And Ten Steps Away…

  1. This beach was the best one I’ve ever been on.

  2. I double-checked the authorship of this poat. BiW, did you run out of words?

  3. Also, nice pics. I look forward to seeing more posted on FB.

  4. Looks like better than 25 quakes near Brawley, CA in the last couple hours. From 2.5 to 5.3.

  5. Roseanne Barr must be doing jumping jacks.

  6. Bet there’s lots of beaver there.

    Or beavers. Whatever.

  7. Tiger is not playing as well as I did last week!

  8. A dozen more since I posted that. I knew I should have bought beach property in NM.

  9. Tushar, save your money and just get a charcoal grill.

    Great things to have that you will use for years:

    *A big, cheapish, kettle-style grill with a deep lid
    *a chimney starter for charcoal (no lighter fluid!)
    * a set of long-handled grill tools, and a little coal shovel or similar tool (you will need to move coals around)

    Even cheap charcoal grills are not so cheap anymore. I don’t know what’s going on.

    The main thing is that the lid fits tightly and the air controls on top and bottom can be closed tightly as well. That saves you money in the long run because after cooking you can squash the air and the coals will go out. Then next time you use the grill you only have to add a little new charcoal.

  10. Someone tell Oso that her taxes are about to go up.

  11. Laura, cool. Charcoal it is, then.

  12. Currently attending a “sustainable” garden party on an expensive piece of property on the shore, north of Boston. Dozens of Obama signs on our way in. Surrounded by libs. Almost expect Lie-awatha to show up.

    They have a little photo booth set up, with chalkboards, so you can write a message, take a picture with your message, and they “might” post it on their Facebook page.

    I’m thinking of writing “legitimately rape the Earth. Vote Romney 2012!”

    Wonder if that will make their page?

  13. Wiser – Why would you subject yourself to that kind of nonsense?

  14. Hahahaha.

    Wiserbud’s in Hell, MA. Population: One billionty.

  15. Currently attending a “sustainable” garden party

    Funny how gobs of old Brahmin money helps make things ‘sustainable.’

  16. **tries to beat MCPO to the punch**

  17. I left the same advice Tushar on the old thread. If you have the room consider a combo grill / smoker.

    Webers are very well made and will last a long time even if you don’t take care of it. It’s probably the best selling grill of all time so rednecks have figured out how to do just about everything on them.

  18. I am one of those real Brahmins, unlike those fakey-fake Boston Brahmins. I cringe everytime the word Brahmins is used to describe those pretentious, sanctimonious douchebags.

  19. Wiserbud – you should stop by Cambridge on your way back.

  20. Charcoal it is, then.

    I feel so powerful.

    Everybody ends up getting a gas grill later on because it’s more convenient but things never taste the same as those first glorious Summer foods cooked on the charcoal. Now we have both. And of course, the DIY smoker hack that Scott came up with.

  21. Scott, I saw that. I have some experience with those round Webers. Not as easy as gas, but manageable.

  22. Ah, sorry Tushar, I didn’t know.

  23. They have figured out how to use it as a smoker too.
    Rednecks are awesome.

  24. Currently attending a “sustainable” garden party

    They’re serving Jim Jones Kool-Aid and they have spots picked out for guests to fertilize?

  25. >>>Wiser – Why would you subject yourself to that kind of nonsense?

    Family.

    >>>Wiserbud’s in Hell, MA. Population: One billionty.

    Food is awesome, but, for some reason, I feel guilty using a paper napkin….

  26. Wiserbride just offered that, if one of you picks me up, she’ll come get me on her way home.

    Maybe

  27. for some reason, I feel guilty using a paper napkin

    When you go inside to shit, just rub your arse on the rug. Sustainable!

  28. I have never seen so many peasant dresses and pretentious-douche “beards” in one place….

  29. Wiser, text “PALOMINO” if you need me to come rescue you.

  30. Soul patch? Chin beards? Carefully-managed faux-’casual’ scruff?

    I love it when people refer to each other by some pretentious characteristic. Back on Allahpundit’s first, hilarious old blog, he referred to a guy as ‘yo, Soulpatch’ or something like that, and just the idea of it still makes me lose it.

  31. Heh.
    http://pic.twitter.com/oK3ievER

  32. Awesome

  33. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    Just took a picture of a gas-powered tractor that is being used tu run the machine that is making the fresh, sustainable ice cream.

    OMG, too priceless….

  34. I forgot about Hibachis, those are awesome if you have to go with something small.

  35. >>>Soul patch? Chin beards? Carefully-managed faux-’casual’ scruff?

    All of the above.

    Now the reggae-band-with-one-black-guy is warming up….

  36. Everyone has an extremely expensive camera, with a bagful of lenses, so they can be sure to capture every special moment of their superiority

  37. Ha ha, Laura. I am not offended or anything. I just took the opportunity to take a dig at those blue blooded Boston douchenozzles.

    Scott, I have been eyeing some Hibachi grills too. Could be adequate for me for now.

  38. Reggae band also has requisite Jewish guy with dreadlocks…

  39. I seriously should be live-streaming this…

  40. Super healthy vegans looking like a stiff wind would kill them…

    Sustainable plates being thrown on the ground….

  41. FREEBIRD!

  42. Wait a minute, wait a minute, that piece of crap, fake tanned, still in the closet because he can’t tell mommy and women are messy, It’s all about me, noodle dick (and neck) Crist endorsed Obama?

    He can’t possibly wonder why we all hate him can he?

  43. Scott, there are reasonably sized charcoal grill plus smokers too, unless that enormous one you linked. That thing could grill a hippo.
    This one, at $150, could grill smaller things:

  44. Keep it coming Wiser. Nothing is better than ripping liberal assholes on their own territory.

  45. HAHAHAHA!!!!

    Pretensious soul-patch douche wearing t- shirt with Puma logo….

