Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I received several good leads this week, so let’s get to it.
Did I find one of Tim Tebow shirtless? Yes, I did.
An anonymous donor sent this redhead in for Carin.
Someone mentioned Henry Cavill, who is starring in the new Superman movie.
And because it will make Sohos happy.
Last but not least, you’ve seen this before, but now I want to know if MCPO’s relative is in this picture.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Very nice.
I figure if I can get as lean as Tebow, that’s enough.
There is nothing hawter than a set of hard, strong hands.
Or SEALS that need a spanking.
I’ll vote for whoever promises to get to work before 9:30.
You makin’ it hard to get out of bed, Roamy. BUNK!
Um and good morning.
No more Twinkies?
I’ll vote for whoever promises to get to work before 9:30.
Working is for the little people, MJ.
Good morning. Hailstorm here around 5 AM makes for an ugly wake-up call.

Oooohh yeah, Carin–that did not escape me.

Could it be that the President’s brilliant populist power play of making a questionable recess appointment to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau backfired? It certainly doesn’t seem to have helped. On January 2, the RealClearPolitics average put Obama one point underwater, with a disapproval rating of 47.8 and an approval of 46.8. He appointed Cordray on January 4. He’s now almost 6 points underwater.
Carin, my pick as well. Girl fight!
I “called” him first.
You can have him when i’m done.
He look like he might could handle all three of us, no prob, Roamy.
True, Cyn, but I’ll take my second pick, the second from the left in the back row, because I’m impatient that way.
I’ll leave you with this:

9:30? You on vacation, MJ?
Its possible that I’m just being a dick. I guess my industry gets to work earlier than most, but 9:30?
Half the day is over.
No, you’re not MJ. Obama is lazy.
our warehouse opens at 8, but the guys get their earlier if they need to load/unload stuff, or prepare for a busy day.

Pat has been known to leave the house at 4:30 to get a jump start before things get busy.

It’s interesting those SEALS aren’t super lean/thin. They are really fit and have meat on their bones. You’d think the way they train they couldn’t keep enough calories to maintain any extra meat (sywm). I’d take any one of them. After Tebow of course.
9:30 seems late. Very late.
Cain is Pat your husband?
Hey, who took my “r”? Probably the same asshole who gave this post a thumbs down.

Yeah, you ladies take Mr. Tough Guy Armband Tattoo, I’ll be hanging out with the guy all the way to the right, who has a great sense of humor, is totally laid back, and likes to cook with fire. For me.
Oh, and he cuddles. He’s very affectionate.
Sooo cuddly.
Reading probably 30 blogs, listening to the radio through out the day and just general awareness, I haven’t heard too many Romney supporters. Very, very few. I generally listen to and read conservative stuff and I don’t find any of the conservative commenters supporting Romney. How did he crush everyone in New Hampshire. Like I asked yesterday; Who in New Hampshire is voting for Romney?
No, I was just wondering if that was your husband’s name.
Mr armband tatoo got that before every other two-bit tough-guy wanna-be got one.
Armband tatoo on most guys? Poser.
Armband tatoo on a Navy Seals? Bunk
I’m like, “ANOTHER hug?” and he’s like, “c’mere,” and I’m like, “okay.”

You realize having a husband named Pat does nothing for your internet-lesbian image.
Oh, I’m sorry. No he goes by Mr Car In.
People who don’t really know him call him Pat.
actually, lol, his name is John. Pat is his middle name. So people who don’t know him call him John or military folks. He went by John in the military.

Carin, is everything complicated at your house?
“My dog’s name is Zelda, but John/Pat decided to call her Champ, but my kids call her Real Mom and my Dad calls her Get out of Here.”
John was also his dad’s name, so dad went by John and Pat went by Pat.

Aside to the ladies about a nice lipstick: Estee Lauder Exotic Orchid Shimmer.
Just switched from some dark matte autumn shades to bright and shiny. This shimmer formula wears really well (seems to almost act like a stain later in the day) and goes with everything. Leaves lips soft.
This ‘Orchid’ one is a nice bright pick-me-up color without going too candy-pink (…if your complexion doesn’t take candy pink. Mine doesn’t).
Mine neither.

