Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[Buster Highmen]

Watch two neighbors make the most of social distancing with a beer catapult



Quarantine doesn't mean you can't enjoy a drink out front with your neighbors. You simply have to sit in your separate yards and shoot beers to each other via catapult.

This science fair-style ingenuity comes to you courtesy of two friends in Walla Walla, Washington, who held a "socially isolated beer gathering" so good it had to be captured on video.

Silverton is much more high tech:

Don't worry too much they'll have forgotten why they're there.

Do you know the story behind the picture? The guy in the middle in English, he told his parents he was going to France to be a gamekeeper, then he dropped out of contact. Months later somebody realized it was him in the middle of this pic that had just been published somewhere.

Why is that one guy's eyes blacked out?

He's training for a night mission.

The GOP's America. Ain't it great? MAGA!

[Deebased]

When I read this, I better understand how Hitler had followers until the end.

Because he somehow convinced the majority of the population the minority was dumber and not deserving of respect much less life?

You'll fit right in Kamerad

[Deebased]

Keep trying. Someday, even if just by chance, you’ll figure it out.

Oh its understood and laughable. Reminiscent of everyones trite unremarkable existence.

Keep being the power. Those of us without daddy issues will sustain the fight.

I hope we can meet someday. I'm really more fun in person.

Can confirm.

I spent a wonderful day in Butte MT with Wooley12 and Mrs. Wooley. Also two Wooley-nephews who have got to be two of the best behaved children on planet earth.

Wooley can certainly be a numbskull here on TGR. But in person he is a really nice guy with a great wife and family.

Is he wearing his mask in the wrong direction?

[The AD]

I wonder if the anti-mask crowd is also against sneeze guards for salad bars?

Strike 12. Keep trying. People on here and people in your “peer group” appreciate you being distracted.

It was a Flying Deuces reference.

Foreign Legion... forgetting.

Nevermind.

[Rasputin]

they hum
and they're crunchy to step on
they also get in your hair (if you have any)
but
basically just make a noise for a few weeks

You are understating the enormity of their "humming".

thread drift - any idea how they know to emerge on a 17 year cycle?

[Viva]

Think about it.

[XXX-er]

3-minutes...come on, you're being awfully generous there.

She said he was great ... both strokes

[old goat]

I'll take cicadas over vuvuzelas any day.

[old goat]

If you see any of these guys around I'd start to worry but probably not until then.

American Legion, not Foreign Legion, genius. : -- )

[KenJongIll]

Saw that and was wondering if that was a really bad thing. We don't get then here.

What do they do?

Nothing bad really. It’s not really summer till the cicadas start singing.
In the really big years, it can be like the entire atmosphere is humming, not just when the bugs near you are singing, but the millions in the surrounding miles.

[KenJongIll]

I'll take cicadas over vuvuzelas any day.

Yeah, I don’t really find it annoying...I think it’s cool. Reminds me of when I was a kid during the summer. Brood xix is supposedly coming a few years early this year here. Haven’t heard any yet, maybe because it’s been pretty cool...

MSNBC Reporter Mask Shames a guy....didn’t go well for him. Fucking media is so self righteously stupid.

Seems a lot of the people you saw out this weekend on your tv are not the majority.

"It is utterly soothing to fly fish for trout. All other considerations or worries drift away and you couldn't keep them close if you wanted. Perhaps it's standing thigh deep in a river with the water passing at the exact but varying speed of life. You easily recognize this mortality and it dissipates into the landscape.

What a whiny little bitch that mayor is. Need to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, dude.

[Benny Profane]

He should hold a rock festival or something in the middle of town to raise revenue. No masks!

I think the sound is pretty cool, too. That said I typically only hear them once a year when I visit Chicago in the summer. I can imagine it would get tiresome after a while.
