Happy Independence Day and welcome to a patriotic edition of HHD!
I’m bringing out the big guns today.
I know what you’re thinking.
Patriotic means soldiers, right? (Special appearance by Pupster)
Navy men, too.
Get inspired for a workout.
Beat the heat and think of cool places.
Okay, that didn’t work for cooling off. One more pic to wrap this poat up.
God bless and protect all those who serve, and God bless America.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.
HOTSPUR UPDATE
HotBride has been doing some rearranging of the artwork in my War Room.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m awake, but I really didn’t want to be first here.
I ate too much salty crap yesterday so I’m retaining a couple of pounds of water. That or I accidentally ate and metabolized 7000 kcal into adipose tissue. Seems legit.
Low salt doesn’t seem to work for me, though there has to be a happy medium.
Wakey wakey.
Slept in a bit – I was busy yesterday. I woke up at 5:30 to see if it was running weather. It was not. Went back to bed.
I didn’t JUST get up, but I did sleep in.
Very nice Roamy.
Might be more the veggie oils they use at the chinese buffet, now that I think about it. Salty food I make myself doesn’t do this.
MSG, maybe, Leon?
I feel like I’m starting all over, after my trip. I ate sandwiches and cereal.
It’s possible, but I don’t eat anything with a sauce when I’m there, so it’d have to be in the seasoning. I think the fried squirrel is the culprit.
Great HHD, Roamalita! Happy 4th, H2!
Ok I lost three women last night. No idea where they are.
I woke up in the parking lot. No pants.
I hope you learned something, Dave.
Fuck learning.

I love that guy.
Netanyahu understands America, and loves us for it.
Obama belligerently misunderstands America, and despises us for it.
Time to go lift weights until I see stars.
Bibi knows what it means to fight to preserver this idea.
Yes he does.
*Sigh* I love that man!
Since we’re apparently not serious about this citizenship requirement, I move we trade Obama, Romney and 2016’s first-round draft pick for Bibi.
I second the motion.
Happy 4th Serfs.
I was just wondering how many dogs Obama will eat in the contest today.
Happy Independence Day!
However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, Farewell Address, Sep. 17, 1796
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, May 9, 1753
Prophetic, non?
hubba hubba to the llast hunks. Wow it is a Happy 4th!!!!
I wish I could 1)type, or 2) see
Sohos, do you have my pants?
*looks at the hunk buffet*
God Bless America!
This is for you, Roamy (it’s gots ‘splodeys and everything):
(There’e a whole lotta 4th of July music at my place, if anyone wants to hear it)
I don’t know about the rest of you, but on a day like today, my resolve to beat these bastards is stronger than ever.
Happy Independence Day, proto-human knuckledraggers.
May the Balls of Liberty never stick to Tyranny’s Thigh.
Sorry I passed out in the back seat last night, Dave. It won’t happen again.
Also, not meant to be a downer but we still have guys dying in that shithole, (Obama’s war) Afghanistan.
Roamy, I give this poat a hundred thumbs up!
Well done!
Oh, and I want the guy in the snow. Don’t even think about it ladies.
EoJ has such a way with words.
There was snow?
Dave, that link was awesome! Netanyahu choked my husband up.
“I don’t know about the rest of you, but on a day like today, my resolve to beat these bastards is stronger than ever.”
Yes.
>> It won’t happen again.
Bet me!
Great quote, MCPO.
It was the stupid Jagermeister, Dave!
“Sohos, do you have my pants?”
hahahahaha….A Dave classic.
heh.
…
so do you have em?
I need pants
Yes, I do, I had to throw up in something. I’m going to buy you a smaller size seeing how you are losing weight.
These pants don’t fit me me at all.
But I woke up wearing them, so they must be mine.
*cinches belt.
ga. Guy in snow looks like my college boyfriend.
Except a real man.
(he was a sort of hippy liberal)
Except the guy in the snow is a real man.
Just wanted to clarify.
It’s eerie, actually.
I don’t care if you have “history” the guy in the snow is mine.
I didn’t read the article, but can someone tell me why Laura Ingraham is mad Romney is on a jet ski? It’s not like he takes incessant vacations like Obama.
Some pigs are more equal than others. . .

