  1. Do I smell lasagne?

  2. I think I’d rather have a TV hat.

  3. Yes, but only for reindeers apparently.

  4. Redskins are getting pity calls now.

  5. I really dislike both of these teams, but wish the Redskins would at least look like they want to play football.

  6. Total bummer…

    You can still buy streamers for your three-piston ass hammer, though.

    Only in America can you make your sex toy look like your bike when you were in second grade.

  7. Meh. The real game’s being played tomorrow night.

  8. Just finished last poat –

    HM, sorry about your friend. Please accept our family’s sincerest condolences.

    Tats – SO glad that your mom didn’t have a stroke. Bell’s palsy is usually reversible, if I recall correctly – it’s scary as heck, but it tends to go away after a while. A girl in high school got it, and I think she was better within 6 months or so. Since that was over 30 years ago, I’m assuming medical science has come a long way since then.

    I must’ve missed the TV hat link –

    I’m working on the family Christmas newsletter. Being as computer illiterate as I am, I still haven’t figured out how to convert a Word document to a webpage. I also have zero confidence in my Publishing ability, so I shamelessly copy templates from Microsoft and substitute my own verbiage. That sets up all other sorts of problems, but that’s another story…..

  9. Teresa, save as html.

  10. Speaking of our family newsletter:

    If any of you morons would like a copy, let me know. I can send an electronic copy or a snail mail copy when I finally get the darn thing completed. A lot of people on our Christmas list like to get a hard copy, and I enjoy sending them out that way (I’m a traditional girl…..). Just shoot me an e-mail at kochs at airmail dot net with your e-mail address and/or mailing address. I will try and post it on my FB page as well, but I have to figure out how to convert it to a webpage first –

  11. TiFW, when you save a word doc, you should be able to “save as” in HTML format.

  12. Hyper Text Machine Language?!

    SkyNet has taken over!!

  13. Meh, Skynet can’t be much worse than what we’ve got now.

  14. Rosetta, are you thinking those fiberglass whip antennas with the orange flag that I had tied onto one of the support posts of the banana seat?

    What the hell are you talking about, scumbag?

  15. I’m wearing my new t-shirt (see previous thead), chili is made, bread is baking.

    Workout in a bed.

    Coasting for the rest of the day.

  16. Ha ha ha …

    Workout in a BIT.

    But, have fun with that anyway.

  17. Workout in a bed.

    Hmmm,hmmm.

  18. Catholic midget porn.

    Are you going to get the low power FM transmitter as well?

  24. I heard that song on the radio while I was running errands and was just looking for a good YouToob of it.

    The light show is full of win, but, unfortunately, also full of divorce.

  25. One of my favorite Christmas tunes.

  26. I love that Waitresses’ song.

    You should sync up your Christmas lights to this song:

  29. Hey, this looks like a nice place to start my concert:

  30. Spent most of the last few hours outside. It’s kind of cold out there, finally.

    May even get a little snow on Friday.

  31. Hey, Rosetta!!!

    Watcha doing????

  32. Andy – We’re getting lake effect flurries, wind is about 15 -18mph NNW and it’s frigging c-o-l-d!!!!

  33. Chief. Related?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr0gNJ090JA

  34. Who are these tools calling the Bengals/Saints game? They’re idiots.

  35. It is a little chilly here, but generally cloudy and poopy looking outside.

  36. We’re supposed to be getting ~50mph gusts here tomorrow with temps in the 40s.

    I thought I left Chicago.

  37. This is the epitome of crap. . .

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hlWlPmGVrs&feature=related

  38. And here we go … my little guy sitting next to me on one side, a glass of wine on the other and the Cowboys on the tube.

    Oh, and the womenfolk are nowhere to be found.

  39. Windchill is currently 26F

  40. 57 — was 77 yesterday.

  41. Can Indy stop the run??

  42. Pretty ticked off. Making pizza dough and just noticed that I ran out of wheat gluten to add to the flour. Must have used it all up last time.

    Extra gluten is what makes it chewy and crusty and good.
    No gluten? Might as well put a bullet in my head.

  43. We’re at 33 air temp. Probably about the same as you with the little breeze out there.

    Plus it’s about to be pitch black outside.

  44. Andy, is the train running around the tree? If so, I’d say life is good.

  45. Can the Cowboys keep from beating themselves by doing stupid shit?

    Although that first drive looked damned good.

  46. The train is currently idle; however, it has gone about another scale mile today.

    This is the first year my little guy has shown any interest in it at all, but he’s liking it.

    Speaking of trains, I’d like to get back out to the Living Desert and see this awesome layout again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjOPjOJkN-M

  47. *New Business Idea*

    H2 Gluten Exchange (HGX)

  48. Watcha doing????

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwnAbN5sXHs

    Hahahahaha. Sexy.

  49. Andy, lemme know your schedule. I’ve seen that a few times, and it’s really cool. I’d like to see it again, jut not the rest of the Living Desert.

  50. H2 Gluten Exchange (HGX)

    Hahahahahahaha!! Good one.

  51. I also want to see the revamped train at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

  52. Loved my Lionel trains as a kid.

  53. Edward Glutenhands

  54. LauraW – I’ve got half a box. How much do you need?

  55. Yeah, that’s definitely the best thing there. The coolest thing is that it’s outside … you can do that when you don’t get any rain to speak of.

  56. Well, we can go there, and then get stinking drunk at The Tilted Kilt and give Mrs. Andy a real reason to divorce you.

  57. I really do love pulling that train out every year and setting it up. The only thing that would make it better would be having some of the cars or pieces of track from the one I had as a kid.

  58. Sweet! I’m sure she has the papers ready and just needs to fill in the blank.

  59. Off to attend to real world stuff.

    Someone make with the funneh while I’m gone.

    Or set Dick on fire.

    Same diff….

  60. My nephew has my train from 1956. It’s a Lionel, and it’s awesome.

  61. Sweet! Next time I’m in Georgia I’m going to see if I can find any remnants of mine.

    I think I’m officially getting old, because I’m starting to get nostalgic for stuff like this.

  62. Your son looks like he’s just getting to the right age.

    Most dads get them for kids that are too young because they won’t admit to their bride that the train is really for him.

    Hahaha

  63. Who the hell are these guys playing the Colts today?

  64. I think the name starts with a D. Detroit?

  65. Yeah, they’re looking pretty good.

    It doesn’t say much about the players, since it’s pretty clear they just gave up on Wade Phillips.

