Good morning, and welcome to the insomnia edition of Hunky Hump Day. Better this than no poat at all. Let’s get to it.
This showed up on a list on one-hit wonders, and I liked it.
I finally saw “Sully”, and I give it 4.732 out of 5 bald heads. Aaron Eckhart co-stars with Tom Hanks.
The combo of badboy tattoos and nerd glasses made me smile.
He reminds me of someone, can’t place it.
Hopefully not a repeat.
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Mr. RFH has worked his ass off this week to get the trebuchet arm rebuilt. The team is coming over tonight, gotta figure out what I’m making for dinner.
I’m fasting today, so dinner prep for me will be easy. I’m using the time saved to throw flame at weeds around lunchtime.
Aren’t you genetically programmed to make sammiches?
MJ, it seems to be that they don’t all get that gene.
Do you have the gene, Leon? You can tell me. No one else will know.
Excellent essay link from AoS

I don’t make sammiches, but I’m a better cook than my mother. I tried to cook at her house a couple of years ago. She didn’t own a proper cutting board or a single non-serrated knife.
How do people live like that?
wakey wakey

Yea, well I have to make dinner whether I’m eating it or not.
Morning.
I cooked dinner for the others last night, lots left over so I should be able to skip cooking today.
LEFTOVERS?
Wow.
I guess the honeymoon is over.
MJ – take note.
Eh, I’m gonna go for a run. I’ve been working out for fun for a bit now, and it’s well, fun.
So nice to leave behind the pacing, distance, etc.
And I got a new bike! Helluva deal-50% off.
When I was lifting and working at an office, 90% of my meals were leftovers.
I wonder what Trump had for breakfast today.
I find it impossible to cook for 2, so leftovers are a given. I learned in a restaurant, and with my mom and aunt, cooking for a lot of people.
Trump had babies for breakfast, like every day.
But what kind of babies, Jay?
Generally speaking Wednesday calls for a baby, 12-18 months old, medium to medium well. Middle Eastern if possible, but any type of brown will do.
I’m joshing. We do leftovers here all teh time. Especially since I work 5 nights a week.
Eating window is from 8:46 until 4-ish today.

any type of brown will do.
============
If they’re brown when you start, how do you tell when they’re done?
That’s what thermometers are for, silly.
Of course you can use the old pinch test for doneness. Since they are babies, they don’t get very stringy, like old people.

