CUSTOMER OUTRAGE Kyle Rittenhouse update – Best Buy & Levi Strauss face boycott for offering employee counseling over not guilty verdict BEST Buy and Levi Strauss are facing a boycott from some customers for offering employee counseling over Kyle Rittenhouse's not guilty verdict. Users took to social media to slam the companies after news broke that services were being offered to employees who felt distraught over the case. No aftercare for the employers and employees of businesses destroyed by Antifa and BLM. ***SNORT*** Say goodbye to Sitting Bullshit. Canada’s Indigenous health expert Carrie Bourassa fired when ancestry claims prove false She’s Sitting Bullshit. A Canadian medical researcher who rose to become the nation’s top voice on indigenous health has been fired from her government job and her university professorship — after suspicious colleagues investigated her increasingly fanciful claims of Native American heritage and learned she was a fraud. Carrie Bourassa, a public health expert who served as scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health, was suspended five days after the state-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published a lengthy expose on her background. Dining with the Jetsons? I don't think so. People Furious at Robot Serving Pancakes at Denny’s Survey: Most Americans Don't Blame God For Suffering and Evil In The World. Then again, the wages of sin is death. Why should you give up something you have earned? "Fairness" I guess. The United States is the only country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group made of 36 of the world’s wealthiest nations, that doesn’t require employers to give workers annual paid leave, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research. That leaves 23 percent of Americans with no paid vacation and 22 percent without paid holidays. So as you can imagine, if an employee is given paid time off, they take it pretty seriously. No wonder that when the 25-year-old childless worker and the author of this post on r/AITA was asked by her 41-year-old colleague with kids to share her accumulated vacation days, the answer was negative. “She wants me to give her 6 of my days. Her justification is that I’m childless and don’t need that many days,” the author explained. But after telling her she cannot give away her hard-earned days, the office drama ignited, so let’s read on below for how it ended. I'm not surprised that the Nanny Karens of the world have harmed development of children. Meanwhile, the verbal development quotient also dropped dramatically, from an average of 100 in 2018 to just below 90 in 2020, and around 70 in 2021. The non-verbal development quotient also experienced a similar dip, from a mean score of around 105 in 2019, to 100 in 2020 and around 80 in 2021. The study concluded that 'children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre-pandemic.' 'In addition,' the report adds, 'masks worn in public settings and in school or daycare settings may impact a range of early developing skills, such as attachment, facial processing, and socioemotional processing.'Speaking of arrested development. Numerous so-called institutions of “higher learning” have reportedly been offering free counseling and therapy to those emotionally unwell students who were allegedly traumatized by 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse not being sent to prison for life. As previously reported, Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges on Nov. 19th based on comprehensive evidence showing that he’d opened fire in self-defense. The evidence included clear-cut video footage of three longtime criminals chasing after him during the 2020 Kenosha riots, reportedly with the intent to cause him harm.You think we live in interesting times now, wait until the camps pop up. We Morons know that if there is a problem the free market will correct it. The governments of the world can't force their wishes of a carbon free world until there is a solution. The following story gave me a big smirk. The energy source that Germany moves to shut down, rescued the country from widespread blackouts in 2021. Blackout News reports that more of Germany’s power is being produced by coal and nuclear fuels. In 2021, due to unfavorable weather conditions, wind and solar energy production plummeted in 2021 compared to 2020. “Germany’s power mix is getting dirtier.” The figures were compiled by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen (Working Group for Energy Budgets) and based on the first 9 months of the year. Compared to 2020, the first nine months of 2021 saw a 3.3% increase in primary energy consumption – mainly due to economic reco0very. I thought the Left was all in favor of consumption taxes. SEC.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) on Nov. 17 said she thinks three doses should be considered fully vaccinated, and the state, which does not currently have any vaccine mandates, was looking into implementing some. "We ... are analyzing what we can do to create those incentives - and potentially mandates - for making sure that people are fully vaccinated, which means three vaccines," she said. Yeah, no. GFY.

