Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I played the flute part (this one time at band camp) of the Paul Simon arrangement some time in high school. I didn’t like the lyrics then and still don’t.
Today’s poat inspiration was who’s having a birthday today.
Michael Rooker
Miguel Angel Silvestre
Teddy Sears
And a couple of Paul Rudd.
Does everything look better in black and white?
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I lost a day somewhere. Keep thinking it’s Thursday for some reason. I was on call last weekend and had to go to work both days which tends to throw the mental calendar off.
So glad HHD arrived to straighten you out Jimbro.
It serves a useful funtion
wakey wakey
Unless it’s football season, all days are pretty much the same for me.
Yep.
Suck it up, buttercup. It’s baseball season!
Awesome. it’s snowing.
Oh wait. I spoke to soon. It’s snowing and hailing.
The snowflakes are about the size of quarters It’s honestly the Apocalypse.
xBrad posted an awesome tribute to his mom on Facebook. She was quite an extraordinary woman.
Our big beautiful Magnolia tree started to bloom a couple of days ago.
Frost turned the flowers brown.
Same here. Our cherry blossomed, er, blossomed, then it got into the 30s.
In 5 years there will be no life on earth.
That was a good one, HS
2 years ago a freeze destroyed the cherry crop here, too. That sucks!
We have a different way of looking at things here:
Trees bloom -> pollen -> everything turns yellow -> can’t breathe -> eff that noise
If we would just pass Climate Change legislation, we wouldn’t have these weather issues.
Right?
Well, it’s raining here. April showers bring May flowers.
what do April snowstorms bring?
I just purchased a 4 cylinder car for GND. I’m doing my part on cylinder justice.
what do April snowstorms bring?
Viking longboats.
Where’s Leon and what does he think of BCAA?
Well, I’m off to the store. It’s soup making weather and I’m out of fixens.
Other than some rogue crocuses planted over 15 years ago I haven’t seen anything in bloom around my yard. The bees are still alive and I think I’ll need to get them set up with some sugar water soon.

hahahaa
my daughter was rooting for uconn before the end of the first half…
heh –
monday was square root day.
happy belated square root day.
the next one will be may 5th 2025
How does baseball season help with what day it is? They play all the time.
Every year it gets warm, trees bloom, hard freeze.
When are you gonna buy me a new car, MJ? Spread the wealth….
Here is our magnolia in full bloom. http://is.gd/rGIkXf
That really blows, Scott.

Crabs.
Wait, that’s your mom. Never mind.
Not a fan of Girl Scout cookies. Paula buys boxes of them out of social obligation but I’d rather have the family recipe fruitcake as a winter time sweet with my tea. And, as I think we’ve discussed here before, the Girl Scouts have been taken over by the militant feminist branch of the SJW’s and they now have a badge you can earn by touring an abortion mill.
Buenos Dias, Tards of Fuck.
I love eating girl scout cookies. The Girl Scouts on the other hand at too young and their mamas are generally too fat. So I stick to th cookies.
I love eating your mom.
Yall are about the same age.
According to Jared, the best dessert for a Subway sandwich is a Brownie.
saw this at yapoo news:
the kids mom went nuts on faceturd

