Good afternoon wankers, jackoffs, and those of you wishing you were RIGHT NOW!11! and welcome to another BBF™, a Hawt Chick posting a Hawt Chick Edition™. MJ is a lazy fuck or off traveling or some shit so he couldn’t do today post. Sure. Whatevs.
I can’t believe this children’s song I wrote has as many views as it does, but it’s filled with so many innuendos you’ll know that I thought about you when I wrote it.
Hard to believe, but today’s model is brand new to the H2. She was born in Bury, England on 09/11/86 and graduated 32E-24-35 in her high school class of 69. She ain’t bad, for a blonde, and she shaves so there’s that. Knowing that you’re reading none of this and skimming to find her name so that you can bing her for more juicy pics, please take a moment to wipe the Jergen’s from your hands to give a friendly wave to Rhian Sugden.
I have it on personal authority that you skipped school a bunch so let’s try to make up for that and learn some crap, shall we:
| 1743 | By the Treaty of Abo, Sweden cedes southeast Finland to Russia, ending Sweden’s failed war with Russia. | |
| 1812 | Napoleon Bonaparte’s army defeats the Russians at the Battle of Smolensk during the Russian retreat to Moscow. | |
| 1833 | The first steam ship to cross the Atlantic entirely on its own power, the Canadian ship Royal William, begins her journey from Nova Scotia to The Isle of Wight. | |
| 1863 | Union gunboats attack Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, for the first time. | |
| 1942 | Marine Raiders attack Makin Island in the Gilbert Islands from two submarines. | |
| 1943 | Allied forces complete the conquest of Sicily. | |
| 1944 | The mayor of Paris, Pierre Charles Tattinger, meets with the German commander Dietrich von Choltitz to protest the explosives being deployed throughout the city. | |
| 1945 | Upon hearing confirmation that Japan has surrendered, Sukarno proclaims Indonesia’s independence. | |
| 1960 | American Francis Gary Powers pleads guilty at his Moscow trial for spying over the Soviet Union in a U-2 plane. | |
| 1978 | Three Americans complete the first crossing of the Atlantic in a balloon. | |
| 1998 | President Bill Clinton admits to the American public that he had affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. |
Helloooooooo Rhian…
Now go and try to carry on for the rest of the day all you lotion-using freaks.

she looks nice
that last picture looks like someone was tipping a bottle while using the airbrush.
She does seem very friendly, doesn’t she. I’ll bet she helps Boy Scouts and old ladies cross the street.
She seems nice.
D’OH carin!

Cyn you know I love your posts! Stupid finger!
If this is how my teacher would have taught history when I was in school, I would have paid a hell of a lot more attention.

Ha ha ha … I love stealing your line.
Good luck with the workout, Pepe. At some point I need to test my 5k time. I don’t ever want to run for exercise, but I’m getting tired of my runner friend taunting me, and I’m pretty sure I could whoop her if I had to.
“Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said the president’s camp would seek no further disclosures if Romney would release five years of his individual tax returns”
How to respond? Hmmm? What would be appropriate? It’s right on the tip of my tongue. What was that phrase?
Oh yeah!
Ahem. Fuck you.
And no, I am not clicking on the Monica Lewinsky link.
nope. Not gonna do it.
No way, no how.
Sorry.

That guy has gotten more and more pathetic since Loggins broke up with him.

How is your 5k time, car in? I went to the town where my parents used to live and went for a long run. Beautiful hills, trees, and open fields. Central MA is really nice…and cool. Only73 in the evening.
I nominate Cyn to be our official BBF doer from now on.
Thanks, wiser!
I haven’t run a 5 K in race conditions, so I have no idea. I don’t really even run that short of a distance in training, so honestly I’m clueless. At my best I can only get a bit below 9 min miles, so … in a race I’d hopefully hit somewhere around there.
I’m more interested in longer distances, and as long as my time is respectable, I’m cool with it.
But, I promise that if I raced Leon, I would beat him.
Whatever it took.