  66. Yeah, I mean, at that level, everybody likes winning, and nobody likes losing. It depends a lot on whether you’re willing to blame yourself or blame everything else (other players, the coaches, etc.)

    I kinda feel like Romo the way I did Danny White. Both could put up good numbers, always seemed to lack that leadership intangible.

  67. Danny White!?

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  68. I know, you’d have to be a die-hard Cowboys fan to know it, so you get a pass, but White’s QB stats were solid. His problem was the curse, or whatever, I call it “they think you’re a dick”, he couldn’t win the big one. He was surrounded by good talent, but you have to have more in the playoffs and he didn’t.

    Look at how many times he got em there though.

    Romo, kinda same same to me.

  69. Good observation, Dave.

    The Cowboys have had 2 quarterbacks.

  70. I think it’s genetic Dave, some people are born with the loser gene.

    Roman Gabriel, Jim Kelly, and Fran Tarkenton were all born with it.

    Then you get guys that are mediocre that get to the big game, like Phil Simms, and they become the MVP.

  71. HA! Oakland is spanking San Diego.

  72. Dick, I’m probably over simplifying the comparison, I agree, Romo hasn’t quite reached that point. Didn’t help we had a couple of jackass receivers bitching about him.

    And yeah, Kitna, doin all right.

  73. Scott – Don’t forget Norman Snead. Rifle for an arm. Good talent when he played for the Giants and the Eagles. Huge numbers and. . . nothing.

  74. Some guys just found a way to win too. They had guts, and heart. Montana, Bradshaw, Young, Stabler, Staubach. Kilmer, et.al.

  75. Hey guys, she’s single!!!

  76. Dallas just showed up on the field.

  77. Chickenshit. Coulda been first and ten.

  78. Mesa – Plan on moving back to Michigan??

  79. Nope.

  80. Looks like Tiger is back.

  81. Yeah, right. Celebrities should just STFU and stick to the script.

  82. Damn, Manning’s got as many TD passes to the Cowboys’ DB’s as he does to his own receivers. Who the hell does he think he is, Vinny Testaverde?

  83. I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt, where is the cold front?!? Making goulash

  84. Who the hell does he think he is, Vinny Testaverde Brett Favre?

  98. Comment by Andy on December 5, 2010 4:21 pm

    Can the Cowboys keep from beating themselves by doing stupid shit?

    Mmmmm … hmmmm.

  99. Cowboys = ouch!

  100. A moron on Facechimp pointed out that the 18th amendment was repealed on this date in 1933.

    I’ll drink to that.

  101. What a tangled web we weave …

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/dec/03/wikileaks-us-manipulated-climate-accord

  102. What happened with the Saints today?

  103. That was fucking pathetic. They deserve to lose this game.

  104. Chief, the Nimitz coin you gave me is prominently featured on the Batcave Crap Tree, which you can see here.

  105. Saints beat the Bengals by 4.

  106. WOW!

    That was stupid, Colts.

  107. This may wind up as the most awesome goal line stand ever by the shittiest run defense in the NFL.

  108. Michael!!! And the the Batman nutcracker!!

    I’m honored!

  109. holy crap!!

  110. This sinus infection is rather persistent.

    Not to mention it hurts like a motherfucker.

    I blame Mare.

  111. Lucky bastards.

    That 2 point conversion was picture-perfect, though.

  112. Jim careys’s Christmas Carol is NOT for young children…good grief

  113. Wow, I had forgotten how ghey the Bucs’ old uniforms were.

  114. I’m a fan of the George C. Scott one myself.

    Although Reginald Owen did it respectably, as did Alistair Sim. Hell, even Patrick Stewart, a terrible actor, did ok.

    Then there’s the Muppets. And Bill Murray.

  115. You are correct Dick.

    They wouldn’t even have a prayer if Indy could win with a field goal.

  116. DinT – I’m an Alistair Sim man myself.

  117. BTW, you people suck.

    I asked for funneh, or setting Dick on fire, and you failed on both counts.

  118. Just wait, xbrad. Dick’s about to spontaneously combust.

  119. This sinus infection is rather persistent.

    Not to mention it hurts like a motherfucker.

    I blame Mare.

    I could stomp on your foot really hard and make you forget all about your head, Brad.

  120. Sim just embodied it. I think Scott just studied on him.

    GODDAMMIT. WHY CAN’T I JUST PICK AGAINST THE COWBOYS AND THEY DELIVER FOR SHIT?

    fuck. OT

  121. Indy can still cover!

  122. Yeah. I took it down, Dick.

    But I saved a copy to my hard drive.

  123. Thanks mcpo

  124. Indy runs back KO for a td.

  125. 17 to fucking 0 lead blown.

    Brilliant!

  126. Sohos, I need blackened shrimp tacos and a hug.

    Deal?

  127. Bitch.

  128. What’s the spread, Scott?

  129. Hello, Hostages!

  130. Hey, Roamy!

  131. Anything for you sweet Dave. Come on down

  132. Romacita!

  133. oh hell yes

  134. >> Anything for you sweet Dave. Come on down

    Darn. I might be the most fortunate man I know. I know a few guys too.

    INTERCEPTION

  135. Howdy Romy!

  136. While we’re waiting for the Cowgirls to lose … today I heard a radio ad from the USDA that was warning about the dangers of illegally imported foods.

    Let me get this straight … am I to believe it is the policy of the federal government to vigorously defend our farmers against foreign fish and fowl? But those streams of illegal FUCKING PEOPLE coming across the border … no problem.

    Made me want to choke a bitch.

  137. Rocketchick is here. NOW, its a party.

  138. Indy- 5.5. Not happening.

  139. Nope.

  140. The phrase “I’d rather be lucky than good” just got a new picture put beside it in the dictio… well, whatever book phrases are in.

  141. Ooh, now Falcons-Bucs. Gawd, those unis are ghey.

  142. I missed the ending, did the Lions win?

  143. Happy Birthday, Mr. Penniman!

  144. The whole RFH family worked at a school fundraiser today. $9K selling gift cards. That part went well – too bad we ran out of bagels and doughnuts.

  145. Fuck, Bears win again on a bad call. We wuz robbed!

  146. RFH, what was the fundage for?

    Also, well done!

