HHD

Roamy and her “thermostat”… prolly just needs fresh batteries again. Anyhoo, isn’t there just something kinda yummy about a man in a tie and coat? I think so too.

Happy Humping.

  1. Secret Santa – you go sign up now!

  2. Morning. Slept until 4. Bully for me!

  3. I think I signed up twice.

  4. You did.

    Nice try.

  5. Roamy – if you have one of those new fangled thermostats, seriously, check the battery.

  6. Slept in until 5:45am myself. Gawd I love the magic of modern chemistry.

  7. If there’s a battery, it’s well hidden.

    I totally forgot what day it is. Thank you for rescuing me, Cyn, nice job!

    Heh, the face of Obamacare is an immigrant and “applying for citizenship”.

  8. It’s pretty good, but I’m back to not sleeping well again. It’s just stress and will pass pretty soon, but I feel like I’ve aged 10 years in 2013.

  9. Yesterday’s spin class ended with the room at 82 degrees and 89% humidity.

    We were basically just breathing sweat.

  10. So, you electrocuted yourself, and set yourself on fire. Do they let you use power tools?

    Permission is for other people. I do what needs to be done.

  11. It got down to 21 last night.

  12. Having been electrocuted myself once, on a drilling rig, I can attest that I was high as a kite for four days afterwards.

    Do it yourself shock therapy..

    Eleventy!!

  13. I was checking that I had the right cord for my big outlet before attaching it to the dryer. Plugged it in and carelessly let the bare leads caress my left arm. I’d be dead if not for the circuit breaker.

  14. Wow, that’s kind of scary.

  15. I’m not even a rules lawyer.

    What the heck is a rules lawyer?

  16. What the heck is a rules lawyer?

    Someone who argues points of absolute minutia about system rules during what’s supposed to be a friendly game of X.

  17. Wow, that’s kind of scary.

    Indeed. Turn off breakers before you install large appliances, kids.

  18. This isn’t Vietnam. There are rules.

  20. Poor trigger discipline.

  21. Cyn put Henry Cavill in the HHD poat, this is why I love her.

  22. It was 24 degrees here this morning.

  23. Speaking of important rules interpretations, did we ever decide what percentage of the areola can show without violating the no-nipple rule?

  24. Once I got done with HHD, it was 1000 degrees in here this morning.

  25. 5%.

  26. I don’t think that was actually put to a vote.

  27. http://tinyurl.com/lx2xdxw

    Heh.

  28. You can’t trust breakers either.

    The breaker downstairs that was clearly marked HOT WATER HEATER isn’t connected to it at all.

    Good thing I am paranoid when it comes to electricity.

  43. I’m eating the best lunch/leftovers ever. Seared Ahi tuna, and spaghetti squash with onions and Kale in it.

    YUM.

  44. Sounds dericious.

  45. IT’S BUCKETS ALL THE WAY DOWN!

    /zen

  46. It does sound delicious.

    Leon, I asked a couple of questions at your site. Feel free to tell me to shove off.

  47. There’s a battery in the thermostat somewhere.

    Likely you have to pull the whole thing off the wall. It’s not usually to difficult to fix.

    Google or youtube your make/model of thermostat.

  48. too

  49. I hope she jiggled the handle.

  50. I hope she jiggled the handle.

    Jiggling the handle never works. It’s a lie perpetuated by Big Toilet.

  51. Isn’t someone going to say, “I saw Big Toilet open for Misfit Plungers in 1983”?

    Good, don’t.

  52. Answered you Mare. Least I can do for my only reader.

  53. Dentist time!

  54. Isn’t someone going to say, “I saw Big Toilet open for Misfit Plungers in 1983″?

    I would have been flushed with pride to have been there!

  55. Turkey trot on Thanskgiving? Yes or now?

    10K. In Detroit. I’m going to the Lions game, so I do not know about a shower afterwards … I could dress up for the run (many people do) and then just show up at the game and everyone will understand*.

    *to stand back.

  56. Now.

  57. If you cook it thoroughly you can avoid turkey trot.

  58. *no.

    I have a shirt for Hotspur.

  59. Grammar is a scam.

  60. Poo. I always mess up who and whom 😦

  61. “Grammar is a scam.”

