Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
This is probably a repeat for HHD music, but hey, early in the morning, you come creeping in my mind.
This week, we have Charlie Hunnam as our featured HHD. (Mainly because I couldn’t decide which pic I liked best.)
Star of the upcoming “King Arthur” movie.
Also in “Sons of Anarchy”.
Imdb says he was in “Cold Mountain”, but I didn’t care for that film.
Beach.
I need CoAlex to make me a sword like that.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Sorry to read about your torn cartilage Roamy. Give it time to heal after observation/repair/resect (really the 3 current and effective options available) and I bet you’ll be back to fighting shape before too long.
This is excellent. Roamy, I’m going to the old thread to read about your cartilage.
That’s a shame, Roamy. How is Mini-Me doing with Krav Maga?
i said a little knee prayer for ya roamy
this song keeps running thru me head for the last couple of days…

I’m so sorry about your knee, Roamy. Running in college did something similar to mine. It eventually got better, but it took months.
Pups, loved that!
Torn the medial cartilage in my right knee. I think I am done with krav maga.
I can put you on the comfy couch next to Ethan. that’s that’s meniscus, right?
Ethan had two spots – one they couldn’t repair and one they couldn’t in addition to the ACL.
Also – apparently the shin thing is blood from when they cut the bone. A gal at crossfit injured herself (at gymnastics – she’s a competitive gymnast) landed poorly, and her hamstring pulled apart her knee. She has the SAME thing on her shin. Both claim it hurts more than their knee.
wakey wakey
Ethan did NOT want to go to school today. He went yesterday. Said today it hurts just as it did right after surgery.
He’s not exactly the “suck it up ” type. I made him go.
My left hip abductor has been really tight lately, mostly from all the sitting for work, but also from building my bridge. Planning on going back to a standing desk in the near future.
I’m headed out to Ace in a bit, anyone need anything?
Tacks, brads, ten penny nails, bird house, suet, plunger, plumber’s candle, cord, and licorice.
Since we’re doing medical talk…..I call this “The Saga of the Pancreatic Mass.”
So, last Friday I had a super bad kidney stone. I go to the local ER and they do a catscan as part of routine diagnosis. The radiologist that reads the catscan says in his report that he has identified a 3.6cm mass on the head of my pancreas. Says that compared to images taken from 2012 and 2014 the mass has gotten larger and strongly suggest (mentions it twice in his report) that I have follow up testing to determine what the mass is. ER doc was “concerned” and made the same suggestions during check out and provided me with a copy of the radiologist report. This is the first I’ve ever heard about a “mass”. Was not notified in 2012 or 2014.
I go home and call my Dr. I’m like “Doc WFT??”. Doc says WTF? Now, on the Monday before last Friday I had a CT with contrast at another hospital to check a my heart. MY Doc calls the radiologist that reviewed the chest CT and asks if he can see the pancreas in the images. The radiologist responds “Yes” and pulls the images, saying he can see the pancreas just fine and reports THAT HE SEES NO MASS WHAT SO EVER.
So now Im all “WTF”?? And who do I fucking sue for incompetence?
Another comment in the spam ……probably shouldn’t have used the word “fuck” so much……
3 micron polyester bulk air filter material, 2″ thick, 15″ x 36″ at least.
And a Snickers.

Pick me up that tatted up Mexican chic with the nice tits. She was working in the paint section the last time I was there.

