Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. The first pic of the day reminded me of “Wicked Game“, so there’s our song.
See what I mean?
Almost decided to make it a black and white theme today.
Someone who uses Axe who’s over 21.
Decided color was okay.
Especially the silver on this fox.
I usually like to see eyes and a smile, but this one…
And that will do for today. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I went and wandered a shopping mall with my wife yesterday. First time I’ve done that in years. You know they have stores that only sell caps? Nothing else but caps. Not a kiosk either. An actual fucking store with nothing in it but caps. How in the fuck can one make a living selling only one item? What a fucking country.
I get in the actual mall every 3 or 4 years in Bangor. We went to the Portland mall 3 years ago and that’s the only time I’ve been in there since I’ve lived in Maine. Pretty sure Portland has a baseball hat store. Could be wrong. I’ll confirm that for you sometime in the next 5 to 10 years.
I’ve seen those. We had one get robbed recently during mall hours. Guy took “$7000 worth” of merchandise.
The first hat store was opened in 1488 by the Earl of Hattington in Leicester, England. It’s amazing that his family still owns a few all hat franchises like ‘Lids’.
wakey wakey
What a way to close out HHD for the year.
**BUNK!**
Crossfit this morning? This coffee better get working faster.
It is a strong HHD.
Speaking of which – I watched “Selfless” last night. It was better than average but it at Ryan Reynolds in it so I may have been distracted.
OMG “Lids” is one of my favorite stores!!1
Cross fit.
I did a bootcamp workout yesterday and it’s possible that I’m dead and commenting while doing push-up jacks in hell.
Our last little workout last night was incredibly hard. It didn’t sound as hard as it was.
Thrusters are the debble. Whore moufs. Shut.
Never see these men in Wal-Mart. Please explain.
Kettle bells and dolphins?
This is a whole new world for me. A painful, hard to get off the toilet, world.

I can do kettlebells swings all day long. It’s the thrusters. Ugh.
It’s really too cold out to garden today.
I have to take a test for someone today. It would be sort of embarrassing if I didn’t pass.
Stats is for losers.
My art arrived last night! I ordered Pat a piece from the artist featured two weeks ago. It is really cool. I’m going to get another for his b-day.
I got one of the camper ones – I want a tree one next. She has an esty store.
Can you link it Carin?
>> I can do kettlebells swings all day long. It’s the thrusters. Ugh
Please continue
Too many kettlebells means we never get to the thrusters. Fair Warning.
JFK totally fucked up the men’s dress hat business. Carry on.
This is her store: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TaraleeGuildGallery
Lee Harvey Oswald killed it.
This is the one I got:
Her stuff is good. It would make for a great hat pattern down at Lids.
I like the landscapes
I like the landscapes a lot too but Pat was smitten with the camper ones and it was a gift for him.
I do like them both though.
The camper is sort of a reverse landscape
*leaves low hanging fruit out to tempt XBrad*
I prefer reverse cowgirl.
I’m always surprised at how hard thrusters can be. I used to do them with just the bar and a couple of dimes as a warm-up and it would get my heart hammering in very little time.
I’ve told all my friends that if they ever catch me wearing one of those hats with a flat oversized brill to just shoot me. IGive all of you the same directive.
I’m not going to bother applying for any nursing internships for next Summer. At my business I worked six days a week for fourteen years, no vacays. The thought of spending two months of what could be my last Summer off working in the hospital makes my stomach sink to my shoes.
I might apply for a job there toward the end of Summer, though. We’ll see.

Im having breakfast in San Francisco and heading back to the redwoods thereafter for more contemplative broodery.
It seems that I am being pulled into working in Hollywood again and I giess that is a good thing.
I’ll be coming back to civ on 3 Jan. Car In, Im so pleased that you are supporting such a noce artist. Im sure she apprieciates that very much.
Im Looking forward to seeing ye all in AZ. The shirts/swag are almost ready. Rally the quarters from your couches and automobiles.
On and on.
Paula had the inside track for her job after working as a tech in her department for years. Hard to get that in just 2 months during an internship. Enjoy the summer and start meeting and greeting future bosses along the way.
My daughter just finished the second of two 3 month internships for her OT cert. I’m big time ready for her to get a paying job.
Thanks, Jimbro! It has been an unnecessarily agonizing decision. Finally I asked myself last night, “If this is the obvious right thing to do, why am I stalling like crazy?”
I feel positively buoyant right now. I can’t fear *not* getting a job in the future because I didn’t do an internship. That’s just silly.

