Indispensable Tip

Anarchist thugs, BaconLettuceMayo, SHTF

We see this happening (in Beverly Hills, even):

Trump supporters have been holding weekly rallies in Los Angeles and about 200 of them were gathered in Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
But a few dozen Black Lives Lives Matter people showed up to “counter protest” and got violent. They came apparently trying to start fights with the Trump supporters.

…which engenders well-meaning advice like this:

A Navy Seal Instructs Americans on How to Deal With a Violent Mob

I read that, and apart from the usual “stay away from where there’s going to be trouble” bromide, I noticed one glaring omission from our SEAL buddy in the event that the SHTF:  if you’re going to shoot a gun from inside your car, remember to put in earplugs first.  (I’m assuming that you have at least thirty seconds warning that Bad Things are about to happen, and I’m also assuming that like me you always carry a couple of those little orange thingies in your pocket.)

I cannot stress this enough:  if you touch off a round (or two, or three) inside a car without at least some hearing protection, you will suffer severe and possibly permanent hearing loss.

If you don’t carry these little things in your pocket when you go out, you should start getting into the habit.

Here endeth the lesson.

Back To Basics

Food & Drink

SOTI I saw this as a cure for a hangover:

Okay, this looks like something an expensive hotel would serve, just to build the tab.  Here’s my revision:

Adding anything but ice or water to booze makes expensive booze taste like cheap booze, and the more extraneous shit you add, the worse.  Don’t ask me how I know this.

If you really want to have food wrapped around booze, pour a glass of anything into a bowl of cold minestrone.  It won’t make you any sicker than a Bloody Mary, and is much cheaper.  Don’t ask me how I know this, either.

And if you MUST have a Bloody Mary:  vodka + tomato juice, with maybe a little salt and pepper.

   

Monday Funnies

Funny Stuff

…except for Mondays.  I always know when it’s Monday.  So here’s something to help me (and y’all) forget what damn day it is:

As The Englishman reminds me: 

Black oLives Matter.

And speaking of rioting assholes, a quick commercial message:

Back to the office:

Speaking of wannabe office-holders:

And other stupid gummint stuff:

And speaking of health, I have to go for a routine checkup later, so:

 

And finally:

I’d offer to hold them for her, but it’s really difficult running as a tripod.

And here we see the danger of un-gripped breasteses:

Now drive yourselves to drink  work.

Difference Of Opinion

Elections

Shooting off into the darkness, Mitch Berg suggests that this pic proves that the Socialists are deranged:

Me, I think it’s a combination of wishful thinking and the “cult of personality” — an excellent example of totalitarian art as created by Nazi Germany of their hero:

At least the Nazis used a realistic (albeit fanciful) depiction of their hero.  Our modern-day wannabe totalitarians have to rely on their stumbling standard-bearer as a comic-book superhero, and his sidekick in her best “tonight I’m gonna blow Willie Brown” costume.

What a shambles.
