Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. It’s not Thursday, but I thought we’d celebrate Thor anyway. Mainly because I had the idea of this poat during the Thanksgiving holiday when I saw “Thor: The Dark World” and finally got my act (and pics) together.
This might be from the first movie, but I don’t mind.
Though I’ll admit that Loki had the best lines. “You missed a column.”
Chris O’Dowd is the guy that gets a bad date with Jane.
Fandral.
Volstagg.
And a reward of Jaimie Alexander (Sif) for the guys who read this far. (Note to self: possible Load HEAT material)
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I’ve got HHD all to myself!
Not anymore!

Haha!
Pajama Boy is the reason “Julia” doesn’t have a man in her life.
Thanks for Jaimie! That was a nice reward.
Now I have to read HHD too? *sigh
BUNK!!
re-poat:
Just woke up. Wife locked herself out this morning at 5am and had to knock on the door to wake me up and let her in.
I also get to look for her bluetooth earpiece in the snow because it appears to have popped off the clip on her phone.
*starts image searching “Jaimie Alexander”*
“Julia”‘s government bennies are the reason she has no man in her life. Big Sugar Daddy government told her she didn’t need to find one, and that if she did she could use the courts to break the 13th Amendment if she felt like it.

MJ, can you drop the “fuck” and email it to me? The church folks on my fb page prob won’t appreciate the nuances of that word.
Women want a man in their life. Most do. But not the boys that are what passes as men/hipster douchebags. Women bear some of the blame , butt they don’t understand that their behavior has consequences. They’ve allowed men to become this. Encouraged it.

Women bear some of the blame
When women started offering sex without commitment, men responded. The old saying about women “civilizing” men was based on the assumption that the women were civilized.

Honestly, someone should grab the girlswantrealmen.com url. There’s money to be made shaming sluts and hipster douchebags alike.
Cow. Milk. Free.
Thanks MJ.
Man, I can just hear the screaming from a certain commenter at the HQ if this discussion was going on over there.
I think a lot of women demand that their men act as a girlfriend, not necessarily the man of the relationship.
And men give in.
Found out yesterday that the really cute girl in spin class (whom I’ve never spoken to) has a college age daughter.
She looks to be in her mid 30s. She either has a hell of a plastic surgeon or lives a very clean life.
Being the man is hard. I’ve heard.
Glad I’m a dog.
Leon
“Hipster Douchebag” was in the Bible
Yes, all that. But when babies enter the picture, and the man still doesn’t fucking grow up, I stop giving him an out of any sort. The only blame a woman gets then, is why they would ever sleep with such a loser. I have stories.
>>>She looks to be in her mid 30s. She either has a hell of a plastic surgeon or lives a very clean life.
You’re forgetting option C: knocked up early
The wife’s best friend from high school had her first kid at about 20 or 21. Her mom had her earlier than that.
So she was a grandmother before she hit 40.
I thought the word for it back then was nimrod.
I considered the ‘knocked up early’ scenario, but can’t figure out how she can live here, then. My guess is married well, then divorced.
I guess there are many ways that someone can get relatively wealthy but she clearly leads the island lifestyle.
I guess I could talk to her but we all know that won’t happen.
Yes, all that.
——————–
We are simpatico. Permanent adolescence and all that.
Yup. WIfe’s best friend’s mom got knocked up at like 19, married the guy. He was successful. Money. Ended up divorcing him in the weirdest series of events I’ve ever heard of. Remarried a guy with money. Divorced him as well. Dating money now as far as I know.
Morning…those inclined to prayer, please offer them. I have two days of labs with my students as our semester ends on Friday. Two days of labs with students who are convinced that they are owed a Christmas Party because they have a pulse, two days of labs with students who are, in the best of times, distracted.
Meh…It could be worse. i could be a waitress
worked with a chick that had a kid at 16, 17 ish… well to do family. She was a real stunner. Sadly the whole experience changed her; she decided other chicks made better life partners.
Jam, I was told that is impossible, people can’t CHOOSE to be homosexual. They are born that way…
/sarcasm <–It is early, this is probably needed
Or Option D – she’s married and the college-age daughter is her husband’s.
Better back the fuck off.
Either that, or ask her if you could meet the college-age daughter.
Sounds like opportunity knocking Jam. I mean, she’s obv shown a proclivity for the D at some point in her life. Now she’s into chicks. Pour some tequila into that girl and away you go.

She’s not married, but I’d never talk to her anyway. It’s all just a head game to me.

