Weekend Open Thread
A woman posted a video of herself complaining about not getting any man to help her move a granite object she purchased. After it was delivered, she contacted the men on her contact list. Everyone gave her an excuse on why they could not help her move it. She subsequently questioned the quality of men today, and even rhetorically asked if they expected “little old me” to do it. She reasoned that if she were “hotter”, she’d get volunteers.
However, she apparently took the video down after getting a lot of backlash. Many called her out for trying to take advantage of men while given them nothing they valued in return. Many Netizens simply declared that men are leaving the “friend zone” while others asked why she didn’t get her boyfriend to get his buddies to help him move the granite.
She ultimately hired a moving company to move the granite for her. Enjoy your weekend!

Not second!
First!
Three (3) second interval took away the 3pete trifecta from The Gun Bunny…not that I expected to be a contender anyhow, just came in from escort duty. Well played, Good Sir…Well played. Have a Rat from The Cong for your FIRSTNESS>
Nah, go ahead and take, I was just messin’ with you
It’s all good, Tally. We’ll just sit here and keep the dust offen these grilled tube steaks and chili cheese fries (hand cut taters) that I been making up for the d’weeded and Adorable Deplorables, while warshing them down with a few Frosty Cold Fermented Beverages and/or some of the vast store of Distilled Class VI Beverages available @ Fire Base Magnolia. There is also a goodly amount of The House Wine, Sweet Iced Tea, for those that REALLY want to be refreshed. Gots us a balmy 72 degrees F with a nice breeze blowing in from the West South West. We’re 60 degrees F warmer than we were this time last week.
I only mention my culinary abilities to remind Our Very Own BELOVED Only Army Mom that I cook. I also know which position to leave a toilet seat in. Jus’ sayin’.
Well, ain’t’chew the well educated high class gennalman!
I have skills…and know things…
Toilet seat? If today’s Women are truly as strong and independent as they say, then why can’t they put the seat down themselves? *ducks quickly*
Just had one of those discussions. It is in a “no-logic” zone… no matter the logic, as a male you WILL lose.
DOOOOOMMMMMMEEEEEDDD !!!!
Abandon all hope…ye who enter here…
You can’t do that….
We’re doomed if you do that….
Doomed I say !!!
DOOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEDDDD !!!!!!@

Drats, foiled again!
Hack Stone was distracted by checking on the sourdough bread in the toaster for the tuna sandwich.
You toast your bread for tuna sandwiches? I’m gonna have to try that.
Oh, yes, very delicious!
You’ll love it!
ONLY way ta go. Just like if you want a peanut butter sandwich on toast, spread a wee bit of butter on the toast before you slather on the crunchy.
Toasted bread, crunchy peanut butter with Fluff (semi-liquid marshmellow.) Can find it in most grocery stores.
I thought it might be from outdated Red Hat Software slowing your computer down!
Hate to break it to Tallywhagger, but unless I am really misunderstanding the rules of the WOT, The King of Battle gets the coveted, always-earned, never-given FIRST. You see, you have to say “First” in the message. “Not second” has the same meaning, I will concede, but it isn’t “First,” which must be said.
Mods, correct me if I’m wrong …
Yes, I think you are correct and I gleefully surrender not second to the actual first.
While the King of Battle and Tallywhagger fight out who gets the coveted “First,” I think I’ll just drop off some trivia, grab some popcorn, and watch the sparks fly. Enjoy, my fellow ‘weeds and ‘weedettes!
DID YOU KNOW…?
Were the D-Day landings in World War II almost given away by a newspaper crossword puzzle?
By Commissioner Wretched

Copyright © 2025
Now that the first month of 2025 is rapidly falling behind us, an assessment of how things are going is in order.
I can only tell you how it’s going for me, but from my perspective, it’s going as well as can be expected. Since I remain on “this side of the dirt,” as they say, I have very little to complain about.
And I certainly hope the same is true for you.
That being said, let’s get into this week’s collection of trivial nuggets hauled out of the vault. You just might enjoy these!
Did you know …
… you might be allergic to the Moon? Of course, there’s no real way for you to know, short of actually going to visit our natural satellite. But at least one astronaut found out the hard way that he was allergic to the Moon. Dr. Harrison “Jack” Schmitt (born 1935), a geologist, was one of the astronauts aboard Apollo 17 in 1972, and Schmitt reported that the dust on the Moon caused the inside of his nose to swell and gave him throat issues as well. Schmitt, it turns out, has an allergy to Moon dust. (Achoo!)
