Billie Jean King beats Bobby Riggs in 1973
    Billie Jean King
I remember the Billie Jean King vs Bobby Riggs tennis match mess on this day in 1973. I recall it because I was at Herb's Grill on Broadriver Road at St Andrews participating in a watering hole clique get together with a person who thought I was his personal slave.

The television had a great picture and I slammed down a couple of beers even though I didn't particularly care for the taste because I was 18 and of age among a bunch of yapping men trying to be heard above one another.

So in my boredom I watched television and interjected occasionally and really could have done without the entire episode.

So much for the Battle of the Sexes tennis match at the Houston Astrodome.

I left late that evening feeling used, abused, poor, and that Bobby Riggs was a mouthy idiotic fool ... much like the bung hole I met at the place because it was politically expedient.

Anyway, things deteriorated further over time and I ended up disappointing my father by withdrawing from x-ray school and he didn't get past it for years.

He didn't know about the forced house cleaning and never ending side duties associated with this over bearing god complex having bastard.

I suppose returning to the state technical college system and teaching there for 20 years somewhat redeemed me but in retrospect I certainly would have been better off not setting a precedent for quitting.

I quit a few more jobs in a similar fashion after that and now I have reached the point where I can't just up and quit anymore, regardless of how hostile the environment.

The effort required not to bite the hand that feeds me is sometimes overwhelming but I'm simply too old to go there.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day
Pirate Lady        
Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It is a parody holiday which arose from the efforts of one John Baur and one Mark Summers from Albany, Oregon who decided September 19 each year should be the day when everyone in the world talks like a pirate.

So instead of those standard greetings the old time nautical stuff is more appropos to the moment.

My FTP server is about the only thing remotely compliant ... it communicates in the manner of a pirate seeing how I once envisioned myself as the imaginary CEO of Ahoy Matey Software way back when.

Select pirate terminology for your consideration:

  • Ahoy
  • Arrrgh!
  • Aye
  • Avast!
  • Be
  • Bilge
  • Black Spotted
  • Booty
  • Hornswaggle
  • Landlubber
  • Marooned
  • Mate
  • Me
  • Port
  • Rigging
  • Shiver me timbers
  • Starboard
  • Ye
  • Yer

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen ...
For just $29.99 you too can have your very own space force 2 dollar bill being marketed by the executive administration.

It is stated to be legal tender and commemorative of the United States space force — which has only been around since Roswell even though the official establish date is December 20, 2019 and was part of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act.

space force 2 dollar bill

The deuce face value means that it is worth 6.66 percent of the retail price. Perhaps another Unacknowledged Special Access Project is indicated to fund this up front devaluation. Regardless, I personally believe that freshly printed US currency worth two dollars should go for two dollars ... plus postage and handling of course.

Boo !

Remembering Red Skelton
    Red Skelton
Richard Red Skelton
July 18, 1913 – September 17, 1997

When I was a kid Red Skelton was a standard of comedy. I was known to watch his television show weekly and enjoyed the many characters he portrayed. Sometimes there were interspersed poignant moments of serious reminscing which punctuated the comedy and pantomime slapstick schtick which was the hallmark of the program.

I recall in particular his tribute to his young son Richard who passed from leukemia ten days prior to his tenth birthday. This was at the height of Red Skelton's popularity. It was entitled "Little Boy" and was performed during one of his television shows while he was in costume as a hobo clown character from the previous skit.

Though I recall this performance from my childhood, I never knew the details behind that performance until recently.

He was a performer of radio and television pioneer who did vaudeville, burlesque, night clubs, casinos, and even feature films and short subjects. He authored books and was a big box office draw during the years from 1944 through 1952. He was also an accomplished artist and many of his clown paintings are valued by collectors all over.

He considered making people laugh to be his life's work. His career in comedy spanned 70 years and generations of American audiences. His final year of regularly scheduled television ran through 1971 after which there were public appearances and painting

Red Skelton died on September 17, 1997 at the age of 84 in Rancho Mirage, California from an undisclosed illness.

Torture and Suffering in the name of God
When I was a child I was pretty cruel. I no longer engage in such cruelty — which assumed various forms and those manifestations were not subject to regret until much later in my existence.

