I thought she read her news items last night with a noticeably renewed pluck and verve.  Maybe now that she has gotten through the quits and put those embarrassing photos behind her (so to speak) she is truly ready to take back the night from whomever has it now.

She has her ass-kicking boots ready to step in things and her big-girl pants ready to make some patootie, as long as she goes easy on the bathtub hooch.  Cholo got her Sizzel back and the long night has just begun!

Do you think we should be scared?

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

They never had all these fancy moons when I was a kid.  I'm glad to see it has been upgraded to keep pace with technology.

I would like to thank all those who, in their infinite wisdom, advised Heather to Stop Copying Art, to Make The Show Her Own, and to Talk about the things that interest Her, for the pure, unadulterated Wade I am about to hear.

Does he do a podcast or some kind of audio show? Where is it? TIA.

He does.  It has its own thread under Podcasts where you will find the links he provided, though I don't know if anything's still there.

I thought out of all the posters here, you might enjoy this the most... The worst part is that it sounds like although the kid was upset to cut his hair to join the cadets. But then he accepted it, got it cut, and moved on. But the parents are setting a fine example of how to bitch and moan the loudest... I started by thinking it was the kid that was acting like a little bitch- but then I re-read the article and realized that it is probably just his mother...

“He didn’t want to cut his hair. His hair has been a part of who he is for quite some time,” (his mother) said.

“He couldn’t even look in the mirror once it was done. Every time [the hair stylist] turned the chair around to the mirror, he would close his eyes,” (his mother) said. “He just said ‘Thank you’ and left. He was pretty upset.”

Now the family is hoping to see the rules changed for all cadets...

“I’m hoping for more gender equality because that is really what this is about,” (his mother) said.

It sounds like he is probably lucky to have joined the cadets who might be able to counter some of (his mothers) stupidity and teach him that sometimes not everything will go your way.

You will not be surprised to learn that I disagree.  I was hoping the Canucks could provide some enlightened rationale for this blunt-force effort at maintaining one of the oldest and most exploited gender norms out there (boys have short hair, girls have long hair), but I read:

Quote“[The policy] is designed to give us a standard of excellence that everyone can be proud of and be measured against. That allows cadets to have a feeling of belonging because they are considered over the same standard,” Henderson said.

Which is pure and utter horseshit.  What does it even mean?  And anyone who can sit back and nod sagely at it is likewise full of it.  All it would take to change the policy is for a similar picture of a long-haired Native kid forced under the clippers to get out.

brig, what was that? Sounded like Chefist broke in there for a second, lol.

I'm sorry I missed it, but delighted to learn that Martinez Tonight is on the case!

This folderol better have a musky bottom at the end of it.

So the open lines topic is what device are you listening on and how does it sound?  I'd prefer back surgery stories, honestly.

K_Dubb and those NW trendy hipster chef types would likely have some weird concoction of an Asian-Russian fusion bent with "ducks in a roe." Likely not kosher but likely tasty.

Tortuous pun of the night!

Well that still leaves over 7,200+ pages of 360 degree, mental illness over there.  I would hope that would be enough!?!

Hahaha so help me it is.  I was testing the theory whereby you can turn a Sherman tank by repeatedly tossing pebbles under the same track.  You can but, once you run out of pebbles, it just lumbers on in the previous direction.

I think your work on the Thanksgiving Dinner was the apex of your Ellgabness.  Like Buzz Aldrin, once you have walked on the moon - what else do you do?

Haha thank you!  There are still people sore over the hundred-or-so pages devoted to it.  The brief foray into floor buffing here a few weeks ago doesn't even come close to an adequate revenge.

Quote from: brig on July 29, 2019, 09:31:31 PM
That reminded me of the burnt duck dinner...

You must have missed our extensive analysis on ellgab (which, I have to say, is a lot keener on cooking and baking than you guys are) where we (ok it was me, mostly) identified a recipe based on her description that would produce a duck that looked like that -- it is meant to yield a crispy skin for people who like that sort of thing.  I think it was probably pretty good, but opinions varied widely.

I've been meaning to try to replicate it as an immersion experiment inspired by Walks's efforts in that direction but, when you can get a whole bbq duck out of a window in Chinatown for twelve bucks, I succumb to sloth every time the craving for overcooked waterfowl hits.

Quote from: brig on July 29, 2019, 09:14:08 PM
I hadn't even thought of that.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Put out some refreshments, and iced tea cuz it's hot...

In case she's reading on her big screen I recommend these, which you can get from amazon.



It is a kit for making the Dutch version of a Napoleon, keeps forever in the cupboard, just add water.  My mom keeps them in case the ladies drop in and there is nothing fresh -- a real lifesaver.

