The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg

"It seems that Joey 'Choo-choo' Biden was caught on video telling a laughably bizarre story about how, when he was a lifeguard at a public swimming pool in 1962, he faced down a black gangsta who was misbehaving on the diving board. Here is the video. The badass gangsta went by the name of Corn Pop. Seriously? Corn Pop? Now what kind of a gangsta thug names himself after a breakfast cereal, you might be asking. First off, it couldn't be a breakfast cereal. When the cereal was first introduced in the early 50s, it was called 'Sugar Pops' and, according to this source, it wasn't until the late 70s did Kellogg change the name to 'Sugar Corn Pops' and then, in 1984, to simply 'Corn Pops'.

"Therefore, in 1962, nobody could've appropriated the nickname 'Corn Pop' from a breakfast cereal since the cereal wasn't known by that name at the time. So either the name came from some totally different source or Joe is just making stuff up. He may not even be doing it intentionally. We all know that he's basically losing his mind, which is starting to resemble the the moldy old attic of a hoarder, full of yellowing magazines, rusty old toys, bits of string, maybe a broken chair or two, and chests of rotting, out-of-fashion clothes. So, in order to appeal to African-American voters, he probably reached up there, brushed aside the cobwebs, and pulled who-knows-what random elements from who-knows-what dark corners of his memory to piece together this story, and, as I said, he probably sincerely believes it happened.

"And the media has shown itself to be quite incurious about Biden's psychological condition. They'll discuss the inner workings of Trump's mental processes for days on end (always finding them wanting, of course), but ignore the obvious fact that one of the major candidates for president on the Democratic side is sliding into dementia in real time. I suspect this is because they think Biden is the strongest contender to unseat the hated Orange Man. But I predict that if they ever determine that another Dem candidate is stronger, the media will turn on Biden, and it will look like those child-like beryllium miners in the movie 'Galaxy Quest' suddenly displaying their fangs and devouring their wounded brother."

The allegation comes from a guy who was at Yale at the same time, who says that his best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw a bunch of guys put Kav's penis on some other girls hand. Oh, and the girl whose hand it was, theoretically, says not only that Kavanaugh didn't do it, but the incident never happened AT ALL.

So there I was, drainin' the big ol' blacksnake in the airport bathroom, when I saw it... some chump sucka done wrote this NASTY shit on the stall about AOC. My bottom bitch.

So, I did what I had to do. I came outta that stall with my razor out, and said "which one of you cheesy ass crackas is talkin' smack on my best ho?! Huh? Who is it?"

Then I saw Vitamin J, and I knew it was him. My momma didn't raise no fool.

And I'd have cut him too, if he didn't get the drop on a bortha with that chain. Always puttin' brothas back in chains. You know how it is.

101 I don't know from Biden's experiences in the 60s, but I do know lots of fellas with high levels of melanin, they acquire nicknames when they're kids growing up in their neighborhoods, and they can and often do hold onto those nicknames, well into adulthood.

So it's not uncommon to find a gangbanger with a nickname like "Smoochie" or "Little Bug" or named after a cereal, like "Cocoa Puff."

You're right, but since the alleged victim doesn't want to talk about it and no one can finger who exactly did this or if it really happened at all, I'll bet it's from the same source material.

have been segregated then.

Biden however... how does that even work? No one thought he got picked as VP for any reason than that he was the least likely to proffer any sort of legitimate chance of usurping Obama. He got elected VP, got a puppy, and retired.

He didn't even run when it was Her Turn.

Now it's the prez himself declaring the Fed chmn "doesn't have a clue".


Yeah it's crude and combative by historical standards, but given the complete abandonment of reason and decency to which Trump is subjected [they, not he, have "shattered norms"], it's minor and entertaining. Compare/contrast with, for example, this vile lynching to which Kavanaugh is being treated.

The Story of Luthien and Beren is the story of an Elf-Human match. Aragorn and Arwen are an echo of that story.

But the idea that Dwarves would mate with anyone else, or that anyone would mate with them, is ridiculous in the context of Tolkiens works.

Also, I think it's not a coincidence that all of the male elves look to be part of the Ambiguously Gay Crew. They're with all these beautiful females, and they can only be bothered to have kids maybe once every thousand years or so. Maybe that's how often they get drunk.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, The Winter Soldier at September 16, 2019 11:57 AM (DjIxe)

As to the origin of the Orcs, Tolkien commented on the fact that he had put a couple of different origin stories in his books - an alternate story is that they are related to the Wild Men of the Woods, the Druedain led by Ghan-buri-Ghan. (shows up in The Return of the King) Tolkien said he wanted the origin of the Orcs to be a mysterious, legendary thing, and it would be normal for several different stories to be floating around as to where they came from.

