Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
This Christmas song is sooooooo much better than the Mariah Carey version.
And the view doesn’t hurt, either.
Awake yet?
Nice smile.
Would be better with a smile.
Hi Mare.
Hi Pupster.
Thank you for your attention, and thank you to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love. Y’all have a good day.

Ha ha! Trump says we are going to say Merry Christmas again.
This will throw liberals into bigger, more apoplectic fits of rage that anything else he does, including building the wall, Mike Pence, Rex Tillerson, Steve Bannon and grabbing women by the pussy.
i like Bublé’s style –
great voice
and i agree with you roamie on the “much better”

Did everyone receive packages?
======
Your mom handles so many packages her nickname is FedEx……
wakey wakey.
Someone wake Lauraw up. We can’t have her turn into a lazy-about just because she’s on break.
Don’t worry, she’s due for a panicked exam-taking nightmare about now.
Having trouble with gift ideas for my husband. I got him the Meathead book.
Meat thermometer for the smoker. A newfie sticker for his car. The latest Michael Medved book.
Oh, CD of an Older Mark Steyn book.
My whole morning is meetings after 9am. Today sucks.
Nevermind I don’t need you’re help. I got him that stuff and also I’m having a sign made for him. I”m not sure what I want it to read. They have a couple different styles – but it will say “O’Brien” and Established … day we were married. They’re pretty cool. Local gal makes ’em.
Two newfies at my feet. I’d like to get a picture of the newfies together and frame that for him as well.
Your
I don’t need your grammar correction either. Your mom, on the other hand …
No nightmares last night! Awesome. But a migraine with a visual disturbance this morning. Hopefully that will be the last stress symptom for a while.
I need to buy some pork belly. Christmas bacon has to get started today or tomorrow.

HotBride’s last day at the asylum yesterday.
Oh man, these just all make me laugh and laugh.

Good for her, Hotspur! I hope they unionize and get everything they deserve, good and hard.
Ok, FINE.
I’m doing everything in my power to keep Possum away from Santa.
How’s she doing, Hotspur?
She really put her heart into making the coop the best she could. The union shitheads publicly stated that they were unionizing because they wanted a role in management.
– they never once attended a monthly board meeting which are open to all staff, members, and public
– they never once attended her twice monthly staff forums
– never once came to her and talked to her despite the fact that her office is open-door
– they’d been secretly meeting since March
– they ambushed her and the board at the November meeting with 2 union thugs standing at each entrance to the room
– they publicly lied about her and vilified her in a change.org petition and their fucking facecunt page
But hey, it’s Ann Arbor. Workers have a right to organize, despite the damage they do to a human being. Her reputation and feelings are of no relevance to their cause.

If you take the time to read that bullshit, bear one thing in mind – not one of the employees ever came to HotBride and talked about unhappiness with conditions. Not one.
Michigan Daily was available on campus right next to MIM Notes* when I went there. It was often hard to tell one from the other.
*Maoist International Movement’s public newspaper
Jesus.
I love the regrets voiced over her resignation. Maybe the part of them that is still human had a brief moment of clarity where they recognized that they had done actual harm to someone.
…nahhhh….
Douchebags can go hang.
You know what happens when the employees set their own standards for the institution, right?
Right.
You’re telling people who are making $10.50 an hour … to take on another extra hour of work that you have to do in the same amount of time, you’ve got to have some sort of compensation for that,” Williams said. “And we’re not getting compensated for that, but we’re spending what is greater than my two-week salary on a benign sign.”
Baa haaaa haaa haaaaa … are these U of M graduates spouting that nonsense?
“(Management has) steered the Co-op onto a path that it cannot succeed on,” Bianco wrote in a petition protesting Parmenter and Associates’ hire. “Upper management hopes to make the Co-op more profitable by cutting labor and transforming this long-standing community institution into a mini-Whole Foods.”
Yea, because whole foods is a horrible example to follow.
If it weren’t so personally hurtful to Hotbride, it would almost be entertaining to watch what happens to the place over the next few years.
Be assured, she will delight in watching it slide into failure.
That Bianco asshole is Ann Arbor’s pajama-boy in the flesh. They all are. Fags, dykes, and perforated inked up misfits.
But she catered to them and tried to make a model workplace for them. They all had healthcare, dental, three weeks vacation, 9 paid personal days, better than average wages, and paid holidays.
For the most part they all have useless degrees, but they work in a fucking grocery store. They are the generation of angst and “we need to get the Man.”
In the comments someone mentioned overworked nurses and a response to that said the co-op workers earned less than half of what nurses get paid. I fucking hope they earn less!
idiocy
Proud Strike breaker (Security) 1992 – 2002. Vance International. Worked strikes at Caterpillar, Bridgestone Firestone, Rocky Mntn Steel, Hasbro, Detroit News, Pittsburgh Press, Peabody Coal, McDonnell Douglas, Overnite Transpo, and more little shit companies that I can remember. We kicked the shit out of them at Detroit News and used heli’s to get the product delivered. Beat their ass on the picket line and beat their ass in court also. And got paid WELL. We were a PMC before the term was coined. There were only three times when I felt it was the company that was being the shitheads, and I left.
It’d be a real shame if someone got a bunch of jackrocks and seeded the union hall parking entry.
At $10.50 per hour I hope it’s a hell of a lot less than nurses. I’m pretty sure RN’s are making $32-$40 down in this non-union hell hole we call West Texas.
But she catered to them and tried to make a model workplace for them. They all had healthcare, dental, three weeks vacation, 9 paid personal days, better than average wages, and paid holidays.
so, basically it was a sweatshop. Hotbride should be ashamed of herself.
Did they have to sell Keno too?
I may make more per hour, but I don’t get ANY of those benefits.
Fuck them. I hope the place crashes and burns. Their tears will be delicious.
Someone should encourage them to destroy that “benign” sign as a symbolic gesture. FUCK the Man.
I have two weeks and no paid personal days. Those twerps need a bat upside the face.
Heh, after being out 4 days this month I might see the end of personal days.
We’ll be laughing with Hotbride. Fuck the Coop! They deserve what they get.
“we need to get the Man.”