Ok, you can keep em. I’ll need something in 36 soon.
>> But I woke up wearing them, so they must be mine.
Oh wait!
I don’t care if you have “history” the guy in the snow is mine.
No, you can have him. Even though he’s a different person, I would probably have nasty flashbacks.
I’ll keep my shirt on.
My shirt is off, it’s sunbathing time.
My shirt is off (as are my pants). I decided to fix another fence post.
Digging holes in caliche, it is the suckage. Had to be done before Monday though.
*shoulders my post hole diggers, wipes sweat from my brow, looks over my shoulder at Ca rin.*
I had them on my head until Mare turned green and I gave them to her *laughs wickedly*
PANT HEAD!
Thanks Sohos…..I didn’t want to throw up in Cyn’s purse.
That’s my favorite Sousa, MCPO.
Dave is looking so responsible today.
How you doin?

Mr TiFW likes the ginger at XBrad’s link….
Breitbart had an item speculating that it is either Ryan or Jindal for VP. I waded into the comments and one person had the most airtight argument against these two. According to him Ryan and Jindal already have jobs bur Pawlenty is unemployed. Ergo, Pawlenty is most suitable.
Who can argue against such brilliant logic?
Happy Independence Day, fireworks bootleggers!
That ginger in xbrads link has no pants either.
I am also celebrating 6 months freedom from tobaccy. But I have pants.
Oh hi Ca rin.. just mixing a little quick crete in this here bucket.
Tushar – Jindal brings little – Louisiana will go, solidly, to Romney. Rubio can bring Florida – essential for victory. What does Pawlenty bring, other than his sparkling charisma?
Good job, Mohawk. Beating any addiction is such an important win!
Bunky Independence Day
I like it!
I think the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise thing is interesting because I think Scientology is stupid and this whole affair is making it look creepy. It’s like she had to escape.
Given Rick Scott’s recent activity, I think it’s also pretty safe to pluck Rubio from the Senate.
Also, I have too much time on my hands.
Strange but I hadn’t paid much attention to Rick Scott but he appears to have balls and I like that on my men……hhahahaha
Rubio is so young, though; having said that, he has such an amazing career ahead of him and could really get a lot done where he is now, I’d almost hate to see him tapped for VP.
I think it’s time to start making breakfast.
Scott has problems. His approval is around 31%.
Plus, he threw Zimmerman to the race-hustling wolves.
mixes concrete, without pants.
The hard part is done (digging that fuckin hole)
I think Scientology is stupid and this whole affair is making it look creepy.
The hospital I was born in is now this. I’m not a fan.
This is just crazy talk, of course, but our Jan Brewer doesn’t take shit, knows how to give shit, and has some sizable balls herself. But AZ is already in the bag I think.
How Quik is Quikrete?
“Plus, he threw Zimmerman to the race-hustling wolves.”
Yikes, I admit, I haven’t been paying attention. I didn’t even know Scott was the governor (of my old state).
Yikes again, Sean. Is scientology Christ based? Why the cross? What I’ve read is a bunch of crazy talk mumbo jumbo, idiot spit.
Beating any addiction is such an important win!
I’ve been kicking anorexia’s ass for the last 30 years (and counting)…..
Oh, btw, way to fuck it up, Google.
“I’ve been kicking anorexia’s ass for the last 30 years (and counting)”…..
hahaha…It’s my bitch too.
I hadn’t heard about Scott’s actions re Zimmerman. Do we think he’ll appoint a crappy senator, though?
Is scientology Christ based? Why the cross?
I don’t think it has much of anything to do with Jesus. They probably put it up there to emphasize that they’re a “church.”
Car in, did you hear that Mr. Beasn got hisself an iPad?
It’s the shizzle.
Alas, he fiddled with my computer and got it working again….probably so I wouldn’t steal his new toy.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? Really? Really?
http://www.wwtdd.com/2012/07/jack-reacher-has-a-trailer/
I’ll probably watch it anyway.
Because it’s the 4th of July, and we need some excitement:
Sean, that’s what I thought, using the cross to their advantage and then talking about Zenu and other crap that makes no sense.
Great post and happy 4th my peeps!
I’m thinking Scientology is more “cash” centered than “Christ” centered.
Look who is all ready for the BBQ in the outfit her Grandma made!

BINGO
AWWWWWWWWW TEH BAYBEE.
Great outfit!!!
What an absolutely wonderful time in your life, MCPO!
awwwwwww
Mare – I just wish we lived about 5 hours closer!

