Good morning all, and welcome to Monday. Upon this cheery occasion, I want to publicly thank Car in for welcoming myself and my wife into her home and sharing gratuitous amounts of fine food and liquor with us. I had a fantastic time and will cherish the memory.
Now, on to business.
I shuffled together this week’s photos using my typical advanced algorithm (of grabbing them at random from a huge pile), and I already know who you’re going to guess is the tranny this week. Mostly because I’m pretty sure y’all said she was a he last time she was here. Know what? Pthbt, that’s what.
Anyhow, if you find a nice girl and she already has a ring, it’s probably still okay to look.
But remember, no parking.
Ever wished you were a post?
Active engagement of muscles while stationary can provide benefits similar to standing. I’m sure that’s what’s happening here.
20 years ago, women would never have thought — en masse — to take cheesecake shots of themselves with cameras and shared them with the entire planet. At least that’s my impression, I could be wrong. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing, but it makes Monday material easy to find.
This right here, though? This is tasteful. Sumo deadlift FTW.

Wow, got it before 7am.

The look on Mrs. Leon’s face when Carin said, as they were leaving, “Glad we now know you’re not inflatable.” was fucking priceless.
Awkward!
She was so nice. I’m just not very good at giving compliments.

I’ll probably say something equally awkward should I ever meet Mare.
It’s just my way.
Mrs. Caruthers had a lovely time in spite of all that transpired.

I think spouses need a quick prep on moron humor before they’re thrown into the mix. Just so they know that they’re not *really* being criticized.
I wish I’d gotten the chicken coop finished before you came. It’s functional, but not very attractive.
i am saddened by the fact that some of the laperv gang is up at this time in the morning after a meatup weekend….
i am hoping that it’s because you’re still drunk and / or are coming down from a horrendous jenkem binge….
jam2, I spent most of yesterday recovering. That helped.
Chicken coops are only supposed to be functional and clean. “Pretty” is an afterthought.
btw: Rat-tatoo-eek (pic # last) doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy feeling… and it looks like someone photoshopped some of the tuck…
Well, it obviously IS an afterthought.
Sigh.
But I have to look at it all the time. Husband doesn’t trust me to finish it myself, and he’s too busy.

You’ll have to pardon me for second-guessing the dong-detection of someone that can’t count to 6.
It’s a good sign that it still bothers you, I guess, that means it might get done at some point.

Please tell me they didn’t really kidnap your cock.
At my house, the risk is that I’ll get something just fixed up enough that I can tolerate it but not be happy with it, then leave like that until I have to sell the place.
You should finish it and then claim it was an act of vandalism.

My husband can be a perfectionist, which takes a LOT of time. If I do it, he’ll see the one or two boards that aren’t perfect and it will drive him crazy. But he can pretty much ignore it in it’s current state.
That’s a lot of coffee. Caffeine in that dosage is best taken in pill form.

they would have been giggling like manics as they pulled out of the driveway, but then he’d have started crowing or something, and he would have barely made it out of Michigan.
True. They’d have failed at that plan from the get-go.

Yesterday, my boys had friends over and the dogs were so much better. I think having all the people over is helping them.
Can you guys come back next weekend?
Thank you Leon. Glad your wife didn’t stage an intervention.

Spouses get assimilated. Mr. RFH called me into the living room because a Shake Weight commercial was on.
Shouldn’t sumo dead lift girl have her hands closer together?
The only strict rule is where feet are relative to hands. Feet outside is generally considered sumo. Ideally, you want to place your hands as close to shoulder width as possible in either case, so as to minimize the moments about your wrist/elbow/shoulder.

There is a pattern regarding spouses.

