Update: Absolutely not wishing the lyric content upon RabBeet; merely the overall treacly pop ghastliness.
Good morning, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, treacly RabBiT!
Good morning, Fatwa!
Nope, I didn’t click on the link. Just seeing the title was enough.
More than enough.
Really.
Shelves in Walmart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, LA were reportedly cleared Saturday night, when the stores allowed purchases on EBT cards even though they were not showing limits.
The chaos that followed ultimately required intervention from local police, and left behind numerous carts filled to overflowing, apparently abandoned when the glitch-spurred shopping frenzy ended.
Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, “It was worse than any black Friday” that he’s ever seen.
Read the whole thing; these people are fooking entitled pigs:
From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn’t press charges if she left the food.
I think that’s a very poor decision by the company, but then, I’m a Bad Gerbil.
And Happy Columbus Day, altho when I was a kid, it was always celebrated on October 11.

Ha! I did have a couple of Gilbert O’ Sullivan albums when I was a teen.
I blame membership in too many record clubs.

Sven, I absolutely detest Monday holidays .
Wasn’t that brought to us by government unions or something?
A holiday-Holy Day- should be observed on the correct day.
It must chafe them that some days can’t be shifted.
I despise presidents day .

I can understand that October is fire prevention month & you check your smoke detector battery.
But didn’t ” they” change that to reset your clocks & check your battery? ( Don’t get me started on DST)
I check my battery by frying bacon on high.

Today is so overcast that I feel like it is 5:30 on a winter’s night.
But the windows are open, so I’m not complaining.
Columbus? Christopher Columbus?? That evil white bastard’s the “root cause” of each and every single unfortunate thing that has ever happened to black and brown people on this continent for the past 521 years! Derpderpderpderpderpderp…
HOPKINTON, NH (CBS) – Two men who allegedly broke into a Hopkinton, New Hampshire business on Tuesday morning were killed in a massive explosion, officials said.
The State Fire Marshal says that the men, identified as Lucas Bourke, 21, of Allenstown and Ethan Keeler, 21, of Epsom, were using an oxy-acetylene blow torch to try and cut into a large safe inside a workshop at New Yard Landscaping on Farrington Corner Road.
That safe contained a large amount of commercial-grade fireworks, which exploded.
I’m a bad gerbil. I laughed and then told PMK. He laughed too.

Referring back to Sunday’s thread: I earned points Saturday carding a 22yo from Uof I when I told him I had Chief Illiniwek sweatshirts. They kicked out the chief before this kid graduated from HS.
Here’s the 3-in-one. The chief shows up at 50 sec, bursts thru the band at 1:20 but doesn’t do the dance for which he was once famous until 3 minutes in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSoR8PLorTw
“Even so, the police line is basically that when armed police officers come to someone’s door, run a siren and their lights a few seconds, yell “police” a few seconds, and bash in the door, if they find anyone holding a gun, they’re completely justified in killing them. In fact, they’re justified in expecting to kill them first and sorting things out later. If that’s true, God help us all.”
Eliminate sovereign immunity; make LEOs, prosecutors and judges purchase liability insurance out of their own pockets.
And hold them individually responsible for their actions (or lack of same).
Body cameras and mics on every damned LEO; output streamed to secure servers that neither they, DAs nor judges can modify / edit / erase; they can only download copies of the originals.
It’s interesting speculation that Guerena might never have aimed an AR-15 at the police. And McDaniel is right; the benefit of the doubt that police and other govt agencies enjoyed in the past is just that, a thing of the past.
Rainy Day O grabbing’!
Rainy days and Mondays…
At least I’m not talking to myself and feeling old.
Wait.
Nah, I’m just hangin’ around.
Earworm yet?
Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you.
Its nice to know somebody loves me.
Ha!
I crack myself up.
Yes, I did have to go look up the lyrics.

Hai, Wise Choice Paddy!
Wish I could say this surprised me; it’s a logical outgrowth of having a taxpayer-funded moocher class: Walmart shelves in Springhill, Mansfield, cleared in EBT glitch:

Ayup, and us Italians are damn proud of that.
Missed that earlier; har!

Is today’s thread pic from the Mad Max Hydrofoil Regatta?
Lovely.
I guess the next step ought to involve a ginormous mobile forge.
Fences obviously don’t work which is why we don’t have one on the southern border, so why are they trying that same failed tactic here?
Because eff you! That’s why!
Well I guess that’s as good a reason as any from this administration.
Header HEH!
Well-played, (presumably) Jerry.
Yeah, and I had to look up ‘treacly’.

Terror apparently has a new name: default.
