The Isolated Blurt Thread XXIX: No Whining

[Fata Morgana]

I dream about that.

Since 2000 or so, there hasn't been a point when I've been completely unplugged for more than 24 hours.

Sometimes I fantasize about a zombie apocalypse so there's no Internet connection. Then we could all go out for a nice meal and a few drinks without everyone sat with their heads down, tapping on their phones. You know being all retro and actually TALKING. Then I remember pubs and restaurants won't be open in a zombie apocalypse and realise I'm an imbecile.

 

[Fata Morgana]

I really want the next blurt so I can call it Cunts & Whiners Only.

I call it life, and reading.

Of course, your job is a bit more important, and lucrative than anything I've ever had.

When I won it, I SO wanted to call it The Passive-Aggressive Blurt Thread, but I was still "new" and it wouldn't do for my moseying through the general board persona to actually understand the back-biting that's going on in all those little coarsely whispered knifings.

I got away with a little jab because the number was something like 17 or 18 and I made some reference to the summer After High School.

Maybe a zombie apocalypse that shuts down the Internet and makes mostpeople stay indoors, BUT leaves all the pubs and restaurants magically open. No reservations! Table of your choice! Fast service!

Come on, zombies. Make this happen.

EMP pulse.

If you can get me a low yield tactical nuke, a Cessna with autopilot, and a parachute, I can make this happen.

uh excuse me

but when the zombie apocalypse happens, one wouldn't want to be sitting out in the open, having fun right before they eat your brains.

Who buys the computers?

Sorry, I thought they were naming the new thread, not getting us to drink for free.

Last text I got? Picture of a KitchenAid mixer. And all I'm thinking is, "Show me your tits."

I have been on Lit too long.

I like my mixer, but photographing it?

One of the really lovely things about meeting with a litster recently and her saying, have you any photos of...house/garden/ pets etc, was i could open my photo library and just not worry about the lit tit and similar pictures and scroll through. Sharing o photos over a table and a drink has become increasingly hazardous.

She's been wanting one for five years and just took the plunge. She's like a proud new mother.

I know what you mean! I have to be very careful when I open my photo library in public.

The ape had to go away for work, so I had a snore free night. I've decided they're overrated.

 

[Saint Peter]

Snores or apes?

 

[pete]

ha, wow.
the ape?

 

[dolf]

Snores or apes?

Snores

ha, wow.
the ape?

Yes, my ape. I love him for his brains.

 

[pete]

Snores

Yes, my ape. I love him for his brains.

[Saint Peter]

Nope.

That might explain the look on his face when I say it...

 

[trysail]

My country has been stolen from me.

I'm being offered a choice between a pandering demagogic economic illiterate who believes in Santa Claus and unicorns and a crackpot.

I simply cannot stand the sound of that woman's voice. I really don't think I can stay sane having to listen to it for the next four years.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our veterans and those who serve today. Tonight we are honored to stand here as parents of Capt. Humayun Khan and as patriotic American Muslims with undivided loyalty to our country.

Like many immigrants, we came to this country empty-handed. We believed in American democracy — that with hard work and the goodness of this country, we could share in and contribute to its blessings.

We were blessed to raise our three sons in a nation where they were free to be themselves and follow their dreams. Our son, Humayun, had dreams of being a military lawyer. But he put those dreams aside the day he sacrificed his life to save the lives of his fellow soldiers.

Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son "the best of America." If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America.

Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership. He vows to build walls and ban us from this country.

Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future. Let me ask you: Have you even read the U.S. Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. In this document, look for the words "liberty" and "equal protection of law."

Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery? Go look at the graves of the brave patriots who died defending America — you will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.

We can't solve our problems by building walls and sowing division. We are Stronger Together. And we will keep getting stronger when Hillary Clinton becomes our next President.​

You know what happens with right americans.

I offer marriage.


I would have been happier with Mccain. I'm petrified with a faux trump

 

[JohnnySavage]

There's no one more surprised that Trump is the R nominee, then Trump.

 

[Disgustipated]

I thought the ape bolted after the kids decided to hate him

 

[Saint Peter]

Things change.

I hope dolf is happy. It is nice to see her posting again.