Exactly!
Ok, time to go work out for a few hours.
some douchebag on faceass s claiming that Romney paid zero in taxes.

Not you, gal I work with that runs 5Ks. If I have to run farther than that for any reason other than to save the life of my wife or child, I’ll just sit and wait patiently for whatever’s coming. Better to be rested and comfy than die tired.

Is today’s model over 18? I’m going to need to see her ID.
And by “ID” I mean “poon”.

The next time I move it will be to the morgue in a body bag.
Has anyone been banned or cried like a big fat pussy since I was here last?
Rosetta! What’s up, Herr Douchenbaggen?
begin mini rant
It’s after the Ryan pick, and things look pretty good for choosing such a “controversial” figure. It appears the doomsayers have been denied their collapse of the campaign on account of promoting someone who -gasp- actually talks about entitlement reform, even if it’s too little.
So I was behind on a couple of podcasts, released before the Ryan pick, and I thought I would see just what the wizards of smart were advising. On a Ricochet podcast, the clowns respectfully queried Haley Barbour about what a wise choice would be. After stating a few bromides, Barbour declared that we don’t need to “jazz up” the ticket with an ideological figure. This wizard of smart thought, among others, that a great choice would be… Tom Ridge.
On a 3 Martini Lunch, Jim Geraghty mused that a possible Ryan pick would be exciting but -gasp- talking about entitlement reform is a loser, hence Ryan made him reluctant and nervous. How to address entitlement reform without discussing it was a question left not only unanswered but unasked by this wizard of smart.
Okay. Snap back to the present and how Ryan is playing. These GOP and elite media establishment types have proven one thing yet again: Their only purpose is to stab liberty in the back at every chance. Play it “safe,” don’t ask for too much change back to freedom and limited government. The last thing most Republicans and their friends with high profile media careers want is a return to classical liberalism and liberty. The only thing these leeches care about consistently is their careers. In a time when it has never been more needful and propitious to agitate for liberty, they want to avoid the hard work of selling liberty through persuasion and instead play the game of public relations and brand marketing.
Shorter version: Fuck you, Republican establishment. Insert Churchill anecdote about whores and prices.

I thought I was at PW for a second there.
Wow you talk a lot.

Sounds like you’ll need to take out behind the dumpster for a hobo and show him.
I realized where I was when the rant didn’t end with a call to arms and a declaration that Mitt was us losing more slowly.
Yea, but fuck those establishment types. They’re half responsible for the state we’re in.
Why do I always get the blame?

WTF people! Got the bug deflector installed on Grandpop’s Little Red Wagon. The folks in the service department are a hoot. The manager is a former Marine and the scheduler is an Air Farce type.

Next time, mare, tell your husband to go to the Canadian post office instead. They’re quite polite there.
I mentioned that so no confusion over FED EX or UPS, or any other private deal.

You better get another propane tank… And you are going to be up all night changing wood chips
My husband and I ALMOST finished a 12 pound brisket over a week.
An 8 pounder was about right for a few days of dinners, lunch and snacking.
I usually don’t read the comments at HotAir, but someone made the suggestion that Mitt should do a commercial releasing tax returns of those who are unemployed due to Obama’s economy. The Chevy dealership owners, the businesses closed by the overzealous EPA, the ones who had been working on offshore oil, etc.
on a brisket, it’s at least 25-30% fat. Although scott got his from a butcher, so it might be trimmed better.
True jay. Lots of fat removed and cooked off.
I see MJ made it just in time!

If they can win with that this country is already well and truly hosed, done, fin, lost!

I really have to stop listening to Ricochet. Hearing Mike Murphy* lie about his old VP prediction and trash Ryan in a passive-aggressive manner is giving me a headache.
*He has advised such nationally prominent Republicans as John McCain, Rick Lazio, Jeb Bush, John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Spencer Abraham, Christie Whitman, Lamar Alexander, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was, until January 2006, an adviser to Mitt Romney
Murphy flatly predicted Rubio was “a done deal” last November. He said it here.

