Playing In A Different Sandbox

I got a Twitter account years ago but didn’t like it or really use it until a couple weeks ago. Now I’m addicted; it’s the most awesome trolling device yet invented. Yay for a babbly ADHD-friendly platform by which I dispense insults and absorb them. Sometimes I get blocked, though, but never until @JonahNRO in such detail or with such care. Come troll with me if ya want.

If you’re gonna troll, start with that Ken Connors guy in the previous post. I’d want to punch his face, but by the look of that honker, somebody beat me to it.

OTOH, at least that’s a legit excuse for chronic Cheetobreath…………….

 
 

The fact is, I would really like if someone pooped in my eyeball. Also, liberals are just terrible.

WTF? There being a lot Germans on the plane means a warning is needed because …why? Are we being warned to expect near-continuous snide tweets? Is it a warning that we must expect to hear his tale of soliciting a five mile high golden shower from a strapping young Teuton? He’s going to write fifty columns complaining how farty the air was?

I believe it was that great philosopher Arnold Judas Rimmer who once observed “Like German tourists, the stupid are everywhere.”

my thoughts exactly…I imagine loadpants regaling k-lo and the rest of his fellow nro-ers with his horrific yet humorous travel tales where each one ends with him throwing his hands in the air while exclaiming, ‘you guessed it…GERMANS!’ and then everyone dissolves with lafffter…

well, when i was in the airport the other day, the damn place was filled with n-words…i will never fly out of fargo again…

Pigpen libel!

 
 

so far we’ve heard, ‘screw political correctness’. after i told my mom not to call people ‘coloreds’, hes called my fifteen year old niece fat and we’ve heard much sarcasm over how much we are using our phones and iPads and whatnot and how they made it just fine without all this stuff…which is double down stupid because he brags absolute his career with computers…

The Monsanto insult was awesome. I don’t mind insults when they’re funny.

I have a twitter account but haven’t used it but once, and I’m not really sure how the whole twitter machine works. I was tweeting responses to someone and they got blocked because they hadn’t approved me or whatever, which knocked the fun right out of it. I suppose I could figure it out if I’d make the time to learn about it, but like so many of your modern gadgets, I just don’t want to bother with it. I’m just a simple caveman, your modern conveniences confuse and frighten me…

In other OT news, I’ve finally posted to my long defunct shitty little blog, a very special Easter post with extra snark for the holiday.

It would have been even better if it had been Hugo Chavez.

I didn’t even particularly like Hugo Chavez, but it would have been worth it to watch wingnut heads go all explodey.

Sadly, the thought of twitting gets me all anaphylactic-y … as does Facebook.

Some wingnuts on a football board I frequent started a “OMG Google lurves Hugo Chavez more than Jeebus” threads until a few of the sane posters pointed out their reading comprehension fail. Funny shit.

 
 

In defense of Twitter – I was surprised to find it is 110% less annoying than FB and has actually been useful on a number of occasions.

One thing that drove me off from FB was people I knew expected me to give a shit about what they posted. “Didn’t you see my FB update?!?” Fuck you, if it is important, communicate with me directly.

Also, many people are far easier to take when they are limited to 140 characters.

Also, too – Beware TV Monde and anything French in general. Those fuckers are still out to Francophonize the planet.

 
 

On the other hand, this new Gmail set up can go fuck itself in both ears.

Did they do something besides make it impossible to attach files? I ran into this on thursday when I reallyreally wanted to attach files, and was in a hurry. Gave it up in disgust. Haven’t tried anything fancy since. Perhaps I’ve been prescient in my recent “clean it out” project.

Did you click on the paperclip that is now inconveniently located at the bottom of the compose window?

I’d be really interested to hear the logic behind flipping the screen like this. Everything from other email systems to word processing puts this stuff at the top.

This would arguably be less irritating http://mashable.com/2013/04/01/gmail-blue/

For now, just go back to the non-annoying compose function:

Simply press the “Compose” button on the left side of the screen. When the new compose box pops up, click on the down-arrow icon at the bottom right of the window. Select “Temporarily switch back to old compose.”

 
 

Did you click on the paperclip that is now inconveniently located at the bottom of the compose window?

Repeatedly, to no effect.

It did cross my mind that it might work better if I were using their browser, and perhaps I will – for mail only, thereby depriving them (possibly) of knowledge of the sites I visit while I have one of their sites up in the same browser.

 
 

Oh, crap. I’ve been helping an eighty-something friend out with her new computer. She uses it primarily for email. She’s been having health issues lately, so the energy she has available for dealing with shit like this is … limited. I’ll send her your workaround, hope it helps.

