The Table Legs March for Left Handed Pride

Your love is like  Baghdad


The large-breasted weatherlady* actually referred to snow storms as parading through the area. Most days on the 7 day chart feature snow. It's like rain in the summer. This is absolutely getting personal.

The parade of snow removal continued yesterday. No matter how much I beg and plead, the dog is not interested in helping. She has to be dragged outside for her own business. A neighbor said the city is getting pushy about removing snow within 8 hours. Oh good - they need to speak to me - I'll ask how they plan to do it. These people can't keep the streets clean, yet they can afford employees to bother people about snow.

I haven't been able to automate the shovel. I know people who have snowblowers, but this means you try every snow event to start something that doesn't want to start. Like my desire to shovel.

The sign down the street that says   NO SNOW IN  xx DAYS  has to be changed every morning.

All this snow is unprecedented. I wonder if the citizens have run their vehicles through the grocery store yet. Screw them - I'm almost out of coffee. I'll call out the National Guard if necessary.


  • The more western parts of the Turnpike are better if you're going to land your plane there. Remember that. Also make sure to land with traffic, not against it. You will be charged the highest fee if you don't have your ticket.


Yes, I'm almost out of coffee. I have the number to the National Guard. How do I get the National Guard to come out and help me get coffee? I'll tell them there's a Trump supporter rally at the supermarket.


Yesterday the president said that children should go back to school, if it can be done safely. Also, children should be able to play with dynamite, if it can be done safely. The new CDC head said children should return to school, but listed a bunch of qualifications. Well, it's not safe to return to school, is it? What genius came up with 'hybrid' learning?  It's not safe to go to school more than 2-3 days a week. Then I'm not going to school at all.

The entire school situation is higgledy piggledy. 
One of the complaints of the 'send them back' crowd is the social interaction the children are missing out on.  The National Bullies' Network is apoplectic because there is little to no opportunity to practice their craft virtually. Just think of what the children are missing; being bullied is a rite of passage and an essential part of schooling. Even mild teasing about clothing or makeup is an important part of socialization. Segregation by looks and income, by sports ability, and by everyone else that doesn't play sports. Razzing people with oral appliances. Pointing and laughing at the potheads, who have absolutely no idea you're doing it. Suddenly discovering the school has a marching band. Have you ever had marching band practice virtually? Who's going to pick on the fat kids? If they don't come to school, they may never know they're fat.


Today I identify as  11 penny nails


* Today on Nature's Bounty, we study the Large-Breasted Weather Lady.
The Large-Breasted Weather Lady can be found in any climate across the United States. She has migrated to most other places on the globe but originated in the US. She is not to be confused with the Large-Breasted Traffic Lady or the Large-Breasted Anchor Lady, even though they're largely interchangeable. There are believed to be approximately 150 Large-Breasted Weather Ladies in the US, but these are only the immediately visible ones. Behind every Large-Breasted Weather Lady, there are many looking to move into her slot, so one cannot come up with an accurate number. Note that there are also many average human males looking to move into her slot. 

Related but also not working is the Small-Breasted Weather Lady. You will know her because of her call, which complains about sexism in the news, as she gets implants to become the Large-Breasted Weather Lady. The call of the Large-Breasted Weather Lady is whatever's written on the card, plus the odd giggling noise, similar to beauty pageant winners. As for talent, the Large-Breasted Weather Lady comes with a remote clicker that makes weather charts switch to the next in the series. Eye color is usually brown, but can be altered via colored contact lenses, to any color found to make viewers pay greater attention in the monthly stats.

In its non-working hours the Large-Breasted Weather Lady spends some of her time trying to become the Large-Breasted Anchor Lady. If she is sufficiently attractive, the Large-Breasted Weather Lady will get offers to migrate to different climates, for more money and back-stroking from other Large-Breasted Weather Ladies, who would sooner stab her in the back than see her succeed. Yes, the Large-Breasted Weather Lady is a savage group, but this is cleverly hidden from people who watch the Large-Breasted Weather Lady. The Large-Breasted Weather Lady is also known to frequent high-class establishments and flirt with the General Programming Manager, a large, obnoxious, and powerful man. She likes to be seen where people are, loves to hear people say her name or imitate her call. As for mating, the Large-Breasted Weather Lady will start out mating with almost anything, but gets much more selective as ratings improve. By the end, she will build her nest with a Major Sporting Dick, and they will become a Prodigious Power Couple, until a few years later, when Major Sporting Dick gets caught with a new Large-Breasted Weather Lady, or even a Large-Breasted Anchor Lady. This will result in one of them migrating and the Large-Breasted Weather Lady to learn that brightly colored feathers do not always make for the best mate. She will proceed to pick another unsuitable mate, possibly from the Major Sporting Dick pool again. The Large-Breasted Weather Lady has a serious problem with mate-choosing. This is the reason there are not more of them: they don't always reproduce because they're preening in public.