1) Holy crap, Pendejo has been to my Ace.
2) She was behind the counter last time I was there. I got the sense that I could pick her up if I wanted to, so we’ll see.
U da man Jay!
I may have to read your comment again, Troy, but I’m glad there isn’t a “mass” in there.
My advice would be to get in to see someone who knows wtf is going on like a GI specialist or a tumor surgeon and before going make several calls to make sure they have sent the scans to them in advance. Then also bring copies on disk of all the scans on the day you see them just in case they fcuk that up which is pretty common.
Amusingly, Amazon will not ship me sunchokes. I’m guessing they’re classed as an invasive species by the DNR or something.
Tatted up messican chic has three kids by two different dads. Also, herpes.
Well, I’m not picking her up for me.
Jerks today. Jerks and snatches. It’s all we do. Apparently we’re on some sort of “cycle”.
Re: The Header Pic
The first time someone told me their kid had ADD, circa 1994, I came very close to blurting out, “Your kid has to much THC in their blood stream. Excessive THC is causing their ADD.” I’m not sure this doesn’t still cover the majority of ADD cases in the post 12 year old category.
Jerks today. Jerks and snatches. It’s all we do. Apparently we’re on some sort of “cycle”.
I’m saying that there’s a possibility of double rotator cuff surgery in your future.
Sound advice, thank you dr. jimbro. What I discussed with my doc was getting all these images together and then having a pancreas specific CT done to get a definitive answer to this mass or no mass thing. If we were dealing with one image it would be one thing, but the radiologist from kidney day references two other image dates and then the radiologist from chest ct day says “nothing” …..I just dont get how the image interpretation could generate such different findings…..regardless, this bullshit has created unnecessary emotional turmoil in my otherwise non-emotional world….should be worth what? 50 – 60 K after everything is said and done? I’ll settle for 100k. (Just kidding, Im not one of those lawfare happy people).
Yikes, I hope you can things resolved quickly, troy.
And since you are prone to stones, is there any specific diet or water filter you should be following or you’re just genetically SOL?
If you found an attorney to take the case it might be hard to prove damages. Psychic turmoil is hard to quantify. They’d probably talk you down to a case of Mexican cokes and a night on the town with the tatted Mexican chick for down the hardware store.
Oh, and I’ll need another 2 gallons of PVA Primer. And can you stop at the grocery store and get me some red leaf lettuce and Earth Balance soy-free spread.
Ace didn’t have my 20% or 30% vinegar. I was so despondent after that that I forgot everyone’s requests.
Spent Saturday afternoon shopping for my nephew and his fiance’s bridal shower — which I almost forgot that it was on Sunday. They were only registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I don’t like BBB as I think a lot of their stuff is overpriced..but, whatever.
They didn’t have the sheets I wanted to get, and the only other thing worth getting was the pots and pans. Which happened to be one of the most expensive things on the registry. I got embarrassed at the shower because somehow our gift was the last to be opened and everyone went ‘Oooooooo’ because….they knew. (no other gift brought an ‘oooo’)
It bugs because these pots are of the non-stick variety. Who knows how many years they’ll last. I could have gotten a stainless set for around the same price and known it would last a lifetime. But it was their registry. Whatever.
It will just make the check we’ll write for their wedding gift, smaller.
I buy a new nonstick 12″ skillet once a year or so. I could cook everything in stainless but the time and effort would be a pain. I just accept that it’s an annual expense. The sucky thing is that the lids are perfectly good even after the pan is toast, but I can’t think of anything to do with them that doesn’t seem really tacky, like making a bunch of tiny 12″ cold frames.
If I told you I got married on April 10th Would you send me a check?
Im registered at Rural King Guns dot com if you’d prefer a gift.
There are gun shows. There are bridal shows. How come there are no gun and bridal shows? It seems like it would be two great tastes that taste great together.
I’ve been to a bridal show that was in the same hall as a ham radio show.
GAH, don’t tell me that, leon.
My nephew has expensive tastes. It was the same kind of thing with the sheets they wanted. They wanted 600ct sheets – which our BBB didn’t have. $150 a set. WTF? Did they not even look at say…Target? I could have gotten them 2 or 3 sets of 400 ct. sheets there for that price. Even their 800 ct. don’t cost that much. (I prefer their 400 ct. because they aren’t as heavy, they’re super soft, and made in India. Made in China sucks.)
After venting to beasnette, it gave me some comfort that she has the same long-term outlook on practical things and good value.
TT, you will have to somehow become family. And even then it’s not a sure thing.
I don’t do bridal registry gifts. Fuck that shit sideways.
I think it’s crass.
I guess I could save the lids for a decade or so and make a big single frame with a bunch of 12″ round windows.
Hotspur, I somewhat agree. The stuff these kids had on their registry…took me thirty years to accumulate less. Some of my drinking glasses are jelly jars from when my kids were in grade school. Hope they have the space.
I wanted to make them a quilt but with all the stress of the basement apartment…there was no place to work and no time. I don’t think they got anything homemade.
Yet another reason I probably won’t get married. Fuck that registry gimme shit.
why do you go through pans so quickly? Mine has lasted for years.
My family insisted on a registry for my second wedding over my protests.
The non-stick just rots away, Jay. Daily use, even with me being careful to never scratch it. When I start to see flakes, it’s done.
You could use them as “reactive” targets Leon.
Rats, it’s gonna be rainy for the next couple of days. Need to keep sealing that drywall, though. I’m getting sore from doing it all day yesterday. Meh.
You need a better class of nonstick frying pans
Didn’t NASA invent one before they did the Muslim outreach thing?
I might try one of the orgreenic ones this time. Last time I bought a high-end one it cost twice as much and lasted slightly longer.
The one I bought at Sam’s club is still good, years later.
Hello, fellow babies.
Taking a few days off and heading out upstate NY for my BiL’s wedding. I’m acting as best man.
A) I can’t wait for my speech to piss my MiL off
B) Should have some decent stories, however, my despised BiL will not be attending. So no dumbfuck BiL stories. sorry.
So, everyone that had GOP will cave in the office pool go claim your winnings!
Budget bill has no funding for border wall.
Somehow, I just dont see this ending well Jay…..
I don’t get it, the largest part of Trumps platform was building the wall. It’s a winning argument, WTF is there to be afraid of GOP???? Your constituents support this.
>>I prefer their 400 ct. because they aren’t as heavy, they’re super soft, and made in India. Made in China sucks.
Well of course. The ones from China are made by some slitty eyed yellow bastard. The ones from India are made by my cousin, Jugdish.
Heh, Mike Rowe took a picture with Bill Whittle at LAX, and he’s a fan.
Too bad about that career, Mike. Shouldn’t have said you like Whittle. They’ll be out to get you now.
People haven’t heard of Bill Whittle. Huh.
Don’t we have the house, senate and presidency??? WTF are we arguing over this? We won you lost, eff off.
Jugdish does a good job, Tushar. You brown folks do cotton sheets very well. Seriously no comparison. Silky soft. If it doesn’t say, ‘Made in India’, I won’t buy it.
Btw, I thought I saw some program …was it PBS?..can’t remember…where China was undercutting India’s cotton. Lots of people in India growing cotton and losing their livelihoods because of the cheating yellow bastids.
mare, go tweet that to Trump. Tell him to tell Ryan to find his balls and GFH.
I don’t see why Trump is putting off the wall until the fall. Okay, don’t put it in this budget. Do a stand alone wall bill the week after.
Okay, I’ve been putting off ‘painting’, long enough. Better go get another room done. Meh.
Beasn, my family once had more than 5000 acres of cotton farms. In sixties, our asshole govt decided to do some redistribution, and took away all but 90 acres. Anyone who had a decent chunk of land lost it. We went from well off to nearly impoverished almost overnight.
Now you know where my love for big govt comes from.
They are worried about the moderates. Republicans can’t shut down the government, but the Dems can. without reprisal.
Didn’t Republicans take over the senate after shutting down the government?
We should probably kill them all….
The insanity of this world is driving me crazy…
I think George Soros is responsible.
He gives a lot of money to Paul Ryan.
The ” shutdown will ruin our side” argument is bullshit and Scott’s exactly proves that.
Leon what’s the vinegar for?
Killing plants, Jam. In case the fire didn’t do the trick.
Moderates can kiss my ass.
Good afternoon! Whose turn is it to kiss Mare’s ass?
*raises hand*
So, the migrants to live streamed a rape in US were let off with very minor punishment.
If this had happened in India, those bastards would have been permanently crippled by the public.
Did US spray some kind of demasculating agent over Europe as part of Marshall plan?

