BBF – Pin Up Edition™

ATTENTION ON DECK!!!!!

It’s this week’s edition of BBF, only this time there’s a twist for you window lickers – none of the usual BBF wagons.

Rosetta has been on hiatus, or maybe he has had another bout of teh gout. Anyway, today you have me. This is my first attempt at this shit and anyone caught sniggering will be set on fire and stuffed in The Woodchipper®.

And now, please take Carin’s panties off of your head so we can get on with the show.

I have a huge collection of classic pin-ups, and even though it’s just paint on canvas many of my favorites would violate Article 7, Section 4.3 of The UNIFORM CODE OF HOSTAGES JUSTICE – the dreaded NNR. So here are several of my more modest favorites.


She’s from the Middle East. I’m pretty sure she isn’t one of them there radical islamist types.


This is the farmer’s daughter I had to sleep with when I was a traveling salesman.


Yarrrr!!!! Booty!


Anyone for a swim?


This was from the weekend Mare and I went skiing.


This was Lauraw before she grew that hideous hump. Tennis Anyone?


Owie. Cathy shoulda used sunscreen. Here, let me rub some lotion on that before you peel.


One of Carin’s kids puts a frog on her homeschooling desk. Naughty boy.


Weiner roast at SoHoS.


Ready about. Hard alee! This was when Roamie and I went for a sail.


Someone should send the Coast Guard after Cyn. She’ll end up with Wilson.


PJM takes a nap.


Here’s one for xBrad.


Mwahhhhh!!!!

There you have it. Your first PIN-UP BBF. Your mom approves of this.

I have no special plans for the weekend. If you have any, please keep them to yourself – we don’t give a shit.

No, actually have a great time. Maybe have a weiner roast.

  1. f-f-f-f-first!

  2. Well done, Hotspur! Excellent idea and execution!

    Rosetta realizes that the Internet exists outside of the library computer, right?

  3. I just want to know one thing.

    Judging by the past few header pics, I can assume that is Michele Bachmann as Boba Fett, right? Or is she Darth Vader?

    Michele as a Sith Lord has a nice ring to it.

  4. *flings panties at Hotspur*

    Well done jakeleg!

  5. so, I guess the takeaway here is that Hostpur is older than photography.

  6. by the way, I see nip in PJ’s picture.

  7. Wiillllssssoooonnnnnn!

  8. Well done HS.

    and by well done, I mean WTF?

  9. Did your breakfast buddy bring any Ensure with her?

  10. that’s just that mole on her forearm…

  11. No, that’s some left over breakfast.

  12. The picture that has the caption “PJM takes a nap” is one of my all time favorites.

  13. *scrolls back up to check out PJ*

  14. Did your breakfast buddy bring any Ensure with her?

    I think she’s on a diet. She hasn’t eaten anything in 30 minutes.

  15. Weiner roast at SoHoS.

    Trust me… hers are bigger.

    waaaaaaaaay bigger…….

  16. Wiillllssssoooonnnnnn!

    hahahahahahaha

  17. I think she’s on a diet. She hasn’t eaten anything in 30 minutes.

    – – – – –

    Tell everyone your making a run to the vending machine and see if anyone needs anything. If she throws you a 20…. diets over.

  18. SoHoS, that is Flaming June by Lord Frederic Leighton. It is my all time favorite. In fact I had it captioned “This is my favorite” before PJM changed the caption for it to be about her.

  19. I had a copy of it in my house in 96 and when I moved in 2001 it never made it to the new house. I think my room mate stole it from me.

  20. “The original French tickler” (Napoleon link)

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

  21. 90 minutes here and not one person has been called.

  22. Tell everyone your making a run to the vending machine and see if anyone needs anything. If she throws you a 20…. diets over.

    I’ll bet a $10 bill that it would be food stamps, not a $20.

  23. I’ll bet a $10 bill that it would be food stamps, not a $20.

    omg, she’s doing something with her phone that I guess requires her to shake it…..

    OMG IT’S ALL STILL MOVING!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!

  24. 90 minutes here and not one person has been called.

    So then you’re rolling in crazy jury duty pay.
    Woo Hoo! Drinks are on Wiser!

  25. So then you’re rolling in crazy jury duty pay.

    not so much. I don’t get paid for this. I only get paid if I’m unemployed.

    Nice arrangement, huh?

    Of course, we’re only talking about $23 a day even if I did.

    I make more money than that commenting here.

  26. I make more money than that commenting here.

    Wait, we get paid for this? OIC, I’m not good enough for a check.

    *stomps off crying.

  27. No shit on the pay? Damn; we get time and miles here. I think I got a check once for $16.07 for a full day, which included about a 60 mile roundtrip drive.

  28. Has anyone been able to get on Drudge this morning?

  29. From TiF in the last thread:

    They let you folks up there get away with that? Down here, we are told EXPLICITLY in the Jury Summons what clothing items are and are not acceptable.

    They tell you in the letter they send to dress appropriately for the proceedings.

    I guess some people just don’t know what the word “appropriately” means.

    Although, she is the only one who choose her particular style, I’m happy to say. Everyone else seems to be dressed in at least a “casual Friday at the office” style.

  30. Has anyone been able to get on Drudge this morning?

    yup. no problem at all.

  31. No problem for me ‘Spur.

  32. we get time and miles here. I think I got a check once for $16.07 for a full day, which included about a 60 mile roundtrip drive.

    Dayum….. $16 whole dollars, including mileage???

    What do you usually make per hour??

  33. Wait, we get paid for this?

    oops.

