Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. A little bit of escapism is needed for today, I think.
Let’s see some hunks.
Mike Rowe. One man trying to change things for the better, and I have a lot of respect for that.
Alexander Skarsgård
Hugh Jackman
I need a boat drink.
Wish I could have found a larger version of this pic.
And a star from Bollywood whose name I didn’t save, sorry.
That oughta do it. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Excellent!!!
Thank ye kindly, Mare.
Prepper blogs are…interesting this morning. Too much to read before worky worky.
Insomnia sucks.
Some new report demonizing Tony Blair for getting the UK into the Iraq War is out today. The npr commentators were breathless in their descriptions of its contents. I think they’re still smarting from their Brexit loss and needed some cheer. Nothing is a coincidence with these flockers.
Same as Comey tearing up the constitution yesterday. “Obama the first president to campaign with a candidate under investigation by the FBI” read a satirical article yesterday morning. Huh, whattya know! Comey does his thing and BINGO! Hillary exonerated! Time to move on to her inevitable victory.
They are fomenting revolution.
Insomnia sucks.

Agree.
Mr. Skarsgard appears to have just sharted.
Ha! True, PD.
PD, how is the exercise, hip, slash weight loss going?
Hip is about 98% recovered. I’m very glad to bee off of the Celebrex. Weight is holding steady. I need to lose another fiddy but haven’t ramped up my mental toughness yet to get there. I have too many friends who like to drink beer in the summer. At least that’s the excuse I’m going with today.
I am trying to nap on a blanket in a park and failing. I will explain why later, but feel free to conjecture.
Hint: you’re wrong.
You’re drunk and you lost your keys?
I’ve become a fangirl for that Alexander fellow.
I may wallow in True Blood all day. PISSED about work issue. I may have to quit.
Wakey wakey
Your wife kicked you out and you’re living in a park now?
Blanket in the park versus Van by the river.
Discuss.
Don’t quit, get even.
Lovely dinner party last night with four friends. First time since the kitchen was finished and new wood floors in dining room and living room. We ate inside because it was too hot and muggy on the deck.
Sorta made it all worth it.
What did I miss, re: work issue?
Made ribs this weekend. Man, they were good. gonna have to do brisket again, soon.
Did 15# brisket and four slabs of ribs on Sat. for twenty people. Did an 8# pork butt on Mon. I have five bags of pulled pork in the freezer.
I love my new smoker.
The small horse with the huge dong has led you to contemplate the injustice of the world?
I did a 4# picnic ham. It made hella good tacos.
My brother’s FIL just got an electric smoker, too. He seems to like it.
Ham on the smoker?
MJ’s new smoker.
Manager instituted (effective immediately) a set schedule policy where we must find someone to cover our shifts. You know, for vacation/ doc appointments. Whatever.
2 and a half weeks before my fist vacation in 4 years.
But I’m sure I can find someone to cover my 40 hours/ fake doubles.
No problem.
MJ’s new smoker.
Why do you have a picture of the Trump campaign?
Pat wants me to hand in my notice today. It’s either that or cancel our vacation.
It’s a shoulder cut. I don’t know why the names are all goofy like Elizabeth Warren after drinking too much 1985 Domaine Rothschild, also known as fire-cabernet.
Did they already know you had a vacation planned?
My new smoker:
https://is.gd/cImIxm
Speaking of Elizabeth Warren.
CoAl- Yes. We have a “request booK” which has been our method for requesting time off.
Apparently that is out the window and it’s cover-your-own ass time.
For a job with zero benefits. Fuck that shit.
Yeah, fuck them. They knew you had requested the time off and are trying to screw you. Quit.
All because our manager scheduled someone after PROMISING she could have it off and the girl had the audacity to get pissed about it.
(she was supposed to have it off, and offered to work the morning as a favor – she got scheduled for a double with ONE day’s notice). It was complete and utter bullshit.
The girl DID work, and the manager had the entire weekend off anyway – so didn’t have to deal with the holiday/ weekend/short staff issue anyway.
Tell them Hotspur said they can shove the new policy up Hillary’s ass. It should fit nicely right next to Comey.
LOL- I love Hotspur’s suggestion.
Quitting in a restaurant during the week of the Fourth will be epic. It will def leave a mark.