We had the most preposterous conversation at a dinner party Sunday night when one of my more looney friends declared with incredulity that she’d read that in a pair of identical twins one could be gay, and the other straight.
Her premise was that the straight twin was denying his sexuality, because obviously both people would be gay.
I shit you not. I just sat there.
Damn it just go to Kurt Schlichter’s twitter feed.
That dinner party sounds like it sucked. Yikes, I’d rather eat alone.

Ironically, I don’t think it can put away tools.
>>>Her premise was that the straight twin was denying his sexuality, because obviously both people would be gay.
……..the fuck?
So, I assume your rebuttal was that denying your sexuality is unpossible, since you are born that way, right Hotspur?
I mean, if I can fake being straight I can fake being gay and we can’t have that.

According to some definitions, they would be correct.
I mean, if I can fake being straight I can fake being gay and we can’t have that.
No because being gay is some mystical state of enlightenment and no one could ever fake that.
I would point out that if homosexuality is genetic, then homosexuals are vastly overrepresented in prison populations, suggesting that they are much more prone to criminal acts.
I’ve long been of the opinion that the “gay is genetic” argument is irrelevant.
People are genetically prone to all sorts of behaviors, that doesn’t make those behaviors right.
When I have a lib in a delicious Catch22 I leave them there until I can use their flawed logic to rebut a larger point.
The time wasn’t right.
BTW, have I mentioned how much I love Loki? Thanks, Romacita! Best HHD EVAH!
Butt sex. It’s not a good dinner topic.
Besides, now that 90% of the country is gay shouldn’t we straight people be given special rights?
It happened during the dessert course.
There’s an entire genre of pr0n built specifically for manipulating orientation in men from straight to bi/gay. You could argue that only men with some pre-existing predilection would choose to view it, but why would they need/want it? Why not just go for the gay stuff?
This shit is as malleable as every other pleasure/pain/reward signal. Everyone’s needle starts somewhere on the spectrum, but the needle most certainly can be moved.
If I can learn to like broccoli…
Broccoli is a scam.
león is a scam.
I don’t think there is a specific gay gene, but that there are several genes that can influence the development of the brain. However, it would not surprise me if many of them were found in the mother and triggered changes in the fetus’ development.
Most gay men are probably born that way, while the rest are mostly drawn to the lifestyle due to abuse or mental illness (self-destructive behaviors are more acceptable there than in the straight community). Women, on the other hand, are mostly bisexual and choose lesbianism over heterosexuality, either due to abuse, mental illness, because they don’t believe that they can find a male partner, or because of fear of committing.

He was born the same year as I was, and graduated from high school same year as I did. No mention of military service in his profile, even though it was the height of the Vietnam war. I wonder whose dick he sucked to pull that off.

Car in’s burner is kerplunk. She could totes burn Wiser Cover CDs for all the Hostaes.
Hostaes? WTF. Throws sober flag at self and runs back to FB.
I stick pretty exclusively to fantasy novels. (Not those kind you bunch of perverts.)
I get my books on TV.
>> Up until he invited his son to write for him.
I meant his WWII series. Did his son write some of the last ones? (The LTs, the Captains, etc.)
His Sanford and Son series kicked ass.
Big dummy.
Brotherhood of War was pure father, no son.
Same with The Corps.
It’s the Badge of Honor and the later series his soon has Fubar’d.
Sanford and Son is right up there with All in the Family with shows that could never be made today.
We need to pull our wiener out more often.

Ok well those were the only two I read.. also.. wait, there was an OSS themed one that crossed over.. read those.
Anyway I liked em.
I think Dan has doxies just to wear inappropriate tee shirts and make inappropriate comments.
I don’t need funny looking dogs to do that.
I started drinking early. I just want to say, that those of you that aren’t on FB don’t realize what an extremely lovely human being Roamy is. As much as I love her here, I adore her even more for her posts on FB. She is a gem. (Beasn is really nice on FB too)
Someone else posts after drinking, but he’s lucid…

