We will have our day in the sun again, friend.  I am confident of it.

Ready to for the Jayden Daniels 2 seasons and out era!

A lot of employers are going to be upset about this.  But whatever.  I've always felt that if an employer is going to make a candidate sign one of these...well, that says a lot about the employer.  Doesn't always bring the warm and fuzzies and trust to a new employee when wrapping up the interview process and making an offer.  

That can't be real.

The **** you mean you don't swallow toothpaste?

This was awesome.  Love to see this.

God bless PB.

Apropo of nothing

It wasn't entirely a dumb comment. You can make the case that so much of 'Muricun culture is imported in one way or another, e.g., immigrant foods, African foods, instruments, etc. brought over by the enslaved etc. The obvious counterpoint is that once it's here, everything else influences it and makes something uniquely 'Muricun. However, that dude didn't have a reply showed that all he was doing was parroting his wife. No shame in being a little whipped. Lol.

 

 

That's true, and I think that's what he meant.  

But I wasn't about to help him out  

I think Marvel has gone from pretty great to absolute dog**** but I do want to see this one.

I haven't been paying as close of attention as I normally do.  I actually find having the #2 pick exhausting, so much information and misinformation and, much like....oh, I don't know, practically almost every year for the past 40+ years, we need a quarterback.  No matter who we've had as a decisionmaker over the years, we've seldom been able to get this one right.

So here's the thinking I hope Peters has:

Do this, we'll get the right guy for the job.

(I hope we get Maye)

New Bluey. Not the 28 minute episode from last week, it’s a regular episode. 
 

But the end 🤯

This whole thing is awesome, especially the ending.

I've mentioned him on here before, but I used to work for a guy who was a friend first.  Helped him get his company off the ground in the early 2010s.  He was a doofus, but that's okay...I mean if drinking, hitting golf balls and chasing girls are your hobbies, that's fine.  There was a time there where he didn't try to hide from who he was.

Somewhere along the line, he met a girl who he ended up marrying.  It was kind of puzzling, she was an elite liberal and I don't mean that in a bad way, but that's just the best way to describe her and I really liked her, she was great.  Highly educated, wealthy family, progressive ideas on just about everything.  Into art, culture.  In a lot of ways, the opposite of him, but opposites can attract and I'm not sure what the draw was to him.  

So it was obvious when he started parroting ideas that weren't his own, and looking back on it I'm not sure if he ever had any real ideas of his own on a lot of things.  But suddenly, he was interested in going to broadway shows and visiting art galleries and everything he was interested in had to do with "culture."  If he liked someone, he would never fail to say that they were "well cultured," or "well traveled."  

One day, a bunch of us from work are at this spot in Arlington for lunch eating burgers.  It's a gorgeous spring day, and we're sitting outside.  He's prattling on about something and I didn't catch the start of the sentence but it ended with "...and when you look around and think about it, America has no culture."

It's the type of statement you'd expect to hear from a not so bright suburban teenager attempting to appear sophisticated.  That statement made its way into my earhole and rattled around in my brain for a couple seconds and I actually thought wow, he might have a poi....no, that's the dumbest ****ing thing I've ever heard.  And I wasn't alone because after that same couple seconds everyone was just like "Uh...no," and started laughing at him and explaining to him why he was wrong.  The look on his face was sheer embarrassment, I actually felt bad for him for a little bit.  The fact that we were eating one of the most quintessential American meals at the time wasn't lost on me, either.

Same doofus, similar situation, out at lunch with a group from work:  He'd obviously watched something on TV about technology and was relaying to us how technology companies have technology that's so far advanced that they can't release it to the public because it's so far over our heads.  That Apple has, like, the iPhone 25 ready to go, they just can't release it yet because it's so far advanced none of us would understand it.  

Still joke about these two instances with a buddy of mine who was present for both.  

Not online, but in actual in-person conversation. 
 

I’ll drop mine in a bit. I still joke about it with a buddy of mine years later.

Apparently so.

Wonder if he'll still be able to say WITCH HUNT

He's still alive--he could still vote lol...

Aw, did he make it?  

Unless you're trying to make the cover of a Rage Against the Machine album, lighting yourself on fire isn't a good idea.  

If it's a MAGA that did it, well, I'm not surprised.  And I also don't feel too bad about one less voter for Trump who decided to take himself out of the gene pool.

I thought that was Eddie Vedder at first. All you white people look the same to me. Anyways, I realized his song started “MAH GERRD ERR.” Easy mistake to make me thinks. 

 

Telling TTB that you confused one of his heroes with Eddie Vedder is a personal affront to him.

It's important to note that when I say I'm tired of Taylor Swift, I'm actually not tired of her.  I actually think she's pretty great.  I streamed the concert with my wife on Disney+, I enjoyed it.  And when we go on a roadtrip and I give Mrs. Spiff control of what she wants to listen to, the Lover album is usually one of her picks.

So while she's never someone I would listen to on my own, I get why she's so popular and I get why she's so famous.  She's extremely talented.

But goddamn, I've received about 15 different popups on my laptop this morning that are "news" related, the one that just came in is notifying me that she's rekindled her rivalry with Kim Kardashian.  The one that came in 10 minutes ago notified me that her new album, released at 2 am this morning, has already shattered some streaming records.  The one that came in before that notified me that, HOLY ****, ITS ACTUALLY A DOUBLE ALBUM.

So, I'm not tired of her, or her music.  I'm just tired of the coverage.  

Can't give any ****s about this.  

We're living in a simulation when a MAGA think-tank leader has the last name Vought.  You can't make that up.

Didn’t we already cover that MAGA Beer thing about a year ago?  
 

Or is there more than one of em?

I don't know, TTB.  I wasn't about to go back looking through a years worth of posts just to cater to you.
