Cold Days are good days!

 

The new Harry Dresden Novel is out and it is called "Cold Days.'

It is pretty good. After the last novel where Harry was killed and came back from the dead it was pretty hard to come up with something but he did. In this novel Harry becomes the "Winter Knight" of the Fairie kingdom of Winter and has a bunch of adventures. Including a fight to the death with Santa Clause.

So it is highly recommended.

I think battling Santa Claws would be more dangerous.

The Santa Clause could be handled by a lawyer, and Sanity Clause is just a bad joke from a Marx Brothers film, just sayin'...

Fantasy Western?

“Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.” J.B.

That and stories told and written.

Chuck said...

YES!!!! YESYESYES!!! Must read this weekend!!!

Titus said...

Colder then witches tit.

tits.

I like tits.

tits.

blake said...

It was colder than a witch's tit
Colder than a polar bear's nose
Colder than the shoulder of my old flame
Colder than Hell, Heaven knows

Not quite as cold as you think it is
When the wind chill factors blow
But Centigrade and Fahrenheit
It fell way below zero

Titus said...

While riding on subby tits lightly jiggle when going over bumps.

merci.

tits.

There are bumps in your subway tracks?

That's ... not good.

Speaking of cold...

ndspinelli just posted what may be the greatest comment in the history of the internet over at TOP.

Certainly the ballsiest.

Titus said...

I just got deleted over there for telling I lost my virginity @ 6.

WTF?

Needy detestes me, she's in her glory too deleting me. I love it.

Chip S. said...

On Santa's lap at the mall?

I preferred Paddy O's. Anytime a post prompts him to clock in, I consider it a good thread.

ND, I'm wondering how your nose for narcissism became so plugged you missed the trail of the borderline? Could it be that walking on eggshells isn't one of your specialties?

As for the napping cat, bloodhounds beware! She can be a stealthy tracker and cheerful sleuth when wakened. Seemingly benign but most definitely perspicuous.

ricpic said...

You lost your virginity at age 6, Titus? Feeling a tingle down there doesn't qualify as losing ones virginity. Now that I think of it, the other, and better answer is, I always knew you were damaged goods.

Talk to me you magnificent 'mo. I ain't feelin' the love recently.

ndspinelli said...

ChipS, Thanks. I'm amazed she didn't delete it. When you consider her laments of having S.A.D., and how she gets more batshit in Dec[Bloody Sunday was in Dec.], we may be in for another show.

Titus, Minor point but I thought you said you got blown @ 5, not 6. Who blew you?

MamaM, If you're alluding to Allie/Inga, I was flat ass wrong on her. Guilty. And you're right on PaddyO. The wiseass/asshole in me for a second thought of a good natured ballbust. However, the good angel told me to STFU. He's a good man, and you're a good, perceptive woman.

Titus said...

The girl next door in the dog house.

tits.

Titus said...

Blown @ 5
Full cooch insertion @ 6-no cum though, not yet. Not until 12.

ndspinelli said...

Titus, The first time I jerked off, and only the first times, after getting soft again my johnson looked like an accordian or caterpillar. It scared the hell out of me w/ the warnings I always got from nuns and priests about spanking the monkey. I've NEVER told anyone this. You're like a sex therapist.

ricpic said...

Can't tell if that's a lever action 22 he's holding but anyway I want to have one for protection and I was told that Henry repeating rifles are top quality and reasonably priced. Anyway I went to the Henry Rifles site and the least expensive lever action 22 is $325 or $345 I forget which, with the Henry Golden Boy lever 22 at around $500. A lot of bread to me. But what good is it having my current 22 which only takes two bullets and then whaddayado? With the lever action you can get off 17 to 21 shots depending on the size of the ammo.

Just reporting in from the homefront in the fundamentally transformed USSA.

The Dude said...

I am leaning more towards this. The difference in price is minimal when you consider the difference in performance. 30+1 is always a good starting point.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Oooh. How have I missed this author. Must go check out our local library!

But, then again, I'm really behind the curve. Just started watching Firefly on Netflix. It is like Steampunk, Buck Rogers meets Deadwood.

ricpic said...

OMG, that thing took my breath away. I'd have to make a mental adjustment before living with it in the house. I know that sounds sissy but you have to come from a gun culture for that not to be a big step. Okay, it is sissy.

Chip S. said...