    SUSTAINABLE!!!

  46. $50 for a cast iron hibachi? Wow. Screw that. Little Webers are less than that and will do more.

  47. XBrad is fine. I was fairly sure I felt an earfquake, but had to go check the chandelier to be sure. Sure enough, it was still swaying slightly.

  48. He he he….

    Port-o-San is made entirely of plastic and full of chemicals!

    SUSTAINABLE!

  49. I don’t think there’s any danger of Wiser being converted or assimilated.

    You have to send us that picture of the ice cream tractor! Too, too, funny.

    Environmental Ice Cream

    2 quarts empathetically-harvested and organically-loved light cream
    2 tsp. Fair Trade vanilla extract collected by indigenous Madagascar peoples
    1 cup responsibly-processed natural cane sugar from Cuba
    3 large cage-free, free-range eggs
    20 gallons of diesel fuel and a tractor from 1955 that goes through a gallon a minute. Keep another full tank nearby.

  50. BIG thunder boomers here!

  51. Liberal + hypocrite = cold fusion

  52. If this is a repeat here, my apologies. It kicks ass.

  53. Earth-mother pregnant white chick in peasent dress and sporting dreads is lead singer.

    Wonder how many guys in the band are the father?

  54. When they say Isaac could rival Katrina, is that the same as saying my body COULD rival Christy Brinkley’s?

  55. That looks pretty versatile, thermometer is a big plus.

  56. Glad you are okay, XBrad. Brawley, CA is still gettin’ jiggled.

  57. When you go inside to shit, just rub your arse on the rug. Sustainable!

    Better yet, grab a particularly pretentious douche-nozzle and use their hand/arm to wipe with.

    Tell ‘em you’re “sustaining” the earth by not using any water yourself.

    Remind them that if they use water to wash it off, they are raping Gaia…..

  58. my body could rival Christy Brinkley’s…in…percentage of water content, maybe. Average skin thickness, perhaps.

    Number of toes. Definitely. Actually, I may even have her beat, there.

  59. Scott, you can add a rotisserie or a firebox to that as well.

  60. Looks like better than 25 quakes near Brawley, CA in the last couple hours. From 2.5 to 5.3

    Has Governor Granholm tweeted about how God hates Californians yet?

  61. Wiser, whatever you do, don’t use logical arguments or facts with that crowd. They will melt like the wicked witch of the west. You don’t want to spoil the party like that.

  62. Exactly Laura. Mine COULD rival her’s (If I lost 30 more pounds, had a body lift, liposuction, chemical peels, thermage, and cool sculpting) but…..no, not even close. I’m wondering, do they really think Isaac will be as powerful as Katrina or are they building this up for ratings and panic factor.

  63. Scrawny, extremely unattractive Earth-mothers, who would NEVER serve their precious offspring processed food, dancing right in front of extremely loud speakers with precious infant offspring in their arms….

  64. If global warming, West Nile, and pig flu don’t kill you by Wednesday, Isaac will.

  65. They are saying cat 2 Mare. I will not move for a cat 1 or 2 storm. However the gulf is like a sauna it could blow up to a monster storm. It is still only a TS in spite all of the hype.Who is afraid of a TS?

  66. I love the coverage of the surfers that go out in advance of a hurricane. Some of them may be young idiots, some of them may be experienced observers of the ocean and know when to bug out. Who knows.

    But in either case, the newsfaces go outside to cover it. So there’s these reporters standing outside in the calm before a hurricane, clucking their tongues at these surfers on the big waves. Saying things like, “These guys better get out of the water…I don’t know what they’re thinking…that’s crazy.”

    Hours later, the surfers are gone home, but the reporters are still outside there in a slicker, standing with difficulty in the hurricane gale, while torn off stop signs, gutters, and pieces of palm trees whip by them.

  67. Sitting w/ a woman who does Non-profit management, who is maried to a guy who works for a massive investment house.

    Grrrrrrrrrrr………..

  68. DAVE. Nice post at MoronClub. That video made me very nostalgic. That was a M-A-N.

  69. The best thing about the people here?

    They are all so impressed with themselves…

    Everything about them is simply precious and perfect.

    And they simply know EVERYONE who is ANYONE!!

    Really. They do. Just ask them.

  70. Do they know Spurwing Plover? No?

    What good are they?

  71. Hi guys!

  72. >>>Do they know Spurwing Plover? No?
    What good are they?

    I guarantee you that at least 4/5ths of the people her are related to Spurwing.

    Honest! Just ask them!

  73. Well, in liberal minds one spouse working for a non-profit while another one works for a filthy, rotten profit-driven corporation cancels everything out – they call it even.

    Did you go up to any of the earth mothers and tell them how attractive the clump of cells that they were punished with is?

    *oh please, oh please, oh please…..*

  74. I guarantee you that at least 4/5ths of the people her are related to Spurwing.

    Honest! Just ask them!

    Reason #47 I no longer attend my college prof buddies’ soirees.

  75. >>>Did you go up to any of the earth mothers and tell them how attractive the clump of cells that they were punished with is?

    “punished?”. With these perfect angels?

    Don’t you know? Their children are the result of the breeding of their superior genes. Only those “others” should be aborted…

  76. I just got back from checking out geoff’s blog. Have you guys seen this bullshit over there? Look.

    http://geoff82.wordpress.com/about/

    Disclaimers like that…I mean. Look at it. It’s just begging to be messed with.