When the screaming stops
+5 for rare
+10 for med rare
+15 for med
+20 for med well
Never eat baby well done.
The PBC, with it’s low and slow cooking, can handle large cuts of stringy meat. Just sayin.
Listen to MJ, he’s pre-chef.
Looking forward to Leon’s post apocalyptic gardening and cooking videos.
/steps quietly away from the crazy people
/remembers he’s one of the crazy people
Er…mornin’ folks!
DAMMIT NO!!!!! IT’S RAINING ALREADY!!!!
FUCK YOU WEATHERMAN LIAR ASSHOLE!!!!!
Flamethrower Jesus is sending you a sign, Leon.
Pups, where ya been?
It’s mostly that September is a very rainy month here most of the time. Just getting really sick of it being pushed back. If I have to go out there and prep the site AGAIN because the bedamned things spread out again, I will be very angry.
It’s going to rain every day from now until Monday. Fuck. I should have just done it last night after the wind died down.
Hi mare. I’ll email you a link to the house we’re looking at.
And when this one is photographed for the listing, I’ll send you that as well.
RIGHT ON TIME!
Internet is boned in my office. So I’m on my phone.
Hillary is a cunt.
You are moving again?
Yes, it appears so.
Looking forward to it, MJ.
My last move was in 1987.
I had a stereo and a couple of garbage bags filled with clothes.
Wait. MJ is moving in with Mare?
My last move was August of last year. My war room with all of my books, models, and gewgaws is still not unpacked.
Where to?
Circumstances change. Children influence those decisions sometimes. Jobs, climate, family needs kick into the decision to move.
Moving is horrible (in my opinion). But if you want your stuff with you, you have to pack it and get it where it needs to be.
I love our place and lifestyle (outdoor, biking, kayaking, etc.), but lots of people here are liberal douches and if the apocalypse happens this area is NOT a good choice for survival. IYKWIMAITTYD.
STOP BUYING CRAPPY HOUSES.
I miss Hawaii. If we had the money our dream would be to live in Hawaii six months and here six months with a few ski trips thrown in.
I can dream, can’t I?
Back to Midwest.
It’s for work. They’re relocating me.
Scott, we’ve done well selling our homes. Just good luck. Not sure about this place. Could be too much of a glut of our type of home to be competitive. My husband does not want to move again but would love the Hawaii/Florida deal. Although, I don’t know what we’d do with Bofus, our cat.
Holy crap, MJ. When did you find out? What does your wife think? Can you say where in the Midwest?
Ferguson, MO
Raining
I intend to live in my house until I die. It’s a peaceful feeling, But I’ve felt that way about my last two houses as well.
Mare is right. Circumstances change.
And I’m owning the shit out of these comments.
And your mom.
Indiana, about an 1:45 from Lexington, KY.
She’s great with it. She’s not really happy with Charlotte because of the high crime and cost of living.
And the riots.
I mean protests.
Sorry.
Hope that didn’t trigger anyone.
TRIGGERED
https://is.gd/SvjXjT
Interesting, Charlotte sounds (theoretically) like a nice place to live, but we both know, you get to a place and if you don’t feel safe and comfortable it’s a NOPE!
I liked IN when I lived there. Might move there myself next year if the real estate we find is on the southern side of the border. My folks live right on the state line.
Last night my husband and I went kayaking and it was really beautiful. Stayed out until just after sunset. Gorgeous flat, calm water, pink sky, birds everywhere. Paddled part of the time down a waterway with cool houses on both sides and friendly people waving and saying, “hi.” Just calm, quiet paddling. That’s when I really love it here.
Going to my close grocery store or Walmart, not so much. People can be gross. No pride. Kind of disgusting. Lots of welfare recipients around here.
Lots of money here too. The ingrainging of poor culture is pretty deep. Poor is a state of mind not how much money you have.
Southern Indiana is much better than northern Indiana. But there’s also rampant meth and oxy abuse down there.
Northern Indiana would have been closer to the Michigan Cabal.
I’ve been warned about the meth. It’s located in one section of town.
MR WHITE! YO, BITCH!
I need to go buy more CO2, it would seem. I’m just going to wait for the rain to stop and then burn. Worst case, I have to do it again later. The practice will be useful anyhow.
South Indiana? My brother lives in Ft Wayne, NE Indiana. He likes it a lot.
NPR continues to prep the battle space. I just saw an article titled
“These women discovered it wasn’t just fat: It was lipedema”
Explaining away fat ankles (or “Cankles”) as a medical disorder. I’m less enthusiastic about reading NPR articles now that they’ve stopped allowing commenting. It doesn’t allow me to confirm my bias that the lefties love their shit and anyone who disagrees is shouted down. Yeah, it’s predictable, but seeing it happen every once in a while was like confirming everything was the same in the universe.
Yeah, S Indiana. I’m looking forward to it.
NPR shutting down comments was one of the most blatant confirmation of their bias ever.
You don’t get to express an opinion on the network you help pay for, loser.
I just set off 3 gopher bombs. Fuckers only give you about 5 seconds of fuse before the poison gas starts.
Rather exciting chore.
So are these bombs toxic or do they just generate a large amount of smoke?
Im asking for a friend
Water heater wasn’t heating up, after water was in the basement. I don’t think the water got high enough to get anything wet with the water heater, but I had my warranty revoked, wouldn’t help me at all to figure out what’s wrong.
I wonder how hard Hulk Hogan really hit Geraldo
Evidently it’s a ritual, Rocky stars get knocked out during filming of the movie.
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/01/rocky-4-dolph-lundgren-hospitalized-sylvester-stallone
I think the gas is poisonous. Top two ingredients are sodium nitrate and sulfur.
1st at bat, first pitch, Tebow yanks it out of the park.
I heard he did well in BP, but struggled against live pitching. Good for him!
Tebow prayed to Baseball Jesus
What a fucking putz.
Worky worky
Miss? Oh Miss! We’re ready to order now!
…debating on just getting another water heater.
Hate it, cuz I’m sure this one is good, and doesn’t need to be replaced. It’s just a control issue.
Your mom has control issues.
The bottom fell out of ours last winter.
That happened to our last one.
Not Hotspur’s mom, though.
Next time I think I am going with the plastic one that lasts forever.
Plastic and lasts forever?
Does not compute.
At camp we have an electric water heater that never seems to run out of hot water but at home we have a tank heated by the oil burner that always disappoints whoever is #4 in the shower line.
Don’t really want to spend that money, so I guess I’ll try and get it running
How deep did the water get?
only like an inch or so, nothing got wet, except the bottom.
Chelsea is reading up on Nanna with the kid
And we’ll visit her every Sunday. But don’t get caught alone in a room with Granddad.
The Missus still likes watching network news. Not sure what her fucking problem is. So Scott Pelley is saying that there is no conclusive proof that teh scrunt accepted payments to her foundation in exchange for government favors while at state. I told The Missus that when I gave her a $1000 gift card from Dillards and 5 minutes later she in turn jerked down my pants and gave me an impromptu BJ that there would be any proof in Scott Pelley’s world that the two events were related. But the rest of us who don’t work for an alphabet network can definitely smell a rat. She agreed with me in principle and upped the ante to $2500.
Bill Fingers lil Chelsea!

