  1. Like a boss.

  2. Ha ha ha ha! http://i.imgur.com/CLap7.jpg

  3. Oh man, that’s a header pic if I ever saw one.

  4. Too bad wrong size for header… http://i.imgur.com/DYKQr.jpg

  5. That even looks like Andy!

  6. Heh, I kinda thought so too.

  7. Huh. Every time I go out for sushi it’s one of the healthiest meals I eat.

    It is pretty healthy. And, of all the things one could gorge on – it is about the healthiest.

  8. Maybe I should save this for Friday: http://is.gd/pSTnqR

  9. Okay, last one: http://is.gd/A9g0BI

  10. I’d rather have spicy Thai food, especially a good Pad Thai.

    Cyn, I think that’s a Tuesday picture.

  11. Is that navy seals picture just fucking with me? I can’t find a one.

  12. I like thai food too. But often TOO many carbs. I love the noodle dishes best.

  13. //lurks

  14. Is there an outline of the seals? I don’t’ see shit.

  15. Noodle this.

  16. Don’t forget that tomorrow is Flag Day!

    Thanks for the reminder. Flag Day is not on the Yahoo calendar. The flag is flying at Casa de Michael.

    I hammered some rocks into the soil around the PVC pipe that I use as a mount, hoping that the pole will not lean.

  17. Is there an outline of the seals? I don’t see shit.

    They’re like ninjas.

    Ninjas with really cool toys.

  18. Is there an outline of the seals? I don’t’ see shit.

    That’s sorta the point. I see one gun barrel.

  19. I thought all seals had balls on their noses.

  20. What if the balls are camouflaged, too?

  21. If you look at the text, look up an inch from the “r” in the word “Pictured.” That’s a gun barrel. There’s a Seal behind it.

  22. The Seals are in the water like seals. One may be a tree.

  23. The SEALs are one deployment to the desert.

    Also,

    Happy 237th Birthday to the United States Army.

  24. Speaking of seals, I have to polyurethane a bench today. Later taters.

  25. I’m going to look for a bigger version of the picture. I’m obsessed.

  26. There’s one directly above and touching the letters ETCM.

  27. It’s BS.

  28. Those SEALs aren’t nearly as well hidden as this guy:

    http://xbradtc.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/hide-in-plain-sight/

  29. ha ha ha … that’s great xbrad. But I *could* find him.

  30. OMG. There is a spot just about in the middle. This spot here

    http://i44.tinypic.com/2lllret.jpg Nothing there right? Wrong.

    Look what happens when you magnify it. http://i43.tinypic.com/154vhgw.jpg

  31. Look what happens when you magnify it. http://i43.tinypic.com/154vhgw.jpg

    Scott, have Lauraw kick you in the poon for me.

  32. We’re too busy laughing.

  33. Here’s an interesting story currently on the MSN home page:

    http://thehostages.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/msn_wtf.png

    Classy!

  34. There’s another one, in the bottom right corner.

    OMG. I thought I turned that web cam OFF. Dangit.

  37. Happy Birthday, Michael.

  38. Look at the tree directly in the middle, Car in. You’ll see two of them.

  39. Happy Flag Day, everybody! When are you guys opening your Flag Day presents?

  40. I believe they are being unfurled after lunch.

  41. Poat updated.

  42. Look at the tree directly in the middle, Car in. You’ll see two of them.

    I don’t see shit. you’re all just fucking with me.

  43. When are you guys opening your Flag Day presents?

    Did I miss the e-mail where we could have opted in or out of the Secret Betsy Ross?

  44. You’ll see two of them.

    heh. Those were the first two I found. Te rest were much more difficult.

  45. Did I miss the e-mail where we could have opted in or out of the Secret Betsy Ross?

    Oh. Perhaps I’ve said too much. Never mind.

  46. yes.

    perhaps.

    eh, I would have probably gotten mare as my Secret Betsy Ross and ended up with nothing anyway.

  47. If you stare into the center of that picture for 3 minutes and then look at a white wall you will see this http://is.gd/cjsG2S

  48. Ugh,

    These two hours of sleep probably aren’t going to be enough…

    Oh well, got to suck it up and get back on the ‘daywalker’ schedule.

  49. The thing is, I hear that mare really goes all out on Flag Day.

  50. Also, gotta go put the flag out.

    That’s not a euphemism, but it should be.

  51. When on amphibious operations, SEALs are careful to conceal most of their body below water.

  52. The thing is, I hear that mare really goes all out on Flag Day.

    Which one is mare?

  55. Is anyone else on the edge of your seat, anxiously awaiting President Narcissus’s speech in Cleveland?

    Me neither.

  56. Which one is mare?

    All three of them! She’s just that good.

  57. Mare has a parrot?

    Marrot.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbfzahtZsN8

  58. I got myself for Flag Day and showered myself with gifts.

    The Flag and presents, what could be better?

  59. The Flag and presents, what could be better?

    A wiserbud/mare/scott sandwich?

  60. A wiserbud/mare/scott sandwich?

    That’s gonna need a lot of mayo.

  61. Marrot.

    HA! http://is.gd/mnQGHt

  62. A wiserbud/mare/scott sandwich?

    just lost my appetite

  63. Parrotte’s syndrome.

  64. Xbrad, do you know what 4 Admirils and 2 Generals want us to sign that idiotic Sea Treaty? Couldn’t find the names in the article I saw. They need to be scorned and Kerry needs to stand down

  65. Is Hotspur drunk already?

  66. If that parrot had tried this, its beak would leave a mark.

    http://bit.ly/KqsSMm

  67. Is Hotspur drunk already?

    Isn’t everyone?

  68. If that parrot had tried this, its beak would leave a mark.

    Ooof, that reminds me of Xbrad’s video from the other night.
    {shudders}

  69. Mare, I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to the LOST treaty, but I’m pretty much against it.

    Still, it’s been an issue for years, and I’m not seeing a lot of momentum in the Senate to ratify it.