Yes, I realize that they are supposed to be obnoxious monsters.
Well done.
I just ran an errand to the post office, and decided to stop at Sonic for lunch, when to my disgust I saw a freakin’ HS football “star” slide up in his H3 and park in a handicap spot.
Fucker…
This is when it’s handy to have a wheelchair in your trunk.
So you can be waiting by his vehicle when he comes out, with a bitchy look on your face and a steel-topped cane in your hands.
Oh, I pulled alongside and snidely said he sure didn’t look handicapped to me, and that he had a rather distinctive vehicle…. then I waved my phone at him and wished him a good day.
And I posted the pic on FB, for all the parents to see
Heh; that reminds me of a news story back when I lived in Tulsa many moons ago and people were using the HC parking spots. Some militant group would go around and put white shoe polish all over the front windshield and then they’d tuck a little note at the driver’s window: “Looks like you’re handicapped now.”
Wow! It’s surprising how unsatisfying a lemon/lime popsicle is for lunch.
Go crazy and have a second, MCPo. You’re worth it.

HAHAHA!
1. I don’t want another popsicle – yet.
2. That is a boy after my own heart.
I think I might get a kick out of blowing up a building too. Glad the boy got his wish; very cool.
Can you have broth, MCPO?
Lauraw – I had some watered-down chicken stock. I’m going to have some orange jello in a bit.
Neuroblastoma….that’s heartbreaking. I’m so happy he got that wish, and it was awesome that the town showed up in support.

Hola, just catching up here and jumped ahead.
Love Laura’s lipstick recommendation. It looks a lot like the late, lamented Lancome “Wow”, which is great for evening and has been discontinued.
I have been going through all the Clinique freebies that have been tossed aside in a drawer and have found several keepers. “Raspberry Glace” is a terrific daytime lipstick.

Haven’t been to a perfume counter in years. Last time was probably several years ago and I remember my GF and I remarking on how half the new scents smelled like black pepper and animals.

It’s pretty nice. Light, clean, not too flowery.

Berry Freeze (another freebie) is good too.

Me either, Laura. I got two perfumes, one tends to be for summer, the other for winter. Done.
I like the smell of sandalwood.