    *cracks knuckles*

  77. And they fully support the right… nay… the absolute NEED to abort those “lesser” types…

    For their own benefit, doncha know…

  78. This is why I can’t have nice blogs.

  79. Only minorities here are the black bass player and the Hispanic drummer.

    Meanwhile, they all think the reggae is simply precious…

  80. Seriouzly, not even a single minority on the catering staff…

    Well, none that they allow the guests to see

  81. Don’t you guys have Whisps in NE?

  82. Any scorpios here? https://twitter.com/FREE_FORTUNES/status/238337678117064705

  83. Oh look! There’s the douche with the pretentious “beard” who brought his minority girlfriend!

    Asian, of course. That’s the acceptable level of minority. One would simply NEVER date any other minority…. And still expect to be invited to spurred such as this…

  84. >> Any scorpios here?

    Well, shit. Nice knowing y’all.

  85. (Well, none that they allow the guests to see)

    That’s what the 2nd kitchen is for.

  86. Scorpions! WHERE?!

  87. Aaaaaaaaaaaand here comes the begging……..

  88. You people be sure to watch that video I posted at the HQ. It’s awesome.

  89. Exclusive hidden camera footage of Wiser’s party

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G880gxjj9dI

  90. Just took a picture of the three gas-powered generators that are running non- stop to generate electricity to cook food and power the sound system, from which we are currently being preached at.

  91. Correction: 4 gas-powered generators, at last count.

    All carefully hidden, so as not to insult the sensitivities of the self-righteous Earth-protecters…

  92. Which noble cause is your black heart ignoring?

  93. Preference cascade? http://is.gd/GYbBrx

  94. Andy, RFH linked it here at 4:55.

    It’s old.

  95. >>Asian, of course. That’s the acceptable level of minority

    And by Asian, they mean them yeller faced, squinty eyed people. Other Asians, like Ayrabs or Indians are just too icky.

  96. Where is wiser? I’m at a soccer field ony phone. Don’t make me scroll.

  97. Oh, damn. I didn’t even see it here, I got it off the Twitters.

  98. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2033698/The-millions-Americans-living-long-stay-motels.html

    ‘I’m sure it is the economy. A lot of people can’t afford their homes no more,’ Detective Sergeant James Lyell of the Dickson Police Department told local station News Channel 5.

  99. Dumb article – all anecdotes, no stats to support that it’s widespread or the result of the economy. Just some agrammatical guy saying he thinks it is.

  100. I remember when Disneyland was doing the California Adventure expansion and they were sued by people that were displaced when DL bought the hotels they lived in. I’m calling shenanigans.

  101. Dumb article

    Not to say that it’s probably not true, it’s just that the article did a terrible job of making the case.

  102. Everyone has an extremely expensive camera, with a bagful of lenses, so they can be sure to capture every special moment of their superiority

    And for most ofthem, they are just expensive toys. Unless you’re really, really good and publishing your photos, most people will do just fine with a little 12-14 megapixel Lumix with a zoom feature.

    Props to Nikon for making themselves the must-have “I wanna look like a serious photographer” accessory provider.

  103. Oh SURE, play the ‘logic and reason’ card again…

  104. Best grilled salmon ever.

  105. “Sitting w/ a woman who does Non-profit management, who is maried to a guy who works for a massive investment house.”

    CLASSIC.

  106. It is true. Hotels are hurting and turning to section 8 to survive.

    I stayed at a really crappy Holiday Inn somewhere down south that was half full of permanent residents.

  107. Pay attention to the crappy little motels off the beaten path in the middle of nowhere. Those are often full.

  108. Oh SURE, play the ‘logic and reason’ card again…

    It’s not like I’ve got a lot of cards. If life was Gin Rummy, you’d be my bitches.

  109. Ok, leaving party now…..

    Searching parking lot……

    There is not one single Prius in the parking lot.

    Couple of Range Rovers, couple of Porsches..

    Not one single Volt to be found.

    Hmmmmmmm…..

  110. BIW, where did the pics up top taken?
    It looks like a nice place but I don’t think I would like winter.

  111. I stayed at a really crappy Holiday Inn somewhere down south that was half full of permanent residents.

    “Somewhere down South?”

    Awfully vague. And are you sure it wasn’t permanently full of half residents?

  112. How much was a night at the Holiday Inn where you stayed Scott? Most cannot afford to stay in a Hotel for more than a week. If it’s got a pool it’s called a vacation.

  113. >>>And by Asian, they mean them yeller faced, squinty eyed people. Other Asians, like Ayrabs or Indians are just too icky.

    Zakly. Not one dot to be found.

  114. Okay, on highway now.

    Will count Obama/Sitting Bullshitter bumper stickers

  115. As usual, to late to be of any use, but I wished I’d been on here to advise wiser to jerk the spark plug wires out of those generators and throw them into the underbrush about an hour ago. Save some of that precious dinosaur blood for future generations.

  116. Mare, if the place is mostly empty every night they will dedicate a floor or a section and rent out a bunch of rooms at section 8 rates.

    $800 a month (or whatever it is now) is better than nothing.

    The Marriott in my town residents,

  117. Mare, out here we have extended stay Route 66 relics that are cheaper than apartments. I helped a Mexican National on SSI set up a credit account yesterday and thought of Beasn.

  118. **reconsiders plan to retire in New England**

  119. Try to hang in there, wiser. I managed to live in Berkeley for seven years without killing anybody.

  120. The Holiday Inns in Midland and Odessa are going for $250+ per night. Of course, the economy is kinda going against national trends out here at present.

  121. Oops. Guess I was a little late with my moral support.

  122. Pendejo, when we almost went to M/O just to get away, Dan couldn’t believe how expensive it was. He doesn’t like my Midland family so he wouldn’t just stay with family.

