Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I found this classic picture of Vmax on the web.
We like our hawt men, whether chillin’ on the beach,
on the boat,
or getting ready for the office.
We like teh alpha male.
or maybe that cowboy hero (in assless chaps).
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day!

Outstanding job, Roamy. Don’t you think No. 1. up there is gonna smell like wet dog all day?
wow, gab beat us all.
This poat almost makes me want to start cutting again (weight, you fools). Haven’t seen my abs in awhile.
*looks at recent personal record lifts*
*ponders*
Oh well, visible abs are for models.
ROAMY NAILED IT!
Get your minds out of the gutter, whores!
Work time.
I think people underestimate the level of leech the Obama’s have reached. Even with the bad press, the obvious questions about lavish vacations when 15% of the population is not working, when Obama himself has talked about sacrifice over and over, they still live like KINGS AND QUEENS.
Yep, this. He whines like a bitch when questioned about it (Hey, i’m raising a family here) as if the rest of us aren’t doing similar.
It’s called compassion, you muthafocker. I know all those hollywood folks you like to rub elbows with are living large and not imposing austerity measures in their own lives, but they’re not living off our DIME.
I had a harder time than usual finding some good ones last night. My usual website had guys with those big grommet-looking earrings. Gross.
Vman and Mr. Green shorts are looking for me at the beach.

I’m listening to Carmina Burana whiile perusing today’s HHD, and it’s rather appropriate, because the piece is a tad randy in bits.
Sadly #1 is not me, I had a moustache when I was that hot. That must be Zekes grandad though.
Roamy, this HHD is great!

Your diligence is appreciated Roamy. No grommet ears PLS!!! Yuck.
Mr. Cowboy knows what I like, a flask, no shirt and a strong face.

Joe Kennedy III is insane too. That’s certifiable via his genes.

There’s a Facedouche page of “Ginger Gays”, and I just couldn’t bring myself to “like” so I could see the pics. Sorry.

A lot of the negatives that are thrown at Romney from the left, and quite frankly from the right, seem to apply equally to Obama. The difference that I see, and I’m extremely biased, is that Obama is condescending, aloof, and entitled. I don’t really get that from Romney, which may actually help him with people who actually work.
Sure, he looks like your boss, but at least he worked. I dunno I’m kind of spit balling here trying to find differences in temperament between the two.

Yeah. I'm at the age where I prize retard strength over 4% bodyfat. I'm past my blast furnace metabolism days and am not willing to go on the draconian diet needed to cut like that.
Funny – I saw a picture of me in college recently: skinny as hell, six pack abs and living on beer and Camel Lights with no exercise. We need to redefine either "wages" or "sin" because I think I was getting the wrong message.
So the secret service is looking into Ted Nugent’s rant yet decided to totally ignore a MOVIE about killing G. W. Bush.
Maybe Ted knows some whores?
Heh, Pup. I guess it helps as distraction from the secret service and their own BBF in South America.
Ted, meet the whores. Whores, this is Ted Nugent.

Sure, he looks like your boss
My boss gave me a job.
I’ve got ducks in my pool! A male and female pair of mallards. Probably migrating and just needed a break.
They are cute. I have decided not to shoot them.
Poor Barky, and the dog story.
Ha. That’s funny Michael.
But, pics or it didn’t happen.
You know the rules.
The male is really impressive with his glossy green head.
I’m afraid they will fly away if I go out there to take a pic.
Right now they are under the puking lions.
I am resisting the temptation to give them a shower.
Dang, they are so cute, swimming around together.
The female is smaller and not colorful like the male, but she has beautiful eyes and a fringe of white tailfeathers. You can tell that she is capable of some pretty hot sex.
The ducks are gone. The excitement is over.
I can go back to crying softly to myself over my tax return.
Wonder if the recent revelations regarding BHO’s dietary decisions has TAGNASH worried?
Michael quit scaring people off you creep!
She’ll leave him for an Argentine Lake Duck in a heartbeat. That tramp.
Morning, ladies!

