Quote from: Laser on October 19, 2022, 11:19:16 PMThis reminds me of a friendly little match played psychically between the Donald and Omarosa on a now lost episode of Who's the Boss Who's the Apprentice (maybe)?


1. d4    e6

2. ♘c3  ♛f6

Characteristically disdainful of team play and unconcerned for her own safety, Omarosa thrusts herself into the mainfray.

Donald will naturally nudge her for the impetuous move, but secretly admire the dynamism displayed.

3. ♘d5    En garde!

Huh, that is not the move I'd make if I were the White Knight.  Honestly I haven't even set up a board on this one to see what sort of cray-cray moves are available, as this is an opening I typically do Not See.

With out setting the board up, I believe:

White    Red
d4        e6
N-c3      Q-f6
N-d5      B-b7(?:?:?)...

Is a possible future for that opening?

Nautical Shore.

Speaking of are you volunteering for the IC position as well?  If so, I will address that possibility in my next message.

Hey Roz,

Thank you for your prompt reply!

I now officially break up with you my erstwhile intar-tube girlfriend.  I salute your gameswomanship these past few years.

I would not want to leave you empty-handed;  for playing along so half-heartedly I would like to restore to you your Burger Queen crown:



You may pick it up on your next shift:  assuming you still work there and they still have some.  You might want to take a Sharpie and scratch out the word "King" and write "Queen" in.

Well Played.

Honestly, though I did not expect that you and Master Trollda would become such allies.  That was surprising, and might cost someone some dinero on the side bets.

Also, thank you for saving me the cost of having my jaw re-attached.

I will now have to re-learn/re-invent my pate-ese, so that we can get back to Nermal around hear!



Prosit! my sweet cookie Burger Queen!  YAY!

Two Hundred Ninety-two, Make Dad Smile On Wednesday
"SOYLENT PURPLE HAMBURGLAR" : "TRIUMVIRATE ARCH" : "EYE DEW" : "METHUSULA PROGENY" : "AYE COMM OBLAST"
Classification: FOCUO

ALLCON,

There are two items on the agenda in these last few weeks before the 2022 Mid-term elections.  I believe the die is cast with that: interestingly I always thought of casts and dies as they relate to metallurgy with that old "alea iacta est" saw;  I suppose something is lost in the translation. 

Nautical Shore.

Today, I want to propose that the "WHO shat in the interregnum" & "WHO farted in the elevator" KamPain slogans be abandoned as soon as the fraudulent results of the MidTerms are released.  Hopefully NLT three days after the polls close, but we will monitor that as it unfolds.

This may provide some insight on how we might better manipulate the Multi-Vote for the 2024 Presidential election and end up with the lion's share of fraudulent votes.

What is of interest to me, and K_Dubb as well, is what aggregate portion of the Multi-Vote will write in "pate/K_Dubb" for any and all offices (local/county{PARISH}/federal) presented on their local ballots.  I think we can use this information to better focus our grass-roots KamPain events in FY2023-FY2024.  I imagine this information will be difficult to obtain, as write-in information is not readily tabulated:  At least not in the low numbers that I expect for the 2022 Mid-Terms. 

We might stash a few pre-filled out Mail-In Ballots nearby to the polling places to test site security in a few select locations in order to distribute them to those voters who might still be wary of in-person voting due to CornHoleEbola-19.5 concerns.

That might game our aggregate data a bit, but we can have the Statisticians correct for that in the projections.

Speaking of Games, that leads me naturally into the new KamPain slogan I have been thinking about:

"pate is not afraid to step up to the plate!"

This occurred to me watching the ongoing World Series Playoffs:  which I am not to interested in this year;  although a Houston/San Diego Series might be watchable.

I would love to watch some fun inter-league games.  I have been pondering the amusement value of watching, for instance;  the Little League World Series champions face off against the Minor and/or Major League World Series champions.

Something about playing "out of your league" amuses me.  Hell, even get the Special Olympics World Series champions in there:  that'd be a hoot!

I think that gets the fun topic out of the way, now for something serious that may have consequences for the 2024 KamPain:

It has recently been brought to my attention that both myself and my running mate are accuesed of digital rapery (or at minimum, digital gropery).  It is sad to find out that in this age of censored online speech, trusted sources, and verified accounts that such forceful digital penetration of psyches on unwilling and perfectly innocent victims could possibly occur.

