Speaking of poetry, DID YOU KNOW that The Poetry Foundation encourages submissions for their magazine _Poetry_ from anybody, not just "poets"! They get 150,000/year, and they say they have a staff that reviews each one. Nice! It's more proactive than tying your manuscript to a tumbleweed, at least ONE PERSON will read it!! https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/submit
So obvious by their reaction to Jasmine's statement that they know in their hearts they are mediocre .... at best. Otherwise why would they be insulted?
And maybe this year, for the first time in my life, I will join the ranks of people like TFG and lie my ass off on my tax filings to pocket a few thousand bucks. It's not like this assministration will fund the IRS to go after economically comfortable tax cheats.
I don’t even know HOW to lie on my taxes. Like, I don’t own anything, and I don’t make any money, and the standard deduction is probably more than I’ve spent in whatever you can deduct (sales tax? giving my broke friends money doesn’t count as “charity” and my car depreciated to negative numbers years ago). I could invent a spouse and nine dependent children?
Yeah, I wouldn't really know how to cheat either. I'm retired and don't have anywhere near enough deductions to itemize so I suppose the only route would be to claim Snow White and the seven dwarfs as dependents.
"Auto-blow" is good coinage! In the magnificent passage of organic language time, soon it will be "autoblow." And if you don't think Rebecca's new term has not many usages, just look up the definition of "blow." Think cocaine. Think coffee table. Think sneeze.
HuffPost: Federal Officers Are Blocking Entrance To Department Of Education Building
"Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fl.) posted a video Friday that appears to show federal officers blocking the entrance to the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C. Video Frost took shows officers inside the building, denying access to representatives outside.
“And right here they have armed officers acting like we’re dangerous,” he said. “A year ago, I’d be able to walk into this building and not be locked out. This is what they’re doing. Elon is allowed in, but not you, not your elected representatives. Not parents, not students. Elon, he can go in. His goons can go in, but not the representatives of the people.”"
I don't know how someone misspelled "dog" ironically and the world had to respond by also mispronouncing it like "doje" when it's so obviously "doggie"!
TGIF, rhino needs a weekend. It’s your hed gif source info link: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/the-rhino-slide
And meme chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/74b91424-502d-4f4c-be9c-014eb4483628?utm_source=share
Did she fall? Or was she pushed?
Martini some brain fog bot attached itself to my comment and needs to be squashed as if it's a tiny bug under a gracefully rolling rhino!!
I freaking love rhinos and will hang out watching the rhinos just stand around at the zoo. Best thing I ever heard about rhinos
Dumbass Dad (DD) Look at the winos!! The winos!!!!
Smart Daughter (SD, about ten but already knows the deal with her dad) No, they are Rhinos, one of the coolest and most majestic animals around.
DD No they are winos!! Winos!! Get it?!?!?
(One rhino chooses this moment to poop out a giant pile of poop)
DD Ha!! Did you see that!!! Winos!!!!
SD Rhinos are still cool and majestic and smart. She knew how to respond to you dad.
DD ummmmm.......
“I meant to do that”
How in the hell will that rhino get back up? What if it can't and needs human intervention. How do you help it?
What if you’re Leon, a replicant, and you don’t give a shit?
Rhino slip slidin' away. Who knew they were body surfers?
Look like me trying to get the trash can out to the curb in the snow yesterday. Muddier though.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!
The Rhino Slide sounds like a 60's dance craze.
🎶C'mon baby let's have some fun
Get up on yer feet and take a run
Drink Martini Smashes and when yer done
We all fall down and show our buns
Slip down the slope and take a ride
Everybody's doin' The Rhino Slide.🎶
The Pretenders had a B side tune, back in the 80s
"Remember the nights I cried
you were doing that old Cuban slide
All night I tried and tried
I could not master the Cuban side..."
Double entendre?
Something about the Dirty Sanchez, maybe?
It's a real style of salsa dance.
https://youtu.be/VrS1lXlejkk?si=M3ej1E56NPmO_m8X
I was thinking of Dirty Sanchez I heard Howard Stern refer back in the 90s. I need light shed on this. I am confused.
It's got a good beat and I can dance to it, 10/10.
"That was the Rhinettes, everybody."
That reminds me of something
/rummages through interwebs
Here it is!

I thought this was McConnell on the Capitol stairs.
I was just talking about that...

You win.
Poor Buddy just froze, all upended!
"I *TOLD* you not to run at the pool, Sidney"!
Day drinking rhinos... They're my spirit animal now!
Rhinoplastered?
Isn't that when you get stupid drunk and wake up with a new nose?
Drunk plastic surgery is worse than drunk tattoos.
Win..❤️
"Drunk as a rhinoceros" too many syllables
Rhinoplastered...𝘙𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, much better!
Q: What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino?
A: Elephino!
Tim Walz, that you?
:)
I remember the Unknown Comic telling that joke on The Gong Show back in the day.
Fun fact: There is so much debris in my car that I suddenly become The Unknown Comic on a regular basis, from stuff blowing up out of the back. A little dangerous for driving, but it's an ongoing routine by now.
I just hope that hippo's hide did not sustain any boo-boos in that nonetheless graceful glide.
Rhino, so he's fine. Those beasts are strong enough to body-check a tank out of the way.
They have a sturdy hide.
I once handled a thing called a 𝘴𝘫𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘬, essentially a whip made from rhino hide. Formidable thing, frought with cruelty
I have a couple of proper whips but I have never handled anything like THAT.
Truth to be told I'm not sure that I want to.
"Flesh aggressive" is a phrase that I first heard in super glue instructions.
It works for those things too
Funny how saying mediocre men sets so many off. Are there that many of them? Fortunately, the men I know are far from mediocre.
DODGY
Doge* is not dowzh. Nor a dog.**
DOGE is dodgy. Illegitimate. Deceitful. Untrustworthy.
Doge is not efficient, it is the blast of toddler anger at his inability to manipulate the blocks so the building doesn’t fall.
Doge is not artful, as in Dickens. It is simply penultimate rage.
Doge is the primary school student hitting his classmate because they call him names.
Doge is Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Cartoonish.
It is the teenager bringing in the muffler ripped off his car denying he knows how it happened.
Doge is malicious.
It is the man planning vengeance on the woman who turned down his request for a date.
Doge is destructive without understanding, or caring, the consequences of their actions on 351 million other people in America.
Doge is obstructing the proper working of a several-hundred-year-old edifice that has not granted the rewards, and deference, that two men believe they are owed.
Trump, Musk and Doge are DODGY. Spreading lies and deceits to enrich and protect only Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
They are causing irreparable harm without reason. Simply because they can and no one has stopped them.
Yet.
Call the whole scam what it is DODGY.

At least that Rhino wasn't carrying a glass container. How do Rhinos carry anything? Ask Freddy the Pig.
I used to own a bunch of LPs from Rhino Records.

Not federal officers, it's private security. Take your pick on which would be the scarier of the two.
How did we end up with a president who has never seen so many things?
All hail our Queen of you! (Or, rather Queens.)
Wake up with Tab's and Coffee in the morning ☕💯👍
Yea! Doggie is trending!
I've been posting that using the Italian Duke pronunciations is stupid for DOGE.
DOGE = DOGGIE
Right on!
I don't know how someone misspelled "dog" ironically and the world had to respond by also mispronouncing it like "doje" when it's so obviously "doggie"!
Alison Arngrim (Nellue Oleson) is also a staunch advocate for the LGBTQ+ Community. 🤟
SER did a great article about her the other day that actually brought me to tears.