All the men with chests died in the trenches. Those who remain are descended from survivors and draft dodgers.
Is that an actual side effect of mechanized war, as opposed to hand-to-hand combat? More of the best men die?
By ‘best’ I mean, hardier, stronger, more resilient.
It is horrible the destruction Hitler has wrought. He basically softened Europe up for the current invasion. These people are so emasculated, they don’t even want to contemplate the fact that they are under siege.
US was fortunate to come out relatively unscathed.
Mostly a theory on my part. War kills the bravest men on both sides, but one more than the other. In the days when women and land were taken as spoils, the brave winners would have spoils of war and had many children, and the brave losers none. In WW1 and WW2, the brave winners… went home, mostly broke or middle class, and had ~2 children in Europe – because their culture was already rejecting big families – but a lot more in America, aka the Boomers.
Two world wars, the holocaust, and communism left Europe psychologically broken. They spent fifty years destroying any cultural pride, masculine ideals, or social cohesion in a vain attempt to ensure “never again”.
I dont know how that determination could be made. Wouldnt it mean “knowing” who the good and the bad guys were prior to the hostilities? One would think that the “good” guys would have a greater life expectancy because they were good at warfare. Most of the professionals that I knew weren’t at all worried about the proverbial “bullet with your name on it” but they were all very much worried about the one that said “to whom it may concern”. Speaks to the randomness of war.
Makes sense, Troy.
My contention is that the brave men willing to take risks… took them. Many died doing so. In a modern war of nation-states, taking risks and surviving didn’t amount to much in terms of Darwinian fitness, and taking risks and dying meant equated to no such fitness. A semi-mechanized trench war meant lots of opportunities to die for your side in acts of bravery.
In most prior ages, bravery in a battle you lived through had a lot of upside to balance the likelihood of death. WW1 and WW2 marked the first really “modern” wars, where winning wasn’t all that different from losing, as far as your genome was concerned. Unless you were an American GI who came home to an amazing factory job (because all the other factories were bombed and outsourcing to Mexico wasn’t a thing) and had 7 kids.
Is that an actual side effect of mechanized war, as opposed to hand-to-hand combat? More of the best men die?
Seemed to align with what I saw of German men. Don’t forget that armies tended to select the fittest, smartest cohort to serve, so what was left behind tended to be the dregs of society.
He who fights with Excel functions should look to it that he himself does not become an Excel function. And if you gaze long into a binomial option tree, the binomial option tree also gazes into you.