At my age, it seems that most reasonably slender women are attractive to me. There are definitely exceptions though.
I got kicked out of Boy Scouts for eating brownies.
oopppsss – i meant to tinyurl that…. could someone kill the link for me? (thanks)
butt crack showing for those of you who are butt crack sensitive
jam – I believe that is so much horseshit. I don’t even know where to start.
Here – I’ve got one:
It it takes for a woman to get asked out on dates: put out on first date.
bam.
Thanks, Hotspur but my sister wrote that. I just added the pics and posted it.
It was a beautiful tribute to Pogo.
Thanks. She was a LOT of fun when I was younger, but honestly, she was very bitter and mean after dad died, and especially the last couple years.
You probably caught most of it, too. Sorry to hear that, xbrad. Sounds like quite a lady.
I don’t do Girl Scout cookies. Unfortunately they support baby killing, otherwise they’d make a shit load of money off me. Their newer recipe has no dairy. Feminists like to f*ck up the fun for everyone.
she was very bitter and mean after dad died
Sorry to hear that.
Though, I’d be grumpier/depressed if something happened to my nicer half.
On the other hand, you are a good son and looked after her. That is a wonderful thing.
I don’t think I realized just how overwhelming UCONN ladies basket ball is.
Their record over the last 123 games is 122-1.
Squishy hugs for XB.
I watched a little of the uconn Oregon state game. It was very clear that each of the five of uconns players were much better than each of the five beaver players. You don’t see that level of inequality in a semi-final matchup very often. It makes me wonder how the table got SO fucking tilted in women’s bb. Something ain’t right.
Merle’s dead. Never cared much for his music but a lot of folks did.
All the really top recruits go to UConn. Baylor got the last top recruit that didn’t go to the Huskies, Brittney Griner. Used to be all Pat Summitt at Tennessee.
What J’ames said. Except, I would add the Britney was a dude.
FTR, Monday was the first day I wasn’t still suffering from the H2N1 Tempe Flu and its aftereffects.
PG, Merle’s the only 9/11 Truther I would still listen to. He went to jail for breaking into a bar that wasn’t closed. Not the brightest bulb, but I loved his music
Checked my email and I just picked up four trumpkins as followers on twitchnutz. My Twitter spew may turn into a river of shit here shortly.

some mfer is passing my creditcard number around – this is the 3rd time in 6 months. i use the damn things for business. having my parts orders declined is f’ing with my inner peace.
i usually reserve the “baseball bat to the temple” for mass murderers and pedo’s – but these card hackers might get bumped to the top of the list.
now my thursday – friday schedule is f*kd
I wonder if the Hank Williams movie “I Saw The Light” will be any good. I liked Walk the Line.
and car in is right re:
“put out on first date.
bam.”
she’s either a psych major or a dude
Sometimes I see orders for diet pills on my credit union card. Who orders $79 worth of worthless diet pills? So far they just remove the charge. Got the diet pills once, they wouldn’t take them back.
BCAA are of pretty limited utility, IMO. Only population that needs them are folks training really hard, while fasting, who can’t eat or get a protein shake in for over an hour after training.
I keep forgetting my chocolate milk for after workout. It’s a half hour drive home.
i got a $172 charge for a local newspaper that i wouldn’t let my daughters’ dog shit on… wtf
And the “don’t be too fat” thing is more true as a woman approaches “the Wall”.
Men don’t need all that stuff on the left at all, though. Plenty of utterly worthless men get dates/laid/have offspring. 0bama senior, for instance. Or Sean’s Penis.
“I Saw the Light” isn’t getting good reviews. Which probably means it’s worth seeing.
X i’m glad your hiv/dengue/ebola hybrid affliction has been mitigated
If you didn’t smoke so damn much, it would have been gone ages ago.
Damn, I have to go to Mesa for a knife deal. I’m hoping the flu will have flown to a different location by then.
I don’t think I have been sick since quitting. Hands to the mouth all day is just asking for it.
Between me working in the office, Paula in the ER and the boys at 2 different schools I count it as a miracle I’m not sick more often.
Hehe, nice one, Dana:

Is it Zumba, Jimbro?
We’ve had the zumba virus in Maine but it was from a traveler to the Caribbean not from native skeeters
Workout #2 of the week in progress. It’s like a winning streak.
I’ve been in a good mood all day.
Trump should get his ass kicked more often.
Yea!
I got the ’tiller mounted on the Kubota!
Another day, or two, of dry and I’ll be able to get into the garden without sinking up to the frame.
Up until March 30, we had 5 straight months of daily rain.
We are up 6″ on the yearly average, with 6 months left to go.
Life in the Pacific North Wet…
The girl scouts can shove their baby killing, climate change cookies up their asses.
Oh, and Kasich’s face is supremely punchable.
Scott, I’ve been in a great mood too. Listening to the Trumpsters loose their shit has been fun.
hahaha, I’m keeping the typo. It works.
Jimbro, are you near Bar Harbor?
The jerks at the capital figured out how to cut $500,000,000 million from the budget. HUGE….PAINFUL….CUTS
2.5% of the budget.
We’ve probably cut household budget by 50%.
Assholes.
I think he’s about an hour away, Mare.
That’s only about half of what they needed to cut.
They decided that revenue growth would take care of the rest.
HA HA HA HA ha ha ….. good one.
Tigers game is on at the bar. Currently up 2 to 0.
This won’t last.
I rode my motorcycle to Bar Harbor for dinner once.
I was really craving lobster.
“We’ve probably cut household budget by 50%.
Assholes.”
you can hear the clock a tickin’ on the budget bombs around the nation…
i go from being pissed off about the waste to being perplexed as to whether or not the f’sticks currently prancing around in government realize that the end isn’t going to be pleasant for them either.

