Hello Everybody!

The coblogs did me a huge solid last week. Thanks so much, guys.

I'm trying to find a good story but I just want to say that I'm glad to be back and that I've missed you all.

53 Here you go, Ace:

"JACKSON, Miss. —
Tougaloo College's Sunday graduation featured U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, of Texas."

https://tinyurl.com/4552z77b

Tougaloo College:

"The average unweighted GPA at Tougaloo College is 2.8 on the 4.0 scale... The school ranks #14 in Mississippi for highest average GPA."

"The average SAT score at Tougaloo College is 940 out of 1600 and the range for the middle 50% of accepted students is 790-1090."

"For the best chance of admission, you should have an ACT of 18. This will place you in solid competition against other applicants. At a minimum, you should aim for a 16 and score in the score in the top 75 percent nationally. The lowest ACT score likely to be admitted is a 14."

It's past time to have a serious discussion about the exploitation happening at HBCUs and shut these diploma mills down. There is not a single good one. Even the "top tier elite" ones are barely equal to decent local nothing-special state schools.

Speaking of getting caught in the rain, I overseeded and dressed the lawns before the coming of the rains of Spring, weather report shows it's going to rain for the next two weeks, so at least I have that going for me.

1. Daddario's nude scene in True Detective is epic, partially because she came out of nowhere to do it. Sweeney's nude scene in The Voyeurs pales in comparison.

2. Daddario is significantly prettier than Sweeney.

I would recommend keeping an eye on him, tho, as I think he's gunning for your job and would have no qualms stabbing you in the back in a myriad of ways.

On a side note, which actually ties in with the story about NPR hating the Declaration: as some of you know, about 20-odd years ago I played in a Concord MA production of 1776. I met a group of people there, and we've been getting together for dinner every couple of months in the succeeding years.

We've all said how we would love to do the show again, and one of my friends who is a member of the Concord Players board of directors suggests it every so often.

This year, for the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord, they decided on the egregious, useless musical Urinetown. When 1776 was brought up as an appropriate choice for 2026, the response was - and I quote - "that's a show about old white guys and that's not what we need right now" (my emphasis)

======

I don't think Godzilla has any meaning in Minus One. I think he's just a giant monster.

But, the connection to the original film that I see is that both movies are fantasies about Japan picking itself up after WWII, using its own ingenuity and derring-do to overcome something huge.

Neither mentions the American occupation, at all. It's all on Japan's part to beat Godzilla, and they do it. First, through sci-fi nonsense (the oxygen destroyer) and later with something more closely approximating reality (the use of gases to sink the monster).

197 This year, for the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord, they decided on the egregious, useless musical Urinetown. When 1776 was brought up as an appropriate choice for 2026, the response was - and I quote - "that's a show about old white guys and that's not what we need right now" (my emphasis)

______________________________

Consider: An electric drier is ALL electric. A gas drier uses gas AND electric. Two utility bill charges vs one charge. The choice is clear. Stay with electric (and don't buy one that's internet-capable, 'kay). Get an old Kenmore from a used appliance shop (ask me how I know).

218 Not a movie guy, certainly not a sci-fi or monster movie guy, but that Godzilla movie was interesting for its quite accurate and very un-monster-movie details. The NCO on the little island who (correctly) suspected the protagonist was a traitor (tokutai pilot faking engine trouble). The people living in ruins in Tokyo. The very interesting and accurate political elements in the discussions among citizens and former naval officers when hatching their plan to defeat the monster. None of these things have anything to do with a monster story, and they're all accurately portrayed.

I was totally going to make a hunter painting and Mark is his canvas joke that basically said the same thing.

You should have watched the Avalanche/Stars Game 7 on Saturday. Bleach blonde seated right behind the Stars bench got lots of screen time with her womanhood bubbling up out of her low cut top like an out-of-control sourdough starter.

273 Thanks RMBS. Still on the fence about lever action vs bolt action. Wish I had opportunity to try both again. I like the new models that have mag loading.
Sigh
I will bring this discussion to next Sunday's gun thread.

275 Is Urinetown as corrupt as Chinatown?

278 Resorting to cheap slurs like "nigger" is a sign of serious deficiency in the basic life skill of blistering invective. Black people aren't freaks. If you're going to dehumanize somebody, you have to treat them like a human first. Then unleash a torrent of top-volume personal abuse that knocks the leaves off the trees.

279 I generally avoid porn, cause I'm Catholic.

The last time I saw great tits was "Under Siege" Erika Eleniak.

One of my fellow bouncers at the Topless bar - shortly after that movie came out - had an evening with her in a motel room. He was assigned to drive her around and body guard her while she was working as a feature dancer at the club. He was a young, handsome, guy who was very successful with women, they got bored, and one thing led to another.

Meh, Negroe and Negras are Spanish and Portuguese words for black/dark. Expecting 17th English speakers to know and pronounce Spanish or Portuguese correctly is a stupid expectation.

282 86 Texas has brought both Cinco De Mayo and Juneteenth too the American holiday scene.

I truly apologize for this.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at May 05, 2025 12:14 PM (VofaG)

Texas celebrates things in Texas. Its everyone else that follows the lead.

I mean, Juneteenth is specific to Tx. Biden foisted that shit upon the masses.

Cinco de Mayo is just an excuse to get shitfaced, if we needed an excuse.
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at May 05, 2025 12:16 PM (IXZGh)

Speaking as a Texan... I don't see the issue. Juneteenth is probably the only "new" holiday that really makes sense. The day the last slave was set free seems like cause for celebration. Why wouldn't that be a worthwhile American sentiment today? It's a damned sight more important than "Indigenous Peoples Day," and it's a lot more sincere than Black History Month.

And yes, Cinco de Mayo is just an excuse to drink Margaritas.

No, I mean now, when it's known as a cheap racial slur.

If you press that button, you disable all the other ones. If you're looking to shred some shithead in a park or whatever, you can hit them way harder with something else.

Maybe. But they are always playing these fucking games. Just avoid them in whole. Life's too short.