  123. Yes, I was thinking more along the lines of PD’s Holiday Inn’s. And really, I was thinking more along the lines of Motel 6′s/No chain motels and what not.

  124. Yep Oso, extended stay is the code word.

    Candlewood Suites Extended Stay, sounds nice, but it could also be called The Projects.

  125. My last comment made no sense. But I think you got what I meant…because you are all psychic. Or is that psychotic?

  126. Best grilled salmon ever.

    Couldn’t be. I’m making steak and sweet corn tonight.

    Scott, I took those in McCall, Idaho.

    My wife decided she wouldn’t like the winters either. 300 inches of snow average in the winter. I asked her if we could move. She said “NO.”

  127. My last comment made no sense. But I think you got what I meant…because you are all psychic. Or is that psychotic?

    Psycadelic.

  128. Those are lovely pictures, BIW. Looks like a great vacation spot. Did you stay in a hotel? Cabin?

  129. Very few beautiful places have pleasant winters.

    It’s not fair.

  130. Mare, our timeshare has some very nice condos there. Yeah, it blew our annual point allowance for a 2 bedroom Mon-Friday, but she has a friend with more points than he can use, and he gave us enough to get another 2 bedroom for Monday-Thursday, so her folks had their own place for 4 of the 5 days.

  131. Scott, we were told it is a ski destination that is growing in popularity.

    Next year, I’m going to the natural hotsprings, even if no one else will go with me.

  132. >>>Very few beautiful places have pleasant winters.

    St. Kitts

    And so far, not one bumpersticker.

    No joke. Not a single one. Maybe ’cause the cars are too expensive here.

  133. Oh…beautiful places/pleasant winters. Never mind.

  134. 25% still don’t know who they are voting for.

    Obama’s base.

  135. There was one car that had a shitload of bumperstickers on it at the party, (shocking, I know, but so far (we just got on I-90) not a single car has had a bumpersticker on it

  136. I actually get more angry with my “Independent” friends than I do flat out D-rats.

  137. We have pleasant winters. It is the summers you have to watch out for.

  138. Vanity Farm.

  139. A pleasant winter is one that I spend in Florida.

  140. Who is the man, Wiser?

    http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp94rnFP461qdezf9o1_400.gif

  141. Roamy, I saw that. Sent it to my “Independent” friends. Grrrr….

  142. Wiserbud, there is a good gas station off of 84 in Mass at exit 1.

    If you stop there let me know. There is a better way of getting back on the highway, a 2 mile straight stretch of drag strip.

    If Wiserbride needs to know how fast something goes, this is the place.

  143. >>>Narcissist-in-chief.
    http://www.soopermexican.com/2012/08/26/obama-remembers-neil-armstrong-with-a-big-picture-of-himself/

    There are no words….

  144. I couldn’t agree more!

    http://tinyurl.com/ckcm7s4

  145. >> a 2 mile straight stretch of drag strip

    You don’t say.

    Hmmmm …

  146. There are no words….

    Oh, I dunno. I could probably think of a few choice ones.

  147. Ignore my last comment. i meant to link a different video.

  148. It might be 3. There is only one side street off of it and it eventually becomes a one-way ramp to 84.

    The road appears to have no use for anyone but the truckers who use it to go around the weigh station.

  149. I’ve only driven my POS Beemer fast once. A 3 miles stretch of straight road on Whidbey Island.

    145, uphill, still accelerating. Had to let up to stop in time.

  150. >>>If you stop there let me know. There is a better way of getting back on the highway, a 2 mile straight stretch of drag strip.

    Dude… Who are you talking to? I used to work in Sturbridge. I have torn the SHIT out if that road more times than I can count.

  151. My brother lived in Louisiana near a 7 mile bridge. He would buy a new bike and the reports would come back.

    157!
    162 without mirrors!

  152. Took a hawt redhead to Sturbridge one fall weekend. . .

  153. I’m not so annoyed at Sir Golfsalot putting up a pic of himself (like he gives a shit about the space program), it was that he recycled one from four months ago. I went out and winked at the moon last night. Lit a candle, too.

  154. >>>Who is the man, Wiser?

    You. You are the man.

  155. Hawt redhead?

    Was she crazy?

  156. >>>162 without mirrors!

    SWEET!

    SORRY FOR YELLING BUT I HAVE RHE WINDOWS OPEN NOW,REMOVING THE MIRRORS….

  157. Obama probably went out last night and mooned Armstrong.

  158. Scott – Not to be redundant, but she was a hawt redhead.

    ‘Born in the USA’ (https://twitter.com/laurww/status/239084990573457409) and now this. I’m starting to think the 20-yr/o intern who writes Obama’s tweets is a double agent.

  160. Yep. Redheads were put on this planet to take care of cats.

  161. >> I went out and winked at the moon last night.

    Same here. And took that picture that’s on my Facechimp.

  162. California. . . heh.

  163. I’ve dated 2 redheads. Both were great in the sack and both were crazier than shithouse rats.

  164. If Barry had been POTUS during one of the Shuttle disasters, the tweet would doubtless have looked something like this:

  165. I’ve never dated a redhead in my life.

  166. “Both were great in the sack and both were crazier than shithouse rats”

    Tough call.

  167. I dated a redhead. Also the only non-engineer I ever dated. Worst mistake ever.

  168. >>>If Barry had been POTUS during one of the Shuttle disasters, the tweet would doubtless have looked something like this:

    Okay, that’s a meme waiting to happen.

    President Obama, circa 2001, tweets re: events of Sept. 11.

  187. Awesome on the ball, Sean! Closest I’ve gotten is when I had a foul go off my hand once, at a minor league game.

    Great idea for a party, too.

