TGIF! We’ve got a rocking dirt ball game starting, so let’s get to it!
Survival – Personal Edition
Not a cat person? Well here’s one way to make them a more palatable option in your abode: toilet training! Let’s get that kitty using the toilet and get rid of that smelly mess of a litter box.
- Move the litter box next to the toilet. If you have the option, do this with a seldom used toilet to make your life easier.
- Once kitty is adjusted and comfortable with the next litter box position, start periodically raising the litter box using books or stands. After raising the litter box, leave it at that level until kitty is again adjusted and comfortable with the new position. Repeat until the litter box is level with the toilet seat.
- The next step is to move the litter box to on top of the toilet seat. Again, leave it there until kitty is adjusted and comfortable. This is also why I suggested a seldom used toilet for this exercise, as you’ll have to remove and replace the litter box each time you want to use the toilet.
- Now for the switch-a-roo. Remove the litter box, and replace it with a metal mixing bowl that fits securely in the toilet bowl and under the toilet seat. Fill that mixing bowl with some cat litter.
- For the first few uses, keep a sharp on your kitty and help them position their paws when using the toilet: Two paws at the front of the seat, and two at the rear of the seat so that kitty is squatting.
- Continue until kitty adjusts and can use the toilet comfortably and without your assistance. Then replace the cat litter with just water. Be there when kitty finishes and empty the mixing bowl into the toilet and flush while kitty watches.
- And finally the last step: Remove the mixing bowl and let kitty go straight into the toilet bowl.
That’s pretty easy, it just requires a lot of patience because cats are notoriously difficult to train aside from feeding times.

Survival – Species Edition
Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!
If yinz are also feeling down on yinzself about a mistake, a brainfart if you will, that put a damper on an otherwise good day, just know you are not the Yinzer who drunkenly drove his truck into a utility pole and cause a blackout in for the neighborhood. Also, our SMRT friend was driving on a suspended license for…? DUI.
I didn’t take any calls related to this, just watching the reports come in because I’m nebby* and it’s entertaining.
*gumbygirl, Boganski, and Downfield Matriculator know
Still up, eh?
It’s 8:30 a.m. here in Barcelona. Thanks for the morning sexiness!
My pleasure. Though i think Brathelona has far more sexiness to share.
You’re in Spain?!
Oh, right, the music behind this if you got a half an hour.

Now I found a place that pours a proper pint.
I dated this acidic bitch back in the 80’s..
Finally, hello peoples!
Happy fucking Friday and no, I do not have a 3 day weekend.
World thrives on us working class motherfuckers.
Utah’s quarterback Cam Rising’s 77-year-old age is starting to show.
Is a basic bitch better than an acidic bitch?
My ex-wifey could be labeled as “acidic bitch” at times…
By far!
Of course
Slow

Kiss them apexes!
That’s the goal!
Wait, there’s another “International Break?”
It feels like half of the weekends since the EPL started their season are them not playing.
They’re what the NFL is trying to be. They can stretch this shit out over close to a calendar year.
More if there’s a world cup of an Olympics.
Arrived safely. Wine in hand.
Travel safe me droog.
When she’s done in there, I hope that last gal squeegees her butt prints off the shower door.
That’s art, sir. I’m hanging that door on my wall.
I’ll help.
The doors of buttception have been cleansed
Of course, she’s a proper lady
If yinz don’t want to feel quite so old, Beavis and Butthead would have been Highland High School class of 1995, provided they actually graduated.
I don’t usually look at the pics much, but I gotta say that it’s true that us ladies 100% enjoy our tea exactly like Miss 2. Can be awkward for work meetings tho
Wow, I’ve been going to the wrong work meetings for a long time then.
Seriously.
Oh,motherfucker! #6 is CGI
Just trying to keep you on your toes.
/Old man yells at cloud
Damn, she was the one I had a chance with!
CGI?
Craves Genital Interplay? Cool.
Damn it.
Lady number 6 this week Mr Ayo, thank you for the solid effort here. She needs her back washed, and I’m here to help.
That’s the front!?!? Goodness.
Crazy scapulas if it was the back
Are we live? Fuck!
Don’t worry we got a fake tape delay of 2.7 seconds
Oh! Twist on Hippo’s brilliant JV idea! Anytime and underdog of 10+ points they can rename the stadium or sell the rights for NIL monies