    LOL in my long sleeve shirt and jeans because it’s cold here today.

  62. My graduate school professor told me that grammar is nothing but a construct of manners.

    He also used the word shibboleth a lot.

  63. LOL in my long sleeve shirt and jeans because it’s cold here today.

    Oh, do tell!

  64. If the GOP is smart, the “keep your insurance bill” will contain enough poison pills to effectively repeal O’care.

    1. If a fairly straight bill passes, it won’t achieve much because Ins cos have already canx’ed plans, and can’t really reinstate them. The GOP would get blamed.
    2. Dems own ALL the blame for O’care now. Don’t offer to share.
    3. Forcing Dems to vote against it, or Obama to veto it would help GOP.
    Z. Your mom.

  65. He also used the word shibboleth a lot.

    Did he pronounce it “SHibboleth” or “Sibboleth”?

    (Judges 12:1-15)

  66. 24 this morning, Carin.

    Don’t act uppity about cold weather.

  67. Don’t act uppity about cold weather.

    Oh NO she didn’t …

  68. Fucksize. Now there’s a word you can sink your teeth into.

  69. I thought the proper spelling was fukksize?

  70. *looks it up in the dictionary*

    Hey, guess what? It isn’t in here.

  71. How are we going to settle it?

    I know. Let’s wrassle.

  72. She’ll kick your ass, hotspot.

  73. A counteroffer.

    Let Car in and Mare oil wrestle to settle the question.

  74. I know the etymology of the word, so I don’t need to wrassel.

    Tushar was describing something, and his finger hit the “k” instead of the “l”.

    Thus … fukksize was born.

    *gets teary remembering that glorious day …

  75. Grammar is a scam.

    And loaded with trans-fats. It should be banned.

  76. Grammar *is* gluten free, though …

    just saying.

  77. wrassle

  78. fulksize?

  79. I just realized I’ve been hanging at this shit-hole dump for four and a half years.

    I’ve been hanging at Protein Wisdom …. crap … since 2002 or 03?

    criminey.

  80. Sssshhhhh, Jimbro, she is on a roll.

  81. OMGosh Read Frank’s new slogans for Obamacare:

    http://www.imao.us/index.php/2013/11/new-slogans-for-obamacare-aimed-at-americas-youth/

    My favorite:
    “Get coverage for everything except your daddy issues.”

  82. Yes, shouldn’t Tushar have been reaching for the “c”?

  83. He was trying to type fullsize.

    Don’t doubt me on this.

  84. He was trying to type “fullsize” Mare.

  85. Instead of double ll, he did a double kk.

    Thus, fukksize was born.

    That is why it isn’t FUCKSIZE.

  86. Mare and Jimbro are going to have to wrestle Hotspur for their little digs.

  87. And agile.

  88. That wasn’t a dig, I had no idea what Tushar was trying to say. Around here, “fucksize” seems more plausible than “full-size.”

  89. He had been talking about a soda or something.

    Greatest. Typo. Ever.

  90. I won’t wrestle Jimbro – he’s a doctor and probably knows the pressure points to pinch. mare, OTOH, …… Wait. mare, or marej?

  91. cause I don’t do midget wrestling

  92. >>>Mare and Jimbro are going to have to wrestle Hotspur for their little digs.

    Look Carin, I don’t care for your attitude. I’m just asking the questions that need to be asked! No way am I doing a triple team midget wrestling match to get my digs in.

    Who am I kidding, one of the reasons I come here is for the collegial atmosphere of abuse.

  93. Good afternoon Hostages.

    Apparently a fukksized idiot wrote the specifications for a project I’m looking at.

    They call for a “water based alkyd paint” on several substrates.

    Congrats genius, you just spec’d a water based oil paint.

  94. The water-based oil paint is easier to clean up, right?

  95. My favorite meal is the bacon-based vegetarian plate.

  96. Lmao. There actually is something called “water based acrylic alkyd”, but it’s an utter scam to anyone that understands what those words mean. If you look at the data sheets on that material, what you find is that it is a water based paint with “alkyd like properties”.

  97. You should patent that.

  98. Sounds like a cover-up to me.

  99. I thought there would be no building spec codes on this site.

  100. “Sounds like a cover-up to me.”

    That is such a crappy joke it’s funny.

