Babel-17 by Samuel Delaney; it's been forever since I read it, but that line has stuck with me. How often do you get to deploy a reference to bandicoots?
In the lost episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies," Elly May adopts a bandicoot. Hilarity ensues when Miss Jane mistakes the bandicoot for a mouse and screams the mansion down. She recovers when she sees Jethro and throws herself into his arms. Meanwhile, Granny plots to rid her home of the long nosed mouse.
It’s a bit confusing, because “bandicoot” could mean a species of rat (found in India) or the Aussie critter, but neither lives close to Beverly Hills.
True, so there will have to be a backstory about how the bandicoot ended up in Beverly Hills. Like a kangaroo did, and Granny thought it was a giant jackrabbit. I don't remember the kangaroo's backstory, probably some plot by Mrs. Drysdale.
I think Trump has shingles.If he had chicken pox as a kid, I'd be surer of it. There are preventive vaccines of course. I got mine already. But he neglects his health completely due to the fact that needing shots spoils his self-image on perfection.
So that'd be a "Yeah, back away slowly" then. I mean I got no problem with ground beef in principle (as long as I grind it myself so I know what's in there -- and what isn't) but only in moderation. We had my special tacos tonight which feature a 50-50 mix of seasoned ground beef (made in house) and my homemade ultra-low fat chorizo. Basically I use a boneless pork loin with all of the excess fat trimmed away, and replace the fat with olive oil in the marinade/paste that I grind it with. It's amazing. Then sour cream, grated extra sharp cheddar, and homemade pico de gallo and your choice of soft or crunchy shell (I like the crunchy kind, my partner likes hers with flour tortillas). I DON'T make my own shells or tortillas though. (There's a limit to how much work I want to put into making tacos.)
Meanwhile, forcing Armageddon is not a new thing. Forty years ago a group of evangelicals mounted an effort to tap into a vast ocean of oil that was supposedly under Israel. The effort wasn't for the purpose of building wealth, rather it was to provoke Russia into invading Israel thereby triggering Armageddon. The CEO of the group bragged if they struck oil he would personally call the Kremlin.
Gosh, WOULDN’T IT BE A SAD if Shitler’s nasty rash—especially if the part on his neck is only what’s visible, and it’s ALL OVER his bloated carcass—were to get infected ...
It's probably Redscale, spread by the Clay Men of Southern Georgia and Northern Florida. It causes skin to turn scaly, rot, and harden. It eventually spreads to cover the entire body, affecting muscles, bones, and organs, and usually leads to madness and death. We're already seeing the former, n'cest pas?
Probably Imiquamod. A topical prep that kills off sun damaged and pre-cancerous outer layers of skin. Peels it away. My guess as I've used it before for same and ps I'm an MD
I can't count how many of those I've had excised. It's only dangerous if you don't take care of it. He has, at our expense, the finest healthcare available. That won't be enough, unfortunately.
Prepare to hear the bilious shitgibbon tell the nation that any US troops who die are suckers and losers. If any are women, he'll say they were ugly and "not his type". Gotta keep morale up!

Tuesday's Tab's with Coffee ☕💯👍
The Slender Snooted Bandicoot
also called The Zebra Rat
spends his days and nights
in the Australian Outback
Very deep cut, because I HAVE to:
"Bandicoots! Bandicoots with thalassemia!"
Way too deep a cut for me to know. 😜
Babel-17 by Samuel Delaney; it's been forever since I read it, but that line has stuck with me. How often do you get to deploy a reference to bandicoots?
Almost never.🤔
This coot luvs the bandicoots.
Dandy bandies!
They eat all kinds of bugs and grubs
And also roots and shoots
They are not really pig rats
They are cute bandicoots
They live in the "down under"
And under ground as well
There's no other way to say it, mate
But those bandicoots are swell.
The ROUS's? I don't think they exist.
Unusual size can go either way.
Cheers mate! You did it again! You plus Martini made my day!
Thanks.
"Long nosed mouse" describes a large portion of the US Congress.
Sooo coot....er....cute. Thanks!
YOU'RE a bandicoot!
Nuh-UH...YOU'RE a bandicoot.

