Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day and round 2 of who we’re cheering for in Sochi.
Today’s song is one of my memories from the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. (sings along)
Sage Kotsenburg won gold in snowboard slopestyle.
Next we have bobsledder Steve Langston.
Ted Ligety in his third Olympics
Speed skater Trevor Marsicano
We gotta have someone in curling. How about Jared Zezel.
And last, but not least, speed skater Brian Hansen.
That will do for this week. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Very nice, roamy!
Who’s your favorite in curling? Those Canadians have quite the stones, don’t they?
Maybe this will wake everyone up. Once the girls are all done in the bathroom maybe this place will perk up.
Morning, children.
After my very recent illness it’s still touch and go—as in “Never trust a fart”.
I share your suspicion, Jimbro. Treacherous farts seem to conspire with lung spasms and sneezes, too, to unleash an unholy cataclysm of befoulment.

I remain very irritated at the proposed EPA rules governing wood stoves. My opinions test my new-found commitment to profanity-free expression of disagreement.
They predicted 2 to 5 inches of snow and sleet overnight. We got bupkus. They are still threatening us with “wintry mix”. Mr. RFH just went to work.

Just like Lenin. What is it with commies and their desire to dictate where people live?
/rhetorical, I know the answer
People of the left don’t believe that people with differing views are human and would prefer that they die.
History is full of examples.
1) tyrants/dictators don’t care about the little people. They are merely in their way and
2) They KNOW better. You shouldn’t live out there, unless you’re really, really rich (the elite). We really should save the wilderness for the animals and the elite. SO they can properly enjoy them w/o overcrowding.

Too many images in comments. Links, man!
We are moving our office. We have about 12 years in this building, and about 150 boxes of paper for the shredder, who is coming today with his ginnormous mobile shredding truck. I wanted to rent a industrial wood chipper but I was shot down.
I’m packing up my desk and deciding what to keep what to shred and honest to Dog I swear I really need about 10-15 documents out of a fucking shit-ton of stuff.
The other problem with porn is it gives you the impression the plumber does not charge.
Or that he can be paid in things other than greenbacks.
The plumber observation reminds me of those creepy liquid plumber commercials with the beefcakes who show up at the swooning lady’s door and want 7 minutes to lay pipe or haul her ashes or some crap. Those commercials are naz.
I discovered the same thing when I was hunting for my SSC, Pupster.

Speed skaters have awesome drumsticks.
What do you call it when a nation chooses to elect a dictator? I have been trying to decide what word to use, if not dictator. Because our current dictator will leave in early 2017, to be replaced by our first lesbian dictator. So they’re not dictators for life; if you go back to the meaning of the word in Roman times, dictators did not necessarily serve for lifetime. So when a democracy decides to elect a person who ignores law at will, what do we call it?
Most people these days would rolled her eyes and dismissed the notion that Black Nixon is ruling lawlessly, that he ignores the law at will on selected occasions. What’s the big deal, they would say. He’s just using his authority a little more than everyone else.
Awesome poaty today, Roamy. It’s a thankless job but I am glad that you’re suffering through it.

I look around the offices of some of the people I work for and they have binders from the 80s. The only thing they are good for is to look up my dad and his friends in the newsletters and laugh.
We have pictures of the first computer, the installation of the AS 400 software, etc.
They’re hilarious, although the old man’s mustache could have given Tom Selleck a run for his money.

Some did. It’s just that their tenures were cut short by maladies like assassination.

There you go, reminding me that the Romans had much to admire.
We make a mistake when we think the project of the left culminates in a personal ambition to be a ruler for life. There is far too much power available outside of the highest office to make such an ambition worthwhile. I think the project aims to reduce the republic to a situation where the people still have elections, but there is essentially one party and that party has the intention of ruling with absolute power free from the shackles of any strict legality. Eliminating elections altogether is both unnecessary and too obvious a tactic.
. . . Entering her weekly caucus meeting, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters that a “clean” increase of the nation’s borrowing limit is “the smart thing to do…”
But inside the meeting, Pelosi and her lieutenants instructed rank-and-file members, “don’t gloat, take it in stride and hang together,” according to a lawmaker who was in the room.
Sounds like she knows surrender when she sees it.

