You know, Boambee John, even on a site with more than it’s fair share of Fools, you’re still the standout.

Dick, you are looking in the mirror, not at reality.

PS, I love your use of RandOm caPitals.

Not for regional viewers, apparently. We are still subjected to hours upon hours of mindless sport. I’ve just about had it with Sky.

In Toorak.

A woman just walked past in active wear. She was pushing a pram.

In the pram was a fully-grown corgi. Just another day, I guess.

My quote of the day in a video clip played by Sky Outsiders.

US conservative Matt Walsh asks a leftard trans activist who’s obviously a bloke: “What is a woman?”

Fruitcake: “It’s not up to me to say.”

This is where you end up if you keep deconstructing the life you lead – at the bottom of a rabbit hole of voluntarily self-inflicted mental illness.

Since it’s Sunday.

The ecclesial solution to squirrel infestations (Bayou Renaissance Man, 20 Jan)

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.

At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.

I got the new young currawong to take mince from my hand this morning, which she did twice. I’ll have to bring in some squirrels next.

Does the casting properly reflect the diversity of today,

Yes, Hitler is a black, Jewish tranny.

As soon as the US stops reporting COVID numbers in Feb there will be a push by the Cathedral to say COVID isn’t bad anymore.
How will The Australian subsidiary of the Cathedral keep it going until the election (at least).

And only 180 odd in ICU in NSW.
Not too shabby.

Numbers were over 220 in mid Sept.
The take home message will be the success of vaccines.
The far less lethal Omicron factor will finish at the tail is the field of runners.

aw fsbk teh poof redder is awake.

Depicts Chamberlain as an intelligent, well intentioned, Mr Nice Guy.
We know none of these to be true.

Chamberlain was well intentioned, he’s seen the slaughter 20 years before, and he was honest, when he realised he couldn’t stop the push for war inside his Government, he resigned.

US conservative Matt Walsh asks a leftard trans activist who’s obviously a bloke: “What is a woman?”

Fruitcake: “It’s not up to me to say.”

IIRC, said fruitcake argued that a declaration of womanhood was sufficient for acknowledgement. My question then is, following that argument, if a person was to declare himself/herself a hamster or a chair, should we be obliged to acknowledge that?

How will The Australian subsidiary of the Cathedral keep it going …

No problem. Never underestimate the capacity of the Ostrayan electorate to believe political bullsh1t.

There’s a Tarantino movie for whatever your mood is.
Apart from Kill Bill Vol 2 of course.

The one that’s grown on me over time & now would be close to my favourite is The Hateful Eight.
It’s like a genuine stage play.

Never go full Bird…

aw fsbk teh poof redder is awake.

Ha! ha!. Following the same path as Gem. You’ll be craving Woodstock cans soon like him.

Nuq’nuh, rambler.

Quentin Tarantino movies are how-to video for psychopaths.

Shingles is an AutoImmune Disease, occasionally fatal,
Vaxxscene induced in this instance?

Gez not Gem.

Does the casting properly reflect the diversity of today

Funny you should ask that.

QB for the Bengals has been sacked (tackled) 8 times today.
His team mates response has been subdued on most occasions.
Compare that to when Tom Brady is sacked & it’s half a dozen players rushing over to him to make sure he’s fine & to help him up.

To his credit, there’s one lineman – who’s been doing his job – who’s walked over and offered him a hand up.

Shingles is an AutoImmune Disease,

Wrong.

Varicella zoster virus goes dormant in human neural cells, only to potentially reactivate later in life.

Grigory could have had a broken clock moment in his claim that coof stabs might be a mediating factor in reactivation, but there is insufficient information to make it conclusive.

In summary, I give Grigs a 4.5/5 Gypsums* for this one.

* (Where 0 Gypsums is a “Holy [Shirt]! Grigs is actually accurate and non-disingenuous for once!” and 5 is “Fuck off, Grigory…”)

Pod Life.

All true zk2a, but that doesn’t stop Chamberlain from being a pythonesque upper class twit who was prepared to throw all of Europe and a future Britain under the nazi bus, just to prolong his political career for a few more months.

Was he really an upper class twit? In the midst of “peace in our time” and all sorts of dilly dallying Britain was embarking on a massive re-armament program that completely eclipsed anything since WWI.

I will take actions over words any day.

There was a body of opinion in Britain that argued just that – Germany had been treated very harshly at Versailles…

Only the people with a functioning brain thought that w3ay.
The deal went down like this:
An Armistice was agreed upon where all the combatants would retreat to their pre War borders and hostilities would cease.
However, Britain still blockaded the Sea Lanes, starving Germany, in violation of the Armistice.
Combined with that were Communist Revolutions in the German States, virtual Anarchy in the Cities caused by starvation and Communists rioting and the stage was set for the totally illegal carve up of the German Empire and the creation of states that had never existed before, e.g. Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Romania and the reinvention of States that hade been defunct for centuries, e.g., Poland band Lithuania.
There were also a coupla Countries that Versailles just erased, like they’d never existed
Other parts of Germ any, i.e., places entirely populated by Germans, were gifted to France aqnd Denmark.
There were still people in England who knew that all this bastardry had happened and didn’t see any reason for Round Two to begin.