  192. Shawn, were you there when Gonzalez hit his home run

    Yup. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a crowd go quite so nuts over a homer before. It went right past us into the RF seats.

  193. Reince Priebus seems to have his act together. Michael Steele was trying to take credit for the 2010 House takeover, and I’m thinking it wasn’t because of Steele but despite him.

  194. Sean, great seats. Dodger gear?

    When in Rome, you don’t want to get tridented in the Colosseum chariot lot.

  195. Just hit massive traffic jam east of Hartford. Tell Wiaeebride to go into HOV lane.

    “but that’s illegal”

    Cool. So we’ll just sit here for the next couple of hours as cars fly past us…

  196. Okay, back later for derp. Try not to run each other through with rapiers while I’m gone.

  197. >>>Yup. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a crowd go quite so nuts over a homer before. It went right past us into the RF seats.

  198. What are your HOV rules? Do they apply on weekends?

    Get in the left lane and floor it.

  201. >>What are your HOV rules? Do they apply on weekends?

    Obviously not.

  202. We don’t have HOV lanes yet. The only time we get to use them, is when we’re traveling. We bitch when it takes 5 minutes to drive the 2 miles to work.

  203. Heh. Wiserbridetti.

  204. Sweet. Between iPhone, GPS and my being an obnoxious dick, we bypassed a 4-mile backup and are now on I-91 South.

  205. WTFITS????
    http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/political-potpourri/2012/aug/23/storm-headed-charlotte-thanks-jumah-dnc/

    I saw the FB posts about the DNC turning away Cardinal Dolan but welcoming 20,000 Muslims and thought it was too crazy to be true.

  206. We were laughing about no pork BBQ in Carolina. I guess that mustard based sauce isn’t all that after all.

  207. Mustard-based BBQ sauce is awesome, especially if my dad makes it.

  208. I am horrible when it comes to the Carolina/Texas/KC/Memphis fight about BBQ. I like it all.

  209. Damn it, Oso, now I really want Facecock connected to H2.

  210. So is it just some fringe group that says 20K people and will actually get 2 or 3K? This just makes me nervous, especially with leaders tied to Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

  211. So…. in spite of OWS, the DNC is 20,000 times more likely to have a suicide bomber than the RNC?

  212. WTF is Harris Faulkner talking about on FNC? The Skyway bridge to Brandon?

    Heh

  213. The Carolinas have had the fireworks guys that were affiliated with the FL prof and the “bad driver” who ran over pedestrians. I think they have quite a few CAIRboys in the area.

  214. Mare, I’m not that funny. I do post lots of dachshund pics though.

  215. I vaguely recall reading about 5 years ago about Muslims smuggling cigarettes in the NC area for fun and profit. And Hamas.

  216. http://youtu.be/hMc8naeeSS8

    Good night, my friends. (((squishy hugs)))

  217. Makes me miss my 2 wienies. I didn’t get custody of them

  218. Rain has been so heavy here from Isaac that it is still dry under my truck. Zeke and I walked 18 blocks in the hurricane rain and I did not have to wipe my glasses once.
    TS Isaac is a dud here so far.

    It seems to have picked up a little after mt 10 pm walk to a light rain from the sound of it on my fireplace flue.

  219. Poor Harris Faulkner. She was the beautiful, bug-eyed lady on the evening news when I lived in Kansas City. Now that she’s famous, I’ll probably never get to Mormon marry her. Her loss. :(

  220. Sohos, you’re allergic anyway. I’ll just keep posting pictures for you. (((Squishy hugs)))

  221. This is true ((((((hugs))))))

  222. Are you in KC Stark?
    Did I meet you at the STL meetup?

  223. catching up here

    {{{hugs}}} to car in, cyn and Tif.

    tough weekend

  224. “Mare, I’m not that funny. I do post lots of dachshund pics though.”

    But….dachshund’s are cute and funny.

  225. What a day.

    Wait, wait, what happened?

  226. I posted dachshund butts a few hours ago.

  227. Oh no….now I am going to have to go read

  228. >> Sweet. Between iPhone, GPS and my being an obnoxious dick

    What? WTF? And I still had to fork over a buck 37 to go that last almost quarter of a mile the Hyatt?

    bitch.

  229. Sohos, check your facechimp. Sorry, Mare.

  230. I am so sorry for Tifw, Carin, and Cyn. Love and prayers to you all

  231. I like dachshunds, and I like butts, but I’m only lukewarm on doxie butts.

  232. And I still had to fork over a buck 37 to go that last almost quarter of a mile the Hyatt

    That could have paid for freedom:

    Freedom isn’t free
    It costs folks like you and me
    And if we don’t all chip in
    We’ll never pay that bill
    Freedom isn’t free
    Now there’s a hefty in’ fee
    And if you don’t throw in your buck ‘o five
    Who will?

  233. What? WTF? And I still had to fork over a buck 37 to go that last almost quarter of a mile the Hyatt?

    hey, don’t blame me that your dumbass iPhone could’t find your fucking “oh, look at how cool I am! I’m staying at a Hyatt!!!” hotel.

    As soon as I left, I picked up the highway and was home in about 2 hours.

    No GPS required.

  234. I can name a 5th argument that they are ignoring here….

  236. Everyone tries to ignore that one.

  237. See, this is what pisses me off…I’m now wanting to know what cute pics are on everyones Dickfacedouche page.

    DAMN IT!!

  238. dropped wiserdaughter off at college on Thursday.

    wiserbride had her moments, but for the most part, was a rock. I, on the other hand, had to keep from speaking for a while.

    so happy for her, but damn, I miss having that little lunatic around the house.

