I was so busy reading links I almost forgot to leave a comment. Fixed!
A church without WiFi? Knew there was a reason I quit going.
I always so love when you do this post!!!! Hugs, RO
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the links with wisdom, it was the links with foolishness.
Thanks for the laughs and the sad ones.
Sorry Mr Dickens, too.
Interesting lineup this week as always, thanks!
I loved Ro's post. The BDSM and handcuffs part made me laugh. She's fun.
The cat wearing the glasses made me laugh out loud. My daughter had a cat that she rescued from the street. He was old and in bad shape but she gave him a good life while he was here. He just walked into her apartment one day and never left so she kept him but the vet couldn't do much for him. He was old and they didn't now how long he had been a stray. I've never had a cat and he was the only one I've been around. He was sweet.
So many fun links! It really did take me multiple hours to make it to the end, but I am an improved person for it.
Thank you for the links, too!
Regards,
Tengrain
You always send me down the rabbit hole with these posts!
LoL
Naughty, naughty Infidel. I guess that’s why I keep coming back after the weekend. They’re a good palate cleanser after all week’s fuckery.
XoXo
Glad to provide some entertainment -- even if some of it's naughty occasionally.
Hi Infidel!
A day late and a dollar short once again!
I guess Twitler saw that sign, and that's the reason he's never had a dog.
Loved the Saturday jokes, even on a Monday (I had to google Affogato, because I never heard of it before).
Does the emu want to use the phone, or does he want to dance? Either way, glad to see he finally got a day off from Liberty Mutual.
I live in Floriduhhh. Be afraid of the lizards, no matter how lazy they seem.
I might have a truck named after me one day, but I'm afraid it will be because I might need one of those loud beeping back-up alarms if my ass gets any bigger.
War face is very catchy. Too bad the generals didn't have it when Twitler called them dopes and babies. Or maybe they needed some war balls.
I don't think I want to eat anything that requires me to sign a waiver first.
Time to empty the dog and fill him back up again. He went to the vet today, so he's half traumatized and half exhausted. A poop and a meal will reset his doggie guts. I'll be back later to click some more.
Thanks for the link over to The Raisin!
Oh, I wouldn't want those gators anywhere near me either. Or an emu.
I don't know about Trump, but pets are not for everyone. I doubt I could even keep cockroaches alive.....
Naughty occasionally. Keep it up Infidel! Oh err, missus and all that. Which brings me to INCELs... One wonders if they have always been with us, whether they are a product of the internet age or (most likely) an undercurrent of pathetic (perhaps more to be pitied than laughed at) gits that, like so many movements, has become both a bigger thing and also more noticeable due to the web. Much in the same way I can more easily find people to discuss the philosophy of mathematics or the works of Borges. It is an interesting question. Does the universality of the 'net create, augment or merely make more obvious the utter strangeness of the human condition?
And it is weird. In October I'll have been married for 14 years to a woman I met in 1999. How did this sort of state of affairs come to pass? Well, to answer that somewhat obliquely, perhaps rather than being miserable sods the INCELs could channel their efforts into being charming, pleasant, witty and actually liking women. I know that is radical but it's always worked for me. And for almost everyone else. Much the same also seems to work for homosexual relationships. Being a misanthropic nutters somehow doesn't. Odd that.
The earliest place I've seen a variation of that iceberg (water for South Africa) idea was in Brewster's Millions - IMDb says that movie is from 1985. I haven't seen the earlier one (1945) so I don't know what ideas were floated there.
Nick: There have probably always been guys like that, but the internet enabled them to communicate with each other and make it an "identity". That's true of a lot of kinds of people that have suddenly acquired the ability to form groups instead of just being isolated individuals.
Some people perversely get more satisfaction out of being able to bitch about a problem than out of solving it. I have a feeling that's the case here.
MJ: Haven't heard of that movie, but it's not surprising that the thought has occurred to people in the past. The practicalities are pretty daunting, though.
At The Movies, Republican Style !!! HAHAHAHAHA I loved that one.
A lot of classic titles there.....
