Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. A little music to get you moving.
Aggie alerted me to the fact that Melissa Gilbert was getting married, which means Bruce Boxleitner is up for grabs. I had a crush on him going back to “Scarecrow and Mrs. King”.
Silver fox now.
Where was I? Oh yeah, redhead(ish) for Carin.
This is some rugby player, sorry I didn’t save the file under his name.
We like the real football in this country.
Drop and give me 20.
Okay, I’m tired now.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Indeed.
I think you’re right, Carin. You should go check him out close up.

Lol, we were looking at some funnies like that at work. Lemme see if I can find them.
I can’t read this blog in a temp office, when I’m in the front row and everyone can read my screen.
I’ll be scarce! Sorry!
J’ames is being kept down by the man.
Hola, chicas!
Ha – there are some good ones here- top ten sequester cuts.

I like this one from comments
#14 : No golf carts, must carry own clubs. Caddies would be security risk.
Internet Explorer 9 is the shit, man!
said no one, ever.
You may have notice that the Governor of the CNMI (Saipan) just resigned.
Hi Car in. Tell me everything about everything.
I’m sad that J’Ames is not secure enough in his masculinity to have a screen full of muscley boyz on at work, and be all like, “What? It’s nothing. Just half-naked men. Like every Wednesday.”
MJ, I don’t know nuthin.
But Obama is an asshole.
Of that, I’m sure.

Did the drink makin’ video get made yet, or are you still slacking?
You had a man-card?
I’m putting in with BBF. It’s just easier to combine the two things, then post the recipe at the other site.
It was on the top shelf in the garage. I didn’t really know I had it.
At some point, I should become a more serious drinker and get tools other than my little juicer and a spoon.
I have “The” muddler, Leon.
I definitely need to get “a” muddler, but I should probably grow some mint first.
I doubt there is a muddler anywhere with more mileage on it.
“Mileage” is a good euphemism.
heh
I’ll bet it’s Friday where you are, ‘Cano, and you came looking for bewbs. Bzzzzzzz… it’s raining men today.
Is it bad that I’ve never heard of Clive Davis or Kelly Clarkson?
It’s like and hour until Thursday. And I look for those every day of my life.

I would like to adopt tequila cat, although, will I be responsible for paying for rehab?
Neither Thursdays nor men. BEWBS!!!!!!
Mare, I’ll pay for the rehabilitation of your pussycat.
Because I’m a gentleman.
GG only speaks using music links? Hmmm. Spammy-ish.
I’ve heard of Kelly Clarkson, but only because the gym is normally stuck on top-40 music. Every now and then we get classic rock if the right staff is around, but it’s mostly Kelly and Katy and Ke$ha.
Hotspur – yes.
Isn’t Clive Davis some producer or something. I know Kelley Clarkston, but I couldn’t name a song she does. Or probably identify one.
Same with Ke$ha. I’ve heard of them, but I try to limit my actual knowledge as much as possible.
CYN: How about some Spammy lyrics?
Well, there’s egg and bacon,
egg sausage and bacon
Egg and spam
Egg, bacon and spam

