Fatwa Arbuckle: Misanthropologist

Happy Presidents’ Day, Wheelizens!

Har! Lurve teh thread pic Mac. (‘Cause I like that particular meme a bunch.)

Have a fun-filled day of looking at leaks and reroof projects on the agenda; guess I won’t be shopping for a new mattress or HDTV like so many of our fellow citizens will do today. 😉

BBL.

Good morning and happy President’s Day, GN! Hi, Fatwa.

Always wonderful to see Fatwa whenever he travels to SoCal. Always the gracious and entertaining guest, although he went waaaaaaaaaay over the top with those candle comments.

Fatwa: sorry you were ill the next day -- both me and Mrs Sven felt fine yesterday. It was disappointing though that our dive bar produced such awful food -- new cooks and all maybe. It really was not too good.

Yesterday, to loud cheers, Air Force one flew really low over the Daytona 500 crowd. I’m surprised, but haven’t looked hard, that the MSM hasn’t headlined the story with “Trump Panics NASCAR Crowd” complete with reaction from panicked fans that thought the plane was on a suicide run to kill them.

Happy Presidents’ Day. Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!

Same here. I hope to get a good start on my taxes, instead.

Fatwa? Over the top? That’s hard to believe!

He was good for the most part, but then when he started drawing out the marketing campaign for “The Sweat of Brad Pitt’s Testicles Candle” it got to be too much.

Did he include voice-overs?

Just broke a drinking glass in the kitchen. On the counter. Glass everywhere. It’s amazing how much broken glass there is in a glass.

Hi, Paddy.

And even after you clean it all up, there’s more.
Even weeks later, you find more broken glass.

Maybe if I get lucky, I’ll find that dead rat’s missing head too.

In Scottsdale again taking Mom to the dentist. Harper and I both are here. It’s been fun so far.

Hi, Sven, Paddy and dv8!

…although he went waaaaaaaaaay over the top with those candle comments.

I took my cues re appropriateness -- or lack of same -- from you and Mrs. Sven, sir.

“The Sweat of Brad Pitt’s Testicles Candle”

That is a pernicious prevarication; I only went as “far” as the Caitlin Jenner-scented candle. Are you trying to get me in trouble with my wife? (I remind you that, being a ginger, she’s capable of damned near anything if sufficiently vexed.) 🙂

“Trump Panics NASCAR Crowd”

Heh. That does rather sound like something the MSM would do.

Bummer about the broken drinking glass; it’s like those things explode when dropped. Paddy’s quite right about finding glass bits for the next several months. Don’t go barefoot for a while…

Did he include voice-overs?

As always, those are available for a modest up-charge. 👿

Harper and I both are here. It’s been fun so far.

Hope the fun continues for both of you.

BBL.

Rewatching this from 1996 -- the invasion of WCW by Scott Hall-The Outsiders -- I can’t help but think of Trump winning the election in 2016. Even if you aren’t a pro wrestling fan, Scott Hall’s attitude is perfect.

It was probably the best work ever in wrestling. WCW is Ted Turner’s effort to compete with Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Federation. The brains behind WCW belong to Eric Bischoff. The storyline was that WWF had sent Hall-Nash-Hogan to destroy WCW. No one at the time knew if it was for real or not. Good stuff.

Not only do I believe all women all the time, but now I understand that all women are beautiful.

The number of former DOJ personnel calling on AG Barr to resign is now over 2000. I wonder how many former DOJ employees are out there? Apparently, DOJ currently employs over 105, 000, so I imagine the number of living former DOJ folks must be quite high, meaning the 2000 number means nothing.

Downloading and sorting the list, 29 worked under Kennedy; 78 worked under Johnson; 579 go back as far as Carter; and 249 list Nixon. 233 claim to have worked under Trump.