Large-Breasted Weather Ladies are a boon for stations. Because of their plumage, they can say any old thing and the people who watch them will stay attached to their every move. They are a great favorite of the male watcher, while the female watcher complains about how stupid she is and points out her faults, all of which is ignored by the male watcher. Her forecast is considered very accurate, because watchers cannot always remember what the forecast was.

The Large-Breasted Weather Lady lives a relatively short life, and can be rehomed the moment a gray feather is spotted, even if she is a local favorite. If she learns to speak and read correctly, she may eventually be promoted to Large-Breasted Anchor Lady, but this rarely occurs.

Next week: the Small Penis Mayor



  • we have a small-breasted anchor lady. She's good at her job but her top plumage changes back and forth between straight and poodle. The entire area was confused by this until she announced that the poodle was because she was proud of her heritage. Perhaps she identifies as poodle. They say poodles are very intelligent. 



PANIC 
There's not enough vaccine.
Variants may negate the vaccine.
Our illustrious transportation secretary, the highly competent Pete Buttgieg, is weighing whether to require Flying AIDS certification for continental flights. It is already required for international flights. Next up: certification tattooed on your forehead. C'mon, join the crowd. People already have all sorts of stupid tattoos - yours won't be too different.

WHO team and Chinese experts say 'extremely unlikely' virus leaked from lab.
Chinese experts say 'extremely unlikely' virus even started in China.


Today the Russians  hacked the Pentagon and sent warships for 'exercises' near China. What? It was the Pentagon after all? Oh, sorry.


  • as I type this, my viewing choices are 2 different Sasquatch documentaries, a show on old men pole vaulting, and 1 on why there are multiple train lines in Paris. It's amazing that, when you expand your horizons to cable, then internet tv, there are just more and more stations with nothing to watch.

The 2nd impeachment trial is beginning.
The opening argument was "Nyah nyah nyah nyah, we're going to impeach you again and again until we're happy. As a bonus, we will also continue to avoid any productive work, a quality for which we've always been known. We know you called each and every one of the drunk Bubbas and personally to them to riot at the Capitol. We don't like you and we haven't liked you from the moment you announced your candidacy. And even though your wife is gorgeous, we won't say a single word about it, instead insisting on Michele Obama as the most lovely woman ever to enter the White House. We want Politics as Usual and now we've got it. Of course Joe's senile, but at least he's not orange. Nyah nyah."

Midwives have been told to say “chestfeeding” instead of “breastfeeding” and to replace the term “mother” with “mother or birthing parent” as part of moves to be more trans-friendly

The SF school board tonight spent two hours talking about whether to allow a gay dad of mixed-race SFUSD kids to volunteer for one of several empty seats on a parent advisory group. Their problem was that he’s white and doesn’t bring diversity to the group

Here's a word combination guaranteeing you should not bother reading further:

  • The Supremes are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
  • Chaka Kahn is on her way
  • idiots in Cincinnati


Robinhood app being sued by parents of 20 year old son, who committed suicide when he thought he lost $730,000.
  1. the kid had $730,000 to lose?
  2. obviously nobody ever taught the parents personal responsibility
  3. our sympathies to the parents - this should not happen

  • Sign language interpreters at press conferences: why aren't they wearing masks?
  • especially when they're next to the podium and the speaker isn't wearing 1 either.

Just in case you've been following the male remote chastity device saga, there's a new chapter. The manufacturer hardened(!) the device, using penetration(!) tests, so it's no longer hackable (until next time). 
If you're not following along at home, there is a male chastity device that runs over the internet, so your partner can control it remotely. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the device got hacked. Several had to pay ransom to get their Main Members back, and one guy got out bolt cutters to Free Willy ("It fucking hurt," he said). This is the Internet of Things, folks. So now the guys can go back to having their Stuff locked up by only their partners.
If you're asking yourself why this goes on, I leave it to you to research.

Almost slightly related is an article that hacked sex robots could be told to kill users. I'm sure this is a thrill for some. It takes all kinds. One also wonders how something that essentially lays there and moans is capable of killing (real women aside).


  • According to an Iranian cleric, the Flying AIDS vaccine makes you homosexual.
  • We think he's out of his tiny little mind, but this could be much deeper than you know.... people are clamoring for the vaccine, as they're told to. After they get the shots, they turn gay. Gays don't reproduce. This is Bill Gates' agenda.


Tell people. Recommend this blog to your friends. If you don't like it, recommend it to your enemies and your mother-in-law (same thing). Recommend it to someone who needs a little offending. Someone who will get so upset, they'll try to get it thrown off the net. Recommend it to people you like. Recommend it to very religious people and ministers. Politicians. Teens. Mrs. lefty says the blog should be widely read already, and we had better listen to Mrs. lefty, if we know what is good for us. I can't even get my family to read it.

thanks to the readers - I truly appreciate you coming by.

Disaster Tundra - Please Help

 Your love is like  prunes


I'm considering shoveling, after the 2nd large snowstorm in a week. Considering how I felt after the 1st large snow movage, I never wanted to see another flake again, as long as I live, in person. Maybe on tv. So naturally it snowed again. This is getting personal. BUT WAIT!!!! Snow at the end of the week, with possible accumulation, PLUS snow on V-Day (our holiday). I liked snow for a few years when I was little. I like it no more. I am going to have to speak to someone about this - it's intolerable. 

Until I get someone with some mojo on the horn, I'm looking into flamethrowers. Anybody can get a generic flamethrower you wear over your shoulders, but over the shoulders is not for me; still too cold. I'd prefer a drone-thrower, so I could fly over the spots that needed it and flame away. I don't think they're available, or at least not for non-military buyers, so that's out. All my life I wanted a tank for the front lawn. It would be spiffy to have different attachments for it, like the normal boom maker, plus a flame thrower. At this point, happy as I'd be, we're back to the problem of having to be out in the cold, plus moving the tank to get all the snow spots. Since I haven't worked this out yet, I'm afraid it won't be suitable for the car. Something about frying off the finish or something. I haven't read the fine print on the insurance, but I'm guessing it specifically exempts "flame from flamethrowers or attached to tank." Those people are no fun.

So either way I look at it, I'm going to have to leave the house. Yeah, I don't have to wear a mask, but that doesn't make a lot of difference now. Given engineering time and delivery, I'm back to shoulder-worn flamethrower or waiting til the sun melts it. This is a hidden issue, because we don't see the sun a lot. Retailers who sell sun-powered anything have to put a sticker on them that says "Warning: Will Not Work in PA, use batteries." I passed a house with solar collectors on the roof and shook my head sadly. I guess those people moved from out of town....

If I had a flamethrower, I could do the elderly lady's drive, then lend it out to anybody who wanted it. I'd pay for fuel (what does a flamethrower use for fuel?). It's not as bad as mowing, but I still hate it.

Life Tip: I desperately want to move somewhere where snow isn't. Somewhere with no humidity, high temperatures and no humidity. Then I remember... if I move,  my problems will just have a nicer climate.

A question for the Theory of Attraction people: How did I attract this )$*#ing snow?


  • No mater what won't work, my laptop keyboard always defaults to type-over instead of Insert. This may or may not be personal.

Today I identify as  a pr0n star with no tattos or implants


It's been a bit of a morning for Philly schools. The best and brightest got together and decided the kids should return. They'd put up Big Fans<tm> to blow the Flying AIDS out the windows. In the schools closed for asbestos, the Big Fans<tm> would also blow the asbestos out the windows. For some unknown reason, Philly teachers are refusing to go back to school.

I don't have kids (or like kids) but if I did, they sure as hell wouldn't be in a school building. The people who are responsible for giving us the Science have no idea, so why should I subject my kids to Science Vacuum?  This is not personal.

Homeschool your children. You can teach them critical thinking.


  • Linus Torvalds, father of linux, labeled the Superbowl 'violent version of egg and spoon race.'  This is why I use linux.

Today the president  failed Flying AIDS Science by using the same people his predecessor did. People he condemned. When asked about this, the president said, "Table tennis," and walked away with his sippy cup.

Today the First Lady said to mask up, even when walking the dogs.
We R Sy-ins.
What about the dogs, Jill?


  • I'm a failure. As an American, I haven't sued anybody (yet).
  • I also haven't found anything to be offended by. And I'm offended by that.