We take first born to college tomorrow, I fear my wife may be nervousy breakdowny and will cause a scene that will force me to put her down.
We get that wonderful experience next Thursday.
So looking forward to it.
I don’t know which was harder for momma, taking her first born, or taking her baby 4 years later.
Watching my brother-in-law when his oldest daughter entered the military – it was a true study of emotions.
Strange how the off-spring of the inhabitants here seem to generally have their act together better than the yewts-at-large. It is to ponder…
Since I was the third child to head off to school (one girl and one boy already gone and done), my folks were experienced and somewhat jaded. My mom’s basic comment? “Write when you learn how. Bye.”
Didn’t help that my older siblings went to “respectable” schools in Boston, and I went to an engineering (GASP!) school in Worcester.
Yee-ha. I’m sorting through work email, and the IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT was made that there will be reserved parking spaces for electric and no-emission vehicles at the admin building. I’m so fucking thankful that this is the TOP PRIORITY, I could just shart..
Hey, where has Krow been?
I had that thought the other day and sent him an email, but haven’t heard back yet.
Agile, I’m the youngest of 5. Mom and Dad dropped me off and went on their second honeymoon. Mom cried for 200 miles until Dad threatened that she could just as well cry at home.
I don’t recall my mom crying at all. I’m guessing that she saved that for after I left. I’m kinda glad she did.
My parents didn’t cry when I went in the Navy.
In fact my dad was kinda pissed. He wanted me to join the fucking air force.
My parents didn’t cry when I went in the Navy.
Yeah, mine neither.
I said, “Dad, if God had wanted me to fly He would have given me wings. I’m not going in the goddamn air force.”
My parents didn’t cry when I went in the Navy.
Mine did. They thought you’d ruin it.
>> We get that wonderful experience next Thursday.
Same advice applies. Your kid may not want the one on one time with mom, but I can almost guarantee you mom will want it. And fixing up the place gives em something to do.
Getting really sick of the Obama ads on youtube.
Leon – “Adblocker”. Look it up.
Oh heck yeah on AdBlocker. I have the Plus version but I don’t know how it’s different. I don’t even see crap on Facedouche.
Adblock for firefox kicks butt.
Wait, wasn’t Mike Murphy involved with the McCain campaign? That alone should disqualify him from ever being listened to again.
Can we put Mike Murphy in AdBlocker?
How long does it take a slab of meat to get to 150 degrees?
That’s when I get to punch out.
At 225 degrees, it’s about an hour and and 15 minutes per pound
Yes, Mike Murphy brought us such conservative success stories as:
John McCain, Rick Lazio, Jeb Bush, John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Spencer Abraham, Christie Whitman, Lamar Alexander, and Arnold Schwarzenegger
not to mention Mitt Romney of Romneycare. It’s guys like this that make sure instead of selling liberty and freedom to the voter, we play safe and lose slowly.

“But, I like ugly babies too!”

That’s quite a list of douches Murphy has advised. Coincidence? I think not.
Any of you hear Levin mention this recently? It’s for real, from the gubmint’s own website.

The Social Security Administration asking for 174,000 rounds of hollowpoint. The real deal. Page 4 of SSA-RFQ-12-1851.
I’m sure it’s just another routine office supply.
The Social Security Administration asking for 174,000 rounds of hollowpoint. The real deal. Page 4 of SSA-RFQ-12-1851.
The more they buy, the less there are left for the rest of us.
George, a couple of different agencies have bought significant rounds. OHS too, which makes more sense but still…. If you read about it, they have also purchased bulletproof booths for barricades.
Getting close to the end of the fiscal year, they start spending money like Bob Beckel in a donut shop.
Yeah, ammo for DHS or even the enforcement arm of Dept. of Interior (park rangers?) makes sense, but the SSA?
I guess them seniors strike fear into the heart of bureaucracy.
Funny how the press might react if an administration headed by a Republican oversaw federal bureaucracies buying bulletproof booths.
Is this for real? At AOS:
On Fox Now: They just played a local reporter’s question. It was “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” Obama said, “Well this is kind of a weird one, but I’d like to be able to speak any language.”
The boxers just jumped over a shark wearing briefs.
“Expendables 2″ is a FUN romp of a movie – very little plot and LOTS of shooting with big-ass weapons. The testosterone just drips off the screen.
It ain’t gonna win any Oscars, but it’s entertaining….
Not bad for a blonde…..jeez whats a bitch gotta do ’round here to get some respect?