I doubt I’m going to be the only one putting in my notice. I’m one of the workhorses – I work a LOT of hours, am dependable, don’t ask off much time. This is complete and utter bullshit. If she wants a staff of unreliable 20-somethings, this is the way to do it.
If you really want to screw them, just work until you leave.
It will certainly make a statement. I’m for it! Sounds like you’ll get another job right quick, or they will change the policy.
Picnic shoulder sounds good, mmm.
Also, fuck the notice. They changed, you shouldn’t have to give them warning.
What MJ said. Enjoy your vacay.
I wouldn’t burn any bridges when you quit. Give them your two-weeks notice and explain why you’re quitting, but you never know when pissing off your former employer could come back to bite you in the ass.
PD, you’re not dead yet. Keep going, brother!
She’s really forcing my hand. There is about zero chance I can get those shifts covered – even though she already approved it all weeks and weeks ago.
So – I quit or I cancel my vacation. Pat wants me to give my two weeks tonight.
My new smoker:

The bullshit going on there is so ripe, deep and stench filled I just threw up in my mouth…a lot.
I would submit my resignation effective when vacation starts and due to this “policy” change. This will require them to hire and train or they could change the policy and do their job. Either way you will have behaved in a professional manner.
Its one thing to have a employee find coverage for a single shift, its entirely another to expect them to do it for a extended period of time.
I got the pork butt up to 203º. It took about 10 hours with the smoker at 250º. Used two serving forks to pull it. At 203º it’s too hot to do it by hand. An 8# butt turned into about 5# of pulled pork.
Carin, you’re going on vacation. Anything else is crazy.
Carin, if you cancel your vacation Ima come over there and tune you up.
Aww, isn’t this cute? Congressional Republicans pretending they have balls!
http://www.ijreview.com/2016/07/643949-if-hillary-thought-she-was-home-free-after-fbi-decision-paul-ryan-just-dropped-a-bombshell-on-her/
Nothing will happen. Nothing.
I like Paul Ryan but I kind of wish he would go away. And he’s so typical…’I’ll never accept the position of SoH.’
5 mins later…
‘I’ve consulted with my ego and it looks like I’m the only person that can do the job. Please make no mistake–this is sheer coincidence–I’ll also begin blow job lessons tomorrow. We’re brought in a professional–a Miss Lewinsky–to properly train me, at tax payer expense, of course.’
I’m outside of a Cheesecake Factory now. I’m getting food there but I’m not eating it.
Correction, I am eating a piece of gluten-free cheesecake.
Gluten-free cheesecake is slang for mini horse dong.
Got it.
Ugh, Obama has a homebrew recipe? He’s trying to ruin my new hobby.
Anybody else’s twitchnutz down? I’ve been so critical of TelePrompTer Jesus and the presumptive new queen that I’m afraid they have suspended me or something. It’s been off since yesterday afternoon.
I was just there.
On the Twitterverse.
Hillary is so cool and hip.
All the kids are shopping at Talbots and wearing eye squinting tents these days.
I like Talbot’s, you fucking asshole.
*squints at Laura’s tent*
Squint is another of those funny words….say it like three four times……
I don’t give a squint!
Fuck off you stinky squint!
Hillary is a squint!
What you squinting at boy? We don’t take kindly to squinters round heah.
Is a peek really just a quick squint?
“I like Paul Ryan…”
——
Really? WTF? He’s a snake and a typical political whore.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Forgive me, lunch time included a dose of medication…
Don’t Bogart that squint, my friend.
I just saw my little 17 year old next door neighbor driving her $80k Mercedes Benz suv down the srreet with her long blond hair stacked up on her head and her fancy sun glasses. It occurred to me that slutpuppy is one of the better compound words ever invented.
Bet she has those sweat pants with “Juicy” across the butt.
Chelsea Manning attempted suicide. Huh. Here we’ve been led to believe how normal he/she/it is.
I think Juicy is so “Three years ago”. Not sure. But nevertheless it doesnt apply to her bony ass.
Hesheit didn’t get the job done right the first time? Fuckin democrat.
You can buy a ‘Juicy’ tent at Talbot’s.
Horrible thing…. every time I see the word “juicy” lately in my head I hear the word in the Candy Crush voice….JEWCEEE….
*likes
Roamy,
That Indian guy is named Siddharth Malhotra.
This info is courtesy of Mrs Tushar.
