TGIF! Can’t lie, I am properly tuckered out. Mainlining ice playoffs has really disrupted my sleep. And I still have two (2) games to attend in person tomorrow and Monday and they are must-SEA! There will be lots of releasing going on. But enough about me, this is about us!
Survival – Personal Edition
Alright, let’s not be modest. We’re all hot shit and everyone both wants to be us and be with us. Of course, we have discerning tastes because we rule, and as such we must keep ourselves separated from the hoi polloi. Unfortunately, some have delusional aspirations and will thus try following us. Here are some tips to thwart their misguided attempts.
- First of all make sure you’re actually being followed. On main thoroughfares many cars will be heading in the same direction on the same streets. Identify the vehicle you think is tailing you, then make several turns that will form a full loop back to the street you’re on. If they’re still there after this maneuver, you have your answer.
- Now that you’re sure, head towards traffic. Interstate or highway is ideal here. The higher speeds and denser traffic will make it easier to disappear. Remember, no matter what, if you’re being followed never head towards your home or work. No need to key them in to where you spend most of your time.
- Slow down and drive just below the speed limit. Yes, that means your pursuer can easily keep up with you. However, everyone else will be trying to pass you. When you have the opportunity, speed up before someone is trying to pass you and induce them to pull in behind you and put some distance from your tailer. Repeat this procedure as often as possible.
- Find a busy intersection with traffic lights. Approach slowly, or fast, so that you are approaching the intersection as the light is changing to red. Make no mistake, you are aiming to break the law here and run a red light. With any luck, the traffic will ensure you get through and the tail has to stop at the light. If there happens to be a cop car around and pulls you over, even better! Take that ticket while the pursuer has to move on.
- If you’re still on the highway and you’re in a decent crowd, pull the ultimate asshole move and get in the left lane and then dive bomb across all lanes to get to an exit. Make it late enough that you can’t be followed. None the less, after exiting, take a lot of quick turns to hide.
- Once you’ve lost sight of your tail, head to any parking area with a lot of cars and join them. Stay in the car, out of sight, but with eyes on your mirrors. If you’re spotted, get moving again.
- Still being followed at this point? Just drive to the local police station. Park in front, illegally if needed, and head inside and explain your situation.
Alright, you’ve dropped that zero and can get back to your prestigious, fulfilling, and rewarding life. Congrats!

Well that was a weird week.
Crazy busy. People are back on the job site.
It’s actually pretty cool. This is the shit I signed up for.
I’ve got some really cool gear in the shop and making it work and hearing every machine in the shop do its job?
It’s like music.
I conduct while the equipment is running and it’s exquisite.
We also have a shrink wrap machine which is cool.
I’m just now imagining a new portion of STOMP! featuring all job site noises.
I’ll do percussion.
Also, the house had a old fashioned record player with a bunch of vinyls. I saw this one and I cannot stop laughing that this is actually a thing .
I never claimed to be mature
No one likes you better for being mature unless you’re a cheddar
I’d also like to remind everyone michigan is a 420 friendly state so there may have been some edibles passed around like MM’s. (Not while we were shooting)
I do know one person was on mushrooms because I spent a good 10 minutes at the table with them saying funny things to make them laugh.
Me: Headbutt
Friend: laughs
Me……butt munch
Friend: dude stop!
Me:. (while imitated a chicken noise) bawk bawk bawk
Friend: snorts
“That album is a liberal hoax.” – Ben Shapiro
So I had a pretty time a few weekends ago. Me and ten other guys carpooled up to what i thought was a cabin in Michigan for my buddy’s bachelor party.
Arrive there and come to find out it’s not a cabin but a giant ass vacation home with a shit load of amenities. The whole place had a 70s theme, each bedroom was modeled after a different TV show, it had a big ass open living room slash game room filled like a rec hall. It had a hot tub indoors and it could easily reach a fridge.
Had a separate pool house also set up like a ref room with a different hot tub. One of our buddies is a chef and took over cooking a shit to of food, just went beast mode on the grill and just said “come and get it”
We went to a farm that had been converted to a shooting range. Fired a shotgun for the first time ever. My bicep was bruised but I finally got some clay pigeons at the end.
We legit spent an hour looking for someone because they fell asleep in the sauna. We didn’t know there was a sauna until we were about to leave.
It was a good time. If you are trapped in the Midwest like me and you need somewhere to hang your hat for a weekend and you got a could thousand dollars to spend, this place is in Traverse city, but man it was worth it.
Here’s the YouTube links if you want to give it a gander. I wouldn’t mind a dfo retreat here, if the stars were to align
https://youtu.be/ToZZyo19e2A
Skeet shooting is really fun, I was just thinking earlier today that I need to try to find a range around here. Nestle that in your shoulder though, your bicep shouldn’t have anything to do with it
There’s a very special feeling when you hit your first clay pigeon. It’s like dunking on someone. It’s just awesome.
It is pretty cool.
I was not expecting that adrenaline rush. It’s

