The “Sunday is a day of rest” post (aka, open thread for stories you wish to discuss while I go food shopping, watch football, and try to clear my head of the events of the last week)
Outlaw tip of the day: if life gives you lemons, find out where life hangs out when it ain’t handing out sour citrus fruits, wait for it to get drunk on Beam and Coke, then jump it, drag it behind a dumpster, and take whatever cash or drugs it happens to have on it. Oh — and you might want to fuck up its chopper, too, just to send a message. 213 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

It was Life’s own fault. In the age of camera phones it’s just not smart to get wasted on Southern Comfort and whip-its and play a game of strip Guitar Hero. Especially not against a ringer team like Sleep and Persistent Vegetative State. All those two motherfuckers do is play video games.

Both but the scummy socialists are the worst I think. Baracky is gonna make damn sure I’m stuck in my dead end job for as long as he can. It would be crazy to sign on with someone new until he finishes climbing on top of our formally free enterprise system and doing his business.

Haps,
There’s pros and cons – now that the scummy socialists are in charge, you’ll look much better in your job compared to the deadbeats hanging around doing nothing and getting free gas. On the other hand, you’ll be paying half of your salary to maintain said deadbeats in the style to which they will be soon be accustomed. So, a wash, really.

He’s still a senator, and that’s what they do. Maybe he can get a gig with Bob Dole doing erectile disfunction treatment commercials. Every time I see him now, I’ll hear Beck’s Loser song in my head.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 1:41 pm #
I talked to some normal conservative people friends in Texas this weekend and they were cheerful and I thought you are so high. Our preening dirty socialist president with his 95% tax cut lies will kill our poor little economy and the states sure aren’t on board with giving me no tax cut. Not these inane California people what couldn’t budget a taco cart. Dirty socialists and their dirty socialist shell games suck.

feets. that’s what they’re counting on. They’re counting on us giving up. Counting on you to shut up and go away. Knuckling under and going along with the game. The last thing they want is for people like us to hang in there. Get in their faces. It ain’t over till you’ve assumed room temperature.
Fuck em if they can’t take a joke.

The Patterico thing is still chewing my nuts.
It may have started out as a not-on-the-same-wavelength deal, but since he’s not an illiterate blockhead, he’s now knowingly misrepresenting your contentions, setting up a strawman Other to disown in search of congratulation for an utterly false nobility.
Like you said. Before it was the only explanation. So good call.
And he’s doing it using Sullivan and Cole as wink-nod surrogates, so he can “argue” like it’s not you he’s really talking about. Then if you respond like he means what he obviously means, it’s because you recognize yourself in the characterization. Which was totally not about you. Totally. But if you say so! Ha!
Absolute fucking coward.
(And I know you’re out there, Allah, so hey — Try not being a bitch. Some of us remember when you weren’t. That guy was cool. But a pseudo-ironized beta is a gamma. More than ever, she’s not going to fuck you. Shake yourself.)
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:06 pm #
Everyone is always on about allah was so cool. I never knew that allah. The one I know is like how Owen Gleiberman described Daniel Radcliffe’s Hoppy Totter debut … “unremarkable in every way.”

Jeff was right I think that Mr. Patterico had his sort of on this rock I will make my stand nicey nice screed written weeks ago and that’s fine I think cause he’s sort of in the same position as Liesl’s boyfriend but all he had to say to any criticism I think was I understand how you might feel that way.

As I said in another thread long ago, the love of money ain’t got nothin’ on the love of status, for being the root of all evil.
It’s as if many of the onetime lights of the dextrosphere never knew what it was like to not have their friends in power. Without that wisdom to draw upon, they fear following the example set by the other side since 2000, and are over-correcting.
In my neck of the woods, nearly every single-vehicle fatality is the result of over-correcting.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:20 pm #
Gosh, urthshu. I give myself major points if I make my own sammich. That’s extremely ambitious, beer. I’m committed to doing persimmon cookies over thanksgiving though. That will be a major big deal.
Comment by urthshu on 11/9 @ 2:23 pm #
Nah, its surprisingly easy. Used to be your wife would make it in the kitchen and stock it to the cellar. B/c water was teh suck and you could make beer bread, stews, and etc
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:27 pm #
ok to be honest I hardly ever drink except for work. It’s on the list of things I will do more of later with video games and ripping actual books and ripping my cds.

