ONT 11/21/14 - On the Bright Side Edition [krakatoa]

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Horde. Here, in the dark days of our discontent under the surly rule of His Skittleship, Obama I, I'd like to remind you that all is not lost, and now, yes even now, there are things to be thankful for.

I took a moment to jot down a quick list of silver linings in these troubled clouds.


  • We easily have 3, maybe 4 months of shiny happy-times on the immigration issue, where the MSM will spend almost no time agitating for the inalienable rights of people in the shadows, and instead will be singing the praises of Obama and our newly refreshed culture.

  • Our medical facilities will be full of new and interesting people to meet. Granted, you won't be able to speak a common language with most, but at least you will be able to share a lovely conversation with journalists in to see about that thing that has lasted longer than 4 hours.

  • All you people who have been unable to find jobs? GOOD NEWS! You can expect no sudden changes in your lifestyle.

  • Like most of you, this past 6 years have been conspicuous in no small part for the absence of the promised Skittle-Shitting Unicorns (SSUs). According to an analysis by Jonathon Gruber, the SSU shortfall is mostly attributable to the fact that most Americans do not want to do the hard work of mucking out SSU stalls. This shameful hole in our workforce has now been rectified.

  • More new citizens means more new hobos. Hobos that can't read the sign that says "No Loitering", and are likely in a weakened state due to whatever 3rd-world creeping crud they brought with them. I can't be the only one excited to be adding some NBC gear to my trusty hobo-gig and Chinese finger puzzles.

These were just off the top of my head. Please do chime in with your own rays of sunshine, that those amongst us considering cashing in everything on a glorious blaze of SOTB, er, glory, may reconsider.

Gun Question: I've got one or two things that go bang.* I recently picked up a Taurus TCP that is surprisingly nice, but I'll be handing that over to the wife for a purse-piece.

For my own carry, I'm looking into either the Kel-tec PF9, or the Taurus 709 slim. The Keltec is lighter, but DA only, and seems to be a bit snappy. The Taurus is heavier, has a few more snaggy bits, but is DA/SA and reportedly is a really smooth shooter. I don't worry too much about the snaggy bits, as it will be going in an IWB holster.

Anyone here have much experience w/ either of these?


Forget everything you thought you knew! The KKK is now accepting Blacks & Jews. And that study doesn't actually show that Mary Jane shrinks Brain. His Most Honorableness Choomnenkamen will have to find another excuse once his college transcripts finally find the light of day.


I'd be more worried if the perps weren't Guinea bandits.

You know, if they were really serious about securing this stuff, they'd follow Silicon Valley's lead. Although, I'd suggest a slightly more robust model.



National Security is obviously the purview of the Pentagon. So it should be a relief to us all that they are on the cutting edge of preparedness and... oh for Pete's sake. Never go full Michelle Obama.


Good News? NASA sets new distance record in the teleportation of quantum matter.

Bad News?

evil Quark.jpg


Friday Night, Post-Election News Dump. 30 thousand Lois Lerner emails found. Who would have thunk the wildly improbable option of looking for stuff would actually find stuff? That's just crazy enough to work.


In honor of our gallumphing statism, tonight's ONT brought to you by MWNDs.

41 I have the 709 Slim, its my only 9'. Mine is great, smooth and accurate. Be aware that Taurus has some QA issues and the 709s were no exception. Buy it from someone very reputable, with a local warranty (not just the send it back to the factory warranty), and shoot the shit out it before you buy it.

It disappears under a shirt or jacket. I carry an LCR in my pocket more often now.

69 Remind me - when Obama proclaimed his amnesty program, did he also suspend the statute of limitations under which an employer can be fined for hiring people who he said he wouldn't deport? Or was that part left in the pocket of his other trousers?

Because just sitting and thinking it occurred to me that may be a very important point; considering how every one of his promises have an expiration date. The laws still being on the books though not enforced - sort of like how the state highway patrol doesn't enforce speed limits on one stretch of freeway until - surprise - they do.

I also recommend Contra Verres as his objectively most effective work (he fought the Sicilian mafia and won!). Not so sure about the Philippics (contra Antonium) - they did poison Rome against that tyrant, but in the end installed an emperor.

88 Following several reviews of Obami's immigration comments, I conclude that two groups of writers were involved. Group 1 wrote the first 8 minutes of the speech. Group 2 wrote the remaining 7 minutes of so.

Writer group 1 seem to have been temps, perhaps speech writers for John McCain or Marco Rubio.

