Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I am feeling especially lazy tonight, so in lieu of an Easter egg, I give the men a nice video.
Now for the ladies.
You bet I’m watching the World Series while putting together this poat.
I’ll warn you, if you search “jake arrieta body”, you get some pics to make your panties fly around the room. This one seems safe enough.
Redhead for Carin
Got tired of trying to find decent baseball pics.
Sa-lute!
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

The other competent person at my remote office gave notice. This will likely cripple the operation there.
I need to learn to deal with people who are Hillary voters. I’ve basically decided most of them are too stupid to even interact with.
This is MY problem. I mean, they may have been dropped on their head as a baby or something?
But honestly, how fucking stupid can people be?
Willfully-ignorant is more accurate.
I had lunch yesterday with a delightful lady who I like very much. We did not discuss politics. It’s better this way.
Civilization insulates people from many of the consequences of bad choices. This means that those who, in generations past, might have recognized their limitations and chosen lives aligned with traditional values they might not have fully understood but which would provide ample protection against brutal nature are free to choose ridiculous things yet still eat and procreate, leading them to believe that their choices are in some way valid. The traditions they eschew codify generations of discernment and learning from countless mistakes made by others who didn’t have the benefit of being born into them, but because they lack the intellectual heft and humility to explore that, they divest themselves of the wisdom of forebears in preference for the novel and untried that delights them in the moment.
“A nation is born stoic, and dies epicurean” ― Will Durant
And thus, the Hillary voter. Not just LIV, but arrogant beyond imagining, because punishment for hubris has not yet come.
These delightful people who are voting for Hillary are damaging our country.
I can’t ignore.
What Leon said too. They are voting to support a power structure that harms even them.
Marx laid out all of this, up to and including the willfull ignorance of history, as necessary elements of the Revolution. I’d say he was drawing from Plato’s Republic, but I have no idea if he was even so learned as to have read it.
I refuse to associate on a personal level with any progressive. They are the enemy of freedom.
It’s the willingness of the people to follow this path that bugs me. Not to Godwin (I don’t think I am) but leading up to the time of Hitler, the people were manipulated by rhetoric. No one THOUGHT a Hitler (or a Stalin or a Mao) was going to the result. They just marched one stop closer every day. And the idea of “for the greater good” was the excuse, basically.
At the end, you have a power-hungry madman. And people in Germany did NOT have the “access” to information as we do.
That people choose to be spoon fed is the problem. People can be completely disengaged from ANY information, and yet still be cheering on their candidate.
Honestly, I know i’ve bitched about this before, but you should see the things my mom posts. She just links stories – but they are so full of shit. She thinks she’s reading news.
I understand some of it. You can’t throw a rock around here without hitting a teacher, or state worker.
Laura’s friend for instance, it’s in her best interest to vote D.
Her retirement was saved by the stimulus.
These delightful people who are voting for Hillary are damaging our country.
I can’t ignore.
This is the emotional mechanism by which global warming is a cult with people who want to control how you heat your house.
And this is why they want to confront you at the Thanksgiving table. Because they are righteous, and they deeply believe you are so wrong. They believe that in just exactly the way you believe they are wrong, and they exhibit exactly this tone of frustration and desperation (that you are ruining the world).
I’m not cutting off all the people I love, over fucking politics. I can talk to them and I do talk to them. We have little discussions and we are respectful. But a lunch date one week out from an explosive election is a shitty time and place to engage. Nope, nope nope.
Vagina! —-> 2016
Her interests, not OUR interests. You should get a thank you card from her for funding her retirement.
See, I don’t give a SHIT about these things – people who vote for such selfish , screw-everyone-else reasons.
I’m not saying you should talk politics with these people. I know I don’t .
But if they ask? if they say ONE thing? They’re gonna get it. They just are.