Last month, after “a nearly two-year examination,” the Boy Scouts of America decided to stand by its membership policy that excludes openly gay Scouts and adult leaders. [...]
Boy Scouts is an organization that was and is so close to being great. Remember when they had to put Old Yeller down because he got rabies? It’s not like he was a bad dog, but he got a brain infection and he tried to eat Travis. [...]
But the real value in speaking against (the Boy Scouts) is that it’s dangerous. When a group as massive (2.7 million youth members) and respected as the Boy Scouts makes a move like this, it stands to exacerbate a public health hazard in such a way that we can’t just agree to disagree.
Dehumanize the enemy. Boy Scouts are rabid dogs that need extermination.

comment at Ace’s re: this dumbass answer:
I don’t think a superpower is anything that could be attained through hard work. Like starting a business, not a superpower.

I think that JEF gave a pageant answer.
Actually, he gave two answers. He was asked the same question by two different hardcore journalists and gave two different answers.
1) The ability to speak all languages. (something that can be accomplished if one were to apply oneself and actually be able to learn. not a superpower)
2) the ability to fly. (See: AF1)

Curious what you paid per pound.
SIL lives in Riyadh and says you can buy monkeys in pet stores easily. So if you want your face ripped off by an expensive pet, you’re in like Flint.
or Flynn
Mr. Orwell – The phrase is actually, “In like Flynn.” It referenced Errol Flynn and his “success” with attractive women. To be, “In like Flynn” originally meant you were going to get lucky with a pretty woman.
Unfortunately, the only whole brisket I could find was graded ‘select’.
From what I have read you need ‘choice’ or better.
I am up for the challenge.
Briskets need to be ordered around here.

Nowadays it’s SWAG and YOLO.
Growing up on Taiwan, I had friends with monkeys. Bastards liked ice cream. Stupid monkeys would steal my ice cream. It was cool to watch their siamese cats fuck with the monkey though. Other friend with a monkey, also had a burmese python that would fuck with the monkey. I like monkeys. 20NT.

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/in-spades.html
We have been ‘calling a spade a spade’ for many centuries, but the expression ‘in spades’ is a 20th century US coinage. The term was often used before that in relation to card games, where Bridge contracts might be entered into in the minor suits of Clubs or Diamonds or, for the higher scores, ‘in Hearts’ or, best of all, ‘in Spades’.
RACE CARD.

Had a birfday a little while ago and so we bought some ‘spensive dry aged ribeye, $26 per pound. I nearly overdid it on a gas grill. Just barely medium, and I wanted medium rare to rare. I still don’t have an instant read thermo and I want to try this again, so any of you have advice on how to judge doneness?
Mr. Orwell – With your thumb.
Yeah, my problem is to know how springy or not it should be. Kind of hard to calibrate without experience.
It comes down to experience or a decent thermometer.

The line between gardening and copulation is very fine.

