Welcome, welcome
And almost Hoosier-free!
Oso, I decorated their cake and I paid for it with cash. It was my gift to her. I could not bring myself to get them something and his greasy ass use it or try to return it.
He sat in the break room and said he was going to take back gifts on their registry and get the cash or the expensive shit HE really wants
.
That made other workers rethink their gift giving. (when they were scanning items, she scanned everyday stainless steelware, he scanned ‘silver’ ware – the expensive stuff one has to polish regularly. They got neither.)
I lived in a primarily urban county of Indiana, but there were any number of people that reveled in being hillbilly white trash.
Look, proud of your heritage is great if you overcame hardship. Proud of being a no account bum… not so much.
Hoosiers are some of the prettiest, smartest, and friendliest people I know.
Beasn, I figured you came through on the cake. You’re “good people”. I just find it funny that there are local colloquialisms for “white trash”.
Smart thinking on your gift, Beasn. At least many got to enjoy it for a while.
Cyn, Hoosier doesn’t =Hoosier. It’s a weird Midwestern thing.
I spent half my life in the midwest and never heard that one. Old dog new tricks.
Good looking crew – If I do say so myself!
http://flic.kr/p/c3f4Wo
Maybe I should have said it’s a Missouri thang…
Chief, look at all that hair!!!
Thanks, my other idea was a gift card to TX Roadhouse since they are nickel and diming themselves broke by eating out all the time.
The coworker who did the set up and cooking, did the gift card idea as she feels the same way as myself. (she was going to give the bride the eating ware she really really wanted, but was afraid asshole was going to bully her into taking it back.)
Very nice looking, MCPO.
Good looking crew – If I do say so myself!
You should be very proud, they are indeed!
People in St Louis use the term hoosier a lot. I remember my friends always used it as a pejorative.
So is there some other slang that I’ve missed, being the sweet innocent that I am?
OK, he is an ass. I bet she is nice, smart, pretty, and has a great sense of humor.
Cyn – “Slack-jawed skylark”?
I have found a movie on Netflix titled (I’m not kidding):
“Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge”
I’ll let you know how it turns out. I’m like 24 seconds in and I’m already enthralled.
We always called them “MJ’s”.
MJ – did you make your destination and have you started drinking diversely yet?
MJ… glass does travel. If you aren’t certain you got it all you should probably have it looked at. I had a hunk of glass in my foot for a about 15 years. It was in the ball of my foot and only hurt when I pressed a finger on it. It disappeared one day. I don’t know where it is now but it isn’t where it used to be.
#1Son has a slight “Oh, shit, what did I do?” look on his face.
The girls are cute as buttons!
I bet she is nice, smart, pretty, and has a great sense of humor.
She is nice, she has a sense of humor and likes to laugh, she is laid back, she is tall/very thin/bit of a hunch in her back, she is uneducated, her teeth are better than his, she’s not really pretty as noone is in their store ‘uniform’, though she was very pretty in her wedding gown, she has bad taste in men (could be because of low self esteem or something).
These headaches are fucking killing me.
*up twinkles Pupster and scritches his belly*
I have friends from WV that are very sensitive to being from “WV”. I was born in San Diego so I make fun of Zoners.
I don’t know where it is now but it isn’t where it used to be.
GET OUT! THE GLASS IS INSIDE THE HOUSE!
MJ – did you make your destination and have you started drinking diversely yet?
———————–
i just got to the hotel. No drinking this week.
>> DiT, people in MO call White Trash “Hoosiers”.
That’s like people in Mississippi callin people from Alabama “pigfuckers”.
But I digress. It always meant “people from Indiana” to me. I actually think I first heard the expression in the movie “M*A*S*H”, or maybe the series, Col. Black was a grad of Indiana. “Hoosier” etymology was something along the lines of “Oh, you’re from Indiana? Who’s your mom, who’s your dad?” etc.
Also, I just finished an anime series called Ghost Hound. It’s an X-files-ish supernatural drama, but on two separate occasions global warming came up in the plot, and was roundly dismissed with “no real evidence that higher CO2 = warming” and “in ancient times, the world was much warmer and there was a lot more CO2, and life flourished”.
It was magical. I had tears.
Time for bed for me. Goodnight my hoosiery white trashy friends
Beasn, I work with a cute girl at Sam’s who is missing a tooth. She is having relationship issues and I am trying to be the voice of reason. Yet I obsess about her dental challenges.
Black Russians MJ.
G’night, Sohos! (Still laughing at DiT pigfuckers comment)
When I lived in Goshen, Indiana, I got the local paper for awhile. It had a full page dedicated to NASCAR, a weekly “prep for citizenship” column for the Messicans, and I cut out a “Bontraeger-Bontraeger” wedding announcement. There were 4 parents listed, thankfully, but the town only had 3 last names.
No drinking this week.
You’re doin’ it wrong.
Col. Blake I meant.
MJ… glass does travel.
————————-
If it still hurts when I get back, I’ll go to our dermatologist. This is kind of gross, but I could hear the needle kind of picking at the glass, but then it stopped. I don’t know if I got it out or if I pushed it further in.
In my Dad’s younger years, he went through the windshield of a car. 25 years later, little pieces of glass still worked it’s way out of his forehead.
“You’re doin’ it wrong.”
