Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. You know how in Rose is Rose, Rose has a motorcycle chick for an alter ego? Today’s get-up-and-get-moving song is NSFW, but I like it because my alter ego cranks this one up to 11 and sings along.
Onto teh beefcake.
I found a couple new pics of Kellan Lutz so that Carin can have a redhead. (Saving one for next week)
I like a man who’s handy around the house.
Black and white artsy one.
This guy was in Transformers, I’m told.
And last but not least.
That’ll do it for me. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I’ll leave this here for you all to discuss:
A prision by any other name
It’s a lot like crackfat.
When you say “prison”, I think “cubefarm” rather than school.
School was a prison for me. Unlearning a lot of it has taken longer than I was in it.
Morning, children.
Nice musical selection. Try “Freak Like Me” too.
We only accept cube farms because of school.
An office is at least something like a cell — in the monastic sense of the word, not as a prison.
Exceptional!!
Well done, Roamy.
International political maneuverings are complicated BUT really? Really?:

I hated school.
Leon, I guess I had better schools. Second grade was bad because I was bored, and third grade was awkward because of desegregation, but I never thought of it as prison.
I am lucky to have my own office that I don’t have to share with anyone, with real walls and a door I can shut. This is becoming increasingly rare as LEEDS and other trendy crap is taking over.
Cubes give you your own space in the office, too. Not just for sectioning off.
BUNK!!11!

Cyn, check your email please.
Cocks or G-string?
It’s old, scott
All I ever get is work emails.
No reply all fests, or anything fun.
Cubes discriminate against the short. Tall people can stand and see over them, I cannot.
No one can see that you’re in there, either.
I’m way back in the corner, just fine by me!
I hate our politicians. Loath. Despise. Politicians all turn into self serving pricks. I think George Washington was the last true holder of office who could graciously let go of power and position.
Checked.
*thuds*
I considered adding a roof to mine when I had one. And a door.
I don’t think Reagan held on very long, either.
There’s some good ones out there, mare.
you could put a piece of cardboard over the top! And a Keep Out! sign.
Here’s one, mare!

I never worked in a cubicle.
That is probably due to my jeans rule. No jeans? No work.
Mare
I agree
The Senate is a cistern
The only Senator I trust is Jim Inhofe
Jay, as much as I love Reagan and am grateful he was our President. He was a politician a VERY long time. And made some dumbass mistakes.
You no likey Cruz, TJ?
So did George, mare. They are only human.
I stopped wearing jeans for anything but yard work. Not enough pockets.
I could wear them here and no one would blink, but it’s Michigan. Jeans at the office isn’t weird here.
McConnell might actually have a challenger?
http://www.redstate.com/2014/01/14/this-really-isnt-great-news-for-mitch-mcconnell/
Jeans are frowned upon here. And the managers wear ties on casual day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey_Rebellion
On Washington’s watch. Set us up for federal control of alcohol and the precedent for government control of any and all substances thereafter.
Of course I like Cruz
Me bad
Inhofe is the only one fighting the Global Warming bullshit
We only wear ties if there’s a customer present. This includes the division vice president.
I wear jeans to work 99% of the time. I have no wish to move into management, and I like working in the lab.
Jay, check your email!
And with that, I’m off to work, in jeans and a comfy shirt.
I love Cruz, but I’ve been dicked by politicians before. Time will tell. If he keeps putting a burr under the GOP at least he’s not just going along to get along like all the other butt lickers.
That’s why I love the oilfield
No suits no ties
Every day is casual day
“So did George, mare. They are only human.”
You should start a suicide hotline.

He’s pretty weak on Amnesty
But on many other things he’s very good
I’d just be happy to have politicians that actually love America, its borders, the English language and the people.
Was it CentOS that Wiserbud is using now?
I may have to grab it for a work thing.
wakey wakey
Saw an article recently suggesting that the net flow across the border with Messico pretty much halted in 2007. Given that, I’m okay with an amnesty in the year 2032, assuming no one else comes, and English becomes the official language in 2017.
PuppyLinux, leon.
I don’t know that one.
Holy crap this is the “art work” of Carroll Dunham, Lena Dunham’s father. It’s all starting to make sense:
http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=carroll+dunham&qpvt=carroll+dunham&FORM=IGRE
Does anyone know for sure if that’s her father, I wiki’d it but who knows?
If it’s a bunch of paintings of fat chicks, it’s him. I can’t (and don’t want to) look.
Imma gonna try puppy on the old laptop at home. I can’t get Ubuntu to install, so maybe this will work.
LEED is a scam.
It’s all starting to make sense:
I’m sensing a theme.
No Carroll Dunham gifs!
It’s much worse than just fat chicks. He is a latent homosexual with anal fetishes.
You should spend some time inside ad agencies. Everyone dresses like a fucking Starbucks barista, but less put-together.