Something they pissed and moaned that Bush did, in preparation for when they actually do. Smoothed the way for themselves.
Ex – my dad pissed and moaned about it. When questioned about Clinton and Obama doing worse, the answer was – ‘you can’t judge a man by his proclivities’ and ‘they all do it’ and besides Cheney was a sonofabitch (though they couldn’t give one good reason why he was worse than any other pol).
Sounds like she knows surrender when she sees it.
So when is the GOP going to throw Boehner to the curb. Do they enjoy reading that shit? Is he secretly on Barry’s payroll?
G.O. – We woke up in a different country on Jan 21, 2009. I don’t even recognize it. You’re correct about the “dictator”, but the total surrender of the Republicans and the abject adoration of the press certainly has aided Obama. I expect no less during the reign of Hillary the First.

The nation changed again, that Christmas season when Black Nixon signed Obamacare into law. From now until the next century, one sixth of the nation’s economy will be managed not by clear and concise laws, from any central authority, but by a mishmash of ad hoc decisions and decrees from faceless, unelected bureaucrats. One sixth of our economy, all our medicine and our very lives are now the playthings of tyrannical caprice, with rules (rules should be in scare quotes) changing at the slightest whim. Plus, we all get the privilege of paying twice or three times as much for anything medical.

My guess is that she leaves her husband in another year or two and ends up bar hopping with her daughter when the girl turns 21.
CA, looking at her picture, I can understand why they allowed her to change her name to Sexy.
Smoking hawt…..
Ah. She’s a democrat, and anything goes.
BTW, Sexy, “Crabtree” ruins the imagery your first name evokes. There is nothing sexy about crabs, trees, or crabtrees. You shoulda gone the whole nine yards and changed your last name to “Lingerie.”
I once bought an Elephant Dung LP from the cutout bin at wiser’s record store.
I wonder why she simply did not go online and use the porn star name generator.
Suck it, peons.
We have a full size dumpster 3/4 full of binders. All the cut sheets and catalogs and CD’s from vendors and manufacturers. We emptied the binders and folders (and will shred) of all of our assessment reports and project documents, some from back in the ’80s. Anything from about 1998 on we have electronically.
Our former owner kept a library of security and construction related magazines for the last 25 years.

Sometimes you wonder how people in centuries past tolerated their rulers living in vast luxury at the expense of the people without the people uprising. But then you see nothing has changed.

Sometimes you wonder how people in centuries past tolerated their rulers living in vast luxury at the expense of the people without the people uprising. But then you see nothing has changed.
Usually they did it by disarming (in various ways) the public. THe public cannot get upset when it’s distracted with stupid shit. We’re being played.
And by “we” I mean the majority of the population who doesn’t give a shit.
Bread and circuses has been supplanted by EBT and Facebook.
It’s interesting (disgusting) how the current residents of the White House have managed to transfer what used to be respect and admiration for the office and holder of that position, to a fan girl/ star-struck dynamic.
Personally, I can’t stand the admiration given to Hollywood/”artists” etc, so it’s even more bile-producing when that attitude is on display for our Dear Leaders.
The brilliance of Black Nixon’s arrival as supreme ruler is the conversion of the republics politics into an exercise in marketing.
It figures. When the difference between the two ruling parties becomes blurrier then a Lomo snapshot, the only thing left is branding. Which brand do you like? Shell or Exxon? Sears or JCPenney? Little Debbie or Hostess? Either way you’ll get the same thing, so long as it is not an incandescent lightbulb.
Here, Carin – this should bring your spirits up a little. Andy and Mundane might appreciate it, too.

Did I not mention that I lost my glasses recently?
I recently got *progressive* lenses for reading. They work fine for reading but looking at things in the distance is weird. They told me there was no correction in the distance part of the lens but I’m not buying it. I go back end of the month to see how I’m doing with them. I should’ve gone with the reading only ones. Expensive lesson.

I’ll give them more time for sure George. They were pretty pricey. I was able to use up health spending account money left over from 2013 which was on of my goals of getting my eyes checked (in addition to, you know, reading shit). I may get a cheap pair of reading only glasses for a back up.