Writer Group 2 were the regular team.

91 Miss Megan is waving her finger at Skeletor. I am enjoying visuals because Colmes is always muted instantly when his lying face appears.

Have to say on the despair front, it is in all honesty very hard not to go to a very dark place. I often wonder if this is how my great grandparents felt prior to WWII, or how our ancestors felt prior to the Revolutionary War, or how some of our families felt leaving their home countries to come to America. Each of these historical periods were full defeats, destruction and tremendous despair. Many people died. But America was still here, and survived. I take some comfort in the survival of America no matter what the world, or fascistic assholes have tried to do to her.

We here take comfort in the humor of the Horde. Despite all the shitstorms, past, present and definitely the future, you guys bring smiles to our faces, and liquid beverages jetting out our nostrils. Thank goodness no one here has had to replace a laptop, or other electronic device due to your hilarity!!! Thanks so much to one and all keeping us laughing, and sane. Yes, the Horde has kept us sane. Informed and sane, along with laughing our butts off is a really good way to endure this epic shitstorm.

THANKS HORDE A MEGATON!!!!!

The future will not be "1984" or "Brave New World," but "Paranoia":

Of special notice is the secret society known as the Wobblies. The game's backstory indicates that the Computer was worried about this society, and sent a pack of Troubleshooters to investigate. Since the society didn't actually exist, the Troubleshooters found nothing to report, and were terminated for laziness and insubordination. After a couple of Troubleshooter groups were thus disposed of, a newly sent group founded the society themselves in order to have something to report on. By the time the game takes place, a number of other secret societies have sent spies to join the Wobblies, resulting in a group that consists entirely of spies for other groups.

For all the slurring of those of conservative bent as being racists, is there a more virulent group of racists than members of the left and in the Democrat Party, specifically? And in the Democrat Party, the Congressional Black Caucus is shot clean through with the worst racists of all, for they have gladly and with malice aforethought sold their own people into spiritual and economic bondage. Throw in Holder and TFG for good measure while you're at it.

What do they offer to members of their own race? What do they challenge members of their own race to aspire to? A lifetime on the dole after having been inflicted with a substandard education in the public schools? And now, a kick in the face to knock them several more rungs down the economic ladder.

Their wizened and charbroiled souls deserve no less than the lowest circle of Hell.

With that in mind, I did buy a PF9, did some of my own buffing to smooth out the slide and feed ramp, and I've been very pleased. Very easy to carry, reliable, and a much better trigger than the Ruger LC9.

There's a fine line to walk between control, trigger and firearm size. I can keep the PF9 in my trench coat's slash pocket easily, but I prefer a slightly larger firearm when I can get away with it.

The options for ready condition match every level of threat.
The only thing you give up is magazine capacity. Against that is (a) the significant stopping power available, and (b) the extraordinary accuracy possible with a tuned piece. 50 yards takes practice, but it is feasible.
If you have small hands, maybe not the best. If you carry concealed and are not yourself large-ish, the large automatic may not be the best.

Geraldo might do O'Reilly Mon, then Hannity Tues, then Greta Wed.

Yesterday evening I was reminded that youth is wasted on the young.

Was driving home from work on the 101 along the coast, and three college-age couples were standing in thee median waiting to cross the freeway to their car parked on the other side of the three-lane northbound road. They had obviously stopped to watch the sunset over the ocean (it was admittedly quite beautiful).

So it's twilight, no one on the road can see shit, it's the middle of rush hour, AND THEY ARE WALKING AROUND RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE ROAD JUST AN ARM'S LENGTH AWAY FROM THE CARS PASSING IN THE LEFT LANE AT FUCKING 75-80 MPH, EVEN THOUGH THE MEDIAN WAS AT LEAST 50 FT WIDE AT THAT POINT, WAITING TO SPRINT ACROSS THE FREEWAY TO THEIR CAR.

If you want to stay in that price range I would suggest a SCCY cpx-2. It is very comfortable and has a higher quality feel to it. It also has some pretty good reviews looking around the web. My local store had one for $239.

I usually hate glocks. But the new model 42 seems to fit my hand very nicely. Its a tad bigger but to me was just in that sweet spot.

247 >>>>Not so sure about the Philippics (contra Antonium) - they did poison
Rome against that tyrant, but in the end installed an emperor<<<<

I don't think Cicero should get any blame for the Principate. The Senate had amply demonstrated its inability to run the empire, so some sort of monarchy was inevitable-- Augustus was probably the best anyone could hope for.