It’s like me with that lady last week. I wasn’t going to let her sit there and say things that were simply UNTRUE. And i was nice about it with her and she said, as she left, “Thanks for the nice conversation.”
And she started it. not I. I avoid politics while I’m bartending unless they bring it up.
Her retirement was saved by the stimulus.
I couldn’t look myself in the mirror if my retirement money came from organized crime.
I take that back, I’d be fine if it were honest crime, like selling moonshine or meth. Graft and usury offend me.
Just as I avoid talking politics with my coworkers. unless they start. Which they often do.
They can’t help themselves.
Look it’s fine for them to simply say “I’m voting for Clinton just because I like her.” ok. Go for it, But when they say “I’m voting for Clinton because Trump is racist…” or other such nonsense, then I’m not going to let it go.
Me too, Leon.
I had a friend who I learned took money from some class action lawsuit. Changed the way I felt about him. Pat and I couldn’t believe it.
What’s to like? Seriously, no one likes Hillary, they just want her to do things for them.
They like that she’s a woman, most likely.
Mostly, I hate getting in conversations with liberals because they generally don’t know anything.
They literally don’t. History. Even recent history. You mention some event, and they look at you with those doe eyes.
How do have a conversation with that?
Mostly though – I’d rather get into a few nasty discussions to avoid the coming civil war.
“Her interests, not OUR interests”
That is why CT is forever democrat.
Of course, the pillaging of the elite would be kind of fun.
I have a “well-informed” liberal friend that I can barely talk to anymore. He rattles off “facts” and non-sequitors that sound like history, but through the lens of a Howard Zinn. He’s security-savvy enough and pro-defense enough to understand how awful the email thing is, but I don’t even want to talk to him about it because I’m sure his take on it will make me question our association.
OK, well, I’m glad you can manage to keep it civil. I know I would not be able to, because I am too disgusted inside.
Related note: I have profoundly ignorant people who only just became interested in politics this year, pestering me at the work lunchroom. I give them zero information about my thoughts, and tell them I’m not discussing politics with them. They seethe.
The problem with this election is that because a TV celebrity is involved, actual retards have become politically active (on both sides, alas).
I’m not kidding. The learning disabled kid who does janitorial work for us is a political advocate now. The other people I work with start to argue with him, then stop themselves when they realize they are arguing politics with an actual retarded person. It looks bad, you know.
That’s how I feel when I think about arguing with people who just started being interested in ‘politics’ (really what they think politics is, is nothing of the kind) this year.
Pop culture + politics = retard involvement in the political process. I refuse. Nope.
Everyone I associate with is a lefty. It’s just how it is in Ann Arbor.
They’re nice people, and enjoyable to be around – AS LONG AS THERE IS NO DISCUSSION OF POLITICS.
That’s our rule. They know I’m a conservative, and I know they don’t agree with me. I know they are liberals and they know I don’t agree with them.
Politics, as with religion, should not be discussed in polite society.
OK, well, I’m glad you can manage to keep it civil. I know I would not be able to, because I am too disgusted inside.
I keep it civil because imho losing your cool, etc, is a sign that you’re losing. That you don’t have an argument. I can keep calm because I know I have facts and logic on my side.
I’d rather them lose their shit. When they start saying stupid stuff, I just small and know it’s over. They’re left with the “I can’t argue ” moment. Engaging with them – at this point -validates the stupid stuff they say.
You don’t have to talk politics overtly. You can talk philosophy and ideas and they won’t even know what you’re doing.
small – smile.
I don’t know about it being an emotional response, Lauraw. I’ve been (personally) screwed by Obamacare (not thoeretical, practical application of lefty dreamscape)And I can’t figure our how these indispensable friends can be sane and rational about EVERYTHING else but be emotionally driven on only political things, which is everything to them.
I’ve found the lefties i (use to) know all carried their crazy throughout all areas of their lives. Just like my conservative friends are all rather rational, life together kind of people.
But I have enough rational friends ( besides being sane, would do anything for me) that dropping the few lefty messes was actually a move in a positive direction.
