Bobservations

The other morning Carlos was part of a Zoom meeting so he took his computer back to the office for an hour or so. After he finished., I was getting ready to leave for work when he said he’d figured out some more steps to use Zoom to make it easier for him.

“I can use Alt A to mute myself and when I want to speak, I press and hold the space bar and I can talk. When I’m done I release the spacebar and it goes back to mute.”

“I wish I had a spacebar to mute a conversation because I’d start with this one.”

Again, the man loves me, and I don’t know why!

Sidenote: I love how he’s learning to adapt to his new situation.

This Tuxedo Memory if from November 2018 and is entitled:

“For Deedles”

“Here’s another shot of Tuxedo with his bat wings; he doesn’t lay like that all the time, but I think he does it to protect his paws.

And there he is looking gorgeous, followed by him laying atop a sofa, with his legs dangling. Having no claws in his front paws, he often lets his legs just hang down.”

I often called him BatCat for laying down like that!

Last Saturday French athlete Anthony Ammirati didn't move past the qualification round in the Olympic men's pole vault competition due to the interference of a second pole.

As you can see Ammirati is seen trying to clear a 5.70m bar but as he’s falling back to the ground the very noticeable bulge in his spandex suit catches the bar and knocks it all the way down.

The best X comment was something about Drag Queens teaching pole vaulters to tuck but the good news is that Ammirati’s profile has skyrocketed, his Instagram followers have ballooned to over 170,000 and already gotten a quarter million dollar offer from a porn site. 

Plus, he has an enormous dick.

PS Here’s the new logo for the Paris Olympics.

Jennifer Lopez is still wearing her engagement ring from Ben Affleck amid divorce rumors … but on her right hand where it couldn’t be missed when she held her red pocketbook just so.

Sigh. JLo gave up her tour that was bombing so she could stay home and work on her family, but then she went to Italy alone and posed in bikinis on yachts, and then jetted to the Hamptons where she threw herself a costume birthday party.

But Ben was busy, too ... purchasing a new bachelor pad.

One fact that I love about Tim Walz, Kamala’s Harris’ Veep pick is that during his career as a high school teacher, in the same year he coached the football team to a state title he also served as the faculty advisor to the school’s first Gay Straight Alliance Club.

Top that sofafucker.

You know, when you think about it, one of the reasons the weird thing is sticking is: if literally ANY of us met a nearly 80-yerar-old man who dyed his hair bright yellow and wore really bad orange pancake makeup we’d whisper to our friends”

“That guys’ fucking weird.”

Just sayin’.

NFL star Marlon Humphrey—I never heard of him either—blasted Olympic champions Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles for bowing down to Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade after she clinched the gold medal in the floor exercise final, saying:

“This is literally disgusting.”

Humphrey faced blowback instantly, whining, again, on X:

“I’m lowkey getting cooked right now. I think I’m getting cussed out in Brazilian [sic] on Instagram lol.”

Two things, asshat:

1] two world class gymnasts celebrated the Gold medal winner during the medal ceremony and you think it’s disgusting.

And B] It’s Portuguese they speak in Brazil, not Brazilian … and for goddess’s sake, learn to spell or stay off social media.

PS It was the first all-Black gymnastics podium.

Do you ever wonder if a camel looks at his toes and says, Damn, I have vagina foot?

Giancarlo Commare is a thirty-two-year-old  Italian actor but the real issue is: Would You Hit It?

Look On The Street! It's A Hooker! It's Bag Lady! It's A ...

I guess when your “reality” show ends, and your crazy ex-husband doesn’t need you any longer, you’ll do anything to get some attention … like rolling up on a crowded NYC street where, oddly enough,  people have gathered because perhaps you called someone and said you were coming up there, and then you get out of the car dressed head-to-toe in leather, up to and including a leather bondage mask with zippers over your eye slots.

Amirite Kim K? The Met Gala is coming up and Kimmy will be there and so maybe this leather hood is what Khloé uses to hide her newest face until she’s ready for the unveiling and Kimmy is following suit.

Or she’s just desperately seeking attention because the thirst is real.

Bobservations

Last week I was in our home office, working on the computer when the landline rang; and, yes, we still have  a landline, sue me. It was Carlos, calling me on his cell phone from our back deck, which he was cleaning. Our aging Pocket Dog, Ozzo, has some trouble navigating the stairs and occasionally he will poop on the deck, and Carlos was picking it up. But he needed me to come out and, um, “Point out the poop” so he could clean it up. As I saw no poop, I advised him to use the leaf blower, and then sweep, and that should work.