The only reason I come here is to be a creep and scare people off. You should know that by now.

lauraw/scottw: You probably shouldn’t watch this one.
Hmm, think the moderate Democrats still like being referred to as “Blue Dogs”? Maybe it’s threatening now, in the current climate of discourse.

Not to mention the VERY loose cannon DrewM. Heh.
Agiledog, have you been eaten lately? If not, why not?
Well, DrewM never slums here, so I didn’t mention it
What I find hilarious about this entire dog-eating episode is that the admission is in Obama’s book..
basically proving that no one on BHO’s team has ever read BHO’s book, or they would have known better than to start down this path…..
It’s too bad the chart at Ace’s wasn’t a header pic first. That one is classic.
They step in it all the time, wiser. The media just can’t cover this one up.
They step in it all the time, wiser. The media just can’t cover this one up.
But Axlerod’s a political genius, right? He would never knowingly make this sort of mistake, would he?
No one ever really read Obama’s books except the research teams for Beck, Breitbart, and Limbaugh.
Then again, Barky didn’t read his own book either. Or write it, so there’s that.
I think they’re going to have a harder time with the campaign considering they don’t have Hillary to copy.

Wiener?
But Axlerod’s a political genius, right? He would never knowingly make this sort of mistake, would he?
He’s already working on a way to blame Bush for it. Like a chess player, he is.
They already went “for the children”, they might as well go for the “Bush’s Fault!” angle too.
I sorta think ‘Axelrod’s Mustache’ would make a nice twitter feed.
I think we’ve really lost the high ground when we have to stoop to attacking Obama for a book that he wrote when he was only in his early thirties.
Obama did too read his book. he narrated teh audio version.
I wish I had a pencil-thin mustache, the Boston Blackie kind. . .

Ha ha ha … from Treacher :
“If you like your dachshund, you can eat your dachshund.”
Also from Treacher:
Why did Romney put his dog on top of his car? To keep it away from Obama.
I spent part of my childhood on Taiwan. My hubby said I finally have something in common with Obama. He has been telling the doxies that I want to eat them with chinese mustard for years.
Sean, I’m not even sure Obama wrote that book.
Also, HI!!
Wouldn’t they be better with a nice ginger sauce, oso?
Hi, Aggs. Are you suggesting that Bill Ayers actually ate that dog?
My oldest dachshund is named Ginger. Everyone knows weiner dogs taste batter with mustard.
Are you suggesting that Bill Ayers actually ate that dog?
*looks at pic of Bernadine Dohrn*
It would explain many, many things.
Better, not batter. Really getting tired of being too lazy to wait and make sure autocorrect hasn’t changed my word choice.
Mmmmmm…weiner dogs with batter and mustard.
Oh, man, the deep fried doxies on a stick you get at the fair… heaven. Too bad you can only get them once a year.
Awww: Dick Clark dead at 82
Ginger is pretty meaty. MaryAnn is lean and stringy. Our Amah said that Jan/Feb were good months for dog. Rest of the year we were probably eating cat. I was an adult before I realized I ate beef skewers off carts and I never saw a cow. My friends have tried to convince me we were eating water buffalo. They are in denial.
I just saw that, Cyn. The guy was never quite the same after that stroke.
Here’s a $26 dog
http://tinyurl.com/cat3ppz
He was only 82? Man. The last few years were hard on him. I would have guessed he was 90.
Wasn’t he newly married?
I always found it funny that Dick Clark, a very nice person from all accounts, played the last villain featured in Perry Mason.
Carin – The stroke wiped him out pretty hard. Third wife married 1977.
I suddenly feel a little bit older.

10$ Colosimo dogs at Isotopes games. Jalapenos on hot dogs are yummy. Green chile is better. Where is MCPO? American Bandstand should have been a local show for him growing up. I remember the Motown v. Philly wars. I’m old. 20$

Much like Beck, I have thought something is not right about 11 Secret Service members being so reckless.
Also, how many carbs in a deep fried doxie?
Scott – that photo is a fake. Everyone knows you remove the ears and use them as desert cups when serving dog.

They didn’t have TV yet when he was growing up.