Keep an eye out for news from Vegas.
“MN man was detained after rampage through Sands Convention Center. Claims he just wanted people to ‘watch where they were going’ and not ‘block the walkways’ and ‘stop right in front of him when their phones beeped’. Sources say 14 people are recovering from cellphoneectomies, a 15th victim is still in surgery after his iPad was broken in half and forced down his throat.”
HUGE….PAINFUL….CUTS

This infuriates me, they really don’t care that their stupid policies actually impact people.
Obamacare was tough on us (we don’t have it, but losing our really good, affordable insurance cost us a shit ton).
One hour to Bar Harbor this time of year. Add a half hour in the summer.
Paula actually looked at doing a travel nurse gig down there for a 13 week contract. Double her salary now as a per diem ER nurse. Someone else took it. She’s looking elsewhere in Maine. 3 days in a row, 4 days off with a housing allowance if it’s more than “x” miles away.
*where x is some number like 60 or something she told me 1.000,000 times and I forgot.
I’m pretty sure Ted Cruz puts 5W30 synthetic in his hair.
I met a couple, paramedics I think, that worked a two weeks on / two weeks off schedule. They spent their off weeks backpacking.
No rent and no mortgage.

========
He’s already whining about them stealing the nomination at the convention. I’m thinking, if he can’t even play winning politics with his own party, he’s gonna be totally over his head in Washington.
I just hope they don’t steal it from Cruz too.
Mitch McConnell will give the best concession speech.
He should run.
Travel nurses have a pretty good set up where they can work for a few months with rooms paid for and a higher salary than the staff a their host hospital. If they move between 2 or 3 hospitals they learn the systems there and get to know a lot of the staff. I’ve worked with some nurses that are here for a few months in the summer year after year.
We need a maverick.
The population of Maine must fluctuate a lot.
Now that I think about it, Republicans seem to drag their mothers out quite a bit.
Maybe they should run.
There are probably a lot of summer opportunities in places like Cape Cod and Nantucket.
I started reading that Girl Scout dissertation while I was stuck in telecon hell. The worst part so far, besides the liberal crap, was the girl who wanted to organize a Slut Walk for her Gold Award. Gold Award used to be equivalent to the Boy Scout Eagle rank and was community service, not dressing up 12-year-olds as skanks and bleating about rape culture. I wonder if it was approved because it is, after all, California.
I’ll tell you how I’m educating Mini-me about rape culture. It’s not walking in a parade in stripper gear with a misspelled sign. Don’t accept a drink unless you see it poured, don’t leave your drink where someone could put something in it, don’t get drunk, don’t do drugs, don’t hang out with guys you don’t trust or who stare at your tits too much, don’t let things go too far, and if he’s not taking no for an answer, knee him in the balls, twist his ears, scratch his face. Hang out with the guys who treat you like a lady, and treat them with respect in return.
I’m trying to decide if this Ph.D woman is going to be a crazy cat lady, scarfing her Samoas alone, or married to a likeminded neoliberal metrosexual.
Somebody should set Kasich on fire. Then stab him in the face. Then kick him in the nuts.
The coastal areas get slammed in the summer so Bar Harbor, Blue Hill, Maine Coast, Rockport, Damariscotta all need help.
Looks like someone already did that.
The reason you see republican mothers is, democrat mothers are either dead from or experiencing secondary syphilis.

