Now It’s “NO Feet”?

Funny Stuff, Old Fartism, Today's Yoot

What the hell has become of the yoot of today?  (I know, it’s a common plaint.)  Via Insty, I see this strange paradigm:

Generation Z, the generation born between 1997 and 2012, is now occupying high schools across the country, and their feet are decidedly covered.  Not only do they often prefer not to show their own feet, but they can take offense to others who do.

Bloody hell.

Yeah I know, creepy foot fetishes and all that.  (If I can be honest, I think that of all the sexual fetishes, the one for feet has to be the most harmless.)

Anyway I’m not immune to the allure of the female foot, although it’s not a particular fetish for me.  Here’s Semiaramis:

…whose feet are decidedly sexy, but then again I find her whole outfit undeniably so.

Kids need to get some perspective, and a grip.

Reader Input

Food & Drink, Good Stuff

I have Teh Competition!  From his well-defended bunker in coastal Florida, Reader Sean F. sends the following:

SEAN’S BILTONG

For the meat, I get a cut called caipirinha – a South American (Brazilian) cut which is actually the top of the rump, with the thick fat attached Top round, etc. is fine, but I like the fat layer, which should be trimmed down to 1/4” for biltong.  (Leave on for roasting.)

Per 1 lb. of raw meat – double or triple, etc.

Cut meat into thumb thickness pieces with grain

Spice mix:

2 tsp. coarse black pepper

3 tbsp. roasted and ground coriander seeds – grind with red pepper flakes to taste

Add to grind powdered garlic and onion 1/2 tsp @

Marinade:

½ c red wine vinegar

¼ c Worcestershire Sauce

Pat the meat dry and rub in ¼ of the spice mix on each side. Add marinade and put in tight Ziploc, overnight in frig. Turn, if you think of it.

Hang to dry.

It takes me 3 days in this hot but air-conditioned climate to get to “wet”.  Leave 5 days for “dry”.

…and he had the temerity to send me a couple of (wet) sample sticks.

Upshot:  New Wife prefers it to mine.  (“More savory, wetter, nice fat sliver.”)  Some Seffrican buddies we shared it with over the weekend also pronounced it excellent.

Action:  Will copy and steal the above recipe, as should everybody.

Verdict:  Business opportunity.

Dept. Of Righteous Shootings

Righteous Shootings

From Reader Brad_In_IL comes this excellent summary of something that happened in my old home town outside Chicago:

1) Woman is frightened of scumbag,
2) Woman obtains order of protection against scumbag
3) Scumbag breaks into woman’s apartment with malfeasance in his heart
4) Woman shoots scumbag dead.
5) Cops, firefighters are called to clean up the mess.

And for those interested in the details, here they are.

She’s not going to be charged… not even in Illinois would they dare.

News Roundup

Bad News

And speaking of things that make parts of one’s body ache painfully…

In Political News:


…

And:


...executive summary:  ban fracking, carbon taxes, and the rest of the Green unicorn-fart nonsense:  requiring new buses, heavy duty vehicles and vehicle fleets to be zero-emission by 2030 and all vehicles to be 100% zero-emission by 2035.


...good question, but it’s probably the same group that’s been running it since 2020.


...newsflash:  nobody cares.  Especially if it’s “Dr.” Jill and his fuckface son doing the talking.


...triggering competition to claim her title as “Biggest Moron in Congress”, amid some strong competition.

In Entertainment News:


...as my old dad used to say:  “Never hug a wet woman”, and he was right.

In International News:


...Americans will experience the same under [sic] President Kamala Harris.


...providing the answer to the perennial teaser:  “Name one thing Hitler did do right”.
#SlaughterGypsies

Still in Britishland:


...government at the expense of taxpayers;  why are we not surprised?

From the Dept. of Health:


...Mommy Mommy, he’s doing an InstaSnark again.

In still-link-free  

 

...just sayin’.

And peering in the windows of the houses of we find:


...you know, I was going to show some pics of the aforementioned slags, but they’re not as bad as you’d expect;  they’re worse.  So instead, some nicer things, perhaps not even slags (borrowed from Kenny):

…and an old one of Ground Force‘s Charlie Dimmock, who is definitely not a slag:

And that’s all the news out there.
