I am alone with HackerBoy this weekend while Cruel Wife and Lemurita attend a weekend-long training regimen at a paramilitary youth organization outing for young women. The boy and I have eaten pizza rolls, onion rings, Taco Bell™ (no horse meat was available when I requested it and they did not see humor in it), McDonald’s™, and spring rolls – a whole bag.
We watched a bit of Batman Begins but Hackerboy grew bored and wanted to watch “The Secret World of Arrietty“, which I gotta say was well done even if cliche. I guess he’s just not old enough to appreciate the buildup of Christian Bale in training with Ra’s Al Ghul and the subsequent return to Gotham to stomp on the Scarecrow’s smug pretty-boy face.
Too bad Bale seems like such an asshole in real life, but who among us hasn’t given a poor showing? American Psycho was pretty well done, I thought. And I gotta respect his drive to do what he sets his mind to do (The Machinist). His ideals… not so much. But I do admire determination.
h/t to alert co-worker/Farker Black Lab on Amphetamines. Simultaneously hilarious yet nauseating. It’s like Popplers™. Enjoy, veeshir, this one is for you.
I immediately thought of Aggie Sith when I saw this. Immediately. Darth Necklace.

Adding this in as an update to this post – Man Insists Girlfriend Wears Celebrity Masks When Having Sex.
Now, you could assume that the guy is a creepy perv and doesn’t deserve her. It could be that he’s not telling the whole truth and she’s either a sheep or she’s fantastically ugly. It could be several other things entirely.
But the question you really have to ask yourself is why The Guardian is even putting this stuff out there. No, I know they’re doing it for the ratings and the shock factor, that’s not at issue. They’re putting it out there because readers are eating it up, and that says a lot of sad things.
Oh, and you should ask why she’s still with him regardless, unless she really is a sheep.

Opinions Mixed as State Takeover Looms in Detroit
Now, you would think that if you took white man out of the equation and let the black man do all the amazing shit he’s gonna do without the oppression faced every day, that perhaps Detroit could be a shining beacon on a hill. No, it’s a bubbling busted open sewer line spraying fecal matter into the air for whole city blocks. It’s corrupt and run by idiots.
“All of us agree that the city has serious financial challenges which must be addressed, however I fundamentally disagree with taking measures that disenfranchise the families I represent in Detroit,” Peters said, in a statement.
Manage? Disenfranchise? Personally I think they ought to level the city and start fresh. It’s just that screwed up.

TSA says Hiring Freeze could Double Waits
Let’s be honest, okay? We didn’t have TSA for the first 32 years of my life and we got along fine without being groped or yelled at or intimidated.

Well, I’d surely like to believe this is a legit story that went down the way they say it did and that it isn’t a glurge story. If he DID walk ten miles in wintry snow to get a job, he needs to be cloned because we need more people like that.
Lemur King's Folly 
I agree completely with the Detroit idiot. They should get the government they voted for and they should have to live with the consequences. No outside help of any kind. No more than other cities without their humongous problems get, at any rate. I say we wall up the city and treat it as the experiment in Democrat rule that it is. If they end up living on rats and raising feral children in the toxic wasteland of the inner city, then in a generation or so, we level the city and solve our problems. They won’t be voting or know how to use email or phones by then anyway.
Yep. Liberal government in action! See how finely it works!
They made their bed at the voting booth – they can lay in it. But don’t ask the rest of us to lay in it for them.
McGoo, good to hear from you. Hope you are well.
Problem I can see is that the liberal bed that we’re being told to lie in has been shat in multiple times. And the washing machine is broken, there is no bleach, and the windows won’t open.
Yeah, unfortunately, those who were in the voting minority end up tarred with the same scummy brush as those who “won.” Not sure how you sort things like that out.
Okay, another comment, another spam bucket.
No link in that one, no cussing.
Are you sure you didn’t just dream sending it, Vee?
Happens to me all the time.
No, wait! Maybe I just imagined that.
You are NOT in my spam bucket. I checked twice.
I suppose it is possible you have been blacklisted by the prefilter. I will see if there is a whitelist or something.
All I said was that bit reminded me of a Saturday Night Live bit.
A funny premise that went on too long.
The nugget thing?
Yes.
One picture would have been enough but someone spent about 3 hours on something that sort of made me chuckle when I saw the first part of the first picture.
Had they actually compared them to Popplers they could have just made one pic and then put up a pic of Lrrr of Omicron Persei 8 as the adult of the species.
That would have been funny.
The female and young were probably there only in order to get a few licks in about the sauces.
At least they captured the cartilagenous eye crunch thing.
Dealing with The Detroit Problem is actually very easy: simply sell the city to Omni Consumer Products Corporation. Let them deal with it.
I’d buy that for a dollar.
If they had civlized gun laws we could buy a 4 or 16 blocks in a square and get Alextopia going.
The nugget thing is just wrong.
The necklace is to die for. For me, leastways.
Detroit should be napalmed.
And you forgot: NOAA has been acquiring ammo, as well. Their excuse: it’s for the fish and game section. But Fish and Game are under the Dept of the Interior. It doesn’t add up.
That last bit should go on the next post. 😀
