Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I was busy last night and didn’t get a chance to add to my binders full of men, so let’s see who’s in the “saved for later” folder.
First, some music to get you moving.
(still hate Vevo, sorry.)
Fake redhead for Carin.
Classic cowboy.
Henry Cavill, lookin’ durrty.
They’re not all shirtless.
And my personal favorite.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

That is some shit. Great groove.
What in tarnation is this?!
Did anyone else not get fired for a blatantly pornographic tweet at work today?
Happy birthday, Pupster, Aprilwine, and Michael!
We might be buying a used eff one fiddy today to use for hauling things to the farm.
47 today. In dog years I’m dayed.
Thanks everybody.
I’ll be using this day to sit in meetings for work, accumulate billable hours, and try and figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
Then the question becomes: do I have two tons of soil and peat delivered… or buy a trailer?
If you figure it out, Pupster, please tell me. I’m looking for ideas.
Grace Potter is awesome. There’s a show in Colorado in September that I might go to see.
Wow, it’s Michael’s birthday? Awesome!
Oh, and happy birthday, pupster.
Does Grace Potter sound like Pink Floyd?
Rent trailers Leon, check out the local UHaul. Cheap cheap cheap.
Mmmmmorning men. Thanks Roamy!
This is troubling

Knock out power to large areas, and chaos will ensue.
I just checked. Dirt hauling trailers are $20-$30 a day.
HAHAHA
Worst birthday EVER.
I could rent, there’s a UHaul place not far from me. I think the next step is to arrange the order with Lowe’s ahead of time, assuming we get the truck.
I can rent a flatbed trailer with cage sides for 25 bucks a day
Happy Birthday Pupster!
Great tunes, Roamy and Scott! And they were not Pink Floyd!1!
I want to buy a truck. I don’t need it. I am a computer geek with soft, almost Dave-like hands. I don’t have a huge yard that need – crap ton of hauling. But I want one.
Get a dualie, Tushar. That’ll do!
Tushar, deadlifts will solve many of your problems, especially the soft hands.
We actually need the truck. If the Altima had lasted a little longer, I’d be buying it as my primary vehicle. As it stands, the Altima died when we had the other truck, so I thought we needed another distance/commute vehicle.
My BIL is trying to talk the wife into buying a SUV instead of a truck, to replace the truck I have and the car she drives (consolidating). Says he can haul just as much with his SUV.
I beg to differ. He doesn’t haul bags of leaves and dirt, I do.
We’re looking at smaller trucks. Don’t need the big one, and the wife hates the full sized trucks. Ford first, then probably Toyota, since GM and Dodge are off limits.
Rumsfeld’s letter to the IRS is awesome.
I have requests for horse manure for which I could easily be charging. I’m not hauling that anywhere in an enclosed cabin.
So in other words, our tax code has known unknowns and unknown unknowns.
There are things we know we don’t know, and there are things we don’t even fooking know we don’t know.
That last category far exceeds what we know about the tax code.
I have a Tacoma which is used as a truck to haul stuff once a week for trips to the dump. And soft hands.
I can’t get enuff of that RCFP vid, scott. One of the best recs I’ve gotten in a LONG time.
Tush, I loved it when Rummy hit the MFM with the unknown unknowns.

“Which, of course, I’m going to talk about because I’m doing Crossfit this month and the first rule of Crossfit is NEVER SHUT UP about Crossfit.
Like I said, evangelical.”
Jay, Ford has discontinued Ranger. So your choices are Japanese. Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. Honda Ridgeline is not a truck. It is a joke.
Pupster bought a used Tundra and seems to be very happy with it.
Leon, I was a pretty fit guy upto the age of 30. Then I injured my knee and it all changed. Now I want to change it back.
Oso, Rumsfeld and Cheney were the best foreign policy/defense people in last 40-50 years.
Damn, looks like the law of depreciation does not apply to Tacomas.
Happy birthday, pup. Hope you get a big bone today.
Tush, I loved them both. The clown college we have in place, is getting people killed.
Used trucks that still have all their parts hold value pretty well. Tacomas especially so.
“Which, of course, I’m going to talk about because I’m doing Crossfit this month and the first rule of Crossfit is NEVER SHUT UP about Crossfit.

