Thanks for the link to my blog article making like of the Suez traffic, Infidel!
However, I encourage you to add the link to the tracking website "Is The Ship Still Stuck?" so that people can keep track of, you know, if the Ever Given is still stuck. ;-)

(1) Ha ha, eldritch evil! (2) The informative guide to Canadian provinces is actually entirely accurate, LOL! (3) OMG the no-balls tattoo! (4) Scotty was a class act!
Of course, lots of good stuff here as usual, I was browsing these earlier today. But one thing that was weird to me that you mentioned, was that you were insulted for being "single", and I viewed the link on that. I was somewhat shocked, I don't believe I ever even heard someone insulting a person for being single(?). I myself admire single folks to a degree, because they are very self reliant, I know several single people (both genders), and a few friends that have said they never were intersted in marrying, etc. Well, at least if someone ever says that to you again ... you can tell them "At least I'm self reliant ... and I'm an available bachelor for dating any time I choose ...". Well, it's not all that bad though, I've been called plenty ... from queer, commie, ni**er lover (when I dated a black woman), to name a few ... ohhh yeah, don't let me forget ... a "devil worshipper".
LOL
I cackled at the idea of the people who have a tat done and they have no idea what it means. The puppy tattoo was quite clear though. I'd think the guy could get sued for false advertisement, though. He's not shooting blanks.
The idea of Mars as an ocean planet does not surprise me.
Once Black, Hispanic, Asian and Native American people start buying weapons en masse, you'll see regulations will start popping up.
XOXO
p.s. thanks for the shoutout!
Paul: I guess now they'll have to mothball that site until the next time it happens.
Debra: There's usually a certain deeper truth behind these things (referring to the cat, the province guide, and the tattoo). Obviously Doohan was a decent guy, not like some of the egotistical and self-absorbed actors you hear about.
Ranch: I think the gist of the insult is "you're too unpleasant to attract somebody". People can turn anything into an insult, if they're the type inclined to do that.
Sixpence: Since tattoos are pretty difficult to get rid of, he'll need to get a vasectomy so it's not false advertising (it's probably best if people like that don't reproduce, anyway).
I had to look up the "Biden wants to seize guns" thing (at "Don't throw a lit match on a powder keg" and Snopes points out there is a bit of nuance not addressed in the sensational headlines.

Infidel: The insult you refer to reminds me of an old joke:
Q: What do lawyers use for birth control?
A: Their personalities.
Anyway, here's a reminder not to break the law .
