The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[darkelf9]

Wait I have a joke just to lighten the mood. Why do Scottish people talk through their teeth? Because if they opened their mouths, they'd drown on dry land due to the horizontal rain.

Now where did that unicorn go? Fucking thing keeps running off every time I say America.

such a pretty day outside... pleasantly warm, about 70 degrees, with a light, playful breeze. Got a useful amount of chain-sawing done on the latest tree down, so now it's about stripped back to the trunk ready for the bigger chainsaw.

chickens are busy free-ranging it outdoors, kitten's back inside after an hour or so practicing his speed runs and attempts to get up the big trees. He doesn't get too far up yet, maybe 6', but he's learning.

last night's supper of quesadillas also made a good breakfast, and there's coffee in the pot.

There she goes again, talking in codes. Where are my notebooks??? Damnit!

got around to cleaning out the henhouse... smells delicious now, the hay still full of scent from the summer mowing. Added an additional perch to try and cut back on the squabbling that started when Lucky (the hen with the chicks) decided somewhere in the middle of the regular perch was a good place to sit, putting all the others out of their normal places along the roost.

chickens aren't that bright. Because i moved their feed trough and water dish, and because of the new branch, t took them a good extra half an hour to get into the henhouse tonight, and only then with some hustling from me! Once they did go over the threshold, they seem quite excited by the new perch. I couldn't be arsed to stand and watch them any longer but i'm sure they'll sort themselves out.

Fascinating < In Spock’s voice>

Community Announcement

Still see that Americans and people from the UK think Aussies drink Fosters. Nope we don't. You are being lied to by the advertising companies. We used to drink it but then the company that makes it, which is a Melbourne brewing company, changed the recipe to cater for the OS market, originally the UK. They fucked up the taste so we stopped drinking it decades ago, in the before times last century. So if you don't want to be laughed at when coming to the land down under. Don't order it.

Another smaller announcement, we don't eat shrimp, we eat prawns and we don't put them on BBQ's. We have been telling Americans this for decades, seems it hasn't sunk in yet. Again, just advertising to get Americans to visit Australia. Total bullshit. We only did it cause Americans have trouble with English so we had to put it in American words. Don't say you haven't been told. Sure if you want to look stupid keep calling them shrimp when you come here. We can always do with a laugh. And if you can't take a joke, don't come here. The harder you respond the harder will we wind you up. You can't win.

That's it. You guys can carry on demolishing your democracy now. I need to leave now and take my kangaroo for a walk.

beer....it's Aussie for beer. Just don't order that 4X crap.....*waiting for a Queenslander to chirp up*
I had no idea they brew Fosters in the US, but it's been a while since I was there.

 

[darkelf9]

I bought a Nintendo OLED Switch.

I had to look that one up, not the Nintendo bit the other bit.
I'm waiting to find a reason to by a PS5, wasn't impressed with the initial version.

 

[darkelf9]

I felt the holy spirit leave my body.....I ran out of bourbon

Had to open the single malt scotch.....I'm saved

Men in Lycra

45yr old men wearing lycra are reliving their youth

50yr old men wearing lycra drive to a coffee shop, park around the corner and pretend they walked there

60yr old men wearing lycra only wear it to keep their balls above their knees when they stand up

70yr old men, by the time they get the lycra on it's time to go to bed

 

[Lazaran]

I bought a Nintendo OLED Switch.

Enjoy.

Now the big question is: “What game(a) are you playing”???

 

[darkelf9]

Queen Camilla isn't feeling well. I hope she gets better. She is a beacon of hope for all mistresses out there. You too can be queen.

Luckily she didn't snap a fetlock, otherwise they would of put her down.

 

[pink]

Enjoy.

Now the big question is: “What game(a) are you playing”???

I'm not sure? I've done some searches on best switch games. I see certain games being repeated on lists. For now, I ordered a cheaper Mario game from Walmart that'll be here in 2 days.

Ok, I'm gonna batch. (That was supposed to be bitch)

My texting is so cotton pickin bad. "For" is always "fir." See above for another typo. Ots awful. (Seeeeeeeeeeee) I'm truly not doing it on purpose. Drives me bonkers.

Stupid skunk, waits until I crack my window and sprays everytime. Now my room stinks.

Nausea again tonight and no, I'm not pregnant at 57.

Get the skunk to do the texting, seems pretty clever.

Check your water and check for carbon monoxide.

Then consider what you ate recently.

I had some issues a while back, and I believe it was some saltine crackers or some tortilla chips (or a combination). I stopped eating both and drank some de-carbonated (let it fizz out,) caffeine free Coke for a couple days, and voila.

Nausea is the worst. Get well. Feel better.

 

[Lance_Castro]

Maybe its all the mansplainers causing the nausea. Lol

My money’s on the hypocondria flaring up.

 

[Rainblow]

I love cooking in the autumn. Homemade bread, soups, stews, casseroles the house smells divine.

 

[juttjaw]

I bought a Nintendo OLED Switch.

Good for you! I heard they we sweet. Kid has one. I just went out and bought a PS5 Pro, because I wanted it.

And ladies and gentlemen, there he is.

Lil Lace is nausea personified.

Definitely avoid that.

When I was kid I was forced to go to church

Our local church had to hold three separate services. One normal service, one for the Methodists and a separate one for the Baptists cause both of these groups refused to sit in the same service.

The irony of all this is that the church was called The Uniting Church.

White people make you laugh

A couple of years ago I was channel flicking when I came across a panel show on our national broadcaster the ABC, similar to the PBS in the US. All panel members on this show were white people discussing what is racism and how to define it. That's the bit I found funny. The producers of this show didn't think to invite a local indigenous person to the panel, nor anyone from any of any other ethnic background to sit on the panel. I watched some of it and was thinking, any minute now someone is going to point out the obvious. They never did. Australia likes to taut itself as a multicultural society, but not on the important topics. If you've never been on the receiving end of racism how the fuck do you know what it is, let alone try and define it. As I said I found this laughable. Lets just say the viewing public was not happy.

I think I remember that. Not the smartest move by the ABC. In saying that, usually they are far more inclusive. They are definitely on the left. I’m not sure why you think we aren’t multicultural on important topics. Actually, I have no fucking idea what the hell you're even on about LOL

The fact you aren't is part of the problem. Agree on the ABC but this time they fucked up then had to apologize. Just being blind to the issue. Lots of indigenous people still hurting from the referendum. That was our moment of shame and that gap is growing larger so the white fella solutions are not working and haven't done for decades and it's not going to get any better any time soon now.
