Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I made the mistake of updating Firefox, and my computer has locked up three times in the last 45 minutes to the point where Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing. Going to try rolling it back, but in the meantime, Imma gonna throw a few photos and a song at ya and call it HHD.
My daughter said, “Mom, I hear these songs on the radio that I’ve never heard before, and you know all the words already!”
One.
Two.
Three.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

What kind of puppy is that?
Mare, it appears to be a smallish werewolf.
This is lauraw, on Scott’s computer. Too lazy to log out/log in.
Mare, that’s a cattle dog puppy. They start out white then the colors develop like a polaroid. Looks like he’s going to be a kind of blue cattle dog with the tan points. His head is probably going to darken up some.
And right now in that picture his fur is sooooo puppy soft.
Scott put a cork coaster *under* the coffee table glass top. So I’m sitting here with my coffee, I see a coaster, and go put my coffee on it. CLUNK. I’m like, why is that coaster so loud? And why is my cup hovering an inch above it?
A rogue pack of beavers put that coaster there.
Angry beavers?
Just remember with beavers, there’s a difference in how one speaks of what they build, and how one speaks of the beavers themselves…
/had to correct that for someone recently
He has a cool look, Lauraw.
Wowza!
What puppy?
Cyn, McCain results? I can’t find them anywhere.
Mornin’, fine people. And MJ.
BC, what kind of a gay avatard is that?
AZ was presidential preference primary. McCain/Ward is in August. Moron told me.
Watching Toshiro Mifune movies on TCM before work. Have to read subtitles. My favorite comes on the same time I have to get ready for work 😢
Thanks, Connie

Next question – how many bullwhips do you have shoved up your ass? (this morning)
You want Insults, that’s down the hall.
Yummy!
Bullwhips up the ass killed another thread. My work is done here.
Killer Bullwhips!
I just don’t have anything interesting to add to the conversation today.
You never do.
Why dont you link some ‘splosions then.
I exploded in your mom.
😂😂😂👊🏻
Surprising lack of good splodey videos on Youtube the last year or so. On the other hand, fewer guys dying in Iraq and A-stan.
I’ll take it.
The French were once a magnificent and powerful people, and many still are the solid and genuine sort beloved by God and neighbor. Unfortunately, the nation is now run by the descendants of the original terrorists.
And the language sounds silly.
The french language is a gathered group of toned farts, linked together by flapping lips, and well lubricated with verbal diarrhea.
THE COMPLETE MILITARY HISTORY OF FRANCE
Gallic Wars – Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian.
Hundred Years War – Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; “France’s armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman.”
Italian Wars – Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians.
Wars of Religion – France goes 0-5-4 against the
Huguenots.
Thirty Years War – France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.
War of Devolution – Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.
The Dutch War – Tied.
War of the Augsburg League/King William’s War/French & Indian War – Lost, but claimed as a tie. three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.
War of the Spanish Succession – Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved ever since.
American Revolution – In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as “de Gaulle Syndrome”, and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; “France only wins when America does most of
the fighting.”
French Revolution – Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.
The Napoleonic Wars – Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.
The Franco-Prussian War – Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France’s ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.
World War I – Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it’s like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn’t call her “Fraulein.” Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline.
World War II – Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.
War in Indochina – Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Hien Bien Flu.
Algerian Rebellion – Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; “We can always beat the French.”
This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.
War on Terrorism – France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald’s.
I enjoyed the JDAM compilation XBrad.
Does this mean that Hotspur is not a fan of the French?
1) St Joan of Arc was not a schizophrenic
2) If the French never won anything, how is there a France?
Good cheese and wine.
For most of history the nations that we think of in Europe were very loosely defined. Everyone was too busy fighting everyone else inside and outside their borders and didn’t have the resources to conquer and control the area that we think of as France.
Also, while there was a France, control of it shifted around quite a bit. The Vikings, the English, the Germans, and the Spanish all have taken turns carving out large chunks of France or putting their own rulers on the French throne.
I’m aware, Alex, I’m mostly being a pedant. I’d take the French aristocracy Robespierre overthrew over the current FedMonster any day.
I’m also that guy who persists in referring to the Carolingian founder as Karl der Gross.
Oh, I agree that the monarchy would have been better than the crap that they have today.
Anyone want to guess at what Louis XVI’s reaction to Islamic terrorism would be? Or the invasion of Europe?
Hell, James Madison would be Charles Martel compared to their current “leaders”.
Well, Lent ends tomorrow evening. Hope Beasn comes back.
Lent ends, but Good Friday is still a fasting and abstaining day, and many keep the fast through until Easter.
Beasn is surely one of these.
My sponsee is getting baptized/confirmed/first eucharist on Saturday night. I keep telling him now he just has to live sinlessly for the rest of his life and he’s all set.
No problem, It’s what I do.
Yeah, I will probably fast from tomorrow’s vigil mass until Saturday and go light until after the Easter vigil. I pretty much sucked at life this Lent, ended up in confession 3 times.

Welp! Much less infighting than the HQ! I’m liking this already…
Fuck all y’all.
Welp! Much less infighting than the HQ! I’m liking this already…
We’re generally sober during the daytime hours.
Cavil, we’re arguing over how much France sucks. I say a little, mostly because of their Revolution, Hotspur says a lot, because he’s wrong. SRS infighting is indeed afoot.
Well I already gave him some crap earlier on that front vis-a-vis the fate of the Templars, so carry on 😉
3 times, Leon???????
What the heck have you been up to?
On the other hand I went last week for the first time in fgythuuukjpp.
leon must be French.
Mare, my vices include sloth, gluttony, and lust, and not always in that order. Addiction is a tough thing to beat, and sometimes life throws things at you that make you more susceptible to relapse.
I went once before Lent to get ready, then again right after the start, then again just last week, so it really ends up beimg about once a month, but it feels like a lot lately. Lots of stressors => occasional retreat to bad coping mechanisms.
German and Irish, but my loathing of the English made me French-sympathetic.
Well, I always appreciate your honesty and insight.
German and Irish, but my loathing of the English made me French-sympathetic.

First, you suck. Second, you’re probably still pissed about Agincourt.
Third, German = Hitler. Sixth, Hitler = a little bit misunderstood. Ath, the Irish are a bunch of ne’er do wells.
God save the queen.
The Battle of Agincourt took place on my birthday.
First, you suck
——:
Hahahaha
Agincourt I get, I’m over it. The beheading Thomas More, though, I can’t let go.
Also that they keep sending us these awful pundits. Really inexcusable.
I have to agree with Leon’s last 2 comments.
Hitler had one tiny ball and a twisted crank. Pairr that with The Irish Curse and I can see a source of frustration.
>>>Hitler had one tiny ball and a twisted crank.
I – I don’t want to know what this means.
Freckles aren’t a curse, and I don’t have any anyhow.

Pupster’s gif is the story of America.

Winds and snow. Denver is getting slammed. Where I live there’s not snow, but the east side of the Springs is getting dumped on.

I keep hearing the squirrels right outside the dining room window. Or they might be inside the walls – Mr. TiFW kept promising to fix the hole under the overhang, but apparently he waited too long. :eyeroll:
The skritching noise is driving me crazy….

Leon, how many days can you leave chickens to fend for themselves?
Heard on the radio:
What do liposuction patients and Gawker have in common? They both have had their butts handed to them.
Pitcher or no pitcher?
No pitchers. We are thinking about getting some, but I would like to be able to leave town for a few days.
Chickens, not pitchers.
Leon, how many days can you leave chickens to fend for themselves?
If they have a solid enclosure and you have a large enough feeder/waterer, you can probably safely leave them for a day, but I don’t recommend it.
One day?
Stupid chickens.
I don’t know if our winds are at 55, PG, but they’ve been going for 2 days and the wind warning said “up to 75 mph”. Sucks worse than your mom.
When we got the ranch, they left chickens here. They were pretty much free range. We ignored them other than feeding them daily. I’ll get more sometime, I figure about 15 – 20% will make it. Lots of predators, and chickens are stupid.
When Bubba goes, it will be the first time in about 30 years that a dog wont be waiting for me at home. We’ll have the freedom to just take off for a long day trip, or even a weekend.
I am looking forward to that.
Our last real vacation was in 1998, we should try to work in another one.
It’s more about the surveillance than anything else. You could probably go longer with a big feeder and waterer, but if anything goes wrong you can’t fix it and risk losing birds.
I don’t believe in turn signals or using car horns. New Mexicans take turn signals as a challenge and honking at someone may get you shot. Other than that, Osocorgi is pretty spot on.
Chickens are outside, at least, so if you have a semi-trusted person who can check on them once a day and maybe gather eggs you’ll be fine, and they don’t even have to enter the house.
Seems to me that pitchers would be easier to keep than chickens.
Are you a pitcher or a catcher?
Somebody should invent an animal that lays egg and is smart enough to survive a long weekend.
And cross the road.
If you’re okay with losing a bird to happenstance now and then, you could get a big feeder and waterer and go ahead. They are mostly okay if well-fenced.
Raccoons and foxes gotta eat too.
Hostage Update: MJ was hospitalized with 6 plastic horses up his ass. Doctor described his condition as stable.
Bahahaha!
Sounds like my January, where I learned the hard way what a “cystoscopic dilation” is…
Keep fuckin’ that chicken
Welcome, Brother Cavil. What part of the country are you in?
Can you hear them, TiF?
Can you hear the silence of the squirrels?
The squirrels are waiting for them to fall asleep.
I was going to have Jencarlos Canela on HHD, but there’s not a single pic where he doesn’t look like a douche.
Leon, have you seen this?

