Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. This week is inspired by “Guardians of the Galaxy”. The reviewer for Time magazine called it a bratty Star Wars. Au contraire (“Tish, you spoke French!”), I was surprised by how much I liked it. I figured there would be a lot of in-jokes that only the comic book readers would get. Well, maybe there were, but I enjoyed this movie and would pay to see it again. So let’s listen to a song from the soundtrack first.
The lead is Chris Pratt.
Not only is he cute, but he lost 60 lbs getting ready for Guardians.
Dave Bautista plays the part of Drax.
Michael Rooker sounded familiar, so I had to look him up. He’s from Jasper, Alabama, and he was in “Tombstone“.
Benicio Del Toro looks much better here than he did as The Collector.
Last, but not least, the voice of Rocket Raccoon is Bradley Cooper.
I am Groot. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Nice job, Roamy!
I’ll….ummm……be in my bunk…..
TifW, I laughed at your “nude” comment. Wasn’t sure if that was a comment on the HHD models, a statement on your state of dress, or autocucumber.
Jay, I could have grabbed one of the pheasants yesterday easily. Stupidly easily if I’d bothered to grab some chicken scratch for bait.
I had the hardest time imagining Bradley Cooper as the raccoon – he’s got such a sweet face – but he did a fantastic job!
Rebecca REALLY liked the movie – we all did – she was laughing through the entire thing. She told us, “That was fun!” at the end.
Guess we know one of the things she’ll be getting for Christmas 🙂
What, no Dwayne Johnson (Groot)?
Jay’s dad?
BUNK!
Pretty much, tushar, except he wasn’t carrying a shotgun. Just walking along to kick them up, like a good dog!
Rain falling at a rate of close to an inch an hour. I’m gonna need a bigger boat.
we still have roads closed up here, cyn.
Jeez, Cariin, I just heard about that yesterday. Does your lake flood?
No. It floods downstream along the river, though.
And, FTR, we didn’t get flooding up here – it did rain but not as it did in the city.
It rained so hard, in such a short period of time, the pumps were overwhelmed and were unable to drain the underpasses, etc. Thus – 12 feet of water. I don’t know how many city basements were flooded. it’s probably going to be a mess to clean up.
Lots of radio guys were talking flooding in their basements yesterday.
I’m sore from Zumba.
Those tricky dance moves … get me every time.
Any guesses for teh Obama schedule for today? is today the day they do the “bike” ride?

I’ve decided that my home office needs this and a pad of some kind do do pushups and bridges on.
If I’m going to be working from home, I’m just going to work out all damn day.
And yes, I considered building my own from galvanized pipe. This is cheaper.

Hey, vagina eye!
Are you any better?
Yes. It’s improving.
I should be close to normal in a couple of days.
You should try Zumba, leon.
Not in my home office, Carin.
And also, no.
The cool thing about my switching to Zumba, is now Wiser can’t make fun of me anymore.
You’re going to lose all your hand calluses. Tsk.
Feel the burn.
No, I’ve realized that I had simply joined a cult.
No, I’ve realized that I had simply joined a cult.
Huh. Well. It’s a shame no one said anything or warned you of that.
Darn shame no one at all said anything. Tragedy, really.
So – quick review – I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO CROSSFIT ANYMORE, so any jokes made on my behave are now obsolete.
So it is impossible that I could have done a shit-tonne of lifting yesterday, and i am not sore in the least.
Zumba was very relaxing, and i can feel my muscles atrophy as I sit here.
I’m also toying with the idea of taking up the clarinet.
The Michigan Monsoon is moving through. Parts of Long Island got 12″ of rain.
You should do this workout, Carin: http://youtu.be/KutF8wPlk4Q
Crossfit does a lot of bodyweight moves.
Too bad I don’t do it anymore.
A lot of those moves are also a part of P90x and insanity.
Nope. I’m a zumba gal now.
Nope. I’m a zumba gal now.
Doesn’t sound like a cult at all. Nope.
I’m into underwater aerial barre fitness.
You should see my calves.
I’d rather see the women in your class.
Other than you, I mean.
You should try Zumba, MJ.
I’ll stick with Roomba.
I remember in one of my CE classes we learned how to calculate what size pumps, pipes, etc. to use in storm drainage systems. They talk in terms of inches/hour – most of the time more than 1″/hour is unusual – and they plan accordingly, based on calculated runoff, amount of concrete vs. open ground, etc.
All of the formulas they use have lots of factors on top of factors built in to accommodate extra-heavy rains, but when a lot of rain falls in a short amount of time, all bets are off.
Places along the Gulf Coast have to take things like hurricanes into account when planning their systems; I don’t know if they do anything up in your neck of the woods, though!
This cat is getting a workout on Shark Week!
(not THAT shark week, the ACTUAL Shark Week)
I had a chance to go to Zumba this week.
I declined.
yep. The amount of rain that fell per hour was just off the charts.
“Where official records are kept, at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, 4.57″ of rain fell. Rain in some communities totaled over 5″ and even 6″ in Berkley. Much of it fell in a short period after 5pm, as the rush hour was underway. Metro reported 1.24″ of rain in just 24 minutes during the 6 o’clock hour from slow-moving tropical-like storms. In about 140 years of record-keeping, only one day in Detroit was wetter. On July 31, 1925, 4.75″ of rain fell, causing 2 deaths and four million dollars worth of damage in 1925 dollars. ”
The cars who got stuck were basically in gridlock traffic, and then the flood trapped them. The pumps are often RIGHT there in the low lying areas, and one pump failed and a waterfall of water started pouring out.
Heh….Romulus
Yikes! Hope you guys are able to dry out soon –