  34. Has anyone been able to get on Drudge this morning?

    – –

    Yes

  35. From the last poat (‘cuz I’m slow)

    …in a t-shirt and gym shorts…

    They let you folks up there get away with that? Down here, we are told EXPLICITLY in the Jury Summons what clothing items are and are not acceptable.

    Good thing I don’t have to show up for jury selection ever again (Rebecca is an automatic “out”) – I don’t have the wardrobe for an extended jury trial…..

  36. TiF.

    HAHAHAHA!!! I already responded to that comment above….

  37. Bwahahahaha, Jury Duty Dress Code Solutions™

  38. CRITICALLY IMPORTANT NEWSBREAK!!!!

    Southwest airlines pilot is taped complaining about flight attendants, referring to them all as either “gay, grannies or grande.”

    This…. is CNN.

  39. Are you saying This… is CNN in the James Earl Jones voice? Cuz I’m pretty sure that’s racist.

  40. Are you saying This… is CNN in the James Earl Jones voice? Cuz I’m pretty sure that’s racist.

    Dude, it’s the only voice I got.

    And I’m not a racist. I’m a Darthist.

  41. Very nice job, HS.

  42. From Ace’s Headlines:

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/24/funeral_death/

    “Woman dies of heart attack at own funeral”

    Great quote:

    Her husband, 51-year-old Fagili Mukhametzyanov, said: “Her eyes fluttered and we immediately rushed her back to the hospital but she only lived for another 12 minutes in intensive care before she died again, this time for good, which is when I decided to remove the pillow from her face.”

    I may have altered that a bit……

  43. If what is happening at the Casey Anthony trial right now is any indication of what I will have to sit through if I get selected, I am gonna choke a bitch.

    Well, not THAT bitch. My hands are waaay to small for that. But A bitch, that’s for sure.

  44. This is a travesty and a fucking bastardization of the entire BBF concept.

    Nice work Hotspur!

    Everyone else fuck off.

  45. TiF.
    HAHAHAHA!!! I already responded to that comment above….

    Some mornings, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed…..

    Time to go get my morning Coke (hey, you people get your caffeine your way, and I’ll get mine my way)

    The one morning that I can’t get back to sleep, and Little Miss “Up at the crack of dawn” decides to sleep in.

  46. Dayum….. $16 whole dollars, including mileage???
    What do you usually make per hour??

    Once I get your credit card number, I’ll tell you. I don’t make the rules.

  47. Oh great, just when we get everything fixed…. he shows up again.

  48. Who gave Norman Rockwell poating privileges?

  49. Heeeeey, looked who’s sobered up?

    What’s shaking, Rosie?

  50. If what is happening at the Casey Anthony trial right now is any indication of what I will have to sit through if I get selected, I am gonna choke a bitch.

    I think I mentioned a few days back the trial that Mr TiFW was >>this close<< to serving on which lasted EIGHTEEN MONTHS. Fortunately, the deceased was a semi-bigwig at Lockheed Martin, so the defense attorneys eliminated any LM employees from the pool. But not untill they had eliminated everyone else that they possibly could.

    The defendant (an anesthesiologist who should have lost his license LONG before the botched procedure) and the hospital lost BIG TIME, so the jury ended up voting the same way that Mr. TiFW would have, just given the little he heard about the case while waiting for jury selection.

  51. Oh, and LOVELY BBF, Hotspur – nothing like the classic ladies!

  52. Once I get your credit card number, I’ll tell you. I don’t make the rules.

    I have one I can give you, but it has a $12 limit, so let me know if that’s gonna work out…..

  53. That will work just fine wiserbuns. You have 30 seconds. Go.

  54. That will work just fine wiserbuns. You have 30 seconds. Go.

    done.

  55. I have never been called for jury duty before in my life. In the video they played this morning, they said they pulled names from, among other places, the unemployment lists.

    ooooooooooo, well that explains it…

    I thought it was because I jumped ugly with our Governor recently.

  56. Sometimes you wake up and it feels like a party day. This is one of those days.

    I’m on my third bloody and I’m ready to rumble. Who wants their ass kicked besides Richard?

  57. Allrighty then.

    I guess I’ll put that extra $8 back on your credit card, or do you just want the cash instead?

  58. I guess I’ll put that extra $8 back on your credit card, or do you just want the cash instead?

    Let’s seeee…. I’ll take the porcelain dalmation…., the 3 months of maid service……. the halogen lamp….. and I’ll put the rest on a gift card, Pat.

  59. I’m on my third bloody and I’m ready to rumble.

    I would kill for a bloody right now.

    Stupid “no thermoses” rule……

  60. uh oh…

    fat bitch is slumped over….

    she’s either fallen asleep or in a diabetic coma…..

  61. Stupid “no thermoses” rule……

    The correct term is “thermi”.

    Stupid.

  62. The correct term is “thermi”.

  82. I just got a notice in the mail for the 2nd week of July jury duty 😦

    sohitabonita, the best way to get out of jury duty is to tell that them that one time you killed a cop.

    They dismiss you automatically for that.

    Today we discovered that, not only do we have a birds nest in the wreath hanging on our door, there is the cutest little bird egg in it.

    Now what do we do?

  95. Richard, you’re on jury doodie?

    I think we should start seeing other people.

  100. No, but don’t imagine for a moment that I don’t lie awake nights fantasizing about burning the fucking place down.

  101. Richard, you’re on jury doodie?

    Not anymore. We got let go around 11:30, as there were no cases on the docket requiring a jury, So I’m done with that for 3 years.

  102. I think we should start seeing other people.

    Yes, that might be best.

  116. I think that’s field hockey, Herr Rosetta.

  117. Orange County does not pay for the first day of jury duty. It’s your ‘civic obligation’ for the first day.

    So far, been called twice, never seated. Never paid. And you gotta pay for your own lunch.