There is a pattern regarding spouses.
What is that?
Chicken coops are
only supposed to be functional and cleansupposed to be airtight and equipped with a small camera and a way to deliver electric shocks. “Pretty” is an afterthought.FTFY
‘Mrs. Leon’ was delightful. Young and pretty, whip-smart with a sardonic delivery, and she sassed every word that Leon said. I’m certain he hired an actress and the real Mrs. Caruthers is activated by bike pump.
Good call, Carin.
Don’t let him get away with that.
The top of lauraw’s head looks quite young.
and she sassed every word that Leon said
She only does that in front of strangers, so it’s fine.
“What is that?”
Our spouses are awesome.
There hasn’t been a jerky one yet.

you guys made spouse jerky?

Yea, really I have to be inspired to come up with something offensive. I took Leon’s porn addition and ran with it.
Are there pictures? Where? and is coffee NOT considered water?
I stand corrected. Scott reminded me that I did get some of that fried turkey. Forgive me, I’m still suffering from some sleep deprivation.
Jay’s going to have to give me something to work with for the next meetup if he’d like me to insult him, his wife, or their marriage.
I picked on Leon a little bit at the meetup, but I also said nice things about him to his wife, so it evens out.

We could meet at my place next time, no roosters. It smells like a 4H fair when the wind is wrong, though. And no lake. Or deck furniture. I can fix the latter, at least.

Early last evening I came down with an acute pain in my left shoulder. By the time I went beddie at midnight it was kicking my ass. Couldn’t sleep all night. Got up at one point to google if it is a heart attack symptom.
Anyway, I’m tired, sore, and cranky, and I have no idea why my shoulder hurts.
Did you tackle me at some point Carin?
It could be prostate cancer.
You should get that looked at.

Although I would like to pat you on the back after meeting Mrs. Hotspur. Just not that hard.

I’ve gotten my left shoulder in fits if I slouch to one side on the couch too long, but typically it only ends up really sore if I sleep on it incorrectly. I’m also right-handed, but most of my activity patterns are ambidextrous. I mouse left-handed most of the time to try and exercise my brain.
Rub some dirt on it, Hospurt.
More details emerge about a shooting in Aurora, CO:
http://is.gd/VsvXS7
Hey Leon, did you develop your signature left-hand mouse style during your porn addiction?
Severe pain in the left ARM is a warning sign, not the shoulder.
Did you get jolted hard when you had your arm extend (like catching yourself in a fall)?
By the time I went beddie at midnight
Did you take your “binkie” with you when you went “beddie”?
If it keeps up, HS, you might want to see a doctor, just to rule out a heart issue. Don’t want to scare you, but as you’ve already noted, it can be a warning sign.
Then again, just sitting in different chairs/positions than you are used to at home can cause those muscles to cramp up on you.
If nothing else, maybe someone can shoot you and put you out of your misery

Actually, no, I developed some mild cumulative trauma disorder from FPSers and switched to LH mousing for work so I could save my good hand for gaming. I don’t play PC FPSers anymore, but the habit stuck.

Andy’s Tea Party Post got headlined at Hot Air and attributed to Gabe.
This is going to get ugly.
I tried that (something marketed as “Kitten Milk”, rather) when Tycho wouldn’t/couldn’t eat toward the end, wife bought some without me having looked at the label. I can’t speak for Catmilk, but Kitten Milk is utter garbage. It’s soybean oil and corn syrup with some multivitamins and coloring agents.

But did you guys get the point of the ad?
They were trying to say that Bain shipped jobs overseas, but it was after Romney left Bain and it pales to what Obama’s done.
Democratic Underground has a pro-2nd amendment group on their messageboards. They and the anti-gun DUmmies have been scratching each others’ eyes out, especially over the last couple days.

Mare, the B roll while Romney’s singing are scenes of empty factories. I would blame that more on Obama than Bain. I’m just glad my brother got the hell out of Detroit.
It’s an ineffective ad because anyone who is paying attention has already made up their mind, and anyone not paying attention doesn’t know (or probably care) what Bain is anyway.
In other news, my sister the teacher got enough flack about the “I Support Obama” pic on her Faceplant page that she took it down.

