I’m happy to say that, thanks to the efforts of our esteemed Internet Dad,
the site transfer has held up & looks to be stable going forward. So “huzzah!” for the bestest boss in all of flyover country.
And again, on behalf of us all, thanks for sticking around during the reconstruction. Here’s hoping we don’t have to do this again until the next pandemic.

Looks like a good Saturday night – little exposition from me, and lots of quality sports on the teevee. Have at it!
You can almost see my house! (if you were sitting on the other side of the plane)

Something to look forward to
If I ever wanted to see what life was like back in my 30’s I could scroll down an hour on this post.
Nah man I done my time.
Hey, just make me breakfast and we’re good.
Kidding. Let’s rock.

(I have a comment awaiting approval and I swear it’s only partially about abusing underage sheep)
Sorry – I was in the shitter.
Hey all.
Drinking and gonna keep doing that.
Well hell.
How about we drink things together?
That could be fun.
Today’s beers have included but are not limited to a Portland sour, a SoCal IPA, a flight of random local IPAs from Paperback Brewing, an SF Yuzu and Bayleaf Witbier (h/t zymm), and a Mikkeller raspberry blush. I’m forgetting at least one and the night is young.
Excellent. Mine were bought for me.
They include Stella Artois and Coors Light.
Whatever.
Blessed are the peacemakers

Testing
Yay, I changed my avatar! They said it couldn’t be done (I said it couldn’t be done)
NICE!!
It’s a good one, huh. Took me awhile to find it.
It has the Balls seal of approval.
That seal is a blown seal.

New Avatar. Scandalous.
He’s asleep. Now I just need to pop off the toilet and fire off a couple of shots to get back to sleep with a maybe sleeping pile of judgement eyeing me up for scorn tomorrow morning….as I make breakfast for our kids. Marriage is fucking awesome. J
My 2 year old just woke up crying. Real crying , like he was afraid or in pain. I hopped out of bed to comfort him.
Ah shit, he’s crying again. Now I have to measure comforting him against pissing off my wife, who wants me to just leave him alone until morning.
When taking care of a kid will make you hate your spouse. Fun times. Fear not: she hates me WAY more. And she ain’t wrong (vodka).
When our daughter was around that age she would do what you just described – wake up bawling. She’s be inconsolable, and would cry for a good 15-20 minutes. Never knew why. Good for one every couple of weeks for about a year.
Kids that age have night terrors. Not full fledged nightmares, and they usually do get right back to sleep.
Jizz mop, aisle 3!
What do they sell there?
They have a weird law here in Ohio, where you’re allowed to buy fireworks in Ohio, but not to legally set them off in Ohio. You have to sign a form where you swear that you’re absolutely not setting them off in Ohio.
I really hope they find a new love interest in season 2 of The Order. And then find a new love interest for that person, because I really do not need to see any more of the two current leads.
The show closed out its first season with a stripped down, soulful cover of Roxette’s “Must Have Been Love” and the Ark of the Covenant made a cameo for no discernible reason. I think it’s pretty clear that this show has found its stride.
Ok we’re watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I’m getting hammered. What’s up with y’all?
I’m definitely doing one of those things.
Makes Disney plus worth it, right?
Jessica Rabbit actually.
I’m actually wrapping things up for the night to read my book (Revelation Space).
I’m wrapping my thing up for something else.
Just finished some lamb chops with white beans and escarole. Drinking wine and playing Football Manager for the first time in a while. I think my team plays better when I drink.
That sounds fucking outstanding. When does your kitchen start offering delivery?
Tricky, because it’s a one-man operation, and he’s rarely sober enough to drive.
i’ve been super-productive all week but today was exceptional, up since six a.m. i rewarded myself with steak and eggs and now i’m eating ice cream.
Mrs. Cornblower is dealing with hot flashes and we’ve reached an understanding that the best way for me to help is to shut the fuck up and keep drinking more.
Look, I’m not saying ‘Logan’s Run’ was perfect, but it had some ideas worth hearing out.
Keep her in good chocolate and stay out of her way. Trust me.
WAY ahead of you. I’ve been buying 72% dark chocolate candy bars for months. Expensive? Yes. Better than being beaten to death with a frying pan by a sweaty crying woman? Also yes.
You’re no dummy, I don’t care what they say about you!
I love you too, Rob.
You’re the best, Internet Dad. I hope you someday find those cigarettes you’ve spent so much time looking for.