HA! Well done, ‘Cano.
*gives him ‘The Muddler’*
Americano, why’d the Saipan dude resign? What did you do to him?
Oh, my purusal through pop songs is usually limited to what I hear on American Idol.
Again. Your Whore Mouth. Shut.
My daughter likes to watch it, and she likes me to watch it with her.
Anyway. Those kids are just a bit touched in the head. I don’t understand how a ONE Of them thought it was a good idea to attempt to perform that Goyte song.
It was beyond painful.
That’s worthy of cranking to 11.3145, Carin.
So, if you all put your two weeks in and you had over a week’s worth of sick days left and if you didn’t use them, you lose them……would you use some of them before you left?
And today, the conference room across from my office is being shampooed. At least it’s stlightly farther away.
beasn, the right time to use them was before you gave notice, IMO.
I may hafta get called for Intentional Grounding on Football Guy up there.
I know I’m dating myself here, but I remember getting all hot and bothered the first time I saw Bruce Boxleitner on TV – some series about a frontier family in the 1800′s (he married his co-star IRL as I recall – I was jealous as hell…..).
I was a young and impressionable teenage virgin back then, but I wouldn’t have kicked Mr. Boxleitner out of my bed IYKWIMAATTYD
You know, I could eat a snack cake right now.
Every stinking one of them you could get away with, Beasn.
Beasn: (1) He resigned for “health reasons” (He just got impeached by the House, and was to have his trial in the Senate in early March).
(2) No comment. Heh.
Thanks CYN. I do occasionally link some good song.
I’m lurving the Deftones right now.
And Beasn: Take your leave, of course.
Wait… I thought you just quit outright, Beasn??
*nonchalantly hands Carin a knife and dessert fork*
Beasn, call in “sick” every other day until your final day. Or call in “sick” every day of your last “week”.
Might as well get them used to what life is gonna be like A.B.
Beasn quit?
I asked for an update.
*takes knife and fork from Cyn and starts unwrapping tastey snack cake*
There will be no updates and you’ll like it.
*unfolds cloth napkin with wide swinging flourish and places it delicately on Carin’s lap*
I’m guessing an ‘every day sick thing’ wouldn’t work. At most big companies, don’t you have to get a doc’s note after three days.
Oh, Jim-broooo……
Oh hey, I just remembered that Scott is pre-med. All set then.
Oh my good lord.
One if my childhood friends is a GRADUATE school teacher -dance theory. @@
She’s asking for examples of “dance activism.”
WTF does anyone need to study – at a graduate school (or even grade school) “dance activism.”
The stupid just burns.
I think they just try to justify their (useless) profession. They don’t produce anything, etc… unlike “artists.”
Beasn, use them.
http://bit.ly/11V9NeC
There will be no updates and you’ll like it.
Just so you know, I will be writing a formal complain to Wiser about this.
*cuts snack cake into 32 pieces to share *
Good luck today, Vman.
Carin, that’s Wiserbud’s department
Car in, I gave notice on Monday. I do not see things improving anytime soon, even though my slacking nemesis walked out with an itchy hoohaw (heh). She is supposed to give notice today if they don’t fire her first (which should have happened 3 times over due to her attendance and never did).
I’ve put up with a lot of crap for the past 2 years and even though I would have been extremely happy not to have to deal with her, I’m done with carrying the entire load. Too much stress, no respect, not enough money for that shit sandwich every day.
Mr. Beasn is going to be my sugar daddy while I use my talent in other mediums for a little while. Not to mention the fishing trips he wants me to go on – Bonus.
“Dance” is pure practice, it doesn’t need a damn theory.
Here’s her bio- her department is “Performance as Public Practice”. @@
SHe has a PHD.
Rebecca Lazyass-ShitForBrains (Ph.D., Northwestern University) is a dance historian, performance scholar, and choreographer whose research interests include modern and postmodern dance, stagings of identity in physical performance, and the relationship between research and practice. Professor Lazyass-ShitForBrains teaches courses in dance history as well as undergraduate and graduate seminars that focus on identity in performance such as “Gender and Sexuality in Performance,” “Jewish Identity in American Performance,” “Transforming Literature and Text into Physical Performance,” “Choreographing Gender, Dancing Desire,” and “Researching Performance/Performing Research.” Rebecca is currently completing her first book, Dancing Jewish: Jewish Identity in American Modern and Postmodern Dance (forthcoming with Oxford University Press), and has published articles in Theatre Journal, TDR: The Drama Review, Feminist Studies, Opera Quarterly, and Dance Teacher Magazine.