  147. Nope. Detroit did what they do best.
    Is PA OK? Where is Cyn?

  148. Dave, it was for Mini-me’s school, one of the Catholic schools here.

  149. Yay! More holiday melodies:

  150. Alright, Secret Santa duties fulfilled.

    Hopefully Amazon* doesn’t fuck it up like they did last year.

    ,
    *OK, I guess I should have read their email more closely

  151. Andy, weren’t you my Santa last year? You didn’t fuck it up.

  152. Oh, but I did.

    The original order was backordered and I didn’t realize it. No harm, no foul though.

  153. Vmax and Mare made me put this one up:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L39lCgNN54A&feature=related

  154. That reminds me, that’s in the Christmas CD collection that I haven’t pulled out yet.

  155. >> Dave, it was for Mini-me’s school, one of the Catholic schools here.

    I’m such a harmless Baptist to the Catholic schools. I’da put my kids through em, had circumstances warranted.

  156. Dick, you had me worried for a moment…

  157. DinT – My Dad was an Orangeman from Belfast. . . all of his kids went to Catholic schools.

  158. I skimmed through Human Centipede last night. The best part of that movie was the trailer. It was utterly depressing. Hostel had a happier ending.

  159. Mrs. Andy’s been working on Linus and Lucy on the piano.

    Left hand – great
    Right hand – great
    Both at the same time – not quite there yet

  160. This game is gonna be a slobber knocker.

  161. Dave, this school is 1/3 Protestant.

  162. This looks like it could be a good way to get a partial chick flick credit without having to completely obliterate the man card:

    http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2768439065/

    Also, breaking news from Georgia … my childhood Lionel train was hiding in plain sight at my parents’ house. It will be making its way to Massachusetts shortly.

  163. >> DinT – My Dad was an Orangeman from Belfast. . . all of his kids went to Catholic schools.

    Wow. Well, kinda same sentiment then. Same thing RFH.

    Andy, my eldest completely owned Linus and Lucy, in her 7th year of lessons. One of my favorite memories, and one I didn’t capture on tape, dammit, was when she asked me to accompany her in her senior recital on bass.

    Also, fuck you Vince Guiraldi. That key was a bitch!

    bastich.

  164. Neat concept, but I’m not giving Matt Damon a single penny.

  165. Andy – It’s MattfuckingDamon!!

    As for the train, HOORAY for Mom & Dad!

  166. From the comments at clintbird’s 7:52 poat:

    Had that happened Mr Bard your Widow and Fatherless children would have been the losers.

    There are some seriously angry motherfucks out there. Besides just us.

  167. Started … and finished … a bottle of wine earlier.

    What’s that sound?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvNAHByKPM#t=0m42s

  168. Leon…why? You knew that would be just awful

  169. Sohos, after seeing the trailer, I just had to know how awful it’d be. Well I thought I had to know.

    I was wrong.

  170. My secret Santa won’t get mailed till tomorrow. I didn’t feel like leaving the house yesterday. I have complete and total trust in the USPS to make up for lost time.

  171. HAHAHAHA! Andy has a worse chance than Custer of surviving!

  172. Someone give me a good excuse to miss the school Christmas concert Thursday night. I love my daughter more than my life… but she is playing the recorder with 20 other kids. Fuck.

  173. I can’t even imagine. At first I thought the trailer was a joke

  174. PG, Baird was another one of these arrogant assholes who thought that he could show up to the townhalls and tell us how dumb we all are and the fucking he was giving us was for our own good. A marine showed up to one of them last summer and pwn’d his useless ass.

  175. Someone give me a good excuse to miss the school Christmas concert

    Your heart problems have affected your hearing. Now it is super-sensitive to sounds within the same range as the recorder.

  176. Roamy, mine has graduated to the flute.

    I’ve heard Feliz Navidad approximately 427 times this weekend.

    Shoot. Me. Now.

  177. Alright, Secret Santa duties fulfilled.

    We got Wiserbud, so we don’t actually have to do anything.

  178. Sohos.. how have I made it 2 months without a hug from you?

    *flops around on the floor, fish outta hugs.

  179. Someone give me a good excuse to miss the school Christmas concert

    1. You will go.

    2. You will have a hard time trying not to cry.

    Man up and do your duty.

  180. I keep trying to get you to come over

  181. Ooh, thanks for linking that BiW.

    I saw that a while back, but I didn’t realize it was the same douchenozzle congresscritter.

    Excellent.

  182. Andy, I played flute (this one time, at band camp…) and this was the one that made my dad snap.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TFrO8c_kVQ

    I think he volunteered for a double shift at the mill.

  183. I saw that a while back, but I didn’t realize it was the same douchenozzle congresscritter.

    Excellent.

    They’re all douchnozzles or cockholsters.

  184. I have been assured that the Secret Santa gift is boxed, gift wrapped, and en route. I love living in these times…..

    Hubs and DD#1 are watching the Dallas game that they taped while at the Down syndrome party this afternoon (my MG has been acting up, so I bowed out – may have to miss Becca’s school party tomorrow night as well). Since I already know how it ends, I’m anticipating much wailing and gnashing of teeth very shortly (the 4th Qtr hasn’t started yet).

    The HTML suggestion won’t work on the Family newsletter – the formatting screws up (it’s “premade”). Oh well, I’ll figure something out…..

    Andy, how exciting about your old train set! What fun you’re going to have –

  185. Roamy, I’m guessing you’re pretty much screwed when it comes to Mini Me’s concert.

    Dick, yeah, I know. I just needed to bitch about it.

  186. It’s based on a Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report) short story, Dick.

    Related?

  187. >> I keep trying to get you to come over

    I’m dumb. You knew that about me, right?

  188. I didn’t realize what a good singer Dave is. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBsIcRZBh3A

  189. Someone give me a good excuse to miss the school Christmas concert Thursday night.

    Mommy just had heart surgery and she needs to rest.

    I was going to suggest dropping her off, pretending you’ll be in the audience and then running out to do errands, but then you’d have to get dressed and put make-up on.

  191. ok guys, I’ve been running errands all flippin’ day. We got up at 5:30am because the boys had a wrestling tournament. I get Garren up and he says, “I don’t feel so good.” I say, nah, you’re just tired because you’re up so early. PHLEEEEWWWWGH! He pukes all over the floor. I get his trash can and say Garren, if you have to puke again, here’s PHLEEEEEEEEWWWWGH! He did make it into the bucket, so that was good. PJD, picked up the bucket and moved it into the living room later so Garren would have it. Turns out there was a hole in the bucket. That was fun. Needless to say, we ditched the wrestling tournamet.