MamaM, I should clarify.

nd's comment made me drop my laptop and my jaw in astonishment. It was "great" in that it dared to say what other people had to be thinking but would never say. Maybe "amazing" would've been a better adjective, but WTH.

Gotta say that I'm impressed that it wasn't deleted. Good for them.

Trooper York said...

The person in question almost never deletes anything that is related to appearance.

It is her intellect that she is jealous of and will broke no knocks.
And that is where she is weakest. Just sayn'

Dust Bunny Queen said...

@ Chip

I think that spinelli's comment went wooosh right over their heads.

Trooper York said...

Jim Butcher's series about Harry Dresden is one of the best sci-fi series around DBQ.

You have to sort of start with an earlier book and work you way through them as Dresden grows as a wizard and you get introduced to the world he lives in.

There was a half ass TV series on Sci-Fi a few years ago but you can't beat the books. Especially the last two in the series.

Trooper York said...

Chuck call me. Let's do dinner next week with the wives.

The Dude said...

Joss Weedon is a communist. He used to seem normal, that series was more libertarian than anything else, but now he is just another Obama cocksucker.

Speaking of which, it looks like Althouse's internal ugliness is being manifested in her physical appearance now - that is one homely broad. But she does have a big head.

And plowboy looks like a combination of Slingblade and Forrest Gump with a dash of Ichabod Crane thrown in for good measure - what the fuck? I guess he is losing IQ and body mass drinking that mind-rotting box wine that they are so fond of.

As for the Spinelli comment - please post it here - I have a very low tolerance for searching comments over there. My reaction to reading that drivel makes me post mean comments over here, and that is never good.

I would rather post nice comments. Comments about rainbows and unicorns and .223 assault rifles - you know, positive, uplifting things.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Well, my 22 is an old, probably early 30's, Remington pump action rifle. Was my hubby's grandma's up on their ranch in Oregon. Now it is mine. Good for a varmint gun. Easy to shoot.

I'm also looking at getting a 223. I doubt that I would need the NATO round capability, like 60's example. But it wouldn't hurt to have that ability. Used to use a Springfield 30.06 bolt action for deer hunting.(ex hubby took it when he left..do miss the rifle though). The recoil was a bit much for me. Now that I'm not actually hunting anymore in the high desert areas, I don't need that.

I also need to get a new shotgun, since the one that I have now is just for home protection, not hunting.

Probably should hurry before Obama makes is illegal or impossible to get long guns.

Trooper York said...

DBQ might very well be right.

She is not that bright. Just sayn'

Trooper York said...

ndspinelli said...
I suppress my sexual feelings looking @ photos of narcisssistic, bloated women. Ironically, edutcher gets off on them. To each their own.


I applaud the spelling nd. A man after my own heart. Hee.

ndspinelli said...

Trooper, It's the viper spelling of narcissistic. An extra "sss."

The Dude said...

Oh my - that is brutal! Edutcher - likes 'em dumpy and clueless - awesome!

I have a shotgun/divorce story. Twenty years ago when my divorce got started we had a Marlin 12 gauge bolt action shotgun - a gift from the FiL. Knowing that the divorce was going to get ugly, I took the shotgun out into my shop, removed and discarded the bolt, hammered the receiver so that it would not accept the bolt, then in a final flourish, clamped the barrel in the vise and bent it double, as seen in Elmer "Millionaire" Fudd cartoons.

Well, sure enough, things got heated one day and my dear sweet ex- said "Where's the shotgun, I'm going to blow your fucking head off". I called the sheriff, reported the death threat and left the house.

The sheriff showed up, searched the premises, found the shotgun, laughed and took it with him.

The threat case was dropped, with the ex- denying having ever said anything, right up until she threatened me again in front of the judge. That broad was stupid, that's for sure. In any case, I was without any weaponry for many years, and if you want to hear the story of why I rearmed, just ask. Trust me, you don't.

MamaM said...

ND, your good angel is positively disarming! I appreciate your honest words and affirmation.

Regarding Titus and his changing stories, I too recall him trotting out different ages at which his first sexual experience took place, but this is common for those who experienced sexual abuse as children, particularly if multiple incidents and perpetrators were involved. A powerful imagination is another one of the side "benefit"s of early abuse. It's the mind's way of checking out.

What's curious to me is the power of imagination, regardless of motive, to prompt insight beyond original intent.

