“He’ll probably have to pander to some special interest groups and hope there are enough weirdos in Nashville to sustain it,” said Joe Barron, Chief Investment Counselor for Dim and Witty, “personally, I don’t think there are enough drag queens and trans people within a 300-mile radius to pull it off.”

Garth Brooks won’t open his bar after insulting most of the beer drinkers in the country. His investors have pulled out, claiming he damaged the brand.

Roll me away
Texpat good to hear everything is going OK.
My thoughts also.
I may have found a Jesse Stone movie that I haven’t seen before.
Not that it really matters.
I love the series.

One inch vinyl hose ?!!!!
For Pete’s sake, we’re not draining a gas tank on a 70’s era Bronco.
Good news Texpat! How long does the pump stay in?
You should’ve told them you run on unleaded….smaller nozzle.
Texpat,
You could write a book about all you’ve gone through from start to finish, which we all pray you’re at the finish end by now. Other than the lawsuit. 🙂
I have a special “Brunette Friday” for next week.
If I remember to do it.
I try not to help propagate clickbait. I blew right by it.
I think you’re safe, mharper.
Cats and all.

This is utterly disturbing. These are scenes from a European eco event where… Wait for it…
They make love to plants.

I warned you. It’s disturbing.
By the way, nice job on Brunette Friday, TT.
Texpat, at least you don’t have to worry about the weekend thread. Rest easy, dude.
Now I know what it feels to get shot in the chest and have somebody shove a 1” vinyl hose into the hole.

Man, we could have fun with this one.
At least the SOB signed the law that outlaws DEI offices at state supported universities..
Abbott vetoes 16 more bills today….generally pissing off everybody.
For the first time, I wondered if I can set multiple timers on my iPhone.
Nope.
But it is coming later this year when iOS 17 comes out.

My cache is always clean.
yes but did you cold boot it?
I’m sure all the nurses love having a cantankerous old coot immigrant from texas who is of the Jew in the ICU.
Is his computer turned on?
Unplug it and plug it back in.
Putting on my Indian tech support hat:
Clear your cache.
Log out. Log back in.
Pray.
That works for me sometimes.

Sorry Dr. Phil
I don’t have a clue how to fix it.
You have nothing in the bucket.
Damn right I’m talking. I may start running this place.
Big tube running out of my chest with a pump attached.
Tedtam – two thumbs up on that one
Saw this elsewhere, and had to share the story: Old Man is taking too long to order for the lady in the car behind him. She begins honking her horn and being rude. Old Man tells the cashier that he wanted to pay for the car behind him. As he pulls forward and rude lady finds out that her food… Read more »
Hey unck.

Texpat has done it in the past.
My #18 and following by TT: I’ve thought since the first time I saw Billy in the back yard and stepped toward him, only to see him give me a ferocious hiss and then run away, that he had been mistreated. I will be nice to him for as long as he comes here for food, but I’m doubting that… Read more »
The article said that DeSantis has assembled a “brain trust of academics, members of Congress, and former administration officials” to design step-by-step blueprints for tearing the dysfunctional DOJ and FBI down and then building them back up again properly.

Tedtam @ 1:44
This guy is 40 something years old.
Heeeeyyyyyy Abbott is a failure as governor especially concerning the invasion from the south.
he considers sending a whopping 67 illegal aliens by bus to los angeles a victory when he’s really just assisting the global world order and lead toad Klaus.
Governor Abbott is vetoing bills like crazy – most of which originated in the conservative Senate – because he’s mad at Lt. Gov. Patrick and Senator Bettencourt over the stalled property tax reform.
I never thought I’d see the day where cursive writing was a secret code.
Related to nothing in particular…. Recently Katfish’s son discovered a thick file of records related to his younger sister. He was trying to read one of the documents aloud and simply couldn’t do it, saying that no one writes in cursive anymore and he couldn’t read it. I took over for him and though, admittedly, the person who wrote it… Read more »

Excellent news about Texpat! Thanks for the update Shannon.

Brain trust of academics. is there such a thing? It depends on what kind of ‘academics’ and from where they come. Ivy league origins will lead to nothing but misery and poverty, those academics who came up through the school of hard knocks, however, will likely yield very positive results; ie: rooting out all of the former from the mindless… Read more »

Now that my work here is done, I’m going to take a walk. I have a back brace and a walking stick, and I’m not afraid to use them.
