy tech-bro Doug Burgum was the R candidate in November instead of some icky actual conservative, that some of their legislative candidates almost didn't get enough district votes to get their name on the November ballot.

Murray was very much the archetypal silent diva. Her career basically nosedived after her marriage in 1926 to "Prince" David Mdivani, who took over her career and convinced her to leave MGM, which enraged Louis B Mayer, who basically made sure she never worked in any other major studio. She coasted on the success of Merry Widow for years, and whenever she deigned to appear at a swanky restaurant or nightclub, would demand they play the Widow waltz, to which she would twirl around the floor, a display that became sad and grotesque as she got older, heavier and crazier. For most of her later years, she lived in poverty - Mdivani had taken all of her money - and more than once was found sleeping on park benches. She was finally admitted to the Motion Picture House in Hollywood, a sort of stars' retirement place, where she died in 1965.

Hey everybody!
Well, tonight I finished my UberEats deliveries for the month, but my second-to-last delivery was to a person (on KAREN Avenue-- no joke!) with one of those left-wing "BLM/Science Is Real/blah blah" lists posted in front of their house! They ordered an Italian place I really like, so I was seriously considering pilfering half their order and writing on the bag, "I saw your awesome sign and was so moved, I made the unilateral decision to redistribute half your dinner order tonight to the needy. Harris/Biden 2020!! Power to the people!!" I chickened out, but it was fun to think about. ;-) Posted by: qdpsteve at September 24, 2020 11:08 PM (L2ZTs) Posted by: Muldoon at September 24, 2020 11:09 PM (Fc5rx) 452
The Regency (or rather, the first 20 or 30 years of
the 19th century) saw a fashion inversion with women basically wearing togas (diaphanous togas to be sure) and men being more peacockish. Posted by: SFGoth at September 24, 2020 10:56 PM (KAi1n) The Regency period started in the 1790s and ended around 1820. The gowns were empire-waist (waistline sits just below the bust), and inspired by Marie Antoinette's gowns. One big mistake people make is thinking the Regency era was as prudish as the Victorian. The Victorian era was actually a reaction to the comparative hedonism of the Regency. Posted by: Vendette at September 24, 2020 11:09 PM (hM0UJ) 453

I'd expect no less of Portland. Seattle is losing businesses and jobs like crazy. The local media headlines it as Covid then, several paragraphs down, they mention the looting and burning. Also, waterfront businesses being closed because the city owned piers are collapsing. I for one, will laugh my ass off to see the big, now closed, ferris wheel sink below the waves.

I had a scary moment with my dog today. I threw her a piece of bun and meat and in her doggy way she just gulped and it seemed to just go straight down her throat.

***TOP FIVE THINGS CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR NEWSOME SAID TODAY TO HELP PROMOTE HIS BAN OF GAS-POWERD CARS IN 15 YEARS***
5. "Every time you take a trip in your neat new mandated electric car, you can yell 'CHARGE!!' at the top of your lungs as soon as you disembark and actually mean it!" 4. "No more gasoline, no more paying sin taxes on gasoline. Of course there'll be lots and lots of taxes on voltage and trip length and destination and other stuff, but I promise those all will be so incredibly low you won't even notice them." 3. "Look on the bright side, you'll never have to evacuate your bowels in a smelly old regular gas station restroom again!" 2. "Everyone will love when they have an electric car, because then everyone will be able to use the electric car exemption for the freeway carpool lanes." 1. "Did I say I'm gonna mandate electric cars? I meant to say, I'm gonna mandate electric FLYING cars!!" Posted by: qdpsteve at September 24, 2020 11:28 PM (L2ZTs) 537

@481 garrett-If it was an 18" I'd snag it for nostalgic reasons. I f'ing loved those bikes. Always wanted a nice custom titanium bike. My choice was always between an Ibis or a Moots. Wanted the Ibis over the Moots precisely for those "hand" cable guides. I got my Moots, had it for a couple years now but its a cross/road bike. My mountain bike is a custom built full suspension Ventana El Ciclon (aluminum) thats built here locally. Took me a long time to give up my rigid frames though.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon A true story ... or so I was told: If you visit DFW (iirc) and go to a very tall bank building downtown (BoA, Wells Fargo ???) you will see a very old piece of paper in a large frame. You might ask why there is a very old piece of paper in a large frame and you will be told ... When the bank began building their large building, they ran a standard title search and the title company came back with the all clear. They began building. A few months later a little old man showed up with his taco cart and told them to get off off his corner. He had been vacationing down in Mexico so he hadn't been on his corner for a while but now he was back and he wanted them off of his corner. Bank // construction company laughed and 1) told him to take a hike 2) called the cops 3)both 4)neither. Few weeks later ... legal notice comes to the bank / construction company: Cease and Desist. The little old man wants his corner back so he can sell his tacos. They go to court. Bank has title search. Little old man and his mother/wife/sister shows up ... with a Land Grand from King Phillip of Spain granting them land rights in perpetuity ... which happen to be legal documents in the State of Texas which may but usually don't show up in title searches. Lawyers for little old man and family mentions that his clients are not ... unreasonable people ... and the bank / construction company already has dug such a deep hole it would be hard to sell tacos all the way down there. Which is why you may now visit a tall bank building in Texas with a very old piece of paper in a large frame in the lobby.

