Just maintaining the stupid shit level on this blog. No disrespect intended. Feel free to push it down or delete it – I just can’t deal with being sad all day.

Pupster visits PJM.
Sibling rivalry starts early.
Now someone please post a kick-ass song or two, and I’ll make some BLT sammiches for lunch. And a juicebox.
I’ve come to a decision on my George. I’m dropping him off Monday morning to get the stone removed. It may or may not come back and I can do some steps to try and prevent it. He, like my girl pig, who had a small stone a couple years back, are not big drinkers. If I have to, I will learn to give subcues and I will also filter his water, as we have hard water here.
He may or may not survive but I can’t keep him in limbo or watch him deteriorate under threat of obstruction.
Send him some internet kisses and pets for his head and tell him how handsome he is. He likes that.
Also, please tell the Sandman that he missed my house last night. Between worry over/monitoring the pig, the storms moving through, and the damned trains*, I did not sleep a wink and had to call off work.
*the tracks are a couple of miles away but man are they loud. what is funny is they built a beautiful subdivision 10 feet from the tracks. Those people have to be insane from the rattliing.
Beasn, I have hard water, too. If it’s calcium, filtering alone won’t remove it. I put in a reverse osmosis faucet at the kitchen sink after I had a kidney stone. Mother of God, those things hurt.
So, I watched the first Resident Evil movie last night.
Pretty good. Mostly a style thing, not really plot. But it was pretty well executed. Much better than most video game movies. And even though I’ve never played the video game, you can tell it stuck pretty closely to the game.
Beasn, I thought I had pulled a muscle in my back. I was taking muscle relaxers and using a heating pad for a couple of weeks, and they weren’t doing a damn thing. The stone was 9 mm in diameter, so it wanted out but wasn’t going anywhere. Finally the pain was bad enough, I went to the ER and got an X-ray.
Impromptu photo shoot hasn’t happened yet. In about an hour. I’ll be thinking of Rosetta (weird, I know), since we’ve decided to use the black vinyl ball gown. ESSITED!
Well, now that I live near LOTS of photography friends, I can probably do a return engagement on Load HEAT with tons of interesting new pictures for ya, xbrad. Give me a month or two.
My first chopper rides were in Hawaii with the 25th division’s birds. They were strictly monitored for safety. 5 point seat belts, doors closed, pilots driving like a granny on the way to church.
So it was a bit of a surprise a while later when my unit got lifted by choppers from the 2nd ID.
Seat belts? Hell, there were no seats? And those guys drove the birds to the very ragged edge of the envelope. That was pretty much the only time I was happy to get off the birds and start walking…
Hi, Texas folk. Ms Clintbird and I are thinking about a long weekend in San Antonio over Thanksgiving. I haven’t been there in awhile, so I’m fishing for recommendations. Other than the obvious chain choices, what would be a nice, affordable river walk hotel we might want to stay in?
Locals in San Francisco call it “The City” and get annoyed if you call it “Frisco.” I recommend saying “Frisco” as often as possible while you’re there.
Of course, you gotta eat Tex-Mex. San Antonio also has great BBQ, but you can get that anywhere. You should eat as much Tex-Mex as you can stand.
You can easily start a gunfight in San Antonio over what’s the best Tex-Mex place. But if you are downtown and want cheap and good, you can’t go wrong at the Blanco Cafe. It’s an easy walk from the Riverwalk, but not on it, so it’s not touristy. Popular with people who actually work downtown.
But, you’re probably going to want to dine on the Riverwalk as well.
If you want fancy noovoh upscale Tex-Mex on the Riverwalk, the Iron Cactus is very good.
For more moderately priced Tex-Mex on the Riverwalk where you might score a table outside by the water, Rio Rio Cantina is good.
The place to avoid, IMHO, is The Original Mexican Restaurant. It is strictly an overpriced tourist trap and the food ain’t all that.
Michigan’s QB is going to be the highest paid player in the NFL someday.
I’m curious to see if that performance against N.D., also unranked, might be good enough to sneak Michigan into the bottom of ranked teams. That would be nice.
Ohio put on a pretty convincing show with Miami today. Much as I hate them, it’s nice to see them whup a non-conference ranked team.
Scott, I had every intention in the world of being there for the meat up at Michael’s and Cathy’s, then this fucking ASTM conference shit on my plans. Hotbride was looking forward to meeting you all, and I wanted a reprise of sorts of CT.
I will not be able to attend Tejas meat up after all. My mom is going in for surgery one step down from Patty Ann’s that Monday. Sorry you’ve lost a car buddy Brad.
Thanks for bringing those Scott. I’m really bummed that I cannot be there. I will miss you all that I have met and sad that I won’t get to meet more Hotages.
Who wants to come over and finish all this shredding I have to do? And then will you make me dinner? No wait; dinner first and then you can shred for me.
You made me hot with your dancing Vmax! I’ll tell Mr. Cyn you said hello. He took our two boys to the ASU v. NAU football game with some tailgating to boot–rootbeers and pizza rolls don’t cha know!
OK, I got to play 9 holes of golf today with a thoroughly delightful gentleman, I had pork for dinner and am now quite relaxed (although I could use a drink).
Have a great evening Vmax. You put that Missy Prissy Cissy in her place! And how crappy that YOU had to go pick her up; they were the ones that unadopted her!
The MFM and a lazy electorate that did not take the time to inform themselves of Barry’s total lack of any redeeming feature beyond the happenstance of his parentage.
Vmax. I had a dog that never gave up the “dominate thing” until one day when I lost my temper. I threw him on his back and bit his neck, he screamed and it was over.
He accepted the number 2 position and continued to be an asshole to my ex-wife.
“Good doggy.” He was such a prick. I have a vivid memory of him running up the stairs, biting her in the belly and running back down as fast as he could.
I laughed my ass off.
He was a Lab, and at about 3 years of age turned into the nicest dog.
I didn’t mind not having booze on the ship. I was busy, worked 16-18 hours a day and drank cups of black coffee from the time I got up until just before I passed out.