Ummm….knockout game? Hello! Anyone ever hear about?

I always thought that the biggest difference between those who do crossfit and those who do zumba is that those who participate in zumba don’t constantly talk about it.
Huh.
Guess I was wrong.
The cool thing about my switching to Zumba, is now Wiser can’t make fun of me anymore.
Man, talk about posting a dog whistle.
I wouldn’t say no to a little Rhumba.
Sounds like Obama is having a wonderful vacation. Lots of golf. Beach . High dining.
I remember when we used to take vacations.
That was BO. Before Obama.

Don’t worry, wiser, we’re used to it.
Oh, quit your bellyaching, Wiser.
i give you material to work with.
My wife got bored with all the low intensity stuff like Zumba etc.
She has access to a university gym.
Now she is doing some lifting in a program called ‘body pump’, but that is not intense enough.
I told her that if she needs to do more squats, I will support her fully and stand right behind her.
Anybody interested in tackling a computer problem? For about the last four months, Chrome has been crashing at least once per day, sometimes 3-4 times. I’m at a loss, but I was able to capture the txt file for the error. Any takers?
Really the only cure for Zumba is precisely dosed methadone and a twelve step program. Crossfit is just a gateway drug.
Oh, quit your bellyaching, Wiser.
You see me complaining?
I’m sure some people can get fit doing Zumba, but most of the women who have told me they LOVE it … aren’t exactly fit for “selling” it an great form of fitness.
ANd the goofy skirts don’t help.

If you disable extensions in Chrome, does it still happen? Extensions can do weird stuff. I imagine you have updated your video drivers.
Alternatively you could try downgrading to an earlier version of Chrome to test for crashes.
You mentioned “beta-m.” Is this routine, or are you really using a beta? Chrome might be one of those things that’s perpetually in beta.
Video drivers? Well, la ti da.

She’s somewhat better, but the drs. intend to keep her overnight, then evaluate in the AM. Still having severe coughing jags that wear her right out. So she sleeps a lot.
I think she was really dangerously sick.
Went to Dicks and Dunhams and neither had a pull-up station worth buying. Amazon Prime will get it here Friday.
H/S, *any* pneumonia is dangerously sick. Do not be in a rush to get her out of there. And keep a sharp eye out for secondary infections and for any other health issues. For instance, XMom developed a-fib from her pneumonia, and that has caused a series of tertiary problems.

OOOOO, Ooooo I want to hear about the workout.
I haven’t done jack since last week.,
WELL – first we did 3 rep max of power squat cleans. Then 1 rep max of shoulder balance.
THEN, 20 of each for time. 5 burpees for every time you set the bar down. 95 lbs for men/ 65 lbs for women
thrusters (SYWM)
hang cleans
push press
overhead squat
front squat.
I don’t know how many burpees I ended up doing. I can only do so many push presses before i start jerking, so i think I did 15 burpees in that set alone.
Chrome also has a very long history of not playing well with Flash.