@579 garrett-I'm 52 yrs old 5'-9" 200 but its still muscle (thank God) so I've always packed around lbs which is why I preferred to OWN a steel bike. Racing nice S-Works Tarmacs on the road for a team or carbon Mt Bike for a weekend was one thing but IDGAF what anyone says them carbon frames have a shelf life.
Your right about 29-ers but I'm stubborn AF and mines a 26". Full suspension plus the 29" wheels in rough single track is insane. Posted by: JROD at September 24, 2020 11:56 PM (0jZnq) 602

It is CRAZY. The faster you push them, the more planted they feel. It's absolutely nuts. Little weird to get used to being inside the wheels, rather than over them. I still have my 26" Mach 4. Can't bear the thought of selling that one...but can't imagine I am gonna ride it too much. We have some insane trails up here and that thing served me well.

Asked and answered On December 8, 1941, hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces from the Marianas launched an invasion of Guam. Chamorros from the Northern Marianas, which had been under Japanese rule for more than 20 years, were brought to Guam to assist the Japanese administration. This, combined with the harsh treatment of Guamanian Chamorros during the 31-month occupation, created a rift that would become the main reason Guamanians rejected the reunification referendum approved by the Northern Marianas in the 1960s.

@619 DrC-The last all steel road bike I had built was by Roland Della Santa in 1990. He built Greg LeMonds frames when he rode for Huffy. He got my frame done in record time because I kept him supplied with Dominos Pizzas and Hustler magazines while building it. He's Italian and I put Shimano on that bike and you'd have thought I kicked him in the nuts. He always busted my balls for not putting Campy on it. I still have that bike and my last rigid frame mountain bike is a steel Murray designed VooDoo. Still have that too. Both "museum" pieces for sure.

I don't have much Mountain Bike experience. We "built" our proto-BMX bikes (well before the first BMX bike ever hit the market) from Schwinn Singray frames, S-2 wheels, paperboy bike front hubs and other parts selected for strength and durability.
Weight wasn't an issue, because lightweight parts simply didn't exist for such in the early '70s. But the first speeding ticket I ever got was on a Styer 10 speed in 1974. Downhill on Linda Vista Boulevard, headin' towards Old Town and Point Loma, beyond. 42mph in a 40 zone. Chickenshit ticket you say? Well, yeah. But I did pass the motorcycle cop on the right hand side, and I think he felt honor bound to send me to the chair. Which featured in a movie, a decade or so later.

Well I think Japan got Saipan as part of its WWI reward - German Pacific territories. Guam had been part of the Spanish Empire, and I believe we got it after 1898.
That's why Saipan was the first Japanese territory, with civilians, we invaded in WWII. The Gilberts and Marshalls were also part of Japan's WWI winnings, but only military and related (construction workers, mostly impressed Koreans) were in those sparsely populated islands, apart from the natives. Was in a museum once where they had displayed an invoice from the Japanese Army to a rice farmer in Saipan during the war, text on the exhibit said "occupied Saipan". I jokingly pointed out the error to a docent, who loved it, and said he'd talk to the curator. Posted by: rhomboid at September 25, 2020 12:35 AM (OTzUX) 687

20 years, 11 months and some *very* odd days with the CA ARNG, minus a couple withe the USAR. it was more like belonging to the world's largest military re-enactment organization, given how obsolete our equipment was. the scars and the physical damage to what's left of my body are the same as serving that long on AD though, even if the VA won't admit it.

In 1977 I bought an old Schwinn middleweight (S7) girl's bike, expressly for rolling down the fire roads in the Puente Hills here in So Cal. There was no such thing as a mountain bike then. It was so much fun that I bought a new Spitfire with the 12 gauge spokes and balloon tires. I tricked it out with thorn proof tubes, BMX pedals, and grips, and a bolt on front brake. I was having a blast with that thing, and I tried a bunch of times to get some of my surfing buddies to go "hill diving" as I used to call it. I was telling them that doing this was damn near as fun as surfing. This was about the same time that the guys up in the bay area started building klunkers to ride the hills up there. None of my surfing pals would listen. I was up there alone having the time of my life. It was my own secret sport. For a while anyway.