  70. I’m drunk on the moon.

  71. There’s a LOST treaty? Is it finally going to tell us what those fucking numbers meant?

  72. If Romney wins, he ought to smack down hard on LOST. That is an easy win.

  73. Those numbers mean: We are screwed.

    “These seabeds under the world’s oceans—71 percent of the world’s surface—effectively would become U.N. property and the Law of the Sea Treaty would empower a new international bureaucracy, the International Seabed Authority. Only recently was America even granted a permanent seat on the governing council. “But that doesn’t mean anything,” Bandow said, because America easily could be outvoted by 35 other council members.”

    http://www.humanevents.com/2012/06/10/law-of-the-sea-treaty-may-be-improved-but-remains-deeply-flawed/

  74. I’m interested in the military brass who would support that POS.

  75. Has the US lost it’s fucking mind? The answer to every ‘sharing’ treaty is NO. The answer to every UN treaty is FUCK NO, AND GIVE ME MY GODDAMN MONEY BACK YOU EUROTRASH FUCKFACES.

  76. Huh? http://i.imgur.com/l25kC.jpg

  77. Guess who supports this shitty treaty?

    “Now, the Law of the Sea Treaty is back, supposedly refurbished so well in a 1994 reworking of the agreement that some say Reagan now would support it. The new version is supported by President George H.W. Bush, Reagan’s vice president, and by President George W. Bush, as well as by five Republican secretaries of state: George Shultz and James A. Baker III, who served in that post under Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.”

    Severely conservative, no?

    Another reason why some say it is often difficult to distinguish Republican politicians from Democrats. They are all members of the ruling class and have more in common with each other than the citizens they see as subjects.

  78. Huh? http://i.imgur.com/l25kC.jpg

    Loved the water buffalo that played Travolta in “Pulp Fiction.”

  79. It’s ridiculous to support this crap and MJ has absolutely nailed my thoughts on the subject.

  80. Let me put it this way. If both Bushes, Colin Powell AND John Kerry support something, run for your life.

  81. What’s the law on Senate treaty ratification? I thought it was 3/4.

    No way in hell this gets done. Just like any climate change BS Barky tries to push through in his mythical second term.

  82. LOST has sucked since the day someone thought it up, always will.

    Altima just left on a tow truck. End of an era in the Caruthers household.

  83. A typical weekend party chez Orwell.

    http://bit.ly/LctKVA

  84. That makes the tally:

    1. Cat
    2. Motorcycle
    3. Car

    In the last two weeks. At least the motorcycle was by choice.

  85. YOU are a party ANIMAL, George.

  86. We serve copious alfalfa and peanut shell hors d’oeuvres at all our dinner parties.

  87. Back to work.

  88. Not much work this week over here, hence dawdling on the compooter.

    I have a Nissan, has been very good. Would buy another.

  89. To beat a dead sea horse,

    …former Reagan Attorney General Edwin Meese III insisted that Reagan would not sign the treaty today because it still poses “a direct threat to American sovereignty.” He added, “President Reagan so strongly opposed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea that he didn’t just not sign the treaty. He very publicly refused to sign it. He also dismissed the State Department staff that helped negotiate it.”

    How I miss Reagan.

  90. The eldest phatspawn will be driving later this year. My ‘airport’ car (’95 Saturn w/215K miles) is unacceptable. Will have to car shop soon.

    My younger brother is the Service Manager for a Ford dealership down in Dallas. I told him to keep his eyes out for something good coming through on a trade-in.

  91. I’d like a say in what type of streetlights are in Hyde Park Chicago.

    Isn’t’ this basically the absurdity of UN treaties?

  92. I love Dina Goldstein’s photography.

    http://tinyurl.com/bu9r8dc

  93. I loved the Nissan that I had. I cried when I had to get rid of her; got too preggers to drive it.

  94. (CBS News) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg shrugged off criticism of his controversial public health initiatives, saying that “if government’s purpose isn’t to improve the health and longevity of its citizens, I don’t know what its purpose is.”

    The purpose of the Mayor of New York is to be the poster child for willful ignorance and stealth Stalinism.

  95. Isn’t’ this basically the absurdity of UN treaties?

    Because shut up, that’s why.

  96. USA! USA! US–waitaminute…

  97. USA! USA! US–waitaminute…

    Perhaps they meant “California” when they used “Mexico.”

    It is still notionally part of the USA.

  98. I just love that pic of Riley photobombing you, Sean!!

  99. My wife had a Nissan. It had ugly red hubcaps. I wouldn’t buy another one.

    Until we got new hubcaps. Then it was a pretty good car.

  100. Oooo, ace just had another Obama name I hadn’t heard: Derp Leader. I likey.

  101. Red hubcaps? Yuck. That must have been added after the fact by someone in Mexico. Or maybe Detroit.

  102. Heh, first they invaded Axelrod’s speech in Boston, now the bus. These guys are GREAT!

  103. Horn honking… hahahah! That’s delicious!

  104. Oh yes, Cyn, they were every bit as horrid as they sound. It replaced her old Escort, so it was still a step up.

  105. If it were Detroit, it would have been spinners.

  106. I’d make a joke about how ace will be hearing from my lawyers, but I don’t want him to OD on Klonopin.

  107. Racist sonsabitches.

  108. I denounce myself in advance:

  109. Happy Birthday, Michael.

    Thanks Brad. I’m glad at least one person remembered.

  110. Anyone hear that snippet of President Narcissus’s speech today which Rush played? The audience’s response was tepid, to put it mildly. Everything about Obama is a fraud. His charm, affability and rhetorical skill included.

  111. Happy Birthday Michael!

    I always think birthday greetings to Michael are some kind of sham.

  112. Heh.

  113. Um, mare…

  114. Someone at DC is having fun again

    http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/14/obamas-hollywood-links-bridle-campaign-pitch/

    If this keeps up, horse-faced women are going to form a victim’s group.

  115. Heh, that one isn’t nearly as blatant as the last one.

  116. Son of a …

  117. It’s so funny to hear the left griping about the One being made to look the fool. What are they going to do, take the high road? This is the guy that released divorce records and made fun of McCain’s (spit) war injuries.

  121. That’s VADM Fox to you, MCPO.

    But how come his wingie never gets any credit? He popped a MiG, too, and unlike Fox, he only needed one missile.

  122. xBrad – I knew him when he was an LCDR. I ain’t impressed.

  123. Do you think he has another star in him?

  124. L to R: Face, Palm

    You are expected to send him a present too. Do not be stingy. We hope your Mother******’s Day present to Michelle was equally extravagant, for your sake. Penalties apply.

