Pariah

Vamoose! 😀

As a resident of Washington, and former faculty of Washington State U ... all I can say is that it must come as a shock that a f'ball coaching staff actually was held to rules from their employer.   Don't let the door hit your butt on your way out.
 
So y'all can move about ten miles east and you'll be in Idaho, where they've been sacrificing infants episodically for a long time because it's popular for idiots there not to have their newborns get the DPT vaccination.  Don't come back.

Specifically, this:

 
Well done, Minister Gunner.

It hasn't even been a full day since Colin Powell has passed away from complications of COVID19, and Fox News is already using his death to spread misinformation about vaccines. This is what CNN anchor Don Lemon had to say about that.
 
Meanwhile, Michael Gunner, Chief Minister of Australia's Northern Territory had some choice words for Senator Ted Cruz.

Sorry for your loss, but GRANNY ZOMBIE! does sound like a pretty cool wrestler name.
 
   “She came from beyond the grave to bake cookies and kick a$$!  And she’s all out of chocolate chips!

looks like clickbait to me

I've said it before, and I will say it again: natural selection takes too long.

So passes the last sane Republican. Lord help the others find their way back to common sense.

I did burn one textbook, because it was worth more as fireplace fuel than as a textbook.  And it was worth the $5 I would have got at the buy-back to watch it burn.

Especially if you don't understand it and are going to copy all the wrong things.

Hollywood Rule #1: if it's successful, you must copy it.

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need   I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet   I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life   I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night   Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me   Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood   I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life   I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life   I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

In a little cafe
Just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks
That made my mouth water   So I started walking her way
She belonged to bad man Jose
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah   "Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone and the night is so long"   So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
And I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss, so exciting   Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamos, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah   "Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone and the night is so long"   Then the music stopped
When I looked the cafe was empty
Then I heard Jose say
"Man, you know you're in trouble plenty"   So I dropped my drink from my hand
And out through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to Jose, yeah   "Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone and the night is so long"

Home by the sea
Home by the sea
Home by the sea
Home by the sea   Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Stealing through the dark of night
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
Checking to the left and the right
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
Something doesn't feel quite right   Help me, someone, let me out of here
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
Welcome to the home by the sea   Comin' out the woodwork through the open door
Pushing from above and below
Shadows but no substance in the shape of men
Round and down and sideways, they go
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
Then as one they sign and they moan   Help us, someone, let us out of here
Living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time, we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea   Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you   Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Things that go to make up a life
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
Waiting for the morning life
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
Things that go to make up a life   Help us, someone, let us out of here
'Cause living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea   Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you   Sit down, sit down, sit down
'Cause you won't get away
No, with us you will stay
For the rest of your days   Sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you, oh

My mom's cousin just died. He had been fighting cancer for years, and his condition was diagnosed as terminal a few months ago. He will be missed.

The Kraken, knowing they need to sell the Seattle market on the new sport in town, have prepared this handy-dandy resource guide to learn the sport, including videos.;
 
This should help too.

I am someone who succeeded in getting two awful astronomy puns inserted into Austin's street map.  The story is longer than I want to relate here, but you can find streets named "Transit Circle" and "Sidereal Drive" in north Austin.  Those were my idea.  A pity they don't intersect.

I don't believe it.
 
I saw the end of the Miami/Jacksonville game with my own eyes, and I still don't believe it.

Tweet of the year in sports, from Purdue:
 
We just beat the #2 out of Iowa.

We can panic if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Because your friends don't panic
And if they don't panic
Well, they're no friends of mine 

"Yeah, I was still gonna tap that."

Just heard on All Things Considered: Tomorrow is the 42nd anniversary of the publication of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There will be coverage of this cultural milestone, on its most important anniversary.