And they should pay. Nothing happens in a vacuum. I would bet lots of people, LOTS had ideas about Sandusky and kept their mouth shut for the the sake of Penn State Football. WE ARE PENN STATE. A statue to a coach who was still there….A COACH. Talk about a ripe culture for corruption.
The Freeh report shed some light on Paterno’s character that makes him look like a scum bag to save the football program. It’s killing people who love him and I understand that, but Paterno’s actions encouraging keeping it quiet (Freeh report, page 24) allowed a fricken child RAPIST to keep doing it for another 14 years.
It was the whole Penn State/Joe Paterno (Jo PA for God’s sake)/Football is SOOOO important that made it, evidently, too hard for him to do the right thing. The whole football program should pay.
Although, I’m not much for redacting wins. The only thing good about it, is an asterisk will appear next to the almighty’s name.
By the way, ESPN interviewed a woman who worked at a restaurant across the street from campus who stated there was talk of Sandusky for years.

Its two nuclear plants — San Onofre in the south and Diablo Canyon on the central coast — together have provided more than 15% of the electricity supply that California generates for itself, before imports. But now there is the prospect that San Onofre will never reopen.
Will California now find that it must import as much as 30% of its power?
…the latest data shows that California energy production from all sources — oil and gas, nuclear, hydro, and renewables — has just hit new, 50-year lows…
Even though I live there, rolling blackouts are just what we deserve.

“It’s not their fault the program was brought to shame and ruin, but the program they are part of was brought to shame and ruin.”
I agree.
When all is said and done, can we not forget that coaches, janitors, assistants, the AD, and I’m sure others, kept quiet about CHILD RAPE for years to PROTECT A PROGRAM (or their job).
What bothers me, is that I would have had a hard time believing it if there hadn’t been an eye witness. And it’s VERY RARE to have an eye witness. This could have been covered up forever.
Yeah, it’s a ‘set fire to everything and salt the earth’ kind of message. You put the prestige of your sports program above the law, above basic human decency, there will be all kinds of collateral damage.
This collateral damage cannot be avoided, and can’t be pinned on anyone but the guilty. This terrible result is not the NCAA’s fault. This is ENTIRELY the fault of the coverup conspirators. Who should be individually indicted for committing a criminal conspiracy to facilitate child rape.

I think I’m going to start a super PAC that has one goal: No member of congress or government shall be allowed to have anything named after them until they are dead for a minimum of 20 years.
*donates to MJ’s superpac*
No member of congress or government shall be allowed to have anything named after them until they are dead for a minimum of 20 years.
You just know we will be inundated, over the next thirty years, with B. Hussein Obama Middle Schools, B. Hussein Obama City Parks, and B. Hussein Obama Precious Infrastructure Bridges.
Could your super PAC maybe make an exception for public toilets?

“Yeah, it’s a ‘set fire to everything and salt the earth’ kind of message. ”
And it could have been worse.
This is a great time for Penn State to show its real character, stop excusing behavior, say good riddance to the the Paterno era, make it the school/football motto to do right no matter the cost and move on.
Um, Eric…

I think it’s a damned shame all around. What are ya gonna do? A monster was allowed to destroy innocents, and people in positions of responsibility let it happen.
Tear it down, and pray those left in the aftermath find a way to rebuild it and recover dignity.
And absolutely, absolutely go after the enablers who are still standing and have yet to face justice for their crimes.

