JP desperate for attention this morning.

Booga-Booga-Booga!

Well, the Whiffies continue to be unable to make headway here of any sort. Their sudden fondness for heretofore forsaken foliage is noteworthy, but dispositive of exactly nothing beyond the shabby flimsiness of what they have posted in the past. Meanwhile, out here in the always spectacular Sweet Spot where dendrophiles have a far superior setting in which to prosper. We have a bright and sunny morning with temps already into the low 40s and apt to hit the mid 50s later on. Cool. Light winds from the south, low humidity, and little if any chance of incoming moisture. Looks like we'll make it from here to the Xtian Sabbath with no worse conditions than that, but the deity may impose some measure of His fabled smiting for a brief spell following that. The rat bastard can't be trusted.

Real President Joe of course has rat bastards scurrying about as well, with GOP excusifying mouthpiece types continuing to struggle with the sorts of treasonous Trump-trash issueing from the mealy mouths of the usual suspects. Legitimate political discourse??? No. Just no. Nor even in some far away GOP shithole country.

In other news, some are hoping to see actual progress in negotiations following this week's MLB owners' meetings sidewhow in Orlando. There is actually little if any reason to believe that owners will take any responsible action at all anytime soon. They will of course need to announce the wipeout of some portion of Spring Training by the end of this week, and that will not be the last 'body count' sort of proclamation that they will have forced themselves into, the fools.

Also foolish of course is nearly everyone srill stuck living in the listless lair of louts and losers known as Falls Church City. We see here all too regulalry the exrents of native stupidity that reside in these slugs and slackers, lackers all in critical masses of both math and verbal acuity. Such a sorry state of affairs!

Did anyone read that shit?

Well, JP got his old ass beat badly again yesterday over the stupid shit that he said. Made worse by his inability to concede his mistake and digging his hole deeper. As he always does. Expect the same to happen again today. And the next day...

Weather is the same everyfuckingwhere in the area.

Trump moved out but still lives rent free in his head.

Nobody gives a fuck about baseball. Even less so off-season.

His bizarre use of this thread as some kind of daily blog and irrational terminal butthurt over Falls Church is fucking weird. But old folks can be like that. Rage on Gramps.

You must be in a great deal of pain. All unbiased, unvarnished, and undisputed evidence show you lied multiple times. The reason for that is known only to you.

What about it? You had the opportunity to have your question answered, but it appears the price was too high for you. LOL!