Cicero's problem was he was a ditherer. If he had shipped straight to Sicily after the proscription lists were published he probably would have been okay. Sextus would certainly have welcomed him and he would have been part of the general pardon for the proscribed under his protection when Sextus made his truce with Augustus. And to his credit Augustus honored all those pardons so Cicero could have lived out his life in a comfortable retirement or perhaps even found work shilling for the new regime.

Instead he couldn't make up his mind to go, or where to go, and turned back toward Rome and ended up decorating the forum.

269 Have a question for someone here, I posted the comment below on Breitbart in response to another comment and it was removed. Anyone know what goes over there can't figure out if I was to nice or to mean.



Oh, let them have their Thanksgiving, getting them away from Washington may actually help our cause.
The GOP has a lot of weapons available to them, the only thing that might be missing is the will to use them.
Lets
keep the conversation focused on The Magnificent One's actions and not
directly on immigration. Congress is the only body that decides what
legislation they will or will not produce (the only way to change it is
to put pressure on Congress but they are still the only ones that can
act or not act, no one else). That Magnificent Piece of Shit said he had
to act because Congress would not act. That should be the end of the
discussion about legality, he simply up-slurped the power of Congress
for his own beneficent.
I expect to hear a lot of noise from the
GOP and others trying to put words in their mouths. But we need to watch
their actions. And the first thing to watch is how they fund government
operations. If they just fund things for the entire year we are in
trouble, if they leave out appropriations for doing O's bidding on
emigration then maybe they will defend themselves against the upslurper.
If they pass short term funding, especially in bits and pieces I expect
there will be a good fight.
No matter what our feckless
Congressmen decide it is us that will have to do most of the work
keeping their feet to the fire. We need to make lots of noise and borrow
some tactics from the liberal crowd to keep the gushes' attention.

291 I think about self defense carry guns a lot. My employment at times has me wishing for one. My employer says no way. If I could, I would get something that went bang every time the trigger was pulled.Every time. Wheel gun. Second, big hole maker. In stressful circumstances accuracy tends to suffer. If I only get one round on target, it better count for something. Finally, it needs to fit in my jacket pocket. No holsters for me. Is there such a gun? Probably not. The 3" Ruger speed six is close, but they need to chamber it in 44 special or 45 colt.

My weapon now...a 40" long willow stick. Won't fit in my pocket, but it doubles as a walking stick.

296 I own a Kel-tec PF-9. It is the smallest 9mm I own. I don't suggest it as a carry gun or not as a primary. The gun has a tendency to fail to feed. Too easy to just slightly nudge the mag release.

If you need a gun that slim, go with a Kahr. If you have a little more wiggle room, go with a Glock, a 19 or 26.

If money is a problem and you NEED to decide between the kel-tec and the Taurus, go with the Taurus. Just make sure you test whatever load you're going to carry. Some can be finicky about feeding hollow points. At least mine were.

320 The Taurus TCP I purchased 5 years ago has about 400 round thru it. That is a lot of reloading right? 5 round mags!

I put steel cased Tula thru it, winchester white box, some premium and budget hollow points thru it without one singe issue. The sights suck, but I carry this as a New York reload/jogging/proximity defense weapon.

Worth every bit of the $200 I paid for it. Highly recommended if you are looking for a .380 pocket pistol.

Here in Commiefornia, there are just absolutely absurdly long lists of state government jobs who are permitted to carry.

If memory serves, dairy inspectors are on that list. To give you an idea of how crazy it is.

Here's a sweeping hint as to why.

If you are permitted to carry a firearm on the job (whether or not you actually do so) it's defined as a "public safety" job. Guess which categories of job have exceptionally favorable early pensioned retirement provisions in Commiefornia? No fair peeking!

I own a Kel-tec PF-9. It is the smallest 9mm I own. I don't suggest it
as a carry gun or not as a primary. The gun has a tendency to fail to
feed. Too easy to just slightly nudge the mag release.



If you need a gun that slim, go with a Kahr. If you have a little more wiggle room, go with a Glock, a 19 or 26.