Cute pic, Grampa. And nice outfit!
Awesome garb!
*Looks in closet, sighs*
Mare, you got my curious:
It’s a “crossed out” cross.
Important Update:
Brisket looks and smells amazing!
CuriousITY.
Anyway, it’s all bullshit.
About as legitimate as something we could make up here at the H2. Of course. Ours would be MUCH more entertaining.
She’s such a cutie. I presume you and SNO have already procured shotguns to fend off young swains?
Brisket looks and smells amazing!
Yea, but can your husband dig fence-pole holes?
*bats eyes at Dave
“Anyway, it’s all bullshit.
About as legitimate as something we could make up here at the H2. Of course. Ours would be MUCH more entertaining.”
That is EXACTLY how I feel. Utter crap. L. Ron Hubbard was a criminal and a weirdo.
Wait, you mean the crap we make up here isn’t legitimate?
dickhole
“Yea, but can your husband dig fence-pole holes?”
Yes, he worked like a dog as a youth with summer and during school jobs. However, Dave’s limp and eyepatch have a certain something that my husband doesn’t have.
*looks for baseball bat and bb gun.
I’ve worked with scientologists before at a chiropractic office. They’re fucking weird. They run their businesses as the religion. All these words. I had to be Dev-T’d before, it’s just creepy. Then we were flown to a seminar in Oregon because it was supposed to help us run the business better……….I just liked the nightlife in Portland.
Well, well, well, look who shows up, the only other Hostage who makes me look sane.
Well, the crap I make up is legitimate. But since you don’t really exist, Mare, I question your BS.
hahahahahaha….I was referring to Hotspur!
Have I regaled you all with my plan for First Church of the Holy Center-fire Cartridge? It’s my clever plan to protect my 2nd Amendment rights by way of the 1st.
See, my religion requires me to carry a firearm at all times. Full-auto carry is required for certain days of observance. Like Tuesdays.
*looks around room*
Who’s here?
ooooh, hotspur
yeah
Yeah, L Ron figured out the tax loop holes you get while calling yourself a religion….BAM! Xenu and dev t’s and oreo-5’s become legit.
Seriously, Roberts sounds about as legit arguing law as L Ron making up a religion.
Chief, DG is just the cutest little thing!
Look who is all ready for the BBQ in the outfit her Grandma made!
Oh man, between you and HERSELF, that baby is gonna be spoiled!
sooo stinking cute.
Poat Update!!!
Heh. Now I’ve got Raquel Darrien leaving spam at my blog. Almost worth clicking the link.

Quit picking on teh Joos, Roamy!
More like picking on the Mooslims.
All Mooselimbs should be required to hold a copy of the U.S. Constitution, printed on pigskin, when they take the oath of citizenship.
Choose – your fucking moon god or America!
How very Jeffersonian of you, Chief.
Muslims need to assimilate:
Assimilation was very Jeffersonian.
Being forced to choose between your faith and your country is not.
I was reading these tweets and I do seriously wonder why those with the means stay here if they hate it so much. Also, I’m done giving a crap about slavery. Really don’t care anymore. We’ve got bigger problems than whining about slavery.
http://twitchy.com/2012/07/04/shameful-left-celebrates-independence-day-by-slamming-america/
It looks like the roads on my commute are absolutely lousy with chicory right now. I’m gonna have to go walking with a basket and acquire enough roots to try roasting and grinding some of my own.
Assimilation doesn’t make you make that choice.
Sean M. – I agree, but I-slam is not a religion, it’s a death cult.
ALERT: Gardeners in zone 6 or lower: The first Jap beetles are emerging en masse TODAY. If you pick the clusters of mating beetles off your plants when they first emerge and congregate, you will be mostly free of them for the rest of the season. Go get your jar of hot soapy water and take a walk around the yard.
They drop when disturbed, so hold your jar underneath them and knock them into it with your other hand. Trying to ‘pick’ them is hit-or-miss.
This has been a zone 6 garden advisory.
If they are forced to choose I’m sure those staunch muslims will choose their religion of hate. Yeah, Arab spring!!
It’s a parasitic mega-gang with a deity added for legitimacy.
Looks like a stallion, (note the comma) mare.
Checking my garden zone as we speak!
“It’s a parasitic mega-gang with a deity added for legitimacy.”
Bingo. A deity who was a pedophile.
I’m zone 7B in the Hardiness zone finder.
Well, the deity’s prophet was a pedophile, but yeah.
Right, Leon.
Did you find any? Carin is probably a zone 5 and should keep her eyes peeled this week.
Well, I’m glad that we can all agree that somebody else’s religion is wrong. Shall we move on to the Hindus next, or is that not cool because Tushar might drop by?
LauraW – We’ve had ’em here for about a week. . . all over the golf course.
No, the Hindus are cool, Sean. They don’t have Jihads put on my life or whole countries.
Tushar seems pretty non Jihadi to me.
Sean M – Last time I checked, Hindus had no compunction to convert or take off my head and enslave my womenfolk. But hey, your mileage may vary.
Did not see anything Laura.
And I wish we could ALL agree.
Fucking Banglar Japanese Beetles!
Scientology is worthy of mockery, Sean. Islam — whatever its origins — needs its own version of the Reformation before it can share the planet with other faiths.
I am setting a post.
I agree with you 100% on Scientology, leon. See 1:06.
I also agree that Islam is in some serious need of reform, but on a day like today I’m not really on board with comments that basically amount to “ditch your stupid religion or GTFO.”
SeanM. – No one is asking you to agree with me.
Well, then, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
HAVE TO!!!

