rehajm said...: That carpet is what happens when too many people get a say. Either that or it’s nap time in kindergarten.; 10/19/19, 8:11 PM

Call it by name
Call any vegetable when you step off the train
Call any vegetable and the chances are good

Nichevo said...: What a dysfunctional workspace. There is no advantage to having all those people in that room as opposed to videoconferencing. You can't see somebody's face across that size circle. Can't even hear each other without amplification. Passing something? Sharing? That's what white boards are for. What a lot of jerks.; 10/19/19, 9:27 PM

It’s the carpet! It looks like something from the kindergarten for deaf kids!; 10/19/19, 10:07 PM
Ambrose said...: Get out Boris! Get out any way you can! Run away.; 10/19/19, 10:09 PM
William said...: Oh, that crap in the middle of the room is some kind of seasonal centerpiece. I don't think they thought that through. It looks like litter or the residue from some green protest earlier..... The room manages neither intimacy nor formality. You can't be dignified on a rug such as that, nor can you be spontaneous and confiding when you have to address someone at a distance and over two railings and a bunch of pumpkins.....I hope everyone took their shoes off. That rug looks like a dirt magnet. It's not a metaphor for diversity but rather a metaphor for how soon our bright dreams become tarnished and heavy with the smell of industrial strength cleansers.; 10/19/19, 10:17 PM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: good. They're finally being punished.

btw-- The Gab Report is now up.

Bay Area Guy said...: My working hypothesis is that Europe was so traumatized by World Wars 1 & 2 that they became atheist, socialist, bisexual pussies.; 10/19/19, 10:55 PM

Never seen him before. I read a lot of glowing reviews of his band but they sounded like a Vegas band to me. Good but not great. His harmonica was really good as well as his piano. Venue was about half full which surprised me. About half and half between young and geezers. I couldn’t figure out why he had 3 mannequins on stage. His band was dressed in gray suits, drummer in black and Dylan in a white sequin coat and black pants with white shoes. Not a Dylan fan but this was the first time he toured close to me. So I went.; 10/20/19, 12:13 AM

I congratulate myself for me(y) Lovie congrats. Maybe I can not wrap my arms around to tackle and just front like I will tackle, just because #1111 so so good.

Oops, Ohio State nor The Pennsylvania State University agree with that undisciplined spelling ... and stinky stink.

Now, repeatedly, we walk these repeat threats, as warriors. History never had 70 year old cancer survivor's but history stopped (not started Rush: They stopped history) and won't awake again save home's sanctity.; 10/20/19, 12:18 AM

wildswan said...: They're going to hold Boris Johnson down in the middle and make him eat veggies till he agrees to stay in the EU - and like it. Think of all the starving Balkan people who want in. they'll say.; 10/20/19, 4:44 AM
DUSTER said...: Looks like someone was carrying in groceries and the bag ripped, i hate that.; 10/20/19, 7:13 AM
Rick.T. said...: Like Lady Thatcher, I can’t tell the difference between the vegetables on the inside from the outside.; 10/20/19, 7:22 AM
Fernandinande said...: The display of vegetables might be propaganda in service of the EU's "School fruit, vegetables and milk scheme", itself a repackaging of National Socialist vegetarian occultism, "Leave our food as natural as possible!"; 10/20/19, 7:27 AM
stlcdr said...: When my British relatives harp on about how nasty Trump is and out totalitarian regime, I just ask ‘how’s that Brexit thing is working out for ya?’; 10/20/19, 7:37 AM
stlcdr said...: Brexit is a lose-lose for the EU politicians (ugh). If* Britain leaves, it demonstrates that any EU nation - particularly the ones which are burdened by them (France, Germany) can just up and leave also.

If they overturn the referendum, it demonstrates these people - in the loosest sense of the word - are rulers. See the picture above; welcome to how European rulers rule over you.; 10/20/19, 7:48 AM
Phil 314 said...: I hope there are rooms off this hall where men can sit, smoke a cigar and do real politicking.; 10/20/19, 8:20 AM

Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks liked vegetables. My favorite thing about this song, besides the goofy sound, is the "Cart off and..." line, which is a pun on the German word for potato (Kartoffeln).; 10/20/19, 9:46 AM
