TGIF! With Tuberville lifting his blockade, I hope you have all enjoyed your military promotions this week.
Survival – Personal Edition
Those of you with kids know the drill. They’re pretty stupid. As Jason Statham so eloquently stated, there’s a reason:
Well let’s cover one of those.
Survival – Personal Edition – Too Long Aside
(Hold up for a second, why the two different spellings of judgment here? I’m no English major, and I don’t suffer from OCD, but WTF) Ok, I just looked it up and it still doesn’t make sense. In the US, there’s never an “e”. In the UK, the “e” is used for legal references, but otherwise omitted. None of that applies to this. At least experience is spelled correctly twice.
Survival – Personal Edition – Resumed
Right, so about those stupid kids. The issue we’re going to cover is those idiots putting stuff up their nose. Let’s start with paper, or tissue, or toilet paper.
- Find any protruding paper from the nose. You’ll want to pinch this between your index finger and thumb, then pull gently and straight downward. If you pull too forcibly, you risk tearing the paper and then have to read the rest of these steps and do a whole bunch of other stuff. If the paper won’t move, or there were no protrusions, or you of course pulled too hard and ripped that paper off, then continue reading. Or just admit defeat and head to the local Urgent Care facility if you have good insurance and a robust savings account.
- On to the tweezers. You must sterilize them first by wiping them down with hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol or your nail polish remover. The nail polish remover is only a mild sterilizer, so use only if the other two aren’t handy.
- Now, tilt the snot nosed bastard’s head back so you can see clearly into their nostril and see the paper/tissue issue clearly. Make sure to use direct illumination to assist here. If someone else is around, have them hold that idiot’s head still.
- Insert the sterilized tweezers into that brat’s nose. You want the tips as close to the edges of the nostril as possible so that they go around the wad of paper and don’t push it further in. Make sure you get the tips at least, but ideally more, than halfway past the wad of paper.
- Once properly positioned, gently squeeze the tweezer’s tips together. Then gently pull the paper wad out. Oh, also, before this step make sure you have a clean towel, handkerchief, or tissue at hand to sop up any additional discharge that may follow the extraction process.
- Once out, discard the wad, and clean your hands. Don’t slap the dumb child either. Not only could that cause an unnecessary nose bleed, and further clean up duties, you might also get an unpleasant visit from CPS.
Congrats, you’ve successfully extracted paper from a nose. You must be proud.
BUT, you protest while I am running dangerously close to posting this late. What if there’s not paper, but something solid in there? Like a marble, or rock, or a pea that was supposed to be part of their healthy dinner? Well, this is slightly disgusting to me, but fully hilarious so I must share. Make sure your partner or friend or whoever videos this procedure so you can go viral on TikTok.
- Place your mouth over your moron child’s mouth. Know CPR? This first step is exactly the same.
- Plug the unclogged nostril of your future failure’s nose with your finger. Leave the clogged nostril untouched.
- Finally, blow a short, sharp burst of breath into your idiot progeny’s mouth. This will launch that solid object out of their nose. Make sure to highlight that object in post production of the video.
You are now a professional child nose clearer. I’m sure there’s some certificate you can claim or apply for. Congrats!

Let’s keep Lowratio awake.
It’s 1:45 am and I have soccer to watch later today and day drinking to commence. Good night you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.
I wish you the sweetest of dreams quitter.
Go Cherries!
Sleep well me Droogie!
Shit damn.
Here we are people!
Friday night is my best night.
Work’s good. Very cool shit.
Payday and everything.
Quick reader poll:
“I really want to visit —-”
Nice to see everyone.
Quebec for Winter Carnival.
Will be planning that out over the Xmas break. Couple days in Quebec, couple days in Montreal, then a couple of day in Vermont to hang out with a kid who looks a lot like me.
I ask because I’m undecided. I was thinking Paris and I’m 3 weeks in to my French lessons on my learning app but the Olympics.
And no.
Maybe 2025
Sounds perfect.
Bali, while it still exists.
Nice call.
“I really want to visit yeah right in Portugal”
A quasar.

Baby is Reno with Vitamin D!
Folks.
Took the night off to drink some beers and catch up on some TV.
Highly recommend the current season of ‘Fargo’. Batshit insane in the best way. Also finished the first season of Apple’s ‘The Afterparty.’ Not as highly recommended, but it does have some laugh out loud moments. Also James Franco gets killed, so if you have any dreams about Alison Brie finally returning all your calls that might be a show to check out.
Final note. My father and brother will be at my house tomorrow for Arsenal v. Aston Villa. My father, as you know, is a Chelsea fan. My brother is apparently a fucking Koppite. I have a refrigerator full of Treehouse and we’re Irish.
You’re all invited.
Be prepared to drink, swear at each other, throw hands, then hug it out and go find something to eat, preferably boiled beyond recognition.
I am 3 episodes in and showed episode 1 to TAJ today.
It’s been really fun.
Fargo.
The fourth episode is fucking nuts.
ZZZZZZZZ
Wake up princess. You’re not alone
Then let’s see some likes and/or replies. Princess.
Done and done. I am not your problem, much less your enemy.
Of course not! You’re my sidekick, and we’ll have such grand adventures ahead! I’ll drive.
Agreed! Only if I drive of course. Would May or June work best for you?