I have since encountered people, particularly but not exclusively females, who are by comparison much more cruel than I ever envisioned behavior in this time. They will lie, cheat, steal, and fornicate to get ahead and that is simply the way some of my cohorts at work have been.

Tomas de Torquemada
Tomas de Torquemada
The Grand Inquisitor
October 14, 1420 - September 16, 1498
    
There was a period of religious persecution enacted by the Catholic church called The Inquisition. During this time persons of faiths other than catholicism were subjected to outrageous torture on a scale which is difficult to fathom in modern times. There were torturers and the implementation and invention of new devices of torture and it all came under the purview of a single human being.

He was an officer of the church called the "Grand Inquisitor" and in the name of God he would inflict aggregious bodily harm on so-called blasphemers who were primarily Jewish and Muslim individuals captured for conversion to the "one true church" according to them.

Tomas de Torquemada, aka Thomas of Torquemada, was a Dominican friar of Castilian origin and first Grand Inquisitor in Spain's movement to bring all persons into the Catholic Church or send them to God if they refused.

This transpired in the late 15th century and became known as the Spanish Inquisition resulting in expulsion thousands of people of Jewish and Muslim faith and heritage from Spain in that misguided attempt to bring everyone into a single compliant catholic fold.

Life was such that it was simply expedient in all aspects to convert to catholicism or die. The fear invoked at the thought of being the subject of the Grand Inquisition was enough for many to convert. Other more staunch adherents were tortured for their piety and many murdered by Saint Peter's Holy See congregation.

In retrospect, it is no wonder that my personal opinion of the catholic church with the passing of John Paul II has suffered over the years. The present regime with two incompetents playing pope simply aggrevates my disdain for what I view is pure evil in religion even more.

google.com registered in 1997
On this day in 1997 google.com was registered as a domain name. Google began as a well designed organic search engine with sophisticated command line parameters but devolved into an incapable advertising mechanism which can't do much in the way of information retrieval unless the topic being search is a paid ad nor can it perform accurate geolocation to save it's miserable leftist libtard ass.

Google evolved into a failure and that stupidity of the people who continue to believe in it is evidence for that lack of critical thinking rampant in the moronic "feelings over facts" offspring of United States today.

This proprietary name is often used as a verb by uninitiated stupid people who represent themselves as computer professionals but aren't. You can tell these people by their frequent instructions to others saying "google it" and the blank unknowning expressions on their faces.

They are frequently fat females who speak ebonics or other forms of bad english instead of intelligently discussing technical matters, mispronounce jargon and technology with innumerable technical errors in their failed attempts to relate facts — and are typically of poor character in general and likely have children out of wedlock.

google fingers

Boo Google.
Boo pseudointellectual liars masquerading as computer professionals.

The Passing of Diana Rigg
    Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg DBE
Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg DBE
July 20, 1938 – September 10, 2020
I marked the passing of Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg last Thursday with a somber interlude as I recalled elements of my childhood and those moments I watched The Avengers with her as Mrs Emma Peel and Patrick Macnee as John Steed. Oh the intrigue. The battles. The drama of it all.

She was one of the first television personalities I viewed as "hot" and I would watch episodes even though my understanding of the plot and characters was limited in my young age.

It was all interesting to me to see this beautiful woman engage others at various levels and the intermittent action was an added plus.

She had other character roles over the years. My most recent following of her career was her portrayal of Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones and the shocking ending of her death by poison and admitting to killing the evil Joffrey Baratheon just before the toxin provided to her by Jaime Lannister took her life.

I must admit not knowing who she was until late "in the game" as it were.

Ah, hers was a life of stage and screen and in the end she was able to reflect happily and laugh as her life drew to a close. Our lady, Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire succumbed to to cancer which had been diagnosed in March at her London home.

I will always view her and her art with a fondness borne of my youth and that childhood attraction of a young boy for a beautiful woman above his awareness and beyond his reach on the television screen. It's the stuff of magic.

Rest in peace.

Resuming Study of Magick Evocations
Skull and Cross Bones    

At the risk of who knows what I have resumed the pursuit of magick as it applies to spells, the death and destruction of other humans, and generally raising havoc at the expense of my enemies.

