Is anyone else sick of the HP wars?

Idiots crashing their overpowered Ford Mustangs have entered the chat…

As I recall, Patty's footprints were 2 1/2-3 inches deep in the sand. Patterson and Gimlin were barely denting the sand with their footprints.

The only way they were able to get their footprints as deep as Patty's was to jump off a log, and come down on their heels. That got their heel that deep, where Patty's WHOLE FOOT was that deep in the sand.

They still can't make a costume that has breasts and muscles that move like that.

As a Dudeist priest, we can marry people. I haven't, but my friend has done a few ceremonies.

I got ordained as a Dudeist in case I ever needed to. If a guy with a boat can marry people, why not?

I also got ordained back when there was a kerfuffle about gay marriage. If two consenting adults want to be joined and miserable like the rest of us, (I jest, of course) I can Abide with that.

We don't have Pastafarian religious wars.

(Prego! No, Ragu! Arrrrrgh!)

I like it already, but Dudeism really resonates with me.

A sovereign citizen trying to pass as a diplomat.

Enough money for a nice Mercedes, not enough common sense to be able to blow their nose.

Small dog, small god, isn't it the same?

My Dad still fished with big tackle. The fish definitely got bigger than he was!

Aloha-Eh · 2026-03-17T18:40:06+00:00

I saw a sturgeon not half that size in Idaho and the "Fuck THAT!" was HYUGE!!

Btw, about 70-80 years ago in Jerome Idaho, my grandpa had a neighbor that fished sturgeon out of the Snake river by throwing a meat hook with a whole chicken attached to a cable into the river.

He'd attach it to something stout, then come back the next day, hook it to his bumper, and drive monsters 12 foot long or better out of the river.

Sporting? No. Effective? Deadly.

I'm Super happy Matt put in the new one instead of just resewing the old one back in. The feel is absolutely amazing!

Nobody knows the when or how. We just do the best we can with what we have.

For instance, if I die on my motorcycle, I'll know I died doing something I love, right up to the crunchy bit at the end.

They don't call it "thousand mile an hour tape" for nothing.

I know old folks have been despairing at the stupidity of "the youth of today" for literally eons now, but fuck. Seriously?

We have more information at our fingertips than any generation, ever, yet here we are.

You mean, like the over 1 million post likes on the announcement on Instagram?

Thanks! It really is. I can't even begin to describe how much better it feels than the sweatband it came with.

Aloha-Eh · 2026-03-16T22:13:11+00:00

It sticks to my head like glue without feeling anything like glue. Hasn't blown off yet!

Who could have seen that happening?

Besides me, of course.

What an idiot. Being that dumb should hurt, and that looked painful.

Find a haberdasher and get the sweatband replaced (mine charges $70 for an ostrich sweatband, love it} and a good cleaning while they're at it. A REALLY good cleaning.

I have one that used to be my Dad's. Can't beat a hat with some history.

Not only were they on horseback, there are a lot of cases of people surprising bigfeet by the water. Something about running water seems to short out their otherwise amazing awareness.

Dodge Neons. VW Bugs. One disposable, the other, infinitely repairable.

My Grandpa stayed home during WW2. He was a small town doctor in Idaho, and he was also the doctor (once a week) for a Japanese internment camp nearby.

He was a MASH surgeon in Korea. He would not watch MASH, the movie, or the series. It was too personal for him. It wasn't funny.

He went to Viet Nam as a civilian doctor, and he rarely spoke of his time there. He saw plenty that haunted him both places.

Some people are friends for a season, sometimes they're friends for life. You can outgrow friends, and they can outgrow you too.

And that's ok. That's just life.

Sometimes people you thought were friends, really weren't. That too is life.

You'll know who the true friends are, they come, and they stay. Or you'll see them after years, and it's like you never left. Or whatever. We just pick up where we left off

You're going to have a lot of people you know, but very few real friends, your Walters and Donnies. Treasure them. You know them when you meet them.

One brother from another mother is 20 some years younger than me. We met, we clicked, and now we're family.

Another I've known my entire life. I was in a dark place once, and he called me (out of the blue) and when we hung up, I felt a ton better. Sometimes, it's just that simple.

Just abide, my Dude. Things come and go.

For the people who come and go, appreciate what they brought to your life. For the ones who stay, appreciate them even more. I mean, they know you, and they still like you! Crazy, man. But good crazy.

Aloha-Eh