My wife has informed me that we have tickets to today’s Tigers game. I’m not sure about sitting in 95+F heat, but I don’t see how I can say no.
Take me out to the ballpark
Take me out to the game. . .
Oh, if we go, she has to be on the field in dress blues 50 minutes prior to the first pitch. So… yeah… maybe we’ll just grill steaks and watch it on the teevee.
On a day like today we celebrate freedom! Islam is not really into that. So, “I’m not a fan.”
They can stay if they assimilate (don’t push your anti freedom sharia on me or mine) otherwise I do say, “GTFO.”
“…maybe we’ll just grill steaks and watch it on the teevee.”
Sounds like a plan.
The new ball park rocks. . . but it is in Detroit.
No bashing Detroit. It makes Carin cranky.
And when Carin is cranky, we all pay.
I asked my camry if it wanted to go to Detroit.
It laughed and then shat on me.
I spent about 3 hours kickin’ the crap out of our forsythias.
Those things are relentless.
No bashing Detroit. It makes Carin cranky.
true dat.
The new ball park rocks as does the neighborhood it is in. But it’s too hot today.
(Leon – there is nice, safe parking near the ball field – tell your Camry to man-up)
I’m going to get a Jap beetle trap and feed ’em to my chickens.
It’s so humid today that evaporation is broken.
I’m staying inside as much as I can. I’ll go out for my swim/laps in a bit, but THAT’s hit. We’ve got heat and humidity today.

cleaned the entire apt, spent two hours at the pool, got DD to work, had lunch @ T-Bone Toms, and now time for a nap before I have to get ready for a party. Nothing like living in the moment.

Evaporation never seems work in Michigan, at least not for sweat.
Listen up!

Pretty sure I burned my back again. 😦
Man! Holidays can be s-o-o tiring!

We’re watching Firefly three!
For anyone who may be interested – “1776” will be playing on Turner Classic Movies in less than an hour…..
Awwww – so sweet, Chief!
Pure sweetness, MCPO.
Sorry to hear the hump got sizzled, Laura. My shoulder got cooked yesterday, and this little kid hanging all over it makes it feel sooooo much better.

Hey – who was it who was talking about cinnamon capsules for diabetes treatment? How much, and how often?
My steroid medication is making my blood sugar go up into the “iffy” range, and there isn’t any history of diabetes on either side of my family.
I really don’t want to go on any more medications…..
HEY!
I just moved my sprinkler over to the next Crepe Myrtle.

TiFW – I take one 500mg caplet with every meal.

Can’t the chickens forage for themselves. Are they that lazy?
PS Watching Firefly too. Who wants to help me beat the crap out of the idiot who cancelled it?
Pepe – 2 iron or baseball bat?
Looks like the SE corner of the country is going to have an “interesting” afternoon:
http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/southeast/weather-radar-rs?play=true
MCPO – Bring both, but a 2 iron sounds perfect for a beat down, nice and whippy.
Tifw, I take one 500mg capsule with every meal too.
*clinks glasses with Andy*
*puts on a better-covering shirt and goes back out*
Teresa, I think Tushar was mentioning that. I’ve heard of it. I think the general dosage is a 1g capsule (pharmacy, not grocery) with a meal, but it should say on the jar when you get them. You could also add cinnamon to meals, but it doesn’t always fit, and dosage is tricky.

