Bobservations

Sometimes it’s just a simple giggle, like last night as we sat watching the news before going to bed, and Carlos said:

“You might think I’m crazy—”

“I always do.”

And then he proceeds to tell me how he feels Tuxedo in the house, and Tuxedo trying to climb onto his chair, and I said:

“That’s not crazy at all.”

This is a Tuxedo from way back in April 2009:

“Yup, that's how it's done!”

That was always the best way to find him, stretched out in the sun enjoying himself.

The flowers are blooming, the trees are leafing out, the days are growing longer, and so I dug my Spring Ensemble from the closet.

Dear Republicans: Please stop acting like arming teachers is the answer when you don’t even trust them to pick out books for your children or teach actual history to your children.

A Wisconsin teacher had asked kids to sing a Miley Cyrus song, but school administrators say it’s too controversial for elementary school because the song, “Rainbowland,” a duet between Cyrus and Dolly Parton features the line:

“Wouldn’t it be nice to live in paradise … where we’re free to be exactly who we are.”

So controversial.

James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of the Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley, will stand trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the four deaths their son caused in a November 2021 school shooting.

Good.

I pissed off two people today by calling them hipsters. Apparently the politically correct term is conjoined twins.

Yeah, I know, I’m gonna burn in Hell …

In Utah, a parent has grown Frustrated by the books being removed from school libraries and says there’s one book that hasn’t been challenged, but perhaps should be. So they submitted a request for the district to review the Bible for inappropriate content like:

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide. You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.”

Pornography, right?

When you go to vote from now on through forever, pleased remember that the very next day after three children were shot dead in a Nashville school, Republicans turned to Congress still wearing their assault weapons pins in lieu of the American flag pins.

If that doesn’t sicken you, you have no soul.

The show Minx first appeared on HBOMax but wasn’t renewed after it’s first season, so Starz picked it up. It’s about a woman trying to start a feminist magazine in the early 70s and being coerced into adding nude men to increase circulation. After the first episode aired, my thought was: “I have never seen so many penises at one time in my life;” and I’ve seen a lotta dick, just sayin’. And the first two centerfolds were quite hot, though they both used the prosthetic penis in their full nude scenes, so I’ll just give their names—Taylor Zakhar Perez, left, and Nate Crnkovich, right—and faces, and their rather  nice asses, then ask the age old question: Which One Would You Hit?

  4. Awww... Tuxedo!
    And I loved Minx! Starz picked it up, huh? Darn. I don't know anybody who's got it. And I can see myself between Taylor and Nate, of course.
    And you know the Repugs all receive money from the gun lobby, so yeah. NOTHING will be done because they're compromised.
    The bible is one nasty, dirty, nonsensical book.

    XOXO

      I have been enjoying Minx. And a Taylor-Nate sammich sounds fun.
      Guns and Bibles should both be banned.

  5. They should have banned the Bible a long time ago, or at least given it a really good edit. And isn't a prosthetic penis a dildo by another name?

    1. I think a prosthetic penis is what a male actor wears in a film to show off a large penis; not quite like a dildo.

  6. This argument about a good guy with a gun is ridiculous. How many "good guys with guns" have actually stopped a mass shooting?
    IMO, guns are like big ass trucks - compensation for small dicks.

    1. There are already more guns that people in this country so the good guys already have guns and it's not working.
      The bigger the gun, the tinier the dick. Sounds right.

  7. I heard about that Bible challenge. I'm surprised it happened in Utah, of all places, but I'm glad it happened! What a great way to spur debate.

    The fact that there even ARE assault weapons pins is disgusting.

    As for the Miley/Dolly duet, we used to sing "Free to Be, You and Me" in our music class in elementary school. Basically the same message. How is it that we're moving BACKWARDS as a culture?!

    1. It amazes me, too, that people think a gun pin is appropriate, especially in the wake of ANOTHER school shooting.
      And we are clearly moving backwards, proving we have learned nothing.,

  8. Have you seen the WAPO article diagramming the damage an assault weapon can have on the human body? If there was ever an argument for civilians having weapons to wage war on one another, this article kills them all stone cold dead https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/ar-15-damage-to-human-body/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f001

  12. Crazy in moderation is a wonderful thing in my book so keep fighting the good fight, Carlos. Bad joke observed and approved. Thanks, Bob. Minx did have a lot of dongs. I enjoyed the show and glad to see it found a second life. Take care, friend.

    Are you always this horny in the springtime? I’d hit ‘‘em both on alternating days…

  14. How utterly vile that some elected representatives in Washington choose to wear assault weapon badges about their person. Those symbols stand for death - not freedom. I have just seen the news that Trump has been indicted by brave and right-thinking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Shame on those warped Republicans who seem to believe that Trump should be above the law. In America, citizens are meant to be equal.

    1. That's our GOP sadly, that cares more about the gun owner and the gun than dead children.

    1. The Crumbley's should be forced to share a cell.

      Yeah, I loved the way Tuxedo made himself comfortable no matter where he stopped.

  17. Tuxedo is so beautiful. Pass on both of the flavors of the week. Can't wait for the bible to be banned. Have you read it? It's like monkeys at the typewriter.