… the popularity of the 1960s Batman television series caused the other major networks to try a superhero farce? While Batman was a ratings hit for ABC, the other series – Captain Nice on NBC and Mr. Terrific on CBS – were flops. Captain Nice, starring William Daniels (born 1927) in the title role, lasted fifteen episodes, while Mr. Terrific with Stephen Strimpell (1937-2006) in the title role managed to eke out eighteen episodes. Both shows debuted on January 9, 1967, and both aired their final episodes on August 28, 1967. (And nobody remembers those other shows, do they?)
… rabbits are incredibly prolific? Yeah, you already knew that. But let me give you a little insight into just how prolific they can be. In 1859, Thomas Austin (1815-1871), an Englishman who settled in Australia, imported 24 rabbits to his property Down Under. Austin felt that the little bunnies would add some familiarity to the area, and heck – what harm can a few rabbits do, anyway? Well, by 1920, the population of rabbits in Australia – who have no natural predators there – had soared to an estimated 10 billion, all of them confirmed to be descendants of the original 24 brought in by Austin. (You do the math. Thanks to Mason for the tip!)
… a huge coincidence almost gave away the World War II D-Day landings? In May of 1944, the Daily Telegraph newspaper of Great Britain published a series of crossword puzzles which contained vital code names in the upcoming D-Day landing operations on the coast of France. The words “Utah” and “Omaha” were in the puzzles, and were also two of the names given to the beaches in Normandy where the Allies would land. Another word in one puzzle, “Mulberry,” was the name of the floating harbor to be towed across the English Channel, and yet another word, “Neptune,” was the code name for the naval support of the operation. The most glaring possible security leak, however, was the use of the word “Overlord” in a puzzle. “Overlord” was the code name for the entire D-Day operation. An investigation by Britain’s MI-5 intelligence agency led to the home of Leonard Dawe (1889-1963), a teacher, who compiled those particular puzzles. Dawe’s use of those five words in the puzzles turned out to be an astonishing coincidence, as he had no knowledge of any plans being made by the Allies.
… the human brain has enough memory capacity to store an awful lot of television programming? The storage capacity of a human brain has been estimated at 2.5 petabytes, or 2.5 million gigabytes. If your brain worked like a digital video recorder, it would be able to store about three million hours of TV program. (Why you would want to do that, of course, is beyond me.)
… some of the biggest names in the automotive industry are owned by another big name? The Volkswagen Group owns the following automobile lines: Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Audi, Ducati and Porsche, among others. (Ah, what’s in a name, anyway?)
Add International Trucks to VW’s portfolio as well.
Craig Morgan’s song “International Harvester,” while written about a combine, always makes me think of the International Harvester line of buses – particularly the K-5 in which Christopher McCandless killed himself (via stupidity rather than suicide).
Recently evidence has surfaced showing that the teacher often solicited clues/answers from his students, and that those students submitted words overheard as they played in and around the camps near their school. No coincidence involved.
Interesting! I hadn’t found that. Thanks … can you point me in a direction to find that info?
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/crosswords-alarm-d-day.html
Also sent you an unrelated email a couple of days ago
Checked all e-mails and didn’t see one from you. Can you re-send?
3 million hours of TV programs is approximately 342 years. More than ample storage for an entire lifetime.
True, but how much of that is really worth watching?
… five nations in the world do not have airports? As you might expect, they are five of the smallest nations as well. Vatican City, San Marino, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Andorra do not have airports. Travelers have to go to the nearest bigger country to catch their plane. (Come fly with me, indeed.)
… penguin sanctuaries in the Falkland Islands are a result of the 1982 war between Argentina and Great Britain? During the conflict, land mines were placed along the coasts of some of the islands. The penguins which live there are not heavy enough to trigger the mines, so they are able to live and breed safely there – no humans are going to bother them, not with the chance of being blown to smithereens. Efforts are now being made to prevent any attempts to remove the mines, due to the success of the sanctuaries. (Boy, those penguin sanctuaries are the bomb, aren’t they?)
… many children in the Roman Empire suffered from malnutrition? The diet of ordinary Romans was mostly made up of starchy foods, not including fresh meat, fats, or many green vegetables. (See, kids? There’s a reason to eat healthy foods. Don’t be a Roman.)
… most sports bars that show games on television do so with the sound off? And the reason may surprise you – it’s not because the noise of the bar patrons would drown out the game sound anyway, but because restaurants and bars have to pay a fee to each professional sporting organization to be able to carry the games in their establishments. Sound costs more. (Sounds like a sound policy to me.)