Drove 75 min thru fog so thick last night you could see about three of the dashed lane lines ahead of you, and couldn’t see the mile markers on the side. To the fucking truckers still doing 65mph+ I’d buy your assertion that you possess supersekrit-seeing-thru-fog abilities if you didn’t damned near fucking sideswipe me.
Once when I was about 9, we had lighting strike a very large but dead tree in our back yard. Very scary. The tree stayed up, but the lightning had spiraled around the tree to the bottom. Where the lightning had stripped the bark, and even a little deeper, it was smooth as a baby’s butt. My IQ shot up to 198.
We just had this huge storm here and the Cattery flooded! I have been mopping for hrs. The power just came on and the cam just came up again and all the kittens were looking stupid because seconds before it was pitch black! I really thought we were going to have a twister..
Comment by Dave in Texas on September 11, 2010 10:59 pm
Michael, it was a joke. You really need to get your humor detector recalibrated. I can’t count the number of times you’ve taken me seriously when I was clearly being facetious.
Seriously, golf is partly you against other golfers, partly you against the course designer, and mostly you against the kids who picked on you in high school.
Comment by pendejo grande on September 11, 2010 11:13 pm
Nobody asked me, but I really do like to eat the pork ribs at The County Line BBQ on the riverwalk in San Anonio. Stay the fuck away from Bill Miller’s BBQ while you’re there. It’ll ruin you on BBQ for a year or so.
Anyway, I’ve been super tired for the last 5 hours, which is why I don’t like shopping with my mom, so I’m off to bed. Y’all enjoy your collective evening.
Are you really proud of the fact that Texas thumped Wyoming Community Junior College while Michigan pulled a clutch victory against Notre Dame out of their ass?
Well… I went off to read the comments.. It is universally hated except for the value.
I was wondering, because we in GA are not exactly pikers when it comes to barbecue. Although we do stick to the superior meat- the luscious and tasty pig! (sorry Beasn!)
The original Hard Rock Cafe, by the way, was a single store in London with a unique concept — sell American food (burgers, apple pie) and decorate with rock memorabilia.
British rock stars started showing up to get the food they enjoyed while on tour in America. The place became super-cool; there were lines to get in. They opened a private club downstairs so they could continue to cater to the rock stars and celebrities. I’ve actually been there many years ago (and got the tee-shirt while it was still rare). Our English friend talked us into the private club. I was sitting in a booth right next to a framed set of guitar picks used by Roger Daltry (I think; it was somebody big).
Now it’s a global chain. There is a Hard Rock Cafe on the Riverwalk.
Michael, you’re taking good care of Cathy, right? It’s a little less fun when she’s too sick to really come out and play.

