Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Once upon a time, when MTV actually played music videos, some of those videos tried to be little mini-movies. Most of the time, they just conveyed that cocaine is bad, m’kay? John Wetton of Asia and Crimson King passed away today (Tuesday the 31st), and in thinking of Asia, I remembered seeing a video jukebox in Charleston, SC. It was in a video game arcade, and it was just like a regular jukebox except it was a dollar per song instead of a quarter, fewer songs, and a TV screen. My friends and I dropped a couple of bucks to see a ZZ Top video (“Legs“, IIRC) and this:
Allan Quatermain? Indiana Jones? Who knows. All I know is Aggie’s machete works better than that.
Speaking of Allan Quatermain….
Pick your version.
Image search brings up that Chris Hemsworth is looking at the role.
Let’s not forget Indiana Jones…
Lastly, cheerfully stolen from Carin’s FB wall.
I’m outta theme and outta time. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

I need to sleep more, but ‘code complete’ is Friday, I’m trying to add one last feature, and we’re pulling an obscene amount of dead weight for such a small team.
Is that Richard Chamberlain? That guy was ridiculously popular.
wakey
Pink sunrise behind snowy woods was absolutely beautiful this morning.
I’m listening to Roamy’s linked ZZ Top album. I used to own this.
On cassette.
Leon, I understand the situation you are in. I have a guy in his late forties who has been in ‘still learning and knowledge gathering’ mode for almost 2 years now. Still can’t rely on him to deliver anything. Still makes stupid mistakes writing the simplest SQLs. Thankfully, he doesn’t report directly to me, so he is not my problem.
Hotspur, did the liberal you were talking to yesterday ever notice that the ‘walls don’t work’ argument is actually incompatible with the reasons most liberals oppose building a wall? Unless libs are suddenly against wasting taxpayer money on a massive useless building project, it is to laf.
Richard Chamberlain was gay, which of course was no secret. I use to see him in Hawaii with his special friend.
He’s best known for his role in Thornbirds.
Lauraw – the libs on my facedouche are going with the “it’s a waste of money” argument.
I like how Netanyahu made a statement about the Israel wall working (Incredibly well) and it is great Trump is committed to building one.
I’m very thankful I don’t have a Facebook account.
He is your problem though, just like these are mine. They are drag on the company, they cut into the salary pool, make the organization less competitive, and eventually that starts losing you contracts/sales. In my case, we have a 6 person team with 2.5 people on it. From the outside, it looks like we should be getting a lot more done.
Like Laura said, libs never want to waste money on building projects. Hahahahahahaha, their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
For a group that by and large hates the military, the Lefties sure do a lot a marching.
“Marching refers to the organized, uniformed, steady and rhythmic walking forward, usually associated with military troops”
I think they’re doing it wrong.
Neil Gorsuch is nice looking.
the libs on my facedouche are going with the “it’s a waste of money” argument.
I hate that I knew exactly where this was going.
Oh, and Hotspur apoplectic anyone would buy a drill from Ikea, priceless.
When conservatives complain about the libs wasting money on stupid nonsensical shit (like Connecticut’s Busway To Nowhere), the libs’ idiot repeat-parrot reply is always BUT JOBS, JOBS. JOBS FOR PEOPLE. WE NEED THE JOBS. WHY DO YOU HATE JOBS. JOBSSS (squawk! Jobs! *whistle*)!
So this should also be our idiot repeat-parrot reply.
Warden at 10:10 today.

WSJ article today. Women have a new response to “Man caves”…the “She Shed”.
From the introduction: “Tiny houses with mood lighting, flower boxes and throw pillows are popping up in backyards as overbooked women create spaces of their own.”
And before Hotspur adds the comment: I loved your mom’s she shed
I need one of those so I can move my office out of the house.
I’ll put a heavy bag where the throw pillows would have been.
Heh, She Shed was a classic episode on Last Man Standing. Tim Allen went the leon route.
No way Gorsuch is confirmed conventionally. And I’m not sure I like the nuclear option. It can be used against you, as it already has. We surely don’t want to expand it to SCOTUS picks.
Somebody talk me down.

