Name the drink Ulama. Based upon the Mesoamerican ballgame. See below:
"The Mesoamerican ballgame (Classical Nahuatl: ōllamalīztli, Nahuatl pronunciation: [oːlːamaˈlist͡ɬi], Epigraphic Mayan: pitz) was a sport with ritual associations played since at least 1650 BCE (the middle Mesoamerican Preclassic period of the pre-Columbian era) by the people of Ancient Mesoamerica. The sport had different versions in different places during the millennia, and a modernized version of the game, ulama, is still played by the indigenous peoples of Mexico in some places." -- Wikipedia.
Call it the Quetzalcoatl. Aztec god of arts, crafts, knowledge, wisdom and learning, all of which we could use more of. Also appears as a feathered serpent, which is just cool.
Hmm. I always pronounced (or rather, perhaps mispronounced) the first syllable as "Kwetz". Not a Spanish speaker ... so quite sure I have been incorrect all along.
Oh, and 47 signed an "order" saying we're going back to the moon by 2028. With what funding? With what scientists? Y'all got rid of all that! He's just trying to make his wishful thinking official.
47 is screaming about Dems "shutting down the government" in January. When HE is the main one who blew up the most recent talks. ALSO it won't be the whole govt, ~4/10s of it is already funded through September, including DoD, Lege Branch, and more (fun fact: Senate got an amendment on the DoD funding saying until Hegseth releases the boat strike tapes, his travel budget is sliced to ribbons).
Again. GOP control both chambers of Congress, the Presidency, AND the Court. They have over 30 days for avert this. BUT IT'S JUST SOOOOO HAAAAARD.....
BBC: Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has announced she is dropping out of the race for governor of New York and will not seek re-election to Congress.
oh boy.. the yammering yam has arrived at Merde-Largeo for 'a two-week vacation' .. The FAA has issued air-traffic restrictions, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff has announced road closures "with more closures on short notice" as he spreads his slime around the area.. an easterly wind is forecast, so with that onshore wind there should soon be an air quality alerts for Trump's aroma.
I'm guessing his motorcade will be repeatedly driving up and down I95 between Belvedere and Forest Hill so he can see the exit signs for DONALD J. TRUMP BLVD.. (narrator: it's still Southern Blvd dammit!)

FAKE NEWS: North Dakota law accidentally lists fake critical minerals based on coal lawyers’ names
"The fake minerals are friezium and stralium, apparent references to Christopher Friez and David Straley, attorneys for North American Coal who were closely involved in drafting the bill and its amendments."
"Hello Lynne. We've heard that you're thinking of having goose for Christmas Dinner. We're very disappointed Lynne. We're sending round our best operative to show you the error of your ways, Lynne."
Reminder: Nixon's AG John Mitchell went to prison for his role in the Watergate cover-up. Bondi and all the others involved in the Epstein Files release cover-up, though not thorough enough, as Dipshit is clearly implicated, should go to prison. Covering up for pedos is far worse than Watergate.
Bongogo should speak up now and clear his conscience, but he's probably too chickenshit to do so. Clearly he wanted nothing to do with covering up for pedos, but doesn't have the fortitude to stand up for the victims.
Oh, and send Dipshit back out on the campaign trail? Please proceed pedo protectors! Maybe the strain will hasten his death, but if not, his whines and clear decline will remind voters to NOT vote for the party that has enabled him for over 10 years. It can only help Dems in the midterms. Maybe that Susie Wiles isn't any more competent than the others in the regime.
And yet 77 million voted for him last time, despite all that. Although maybe like the time before, having his maladministration fresh in mind while they're at the polls will have an influence.
I don't know. It honestly confounds me that people could live through 2017-2020 and then completely forget what an absolute shitshow it was, and decide to give the guy another chance. I get his cultists are gonna vote for him no matter what, it's the rest I can't understand.
And then of course I just want to slap everyone that might've voted blue but who didn't show up because they were butthurt or whatever over the blah lady running.
Questions here.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ZERO CALORIE MARASCHINO CHERRIES FOR MY APPLETINI? I'M TRYING TO STICK TO MY DIET!
Have a shot of Malort - it has negative calories! Restroom is to the right, try to clean up after yourself.

The soda gun is *right there*
Why is it called cargo when it goes by ship, and shipment when it goes by car?
The same reason they are called tampons and napkins when they should be tamp-ins and napk-ons
Laughing so hard at this. A man said this and I never thought of it this way, but you're right.
A woman friend said this to me years ago and I never had the chance to use it until this thread
WTF
why do you drive on parkways and park in driveways?
Is it art just because you hang it on the wall??
More or less.
As a dentist, was it unethical for Herbie to pull out all of Bumble’s teeth?
Depends on whether he provided Bumble with (non-sharp) dentures?
Call it the Toreador. He dances with the bull. Bad shit comes later. Now is the dance.
"Doin' the bull dance. Feelin' the flow. Working it. Working it."
Ooh, that does sound lovely.
Mmmm! Tequila! Cuervo Gold! The Devil's Panty Squeezings!
Comes in handy when you need to top off your brake fluid and you're out of DOT 4
Definitely as corrosive.
You. Out.
Just made this. She is like the brick house the Commodore's sang of long ages ago, with many layers of mighty. I will call it Albañil.
Call it the Quetzalcoatl. Aztec god of arts, crafts, knowledge, wisdom and learning, all of which we could use more of. Also appears as a feathered serpent, which is just cool.
We east coast Yucatanians call him Kukulkán.
“Kez-eh-kottle” is a rough pronunciation guide for those who aren’t fantasy nerds.
Hmm. I always pronounced (or rather, perhaps mispronounced) the first syllable as "Kwetz". Not a Spanish speaker ... so quite sure I have been incorrect all along.
It's a test. If you can pronounce it, you're sober enough for another one.
What does fantasy have to do with it?
DnD, fantasy stories about Aztec gods, etc. Real historians and other academic types would know as well; I just don’t claim to be any of those.
Thanks, didn't know about the fantasy versions, just historical/cultural references.
Thanks for answering my L43 / vanilla extract question! :-)

Sounds like another AI success story.
Apparently not AI. Though I blame AI for all my mistakes. Forgot to buy mustard? AI! Bank fraud? AI! Pee'd my pants? AI!
I saw they're blaming human pranksters, but it's still AI's fault.
Wrongly blame AI? AI!

That's it! I'm going back to sleep!
"Trump talks about neuroses, selecting chairs and his wife’s underwear drawer in latest affordability speech"
He is out of his fucking mind.
Chump hasn't been allowed anywhere near Melania's underwear drawer in ages.
The 2025 Grievance Tour. Try not to confuse it with the 2016 and 2020 ones, although he's recycling many of the same old hits.
Is he presidential NOW?
Any Day Now.
No, really...
Maybe he's finally dying.
Too early to get my hopes up.

Look into her eyes in that Vanity Fair photo and tell me she's not competent.
I have and I still say she's not competent.
And yet 77 million voted for him last time, despite all that. Although maybe like the time before, having his maladministration fresh in mind while they're at the polls will have an influence.
What the fuck were people even voting for last time?

Not a lady woman.
Some person yelling outside my window.

Enough to raise my blood pressure.