FOURTH OF JULY MUTHAFUCKA!!!
Lol it was my first time, I knew about the kick back and I still wasn’t ready for it. I switched shotguns and found one that I had a better feel for.
I’m also surprised so many of my friends have shotguns. I knew some of them had handguns, but they were like 8 of them being passed around.
…yes balls this is a set up for a joke
Lighter weight and larger gauge both make for more kick. I’m guessing you were mostly shooting 12 gauges, traditionally they give 20 gauges to women and 28 gauges to frail old people. When I was back in Maryland and shot somewhat regularly I rented a Beretta 20 gauge, but it was so lightweight that it kicked the same as my friend’s heavier 12 gauge over/under
They were all 12 gauges. The first one i used was apparently bought by my friend’s dad at a Walmart in the 80s. No idea what model. The one I like best was a browning double barrel. I only ever loaded it one at a time though because knowing my dumb ass I would forget I had an unspent shell in there
I did get pretty good at cocking the shell straight into the waste barrel though. Didn’t even need to change my stance.
Lady number 5 has earned me doing the dishes for her.
They’re slandering haggis on ESPN.
What the fuck do they think is in sausage?
To be fair, haggis sounds vaguely like DeSantis.
Ew
While I wouldn’t eat it, I do favor DeSantis’s internal organs being ripped out and stuffed into a skin made from his intestines.
Preferably while he watches.
I’d prefer not to be the first one to tell you but, here we go, “That Dahmer/Albert Fish blog that you’ve devoted so much time to? I think it might be taking over your life”.
I think it’s more the ending of ‘Braveheart’ that’s to blame.
What I’m saying is that DeSantis should be drawn and quartered, and if there’s an entity on this planet powerful enough to make that happen it’s probably Disney.
Don’t fuck with the Mouse.
This is a slower burn than Elon and Twitter, but I think it’ll be just as satisfying in the end. This may not be the best timeline, but I’m really digging the bizarre twists.

Teenage Me: “So, in the 2020s is the world a corporate dystopia with cool looking motorcycles and everyone is constantly connected to a global information network?”
Time Travelling Me: [Dragging hands down own face] “I mean … yeah. Sure. But it’s so much fucking stupider than you’re imagining it to be.”
So, some brilliant criminals absconded with some property that was inside our warehouse yard very early this morning. I’ll just stick to the highlights (they’re all incarcerated at the moment]
-they punched a hole into the trunk of a vehicle that an employee left his keys in.
-after punching that hole they ran a heavy chain through it, backed that small car up to a small trailer that had two snowmobiles on it.
-they wrapped the chain around the trailer AND attached a rope to the ATV (that one guy rode in on] to the rear of that trailer.
-Meanwhile, another guy jumped into a truck from our sister company and drove off.
-Our mechanic, showing up to work 1/2 hour after this has occurred, simply logs on to our GPS E-log program and knows exactly where the truck is. It’s stuck on a back road because the guy tried to turn around on a back country road.
-speaking of back country roads, the other guy abandons the snowmobiles on a side road 2 kilometers outside of town. AND THEN DRIVES BACK INTO TOWN and parks the car and throws a tarp over it because…it’s a kind of invisibility cloak?
As I said to my wife, “Thank fucking jeebus for incredibly stupid criminals”.
The hobos are really gonna need to step their shit up if they ever want to get their revenge.
As an episode of “America’s high speed chases” once said to me:
If these guys were smart, they wouldn’t be criminals
How about this guy?
You guys are so fucked. It’s not getting better anytime soon.
Forget about a background check, how about a test of practical intelligence instead?
“I’m not going to hurt you, but, I thought this entire scenario was a good idea, too.”
Sometimes you get a hankering.
Those are some real mental giants there Buddy.
Our mechanic was trying to parse out what their thinking was and I told him, “Stop. Just stop. There was no plan, there was no plan whatsoever”.
The plan was “if we pull this off we can have METH”

I loved me some John Starks back in the day. I hated Jordan with a passion (as one should, because he’s an asshole) and some nobody came off the Knicks bench and managed to outscore him because Jordan didn’t take him seriously. From then on he had to guard Jordan and he was listed as 6’5″ but I saw him up close twice and he was 6′ 3″ and change at the most. He just never stood a chance at all but he was all heart. Before he settled into the role of a 3 point guy he was so aggressive getting to the hoop. Completely fearless for a 3-4 year period.
For no reason at all

Is it just me, or are these guys using a pretty risque drape on their loincloths?
The last time I held up a balcony with my twin brother [we were both wearing togas] it didn’t turn out well. Not saying I’m triggered, but there’s a number of bad memories associated with that fortnight.
True story. Similar to the recent picture of the statue of David thing, there was a chaplain here who asked his landlord to put underwear on the neked statues in his yard. The poor Italian gentlemen was simply flabbergasted. The ladies at the housing office laughed their pretty asses off.
That’s hilarious. Imagine if they used edible underwear, some scary bird scenes would probably occur
It’s my daily challenge to counter the dumb American stereotype.
Lots of dumb Brits too
Evening
I thought I’d end my annual sabbatical from social media
So here I am.
Since when are we considered social media?
Seriously. That’s libelous language.
We’re as antisocial as it gets.
It’s like the anarchy symbol, it’s redundant but practical
Well i can’t change it so let’s just enjoy the pics
Asocial media? Antisocial media? Psychosocial?

Since I deemed it so.
Also this
I guess I can forgive you.
A lot of great shots here but Jesus that Easter Bunny up top is creepy as fuck.
Who ya calling ‘social’?!
Ah dang it all I forgot the spoiler brackets.
Whoever has the power to edit things
Ade due Damballa!
Give me the power I Beg of you!
I HAVE THE POWER! YOUR WISH IS GRANTED!
Are we…. is this place social?

Seems kind of unfair to penalize Lions and Commanders players for betting on NFL games since that’s probably the only way for them to win anything in the NFL
Also it’s literally retarted to bet on themselves to win.
I’m beside myself laughing at the fact that these kids [WHO HAVE LIVED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES WITH PHONES] don’t understand that the dumb shit that they do eventually gets back to their employer’s employer because they share shit with their buddies.
Any player who bets on games after Pete Rose should be banned permanently. Not because Rose is also banned permanently, but because thanks to him, you’d have to be an idiot to think that you can do it and get away with it.
We don’t hire NFL players for their intelligence, and then the game actively destroys whatever smarts they got, so I’m not about penalizing them for being dumb. Especially when well over 50% of ads and coverage is about gambling nowadays, it’s just another reason Goodell should change his name to Mr. Heep O’Cryt
In my heart of hearts, I KNEW he was Irish!
The soulless ginger Irish are the worst
Thawfest done. Bar beside the hotel has Sloan playing, so off we gooooo
What’s the temperature? A friend of mine that lives there said it was supposed to snow last Tuesday?
Snowed here today.
It did here. Didn’t stick though.
Mid teens Celsius. So no need for a jacket