    But they have free wifi now, so that’s groovy.

  118. Laura, WTH?

    Try to get it moved to a Friday in the summer. The lawyers and the judges do not want to work late on those days.

    That’s what the judge who welcomed us this morning said, which I found rather strange. He just told the entire room how to avoid having to ever serve again. I mean, we had to show up, but we were out before noon and I am now off the hook for three years.

  138. Shut the fuck up, MJ.

  139. Live blogging jury duty.

    Most exciting idea ever!

    Not permitted here, I think. Batman was even instructed to turn off his cellphone.

  140. The woman sitting to my left was the only person in the room who was in support of the stupid Billion Dollar Boondoggle AKA the New Britain Busway.

    Lauraw described her thusly:

    There was a civil engineer from the state there who bravely stood up in the audience to defend the thing. She really was a very nice lady and meant well, and we treated her kindly. It’s not her fault she lives on a whole other planet with different concerns than the rest of us.

    In her world, the byzantine process of public planning and of acquiring money is the whole deal. The concepts of whether this is actually a worthwhile project or if it will harm the taxpayer are not even on the radar.

    She agreed that it cost too much (!!!), but, not sensing that she had just yielded to our entire point, she continued to state her main objection to our objections: they had this ball rolling through DC to get some federal funds from the Federal Unicorn Reserve, and they would all look really bad in DC if they withdrew. I shit you not.

    “Connecticut never seems to get it right,” when it comes to sponging from the Feds, she whined. So if we would all shut up, this would be a real resume-polisher for her and her colleagues from Planet Lamprey. Oh, and also young people take buses sometimes, and we want to encourage this because mass transit is supergood.

    She used the magic word “JOBS!” when defending this indefensible project. That set me off and later,during the q&a segment, I asked the representatives there and, kinda, her specifically, what jobs were they talking about?

    Construction jobs? Public worker jobs? Seriously, were they actually trying to say that this idiocy was going to generate any private sector jobs at all? If so, what and where?

    I got slightly heated during my question. I had to calm down and apologized to her when I got done for raising my voice.

    We cool now.

  141. Peter Falk has died.

    damn, that’s sad

  142. Live blogging jury duty.

    Most exciting idea ever!

    Don’t think they would have allowed me to be on-line if I was actually sitting on a jury either. I was just in the waiting room.

  143. Shut the fuck up, MJ.

    I’ll shut up when you stop being so ugly. By the way, there’s a 1970’s era vagina on your face.

  144. Peter Falk has died.

    damn, that’s sad

    From what I read, he had already been pronounced dead, but then as they were rolling his body out of the room, he sat up and said “Uuuuuuh, just one more thing…” before falling back to the gurney.

  145. hut the fuck up, MJ.

  148. GIRL FIGHT.
    *clears afternoon’s schedule.

  149. Well, someone got under Chief’s skin. The day’s activities are over.

    What shall we do now?

  150. *puts $20 on Rosetta. MJ is kinda scrawny.

    You didn’t see MJ work out, as I did J’ames.

    He was pumping the iron so hard he puked.

  151. Well, someone got under Chief’s skin. The day’s activities are over.

    What shall we do now?

    GROUP RUN!

  152. GROUP RUN!

    Speaking of puking…

  153. GROUP RUN!

    no.

    Anyone else got any ideas?

  154. And I’d be remiss in not thanking Cyn for raising a big stink with WordDouche™, resulting in us getting the old comment box back.

    Cyn, FTW!

  155. Started lifting again Car in. Two weeks in. I feel good, but very sore.

    That last 5k after the STL Meatface didn’t go so well, so I’m actually following a program. Mrs MJ is also, but hers is for beginners.

  156. I’ll give you guys a head start

  157. Hotspur, I will never say this publicly but this is in the top 5 of all BBFs ever.

    The pin up thing was a great original touch and it played well.

    And your link skillz are fucking outstanding. I LoLd and then LuLzd in my skort on 85% of your links. I’m glad you told me to check them out. And the Napoleon link was outstanding.

    I used to not like you because you’re such an insufferable douche-bag but you hit a home run with this.

    Hopefully people won’t be stupid like I was and not spend the time on the links. You did a great job brother.

  158. What’s the program?

    I’ve really got to concentrate on my runs if I’m planning on doing a half marathon sometime.

    BAsically, really, i just need to start including one loooong run per week.

    I’m doing everything but that.

  159. While you were off reading Hotspur’s poat, Rosie, we had a vote. You’re the running leader for today.

    Why don’t you get us started?

  160. I’ll give you guys a head start

    Don’t bother, it doesn’t take much to start the car I’ll be chasing you with. Just give me time to let the AC kick in.

  161. Cyn, FTW!

    Fuck the world wha??

    My box is the same as yesterday.

  162. And I’d be remiss in not thanking Cyn for raising a big stink with WordDouche™, resulting in us getting the old comment box back.

    Thanx, Cyn.

  163. Rosetta – How is the Missus doing? Hopefully, you are doing all of the housework and waiting on her as if she was the Queen of Sheba.

  164. My box is the same as yesterday.

    TAKE IT, XBRAD!!!!

  165. I have the old comment box back, Cyn. Same on other WP blogs.

    Interesting.

  166. I ‘m sorta irritated. I just called my kid’s doctor because #2 son had an ear infection of some sort (been going on for a while, and now his jaw hurts, which I’m thinking can’t be good).

    Anyway – so I call and they tell me he’s booked for a few weeks.

    A few weeks.

    WTF?

    I wonder if they can squeeze him in when he goes deaf?

