I'm hoping grandma marries Javier, the illegal alien helper at the assisted living facility, writes her kids and grandchildren out of her will, and then moves back to the farm with her new love and his extended family. At least she won't be lonely.

Do Grandma and Javi have Mossbergs for when the state hen cullers come knocking?

Grandma and Javier practice shooting from their rocking chairs on the porch, while sipping on tequila.

If she was my grandma, she would.

One of my uncles took the pistol away from my grandmother's house after my dad and uncles hired her day-help at age 98, for "grandma's safety".

He's a prick. I think he just wanted the gun and I doubt he even told her the gun is gone.

He wanted the gun-lol! I wonder what kind it was?

38 special, short barrel. Probably hadn't been fired since my grandfather passed away in the late 70s.

One of my favorite 80’s bands! .38 SPECIAL!

That’s a classic revolver.

The gun probably weighs more than she does now!!

Feck the globalist fascist descendants of Hitler's Nazis. Individual cooperatives are the answer with chickens, cattle and homegrown vegetables protected by lots of firearms and ammunition.

Given how depressed I feel after reading this article, it's definitely a tragedy. Thankfully I have eggs in my fridge and it's breakfast time.

Worked in chickenhouses. Nothing flammable inside. All steel.

Oh yeah?

Well how can you explain how my chicken got burned when I left it on the grill for too long? Maybe the chickens were about to have a nice meal when one of them accidentally knocked a can of gasoline over and it spilled all the way around and through the entire poultry farm. I mean, hasn't everyone known someone who's been lost in a freak gasoline fight accident?

Before you know it, they will be saying bacon is bad. Still like to eat eggs over easy on top of pancakes smothered in maple syrup. You don't know what you are missing until you try that one! Linking as always @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Here’s the Wyoming hunting breakfast recipe

One pancake topped with bacon

Second pancake topped with fried egg

Third pancake topped with butter and real maple syrup

* go heavy on all the toppings ie two eggs are better than one

Expand full comment

All toppings should be topped with maple syrup!

Always had the bacon on the side. Ate it how I described it as a kid. Pushing 70 now, but never too old to change my ways!!!

We come into this life with nothing and leave with nothing. What happens in-between is just life. It may be termed good or bad or tragic or comic all at the same time...but still it is just life. There is no "standard" or "established" kind of life other than what is created by the opinions of man, which are highly subject to human bias.

Even a dog knows when it has done something wrong. This ‘ there is no right or wrong’ is the refuge of people who are immoral, like deadbeat dads, adulterers, drug dealers. We all absolutely know what it right and wrong, beautiful or ugly (in a general sense), what in kindness and what is meaness.

Do what though wilt, that is the whole of the law? Nah, that’s just some self-justification by some pervert occultist.

somebody's always taking that line from Crowley out of context. It drives me crazy. I don't love Crowley The Beast but I don't like anyone's words/intent being twisted to make a point.

Like "money is the root of all evil" It's ****LOVE OF*** $.

Please, tell me the context. I have no problem being corrected. But although he may have meant it differently, the popular clip does summarize what many use as an excuse for gratifying their selfish desires.

Expand full comment

I agree that many use "Do as thou wilt..." as an excuse for selfish behavior but they are twisting Crowley's thoughts.

re “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" means something like “Figure out your true spiritual purpose and then try your best to achieve it.” Pay no mind to the judgements of others.

Crowley was called a Satanist by religious zealots but he never actually espoused Satanism, as far as I know. Sure, he had many disgusting habits and was targeted for going against many grains.

Later there was rephrasing of "do what thou wilt..."

to “an it harm none, do what ye will” follow your path, considerate of others and your own desires.

“The key of joy is disobedience.” – Aleister Crowley

Some ppl during Crowley's era would have found that quite disturbing.

And this, “If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.” – Aleister Crowley

So then, of course, he must be a Satanist...

Bet if we put a gorgeous naked woman in front of you and an ugly, morbidly obese naked woman in front of you, you might react in what the majority calls ‘the standard way’.

