    Things are pretty good, I guess. I’m pretty sure I want a babeh.

    I think this is another of saying, ‘I’m getting old.’

    OH YES. We need a Little MJ. Or a Littler MJ.

    Tell the Mrs that many women don’t like babies until it’s theirs. They are usually the most obsessive moms ever, because FINALLY they’ve found a cute/interesting/adorable baby.

    there’s nothing inherently bad about a young mom- the problem is that we don’t force our young people to grow up. So they’re selfish little shits.

    Ace is incorrect in his attack on Morrissey. He didn’t have “one” good song – his band had several good albums. But it wasn’t Morrissey that was the talent. It was the guitar player, Johnny Marr. Morrissey was just the singer. He wrote the lyrics, but so? He did a good job singing, but he wasn’t the creative genius behind the music.

    W/o Marr – Morrissey was pretty much nothing, and has merely ridden on the tide of past accomplishment.

    Plus, complete idiot.

  44. Comment by MJ on February 27, 2013 9:27 am

    I think it was both. I like Morrissey.

  45. Comment by Car in on February 27, 2013 9:29 am

    MJ, you are completely wrong. Point out ONE good song that Morrissey did on his own.

    His one album had a few ok songs, but they were very derivative of The Smiths. nothing new. He didnt have anything else musically.

    It was Marr.

  46. Comment by Car in on February 27, 2013 9:34 am

    I find all sorts of things funny. I don’t completely get Achewood (*feels inadequate) .

    I almost died laughing at work the other day. A party had brought in a cake the night before, and our dumb hostesses had put it in the freezer. The server didn’t even know there was a cake until the party said they were ready for it.

    At which point I said that I thought i’d seen one in the freezer.

    Frozen. Solid.

    I was feeling the server’s pain and panic, until another girl started DYING with laughter .

    I had to run around back so the waitresses couldn’t see me.

  85. Comment by Car in on February 27, 2013 11:38 am

    “t might be a no-brainer, but one of Marr’s best-known guitar lines is also one that wraps his playing up pretty nicely. “This Charming Man” kicks off with a two-string spattering of notes and ends up playing out like a style guide for Marr, incorporating the foundations his six-stringed forefathers like Keith Richards. Here we see Marr as rhythm and lead guitarist, bringing equal parts texture, melody and playfulness while bringing something completely new to the instrument itself.”

    Not trying to be a downer, MJ – like I said, I was SHOCKED when I first saw that chart; I mean I sorta knew that happened, but I’d never seen a representation of it.

    I have to admit, I’ve started nudging DD#1 to educate herself on this stuff (she’s 26) so that she doesn’t find herself weeping in her corn flakes 10 years from now when she finally decides that “it’s time” and her body tells her “you waited too long”.

    Of course, she kinda needs a willing partner as well – and the guy she’s with has “a plan” all mapped out of how their life is supposed to go. No doubt he is convinced that when he is finally ready to have a kid, the planets are all gonna align (he’s one of those “Type A” engineers).

    Sigh……

    Marriages don’t exist in a vacuum, Mare.

    One of our biggest losses as we became a mobile society in order to adapt to technological progress is that the role of grandparents pretty much disappeared.

    Yup, and it’s not going to get any better for those women. Combine increasing age of marriage with more and more women going to college/grad school, and you have a recipe for a lot of sorrow. A lot more women are competing for fewer “acceptable” men.

    Most women these days would be better off skipping college and instead focusing on going to the gym, getting a library card and maybe some community college courses in the evening, and working.

    No, Micheal’s right (*falls over and dies)

    Hillary called them a “village”, but the old time village was really your extended family . Your mom. Your aunts and uncles. That’s who babysat for you, or explained how to make chicken noodle soup. Etc.

    If you go to the cities, you see how the breakdown in families has bred generations of people who don’t know how to cook, clean, or raise their own kids. No dad. Moms who became moms at 16, and thus NEVER learned anything from their (underage) moms. etc.

  107. Comment by mare on February 27, 2013 12:35 pm

    Carin, I’ll go with the Bible you do what you want.

    Also, Hillary was referring to the government “village.” No one would argue that Mom, Dad, aunties, sisters, brothers etc. are good to have around.

  108. Comment by Michael on February 27, 2013 12:35 pm

    As late as the 50s and 60s, it was sorta normal for people to live within a short drive of half of their relatives from three generations. Family picnics where kids could play with a dozen cousins were common.

  109. Comment by Teresa in Fort Worth, TX on February 27, 2013 12:38 pm

    ….the role of grandparents pretty much disappeared.

    Yup. A granny or grampa has lots of time to hold a baby, leaving Mom and Dad time to do the things that take more energy (cooking, cleaning, yardwork, housework, etc.).

    They also have more patience, and the wisdom of experience to help ease young parents’ concerns and teach valuable life lessons to their grandkids.

