So I had a chance to spend a little bit of yesterday with the fetching Mrs VIA's highly over educated Asian friend.
Being from Chicago, she was fascinated by the "HeyJackass" website.
And her introduction to the dual concepts of "Ask the Imam", and hand babies was something I should have been able to sell tickets to.
Overall.....a fulfilling two hours of my life.

I really think that is why the colder areas have such a strong 'socialist' lean. A totally different attitude where when the snow melts finding homes with a dead family and animals.
Somebody smarter than I could articulate this better, but I think that is such an important point, people in warmer or more populated areas simply do not understand why and how those attitudes are prevalent.
As always, I am late.

But that doesn't have to mean government help. It's hot here and some guy randomly came over and fixed my car enough so I could drive it to the shop. Didn't have to ask, just stood there (possibly dramatically) asking my brother if I needed to call a tow truck.
Southerners are pretty helpful friendly people, on a personal level. Is there any reason why cold might equal a need for help from the government?

I'm reminded ot a great line from "Thank You For Smoking". The tobacco lobbyist explains to his son what he does for a living. They simulate a debate, and the lobbyist veers wildly off on a tangent. When his son exclaims, "that's not what we were talking about", the father responds, "but it's what I want to talk about".

NYC is another State in most respects. There's quite literally no cultural continuity. Albany is the creature of NYC.
So what's Wisconsin's deal? Seriously, I want to know. I get the impression that, while in NYC if you're not "of the body" you're mostly excluded and belittled, in WI its more like bricks through your window, cops throwing you in jail or killing you/your dog, getting your house burned down, etc. Much more serious consequences.

democracies have agreed that the world should phase out the use of
fossil fuels by the end of this century.
How about G7 leaders go first? Eliminate your jets, your motorcade, your smartphones and your huge presidential mansions, etc. What --- you thought a replacement for the energy generated from fossil fuels could be easily found?
But really, the last 6 words are the key: "by the end of this century."

Wisconsin is a state in transition from stranglehold blue to red(dish).
Power is never ceded willingly, and the leftists who've held sway here are merely showing that.
We've had republican majorities in the past who have had a hands off approach to the public unions and state employees, who've considered themselves for untouchable.
NY, CA, all the other leftist strongholds haven't had what's happening here.

How will this accident affect the cost?
Bacon prices are already so murky,
we can only afford "bacon" made from turkey.
Bacon-flavored strips
of pressed and refried bird.
Along with birds-to-be, fried eggs,
it seems a bit absurd.
Sliced turkey in the omelet
and now it's safe to say,
It's bird bird bird for breakfast
all the way.
Oh yay.
And while discussing diets

have you seen the prices lately

Longtime LGBT advocate and actor Patrick Stewart has sided with Christian bakers in Northern Ireland who refused to write the words, "support gay marriage" on a cake.
"It was the actual words on the cake they objected to," Stewart told BBC's "Newsnight" Thursday. "I would support their rights to say, 'No, this is personally offensive to my beliefs, I will not do it.'"

I have never heard root beer referred to as 'non-alcoholic beer'.
Although this does remind me of the time I was walking to the metro at 8am with a rootbeer and got a bunch of dirty looks.

Let's put that in perspective.
Two murderous biker gangs who'd just been involved in a massive shoot out were able to follow the cops' directions and sit down and shut up.
Teenage wannabe thugs, however, decided to challenge that order. That's really pretty incredible and shows the, shall we say, entitlement, that we're dealing with here.

re: Root Beer
Did you know that sassafras, the traditional flavoring extract in root beer got banned back in the 60s? Another victim of those crappy rat studies.
Been substitute and artificial flavors ever since then, except among hobbyist brewers.

I can promise you from here on in this show will not be edgy. Edgy was a term created to pawn stupid stuff of as cool when it's just plain bad, like probiotic yogurt. Edgy commentary pretends to be risky -- mocking the faithful, taking jabs at things people fought and died for: That's not risk, it's a costume for the vacuous. These days risk is doing something the media derides: Saying you love this country, cops are awesome, our military rules, identity is silly.
All of that creates a smirk, stretching from the Upper West Side to the backyards of Brentwood, a snickering dismissal of an intellectual class trained by the Comedy Central applause sign.

There was a microbrewery down here a few years back that made their own root beer. Best stuff I ever had and it was the best compliment to their burgers if you didn't want a real beer with it.

1. Get naked and have a face cloth with body scrub ready. Outside or in the tub.
2. Carefully pour about 3/4 gallon of water (warmed in the sun if you wish) over your body to wet it and the wash cloth.
3. Soap your hair and entire body with the body scrub/facecloth
4. Rinse slowly with the remaining 1 3/4 gallons of water. Tiny bit of vinegar in the last bit of water helps to rinse if desired.
5. Stand naked in the hot desert wind to dry off.

I think I mentioned this in the previous thread, but NYTimes has an article about what it means to be a woman.
Actually nice to see someone mentioning that the trans movement people are not actually women and maybe it's not evil to mention that?

character telling someone about one of the raptors, "She's the beta [of
the group/pack]."
Woman: "Who's the alpha?"
Pratt: "You're lookin' at him."
And then that neat shot of Pratt roaring across a darkened field on a motorbike, with a raptor racing on either side . . .
(It
reminds me of Murray Leinster's Hugo-winning novelette from the 1950s,
"Exploration Team." A human explores a wild untamed planet in
partnership with three adult Kodiak bears and a cub. Not pets, not
sentient, but engineered to have an emotional relationship with humans.
Very exciting story.)

It's an American birth certificate (military base). Is that the difference? I don't understand how "born in Jerusalem" doesn't equal "Israel as birthplace" automatically. I was hoping NGU would know since he visits Israel and keeps an eye on such things.

Standard Navy shower= max of three minutes.
At 1/2 gallon per minute maximum flow rate.
And that three minutes includes the time spent scrubbing, with the water off. Then turning it back on to rinse the soap off.

Who was the first woman to be chosen in the NBA draft ?
Bruce Jenner was selected in the 1977 NBA draft by the Kansas City Kings (now the Sacramento Kings).
Jenner, then the reigning Olympic decathlon champion, was chosen in the seventh round.
Jenner hadn't played basketball since high school. He declined to join the Kings.

Not sure about the others, but Elway was a helluva baseball player at Stanford. His arm, as he showed in the NFL, was an absolute cannon. He could hit too.

447 433--most professional sports teams will take a chance and draft tremendous athletes---even if they have little experience in that sport. Baseball great Dave Winfield was drafted by the Padres, The Minnesota Vikings and 2 basketball teams when he was in college. He chose the Padres and started playing immediately, one of the few players to never spend a day in the minors. Peyton Manning John Elway, Dan Marino, Tom Brady and many other QB's were drafted by baseball teams just for the hell of it....