I had to take a vicarious trauma class and I stupidly paid attention instead of just flying through it in a perfunctory manner. So instead of taking five minutes it took a couple of hours because it made me think about my own bullshit, which was the topic of my two non-work interactions with humans this week, and so that’s my day.
Curious what a vicarious trauma class is? Don’t know what your circumstances are, but if it capured your interest then maybe not a horrible use of the time?
It was basically a glorified slide show of things like compassion fatigue and burnout. My agency, and I imagine other agencies in the state, are on a big well-being kick because morale is low at the agency. I just happen to be in a position where I don’t speak to the public on the phone every day because I’m temporarily assigned to this project. But I will return there. It’s hard to explain, or maybe I just don’t want to. It is funny that all of these trauma responses, in this instance, responses to indirect trauma, are all things that I deal with all the time. I can’t remember how active I was around here at the time, but I weathered the pandemic pretty well (except that I gained a bunch of weight) and never got Covid. But as it was winding down I started feeling shitty. And I know there’s something to that because I also felt a sense of meaning I don’t have any more and didn’t before I started this job. It’s all just really like I’m trying to tell myself something and the world is, too. But I don’t listen too well.
It wasn’t a waste of time. It just wasn’t how I planned to spend my Friday/first day back after missing two days due to sinus infection awfulness.
What does “compassion” mean?
That sounds heavy on the soul (and on the body if I wanted to make a fat joke which I kinda do despite having wildly fluctuating weight myself). I wish you the dual, possibly contradictory, outcomes of getting whatever you need out of that but also having a good weekend
Make the fat joke.
I just looked at a bottle of fancy rum and thought, “oooh, 2007, that’s quite old!” then realized I graduated from college in 2003 and felt even older
I saw a “You must be born after this date in 2003” sign at bar last weekend and wanted to die.
I remember when it rolled over to ‘oh you’re birthdate starts with a 1, you’re good’
I haven’t actually gone out to places that card in the past few years, and I know the millenium is an artificial landmark, but still
Youngest GTD will be able to legally drink here in a few months. Born in 2005, as drinking age here is 19.how the hell am I old enough to have a kid that old?
You aren’t, that’s not how time works. You’re still the same age as you were and the kid somehow aged faster than time. It’s true.
Time is a flat circle
She is a doktorb.
Wait till they hit 30, totally different kinda sucker punch.
I still think of my parents as in their 40s, even though I’m over 40 now. It doesn’t make rational sense but there’s no dissonance there
Youngin, class of 1996
(sigh) ’91
You’re a kid.
’88
Wait, college? 92
Yeah, youngster.
Class of 1984 (high school)
I was class of 99, just missed the cutoff date. However, if I’d stuck around to actually graduate I would have made it to this century.
I had a shot in the arm this week. Met an old acquaintance who is now a 4 star general at an event. He told me I look younger every time he sees me. Being the smart ass I am I responded, are you trying to pick me up? The multitude of other cheese eating colonels and high ranking civilians around stare all stunned as he laughed and we chatted. I’m fully at the ain’t care age in life.
Just another instance of the U.S. Woke Force
Don’t get me started…
You’re just a pup!
/Class of ‘02
1902?!?
Then there’s this
I went to go pick up dinner. It is a 20 minute round trip. In the course of that time here is what I complained about, out loud, to myself:
Jesus Christ. I’m my father.
The price of crappy ginger ale IS outrageous
We insulting The Hat now?
They aren’t going to export their good stuff
I called the customer service thing when Covid hit, everyone’s service went to crap, the prices all went up, and the only effort to improve was a letter saying, “everyone is busy. Thanks for accepting the new ‘value’.”
It’s gone. Don’t complain. Adapt. Like your father world.
Lmao ⚾️
Well, Padres, there’s always game 6…wait, I’m getting something from the control room…
Found a funny:
Cool desire, bro. It would be a shame if it was the root of all suffering
What is Donald Trump telling his friends and family he’s running for president?
I’ll take Animal Genitalia Audio Clues for $500, Ghost Alex.
Hopefully this commercial goes viral!
That would be Rocking!