Anyone who has watched "The Matrix" knows that things that happen digitally can have real world effects:


While I vehemently assert my innocence, and assume K_Dubb's:  we all know that the Victim determines the percieved Crime/Criminal.  PoundSignMeToo!

Unfortunately, BellGab;  one of the last bastions of freedom and the MAPA way:  is allegedly the site of this digital rapery.

Victims should not be forced to visit only the abysmal hells of places like EllGab, Twatter, FakebookMeta, et al for safe spaces.

I demand heavy censorship, moderation, and outright deletion of any and all posts that might cause anyone forced to visit this site to experience mental discomfort!  PoundSignMeToo!

This will probably free up some space on the BellGab servers for more Cat Pictures, Inoffensive Non-sequitors, and Random Amusing (G-rated) Vidya postings with no text.

I realize this is ugliness that we normally would not expect to see this close to a National Election, and I fear it is the dreaded October Surprise for the MAPA KamPain.

The best bet, right now, is to get out there and Step Up To The Plate and knock this nonesense out of the park.

After a full investigation of course:  I am calling for a non-partisan, fair-minded, and MAPA-approved Independent Counsel to step forward and head up this investigation.

I believe, the 4D chess-moves (so far) are:

White    Red
d4        e6
N-c3      Q-f6

White Knight to move...

I will not identify the players in this match due to the impending investigation by the soon to be appointed Independent Counsel.

We can no longer afford to politely ignore farts in elevators, even if they are digital farts in digital elevators.

Now, that I have dealt with that, Hear Muzaks:


I may send out the individual November KamPain Talking Points Memo early, I have some notes on 5G-Go gamesmanship (or gameswomanship, if you prefer) and the current scores, which some of you might find surprising!

Thank you in Advance!  It is an honor to serve.

Quote from: Roswells, Art on October 17, 2022, 01:46:20 PMWell, if you do win the election the amount of women he meets that are lesbians will go down drastically.

Hey Roz,

That was a funny vidya!

I certainly hope that the amount of lesbian applicants doesn't go down drastically!  I enjoy dating lesbians (I think technically they are referred to as bi-sexual nowadays).

I recall fondly the pair I dated back in my High School/Early College years.  One was a "Goth" type (they were both Kansans, I note) that was into Marylin Manson & Trent Reznor/NIN.  The NIN part I could handle, but Manson was a bit too much.  Anyway, she was the "lipstick" type.

Her friend was the type that liked to wear plaid/skater/frumpy stuff, and was the durty-hawt.

I would take them to one of the comedy clubs in town (had a line on free front row tickets from a local DJ) and this nice little wine bar/cafe.

I was early twenties (I think I turned 21 while we were dating?), and they were late teens.  Anyway, the Goth one moved to California at some point for college (Psychology Degree, big surprise!  Hah) and I believe her friend moved with her.

Last time I checked in on Goth-girl she was a Producer in Hollywood, and I could give you a linky-dink to what I am convinced is the other one in a porno (Nautical Shore about that, but some of the moles/blemishes are the same and if not her it is certainly her doppelganger!).

They were a lot of fun, and I would get Christmas cards from Goth-girl for several years until she stopped sending them.  I never sent her anything in return.  She was really cool, I keep meaning to drop her a note through the Social Media but never seem to get A Round Tuit.

I believe they were #2 & #3 lesbians for me, the first (think is anyway) is a now Jabba-the-Hutt-esque lady that lives in the neighborhood (or at least her mother does/did) haven't seen her in years.  Friend of a friend, used to come to Axis&Allies night at the local neighborhood pizza parlor.  I think she was being cruel to our mutual friend (who is now a "trans"-woman?  wtf?) who never got to Home Base with her...  That was High School and maybe the summer after?

#4 lesbian was a girl that lived in the house me and a bunch of friends rented near Westport, that is a crazy story.  Her girlfriend did not participate (didn't live in the house)

#5 Lived with me for a spell here at the PFDRp, I got a bit creeped out by her when she promised/threatened to handcuff me to a chair in the basement and bring over "some friends from the lesbian bar down the street"  -- The pate don't do bondage, nor butt-stuff!  She was deported shortly thereafter, although technically it was due to a rather klunky "love triangle" thing...