Nice to see you all agree that innocent taxpayers should foot the bill. . . Thanks, I appreciate the support.
Master Chief, what appropriate punishment would not have affected the taxpayer?
…and who are you blaming for the tax hike, if taxes do go up because of this?
“Nice to see you all agree that innocent taxpayers should foot the bill. . . Thanks, I appreciate the support.”
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Considering the fanatics in Happy Valley, you will sell out your games, your hotels, restaurants and shops will still get the fan base. The fine was on Penn State, considering their income from football, 60 million is nothing. Heck, considering their endowment it could be paid in one installment.
I’m really not sure how that will be paid out, but I do doubt they’ll put an assessment on your property tax on the next ballot to pay the NCAA ( the 60 million is to go into funds for victims and anti abuse programs).
And MCPO, I have to believe what you’re really angry about is the shame and negative attention that Sandusky and Paterno (and others) brought to Penn State. You can’t possibly be more angry about “imaginary taxes” than you are about the abuse.
Otherwise you truly are “part of the problem.”
And I don’t believe you are part of the problem. You’re just angry a great and successful program was brought low because a few people didn’t do the right thing…..I think you would have.
Hey, there are always these guys. And they have the added bonus of beating Harvard!
“And they have the added bonus of beating Harvard!”
I love them already!

>> Nice to see you all agree that innocent taxpayers should foot the bill. . . Thanks, I appreciate the support.
I believe we have all acknowledged that innocents are affected. You may blame Jerry Sandusky, Joe P, the president and the AD and the rest of them who inflicted it upon “the taxpayers”.
There were innocents who got dragged down by Tailhook too. Still had to happen (and incidentally, they got off light). The Navy managed to pull themselves out of that morass, and Penn State will too.
Wait, I meant, Gimme a “Q”….

It’s a good thing I’m not the head of the NCAA; they’d have been booted out. Period.
MCPO, my dickish computer didn’t play the video. But, from the comments I understand what it was and I’ve seen it before.
Was there deeper meaning to you linking that vid?
Any program with kids needs to take a good look at what’s going on here. Thanks to a few pedophile priests and the bishops that shuffled them around rather than addressing the problem, every single volunteer at both my kids’ schools has to have training. You are told repeatedly you Must. Not. Be. Alone. Ever. with a child that is not yours. No matter what. Even if nothing happens, if you leave them open for another lawsuit, they are going to toss your ass under the bus. There must not be even an appearance of impropriety. Background checks, speak up if you suspect something, go to the authorities first.
Every college, every youth program, every youth charity is going to have to do the same thing or be prepared for the fines and lawsuits.
Goodnight. Weekend hitting now, a day late.

It’s okay, Mare. There’s room on the Bleacher Pom Pom Squad with me. We smuggle in booze to the games.
no yawning, oh shit.
sleepy Dave
Long weekend is at a close. Back to work tomorrow. I hope everyone had a wonderful time in MI. I am sorry that I couldn’t be there.
We smuggle in booze to the games.
Graduation ceremonies, too.
NIghty dreams, Laura.
Roamy, my diocese in Florida, HAD THREE CONSECUTIVE PEDOPHILE BISHOPS, and a corrupt parish priest. As an active member of the church, a coach, a school volunteer, developer of a sports booster program, and a donor….
a)pissed others scorned and literally shunned me for speaking out,
b) pissed I gave so much money,
c) with a couple of other people retained a high speed Palm Beach lawyer for $5000, and got screwed from the diocese hiding documents we know they had via a source.
MCPO may be ticked about the Penn State deal, but I’ve been there too.
“We smuggle in booze to the games.”
More my speed anyway!
Alright, tomorrow is another day. (I should ™ that) and we will all feel better about Romney’s chances of winning and therefore all will be well!

