News Roundup

(just in time for New Year’s Eve!

So let’s stagger on with the news:


...that’s because they have less to give, plus they have high standards for service which today’s snowflake yoof can’t provide.


...just out of curiosity:  when the fuck did a couple’s sleeping arrangements move into the public domain?


...because of course they are.

In the Dept. of Education:


...and he did, by golly.

News from the Animal World:


...I’m just surprised he didn’t beat it to death with his huge clanging brass balls.


...keyword:  Florida (duh).

Immigration News:


...fuck me, when the place is getting too rough for Superman

And speaking of crime:


...this item sponsored by Captain Obvious breakfast cereal.

In Sex Medicine News:


...burned through that first upgrade already, huh?

Now it’s the turn of link-free INSIGNIFICA:

 

And in Showbiz News:


...relax, no pics of Gwynnie.  Instead, let’s look back at her Mom, Blythe Danner, who always was a hottie:

She was (and still is) classier than her silly daughter.

And she’s still a GILF (in her 80s, FFS):

We should all age that well…

And remember, kids:  the Comments are open field in the Roundups.  Play nicely.

Quote Of The Day

From some guy in Florida:

“If you look back to the Great Depression, the house was only three times the average salary. Now, it is eight times the average salary.  The car was 46% of the salary [back then], the car today is 85% of the salary. And here’s the craziest part:  [residential] rent then was 16% of the average salary, it is now 42% of the average salary.”

I’d love to see the same stats for groceries and electricity.  On the other hand, maybe not.

Quote Of The Day

From Austin Bay:

“As for escaping to Texas, please stay away. It’s absolutely terrible down here. We have hurricanes and tornadoes and sweltering summers and gazillions of feral hogs. The worst of it:  increasingly terrible traffic thanks to tax migrants fleeing California.”

What he said.  Our local traffic around Plano/Frisco/McKinney looks on occasion like the traffic I encountered in L.A. back in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

He forgot to mention guns.  We have lots and lots of evil guns here too, and a bunch of rednecks who love them.

Relative Pricing

As Loyal Readers all know, New Wife is currently back in the Former Racist Republic to dote over the latest grandson.  While there, of course, she has been shopping up a storm — which I don’t mind because of the exchange rate (R1.00 ZAR = US$0.05).

And as long as she spends it on food, I don’t care.  Here, for example is what she’d pay for pigs-in-a-blanket at the supermarket:

For the mathematically-challenged, that works out to thirty of those freshly-baked puppies for US$5.

When people talk about the evils of inflation, let me remind everyone that when I left the Racist Republic in 1986, the exchange rate was about 50 cents (SA) to the dollar (US).  That’s what an annual “official” inflation rate of ~15% will do to your currency over thirty-odd years.

Anyway, after getting several pics of that nature, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll head over to Dunkin Donuts.  That’ll show her.
