I should say a day late and a dollar short, but I’m writing this poat on my birthday, so it counts. Good morning and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. You’re going to see some repeats today, but they are quality re-runs, I assure you.
First, of course, the music. I got the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 1 for my birthday. We’ll save “Hooked on a Feeling” for later.
Wow, I literally have a 100 Mb of HHD on my computer, and that’s after a crash a couple of years ago. Decisions, decisions. Oooh, a smile *and* a dimple.
It’s not Thorsday, but close enough.
A black and white.
One of my all-time favorites.
This one always reminds me of Patty Ann.
Last, but not least, a new one of Mike Rowe that a Moronette kindly posted for me on FB.
That’ll get my heart rate up.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I see you’re new here. Yassee, on Wednesday, we have HHD. On Monday, it’s the Tucker show. And Friday, we delve into the sick recesses of MJ’s libido.
You’re welcome.
And on Wednesday morning, we KEEEEEL poats!

HS, what do the M protesters mean by the AD being more “Corporate than collegiate”? I thought raising money was the AD’s job?
What the students fail to acknowledge is that their corporatist parents are the ones making it possible for them to protest the corporatist AD.
And don’t let the reports fool you. There were nowhere near 1,000 protesters. From the photos I saw, there were more people than that at my wedding.
The outrage being directed at Brady Hoke and Dave Brandon is due to Michigan’s 2-3 record. If they were 4-1 none of this would be happening.
The concussion incident should be seriously investigated, and people should be held accountable. On the other hand why are we not hearing anything about the Minnesota player who made the late hit with a helmet to helmet lunge? That fucker should be suspended.
The whole thing is about money, money, money, and it stinks to high heaven. College football is NFL-lite, and getting worse.
THX That is what I was thinking. Just dominating the Sports Talk radio. ESPN has been pimping it like crazy. The concussed kid will be investigated, but I don’t think it rises to a termination offense. That being said, if Hoke beats the Buckeyes, all will be forgiven.
Hahahaha

Great choices, Roamy! I’ll be in my bunk…..

THANKS OBAMA!!!
My usual plan of avoiding all social contact is starting to look better and better.
Also, has anybody shopped at a WinCo supermarket? Like? Dislike?
We have a WinCo nearby: shopped there Once. I seem to remember it’s a cash/check/debit only set-up.
So is Costco. Not an issue for me.
The nearest one is like 8 miles away, but mom wants me to try it.
Eh. As long as they sell booze.
WinCo has great produce and their bulk-spices are 10% the cost of the big-names.
Things like boneless-skinless chicken and shredded cheese are about the same as Safeway or Albertsons. You can save a bunch, if you know what the other stores prices are…
Thanks, Chrispy.
**glares at Cyn**
Aldi takes debit cards here. That’s probably like WinCo.
Cyn shops at Whole Paycheck with Hotspur.
My daughter started going to TTU in ’10. Part of being a dutiful father is going to parents wknd and attending a football game. I’ve said for the past four years, only about half tongue in cheek, that Tech games are actually four hour long comercials which are occasionally interrupted by random football plays. Their “big screen” scoreboard spends more time showing commercials than it does replays or cheerleader cleavage or coaches spitting. D1 college football is professional football in scope. These professional teams just happen to be loosely affillilated with institutions of higher learning. I played college football 30+ years ago and the way it’s evolved since just sickens me.
I say all that and then I say this. I’m two team parlaying Baylor and Oklahoma as soon as I get to Vegas tomorrow.
Given the collapse of the Patriots I’m coming to realize I’ve enjoyed watching college football more than pro so far this year. Since I went to a D3 school and have no loyalties there’s no one team that’s “gotta win” and I can choose under dog or power house at will.
*jiggles handle*

Patriots killed it.
So, that wagon who headed up the Secret Service has resigned.

I didn’t put money on my Chiefs. Against your Patriots. Thought I’d just be drinking buckets of beer and enjoying the game. Never expected to win.
Did the Obama administration’s “Life of Julia” include anything about her resigning as the first female head of the Secret Service after several embarrassing security gaffes which could have endangered the President of the United States?
#WarOnWymyn!!!!!!!!
Hunh. It seems that Patient Zero in Texas couldn’t have ~not~ known that he’d been exposed.