If I recall WM leave policy, and granted that was 8 years ago, you need a doc note after 3 days. Like cutiepiesnookemscuddlehugs said.
Crap. can someone delete her last name. I don’t want it to show up on anything.
I don’t want to hurt her feelings.
Oh, wait, here’s my example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira
Peasants forbidden weapons develop martial arts for defense and rebellion. Practicing the arts is then forbidden, so they hide it by practicing all the moves as dance.
Cyn, why do you people keep electing John McShitcan?
Cyn, you are correct. After 3 days I would have to get a Drs. note. But if I used a 4th, they can’t not pay me for it…just maybe give me shit since any points towards a write-up would be pointless at this time.
Fixed it, Carin.
Fixed it, Carin
beasn, the right time to use them was before you gave notice, IMO
So said my husband and the last shred of integrity I have. By next week, that might be dissolved.
I gave notice on Monday.
Then you’ll be able to squeeze-in a few sick days here and there, but you’ll not be able to recoup them all.
And good for you, Beasnssszs.
Cyn fixed it better.
Ba haaa haaa haaa …
Dancing Jewish: Jewish Identity in American Modern and Postmodern Dance (forthcoming with Oxford University Press)
And the only way she’ll make money off that fucking thing is to do what all other useless college profs do – make it required reading for the class. The students will be forced to buy it.
At this point, Beasn, you have one foot out the door. Make this time fun and unstressful.
Maybe screw up a few cakes just for the helluvit. They do make for funny stuff out on the internet, so be sure to take a few pictures.
I thought Jews had no rhythm and couldn’t dance. Did South Park mislead me?
She just asked this on Facebook:
“Can anyone think of a powerful example of recent dance activism or public protest through site-specific dance (including flash mobs)? Something other than the recent One Billion Rising event. ”
Ba haa haaa haaa..
Someone responded:
“Does it need to be movement or can you talk with them about stillness, ie: the type of sit-ins that got recalled into service with Occupy?”
Idiots talking to each other. Is sort of interesting.
I was going to use those sick days up, but then they hired a new girl and I would have felt bad not getting her properly trained (this was 2 weeks ago). But the days she showed up, they wouldn’t allow me to begin her training beyond cupcakes and then they said they had to cut a shitload of hours in the next two weeks and sent her home, not to come back for several more weeks.
Every new decorator they put on cupcake duty and they never get properly trained or it takes twice as long. And when I go on vacation or call in sick, shit hits the fan. Not doing it anymore.
Thinking on it, they’ve crapped on me with no thanks for all the times I’ve saved their bacon, I don’t think I will feel so bad for using a few of my sick days this last week.
Exclusive BeasnCake: “Happy Bithday, Moom”
“I think stillness counts for sure. but I’m thinking of actions marked or framed as “dance,” to help counter the feeling of some students that dance may not be an effective tool for activism in public settings. I’m thinking of a dance version of Pussy Riot for example (which is small-scale but made huge mark), or something involving lots of people.”
@@@
Hotspur, my theory is that people like her really don’t produce anything of value, so they go and teach in college, and try to justify their interests as an academic discipline.
She is EVERYTHING that is wrong with college today.
In another time, people like her would be writers for Vanity Fair or whatever. But the hordes of useless thinkers who produce nothing kept growing and growing. They needed to find new places to pay them for their crap.
One of my cousins has a Masters in Dance Therapy. She got her BFA in dance. My BFF has a BFA in flamenco.
Her dad was a UAW lawyer in Detroit.

