 Your love is like  painful hangnails


RIP Charlie Watts (80) Rolling Stones drummer. He had to drop out of this year's tour, on medical advice. He had recently rescued a greyhound.

Amazon, out of the news for 48 hours, announced it will be opening department stores.
  • cashiers have to pee in bottles
  • Intravenous feeding tubes eliminate need for lunch breaks
  • restockers are monitored per-item and don't get paid to talk to customers
  • many items still come from China and customers must wait in the store 4 weeks to get them
  • customers advised that checkout is quicker with the Amazon Chip in their foreheads
  • UPS will not carry your purchases to your car


Famous naked picture and video site Onlyfans is now banning sexually explicit content because banks and payment services demand it. This is a site that allows people to make money by performing acts that people pay to watch. Not anymore, apparently. Visa/MC and banks have been tightening up on what they'll allow, as we saw recently with Pr0nhub. Nudity will be allowed, but there has been  no word on how far things can go.

Looks like Onlyfans is trying to flush itself down the loo. Adult content is what made Onlyfans.

Star feels betrayed

Also interesting is how many sites are affected by the payment/banking industry and why.
It's very sad to note that the government jumped in and stopped people from earning money during the Great Flying AIDS Business Shutdown. Now that some have turned online, that avenue is being shut down too. Why is this? As we know, the banks and credit cards' prohibition is arbitrary and not new. Also participating in the downfall are religious groups, who want pr0n off the internet. 

KEEP YOUR RELIGION OFF MY PRoN. And everything else.

AT&T denies data breach after hacker auctions 70 million user database

Sir, I think we've been hacked!
Nope.
No, really, we've been hacked.
Nope.
Sir, our IT department tells is there is a 70 million users database for sale.
No there isn't.
It's right here on the Dark Web.
I don't see it.
Look again.
Nope.
What do we tell the press? Sir, would you please take those dark glasses off?
Nothing happened.
The FCC is going to crucify us.
No they're not.
We could blame a contractor for not putting a password on a container.
Never happened.
The public is going to eat us alive.
Jenkins, we're AT& friggin T - would we ever lie to customers?

Man, it's great to have our car back.
And when I say have our car back, I mean I haven't actually been allowed to drive it and it's out of town, with the dog. Wife and Dog took off, visiting. Which means I'm at home, not visiting. Mind you, not visiting is its own reward. The problem is I'm starting to get bored AND I miss my dog. Since no babysitter was obtained, it might be time for Hijinks. Now would be the perfect time to get those nasty neighbors back for shoveling their private drive snow onto my car. They'd never see it coming. I'll probably use something other than snow. Or that 240v electrical prank.

Wife gets excited about going visiting, and starts 'getting ready' a few days in advance. Her process of getting ready is unlike anyone else's so it's naturally fair game for the blog. She starts with lists - several of them. Then decides what she's going to buy for the relatives. Then buys it, but shifts the date of her visit, having the expected effect on the bought items. On the Day of the Leaving, it gets a little loud. I ask why. It's because she doesn't know what she's taking. I suggest looking on one of the three lists she prepared. She can't find them. So she randomly starts putting stuff into bags and a few hangers. As I help carry the stuff to the car, I wonder aloud why she needs enough clothes for a month if it's a weekend stay. You're not gonna believe this, but she gets MAD at me when I ask. We purposely buy large cars and by the time the car is packed, there's no room for the dog.

Then there's Leaving. Leaving is also a drawn out process. Whenever she goes somewhere, she returns in five minutes because she forgot something. On larger trips she returns again for a pocketbook or phone. The third time was for a 5lb (2km UK) bag of peanuts. I didn't see the bag come in, which makes me wonder what else is hiding about the place.

Honey, can you get me the tiger?
Uh, the tiger?
Yes THE TIGER (as if it's the most natural thing on Earth)
Where would this tiger be located?
Behind the couch.

Dear, why is there an outdoor patio set in the bathroom?
Oh, that's a birthday present for Aunt Barbara.
We sure are getting generous.

Why is there a terrarium in the kitchen?
We're watching it for the niece.
Couldn't we watch it at her place?
The fish like to be near people.