I vote for Hot Pocket, Lipstick. Less stuff to clean up
>> Dave, what did you cut your arm on?
The interior corner of a cabinet opening. Smacked my elbow on it, it was a little deeper than I thought.
Stupid plumbing.
A whole Hot Pocket?
Etiquette question.
So, I went to the funeral home earlier for my coworker’s husband’s memorial. I believe the cremation and funeral home services are paid for because work has a $5k life insurance policy out on each full time worker….a standard ‘benefit’. But, the coworker and her husband were in financial straights and were ready to declare bankruptcy – a factor that probably helped nudge him over the edge.
Now, with him gone, that is one pay check less to pay off debt/bills/rent/etc.
Tomorrow there is a potluck at work. I don’t usually eat or bring in a dish as I’d rather just put money in the jar. Next week, a basket of stuff raffle.
I didn’t send flowers because considering her circumstances, I’d rather just give her the money. So, do I throw money in the jar and hope that cash doesn’t get taken, bid a crap ton on a basket and pay with a check, or just hand her a card with money in it.
If I go with option three of just money/card, how could I get away with doing so without making her feel like a charity case?
I’d have the Beefaroni.
OH BOY! I get to choose between orange or lemon/lime jello!
I see nothing wrong with any of your ideas beasn. Charity in a time of need is a good thing. But if you’re worried that she might feel badly you could always send the card anon.
dave, I would send it anonymously but her kids have moved back in with her (before it happened) – not sure how trustworthy they are, and I’m nervous about dropping a C note in a jar.
Financial straights Beasn.
I wouldn’t worry about it. Cash will be appreciated.
Please keep in mind that I suck at stuff like this.
I’d go with option #3, and just write something along the lines of you know that this is a difficult time and the last thing she needs to be worrying about is how to pay the bills.
I don’t think that will sound too much like “charity”; I’m sure that she will appreciate it very much.
I can’t think of a situation where cash would piss me off.
If anyone wants to mail me some, I am perfectly OK with it.
I would go with option 3, Beasn. Also, letting her know personally that you wish to help her would probably go a long way to relieving her of her burden. Troubled shared, etc.
A whole Hot Pocket? I can manage it! But Canned beef ravioli has won tonight.
But Canned beef ravioli has won tonight.
That would have been my choice, had you offered it
I’ll probably put a little in the potluck jar and go balls out on the raffle.
There were a lot of people at the funeral home. Maybe five family members, the rest her work family.
Put it in her hand and tell her to open it later.
Dave is good at this.
If you’re worried about the kids taking it, you may want to hand-deliver it; that way, you know that SHE is the one who actually received it.
A visit to see her – if you are comfortable with that – would be greatly appreciated, I am sure.
Given the circumstances of how her husband died, there may not be that many people who are willing to come by and talk with her. (I don’t know about these things, though)
That’s just my opinion, FWIW -
I’ll see what happens and what kind of baskets they are. We’ll probably go visit her a couple of times while she gets her bearings in the next couple of weeks. She is actually pretty open about things. It keeps things simple for her.
A few years back, when she was 49ish, she had a stroke, and her short term memory sucks and certain ways of thinking are too difficult. Clear and direct is the way to go.
Whatever you decide to do, it’s very sweet and I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Teresa, a couple of my other coworkers went to see her the day after it happened (without telling me) and took her a nice ham (she has a ham sammich almost everyday), fruit, veggie trays, dessert.
She loved it and loved that they came and got to talk about what happened.
So, we’ll take her some more dinners/flowers/wordsearch (exercises her brain).
The infection is weird Dave.
I wouldn’t think a cabinet would cause a staph infection unless a bird pooped on it.
Bacteria suck.
….in the coming weeks….
Staph pretty much lives on our bodies Scott. It doesn’t happen with every cut but it can. Doc said a deeper cut gives it a beeeeg invite.
Lesson learned. Clean with antiseptic.. treat it the first day not the third.
People are icky.
Wait, wut? Dave has the ecoli in his arm?
“Staph pretty much lives on our bodies Scott.”
I am aware of that, but not on elbows. Those suckers are normally sterile.
Weenus
You are good people Beasn.
(Notices that the Texas cabal all pretty much had the same suggestions – coincidence?)
You’re good people, Beasn.
Beasn, given the circumstances, I’d give her the cash in person and hope the kids don’t take it. Who knows what kind of “expenses” may be deducted from the other stuff.
Beasn is the Shiznit!
Yes, you are Beasn.
I cutted my elbow kinda deep a week ago Monday, banging it while plumbing (FUUUUUU) and just washed it off with water and slapped a bandage on it.
On Monday I noticed redness in my forearm and it was warm.
This is what is known in medical terminology as “a bad thing”.
I got a shot and am taking antibiotics now.
I don’t feel like it scott, but thank you.
Time for pig doodie. Early day tomorrow – back to work. Meh.
Later, taters.
>> I am aware of that, but not on elbows. Those suckers are normally sterile.
Well yeah, but I can actually scratch my balls with my elbow.
…
It’s a trick I learned.
*looks upthread, sees Scott’s comment*
Guess I owe ya a Coke, buddy –
*goes to refrigerator, looks to make sure Scott isn’t looking, shakes it up REAL good*
Here ya go!
It’s Day 10, so time to do the Amish Friendship bread.
Yippee….
“Well yeah, but I can actually scratch my balls with my elbow.”
WOW! I had never thought of that.