  138. Here is a short video explaining Obama’s economic policies.

    Clearly, Bush moved the ledge.

  139. Republicans want to shut down the government!!?! ZOMG!!

  140. Republicans want to shut down the government!

    You say that like it’s a bad thing. In this day and age of the TSA and EPA, I don’t think it is.

  141. Ya’know, it use to be that I hated the IRS and ATF the most. Now I can’t decide if the TSA or the EPA is my number one target. It takes a major fuck-over to make me shift my hated of the IRS to another agency…

  142. Agile Dog – I’d start with the Dept of Ed – clear out the commies and pedophiles, then on to the entire DHS and EPA!

  143. Celebrating Father’s Day early, the president had lunch with two service members and two local barbers at Kenny’s BBQ on Capitol Hill.

    As the group chatted about fatherhood, the president enjoyed a steaming plate of pork ribs with hot sauce, collard greens, red beans and rice and cornbread.

    The bill for the president and his four guests was $55.58, but was left unpaid at the point of sale, according to pool reports.

    The White House corrected the oversight and settled up the tab by the end of the business day.

    http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/06/white-house-forgets-to-pay-fathers-day-lunch-tab/

    Well, at least he didn’t order steaks and martinis. Because that would make Michelle mad. She hates fat people. In fact, she hates just about everyone, as far as we can tell.

  144. This is the best lib comment from Obama’s speech:

    He needs to give a speech like this once a month between now and the election. Head on, directly call bullshit on GOP’s bleating talking points, and very clearly draw the distinction in vision between us and them, and end with “These are the facts. You choose with your vote.”

    That would be perfect, thanks.

  145. Yannow, the Obama Dine And Dash incident is only made funnier by the fact that he was bashing the GOP over the head with that same analogy yesterday.

  146. I can’t think of a better way to enhance their campaign, MJ.

    Romney’s, that is.

  147. Yeah baby, no one kills a thread like Isaac!

  148. The thread phones to say “I’m not dead yet!”

  149. and end with “These are the facts. You choose with your vote.”

    Don’t they mean “this is facts”?

    Would hate to misquote such an incredible orator as Prez. Kardashian, doncha know…..

  150. Heh, that’s one of Rush’s better ones lately, President Kardashian.

  151. The bill for the president and his four guests was $55.58, but was left unpaid at the point of sale, according to pool reports.

    Priceless.

    Obama needs to be beaten mercilessly with that story, especially after his precious little story about the steak dinner yesterday.

  152. Dese be da factes.

  153. The real scandal about President Narcissus’s dine ‘n’ dash stunt is that fifty dollars of the bill went for a mess of 32 oz. tubs of Mountain Dew.

  154. Pssst… Roamy… let’s do this!

  155. I like.

    I have to figure out dinner, and my brain melted about an hour ago. 3.2 million bits of data crunched yesterday and today.

  156. A friend of mine went to Chicago and did a whole Bueller tour. One of these days, I’m going to do that, too.

  157. Bite ‘n Bolt

  158. Flash is not working on FireFox now. WTF?!

  162. Bueller Tour–OMG how fun would that be! That has H2 written all over it.

    Dinner? Done–spaghetti using Prego and frozen meatballz. Thawed ballz optional.

  163. I hated Ferris Bueller.

  164. You’re welcome.

    A lil’ bit of BBF early. Oh my.

  165. You just didn’t watch it with the right people, ‘Spurt. It’s almost one of those anthem movies, like Animal House and Caddyshack.

  166. Didn’t see either one.

  167. Are you part of the Rebel Alliance ‘er something?

    If I ever host a meat-up, I’m renting out a theater where we can consume beverages and watch these movies and recite the lines and get silly. I might have to throw in Rocky Horror Picture Show as well.

  168. Yeah baby, no one kills a thread like Isaac!

    Especially funny with the fingergun avatar, heh

  169. I can recite Waterloo and Last if the Mohicans by heart.

    And The Holiday.

  170. I might have to throw in Rocky Horror Picture Show as well.

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail

  171. I used to like to blaze up and watch The Holiday. Good times. You kinda had to be there.

    I’m probably going to buy a Scion XD or a Toyota Matrix next week. The latter is pricier, but has AWD and a math name. Slightly lower mileage.

  178. ***OT ALERT*** Last night I nearly had an “encounter” with a wrong way driver. We started counting our near misses and in the past ten years, we’ve had 7. The wrong way drivers had to be on the wrong side of the HWY/Median to count. Do other states have this problem too?

  179. Leon the Matrix was a joint venture with GM. I do not know if they still make it but used the GM badge brought less $ that the Toyota.

  184. Scott: “It’s a hundred and six miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack a cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.”

    Dave: “Hit it.”

  185. Yeah, the Vibe was the Pontiac clone, it’s out of production along with the rest of the line. The Matrix is still being built (to considerably better standards). Both of them are hatchbacks with fold-flat seats, which seems handy whether I’m moving kids or small livestock.

  186. “Yeah, the Vibe was the Pontiac clone”

    I told you once before, it’s a face scrubber.

  187. The hot chick I work with drives a Vibe. She acknowledges the humor of this, which makes her hotter.

  188. Take it away Brad.

  189. Scott – How much harassment can I expect from carsdirect once I give’em my info?

  190. I got no harassment and I was very happy with them.

    It was several years ago so ymmv.

  191. If I ever host a meat-up, I’m renting out a theater where we can consume beverages and watch these movies and recite the lines and get silly. I might have to throw in Rocky Horror Picture Show as well.

    When the farmer catches you.

  213. Did anybody cast doubt on anybody else’s version of events today?

  214. Speaking of wildlife … the animals were on the move when I was on the way home this evening. I saw a bunch of deer and then capped it off with a couple of red fox kits right as I was getting home. I tried to get a picture of the little critters, but they were on the move.

  215. It is a bad idea to mention Aretha Franklin around me.

    I’ll sing.

    No one wants this.

  216. I gave dubious recounting of events, Sean.

  217. Andy,
    Cool! There are ‘supposed to be’ Fox here, but I’ve never seen one in the wild.
    Bear, Cougar, Coyote, Elk, Deer, Wolf, but no Lynx, Bobcat, or Fox – and that’s just on our property.

