Night Before The Night Before Christmas ONT

Oh! Hi Horde. Didn't see you there. Two days to Christmas, who's ready for an ONT?

Phillips Crab House Closes in Ocean City After 66 Years

Phillips wasn't the only crab house in OC, and it certainly wasn't the best place to eat crabs, but it was the most iconic, and it was pretty hard to resist dropping in for a meal when you're downy oshun. Say, I wonder if I can get them to re-open in Galveston?


A Smart Military Blog


Biden Bans Conservatives and Christians from the Military

We're not qute there yet, but this is exactly how they will do it. Greenfield is spot on in his analysis of the endgame here.

The purge goes even further, reaching out to punish anyone who engages “in electronic and cyber activities regarding extremist activities, or groups that support extremist activities – including posting, liking, sharing, re-tweeting, or otherwise distributing content”.

A service member who “likes” a Facebook post from a conservative group is now an “active participant” in “extremist activities”.


You might claim that the article is making pie-in-the-sky projections based upon a paranoid mindset, but I ask anyone who hasn't been under a rock for the past century if this is not exactly how the left always advances its agenda. You're a fool if you don't see where this is going.


Question Of The Day

I've been listening to Christmas music for the past few weeks. I enjoy it as part of the ritual of getting into the spirit of the season. I'm sure many of y'all have been doing the same. However, no matter how much you like Christmas music, there's always that one song. You know the one I mean, that damned song. That one Christmas song that you absolutely hate.

Now, I'm not very hard on Christmas music. I actually like The Little Drummer Boy, and can abide Dominic The Donkey, at least the first 3-4 times I hear it. The Red Shoes is putrid, but it usually gets a eye roll and station change rather than something more drastic. But there's one song, one damned song that I hate more than all the others. Listening to Scandinavian death metal puts me in more of a Christmas mood than this song.

When Does A Conspiracy Theory Stop Being A Theory?

Archbishop Vigano’s Message to America


DEAR AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEAR FRIENDS, for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal side effects. We all know how much the mainstream media has contributed to supporting the insane pandemic narrative, the interests that are at stake, and the goals of these groups of power: reducing the world population, making those who survive chronically ill, and imposing forms of control that violate the fundamental rights and natural liberties of citizens. And yet, two years after this grotesque farce started, which has claimed more victims than a war and destroyed the social fabric, national economies, and the very foundations of the rule of law, nothing has changed in the policies of Nations and their response to the so-called pandemic.

I don't know a thing about Archbishop Vigano, and the source is GP, but it's an interesting letter.


A Leftist Becomes Disillusioned


The Turn

I don't know if I'd have any common ground with this guy on policy, I suspect not. Even leftists who are disillusioned with this particular iteration of leftist government often can't get away from the idea that “some other” all controlling entity would be a good thing that would lead us all to Utopia, but I suspect that we could have an honest conversation about it. And that's a start. And hey, some times hardcore leftists do come to realize the eror of their ways and embrace the light, see Sowell, Thomas.


Related: What's Happening

Now, as any good cult does, these Communists have an eschatology, or end-times mythology. This mythology is based in alchemy, and the belief that just as there is a seed of gold under the nugget of lead there is, too, a perfect world under the bad one. They believe that by stripping away the bad world that they will reveal this utopia. They, being structural determinists (believing people do not have agency or free will, but are simply products of their culture), believe that by tearing down the pillars of society (believing they are a dam holding back utopia) they will collapse the bad world into the good one. All of the destruction you now see, and cannot comprehend, is being done on purpose. It is an attempt to end the (bad) world.


However, before they can truly end the (bad) world they need to awaken a revolutionary critical consciousness in enough people. It was Marcuse who came to believe – after the western Marxist revolutions failed – that the development of the “middle class” after the industrial revolution caused too many people to become too contented with their lives to be revolutionaries. He, as part of writing this grand plan, made quite clear that the masses must be made miserable to make revolution preferable to continuing on with their nine-to-fives. This is the heart of it. This is a tough pill to swallow. Take a look at all that is wrong now. They are hurting people on purpose.

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear...