Tonight’s menu is pork chops smothered in onion gravy, cornbread dressing, peas, and apple cake. I make sammiches when it’s lunch, not dinner.
Work was…interesting, and not in a good way. The dumb got one of my co-workers. I was asked if I was done with a task that was a reply email to where I sent out the final report. FINAL. REPORT. English, motherfucker, do you speak it? Then people I know showed up on NASAWatch for a second time this month. That is not a good thing.
PG, if I’m home in time I’ll watch local news followed by network news. I really do it to see what bullshit stories they’re peddling. It really is another universe where everything a lib does is unquestionably right and conservatives are viewed as a foreign species. The kids are used to me swearing at the TV.
I’d consider it ground breaking if it was a bukkake shoot

I admit, I did not watch the debate, however, Dennis Prager has been going over it pretty thoroughly. Today he had 59 cuts of Trump and Hillary. Based on the cuts I heard today, Trump nailed Hillary on so many things. Talking about regulations and what they cost companies for example. I can see why he’s winning in the eyes of Americans but not the lefty press.
Hillary had memorized lines that she smoothly delivered with a smile.
Trump flew by the seat of his pants.
I thought he looked horrible.
It won’t matter.
Hillary can’t reinvent herself.
You people suck.
They do Scott
Babe, want me to send the monkeys?
**hmmmm….Laura never offers to send monkeys when I’m talking to myself**
If you travelled back in time even ten years and told yourself half the crap that’s going on today, including black cops aren’t considered black, “space to destroy”, sitting down for the national anthem, and Playboy featuring a Muslim in hijab instead of nude, you’d call yourself crazy.
Mmmmm…….Aaron Eckhart. He’s always been yummy 🙂
roamie it’s going to shit faster than I could’ve guessed. It occurred to me about 6-7 years ago that I’m likely to live in a time of civil war. Prior to that time I’d have called you crazy for mentioning something so absurd. I’m now kinda wondering if, when the history is written, the opening battle has already happened. Dallas cop ambush for example.
TiFW, I forgot when you said your knee surgery was.
Pretty sure Arab chicks have a giant bush.
Thank good Playboy is non nude.
He looked like a boob.
Will still win because Hillary.
Pendejo, I hoped America was resilient enough. Not giving up yet, but I’m pulling for an amicable divorce from the NY/CA lefties. We’ll need to get XBrad, Sean, Chumpo, Lippy, Paulitics, etc. (I’m sure I’m forgetting someone important, but my brain shut down an hour ago.) smuggled out of there.
*sits all alone wondering where Xbrad, Sean, Chumpo, Lippy, and Paulitics went*
*Watches CA erupt in flames*
The incuriosity of the media (and our political class, birm) has reached Peak Deafness.
Excellent demonstration of this: Scott pointed out an article to me today where the writer was puzzling over the various reasons that NFL viewership was way down as late. This journo came up with several ideas: up against the debates, unpopular quarterbacks, poor playing and officiating.
The vast majority of commenters to this article, bullhorn-loud and clear: HELLO THERE! WE ARE BOYCOTTING YOU. KINDLY REMOVE YOUR POLITICS FROM OUR LEISURE ENTERTAINMENT.
But I doubt that dawn will come to marblehead any time soon. The smart people probably think ‘boycott’ is some fake threat that twitter goons and blog cranks natter on about. Because they don’t know anybody at ESPN who cares about politics being injected into just everyfuckingthing.

Mia Khalifa would disagree.
On the other hand, I’m pretty sure Huma looks like she’s straddling a wookie. Or Disco Stu.
Sports figures are mostly stupid and they need to shut up or we’re not gonna watch.
Evening.
Lauraw, kind of like terror attacks. Aloha snackbar shoots up are stabs at a public venue. Cops/FBI/MFM stumped as to what the motive could be. NFL/ESPN ruining the games by politicizing everything. Fans tell them why they are cancelling season tickets and NFL ticket. NFL doesn’t understand why ratings and attendance down.
Hi Jewstin! Did you have a nice birthday?
I traded working in a shithole dump for making shithole dumps. I am in charge of septic tanks.
Hi Oso. I had a great birthday. Boyfriend threw a big party.
“TiFW, I forgot when you said your knee surgery was.”
Left knee is next Wednesday; right knee is 3 weeks after that.
October is going to be a very interesting month…..
Holy shit! Kurt Schlichter just tweeted out my latest column!!!!
Holy shit!!!1!11!!11!
>>>>Will still win because Hillary.
We have really defined the concept of “winning” down dramatically.
I retweeted Kurt’s tweet of your column. Navin’d 😘
He’s gonna be my guest on Oct. 8 to pimp his book.
Wait to buy it until after he’s my guest, so he thinks I got him sales.
