[Citizen X - #6]

Fucking Britches.

[Chinny Chin Chin]

Worst.

Alt-text.

Ever.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

The economy grows because Trump made the country grow a pair.

YOU HEARD ME.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

*hugs Rufus*

[Rufus The Monocled]

/sobs. Mutters lowly 'you heard me'.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

I also see Citizen X got a first confirmation without a link quote...

Special exceptions are made when the comment points out the uttet disdain of Dialtone Britches for the sanctity of PM links.

At least when Robby did it, it was because he was posting from his convertible, with a cocktail in hand and the breeze through his hair. Christian is probably rushing off to bible study.

U.S. economy grew at 3% rate in 3rd Quarter, despite storms.

Or because broken windows.

[Hank Stamper]

Or because of Brigitte Bardot. \

Oakland experiences the trials and tribulations of marijuana legalization.

There is no mellow path to true legalization.

[Fuck =><= sevo]

Come on Bitschgi...

Barron.

Louis XIII, with gold silk brocade upholstery. And a brass plaque on the back that says "TRUMP".

U.S. investigating foreign exchange trading at Wells Fargo.

Looks like investigators want to know how...

[dons sunglasses]

...far they go to the wells.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

The donning of the glasses should go between "they go" and "to the wells."

[Fist of Etiquette]

Don't be stupid.

[Juice]

The economy might just grow into those stock valuations. Probably not.

AMZN is up to $1100/share on $0.52/share earnings. Whatchagonnado?

[creech]

Short it. But, unfortunately, the bubble may burst long after your short needs to be covered.

[Rufus The Monocled]

S&P seems a tad pricey but DOW is showing normal P/E multiples historically speaking. There are freak shows that make no sense driven by sentiment like Tesla.

Cruel, privacy invading link of the day:

"Is assistant state attorney last living descendant of Abraham Lincoln?

"Tim Beckwith doesn't want to talk about it....

"...in November 1967, [Lincoln descendant Robert Beckwith] married German-born Annemarie Hoffman. She was 27. He was 63 and early into Parkinson's disease.

"Six months later, he learned his new bride was with child: Tim. This was a surprise to Robert, he claimed. Recounting a vasectomy six years earlier, he had a doctor declare him "completely sterile."

"In "The Last Lincolns: The Rise and Fall of a Great American Family," author Charles Lachman writes that Beckwith claimed Annemarie confessed to an adulterous pregnancy and suspected his chauffeur, whom he fired....

"A judge eventually ruled Tim was the result of an adulterous encounter but did not preclude him from continuing to pursue his alleged birthright. [referring to a trust for the Lincoln descendants]...

"...[a teenage Tim Beckwith] and his mother took the money and agreed to the [reportedly million-dollar] settlement."

U.S. investigating foreign exchange trading at Wells Fargo.

Yo. Most normal people don't subscribe to the Wall St. Journal.

[Eidde]

If you can't afford the link, you're little people.

[Mongo]

I was making a transaction at Wells Fargo during the Occupy Wall Street years at the teller station when I was surrounded by people chanting "CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT! CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT!"

It was the bank president and my financial advisor.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

You're only a pawn in the game of finance.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

GODDAMMIT BRITCHES, HERE IS A FULL-BOAT SCHOLARSHIP TO CLEVELAND STATE.

TAKE IT!!111!!!111!111!!11!

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

This is what happens when US Corporations move to Kanukistan to escape stupid taxes.

Should your slogan be updated to "Have It Your Way (Because We Don't Give A Fuck)"?

I hope so. That would signal the true beginning of a libertarian moment.

Problems at sex doll brothels as the clients get too wierd. This is why there are no women libertarians, we can't have nice things, and Postrel hates us.

[Eidde]

SEX DOLL BROTHEL - NO WEIRDOS, PLEASE

/sign in window

[Eidde]

The last time I got this link, I speculated that the owner was publicizing this in order to get publicity for him/herself.

[John]

Being kicked out of a sex doll brothel for being too wierd is one hell of a war story.

[Rich]

Hundreds of plastic-loving fun seekers have flocked to Barcelona to live out their most unusual desires.

Hence the declaration of independence, DUH!

[Mongo]

My Virginia Postrel love doll has an Insane Clown Posse tramp stamp.

"Critics say a perfect storm of Instagram-era online branding combined with leftist political posturing has made witchcraft the latest victim of cultural appropriation."

[Eidde]

There's an actual political candidate named Michael Hunt.

Fortunately, since people are H&R are super-mature, this won't elicit any crude responses.

[Rich]

What distinguishes you from the other candidates?

"My name. Well, except for my esteemed opponent, Hugh G. Rection."

[Don't look at me.]

What's wrong with Mike Hunt? Is Mike Hunt too hairy?

[BestUsedCarSales]

He has terrible table manners, makes me sick. It's why I never eat out with Mike Hunt.

[Gold Country Roots]

Nope, too hoary.

[EscherEnigma]

I guess I'm passing (failing?) this purity test, 'cause I don't see any jokes about that name.

[lap83]

You're right. It's not funny at all. /feminist

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

So *that*'s why you were the only one who was friends with Harry Poussi in high school.

[EscherEnigma]

Yeah, I get that one is supposed to sound like "Hairy Pussy".

But still not seeing anything from "Michael Hunt" or "Mike Hunt". Is this supposed to be an accent or slang thing?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Instead of "Mike Hunt", pretend it reads as "Mi Kehunt". Any better?

[End Child Unemployment]

Mike Hunt. Mi Khunt. My cunt.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

You had to ruin it.

[BestUsedCarSales]

It helped me, apparently I was WAY off.

[BestUsedCarSales]

It helped me, apparently I was WAY off.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

You need help? You fail as an objectivist. Twice.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I took it without asking, and without pay as a way of elevating myself. I got this objectivism on lock.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Nonsense. A true objectivist would never have admitted *needing* help in front of their rivals. You have learned very little, I see; a remedial back-to-back re-reading of Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead and Anthem is in order. I expect not to see you commenting here again until you've finished.

[gaoxiaen]

And was always chummy with Joe Zass.

[Rich]

But you *do* have Prince Albert in a can, though?

[Ornithorhynchus]

I saw Porky's back in High School. There was a scene with some Mike Hunt jokes. I didn't get it either. My brother had to explain it to me.

[MarkLastname]

This is why you gays shouldn't be allowed to vote.

[Eidde]

"...Helping companies improve in areas like; employee relations, productivity and profit margin has been my forte and I intend to use those skills to help the city of Oxford....

"...I am passionate about our youth and our seniors. I have volunteered with youth ministries and retirement homes. I want to help them as well as all citizens across the board."

[BestUsedCarSales]

He only tried more earlier this week so that we could feel the pain once more as he reamed our tight assholes. You are a cruel God Christian! Someone let Heaton do links instead.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Meh.
Heaton would just link to stuff about KALE.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

But then again, even KALE would be better than anything Effing Britches the Jester spews.