Dude, you have long arms. I can’t believe you’ve never even tried that.
My elbows are pointy.
>> My elbows are pointy.
Ah. I hadn’t considered that. The self-preservation instinct.
Sharp elbows make some people crazy. Morons mostly.
One Tree Hill was AMAZING!!!!!!!
where is xbrad!?!?!?!
Evenin’ all, what’s up?
I love Ace’s post on Lucas’ new movie “Red Tails”.
Gah…best laid plans…
Helped her with all the mixing, put it in greased and sugared pans, one minute into the oven and she remembers the pudding that is supposed to go into the mix.
Hey, Revvy
Revster – How you doing?
Hi Aggie, MCPO. I’m doing okay, how’s everyone here?
AH! I was wrong. The red, swollen area on my arm is half as big as it was yesterday!
SUCCESS!
I just heard the whole LSU football team is stuck in NOLA.
Apparently, someone painted a 50 yard line in front of their bus and they can’t get past it.
Dave has ebola, and MCPO is starving, Revvy.
Hey, I just got back from the bathroom. Anything exciting happen while I was gone?
“People are icky.”
Yes, yes they are.
Beasn, give her the cash with a heartfelt message in the card. She sounds like a good person. She’ll appreciate it and if she’s offended, well, I just can’t imagine.
No good deed goes unpunished. I don’t really believe that, but crap happens.
Whoever put up the header pic is awesome.
So, average Wednesday then, Aggie?
For the most part, Revvy.
Revvy!
How the heck are you?
No good deed goes unpunished. I don’t really believe that, but crap happens.
Not to sound cynical Mare but that is totally true
“Helped her with all the mixing, put it in greased and sugared pans, one minute into the oven and she remembers the pudding that is supposed to go into the mix.”
I don’t remember baking with you, Aggie.
Have I said hello this evening?
Hello Hostages and Hot Chicks!
MJ, oh MJ, MJ, MJ.
Howdy, Vmax!!
I don’t remember baking with you, Aggie.
Wait….we’ve met???
MCPO, how much weight have you lost?
I’m okay Mare
Working on typing up a bio for my manager at Staples to put on his website so maybe I can get some art-y type work 
Also, Hiya Vmax!
Back at ya Revvy and Mare.
MCPO use the Fabreze will ya!
Mare- I’m thinking about 15 lbs.
… I’m pretty sure my parents would be distressed to know that I find about half of the band members of Buckcherry attractive.
Which I myself don’t entirely understand, since the lead singer looks like a younger, heavily tattooed Willem Dafoe. And somehow makes it work.
Willem Dafoe is hawt
*feels really old for not knowing about Buckcherry*
I would hug MCPO but I’m afraid to squeeze him right now
I don’t think he has much left in him, Dave….
youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6pLKlU-8Q
There you go Aggie. Language warning though.
HAHAHA!!! Had to lower the volume
Yeah, I thought you could be empty too. Turns out, not so much.
DD and Count just left to go to Waffle House….which one of them is smoking pot?
MJ, oh MJ, MJ, MJ.
———————
Oh c’mon. That picture is hilarious.
Waffle House….which one of them is smoking pot?
Heh.
Um, I mean, that never really happens except in the movies.
which one of them is smoking pot?
Yes.
Anyone watching Face Off on SciFi?
I’ve actually never been to a waffle house.
I am Vmax.
Also Aggie, I love that song way too much. Think I’m gonna be shopping for some CDs tonight on amazon…
Good luck on your dealio tomorrow MCPO. Please make some sort of totally inappropriate joke to the doctor such as, “I’ve been practicing for this test with a rolling pin.”
Eats my waffle, reaaaaaal.. sloooooooow
Yes, good luck Chief, and in case we don’t see you tomorrow, Happy Birthday, Rotor Rooter Boy.
*gives hugs and smooches to MCPO*
I’ve actually never been to a waffle house.
I bet your avatard has
that’s a weird birthday gift Master Chief.
*eyes you suspiciously, like I do wiserbud
Cyn – I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to my birthday steak and eggs breakfast tomorrow!
and the fuse is lit!
If I might suggest MCPOO, no Tabasco or picante on those eggs tomorrow.
Just a thought.
I only know one Buckcherry song. I long distance dedicate it to all the hostagettes. I bet revvy can guess. The rest of you are prolly to old.
( I dint check revvy’s link…..she may have given it all away)
It’s your birthday MCPO; if you want hot sauce, you go for it!
mcpo- good luck tomorrow. xoxo Happy Birthday as well fibf
DaveinTejas – It was either that or a day that I had already planned to be out of town. Also, I watched “The Alamo” today. . . the one with Billy Bob as Davey Crockett.
Then I found $20.
SoHoS – *SMOOCH!*
I kinda liked that movie.
Anyway, fair winds. That’s a joke by the way, but be healthy.
Dave – I don’t eat eggs without hot sauce or picante. . . it just isn’t done!
The John Wayne “Alamo” movie was filmed in Mr. TiFW’s hometown.
I pray everything goes well, MCPO. And I do hope you enjoy your birthday!!
Did you bleach? It would be considerate.
Oh, and happy birthday you old salt.
Hello Hostages!
Revvy, please email me at miriam930, yahoo. I have some work for you if you are interested.
I only know one Buckcherry song. I long distance dedicate it to all the hostagettes.
This one?
http://youtu.be/77pb0WXAz-Q
Seriously, if you’re going to dedicate “Crazy Bitch” to me, make sure you get the one with the cuss words in it. No bleeps.
Did you bleach? It would be considerate.