Simon & Schuster reject book that makes Obama/Bergdahl look bad.
While the U.S. Army weighs whether to bring charges against Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was freed earlier this year after spending nearly five years as a Taliban captive in Afghanistan, six of his former platoon mates are shopping proposals for a book and movie that would render their own harsh verdicts…
“I’m not sure we can publish this book without the Right using it to their ends,” Sarah Durand, a senior editor at Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, wrote in an email to one of the soldiers’ agents.

The essential truth about the last six years is the Obama label has been the greatest exercise of product branding ever. Presidential politics have become nothing but branding for the majority of voters.

There are now almost 1,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
Another 129 troops were sent to Iraq this week. Including 100 or so troops who are assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, a total of about 964 troops are now in the country.
Pentagon officials say the soldiers are not “combat troops,” but they are armed and can take self-defense measures.
Fucking neo-con warmonger Obama. I demand marches against the White House with papier-mâché puppets and street theater. Obama lied, protests died!

Where the heck is Code Pink, FFS?
Obama is only sending troops to murder Iraqis because he wants to avenge his father who abandoned him. It’s science. He’s working out daddy issues.
Also, he just wants Iraqi oil so we won’t have to rape the Dakotas for gasoline.
Oh, and he wants to provide fat logistics contracts to his cronies in GE or something.
Anyway, he’s worse than Hitler. I know this because of 2000-2008.

A woman who was handed a Senate seat in a safe Demotard state as payback from her party, who achieved nothing in that seat other than to line her purse with favors and campaign cash? A woman who has no talent for the work of governance but plenty of time to accrue political deference and whose only talent is retaining political power? A woman who lost to a sniveling race-baiting neophyte from Illinois only to beg him for the crumbs of power as SecState? Who as SecState bungled every task handed to her from the “overcharge” button to lying through her yellowed, rancid teeth about Youtube videos and Benghazi, asking “what difference does it make” about who was responsible for the death of several Americans and an ambassador? A woman who now, with exquisite doublethink, simultaneously claims foreign policy under her watch as SecState had nothing to do with her as if being SecState merely entailed the duties of a clerk, yet also wants to claim credit for being a bold leader in that same position?

I read that the Atlanta school system was overwhelmed with illegals trying to enroll. I know that after SB1070 we got a lot of illegals from AZ. Thanks, Cyn.
Well, if the muppet gets out to LA we might see if a tête-à-tête is possible.
I have kind of a freakish memory. Last night we started researching exceptions for Inventory. This AM, they didn’t have Inventory Maps when we first started correcting counts. I may have freaked a few people out by being able to navigate the Club without a Map just by working a handful of exceptions last night. I felt like a performing monkey. $20.
Jay, was it you who said you were looking for a bratwurst recipe? Try the one on Food 52. Only thing I would change is switch the caraway seed to coriander, and withhold half the salt until after grinding. Fry a piece and taste it before you add more salt to the mixture.

