Achilles said...: I was in a hurry cooking food. Not paying enough attention. Dropped the hamburger from a little bit too high. It splashed in the boiling lard that was cooking the onions. There was more oil in there than usual. Girls cooked jowls today. It was a hot sunny day today, no shirt mowing the lawn and such.

I have blisters forming from chin to belly button right now. I smell like burn cream.

Not much to do at this point. That was dumb. At least I was wearing shorts.

The sunrise up there is pretty. It was raining on my morning run today.; 5/30/26, 5:38 PM
Political Junkie said...: The NCAA finally gets one right. NCAA argued in court that the college football career of Brendan Sorsby is over since he bet on his own games. His lawyers argue it is a mental health condition. My God!
I love what Pete Rose "Charlie Hustle" represents, but Pete should never be in baseball HOF because he bet on games of his own team.; 5/30/26, 5:46 PM

NKP said...: I see where some group in NY has come up with a "starter number" for reparations.

I have a suggestion. Any amount agreed upon must include a matching amount from the people who sold them.

Number two. The number cannot exceed the amount needed to buy a home, start a business in the "old country".

In order to actually receive their "reparations", they must trade their US citizenship for a first class ticket to their ancestral home, People in the slammer are elibible for this program.

This is not an anti-black rant. Some of the most worthy and cherished people in my life worked with me, laughed with me and loved with me.

An hour ago I was checking-out of an almost empty supermarket. The cashier was a huge black woman, the bagger was a huge black woman and the kibitzer was an old white women who'd left her register unattended

Two of them were giving the bagger serious shit about her fantasy about no-calorie donuts. As I fumbled for cash, they turned their attention to me, wanting to know if I was from Wyoming (I was wearing a Wyo Ath Dept t-shirt).

A 10-minute conversation ensued - many laughs, many questions.. other customers interrupted the party but as I said bye and walked out, I turned and said to the bagger - "I don't know why they're lying to you - plenty of places around here have great calorie free donuts if you know where to look. They were all screaming at me as I walked out the door :-)

We really can ALL get along. We just have to do it.

I despair a bit when people ignore the opportunities they've been given.

Apologies to any I've offended.; 5/30/26, 6:19 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: We have an open border and millions of immigrants pouring into the country every year. The Democrat party from Top to Bottom wants zero enforcement of immigration laws or checking to make sure only citizens vote.

Given that, Black people and their problems are small potatoes.; 5/30/26, 6:26 PM

Fantastic.; 5/30/26, 6:27 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Correction : "The viral Reddit rumor about cosplayers selling "feet juice" is partially true, but the part about the lung infections and lawsuits is fake. A bizarre marketing stunt involving foot-marinated drinks did actually happen, but the subsequent medical panic was an internet hoax."

Sorry about that. I should have checked before rushing to post.; 5/30/26, 6:37 PM
Mason G said...: RE: Reparations...

From a meme in the link above your post:

"If, as a white man, I'm supposed to carry the sins of white men from hundreds of years ago then surely to goodness, the Democrat Party should carry the sins of Democrats from the past. The government never owned slaves, but democrats did. If you want reparations, ask the DNC."; 5/30/26, 6:38 PM

Jim at said...: I love what Pete Rose "Charlie Hustle" represents, but Pete should never be in baseball HOF because he bet on games of his own team.

Whether Rose did or did not bet on his own team is immaterial.

He broke the unbreakable rule.

That rule is on the wall of every locker room, in every stadium. All the players, coaches and managers know it's the unbreakable rule. Break it and you're banned from the game for life.

Pete Rose knew it, and yet still bet on baseball.

It doesn't get more cut and dried than that.; 5/30/26, 6:44 PM

You wouldn't think, would you? Yet still, some people (not me, BTW) argue...; 5/30/26, 6:58 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: Just saw Nuremberg with Russell Crowe (2025). Judging from Rotten tomatoes, the average move watcher seems to love it, the critics not so much.

Anyway, for an Australian, Crowe does a suprisingly good job as Herman Goering. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie isn't so well done. I started skipping all their scenes, and just watching the ones with Crowe in it for the last 1/2.

Another problem? This is the sort of thing - the Nuremberg Trials - that really needs to be done as TV mini-series. Trying to cram all this information in 2.5 hours, while having to pander to the bam! Zoom! movie-goers doesn't work.; 5/30/26, 7:26 PM
