TGIF! Long weekend ahead and it’s Friday, so I’m going to make this short and sweet.
Survival – Personal Edition
Let’s imagine future you next winter is stuck on a snowy mountain and need shelter. Let’s build a trench!
- Plan the trench. Make sure the opening to at a right angle to the wind. We’re not building a wind tunnel here Also, the trench needs to be just wide and long enough to accommodate you while lying down. It should deep enough that the sides are just a tad taller than you.
- The opening should be wider and flatter than taper at to the other end. Your head will be the one near the opening. Use a shovel or other flat tools (cooking pan, wide stick) to dig the trench.
- Cover the trench with branches then a tarp then a light layer of snow. Use a backpack or anther solid object as the door at the opening. It needs to block most of the wind while still providing ventilation.
Alternately, if you’re on the side of the mountain with no flat areas, you can build a snow cave.
- Find an area with a large snowdrift with deep snow. If possible, plan the opening to be at a right angle to the wind.
- Dig a narrow tunnel into the slope at a slightly upward angle. A few feet into the tunnel, dig out a flat cavern. The cavern needs to be long and wide enough to lie down in without touching the sides.
- Make the roof of the cavern into a dome shape. This will prevent it from collapsing on you. Also, make sure you are far enough from the surface to keep it from collapsing. You’ll need at least one foot.
- Add a hole from the roof to the surface for ventilation.
That should buy you some much needed comfort and time while stuck on the mountain. Good luck!

Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to what’s most important: Commenting and drinking!
I think the closest game UConn had in the tournament was a 13-point win. Not sure “hard fought” is accurate, but I suspect it’s a go-to line in everyone of these things.

This just in
Other than “Rusell Wilson” throwing four picks in Week 6, this is entirely accurate.
I think gold diggers get a bad rap. Unjustly. If an elderly wants to dote on whorish individuals, so what? It’s transactional, win – win.
Then again, spending all the inheritance is one of my fave variations of fuck them kids.
Fuck them kids is the Penn St motto if memory serves me correct.
We had this old school strip joint, the Wild Goose, right next to LAX.
It was good clean sleazy fun.
They had decent food too.
There was never a problem until this one certain girl, who just so happened to show up every random time I was there.
She just needed to look at me and I was broke.
Nods knowingly