Yes, there is persimmon beer. I’ve got the recipe somewheres in all my stuff.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:38 pm #
Clients at lunch and after work sometimes and our company is generally very boozey. The old school ones will still drink at lunch anyway and it’s wrong not to drink if they drink. This is getting off-topic. I wonder where buttons is? A four for four thinger right now would be cheering I think.

“The more meaty and flavorous the persimmons, the richer will be the beer”
Comment by urthshu on 11/9 @ 2:40 pm #
Hey, you found one. The one I had includes a kind of banana mash. Never made it, though.
I’ve done stouts, ales, wines, meads. Favorite is brown ales.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:41 pm #
That’s interesting. Dan I think a long time ago linked a story about the stuff they make in jail and from there we found stories of it going horribly wrong I remember. It might could be a handy metaphor, soon.
Comment by urthshu on 11/9 @ 2:42 pm #
I suppose the easiest thing to do would be a hard cider, now that think on it. Kill off the wild yeasts, drop in some starter, pretty much.
Comment by urthshu on 11/9 @ 2:43 pm #
“stuff they make in jail” = raisin jack. Yep, made that once.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:46 pm #
I didn’t understand the part about the touch of frost. Frost on your persimmons is good or if your persimmons get frosted then it’s all ruined? You want to say frosty persimmons are never a good thing but she was really unclear.
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 2:55 pm #
I’ve been listening a lot to the song nishi gave me. It’s happier than I am.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/9 @ 3:02 pm #
Making beer is dead simple.
I’ve mentioned this before, but if you smoke you can get an injection machine, tubes and loose tobacco from an on-line (D&R Tobacco is a good outfit). You can make cigarettes that are the same as the store-bought ones, with better tobacco, for less than $1/pack. That way you’re not funding the dirty socialists to the tune of several dollars per day.
Comment by SarahW on 11/9 @ 3:03 pm #
It’s that pucker thing, I guess. Persimmons need to ripen or they are very sharp and puckery. Supposedly frost on the persimmon is necessary for them to soften and ripen.
Comment by SarahW on 11/9 @ 3:04 pm #
loose tobacco?
Comment by SarahW on 11/9 @ 3:04 pm #
That’s a surprise of beer-making.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/9 @ 3:05 pm #
Loose tobacco = tobacco in a can or pouch, as opposed to tobacco that’s been rolled into a cigar or cigarette.
Comment by Mossberg500 on 11/9 @ 3:05 pm #
loose tobacco?
Sounds permiscuous, doesn’t it?
Comment by happyfeet on 11/9 @ 3:06 pm #
oh. Got it… I wonder if you should throw them in the freezer for a bit then? This making my own cigarettes thing is intriguing. That will be my plan B if Chantix fails me.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/9 @ 3:06 pm #
You can get way technical with beer making if you want, but the basic process is about as hard as making bread.
The most important thing, in my experience, is to use a good strain of beer yeast.

