Nicely done, OUC! Shuffle the deck and lay 'em down for our enjoyment. I got a kick out of the UPC hair-do. Seatbelt ticket from a guy on a motorcycle really makes you go "hmmmmm". Ooooo, I've seen the look on Jonah's wife's face - chilling. The last one - I've been GPS confused a couple of times and wished I had a paper map!

Me dino can play chess but I never got a chessboard for Christmas.
Google maps? Yesterday for looking outside and seeing everything wet instead of dry also reminded me not to trust a Googled weather forecast.
The meme with the kangaroo made me think of my ex-wife.
Speaking of women? Hey, Frosty! Don't you know it ain't nice to scare them like that?

I see my yearning for better things left me with a typo despite having a spell checker.
Oh, the shame!

Whatever you call it, these were all top notch.

Believe it or not, living next door, I've only visited twice, once to buy a car, good deal, good car and once on a stop, sailing to Baltimore for the Christmas Boat Parade in the Harbor. I think Giuliani was Mayor then but it was clean and safe by the Hudson, a few blocks from the Towers.
BUT, we hear the news every day like it was in our state, (Corupicticut) and you couldn't pay me to go to the city these days.

Me too. ps, TGIFfunnies has been published

AYAcoocookiller just jumped in my head.
Probably could keep this up all night.
Got way better thi9ngs to do.

Should be "AYAtoilet".

Those are the one's not wanting to cut your head off! Not wanting EVERYONE to be muzzies.
Don't know what parts of the koran they read because it seems every other page someone is cutting something off someone else!

Where do I go to find the not so radical Islam? Didn't know that existed even.

My dad did have this on a 78 record. I had the first couple of verses recognized and would sing them to the exhaust sound of my tractor when I was working in the field. He also liked Hoagie Carmichael's Stardust which was around that same era.

"Trusted news" my ass.

And they are still at it, but since I am not paying for it I don't care. This is one of the best things that has been done since Trump took office, and it's not just a matter of revenge. It's a matter of the idea that there's NO reason for us to pay for news reporting as a matter of routine - or at all. EVER.

Do they smoke some weed and vote D? Yes, the NYT has become a big Marxist machine.

Freaking AWSOME!!!!!

Trump said we might tired of all the winning. Nope, not yet!

I'm not a farmer, but in my area I'm noticing where there used to be corn, wheat, cabbage, etc. year after year the fields are now not planted. The only new thing showing up is solar panels covering more good farmland. It makes me wonder how expensive the Mamdani government grocery stores in NYC are really going to be when the stuff needed to stock the shelves becomes more scarce.

It baffles me how people (I have known in NYC) who have run free-market businesses successfully
for decades can be so utterly irrational when evaluating government and politicians.
The NYT has been very effective at gaslighting its readers.

The details I'm noting are not public.

Here is the sophomoric government site:

NYC is hoping that a Dem gets the WH in 3 years. THEN the bailouts will start.

No, I saw it, but I'd like to understand the details to be convinced that its economic.
I haven't found details online. If you can point me to some links, I'd appreciate it.
(I see the BBG47 as an example of Star Wars' death star.)

Yes to all, FFA.

Currently living in NYS means I have to file a NYS tax return and on it is a section dedicated to additional taxes levied on people who live in NYC, not to mention the added bureaucratic red tape in filing a return. I'm immediately glad I don't live in NYC. Add on what's going on there makes me even more glad that it's about 400 miles away. My first experience in NYC (ca 1990) was to witness a mugging in broad daylight where some members of the gang were acting as crowd control saying, "Stay back people! Can't you see there's a mugging going on here?". My wife and I were not only fearful, we were nonplussed at the cheekiness of the whole affair and the fact that so many people were just walking by like it was any other day. It was a rude awakening to say the least. We were being ushered by railroad personnel above ground between Penn Central and NY Central to catch a connecting train to Florida (don't have to do that anymore, thankfully). I have NO desire to ever go to NYC other than connecting train or plane. I know folks who go to NYC and have a good time, but I'd rather go salmon fishing on Lake Ontario - thank you very much.

I thought I explained how BBG-47 isn't a defenseless target. Did you miss it, or disagree?

Per congressional reports 95% of traffic through the Red Sea is Asia to Europe, not to the US.
Per industry statistics about 10% of shipments to the US went through the Red Sea and therefore affected.
As I stated above, Europe is the primary beneficiary of anti-piracy efforts there and US taxpayers bear the costs.
BBG47 is an overpriced sitting duck target. Perhaps Trump can put his golden name on some attack subs or
cyber systems instead.

Somali pirates absolutely affect US goods, and require longer force projection. However, shutting down pirates does not require BBG-47. That is for China.

I agree on the shipping consumption issue, but the location of the piracy (Houthis) currently
has little affect on US goods which cross the pacific unthreatened while Europe is the
destination of the shipping being threatened by Houthi pirates.