“We’re in all the magazines/Gulping down Thorazines”
That album turned me on to punk.
Me too! It’s still my favorite of theirs.
Gotta say it out loud for people to believe it.
Three beers in. Do I go for a stout to end the night?
/ this is a rhetorical question
After a few beers “stout” is the best youre gonna get from me, buddy.
End?
I’m thinking it would be pretty fun to go to both the International Gay Rodeo and the Calgary Stampede when they both happen again and compare and contrast
ah don’t recommend asking Buddy wut he considers a “Calgary Stampede”
At the Stampede the women still dress like season three of “Hee Haw”.
Melatonin, an edible, glass of red wine, oh there will hopefully be sleep.
either that, or you come to consciousness a few hours later, nekkid on the subway
Melatonin rules.

Just made sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week. I steeped some peppercorns in the gin for a bit, and studded the cucumber slice with some more.
I like it. For round 2 I might try just a squeeze of lime juice, but I’m not sure it’ll be an improvement. I’m just doing it for, you know, science.
I was wondering how the lime would work. Maybe a little basil in there next time?
Don’t have any basil, so that’ll have to wait for another time. I think it might overwhelm the cucumber though.
The version with lime is ok, but I think I prefer the original version. Even using 1/3 oz of lime juice really makes it citrusy. Which is fine, but it loses the subtlety.

I don’t understand why we have all these levies and property taxes to fund schools when this place is totally free.
And highly educational: the history of con artistry, personal finance, mixology, the culinary arts, music, glamour photography, and of course dick jokes.
And radial aircraft engines
That’s “first president to be impeached” Andrew Johnson to you, buddy.

I wonder if acting like a gentleman can be achieved without seeming uppity. A well-timed crotch scratch might do.
Being polite and urbane can be achieved without being perceived as uppity. I find dressing like a complete slob and never washing my automobile helps.
I’ve been doing that for a decade.

I don’t see any crap there. Just shitty framing.
Foxes be discrete amirite!
Nice ass!
It’s clearly a fox. Nailed it.
You did what to it?!?
Time to cook that salmon that’s in the fridge, because the odds of the Dr. Mrs. cooking it are approximately the same of the odds of it cooking itself.
Never “cook” salmon. Grill it, lightly, with just enough oil to keep from tearing it up on the grill.
I poached salmon once
Was Prince Phillip mad?
He asked me if I was Scottish
“Elizabeth, those filthy Picts are at it again.”
“The Gyro. The Gyro…”
Gyro?
Yes please!
I’d put that in my mouth.
If you know what I mean.

SexiMecsi futbol indeed. So this is what it like to support a club that actually can win once in awhile. Tacos for everyone!
Oh hell yes the Puebla style is Tacos Arabes.
PUEBLA!!
Hot take: Ho Chi Minh was gay.
No wonder your country bombed the hell out of his trail back in the day. Domino Theory and all.
Liberace wore a lot of clothes that looked like dominos. And you know what they say about Liberace…He was (is?) very, VERY opposed to French imperialism including the 20th remnants of such in Vietnam.
Van Cliburn’s foreign policy puts Liberace’s to shame. It was the former that created the “Black Key Detente”.
People forget Kaiser Wilhelm was just following Handel’s “Alliance in C Major” policy when he joined WW1
“Large Pianists and Their Role in European Geopolitics” is the name of my Golden Retriever.
“Heel LPTREG!”
More like Ho Chi Men amirite?
Yes, but James Baldwin gay or Mario Cantone gay?

I absolutely played the shit out of that “Paperboy” video game. That and the Indiana Jones/Temple of Doom one were my middle school convenience store favoUrites.
Ayup. I remember jamming the SHIT out of the handlebar/control thing on the console game to avoid getting smacked like in the clip above and being yelled at by the restaurant owner about it…
When I built my first RetroPi, that was one of the first arcade games I loaded up. It’s so fucking hard.
Yuge game in Prairieland Canadia tonight, followed up by a SexcsiMexi derby.
“Testicles” is a much better word if you pronounce it so it rhymes with Pericles
The Sword of Testicles dangling over my head fills me with dread. And wonder. How much does it cost?