The dog really likes to go. Anywhere, apparently.
She watched the packing, knowing Mommy was leaving.
When I picked up her leash, she went batshit.
I swear she hovered above the floor for a bit, then ran to the door and back, then made screaming dog noises, then tried to sit so I could put on the leash, then screamed and ran some more. We have to allow five minutes to put her leash on. I'm starting to wish I could get that excited about anything. My leash is in the bedroom, but that's a different matter entirely.

Those Anti-Covid Plastic Barriers Probably Don’t Help and May Make Things Worse

US COVID-19 data has never been good enough

Most face masks won’t stop COVID-19 indoors, study warns



Speaking of women earning money taking their clothes off, the woman interviewed above, Star, had a few safe pictures in the story. She is one of the top percentage of earners on Onlyfans, which is a significant amount of money (and good for her). Sometimes I think I'm in the tiny percentage in preferences. This woman looks large to me. Not fat at all. Just large. The posterior must be outta site. That seems to be a thing these days: a huge bum. And huge silicone boobs.

But that ain't me. I don't like tattoos, butt implants, or bolt-on boobs. We have managed to avoid them in our house. Marshall the cocker wanted buttocks, but we kept that on the back burner.

Butt implants. Seriously? I only recently heard of these things, when a local lady got arrested for doing implants with concrete. I'm thinking heavy cottage cheese. We've gone from 'is my ass too fat' to 'do I have enough booty?'

And who was the first person to come up with Butt Implants?
"All these women feel inferior because their boobs aren't big enough. So I give them breast implants. Now women are complaining their butts aren't huge and round enough. Hey, I know.. I'll invent Butt Implants!"

God: Man, the humans are at it again.
Moses: What is it this time - polluting the air, cutting down the forests, or anal?
God: Butt implants.
Moses: BUTT implants?
God: Yes. Why do people repeat everything I say as a question?
Moses: Oh, sorry, I'm starting to sound like a human.
God: First it was breast implants. They are perverting human nature.
Moses: Oh, that's not good. How?
God: They are wired to reproduce. The cheerleaders will go for the football players because they're large and can provide for the family. The cavemen didn't know this, but that's how it works. By the same token, men are entranced by boobies because they produce milk for his babies. But larger fake boobies do not provide any extra milk.
Moses: I get it.
God: You're slow, but nice. Now it's butt implants. Men look for child-bearing hips in women, not butts the size of a Chevrolet. The whole thing is messed up. Mother Nature's out back, getting rid of her breakfast into the bird fountain. The birds like it, but that's not the point. Everything's gone higgledy piggledy.
Moses: Is this why world reproduction rates are going down?
God: Yes. Well, that and RuPaul.
Moses: Ummm... God?
God: Yes, my son?
Moses: just between us, Mother Nature's weather has gone.... a bit bipolar.
God: Yeah, it's been that way since her vagina implants. Her lips look like they're talking to you.




I recently discovered I was neurotypical.
No, I didn't have to go to the doctor or take tests. I found out the new way: Twitter. 
I follow a person who's 'on the spectrum'. She refers to everyone else as neurotypical. 
Ok, I get it. But there's something funny about it to me. 
It's like I'm being assigned a diagnosis. Moreso, a diagnosis for things running as they're supposed to.
My gay buddies call me a Breeder.
I call everyone who's right handed 'backwards,' even though lefties are only 10% of the populace.

It's only a matter of time...
The person with one leg referring to people with two legs as duo-dexters?
The depressed person who calls people without depression 'Happys'
People with multiple personalities already refer to people without them as 'singletons'
the guy with rebar through his brain refers to the rest of us as 'rebar-less'
the guy missing a testicle says "go ask the Two Balls"

Dusty Hill's (RIP) wife had some beautiful things to say
apparently taken from ZZ Top's Faceyspaces page, but I can't go there 

Somewhat disconcerting is that the band will continue, with Billy Gibbons' tech, Elwood Francis, on bass.


an 84 year old German was fined 250,000 liters for keeping Nazi war machines, including a tank, in his basement

I think they should pay him for getting a tank in his basement. I only got mine as far as the front lawn before the neighbors started calling the city on me. It's getting so a man can't keep a tank in his house...

He was ordered to sell or give the tank and flak cannon to a museum or collector.
Wasn't he a collector?