Racist!
It has its uses. For instance, those times when quicklime just isn’t enough.
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/july-4-defeat-obama-telethon
What “type” of cinnamon do you use (or are there different types)? Is one brand better than others?
Was reading something about “Chinese” cinnamon being better, but haven’t done enough research yet….
You just want the type in capsules, I don’t know that you need to go farther than that.
ow
Dan experimented and made green chile & bacon potato salad. I’ll let y’all know if it worked.
I’m tempted to try frying up the plantains I bought. I think they’re ready.
Hmm, the internet says they should be much darker. I’ll wait.
Crazy motorcycle race on the Isle of Mann
http://theopsec.com/index.php/isle-of-mann-motorcycle-race/
HS, just noticed the update. Hotbride does good work.
pepe,
That looks like fun! Well, except for the 200mph ‘dynamic dissassembly’ followed by the ‘bursting into flame’ thing.
Yes but there is something wrong with the top row. The one in the middle is clearly closer to the one on the right.
MTV3 (the spanglish channel) is showing a marathon of the cruelest reality show ever: FriendZone. It’s about people in it trying to get out of it.
The lesson so far is that girls can get out of the friend zone by getting their hair and nails done, guys can only get out of it by leaving town and never talking to her again.
I am outta here. I hope you all enjoy the 4th and the firework shows. Be safe my friends.
OMG holy crap dude got out of the friendzone.
My mind: blown. My whole paradigm must be realigned.
You noticed that too Scott?
Nope, false alarm. He’s back in the glass case.
Aw hellllllllllllllllllll naw. Gay friend zone? WTF? Does this happen?
I may have to watch something else for 15 minutes.
ROAD TRIP!!!!!
Gay friend zone: confirmed. I learned something new today.
One other thing I am learning: confession is good for the soul. Everyone feels much better afterward, even if they lose the friend. It’s the uncertainty that’s killing them, and knowing is better.
I AM SHARING VALUABLE WISDOM!
Chief, you commented:on July 4, 2012 2:36 pm
>>Sean M – Last time I checked, Hindus had no compunction to convert or take off my head and enslave my womenfolk. But hey, your mileage may vary.
What specific instances can you cite when Hindus tried to convert (I suppose forcibly, because trying to convert non-forcibly is basically people standing on street corners talking about God)?
Also, when exactly did they try to take off your bald head or try to enslave your fair lady?
Do Hindus even proselytize?
OMG, the last dude really DID escape the friend zone. Holy shit, my paradigm really is all aflutter.
I was just enjoying the wall color and the pics. Now Scott and Andy have me getting a little OCD.
I’ve been on the cuddle couch since before 2pm with 2 dogs freaked out by fireworks. Dan is at work. iPhone is small. Really need an iPad
Leon, Judaism and Hinduism grew in an environment where they were nor competing against existing established religions. Thus, unlike Christianity and Islam, they never felt the need to have elaborate proselytizing, PR or Marketing operations.
Now, I personally would love to kick MCPO in the ass and steal his lady, but that has nothing to do with Hinduism.
Top right needs to move to the right just a bit. Its further from the window frame than bottom right.
The one in the middle needs to go left just a tad.
Tushar, he’s saying Hindus are okay, it’s the muslims that suck.
Tushar – I used the wrong word; I meant Hindus were under no “compulsion”. Sorry. I shouldn’t try to type while on the telephone.
Scott, now you have me looking at the actual pictures and the directions that the subjects are facing in relation to the central picture. AUGH!!!!
TUSHAR Get yer ass back here and read my apology!! NOW, damnit!
I just had to block my nephew on facechimpdouche. I was getting ready to rip his OWS Philosophy degree a new one. Dan said “Block his ass, don’t respond” Grrrr