    But, consider yourself warned.

  101. Yep HS, that’s it. It’s not an alkyd. It gives you “alkyd properties”.

    It’s a scam. Just like “low VOC” or “green” paint.

    Almost all interior latex paints have a low VOC level. You’re paying a ton more for a negligible difference. But hey, GREEN.

  102. Sounds like a cover-up to me.

    Big Paint.

  103. One doesn’t “jiggle the handle” on a thermostat, one taps it forcefully.

  104. Stolen from Facedouche

    Bad Joke of the Day…..

    Q: What’s the difference between a blonde and the Panama Canal?
    A: The Panama Canal is a busy ditch…….

  105. One doesn’t “jiggle the handle” on a thermostat, one taps it forcefully.

    And then walks into Mordor.

  106. One doesn’t “jiggle the handle” on a thermostat, one taps it forcefully.

    And then walks into Mordor.

    So you’re saying someone needs to forcefully tap Mordor’s backdoor thermostat?

  107. So you’re saying someone needs to forcefully tap Mordor’s backdoor thermostat?

    Ain’t no man going to take that route with me!

  108. If you like your water based alkyd, you can keep your water based alkyd.

  109. And I’d like the jumbo shrimp to go.

  110. *nudges with toe*

    Dear God…..he killed it!

  111. Alex, that stupid article sounds like it was written by a Gender Studies major – i couldn’t get past the third paragraph before I bailed.

  112. Is this real life?

  113. *leon after the dentist*

  114. Or is it a fantasy?

  115. Holy shit! If you ever ingest a dangerous substance and need to induce vomiting, just whip out this story and read it.

  116. That’s fantasy.

  117. Didn’t the guy accidentally fire the shotgun and this girl was on the other side?

    My understanding is that he had no idea who was on the porch, but he heard the doorbell.

  118. Where all the white women at?

  119. Target.

  120. Do any of you Northerners put that plastic stuff on your windows to stop drafts?

  121. Cool, cool. Maybe one of them could pick me up some Diet Dr Pepper? Oh, and a birfday card for my dad.

  122. I used to do it when I lived in a 1914 house with wood double hung windows. Now that I live in a house with insulated thermally broken windows, it wouldn’t do much.

  123. Thor was Sueee!!! I want to watch it again!

  124. We did when we lived in the 1904 farmhouse, Scott.
    It helped a lot.
    When we built this one, we put-in good windows and butt-loads of insulation.

  125. scott, I have used that in the past. It helps if your windows are older. The main problem I have with it is that the tape used can damage the finish on the window frames.

  126. Same here Scott. Once I had new windows installed about 8 years ago I stopped doing the plastic layer. I had a new layer of insulation added in the attic and that really helped too.

  127. Plastic?

  128. So I just read this: http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.2485 and thought that the author made a compelling case. What if the expanding universe/dark matter is a selection-based mistake? Could actually be, you know, really, really important.

  129. We used to use that when I was a kid, Scott, back when we had the original wood-frame windows. Helped a lot but it was annoying to put up.

  130. We still use it. There are two brands out there.

    – Frost King, found at Home Depot, is absolutely worthless.
    – 3M / Scotch, found at True Value, kicks ass.

  131. We borrowed the money for vinyl replacement windows, even pulled the permits, but Obama happened.

  132. New windows are next year’s project. We use the film on some windows. We also got some cellular blinds a few years ago, those really help. Our windows are 33 years old and need to be replaced. I’m not looking forward to it with enthusiasm.

  133. Our windows are 65 years old.

  134. Well, you learn something new every day

    http://www.theprepperjournal.com/2013/11/05/open-can-without-can-opener/

  135. Put them on Medicaid, Scott.

  136. I priced windows for my old house. 50K.

    Needed to be hurricane resistant. There have been more hurricanes in New York than tampa in the past 100 years.

  137. Required by law?

  138. Amy Alkon pointed out that 0bama has been called incompetent by Jimmy Carter and is currently being lectured on commitment by Bill Clinton.

  139. By code.

  140. Next, he’ll be called unfunny by Jimmy Kimmel.

  141. So nobody buys better windows.

  142. When Rachel Maddow calls him queer, that’s pretty much the end of it.

  143. Obama should take over homeowners insurance.

    If you like your windows you can keep your windows.