FYI: Photo people are almost as bad as bakery people. The absolute worst? People that want a photo on their cake. Yes, it is a picture of you, you have to get a release if it was taken by a professional, you do not own the image, so we can’t copy it, Really, I’m a bitch because you need the cake tomorrow? AUGH!!!!!!
I would love India’s Tata Motors to sell their truck in US.
140 hp Diesel. I estimate they can sell it for about $18K.
The diesel engine is a basic Mercedes design that was improved inhouse.
http://www.tataxenonxt.com/the-xenon-specs/specifications/
Another Indian company, Mahindra, explored selling their diesel truck in US, but hit too many roadblocks.
Happy birthday, Pupstart. You’re just a youngin’.
Wunderground.com has a new format, it looks like. I think I like it.
Happy birthday, Pupster!
Leon, how much would a company charge you to deliver the soil? If it’s less than it would cost you in time/gas/money to go to the place, get it yourself, then drive back home and shovel it out, then I would go that route.
Our truck (GMC Sierra) will only hold 1 cubic yard of material at a time. I don’t know how much that “weighs”, but I doubt that it’s 2 tons. I don’t know how many trips we would have to make to get that amount of soil to the house, but I’m betting it would be cheaper to have it delivered and dumped than it would to haul it ourselves.
Just a thought.
Small diesels fielded in the US always seem to result in a new, tighter particulate emission standard that takes them off the market. Daimler-Benz had to quit after two years because they didn’t sufficiently bribe congress not to do it.
I wouldn’t fill the bed of a truck — any truck — with two tons of material, even if it would fit. Thus the trailer.
Depending on how well I like you, I might fill the bed of your truck with 2 tons of material.
Leon, VW sells tiny cars with Diesel engines in it. They have figured out something the truck makers haven’t. Or is it just a Detroit vs the rest thing? In that case, why doesn’t detroit build diesels?
Wait, don’t answer that. I think we know the answers already. Detroit is full of assholes and UAW leeches don’t want to learn anything new.
Grace Potter might have to make an appearance on Load HEAT.
Detroit does build diesels – Detroit Diesel formerly owned by Roger Penske, now owned by Daimler and Rolls Royce. My cousin has worked for them since the early 70s.
They recently moved a huge part of their production to South Carolina.
So long, UAW suckers.
I’m currently on my third F150. I have had great luck with them. They do have a limited payload/towing capacity – I think I’ll move up to the F250 next. I want a Fifth Wheel RV – an F150 can’t really tow one.
The wife and I haven’t owned a car (I have the pickup; she has an SUV) in over 20 years.
How much would a trailer cost?
If you were to rent one, how long would it take you to unload it?
Would you be able to do it in a day, or would it take longer?
How far would you have to drive to rent and return one (time and cost of gas)?
There’s something to be said for having someone else get the wear and tear on their own vehicle, having the load delivered and dumped in one fell swoop on your property, then having the “luxury” of taking as much time as you need to move the soil in wheelbarrow loads to wherever you need it.
They might even be willing to dump it in two or three places if you ask.
I know that you are in good shape, but you might think about the time you’d be saving by having it delivered. What is your TIME worth to you?
I don’t understand why no republicans make this argument:
You want people who illegally came here to work and stay legally? Fine. We can give them some sort of green card. But why do we need to give them citizenship? If Democrats truly care about justice and not padding their voter roles, we can have a compromist today:
1. Illegal immigrants can apply for green cards. They will have to pay a fine. They will never qualify to become citizens.
2. Photo IDs will become mandatory for voting, and voting records will be made available to candidates and their parties for cross checking to make sure non eligible people are not voting.
If the democrats cannot agree to this compromise, it will show that they intend to commit election fraud and subvert democracy.
If I get it delivered, they’ll probably bring me free pallets, so I’m good with that. Have to find out what they’ll charge me.

Who wants to hear about my workout today?
Laugh it up, but if I start talking about the Paleo challenge from my gym, Leon will be ALL OVER IT.
Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb
COME ON EVERYONE, REP UP.
Mother do you think they’ll like this song
Time for WALL BALLS!
Mother do you think they’ll try to break my balls?
They will never qualify to become citizens.
Therein lies the non-starter.
Tush, Gov Fat Ass started giving illegals DLs. We have Motor Voter. Illegals have been voting and serving on juries for years. We need to follow AZs lead and require proof of citizenship to vote. It kills me to say that. I H8 the concept of a national ID or showing papers.
If the democrats cannot agree to this compromise, it will show that they intend to commit election fraud and subvert democracy.
Everyone already knows this, including democrats.
I H8 the concept of a national ID or showing papers.
You mean like we have to do every time we cash a check, renew our passport, license a vehicle, or open a bank account?
Comment by Tushar on April 16, 2014 11:28 am
I don’t understand why no republicans make this argument:
Because it wouldn’t work. Everyone knows that the Dems want citizenship for illegals, and that once you get them a green-card, the argument will change to “Well they live here and work and pay taxes but they don’t get a say in government and that’s wrong!”
Why can’t we play a little race politics? Catch a few prominent black people, convince (or bribe) them to make noise about how influx of immigrants will hurt poor blacks. Sow discord and confusion. Ask congressional black caucus members how they can hurt their own constituents like this. Pit race against race.
I don’t know… Think of something. Don’t just sit there and sigh.
Naysaying has become so ingrained in you all that you want to lose the battle without even attempting to fight.
You all have very well developed theories on what will not work. Can you suggest something that might work?
How about red states quietly rebelling against the feds? If feds start that Nevada like shit in a red state, have your state’s national guard stand against the feds with heavy weapons. Raise a ruckus.
I just don’t like the concept of National ID. Too European for me. I understand that if I want to engage in any of the activities you listed, I need a govt issued ID.
Tushar,
There already is a lot of low-level conflict between the black and hispanic communities, especiallly in big blue cities. The problem is that any black “leader” who speaks out for Republicans or conservatism gets destroyed by the rest of the community. Furthermore, most of them are corrupt, which makes them vulnerable if they don’t toe the line.
Oso, it does not have to be a national id. Present at least one photo id with your address on it. Before voting, fill a form with your details and SSN. If there are errors, we will come after you.
C-Alex, he does not have to speak with republicans. He should just raise voice and talk about interest of black people.
So, you told me why this will not work. Now tell me how this can be made to work.
Tush, our Hispanic Republican Governor can’t even get an immigration bill out of the D-rat controlled legislature that is supported by 70% of NM. The Kennedy’s showed what happens when you use Natl Guard against the Feds.
Tush, I think Rand Paul made your argument recently about illegals.
Oh, and I know I am speaking the interest of my own ethnicity, but legal immigrants are no better. They vote for democrats too, because they are eager to fit in, and go with what is trendy. And liberalism is trendy. Don’t succumb to demands of tech industry. They support democrats anyway. Allow legal educated immigrants if you want, but don’t let them become citizens easily.
>>The Kennedy’s showed what happens when you use Natl Guard against the Feds.
More details please.
See, that is why I like Rand Paul. He can think strategically. But oh noes! He endorsed Mitch McConnel. Off with his head!
Loretta Sanchez is what is wrong with your solution. She was 18 months in to her Congressional Term before it was determined that she had lost the election. Kept the seat. Funneled money to her sister to get her elected. She’s been in Congress ever since.
It kills me that Michigan requires photo ID to vote, and that’s somehow controversial anywhere else.
Not that this stops the dead from voting in Detroit via absentee ballot, but it likely stops a lot of illegals.
Kennedy federalized the Alabama NG to desegregate schools.
>>The Kennedy’s showed what happens when you use Natl Guard against the Feds.
Also, Kent State.
Oops. Never mind; I missed the “against the Feds” part.
JFK did the same thing in Little Rock.
Until the media can either be persuaded to do their real jobs, or until they are totally marginalized by other forms of information dissemination, the democrats have a lock on power. When illegals are given voting rights we’re doomed, if we aren’t already.
Apply the same vulgar concept to illegal aliens, and you have the democrat strategy.
So let me summarize:
Therein lies the non-starter.
Everyone already knows this, including democrats.

What an optimistic bunch. Wring your hands and then sit on them.
Every state issues photo ID, no reason you shouldn’t have to show it to vote. I’d go so far as to require it for an absentee ballot issuance.
I’d like to see much more effort at fighting for control of the culture. Many of the institutions that the left relies on to spread their message are being undermined by the pace of technological change.
For example, I’d love to see attempts by conservatives to start writing and producing sitcoms and other television shows and publish them through Hulu, Netflix, Amazon.com, etc. You don’t have to make the message in-your-face, in fact it’s best if it isn’t. But you can certainly take many of the common stories and put a conservative spin on them. For example, a family sitcom where the daughter decides to date some loser despite dad telling her that the guy is no good, and lo and behold it turns out that he was right. Or a show about twenty-somethings who get married and settle down rather than living as singles in NYC and sleeping around.
Ace and Breitbart are right that politics flows from culture. If you want to change the politics you have to start by changing culture. Make people feel comfortable at laughing at the left, and with saying conservative thoughts. Right now the media makes it very hard because they portray leftism as the cool choice, the smart choice, the popular choice.
HS is right. The D-rats control the MFM. When State and Local cops start doing their jobs in regards to illegals, the Feds don’t follow through. I’m all about self-deportation. Dry up the FS and the jobs, they’ll self-deport. It worked for AZ. Most of them self-deported to NM and CO.
Alex, now you are talking!
Maybe I’m jaded by living in such a liberal community, and having so many liberal friends and acquaintances. I listen to and read what they say, and it is all lock-step politics driven by the media, and the lefty blogs.
It is intentionally divisive; then goes on to “otherize” anyone who expresses another opinion.
The public schools and upper academia have been irretrievably infected with socialism and disdain for white people, American pride, self actualization, and personal responsibility, etc.
You’re right, Tushar. I have no idea how to turn this around. But reality is reality.
Living in Ann Arbor took the starch out of my britches too. Living in farm country and going to church with like-minded folk has done a lot to lift my spirits.
COAlex, has lots of ideas about using Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, new media to take back some ground lost in the Culture wars. We just have to do it in such a way that it can’t be “Otherized”. BTW that is some of Ace’s best writing. The “Otherization” of average fly-over Americans.
We should get Laura to do a weekly gardening show on Netflix.
Or just youtube.
Heck, I watch this guy, and he’s crazy, but his garden is amazing:
https://www.youtube.com/user/growingyourgreens
Speaking of our guys on youtube with non political stuff, have you seen this guy? Can’t remember the name. He makes these kick ass drinks. Calls him some radio guy’s personal mixologist. Is short and ugly but has a hawt girlfriend.
He is good.
Leon, I don’t even get to go to church with like-minded folk. I’m glad our POS Archbishop is retiring.
I subscribe to his channel, Tushar.
His audio capture strategy sucks, though. Really needs an external mic closer to his setup.
What Kennedys were able to do 50 years back, thye may not be able to do today. Feds backed down from Bundy ranch without NV state guard and state police getting involved. Imagine if EPA tries to shutdown some factory in Texas, only to see Texas Natl Guard and Texas Rangers standing in their path with APCs and heavy guns.
Confront them, reduce their influence in red states. Let blue states go to hell, but reduce fed influence on red states.
Don’t hesitate to arrest IRS agents who harass citizens of your state. Make them fear you.
Until Ace presented his concept of “Otherization”, I could not put my finger on exactly why so many liberals espoused notions of how evil we conservatives are. Then I began to look at how they portray anyone with an opinion contrary to them.
Seeing what they have done to Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Condoleezza Rice, Alveeda King, etc., makes me want to scream “War on Women, motherfuckers, do you know what it means?”
Yo MJ, what camera do you use? We need to find something compatible
Exactly, HS. Did you know that Susana is rayciss? La Raza gets equal time on local television every time Susana speaks up about illegals. We get ads with little Hispanic girls all teary-eyed, captioned with “Why do want to deport my daddy?”
I think the FAA rules are still in effect that make me think drones and satellites are still keeping watch on that little patch of NV. It is far from over. TX has a BLM Red River case coming up that will put a TX Rancher in the media spotlight. I want to see coal miners in WV stand up to the EPA, too.
Listen, at some point the 47 % people in this country who don’t want socialism and be slaves of the other 53% have to find a way. If that means splitting the country, so be it. They can have the big cities, we will have the rest. They don’t tell us how big our cars and houses and guns should be, we don’t tell them where to put their dicks and whether they should abort their babies. They can make their bureaucracies as big as they want, as long as we are not picking up the tab.

