I’m a little behind on the news because, honestly, who can keep up?!
I spent Saturday, with the exception of my Zoom workout, goofing around the house. I made banana bread and pizza dough and the Mr. made a grilled pork loin.
Did you do anything fun this weekend? Got any news I missed? Drop it below the line.
I have nothing to add here, just watch and tell me that’s normal.
Same shit, different day.

Harvey Weinstein’s deformed penis explained

-CoVID19 will only have one long ugly wave in the US because of the ineptitude/stupidity/craveness of Trump. A case for not voting for the stupidest/weakest/childish person as your leader.
-Harvey’s deformed dysfunctional dick is fitting for a guy who spent decades abusing people with it.
The Fox News/Monty Python gaffe was a thing of beauty. The median age of a Fox viewer is 65 (some sources say it skews higher.) “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” came out in 1975. So, the median Fox viewer would have been 20 when Holy Grail came out, which puts them in the group most likely to have seen it in a theater. Many would have been stoned, no doubt, but whatever. I wonder how many of them immediately recognized the reference and thought, “These morons…”
Honestly? Probably not many. The Python movies were popular but tended to draw a niche audience. Remember, movies didn’t need to make many billions of dollars back then to be called successful. My friends and I went to see them but we were the college-bound nerdy/artsy types (my best friend was gay and became an attorney, for example). I think Fox News tends to appeal to the others, who have less education and faced more limited opportunities and are now terrified of “others” taking over “their” country. Those weren’t the people watching Monty Python, either on television or at the movies. Obviously, my experience is anecdotal, but I’m pretty sure I’m right. I guess what I’m saying is that the Fox News crowd isn’t likely to appreciate sophisticated humor. Very few conservatives actually do.
I’m pretty sure you are right. The typical Fox viewer was watching whatever Convoy, Smokey & the Bandit, or Death Wish/Dirty Harry movie was out at the time.
I just read this review of Convoy that makes me want to see it.

He says he’s changed his mind from thinking it’s Sam Peckinpah’s worst movie to one of most awesomeist. It may be worth a look.
I saw it as a kid, remember the song more than the movie. My dad bought CB radios because of that movie but nobody else had them around us.
I loved that song as a kid – tried to get my dad to get a cb radio – he wasn’t interested.
That was my favorite movie besides Star Wars when I was 7 years old. “You ever seen a duck that couldn’t swim?” Brilliant film.
I’m not reading about Harvey Weinstein’s deformed penis this early in the morning! I’ve got to have a few drinks in me before that happens.
I’m not reading about it but I am going to see them live tonight, they are opening for the Janitors of Anarchy.
Back when some of the grossest and most criminal Weinstein acts were coming to light 70 years ago (two years ago, seems like a lifetime the way 2020 has been going) one I specifically remember was he cornered a woman somewhere in Socialista, whipped it out, and masturbated into a potted plant in front of her. I seemed to remember it was a ficus.
About a week later I had some friends over and we (who knows why, but we make our own fun) decided to drunkenly make up the most foul names we could for a post-punk band, with the restriction being it could only be two words. My entry was, “Harvey’s Ficus.” I won!
Only TWO years ago!
I was momentarily scared when you said: we make our own fun…
Wasn’t 💯 sure where that was going.

re: trump drinking water
give the guy a break, things are not so easy at his advanced age
🙂
btw, I wouldn’t do it to anyone, but trump and his ilk?
fuck them, fuck them with a spiky stick
“What Was Trump Asked About?” The Game | The Daily Show
OMG
something similar to the mother’s day gift answer in your life?
I can’t get enough of Hasan Minhaj. If you have not watched the Patriot Act, it is well worth the time to check it out on Netflix.
that was crazy good, thanks shaq
Some of the episodes are really funny and informative. The whole series is amazing on some great subjects but he was definitely not in a joking mood for this one! The NRA global impact episode & “Don’t Ignore Asian Vote in 2020” are really good on subjects you never hear anyone talk about.
And Happy Obama Day!
Trump is a number two. A whole big pile of it.
