Yep. And at least one set of salad tongs must be topped by a sleeveless sheath.

And must be form-fitting.

ROFL!

One of the Great One-Liners of the Day, marble falls!

“You had me at Apple Fritter”.

Indeed. Staring into the abyss.

That does describe it well.

Welcome to real Cannabis calm!

Sigh... I always had this little feeling that he was too good to be true.

He did make for some uncomfortable publicity for trump, and was mighty good at that kind of perception manipulation. He made a lot of noise. But he did also say "those who have nothing to hide - hide nothing."

Doesn't Julian Assange still have friends?

And if so, anybody think they'd be pissed off by this?

Hmmm... how do you suppose some of them might be wanting to react?

CUE THE VIDEO!!!

Um... did I just hear right? Did trump just say "I know nothing about Wikileaks"?

Wouldn't be me.

And it does have a way of coming around, doesn't it.

There's one show on there I call "the salad tongs show."

I don’t and WON’T watch Pox Noise - just on principle - but I’ve seen glimpses of that show at times while randomly changing channels.

I don’t know what the real name of the show is, or exactly when it’s on. Nor do I care. But just one glimpse is enough to be revolting to me. You have a set with sofas and the glass coffee table in front of it. There are five “co-hosts”, a man and four women. He sits in the middle. And around him are splayed these glossy women, wearing very tight-fitting, very short sheath dresses or skirts, and they sit, bare legs crossed at the knees, with fancy spike-heeled what we used to call “fuck me” shoes on the ends of all those legs. And the legs aren’t crossed demurely, like the royals sit, legs crossed at the ankles and over to the side. These have the feet wide apart, so from the knees down all you see are these extended salad tongs. Four pairs of ‘em.

And it took only ONE time seeing that to switch on a “and what the hell are they messaging with THAT image?????!?!!?” indignant reaction in me. Literally ALL YOU SAW were those four pairs of legs displayed in wide “v” configurations from locked-together knees down to the fancy-ass shoes at the end of each leg. And they’re always tanned and slink-looking and the skin is always glossy and oiled. And it goes through my mind: “Okay, who are you trying to appeal to? I get it. Horny old men. Right? And just exactly what is being inferred here? The subliminal messaging you’re dishing up with those four fancy pairs of glossy oiled salad tongs... yep. I get it. I know what you’re trying to do here.”

And I’ve gotta say, it leaves me feeling so disgusted and turned off - and PISSED off - that I immediately want to grab a protest sign and find a march somewhere.