Chris W. Cox should send Bloomie a “Fundraiser of the Year” award.

I have just one bone to picj with Kevin Willamson:
There is no such thing like a little sedition, just like there is not such thing like a little rape or a little murder.
In by the pound, in by the bushel. We have to go the whole way. A little sedition here and there can be tamped down. A sedition by 150 million angry gun weilding citizens cannot be.
From that Bloomberg article:
In other words, he’s going to bully them into submission.
Yeah, those are just the people who are going to be excited about working for a cause – folks who are cowering in the corner you backed them into.
Those are the very folks who will turn tail and run when confronted by gun rights activists, Mr. Bloomberg; you plan on filling your “army” with a bunch of spineless mewling creatures scared of their own shadow.

I wonder if Rosetta got a deduction for his operation.
Rosetta’s operation was indeed a deduction, so yes.

I think I just introduced WP to my real life WP on FB.
Dave is probably familiar with his work.
>>>I think I just introduced WP to my real life WP on FB.
For your sake, I sure hope this doesn’t mean what I think it means…..
It does. So far, they are hitting it off.

Good thing I tried to hang drink for drink with Dan tonight. Already buzzed. Getting ready to call it a night. BS that 6’4″ is like way mo beta than almost 5’4″
*laughing at oso*
You’d think that I would’ve figured it out by now. I will always go toe to toe with Dan. Slug Bug. Food. Drink to drink. (Is the height differential Math or Science?)
Here’s a trio of blazing bass players, scott – Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten. These guys are a blast to watch