Yeah, progressive lenses are pricey, but I needed them. Better for me than to carry two pairs of glasses. My vision is pretty meh, so I need them for everything except reading stuff from about 12″ away. Plus they have magnetic “clip on” sunglass filters.
the issue for me with progressive lenses is driving. They have a slightly weird effect on peripheral vision. Not terrible. Just takes a bit of getting used to.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) defended Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday after the House passed a clean debt-limit bill that raised the ire of conservatives.
King branded as “morons” many conservatives in the GOP caucus who consistently oppose any effort to pass the debt limit, asserting they are the same faction that led to the government shutdown last year.
He says that as if it’s a bad thing.
Episode 39763 in the soap opera “The End Days Of Our Lives”
Mayor de Blasio spokesman Phil Walzak confirmed that the mayor called a top police official early Tuesday morning to find out more about the arrest of Bishop Orlando Findlayter, a member of Mayor de Blasio’s transition team, who was wanted on two outstanding warrants.
A church pastor with outstanding warrants — and a position on Mayor de Blasio’s inaugural committee — dodged a night in the slammer after Hizzoner made a call to one of the city’s top cops.

Interesting
Consider New York State. Andrew Cuomo… acts for two interfaced elites — political in Albany and financial in NYC. The rest of the state is peasantry, without jobs, without hope, without a future, enabled to subsist by federal welfare programs.
Now, what in the world does this remind us of? What else is New York State but a temperate zone third-world country? (It even features the governorship handed off from father to son — granted a brief interlude — much as we see in such regimes.)
This is what the Democrats have in mind for the rest of the country. The prospect we’re facing is not 1984, or Nazi Germany, or even Suharto’s Indonesia. It is contemporary Argentina, controlled by elites, bouncing from one political extreme to the other, run by an ever more bizarre train of lunatics, with a government that relates to the people in much the same way that a parasite relates to its host.