JWs on the porch just now. They were polite enough to leave when I said I was Catholic and not interested.
Nah, my lefty friends are life-together kinds of people. Maybe it’s a geographical thing. The default setting here is lib. Anything else requires effort.
Convert them, Leon. Convert them….only you could do it!
I don’t mind a lefty if they’re not a hypocrite. But one who says we need to do everything for the environment, but then flies around the country all the time ….
Or is on some sort of aid and thinks “the rich” don’t do enough …
Honestly, there are enough sane people out there. A lefty who donates time and money and is ture about their beliefs? I’m ok with that. But a vote for Hillary is a sure sign they are hypocrites or uninformed.
Morning! I’ve got another ten minutes before I have to get up and face the day. Microeconomics homework this morning, and econometrics homework this afternoon, and then class tonight. Somewhere in there I have to fit a trip to the laundromat as well. Right now, however, this bed is warm…
Carin’s on to something, hypocrisy. Lefties will vote stupid but avoid applying stupid policy to their own life. I would like to converse with some “rich” ( those that inherited or expect to inherit money) lefties if Hillary applied her 65% death tax.
65% of parents’ hard earned money right in the crapper. I object on biblical if not rational principle.
Convert them, Leon. Convert them….only you could do it!
I thought about trying, but I have something I have to get done by noon. I really ought to keep a bible near the door with some bookmarks just for that. Maybe even their “translation” just in case they want to pick that nit.
Mare – i’ve known some lefties who truly walked the walk. I’m fine with them.
But when they see ” social obligations” as something everyone ELSE has … then we have a problem.
One of my lefty friends is a retired high school guidance counselor (but I repeat myself).
She now divides her time between Ann Arbor and Charlotte, NC where she grew up.
I could ask her how she justifies the fuel burned going there and back, or how she justifies heating the Ann Arbor house all winter.
But I won’t.
“The new emails contain travel documents and itineraries indicating
Hillary Clinton, President Bill Clinton, Weiner and multiple members of Congress and other government officials accompanied convicted pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein on his Boeing 727 on multiple occasions to his private island in the U.S Virgin Islands, sources said.”
Like to know those members of Congress. Yeah, I bet they didn’t notice those underage toys until they were sitting on their laps.
I know someone with a Tesla ( which they are very proud of), looks like aTaurus to me. Have yet to ask them if the 6.5 BILLION WE gave Elon was worth it to the rest of us so they could buy that overpriced joke.
These people are the sister and brother in law of friends we will be having Thanksgiving with. Election will be over, can’t wait to quietly drink wine and listen to their Lamentations.
Guys, tell me your honest thoughts about NAFTA’s effects on the US. Please get as detailed as you want.
Pat said he enjoyed by post yesterday. He checks in on CHumpo’s post every tuesday and saw mine instead. lol
Hey, has Chumpo checked in? I know the guy is crazy busy.
Here’s a good article.
http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/nafta-20-years-later-benefits-outweigh-costs/
Some people are raised as democrats. It’s hard for them to switch teams, because that would force them to admit they or their parents were wrong.
I know one. We agree on almost every single issue, but he’s voting for Hillary because he’s a democrat.
It’s so frustrating talking to him. He’s a freaking republican, yet there is a picture of him and HIllary on his office wall that probably set him back $10,000.
So, the DSM shooter was kicked out of a football game last month for flying a confederate flag.
This will get good. NOT!
Honestly, I think the answer depends on the industry you’re in. And what aspect of that industry.
I guess if you don’t mind having coffee with people whose voting history is driving you out of the state you love, that’s what is normal in today’s world.
http://www.boiseweekly.com/boise/nafta-and-idaho-winners-and-losers/Content?oid=3922645
And I didn’t mean that’s a bad thing, I actually meant that’s simply how it is.
The media makes it a lot easier to switch from R to D.
My Mom voted for Reagan twice, then Obama twice, and will vote for Hillary.
She blames Bush.
that’s because Republicans are bad, bad people. Do you want to be a bad person?
VOTE FOR VAGINA 2016
The media gave her a bad case of BDS.
She’ll never get over it.

