After months of waiting and weeks of planning it's almost that time again.
What: Appreciation picnic/party for those of you who've supported this little blog of ours.
When: Saturday May, 21st 2016.
Where: Lessman Farm and Truckhenge Art Park.
4124 NE Brier Rd. Topeka, Kansas 66616
Time: That's still kind of up in the air. My partner in crime, Sarge and I will be there all day long getting things ready and I suppose we'll probably start cooking somewhere around 1:00 or 2:00 ish. But if you want to show up earlier or even later that's fine with me.
What we'll provide: We'll provide enough steak burgers, brats, hot dogs, and sausage links to make sure no one leaves hungry.
We'll also provide paper plates and bowls, plastic forks and spoons, folding tables, and a few chairs, and all the toppings for the burgers and brats we could possibly need.
We'll have one Johnny on the Job available and yes, it's gender neutral.
We'll provide plenty of good music. And if things work out we may even have a little live music to kick things off with.
We'll have name tags available but it's up to you whether you want to wear one or not.
There'll be plenty of room for a little target shooting and a place to kill a few clay pigeons.
And once we get closer to evening we'll build us one hell of a bonfire.
What you could bring: First and foremost you need to bring yourself. And it'd be cool if you could bring along your spouse and kids, too.
My wife, kids, and grand kids will all be there and are more than willing to help out any way they can.
If you're interested you might bring some kind of side dish like baked beans, salad, potato salad etc.
You'll need to bring the beverage of your choice and it might not be a bad idea to bring along a few lawn chairs.
Just like last year we've agreed to give Ron Lessman $200 for hosting us again this time around and if you can I'd appreciate if you could throw in five or ten bucks to help cover it but if you can't or if you just don't want to don't worry about it.
Rules: There's really only one rule. "Don't be a dick."
Why do I do this? It's simple really.
When Vent died last year it hit me like a ton of bricks.
But it was weird because I'd never actually met him in person.
That's when I decided I wanted to meet as many of the people we interact with on the blogs as possible and I was pleasantly surprised that so many others felt the same way.
Who's Invited? Everyone involved in the community blogs including right-wingers, left-wingers, and cjonline staff members.
This isn't intended to be a political event.
And I can't help but believe that if we'd all put our politics aside for one lousy day we'd find out we're really not that much different from each other after all.
One of the things I keep hearing from our left-wing friends is something about building bridges instead of walls.
Well, here's the bridge.
It's up to you whether to cross it or not.
Kevin McGinty
I hope to see you all there, it was great last year and we hope better this year with more new people on board now. I only have one question it would be nice to know if we have any wine drinkers out here that is coming ,I have 3 cases of imported wine 18 bottles but I don't want to bring them all if no one is interested, but for sure I am bring at least one case, nice to be prepared don't ya know.
ReplyDeleteBringing that wine is a sure fire way of becoming my daughter's hero...
ReplyDeleteThats cool Kevin, I always wanted to be a hero to someone, I am honored. :):)
ReplyDeleteWhat the Hell happen to Nunya here and at CJ????
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day! And a big hello to all you bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if any of you are having problems with the new CJ activation, but it seems there is a problem with with some of us. I did the activation thing and it I received a message I needed to subscribe and my account was not found. So I emailed CJ telling them all I wanted was to see the blogs and to comment and I got a message back saying I should be able to carry on as usual. Not so. I get this big box that appears saying I need to subscribe. Have any of y'all had that problem? I'll send another email to cj to see if that helps.
Same thing here. They want you to pay to just look. You know what I think about that?
DeleteI want to join y'all on May 21st but from what the doctor said more likely I will not be able to travel at that due to my radiation treatments. He tells me I will be very fatigued and the burn will be rather sore and I will not feel like travelling. Well, he doesn't know this gal! I have great willpower. But, and this is a very big but, my husband may hide my car keys from me. LOL. I'll work on him to see if he will drive me to Topeka and join us. I do want to meet y'all!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Ted just picked Carly as his running mate?
ReplyDeleteRose I got the same thing all I did was went to activate it and did what they said and tried to pick the plan I had and they said i was fine I was on their records and I would be billed as before, Now if you are not a paying member I don't know! Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what makes him think he is going to be running for POTUS. He must know something that no one else knows.