  167. Did you run cleaners on your machine this morn, Jay?

  168. Carin – They didn’t give you a referral to an ENT specialist? WTF?!

  169. No, I didn’t Cyn. Started up normal (lazy).

    Sounds like Cathy has the old system back too, from her comment. Unless I read it wrong.

  170. Emailed it to you Car in. If there’s a spare picture of someone’s junk, it isn’t mine. I swear. For realsies.

  171. Weird. I have the new comment box in Firefox and IE, and the old one in Chrome.

  172. Got both my laptops and iPad churning this morning. My old Dell is sick so I’ve been down loading driver updates for the system… Taking the whole morning.

    Then my calendar needs updating with all the monthly meetings and stuff… And now am sync-ing with the iPad so that I’ll have access when some one asks me when they can meet with me.

    Just hoping all this will help me better manage my time… Feel very far behind on this stuff.

    Gotta do yard work later… Lots is waiting for me outside. Crap.

  173. Shit. Cyn’s leaving the fruit hanging so low, I strained my back trying to pick it up…

  174. Don’t bother, it doesn’t take much to start the car I’ll be chasing you with. Just give me time to let the AC kick in.

    HAA HA HA HAAA

  175. I’ll shut up when you stop being so ugly. By the way, there’s a 1970′s era vagina on your face.

    Like you know what a 1970s era vagina looks like. You were born back when Smashmouth was huge.

    Plus you read Esquire magazine which is totally fucking gay.

  176. Hahahaha

    Thanks, Big Man.

  177. Funny that Wiser never replied to my assertion that Led Zeppelin was the greatest cover band ever. . .

    http://fwd4.me/04mq

  178. Rosetta – How is the Missus doing? Hopefully, you are doing all of the housework and waiting on her as if she was the Queen of Sheba

    She’s doing great. Rosie Jr is apparently a third degree black belt kickboxer which is pretty fun. For me I mean.

    I’ve been teaching Floyd to do the housework. He’s not very good.

  179. Led Zeppelin was never the greatest nothing ever. Bunch of prancing pansies.

  180. Hey, did you know Rush is selling iced tea on the internet, now? I know, because he just told me for the ONE THOUSANDTH TIME!

    Gah, I can’t wait until it’s in stores, and we can have a million little roll outs every week.

  181. No, Chief they didn’t. They advised I take him to the walk-in clinic.

    Nice.

    Why the fuck should I have a doctor for him?

  182. Hey, did you know Rush is selling iced tea on the internet, now? I know, because he just told me for the ONE THOUSANDTH TIME!

    OMGOMGOMG HE IS??!?!?!? When did that start??!?!?!

  183. FTR, my box looks the same.

  184. I’ve been teaching Floyd to do the housework. He’s not very good.

    Tie a towel to his belly, and chase him around the house. There, dusted, and he’ll go in the corner and pass out from the effort. WINNING!

  185. I only wish there was some way to make ice tea at home to save me some money.

  186. I bet it has a catchy name too.

  187. Wiser – Despite your dislike of the band, doesn’t it disprove your theory or is there another caveat of which I’m unaware?

    http://fwd4.me/04mw

  188. Yeah, I just caught that too MJ.

    It’s going to be the BEST ICED TEA I EVER TRIED. I AM GOING TO WANT TO KEEP THE BEAUTIFUL BOTTLE.

    Wonder if this is an idea that came from the new wife.

  189. Rush has another wife?

    How many does that make?

  190. Checking in from Nantucket while momma’s shopping.

    Excellent BBF, HS.

  191. Tell us about the tea!

  192. While you were off reading Hotspur’s poat, Rosie, we had a vote. You’re the running leader for today.

    Why don’t you get us started?

    I assume you mean for President. I’m still trying to get my finance committee together.

    FLOYD!! GET TO WORK, PIG!!!

    The only other running I do is when I’m being chased.

  193. The only other running I do is when I’m being chased.

    That’s fine. Because apparently J’ames will be chasing us in his car.

  194. Iced tea?! How much vodka does that call for?

  195. Movie Review:

    Watched “Adam” last night. About a man with Asperger’s and a woman who kinda falls for him.

    Good flick. Well acted. Realistic. 4 out of 5 bald heads.

  196. Thanks, Andy.

    Are you staying where the Obamas stay?

  197. There is no tea in a Long Island Iced Tea.

    Iced tea?! How much vodka does that call for?

    Rum’s a better booze to mix with tea.

  202. From the “it’s a small world” department, the rabbi of the synagogue that hosted Mark Steyn and Andy McCarthy rode over on the ferry with us and is now a couple of tables away at “The Tavern.” Which may serve beer, BTW.

  203. Rush has always had a bit of cheesy hucksterism about him. If you remember his hideous line of ties of you know what I’m talking about.

    This tea thing is fucking bumming me out. He doesn’t need the money so I don’t get it. It’s great if he likes tea but seriously…shut the fuck up about it already.

    I’ve been listening to Rush for 15 years and this is the first time he’s bumming me out. Seriously. Fuck off tea.

    DIET RASPBERRY STFU!!

  204. Cathy – Spiced or Reg-U-Lar?

  205. Es viernes!
    http://fwd4.me/04my

    Oh. My.

    *heads to the shower*

  206. I think he’s on number 4.

    4 BOTTLES OF TEA

  207. Cathy – Spiced or Reg-U-Lar?

    Chief, either would be great, I’m thinkin… What ya got on hand?

    And this has NOTHING to do with Chief or my response… I just LOVE
    Steven Crowder.

  208. Spiced is a word that should never appear in the same sentence as rum.

  209. …apparently J’ames will be chasing us in his car…

    Imma be in the back seat, sipping on a Slurpee, and telling him how to drive……..