If money is a problem and you NEED to decide between the kel-tec and
the Taurus, go with the Taurus. Just make sure you test whatever load
you're going to carry. Some can be finicky about feeding hollow points.
At least mine were.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards at November 21, 2014 10:55 PM (pWzW/)

I assumed from the guns he choose that he has a particular size and price in mind also. But I agree, compacts seem to be pickier about the hollowpoints than most full sized in my experience. Someone else mentioned the Bersa. And if 300 is your upper price point I would second that. If you are trying to stay near 200 then the SCCY is probably the best value in the group

Something the bright, clever people at Reason should have thought about when they began pushing for marijuana legalization. So now marijuana is legal, and it can be sold, which means it can be taxed. And if you decide you are going to grow your own, and maybe sell a bit of it - think again.

The guys busting down your door aren't going the narcotics squad, they're going to be from the state treasury office because you didn't buy a license to sell, reported that income, and so on and so forth.

It is sort of like Glenn Reynolds going on about how the drinking age should be lowered to 18. At a drinking age of 21 they will buy for the 18 year olds; at drinking age 18, they will buy for the 14 year olds.*


*Michigan had a bout with the 18 year old drinking age; my dad was a high school teacher then and he has told me it was interesting how he and other teachers encountered drunk students in class then, but not before and not after it was raised once more to 21.**

**One story was how a student walked into class after lunch, to the windows, and vomited before passing out. Such fun for the teacher - not dad, a colleague - since the student was a girl and had a short skirt and was showing everyone in the room her choice of underwear for that day.***

***I think it was red, the boys seemed to approve, so the story went. Had to get one of the female teachers in to help with the poor girl.

My buddy loaned me his baby G27 in 40 at a gun store with an indoor range. Sighted in and drilled a bullseye on the first shot at 15 yards. Put down his piece, walked out to the store and bought one for myself.

Added the full size a few years later. And the Kel-tec Sub2000 that uses the same mags. 3 guns, one caliber, one mag. I like simplicity.

412 I think about self defense carry guns a lot. My employment at times has me wishing for one. My employer says no way. If I could, I would get something that went bang every time the trigger was pulled.Every time. Wheel gun. Second, big hole maker. In stressful circumstances accuracy tends to suffer. If I only get one round on target, it better count for something. Finally, it needs to fit in my jacket pocket. No holsters for me. Is there such a gun? Probably not. The 3" Ruger speed six is close, but they need to chamber it in 44 special or 45 colt.

My weapon now...a 40" long willow stick. Won't fit in my pocket, but it doubles as a walking stick.

Posted by: fairweatherbill bucking the wind at November 21, 2014 10:54 PM


Wheel guns are the ultimate shit, at the end of the day.

I don't usually carry it, because it's hard to "package", but the Ruger Speed Six in a 4" .357 magnum would make big, great holes.

In a former life, I was married to an ER nurse, subsequently I hung out with / partied with a bunch of ER docs. In Flint, Michigan; they knew their gun-shot wounds. Their opinion: gigantic wounds from .44 Magnum; .45 ACP will fuck you up right now; 9 or 10 mm(aka "poodle shooter" thanks KtD) has bounced off people's foreheads, but .357 is forever

When I was a young man I worked at a service station. The old guy that worked the midnight shift had to go into the hospital and was going to be out of work for a couple of months. I volunteered to work the shift while he was gone.

The first night I worked the old man came by the station and he said, "If you are going to be out here all night you should take this," and he handed me a .44 Bulldog. "He said Remember, if you have to use it--shoot 'em in the face."

I always think of that as the unofficial motto of Charter.

There's s lot of advice on guns tonight, but don't forget about non-lethal items ... bear spray, stun guns, some zip ties and a cell phone.

A few problems with guns are that they attract the attention of the District Attorney, and are frequently lethal, attracting Even More of the District Attorney's interest and time ... as well as an assortment of seriously-aggrieved Poverty Pimps and SWJs.

We all need to carry, but we all need backup ... and opening up a can of Bear Spray on 10 or so SWJs is Very Much Easier than shooting all of them.

The threshold of opening up a can is much lower. You're trapped, but might not yet realize it, 5 fools roll up ... shooting all of them, first, just for being there, is tough ... but opening up a can at the first sensation of attitude, mouth or even just getting too close ... how tough is this? If you guess wrong ... much later, words and a case of beer should even things out.

The need to aim is almost non-existent (just wave furiously the Magic Wand of Bear Spray ***while SPRAYING***, and watch the SWJs teleport to another state) and ...

... what can the DA do? No stiffs waiting toe-tags, no ballistics, pepper spray isn't easily traceable, and prosecuting butt-hurt is a hard prosecution.