    I drove 45 minutes away to put money as a deposit down on a couch. I’m buying new ones because the other ones have been puked on SO many times, that if I clean them again, the material will tear. It’s been that weakened.

    I finally got my Christmas lights up after blowing two fuses and having to remove them off the fence because I put the female plug where the male plug is supposed to go. I’m tired, but I need someone to rub my feet before we go have some hot cocoa and watch Elf.

  192. ThePhilDick story I’d like to see made into a movie is “The Exit Door Leads In”, but “I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon” would be a good choice too, as would “Holy Quarrel”.

  193. Negative Dave!

  194. I keep trying to get you to come over

    I keep trying it with the Hostagettes, but I am having no success.

  195. Thanks for the update biw. That guy IS a Douche.

    Recorders, flutes, etc. Man I’m glad my girls are in college. But I have to brag a bit….daughter #2 was 7th chair all state on the trombone but rarely practiced at home.

    I wanted to and still do. Does that count for something?

    I can’t freaking get warm.

  204. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1335586/Liam-Neeson-upsets-Narnia-fans-claiming-Aslan-Mohammed-Christ.html?ITO=1490

    That ticks me right off!! Hey, Liam, you fake Irish Catholic douche. Aslan isn’t a pedophile so it can’t be Mohammed. ASSHOLE!

  205. Hi my friends!

    4 dogs are 2 many for 1 person. More pics to follow. (give me a min or 2)

  206. Beasn – Want to use the recliner next to the fireplace?

  207. Peej, that stomach bug is going around big time. Airborn.

    Mr. Beasn is watching a movie about Pearl Harbor….you know where we got payback for oppressing the world.

  208. PJ, why does your boy puke so much?

  209. Vmax. Clint linked a pretty cute “Christmas Dogs” video. You might have to make one with your posse.

  210. Chief, I would love to! Is there any way I can take both to work? I don’t think those fockers have the heat on, on our side of the store. I wore a camisole, a t-shirt, and a sweat shirt today and was still cold.

  211. MARE! Test 12b3c.

  212. Huh. So a celebrity said something stupid about religion? I’m shocked!

  213. SCOTT, Brett Farve’s penis got injured again today….after throwing an interception…..hahahahaha….Douche!

  214. Take a super hot bath and then put on a t-shirt, flannel jammies and socks. That will warm you right up. Also have a tequila shot 😉

  215. I swear, does Lexus really believe people give their spouses new cars for Christmas?

    I don’t think I’m going to make it through this month without Elvising my TV.

  216. Hey, Liam, you fake Irish Catholic douche. Aslan isn’t a pedophile so it can’t be Mohammed. ASSHOLE!

    HAHAHAHAHA

    Stupid assholes. And to think he played such a character as Rob Roy. DOUCHE!

  217. Pupster, was that commercial where it’s snowing and the new car is in the HOUSE?

    Now, one of those idiotic Cialis commercials is on. So Football + penis = limp?

  218. Big Ben broke his nose. The pervs are dropping like flies.

  219. Vmax, You need to get yourself a nice rich lady to help you walk the dogs. Or a poor one with big hooters.

  220. From the hometown paper: http://www.macon.com/2010/12/05/1365309/why-a-survivor-wears-the-cap.html

  221. The ravens look they are wearing running tights.

    I do like the Palamalou commercial for thick hair shampoo.

    And then I found $100.

  222. Every Kiss begins with

    BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMclickclickclick

  223. Pupster, what do you have against small hooters?

  224. Pupster, what do you have against small hooters?

    His nose, usually.

  225. Mr. Beasn is now watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Douche.

  226. PJ, why does your boy puke so much?

    Sorry. I forgot I left a comment. Got distracted.

    Gavin has some serious acid reflux and he yaks often. I can never tell whether he has a stomach bug, or is just having one of his little issues unless one of the other kids gets it. Garren just got it today. So, now I know I get to look forward to the other two getting it.

    I lead a charmed life.

  227. His nose, usually.

    HAHAHAAHA…….good one.

  228. >> And then I found $100.

    Inflation’s a bitch around here.

    Fucking Obama.

  229. >> flannel jammies and socks. That will warm you right up. Also have a tequila shot

    Hello.

  230. Ben needs a nose job and better depth perception.

  231. Liam also played Alfred Kinsey in the movie of the same name. Kinsey was not a good man. I was disgusted when I learned the things that man did in the name of “science”.
    People wrote to Liam asking him not to play in the movie.

    Kinsey collected data about how many times children could have orgasms. I don’t like world net daily much because sometimes they’re out there, but this stuff I learned in my psych class. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=213213

  232. Close.

    http://tinyurl.com/26hfxsp

  233. Andy, I thought that particular boringness needed extra cash.

  234. Oh, $20 plus an $80 tip.

    Got it.

  235. pjm, yeah Kinsey got his ‘data’ from pedophiles and homos .

  236. DSC_9251
    Ruby Bear and Honey

  237. Ruby, Zeke, and Bear
    DSC_9241

  238. pjm, yeah Kinsey got his ‘data’ from pedophiles and homos

    I couldn’t believe I was the only person that brought it up in my class. I was like, um, where did he get this info.? (this was long before the movie came out) And my teacher just shrugged her shoulders and said, “studies”

  239. Vmax, how is Ruby doing? Is she getting stronger?

  240. Liam Neeson was also in The Phantom Menace, which was a crime against humanity.

  241. And my teacher just shrugged her shoulders and said, “studies”

    Er…what studies, duh? Shrugging such a thing off. If I were teaching it, an essay question to my students would be, ‘please explain why Kinsey is a perverted motherf*cker’.

  242. I just think Ruby looks precious in your shirts, Vmax. The red looks good on her.

  243. Kinsey was a pig and so was his wife. Their theories are bullcrap, their data is criminal and Liam Neesom is a whore.

  244. Mare – Quit holding it in. It’s gonna make you ill.

  245. It seems wrong to sully Vmax’s precious pictures with talk of those sick assholes the Kinseys.

  246. Liam Neeson was in Taken.

    fucking awesome movie.

