HELLO!

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

This place broken?
Nothing happening in the world that anyone cares to comment/post about?
Anyone else alive?

Happy Saturday.

spending most of my time in the Tinder thread looking for the ol' Hawk Tuah

When she is being written about in The Times of India, you know at least one of three things must be true.

1. She is one of the most popular women in the world right now.
2. Indians like blow jobs.
3. Our world is fucked.

Bonus - If she is the daughter of Harley Vickers, she may be the best thing to ever happen to The Little Hope Baptist Church, and my guess is they get a whole shit load of new members in the near future.

Grandkids are here. My daughter's birthday. Cooking for the clan. 1st I've checked in all day.

You let the whole team down.

But, since there's grandkids and family involved, maybe pdub won't ban you?

Unlike back when I was in high school working at Dillons grocery store in Wichita and would engage/argue with anyone and everyone checking out while sacking their groceries, about the idiocy of the Vietnam War, politics is not something I'm likely to bring up in public out of context. And that's especially true here in Florida because, #readtheroom.

So, imagine my surprise when, about an hour ago while checking out the 2 for 1 Herdez Guacamole on the shelf, the guy next to me who I had hardly noticed says, "Look at that price, it's almost as good as before the Biden Administration doubled the cost of everything..."

Me: What?
Him: Repeats above and then starts in on a rant about inflation, and never takes a breath.

Me: Well, he did inherit a bad situation with Covid and the supply chain interruptions, so the seeds of inflation were already planted...

He doesn't hear a word of it because he won't shut up about the billion dollars that Biden gave China...

(Now that he has my attention, I quickly take stock of the situation and surmise that if it comes down to it, I can easily take him.)

Me: You really wear this stuff on your sleeve, don't you?

Him: More of same

Me: Well, he's better than that lying POS who for the first time in our nation's history tried to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power. I don't know how anyone can support that guy...

Him: Biden's trying to start world war 3 so he can stay in office...yada, yada, yada, yada...

Me: Why don't you fuck off, asshole.

He keeps testifying, but turns and walks away.


~ 20 minutes later I'm checking out, and when the bill is only $70 some dollars, I mention how strange it seems to be so low because back during Covid, I came so infrequently the bill was almost never < $200.

I'm done and about to walk off and the college age, male sacker says to the woman checker, "Covid wasn't that bad, it was all the stuff they made us do in response to it".

To which I look at him and say, "over a million people died."

He starts to tell her and me why it still wasn't "that bad", but I'm not hearing it and pull the doctor card:

I can tell you as a physician that you didn't want to be a health care worker in a hospital risking your life to try and save all those sick people, whether you want to believe it wasn't "that bad", or not.

Then, I left.

You're excused. Enjoy the heck out of your grandkids, happy birthday to your daughter, and enjoy cooking for and eating with the clan. Assuming "clan" is your family.

Sorry you ran into a cross between a Gutter and a Lobster in the grocery store!

So here is a conundrum.

You're in a grocery store line with a few people ahead of you.
The first customer finishes paying for her groceries, so that means she should go, but she doesn't.
The cashier, says something to her, obviously asking her a question, as indicated by the customer’s smile and a nod. The cashier places both his hands on the head of the customer and says what appears to be a blessing over her. It takes maybe ten seconds and the cashier starts checking out the next customer.
The same thing happens after that customer pays. The cashier asks him something, the man smiles and nods. Again, the cashier places both of his hands on the customer and says a blessing.
When it is your turn, the cashier says he is a _________ (fill in the blank with a religion you are NOT but not a religion that you "oppose") and he would like your permission to bless you.
What do you do/say?

[Shirley]

OK, but you gotta give me 50, first.

Shirley: i got some contact righteousness just reading your post. Bravo!
Gutter's next post brought me back though.
I say no to the creepy hex. Remind the guy that the Chuckie doll pulled the same thing.
Blessing or curse? Ask a Royals fan lately.

I am completely torn. Would probably not want someone putting their hands on my head.

Grimace says hello. Well, not any more.

I could have added to my question - the cashier expresses that it makes the cashier feel good and that the blessing is for appreciating you and your existence and for you to have good health and well being.

I never saw Pink Floyd live. I did see Roger Waters perform The Wall live. Was enjoyable, despite him and his own personal political bullshit. My car got smashed in to in the parking lot on the way out.
I have seen David Gilmour perform live.

Worst Pink Floyd experience in my life was seeing a Pink Floyd cover band perform in Rosemont Illinois and the ex was the biggest cunt on the face of the Earth that evening. That's being kind and mild.

If I hadn't decided to go with my beneficent Sparko righteousness high angle reply, that's what I was going to say. That is, I'd tell the cashier if it makes them feel better to bless me, go for it, just don't touch me while doing it. Which, admittedly, would probably break the spell the cashier seems to derive from it, but, whatevs.

Recycling one of the oldest jokes ever……..the difference between hawk tuah and not is the difference between like and love.