He is responding to my “Tailhook” comment.
I would rather not speculate on why he chose to comment in that manner.
Gimme a “B”!
I thought so Dave. I too will just enjoy the company of funny people.
Chief,
I recall that happening to an F-4 crew, also. By the time the front seat fired, the aircraft was inverted and shot the pilot into the ground. Shitty way to die…
*waves my cane around and yells at the kids to get off my lawn!*
Oh fuck. I have a cane.
Goddammit. I’m only 52! Sonofa….
Friend of mine smuggled two bottles of champagne into graduation for four of us. I was obnoxiously three sheets to the wind. I vaguely remember being stone-bored by the speaker and joining in with a group singing Christmas carols.
You won’t be toting that cane around for long, Dave. Your progress sounds terrific.
(Although the representative picture of knee surgery has 100% determined to solve my joint problems with weight loss, diet, and babying my joints.)
I just want to say that I hope there is a special place in Hell for people who try to use kids as pawns in some sick games they play. That was my weird segue for the day.
>> Although the representative picture of knee surgery has 100% determined to solve my joint problems with weight loss, diet, and babying my joints.
Good call by you.
I wouldn’t wish this on Obama. And I don’t like him very much.
Roamy, did you ever go back to that church? As I recall you left and went to a different one when on over zealous volunteer insisted your family be there all day for Easter practice (?). (Been there, you did the right thing to say, “ah, NO!”)
Tail-hook was a PC hit-job, as was the Capt. Honors railroading. Political Correctness run amok by “Navy Leadership” that is anything but.
Adm Harvey should be the first to the gallows! Let him take his sycophants with him.
They have completely lost sight of being a “Fighting Force” and are all about “Diversity”, and Political Correctness.
They have a “Diversity List” for promoting anyone. Woe to any “Competent Seaman” if he happens to be white and male.
The Navy is scrapping fighting-ships early, RIFFING sailors, and building LCS (Little Crappy Ships) to pander to contractors and buy votes. LCS would not survive a tiff with a traditional Chinese Junk.
The Navy has lost it’s way. It’s not MCPO’s Navy any more, nor mine.
Dave, you could end up being a poster child for H2 joint replacement.
It looks horrifying but it you sail through this I will encourage OTHERS (not me) to do it.
Chrispy, have seen that in the other branches also. It’s a kick to the gut.
WTF is in charge of the military and how did so many lib, pc douches get places of power?
Living with that kind of pain constantly might change a mind. Glad I don’t have to deal with it.
Sounds like you’re doing well, Dave. Glad it’s going good.
Mare,
When you start getting stars on the collar, you gradually go from being a military officer to a political tool. The more stars, the farther along. Some, like Patraeus, bear-up pretty well. Others, easily go over to the dark side.
Mare, no, I haven’t been back since before Easter. Mr. RFH was willing to wait until there’s a new priest, with the hope that he could restore some sense, but that won’t be until October. I said it’s not fair to ask for the parishioner tuition rate if we’re not financially supporting that church, so we finally moved our membership last week to one of the other churches that supports Mini-me’s school. The kids are good with the decision and have volunteered to be altar servers again.
Just good ol boys having a little fun. No harm. No foul.
I wouldn’t wish this on Obama. And I don’t like him very much.
I would, but I’m 1/32 black. My heart, you see…
“The kids are good with the decision and have volunteered to be altar servers again.”
Good character.
I have pics of my girls alter serving together….they kind of make me cry when I look at them.
My oldest is good about praying but not about attending church.
(don’t really know how I feel about that, kind of sad about that too. My youngest is going to be confirmed at her University chapel….her decision, and it makes me happy, although I haven’t been to Catholic church in about 6 months…sad face)
My kids know our problems with the church are independent of their feelings/thoughts about the church.
Dave,
Of what, specifically, doest thou speakest?
The priest at the new church said, “You know we might not do everything your way here either.” I answered, “As long as you don’t abuse your volunteers or hire (idiot), I’ll be fine.” He laughed and shook my hand.
When my youngest had her “first Reconciliation” afterward she said to me, “I feel like dancing!” I was crying on the spot, I thought, “this kid gets it!”
F’ing church screwed that up.
I am out
VMAX!
Did you do the interview today? How’d it go?
Vman…interview?
Wait I sent my resume and cover letter saturday. I called and it was received, but the owner is out until next week.
I really suck. I cannot complete a hand written offer for work. I am tossed into Graig’s list candidates?
Mare wins
Vmax,
Hang in there. It WILL happen!
Chrisp, sorry, I’m almost out, but I don’t wish to speak in riddles.
The Tailhook incident was a blemish upon Naval Aviation, the PC-ifying of the Navy that preceded it and followed notwithstanding, and I’ll concede that is wrong. It doesn’t make the 1991 molestation of female (and some male) sailors wrong. Not one bit. That’s a strawman.
The larger point I was lamely attempting to make is complaining about innocents getting caught up in the backlash of crimes, violent buggery against little boys, that’s wrong. The Penn State program has earned its lumps and it’s getting them. Children were molested, and a college football program swept it under the rug in the name of preserving a college football heritage.
Just like (as others here have mentioned) the Catholic church crawfishing in some cases, but not all cases over numerous crimes of pedophelia was wrong.
I hope that was clear.
I’m out now.
No interview. We will call you.
I have heard that 400 million times before. I was excited!
For a few hours.
I have 50 thousand words in my book!
speaking of that vman I will email you tomorrow
Dave,
Okay. We will NOT co-mingle Penn-state and the USN.
Have a good evening, my friend. Rest well…
back at ya
My abuser was family but he was also a school bus driver. He had applied to be a foster grandparent and I thought I was going to have to go public with my story when he was left paralyzed by an hospital error. I’m still fucked up and the majority of the abuse happened over 45 years ago. This Sandusky crap has really set me back and I am going to have to tweak my therapy. I did find 20$ in a purse in my closet.
Good evening ladies!
My goal tonight is to keep the buffoonery to an absolute minimum. The last few shifts have sucked.
Phat, any word on how the C-17 crew could have landed on the wrong airport? I mean, it was VFR and daylight. WTF?
xbrad,
It was massive buffoonery. I haven’t seen the prelim report yet, but I’m curious what airport they had loaded into the FMS. KMCF is MacDill AFB and I think KTPF is the field they landed at.
This was such a high vis screw up that I wouldn’t be surprised if C-17′s are barred from doing visual approaches for a while. You know how it is: one guy shits his pants, we all have to wear diapers.
The world wonders. And someone always finds a way to upghefukt systems designed explicitly to avoid such incidents. Such as the FMS.
BTW, I’ve been studying up a bit on NexGen, and the various methods they’re coming up with for ATC. I’m a little surprised to learn that text messages aren’t used more.
We use the CPDLC (cockpit data link) in the C-40, but only over the ocean. It’s nice to not have to monitor ATC on a 8 hr pacific flight.
I’m taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me derp again