Canada's Indigenous health expert Carrie Bourassa fired when ancestry claims prove false
For the century following the Civil War, a well-known phenomenon was "passing" - a light-skinned black person would move to a different place, where nobody knew them, and would then claim to be white. I wonder when was the last time a black person tried to "pass" as white in the United States? Now, it's all the other way - for example, even if Elizabeth Warren was completely truthful in her claims, she thought that she deserved minority status for being 1/32 Cherokee. A substantial fraction of college applicants now claim minority status, whether truthful or not. But remember, the United States is suffused with "white supremacy", which is why many people now desperately claim not to be white.

Evening, Horde.
Just upgraded to the newest Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus. A vast improvement to the old 8 I was using for the past three years. Eight-core processor vs. four, 4GB RAM vs. 2GB. Huge 10" 1080 screen vs. 800px. Black Friday sale for a hundred smackers. Finally, the HQ main page no longer crashes. I was right, it was too big for 2GB. Very happy with this thing. Had to side-load Brave, since Fire OS doesn't allow the Google Play Store. Been researching a PC program called Fire Toolbox that will give me complete control over this device, too, and make it a "real" Android tablet. Not bad for a hundred bucks. Also, FJB, and Viva Tom Brady! Posted by: Taqiyyologist, Rickrolled by Jesus at November 28, 2021 10:17 PM (OssQ4) 87

The left plays this game where whatever decision they want you to make only has upsides. So electric car? NO GAS! Of course no discussion about the time to charge electrics, the cost of electricity, the range, etc. Same thing with the clot shot. SLIGHTLY REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HOSPITALIZATION FOR FOUR MONTHS! And increase your risk of dying or being seriously injured from heart attack of stroke! Posted by: 18-1 at November 28, 2021 10:17 PM (ESjRY) 88

I'm going to be saving lives and they're going to be lying
Fauci is an unelected technocrat who has distorted science and facts in order to exercise authoritarian control over millions of Americans. He lives in a liberal world where his smug "I REPRESENT science" attitude is praised. Here are the facts: (1) On May 11, Fauci testified before a Senate Committee that "the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology." (2) On October 20, NIH wrote they funded an experiment at the Wuhan lab testing if "spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model." That is gain of function research. (3) Fauci's statement and the NIH's October 20 letter cannot both be true. The statements are directly contradictory. (4) 18 USC 1001 makes it felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, to lie to Congress. _cont. Posted by: Braenyard at November 28, 2021 10:18 PM (obh/i) 97

"No amount of ad hominem insults parroting Democrat talking points will get Fauci out of this contradiction," Cruz concluded. "Fauci either needs to address the substance - detail, with specific factual corroboration - or DOJ should consider prosecuting him for making false statements to Congress."

What this country needs is an official racial classification system so we know who gets punished and who gets a leg up.
The Los Angeles School District set up a racial classification board (in the 1990's, I think), because so many teachers were claiming to be minority, to get the associated bennies. The board ruled on whether your claim to minority status was valid or not. But yeah, the more benefits there are to being nonwhite, the more you're going to need a formal classification system.

There was a discussion of which Minneapolis restaurants required vaccination - because, after all, you can't get Covid from a vaccinated person. Joe Biden told us that, so it must be true.

In modeling news, finally took a few minutes to examine the Hobby Boss 1/48 TBF-1C Avenger which curiously includes the markings for the sole surviving VT-8 torpedo bomber from the Battle of Midway 8-T-1 which was a TBF-1.
To make this kit a TBF-1 will require seven modifications. The most obvious is the addition of the gun trough for the .50 to the right and front of the pilot. Second is naturally removal of the wing guns. The radio mast needs to be moved forward and angled towards the nose. Rest of the modifications are further aft. Early TBF-1s had a clear fairing to blend the greenhouse canopy in with the turret. And finally we get to those windows in the lower fuselage. Again this is all early TBF-1 stuff, the TBF-1C has two oblong windows these need to be changed into smaller round windows. And finally the crew hatch on the right side has a small round window that was later deleted as shown in the kit. So happy modeling everyone.

