I mean, I’m pretty sure that I invented putting Special K on ice cream (with cinnamon! it tastes like fried ice cream!)

Weirdly enough, it tasted like fried ice cream because that's how they *did* "fried" ice cream -- rolled in crushed cereal (usually Special K) to make it look fried.
I know it is weird that the peace prize winner surrendered her medallion to a toddler and I am not saying she did the right thing.
But perhaps we should remember that there is an extensive wikipedia piece detailing how OJ Simpson once did very bad things to "recover sports memorabilia" that he claimed had been stolen from him.
Who amongst us can say we wouldn't do the same thing as Machado if there was an even more dangerous person running around out there making noise about how the medal was really his and he was already murdering fishermen in the Caribbean Sea?
"Young aspiring inventor Milo Weatherby -- who wants to be the next Thomas Edison -- has doggedly worked on his latest device, a kind of "reverse microwave." But things don't seem to be working as well as he'd like... until he realizes that his reverse microwave is actually a time machine.

Yesterday I was asked what it was like being retired.
I replied that I now live The Al Bundy Lifestyle.
Do not disturb me while I sleep for 8 hours. Then when I get up I have 2 cups of good coffee. After that it is time for me to be the King Of England and do The Speech From The Throne.
Those three things happen and I don't care what happens the rest of the day.
Her end was tragic. Had a nasty fall in her apartment at 83 and was promptly devoured by the 278 stray cats that she cared for. It was a 600 square foot apartment. They were all indoor-only cats. One cat box. But they were loved, and that is what is important.
I watched the cat massage video and now all I want to do is to start my own podcast. I would use the time to critique/sneer at the various problems found at my local museum-industrial complex institutions while failing to offer any concrete suggestions about how to fix / improve anything.
Any time spent on such a podcast would necessarily cut into my time spent reading the only mommy blog that TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!
Ignoring the mommy blog to whine about the plexiglas vitrines at the art museum needing a more robust schedule of cleaning to remove finger, hand and nose prints left all over the damn things so I cannot even see the art inside is out of the question.
And that is how I tamp down any sudden urges to start such a podcast.
The missed opportunity of my 40s was making the instructional video me and my bar pal Chris plotted out (yes, bar behavior was involved): "How to Teach Your Cat to Make a Martini." We were going to charge 19.99 for this, shipping and handling included, sorry no refunds. We realized around the 3rd drink (me) or maybe the 5th (him) that the cat didn't actually HAVE to make the martini, it just had to LOOK like the cat had made the martini.
Our biggest dilemmas were (a) how a small animal with non-opposable thumbs was going to get the cap off the gin, and (b) how to keep cat hair out out of the drink.
The criticism of Donald Trump's wife comes as it was just revealed that nobody is buying any tickets to her upcoming documentary, MELANIA, which hits theaters on Friday, January 30.
Per a new report, barely any pre-sale tickets for the movie have sold, despite the president claiming otherwise.
"It's a very hard ticket... everybody wants tickets," Donald told the press aboard Air Force One on Sunday, January 11, referring to the Thursday, January 29, premiere event at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Didn't they do that for that stupid "Sound of Freedom" movie? Claiming it was always a "sellout" but it was because right-wing groups were buying up all the tickets at theaters to give away and STILL no one wanted to see it?
It’s how George Will, Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich achieve “best selling author” blurbs when their books get published.
The books never even hit the bookstore. They just sell truckloads of them right off the press to the paper pulp industrial complex and split the take between the author and the publisher on a 10 - 90 % basis.
I remember reading something translated from ancient greek or roman (don't remember anymore) in which a parent was complaining about the way their kids dressed, the music they played, and how they had no respect for their elders. It was rather a big "Aha!" moment at 19 years of age.
Ta, Robyn. Beloved Meccalopolis and I are sipping flowery green tea; in a short while I'll make our fruit bowls. We have some errands to do, but we won't do them until after the plow. We have to check the thrift shop for a hair dryer so we can tighten up the plastic over the window. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace.
Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot six months after your last, and catch up on any other vaccinations you need (and make sure any kids in your family are fully vaccinated also too), avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from is and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because we love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed family and friends like Forever 27 Treg and heroic Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among nearly eight million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we love and appreciate you, Medicos of Wonkette), particularly ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please, please stay safe.
I clearly remember in the early days of covid having a lengthy conversation with a now former Wonkette about how suddenly we couldn’t stop touching our faces—like now that attention was drawn to it it became compulsive.
The way to keep from any issues is you just never STOP touching your face. If you keep your hands on your face you can’t pick up germs and transfer them TO your face.
When I checked just now, looked like someone is holding a Kamala poster with a lot of text, which I'll assume is some pertinant comment of hers about the dangers of Trump.
Is Greenlandic as complicated as Icelandic? When I was in Iceland, I knew a young lass who tried to teach me some fancy Icelandic phrases and she'd laugh at me until she "pee pee'd a little".
That was about the time I discovered being funny trumped* almost anything else for a dude... except stacks of greenbacks and George Clooney looks.
I forgot to mention that Doppelganger the cat is beautiful!

Machado is an opportunist. And evil.
The cat massage lady was high on catnip for that entire video.
On the matter of Kid Inventors:
The Misinventions of Milo Weatherby by Bill Whirity (23+ minutes)

For your snowy, cold Caturday, we have two things:
"I don't GAF." Bodega Caturday https://bsky.app/profile/bodegacats.bsky.social/post/3mclneec3322u
and
Jim Acosta on "I've Had It" ... worth a listen for its hopium and the nickname "Cocaine Mitch"
https://youtu.be/LV0ZTabC1qU 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 [1hr 20min] A good listen.
If I were in the same room as the cat massage lady I would not turn my back on her.

Wait -- is that -- true?

Now I want to make another podcast.
Do you have a photogenic cat? We could probably do a series these days: Martini, Mojito, Tequila Sunrise…
We could do a hybrid podacst where I critique museum hygiene while you sip cat-created alcoholic drinks.
Oh wait….I just googled it and there is good news and bad news.
Bad news: there are already 16 podcasts that already do exactly that.
Good news: the magic number for copycating a premise in America is 527.
That's our loss. We shall abide.
Ain't that a shame...

Hate to break it to him but the last remaining Pussycat porn theater refuses to show it...
They might consider PAYING people to attend the movie instead of that tired old paradigm where people buy tickets.
$500, paid in cash at the door, might tempt me to attend. George Soros pays about that much to get me to the protests for about 90 minutes.
Didn't they do that for that stupid "Sound of Freedom" movie? Claiming it was always a "sellout" but it was because right-wing groups were buying up all the tickets at theaters to give away and STILL no one wanted to see it?

Waste not, want not.
I don't care, do you?
Imagine saying "It's a very hard ticket" like it means something.
Trust me my RAZZIE nomination ballot for next year will be filled with votes for this SIN-A-matic dreck!

Man, I crushed on her so hard in my younger years...
I need weed, coffee, and breakfast, STAT PRONTO A$AP, however the kids are talking these days.
6 7!
STAAAAHP!
What?
It's a thing the kids say...
kids these days...
well, kids any days
I remember reading something translated from ancient greek or roman (don't remember anymore) in which a parent was complaining about the way their kids dressed, the music they played, and how they had no respect for their elders. It was rather a big "Aha!" moment at 19 years of age.
I though the response was a joke. My bad.
Your Cat Wants A Massage credits include "God, who makes it all happen.". Also past president of SAG
The whole video was propaganda from Big Nip.

Enjoy the snowy mountains! Stay safe!
Have a lovely day you two!
And if you see Linda1961, it’s her 65th birthday, so she needs a blessing.
Ta, Babe. I found her on the drinky thread and posted the blessing. 65!
careful, the roads around here are not great
I'm waiting for our worthless plow guy.
I was touching my face when I read "stop touching your face" so it really spoke to me! Good luck with the windows❄️
I clearly remember in the early days of covid having a lengthy conversation with a now former Wonkette about how suddenly we couldn’t stop touching our faces—like now that attention was drawn to it it became compulsive.
I JUST DID IT AGAIN
The way to keep from any issues is you just never STOP touching your face. If you keep your hands on your face you can’t pick up germs and transfer them TO your face.
Though you’ll look like The Scream.
Not a bad pose in These Times
and since somebody suggested that the painting looks like a hound dog, i can't unsee it.
Yes, me too. I touch my face way too much. Which is hard, because I am a parakeet.
Impresssive, really!
But you have done great on not licking flagpoles during coldspells.
OT:
I hope you've seen this already.
Again, it's the footage live from Nuuk, Greenland. They're protesting outside the U.S. embassy. They're chanting mostly in Greenlandic.

Oh fuck.
Now he's pissed off the Vikings?

*no relation
I am not sure! I read a book about Icelandic. It seems pretty hard.
I personally believe it is impossible to learn unless you are introduced to it young or you are a real genius.
I am not even a pretend genius, so impossible.
That might be true if you are of about our years, yes. :)
INSURRECTION!!!!
SEND IN ICE!!
It's Benghazi all over again!!!
"We shoulda took Benghazi when we had a chance!!!
AND FRANCE!!! WE WERE RIGHT THERE WITH ALL OUR REAL GENERALS FERCHRISTSAKE!"
This is so stirring, "We will not be colonized twice!"
Thanks! The remainder of my snowy Saturday morning is now planned out – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenlandic_language
