In case you aren’t depressed enough already, read this. Fucking Rooskies, man.
There’s not much one can do, though. Nuke them, and the world ends. Do nothing, and feel like the West is just letting YET ANOTHER genocide happen. I hate this timeline.
Sportsball? Apologies, I had family duty so only saw Very Disappointing Everton and Men Untied. Us Bitter Blues thank United with all our hearts, for their sleepwalking “effort.”
I presume there is basedball happening, but Hippo ain’t care. Tomorrow morning, City of Men host the Redshite. A win would essentially clinch the title. A loss would make Hippo even MOAR furioso. Bet accordingly.
Balls Update:
For some really weird reason, teh Hippo is spending time with actual living and breathing physical human beings today. To be frank, this is concerning.
Anyhoo, he asked in the Clubhouse if anyone wanted to add something to this thread and I read it and thought it needed an injection of positivity. Therefore, I present to you the Top Ten Good Things that happened this week:
1 – Brick’s ass is spic and span clean! Also, disease-free.
2 – I started the Amsterdam puzzle and it doesn’t look as difficult as I thought.
3 – Rehab is going well for one of our sons and all indications are that he’s well in his way to recovery.
4 – Did you see the titties and asses that Mr. Ayo gifted us last night??
5 – The Adelaide Crows won their third AFLW Premiership last night.
6 – COVID cases are rising dramatically, but hospitalizations and deaths are not. It seems it has finally become another flu.
7 – We finally got to see Professor Tricias and she did not disappoint.
8 – Bi-partisanship is sorta back? There’s a new Supreme Court Justice, weed might become legal federally, and Daylight Savings Time might become permanent thanks to Congress finally agreeing on things.
9 – I did not cut myself shaving my balls.
AND FINALLY….
10 – The Flight Attendant Season 2 is premiering this month and the trailer just got released!
(Mighty Whitey is going to win the C’Ship – L_Cola)

Say what you will about The Big Bang Theory (fun fact: physicists are now saying The Big Bang Theory might be wrong), but Kaley Cuoco can get it and she’s amazing in that show. She’s also great on the animated Harley Quinn series. Enjoy your evening!
Shoulders for teh Hippo!
Word up, fellow degenerates…
Whelp, it’s 3:30 AM out here in the PNW, so I guess that might just give you a clue about where my mind is at…
SO, I’m thinking that:
1) Genome analysis could be run on genetically similar psilocybin producing vs non-psilocybin producing mushrooms to determine what strand(s) of dna are responsible for producing silly-cybin
2) Use CRISPR-Cas9 editing to snip those strands, and then
3) Insert them into beer yeast as done previously – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31280424/
So, a viable beer yeast that would also produce psilocybin. — WOO
(I suppose, for Hiippo, we might be able to do the same with the morphine and thebiane producing snippets of the poppy.. who knows)
Instead of taking the honor of the new variation on the strain, I would suggest it be
called p.spicoli
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY, PEOPLE!!!
(very aware this might be the rantings of a madman, but hey..)
also, might be able to produce new and beneficial drugs.
Like ones that would kill pain, but not stop your heart, perchance….
(not to mention all sorts of fun filled variations.. the mind reels at the prospect)
& I know, there is probably a bazillion reasons why this hair brained idea could never actually work, but it’s a nice dream..

This is GENIUS!
“the first time in my life that I would be unconscious”
like not including pass out drunk? Not to be smarmy, just curious, as many of us here are chronic inebriates.
I’m looking out of my bedroom window and I can see the Vincent Thomas Bridge and there’s a low lying fog just starting to rise up from the harbor and I can smell the ocean and it’s fucking beautiful.
They have these things out here called dispensaries and they have this…
… gently used flesh light that is still sticky?
I think it currently resides in Canada so sticky is pretty much a given.
One of the many reasons I am never ever leaving California.