Most excellent and yummy poat, Roamy — the best ever!
*awards Roamy 12 attentive poolboys, two at a time*
MMMMmmmm, bunkity bunk bunk.
Wow, slow day.
Not known? He carried a victim by the legs.
The women are in their bunks.
He knew; it was all around him.
Just came from the pulmonologist. This is what he thinks HotBride may have. He’s doing a lung scope procedure on Monday to get a better look.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium-intracellulare_infection
It has a cool common name: Lady Windermere’s Disease, named after an Oscar Wilde character.
Heh, Fox talking head just called the CDC the Center for Denial and Confusion.
That’s what my dad has, Hotspur.
They thought it was tuberculosis at first, it’s related.
Seriously?
If they can get a definitive diagnosis of *something* H/S, that’s good news. It’s a lot easier to treat something when you know what something is.
Yes, seriously. That is what he got. He was laid up in a hospital in Indiana when we went on vacation last March. They swore it was TB, but no one has that, right? Sure enough, they came back with that disease, and he was on oxygen and major antibiotics. 4 huge pills at a time major, that is, for 6 months.
He just got off the daytime oxygen, only uses it at night now.
Yay – hopefully a step in the right direction to get Hotbride well!
Wow, six months. I’m not going to tell her that.
That’s just for the antibiotics. My dad is in his 80s, so it will hit him harder.
She’s on FMLA from her job, but that only lasts 3 months. Not sure they’ll hold her job another 3, plus she’s already been off 2 1/2 which doesn’t count toward the 3.
Ok, I’m buying a new shower head:
Recently, M. avium has been found to deposit and grow in bathroom shower heads from which it may be easily aerosolized and inhaled.[2]
from the wiki post HS just put up
What XBrad said. Better that they understand what’s going than randomly throwing drugs at it.
If it’s that, it’s better news, cuz it’s bacterial, and that means they can kill it. It’s resistant, but not invincible.
I’m reading an article on how to reduce college costs, and there’s this gem. “Many public universities are so crowded that the average student takes five to six years to get a degree, as opposed to the four years it takes at the better private colleges.” Sounds like bullshit to me, who wrote this crap? “Donald R. Eastman III is president of Eckerd College, a private liberal arts college in St. Petersburg.” Ah.
‘Spur, doesn’t the coop love her and what she’s done? They might make an exception for her. Plus, even if she’s on antibiotics for six months doesn’t mean she’ll be down for that entire time.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/09/15/us-showers-germs-idUSTRE58E03U20090915
50 showerheads showed 30% harbored the bacteria. Yeah, that sounds like a reputable study. And from 2009.
*puts shower head back on
Might as well soak it in some bleach, rinse, then some CLR while you have it off.
Or go ahead and install new.
http://www.theworldsbestever.com/pornshower.jpg
This is actually SFW and kinda cool.
What Cyn said. We just use white vinegar, but the bleach, rinse, CLR sounds better.
Better check her prostate just to be sure.
I already had them do that.
HS, hope HB is on her way to recovery.
From the Wikipedia article:
And then all of the literary snobs pile on about how the character of Lady Windemere is being besmirched, blah, blah, blah…..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium-intracellulare_infection
Hope HB feels better soon – like XBrad and Oso said, knowing that what you have actually has a name is a step in the right direction. Even if “what” you have sucks eggs…..
Well, he’s not sure. That’s the reason for the scope procedure. They’ll knock her out, go in, look around, get swabs for study, then rinse her out with saline, and let us know what they find.
I think she’s not going to be a happy camper after all of that is done.
He did give her the reassurance a few times that he doesn’t suspect cancer. “No, really, I don’t think it’s cancer.” (I think you should only tell a person that once.)
And then there’s this:

Naw, it needs to be said more than once; it doesn’t always get through the first time. It’s also part of the reason that I am usually with my mom when she goes in for her twice a year checks with the oncologist – it’s easy to miss some of the discussion.
BTW, I like your new toy, Hotspur.

Continued Prayers, HS. Today is the Feast Day of St Therese. I’ve been petitioning to her for HB for a few weeks now.
Hunh. It seems that Patient Zero in Texas couldn’t have ~not~ known that he’d been exposed.
And he decided to just hop a plane to family here. To get away from all the sickness or to insure he would get better healthcare.
He had to have had a passport, right?
The Liberians have been hiding family members and trying to escape the outbreak from the beginning. Our “Special” relationship with Liberia makes it really scary. Even on the story Cyn linked, little Mercy had to leave with her mother. African friends think that the CIA purposely unleashed ebola so they could test the cure. Serious.
IN IN IN not on.
Pepe has been busy. He just posted a pic on FB. Using a loader to fix the road that was washed out. Wearing his Animosity Intl tee.
Thanks for that update on Pepe.
Osita, I took Therese as my confirmation name.
Thanks, y’all.
Chief is standing me up. Evidently he prefers to spend his last night in town with family instead of hanging out with me at the ghetto bar.

I took Your Mom as my Confirmation name.
Apparently today was wear pink for breast cancer awareness at my work and wear blue and yellow for Downs Syndrome awareness at Mr. RFH’s company.
Co-worker has a “Save second base” shirt. One of these days, I’m going to introduce him to H2.

Hahahahaha. Hotspur, you’re a Papist, aren’t you? Seriously, what name did you pick?

Evening blumpkin lovers and givers.

Why Flounder?
Why not?
I was confirmed as a 4 yr old when the Bishop was visiting Lincoln County. My Mom chose Cecelia for me. My sister was named for St Therese. If you ever go to Maui, St Therese is a beautiful church. Lots of flowers. The view can’t be beat.
HS, what is your middle name?
Cool. My FIL picked Aloysius so his initials would spell LEAF.
The malaise speech still sounds bad even after 35 years.
Without knowing HS’s middle name he’s GAP right now.
People really need to pay attention to their initials. Some people automatically make acronyms out of them.
If the malaise speech had been more manly, Jimmeh would’ve been re-elected. Bwah ha ha
My middle name is Longfellow.
Did anybody ask anybody else to be the spokesperson for their new chlamydia medication today?
No.