There is also boxed lefse you can rehydrate by running under the tap in similar circumstances but flatbread has yet to catch on as a dessert item here.

She just said she might have company arriving while she's doing open lines tonight.  So sounds official...

So she's planning for the welfare checks now.  Good thinking!

In the words of Philip Melanchtho:"aluimus in sinu serpentem"

Nice quote!

I still don't buy it but it's fun looking for evidence, which I assume was MV's point in picking it.

Quote from: brig on July 29, 2019, 08:28:48 PM
It certainly does seem that way, doesn't it?

Following the invitation of upper right to check out what prompted that resolution you find this post which seems to have started it all:

So within a few months of joining bellgab she was already being accused of being a plant.

Whatever happened to JBW and his show? Went behind a strict paywall? Failed? I recall he was sometime fun in the beginning because he sounded like he was hosting the show in an abandoned gas station. Weird echos, doors that would slam in wind, a possible payphone ringing in the distance, and sound of tractor-trailers driving by. I think he also married that SA lady who talks about the "problematic" situation there? He was good on C2C, for the most part, and had a voice for radio, actually sometimes too much bass for bad ear-buds. But then he took his own show, some controversy, got preachy, and then sort of disappeared (at least from commenters here and such?)

I think he turned the frequency down so low on whatever garbage enhancement he was using that nobody could hear him any more.

You've be trolling it up here as of late.   I like it.......................

Well I tried get a big row going over Athabascan migrations but no takers.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to dredge up Heather's first-ever post on the forum again, for those of you who savor this kind of thing:

Quote from: Heather Wade on July 27, 2013, 12:55:12 AM
This guy reminds me of that person at a party who tries too hard to make you like them.  Do they only take callers who kiss ass, these days?  All the callers so far have brown noses.

I can't wait till Art comes back and shows this Wells guy how it's done.

Lipstick tips with Erinn.

Goodness, she could give Cholo Sizzel a run for her money!

Well I'm certainly glad it was memorable for you.

You are a good sport, Decon.  I like that.

Quote from: starrmtn001 on July 29, 2019, 03:17:45 AM
Relax, K_Dubb.  There is nothing to get yourself worked up over on this.

I was stressing and perplexed about why I was being attacked for no legitimate reason.  Then I realized the more I reacted to being slandered and vilified, the more I was falling into the "trap" of defending myself, when it really wasn't necessary.  In other words, I was falling for a scam and showing myself to be foolish for falling for it. 

But what what was done is done, and Karma will do what it does.  Such is the great theater of life.

Popcorn anyone?

You are lucky to have such a formidable and persistent nemesis, dear.  Mine comes out spitting fire for a few rounds but then slinks back to his kennel and sulks eating filthy muffins off the floor, and I miss him terribly.

I believe the winning quip, which I take no credit for partly because I think I remember it and partly because it is so awful, was that she was the only woman who has ever managed to be too old and too Jung at the same time.

It's complicated. 

I have no deets to PM other than the incident is buried deep in the bowels of this site somewhere and the side boob most likely is gone as the attachments have taken a hit more than once here.

A full-color glossy reproduction is available at the exclusive Patreon level: Sideboob, however.

Oh yeah.  Once the cat aliens tail was liberated from the Jordache jeans there were so many options on where to go with it but the best he could do was getting face slashed with a shitty tail.   

The box spring and the photos were awesome.  Wonderful guest.

Oh yeah I'd totally listen to him again!

Quote from: username on July 28, 2019, 04:19:51 PM
I don't think you understood what I meant haha. I like to occasionally allow past guests co-host the show. That's basically what I'll be doing next Saturday with E.A. Koetting.

There won't be a permanent co-host, I honestly don't need one but I like being nice to the guest's especially if they want to talk to someone else that I can align them with. Yes, the dead useless weight is certainly gone.

Oh whew yes I can see how that would work well.

Quote from: Walks_At_Night on July 28, 2019, 03:59:58 PM
Catching up with last night's show - damn.  I hate I missed it live [doomed to live on the east coast  ], I would have had a ball in the chat with the last guest.

I am at about 3:05:00 - where the cat lady, alien drawing with the camel toe shows up.   I am riveted.   Is our good old boy from Texas going to par take of the forbidden fruit?

I will not ruin it for you but only observe that this glimpse into someone else's erotic imagination, with his wife flitting in and out of the room, was probably the least-sexy sexy story I've ever heard, and the drawings only made it worse.  His photographs showing the butch one waving from a spacecraft look like a cheese pizza in chiaroscuro.

My favorite part was how the aliens came all the way from Alpha Centauri to learn the secrets of his ten-dollar laser pointer but were defeated by his boxspring.