    Of course, if the relationship between the adult child and the older parent is not good, that all goes out the window.

  110. Comment by Car in on February 27, 2013 12:38 pm

    I don’t think it’s any attack on marriage to say that it’s good to also have your extended family w/in a stone’s throw.

    They also let me know I was loved in a broader circle.

    If you go to the cities, you see how the breakdown in families has bred generations of people who don’t know how to cook, clean, or raise their own kids.

    I have read about experiments with rats where they increase the population density, always providing enough food and water, and can graph a corresponding increase in overall aggressive and territorial behavior, killings (including especially infanticide), rape by males, and homosexuality.

    As humans, we adapted to large cities by creating villages within them, organized around racial, religious and cultural commonalities. Then those villages got stigmatized by liberals as “ghettoes” and were wiped out, except for acceptable and tourist-friendly venues like Chinatown and Boston’s Italian North End. As Mare points out, the Hillary-type liberals confused a real village with government programs intended to create a pseudo-village of disparate and unrelated people, and the result was disastrous.

    My mother has very fond memories of her Uncles and Aunts, they lived in her neighborhood. Now my mother’s neighborhood is a crack infested, gangland hell hole. I think 60 minutes did a show on it about 15 years ago.

    Yea, in Tacoma, back in the day you had the Slovak area, Italian, Irish, and they all ended up at the same Catholic school, but they were distinct and everyone was cool with that. You wanted to be around people who cooked food you were use to, spoke the same language, etc., makes sense. But there were all Americans and all the sons fought in WWII together.

  120. Comment by Car in on February 27, 2013 12:51 pm

    Hillary didn’t really mean a “village.” she meant government. But his original point is correct- our best breeding years are when we are young; when we may need the help of our older family members to help. That way we also have enough energy to deal with them when they are teens. My cousin had her first at 35. Her husband was 45. He’s going to be 60 as they hit their teens.

    Family picnics where kids could play with a dozen cousins were common.

    Nowadays, it’s hard to FIND families with a dozen cousins – at least, among the well-educated set; the “ideal” family for much too long has been 2 kids.

    Mr. TiFW’s paternal grandparents had over 25 grandkids and over 50 great-grandkids; his parents have 12 grandkids (we provided 4 of those) and 3 great-grandkids (only one of the grandkids is married).

    My maternal grandmother is 92 – she has 7 grandkids and 14 great-grandkids (again, 4 of those are ours).

    Black people are the greatest irony for liberals. In the name of “diversity” they have destroyed it.

    The legacy of affirmative action is horrible. Black women have succeeded, whether as welfare queens or corporate managers who rose because they were “twofers” on the company’s EEO report. The males got left behind, crowded our prisons, and invented misogynistic rap songs.

  125. Comment by Sean M. on February 27, 2013 1:02 pm

    Reading upthread, Morrissey had several great songs post-Smiths. Off the top of my head: “Every Day is Like Sunday,” “Last of the Famous International Playboys,” “Suedehead,” “Jack The Ripper,” “We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful,” “I Know it’s Gonna Happen Someday.”

    I stopped listening to his new stuff after “Vauxhall and I,” but he had a few solid years after The Smiths, especially when he teamed up with Mick Ronson. “Viva Hate” and “Your Arsenal” are both solid albums, and a lot of the 12″ singles he put out (some of which I still have) are fantastic. I still like The Smiths better overall than his solo career, but to say that he was nothing without Johnny Marr…I can’t agree with that. The man is (or was, anyway) a talented lyricist.

    ….a corresponding increase in overall aggressive and territorial behavior, killings (including especially infanticide), rape by males, and homosexuality

    We’re gonna be seeing a LOT of that in the next couple of decades in places like China and India, where the male birthrate far outstrips the female birthrate.

    Of course, once men and women “pair up” and start their families, they tend to move out of the extremely crowded areas, so it’s possible that there is a higher concentration of “singles” in the high-population areas – a more target-rich environment, as it were.

    And in nature, there is an almost universal tendency for a male to kill another male’s offspring when he hooks up with a female – they don’t want her to expend energy on anything that doesn’t have his DNA.

    I found his Smiths’ lyrics to be truly inspired. But his post-Smith’s music simply lacked something. I had Viva Hate, and probably one other before I gave up on him. I was an OBSESSIVE Smiths fan, and at the time gave Morrissey most of the credit.

    I dunno if I feel he was trying to be too clever, but I simply grew tired of the ruse.