Man, Tuesday’s off to a slow start.
With quotes like that, MJ, you would have been a hit at Lapeerpalooza.
Along with the whole midget tossing thing. leon would have won, I’m sure.
Only because I practice.
Leon, I think you would have been able to take down MJ. His only option would have been to run from you.

He prefers the term “little person”, Leon.
I’m telling you, random act of reverse vandalism. Blame me, if you like.

It’s just a matter of when.
Perhaps if I let him give me a “lesson” on how to do it?
That could work, Carin. Bat the eyes, too, we’re suckers for that.

He’ll notice that eventually, but it might be too late by then.
I read Gab’s piece. I liked his wording at the end. they way he summed it up.
Gabe is now one step closer to a guest spot on Red Eye.
Did Gabe bring a plus one? If not, I happen to know the other gay republican. They would make an awesome couple.
I bet he came up with the idea for that article while smoking a cigar on Car in’s dock.
Good job Car in.
Gab’s plus one couldn’t make it.

Yes, or perhaps while scratching his feet? Either way, I’ll take credit.

You should leave the old one up for comparison, though.
I just saw that! Cool.
Huh.
what bit of information is possibly missing from this article?
Just curious. My radar went off.
A group of “DC teens” savagely beat a gay couple.
Huh …
At least the article didn’t include the proximity to the nearest Church of Latter Day Saints and suppose a Mormon connection.
Awesome new post with amazing photoshop skills.