I admit that regular grooming of my long-haired cat allows me to make funneh on the shaving of my pussy.
Oso to Dan: Hey, what’re you doing? Dan: Stroking my wiener. Fin.
Oso to Dan: What’s up? Dan: Me and my wiener. Fin
I miss the Gong Show
That was like watching a weekly trainwreck in slow motion
It was so ghastly, you couldn’t take your eyes off it..
I loved the Gong Show.
Sooo…………., our insurance was scheduled to be cancelled as of 12/31 because fuck you Obama. We had to sign up for the new basic insurance policy at a mere $500/month increase. Just got a notice today that the insurance company went ahead and charged us the extra $500 for December too, because fuck you Obama. Should be fun dealing with them tomorrow.
Really? I loved Cranky. He doesn’t deserve my thread killing comments. I’m no where near Cranky level thread killing. Stop celebrating mediocrity.
Penelope is wondering why they are playing “Easter Parade” now. I told her because it’s religious and it’s all the same to them, and because fuck you Obama!!
Pepe, I think that song was in Meet Me in St Louis and I’ll be home for Christmas. BRB
Easter Parade during Advent seems like doinitwrong.
An ‘ette lost her hubby in a freak accident last week. Funeral was today. FB has been a God send in soliciting help and comfort to Neets. I love you guys. Morons/Hostages are the best.
They are playing the Judy Garland movie “Easter Parade” right now.
They keep screwing everything up. Rudolf/Frosty/Drummer Boy/Wonderful Life/Grinch/ Charlie Brown Christmas at Christmas. Ben Hur/Ten Commandments at Easter. The Quiet Man on St. Patricks Day. Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on Halloween.
I know they used to play Wizard of Oz at a certain time of the year, too.
XBrad is the Hostage most likely to be injured in a “Freak Accident” just sayin’.
WofO was Easter on CBS. Before video. I own most of the DVDs so I can say FU Hollywood. I provide my own programming.
Ten Commandments is a Passover/ Easter thing
Very kitschy movie, in some respects
Edward G Robinson was doing his ” Little Caesar” on the Nile shtick
You people exist on Facebook too????
Mind. Blown.
They do frequently air The Boondock Saints on St. Patrick’s Day.
Bcoch, I don’t exist on Facechimp.
TJ, Ben Hur and TC are totes Easter Movies. Mel Gibson and The Passion also. SoM used to be Easter. I still don’t get the connect between Favorite Things and Xmas.
Only the first Boondock Sts.2nd one is crap.
Mare doesn’t exist anywhere.
Die Hard will always be my favorite Christmas movie.
Only the first Boondock Sts.2nd one is crap.
Much like The Matrix, I remain unconvinced that a sequel was ever made.
blergy blergy
Don’t forget “Miracle on 34th Street”, the first movie with major product placement
I facebook, thus I am.
I Totes ❤ Nat Woods in 34th st. Remake…meh
EggNog ice cream is the debbil.
I try to stay off Facechimp since my zillion idiot cousins in Houston are big Obama fans and they send me gobs of stupid glowing shit about that worthless piece of crap
TJ, I hide my D-Rat cousins and enjoy my Moron friends. Secret groups are secret. Except for the whole NSA FB/4A stuff.
Texas … could you introduce me? I would love to “get to know” them.
THen we could talk Obama.
As of now, I’ve not been on FaceChimp or Twitter for One Year!
I don’t intend to ever go back to either of those soul and life stealing institutions.
They will eat you up…
The Big Boss handed me a envelope today after the Christmas Luncheon at the Weston where a Magician pulled a signed $100 bill out of an Orange after he ran it through a shredder.
In Florida the average Christmas bonus was 2 weeks pay
Thank goodness I have a job and $100 bill for a bonus is fantastic!
*no it was not the signed $100 bill the Magician pulled out of the orange.
How many of you have magicians at your office Christmas party?
I thought so.
They also raffled off 100 prizes the least of which cost $50. 3 of my 8 table mates won $100+ items. Alas I was not one of them.
Christmas party?
There’s no such thing as a Christmas bonus.
We used to get a ham.
TJ,
The next time u are in Houston look me up. I wil provide beer bourbon or whatever your pleasure is, and you can ignore those O’Bumbles loving kin.
I am in the far west westchase / east energy corridor area.
However I will be back in Florida for 2 weeks after tomorrow.Houston on the 3rd.

