How is everyone doing out there in Moronland? ![]() It's Nice To See Hunter Biden Working For A Living McDonald’s closes after customer says crack pipe found in breakfast orderAn Ohio McDonald’s was closed by health inspectors after a customer reported getting a crack pipe in a drive-thru breakfast order. The anonymous customer initially posted on Reddit about the disturbing find in his Tuesday morning order at one of the fast food chain’s locations in Columbus. He said he brought the bag back to the store, alerting a manager so that something similar wouldn’t “end up in a Happy Meal.” However, he declined an offered refund and instead reported it to Franklin County Public Health, the post said. Health inspectors then closed the location Wednesday after finding multiple health code violations during building work there, according to the Columbus Dispatch.Boy, Happy Meals sure have changed since I was a kid. Question Of The Evening Man's Best Friend I thought this cartoon dedicated to the cartoonist's dog was touching Our Broken Education System Teacher left in tears after principal confiscates pizzas she brought for hard-working students because 'it wasn't fair to other classes' I F'in hate this shit. * spit * “Equity” Parents of students of a class at Brody Middle School in Des Moines are frustrated since the principal of the school, Thomas Hoffman, canceled a pizza party that one of the teachers had arranged for her students as a reward for hard work. This was announced to the students months before and was an event that kids were looking forward to. However, once the pizzas were delivered and paid for, and just before the students could dig in, the principal came around and confiscated them. One of the parents shared this on Facebook and the post has since gone viral. Neil Erickson wrote, "My son attends Brody Middle School here in Des Moines. His class earned a pizza party that I believe the teacher paid for. He has been excited for this for days…telling me about it and how they earned it." He added, "Well today was the day. The pizzas were delivered to the class… the teacher paid and signed the receipt. Principal walks into the classroom and says 'I never approve pizza parties' or something to that effect. He took the pizzas from the kids and let them sit in the office for the teacher to pick up after school. Now my son and his classmates lost the party they worked hard to earn and the pizza I'm sure is wasted now…and the teacher was left in tears. I just cant believe it!"Where in the hell did the idea that it's wrong for kids to “feel bad” come from? I want kids to feel bad. I want them upset that they didn't get an “A” if they didn't do “A” work. I want them seeing other kids getting things that they didn't because the other kids earned it. I won't say that I want them to cry, but sometimes they need to cry. That's how you grow. That's how you learn. That's how you become an adult. Go, Canada Canadians Flee The Country In The Fourth Highest Volume In 73 Years Canada is set to have a banger of a year when it comes to resident outflows. There were 74,017 emigrants year to date (YTD), already hitting 79% of the total last year. The final quarter of 2023 can come in lower than the previous two years and still print one of the biggest years ever for outflows. Canada’s outflows have largely been ignored since record population growth obfuscates it. Most policymakers would point to the net increase as reason to ignore the issue. However, this dismisses an important point that is beginning to surface—if the people most familiar with a country don’t see opportunity, how long can it attract immigrants? In short, Canada is being run like a dodgy, fly-by-night credit card company. Its operators don’t really care about losing clients, as long as the inflow of new ones outpaces the old ones. At a certain point though, a reputation develops and turns into a warning for new clients. Canada may have reached that point, with study permit applications declining sharply, indicating future population growth won’t be so robust.If native Canadians leave but are replaced by an equal or greater number of immigrants from countries that do not share Canadian values and culture, how long before Canada stops being Canada and starts being the same as the countries they left behind? Especially as they are not expected to integrate? Put it another way, Afghanistan and Canada both have about 40 million people. If you snapped your fingers and switched them, do you think the former Afghanis now Canadians would be the same peaceful and friendly neighbors that the current Canadians are? The same thing is happening down here, there are just a lot more of us to displace, and we don't have anywhere to go. Although, given recent events, we might start to echo Jason Isaacs' character in The Patriot, bargaining with Cornwallis for his spoils: “So, tell me about...Argentina”. Look! A List!

This is supposed to be an update that I found about the poopy pizza principal:
By late afternoon, Hoffman had issued a public apology, saying he was “overly strict” in applying the school’s standards. Several restaurants planned to send pizzas to the school on Friday, the newspaper reported. Hoffman welcomed the move. “We’ll gladly welcome any donations, and arrange for a nice send-off for our 700 students on the last day before winter break,” Hoffman said.

A few years back there was this nice little (1/2 acre) lot for sale in town on a hilltop. Just when I finally got the money together to make an offer it got yanked off the market.
Now it's up for sale again, but the cash went into something else so I'd have to arrange financing. It would (eventually) get me out of the damn HOA if I went for it.