Me too.
MJ is probably on fire by now.
How Booze Built America is on Military. Mike Rowe hosting a documentary about how taxes on molasses sparked the revolution.
Leon, have you seen the Walmart blow up with him? He’s slicing like a fucking hammer.
Why? A three letter word: J O B S.
No, really, they just covered it. The rum trade employed a crapload of people in Boston, directly or indirectly. Raise taxes on molasses, and you put them out of work. That used to be enough to get people violently angry.
Incredible, really.
I’ve seen the “I am a Factory” commercial. I don’t go to WalMart much. Meijer’s closer and has better food.
That’s when shit got real:
They say you can still smell that on hot days, Jimbro.
Here’s his FB page. Scroll down to the second status. The one that starts “Clean Up On Aisle 4!”
https://www.facebook.com/TheRealMikeRowe
Jimbro, we studied that tank failure in materials engineering class. Professor said that you could smell the molasses on warm days for years afterward.
I would hand a Coke to Leon, but he would probably rather have the maple booze.
MJ is probably on fire by now.
If he doesn’t have a stump, he’s doin’ it wrong.
Thursday is for drinking. Today is just iced tea.
Thanks, though.
I’ve been by the site and the first time I saw this I thought it was a spoof:
http://tinyurl.com/m8b7h47
Must’ve been in college wandering around town looking for women or beer. Only later on when I read it was a real thing did it sink in about how much of a disaster it was.
That’s one of the most studied engineering failures ever.
I’m feeling out of the loop here. Born, raised and educated in MA and the first time I read about that was on a plaque while wandering through Boston aimlessly. After that I read a few stories on line from a historical slant but never an engineering perspective. Biology major, go figure.
Read it, Bcock. He needs an editor (“incite” not “insight” a fight), but it’s good stuff.
Only one I’ve heard more about is Tacoma Narrows. Physics profs show that every time harmonics comes up.
Boston molasses, Kansas City hotel dance floor collapse, Point Pleasant bridge collapse, Teton Dam failure, Tay Bridge collapse, the DC-10 that had an engine fall off. I took the class before Challenger happened.
>>>Read it, Bcock. He needs an editor (“incite” not “insight” a fight), but it’s good stuff.
Yeah, but that tells me that he’s really the one writing it. Which makes me like it even more. It reads like something I’d type up.
That’s one of the most studied engineering failures ever.
Never heard of it.
You forgot the Lemon Bear Dick Punch Disaster.
I think I watched this 8 times in high school and college.
Roamy, RL friend’s Mom was a nurse in KC. Got called in to work for the KC Walkway disaster. Most gruesome shift she’d ever worked. Army nurse in Nam.
What about the sinkhole in the Corvette Museum?
Tragic.
I learned about Tacoma Narrows Bridge in physics. That film brought it back. I’ve got a kid to get ready for bed including brushing his tooth (teeth really, I just say tooth to make him laugh). Night y’all.
Watched a show about sinkholes the other day. Scary stuff.
Nighty night, Jimdad.
What about the sinkhole in the Corvette Museum?
This was real!
Ha Ha! I thought you were starting up a joke thread.
Look up whirl mode failures of the Lockheed L-188.
I did my workout today, and in my little gym was none other than Nadya Sulemon and two of her spawn. She was working out with a guy I assume is her trainer and the kids were actually being very well behaved for pre-teens in a gym.
But no, I am not interested, as the Good Book says, “Don’t put your dick into crazy”.
It reads like something I’d type up.
Nah, the length gives it away as a BiW missive. although there isn’t enough big words for that.
(leaves the small letter there on purpose. So there, leon!)
teeth really, I just say tooth to make him laugh
Why are your kids reading H2? Are they in 4th grade?
Kansas City walkway happened when Mr. TiFW and I were in college – heard it was the talk of the entire Civil Engineering department for a few weeks. Mr. TiFW and I were on a co-op assignment, so we didn’t get to hear any classroom discussions on it.
The gentlemen I was working with talked about it a lot – gave me a lot of insight on it (that I probably wouldn’t have gotten in class), too.
It’s real http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/shared/npr/201402/275949505.jpg
I was taking a nuclear engineering course when Chernobyl happened.
Spectacular
Jimbro,
After the scanner traffic, nothing!
Nothing in the local “News” media, or anywhere else.
Can’t help but wonder if the Deputies just practised the local SSS policy, (Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up).
So it goes…
Roamy causes disasters?
(that was to go with Scott’s comment)
We were taught in class that naturally-occurring sinkholes happen in a straight line. If I recall, in Florida the CEs have to have special certification on sinkholes to be able to do certain jobs.
>>>Roamy causes disasters?
I thought Roamy was the disaster?
No, I said she’s a hot mess.
whirl mode failures of the Lockheed L-188
Going to go find “No Highway in the Sky” and watch it for the umpteenth time.
Rocket science in the 50s and 60s was full of disasters
Here’s a slightly more complete compilation, Dave:
Teresa
Those are called karst deposits
It occurs in limestone environments
Texas has them as well, all through the hill country
Hahahahaha, yeah, disaster and hot mess.
W…T…F…just happened???
I’m succinct
Great compilation!
Several of those disasters were in The Right Stuff, especially that Mercury Redstone with the little champagne cork popping up
It’s ok Dave, it happens to everyone.
Not everyone.
2.5″ of fluffy snow on top of ice. I don’t think I’m going anywhere early tomorrow.
Ugh, snow on ice is the worst.
French toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
I HATE IT WHEN IT TAKES MY PORN SO LONG TO DOWNLOAD!!!
//also, last night’s episode of Justified.
You’re gonna love it when Art shoots Raylan in the foot!
I. WILL. STAB. YOUR. FUCKING. EYE. OUT. WITH. YOUR. OWN. DARTS. IF. YOU. DROP. A. SPOILER!!
No French toast. This will be the third snow day, plus we ran out of bread on Sunday. I’ve been baking biscuits and other quick breads. Rocketboy baked muffins this morning.
If it gets bad, you can have your neighbors for dinner.
And I do mean HAVE your neighbors for dinner.
Heh. Still haven’t met the neighbors who moved in while we were chunkin’ pumpkins.
So, no social awkwardness.
We have enough milk for breakfast, then that’s it, except for cans of evaporated milk. No bread. Most of a dozen eggs. 6 lbs. of bacon.
So, you’re gonna run out of bacon tomorrow morning.
oh, and plenty of coffee.
Depends on whether Rocketboy sleeps in or not.
Long pig. Just sayin’.
Doubles Luge is crazy tonight. Best after Best after Best
I’m still watching pairs figure skating. And man that Russian chick is cute.
I cannot watch The Right Stuff without being reminded of what a shit stew DC has now produced compared to what our republic was like back then.
Is there really any better pie than mincemeat? Discuss.
1. Apple
2. Cherry
3. Key Lime
4. Chocolate Cream
Actually, Derby pie can give mincemeat a run for its money.
Are there human being with bigger legs than male speed skaters? wow.

Good morning, all.
Carin, GIT UP! You have work to do.
Well that’s weird…I go to a pretty obscure gif forum to mine links, last night a poster whose username is JTWood posted a gif and video of the corvette museum sinkhole, two hours before Scott mentioned it.