Reluctantly, I have had to give her a couple of BiW 20-Second Hugs™, thanks to him shooting his fool mouth off about that at his blog. Seems to have worked. She’s feeling better. She’s bugging me about attending a new Bible class on 2nd Corinthians that starts tomorrow.
Are we done talking about 9/11? I am watching this show that is making me so irate and it is a funny feeling b/c I realize every year we are going to do this and yet this is the first time so far that I have felt a deeper…MATURE, Anger. It is different from before. Not so much fear as anger/disgust
I have no idea what I will be doing for the holidays this year. It used to be Thanksgiving with my parents and Christmas with in-laws. Then Mr. RFH’s sister passed away two days before Thanksgiving, and we ended up driving to both places for Christmas, which I won’t do again (famous last words). I have no idea what my stepmom’s traditions might be.
I have no idea what I will be doing for the holidays this year.
Easy solution — get pregnant and have children. Then, you have hostages with which you can force the doting grandparents to come to you at your bidding, while you relax for the holidays.
I mean, I was sick to death of traveling on holidays, until we had kids and said no. I made it clear (to Cathy’s Mom in particular) that we were having our own family holiday at home.
I think, after 6 hours of scans, reboots, and registry edits, that I have finally gotten the fucking Security Suite virus off my computer. I want to kick that hacker in the nuts so hard, his grandchildren feel it. Now to wipe hostage stuff from my son’s computer…
Sean, I don’t envy people who have to fly all the time. Portland, ME is the worst I’ve been through in terms of security lines, bad attitudes, and pat-downs. Buy me a drink first, fer cryin’ out loud.
It is also, by the way, a small but significant step forward in the adolescent unbonding process with your parents that helps to complete the adult psyche.
You have never had to take your shoes off to get through security. You have not had to display your mini-versions of toothpaste and deodorant in a clear plastic bag. You have never been the victim of a random carry-on baggage search where your inflatable plastic female companion was hauled out in public view while you stood by looking sheepish.
It is also, by the way, a small but significant step forward in the adolescent unbonding process with your parents that helps to complete the adult psyche.
Hey, thanks! Maybe now I can stop wetting the bed!
Michael, who is going to drive them the hour to the nearest airport? And haul suitcases for them, because they can’t lift anything heavy any more? We are trying to move them closer to *somebody*, but it’s not easy.
I mean, RFH, think about it. Lots of people in their 80′s are sharp as a tack and can cope just fine with travel, if they don’t have some actual physical infirmity like Alzheimers.
It’s just easier for them to play the “helpless geezer” card. You don’t want to enable that.
Romy, if you take anything I say at H2 seriously, you are making a mistake. Most people here sorta understand my deadpan sense of wry humor, but maybe you do not.
Sigh. Read the thread. Still not sleepy. Been up since 2. Cleaned the bathroom. straightened the pantry…
My girl’s games from today have me up. The team is … horrible. This one play keeps going through my head. Erin is in good position to score but her one ballhog team mate keeps trying to steal the ball from her. Finally, the ballhog gets between Erin and the goal (erin is RIGHT AT THE GOAL). Honestly, that girl couldn’t have done a better job of blocking her shot if she tried.
It was unbelievable. I’ve been going through the scenarios in my head how to talk to her coach about this.
The girl is a black hole with the ball. NEVER passes. She was on a team with Erin last year – when they were in a rec league. But this is travel. She’s supposed to KNOW.
Erin is a great passer – she’s assisted (in the past, NOT NOW) her team mates with great scoring.
But this girl doesn’t get open. She just chases down the ball and tries to steal it.
I swears. Imma gonna go off.
One more game today in Lansing . Erin and Ethan – 8 am. Two games yesterday (each kid) so I was gone all day. I have to be “up” in an hour and a half. I’ve gotten about four hours of sleep.
this is gonna suck. I was hoping for an afternoon run after this horrible weekend.

Beasn, I have hard water, too. If it’s calcium, filtering alone won’t remove it. I put in a reverse osmosis faucet at the kitchen sink after I had a kidney stone. Mother of God, those things hurt.
But a Brita filter or something like that is better than nothing.
George is lucky to have a mom like you, Beasn.
beasn cares. That makes me smile.
roamy, did it hurt rolling around in there or did it hurt more when it wanted out?
Will have to think about the reverse osmosis thing. I was going to buy one of those pitchers with a filter.
So, I watched the first Resident Evil movie last night.
Pretty good. Mostly a style thing, not really plot. But it was pretty well executed. Much better than most video game movies. And even though I’ve never played the video game, you can tell it stuck pretty closely to the game.

Hi, Texas folk. Ms Clintbird and I are thinking about a long weekend in San Antonio over Thanksgiving. I haven’t been there in awhile, so I’m fishing for recommendations. Other than the obvious chain choices, what would be a nice, affordable river walk hotel we might want to stay in?
Hot damn. Cal has scored 52 points in each of its first two games. I can’t wait for the inevitable late season collapse!
I like to watch the games on tv, but don’t have any interest in going. Lived here 33 years and have been to one game.
However, I took a tour of the stadium renovations recently, and ZOMG.
Top to bottom:
Michigan, Notre Dame
My bride and I will be in San Anton for a week in mid-Oct. so any restaurant recommendations would be appreciated.
MOM!!! BRUCE IS LINKING GAY PORN!!!!
First of all, don’t say San Antone in San Antonio. You will sound like a tourist.
I will be a tourist.
Locals in San Francisco call it “The City” and get annoyed if you call it “Frisco.” I recommend saying “Frisco” as often as possible while you’re there.
I figure my accent will give me away, but if they didn’t like tourists, they wouldn’t have a river walk.
I recommend that if you go to ‘Frisco, you punch a hippie in the face.

Of course, you gotta eat Tex-Mex. San Antonio also has great BBQ, but you can get that anywhere. You should eat as much Tex-Mex as you can stand.