Interesting vibe tonight.
I am irrationally excited for next week, things have been real lame lately.
Balls and I woke up at 3 am (live blogged it) to see The Cure’s Disintegration 30 yr anny (we old) I never thought that I would get to see them again.
I’m excited for you. They were here at the Hollywood Bowl this week and I had no idea.
Part of it is a function of how busy my life is right now that I’ve no free time and the other part is that I’ve pretty much given up on seeing any bands live. I would have loved to go to Cruel World, but the ticket prices were outrageous. I have no idea how much tickets were for The Cure.
Beside stage good ticket, am going alone because I want no one to ruin this, was 159 CAD. THEN! Robert Smith caught wind of ticketmaster extra fee, said Fuck you.
I have a credit on my Amex that says Robert Smith 10.00.
Thanks!
I read about that. Cheapest ticket in LA was 21 bucks but the fees doubled it. Ridiculous!
Bobby wasn’t having it. No ticket tout websites except in NY and Illinois due to laws. No fees for transfer with ticketmaster due to Smith.No markup
This is why I think this is it. In 2000 in Barca, it was their farewell tour.
I saw them again in Denver in 2015.
This is it. They will be tired after this.
Going by the LA set list, you’re going to love the show!
Kick ass! Hollywood Bowl!?
It’s been a tough week on the internet to learn I need readers.
All these tributes to Tina and I keep reading something else and think our racist ratio has gone down.
No, no…we’re still awful
You know what’s always fun? In law family wedding obligations.
Where’s that sarcasm font?
In law? I got BC Dick, I am good no matter the religion, ceremony, sacrificing, etc. We would find a place to drink and get high.
I don’t have to deal with it yet, phew.
/Senorita does have an older sister, but they’re not even thinking of getting married until he gets his Master’s in electrical engineering, and that’s a year away I think
I am diggin the retro look of lady number 4. She’s my pick for tonight Ayo.
I am not diggin the recollection of my snow cave nights “sleep” during my winter survival training days.
A very fine selection sir.
And yes, having to take shelter in snow sounds like a nightmare. The biggest issue being you can’t get wet while making the shelter, because you’re not going to dry off ever.
Yeah that and them telling you that a candle will warm the joint up.
SUCKER!!!!
I would try the hypothermia treatment of getting in a sleeping bag naked with the patient… But only if the patient is lady number 4.
“Let’s build a trench!”
Balls right before he busts out the lube and “goes exploring”
This time next week I will be seeing The Cure. I am very excited. That and I have an after work date with the illustrioUs Beerguyrob!
Oh, and a Monday date with The Maestro in Ottawa. I am basically the Canadian BfC now that covid is gone apparently.
You don’t know me!
You came to Calgary mate. Calgary….
(watching Ant-Man: Quantumania)
Mom: “This guy they got to do Kang is doing a very good job. With his permanent expression of rage, its almost like he’s not acting.”
Me: “Yeah, about that…”
If I had a time machine, I’d go back and kill Shakespeare before he ever had a chance to invent elbows. These things suck.
I would dress like Fred Trump and tell my son as a kid that I love him, negating this dark present. Either that or hit Freddy in the nuts with a weedwacker before he had a chance to sire his hellspawn. I don’t know. Depends on how I feel when I get to the machine and if the costume or hardware stores are open or not.
Eh, if it wasn’t Trump it woulda been someone else, like a Ronald Reagan-type. Wait.
I’m okay with Reagan, but due to him giving Trump the ideal for his slogan, I’ll probably go back in time and hit him in the head during his 2nd term so he’ll lose his marbles and the ability to enjoy his post-president years.
Holy shit, I think I might be in a Stable Time Loop. But I haven’t started the loop, yet. What are the rules again? If I don’t do it, will the timeline change or blow up?
If I could travel back in time I’d club Hinkley over the back of the head and then really impress Jodi Foster.
Fuck Ronald Reagan. Motherfucker set this country on a collision course with destiny that is now probably at best delayed rather than avoided, and he was too stupid to understand it even before the Alzheimer’s set in and destroyed what he laughingly called a brain. I hope his death was extraordinarily painful and that The Throat Goat sucked off the first responders while he was still conscious.
For tonight’s viewing pleasure, I recommend Letterkenny’s May 2-4 special. We can see it here in the States on Hulu.
Written by friend-of-the-site Trevor Risk!
Wait seriously? I always hear good things about that show but had no idea TrevoUr was involved
Yup. He’s written other episodes before.
Pretty sure he has a significant role in ‘Shoresy’ as well.
Indeed.
I did absolutely nothing today, it was glorious
#BestLyf
We can all learn from cats. Nothingness is fucking amazing.
I never watch movies. I’m gonna watch a movie
Is all quiet on the western front good? I have it on my watch list.
Do you like quiet? And the west??
So far so good.
That was a really good movie, although I didn’t like the way they changed the ending from the original. ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ was the best movie last year, imo.
Or as I call it, Yawnings in Boringshenin
/throws gauntlet
//splash, pair ruined
Oh, so it’s the Irish vs. the Puerto Ricans, is it?
Well, I’m sure this will be handled in a civil and above-board manner.
/fills empty beer bottles with gasoline
The movie does go on a deep exploration of honor and the value of life, parallelled marvelously in the finger-eating ass.
/empties Guinessess on belly
Sexy Friday appropriate?
I missed the episode where Data raped Picard? Probably pretty HAWT tho
Like “The Naked Time 2: Naked Electric Boogaloo” above, it was probably in Season 1, Hippo. There were still figuring out the characters. It was kind of weird.
I had “Killing in the name of”on in the car. Deci approved vociferoUsly. Uhh, not the message I meant to send.
I can remember the day I walked down to our basement, my three little aggressively white chill’uns were performing Bulls On Parade on Band Hero (for Wii).
When they were but wee Cornblowers my kids loved a Liz Phair song because it said ‘silky underwear,’ and being the outstanding parent I am I never told them that it was about a woman getting off on the movement of a train along the rails.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmdN-wAx3Sg
It’s actually a damn good song.
POINT OF ORDER – I would nominate Dennis and Sweet Dee Reynolds as the bestest twins in teevee history.
Such a beautiful lady. And not at all like a bird!
Stupid SLEEPY JOE supply chain issues, pharmacy hasn’t been able to order MOAR vicuprofen the last two weeks. Having to make do with vicoDIN like a goddamn Soviet proletarian.
In my mind that seems like back in the day being desperate and getting weed off Larry as there were no other options and twas full of seeds and stems.
/twbs shakes in his grave or ashes or whatever.
Larry from Regina?
He seems like he would have the good stuff
Give more tax breaks to companies and they’ll then spend monies to meet market demand at an unacceptable price point.
From experience: take the old bottles and scrape the resin off.
Each finished bottle gets the “fill halfway with water, shake to pick up all the dust and drink” – inshallah homey!
Friend just had shoulder surgery and refused to take his pain meds after like 3 days.
I’m on it.
So quiet, is everyone worried Ayo will release his Kraken in front of the class?
It’s MDW. All non-recluses are heading out or already on vacation, Other Hippo.
oh yeah, THAT bullshit. Even pre-recluse, I hated the extra hordes of humanity (plus the extra costs), just fucking go a different weekend and take a Monday off, FFS.
My work decided to make up for it by cramming the missing Monday into my Friday, I was the proverbial one-legged man in the ass-kicking contest today. Or maybe I was just the ass.
This is truth. Also, 4th of July is a great time to travel internationally
Have to feel for ThAndre, to go from being the best WR in the world, to being Qut by the Qards. Fine margins and all that, when WR fall off a cliff, they fall fucking HARD.
That and his 30MM cap hit. His PED usage will keep him viable for a little bit longer.
One presumes he thought he could get offers by signalling a willingness to re-structure his deal (since the moneys were mostly non-guaranteed anyway) but Mike Bidwill’s sexuality aside, it was too much work to try to hustle a conditional 7th round pick.
Can he go to MIN? Sounds like the Patrick Peterson career arc.
Not a bad idea at all. He has to be better in the Thielen role, he’s “old man” slow but not “old honky” slow
Wouldnt be mad if the Iggles signed him.
Seems to me they use TEs instead of an underneath possession WR. But they could always adapt.
The Cardinals are objectively the worst NFL organization to play for.
I miss your call in radio recaps.
Even after one puts Bidwill’s sexuality aside.
I think DFO’s own Spur should apply to manage Spurs. They’d be good for some memes, at least.
Amazing selection, good sir!
That’s how you start a holiday weekend!
some exceptional midriff this week, that might be turning into a tertiary obsession (after shoulders and legs, obvs)
Knees and toes
