From our mole in Scandinavia comes this little gem:
Seriously? You mean just laughing at this bullshit would send me to jail?
…and:
And who is this priceless little feministical?
So all that study in the hard sciences, and young Ashleigh is analyzing the implications of gender differential in flatulence?
Send me to jail now, Judge Sotomayor. Because I’m never going to quit making fun of these spoiled First-World fuckups and their loony little “philosophy”, ever.
“Dear Dr. Kim:
“What do I do?” — #MillennialProblems
Dear Problems,
Switch to Cascade. FFS, can’t your generation figure out anything for yourselves?
–Dr. Kim
Looks like I’m not the only one who is enraptured by this new Millennial activity. Try this comment (marked with the red arrow):
A recent comment by Reader Velocette got me thinking about old Alfa Romeos, so off to the Internet I went… and found this on the first try.
This little beauty was offered for sale about a year ago:
The asking price was $125,000 and it was sold. Read the article to get the full flavor of the car. I’d say the buyer got the best bargain of 2017.
I’m so jealous I could spit.
Off to Las Vegas for the SHOT Show. I wonder if the place has changed since I was last there…
Imagine you were a virtuoso guitarist who didn’t want to just play in a rock band. What to do?
Well, if you were Spanish, you could form a symphony orchestra with a bunch of like-minded guitarists, call yourselves SInfonity, and play some classical music like, oh say, Bach’s venerable Toccato & Fugue in D minor.
Not that this would have been one of your goals, but you would end up making Kim du Toit a very happy man.
To my Readers: set aside ten minutes of your busy day and give the above a listen. And yes, it’s live.
No need to thank me; it’s all part of the service.
Here we go again. It’s that time of year when Congress can’t / won’t do the job we send them there to do, can’t agree on a budget, and then come all the threats and dire warnings of a government shutdown.
Here’s what I would do if I were God-Emperor Trump: get within 24 hours a list from every Cabinet Secretary and department chief of all the government employees who absolutely, positively cannot be spared from their jobs as public servants — and then create the obverse of that list, and warn those people that if Congress fails to reach a budget agreement, then they are the ones who will be furloughed. Any and all complaints should be addressed to their Congressional representatives.
Just so we’re clear on the parameters, here: note that I said “cannot be spared from their jobs as public servants” — which would include people such as the people at the SocSec offices cutting checks to pensioners, air traffic controllers, Park Rangers overseeing national parks and monuments etc. — so that the public can continue to be served and not face childish games such as allowed nay encouraged by the previous Administration. All non-essential services can be placed in abeyance through furlough.
We can talk later about whether the furlough should be made permanent.
On a similar train of thought: all public service unions should not only be dissolved but made illegal, and Congress-only medical benefits ditto. (Let ’em suffer like we are, and we’ll see how long it takes them to clear up the medical insurance mess they’ve created.)
I’m stopping now before I get angry and start proposing the kinds of action which would get me noticed by Gummint.