  144. So nobody buys better windows.

    My folks did before they sold the house I grew up in. Bought some Pellas while I was in college.

  145. So nobody buys better windows.

    That’s why you never hear about replacement window companies….

    Or did you not read people’s comments? 🙂

  146. 3M anything is good shit Scott. A bunch of the respirators and other gear that we use is 3M. Lasts forever.

  147. Nobody buys better windows when the code requires hurricane resistant ones that cost $50k.

  148. They buy new windows when the hurricane destroys the old ones and the (Federally-subsidized) insurance money comes.

  149. Code here in Taxachussetts doesn’t require hurricane resistant ones, just drive-by shooting resistant ones.

  150. Obama really needs to ease off on the racial stuff.

  151. In case there’s anything left in your tummy after reading Hotspur’s article:

  152. Oso
    I sat next to Sylvestre Reyes, our former congressman this morning at breakfast.
    He looked tanned and rested and I commented on it
    He told me that retirement was wonderful.
    I bet it is with his fucking huge pension..

  153. Grrrr…I remember that POS. We saw Manny Lujan at The Owl in San Antonio. We were on our way to the Inn of the Mountain Gods and so was he. He does it all the time. We got a special internet rate. Rino’s do pretty well too.

  154. Ah The Inn
    Began going there for years
    Even before all that Ski Apache shit..

  155. OMG. Huge local story about a bus driver who dropped a 10 year old off at the wrong stop. He was a mile away from home and had to walk!

    The kid was so frightened he isn’t sure he will be able to get back on the bus. Lawsuits are sure to come.

    A mile.

  157. A bus ride to school.

    Luxury.

  158. Afternoon.

  159. I think I added capers to my chicken too early in the sautéing. They lost their tang.

    As simple as sautéing chicken in butter and garlic is, apparently it’s beyond my doing well.

    Damn it.

    Believe it or not, I didn’t have white wine to add. Might have helped.

  160. Bingo, Jimbro.

    I walked at least a mile and a half each way for 8 years.

  161. Today I built three (3) of these:

    http://tinyurl.com/bm49fw2

  162. My k-6 commute was 1 mile. I didn’t even get rides when it rained.

  163. My junior high and high school were literally across the street from my house, so I expect no sympathy there.

  164. The clusterfuck known as Obamacare was the lead story on CBS evening news. Not only did they report on it, they were mostly factual.

    Obama is going under the bus.

  165. Wasn’t the battery, if there is one. One of the five burners was clogged, and it tripped something. Yay for having the extended warranty! It’s temporarily fixed; there’s some part that needs replacing. For now, it’s warm in here, which is good because there’s a hard freeze tonight.

  166. The bus is a scam.

  167. I got a new truck battery. Yay me!

  168. We had to live at least 2 miles from school to ride the bus. Always rode. Missing the bus sucked. In TX, my bus was driven by the organic chem teacher, and our route covered 2 elementary schools, a middle school and my HS.

  169. We had the 2 mile rule too.

  170. In ABQ, they have buses running all morning and the schools are practically in the neighborhoods.

  171. I got bussed for desegregation.

  172. If you like your bus stop, you can keep your bus stop. Period.

    I can’t believe one of you motherfuckers didn’t beat me to the punch.

  173. Cyn’s “workspace”

  174. Roamy, I did in VA. School was across the highway, but we couldn’t go there. I remember my 2nd Grade teacher explaining integration, segregation, and desegregation to us.

  175. What is a hard freeze?

  176. I rode the bus to school, which was good, but my fucking bus stop was a mile walk from my house.

  177. Scott, I think it was last year that a kid fell asleep on the bus and was returned to the bus lot. Amber Alert blah blah

  178. Hotspur, I thought you went to parochial schools. Surely the state wasn’t forced to bus you papist bastards were they?

  179. Sometimes I ask my daughter why she’s turning my grandson into a pussy.

  180. Hotspur, cold enough that pipes may freeze, plants die, and animals need shelter. Here they mean 20 or colder for several hours.

  181. PG, our school had its own buses. Fuck them pagan public school bastards. We didn’t need them.

  182. We moved to get out of the shitty school district and into the best school district only to get caught up in desegregation, so I was sent to the only slightly shitty school with people who hated me for being white and didn’t want me there.

  183. So, an elementary school was on lock down today after a bear sighting. Bear was hit on I-40 at Tijeras last night. Bus stops down by Pepe are wolf resistant cages. A kid in CT had to walk a mile.

  184. Usually they mean cold enough, and for long enough, to kill seasonal stuff.

  185. A hard freeze is when your banana trees suddenly turn brown.

  186. Hard Freeze

  187. I’ve actually seen Cyn’s workspace.

    She’s redecorated, I guess.

  188. Well! Driving from Dallas back home on I-35 is a bit more exciting than it used to be.

    But I’m home. And no one was shootin at me. At least, nobody that can shoot worth a shit.

  189. Roamy, we were bused to the formerly black school. Middle Class professional black neighborhood. Kids had parents that were Drs, lawyers, and professional football players. Black kids called the non-Navy kids “White Trash”. It was surreal.

  190. Did anybody hatch a plan to break up anybody else’s marriage today?

  191. OMG Y’all!!!! Wind advisory’s tomorrow and Friday. Breezy conditions tonight.

  192. The bus that usually stops in my neighborhood didn’t stop this morning because of the stench of unwashed vagina. All the poor chillens had to walk a couple of blocks because of that one kid’s mama’s pussy. A damned shame is what it was.

  193. Unwashed vagina. Is there anything it can’t undo?

  194. Unwashed vagina. Is there anything it can’t undo?

  197. Eat at the Y.

  199. Did you get the penicillin aperitif?

  200. The tuna casserole with the ants in it was memorable.

  201. Best to go with whatever Magic is taking…

  202. Penicillin is a scam.

  203. I saw Penicillin open for Syphilis at Wrangler’s on Amarillo Boulivard in ’81.

    Sorry, mare. Ya whore.

  204. PG
    I’m sure you’ll blow more money and travel to Dallas next month to go to the Syphilis concert

  205. They’re better than the Eagles because the Eagles only caught the clap.

  206. Willie Nelson on Saturday night at the new Opera House in Odessa (I wish I was shitting you) is all I got on the calendar, concert wise.

  207. PG
    Have fun
    Just went to Odessa last month.
    Got into the first traffic jam in Odessa I ever got into. Ever. In over 40 years.

  208. 42nd and Grandview and east is unbelievable.

  209. That’s right where it was. Backed up past UTPB.

  210. I love Willie Nelson. My favorite pot-smoking hippie peace-nik.

  211. I’m 53 and this will be my first Willie.

  212. $316.00 for a new storm door! Didn’t even look at a porch light!

    UGHHH!

  213. I saw him in Dripping Springs in 1972 when he had short hair and I was a kid,

  214. You can do it, we can help.

  215. I’ve seen Willie Nelson four or five times.

    But I’ll never smoke weed with Willie again.

  216. He ate all your Funyons, didn’t he Dave?

    That was one of the trailers I went through at the HQ last night. No way I can make it through. Somebody suggested buying a ticket, to support the movie, even if you’re not going.

    Said she emailed the HQ gmail account hours ago. No dice. I pinged Andy on twitter about it this morning.

  243. Home again. Jiggity jig. Somebody cocktail and debrief me. TYIA.

    I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE

  244. *weakly puts a bird pin on Brent’s lapel*

    Nine hour day, $10K settlement at the first sit-down. Not too shabby.

  245. I quote Scrooged! all the time. Cyn, cocktails tonight are birthday Mai Tai’s. I haven’t scrolled all the comments yet.

  246. Good for you Cyn

  247. Whoot! Whoot! 10K! Cyn’s buying at the Tilted Kilt!

  248. If I can sell it to the insurance company, yeah: I’m buying.

    Mmmmmmmmai tai’ssssss

  249. I think 10k is a payout you homos but still a good nine hour day’s work.

  250. Yep, that’s the payout that the claimants want. It behooves the insurance company to get out from under this one so it doesn’t go sideways.

    I have another that was not handled very well from the start and it will cost $50K, but probably a full $100K.

    I seem to be The Fixer lately.

