Oh my.
My presents were a little late this year. Thanks, Cyn.
<> (from drudge)
it explains a lot about this chat room
‘Dystextia’: Gibberish texts sound stroke alarm
and my issues
I may have to give myself a Nobel and an iPad for this poat.
Good morning, cool kids!
*pats JAM2 on the head and gives him a cookie; puts his dystextia writings up on the fridge with a gold star*
hi cyn!
Welcome, Gabe. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
off to work for me….
later-
I see what you did there, thanks for leaving me on a dead poat
Worky will begin here for me too very shortly. Later, JAM2.
I am Dyslexia of Borg! Your Ass will be laminated!
DAM
Mothers Against Dyslexia.
It wasn’t so much dead as it was barely breathing, Vman. M’wah
Good morn, fellow Christmas survivors.
I see the hot Cyn got the picture of myself that I sent her. (I am the 3rd one down ladies) and Gabriel
I sure did, Cyn. Spoiled my nieces and nephew rotten. Then got to play with all their toys after they went to bed!
Why would mothers protest lamination?!? Why-y-y-y-y-y-y?!11!?
*shakes fist in teh air and falls to knees dramatically*
When I buy toys for kids, I know they will get bored after few minutes, so I make sure I will be able to play with those toys too.
Good morning Andrew, how are you feeling?
*starts to slide a bloody mary down the bar to Andy; switches it last minute to highball of Redbreast*
Oh heck yeah, playing with the toys after they go to bed?! That’s the best! And it’s even better now that they’re older.
Thanks, and good. We’re heading to NYC here in a bit, and this stupid laig I’ve been staying off the last couple of days better damned well hold up.
Hey, where’s my Bloody Mary?
Ouch, what did you do to your laig?
Merry Christmas, Andy.
*prepares a bloody mary for Jay, loads it into a vaccination gun and shoots it into the side of his neck*
The buzz this way really lasts!
That doesn’t sound good: Which Reg, Andy, and what happened? Another trampoline-hammock incident with Mrs. Andy?
Good thing no one is at work, cuz I ain’t gonna get much done with a Bloody Mary dart in my neck.
Did ya see that the firefighter killer also had a Bushmaster 223 with a flash suppressor? If only we had a law that would prevent him from owning that scary piece of military grade weaponry.
You know, prevent a guy convicted of manslaughter after killing his grandmother with a hammer. Manslaughter, a felony, right? Hmm, if only we had a law…
ON IT.
*hauls out leg-making supplies*
Is it the reft reg, or light reg, Andy?
do you have to buy reverse thread construction screws for a left reg, laura?
Andy, I have knee joint I can give you.
Slightly used.
Did your zoning guy approve your request to make prosthetic limbs? You might want to check that. Bring your checkbook. For fees. Or something.
No Jay. The reft reg gets the Godzilla sticker and the light reg gets Mothra.
DUH.
No stove today. Office manager and (2) installers out with the flu.
Stupid flu.
probably took flu shots
DAMMIT!
We got 50 40lb bags of pellets neatly stacked.
They started getting pretty damn heavy towards the end.