  247. Liam you are dead to me, much like your wife whom you obviously miss desperately since you had a girlfriend about nine months after her death (Lord knows who you were screwing before that).

  248. I liked Taken.

  249. FUCK WISErBUD!!!!!!

  250. why’d my stupid “r” do that?

  251. FUCK WISErBUD!!!!!!

    Line forms to the left, darlin’.

  252. Pupster, I did see that. Forwarded it to work, too. Thanks!

    Vmax, puppeh pics!!!!

    Mare, I always thought that The Last Battle in the Narnia series was Christianity versus Islam, especially with the liars in Calormene saying that their god was the same as Aslan.

  253. why’d my stupid “r” do that?

    because you are an r-tard, obviously.

  254. Fuck, Hines Ward. That’s why they pay you!

  255. TV HAT!

  256. You should get an old lazyboy for Gavin to sleep in PJM. I have acid reflux, and can only sleep at night in a chair when it flairs up. Also if he has his own chair to puke on maybe he’ll leave your couches alone.

  257. ROAMY…….YES……EXACTLY!!!!

    C.S. Lewid would be rolling in his grave (if he wasn’t in Heaven) over Liam’s remarks.

    Lewis knew there was good and evil, it existed in our world.

  258. TV HAT!

    Perfect for using in the park. That way you won’t see the gang of thugs walking towards you.

  259. “Fuck, Hines Ward. That’s why they pay you!”

    hahahahaha…..Good hands! It couldn’t have been thrown better.

  260. “FUCK WISErBUD!!!!!!”

    HAHAHAHAH…..PJM, you kill me.

  261. ok.. gonna head in early. Tomorrow’s gonna suck.

    You goofs be good.

  262. “C.S. Lewid”

    hahahahahaha……I’m a douche too. That looks like a Fruedian slip (he was also an ass).

  263. First team to 10 wins = Atlanta Falcons.

    Did I wake up in some alternate universe?

  264. Andy, yes, yes you did.

  265. Sweet dreams, Dave.

    Hope you don’t have to lay anyone off….that’s a hard gig.

  266. g’night Dave!

  267. Hey! It’s LauraW!

  268. Okay, I’m getting to the bottom of why I’m not losing weight, while watching football and goofing at the Hostages, I downed 1/2 a box of Pepper Jack flavored Cheez=its.

    Strange since it’s been about 20 years since I’ve eaten that kind of junk food.

  269. You should get an old lazyboy for Gavin to sleep in PJM. I have acid reflux, and can only sleep at night in a chair when it flairs up. Also if he has his own chair to puke on maybe he’ll leave your couches alone

    That is a GREAT idea! Seriously. I could get like a sick chair or something. I could also call it the dad chair when PJD is home, you know, to make him feel special.

    This could work. You’re brilliant pupster.

    awwwwwwwww, poor dave. I’m sorry for him tomorrow

  270. I downed 1/2 a box of Pepper Jack flavored Cheez=its.

    Strange since it’s been about 20 years since I’ve eaten that kind of junk food.

    Mare, didn’t anyone tell you not to smoke those hand-rolled “cigarettes” from pups?

  271. Me no smokey crazy weed.

    (I don’t even have that as an excuse.)

  272. Strange since it’s been about 20 years since I’ve eaten that kind of junk food.

    Yeaaaaah, but it sure tastes good don’t it?

  273. I’m going to make this for my Secret Santa recipient

    http://neat-and-pretty.livejournal.com/754222.html

    I sure hope they like it!

    POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!

  274. *eyes in-process bottle of Sam Adams*

    Hey mare, what are you doing with the rest of those Cheez-Its?

  275. “Yeaaaaah, but it sure tastes good don’t it?”

    YES!! While eating them it occurred to me (not kidding) how wrong it is of Nanny stater’s to ban such food. I have a right to eat crap if I want to.

  276. Andy, I’m happy to share. Plus, you worked hard today decorating.

    Question. Why did I buy these knowing it would not turn out well?

  277. Why did I buy these knowing it would not turn out well?

    B/c they taste so damned good.

  278. oops, nanny staters.

  279. Reaction of my secret Santa recipient after opening his/her gift: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LFprYLW3_U

  280. YES!! While eating them it occurred to me (not kidding) how wrong it is of Nanny stater’s to ban such food. I have a right to eat crap if I want to.

    I posted several comments about that today at Dpud’s. I love how soda machines and bake sales are banned, but you can drink red or blue syrup punch, eat a snickers bar and ice cream for lunch and have pop tarts and cocoa puffs served with chocolate milk.

  281. Mare- Nothing wrong with the occasional over-indulgence.

  282. Dinner tonight was Hungarian Goulash made by a real Hungarian, and the restaurant hostess/waitress was his smoking hot Hungarian wife.

    I didn’t find $20, but I also didn’t get stuck with the tab.

  283. Time for hot choclate and a movie!! Later skaterz!!

  284. MCPO, I like the way you think!

  285. Save me a cup of hot chocolate, PJ, or I’ll puke on your new sofa!

  286. Heh. Speaking of decorating … and there may even be a shot of this in the slideshow … Mrs. Andy has these glass containers in the kitchen bay window that she usually fills with red & green M&Ms, etc. for Christmas.

    This year she’s training for the Boston Marathon. Out: Delicious candy. In: Christmas ornaments, garland, and cookie cutters.

  287. Mare, wanna snuggle?

  288. Andy, I did notice those. I thought they were pretty. Does Mrs. Andy work outside the home?

  289. reaction of my SS recipient upon opening gift box:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdPlM6vvr3o

  290. “Mare, wanna snuggle?”

    With Puka but she’s with my Mom, so yes, xbrad, get the fluffy blanket.

  291. Yea, she works for Autism Speaks.

  292. No M&Ms?!?!?!

    What the hell is this country coming to?

  293. What the hell is this country coming to?

    Why the hell would anyone want to live longer?

  294. Andy, is that a full time job? 40 hours a week? If volunteering, I can imagine that as a 100 hour a week job.

    Those of you who volunteer will understand what I mean.

  295. I need to set up a private stash.

    It was always funny watching those “decorations” get drained.

    The orange and black gumdrops at Halloween are the best. We both like black licorice, so it’s a race to get all of them eaten, while the orange ones are barely touched.

  298. Yeah, it’s closer to 100 hours than 40. She works from home but also travels a lot.

    Plus she spends a lot of time working with volunteers who also have full-time jobs, so there are lots of after-dinner conference calls.