My family likes to dig pits and cook underground. Our condo bylaws don’t allow for this. I am hoping Dan goes for a smoker…
Yes, experience. Something I also lack on a grill. At least, this time I know with the grill in question and with a similar piece of flesh, it should take less time than I gave it before.
Eric–Touch your fingertips to the tip of your thumb (like making an OK sign) and feel the flesh at the base of your thumb. Index is rare, middle is medium rare, ring is medium to medium-well, and pinky is well done.
George, two methods:
Push on the ball of your thumb:
Touch your pinkie to your thumb – well.
Ring finger to thumb – medium well
Longman to thumb – medium
Pointer to thumb – medium rare
Don’t touch thumb – rare
Second method:
Touch your cheek – rare
Touch your chin – medium rare
Touch your forehead – medium
Touch your nose – well
Oso, about 25 years ago I was at a party in Wyoming. We cooked about 7 different animals in the ground and it was awesome.
Hey, you know, that sort of works! The base of the thumb becomes more tense and rigid depending on which finger you use! I’ll definitely try that, while watching the time carefully.
Touch your cheek – rare
Touch your chin – medium rare
Touch your forehead – medium
Touch your nose – well
Touch your forehead -
Thank God you didn’t go below the waist with these suggestions.
“Testing” your “meat” for “tension.”
Oh Lord, what have I started…
Scott, my family likes to cook underground. Dan is still considered a gabacho. He will never be allowed to stand around and drink beer while cooking animals underground. My dad was in the family for 43 years and he was never allowed to be part of cooking animals underground.
That is total crap George.
Cool facts about Dick Cheney: About 25 months ago, Cheney was at a party in Wyoming. He shot about seven different people into the ground and it was awesome.

Heh. Minivan. Still cracks me up.

It’s been almost 30 years since I was aboard her.

Sohos, pick me up some Wranglers at Cavenders and a couple of golf shirts at UnderArmour please. Size Rosetta. Thanks in advance.
I saw her in Boston Harbor in the 80′s X.
I was far less interested in history or sailing ships then.
I might try and get down there.
PG – Rosetta has huge moobs. Just saying.
I went aboard in 1984 as part of an NJROTC leadership seminar. Also visited the USS Massachusetts that summer.
Got it PG!
I was in Boston and Concord from 88 to 91.
I liked Boston better than Concord (NH not Mass)
Here’s my post about my visit to the Constitution in 2006, when a Medal of Honor was aboard.

The visit to the Constitution also included a view of a naval officer with ginormous hooters.

Might be able to get the gal’s truck squared away by 1. How long will you be there Sohos?
SoHoS – I’ll need some boot-cut jeans: 38W X 34L
The cool thing about the Constitution is that it is the oldest active duty member of a fighting naval force in the world. That’s why she does “turnarounds” to prove she is still mobile and can stay on active duty. She’s not just a museum. She has cannons that work. Occasionally they fire them and it sets off car alarms in the parking lots nearby.
I took a trip to Boston in 1973 specifically to go aboard and photograph her because I was building a scale model of her at that time.
Unfortunately the model succumbed to numerous moves and two divorces.
36 here.
Another reason for the turnarounds is to even out the effects of weathering. Not as glamorous, but essential nonetheless.
I really enjoyed talking to the crew – lucky bastiges.
And BTW, if you are a sailor in the U.S. Navy, getting assigned the Constitution is a huge honor.
Not sure Dave. From there we are going to San Antonio. We have to be at our friends’ house tomorrow morning at 7am
36 here.
You’ve had 36 divorces?
Probably won’t work out tomorrow then hon, but shop, shop like the wind!
Oh, and some Dan Post boots 11W
Agree with Dave. The San Marcos factory outlet mall is good.
Just don’t go there around Christmas.

Maybe you could go to the Pendleton store and get me a couple of wool shirts for the cold month of January.

Just in case you were not convinced 95% of the media is licking Obama’s boots… Just saw an interstitial ad for the local news on an major local station here in southern Clownifornia. One of those ads that admonishes you to watch TV Station X’s official news coverage of the campaign this fall. It was largely nothing but typographic, flashing cuts of phrases like “best coverage” and “campaign news like no other” and a mess of suchlike.
The colors were, predictably, red, white and blue. So far, so good. But the typography? It was all unified. Same face, same weight. And which typeface? It is called “Gotham.”
It is the same typeface Obama’s campaign uses and has used since before the motherfucker was elected four years ago.

I think all they have to do is have inventory control be a separate system from recording sales, Michael. Every basic cash register I’ve ever seen has a ‘nontaxable’ button on it. In these modern systems with bar code scanners ‘no tax’ is probably there right out of the box as just another setting the employee can use.