I’m more of a man than any of those elite Hollywood actors.
Any time you can get cat training tips from one of the most influential bassists of the 20th century you gotta do it https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Charles_Mingus_CAT_Alog_for_Toilet_T.html?id=AVKbzgEACAAJ&source=kp_book_description
He was too good for Archer
There’s sommet just inherently uplifting about seeing someone enjoy needle/spoony time while wearing a tie.
It’s professional.
.
Maybe comfortable, but doesn’t actually feel better
Buffalo Springton would be a great name for a Spinal Tap tribute band.
THERE WILL BE NO ENCORE
For reasons, I’ve cropped the picture. No nudity but it’s obvious what they are doing.
If Mods give the okay, I’ll post the whole thing.
Okay
Do it!
I’m not a mod, but I approve.
Once again, I succumb to peer pressure.
I have my doubts
Eh, it’s good but not the best

I KNEW IT
Kinda rough on the hips.
I love 4 but I think my week was more of a 6
Depending on my level of gastrointestinal discomfort, I’mma 2 or 7

Which one is the Elmer’s factory? That’s how Qaron’s week has been.
I’m 8. I’m giving all the side-eye. People are idiots, I’m sick of it. Gonna pet my cat, (not a euphemism) maybe take a bath. You guys are awesome, I’m not sick of yinz, just mad at the world. See ya later, be good!
All the hugs
New GRATE idea! What if a rival college sponsoUred a school’s JV NFL stadium?
Roll Tide at the Vandydome!
“Michigan Stadium, sponsored by THE Ohio State”
“Welcome to UCLA football at The Trojans Rule Rose Bowl”
“Gametime for Army at beautiful West Point…we’re coming to you live from Go Navy Beat Army Which Is Full Of Pedos Field”
Darrell K Royle Texas Memorial Stadium brought to you by Horns Down!
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp football team, sponsored by Mossad.
Fuck if I’ll let Putin buy out Kiev Dinamo
Now THAT would be a spicy meatball World Cup final!
Proposed Suggestion: The Rival School chooses the name.
Jerry Sandusky Memorial Stadium
Notre Dame Stadium: Where Altar Boys are Turned Into Men
Michigan Stadium (Ohio Branch)
Do you all see an increase in dogs replacing children and these dog people who let their shitty pets get fur and shit and slobber all over places that used to only be acceptable for people to shit and shed and slobber on? It’s basically Children of Men out there, and it fucking sucks.
Yes, I see the pets replacing kids thing. I don’t get it.
I have neither.
The ones who are shitty dog parents would most likely be shitty human parents as well and the dogs don’t live as long and can’t cause as much harm. Seems like a win to me
Sometimes they’re both!
Unfortunate
Never mind. I don’t want to drag everyone down. We all know what we’re really here for:
Ok. Fine.
[lifts up t-shirt, exposes nipples]
Why do you have a third one Scotch-taped between the other two?
Fine, I’ll get the sharpie
Last picture for me this week.
I prefer 6.
#Leadoff para el Hippo
Fun earworm! Replace “soul” with “hole” (aka The Nightman Cometh), and this is a funny anti-anal song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4go_DzY8wHc
Also! This is the song they led off with when I saw them a couple years ago. And it’s a great stadium song.
I bet they’s quite good live.
Yeah, worth leaving the house for, and not much is.

Seems relevant to a discussion about personal survivors. Don’t draw straws against a smart dog.
Gary acknowledged he drew the dog without arms
Legs? Top legs? Front legs?
We may have read the same thing, because I remember him saying his favorite part of this cartoon was the look on the dog’s face; serious, but confident. Like he’s not celebrating, but he’s ready to make sure the rules are followed.
Yes, it was a large format book of his comics that he annotated I think
I Gotta read the rest of his collection
Not the only use for an artificial tongue, but a useful one for sure!
Pretty sure I’ve seen that before in a video with a castle at the beginning
Northwestern/Maryland, reminding us it’s still 2+ hours until Secular Big Love v. Sparky.
Were I in Vegas, I’d love Sparky plus not-quite-a-touchdown.
(Utah will obviously roll)
Can someone that follows the basedballs answer this question:
How gritty is Ohtani?
He’s like a minus 10 on the gritty scale. Way too much talent. And not white.
I assume White counts for at least 99% of grit.
That might be a tad low.
He’s more…. clever than gritty. Crafty even.
I want to post a Cum Town clip, but I won’t.
Kitties are both awesome and fuzzy. Even the dumb ones can learn, I cat sat for an adorable idiot for a year and she learned to drink from a dripping tap. Best kitty ever, she liked upsidedown hugs
