Evening all.
Fine evening, if you find the proper nuance to flavor your perception. No, I am not stoned when I am writing this (lies, lies, and damned lies) but I have been sitting through work Zoom meetings all day. Nuance seems to be the newly popular word for use in business and politics, and I am really, really beginning to hate it. Every time our sales weasel was trying to get out of saying something straight up, the word nuance would suddenly be in almost every sentence, and used in such a way to assuage the concerns without actually saying anything, even if the truth was the opposite. I just wanted to drop and shake my head, I will leave it to you to discern whether it was in admiration or despair via your nuanced take on this post.
I really, really hate it being used within the discussion of politics because every single fucking empty talking head makes it seem the only way to fully understand the nuances of the President’s actions. Whut? The President is as nuanced as an anvil being dropped on your head by your ex, or a coyote, or a wisecracking rabbit. Onions and Ogres may have layers, but our President and administration? Pffffftttttttt. The only nuance is the smell and if it indicates a diaper change is warranted. Not that I should say anything, I hope I live long enough to be elderly and need diapers, not anytime soon. Even I am not that lazy.
Anyway Monday Night Football starts on 9/8 for the regular, although there is a pre-season game next week. I will be watching as I really enjoyed the games yesterday, if not the best football, at least very entertaining.
Lots of MLB tonight, I have no idea about the futbol but since it is the most popular sport in the world I expect there to be a game on somewhere, but for me, the action is Wednesday, the Little League World Series 18 and 19 year olds pretending to be much younger, lots of kids for whom this will sadly be the high point in their lives (lucky brats, I am still wondering when mine will be). I loved driving through Williamsport in August watching the kids trying to cross the road to the fields, working on their reactions by dodging the traffic, and although the ratio was low, there were some very nice MILFs among the LLMs (Little League Moms) so the scenery could be good. Glad I do not have to drive that anymore.
Word count, check, still need a dick joke. I wonder if the dildos being thrown at the WNBA games are green to represent the money they think they should be making or in memory of cucumbers past?
Found a funny:
“I asked chat gpt”, “I asked grok”
I asked the tarot cards how mercury retrograde affects the US-russia strategic disagreements regarding oil prices and nuclear submarine deployments
The cameras in this Sexi Mexi contest on FS1 sure love the ref.
To be fair, she is muy caliente.
Um, just a heads-up, do NOT use Bing to search for “mitch trubisky titties” with the safesearch set to “off” – especially if you are using a work computer.
Ah, I see what you mean.
Jackson Merrill double scores 2!!!!

Ciao tutti
I’m having freshly whipped cream with blueberries for dinner, it’s a delicious albeit non-traditional dinner dish
I made a reuben quiche yesterday, so I’m rerunning that with a green salad and a glass (or two)of Conundrum red blend. I cut the quiche into 4 pieces and froze two. I’m trying to cook things I like, without wasting food, so the freezer is my best friend.
Reuben quiche sounds good! I might have to try something similar to use up some eggs. I only needed one, but had to buy a full dozen. Doesn’t anyone sell half dozens any more?
Eggs last a good while, you should be able to use them up before they hatch!
Unfortunately I have to use them while I’m in Chicago, either that or try to fly them back to California with me lol
Take them in your carry on bag. If TSA tries to stop you, throw them at the bastards!
On the way out of Hawaii, TSA said my wife could go through the metal detector with blaxito but I had to go through the scanner.
I mean, what the fuck DHS Barbie? You guys just have to separate every single family you see now?
Anyways, so I made them pat me down. They were just leading into the rush time and were obviously short staffed. So it took me a couple minutes of waiting but I also consumed their resources during my free time.
Finally — this new generation don’t know how to pat down. Guys in my age bracket, they do a reasonably good job. Old men – no. Gen Pre-China though, they do try but they know it’s wrong to touch anyone ever. But they do get a swab than I hadn’t picked up before (like the bottom of my feet) and scan that. So probably my DNA.
A stocked freezer is an efficient freezer.

I had a shit day. Who has fun movie recs to cheer me up?
Check out Donnybrook.
I recently read a very nuanced review of that film.
I was going to suggest Starship Troopers.
When viewed as satire, Starship Troopers is a masterpiece.
It’s not?
I thought that was like, Gen X ‘irony’ about comic sci-fi and was just this basically ‘Rural Country Kids In Space War’. And then the like, “He’s afraid!”
Like a [back then] high quality industry-sponsored college production (I mean the CASTING).
Oh, it’s absolutely satire. It’s by the same guy that directed Robocop. It’s basically like “what if the Nazis controlled the world and then got into a space war”? You think the BUGS are the ones who flung a meteor at Buenos Aires? Think again. That has Reichstag Fire written all over it.
I almost caveated it with “nothing selected in today’s draft”. You guys know how to troll with the best of them.
And you apparently know to anticipate the trolling, yet choose not to take any evasive action, which I think is a wise choice since it’s pretty damn funny
“Drunk Guy Flinging A Sandwich At Fascist Cops in DC” has a drunk guy flinging a sandwich at fascist cops in DC.

I watched that already. It was good but didn’t have a football to the groin.
I thought The Fall Guy was quite fun.
Lots of so bad their fun 70’s horror films on Tubi.
Vegas Vacation
Bad Guys 2.
But you should see Bad Guys first. Else you may not be able to follow the deep character development in the sequel.
In SF for Padres vs Giants!!!!
Edible taken.
Just saw a Peavy jersey!!!!
It’s Rockingggg!!!!

(it was a yellow and green sundress but I ain’t gonna tell him that)
Game is rocking in the bottom of the 8th!
Driving through Pennsylvania, from north to south and mostly on two-lane roads, I have passed at least a hundred Dollar General stores.
Ohio and Indiana must be fancy. We’ve got something called a DG-Market?
Well sure, it’s wedding gift season!
Don’t forget the adult video stores. I wonder if they will have a resurgence with the new age verification crap?
I’m pretty sure they sell meth there.
Just avoid the Clairton area.
.
Less than five miles from where the ex-wife and Lil’ and Lil’er WCS live.
Thankfully, the latter two were actually with my parents on a trip to Lake Erie over the weekend. They were 200 miles away. It’s weird that this is the second explosion in their area since Halloween…

I saw a yummy mummy while on the way to swim laps this morning. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to actually swim the laps because they had some special event going on with stupid wiener kids. I went and shot some hoops instead. It’s amazing how many buckets in a row you can hit when nobody is trying to stop you and you stand six feet away from the basket.
Now, now, that’s no way to talk about mentally disabled Dachshund puppies! I bet they’re super cute when they try to swim
I don’t know about other Dachshunds but ours is half- and she *hates* the water.
I bet she’s super cute while hating it though!
You have no idea. When she’s knows a bath is imminent she gets all submissive and terrified. The only time we’ve had her when she has genuinely cried is once when we ran out of warm water before we were done and I had to rinse her off with the hose.
I’ve got your nuance hanging…
I’m waiting for the “…right here!”
Alright, who had Cthulhu Bunnies on the 2025 Betting Board?
Yeah, I have made a point of NOT showing that to my wife.
Kill it quickly and humanely, then use the cleansing fire. For the Emperor!
RFK Jr. right now (artist’s conception):
Well, we’ll not try a frontal assault.
C’utethulhu has been unleashed
It’s like all the deer with that wasting disease. The animals are trying to tell us something, but we aren’t listening.