It’s probably been about 35 years since I last worked a cash register.
>>“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
If that is right, then nobody should EVER remodel their house, buy a different brand of car, go to a different vacation spot, meet new people…..
Pupster, out of curiosity, did you watch that one to the end? Is it a log or croc?
We should have permanent bases in Iraq and never touched Afghanistan with ground troops. Afghanistan is a hell hole with impossible topography and nutty people.
“If that is right, then nobody should EVER remodel their house, buy a different brand of car, go to a different vacation spot, meet new people…..”
Correct. Remodeling is for suckers.
Just keep buying Ford Explorers and go to Disney World.
>> Think about it. They have to figure out how to make their point-of-sale systems NOT record the tax, and they have to get the timing right.
Since sales tax rate changes are usually linked to dates, most POS (no, point-of-sale) software implements the rate as a schedule of applicable rates for a particular period of time.
In this case, they don’t reprogram the system to not record the tax, they just set the rate to 0%.
And don’t meet any new people.
Except Mare. If you manage that, you get a Nobel Prize.
>> In these modern systems with bar code scanners ‘no tax’ is probably there right out of the box as just another setting the employee can use.
There is a key/button you can use, it’s not a big deal. But most retailers have just adjusted their electronic pricebooks through software so it’s not a huge pain anymore. Keep in mind it’s certain items under a certain amount ($100 for clothes, for example).
HI GOOD MORNING WHASSUP!??!
Good morning, good people.
I don’t think I care for your defeatist attitude, Missy.
Yea, well, the morning drop-off were fine (I’ve done TWO kid runs now).
7 am – Ian to Lapeer days to make chicken for football team
815 – Matt to soccer field for game one of tournament.
Yea – that was all easy.
the rest of the day?
Matt’s done at 10:15 OR SO I have to be at the same field at 11 to sell concessions until 12:30.
Ian’s done at 11-ish a mile+ away from soccer fields. He wants to take the car down to Lake Orion to cash his check.
I’m done at 1230, but Matt’s got to be back AT THIS SAME LOCATION at 1:15 for a 2 pm game.
It’s a clusterfuck, really. Honestly, I’d ride my bike to do concessions, but that doesn’t really help, because Matt can’t drive himself anyway. And Ian has to walk to get the car … and then ????
Mare, I could really use your help today.
I’m on it Carin!!
Pupster, out of curiosity, did you watch that one to the end? Is it a log or croc?

Wait, should I have lunch, snacks or a change of clothes/ uniform in the car for them?

So far nothing.
>> Keep in mind it’s certain items under a certain amount ($100 for clothes, for example).
Right. And the POS systems are already set up to charge a different rate for each SKU.
TX should do this like MA, where tax-free weekend is muthafuckin’ tax-free weekend, baby. There was a story on the news last Sunday about the state’s gun purchasing system being overloaded by it.
Honestly, though, when I was a kid it seems I could get rides from place to place, and I also rode my bike around a LOT.
I had to cancel things for my youngest ones, because I just couldn’t make it. There were supposed to walk in a parade for their soccer team. Oye. I refuse to drop my 10 year old off alone to do that, because I don’t know the team manager at ALL. Nope. Not gonna do that. Erin would be fine (I know everyone there) but if Ethan can’t go, it’s not fair. Plus – I’m going to be working concessions around that time.
We don’t do tax-free weekends here.
Most of the softwares I worked on were POS, regardless of industry.
I can help out today. Who needs a ride? I can’t only fit one other person in my car, but I think that should help.
*looks at watch
If I leave now, I can be there by Monday.
Or ‘can’. Whatever.
When I tried out for the baseball team in high school and expected a ride I was told in no uncertain terms that rides were my responsibility. Of course I would be driven when possible, but I was responsible for finding a ride when conflicts arose.
I didn’t read the fine print.
You could have asked me. I know how to do that.
Thanks for NOTHING MJ.
Hey, it’s 50 degrees here today. As soon as I’m done running around, I’m going for a nice, comfortable run! woot.
You’re jealous, aren’t you?
I ran with Erin yesterday (my 12 y/o) – she’s a great natural runner. I’ve run with her before, but I think I’m going to start forcing her at least two or three times a week. It’s kinda fun running with her. She’s not up to my longer runs, but at under 5 miles distance she makes me run faster.
We don’t do tax-free weekends here.
That’s because our sales tax is relatively cheap at 6%. Only one cheaper is IN at 5%. I prefer a steady, low tax over having to plan purchases around when the government decides that retail needs to get hammered for a weekend.
You’re welcome.
Sounds like a pretty nice day. It’s raining like a cow pissing on a flat Obama, so I’m going to the gym. Booo!
Yes, I’m jealous. In a few months though, I’ll be shoveling sunshine while you, well, you know.