I made a chicken version modified from that recipe today. It is delicious, and very close. Very very close to the ideal.
Supergenius Chuck Hagel:
The Iraqi people, the government of Iraq, country of Iraq is now under threat from some of the most brutal, barbaric forces we’ve ever seen in the world today…
I recommended to the president, and the president has authorized me to go ahead and send about 130 new assessment team members up to northern Iraq in the Erbil area to take a closer look and give a more in-depth assessment
Because the smart way to respond to brutal barbarians is to set up an assessment team. If pushed, they can go so far as to make tentative recommendations, I’m sure. They might assess that ISIS ought to stop, or at least take a break.
I was just getting fish recipes from Food 52. Weird.
Facebook suspended an Australian transgender-rights activist’s account because one of her posts contained the phrase “Tranny Bingo” — which is apparently offensive.
I thought Tranny Bingo was at Rosetta’s house, every Friday night.
That site has some aggressive marketing behind it. I keep finding great recipes there on searches.
I wonder what the prize is at Tranny Bingo.
Never mind. No I don’t.
Not to be a debbie downer, but my mil has taken a turn for the worse. Liver cancer has spread. At least they tell us its not painful. She keeps having fluid fill in, so she has to have it drained.
Sorry, James.
Prayers, J’ames.
Ill check that one out laura, thanks!
Leon, you need a food blog.
This is my food blog.
Leon, recipe please!
This is sort of hand-wavy. I didn’t measure the coconut oil, just scooped out of the bucket until it looked like “enough”.
About 6 c of coconut oil.
16 oz of unsweetened shredded coconut
12 oz almond butter (least # of ingredients you can find)
6 oz chopped macadamias
8 oz chopped hazelnuts
8 oz cocoa powder (I used Nestle’s Toll House this time)
In a big pot, melt oil over low heat, stir in everything but cocoa until well-combined. Shut off heat and wait 5-10 minutes to allow some cooling. Add cocoa and stir again until fully incorporated. Ladle portions of mixture into smaller vessel and carefully spoon into silicone baking dishes or candy molds. Makes about 150 or so 1.25″ squares roughly half an inch thick. I calculated 232 net carbs (surprising amount of fiber in all that) for the whole recipe, so about 1.5g carbohydrate per candy.
Suet and candied beef?
I’m making pemmican next. Suet’s no good, though, you have to render to tallow first.
Prayers, Jay, sorry to hear it. Sympathies for your wife as well.
Sorry to hear about your MIL, J’ames.
Not to do a Sally Quinn here, but my FIL is hanging in there, and I don’t see how. Been on hospice care since Thanksgiving. We saw him last month, and the first words out of his mouth were to Rocketboy to get a haircut.
So sorry, Jay. Hugs to your dear wife.
Prayers, J’Ames.
Leon,
I tried to add your candy recipe to the Hostage Recipes blog and realized I don’t have access to do that.
**Glares at a few chosen people in a passive aggressive manner.**
Very sorry to read about your MiL; hugs to you and your bride, Jay.
Did anybody organize a bonfire of anybody else’s records and memorabilia because of their controversial comments about religion today?
I’ll go add it there, along with the “and then refrigerate for 2 hours before turning out. Keep refrigerated.” instructions.
I should go enter it into recipenutrition and see if it dies of awesomeness.
No. You scratched my CD.
So, my kids made new friends at the summer camp. A couple of them happen to be Indians.
One of my kids comes home, and true Hostage fashion announces: “I made some brown friends today.”
Rayciss. Anchor babies make me so proud!
One of my kids comes home, and true Hostage fashion announces: “I made some brown friends today.”
That’s terrifying. Are you going to be okay?
Added the recipenutrition estimated values. Reading from the labels, I think their calc undercounted the total carbs and the total fiber.
Terrifying would be having friends that are Dodger fans.
Or Irish.
One of my kids comes home, and true Hostage fashion announces: “I made some brown friends today.”
Same shit happened to me. A year or two later I’m underwriting about five quinceineras. (feel free to criticize my spanish spelling)
Sorry to hear about your mil, J’Ames.
Close enough, PG.
The brown people in my neighborhood approve. . . not too sure about the Koreans though.
Someone left a bag of apples on our doorknob. Look like Dixon Golden Delicious. We don’t know if it was a mistake or someone is being neighborly. Really need a food taster.
If you don’t have a food taster, perhaps you ARE the food taster, oso.
I may break down and eat one tomorrow. I SAW SNOW WHITE!!! I know things about apples. THINGS!!!
I thought you were Snow White, Oso?!!
I’m pretty white. These apples look really good.
Oso, you bring the apples inside, put them in a bowl, and tell Dan “I picked up these apples.”
Then you wait.
Are there 7 tiny miners anywhere near you?
Scott, he was with me when we found them on the doorknob.
7 tiny miners, no. 2 fat wieners…
Good evening Gentlefolk!
Life is good being on sick leave.
Actually gotten more done around the house in the last 3 days than I have in the last 3 months.
Wife is happy.
That MAY make me happy later tonight.
Thanks for the recipe, Leon.
2 fat wieners…
*cough* phrasing…
You’re welcome Tushar. It could and probably should be done much smaller. Generally coconut oil and cocoa powder are all you really need to make these, but I like to add some nuts and solid coconut for texture.
Are we supposed to know why Phatty is on sick leave?
Tinea cruris?
He’s got an impacted bullwhip.
Scrotal inflation gone wrong.
Cranial/Rectal Impaction.
Really? You guys are doing this?
Ebola.
They are at it again in Ferguson. These people must not have to get up and go to work in the morning. (I denounce myself.)