Comment by Rob Crawford on 11/9 @ 3:32 pm #
Eating a persimmon before the frost hits is like chewing on a wool sock. After the frost, they’re damned good.
*sigh*
Another thing I miss from the boyhood farm. We had a small stand of persimmon trees by the near pond. It was always a gamble to eat them, but they were worth the gamble.
We also had pear trees that ruined me for store-bought pears.
Comment by Mossberg500 on 11/9 @ 3:35 pm #
Same here, Rob. Sam’s Club has quality pears, but they’re expensive.
Comment by Rob Crawford on 11/9 @ 3:36 pm #
Here’s my contribution to the brewing arts.
Been a long time since I’ve brewed anything. Maybe it’s time to get back to it. Bottling always pissed me off — takes too long, it’s too messy, and I always worry that the seal won’t be good or I’ll get bottle bombs. Last batch I made I used mini-kegs, and that worked pretty well.
Hmmm… too late for Thanksgiving, but maybe something Christmassy…
Comment by Rob Crawford on 11/9 @ 3:40 pm #
For me, good isn’t just about flavor. If they’re not rock-hard, it’s not worth it.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 11/9 @ 3:42 pm #
I use 5 gallon stainless steel soda kegs, Rob.
You’re right, bottling is a pain in the ass.

Unbottling, on the other hand, is teh shizzle.
Comment by SarahW on 11/9 @ 3:45 pm #
No no, I’m surprised at the involvement of loose tobacco in processing of beers. What’s the tobacco do?

Comment by TmjUtah on 11/9 @ 3:58 pm #
Making beer? Cleanliness first, then ingredients. You can make Irish Amber Ale. Use the hop pellets and grain extracts where you can, unless you are bound and determined to be a stone authentic brewer. I always found that my runs were best when I kept it simple.
I made mead once, with several friends. Mead is honey based – not beer or ale – and it can ferment for a long, long time and still be spectacularly good. One inconvenient side effect is that you must raid villages on the Northern English coast when you are good and happily involved in taste testing. It is a rule. I still have my horn cup down in the basement somewhere.
Chantix worked for me, btw. Five weeks and out. Had some weird dreams at the time I was using it, but made sure to eat a good diet and stayed hydrated without too much caffeine. Got to bed at reasonable hours. Something like fifteen months smoke free has passed now. I don’t fly up the mountain side as much as I am I’m not dead after a single flight of stairs like I used to be.
I’m too stressed to be distressed.
And the thought of crocheted outlaw chaps makes me smile.

Sigh. We had untreated, totally natural and never hybridized peaches and termaters. I can’t even look at what’s in the grocery stores now.
Anyway, happyfeet, look at it this way: one of my co-irkers, all the time of Bush’s presidency, kept telling me that Bush was MY president, not hers. I am now gleefully awaiting the day when President (Elect) Obumblefuck screws up so much more obviously than merely insulting a fragile former First Lady and I can yell, “He’s YOUR president, not mine!”
And I hate, really actually kinda surprisingly hate, Richard Bennett–surprisingly because I don’t waste hate even on people I actually know. Is that wrong of me? Hating Richard Bennett, who seems to have the harnessed brainpower of a dozen confused kittens and three drunken hummingbirds, I mean.

No no, I’m surprised at the involvement of loose tobacco in processing of beers. What’s the tobacco do?
The tobacco infusion gives the beer a pungent aroma and a woody aftertaste. (I assume–I’ve never actually eaten tobacco, and I’m sadly out of beer money again.)
You outlaws are missing out on a whole marketing opportunity, there: “When they outlaw cigarettes, only outlaws will have tobacco-infused beer!”

Sorry dudes. Late to the party. Gonna throw a new wrench into the gearworks of the great brain trust that is PW.
In the second debate between Obama and Johnny Mac, Obama got off on one of his tangents about how all-around shitty George Bush is. So then he’s riffin’ on this tired idea and says “After 9/11, George Bush told America to go shopping. C’mon, what kind of leadership is that? That’s not leadership.”
So now, Obama is trying to fast track a stimulus pkg so that he can start building this economy from the ground up, because he believes that when you give people money, they’ll, oh, I don’t know, go shopping, and that builds the economy.
George Bush was telling people not to be afraid to go shopping because he would keep us safe – True.
Obama says shopping will save this country – False.
Obama is an idiot – True.

I’m getting tired of the taste of bile…
You know, I wonder if it occurs to these people that is is American greatness, and the change that happened over the last 60 years that put Obama in the White house.
Obama is the symbol of greatness, not the object.