82 Evening Horde. Mrs IMG and I are spreading Christmas out at a manageable pace this year.

Tonight was SIL and Grandson the Elder. Only half an hour searching for a stocking-stuffer level gift for SIL that Mrs misplaced. Turned out, she didn't misplace it. She mis-tagged it for GStE. Heh. Had a joyous evening. GStE is 11 now and not as cuddly as when he was much younger and Mrs IMG misses that. She grudgingly admits he's now (well, 90%) in the hands of the men folk now.

Tomorrow is with her sister and my BIL. So, I have a grocer run at dawn scheduled.

Christmas is with Son and his Lady. He's smoking cornish game hens and I am smoking a leg of lamb. He's 45 min away, so I'll finish it there. The ladies are handling the sides.

Next week, taking my Mom out for a nice dinner (before Mrs IMG's surgery on Thur). Next Fri is a veg out on bourbon day for me. Don't worry, I'll put her pain med doses in ziploc bags beforehand.

Merry Christmas, all you miscreants and reprobates!!!!

A bunch of years ago, when the Feds mandated the analog to digital TV signal conversions, I started getting the Korean Broadcasting System station and along with it an introduction to K-Pop music.

That's a good way to consider it, and is also how I feel about Minnesota. Had I bought a nice house in the burbs in the 80s, and thus gotten in when the getting was good, it would have been a much more comfortable experience. As it was I was just one of the many Morlocks breaking even in Rentville despite having a theoretically high paying STEM job. But hey, the oldsters who control local and state government always get their 10% per year house value increase and that's the true meaning of life, right?

This is going to blow back on MN a lot sooner than it does CA, because at least the CA Morlocks have the nice weather. I wonder if No-Balz and co realize how much of an existential threat remote work is to their system.

They've already done a lot of that. Tier 1 tech support, for example, is usually phone support from outside the country these days. Also, given how many people in tech are green card employees brought in explicitly because they cost less than American workers, who's to say that it hasn't already happened to a certain extent?

Thing is though, as you allude to they already tried that once and it was a raging disaster. Maybe management is stupid enough to do it again but it'll just end up the same way.

If companies were smart what they'd do is ask their employees to be onsite maybe one day a week so a 2-3 hour commute on the long day is viable. So, for example, a company based against all logic in the People's Republic Of Minnestoooopid could keep its office there but employees could live in the Free State Of South Dakota or the Occasionally Free State Of Wisconsin. And if Looting Day happens to fall on that onsite day, well, maybe this week's onsite system testing can wait.

I love pop music. I love George Michael's pop music. I took my wife to see him at MSG for what turned out to be his last concert in NYC, and we both loved it, even though I had a feeling that I wouldn't be seeing him live after that night.

That said, this song, while it has an incredible hook which makes it earworm bait, just repeats the same verse over and over again, and it's not anything like a Christmas song, other than the fact that his heart was broken on Boxing Day - which isn't even Christmas. It annoys me. I hate this song. The fact that the hook stays in my head even though I hate the song makes me hate the song even more.

242 Raimondo said Thursday on CNN's "New Day" that President Joe Biden's leadership "has overseen the greatest resurgence in an economy," adding "greater than any other president that we know of."

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at December 23, 2021 10:54 PM (63Dwl)

I don't think anyone added more jobs to the economy than Trump did during the depths of the government-generated C19 depression last year. At one point, IIRC, we had over 20 million unemployed, and the MFM was expecting that number to extend into November, ending Trump's reelection chances then and there. The economy added enough jobs to get us back to the unemployment level that Trump had when he took office back in 2017. That's adding jobs.

243 Yeah, I've seen that. Merle imitated everybody, that was part of his show. He was really good at that. Marty Robbins gave him that look for just a second "You SOB" ha ha. Cuz he was good!

I only really remember Merle when he was a bit older and looked like he got ran over by a truck and was hung over. He looked a lot different back in the day.

Been a long, tiring few days. I'm doing Christmas dinner, etc. I'm the only one getting ready for the holiday. Tonight I was able to take a shower at 1120pm. Good times.

Tomorrow will be just as busy.