It’s diversity training Cyn. We should be more sympathetic towards these losers.
I consider mi familia the “Mexican Hillbillies”. We have more in common with the Clampetts than any stereotypical Hispanic you could come up with. We still make fun of Okies.
Black Russians MJ.
————————–
Now see, that’s just clever right there.
Leon, isn’t Goshen Mennonite central?
You lived in Goshen? No shit.
My dad’s family is from Milford, one stop light and two stop signs in the whole town. Goshen was ‘the city’ for Milford.
You have a point, Scott. Patience and training are obviously needed here.
In the thriving metro area that is Moody Texas, one flashing stop light and two count em two hardware stores, the local DQ had cards on the table that said “Things To Do in Moody”
When you flipped it over, it said “You’re doing em”
*clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop*
BANG! BANG!
*clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop*
/amish drive-by
Are you trying to behave, MJ, ya know, because of the warrants they have for you there?
Leon, isn’t Goshen Mennonite central?
Yes indeedy. Wal-Mart had covered hitching posts for Amish wagons, too.
Seriously MJ, it does travel. There is a hunk of glass somewhere inside me.
It’s probably nothing, but it could be something.
25 years later, little pieces of glass still worked it’s way out of his forehead.
Very common outcome in old crashes. I knew a guy this happened too, as well. Nice thing about the forehead; it’s backed by bone and the glass doesn’t travel far.
The rule I learned about splinters is, wood and plastic fester out / metal and glass travel. I’d hazard that with my work past, I have had quite a few very small slivers of mild steel get under my skin, but they were tiny enough to corrode before they did me any sharp harm.
However, I don’t understand how Scott’s glass shard could have traveled out of the ball of his foot without him feeling it. I sincerely doubt it could have gone anywhere further than the heel, because of all the bones and tendons in the way. Maybe it got enveloped in scar tissue close to where it first landed.
I seem to recall that my grandmother got glass in her foot and it took ten years to work it’s way out.
Are you trying to behave, MJ, ya know, because of the warrants they have for you there.
——————————-
No, it’s not that. I just don’t generally hang out with work people. It’s taken me years to cultivate perceptions that are 100% false, so I’m not going to jeopardize it now.
If you’re going to get glass in you, a foot or hand is a good place for it. Trap that shit. Can be painful, but very unlikely to ever reach your internal organs and fuck you up that way.
I hit a steering wheel and then a windshield with my forehead in 1979. For years after, on occasion the scar would get itchy and swollen, and a little piece would work it’s way out. Last one was around 1990 or so, youngest was a baby.
Weird.
Hahaha. I have a scar on my wrist that has a little shard of metal in it. I haven’t looked at it in years. Still there.
Goshen, of all places, actually had a very nice airshow.
It’s taken me years to cultivate perceptions that are 100% false, so I’m not going to jeopardize it now.
Just remember that the rose goes in the front, big guy.
MJ, what color glass do you have in your foot RIGHT NOW?
What kind of metal, MJ?
It took almost 40 years for a piece of pencil lead to work its way out of my knee.
It’s taken me years to cultivate perceptions that are 100% false, so I’m not going to jeopardize it now.
Your coworkers think you’re a tall heterosexual who dresses well?
I had a hot date in spite of myself.
Here’s my brilliant pick-up line (Xbrad can use it too):
‘Hi, I’m a mouth breather with flop sweat.’
Come to think of it, that lesbian bartender was paying an extraordinary amount of attention to MJ.
My old man was listed as MIA for 8 months in Korea. When he escaped the Chinese/NORKS and made his way back to UN lines, he had several rounds in his body courtesy of this bad boy: http://tinyurl.com/7wag7rj
In 1986, he complained about pain in his buttocks. . . Yup, part of a 7.62X54mm round had worked it’s way to just below the surface of his skin.
HHD hot, Jewstin?
Here’s my brilliant pick-up line (Xbrad can use it too):
‘
Hi, I’m a mouth breather with flop sweat.’Does this rag smell like ether to you?
Nearly. Except with love handles instead of abs. And he’s only as tall as my chin. And he’s a scary black dude.
That’s amazing, MCPO; all those years later.
MJ, what color glass do you have in your foot RIGHT NOW?
—————————-
Clear and black.
Stupid pain in the ass North Koreans…
What kind of metal, MJ?
——————————–
I’m guessing aluminum, but I’m not really sure. Is this the reason I get awesome cell phone reception and I pee my pants when I stand next to a microwave?
Chief, one of my Buckeye Uncles was still shedding WWII metal in the 70s. It was weird. His hands were full of metal. Kind of OT, in 1969 I had a school window fall on me. 3 hours of glass extraction. No scars. I have no memory of it. Last year on FB a friend from Jr High was talking about riding her bike and going through a taxi window. I remember riding bikes with her but have no memories of going with her to the Navy Hospital while glass was extracted. Memory is a weird thing. Oh look, 20$
Cyn – He had a good laugh about it, claiming that he had been shot in the ass in 2 wars and how could they be sure which war it was from!
Is this the reason I get awesome cell phone reception and I pee my pants when I stand next to a microwave?
I doubt it. Usually to get these kinds of symptoms you would have to have a large number of inorganic objects stored in your rectum.

