Hello kiddies…
It has been a while. I have no real explanation. Let’s put it down to ennui (a rationalisation laden with enough cheese-eating surrender-monkey bullshit that we can just pass on and get on with the motley).
When I last spoke to you, we had a Democrat-controlled Senate, we weren’t at war with anyone, the economy was on its way up, and the newspapers hadn’t carried reports of the murder and/or torture of black or brown people by white authority figures for at least a week.
So that’s all gone to shit, and I suspect I’ve built up enough anger to be entertaining again.
What’s your excuse?
Actually, fuck that. I don’t give a shit, because you lot have apparently managed to entirely fuck up the country in my absence.
Fuck you all, you namby-pamby lefty fuckers.
(Just to show I do still love you, a cheesecake photo of my doggy.)
David Fud
And they say torture doesn’t work. Look at what happens to BJ when it is reported.
Baud
The economy is still going up, FWIW.
If I knew it would bring you back, I would have voted for the GOP. I guess I’m voting for Cruz in 2016 after all.

SP&T! Wonderful to see you again!

It’s a dogs world.
Welcome home Sarah.

@Baud:
Give it a week or so….

@Sarah, Proud and Tall:
What did you do?

@Betty Cracker: +1. Welcome back, Ms. Sarah! Don’t be a stranger.
I hope you rubbed his belly. :-)
Cheers,
Scott.
Betty Cracker
@I’mNotSureWhoIWantToBeYet: I’m sure she rubbed his belly. Who could resist that freckly, floofy belly?
Zandar
Well if I can find my way back, so can Sarah.
Good to see you again. :)
Also PUPPEH.

Welcome back! The coke is in the bowl in the bathroom cupboard, and the liquor cabinet is unlocked.

I still don’t know who the fuck you are?

Babydoggiebellyrubz! Wheeeeee!
Welcome back, Sarah.
Violet
Doggie belly! Who could resist! Welcome back SP&T. If only you’d been here, maybe you could have kept leftier voters in line and hustled them out to the polls. See what happens when you don’t do your job!
Manyakitty
Well, well. Way to distill things to their essence.
Also, lookit da puppeh! Lookit Da PUPPEH!

@Betty Cracker: Freckled bellies rule!
Rub the Tristan belly!
Elizabelle
Wassail, Sarah. Glad to see you back.
Cute pup. I always took you for the Airedale or Italian greyhound type. But this one looks strong enough to tug you home by your Burberry, should you become incapacitated. (By snuff. Or what have you.)
Good doggy.
Elizabelle
Now where’s Dengre? Perhaps staying away, because no photogenic pet?
I care not if Dengre has only a stuffed squirrel to his name. Would be great to see him back.
In this season of cheer. And reunion.
Elizabelle
@WereBear:
Tristan wears that rug well.
ruemara
Welcome back. I have a partial flood in my apartment because the window seals failed. And the attempt to repair my windshield wiper arm so it wouldn’t skim most of the windshield has resulted in it missing all of the windshield. So I can’t drive, as I need to learn into the passenger side to see clearly. Tell me the truth, there are cameras recording all of this, right? Because I don’t want to get out of bed if yesterday’s track record continues. Of course, I should, because I need to wring out the towels that are keeping the ongoing leaks under control.
raven
@ruemara: Repair how?

It’s good to see that you’re still kicking around, and just as outrageous as ever!!
I enjoy your good humor even when all about us are loosing their cool and becoming very unhappy.
Keep on being outrageous and funny in the face of impending catastrophe, and stay in touch.
Happy Holidays, too, also. !!

The perfect picture of contentment. Love that his little paws are all curled up.

@Enhanced Voting Techniques: A lot of that going around.

IT’S A FESTIVUS MIRACLE!!! Hello darling. I have missed you terribly around these parts. Is your niece getting you a new set of Portuguese rentboys for Christmas?
SatanicPanic
yay yay
MomSense
@Yatsuno:
You can get sets of Portuguese rentboys for Christmas?? I need a do over on my Christmas list.
CONGRATULATIONS!
@Soonergrunt: Um, yeah. About that. Erm, huh, how to say this. Something happened. At any rate, now is not the time to assign blame, and don’t shoot the messenger, OK? But it’s gone.
All gone.

SPAT:
About goddamn time. Good to see you again, Sarah.

@raven: slap a tarp on the side of the wall for the duration of the season, I think. Oh, the arm. A marine friend with MacGyver skills is going to take off the arm and try to bend it to a correct arc.
Emma
@ruemara: A (very geeky, like me) friend and I have taken to joking that if we find a working TARDIS we’re building a paradox machine and wipe out 2014. It’s been one-freaking-thing-after-another, and it’s the relatively little things that happen after the big disasters that send you off the rails.
(edit)And nice to see you again, Sarah.

PUPPEH!
Hey there, SPT! Missed you!

@Enhanced Voting Techniques:
“duelist” Heh. Excellent pun.

What else can we say — mistakes were made.
Now please post some more of the music you’ve been grooving to Sarah.

@Baud: And to whom did you do it?
shortstop
Oh, Sarah, how lovely to see you again. And on a week when I really needed it!
@ruemara: I scanned this without having read the previous explanation and assumed for a sec that you were talking about your arm. Glad you weren’t, but sorry for the crappy experience.

One good thing to perk up an otherwise ***** morning. Welcome SP & T.

@ruemara: I’m so sorry you’re going through all this trouble. May it get better soon!
I feel we have parallel lives, I woke up to no heat and my checking account overdrawn, even though I have invoices for work in the process of getting paid (or I hope they sent the check they said they did anyway). The good news? It’ll be in the high 40s by Sunday and I have electricity, and space heaters. So it could be worse. Inconvenient, not catastrophe.
Edited to add: Happy to see you back Sara!

I was all like, “what’s got that nasty burr under Levenson’s saddle? Must be the kitchen project went into red status.” You had me going there for awhile, because of the prominent painting at the top of the post. Oopsie.

@Emma: If I get a TARDIS, I will be doing two things: Showing Obama how feckless Democrats will be the minute he wins; Inventing Facebook.

High S,P&T,
any more raunchy episodes of your vita about to flow into your pen?
Missed that somewhat.

Crap — now we have to put up with a sense of humor around here again?

You’re back, and just in time for this year’s war on Christmas! Hope you’re ready to load up for the mission to sneak trees, mistletoe, and other pagan iconism into the unsuspecting Christian’s homes again, as we once more attempt to befuddle them over the date of their Messiah’s birth. It ain’t easy to keep them shifting it all the way over to the midwinter festival year after year.

That is quite obviously a BOY goggie, therefore it would be a BEEFCAKE photo, would it not? Unless he’s actually part hyena, in which case I could be mistaken about the gender…

Full frontal PEDRO! (and yet he discreetly hides his face, the minx)…
Welcome back, Sarah. Your re-emergence doesn’t repair my mood, but it does mitigate it.