That show. Just the ability of someone to come up with the name "Jethro Bodine" made me want to be a writer.
There is a Jethro in the Bible - the father-in-law of Moses. He was a wise man. Ironic, as Jethro was hard-working and sweet, but dumb.
There's also Jethro Tull -- the band, which was named for Jethro Tull the English agriculturist and inventor of the seed drill.
And she then consults her recipe book.
"The worms is goin' like THIS!"
Isn't long-nosed-mouse what she calls Mr Drysdale?
Perhaps at the end of the episode, the long nosed mouse gets into Granny's supply of "home medicine," further enraging her.

A friend of Mr Drysdale sent him the kangaroo as a gift and it escaped from his yard and into the Clampetts who lived next door.
Bandicutes, am I right?
A truly magnificent marsupial! I just LOVE their extendo=schnozes.
Australia evolved THE most intriguing, unique creatures.
....that all want to kill you.
Marsupial lions have entered the chat.
Marsupial Lions are now believed to be arboreal, thus proving that Drop Bears exist
A band of bandicoots!
Surely the collective noun is 'a cute of bandicoots'
Insert meme, "This is where we throw back our heads and laugh."
Is it only me that thinks Pete's head is getting bigger? Steroids?

+💯 for "Operation Pete Hegseth’s Balls Just Dropped" 🤣
Aso, do I want to know what "boy kibble" is? Or should I just back away slowly from that link?
TicTok food fad. https://www.newsweek.com/what-is-boy-kibble-heres-mens-protein-packed-answer-to-girl-dinner-11604567 Looks like mostly ground beef.

Sounds delicious.
One day I’m gonna write that cookbook.
Someone tell me they’re getting Colbert to do the Correspondent’s Dinner again. Please?
I prefer bachelor chow, over 'boy kibble'. it makes its own gravy.
Now with flavor!
Remember when Bush Jr used the word crusade one time and even Cheney and Rumsfeld were screaming "Shut the fuck up man!"?
Hillary Clinton displaying a perfect resting "Bitch, please" face.
That's why she's where she is, and I'm where I am. How does one respond to that without at least one dumb fuck slipping out?
"....Stupid fucking useless bitch...'
Oops. Did I say that out loud?
Maybe the rash is what happens when your ear's blown off but grows back?
I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a ton of skin damage from the sun--he's outside all the time. And I'm sure he thinks sunblock is GAY.
Or an allergy to the stage blood they used.
Allegedly.
I can't even with Bjork, Iceland's Yoko Ono.

Everyone knows the term, the Chosen People, means they were chosen to live in the one place in the Middle East with no oil.
God's got a quirky sense of humor. It takes some getting used to.
Our troops were told this was the war of Armageddon so Baby Jesus could return as a buff, 100% caucasian warfighter.
This isn't a Holy War. It's a Holy Shit War
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
...and then it's hysterical!

Rope burns from auto-erotic asphyxiation?
Not a chance. How do you think his hands got so small? Even *they* don't want to have sex with him. They shriveled up at the thought.
HA!!!!!!
Someone suggested it could be shingles. I'll take the short-term gratification.
Dr. Rubin coyly suggests actinic keratosis, a precancerous lesion.
https://youtu.be/SSxZtnObeJk?si=Kpfhn1pVJblO7orG
I doubt that cancer would touch Trump.
Professional courtesy.
Doesn't look like any that I've experienced, but ya gotta admit, he's an unusual specimen/host.
That’s okay, we’ll settle for squamous cell carcinoma.
I can't count how many of those I've had excised. It's only dangerous if you don't take care of it. He has, at our expense, the finest healthcare available. That won't be enough, unfortunately.

Bad reaction to fluorouracil cream used to treat actinic keratosis (or worse). All those hours on the golf course.
When I've used it, I get a uniform red burn, not bumpy like that.
I'ma go with neck herpes.
I upfist only because I once saw Neck Herpes open for 10,000 Maniacs.
Was that the same tour that they had Sentient Sashimi on for some of the dates?
Well, maybe. But that bad? Somethin' ain't right.
Second guess: shingles.
Come on, shingles! Make his life more miserable than it obviously already is.
As long as I don't look this up and why would I do that to myself, I can choose to believe Trump's skin is rotting due to advanced syphilis.
Occam's Razor.