Duck:…’sup?
I love that duck gif. If I were the one filming that, I’d be laughing my ass off.
The Connecticut Brisket Research Center has been dormant too long. It’s time for a new project. Duck? I’d love to find out how the Chinese do it.
>>Duck? I’d love to find out how the Chinese do it.
You have to do it vely calefurry.
You cannot do it.
You rack disciprine.
*adds up the day’s total Ethnocentric Insensitivity Points*
OK Tushar, you’re on the top of the leader board. Pace yourself. Don’t get a tongue-cramp trying to do a bad Chinese accent with a good Indian accent.
Jesus, America is so full of furriners that even the racial insensitivity is starting to get fucking meta.
Wife and I speak engrish when we are making Chinese takeout orders.
“Yoo wan poak fry lice?”
“Ya, n I I wanna ehroll, n genrul sew chicken”
Shouldn’t have used ‘furriner’…what’s a better word? New Americans? Recent arrivals? I don’t like the word ‘immigrant’ anymore. I used to, because that’s what my parents were. But now I just assume the term means illegals.
Beasn, my family once had more than 5000 acres of cotton farms. In sixties, our asshole govt decided to do some redistribution, and took away all but 90 acres.
The fu? That pisses me off. F*ckers.
>>Jesus, America is so full of furriners that even the racial insensitivity is starting to get fucking meta.
Ha ha! In the simpler times of yore, racism was straightforward. Blacks and whites hated each other. Now even racism has been affected by diversity.
To be sure, I have no hatred for any race. I reserve all my hatred for the fanatic adherents of the religion of peace.
I had to make a spreadsheet with a “racial animosity matrix”. 0= no animosity between x and y, 1= utter hatred between x and y.
Evening Hostages.
Shit. I got old. Just a minute ago I was 19, in college, making bad decisions. Now? Now today we celebrated the Eldest Drunken Midget’s 10th birthday.
Yo, BCock!

And how is the shoulder doing?
Back to doing 200lb overhead presses already?
To be sure, I have no hatred for any race. I reserve all my hatred for the fanatic adherents of the religion of peace.

