I think we all enjoyed the sight of Trump’s less-than sold-out showing in Tulsa yesterday. It does feel pretty good when you see some blowhard get hoisted upon his own petard. But it doesn’t mean that he still won’t sweep most of the South & rural Midwest & West.
Likewise, you can’t put faith in hoping most of those attendees will get COVID & prove the haters right. Even if some people get sick, the conspiracy theorists will blame Antifa for spreading it, or that the numbers are inflated just to prove that the libs were correct.
Besides, it’s Father’s Day,

That dry dock AERO plane looks like a Moose….

When I first moved to L.A. I’ll never forget when I saw a flat-bed semi moving north up Motor Avenue in Culver City (I was at the light at Palms) and strapped on the back was a bullet-riddled Wells Fargo armored car. I was shocked. It wasn’t until later I thought “I wonder if that was a movie prop.”
Good God!
Poor lady hasn’t been taught the existence of supporting bras.
“Shaka, when the bras fell….”
I like how you can totally see her tits.
Los Angeles sounds like the Tet Offensive is going on out there, in the distance.

With a guy named Bubba? GET OUT!
You know what movie I haven’t seen in a few decades? Weird Science.

ha ha I remember that! I was as surprised as anyone!
I guess I moved the original photos because all the links are broken. I originally posted them “live” from a cross-country flight I was on. Here they are again:
Center-pivot irrigation:
The dots in this one are all West Texas oil wells:
Grand Canyon:
Those were awesome
Seamus took them and made that post three days later.
I could do that.
Evening
I believe that is correct.

Someone’s enjoying the stranger tonight.
I just saw a squirrel fall out of a tree. 2020 is really starting to scare me.
I have no memory of these people whatsoever, but they’re on every other episode of Mad TV for the first few seasons.

Is a robot’s dad the programmer or the builder?
Builder. Coder’s the mom.
I guess you are saying if they are male it’s like two dads. I was thinking the builder is the absentee father and the coder is the present dad.
I assure you that no one is paying less attention than the coder
That is probably true in the figurative sense I intended also.
Sean Young was one hot and crazy lady, but she was at least kind enough to share her breasts with us in No Way Out.
I had to drive down to San Bernardino to get some weed. Gumby came with me. Gumby gets carsick. He puked the whole way down. Once he got some gummies in him, he was mostly ok the whole way back up, until we came a pube’s width from hitting a ginormous deer. But the good news is I have weed! Happy Father’s Day to those with pups.
Down the 18?
We went down 38 to Redlands, because it’s way less wind-y, but he still barfed up everything he’s ever eaten.
That’s a beautiful way down. The way I’ve noticed is the easiest/least barfy is the 18 going the back way to Lucerne Valley. I think there’s only one switchback at the very end.
It really was a nice ride, except for all the hurling! Right before you get to Mentone there is a weird gravel beach around the trickle that is the mighty Santa Ana river. Lot’s of people there today, it always makes me laugh!
My dad was stationed at Norton AFB in the mid 70s when I was in high school; we used to hang out and occasionally throw oranges at passing cars on 38 (also called Lugonia Avenue) there in Redlands. I lived one block east of the University of Redlands, at 1333 E. Colton Avenue (how the hell do I remember that). We HS students used to try and go get the hookup with the U of R co-eds, but they just laughed at us. The lady that lived next door to us was a Filipino lady who had fought with the guerrillas in the Philippines in WWII, married some MI6 or OSS guy, and ended up with a PhD in English literature teaching same down the street at U of R. I did her yardwork and kept her pool clean for the couple of years we lived there. I loved living in Redlands.
I was on Colton briefly today, and 38 is still Lugonia in Redlands. I like Redlands too, there are some cool old houses there.
“Did her yardwork”…
I see what you did there… nice.
But at least he kept her “pool” clean!
I’m glad you see it, because I don’t…:-)
I’m partial to the back road into Lucerne Valley but it does wear on the brakes a bit.

Would pet.
I got scratched; blood poisoning is not that bad.
I could do that.
As could I, I mean how hard is it to take a beating like that?
Yeah, but can you do it without getting an erection?
Easily, as long as I don’t take one of my pills I don’t have to worry about it.
I could do that.
If I wanted my feet behind my head, I’d just go to jail.

Whatcha doin’ later?
At the current rate, apparently you.
If you are in that posture, I’ll be quick.

Probably one of my favourite versions of this song. Beautiful.
Keep going
Did a zoom call with both daughters, all 3 granddaughters, my best friend and his wife and 2 nephews and 1 niece. It was fantastic and sad as fuck that we weren’t physically in the same room. This family has outspoken love to share.
We’re going to make this a monthly thing until we actually can be in a room together.
I don’t do zoom with the family, but do them weekly with work where everyone talks about how much they miss everybody while I have video turned off so they don’t see me using this good opportunity to progress through the Yakuza games.