  218. Strategery for today: you win wars by consolidating your coalition, but also by creating dissent among the ranks of your enemy. Pit liberal interest groups against each other. There are enough divisions that can be exploited without tipping your hand. Be ruthless about it. Muslims vs gays, muslims vs women, blacks vs hispanics, conservative blacks against urban hippies. Linousine liberals vs blue collar democrats. Play up issues. George Zimmerman case is a good example. Republicans should be loudly denouncing bloodthirsty people like Jesse Jackson and aAl Sharpton. What are you going to lose? The black vote?

    You would say we are better than that. Fuck, no! Better people lose.

    I’ll sing.

    No one wants this.

    Is Dionne Warwick safe? Or do you start doing psychic readings?

  221. I was listening to an interesting podcast today (shut up). It was the guy who runs Polyface farms (many animals with forage/pasture as the basis, minimal grain inputs) talking about his son trying to breed rabbits that can subsist exclusively on pasture feeding. The farmed breeds have lived on pellets/grain for so long that they can’t do this.

    Anyhow, his son started on this breed about 22 years ago now, and the current generation needs about 25% of the standard grain ration, which is a huge improvement. What he noted, though, was that his son had ~50% mortality every year for the first 5 years. He said if the ASPCA or PETA had been around, they’d never have gotten started on this, the modern laws on animal cruelty would’ve made this impossible. I hadn’t thought of it before that, and it’s sticking with me.

  222. Introducing: LauraW and The “Psychotic Friends Network!”
    I don’t think this is gonna work.
    Oh wait, we could make it a Blog and call it “H2″…

  223. >> It is a bad idea to mention Aretha Franklin around me.

    Chain chain chain….

  224. I was listening to an interesting podcast today…

    Wow, tell me more!

    It was the guy who runs Polyface farms (many animals with forage/pasture as the basis, minimal grain inputs) talking about…

    Yeah, before you go any further, I just remembered that I have to go do a thing.

  225. Leon,
    Our wild rabbits seem to live just fine with no grain/pellets. They eat flowers, garden-plants, grass, weeds, and seem do do just fine, until a hawk sees them. They seem healthy, fat, with nice coats.

  226. Scott, I am still amazed that we have emerged unscathed by all our wrong way driver experiences. Last night was just a lost mini van. Going under the speed limit and I am still a little freaked. The worst was a semi that we had to pass on the opposite shoulder to avoid an head on at 80+mph.

  227. Good link MCPO!!!!

  228. “The farmed breeds have lived on pellets”

    That’s what kills most of them around here.

  229. Scott,
    .177, or .22 pellets?

  230. Our wild rabbits seem to live just fine with no grain/pellets.

    True, but the wild rabbits are pretty small compared to a farmed meat breed. His goal was to start with something in the 7-9lb range and keep it there, with lineage he could trace back to his starting population. Similar to the Russian silver fox experiment where they tested how long it would take to breed dogs. For the kid it started as a 4H project when he was in elementary school.

  231. Uh, bunnies have like a 90% mortality rate for males (& a 95% rape rate for females., but never mind that). This is “NORMAL” bunny behaviour. They’re horrible creatures. But grain/pellet nonsense is just applying an externality that don’t fuckin’ fit, nigga.

  232. We have a resident hawk that has chased the Roadrunners away, killed the pigeons, and feasts on baby bunnies. It was having an aerial battle with a raven the other day. Way better than the owl that was swooping my dachshunds.

  233. Yes, rabbits are awful. Starving them to death to see if they can live on grass and clover still gets you into trouble with the law, though, which was the point of my story. If you wanted to breed for an animal that can live on pasture without drugs or antibiotics, you can’t do it legally anymore.

  234. Raise your hand if you know what it means when the road marker reflectors are red.

  235. Zombies ahead?

  236. It means you’re going the wrong fuckin’ way! Blue means a fire-hydrant(here).

  237. Leon,
    I getchya. The wild ones here are, at most, 3-5 pounds. It kinda fun sitting the deck and watching them get within 5-6′ eating the clover blooms in the lawn. Those are the ones that folks ‘used’ to live on. I suppose that would be like comparing a wild turkey to a “Butterball” turkey. Nothing alike…

  238. Red right return.

  239. I thought it meant, “Hand me another beer dude!”

  240. Redrum

  241. Anyone seen the lawyer from Dallas?

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

  242. There’s a wild rabbit here that I see near the driveway all the time. I’d be surprised if he weighed in at 5 lb. Maybe 4 and a half.

    I did find a breeder down in Dundee that has Palominos, so I might try contacting her this weekend to run my “can I kill, gut, and roast an animal” experiment. The first step is the hard one. The second step I need some tools for.

  243. SEVEN wrong-way driver incidents?? Holy crap.

    I have encountered one. That was plenty.

    It wasn’t the interstate, but it was a fast moving three-lane highway. Traffic was thick but somehow it suddenly parted, right in front of me. And there was a confused old man driving a Buick the wrong way, directly in my path.

    I jerked the wheel heedless of what was next to me, and hit nothing, but flowed around him like everyone else did. Have no idea how. It was a miracle.

  244. If they’d leaned the back at any angle shy of 90 degrees, the Soul might be an option.

  245. LauraW,
    Thanks for not hitting me.

  246. “The first step is the hard one.”

    Given the chance, they would kill you and everyone you have ever loved.

  247. Leon,
    Did you drive a Soul? It looks like it would have HUGE blind-spots in the back because of the thick pillars.
    Does it come AWD?

  248. Lauraw, I’m still a little dazed. Dan has managed to avoid every single one. Last night was the first night the dogs weren’t in the car for the ride. I still see the headlights right there! I hate to be racist but 4 of the 7 were close to various reservations. We’ve had to dodge pedestrians on freeways by the Res as well.

  249. Given the chance, they would kill you and everyone you have ever loved.

    Thanks. That’ll help. I’m also planning to fast for 24 hours beforehand, so I really, really want to go through with it.

  250. Would it help you kill the bunny if I called you the world’s biggest pussy that isn’t actually installed in a whale?

    Jeeezus. I wouldn’t have said anything but this is like the second or third time I’ve heard this lately, how hard it is to kill the wee fuffy widdums.

