Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven-the-First!
That hippo doesn’t look very happy.
Even though I work at an online school, we do have a small group of severely disabled students who receive in-person special education instruction at a learning center. The special education teacher goes out there on Thursdays to work with the students. Yesterday, a general education teacher went with her and was bitten on the foot by one of the kids. The special education teacher remarked, “He warned her. He told her he bites. Last week he was a turtle, this week he’s a platypus.” Fortunately, platypus bites aren’t bad.
Impeachment. This should be interesting. I know what a Pyrrhic victory is, but is there a term for when you lose a battle you start and destroy yourself in the process?
Had to leave CasaK early this morning to take LambiePieK’s car into PMK’s shop while she did her Friday telecommute routine. (Just routine stuff like front brakes / rotors, oil change, etc.) Also took PMK’s bro (who co-owns the shop) to lunch; alas, PMK was doing an intermittent fast today and missed out.
Is it only me, likely, that finds this part of the Carson King story absurd and infuriating? It’s the Geneseo Brewing Company part and their letter and what I find stupid is this: “We have witnessed your growth through your later social media content and accept your apology.”
Really? This company scoured everything this guy wrote over the last 8 years, found nothing further offensive, and therefore gave him their blessings. He passed the test. Good man. He’s really OK.
I can’t believe the proper response isn’t along the lines of “FFS, teenagers say stupid things, nothing else to see here, move the fuck along.”
I think companies are too afraid of the SJW mob to be that blunt honest. Hence they look for a way out that might satisfy most people, but won’t further inflame the SJWs.
Well this is wrong -- how can I be first on a Friday?
Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!

In this day and age, you can be anything you want, so being a platypus hardly sounds out of the ordinary.
” Fortunately, platypus bites aren’t bad.”
The spurs would be worse, but I assume it was not breeding season for him.
No, he’s still a little too young. I don’t think anyone told him about his spurs -- good thing, too.
Good morning, Paddy and happy Friday Fatwa teh Missing and gerbils everywhere!
Impeachment -- it’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Re-warmed, re-heated, re-hashed. Just pick off the moldy parts and it’s fine.
It’s curious that no one in the media seems to be out there tracking down Hunter Biden to get his side of the IMPEACHMENT story.
I’m sure he has lot’s to add. He could tell us all sorts of things.
Impeachment. This should be interesting. I know what a Pyrrhic victory is, but is there a term for when you lose a battle you start and destroy yourself in the process?
Yes, it is called “being a Democrat.”
Heya, Sven, Paddy and Mac!
Had to leave CasaK early this morning to take LambiePieK’s car into PMK’s shop while she did her Friday telecommute routine.

Thank god, Fatwa. I had pictures of your leg stuck in a gopher hole while an out of control lawnmower ran circles around you.
Was the gopher riding the lawnmower?
Unlike a member of this household who shall remain unnamed, I do not use nylon cable ties to defeat the dead man’s switch on the mower.
As such, I’m not too worried about Sven’s scenario. 🙂