Another hour passed and Carlos comes in wincing in pain because he decided to sweep under one of the potted rose bushes and lifted the huge pot filled with soil and a rose bush by himself.

My husband. He needs me to Spot the Poop but thinks he can lift a giant pot all by himself. Today marks a week since his spasm and he is still wandering through the house muttering:

“Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.”

And now I’m in pain.

Tuxedo just wants to break it down real simple for the those of you in the back.

Just in time for the 9/11 anniversary, Thing 45 reminded Newsmax that on that date he was “down there” helping out after the attacks, a lie he’s been spewing for decades.

True, he was “near” the site, but he’s never proven that he helped, and now he has a new piece of the story, one he’s never told and it’s a doozy:

“We were hearing creaks—I’ve never forgotten it, it was I think the United States Steel Building it was called at the time; it was 50 stories tall, and we heard creaks. I said, ‘That building is going to come down,’ and two big firemen grabbed me, and grabbed other people, and they just moved out of that area. Never came down, but I never heard a noise like that. And it was a scary situation.”

He heard a building “creak” and he had to be rescued.

Fuck all the way off, grifter.

PS He plans to spend the 20th anniversary of 9/11 by calling a boxing match because, well, he’s being paid

I don’t watch Dancing with the Stars—never have, never will—because, well, stars? No so much,

Case in point, as I saw on GMA this week, is that one Olivia Jade will be one of the “stars” this season. Don’t know her? She is the daughter of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, the two who tried to buy her way into USC by forging pictures of Olivia as an Olympic worthy rower.

So, perhaps this season should be called Dancing with the Children of Rich People Who Tried to Bribe Their Way Into Getting Their Children Into Good Universities Even Those Their Daughters Are Dumb As A Box Of Attention Seeking Rocks.

Too long?

Daily coronavirus infections are more than four times what the U.S. was seeing on Labor Day last year … a 316% increase.

You can blame the highly contagious delta variant while I lay the blame at idiot anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

Oh, and COVID hospitalizations are up 158% from this time last year when we were in the midst of the pandemic.

We will never learn.

And in Florida, one of the states hardest hit by the Delta variant because they are idiots with a fool for governor, don’t even think to ask how many people are dying every day because the state of Florida won’t say.

They will not release that information because as many more people die every single day it makes those in charge look bad.

As murderers often do.

Former Thing 45 lapdog and liar Kellyanne Conway is rejecting a request from the Biden administration that she resign from the United States Air Force Academy’s board  or face termination. Conway said in a letter to Biden:

“Your decision is disappointing but understandable given the need to distract from a news cycle that has you mired in multiple self-inflicted crises and plummeting poll numbers.”

She ended the letter saying it was a “privilege” to serve under grifter, rapist, racist, adulterer and con artist Thing 45 “whose actions resulted in the deaths of terrorists” including Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qasem Soleimani.

She forgot to mention the 600,000+ Americans her former boss murdered, and the 5,000 Taliban terrorists he let out of jail.

Now Joe will simply fire her … You’re fired … which has an ironic ring to it ... and she will slither back to the crypt.

Texas Right to Life’s website, ProLifeWhistleblower.com, which asks people to inform on those obtaining or facilitating abortions, has not stayed up for long, as website registration providers have said the online form to submit “whistleblower” reports violates their rules.

First, GoDaddy booted the group from its platform, and they scurried over to Epik, until that site told the Texas organization hat it had violated the company’s terms of service.

Good.

This is an old feature of ISBL that I might revive for Bobservations; it was called, simply, Would You Hit It?

This is Finn Wittrock, who has been a staple on American Horror Story for several seasons now and is the star of this season’s ‘Red Tide’.

The rules are simple … Would.You.Hit.It. Yes or No.

Random Musings

That’s Consuelo Roca-Jones, our Homo, er, Home Office ManagerCat. Caught loafing on the job again.

PS That's Tuxedo, on the floor, sleeping through his appointment, apparently.

This is a problem?

Due to their innovative waste-to-energy, AKA recycling, program Sweden is facing a new crisis: they are running out of garbage. Sweden’s waste management and recycling programs are second to none as only 4% of the nation’s waste ends up in landfills. In the US, nearly 50% of our crap goes back into the ground.

Since the Swedish manage waste so effectively and then use what remains to partly power their country, they are now living an environmentalist’s dream: a shortage of garbage.

Speaking of garbage … Anthony Weiner. How’s that for a segue, huh?

Well, actually, I want to discuss one Sydney Leathers—also garbage—who is just one of the women with whom Anthony Weiner engaged in explicit exchanges online. Looking for her fifteen minutes of fame as an online sexting addict, Leathers is now saying she feels “manipulated” by the Weiner.

