Motherfuck. The minute they fix cancer and emphysema I'm going to start smoking again. This is a very stupid thought to have, but I'm having it really hard right now.
Why yes, a packed family restaurant during the lunch hour is the perfect time to get in a domestic with your wife ,guy, yes please scream cunt some more in front of all these kids.
So, my unemployed mother in law, whom we've been supporting by renting her house, has given us our two month notice.
Her reason is, that after 7 years, she can't stand how disorganized and messy we are.
Her real reason is: Her sister passed away, leaving a sizable inheritance, allowing her to pay off the mortgage, a new car, and allowing her to lounge on her couch and smoke tonnes of cigarettes.
I mean, I'm okay with the real reason (being able to afford your own place is awesome), but the fact she decides to frame it as all our fault pisses me off. Last time I seriously considered moving us out, she played the guilt card and claimed she would have to sell the house.
Silver lining is said late Sister had tonnes of unused dishes, cookware, and utensils, so we have an entire kitchen we don't have to buy for. Only thing we'll need is a couch.
So there was a Lucille Ball bronze statue erected somewhat recently in, I think, her home town. And if memory serves it also doesn't look a whole lot like her. Maybe bronze statue creation is no longer a talent humanity has?

I have a cousin who's a very well-respected sculptor who specializes in Horses. If you've seen a statue of a mounted historical figure that was commissioned within the last 15 years or so for a monument or government building in the US, there's a decent chance she did the horse half.
When her amazing horses get paired up with some other sculptor's gnarly leering homonculus that's supposed to be Teddy Roosevelt or Paul Revere or whoever, she gets so pissed. But the equipment and materials costs are apparently a much bigger obstacle to getting into that line of work than the education requirements, so it's not uncommon to find bronze sculptors with a lot more passion than skill.

That makes sense - you can doodle on any old bit of paper, but it's not like you'll find a pile of clay, some bronze and whatever the mounds are made out of and go, "Ooo, a chance to brush up on the ol' bronze sculpting techniques"
It's almost like PETA isn't interested in depicting reality!

Unfortunately, there have been many groups and organizations throughout history, many of them reprehensible, the vast majority utilizing symbolism. Upon a thorough literature review and meta-analysis, it has been determined that Earth's last remaining symbol that has not been irrevocably tainted by association with some load of assholes is this fish:
Please use it responsibly. If we blow it with this fish, it's just swastikas all the way down.
(I referenced Les Dawson at work today, and one of the managers said, "You're too young to remember him!" which is a pretty dumb thing to say if you think about it. I'm not contemporary with Oscar Wilde, but I know who he is.)
Someone tell peta that your body regularly fights off invasive microscopic organisms looking to infect you.
If you have ever had the flu an gotten better? You are no better than a murderer.
PETA actively kills animals.
It's kind of nuts.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

as a former mindful ovo-lacto-pescatarian and someone who believes in the importance of animal rights/welfare, Peta the organization is another loud asshole making the rest of us look bad

Before I read the text of your post I thought "ha, that fish looks like an egoraptor freeze-frame"
So, in my previous rant, I complained that my mother in law was kicking us out, after years of guilt tripping us to stay.
Half a year ago, a neighbour and friend moved out of his house and offered to rent to us. We were seriously considering it, but she pulled the whole "Ill have to sell my house then"
Today, while taking Mini Muzz for a walk, I just happened to see him delivering a rent receipt to the tenant, and we got to talking. Turns out, his tenants just gave their 60 day notice, which means the house will be vacant... exactly on the day we move out.
Suddenly a giant load has been lifted off my back.
I have either the flu or some sort of seriously nasty sinus infection. And today is the party for my 31st birthday. If I did not feel like shit I world be fucking pissed.

I am irrationally annoyed with my phone autocorrect including emoji's as the primary suggestion for a word.
Not the secondary suggestion. That wouldn't bother me that much. But if i spent the time to swipe spell out "spaghetti", i do not then want to replace that word with a picture.
It's not a big thing, just a tiny personal, old lady yelling at clouds thing.
I am out of pain meds, and can't find a comfortable position to sleep. Over the counter meds pretty much vanish into my big stupid Sasquatch body without giving any indication that I've digested them, and even pretty damn serious prescription stuff was only barely having an impact. But I have no idea how to bring this up with my doctor without sounding like I'm just trying to get more high.

Just tell him that. Physicians know the difference between drug-seeking behavior and those who truly need help.

i'm actually not mad about this
Tip to toe, that's a Christiano.
Sculpting is hard, ya'll.
[edit] Gah, we're all just McElroy joke repeaters, ain't we.

cause damn that first one was not good.

Stay classy, PETA
I ended up looking up a video of a professional sheerer from Ireland and it was super neat actually. Dude is really good at sheering.
that said I wish I could drink milk honestly. I'm lactose intolerant. I wonder how Jordan Peele feels about that tweet?

So what's chocolate milk? If I drink chocolate milk am I stickin it to the man? I don't understand Peta.
If you have ever had the flu an gotten better? You are no better than a murderer.

It's kind of nuts.
Bacteria aren't animals, Uriel.
PETA are idiots but I mean, come on now.
I mean that's true, but when has anything like truth or logic ever entered into what they do?
They still actively killed some animals.
Or maybe it was they adopted animals then kill them.
I can't remember, PETA is just awful, never support them,
PETA's stance is that killing animals is more humane than allowing them to live in captivity.
As in, literally, killing somebody's pet is preferable to not killing somebody's pet.