This sounds like a great story. Please remind me to ask you about it at Lafagpalooza.
>> Just remember that the rose goes in the front, big guy.
Best line ever.
*sharts three pellets of uranium*
MJ has a metal plate in his head?
Hey, MJ! What’s the word from Alpha Centauri?

Like Hot Wheels? I’m asking for a friend.
MCPO – I’ll bet those fragments did a number on the credit cards in his wallet. Credit to Infinity.
Hey, MJ! What’s the word from Alpha Centauri?

The word is Xur.
MJ, Chief’s story could be a Christmas movie! I know I’ve cried twice!
Like Hot Wheels? I’m asking for a friend.
*covers eyes, sticks fingers in ears*
lalalalalalalala I see nothing lalalalalalalala
Hey Cyn—I’m 100% serious about this: One of my strategies to pick up girls was to ignore them. Just be really quiet, catch their eye every once in a while, but generally pretend they don’t exist.
Xur. . . ZOMFG!!! I CAN’T FIND IT ON MY DECODER RING!
SHELTER IN PLACE!!!eleventy!!1
Oh sorry, MJ; were you saying something?
Chicks. Can’t live with em. Can’t kidnap em and keep em in the basement.
That’s really pretty smart, MJ. Chicks is easy.
I hear.
Why is Cyn ignoring me? I don’t understand. I put on my ‘fuck me’ skirt, and I’m wearing sexy high heels. I just don’t understand why she won’t buy me a drink.
Can’t kidnap em and keep em in the basement.
Duh. You keep em in the kitchen.
Seriously, you can’t do that basement thing right? Big no-no?
Ok, bedtime for me.
BAD DAVE! BAD!
Did you hear something? Yes… oh… http://is.gd/9DmYNy
Cyn has the rule book. You might see if there’s an exception for cellars.
We’ve got a slab foundation. Any suggestions?
Well hell, I ain’t got a cellar anyhow.
Sweet nighties, MJ
That basement thing is some how related to fire codes ‘n shit. Who makes these rules anyways?!
fuckin bullshit if you ask me
I’m off to bed. Thanks for all of the support the last couple of weeks. I love you all. . . except for Wiser and Wiserbud, of course.
No cellar, slabs… *flips thru book, finds page, scans down*
Attic with vent fan. Done and done.
Did I miss Little Debbie’s homecoming?
Nighty sweetness to you, Chief Papa.
Thanks HQ. Johnny Carson farewell show 20 years ago today. Not sure if y’all saw sky’s tweet but her contemporaries consider her a movie maven.
Jew, yes. And pics. You missed pics.
Aww. Now I’m going to get carpal tunnel in my scrolling finger.
Good evening Citizens!
After some time out in the sun I’m hoping to reset my body clock. After 3 12-hr midnight shifts in a row it’s a struggle.
Will play a bit of Skyrim and then try and finish ‘Drestroyermen’ a book I got from one of Ace’s Sunday book threads.
So far it’s good, but I don’t think MCPO would like it. A distinct lack of aviation and buggery in the first 3/4.
Totally. Worth it.
That’s a fine looking family, MCPOpa. Kudos.
Phat, I’ve got that series. Is it worth reading?
Heh Phat
I have wanted to read the series, unfortunately the kindle price is the same as paperback. I am not paying that.
XBrad, So far the first book is OK. It was pitched as a Youth book (like Hunger Games), so the gore and sex is kept low.
You can kinda see the plot coming, however. Not a bad thing. Good point is the writer knows his guns and boats, so that makes it seem real. * disclaimer: I only know guns*
MCPO would like it because the big asshole in the book is a pilot stuck on the boat.
Ace sez Gawker’s Fanciful New Claim: Zimmerman “Beat” Trayvon Martin, Apparently Pounding Trayvon’s Knuckles With His Eyesockets
I’m not convinced that’s entirely fanciful. Helen Thomas has evidently used that strategy for decades.
*Bings “buggery”… actually blushes*
I still have a crush on Sean Bean. Stupid real life shenanigans V. Sharp Series, LOTR, and Troy.
Sorry Cyn, should have warned you.
Sadly, it’s a common Navy term.
Those Pederasts! (another term to bing)
V, I’ll look for a copy for you. No promises, but I’ll look.
Haha Phat, a chair force guy making ghey jokes about the Navy!!! (Dad was a pecker checker. I get to weigh in)
*Bings… covers eyes… gasps… spreads fingers to read*
Oso, check out a BBC series called Sharpe’s Rifles. It was Sean Bean’s first starring role. Based on an awesome old series of books it’s about a Brit rifle company during the Napoleonic Wars.
The books are good, and the BBC is very good as well. For some bizarre reason it was the #1 show in Russia back when I was living there. Go figure.