    Also, we live with this thing too, and it’s not like she gets that much of a break from work when she’s not actually working.

  299. Andy, seeing your children at the piano about sent me into an “empty nest” downward spiral. Piano Christmas concerts at the assisted living homes were great. Our teacher was fantastic and the concerts were enjoyable, not painful at all. I’d love to link a short (2:30 min) vid of the girls playing.

  300. She’s a good woman, Andy. Your family dynamic sounds like ours. Close and fun, although, of course, you have extra challenges that I don’t understand. But it’s still awesome…most of it. Right?

  302. Having a great discussion with old friends and neighbors about holidays of our youth on FaceChimp.

    On New Years, did all of your neighbors go out on the front porch, bang pots and pans and then sing Auld Lang Syne?

  303. WHERE THE FUCK DID I LEAVE THE FLUFFY BLANKET?!?!?!?

  304. What. The. Fuck? These guys had something more important to do?

    In each case, every Democratic senator voted, including the five, and then six, who voted with Republicans. But in one case, ten Republicans didn’t bother to vote, and in the other 11 Republicans didn’t vote. Here are the 11: Bunning, Burr, Chambliss, Cornyn, Gregg, Hutchison, Inhofe, Isakson, Sessions, Vitter, and Voinovich.

    http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2010/12/ten-republicans-duck-out-tax-vote

  305. What. The. Fuck? These guys had something more important to do?

    It’s always the same fucking names, isn’t it?

    Voinovich, Cornyn, Vitter….

    Primary each and every one of the fuckers.

  306. Ansy: further proof why I have no sympathy for the NRSC/RNC as they suddenly find out they are broke

  307. On New Years, did all of your neighbors go out on the front porch, bang pots and pans and then sing Auld Lang Syne?

    Never. Not once.

  308. Yes, it is.

    Wouldn’t trade even the hard parts.

  309. MCPO, honestly, we did. Wiser, are you that much younger than us? I’m 50, you just turned 50, you never did this when you were really young?

  310. I meant Andy

    Wiser: Voinobitch is retiring, Vitter just won reelection and Cornyn, the RINO fuckface who pushed for Charlie Crist over Rubio, can sit there and see the dwindling coffers and wonder what the fuck is going on and then get horsefucked.

  311. Georgia’s delegation (Chambliss and Isakson) is pissing me off, too.

    Especially Chambliss, who wouldn’t even be there if Palin hadn’t come and campaigned for him in 2008.

  312. we would bang pots and shoot off fireworks and then watch my uncle drunkenly fall down on the ice in the driveway

  313. you never did this when you were really young?

    Nope. Never.

  314. “… and Cornyn, the RINO fuckface who pushed for Charlie Crist over Rubio, can sit there and see the dwindling coffers and wonder what the fuck is going on and then get horsefucked.”

    Yes!!!

    Also, when will the republicans get that after the cornholing the dems got and will get later that, in fact, most of the voting American’s want a conservative (small, lower tax) government. And that they should vote that way and won’t have to cower for doing it.

  315. Pots & Pans? No.

    We shot guns.

    And it was even more fun when you could get your hands on some tracers.

  316. On New Years, did all of your neighbors go out on the front porch, bang pots and pans and then sing Auld Lang Syne

    Not since our family started the New Years tradition of shooting at loud noises…

  317. mare: yup. I am going to post something over at DPUD, since the mother ship seems to have, well, you know….

  318. WOW, those linemen for the Steelers are FAT.

  319. Also, when will the republicans get…..

    They are no longer in it for us. They are in it for themselves. You might as well ask these life-long leeches to vote themselves a pay-cut before they would vote to reduce their ability to control others lives through their spending.

  320. That was a nice 2nd down play there. Shame they ran it on 3rd down.

  321. You’re right, WIser and it’s depressing.

    Character. Honor. Honesty. Truth. Love of Country. HEY ASSHOLES, learn it!!

  322. I’ve been trying all day to come up with a joke about pulling a train on Andy, but I just can’t make with the funneh.

  323. No to worry, xbrad.

    You met expectations.

  324. I’ve been trying all day to come up with a joke about pulling a train on Andy,

    How DARE you even consider tarnishing a cherished childhood memory with your disgusting perversions.

    but I just can’t make with the funneh.

    Well, color me stunned.

  325. Andy: didn’t Chambliss have to do a runoff in 2008?

  326. To me, you are a weasel if you spend even one minute thinking about, writing, co-sponsoring or voting for a bill that deals with what food Americans are allowed to eat.

    Actually that goes for several topics.

  327. Also, we live with this thing too, and it’s not like she gets that much of a break from work when she’s not actually working.

    Sometimes, doing that volunteer work can make one feel like they are in control of one aspect of a condition that is usually “in control” of everything else. I’m sure your wife gets great satisfaction doing that!

  328. XBrad, you channeling Cranky?

  329. >> Andy: didn’t Chambliss have to do a runoff in 2008?

    Yes. And he credited his win to Palin coming in and firing up the base.

  330. I’ve been trying all day to come up with a joke about pulling a train on Andy….

    I know it’s wrong, but I was thinking the same thing when I read Andy’s comment – blame Mr. TiFW; I didn’t have a clue what that meant until he explained it to me many years ago……

  331. If I was a junior senator and a senior senator walked into my office and said, “Mare, let me tell you how this works, you’re going to need to vote “yes” on this and it’s going to seem like a compromise but we’ll be getting (…..fill in the blank) out of them later.”
    “Just do it and I hope to see you on the (….fill in the blank) committee meeting” *wink * wink.

    I’d say, slowly, calmly, “get out. I’m in this for one term unless I deem otherwise and I’m voting straight up conservative values, dam the outcome to my career and the manipulations of back door senate bs.”

  332. well, I might say, “get out, you old douche faced whore.”

  333. I think a simple “go fuck yourself” would suffice.

  334. Don’t you have to have a permanent home to run for the Senate?

  335. Roamy, I was pretty careful to use a different clip, but yeah, just a little Cranky thrown in. I’ve been missing him.

  336. Oh, gosh yes, it’s soooooo critical for Ray Lewis to get his shot at a Super Bowl ring before his career ends.

    He’s worked so hard since he skated on that murder rap.

  337. “Don’t you have to have a permanent home to run for the Senate?”