So over here at the GC Substack still gotta be getting on that "morbidly obese woman" = disgusting BS.

I guess you are not a fan of Reuben's art???

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder not in the pages of fashion magazines.

Expand full comment

I agree, that in a general sense, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But you could scientifically test the theory of what people find beautiful, what catches their attention by any similar version of what I suggested.

Being morbidly obese will never be healthy, beautiful or positive in any way, no matter how much the beast system tries to sell it otherwise. And I don’t believe the beast believes it either. It’s just another way to fracture the mind and create division.

There's some notes I've been writing regarding your disturbing post The Zookeeper's Guide to Wild Americans. Sorry I am not on the timetable of commenting within 48hrs or so.

"Being morbidly obese will never be healthy, beautiful or positive in any way, " Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There are ppl I find "unattractive" but I keep that to myself.

Are you saying, "Trust the science when it comes to obesity?" So what of "the science"? Why is it anybody's beeswax if someone is fat and tired of being taken in by WW/Jenny C/Nutrisyst/drugs/surgery...

Why can't fat ppl just live their lives??? Don't socialize with them if you are disgusted.

There is support for bodily autonomy when it comes to fake vaccines but hold it when it comes to fat.

Those ppl on the "fat reality shows" are being exploited for laughs and probably paid by Big Pharma who controls all the weight loss industry.

The division is the usefulness of fat ppl as a scapegoat.

OK, that's it for here for today. I'll post in comments under "Zookeeper..." soon.

It's a farce. It's a tragedy. It's a comedy. It's a cluster-pfluck of absurdities. Which you captured well.

Best to laugh when ever you can. I wonder... how longs these bodies will actually go when they are not under constant assault?

Great read!

Next time I hear someone talking about the need for speech moderation i.e. censorship, I'm going to steal and use your line...

Clearly humanity has blindly devolved into species suicide cloaked in self parody so abundant that SNL is overwhelmed when it comes to selecting source material (even though they sold out long ago!) - but hey, I love Earth!!

I am so glad that I am not the only one being depressed by the repetitive Substack inbox nonsense!

Yes, it is all tragic and comedic simultaneously..... BUT I have found a new thought form to rescue my consciousness from the drama. Wanna know what it is?

Well (pause for effect)......

I gaze East, out of my window at dawn and observe the solar dimming geo-engineering, criss-crossing the sky. I potter into the kitchen and make the best quality coffee I can and savour that while sucking a square of Lindt Sea Salted dark chocolate. Then I scroll down my emails and mark them all as read, with great pleasure at having avoided reading even one of them.

I watch a couple of short videos from my favourite dog shelter in Crete, where the sun still shines and 400+ pooches wag their tails, as they recover from whatever bad experiences they had before they were rescued to roam around Takis' beautiful home. https://www.youtube.com/live/gn7dUE-s9jc?feature=share

I watch a carpet being cleaned and restored in Poland. https://youtu.be/jRedf9h5ZRA

And then I admire the amazing engineering of my new vacuum cleaner robot as it negotiates its domain, my home!

With these little secret pleasures I am stoked and ready to face whatever the 2023 Grim-hog day brings.....

Nicely done Frances. It's good to find a routine that doesn't start the day in the dumps. I do the same with the inbox. Scan the headlines, see more of the same old, select 90% for insta-deletion. The other 10% get opened. Maybe half get my full attention, on a good day. Then lately its Franz List while I make coffee. No chem trails here over west coast Mexico, yet.

Nice location! I am on the south coast of Blighty where a day without chemtrails would be a severe shock to the system!

LMAO. FOOMCL. It's vital to keep a sense of humor to keep one's head above water in these flood-times. This chucklesome essay is full of fascinating facts and provocative perspectives. ROFL. I welcome the opportunity to throw around these cool cyber-slang acronyms to virtue-signal how hip I am even though I don't even own a smartphone.

Funny thing about all the egg farms; their eggs pretty much sucked anyway, nutrition wise. Silver lining.