I want them to hurry up, but I don’t want 2 guys with ebola puking all over the house.
Office manager and (2) installers out with the flu.
Stupid flu.
Sure they weren’t out with the flue?
So far it has cost me more to run the store today than we have made.
I had to pay the computer guy to run down here and replace a wire.
My spaghetti was sticking out from under the cabinet. I tripped on it and took a hard fall while ripping the wires out of the harness. So I needed him to come give me a new thingamabob for the computer. Knees are killing me.
Don’t need a new one of those, yet though.
Reft Reg, Fake is the best prank in the history of the intertubes.
Sure they weren’t out with the flue?
*plays that ‘Rimshot’ wav-file, then throws rotten tomatoes*
Flu, my ass. Day after Christmas???
Hello?????
http://pandawhale.com/post/9139/grumpy-cat-breed-snowshoe-siamese
so far Cyn and Car in have got my vote
I believe the flu after Christmas. Spending time with a lot of people, bringing their particular air with them.
I feel like shit today, so I’m on board with the theory!
Ha ha! The grumpy cat’s name is Tard. How H2esque.
Does anyone at H2 have a 3d tv?
Yeah, if they are sick I don’t want them in our house.
Sucks that we have to put off the highly anticipated toasty warm indoor tropical paradise lifestyle one more day.
Or as we call it, ‘clothing optional house.’
Goodness that lauraw is a genius
*tosses some freeze-dried mouse livers to GrumpyCat*
Laura, they sell these flexible pipes with a slit in it. Route wires through it. They won’t tangle.
nom nom nom
Jay, I might be buying one, not because I want it, but because the model and size I want comes with 3D. If you are going to buy 3D, buy the one that needs active 3D glasses. The ones with passive glasses are listed as an example in the dictionary under SUCK.
I’m hearing the opposite. To the casual viewer (read: the one not looking to spend $2k on a TV) passive should be enough. It’s the same that they use in theaters (Real 3D).
I’m sorry you tripped and fell down Laura. As a naturally clumsy person who is banned from climbing on backhoes, I am sympathetic to your plight.
Livestock restrictions in my town are pretty tough.
Enclosures must be:
100 feet from the street line.
25 feet from side property
50 feet from rear property line
100 feet from a reservoir, pond, or watercourse
Manure has to be buried in a nuclear-blast-proof bunker several miles below ground in solid bedrock and must be removed weekly and no one can smell it or see it or know that it might be there.
>> Does anyone at H2 have a 3d tv?
Yes. My television exists in all three dimensions, height, width and length.
Irish flu.
Good morning, good people!
Excellent bumper sticker:
http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/12/and-eventually-they-destroy-themselves/
Omaha Steaks is sending me a free cake. I tried but couldn’t stop them. Bastards.
Jay, Anaglyph (red and blue) passive are fine. Polarized passive are sucky. I would prefer blindness over polarized passive 3D.
http://3d-tvbuyingguide.com/3dtv/active-vs-passive-glasses.html
Laura, you’ll want to check, but chicken droppings should be ready fairly soon after production for garden incorporation. Horse manure takes a lot longer. If you really want the droppings for gardening, you’ll likely want a box-type perch where most of the poo will fall in. Separating it from bedding material is not worth the time.
I’ll see if I can find a picture of what I’m referring to, basically a box with perch boards over it so the poo is kept segregated from bedding and turf.
With polarized passive, you lose the 3D effect if you move your head a bit. Also the 3D effect is limited to a very narrow area directly in front of TV. Every one else sees some distorted crap.
Comment by lauraw on December 26, 2012 10:34 am
I had to pay the computer guy ………Knees are killing me.
============
So it wasn’t a cash payment……….. ;-)
yes, it’s limited viewing area, but I don’t think it disappears if you move your head a bit. Passive 3D has been around since the 50s, and is used in Real 3D movies today.
Also, the resolution is down from active. But since my wife gets headaches so easily, and migraines, I wonder what the active shutter will do to that. Don’t have to worry about that with passive.
Not having any luck with GIS.
I read in 3D.
It’s ficking awesome!!!!!!
So my USPS package is finally here after 9 days. I had to go to the PO to get it. Seems they tried to deliver it at 8:15 Sat. (to my fucking business.) They only make one delivery attempt, then you have to go pick it up.
Did I mention they didn’t leave a notice?
3D is a stupid gimmick. Resist we much.
Did I mention it took them 20 minutes to find it at the PO?
Did I mention that a UPS package sent the same day as the USPS package was here two days later?
Shoulda used a private butt courier, Hotspur. It’d have got there on time.
And warm.
Not having any luck with GIS.
Thank goodness for small miracles.
Good morning.

Ooo, thanks, Roamy – I was needing a new cabana boy.

Yes, a THANK YOU is in order for Roamy and Cyn who do a yeoman’s work on our HHD’s!