BeasnCake: “Eat Me”
I don’t understand why someone needs a graduate level degree in Dance.
Heh. Americano brings the funnah.
Cyn, thanks. Though I can’t screw up the cakes. People are paying for a product to look a certain way and I have to deliver. I like doing that.
Now if I have a mouthy welfare whore, I will pass their cakes to someone else if I can.
Time to make cake………
*calls Beasns’ store to put in an order for Two-Girls-One-Cupcake, and 173 Goatse Cakes*
Rose Etta (Ph.D.) is a masturbation historian…
HAHAHA!
Why on God’s green Earth does anyone need a college degree to dance, think about dancing, or write about dancing? Are her student loans paid off, or did she default or get some douchenozzle to pay for it?
Plumbers are better educated and they go to f*cking trade school.
Car in, please tell this woman that her life is a parasitic waste and that she should stop contributing to the heat death of the universe at her earliest opportunity.
Americano’s comment needs to be the next poat – with gifs. And music.

Sorry guys, but this stuff …. it’s just blowing my mind. This is hear talking about a choreographer:
XXXXXX, a dancer, choreographer and historian at University of Texas at Austin, places Lerman alongside other important 20th-century American Jewish dance makers, including Edith Segal, Dvora Lapson, Sophie Maslow and Anna Halprin. “She works in a long-established tradition of Jewish female choreographers who have worked from a liberal, leftist, feminist perspective and who, through their choreography — as well as, for many, through the diversity in their companies — envisioned in their dancing a multicultural, pluralistic, just, democratic society,” Lazyass-ShitForBrains said.
Vital to Lerman’s work — which often takes place outside traditional theater settings, such as public parks, train stations and, memorably, in a defunct naval shipyard and on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial — have been the explicit and implicit ways she has engaged particularly with concepts related to tikkun olam, or repairing the world, through her choreographic and community encounters. “You could mention any area that would be interesting or relevant to Jews, and Liz’s work has addressed it at some point,” Lazyass-ShitForBrains said. “There are few of her generation of choreographers who are Jewish and who have consistently over time created the wide range of works relevant to Jews or that address Jewishness. A lot of other [Jewish] choreographers do so with one or two pieces.”
The funny thing – despite my friends Jewishness – she is a secular jew. Her facebook page had her christmas tree on it, etc.
“such as public parks, train stations and, memorably, in a defunct naval shipyard and on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial”

All of my low information voter friends seem to be enthralled at the return of Robin Roberts to Good Morning America. I didn’t even know who she was.

Evidently, Carin.
Huh. And Robin Roberts is who?
Who wants to hear about my lunch?
Whole wheat pita bread, Lebanese salad, with bit of Baba ganoush to add some zing.
What if I didn’t want to hear about it?
I remember Robin Roberts from ESPN.
She was diagnosed with cancer, went into remission, last year she got cancer again. I think she just had an experimental bone marrow treatment.
“What if I didn’t want to hear about it?”
LOL
Hotspur, you lovable douche.
I’ve decided to allow a little grain back into my diet. Just rye sourdough, and only occasionally. Life is too short to give up the occasional homemade pizza on real bread. Fuckit.
I got a starter going last weekend and it has started acting and smelling right as of yesterday.
Rye flour + orange juice wins again! So quick and easy.
She was diagnosed with cancer, went into remission, last year she got cancer again. I think she just had an experimental bone marrow treatment.
And since none of us have any of our own personal crises to deal with, we’re supposed to celebrate her.
Plus, she’s going to interview Michelle later this week.
This is really cool. Too bad you can’t specify the impact location.

“And since none of us have any of our own personal crises to deal with, we’re supposed to celebrate her.”
I agree Carin.
And as a larger question; To what degree am I obligated to care what happens to people?
There are precious, spindly, emaciated children in the sudan that can’t get enough food and water. It’s heart wrenching to see pictures and generally horrifying.
Some dip shit that has fought cancer (with I’m sure top of the line concierge care) comes back to her cushy TV job. I don’t give a shit. “She’s so brave!” Really? She wants to live, so she takes the treatment, kind of a no brainer.
Also, don’t piss me off.

