Back in the day I had Pamela Anderson serve me breakfast more than once and I still have my kidneys.

Ive drank with Pauley Perette. The alcohol was the only threat to my kidneys.
Id be more afraid of organ harvesting from Andrea Dworkin telling me my ideas are "interesting" than from Natalie Portman asking me for coffee.
Did you just link to a neo-nazi site? Such a nice fellow you are.
(link in sidebar: "What the world rejected: Hitler's peace offers, 1933-19140". Yeah sure.)
As much as I think immigration should be controlled, the kind of protests as we see in Heesch or Geldermalsen are completely unacceptable. I hope the police used their truncheons to good effect.
This book was the foremost Hitler myth-buster of its day, and is full of personal and political insights.
Read, for example, about the handicapped child who was amazed to find the Reichschancellor personally deliver his Christmas present; how Hitler always refused to take his salary and instead ordered the state treasury to divert it to poor relief work, and of the massive social reforms which boosted German living standards to the best in Europe.

The only way an Andrea Dworkin look-alike could proposition you in an elevator is if it was a service elevator.
Any other one would automatically become an out-of-service elevator.

Me and Caruthers, devotees of the Iron Pill (?) mythology. Didn't really notice that, just that there were on-going protests. Which your "immigration should be controlled" suggests might have some justification.

Not sure that you, among others here and elsewhere, really realize to what extent Islam is fundamentally antithetical to the principles of democracy and human rights. Facts which are becoming more and more evident to more and more people. But when the powers-that-be refuse to address those facts then we/they shouldn't be surprised when the less savoury types make political hay out of them.

I thought we were supposed to be the True Sceptics, defenders of truth in the face of ideological bias? Not the baddies who link anything because it confirms their biases,without considering if it is truthful or not. Any site that describes migrants as the 'nonwhite invader' surely deserves another search for more balanced reporting?

We are. He isn't. He is just the racist goof that hangs out here because we have a liberal banning policy.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt over the nigger/cunt fiasco. Mainly because I never read anything he wrote about, my eyes glazed over whenever his wall of text posts appeared. Eventually I put him on ignore to save my arthritic fingers from all that scrolling.
But I have to say Steers, some of the shit you are posting on twitter has no other interpretation other than you're a bigoted twat.
Every three-four weeks. I have lately fallen into this habit of sleeping in. I can do this because I am retired.
Anyway, in my part of the world, putting out the garbage more than a couple of hours before the garbage truck shows up will usually result in a raid by the local wildlife upon said bounty.
We would just burn our trash. If I every move back to the country I think I will start that again along with composting.
I had to google that name and still don't know what you are eluding to.
When I was a child we lived in the country (not very far from town at all) and trash pick up was only once every two weeks. So my parents and grand parents and it seems most people around me burned their trash.
“I can certainly relate with other familes who kind of feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with,” Palin continued.
Sarah Palin is claiming that PTSD from his year spent in the army in Afghanistan played a role in the issues her son is now having. People on the left are already pointing out that he probably didn't actually see combat.
Please be on the look out for the usual suspects attacking them using that line of logic and let's keep in mind that Melody was heavily defended.
My position is that both Palin's kid and Melody can have PTSD. My issue is once they and others know that, how they act from that point. Melody shouldn't be trying to be a public figure and Track(stupid fucking name) shouldn't have guns.

Dumb joke. He was the subject of Making a Murderer, which I assumed everyone had seen by now. He was accused of killing a woman and disposing of her body in a big trash fire.

I tried watching it but I didn't like the style. And it would be compost. I said I wanted to compost too.

Where I live, according to one of my neighbours, he was burning trash in a barrel with a garden hose nearby and he still got yelled at.

