I just felt like doing this for fun while on a loooong conference call. Consider it an open thread for anyone who wants to vent or discuss the, as a certain Senator refers to it, "the events of 8/8." Or just take it as a sign that I'm padding my stack activity with low-effort content and cancel your subscription while you can. :)
As a retired LEO, who’s participated in both RAIDS and WARRANT SERVICE, I can attest that Mondays stunt was most definitely a RAID. But then they also redefined “vaccine” and millions of sheep still believe that new meaning, so...
Originally a mounted attack according to my etymology dictionary.
The vikings depicted are clearly not raiding, they are performing a mostly peacful protest against the christian cultural colonialism as practiced by the monks. Support VLM - Viking Lives Matter!
In other pews, mews, news, I have spent the day on top of a 8 meter ladder holding a 3 meter rod with a paintbrush on the end, painting the south side of the house (last chance before the wet season) and enjoyed fun in the sun with horseflies, wasps, various bloodsuckers and so on investing my facial nooks and crannies.
On the other hand, the wife made pyttipanna and we're having home-made bilberry sherbet for afters, and a g&t n the porch (which is due to mr Gardner bringing g&t:s up in a thread somewhere the other day). Internet tells me the closest british and US foods are (the awesomely named!) "Bubble and squeak" and "Potatoes O'Brien" respectively.
And - may wonders never cease! - the wife got her tax returns! Equal to a full month's pay!
The son, who's a chef, calls my cooking "fascist food". Not because I've ever forced him or anyone eat it (they don't wan't it, more for me and I like my cooking), but because everything I cook is brown when it's done.
Here's a funny little thing about re-naming foodstuff and edibels:
There's coffee-break snack called "chocolate balls" nowadays. Finely ground coffee, dark cocoa powder, butter/margarine, oat flakes, and coconut shaving on the outside. Easy to make at home too. But the old name, well, I can almost get behind changing it some 25 years ago...
Negroballs. (Negerbollar in swedish.)
Yes. Really. Negroballs.
It was completely innocently named originally, since it dates back to 1918 or earlier, and the "negro"-part refers to the dark cocoa, not humans. Back then, virtually no swedes had seen a black human in real life, only in drawings or pictures, so there were no ill feelings towards them at all, quite the opposite.
Cue the modern day and age and people thinking calling a spade a mechanical implement for manual manipulation if geography means it's not used for shovelling dirt... oh bother.
And this ties back to hash, since those chocolate balls go very well together with the mucnhies, or so I'm told.
Personally I feel much safer knowing that the Russian Spy trump with strange urination habits, that should have been impeached for trying to extort the poor government of Ukraine, must have evidence of a crime. Yes I know we could not find any evidence of his certain criminality in all 8 of his attorneys homes that we RAIDED at 4am in front of cameras from CNN, but this time it's different.
Gotta love this post! I’m sharing with my conservative friends/family, it will make me feel better. All the libs and progressives are smug and condescending today. Fuck them.
Oh, it doesn't read as smug to me, it reads as desperate and very nervous.
Petty nonsense like this highlights that to me- not talking about what a terrible move it is, but quibbling over semantics? That's the arguing position of someone who knows they're on the back foot.
To be read aloud in Simpson's Comic Book guy voice: "That is a computer graphics card, not a redundant array of computer disks. If you disagree, I will sell you my first edition Steve Allen Pog for $1 million."
At the jail in Mazatlan in the seventies, every morning everybody had to go out to the yard while the guards came in the sleeping areas to tap the floor sounding for tunnels and searching for drugs. At a longer, surprise interval, a large group of police would suddenly conduct a more thorough search, and sometimes one of the dealers inside would be arrested and interrogated, encouraged to talk by perhaps having his head submerged in a toilet bowl. So you might conclude they were pretty serious about finding drugs. Actually though, after a while I found out that these more extensive searches were when the drugs were DELIVERED. The police were only searching for any upstart independent dealers who didn’t have a proper “franchise.”
Sounds like our old customs agents, back when we had limits to the amount alcohol you could take across the border as a private citizen. They'd confiscate surplus, of course. They were supposed to empty those out in a sink in front of you, but if you didn't insist on seeing that done, they'd waive the fine...

LOL
One of your finer posts, Gutter! Especially appreciate the RAID card. ;)
>> One of your finer posts, Gutter!
You know how to deeply wound someone.
I appreciate that.
That came out wrong! 😂

my door opens outwards, its gonna be fun listening to the pigs trying to get in, they better bring an axe!
when will they change the meaning of the word definition?
Ever seen a demonstration of a 'breaching charge'? They no longer need a door.
i dont think our local police would qualify for such brute force.. yet

I love making bubble and squeak. I've never heard of the allegedly US name.
It's Wikipedia, so it must be true and factchecked I can't keep a straight face to save my life even when typing.
Maybe hash is closer? But that's what we call pot over here, and saying "We had pot for supper" makes people give you funny looks...
Well, calling it "hash" without an adjective has similar implications. 😊
Okay, ehm uhm er... "hash of colour"?

Thanks. I think I feel better……. 😀
I sure hope you're right!
I’m waiting for the definition change.

I used to be in a lot of raids back in my World of Warcraft days.
Ahhh, Lindisfarne

Oh my god I had no idea what is a Viking