@247 earlier this year there was a days-long power outage in New Orleans due to some storm or other, and people were having fun passing around snapshots of the electric car owners standing in line at gas stations with gas cans, so that they would have the fuel to run their private generators to charge their Tesla's back up.
---- IIRC, private generators fall under the new ban implemented just recently here in California. It's supposedly aimed at gas-powered leaf-blowers. But iirc, it gets just about everything that isn't ridden or truly massive. Posted by: junior at November 28, 2021 10:53 PM (PTw5h) 265

Today's good news is that Delilah was, for the third straight day, Best of Breed, regular Hound Group 2 and an Owner-Handled Best in Show. With the last win she reached 2000+ lifetime points* in the AKC National Owner-Handled Series to become the first Platinum-level** Borzoi ever. It's even more remarkable because Lila has been professionally handled - and thus ineligible for O-H points - most of this year. Her Majesty has shown her only some 20 times this year, but she's won four O-H BIS. Some dog! Some handler! (*AKC points calculations are incredibly Byzantine within and across rules for championship points and breed, all-breed, grand champion and owner-handled rankings. Yet all exhibitors work out in their heads all those calculations instantly) (**They're still working on what it takes to get to Protactinium-level and Astatine-level) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 28, 2021 10:53 PM (/U27+) 267

SEC. BUTTIGIEG: IF YOU BUY AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE, YOU 'WILL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GAS PRICES AGAIN'
Now the worry is about government control of the electrical grid because it will be necessary to ration electrical power in the next few years or sooner. Unless a person installs large arrays of solar panels on their home and business to generate power for their vehicles, there will be a dependence on the grid that is already collapsing under the weight of tens of millions of new people annually flooding into the country and plugging in, while at the same time, more and more dispatchable energy sources are being dismantled and replaced with unreliable/periodic energy sources.

My prediction here is another lockdown and mandatory masking. Should this occur, you'll see me on the 11:00 news, as I refuse to join in their games.
In the words of The Genius, Allahpundit: Americans obviously aren't going to put up with a long lockdown but I wonder if they'd tolerate a short one - say, if there's a major outbreak of Omicron this winter just a few weeks before the new jabs are expected to reach pharmacies. There'd be no justification for a lockdown once the vaccine is available but many (most?) people might be willing to hunker down at home for a month or so to ride out the wave while waiting for the new shot to be made available.

The process is pyrolysis, the destructive distillation of organic matter by heat in the absence of oxygen. Coal, sawdust, wood, compost, food waste, straw, dead hoboes, almost anything organic can be pyrolyzed and made into fuel gas. There is an abundance of information on the Web, including plans published by the DOE, if I remember right. Try; The Gengas Page. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 28, 2021 11:07 PM (P3gRi) 345

The Mrs taught at Texas School for the deaf years ago. Went to a football game against their big rival from Louisiana that had LSD on the side of their helmet. There was a giant drum on wheels that followed the line of scrimmage. The offense would call their play and line up on the ball. The qb would then nod at the drummer that would bang 3 times on the drum. The kids could feel the vibrations and would go on 1st 2nd or 3rd note to vary snaps. Only problem was for the hearing folks.

First, of course it is a disincentive to lease, so that hurts the energy situation, and enrages anyone who understands how it works. BUT the rad left wanted leasing stopped COMPLETELY, so they are still pissed off that he allowed it at any price. On top of that, it doesn't raise enough money to actually be anything more than a rounding error on the Treasury accounts. So EVERYONE is mad about it, and it accomplishes absolutely nothing.

Posted by: Anna Puma at November 28, 2021 11:05 PM (T/yKs) Depends on the altitude of flight. Higher, thinner altitudes present lower drag, and induced heating. Thermal limits on the payload have to be carefully ballanced, or the trigger will not funcrion. Airframe resilience, has to be buikt in for the lower altitude flight, during launch and in terminal phases. Too mich heat either renders the payload inop, or in worst cases...early high yield.

Posted by: Lactatin' Pete at November 28, 2021 11:17 PM (OoD92) Not sportsters (1000cc), but the shovelhead engines of the bigger bikes( 1200cc). Sportsters of that era had cast iron heads, shovelheads had aluminum heads. Some dudes upgraded to the hardened seats, but many didn't and they were usually fine. The last few years of shovelheads had the hard seats. Scary shit doing valve seats. If they weren't done right the seats would fail and fall out.