You are right Oso, I hadn’t considered that.
You should talk to your vet. On the 4th we would give Ruby a dog valium, crank up some bluegrass music and she was fine. For some reason she liked bluegrass.
Rain delay in Detroit. Nobody’s in the stadium seats, looks very damp. Storm’s just hitting us here.
I read it the way you intended MCPO. I just looked up compunction……wow….good one.
All fireworks around here were postponed because of the 30% chance of thunderstorms.
30%.
Yep. Pussy central.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
Happy 4th, all.
Scott, my Gingy feeds off MaryAnn’s freaking out. Snuggling them in blankets and having music on seems to help. We have to resort to puppy pads because they can’t relax outside. TMI.
Ha ha. Chief, I was pretty sure you mistyped something, but I loved acting all offended and stuff. I thought you typed Hindu instead of Muslim. I did not realize you typed compunction instead of compulsion.
If burning gums is a signal of success, it looks like green chile potato salad is a keeper. Dan thinks it needs fresh jalapeño.
Tushar – I’m old AND easily distracted!
If Dave Barry was still alive, he’d say that “Burning Gums” is a great name for a rock band.
You may feel different tomorrow.
Tushar, you’re not the Hindu Jihadi right?
Hahaha. Blue Bell ice cream for dessert.
OSO – STFU about ice cream, K?
Strap on a pair. . .
Did anybody smoke near anybody else’s fireworks stand today?
Tushar – I’m old AND easily distracted!
There he goes again – I’m sure he meant “detracted.”
Can’t the chickens forage for themselves. Are they that lazy?
PS Watching Firefly too. Who wants to help me beat the crap out of the idiot who cancelled it?
Yea, but I get a ton by my house. I’d rather trap those and feed them to the chickens rather than let those get away. They love our siding for some reason.
We have to leave in a bit to go watch some fireworks.
Because I like to reminisce about when we had slaves. Or something.
Chief, I only get 1/4 of a cup.
Firefly was SO good.
TV’s sucked since then. Pretty much.
When did black people start hating the 4th of July? Seems like our post racial president kind of sired that in.
What the hell is Firefly?
“What the hell is Firefly?” I thought everyone owned the complete series and Serenity. O.o
I just have them on DVD. Dan wouldn’t let me upgrade to BluRay.
Oso – DVD or BluRay? . . . this is a critical question!
Chief, we have rules after the VHS conversion. BluRay has to be under $10 bucks to justify the rebuy. I have Archer season 1 on DVD for 7.99. Still waiting for season 2 to drop. DVD upconvert is almost BluRay quality. Almost.
I’ll assume it’s gay vampire stuff.
I thought everyone owned the complete series and Serenity.
Nope. Seen ’em, but don’t own ’em.
The secret planet scenes in Serenity were filmed at a high school about five miles from here.
Scott, cowboys in space. ADAM BALDWIN!!!!
Scott, it’s pretty great TV. Basically, a western set in the future. I love it too.
Morena Baccarin, Summer Glau, Jewel Staite, Christina Hendricks, Melinda Clarke
I think Scott is being purposefully obtuse.
Great. We now have rain, thunder, and fireworks. I’ll never get the claw marks out of my thighs now.
You would be wrong MCPO.
Tigers got rained out I think. 2 hour rain delay on the 4th? It’s not starting tonight.
Scott is an Hostage not a Moron. Morons are the Firefly nerds. I don’t know what the H2 obsesses about.
Scott – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_%28TV_series%29
I guarantee he has no idea. I barely do. I saw a clip once.
I’m watching “Return of the Jedi”
Is there a Moron equivalent of RINO? LOL
I don’t know what the H2 obsesses about.
Goats, rubber fists, recipes, etc.
I wanted to upgrade my Firefly to BluRay but it hasn’t gotten cheap enough. Sigh. I just had an huge gash of skin taken out of my thigh. Stupid bootleg fireworks. Dan just took the dogs to bed. White noise machine on.