  251. Yea, Cyn!
    You go girl!

    And I volunteer for the “Debrief”, platonically, of course…

  252. Oh and FTR, no one takes responsibility any more. No one.

    Job security I guess, but a damn sad state of affairs really.

  253. Of course.

  254. Dinner at the clubhouse was ok, but the requirement to wear pants was oppressive.

    There WAS a lady of about 30 in the bar, who was wearing a skirt that was so short it damn near qualified as a belt. I tried to get a pic, but I didn’t want to be *too* obvious.

  255. Since when do you care about “obvious”? Go for the gusto.

  256. **snaps a pic through Cyn’s window**

    Good advice, Cyn! Thanks!

  257. DAMMIT!!

    I think you caught me picking my nose.

    Try again – I”m ready now!

  258. That whole not taking responsibility dealio is huge for people like my brother. Slimy lawyer.

  259. The Fixer is the most depressing story I ever read.

    Let’s call you “the hotsness”

    Now I’m not depressed.

    School nite.. after a road trip. Night boogs.

  260. Road trips do suck it out of you, don’t it; mine was down south of Tucson and back. That place is a dump.

    Nighty dreams, Dave.

  261. Unless you were digging a booger outta your butt, I don’t think it was in the frame.

  262. HA!

    No.

  263. The kid in me says, “Aww hells yeah!!”

    The mom in me says, “Knock that shit off RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!”

  264. The ‘short skirt’ thing reminds me of Joan Rivers, some time ago(okay, I’m old), where she remarked to someone(Jay Leno, Johnny Carson?), that she could never wear the new “Short Skirts”, as her nipples would show…

  265. I leave you wit one moar H2 worthy funny then off to stretch out the bod in a horizontal position:

  266. Good night Dave!

    I watched the Green Lantern against my better judgement.

    Granted, it’s a tough one to turn into a franchise, but damn!

  267. she could never wear the new “Short Skirts”, as her nipples would show…

    Ha Ha Ha!

    I have no idea what she’s talking about.

    Nighty sweet dreams cool kids. Yes, Xbrad too.

  268. blerg

  269. I kinda liked Tucson…

    dies

  270. Also, wife leaves for a girls weekend in Chicago tomorrow.

    It’s daddy-daughter weekend here at chez Phat.

    Should be fun and will definitely be boyfriend free. *sound of shotgun being loaded*

  271. 32 cases of Whooping Cough in ABQ. Friend lost her baby last year to the first Whooping Cough Fatality in years. Baby fell between the inoculation schedule. Thanks Sanctuary fucknut Mayors. Thanks DoJ. Thanks TFG.

  272. Tucson sucks! Hi, Phat. You and Phat-daughters should go watch Thor.

  273. Sister of one of my co-workers (and best friend of the bartender) is fostering. They fostered one kid and now they’ve got her sister. Bartender is SO EXCITED about the kids – already in love with the boy – Juan, and now they’re getting Juan’s sister.

    The mom has 9 kids, all of them were malnourished, a few of them had parasitic worms, 16 m/o is in the hospital. Mom is pregnant again.

    Seriously, what is the PROBLEM with people?

  274. Fostering can be rewarding and depressing. My Mom fostered for years. Beat the shit out of me, her fosters still love her. YMMV.

  275. Oso,

    Will tough this weekend. Youngest leaves on a weekend church retreat on Friday and the eldest is a stagehand in the HS play this weekend. They have shows Thurs, Fri and Sat nights.

    Plus, Edwardsville HS is hosting a state quarter final football game on saturday afternoon, so the whole damn town will be there.

  276. One of the managers at Sam’s was a Foster. Tried to adopt. NM played him for years. He got a promotion opportunity outside of NM. NM/Bios wouldn’t let him move. Broke his heart, but they moved to FL. Had to surrender the kids.

  277. The “moms” (gay couple) don’t have any kids, so hopefully there won’t be any of those issues.

    I don’t actually know the moms, but I know one of the mom’s sister, and our (gay) bartender is BF with on of the women. He was going on and on about the kids. He’s SO excited.

  278. Against my better judgement I did commit to speak at the ROTC dinner.

    No idea what I will say.

    Scott’s advice to “just drink a lot and wing it” is really making sense to me now.

  279. Yea, the mom – I dunno. the kids were taken away for school truancy (none were attending school) and then they discovered the non-feeding thing that was occurring.