If Muslihoon ever shows his face around here we can recommend a couple of Russian movies that will explain their psyche to you. I have a couple in mind, but I’d love to hear his.
Phat?
http://tinyurl.com/c4hanxk
Sharps was good stuff. The BBC Horatio Hornblower series was pretty good as well.
Phat, I watched the series on BBC America twice. Still trying to get my hubby to buy the complete series for me. We even carry it at Sam’s Club. Russian psyche? I took several Russian history classes but unfortunately not film classes.
Sharps was filmed somewhere over in Eastern Europe. I forget if it was Ukraine or Russia.
Hornblower was an excellent series. Really enjoyed that one. I think I recall seeing it aired on A&E a long while ago now.
Cyn, I have a crush on the actor from Hornblower too.
I saw Night Watch. From that, I determined Russians are stupendously boring.
Pic please, Oso. I’ll ogle with you.
Ion Griffud. He’s been in a bunch of other stuff, but I keep seeing him as an awkward Middy.
He was the stretchy guy in Fantastic Four.
Cyn, he’s Reed Richards in Fantastic Four and he was in Amazing Grace too.
http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Ioan-gruffudd.jpg
I’m a regency girl. I like Hugh Jackman in Kate and Leopold too.
Niiiice.
*wishes now I had a basement*
Thanks for the link, XB. Sigh!!!!! Amazing Grace was a boring movie in spite of Ioan and the subject matter. MARE!!!!!!
XBrad, AWESOME! I will save that forever.
OSO, give me a second to pull out my…favorite Russian movie ever.
It’s called Белое солнце пустыни, translates to ‘White Sun of the Desert’. It has everything every Russian movie has. A stoic hero, a stupid drunken comedic sidekick, and a scene where everyone gets shitfaced.
Seriously, that’s their thing. The Russians have an adaptation of ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ that has Watson getting really shitfaced.
I went to language school in St. Petersburg and I still have stories I can’t share.
Phat, I took Japanese film classes. Mag 7 is Seven Samurai with an happy ending. I vaguely remember a film “Moscow does not believe in tears”. I always thought Dr Xhivago needed a Japanese ending.
Movie maven? Our Sky? I didn’t know she’d seen more than 6 or 8 movies in her life???
I didn’t really understand Russia until I lived there.
This is a people that have NEVER known self-rule. It was a seamless transition from the czar to the commissars for most of them.
I was standing on the walls of the US embassy when Yeltsin stood on the tank and did whatever drunken thing he did. In my defense, I was in Moscow on Air Force business and went to the Embassy to have a few peaceful beers. (due to my job at the time I got besieged by KGB prostitutes at the hotel) .
I finally convinced the Marines to let me out (I was not Embassy staff) and made my way through the crowds.
I could hear the stirrings of a democratic movement, but there was also a lot of thuggery present. I remember pissing against a wall and talking to a protester. He keyed on my accent and I diffused by saying I was Texan. He looked at me hard then started laughing his ass off. A Texan in the middle of the biggest protest Russia has seen since 1917?
Yes, I didn’t get my dick back in before I had a group of kids around me asking about Texas.
‘Do you have horses?’ –yes and I have cows and chickens too.
‘Do you have guns?’ –I detailed my arsenal.
The funny part is they never keyed on the reason I was there. I was an Air Force pilot on assignment to fly with the Russians. The Texas distracted them .
That was long. Sorry,
Phat, why were you flying with Ivan? OpenSkies or some other program?
Motherfucking bootleg derp.
Xbrad. It was called “Constant Shotgun’ back in the day. Open Skies was a Start Treaty deal.
It’s funny that my old job has been declassified for 15 yrs, but still no google hits. Guess it wasn’t that important. All I did was fly in the cockpit of every Russian Mil or DV aircraft coming into the US.
Can you introduce me to that Anna Chapman chick?
Oh, OK. I get the program.
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1990-06-03/news/9002150151_1_soviet-flights-soviet-pilots-soviet-airliners
You got it one! Bill Barry was one of my instructors at USAFA.
I was a Soviet Studies major with a minor in Russian language in college.
I was happy as a clam flying C-5′s when they ‘recruited’ me to the job from 1992-95.
Dammit! Now i got myself watching Sharpes Rifles on you tube!
