WTF does this piece of shit even mean?
...especially when it's flying next to this?
Especially in this nest of Trumpery, I just couldn't decide whether they're kidding or not. No clue, but I'll happily shit on both of 'em before I burn them. Fucking traitor rags, both of 'em. |

To make matters even worse, I suspect that's Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie in the second flag.

OK, the fantastic dinosweaters for Christmas turn put to be made in, and shipped from, somewhere in India. It would explain the tans on most of the models.
But.
Who the funk even wears a sweatshirt in India? Most of it is blazing hot all year.
And.
Do enough people in India celebrate Christmas that these are actually selling over there? Because what Americanski is gonna fork over the $50 S&H for a $21 item, however fabulous?

And then there are the Catholics and Anglicans left over by the colonial regimes. Re: sweatshirts --if you get into some of the regions with higher elevations, I'm pretty sure it gets damn cold. Most of the territorial conflict with Pakistan over Kashmir is fought in snow by alpine troops. |

WTF is a Xian?
(she asked, enjoying the mental image of troops going bravely into snowy combat wearing moon boots and sweatshirts printed with T. Rexes in Santa hats shooting lightning bolts out of their mouths...)

A Christian. Some of the real ones seem to find it offensive, although that seems like it's more the byproduct of the fact that it's used by some secularists than any actual offensiveness in the name itself. |

"X" == "Chi" from Greek. One of the reasons Xmas doesn't actually mean leaving out the Baby Jesus -- just using an initial. |

Exactly. They just don't like the fact that Richard Dawkins uses it. Although, to be fair, he may use it in part because it pisses them off, so it could be a vicious circle.

I wonder if the artist behind this political cartoon is any relation to the great Basil?

In Net terms, this is already ancient news, but even as I was watching Bird Box (2018), I was thinking, "Some asshole is going to go and try that".

After starring in the remake of THE WICKER MAN, you'd think he would have learned his lesson. Nothing, nothing can ever muscle aside the original DIE, MONSTER, DIE! |

It was brief, but the monster scene in DIE, MONSTER, DIE! still gets me giddy.
I'm willing to forgive the Cage casting in my excitement about Stanley taking a crack at Lovecraft. Magnificent or disastrous, it will undoubtedly be interesting. His Lovecraftian The Mother of Toads segment in the anthology The Theater Bizarre (2011) was fantastic.

Speaking of head-scratchers, there's someone at my true crime group at GR whose comments on cases usually consist of either "I've heard of that case" or "I've never heard of that case." She astounded us all the other day by saying she'd never heard of Watergate. I went to her profile and it says she's 31 years old. Works at a school. Lives in the USA where the word "Watergate" has been on everyone's lips for at least the last year, and has never really been out of the public conciousness since the early 1970s. Whiskey tango foxtrot!