Not to mention, that she probably didn’t have to worry about money while she took time off of work. na. I celebrate real heros.
She is EVERYTHING that is wrong with college today.
Is she hot?
I’ll bet she’s hot.
Rock climbing is a useful skill. I’d like all our snipers and demolition guys to get that kind of training.
Dance is just something to do on your way to the pole.
Pupster has an excellent point. Are there pictures available?
Is she hot?
I’ll bet she’s hot.
no comment.
There are pictures. She’s not hot, although I’m sure some men would find her type attractive.
Nice butt.
Is she hot?
I think if you have to celebrate your Jewishness, that is actually code for “I’m a fucking lesbian, with kinky un-styled hair, and a bad complexion.”
NTTIAWWT
Is Ms. Lazy-Ass-Shit-for-Brains also a lesbian? Or is she still a “Q”(Questioning)? Perhaps she’s a “B”(Bi) or a “C”(Confused)?
I’m guessing none of her “Dancing” involves partners – especially that involving two heteros actually *shudder* touching (y’know, like ballroom dancing, square dancing, 2-stepping, etc.).
I don’t watch GMA or Today, but the 47% do. They also watch Honey Boo Boo and the Real Housewives shows. They vote for Big Bird and Binders of Women. They know who Lena Dunham is and think that Jimmy Fallon is clever.
NTTIAWWT
Yes there is.
She is married, so not gay, but her brother is.
Of course.
Teresa, I’d minimally put the odds at 100% that she’s “experimented”.
Choreographer=not hot in the dance world.
Last year she did some big deal (I don’t remember if it was a performance or a paper or what) – about gay partnered dancing. May have been latin dancing.
Oh. And I forgot.Her mom (who -i knew very well – I practically LIVED at their house as a child) became a later-in-life lesbian.
Being married is not evidence of lack of gayness. Just ask Pupster.
This was the woman who explained the whole sex thing to me.
*wonders if I was properly informed
I’m reasonably sure she is not gay. Her husband looks a bit questionable, though.
With five kids under your belt, I’d say you have it down pretty pat.
Supersize family!
Where the fuck do you get these “friends”?
I don’t see why it’s so bad not to care about people as a whole. Who really give a shit?
I care about people connected to me, but the others? Fuck ‘em.
I care about civilization more than I care about the people in it.
Hotspur, you remember where I grew up as a kid, right? I was surrounded by these types of arty liberals.
She was my BEST friend growing up. Lost track around high school, and found her on facebook,etc.
I understand why the staff where she works care. What they don’t seem to understand is that there is no reason that WE should really care. So all the news coverage of this stuff ( I actually did see her photo on the covers of all the magazines at the grocery store yesterday) – is the media’s self-centeredness.
They care, so we should care.
Just as they feel that they are better equipped to dictate everything to us, from politics, to morality, to etc …
She’s asking for examples of “dance activism.”
Well I, for one, think that there is no better example of Dance Activism than a lithe young lady who is confident enough in her own sexuality to remove her clothing and celebrate her femininity by undulating on a pole (said pole being representative of all that is eeeeeebil in the oppressive male of the species).
By OWNING that pole and making it hers, she is sending a message to her fellow sisters out there that NOBODY puts Baby in a corner.
And afterwards, she can donate all of the money that she has fooled those filthy misogynists into throwing at her to a Battered Women’s Shelter – thus proving to the world that she is Enlightened and Noble.
I wonder if I can get her to “friend” Teresa. She’s down in Texas. Austin.
The MFM gets to decide who and what is covered as “News.” We are boned. On my way to the dentist…yay?
The pole is the Sacred Masculine, and the dancing thereupon is symbolic of the destruction of the patriarchy by radical feminism.
*grin*
She is married, so not gay, but her brother is.
Her mom……became a later-in-life lesbian.
I’m reasonably sure she is not gay. Her husband looks a bit questionable, though.
She’s down in Texas. Austin.

Grats Vmax, excellent news.
Congratulations, VMAX!
Oh, Vmax, that is really FANFUCKINGTASTIC news!
Did they tell you when there will be a final-final decision made?
Hooray, VMan!!!!!!! So excited for you ♥♥♥
WooHoo! Vman!!!!
Woohoo! Vman! I’m so happy for you. I’mma keep my fingers crossed until you’re actually hired.
A few days Cyn I even had the parting, If you were to take the job how long would you need before you can start?
They took me to lunch and I am certain I will be moving soon.

This is fantastic news. Great job.
That’s really excellent, Vmax. I will be celebrating on your behalf when they seal the deal with you, my friend. {{Hugs!}}
BOOYAH!
Whoever advised Vmax to wear a shirt to the interview, is a genius.
I had my doubts, but that was probably the right call, and what put him over the top.
BAM!
*pouts
I said no shirt, but still wear the tie.
I bet it was the latex that did it.
I remember advising pants. I didn’t say anything about a shirt.
Tequila cat for the win.
I said no shirt, but still wear the tie.
I told him that no torso-coverings at all and a shaved chest would look much ‘neater.’
Honestly, I have no art for any of this stuff. It’s a mysterious skill set.
Excellent news, vmax!