Damn you OSO!
So, that’s a no on the Anna Chapman thing, then?
Sean, whenever i was in Moscow I stayed at the Slavyanskay Raddison. I was there maybe twice a month for three years. I always stayed in one of two room numbers. Hmm.
Did you ever read the piece PJ O’Rourke wrote about going on a Volga River “Peace Cruise” back in the 80s? You can read part of it here. Hilarious.
Sean, I have 3 autographed PJ books.
He made a point to inscribe them ‘pilot’ specific. Really nice guy if you ever get a chance to meet him.
He is my favorite political author. Although Jonah Goldberg is sneaking up.
I think I was in college when he wrote ‘Terror of the EuroWeenies’. Truly a curmudgeon ahead of his time!
Sorry Sean, it was ‘Among the Euroweenies”. I think it was originally a Rolling Stone article, but was in his book ‘Holidays in Hell’.
I first met PJ back in ’96, He was kick ass.
Sadly, I think his health isn’t good. I wish him the best. In a way he was the original ‘moron’. Ace writes like PJ would if he’d never left his apt.
He does have a twitter account, but tweets rarely. I think it’s NotPJOrourke? Not sure. I’m @transphat88.
I have all of his books, phat. I read my uncle’s copy of Parliament of Whores when I was about 13 years old and I’ve been a conservative ever since.
Okay, time to turn in. G’nite.
wakey wakey
I had a stitch work it’s way out years after I had my c-section. It’s weird because the outside stitches were staples, but they used something else for the internal sutures. I assume those were supposed to dissolve. But I saw this weird black thing kinda sticking out (SYWM) and I pulled it out. Didn’t hurt a bit, but it was a long pieces of what I could only assume was suture.
It’s funny that Obama’s speech at Joplin was all about coming together and helping each other. And – the funny thing is that Obama has NEVER acted in this manner. When he was a “community organizer” that was nothing but a vehicle for HIMSELF.
Fucker doesn’t even work hard at any job. He’s all hot air.
And he ate a dog.
Obama ate a dog?
I’m getting really good at giving medication to sick cat.
I think I’m almost ready to feed a baby.
North Carolina teacher story on F&F right now.
Got a thyroid pill in him, got him to eat a little. Waiting to do antibiotics until the last possible minute.
SpaceX launch went off this morning, on schedule.
HI! HI! HI! *runs through blog, remembers it’s the dreaded Tuesday, tiptoes quietly out…
I’m going to tell people that I eat dog.
A truck driver in our break room offered me some home made jerky many years ago. It was incredible. I was like “OMG this is awesome! What kind of jerky is this?” He responds with a straight face “dog”.
I may have eaten dog.
Mj is a dog
Just sayin
I’m well marbled.
Eat me.
Good thing Phat is from Texas. His Russian Adventure might have ended differently if he were an Hoosier.
Hi Pups
Are you still traveling?
No one in Russia respects Michiganders.
Wait, no.
No one on Earth respects Michiganders, including us. Though Parisians sometimes take a step back if you say you’re from Detroit.
Work time.
Heh
Michael hardest hit.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/05/21/dc-comics-evolve-turn-character-gay
My husband has had people step back when they found out he was from Detroit.
He was in the Bronx, I think.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/05/21/dc-comics-evolve-turn-character-gay
Good luck with that .
I’m home Vmax, I travel for a couple of days about every other week right now, but I’ve got some proposals out there that will probably put me up to 50% on the road if they get signed. Tennessee and Kentucky mostly.
*banjo music*
I just put up the SpaceX launch video over at XBrad’s. Derpy McDerpersons at KSC put their video up where you get the “watch this video on Youtube” error if you embed it. Thanks, guys, I’ll find someone else’s video of the launch.
Two papers written, one more to go, so I can go to FL.
Work time, y’all have a good day. (((squishy hugs)))
Good morning cool kids
Shut the fuck up Cyn.
*pops corn
Well, this should be interesting.
This is why you will always be my favorite, Scott.
Oh, and FOAD.
I was hoping for a bit more.
Let’s talk shit about
TotalMare. She’s not here to defend herself.Damn, I missed it.
The popcorn, that is.
What can we say about Mare that hasn’t already been said?
Anyone else discover asbestos on their job site this morning?

What can we say about Mare that hasn’t already been said?

That’s what makes this a challenge.
I think mare ate dog. And did a little blow when she could afford it.
I saw that about the gay comic character.
They’re also changing their name to AC/DC Comics.
I’m pretty sure Mare wore white shoes after Labor Day once.
Oh that sucks, HS. Any major issues with the remediation, other than delay and pain in the ass?
VJ Day in Honolulu! In color.
This may be ‘old’ but it’s still worth a watch.

Oh… LOOK WHAT DAY IT IS!!!!
xbrad is a shit-stirrer
Yeah, but I’m only using a small spatula so far this morning.
Any major issues with the remediation, other than delay and pain in the ass?
Cost.
You have to eat the whole thing, HS? Or is there a way around it?
No one on Earth respects Michiganders, including us.
Why on earth would anyone respect a Michigander?
If they had an ounce of sense, they would be somewhere else.
Hope you had a caveat in the contract, Spur.

Cyn, when are you guys heading up to Pinetop?
I am so stealing that, Laura….
Visiting Pinetop is MUCH better than visiting Carrottop.
fishsticks for breakfast, NO WONDER NO ONE LOVES ME
This is for Leon. http://www.waldeneffect.org/blog/Organic_Japanese_Beetle_Control/#cut
“Anyone else discover asbestos on their job site this morning?”
I didn’t see anything.
“THESE FISHSTICKS ARE HARD AS TITS!!!”
You have to eat the whole thing, HS? Or is there a way around it?
I don’t have to eat any of it. Undisclosed conditions are always excluded.
I just know that the owners are on a tight budget. It’s a frat house, and they have to raise the funds from alums – hard to do in this economy.
Asbestos–not just for breakfast anymore.

Just Wow! Good job in Wisconsin!
On the stump, Walker is fond of citing Chief Executive magazine, which had ranked Wisconsin as the 41st-best state for business in 2010 and now ranks it 20th. Walker also points to a survey by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce that found only 10 percent of business owners thought the state was headed in the right direction in 2010, while an eye-popping 94 percent think so today.

Good day, peoples.
Car in, I think that is the lowest increase in the rate of spending.
It’s kinda hard to increase spending over what they already have.
Underpants
Yea, they’ve used the cover of teh spendulous plan. New baseline.
Of course, Obama didn’t get the budget he wanted.