YUCK, Mare. WTF did you link that?
Ga. I cannot unsee. That is horrible.
Can you imagine having one of those monstrosities on your living room wall?
Ga. No wonder his daughter is how she is.
Ermay? Aremay. Orrysay orfay hetay ypotay.
I failed pig latin, George. I have passable (reading) french, if you can switch to that.
Oily Jeebus on a linen canvas. Those Dunham paintings… it’s Keith Haring meets Hustler magazine.
Aremay.
Ah.
That makes sense now.
I kinda enjoyed Keith Haring’s stuff. That looked cool on the wall. So this dude is a copy cat.
But aren’t many modern artists?
it’s Keith Haring meets Hustler magazine.
And an insult to both.
Someone should take Mare behind the woodshed and beat her with prejudice for linking that stuff.
At the next meetup, mare.
How about pig French? There’s actually a game in French called verlan, where you pronounce most things backwards.
It’s just the modern Left. They can’t even do a good job of making perverted art.
Which reminds me of bullwhips…

We should ban her.

He can have my old one of those. It runs too slow now – I loaded CPM/86 on it.
Actually, I really did have one of those when I was young.
It’s ok when MJ does it. We expect more from Mare.
I think Carroll Dunham is the perfect choice for painting Obama’s official portrait.
that is an inspired idea, George. Let’s make this happen!
Fortunately I read from the bottom up and got the reaction and description of Mare’s link before encountering it.
Actually, I really did have one of those when I was young.
I think my brother had one too. Took forever to load a Katy Perry video.
Actually, how do we know that some of Carroll Dunham’s paintings are not already of Obama?
I think Carroll Dunham is the perfect choice for painting Obama’s official portrait.
Those weren’t?
We expect more from Mare.
who’s “we?”
Painting a portrait of L. L. Duce would be so easy. Just two big Mickey Mouse ears on either side of a circle, and a cartoon anus in the center.
We need Revy to do one for us.
And in the “I didn’t know they were still around” category, we have this:
She’s back!
I really liked the Fleetwood Mac concert I went to. And Christine McVie wrote their biggest songs.
We should ban her, though. She wrote “Don’t Stop”, and I can’t stand that song anymore.
Thanks Slick Willy!
My judgement might be off, though. I like Pink Floyd too. Roger Waters puts on a great show.
Waters is a fucking Israel-hating prick
I gotta say, 0bama has made me appreciate the hell out of Slick Willy.
I’m still waiting for Hall to get back together with Oates. I gave up on the Captain and Tenille.
We’re likely to get a double shot of Slick Willy in 2016. Remember Bill ‘s admonition in 1992 that electing him was a twofer because you get Hillary! to boot? We’ll get the same deal in two years! So exciting!!
Waters is a fucking Israel-hating prick
True, which is why I will never buy another Pink Floyd disc again – I refuse to put any money in that asshole’s pocket.
Hillary isn’t Bill. I don’t think anyone in the right mind is the least bit nostalgic for Hillary.
I don’t think anyone in the right mind
Perhaps you haven’t met. Leon, this is Low Information Voter. LIV, meet Leon.
I said “right mind”. I contend that this is sufficient caveat.
I also suspect the other factions of the party watched her lose last time and won’t step back from Mrs. Not-very-inevitable next time.
I used to think Cankles was such an incompetent campaigner and so pathetically clinging to Bill’s coat tails that her electoral career was done after 2008. Yet we haven’t seen any highly visible Demotards trolling for the 2016 nomination. If anyone is going to take down Cankles he has to start soon, this year.
It still boggles my mind that Cankles’s remark about Benghazi, “at this point, what difference does it make?” did not finish her career permanently.
George, that wasn’t reported to the general public.
Soviets were good with disappearing things. Down the memory hole. People and news. If it isn’t reported, it didn’t happen.