The internet is a wonderful place. From the early newsgroups to the web, you're going to fund Interesting Stuff<tm>. I came across some of it yesterday. Remember when Shia LeBouf was in some foreign country, with nothing but a flag behind him, blathering on about something or other? The Internet actually found him. Never piss off the internet. Yesterday I went to YouTube to listen to a device to make you sound like Brian May, of Queen. I found it, and so much more There are actual get togethers, with video, of Brian May guitar playing fans, trying their best to nail his tone, with every little box and screw. This particular video had a bunch of these people trying out 6 of these boxes, ranging from commercial to homemade, looking for the one that sounded most like Brian. Every one of them had a version of Brian's guitar, the Red Special. The only divergence, and it surprises me to have caught it, is that Brian uses a wireless and these people used cords. 
This is a 2 part video.
I am not making fun of these people - just saying there are incredible dedicated groups of people, trying to figure things out. 
A larger, international group started a search for a Rwandan transistor radio, and 1 little part they had to measure, then traced out the circuit so everyone could build or buy one. You can no longer buy this part (don't ask how I know). 
There are a bunch of Queen tribute bands.
Even 1 fella in (Italy?) who has everything but the hair down. His videos have English subtitles.

The internet is a fascinating place.
Moving from Brian May to Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), there are people who can tell you what boxes Jimmy used onstage on which date in 1969 (and every other date). While Jimmy is easier to imitate, he plays a Les Paul that is pure unobtainium under 6 figures, if you can find one.

I don't have a Brian May guitar, although they are made lefty. Sadly, there is nothing like them - I can't just take any guitar and make it sound like that. So I guess I'll go with a commercial box, if I do. I cannot explain the desire to sound like somebody. There are also computer programs to help you sound like people like Brian and Jimi Hendrix. Technology is a wonderful thing. It's also a very funny thing, if you think of the time and resources involved in making a high-powered computer sound like a bunch of old tube amps from 1968.

  • a growing number of firms are using artificial intelligence to pass or fail job seekers
  • it sounds like an outrage, but AI has to be better than non-technical people reviewing technical resumes.


The Russians  hacked the Superbowl, changing teams and making the halftime show even worse. As if that were possible.

But seriously - CNN Reporter Aghast at Drunk Crowds
CNN has become pure entertainment, from their making up the news, to being aghast at things. Even *I* know about the drunks post-Bowl. Philly drunks climb light poles and destroy vans. They even managed to climb greased poles. The reporter asked the police what they're going to do about this.

I wondered what CNN was going to do when Trump left office, because he was their bread and butter. I think we have our answer. Watch next week, as they show video of the game and ask why they're not social distancing and maskless. A reporter will knock at the NFL booth and demand an interview on this. He will also touch on the needless violence on the field. This is not personal.

I'm going to do something unprecedented and make up a football joke.
If the NFL feels it's losing revenue, they can always rent out advertising space on Peyton's forehead


  • You knew it was coming (so to speak) - pussy scented face masks
  • No.


Mainstream or Pr0n?  Newton, Genius, and Stud, No Man's Land, Buster Bros!!!, 


No wonder Dubai wanted to put together a commercial court for Mars...  their craft is going to be the first to arrive in Mars orbit, followed by the Chinese and NASA. Imagine the savings and good will from putting together 1 craft. Important people in government were very unhappy when JFK suggested working with the Russians. This is also not personal.

Actually, the 3 countries tried to get together on a craft, but things got ugly..

Dubai said it was not acceptable for the craft's elbows to be showing.
Dubai and US insisted on one of their guidance systems, because Chinese systems tended to move slowly, not know where they're going, and reverse where they're not supposed to.
US wanted to use English because they couldn't figure out Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Jishi or Ming Kim.
Dubai insisted on hiring only right handed workers because the left hand is unclean
Chinese workers kept pushing in front of the others.

So 3 craft it is.


  • People too stupid to stream their misdeeds on Faceyspaces (yes, there are some), should plan them well, check the gun carry laws, and make sure their life insurance is paid up. As a YouTube prank, Timothy Wilks and a friend approached a group of people outside a family trampoline park in Nashville, holding large knives. A member of the group then pulled his gun and killed Wilks. 
  • Wilks will be buried in the 'special' section of the cemetery. YouTube will not air the video because it has knives in it.


For some reason, Mercury in Retrograde is funny to some people. Some don't care. A friend told me Mercury was in retrograde. Ok. They said that communication and electronics were affected.

