Just roast me and then toast me with the libation of your choice.
Laugh, cry, reminisce.

No gyrations necessary.

A little cranked up Grateful Dead at the service is a given.

Whirling optional.

I wish that I could view your attachment. I see nothing but that annoying little pale blue box with a question mark encased.

I choose to assume that it's a positive note.

Weird.

I see it now.

Nice.

But tie-dyed dresses, roses, skulls and dancing bears will be appreciated.

huh. wonder why. displaying fine for me. even in your reply

it's a whirling dervish
Here it is as a link instead of a IMG.

Well, whatever the compatibility, I did see it.

Thanks, though I envision more the cartoon Tasmanian Devil.

But what the hell, I'll be gone and not give a shit at the time!

Tried to find a whirling concert goer with a fatty in their hand.....
since you're a fan of the arts, thought you might like a troupe of dervish.

me, just burn me up and toss me in the wind at my favorite beach!
Power drinking and partaking is optional but preferred. toes in the sand a must.

That's the way to do it!

just remember to instruct the designated tosser to be downwind from others who might be there.

Avoid that Big Lebowski moment.

Yes!

I posted this in the "Music" thread, but this deserves a post here, as well:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DPJqwFKJd1A" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

While clearly impressive; clearly extremely impressive-- it strikes me that without any background information or vetting that if I had to guess, she comes from an affluent place where she can play with all that nice gear in a sound stage to great result, but just looking at her wrists hitting the set on down beats, I'd wonder if she could play some of Danny's sets in a live environment. You can't just mic up the drums without a ton of background going into the mix. Danny is an absolute beast and when he lays it down, it booms around the auditorium.

Just a casual observation on a talented performer doing a great drum set cover.

Here's an absolutely outstanding view at Danny's craft without the rest of the band at full volume. Everytime I see them play live he steals the show for me. And I've seen them seven times now.

About a week or so, my post count was a little over 16,000. I just noticed that my post count is now showing 15,969. WTF?

When keeping track of how many states you've been to do you guys count airports or not?

In Charlotte en route to NY. Debating if my map gets a pon stuck in North Carolina or not.

Well you were there. I guess it depends on what your map stands for. Setting foot in the state, or hanging out in the state. Did you have a cocktail on your layover, if so, definitely lol.

Porn star Christiana Cinn says Domino's Pizza delivery driver offered her $200 for sex | Fox News


Makes a career out of taking money for having sex. Gets upset when some dude offers her money for sex....

I'm supportive of sexual harassment policy, etc., but not sure about this one.

There is a really weird morality in that industry. They get paid to have sex on film, but won't prostitute themselves to random guys (though some do). They'll strip on the side, but won't do something like a private dance. It's a really weird community.

I'm all for people doing what they want, career or personal lives. I just scratch my head a bit in these types of grey areas. Nobody should be harassed, but the lines are a little blurry here. Wonder if the delivery guy knew she was a porn star.

I actually blame the parenting, not the porn in a situation like this....

The porn in and of itself? No. The accessibility of porn today though, is (at least partially) because of the industry. Parents have to do more to monitor their children, but it's so easy to get it. I think Whiskey has mentioned too, the kind of porn available to young kids today. Hell go back to when I was 12 (2001) and the internet didn't have NEARLY as much readily available FREE graphic stuff out there like today.

I still would need to:
A, Get a Playboy or other magazine
B, Find a few free previews of ~3 minutes of "normal" porn
C, Pictures of naked celebrities online.

It's vastly changed in the last 17 years.

The average American kid gets his own smart phone long before middle school starts. How are you supposed to keep them away from it when it's just a click away at any moment? Even if you refuse to get them a smart phone, all their friends have one, and kids spend more time at school with their peers than they do with their parents.

If parenting is to blame, then the vast majority of American parents today are guilty of serious negligence. And even if that's true, where does it get us? The law is instructive. That which is tolerated soon becomes normalized.

Parents just need to parent IMO. I agree the availability poses challenges, but it's as much about kids behavior/attitude about sex as it is the kids being able to watch porn. Even in the 80s, one could always get their hands on a VHS, etc.. Somebody had a an older brother, etc.. Anyway, I saw porn as a young kid, but I'd never walk up to someone at the age of 12 and ask that.... It all starts at home...

What you saw as a young kid is nothing compared to what kids are watching now. And there's a rapidly growing body of evidence showing how much damage it's doing to younger generations.

Sure you're right. Someone had a VHS, but it was still relatively hard to get it. Now, a kid could be watching it on the bus on his/her ride home from school. They can pop it on while playing video games, in the park hanging out with friends. It's now everywhere the child is. When they are watching porn where the male walks up to a woman and asks her to have sex, she agrees, and they do these kids see that as how easy it is to happen. There's so much to this that you can't point to one problem, but you cannot put it on the parents and home life all the time.

They're behavior and attitude are getting distorted because of their ability to watch the porn so young so frequently. The parents don't have the opportunity now to guide them as easily as before.

yes, way too much is tolerated... barn door opened, the cow is miles away....
you don't sound very "woke" Whiskey...

Just my opionion.... but smartphones to young kids has always been a bad idea. phones and other tech allowed at school, always a bad idea. parents not educating their kids in a healthy manner about sex before they have access to porn is a problem.
