Is anyone else getting a strong whiff of Gen. Jack D. Ripper off Benjamin Netanyahu?
Meanwhile, we have a president who is less concerned for the American people than he is for his image in the history books that he doesn’t read.
It seems the Human Reliability Tests have failed us yet again.
Mad Blog Media 
Not sure how pure those essences are. Let’s just hope Col Bat Guano doesn’t have to shoot up too many CocaCola machines.
Let us my absolute favorite pieces of film. Actually got to see a restored print in a real theater. A friend of mine told me about when he saw it. He was at a SAC base with the alert crews in the back rows so they could run out to their jeeps, get to the flight line, and blow the world up. He saw the airmen in the theater were rolling in the aisles.
So, so good. In a class of its own.
Two old fools pissing on each others leg in stupid social media. Reminds me of “Idiocracy.” Perhaps we will start watering our crops with Screaming Freedom energy drinks?
“It seems the Human Reliability Tests have failed us yet again.”
Well, not exactly. Problem is, the tRumps and Netanyahoos don’t have to be in the HRP program. Shit, they don’t even have to be investigated for clearances. The bomber crews and some of us up in the bowels of the Bomb Factory have to jump through those hoops. So we have to pass the ‘shrink test every year, knowing we could be working for madmen.
A lot of other sci-fi has come to pass; only a matter of time before Dr. Strangelove does, too. I was down in Costco today watching a guy talk to somebody through his watch. I burst out laughing and he knew why–being about my age, we both thought of Get Smart and Dick Tracy. I think one of these days we will elect Jack D. Ripper for President, if we already didn’t do so. And his chief advisor, Wachmi Jagoff.
Don’t forget Jimmy Olsen’s watch, which he could use to contact Superman.
We could do with some Superman right about now. Frankly, I’d settle for Jimmy Olsen.
By the way, that’s a helluva Whole Paycheck you have down there. We dropped our friend off at the Sunport for his flight back east and had some time to kill before Costco opened at 10 a.m. so we did a quick stop at WF to mosey through the store, as we had not been to the Albuquerque WF since they moved into their new digs. Quite impressive!
Yeah, it’s pretty disco. I favored the one at Wyoming and Academy because I knew exactly where everything was and could be in and out in short order. Plus it was a less annoying drive.
But we quit doing business with the Foods Hole and the Amazone when Jeff Bozos started becoming an even bigger twat than he already was, shitting in the WaPo and whatnot. Now we divide our grocery bidness among Sprouts, Natural Grocers, Keller’s, and occasionally Albertson’s.
WF took a dive when Amazon bought it out. We noted up here that the choices were reduced and more stuff was generic. Was a let down. We go there when we have to, i.e., when we can’t find something at Montanita, Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Albertson’s or Trader Joe’s.
The two Trader Joe’s locations here are a pain to get to, so we don’t. We did use the one near ABQ Uptown when we were hoteling it and househunting. Easy walk from the room.
I really don’t have time for this post. I’ve been on hold for hours trying to order my MAGA InstaPot so I can cook beans down in my bunker where I hope to escape the nuke fallout. Any advice Khal? Other than to be sure to get the Lenox MAGA tableware to go with it? Can anyone spell Boy Cot?
Better make sure you haven’t ordered the MAGA Porta-Pot by mistake, Hoss. It’ll turn your bunker into a funker.
Just hope to be at Ground Zero. If we and the Russkis light it up with nukes, I don’t think I want to be around for the aftermath.
Just hope to be at Ground Zero. I don’t think I want to be around for the aftermath if we and the Russians light the fuse.
Sorry about the double post. The login nailed me again.
Favorite. Movie. Ever.
By the way, just to return to bicycling for a minute (bicycling???), I found this nice Park Tool web site on torque specs for all sorts of bike bits.
https://www.parktool.com/en-us/blog/repair-help/torque-specifications-and-concepts
And of course there is Sheldon Brown’s page.
I needed to find something about torque specs as I had to change out a chainring on an old Campy Chorus carbon CT crankset on the Six Thirteen. All the videos and shit on Youtube was for more recent stuff rather than the old design with a tightening bolt and where you have to use an extraction tool.
Oh, and has anyone been following the Giro? It occurred to me yesterday as I was putting the Cannondale back together that there was a big bike race ongoing.
I use Park’s how-to tips quite a lot. Calvin gives great video.
Alas, Giro is over, m’man. Suisse is going on, though.