From what I've seen, getting sprayed usually causes the target to turn and run; they know it's not lethal, but it is an evening of pain. Getting shot ... some people, like wild pigs, will figure they will only live if they kill you need to see your intestines before they die.

443 As far as gun choice goes, the PF-9 is well worth the money, though it is a bit snappy. The Taurus PT 709 is a fine gun, though not made in the US.
Another budget gun (Under 300 bucks) is the SCCY CPX-2. It's a bit heavier than the PF-9, so recoil would be a bit more manageable. If you want to spend a few more bucks, I HIGHLY recommend the Smith and Wesson MP 9 Shield. List price is 449 bucks, though if you look around the net you can find them selling for a bit more than $350. I have one and the recoil is barely noticeable, and had no failures through about 400 rounds. I've heard they've gone 7000 rounds without a failure. As far as semi automatics go, reliability is probably the major concern.
That's my two cents, though accounting for inflation, it's probably about 75.

As to mushrooms, they taste (to me) kinda icky when raw, but I know they're 'neutral', but like tofu, they can take the taste of whatever (spices and such) they're cooked with. I chop them into slivers and cook'em with green beans+garlic+fresh ground mustard seed (usually french-cut beans)... they work well together.

You know what interested me about that Latin Mass? The church (a very large and beautiful old one) was full. There were many elderly people who would have remembered when the Latin Mass was the norm - but there were just as many younger people in their 40's, 30's and even 20's - many with 3, 4, 5 kids. People born after Vatican II. I looked at them and thought, "Counterculture? Here's your counterculture. Young Catholic couple in their early 30's, guy looks like a hipster, but he's at Latin Mass with his wife and 3 kids. You can't get more countercultural than that in America in 2014."

Do you have a white-guy afro, porn-stache, wide-lapeled shirt unbuttoned to the waist with gold medallions of some eastern mystical religions around your neck as you put on some music on the hi-fi?


If so, then you are mid-70's guy!

"Babe, listen; relax, this is Barry White. He speaks spirtiually. I'll light some candles - but only because it is you, babe - these candles are rare, the incense they give off is from herbs harvested by Budhist monks in a remote mountain jungle monastary in Borneo. They are very spiritual people, these monks, they denounce materialist trappings...smell the incense babe? Maybe you too are spiritual and should cast aside your material things....Just this night, cast aside all material cares, like that blouse and that bra....No worries babe - the hi-fi is on auto-changer; now how about the materialism you keep around your waist? Ever think of tht? How all must be subsumed into the giant cosmic womb of life?"

Not a huge armory for me, but I like the LC9. A little heft to it, but nothing too bad. If you have small to mid size hands, it would be fine. If you have large hands, it might be a bit awkward.

The only possible drawback I've found is that you need to have a strong/firm grip when firing. If you get lazy with it, the shells won't eject properly and it stovepipes.

as an "almost" victim of the "knock-out game", you realize that there is a potential of Round 2.

My thoughts on the subject are that drawing quickly enough in the situation you faced is "iffy"; unless you get enough lead time you'll fail. Going around, gun in hand, is a severe problem; even if you win, you lose ... hence my comment.

Carrying pepper spray in the hand, ready for a pre-emptive strike, is not nearly as much of a problem.

For liver, they're sorta like kidneys, you have to soak them in milk for a while to mitigate the taste. And, I may have to try cooking them w/olive oil instead of butter (and change up my spice combinations).

553 Dad and I would hit the Cracker Barrel on a road trip and that would be my fare.

I prefer their chicken-fried chicken, but their chicken-fried steak is always an excellent choice. And their cream gravy is fantastic.

This was the first time in a long time I'd made chicken-fried steak. Pounded round steak, salt, pepper, and flour for the dry ingredients, milk and egg for the wet stuff. Deep(ish) fried. 4 minutes per batch on the steak fingers, total of 5 minutes on the steaks.

And my wife made mashed potatoes.

Yeah. My employee handbook specifically says "no weapons," and that includes (specifically spelled out) things like tazers and pepper spray. They even *try* to say "not on the premises, and premises include the parking lot." Luckily on that, Texas Law trumps the employee handbook.

Considering my current client is a pay-day loan place (read: legal loan shark*)... yeah, no.

And the kids will be saying things to me?

What have you been telling them about me???

*begin declaration*

I am completely innocent, your father wasn't there and if he was he was
drunk, and if I did it I was also drunk and you should get mad at him
because he is your father and should know better than to hang around
with people like me doing those sorts of things! The example he is
setting for you! Getting drunk like that and witnessing those sorts of
things! The very idea, and now the father of two young, innocent, girls
like you? He should be ashamed of himself - you go tell him that!

