More like internet outrage that got me canned resulted in posting a warning for those that are easily offended and need their safe spaces blanky.
Is there a place where I can re-outrage at the content warnings? Perhaps e-protest and push my morals on people that I feel that they're trying to decide what I should and should not view and thus are pushing their morals on me?
I'm seeing Steel Panther tomorrow night. I would gladly wear a TiB shirt if I had one, but unless someone is overnighting one to me I don't think it's happening. I'm worthless today. I got back from Tennessee just after midnight last night. I'm on my third cup of coffee and I still haven't even unpacked the car.
I went to a renaissance festival yesterday. My girlfriend's circle of friends were shocked I hadn't gone to one before. My awkward ass response: "I...(sigh)...I'm not that kind of white people." For the first time, it was....interesting. Food on a stick? Cool. Corsets and titties? Cool. Axe throwing, archery and hammer swinging competitions? Cool. People taking their favorite LotR character that seriously? Eh....$25 to walk around this?...Ehh....People in elaborate costumes charging for a selfie? Ehhh....A bunch of shit Etsy shat out for ridiculous prices ($8100 for a wire dragon sculpture? WHO THE FUCK BUYS THAT?) Ehhhhhhhh....... Notable excerpts: Where are the serfs dying of dysentery? Awful lot of literate people with mouths filled with teeth for this to be "realistic" I can't buy her as a slave? Well, why not? Also, what do you mean I can't shit here? (To a screaming child in a stroller) You look like a great place to piss... Fuck strollers.
What are you guys using for hosting pictures? Photobucket is sucking more and more dong every year and they don't allow any pics that are even PG13
The actual girls you'd want to see in this outfit are not the ones frequenting/working at a renaissance fair. The organizers have to start hiring the cosplay models.
I have fond memories of steam and plot shows. Because everybody at rural shows around here are friendly. Everyone says hello, nods hello, and are up for talking about anything. Nobody is acting like a drunken maggot, people throw their trash away so it's safe for all ages. And you can still drink if you want and there's always a corn/pig roast somewhere.
Echoing another reason why your nearest ComiCon is a great thing to attend even if you don't like geek culture. It's cheap to get into, the people-watching factor is 10/10 (that's Kentucky Waffle House level) and if you get bored just go get shitfaced and heckle a has-been celebrity, right to their face.
I just copy / paste the image into old threads around here at TiB by editing old posts I made, and then hotlink back to the post. Or imgur or SmugMug.
International delight has come out with Reese cup flavored coffee creamer. This could be a straight up bottled miracle or more disappointing than a strip club in Utah. I'll report my opinion here later today.
It's pretty damn good, I was not disappointed. I hope that ID continues to produce it. It's right up there with their French vanilla, which has always been my go to creamer.
I present to you the most terrible take in the entire history of terrible takes: An anti-communist. Pearls, prepare for clutching.
That tweet string still only has 1 retweet and 2 likes with no conversation generated. How did you find it, and what outrage related twitter feeds do you follow?
Mad Pooper news! The Mad Pooper apparently now has a "Spokesperson": "He said he was speaking on the behalf of Colorado Springs jogger “Shirley” and said she is sorry for her actions. The man also said “Shirley” can no longer control herself after undergoing the reassignment surgery. He added the jogger’s actions are protected under the First Amendment and the government cannot control when and where she decides to do her business."
