I almost wasn't gonna post this morning. I really wasn't feelin' the love.

 But then I thought, there's just entirely too much whacky shit going on in the world - if I don't comment on all of it, who will?

... 


That's very white of them. The European Union reversed a brief decision to try to restrict the export of COVID-19 vaccines across the border from Ireland into Northern Ireland. European vaccination campaigns have been struggling as supplies of vaccines on the continent have run low. The decision to invoke an emergency protocol of the Brexit deal was seen as an effort to keep supplies from going from the EU to Britain.
 
But within hours of the decision, which could have put checks on the border between the EU member the Republic of Ireland and British-controlled Northern Ireland, Irish and British officials condemned the move. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he had "grave concerns" while Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster called it "an incredible act of hostility."

And they can retire at 50% salary after 25 years. No wonder the fuckin' state is in as bad a shape as it is. The Teacher's Union's been holding NJ hostage for the better part of 40 years.
... 

... 

JUST WISHFUL THINKING.


I would kill to have a White Castle near me. One's gonna open in Orlando in a few months - the only one in Florida. Hopefully, somewhere down the road...
... 

Now they'll have to bring it in by ship from the Arab States. Makes perfect sense to me.


Keystone XL is an expansion of an existing pipeline, called Keystone, that carries Canadian crude into the U.S. It was first proposed in July 2008 by TC Energy Corp., then known as TransCanada Corp., a pipeline company based in Calgary, Alberta, and ConocoPhillips, which was a joint owner until 2009.
 
The expansion was originally conceived when oil prices were at historic highs—just before the 2008 financial crisis and American shale oil boom—as an artery that would pump 500,000 barrels of Canadian crude more than 1,700 miles from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The line, which is now partially built but not operating, was eventually expected to transport 830,000 barrels of oil 1,210 miles from the Canadian oil sands to Steele City, Neb., where it would link to existing pipelines heading to Gulf Coast refineries.

During a 1994 blackout, L.A. residents called 911 when they saw the Milky Way for the first time. Why? Because they were fuckin' idiots. Duh.

Need proof that there's more than a
 few jerkoffs out there? Here ya go:


Dodger Stadium’s mass COVID-19 vaccination site was temporarily shut down Saturday afternoon when about 50 protesters gathered at the entrance, frustrating hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours.
 
The Los Angeles Fire Department closed the entrance to the stadium — one of the largest vaccination sites in the country — for about an hour starting just before 2 p.m. as a precaution. Several LAPD officers also responded to the scene; a spokeswoman for the department said no arrests were made.

You guys know I love my gadgets. Here's one I got for the garage. I have it on the workbench - works like a friggin' champ.


Get one for yourself here:

The first known speeding ticket issued to an automobile driver in the world actually came on January 28, 1896 and was issued to Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent. Arnold was caught going 8 miles per hour in a 2 mile per hour zone (that's slower than walking normally) and earned him a fine of 1 shilling - about 12 cents at the time.

State Senator Gerald Cardinale, a Republican(?) from Bergen County in Northern Jersey, is the primary sponsor of S3407, introduced Thursday. The bill legalizes possession of six or fewer marijuana plants once Murphy signs a legalization bill into law.
 
“The people of New Jersey made it clear in November that they want to lift the prohibition on cannabis,” Cardinale said in a statement. “Since then, the Legislature has spent three months fumbling around with what should have been a simple task, and complicated the legalization effort with countless fees, licensing and extra layers of bureaucracy.”
 
You go girl.

Adolf Hitler privately rehearsed his speeches. 
Absolutely batshit fuckin' crazy.

Another gadget I like - but this one is four lights for one price. A great idea.

 
A helluva deal for $ 7.00 each!
 Take a look:

... 


That's some seriously sick shit, ain't it?

Some kinda magnificent bastard this guy was.

The Golden Bridge is a 150-metre-long (about 1 1/2 football fields) pedestrian bridge in the Bà Nà Hills resort, near Da Nang, Vietnam. It is designed to connect the cable car station with the gardens and to provide a scenic overlook and tourist attraction. Pretty cool, huh?
... 


Somebody's gotta tell me again what this fuckin' RINO dooshbag has ever done in all the years he's been in office. The fuckin' guy ran for president and still nobody knows what the fuckin' guy has ever done. Who votes for idiots like this guy? Jeez...

The French call shit like this
 'Trompe L'oeil' (“deceive the eye”).

My wife bought the same exact model for us back in December. I find myself using it more and more often. Great item - seriously.


See if this isn't something you should have, too:

Here's something to think about while you're on your way to church this morning:


... 


I really did have a dog that stupid once...
... 


I'll be honest. I couldn't give a rat's ass fuck about how or why they got busted who or where they are or anything else about the story. I just dig the shit outta the headline. It's true.

There's still time to get something for your babe for Valentine's Day. The link to the stuff is at the bottom of the post. Thanks again, guys!

An imprint of a Kamikaze attack on the HMS Sussex, 1945. That'd havta scare the living fuck outta ya if you watch that thing come at ya, huh?

One of my all-time favorite cars. Why the fuck I ever sold mine (and bought a friggin' Caddie no less), I'll never know.
... 


Lincoln's top hat the night he was
 assassinated, in the Smithsonian.
... 

Do yourself (and me) a favor - take a minute and look at the jewelry my wife makes. 
It's not expensive and it's really nice stuff.


You still have time to find something nice for your wife or girlfriend and get it delivered for Valentine's Day.. 




There's a lot more different items of her jewelry available on Etsy. 
It's really nice stuff and the prices include 
free shipping to almost anywhere!

I'm not a true 'prepper' like some really paranoid types I know personally, but I do keep a small stash of important survival shit in my garage. This is one of the items in the box.

  1. Aah,White Castle.we’re lucky we have them all over NW Indy and Chicagoland, I still love them. I don’t remember the last time I had a McD,BK or a Wendy’s.But I get my Whitey’s about once a month.
    Love the quotes from 1957, My neighbors son just finished his Elevator Constructor apprenticeship. His wage is now 63.00 per hour, I knew all the skilled trades were pretty much all over 50.00 per hour it I didn’t think they had eclipsed 60.00 per. Hell he told me union laborers are knocking on the door of 50.00 per hour. How can a small time business man afford those rates