A 1949 Ford truck would have had a Flathead.
They are relatively low compression, and Henry used good steel in those. They don't need leaded gasoline, nor hardened valve seats. Valve seat erosion is a thing, but it is overblown. It was an issue, particularly in engines ran hard at high speeds like towing, or extended highway runs in some 70s engines is my understanding. Also, while the installation of hardened valve seats isn't rocket science, it has to be done correctly. If the machine shop Fs it up, you will not be a happy camper, as the seat starts flopping around inside the engine if it lets go. If you're redoing the engine or having the heads redone that's one thing, but otherwise I'd not worry about it. Amoco sold unleaded gasoline all along. They used crap steel at some point, though not in the 50s and 60s. Posted by: Common Tater at November 28, 2021 11:36 PM (NUalg) 460

All retail stores in the future will be like jewelry stores are now.
Other models can be like Service Merchandise where there was a single, well handled floor model. If you were stupid enough to want that product you would take a ticket to the cashier, then wait down by a metal conveyor and wait for some gorilla to toss your purchase out like a suitcase carousel at the departures gate at an airport. Otherwise, the entrance/egress will be more like a full height turnstile. Use facial recognition to identify those in the cooperative database as shoplifters.

The wire is copper. But that is probably not what hou meant, ha! Interestingly enough, they used cloth insulation. Indoor use only. They are in excellent condition, electrically speaking. Ironically manufacturers went to rubber coated not long after for consumer goods. Radios and vintage electronics with natural rubber insulation have to be completely redone, as it disintegrates. I found four strings of Paramount C9 lights, with mostly japanese bulbs. I think the strings are from the 1940s or 1950s. These used heavy metals in the japan lights like cadmium for coloring, which are sought after because they never fade, but could not be made today. A few brass base bulbs, which are Sylvanias from before 1957. I read on one websight Pink Christmas tree bulb lights are pretty rare and collectable.

Good night to see people earn their just rewards on the ONT.
1. I'm genuinely enjoying all the useless douchebags who fought Trump tooth and nail and supported BLM get exactly what they asked for. I hope they all go broke and the stupid people in their cities all move away. 2. Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm pretty fed up with women who think they are just as equal as everyone else, but deserve special treatment in the work place because they popped out a kid. If you want special treatment, stay home. Stop expecting everyone else to cater to you. We're all already going to be paying for your useless sociopath because you're too stupid to stay home and raise them like a mother should.

If i were to design a retail establishment. Display items on shelves only so customers could handle the merchandise. High dollar items would be cheap copies or heavily controlled. After payment was made automated delivery could be made at a pickup counter. Delivery in a limited radius would be an option. The risks of having a inventory available to theft is getting too great. People are getting used to delivery anyway.

Valve seat erosion is a thing, but it is overblown. It was an issue, particularly in engines ran hard at high speeds like towing, or extended highway runs in some 70s engines is my understanding. Also, while the installation of hardened valve seats isn't rocket science, it has to be done correctly. If the machine shop Fs it up, you will not be a happy camper, as the seat starts flopping around inside the engine if it lets go. If you're redoing the engine or having the heads redone that's one thing, but otherwise I'd not worry about it. Amoco sold unleaded gasoline all along. They used crap steel at some point, though not in the 50s and 60s.
Posted by: Common Tater at November 28, 2021 11:36 PM (NUalg) yeah, the problem in the harley shovelhead is the hardened seats need more than the .004 press fit to retain the seats, and the earlier castings may not handle that, and at .004 there is a huge risk of them falling out. I have a rear head here right now from a 1974 with the earlier casting that the intake seat dropped, and he bent the exhaust valve when it slammed into the dropped seat.

