A few years ago, I knew a girl who was a singer. Still is I guess. Sort of.
She is actually quite good, truth be told. Or at least she could have been. She has amazing range. No shit.
And I don’t mean I knew her “biblically”. I got locked into the friend zone with her rather quickly. Which was fine. And probably for the best. But I still thought her talent was quite amazing and I tried to get a friend in New York to give her a shot. Which she got.
But she fucked it up, mostly because she turned out to be quite the narcissist. Her attitude was terrible (which frankly, I took some heat for…my mistake) and it ended up getting her fired from the club she was singing in in New York because of it. Now she lives in a van in Florida with some dude. And now she reads tarot cards at renaissance fairs to make ends meet. And I guess pay for gas. Holy. Shit.
No I’m not lying.
Amongst other things, she hated all other female singers and didn’t mind saying so to anyone who would listen. My own personal opinion is that it was because she never hit it as big as she thought she should have, and was envious of any other female singer who actually became successful. But admittedly that is only speculation on my part. But it seems accurate enough.
But all of that aside, her alleged claim to fame is that she once made out with Gwen Stefani in a bar in New York. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’ve often thought that if it is…. well…
I sure would have liked to have been there to watch!!!!!
Yes, I’m still a horrible human being. We’ve covered this already.
But it’s still Gwen Stefani week anyway. She’s our special princess this week.

Yes, I do like Gwen Stefani. I think she is creative and has a very good voice.
Plus, she’s kinda cute.
BUT FFS GWEN…BLAKE SHELTON????? HOLY SHIT WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?????
I have to go throw up a little bit now. Then I’ll be back to feeling Hella Good….

Don’t Stay Up All Night Folks, Get Some Rest

Those aren’t tacos.
Reminds me. New Arrested Development on Netflix.
http://tinytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Say_goodbye_to_these_S3S1.jpg
Season 4 was shit. Bringing it back was a huge mistake.
To Redshirt: I wasn’t calling you a “dipshit.” It’s all of those pricks I’ve had the disservice to talk to who think they would be able to take on the entire US military, the same one they claim to love, that their idea that can overthrow the “tyrant government,*” is just idiotic. Wannabe Rambos with a lot of firearms. These are the dickheads who cause mass shootings.
*only applicable when Obama was President
Remember when bump-stock was a self-powering sex toy?
I didn’t realize you may have called me one, but thanks for the clarification.
Besides I am a “dipshit” and I’ve been called worse by my mother. We’re cool.
If it helps, I don’t think you’re a dipshit. Perhaps a child buggerer and a communist, but not a felching gardener.
sounds like a good 90 of the 100 folks in the arena are Spam’s fellow travelers
Well, despite playing well, WVU is now getting their collective dicks ripped off. Kansas can’t not miss.
Fun while it lasted. Hey, this team might be pretty damned good next season.
The band Beyond Reasonable Doubt was not nearly as good.
ZOT ZOT ZOT!!!!!
Are you an Anteater or a bettor?
Because this is stressful as fuck.
now you guys won’t look past the 3 seed you figure to be easy pickins next week
4 seed. We’re a 13 at worst (if we finish the job)
oh, I’mma bet and lose moneys on y’all
Fuck yes. A win and missed cover by 1.
But who the fuck cares.
Final tomorrow at about 11:30 pm EDT on The Deuce.
I didn’t bet tonight. Got 9k minus the vig in the account.
Can’t decide if I should go for the 10k or just ask for the check.
cartwright making things happen!
Zot Zot!