How you doin’?
Democrat candidate for state attorney general insists he is pro-life and pro-gun. Do his Democrat masters know this?
AUGH!!!! Stupid medical team. FiLs cognitive problems were from the pain meds. He is doing well and needs more clothes brought from home for rehab. You called us in Las Vegas for that!!!!! Very thankful.
Roamy, he’s playing the old Dem semantics game. Abortion should have “reasonable” restrictions (none) and guns should have “reasonable” restrictions (absolute ban and confiscation).

“Verso mill in Bucksport to close by year’s end, 570 employees to lose jobs”
When I look out across the river I can see the lights from the chimneys at this mill. They are a major employer around here and the town it’s in derives just under half their annual budget from property taxes on the mill.
Sucks.

Yes. They encourage lying.
I am almost completely burnt out on being in rooms with other human beings, and I have two more days of it.
And you complain about working from home. By yourself.
You’re an enigma, Leon. A riddle, wrapped in meatza, wrapped in bacon, wrapped in mystery.
I mostly complaining that my office and coworkers were going away. I hadn’t realized until this week how much working as an isolate had grown on me.
And I should re-phrase, I’ve spent most of the last 3 days in Agile sprint planning meetings. I have two more to come. No week at my old office included 20 hours of meetings in 3 working days.
It’s enough to make anyone crave hermit status.
Dude, perspective.
You’ve been out of the office for like 4 days. You’ve been in meetings for 3 days. I realize this is the holocaust of work environments but you’re going to make it.

I haven’t been east of Atlanta since 1984, not counting flying to and from Germany.
I actually haven’t gone to my office much in the last month or so. The difference now is that I can’t. Or at least I won’t be able to after tomorrow, but I won’t be home ’til Friday.
Look, I’m just lamenting that I’m having to deal with people rather than things. It’s a personality thing.

I’ve been asking for his prayers for awhile now.
I’ve considered getting a print of this for the house.
I’m tired of fucking with my IE 7.0 or whatever the fuck it is and am trying out Google Chrome. How you like me now?
That is awesome, Leon.
Well shit……..that was quick.
I’ve been to that chapel, Leon. It’s considered the beginning of the Renaissance. Scrovegni built it as penance for his father, who was notorious enough to be mentioned in Dante’s Inferno.
There isn’t a lot of art of Joachim, his series is excellent.
I wonder if his dad is part of the reason Dante had to flee Florence after he published it.
And he decided to just hop a plane to family here. To get away from all the sickness or to insure he would get better healthcare.
And hang around with his family, including the children.
What I don’t get is why, first time he went to the hospital, (the time they sent him home with antibiotics,) he didn’t say, “Hey, a bunch of people I’ve been in close contact with have died agonizing deaths from Ebola, maybe you should look into that.”
I mean, heckofa job, selfish and stupid guy.
He did tell the first nurse that saw him.
She did not pass it on.
The others that handled that girl are all dead.
He probably will be, too, if he’s not already…

I used Uber to go to the airport a few days ago and the driver told me he had just been in Africa for 21 days.
I realize that Africa is pretty big but that didn’t stop me from wondering how bad it would hurt to jump out of a moving car.
The chance that there’s an Ebola outbreak in the US is 100%, not 0%.
How bad is the outbreak? That’s up for grabs.
Happy Birthday Roamy

Speaking of hotel ice, I just had several days of Dan intoning “Oso’s real name’ accepts the ice bucket challenge” and following up by pretending to throw ice bucket contents on me in the shower.

Crap. Aids will probably fuck up my gainz.
Well crap… there’s a patient now in isolation in Honolulu with the possibility of teh ebola.
M O O N spells ebola.
FiLs cognitive problems were from the pain meds.
hmmm, that’s really interesting. I’ve noticed something like that in the past couple of years but sort of half-figured it was the condition, not the meds. I dunno.
It’s sometimes like there’s a layer or a partition between you and the words you want to say. Or you forget what a conversation is about right in the middle of it, or what you are trying to say halfway through a sentence. It’s odd.
What were we talking about again?
Anyway Osita, glad they figured out what it was and that it’s reversible.
Good thing I ordered steroids from Turkey.
And thanks for the eye mask, Cyn. Night sweet dreams.
Coldest water I could get out of the tap was room temp, though.
At least it was one of the machines that generates and drops ice on demand. If it was just a big bin of ice I’d have snubbed it.
Thanks, Lippy. We were really expecting bad news and trying to figure out how to explain to MiL. SiL is a pharmacist. She went into the meeting wanting a list of all meds, but the team had already figured out the pain meds.

But yet last night? she still gets a good section.
I honestly think she’s afraid Lucky is going to offer me a job in management, so is trying to keep me in my place. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN MANAGEMENT. none. I’m one of their best servers, etc, bla bla bla bla (not bragging) so this her way of showing she has power over me because she’s an insecure bitch.