This is happening, Jay. They’re already telling the base this isn’t the hill to die on.
Next guy is getting screwed, though.
I saw something like that, laura. Glad he went with Gorsuch, instead of a watered down person “everyone” would like.
But I don’t think Schumer will go down that easy.
How about, “Filibuster is not a factor for any SCOTUS pick previously confirmed unanimously by the senate”.
>>Next guy is getting screwed, though.
And this is why it would be better if Schemer filibusters and Mitch is forced to nuke it.
We have at least one and potentially 3-4 vacancies coming up over the next 4 years.
Currently the only reliably conservative + relatively young person there is Alito. We need more. Thomas is getting old, and Roberts I don’t trust.
>>How about, “Filibuster is not a factor for any SCOTUS pick previously confirmed unanimously by the senate”.
That would be an interesting compromise as long as it does not foreclose the possibility of a future nuking of the filibuster.
Y’all are ok with the nuclear option?
It also means that no future justice will ever be unanimously confirmed, there would always be a holdout to block it.
2/3rds, maybe.
heckuva job, Bammy.

Why can’t the fucking pussy ass republicans grow a pair?
Heading over to Mom’s in a bit. Who’s the snoozefest on Wiserbud’s channel right now? Sounds like she belongs on NPR.
I’ll wait for Warden’s show before I take off.
Where do I find Wisers broadcast on the net? Please and Thank You.

Damn. Missed it.
Or did I? Was Warden on yet?
YAYYY
I hope wiserbud goes viral.
warden did a good interview. I’d like to hear something like that on NBC.
I’m not holding my breath.
You should hold your breath.

Recycling isn’t worth the trouble. I pulled all my titanium scrap from the past couple of years. About 80 pounds. Look online and the average price is $.20/lb. $16 isn’t worth messing with.
New Titanium is from $48 to $90/lb.

Brilliant. Maybe we should invest in blood pressure meds,…….. and heroin.
I should have brought a book
Kindle app for smartphone has made me a much more patient man.
If you look really closely at the fireman picture you can find some puppies.
It took me a few minutes.
I had my kindle ready to go but oschi was a handful
We need a new rule: No more talking about pets.
Why not pets?
It’s boring.
I just found out that a young woman I dated for a bit in 2000 died in November. She was 45. 😦
Very little isn’t.
So instead of boring we go sad?
Although I’m sorry for your loss.
It’s not really a loss. Totally lost touch with her. But it is sad that she died so young.
I don’t know why. The obit just says “suddenly”.
I’d have to check obits to see if any of my exes had passed other than my ex wife. I’d never hear about the others.
I had a pet die a couple of years ago.
/covers both sad and pets
lol
*high fives Jay*
When you ask about why no White History Month you’re told that every day is White Privilege Day but then they tell you that you can’t celebrate it
*confused
If I’m lucky, I’ll outlive my exwife. If I’m extremely lucky, I’ll still remember her when she passes.
You can celebrate it, but you have to pace yourself. Only 1/335 as much celebrating per day, and you already use that up, with your white privilege.
Ha! Jay!
>>a young woman I dated for a bit in 2000 died in November. She was 45
Hotspur, I think you violated the half plus 7 rule there.
I did. That’s why I quit dating her.
WHY DO YOU HATE JOBS. JOBSSS (squawk! Jobs! *whistle*)!
LOL
HA. Someone in a lefty town near here has proposed a bill called
The Save Money and Reduce Trash Plan.
Who wouldn’t vote for that??
If it passes, they will only be able to throw out garbage in town approved garbage bags that cost $2 each.
Idiots. People will be bringing their trash to work, dumping in the woods, or bringing it to McDonald’s to save money.
I hope it passes.
My ex’s folks lived in a place without trash service.
They had a burn barrel and a compost heap.
That’s what mom and dad did. After a while it became easier for them to pay to drop off their garbage in town, because they went there every day anyway (they live a mile outside of town).
Remember when the democrats in Wisconsin ran away?
It’s evidently in the pussy-sport democrat playbook.
New ductwork/venting going in downstairs. Drill – RIGHT NOW – is reminding me of being at the dentists office.
Yeah, Orrin Hatch just changed the rule on them, not requiring a dem to get a quorum, so their delay by boycotting won’t work now.
Hotspur, why I’m 100% behind going nuclear at this point.
It isn’t boycotting. It’s what children do.
They’re fucking infantile assholes.
I understand your concern about nuking the filibuster and changing the rules. The Dems will just dish it back when they resume some power.
But you know what, the Dems are assholes and they need to be neutered.
wiser is getting more relaxed, listening to his promos.
SHUT UP Hotspur.
^directed at no pets comment
Doc thinks something might be malformed in her throat. She coughs a lot, but doesn’t have a cold/infection.
I wish I had a good picture which I could include here of Oschi.
For Hotspur.
it’s a shame that your phone doesn’t have a camera, huh?
Have you poated any pictures of her, Car in?
So you have to pay property tax on your car in CT?
How much are license plates and property tax?
I just don’t have a good picture of her. She’s so dark, and moves so much.
That’s why I qualified it with the adjective “good”.
We have to pay property tax (rent) on cars, trailers, boats, motors, etc. year after year after year…
We paid $560 in car tax last year, my van is a 2007 and Laura’s truck is 2003.
Registration is about $115 per year.
In Michigan we pay sales tax on the purchase of a vehicle – 6% one time.
My license plate and registration is about $80 per year.
Property tax on a vehicle seems like a really racist thing.
You can hear Whoopi’s head pop, just reading this:

Our house tax is almost $6000, and we live in a crappy little house.
My Walmart delivery is here!
I love walmart.com. Great prices, free delivery, no weird people.
Probably too late to be a tutorial for Wiser’s Seahorn interview, but Harry Caray wrote the book on interviewing athletes who got dumped by exceptionally hot women.
My property taxes for the 5 acres and 1700 sq ft house are about 3k.
That’s insane, Scott.
Our house tax is about 3500 for a 2 story and we’re pissed about that. Our personal property tax is a tad over $500.
The house on our farm with 15 acres is 700 in taxes.
*getting pissed thinking about how much higher our taxes are going to jump for putting in a ‘mother-n-law’s quarters with bathroom and kitchen*
Heh, love Bob and Tom.
There used to be a dump where everybody would dump their trash, then the county would cover it up and dig a new trench. Then they started locking it up, then they built a transfer station where you’d dump it in a big bin and started charging. People immediately started throwing trash out in arroyos and in front of the transfer station. Now people use the transfer station, or just pile it around their houses. My mother in law lives in town and has to pay for trash pickup, so Penelope just drops it off there.
Penelope got a letter from the property tax people. “We’ve tried repeatedly to inspect your property for valuation purposes, but can’t get past the locked gate. Please call us to schedule an inspection..”
They can eat a bag-o-dicks. Not gonna happen unless the give us a sky high valuation.
In Michigan you are not required to let an assessor inside your house. They can look all they want at the outside, but it is legal to refuse them entry.
$1400 o 1560 SF house. About $65 for licence plate and $12 for safety inspection on each vehicle per year. No income tax.
Texas…….why the fuck doesn’t everybody live here?

I see no reason whatsoever to accommodate in government a party willing to foment civil unrest, lawlessness, and outright violence in response to political setbacks. The Democratic Party has just such a track record, going back to the 1860s.
Nuke the bitch ’til it glows, then pass amendments to make the rhetorical rubble bounce.
Texas…….why the fuck doesn’t everybody live here?
Workin’ on it…
Some lib mouthpiece called all the AA’s cooperating with Trump, “mediocre Negros”. Can’t remember who it was but he ought to get beat down like Dresden in ’45.
8k per year property tax on a little old townhouse.
Two towns away, the annual tax on a $700K property can be $25K. It is insane.
But hey, annual car emission inspection is free!
HA! Rush just reported 7 democrats, 6 of whom are up for reelection in ’18, have said they would not be on board filibustering Gorsuch.
I want McConnell to NUKE! And then the next SCOTUS slot can go to Cruz.
It’s like Brother Cavil is my twin.
I don’t know where this grill brush came from.
It’s as if some flying monkey dropped it from the sky.
We’ve been told assessors peek in people’s houses if they suspect home improvements are going on.
In TX it’s based on square footage at the mean price per square foot that the all the previous properties in your neighborhood have sold for during the previous 3 or 4 years. I’m pretty sure that’s how it works anyway. No amount of internal renovations would be considered.
But hey, annual car emission inspection is free!
Heh. Emissions inspections. Pffft.
Oh, look, a grill brush out in the yard.
LOL@Cankles going back on the speaking circuit.
Who wants to pay to see that failed old cunt stumble up to a podium and cackle?
Hotspur, can we point and laugh at her, or do we have to pretend that she’s a serious, respected thinker?
Because I’d pay for the former.
She doesn’t have anything to sell anymore.
Neither does her philandering pervert husband.
She should do what all other washed up public commodities do–get a show at Vegas!
Why is there a grill brush in my cat box?

