OT: I’m not S.M. King, but I do want to say that I love your new banner image.

Thank you. I was looking to make an image that said it all succinctly. Copped some of the sentiments from The Boy Scout Oath, but that’s okay because they’re not using it any longer.

The image and the sentiment are excellent and speak to a time now lost. May-bee it is recoverable? But only if we discard the national HR Department and their insistence on micro-managing by checklist; all the wrong-headed ideas from empty-headed screeching female cat collectors. “Diversity is our strength”, “Climate Change is Man-Made”, “Comply With the Mandatory Injection Policy”, “Wear A Mask”, “The Sky is Falling” and all the other child-like fears harbored by insecure chicks with daddy issues.
We were all better off with mom at home, dad at work, and granddad a short drive away. Grandad who had a morning bourbon toddy now and again and knew honor and honesty when he saw it, because he lived it. Sharp men, as your dad described himself – I never met your dad but I damned sure knew him, and plenty like him.
Yes, those days are recoverable. But not with the present troupe of prancing fools we have put in charge.

True, and the sad truth is that they may well have to be killed to be stopped. I guess when dealing with prancing fools the best thing to do is to lead them just a bit.

My sentiment exactly but I tend to keep silent as it’s not my blog to jeopardize.

How much wood would a Wood Chipper chip if a Wood Chipper could chip wood?

Travail, Famille, Patrie.
God knows the West needs to discover the value of real and not imaginary hand-waving work. And ‘We’ *are* a Conquered People just right now. Might trigger some Normies, though. Best. Mineral. Water. Ever.
Deus, Pátria, e Familia — Salazar’s Estado Novo… Perfectly non-contentious IMHO. So what’s not to like unless lusting after a one-way helicopter trip?
Not that I’ve got anything against the late great General Franco, but his Spain’s motto is just too Business as Usual Boilerplate.

Mineral Water. Heh.

A colleague and a fine gentleman to boot once said to me when I ordered a bottle of Vittel instead of another shot at 3am in a bar called Amazonia (yes, it was jungly) in Wanchai: ‘Why do you drink that stuff? Fish fuck in it!’

Excellent point. Was your friend William Dukenfield?
ThisIsNotNutellaSeptember 17, 2022, 4:57 PM
Nope… But as an accomplished Porcelain Bus Driver (‘Driving the Porcelain Bus == UK slang for barfing) he likely knows more about the WC field up close and personal than most mere unpickled mortals.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
