Yes, atheists usually take Monday as their day of rest!

Just an aside. The “Pink Pound”…In the late 80’s a gay barclub opened very close to where I worked in Camden, London. It was always busy. About 20 years ago in Dublin there was a bar called “Inn on the Liffey” (after the river that flows through the city). Nearby a new one called “Out on the Liffey” was established. I always thought that was a…[Read more]

@jakelafort – It would take some good coaching for me to figure out that reference.

@Autumn – Yes, but I still hunt great sharks 🙂

I was once asked by a group of guys in a bar what team I supported. I replied “I don’t follow any team”. I overheard one of them say “Oh, he is not one of us”. No, thankfully I am not and I don’t ever want to be…..

@Encog, My attorney once gave me good advice back in the day and I still have all my hair.

 Sounds like big trouble. You’re going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you’ll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special messages. Acapulco shirts. Get the…[Read more]

When asked to define the word “woman” by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Jackson replied “I am not a biologist”.

This was the correct answer to give as it was asked by someone not to elicit an answer but to let her voters know that she had asked it. It was the same reason she was “only asking questions” about guns and CRT. Blackburn was upset that she did…[Read more]

@Encog, Sometimes even sending lawyers, guns and money don’t work when the shit has hit the fan 🙂

It was the best line of questioning the current iteration of the GOP could come up with. Ted Cruz must leave a trail of slime on the ground when he moves. Tucker looks like he wants to use ratio decidendi as his new safe phrase. Oh Marjorie you must have thought about him in that way!

Thanks Strega, you are welcome as always 🙂

@Simon – the self-domestication of the human race must have happened before we started cooperating. We were hunting big game by around 500,000 years ago. We must have been breeding cooperatively from around 2 million years ago.

By “we” do you mean just Homo sapiens or are you including others like  Homo erectus where co-operative food sharing an…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

@Enco –

Reg, But do you know if it’s Anil Seth who wrote the book. Or is he dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead? 😁

Jim, I think he is alive but maybe not as we know it. Man, I can really clingon to a bad pun. Sorry, its’ just a silly phaser I’m going through and now it is time to bow out via the starboard side.

To prove that he is alive he w…[Read more]

I was told that proverb at a “working lunch” yesterday by a Polish colleague. I think it was not until the Warsaw Pact was dissolved around 1990 that the Russians left….45 years after the end of WW2.

The Polish have a saying along the lines that “Once the Russians arrive they will never leave”.

Yes, Just right click and “Copy video url at the current time”. You can skip a lot of the unnecessary chatter and introductions at the start.