Ho, ho, horseshit.

I'm trying horde.

Good series and supposedly somewhat true.

506th "Easy" company existed. A lot of the shows had interviews with the real surviving members of 506th E company. The characters in the series had real -life counterparts. I can imagine some things were kind of amped-up melodrama, but most of it was fairly true.

The REAL Dick Winters talked about it. One of the things the got wrong was the one character Albert Blythe, who was wounded and supposedly died after the war. He actually lived, and later served in the Korean War. He was not the lackadaisical PFC portrayed in the show.

If the data showing that (1) the vaxxines weaken people's immune systems and (2) the vaxxines only provide temporary protection against the original COVID and not future variants, then this makes sense.

As far as I know, everyone is still receiving shots and boosters that were all designed for original COVID. So millions upon millions of people now have protection against a virus/disease that is no longer spreading and a weakened immune system to fight against (1) future variants and (2) all other viruses/illnesses.

So this leaves people susceptible to get sick from a non-COVID illness, go in the hospital and then "test positive" for COVID. And they'll be counted as a COVID illness. Perfect scenario for Plandemic to continue.

The general message of the article was that saying "sorry" shows weakness. I have no idea how that came to be. Personally I consider someone who apologizes for something to be owning up to a mistake or insult of some kind and that that shows a sign of strength. But what do I know.

399 If the data showing that (1) the vaxxines weaken people's immune systems and (2) the vaxxines only provide temporary protection against the original COVID and not future variants, then this makes sense.

I think that acquiring immunity through infection is a lot more effective against Omicron than being vaccinated (due to Omicron being so different). When you say that "the unvaccinated" are less likely to get Omicron, what you are saying is that the group of people more likely to have had a prior infection are better protected.

I'm wondering if the same holds true for illnesses in general. For example, I have never gotten a flu shot in my adult life. I'm 45. I think I needed to get one at 14 before entering high school. But that's the last time I may have gotten one. I have never had the flu. I also rarely have been sick in general in my adult life. In the past 22 years since college, I can think of two times I have been sick more than 2 days. Sinusitis about 5 years ago and stomach flu or food poisoning (never figured out which it was) about 4 years ago. That's it.

I wonder if there are people who have likely unknowingly been 'infected' with COVID, but had no symptoms and just went on with life as normal, because they have great immune systems.

I get to keep my job yay WFH and I don't get a vibe of any of the immediate group I work with being scared silly of the un-vaxxed. But I did call in to a townhall they held in October and there were a lot of Qs from staff wondering if mandate exemptions will be made known cuz they want to know who they have to be really germ phobic with. So I feel like I should avoid out of office activities cuz there might be quietly paranoid folks even in our small group. Even with just co-workers it is just sad to feel like they might fear my presence, as though I might be a typhoid Mary equivalent.

Well known to Horde fall through a skylight, resulting in way F'd up right shoulder, also self-rehabbed into fitness. And many other past injuries, going back decades. Whole lotta us Morons are toughened up through lifetimes of work, injury, pain and recovery. Not the pseudo toughness of gym rats, but real toughness, the kind earned through blood, broken bones, stitches and scars.

LOL. I once went to a conference in Phoenix during the winter. It was in the 70's in Phoenix, and ice storming at the Portland airport.

Most of the airlines had shut down, but Southwest was still operating. We got on the plane, and the pilot got on the horn, and said that we were going to wait for the deicing truck to get deiced, and then we'll go.

The truck came up, deiced us, and the plane started backing up as soon as the truck was clear, taxied to the runway, made a right turn onto the runway, and the pilot gunned it down the runway without stopping (deicing doesn't last very long, and the pilot had obviously finished all his preflight checks at the gate).

I thought: "I like this pilot."

Standing up provided relief from that, but only momentarily. Couldn't stand still. Walking, pacing the floor helped, but makes sleep difficult. Never did figure out what the hell that was. Food poisoning?