Back in 2011 I had a scary interlude in this regard which caused me to put it down a long while.

Now ... I have resumed. It is interesting to note that my past endeavors involved the passing of three people all of whom succumbed to cancer. I am told that the likelihood that three different people subjected to such influence with the same results is unlikely to be a happenstance event.

The consequences of these black arts are not fully known to me.

It may well be that I will cross some unseen line and lay waste to various things without intent.

However, my list remains and I'm fully immersed in the incantations associated with destruction and death.

Here's to hoping my enemies die before I do.

I'm willing to take those risks associated with additional successful evocations such as that I have known in the past.

There comes a time when a day of reckoning is the only thing that matters. I am there and dragging four others who are presently unaware with me. I can only see what happens. You will remain in the loop.

National Day of Encouragement 2020
F U
Today is the National Day of Encouragement. It has been held each September 12 since 2007 in the United States and is meant to remind people that encouragement matters.

The beginnings are said to be a group of high school students attending a leadership conference who were tasked with a solution to the biggest problem that face young people in their time.

It was first proclaimed by Mayor Belinda LaForce of Searcy, Arkansas on August 22, 2007 making September 12, 2007 the "State Day of Encouragement" for Arkansas.

Later, President George W Bush also proclaimed September 12 the official "National Day of Encouragement".

The Encouragement Foundation is making plans to get more states involved in the National Day of Encouragement in the future.

Hell. Nobody ever encouraged me aside from my mother and this appears to be more of that "participation trophy" drivel which has caused the people to think that their feelings matter above any facts in their lives.

A bunch of leftist libtard nothing.

Remember September 11, 2001
Remember September 11, 2001

The September 11 attacks consisted of a series of four coordinated attacks allegedly by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

I recall that day; where I was and what I was doing in great detail. At the time I felt the interruption of my class to be very inconvenient given the difficult topic ... but when the towers fell I rather fell silent in quiet contemplation of the consequences and the anger of my cohorts and clients.

There is a large body of evidence for governmental false flag complicity in the matter and the Bush administration rife with attempts to make a submediocre chief executive with lackluster credentials otherwise who should have never been elected appear heroic and presidental ... but it remains a controversial stagey appearing topic to say the least.

My personal attempts at investigative inquiry were resisted vehemently by those from whom I sought information.

There is obviously something to hide by these people.

Still, too many questions remain unanswered in light of 2,977 fatalities and 25,000 injuries otherwise along with the victims contending with long term disability secondary to exposure to the massive amount of toxic particulates released all around in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers.

John Wayne Gacy teevee Special haunts me
Yes Newt there are monsters among us ...

I recall Aliens. The movie starring Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, Michael Biehn as Corporal Dwayne Hicks, Lance Henriksen as Bishop the android, Carrie Henn as Rebecca "Newt" Jorden, and the late great Bill Paxton as Private Hudson among others in what has proven to be one of the most exceptional ensemble performances I've ever seen.

I rather perturbed my mother when she discovered my ability to speak the lines in the movie along with the characters. This was some 100 or so views of the vhs I taped then watched over and over. Anyway, in one of the scenes Ripley and Newt have a moment where the child states how grownups tell children that monsters aren't real but that they really are to which Ripley can only ruefully agree with sympathy for what has been a horrendous childhood of a little girl all alone on the planet LV426.

Well, the xenomorph in Aliens is most certainly fiction but the harsh reality is we do live among monsters. Our fellow human beings who will hurt us and kill us for various carnal, psychological, and existential ends known only to them.

Gacy and Xenomorph mouseover    
Such a monster was John Wayne Gacy. He was a sex offender and serial killer who performed for children as what I personally felt to be a bizzare, sinister appearing clown character named "Pogo" and sometimes "Patches". He was active in the democratic party (of course) and maintained a business as a building contractor.

This deviant pervert was convicted of sodomizing a young boy in Iowa in 1968 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison but was released after servicing but 18 months. His first murder happened in 1972. I was in the eleventh grade.

Two more murder victims are known as of 1975. There are 30 subsequent victims who were killed after his divorce from his second wife in 1976.

The investigation into the disappearance of a Des Plaines teenager named Robert Piest led to Gacy's arrest on December 21, 1978.

He admitted to murders committed inside his ranch house near Norridge, subdivision of Norwood Park in the metro Chicago area.

Typically, he would lure a victim to his home and trick him into handcuffing himself under the pretext of demonstrating a magic trick, then rape and torture his captive before killing him by either asphyxiation or strangulation with a garrote.

Twenty-six victims were interred poorly in the crawl space under his home. There were many comments regarding the pervasive odor of decomp throughout the home. Three others were buried in other locations on his property. Four victims were discarded in the Des Plaines River.

His conviction for 33 murders was a record for one individual in United States at that time. Gacy was sentenced to death on March 13, 1980.

While on death row at Menard Correctional Center he spent much of his time painting. He amassed quite a collection of these works — many of which collected by locals when they were sold at auction. These were purchased and ceremoniously burned by persons who sought to eliminate him from their collective memory.

His home became such a source of embarrassment and horror by individuals living nearby that the property was razed to the ground after authorities were sure they had recovered all evidence to be had from the location.

His execution by lethal injection was carried out at Stateville Correctional Center on May 10, 1994. Thus this evil human being is no longer among us preying on the young, the inexperienced, socially inept, and the weak.

Michael Cohen is a lousy attorney
    DISLOYAL by Michael Cohen the Rat
Michael Cohen is an attorney who violated attorney client privilege between him and his long time client President Trump.

He makes a number of allegations like the rat that he is. All of them, particularly references to attempts to get Russia to interfere in the 2016 election, the Stormy Daniels debacle, and other alleged transgressions by the President are being taken with a grain of salt and an eye out for the sour grapes of termination and coersion by the democratic party during their sham impeachment investigations of which nothing was proven.

Then he makes a number of allegations he likewise cannot prove. For a person in a field which is supposedly based on the truth this man makes a poor case for attorneys everywhere. This cheese eating democrat surrender rat is rather like an ambulance chaser only he's attempting to cause the injury then profit from it.

In the United States a President is innocent until PROVEN guilty. This unscrupulous and immoral turd counsellor at law could do nothing except cast aspersions and now seeks to profit from the same. He is as untrustworthy as lawyers get and I'm not saying any of them are worthy of our trust at all. This one in particular has proven himself to be every bit the slimy bottom feeder that pointy fingered girlyman Chuck Shumer, the fugly and stupid Nancy Pelosi, dimwit Jerry Nadler, the eternal liar perjurious Adam Schiff as well as their host of democratic party accomplices demonstrate before the television cameras ad nauseum.

I simply decline to believe all the voters are as stupid as the democrats and this slug would have us believe.

Considering the source, this fodder would not be interesting reading for me as a technophile who doesn't pursue works of fiction as a rule.

BOO slimeball Michael Cohen.

Retail fails in the United States
dumb    

The pitiful state of retail in the United States has me thinking every internet retail establishment should just be allowed to go belly up and crumble into the dusts of time like those brick and mortar counterparts are doing. I have never encounterd a more inept situation of the incompetent handling ecommerce so badly that they shouldn't be allowed to exist. I hate to harp on this but Ann Coulter's dealth squads are simply looking more attractive by the day. The symptomatology of a bunch of people who cannot cultivate much in the way of working thought is simply mind boggling for me personally.
 

    stupid

I attribute this to the generation raised by idiots who thought their children's feelings matter more than anything else and everybody got a participation trophy. This is where competitiveness and the pursuit of excellence died in the United States. The stupid parents are the fault here and they should suffer the consequences of their children's actions instead of the rest of us. Never having contributed to society and the pervasive leftist indoctrination of the school children is the fault of the republican party for letting it all happen. So now all they can engage are menial employment opportunities where critical thinking and a knowledge base are unnecessary.
 

Fruit of the Loom logo    

Case in point. I tried to buy about 30 pairs of fruit of the loom men's briefs in a waist size of 40. The stupid search engines return all kinds of results but when you go there nobody has anything and the so-called search engine simply routes you to people paying them without relevance to what you are looking for and that presence of those items.

Libtard moron thy name is millennial. Curse you and the stupid people from whose products of conception your dumb ass arose.

Duh. Can you say militia and civil war boys and girls ? I fear it's coming.