Now … you know!
Another fine job on the trivia, CW. We Thank you, Good Sir. Trying to play catch up and the struggle is real. Plus I gots a CRC meeting tomorrow and doing everything I can do to…Prepare…for that.
A quick note on the rabbits…Anybody that wants to get the taste of a tuna taco out of their mouth could do up some fricka seed, welsh, grilled, or fried rabbit. For Southern Australians it’d have to be fried…to go along with the gravy and biskets.
Mention me to the Lovely Lois.
Back about ’76 – ’77 the US Gov’t must have sensed an overage of rabbits. At least once or twice a week we had rabbit in the USAF chow halls. Maybe the Royal Australian Military could add rabbit to their menu. ‘but maybe not, if the Australian Gov’t is like the US Government, so much red tape would be attached to the serving of wild harvested critter, our mates would never get a taste.
Tasty lean meat. Quick to market, easy to raise, low cost inputs. I’ve cooked them, gotta be either WAY hot and fast or braised to keep it tender and flavorful. Far too expensive in the U.S. but they used to be price competitive in Canada.
I know cats think it kicks ass.
Rabbit is delicious. It has no place on a mess hall menu.
I’d love to see the science behind being “allergic” to moon dust.
It is, after all, just earth dust a few billion years removed.
Lemme guess, Fauci was the lead author.
Been watching a fair amount of YTs about women complaining “where are all the good men?”
Basically, all the “good men” are waking up and walking away from the toxic women.
The Third Generation Feminists are now finding out that they DO need a man.
These women are demanding that men bring everything “to the table” (height, six-figure paycheck, six-pack abs, simping), but those same women bring nothing tangible to that same table in return. Cooking? Nope. Cleaning? Nope. Want children/raise a family/make a home? Nope. Nothing but their high maintenance “good looks”.
So, to all you women out there bitchin’ about “where are all the good men”, you wanted your equal rights, now ya got ’em. And a few equal lefts in there, too. Enjoy your cats and box wine.
All the good men are with good women. Funny how that works.
My good wife was duped, I’ll have you know!
I’ve kept Mrs. GB duped for more than 1/2 a century so far.
Of course, cooking breakfast every day for her before she gets up helps keep her duped…
I admit nothing. I definitely traded up, though. Wife #1 was eebil, satan’s minion.
When it comes to picking women to marry, evidence proves it is very difficult to bat 1,000.
Every time I see some neon-haired female moonbat, I’m reminded that in nature, poisonous animals sport bright colors to advertise their toxicity!
The best day of my life was when my wife, then fiance, picked me up at the airport when I returned from the Viet of the Nam in March of 1971. She’s put up with me for over 53 years.
Present!
I am grateful to not have to be dating at my advanced age, I have a woman who is an excellent partner and understands we both bring value to this marriage and to each other’s lives.
Based on what I see on social media these days I can’t recommend to any young man that marriage is a positive option…and if one were to consider it I strongly recommend a pre-nup with adultery penalty options for BOTH parties…no need to give half your shit to a whore, but at the same time don’t marry someone if you can’t be faithful to either…
With that out of the way the reality today is that many women seem to revel in how much “they don’t need a man” until the moment they do, and then they want to piss and moan that all the men they’ve told to fuck off over the years aren’t interested in them as friends.
The number of fatties who think guys like Jason Momoa should be grateful the fatties want them is indicative of the level of delusion we’re teaching these young women today.
It’s time to stop all this “queens” and “kings” stupidity…99.98% of us are still peasants, the sooner we come to terms with reality the better life can be…if you’re an ugly, fat, unpleasant woman the odds of a good looking, rich, fit guy choosing you and staying faithful is about the same as me being chosen as the Celtics new center as a 6’3″ almost 70 year old…
Get real ladies and stop this insanity.
I think the Redskins used to have a few players like that…..
Mmmmyeah, twentysomething while I declare myself present and unaccountable as I award myself yet another Honorary First
((((OVER))))
The people in the inner establishment are awfully nervous these days, and deservedly so.
It’s a beautiful thing, their nervousness.

For a show I never watch it sure radiates stupid into my universe a lot.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/ana-navarro-slams-trump-voters-mass-deportations-america-what-you-did
All I can say is if they voted for Trump, they have no fear of deportation. It wasn’t exacty a secret that Trump planned deportations. I know a hell of a lot of Mexicans in my area (many of whom hold dual Mexican/US citizenship) who are vehemently anti-illegal immigration. I’m afraid I’m just gonna have to enjoy Anna’s liberal tears while I wait for proof of her accusations. I’m already waiting for a lot of proof from that other fraud, and I don’t mean Adam Schiff.
This, one of my techs I used to have went to a predominately Hispanic (he is Hispanic) church. Now, he is a former Army grunt who saw some shit in the Af of the Gan and is a very staunch conservative. His church wanted to house a bunch of illegals and naturally he was against it and told the church elders it was going to blow up in their faces. After a couple of months of just hanging around, not cleaning, bitching about the food, clothes, lack of money etc. The church kicked them out on their own. They wandered around town for awhile and just kind of disappeared.
I bet some of the Haitian migrants ate them. LOL
It’s like the sympathy many in the congregation of a Church I used to attend had for the homeless, on nights when the temps got cold outside, they’d leave the door unlocked so they had someplace warm to sleep as well as bathroom access, but that came to a screeching halt right after some “poor homeless person” decided to take a #2 right up in the Choir Loft!
The Shiffhole is 99.9% fraud. He is incapable of speaking the truth about anything.
I doubt there were many, if any, who voted for Trump that could be subject to deportation. American citizens are not subject to deportation, even if they have committed crimes here, obviously. Supposedly, according to our voting laws for federal elections, non-citizens commit a crime if they vote for Trump or the other team in a national election. But many of us know there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of them that did vote in the last four presidential elections. When they got drivers’ licenses under the motor voter laws all they had to do was check a box and they were registered to vote in many states. Most of them are ignorant of the fact they were committing a crime by voting. They will continue to do so, until the laws are enforced with voter ID laws and the voting rolls in every state are purged of them and the dead voters.
Late again. At least I’m consitant
Chiming in faggots I’m on the road but I’m parked for five minutes.

Okey-dokey, then welcome to the first first of the first month of 2025 and some of the firsts and the new golden age of America
Well, thank you, I was just messing around and didn’t intend to mess up the trifecta from a pro. It probably won’t ever happen again

“Army Withholds Identity of Helicopter Pilot Killed in Crash” 31 Jan 2025 New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/us/politics/army-helicopter-crew.html
Am I suspicious about the failure to release the 3rd crew members identity, yes. With all the talk from the DJT Administration & SECDEF about DEI and females in the military, the failure to identify her after the 2 male members, Rest In Peace Warriors, does NOT pass the smell test. The Lame Stream Media is pushing back and declaring that DEI had no contributing factors, but with holding her identify on screams “cover-up”. Could it be the family doesn’t want their child and family to be roasted and the inevitable online harassment? Certainly a logical explanation. Or, is it that the release of her identity will confirm some inconvenient facts that those in the media/Left don’t want to admit.
I say 25% the family doesn’t want the “heat”, and 75% that something about her will be unflattering to the media/Left’s positions. Earlier today it was all my X feed that the pilot was a trans-“woman”. However, the person ID-ed made a post on Facebook saying it wasn’t them. The longer it goes without her being ID-ed, it will only fuel the controversy.
This was a terrible accident. I don’t believe any of the early noise that it was some kamikaze mission. An H-60 going 100kts ramming a relatively small jet descending at 135kts is nearly impossible. I read/heard from DJT and others in aviation the -60 was flying out the lane and too high. Nothing will bring those people back. The job now is make sure it NEVER happens again.
The trans thing was a coordinated disinfo ops.
I trust S2Ug’s sourcing much more than just about anyone.
Something is WAY wrong with this story as to why they are not releasing ordinary information. Makes me wonder is she has a middle eastern name or something Arabic sounding… or why the family or the Army thinks that there is some volatility involved.
For now, I’m gonna cut the family some slack while they work through what they are dealing with.
Airline Transport Pilots, ATP, are held to very tight standards and 50′ is the maximum deviation allowed for assigned altitude for the qualification check ride. You can be sure that the CRJ pilot in command was an ATP and the first officer probably was too. That pilot was on the money, performing a perfect approach.
The chopper pilot busted airspace and deviated 100% beyond the maximum altitude of 200 feet. The instructor pilot is said to have had 1,000 hours as an instructor. The minimum hours to even take the ATP check ride is 1,500.
Albeit, the military is exempt from FAA standards. With GOOD reason, too!
I can only imagine how many lawyers are about to come out of the woodwork.