  210. Wiser – Despite your dislike of the band, doesn’t it disprove your theory or is there another caveat of which I’m unaware?

    Led Zeppelin falls under at least two previously discussed caveats:

    1) Could you find a band that has actually had a hit within the last 40 years or so? Bands that started in the 50s or 60s all did covers all the time. Hell, Pat Boone did covers of Little Richard. British bands basically stole tons of songs from old blues singers and recorded them back in the day. As I have mentioned time and time again, my theory is more a commentary on modern popular music and not ancient music history.

    2) Basically none of the songs that you linked can be considered “hits” when they were released by the original artist.

  211. I’m not faulting Rush for selling his teas. It’s his fuckin’ advertising. I’m not supposed to like it. Won’t be buying it to have it shipped to my home. Yea, all that water shipped seems stupid. If he wants to I’ve got no problem with it. It helps pay for air-time. I like listening to Rush and will put up with the ads. If it ends up in stores, I might try it.

    I brew my own and drink it with either a touch of cane sugar or nothing. This week I’ve been brewing Kombucha. It tastes great and helps the immune system and intestinal cleansing. When it’s 90-100+ degrees drinking good fluids is essential… stuff that helps us sweat clean, not clog our systems up with high-fructose corn syrup and shit.

    Some of my favorite teas have such nice flavor they don’t need sugar. I do NOT use sugar substitutes, except for the natural ones like Stevia. Some stuff clogs our cleansing organs and can give us headaches or worse.

    Fin.

  212. Is there gluten in tea?

  213. I’ve been listening to Rush for 15 years and this is the first time he’s bumming me out. Seriously. Fuck off tea.

    I’ve actually taken to muting the third hour almost entirely

  214. Spiced is a word that should never appear in the same sentence as rum.

    Yea. Got a bottle of the stuff as a Christmas gift from one of my employees years ago. Took us years to use it. I prefer a high quality dark rum on the rocks, but have not had much of that lately.

    Don’t drink much anymore, but am in the middle of an ‘experiment’ with Gin. Wondering if the juniper berries may have some medicinal value for my system… especially in the summer months.

  215. Captain Morgan’s and Coke. Spiced rum has a place in society.

  216. I just bought a franchise for Two if by Tea – I have .pdf order form I can email all of you. Thank you in advance for your orders!

  218. Ok, I’m at a walk-in clinic with my son. Am I gonna catch the clap if i use the bathroom.

    Captain Morgan on the rocks.

    perfect.

  222. Better not chance it, Car in. Just go outside by that tree.

  223. I have a bottle of captain morgan’s in my cabinet. It ain’t going anywhere.

  224. Is there gluten in tea?

    Hahahahahahaha. Good one.

    Make sure you reply to all on every email that includes Rosetta. He LURVES email.

    I’ll fucking cut you.

  225. Btw — our local conservative talk show host, Mark Davis, will be subbing for Rush on Monday and Tuesday. He’s not bad. I listen to him almost every morning, but I prefer Mark Steyn as a Rush sub.

    Anyone who listens to Mark Davis on Monday or Tuesday… I’d be interested in your thoughts. Fanx.

    Rum neat. Coke neat. Never the twain need meet.

  226. *emails rosie

  227. I think iCar in should have a blog. That would be fun.

    Then we could hear all about the gym, and soccer, and the doctor’s office. Things that are important, yannow.

  228. I have a bottle of captain morgan’s in my cabinet. It ain’t going anywhere.

    Send it to me. I’ll finish it for you.

  229. Walter Williams and Mark Steyn are my two favorite subs.

  230. I think Mark Davis is one I’ll listen to when he subs on Rush, Steyn is the other. Mark Belling, I just turn off.

    What do we need to report on, Cathy? Content, or presentation?

  231. Stfu, j’ames.

  234. Fucking rum snobs make me want to go out and buy a half gallon of Capt. Morgan’s.

  235. I love it when Williams talks about Mrs. Williams.

  236. Seriously, I hope it’s nothing serious, Car in. Must be bothering him pretty bad, if you had to go to the walk in clinic.

  237. I’m not a rum snob. Just not a rum drinker. Mojitos are the only rum I imbibe .

  238. What do we need to report on, Cathy? Content, or presentation?

    Both. And I agree about Mark Belling. He’s okay, but usually end up turning him off because of his what?… accent? Yuk.

  244. Deal! Iffen you take delivery the same way!!!!

    Pics or it never happened…..

  245. Hope your kiddo is OK, Carin – those ear infections can get nasty.

    My dentist told me that the reason that the teeth and jaw sometimes hurt is because the nerve in the ear runs all the way down to the jawline.

    But if it’s been bothering him that long, it sounds like the infection has gone beyond his ear, poor thing.

    Hopefully they can give him some good drugs for the pain.

  259. More liberal projectionism:

    The group’s website said it wants to stop Republicans from “manipulating” election results.

    “Any serious commitment to wresting control of the country from the Republican Party must include removing their political operatives from deciding who can vote and whose votes will count,” the group said on its website, accusing some Republican secretaries of state of making “partisan decisions.”

  268. y’all should be really jealous of me. Yes you should.

    And her dad.

  271. Hotspur – They wouldn’t return my calls.
    MCPO – Shut up, a Coat of Arms for the H2 is already on my schedule so you should feel special for that much XP
    Wiser – I didn’t sleep THAT late, and also thanks for not groping me during the town hall.Dad wishes you’d given him the same courtesy though.

  272. Wiser – I didn’t sleep THAT late, and also thanks for not groping me during the town hall.

    It was a first date….. I’m a gentleman.

    He’s older and I’m sure he was far more grateful for the attention than you would have been.

