Now tagless for your comfort.

I live right off a state road 66!

I should be picking up the house and getting Liv ready to go out rather than enjoying a bit of political schadenfreude. But I can never resist. I lived in this guy's district when he was elected and I've disliked him ever since.

hip deep in pie

I've been on part of Rte 66. I have a pic of a sign for Hwy 666, which I think has been renumbered.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes it has. Sad, really, that they renumbered it before I had a chance to appropriate a 666 sign.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I can see this is going to be a thread-long earworm.

Saudi Woman Punches Religious Policeman Who Stops Her for Questioning

(NewsCore) - This was one Saudi woman who packed a wallop.

A 20-something Saudi female stopped and questioned by a religious policeman as she strolled through an amusement park with a young man apparently had enough and punched the officer repeatedly until he had to be taken to a hospital, the Jerusalem Post reported Monday.

In a story the paper said was “all over the Saudi media,” the Post said the policeman spotted the couple as they strolled through the amusement park in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Al-Mubarraz and asked them to confirm their identities and relationship to each other. It is a crime for unmarried men and women to mix in Saudi Arabia.

The man collapsed for unknown reasons when questioned by the cop, the Post reported.

But the woman allegedly began pummeling the officer, hitting him repeatedly until he had to be taken to the hospital with injuries to his face and body, the paper said, quoting the Saudi daily Okaz.

To see resistance from a woman means a lot,” Wajiha Al-Huwaidar, a Saudi women’s rights activist, told The Media Line news agency, the paper said. “People are fed up with these religious police, and now they have to pay the price for the humiliation they put people through for years and years. This is just the beginning and there will be more resistance.”

The names of the couple and date of the incident were not made public. If the woman is charged, the Post said, she could face a lengthy prison term and lashings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can see this is going to be a thread-long earworm.

Five months of quality earworm.

Sadly I'm going to be also intermittently thinking of the worst Supernatural episode ever, but I will try and make that only now and again.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

New thread! My robot avatar did not get here fast enough for top 10. Bad robot.

This was one Saudi woman who packed a wallop

Part of me is thrilled she did that. The other part dreads what they are going to do to her.

What have you got against racist ghost trucks, ita?

Why do you have to be such a hater?