Nonetheless, for the moment, I am taking the high road and do not see any villains in this tragedy.
With over 500 hours flight time she may have once been a DEI hire but seems to have satisfactorily cut the mustard for some time. My personal, extremely uninformed assessment, is that eventually she, and ATC, will share the blame.
Supposedly, 200 hours was just training at flight school.
And she did 300 hours max (some have said 450 total, not 500, too) in her five years after that– 5 hours/month to keep flight pay?
“They” scrubbed her social media:
https://x.com/JoelSGilbert/status/1885845738350858419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1885904526944674102%7Ctwgr%5Ee08773785952ad21f46f6882d8bc52d7383b86c5%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F02%2Ffemale-pilot-rebecca-lobach-had-her-entire-social%2F
…and her immediate family’s too:
https://x.com/anchoredowlex/status/1885914366064648344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1885914366064648344%7Ctwgr%5Ee08773785952ad21f46f6882d8bc52d7383b86c5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F02%2Ffemale-pilot-rebecca-lobach-had-her-entire-social%2F
Current admin’s going to be pissed at some officials ordering for this. Family didn’t want her name released to grieve? Yeah, right. Don’t think this is what the admin wants. What’s y’all’s take?
They don’t want us to know she is a female pilot with only 500 hours of flight time. Hell, I have over 540 hours of private pilot time and I never had a job as a pilot. Supposedly, new graduates of helo school at Ft. Rucker depart with 200 hours just getting their wings. The copilot warrant only had 1000 hours, according to reports. IMHO, the UH-60 Blackhawk crew effed up. The commuter plane had the right of way, as it was on short final on an IFR flight plan, almost on top of the approach lights. He was concentrating on landing. The passenger plane was only at about 350 feet AGL upon impact. The helo should not have been above 200 ft. AGL. Had she been at the correct altitude for that corridor, there would have been no collision.
Sounds like, in DC, they’re doing “important” office/staff jobs before being aviators. The CW2, who’s job is to fly, only has 1,000 hours… in an Aviation unit?
“I am woman, hear me bore.” (Snore.)
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Just because there’s a guy doing things over yonder don’t mean you get to take a nap: Prepare.
Edit – In addition to the friends, families, and victims of the DC crash, keeping Philly in my prayers.
Tracking the Philly story as it’s happening. “Something catastrophic happened…”. Possible “puddle jumper”/inter city small aircraft in a residential area. This could be nasty. Reminder that plane crashes usually come in 3s.
In re your paragraph 2…the “They” have been very quiet of late…almost too quiet. The “They” have not and will not give up on the destruction of these States United. TL Davis and Arthur Sido in particular have had articles of late, discussing the laying back and waiting for a bit to lull normies into a state of relaxation. We’ll see. A quick quote from Arthur…
“Where we are right now is in a weird stage where the enemies of Western civilization are shifting behind the scenes. While normiecons are busy high fiving each other and talking about political dynasties, our Enemy is preparing the next stage. The time for celebration is over, now we need to be aware of how They are moving. It probably won’t be as obvious as the rainbow flag festooned freaks and bLM burning down cities and that makes it even more dangerous.
They didn’t give up and They aren’t defeated. Not by a long shot. The afterglow of the election and the last week will fade pretty quickly and then I fear we are going to be entering a new, very dangerous stage.” I personally tend to agree with him.
In re your paragraph 1…Hell…I AM a great weekend. Mention me to that trophy bride of yours…and that the temps are in the 70s. I do believe that Gnrl Bo Re Guard Lee is gonna predict us an even earlier spring…supposed to be cloudy a bit bit on Sunday.
NBC news says it’s a Lear 55, air ambulance type. Only the crew (2) on board.
Fox News says crew of 4, 1 pediatric patient, 1 escort. Fuck.
Indeed. No word on ground casualties except for 6 houses and 6 cars burning. Patient was being transport to MO so you know they had a full fuel load, plus the oxygen tanks and other misc ‘splodey things.
So far, one ground fatality, but they say that could go higher..
Happy weekend.
I hope you brought enough gum for everyone
Now go do that voodoo that you do so weeelllllll!
Also.
Presently back from other duties as assigned: earning a little money (assigned by my creditors) and hitting the gym (assigned by my doctor).
Praying for the families of the plane crash victims and the first responders.
Beautiful day in the AO. But I’ve been spending a lot of my time working on rebuilding a couple of computers. I’m too stinking old to be putting in hours until 0230 and getting up at 0530 for another day of duty. It’ll have to wait until my next days off.
