This is a local joint, I know half the patrons and live 250 miles away. Great music, sports on TV, and even my hot waitress/bartender is mask free and has a great smile.
Did I mention 7.2% beer? Its from Back Pew Brewery which is my style |

They posture, maybe rub some paint on a destroyer, perhaps crowd a couple of our planes . . . then Biden gets to go talk them down and give them a huge trade deal to make all this go away. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hollywood_Shooter: Why do we even need belts? They can sew the velcro right into the pants to make them both secure and adjustable. I'm wearing a pair now. This is bullshit. That reminds of a long told story about my dad. Dad is about 5'8" ( or he was before he reached 85 y/o ) and about 160#'s. When he was young he was really wiry and skinny. I come from a poor, but blessed, farming family that couldn't afford a lot when dad was a kid. Granny used to laugh and tell the story that Daddy was so skinny, about 130#'s, when he shipped off for the Army that she made him a pair of baggy pants with elastic in the waist so as he gained some weight he would have something he could still wear. Our family joked for years that Granny invented sweat pants in thin wale corduroy.

dum dum dum, hear that? It's the beat of the propaganda drum.
Still at it...... CBS: DHS bulletin warns of potential domestic terrorism against elected officials, government buildings NY Slimes: Extremists Emboldened by Capitol Attack Pose Rising Threat, Homeland Security Says Snipets from NYT article.... WASHINGTON — Warning that the deadly rampage of the Capitol this month may not be an isolated episode, the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday said publicly for the first time that the United States faced a growing threat from “violent domestic extremists” emboldened by the attack. The department’s terrorism alert did not name specific groups that might be behind any future attacks, but it made clear that their motivation would include anger over “the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives,” a clear reference to the accusations made by President Donald J. Trump and echoed by right-wing groups that the 2020 election was stolen. The Department of Homeland Security does not have information indicating a “specific, credible plot,” according to a statement from the agency. |

@Doodles @Mariner82
I this conceivable? Believable? Copypasta: "I was once on a US military ship, having breakfast in the wardroom (officers lounge) when the Operations Officer (OPS) walks in. This guy was the definition of NOT a morning person; he’s still half asleep, bleary eyed… basically a zombie with a bagel. He sits down across from me to eat his bagel and is just barely conscious. My back is to the outboard side of the ship, and the morning sun is blazing in one of the portholes putting a big bright-a** circle of light right on his barely conscious face. He’s squinting and chewing and basically just remembering how to be alive for today. It’s painful to watch. But then zombie-OPS stops chewing, slowly picks up the phone, and dials the bridge. In his well-known I’m-still-totally-asleep voice, he says ‘heeeey. It’s OPS. Could you… shift our barpat… yeah, one six five. Thanks.’ And puts the phone down. And then he just sits there. Squinting. Waiting. And then, ever so slowly, I realize that that big blazing spot of sun has begun to slide off the zombie’s face and onto the wall behind him. After a moment it clears his face and he blinks slowly a few times and the brilliant beauty of what I’ve just witnessed begins to overwhelm me. By ordering the bridge to adjust the ship’s back-and-forth patrol by about 15 degrees, he’s changed our course just enough to reposition the sun off of his face. He’s literally just redirected thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of people so that he could get the sun out of his eyes while he eats his bagel. I am in awe. He slowly picks up his bagel and for a moment I’m terrified at the thought that his own genius may escape him, that he may never appreciate the epic brilliance of his laziness (since he’s not going to wake up for another hour). But between his next bites he pauses, looks at me, and gives me the faintest, sly grin, before returning to gnaw slowly on his zombie bagel." |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cecenrse: That reminds of a long told story about my dad. Dad is about 5'8" ( or he was before he reached 85 y/o ) and about 160#'s. When he was young he was really wiry and skinny. I come from a poor, but blessed, farming family that couldn't afford a lot when dad was a kid. Granny used to laugh and tell the story that Daddy was so skinny, about 130#'s, when he shipped off for the Army that she made him a pair of baggy pants with elastic in the waist so as he gained some weight he would have something he could still wear. Our family joked for years that Granny invented sweat pants in thin wale corduroy. Pics of granny.....in bathing suit if possible. |

The subject matter reminds me of some pictures my wife took on an assignment back in the late eighties:  I've got some proper scans around here somewhere. I'd have to check my notes, but I think it was the WIC FTX.  |
