2 Can we just use the Amazon link to help keep Ace supplied with busty lesbian erotica instead? Will UPS deliver to his underpass lair?

3 I already donated.  I am not donating any more this quarter.

And I am getting irritated because discussions are getting truncated.

Oh, and I see THIS thread has been stomped by Ace with another video.

I am going to go clean the kitchen.  Bah.

Sigur Ros.  Best band on the planet.

Crazy world.

6 3 Miss Marple, Well this 1/4 ends in what a week? J/k

7 And I am getting irritated because discussions are getting truncated.


But, but..Baconz!!

8 Someone needs their own blog.

9 ...share the fat

10 Are there no prisons?

And the Union workhouses - are they still in operation?

I don't make merry myself at Christmas and I can't afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned. They cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there!

11 A lot of posts today. Perhaps fewer are warranted.

12 Fine. Hit the jar. (Guess I can't go in the far door to escape it like I do with the girlscouts and boyscouts.)

13 I had an interesting comment 2 threads ago

15 Sigur Ros. Best band on the planet. Posted by: Fourth Virginia at March 26, 2013 10:14 AM (wbmaj) I was listening to Takk last night and it definitely helped lower my desire to punch puppies in the face. Drat it to heck, I may be compelled to go to IHOP for lunch today. Mmmm. Bacon.

16 And the Union workhouses - are they still in operation? ... how revisionism operates given tax funding

17 When we use the amazon button on the right, does Ace still get credit even if we navigate several pages further on the Amazon site? Hoe does that work???

18 Petraeus to apologize blah blah blah ... at this point? wtf, jumping into the media spotlight in order to distract public attention away from Syria, NKorea, and every single nation that the US is warring on behalf of NATO/UN but only at US taxpayer expense. and btw, private banking savings funds officially confiscated in order to "save" a monetary unit. /So Petraeus still has dreams to run for Potus v. Hillary?

19 Drat it to heck, I may be compelled to go to IHOP for lunch today. Mmmm. Bacon.

This reminds me....last night my husband mentioned he saw a "bacon taco" online somewhere.  Of course, I rushed to google....yep.  A taco with a bacon shell.  I WILL make these.  Paleo friendly....

Morning, all!

 

I don't know what thread to post on, since they keep playing hopscotch with each other.  I'm so confuuuused!

 

I'll just settle for saying that Obama is a    stuttering clusterfuck of a malevolent tyrant and leave it at that.

That album is darned near perfect.  Everything else they've done is... less perfect. 

 

And lately the stuff they're releasing is either recycled or it  just  sounds like it is. 

24 Since we're talking about the Ewok, here's a picture of what Ace's kid would look like, if he had one:

When you search Amazon through     Ace,    you'll see that the URL when you're at Amazon will reference AOSHQ.   As long as you see "AOSHQ" referenced in the URL as you're clicking around on Amazon, you're good. 

 

EXAMPLE:  http://www.amazon.com/s/?tag=aoshq-20&link...

27 So, seriously: We are at a very dangerous moment in this country.

Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Association and Freedom of Speech cannot co-exist with queer marriage.

There is a reason they keep calling it a "civil right."

Here's the problem: We didn't protect the First Amendment rights (Association and Speech) of racist business owners--no matter that they were nasty, vile people--and now we will soon find out just how poor a choice that was.

By around June 15th, your church will be an enemy of the state.

Do you have any bouquets of flowers or     carefully situated mugs full of pens   that could conceal a small surveillance camera      in your kitchen?   If so,  GET RID OF THEM IMMEDIATELY.   They've clearly been bugged!

29 MWR, that stays all through the search and buy process?

Thank you! I have been purchasing through that link for awhile. it is good to know it works.

Just a lucky guess.....and put your pants on.  You'll burn yourself.

31 About that Karate Rap video REAL - REAL - REAL!!!

HA! HA! HA! I just got off the phone with the guy and it's real! Super nice guy! It sat in a box and was just put on YouTube at the urging of his kids. Again - really nice guy.  Still doing video production in NYC.

http://www.todayvideo.com/

32 So Google Alerts are still a thing.

33 Get a PO Box. This is not hard. Pay Pal is not something everyone wants to use. When you get a PO Box, I'll send you a Franklin. That will pay for the Box for a year. I will also get my drug dealer and Arab friends to send money. Cash is OK, right?

34 What's next, a personal appeal from Jimmy Wales?

35 See, that would be funny. Ace should put up a pic of Jimmy Wales (wiki guy for those of you in Rio Linda) and parodize him.

36 Just a lucky guess.....and put your pants on. You'll burn yourself.

Funhater.

37 How did you know I just made a batch of bacon? *eyes walls and ceiling suspiciously Enunciate clearly & speak towards your toaster. That is all..

38 I KNEW the glass door on the toaster oven was a bad idea!

39 Speaking of baconz, I spent yesterday after the Comcast technician installed our Xfinity phone and promptly killed cable, the phone, and teh internet (and then took four hours to come back and fix his fuck-up), thinning the "herd" of cookbooks and recipes.

Found a turkey recipe I'd forgotten about, where thick slices of bacon are woven over the top of the turkey.  Covering it.  Completely.

Keeping that recipe.

40 So Google Alerts are still a thing. But "ungoogleable" isn't. According to the swedes.

Random thoughts on the business model...

 

The tin cup model is a time-tested way to support websites that people enjoy.  There is no shame in passing the hat to help defray the costs and give the host a little something for the effort.

 

If AllenG ever starts a blog, this would be good way to go.  However, if he ever reached the stellar heights of being the CPAC Blog of the Year, you would hope a certain level of financial success would accompany the title.

 

A reasonably big time website should generate a fairly decent amount of revenue from ads, but a number of blogs you would think should be doing well struggle.  Why?

 

Well, at first glance it would appear that the agency selling the ads has different goals than the websites they represent.  By trying to position themselves as the agency that can represent all websites selling ads and all customers buying ads, they explicitly exclude certain demographics and advertisers so as not to offend.

 

Some websites are relatively offensive just by their nature.  I'm certain that if a poll were conducted of New York liberals, the Ace of Spades HQ would be declared an offensive hate site for hating haters.  Because of this, the business model must be reviewed.

 

One way to make the website less offensive to the general populus and more friendly to advertisers would be to change the thrust from humorous political banter to recipes and crafts.  Plenty of AoS commenters are excellent cooks and some are gifted home crafts people.

 

Another road to consider would be to engage an agency less committed to Bloombergesque moral purity, that would take advantage of the demographic already assembled here. 

 

Without trying to be funny, the most lucrative advertising targets for the AoS demographic would be:

 

Liquor

Cigarettes

Guns

 

The point is that the internet isn't television, radio or newpapers.  Instead of a scattershot appeal to everyone, websites provide a laser-like market in very narrowly defined demographics.  Intermarkets has the ability to exploit this type of microtargeting, but it appears the desire on their part to remain squeaky clean outweighs their client's interests.

 

Not that it matters.  Just sayin'

 

42 By around June 15th, your church will be an enemy of the state.

If your church believes killing babies is wrong, it already is.


In other news, my manager seems surprised that his Section 8 tenant doesn't care that he keeps having to spend his weekends snake out tampons and condoms that she's flushed.  Heh.

43 I tried one where you wrap a turkey breast filet (2 of them end to end and trussed) with bacon, then smoke it.

Man, that stuff is SOOOOO good.

44 ::: A reasonably big time website should generate a fairly decent amount of revenue from ads, but a number of blogs you would think should be doing well struggle. Why? ::: No T-shirts

45 Without trying to be funny, the most lucrative advertising targets for the AoS demographic would be: Liquor Cigarettes Guns MOAR ads from H&K, Marlin, & Macallan please!

46 I'd like to help but things are just so unexpected now


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans are less confident in the economy than they were last month as massive government spending cuts stoke economic uncertainty.

The March confidence index fell to 59.7 from a revised reading of 68 in February. That's also below the 68.7 reading that analysts polled by research firm FactSet expected.



Missed it by that much

47 A reasonably big time website should generate a fairly decent amount of revenue from ads, but a number of blogs you would think should be doing well struggle. Why? No T-shirts ^^^^^^^^^ This. And no coozies, mousepads, gimme caps. IOW, SWAG!

48 Can I get me one of these Anne Frank tree saplings here to contribute to a good cause?
I'll buy 6 million of them, and you can keep the totebag.

49 Well. Now we know what PBS would look like if the Ewok managed a hostile takeover. (Though the rework of "Sesame Street" that would imply shall be left as an exercise to the student sufficiently bored.) The eggs and bacon, they are looking at me...staring into my soul like the gaze of justice...tasty, tasty justice. Oh, and historical footnote of the day: The fumi-e, otherwise known as "that prof's not so clever": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fumie

50 46 Missed it by that much Only thing missing is the word "unexpectedly"...sigh.

51 Yeah, my MSNBC-addicted dad has been ranting about outlawing 3D printers because they can be used to make guns. After he finishes his rants, I always reply with a, "Good!" or "That's awesome" comment. But I don't think he gets it, hehe.

Been saving $$$ to buy additional handgun ammo but supply is a b**ch.  I guess we can forego some shooting and hit the ewok again.

53 I thought that only Sally Struthers guilts like this...

54 This thread is hardly teeming with bacon-supplying zealots, it seems.
Now, it could be due to sequestration.
It could be due to a Plethora of Reasons.

But why does one hoard bacon while Ace has it not... that escapes the rational mind.

55

Subtle Butt Gas Neutralizers:    I  thought  I  see  a  picture  of  a  Bic  lighter.....boy,  was  I  wrong. 

56 Nic links to my dumb little bacon vid. What? It's on-topic, right? Also the end of Henrí"s Friskies vids part deux... heh

57 A wonderfully talented Renaissance e-Wok could rapidly climb the snowy peaks of financial independence by selling ripe fruit at a busy intersection.

It is because of 'rons and 'ronnettes like you that he has to pay for server bandwidth in order to cross-post fhit from HotGas and William Shatner youtube vids.

Pay up! Pay up! Pay up the e-Wok!

it will atone for your guilt.

58 test

59 If you give him money, you'll never get rid of him.  I would suggest doubling the subscription price.  When it hits people in the pocket, you'll know who the true fans are.  Once you have them hooked, you can proceed to milk them dry.  (Yeah, I realized I mixed a few metaphors there.  I really don't care.)

60 OK I've kicked in another $20. For this kind of money we should get a vid of Gabe's acceptance speech.