OBAMA WAS RIGHT!

way cool on the gas article, leon!
Abandoned in the 80’s? Isn’t that when the Saudis flooded the market with cheap oil, to prevent the viability of coal gasification and other methods in that era? I recall a lot of research was abandoned at that time because oil got so cheap quickly.
We didn’t have computational chemistry in the 80’s, either. That’s why the approach is worthwhile: try everything that can be built at all, come up with a theory to support it after you’ve got a product that works.
I’ve got some gas to spare.
In the 80’s, you’d have to develop the theoretical chemistry of a good candidate, then synthesize the compound, then test it, then guess at what could have been done differently.
My wife insists garlic is related to natural gas production, usually next day.

Chrispy, a decent viola should start at about $600. Couple of brands to look for are Mathia-Thoma or Aubert.

Idiot lib just asked if he could be my Alan Colmes.
I said “sure, you’re about as intelligent as he is.”
He may have taken that as a compliment.
Colmes thought he had a future without Hannity.
Hannity spent years being held back by the presence of Colmes.
I had to listen to Colmes at the station last night, waiting for the basketball to start.
Some guy called in to argue with him about Obama’s ineptitude as President.
Colms just kept talking over him, repeatedly saying “Who’s died because of Obama’s policies? Who? No one!”
Ummmmm, Benghazi? More soldiers killed in Afghanistan under Obama than Bush?
All bogus, according to the sooper-jenius Alan Colmes.
>>>Hannity spent years being held back by the presence of Colmes.
Heh. Even idiot lib said “he has a radio show?”
Funniest thing is that Hannity isn’t exactly a rocket surgeon himself, but easily bested Colmes constantly.
At least Hannity had facts. Colmes just had BS talking points and a stupid smirk.
My wife insists garlic is related to natural gas production, usually next day.
There is a fairly big garlic festival in Greenfield MA each year in October. Their slogan? The festival that stinks!
Colmes said that he doesn’t understand why people call him Skeletor.
“Must be because I’m so skinny…”
Yeah, smart-guy. That’s why.

I liked it when one of the commenters said that she should read her review to Marcus Luttrell, in person. Maybe that was Beck suggesting it.
I agree. If you write it, you should be able to read it to the audience, or the target of your piece.
Yep, it was Beck:

Meh. Glenn Beck and Amy Nicholson are attention whores feeding each others needs.
I skimmed the article and got the sense it was not only a criticism of the movie but more of a takedown of the soldiers and any audience members who appreciated their sacrifice. Even the best intentioned movie can be a flop for technical reasons or poor writing. If it is just say so. Attacking people we should hold in esteem is no way to go through life. Or I could have missed the whole point of the controversy.
Sasol, from South Africa, went into business converting coal to oil and natural gas due to the boycott on South Africa during apartheid
One of my Petroleum Engineering profs at UT/Austin had been the head of Sasol.
Their original formulations came from refugee Nazi scientists, he told me.
They had been the world leaders in Coal/Oil/Gas conversion in the 30’s

Haber and Bosch were German scientists (see Haber-Bosch process). Part of the reason Germany lost was that they ran out of fuel for the tanks, but still had coal. They were pushing hard to turn coal into transpo fuel for the Reich. Never bet against German chemistry, but they didn’t figure it out in time/scale it up well enough to alter the outcome of the war.
At least, that’s how I heard the tale at the time. I’m sure it’s been tidied up a bit.
Since her takeaway from the movie was that the primary motivating factor of the four Navy Seals was “Brown people bad, American people good.”, it proves she’s an ignorant scrunt.
If she doesn’t at least believe the latter half of that, I encourage her to depart with all possible haste.

I’m almost done reading ‘House to House,’ xbrad. Have you read it?
MJ, yeah, Bellavia’s book was good. I’ve gotten where I struggle to read books like that.
Combined Federal Campaign is falling short of their goal at work. Same as last year, except they leaned on a bunch of people and got last-minute donations. I don’t think it’s working this year. I should be sorry that some charities aren’t going to get as much money, but I’m secretly glad whoever is skimming off the top isn’t either. I donate a minimal amount so they can get their participation percentage, otherwise I donate directly to the charity.
I’ve never read anything like it.
I just caught 90 seconds of Al Sharpton’s show.

