IDK that it's a good idea to tell a message board you're full of sh*t. :lol: :dance: :boxing:
Apparently you don't know that I have several horses, who produce manure on a regular basis. There's a reason why I have an avatar of a lovely Arabian mare.
I figured you had horses, dog kennel, or multiple farm animals. I'd have really been wondering about you if not. LOL

supply chain diverted....
Fuel 'worth more than £250,000' stolen from high-security Royal Navy base
The diesel was siphoned from a tanker in a heist that reportedly "ran for weeks," with most of it having been "flogged on the black market".

Thursday 7 April 2022 12:38, UK

The fuel would have filled up electricity generators hat powering the HMS Bulwark,

An investigation is under way after diesel reported to be worth more than £250,000 was stolen from a high-security Royal Navy base.

The fuel was siphoned from a tanker and was due to fill up electricity generators powering the HMS Bulwark, a 19,560-tonne assault ship, at HMNB Devonport in Plymouth.

Thieves accessed the base and stole the diesel, which belonged to contractor Babcock International, in September 2021.

The fuel was worth more than £250,000, according to The Sun.

The newspaper added that "the heist ran for weeks" and "most of the diesel has been flogged on the black market" as UK motorists deal with record-breaking rises in fuel prices.

Cattle Truck Driver in I-80 Crash That Spilled Cows Onto Road Charged With DUI

A truck driver who crashed on Interstate 80 Tuesday, letting more than a dozen cattle he was hauling loose on the expressway near Joliet, was found to be under the influence of drugs while driving, police said.

The driver went off the road near Houbolt Road and crashed into a disabled semitrailer on the shoulder around 3:40 p.m., Illinois State Police said.

He veered back onto the expressway, struck another car and then crashed into the median wall.

During the crash, the truck driver’s trailer was ripped open. 16 of the 33 cattle he was hauling were thrown onto the expressway, state police said.

State troopers had to put down two of the cattle due to their injuries. Nearby farmers on horseback helped gather the remaining cattle, which were hauled to a storage facility.
There is video of cattle wandering around the interstate.

A woman did that.

I don't think any male rock 'n' roller has ever peed on anyone's face on stage during a performance. Never. In the history of rock 'n' roll. Ever.

But now a woman did it.


That's progress, yesno? That's society moving forward. :roll:


Do you know how many rock concerts I went to over the years? No, of course you don't. Nobody does. I don't know. 'Course, it hasn't affected my hearing. What? What did you say? :P :batting:


Anyway, even at outdoor events people knew where to pee. Jeez. :oldman:
Edit: In ten years we'll all be, like, "Oh yeah, I remember back before every rock band's singer started peeing on everybody ..."
A little late to the party on this, but...

Matt Gaetz paid two Russian Hookers $1000 to do that, it's the MAGA Eucharist.

‘Having sex with women is gay’: White nationalist praises involuntary celibacy


https://www.rawstory.com/nick-fuentes-gay/


OK, I have no clue how this guy's mind works. At all. None. :shock:

The headline is a bit off. What he actually said was that dating women is gay. Apparently the only real heterosexual stance is to not have sex at all. Unless women just give you sex without you doing anything whatsoever to deserve it. Like dating, or marriage. Or just being clean, kind and friendly. Or interesting, or moderately attractive. Nada. :crazy:

Its probably using "gay" in the new modern slang meaning, where its signifying that something is stupid and a bit pathetic.

The slang use of "gay" has been changing in the last decade and a half or so, moving away from the Homosexual meaning. Ironically this is becasue the Homosexual side of things isn't seen as terrible as before, so slang moved on. This has been upsetting some quarters as they accuse everyone of stealing "their" word.

I recon this will come up more and more and will confuse those who don't want to admit what's happening to language.

That's undoubtedly a very common usage, and sketchy at best, but this guy repeatedly juxtaposes "gay" with "heterosexual" explicitly. Maybe it's some of both.

He strikes me as the type who is fine with the concept of rape, and would always blame the victim. He may even admire rapists.

The guy's flakier than a French pastry. :roll:
