Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Let’s get started.
I like this one because he reminds me of this song.
This one means business, too.
Found this one on a hunky heroes webpage.
This one will give teh shirt right off his back.
I thought this one was cute, though this pic might be a bit much for H2.
Last, but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Ghey.
Look who’s first
wakey wakey
After seeing the Kitchen Nightmares debacle, I’d like to ask Carin if she’d rather be paid salary or tips. (The owners were keeping the tips then wondering why they had such a high turnover of staff.)
Good morning children.
“The courts call it murder. Democrats call it health care.”
-Representative Steve Stockman (R-TX-36th)
The owners said they paid $8 -$14/hour (probably closer to the 8) to their staff. Gordon Ramsey made a point of handing cash to the waitress and saying, “This is for you.”
The one you think “is cute” is a porn star. How do I know this (I knew you dicks would ask)? He’s the one who was hired to do a porn tape with the former “star” of Teen Mom.
It’s a sordid sick tale making the rounds, big on WWTDD.
I like the looks of the guy from “Hunky Heroes” but why is he holding his junk?
And “why not?” isn’t acceptable.
What debacle?
I would rather be paid in tips. While I do occasionally have a crappy night due to cheap people, I think overall I’m compensated for my abilities.
Mare, ew on the Teen Mom thing. I got his name from an article someone linked here yesterday.
This debacle: http://shine.yahoo.com/work-money/kitchen-nightmare-comes-true-for-arizona-restaurant-owners-182329445.html
the least I usually make is $10 an hour (plus a paltry paycheck .) On good nights I make over $20 an hour.
Which should make it obvious why I want to be paid in tips.
don’t make me say it. I don’t trust the IRS.
Wow. Mare with a better grasp of the porn industry than me.
Who would have guessed.
After watching the Youtube videos, I would ask the owners did you not understand that they installed cameras in your restaurant and that they might be running when you’re yelling, “Fuck you! Don’t come back!” to your customers? It’s like a microphone, assume it’s hot.
Also, if you’re trying to impress Gordon Ramsey with your cooking, you might want to try hard and not make him wait an hour for food?
Mare has her finger on the pulse of porn, apparently. Thanks to WWTDD.
Do you think maybe “I’m half-baked” Amy had some work done?
Ha. Restaurants are fun. The problem is so many people LOVE eat and are great cooks, so they think they can run a restaurant. When I’ve seen that show, it seems that is often the case.
Retirement dream, yada yada yada. There goes all their money.
Funny thing is, my cousin and her husband (who currently make bank and have three homes) want to do that.
I love them, but if they do it I’m going to laugh and laugh and laugh.
Honestly – just because you’re really successful at one thing, doesn’t mean you can conquer ALL things.
*waves at Gabe whenever he shows up*
Don’t know if you noticed this, but Amy appears to be a convicted felon.
Heh, I love it when people argue with Gordon Ramsey. Love him or hate him, the man knows how to run a restaurant, and has made a bunch of money off of it.
But sure, you know more than he does.
J’ay- the places he fixes up are either run buy people who have NO clue what they are doing, or need his creative (and $$$) infusion to spice up a place that has gone stale.
Didn’t know she was a convicted felon, but at one point, she was talking about putting something in the ravioli and hoping out loud that it hurt the customer.
Restaurants are one of the slimmest profit margins in a business. We’re talking 3%, and that’s if you make your own food from scratch, not buying it from others. If you have to buy, there goes your margin.
Then he knows that end of the business, Car in. I don’t care for his style, but he certainly wakes up a staff, and when you get his respect, you know it’s earned and you can be proud of that.
I prefer Robert Irvine’s approach to business and people. He can get a little nasty too.
Oh, I’m not criticizing Ramsey. I’m just saying that he picks places that have some realively easy fixes, for someone like him. And that amaturs running a restaurant is one of the biggest mistakes folks make.
I mean, how many times have you heard someone say “I’d love to own a restaurant.”
Who’ve NEVER even worked in the business.
Yeah, I prefer Robert Irvine myself. Though I have to think he might have choked a bitch in this case.
I like Robert Irvine, too. My favorite episode was the soup kitchen in NYC that had been damaged by fire.
Work time.
Excellent work, Roamy. When your doorbell rings today, that’s the pool boy I’ve had delivered in thanks.
*gets my pool boy uniform*
Oh sure, send over the pool boy when she’s at work.
I see how you are.
Aren’t you always in your pool boy uniform, Dave?
Pssst Jay… it’s a work-at-home day…
shhh

I’ve never understood the sneer for the camera bullshit that #1 is engaging in. It’s like they want to kick the camera’s ass or something. What the fuck did the camera do to need an ass kicking? Nothing. So why the sneer?

He’s wearing his hat stupid too.
He’s wearing a hat??
There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:
Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.. Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman…
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
Christmas came and went.
A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.
By the way, there was $4 missing.
I think it might have been those bastards at the post office.
Sincerely, Edna
HA!
Edna killed it.
Everyone is still reading.
JAY BROKE THE BLOG!
In about 20 minutes I’ll be looking for the bar in the hospital.
It’s down next to the smoking lounge.
Go to the strip joint across the street. I hear all the doctors go there to interview all the nursing students trying to pay their way through school.
Got someone interested in the conference table.
I might not have to move it again.
I can’t find the effen smoking lounge. I’ll do another loop around this joint.
The ER is hopping today.
Lady had a seizure and fell off a high top chair at our new competition. Bww.
It’s down next to the smoking lounge.
Do places (especially hospitals) still have smoking lounges? My employer has banned smoking on “the campus”, meaning even the grounds outside (of course, since they don’t own the building here at this remote site, their edict has no force).
Here in MA, I’m surprised they haven’t completely banned smoking any place someone could smell it.
Your Dad again, Car in?
Hugs and good thoughts.
*air drops mini wine boxes near the ER doors*
104 temp for dad.
Thanks Cyn .
No, I was joking about searching for the lounge. As clear as I can tell the smoking lounge is in the parking lot of the gas station across the street.
Best wishes.
Got someone interested in the conference table.
Excellent.
Shots are on Scott when he sells the table!1
Someone needs to entertain me. Noising into the other sick rookie is only so interesting.
So, Scott, tell me about this conference table.
Rookie? Sick people.
My iPhone hates me.
There . That’s how I want it.
*air drops Car in some xanax*
How bout some coffee and a sammich too, or am I overstepping?
It’s coming, it’s coming! These Homing Pigeons can only carry so much yannow!
Sorry to hear about your Dad, Car in – sending prayers, hugs, and happy thoughts your way ♥♥♥
*readies the next pigeon with a pool boy carrying a sammich and an espresso on ice*
Yea!
*wonders why the flying monkeys are such slackers
So I was doing some research for a post I’m thinking about writing, I click on an article, and my computer goes wonky.
Then I get some crazy-ass message telling me that my computer has been locked by the FBI, and I need to pay $300 in the next 48 hours, or I’m going to have a criminal complaint lodged against me.
Yeah, right.
I try turning my computer off then on again, and the same message pops up – I can’t maneuver off of the screen.
DD#3 goes on her computer to figure out WTH is going on; turns out there’s a new malware virus called “Ransom” something or other – she walks me through the steps to get to a screen where I can restore my computer to an earlier time.
Good times…..good times……
People are such assholes, Teresa.
But stop searching for porn.
Back in ’87 UMass Medical Center had a smoking side of the cafeteria and a nonsmoking side. Nurses and techs smoked in the break rooms on the wards. When I left in ’97 they had banished smokers to a glassed in structure on the patio on the patio outside the cafeteria. I’d be surprised if they allow any smoking now.
My hospital doesn’t allow smoking anywhere on campus which leads to a steady stream of employees smoking in a bus shelter on the main road. Patients’ familes smoke everywhere around the garage including right near the fuel tank full of aviation fuel for the chopper.
So, who is thirsty? Want a nice, fresh glass of water? Straight from the Quabbin Reservoir.
Cyn’s pigeon must have gotten lost. I’m getting a no food head ache.
If one of you bastards are eating my sammich ….

The thing I love most about liberals is their arrogant stupidity.
Good day, oily bohunks.
Remember me mentioning how one of our local reporters came under IRS scrutiny after he asked Obama about his excessive vacationing while the people are hurting?
http://danaloeschradio.com/exclusive-source-says-kmov-forced-reporters-hand-in-irs-scandal/
He was forced on-air to read from a scripted statement and is being told he can’t do any interviews on it. (Dana, Politico, etc)
And….
http://danaloeschradio.com/kmov-corporate-parent-throws-its-reporters-under-the-bus/
Connect some dots.
I stopped watching local news a LOOONNNNGGG time ago since they can’t seem to report anything on their boyfriend.
Cyn’s pigeon must have gotten lost.
Ummmm, yeah… lost. That’s exactly what happened. Probably.
So… 7 foreign nationals of the islamic variety

Surely they were there for prayers, you racists.
Will the powers that be look into their backrounds for chemicals or pressure cookers? Or just hand them their trespassing citations while wearing gloves so as not to contaminate the poor darlings with infidel cooties?
Or will Obama be the one to hang the black flag of islam over the White House when one of his own succeeds in poisoning the entire east coast.
The pace of new news related to Scandalpalooza is just dizzying
The thing I love most about liberals is their arrogant stupidity.
Their utter inability to accept, you know, facts, presented to them by people they disagree with is also kinda cute.

I think that’s exactly what was done. Because shut up, that’s why.

Scottw, I highly recommend front line government work if you can deal with incompetent management (*furtive glance at LW*), limited resources, and an entitled customer base.
Just had another morning of safety & sales training, Pups.
I like the part where you’re supposed to tackle the customers and wring loose change out of their grubby little hands. We have a special tool for that.
*shows off little piece of pipe for rapping knuckles*
I’m going to like this place.
So…you are in retail? What do they call EBT in CT?
Just taze them and take ALL of their money.
I’ll be pretty surprised if we have any EBT customers.

Xbrad, I suggested at the morning meeting that taking the pocket change was small potatoes, and we should have a crew out in the parking lot ‘cleaning’ cars and taking the nice rims.
Pretty sure that idea is going to get me promoted asap.
Nailed it, Laura.
Wow, that IRS medical records suit could be huge.
I’ll be pretty surprised if we have any EBT customers.
Well, lah-tee-dah.
Laura, it’s that kind of outside the box thinking that powers the capitalist powerhouse of our economy.
And by “box” I mean “prison.”
You have a point, Xbrad. Hm.
I should have left management out of this and run this myself with a few other ethically-unencumbered coworkers. Damn. Was just trying too hard, wanted to impress. Should have kept my mouth shut and done this on the downlow.
Pretty sure those managers would flip on me under the slightest pressure from “law enforcement,” and by “law enforcement,” I mean, “the police.”
No, I am saying, I’m surprised management didn’t go ahead and bump you to Executive Vice President- Client Automotive Retail Services
Holder, Obama and Carney are finally admitting what we all knew was true, the federal government is so large they can’t manage it.

This one couldn’t hurt either: http://youtu.be/8kZg_ALxEz0
>>>I don’t think we’re gonna see Obama frog marched out, but I’d at least like to see Holder’s scalp.
No way Obama’s going down, but I would love to see the press FINALLY do their job and make the last few years of his admin as miserable ad they made Bush’s
Drove 30 miles from Smithville to Cullman for a six pack. Got the coffee mug
Don’t stray too far from a VFW place. That’s where we used to go when we visited AEDC in Tullahoma.
Or, oh, I dunno, maybe this speech?
Fuck this shit, I say we move to Montana and start our own country!
Geoff has purdy teeth.
Fuck this shit, I say we move to Montana and start our own country!
Make it someplace a bit less cold and I’m all in!
*dons toga, and is ready to charge!*
If goddam MJ had gotten that job in the Virgin Islands, we could have started our new country there.
>>>Fuck this shit, I say we move to Montana and start our own country!
No prob. We just need to buy it from Ted Turner.
We can start here: http://www.montana-ranches-and-land.com/noxon-heron.cfm
Make it someplace a bit less cold and I’m all in!
Cold places historically make for tougher people. We’re gonna need some of that.
Also: fewer bugs and poisonous snakes.
You would not believe the windy slow roads from Lake Smith to Cullman.
Plus I was avoiding any place there was a tard with a banjo.
Yeah MJ! Why did you have to destroy all of our hopes?!
The tyranny started already. These loud revelations right now are just so they can jot down the names of those who feel emboldened to bitch.
Cold places historically make for tougher people.
Thas rayciss.
Not just cold places Leon. More places where it is difficult to make a living. Apaches were pretty tough.
Thas rayciss.
Sorta. European history through the Dark and Middle ages has a lot of repeats of the “barbarians come from the north and conquer the land, then settle and breed with the natives, then they get soft after a couple of generations” story. So it’s really racist against southern Europeans more than anything else.
That’s closer to my point, Pepe. Montana just struck me as comparable to Scandinavia. I expect the Appalachians would be just as good.
*DVRs “Mountain Men”*
Ha ha. I still remember my customers who moved here from San Diego. Two separate people in different years.
Each of whom were so emotionally whipped by our weather inside of a year that they fled back home at great personal expense.
“I can’t handle Winter, and rain, and less than two hundred consecutive days of 75-degrees and sunshine! WAAAHHH!”
By the third week of chilly drizzle and slush, you could read the astonished misery on their faces. It was adorable.
Google know way too much about me. Time to clean it all out and start again.
I have new neighbors, Brittany and Thomas. They are nice people, a little girl and another on the way.
Went outside to throw trash in curb thingy, and this very nice looking woman is walking up to the house next door. I drop my trash off and start the sprinklers up on the front lawn. Brittany comes over and introduces me to her older sister, Tanya.
No wedding ring on Tanya’s finger…
Makes me worried, given my history, that she is in danger of something bad happening in her life.
SOMEONE STOP MUNDANE BEFORE HE KILLS AGAIN!!!
Okay, I’ve gotta run. Try not to get each other’s hopes up about the press holding Obama’s feet to the fire while I’m gone.
More like I have this shadow of bad news fallowing me around…kinda like an Anti-Guardian angel
Thompson Falls, MT is considered the “Banana Belt” of MT. They get the warmer weather from the Northwest (Seattle) rather than the brutal Midwest/Canadian weather that they get in the eastern part of the state..
Lighten up Mundane. She’s probably gay.
Maybe she’s your good-luck charm, Mundane – arriving on the scene to turn your life around.
It’s all in how ya look at it, dear one ♥♥♥
Pupster…thanks.
TiFW…thanks ❤
Ya better lighten up, Mundy, or I’m gonna hack into your WP account and change your avatar to Eeyore…..
“Tanya” is probably French for Eileen Wornous.
I would probably freak at a Wisconsin or Connecticut winter. I growed up in Alabama, Texas.. I don’t even understand that shit.
I mean, I’ve seen it. For a few days at a time though, I didn’t have to live with it.
There are special clothes, right? Warm things?
*cinches the rope tighter, wind pickin up*
For Mundane:
http://is.gd/bkH3St
3 Winters in Germany, four in Colorado, 8 in Indiana. Yeah, I was ready for the brutal Southern California winter.
Oh, and two winters in Eastern “high today of -4” Washington.
Teresa…Paladins are supposed to suffer.
Texas is windier than Florida
So, Vmax is getting blown more in TX?
Or you can pick one of these:

One could spin it that way X.
If you are a prevert
Turn your frown upside down, Mundy – become a Nidalap instead….
You deserve happiness; don’t be afraid to let it in ♥♥♥
If you are a prevert
IF? How long have we known one another?
Plausible deniability.
Well, I guess there’s that. And while I hope you DO find a lady friend, I’m more concerned that you get your feet under you first.
Yikes – houses leveled south of us; there was apparently a huge tornado a couple of counties over. Power is out, and a neighborhood is being evacuated due to a gas leak.
Some serious injuries have been reported; hopefully not too many.
Thank you X.
Try not to catch anything that cannot be cured while you are away.
Thanks, V. Trying to decide to stalk the chick from Top Shots or country singer Sara Evans while I’m here.
DeCordova (Hood Co) damage: multiple critically injured and fatalities are being reported at this time. School buses req for walking wounded
Granbury, 30 miles or so southwest of Ft. Worth
So it’s passing to the south of you peeps? Or I should open a wundground tab?
Michigan winters vary a lot. 2011-2012 we had two weeks of snow and the temps stayed in the 30s, i.e. basically tropical.
2012-2013 was brutally cold for weeks on end. The last snow was on the ground until early April.
Jeezus.
South of Tif, North of Dave. I’m opening the tab.
Some real wrath of God stuff going on down there. Prayers for y’all.
Looks like I was wrong, and the SHTF here around 11:20 CDT. Big line forming up.
That’s some bad wind you’ve got, TX folks. Stay safe.
That thing that hit Granbury was at least an F3.
Mile wide tornados tend to be bigger.
Also fatalities reported.. this one is way between me and TiFW
Stay safe in Texas! We’ve been lucky up here this year. It’s been 356 days since a tornado visited Iowa. Or something like that.
That storm streams all the way up to Tulsa. Dang.
I remember those storms when I lived in Tulsa. Nothing to screw around with. At. All.
I’ll keep my occasional blizzard, thanks, you can have the winds.
took the umbrella out of the patio table and laid it down.. it yanked everything into the yard last week.
Storm spotters reported mile-wide tornado between Rio Vista and Cleburne – not sure how many folks live in that swath; may be mostly farmland.
Cleburne did get hit with golf-ball-sized hail and 75-80 mph winds.
That’s several miles south of where we are; looks like a line of storms is forming up west of us, but nothing big like the stuff that’s still churning around south of us.
Thank you, Xbrad…
My 1st and only time in Tulsa 7 tornadoes hit the town that night.
I decided the Big Man Upstairs was telling me something.
like “Go Away”
Hope all of our friends in Texas stay safe!
As for winter, I’ve spent two in Keflavik, Iceland. Montana don’t scare me.
Looks like things are calming down in our area; still under tornado watches/warnings, but it looks like mostly rain right now. FTW is “clear”, stuff is north and south of us; Dallas is getting hammered right now as well.
Dave’s area looks like it’s still got some stuff headed its way later on.
Jeez, I know folks from Cleburne!
Grapefruit sized hail.
http://tinyurl.com/aqd7hxm
is grapefruit sized.
Wow, is that from this evening’s storm, Xbrad?
Dang – we got hammered with some hail back in 1995 that was about 1/2 that size; sounded like rocks on the restaurant roof. Can’t imagine having something that size falling around you……
I do believe so, Ms. Cyn. Just found it on FB from…. Grantsbury? TX.
Hearing about fatalities in Hood county. Busy triage shit. School buses and stuff.
The line that will come here happens later,, but this stuff is so hard to predict. Could just be a gully washer.
Granbury.. west of me and TiFW. 40 miles south of her, 100 miles north of me
I wonder how Michael’s making out in that weather.
On the weather map right now, Tarrant County is a big empty square surrounded by lots and lots of pretty colors. It’s as if the storms hit the edge of town and just split apart.
Pictures out of Granbury – what can be seen in the emergency lights – are pretty nasty. Some of the trees look like they just exploded.
Now that’s a funny picture, Cyn.
Heh
I am asking relationship advice from the H8’ers.
Red called me Saturday. We have been emailing each other several times a week for the past month.
This is an escalation initiated by her that requires a response. Obviously it is call her back, but when? Are the weekends open by her Saturday call? Or are expectations requiring a more rapid response?
http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/05/15/tornadoes-large-hail-keeps-north-texas-on-edge/
Is that the might-be-crazy(ish) ginger, VMan? Could an inter-office fling cause future uncomfortable situations if things go bad?
Maybe just drinks, dinner, and/or a movie with a sweet 1950’s code of conduct. Take it slow so that nobody gets hurt.
Isn’t Red still back in FL?
Big-ass hail stones. Wow.
Car in gets the worst customers. http://i.imgur.com/eI0JG99.jpg
And http://i.imgur.com/iCGEx6h.jpg
Thought you were done with Red, Vmax.
Good luck with Tanya, Mundane.
XBrad, if you’d driven much more, you could have had dinner here. And booze.
Red is the one that dumped me 2x back in Fl TiF.
Before I left she was expressing remorse at my leaving.
Probably sorry that “Plan B” was leaving, but I left so why the escalation?
I still need to respond correctly, but what is the correct response?
We’ll know how bad things are in DC by whether or not TFG takes notice of the storm damage in the state-that-he-loves-to-hate.
If he decides to visit, you’ll KNOW it’s bad up by the Potomac……
Cyn, that reminds me of this one http://tinyurl.com/5dqf48
Variations of that one are all over work.
hell, we only had one inch hail last Thurs (which may have beaten my roof to hell, adjuster comes here to check it next week). Those fuckers would kill you if they hit you
but what is the correct response?
You can’t afford to travel until you get yourself on some secure ground.
My bad, VMax.
Some ladies can’t figure out what they want; sounds like you’re better off just ignoring her. Who knows if she’ll get the message or not.
Then again, what do I know? The last time I had a date with someone other than Mr. TiFW, Jimmy Carter was in office….. 😛
I still need to respond correctly, but what is the correct response?
A) Thank you, but now is not a good time.
2) You’re kidding right?! No, really, you’re kidding me?!1!
iii) Sure! C’mon over! I’ll have some frozen pizzas waiting!
d) Fuck no.
Z) *silence*
I’ve always loved that one, Roamy.
Hope this weather system passes your area by without firing up again. Looks like your part of the country gets more tornado warnings per year than we do.
that reminds me of this one http://tinyurl.com/5dqf48
Ha! Classic.
I forgot to add that any of the choices of A through Z above are perfectly acceptable, Zman.
If someone wants to tip me $6+ on $18, I’ll do the fricken math for them, no problem.
hundreds injured in Hood Co.
This is an escalation initiated by her that requires a response. Obviously it is call her back, but when? Are the weekends open by her Saturday call? Or are expectations requiring a more rapid response?
Eh. I say she’s just fanning her ego. She likes to have to you pay her homage long distance. She didn’t want a relationship, etc.
I say foch that shit.
Unless there’s something more to the story. That’s my first brush.
Vman, tell Red you wish her all the best in her life, but you’ve moved on, and perhaps she should too.
Seriously, have you seen how many good lookin’ women are in TX?
Roamy, sadly, the liquor store was south of the house. And probably only 5-6 miles away. The roads here are like squirrel trails tho.
I hear you. I am totally not invested in this but I want to be polite.
Face it I cannot afford to burn bridges either.
This is an escalation initiated by her that requires a response. Obviously it is call her back
Dude, you’re in the driver’s seat. Do whatever feels right, but if it were me, I’d play it cool and wait for her to call.
2 confirmed fatalities in Hood County (Granbury area). Lady at a church just said that a child of a friend of hers was missing.
Chief, your friends in Cleburne are getting very, very wet tonight – the storms have eased in intensity, but it looks like the heavy rains haven’t let up for quite a few hours (reports of 2 inches in one hour in some places).
I’m getting ready to head up to bed – I’m pretty sure there will be 3 in our bed tonight 😛 Looks like our little house on the prairie is going to be OK.
Keeping fingers crossed for Dave’s part of Tejas….
My first Texas electric bill arrived today. I used $19 worth of electricity. There was a $10 usage charge, and a $30 Delivery charge.
Apparently if I had USED MORE electricity (100kwh) I would have saved the $10.
Who Knew?
XBrad, at least you have Vulcan to keep you oriented.
Squishy hugs, good night, and be safe, Texas friends.
*nods at what Geoff said*
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/05/breaking-holder-justice-department-also-tapped-house-of-representatives-cloak-room/
xbrad – that Gateway Pundit post confused me. It didn’t seem like they actually “tapped” the cloakroom – they just tracked calls coming from it. I think the Representative misspoke.
Or am I confused?
Ignore her, Vmax.
Seriously, have you seen how many good lookin’ women are in TX?
What he said.
^I’ll note, it sounds like the call logs the DoJ yanked may have picked up calls to/from AP to members of Congress who were in the cloak room, rather than actually tapping the cloak room. There’s a world of difference between those two ideas. The congressman should have been more clear.
I mean, if Vman insists on sticking crazy hot women, Florida is a good place for them to be, but it appears she now knows where he is in TX, which kinda negates the whole point of only porking crazy out of state.
There’s a world of difference between those two ideas.
Yeah, I think Jim Hoft erred with his incendiary headline.
Jim Hoft trying to generate traffic? The duece you say!
Women on vacation are much easier than women at home.
Living in a resort town has advantages.
Plenty of
crazy chickswhores in TX, too.*rolls eyes in Mare’s direction, whistles nonchalantly*
The Lab Rescue emailed me to say they will call tomorrow or Friday to make an appointment for a home visit.
Zeke and I will soon be Lab family.
I like a good lab. Yellows and blacks. Even the occasional chocolate.
OK, off to bed. Gentle rain falling here right now, occasional thunder and lightning, but nothing too bad. Thank you, God.
Sweet dreams, all ♥♥♥
It turns out X, that I saved 10 Goldens in Max’s honor and was hospice for #11.
I intend to save 10 Labs in Bear’s honor. That should be something shouldn’t it?
Nite TiF stay safe.
Vman, it’s great that you honor your fur friends. But let’s face it, you do it because you love it.
Vmax is a good dog daddy. That is something.
Night TiF, Xbrad and Roamy…and all the rest that worry about me.
Thanks for caring
Heh. Mundane thinks I worry about him. That’s cute.
At least I am good for something Beasnsnsnssnss
G’night guys. All you TX peeps stay safe.
I am out as well. Good night all see you in 5 or 6
For Cyn!
Dennis edited recreational publications.
Good morning all!
Early morning case (hardware removal), a little paperwork and then FREEDOM … to start my lawn tractor and mow the damn lawn.
wakey wakey
I meant to sleep until 730. I blame Car in.
I also can’t have coffee today because I need to catch up on my sleep before Adventure Race.
I blame myself.
What can I say? The birds were really loud at my house this morning.
*sends birds out to wake up the rest of the hostages
So – remember all that stuff I wrote about crossfit last week?
Pretend I never said that as I say the following …
So, I’m going to check out the local crossfit place to see if it work for a group of my fellow waitresses to take a class together.
I just want to try something different, and thought it would be fun to torture my co-workers.
There are two gyms that do some sort of classes; crosstraining or bootcamps. I’m going to check them both out.
*shuns Car in the Cultist*
heh
don’t be so judgy.
I know the one crossfit place has some runners who do the classes, so perhaps it’s not as steeped in the cult.
Plus, it doesn’t have some “cool” bad-ass name, signaling to the “in” group that it’s THE place.
Mr Car in found a crossfit place in Detroit with one of those names. I can’t remember what it was called. Bad Ass Gym or something. LOL.
I know the one crossfit place has some runners who do the classes, so perhaps it’s not as steeped in the cult.
That’s how they get you.
Ann Arbor has “Hyperfit”.
Oh sure, no crossfit none of the time UNTIL you have to torture some co-workers. I see how you are.
Then again, I have some co-workers I’d like to torture. Hmmm….
Haha.
*imagines Car ins husband saying “yeah, I go to Bad Ass Gym” while waving gang signs.
Oh sure, no crossfit none of the time UNTIL you have to torture some co-workers. I see how you are.
Am I that transparent?
Hairy fish nuts.
LOL, J’ames. I was trying to explain to Mr Car in my anti-cross fit bias, but nothing illustrated it as well as disovering:
that my BIL belongs to such a gym and
seeing that “bad ass gym” place.
lol
FITTEST WAITRESSES IN THE WHOLE WORLD!
I’d go to a gym called “I ain’t doing that, I’m sitting over here”.
That’s how they get you.
Yep.
“Oh, there are some people there just like me, and they offered me a huge discount for the first six months…”
Before you know it you’re kipping pullups and peeing brown.
my BIL belongs to such a gym
That’s quite a visual. You have made your point, with aplomb.
*I sure hope I used that word right. I can’t take Hotspur’s criticism today.
Once again relevant: http://www.forgingelitesarcasm.com/
Good morning children.
You know Carin, they post the workouts on the Crossfit main site. There’s also another site that scales them for different ability levels.
J’ames you’re thinking of my half-brother. He does … something else. With swords. We’d better ask Leon about that.
No, my BIL is the one in Afghanastan right now. He’s 46, not married, and spends every waking moment (while not calling in air-strikes on towel-heads) massaging his image as a cool guy. He’s become more than a tad narcissistic as he’s aged.
Better in every way: http://zombiefit.org/
You know Carin, they post the workouts on the Crossfit main site. There’s also another site that scales them for different ability levels.
But there’s something motivating about trying something new.
*leave low-lying fruit for xbrad
Hi.
My name is MJ. Apparently I work like a 7 year old Thai kid at soccer ball factory.
Boo!
Kendo (“Sword Art”)? I knew people who trained in that, along with Iaijutsu (similar, but focused almost monomoniacly on quick-draw killing blows).
The equipment expense was too high a barrier for me to give a crap. Give me a martial art that teaches me to whoop ass with a softball bat.
But there’s something motivating about trying something new.
Wanna try powerlifting?
crosstit
I hope all of our Texans are okay.
CrossStitch is pretty popular. Fewer injuries.
Who’s this little MJ fella?
I think MJ stands for Moar Joos. He must be a joo.
“Oh, there are some people there just like me, and they offered me a huge discount for the first six months…”
“Hi, welcome to Happy Kitty Joy Fun Corssfit Club, not affiliated in any way with Murder Death Kill Crossfit Gym across town…”
“(well… maybe just a little affiliated…)”
Who’s this little MJ fella?
dunno, but apparently he’s 7 years old.
Looks a little puny for his age, doncha think?
Sorry the sweatshop labor is still kicking your ass, MJ.
Dayum.. that tornado (or tornados) in Granbury was a big un.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/16/us/texas-storm/index.html
That’s 100 miles from here. We had big storms and wind around 1:30 this morning, not as bad as last week.
Car in, I was thinking of your BIL who chases after the twenty somethings, not the guy I met on the deck one summer so long ago.
Oh. Ok. Just making sure J’ames.
Oh sure, MJ is 7. Yeah right, like I’m gonna believe that.
It appears I need one of those steering wheel laptop desks, so I can keep up with H2 while I’m commuting.
Remember back in the day when we met on Carin’s deck? Good times.
I think we should require that drive-by comments by long-lost hostages be a minimum of TWO comments.
I’m calling bullshit.
Remember back in the day when we met on Carin’s deck? Good times.
Yea, that was before the White Horse Inn closed down.
….a crossfit place in Detroit….
Who needs crossfit in Detroit? Isn’t dodging all the bullets/running from the people trying to rob you an intense enough workout?
Yea, that was before the White Horse Inn closed down.
It closed down? I liked that place.
I almost had pierogies at the White Horse Inn.
That closed down last year, didn’t it? I think Car in was carrying on about it, as is her wont.
I think Car in should put up a poat.
So wiser can stomp on it again.
I must have been not giving a fuck that week.
It closed down around Thanksgiving.
Obama’s booming economy.
You should buy it.
Where’s Cyn? Shouldn’t she be here, busy,
calling us all lazy whores for notputting up a new poat?I’m up, I’m up!
*shuffles off to the dashboard*
Poated!
