Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Monday was a “technology expo” which turned out to be more like a dog-and-pony show for the suits from DC and a day away from work for the rest of us. Apparently some people *said* they were going to the expo and took the rest of the day off. My boss asked us who could verify our presence there, and since I had manned (womanned?) the booth most of the day, I decided to be a smart-ass and started rattling off names. After I’d named about ten people, another co-worker interrupted with, “Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me!” Everyone over 40 laughed. So here’s the song of the day, from 1974 so it fits Oso’s theory.
I don’t really have a theme for the day. I have 20 minutes to throw this together, so let’s see who’s in the HHD folder.
Beisbol. Bad stuff about the Mets.
One of the Moronettes posted this one.
From the same website as the previous. Not so much hunky as hawt.
A little black and white.
And last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

MJ had a point about ocean exploration.
It’s infinitely cheaper than space, and the possible monetary rewards are much higher — at least in the sense of more immediate ROI. There are giant swaths of methane and minerals just laying on the surface if you know where to look.
We can’t go deep in the ocean, it will let all the global warming out.
Science!
What is Oso’s theory?
All the more reason.
Maybe they can find the missing Gulf oil spill.
I sure hope Car in makes it out of the last poat.

My customer VPN isn’t letting me connect today. Bad omen for Wednesday productivity.
I haven’t seen this post but my guess is that it makes CYN feel funny in her bikini area.
Anyone else besides me not getting new post emails? If not, and it’s only me, fuck all y’all. Oh, and good morning!
New post emails?
Our long-term strategy to get rid of Jimbro is going according to plan …
Yeah, I clicked somewhere once and started getting emails notifying me of new posts. I looked for the button after pulling a Car in and spending time on a dead poat and wondering where everyone was.
OOps, did I post that?
Ignore my comment Jimbro. I was just JOKING.
*think he bought it?
Don’t put all your chickens in one basket is all I’ll say!
That must come with the paid subscription.
WordPress gets less predictable every time they fix it. It may have just lost the settting in your profile, try setting it up again, Jimbro.
Or all the chickens in a pitcher, either, amirite?
BUNK!
Sometimes I put all the eggs in the blender.
Soooo… the doc in NYC lied about self-quarantine, the nurse is now in Maine and refuses to self-quarantine after a few days, and quietly, in the wee hours this morn, the CDC is admitting that the virus actually CAN be spread through droplets. Plus the recent studies showing that the virus can live on surfaces for anywhere from hours to five weeks.
I’m so very glad that Obama has this all under control. Yeppers.
As an earth scientist, I can tell you that of all our farts eventually wind up in the abyssal depths of the ocean basins.
Fart scrubbers.
*applied for one brazilian dollar grant, gets it*
Cyn, and we really should ship in foreign aid workers if they catch the obola, at a cost to taxpayers of $500,000 per, because … ?
Ebola is now his legacy. He will be remembered for ISIS, ebola, stagflation, and expanding inequality.
Carter only had one of those, he’s got to be pleased.
The nurse’s boyfriend is a student.
How would you like to share a class with him?
Don’t forget 10 trillion of debt.
They’ll never tag him with that, Scott, debts only matter when the president is a Republican. The rest is actually getting reported on.
Bush’s last deficit with a GOP congress was 100 billion (in the middle of the Iraq war). After Pelosi came on board, it ballooned to 700 billion, then trillions.
I keep reminding my lib friends of this. They don’t remember it for some reason.
Those were Bush’s deficits, Jay, he was president. Duh.
Also, do we have a budget right now, or are we still on CRs?
Students at UMFK (UMaine Fort Kent) are nervous with him being in class. Chief of police in Fort Kent has been bombarded with calls. Our nurse manager has been walking around the office reminding the techs of all the isolation protocols and locating supplies. Every day I get 2 or 3 new emails with Ebola information from either the big CDC, Maine CDC or the hospital. Remain calm, all is well.
UMFK, things that sound dirty
I like how one nurse in Dallas wasn’t happy with the CDC protocols, and self-quarantined herself. I believe Jimbro’s better half said something similar.
The nurse in Maine seems like a social justice warrior.
I’m shocked — shocked! — that a woman in a female-dominated medical field who’s likely also a union member in a blue state would be a SJW.
Seriously, totes surprised.
He has rights, Jimbro. He will not be denied.
But those military folks returning from infected areas? They’re gonna sit their ass in barracks for a few weeks.
Do you find yourself reviewing your procedures, Jimbro? I know I’d be overanalyzing every single thing I did. Not sure how productive I’d be.
They better be getting their ballots.
Whole effin’ thing might be a ruse to keep them from voting in a few key districts.
I won’t be worried until the first Ebola case in Dixville Notch is reported.
Read this, and substitute your own state or federal campaigns for the names Ernst (GOP) and Braley.
Is this really the story of Obama?
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/10/bruce-braley-and-the-year-everything-went-wrong-for-democrats/381929/
Other than doing a lot of handwashing and using alcohol gel regularly in between hand washes there is not much I can do. It really comes down to dumb luck until they know there is an actual case. That’s when you start seeing lots of call ins for “illness” designed to avoid the infected people as has happened in NY and TX.
And let’s not forget that the SJW in Maine also works (worked?) for the CDC.
A fact that has been conveniently scrubbed from all of her social media sites.
I’m thinking she was planted by the Obama administration, but then again, I’m one of them cray-cray Tea Party hicks in flyover country.
I think of the stories about nurses or techs with TB working among sick patients for weeks or months before they’re discovered. That could happen here and it would be the roll of the dice whether I was near that person when they were spreading their droplet nuclei.
I thought western Texas was flyover country.
She is definitely a SJW. Her role in the whole Africa trip is ill defined too. I don’t know if she was actually doing nursing or even if she is a nurse. Somewhere I read that her position was administrative or organizing the efforts. Also not clear on where she lives full time or whether she is on the road a lot and chooses to settle in Maine with her pegboy between trips.
I really do ‘get’ the Civil Liberties issue of forced quarantine on these HC workers, but when Public Health is at issue… well, you know. FTS.
The other issue that seems to be happening is that by NOT stopping flights and No mandatory quarantining, ALL black people and ALL HC workers everywhere are now suspect in my (and probably others’) eyes.