You can easily on-load about 100 passengers, and RTB with the original three flight-crew and six "management" crew necessary as to un-lading the helicopter while in flight. Fuel costs decrease with efficiency, you see. A lesser Blackhawk 'copter might only offload about twenty, and at only about a 20% fuel saving. Fly the Big Birds, and save. Or if you're into volume. Fly the C-5 galaxy, palletize the bastards, and use parachute in-flight extraction. Bonus if you do it from about 18,000 ft. Just enough to make 'em woozy, but not enough to make 'em un-aware.

Getting that frigging roadrunner was the straw that broke the camel's back. It took up a big chunk of the garage and you can't work in it unless you move the car.

Re He. Second most abundant element in the universe, but very rare on earth, because it's so light it easily escapes the atmosphere back into space. We get it out of the deep ground, along with oil and natural gas. There is some dispute on where this helium comes from. Many geologists think it comes from radioactive decay (beta particles, which are helium nuclei), but others think it is primordial. At any rate, the US is the biggest helium producer in the world, and we had a strategic helium reserve. THey passed something that would sell that off (for the money) a while back. At any rate, supply is drying up. Demand was abated by the lockdowns, turns out, and the helium supply crunch has lessened for now. There are critical needs for helium, such a superconducting MRI magnets and other scientific needs. The price got high enough that many of these users started installing very expensive reclamation systems to capture and re-liquefy the He that boiled off of their systems.

My problem is I should have moved every so often and upgraded along the
way, but nooo. I stayed in the same house for 30 years, and little by little filled it. There is no real junk, there is just no more room unless I build an addition to the house or garage. Not worth it. Last place was 20 years in one spot that had been planned as a 5 year stop. Accumulated way too much crap. Moved most of it myself a pickup truck load at a time over about 6 months. Still needed movers to come in with their biggest truck at the end. Now, 3 months later, still finding stuff in random boxes. Did get the clothes out of plastic bags. Once I ran out of bags it was time to actually do laundry.

I won't have 6 months though, because I have to buy the new place before I sell the old place, so the old place can't linger because no way am I going to be able to pay a 3-400K mortgage for an extended period while I wait around to sell the old place. The old place is paid off, but the property taxes are $800 a month, because fucking jersey. I need to get rid of the old place and pay off the new mortgage. Houses don't stay long on the market here.

The wood tools are in the basement because nooo way they fit in the garage. I figured the best thing is to get one of those POD things dropped off in front of the garage and just pile everything except the tools and heavier machines into it and have them drive it up the street. that would probably be the easiest.

I mentioned it earlier, but keep in mind one of the most common tools of the left, to control the message. For the Left, if something is good, it still isn't perfect, so it isn't good enough. So tear it down. Don't fall into that fallacy. Because nobody or nothing is perfect. Is it getting better? This is the question to ask. The question the dishonest Left refuses to ask. Because they know the answer and would lose some of their political power from the crazies. And I would say that it continues to be good, and for most, getting better.

Ok, just a thought:
Is the creation and maintenance of a full time Army inimical to the health of the Republic? Are there safeguards and have we successfully put the safeguards in place? -it opens the door to... mischief. Does anyone doubt that if the Left thought they could count on the strength of the military to be employed on their side that they would hesitate to use it? (cue wondering about Obama's leadership... changes) -I wonder if you have a full time army, if one way to keep mischief from rearing it's ugly head is to demand military service? Or does that only work in the case of constant existential threat as with Israel? Does universal enrollment mean you dilute the strength of what you have, absent that existential threat? I am not sure where I am going with this. One of the things posed in the podcast I have been listening to is that Rome's transition to a full time army was 'Mercenary work under the guise of state policy.' My initial thought is that this is bullshit and that the presenter is ignoring some vital cultural and societal changes that he does not want to think about. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. -John Addams That pretty much sums up the issue for me, whether it be talking about military or political debate. As long as we have common cause and actually feel as though we are one people, there is no danger. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at September 25, 2020 04:02 AM (cI3Q7) 827

Posted by: Romeo13 at September 25, 2020 03:17 AM (NgKpN) Thats exactly what my friend is doing that I'm buying the house from. he's going to get a new diesel pickup with a 5th wheel, and a toy hauler/camper type of trailer and go see the country and live in different places. if he finds some place he really likes to settle down he will, if not maybe end up in florida.