Scott, I watch MLB, NFL, and PGA. I gave up on Fox news.
Whoops. I forgot about Friends. I watched that.
I think the wax seal on my upstairs toilet is failing. Probably just going to replace the whole unit along with the downstairs one.
I wouldn’t mind, but I just did the same thing 2 years ago.
Wasn’t Friends more than 10 years ago now?
My google said it ended in 2004.

PGAMad MenA few shows on ABC, Wednesday nights only
And I miss the old History Channel. Stupid Pawn People.
I want to see Mad Men. What day and what channel?
I hear there are dozens of channels these days.
Sunday nights on A&E; the season just ended though.
We used to get one of the *Ad On* packages for Direct-TV so I could watch Justified, some Military Channel stuff, and MotoGP.
It got cut when we re-budgeted. Now we watch the “local” 9 o’clock news and go to bed. If we sit down early, we see the last of Big Bang or Simpsons before the sNews.
Scott – Do you have “On Demand”?
not A&E… AMC
If I think a series is interesting I buy it on DVD and sell it if I don’t like it. Cheaper than subscribing. I really want to watch Breaking Bad but I get distracted by local shoots. Bryan Cranston has moved here. They film on Dan’s HS campus and in his childhood neighborhoods.
How can Direct-TV cut loose all the great programming that was on AMC? I watched AMC for over a month begging people to call and go to the website. It’s just craziness.
Cyn – Depends on what kind of $$ AMC was demanding, doesn’t it?
Today on AMC was Glory, followed by The Patriot, and finishing up with Independence Day. I own all three. Why watch with commercials?
True, true.
Doesn’t the new season of Breaking Bad start up in a few weeks? That’s not a bad series either.
Hi, Cyn! I’m craving a burger in Heber. And a pitcher of beer.
Don’t know. The cast threw out the first pitch and had a celebrity softball game at the Lab though.
I’m down 17 lbs and craving all kinds of stuff!
Ooo, the Red Onion. I forgot about them. I was just about 30 minutes away from there this weekend too. Shoot.
My visiting friends claim I’ve started to look like Bryan Cranston. I think it’s the goatee.
Either way, is that a good thing?
Just think of how svelt you’ll be when you’re there, Chief! Hubba hubba.
*finishes stuffing face with chili cheese dog and contemplates whether to go with ice cream or cheese cake for dessert*
He throws like a girl. He has really adapted to the local hipster attitude. Cyn, the Red Onion has great burgers and chills the pitcher and the beer.
I like the look, Leon. You’re good.
Hang in there, Chief. Cravings pass, jiggles linger.
My hubby is jealous that I saw fireworks in DC before PBS took over. I was a kid. Steps of the Capitol. No Dem influence. Marine Corps Band and Army Choir. Lots of fireworks.
The hubby and I were talking about how long the fireworks shows used to last. It was an hour, and sometimes more I remember as a kid. The biggest show here now is a whopping 24 minutes.
Just about time to go fire some off in the back yard.
I’ve been sick all day. No fireworks for XBrad.
That’s no fun, Xbrad. Feel better soon.
I remember being on the deck at the Anacostia CPO Club and watching the Capitol fireworks of well over an hour.
I was posting on Facechimpdouche about the American 4th festivities at the American School. Civilian, Military, Local, and Embassy friends were all invited for a traditional 4th. Fireworks were amazing. I have yet to find the same thing stateside.
“I hear there are dozens of channels these days.”
hahahahah…..I thought I was the old man here.
“Mom! It’s not dark enough yet!”
Oso, are you from the DC area?

