Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. In a matter of hours, the Youtube I was going to embed here was pulled, so let’s see if this works.

Hey there.
To atone for all the nasty links I keep posting, here is something nice.

The soccer game was good last night! I think I need Sunday off now …
I’m watching Mountain Men while I try to find things I actually need in the labyrinthine mess that is the IBM web disaster.
So – question:
Women’s soccer has to be the most elite women’s team sport for the US. I mean – there are female golfers and tennis players – but the women’s team playing in the finals?
Does Obama make the trip? It’s golf-day.
That was a great game last night. Both team aggressive offensively which I love, and the US defense, wow.
We had a crazy storm last night to include a couple hour long power outage, so glad it happened after the game.
I am seriously interested in that pit barrel cooker somebody linked last night.
Damn you.
That’s it. I’m going to have to kill my kids.
I see no other way.
Carin, you can always make more…if you want some.
Well we’ve all been there Car in
Bonus. They can’t pick out your nursing home if they dead
Soccer is a better sport for overall physique and fitness, IMO, than golf or tennis.
Oh soccer is a great sport for physical fitness. Basektball is good too but since it favors those with a certain build (tall) – I think soccer edges it out.
I’ve never seen better bodies than Lacrosse players. Fit and buff can’t beat it. IMO
Is Hillary Clinton the devil? She kind of seems like it. Everything about her is a deception.
Laura, that barrel cooker sounds so nice. Start it, put the meat in, close it up, and voila! 2 1/2 to 3 hours later it’s done. I don’t have time to babysit a regular smoker, so this is ideal.

physical fitness.head injuries. /fixtIs Hillary Clinton the devil?
Confuse ye not the servant for the master.
Most team sports are good for head injuries, Pepe. Given the strength of tissue/bone being constant but lower average body mass, I imagine that soccer is much safer for women than men.
Very true, Leon, very true.
Plus, women who play a lot of soccer have amazing legs.
Aside from all the bruises and scrapes, of course.
Leon?
http://tinyurl.com/ocuveuk
Leon, why are female softball players so beefy?
I remember an article about little kids playing soccer and they had tons of concussions from watching the ball and smacking their heads together. Way more than other sports.
Car in, what did they do this time?
Not enough lesbians in women’s soccer, mebby?
HUNKY! Roamy – a one of a kind never ending margarita machine and Merry Maids are on their way in thanks.
Because they are lesbians, Pepe.
Also because they sprint a lot. Further, a woman’s potential deltoid hypertrophy is somewhat limited, so my guess is that throwing/batting needs to be done largely with torso rotational musculature, and hypertrophy of that gives you that stocky look.
Any sport that involves scoring maybe three or four times in a 2+ hour timeframe is going to struggle greatly in capturing my attention. See also: hockey, auto racing, baseball, golf, powerlifting. I kinda like watching women’s tennis cause of the jigglies.
I have made an important decision today.
If I am ever given the death punishment, my last meal will be a jar of Nutella.
Better make that two jars.
Leon, I know. But if I am going to die, I won’t worry too much about the carb content.
Tushar, mine will be a Chicago-style stuffed pizza.
It’s nice to be offline for a day or two, then spend a few minutes going through the comments here. It’s like a short story written by someone off their ADD meds, who is self-medicating with shrooms and tequila.