While Mrs. lefty's phone was down, I gave her mine when she went somewhere.
Good news.
My phone is heavily customized and locked down
Bad news.
She tried to surf to places
Bad news

"I tried to get to this website and I couldn't"
Yeah, I forgot to mention that to you.
"I tried 3 different browsers."
Yeah, they all don't go to Faceyspaces or Google.
"Why not?"
They're blocked by the firewall.
"The firewall?"
Yeah, the firewall. I have all ad sites and other stuff blocked by default and....
"Don't even bother. I'll make sure to use it only as a phone. The guy at the phone store asked if you were a programmer or just genetically weird."

LIMBO 

So Rental Car Limbo is all over but the shouting over the 4 figure bill. Even the insurance said that was crazy.

Collision Limbo goes somewhat smoothly, but the finish date (today) has come and gone, with a call stating why it's late and "it'll still be done in a few days."  Still?  The stripe on the car is painted on and their regular stripe guy is on vacation. One question: I have a stripe on my car?

I am surprised and shocked to let you know that Work Badge Limbo is finally over!
After only six hours at the Badge Place, I have a new badge.
Six hours.
They have to pay me for this shit. I'd rather be working.
When I returned, my boss passed out, and a coworker finally stopped sacrificing chickens.

HOUR 1: get picture taken, horror over Alcatraz mug shot
HOUR 2: meet 7 others waiting for badge
HOUR 3: sitting there with my phone for 3 hours, people think I 'work' there
HOUR 4: all 7 people have their badges and went home, wishing me luck
HOUR 5: Badge Guy says Are you lefty? Oh man, we're still trying to figure out what's up with yours
HOUR 6: they bring me the badge but Security wants me out of the building

Watching some amplifier demos, I came to the realization that I'm a size queen. You know... bigger is better. But I'm really specific.. whereas women like bigger, I like one certain size, largely being 12". 

Whazzup wi dat?

My first serious amplifier, a Marshall, had four 12" speakers. This trend continued.
It's gotten to the point where if an amp comes with a 10" speaker, I immediately start to wonderin' if there's a version with a 12" speaker. Out of my entire herd, the one that hurts the most is the one with the 8" speaker. I spend nights trying to figure out how to shove a 12" into the space reserved for 8". While either would be a blessing for women (and some men, but I'll stop now), it's always 12 for me. Unfortunately 12" is bigger than the entire amplifier, so it is not to be. I can interrupt the speaker leads and send it to an external 12" speaker, but that defeats the purpose of the amp (a 1959 Fender tweed Champ, intended to be a cheap practice amp). Don't underestimate 8" - I believe "Layla" was recorded with one. 

It's funny.. guitar players, with their long hair, tattoos, and whatnot, are surprisingly conservative when it comes to equipment. Gibson put out a Les Paul guitar with a (RJ45 - like your computer) ethernet connector, which flew right at the ground like a lead ze... never mind. I bought a Cordovox rotating baffle cabinet (think "It Don't Come Easy") which had a 10" speaker. It took a while, but I figured out how to shoehorn a 12" speaker into it.  Don't even mention car speakers.

One could say most of a guitar player's time is taken up trying to put 12" speakers into amplifiers with 10" or smaller speakers. Note that I did not say their time is taken up with practicing and getting better (listen to the radio or Nirvana records). Of course still other guitarists' time is taken up with squeezing more and louder white powder into their noses, but this is beyond the scope of this bit. 

The new manufacturer fad is removing the vacuum tubes from amplifiers and replacing them with integrated circuits and claiming they sound just like, or better than, tubes.

Why, you ask, have I put something about amplifier speakers into this blog, where statistics say 1.5 readers are guitar players?  Because I can.  Now back to Sarcasm...

I have 3 people I forward Beatle news to.
Unfortunately one of them has left us.
I miss her. Sometimes I'm tempted to include her on the emails.
Mrs. lefty liked her a lot too. A fond memory was the walk down the street after a party. One on each arm. I felt like a king.


  • the dog has really tiny, pointy nails and I have a lot of scratches and rips as a result. I told Wife that I look like a drug addict. She said no, they're in the wrong place.
  • Oh.


Mrs lefty just got back from two grocery stores. There were empty shelves and customers whose sole jobs appeared to be yelling at employees, in an entitled fashion. The manager said they need people to drive trucks and unload them, then stock. They're crippled without staff. It's much worse than when the Flying AIDS hit the first time, with all the predicted shortages (that never materialized).