    Just knock their fucking brains out with a motherfucking brick. The fuck is wrong with you. Do you like eating, or don’t you?

    Christ, what has happened to people.

  251. Can we add “Zombieland” to the list of movies we’re gonna watch at the movie meat-up?

    I realize it’s a newer flick, but it’s one of those “instant classics”…..

  252. Our resident hawk and local coyotes leave bunny parts everywhere for spoiled little doxies to roll in.

  253. I prefer to chew their little bunny hearts out of their little bunny chests wif my teefes.

  254. TiFW,
    WTF with the LM strike?

  255. Did you drive a Soul? It looks like it would have HUGE blind-spots in the back because of the thick pillars.
    Does it come AWD?

    My wife drove one and was pretty pleased with it, no mention of blind spots. No idea on AWD, but the Scion I’m looking at doesn’t have it. It’s a nice-to-have (USB for mp3), not a must-have (cruise control).

  256. Did I ever tell you guys the story of the trip to the lake, my Italian grandfather, and the guy who sold bunnies by the side of the road?

  257. *golf clap in laura’s general direction*

  258. Heh. Lauraw wins the internets.

  259. ….this is like the second or third time I’ve heard this lately, how hard it is to kill the wee fuffy widdums.

    You would love Mr. TiFW’s nephew – he freaked the TiFW girls out several years ago when he took a not-dead-yet bunny by its hind legs and *whacked* its head against the nearest tree trunk.

    Killed that sucker cold….

  260. Laura, I know, I get it, but I had a sheltered upbringing. The largest animal I’ve ever personally killed was a mouse, and only because it was caught in a glue trap. Modern life enables a certain childlike softness of character my grandfather would find laughable. I blame the Baby Boomers.

  261. Awaiting Granpa story. . .

  262. Speaking of wildlife, are racoons hanging around in broad daylight something to worry about? Like rabid?

  263. TiFW,
    WTF with the LM strike?

    According to Mr. TiFW, 500 of the 1700 machinists have now crossed the picket line.

    Apparently, their families want to eat….

    He’s still working in the factory – I guess his “guys” are still walking the picket line.

  264. I’m planning to snap the neck with my Dexter gloves.

  265. You’ve never even shot anything dead? No woodpeckers or squirrels even?

  266. LM? Lockheed Martin?

  267. I am kinda leaning to AWD because we get lots of ice here in the winter with really crowned roads and deep ditches. In my old shit-box Sube I can put it in 4-WD. Same with Anitas Ranger.
    I really don’t give a shit about all the multi-media (blue-tooth, USB, GPS, etc). I just want to be able to get groceries, whiskey, and tobacco.

  268. Leon, I’m sorry for that outburst.
    You are correct about the generational changes.

  269. How broad, vmax? Middle of the day?

  270. Retraction or not, “the world’s biggest pussy that isn’t actually installed in a whale?” goes to the Interwebz Hall of Fame.

  271. I aimed at a goose with my shotgun. I missed twice. That was my one and only hunting trip.

    I’ve shot the shit out of a lot of paper and steel targets, though.

  272. My Mexican roots killed chickens, lamb, calves, sheep, pigs, and cows in front of us all the time. I have a cousin who was taught to hide game from the BLM as a 5 year old. Dan calls me “Clarice”

  273. I have never killed anything bigger than an insect, not even a mouse. Softie.

  274. Lean,
    Yeah, The machinists are striking Lockheed Martin because of being asked to contribute to their healthcare premiums. Gosh, that sounds horrible, don’t it?
    Call the Wammbulance…

  275. Yeah, The machinists are striking Lockheed Martin because of being asked to contribute to their healthcare premiums. Gosh, that sounds horrible, don’t it?

    And Laura called me a pussy…

  276. If I ever leave GD, LM and Boeing are off my list unless they shed the unions.

  277. In my defense (or maybe to my credit), I lived in Oklahoma for a time. You shot stuff. Killing woodpeckers with a single shot using a 22 was pretty good bragging rights in fourth grade.

  278. OH, yeah.
    We lived in Hartford. Our parents used to take my sister and me to this lake out in the suburbs. This guy had a sign by the road, he was selling rabbits.

    My grandfather was riding along with us this one lake trip, and he heard my parents talking about the sign for the rabbits and had them stop.

    So they pull over into this guy’s yard and the guy sells my grandfather some bunnies; Mom said the guy was smiling when he saw my sister and me in the back seat of the Ford. Bunnies are cute pets.

    So, anyway, Nonno opens the trunk of the Ford, smashes the head of each rabbit and throws it in there.

    Mom said the guy’s face went blank, and they never saw that sign by the road again.

  279. The trick is to not give them a name.

    Once you name them, you start looking for other victims with the same name.

    I heard.

  280. Hahahahahasenpfeffer.

  281. I have never killed anything bigger than an insect, not even a mouse. Softie.
    Me too, Roamy. I’ve never killed anything bigger than a…
    Never mind.
    What?
    I’ve got acreage and a tractor! Would you want to waste the opportunity? Doesn’t EVERYBODY have a “LIST?”

  282. My Mexican roots killed chickens, lamb, calves, sheep, pigs, and cows in front of us all the time.

    I’m suddenly reminded of the story that PJM told us when she sold her goat to that foreign family and the dad bashed the goat’s skull with PJ’s kids right there. That I would NOT have wanted to see. Shooting seems so much more… humane (?).

  283. I saw a number of signs around here just before Easter, “pets or meat”, so you wouldn’t get that here.

  284. Mom said the guy’s face went blank, and they never saw that sign by the road again.

    HAHA! Do you have memories of that, Laura, or was the story told to you?

  285. If you’re gonna kill a feral hog, make damn sure it’s really dead before you go to butcher it.

  286. I can remember my Aunt Florence hauling a pig up by its back leg and slashing a froat over a barrel.

    That there was some interesting bacon.

  287. As I’ve probably said, if we get a steer to raise next year, I’m naming it.

    “Lawnmower”.

  288. The story was told to me several times by my mother, Cyn, but only last year I got my Dad’s version of the story, which was oddly different in some details. Like, Mom never told me they had to drive up to the guy’s house. She told me ‘the side of the road.’ But other than that it’s the same story, pretty much.