  280. Phat, will you be chauffeur or audience?

  281. Drink it and wing it is good advice for the ROTC

  282. Phat, you’re going to need a few jokes to break the ice. I think xbrad is the go-to guy for that.

  283. I had to write up an ‘official’ bio for them to put in the dinner program.

    My oldest read it and said, “Dang Dad, you sound like a bad ass!”

    *tear

  284. Car In,

    I told a lot of my stories to xbrad and Tushar at the DFW meat up!

    I think I will start with a brief bio hit two serious topics: current AF ops and Leadership, and then close with the Russian Monkey story.

  285. You should *consider* ending with compos’s story.

    Just a suggestion.

  286. That would bring the house down.

  287. I will write up the Russian Monkey story this weekend for Xbrads blog, just so I get the flow of it right. Also got to figure out how to get a cyrillic font to work.

    Oh well, I am temp retired. Got time to work on it.

  288. We ALL have a version of the ‘compos story’. Mine involves a clandestine pitstop between two dumpsters at mile 1 of a 2 mile jog.

  289. Ok, I’m tired. I went to crackfat this morning, then since that was enough ran 5 miles. Then brought people food for 6 hours.

    It’s time to close my eyes.

    See you guys in a few hours.

  290. not enough.

    Phat, *I* do not have a compos story. I once did have to make a dash into the woods when I had some sort of stomach virus, but no shirts were ruined, I didn’t finish my run wearing pink shorts, three sizes to small.

    No. There is only ONE compos story.

  291. Car in,

    You are correct!

    At least I was able to make it back to the hotel shame free.

    That will always be in Ace’s top 5 for me.

  292. There can be only one!!! Love you guys! Group hug!

  293. off to bed kids. see you tomorrow!

  294. Phat, you’re going to need a few jokes to break the ice. I think xbrad is the go-to guy for that.

    Why you hatin’ on Phat like that?

  295. heh

  296. Zeke pics or GTFO.

  297. xbad I have a new 24 megapixel camera and I have taken 3 pics with it.
    2 were of Zeke.
    Give me a min or so and I will link my flicker page for full sized goodness

  298. If anyone is bored and can’t sleep, google Evelyn Miranda. Still waiting for a trial.

  299. I don’t understand the logic in my dreams
    But I understand I like the sounds of sireens
    Terrified screams from the streams of Strychnine
    Dumpin’ on any motherfucker tryin’ to derp mine

  300. Hey, Car in, Lapeer made the news…

    http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/11/detroit-reporter-dropped-one-heck-f-bomb-live-tv-morning/

  301. Rain in Oceania.

  302. For Leon:

  303. wakey wakey

    The fire was arson. boyfriend /girlfriend fight, one of ’em set the place ablaze.

  304. It’s ok, we’re friends. You can tell us why you burned down all of those houses.

  305. Kids getting on your nerves?

    Bad tipper?

    Chicken guilt?

  306. Turkey trots?

  307. Part of the Crossfit initiation rites?

  308. For Leon:

    Dat’s why I got a Massurs in applied math.

  309. I haven’t even been by to look at the damage. The apartments were over local businesses, and just recently renovated.

    You know the way to get back at a significant other after you’ve had a fight? Light the place up.

    While you sit in jail, you’ll know you *really* won that argument.

  310. My arms are sore from my crossfat initiation yesterday. Deadlifts, then some sumo lift.

    I didn’t know if I was going to make it at work last night, my arms hurt then.

  311. Good morning all!

    Slow news day.

  312. Gooo’morning

  313. Deadlifts, then some sumo lift

    Sumodeadlifthighpull? I do those with hay bales.

  314. Also, what fire are we talking about? Did Car in’s house burn down?

  315. My arms are sore from my crossfat initiation yesterday. Deadlifts, then some sumo lift.
    ——————————
    50 gallon drums of kerosine have to weigh at least 100 pounds. I’m surprised you could carry them to downtown Lapeer.

  316. POATED

  317. Carin: “My arms are sore from my crossfat initiation yesterday. Deadlifts, then some sumo lift. I didn’t know if I was going to make it at work last night, my arms hurt then.”

    CB: “Then quit doing that shit.”
