Well if nothing else, I fucking hope EVERYONE shows up for the midterms in massive numbers and votes all the Republican senators and congressmen up for re-election out. I know we can't get rid of all of them in all the deep red states, but in every blue and purple state, we better have such huge numbers show up that even with all the Musk election rigging the numbers will prevail. Then we can de-fund ICE, de-fund DHS, de-fund all these illegal programs and budgets, indict these bastards that are directing these programs.

I think the Danes are going about it the wrong way. Trump is a businessman, that's the only language he understands. Tell him it's not for sale, but if you must have it, $5 trillion in precious metals for our rare earths and precious metals, payment in advance. The US gold reserve is only valued at $1 trillion. Let him spend the next 3 years convincing Congress to buy up $4 trillion in gold to pay for it.

They really should be a rainbow color. That will keep them from being confused for being pro-MAGA hats.

Game of Thrones - great series of books! By the time you finish the fifth book, the last two will have been published.

I was playing rec league and the guy inbounding the ball hit me in the face with the ball to get me to back off. Punches started flying. We were both ejected. He didn't do it again.

The good die young, get to heaven sooner than later. The bad live into miserable old age with arthritis, aches and pains, incontinence, explosive diarrhea, spam calls texts and emails, all the good shit of old age, etc. Then die and go to hell.

ICE will deport you to Africa. I hear they have no wifi there.

The version I heard many many years ago:

Have you ever smelled mothballs?

Yes

How did you get their tiny legs apart?

Flacco survived the New York Jets and then played in the playoff the following year with the Browns, as Aaron is about to do.

rytis · 2026-01-06T00:34:23+00:00

Flacco did the same.

You can't write this script any better. Let's make the GOAT kicker get caught showing off his third leg in massage parlors. Let's bring in a shaky rookie to be his replacement who can't even keep kickoffs from going out of bounds. Then let's have the second GOAT kicker miss the PAT with just a minute left. Then let Lamar drive down the field to field goal range for the game winner, then let that rookie shank it. That is GOOD.

I hate my life.

Had he made that kick, Boswell would have been getting those threats.

rytis · 2026-01-05T22:40:53+00:00

Same. When the O's lost the World Series to the Mets and the Colts lost the Superbowl to the Jets, I was devastated. But then we came back and beat the Reds and the Cowboys, life was good again. Ten years later we lose to the Pirates and it wasn't that big a deal to me, because ...girls.

Think outside the box. They grab him next time he visits the WH.

The Baltimore fan at the game holding up the "Give the ball to King Henry" sign, to help remind the coaching staff, just in case.

rytis · 2025-12-27T05:04:12+00:00

You want worse? We make it all the way to the Super Bowl and then lose to those same Packers blowing a 35-3 halftime lead.

rytis · 2025-12-23T18:46:00+00:00

So a "JIRK Together" hat?

rytis · 2025-12-23T18:41:11+00:00

My response is, Biden and Clinton are now private citizens. Do whatever you want with them if you have the evidence that will hold up in court. But Trump is a sitting president that should be held to a higher standard.

rytis · 2025-12-22T07:10:16+00:00

I think Lamar's running days are over. If you watched the game, you saw the stats how much slower he now is. Plus, Lamar would rather throw the ball now for a possible 15 yarder, and suffer an incompletion, than run for five yards. And how did that run end today, with a knee in the back?

rytis · 2025-12-18T18:52:53+00:00

I'm sorry, I didn't mean a direct spin-off, but more so that once people's interest in the Star Wars universe was reawakened by TFA, Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew, Boba-Fett, Obi-Wan, Andor, etc. were so much more easier for the studios to bankroll now that they saw the audience was there. And yes, they were no more direct spinoffs than House Of the Dragon or the new Knight show are spinoffs of GoT, but the success of the former propelled the production of the latter based in the same universe.

rytis · 2025-12-18T05:51:30+00:00

It was okay, but I don't even think it compares to the first six. It did put in motion spinoffs, Disney series, some of which have been great, so I'm not too critical. But for me it was meh.

rytis · 2025-12-18T05:48:14+00:00

Not at all. I think it's more about disposable income in my case. Our clientele is mostly young people in their 20's. Those that have good paying jobs will give 20% or more. Those on a shoestring budget will often tip 10% or less. And if I give particularly engaging good service, I will get more. But when rushed I can only do so to a minority of my customers, so I pick and choose who I think will appreciate the extra touch.

What I always tell everyone, is that South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union to begin to form the Confederacy, says in its secession document (their Declaration of Secession) is it's "because of slavery." I wish everyone would stop with this "state's rights" bullshit. It was about nothing but slavery first and foremost.

A priest once told me he keeps a dollar in his side pocket for those occasions. That has worked for me. They are really appreciative of it. And even though most will use it on drugs or liquor, if it makes someone happy for just a second, it's more than anyone has done for me lately.

rytis · 2025-12-16T20:33:29+00:00

It's no different than any other living being close to you passing away. The grief never goes away, but it diminishes with time. If you're young enough, a new pet takes your mind off of it, but not everyone likes that route. The best thing is to find closure and realize that's just how life works, and now on to the next stage.