Ohio put on a pretty convincing show with Miami today. Much as I hate them, it’s nice to see them whup a non-conference ranked team.
The only reason I’m hoping for that is because West Virginia barely beat Marshall.
I have sweated my ass off along the river walk in San Antonio twice.
While it is very nice, I will do what I do in Key West when people wish to walk along Duval street.
Find a nice air conditioned bar with a view, and tell the womens to meet me here in x hours.
Thanks, Michael. I don’t care so much about cheap, as I do: good food, good staff, and atmosphere.
Actually Hotbride and I have this really lucky ability to find the best local places. We’ll be there a week, so loads of time to research.
I figure my accent will give me away, but if they didn’t like tourists, they wouldn’t have a river walk.
It’s a very friendly town. If you embarrass yourself by saying San Antone, they will not blink an eye. I’m just trying to be helpful.
Also, if you happen to take in a Spurs game, do NOT yell “Go Spurs!”
The acceptable yell is “GO SPURS GO!!!”
“Actually Hotbride and I have this really lucky ability to find the best local places.”
Gay people know where all the best restaurants are. See if you can find some fat gay people, they will know for sure.
I don’t care so much about cheap, as I do: good food, good staff, and atmosphere.
Don’t rule out the Blanco just because it is cheap. It’s a slice of life.
Is there a place called Briscos or Briskys BBQ there?
Clintbird, HS, here is a decent, free, scalable map of the RiverWalk.

There are so many hotel and restaurant choices, it’s hard to choose.

I stayed there Dave,
The parking was abysmal, but they all look the same when you are asleep.
Scott, I had every intention in the world of being there for the meat up at Michael’s and Cathy’s, then this fucking ASTM conference shit on my plans. Hotbride was looking forward to meeting you all, and I wanted a reprise of sorts of CT.
One can only guess what happened the next day…
http://i.imgur.com/iv4lg.jpg
I am still hoping against hope that I can make the Texas meet up. But I am still broke and it is September.
I might have a few good weeks next week.
The taxes are 95% done and I am home alone.
Let’s Dance.
Hi Cyn!
I have learned the Salsa, lets go!
Hey V, does this look infected to you?

I will not be able to attend Tejas meat up after all.
My mom is going in for surgery one step down from Patty Ann’s that Monday. Sorry you’ve lost a car buddy Brad.
*starts twisting the night awayayyy*
Okay, Cyn…

Oh, Cyn’s home alone.
**peeks through window**
Lookin’ good, baby!
The Salsa…it’s been a while since I’ve done that…you’ll lead right?!
Crap, Cyn. Between your mom and mine, neither of us might make it.
**pouts**
**taps on window with sippycup**
You have red shoes SeamN? Hot damn!
Me and you Cyn

Your pencils will be there Cyn.

Thanks for the video Vman. I remember that now! I used to teach dancing.
And yes, I know the man always leads, but sometimes we women havta back lead just a pinch.
Hahaha
I have two of those pencils.
>> Let’s Dance.
I was practicing a fandango. Interested?

Thanks for bringing those Scott. I’m really bummed that I cannot be there. I will miss you all that I have met and sad that I won’t get to meet more Hotages.

Oooo…fandano. That’s hawt.
Cyn, what color skin are you wearing right now?
Scott, that happened to me in a thunderstorm in 1988.
Cyn, I was practicing that for YOU.
You have to come here.
Nude.
Did you really get ‘lectrified Dave? That’s scary.
Unless you weren’t hurt then it would be fookin’ awesome, especially if you were playing a wicked tune. I’d throw an undergarment for that.
Oooo…fandano. That’s hawt.
Awright, since you’re a fan…

I loved the hounds Puppy! Thank you. I now have puppy breath all over me–yay!
heheheheh…busted with a funny for my spelling error. Perfect Sean!
Who wants to come over and finish all this shredding I have to do? And then will you make me dinner? No wait; dinner first and then you can shred for me.
All I can say is that the folks in Texas are really gonna be missing out.
Ms. Cyn is a hoot to hang with.
Boston tomorrow. Sacrificing day one of the NFL for work.
You are so hot Cyn!
Thank you for dancing with me!
Give Mr Cyn my regards. I bid you Adeu
You’re a kick in the pants too, Brad. I still have that recliner chair in my office iffin you should happen by
>> Did you really get ‘lectrified Dave? That’s scary.
Ungrounded microphone.. holding 120 v in my hands. My lips looked like Mick Jagger’s in a lightning strike.
I’d love to swing by and “shred some documents.”
Or even “watch Jaws” again.
You made me hot with your dancing Vmax! I’ll tell Mr. Cyn you said hello. He took our two boys to the ASU v. NAU football game with some tailgating to boot–rootbeers and pizza rolls don’t cha know!
OK, I got to play 9 holes of golf today with a thoroughly delightful gentleman, I had pork for dinner and am now quite relaxed (although I could use a drink).
My lips looked like Mick Jagger’s in a lightning strike.
HAHA!
*pees a little while laughing out loud*
Ahem, I mean, that’s aweful to hear Dave. I’m glad it wasn’t serious.
Good night all,
I have that evil dog Princess again,while she is good she is a very dominate female.
I need to curb her ambition.
Again.
Zeke and Bear are not ambitious, and letting her be alpha.
I am alpha, she can kiss my ass!
And Zeke’s and Bear’s also.
buth math lipths!!!
Sounds nice, MCPO! You should have a drink though; it’s good to keep hydrated so you don’t get lactic acid buildup in your muscles. Yup.
Cyn – I’m still in Phase I of SoBe.
Watching Penn State – ‘Bama tonight reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQLTekcur-E
How did we get saddled with this fucking idiot?
Have a great evening Vmax. You put that Missy Prissy Cissy in her place! And how crappy that YOU had to go pick her up; they were the ones that unadopted her!
*pours a shot of Jack*
Have a drink on me!
For the record, it is not really my intention to be uittering lines from songs this evening. Really.
How did we get saddled with this fucking idiot?
The MFM and a lazy electorate that did not take the time to inform themselves of Barry’s total lack of any redeeming feature beyond the happenstance of his parentage.
Brad–we need to think about a Wester Meatup down the road when our mom’s are back on the right tracks.
*pours a shot of Jack*
Thanks Cyn,
I needed that!
It was only 1 hour down and 1 hour back.
Zeke and Bear remember her. She was gone 2 weeks?
Have a drink on me!
**makes a list of all the people I’d kill in order to do a belly shot off of Cyn**
**gives up and just uses the US Census instead**
Will one drink really throw the diet, Chief??
Cyn, I think the Western meatup sounds good, but your hubby is probably tired of me hanging out at your place.
Let’s crash Lipstick’s place in Vegas.
Vmax. I had a dog that never gave up the “dominate thing” until one day when I lost my temper. I threw him on his back and bit his neck, he screamed and it was over.
He accepted the number 2 position and continued to be an asshole to my ex-wife.
I have NO DOUBT that they remember Cissy, Vman! They fought each other and hurt you (which I know that they felt badly about).
…continued to be an asshole to my ex-wife.
Good doggy.
Fluids are important MCPO.
Scott, I had to do that exact thing to my dog too after Son Number One was born! Buddy thought that the baby was his.
Vegas
I’m all in
I don’t think I ever thought to ask…
Did one of the dogs eat Vmax’s thumb, or just bite it off?
Getting bitten is one thing, but…
I mean, could you really keep a dog that tried to eat you?
Scott – I’m drinking about 4 quarts of water a day. It ain’t the hydrating I’m missing, it’s the Yuengling and Jameson.
Stay strong, MCPO.
“Good doggy.” He was such a prick. I have a vivid memory of him running up the stairs, biting her in the belly and running back down as fast as he could.
I laughed my ass off.
He was a Lab, and at about 3 years of age turned into the nicest dog.
Wrong fluids Chief.
Whiskey has carbs?
Welp, I don’t see any of you jumping up to cook my chicken for a teriyaki bowl with egg rolls on the side.
Brad–call me while I cook or are you headed out of the clubhouse?
Which number? Home, office, cell, private chat line, the 976 number?
Home.
I am certain that Brad would be willing to “cook your chicken”.

BiW,
Amazon delivered the ‘Macgruder Study Bible’ today! It rocks! Thank you for tipping me to it. It is very cool. I love the notes!
Phase 1 sucks.
Meh, so does MCPO.
I didn’t mind not having booze on the ship. I was busy, worked 16-18 hours a day and drank cups of black coffee from the time I got up until just before I passed out.
Does phase two include hookers and blow?
G’night all.

Meh, so does MCPO.
Yet oddly, you are the one dating trannys.
DinT – Tell me I can have booze in phase II and III.
MOM!!! DAVE’S CHOKING CHICKENS AGAIN!!!
Drove 75 min thru fog so thick last night you could see about three of the dashed lane lines ahead of you, and couldn’t see the mile markers on the side. To the fucking truckers still doing 65mph+ I’d buy your assertion that you possess supersekrit-seeing-thru-fog abilities if you didn’t damned near fucking sideswipe me.
Tatts – They slowed down to 65?!? How considerate! /sarc
a little wine Chief. That’s it.
Yeah, I guess I should be pretty grateful. Most of that chunk of interstate is under nasty construction and the speed limit is 65.
a little wine Chief. That’s it.
There’ll be more than a little whine, believe you me!
hahahaha.. no booze. Sorry. Empty carbs.
Course, when I was in CT, I took a break from it.

It was serious. Permanent brain damage.
You haven’t noticed?
Nighty night Andy.

Hadn’t noticed much, Micheal. I think we’re all a bit touched!

