I orderd 2. One for me and once for the ex wife. Good times. We both have our pets on there so I thought she would appreciate having Trixie (yes I know, it is a strippers name) in the calendar.

I got mines, the pups are mislabeled but that’s probably my fault

I ordered mine the day after they first came out. Shipped a while ago, FedEx says they’re in Indy, IN and due 1/8/19…wtf ??
They could walk it here by then!!
I know they will be really cute, so willing to wait. Also ordered Albratrossity’s bird calendar for a neighbor ornithologist, she will love it. Fed Ex delivered it to a different neighbor’s house, left it on a patio table in the rain. J noticed it before the interior was sodden, so it survived.
Obviously I’m bitchin about FedEx, not the calendars!! Non union, should be using UPS or the USPS, not sub contractor scabs.

@Raven: Well, share that detail carefully as it can become part of the secret handshake / passcode for true believers: Green Balloons? Next to the mustard. Raven’s Fido? On the Left!

Lindsay Graham was on CNN and was asked about Trump pulling troops out of Syria. He dismissed the question as a bunch of bullshit and had this exchange with Dana Bash:
“Everything we’re dealing with today falls on Obama’s watch. He’s the one who withdrew from Iraq,” Graham said.
Bash countered, “But he did it because there was a Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq, right?”
“Listen. No, that’s a bunch of bulls***. Pardon my French. That’s a complete lie. That’s a complete, absolute lie.”
Bash’s eyes widened in surprise: “That didn’t happen?”
I guess he’s learning from Trump – just outright lie. Is Graham part of the Russian thing? He’s a 100% toady for Trump, and it can’t be because of his personal life. I don’t see that anybody would care, but he’s about as closeted as Charles Nelson Reilly or Paul Lynde were back in the 70’s.
I’m thinking he never had any real integrity, just had to keep up appearances when he was McCain’s best buddy.

@SenyorDave: I’m thinking someone has pictures of him that he doesn’t want to be released

Bought a calendar for a girl I dated in high school. Turns out she hates Trump and is a huge BJ fan.

This had me laughing way too hard. Be best!

@guachi:
LOL, phrasing.
But seriously, you ran into her somewhere and found out that she’s a Jackal? How does that come up? I would love to run into an unexpected Jackal!

@SenyorDave:
Is Lindsay Graham a leader in his Senate caucus? Is he a potential presidential nominee?
Amir Khalid
@geg6:
I suspect there are cool prominent people who are secret Jackals.

@JPL: I’m very much afraid there’s a dead boy somewhere in there….

@Amir Khalid: No, Miss Lindsay’s a Sunday-Program-Staple for the old media. Which seems to be primarily used to scare the bejesus out of old white folks, regardless of network.
Various olds (and I’m in my late 50s, so older-n-me) keep asking me if I’ve seen something on television, and I’m like, “Was it Doctor Who, on Comet or Science, or old BBC mysteries on WGBX*? Then nope!”

I have long since given up on regular tv, for me political/news stuff is twitter and netflix/amazon prime for movies/shows. I simply cannot take regular television anymore. Life is so good right now. Too bad, I’m getting spied on by Alexa.

@geg6: I actually made contact with a fellow unknown jackal on a thread about the Boy Scouts a couple of years ago, hadn’t seen since about 1967. Quite cool.
guachi
@geg6: Facebook, mostly. A lot of my high school friends turned out to be more hard core anti-Trumpers/liberals than I had imagined. Electing Trump kind of had that effect.
I only found out she liked BALLOON JUICE (She may like the other BJ. I haven’t asked.) recently when I recommended it to her. She loves Betty Cracker and is intimidated by the healthcare posts of David Anderson and the intelligence posts of Adam Silverman.

@Amir Khalid: MSM types have been around also.
??? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ??
@SenyorDave:
That Status of Forces Agreement is absolutely verifiable by literally anyone. I’m not sure how desperate Graham is to keep whatever somebody has on him from coming out, but blatantly lying about this is like saying there’s no such thing as gravity. He should just resign.

@Amir Khalid:
Wasn’t there a CNN anchor here once?

@Raven: I get your pups mixed up too. I am sure I have said this before. My favorite BJ picture is when you and Lil Bit went to the bakery and Bhodi just wondered in. You took the best pic ever. Lil Bit being awesome and Bhodi sitting there next to his brother thinking “Oh Hi Dad. Take my pic. Look how good I am. I promise I will be he best dog ever!!!”

@??? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ??: yup

He’s faking it. The swearing gives him away.

Just like his ridiculous Bette Davis performance at the Kavanaugh hearings. So fake.

@HeleninEire: That should be in every Juice pet calendar ever. Bodhi was the most adorable toddler. And a fine mature gentleman as well. Lil Bit can’t help being adorable at any age, of course.

@Baud:
I once had a bunch of people on reddit convinced I was Adam Savage from Mythbuster by simply denying I was him when asked. Though, to be honest I denied it in a humorous way. It went on for a couple of days and they were so convinced my repeated denials just made them more sure
NotMax
@Schlemazel
If it’s denied on the internet it must be true.

My calendar is on it’s way, supposedly. Set to arrive on the 14th. I believe that I must scare delivery companies. My last Amazon order I canceled last night as it also seems to be lost, as was the first attempt. No one knows nothing.

@Ruckus
Perhaps that “Beware. This premises protected by vampire jackalopes.” sign wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Mine hasn’t come yet.

Thx for the reminder.

@NotMax:
Now you tell me.
I should have known I guess, getting it from a guy out of the trunk of his car in an alley in the bad part of town. And for only $12.
PaulWartenberg
Already got it.
Ocean the Wiggle Cat wants to thank you for making her a calendar girl for January.

I got my calendar on Saturday. It’s great! Love all the puppies & kittehs.