    My sister and I were toddlers at the time. So we have no memory of this. Although we did eat those rabbits for dinner that night.

  289. One of my fondest memories of my great grandmother (a/k/a Big Grandma) is her wringing a nice fried chicken dinner’s neck. One quick little flipping motion and … scene.

  290. Noon last week Andy and 5pm yesterday

  291. I’ve been to two survival courses in the Army. One gave you a chicken, and the other gave you a rabbit.

    I’d rather kill the chicken.

  292. I only kill what I eat.

    I only eat what I kill.

  293. That noon one’s kind of troublesome.

    Although there could be something disturbing wherever they’re hunkered down during the day forcing them to move.

  294. soooooooo how is everyone? *pulls up chair*

  295. Chickens are stupid and feathery. That makes it easier.

  296. My sister in downtown San Pedro has racoons that wander the neighborhood pretty much at all hours. Mostly toward evening, but really any time of day.

    And they ain’t skeered of you!

  297. Yeah, xbrad. Chickens are practically plants.

  298. My uncle Oscar had the chickens.

    He treated em like pets.

    Which was weird at dinnertime.

  299. Hey Sohos, long day? *hands you a beer and some duct tape*

  300. I named my tomato plant.

  301. Noon last week I threw the ball Zeke ran after it. While Zeke was on the far side of my deck a raccoon walked from under my deck to my orange tree and climbed up it.

    A few days ago I saw him drop out of a pine tree onto a chain link fence, then he walked down it.

  302. Cyn, Peej’s Filipino goat story! LOL. My Mom raised chickens for my Dad’s first VN tour. I hated those little peckers. My grandmother would do the neck twist pop and run. I hated the way they smelled when you would do feather removal but I didn’t mind the chicken killing.

  303. Can’t drink sadly…last round of HCG diet

  304. When I lived in Chama, there was a raccoon that would use the pet door to access the cabin. I locked the pet door and the masked freak would knock on the door and wait for admittance. I’ve had conversations with fat, entitled raccoons. I left the bears alone.

  305. What is your tomato plant’s name X?

    I am guessing it is a she. I planted a coconut palm this week I did not name it. If I am lucky in 9 months it will sprout.

  306. Rosetta hardest hit:

    http://tinyurl.com/77gul9k

  307. I can remember seeing the racoons at dusk and evening when I lived in the midwest, but in the daytime sounds like bad joo joo.

  308. >> Can’t drink sadly

    WHAT THE FUCK? I HATE THIS DIET!

    (I’m down 14 pds or so)

  309. What is your tomato plant’s name X?

    Phil.

    Phil Schiffly.

  310. Daytime raccoons are like Honey Badgers. You know the rest.

  311. If McCain were on the ballot somehow, I swear I’d have written-in Alvin Greene. Poor Rosetta.

  312. I am down 5 more so I have only 10 to go to hit my actual goal. It is crazy. Congrats on that Dave!

  313. cah-ray-zee. Yep. Thanks hon. And congrats to you too.

  314. Lauraw, (Using Cyn for verification), we don’t even count wrong way drivers in AZ if it isn’t a divided highway. Shortcut from Holbrook to Scottsdale doesn’t count because only a few miles are divided. If we were to include non-divided HWYS in our wrong way driver count it would treble.

  315. Sohitabel, you kick ass! More pics!

  316. We put up concrete barricades from here to Hillsboro because a) the median is too close (75 feet) and b) too many drunk truck drivers rolled into opposing traffic and killed people.

    I can remember my drives to Alabama, through Louisiana and Mississippi, the medians on I-20 are a football field apart.

  317. Or rather the lanes are apart.. ok somethin.

  318. I probably have about 10 lb to lose. The trick for me at this point is losing the right 10 lb.

  319. In the time of chimpanzees. . .

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

  320. Bedtime.

  321. I’ve been on LA rds that are worse than NM. I’m still seeing headlights coming right at me! LOL It was like life was in slo-mo every time we’ve avoided an head on. I hate east coast rds where the trees are so tall and dense you can’t see the sky. Also known as MD.

  322. yeah, but those tall trees keep semis from crossing over and killin you.

    Trade off.

    Got to rest.. night kids.

  323. True. G’night DiT.

  324. We do have a few roads that really are notorious killers for the cross over accidents. That road from Phx to Kingman that gets you to Vegas, Route 93, it’s a bad one.

    On more and more of our highways I’m seeing the concrete barricade deals and/or stopping cables. The prevent the cross over accidents but they’ve been known to bounce the cars back into the freeway now and again.

  325. LA traffic ain’t bad. Especially not compared to Chicago.

  326. I’m sorry that you had to go thru that scare at all, Oso.

    In all my years, I’ve only ever had to investigate a head-on once.

  327. Nighty dreams, Dave.

  328. How’s the heat in the desert, Cyn?

    It was a whopping 71 in Irvine today.

  329. A right-nippy 102 I believe. Our Fox affiliate was doing its morning show from D’Land and they were wearing pants and jackets. Had to laugh!

  330. AZ indians are better drivers than NM indians? WTF?

  331. Ha! Cyn and XB. I was at DL for June Gloom one year and all the SoCals were in parkas because it was 67 degrees. Almost as bad as Kaua’i and a 58 degree “freeze”

  332. In spite of the number of cars you see in their yards, I don’t ours have actual working vehicles.

  333. Your blood does thin out, don’t it.

  334. Heh. Yeah, 67 gets people wrapped up like Nanook of the North.

  335. Yeppers. Tucson and Yuma are worse than PHX.

  336. BTW, Yuma suxks!

  337. Having grown up in Washington, I’m a little surprised at how much time I’ve spend in deserts and semi-arid regions.

  338. When the oldest boy went on his school trips in March last year, to SF, and this year, to NYC, I was –> <– close to making him take a ski jacket. /mom off

  339. Ha on the chicken stories!

    My uncle’s family raised them. They used to let them out of the chicken house, to roost in the trees. One fall, there was a big ice storm, and all the chickens froze in the trees. They chipped them out of the trees, gathered up all of the chicken-cicles, and threw them in the barn until morning.

    Next morning, they found out they weren’t dead. Evidently it was kind of frightening to find live chickens when they thought they were all dead.