Where is this from?
GND thinks NAFTA is a net benefit.
I don’t know much but countered with the fact that losing manufacturing jobs but gaining cheap goods is a terrible bargain.
It robs working people of dignity and locks them into buying crap that lasts for half the time it used to.
There are a lot of benefits to free trade, but there are also some costs. I tend to discount the manufacturing line of attack, since manufacturing in this country was already beginning to drastically change. However, I do have concerns that we’re allowing our economy to specialize to a greater degree than is healthy. We’re increasing our risk.
NAFTA hurt Michigan. And the value of a working populace outweighs that of cheap imported goods.
People are free to buy cheap crap that won’t last. ‘Merica.
Also, free trade with China is basically funding their military expansion.
Batteries are now all made elsewhere – Mexico and china/asia. That’s most because of the EPA though.
There used to be battery manufacturing everywhere. but it’s been a loooong time. Blame the EPA/AL Gore, not NAFTA.
The two are arguably intertwined. NAFTA made it easier to justify onerous regulations since all that icky stuff could just be made elsewhere and shipped in to the US.
We basically sent China all our coal burning (and our coal), so there’s that.

Scott, this is what you should tell your mom:
The over 65 age group leans towards Trump heavily. So Hillary wants them not to vote at all.
Either she will buy it and stay home.
Or, she will bop you upside the head for lying to her, which you will richly deserve, you lying scumbag.
So there’s winners and losers, but it’s not really clear on balance whether we would have been better off as a whole without NAFTA entirely?
Pretty much.
And being better off on the whole is the same thing as “everyone is better off”. Most of the advocates of free trade confuse the two, sometimes deliberately.
This is the emotional mechanism by which global warming is a cult with people who want to control how you heat your house.
While either totally ignorant or ignoring the fact that those pushing the snake oil are in it to make money for themselves and cronies, flying around the world in their jets, preaching, when not in residence in one of their several mansions.
Speaking of progressives, liars, cheats, and thieves, I got a phone call this morning from one of them. Haven’t spoken to him in probably ten years. He owes us a lot of money. Irresponsible Obama and Bernie supporter who thinks others should throw money at him with no questions asked. Still have the email my sister forwarded to me of him dissing me and my husband. I’m trying to think of why he would call me out of the blue.
1. He’s repentant and wants to apologize.
2. He needs moar money.
3. He’s coming back to this state, and needs a place to stay and the other democrat voters in the family turned him down.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I watch the crime shows. I’m getting nervous about dodging sniper fire as I go to the mail box.
Interesting. I tend to agree with Leon about the intrinsic value of working for a living not being outweighed by the ability of a poorer (unemployed) people to buy cheap merch. Seems to me that having an independent citizenry brings with it many other vital social goods.
I think I might bring up this topic to the lunchroom fucktards when they decide they want to pry me again. Just so I can see them go blank, like Carin’s doe-eyed lefties.
Oh…the answering machine got the call.
Tell him to bring the money, then you can talk.
Ok, someone mentioned liking Becks’ song “Debra” and I’d never heard the whole thing –
that song is HILARIOUS.
Can’t wait to hear what he wants, beasnsnsbss.
that song is HILARIOUS.
I said lady… step inside my Hyundai……
Love that song.
I want to get with you. And your sister. I think her name is Debra …
It was on my sirius radio yesterday. The Lithium channel, which is awesome.
Hotspur and mare, I’m not going to speak to him. And it’s not really about the money. It’s that he lied to get it in the first place and then he has made no good faith effort to make amends…like ‘how about I pay it back over ten years’…or a 50 here or a 50 there. He just blew us off, ignoring we had our own bills, debt, and kids to take care of. The only mention he made was to our dad, to tell us to write it off on our taxes.
And then the manner in which he spoke of us afterwards – for not loaning him more (or probably not letting him live in our house and take care of him) — with disdain and hostility.
He wants something as I don’t see him having developed a conscience. Not to mention, the one family member he talks to said that he recently lamented that he thinks if he needs $$ help, noone has the right to question him why, where, how long, or how much. I guess we’re rayciss for not putting his name on our accounts.
Car in?
Yeah, because banks lend money all of the time – no questions asked. Here take as much as you need. Come back for more if it isn’t enough. Don’t worry about paying it back. We have plenty.
Btw, whatever ebola I’ve had seems to have finally gone away, for the most part.
tend to agree with Leon about the intrinsic value of working for a living not being outweighed by the ability of a poorer (unemployed) people to buy cheap merch.
People like to complain about all the cheap shit being made in china (or wherever) but they dont’ seem to complain when they can buy a pair of shoes for $15 for their kids. WHo are going to outgrow them in four months anyone, so they don’t need something that’s going to last.
It’s all about trade offs. I suppose we’ve swung too far into the disposable land of goods – but then I’ve heard that much of that stuff is “baked into the cake” (as everyone was saying the other day). A washer only lasts 4 years because they want you to buy another one in four years, not because it was made in china.
Unions hurt MI too, no question. If anything, their intransigence probably led to NAFTA.
that’s me, pretty much. Why do people have to talk to me?
Hotspur, he hates bankers. He’s a HYUGE Bernie supporter. Swallowed his shit, hook – line – and sinker.
He’s told me before that family should always help family, no matter what……..unless the shoe is on the other foot, and you need help from him. Then good luck finding him.
I don’t HAVE to talk to you. I LIKE to talk to you.
Now if only you would STOP by when you drive right past my window. Or at least honk.
*unplugs phone*
I usually have it unplugged but Mr. B. forgot to do it this morning after his early morning conference call.
*hopes someone doesn’t show up at my door*
Hotspur, he hates bankers
All bankers or just joooos?
Hotspur, he hates bankers.
I bet. They’re so judgey and shit.
He’s a perpetual adolescent. Probably all bankers.
I bet. They’re so judgey and shit.
They want to look at your credit record and expect repayment. If you don’t, they can come after you. Family? You can f*ck them over and whine how uncaring they are if they want repayment.
He’s gotta be down and out to be calling us.
Beasn, you should not care about him badmouthing you to the famiy. Most of them should know him well and won’t trust a word he says. Those who would believe him are not worthy of you caring what they think of you.
Now if only you would STOP by when you drive right past my window. Or at least honk.
I’ll plan better next time. When I went by last week erin pointed to your office and said “Isn’t that where your friend works? DOes he get mad that you just drive by?”
Not if I don’t tell him …
No seriously, the timing has just always sucked.
Ok, day two off “feed moose in the car” and the plan is going only wonderfully. I’ve got him jumping in and out of that car like your mom on a friday night.
Hahahahaha
Erin is wise.
Tushar, I don’t care he badmouths us to the family, it just speaks to how he really feels about us. To help him out again, would be like donating to hillary’s foundation.
I wonder if Hillary thinks Huma should stand by her Weiner.
I wonder what hillary thinks of Huma saving all those emails to two other personal email accts. Why would anyone do that?