T = 03:27 Zulu, 10:27PM EST. We have solstice, Sol-stice, sun-still. Astronomical Winter begins. Sol's right ascension is 18:00:00h and his declination is -23d26'17.9". According to Stellarium, that moment occurs at 03:27:20 Zulu. This is the moment of turning. This far south and no more. Sol has reached the lowest point on the ecliptic, and now heads north. The days will be getting longer, slowly at first, and then picking up speed as Spring approaches. In an ironic twist of fate due to perihelion being near the solstice, while today is the shortest day in terms of daylight, tomorrow, the 22nd will be the longest solar day of the tropical year, 24 hours and 30 secs, defined as the time between successive high noons.

That first anecdote hits home lol.
As for the list, sure the point is debating, but much presentism there. No Lonesome Dove or Frasier? What about Wings and NewsRadio? No North and South (since they included mini series)? So, checks notes, “no jack horseman”, was better than all of the above? And how could you have the daily show but not the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson? I agree with mash Dallas and many others as being impactful. Some of the others mentioned probably couldn’t fill a small college football stadium with their fans and viewers.

{127} Wonder how many of those Canucks leaving are immigrants going back home.
Posted by: Montec at December 21, 2023 10:32 PM (BW97Y) https://is.gd/IKbQ5p Snippet: This means that an abnormally high number of immigrants who were granted permanent residence between 1982 and 2018 preferred to leave the country between 2016 and 2019. The study also said the number of immigrants leaving the country has generally been on the rise since the 1990s. "We are now seeing people who are coming to Canada and then saying, 'Ah, no thanks,' and moving on," Daniel Bernhard, ICC’s chief executive, said. "And the number of those people are increasing. We have to believe that the lack of availability of housing, of health care, of other types of services are part of it." Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at December 21, 2023 10:52 PM (qPw5n) 195

I saw it last year and was shocked they did not edit the blackface musical scene. yeah, that was funny to see. however, what is interesting is that the black cook was earning the same fee as everybody there, she was not just the hired help, she had equity, or profit sharing, same as white guys.

Everything is just a matter of personal taste, so of course a case can be made. I watched every episode of BCS too. I much preferred BB. I thought BCS was too centered on Saul's gf, & that SHE was the real star of that series. And I thought she was kind of a pill. In addition, I never bought into the character of Saul's brother. Never found him convincing. Also, I don't LIKE watching fictional lawyers discuss legal issues. All of that said, I did enjoy BCS. It was funny, & that compensates for all the things I mentioned.

I liked that series early on, and less and less as it moved from "monster of the week" to "evil government conspiracy". I guess I wanted fiction instead of something entirely believable... Posted by: 18-1 at December 21, 2023 11:15 PM (XqcwY) Same here. I started rewatching it a while back and man it kinda sucks in retrospect.

268, I am no expert by any means, but I have tried to learn a bit about sitcoms pretty much just by watching them. One thing I’ve learned is the endings can be really weird. Some of them like Seinfeld, Frasier, and MASH had planned endings and made a real big point of it. You could also add Friends to that list You have others like everybody loves Raymond, and just shoot me where the ending is barely even hinted at. The difference is the last shows mentioned weren’t sure if they would be back or not.
I think everybody loves Raymond benefits in syndication because it basically has no ending. Another funny thing about sitcoms is how often the point of the show and the characters themselves often change from the pilot episode, because the pilot was normally shot a year or two before the following episodes were made. Wouldn’t they are actually picked up then they decide oh crap we need to make a show. Posted by: Quint at December 21, 2023 11:21 PM (orTEU) 307

One of the differences is the millennials and zoomers were actively taught to hate everything predating their birth as part of their education immersion. One of the truisms we are taught in history education is to overcome the student's belief that the world began on the date of their birth.

My problem with "best of" lists, is my natural aversion to the Following of the Herd, dating back to my earliest years.
So, when everyone was breathlessly discussing the latest Seinfeld, you can be sure, it was a show that I hadn't seen. And mostly now, still haven't. Same with so many "must see" shows. Friends, nope. All of those "coming of age (teen)" shows? nope. Kotter? HELL NO. Also kept me from spending money on whatever was "in style" at the time. Never bought Members Only, or any popped collars, skinny jeans, and an endless list of "etc", along the way. Even as a lifetime motorcyclist, I never bought into the "biker" costume thing. Never have owned a biker vest, never will. Nor a wallet with a chain. And the only online stuff I sign up for is AoS, and Anti-Social-Media. My lawn, is scantly tread upon, if much at all.

I quit reading the list cause I got bored and it started loading slowly and I could already see a bias towards "shows that can be read as promoting modern Wokie thinking". Plus before I quit it was in the 40s and they hadn't mentioned Justified yet which was the greatest show of all time without adjusting for period. There is a thing where something that is truly groundbreaking gets copied so many times so when people who have no sense of history experience the original they think it is boring and lame.

