Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Let’s get moving.
A band I’ve never heard of so why not.
Let’s see who’s in the hunkeh folder for today.
Kit Harington from Game of Thrones.
Also from Game of Thrones, Richard Madden.
Raoul Bova.
Bruno.
Kim Rossi Stuart with a nice smile.
Last but not least, Luca Calvani.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

((((hugs)))) to Roamy. Well done, smart lady.
Up early. Cats are convinced that it’s breakfast time just because I’m up.
ugh, up too. can’t sleep. I blame pg.
I went to bed at 9 but I have multiple wakings through the night, so I’m never sure how much I’ve really slept.
Nice, Romacita!
so, go in early, or just hang out?

I have to get 20 hours in between now and Friday at midnight, but it looks like I’m taking Friday off to be Dad. I picked ‘in early’.
I am almost certainly going to have to build the FT in the evenings if I want to use it before the rainy season ends.
Lunches made for Mini-me and Mr. RFH, and this http://www.laurengreutman.com/crockpot-ropa-vieja/ is in the crockpot for the trebuchet team tonight. I am probably a little crazy for trying out a new recipe on company, but it sounds good.
Today begins with double meetings then finishes with office the rest of the day. The cherry on the top is picking the older boy up at work when he gets out at 9PM.
That looks tasty Roamy.
Old clothes!
Worky worky. Y’all have a good day.
Ghey.
wakey wakey.
So busy.
Fake double again?
No. just everything. Yesterday’s trip to Ann Arbor turned into an all day event – I left early because last time it took me forever, and ended up there TWO hours early. @@. Afterwards, on the way home, the freeway was closed practically RIGHT in front of me by some accident. I didn’t get home until really late. So now I’m behind with just regular shit I need to do. I just work a regular shift tonight, but I’ve got a lot to do.
Ian flew to Denver this am to retrieve my BIL who is moving in with us. Ian, who has a hernia, and shouldn’t be lifting things – is going to help him load the truck.
i was worried it would be troublesome in Ann Arbor because of the Tim Kaine thing. I actually could hardly see anything. I saw one woman carrying a sign. Other than that? Nothing. There were these two trucks driving around with crazy trump signs on it.
But if Ann Arbor can’t work up excitement …
you should have made Hotspur entertain you for 2 hours.
I guess Kaine gins up about as much excitement as Hillary.
Carin, what’s going on with your BIL?
I have seen exactly one Hillary/Kaine yard sign. I have also seen a bumper sticker, but it’s on the back of the truck owned by the dipshit with the yard sign. There are 5 Trump signs between my house and my church.
In 2012 those numbers were reversed.
He’s gotten himself into a bind. Since he retired from the military a bit ago, he hasn’t really been able to find anything permanent. He’s tapped out. He’s going to move in with us for a bit and we’ll put him to work . Get him back on his feet.
Ian had to fly out and drive the truck back (I do NOT know where we’re going to put stuff???) because BIL lost his DL a few years back (didn’t pay a ticket before he was deployed – forgot – and when he returned it had been suspended He paid the fine but told them to shove it over a new registration fee or something. )
I guess that new registration fee was less than Ian’s plane ticket.
He hadn’t gotten it until now, so he’d have to get a new CO driver’s license (take the test again …) and then do it all over here in Michigan. He has no money. none. No credit. Nothing. I suspect the DL is a bit more involved that he was telling me too. Plus the truck rental.
The ticket was only $99. Who knew they had such cheap flights.
Nice!
Well, I’ll pray he can be happy and productive.
Does anyone have a good/ not super expensive food processor? I see such a vast range of prices. The cheap ones aren’t too pricey, but I just wonder if they are worth it?
Mine was a gift, but it’s pretty good. I’ll look it up and see if it’s pricy.
How are things in the Deplorable Basket this morning?
What the fuck does basket of deplorables even mean? Why didn’t the media challenge her on the nonsense of the phrase, let alone her attack on 1/4 of voters?
https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DLC-10SY-Classic-7-Cup-Processor/dp/B01AXM4SB6/ref=sr_1_1?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1473859654&sr=1-1&keywords=cuisinart+pro+classic $100, not sure if that qualifies as pricy or not. It’s handled everything I’ve tried to do with it and it’s good and heavy.