That is scary! Dogs are so weird how they just inhale food.
Posted by: AlaBAMA at September 24, 2020 11:34 PM (3aLWR) Go back a decade. We had a border collie mix who we always swore just inhaled her food. One day our 3 year old came down the hall and left his pancake on a stick of n a he coffee table. He goes back down the hall and starts crying that his food is gone. Look for it, don't find anything, whatever. He's 3, right. Long story short, about 4 days later we're listening to our vet explain how he removed the skewer from our girl. It had gone down so fast that it punctured not only her stomach, but also 3 loops of intestine. Said he'd never seen anything like it. He had a picture of her X-ray on the wall for years.

I am not sure where I am going with this. One of the
things posed in the podcast I have been listening to is that Rome's transition to a full time army was 'Mercenary work under the guise of state policy.' My initial thought is that this is bullshit and that the presenter is ignoring some vital cultural and societal changes that he does not want to think about. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. -John Addams That pretty much sums up the issue for me, whether it be talking about military or political debate. As long as we have common cause and actually feel as though we are one people, there is no danger. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at September 25, 2020 04:02 AM (cI3Q7) The founders weren't exactly crazy about having a standing army because they knew in the wrong hands it could enslave the people. The 2A was designed to be the safety against that, and its why they meant for us to have EXACTLY the weapons our military would have. Their vision was 2 armies, the civilian one, and the professional one. Just like you have volunteer fire departments and paid departments. They use the same gear, but one gets paid to hang around the fire house. The armed populace was a counter to the professional army, so in case it got into the hands of people like these jerkoff leftists it couldn't be used for evil, or at least stopped in its tracks because the civilian army would be vastly larger in numbers, and armed as heavy.

My interpretation on the 2A as well. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at September 25, 2020 04:19 AM (cI3Q7) 833
And I think I am wrong on the 'common cause and thinking of ourselves as one people' part. It's different than that.
Addams was making a moral judgement based on religion. So, in other words that the people would have the same moral code and in general the same values. The common cause and thinking of yourself as one people is subsidiary to that idea, not the root cause. The flip side of this is Worldwide Marxism. They have common ideals and may think of themselves as one people (laying aside that they would happily begin purging the shit out of opposing splinter groups the minute they had disposed of their common enemy.)

There are exceptions, however, for what Gov Penis calls 'life rites'.

So our recently booed upon governor, DeWine, has mandated that starting 10/12 in apartment/room visits will be allowed for people living in extended care. Implementing the rules to be decided by institutions.
Reasoning for the change, it's been determined that seniors have been negatively hurt emotionally by the lockdowns. No shit Sherlock. I have a mother that was negatively impacted not just emotionally but I believe physically. Could I have stopped her stroke from happening, no, but maybe I could have seen some sign that she was having issues. How these idiots have harmed so, so many people with their damned Covid panic.

I had some adults who had advocated spraying tents with the same goop used to disinfect wrestling mats, but its instructions paid no or scant attention to whether or not it had anti-viral effects. Yet SCIENCE! had settled on using that as the solution.

San Fran. I know the staff has been working extra hard and under stringent mandates. However, when can common logic be injected instead of paying attention to an elected official and I'm guessing a gaggle of lawyers.
And yes I have recognized the extra work of the staff by adding a monthly staff appreciation kicker to the monthly rent payment. Posted by: neverenoughcaffeine at September 25, 2020 06:53 AM (PgmdM) 1008

Among the more disgusting traits of our globalists is thinking that love of one's country is somehow dangerous. Yet to love one's country is not to disparage the love of others for theirs.

1981: Sandra Day O'Connor is sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court. Posted by: rhennigantx at September 25, 2020 06:42 AM This is how History.com summarizes it: On September 25, 1981, she was sworn in as the 102nd justice -- and first woman justice -- in Supreme Court history. Initially regarded as a member of the court's conservative faction, she later emerged from William Rehnquist's shadow (chief justice from 1986 to 2005) as a moderate and pragmatic conservative. "Moderate and pragmatic conservative". Yeah, she ended up being a liberal. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at September 25, 2020 07:12 AM (Do5/p) 1037

Likewise, Cthulu, The Elder God? I remember some weirdness where someone stole his info and he was going though hell with it, and getting very very worked up about it as well. Then poof! Maybe just back to an altogether offline life.
Posted by: Hierominous Botch at September 25, 2020 06:33 Cooth went thru hell, got infected from a link here. Cost him a lot of time and agony. It made him paranoid and he got banned. When he was unbanned he lasted a bit, but couldn't let it go and made references to who he thought was his persecutor. Now that I think about it Ira comes to mind. Anyhow he got banned again. Miss him, nice guy, always helpful and a smart dude. Met him IRL at the Vegas MoMee and he was a great dude. Also miss Chi who got banned for defending him.
