So does Bernie.

So we get to choose between Oprah and Tom Hanks?

I think this gal would make a fine politician. In which country I'm not sure yet.

Alienating and antagonizing from the gitgo does not make a fine politician. :headshake

But whatever her stance on the issues, she'll stick to her guns.

:bolt:

All you need, to succeed in politics, is to say something DUMB and LOUD.

"Fracking chemicals in groundwater actually CURE cancer!"

"Affordable healthcare could potentially save the life of the NEXT HITLER!"

"Removing basic science literacy from public policy will IMPROVE things!"

"Unregulated, profit-based industries will voluntarily act ethically, TRUST ME!"

Sure seems that way, Flint.

Just keep throwing lies at the wall. Then keep repeating the ones that stick. Those need not be honest or ethical. It worked for The Don - and for Hitler.

If anyone would, you'd know about repeating schtick ad infinitum...[/childishemotionalbusinessschoolgraduates]


:stickpoke:p:

I've told you and told you....

Not of this Earth.:3_eyes:

Only believe things said once. So the FBI clearly bugged Trump Tower on orders from Hilary. The Don only said that once. So it must be true.

Did he just call himself a liar?

I confuse so easily anymore, I--I just can't tell.:(

The Don routinely throws things on a wall to see what sticks. Everything he says once must be true. He says so.

But he has been doing it so long that all his walls stink.

Does not matter. His supporters smell just as bad.

I think someone needs to do a welfare check on TW.

No kidding.

Apparently you are a right wing extremist without any sense of humor - just like The Don. Anything that make a joke of him and the The Don puts out a contract.

Admit it. Extremists like shit when it sticks.

Are you really the alter-ego of Henry? Nasty tweets abound.

:corn:

Oh, yeah, me & Henry agree on everything...

Unless someone out there besides Henry believes Henry is the only person that matters, I figure full agreement is less than likely.

Evening Standard

The UK is currently experiencing the clearance of a large chunk of spectrum from the top end of the UHF terrestrial TV band to allow for the expansion of 5G mobile phone/data services.
Just think of the benefits. Instead of sitting at home watching tripe on your 55" mega screen, you will be able to shamble along the High Street watching tripe on your small screen.
At least you will meet new people that way.



When you walk into them. :rolleyes:

Not shown are the so many walking while only watching their smart phones. That threat did not exist 15 years ago.

Most changes in ifrastructure seems to be geared toward ant-stupidity these days. :right:

That's pretty much Carruthers' entire post.

Hot dog water, aka Snake Oil.

There is nothing new under the Sun.:)

You wanna see a dog lose his mind?

Boil some hot dogs and let the pup have the water after it's cooled.

Friend. For. Life.

Oh Noes!!!!

In the light of such a catastrophe, will KY qualify for Federal Aid? ;)

Hah!

After he came down, was he still high?

Highly likely.

Five tons? Does that include the mud in which it became embedded in that bad winter of 1979?

Hell, we have dually pickups that weigh 10,000 lbs.

New Australian law requires that all partners must say 'yes' – out loud

So do me, do me now, is not sufficient? :blush:

Yabbut how are you going to prove anyone said it out loud? Does the law require everyone to make a sex tape, too?

Mutes will sue for discrimination. People with laryngitis will be climbing the walls.

The US Embassy in London is holding an online auction of items deemed surplus to requirements.

Bizarrely, one of the lots is two pallets of 100 x 12 toilet rolls.
Surely they'd be used in the normal course of events?
I wonder if perhaps they have a use by date on them.

No doubt used for diplomatic despatches.

Maybe they changed dispensers.

Mini Jumbos?

At first I thought it was toilet paper.

Then I looked at the calculator on my desk.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...24867ba919.jpg

2.25 inches wide.

I guess the rolls in the picture are 200 meters long, and the full rolls are 90mm in diameter. They would fit my calculator perfectly.

Nice thought, but it does appear that "Desna Mini Jumbos" are indeed toilet paper, despite the surprisingly narrow 2.25" width. Though I wouldn't put it past a large institution to have toilet paper tough and smooth enough to serve as calculator rolls.

Ha!

Well, that explains why they are surplus. WTF? 2.25 inches wide? You'll likely get poop on your fingers. Americans aren't going to put up with that.

The second listing, on the auction page linked above, is for more conventionally sized toilet rolls.

The plot thickens. I wonder if the paper does?

The ultraviolet fluorescent powder in the paper is probably past its expiration date. They can no longer shine their UV lamps on desks and cabinets to see who's not washing their hands after going to the bathroom. At least that's the cover story. The actual reason is classified and has to do with embassy security. You can probably find out easy enough though if you know someone in MI5. It's kind of a running joke there.

I figured it* out; it's a 2.25" CORE, the strip is 90mm x 200M. 90mm is 3.5", which is more reasonable.


*it being the weird dimensions listed, not the reason they're selling them.

Gallagher on TP:
See, it's frivolous, superfluous products in America. Like scented toilet paper... is the dumbest thing in the world! The only thing you don't have to make smell good cause it's gonna get fucked up. Who is that smell there to impress? My thumb? If you want to impress my thumb, make it thicker in the middle.

I like some of the furniture, dresser and highboys.

Toilet paper should have doily patterns. That make it more cultured.

The right consistency of shit would fit neatly into the patterns and even enhance them

THUMB?! HOW THE HELL IS HE USING TOILET PAPER?!?!?!

I have to admit that that part of his routine has bothered me for twenty years or more.
I guess every family and/or part of the world has their own way of doing things.
Perhaps some of our more adventurous posters can do some investigation, so to speak, and report back.

(one of the) the dumbest thing(s) in the world: moist towelettes for the bum.

Get high. You'll still be puzzled, but, at least you'll be high.:fumette:

I've been smelling plenty of pot in DC since the law changed, but most people are discretely smoking it, even if outdoors.

This morning however, there was a guy smoking a pretty big joint at the outside seating of Potbelly right next to my building. This is corporate America type stuff. It's amazing how things have changed.