She does keep tab on handsome young dudes like you ladies.
Worky worky. For now.
Left work early today. Mrs. Pupster is still feeling puny and I was all caught up.
More fake doubles for somebody else I guess.
Just do it, Car in. Turn in your paper, and go work out.
Seriously, what self respecting mother would let her kid wear a pair of sweats with Juicy on the butt?
“Yes, I’d like you to meet my daughter, Malia. She’s an intern for the TV show, “GIRLS.” Her first day was the episode in which character (whatever) was getting her salad tossed by one of the male characters. Cannot tell you how proud we are.”
Siddharth Malhotra.
I even like his name.
The juicy thing is pretty accurate.
You can bet the chick is easy and I rarely see large women in these things.
Yoga pants? You get all types, but the bounds of molecular bonding are regularly tested.
I CAN SEE YOUR WHITE ASS MRS OBAMA.
Wait, wut?
Seriously, what self respecting mother would let her kid wear a pair of sweats with Juicy on the butt?
A basic bitch, of course.

Rhode Island bitches.
Rhode Island bitches.
Give you lots of stitches?
Leave you lying in ditches?
Have a weird rash that itches!
Fucking Rhode Island. Goomba Central.
Doesn’t RI have like the highest percentage per capita of mobsters? I think that’s one of their claims to fame. Worked a teamster strike there in 94, couldn’t rely on local cops, only the Staties. Only place where we ever got overrun (for about 30 seconds). I lost 3 cars to vandalism (with me in them) in 1 week……good times….not. Place was a shit hole then. I’m sure it’s muuuuuuuch better now.
My older brothers rebound shackup after his first failed marriage was from Rhode Island. She was fookin Portuguese but she had a German last name from her first failed marriage. Evidently she really liked to drink heavily and fuck alot. That’s about all my brother cared about back in those days.
I got nuthin’ else to add…..just trying to help the conversation along.
Turn in your notice. Take the vacay. Let them sweat the rest.
Did she also garden?
Better watch out PG, I think Lauraw is fookin Portuguese. She’ll put the fookin hurt on you.
I got nothing against the Portuguese as an ethnic subset of your basic European immigrants. Just noting that she was a fookin Portagee. Her name was Bernie but she pronounced it Buhanie……or at least that’s as close as I can get. She never called my brother by his name when she was talking to me. He was always, “yuah fookin brutha.” My brother went to detox shortly after she kicked him out of his own house, and has been dry ever since. I’d guess she’s dead by now if she didn’t quit as well.

We haven’t had a president in 7.5 years. What we have is a failed affirmative action experiment.
I said more than 20 years ago (probably stolen from someone else) that Hillary could eat a puppy on live TV while taking a bribe from a KKKlansman, and there would still be someone saying how wonderful she is.
50% plus would vote for her so they can keep getting their free shit.
If Trump really wants to get schlonged, he should pick Noot to be his running mate.
Kids are out swimming and I hear: Jim, can you grab the salt?
Yep, leeches. It was on his foot. Just to give him nightmares I suggested he check his junk when he changed out of his swim trunks.
Hotspur, or Krispy Kreme
WE used to burn them off with lit cigarettes at church camp. That may have just been an excuse to have cigarettes at church camp.
This lady used to babysit my daughters twenty years ago when she was a teenager. She was set to be the valedictorian of her class but eloped with a sailor and moved to Norfolk VA right before her senior year. She’s since divorced, moved back to TX and seems to be rebounding well in the specialty cookie business. She was on HSN hawking her line of cookie cutters and cookie decorating equipment today.
drive by OY!!!!!!!
leeches – doctoring at its best
Hirudo medicinalis
later
Hi tools and towelettes. Well, I was sort of kind of getting past wanting to commit seppuku when I turned on the TV and found that, HILLARY!! BECAUSE VAGINA!! decided to buy ALL of the commercial time for the next 3 hours.
And if anyone in my presence says, “Hillary was a great SoS,” I gar-un-damn-tee–u I will lose what’s left of my mind.
That’s some evul daddy shit right there jimbro.
Well done suh.
There’s a Sugarbelle food truck here, but they sell overpriced cupcakes.

That was brilliant and my greatest wish and this…
We haven’t had a president in 7.5 years. What we have is a failed affirmative action experiment. —–Hotspur
…is absolutely the bottom line on this whole bullshit deal.