"Orange Sunshine" was different, so they said. You google fu experts should be able to do better than I. Look up a guy named Ronald Stark. A shadowy figure, well connected, some kind of spook operator. No Wiki, etc.
Anyway, he was the guy that introduced "Orange Sunshine", he was responsible for all of it, apparently. One time he produced for inspection two (2) pounds of pure L.S.D. to demonstrate his bona fides to a prospective dealer or customer. That's a lot. At one time in the 1950s the CIA wanted to buy the entire known world supply from Switzerland, to keep it "out of the wrong hands". Then they dosed everybody at the CIA a few years later, and most of California and elsewhere by the 1960s. True story Posted by: Common Tater at November 29, 2021 12:02 AM (NUalg) 540

Posted by: nerdygirl at November 28, 2021 10:26 PM (+lVUW) ********** My ninth-grade basketball team was playing a game where one player on our team who was well-known for the intensity of his silent-but-deadly flatulence, let one loose at our end of the court just as we lost possession on a rebound. The opposing team's cheerleaders, who were nearest to the deadly cloud, started swearing and moving into and up the bleachers to get away from it. A moment later, our team bench was hit by it and we, too, coaches included, started moving up the bleachers to get away from it.

The players didn't yet notice it since they were down at the other end of the court but as soon as they scored they, and three of our players ran down court where the players on both teams who were supposed to set up where our flatuator was, all ran to the other side of the court, leaving a wide, clear lane for our point guard to drive to the hoop, which he did as quickly as he could dribble. As soon as he hit that cloud of death at the free-throw line, he pivoted out back to the top of the key and yelled out in disgust the name of the guy who cut the cheese. Our team ran the offensive, such as it could be run, from the other side of the court, leaving that smelly half as desolate as the surface of the moon.

Is there a risk of cracking the head if more interference is used?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 29, 2021 12:02 AM (P3gRi) Yeah there seems to be a bit of a concern. The panheads could crack at .005-.006, and at .003-.004 they could fall out because those heads seem to expand more when hot. The shovelheads are supposed to be stronger, but I think some machine shops get a little spooked and don't fit them as tight, because I see them occasionally fail.

"Friendly Atheists" article starts off with a line of pure idiocy, emphasizing the fact that they don't understand the people they criticize and don't know anything about what they believe.
"This is a fascinating revelation from the Pew Research Center. In a new survey today, they found that most Americans - even religious ones - don't attribute tragedy to God. and they're surprised? - one of the highest purposes of religious faith is to help you cope with tragedy, not to assign blame for it. Tragedy is an integral part of life in this mortal, fallen world - it has always been here, it always will be here, and you can either find a way to deal with that hard fact or you can become a bitter, constantly angry person who's every waking moment is misery.

Sin-semilla (no dash) = without seeds. It's the unfertilized female plant. Back before retail product was grown without seeds, it was a big deal and you paid more but you didn't get a bunch of seeds. You still got stems and/or oregano in the baggie.

It might seem odd from here, but the Iranians hate the Saudi's even more than they hate the the Israeli's. To them, the House of Saud are usurpers of Mohammed's Sacred Legacy, who defile Mecca by their rule. They see them as Heretics of the First Order, who should all face Death by Fire.
plus if the Iranians can destroy the Saudi's oil production they will become fabulously wealthy. (they think, since the 13th Imam or whatever is supposed to protect them from being destroyed the same way) It's kind of ironic that even though we know that the Iranians hate America, we're actually pretty far down on their list of People they Hate the Most.

When I was in Macedonia one of the locals insisted that Alexander was Macedonian, not Greek. I'm not even sure how that came up in conversation, but he was pissed off about it.

They've got a young girl in there who is a pharmacy tech trainee. Wife tells girls she's gonna need her to do something new, and she's gonna show here. Girl pitches a fit, saying it's not time on her training schedule to do that. Wife says, well, no problem, you'll just learn a bit ahead of schedule, then. Girl starts crying hysterically that's she's not supposed to have do that. Wife tries to calm her down, and she says, "I need to be away from you -- I'm feeling unsafe!"

I'm recalling reading something about this -- it was a pretty good analysis. Constant stimulation by smart phones and related shit is a big par of it. The snowflakes are anxiety ridden, depressive, and have very little self-confidence and are risk-averse. They are afraid to fail so they don't want to try anything new, really. Helicopter parenting, safety culture, and all that shit is a big part of it. They've never been allowed to fail. They don't know how to handle it. Failure is how you learn. I remember as a kid trying to new things and fucking up big time. It was fun. And having to improvise and get yourself out of a jam with no one to call for help. You start out with baby steps as a kid, and move on to more independence. Parents and the culture do not allow that to happen, now. And that's how you end with that pharmacist tech trainee having a meltdown over having to do something new thrown at her out of the blue.