    As we were driving away from the campus, I looked over at wiserbride and said “buck up, little soldier.”

    I expect the bruise to be gone in a week or so…

  239. Everyone tries to ignore that one.

    damn shame it’s been proven to be true, again and again and again….

  240. See, this is what pisses me off…I’m now wanting to know what cute pics are on everyones Dickfacedouche page.

    Well, then go for it, mare! get a Facedouche page!

    It only costs you your privacy. And your soul…..

  241. >> I, on the other hand, had to keep from speaking for a while.

    Yeah, I remember that feeling.

    I finally caught up on the stuff. Damn. My prayers for Cyn and her kid, for Car in and her family, and her dad, and my heart goes out to TiFW and her family losing a dear family friend.

    OH, oh you found a freeway and could get out of the maze. Well laa tee-dah, ain’t you the best navigator in the world.

    Weird though, every time you and I get together something incredibly funny and stupid happens, ain’t it?

  242. “I am horrible when it comes to the Carolina/Texas/KC/Memphis fight about BBQ. I like it all.”

    None of the above can even come close to being as good as Western Kentucky BBQ.

  243. I didn’t lose my soul.

    I only rent it out…

  244. Are you in KC Stark?
    Did I meet you at the STL meetup?

    No, I lived in KC off & on from 1979 to 2007. Great town. I would rather have my eyes town out by bath-salts addled vultures than have you judgmental pricks stab at me for 5 or 6 hours straight. Fuck. ;)

  245. “It only costs you your privacy. And your soul…..”

    I had one for about 8 minutes and couldn’t handle it.

    WHY DO YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DENTAL APPOINTMENT!!!

  246. Pfffttt…. not like you’re really using your soul.

  247. Weird though, every time you and I get together something incredibly funny and stupid happens, ain’t it?

    here…..

    try the shrimp…..

  248. Which thread do I need to read to catch up?

  249. WHY DO YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DENTAL APPOINTMENT!!!

    heh heh heh

    yeah, like I’m not too involved in the lives of too many other people already.

    I want those I have chosen to ignore IRL to be able to find me online….

    no. thank. you.

  250. “I fucking hate this dream”

  251. “I fucking hate this dream”

    That’s the moment I truly fell in love with you.

    And, just so you know, you were right. I did survive. She’s gone and on her own and damn, I miss the hell out of her.

  252. “Hawt redhead?

    Was she crazy?”

    Is that a rhetorical question? We’re talking redheads here.

  253. Which thread do I need to read to catch up?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    ummmm, there’s like pretty much only one per day……

  254. CB, I have never heard anything about western KY BBQ.

  255. BiW, Cyn’s kiddo has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and they’re in the hospital getting his blood sugar and stuff settled down. Very sudden, but he’s asymptomatic, and feeling ok.

    Car in’s dad is very ill, cancer.

    And the TiFW’s lost a beloved pet today.

  256. >> I miss the hell out of her.

    If it’s any consolation, probably not much now but it will be, when she comes home it’s pretty awesome.

    It is every time my girls come home.

  257. In Western KY, Hobo stew is made with real hobos!

  258. people at the record music store tell me I simply MUST get a FB page….

    yah…. right… ’cause you all are already soooooooo interesting to begin with…….

  259. Thank you, Dave.

    *raises eyebrow at Wiser and Wiserbud*

    I knew about TiFW’s dog BECAUSE of Facedouchechimp.

  260. Dan is pissed because people at work keep friending me. He hates everyone.

  261. I don’t know. . . I miss my kid, but kinda like the silence and lack of drama too. I think I spent too many years in barracks and aboard ship. I relish the solitude.

  262. Alright, I have to go shave the beard off, since it’s back to the office tomorrow.

  263. Time to go shove a pillow between my knees and see if I can get some sleeps.

    Don’t ask. It helps. If anyone wants it later I may accept bids.

    Good night you goofyheads.

  264. He hates everyone.

  266. Time to go shove a pillow between my knees and see if I can get some sleeps.

    heh.

    I know that trick.

  267. THOSE AREN’T PILLOWS!!!!

  268. osoloco, Western Kentucky BBQ depends on great wood, sloooooooow cooking and many secret recipe bastes for its goodness. Most BBQ in the rest of the country is smothered in one kind of sauce or another after the fact, which makes one wonder why its flavor needs so much help. Next time you’re near Owensboro, KY drop into here for your introduction to this fine version of BBQ:

    http://www.moonlite.com/

  269. Also Godspeed, Neil Armstrong. You were one of my heroes. Pocket protector, slide rule and balls of steel.

    I played Neil Armstrong in a play in elementary school. Had to learn all about him to play the part.

    I was actually very sad to hear of his passing. I am also extremely pissed that our local paper had yet another story about the Dem candidate for the 5th district on the front page, as opposed to a story about him, which made page 3.

    Gotta love their priorities.

    Yet another sleazy Dem gets the support of the AFL-CIO? Front page, top headline story.

    The death of the first person in the history of mankind to actually step foot on the surface of another planetary body in our universe? meh.

  270. Thanks, CB. I want to to the Whisky Trail and Dan wants to do a BBQ road trip. I’ll send him the link. There are Morons that swear by Alabama BBQ.

  271. BiW,
    Beard? You know the rules! Pics, or it didn’t happen. Me, beard is a given. You, it is not…
    Of course, mine is white, yours, perhaps not…
    You young buck, you.

  272. Hey, how bout those Bears!

  273. Wiser, I’m taking some consolation that Armstrong is at rest, and by rest I mean tearing ass in the heavens with one hand on the throttle and the other controlling the pitch, roll and yaw.

    Ok nite for reals. Dave is beat.