Thought the rule was flesh below the fold? Aw heck, I can’t really grudge it to those so inclined, I’m in too good a mood this morning.
What the fuck does basket of deplorables even mean?
It means they haven’t worked themselves up to boxcars yet. But they are working on it.
We’ve been told for 8 years that the only reason you could dislike 0bama was racism, and racists are deplorable, so there you go.
BTW, I’ve finally gotten onto GAB. @brothercavil natch.
It means they haven’t worked themselves up to boxcars yet.
Good point. I’m going to repeat that to some lib assholes.
Where do you get GAB?
The great irony is that – were I asked – I wouldn’t put more than 2% of Hillary’s supporters in the “deplorable” column. Most of them are honest, decent people who are just utterly wrong-headed on a lot of issues, like a dietician who’s bought the lies he’s been taught and can’t see past it, or a vegan ‘cured’ by the diet, or someone who likes the metric system.
I’ll stick by Brother Cavil’s boxcar remark. It’s the next logical progression for the “Anti First and Second Amendment Party”.
AFSAP
I wasn’t suggesting something else to say, just terrified at the dichotomy. They’d put us in ovens if they could, I just want them off my lawn.
heh, like Reagan says, Democrats aren’t bad people, they just believe things that aren’t so!
GAB is at gab.ai. It’s a waiting list right now and still in beta. Took about two weeks for me to get in, but several of the Horde have infiltrated already.
It shows promise, and it’s not that fascist hellhole Twitter.
I’m 53,525 on the waiting list.
hah, I’m on the list too. Just wondered if there was a shortcut.
Guess I don’t know people. Stupid wiserbud.
I got in line for gab weeks ago. It told me that I was in line. I don’t have a username yet and haven’t gotten any sign up notifications. How are other people getting in already?
mare is probably already on gab, ignoring us.
They have an unwritten policy that favors the humpless.
Maybe they sent me an email and it got lost in the shuffle or filtered. Damn.
Probably, pendejo. They wouldn’t be the first ones. Quite common, actually.
When people use the term “beta” in the proper context of software development it makes them sound smart.
beta beta beta
Hmm, not working for me…
You’re not supposed to sound like that f’n Twiki from ’70s Buck Rogers when you say it.
Xbrad knows beta. Beta el meta.
*musters up best Barry White baritone*
BETTTTTTAAAAAAAAAHHHHH………..
*ducks from panties being tossed*
It took about 3 weeks to get my invite to Gab after getting in line.
It only took about 3 minutes to get my invite from your mom after getting in line.
It only took about 3 minutes to get my invite from your mom after getting in line.
So you were behind Xbrad?
Yeah, but then I jumped ahead of him when he stopped to get his teeth out of his pocket.

Why do I want to be on GAB?
The war between vacuum cleaners and kittehs has ended. The kittehs won.
I don’t need a robo vacuum cleaner. I need a robo pickerupper of socks and underwear and shit so that they don’t get stuck in the vacuum cleaner.
Pendejo’s filthy needs killed it.
That has been a pattern throughout my life.
So dead, lately.
I can’t just be entertaining you people all the time.
I’ve been busy.
Heh. Colin Powell’s emails. LOLOLOL Bill Clinton “dicking bimbos”
Well, MI is phoning it in.
I think I’ll go dick a few bimbos.
I’ve dicked a skank but never a bimbo. Is it better?
bimbo |ˈbimbō| (also bimbette |bimˈbet| )
noun (plural bimbos) informal
an attractive but empty-headed young woman, especially one perceived as a willing sex object.
skank |skaNGk|
noun
1 North American informal a sleazy or unpleasant person.
• derogatory a promiscuous woman: the office skank.
Bimbo waaaaay better than skank
We need to designate an H2 skank, and an H2 bimbo.
You go first Leon.
Ugh, did a quick GIS. “skank” is better. “bimbo” means fake blonde and fake tittehs.
Clinton stopped advertising in CO on 8/4 because she was up12-15 pts in the polls. It was in the bag.
Trump is leading in CO now.
HA HA HA
One of the benefits if Trump wins is that it will put to lie the idea that you have to kick off your campaign in March or April or whenever before Labor Day. Maybe we can get our summers back.