Leon, in exciting news, i made an error while deadlifting. Slight herniation of the disk between L2 and L3. It is getting on my nerves, literally. The doc says that PT should be enough, and surgery seems extremely unlikely.
I am quite mobile, but sleeping and getting up from a sleeping position is a bitch.
Starfish aren’t badass for playing mumbledypeg, because they can grow a new arm.
Yes, I’m sorry I forget to thank Roamy for the HHD.
Wow! Sorry to hear that, Tushar. Hope you’re mended soon.
Ouch, Tushar, that’s no good.
My kids took my muthofocking phone charger again. Despite writing MOM’S CORD in permanent ink. That makes 4 cords of mine gone.
Of course no one took it. no one took any of them. But It’s no where.
JESUS MOM CALM DOWN. You can “borrow” mine.
Head asshplodse.
The only thing I can do is kill them.
Chiro time.
A child of yours told you to calm down?
Anytime the older boy tells Paula to “calm down mom” she escalates in a dramatic fashion. I’ve seen it many times and she is a master at making sarcastic comebacks. I have a hard time keeping a straight face. (I’m even laughing now at the memory of her doing that just last night).
Raising children is not easy. It took me a lot of effort to convince my kid that while I got the bicycle for him within a couple hours of deciding to get it, we can’t apply the same haste to buying an SUV. My current vehicles are perfectly fine, and I am NOT going to bust my budget and get a new SUV just because my kid fancies a red SUV.
I need to watch that one closely. I may even swat him a bit when mom is not looking.
http://is.gd/8skY4D
Jimbro! Just the guy I was looking for.
So, herniated disk between L2 and L3. Right thigh hurt for a day or two, but is better now. I am quite mobile, except getting up.
Reclining against a medicine ball helps. Starting PT from monday.
Doc says PT should fix it. Is he right? Or should I get that dang MRI right away?
Are you foam rolling?
Leon. I want to. Where can I buy one?
Everybody who exercises is injured.
Everybody.
CVS and Walgreens don’t have it.
Thanks, Scott. A ray of sunshine you are.
You got good information Tushar. The majority of disk herniations do not require surgery. Over zealous neurosurgeons doing diskectomies willy-nilly cause a lot of trouble. Best to take it slow. If you have nerve root compression with sensory changes or motor weakness with no improvement after a short period of time then it’s time to chop chop.
I bought mine at Dunham’s. You can find them at a lot of sports supply places now.
Thanks, Jimbro. I could sense that the doc was square with me, but a second opinion from a trusted source never hurts … as much as my back.
Thanks, Leon. Off to a sports store.
Yeah, I don’t see how a dickectomy would help your back.
>>Yeah, I don’t see how a dickectomy would help your back.
Well, dickless and spineless ARE synonyms after all.

I’m sure shock collars are an option.
Boy 1 used to say “calm down” so much the rest of the family started using it as the answer to his every question. It has dropped in frequency.
If I tell HotBride to calm down, shit gets real in a nanosecond.
So the Asshole in Chief is reestablishing relations with Cuba.
Any bets that he orders the military to abandon Guantanamo Bay by next year?
Yea “calm down” doesn’t go over well with me. I’m really a very calm parent.
I’m gonna tell her to calm down after I turn off her phone.
That girl goes into hysterics if anyone does the littlest thing. The phone turning off should be epic.
Have them turn in all their chargers. Superglue them into a power strip and plug it into the wall. Everyone charges their phones at a single station since they can’t seem to keep track of their charging cords.
Whip them with the charger until your arm gets tired. That much exercise should calm you down.

MICKEY KAUS SAYS OBAMA’S OVERTIME MOVE IS A SCAM:
Everything 0bama does is a scam.
I read about some app that shuts down a kid’s phone if they don’t reply to texts or calls. I remembered it the other day when Paula was trying to get ahold of the older boy over the course of the day yesterday and he was not responding. If I remember right it turns the phone into a brick with one function: Call your parents.
Jimbro, on iPhone, if you know the apple id and password, you can track where they are
The app is called “Ignore No More”
http://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2014/08/20/the-ignore-no-more-app-forces-kids-to-call-back-their-parents/
So they have a “where the fuck is my charger” app? Or a “Which child StOLE AND THEN LOST MY CHARGER” app? I need that one.

It’s a prescribing term Tushar. Per mouth, per G-tube, per rectum, Per vagina…Should be written as “in”.
PO = by mouth

PGT = via G-tube
IV = you know that one
IM = intramuscular injection
There are others out there but those are the most common. Not sure what the abbreviation is for vagina but it’s not PC = by cunt.

National Health Care, what did you expect.
Doing a quick once over of Hillary’s emails I didn’t see him mention the “Iced tea” emails that Rush talked about.
It was obvious to Rush that “iced tea” had been substituted for some alcohol she requested. Interesting since we’ve been semi-joking that Hillary has a drinking problem.

Same idiot lib thinks Bernie Sanders is just slightly left of center.

Well, at least he isn’t a Muslim.
He asked me where I got all those weird, crazy Clinton Foundation stories? I said “oh, ya now, places like the New York Times.”
He laughed and said “oh, now you trust the NYT?”
I laughed louder and said “wait, now you don’t”
But I’m the one who is blinded by my ideology.
If it’s the 5th place I’ve read a story, I trust the NYT. Not their opinion, but the facts they bother to insert in the opinion pieces they call “articles”.
If my other choice is Jeb Bush, I’m voting for Sanders.

Funny, I thought I was the only one who called wine, “truth juice.”
And no, not this morning. I’ve thought that about lacrosse players for a long time.
Not that I’m thinking of lacrosse players bodies a lot. No, that wouldn’t be it at all. And anyway a couple of times a day is not “a lot.”