It probably will be worth it, but only because she refuses to game the system with me by divorcing and then living together and not telling anyone but the EBT people.
*sigh*
It was a great plan.
I had the same conversation with Mrs. Pupster, when I found out my unemployed step sister in law was getting $700 a month in food assistance. She ain’t buying it either.
Women, amirite? Can’t live with ‘em and not marry ‘em just for the government handouts.
I’m not sure how to structure a worthwhile or funny contrapositive, so I’ll stop with that.
It probably will be worth it, but only because she refuses to game the system with me by divorcing and then living together and not telling anyone but the EBT people.
That tactic occurred to me as well, but I just don’t think I have the stomach for even a faux divorce. But I’d save $20K in taxes if I did it.
Great news, Vmax!! I’ve been buried in work, so I don’t know the particulars, but I know it’s been a long and bumpy ride. Thanks for that, Pelobamareid!!
Great news Vmax! Hope it plays out as you desire.

I still want to rub a balloon on DGs hair to see what happens…SCIENCE!
I hate to tell you this MCPOgrandpa, but DG and I have the same haircut.
MJ, I would wager that DG doesn’t have a haircut, as it likely never has been.
MCPO, there is no instrument capable of measuring that much adorableness. She’s off the charts.
MJ, DG is probably taller.
My niece, Deanna, had the exact same hair as a baby.
DG is taller.

Friggin’ elves. Hate those guys.
French. I assumed you would speak it, dwarf.
God, I hate all of you so much.
I don’t speak a word of French, nor do I intend to. It would permit me to speak with Quebecois (worthless) or French people (see Quebecois).
English, German, and Spanish are going to have to be enough.
I took two years of French in high school.
Mostly because the French teachers were soooooo much better looking than the Spanish teachers.
You know who else spoke German?

Vmax, I’d like to introduce you to “airport bars” and the concept of “captive customer base”.

Since I moved here and married Scott, I’ve only deliberately interacted with our several immediate neighbors a few times, and pretty much each time has been a painful abortion.

Lauraw – we actually have incredibly nice neighbors. A month or so ago Dad’s emergency brake failed and his car ran down the driveway and plowed through their fence – they were just glad no one was hurt.
Then when we had the storm dad plowed their half of the driveway for them since the service they pay for didn’t show and they don’t have a blower themselves. A couple days later they gave my dad a bottle of Jack.

Did anybody describe anybody else as a quiet person who kept to him or herself to reporters today?
You were at the same meetup with him, Tushar. The first one you went to, in that marina by the CT River. When you brought Sobek.
Laura, I came in very late for that meatup ( Sobek totally misjudged travel times), and most of the people had left by the time I could say hello.
“The S&W M&P Shield 9mm is going to get a look too.”

True, Tush. You two guys came in during the restaurant phase.
That was the Spring of 2009.
Dang.
Looks like the mini-meat with Peej and Lippy is happening this Saturday. The restaurant has a “No Inflatable Livestock” policy, so b-rad won’t be attending.
You should really get to know your neighbors, Lauraw. Once you’ve gained their trust it is much easier to lure them into the `basement` to help you `lift a box down from a high shelf`.
Also, if you don’t interact, they’ll have nothing to tell the media when the story finally breaks.
They were a quiet couple, always puttering around in the lush and gigantic back yard…sometimes burning stumps, it just goes to show you that this can happen anywhere.
My mini-meat with Cyn is happening this Saturday too!!! Squeeeee!!!!
Huh. I did my whole “Did anybody…” thing this evening without actually reading the conversation about neighbors above it. Weird.
You might like her Oso.

Pups, allow me to perform a brief inventory.
1: Next door neighbor two houses to the South: Dick. Is the main informant to the Historical Society if one of us should happen to change a doorknob without permission. Personally harasses other neighbors in non-Historical zone if he sees they are installing anything new, or if they have too many cars in their driveway or too many boats in their backyard.
Shoots off scads of illegal fireworks every year on the 4th.
2: Next door neighbor one house to the South: Young, cagey. Small children. I called them on the phone once after 11pm to offer them the use of our extra sump pump during a flood, and they never fucking forgot it. Not as a helpful idea in the middle of an unfolding calamity, but as an *unwanted late night call.* Goddammit. These people were my only chance at feeling normal.
3: Next door neighbor to the North: Batshit spinster. Scared of various fumes and sounds. Thinks my husband cultivates Poison Ivy and had the town come out and enforce their nonexistent edict against the cultivation of Poison Ivy, which is a fucking wild weed spread by fucking wild birds.
4: Across-the-street neighbor: They’re new. I’ve never met them and they are never home. Best neighbors ever.
So…just you, PJM, and Lipstick, Sean? Are they Asian?

