Bobservations

No Carlos this week because, to be honest, we’ve had a rough go of it for a hot minute.

Every so often I get what I call The Blahs—yes, it’s a mild depression, but it feels very Blah so that’s what I call it—and this week it came on and I was … Blah. Carlos does not understand The Blahs and so he, who is usually quite concerned and caring, will say things like:

“Get over it.”

And that never helps and really only seems to make The Blahs worse, so we had words … not so Blah words, and so this week I have no Funny Carlos, but I do have a Why Do I say Things about me.

A while back I posed pictures of an old building in downtown Camden that was being renovated and will become a restaurant below and apartments above. But in the renovation, where they removed some 60’s granite to reveal the hundred-plus-year-old brick façade, they also uncovered another building. Yes, part of this old bank building also had a small, about ten-foot-wide second building with a carved sign out front calling it The Brick.

So the whole town was buzzing about The Brick and what it was and why it was covered up and at work one day I wandered into just that conversation and was asked what I thought it was and I said:

“Sounds like a kill room, and I need a new one.”

And the room went silent. It appears I can also kill a conversation just about anywhere.

Can anyone explain why the GOP continues to line up behind Walker and Oz? Are they so desperate for a win that they will support anyone???

I was at the store earlier this week and a man with a service dog was in front of me. In front of him was a lady who had about $200 worth of toilet paper in her cart, no doubt preparing for Hurricane Ian’s arrival in South Carolina.

She turned and asked the guy what kind of dog he had, and he said it was a service dog. She got a little pissy:

“I know, but what type of service?”

“He’s a BLD.”

By now, she had bent down and the dog was licking her face and hands and she said:

“What’s a BLD?”

“A Butt Licking Dog.

“A Butt Licking Dog?”

“Yeah, he’s been trained to lick my butt clean because I can't seem to be able to find toilet paper because of hoarders.”

Hey, it could have happened.

Asshat tech billionaire Elon Musk kinda pissed off Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, after he Tweeted what he said Ukraine 'neutral' in the war so that maybe fewer people die, and Melnyk Tweeted to Musk:

“Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you. The only outcome is that now no Ukrainian will EVER buy your fucking tesla crap. So good luck to you.”

Musk telling Ukraine to remain neutral when they were the ones attacked is the height of ignorance. Elon Musk may have a lot of coins, but he’s an idiot.

I saw this picture of Governor Ron DeSantis “aiding” in the cleanup effort on Florida and all I could think, or Tweet, was:

“♫♪ These boots are made for stunting♪♫”

Cuz they are.

PS Rumor has it that his wife wears the pants in the family, so it's no surprise he gets the Go-Go boots.

This is gonna get juicy … Marjorie Taylor Greene’s husband, Perry, has moved to withdraw a motion seeking to seal documents in their ongoing divorce case, meaning the matter could remain public.

Sounds like Perry Greene wants the world to know all about Large Marge and her wandering vagina and maybe some of her not-quite-legal uses of campaign funds.

And just before the midterms.

Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott actually tried to justify Thing 45’s racist Truth Social post from last week in which the Thing said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had a “DEATH WISH” and called his former transportation secretary Elaine Chao “Coco Chow.” He flailed about after being asked to explain that and then spat out:

“As you know, the president likes to give people nicknames. You can ask him how he came up with the nickname. I’m sure he has a nickname for me.”

My money’s on Medicare Defrauding Pandering Lying Fuck.

It appears Russia’s beleaguered enlistment officers are growing exceedingly desperate to get men to stop fleeing the country and join the military, so this week they are offering an enticement:

Offering their families fresh fish.

The local chief of Putin’s ruling party, Mikhail Shuvalov, promised comrades in the far-eastern Sakhalin island 5kg of flounder, pollock and salmon in exchange for sending their men to a war believed to have already killed 50,000 Russian soldiers.

Russia takes your husband, possibly off to die, and you get fresh fish.

I love me some Anne Rice, though I wasn’t a fan of the original Interview with the Vampire  film … Tom Cruise. But this latest version on AMC starring Sam Reid as Lestat, left, and Jacob Anderson as Louis, right, has me wondering: Which One Would You Hit? Or … Which One Would You Let Suck Your … Blood?

  1. The BLD! Too funny!
    And which one would I hit? Can I pick both? :)

  2. Oh, the Blahs. Yes.
    And you know the Repugs do NOT care about their own neck deep in fuckery. They want to be a majority and they'll back anybody to get it.
    I hope Marge Three Names cannot stop her soon to be ex to keep everything public. I hope that skank gets DRAGGED. Nobody nore deserving.
    As for Interview with the Vampire? I'm getting ready to binge this Sunday. I did the movie EVEN THOUGH Cruise was in it and I loved the books.

    XOXO

    1. I want to see Large Marge's messiness played out on TV.
      So far I love the series; it's beautifully shot. I only saw the movie because I loved the books and because of Brad Pitt; I tried to look away from Tiny Overacting Tom.

  4. Lestat. Definitely Lestat, because, after seeing him put his fist through the head of that fleeing priest, I wouldn't want to get on his wrong side by choosing Louis over him. As for why you say things ... you've got a dry sense of humor that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but we, your readers, appreciate. You're probably right about the kill room.

