COVID-19

Also, if you have a goatee, shave it off, that seems to be a comorbidity from what I've seen from the Herman Cain Award winners.

I don't think it is the goatee, honey, but the several chins it is invariably grown to disguise.

Either way, it's better to be safe until we can study the link.

Just shoot me.

Just shoot me.

I'm just saying I wouldn't mind not having to look at a goatee again. This anti-goatee campaign isn't starting out very well at all.

I agree, reluctantly; but if he is determined to proceed with this plan WOTR should definitely shave it given the early indications.

I suspect the underlying issue is psychological.  My piano teacher when I was a kid told me (she was a delightful old lady, probably at least 80, who lived in a spartan apartment in the basement of a huge house overlooking downtown which she rented out, with little more than a 9-foot Steinway and a collection of cordial glasses from which she sipped Creme de Menthe every evening) that men with goatees are emotionally unstable.  After considering this for the better part of my life and experience with the ruder sex I am inclined to concur, and propose the following mechanism of action:

1.  With age and inattention, fat accumulates under the chin > Fundamental lack of self-care and self-respect

2.  A glance in the mirror produces insecurity > "Am I still a man despite my increasingly infantile countenance?" = identity insecure

3.  A goatee is the solution! > the chin-definition won thereby is entirely superficial, can vanish in a few moments with a razor, he is a paper tiger, the insecurity lingers just below the surface, shy of being found out

4.  Much like short-man syndrome but hidden, the goatee-wearer rises to each challenge as though his manhood is primarily the issue at stake, he is easily baited into ill-considered feats of courage and bravado, and masks his lack of confidence with robust opinioneering and general mouthiness, the well-known AM-radio phenotype, fun to be around and talk to, who, with social media, comes into his element where he can happily chatter away and play like he has his own show where he can tell people What Is Going On, with a minimum of expense and consequence.

5. This hollow bravado, which (we must never forget) simply masks real physical weakness which he is unable to acknowledge, he cannot calculate his own risk effectively, and he occasionally succumbs, leaving a trail of contrary opinion for others to find and mock.

The inevitable lawsuit

More than 90 state troopers, correctional officers, ferry workers, city firefighters and other public sector employees in Washington have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to overturn Gov. Jay Inslee’s requirement that they get vaccinated against COVID-19, or lose their jobs.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Walla Walla County Superior Court by the Seattle law firm Arnold and Jacobowitz PLLC, alleges that Inslee is exceeding his authority and violating the rights of the workers covered by the mandate.

He also called the penalty of termination “arbitrary and capricious,” especially for employees who can work from home or have natural immunity from having previously contracted COVID-19.

It makes sense for the unvaxxed to argue for the effectiveness of natural immunity since most of you will have it here shortly but I think it is a trap, the next thing is to document it and write it down on a paper for people to check and we are back to the primary civil-liberties objection.  It will be interesting to see how quickly people give that up.

It's nothing. Go back to sleep.

Don't worry; two more weeks and I will be out of your hair 😱

Where does that leave the folks like myself?  Already had and survived (maybe twice even) the dreaded world decimating CornHoleEbola-19.5 and still don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Explain to me again exactly why, from a strictly medical standpoint, I should go find someone to inject a bunch of questionable mRNA into my body again?

I don't think they/themthe hobo elite had me get vaccinated for the Chicken Pox after I caught and survived it as a kid, and as far as I can recall the Chicken Pox was far worse than this CHE-19.5 thing.  Although, catching it during a family ski trip did seem to get me out of the lame nursery ski-school day-care thing and allowed me to ski for real.  That part was cool, I hated the kiddie ski-school concentration camp thing.

I think even as a young child I enjoyed Freedom and Self-Direction over Captivity and Authoritarian Control.

It is still my firm belief that this malarky (C'mon Man!) is primarily about money, we all know how the current occupant of the White House likes his backroom Governmental deal kickback dollars.  Anyone have a dollar amount on how much Pfizer &c are raking in per "free" Caccine dose courtesy of Uncle Sam?

What is that smell, did somone just fart in the elevator?

I think insofar as the:

...It will be interesting to see how quickly people give that up...

It seems that it is not a merely "one-sided" affair as to who is "sticking to their guns" on this issue.  The same question could be asked of certain folks currently "in power."  How tightly are the powers-that-be going to hold onto this little fasces, albeit one with a Syringe taking the place of the Axe in the faggot of sticks?



If I recall my history right, it typically doesn't end well for knuckleheads running around with the items pictured above...  Nautical Shore

Yay!  It gets lonely here sometimes during the day  I will keep you company.  So the goal is natural immunity, which is like the vaxx but with more mucous.

I think the real reason you guys don't like the vaxx is that it robs you of this chance for a heroic one-on-one struggle with the virus to prove you are worthy and unafraid.  Too many video games 

In my Jackstar way, I will allow it...

I have not had the coof. And if my mother had it, I would say there is a good chance that I might not head over to my cousins. But she did not have it yet either. I will head over to see my mother tonight and have a game before my cousins. I still have to call him- but I think showing up with a 6 pack and a deck of cards is the way to go- and I assume he will understand my reasons.

I blame the vaxxed. Now that they feel invincible and are all potential "typhoid Marry's" I don't know what else a responsible person is supposed to do. Phucking Phizer and the irresponsible vaxxed.

Good luck man.  Paladin over on the other site just posted today that he got the Delta variant - sounds like it kicked the shit out of him. 

Had my annual physical the other week. After getting a lecture from the Doc about the Vax, the topic rolled around to the tests he was ordering. I was surprised the Covid Antibody test wasn't a standard thing they would do these days. If you were vaxxed and they were low - maybe go get topped off or if you were unvaxxed and you had antibodies that seems like a good thing to know. He got all squirmy wormy and mumbled some stuff about "Stressing people out that didn't have antibodies" and refused to run it.  It was weird.

He lost the moral high ground when the Shingles vax topic came up. I'm old enough now for it and when I asked about it he said he couldn't recommend it due to side effects [it has put the hurt on everyone I know that has taken it]. I wanted to see what he said.

Hang in there!