The whole fucking album really. This came out when I was in 12 when I was still in Boy Scouts. We were all goofy inner city white boy types, with tastes that consisted entirely of ska (so much mephiskapheles) and In Living Color reruns (we literally spent entire weekends doing nothing but reenacting sketches to the utter dismay of the adults). So when Tragic Kingdom dropped and the hormones kicked in, No Doubt pretty much dominated our musical rotation, discussion, and filthy little subconsciouses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bKfCVzSWMI
In Living Color is highly underrated. That show was genius.
I mean, even JIM CARREY was funny on that!
This is the banned “Bolt-45” sketch which was from the pilot episode (I believe) and was so over the top it was too much for even Fox. But it somehow made it into the East Coast feed and was thus recorded by home VCRs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlR-I57nmr4
Holy shit. I’ve never seen that before and now my life is complete.

https://youtu.be/dvDE0yvC6zU?t=209
Perhaps the only true benefit of having shit awful parents is that I got to experience all the good shit early. In Living Color was appointment watching for me from the ages of 7-11
that’s GOOD parenting, nothing wrong with kiddies watching In Living Color! It taught me lots of good race lessons.
With the full fucking intro for some reason

I NEVAR feel more alone around the Clubhouse than when No Doubt/Gwen Stefani are discussed.

You know, after “Non Sequitur” was dropped by my local newspaper for using profanity on his comic strip, I have four weeks of “Nancy”. On behalf of newspaper subscribers, I would like to say I’m sure they are sorry, I’m sure they won’t do it again and please switch them back. Its comic page equivalent of having the last show on the Saturday Morning Kids Block be a show on paint drying.

I need to move. Jerkweed rednecks on the other side of the lake just set off a shitload of fireworks. At 10:30pm at night. Why? Beware the Ides of March?
When I yelled across the lake, they told me to shut up.
NO YOU SHUT UP!!!!
If they’re using fireworks, return fire with firearms. That’ll shut them up.
I’ve got plenty of shells. But that’s how you go to jail for terroristic threats I think.
not wen ur WHITE ,, smh
Smallpox blankets
He said redNECKS.
See? Guns can do good things, too!
As a deep-blue DEMMYCRAT/COMMIE/LIBERAL, I was in the Air Force, and I own two handguns and a 12 gauge. I just don’t think civilians need to own assault rifles, bump-stocks, and extended magazines.
I do not disagree.
But don’t take mah gunz!!!!!

When I moved to the Upper Peninsula, I realized quickly that if there is an ideological civil war, there are no shortage of heavily armed liberals in Blue State Middle of Nowheres. I wonder if the SRA is experiencing a boom in membership.
Agreed. If you need an assault riffle or 18 bullets in a handgun for hunting, you complete suck as a hunter and need to give it up. If you need it for self defense, you need to reexamine the type of person you are to piss off enough people that you need to defend yourself against a small army or a T-100.
If you’re using an AR or something similar to go hunting, well, you’re just an asshole. 30.06, shotgun, or, if you’re real hunter, use a bow and arrow.
To your second point, you’re spot on. If you’re delusional enough to think your cracker-ass with your whatever “arsenal” you think you have is enough to take on tanks, air support, arty, and infantry… best of luck, dipshit.
my friend just moved farther out in the country because he wanted to be able to shoot stuff off his back porch (usually inanimate).
Like he said “I’m old and fat, I don’t need to be going on long walks when I feel like shooting somethin!”
Usually inanimates?
if a deer comes by and it’s in season, he’ll shoot it and cook it
LOL.
I just run over the fucker and get the front end fixed.
Salute to Dave.
my Yinzer, Demmycrat/Commie buddy owns over 200 guns. Even he’d be with you on the last 2/3 of your last sentence.
My Veterinarian mentor from years ago is really pissed at me right now because he has over a dozen open permits for handguns and I told him he was being a cunt if he needed to buy that many guns. You don’t need that many guns!!!!
He didn’t like my opinion.
good ol’ Bob helped change my mind on that. When the zombie apocalypse comes, I shall gladly head to Erie.
/even if he’s a U*NC and Pie-rats fan
He actually did go to U*NC undergrad.
Tuskeegee Vet School.
Loophole: If he’s a collector, than maybe give him an out. Either that or he doesn’t realize that the cartridges can be removed from the gun when empty, refilled with new bullets and then reloaded back into the gun.
I might help set up a gun trust or something in Nevada for people in California who like to shoot but live under that state’s draconian bullshit and want to own guns that would be illegal in California just out of spite.
TRUE FACT! The one real gun nut I know is a Yinzer. Yellow-dog Demmycrat, too.
You can use mortars, thought you may have to adjust the launch angle a bit.
…Is yelling across a lake a thing?
It was tonight. LOL
Love the Gwen Stefani theme. I’ve always had a thing for her and it’s because her handlers have done a good job making her feel accessible to people like us.
Here’s what it looks like to have a $340 steak lunch in Japan, cooked at your table by a geisha:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZMkqnwpDV8
Fuck yeah.
For $350 you get a handjob too.
Why pay? I can do that myself.
Degenerate lesser footy gamblers, Ole was pretty mum about his roster for tomorrow, but, reading between the lines, it sounds more like he’ll play a U23 squad to rest up his banged up starters
ur a good imaginary buddy-guy, Wakey. $30 on Wolves to win 1st half (+295), $30 to win the match (+244)
/also cheeky $5.60 bet on Swans to win 1st half over City (+1230)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQX14-zHaCo
Really hoping WVU can run the table and get the automatic bid.
Mostly because it would fuck a lot of shit up and I love entropy.
BTW, where is Entropy these days?
I’ve talked to him some privately. He’s doing OK.
Excellent. Tell him we said hi.
tell him when he’s ready for a heroin bender road trip, HIPPO IS IN
These guys remind of the Beilein years, with the added bonus of actually rebounding.

Whenever I have to tell my wife “Yes” over a text, I send a picture of No Doubt. It took her a while to get what I meant. Now she just gets annoyed.

found a funny:
Beto O’Rourke is what you get when you put Bill Clinton in a blender with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Also go UC Irvine Anteaters!!!! Zot Zot!!!
playing tonight vs Long Beach, should be a good game.
Crazy thing about O’Rourke is that he ranks in the 80s in terms of how left he is. Fucking Pelosi is more “left” than him
Yeah, he’s charismatic, but he’s only above like Bernie and Gabbard on my list of Dems. Again, I’d vote for a non-sentient dog turd over Trump, but let’s chill on the Beto love.
Josh Marshall at TPM is hinting that maybe this guy’s a phony. I trust his read better than any other political analyst.
My ranked choice:
1) Harris
2) Warren
3) Mayor Pete
4) Klobuchar
5) Booker
6) Biden
—–
99998) Sanders
99999) Gabbard
Will vote for my cat over the last two.
I am good with your rankings. Don’t like Klobuchar (electability issues), but otherwise yeah. President Kamala sounds good. And holy fuck does the fascist sector HATE her.
YUP.
That’s funny. I’ll vote for Trump before I vote for Harris.
WOOOOO goddammit we’re down 6 at halftime.
I’m scurred.
The Onion’s joke was pretty concise and accurate:

So I’ve got the earworms from listening to part of Hide & Seek, and it drives me insane that Namie Amuro has turned all her official videos into 1 min previews, so let’s go with the “Blind” World of Warcraft (3 years clean, g’bless) not-quite-machinima that brought the song to the States. The speed in which my brain started processing the lore and the names of the gear being worn is what I imagine it’s like for a recovering gambling addict walking by a random pick-up game of poker. So here it is: WoW at the peak of quality and fan engagement. Hey did you know you can subscribe to official Vanilla servers and play the game as it was in January 2007? Haha, what a funny idea. *burns computer, desk, and house just to be safe*