Anyone else reading this as “The Hostage Sexercise Blog”?
Internships are for resumes, aren’t they? Although I guess you could springboard into a job from one. Usually they don’t hire out of that, and it’s for relatives of executives.
At least where I work it is.
Although I got a job from my only internship. That was more of a job, since that paid better than making pizzas.

Yes. I’m sure you do.

Cause ya need a break?
Any ideas for a slogan for TITS2?
Had a few Chadisms come to mind.
I was too overly served to remember some of Rosetta’s and Wiser’s offerings. Hopefully TiFW can remember some of those.
My choice, on the left breast of the shirt is TITS2 (the old logo), in an arc underneath is the immortal Chadism: This Dick Ain’t Gonna Suck Itself!
Doesn’t sound so frivolous when you put it that way.
Yes. I’m sure you do.
Really, you thought you had to define that for this crowd?
I never did an internship, though I did work as what could have been an apprentice if I’d pursued it. Sadly, I did not feel called to be a master baker.
I’m not sure I understand the point of those comments, leon.
Got to admit, that shirt would sell like crazy.
Probably should trademark that before Chad does, but I guarantee you he has said a hundred crazier things since then.
Or since this morning.
My guess is that RIGHT NOW Leon has 5 bullwhips up the ass whilst performing a kettlebell stand in the reverse cowgirl position.
Ho Lee Fuk.
This is the shit my mom links on Facedouche. She’s insane.

Sorry, got to get this all out of system before the wife and kids get here this afternoon.
They were in DC seeing the sights/museums/deadpeople.
I was on call for the job. I got paid and I wasn’t one of the people flooded in STL.
Seriously, am I the only person who looks at a topographical map before I buy a house? This shit ain’t hard.
Oh wait, most of the flooded neighborhoods are trailer parks.
res ipsa loquitur
Oh wait, most of the flooded neighborhoods are trailer parks.
As fun as it is to make jokes about trailer parks, I’d argue that they often suffer the most damage from floods, tornadoes, etc, precisely because everyone does their research. Trailer parks tend to be built in areas where land is cheap, usually because anyone else knows the risks and can afford to build elsewhere. When you’re poor, you don’t have other options.
Of course, the OWNERS of the trailer parks are the ones who make the decision to put the park there. They most likely have money. They are the ones who prey on the ignorance.
I’m always surprised at how hard thrusters can be. I used to do them with just the bar and a couple of dimes as a warm-up and it would get my heart hammering in very little time.
Yea – they’ll get you going . We had to do sets of 21, 15, 9 (along with TTB and Burpees) yesterday. Rx was 65 but 55 was about all I could do and complete it in the given time.
Today I went over for the WOD. IT was double unders and dead lifts. 100/10, 80/8, 60/6, 40/4, and 20/2. We had 13 minutes. It took me 14.
double unders are hard for me. Take me a while. I may work on them before work. i also got a yoga tape for us. I’ll give that a whirl tomorrow.
Of course, the OWNERS of the trailer parks are the ones who make the decision to put the park there. They most likely have money. They are the ones who prey on the ignorance.
They may have money, but buying land anywhere else means you have to charge more to your tenants, which means fewer tenants.
i also got a yoga tape for us.

Pussy
Co Alex,
I get it and i was out filling sand bags for the last two days.
But, there are ‘mobile home communities’ for the same price in my town.
And we’re on a bluff.
If you watch the local news in STL the last few days you’re left with the thought that that these are people that were never equipped to make good choices or people who just gambled knowing the risks.
Either way, we’re all bailing them out. Literally in my case.
If you watch the local news in STL the last few days you’re left with the thought that that these are people that were never equipped to make good choices or people who just gambled knowing the risks.
Oh, no doubt that many of the poor have a history of bad choices and failure to assess the risk/reward ratio for their behavior. Theodore Dalrymple made that point in his writings, IIRC.
I got a hard yoga tape. If there is such a thing. (I kid – I did the P90x yoga for a while and that was hard.) My daughter wanted a yoga tape so I just insured I got one that I would use too.
They may have money, but buying land anywhere else means you have to charge more to your tenants, which means fewer tenants.
The owners of these places … don’t get me started. They don’t pay property tax in the proper amount – etc. I was once informed in detail about it. Basically – you get a bunch of these in one town (like Lapeer) and you have a bunch of kids not supported properly by the tax base.
Dalyrymple FTW!
We have now become a ‘smart blog’.
The fact that that i get the reference leads to the obvious question:
How many bullwhips did Thomas Dalyrymple have up his ass when he wrote that?
My vote is 4.
And one of them was against his will.
I have some friends who rent trailers in these parks. It’s not cheap.
I am reading “Wilder shores of Marx” by Dalrymple. I have to finish it so I can return and read that Vox Day book.
We have now become a ‘smart blog’.
A “smart fitness/gardening/diet” blog.
Sexercise blog.
>>>these are people that were never equipped to make good choices<<<
So, their whole life is basically like an H2 meatup weekend.
I would imagine that if you’re renting a trailer in a park, you probably can’t get anything else due to bad credit or what have you.
I’ll never buy a Vox Day book. The man is a piece of crap, unoriginal, and a mediocre writer. His decent ideas have all be said better by other people.
Vox Day?
I love his stuff and (to a point) his politics.
How did your libertarian experiment of the drinking glasses work out?
I liked your initial approach.
I owned a mother-daughter yoga video once.
Well, Stepmother-Daughter’s Friend. They were very clear on that in the title.
>> Doesn’t sound so frivolous when you put it that way.
You’ve been busting ass for a long time, school, Obama job.
Won’t hurt to give yourself a break. Be good for you
Co Alex,
Should have rephrased it.
I like the way Vox aggressively responds. Not my style, but someone needs to do it.
My man is Larry Corriea:
http://monsterhunternation.com/
Great writer, good libertarian, and a good man.
Plus! His books kick ass.
Crap, the wife and kids will be here in an hour!
Time to wake up the shih-tzus and get this place up to speed!
I’m not sure I understand the point of those comments, leon.
That I never did an internship, or that I decided not to master bake?
OK, the carpet’s clean.
The dishwasher is empty (with nothing left to wash ‘Car In’).
Laundry is done and on hangers.
I think I’m ready for the family to come back.
Crap, brb, need to delete browser history.
And I always forget something…
Shit, gotta hide the empties! Told you I always forget something!
I mostly wanted to encourage Laura to skip it if that’s her intuition and she can afford it. I found work without.
Honestly, I just really really want to chill out but never do it. Always on to the next project.
I’m going to be visiting people for the next two days, then working the next two days after that. So since I’m off right now, my intuition says it’s time to make a nice baked chicken and have a beer.
http://is.gd/e1kzhZ
And thanks, Leon. Sorry about the engineer knocks last night. I should always preface with ‘present company excluded.’ Like I do with black jokes.
Skip the chicken and treble the beer. You’ll thank me later.
Too late, it’s in the oven as we speak. I rubbed it with red pepper paste and garlic powder and put some lemon chunks in the pot. This should be interesting.
House is gonna smell really nice when Scott gets home from work.