#6 was too young for me (I was 26-27??, she 19) and had a disgusting Jabba girlfriend, she was kindoff gross herself, but she came on awfully strong.  How could I say "no," this one ended poorly, and is why I now have a "lower limit" on how young a lady can be that I would date.  You have to be no more than 10 years younger than me:  at that time the rule was at least 18;  but as I aged I had to develop a new set...

#7 was an old friend from the neighborhood that I always believed was absolutely not into guys at all, she consoled me after she found out my #6 experience.  She was also older than me, which is a rarity.  Played Rugby, man what a dame!  She had some substance abuse issues, would frequently knock on my front door after the Lesbian Bar up the street closed for the night, which was fun if I didn't have to work the next day, but pissed me off one night when I did have to work (for the Army) the next morning.  I don't think she has spoken to me since I sent her away that 2-3am morning!

Now these are just the ones that I know for a fact are lesbians, there are several un-confirmed but suspected ones that were fun as well.

When I say "Lesbian" I mean "bi-sexual" of course, but that is probably because I am whatever wierd generation I belong to (not Boomer/not Millineal) and I refuse to be labeled as a "Gen X'er" because that was and is always a super-gay name.

I suppose that is TMI, but I am not ashamed of it.  I also enjoy straight women as well!



APogees on my promised Magic 8-ball answer to that earlier question, I had expected a day off when I fell asleep last night, and had intended to sleep in, but I got a frantic request to "come Fix my Shit" at roughly 9:30am and I am just now getting back from Pleasant Hill, MO (home of one of the NOAA weather stations...) and am enjoying a coffee break as I move plants up from the 1st floor to the Jungle room.

Hopefully, I will be done with that shortly as I have another potentially mildly retarded day that will require a 4am wake-up tomorrow.

Prosit!

Quote from: Roswells, Art on October 17, 2022, 01:03:50 PMWaaait a minute...has he been serious all these years?!

That is an excellent question, unfortunately in order to answer it I would have to perform a semi-acrobatic maneuver to get to my Magic 8-Ball on the sitting room mantle.  It is obstructed by some decidedly Falkie-esque disorder currently:  My stack of 9"x9" beams & associated boardstock which is resting behind all my mom's Boston Ferns and my tropical plants that I had to bring in for the surprise freeze tonight.  Another one of those days that begins with mild levels of retardation only to progress to FULL RETARD some 14 hours (give or take) later...

My best answer at this time is:  Nautical Shore?

If I were serious, I would lean towards a Catholic Ceremony so that, if necessary & for reasons, we could request that the Pope perform an Annulment due to Non-consummation.

I doubt you would sign the Prenuptial Agreement, although I feel slightly honor-bound to present one to you if requested...

After I move the Tropicals & my mom's Boston Ferns to the Jungle Room and the Attic/3rd Floor tomorrow I will be sure to consult the Magic 8-Ball and see what it says about your question, and report back.

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 16, 2022, 03:02:48 PMDear sir, under a strict reading the 144,000 (12,000 from each tribe of Israel) seem to function as a sort of gay Jewish choir.

QuoteThese are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.  -- Revelation 14

So, while I do not doubt your musical abilities -- whatever that song is must be fiendishly difficult -- and the mellifluous nature of your utterances is well-known to me, your warlike talents and robust animal spirits might find you somewhere nearer the head of the armies of heaven astride their white horses, arrayed in linen fine and pure.

I never was too sure about the Nicean Council's election to include the Book of Revelation as canon, most probably for that bit about un-defiled by women virgin warriors.

Isn't there some sort of way that I could re-virginify through Baptism?


Maybe I could do that right before I join the 144,000-strong Army of God?

Nautical Shore?

Quote from: Roswells, Art on October 16, 2022, 03:14:47 PMI'm not sure what you're asking here but if it's for advice I would avoid the animal rape job, but that's just me.

I believe you are being deliberately obtuse, but what disturbs me most is that you somehow associate bestiality with that particular job listing.

I am going to formally withdraw the Temporary Commander PFDRp proposal from the table, I wouldn't want you corrupting the Canine Armed Forces.

I do not judge:  your politics are your own, but the risk to the troops is not worth it.  I suppose, I was wrong about your likelihood of being suitable for that particular job.