You have to wonder what motivated her to marry Wiener. He is so repulsive, there was no way he could have covered up that character flaw while ‘dating’ her.
Maybe he sent her some dick pics.

“Trump is a tornado and Hillary is the trailer park.” – Gutfeld.
I’ve been saying the Clinton’s are trailer trash for years.
I’d be happy with the Cubs winning tonight. Their fans have waited long enough. After all those years of despair and then finally reversing The Curse with the Red Sox I’m okay when they don’t make it that far in the playoffs now. As long as the Yankees suck.
NAFTA just about killed ranching. For a few years after they opened the border to cattle from Mexico, all the feed lots within 600 miles of the border were full of them. Cattle prices went to 1950’s levels. It was brutal.
First hand:
When I worked for Tyco, we moved all of our manufacturing from Gardner, MA to Mexico. For the first year the quality was shit. Not usable, creating months long delays in US installations of equipment. It smoothed out but its never been the same.
At Berry, we’ve opened and will continue to open plants in Mexico, but to a smaller degree. It’s not feasible to send all or even most manufacturing down there. Our shit is too cheap and the transport cost would kill the profit increase form labor savings.
“This is not about Huma’s e-mails,” a surrogate told me. “It’s about the e-mails generally. There’s a lot of things that got us to this point. But if Weiner hadn’t taken pictures of his weiner, we wouldn’t be in this thing.”
This is from a top Clinton campaign person and why they will lose. It has nothing to do with Weiner and everything to do with setting up a private server to thwart FOIA requests.
The first step is admitting the truth.
They don’t have to admit the truth, they have the media to pound the lie into everyone’s head until they believe it.
Politico is covering David Duke again. They’re getting desperate.

Manufacturing is making a comeback here with the foreign automakers. GM and Chrysler left for Mexico. Toyota, BMW, and Hyundai moved in. Right to work state.
When I first started working for Target, all of our textiles were from SC. I remember watching Norma Rae and thinking “Cool”. Even before NAFTA, textiles were from Bangladesh, China, and Indonesia. Egypt got pissed that textiles were being labeled “Egyptian Cotton”. Mexican green chile nearly killed the Hatch Green Chile business.

I’m so nervous and sick about this election. Does Trump have a chance? F’ing Hillary Clinton, how is this possible, that we would have such a poorly educated electorate they would think this is a good idea?

Got a robocall from a tea party group. Bitched at them for calling during the World Series whenever they paused for my response. $200 to join! I waited through a lot of crap just so they’d record my evil laugh.
I’m a Tea-Partier.
Anthony Weiner is the savior of the republic.
They should put his dick worshiping, underage sexting, panty sniffing face on Mt Rushmore.
Sign of end times (or Common Core) – no one spell checks any more. Sign at work says Caution – Contruction Zone. Billboard on drive home is honoring Vietman veterans. Miss Clark would have an apoplectic fit.
So this is weird….
The woman that was ‘resisted’ to vote at my house is receiving texts at GNDs phone number to remind her to vote for Pickles.
Shavonne Triggs
WTF?
Registered.
The time to be robo-calling was months ago. It’s probably too late for ad buys now.
Weiner Rips into Hillary
Get these for your “Secret Satan” while you can!!!