Sick Leave

Heh ASU player wants to get drafted by the Rams.
GO asked what I thought about the asteroid capture mission and the science panel calling it pointless. It seemed like one of Bolden’s ideas without a whole lot to back it up. I know one of the Johns Hopkins scientists that article quoted – she’s worked on MESSENGER, the mission to Mercury, so she’s not some policy wonk. The whole thing reminded me of this:
blergy blergy.
Got a fat tip tonight and ‘you gave us EXCELLENT service” tonight.
Always nice to hear. It’s kind sad, though, when half your money is from ONE tip.
but thanks!
I’m going to go on a rioting spree next time i get stiffed, though.
Hahaha Then a Miracle Occurs.

Really? You’re just going to leave those hanging out here like that?
I really want to make flatbread.
I need some new music.
I want a new drug.

Ugh, It’s surprisingly humid here today. Spent all day driving Xmom around, and feeling like shit while doing it. And worrying that if I’m sick, I might pass it along to Xmom.
A cold front came through today it was 98 yesterday with 90% humidity.
95 today but only 70%
Here ya go XBrad – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zpOMYRi0w so you can feel special.
Why do you hate me, Jenn?
Aussie bubblegum rap? Really?
Cyn,
It’s an old pilot joke.
‘Why are you on Sick Leave?’
Well, sir, I have a vision problem.
‘What the hell is wrong with your eye?’
Sir, I just can’t see coming to work.
In my case I have an infected tear duct. It sucks.
Flew the last two days of my last trip with it because I assumed it was allergies.
On antibiotic drops and pills now.
http://duffelblog.com/Tprdg
you said new not good – how bout this then not new but a lot of people aren’t aware of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVVpZM8sFSg
Xbrad,
That was very funny!
I already have that album. And you recommended that song to me 2 years ago.
Phat, TDB usually has one really funny post a week.
Did I? What about this one? The song isn’t new but this is the best of the remixes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHKFb8HLgXE unless you like nightcore.
That may just become the official music video of H2.
Yay! I’ve made an impact. I was just going back and looking at old posts since I am thinking about starting up the blog again. Hard to believe how much things have stayed the same.
I don’t recall anyone issuing you a hall pass. Where have you been, whatchya been up to?
Jenn,
Go back and listen to ‘Baby Chaos’
Old late 90’s rock.
‘Adrenalin’ and ‘Ignoramus’ are still awesome workout songs.
Oh, around. Went to work at Microsoft for awhile. Mr. X is back from the country that cannot be named (Dubai) and we are back together again. Audrianna is still around. All and all everything is homeostasis as Penny would say. Just quite blogging because it was too damn depressing and I was having a few bad experiences with some other bloggers.
I went to a lot of booze fueled parties in college, and never once did all the girls strip down to sexy little bra and panty outfits and engage in lite lesbo stuff.
//damn cow college
Jenn.
Best Aussie band ever:
http://www.thechevelles.com/
Well I probably would have saID ac/dc because i am an old woman but i like the chevelles.
Hoodoo Guru’s would also have been accepted.
Yep, but them cows were damn good fucking!
*amirite?