The Dude said...

Everything he writes (poorly) is a lie or in service to a lie, including the words "and" and "the".

Dust Bunny Queen said...

I have a shotgun/divorce story.

Back in the early 70's I bought my then boyfriend and husband to be a Mossberg 12 gauge pump action shotgun as a gift. It cost me quite a bit back then. It was a sweet action gun great for hunting and trap shooting.

The prick sawed off the barrel and carved the stock into a pistol grip before he left. Ruined it for goose hunting. At least HE has the illegal weapon.

The Dude said...

The history of sawed off shotguns is a curious one - and recently it has just gotten worse - they are now considered WMDs - I am not kidding - the mere possession of one is a federal offense.

Is this a great country or what?

Titus said...

The "sex" was WITH SOMEONE MY OWN AGE. SHE WAS 5 TOO. WE HAD SEX UNTIL WE WERE LIKE 16. SHE WAS HORNY BITCH.

Titus said...

TRUE STORY ABOUT THAT GIRL. SHE STAYED IN MY HOMETOWN-HER FATHER WAS VERY RICH, OWNS A FARM MACHINERY SALES PLACE.

ANYWHOO, MOM TOLD ME THE GIRL HAD TIT REDUCTION SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS IN HERE 20'S.

I DID HER AND HER SISTER WHO WAS A YEAR OLDER AS WELL AS THE GIRL ACROSS THE STREET WHO WAS 3 YEARS OLDER. ALL IN MY DAD'S DOG HOUSE. THEY WOULD ACTUALLY WAIT OUTSIDE THE DOG HOUSE TO FULL AROUND WITH ME.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY TOO.

I DID MY TWO GIRL COUSINS WHO WERE THE SAME AGE AS ME...DURING HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS.

Titus said...

WE STOPPED DOING IT WHEN THEY STARTED TO GET BUSHES.

MY THOUGHTS AND DESIRES TURNED ELSEWHERE.

I WAS ON THE PROM COURT AND LEFT MY DATE AT THE DANCE IN ORDER TO GO TO THE RAMADA INN TO DO A 28 YEAR OLD MAN-I WAS 16 BUT FOR SOME REASON COULDN'T CUM THAT NIGHT-HE WAS ADAMANT ABOUT MAKING ME SPLEW.

I'VE HAD PUSSY THOUGH, EVEN IN MY 20'S WITH FAG HAGS WHO KNEW I WAS POOF.

MY FRIENDS SAY SEX IS ME AND SEX WREAKS FROM ME AND THAT GUYS ARE IMMEDIATELY ATTRACTED ME, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE SEX THAT EMANATES FROM MY BEING. I DON'T GO OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT WHEN I DO THEY JUST CUM OVER TO ME.

EVERY NOW AND THEN I NEED TO GO OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS STILL WORKING.

TITS.

Titus said...

THAT WAS BRUTAL SPINELLI BUT I LOVED IT.

OF COURSE DUCSER WAS ALL OVER YOU-HE IS PROBABLY THE WORST OVER THERE. YOU KNOW HIS BLONDE WIFE IS A MAJOR DOG.

MamaM said...

To now be reduced to splewing all over the keyboard must be quite a come down for a much vaunted sex wreak.

Titus said...

SPLEWING ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD IS EASIER MAMAM, WHOM I ADOR. IT'S SO MUCH WORK GETTING READY, PLUCKED, WAXED ETC GOING OUT.

I AM GETTING LAZY IN MY OWN AGE. I JUST FLIP OVER TO THE GAY PORN SITE SEANCODY.COM AND IN 5 MINUTES I HAVE SPLEWED, TAKEN THE DOG OUT AFTER AND AM IN BED.

ALSO, SOMETIMES MY TRICKS HAVE STOLEN FROM ME AND THAT GETS OLD AFTER AWHILE.

I AM WATCHING IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE-SO FUCKING COMMIE AND ALGIER HISSIAN OR IS IT SAULINKIAN? OR WHO IS THAT COMMIE MIT PROFESSOR? IT'S DEFINITELY SOME FUCKING JEW.

Titus said...

I WOULD RATHER DO IT IN A RESTROOM OR BEHIND A BUSH (BUT NOT IN WINTER) BECAUSE THAT WAY I ALLEVIATE ANY PETTY THEFT.