No shit…
Weiner rips into your mom.
1. The Clinton Foundation investigation is far more expansive than anybody has reported so far and has been going on for more than a year.
2. The laptops of Clinton aides Cherryl Mills and Heather Samuelson have not been destroyed, and agents are currently combing through them. The investigation has interviewed several people twice, and plans to interview some for a third time.
3. Agents have found emails believed to have originated on Hillary Clinton’s secret server on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. They say the emails are not duplicates and could potentially be classified in nature.
4. Sources within the FBI have told him that an indictment is “likely” in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, “barring some obstruction in some way” from the Justice Department.
5. FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clinton’s server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information had been taken from it.

Of course it’s been hacked! Anyone running a server better be up on their security, or a script kiddie will be running programs on it.
Jon Lester went to my high school.
Right to work state.
Unions are fighting tooth and nail to prevent this from happening here in MO.
Awesome, mare!
“barring some obstruction in some way” from the Justice Department.
Something that department has been doing all along because they have been illegally aiding the cankled beast by the JEF request.
I put some chicky chicky in the oven and forgot to turn on the timer.
Oops.
Fifteen minutes too long shouldn’t be too chewy, right?
Iowa is a right to work state. You’d think that we’d be awash in unemployed, and welfare payments.
Nope. One of the lowest rates in the nation. And a balanced budget. Of course a GOP gov doesn’t hurt.
6. How many people will go down if the Clinton Foundation goes down and how many agents are on their payroll?
Jay, part of what is happening is a shocking lack of familiarity with technology on the part of the Hillary campaign.
It was very clear from the beginning of this little story that Pickles and her entire coterie of people thought that an email account was tied to a device. As if they belonged together. It’s the only explanation for why she told the world that she only wanted one phone.
She was obviously confused later when asked about it.
Lots of people confused about email. People just don’t realize what/where/how email behaves and is stored.
But a private server? Someone along the way HAD to tell someone high up in the campaign how gloriously stupid that was.
Wow, drinking one of my first Hefeweisens. This got really good!
Any bets on how much damage occurs in Chicago tonight?
Holy shit! Tied it off Chapman!
I had a friend who I learned took money from some class action lawsuit.
??? I took money from a class action lawsuit. I got $7K for a $11K repair of the house siding, $19 from Lifelock, and I think $36 from Amazon.
He claimed he had damages that he didn’t have.
Jay, Tucker Carlson talked about how her top aides thought a private server was ‘f*cking insane’ and how they seemed to be too afraid to say anything to her. Afraid of what? Her cursing at them or getting put on the death list?
Oh crap.
Mr. Beasn just ran downstairs with that tie run. I was kind of rooting for the Cubs.
I always wonder if they think the mailman takes your letters from your house directly to the recipient. No sorting. No transfers. No batching.
I wonder if people realize just how many servers an email hits. One idiot (read: Weiner) and all your emails are available to the world.
Holy shit, beasn, the stadium just rocked with that run. Lebron was jumping around.
*still not better than 2011 and the Cardinals.
Heh, rain delay?
Looks like we’re buying the house in the woods. The basement has space for a brewery.
You’ll need to help me out, Jay.
Oh, you’ll love it. Imma gonna hook you up.
Sweet
Like “I can bury a body in them woods” or just lotsa trees.
I’m asking for a friend.
(J’ames)
He claimed he had damages that he didn’t have.
Ah, now I understand. Holy cow, what we had to go through to prove we had Dryvit for that big class action. A receipt showing we’d bought Dryvit, a receipt showing we’d paid the guy who installed the Dryvit, the empty bucket that said Dryvit, and a chunk of Dryvit removed from the wall were not enough. $200 home inspection required.
Yea, no I wasn’t clear in my original comment.
Mr. RFH got 37 bottles out of this latest batch.
I shouldn’t, but here goes a Lilikoi Clone.
So, about 3 weeks, roamy? Let me know how it turned out!
This was waaay back in the late 80’s … and the company involved was just trying to cover it’s ass, so anyone who made a claim got paid.
I didn’t realize Mr RFH was a brewer. Very cool!
Maybe we’ll get Hotspur to whip up a batch to lure Car in over.
Lots of Trump commercials. A few for pickles too.
Her’s are pretty harsh–don’t vote for Trump. Trump’s are a little more forward looking–vote for me.

Haha, rain delay.
Still hanging in there, Sean?
This game is fucking killing me. Dan washed one of my Indian jerseys before the game for me to wear tomorrow for smak talking! Who does this? Ruins mojo for life!!!
Scott…I know you H8 baseball, but dude!

Good for the Cubs.
That’s the best ballgame I’ve seen in years.