    Ouch. That ruins my dreams of calling Lindsey Graham a “old douche faced whore.”

  338. “Awfully wordy.”

    Maybe, but they’ve never heard that before. AND, I’d enjoy saying it.

  339. It’s a gots to go situation.

  340. mare:

  380. I very briefly spoke with PattyAnn Saturday morning. In addition to Ensure she also had been able to hold down some grits.

  381. Hey, I’m not the one who chose the restaurant.

  382. That’s really good news about your mom! Sigh of relief for the both of you I’m sure 🙂

  394. “I had some fully automatic burritos for dinner tonight. You might want to sit downwind. ”

    A diner appropriate to the theme of this poot, er, I mean poat.

  395. You might want to sit downwind.

    People who aren’t sociopaths normally recommend sitting upwind.

  396. Hey, Geoff, what’s shakin’?

    Pull my finger.

  397. So this poat which is essentially a fart joke/song has over 400 comments in the string. Speaks highly of the Hostages, methinks. *Inhales deeply and swells with pride.*

    *Gags and coughs because someone just unloaded somewhere in the room.*

    BiW???

  398. People who aren’t sociopaths normally recommend sitting upwind.&lt
    People who aren't sociopaths don't spend their Sunday nights in wretched hives of scum and villany.

    How did that one taste, by the way? I thought it had that vaguely unpleasant stale corn-chip aftertaste to it.

  399. At least she won’t complain about being cold tonight.

    In fact, after the methane overcomes her, I don’t think she’ll be complaining at all.

    Of course, she snores louder than I do…

  400. Hey, Geoff, what’s shakin’?

    I’m doing my time in Boston again. Tomorrow I take a little day trip to DC, and then I get to go home on Thursday night.

  401. Beantown, huh?

    **sits upwind of Geoff**

  402. Guess they shouldn’t have eaten at BiW;s tonight.

  404. Kilt it?

    **goes in search of Bean0**

  405. Turns out there was a hole in the bucket.

    OK, let’s be realistic about this.

    If you cannot manage life without a reliable puke bucket at hand, you are either hopelessly incompetent or Catholic.

  406. Michael, now that I’ve figured out how to do it, I’m putting in thumbnails, AND a slideshow of every Load HEAT hottie just for you.

  407. Why are you being so nice to Bruce all of a sudden? What’s he got on you?

  408. As a relatively new customer of Teh Hostages, LLC, I demand morning bewbage as a regular feature. I just can’t wake up without jugs.

    Mornin’.

  409. Sorry, Herr. All you get is a WAKEY WAKEY.

  410. Whatever was causing her constant nausea seems to have gone away.

    I’m just throwing it out there. Have you considered gluten?

  411. e bucket at hand, you are either hopelessly incompetent or Catholic.

    What if you’re an incompetent Catholic?

  412. What if you’re an incompetent Catholic?

    They’re called “Episcopalians”.

  413. Someone want to give me the Secret Santa rules? About what are we spending, and is anything off limits?

    And Hola, Carin

  414. Who knew one Anglican joke was fatal to a thread?

  415. As it was explained to me, the first rule of “Secret Santa” is “We don’t talk about Secret Santa”.

    The other rules are $20.00 max and mailed by Dec. 11. I know not of these “limits” of which you speak.

  416. and is anything off limits?

    No nips. Side boobs are ok, though.

  417. Thank you both. I shall conduct my affairs accordingly

  418. No nips

    Damn. That fight over the “Hustler Store” charge on the credit card was all in vain.

  419. Mornin’ all.

  420. No nips? You mean WordPress’s ToS apply to the Secret Santa exchange?

    *cancels order*

  421. Happy St. Nicholas Day to all. May you look into your shoes and find $20.00.

  422. This piece of shot is still breathing? At least car in is up and her usually perky self. That’s comforting.

  423. Whose turn is it to poat?

  424. I just poated at my place. I’m all poated out.

  425. Run and tell that!

  426. Reading the Big Hollywood review of the walking dead, along the liberal conservative line. This from the article:

    This allows the film-maker to engage in “social commentary” (lucky us), which liberal artists love to make more than art and liberal critics love to praise more than critique. George Romero pioneered this approach with “Night of the Living Dead,” which used zombies to cast a light on race relations, and “Dawn of the Dead,” which satirized America’s mall-culture commercialism, among others.

    And indeed, in “The Walking Dead,” the zombies could easily be substituted for a hurricane, nuclear war, etc., anything to throw a small group of people together in a desperate survival situation so the audience can watch them backstab each other, and the film-maker can make the point

    To which someone in comments responds:

    Zombie movies make the best case for the 2nd Amendment and the armed citizen. Both points which liberal critics never mention. Any type of catastrophic disaster scenario, as mentioned in the article, hurricane, flood, earthquake, makes the argument for self-reliance and self-preservation. Zombie movies are a metaphor, to me, anyway, always demonstrating the inability of government to find a solution.

  427. In just about every Zombie movie, the government totally shits the bed. None of it’s disaster plans work. Although they often try to portray this as a failure of the military industrial complex, one would have to be brain dead (heh) to accept that. It is rather linear. As if that is the ONLY failure of government.

    I don’t think I’m expressing this completely. Someone help me out here.

  428. Carin, I’m trying to think of any kind of recent disaster where the gov’t didn’t shit the bed. Katrina, oil spill, flooding, the ice storms in KY, OH, and IN a couple of years ago, etc.

  429. Shit the bed they do. But liberals always paint it as a failure of the fascist aspects of government. Not the liberal/socialist aspects.

    Oh, and depressing read of the day? The Pigford shakedown.

    Get your coffee first, and remove any sharp objects from your reach.

  430. It’s almost always a military failure. THAT is the only government failure that is presented.

    you’ll see tons of dead soldiers or stupid soldier or psycho soldiers.

  431. GRR – from that Pigford piece:

    “There was a lot of fraud, people collected money that had never stepped in the door of a USDA office before. To get around the fact that they had to demonstrate that they were denied services, they simply said we wouldn’t even give them an application [for a loan]. That was how they explained there was no evidence that they had ever even done business with the USDA.”

  432. Looking forward to reading that, car in. Could Pigford have been more well-named?

  433. I think it goes back to the article by Insty linked here the other day about lack of knowledge. You can’t be a total expert on everything – that’s why you have to enable action on the local level.