How did your libertarian experiment of the drinking glasses work out??
I can’t last 3 hours on “kitchen strike.” I can’t STAND a dirty kitchen. I phoned in a friend (Pat) to deal with it. I was in too pissy of a mood. He bribed the children. The other kids were pissed that one got $$ to do it (but it was money we owed him anyway – lol).
As for Vox Day – I can rent it for free from kindle loan. It’s something to read.
I hope Phat got everything back in place in time.
“is Bill Clinton’s past “fair game”? How can that even be a question. FUCK yea that shit’s fair game.
WTF is wrong with people?
Anything that reflects on the judgment and values of someone who is applying for the job of leading your country is fair game. Like, for instance, how many fucking times you voted present as a senator.
Or you were involved in handling the “bimbo eruptions.”
I think one child needs to go to economics class. Bribed with owed money? You should be in politics.
I know right? It was a stroke of genius
Oh Yeah Billy’s past behavior is on the table and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in this day and age of SJW’s and “rape culture” and Bill Cosby’s criminal charge….Trump is going to mitigate Bills ability to assist Hillary, by diminishing his popularity and at the same time paint her as a enabler.
I still havn’t decided bout Trump…. but he is playing the media like a fiddle and his campaign seems to be tactically strong
Trump knows the media game. Gotta give him that!
About the only positive thing I can say about trump is that he may save us from four or eight years of HRC. Low fucking bar.
“is Bill Clinton’s past “fair game”? How can that even be a question. FUCK yea that shit’s fair game.

They’re desperate. They realize that Hillary! is a disaster of a candidate and Trump is willing to go to the mat against her.
I’ve been saying for a while that Hillary! isn’t going to get the support of women the way Obama got the black vote. Group dynamics work differently with woman than men.
If someone can effectively educate the younger voters as to what a total cad bjc is and has been all his life, it takes away a major advantage she is prolly counting on I. The general, the help of a master politician and campaigner. If she has to hide him next sept and oct it’s gonna hurt her bad.
“Low fucking bar”
…..and ANYTHING will be an improvement.
Like I do with black jokes.
That’s all the courtesy I ask.
JTFC
Also, cock.
My evo-psych, utterly misogynistic speculation is that women as a herd tend to vote for the candidate they feel will best protect them, regardless of actual policy prescriptions, and secondarily for the person with the highest status*.
By that logic, Trump would get the majority of the female vote against Hillary. My gut says that Cruz would lose women but get a bigger slice of Hispanics.
*By the same token, I think men tend to vote for the guy they’d rather drink with or who’d be a better guy to have your back in a bar fight. Men won’t vote for Hillary at all, but they might vote for Bill again. If Bill’s radioactive and not campaigning, Hillary literally cannot win men, and thus cannot win.
Present company excluded, of course. I’m talking LIV tendencies.
If Bernie runs as a 3rd party she’ll lose the FSA too.
Is Bill Clinton’s past fair game?
The Left: Bill Clinton is the greatest living president, nay, the greatest president of all time, but his past isn’t fair game.
The Right: The fuck, you say?
The Left: Racist.
The Right: Replace the c with a p and you’re correct.
The Left: I was told there’d be no math.
The Right: FYNQ
End of Daddy Day Care workday, momma home. Agenda for the remainder of the day:
1) Feed horses because I need to get out of the house
2) Whiskey and soda or gin and ginger-ale, TBD
3) Fallout 4 until I collapse
Heh, good one, MJ!
You have a point, Leon. Intellectually I like Cruz’s political game and stated principles, yadda yadda, would vote for him.
In my gut, as a female, purely at a primitive level, I just don’t like his looks. It’s 100% a trust thing. He has a weasel face. Would not share a beer with this person. Would not share a cab either.
No it’s not fair, basic gut responses rarely are. Nor does it matter to what I will actually do in the voting booth.
But I’m a committed partisan, of course.

Bills win in 1992 give Dems the White House after twelve years away. They were willing to go to the mat for him no matter what.
Younger women today have had seven years of an incompetent Dem administration. Being asked to continue to justify and make excuses may be a bridge too far. Especially since they’ve been fed a lot more BS about rape culture and sexual harassment.
I actually have the same issue with Cruz, Laura, until I hear him speak for a few minutes, then it usually fades. Can’t choose the face God gives you, I guess.
If Cruz looked like Warren Beatty in his prime he’d be walking away with this thing and Hillary would already have dropped out of the race (read: been told to step aside by her donors) for “health issues”.
Evening.
Standing next to Hillary he looks like Warren Beatty in his prime.
True.
When Hillary’s face finally melts will she look like Helen Thomas?
Someone should throw a bucket of water on her so we can find out.
BBF political edition.
Croatian boobies killed it.
Nah, just had to watch it a couple times.