Whew!
Did Y’all catch that? A “Classroom Tour”!
Barky and Joe managed to tough it out.
We’re lucky to have them…
Way way late, that was quite the Floyd Fest last night. I inadvertently heard them in Venice when I was bopping around Europe one summer. My client took their advertising in-house, and after refusing their offer to go work for them, I sold my car and hit the road.
Waiting at the train station in Verona to get to Venice, train after train came by just packed with people and about the third one had a Pink Floyd banner hanging out the window. Ah, crap. Free concert on the lagoon in Venice.
I finally got there and the place was nuts with hoards of Floydians running around everywhere. I had a great dinner and went to bed with the window open hearing “Comfortably Numb”.
The next morning the police got up early and ran every one of the concert-goers out of town.
Dayum, cool story, Lipstick!
Hey, Chrispy and Lippy!
Be prepared for the “wall of text” treatment, Chrispy., I’m not gonna do it, but, man, that’s a prime candidate! 😉
Last night was really fun, Lip, but I think we drove Cyn out with all the Floyd. I felt badly about that. I sure did enjoy myself, though. I’ve never seen them, but my brother took my straight-laced dad to see Floyd at the Silverdome in the early 90s. That would have been a lot of fun, if for no other reason than to see my dad at a Floyd concert.
Since we Floyded it up last night, here’s one of my favorite Ry Cooder songs. “The Very Thing That Makes Her Rich (Makes Me Poor)”
Stanley Clark? Hells yes
Miller and Wooten were awesome too.
I have a lot of this shit on vinyl.
..
If eldest didn’t swipe em.
Testes.
Oso kills me. Hilarious.
It’s not over yet, Scott.
But I won.
How do you figure? A non-paleo item has not crossed these lips since Sunday.
Is dick paleo?
I’m asking for Leon.
My only mess-up was I forgot to take a second Fish oil thing on Monday.
I would think that would be a yes, MJ.
You guys need to appreciate my resolve at work. Fried food – RIGHT THERE – for the taking. Desserts. Everything.
But nope. I brought spinach and hard boiled eggs and an avocado. Had a salad for dinner.
Truly astounding Mrs Obama. I mean, Car in.
*prepares for worst beating evah
Look I’m right there with you Car in. Started back on no/low carb 3 weeks ago. Clothes are feeling loose again.
…
I’m not going to exercise fuck exercise.
Dayum, cool story, Lipstick!
It was a very cool summer, Jay. Wow, the stars aligned and I am so lucky to have had that opportunity. (Not to see PF, but that the sale of a Plymouth Horizon could fund a trip to Europe. I was young and dumb and adventurous. And youth hostels.)
Hi Jazz, yeah, I did not want to have anything to do with the ‘hippies’ who were there for the concert. They were not mellow, but were stampeding in the streets. Seriously though, I was laying in bed and my last memory before falling asleep, when your limbs are completely relaxed and your mind is going to other places, was hearing Comfortably Numb. That was pretty cool.
How do you figure? A non-paleo item has not crossed these lips since Sunday.
You crack on day 17. It has been foretold.
I’ve got an entire bag of Fun Sized Snickers bars here. That’s paleo, right?
I actually suspect the occasional rice and cheese are going to drop my score too much for my good sleep, lifting, and nutritional habits to overcome.
But I still won’t be doing crackfat, so I’m way ahead on this thing.
Bedtime. Got to get my 8 hours.
*updates spreadsheet*
>> I was laying in bed and my last memory before falling asleep, when your limbs are completely relaxed and your mind is going to other places, was hearing Comfortably Numb.
Me too.
Except I don’t think I was in bed. I remember a white panel van.
Haha, Dave, lucky you.
I think. Wait.
I remember a white panel van.
And a chemically smelling rag….
Boy, Lois Lerner’s newly revealed emails are barn burners. Time to light the torches and grab the pitchforks.
Somebody asked me if this rag smelled like chloroform.
You climbed in voluntarily, Dave.
Almost.
So meat-ups should be approached with caution?
Never.
I said “not it smells more like ether…..”
I don’t remember anything after that
With the exception of STLMUFLU, I’m unscathed!
I said “not” because I breathed it in pretty deep
This weekend’s trip features time spent in lovely DC and Portland.
Anyone have gabe’s contact info? Any hostages in Portland?
Most of my rags started out life as underwear. You’d prolly get a noseful of brownstripe if I mugged you with one of my rags. Does ether or chloroform mask brownstripe? Inquiring minds wanna know.
“So meat-ups should be approached with caution?”
Hell to the NO! Wild abandon and balls to the wall optimism.
OK good, Cyn, because I’ve never been good with that ‘caution’ thing.
Speaking of meat-ups it kills me that either money or pre-scheduled family stuff has prevented me from going to things in the past few years. Is there anything planned for this year?
Phat, I’m across the river in Vancouver, but…. I have two chillins with birthdays this weekend and think I’m gonna be a busy little bee.
No go on gabe’s info, phat. I think we’ve got someone in/around Portland, though. Maybe Chrispy? Hmmmmm
Nah, J’Ames, you just don’t remember falling asleep on the deck in Lapeer.
Wait…nevermind. I misspoke.
Uniball moved to Portland, and then abandoned us.
Goodnight. Big day tomorry.
I’m drinking my first cup of rooibos tea ever. I’m not sure if I like this stuff.
G’nite, larry.
I’ll email Andy. I get in to Dulles around 2000 and have to clear customs. Probably won’t make it to the hotel downtown until after 2100.
I KNEW I was missing a few hours.
>> Speaking of meat-ups it kills me that either money or pre-scheduled family stuff has prevented me from going to things in the past few years. Is there anything planned for this year?
You and Cynny should talk, a little bird told me.
Andy answers email faster if you include peener pix.
NO way I would lie just to get you to embarrass yourself, so don’t let that thought cross your mind.
haha, Kimmel has a 14 foot David Hasselhoff statue, freakin hilarious.
Meat up? I’ll bring mare.
Like a boss.
>>You and Cynny should talk, a little bird told me.
I voted in the poll.