Lauraw sounds like my kind of neighbor. 4 units in my condo. Unit 1: Canadian lady, balloonist, dog named Greeley. 15 yrs, don’t know her name. Unit 2: Gay guy, bought unit from firefighter 3 years ago, keeps to himself. Unit 3: Neighbor of 14 1/2 years moved out to take care of her mom. Used our phone once to call AAA. Sold condo 2 months ago. New neighbors have already said Hi twice in 2 weeks. I H8 that.

I’m gonna tell stories about punch cards.
My family brought punch cards over from the old country.
Neighbor round up! I love this game.
1. Next door left. Ex wife of local Chrysler dealer (he sold off and retired). She showed up at my door years ago drunk off her ass. Hadn’t seen her before or since. I think she died and the house is vacant.
2. Across street left: guy who actually lives 25 miles away where his business is, and left his teen now 20s age kids to run the place. This is where the bong smoke is heavy. We have an understanding after I visited with them and they are quiet.
3. Direct across, HVAC guy who has saved my bacon many times with repair/ maint when I was on the road. When I was at a CT meat up one summer the compressor motor died on a Friday night. He had it replaced by 8am on Sat. Watched his two kids grow up. Love them.
4. Next door right. Retired sweet lady we get along with great. Only drama was couple years ago her son (my age) OD’d in the garage. Me and HVAC guy went in to find him – long story she was out of town, called HVAC asking us to check on him. That was weird.
5. Next door right right, doctor a mom and 4 sons who all mowed my grass. We have a two year option on #4 then I told them they have to adopt.

Not meeting Mare is going to be awesome Phat.
Neighbors:
Two doors up, another engineer, married to a pretty Australian. They fly both flags in front of their house.
One door up, met them once in 16 years. Heavy rains wash out their gravel driveway every time. Clear cut the timber off his property, made it look like shit for two years until it grew back enough.
One door down, Church of Christ preacher and his wife. Nice enough, but I’ve only been invited in once.
Across the street, one door down. retired guy and his wife. Kind enough to not mind being the one on call when FIL was living here. Owns a donkey. Running joke after hearing the donkey braying is, “what was that you said, hon?”
B-rad, I painted my toenails too! Revlon Cherries in the Snow…
OK, dinner time.
hahahahaha, XBrad. Check off February.
So, show of hands… Who really enjoyed last night’s Justified?
BTW, Southland is back, and on tonight.
Nearest neighbor is 2 miles away in a straight line, further by road. It was a crazy old guy, but he died a year ago. Place is now up for sale. I’m pretty much a hermit, don’t deal with people unless I have to.
Pepe has even fewer trick or treaters than I do.
He stuffed his last one down a well.
We have no trick or treaters, locked gate 1.7 miles from the house deters visitors. Penelope goes to her parent’s house and hands out candy.
We have not had Trick or Treaters in 20+ years. I always worked Halloween though. Usually overnight. Setting Christmas.
Roamy, does that computer have a network card?
You can FTP the files to some other machine
Six units in our little courtyard.
Herself and I, Next to us is Claude. He is a retired USAF Msgt. originally from Ft. Worth. Owned his own business, sold it to his son. Makes the boy lease him a new Caddy every two years. Wears his Ranger cap year ’round.
Next is Shannon and Dave. Shannon is in early child development and Dave is a claims guy for Progressive Ins. They have 2 little ones Katie and Damon.
Across fm Dave & Shannon are Jim & Barb. They’re retired school teachers. Jim is friendly and Barb somewhat reserved.
Next to them are Courtney and Ken. Courtney is off at USAF tech school right now as she joined the Air Guard. Ken is an auto repairman. Both are devout Christians and nice young folks.
Finally, across from us are Pete and Sally and their two children. They are from Korea and own the dry cleaners shop. They work their tails off! The kids are the most well behaved and respectful teenagers you would ever want to meet.
I know this much because Herself coordinates a Sunday cookout in the courtyard every spring. . . and she makes me go and socialize.
Tushar, no, it did not have a network card. If it had had a network card, it would have been excessed much sooner, because of all the security requirements.
I have two other computers that are older. One is a PS/1, and the other is a 386 running on DOS. Pretty sure it’s older than the intern.
No network card? The only way that computer gets more secure is making it a mainframe with a French operating system.