*end declaration*


Pre-written denials are not necessarily common in my family (though some of the Canadians should look into that) but they aren't exactly...unknown...either.

I denounce myself.
I pre-traumatic event denounce myself back to *fumbles with glasses, old calendar* January 17, 1971.

ahem...that would be the aforementioned Glock 36...only a 6 round magazine if you don't have the +1 extensions, but the extensions do lengthen the grip out, makes it roughly the same size as a 19. Added bonus, gives you a full finger grip, bad part is you have to remember to loosen your grip at the bottom when you drop the empty out.

Little kids are funny - reality and fantasy blend so well - a shoebox with a face drawn on it can be as alive to a little kid an actual person. At the same time very rigid forms can be made - adults dress like this - kids dress like this. Mr Shoebox can't really do that (and will fall into other roles as fancy and needs take him - a garage for little cars or a bed for a little doll) but adults and kids and which is which - that's something to be sorted out and specific costumes (uniforms) really are helpful when you are little and still learning how to tell time.*

I agree with you that my life is worth more than my job ... but how often is one faced with that choice? It happens, but I've only encountered it once (First OJ Verdict while working in Berkeley).

Therefore my comment on bear spray. A small can, or 4, can be part of a briefcase kit ... add some toothpaste, deodorant, etc., ... who will know? Get an 18" 1/2" drive breaker bar and a few sockets from Home Depot or Harbor Freight for your car.

These are not as good as a gun, BUT they are quite useful and effective. Reaching for any of them is not particularly suspicious, and you are less likely to be fired.

Can a carried gun wait? It's your decision, but having an option or two is useful.

That might address a lot of the continuing problems. No citizenship to babies except those born to people legally here, thus no anchor babies, and no privileges extended out in concentric rings 9for the children).

Yeah -- last night we were talking about deceleration from 70 mph in a car hitting a brick wall and figuring how many inches you had. In this case, leaving an 18" deep imprint shaped like the guy on the Camry's roof, plus another couple inches of "give" from the springs or pneumatic tires, is the difference between having a pulse and being a pink smear on the road.

642 OK,


So I gotta admit I am surprised by something that strikes me as interesting. No matter what Obamagruber does, and no matter what the bullshit pubbies do while pretending they are going to do the opposite, the people are just sitting still taking it.


I ain't rabble rousing; I am just observing. I remember the big Tparty trip to DC where they apparently just went to clean up a park and not be counted by the media. I think the story then goes that: somewhere in the process they all stood next to Pelosigruber and called Lewisgruber the N-word but not a single recorder picked up the sound. (musta been some sorta vampire thing like where they are there but don't record on cameras and can't be seen in mirrors.)


But I digress. Anyhow, I am surprised that no one is rousing rabble. I am rabble, dammit. I am ready to be roused. I can be roused for more than 4 hours without seeking immediate medical attention.


Damn. I digress again.


Seems to me that the pubbies need a stiffer spine and the people are going to have to provide it for them. I would love to hear a good idea about how to do that.


I did like the idea of never inviting Obamagruber to congress again. But that is just a snub. I am looking for something more like someone shitting in his lunchbox.


Damn. I digress again. Whatever. Never mind.

As far as I know that's *not* the law.

Certainly in gun-friendly states, a lawyer suing a company after the fact could make that argument and possibly win. But my point was having it codified into law. If it were, a bunch of those "oh, and even having anything that might be construed as a weapon is a fire-able offense" clauses would disappear.

So, a story from an older CPA in San Jose....some years prior, he's got this client who has big problems with the IRS. At the time, to meet with 'em, you had to drive up to San Francisco and go to The Federal Building. The client drives 'em up there, parks the car on the street (like I said, a LONG time ago), starts to cross.....and the guy goes, "oops, wait a minute", goes back to the passenger side of the car, fumbles a bit, and starts crossing the street again.

The CPA goes, "what was that about?" And the client casually says, "forgot my piece. Never negotiate anything without my piece."

And, as the CPA recounted, he lost it. "Dude, that's THE FEDERAL BUILDING! They've got the FBI in there, they've got the Secret Service in there!!! Either you and your piece are going in, without me -- or you and me are going in there, without your piece....but you and I and your gat are NOT going in together!!!!!"

691 "fruz", meaning what?

Frozen. They won't get frozen.