The grill brush is being hidden next to the muddler.
What kind of person admits this stuff publicly?
Porn dude’s tiara is crap.
Not trying to bore HS, but MaryAnn snores so loud I have been sleeping on the couch. Doggeh dreams+snoring=cranky Oso.
I’m outside the city limits, so $800 for 2,000 sq. ft. house and 30 acres. Four cars, I think $600 total. I could get tags as cheap as $25.50, but I pay $50 for the pro-life ones for three of the cars.
Then again, you get what you pay for. The roads and schools are crap here. I’m paying $8K a year to send Mini-me to a decent school, and I had to get my car aligned again because of a monster pothole. Didn’t see it in the dark so I hit it at 40 mph. Dented the rim, lucky I didn’t get a flat. Police are good, fire fighters are volunteers.

One of the few good things about living in oil country is that oil companies pay about 95% of the taxes. Our county has property values of roughly $2B but only about 8000 live here. Of course Austin confiscates a lot of the overage.
Star is a big time snorer. Sometimes as we’re laying in bed drifting off to sleep the sound is so loud Paula and I both start laughing out loud.
Get that dog a CPAP mask!
Propane for me. I don’t like the mess of charcoal. Charcoal makes better flavor though.
I just watched a Hallmark card commercial, 30 seconds long, showing couples hugging and proposing etc. of the 10 or so couples shown THREE were same sex. Really? Really?
My husband knows never to buy me a hallmark card so there’s that.
Going outside now to feed horses and shovel in the dark. Then back to the “office” to do other people’s jobs for them.
What is wrong with Susan Collins, did she have a stroke or get Parkinsons? She sounds weird.

MJ PREDICTIONS:
Only women’s groups flush with cash will hire Hillary C–t to speak at events. Wall St will not. She’s old and busted.
Scott will find his grill brush in the toilet where Laura left it.
Tushar will realize that paying $856M in property taxes to live in NJ is a bad idea and will move to a low cost state. He will partner with MJ to form a company called MJ+Tushar Solutions™ which will focus on automating manual muppet processes.
Jimbro will scratch his ass, pick his nose, and wonder what stinks.
Hotspur will put on a size 18 dress and pretend to be your mom. Then he’ll drink a beer and eat fish sticks for dinner. People in the ghetto bar will wonder why he was late, not about what he’s wearing.
Mare will yell cock when the box of Chablis gets light.
Roamy will engineer you a new asshole if you have a dented rim.
Pendejo will be funny, then look into the middle distance across a boldly colorful sunset over the Texas prairie.
Leon will accidentally eat his baby then spit her back up and document the whole thing in a blog post on ‘A DINGO ATE MY BABY .com’. It’s a blog dedicated to people that only eat meat and accidentally eat their babies.
Oso will finally figure out how to login so she doesn’t have a crappy generic avatar only to have Dan login, blow away her password, and relegate her back to a rhombus with a quirky face.
And that’s it for today.
Roamy, those are great!
The Goldbergs is great.

Well, now I want wine which I haven’t had in days because…slower fat metabolism function.

I predict MJ will trip and fall on Hairy Reid’s wrinkly penis. After he gets it off his face, he starts punching it.

If you need a guy with robotics experience for your muppet venture, I could make myself available, at least part time.

Trump basically told that messican pussy, “Either man up your fucking pussy army, or I’ll send mine to deal with your criminals.”
WINNING – every day.
Mexico is basically training wheels for the US Army. We need to invade them every 50 years or so so that our young officers can get some experience before they have to go fight a real enemy.
I thought we practised by invading Iraq every 20 years now.