Just as many of us predicted. When you elevate an unqualified person to such an office basically because he’s black, who then does a shitty job, many are going to assume his suckage is because of his race.
J’ames, 1974 produced more earworms than any other year. Ever. Science!!!

Not disagreeing with you so much as clarifying here, but when I see a black person now, I am forced to wonder if they’re from the Ebola region and there’s been no quarantine imposed on them.
Likewise, when I go to take my sons to get their flu shots, I am forced to wonder if the nurse giving them their shots has just returned from a trip to West Africa to volunteer their medical services, again no mandatory quarantine.
The lack of response or control by this Administration has caused my view of groups, races, and classes of people to change to one of concern for my life and the lives of my family.
The same now holds for all the people from south of our boarder: are you here legally and did you bring E-D68 or TB or measles etc with you??

Thanks, Jimspur
since I live basically in the middle of nowhere, I don’t really think that. Us country hicks don’t go so much for that doctors w/o boarders in Africa stuff. People here are more focused on helping local peps, since there is a lot of need for that too.
I thought that too Car in. we were in the news for the first 2 cases refueling in Bangor. I figured that’s as close as Ebola would get to here. Fort Kent where that lady is shacking up is literally North Buttfuch…across the river is the warm southern border of Canada.
During Balloon Fiesta, everytime I’d hear a TX accent, I would wonder about the 6 degrees of Ebola Duncan and try not to touch anything the tourists had touched. Lots of African healthcare workers here, too. We already had the MS13 and the border diseases.
*whispers, “Balloon Fiesta”*