There is a much smaller portion of men that love Bush anymore, so this makes sense.
Me, in a still frame from a movie I shot at film school.
Washington DC, 1989.
GRIZ!
Even the bear wants to look up her skirt.
A Zippo lighter from a Canadian submarine I got when my U.S. boat visited Halifax. The base there hosted us and we all had a very good time. Alcohol was served.
I’m out of the LDB contest. Was flirting with disaster by letting Pandora play Xmas tunes while the missus decorated the tree.
A buddy of mine invited me to a WHAM! Last Christmas challenge. I just got bounced from that in a fucking duty free shop in Tokyo.
This is my favorite flashlight. It is gently used.
I was at Aviano AB for bidnezz last week and thought Brick might appreciate this. Still had the engines in it which is unusual for a display aircraft.
The boys fixin to get busy.
Sometimes a display aircraft is legally required to stay exactly as delivered (in case it is reclaimed). I learned this at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
That would explain it. They had taken the gun out however.
A Public Service Announcement for those still alive in the LDB Challenge to keep the volume down when scrolling through Social Media. On second thought, just stay off Social Media until the challenge is over. On third thought, just stay off Social Media.
Still in, not leaving leaving the house has really worked well for me.
Did Hippo celebrate the Wolven Sort JV win the Bednarik with the ever elusive #SIxthPill?
GRIZ!!!
Here’s my safe deposit box in Santa Monica, Calif.
You don’t even want to know what’s in there.
Cum spat up by Throat GOAT Nancy Reagan.
Notice that sentence didn’t end in a question mark.
Some just keep their porn behind a false wall or under a desk drawer. But my complements for going the extra mile.
I keep my porn on the coffee table. This bank box is for the [

middle of nowhere, far outside of screaming distance, tied up with a bunch of CIA interrogators asking about your safe deposit box, I’ll be very displeased.

Three hours plus on the Hundred Years War? Absolutely.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmqnCTM2j7M
Probably followed by three hours of this.
I’m riding bikes with lady number 4 tonight, in my dreams. Also thankful that the kids were never suffered , stick it in my nose curiosity.
I’ve said before, and I still maintain, that every lady looks greater with polka dots.
Glad to see you agree.
And if I ever get something stuck in a nostril, I’d like Christina here to cover my mouth with any tight fit she has on her…
I’d like to see you cover how to remove rubber hoses in a future post.

Brought the album and had the bicycle race poster on my barracks room wall.
Atta boy.
Once AI has evolved sufficiently I’m going to ask it to produce a video of this song except starring BOLTMAN.

#8: Highland Park 2004 Duncan Taylor 18yr Sherry Cask
Why isn’t ‘cask’ slang for butt?
BACK THAT CASK UP!
[holds envelope to forehead]
Name something commonly overheard during barbecue sauce delivery at the Reid household.
Right? Especially since they have a bung hole, a necessary component of a butt.
Need any TP for your bunghole?
No need, I’ve got a bidet!
I am surprised your wife has not come up with a vacuum you use as a toilet.
She doesn’t need to, that’s how you pee in space!
Decided to press on, #7: Orkney 2005 Signatory Cask Strength 18yr Sherry Butt
Balls should like this one!
That means you’re supposed to buttchug it.
That will always get a plus 1 from me!
There really should be more Sherry Butt Scotch.
You know who else pressed on?
Admiral Richard Scott.
Vaya con Dios, Zymm.

Scotch #6: Loch Lomond 18yr Single Cask Nation
I’m really enjoying these, I might resolve to drink more single malt in 2024
This one is great, very nice for a non-peaty whiskey
Edit: Actually get more peat on the second sip, still very light though and doesn’t really come across as smoky
Isn’t “peaty” just a nice way of saying “tastes like dirt?”
I usually get more leather off it, and smoke usually predominates over dirt, but yeah, sometimes dirt. Very tasty dirt.
I thought it meant passing at the 1 yard line instead of running it during the last seconds of a Super Bowl when Marshawn Lynch is your running back.
Or jet fuel not melting steel beams.
he’s just asking questions, Ayo funny how u got a problem with that smh
Not doing the former would be known as re-peaty.
Once again…leadoff just so so good.
Deffo a Tempe-based stripper. I’d tip her a $20 just for noticing me, mind.
Leadoff is insane. Those can’t be real.
Ok now I have to go look
If the tits are fake it’s a damn good job. Proportions are weird though, I’m gonna go with the photo being manipulated
Gotta be faked. Those arms scream, “Give that girl a burger!” Yet the tits say, “no need to buy milk for weeks”
https://www.instagram.com/veronikarajek/
It’s on insta, ergo it’s gone through a million filters, QED
I don’t like those arms. She needs a double double. STAT!
As Dok rightly asserts, I don’t believe any of her dimensions are accurate.
THIS MODEL I CALL HER THE HOUSE OF LEAVES* BECAUSE HER MEASURED DIMENSIONS ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH PHYSICAL REALITY.

“Yeah, that’s gonna be a ‘no’ from me, dawg.” – DeSean Jackson
In retrospect, watching Alice in Borderland while incredibly stoned, was not my best idea of the week.
These characters don’t look real to me, Monty, more like Final Fantasy The Spirit Within characters.
I absolutely loved that show; I don’t know if I’ve been more satisfied by the ending of a show in the last ten years (Breaking Bad, maybe. But it’s close). It really sticks the landing, in my opinion.