Different industries have different traditions. Automotive pays poorly but gives huge end of year bonuses.
IT gets nothing anywhere except Dave iT’s shop. I am sure.
When I was in ABN-AMRO in Chicago, the cheap Dutch bastards only gave us one bonus the entire time. It was a book. A history of the company.
ahhhhh.. no
Well we did get bonuses on occasion, but that was in the years before the New Messiah.
Target never gave bonuses below STL level. WalMart/Sams I’m looking at a little extra for TFG to take away from me.
My last bonus at Merrill was about 10% of my base salary, plus about 3% of my boss’s income.
Car In
I like and respect you too much to have you be subjected to their rampant inane suckiness
Vmax
That’s a deal
I have an office on San Felipe that I’m never at just north of the Galleria
My family was from the Braeswood Bellaire Meyerland Memorial cluster
goodlevy52 at yahoo whatever
TJ
Depending on traffic the Galleria 15 min to an hour from me.
Bellaire is Chinatown and 10 min from me.
I’m about 22-23 hours away.
The chick in the red gloves was hot.
Miley Cyrus could learn a thing or two from her about being demure as a means of being erotic.
Vmax
Known that area very well for almost 50 years
I assume you’re coming in on Westheimer
Sharpstown was the original Chinatown
Bellaire High was full of amazing characters, like the Quaid brothers
I love southwest Houston it’s like hone
I really like Miley’s new album. Me and all my ghey boy friends.
You’re only making your reckoning for that spider video worse, Oso.
xbradtc
Great video
That short guitar riff by Elliot Easton has always amazed me
XB, I was kind of expecting that because my RL friends are assholes. I’m afraid to go to sleep.
I’m a bully from way back. I would totally kick PJ boys ass. The only thing that would make him more pathetic is ginger gene and freckles.
TJ, yeah, not a famous solo like by EVH or other guitar gods, but a neat little wail.
Just watched Carrie Underwood and Lindsey Buckingham do Go Your Own Way live, and I’d forgotten how good he was.
Yeah
Buckingham was great
Really understated guitarist, like Easton
Listen to “My Best Friends Girlfriend”
Easton does a perfect 10 second riff that’s unbelievable
Heard an interview with him years ago
He said he emulated George Harrison who also was very understated and not a show off sort of musician
You ever listen to Big Head Todd and the Monsters?
Todd Park Mohr is fucking brilliant.
Never have
I’ll look him up
I can’t sing, and I can’t play guitar, so the concept of playing AND singing kinda blows my mind.
Wow
That’s was pretty amazing
A Korean Stevie Ray Vaughan
I play the drums so singing is a little out of the question anyway
Phil Collins managed.
Big Head Todd was still playing in rinky dinky neighborhood clubs in Colorado Springs when I was there in the early 90s.
They played next door to my house once.
I can sing with practice and lots of work. For the most part, I mimic.
My shower told me to SMWM.
Shower singing is totes different! I Kick ass in shower singing!
Listen, just because I don’t hang out here as often as I used to doesn’t mean wiserbud, xbrad, leon and mare can start doing shit like this for drug money:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azoWedQH8zQ
Have some fucking gay self-respect.
Also, your mom.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3Y4o95ObU
I’ll write some new material when I feel like it.
Merry Christmas Jews!
The first link is old.
Hell, *Ace* already posted it.
Out of derp out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I’m in love I’m in deep yeah
Hypnotized I’m shakin’ to my knees
Good morning! Get all up in it today!
I really like Miley’s new album. Me and all my ghey boy friends.
*shakes head sadly
Ghey bartender at work loves it too.

A friend and co-worker passed away yesterday. Would have had 53 years with NASA next month. One of the real rocket-builders who knew what he was doing. Another friend has been in ICU since Monday with pneumonia. Father-in-law still not eating, losing weight every day, but is holding his own for now and occasionally kicks SIL’s ass in Sorry. I’m having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit.
To my SS victim, I ordered your gift December 2. I got a ship notice this morning. I’m hoping that you get it in time, because I really did have my act together, just relying on other people.
Advent song, complete with horrific pro-life message:
Sorry Roamy. You and yours are still in my prayers. I wish I could do more.
Morning, children. Chaste, supportive hug, Roamy.
Sorry to hear that, roamy. Hope you get some good news for Christmas!
Thanks, y’all. **gropes Pepe inappropriately**
Gimme a few minutes, and I’ll put up a new poat.
Thanks, y’all. **gropes Pepe inappropriately**
See? This is why my only chaste hugs are nuns and my mom.
New poat!
So, does Duck Dynasty go down when Phil was suspended? Or does the corporate side of the family come through, and continue making episodes for A&E?
Hugs and prayers to you for your friends, Roams. Hard stuff.
Great A& E
Way to piss off your viewing audience
Roamy, you have reasons for the season. Take good care.
Why was Phil suspended?
Just read the story. What’s the big deal? Seriously, we (Christians) can’t say we don’t approve of homosexuality anymore? I thought we had religious freedom in this country.
We do. And A&E has a right to choose who they employ. And we have a right to watch or not.