I’m so sorry for you. Couldn’t afford an actual computer, huh?
So how do you take a shower, MJ?
Oh, wait. I think I understand now. Poor Mrs. MJ.
Mare, it depends on the breading. Dog is very low carb. I hate to admit how yummy dog was. Mustard is a free food. Like celery or cucumber.
I’m not opposed to eating dog. I’m opposed to idiots making a huge issue of Romney putting the dog on top of the car (and the dog came out perfectly fine) and THEN pretending Obama eating dog is not an issue.
Exactly!!! I think that a dog in a crate on top of a station wagon was the East Coast equivalent to a dog in the back of a pickup truck out west. I have RL friends that have been posting the Romney story for months. You will never find more liberal peeps than kids who attended American schools overseas. I love destroying the PETA people narrative.
cucumber is a free food? winning!

Yeah, it didn’t end well in Vacation, did it? So things could be worse.

A cucumber doesn’t ask you if that was the most incredible time ever.
Am I doing this game right?
Well! You wimmens sure know alot about cucumbers.
In Vacation, I thought they tied the dog to the back bumper and the dead grandma to the roof.
You always know where your cucumber has been.
Well, I’m off to go grocery shopping – for my wife.

Holy crap – ya get one nasty virus on your computer, and you spend the rest of the day with tech support reloading the whole damn thing.
Hopefully we got everything squared away.
How can something like that be so exhausting?
The worst part of all that is that I missed all of the fun around here and at Ace’s place.
God, you people make me laugh…..
Computer viruses do suck. Knock on wood, it’s been seven years for me. Norton/Symantec is for shit. Been using Panda flawlessly ever since.
Used to come home from school to watch American Bandstand out of Philly. Kids from high schools all over South Jersey auditioned to appear on the show. Varying degrees of lip-synching talents were displayed by headline acts, but it was really about the music, the dancing and the fashions.
RIP Dick Clark and thanks for the fun.
Good evening , fine people.
WTF are you doing with your cucumbers?
*looks at baby cucumbers
Size does matter. Just saying.
Evening, dumpster divers.
Yes. Who wants small cucumbers?
Now those little baby corns are another story. Cuuuuute!
I checked the Dead Pool. Nobody gets dick.
I kept waiting for that fireman from Teresa’s update to take his shirt off. Boooo!
Take me out to the ballgame…later H2.
Woot! Have fun, Osita.

Okay, the fireman is shirtless for like three seconds at 1:07.

I need some carb-free chips and salsa!
ah shit Chief, you too? I went carbless this weekend.
My body is still in “OH HELLSNO” mode.
Dave – I need to drop some pounds and the no carb/low carb seems to work for me, but it sucks.
Crazy talk!
Hoping no carb/lo carb will work for me, too, Chief.
I guess I’ll have rice and pasta for supper.
So, the job beasnson has interviewed for? They made him an offer today. The starting salary is very good, 401k, affordable health costs. He has two weeks to give his answer and if he accepts, we move him to the other city at the end of May.
I am so psyched for him as I cry on the inside.
CLINTBIRD, how far are you from K.C.?
Well, crap. Rice, pasta, and a slab of bread. Scott, help me take up the slack here.
Too bad he didn’t get that offer here. He could live with us, and sock away the moneys for a house.
BEER!
Skinny bitch! Everyone else in this house does the same thing. Mr. RFH sits next to me on the couch, chomping on Doritos or potato chips to his heart’s content. Last time he cooked dinner, it was ravioli.
Doritos are chemical bombs, roamy. YOu don’t need them. I can’t have them either. Or ravioli. Potato chips….I only eat low salt Lays IF and WHEN I buy them…they are soooooo good.
>> I am so psyched for him as I cry on the inside.
It is the way, of things. My girls are on their own too.
One of my goals that I’m continuing from last year is finding meaningful ways to stay close to my adult children. A friend suggested that I get a bunch of cards, and send one with handwritten notes, not too often, and not on a regular schedule, just “every once in a while”, tell them “I was thinking of you today” and add some remembrance, or “I didn’t have a reason, I was just thinking of you.” Tell em how proud I am of them, which is so easy to do, and that I love them.
There’s something about getting a handwritten note, not like a phone call or an email. On occasions they’ve called me and just said “I really needed this today” or “you made my day.” I’ve even had occasions where their roommates pulled me aside and told me how the girls had to share them, and tell me it meant so much to them.
Anyway, it’s a good practice and I intend to keep it up. I love em.
Carbs is my biggest food group. If it weren’t for carbs I would fade away.
Dave, absolutely I will find ways to stay close.
Oh….oh, he also gets a signing bonus. AND, I do believe he will be close to clintbird’s neck of the woods.
Beasn, I know I don’t need them, but to smell them, and hear “NOM NOM NOM NOM” makes it that much harder to say no.
Carbs? I need carbs. I can’t just eat a hunk of meat (SYWM) for dinner. Protein plus carbs = blood sugar not crashing.
If it weren’t for carbs I would fade away.
True. You’re almost as skinny as Mr. RFH.
and hear “NOM NOM NOM NOM” makes it that much harder to say no.
Gives me the shits and a bellyache. Makes it easier. Now I hear popcorn is a healthy snack. Just don’t overdo the oil or salt.
Lolo fed it to me,
And I did my best to ignore,
That it had just licked my face,
Only the day before

My favorite Humpday poem so far.
Not eating any carbs for a while, not even popcorn. I gotta lose this weight.

Of nubile thighs, and wanton cans
And caverns measureless to man

Reminds me…yesterday a cop was chasing someone on a crotch rocket, who was speeeeeeeddinng way fast. He somehow got ahead of him and tried to cut him off. The guy on the cycle hit him and exploded.

You really didn’t have to do that. I’ll find a road or trail or something. But thanks.

I found that I can eat carbs like potatoes (so potato chips are not as much of a problem as corn chips); it’s the grains that cause the most problems.
Beasn – is it a particular type of Doritos that causes problems?
We were surprised to learn that Nacho Cheese Doritos have wheat in them, but Cool Ranch Doritos are OK on a GFD.
Of course, if you have a milk allergy, neither one of those is gonna be good…..

Zein (wiki)
Zein is one of the best understood plant proteins[1] and has a variety of industrial and food uses.[2][3] Historically, it has been used in the manufacture of a wide variety of commercial products, including coatings for paper cups, soda bottle cap linings, clothing fabric,[4] buttons, adhesives, coatings and binders. The dominant historical use of zein was in the textile fibers market where it was produced under the name “Vicara”.[2][5] With the development of synthetic alternatives, the use of zein in this market eventually disappeared. By using electrospinning, zein fibers have again been produced in the lab, where additional research will be performed to re-enter the fiber market.[6][7] Pure zein is clear, odorless, tasteless, hard, water-insoluble, and edible, making it invaluable in processed foods and pharmaceuticals, in competition with insect shellac. It is now used as a coating for candy, nuts, fruit, pills, and other encapsulated foods and drugs. In the United States, it may be labeled as “confectioner’s glaze” (which may also refer to shellac-based glazes) and used as a coating on bakery products[8] or as “vegetable protein.” It is classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Look up shellac sometime ChrisP
It is edible
Bug Juice Yum!
I have to agree w/TiFW. Watching the explosion on Twitter today was a gas.
The Axlerod throws out “The Dog On The Roof”, and the right immediately comes back with “At least he didn’t eat him.”
Then it got rockin’, but with hate from the left and with humor from the right.
Looks like folks had a lot of fun with it. Well, conservatives did…
Too late, MJ, I’m already determined.

So you couldn’t afford a TV either, huh? The kids’ college fees must be killing you…
My kids are outta college, gradumated, and paid for. Also off the payroll.
Life is good.
Got a co-worker in the same situation, Dave. He also has two daughters. Both are still on the cell phone plan, and one is still on their car insurance, otherwise they are independent wimmen. I congratulated him on his success as a parent.
And yet you still have to buy a rinky-dink small screen POS instead of a real computer and TV?
AD – You must have missed the phrase, “out on the deck”?!
Cheif,
Do you have a Wi-Fi router on your LAN that the iPad runs on when at home, or is it using cellular bandwidth? I don’t know anything about how that stuff works.
My laptop works on my deck. And when I’m on the deck, I don’t want to watch TV. And my stereo is more than loud enough to hear on thye deck.
I still don’t know why this fucking thing lets me miss-spell Chief. No way, no how…
Both of mine are on the insurance and cell deals, but they send me quarterly checks to cover their deal.. it’s just savin them money.
But I miss the days when they were posing in the yard in little Easter dresses and bonnets and stuff.