THEY CUM TO MY LOFT AND IMMEDIATELY, THEY SEE WEALTH.

A TREE OR STALL IS QUICKER AND I AM ALL ABOUT WEIGHING THE PROS AND CONS.

ALSO, THE RARE CLUMBER ABS HATES VISITORS. HE GETS TOTALLY WORKED UP. WHILE WE ARE DOING IT HE IS PHYSICALLY ON US THE ENTIRE TIME, IT GET'S WEIRD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

Titus said...

PART OF THE PROBLEM IS I AM WHITE AND AMERICAN AND THEY ARE THIRD WORLD AND 20.

I AM HONEST THOUGH, I TELL THEM IMMEDIATELY THAT THEY ARE A PIECE OF THIRLD WORLD TRASH WHO WILL GET ON THEIR KNEES AND WORSHIP THE FAR SUPERIOR WHITE AMERICAN SPECIMEN.

I BET YOU ALL THOUGHT I WAS PART OF THE BLAME AMERICA FIRST CROWD....OH NO BITCHES. I AM VERY PRO AMERICAN. AND I LET THE BROWNIES BOWING TO ME KNOW IT.

I AM PRACTICALLY A REPUBLICAN.

Titus said...

AS SOON AS THE REPUBLICANS GET ON BOARD WITH THE FAG SHIT I AM THERE, SO WILL BE TONS OF FAGS AND THEIR MONEY. IN 10 YEARS THEY WILL BE TOO.

WE DETESTE TAKERS AND THE BLACKS. FAGS ARE DEFINITELY NOT TAKERS FROM THE GOVERNMENT-WE AREN'T BOTTOMS WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS-WE ARE MAJOR TOPS AND GIVERS...EXCEPT A MAJORITY OF THE NIG FAGS, NATCH-BUT THEY HAVE NO POWER OR VOICE IN OUR COMMUNITY-THEY ARE WAY BACK OF THE BUS WHERE THEY BELONG, SPICS EVEN MORE SO.

SUPPORT US AND YOU ARE IN FOR A WINDFALL. SERIOUSLY.

MamaM said...

After this diatribe, what's left to be said?

A TREE OR STALL IS QUICKER AND I AM ALL ABOUT WEIGHING THE PROS AND CONS.

ndspinelli said...

You know people become partially deaf w/ age, they start talking loudly. I think Titus has early onset hearing loss and it's manifesting itself w/ typing.

Actually, It's just naughty boy telling Troopper, "You're not the boss of me."

The Dude said...

Early onset dementia is my guess.

windbag said...

Not to pretend to read minds or anything, but is it a case of holiday angst, and overcompensation of the manic to ward off the depression?

Chip S. said...

William of Occam would probably point out that it's been 17 posts since a "Deep Thoughts...by Titus" entry.

Attention must be paid!

The Dude said...

I don't like shaving.

Chip S. said...

Willie of O just called to say I should cut my throat.

There's capschlock in the latest "Deep Thoughts..." post as well, so it wasn't just a demand for a new one.

Dementia it is.

The Dude said...

Then the question becomes one of causation - genetics, box wine or retroviruses, not that they are mutually exclusive, mind you.

ndspinelli said...

ChipS, Titus is a self confessed black hole of needy.

MamaM said...

Hypoxia. One of the other symptoms is priapism.

Michael Haz said...

I don't buy it.

I HAVE SOME BOOGS IN MY NOSTRILS THAT I HAVE TO LITERALLY TEAR OUT-THEY ARE LIKE PLASTERED IN THERE. I JAM MY PINKY WAY UP THERE AND WHEN IT CUMS OUT IT IS COVERED WITH BLOODY BOOG.

MY HUSBAND THOUGHT THE WORD "SLEDGE" WAS SOMETHING SANTA RODE ON-HE THOUGHT SLEIGH AND SLEDGE WERE THE SAME WORD.

WHEN I RIP THE BOOGERS OUT MY NOSE BLEEDS BUT IT IS SO FREEING.

BOOGS.

Titus said...

OMG, SLEDGE AND SLEIGH ARE THE SAME THING-I FEEL SO FOOLISH NOW.

Titus said...

I HAVE MY NOSTRILS AND EARS "CANDELLED" SO THERE IS NO HAIR FOLLICLES LEFT.

TITS.

HAIR CUMMING OUT OF NOSE AND EARS IS GROSS.
