The New Coffee Room

@jon-nyc said in The Hegseth "incident.":

It’s notable that both he and Trump cheated on W1 with W2, and cheated on W2 with W3.

That seems to be a pretty exclusive club. Seems like to be W3 of such a guy has to come with a little resignation that you’re bound to be cheated on also. Perhaps even with W4 if the guy’s young enough

So the question is: can we trust him? Obviously, his wives couldn't and they were right.

If he can break one oath, he can break another. That's just the kind of guy he is.

Great post kluurs. Those little things really become part of your house and home. We have zebra finches for a while--they never really lasted, but then we got a canary. He was our pet for 15 years. He sang his heart out night and day and even ehen he was old and couldn't perch on his stick he just stood on the floor of his cage and sang.

When he passed away we buried him under this rock in Central Park. A worthy monument.

Now we have ducks, Florida mottled, Black Bellied whistlers, mallard, and fat, slow and friendly Muscovy. (The white ones are named Bob, John, Ellen and Molly and the black ones Tyrone, Deshaun, Sheniqua and Deshia.) We have ibus, and Sand Hill cranes (Broken Feather and Sugar,) that come for breakfast.

Birds are wonderful.

At least he doesnt, "like um' young."

But over all I'd consider him kind of a shitty guy. I'd rather it wasn't so. I'm sure he's going to be a great SoD, so no issues there, it just looks bad and makes him kind of creepy.

I never got past the picture.

Did you notice her legs go all the way to the ground?

And ended off in stiletto heels? They are very important for the whole effect.

This is Aston Martin. The humor is because it’s an ad for pre-owned vehicles.

Ah! It was not immediately apparent to me.

It was a lot more clear than that Jaguar add. When you posted it in the other thread I didn't get it was about the car at all till I saw other posts.

England is a POOR country. Without London, the per capita GDP of the United Kingdom is lower than Mississippi the poorest American state:
Mississippi: In 2023, Mississippi's GDP per capita was $47,190.
United Kingdom: In 2022, the UK's GDP per capita was £37,852, or roughly $45,000.

Maybe 10 years ago or so my wife and I saw this movie with Steve Coogan called "The Trip." We said "let's do that." We flew to England for an open end vacation and rented a car to drive around stay in quaint village hotels and have fine dining in the local pubs. We didn't plan well, it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. We started in London where our plane came in and just drove north. Outside of London, England was a lot like Gary, Indiana or Camden, NJ. Quite surprising. There are certified tourist destinations that are wonderful but to just generally cruise through the random British countryside is kind of depressing. It's poor.

Venti is Italian for 20.

One time I ordered a grande coffee and the woman replied ‘Venti?’ I said ‘No, sedici’. Nobody laughed but me.

Matt Gaetz says the same thing (tho' for a different product.)

6. I'd like to trade chord progressions with Taylor.

Forget the Banana I'm saving my pennies to buy the Monet.

I parked in back of one a little while ago and I was able to look at it a bit. It's something of an enigma. It's a big metal box with wheels and that's about it. Whatever is going on inside it is a mystery.

Mossad probably has agents waiting for him in the afterlife.

Then George, I think you have a project!

Back to the February 23, 2022 line and close the book on that one. Trump is going to make quick work of the negotiations and everybody's going to give a bit (or a lot.) It's a pointless war. It did isolate Russia and hurt it's economy for a long time to come and it strenthened NATO so that all turned out good but it cost a lot of money and a lot of lives. As to Ukraine in NATO, probably not.

@Aqua-Letifer said in For Sale:

I'd buy it and turn it into suburban Bag-End.

I mean no I wouldn't but if I won the ol' lotto, that's absolutely the first thing I'd do. We both talked about it many times. Win lotto, start a long-term renovation to turn an existing eyesore into a modern hobbit hole.

You're right, it's got the Bag-End look which is really cute. The door, the overhang of the door, the roof window all cute but that is going to take a lot of work. I'd gut it and re-sheetrock and go from there the floors could be ok but thats about it. But it gets an "A" from me for cute. But now it's a 400k+ house, is that supportable?

And hopefulll it will be the same for all the other departments of government.

Makes me thankful I've never won an award. (At least since grammar school!)

Damn! I thought this was about a third attempt on Trump!

I don't know him but I know people that know people that know him and he's said to be an unqualified piece of sh^t as a human being. A RABID Trump supporter. But, you need a decent man for AG. So, no from me.

His ex-wife is dead in a ditch. Americans are a little softhearted about such things.