ChrisPy – I use the wireless LAN.
Up early for a video conf with China – night, window lickers.
Obama: Unlike some people I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Me: That’s because you started sucking on the golden govt teat and never stopped.
Hello, Hostages.
Herself is helping me. She made breakfast cups; eggs, spinach and BACON!
Really?
Really?
Yes. Really. Hello.
G Mohawk,
Sure would be interesting to see college stuff regarding “Foreign Student” Soetoro and financial aid, IYKWIMAITYD.
Bacon Pie.
I got myself some pork steaks for breakfast for the rest of the week, along with some jumbo free-range eggs.
Porkchop for lunch tomorrow. . .
IKWYM Chris. I do know for sure he got a sponsored to that private high school in Hawaii from somewhere. But yeah, single mom, minority, etc etc up until he started receiving a politicians salary and he decides this tax money is somehow more noble than a family providing for someone.
As I typed that my wife walked in and said “hey we got our govt assistance check today” meaning our tax refund sans interest from the govt. LOL
Obama lacks the capacity for real work necessary to provide for a family. Hustling is the totatility of his ability. In a just world, he’d be a pool shark and have already had his elbows broken for tangling with the wrong cat.
G-Mo – Ain’t it a cozy game they play with your money! And yet, they still can’t spend less than we give them.
I could slash govt. spendingovernight.
Just declare that next year’s budget is only 90% of FY2008. But that any money not spent, Dems get to pocket.
Xbrad, I would be afraid they just might cut all military spending and call it good.
Heya Peeps– I got an update on WPDunn’s fancy-schmancy pacemaker surgery today…
Bad news is every time i fart, the tv changes channels
It’s not just me anymore!

Thanks Cyn.
Bedtime.
Got a special recipe for the bacon, egg, and spinach cups, MCPO?

Who you targeting? And shit?
Hooray for Krow!
Obama and the “AA” program just “GIVES” credentials to those that could not, other-wise, earn them.
It’s a total sham, and has resulted in us having a “Royal Family” that can live-large, as if they were King and Queen, on the tax-payers dollar.
The SCoaMF continually talks of “Shared Sacrafice” while he takes unlimited vacations all over the world at our expense. Sick of it, I am…
I heard that the Obams kids were lookin’ for BO today, after they heard that there was gonna be “Chicken Poodle” soup tonight.
Sweety dreams Leon.

My goal for April 15 is to either receive a very small refund or write a small check. Not give them too much of OUR money. Bastages.
Cyn – I have no recipe. . . I have Herself.
A real rebel!

Yep. It makes me want to drink myself silly some days and only watch TVLand instead of Fox News.
My goal for April 15 is to either receive a very small refund or write a
small checkcheck for 4700+. Not give them too much of OUR money.To fuckin late homeslice. I done mailed the shit.
I should get me a “Herself”.
Do you/she scramble the eggs with some spinach and dish into pre-cooked bacon cups that were done in a muffin tin in the oven? Dammit, man, I need details! Or at least some hints!
I am usually pretty close and write a small check, but a couple little changes last year and I ended up in the govt forced savings program.

Mohawk, here’s my deal……..
I expected to pay the mofucks. (correct spelling anshit)
But one daughter who lived w me 24/7/365 made to much money for me to count her as a dependent and then the other daughter had to damned good ascholarship to claim her.
$7400 in exemptions………gone.
this one looks good Cyn, although I prefer aspargus to spinich.