  274. I don’t know. . . I miss my kid, but kinda like the silence and lack of drama too.

    Not there yet, but I’m sure I will be eventually.

  275. G’night, Dave.

  276. Wiser, how far away is Wiserdaughter for college?

  277. osoloco, that KY Bourbon Trail is fantastic. Two of the stops are in my original home county, Anderson County with its 2 tour distillers – Wild Turkey and Four Roses.

  278. CB, Bourbon trail in KY and Whiskey Trail in TN. LOL

  279. so, does anyone have any news on Krow?

  280. No Krow, no Jewstin.

  281. Oh, quite frankly I didn’t know TN now had one too … the copycats!

  282. Wiser, how far away is Wiserdaughter for college?

    Well, according to the GPS, she’s only 2 and a quarter hours away.

    The drive home took 4.5 hours.

    Fucking traffic.

    Rather cool set-up at the school, though. She’s on the 9th floor and we were not looking forward to moving her in. We got there and they handed us a blue piece of paper with her room number on it. “Just wait until they call you up and park. It will all be taken care of from that point on.”

    And it was. “BLUE GROUP, NEW CAR!” And a group of kids in blue t-shirts attacked our car, took all of her stuff and brought it up to her room, while someone took her and checked her in. We just stood there and watched, amazed and very happy.

    Nicely organized. Made the whole day go so much easier….

  283. No Krow, no Jewstin.

    Jews’ prolly okay, but I’m just a bit concerned about Krow….

  284. Here you go, osoloco:

    Damn, Jasmine is hawt….

  286. I hope she has fun. I mean, I hope she gets a quality education.

  287. Krow better show up soon. . .

  288. Thanks, CB. I follow them on FB.

  289. Chief, I remember the e-mail thing after Cranky but I don’t know if we need to ratchet it up to RL names and phone numbers. Krow has been off grid for awhile.

  290. Oso – I thinking the exact same thing.

  291. I hope she has fun. I mean, I hope she gets a quality education.

    I hope she has both. She’s been ready to move on the next step for too long.

    We were leaving her dorm on Thursday. We got on the elevator and wee headed down. Elevator stopped on the 8th floor and two big, young, strapping guys got on. We nodded, smiled at each other and the doors closed.

    I looked at wiserbride and said “So, I guess this is where I tell them to keep their hands off my daughter, right?”

    The two guys looked at me like I was insane. I cracked up. And they finally got the joke. And we had a really nice chat on the way down to the 1st floor.

    As I got off the elevator, I turned and said “Keep your hands off my little girl. Have fun in college!”, smiled and walked away.

  292. I looked at wiserbride and said “So, I guess this is where I tell them to keep their hands off my daughter, right?”

    HA! Good one.

  293. HA! Good one.

    Wiserbride was mortified. wiserson was stunned, then cracked up.

    scared the shit out of the guys. “who is this lunatic?”

  294. My Dad said almost the same thing to the Football Players that helped me move in to the dorm. I ended up living with 3 football players my Jr year. LOL

  295. I ended up living with 3 football players my Jr year. LOL

    for the very first time in my life, I regret never having been a football player……

  296. BTW, I have pics of all the stuff i was describing today.

    I was driving wiserbride crazy. She seriously doesn’t get why I found all that stuff so funny.

    It was so fucking hilarious.

  297. I was not exaggerating a single moment.

  298. If you had a FB page you could post pics of the hipster douches and we could laugh. Sigh!

  299. I ended up living with 3 football players my Jr year. LOL

    of course, reading this again, with a father’s eyes, I am suddenly not so happy…….

  300. Hahaha My dad was visiting the night that the wrestler I was “dating” lost his car.

  301. If you had a FB page you could post pics of the hipster douches and we could laugh. Sigh!

    Who needs Facebook for that?

    I have H2.37557899076!

  302. As we were driving up to the party today, we saw two roll-overs.

    first one was a car that was loaded and on it’s way to college and the second was a U-Haul truck, most likely on it’s way to school also.

    Great way to start the new school year, huh?

  303. We used to frequent a local Chinese restaurant. The parents shut down to follow the girls to school in Cali for a few days. Daughters rolled their car and perished in front of the parents outside of Grants. They, the girls, had been refilling my water for years. We knew them since they were ten and eleven.

  304. Morbid much?

  305. Very. I just wish that every story had a happy ending. I’m kind of weird like that.

  306. Daughters rolled their car and perished in front of the parents outside of Grants.

    Ouch.

    Yeah, I was not laughing as we passed them. It must have been so scary for them. I was very happy to see that it was only property damage and no one seemed to be hurt in either accident.

    I got caught in traffic once a long time ago. I was getting really pissed as we crawled along, thinking “there better be a serious damn accident to cause this, as opposed just some idiot going 40mph.”

    When I finally got up to what was causing the jam, I saw a rolled-over car in the divider, and an extremely scared looking woman clutching her infant child in her arms.

    I never felt more guilty in my life. I was so happy that they both seemed safe and I could not imagine how terrified they both must have been.

    I have never had that same thought when caught in traffic since.

  307. G’night. I’m doing “touch and goes” here.

  308. We were following a car through the mountains after a wedding. Suddenly, their taillights disappeared and we had blood on our windshield. Car in front hit a deer and went into an arroyo. I did CPR on a baby and we sped to the closest hospital. I was cool until everyone was pronounced ok. Then I went into total meltdown. I hate having to be the strong person.

  309. On the other hand, we did pass a mini-cooper with an Obama 2012 and an Elizabeth Warren bumper sticker on the back.

    If I had been alone, I would have slowed down and spit on the car.

  310. I did CPR on a baby and we sped to the closest hospital. I was cool until everyone was pronounced ok. Then I went into total meltdown. I hate having to be the strong person.

    wow.