Ugh. Work.
That plus the indescribable butthurt to George Will would make me giddy with joy.
All the lefty heads that explode will just be a nice bonus.
Show the media how little influence they have.
They have completely covered up Hillary’s seizure yet 80% of the population seems to be up to speed.
If I were Trump, I’d insist on standing at the debate. Even if she sits, it will look bad. Not as bad as her not being able to stand for an hour, but still……
Cubs magic number is 1. At least they aren’t celebrating at Busch.
Hillary will be releasing her medical records.
Dr. Scott, what will we find? You were almost dead on with the last prognosis.
Ask Dr. Scott. Sounds like a good poat title…
Oh yeah, from the comments:
From the Desk of Doctor Nick Riviera
I think the Dr that Tushar linked is spot on. Parkinson’s.
That isn’t what the released records will show, though.
If Hillary releases medical records, they won’t be hers.
So, Hillary’s IT guy who set up the illegal e-mail system has immunity. He gets a subpeona from Congress and just ignores it. Why the hell don’t they send someone to drag his ass there in handcuffs? If he still won’t talk, straight to jail until he changes his mind. Nobody has any balls anymore.
Eggs are $150 a dozen and inflation this year is predicted to be around 720%.
* moves to Colombia *
* buys chickens *
Of course, chickens are $27,000.
Scott, I’m guessing we’re talking Venezuela here?
Don’t know why I left out the more tag, fixt. Sorry about that, Brother Cavil.
https://i.imgur.com/XDbsQVL.gifv
Venezuela, yes.
I should start selling toilet paper on eBay.
I can’t really stand Trump, but it’s fun watching him schlong the boulder in a pantsuit.
If she loses this, she and her philandering hub are going to die very bitter people.
So how much does it cost to ship to Venezuela, and would the TP ever leave the airport?
Customs would probably steal it.
Tweet from a Dr “So Hillary’s doctor —who says #HillarysHealth is “excellent”— just claimed Hillary had an imaging study that doesn’t exist.”
It’s the body double’s imaging study
“A “CTA” is a CT (or cat scan) angiogram. It always requires contrast. Always. It cannot be included in a “non-contrast CT scan.”
Is it really expected that the would be liar / seizure / pickle jar opener in chief would not find a doctor to lie and open pickle jars for her?
HotBride asked me to open a pickle jar on Sunday because she couldn’t do it. I had a rough time with it.
No way an old hag who can’t climb stairs unassisted opened a pickle jar.
**checks out Hotspur on the stairs**
Damn……
Didn’t read the article, but drudge had a headline that 118,000,000 have government health insurance. WTF, and bullshit.
Mare, that’s a lot of people on Medicare and Medicaid.
I thought Hillary’s doc was there at the 9/11 memorial?
I overheard the nightly news going on about Pickles’ medical records and they included a normal CT scan of her head. CT of the head is good when you need a quick study…like after a fall. If you want a real brain study it’s MRI. Normal CT…no subdural hematoma or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
They had to include a knock on Trump so they mentioned his BMI and said he was obese. Noticeably absent? Any mention of Cankles BMI.
Oh, Roamy, I didn’t even think of that. Of course that makes sense.
Obama could have expanded Medicaid without wrecking the rest of the healthcare system and insured nearly as many people as Obamacare without the political fight. But no, Mr. Unifier had to have his way.
Saw where Bradley Manning gets his sex change operation for free. Vets with real issues get to wait another six months. Pisses me off.
After his surgery, I hope they throw him back in the men’s prison.
I am attempting to make something approximating adobo sauce with my scorpion reapers. I suspect it will be weapons-grade even after it cooks down.
*dicks bimbos
*dicks skanks, like a hipster drinking Pabst
I’ve been reading Colin Powell e-mails to Dan. Dan: Fuck that racist fuck that voted for Obama. Oso: But…but…funny.
Ahem.
* dicks. Bimbos.
Might be the greatest phrase evah.
There will be a band named Dicking Bimbos within the month.
* goes to bar and orders a Dicking Bimbo *
HA HA HA The Washington Redskins should change their name to the Dicking Bimbos.
DoTW guy, what booze goes into a Dicking Bimbo?