I haven’t been able to get very close to small check/refund for a few years now, GMo. Our boys are still young and we have a shared rental property that gives us refunds.
Still, as much as it pains us, it’s better to owe than be refunded.

vegetarianism combined w apathy kilt this bitch. And she anit’ comin’ back.
PG, you might want to double check the one with the scholarship. That usually doesn’t count towards the support test.
That does look like a good recipe, GMo. I might have sauteed the spinach with a bit of the bacon grease.
Behold: Bacon Cups …with mac n cheese: http://is.gd/TgKsSx
yo andy, checkin’ a specialist rat now. Andshit.
Snickerpoodles.
Nice Cyn, my little girl would freak on that. She is a bacon and mac fiend.
Since we claimed both kids, and the one was able to get us a better refund due to the amount of tuition he paid, we transferred that cash to his account (which he would have gotten had he claimed himself).
It’s good to have a little cash on hand when you graj-ee-ate college.
Cyn – She pre-cooks the bacon and crumbles it. Uses beaten eggs and a box of frozen spinach. Pours the mixture into cupcake thingies and then bakes them.

making bacon cups isn’t exactly simple.
Gnight, all.

bring on the late shift.
Interesting, Cyn. I’ve used Norton 360 for years now and have NEVER had a problem.
Huh, fireman dude is a little narrow in the shoulders.
Just observing.
Not eating any carbs for a while, not even popcorn. I gotta lose this weight.
Life without popcorn is not worth living.
Just go to the cemetary and lay down until someone buries you.

Got a nice nosebleed this morning. It was either the dirty eating or the cocaine I don’t remember doing.
It’s a real shame, I’d want to remember doing cocaine.
Also, tinnitus.

Everybody does it .
Maybe your wife punched you? How come you haven’t considered that?
Everyone who lives directly on taxpayer dollars? Yeah. That or they coast through life in do-almost-nothing jobs for more pay than earned.
I’d remember being punched in the face. I only forget fun things.
Obama, in his stump speech yesterday in Detroit, bragged about Osama Bin Laden.
He’s such a fucking asshole.
My “tick” has acquired the f bomb.
Maybe it was fun. I don’t know how kinky you two are.
“I’ve had this job for 3+ years, remember that one day I actually did it?”
Slapping and spanking can be fun, punching is abuse. Dem’s da rules.
My little chickens are going to need a bigger space soon. I’ve never kept 18 in that bin before. Yikes. They’re flying all over it.
“Oh hey, and remember how the plan I okayed was the much riskier option and lost us some stealth helicopter technology? I’m just that gutsy.”
You can forgive him for that Leon he succeeded, what is unforgivable is giving the russians our ABM specifications. According to democrats it doesn’t work and is foolish.
I could use the T word with ease
It succeeded, but we lost a heli. It never needed to be at risk. Then we gave away the drone and the ABM specs. Obama doesn’t know fuckall about tech and doesn’t have a clue what he’s giving away.
Our technological superiority is a large part of why we have so little loss of life. How we do what we do is the sort of secret you absolutely DO NOT hand out. Anyone who’s earned a clearance knows that.
Along with plenty of people who haven’t . But, of course, not this jackass, who sees Jeff Immelt as some sort of Court Wizard.
My little chickens are going to need a bigger space soon. I’ve never kept 18 in that bin before. Yikes. They’re flying all over it.
Mine are flying pretty good too. Growing fast and eating a ton. I let them outside for some exercise yesterday and they had fun running around and digging and such.
Reading about taxes has just ruined my morning.
Imagine how this administration is stocking the the different agencies with their minions.
Sound like a conspiracy and you don’t like that? Too bad.

Mr. Carin: I really appreciate you all spending time with my wife. We get so few visitors anymore.
Carin: *brief seizure* CAAAAAAAACK!
Scott: (to Mr. Carin) I’m glad our wives can be friends right now.
Mr. Carin: (looks over shoulder at lauraw way out by the lake, sitting in the mud and twitching and eating mud and occasionally shouting something) Yeah…no. Sorry. Keep that thing away from my wife.

Someone kick Michael in the nads for me, please.
Heh, good morning Vmax!
OK, gotta get ready for another wonderful day.

Happily. Don’t tell me why. I don’t really need another reason.
