Rap “music” is the result of throwing Hip Hop into a BlentTec blender along with a soupçon of raw sewage and a “whole buncha lotta” Premium Stupid®.
That is all. For now.
ISO. . .
Hmmm. . . ISO 1950s vintage IH pickup with Ford F-Series W6695 paint job to re-badge as a Tonka Truck. . . *heh* ??
Ooooo! Wait! Maybe Line-X has a Tonka Yellow-compatible color!
So, I Saw a T-Shirt. . .
. . .that I can’t quite get behind, IYKWIMAITTYD.
Nah. That’s WAY too friendly, and besides, feds aren’t my type. You know, human. I’m not into bestiality, ya know. (Ya can’t blame me for dehumanizing the feds, because they have done it to themselves.)
Merit Should Be the ONLY Standard
College admissions.
Self-anointed “elites” are above the law, don’t you know? After all, the Constitution only applies if they agree with it. Otherwise, it’s just dead words, you know? #gagamaggot
Yeh, 14th Amendment guarantees of equal protection under the law are apparently not recognized by “elite” universities that are nevertheless quite willing to accept federal funds to continue to thumb their collective noses at the Constitution.
There is NOTHING—absolutely NOTHING—good, ethical, virtuous, or societally healthy about “affirmative action.”
OTOH, while not necessarily unlawful, the “good old boy”/nepotistic admissions network is also repugnant. I recall the day when my mom, who was working in the high school supervisors’ offices (large district; half a million pop at the time) came home with an offer from one of the supervisors to gain me admission to an Ivy League school, complete with scholarship aid. I found it. . . distasteful that he would pull strings to get me “in.”
Glad I rejected the offer.

Every druggie who CHOOSES to shoot up, snort, whatever, this deadly substance is giving aid and comfort to America’s enemy, eh? Yeh, yeh, it’s their lives to choose to suicide, giving their all for the CCP.

Somehow, I have grown to just not GARA what people CHOOSE to stupidly put in their bodies, as long as they do not cause DIRECT harm to others (theft, physical violence, etc.). They want to be druggies? Fine. Fentanyl just speeds the inevitable process and cuts down on much of the serious social cost involved in “supporting” druggies who have chosen their route to death.
Let sanity prevail. Admit that the so-called “War on Drugs” is lost and only serves to support drug cartels and government tyranny. Sooner or later, they’ll be coming after our aspirin, no doubt. #gagamaggot
Kamalamadingdong’s Russian Influence?
*heh* I adapted a Babylon Bee “meme-y thingy” to more closely match my perceptions of Kamalamadingdong. ‘Tis a poor thing but mine own” as it were. . .
2nd Amendment Stuff
For those of y’all who are willing to spend several hundred dollars for a good suppressor and pay protection money to the criminal ATF to simply possess it, BUT, for whatever reason, do not want to modify a perfectly good firearm to accept a suppressor, this may be an option for you:
Custom Clamp-On Threaded Adapter
Maybe not so easily used on many pistols, but it looks as though it would be quite easily installed on rifles.
Experimental Petting?
I’ve used “inside the ear pets” with dogs and horses (yeh, depends on the animal to an extent) to great effect—appreciation and calming—but I’ve not had good results with cats. . . *heh*
N.B. It’s more of a massage than petting, and part of a deeper, more massage-like petting/grooming of the critter than just simple stokes like most petting action, so it does take some practice.
“Tales of When Amazon Goes Wrong. . . and Almost Makes It Right”
Soooo. . . Tales of when Amazon goes wrong. . . and almost makes it right: Product ordered. Delivery date comes. . . and goes. More than a week past initially noted delivery date, product comes. Order says battery and charger included. Nope. After some. . . time and firmly expressed displeasure, refund made. Oh, wait! Amazon doesn’t want the product back? Yeh, shipping & handling, etc., eat up too much? Maybe want to assuage dissatisfaction? Maybe, but it’s Amazon, so who knows? If that’s the goal, it doesn’t work, though, because the “refund” is just about right to just buy battery and charger from manufacturer. Meanwhile, search out order for battery (make that “batteries”) and charger, place order, wait. Wait some more. FINALLY, maybe a month after initial order, can use the product. Probably. Did refunding the purchase price (w/o the tax, BTW) actually make me whole? Not when counting my time wasted, which is never a consideration for people who just DGARA about their customers.
*arrrgghh*
Well, Good
Son&Heir’s dog’s skin condition has almost entirely cleared up, so now it’s easier to collect that wonderful skin conditioner: Lab oil. *heh*
Of course, that’s just one issue the vet says is associated with canine lymphoma, but since it’s clearing up so nicely with treatment, and lymph glands are greatly reduced/reducing in size (were swollen to a painful degree), this is probably an “indolent lymphoma” (follicular lymphoma, perhaps?) —much more slowly acting than was first thought. At least his quality of life is at his old normal level: lots of energy, appetite, and. . . attitude (Good Dog 🙂 )
Have to see how the course of the disease and treatments go, but for a 9, almost 10, year old medium sized dog, he is at least able to act younger than his age, and may well meet expectations for a healthy lifespan for his size/breed.
Let hope be not dismayed.