Hadn’t noticed much, Micheal.
Ever notice that when a comment thread gets serious and requires some intellectual effort, Dave says “I like pie”?
Do the math. That electrical jolt took a horrible toll on our pal Dave. I feel awful about it.
Sorry to hear you can’t make it Cyn. Totally understand. Family comes first.
Is it okay if I like pie too, Batman? A slice of peach with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream would be lovely right now.
I will miss you Cathy!!
I insist that being in a room struck by lightning is what made my IQ jump to 67.
I insist that being in a room struck by lightning is what made my IQ jump to 67.
I believe you.
Once when I was about 9, we had lighting strike a very large but dead tree in our back yard. Very scary. The tree stayed up, but the lightning had spiraled around the tree to the bottom. Where the lightning had stripped the bark, and even a little deeper, it was smooth as a baby’s butt. My IQ shot up to 198.
My IQ shot up to 198.
And shortly after that, you got boobs!!!
I will miss you too Michael.
Come to think of it…I DID get boobs after that!! I’ll be damned. Never made that connection.
Michael – I suspect that the incident accounts for my unwillingness to play any more golf at the sound of the first thunderclap as well.

Gives Cyn “the passenger”
That’s OK, Cyn. I’ll just savor the memory of the great squishy hug I got in CT.
Hey, I can see the back of Brass Pair’s head.
Are you at the game Will??!
Chief, I suspect that God invented lighting to thin out the ranks of stupid golfers.
I’m about 5 rows back from where’s sitting. The 3G is pretty bad in here right now.
Are ya’ll playing ” Iron chef” again?
Will! Why aren’t you texting me? Is it because I said I was already sick of football?
Will—I just called him to let him know you are there a few rows behind him!
We just had this huge storm here and the Cattery flooded! I have been mopping for hrs. The power just came on and the cam just came up again and all the kittens were looking stupid because seconds before it was pitch black! I really thought we were going to have a twister..
txts Peelie about football.
I suspect that God invented lighting to thin out the ranks of stupid golfers.
HAHAHAHA! You wouldn’t believe how many we had to chase of the course when I worked at the club. Either brain-dead or had a serious death wish.

*facepalm*
Mrs. Peel, don’t start acting emotionally needy until AFTER you are married.

Either brain-dead or had a serious death wish.
I think the sport is just uniquely addictive, mostly because it is primarily a head game. It was invented by Satan, I think.
wow.. Michigan got lucky again.
Michael, it was a joke. You really need to get your humor detector recalibrated. I can’t count the number of times you’ve taken me seriously when I was clearly being facetious.
Seriously, golf is partly you against other golfers, partly you against the course designer, and mostly you against the kids who picked on you in high school.
I can’t count the number of times you’ve taken me seriously when I was clearly being facetious.
Erm, no. You really can’t count the number of times I was being facetious in response to you being facetious.
also, Dave can suck a fat one
Nobody asked me, but I really do like to eat the pork ribs at The County Line BBQ on the riverwalk in San Anonio. Stay the fuck away from Bill Miller’s BBQ while you’re there. It’ll ruin you on BBQ for a year or so.
Catman, looks like it tired those poor lil kitties out!
What are the odds of Brass Pair and Will ending up so close together at the game?
>> also, Dave can suck a fat one
*kicks your last leg out from under ya
dont worry Dave, she was only being facetious……or felatious……one of those big words.
heh, no she wasn’t either.. I pissed her cute little self off.
I do that.
Hey PG
Was Miller’s that good or that bad…?
Anyway, I’ve been super tired for the last 5 hours, which is why I don’t like shopping with my mom, so I’m off to bed. Y’all enjoy your collective evening.
Bill Miller’s BBQ? Aack!! *spit* *spit*
wow.. Michigan got lucky again.
Peel and I agree — you can suck a fat one.
Are you really proud of the fact that Texas thumped Wyoming Community Junior College while Michigan pulled a clutch victory against Notre Dame out of their ass?
I like the word, “facetious” almost as much as, “serendipity”.
Oh, Michael, did Michigan State bite it?
Bill Miller’s is horrid. I have no fucking idea how they stay in business. It’s like eating BBQ at an elementary school cafeteria in the projects.
I’ve always liked “specious”.
And supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Why are perfectly good Texans getting all pissy defending some fucking yankee school?
Synchronicity.
Actually, I think we figured out at the last meat-up that our seats were surprisingly close without even knowing it.
Bill Miller’s has one virtue — lots of food dirt cheap. It’s the Taco Bell of BBQ.
In other words, don’t go there for good BBQ, Pendejo and PattyAnn are correct about this.
Unless you only have about $3 left to feed yourself before you bed down under a bridge.
*gives PA the business
I always liked the word “slutty”. It was another way of saying I had a chance.
*PA keeps Dave’s business ’cause she needs it*
*hands Cyn choco brownie with van. bean ice cream on it. Sorry about the no peaches thingy.*
PG – Is this one of your favorite songs?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu_diXDbgug
Well… I went off to read the comments.. It is universally hated except for the value.
I was wondering, because we in GA are not exactly pikers when it comes to barbecue. Although we do stick to the superior meat- the luscious and tasty pig! (sorry Beasn!)
Will–judging from the CBS Game Tracker, ASU is playing like shit!
The original County Line BBQ was just two stores in Austin, and their BBQ was revered.
They are now a franchise operation, and as such, have lost their panache, but the quality control is still good.
They’re definitely not playing like they should. People are already shouting for Threet to be benched.
Goodnight. I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Sweet Dreams Chief!
Thanks for letting me blow some steam.. I am off to bed also.
*squrits Dave and Cyn with Soy Sauce while going out the door..
Nighty night catman!
The original Hard Rock Cafe, by the way, was a single store in London with a unique concept — sell American food (burgers, apple pie) and decorate with rock memorabilia.
British rock stars started showing up to get the food they enjoyed while on tour in America. The place became super-cool; there were lines to get in. They opened a private club downstairs so they could continue to cater to the rock stars and celebrities. I’ve actually been there many years ago (and got the tee-shirt while it was still rare). Our English friend talked us into the private club. I was sitting in a booth right next to a framed set of guitar picks used by Roger Daltry (I think; it was somebody big).
Now it’s a global chain. There is a Hard Rock Cafe on the Riverwalk.
*peeks in*
There aren’t any apologists for the Religion of Pieces here, are there?
Michael, you’re taking good care of Cathy, right? It’s a little less fun when she’s too sick to really come out and play.
and to the hipster genX douchebags that cant resist moral relativism and snarky anti western smartass remarks about today,a really big ******* you – YOU of all people protected by the Constitution that you ridicule and dismiss as antiquated i really seriously hope you have your own personal encounter with islamic jihad.
I miss Colter’s BBQ.
The original Hard Rock Cafe, by the way, was a single store in London with a unique concept — sell American food (burgers, apple pie) and decorate with rock memorabilia.
Yeah, the one on Picadilly. 1983, Food was bland. I got a better burger at Burger King in Leicester Square.
Michael, you’re taking good care of Cathy, right? It’s a little less fun when she’s too sick to really come out and play.
Reluctantly, I have had to give her a couple of BiW 20-Second Hugs™, thanks to him shooting his fool mouth off about that at his blog. Seems to have worked. She’s feeling better. She’s bugging me about attending a new Bible class on 2nd Corinthians that starts tomorrow.
Made it through one more day.
Are we done talking about 9/11? I am watching this show that is making me so irate and it is a funny feeling b/c I realize every year we are going to do this and yet this is the first time so far that I have felt a deeper…MATURE, Anger. It is different from before. Not so much fear as anger/disgust
Hi, Sohos. We watched The Book of Eli tonight. Good movie! Thanks for the heads up about it.
Wasnt the ending worth it all?
Yes, it was. I loved the ending!
Sohos, have you erased your copy of the final episode of Lost yet?
No, I havent. I want to watch again
clintbird, are you coming to the TX meatup?
I knew it! Me neither. Can’t seem to bring myself to do that. I think I will watch it one more time (that will be time #4 I believe) thene erase it.
You don’t think people will think us fanatics, do you?
I don’t think so, Roamy.
maybe a lil’ but I dont care
But we’re thinking about staying in San Antonio Thanksgiving weekend, Roamy.
