TGIF! Hope everyone enjoyed the last serious work week of the year. And I doubly hope everyone enjoys this upcoming weekend.
Survival – Personal Edition
Today’s totally relevant situation involves the desert! Let’s say you were smart enough to bring a bunch of beverages with you, but not so much that you brought a cooler or ice. Well, no need to let those tasty beverages go to waste in the heat. Let’s keep them cold!
- Dig a hole. At minimum you’ll want this hole deep enough that the tops of the beverages are 1.5 to 2 feet below the surface. Ideally, you’ll want to go down 4 to 5 feet. At just 2 feet, the ground is around 30ºF cooler than the surface. At 5 feet, the ground will be around 50ºF to 55ºF.
- Wrap the beverages in cloth. This will provide some insulation. A blanket, tarp, or extra clothing will work here.
- Find two flat boards. They should be about a foot wider and longer than the beverages and should fit into that hole you dug. These will provide some air around the beverages for an extra layer of cooling insulation.
- Use rope or duct tape to secure the beverages between the boards.
- Lastly, tie a rope around the boards. This rope should be at least 4 feet longer than the hole is deep. Tie one end around the boards, and attach a flag or colorful piece of cloth to the other end.
- Lower the beverages in to the hole and cover with dirt. Make sure that flag end of the rope stays out of the hole.
- Find a stick and place it in the ground. Tie the end of the rope with the flag to the top of the stick so that you can find your beverage hole later. Make note of any other nearby landmarks to assist as well.
- Finally, we’re talking about the desert here, so all of this work should be done ideally at night. If you need light, then do this work early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the temperature is moderately lower and there are longer shadows to utilize for shade.
Now your deverages are secured and you can traipse about the desert without lugging them around.

Survival – Species Edition
Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!
You know what is sexy? Tay Tay and Travis. Just an adorable couple of crazy kids.
Iran is still kicking it dystopian style. Cracked down on happy dancing, now it’s viral and they backed down.

If we doing song posting, Rock Steady
This goes in there somewhere.

I must be in the minority because I totally enjoy playing with my nipples and having them played with.
If I was a girl with boobs, I’d never leave the house.

They’re great and I love having them, but you tuck ’em in a bra and get on with your day. They do have to be adjusted sometimes, but otherwise they do their own thing and are there for me when I have the leisure to properly enjoy em
Same same
Nembutal numbs it all,
but I prefer,
alcohol.

In Spanish Bombs, friend of mine thought it was ‘oh my god a thong’ instead of ‘oh mi corazon’ and now I find a song about the Spanish civil war hilarious
Looking through the photos I am reasonably confident that last lady is an alien. Even so, she (or xe or whatever aliens use) would probably appreciate a quality waffle knit towel over that mediocre at best terry job
Baltimore story: There used to be a kickass live music bar in Ballsitchmore called the Sidebar. I went to a shitton of shows there and they had both reasonably priced drinks and ins and outs so alley drinking. There was this kid, Ken, I guess he was in his mid twenties at the time and older than me but still going with kid cuz we were all kids. But he drank 3 40s and was in the pit and fell backwards and cracked his head on the brick wall loud enough that the band stopped playing and asked if he was okay. He was apparently fine, but I think he singlehandedly justified me watching football for the rest of my life because people are always gonna do dumb stuff and get concussions
Damnit where was this last summer for DFO east
They had already closed by then. Apparently the owners of a punk rock bar that let people drink their own shit in the parking lot were nawt great at finances and had been on the edge of foreclosure for years even before the pandemic
So many great stories and injuries there though! It will live for at least my lifespan in my heart and memories but mostly memories because I’m pretty sure I can’t fit a bar into any of my ventricles
Not with that attitude you can’t.
“we thought she was having a heart attack, but turns out it was just the motel in her heart running a promotion on Expedia”
Did you get some plastic surgery? Your face looks way more windowy than I remember. Good job if so! Powerful window!
It’s Friday night, and a young man’s thoughts turn to the Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp Major.
I saw the thread turning towards men’s nipples so I felt I should step up and offer an alternative: the piston engine with the biggest tits in the world.
Also, there’s a theme to the above photos! Whoever guesses wins a substantial prize.
Eh, still seems like it’s about men’s nipples
There’s a great radio station out of Oakland which is classic hip hop. Classic basically means the people who listen to it are old enough to have kids, I remember listening to classic rock that my parents had on. The thing is, a lot of classic hip hop is very sexually explicit. Damn good groove, but can’t imagine how weird it must be for a tween or whoever to grow up sitting in the back of the car while their parents rock out to Candy Shop
Don’t mind me, I’m gonna go ahead and turn to dust here.
I’m curious, how do y’all who are dudes feel about your nipples? I normally wouldn’t ask but I’m pretty drunk and inhibitions have been commensurately lowered. I legit think having boobs is even more fun than what y’all get from looking at and occasionally playing with consenting boobs, so I’m hoping youse enjoy your nipples
Also mad props to my phone with an actual keyboard that allows me to spell while completely incapacitated to operate light machinery except for maybe a power washer or dremel tool
I don’t usually engage them.
But you know there may be moments.
Honestly, they’re a nuisance.
If you do a morning walk early morning and it’s a brisk walk well this is a bit uncomfortable but they can get chafed and will sometimes even…
Bleed?
Men nipples are unnecessary.
For the most part.
How’s the saying go? Why do men have nipples? Just in case.
Moisturize! I think even for guys it’s more sensitive skin and def temp sensitive. So lotion and maybe an undershirt would be helpful as well
Same way I feel about my appendix, bellybutton, and toenails: all pretty gross, but there and out of sight.
Okay, I get nawt being able to see your appendix, but all the rest should be easily visible with a brief look down?
Depends on how often one exercises
Ah shit, I said y’all and youse but nawt yinz. I apologize to Pittsburgh in general, although I actually do use ‘slippy’ a lot. It’s a good word.
Nawt THE good word though, although a gospel based on surfaces with a low coefficient of friction could be pretty fun
Slippy is perfectly cromulent.
They’re just kinda there. Don’t give em a second thought really.
Can’t say I care for them.
Overly sensitive, hairy, and the left one is weirdly inverted for some reason.
A trait, that according to my mother, I inherented from my father
Both the left? If it’s just a random inverted nipple then you should make odds for your buddies on which nipple it’ll be before the birth of any kids you have.
Some science: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16681470/
tl;dr 80% of the ladies like them played with during sexy time, but less than half of the men do. Count me in the > 50% group; might as well caress my elbow.
Interesting! I’ve always been a bit hesitant, but have basically given them a miss due to lack of response, guess that’s quite representative!
Mine are sensitive erogenous zones.
Good!
I LOVE my nipples
Also good!
Let’s not forget:

Thanks Mr Ayo, making your first lady happy with a cool drink is the only way I’d go to those complicated steps. Remarkable effort Sir. Speaking of hot ladies…
You’re awesome 2Pack. Thanks for the constant encouragement.
Ice Cube’s good day sounds pretty good, I kinda wish the Goodyear blimp would call me a pimp
https://rockthebells.com/articles/rtb-rewind-ice-cube-good-day/
I thought it was confirmed as not referring to a specific day, but I also really like the idea that he actually did just have a really nice day one time
We all deserve that one good day.
Merry Christmas y’all
JFC. Should have let you substitute today.
Holy fuck. That first picture alone…
I’ve legit used it three years in a row
Don’t fix what’s not broken.
Who would have thought that “that holiday that people spend a month celebrating” would be a common topic for scantily clad women
And I personally, am thankful for that.
Would you believe I’m actually running out of pictures? Ever since reddit changed their apps, sorting stuff quickly is surprisingly difficult
Huh. I only have like 50 more weeks of content myself.
Holy Holiday feast Brockman!
Alright, I’m a tad late, I’m just posting a separate comment so we can all shame ayo about taking so long to approve the links
Your welcome
His opinion on golf is unimportant.
Smithereens is a relatively new word in the 200 year range which seems to be of Irish origin.
Context: reading a book set after the 2002 Bali bombings. The majority of the 202 people killed were actually Australian, although Indonesians were the second largest nationality.

Man, I loved that band. Then the lead singer passed suddenly.
Mother-in-law’s arrival is imminent tonight, followed by five more members of my wife’s family tomorrow. Pray for Rikki – I’ll see you all on the other side.
You’ll be fine, I mostly feel bad for the Dr Mrs since I know they’re going to berate her for not vacuuming enough
Just read Joy Luck Club and you’ll be fine.
(yeah that’s on purpose)
Thoughts and prayers Buddy

About to be caught up with #22. A 22 y.o. Speyside Black Friday release
I’m way behind thanks to being sick. #15 is my next one and I’m leaving town tomorrow. So I’ll be finishing next year.
You were so consistent to start out, I’m kinda glad you fell off (though nawt glad you are sick, feel better soon!) because it makes me feel less bad about how inconsistent I’ve been with my booze calendar. Doing a few days at a time has been nice though, I can compare a bit more than I could otherwise.
I’m all better already. Going to enjoy spamming everyone with GIN and Kraken content starting next week again.
Looking forward to the botanical and tentacular content! I would totally have martinis (fuck vodka martinis) and watch hockey with Cthulu, especially if the alternative was having my sanity devoured
Not such thing as a vodka martini. I love my vodka, but a martini is gin only.
You are my favorite and feel free to tell the others

The first rule of scotch club is that you share booze but not the really good stuff.

I should watch this episode while stoned some time, oh wait……
You’ve already watched it twice today and once yesterday.
Like I want to remember the last 20 years?
Or the news today?

I say “I have no idea what’s going on” all the time and NOONE ever seems to get it
I prefer the William Shatner version.
Hey hey, it’s Underboob Day!
Hey, can we replace Easter Sunday with Underboob Day?
The South shall RISE AGAIN so it all works out!
Looks like a Jura and an Invergordon for 20 and 21! I just discovered there are tasting videos on the Scotch Club facebook page.
I’ve discovered I really like scotches with a rum finish, they smell great and add a touch of sweetness that goes well with all the gnarly scotch flavors!
Next up it’s back to a more traditiobal sherry finish with:
#19. Glentauchers 2008 Duncan Taylor 14yr Sherry Cask
Better than a Scotch(naut) with a rub finish, I tell you that
Houston, we have a problem.
There’s….something on the wing?
That probe on the front is going to hurt like hell going in.
Additional info
Also, that’s really cute about the last work week of the year. I just got handed an emergency, so I’ll be working through the holidays.
Good times!
BOOOO!!!
Chic agrees!

Bummer
Good God Ayo! That first picture and that sandy gif!
You’ve clearly earned your Christmas bonus!
This is also a good guide for beverage treasure hunting in the desert, who knows what tasty drinks one will find when digging up the various caches that no doubt dot the desert!
For tonight though, I’ve got to catch up on my scotch drinking
#18. Cu Bocan (Tomatin) 2010 12 yr Batch 1 rum cask
I love it. That was also something I thought about. As a plus you could leave a grade for the job they did. And a separate grade on the beverages themselves.