16 Trillion Debt = Lowest. Spending. EVER!!!!
Delusional Democrats
Democrats: Ten percent of 800 billion is more than three times ‘bigger’ than three percent of 3 trillion.
Liberal base: YAAAYYYY!! CUPCAKES FOR EVERYONE!
I thought there wasn’t going to be any math today.
So, it’s agreed then: Obama hates poor people.

Hey Sean, did you see Adam Serwer butchered the word literally in that tweet above?

Sorry, CB. I guess being bitten on the nipple has left me a bit out of it.

Aggie, I can’t find a decent copy of the Jeff Foxworthy routine about getting your nipple bitten off.

My wife has books and DVDs on dressage, you see it at flippin’ 4H fairs for Pete’s sake. To call it an exclusive pastime of the rich is utter farce.
If Ann Romney were into Polo, they might have a case, but this is bollocks.
I need some hostage input. I created this phone app that am about to launch and in order to do so I created a video that is like an intro. to the app.
Can you guys/gals take a quick look at this video and tell me if it makes sense, or if you see any misspellings, or any input before I distribute it. please, I’ll buy you all a drink.

obviously, by that comment, spelling is an issue:)
Count – It looked good to me. I didn’t see any glaring errors.
thanks chief
Great job, Count.
I didn’t see any problems, except some of the descriptions are a little too brief to read. I watched on my iPhone, so maybe due to size it was a little too small to read readily.
Looks good to me, Count!
So when does Batman come out of the closet?

Let me guess….
1) You get 50,000 people to download your free app
2) You approach restaurants and ask them if they would like to advertise their specials to your app audience
3) Profit
Pretty neat.
If it works can you sell it to people in other areas or would it be too easy to steal?
50 bucks a month, to log into my website and update your specials, or 500 a year. Of course they get banners and control of their ratings and reviews as well.
Can I get a cheeseburger and fries to go?
“No fries, chips!”

Chief, DG is absolutely beautiful!
All you need now is somebody to write you a virus that installs that app on every phone in greater Houston.
Chief, are you familiar with the legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall, Benny Goodman concert?
Hotspur – No. Would you enlighten me? I’m off to the showers, but promise to read it when I get back.
Evening, sausagefest participants.
Look it up on Youtube.
The whole performance was awesome, but I draw your particular attention to One O’Clock Jump and Sing, Sing Sing.
Sing3 builds to an unbelievable crescendo. The audience went batshit wild!
Count, check spelling of “retaurant” in Lunch Specials heading.
Looks great!
Love the use of brightness to highlight items.
Secondary text needs to be a little bigger. If I couldn’t see it on the computer, they won’t see it on the screen.
Evening, MJ. You buying?
thanks jay that’s the one word I always screw up on.
Scott you can pay 200$ to have an app. downloaded and rated 5 stars with a comment 1000 times. I’m just going to do that.
Hah, is that common, to buy ratings?
ratings, facebook fans, app downloads, etc.. all common.
Ok, but no fruity drinks.
This was the stupidest thing I heard today:
The occupy movements are similar to what is happening in Syria.
Yes, getting high and sleeping in a park is very similar to being slaughtered by the thousands. I’m sure the Syrians would agree.
Looks like Joe Biden let the mask slip a bit. So ordinary people aren’t capable of being president? I kind of think that’s exactly what we are missing.
The absolute dumbest thing I read today was that Fauxcahontas is really indian because it was very American of her to want to be. Or something.
The second thing was some shit on Mike Malloy’s FaceJizm page. (I can’t link it on my iHole.)
What a dickhole.
Did you call them a homo?
Gook?
Dinner tonight will be grilled Italian sausage.
No fest.

