Dreadful days are coming

I thought I saw sackcloth on clearance at Walmart. Is that Dreadful enough or too hipster?

Depends if they're tie dyed. My ham's finished and I have an over abundance of ashes if you'd like some? Although they will attract a 20% tariff.
 
I have just been informed that yesterday was National Pinot Grigio day, and today is National Cheese Soufflé day. I've had a super day watching motor racing and knitting stuff for my fourth and fifth grandchildren (due in July and December respectively), and now plan to celebrate those national days in an appropriate fashion.

Dreadful days may be coming but 'twas ever thus.
 
It also occurs to me that I don't have enough hair left to make a decent hair Speedo out of, much less a hair shirt. I do have quite a bit of alcohol and I saw a Sombrero around here somewhere so it should all work out.

Can we do over a cooler year? '96 was pretty banging.

I kind of Dread the inevitable Day of the heat death of the universe, so OP has a point, there.

I'll pick up anywhere mid-adolescence to mid 1990's. Not sure what happened before that so I need to hedge my bets, and since that range has been a lot of work.

I am together with my partner since a bit more than seven years, and it may be the best time of my life.
In the moment we are, like last year, on holiday in Bretagne in the house her family owns.
Enjoying days at the beach, taking long walks, eating great food (it's France after all, had brilliant lobster last Thursday), do some adult stuff (not being married, take that you religious loser) now drinking red wine after a nice barbecue (mainly pork :)), and having a good look at her beautiful breasts.
If that is what you call terrible, I'm hoping for some more terrible years to come.

Off topic. This is the thread for dreadful days. Please start a new thread if you want to discuss terrible days.

Also, for old times' sake:

I don't recall if I ever gave you proper credit, but thank you Emre, for inadvertently adding this fantastic record to my collection.

Is it not strange that neither Turkey, which apparently invented everything, and/or Allah, who also apparently made everything, cannot protect us from the Illuminati?

Never mind....

... Tom Hanks will save us - if he can get to a library on time!!
 
My Corkonian friends are saying the end of the world's upon us since Sunday. Yes, I know 16 points is a hell off a beating but it's not apocalyptic.

Now, if they conspire to lose to the Déise next Sunday...
 
I stepped out of the house earlier today and it was RAINING! That hasn't happened in months! Nobody knows how to cope anymore!

The End has come :(

(Although, by the time I had bought a Croissant from the bakery and made it to the road-side stand that sells strawberries fresh from te field, the sun was back out and the streets had dried up. I guess the End must wait for another bout of light precipitation.)
 
Today is quite lovely. Still a bit cool but sunny and pleasant. My wife has a dental appt later so she may think that is dreadful.

Rain is forecast here for Saturday and beyond. Dreadful days are coming, at least for the moss on my drive, which has just received a liberal misting of Wet and Forget.
 
And it's gloomy and raining here again, with the same forecast for a while. Oh me oh my oh welladay, memorial day will be a washout, oh poor me poor us alas poor country almost afraid to know itself....oh wait you mean I might miss the annual shoot and pray day? Maybe it's not so dreadful after all!
 
Could we please put off the dreadful days until summer in the northern hemisphere has been and gone? I don't want to sound whiny, but I'm Swedish, and we need the light and the outdoor life to keep us sane the dark during the rest of the year? I am fully onboard with dreadful days in, say, November, I am in fact used to those in winter, but please, not until then!
 
I couldn't find parking within a quarter mile of my front door yesterday, courtesy of the goddamned Dreadful tourists. I'm with Emre. It's time to get apocalyptic on these bastards.

In the UK we've had the dryest start to the year since the 1950’s, don't get me wrong, I work outside so I appreciate not getting my accustomed soakings, but for the sake of the crops I think we need a few dreadful days.

When I was at primary school, every now and then dinner was something described as "Cheese Soufflé".

It was dreadful.

We had this weird dish that was eggs baked in a cheese sauce. Hated it at the time but I'm starting to feel a certain nostalgia.. Like luncheon meat fritters.
 
In hall at uni there was a thing they called "spaghetti carbonara". It wasn't spaghetti carbonara unless it had already been eaten and then regurgitated.

Same here in southern Sweden, but it seems we are finally back to the normal rotation of sun-clouds-showers-deluges, so I do hope that the dreadful days can be postponed.

In fact, I am so committed to postponing them, that I would actually offer to discuss what goes into a carbonara with the online Swedish foodies, if that would accomplish a postponement, and if you know any online Swedish foodies, you know that this would be the ultimate sacrifice. The Israel-Palestine threads, or even the trans-DEI ones, on here are not even close to as contentious.