A short story I was inspired to write.
Scroll over if you wish, but,Hopefully, you'll enjoy it.
Typos and grammar errors probably abound.
As luck would have it, we received the call just as our lunch was placed in front of us. A sigh of resignation escaped before I asked the perky blonde behind the counter to wrap the stuff to go.
The drive took ten minutes through busy city traffic, more than enough time to gom down my bacon cheeseburger and add the wrappings to the growing landfill on the back seat.
The uniforms were finishing taping up the area as we pulled up.
" Another one?" my partner asked, more out of a desire to fill the silence than a need for an answer.
I wanted to come up with a witty retort, or perhaps something profound, all I came up with was a simple "Yup".
One of the patrolman lifted the crime scene tape and directed us to the supervisor-on-the-scene.
" Detectives, got us a ripe one."
The body was laying on right side, legs partially splayed, right arm under the head, left crooked up against the chest, hand curled into a knarled hook. The shabby ill fitting clothing, face obscured by long matted hair. The remnants of a long grown out dye job crowning the knotted mess. I took note of the shoes, worn out and of a style that was odd to say the least. The corpse stank of rot, shit and abject failure.
" the Vic's been out here for days, maybe longer, people just walking by like it was invisible. No one paid it any attention. One of our passing patrols spotted it and called it in.".
We've had quite a few of these lately, the ignored,the abandoned, left to their fate, the people responsible should at least get a ticket for littering the street.
The field examiner piped in now,
" you can see the obvious neglect, the wasting away".
I motioned towards s/h/it,
" cause of death"?
" definitely exposure"
My partner was crouched and checking the Vic's pockets.
" Check this out"
He handed me what appeared to be a fistful of flattened cat turds , the dry rotted remains of leather thong cling to some of them. Each was impressed with simplistic sloganeering :
" science is cool!"
"Evolve" with some kind of crude dog holding a bone or maybe a wrench, I couldn't tell.
" feminism"
" good without God"
The one that caught my eye was inscribed with a large "A" with a + along side. It seemed familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
" What the fuck is this?" I handed the cat turd to the field examiner.
A quizzical look crossed the examiners face,
" Looks like a special needs students art project."
"I should've led with that one" I mused, by this time my partner had fished the Vic's wallet out of s/h/it's jacket.
" a Velcro wallet...? Really? What was the Vic twelve?...any hoo..."
The Velcro was spent and made hardly a sound as I opened the flap, the wallet was old it had stains all over the nylon, even through the latex gloves I knew I was going to have to soak my hands in Purell before I would eat again.
My eyes fell upon the the ID window, even though the window cloudy with filth I couldn't miss the name...so,that's what's become of it.
" I'll be damned,... It's Atheism plus"
My partners eye's widened as " holy shit..." escaped from him.
The young cop next to me asked" What the hell is Atheism plus? Sounds like a laundry detergent."
" You think this is funny? you snot-nosed..."
" Tony"! I cut him off, " he's a kid, he doesn't know."
I eyed the young officer and went on,
" it was before your time kid", I pointed at the pathetic wasted figure," this was supposed to be a big thing. Almost tore the atheist/ skeptic movement apart."
"It did enough damage, good riddance". Tony interjected and spat on the sidewalk.
"C'mon Tone, it's not it's fault, it was created without any forethought, any concern for consequences. It never had a chance."
"I guess you need to understand the time to get the full picture. Around the early 2000's there was a groundswell in interest in the Atheist/Skeptic movement, TV shows like Mythbusters and Penn&Tellers Bullshit! Came on the air and did well. Books about Atheism became best sellers. It was a pretty good time.
There was even some optimistic thought that the movement might have some wider influence. It all seemed like a big happy party, then it all went to shit.
Ego, greed, pride.
Turned out a lot of the folks spouting skepticism were no better than the film flam scammers they were trying to discredit.
See, it's all fun and games forcing other folks sacred cows, but when your own start lining up at the slaughterhouse, shit starts getting real.
This poor wretch was one of the first products of that civil war".
The young cop looked at me with an expression that said" When's this old fool going to shut up".
He shifted his weight from side to side and mumbled something about having to go check the cordon.
The wallet only contained some faded tear stained photos and a list of names.
Looking back at the broken body on the pavement, I felt my blood begin to boil. This thing should never have seen the light of day, They birthed it, set it loose and when it became inconvenient, abandoned it.
All that suffering, all that pain, someone was going to pay and I had the hot sheet on the suspects.
"T, let's get back to the station, we got some assholes to round up and question".

