    We are doing the gift exchange, and a few weeks ago, a cousin asked what I was interested in, and I said pick a shirt from this site with an animal and a weapon and I'll be happy (it's the kind of clothing that @Brisketexan or @RDCanecutter or @Ghost of LL might buy for themselves):

    Something tasteful like one of these

    But it sounds like I'll probably end up with something like this

    Yep I'd be a cat on a dinosaur man myself. Did a whole series of Ape cowboys on dinosaurs, will see if I can scare up a link.

    Meanwhile Mrs. Canecutter bought me a half-dozen batique Hawaian shirts that I could wear every day and sometimes do. No images printed on them, but the "Fuck your TPS reports" is understood.

    I got my magat BIL in the family xmas draw this year and he is yet to send me any ideas for a gift.  Looking for gift ideas, semi-serious or not, that I can get him and also send a message. 

    Might be time to go old-school and talk on a phone.

    PS: I bought bullets for all the mighty hunters in my family, who if not MAGA are certainly not Liberal. Kinda like arming my own Varangian Guard.

    I wouldn't bet money against MTG and Boebert.  @RDCanecutter has already regaled us with tales of what would happen in a bar fight with those two.

    MTG v. AOC would be the top card of the night.

    I dunno-- put them in an enclosed area, and the Neanderthal wins 9 out of 10.

    For AOC or any other gracile Homo Sapiens Sapiens to shine, you need to give them more room, chances to innovate, missile weapons, and possibly a chance for better language skills to come into play.

    Most likely scenario is a stalemate lasting some 50,000 years, with the AOCs dominating coastal lands, and MTGs holed up in hilly terrain.

    Let me guess.  While watching MASH or some other 70's programming.

     

     

    Few years back we were playing with an antenna to look at broadcast TV. There were all sorts of stations that would come and go over the course of a few months. I found one that was 24 hours of Blacksploitation movies. Beautiful photography, fine music, they were mostly just regular detective movies except a couple of the cast were Black and got front billing. I felt like I was back in Westside Jr. High for a few weeks, then poof, another "live" costume jewelry sale.

    Here's a helpful tip:  from behind the shooter, place one forearm around front of neck, the other forearm across back of neck.  Snap them toward each other until shooter is paralyzed with pain or neck breaks.  The effect is instantaneous.  If you do not believe this have a friend GENTLY demonstrate it on you.

    No thanks. In 2003 I was standing in an English class in Mexico trying to teach them words by charades. "Break" came up, and I hit my neck with one hand and the side of my head with the other. A little too hard.

    There was a pop.

    For a few seconds I and the class looked at each other, as I waited for my body to collapse under me. Thoughts like "what a stupid way to go out" flashed through my mind.

    Pencils are cheap. Snap a pencil in two if you're teaching English.

    My new hobby is milking the goo out of my wound into a rubber bulb.

    Have to keep a journal of the volume until I go in for stitch removal.

    Just happy to have my arm and a functioning hand so I can give the double bird to cancer.

    You need to load the goo into a water pistol. I mean a goo pistol. Take it to shi-shi events, fine dining, open houses.

  7. Depends on what mayhem happens in the Republican primaries; when Jones won the senate seat the republicans were coming off a corrupt governor meltdown (Dr. Skeletor) and a three-way split to run for senator between Angry Snow-Monkey Mo Brooks (whose sorcery did not extend south of the Tennessee,) Luther Strange (comic-book villain and bland frat-boy who'd probably have won except he was planning to pardon Skeletor's crimes,) and Roy Moore, because that bible's not gonna thump itself.

    Alabama deems it meet and right to have open primaries, so I and a multitude of Dems voted for Moore, because, wrench.

    It was still a probable Republican win until a combo of Washington Post kiddie-stalking stories and Republican rebellion brought Moore down. Half of the Repubs stayed home. About 1/10 voted write-ins. Dems smelled blood and turned out. Squeaker, but it happened.

    There's a group of people out there you never hear about because they don't want those things. They take their several million dollars and do something similar to what I described. They have no desire for power, greed, or screwing people over. 

    True. I submit to y'all that the money barely matters.

  9. I believe in a benevolent monarchy descended from George Washington (last I heard this was a truck driver in Iowa,) a peaceful nation who pay Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas to fight all our wars, monorails and airships servicing all villages (pilot training avoided because they'll be trained rhesus monkeys at the tillers,) required attendance at Anglican Church of America services wearing polished jack-boots (for the women, men can do whatever they want,) all children attend boarding schools where they study Latin, fencing, and horseback riding as well as one elective pertinent to the management of panicky foreigners, and every household receives a basic monthly income with extra bonuses for purchasing art, which will lead to distorted economies similar to the old days where Mom would send three individual children into a store to each buy 3 cents of candy with printed Food Stamp dollars, receiving a total of $2.91 in change, which they'd then fetch outside to Mom who would come in and buy a bottle of Thunderbird.

    Also, we'd discontinue the use of nickels, dimes, credit cards, crypto, and all apps except Venmo because they haven't pissed me off yet.

  10. 2025 winds to an end and I am done with shows for the year. Wasn't a bad year.

    Main difference was adding out-of-state shows, 1 in Tennessee, 6 in Georgia. Tennessee was like sailing around the Horn of Good Hope with shit weather, Georgia mostly sold more (shooing away several large never-sell paintings) but costing more too as two-day venues + hotel, except when I watched foosbaw with @baboso Good way to move old stock and make future previous customers.

    (There are several similar-sized shows nearer to home that I avoided because they were put on by Mean Old Lady art clubs and I figured they'd draw a stuffy crowd, but I'm wrong all the time so maybe I'll just do them next year instead of all but the best Atlanta shows.)

    My unreliable little car is no longer unreliable, because it is dead. Now I have a big warm Toyota 4Runner that could hold double the gear I take to shows. It has made driving a joy and maybe in 2026 I'll find out what Florida has to offer.

    For now, I draw and paint. Several categories flat sold out.

    Except for me, of course.  I'm just different enough to be intriguing and irresistible to the ladies.

    Who are you and why are you winking at my sheep?

  12. Nice bit of boredom around here. Had the ECHO tech telling me her life story (I asked) as she scanned all up in my heart. She never stopped and said "OH MY GOD."

    Continued my quest to use every MRI machine in the UAB area. Sometimes you get a vintage one out in the county where it takes extra time for them to shovel coal underneath the boiler, but in this case I was in the Imperial Headquarters and the unit still had that new MRI machine smell. More importantly, the techno concert lasted ten minutes less than average.

    Doc hemmed and hummed a little, but bottom line was there may be things out there (I am certain they are, because the sneaky little bastards are made out of me) but nothing's getting anywhere near big enough to cause trouble. We agree to sit behind our cotton bales and not say a thing.

    Oh, and I was taking my blood pressure the wrong way. Instead of high BP, I have low pressure and can make myself dizzy by standing up fast, if I'm like, bored.

    Going under the knife tomorrow morning. The surgeons PA is a surly 10 and she'll be the one prepping me.