I stubbed my toe this morning while looking for the bathroom in the dark. I’m reasonably certain it’s broken. I can feel it click when I walk and it didn’t used to do that.
Broken toes usually heal on their own. I broke a few in college doing aikido. They’d usually stop hurting after a few days, then be fine a month later.
Maybe Jimbro will let me borrow his chisel and ball-peen hammer.
If it’s the big toe and it looks funny I’d spend the money for the x-ray and any treatment deemed necessary. The lesser toes are largely vestigial and you won’t miss one or two. If it’s pointing the same direction as your other little piggies it’ll be fine. If it is pointing in an entirely new direction just pull it back in line and buddy tape it.
It’s the little piggie that had roast beef. It should heal just fine.
Sorry, not kissing your boo-boo. 😛

Elon is having quite the run of bad luck lately.
Some backup equipment to the stuff destroyed when the Orbital Sciences rocket blew up was on the SpaceX Falcon.
You can’t really ping Elon for the failures to land on a barge. I mean, it’s a pretty damn radical attempt. So basically, we’re left with complaining about this last launch failing. Which, would you like to take a quick look at youtube and see dozens of other rockets explode also? Space X has a better record than a lot of folks.
I’ve heard he’s basically a grifter.

I just know there’s someone sitting at HQ, shaking their head because they thought two backups to the Russian Progress resupply was going to be enough.

Unlikely. He looks more like an Orc.
Paula just texted me that she bought 2 skorts. Then, assuming I didn’t read the H2 and had no idea what a skort was (thanks Carin), described them to me as “they look cute like a skirt but with underwear underneath so your girl parts don’t hang out when you sit down”. Then added a smiley face at the end.
so your girl parts don’t hang out when you sit down”.
I fail to see the advantage in these.
Jimbro, my first PT is on Monday. In the meantime, I am trying to reduce pain. I tried cobra raises
And a foam roller. Finding a good sleeping posture is difficult.

Hey Oso, what’s the real story on the Lynne Russell shooting?
Hit or miss on the chiropractors Tush. Some people get instant relief and others don’t. It’s noninvasive and worth a shot if it’s convenient to schedule and get to and from the office. Just don’t let them sell you on the “maintenance plan” aka “their kid’s college fund”

I don’t get it. Are you supposed to be able to see where the dick used to be in the first photo?
I had a chiropractor try to rip me off.
He tried pushing me into “intensive therapy”, but I figured it out on my own after seeing the x-rays.
Sitting on a wallet 8-10 hours a day makes you crooked.
I am biased against chiros. I have known three personally in my life, they were all sketchy weirdos with a chip on their shoulder about the other medical professions, and I certainly would not let any of them touch me, nevermind pay them for any kind of medical advice.
Of course, that was years ago and times have changed and I am sure the field is less sketchy now. No offense to any nonsketchy chiros here or lurking.
Just don’t let them sell you on the “maintenance plan” aka “their kid’s college fund”

Parents sometimes ask me if going to the chiropractor will help various maladies. I always reply in a noncommittal fashion of might help, might not, no evidence supports it but I won’t say you can’t. I figure if my response is an absolute NO YOU CAN’T!!! they will think I’m keeping their kid from a potential miracle cure. The one thing they do well that I readily endorse is relief of acute low back pain.
Alright, since none of you asshats came through for me, I’m going to leave this right here: http://is.gd/ooPGhW
Jimbro, my pain is more in the upper thigh area, definitely a pinched nerve. But the root cause is still in the vertebral column. As long as the chiropractor knows not to break my spine in half, I guess it is worth a try.
My back pain has subsided a lot, but the thigh pain is killing me.
Happy birthday, doc!
Sigh! MCPO!

I went to a chiro that my GP sent me to after I fubar’d my back.
He gave me a workout routine to build back muscle.
Took a couple x-rays, and sent me to an orthopod, as I had crushed the bottom two discs and there was nothing he could do to fix that.
Oh, and he sure can drink, but sometimes misses the driveway on the way out…

My brother has come up to visit at our camp with his whole family for the last couple of years. I hadn’t heard from him about this year and sending him an email has been on my task list for a while. You can imagine my surprise when he sent me a text informing me of his arrival today. Both Paula and I are working today and we’re already expecting a crowd on the 4th. Oh well, the more the merrier I guess. Just get it out of the way all at once. Hopefully our septic doesn’t overflow!