Well of course. Their situation can’t possibly be their fault, they have to blame someone.
Damn, Pepe. Did you go all serial on this joint? Where’d you hide the bodies?
We found some lovely wild gulf shrimp fatties at an excellent price at the restaurant supply place. Surf and turf tonight!
You know what I think my migraine/ fainting thing was this morning? I think I’m actually experiencing withdrawal symptoms from cortisol.
Cortisol is a hell of a drug.
I don’t even know what I’m saying.
LW, my wife frequently gets a migraine shortly after she’s weathered a long period of stress. It’s her body’s way of saying, “I hung in there as long as I could. Now you get to pay the price. Sux to be you.”
Sounds awful, Pendejo. Laura, that makes sense to me, I went through it with dopamine when I first started trying to quit porn. Headaches and depression.
It’s basically the same reason why when you are on a steroid medication you have to taper down and can’t stop abruptly. You get these symptoms if you don’t taper steroids.
I should take my BP morning and night for a while. I was off the charts during this semester. At one point on a real bad day I had some other students taking my BP every few minutes and it was 150-170/ 95-105.
Not strokeville, but def not good.
Nineteen pounds of beautiful Canadian pork belly on the porch. Tomorrow it starts it’s greatest journey. Christmas bacon. For the people I love.
We have a saying out in these parts. “Old age will fuck you up.”

The crashed Osprey was doing mid-air refueling at night. Upon disconnect, it hit the hose-drogue with a prop…
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/12/14/us-marines-ground-all-ospreys-in-japan-after-crash.html
It is basically…
Seems like a likely hazard for that sort of bird, Chris.
The props are certainly big enough, wonder what the protocol for handling the aircraft at disconnect indicates? I would imagine they have a standard profile, for approach and departure.
Thanks for the correction, Leon.
*dispatches only two very small flying monkeys*
There’s no way to know from that Fox article exactly what happened.
For all the cries about it being a flying coffin, the MV-22 has a pretty damn good safety record, certainly far better than the CH-46 it replaced.
My only real complaint about the Osprey is the fact that it is stunningly expensive.
I’m actually shocked you can even do mid-air refueling on it. Pretty cool that it can.
You should watch a CH-53E doing aerial refueling. With a slingload.
Hotspur, you should call Thayrone and have Hotbride tell her side of the co-op story, he’d eat that up.
*gets a text from MNKY 1939*
lol
Leon, look out your window and check out what’s happening to your vehicle right now. They had Taco Bell on the way to MI. I’d advise you to stay indoors.
Finally, a worthy target!
*pressurizes Mostly Peaceful Protest*
Mercy, man! These monkeys are older than your grandparents! Shitting on your car from 80 feet up is the only fun they have left in life!
*frantically texts MNKY 1939*
He def would, but she wants to remain employable in this shithole dump of a city.
She got a call from a woman bitchcunt at the Observer. HotBride told her, “No Eve. You’ve misquoted me, and misconstrued my comments in the past. Send me your questions and I’ll respond in writing.”
Nothing further from her, so I’m sure she’ll do a hit piece.
Evening Hostages. Anyone having any fun today?

Nothing. Nothing does.

Laura’s mom does.
Don’t ask me how I know. I’m still in therapy.

was doing a search on CH-46 safety.
it sure looked bad

Hotbride doesn’t deserve the shade they threw in that article. I hope she enjoys Christmas before looking for another job.

I want to get a pretty significant haircut but now I can’t, because it’s a lefty chick signal of election-grief or whatever.
These bitches just can’t stop fucking up life for everybody else, even with their bullshit symbolism.
Get a Mohawk, and call it Trump Tower.

She’s probably back in prison.
Took California Guy out to dinner tonight. Turns out he did some work on a project in my home town, and we had a lot of places and people in common. He manned up in the cold, I’m sure he is going to tell war stories to the office about how he walked 50 yards from the car to the restaurant in zero degrees with a -20 windchill.
I got an unexpected Amazon Package today, I assume Secrete Sanat related.
Lauraw, get the “I want to talk to the manager haircut”. I’d get it, but all my haircuts look like “Pete Rose”

My brother in law is not very observant, and kind of a douchebag. He was on a mini-rant about hipsters and commented about how when he saw their ironic beards and close-shaved haircuts on the side he just wanted to punch them in their face, and then he looked over at me and noticed my beard and haircut as I stood up to face him.
I’m not a hipster, but he shut the fuck up for a while after that. Which is nice.
There are mixed accounts as to how she ended up in the vat…

MA has fatty tumors that have all turned out to be benign. Vet told us that any surgery would be cosmetic. Tumors are benign. Bae looks like Rocky Dennis. Slight exagerration.