  340. Did I say Yuma sux yet? Both movies. Spencer Tracy. The name :Yuma. Ghey current lead. SUXXOR

  341. One November, we went to visit my brother in New Orleans. It was 60, and everyone working at the airport had winter coats, gloves, hats, etc. Except the crazy people from Iowa, getting off the plane in short sleeves. I wish I had shorts on, that would have really made them shake their heads.

  342. Yuma is awful, awful awful. I’ve had investigations over there, and a bit south on the Res too. I chose to drive home at 8:00pm rather than spend the night in Yuma, though I had no choice when I was on the Res. And reeeeeeally close to the border too.

    I’ll bet I’d have fetched a good price. Yep. I do.

    {shudders}

  343. XB, spent one week at SeaTac. I hear the NW is good for your skin. I loved Dam Neck. East Coast Coronado without the creepy bridge.

  344. chicken-cicles

    HA! Chicken Soup on a Stick!

  345. Cyn knows. Yuma. FU Yuma.

  346. I was born in Virginia Beach. I spent a lot of time bobbing around in the Atlantic at Dam Neck.

  347. What’s creepy about the Coronado Bridge?

  348. Bridge=Scary, but only if you’re not driving.

    Worse? That fucking cliff driving in the Salt River Canyons.

  349. Actually, I kinda hate driving across the bridges in San Fran.

  350. Is it foggy in San Fran?

  351. Dam Neck=paradise. Coronado Bridge=John Wayne Gacy. XB it doesn’t get any clearer.

  352. San Fran bridges were creepy before the quake.

  353. It can be, Jay, and just about any time of year too. That Mark Twain quote about ‘the coldest summer ever spent was SF in August’ is spot on too.

  354. Well, Coronado is very nice. Plus, you don’t HAVE to take the creepy bridge to get there.

  355. You don’t? How else are you gonna get there? Ferry?

  356. Other end of the island. The bridge there spans about 100 feet. And is level.

  357. XB, I know, but the Hotel Del loses something in translation when you know the local haunts. I used to really like Rosarita beach and Point Loma during whale season

  358. I said I liked Coronado, not the Hotel Del.

    I stayed at the Amphib Base. Which, a little ironically, has no amphibious ships. They stay across the harbor.

  359. I’d have liked to stay at the Hotel once, just to say that I did, but it was out of the budget even 15 years ago.

  360. Lunch there was out of my budget.

  361. Heh heh, no shit, for us too. We walked the beach and got some rocking sunburns that day; it was even a bit foggy too.

  362. Oh, and I just have to say this:

    You haven’t really eaten meat, until you have to spit out a little piece of buckshot that felled the animal. Mmmm, lead.

  363. If you walk far enough south on the beach, you can laugh at the youngsters going through BUD/S course.

  364. Shooting and eating are on my fun bucket list.

  365. I’m pretty sure we walked one end to the other, but never saw kids out there that day. May 1997. That almost seems like a lifetime ago.

  366. That’s a looooong as walk. And you can’t go all the way. They block off part of the beach at the school.

  367. If you come out to the midwest, come out for pheasant hunting Cyn. It’s quite fun!

  368. I dont have much of a bucket list but my fuckit list is a mile long

  369. I would like to go sailing again upon the Pacific. Even better would be cruising around the San Juans.

  370. You are on, Jay!
    ——————————-
    Yeah, it wasn’t all the way, Xbrad; the walk was not that far. I think it was rocks at one end and some fencing at the other.

  371. I like the way you think, Sohos!

  372. They make the BUD/S students get in the ocean until they’re about 1 degree above hypothermia.

    Then they pull them out, and make them roll around the lovely white sand until it coats every inch of their bodies. That’s called “making a sugar cookie.”

    As soon as their core body temps come back up a couple degrees, it’s back in the water.

  373. Mmmmm sugar cookies

  374. Uh, wouldn’t that lead to sand in your hoohah?

  375. I’d love to find out.

    Booyah!

  376. Good night, Xbrad and Teh H2. Sweet dreams.

  377. G’night, Cynabuns.

    I’m up to San Pedro tomorrow to do some work for my sister.

    Sadly, the USS Iowa isn’t open for tourists yet.

  378. Dogs Eat Ridiculous Portions.

  379. Xbad, the brother of mine that you met and I have talked about taking his boat out into the sound a couple of times. He has it docked at a condo on lake Wa. It really does sound like a great trip.

  380. So, anyway, Nonno opens the trunk of the Ford, smashes the head of each rabbit and throws it in there.

  382. wakey wakey

  383. Up in Michigan – rabbits are always sold “as pets or meat.” Even in the city. I did, though, see an adult man (with a small child) walking a rabbit in Lapeer. There was a leash and everything.

    Lots of 4H up here. they mostly show those animals, so not necessarily so big on the killing. My extra roosters are going to visit Ian’s girlfriend’s dad. She said he’d do it for me. Perhaps he can teach Ian?

  384. Someone should.

  385. THERE IS TO BE NO FREE RANGE CHICKEN HUNTING AT LAPEERPALOOZA.

    You can aim for the bunnies, racoons, fox, groundhogs, and deer etc. BUT NOT THE CHICKENS.

  386. I also like the three ducks that live on my lake, so no shooting them either.

  395. Carin’s party is sounding more and more lame-o.

    First we’re told not to dump bodies in her lake, THEN we can’t shoot artillery at the neighbors, and NOW we can’t hunt her chickens? Who keeps coming up with all these stupid rules? How are we supposed to fill two weeks??

    OK, I know you guys are only coming up for the weekend, but Scott and I are staying for two weeks. In her yard. In a van.

  399. LOL.

    You can shoot at the neighbors, but unless you bring a sniper rifle I don’t think they’ll be many worries.

    And I was clear about the bodies. They go IN THE SWAMP. not the lake. this is elementary stuff.

    I shouldn’t have to explain the whys.

  400. Demands to Deregulate Lapeerpalooza.

    1. Chicken are not people, they are food. They should be hunted.
    2. Dogs are people, and should not be eaten.
    3. For the sake of equality, women will go topless while swimming.
    4. Neighbors may be hostile, and artillery is acceptable.
    5. Dumping of bodies is first come first serve.
    6. Hands off my fucking beer. Unless you are topless. And a girl.
    7. Lesbian/high/drunk bartenders are required.