Nice black lady to my right. And her little dog. Always doing some remodeling.
next to her, A white (or maybe Hispanic white) older guy living with a young black woman and her toddler son. I have no idea what the situation is.
No one to left. I have an end unit. Chinese couple with teenage son across the street. No idea what he does, but I always see different cars in his driveway. He is either a car dealer or a car thief.
Old white lady next to Chinese guy. Her daughter comes in once in a while to take care of her.
Divorced Indian guy next to old lady. His ex-wife comes around on weekends to drop off their two daughters. I feel sad when people with young kid are divorced.

Hope you cleaned the heads on that drive before you did the dump.
Even better, some of the disks were the 720kb size, not 1.44 Mb. Beggars can’t be choosers. I did remember to format correctly so I could read them on another computer.
Well shit. I come back and you’re all talking about computers.
Hey Revster! Hows by you?
and all the while, my co-worker was giving me crap about how his smartphone was better, faster, blah blah blah. No shit, Sherlock, STFU and find me two more disks.
Hahaha, awesome roamy!
Chief, I had Prodigy for first 3 years in US. My first PC had 16 Megs of RAM. My current one had 8 Gigs.
I had Prodigy for at least a year.
Hope you cleaned the heads on that drive before you did the dump.
Nope. It was used pretty regularly, so I wasn’t worried about that. The CMOS battery died, but it booted up anyway. I did check about half of the disks when I transferred the data to my desktop computer. I’ll transfer the rest tomorrow.
Tell young co worker that there was more computing power in a IBM PC-XT than in all the computers we used in the Apollo platform that took men to the moon and back. And we haven’t done it since with a smartphone.

Neighbor round up!
Next door North: The crazy people (and I mean crazy) moved out 2.5 years ago and sold the house for cash to the local mob boss wannabes daughter. She fixed the house up, sort of, then proceeded to decorate it with UF stuff on the outside. So tacky. She also has no grass and will not take care of it. Her boyfriend reached over the fence and cut a 20 foot stalk yellow and green striped bamboo that I started from a single 12 inch stalk. He won’t do that again.
Across the street: Awesome family with two kids. Both are smart, energetic, athletic, and well mannered. Teacher and work from home IT guy. They are super cool and friendly. They invite us to neighborhood stuff sporadically, but we never go because its usually a kid fest and Mrs MJ is a snob about shit like that.
Across the street 2 houses to the North: Single lady that is very particular. Once, at a brunch she asked us to dress her yorkie in a mini tuxedo which was really weird. She has a late 80s Jaguar XJS convertible and a new hard top version. She often waters the grass holding the biggest goddam martini I have ever seen. She’ll come over and borrow a cup of vodka is she needs it.
2 houses to the South: Investment banker and HSN model. She is skinny as fuck and is equipped with giant air bags. He only talks to me about Chicago cuz I guess he lived there or went there once. I have no idea which kids are theirs. She appears to be heavily medicated, but in a suburban, bored housewife type of way.
Across the street one house to the South: Dentist and Asian wife. I have not spoken to them nor have they returned a wave in 3 years.
2 houses to the North: Gaybors. They are awesome friends and most importantly they have at least 200 bottles of wine on hand at all times. The Vet cooks formal, 4-7 course meals with very interesting guests. We’re the token straight couple. The Marketing guy drinks a lot and makes a constant stream of sexual innuendos which I find hilarious.
Next door to the South: Single mom with two kids. Husband left about a year and half ago and then she dropped about 100 pounds. She’s smoking hot and has completely changed for the better. I always leave a bottle of champagne on her doorstep on NYE. Last year she cried a little bit. They are moving in a few weeks.
End of the street: Total MILF with a weirdo, stoner, douchy husband. She’s a huge flirt, but I don’t go for blondes so she does nothing for me. They have an actual bar in their backyard. Not a tiki bar, or a homemade dealio, an actual 20 foot bar, fully stocked. They named it FU-BAR.
A $5, a $10 and 5 singles.
