TGIF! Everyone enjoy their day of leaping? Well, we’re on to March now! The Madness is just around the corner.
Survival – Personal Edition
Ever make the terrible choice to have children? And then have that wonderful sensation of them getting sarcastic with you? Let’s deal with that.
- When that behaviour starts, just ignore it. By not engaging and giving them a reaction they can quickly lose interest.
- Bring attention when their behaviour is obnoxious. Make to point out the specific information that is unacceptable. Also, for fun, keep a yellow flag or card in your back pocket. Then, whip that yellow flag or card out and raise it in the air in front of that child. Explain the information above, then give them a time out in the corner.
- Remove privileges. Start small by reducing screen time and internet time. If necessary, start sending their devices and toys to a “Sass Prison”. Explain in detail why you’re doing this and the good behaviour needed to free their imprisoned stuff.
- Naturally, our natural reaction in these parts would be to sass back and enjoy it quite immensely. Unfortunately, that’s just re-enforcing their behaviour and will make things worse. Also, they’ll just come back with even better sarcasm next time.
- Now you’re probably asking, isn’t this stifling this child’s wit and humour? No! This is teaching them not to sass you and their elders. Instead, try channeling this display of humour into something more productive. Sit them done and watch movies and comedians with sarcastic wit to show them how it’s done successfully and respectfully.
- Remember that children learn from their parents, so try to curtail the sarcasm with others when your children are around. As the famous ad says, “I learned it from YOU!”
Hopefully your child is now a famous comedian and treats you all the proper respect.

Survival – Species Edition
Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!
Found a funny;
ME: hell yeah I’m into Dune 2. Dune 2 others as you’d have them Dune 2 you!
JESUS: *descends from heaven* stop that
I have to admit I was really impressed by some young people today.
We have an open position at work and after a complete no show yesterday i met a series of young applicants who were very impressive during their interviews.
We’re hiring entry level. Very entry level so you have to take it with a grain of salt but 3 of them deserve jobs. Right now.
One of these is going to be a real thing to a company and I hope my company sees that.
I found several young folks with ambition, desire, and did well in their interviews.
Hopefully I can retire and leave my spot in good hands.
Hotties, eh?
Don’t be a rectangle my bitch
You still gotta be good to take a dive. You gotta be be a winner, gotta be a favorite, for someone to pay you to lose. I would say it’s a true mark of respect. I would be honored if anyone ever asked me to throw something
Samuel L Jackson wins best ever biblical monologue
Easily one of the top 5 movie monologues of all time
You will know my name is the LORD!
Future draft?
300 comments for a Friday night thread?
That’s mighty impressive, kids!
Oh that is nawt travoltas real hair
Not obscure, but my favorite cheap beer
Never had it, want to, but only in New England
It’s basic cheap beer, but better than Budweiser etc
Also I guess that means a. New England trip is in store for you. Or I can acquire a box and send some.
Turns out Tarantinto was just another shitheel, but Pulp Fiction is still a damn good movie
He worked for Weinstein.
Love his work. All of it.
I honestly soured pretty quick. Thought he overstepped with Kill Bill
yes and also yes
Schaefer was another beer my friends enjoyed. Some of them actually like it. It was terrible.
These dudes did a cover of the Schaefer jingle. Can’t find it, but this one also enjoyable. Was true for me once. But the east coast is no longer where I drink the most.
https://youtu.be/wOmeBPVn7eU
In college the Black Dog Package Store, (RIP), would feel Schaefer for $4.99 a case.
Get a case on Saturday and clear your colon Sunday.
oof a Schaefer hangover was something special
Oh Jesus that shit gave me the worst headache.
Iron City. Vitamin I. Holy shit, the headache. As far as cheap beers go, I liked Rainier, PBR, Genny Cream, and Rolling Rock back in the day, it’s absolute garbage now. Anchor Steam was good too.
Jesus Christ, you let some pasty bog-trotter on a hot wing eating contest and what do you expect?

I’ve got to watch that.
Come on Evans, I’m here and waiting. Vic can vouch for me.
I lived on the eastern side of the Sierra for years and the takeaway from this story isn’t the snow, it’s the wind.
They didn’t have the Saffir Simpson scale or any of that shit back then. Shit was windy.
We had hurricane force winds twice a year and it was just another day when I had to walk to school.
Swear to God, man there were some days when you could open your wind breaker jacket and shit would lift you off the ground.
Mammoth and Tahoe are going to get hammered.
Wind is supposed to be widespread. Enough to disrupt air travel
Yeah, Fresno, Oakland, SFO and LAX.
Bad time to fly to Aspen.
I prefer to drive in.
It’s picking up here, but we’re used to it.
The 1960 Olympics are where stereotypes come from but it’s glorious I get it
I mean the winner of the marathon was African and barefoot
Just like the 44th president!
“44 times two is 88 ppl forget that” – Stephen Miller, polishing this cute little tie pin he got that looks like two adjacent bolts of lightning
All those hopeful and virtuous yoots. Was the future glorious or are you dead or nationalistic now?
Only8 short years until a protest against stereotypes(ish) though!
If you can describe it without using “uppity” you may be salvageable.
As far as black americans go, quite a few of them did well at the games and met very nice people from countries that didn’t have the whole segregated thing going on. At least one married a nice European track star lady. For the ones who went home, I sure as hell hope they mixed shit up because they deserved better
On the one hand, I was correct that there wasn’t much gin left in the bottle. On the other, I really should have left room for a mixer
Meh. Get the taste of the booze you paid for
I can taste the gin when I make a gin and tonic, doesn’t mean I want a cup of gin. But it worked out
I personally find gin to be the worst alcohol to drink by itself.
Does this discus dude Babka know he’s named after a tasty pastry?
Oh, this will end well.

