When I was a kid, a family some ways down the street had one. Almost the size of a Shetland pony, friendly as could be with us kids, but, boy, did he slobber up a storm!; 3/12/19, 8:32 PM

Titus said...: Beautiful. Sometimes peeps think the rare clumber has St. Bernard in him because of the big head, pardon the pun. I am like he is a pure bred and there only 14 official breeders in the u.s. Then storm off. Some ask I he is a clumberland and I am like no, that is a convenience store.

So my latest Grindr trick was born in Haiti, moved to Paris when he was 10, and is now attending Harvard. How fucking hot is that? We talk about Aristide as our cum dries the cleaning lady, the rare clumber, is hungry for cum.

Then I kick the shit hole Haitian out so Baxter can have some sustenance.; 3/12/19, 9:17 PM

in Berwyn, we had one right next door (other side of chain link fence) in our postage stamp sized lawns. We never had interaction..merely witnessing the gargantuan dung piles it would leave to be infested by flies.
Of course, it was much more benevolent than the German Shepherds that, after attacking a sibling in the alley, warranted us erecting a solid planked "fence"/wall/barrier.
I still remember how normal it became to innocently play in our yard while those beasts would repeatedly throw their bodies at that "fence"/wall/barrier.
Now..that doesn't begin to get into the eventual adoption of more and more exotic/dangerous animals on the other side of that "fence"/wall/barrier (a home based catering op), the tipping point being a lion cub that prompted a lengthy fight for an ordinance to illegalize such animals...to the thanks of nearby municipalities experiencing same.
Just somehow..this all seems pertinent to 2019...; 3/12/19, 9:19 PM

traditionalguy said...: The Scots pronunciation of Tobias Smollett's last name would sound just like it looks: Smol-let spoken as one S word run together. If you did not know the word, you might write it small let. He was a good writer of light fiction. George Orwell called Smollett his favorite writer.; 3/12/19, 9:42 PM

StephenFearby said...: In lieu of a rodent drawing, today's NY Post subway rat story

(The MTA offers a conspiracy theory.)

Rodent gets trapped inside change dispenser of MTA machine

Actually, just keep the change.

A video showing a [biggly] rodent trapped in the change dispenser of an MTA MetroCard vending machine is just the latest indignity for Big Apple straphangers.

The roughly 10-second clip posted to Instagram by user subwaycreatures shows the pest struggling to lift a clear plastic cover that kept it trapped inside the change return slot of a ticket machine at an unknown subway station.

“OMG!” tweeted Council Speaker Corey Johnson, who last week proposed the mayor take over the subway system.

The footage proves the crumbling MTA is a literal rattrap, commenters said.

“Rats carry all kind of germs- no thank you. What is the MTA doing with our money,” one commenter wrote on Instagram.

Another said: “I will now be double checking the metro card machines.”

The MTA suggested someone may have “planted” the animal.

“This is very troubling and we’re looking into how it could’ve happened, including the possibility that someone may have planted it,” said MTA spokesman Andrei Berman. “This is clearly an anomaly and the recent Subway Action Plan, Group Station Manager program and deep clean program have been helping to get stations significantly cleaner.”

Before the Election, all the leftist screeched about President Trump when he refused to say he would accept the results of the election...Its the leftist that still haven't accepted the election.
Then the leftist went to their fainting couches when President Trump refused to say if he would accept the Mueller Report...Now the leftist refuse to accept the Mueller Report.

It is plain who is actively working to undermine our norms and traditions.

Its the leftist that wont accept our institutions, not President Trump.; 3/12/19, 9:57 PM

“As Daniel Golden reported in his 2006 book, Jared Kushner — son-in-law of Donald Trump, husband of Ivanka Trump, and son of Charles Kushner — was accepted into Harvard shortly after his father pledged $2.5 million to the school. Writing for ProPublica in 2016, Golden noted that Kushner’s high-school teachers didn’t think he was Harvard material:

“There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard,” a former official at The Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey, told me. “His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not.””

Maybe Mueller is on the case of Kushner's admission. You might have Trump now!; 3/13/19, 12:04 AM
YoungHegelian said...: @Inga,

Writing for ProPublica in 2016, Golden noted that Kushner’s high-school teachers didn’t think he was Harvard material:

That's because Kushner's high school teachers thought they knew what constituted Ivy League material. They didn't.

Trust me on this. DC is full of Ivy Leaguers who I've worked with or known & my take-away thought from my time with them is "You graduated from WHERE!? Really?".; 3/13/19, 12:11 AM

Of course Obama’s daughter goes there. And she also interred for Harvey Weinstein. It’s a shame her parents would let her attend such a shit bag school and work for such as scummy person.

But like Bushes, the Obamas don’t give a shit.; 3/13/19, 1:23 AM
Drago said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 3/13/19, 1:29 AM
Drago said...: Since the obamas obviously knew about the literal hundreds of Weinstein victims and the use by the democrats biggest law firm (yes, the same one that colluded with Russia and Putins pals) to hire former foreign service operatives to harass and intimidate the legion of lefty assault victims prior to their daughter going to work for Scumbag Democrat Central, is it possible they were cool with everything going on there...as long as the campaign cash kept rolling in?...; 3/13/19, 1:29 AM
gadfly said...: narciso said...

Oh how about that

Some really stupid be-itches involved in a scam that suckered the scammers. There is a cheaper way to get your kid in a big name school.

From NYMag:
"Jared Kushner Shows There’s a Shady-Yet-Legal Way to Get Rich Kids Into College."

“There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard,” a former official at The Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey, told me. “His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not.”

Dad donated $2.5 Mil to Harvard and wallah! I don't quite understand how that fixed everything because graduation used to require successful completion of the prescribed curriculum. Pro Publica didn't 'splain that part.; 3/13/19, 2:37 AM
rehajm said...: So now according to Atlantic Monthly the talking point is the Mueller report will be a big dud. ‘Waiting in Vain for the Mueller Report
Expectations that the special counsel will deliver a long narrative of Donald Trump’s malfeasance are likely to be disappointed.’

Again I ask why was all the leftie popcorn eaten?; 3/13/19, 4:41 AM
rehajm said...: Colleges and universities look for diverse student bodies- athletes, oboe players, just really smart kids. Not always can they find that in one kid, so you build one in the aggregate...

College coaches get picks- one or two or five class spots because this person or that person is very important to the team...

There’s a Title XI angle, too. Schools need a women’s version of the guys team OR the equivalent. Crew and golf are easy to fund- not expensive, but it’s hard to find enough women to fill a boat. Sometimes the last time an accepted scholarship woman’s crew team member rowed was never.; 3/13/19, 5:16 AM

Meade said...: Mike, good memory, man! Mosey is a giant gentle farm dog down in southern Indiana. He's as big as many St. Bernards but he's a Newfie mix.