HBO Max has fucking Mad TV and Studio Ghibli, but somehow doesn’t offer Tales From the Crypt.
This is still, despite it’s age, a pretty cool tune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDgefX2sZRU
Absolutely.
Goddamn right.
Indeed.
I got to sleep in until 6 am this morning. Toddler burst in Happy Fathers Day!!
Me: “Is there soccerball on tv and did mom make coffee?”
Him “Yeeessss”and then body splashes in my nether regions.
Good morning indeed.
Enough knees to the groin will prevent more little colas from being created
We’ve met, you know how old I am. I got that surgically fixed pretty much straight away after Decilitre was born and healthy.
haha. Wasn’t sure.
Goddamn, Phil LaMarr did a lot of voices. Apparently, he’s worth $3 million now, so he’s gotten exactly one dollar for every job he’s had.

I’m watching the Grand Tour Colombia special. So good.
Guy fucking the cow and Clarkson’s reaction to same was my favorite part. Assuming you’ve already seen it and I didn’t just do a huge spoiler.
DAMMIT.
I mean, I’ll beat off anyway, but STILL.
It’s not like I gave up that Darth is Luke’s dad or who shot JR or sumptin’.
Repost from one of the websites of dissent that I frequent.
happy fathers day to the guy who cheated on the mother of his first three children with the mother of his fourth child and cheated on her with the mother of his fifth child and cheated on her with a porn actress who he paid to shut the fuck up about it. republican family values!
How fucking pathetic.
Happy father’s day DFO
Youngest GTD made a caramel cheesecake for dessert and we ordered in from a local deli. So twas a good day. Hope yours was as well
The spawn contacted me to utter the ritual phrases. Honestly, I am happy when they call me for some thing other than money for once. The boy is a lot better than the girl at just calling me to talk and catch up, but is more likely to need money.
The joy of having a kid on the spectrum is getting a phone call that starts “Hi, Dad. I’m calling because Grandma said I had to” and then awkward silence and then random video game questions.
I have issues making small talk at anytime. Unless it is a work call I find all calls excruciatingly painful, the only person I have ever felt comfortable on the phone with is my wife. So I understand the awkwardness, usually I am the cause.
Meaning, I understand how painful it can be not being able to connect with someone you want to be talk to freely and comfortably.
Oh, we definitely connect on a ton of shit. Enough common ground in tastes and interests, though he doesn’t like sports (alas). He just struggles with social norms like that, especially over the phone. I’ve always hated uncomfortable small talk on the phone and people not understanding it’s time to hang up, and the monkey’s paw definitely closed a finger on that one.
Glad you are able to have some areas of mutual interest. I have to really feel comfortable with someone before I can talk to or around them. My son is the same way, plus like you and you son, my son and i have lots of the same areas of interest. As he is on my kindle account, he really messes up my reading lists by finishing stuff before I can get to them.
Mine’s going through puberty at the moment, so our tech issues are more like “How did he gain access to porn through the weather app?” I find it a far more entertaining and interesting exercise than his mother does.
I would like to know how he did that myself.
In one case, he found a link in the fine print in the EULA of an integrated Samsung app that couldn’t be uninstalled or disabled that launched a stand-alone browser. I can’t fathom the hours of searching it would have taken to find that.
My son told me that the best hackers are the persistent ones with great attention to detail, which explains why he is not a hacker.
I have no children that I have ever been made aware or accused of, so my Father’s Day for consists of calling my dad for a quick 5 minute chat. My parents and I mutually agreed to give up on Xmas/birthday/mother’s day/father’s day gift/card exchanges 3 decades ago, except for a quick phone call. I mean, we are all well enough off to buy anything we need or want, so an unsolicited gift that no recipient really needed just generated the “Now I have another thing I don’t need that I will have to get rid of at some point.” One of the only exceptions to this was a collection of matching blown glass vases I bought in Venice that went well with the bedroom set in the house they bought back in about 2000 or so.
But I’m glad folks are able to enjoy this and all other Hallmark Holidays.
don’t fuck with me
Since I don’t have a father, I yelled at people like I was their drunken father and then deleted Facebook
/long story but wife and I have been living apart for the last two years because our two sons are going to different high schools and we’re lucky to have two residences. ATM our respective jobs are taking their toll.
Her: “You’re going to cheat on me if you haven’t already.”
Me: “I barely have the energy to rebuild our present relationship. I sure as hell am not going to start a new one from scratch.”
Her: “Uh… Okay then.”
That’s brilliant.
Well shit. I’m already inside this giant cake being delivered to your house, now what?
Happy Father’s Day, assholes.
