You will all be pleased to know I worked out the problem with The Big Dummy's 2026 show record. A six-point discrepancy in his Grand Champion points was due to missing the Midwest Borzoi Club specialty for 5 points and crediting him with one point instead of two at another show. My books balance perfectly now.

37 Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's long since moved into twilight zone territory. They simply cannot acknowledge that he might be correct on any issue whatsoever. The word came down long ago that he is not to be considered human in any way (nor his supporters, by the way... ponder that) So they have to reflexively take an opposite take on anything. Any Thing.

43 Trump gave a great presentation to Kim about developing the NK beaches into resorts. NK leaders want a hereditary Communist tyrant to rule over that burnt out anthill that can't feed itself.

Meanwhile the best NK Army troops are seeing how Russia is more advanced, with food and readily available porn. Methinks this will be trouble down the line.

My understanding (I'm no comic book guy) is mostly man-hating woke women wrote her, so she was deliberately made not to appeal to the "male gaze". Marvel Rivals was mostly made by the Chinese, who want to make money, so they ensured her (and especially all the female characters) are attractive.

I asked Grok, and here's what it said on the cartoonists that have drawn her:

Early Ditko = intentionally odd gag character.

Henderson-era (and similar) = intentionally non-glamorous, expressive cartooning that matches the comedy and rejects typical sexualized superheroine design.

Other artists = more standard attractive proportions and features.

There's a wide range of looks, and a lot of them are deliberately FUGLY. But not always for political reasons, it seems

97 Towing a Starship around, which was never intended to float, let alone be towed, in the ocean is like having a dancing bear.

"Behold the dancing bear! The marvel is not that he dances so well, but that he dances at all!"

99 Golden Retrievers are the best. They can sense things and react. A little dust up at my house this weekend, daughter with substance abuse problems beat me pretty bad. My golden hasn't left my side, can't even use the toilet without her head on my lap and her sad eyes looking up at me. They really should be able to be prescribed as medication.

100 They were talking about making a Squirrel Girl movie at one time, starring toothy Anna Kendrick, but that went nowhere.----

The last movie I saw with her was Thd Right Guy with Sam Rockwell. Absolutely loved that movie and not a big fan of her. She was perfect in the role.

101 96 Hadrian, just comment on old threads, and we’ll be fine.

102 Molly k.

Peace be with you. I’m so sorry. Please don’t make excuses for your daughter. Keep her out of your home. Please tell me you called 911 and she was arrested.

103 In all those, "person saves animal from drowning" videos I always assume the critter is just living his best life, almost to the other shore, where he intended to cross to, and someone "saves" him by bringing him back to the place he started.

106 99 Molly K., I’m so sorry. I hope that your daughter gets help. Prayer up.

108 99 Molly, I am sorry you are dealing with something so difficult.

Posted by: Piper at August 17, 2026 09:16 PM (ZdaMQ)

109 What about Sandy Cheeks?
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr.

Okay, what's the deal with this:

Sandy is depicted as wearing a tube top/halter. Yet, female squirrels have multiple sets of breasts. Typically 4 sets.

This is as misleading as Otis from the cartoon Barnyard having an udder.

Boy, I say Boy! Some things just don't add up!!

110 99. Molly, 🙏🏼. You do matter.

Glad you have the sweet dog but are you okay? I realize it's a very difficult decision but did you report it & get some assistance?

Molly,

I am so sorry

Oh no, Molly. What nurse said. You do neither yourself or your daughter any favors enduring this without her facing the consequences.

113
And you have the very best dog in the world. They just know.

114 So, we gotta get our main water line replaced tomorrow. 6+ hours without water. Yuck.

116 Please tell me you called 911 and she was arrested.
..............

She was, I wasn't the one to press charges, the cops are required to so they did. They also had no choice but to put a no contact order on her. I'll be ok but I hope this is the bottom she needs to get help. Sorry to jack the thread, just wanted to put my two cents in about Goldens

117 Prayers for all in your circle Molly.

118 Molly K., God be with you and your daughter. May he bless and heal and comfort you both:

119 116 you didn’t jack anything. We all need people we can share with, even if those people are in grey boxes.

137 Just when you think AI is bad
remember that in 2008 Obama said ATMs were bad.
At that time ATMs were 41 years old.

Approximately 2.8 million ATMs were installed worldwide in 2008.

Idiots talk about things that have already happened and are everywhere.

Big Blue was 1996. About 30 years ago. It took Big Blue about 7 months to win Championship.
