Dry Well

I warned y’all yesterday that there’s not much to write about these days — unless I’m to write about Britishland’s Royal Family and the price of fucking eggs Over Here.

Or maybe I’m just getting jaded, what with all the bullshit that’s been flying around recently.  Sheesh, it’s even difficult to find content for the one-liner News Roundup…

Here’s Uberti’s version of the Remington 1890 Police model, this one in the manly .44-40 chambering (although unlike the original, it’s available in other calibers):

More later, if anything pops up.  Don’t hold your breath.

Today’s sponsor:

And if you think that’s ridiculous:


...not just incompetent, but malevolent too.


...this tragedy must be a consequence of “climate change”, because there’s never been an avalanche in Colorado before.


...I fail to see the problem here, other than causing Darwin to bust a gut laughing.  Also:  Australia.


...see “clowns”, above.


...and then we shoot them on sight;  problem solved.


...keyword:  Liverpool.  So probably “Gerroff!”


...perhaps if they sold them in 2-packs instead of by the dozen?


...good.  Shouldn’t have made the stupid thing in the first place.


...finally, some competition for the Magic Wand.

And from the sublime to the INSIGNIFICA:

   

...the only relevant apology being:  “I’m sorry I ever dated you.”


...of course she does.

Were it not for that unfortunate Shane Warne Episode, she’d be one of the most bonkable women in history.

And speaking of expectant mothers:


...frankly, after 22 kids I think they need to take a break from breeding, but that’s just me.


...I’m not even a Christian, and this makes my nose twitch.

From the Dept. of Global Cooling Climate Warming Change:


...actually, ANY country could be hit by a “mega tsunami” at any time, or by a large meteorite, or a falling Michael Moore, but let’s keep everyone frightened because it sells newspapers and gets government grants for scientists.

Still in that vein:


...must have drawn their sample from attendees at my last range session.


...sound about right.  A+ for creativity, though.


...well, duh.  Anyone with any serious managerial experience could have told you that, you twerp.


...can’t anyone just say “Thank you” and get off the fucking stage without turning some stupid and irrelevant award into a Momentous Ethnic Occasion?


...frankly, I’d believe any allegation of what this Addams Family reject ever did.


...okay, here are some pics. Same teacher:

And speaking of illicit sex:


...yup, all the grrrrls loves them some bad boys.  So much for “equal opportunity hiring policy”.

And from INSIGNIFICA:


...who they?

Oh… them.   Forgive me, but I don’t even know what “WWE” stands for.

Parallel Universe

And in yet another flight of fantasy:

Consumer inflation the past 12 months has increased 6.0 percent, down from 6.4 percent a month ago—a 0.8 percent increase from Feb. 2022 just fell off the 12-month chart reading—according to the latest data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as the Federal Reserve continues to eye further rate hikes in order to tame what has been persistent inflation.

Uh huh.  Six percent, hey?

A 2 percent decrease in gasoline and a 13.6 percent decrease in used cars and trucks was offset by a 9.2 percent increase in fuel oil and a 5.8 percent increase in new vehicles. There was a whopping 12.9 percent increase in electricity and a 14.3 percent increase in utility (piped) gas service, indicating continued high demand for energy services. There was a 9.5 percent increase in food, plus an 8.1 percent increase in shelter and a 14.6 percent increase in transportation services, plus a 3.3 percent increase in apparel, a 3.2 percent increase in medical care commodities and a 2.1 percent increase in medical care services.

Let’s not get blinded by these carefully-constructed lies, here.  Gas prices went down for about two weeks, and then shot up again.  Supermarkets have published reports about 30-, 40- and 50 percent increases in commodity items,

True inflation is running well into the double digits (high teens or more), and we consumers are being bent over the government’s desk and shafted without lube.

Enjoy your day.

...of course they are.  As long as you can produce some, you know, proof of your assertion, you malevolent troll.


...yeah, petty reasons like escaping grinding poverty, bloody civil wars and Muslim barbarism just can’t compete.


...are we sure it’s not that pesky climate change’s fault?


...fantasy, meet reality.  Pretty, innit?

And for the next such meeting, watch this development:


...this “reimagining” will work out not as hoped for by people named Gavin Newsom, but precisely as expected by the Reality-Based Community.

When you ask ChatGPT to create a photo of a bitter socialist eco-warrior activist with an Ivy League degree and possible lesbian tendencies, this is probably what you’ll get:

...okay, I pick “hell”. Your move, Brandon.


...leaving only 6 million or so illegal voter registrations to go.


...in accountants’ terms, he “lost” money even though he ended up with $120 million or something over what he originally paid for it.  Not that any of it matters, cos he’s dead.

From the Dept. Of Irony:


...despite (or maybe because of) naming him “Cuddles”.

From the Dept. Of “Defense”:


...if I were a donor, I’d also hold off till they rename it the “Robert E. Lee Military Institute”.

And news from the SPCA:


...can you spell “irrational panic”, children?  And:
