See?! I really know nothing about this passtime. But I have been led to understand that beverages are sometimes consumed, hence the addition of a beverage-holding receptacle.
so I am sitting here, watching the Wonkitty ice fishing, and I know that Wonkitty will catch TABS, but I was secretly hoping you would have Jabber Jaw pop out of the hole and swallow the cat whole, lunch pail and all..... mebbe leave a TABS bloodstain on the ice... :)
You know who I am and know you can trust me not to steal the candlesticks by shoving them down the front of my nonpants and telling you ''That? My tallywacker'' like a common Spinal Tapster. So why do I have to give you my email address to read this?
Come and check out what's going on in my little corner of the French countryside, stay for the silliness. And all the info about your rad Tab gifs from Wonkette.com!
Hey Martini, can you help with this? CafeeenMan thought he was on a two week time out, but he tried to log in but couldn't. He waited 30 days and still couldn't. Is he permabanned? He would like to come back if he's not.
Ohio is now considering using nitrogen in their executions. Why don't they just strap the prisoner down and have the executioner put a pillow over his face until he stops twitching?

This is an excellent documentary with amazing music and live performances, including fascinating interviews. The concert was recorded in 1969, and there is a discussion of the changing world as it connected to the music. Worth the rental!

Interesting ... major outages of internet/mobile service in Russia ... and noticeable less antivaxxer/right wing/tankie replies on German Twitter today. Straaaaaange.
"The US economy is the strongest in the world right now, because Joe Biden and Democrats put money in people’s hands instead of that austerity bullshit"
But see, it put money in the hands of people who needed it, and that can't be right.
I read today that PAB's hair color varies from blonde to orange, depending on how long the big baby can tolerate sitting in the chair and allowing the coloring stuff that they put in his hair to work. As his attention span shrinks, and his agitation level grows, it will keep going more orange. I expect to see him go Carrot Top in a few months.
OT: Currently having the complimentary breakfast at a pricey suites-hotel. The visual presentation is better than average but the food is worse. The CAUTION HOT stickering on the glass case containing the desiccated pork wafers and scrambled egg disks is a cruel mockery, and the design makes it virtually impossible to reach inside with the tongs. The cream cheese is hidden, and when found is low-fat. I was genuinely grateful to see the processed cheese slices since they're virtually impossible to screw up. The English muffins were in a bag in a drawer, making the sanitary tongs pointless. 4/10, all style no substance.
I'm at a midrange hotel, and the breakfast was also sad and disappointing. I had the "cage-free" eggs yesterday (they had green chili's, I HAD to try) and those "eggs" should have been caged for impersonating eggs. Today I had sad oatmeal.
Just once I would like a decent breakfast. The phenomena seems to be city independent.
I’ve been reading about this bipartisan “kids online safety act” that’s moving through the US Congress. It seems to me that it is a potentially dangerous bill. Sure, I don’t want kids being bullied or encouraged to self harm. On the other hand, I sure as hell don’t want a state attorney general (looking at you, Texas AG Paxton) to decide what is harmful. I mean. The fucking Heritage Foundation wants it to include anything related to transgender health as harmful.
The egregiousness of Bret Stephens' take on the injustice done to poor, defenseless, Donald Trump by being held accountable for sexual assault and defamation kind of leaves me wondering if maybe Mr. Stephens is not looking over his shoulder in fear about something in his own past.
A bit of trivia to go with today’s header gif theme: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/ice-fishing?r=angu9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Good ole boys like to sit around the old fishing hole, drinking ice cold glasses of milk
"Milk."
Why does the kitten need a *cooler* when ice fishing? Wouldn't everything stay cold?
It's for temperature control. Don't want your beeah to freeze, deah!
Plus, the cooler has handles for carrying. I've also seen people use coolers to keep batteries warm. And of course, hot coffee with coffee brandy....
See?! I really know nothing about this passtime. But I have been led to understand that beverages are sometimes consumed, hence the addition of a beverage-holding receptacle.
Iconography/semiotics, or maybe what Momo said.
The cooler is to keep the milk from freezing.

but I am a sick bastard sometimes.
Haha, twisted! I like it, but I don’t think I could maim my dear Wonkitty. Now a few RWNJs, on the other hand…
Babby Turnip rolling around the green after missing the putt. Then out from the ground comes...land shark!
:)
The scene in an ice fishing hut in this season of "Fargo" has pretty much turned off any interest in it as a passtime.
I hear ya! I still can't eat s'mores after watching The Menu.
It's also featured in the new season of True Detective. To what end, it's not yet clear, but so far, so creepy.
I plan on starting it soon. Right after ai finish "Monsieur Spade".
Gonna check that out!
Is M. Spade good? I'm saving episodes for a mini-binge.
I love the two episodes I've seen so far.
Me too. It unwinds at its own pace.
Intriguing! I haven’t seen the new season yet.
It's Trump era, set in 2019.
Oof.
That 2 million figure is even more impressive when you know it can't be Floridians or New Mexicans boosting the total.
You know who I am and know you can trust me not to steal the candlesticks by shoving them down the front of my nonpants and telling you ''That? My tallywacker'' like a common Spinal Tapster. So why do I have to give you my email address to read this?
Candlestick, or candleholder?
Candlesticks make a nice wedding present.....
Is that a candelabra in your pocket or are you happy to see - oh it’s you, Hunter!,
And here I was going to compliment you on said tallywhacker.
WTF are you talking about? I have not set my page up to require that, so you do not.
It still comes up asking us to subscribe. There is an easy to miss option to just skip it, though.
It’s default platform functionality.
I figured.

No thanks.
I didn't have to give my email, and I'm not using the app.
I did subscribe- I'm not making enough use of what substack offers.
I need a job where I have time to scroll and non comment .
So you can’t hit no thanks and move on?
I took ''No, thanks'' to mean that if I chose not to give you my email I was then shut out. OK, now that THAT'S cleared up ...
Hey Martini, can you help with this? CafeeenMan thought he was on a two week time out, but he tried to log in but couldn't. He waited 30 days and still couldn't. Is he permabanned? He would like to come back if he's not.
Well I’ll see if I can find out, but I don’t have the master subscriber list. That’s Rebecca’s baby.
Okay. I can't say his behavior has improved, but at least I can tell him it's being looked into.
I banned him indefinitely. it was exhausting, he's been banned multiple times, it never changes and it never stopped.
Understood. : )
Very informative! Suddenly feel a little more Canadian than I did ten minutes ago.
Is that a straight line?
Think it's a quartic plane curve.
I was only only talking about comedy; you're talking about something much more complicated.
I don't know much about comedy, or science. Fake it til I make it, or something!
Ohio is now considering using nitrogen in their executions. Why don't they just strap the prisoner down and have the executioner put a pillow over his face until he stops twitching?
After all, Mike Lindell could use the business!!
Too many feathers!
Yeah, I'm not down with that either.

Chita makes Gwen look sloppy, and that's a feat.
So of course Schillinger hits on the teenagers at her party. Of course she does.
That's why she was getting them drunk ... so she could get some young stud cock. I thought that was obvious ...
Stunt cock? No wait, that's from the classic film Orgasmo.

So PAB is friends with Vince McMahon and was friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
The. Best. People.
Would you believe I don't know a single rapist? Clearly, I don't travel in the right circles.
Wow, David Corn went through Lowry like himself through a goose.

holy crap, i really thought that was just some dead ferret that they glued onto him each day.
You think he has the patience for a fresh one every day? I assumed it was week-old dead ferret at best.

when i was road warrior-ing a few years back the only thing that kept me sane was the daily complimentary rubbery scrambled eggs doused in tabasco.
also, the wine store within walking distance...
As noted below, it's a widespread phenomenon. But Milton, Ontario, fwiw.

They're getting a little too adept at attacking from many angles; I'm feeling overwhelmed, personally, although I'm well aware we can't afford to be.
Reposting for the LOLs in response to the MAGA vs. Swifties battle:
Stranger Than Friction

Beyonce to Taylor's Swifties: "I go in search of the Beyhive. Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth play; at dawn look to the east."
(Swifties nod their heads with grim satisfaction as Beyonce whistles for her ride.)
At half time a troop of Kpop stans arrives at the superb owl stadium with dance moves and plenty of arrows.
(With apologies to J. R. R. Tolkien)
The egregiousness of Bret Stephens' take on the injustice done to poor, defenseless, Donald Trump by being held accountable for sexual assault and defamation kind of leaves me wondering if maybe Mr. Stephens is not looking over his shoulder in fear about something in his own past.
It would be irresponsible not to speculate!
Gonna make like a banana and split now.
--30--
Imma make like a coconut
For the lolz