Hillary was a great SoS
where SoS is shit on a shingle. Which is being really mean to chipped beef.
SoS – stupid old slut
>> Just to give him nightmares I suggested he check his junk when he changed out of his swim trunks.
Hell – that just gave ME nightmares.
Sauced on Scotch
SoS: Scrunt of Squint
Sasquatch of Stealing, oh wait, that’s Mooch.
SoS: Stuck on Stupid
Works in so many contexts.
Evening Hostages.
Trump says that we shouldn’t have removed Saddam, and Hillary!’s campaign attacks him for it. So apparently she agrees with the war to remove him from power? Does she think she could have handled the occupation better, or does she think that we should have put another brutal dictator in Saddam’s place?
I channeled my inner Scottw tonight when I investigated my AC that was running warm. It turns out it had a dust filter and there was the equivalent of a dog in it. I cleaned it best I could and will test it tonight. I can’t imagine it won’t help.
Those ar replaceable I think. Mine are.
They may be replaceable but for now I rinsed it out. I’ll take a picture of the model # at some point and look it up for maintenance. Hopefully my ghetto rinse cleared the screen enough.
Must be AC day. I got home about 530 and thought “Sure feels kinda warm in here.” Yup, warmer than we keep it. “Ah shit.” Head out to the garage. Yup, clogged drain line caused water to back up and shut down the unit.
Yay.
you can wash furnace filters? huh
You know how you hate going to the mailbox and picking up those envelopes with windows?
How you know that every one is a bill?
Not today, mofos!
Today is dividend-check day!
Today is the day that I get payback for rat-holing 7-10% of every dime I made since 8-Jan-’69.
Not that today is that special, it’s just a sign.
Yeah, we were really poor in those days, but we both grew-up poor, so we were used to ramen, mac&cheese, and a slice of bologna on white bread without cheese.
Here we are at near the end of our lives, preparing our wills(Thanks, BiW!), and we have to face the fact that we are not poor!
We never checked on it before, never paid attention, lived the same way we always did, as if we were poor.
We never totaled all the CDs, Funds, Annuities, Stocks(Microsoft Amgen), and Bonds.
We got together with BiW to get all this shit settled and found out that we are not poor!
I’ve never felt this way before. I’m 67 years old and have been poor all my life.
I don’t know how to deal with this.
I drive a ’94 Lesbaru. I could be driving a new F-150, or a Porsche(once upon a time, I drove a ’69 Targa 911, two Lotus, and a BMW when I worked in tall buildings, wrote code, and made money).
I find this very strange, yet I have no inclination to change my life.
No inclination to buy a new car, a new house, buy a “fifth-wheel”, and explore the country, nothing.
I’m just pondering this as I drink myself to sleep and realize that tomorrow will be just the same as today, yesterday, and the day before as I don’t know how to do anything different.
My baby sister will be baffled as to what to do with what we leave her…
nytol
Manager apparently said “just kidding” to one of the other servers. She’s trying to make the jerks sweat.
@@.
Seriously. She need to make a request off policy and stick to it so she doesn’t end up with the problems she does.
I won’t work there if they switch to some bs set schedules where I have to cover my shifts. No way no how.
*cocktails and debriefs
Sorry about the length.
tl;dnr
Chris – you should do something special.
Car in,
Call her on it.
Put-up or shut-up…
Pat and I talk about getting a pusher one day. There are lots of sights I wouldn’t mind seeing. Plus, I could spend a bunch of time just touring visiting fake internet friends.
Drive by. Had to fly today. Connecting flight was delayed due to mechanical problems, they brought in a new plane, everybody boarded……..mechanical problems. 2 1/2 hours late.
Penelope sat next to a guy who was HHD-worthy. Dressed nice and built like Captain America. Sorry, no pics. Cyn would have mauled him.
ChrisP. Get yourself an eight slice toaster. That’s what all the rich motherfucks are doing these days.
ChrisP, my in-laws were so frugal, Mr. RFH and I were making plans to step in if there was a financial emergency. I brought my own toilet paper when we visited because MIL bought cheap, cheap stuff. They were loaded and just living off Social Security. I wish they had enjoyed themselves a little more.
There is fashion, there is fad
Some is derp, some is bad
And the joke rather sad,
That it’s all just a little bit of History repeating.