President Trump is playing hardball, and I’m loving it. The (D)emon-rats decided to not play by the rules, and are now being hoisted by their own petard. Sweet justice!
“putting in hours until 0230 and getting up at 0530 for another day of duty.”
Amen. I don’t know how I lived through that part of life but I can still keep things together when sailing overnight and I don’t have to report anyone, anymore.
Cleanin’ house at the FBI… after making it so you had the politically kiss ass or get put out for not getting promoted every five years, the “woke” is strong there:

The writer of that article wants us to feel sorry for the New American STASI that participated in these prosecutions because they were “just following orders.” Last I heard, just following orders to violate peoples’ constitutional rights was not supposed to be acceptable, ethical behavior.
The follow-on to the wood chipper for those times there are “things” you have to get rid of.

I WANT that!
We have a couple of those at my former place of employment. It would be nice to see some chains, about 6 to 8 inches long, hanging from the sides and rear of the attachment, as they will throw parts of the tree a pretty good distance. Yeah, it stings a bit if you get hit by a piece of the larger chunks coming out, and the laminated door glass replacement on the skid steer gets pricey when it gets broke. I’ve got the Tshirts around here somewhere.
They definitely make very quick work of trees or brush needing cleared.
We just worked on one of those.
Hack Stone just watched a video on Facebook where the individual was discussing public libraries selling coffee. During this brief video, he mentioned the Dewey Decimal System, and made a comment about it being “homophobic”. That caught Hack’s attention, and went on Al Gore’s Amazing internet, and yes, the Woke are indeed upset that the Dewey Decimal System is homophobic. Since they have already canceled everything we use these days, they have to dig through the archives to find the next outrage.
https://overland.org.au/2015/07/a-brief-history-of-homophobia-in-dewey-decimal-classification/
It must be really tiring, being mentally ill, and constantly looking for ways to be offended, especially when the cause of it is being correctly identified..
What if you are “Phildophobic”? Is that a bad thing?
Must be nice going through life deciding that NOTHING is your fault, everything else is racist, homophobic, nazi, islamophobic, …
One for KOB/
He’s getting ready for weather prognostication from a historically-named rodent.
Drink recipe, Brass Monkey:
1.5 oz dark rum
4 oz orange juice
1 oz beer
Mix and imbibe until winter is a distant reminder and/or the Beastie Boys are tolerable:
Beer and OJ is also a Brass Monkey.
Gnrl Bo Ree Guard Lee seed his shadow, got skeered and beat feet back into his digs. Predicting six (6) more weeks of winter. The Gnrl has an 80% accuracy rate. Not too surprising since the FIRST Point of Aries arrives on 20 March 2025 and that’s six (6) weeks away so…. May even be longer than that since Easter doesn’t hit until 4/20. Mama would NEVER let us go barefoot till the day after Easter.
Maybe we shoulda named the rodent Bedford Forrest Lee. Ol’ Bedford (nor Marse Robert) ever got skeered. They worked on “keeping up the skeer”.
It is a very balmy 66 degrees F @ Fire Base Magnolia today so there is that…and not a cloud in the sky! Mint Julep anyone? Cold beer? Some of The House Wine…Sweet Iced Tea?
This Ain’t Hell needs to start a new category for threads to be titled Woke Outrage. We can start with their plant based non-beef with PETA having a problem with Groundhog Day (the event, not the movie).
PETA is proposing a “weather reveal” cake in place of groundhog Punxsutawney Phil on Groundhog Day this year.
The organization, known for its animal advocacy, believes that Phil is being exploited on the annual winter holiday.
In response, they sent a letter to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, asking them to let Phil retire ahead of this year’s celebration on February 2.
Instead of Phil, PETA has offered to send a vegan “weather reveal” cake, similar to a gender reveal cake, each Groundhog Day. The proposed cake when cut would show one of two colors: blue, signifying six more weeks of winter, or pink, indicating an early spring.
For the record, Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow, so we have six more weeks of winter. Meanwhile, in Merritt Island Florida, Piecoshit Phil has found his SEAL Trident, so that means at least six more weeks of no explanation of why the All Points Logistics website no longer prominently cites his distinguished service as a US Navy SEAL.

Left/libtards always want to f*ck-up groundhogs for some reason:
If you enjoy ruffling feathers like I do, remind the PETA jokers and other liberal fruit monkeys that Adolph Hitler was a vegetarian. True fact, and it drives them even more batshit!
