  1. Boredom is not a sensation?
  2. Ever notice how kids used to eat lead paint chips, then they'd take, and usually pass, high school courses that were harder than college courses now? Now you've got almost no lead paint, and it's slack-jaws bloop bloop blooping on their phones, they could look up anything, but this app goes bloop! I'm not saying to drink a gallon of it, but maybe an occasional nibble?
  3. I am amazed that Bret Stephens went 2 minutes without mentioning his childhood in Mexico City.
  4. The concrete car business is wide open.
  5. Pretty sure that the main sign a business in Mexico is tied to "the" Mexican Cartel is that it is functioning, because it paid its bribes. I do like Banco Azteca though. You get in line at the window and when it's your turn you can buy silver Libertad bullion coins. Use pesos and get em about a dollar cheaper. If you're nice, they'll let you root through them and pick the ones you want. You can get some deals. I mean, if you're already in Mexico anyway.
  6. Mmmmmm... Grits Brainsssss....
  7. He lives on Instagram now.
  8. You'll get your dick blown off.
  9. Hey, it's the Dixie Chicks!
  10. French people. Though these are probably hipsters with pet chickens. Odd as it may seem now, one of the earliest appeals to suburbs was having the room to make a garden and keep some small livestock. People were very fixed on not running out of food. When my Granddad came back from WW2 he bought 10 acres on the edge of town, built a house and a greenhouse, and they turned it into a mini bean farm for a while. By the time I came along beans were no more and now it's in a forest in the middle of town, but I remember wandering the agricultural ruins out back.
  11. They are mountain folk. Will probably learn to yodel.
  12. Wait until you see the US political signs at their vacation houses in Cabo.
  13. Count Andreas Petofi. https://darkshadows.fandom.com/wiki/Count_Andreas_Petofi
  14. May Bob and Sheila recover, and have many more miles together.
  15. Laugh now, Libtard-- it wasn't real money, he used his credit card!
  16. Counterpoint: Favre was able to spell "Ain't" correctly.
  17. A man must merit extra votes if he drives an important truck like that.
  18. Probably because Big Guy told Little Guy: "Carry this around."
  19. Lots of those guys look pretty young. These pagers might have been the first pagers they ever held.
  20. Other Hezbollah, whose pager's didn't explode, ducking for cover as mob hunts for Israeli spies.
  21. A dozen helpful dudes standing around watching him bleed.
  22. I think if we get a SHTF, it's more likely to be a few specks flying at that fan, rather than a whole turd knocking the fan off the shelf and breaking it. Think slipping from present-day US to present-day... not even Mexico, maybe 1980s UK or Spain. Functional markets, maybe lots more walking and carpooling, eating more beans and rice. For a world-falls-apart extreme, you wanna be the well-digging man. Everybody will need that water.
  23. That's what my uncle said to me, when salesmen came to my high school trying to sell us 10K gold head-thumpers for 5 times markup.
  24. Not really a miner, but I threw a hundred bucks into Royal Gold a few months ago. Up to maybe 140 now. Take that, Buffett.
  25. Millennials don't really get dark humor, and Gen Z doesn't get anything, you just have to calm them, like panicked puppies. Eg: I once told a story from my Arrrmy days, where my buzzcut and boots (wore em all the time) would draw neo-nazis out of the woodwork like I was a nazi-magnet. But then I dryly added, I couldn't be a nazi because the uniform dry cleaning fees were outrageous. Some young bystanders demanded literal denial of nazi-hood or else they were going to punch me in the nose. I am not sure they knew how to make a fist. So I told them I wasn't, but in German. OK I lied about the German bit.