I really want to go to Japan and get ramen, maybe other stuff too, but primarily for getting ramen
I want to go for baseball and the thing I normally see nowadays of the Persona 5 tour of Tokyo. Senorita Weaselo also has things she wants to do there.
Ah, just saw that the #BFIB are in Ayo’s THUG-RIDDEN corner of the universe to play the dummy Dirt ‘Truthers. May the best 8-11 squadron win!
Your stupid team is going to disrupt my drive to SEA the Kraken Saturday.
I will curse your name out loud the entire time.
I SEA what you did there.
Are the best fans in baseball still optimistic on the season? Gigantes fans want MadBum back…
Oh right, I forgot to remind you to impersonate a cop in my area today.

Hippo “undercover” to remove said items (only slight exaggeration)
I respectfully move that we begin referring to Clarence Thomas as “Clearance” Thomas because he is for sale at a very low price.
But he and Alito couldn’t find any takers for this week’s episode of the Handmaid’s Tale!
Consider me pleasantly surprised, but then Gorsuch recognized the threat to commerce in general if the Comstock thing went ahead, And I think he ordered Amy Handmaid to vote with him, and she did as told. Kavanaugh was fucked up and said “Whatever the hot babes say”
If a decision is allowed to stay that calls into question a 20+ year old FDA decision there will be all sort of, and I’m going to use a legal term here, higgledy-piggledy with the markets, and even the right-wingers on the Court, (the ones not batshit insane and/or morally bankrupt, anyway), will never allow to stand.
I frankly doubt Kasmaryk’s, (I probably spelled his name wrong, but that fuckstick doesn’t deserve it), decision gets past even the 5th Circuit, but if it does it’ll lose 7-2 at the Supreme Court.
I am the proud owner of a LOT of wine. I’ve converted some of my bookshelves into temporary wine racks. I also accidentally bought two bottles of port, so yet another reason to find a good cheesemonger in my area
Having a nice rose right now. I just go my wine order from La Vieux Pin!
Delivery wine is the best!

I will happily relieve you of the burden to drink those two bottles of port.
I’m happy to share!
On my way!
Port? I hope you drink it when there’s a storm raging.
Hear me out. Pancake Chips. Crispy ends of the pancakes. I would eat the hell out of those. Or waffle squares, hint of maple syrup and bacon.
I think something like the waffle option exists. The pancake chips would be great if you could keep them from getting soggy
Or mini stroopwaffels in a bag.
Throw a pancake in the toaster and you are in business.
Those are dangerous, they just disappear
Bunch of footedball players suspended for Gambolling, oh no.
Going around a traffic circle twice is handy too, if you’re somewhere civilized with traffic circles.
Dude, we live in America. Those aren’t a thing here yet. And where they are trying to be a thing they’re a huge mess.
But yes, that’s another good tactic.
There’s one in the fancy part of Pasadena and it’s a zoo.
The problem with the 2 in Pasadena is that they are not real turnabouts. They have stop signs, for FUCK’S SAKE!
Quite a few in DC, but not sized correctly since they were part of L’Enfant’s original city plan and were intended to make the city defensible by having a place to station troops and control the major streets
They also have a bunch in downtown Napa that work well
It’s being tried around Yinzburgh with …mixed results.
I’m a convert, especially in suburban neighborhoods. It gets a little hairy until everyone figures out how the two+ lane ones are supposed to work. In theory, even if you do hit someone, it’s rubbing fenders as opposed to full-bore t-bones.
Make no mistake. I love them. I just hate everyone else because they don’t know how to use them.
Pubic hair!? In this economy!?
Do you also send yours to unfortunate folk who are without?
Who can afford razors? Much less the electric bill to run them?
