So you’re part of a group of fishermen, walking off to your favorite fishing spot, when you encounter a herd of elephants. Most likely there are newborn calves in the herd, which is why the females take offense at a bunch of humans occupying the same zip code. So you flee the angry herd in panic, and take refuge in a nearby river. And the predictable occurs.
As I don’t have a Twatter account, I can’t do as Mr. Gervais requests. The best I can do, however, is this:
As for the underlying message (that Muslims think dogs are unclean — “najis”), I heartily concur with Ricky’s suggestion.
Ditto U.S. Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), who said “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”
(pic borrowed from C.W.)
And not just as it pertains to dog-hatred, either. I feel the same about “honor killings”, forcing women to wear niqabs, sha’ria “law”, “fatwas”, banning liquor, and all the other vile dogmatic slop these tits bring to our treasured Western civilization.
It may really be time for us to consider adding an asterisk to the First Amendment.
…or not. I see that both Jesse Jackson and Robert Duvall have recently died.
I deeply mourn the passing of one, and am dancing a jig of joy for the death of the other. Feel free to guess which is which.
We’ve seen young Maisie Smith on these pages before (first as a teenager totty, in fact). Nowadays, of course, she’s middle-aged (Leonardo-standard) at age 24. But let’s start off with last week’s theme of her and Mum:
And just her, back in the carefree teen years:
Now, she’s all growed-up somewhat:
But she’s still quite delicious:
(that was taken in Finland, hence the hat and gloves w/bikini)
Still toothsome.
Via Insty, I saw this little snippet over the past weekend:
BMW Patent Reveals Branded Screw Design That Limits Access to Vehicle Repairs
BMW has filed a patent for a new fastener design that underscores the automaker’s long-standing willingness to chart its own path, even when that path complicates ownership. The newly revealed screw head is shaped like BMW’s roundel, creating a proprietary design that standard tools cannot engage.
Unlike familiar Torx or hex fasteners, the patented screw uses a circular head divided into four quadrants. Two of those quadrants are recessed to accept a matching driver, while the remaining sections remain flush. The BMW logo is embossed around the perimeter, leaving little doubt about the fastener’s origin or intended exclusivity.
Uh-huh. While I like Glenn’s thought (everyone needs a damaged-screw extractor), that’s not how this will play out.
Here’s a preview of the timeline, as I see it:
Regular handle ($4.99)
T-handle ($7.99)
Cordless ($24.99, with charger included)
As usual, the marketing- and engineering assholes at BMW (a.k.a. the Control Freak Division) will be handed their asses by the market.
You saw it here first.

Not a bad start. Now let’s roll it back another 60 years, to 1906. (For those unaware, there would be only a few dozen IRS officials, just to give one example.)