    Based on this from Wiki, he sounds like a compete assfaced, dick:

    Morrissey’s lyrics have been described as “dramatic, bleak, funny vignettes about doomed relationships, lonely nightclubs, the burden of the past and the prison of the home.”[4] He is also noted for his unusual baritone vocal style (though he sometimes uses falsetto),[5] his quiff haircut and his dynamic live performances. His forthright and often contrarian opinions have led to a number of media controversies, and he has also attracted media attention for his advocacy of vegetarianism and animal rights.[6]

    Mare, the Truman deployment was regularly scheduled. And despite Woodward’s argument, it wasn’t Obama that said he couldn’t deploy it, it was the Navy. And the fact is, because the way the sequester and the Continuing Resolution mess is built, the Navy really can’t afford to deploy it. The administration also insisted that the services NOT plan for sequester, and just go along assuming it would not come to pass. So they spent money in the first half of the FY at the “normal” rate. Instead of spreading the pain across the entire FY, they have to take it in just six. Further, personnel accounts are not being touched, but the money that would have been cut by sequester has to be cut somewhere else, and Operations and Maintenance is the only account they can really do that in.

    Ironically, the deferred deployment, and deferred maintenance on the Lincoln will eventually cost more than having just spent the money up front.

    Mare, if the President says go, the Navy will salute and go. But the money would have to come from somewhere, causing even worse effects downstream. For instance, the money for jet fuel would have to be taken from stateside training, or other deployed air wings. They have to hope like hell Congress would quickly pass a supplemental spending bill. And if it was a genuine emergency, that would likely happen. But if not, once the money is gone, everything stops. That’s the ultimate power of Congress to control the President as CinC from using the armed forces improperly.

    It was a bit of a cynical move on my part to come off military leave just to do initial orientation (again) and then go right back on mil leave.

    I’ve been gone from the airline biz for a few years and wanted to get a snapshot of the new corporate culture since we merged with Continental. Once I retire from the AF and go back, I’m stuck there.

    From a pilot perspective Glass cockpits are better, but the company doesn’t give a shit.

    It was old school, but I loved that airplane.

    I’ve been commuting back and forth to St, Louis from Houston on a regional jet, Last flight was next to a very large lady who was every bit as big as my 230 lbs. That sucked,

    Steadily working on reducing the booze stockpile,

    May have to invite one of the cute new hire girls over to help polish off the box ‘o Merlot.

  332. Comment by daveintexas on February 27, 2013 10:24 pm

    After 12 hours to Sao Paulo my ass was pretty indistinguishable from the airplane seat.

  333. Comment by phat on February 27, 2013 10:29 pm

    Vmax,

    I don’t think the ‘J’ variant applies to the 737. Boeing usually doesn’t give their airplanes single letter id’s, they prefer to call it a different series (hence -700). The only exception I can think of for the 737 is the 737-900ER (extended range) and the new 737-900MAX (I think it stands for ‘no shit guys, this is the longest we can stretch this fuselage’).

  334. Comment by xbradtc on February 27, 2013 10:30 pm

    The Reserves at NAS Whidbey had a two bird transport squadron with DC-9-51s. NOT C-9B’s. These were bought used from Quantas or some other Aussie carrier.

    One of them has since replaced the KC-135 vomit comet.

  335. Comment by daveintexas on February 27, 2013 10:31 pm

    I thought KC was the refueling configuration.

  336. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on February 27, 2013 10:32 pm

    Mr. RFH thinks I’m prepping/hoarding too much. I’m not buying gas masks, antibiotics, or gold, so of course, I don’t think I am.

  337. Comment by xbradtc on February 27, 2013 10:35 pm

    Dave, yes, but a lot of times, KC’s were modified one off without actually being redesignated.

    Aside from removing the boom, and a few internal bits, this particular KC-135 was unchanged.

  338. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 10:36 pm

    Roamy, no such thing as too much unless you are a subject on a cable TV show.

  341. Comment by xbradtc on February 27, 2013 10:39 pm

    They couldn’t exactly just remove the K from the designation, since there was already a C-135A. And it isn’t worth it to add a new designation for a one off. Though, for the W and R versions, they usually do.

  342. Comment by daveintexas on February 27, 2013 10:39 pm

    Thank you, Osita.

    Curse words in what language?

  344. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 10:41 pm

    My plane knowledge ends with the ones that weigh my luggage and ask how much I weigh before seating me. Everything else is trust and pixie dust.

  345. Comment by phat on February 27, 2013 10:42 pm

    Roamy,

    Mrs. Phat is also questioning my obscene armory.

    My answer is, ‘Hey, you go scrapbooking, to Thirty-One and pampered Chef parties, I buy guns and ammo.’

    Now, lets see her take out the intruder with a lettuce knife.

  346. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 10:43 pm

    I left the Mexican bar for the Irish bar. I’m cursing in Anglo/Saxon.

  347. Comment by MCPO Airdale on February 27, 2013 10:46 pm

    Cursing in Gaelic is s-o-o-o much more refined.

  348. Comment by Cyn on February 27, 2013 10:50 pm

    Now, lets see her take out the intruder with a lettuce knife.

