It’s a holiday weekend in both countries this weekend. It’s Veteran’s Day in the US,
and Remembrance Day in Canada.
The History major in me says to get out to a ceremony on Monday.
I wasn’t able to serve. Pleurisy got me in my 20s & meant I wouldn’t pass the physical; I know because I checked. I’ve had relatives on both sides of the family serve in the Canadian, US & British armed forces, so I understand the sacrifice even if I never actually made it myself.
One of my favourite stories, which I may have recounted here before, involves my Aunt Judy. My dad’s family was from Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
which just so happened to be the home of a radar station that was part of the Pinetree Line of defence against Soviet bombers.
I asked her one day why she married an American soldier like Uncle Ralph. “Robert,” she said while taking a long drag on a Marlboro Slim, “Kirkland Lake was a very small town. I knew all the boys, and your Uncle looked good in his uniform. I knew where your Uncle could take me. I made the choice to get out.” She saw the world, and then they settled in Texas – New Braunfels to be exact. Nice place. In fact, all three of my dad’s sisters married servicemen from that joint airbase, and none of them ever went back to Kirkland Lake.
To one and all – thank you for your service.

I don’t know what that hashtag means, but I hope the people* of Alabama blame president trump 100%.
*Term does not apply to Roy Moore voters
I haven’t seen anything recent from Sam Gross, but that dude was one sick mofo when he was active.
I can’t find the one where the guy is getting a BJ from the hand dryer in the men’s room. Maybe even the internet draws the line at some point.
There’s always monkeys:
I live in John Callahan’s old neighborhood. Once I realized it and asked around, I was blown away. He really did used to tear ass down the sidewalks in his chair all the time. Anyway, both of them and some others had comics in these Truly Tasteless Comics anthologies in the 90s and I wish I still had them.
So is there some secret reason for blue turf?

Haven’t seen GEICO mime ad until just now. Marcel Marceau screams from beyond the grave.
But silently, because he’s a mime.
In the cemetery, no one can hear you scream.
I feel just like Tom Waits.
Today the Reedley fucking Tigers traveled to Monterrey Peninsula – I have a rough idea of the central hopefully non-burnt coast of my chosen state.
58-38 Reedley fucking tigers.
Don’t any of you fuckers want to play?
Boosh!
Oh, hey the Flyers are in a playoff spot now. Time for a game against a strong conference rival–Boston, in this case–that goes sideways so bad they start calculating the draft lottery.
“A little early contact…”
Yeah, we call it pass interference, but go ahead and close your eyes for Oklahoma when you would have called it on Iowa State.
Gottdam! Iowa State.
Renee Young commenting on her husband getting thrown into barbed wire in another company like she didn’t know he let a dude used a sawzall on him

EDIT: Occurs to me y’all might not wanna see a dude’s forehead get literally sawed open
For the record I am far more in favoUr of pictures of half-nekkid people than pictures of dipshits getting cut open with power tools.
Yeah, I changed it to a link instead after some consideration. I’m numb to meaningless, but ultimately harmless gore.
Nah, you’re good. See below. We’re a fucked up society.
As someone with a weak stomach, the only gore I can handle is Al. And that’s just barely. Fucker should have contested in 2000.
Which is more a comment on society than anything else. Christ, when I’m at the gym watching Netflix and smoking cigarettes while using the elliptical, I’ll dive across the TV screen if some tits show up, but if I’m watching some guy get hacked to pieces with a samurai sword? Eh, whatever Grandma; you knew the risks when you took the machine next to me.
Boots On The Ground report from my son: He’s at a Bill Burr show in Boston and says that Burr is bombing.
“Boston Comedy Show Bomber” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
They didn’t get the message that miscegenation is legal now
“Gunslinger” mention in the Oklahoma-Iowa State game. Everybody drink!
Well, OK, then, everybody drink more.
I hope some yahoo really did that in-store

Iowa State is threatening to make this interesting against Boomer Sooner
Welp, Oklahoma has put a stop to that nonsense.
I turned the teevee box back on. BLAME HIPPO
Sheisse, we ain’t win 2nd half after all.
Coast Guard do SO MUCH and get no respect
like a less-gay Navy, right?
As we used to say when I was in the fleet, “It’s not gay if you’re underway!”

Ryan Leaf is the color guy for the SDSU game tonight. He must really need the money, because he knows what’s looking for him in the basement.
Your blood can’t be sacrificed to the blood god if you sold it all this morning.
Wyoming-Boise State now? Oh late Saturday college football
?itemid=8607839
I made that very joke in my preview text
Probably why it sprung to mind when Wyoming flashed across my TV screen
NC State still winning the 2nd half 10-7. That would have got you a point in the old CBA standings!
Unless I’m hearing things that aren’t being said, (and I’m only on my first beer), Ryan Leaf is doing coloUr for the San Diego State game.
I’d bet you a rail of Percocet that u rite
DERPIEST SHIT EVAR
well, they was holding anyhoo, dumb chucklefucks
Shitty Wolves trying to backdoor cover Mr. Ayo’s insane bet.
Pretty epic dick-shitting, Happy Appy
Hold our beer! – South Cakalaky
I got bounced for the opening of San Jose State-Nevada, because everyone knows that the opening kick-off is the most important part of the game.
It sets the standard for bed shitting to come.
App State is gonna beat South Carolina.
Maybe not
EDIT – probably not
Yeah, much like my senior prom I was a bit premature on that one.
Just kidding. I didn’t come close to getting laid at my prom.
Premature Ejaculation would make a GREAT prom theme!
We did it. We found the good cop.
Possibly also the bad boy
Fucking furries are getting a little too public with their kinks.
AEW has judges out for the title match for some reason and one of them is Dean Malenko, who famously attempted to murder every cruiserweight in WCW
Everybody knows that NC State doesn’t really start playing until the 4th quarter, right?
Sup
Sir
We are off to the theater.
Oh an we fancy
Very much so, yes
Never heard of a titty bar referred to as “theater,” but it works at some level.
Ice Alouettes hold on to beat the … Ice Rams? Ice Chargers?
Regret to inform you that the Flyers are going to overtime for 85th time this year
Never and still don’t get the hype over Amanda Seyfried, plus she’s still just the dead girl from Veronica Mars to me.
u mean teh HOT ded girl ,, smh
Where? – Ed Gein
for the record I fucking hate myself for this joke
now THAT is a corpse you’d pay to be left alone with for half an hour amirite??
“Well I thought it was hilarious.”

– Fitzpatrick Bateman
…there was hype? I thought her sole purpose in films was to be the “average-looking” friend to make the leads look even more attractive
Is she the one who looks like a hammerhead shark with lips?
Apparently, ICE was rolling through Queens today like they were invading Fallujah. Very normal, non-fascist organization.
Ya but that looks like a German Schnouzer, so, justified.
but they brought a PUPPY!!
Don’t let the attire fool you. They aren’t police. They don’t have police powers. They have a very narrow set of law enforcement powers and in principle can get fucked sideways.
In reality, getting slammed face-first on the pavement and detained doesn’t discriminate based on statutory powers.
what they lack in statutory powers, they make up in Suck It, Libtard!!!1111
Rebranding the Schutzstaffel to own the libs
Every time an ICE agent chokes on his own bile and dies and angel gets its wings.

that diamond “price match” guarantee – if you find a lower place, we will dock the pay of our Zimbabwean slave children!
(well, their food allowance, at least)
NC State didn’t even cover 34.5 in the first half. And Son de Clem hasn’t even tried all of Q2.
0-2. Dammit.