ReplyDeleteThey have giving Hillary the POTUS and she didnt even have to run for it. The RINOS gave it to her and they have no one to blame but themselves. Rush called it and others have also. They want Hillary before any others.
ReplyDeleteCruz is using her as a pawn fir the INDy vote or hoping Trump bads mouth her, I hope Trump just says good pick beat me to the draw I had her on my short list and leave it at that. Why Carly would say yes to someone who is a loser is ????
ReplyDeleteDunno about Nunya over here on the Bunker, but he's been booted off of Cj.... when I checked I had to log in then I saw the "Access Denied."
ReplyDeleteRikki
Well Rikki, He was telling it like it is and they couldn't handle it like always. He will be back here. Thanks Rikki.
ReplyDeleteyw Sarge. Hugs.
ReplyDeleterikki
as far as I'm concerned, Cj, their leftist mods, and their beloved idiot battlestache can all go to hell... in a hand basket...
ReplyDeleterikki
Rikki people like that all live a miserable life sad it is. They could and may be rich but are poor with within themselves .
ReplyDeletetoo many good people kicked off... and yet they know all too well the shit battle repeatedly gets away with.... makes one have to ask... who is kissing who's posterior....
ReplyDeleterikki
meaning that both the leftist mods and battlestache kissing up to each other....
Deleterikki
and to think that I was going to renew my subscription.... not now... cj can take a flyin' leap to the fiery furnace and they can take bat with them...
ReplyDeletesorry, I'm just royally pissed... another good commenter booted... pretty soon it's gonna be what bat's been wanting all along... a mr. Rogers neighborhood.... and sing that song that Barney the Purple Dinosaur sings... "I love you You love me
We're a happy family..." Cj may as well put duct tape on our keyboards and lock them up.
Rikki
Hey iffen any of you idiot leftist mods are reading this....
ReplyDelete:-P~~~~~~~~~~~~
that's me giving you the raspberries! your marriage to battlestache is going to make you lose readers and lose subscriptions..... gee I hope you feel it was worth it! booting those who your beloved regularly has confrontations with....
you and your beloved idiot bat deserve each other...
rikki
Rikki, easy I have read Nunya's stuff for a long time, I bet he knows how to Improvise and adapt and he will over come. At least I hope so.

ReplyDeletethanks for the tip battlestache....law enforcement will know what stalker to look for now.
ReplyDeletebattlestache you do realize that stalking is considered a crime against person... and depending on how the courts rule (i.e. misdemeanor or felony) either way it is a chargeable crime.
ReplyDeletelike I said, thanks for the tip. Law enforcement will know who to look for now.
Do y'all remember when they used to sell whole, boneless chickens? That is what Bat is, a spineless chicken. He's too chicken to show up. But I wish he would show up.
ReplyDeleteTexas Rose All I remember is when they had Batshit in a can, and what did we get, sameO sameO Batshit in a can, Hell we never did find a use for it.
ReplyDeleteTrust me when I say he won't be recording anything.
ReplyDeleteAnd that my friends is a promise...
Well what the hell could he record anyway, us having a good time with family and friends? Good God that is what the summit is all about, but we know those lonely friendless pukes can't deal with that. Come on out Handjob see what normal people do for fun.
ReplyDeleteSarge, maybe we could throw him a blanket party. I bet he would enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteKevin, I know you may have already but please reach out to catsandcats. At least make sure a message is sent.
ReplyDeleteI miss her posts.
I'm sure you have reached out, but email or send a Facebook message. Please and thank you.
Hammertime, I sat with Cats most ofthe time with her at the last summit along with Op and his wife Irene, I walked her to her car carrying a picture given to her by the 235 Group , I gave her a Hug as she got into the car and that my friend is the last we seen her. We All miss her dearly.
ReplyDeleteSigned by all of us too.
DeleteYes it was Signed by all that was still there, good point, and it was a picture of a Cat sitting on a chair. because she loved cats so much.
ReplyDeleteGood morning. Nunya still here. Been busy, and needed a break, anyway.
ReplyDeleteMe gone from the Urinal is my decision. If they are going to keep up the crap of letting one particular MFA run the place, like they've been doing...screw'em. The moderators have zero integrity over there.
Was thinking of going out in a big ol' ball of flames with one last post that would have absolutely deserved to be pulled...but thought...screw it. Would have played right into their hands, and someone could have crowed about getting me booted, instead of me going out on my own terms.
Anyway...will check in from time to time. The nicer weather has me doing a lot of necessary projects around here, anyway, and with slaving away all day to support all the greedy, selfish gimmes, too little time to do it all.
Have a good day.
Good Morning Nunya, good to see you here. Nice weather does have a way of drawing folks to getting stuff done in and outside of the house....
ReplyDeleteEveryone have a good day today -
Hugs, Rikki
Will miss your CJ post's Nunya but I fully understand. As long as CJ allows an employee to pretend to be someone else amd manipulate the blogs, kind of makes it tough.
ReplyDeleteI know in recent history, I said I was done with cj... now I'm totally done. there is not going to be anymore Rikki on cj... they can go to hell in a hand basket. it's totally bs what they're doing.
ReplyDeleterikki
Just posted my last blog on CJ and fired them. Poor customer service and pay to blog? Nope not doing it.
ReplyDeleteBTW thanks Rikki and Nun for leading the way. It made me think and obviously I agreed with you.
ReplyDeleteWhen they put the blogs behind the paywall lm sure they lost a lot of clicks. That's a desperate move by desperate newspaper. Newspapers all over the country are trying to find ways to survive but a paywall is something you rarely see. And then it's a major paper that people actually want to read.
ReplyDeleteAs the conservatives leave their numbers will fall and they have only themselves to thank.
CJ here's a little hint for you. Call it business 101. You're charging for advertising then charging the advertisers potential customers to see their ads. Sound like a good business model? And then drive off your most prolific content providers who draw virtually all of the viewers of those ads.
Hear that sound? That's CJ online swirling the drain.
You're about as relevant and meaningful as the latest in the long string of "downtown beautification" projects. Another bad idea thought up by the Topeka cartel.
It's only a matter of time now.
All you said but to add no response to emails asking about it or notice to their users. Just a great big Fuck You to all of us.
ReplyDeleteKTT - great blog, just read it. Being I don't have an online subscription, I cannot reply there. So Rikki is history on cj. Their loss not mine.
ReplyDeleteIf there are any mods over here snooping around... you done screwed yourselves big time on this one.
Rikki
There is a cheat that allows you to get around the subscription. I had to use it to post my blog.
ReplyDeleteWe will see if CJ cares but I won't hold my breath.
If they don't delete my account I have a super gross video to post that will get the job done. Hope it doesn't come to that.

Deletewill see if I can get over there and do that... thanks KTT

ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteIf this was CJ your post would be deleted but here we allow you to post attack posts because we are not easily offended.
The fact that you took the time to attack me over letting my friends on CJ know I was leaving and saying good bye to them is flattering.
Thanks for stopping by.
Done and posted.
ReplyDeleteRikki
I saw it. Good job. And look a poster is missing me already and followed me over here to attack me. Isn't that special.
Deletethanks KTT
DeleteRikki
Hey hand job don't you have some Alzheimer's patients to take advantage of? Oh that's right, you lost your license so you are out of the business of robbing old folks.
ReplyDeleteTakes a lot of nerve for someone with your history to come around here talking shit on these fine folks.
And your lack of understanding of the blogging world just proves who you are.
An angry, bitter, hateful old man who regularly demonstrates his lack of understanding of the cyber world. It changed a lot while you were locked up. Maybe before saying things that stupid you should spend more time actually reading real content instead of looking for pictures of little girls, you pervert.
Did any of you get to see Franklin Graham on the So. side of the Capital today? I wasn't able to go but I watched the live stream on wibw. Very powerful and moving.

ReplyDeleteThere was over 4,000 people at the Capital to listen to Franklin Graham. It is really a wonderful thing to have someone like him come to Topeka.
Rikki
My wife went. I'm home sick and couldn't go or I would have. Despite what the Christian hating Lucy and her fellow godless left wingers had to say.
ReplyDeleteSSAH, hoping you feel better soon. Hugs. It's time to separate ourselves from the other website....i.e. stop going over there.
ReplyDeleteThe less clicks they have, ...
Having Lucinda admit to not researching before posting her blog speaks volumes more than she may realize. I am glad I called her out on that and also glad that she 'edited' her blog...though by their rules the whole blog should have been pulled for misleading inaccurate information especially since she openly admitted she didn't research before she posted.
Rikki
Well, they booted me a long time ago. But I'm done with them for sure now. I subscribed to that paper for forty years at least and I cancelled it when they started jacking us around. Now they don't even want us to read that pathetic excuse of a paper.
ReplyDeleteWhen they have run enough is off I guess they'll get what they want. A nice safe space where only buttstash approved comments are allowed. All five of them a day.
Buttstash has a connection there someway even though they lie about it. Everybody's favorite lawyer Ken proved that when he laid it out clearly. That one would stand in court.
I've had all I want. Even though you can get around the paywall easy enough I'm done.
Bye bye urinal and buttstash.
Okay what does this mean?
ReplyDeleteWe don't Stand Up and Push Back? Or does it Mean We Give Up? and that we are no longer United We Stand? Something to think about Right? It seems like a good time to Adapt, Improvise, and overcome. HEAR ME!
Iwillnevergiveup.
Never, it's not that we're giving up.... we're rising above. besides, our message can get through over here because of the lefties who cowardly lurk in the shadows over here.... so we're still getting our message out.

Hammer, I've tried to no avail to contact our friend, Cats.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda funny you'd bring her up today as today's her birthday.
Check out her Facebook page and you'll see the last most she made was on Oct. 10th of last year.
https://www.facebook.com/kitty.katz.5070
If you're still out there I wish you a very happy birthday...
Kevin Good Point!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteYou all have a good night. Tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's not the "best" course of action but it certainly is the most satisfying...
ReplyDeleteKevin, one question do you have anyone in charge of climate control for May 21st?
ReplyDeleteThat is strange about cats not posting on facebook since October. I hope she is okay. I miss reading her comments.
ReplyDeleteCats if you are out there please let us know you are okay.
Nunya here.
ReplyDeleteWell...certainly didn't mean to influence anyone else jump that ship, the SS Urinal, over there...but everyone's gotta do what they feel..so I certainly respect the decisions.
Looks like Joan Wagnon was the lead race-baiter in the linked story. Standing outside Topeka High "recruiting students" to march. (Ain't it kinda creepy for someone to be allowed to stand outside a school and "recruit" students...(kinda like the guy selling candy from a van?)
http://cjonline.com/news/2016-04-28/marchers-trek-between-topeka-high-statehouse-oppose-racism
They even endorsed BLM. how touching!
I think I'll dub it "The Fight Fire With Fire Racists Against Racism Mini-March". Yeah...that has a nice ring to it, and it's accurate!
Here's how that game is played.
One or more rabble-rousers (liberal...any liberal) decides they need their name in the news. So, they do as Father Alinsky (who idolizes Satan) instructed, picks a target and polarizes it.
In this case, it's an entire demographic of people based on one particular characteristic. They blame that one demographic for ALL the problems in the country and the world, and "recruit" ignorant young people while their minds are still malleable, so they can mold the innocent children into little clay soldiers...to do what they want the children should do. Most of those children don't yet know enough about the ACTUAL 'real world' to be qualified to know what is really happening...especially since they've been brainwashed with revisionist history and left-leaning civics/current-affairs, etc. in public schools.
Then, they set out to fight hatred with hatred...(like endorsing BLM). Those kids didn't think a thing about that little march until Satan's soldier showed up to incite anti-whatever hatred, and cajole them into joining her.
So...to liberals...the best way to fight something is to be exactly what you are fighting against. White students ARE always encouraged to put on the well-taught and deeply-ingrained 'white-guilt' hoodies to join the cause...even if they have never done a racist thing in their entire lives. Schools have taught them that they are the problem, and the only way to remedy it is to feel deep shame for something they had absolutely no part in a long, long time ago. And, to stand there, proudly, at the whipping post to take whatever gets thrown at them, without complaint.
'Race-hustling', in itself, is pure racism, and as long as it keeps up (and keeps growing under the current regimes of Democrats and other liberals), there will be no downward trajectory of racism.
In fact...the liberals NEED racism, and all the other divisive -isms, to keep relevant. Without the fear and blame and hatred that divides each against all others...the Demoncrat party would implode.
And then, for added amusement, Pattysnakes gets on there and responds to the "Racists Against Racism" story with yet another ignorant, clueless, dementia-laced comment. Something about 'gays'? Things must have been slow at Golden Cornell. She had some conservators to hate in a post!
Have a good Friday.