Mini-me has a good mom.
I mean, what the fuck is Kasich doing? He hasn’t won shit. Has no chance of winning shit, and is too big an asshole to admit he never had a chance from the start.
Who donates money to a retard?
Thanks, Scott. Tell me if I’m missing something.
He may be the nominee.
Because the GOP sucks.
Plus, he can deliver Ohio.
Ohio gave us Obama, twice.
They deserve the Browns and Bengals.
I knew a guy who was a fireman. Worked 2 days in a row, 48 hours, then was off for 5 days. What a gig.

I pay taxes, it’s kinda the same thing…..
Yeah, Pepe, but there’s a gun to your head for that shit.
People are sending Kasich money voluntarily.
Is he siphoning votes off Cruz or Trump? Not sure.
Paid to sleep. Awesome.
Talk to any city administrator, and they will tell you the biggest pains in the ass are the firemen and cops. They get whatever they want because – PUBLIC SAFETY and WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?
It’s a crock.
Our fire department is volunteer, and they are really good
It’s cops and teachers here.
Any budget cuts and cops and firemen come first…… at least that’s what they threaten.
The police force is mostly pregnant women, handicapped kids, and disabled vets.
I agree about volunteer fire departments. Those guys do it because they really care.
Fire departments are kind of a scam at this point. There are basically no fires so they respond to every incident that police and ambulances go to.
It makes their numbers look really good so they don’t get closed.
The fire station across from my old place in Charlotte got called all day, every day.
$400K trucks dispatched to fender benders.
OTOH, the VFD from the township next over to John Donovan, a long time milblogger, did a controlled burn this weekend during red flag conditions. And of course, the fire jumped the property line and is burning his property. And they’re acting like they’re doing him a favor while he has to stay up all night to ensure his barn doesn’t get burned down.
True story:
I was eating pizza and having a beer with GND last spring outside of the Charlotte AAA stadium.
Mentally ill homeless guy was bothering people.
Cops, ambulance, and fire department show up. The fire truck blocked the street.
Eventually he was asked to move along.
Crisis averted.
It’s a good thing that you moved along,
He kind of looked like your avatar.
Except black.
I listen to ‘Pierce County Fire’ calls on the scanner, all day.
Motor vehicle accidents, ODs, fires, strokes, diabetic incidents, shootings, heart attacks, and assaults. ALL DAY LONG.
These guys are not sleeping in the Fire House.
Saturday night at 2300 I woke-up to “DAYLIGHT!”. There were two deputies, fire, and a tow-truck in front of the house. It was daylight from the white strobes on the ends of the light-bars on the deputies rigs.
They were covering the tow-truck pulling the wreck out of our north pasture. Another southbound who was drunk, asleep, or texting, and only realized that the road turned left when their right-tires hit the gravel and woke them up.
They crank the wheel to the left, cross the highway, climb the bank, and roll, sometimes into the pasture. Sometimes into the ditch.
So it goes…

It’s cute, if’n you’re half in the bag…
Some firefighters really hit it hard. I did see a ladder truck hit lights and sirens, go through an intersection then stop and pick up their take out order from a restaurant……
Pepe,
We’re kinda a really big county, with a sparse fire and deputy force. No shortage of excitement. Most of the places out here are minimum 5 acres, to 100 acres. Not like where you live, but NOT the city…
Holy shit. I just stumbled across video of my Dad flying Nguyễn Cao Kỳ out to the USS Enterprise in 1967.
Xbrad,
That’s very cool.
It is, Chrispy. I’m having a very nostalgic moment here.
Firetrucks park in the red zone and shop at Sam’s and eat in our cafe. Blocking the entrance to the cart bay. We’ve seen them get water cups and they aren’t smart enough to drink Sprite. Fire station and police substation are less than a 1/4 mile from the Club. It takes them forever to respond. Cops are slower than EMTs or Firetrucks.
Cool, XB.
Dan and I are both off tomorrow. Supposed to be a day “Just for us”. Any bets on what time we’ll be at MiLs? I’ve got 11AM
3:30 AM. SiL will call you and ask you to check on something.
*Fills in square for CoAl
don’t hang out with guys you don’t trust or who stare at your tits too much,
Unm, yeah I think I’m going to need a ruling here. 5 count too much?
I’ve been watching clips of Loki as Sr since he was cast. I’m watching.
I had upperclass tits. Peers were oblivious. I had the attention of 8th graders in the 5th grade.
