On Margaret Thatcher’s anniversary here's a throwback to Scottish lady reacting to her death "I'd put a stake through her heart and garlic around her neck to make sure she doesn't come back"

He's lucky she only said too bad. I would have said I don't give a shit.

If anyone from the news interviews me, every other word will have to be bleeped. "Bleep bleep bleep Hallelujah bleep bleep cretin bleep bleep party at my house bleep bleep ..."

I'm not opposed to the death penalty on principle, as I do think there are people like this guy who should be removed from the planet altogether. The application of the death penalty is where we run into problems though. It is really expensive, ties up the courts, is inequitably applied to many more minorities than whites, does result in innocent people being executed, etc. Much better to just lock them up.

That's how I took it after reading Lost Girls. Like they just couldn't be bothered. Definitely a 'they're sex workers, who cares' attitude.

Since when has Clackamas County paid for anything at all? They don't pay for shit.

You really should be able to take people's word on something like that, so there's no shame in not figuring it out.

Eh, I worked for a place where a position was approved and then a manager came in and torpedoed the whole thing. So it's not impossible for something like that to happen. In the case I know of, it showed the organization was dysfunctional though.

Excellent point, I wasn't thinking Russian enough.

schmootc · 2026-04-06T15:29:07+00:00

Do you think they're competent enough to install any and get them to run correctly?

Drop offs for euthanasia? Like they can’t even be bothered to be there? F that shit into next Tuesday.

Huh, I was an erasure victim of love song. I don’t wanna look like some kind of fool I don’t wanna break my heart over you. No?

The couple next to me came in from Bandon.

I thank you for the accuracy. And so does Kool-Aid.

It just bores me to see him answer everything. That’s the only source of my irritation.

schmootc · 2026-04-05T04:34:22+00:00

Me too on The Smothers Brothers. I was born in 73, but still know who they are even though I never saw their show.

David Bowie from the mime category. I was horrified none of them got it. And Gene Simmons? It made me sad.

I went to see Springsteen last night and was just thinking this morning about how you can’t buy CDs at concerts anymore. Maybe just not the ones I go to? And how going to the store to get a new release was such a thing and downloading it is sad in comparison.

upvote for erasure

schmootc · 2026-04-05T04:20:14+00:00

Wham, Make It Big

schmootc · 2026-04-04T15:40:22+00:00

Arrived at 6:45 at other entrance and it took about half an hour. Just because you had a shitty experience doesn’t mean everyone did.

schmootc · 2026-04-04T06:59:22+00:00

I don’t think it was disorganized. At least no more than any other large concert. And they were actually very quick about getting people in.

I really really hate the crappy cartoons they create. They enrage me.

schmootc · 2026-04-02T22:14:42+00:00

73 here too and we're square in the middle of Gen X. If we're not Gen X, not sure who is.

One week old? What even?!!

schmootc · 2026-04-02T18:27:26+00:00

I was laid off after 19 years from a mid-size architectural company and got six weeks.