    You don’t know Pampered Chef. Between that and the melon baller, that dude would be fuxxored.

  349. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 10:50 pm

    I can curse in Mandarin. No Gaelic. (Has a sad as I drink my whiskEy)

  350. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on February 27, 2013 10:51 pm

    I know I’m antsy about what’s happening in politics. I figure if I have what I think I’ll need, I’ll quit worrying, or at least worry less. Mr. RFH just completely ignores the politics.

    Are flights to Vegas cheap from just about everywhere?

  352. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 10:53 pm

    If any Hostages have CBS sports channel and the Lobos by 5.5 you can curse along with me…heavy on the “F” word.

  353. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 10:57 pm

    Cyn, they can be. Southwest and a fare war. Last time we flew United. We make it up in free rooms. You can get sweet deals on off season wknds. Like AZ, summer deals can be sweet.

  354. Comment by Cyn on February 27, 2013 10:59 pm

    I just checked out SWA from Tampa and BDL (the two furthest away??) to Vegas and they’re in the low $200s.

    Hmmm…

    Are you On or Off the Strip right now?

  356. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 11:06 pm

    Off. I take advantage of free rooms. I’m cheap. Staying at the Gold Coast/Orleans. I rarely stay on The Strip. Did I mention, I’m cheap?

  357. Comment by xbradtc on February 27, 2013 11:08 pm

    Frugal. Sensible.

    Not cheap.

    Cheap would be my mom traveling using brown paper bags as luggage.

    Since I don’t gamble, I like staying at casinos with movie/bowling/other diversions. South Point has a horse arena. Sun Coast has lots of golf courses nearby.

  360. Comment by Cyn on February 27, 2013 11:12 pm

    Hostage Bowling?!! That has serious potential for an afternoon dealie.

    So when would be a good time? May and June seem to have worked out pretty well in the past.

    Last time I was in Vegas my room was under $40 and it was about the size of my house. The bathroom had stairs in it.

    I’ve never been to Vegas except the airport.

  364. Comment by Cyn on February 27, 2013 11:19 pm

    Wow, Scott, you must have been like 10 years old.

    Last time I was in Vegas, I don’t remember spending too much time in the room, so cheap works for me (just not scummy, please).

  365. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 11:20 pm

    May/June are good. Weekdays are better than wknds. Laughlin on wknds is CHEAP!!! Vegas is what you make it. I’ve never stayed Downtown. Who needs sleep?

    Motel 6.

  367. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 11:24 pm

    Last time at the Gold Coast was questionable. Upgrading the rooms. We got a free “premium” room. Dan was whining about the shower. Mr 6’4″ was a little tall for the shower. I thought it was very nice. We moved to the Orleans today. New room here too. Cocktail waitresses have cute new outfits.

  368. Comment by osoloco11 on February 27, 2013 11:27 pm

    XB, I would never stay in a regular chain in Vegas. They have no deals. You can get pretty good deals on Strip rooms as long as you don’t mind crap views. Who spends time in their room anyway?

  373. Comment by daveintexas on February 27, 2013 11:38 pm

    I can’t help myself, this is my fav Vegas joke.

    A businessman goes to Vegas. Meeting ends early, he decides to hit the tables, and loses his ass. Doesn’t even have cab fare to make it to the airport. He stumbles out of the casino, finds one cab out front, climbs in and gives him the story, “I’m outta cash, I’m good for it, I’ll send it to you,” The cabbie tells him to hit the bricks. He gets out and walks five miles to McCarren, just makes his flight.

    A year later the same scenario unfolds, only this time he wins big. He struts out of the casino and sees a line of cabs out front, and recognizes the cabbie who kicked him out a year ago at the end of the line.

    He starts with the first one in line, and asks “Hey, how much for a ride to the airport and a blow job?” The cabbie says “Get the fuck outta my cab!” He repeats this, all the way down the line, getting the same response until he gets to the cabbie who kicked him when he was down. The cabbie doesn’t remember him at all, he’d heard it a thousand times before. So the businessman climbs in that cab, and tells him “take me to the airport, American terminal.”

    And as the cab pulls away, slowly past all the other cabs in line, the businessman looks at each cabbie in the row, and grins and flashes a big “thumbs up”.

    Sohita,

    Life is good, taking a short break from the military to come back to the airline. Doing flight training at the Continental facility in Houston.

    Staying at the Hyatt in Greenspoint, or ‘Gunspoint’ as the locals call it.

    Yeah…I don’t leave the hotel at night,

    How are things with you?

    Sohos,

    Back many years ago I was recruited by Rice to play football. I had a couple of campus visits and was sold on it.

    They took us (17 yr old) recruits to the Ginger Man and made sure no one checked our ID’s (it was 18 legal age back then).

    Good time, nice campus. Decided to go to the Air Force Academy instead, I do a LOT of ‘What If I…’
