Thanks for ruining my lunch
Not sure how that's bullying, but ok. If it came with a big ol' sausage, then maybe I could see that.

Me neither. Looks like the video link went down anyway. This was the jist...

We are counting down the Halloween and one of this year's hottest costumes is sparking a pretty heated backlash. It's the Caitlyn Jenner corpsset and wig set and has a lot upset. ABC's gio Benitez has the story. Reporter: Caitlyn Jenner, her striking "Vanity fair" cover, one of the most problem rabble moments of the year but not surprising the image is an inspiration for countless Halloween costume. People want a Halloween costume that makes them look good and they're wanting to look cool and put across the idea that they know what's going on in the world or thinking about big issues. Reporter: Retailers like wholesale Halloween costumes and anytime costumes deciding to pull the costumes from their site this week but controversy has been brewing since August when the first call me Caitlyn costume came on the market many taking their outrage to Twitter saying it's the most offensive ever and others demanding retailers not sell it. Some people see that Caitlyn Jenner costume as potentially a little offensive, maybe a little incensensitive but then other people see it the opposite way, they say, well, this is a way to honor her and say that she's a superhero. Reporter: Caitlyn has said she's not offended but now in a bold new piece in "Vanity fair" Monica lewinsky weighing in as someone who knows all too well what it's like to be the butt of Halloween jokes writing it's complicated when someone starts the year as a private person and by October ends up in the costume aisle. The question of what's edgy and topical versus what's offensive and tacky is a fine line. Celebrities have always used Halloween as an opportunity to let loose and dress up as their Hollywood counterparts but critics say that costumes like Jenner's don't just make fun of her but the entire transgender community and lewinsky is reminding us there is a fine line between clever and cruel. For "Good morning America," gio Benitez, ABC news, New York. Caitlyn doesn't mind. I guess there's a fine line but lighten up. It's Halloween. Relax.

Afternoon men.  Have a somewhat large RG L'Atlelier from the CFest stash on fire with coffee.  Had a delicious BBQ for lunch at an event serving Schmidt Family BBQ out of Bee Caves. You familiar, TxDave?

It's a worldwide phenomena.  Next, somebody will shoot up a satire magazine. 

Oh, wait...

Been doing some research for getting the Redfish Retirement Mobile up and running properly.

Now it is cigar and heart medication time!  Off to the humi to make a selection.

Afternoon, Mikey.
Hey Raz!  How can a mere costume bully a 66 year old Olympic has-been tranny?  That's not news.

It can if you work hard enough at being offended.  It's the new Great American Pastime.  Afternoon, Mikey.