Basically, I need someone to take local command of the PFRDp during my scholastic mission to Hawai'i for the Botany degree.  Keep the dogs fed, keep the house from burning down, maybe Fix Some Shit for a little extra bonus money (assuming you have skills), possibly manage the state owned company.

I figured you would like it as a break from whatever monotonous existence you currently enjoy:  there is a Lesbian Bar down the street (withing walking distance) that I figured you might enjoy, it seems popular.  I know my neighbor frequents the place, and she is literally a huge lesbian.

Anyhow, scratch that one.

In spite of your weird thoughts about sex with animals, I can still offer you the Executive Officer for the Hawai'i Botany Mission job (I suppose in the civilian world that would be something like CEO-Operations or something, a glorified Executive Assistant?) that is actually entirely superfluous.

I will probably be fine on my own, and if not I can fill the position from the local population.  But again, I figured you might enjoy the break from your personal hell:

Quote from: Roswells, Art on September 04, 2020, 03:18:25 PM...I am currently walking through hell...

I have even left the option for you to seek part-time employment if you get bored of being a beach bum. 

Probably, I would want you to keep the fridge stocked with food and beverage (I can prepare my own meals), maybe run interference if some island fat chick/gay dude (U of H are the "Rainbow Warriors" after all) wants a piece of the pate, scout the local drinking establishments, pick up some fresh local vanilla beans (which are actually orchids not legumes), & what-have-you.

I could do all that stuff on my own, but someone to help with the extra curricular activites would probably free me up to focus on getting the degree knocked out in the minimum amount of time.

If you played it correctly, you might be neatly ensconced within the Hawai'ian economy by the time I complete my mission and we part ways (hence the One-way trip rather than Round-trip option).

Honestly, I am surprised that your reading comprehension ability approaches Dr. MD MD-esque levels, which is why I think you are being deliberately obtuse (as I said at the beginning of this missive)!

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 16, 2022, 10:52:38 AMDear Kord Jesus please bless sir his mother and his aunts and keep them safe from harm Amen 🙏🏿

"Kord Jesus" is that the name theythe hobo elite use for their "Aborted Baby Jesus" incarnation of Him?

You know, the one that miraculously survived the post-Immaculate Conception pre-birth abortion.  I wonder if that qualifies as His first miracle?  I assume that the Immaculate Conception was God's doing.

I am a believer in the multi-verse aspect of Jesus, this is a new one for me.  I will add Him to the List that includes but is not limited to:  "Space Jesus," "Zombie Jesus," "Kung-Fu Jesus," "Black Jesus," "Time Traveling Jesus," "Mormon Jesus," and all the others.

I do not Judge your belief in "Kord Jesus," but that one is more twisted than "Zombie Jesus," In my lay open-onion...  As a question of Faith I shall not question your apparently questionable choice in that area, as we cannot truly know until we meet whatever form He takes in the afterlife.

I am hoping, personally, for the "Warrior Jesus" who is somewhat akin to "Kung-Fu Jesus" who comes back on a golden sky chariot and recruits the 144,000 elect that will go with Him to physically smite the evil ones in the world.

I envision old school Bronze Swords, Spears, Shields and Miraculous Bulletproof Armor of God all of a distinctly Late Republic Roman design that will allow us His Army to get really up close and personal with the smiting, dispatching, and elimination of unforgivable sinners from the face of the Everlasting World Without End.

Something akin to that one scene from A Clockwork Orange:


Only without me having to travel back in time to whip Him to the Crucifixion, of course I would do this if He commanded it of me, which would be weird and sort of make sense?

Also, that Clockwork Orange scene gets the uniform wrong, I imagine that Holy Purple/Violet would be the color rather than Greens/Reds/etc.., again I would wear whatever colors the Lord commands of course.  I digress, let me sum it all up with a:

I pray daily for the return of "Warrior Jesus" and that He will forgive me and ask me to join His ranks, because that would be kick-ass!

Hey Roz,

I have two proposals for you today.  Both are expected to begin the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 (Q2FY2024) and will run no later than the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 (NLT: Q2FY2027) these are directly related to the PFDRp Expeditionary Force Hawai'i mission planned for that time period.

