MIA

Spot the missing part(s):

Begging the question:  what is Schrodinger’s Swiss Army Knife?

Well, that would be the above, which contains every possible mini-tool except for the implement in its title.

And Victorinox is now party to this silliness.

I’m just glad I already possess a number of the original knives, all of which contain one or more blades.

And anyone who thinks that a Swiss Army knife could be used as a weapon is a fucking moron.

Mind you, that razor-sharp mini-saw would sure leave a mark if dragged across some scrote’s face…

Just sayin’.

Back Then

Wasting time over at C.W.’s place there’s this little bit of nostalgia, with his comment:

Certainly, my Gran’s did, except her tabletop was covered with a single sheet of green linoleum (don’t ask).

Also at C.W.’s:  he’s been on a tear about the wonderful Alfa Romeo Tipo 105 sports cars of the late 1960s and early 70s, like this one:

This might be my favorite model of them all:  the Giulia GT Junior, with Alfa’s extraordinary 1300cc engine which performed completely out of its weight class.

Want.

Finally, and I hesitate to even say this, he has no business posting pictures of terrible things like this on his website:

Doubleplus want.

I’d call that a Texas BLT, but the bread’s a little on the thin side.

News Roundup

Let’s talk about something interesting.


...yeah, and when pets, joggers or children start getting eaten, then — aargh, I couldn’t be bothered even talking about this foolishness.

On to The Great Cultural Assimilation Project©:


...sounds like an elegant solution to a problem, right there.


...and nobody cares, because CdM is just an excuse for amateurs to wear stupid costumes and drink too much.
#StPatricksDay


...basically, it’s a lab experiment for the U.S., only we’re already doing it bigger and better.

News from The Pulpit:


...and the AP (of course) thinks that this is a Bad Thing.

Then you have what the Catholics would call “the heathens”:


...but if it’s not to Allah, then one of those faiths is gonna kill you, of course.  And speaking of foolishness:


what the hell, they’ve allowed Commies into their clergy, why not the freakos too?  And the final nail in the coffin:


...plans?  I thought that program was pretty much in place already.

And speaking of evil teachers…

In the Dept. of Education:


...gets around, doesn’t she?

Some Pre-Insignifica:


...keyword:  Floriduh.


...when it works on Harvey Weinstein, then she can make that claimUnless, of course, she’s managed to combine the smell of money with the taste of chocolate, in which case all bets are off.


...basically, it’s a Train Smash trifecta:  dubious hairstyle choice, intoxication and a cigarette.

And in even more 

 


...actually, having the Sun King’s genes splashing around in her DNA pool probably explains a great deal about her.

And in the Who She? Dept.:


...bikini by Shein, lips by Michelin.

And that’s the news.

Not Hotel Fucking California

Via Insty, I see this little story:

Hundreds of California cops are fleeing to Texas to escape ‘soft-on-crime’ policies they say have made their jobs ‘pointless’, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Rank-and-file officers up to department chiefs have hit out at state legislators, claiming a succession of ‘anti-law enforcement’ policies have made their work impossible.

Overworked and unsupported, they have instead taken up jobs in Texas and other states that are seen as tough on crime.

Well, if we’re going to have ANY Californians come over here, it might as well be cops…

…as long as they leave their California-law-enforcement attitudes towards guns behind them and act like, say, a country Texas cop from Bastrop, Mineral Wells or somewhere like that, where things like this aren’t eeeeevil.

 

Otherwise, they can just carry on through Texas and head up north to Illinois.  Oh wait, that’s what they’re trying to get away from.

So come on over, folks, and have some Texas BBQ.  Just behave yourselves, and we’ll get on just fine.


Update:  I see that TxGov Abbott has also got into the spirit of the thing.