Consider for a moment that — in at least one neighborhood — Al Sharpton was the smartest person around.
What?
Huntsville is one of my territories, apparently. I doubt I’ll ever be there, but still. I guess we service that area out of Nashville or Chattanooga.

Maybe we could take up a collection and have Al Sharpton read us a dictionary. It would be hilarious.
I highly recommend the book. I really have no idea what my reaction is yet, other than I can’t decide on a reaction.
G land? Well, his best friend is (was?) in some boy band.
Or maybe he was (is?) I can’t remember.

TJ, I could have been on Classical Scholarship at UT. I was too paranoid about Whitman. My sponsor was ready to punch me. I kept pointing out Whitman spots on campus. See also multiple schools that couldn’t believe a Mexican could get a 1380 on their SAT and a cumulative 26 on their ACT.
Too bad
They had a great classics departments
Back in the early 70s it was ranked number four, right behind Princeton
By that time, after suicides and Whitman, they had closed the observation deck of the Tower

He just told me that the HQ was “Too” political. I knew that. PMing is my friend.
Oh crap. I have bridges to mend. BRB
ENM Medical center was so afraid of my Dad, and their BS mis diagnoses, that other family was a bunch of cupcakes. there is a reason that the shooting victims ended up in CT
Owns alien comments

I was on a 6 wk roll
That far-away derp, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won’t settle down, won’t settle for less
As long as there’s a chance that I can have it all
Ha – just got home post derpity-derp.
er, that’s all, I got nothing.
Uh oh, I’m the first one up. Looks like a lazy H2 day.
Good morning all!
Slow work day today.
i’ve been up since 6, but I was having issues commenting.
Paula was up at 5 getting ready to take her NCLEX (nursing boards). She has been a stress basket for the past few weeks and I elected to make the morning all about her. I must’ve said “You’re gonna do great!” 30 times this morning. A lot of her anxiety is self created since she has a nursing job lined up in the same department where she works as a tech. She’s seen other grads fail the boards and heard all the gossipy chatter that ensues. This coming from the woman with an A average who finished 2nd in her class. Sigh….
Scott, I’ve never seen tetanus.
Usually when a kid steps on a rusty nail they get a Staph infection or Pseudomonas. The nail punctures the shoe and inoculates the foot with whatever the wet dirty sneaker is colonized with (THE NAIL IS INNOCENT!). Sometimes a piece of the insole gets jabbed up under the skin and the bacteria find it a suitable place to set up a family. It’s called “Sneaker Foot”.
Huh, surprised I hadn’t heard about this story:

Morning, children.
Hey Jimbro, do you know what “cancer numbers” are? As in results from the doctor?
No, not really in those terms. Thankfully most of the tumors I see are benign and I primarily provide reassurance upfront or after a biopsy.
Do you mean numbers related to a specific test or rates of incidence or 5 year survival?
My MIL got numbers back from the nurse, after going through a round of chemo. I asked what the numbers were for, but no one will answer me (wife or MIL). I was just wondering if you knew, off the top of your head.
Hmm, just got an answer (kinda):
They went from 530 down to 167. I am assuming that’s good.
Nope. Hematology/Oncology, kids or adults, is pretty specialized and I wouldn’t even hazard a guess.
Alright, you talked me into it, I’ll take a guess: Maybe her complete blood count numbers? The ANC (absolute neutrophil count) is a big deal in terms of the ability to fight off infections. It can be lowered after chemo and if it’s too low everyone needs to keep away to decrease the risk of infection. Gloves/robes/masks are used if needed.
I’ll just go back and edit the second half of my comment now….
Thanks Jimbro. I appreciate it!
Good morning cool kids.
I have done that research a few times, Jay. Each of the numbers has their own special purpose, but if the nurses were “amazed” then that’s a good sign.
There’s a few good web sites that aren’t hinkey that can help to explain some of them. Hugs!
Does MJ know about this?: http://youtu.be/wXfLrt90CHM
Good morning. This is a very old poat now. Someone who isn’t at their office might consider doing something about that.
Where the hell is BeCock?
Every type of cancer has its own “cancer numbers”
I’m working on it. The post.
New post.
Better the post than the pole.