I love the smell of coco butter in the morning. It reminds me of Mazatlan.
Thanks for the primer on Social Justice Warriors X. I’ve got to channel my inner Mel Brooks and write a script treatment about those fuchers.
You need to rephrase that, chumpo:
I love the smell of coco butter in the morning. Smells like… Mazatlan.
Wear a hat and stand next to a surfboard while saying that.
I love the smell of your mom in the morning. Smells like……Metamucil…..and menopause.
We have a customer named Ringo Staro.
Guess what state he lives in.
That cash register kicked my ass, took me 5 hours to crate it.
Why not 6? Overachiever.
Five hours?
Lame.

No you don’t. You made that up just to see if we’re paying attention.

Dammit, Herr, I just cleaned that after the cat puked on it.
Take the Nature’s Miracle and some paper towels and think about what you did while you fix it.

Oh, well in that case, he won’t feel this.

Scott, in Muskegon I visited a plant that makes engines and transmissions for Bradley Fighting vehicles, M60 tanks, M88 tank recovery vehicles.
The shop they had to build crates was pretty impressive.
No, but there are side alleys.
MJ,
Check ur dbl mail.
Asshole.
The place I use is probably like that, Dave.
Sounds like a shooting range in there.

Did anybody mistake anybody else’s normal clothes for a Halloween costume today?
I said I was sorry about that twice already, Sean.
Did anybody mistake anybody else’s normal clothes for a Halloween costume today?
Yeah. Do I get extra points if it was raciss? The woman was some sort of African from Africa wearing traditional dress.
Technically she’s some sort of American from Africa because she’s married to one of guys at Warren AFB. We chatted while waiting in line at the store but I never got around to asking where she was from.
OMG. that’s hilarious, Jewstin.
Did you walk up to her and ask ‘what are you supposed to be?’
It wasn’t quite that horrifying, Laura. I saw her in the parking lot wearing a super colorful dress and headscarf with a canvas shopping bag and thought ‘That’s weird. I thought Halloween was on Saturday or something.’
Then she stepped in line behind me at the register and I died of mortification.
did a Military plane just crash in Calif?
I hope she didn’t spew droplets on you.
Dunno, Tush. Glancing outside, I don’t see anything.
Then again, it’s a pretty big state.
Actually, on the news right now, they’re saying it was a civilian aircraft with a civilian pilot near a naval base in Ventura County.
That’s the third plane from ATAC in 2-1/2 years. Word is the pilot didn’t make it. Same company as NepLex.
The last plane they lost, right after Lex, was also a Hunter at Pt. Mugu.

We celebrated by going to Cabela’s. I got a 2-man deer blind, a chair, and a block of minerals+molasses, and she got fudge. And I paid off the second mortgage with my life insurance money.
Yay married life.

Maybe Leon’s in his two-man tree stand already?
Have I mentioned the kitties lately? Oh they are so cute. They just play for hours.
Hahaha!!!
Muppetraper. Hahaha!
Two man tree stand.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
So, Oso’s not here, but have i mentioned that just about everyone of our kitchen /messican staff is a serious alcoholic? I saw one at the grocery store returning the biggest bag of returnables, and he was obviously in the midst of the DTs – shaking, etc.
I mentioned the big bag, and he laughed “well, you know we messicans like to drink”.
many drink all day on the job.
I read that as muppet trapper.

When I was a dishwasher/busboy in the 80’s it was coke and speed for drugs. The booze was after hours when the younger staff was gone. The owner had a seriously red nose.
So, comments on facedouche – a “friend” (and people liked her status) said that she wishes she could block all the political stuff on facebook. Because they know their own mind and don’t need anymore information.

And it’s a ground blind rather than a tree stand. I don’t want to fall out of a tree.
Overslept by an hour. Now I get to rush around getting ready before I go to work.
Or not. I may just go in late and stay later.
And all this time I thought that a “two man tree stand” was a yoga pose.