    1. Yeah, that kill on Vampire through me, but I still lean Louis, though I could be persuaded to add a third to keep Lestat happy.
      And I have a tendency to say what enters my mind.

  5. Yeah, I get the Blahs, on steroids. But you are posting, so that's a plus. Mar-a Lago for displaced Floridians. That's hilarious!

  8. I don't think Marjorie Taylor green had any affair, I think she's had too much fun with her Jewish laser light vibrator!

    Elon Musk just looks like a douche. I find most people with that kind of money usually are ignorant.

    And yes Interview with the Vampire? Both of them could suck my....

    And I'm still wondering if Trixie Mattel knows that Ron DeSantis has her go-go boots?

    1. I agree about Elon; he's ugly from the inside ...
      Trixie needs to get after the governor's drag persona, Rhonda Santis.
      Vampire, so far, is really good; different from the books, but very sexy.

      Antisemites sound so much like a comic book that Scott Snyder created the Court of Owls to show them how it's done.

      No, seriously, it's Jewish space laser this, Israeli mind control that.

      (For those unfamiliar, the Court of Owls are an ancient society that controls Gotham by using all the costumes criminals as a distraction. They're also part of a larger, multiversal conspiracy involving a bat god who eats worlds that are fundamentally flawed and cannot exist, and just happens to be the bat Bruce Wayne saw which inspired him to take the bat motif. They also have a cadre of assassins, who they recruit from the circus.)

  9. OMG. You made me roll on the floor with laughter. I even brought my 3 to the computer and read the BLD story aloud for them. They looked at me like, where is the treat, I thought you were going to give us a treat.

    MTG is disgusting enought and I don't want to read anything about her crappy life. I would end up tossing whatever I had just eaten all over my desk.

    How about:
    These boots are made for walking
    And that's just what they'll do
    One of these days these boots will
    RUN AWAY FROM YOU

    Be kind to Carlos for he know not what he does. My Robert was always on me to just "man up and get it done". And I did, I was a good husband and did as I was told.

    Does Kill Room equal Man Cave?

    2. And actually, a Kill Room is where you take people and kill them. That way it keeps blood evidence out of your house. Not that I actually have blood evidence inside my house ....

  10. Bob---Sometimes we get the blues and want to be left the hell alone---This too shall pass---Do you Boo---

    There used to be a show on HGTV years ago where they would convert older places-churches, banks, gas stations, stores..-into living spaces. My favorites were gas stations and old stores. And let me throw in churches. Some great repurposing. Here in Denver they turned an old British looking school into condos. The outside was left as is. They just moved the walls on the inside. Fantastic.

    Be well!!

  11. Sorry about the blues and Carlos not getting it. People who have never suffered from depression (for no specific reason) often can’t appreciate how impossible it is to “get over.” SG didn’t get it until he went through his own mental health issues; then he got it in spades. I hope Carlos gets it without having to learn the hard way. Other than that, he IS perfect. I wonder if your colleagues are going to report you. As for the vampires, make mine a double. Elon Musk regularly demonstrates how being a genius doesn’t mean you can’t also be a moron.

    1. I agree with you about Carlos. I tried explaining it to him again, and he's not catching on.
      At work, later that same day, one of my co-workers said they liked my shoes and asked what size I wear and I said, "101/2 or 11 ... 12 in a pump."
      Oy the look I got.
      Twice as much vampire is kinda good.

  12. I'm generally very upbeat but even I get the blahs sometimes. I guess I'm lucky that it's not real depression and I know it. Even so, I've met people who seem to be on happiness steroids and I guess they can never understand the blahs. But hey, you still managed to kill that conversation about the kill room. And don't you just love the guy with the Butt Licking Dog (well, at least I do)! Touché sir!

    1. Well, I think my Blahs are a mild form of depression, and consider myself lucky they aren't really bad and only happen a few times a year.
      I like throwing conversational bombs sometimes, just for the looks I get.

  14. I thought you knew, DeSantis' wife has a matching pair, she was with him that day. The pictures are almost blinding. Musk's in trouble with the Twitter thing, one of his big investors pulled out suddenly, and there's talk of possible stock manipulation. I'm hoping Peter G drops huge pans of shit on his wife. As for Interview with a Vampire... ginger always wins out.

  15. Hope the blahs pass quickly, Bob. I get them as well and it is not a lot of fun. Hope you and Carlos get back to a good space soon. Take care of yourself. To answer your question: Can anyone explain why the GOP continues to line up behind Walker and Oz? Are they so desperate for a win that they will support anyone??? Yep. Dana Loesch said it the other day... they just want to control the Senate.

  16. Betty Bowers... nailed it.
    Jacob can come to me in the middle of the night... any night. And he can take the night off. I'm the one that will be doing all the sucking.
    Rick Scott is still a thing? And Thing is still a thing? Hurry up, November 8th.
    But not too fast... I do want to hear more about Empty G's insatiable gash. I think she'll be doing porn in about... 5, 6 seconds.
    Pukin' Putin is still thinking he's got a shot at the Ukraine? Huh. I wonder just how desperate that azzwipe will get. He has our nuke codes, right?
    Desatanist looks like he's auditioning for Paddington Bear the Musical.
    And Elon is just the gift that keeps giving... even when you've asked it to stop many, many times.