Her: I was just thinking about the show 911 - it's on tonight.
Me: I didn't think it was on Tuesday.
Her: What?
Me: The show 
Her: What show?
Me: What show were you just talking about?
Her: Ummm... I don't know.
Me: 911
Her: Oh yeah.

I don't have to believe in Mercury, wherever retrograde is, but every conversation this week has gone like this.


Apple has ended talks with Hyundai to build an Apple car.
Can you imagine?
  • twice the price of equivalent cars
  • all connectors proprietary
  • if something breaks you have to drive it into the mall, to the Genius Bar
  • no android connectivity. no anything else connectivity
  • only Apple can replace the battery
  • runs on smug, costs 2x the price of gasoline, only at Apple stores
  • owners spend their entire lives online, looking for new covers
  • windshield is a mirror, so you can look at yourself
  • no accidents because all other cars will know to get out of your way


Lord Zuck (God, Faceyspaces) wants commuting to work replaced with virtual reality/artificial reality telecommuting.

Our correspondent, Bob, got hold of Zuck's new getup to give it a try:

Bob: I can't believe I still have to wait for Win 10 to boot up, even in VR. These glasses make my head hurt and I'm going to be late for virtual work if there are too many Win updates. Plus all this info takes time to upload itself to Faceyspaces.

Ok, it's done booting, I think. The virtual commute this morning is total shit, due to a virtual accident on the interstate. A virtual Volkswagen learned that physics prevented it from going under a virtual truck. Everything from the neck up was gone. The problem was people stopping on the road to take pictures. My boss isn't going to believe this... good thing I took a picture.

Somebody took the last cup of virtual coffee and didn't make another virtual pot. As I expected, there's no virtual sugar and someone stole my virtual creamer from the virtual fridge. 

First thing was the virtual meeting. I long for the old days of Teams or Webex meetings. This VR/AR stuff is frightening. One minute you're in your home office, the next, you're in the virtual meeting room, complete with all the virtual sights, sounds, and smells of days of yore. Somebody brought in virtual donuts but I haven't figured out how to virtually eat them. Good thing I have my virtual suit programmed in, because I'm in my pajamas - the ones with the holes in places that weren't there when I bought them. Or my scuba suit, but that's enough about me.

VR/AR allows you to see the faces of coworkers as they stab you in the back, so at least we have that. Someone really needs to polish the virtual meeting table - it's filthy, perhaps from the donuts. I'd get up to get some real coffee from home, but every time I try that, I walk right into the dining room table, which is right at genital level. It's twice as embarrassing because virtual me gets up and walks into the virtual meeting table in the middle of the meeting. This should teach everyone not to fiddle about while in Zuck World. This means you, Karen, constantly talking to your virtually learning rugrats. Joan - until you can program a perfectly still virtual you, you shouldn't be touching herself there - yes, we see it.

Crap - Win 10 needs to reboot. I know I told it not to bother me during work hours, but Win apparently knows best. I have to have virtual me hold up the Reboot sign, so they know I'm rebooting, instead of just leaving the meeting because I'm bored and meetings are a tool of the devil.

Back at my virtual desk, the guys are discussing the project. And when I say discussing the project, Jon (leave off the H) is telling us about his latest conquest, complete with video. It seems younger folks can't have sex unless there's a camera running. Let me tell you  - virtual liquid lunches are an awful lot less fun, as are virtual lap dances, may Zuck rot in hell.

But don't think there are absolutely zero advantages to VR/AR telecommuting. Whenever your spouse wants you to do something, you obviously can't, because you're wearing your headset and glasses. With the way you're banging into things, your spouse might not want you near the dusting equipment anyway. You certainly won't have to worry about sex, because the headset makes you look like Frankenstein using binoculars, riding Lord Zuck around the room. In fact, even virtual sex is out.

lefty: VR will be a positive boon for people like me. Nobody wants to look at me in the first place, so unless I can substitute a good looking man's head for mine, I can continue actually working in my own office. If this argument fails for you, just tell them your office is full of offensive stuff. I haven't had to turn my camera on since I got hired. Now that they know me, they're even more frightened.


The virtual ride home is also ridiculous, because there's traffic and you're falling asleep at the virtual wheel. You spend half your time yelling at the virtual idiots in their virtual cars, and almost got into a virtual fight with some lady with tattoos up and down her huge arms, on a virtual Harley. You make a mental note to purchase a virtual Glock.


So I'm thinking this is a total failure, or at least will take a little while to get used to - say 2051.