MJ, what would go in this drink? I’m thinking brandy, if only so it has a bimbo name in it.
Ask your mom.
Maybe you drop a half-shot of Bailey’s into a brandy and coke.
That way you have some cream in a coked-up bimbo, you see.
Leon, that drink idea was whorish and vulgar and yet also really quite artistic.
*staples gold stars to your avatar*
*snitches to your priest*
Man, you didn’t have to explain it to me. I was already writing the next comment.
RUINED.
*rips down gold stars*
*shreds you even harder to the priest*
Scorpion adobo rimmer on Dicking Bimbo
I had to lay it out for the slow kids.
The sauce is cooking down now, smells amazing.
I pepper-sprayed myself washing the cutting board.
I find myself intensely curious whether that beverage would taste any good. It actually doesn’t sound bad. Maybe swap the Bailey’s for half-n-half.
Burning your tongue on the rim?
Oso is going to hell, next to laura and leon.
You know what’s funny? What’s the bus driver’s name?
What do you do to make adobo sauce?
My eyes and nose never itch…unless I’m handling chile peppers. FACT
J’ames…IKR?
Ropa vieja was a hit. Now to figure out what I’m cooking for the crew on Friday.
It smells really, really good. I got a little drop on my finger while stirring it and thought I might taste it.
It has no flavor. Only pain.
What’s the bus driver’s name?
Chumpo?
I needed the tutorial, Leon. Since I had no idea what baileys is and Coke has always been and always will I’ll be a sweet brown bubbly beverage to me. Also cause I’m a tard.
Put mayonnaise in the sun for a couple hours.
They have been doing it this way for thousands of years.
Laura, I looked at a bunch of recipes, and the sauce itself looks to be just a seasoned reduction of tomatoes, onions, and garlic with some vinegar. Cumin, oregano, and cinnamon were the seasonings I saw most often, along with a healthy amount of salt. You’re supposed to add some smoked jalopenos and then cook it down until it’s so thick you can spoon it without drips. I added the scorpion reapers fresh because I have no smoker, but and because that would only have made them hotter.
Chumpo you’re a fine girl🎶What a good wife you will be🎶
Hah, oso. Well played!
I mouth-breathed while stirring. Coughing like Hillary now.
Whats up, Bimbo Dickers…
Lemon Lime Hefeweizen
Nice banana flavor, on a sweet lime base with lemony hops.
Mike Rowe reads an email from his mom.
I got 20 oz total. I cannot fire up a 21qt canner for that. Might just freeze it.
all you need to do is boil that to seal, leon. tomatoes and vinegar will be plenty safe. Just use a small pot, and boil like tomatoes. Plus you can use small containers.
I’m just going to pull all my last vegetables and pickle them together in an ‘end of the garden’ big ol’ picklefest.
It will be a mix of mostly zucchini, sweet and hot peppers, and some aromatics like shallots and garlic.
Lactofermentation is the BOMB. I’m still going to vinegar-pickle-can some stuff for the pantry, but it won’t be as delicious and nutritious.
Listen to Jay. Get some eentsy-beentsy-teensy canning jars and do it up right.
I had pint jars left from last year. I should have gone out to get some 4oz ones. I’ll leave it in those on the counter overnight, then get the itty-bitty ones and just water-bath them in a saucepan tomorrow.
Man, four ounces still seems too big for a jar of liquid death. Does anybody sell 2-oz canning jars?
I have never seen anything smaller than four ounces.
The dicking bimbo will be announced at 0 sometime 30 tomorrow.
Please dick your calendars.
4oz should be fine. That ought to be enough to spice 6 quarts of chili. Or more.
I’m going with ‘more’
You’re likely right. I used one in a full crock pot and it was almost too hot to eat. This 20oz of sauce has… 16 peppers in it?
Ouch, that has to be really hot! Wonder if you’ll even be able to can it without a respirator!
Googled it. There’s an outfit called CPS that sells teensy 1.25 oz canning jars and lids. Prices are good and you don’t have to buy a thousand of them.
It’s in jars now, but the air in the house is a little itchy.
Meijer’s open 24 hours a day. Fudge it, I’m going out for little jars.
Mike Rowe has clearly inherited his sense of humor from his mother
I could be wrong but recipes, when multiplied to world record proportions, don’t turn out great.
