  1. Another fine collection, Sarah!

    For my evaluations, see what I’ve stolen for my social media … 😉

  2. Emerson’s advice was horrible for environmentalists and leave no trace hikers.

    Sitting quietly together in front of a fire. Ah! The good old days!

    About surviving childhood. It did take several trips to the emergency room and a whole lot of stitches.

    Fish and volcano. Which is why we should vote for Scott Brown, not Sununu. (New Hampshire election joke.)

    Cat and goose? I see the elves of Lothlorien taking their swan boats down the river.

    About that hitchhiker. Unrealistic. You usually only see them at night, when you’re tired of a day of shit, driving home from work when the headlights sweep over them for a brief second or two.

    I see nothing wrong with the response to invading America. After all, it works great for North Sentinel Island.

    1. And what’s that USAF clanker pilot doing sitting in a U.S. Navy jet?

      And what the bloody heck is going on with what looks like a backwards instrument panel in the back seat?

      Come on, clanker, do better.

      1. It gets worse – that’s the emergency autopilot from the ’80’s Airplane! spoof movie, thus purportedly a civil air transport mechanism. Though it may have gotten started in one of the services . . .

        1. Plenty of airline pilots are still reservists, so no reason an Air Force clanker airplane driver could not be as well. Don’t know who is going to do the emergency in-flight reinflation procedure in that jet, though…

  5. I had a chance to purchase an M1A1 Thompson SMG for $1,300 back in 1983. For whatever reason (most likely finances at the time) I passed on the opportunity. Arguab

    ly the second worst decision I ever made financially. In 1986, the so-called FOPA was passed and the value of the thing decapled(? increased ten fold) overnight.

    1. The Hughes Amendment was added as a poison pill, ignoring it was the right thing to do. It should have struck down by the courts. Taxing a constitutionally protected item may be valid, but a backdoor ban by refusing to accept the tax is not.

    1. That’s part of it. Some just want the expensive things.

      (I have literally seen a Socialist defending not starting a co-op because the capitalists will drive down the price and so they can’t pay high wages. It did not occur to him that if Socialism raises prices to raise wages, it’s not raising wages.)

      1. …and similarly those evil capitalists driving down prices are in fact raising wages, by raising the buying power of the same wages.

        But all such arguments are pearls cast before swine – it’s all about the feelz, and sharing, m’kay?

  6. Thor’s magazine is of course, ‘Thorzine’.

    Regarding the three orange cats, the middle one clearly had the brain neuron when the picture was taken.

  7. Regarding, it might be rabies—well, it could be mild nerve agent poisoning or perhaps dehydration or even the flu. Perhaps inject some atropine, drink one quart of water slowly over a period of thirty minutes, and go to the nearest emergency room.

  8. Death certificate voter ID..

    This week I actually had to get a certified copy of her husband’s death certificate for a 100 year old widow to prove her married name since she had her birth certificate but not her marriage license. In Texas…

      1. Or a quarter of the voters in the greater Chicago and Albuquerque areas … Or South Texas, where the dead voted in alphabetical order for LBJ.

    1. Well, I heard of a widow who was trying to get a fine off her late husband’s license and they were insisting he had to come himself.

      She brought the urn of ashes.

      1. Getting all the utilities, etc., to mom’s name after dad died. She set them up originally when they moved to the area, 1960. Didn’t matter, they were all in dad’s name. Taking dad’s name off the banking accounts were easy in comparison. Just take in the death certificate. Utilities? Do not have a front office as of 2009. Had to call. “Put him on the phone to authorize.” Was on the script of more than one utility. Or why I’m authorized on all of her accounts now. If (she’s 92 this November) it happens, it (should) will be easier. That and it is also electronic now. Or why I made sure she has online accounts.

        Mom won’t have a problem with voting. She has a US passport.

        Regarding a fine on a driver’s license. Why bother? What are they going to do? Suspend his license? Put him in jail?

  9. Re “give a man a fish” reminds me of this gem:

  10. That’s literally the argument behind things like the Community Reinventment Act. The Middle Class own homes, so if we make it easier to own a home more people will be Middle Class.

    1. In Friday by RAH, the Republic Of California issued college degrees to everybody because colleges graduates made more money.

      That’s about where we are now, except they’re also saddled with massive student loan debts. 😡

    Because the writers are Californian. *SNRK*

    Sheep Batman. *G*

    Revenge, yes….

    I wish they’d get out of my comfort zone!

    Dress for the 90s… That would be cool.

    Doesn’t everyone love a good cultural experience? Well… those who survive it….

  12. The house in Nebraska had shag carpet in two rooms, plus on one of the staircases. I sailed down those stairs several times because of the smooth soles on my dress shoes (black patent or white patent. 1970s). We had a rug rake, yes. One winter, the shag by the back door froze in the condensate from said door, effectively locking the door by blocking the track (sliding door).