  401. I may kidnap lauraw while she’s here, keep her tied up in the basement, and force her to say amusing things to me whenever I demand.

    No more of this “when the mood suit me” bullshit.

    DANCE MONKEY.

    Scott – “Hey, were did Lauraw go? I saw her going downstairs”

    Me- “I dunno” [shrugs] “People sometimes just get lost.”

  402. 1. Chicken are not people, they are food. They should be hunted.

    Hunting a domesticated chicken isn’t exactly the most manly thing you could do, but I suppose you need to start somewhere.

  403. i’m amusing myself this morning,if not anyone else.

  404. *wonders how Car in is gonna find a lesbian bartender.

  405. *wonders how Car in is gonna find a lesbian bartender.

    I’m going to have to assign that task out. Hotspur lives in Ann Arbor. He should have no trouble finding one to bring.

  406. Hotspur recruiting lesbians. This is gonna be good.

    *gets popcorn

  407. Hotspur recruiting lesbians. This is gonna be good.

    *gets popcorn

    Yes … that part is problematic. I bet his wife would be better at that job.

  408. She’s so sweet and has that great accent. How could they say no to her?

  409. 4. Neighbors may be hostile, and artillery is acceptable.

    What town is next to Lapeer? Let’s invade it. For the glory of Greater Carinia, which is what the new territory will be named. We’ll install one of her children as a puppet despot.

    “People sometimes just get lost.”

    Yeah, that’s gonna start happening a lot, especially to the unfortunate former residents of whatever-the-fuck-used-to-bordertown.

  410. For the glory of Greater Carinia,
    ————————-
    Hahahahhaha. I could just see the classic scene of the army (us) rushing the battle ground. Then Car in looks back, and we’re all sitting down, drinking, bumming smokes from the flying monkeys.

  411. Yeah, that’s gonna start happening a lot, especially to the unfortunate former residents of whatever-the-fuck-used-to-bordertown.

    *pictures lauraw in fatigues and combat boots.

    DANCE MONKEY.

    *and a fez.

  412. Hahahahhaha. I could just see the classic scene of the army (us) rushing the battle ground

    I’m picturing the basic training scene in Stripes, myself.

    wiser and wiserbud out front, “Aaaarrrrrrmy training, sir!”

  413. Well, the closest town to invade would be Metamora.

    We could take them.

  414. They’re gonna be pissed when we pass the Low Carbs Edict. We’re going to have to have a pretty good armory.

  415. I think we should go with the Spartan-Helot model.

    Work out all day, garden, whatever floats your boat, while they wait on us hand and foot.

  416. I was thinking more along the lines of the Eloi-Morlock model.

  417. Does Metamora still have the Haunted Spot™?

  418. CARIN!!!!!!!! You killed me! I have tears. HAHAHAHAHA!

    Good morning everyone!

  419. This place, HS?

    http://www.hauntedusa.org/bloodroad.htm

    Creepy

  420. Yep, that’s the place. We used to take girls out there when we were in high school to scare the shit out of them.

  421. Ohhhhh, spooky! Scary!

  422. I may kidnap lauraw while she’s here, keep her tied up in the basement, and force her to say amusing things to me whenever I demand.

    Tied Up In Carin’s Basement Theater

    Episode 1: Fluids Needed

    Carin: (walking down the stairs, whistling)

    Lauraw: (tied to chair; makes a gutteral animal noise)

    Carin: (stops in front of chair, hands on hips, smiling) Good Morning! How did you sleep?

    Lauraw: (struggles feebly with restraints, grunts, looks up and desperately tries to smack parched lips, begging for water)

    Carin: This silent treatment business can’t continue, Laura. Tell me a joke.

    Lauraw: (body is wracked with sobs, but cannot produce tears)

    Carin: Please. You big faker.

  423. Scenes from my basement a few weeks from now

    Car in : It puts the lotion on makes a funny or it gets the hose I turn on Tool. And then Radiohead. And then Queens of the Stone Age. I’ve got all day and easily 18 hours of music from these three artists alone.

    Lauraw: wimper

  424. Wow, carin should be sent to gitmo

  425. I just got back from picking up chicken feed scouting for our attack in Metamora.

    They’re not even going to know what’s happening. [claps hands in glee]

    Those bastards have cable down there. CABLE. I am so going to enjoy dominating them.

  426. We’ve always been at war with Eastasia Metamora.

  427. Good morning, H2.

  428. HI CYN.

    I’m gonna kidnap Lauraw at Lapeerpalooza.

    Don’t tell Scott. I don’t want no trouble.

  429. Mums-the-word!

  430. Metamorassholes.

  431. I’d kinda like to see Car in doin’ that whole domination thing….

    Latex?

  432. Metamorassholes.

    Exactly. You know, I think they must have some executive or something living down there which is why THEY have cable and I do NOT. So, i think during the invasion we must find and capture this individual. The ransom will be a cable line to my house.

  433. Metamora. Stupid name. They’ll thank us for invading them and beheading the town council.

  434. It’s a suspicious name…….rearranges letters MARE MOAT!

  435. beheading the town council.

    But NOT before I get my cable.

  436. rearranges letters MARE MOAT!

    No way! Ha Ha… that whore.

  437. A moat filled with cake.

    We’ll have to put the mudders up front.

  438. A moat filled with cake.

    Orly? I’ll volunteer to be on the front lines; it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

    *puts on elastic waist Thanksgiving pants*

  439. Looks like you got your sugar cookie, Cyn:

  440. Ha, I was almost too scared to open that link, xbrad.

    Almost. Not quite.

  441. Oh my. That’s a sugar cookie alright.

  442. Theo has the BEST pics.

  443. I was going to make that the header pic but I see that someone has put up the Friday BBF Boo Bees pix.

    *checks watch*

    It is almost time.

  444. I think I might have found out why they have cable Car in

  445. HA! The second song on that album? Little potato.

  446. think I might have found out why they have cable Car in

    http://images.hhv.de/catalog/detail_big/00063/63473.jpg

    yea, I figured there was some sort of “inside deal.” Us little people don’t matter.

  447. New post.

  448. It’s “poat.”