If they had released the Grand Jury decision last week (when it was freezing) then any protester who got blasted with a water cannon would, well, freeze. Maybe not cartoon-freeze-into-a-solid-block freeze, but get very very cold.

With temps in the mid 60s, it won't be quite so bad.

If they'd released it last Monday, the high/low temps for Ferguson, MO were 27/18. If protesters had shown up and been sprayed by water cannons, they'd've had to clear the area to someplace warm and dry out, or just solidify in place.

Good story, and one to be remembered. Once when I was a new attorney I had to tell teh boss (over the phone; he was on vacation in North Carolina) that this one client I was going to represent the next day had said one thing to the Federal Bankruptcy Court and we had said something very different in state court just a year later.*

*No, the client had different attorneys in the Federal Court; I got authorization to pull us out and had to do it at the very last minute, such as in the circuit court (I had been licensed for about four months by then) during a hearing and ask that the now former client could get time to get new counsel; and I had to face all of those people and the judge and then the client (who was most unhappy) and remain calm and dignified as I stated the position of my law firm.


It did not help that there were people on the other party (this was the middle of the 1990's) who were militia-types who objected that the court's US flag had gold trim saying that made this a military court and they would not abide by martial law.


Faaaaaaark - look, I just don't want to get shot over a property claim about who............

I think he may be off the grid am worried about him!!

As far as I know, Hrothgar's fine. It may be an elderly family

Thank you.

Experto Crede

Drink a glass of water per unit of alcohol.

If you are planning on drinking until drunk, plan that glass of water per unit of alcohol. Also...

Avoid carbonated drink, drinks with tannins, or with sugars.

Preemptively fill you stomach, and then coat with milk, oil, fish.

Always, go in with someone to act as a boozy wingman.

Burn into your memory... if any doubt, just crash in a trusted location.

What you have to be thankful for is after all the nonsense is done, your lovely and talented ginger wife will be coming back to the home you share -- and it will be a home with funny and engaging people, toys, kids, and domesticity. And gardening....if you haven't gotten that little thing in the can, yet.

You can be thankful that you haven't pulled some dumbass maneuver that involved your cranium impacting geologic artifacts at reduced temperatures and visibility.

And you can be thankful that there's a bunch of folks who'll razz you about your lot in life while trying to cheer you up.....even if you wouldn't recognize 'em on the street.

"No place to park me motorcar.
It is easier to become {an emutar}
than to find a place to park me car."

(It's repeated several times throughout the song as well.)

What the heck is he saying in the "an emutar" part?

I know I'm totally mishearing it, but I can't figure it out. (Need to know for something I'm writing.)

God Loves us and we need to comfort those who find themselves in lesser circumstances than ourselves.

We find ourselves amongst God's Love willingly. Blessed are those who can find Family easily and without effort.

Amongst Family, (and friends), we are loved, judged and found amongst our places on God's Green Earth.

PLEASE find this time to be the sweet, sincere, beautiful individual that you've always been.

Posted by: CPT. Charles at November 22, 2014 02:34 AM (/mTq0)

===yep. never seen one do that before. it looked like it was digging for bugs. it would piss the moose off and the moose would lunge its nose towards the magpie. the bird would jump down on the grass and then back up on the moose's butt.

Posted by: weirddave


Wow -- I come from such a different universe.

Not only was my own dad a flippant half-assed beatnik who left a trail of abandoned children behind him like dung droppings from drunken grizzly, but all of his male friends and all of the fathers of the kids I knew growing up were also insouciant knaves.

It's not that my dad was ever mean, cruel, hurtful or crazy -- just that for him "fatherhood" was about 27th on his priority list, somewhere behind "Score more poontang while the scoring is good," "Where is that bottle of Olde English 800 I stashed under the seat?" and "7 come 11 baby!"

One thing I've always said about my dad that remains true to this day: "He'd spend his last dollar buying his kids ice cream cones -- but he hasn't had a dollar since he last it all at the track."

All I ever observed growing up was beatnik and hippie dads abandoning the very concept of parenting and the nuclear family.

People really just have no clue how devastating to the social order the "counterculture" was.

Yeah, it sort of fits, although it's not entirely grammatically correct. But, we're talkin' calypso dudes, here. I'm not entirely sold on it... I still suspect that it might be english, but, they're marble mouthing it enough that it's incomprehensible without formal lyric confirmation. There's plenty of examples of that sort of thing in rock/pop that doesn't involve heavy accent or local slang etc. However, without a clue as to what that english word is... the spanish slang thing fits, considering the origin of the song.