I heard some imbecile the other day MJ proclaiming that assault weapons have multiple rounds chambered. I laughed at his stupidity and flipped my TV off.
My TV is still pissed at me
I work at 4 pm today.
But no. I’m not working a double. AND, I have the next two days off as well.
One of the girls is taking two weeks off and loaded up on shifts this week. I think that’s the reason for the break this week. I’ll take it.
The artist formerly known as Prince was a Mayan??
They just need to put the Gatling Gun down.
I ain’t got time to bleed.
We should follow that liberal admonishment to kill our tevees.
It’s funny, no? Tv’s were horrible, but now the message is 100% theirs.
proclaiming that assault weapons have multiple rounds chambered.
Revolvers are assault weapons?
Glad you like. You needed it to replace what the EMT did/had to do.

Must kill daughter.
So sad . Soo soon after Christmas.
The artist formerly known as Prince was a Mayan??
That would explain a lot. A hell of a lot, actually.
Thank you, honey!
Except for what do they call that thing? the metal storm or something? even Gatling guns fire 1 barrel at a time with 1 bullet in the chamber. Revolvers meh
Rut row, Randy.
What about rail guns? will we have to ban electricity and magnets?
Lasers are the ultimate assault weapon they fire millions of photons at a time! Talk about high caliber clips *Snicker*
*it would be like lasing a stick of dynamite…
ok, get THAT reference!
I have plans evolving in my head for a homemade railgun that launches headless, threaded nails on the theory that the threading will provide rotational stability in flight.
That or or could just launch smooth brads, but I know Brad, and he’s not smooth, so it seems less likely to work.

We are doomed.
At some point, people will get married to siblings fox tax purposes.
When the tax incentive is removed, no one will get married.
In todays America, there is no incentive for men to marry, have kids and be responsible for raising them. I would advice any young man to get sterilized and have flings as much as he wants, without ever seriously committing himself to any relationship. By sterilizing he is not losing anything that will be valuable to him or valued by society.
Call me when I can marry my cat.
I agree. There is no incentive to marry. I got married because that was what I was taught, and it was a commitment to someone to provide for them to the best of my ability. Taxes didn’t come into it, it was just the right thing to do.
Now that isn’t true. Live together, share the responsibility until something else comes along. It’s the smart move, if you can live with that on your conscience.
Call me when I can marry my cat.
I think you can do that in Israel. Or is that porpoises only?

20 bucks, same as downtown.
They were made for a few years so they are by no means rare. The one I got had some wear but was still nice looking. I liked the design…rare in modern coins (even commemoratives). I need to do more research on it as far as the people depicted and symbolism on it.