Dollars are fungible so it doesn’t matter. Those dollars are the same as your other dollars. If you save them, they get loaned. If you invest them, someone else spends them. Burning the check just means the government spends it some other way.
If/since you pay taxes consider it a one time tax cut.
Not that I am for the stupid things. Cutting tax rates across the board is the way to go but Democrats view them like a vampire does a Cross.

You know what would be a good green job for a bunch of fat lazy losers?
Build a huge wheel like those kind on Little House on the Prairie where cattle or horses are tied to it and they walk around and it grinds flour or something.
But Obama should build one that is the size of Montana and tie all the lazy losers to a spoke and hang a Swiss Cake Roll just out of reach. If you get the gearing right, I think you could power up a big lit up Obama sign or something.

“Bye-bye, empire. Empire, bye-bye”
Heh. I was reading about the Nerpa. Could be some strategic implications, given that it was supposed to be sold to India, Jan 09.
Comment by geoffb on 11/9 @ 5:39 pm #
Spies, thanks. I know they have improved as most everyone I know who smokes in Jenny Granholm land does “roll their own” or else drives to Indiana weekly.
I quit in 1994 not because of cost but tired of the hassle of always having to have them with me everywhere and I wasn’t getting any pleasure any more. I’d smoked since I was 16 in the mid 60’s. So 30 years or so.

I have to really try quitting first but that video really sells it, spies. Stimulus checks don’t really resonate with the everyone will sacrifice mantra. It’s kind of confuzzling really. What’s the sacrificey part going to be?

Everyone is always on about allah was so cool. I never knew that allah. The one I know is like how Owen Gleiberman described Daniel Radcliffe’s Hoppy Totter debut … “unremarkable in every way.â€Â
Allah is the blogger what was really funny and partisan yet sensible and didn’t rely on a repetition of faux country grammar and lack of punctuation for comedic effect I think.

happy — This morning on Fox Sunday, Bill Kristol looked 10 years younger. He seemed amused by Obama’s election. So maybe he expects something positive we don’t. Or maybe he was just laughing at Juan Williams.

Thought you would all find this humorous (from KOS [as opposed to...]):
“But that hardly means that the war for the soul of the country is over. For a very simple and obvious indicator of the work we have to do as progressives, we need look no further than to California – where, despite an overwhelming victory for Barack Obama in which he earned sixty-one percent of the vote…”
If they had 99% it would have been better. Saddam Hussein better. Go California!

I agree lee, mostly, but with more of a suspicion that they’ve been told they want marriage and sans marriage they are second-class citizens and they are I think a lot disappointingly falling in line with that no questions asked. It’s scary how people are so easily manipulated.

I think mormons should allow gay marriage for polygamists. The justice systems would take a shit when divorce cases like started showing up. Superior Court of Utah presents the case of Johnson vs. Smith vs. Doe vs. Roe vs. Poe, and the custody of their children Sally, Billy, Bobby, and Mae Johnson-Smith-Doe-Roe-Poe. I love this country.

Comment by lee on 11/9 @ 7:58 pm #
You could be right HF, but these days it seems pretty easy to appeal to someones self interest by promising new benefits to their special identity group. The problem of everyone having their own special identity group is mostly where the problems come from, if you get my meaning. The appeal to government to address more and more personal issues.
Besides, like you alluded to, where the hell do they think they are really befitting by getting their unions “blessed”.
It is mostly about wounding Christianity I believe, and most minorities, the lefts usual allies, are mostly Christians. That’s why Prop 8 failed.

As for Patterico, haven’t read any of his new posts, but perhaps he’ll be over the sting to his honor by the new year.

oh. Mr. Patterico, he’s … you know what this reminds me of? That movie Plenty (again), where Mr. Sir John Gielgud plays this British diplomat guy during the Suez thing and he’s not at all happy with what Britain’s done and says “When the British are the cowboys, then I fear for the future of the globe” and that decorum is of increasing import as the British empire wanes.
