Your Chance to Feel Superior

At least you don't play professional tiddlywinks.

If you do, and you're male, please, for God's sake, turn in your man card.

(via NRO's Corner, where Mr. Miller also points out that, yes, Virginia, there is a professional tiddlywinks association.)

Excuse me, I need to go and kill some Nazis in Call of Duty 2 to make up for reading the article.

Ah yes... There is nothing quite like firin' up the ol' Playstation and killing Nazis to pass the time... heh.

So satisfying...

I have not gotten around to buying COD2 yet. Maybe when Ace ponies up the dough for this guest blogger gig *cough* I will get it.

Untill then, I am going to be firing up Game Spy and playing some good old COD1

Phrases such as: "It's a good potting squidger," "If you're on this, you boondock" and "The blue's over the yellow -- I could consider double-booning" filled the air.

And I thought I WAS a geek!

Actually, the best line in the article is:

most historians think modern tiddlywinks was developed in 1955 by a group of Cambridge undergraduates. It is not known whether alcohol was involved.

Not known? It HAD to be involved! Come on. I can so totally see a bunch of drunken frat boys sitting around, all the house whores have already left and they are only a few drinks away from pledge on pledge action when one says, "I've got an idea! Let's play tiddlywinks!" The other brothers went along only because they thought he said "tittiewinks".

The rest is history.

Yes, Vagina, there is a professional tiddlywinks association

"Just the right mix of skill and intellect"?

Ah, but what is really worse? Playing tiddlywinks for money, or paying money to watch people playing tiddlywinks?

What's next? Fantasy Tiddlywinks Leagues?

Celebrity Tiddlywinks!

Happy New Year, everyone. (It's been a while).

A high-school teacher of mine was (briefly) national tiddlywinks champion.

Good to see you again, Knemon.

The gay threads have not been the same (read: really gay) without you.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