----------

Executive Officer (CW5), Rear Detachment - PFDRp Expeditionary Force Hawai'i Command/Support BDE
    Standard/Non-Standard 3-year Contract, CW5 pay/grade with option to extend.
    Contract Performance Benchmark requirements
    Bonus Contract Performance Opportunities, tiered based on exceeding base contract benchmarks
        Applicable skill-sets (non-inclusive list):  Animal Husbandry/Training, Carpentry, Electrical, Masonry, Plumbing, Property Maintenance, Site Security, Turf & Plant Maintenance, &c.

----&----

Executive Officer (03), - PFDRp Expeditionary Force Hawai'i Advance/Main Body DET
    Standard/Non-Standard 3-year Contract, 03 pay/grade with option to extend.
    Assist Command in fufillment of mission goals
    Housing provided, One-way/Round-trip Travel from/to PFDRp/Hawai'i provided, non-exclusive contract (may seek local employment)
        Applicable skill-sets (non-inclusive list):  Field Intelligence, Human Resources, Information Technology, Logistics & Supply, Physical Fitness, Research (Field/Library/Online), Site Security, &c.

----------

The Rear Detachment brevet-Commander position is probably the more difficult of the two, hence the higher rank/grade associated with it.

My guess is you have a 4:1 probability of being suitable for either mission.

The Hawai'ian mission is not expected to take the full three years to complete, a longer time-frame is allowed "just-in-case."

Also, the Jan 2024 start-date is not locked in;  that is a 4:1 probable start time.



Should you be interested in either of these, I would be happy to provide more details.

Regards,

I once again get an opportunity to test out my "pureblood" natural immunity.

Last Sunday, my family celebrated my dad's 80th(?) birthday at a chinese restaurant (which reminds me that I have a post to make in the "Fortune Cookies I Have Disemboweled And Eaten" thread, if I can find the fortune from that evening), with a number of relatives present.

Including, my mother (naturally) and two aunts that came in from out of town:  they are now three confirmed "cases," I even visited my mother yesterday and she sounded a bit fluish.  I recall thinking to myself "I wonder if it's the CornHoleEbola-19.5?.." but didn't say anything because she is "FULLY CACCINATED" with boosters, and it is a bit of a sensitive subject.

So I just asked if she was feeling allright, and she said "It's my allergies," apparently last night there was a fever associated with her allergies so she took a test this morning, and doctor conference call etc.

I just spoke to her over the phone, and she is not on a ventilator or anything.  Got the Paxlovid snake-oil as a prescription, and all & all seems to be experiencing a bad flu/cold.

I assume that I was "exposed" on Sunday, and yet again yesterday and since everyone that has come down with it has presented symptoms over the past day or so, I think I once again have survived untouched.

I have no information on the Caccination status of my aunts, I suspect that they both have been.  But as usual am, Nautical Shore.

If you (dear reader) would keep my unfortunate fully caccinated mother & aunts in your prayers, I would appreciate it.  I think they will all be fine even if you don't, so no pressure or anything.

I did experience "mild retardation" (in the French sense) on my way to the worksites both yesterday and today.  Today did not develop (thankfully) into "FULL RETARDATION" by the end of the day like yesterday, when I had a 12-hour day (only nine today) although the mileage worked out to be the same.


That is all, Carrie Anne.

The Allies cannot afford to let the Nazis take and hold Karelia, it comes with a factory which lets you produce units right there on the front, instead of having to Trans-Siberian-Railway them around.

Granted, the British can do some S. Africa/India gambits, but that is costly and takes several years to have an effect on the European front, and usually just ends up drawing the Japs away from attacking Russia through their "soft underbelly."

You do need to keep an eye on Japan, however;  if their Pacific Fleet gets too large or they decide to build a Factory in either Kwangtung or Manchuria:  Russia is toast, even if they hold Karelia.

If you are on the Axis side:  it is virtually impossible to win this scenario without capturing Moscow.  I have seen an "Economic Victory" for the Axis Powers where Moscow remained in the Allied control, but one more turn would have put it into Japanese or German hands so it was sort of a "No Brainer" surrender on the part of Allies.

I hope everyone realizes that this conflict is a bit more complicated than a simple game of RISK (1800s warfare) involving not only Basic Infantry units but Armored units, Aircraft, Naval Units, Submarines, &tc?
