Heh.

I'm gonna buck the tides here.

Conner the college lad?

Be healthy, and plan right for the future: Keep it zipped.

Find the right girl, one who herself keeps her knees together until she says I Do.

Marry and be absolutely exclusively faithful in intimacy and in heart as you raise your children.

Why?

Because instead of doing what feels good now, you want to do what is best for your marriage and family to be.

As a side-benefit you don't end up regretting all your mistakes, for myriad reasons, decades in the future.

Speaking for a friend.

Laurie David's Cervix from prev thread:

Yvonne Craig, who originated the role of Batgirl Barbara Gordon in the 1960s Batman show, passed away Monday night at the age of 78.

It's not the "passed away" part that gets to me. It's the "78."

Morning, Glories!

Aw, man. I liked Tomlin on Laugh-In, of course, and I seem to remember liking her in that silly movie with Steve Martin. And Milady and I really, really enjoyed her one-woman comedy show in Chicago, long years ago.

She played different characters, against an audio track. She'd be a bag lady pushing a shopping cart, for example, and there'd be no cart, but the sound effect of squeaking wheels as she walked across the stage. At one point, the sound track broke, and while they fixed that, we were treated to several minutes of Tomlin coming down stage-front and talking to the audience directly about how the show worked and other things. Then the tech was fixed, and she slipped right back into character. Nice performance, all around.

So I am the big disappoint to hear about her new movie. Of course, if in the end they decide the abortion would be wrong, that would change a lot; yes I can dream. And since most people go to movies for feel-good, hard to imagine it'll be a big hit. Yay! The baby's dead! Let's watch it again!

Oh, well, we'll always have "We're the phone company. We don't care. We don't have to." to apply to so many things.

Muslim and Gypsy Gangs Battle for Supremacy on Streets of Europe

...Reports indicate that much of the infighting between the Roma gangs are over the ownership of women, while the Arabs are much more profit-motivated. Even in areas where gypsies have seized control of the prostitution rackets, they are still forced to pay protection money to the Muslims who rule the city, reports the Berliner Kurier....

I know this part of Bangkok very well. The Erawan shrine is in the heart of the business and shopping area... The shrine is a major tourist attraction. The Thai government said the attack was aimed at foreigners. Local media reports that tourists, including Chinese, are among the casualties. ... In determining who placed the bombs or why, suspicion falls upon the Islamic extremist terror movement - aligned with IS - which has emerged from the Muslim south. ... I recently discussed the probability of IS-aligned terror cells from southern Thailand becoming operational in Bangkok and directing their actions against foreigners. Unfortunately, I was correct.

I understand Fiorina was on the AoS podcast.

Huh.

And I had thought she was becoming a serious candidate!

Suppressed Flasher: Morning Glories

I admit "Morning, Glories!" was hardly the most inspired of greetings, but it was mine. If SF is going to start using it, I'm a-gonna have t' find me a new one.

Howzabout...

Howdy, podners!

Morning, Glories!

The world is such a glorious place,
Why is there so much palm to the face?

GnuBreed posted this link above. I fixed it by adding an ampersand that apparently got dropped.

Morning, Glories! Running 'way late today because I went to bed 'way early and instead of getting up earlier I slept extra late. Go figger.

...in the summer of 1870, Lt. Col. Clint Donovan and two of his teammates must race halfway across Texas...

Yeah? Racing halfway across Texas in 1870. Texas is big. Bigger before automobiles. Big and empty. A scene like that could be as exciting as that part in Two Towers where the gang was walking. And walking. And walking. Then there was more walking.

Morning, bookworms!

Milady finished Girls of Atomic City (reviewed in last week's book thread) and says she'd like to write a follow-up review. She probably won't, though, because she has plunged right into Levin's newest.

I... read some blogs.

American tourist claims he was held captive and sexually assaulted by his transexual Airbnb host

Boy, that's gonna end up with a one-star review!

Caittylin.. Caitylynnee.. Bruce Jenner's reality show had failed badly, but Jenner has a new psychosis that should boost ratings. The former Olympic champion has now decided to self-identify as a paraplegic and remove his legs. Runner's World has already scheduled a cover shot for his bravery.

In the next episode of the hit reality show Pol Swap, Donald Trump and Trey Gowdy swap barbers...

FS: Getting mad at God - reminds me of something I read about a marital counselor. He said, when couples come in and they're angry, it suggests they still care about each other and want to work it out.

I'll tell you my secret. I'm always angry.

LDC: California ...lesser punishment for low-level offenders would enhance public safety....

To fully extrapolate that idea, if we never punished anybody for anything, then, everyone should be perfectly safe. Obama's theory of handling ISIS, apparently.

D'j'ever notice that some people have Theories about Life which tend to be exactly the opposite of Reality?

D'j'ever notice that they tend to drift into positions where Reality doesn't intrude, like academia and politics?

Changes in Clinton Campaign
https://youtu.be/l_cC0mAsPKQ

After her wildly successful joke about her Instagram account demonstrated her stand-up chops to the world, Hillary's campaign has decided to play to that strength. Her run for the Presidency is now "the Hillarity Tour."

"I ain't no ways tarred," drawled the former First Lady with a wink. "I've got tons of material. Lots more of the 'disappearing emails' jokes. Some great commodities trading zingers. Of course, we've got binders full of bimbo humor, not to mention innuendo about Bill's bent Willy. And we're working up lots of knee-slappers about that funny night in Benghazi. I'll have them rolling in the aisles all the way to the inauguration."

Then she threw back her head and made a strange cackling sound that her advisers assured me was laughter.