Legal experts questioned the constitutionality of Brown’s move, but the California Supreme Court quickly tossed out a motion to stay the appointment. In his opinion for the majority, Associate Justice Marvin R. Baxter wrote: “Who’s a good Assembly doggie? Is it Sutter? I think it is!”

Mr. Carroll urged his many supporters – including LA Councilmember Paul Krekorian, Assemblymembers Adrin Nazarian and Marc Levine, State Senator Jack Scott, and former Assemblymember Mike Feuer – to embrace the new representative: “While I remain passionate about bringing progressive leadership to Sacramento, I recognize that this is an historic day for Canine Americans. Keep in mind that while term limits allow Assemblymember Sutter to serve 12 years in the legislature, that is only 1 ½ in dog years.”

My wife (who is a gator) is dying to buy frozen conejo (not labeled in English, mind*) and cook it … somehow. I don’t know how to cook the damned thing (despite the intimations to the contrary I so frequently make when my cat is misbehaving herself), I know my wife doesn’t know (although she thinks it will be yum-my… like that salted squid she tried to prepare and oh, so many culinary disasters…), and quite frankly I’m intimidated by the whole thing.

Re Gmail: I use “basic html” mode. All that other shit hurts my brain.

Rabbit is tasty. You can use just about any chicken recipe for it.

 
 

I grew up on rabbit. After all, us Ojibwe are known by the nickname “rabbit chokers” because we snare ’em.

Stewing the morels

Recipe?

In theory it will get warm at some point and we will have morels to fry, but stewing sounds good too. However, if it doesn’t get warm we will learn if the ground really does need to be a certain temp for a certain time before they emerge. [Chewing on the nails of crossed fingers.]

jeepers, I hope we get some this year, but we aren’t counting on it…the year before we had an abundance…last year, zilch…it seems that we usually have two off years…

We seem to be on a 5 year cycle of one crap year followed by 3 OK years and then the year we say things like “Ooof! these bags of mushrooms are sooo heavy.” That was 2011 for us as well. Last year it was just too dry at the wrong time.

Also, too: Pup, I left this for you at the end of the last thread:

Oh, fantastic ride today. Ended up having lunch in Manzanita after a superb blast down Lewis and Clark hwy/rd/thing and just prior to serious twisty carving on famous Rte. 53

Manzanita is a great spot!

Where’d ya eat? “Bread and Ocean” and their super yummeh sammiches? “Left Coast” for burritos? The pizzza joint (can’t recall the name)? I liked them all.

Did you stop and walk down to Short Sands Beach? None better beach in Oregon s’far as I’m concerned.

I stayed in Manzanita recently also — didn’t travel by motorcycle unfortunately. What made me sore was running from town up to the top of Neahkahnie Mountain and back. Absofuckinglutely beautiful mountain and trail — 8 miles of perfection — and the view! O. M. F. G.

 
 

So that’s it, huh? Sadly, No! is now appearing only on Twitter? Oh well, it was great while it lasted.

 
 

Ojibwe? Coming About! All you need is luff.

 
 

Don’t recall the name, it was right on the main drag. The ride leader picked the place. Very good grilled cod tacos with chipotle lime crema. With a Henry Weinhard root beer it was the perfect prep for Rte. 53. Which I usually run three times – turn around at the top, run back down through the tight twisties then back up – but since I was with a group I had to settle for just one run. Just as well as Hwy 202 was pretty beat up – it beat the crap out of me and I was getting tired by the time we hit 53. We stopped at Berkenfeld for some libation where I said I was going to just head back because I was getting tired. One of the riders said “I know you’re tired, _I_ passed you. :-/

 
 

And yeah, we HAD to walk down to the beach! I agree with your take on the view from up there, spectacular. Even better than the excellent view from that place above Devil’s Churn.

 
 

The good news is I’m in Boston.

The bad news is it’s only for 12 hours, of which I’ve already slept for 5.

I have just about enough time to work out, eat and go back to work.

Same around these parts. Just too dry for anything. With the Duck Lake Fire last year and a good snow pack this winter, shrooms and berries should be poppin. I imagine the area will be crawling with pickers too. We’ll see.

they hit the Sophomore Slump with their follow-up “Tiny Ice Caves.”

Philistine. You didn’t get that the musicianship got worse as the concept album progresses because the band was losing fingers to frostbite. It wasn’t just an album with songs about being trapped in an ice cave on Everest, they actually recorded the album while trapped on an ice cave on Everest. With that in mind, listen to “Cannibal Carnage” again.