Heh MJ is right. I am starting my winter tomato plants today.
In comparison Texas has a moderately high sales tax rate, 8.25% – which is mostly a state rate with a small local rate in it (I think 1.25%).
But no income tax.
Our income tax is modest, but there’s a reason our retirees move to Florida, and it’s not just the weather.

I may have to kill him.
Moving from Chicago to Tampa gave me a 10% instaraise. Plus the nominal charge of $100 per month for parking legally, but still getting tickets went away.
Plus an $8 bottle of beer was reduced to $3.
Dangit, why didn’t GD have Tampa openings when the wife’s AFR wing moved to MacDill (edited, my wife misremembered when asked)?
Beasn!
Look at this Fookin’ cake!

Saw it. Brrrr..
That was a cake?
That was an invasive species.
I still say we need to get someone famous on board with python-leather fashion and couture. It’s the only way to save Florida.
HA – I’ve got a game we can plan. YOu know how the DNC is looking for people to feature at the convention that “tell their story”. The soldier who was saved by teh GAY medic? crap like that?
Come up with your own “person of interest” they need to find.
I’ll go first.
Try to find a guy, who was saved from becoming a baby-daddy after a night of anonymous sex because the woman (he didn’t catch her name) had gotten inexpensive contraception from PP.
I’m not sure I understand the formula.

Please. The only “other person” MJ can fit in his car is a Barbie doll.
Scott, your meat needs wired internet connection? No WiFi?

Even John Stewert was mocking it.
I’m just not sure where you wanted to go with examples. Are we supposed to find people who were aided in sucking at life by leftist policy?
I mean, there are cities full of those people.
Ryan is hitting a home run at The Villages.
Oh, I just had that funny thought that I mentioned. Of having a dude thanking big government for being able to have uncommitted sex with hoes.
People who REALLY benefit from the Obama plan.
We could just play the question game.
OMG he’s clubbing old people with a baseball bat?
I’m surprised Ryan agreed to speak at The Villages.
I don’t think there’s even a single cliff there he can push Granny off of.
You didn’t kill those seniors.
Dammit. Leon got there first and funnier.
I just applied the MSNBC filter software to scott’s comment.
Where’s that whore Mare?

Oh crap, the monkeys are starting to domesticate whitetails. This is how Planet of the Apes starts, people.
There are plenty of lakes he can push them into X.
Paul Ryan hates Dave in Texas?
Then again, who doesn’t?
>> Then again, who doesn’t?
All the chicks don’t, that’s who. BAM!
Chicks dig Dave.
Chicks dig a shallow grave for Dave.
Are you sure it’s a log?
This thing is cooking too fast!
I think I got a bad thermometer.
I had a bad thermometer one year cooking turkey. I shook my fist at Mare.
I did cheat the stall though, that could have saved me 4-5 hours.
>> Chicks dig Dave.
To my credit, I try not to let it make me a fathead, but I do use it from time to time to irritate the shit outta the guys.
*shrugs*
I found out last night that my youngest is pretty serious about learning to play the bass guitar. Any advice? Buy or rent during lessons?
Belay any further comments!!