I have no idea what I will be doing for the holidays this year. It used to be Thanksgiving with my parents and Christmas with in-laws. Then Mr. RFH’s sister passed away two days before Thanksgiving, and we ended up driving to both places for Christmas, which I won’t do again (famous last words). I have no idea what my stepmom’s traditions might be.
Hey, thanks for the tip. I just put The Book of Eli at they top of my NetFlix queue. They have it in Blu-Ray.
it is a great story. My favorite part is when he tells the guy NOT to touch him again…
going to bed good night
I have no idea what I will be doing for the holidays this year.
Easy solution — get pregnant and have children. Then, you have hostages with which you can force the doting grandparents to come to you at your bidding, while you relax for the holidays.
This works great. Trust me.
I mean, I was sick to death of traveling on holidays, until we had kids and said no. I made it clear (to Cathy’s Mom in particular) that we were having our own family holiday at home.
Worked like magic. They came to us.
Michael, that might have worked 10 years ago. D’oh!
**still snickering over Mr. RFH’s parents being labeled “doting”.
Der.
At least we don’t have to fly anywhere. That would suck big time.
I have not been in an airport since before 9/11.
I think, after 6 hours of scans, reboots, and registry edits, that I have finally gotten the fucking Security Suite virus off my computer. I want to kick that hacker in the nuts so hard, his grandchildren feel it. Now to wipe hostage stuff from my son’s computer…
Michael, that might have worked 10 years ago. D’oh!
Not too late. Try it. Just stay home and invite them to join you. It’s a no-loss game for you.
You can thank me in November.
Sean, I don’t envy people who have to fly all the time. Portland, ME is the worst I’ve been through in terms of security lines, bad attitudes, and pat-downs. Buy me a drink first, fer cryin’ out loud.
Michael, my in-laws don’t drive long distances any more. My FIL doesn’t drive at all, and that’s a good thing. (They are in their mid-80′s.)
It is also, by the way, a small but significant step forward in the adolescent unbonding process with your parents that helps to complete the adult psyche.
Sean, I don’t envy people who have to fly all the time.
I’m surprised that wiserbud never went on a killing spree.
(That we know of.)
Michael, my in-laws don’t drive long distances any more.
That is their problem. They can fly cheap on Southwest.
I have not been in an airport since before 9/11.
Wow, Sean.
You have never had to take your shoes off to get through security. You have not had to display your mini-versions of toothpaste and deodorant in a clear plastic bag. You have never been the victim of a random carry-on baggage search where your inflatable plastic female companion was hauled out in public view while you stood by looking sheepish.
I envy you.
It is also, by the way, a small but significant step forward in the adolescent unbonding process with your parents that helps to complete the adult psyche.
Hey, thanks! Maybe now I can stop wetting the bed!
Michael, who is going to drive them the hour to the nearest airport? And haul suitcases for them, because they can’t lift anything heavy any more? We are trying to move them closer to *somebody*, but it’s not easy.
I envy you.
On the one hand, I haven’t had to put up with any of those inconveniences. On the other, I haven’t been anywhere in years.
Michael . . . (etc.)
Not your problem, really. I’ll bet they can figure all that out for themselves, if they have to. Maybe not, but it’s worth a try.
Don’t fall for the “learned dependency” trap of elderly in-laws.
Maybe now I can stop wetting the bed!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Oh, you were serious? Sorry…
I mean, RFH, think about it. Lots of people in their 80′s are sharp as a tack and can cope just fine with travel, if they don’t have some actual physical infirmity like Alzheimers.
It’s just easier for them to play the “helpless geezer” card. You don’t want to enable that.
And, just be ready to give them the back of your hand when they try the guilt tactic. It’s childish, really.
If I do any of that crap with my kids, I hereby authorize anyone here to put a .45 slug in my brainpan.
**reconsiders going to TX meetup
**decides meeting Cathy and DiT are worth it
Hey, thanks! Maybe now I can stop wetting the bed!
Probably not. It’s pretty clear that you suffered emotional abuse by your opposite-sex parent. That’s tough, man, real tough.
Just get those adult diapers and sleep easy.
**reconsiders going to TX meetup
Romy, if you take anything I say at H2 seriously, you are making a mistake. Most people here sorta understand my deadpan sense of wry humor, but maybe you do not.
Just to be clear — do not take me seriously.
**decides meeting Cathy and DiT are worth it
*notices that someone is rather distinctly not mentioned*
Heh.
Most people here sorta understand my deadpan sense of wry humor, but maybe you do not.
Oh. Well, okay, then. Carry on.
Michael, I am pulling your leg, too. Someone needs to haze you occasionally.
I’m looking forward to the meetup.
Just get those adult diapers and sleep easy.
Sleeping is the easy part. It’s the laundry that’s a bitch.
What’s the song on this? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d2b_1284140953
I tried searching on the lyrics, with no luck
all right, good night, peoples.
Wakey wakey!!!!
WTF? I thought this place was hopping at night???
I’ve been mislead.
Sigh. Read the thread. Still not sleepy. Been up since 2. Cleaned the bathroom. straightened the pantry…
My girl’s games from today have me up. The team is … horrible. This one play keeps going through my head. Erin is in good position to score but her one ballhog team mate keeps trying to steal the ball from her. Finally, the ballhog gets between Erin and the goal (erin is RIGHT AT THE GOAL). Honestly, that girl couldn’t have done a better job of blocking her shot if she tried.
It was unbelievable. I’ve been going through the scenarios in my head how to talk to her coach about this.
The girl is a black hole with the ball. NEVER passes. She was on a team with Erin last year – when they were in a rec league. But this is travel. She’s supposed to KNOW.
Erin is a great passer – she’s assisted (in the past, NOT NOW) her team mates with great scoring.
But this girl doesn’t get open. She just chases down the ball and tries to steal it.
I swears. Imma gonna go off.
One more game today in Lansing . Erin and Ethan – 8 am. Two games yesterday (each kid) so I was gone all day. I have to be “up” in an hour and a half. I’ve gotten about four hours of sleep.
this is gonna suck. I was hoping for an afternoon run after this horrible weekend.
[scratches weeping rash]
Where’s wiser with that extra finger for scratching when I need him?
[wanders off looking for cladryl]
*passes ball to C arin*
shit……..this is pathetic…….
New poat.