*throws a snowball
Andy, your Bulldogs better beat Nebraska like they owe them money. And quit disqualifying players.
>> I’ve been seeing Kwanzaa segments on the news since I was a kid and I still have no idea what it is.
It’s what Howard Johnson said it was, a fraud. See New NASA mission, et. al.
I denounce myself.
Winter sucks. It’s very expensive.
On the other hand we don’t have cricket drifts.
mmm, the prime rib is still tasty.
What was the cut of meat Jay?
>> On the other hand we don’t have cricket drifts.
Another 10mph of wind this week and you’d be singing a horse of a different color my friend.
We have the occasional sand drift, which is nice.
I’m about two thirds of the way through Starship Troopers. It’s a great book that bears no resemblance to the movie at all.
Backwards Heinlein.
Nice. I never thought of trying it that way/
Jimbro has a fellatist? That is awesome.
Winds to 40 mph later on.
I walked Zeke for the night. Wow it cooled off today.
*Turns off AC*
>> Winds to 40 mph later on.
I remember those from yesterday. 28 felt like, well it sucked a lot.
Strip roast. 5.94 a pound. They didn’t have any rib roasts, but they were $7.99 a pound. Still a good deal.
Strip roast? Huh. I will ask for that.
Do the same thing with top round roast for awesome roast beef.
Starship Troopers is one of my favorites. I sent my copy to Iraq around 2004. Guys were complaining about the quality of books they were getting, so I sent all my Thor’s, Flynn’s, Connelly’s, and Crais.
Kwanzaa is a way for Hallmark to sell moar shit.
Cyn 4 da wyn.
Yeah, Mrs. Jay has informed me that I will be cooking more beef like that, haha.
Jay, was it red from edge-to-edge red like in the photo on Amazing Ribs site?
The beauty of it all is that it is very easy. It comes out the same every time.
I have to look for red?
fuck
Jimbro has a fellatist? That is awesome.
—————————-
As always, reality trumps fantasy
yes it was, Laura. Best looking piece of beef I’ve cooked.
And it sat in the cooler for 2 hours before I seared it. Then it sat another 45 mins.
132, perfect. and the drippings were delicious too.
I was surprised how easy it is. After a couple of tricks (the oil with the rub is simply knowing chemistry), food comes out consistently.
You could cut it with a fork, too. A little easier with a knife, but a steak knife was not needed. Very tender.
yes it was, Laura.
*whimper*
SCOTT WE HAVE TO DO THIS. PLEASE GO TO THE MEAT PLACE THIS WEEK.
and by we, I mean you
I should have taken pictures. You would have talked him into breaking and entering.
wait, can you smoke meats in minus zero degrees?
Not that I need to make notes, I was just curiosity
Jay – you and Scott need to start webcam’ing the smoking of your meats.
I’ll bet you could monetize those suckers.
Pot roast for dinner.
Not bad.
War is hell.

Is there any difference between Top Round and Bottom Round?
Growing up they were interchangeable for Sunday dinner with Yorkshire pudding. They were mostly gray ashes that gravy tried to resuscitate.
Perhaps smoking would have been better
I have been searing at the end, and throwing it into a cooler for an hour or more. I have been pulling it at about 135, going to try 130 next time.
Yes, it was 12 degrees when I cooked outside. It’s kinda cool, like cooking inside your freezer.
The way to the street is shut. It was blocked by ice and the ice guards it. The way to the street is shut.
Peace is hell.
Back in my younger days, as a software engineer working on defense contracts when the wall came down in Deustchland.
However that’s spelled. They converted listening posts in Germany into coffee shops and restaurants.
Darn them.
Top round is usually a lot leaner and better for jerky, generally makes better roasts. Bottom round is more flavorful and marbled, and is better for braises and crock-pot dishes.
In my experience.
Top round is up higher on the cow, with less connective tissue, IIRC.
And yes, smoking would have saved Sunday dinner. Yorkshire pudding from those roasts would have been great.
What leon said.
Yes. Top round you pull at about 130 for great roast beef, bottom round you pull at about 200 for something close to brisket.
In a crock pot, they might be really close.
More connective tissue => longer cooking is usually better.
Witness the brisket, which can be pan-fried into something your dog won’t eat, but can be braised, smoked, or BBQ’d into something that makes Baby Jesus smile.
Top round is okay in a crock pot, but bottom round is better, and usually cheaper.
I will do a highly modified Yorkshire Pudding recipe some day on the recipe blog.
I smoked a Marlboro.
Much less connective tissue.
Cyn, I think others have done a better job filming their cooking than I would do. Unless I can talk the wife into filming it.
That wouldn’t be weird, would it?
Heh, fried brisket can be used in shock absorbers for trucks.
If you don’t mind gray roast beef, eye round isn’t bad.
Scott makes a very tender, medium rare thin-sliced roast beef that kicks deli sandwich meat’s salty little butt. It is made from top round.
http://ctbrc.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/top-round-roast/#comments
Just use the “camera-duct-tapped-to-the-hoe” technique for filming, Jay, if she’s uncomfortable.
When Dad died we as a family stopped Sunday dinner. I temporarily resurrected it when my GF lived with me. My Bro has no interest in Sunday family dinner.
I have read that with much interest Laura
dammit: “taped”
Xbrad,
“I smoked a Marlboro. ”
I can’t afford those anymore at $8/pack. I use Gambler tubes, tobacco, and a Topomatic machine.
Two cartons for $40 -vs- 5 packs of Marlboros for $40.
When I see people smoking now, I assume they are wealthy.
Haha, tapped might have a different meaning, eh?
Old people should do that out by the grill.
Scott,
Yeah, If they are smoking factory-mades in WA, NY, or CT.
You could support a crack habit for about 2 packs a day.
And how much of that is tax?
Smokes a Gran Reserva 1964
I still miss smoking from time to time but I breath a lot better, and allergies are not as bad.
Actually, my regular smokes are the cheapest in the store brand, at about 35 a carton.
Two years ago, I just about shit myself when I ran to the gas station in Washington to buy a pack and they were $10!
After sex, Jay smokes a pole.
When I see people smoking, I wonder about them
I only smoke 2 cigars a year.
If I loose I have Cuban cigars from the 80’s that are very lame but trump everything.
I’m not the 1%
A Marlboro pack retails for $14.something in NYC. I think about $2.5 of that in not tax.
AfterDuring sex,Jayxbrad smokes a pole.Clint – STFU!
Xbrad,
If you did that today at a gas station, it would be about $20!
$30.25 per carton is tax in WA…
I still get a nicotine craving once in a great while, but I don’t miss smoking.
Especially the smell. Irritates me now.
Wow! $14? I paid more than $10 once.
Crack is tax free.
Pole:

When did you quit Jay?
9-10 years ago. Somewhere around there.
Cravings 10 years later?
Damn.
Pole:
Don’t smoke that! If it gets on your hands, the plastic will stick like napalm.
Nice to look at, though.
Where’s beasn? I had to refund a $40 ham on just a recpt today. Worst ham ever!!! Yet, there was nothing to bring in for a refund. We’re on Day 2 of the same Sam’s Choice ham. My manager says that the 1% that will abuse the return policy can be absorbed. 20$
OMG!
Pupster commented at AoS on the Bond “Skyfall” movie?
WTF, O?
http://minx.cc/?blog=86&post=336006#c19892308
It’s really rare, but it’s when you are at a bar, or doing something where you always used to smoke.
Nothing like the bad cravings you get 2 weeks out. Just a little reminder.
I am sending Scott his Orange wood tomorrow.
I am a lazy procrastinating SOB
SQUEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing beats 8 or 9 Heinekens on an empty stomach followed by 4 or 5 Kools with the filters ripped off.
Have you tried the cherry?
Have you guys seen any videos on Breitbart lately? They all start with an advert for Chase bank featuring two supposedly gay restauranteurs. I get it folks. Gays are good, they are nice, they are the best. They are our superiors. I wish I was awesome enough to be gay. Some of my best friends are gay. Can we have a few other ads as well now?
Louie the Wonder Chihuahua just stopped by and got some snuggles.
I had to refund a $40 ham on just a recpt today. Worst ham ever!!!
F*ckers. Just like a week ago, someone didn’t like the way their cake turned out per their design, so got a full refund on just a receipt – $48 – after they ate it.
Tushar, my mom would enjoy watching HGTV if it weren’t for the fact that EVERY show has to feature a gay couple.
Wholesale cost of a pack of Marlboro lights is $5.20
Everything else is margin. And by everything else I mean .30.
All other is tax.
Oh and it was an EBT card.
I remember buying cartons of cheap smokes at Ft. Irwin for $4, with a $2 instant rebate coupon.
A 14 trip to the sandbox, and I took 14 cartons of smokes.
I ran out.
Dave, 2 years back I was driving in Virginia and saw 10 pack cartons for $35. That is $3.50 per pack. I doubt that has jumped to $5.2 in just 2 years.
Little old lady scamming the system. Had a woman cry about her Christmas Eve salad being ruined by the bad lettuce. Recpt was from 12/12. I may have re-enacted the return for a few of my friends.
From an Infantry group on FB:
>> I doubt that has jumped to $5.2 in just 2 years.
You’d be wrong to doubt that.
I worked for the largest wholesaler of cigarettes in the country. I have followed the mfg price hikes.
They are still paying off the largest court ordered confiscation of wealth to the government in our history.
When I went into the Army, smokes were $0.18 at the PX. Eighteen cents per pack!
Ft. Campbell, KY. 1967…
Chrispy, when you went in the Army, Washington was still just a Colonel.
“Tushar, my mom would enjoy watching HGTV if it weren’t for the fact that EVERY show has to feature a gay couple.”
I feel the same way, regardless of your thoughts on gay couples, gay marriage, gay lifestyle, if you watched TV you would think that that 50% of people you know are gay….NOT.
It’s BS, PR.
Oh, and if your haven’t watched WARRIOR (the movie), YOU MUST SEE THE MOVIE, WARRIOR.
It may be the best movie I’ve seen in two (maybe several years). Nick Nolte did not win BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, and the guy from “The Artistist” won which supports my feeling that every Academy member is a gay asshole. Nick Nolte was absolutely F’ing Tastic….one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.
Seriously, it’s a great movie and if you don’t think so, you are obviously an asshole, anti-everything good, loving dick!! And I hate you!
But I mean that in a nice way.
When I started smoking, they were $.50 a pack.
Cheaper at the PX, but then I had to steal them from dad. That’s dangerous.