I was blessed with a hyper alloy combat chassis for a skeleton. I should have broke bones many times and didn't. I raced motocross from around 15-18 years old (music killed that, lol), and some of the wrecks I had should have had me in a cast, but not one broken bone during that period. I got hit by a car when I was 7, well the car hit the front wheel of the bicycle, and I was tossed over the car, cleared the rest of the street, and landed about 10 feet into the woods. I only broke my pinky.

474 Got into a car accident in 1989. Hit a patch of ice on the road, Mrs b was sleeping sideways in the front seat as we were going to hit a pole at 40-50 mph. I jumped on her to shield her from the impact because she would have broke her neck sure as shit. I took the brunt of the accident. I broke the gauge cluster off the dashboard and it was hanging by the wires, bent the steering wheel over, broke the windshield with the back of my hand while stopping her head from hitting it, broke another section of the windshield with my head, broke the rear view mirror off, and dented the bottom of the metal part of the dashboard with my knees. I only broke my nose.

Sometimes i wonder. That accident was bad. When I went to see the car the next day at the wrecking yard, the dude who let me in the yard was standing by the car and wasn't saying a word. When I saw the dents in the dashboard I said "shit, no wonder why my knees are a little sore". The yard dude perks right up and says YOU were driving this car??? I said yeah, why? He says "I thought the person driving this car died in it, I didn't want to say anything". Of course when my asshole brother went to see the car he looks in and says, "soo, your frigging nose did all this shit"? lol

Many years ago, summer job from college, was working on a mineral site near the tiny village of Carmi, B.C. There was a forestry road that went over the mountain range from the West Kettle valley to the town of Penticton, on Okanagan Lake. Some hippie with a '46 Dodge pickup got stranded on that road, and wound up selling it to Jim, the local prospector, for a C-note. Jim put a new fuel pump in it, and it ran like a pup. Fast forward two weeks. I had a day off, and Jim's son, known as Sonny, offered to take me on a ride up the East Kettle Valley to go look at a car for sale, so off we went in the pickup. Coming back, he was sriving too damned fast, drifting that tall skinny thing through the bends in the gravel road. I said, "slow down, Sonny, you're going to roll this thing." No sooner had I spoken, but he dropped a rear wheel off the road, and we rolled onto a flat studded with boulders.

493 One of my shootin' partners was a no-shit former SF type, then a private Corporate Mercenary, operating a LOT in the Tunisia area.

Hardly a nick anywhere on his seemingly velveteen hide, anywhere. But the dude had spent a decade In The Shit, and had a credible body count in the low 100s. As in witnessed, documented and duly (often grossly) photographed.

Only apparent wear and tear on him was his elbows, from lots of shooting from the prone.

Most of us got toughened up through lots of wear, tear and abuse. Friend "X", well.. nicest guy you ever wanna meet. Mr. Nice. Stateside, anyway.

Yeah. IIRC, the series 'tried' to do something about getting the knowledge or fighting style added to your own of the vanquished, but it never really worked.

In an RPG, you would almost have to do it as base line XP (earned by just living and fighting) and Hero class xp (earned by defeating immortals.) The question is: what abilities do you give the hero class? Lot of passives, I say.

The coal seam fire in Centralia, PA that has burned underground for decades now reputedly started from the town burning trash in their dump. The combustion got into the coal seams beneath the town from a seam that was near the surface.

That was a clusterfark from the outset and now the area of the town is unlivable and nearly everything is demolished. A person affiliated with our scout troop called Centralia home at one time, but no more.

To finish the story, I think I bent the steering wheel over with my shin. There was lumber and spare wheels and pails bouncing all over the place. Sonny took out the windshield with his face, but was not seriously hurt, but was pretty shocked. Truck wound up on its wheels, and still would run, but it was pretty messed up. You could spin the steering wheel around and round, and sometimes it would catch something. I drove the truck about 15 miles back to Beaverdell, and it took several hours, herding it between the ditches. Jim was mighty pissed off at Sonny for wrecking a good truck. This was around 1970.

Underground coal fires are a thing. There was one in Drumheller, Alberta, years ago, too. Sometimes caused naturally, by spontaneous combustion, or touched off by lightning or a forest fire. When a town is involved the big risk is carbon monoxide poisoning from escaping fumes.
