OT-Dead Harvest

It's bullshit. Farmers there are pissing and moaning because cheap subsidized water has been cut off. It makes no sense to grow water-guzzling crops in a desert.

As usual, Wieber contradicts himself. He has previously said many times that he lives a charitable life in a conservative paradise. So why did his god cut off his rain and his income and suck a blanket into his lathe and make all his vehicles break down? :)

My "god"? Which one would that be?

Other than Yama, of course.

I keep a sharpened uchigatana racked above the incense burner and my statue of the Buddha in my home shrine.

Perhaps you should remember what Rensai Buddists are historically known for.

You will never reach Satori.

I keep a vibratory case tumbler above mine. Each to their own.

My grandmother used to have a little Buddha that was holding an ashtray. She said it was a candy dish, but I knew it was an ashtray.

I suppose so, if you smoke incense.

It had a little lip for a cigarette.

Sixty years ago, when I was a kid, there were all kinds of novelty ashtrays. I have one I inherited from her. It's a bronze crab. The top shell is hinged, and there's an ashtray underneath the shell.

But she didn't smoke, so she put mints and jelly beans in them. She also had a blackface lawn jockey with white lips and a cast iron hitching post at the curb, with a tie ring, but no horse.

My parents had a similar dispenser that fascinated me as a kid.

Today she would have #blackliesmatter picketing on the lawn...

A buddy of mine has a white horse jockey on his front yard. He is black.

I've been told that I can put Pink Flamingoes in the front yard only if I can find a Garden Gnome "jockey" to ride herd on them.

No. You have a negative net worth. Very negative. You'd need to win a lottery to become lower class.

I'll bet they're made in NJ, too. We have an eclectic approach to fine art.

Isn't the finger the state bird?

It would be a good candidate, but I think it's the twin-engined mosquito.

Lol, walk right in, sit right down and let it all hang out. That's an admission you might come to regret.

Hmm, will have to look around more.

Cool.

I keep thinking of something along the lines of the 'Sandpeople' from Tattoine, or the Tureg of Nord Afrika. Or the poster art from Wizards. But first, replace the bathroom.

I don't know the implications of this new-found water but I hope it stifles the dreams of the left to destroy this country.

I'm waiting for Obammy's daughters to shower with some 50 yr old men that claim the right to use the girls' showers.