Tomorrow, people are coming to wash and stretch the carpets.
We had to move a lot of shit.
A lot of shit.
When we built this place in 2004, we were much younger and stronger.
Moving all of this “stuff” off the carpeted areas reminds us that we are no longer “Young & Strong”, as in;
“How the fuck did we get this shit in here?”
We really need to get rid of stuff, downsize, move to a smaller plot of land.
Getting old really sucks…
ChrisP, stahp talking to Dan. I needz ALL MY STUFF!
Just how serious do UPS or FEDEX take shipping bottles of beer? For trading with someone?
When I had my store, that kind of shipment basically endangered my business. Because UPS or FEDEX would cut me off if they caught me shipping alcohol illegally. And I could face hideous fines. Yeah, there’s stupid laws about it. Reciprocal states can do it. Connecticut was not a reciprocal state with anybody else.
I did not take kindly to customers who endangered my business. Or lied to me and said it was ‘a bottle of olive oil.’
If your state is a reciprocal state, you might be able to do it but you might have to do it directly from the UPS terminal and show an ID. The recipient would also have to be present to sign for it and show an ID to the delivery.
These retarded laws go back to prohibition days.
How do these guys enter competitions? They send bottles via UPS or FEDEX. Hmmm.
As most of you know, I refuse to Espanol. Narcos is killing me. I can either watch and read subtitles, or multitask and translate. Very visual show. g’night Pablo! (Netflix this! Serial)
They must be licensed, or trading between reciprocal states.
Disclaimer: my retail store closed a few years ago. Rules may have changed since then. Find out for sure by calling the carrier.
Minnesota specifically list shipping beer not for resale, but Iowa only outlines wine.
Hmmm
These aren’t licensed brewers. It’s people sending in homebrew to a competition. Iowa State Fair lists shipping instructions on their site.

/ships bottle of “olive oil” to Lauraw just to watch her head assplode

Scott was kind of right about Colombian chickens. Except the rayciss Colombians closed the border with starving Venezolanos a few months ago.
Hijo de puta does not mean “Son of a bitch”. Netflix. President Duterte. Any one else needing Spansplaining?
6 little jars, simmering on the stove.
What’s it mean, then? Because that looks like “son of whore/bitch” to me.
6 little jars, simmering on the stove.
*Calls the Pentagon*
Son of a whore. Not bitch.
Whore does not mean bitch. Means whore. Cabron does not mean “Old Goat” but translates to “Pedophile”.
Buenas noches, pendejos!
Since Oso does not espanol, I will translate:
“Free ice cream, yay!”
Hijo de perra.
Oso, what’s the difference between joto and maricon?
*Calls the Pentagon*
Tell Roy hi for me.
Son of a whore. Not bitch.
Hijo de perra.
That was my first thought, but wasn’t sure if it carried the meaning as a direct translation.
And I’d prefer that your espanolation not use Hotspur as an example.
PG, not much difference. Add jodido. All mean “Faggot”
It’s my understanding that hijo de puta is the much more common insult. It’s also my understanding that you do t throw it around casually like we do sob in English. It pretty much guarantees a fight.
Joto is short for Jodido. Mijo is short for mi hijito. Most messicans don’t get it.
PG EXACTLY! Son of a whore carries way more Latin Oh no you didn’t than SOB. See also Maricon or Jodido versus Mojado
I didn’t know that about mijo and mija. My daughter was best friends with a Mexican girl all through high school. One time she asked the girl, “how come your grandmother can’t remember my name?” Her friend said, “Whut? She knows your name.” My daughter says, “she thinks my name is mija”. Hilarity ensued.
PG mi hijita or mi hijito get slurred to mija or mijo.
Guero or guera. Means “Blondie” or light skinned. Not really “Blonde”. Guero le pinche, mata le chinche”
Fucking blondie, kill the blondie
There’s more to the verse, but I never like it!
Here’s my favorite Spanish poem. I really don’t know how to spell some of the words though.
Chupa mi chota like an ice cream soda.
Jajaja Bite me!
We should run all our comments on a poat one day through bing translate and poat in broken Spanish just to annoy Oso.
I take one one one cause you left me and