Evening, Citizens.
Been a busy shift here at the center of all evil in the Airlift universe, but only an hour left!
Cyn: http://is.gd/3YjwHX
Howdy, phat!
Phat, I posted on airlift today at my place.
Nite.
Psssst MJ– http://is.gd/97B3vW
And sweet dreams!
Who do you like so far Revvy?
I think a chick is going to win this season.
YMMV.
Phat – Trash Haulers RULE!
When really all that counts is the size and firmness of their
breastsass.Fixeted for Brad
Goodnight, MJ.
Aggie, still waiting for your bikini pix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7CaTJ2SvG8&ob=av2e
Xbrad,
Nice Post!
Lots of pictures on the walls/halls here at AMC HQ of the C-46 and C-47 ‘Flying the Hump’ over to resupply China in WW2.
Or maybe they refer to some obscure role old airlifters play in the care and maintenence of Lauraw.
Hi Phat! or Col.
Who else here was watching the new BBC Sherlock?
http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/sherlock/
S2E2 is up.
You’ll have a loooong wait, WP
im still rocking with “A scandal in Belgravia”
Aggie, you underestimate yourself
Dunn, that was a pretty tasty episode. I’m gonna wait a couple days to savor this one.
Tonight is One Tree Hill night.
MCPO,
Sadly, I’m not a trashlauler anymore.
Now that I’m in the DV-lift world, I consider myself more in the ‘asshole-delivery business’.
Brad, i am really impressed with the BBC this go round
Did anyone’s team lose to the #9 team today, when they shouldn’t have?
So, a lower form of trash?
Roamy – give me a bit and I’ll send one off to ya
Vmax – I’m ‘eh’ about it… I wasn’t really impressed with the guy who won the foundation challenge (good execution but not much going for it so far as creativity is concerned).
I also wasn’t as much of a fan of the lion on the guys’ team as the judges were. Rib cage looked fake as Hell to me. The witch the girls had was awesome though.
Lemme know when they get makeup to look as good as Tiger Cyn’s avatardl.
Revvy
I was rooting for last seasons winner. This season I am up in the air.
I did think the Chicks were better than the dudes.
Definitely, Vmax. And yeah, I loved the guy who won last season.
Phat – They did that to me in England. Ended up wearing a Sierra Hotel blue zoom bag with a gold dickie. It was embarrassing. . . but, the R.O.N.s weren’t too bad.
xbrad have you watched OTH yet???