And that’s her exact problem; that and the fact that she is no better than Carlos Danger because she engages in the same behavior as he does and then plays the Poor Me card.

STFU Syd, you’re an idiot.

Louis Rispoli, a gay rights activist and well-known fixture in the Woodside neighborhood where he lived for 32 years, was murdered nine months ago and his killers are still on the loose. But this week in his honor, the street where Lou lived, 51st St. and 43rd Avenue, was named in his memory: it’s called Louis Rispoli Way.

“This is a bittersweet day, with his killers till out there.” Danyal Lawson, Louis’ widow.

Last October, Rispoli went out to for milk just after two in the morning and he was beaten to death by three men in their 20s who got away in a white sports car. Police released a sketch of the suspects but they would never found.

The renaming of a street doesn’t help Danyal Lawson, but it is a reminder that Hate Crimes against LGBT citizens are on the rise.

RIP Louis.

I’m a huge fan of BBC America’s Copper. Sure, it’s your typical New York City police procedural, but this one takes place in Five Points in 1865 so it tells some of the same stories in a different way.

Of course, being shallow, and loving some Man Candy, it doesn’t hurt that one of the good-guys-turned-bad-guy-turned-maybe-good guy, Francis Maguire, is played by hottie Kevin Ryan.

OVERHEARD AT WORK

Straight Female Co-worker: I don't really have a gag reflex.

Bob: Did you add that to your Match.com profile?

Straight Female Co-worker: Shut up! You can't get married.

Bob: Actually, I am getting married.

Straight Female Co-worker: Well, you can't get married in South Carolina...

Bob: Apparently, neither can you...

I love this one ….

Cumulus Media, the nation's second-largest owner and operator of AM and FM radio stations, has not renewed the contracts of rightwingnut zealots Rush ‘Drug Addict’ Limbaugh and Sean ‘Tea Party Lapdog’ Hannity.

The decision comes after a breakdown of negotiations between Cumulus and Clear Channel "over the cost of the distribution rights," and supposedly has nothing to do with any comment made by either of the hosts.

Still, they’re gone from that company’s stations and I think the airwaves smell a little sweeter, and far more intelligent, now.

Last Monday, Pope Francis responded to a question about gay Catholic clergy by promising not to “judge” homosexual priests:

“Who am I to judge if they’re seeking the Lord in good faith? They shouldn’t be marginalized. The tendency [to homosexuality] is not the problem … they’re our brothers.”

And the world went nuts because the Pope loves The Gays except ….

He doesn’t. He just doesn’t judge, he still doesn’t want gay priests or same-sex marriage, he’s just passing the judgment buck to the man in the sky.

So, put away your I Love Pope Frankie t-shirts, nothing’s changed.

Oh, and speaking of marriage equality, congratulations Minnesota and Rhode Island, celebrating their first same-sex marriages.

The march goes on….

Nick Jonas is the latest celebri-moron to post a selfie on the interwebz, following in the tradition of, yes, Carlos Danger, Grampa Geraldo Rivera, and even my own beloved Huge Ackman.

Note to those self-obsessed selfie photographers: you look desperate.

Back to The Biggest Weiner ….

The bad news out of the Weiner campaign never ends. 

It seems that earlier this week the campaign staff awoke to see their former intern, Olivia Nuzzi, on the front cover of the Daily News telling a rather unflattering tale of her experience working on Anthony Weiner’s mayoral bid.

So now, Team Weiner is firing back; or at least his communications director Barbara Morgan is firing back with a barrel full of curses:. During her rant about Nuzzi, Morgan called the woman a fame hungry “bitch” who “sucked” at her job. She also Nuzzi a “slutbag,” “twat,” and “cunt” while threatening to sue her:

“I’m dealing with like stupid fucking interns who make it on to the cover of the Daily News even though they signed NDAs and/or they proceeded to trash me. And by the way, I tried to fire her, but she begged to come back and I gave her a second chance. Fucking slutbag. Nice fucking glamour shot on the cover of the Daily News. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again.”

Naturally, as the Weiner camp is apt to do, time and again, Morgan apologized:

"In a moment of frustration, I used inappropriate language in what I thought was an off the record conversation. It was wrong and I am very sorry, which is what I said tonight when I called and emailed Olivia to apologize."

Off the record conversation with a news site? Hardly.

And don't get me started on those two 'reality' show whores and their latest court dates....

I loves me some Kristin Chenoweth. I loves me some Wicked. And I loves me some parody.