Donner, party of 3! Donner, party of 3
This is why I’m in Chicago, at least there’s a lot of horrible booze before the cannicalism here
Also the population is marbled.
Cannibalism before Malort
Worst. Marinade. Ever.
moar like dahmer pass amirite
I always say, if you give me an ingredient I’ll figure out how to cook with it.
This may take a couple of seasons.
Bottom line, use the bottom.
Also, oregano.
This is going to require braising.
“Did you mean bruising?”
-Dahmer, J.
Pug left the basement. He is done with 90’s hip hop.
But how does he feel about decathlon?
The throwing is weak.
It’s those stubby limbs. Gotta GO HARD or something
Harrumph
Who among us?
On to 2000 UK house music.
I AM REMINISCING OK?!?!?!?
Not quite that, but The Streets in the mix?
The opening track on Original Pirate Material is one of my all-time favorite gettin’ high songs*:
*not to be confused with bein’ high, that’s a different set of tunes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj_KqLK_N0c
Don’t mug yourself is a fav of mine

Start playing The Chronic. He’ll be back.
MAJORING IN DESTINY
Oh fuck yeah India v Pakistan men’s field hockey!
“There’s some history between these two squads”
Bought a case of this magical elixir for $5.99 and brought it to Los Alamitos racetrack and drank it in the infield while gambling back when 1) Los Alamitos let people into the infield and 2) Los Alamitos said “You have beer? Sure, bring it in” which was just lovely.
Fuck and also yeah
My jealousy right now is a shade of green the Grinch would find unseemly.
This was SO LONG AGO.
Somewhere between 1989-1991 maybe.
I was alive then, Sir!!!
Oh that’s wonderful.
DFO San Pedro represents.
Happy Friday you incredible people.
And a glorious Freya’s Day to you as well!
Salut to you good man
Oh we’re back to bicyclists. ‘the pain of giving up is greater than the pain of the wound’
I love the olympics, but cycling is something I still can’t get into
Because you aren’t into pointless masochism presumably
Deary me. 30 years ago…

High dive is mesmerizing. Why is it only on tv during the Olympics?
Have you seen the Finnish version?
Of high diving? Of the Olympics? WHAT AM I MISSING??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s-LxGxmvgg
Espn 8? Nope that’s nawt real
It is, and it’s glorious.
No that can’t be right. Was there really a woman’s Olympic track trophy called the Hymen?
Today I learned about this lady. Very talented and successful even though she bore a feminized version of the name Earl
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlene_Brown
Small sample size, but water polo goalies seem pretty ineffective
They really do seem like it don’t they?
Handball too
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I met an awesome lady who lives in Calgary! Or rather is just moving there from somewhere stupidly north like Yellowknife. That’s a place yes?
Yep in NWT. Great place. Interesting airport.
Who else drank this in high school?
I remember that from a Xmas special.
That was some bad bad beer. Not “bad” like badass, “bad” like ass-tasting.
Oh hell yes. Burgie AND Olympia.
Old Style came a couple of years later when I moved to Illinois.
Olympia was a legitimately good beer.
My Grandmommie drank it by the case on a daily basis. This isn’t an exaggeration she was just awesome in that way. Drove us to the liquor store when she ran out.
Grandmommie Gladys taught me all my Creole shit.
That’s how it works.
Yes, concur.
Did you ever drink Lucky Lager with the little Concentration puzzles on the inside of the bottle cap?
Shit! Back in my cab driving days a twelve of Lucky, a can on Pringles and a bag of rice was a weekend.
I did have packets of hot sauce from the original Del Taco #1 sitting in my utility drawer for seasoning.
Hard knock life.
Nowadays that’s Mickeys, the whiteboy 40 that has the cap puzzles
Brother TAJ and I when we lived in the Quad Cities used to split a sixer way too many times and we built a pyramid from the empty 6 packs. TAJ stored them in his bedroom closet for the picture opp.
It took awhile but we did a pyramid of Mickys big mouths.
The bottom layer was 10×10 worth of 6 packs and then it tapered down to 9×9.
And so on.
How many six packs did we finally have with the last one on top?
Show your work, Dok.
You talking the grenades?
Yes I am.
Gawd yes. BACK IN THE DAY.
For me that was Haffenrefferr. 40 oz. bottles or a 6-pack of grenades with puzzles on the bottle caps that, for some reason, (it’s a real fucking mystery!), got harder to solve the more you drank.
I can’t find an image to prove this, but I could have sworn there was a light version where that had an exclamation point too, as in Burgie! Light!
Not old or obscure, but is one of my favorites when I’m in St. Martin
Classic
Delish
Nothing wrong with that on a hot day in the tropics.
The motor is for Bricks enjoyment, Michelle is for the rest of the guys.
Dames are one thing but a good engine is like a good horse or a good dog.
They both die too early?

That’s wha Babe Ruth drank!
Was still at a tavern down the block till a few years ago
I have Blatz’d. It sucks.
Was hard to find a pic because ‘american beer’ is a legit generic name. Was $1 at delilahs forever and may still be. They had a legit jingoistic can redesign in early naughts