A squirrel can chew through sheet rock in about 20 seconds.
i swear to f***ing Ch***t if it isn’t Ace and the bullshit at his page screwing with my calm, it’s twitter. It’s time we start ripping out routers by the roots and beating Costolo and Zuckerberg with them.

I hadn’t Alex, thanks. I’m occasionally giving Weidenkopf’s Glory of the Crusades a bit of my time, and his timeline in the early chapters matches that nicely.
>>>Did you? From your avatar I would say that’s debatable. 🙂
Hey, at least I have a funny and creative avatar, as opposed to some newbie wannabe-Trumpkin Cruzer-luzer Rubiot Kasich ass-licker Hillary Bernie supporter!
I was amused then annoyed by the sales rep today who didn’t know his own company history. We were talking about different coatings, and he argued with me about the existence of a particular one. “We never had anything like that.” Yeah, your company did, and here is the data from 2000. Turns out they changed the name.
Then he started to say what grade he was in in 2000, and I said get off my lawn.
Get off my lawn before a contractor drops a window on your head.
Contractor has to repair two lights that don’t work and a low stone wall they busted, and that’s it. Soooooooo ready to be done with this.
We were supposed to be done by Thanksgiving, and it’s iffy on being done before Easter.
I am trying to argue less as I get older, as I find I am wrong in my recollections more and more. I do bless a lot of hearts, though.
Pitcher or no pitcher?
Why do I tell you guys things?
Chickens can go two days fine if the structure is secure and you have big waterers/feeders.
As I get older I’m trying to leave my turn indicator on more on the highway and I’m trying to say “what” to people even if I heard what they said.
I think it spreads cheer.

Well I am secure enough in my manhood, or lack thereof, that I don’t need to try and gussy it up with some fancy dancy picture.
“Can you hear them, TiF?
Can you hear the silence of the squirrels?”
The only time those damn critters are silent is when Mr. TiFW comes home.
Now that I think about it, maybe he’s “Gaslighting” me….
Straight outta MGM in the AL here. Currently dipping my toe in…oh screw it, jumping in face-first to establish a backup in case Ace’s Place dissolves into civil war…

“A squirrel can chew through sheet rock in about 20 seconds”
Fortunately for us (or not), all of our walls have 1″ of wood behind all of the sheetrock.

I don’t know WTF people are talking about, however, Obama and his idiotic,nonsensical, childish, wave display in a communist country, high fiving dictators and posing in front of pictures (proudly) of a POS who was a meriless butcher well is there anything that makes an educated American more proud than that?
Mare, maybe I can Oso translate. What esplaining do you need help with?
i had never thought about how tugboats would have gotten to our various dispersed ports… it’s like having a bulldog swim across a river

Conestoga was an ocean going tug. A fleet tug, as it were. A trip to Hawaii should have been no problem for her.
Just watched Obama “dancing” at that state dinner. What a fucking loser. For a hundred bucks and a couple of weeknights you could learn the basic steps for Argentine tango. Hell, I’m sure the White House staff could find a teacher in DC to instruct him before the trip.
And apparently he refused the dancer’s invitation several times before finally agreeing to dance. You never turn down an invitation to dance from a beautiful woman. Never.

Dan is a wee bit stressed dealing with MiL and SiL. Our CiL loaned Dan his truck. Another CiL is helping us load and move tomorrow. Nephews and BiL are AWOL. SiL is helping us by taking clothing over. Dan is refraining from unloading on SiL. MiL has been calling daily. She’s afraid. She’s anxious. She can’t remember that she’s called several times already. Calls again.

4.25? LUXURY!!! G’night Jammy.
I took lots of film classes in college. Hybrid History/Film classes. American Studies film classes. I still can’t believe how many times I got credit for watching movies. I was in Film Club in Middle School. My dad would let us miss school if we stayed up late watching a “Classic”. My dad’s idea of classic was eclectic. Huge fan of the RKO.
Dan had never watched a B&W movie, before marrying me. His parents were totes Catholic League. He had barely seen R rated movies. I’m still trying to get him up to date. Lost cause for the most part. No Casablanca. No Key Largo, No Double Indemnity.
He’s never seen Shane, High Noon, or The Searchers.
No RKO Creature Features. No Nick & Nora. No Humphrey Bogart.
I don’t think I’ll ever get him to watch my beloved Toshiro movies with me. B&W and sub-titles? Ha!