Example. I was a little boy, maybe 5th gradish or so. I was playing in the woods -- all by myself (gasp). I manage to step in some infernal hole some animal had dug. My foot wedges in that hole perfectly. It bent the ball of my foot. Try to pull my foot out cause my toes to dig in the side. Could not bend them back anymore. That tight bend was hurting, too. And there I am, stuck in the woods. Will hollering and crying help? No. I panic for a little bit, then I have to figure out what to do. I'm able to grab a stick, and start using it as a little pick to chip and dig around the hole. I widen it enough to get my foot loose. And I'm off on my merry way, and the more wiser to watch for shit like that. And also learned something about fast thinking under pressure.

And there I am, stuck in the woods. Will hollering and crying help? No. I panic for a little bit, then I have to figure out what to do. I'm able to grab a stick, and start using it as a little pick to chip and dig around the hole.
Yes, I remember doing shit like that as a kid. I got myself into this mess, you need to get the hell out of this mess before anyone finds out and knows you're an idiot. Posted by: Infidel at November 29, 2021 02:23 AM (LZkdC) 762
I widen it enough to get my foot loose. And I'm off on my merry way, and the more wiser to watch for shit like that. And also learned something about fast thinking under pressure.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at November 29, 2021 02:19 AM (Mzdiz) Problem solving. But there is something more than that. -not wanting responsibility by acting -being afraid of looking stupid by acting or offering an idea -wanting to defer responsibility ('not my job') This is not just kids. I have seen people closer to my age afflicted with those. Posted by: Aetius451AD at November 29, 2021 02:25 AM (csEWM) 763
Yep, my greatest stuck in the hole fear that my father would kill me for getting myself in such a mess. Hell, I'll be late, and he'll be pissed. If he has to come look for me, I'm gonna be in real trouble! Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at November 29, 2021 02:33 AM (Mzdiz) 764
Breaking through the ice on the creek in january in NoVa (it was, at most, maybe 2' deep) sure got one thinking, and running, fast.

Lewis and Clark journals were full of references about them. "Muskeetors Vurry Trublesum". Remember they were traveling in areas with huge open herds of buffalo as far as the eye could see in some places, elk, antelope etc.
Clark commented that in some areas, he thought the emaciated condition of some of the game animals was due to the "great clouds" of mosquitos descending on them, literally sucking their blood out. I fricking hate Mosquitos. Thank God for DDT, OFF! and mosquito nets. That shit, and flies, literally drives people crazy. And I'd expect they probably could kill people, or near enough, never mind Malaria. They had some old school repellents using Pine Tar and other natural stuff, but I doubt they worked very well.

Not an expert on theology, but my understanding is that all Christians , through Jesus, can be of the Chosen People, with our Jewish Brothers and Sisters. Posted by: Miklos at November 29, 2021 02:38 AM (QzkSJ) 767
Beautiful. Same trip visited Stalin's birthplace and museum, which are in his home town just south of that area.

Posted by: SFGoth That's a big one. Little bro and I did a lot of ice skating when we lived in socal. When we moved here there was a pond at the end of the street. (still is, just with a fence around it). When it froze the first time, we grabbed our skates and headed out. Got on the ice and it started to crack and move. I don't think we ever moved so fast. It's about 10 or so feet deep. Mom found out and skates were confiscated. We were thankful the wooden spoon didn't come out that time. Posted by: Infidel at November 29, 2021 02:43 AM (LZkdC) 769

Local property owner, Mr. Publius, found the body. He was real sorry and just couldn't believe what happened. He cried some tears, said that nice electrician wired his house just a year ago or so.

Addendum to coroner's report: A rusty hacksaw blade was found near the body of the nice electrician. A very young member of the medical examiner's staff suggested that perhaps a trap had been sprung for the nice electrician, and the hack saw blade was thrown to him to give him the option of sawing off his own leg to save himself from the fire ants. We conclude that young staffer watches too many movies. Mr. Publius assured us that he and his father lost no telling how many hacksaw blades on the property over the years. And besides, he doesn't know anyone around the area who could be that mean. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at November 29, 2021 03:04 AM (Mzdiz) 783
