Ace, of course. Which is better, this:
a penguin-sucker of the Swedish variety.
or this:
snow-wops and icebacks
or this:
. . . the puffin-sucking luge-humping shaved Yetis we know as “Scandinavians.”
By the way, for those of you who are exceptionally sensitive (or these days, just about everybody), Ace is about as far from “sensitive” or PC as it gets.

From a discussion group. I offer it with no comment, except a “Geez, am I that old?” groan:

Also, the records (four in total) were issued with side one and side 8 on one record, with side 2 and 7 sharing the next lp, etc. Whatever could have been the reason behind this practice? I could […]

On the television now (the 1965 performance, from the Kleines Festspielhaus in Salzburg, with Karl Böhm (and who else would you want to conduct Strauss, other than Strauss himself?), Sena Jurinac, Reri Grist, Hildegard Hillebrecht, and Jess Thomas). You can see Grist singing Zerbinetta’s Aria and Hillebrecht and Thomas in the finale here. Jurinac sings […]

Another thing about the restaurants here. We have yet to see fried chicken on a menu — and I mean fried chicken, not some boneless tit fried and served with some silly reduction (you do see that on menus here). I mean, what do these people eat on Sundays?
So I guess I’m going to have […]

Another contender for line of the week:
Somewhat like your typical PETA member.
You really need to read the whole thing to appreciate it fully.

You’ll want to read this (and sincere thanks to Jules Crittenden for the link).

From the Gun Nut:
Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

“The preposterous is now normal.”

Silenced in BushAmeriKKKa!

Hot tea is okay (apologies to the rest of the Anglosphere). I like it, though I don’t like the tannin — what’s good about drinking something that makes you thirsty? So unless I’m in someone else’s home and they offer me (hot) tea, I only drink iced tea.
Well no. Sweet tea (not to be confused […]

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Pennsylvania’s largest gun shop–and just 30 miles away! Of course, there’s Lion Country Supply on the other side of Skytop (though I hear they’re expensive), J&E Guns right across from the courthouse in Bellefonte, Robbins Gun Shop, also in Bellefonte, Rapid Fire Sports in Centre Hall, and a guy who has a family business not […]

Denny Nau isn’t the only Sheriff in Pennsylvania who respects the Constitution and has his head on straight: Sheriff against efforts to limit handgun sales.

Okay, I knew this would get me in trouble. Look, all shopping is not equal. Grocery shopping is entirely different from, say, looking at cars or guns.
Let’s say you need cocoa. You have two options: dutch-process or regular. For either, you may have three brands. Provided you don’t have a brand preference, it takes all […]

We stumbled upon this just down the street from the Old Market, right around the corner from where we were staying:

We watched the episodes on TiVO after we got back. You know, the altruistic stuff is great, but that’s all Discovery has run since they gave Trademark their own show, and I’d like to know […]