    I still shake my head over the feds blocking Jindal / LA from building barriers because they didn’t know what the effect on the wetlands was going to be. Like the fuckin’ oil wasn’t going to have a worse impact?!?

  434. Oh, my head is about to explode.

    “Still another USDA employee reports that he personally witnessed an example where eight Pigford applicants came from on single family, and they were accepted and granted by USDA. “Pigford was basically legalized extortion, ” reports this USDA employee, “it reached the point where they were just handing money to people.”

  435. Oh, sure, Roamy. But the only aspect that libs want to criticize (because, they do have aspects of “government criticism” in Zombie movies) is the military.

    The government usually draws up wonderful “containment” strategies, and the military fucks it up.

  436. “I am aware of four FSA employees who are black women claimants. They have never applied for farm programs loans with FSA.” This last point shows that even USDA employees started scamming. According to Kalil, one employee who collected money was [name redacted], formerly the Acting Adminitrator for [name redacted] and a Clinton political appointee.

  437. Yeah, Roamy, I linked that Insty piece. The libs’ philosophy just can’t get past the “Knowledge Problem.”

    The only place central planning works is in the lab. The field tests kick the shit out of it.

  438. Shit, I’m gonna have to either stop reading this, or start drinking early.

  439. KABOOM.

    Decades-old claims from African American farmers and native Americans that the government mistreated and swindled them out of billions of dollars can finally be settled starting Wednesday.

    President Barack Obama is set to sign the bill authorizing payment of $4.6 billion to settle claims that arose in class-action lawsuits.

    I’m gonna start hoping for that Zombie Apocalypse.

  440. either stop reading this, or start drinking early.

    Do both, to be sure.

    GOOD MORNING!

    I don’t care what the calendar or the weathermen say – it is offically winter because I started parking my truck in the garage overnight last night. I only do that in the winter, ergo, it is winter.

  441. I’m just throwing it out there. Have you considered gluten?

    Who lives closest to Car in?

    Whoever that is, it’s your job to kick her ass.

  442. Okay, I’m here now. Everyone’s sphincter can start puckering.

    (Too early?)

  443. And yes, it is indeed winter.

    The chip that controls my pool is in freeze protection mode. The puking lions are spewing nonstop in order to ensure that their pipes do not freeze.

  444. *nudges poat with boot*

    *no movement*

    *looks around*

    *rolls poat over and rifles it’s pockets*

  445. Laura, please get your hand out of my pocket. You are not pulling on my wallet.

  446. Carin, that made me sick to my stomach (the reparations deal). And to think the morning started out so well. My oldest is 21 today.

  447. *checks Michael’s weather forecast*

    No way. You’re totally safe all week. You should override that and save a few bucks on electricity.

  448. you wish

  449. You should override that and save a few bucks on electricity.

    I done that as best I can. The system only let’s you set freeze protection down to about 36° or so. I think it is worried about wind chill on above-ground plumbing.

  450. Check it out: parts of CT got a couple inches of snow last night. That’s unremarkable.

    What’s really cool is that it’s lake-effect snow from the Great Lakes.
    That doesn’t happen here all that often.

  451. Here’s a shocker, Kate Gosselin doesn’t like camping!

    Maybe it was finding out the hot-dogs are moose. About that time, Kate loses it.

    “I don’t see a table, I don’t see utensils, I don’t see hand-cleansing materials,” she whimpers. “This is not ideal conditions. I am freezing to the bone, I have 19 layers on, my hands are frigid. I held it together as long as I could and I’m done now!”

    Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/12/06/kate-gosselin-whines-way-sarah-palins-alaska/#ixzz17LKuR3Lh

    Can Kate please go away now?

  452. What’s really cool is that it’s lake-effect snow from the Great Lakes.

    We’re getting that in southern Ohio, too. First time I can recall snow hitting us off of Lake Michigan.

  453. Who is Kate Gosselin, and why should I care what the whiney little bitch says? She expected hand-cleansing materials while camping? Must be unclear on the concept.

  454. From Ace’s (a post from yesterday) a link to the 50 fattiest foodds in the states: I’ve BEEN to this place. Tony’s. It is unbelievable.

    They make a BLT with a pound of bacon. There is so much bacon on everything, people take it off.

    I had a Swiss melt, no bacon. There were many people of large girth there.

  455. MOM!! CARIN’S GETTING HER STINKY SNOW ALL OVER MY SIDE OF THE COUNTRY!!!

    Seriously, we’re getting more squalls now. You can tell it’s Michigan snow.
    It’s thuggish.

  456. I hate stories, though, that have a separate page for each entry. 36 worst holiday foods? I’ll never know because they’re no way in hell i’m clicking through all those pages.

    The fattiest foods article listed ’em all on one page.

  457. Look, Lauaraw, you’ll take our snow and like it. Would you prefer we sent our unemployed over there?

  458. you’ll take our snow and like it.

    *watches a bunch of badass Michigan snowflakes gang up and cap a sparrow in the ass*

    *mumbles something incoherent*

  459. CT’ers fold like cheap suits, Carin.

  460. Test…

  461. WHOOP!!! Working today!!

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  462. CT’ers fold like cheap suits, Carin.

    Lauraw doesn’t know who she’s messing with.

  463. Okay, Hostagettes … some life instructions for you:

    http://www.foxnews.com/health/2010/12/03/charity-sex-holiday-gift-keeps-giving/?test=faces

  464. Happy 21st mare’s oldest 🙂

  465. CT’ers fold like cheap suits, Carin.

    Bulldoinky.

    When times get tough, we update our insurance policies like BADASS MOTHERFUCKERS.

  466. Charity sex???

  467. Thanks, Carin.

    “When times get tough, we update our insurance policies like BADASS MOTHERFUCKERS.”

    HA!

  468. Heh, that’s a good one, clintbird (misspelling article).

    Anyone watch Palin’s show last night? I could almost hear Ashley Judd’s head exploding, as Palin shot at a caribou.

  469. True, Dick. Happens often around here, which is why I don’t care for the “charity” moniker.

  470. If celebrities found out that baby seal fat made you look 10 years younger, they’d be clubbing them themselves. Ashley Judd would be knocking people over to get to the youngest seal.

  471. We are getting intermittent flurries of Canadian snow. It’s quite pleasant, but jealous of our local snow.

  472. New poat is up.