    You are freaking awesome. Seriously.

    How incredibly lucky for them that you were there.

  311. I flip off the AFA every time I go through the Springs. Did you at least cut the Cooper off or tailgate until they got scared?

  312. I still have nightmares about baby CPR. I can’t believe I remembered what to do. I’m really not that competent.

  313. I hate having to be the strong person.

    While I hope to never be in that situation, I can only hope I would be that strong.

    Seriously, I am in awe.

    I was driving in Idaho early one morning and the road was really slick, so we were all staying away from each other.

    Suddenly, the pickup in front of me starts skidding, goes into the center divider and flips over. I pulled over as quickly and safely as I could, ran over to the pickup, no knowing what to expect.

    Luckily, the guy was okay. Was already out of the truck by the time I got there.

    took him to a rest stop so he could call for help, and then left him behind, as I had a flight to catch.

    Still not sue what I would have done if he were seriously injured, but I wasn’t even thinking about that as I ran to the truck.

    weird how our emotions and fears shut down in that situation, huh?

  314. I flip off the AFA every time I go through the Springs.

    Aw don’t be doing that – that’s where my wife went to school, and where we were married.

  315. Did you at least cut the Cooper off or tailgate until they got scared?

    wiserbride was driving and she is not as … passionate.. as I am…

  316. I still have nightmares about baby CPR. I can’t believe I remembered what to do. I’m really not that competent.

    The parents should be sending you a Hanukkah gift every Christmas….

  317. Sorry, Geoff. Even when the Springs was on fire I was flipping the bird to Phat, Heather Wilson, and apparently your wife. I don’t drive. I’m Capt. Roadrage’s Co-pilot.

  318. and where we were married.

    Geoff hates when other’s steal his bit…

  319. Phooey. I’m back for a bit. No driving horror stories to tell.

  320. Last I heard, the baby is now a HS grad and going to NMSU. An Aggie. Not even a cool Aggie lie Tifw, Peel, or Sithy. A loser NM Aggie.

  321. Last I heard, the baby is now a HS grad and going to NMSU.

    LAST YOU HEARD!?!?!?

    wow. I cannot imagine leaving the woman who saved my child’s life out of the loop…..

  322. The Uncle and my Aunt had a bitter divorce. I rarely hear from his kids.

  323. Even when the Springs was on fire I was flipping the bird to Phat, Heather Wilson, and apparently your wife.

    Looks like my wife graduated 2 years after Ms. Wilson. The Chapel is a cool place to get married. And free for USAFA grads.

  324. GayPatriot is using the same avatar on Twitter as J’ames, and it is seriously messing with my mind.

  325. Seriously, I still can’t believe I remembered my CPR training from swimming. I am a total blonde about most things and everyone was really surprised that I knew what todo.

  326. GayPatriot is using the same avatar on Twitter as J’ames, and it is seriously messing with my mind.

    Jay in Ames is gay???!?!?

    that explains so much…..

  327. Roamy, when I saw your “footprint” avatar, I misted a little bit. A few other morons copied you and I’m cool. Jay is Isaac. Who is copying him?

  328. One of my friends picked the Apollo 11 patch for his avatar. He is worried that not only will there not be a state funeral for Armstrong, that Obama won’t even lower the flag for him.

  329. Geoff, I’ve been there for Lobo FB to watch my team get killed. I need to check the schedule. AFA meat up?

  330. I don’t know GayPatriot’s RL name. I just follow him on Twitter.

  331. Looks like that game is 10/20, which is entirely possible (so long as I’m not doing one of my penalty weeks in Boston, like I am right now).

  332. We really need a RL tracker. I worry too much about you FiF as it is. Krow? Jew? Sean wearing Dodger gear out of fear instead of a real cool Trout Jersey?

  333. I would slit my wife’s throat to be with this woman….

    okay, before you go crazy and call wiserbride to warn her, watch this:

  334. Mini meat? Cathy is in CO too.

  335. Preference cascade – squeee!

    @guypbenson: The new WaPo poll with Romney +1 w/ registered voters has a D+9 sample.

  337. He is worried that not only will there not be a state funeral for Armstrong, that Obama won’t even lower the flag for him.

    A State funeral? For someone other than The Won???

    It is too laugh….

    Neil’s problem is that he was a quiet, humble white person.

    He will be soon forgotten. Such is the class of the current administration.

    As much as I appreciate Mr. Armstrong’s desire for anonymity, to allow his passing to .. um… pass, with less honor than would be given to …say Billie Jean King, is an insult to his legacy.

  338. Mini meat? Cathy is in CO too.

    Aye – I could grab her on the way down.

  339. http://xbradtc.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/load-heat-118/

    I suddenly feel very, very dirty.

    But I still think Malin is stunning.

  340. … I could grab her on the way down.

    I am so jealous right now….

  341. Would it make you feel any better if I ‘fessed up that I found those pics and XBrad put together the poat? There were three or four Load HEATs like that until I figured out: 1. No one is going to think any less of me for putting up cheesecake pics as opposed to beefcake pics. 2. How not to eff up the gallery option.

  342. Would it make you feel any better if I ‘fessed up that I found those pics…

    oh…

    oh my….

    oh my yes….

    tell me more…..

    hold on, let me turn down the lights first….

    okay…

    go on…..

  343. Time to get serious about work. Y’all have a good night and week.

  344. okay, should I be disturbed that they just ran a gay male phone line commercial during The Big Bang Theory?

    I think I may have stayed up way too late tonight….

  345. G’NITE,JEFF!!!

  346. Hahahahahaha.

    Cobie Smulders was my first. :D
