…then what is three?
I was thinking “ridiculous”, at first. Then the more I looked at it, the more I started thinking, “Why not three?”
It was on sale at PSA for just over 12 hundred bucks until they ran out of stock after seven hours.

My favorite Greek restaurant in the whole world, and one of the best dining experiences ever. I went back there late in 2017 with Mr. and Mrs. TrueBrit, and enjoyed it even more.
Sadly, Kolossi is no more (no doubt since nuked by Covidiocy, like so many were); it’s been renamed “attica” [sic] and it might still be Greek, but it doesn’t look anything like the old place. I mean, there’s now even room to walk between the tables, FFS.
Raw, unadulterated suckage.
Went early to vote in the Republican primary elections yesterday. The place looked like an AARP/VFW convention, no doubt because Republican youngins in my district have things like jobs. Anyway, my local choice for the U.S. House did okay:
…but that wasn’t unexpected. Come November, I expect him to win again against whomever the Democrats place on the altar.
In other local news:
…damn, I thought Pax had it in the can, but Cornyn’s got huge support from the RINO element, and he outspent Paxton by something like 10:1. Oh well… it’s going to be a close-run thing even with most of Wesley Hunt’s voters (Hunt is more conservative than either of the two, so his support will likely go to Paxton and not to the RINO).
The TexGov primary was predictable:
…which means a reelection in November seems likely. (I know that many Texas Republicans don’t think too highly of Abbot, and I can see why. But I agree with his actions about 80% of the time, and I’m not going to let perfection be the enemy of the good.)
Ditto the vote for Dan Patrick. (The position of Lt. Governor is an important one in Texas, unlike in many other states. For one thing, the Lt.Gov sets the agenda for the Texas legislature, which is highly influential. Patrick’s done well in the job, so he’s justifiably popular.)
But Wait! There’s More!
In national news, there’s a Good Thing What Happened in the U.S. House race, over in the Evil Party:
Bye bye Jasmine (who is predictably saying her voters were excluded or “suppressed”, the lying bitch). I have no idea who Talarico is, but he can only be an improvement — assuming, that is, that he wins in November against his Republican opponent, whether Paxton or Cornyn.
Glad to have done my bit.
Yes, it’s time for me to end the suspense and announce the winner of the Parker-Hale / Widow Irish thing.
I’m going to be pulling the winning ticket from the hat* over the weekend, witnessed for its veracity by New Wife and anyone else who happens to be in the house at the time.
So if you haven’t got yourself a ticket but still want the chance, get it done by Saturday midnight (03/07/2026) so that you can be included in Sunday’s drawing.
One quick favor: a number of you did not include your email addy with your entry, and I may have missed a couple as well; so please could all participants send those to kim – at – kimdutoit.com, along with your full name so I can link the names/emails with the tickets. It’ll just make notification all the easier for me. (Yeah I know, I’m an idiot; but it’s been a long time since I last did something like this #OldFartMemoryIssues.)
Good luck, everyone.
*that’s not quite true, there’s no hat involved: each ticket entry is given a number, and then I run an @RAND(x,y) function on the spreadsheet to pick the winner.
Okay, this has to stop. All these candidates… but this one is a serious contender:
You have to know that when the country which gave the world Auschwitz is seen as a better residential prospect for Jews than Britishland… yowzer.
And I can think of quite a few denizens of Hell who are saying, “Okay, enough already.”

German security officials have warned that the conflict between the United States, Israel and the Islamist regime in Iran could result in terror blowback across Europe.
Specifically:
The chairman of the Bundestag’s Parliamentary Control Committee (PKGr), which oversees Germany’s intelligence services, warned on Sunday in comments reported by Die Welt that “retaliatory measures” by pro-Iranian regime terrorists, including “sleeper cells in Europe”, could not be ruled out.
Perhaps if you hadn’t thrown your borders open to all and sundry, there wouldn’t now be any Islamic “sleeper cells” in Europe for you to be afwwwwaid of. (Oh wait… stopping wholesale immigration would have been regarded as “rayyyycisssss” — or however you say that in Krautspeak.)
Well, your own EU governments lit the fire under the cauldron in which you were all playing so nicely together, so enjoy the burning. You fucking incompetent and treasonous assholes.
At least one would hope that European “security forces” (ha!) will finally have a real bunch of terrorists to hunt down and control, instead of concentrating all their effort and budgets on the (non-existent) threats from “the Right” and “fascists”. Yeah, don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
Say hello to the real fascists, Euroweenies. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of statists.