& until they decrim other certain things, shro omery.org is a pretty good resource. (I would suggest using a TOR & VPN though, especially if you might “take matters into your own hands” as it is quite easy to do)
We bought a cheap steam cleaner for the floors and got a chance to use it today. Pluses and minuses from the traditional mopping, but not bad overall.
I made a rather strong drink of vodka and Midori in a tall glass. My poor daughter has been cooking with me in the kitchen and listening to my drunk and ramblings. At least she gets to spend the next week in Redondo Beach with her uncle and Dr Aunt (not related to Dr Mrs. RTD).
Midori is verra sticky stuff. You will be glad you have that steam mop tomorrow when you wake up on the kitchen floor and have hazy flashbacks of gyrating wildly, flinging your oddly green cocktail hither and yon, to the musical stylings of Harry Belafonte. 🎵🎶Come Mr. Tallyman, tally me bananas🎶
I have that song on my Prime music account. And it makes me move my body on time. Believe me.
Ohio Primary Update: The Republicans has moved on and started working the shaft while slowing working down the 1+ inches to Donald Trump’s shriveled up balls.
At this point, all I need to know if who in the GOP isn’t kissing Trump’s ass. I don’t care what they’s done or what they want to do if he wins. I just want to vote for the not-Trump guy.
You can. It’s called “The Democrat”
I’m saving that for the General Election. Also, Ohio Democrats aren’t the cream of the crop. The only competent Ohio Democrat I’ve seen is Sherrod Brown, and I’m not entire convinced he’s not an animatronic puppet made from non-Ohio member of the Democratic Party (mainstream faction).
EDIT:
Also, if the Democratic Party keeps going left, it makes Republican Refugees like me hesitant to leave the herd and join the drove. You can’t be a big tent party if you keep moving the stakes. Nothing against any of you here at DFO; just venting at some of your Democratic Compatriots.
Not the cream of the crop>Nazis
They’re all kissing Trump’s ass here in Ohio.
I watch Jeopardy. I’m a fan. I’ve been on the show. I think I might have to take a break from it for a while – it’s just nonstop political ads. And they’re getting crazier by the minute. I just sit and boil. It can’t be good for my mental health.
Josh Mandel has one using the Edmund Pettus Bridge and Martin Luther King as proof that CRT should be abolished, which is some serious next-level chutzpah.
Mike Gibbons has one where some guy says something about how Mike Gibbons has basically gone to war because Some’s Guy’s son was in the military something something arglebargle.
JD Vance is going to stop illegals from crossing the border, getting Ma Vance hooked on oxy, and voting Democrat.
Some other guys is gonna stamp out China. And Jane Timkin is conspicuous by her absence.

Beer tastes better when you feel like you’ve earned it.
But it’s not like it doesn’t still taste delicious when you haven’t.
I did some good stuff today myself including laundry and a four mile harbor walk and damn sure earned this lovely bottle of pinot noir.
Pee No noir sounds like a very specific golden showers adult movie style. I don’t judge. You be you. And don’t be afraid to give recommendations.
I did chores all day today, and didn’t even finish everything on my list. Fuck it. It’s time for a beer.
Also, kudos to everyone for such robust participation in Request Line this week!
I vacuumed my room for the first time in forever. Its a unique feeling seeing a vacuum cleaner backfire.
You should – those things will sneak up on you in a heartbeat if you let your guard down.
I can’t get a roomba.
I’m a Class-2 Hoarder. The carpet space increases and decreases over time like the beach between the tides.
Here are excerpts from my colonoscopy report:
Brick Meathook is a handsome, muscular, and strapping male who presents today for a colonoscopy.
Anesthesia: per anesthesiologist
Extent of exam: Cecum
Quality of prep: good
Withdrawal time: approximately 8 min
Description of Procedure:
Briefing and Time out process occurred immediately before the
procedure by verifying correct patient, allergies, procedure, plan and appropriate equipment available. The patient was placed in the left lateral decubitus sexulus position for maximum exposure of his very attractive asshole. He was monitored with intermittent blood pressure, cardiac monitoring, capnography and continuous pulse oximetry, and all of our eyeballs were just locked onto that sphincter, which we all agreed was the best we’d ever seen and that included observers from outside the room, which remained within the normal range throughout the course of the procedure.
Rectal exam: A digital rectal exam was performed which was extremely satisfying.
Following this the Olympus VX2000 PileDriver videocolonoscope was passed under direct visualization to the cecum. Ileocecal valve and appediceal orifice were identified. The scope was inserted and withdrawn at a rapidly increasing rate, pounding away at that hot hot ass, punishing it to the maximum degree, as all mucosal surfaces were inspected including a retroflex view of the rectum and a good view of the patient’s back molars.
FINDINGS:
– Rectum: sexy
– Patient to return weekly for repeat of procedure for the next three years
I’m no doctor but I’m not quite sure what to make of this.
Did someone say colonoscopy?
I had a session with Lacey five days before my procedure, and the doctors all said that they thought it was a real classy move.
Aw, I’m overdue but also don’t live there anymore
Based on the findings, you may be able to get paid for this weekly visits. Turn it into a reliable side hustle.
They were shocked you hadn’t been chloroformed before.