And by “sister’s hedges” I do not mean anything sick like you tools normally think. I mean an actual hedge.
Oh, you can read thoughts from all the way over there? Well, enjoy the next 30 minutes!
You, Stark, are a tool among tools.

Warrior is a great movie. My wife and I watched it 3 times in one weekend. This mare BENGHAZI TRAVESTY is also ok I guess

Good ole Musket Morgan. A Brit ridiculing Americans on gun laws. You’d think he’d learn.
Alright, if anybody was trying to read my mind, you’ve been polluted enough. Good night.
Do elves ride penguins?
Penguins are in Antarctica.
And elves never are?
Elves are too big to ride penguins.
We should wait for expert opinion on that.
MJ?
Not true.
Hahahaha. I didn’t see your comment, Jay.
I had an awful dream about penguins two days ago.
Hi!
wakey wakey
So I am spam again?
Only as little bit I see.
Good Morning H2
MJ, Kwanzaa is a Black Panther holiday celebrating African heritage. That’s pretty much it. Bears no resemblance to anything historical or cultural in Africa that I’m aware of.
You forgot the part where it was created by a communist.
Sos is today Twatwaffle Thursday?
It’s a winter wonderland up by me. Anyone else?
Yep, 4-6 inches of snow here in central Oh hi Oh.
I called home yesterday from work and tasked the Pupster Boyz with shoveling the walk and driveway before I got home from work. I got a call about 15 minutes later from Boy1, “Is it snowing where you are? Because it’s still snowing here…wouldn’t it be better to wait until it stopped snowing?”
LOL
Shocker of all shockers..it snowed here last night.
We have a bout 2 inches of snow all over Tampa.*
*this is a lie
I was working during the bulk of the storm, and I thought it was going to be dead. It was a bit slow, but we had a surprising number of people.
Do you have regulars yet?
I don’t know, Pupster. If it is under 6 inches total, you may want to shovel in one go. But anything more than that, and multiple passes might be easier.
There are people who come in a LOT.
It takes Mrs. Pupster about 45-60 minutes to get teenaged boys out the door to do something they don’t want to do. I was watching weather underground’s radar map, saw a break in the snow coming, and timed it appropriately.
Wet, heavy snow on top of frozen rain. Fun, fun.
Oh my God! XBrad was arrested.

Wife and I shoveled 4″ of snow out of our driveway and off of our deck, then another 2″ fell overnight.
I had ice in my beard.
New Poat!