The Four Loco Generation

What was it like to live as a college student during those 5 years between when it first came out (2005) and when it started to get banned & “reformulated” (2010)?
I’d buy it!
Fuck yeah! Me too!
Didn’t that stuff kill a bunch of kids? Or am I misremembering again?
Probably. Aspirin kills these snowflakes nowadays…
Well, considering I drink freezer vodka and Monster Energy?
Who am I to judge?
It’s the same thing. Shit, I remember Red Bull and Vodka being a thing. I remember a club I went to in Brussels (Fuse) used to sell their own drink in a can (Fuse Juice). It was essentially that.
I’m never one to oppose killing bunch of kids
Hehehehe
I still see it on store shelves. Of course, the stores that stock it are… questionable.
Is it true that they changed the formula?
Yes.
Also, tonight LeBron is out (load management).
The 2019 Cleveland Browns are just like a woman living in the 16th Century, they have to spend the first half of their existence wearing a chastity belt.
For Duke/UNC do we all have Team Meteor? Too bad it’s Duke because Zion and his fellow freshmen are really fun to watch.
once again, am conscientious objector. Watching Mexican Lesser Footy and West By God Virginia
I got my streaming ‘Eaters coming up in 15 minutes. ZOT.
oh yeah, WOO eaters!!
Zion is going to be a very rich man in a coupla months.
Maybe then he can buy better shoes.
ah dislike ALL aspects of Gwen Stefani. Whiny voice, plastic looks.
Fine, I’ll take her, and you can have like Bette Midler or something.
Jenny Diane Lewis is better on all counts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY8bdQRpmGU
Better singer and musician, and certainly attractive…you know, I’ll just sit it out and watch those two go at it.
I remember her from the Wizard. Ah, the 80s, when you can make jokes about molestation and still get a laugh.

UVa about to get knocked off by FSU.
Still will hit the one line, but still…nice.
2nd day straight I bet FSU moneyline
/yes I cover bet UVA when the live odds got up to 11:1
Friend in Charlotte who got me into the luxury box fo’ free coupla days ago? His wife is FSU alum. So I just called to congratulate, though I did call a little early and they almost blew it while the phone was ringing..
I’m a jinx.
And now they’re smoking Toronto. Flyers really gonna sit here and make me follow every game just so they can get eliminated in game 82, aren’t they?
Speaking of pieces of ass . . .
I posted this way late last night so nobody saw it. You should watch it if you get a chance. It’s kind of hypnotic.
This first one is a pretty cool video. No narration, no music, no nothin’ except a Japanese guy carving up a giant tuna, from whole all the way down to prepared sushi. He uses a Santoku knife at first (my good kitchen knife is a German-made Zwilling Santoku and it’s awesome) but halfway through he switches to a long thin knife that I believe is called a Yanagi. It seems sharp as shit. In fact, I don’t know how this guy still has all of his fingers.
After I watched this I wanted to go down to the wholesale fish market in San Pedro and buy a bluefin tuna and cut it up ever thusly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65rxBoi74C8&t=1313s
What are you, some kind of Rockefeller? One of those fish in high grade can fetch 15-20 grand apiece!
Also, that video ruled. It’s always awesome to see an artist at work.
Yes yes… You met a girl called Lola and took her back to your place. Feeling guilty, feeling scared, hidden cameras everywhere.
STOP!
Gwen is in that rare “even better with age” zone.
Three things:
a) Nice post, and I agree with your assessment of Gwen and her qualities or what have you
8) I knew the No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont in high school. He was a nice guy who had shaggy hair and usually wore Iron Maiden or Judas Priest t-shirts. When they hit it big, my reaction was…wait, that guy??? But I’ve always been happy for him since he was someone I remember as non-dickish (no small feat at my high school).
&) Hella Good is the best No Doubt song.
I thought everything changed when she broke up with Tony. The band was never the same.
Yup
Interesting, accurate take. They went from a band of friends to four professional musicians who remain together for smart financial reasons. The band never breaks up, they just do the extended hiatus bit for Gwen to do solo projects and so they never become oversaturated relics. It’s good business, but they became a product rather than a vital group pretty much right after Gwen had her successful solo debut.
Simple Kind of Life is still my favorite song of theirs though.