    Dress yourself up in some skimpy camo gear and walk on down there. I think they will pay attention to you then.

  279. Plus you read Esquire magazine which is totally fucking gay.

    Even my gay neighbors wondered why I had that magazine. I told ’em some fag gave it to me. Their also wondered about your motives.

  280. Jury duty sucked, if you’re curious.

    First of all, I accidentally showed up at the wrong courthouse, so I had to hustle to catch a bus for the correct courthouse about a mile away. No biggie. I just missed part of the video about how important my service was.

    At the second courthouse, by the way, my Zippo (gift from Lipstick) did not make it through security, even though they had no problem with it at the first courthouse. They told me if I left it with them I could not get it back. So I went outside and stashed it under a bush, and got in line again.

    Thursday is a slow day, so I was encouraged to believe I might get out of there by 11:00 a.m. Then, I was called up to Criminal Court No. 11, which handles domestic violence cases. Bummer. I don’t really want to hear about who beat his bitch, how bad, and whether she had it coming.

    Fortunately, after about an hour of standing around in the hall, the judge (very nice, funny and friendly black lady) called us in, thanked us, and told us that the case had been resolved while we were standing around. So, I did not have to listen to why that bitch took a beating, but I’m pretty sure she deserved it.

    Dallas County is the first jurisdiction in the country to adopt the “one day one case” system of jury duty, which has since been widely copied. I was home by about noon.

  281. Imma let you finish. . . but first I wanna say that I plan on drinking tonight!

  282. Jury duty sucked, if you’re curious.

  284. What’s your Dad’s online name again Revvy?

  285. So, I did not have to listen to why that bitch took a beating, but I’m pretty sure she deserved it.

    Hahahahahaha

  286. Too bad her dad showed up though……..

    Lucky Revvy. She had two father-figures at the same event.

    Quick question: As a lawyer, are you exempt?

    My Missouri license exempted me, which I think makes sense. Nobody wants a lawyer on the jury.

    My Texas license does not. You gotta hope that the judge or the lawyers will bounce you from any kind of serious case.

  287. Look, Hotspur, I don’t mean to suggest I would not have been an impartial juror. I would have fairly evaluated the facts and the law to determine whether the bitch got walloped too much, too little, or just right.

  288. Re: Jury Duty.

    I merely ask where the guilty bastard is sitting. Most defense lawyers don’t appreciate the attitude.

  289. I never made it past a voir dire (however that’s spelled)

  290. Sohos – my Dad posts as West (fun fact: that’s also his name) but he hasn’t been around lately. The only reason he came out last night was because I told him it was going on and made big sad puppy eyes at him when he said he wasn’t sure he was gonna make it.

    Luckily Wiser failed to ruin the night for him, so hopefully he’ll think about commenting more often.

  291. Lucky Revvy. She had two father-figures at the same event.

    HAHAHAHA!!!

    As opposed to wiserdaughter, who was lucky enough to have both her father and a grandfather-figure there at the meat-up a few years back.

  292. But I thought they were a peaceful religion?….

    The problem with the name al-Qaida, bin Laden wrote in a letter recovered from his compound in Pakistan, was that it lacked a religious element, something to convince Muslims worldwide that they are in a holy war with America.

    http://is.gd/dv8XBA

    As bin Laden saw it, the problem was that the group’s full name, al-Qaida al-Jihad, for The Base of Holy War, had become short-handed as simply al-Qaida. Lopping off the word “jihad,” bin Laden wrote, allowed the West to “claim deceptively that they are not at war with Islam.” Maybe it was time for al-Qaida to bring back its original name.

    And yet, Obama -idiot that he is – interprets it a DIFFERENT way:

    At the White House, the documents were taken as positive reinforcement for President Barack Obama’s effort to eliminate religiously charged words from the government’s language of terrorism. Words like “jihad,” which also has a peaceful religious meaning (on which planet?), are out. “Islamic radical” has been nixed in favor of “terrorist” and “mass murderer.”

    We’re all going to end up dead because of PC ideologues…..

  293. to determine whether the bitch got walloped too much, too little, or just right.

    Was she going to testify? I think hearing her speak would have made it pretty easy to make the right decision.

  294. You spelled it right, Dave. Not bad for a Baptist.

    Most layman pronounce it wrong. They say “voyer diyer.”

    It’s actually French, and more sounds like “vwahr deer.”

  295. Was she going to testify?

    Beats me, but I would assume so. We didn’t hear any specifics about the case, so I’ll not know whether the bitch-slapping was appropriate or excessive.

  296. Was she a ho? Bitch-slapping a ho is considered part of the pimps work responsibility. I don’t think you can be arrested for keeping your hos in line.

  297. If she was nappy headed, I’m pretty sure he is innocent.

  298. PERV!!!

    http://bit.ly/jQ3wLf

  299. I don’t think you can be arrested for keeping your hos in line.

    Yes you can. Let me give you a brief lecture.

    See, in many many types of criminal and civil cases, the law introduces the standard of “reasonableness.” The judge’s instructions to the jury will include the word “reasonable.” E.g., what is “reasonable” reliance on a fraudulent statement, what is a “reasonable” duty of care in a negligence case, what are “reasonable” circumstances to pull a gun and shoot someone in self-defense.

    The law has no opinion about what is reasonable. That extremely difficult issue gets punted to juries.

    So, you get my point. Keeping the hos in line has to be “reasonable.” You can’t use a flamethrower.

  300. Anyone care to join me?

  301. So, you get my point. Keeping the hos in line has to be “reasonable.”

  305. By the way, Hotspur, this was one of the best BBFs ever.

    It was intelligent, witty, sexy, artistic, and even included flirtatious remarks for the Hostagettes.

