I have desert island teeth.

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on October 11, 2022, 03:25:57 PMOK, it is woke bullshit then, just like everything else Hollywoke churns out. I guess I'll stop watching now. Got it! It's for liberals only. 🙄

I'm going to have to use the dread phrase "In the comic..."

In the comic, Vic the Veep represents Bush jr, and Dakota Bob represents what a good Republican President could've been.
Seriously, every Bellgabber should read that shit.

Ah well. It was nice having a top of the range rig, for about three months. Holy shit.

Quote from: SredniVashtar on October 11, 2022, 09:23:24 AMThat's because they all sound so posh, unlike the rest of you unsoaped slum peasants.

I speak pure American, actually, and am proud of it. The more it annoys the people around me, the funnier it gets.

Quote from: Jackstar on October 11, 2022, 04:29:44 AMYou think that's still triggering? Yeah, maybe in Squaresville. What do you think this is, quarter to three?

I suppose by now it is. Ewe, gross.

In the context of the preceding conversation, it seemed an appropriate way to poke a bit of fun at people who get upset over a particular flavour of meat.

Another comic adaptation that surpassed it's source material is Grant Morrison's Happy!

Trigger warning: Yes, some of the 'angels' in this scene are male.

Quote from: Jackstar on October 10, 2022, 04:31:20 PMToo bad they weren't thinking when they read it.

I just can't even.

I should know better, but I'm intrigued.

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on October 10, 2022, 02:39:59 PMI like how in the last episode I watched they even got into the whole need to address diversity issue with Homelander's outing of Queen Maeve. This is not woke bullshit. Someone was actually thinking when they wrote this.

You should really read the comic. You'd love its gleeful disregard of cultural sensitivities :) It was written in the mid-2000s, and I doff my hat to the series for taking that theme and sprinting with it.

Massive fan of the comic... wait, it's ok! I also loved the adaptation, for once.

Enjoyed season 1 and 2, then during 2020 I got fed up with actors whining about their gravy train being pulled out from under them, and haven't bothered watching any TV since.

I am of course a hypocrite and will probably watch the rest once it's finished.

Pronounce it however you want. Edinburgh is very much the least Scottish part of Scotland.

I'm shockingly indifferent regarding whiskey (don't tell my neighbours), but I do enjoy a wee nip when I go outside to smoke on a cold winter's night. I call it the whoosh.
But I dare not get drunk on spirits. I've abused pretty much every drug in my 45 years on this planet, including solvents, but nothing scares me as much as the three occasions that I've got black-out drunk.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Quote from: albrecht on September 30, 2022, 01:43:09 PMThis should be a top right quote and hasn't gotten the praise it deserves.

If you mentioned this to Dave Norway he would reply "maybe it was a portal."



My every post here is a naked attempt to get back in that corner.

Quote from: SredniVashtar on September 16, 2022, 03:45:46 AMI can't help being sceptical (note the correct spelling, colonial shitbags) about this whole lying-in-state business. How do we know she's in there? Surely, for security reasons, it would make more sense to stash her away in a fridge somewhere until Monday. There's always the possibility that the coffin might get stolen by trans-activists who will only return it on condition that Charles dresses up as Marilyn Monroe and live-streams himself on YouTube doing a rendition of 'Happy Birthday, Mr President'.

Also, I can't help remembering what happened in the case of my Uncle Everard ('The Caliigula of North-West Surrey', as he was described in his obituary). After only a couple of days the atmosphere was getting distinctly funky, and we are expecting that the old girl can just lie there for nearly a week in a medieval building (no doubt listed, so they won't be able to modernise it with air-conditioning) and nobody will smell anything wrong? It's still quite warm here too, which isn't going to make things any easier.   

Every British child of my generation was informed that "the Queen does not use the toilet" so obviously she wouldn't... hey wait a minute, is that what killed her?

Quote from: K_Dubb on September 14, 2022, 12:14:50 PMI just find it terrifically amusing that it should fall to me, a peasant, republican, and American, to point out that your own noble lady is not being accorded the most fundamental and human of respects, that of being called by name.  Instead, the fabled wordsmiths of England have trotted out "King Charles and his Queen Consort" which sounds like a piece of furniture, something you buy at Ikea in flatpack and stow behind the sofa, rather than breathe her name, as though she were some unclean beast.  Have you no honor?  Will no red-blooded native son ride to the honor of his lady?  No, not even King Chuck 😩

I think that monarchy is a very silly custom but if you are going to do it, you need to do it right.

The main 'problem' is that Camilla is catholic, while the whole British monarchy has been running their own scam since Henry VIII.

Don't blame me, I think imaginary friends should all just try to get along.

In case anyone wonders what the Balmoral/Royal Deeside area looks like. The entrance to the castle grounds is about 5 miles to the right of this pic. The hill itself is called Lochnagar, as in King Chav's children's book "The old man of Lochnagar"You cannot view this attachment.

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on September 12, 2022, 08:34:17 PMA mere setback. I watched the procession before I left for work this morning. What struck me was how many people were there. And the Cathedral is open all night to allow the mourners to pay their respects.

We'll never know but I wonder if the Queen knew her time was near and went to Balmoral to die, knowing that if she died in England, no way would she be taken back to Scotland.

Rumour has it that they like to induce births to fit in with their busy schedules, so...

Well, I've got to feed you somehow. Anything more substantial just won't fit through the bars, also I'm not sure your delicate constitution could stand up to real meat.

Quote from: WOTR on September 11, 2022, 11:59:40 PMWhat I found interesting was the take by our present PM (justine) vs. previous PM's and governor general's. All of the later focused on who they perceived her to be as a person or a leader (kind, funny, courageous) and the loss to the world. (Agree with them or not.)

However, our sniveling little skidmark of a PM took the opportunity to talk about how he will miss her, how he was feeling, and their talks. In the end, he even managed to twist her death into being about him.

*I would like to believe that "your people" at least had the good taste to not cry over how her death will affect them personally?



Am I allowed to cry over how her death will affect my wallet personally?

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on September 11, 2022, 06:32:13 PM...Reminds me a little of one of SV's acquaintances; Hailed from Dumbarton or a similar forsaken hole. A thin, bearded bachelor, Crispen Gandoon his name, who I believe could speak several languages and versed in Ancient Greek. And no slouch in the arts of Taekwondo, Karate and Judo. Naturally a black belt second dan in all three. He also surprisingly (His father being a Presbyterian minister) drank like a fish, and Buckfast was his favourite tipple. I think that was the demise of the relationship with SV because being 'a light weight' SV either wouldn't nor could keep apace of the rapidly inebriating Crispin.

This is the sort of paragraph that a person on Buckfast will try to express to you. On the bus. When you're going to work. In your police uniform.

It's like meth that makes you sleepy, too.
