That may look fake, but it seems to be real. There's a similar image in this video.

Wombat fact: a baby wombat is called a puggle.

Wombat vs. Capybara: The Ultimate Bloodwar. Well, it's not really a bloodwar so much as a comparison of the similarities and differences between these two piglike creatures.

Volcanic eruption in the distance beyond the Reykjavik skyline.

A Labrador's favorite stuffed animal is Perry the Platypus, and the dog gets stressed when the Platypus is in the washing machine. His mistress tries dressing up as Perry the Platypus to distract him during the next wash. It's pretty cute.

Vivace, Fortissimo.

Skipped leg day, and most of the days.

For Alex the Chick, some cute little fuzzballs.

Work smarter, not harder.

Very cool "peepshow book." Warning: Does not contain anything sexual, perfectly safe for work. And yet, worth viewing!

Bird dances to each of the ringtones of a cell phone.

"What the ish did I do?!"

Good news: Nature will reclaim our world after the leftwing murders us all.

Isn't China wonderful?

This man. Is. A Genius. Of the first order.

24 OT from last discussion but just because I just spent two valuable minutes writing this:

When I was still in my teens I once had a dude try to silence of the lambs me in a dark mostly empty parking lot.

Having introduced himself (to my politeness but utter lack of interest) he actually asked me to come to his car to get his "business card".

I swear the guy was some kind of deranged sick fuck. And I don't just mean he seemed gay. Looked very clean cut. Had glasses and wore nice clothes like he was a working man.

I have razor sharp instincts about people and he had the look and the vibe of a real sick fucking fuck. Is there a chance I was wrong? Sure. The desire to be part of something "special" is human nature. But I don't think it was that. He was weird. It's just strange to experience how this shit really happens.

47 Response to JROD from last thread: I think you underestimate my understanding of the left.

They still claim and act as if winning an election is important to them. Well these tactics won't work, they never have.

Which moves us to the next step, political violence.

The only thing that stops a reactionary response to Antifa and the leftists that want to engage in violence is the belief by the highly armed majority that elections are the preferred mechanism to guide the country.

When that belief is no longer considered true by the majority, then the results are going to be interesting.

When the military is acting as the state's enforcement of power and the people running the death squads, that is one thing. But outsourcing your paramilitary to young thugs just invites the reactionary response of the French revolution, Spanish civil war, and Pinochet.

113 Saw nature reclaim a large area of land that was stripped mined for years. The company stopped, the State said no so fast, clean that shit up. The company declared bankruptcy to avoid it, the State sued and the land sat there for 30+ years as the case crawled through the legal system. Not sure what happened to the case but the land, well, Pennsylvania happened. It's a pretty wooded area now. Nobody had to do a thing. Looks like there was never a strip mine there to begin with.

187 Dave in Fla Johnson is right. Antifa can do what they do in blue urban areas because they’re allowed to. Let’s see what happens when they venture out of those areas.

True Fact - State Police were out, in force, where I live then. Not to protect the rural residents from the Antifa folks. To keep the Antifa folks, conveniently rioting in a major city right on the state border, from moving to the rural areas on the other side of the State Line and starting a chain of events nobody could stop.

That force included - and I know this for a fact, because I work in an area where they staged - sniper teams watching the bridges where the rioters could walk into definite No Go zones, as well as one rapid reaction force in case a few shots weren't enough to discourage the herd.

215 Wombats are my second favorite marsupial, first of course is the Quoka, but I wouldn't fuck with an angry womabat. They are not the least bit aggressive, but the are basically 100% muscle. I went on a "Wombat walk" at Currumbin a couple of years ago. Wombats are the "fastest marsupial" there is, and when they decide to bookit out, the bookit out, and you need to be a man, or a very fast running woman because those fuckers weigh a TON. I sat with my wombat, and to "control" him I had to "pat" him like you do a large dog, but you have to do it with almost all of your strength, and they don't care, and in fact, they kinda love it, and they do cuddle a little bit when they come out of their burrows. I love wombats.

In fact, my wife (native Australian, not like me) was on her motorcycle doing some psycho ride, because the leader of her club is a psycho, saw a wombat on the side of the rode thinking it was dead, or injured, and she broke out of the line to pull over and try to care for the little wombat. The wombat was just fine, just taking a nap on the side of the rode, and my wife sat there with him till he started to move, and guided him away from the road.

If that is what she wanted to do, and did nothing else, that would be fine. But she sought the spotlight - and then did nothing with it. She'd show up on Fox, bat her eyes, blather on about...not much. Rinse, repeat. She could have build a platform, been like Reagan in the 60s/70s during his time as a speaker, made a case for conservatism. She had a huge fan base - conservatives loved her. But she did nothing with it. What a total waste of a great opportunity.

A friend's mom was scalped back in the 70s in a similar way- using some farm tool that caught a piece of her hair and then grabbed onto the rest and wrapped around it. She lived, but barely and of course has worn wigs ever since.

I believe it was developed by Candorcet as a proposed way to improve a multi-candidate or party election without multiple rounds and to bring up candidates that would otherwise be blocked by first choices even if the first choice did not have sufficient votes to win.

Candorcet had a lot of ideas. He was executed by Guillotine during the terrors.

few people know that there's a big chunk of East Texas forest near Karnak, Tx, and the old Longhorn Army Ammunition plant that is still fenced off for the same reason. They planted mines all around it during WW2 to keep out saboteurs, and apparently all the maps got lost.

Perhaps, but as was reported earlier, the PA SOS is monkeying around with voter registration and ballot requests, combining them onto the same form, two months before the election.

It's for one reason and one reason only, to give them a larger universe of votes to steal the upcoming elections.

Yeah. One voter, one vote. If you really wanted to have a run-off with more than two candidates ? Then you have to have more than one vote. Drop the lowest vote getter each time. Maybe drop more than one, until the sum of their collective votes doesn't eclipse the highest vote getter.

McQueeg-Findgold was Juan saying "even I cannot resist the blandishments and thus we must outlaw political speech."

Like Trump I have loathed Juan since the 80s

Godspeed to you sir. I don't know your position but I hope your absence makes some difficulty for them.

505 Patting the seat on the bus next to you is a great idea. I can retire the old trick of reading a copy of "The Book of Mormon" and smiling at everyone.

Which has been the case since at least 1861.

Pretty much every f**ked up even in US history can be laid at the feet of the Democrat party, the recompense for their calumny is always off loading their crimes and guilt to the Republican Party.

Which for some reason, the GOP always abides.

I am truly proud to say, during McCain vs Obama - I stayed home. As I told a Republican I worked with at the time, "Ones a National Socialist, ones a Democratic Socialist. You figure out which is which.".

508 McCain - Feingold was the response to democrats taking laundered Chinese money. Yes, both sides were punished for democrat law breaking.

Nah. On this, I do not agree. McCain - Feingold was the response to Ross Perot getting 20% of the national vote.

'Which for some reason, the GOP always abides.'
It's the damnedest thing. You'd think a political party would have some commitment to their own self interest, but no.

My plan is I am old and deterrent is not a factor.

Dove stew with polenta.

Tell me about it, is the polenta used like bread? Is it in the stew? Sounds good though. I'd probably go with chicken.