Jenn,
I’ve been here for a long time (some breaks for military deployments).
I blame alcohol, but I don’t remember you. What town are you in?
I’m in STL. Also known as ‘New Fallufah’ right now.
I am in Seattle. It’s been 6 or 8 months since I was on last. I was fairly regular for about a year a couple years ago. Basically I am the hobo aunt who posp in every once in a while cause hell and then leave while everyone else cleans up the mess. 🙂
I was just in Seattle this week!
Usually stay at the Sheraton on Union downtown.
Get to Seattle at least once a month.
When I came back from the military I made a deal with the blog: If the airline sends me to your city and you can make it to lunch/dinner, the first one is on me.
So far I’ve had lunch with Andy (BOS), Cyn (PHX) and Sean (SNA).
Great times. Jenn, would be great to do the same with you if your up for it.
Talk to Xbrad and the others. I’m not a stalker/crazy person.
Oh crap, now I’ve let the window open.
OK, there was that one time in Vegas.
The record was expunged!
Could be fun. I still owe XBrad a beer or two also. Maybe now that I am out of seclusion it will happen.
I don’t know having a stalker might be fun. I keep leaving the curtains open trying to lure the neighborhood guys in but that doesn’t seem to work.
Xbrad owes me a few beers for all of the free content I will someday get around to writing for his blog.
Seriously, I’m almost done with the ‘Yeltsin Story’.
Jenn, If you’re one of the 3 people who reads his blog, I’ve written the two Russian posts.
Jenn,
Clothing, you’re doing it wrong.
So far as I know, Phat’s the only H2’er to have puked on a deer.
Citizen’s,
Off to bed. Girls go back to school tomorrow so I have to wake up obscenely early, act perky for 30, then go right back to bed.
You cool kids (and sean) have a great day!
I read it everyday, he was actually who turned me on to this place. He was also the first blogger to link me after I made some smart ass comment about the Army at his place. There has been a lot of Russia stuff on his page lately what two? I have to see if your blogging meets my
highnon-existent standards 🙂Xbrad,
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
OK, for the deer it was probably the worst day ever.
For me, typical Sunday.
Phat’s opening salvo:
http://xbradtc.com/2013/12/07/the-one-with-the-monkey/
I should wear more clothing? You can’t mean less I don’t want to blind the poor guys.
That was hilarious.
Perhaps pictures sent to transphat88 gmail would help me evaluate your clothing choices?
Perhaps pick the ensembles most likely to attract young boys that are looking for the ‘MILF Experience’?
Xbrad, I’ll have the Yeltsin story up this weekend.
Not as funny, but still funny.
phat – got your email, sent you one back just now. Will phatmom be joining our group for dinner next week?
OK I am back http://conservativeshemale.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/im-back-again/
Took me a bit to find the actual editorial cartoon (Irish Times) from my Yeltsin trip to Ireland.
This was back in 1994, but I found it.
Check Xbrad’s blog next week for the post.
Priority one is working on my old my unit’s Fantasy Football League.
Once I get that done I will finish Yeltsin.
Jenn, no comment on how amazingly gay the banya story was?
You’re really not paying attention.
Jenn,
The Banya Story:
http://xbradtc.com/2013/12/10/the-banya-in-the-arctic-circle-3/
It takes a lot to tweak my incredibly gay radar 🙂 and the story about the hotel, well I can relate from personal experience.
Jenn,
Glad you’re back! You know that we don’t judge and still want to get you drunk? Hope that’s cool.
Unless you’re in rehab. FUCK!
Unless you’re not into dudes anymore. FUCK!
Unless you’re not into chicks. FUCK!
Eh, regardless of what you’re into always know that Hostages will always be into you.
Welcome Back!
-Phat
Now I’m really going to bed.
I judge. I judge the shit out of people. All the time.
Like that asshole going 37 in a 50mph zone in front of me today.
I judged him and found him guilty of severe assholery and condemned him to having his AC conk out.
Nope same ol’ Jenn. Just a couple years older and a little more sedate.
… a little more sedate.
Don’t look at me. I haven’t roofied anyone in a long time.
LOL. I have, how do you think I keep my bf from running away.

well I want him intact just incapicitated enough not to flee. (if he sees this stuff I may be in trouble :-P)
I’m just about done. This Russian lesbian pron isn’t going to download itself.
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to derp my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Morning, children.
That video of the booze-soaked party full of hookers needed trigger warnings for epileptics, recovering alcoholics, and recovering pr0n addicts. And the music sucked.
http://i.imgur.com/LryRnQD.jpg?1
I guess unlike XBrad, my college-era regrets include none of that crap.
I think I’m going to procrastinate slightly on worky worky and get a Thursday poat up.
Noo pote.