Zombie,

I'd say I'm sorry for your childhood, and I am, but that's meaningless. I can't change what happened, but you seem to have powered through how you were raised to common sense ( yes, that's filled with arrogance and assumption, but I don't feel like parsing it now ). I admire you as a commentator, you're the bee's knees. You've established yourself as an adult without peer in documenting the poison in our society.

As to the dad thing...that's just how I was raised, by my dad. It's how I seek to raise my kids. I wish it had been such in your childhood.

My father always worked his butt off and sacrificed so much time and energy to make sure we were provided for.

Growing up, my fondest memory was of him making French Toast on a Sunday morning.

Over a decade ago, he almost died (at one point the doctors told me Mother to "make preparations")

Both my sister and I had midterms, but thankfully we were accommodated.

I remember being the one who sat beside him most of the time. One day, when I came in, the nurses told me that he was doing well enough that they were starting to take him out of his induced coma. I of course let my mother and sister know.

Even though he doesn't remember, I remember grasping his hand and he responding by grasping back. Nothing has made me more happy than that. Nothing.

It's likely a promotion -- and indubitably in his best interest.

If you were to go into law enforcement, you'd have to go through an academy ('cause the skill-set isn't available at the local jc), and when you come out, you get assigned depending on your class rank.....which means that all the top-ranking officers get cushy, risk-free jobs patrolling high-rent districts with little crime. This includes any civil-service offsets for affirmative action or multi-lingualism. So you're more likely to find a Spanish-speaking black officer patrolling in front of a Gucci than in the barrio. Conversely, you'll find all the white officers of middlin' skill relegated to areas where people will strong-arm rob a convenience store and then wander in the middle of the street while stoned.


It should be noted that I view this with a jaded and severely disapproving eye.

But the fact is that Darren Wilson's law enforcement career had him stuck in one of the less desirable beats available. If he continues in law enforcement, almost anywhere would be a step up.

"President Obama's announcement tonight may bring a "constitutional

Congress haven't the damndest idea what they'll do about it.
As they departed the House floor, many en route to the airport for a

explaining why options floated by colleagues from their own party
wouldn't work"

That right there tells us all we need to know.

They have given up, and El Jefe wins.

And
we all know, if they wanted to do something they could have. If this
was reversed and the Democrats were put up against a wall, they would
fight this with whatever they had - and likely end up winning.

GOP is complicit. We need to understand this, the thing we need to
address first is not El Jefe and the Democrats, but the GOP, who are in
actuality fighting against us.

Guns. So I'm a 1911 guy. Never had a glock, not that I don't want one.

Hey cthulhu, I've I question for you.

What do you use to keep your knives sharp?

My best knives are Shuns, which are awesome.

Have a Spyderco sharpmaker, which does work, but it sure takes a lot of time.




Posted by: Mrs. Ida Lowry at November 22, 2014 04:38 AM (8N+Kq)


OK, so this is a reality-based answer....

I hardly ever use my good knives.

I mostly use Kuhn-Rikon "picnic-knives" and santokus instead, 'cause they can go in the dishwasher. I don't bother to work 'em with steel, and every-so-often I run 'em through a "Chef's Choice 120" to sharpen 'em (they're due).

I've run my good knives through the same sharpener -- even the asian ones. It tones 'em up to better than they were, but the Globals aren't what they used to be when new. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get a sharpener with both an asian and European bevel.

In the end, though, it's all about livin' with 'em.

Yes, I know that sharpener - and the attraction of non-expensive knives also. I do need to get some of those. You always see Julia on Americas Test Kitchen using them.

I think I'll do some knife sharpening today, good day for it.

Thx

971 I've had a PF9 for a few years now. It doesn't like hollow points so I use Pow'R'Balls for defensive ammo. I'm trying out XD-S as a replacement as I want something more reliable.

Oh well.

Posted by: Mrs. Ida Lowry at November 22, 2014 05:07 AM (8N+Kq)

973 Incidentally, my last acquisition was a Sabatier chef's knife from the Sabatier outlet. Possibly series 108. So it's not like I'm against having nice things.....but the Kuhn-Rikons are pretty decent.

Restaurant supply knives are there for people who are looking out for dollars and cents. As in, how much do we pay a guy to "cube 120 chicken breasts"?

Ginsu knives are for people who think the word "ginsu" is cool.
