But what I really wanted to do was keep talking about the Trump/Mamdani convo. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at November 21, 2025 07:22 PM (RfDQK) Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 21, 2025 07:23 PM (2sfNr) 4
I've been to that castle. a USO trip in 1992. It was pretty impressive, but militarily hapless.

Happy Friday, Ace. Sometimes after a hearty meal at the cafe, it's necessary to cleanse your liver with tequila.

My first criticism of chillwave is it sounds like it was mixed on a potato-computer.

The Seattle Aquarium just welcomed a new little sea otter girl to the raft. Her name is Ruby.
I may need to go and meet her this weekend. Posted by: nurse ratched at November 21, 2025 07:28 PM (k05yp) 15
The Café cleaning staff doesn't get nearly enough appreciation. The significant amount of overtime, not to mention the exposure to industrial-strength Febreeze they go through for the next few days after penguins have happy-footed through makes them saints, indeed.

So it actually happened? Posted by: FenelonSpoke ============== Yes, apparently, and I'm surprised it didn't get more coverage. Trump was his usual happy, cordial, approving self, but he was like that with that North Korean leader, too. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at November 21, 2025 07:29 PM (RfDQK) 17

Neuschwanstein was pretty cool, but there were other castles in Germany I also liked. We saw Frankenstein Castle, but it was closed for renovation, so all we saw was the exterior. Nicely creepy.

Blonde: I heard the Trump/Mamdani convo was surprisingly sedate. Nothing exploded, no one got called 'piggy,' and the press corps are shocked (and probably trying to concoct some lame controversy out of it anyway).

In Dubai there's two brothels: one that rents women, one that rents sheep/goats. Guess which one does better business? Posted by: qdpsteve at November 21, 2025 07:31 PM (cQHrm) 27

Schloss Johannesburg in Aschaffenburg was pretty cool. Had a tower from the original castle that was from medieval times.

Neuschwanstein Castle up top looks a bit like a steam ship plowing through an ocean of trees. Pretty cool.
In Tad Williams' epic fantasy Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, there's a Sithi (elven) community whose name translates into "Boat on the Ocean of Trees." Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at November 21, 2025 07:32 PM (IBQGV) 30

Wanted to ask you and others if you've seen any good movies lately. This year I've actually kind of wanted to see Weapons, Eddington, and maybe Bugonia. Posted by: qdpsteve at November 21, 2025 07:32 PM (cQHrm) 32

>>> What is a potato-computer?
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at November 21, 2025 07:30 PM (hZbnZ) It means not very powerful. A computer that could run satisfactorily on the voltage output of one of the potato batteries everyone made in grade school science. Posted by: banana Dream at November 21, 2025 07:32 PM (3uBP9) 34

Posted by: Pug Mahon, I Have Become Comfortably Lame at November 21, 2025 07:30 PM (0aYVJ) --- Oh, sure it's the CASTLE that was under "renovation" and not the monster. That's what they want you to believe. The Monster was getting some monumental upgrades. Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at November 21, 2025 07:33 PM (IBQGV) 36

I met a very accommodating young German woman at Neuschwanstein castle. She was very imaginative too. It wasn't in Autumn but early Spring. It might have gone on to a longer relationship but I was a stupid young man.

Blonde Morticia, me too.I thought the dynamics of PDT sitting and Mayor jihadi standing was most interesting. Posted by: Ben Had =========== I noticed that. And Trump gave him a pat on the arm in what seems to be the most standout moment of their presser. Reporter: "Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?" Mamdani: (starts uttering some glib syllables) Trump: "It's okay, just say it haha. It's easier." Posted by: Blonde Morticia at November 21, 2025 07:35 PM (RfDQK) 39
Would be willowered ...
Bif: what no public septic tank duty? Posted by: qdpsteve That was the 1st SGT's favorite punishment. I used to step out of the maintenance platoon's ECP and walk over to Shitter Row, and help the junior NCO punishment detail stir the shit in the barrels. Completely undermined that asshole. If Chief Bif wanted something in Bartertown, Chief Bif got it. Commander asked me once why, i told him the !st SGT was playing favorites and abusing his authority. I was merely offsetting his BS to keep the unit functional. Y'all may remember me talking about some of my troop's misbehaviours. My fuel handler was the one firing his .45 ACP through the roof of the all grader's club at Ft. Bliss. One of the launcher platoon's crew was the one stabbing randos on Dyer street. Bc bailed them out, busted them with company grade ucmj...then told them they belonged to Chief. If Chief said they were worthy, they got a 2nd chance. Yes. Yes, i was the unit boogey man.

Ladies, if you met a man wearing this ring, what do you think? Keeper, right?
----- I just read a story where a man puts on a ring like that and inadvertently summons the attention of Hastur the Unspeakable. To escape Hastur's attention, the protagonist uses the ring to transport himself to the realm of Shub-Niggurath. It doesn't go well for him there and he transports back, where Hastur awaits....

The coolest structure I saw in Germany was the "Church in the Rock" of Idar-Oberstein. It was about a 10 minute walk from the barracks, I would hook up with my Namibian gemology student girlfriend there at 5 PM on weekdays. No cellphones, had to make plans in advance.

I think the last person in an iron lung has died. Most weren't in it all the time, just when they needed the extra help breathing. There was an interesting article a year or so on what they had to do to k(+mUZM)eep an iron lung working, since the companies that made them are no longer in business. Posted by: Notsothoreau at November 21, 2025 07:29 PM In the Western Development Museum in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, there is an iron lung that was hand-built by a local farmer to save the life of his 5 year-old daughter who was stricken with polio. He used an electric motor and a washing machine gearbox. It worked, and saved the girl's life, and she was able to recover. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 21, 2025 07:43 PM (npFr7) 59