You know, my grandma told me that she was probably part native american. She looked like it, and so did my great grandmother. They both had hairs so black it had a blue sheen to itl This never led me to think that it was ok to check the box on a survey, or use a ‘story’ to enhance my resume.
Straight up, she’s a fucking lying sack of shit and deserves to fall on the sword of diversity she supports.
Roamy – Thanks for sharing the link!
MCPO, thanks for sharing pics of DG. Let me be the 193,472nd person to say how cute she is!
One O’Clock Jump:
http://youtu.be/8t3JTFfFaAc
Roamy – As we like to say in our family, “She is the product of superior genes.”
I Got Rhythm
http://youtu.be/tE4ACIZSIFI
Roamy: would you be ok coming over for dinner with Vmax or would do you want to meat out somewhere?
Way back when, nobody would ADMIT that they had Indian in them. Supposedly my great-grandmother was full-blooded Indian (Choctaw, I think), but there is no way to prove it, and my aunt has done family history and says it doesn’t show up in any records.
My grandfather had coal black hair when he died; my dad is 80, and his hair is black as well.
And, yeah – never even thought to use it to “check off a box”…..
Did anybody thumb their nose at anybody else today?
Roamy, that was a 2 LP set back in the day. I wore two of them out, owned it on cassette (boo), and own it on DVD. I have probably listened to that concert more than anyone else on earth.
If you read the Wiki page for it, it gives you a flavor of the evening, and the band Goodman assembled – hence the term Legendary.
I scratched my ass while in line at Costco.
Does that count?
SeanM – I beat my playing partner by 10 strokes today, does that count?
My guess is that it was cool to have an ‘other’ type of biography during the 80s when the concept of diversity came about. Then the lie became told so much that they started to believe it, not realizing, as no one did, that the interweb would simplify fact checking so much.
Let’s not start scrubbin each other’s clocks just yet gentlemen.

That depends…did you have the same procedure that Geraldo had done a few years back?

I fed the chickens, medicated and fed the indoor animals, washed all the dishes, prepped and baked meatballs, and brewed a fresh pitcher of iced tea all within an hour of getting home.
I got this bachelor thing solved, bishes.
You know, my grandma told me that she was probably part native american. She looked like it, and so did my great grandmother. They both had hairs so black it had a blue sheen to itl
Meaningless. It’s all about the cheekbones, kemosabe.
I have no idea what procedure Jerry Rivers had done. And I’m pretty sure I don’t want to.
CSI:Miami is getting the axe. Is regular CSI still on? CSI:NY?
I pretty much burned out on police procedurals. I almost can’t watch Castle on my DVR. I used to watch all 3 CSIs plus NCIS. Right around the time NCIS:LA started I lost interest in all of them.
I gave up on CSI:Original Recipe about the time Marg Helgenberger started looking her age.
I dunno, Leon. I don’t watch CSI, but I like the David Carusso/Who scream.
Yeah, Marg was the hottie on that show. I was ticked when they lost the gal that played Riley, she had potential. They just wasted that character.

Obama is bombarding the airwaves here in PA. I have not seen a single Republican/Romney ad.
So my 19 yr old brother is working on my car so he gave me his suped up truck to drive. OMG! Most fun I have had in years. No muffler kind of thing and huge speakers. LMAO!!!! I scared this one poor teenage girl driving with her windows down. Of course she was trying to figure out why an old lady would be driving that.
SoHoS -We used to call those kinds of pickups; “Love Sleds”.
Teenage girls, so dumb. I would have just assumed you were driving your teenage kid’s truck, and that you had him with you were 9 years old.

He did a hell of a job in the Jason Borne series.
I LOVE Team America!!!
Shit, Clint. That looks very good. Too bad it’s on NBC and will be cancelled after two episodes.
Fuck Yeah
Sadly you may be correct, XB. Same thing happened to Alcatraz on Fox. Great show on a network that many don’t know.
Never saw Alcatraz. Just not my style.
I’m guessing you’ve read Lucifer’s Hammer a time or two?
yup
I was thinking the same thing when I saw “NBC”. Ugh. I am just NOT a fan of that network.

Hey MJ, did you know Obama is a SCOAMF?
The whole face book thing is just shocking. I mean … who would have thought?
I still don’t get how facechimp is worth anything other than as a datamine to sell views of to advertisers.
Is there really that much money in advertising?
8 homocides, and 33 non-fatal shootings over the past five days in Detroit.
And those are the ones we know about.
Well, that’s a sign of Spring.
It’s too cold for murder in Winter. So the drug dealers and other violent criminals save it up until the weather warms. All their grudges sleep under the snow.
Then there’s that perfect morning, the kind of Spring day that dawns with promise and glory, and they think to themselves, “What a beautiful day for a drive-by!”
Happens every year. Murder Season.
Time to plant the tomatoes.
Yea, I always breathed a tad easier in bad winter weather. No one is breaking into houses during the cold or if they have to trudge through snow drifts.
Ok. It’s been a few days and I’m about 90% sure there’s still glass in my foot. It still hurts to step on it, but there’s no swelling or redness or anything.
True, snow makes crime difficult. You leave tracks, you can’t get away in a hurry, you’re encumbered if you dress for the weather, etc.
There’s a reason Dexter lives in Miami.