Hey, I’m not sure if any of you have experienced this before, but I’m a little drunk.
That was me last night. But it wasn’t a *good* drunk, if you know what I mean. I didn’t have much fun, and I felt like shit today. Oh well. Practice makes perfect.
Getting there, with an assist from a cute little coconut number that wandered in from Colorado a few weeks back.
If by “a little” you mean “staggeringly”, then sure….
Yeah, you’d need knocked out for that.
If Nuclear Weapons weren’t invented, Russia would be apportioned out by now and Putin would either have eaten his gun or be swinging from a rope.
Fucking Einstein, amirite?
Sup
“How much soccer are you going to watch today?”
“I have COVID what the hell else am I going to do???”
/would have watched same amount with no virus
“FOR THAT LAST GODDAMN TIME IT’S LESSER FOOTY!!!!”
But then what took the picture?!
My iPhone 12 which is a fucking amazing camera took that photo. It is replacing my Sony RX-100VA in the arsenal because they overlap too much. But see that up there? That’s my new (used) Sony A7III with my old Leica 50mm f/2 on it. Now that’s a fucking camera, to be eclipsed only when I add the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 that I’m going to buy as soon as I see a good price on the used market. I only buy camera gear used; buying new is dumb.
I’ve heard of F Troop but F-Stop?!
I very rarely watch MLS unless live, but damn you Spam I tune in to El Trafico when its on.
Thank you Spam, this game was awesome.
Starting now: Angels host the Cheating Astros and it’s Verlander v. Syndergaard.
Appointment viewing and the MLB package is currently free if you have DirecTV.
And it was a damn fine game if I do say myself. Thor looked like he had all of his arsenal.
Also new book alert which sounds Rocking

Sending this to all my Russian friends just to let them know who’s boss: Ivan the Terrible? More like Ivan the REALLY Terrible got em.
Just another slave to sweet lady propane….
Found a funny;
microwave: would you like your food too hot or too cold
me: what if you cooked it just right
microwave: wHaT iF You COoKeD it JuST RiGht lmao ok goldilocks
If I cook oatmeal for six minutes and sixty-six seconds at a power setting of four it comes out perfect. I have to measure the oatmeal very carefully, though.
The Princess cruise ship is leaving port and it plays a really shitty version of the Love Boat theme song over and over and it echoes across the entire harbor area for miles. There it goes again.
Did I ever mention that I hated that stupid show? Toss up between it and Fantasy Island for shitty things the 70’s forced on us.
Oh, and CB radios too.
set a course for adventure, your mind for a new roooommmmmaaaaaannnnce!!
Dammit!
On this issue I would agree with the hard-core 2nd Amendment types that you should be allowed to own and operate your own attack submarine.
“Dead Wake Part 2.”
I like it.
I don’t know, things didn’t go so well the last time someone had their own private submarine.

That whole story remains insane.
She really DOES have excellent shoulder game. And thanks FOAR pitching in! I ran into the door 10 minutes ago, and took an elephantine shit. This is how the body reacts to its one steak per year.
/fuck me, it was good though
“Elephantine” or Hippopotamusine?
Didja spray it with your tail?
Hooray for my ass? My ass!
Here’s lunch at Versailles. Black bean soup, rice, and plantains. Cubans have a different word for each one of these.
I could go for that! I think there’s a Cuban resto in Palm Springs, I must consult the Oracle.
The place in Raleigh (Cuban/Argentinian) with the kickass plantains shut down during the pandemic. Very sad Hippo.
I’ve been to the Versailles that used to be in Manhattan Beach and it was very good. Their roast pork is excellant.
I thought Versailles was in France? Lousy pubic edumashun.
I have eaten there several times AND ordered delivery.
Good times.
Heard this & thought of you, Hippo…