This is really interesting. I’ve been wondering about this for a few months, although I assumed I was just being a weirdo.
CONFIRMED: WE’RE ALL WEIRDOS.
However, I have the opposite opinion. I think he has a presidential looking face. His voice is what gets me.
I love his message and he’s quite brilliant, I just wish he sounded like Barry White.
Next to Hillary, he sounds like Barry White.
This is none too subtle and completely unfair, but still…
http://is.gd/tegK7g
My concern w Cruz is that a fairly sizeable portion of the squishes will reflexively vote agin him because Texan.
I say we vote for the Croatian chick.
Messicans don’t like Cruz or Rubio. There is a definite anti-Cuban vibe in the Latinx community. Trump actually has support in the legal Messican community. I’m not the only Messican that gets pissed off by illegals.

A lot of the Messicans hate illegals.
I started making the case to my Mexican friends five or six years ago that if ANYBODY ought to be against unrestricted immigration it ought to be the mexicans who are here already. They are the ones whose jobs are most at risk of being taken by hungry folks willing to work for less. The professional class isn’t going to be replaced by illegals.
Pepe, yep. There’s a reason TFG isn’t settling the childrens army from Central America in NM.
Did anybody finally give up on dropping subtle hints and finally just tell anybody else outright that they should stop buying the slim-fit pants today?
PG Cesar Chavez was against illegals. Our Messican illegals don’t want Guatemalens or Salvadoreans here.
Sean, I want to beat every man-bun sporting, skinny jean-wearing, metrosexual freak I meet. Today, it was a gay native wearing pointy toed boots with his skinny jeans, man-bun, and over-sized off shoulder Flashdance tee.

I was with Penelope’s mom at a store. Salesperson addressed her in Spanish and she went off “This is America, we speak english here….” “I’m not from Mexico.!!!”
I still have not seen a man-bun.
We probably export more millennial d-bags than any other state.
Pepe, yep. Very few people know that I’m a coyote. I have friends that speak less Spanish than I do. Messicans yell at them in Spanish. They are betraying La Cultura. Whatev. Speak English.
Scott, I have had loser co-workers tell me it’s a top-knot. I don’t work with any Japanese people. Man-bun.
Lady Roamy, this may be the best HHD EVER!!!!
Oso, I saw a tshirt at El Mercado in San Antonio this week that said:
tu eres un pendejo
(I am your friend).
Is that translation just a little loose?
I didn’t buy one. They didn’t have my size.
I recognize some of them from MMM.
PG you know exactly why that shirt is funny!!!
I think there was a restaurant in NYC called C.O. Jones. They were forced to change the name. Most Messicans I know, mispell cojones as CAjones. My mom is one.
If you own a samurai sword and a full set of armor, you may call it a top-knot. Otherwise, it’s a man-bun.
I think the furry that shops at the Club is transitioning to female. Last few times, no tail, no ears. Boobs and skirts.
That whole sentence is why I hate humanity.
Also, my stepfather’s niece showed up at his house with her “boyfriend” who used to be her girlfriend. Stepdad managed to keep his mouth shut.
One of my RL friends has a daughter that became a mom at 15. Then she was a militant lesbian for several years. Just married a guy and they are expecting. I can’t even…
Leon, check the ONT.
I don’t deny that some people are born gay, but I do think that there are a number who look to it as a way of avoiding other issues in their lives. You see this a lot with the radical feminists, for whom lesbianism is a radical political act.
Posted without comment.
CoAl, I’ve seen it go sideways. Gays that have always been attracted to the same gender. People that were molested and not able to deal with the after affects. One of my friends still struggles with his sexual identity. Getting past the pleasurable aspects of being molested by the same sex as a child. Similar to the whole incest dealio and sexualization. Conflict.
