  1. I shared that cartoon on my social account when it was first published. One of my fringe friends (the wife of a friend of mine and part of a larger social group) replied with a very sarcastic "Riiiiight", a roll eye emoji and feeble "both sides" argument. She was the first of several Trumpers I've since cut all ties with and haven't regretted that decision one bit.
  2. Mrs GOTJ continues to make steady progress. Lately she's been big on a high fiber diet which is supposed to help mitigate several of the changes. Of course she's now spending plenty of time in the restroom dealing with the side effects of eating a bowl of Colon Blow cereal each morning. One of the biggest challenges is her getting her progesterone filled since it's stocked out of pretty much every pharmacy in the area.
  3. I've told this story before but during Obama's 2nd term my chain smoking, feeble, alcoholic FIL paid to attend a tactical arms training & defense class put on by "real" former special forces types in South Texas. He was telling me how concerned he was that he might not pass because of his bad knees/back/shoulder, etc. He didn't care much for my response which was to tell him he passed as soon as his $2,500 check cleared. Grifting from the scared & stupid is almost too easy.
  4. Decorations akin to Cracker Barrel on meth is how I described it on the other thread.
  5. So this is the point where texags collectively jizz their pants because Elko is laying down the law, not sugar coating things, lighting a fire under the pre madonnas, right?
  6. Yeah, after looking through the complete listing on Zillow that thing is decorated like a Cracker Barrel on meth. His money goes far in Stillwater, and his wife obviously likes spending it on ugly shit.
  7. I thought it would be far, far tackier. So what's the play here? Downsizing?
  8. Fuck yeah. Make Trump, Abbott and the rest of the GQP fuckheads OWN what they've made. Women, a vote for Trump and any GQP candidate means your life is at risk.
  9. Haven't you people ever heard of coasters?!?
  10. It's brilliant, and a film that gets better with repeat viewings.
  11. I'm kinda amazed the dipshit had to resort to revealing his allegiance via a hoodie. Would've expected that during one of his 3 introductions to @closetojumping his aggy ring would have accidentally been placed inches from view. Or maybe he's the type that loses his ring on the regular & then writes fan fiction about how it was found halfway across the world by another ag.
  12. Is this the "Look what a bad mofo I am" humblebrag list or no? My answer is Willie.
  13. Apparently it's being kept quiet given the age of the girl (17). Perv is almost 60, a church elder & married with college-aged kids (the spouse filed immediately after learning of the affair). Some of the dalliances took place at the church & there may be video(s).
  14. This. And I'd love to see how much his wealth has increased during Biden's administration. Is he going to argue that Joe's policies have been bad for the economy while he's made billions over the last 3+ years?
  15. Per IMDB and other 'making of' videos, Gere accidentally kicked Gossett during the filming and he walked off the set and refused to come back. Somehow the producers found another 6'2 black martial arts guy & got him on set the next day to finish shooting the scenes.
  16. Worth it for the album artwork alone. It's essential.
  17. RIP Gunny Sgt Foley. There's a pretty cool YouTube video out there from the 25th anniversary of O&G where he's walking around Fort Worden in Port Townsend where they shot the film. He's very chill & tells good stories of the making of the movie. As people do doubletakes when they recognize him he's just super polite, says hi & acknowledges them. Seemed like a great guy to hear stories over beers.
  18. 14 Songs has some monsters on it. World Class Fad, Silver Naked Ladies, and Runaway Wind are staples in my rotation.
  19. Yeah. Had to go back & edit since it didn't like the characters I inserted. And I assume she had a cheat sheet with names & buzzwords that signal her to hang up. The curious thing to me is just how far one can reverse troll these fuckers? I kept ignoring her calling me "James," but if someone wanted to string them along until James Deez-Nuts of 123 Dingleberry Lane, Muledick, TX tries to make up a phony CC number how far could he get?
  20. I answered a call from an unknown number yesterday because a colleague had just texted me that someone was going to call me with questions about one of our products. Turned out it was an old lady who addressed me as "James"and thanked me for being a supporter of conservative values, but now my help was needed to ensure election integrity. She rambled for a minute about the threat at hand but also listed recent wins they'd had in Michigan by "cleaning" voter registration lists. I said just enough to get her hopes up & when she thought she'd closed the deal with "James" and could I be counted on for the recommended $250 donation I asked how much did one need to donate to get a God Bless the USA Bible? "OH gee, we don't distribute those. That's separate from us." James: "What if I donate $500? Can you get me a Bible signed by Trump?" Her: "if you sign up to be a repeating donor we have several patriotic items including pictures, flags & t-shirts! [Excitedly] Would you like to do that, "James?" James: "how much for a picture signed by Stormy Daniels saying 'it's really, really tiny?'" "Click"
  21. Bingo. My aggy BIL who is a straight ticket R voter for life and refers to the old compact fluorescent lights as Obama bulbs & decries how hideous they were for the environment while he pours used motor oil into the ground is even trying to distance himself from Trump publicly. His wife & daughter vocally refusing to vote for Trump in 2020 (both did in '16) has caused him to tone down his support slightly. His Yeti beer cooler is covered in stickers from breweries, aggy shit, and even a Longhorn logo one of his buddies put on as a joke. And there's one strategic Trump 2020 sticker. When I said "looks like you need to stop by a new microbrewery & get some decals to cover that up" he tried to laugh it off as if it was just a prank someone pulled on him a la the Texas sticker. But like every O&G worker in Tomball he's gonna pull that lever for Trump 100 times out of 100.
  22. We loved it. Definitely need the subtitles on or you'll miss a lot of the humor.
  23. Air Supply (!!!) is playing at the HEB Center in Cedar Park later this summer, although they're probably spreading the schmaltzy '70s -'80s timeline.