I remember watching from the shores of the beach in Indiana the big fireworks show in Chicago. It seemed like it lasted forever.
Paulitics, we were stationed near there. Navy brat here. Philip Nolan country.
Check your email, Vmax.
I think you still are, Mare. Now, with a pretty Grace Kelly scarf. Heh.
Cyn, my buddy Rick and I took his 21′ boat out onto the lake once to watch. Much better view. Pretty awesome show. You could get surprisingly close.
Oso, I was born and raised there. Nothing like going down to the band shell and listening to the military band play on weekends. Can’t remember if it was the Navy or Marine band. My mother used to take me there at night after work.
I’ll bet that was something to see from out on the water.
The big one here they charge you money to get into the good areas to watch. I think that there might be some shows, too. In our heat, I am almost content to shoot some stuff off in the back yard and then watch the fireworks on TV. It’s never the same unless you get to smell the sulfur though, is it.
Paulitics – They took turns when I was stationed in D.C.
“Moooommmm!!! It’s tiiiimmmme!!!”
*grabs first aid kit and flashlight*
Paulitics, I was a USO kid, I saw so many real acts that I was unable to comprehend. We also had stinky hippies beat on our station wagon and berate my mom. I learned at an early age that I had no clue. Friends’ dads were still in VN.
Cyn, water bucket!
CYN, pressurized water hose!!
We live out in a “Rural Area”, all 5, 10, 20 acre pieces. Since about 1700 this place has sounded like a bad night in Viet Nam. You can hear the M-14s, AKs, and AR-15s, with what sounds like the occasional claymore! Lots of shot-guns, too. The “fireworks” won’t start until it’s dark. Another 90 minutes.
Some folks are blowing-up what sounds like several sticks of stumping-powder(low-yield dynamite). I hope nobody gets hurt.
Listening to the scanner today, there are LOTS of folks that are driving after too much to drink. Maybe they won’t get home to blow themselves, or their loved-ones, up.
Have a safe evening all. I miss my country.
God willing, we’ll take it back in November…
Night Y’all. Finally dark here and Shit just got real. Bebes are freaking.
Well, we were supposed to have a flyover of Marine helicopters a few minutes ago and nothing… zero.
Chris, we just watched a drunk 20-something take a header over his bicycle, stagger around in a circle, then get back up on the bike and zigzag away.
Must be great to be young, stupid and have no future.
They’re stealth helicopters.
Which, of course, can’t be seen by the naked eye.
That’s how steathily stealthy they are.
I’m here.
I’m just really stealthy.
Apparently, not nearly as stealthy as all you motherfuckers.
Sitting out on the deck, watched a young forked-horn deer wandering around the east pasture. Looks very confused by the noise and where he can go to hide. He, and a little brown bunny, ran into each-other, scared each-other, and froze. Then, the bunny ran for the swamp-roses and the deer jumped a foot into the air. The deer ran off to the south. He should have stayed here. Neither us, nor our neighbors to the south are shooting or blowing shit up.
Oh well, how would he know.
Lots of scared dogs, cats, and horses tonight.
Haven’t seen any stealth helicopters tonight. But, I guess that’s the point, isn’t it?
America, FUCK YEA!
That was actually a fun time. Lots of low-tech stuff and we just have the youngest here (the other one is up with Grammy in the mountains) so he got to light them all. Just a joy to see his face light up as the fireworks did.
God bless this country and the men who’ve helped keep it free.
Just got home. So exhausted! The fireworks were fantastic. Goodnight all
Nighty night, Sohos.
Please Mister Postman, look and see
Is there a derp in your bag for me?
The rest of this week is going to be weird. All day yesterday I thought it was Sunday.
If Carin ever wakes up, ask her if she has a guest list for lapeer yet.
wakey wakey.
I know, I’ll send out an email.
How many will be there Friday night?
That’s my question.
If Mare shows up today, could some nice person tell her that I did a food diary for yesterday as requested. TIA.
Does it have to be a nice person?
No, I suppose not, but I was trying to pre-select for someone that might be willing to do a favor.
Can’t help ya
8g of branched-chain amino acids
Seriously, wtf.
Mondays suck…wait
I want autophagy but not catabolism, Pupster. Being fasted means I get my body to do some needed cleanup and apoptosis (self-death for cells that aren’t functioning well).
If I lift in that state, there’s a chance my body will look for free amino acids to start the process of muscle repair and not find any. In that case, the “decision” might be made to break down some muscle tissue that wasn’t injured so as to repair the tissue that was injured. Dosing with a small amount of BCAAs mitigates that possibility.
Yeah, it’s a week with two Mondays and two Fridays.
My gym emailed me at 350AM. Powerhouse is powerless, and thus closed.
*panic*

YUM. I love that stuff.
Basically, when you don’t eat for awhile, your body starts to do some beneficial stuff. Cleaning up junk, killing malfunctioning bits and metabolizing them, etc. If you engage in vigorous exercise, though, you damage muscle tissue, and your body starts to try and repair it right away. Muscle repair requires amino acids (protein’s building blocks) and you only store protein as muscle tissue. Since I don’t want my body looking around for aminos and finding only my existing muscle, I try to make sure I’ve got a small amount of available ones when I’m exercising vigorously.
We went to the Lapeer fireworks last night. They were very nice- pretty big for a “smallish” town. Ran into people we knew, sat with them. Plenty of room in the grass and the kids wrestled up a huge soccer game in the dark.
fun fun fun.
YUM. I love that stuff.
That makes one of us. Blech.
Leon, you lost me at the fasting stuff 😉
Pupster wanted a ‘splaination, so I went ahead.
BUS TOUR.
I mean, it’s an Air Force One tour, while being shuttled by the bus in town.
We really are truly stupid.
Your diet is to hard to 1) do and 2) understand.
LOL. Plus, my husband would divorce me.
Work time.
I meant, of course, it is too hard for me.
My diet is far simpler than rocket surgery, and half the people here do that every day.
The basics are actually stupid simple, it’s the tweaks around the edges that make it look complicated.
Can’t you just eat an egg for readily available protein?
Did he buy new buses this year, Car in?

Can’t you get that from a steak? Or tofu?
Nope, J’ames. He has to ride around in those buses from LAST YEAR.

THAT’s why I can’t get it. I have an liberal arts degree.

Yesterday morning I told HotBride it felt like Saturday. Last evening on the way to some friends I told her it felt like Sunday. She said: “Well, looks like you packed a whole weekend into one day.”
She thinks like that.
Work also has no power and won’t until 8pm.
Can’t you just eat an egg for readily available protein?
I could, but that would be enough to push me out of the fasted state, as well as potentially allow for an upset stomach during the workout.
I’d say this is a fairly compelling visual representation of the UE numbers:
