Like a lot of people in the US of A, I am taking a long weekend. Posting may be a little light for a bit. So here’s an open thread for everyone else taking a long weekend. Or not. Use this thread for anything that’s not personal. Like misogyny, politics, kitties, you know the drill. (Though kitties are welcome in all threads, of course.)
I am hoping my long weekend turns out a bit better than that of the people in the Australian movie of that name from 1978, which I keep meaning to see. Apparently their little beach vacation doesn’t go so well, and they are attacked by … nature? At one point, I believe, they face off against an enraged dugong. (No, really.) The movie was recently remade, but apparently the remake wasn’t as good.
Stay tuned for more reviews of movies I haven’t seen and that I’m just giving vague impressions of based on things I’ve heard somewhere.
Strewth, Argenti, which asshat was that?
Marketplace of ideas? KKK? Holy fucking petunias, Batman, what has this to do with “Keep your goddamn hands and sleazy comments to yourself, women are NOT SEX VENDING MACHINES, how hard is that to understand?” Because complaining about “marketplace of ideas” and all that bullshit is saying that harassers have an argument, that they have a right to harass.
“ō.Ó? I would not have thought that looking like a wool producing animal would help in this shit.”
The Furrinati- they were even designed sneaky. 🙂
“Under those…credibility.”
The words- I know them separately- yet when put together it is incomprehensible.
Amnesia, I think you were! It said 999 when I came to the site, but 1001 after I typed my entry. You did it, you were 1000! ::party::

That’d be this piece of work — http://www.popehat.com/2013/07/01/why-does-talking-about-creepers-and-harassment-make-people-so-angry/#comment-1073432
@Kittehs
It depends on how much gets taken off.

@Argenti
Reading the whole thing…I can’t even..TOO MUCH WRONGNESS!
@Argenti – oh, him, yeah. Piece of work is right.
@neuroticbeagle – hopefully collie’s all right then, because she doesn’t look shaved, her skin doesn’t show through her short coat. First time I saw her I couldn’t figure out what breed she was; it looked like short hair.
Poop, when it’s not the blockquote monster it’s the italics monster!
Stranded colorwork (fair isle, nordic, etc.) isn’t really all that hard to do, it’s just hard to do well. It takes coordination, because you need to use one color per hand to maintain proper tension, and when you are starting out it goes very slowly. And it takes patience.
It’s not something I’ve done a lot of. I started making a pair of mitts once (palm and back) but I couldn’t get the tension right and I gave up. I did a couple of handbags as gifts (they were too loose but I’d intended to felt them anyway so it worked out great) but I can’t seem to find any pictures of those.
One of these days, I’m going to get back into it. I love the history of fair isle, and I have this and I like to set impossible goals for myself.
Lol, so taking some off the 4″~ hanging before him is probably okay (and fuck getting a groomer, if I can trim a hyper poodle puppy’s face evenly, I can trim an older dog who probably won’t even notice cuz he’s dumb like that)
That poodle *shakes head* had to give belly rubs with one hand and trim with the other to get the matted bits between his cute little legs, getting near his eyes was a two person job since he just had to watch what I was doing >.< (yeah, that little smarty pants totally 180'ed my wariness of tiny dogs, these days it'd totally prefer the plop in lap, trim size to weighing nearly as much as me [and being dumb enough to bark at bricks])

I…they’re cute, but don’t pet skunks have their skunk’ing glands removed?
In any case, just meow would you? is pretty funny!
I don’t know if they are pets or being rescued or someone really thinks they are cats- i just found the picture on the internet.
It’s a good thing Fribs isn’t black and white, or I’d think she’s a skunk who didn’t have her skunky glands removed.
OOOOOH that Fair Isle!
Ha, just had a “teach your grandmother to suck eggs” moment. Colleague heard or saw a doco on Louis XIV last night and was trying to tell me All the Things about someone I’ve known about since colleague was about ten. Not helped when he gets first bit of information wrong. 😛
Okay, so I could keep going, but cat anger consequences are beginning, so I am off to bed.
Night all!
Niters, gillyrosebee! Avoid the CACs at all costs!
Unless it will lead to SACs (skunk anger consquences)
Ewwww!
What… Pollock is a Pillock on everything? I’m shocked.
Well, ok, I’m not. I hope he was surprised to have someone come in and take him on with a fresh perspective.
I had a yarn adventure. Was reeling a spun bobbin (to make it more even for plying) and it broke. Happens. Only couldn’t find the end. Trying to find it by lifting it with a toothbrush didn’t help.
Had to enlist help to manually unwind it, detangle it, and hand reel it.
Tomorrow I’ll ply it. Lovely purple yarn, didn’t want to lose 3 oz of spinning because of that.
Good Night.

Is that the yarn that was sitting grinning HA YOU CAN’T WORK ME at you, pecunium?
Sleeping with Pets part deux, aka why Louis has banned the Furrinati from the bedroom.
LBT: Update on bivy sack – my partner knows people who’ve used them, obviously the face is mesh but also because they’re waterproof you tend to get damp from the fabric not breathing. Some people really like them though, and with a tarp it should be pretty good.
You can also get “bivy tents” like these http://aroundthehills.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/first-impressions-vaude-bivi-1p/ but I can’t make Google work for me and it may be out of your price range. :/
