Freaky Deaky Cafe

St. Mary's Graveyard, Whitby, UK
by @Whitbyphotos

I have a theory on why the Cafe "skips around." I think the embedded videos are loading. And I think what you need to do to stop this "skipping around" is to let them finish loading completely, so that they go into your computer's working memory -- so then it doesn't have to reload them any more. I think maybe people are posting before they ever let the site finish loading the embedded videos, so every time they refresh the page, the site tries to finish loading them again.

You can still get your "first" attempts in, but after that, try letting the four embeds finish loading. Maybe that will stop the "skipping around" problem.

Young Republican In Training attempts her very first pounce.

Cat needs you to know he's in agony.

I could book tickets on this plane but I don't feel like it right now. (IG)

When a penguin loves a woman. (IG)

All focus on the phone. (IG)

Aw, let the dog enjoy the fountain.

Another dog that's all about the water.

Family dance.

Don't miss the boat. This is a nightmare I have every week. Doesn't have to be a boat, of course.

Is this Peak Gay Hipster? Dudes, 2003 called and it wants its Ironic Facial Hair back. This is like if OK Go was undergoing gender transition at the same time.

Scenes from the streets of America in just a couple of years.

More Coming Attractions for America.

A piece of conceptual art that actually makes the point it's trying to make.

Runaway truck ramps in use. So that's what they do.

The strange sounds of an icy lake.

Guy cradles and protects his girlfriend in a motorcycle wipe-out. Don't worry, they seem fine.

I guess it's supposed to be his dog's birthday, so he's letting the dog have his greatest fantasy?

Salute to an ailing officer.

Runnnn 😂

16 A seventh grade teacher beat the shit out of me in 1963. I pissed in my pants. Unbelievable embarrassment. I was a young kid very small in stature.
The cemetery looks like the place he was buried in.
While sipping beers riding with my boys in high school. We found his grave:
That is where I pissed. Yes a white beer piss.
I’m not proud of this but I’m glad I did it. He was a horrible man who didn’t deserve to mentor young kids. In hindsight I think I did it for all the great teachers I have.
Bottom line I became a biz leader, employer and a contributor to my neighborhoods.

Was on a Navy Port visit to the Bahamas... had a couple days off, got a hotel room...

Came back for my Duty Day, and my ship was GONE... and a Cruise ship was there instead of my Helicopter Carrier.

Was like... oh.... fuck... career ovah...

Found out they had moved the ship to give the tourists better access to town... but almost had a heart attack.

Few years after college a bunch of us decided to take a cruise on one of the Carnival Cruise Lines party ships on the Mexican Rivera, Cabo, Mazatalan, etc.. A whole bunch of people from the boat ended up at Senior Frogs getting absolutely plastered on tequila at one of the stops.

One of the more sober guys in my group noticed we were cutting it close so we got to a taxi and encouraged others to get moving. Some of them chose poorly. They had to rent a car and drive like hell to meet us at the next stop.

43 The Reuters focus group is not alone. I'm getting wind of other pollsters who are doing re-interviews of their undecideds and are finding that they are favoring Trump after the debate 2:1.

I speculated that the reason Kamala asked for a second debate within minutes is that their focus groups showed Trump won the debate where it matters. Looks like I was right.

I got a trucker license once to drive a scientific instrument across country for testing at the Bevalac at Berkely. The rules for hours on the road were nuts, and the fact that having a person in the cab with you (driver or not) not be encouraged was just nuts.

I did get an appreciation of why trucks hate those little cars that dart ahead of them on grades though.

If it's any help there's not really any way the left / government is going to allow Trump to return to office, so it will either be a repeat of the events at the PA rally or a full-on civil war that is probably disguised as a race war.

I don't know if anyone here watched House of the Dragon, but there was an episode in which a character kicks a dog.

You'll never guess what happened next.

Yep, people were very upset at that character and it wasn't even a main character, but they did not like seeing someone perpetrate violence on a doggo. Aside from the fact these people cannot seperate a fake tv show from reality, it shows how little tolerance there is for hurting our favorite animals.

99 Les Fo'Plafonds (the found instrument band above) reminds me a lot of Les Luthiers, which was an Argentine musical comedy group, though their stage show also featured funny poetry and puns, which are an odd thing to find in Spanish comedy.

I will be releasing an affidavit from an ABC whistleblower regarding the debate. I have just signed a non-disclosure agreement with the attorney of the whistleblower. The affidavit states how the Harris campaign was given sample question which were essentially the same questions that were given during the debate and separate assurances of fact checking Donald Trump and that she would NOT be fact checked. Accordingly, the affidavit states several other factors that were built into the debate to give Kamala a significant advantage. I have seen and read the affidavit and after the attorney blacks out the name of the whistleblower and other information that could dox the whistleblower, I will release the full affidavit. I will be releasing the affidavit before the weekend is out.

If it's any help there's not really any way the left / government is going to allow Trump to return to office, so it will either be a repeat of the events at the PA rally or a full-on civil war that is probably disguised as a race war.

Iowa is like 70-40 for Trump ... so this may not sit well (if that report was factual) for the Clark adorers. I like the Clark phenomenon, but partly because it was a blow to the 'black lesbian' We Own This League bullsheet.

186 I spent a few hours on deployment in Haiti. Never left the airfield and stayed near the C-130 that I was working in. Just a few hours. Very green, lush jungle all around. Lots of clear cutting you see when in the air. Didn't see any locals, the US Military kept them away from there toys. It's a pretty, with potential, Caribbean island and if Haiti ever gets there shit together, could be ok as a tourist destination. Even that is no bargain anymore. Tourist resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, DR, PR, etc all come with travel at your own risk warnings.

I'm no follower, but until this year WNBA looked terrible because it seemed nobody was trying. I know Women won't jump like MJ or anything, but hit your jumper or pass with intent to another player.

Clark is different because she is playing the game hard, passing, making shots, and recently her team is doing so with her and they are actually enjoyable.

I've seen that with women's softball - the game isn't baseball, its more like BB might have been in the 1890s with mushy balls but it looks like a contest

And the fact that nearly 20 percent of technical fouls in the league this year were inflicted on Caitlin Clark is a disgrace to the WNBA and the refs.

No taxes on overtime would be huge.

As you all know, we have a very unfair "progressive" tax rate -- the more you earn, the higher your tax rate -- which is absurd.

A lot of trade union workers like working overtime but they always say that after a certain amount of hours "it's not worth it" because it's like half of it's going back to the govt.

A lot of her popularity was Midwest white girl makes it big. It's like the US soccer team that got creamed (schlonged?) by 14 year olds.

Posted by: Cannibal Bob at September 12, 2024 08:52 PM (/VBJ9)

Four Roses, Small Batch Select. Outstanding bottle for around $60.
Better yet -- go to your local store and ask if they have a "store pick" of anything. Usually a single barrel that a store buys in its entirety. Some of the best bourbons I have bought are store picks. They will range from $50 - $100 or so. No need to spend more than 50-70.

273 Bob - Good way to do it is go to a tasting at a local liquor store. There is a wide variety of bourbon tastes. Try as many as you can, straight. When you find one that tastes good to you, it will work great in a Old Fashioned. If it is some lesser known distillery, then you have scored.

While the big names like Woodford or Bullet are really good (I like Woodford a lot), there is a lot of quality out there.

Mandatory minimum wage increases, and regulatory burdens on companies destroy entry level jobs, but even worse they destroy "customer experience" positions like boxboy, teller and gas jockey because in the beancounting end of management they don't "earn their keep" as they don't actually make money, they just convince people to come back because the experience was good. At some point the cost becomes so high and they have to have SOME people in customer facing position, other "back room positions" like the data entry positions, the mailroom supervisor, and the third VP of marketing and production start getting axed since they really don't earn their own wages either, no matter how close they are with the management clique.

333 315 chances are you wouldn’t pay taxes anyway as most of those positions are part time to avoid the mandatory benefits requirement, another Obamacare win. But what does happen is you claim that income, state and federal taxes are withheld on what is claimed and take out of your hourly rate that you get in addition to tips. You would then get it back when you filed at the end of the year, after the government borrowed it from you without paying interest.

Don’t forget, people are still paying taxes on whatever there hourly rate is, and in places like CA, that is going to be far more significant than the tips.

I'm not an economist, and I didn't sleep in a holiday inn express last night, but going to 09 levels and eliminating the fraud in the biggest expenditures would def put it on a track that could be figured out. Oh and eliminating 50% of fed employees (not enough I know. But to start)

yeah, they hated Caitlin. WHY? imo, because she was a white and straight Midwest girl. But now, if Clark is really "Woke", and trying to be friends with the leftist Woke league, it kinda changes much of the Caitlin phenomenon appeal.

Just my opinion, but I think Caitlin submitting to the Swift endorsement of "Kommunism" changes the "Caitlin Phenomenon", and (at least half of) her supporters will notice.

402 Ach, the image at the top of the thread is most heart-warming and merry. Werner is reminded of his childhood, where, if fortunate, the tyranny of the sun and its oppressive blue skies was banished by the sweet mists and darkness that grace all who are privileged to behold it.

And the Cafe, with its most sportive kitty hijinks, these gladden the soul. Yet Werner's enjoyment is marred by the reports of the theft and consumption of the felines and their doggy colleagues. Alas, though, this is not new, as such a horror emerged in Europe with the Scandis. Act not surprised; you have seen the works of Ingmar Bergman. Anyone who inflicted Fanny and Alexander on the public is capable of any iniquity.

Werner speaks from experience. In the early Eighties, while making my way to Wrestlemania during my period of playing a Heel for Herr McMahon in partnership with my staunch friend and ally Rowdy Roddy Piper, a mistake in booking stranded Roddy and myself in Oslo. The horror that ensued still disturbs Werner's dreams. Of this, someday Werner will relate. For now, know that we and the kitties elected to kick asses and chew bubble gum, and of the gum we no longer had possession. Ach.

When you are looking at a piece you are doing for a long time, while doing it, you only see the flaws, and you only see what you expect to see, since that is what you are trying to put down, right?
You need to distance once in a while and forget what you intended since that blocks what actually is. You only see the deficits, but you also miss some things you could do better.

when I did pen and ink, I used to have to view things in a mirror and upside down to break my mental image of what I wanted, and to see what was there. Especially in composition and patterning behind the fiddly work.