    Pretty much everything that Rosetta routinely fails to accomplish.

    I tip my hat to you, sir.

    (Cathy loved it too.)

    HAHAHAHAHA!

    Unfortunately, most lawyers and judges don’t know about any of that stuff.

    Or won’t admit it.

  308. Enjoyed that video, Chief.

    Spain is a weird country. They are about — what? — 500 years past their zenith, and they still seem to think they are cool.

  309. Thanks, Batman. I had great fun with it.

  310. HAHAHA!

    Whatever you say Michael. Personally, I enjoyed the time I lived there – immensely.

  311. Heh, pretty clever play on an old cliche: Des Moines Register: Iowa Corn Indy 250: Danica Patrick uses ‘ovaries’ in Iowa

    definitely made me look twice.

  312. Pretty much everything that Rosetta routinely fails to accomplish.

    And I saw a nipple!

  313. Luckily Wiser failed to ruin the night for him, so hopefully he’ll think about commenting more often.

    The high point of the evening was when West and I got into a knife fight in front of the bar. He was faster than I had anticipated. He managed to stab me lightly in the forearm and I gave up immediately. I’m kind of a wuss about deep flesh wounds.

    But that seemed to lighten his mood, so we all ended up having a much better time because of it. So it was totally worth getting stabbed. It was really nothing, can’t even feel it unless I’m awake.

  314. Did you stitch it yourself. Because I think you’re the kind of woman who would stitch it herself.

  315. Lauraw, the funniest part about that whole comment is that fact that Dad really did have a knife on him.

  316. Hahahaha

    I’ll never look at Flaming June the same.

    The thought just occurred to me that the caption should have said “PJM takes a nap. Too bad she doesn’t realize she started her period.”

  317. Personally, I enjoyed the time I lived there – immensely.

    Duh. Great food, beautiful women, good wine, Mediterranean climate, fabulous scenery.

    Glad to hear that you did not spend your entire time there reading the Dune saga.

  318. Because I think you’re the kind of woman who would stitch it herself.

    Cheap? Yeah.

    drive time, cya

  319. Michael – I had a motorcycle and spent most of my off-time exploring places that tourists never see. Plus, camping on the beach at Trafalgar and hiking in Ronda. Wish I had taken pictures but, the thought never occurred to me.

  320. “That’s kind of what I thought last year, around (Turns) 1 and 2, the bumps there — just did not feel comfortable for me,” Patrick said.

    …..until she learned how to hit them juuuust right and suddenly, they were her best friend in the world.

  321. Lauraw, the funniest part about that whole comment is that fact that Dad really did have a knife on him.

    So, he did not have a gun? You are saying that Wiser was present and he did not have a gun?

    West is not really a good father.

  322. I just got earwormed by this song for about the bajillionth time.

    http://tinyurl.com/647ndgs

    I don’t know if it’s the aggressively cheerful music paired with such sociopathic lyrics, but for some reason every time I hear even a snippet of this song I immediately have to find it on YouTube and listen to it at least twice.

  323. Thanks Rev

  324. Lauraw, the funniest part about that whole comment is that fact that Dad really did have a knife on him.

    yeah…… funny……..

  325. Michael, his Magnum isn’t registered.

  326. Chief, I remember Ronda. Very scenic — big chasm running through the center of town. I remember a story about somebody throwing somebody into the chasm during the Spanish Civil War.

    Your challenge coin is still on my desk. I use it to cover up a cigarette burn.

  327. No problem Sohos.
    Wiser – See, it was good you behaved. And yes, he does ALWAYS have the knife. Habit he picked up in the circus (no, really).

  328. Michael, his Magnum isn’t registered.

    Revvy, it’s legal to carry big bottles of unregistered wine.

    They would be a poor weapon against Wiser’s thick noggin.

  329. Wiser – See, it was good you behaved.

    I would just like to point out here that I always looked Revvy in the eyes when we spoke.

    Always.

  330. I would just like to point out here that I always looked Revvy in the eyes when we spoke.

    I did the same thing with your daughter.

  331. Of course, I never actually spoke to your daughter. She was, at best, 67 feet away in a white bikini.

    But you get my point.

  332. Why does my box suddenly look different?

  333. …. someone else want to take Car in’s question? It’s a little too easy for me.

    Hi, Carin.

  341. HI CB. Yep, i think i caught the clap in that walk-in clinic.

    Or crabs.

    (scratch scratch)

    Hotspur – I’m going sober tonight, because I’ve been feeling light-headed all day. I was able to work out (actually, I felt pretty good for that, but I only did cardio) but I’m gonna ease off on the sauce for today.

    Tomorrow, OTOH is a new day.

  342. Your bride’s inn does sell alcohole, amiright?

  343. Go to the dining page and scroll down to the photos part way down.

  344. Hotspur how far is the inn from where you work?

  345. Four hours, Scott.

  346. This week has been like a slow motion meetup.

    Saw the Wiserbuds on Sunday, Rosetta Wednesday, Wiserbud, West and Revvy on Thursday and we also met 2 AOS lurkers last night that are moving to our town soon.

  347. Ouch.

    You need a company plane.

  349. Hotspur, nice job on teh BBF. And not just because I really like the one you picked for me.

  350. I didn’t get a BBF model picked out for me…..

    Do they have any BBW BBF’s out there?

  351. Sorry I could not help you out Carin. I’m soaking wet still in a Swimsuit, and need to now mow the lawn. Been transplanting,weeding, and mulching for hours. Good thing is that I can hose myself down and get in the pool as a treat.

    Mower is waiting. Later.

