Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

… gradually, and then suddenly.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Everybody saw this coming.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Let’s finish the job.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

“But what about the lurkers?”

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

Let me file that under fuck it.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

So many bastards, so little time.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Pet Calendar

Houston, We Have a Problem, Calendar Edition

by | 81 Comments

This post is in: ,

So… we have a problem, and we need you guys to tell us how much of a problem it is.

The final step for the pet calendar is for beth to pop the pages you have been previewing into the Cafe Press creation page – which beth tried to do this morning.

Cafe Press has temporarily removed the calendar creation option because they fucking ran out of the stock they print the calendars on.  Temporary supply chain problem, they say.  I’m gong to call in the morning to see if I get the same answer beth did, and I will obviously let everyone know anything I learn.

So we were minutes away from being able to order calendars, and now we’re stalled.  Sigh.

Best case, it’s just a few days, and calendars could still arrive in time for Christmas.  But it’s already Dec 7, so we are nearly a week later than we wanted, so that’s not great.

Worst case – the delay is longer.  Will you guys still want calendars even they can’t arrive by Christmas?

So we need your input on the way forward.

Thoughts?

FINAL CHECK: Find Your Guys in 2023 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendar B!

Please check Calendar B for your pets – all months are in Calendar B now.

Originally posted on Saturday 12/3 at 10:04 pm.  Reposting on Tuesday, 12/6.  New comments start at #20.

This is the preview of the design for 2023 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendar B.

Please check the links in the sidebar to see which calendar and which month(s) your pets are in, or just browse through the calendar.

Please check for your pets and make sure that all your pets are there, that the names are right, that we have the right name with the right pet, and that there’s a heart if there should be one, and no heart if there shouldn’t be one.

Clicking on an image opens the image so you can see it more easily.  Use the back arrow to get back to the full post.

YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY, BECAUSE ONCE YOU HAVE PLACED THE ORDER, WE CAN’T FIX ANY ISSUES YOU FIND LATER.  Well, we can fix them even then, but then you’d have to buy another calendar in order to get the fixed version.

These are really low-resolution for posting on the blog, but the calendar itself is very high resolution.

Pet Calendar: One More Time for the Just Weekday BJ Peeps

by | 7 Comments

This post is in: ,

We’re still shooting for 2023 Balloon Juice Pet Calendars to be available for order on December 1.

We need your help TODAY in order to make our deadline!

Open Thread, 60 Minutes, I Will Vote Concert

There are issues with a few of the photos.  If you don’t regularly the email I have for you, please check your email.

🐇

There are TWO BJ Pet Calendars again this year.  We are calling them Calendar A and Calendar B, just as we have been doing.

If you submitted photos of more than one pet, all of your pets will be placed in either Calendar A or Calendar B.

Please check the Pet Calendar links in the sidebar.

*The calendar files in the sidebar have been updated with all changes requested on Saturday, but not those reported on Sunday.

This is your chance to make sure we get it right.

If your pet is no longer with us, you can have a heart next to their name, if you like.

Please check for:

  • Are all of your pets listed with your nym?
  • Is the spelling of your pet’s name correct?
  • Is the word “heart” there if you should have a heart for your pet?  And empty if it should be empty?
  • Are ALL of your pets listed with the same calendar?  (look for either A or B)
  • Even if you find your nym in Calendar A, please check Calendar B to verify that one of your pets didn’t accidentally land in the other calendar.  (and vice versa).

If anything is incorrect for your pets, or if you have questions, please comment in this thread to let me know about it.

You have ONE MORE DAY to get your pics in if you haven’t done so already.  This is only possible because I am behind on the calendar so getting your photos in TODAY won’t delay anything,  Silver lining to my being late, I guess.  I shouldn’t have been lollygagging these past few weeks.  :-)

There are issues with some of the photos.  If you are on the list below, we need: either a higher resolution photo (because your file was tiny) or we need a different photo for one reason or another.

These people have sent some of the pets I expected, but not all.

Sherparik – we don’t have either Farley or Murphy

Watership – I believe your 5 are coming today.

Van Buren – I seem to have Rosie but not Fiona.

If you planned to send pics but haven’t sent them yet, please send them TODAY.