The Uruk-Hai were created by Saruman, and although it is said they are part human, there's no indication they were "bred", more like he found a way to grow them, something like genetic engineering. Which is why the movie shows them bursting out of a membrane buried in mud, fully grown.

417 This may be beyond most of you;

Back in the day before they made all milk homogenized, you would get a gallon of milk (In glass bottles LOL LOL OMG!!!) and the top of the contents was cream that had risen to the top while in transit (they also had a paper wrapper on the top and a thick paperboard stopper!!!!)

I used to race my sister to be the first to open the morning bottle of milk so I could pour that cream on my cereal. Yum Yum.

You can still get pasteurized only milk in gourmet stores or in rural places that have local dairies.

I get mine now from and Amish store 5 miles away. You can even get NON pasteurized milk (called Raw Milk) if you are okay with taking a chance on bacteria.

And thus our History lesson endeth.

436 One of the important discoveries of the 20th century was when they figured out how to attach sweeteners and sugar onto Cheerios.

With plain Cheerios, the sugar you'd put on always sank to the bottom. You could literally scoop up a spoonful of milky sugar as it lay at the bottom of your bowl.

437 As to the origin of the Orcs, Tolkien commented on the fact that he had put a couple of different origin stories in his books - an alternate story is that they are related to the Wild Men of the Woods, the Druedain led by Ghan-buri-Ghan. (shows up in The Return of the King) Tolkien said he wanted the origin of the Orcs to be a mysterious, legendary thing, and it would be normal for several different stories to be floating around as to where they came from.


The Orc had "life after the manner of the First Born", that is, they didn't die of old age, which is a particularly elvish trait.

470 364 I don't remember the book origins of the Uruk hai, "

Treebeard says they are men + orcs...
=======
Saruman's Uruk-hai were the result of Orcs and Men interbreeding in a crude form of Mendelian hybridization. It's inferred he got the idea from studying Sauronic lore; the Mordor strain of Uruk-hai emerged in TA 2475 to lead the drive that wrested Ithilien from Gondor and contest control of Osgiliath. Mordorian uruks were Orc 2.0, stronger, bigger, and more inclined to follow orders correctly. Sauron had bred them with Men in order to get rid of that weakness in daylight problem, and Saruman just used the Cliff Notes of the Dark Lord's research to make himself a "half-orc" force of uruks. Ultimately he got 3 main results: Man-proportioned uruks like Ugluk (desired result), orc-men of mixed characteristics (as seen by Merry, still useful), and some that can pass as unattractive Men (useful spies, as seen in Bree and the Shire).

499 Needless to say the inferred canonical version of the making of the White Hand's uruk-hai did not make it into Peter Jackson's movies.... Anyway, Tolkien believed in not dwelling on the wickedness of the world or lingering on the details of evil deeds. The observable result was bad enough. In his cosmology the author stated that an "orc strain" thereby survived in human ancestry, that actively sought and desired misery and destruction for others, and had subsequently thrived in our present day. I'd like to say he's wrong, but MS-13 is intent on proving otherwise.

The fact that no one is listening should tell everyone that there is no guiding hand at the DNC anymore.

Clinton had it in 2016, probably with a heavy assist from Obama's people, but her loss, the capitulation to Bernie fans, and the ensuing infighting (remember the white woman who resigned because she wasn't diverse enough?) is causing nothing but chaos in the place of the strict order that was 2016.

No one can claim control yet. If we get a clear and early winner in the primary season, that will get papered over, but what if the fight just keeps going? What if Biden flames out by SC? What if the moderate voters largely stay home and the primary becomes absolutely nothing other than a bunch of radical chasing radical votes and that goes on for months?

The Democratic Party is on a precipice of complete destruction, and I think they realize it but can't stop it.

As dumb as Gaylord is, I think he always realized Biden was a goof that appealed to some cartoonish stereotype he had about white voters. I doubt that having him on the ticket added many votes no matter what the "experts" say.

Elves were practically perfect in every way (physically), so no cavities. They weren't vegetarians either, as witnessed by all the hunting in the forest and the feasting at Elrond's house. Gildor's wandering company only had fruit and bread because they were not hunting, and properly baked bread and fresh fruit keep and travel for quite a bit.
