“What are they infected with?”

“RAGE!”

LOL, on a long enough timeline, there is no never. Heard Motley Crue Kick Start My Heart at Harbor Freight yesterday.

Bombing the snot out of civilians was sorta de rigueur in WWII. If you want to get on your high horse, the Tokyo fire bombings were far, far worse. That sort of thing doesn’t go well for people in bamboo and paper houses.

And then you had the Imperial Army, who was so over the top even Nazis were like, “Maybe tone it down a bit?” So maybe chill on American “war crimes”, unless you have the stomach to read about Japan’s actions.

Funny thing about bombing civilians in the European Theatre, it was all a bit of a mistake. A German mission was a tad lost and bombed London. So Churchill said, “Oh yeah? Well fuck you too!”

That last bullet was my first laugh of the day.

AHHH!

Damn. I really want one, but I already have a Colt .45 and the weight is the same. Is it this one?

Speaking of hogs, I’m outside all the time in NW Florida and have never seen one or evidence of them. OK, two came to my house, apparently lost, but I’ve never seen them in the wild. Horror of mine as a sounder would level my camp in the boonies. Where they at?!

Mine’s white!

Thought about this today! I was sitting by a rainy creek and a couple of turkeys landed nearby. “That’s a turkey! They’re tiny!”

(Don’t think we have the big honkers the Yankees have. They’re small and drab down here, at least I’ve never seen a big, colorful one.)

I have a .45 Hi-Point carbine. Flawless operation, had never malfunctioned, weighs 10-pounds, impossible to clean. Along with other… odd design choices.

Hi-Points are what you get by giving a group a very smart engineers a list of things the product needs to do. A group of engineers that has never seen an actual gun.

I often see that in political arguments. There’s much to be said about wasting political capital on a poor and partial solution, but as you said, people bitch even if there’s no real downside.

That is some Granny Weatherwax right there!

They said the same about robots in the 80s, particularly automotive industry robots. They were going to turn society on it’s ear and it was a non-stop news item for some time.

Normal, if stiff, human range of motion. Until it rotates completely around the waist!

Clinton lost because Jamey Comey (Director FBI) publicly reopened her email investigation 3-weeks before election day. It was a huge deal that everyone seems to have forgotten. The polls were right up until then.

I have a theory. OK, some people simply can’t drive, we all know it. But I noticed when I visited Nashville and drove a rental car, suddenly my ability to use turn signals went gone. And I’m religious about it, signalling is a reflex, don’t think about it.

Around my little town, where no one is a visitor, everyone uses their signals. OTOH, go to the nearest city and visit downtown, especially on an event day like a graduation, people are goddamned maniacs! No signals, driving the wrong way on one-way streets, speeding, creeping, all that.

Next time you catch someone not signalling, have a look at their plate. Out of state? Hell, some states like Mississippi will even tell if they’re out of county. See what you see. Note: Plates may not mean much if you’re in a city that pulls unfamiliar drivers. Bet my theory’s solid near airports!

My little idea holds up on country highways. Everyone knows exactly where they are and where they’re going, be shocked to see a single missed signal. Worst you see is some hesitant on/off signaling if they’re unsure of the upcoming turn. (Hey, it all looks the same from the highway.)

tl;dr: Drivers unfamiliar with the area are mostly the problem.

Not going to even read this horseshit. Which countries? Brazil or Vatican City?

Fuck these headlines. If they have valid points to make, I’ll never see them. Grow the fuck up and be journalists or I don’t have time.

If you think this comic is true…

In the Windows 3.1 days I made my own icons. Yes, a single pixel out of place or wrongly colored would throw it all off.

Or invent the internet.