Rex, could it be that coming into contact with COVID triggers it?
It is a bio weapon & this could be the unintended consequence.
Or is that just a silly idea?

I’m unconvinced by the idea of viral interaction, bern.

But since it is senescent folk with some form of (even temporary) immune suppression or dysfunction (e.g. getting a bit run down by something[s] else, then copping a flare-up), and it can be resolved or avoided with a varicella-specific vaccine, the idea of one’s system going berko reacting to the stab’s spike proteins and struggling to respond to the ‘more’usual threats it faces is not impossible.

If you mean Covid, it was useless as a BioWeapon.
If you mean the Gain Of Function research that came up with the VaxZines, yeah.

My apologies fellow Johnsons, I seem to have triggered the gypsum man.

The CCP must dream of having police, officials and bureaucrats like those in Australia. So reliable!

It’s probably time to get Andrews locked up under the Mental Health Act.

No.

That gets him out of being tried and executed.

Chamberlain was well intentioned, he’s seen the slaughter 20 years before, and he was honest, when he realised he couldn’t stop the push for war inside his Government, he resigned.

Chamberlain resigned in May 1940. The War was well underway by then. Chamberlain was the PM at the time war was declared.

Not as harshly as the Germans treated the Russians at Brest-Litovsk.

Starts well! I thought it would end with 100 pulls and the side ripped out of the wheelie bin!

Why is Almond milk called Almond milk?

Who would buy nut juice?

40 years … still a goer
(100 pulls is s serious under estimate)

My grandfather and I once tried to start an old JAP engine he had. We never got it going. Each time we tried to start it something snapped off, it was shedding cooling fins like they were dandruff!

I wonder, would that have had anything to do with the butchery of women and children in Belgium and France?

Atrocity propaganda from 1914 to stir up patriotism in Britain.
Proven to be FakeNews after the War.
The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was with the Soviet Union, a Criminal State.
Who cares how harsh the Terms were for the murderers?

Who would buy nut juice?

Though the pun swings the other way as well.

Much like the 2 Viktoristani AFLW sportsMA’AMs and their out-of-State ‘donation’ commented about on the Cat yesterday…

Rickw,
Was there a frame with the JAP? Certainly a blast from the past but probably a few of them going round at Classic races.
Modern bikes have Jap engines. Usually.

four stroke

Ends in busted valve.

Was there a frame with the JAP? Certainly a blast from the past but probably a few of them going round at Classic races.

No, just the engine. I don’t know how it could have been rescued. Something had gone horribly wrong with the aluminium over time. Maybe disassemble and heat to the right temperature in an autoclave?

In the interest of social democracy and the greater participation of workers in decisions which effect them (what socialist could be against that, eh Dan?), may I suggest that hospitality workers – who’ll bear the brunt of public displeasure over this measure – have the deciding vote on this?

Of course this isn’t how socialism works. Central planning needs a heirarchy, in which case viola! It’s proponents get to call the shots.

Socialism is a sophisticated method of obtaining power and eliminating rivals.

Today I learned that the Communist Manifesto was originally called the “Communist Confession of Faith”.
Yep, it’s a religion.

The TIK history channel is pretty awesome.
I’m too delicate to sit through the Stalingrad battles, but the rest is just incredible.

Speaking of all the johnsons on the Cat

Is ‘Long Johnson’ like ‘Long covid?’

Something for Sunday afternoon. Fifty years old and still a fine song for anyone with a heartbeat.

Sunday afternoon WWII movie:

Is ‘Long Johnson’ like ‘Long covid?’

NO.
There is only one natural Long Johnson here.
There are many many others who are surgically enhanced.

‘Don’t sit there in your white coat and tell me “just do what we say”‘: Bill Maher takes aim at Dr. Fauci as he urges Americans not to blindly follow advice of doctors

Meanwhile, Maher did commend the success of the coronavirus vaccine, however he added that while it does prevent one from dying, it does not stop the transmission of the virus.

‘They just prevent you from dying, which is a great part of it, let’s not undercount that.’

‘But if they don’t prevent you from transmitting it and they don’t prevent you from getting it why are we still treating this disease the way we always have?’

Sure, Bill Maher = comedian; and everybody has an arse.

The interesting bit is that this – and particularly the last para – is being reported neutrally by a significant part of the MSM.

The developing temper of the times.

Sunday lunch at the pub, catching up with locals. Seems most of the families in town with kids & teenagers have Covid or have had the coof.
Visited Mum in aged care, they’re just running the usual temp check and electronic sign in. Staff seemed to be back to hands on with the residents. Nice to see because for some that is the only human touch they get.

@Cassie of Sydney.
Fair cop on the slip up on unedifying. Alas it was, as Gerard Henderson would say, after gin and tonic time.
As for new poster, I was a regular commenter on the original Cat for several years, This re-incarnation was not widely publicised as far as I can tell and I have only recently caught up. As for appropriate language to suit a given situation I stand on my dig. The language of the football locker room and the public bar is not necessarily appropriate in a an assembly comprising young children, pensioners and everyone in between. The polite word for those who cannot show such basic social courtesies is “yobs” and there were plenty on display on Saturday not least amongst the organisers.