 
 

Looks fun:

Infinite is a spiritual sequel to Irrational Games’ 2007 hit BioShock. In the original, studio head Ken Levine and his team examined Ayn Rand’s Objectivism philosophy in a fictional underwater meritocracy gone mad called Rapture. This time, the developers are ostensibly tackling the concept of American exceptionalism through the isolated denizens of Columbia.

“The American Exceptionalism, theocracy-based power structure has been around the edges of American culture for a long time,” Levine says. “BioShock Infinite gives it its full day in court.”

The problem is that the representatives of this philosophy, the Founders, are straw men. Racist, xenophobic, religious fanatics, they are progressive caricatures of conservatives writ large, stripped of any subtlety; nothing but ugly monsters full of naked aggression and violent bigotry. Levine claims, “We don’t try to go into these things with a particular axe to grind,” but it’s hard to accept his assertion based on what has been shown of the game to this point.

The game’s antagonist, Zachary Hale Comstock, is the leader of the Founders faction and the lazy embodiment of every Tea Party stereotype you’ve ever heard: old, white, angry, and religious to the point that the citizens of Columbia refer to him as “Father Comstock” and the “Prophet” of the city. Comstock is revered by the city’s inhabitants as the “hero” of the Battle of Wounded Knee, the last engagement of the American Indian Wars in which over 150 men, women, and children of the Lakota tribe were killed.

Breitbart.com is going to end up with egg on its face again. Not that they’ll notice, cause hey, free eggs. This is a game that gamers have been anticipating for years. The original game was set in a nightmare dystopian Galt’s Gulch. The gamers know what they are getting with this sequel and if it holds up a distorted reflection of American theocracy and exceptionalism, no one should be surprised. That’s how the game was advertised. The only people being alienated here are the ones who weren’t going to buy the game anyway.

Racist, xenophobic, religious fanatics, they are progressive caricatures of conservatives writ large, stripped of any subtlety; nothing but ugly monsters full of naked aggression and violent bigotry.

Yep, that about sums ’em up.

 
 

4% of voters say they believe “lizard people” control our societies by gaining political power

WE’VE BEEN FOUND OUT!

 
 

er, I mean, whoa. That’s just crazy talk.

 
 

Lizard people use more air-conditioning in the summer and more heat in the winter. Energy problems and power costs and global warming would all be alleviated if we slaughtered them RIGHT NOW.

Also very good suitcases would be cheap.

 
 

MONSTER!

 
Missed Opportunities
 

The problem: They joked about water quality, saying “dihydrogen monoxide” was coming out of residents’ taps. It caused small-scale panic among some radio listeners in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., metro area.

One woman wrote in saying she worked in the food-service industry and was trying to figure out how to serve customers and prepare food without requiring water.

The correct response should’ve been:

“You’re too stupid to let continue living, you are a danger to society in so many ways they can’t even be listed digitally,. You will be banished to an island of Human-Eating Monkeys. Any thing you’ve spawned will be sent with you. Thank you for identifying yourself to the public.”

Sadly, yet another Missed Opportunity

Because people like that just don’t exist so they MUST be caricatures? Doesn’t this guy watch the news? It’s not like the Texas Aryan Brotherhood stuff has been kept secret.

 
 

Can’t find the quote from … CPAC I think it was. Something like “we’re acting exactly like the extremists that the left thinks we are!” Or something like that.

 
 

The problem is that the representatives of this philosophy, the Founders, are straw men. Racist, xenophobic, religious fanatics, they are progressive caricatures of conservatives writ large, stripped of any subtlety; nothing but ugly monsters full of naked aggression and violent bigotry.

Meanwhile, if the game presented lefty straw men, he’d be lauding it as a classic.

 
 

Okay, I like the fried rabbit in garlic oil with paprika notion. All of these french chicken in a pot recipes bore my tastebuds to tears, and if I’m going to be bored, I might as make colcannon with potato flakes, less risk of food poisoning and kale is alleged to be good for you.

 
 

Karren Fiasco the Commendable Undead Scavenger

too right!

 
 

Oh hey, look, one of those new post thingies.

Let’s see if I can start getting those out semi-regularly again.

There you go! I had hoped the ghost of your better self would arise from the ashes, reborn, like a flying monkey and you would soon be back at the old stand, serving it up hot and crisp. It’s just the stuff to give the troops, in my opinion.

 
 

ACTIVIST JUDGES!

A federal judge has ruled the Food and Drug Administration must offer the so-called “morning after” pill over the counter to women of all ages regardless of age limits.

The ruling is worth a read.

 
 

” to women of all ages regardless of age limits.”

A rather cryptic bit of reporting, that.