—————–
Sounds kinky, but isn’t. Nicely done.
Also: check your g string Cyn.
Meatup is looking like first weekend in September somewhere in the Phoenix area. I’m looking at Scottsdale or Chandler or Tempe for frolicking and festivities.
Poll, pole, eh what difference does it make?
ChrisP lives way up north near Seattle.
Checking now… been in FuckingTucson all damn day. I really hate going down there for work, but I’d do a pleasure weekend in a few choice spots.
Okay Cyn, that is something I can actually do, for once in a long time!
*jumps up, dances, falls on face*
Cyn,
Flew over PHX two nights ago.
I dipped my wing but I didn’t see you flash me back.
OK, I was at 37,000′, but you can still take a selfie and email it to me.
Phat, check your g-string. I sent you a few pics of Cyn.
Xbrad,
This month has been brutal from a flying perspective. Been a long time since I’ve flown this much.
I will try to finish my Yeltsin story this weekend and upload it to your place.
In anticipation of your response I put a giant fluffy pillow on the floor exactly where you would have landed Lipstick.
No charge. See ya there.
Two nights ago… yep. I flashed you, Phatster. Nekkid as a jaybird in my very back yard, about 2 clicks west of AZA. Prolly the glare of my creamy Victorian white skin obscured your view. Or momentarily blinded you.
Thanks, Phat. You gotta post stuff if you expect a coffee mug for Christmas.
*hands Lipstick an Ice Pack and a Long Island Iced Tea*
Cyn do the neighbors complain like they do when I wander around the back yard nekkid?
Oh wait, you’re pretty.
I withdraw the question.
Block walls. Block walls everywhere here. Though, there might have been a bit of reflective glow.
I’ve been in Cyn’s backyard, yo.
Ha, such that it is. We had such plans for that yard… *sighs* Stupid economy.
G’night peeps and peekers. I fought Tucson and Tucson won. See you Thorsday.
In anticipation of your response I put a giant fluffy pillow on the floor exactly where you would have landed Lipstick.
No charge. See ya there.
See, this is why all the chicks love Dave.
Tanks, Cyn.
*fluffs Cynnie’s pillow
‘night!
>> See, this is why all the chicks love Dave.
Hey I didn’t want you to get hurty.
School night for Dave, beloved of chicks.
Nite kids.
*fluffs Dave’s pill…. no, wait, that just sounds very wrong.
*waves from doorway* ‘nite!

You all are slackers
Well, no shit.
It’s not like we hang out at IB.
What’s IB?
Duh
Innocent Bystanders is where funny goes to die.
Innocent Bystanders is where intellect goes to live.
*tosses head, pokes XB with handy keychain knife*
Yeah
You’re right there
I went on and looked at a 2008 thread about George Foreman, and there was Lippy in the comments!
TJ, you still here?
If so, how did you guess that the coal mines I was talking about were in western PA?
Well Lippy
I am an exploration geologist and studied coal for a long time
Hello? Lippy?
Plus we had spoken about Titusville and Venango County a while back
Oh, I’m back. Yeah, I guess you would know about that kind of stuff. 🙂
Yeah
I told you about the old 1800’s Western Pennsylvania lingo that is still used worldwide in the oilfield
Yes you did. I just don’t assume that people remember.
Maybe that’s why I repeat myself and shouldn’t.
I don’t remember much these days, but I remember oilfield stuff
Plus I always enjoyed western Pennsylvania
I do enjoy it here when people open up about their folks. etc
I’m pretty reticent about that, generally but shouldn’t be
It’s glorious in the spring, hot and humid in the summer, pleasant in the fall and cold as hell in the winter.
But I am very glad to have grown up there.
I always thought it was pretty
Plus, I’m very glad to see how much Pittsburgh has been revitalized
I’m pretty reticent about that, generally but shouldn’t be
Profanity, pron and such aside, this is a caring bunch of retards.
That’s quite true Lippy
And after Derp will come the Boobs
Like clockwork
Yeah, Pittsburgh was always “The Big City” for us, and it is beautiful driving out of the tunnel coming from the airport, isn’t it?
Heh, my sister calls the new football stadium ‘The Cheeto Bowl’ because of all the orange seats.
Yes. Well, it’s time to clock out and hit the sack. Goodnight, TJ.
Yes
I really enjoyed it, the last time I passed through
When I visited my aunt up there as a little kid ages ago. it was pretty horrible
But not anymore
Bonsoir, Lippy
Bonnes reves
Sweet dreams to you and everybody still here too.
There’s a brand new derp
But I don’t know it’s name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again
It’s big and it’s bland
Full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don’t do it here