No we don't get forest fires, just yankees burning shit up.
Should we take bets on how many people will announce they were raped for this party?
I am going to place my wager at 1. Good safe bet since Elyse will be there, and I think attendance will be equally small if not smaller. But there are always suckers who will still bite.

Not bad. Grew up with a diet of Spike Milligan and Raymond Chandler? :-)
But I notice that the Pit is close to lapping A+ for a third time: 330,000 versus about 115,000.

Well, thanks for that, although one might ask whether you actually ever read any of that paper on linguistics that Skep tickle helpfully provided [ ;-) ] which gave some justification for my position.

Any specifics? Anything to do with that tweet you liked that was part of the "conversation" I was having with Melby & "boodleoops" on the topic of gender? But, assuming that it is likely due to various comments on Muslim immigration, you might like this latest from Quillette [editor: Claire Lehmann]: Springtime for Demagogues
As for your earlier "nonwhite invader", as mentioned or suggested, I was less concerned with who was describing the events than with the events themselves - surely the more important point, provided, of course, that there isn't a massive amount of bias and twisting of the events in question. Apropos of which, see "Springtime".

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, although it might be construed as one of the proverbial "left-handed compliments". :-)
However, I think it is less a question of being a "contrarian troll", than of the view that "conventional wisdom" is something that is a lot more common and prevalent - and problematic - than we might like: everybody but me and thee, and I have doubts about ... me. I think that lots of us, many if not all of us - including various sciences according to Dennett, make all sorts of assumptions such that we might be wise to put much less weight on our arguments than we do.
This is so ridiculous. Anita has a scientific inspection of butt coverings in video games. She is obsessed, all that research she has done by playing video games has pushed her over the edge. Maybe gaming can cause serious brain damage?

Thank you for the kind critique..( respectfully bows and doffs cap)
Oh you were serious.
Better than what I can right. I like it.
Thank you as well!( bow and doff)
The sandman gif had me wiki-ing the old ECW.
I was lucky enough to take in a show at the local armory. Worth every penny.
Those folks put on quite a show, made the crowd a part of it.
The Dudleys had Tommy Dreamers head/shoulder/arm through the opening in a folding chair and were throwing him around the crowd.( chairs went flying everywhere!
Like any good mother, Elyse is clearly making sure that her meager resources are going to her children, even as she struggles to pay for several dozen rape kits and to get by without support from a non-custodial partner who was accused of domestic violence against her. Women don't lie about rape or domestic violence, so these were clearly very serious situations.
I just hope that the AirBNB users she tries to contract with can overlook the 2015 incident that resulted in the owner's blankets being bathed in ass blood and shit.

Sounds like someone is feeling a bit guilty about engaging in stare butt rape.

AS's relentless repetition of her facile point was brain numbing. I kept waiting in vain for a second string to be plucked.
So games that rely on generalised instant feedback impulses fall back to some degree on female sexuality and male testosterone.
I guess there may be an economic assumption that the gamer demographic would not, in general, respond in a commercially positive way to a reversal of metaphor.

The kind of pussy who came this close >.< to jumping onto a mama bear when she startled me. Said mama bear subsequently backed up and ran away bawling because she was convinced I was going to hurt her.
Anyway, last year, this fire was quite close to where I live. Which is basically a suburb plopped down in the middle of the wilderness. I live literally a five minute walk from an old growth forest.
[youtube]dilbdrq4RIs[/youtube]
This was apparently taken from a pub which I have eaten at on a couple of occasions.
Bottom line is this:
Folks around here take a very dim view to burning any kind of fire unless it is in a wood stove. Count on having an up close and personal encounter from your neighbors if you do otherwise.