A silencer for a .22 is easily improvised from a 16oz plastic soda bottle and some duct tape. Oops, I didn't say that and I was never here.

Good evening, good people. Or should we say Happy Winter's Eve?
One day in the next two months will see our annual Game Dinner, there's 8 of us (immediate family) plus a few selected individuals we hunt with, never more than a dozen all told. The menu is everything we hunt--deer, elk, moose,antelope, squirrel rabbit grouse ducks geese plus whatever I forget. Usually runs a weekend at a couple of houses and is intended as a thank you to Ma Nature for her bounty and a means of not wasting any of that bounty. A tradition that goes back to the 70's.

Apparently, Jackie Gleason had seriously considered suing Hanna-Barbera Productions over the similarities between The Honeymooners and The Flintstones. However, the comedian chose to let the matter slide because he didn’t want to perceived as the man that put an end to the beloved prehistoric family. Whether The Flintstones was a rip-off or not, audiences loved it. Perhaps wisely, Jackie decided to take the animated homage as a compliment.

421 I used to do that in the 80s and 90s. The key point is I did this in so-called liberal areas. I wasn’t trying to make a point other than just standing up for myself but I did call out professors and teachers at the high school and college level. it is sad that now that is an active defiance because I promise you I did call them out.
I look at areas of the country that were considered liberal at the time you’re northern Virginia’s and so forth. The reality is it wasn’t long ago when even the hard-core lefties allowed dissent. I think we gave that up too easily and to be honest I think it is our side that failed banning one side of the political spectrum can only work if the banned side accepts it.

It wasn't just that audiences loved it, but that it appealed to almost everyone and that includes kids. I was in my teens before I learned that The Flintstones was originally an adult show. Heck, I learned the word "droll" from it, as Fred said to Wilma in one particular episode: "Droll, Wilma. Very droll." The Flintstones is brilliant.

Mad Men captured the gestalt of the early '60s like no show I've seen in the modern era. You'd have to watch shows FROM that era, to even come close, and they'd pale behind the DISTSTILLED gestalt that Mad Men bottled from those times. I grew up in Southern CA in those times. Immediate post-Mid Century '50s furniture, "mod" lamps, accessories, but still the times of trim suits and narrow ties. And cigarettes and smoking, everywhere, all the time. I can go back to 1962 in my mind, in a blink. Or, watch a rerun of Mad Men. Same same. (including the Pan Am ads and decor. Same same.)

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at December 22, 2023 02:16 AM (Mzdiz) Columbo was, Perry wasn't. I don't think, read it a few hours ago now. Don't remember. Posted by: OrangeEnt at December 22, 2023 02:18 AM (Angsy) 477

Indeed. And with no malice towards any, I'd march the route both ways, to the end. In honor of Neil. R.I.P, age 33. He had marched it several times, till he married and moved to Glasgow, his bride's home. I was just there in August, when his older brother re-wed, this time to a WORTHY lass, to be sure.

"My Mother the Car" goes down in the lore still as the "worst TV show ever" for some reason. But then I watched it, and, compared to the shit and drivel they put out now, well, it's nowhere near the worst show ever.

I admit I have never heard of some of those shows. Some of the best were bought and broadcast on South African TV, specially when British Equity imposed a boycott on British shows making it south.
Glaringly absent is the Dinosaurs series. Fantastic show. One of my favorites is when The Baby is kidnapped by the Food In The Fridge and the Food demands 30,000 helicopters and One Dollar as ransom.

All these lists, songs, music, films, TV, should never be ranked since it's a very subjective process. They can be numbered but in no particular order otherwise the list ends up being endlessly rearranged as people's individual preferences get involved, and on top of that, preferences change over time.

No sign of outside Mama and two babies. We have a few theories and are not worried, just sort of disappointed as we were looking forward to meeting the kittens.

Hoping along with you, Ciampino, that Outside Mama & babies have a nice home or protected space to go to.

True story: several years ago my BIL called his sister in AUS to wish her a Happy Christmas. Apparently typed the Skype a few digits off and woke up a total stranger.
And strangely enough, even after they figured out what happened, they had a pleasant conversation and wished each other all the best for the New Year. One of the more surreal Christmas memories. : -)) Posted by: Adriane Watches Too Much Stuff on Ewe Tube . . . at December 22, 2023 03:29 AM (4Winp) 517

Any list that has Watchmen on it but not any of the many many excellent sci fi shows that aren't X-Files (terrible last season), STNG (which had a terrible first season) or Buffy (overrated even though I liked it at the time) is Dumb with a capital D.
The Watchmen movie, flawed as it is, at least had some resemblance to its graphic novel. The show was just SJWs with superpowers. Posted by: Jon at December 22, 2023 12:33 PM (H4mKV) Processing 0.09, elapsed 0.1063 seconds. |