Cool vids, pup. The yellow corvette is just gone. I didn’t see it again after the collapse. 😦
Morning, TJ.
Well, made it to the station.
Going home should be interesting.

Reporter on the radio just said, comparing the Southern snow storm to our stuff “Well, you know, down here we don’t have snow chains.”
Paul W Smith laughed and laughed and laughed.
Chains?

I saw a comment yesterday from someone named Charlie Gibson at 9:46 PM. Is this a sock? Or, is it a de-lurked lurker? Or, is this just someone I don’t know?
Perhaps the screaming kids at the Methodist church ate MJ?

I’m making a vow now: Every time I’m inclined to read an Ann Althouse blogpost, I’m gonna punch myself in the junk. It’ll save time and be less painful.
Ohhh, wiser. I so hope you’re joking.

i haven’t seen numbers yet for new york state – we have a large, under reported redneck (read American) citizenry here. We’re just out numbered by NYC urban douche-baggery. I’m not aware of a single person that’s registered their firearms; but a lot have sold or given them away… *cough cough*
Come – Take
I bet a lot of people also lost their guns when their boat overturned, etc.
Sorry – I’ve got some external stresses, and stuff isn’t registering, Carin. I’m with you now. And, you’re right. Sometimes, though, he doesn’t let you know it’s Althouse. I need to preview the links better.

Hey, you do have a history.
Jazz, I’m more than happy to esplain this stuff /remind you. lol.
In NC you have to go to local Sheriff’s office, get a permit, choose a reason for your firearm purchase, buy it, then register it.
I’ll be heading back to Florida for a long weekend to use my in state ID for a quick pick up.

Pepe, need your email. Have questions.
How did it go?
Pretty well. Couple of glitches, but those got removed in post-production.
I can really never thank Roamie enough for that opportunity.
wiserbud, make sure to use this for your background music:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
consider it done.
Hey, you do have a history.
I started the recording at 7am, 35 minutes before the call.
I wasn’t taking any chances of forgetting.
Who did you interview? I missed it.
Wiser, did you ask them about space pens?
Space potatoes?

They say we could see snowfall rates of 3-4″ per hour.
I’ll be driving to work in that.
Good morning all!
Wiser, that is too fucking cool! Can you tease the interview in advance? Guaranteed ratings booster.
MJ, glad you’re safe and alive and didn’t don your stupid hat.

My question would have been …How much cash do you have on you?

You’re low-balling it.
Hmm, porn.com has a free newsletter…

GTFO. That’s so cool.
Is it airing this week? If so maybe I’ll punt on the Lemon Bear and do a space themed drink.
Wiser, did you ask them about space pens?
DAMMIT!!!!!
This proves that the producer needs a producer.
Can you tease the interview in advance?
They are already promoting the hell out of it. The morning host even had me on his show this morning after I was done to talk about it.
Is it airing this week? If so maybe I’ll punt on the Lemon Bear and do a space themed drink.
Gonna air it at the top of the second hour.
Haha, interviewed about an interview. Welcome to the media, you have arrived.
Have you received your journolist gift bag yet? Dinner date with Teh Krugman and David Brooks?
My question would have been …How much cash do you have on you?
“Do you guys ever get…. lonely…(iykwim)?”
My question would have been:
Have you seen Gravity? That’s some scary shit.
IT’S 31 DEGREES! We haven’t been above freezing all month!
Have you seen Gravity? That’s some scary shit.
Someone suggested that. And also playing Space Odyssey as the intro.
Ummmm……. no.
Hmmm. That might go together nicely.
I also have a kick ass story about Jim Lovell that I can lead off with.
Welcome to the media, you have arrived.
(…as I return to my little bookkeeping gig at the music store…..)
Cool, MJ is name dropping on wisers show. Well done!
Music store? I thought you sold records.
What if they land 100 miles off course? They might need a cab or a sandwich or something.
Good job, Radiobud! This is a big fucking deal.

Well, you haven’t heard the interview yet.

Little people? Have we met?
leon is the one that goes by little people.

Something something space-Tang something.
and let me repeat yet again, this was all due to Roamie.
Little people? Have we met?
Yes. And next time, I will kindly ask you to not look in my direction when you are in my presence.
Otherwise I will have my people take care of you.

Great job, Wiser. Now, what do you have lined up for next week?