  352. So basically, they aren’t going to be happy with ANYTHING:

    In yesterday’s Times, Columbia Law School professor Katherine M. Franke opined that, while some gay couples may wish to get on board with marriage, others don’t see the “one-size-fits-all rules of marriage” as the ideal setup for the kinds of arrangements some same-sex relationships demand. She goes on,

    Here’s why I’m worried: Winning the right to marry is one thing; being forced to marry is quite another. How’s that? If the rollout of marriage equality in other states, like Massachusetts, is any guide, lesbian and gay people who have obtained health and other benefits for their domestic partners will be required by both public and private employers to marry their partners in order to keep those rights. In other words, “winning” the right to marry may mean “losing” the rights we have now as domestic partners, as we’ll be folded into the all-or-nothing world of marriage.

    After “winning the right to marry,” Franke argues, couples uninterested in marriage risk being “forced to marry” in order to keep their domestic partnership rights. She wonders further why couples should have to seek marriage at all if they seek mainly to have their relationships “recognized and valued.”

  361. OMG – I just made a loaf of GF bread using a mix that I got a couple of weeks ago.

    I think I”m in BIG trouble – the loaf came out of the oven a little while ago, and it cooled down enough for me to cut it and taste it. This is the closest they’ve come to “real” bread that I’ve found.

    A slice with melted butter on it?
    Absolute heaven – and Mr. TiFW agrees (as does Rebecca’s attendant, who doesn’t eat GF).

    Yep, big, BIG trouble…..

  362. **cracks open a beer

    Well … maybe just one

  363. What brand o’beer you got in there??

  364. The best brand… FREE beer!

  365. . . . as long as it’s not Old Milwaukee Light.

  366. I said “free beer” not “recycled horse piss.”

    Now there’s a coincidence.

    96 degrees? Fuckit.

  373. I would just like to point out here that I always looked Revvy in the eyes when we spoke.

    I guess that it depends on just what your definition of “Eyes” is….

  374. 96 degrees? Fuckit.

    I may come across as a perv, but I do try to pay attention to body temp.

  375. Shut up, tubby!

  376. Sohita, I’m still on Season 5. I’m trying to watch it with Roamy, and she’s taking her sweet assed time watching S5…

  377. I guess that it depends on just what your definition of “Eyes” is….

    I’ll have you know that I keep my pants on in almost all social situations.

  378. Did West just misspell his own name?

  379. Where the hell you been west?

  380. Are you Revv-ster’s dad? Pleased to meet you sir.

    I too have adult daughters, both graduates of college (shows you my bank statements *cough*).

    I’m guessing you’re a proud dad cause you have a pretty neato kid there. Later perhaps we can trade apochyphal* stories about being the father of a daughter, or daughters if you didn’t stop before you realized just how hard this could be.

    Dummy.

    * made up bullshit

  381. Did West just misspell his own name?

    Sunday. Building nearby. Don’t be judgemental.

  382. I watched all of 5, then 1, 2, now 3. Watching 4 on Hulu at work

  383. In re: Revvy– ya done good West.

  384. There’s a difference between being judgmental, and teasing.

    For instance, when I comment on West misspelling his own name, that’s teasing.

    When I shun you because of your hideous visage, that’s being judgmental.

  385. Peter Falk has passed on.

    He doesn’t have any more questions for you.

  386. Well, email Roamy and tell her to hurry up and get back on 5…

    I’d like to finish five and six, don’t really care about 7 and 8.

  387. Thanks for the compliments re: Revvy. My secret is that I beat her and her sister regularly.

  388. When I shun you because of your hideous visage, that’s being judgmental.

    No, that’s taste. Dumbass.

  389. Sohita – Did you receive a letter today?

  390. Look guys! I made him reappear!

  391. Ah. Two daughters then.

    I know this pain joy.

  392. Where have I been? Working, mostly. I am recovered enough so that a full day at work is not torture like it used to be, but I don’t have much left afterwards. Also, wallowing in the shallow and foul-smelling puddle of my current low self-esteem, a side-effect of being under-employed.

  393. wallowing in the shallow and foul-smelling puddle of my current low self-esteem

    See? If you’d been here like you should’ve been, your low self esteem would’ve seemed ok.

  395. Daddy, you should just go back to gradeschool! You won’t learn anything, but your self esteem will be AWESOME.

  396. You won’t learn anything, but your self esteem will be AWESOME.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Revvy owes me half a drink!

  397. Well, I was just not feeling up to Hostages standards, if you can believe that.

    It was great seeing y-all last night. Thanks for the invite. You can blame Revvy for me showing up. She really did do the sad puppy dog face.

  398. Thanks, Roamy.

  399. The sad puppy face always works.

  400. I need a new bar.

    Sell any screws today Herr?

  401. >> Well, I was just not feeling up to Hostages standards, if you can believe that.

  408. Later, Herr & Xbrad. I am going to go out to the gay-rage and work on motorcycle bits.

    I’ll be around more. Stabbing Laura Did wonders for me. Raised my self-esteem considerably, knowing I can take a 95-lb woman in a fight.

  409. Hey West. Good to see you around these parts again.

  410. I am going to go out to the gay-rage and work on motorcycle bits.

    Will you be wearing chaps?

  411. Well, crap. Now the ghosty version of the comment box is back again.

    Fraaking communist bastages at WP!

  412. She has green streaks radiating from her third nipple.
    Is that normal?

  413. I think West’s knife is dirty.

  416. Well, crap. Now the ghosty version of the comment box is back again.

  474. Heheh
    I worked late tonight and called about a car in AZ.
    I talked to the guy earlier and he said call back at 5 local.

    So i did and he said yes he did have a 07 Honda Pilot with 200k miles on it.

    He said that on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst car you have ever seen?

    It was a 20.