And how is the shoulder doing?
Back to doing 200lb overhead presses already?
Thank you sir! I told her early, “Hey sweetie, a bunch of grown ups that you don’t know from the internet wish you a happy birthday.” “Uhhhhh…ok? Thanks?”
And don’t I wish. The shoulder is…..not proceeding at a reasonable pace. The money potential reasons why aren’t worth going through. Just, it’s taking much longer than anticipated to recover.

There are gun shows. There are bridal shows. How come there are no gun and bridal shows?
Would be perfect for shotgun weddings.
May you heal soon, BCoch.
And 200 lb overhead presses are overrated. Don’t bother about them.
Also, whoever invented Mobic (anti-inflammatory) has my undying gratitude and a free bottle of single-malt scotch if I ever meet them. Though you shouldn’t drink booze if you’re taking it.
They put me on Celebrex for 7 days after the shoulder surgery.
HEY GUESS WHAT??? We finally found a medication I’m allergic to!
Going to pick up Mr. B. at the airport in an hour. He’s been at a user group meeting in CA all week. He has made it his job to be the chauffeur and guide to his coworkers flown in from India. Making sure they’re fed. Giving them tips on schmoozing with customers.
He has been sending me selfies of himself and these guys all week. Dinner at a beach….in front of sequoias. Pretty funny.
Allergic to Celebrex…that sucks! (Thought that stuff got banned years ago, oh well…)
Sorry for being a stranger Hostages. Life in limbo and all that. Just trying not to get banned at the HQ right now…
Leon – have you looked into oxalic or citric acid ? They’re available in a powder or crystal form and may be a convenient alternative. You can also buy glacial acetic acid and qs to taste …
BC, why would you get banned? And depending on how you get banned, well, some of us can undo that…
If this keeps up get tested for lyme disease.
Beasn, Mr. RFH used to go to that meeting, too. He goes to Ft. Campbell and Corpus Christi now.
More a question of the news tempting me to say things known to be banworthy for good cause. Best way to avoid is just to lay lower than usual I guess.
Hint: Members of Congress receiving Willy Pete enemas would be involved.
*snort*
I haven’t, Jam. I’ve only heard of acetic acid being used in this way. I’ll look into the others in the morning. Citric ought to be safe if it gets to the ground water, but I don’t know at what concentration it becomes caustic.
https://is.gd/oBAJtG
Nice bounce.
Safe Travels Wiser!!!!!
If you need bail money, let me know…
Acetic acid is the acid in vinegar-
Citric is obvious –
Oxalic is / was originally plant derived
So unless I miss my guesstimate of your willingness to burn cash – you won’t be able to contaminate your ground water
We usecitric acid to passivate stainless steel for biotech usage
I think citric acid is used to etch concrete before sealing or staining.
Hey listen, Bill Nye, none of that science gobbledygook around here.
Citric can be used, but I think that hydrochloric and phosphoric acids are most commonly used in that process.
NERDS!!!!! Ogre’d/
Good evening!
How about some glen to drift you off to sleep:

Good guys won tonight. ⚾️🇺🇸. Reds got swept by the Brewers today, but at least the Red Sox lost.
Did Thames hit 5 more homeruns?
Phat, if you have Netflix, watch “The Wrecking Crew”. Documentary about the session musicians in the 1950’s and 60’s. Glen Campbell started out as a session musician. Guys like Tommy Tedesco and Hal Blaine were on thousands of recordings with very little credit.
Watching some Jason Isbell whilst waiting for the girl:
Roadie, I hear this song and always think of you:
Bcoch, that was last night! 😜 Found out that my nephew was working out with Thames in the off season and my bro put him on his fantasy team based on Blake’s rec.
Roamie, does mini me have a college choice ?
I see Tushar, Dave, and me on a windswept train station.
Desperadoes waiting for a train.
Phat, how is your bro?
Oso,
Not real good but not real bad.
He does therapy twice a week. One in water and one on land.
He’s confident he will walk next year. I don’t see it happening, but he is a tough little bastard.
I’ll put money on him walking next year! Keeping the faith. Fighting the good fight. Get him a service dog just in case
Get him an Amigo.
Funny Story for Oso:
I get done with my flight and am going down the escalator in O’Hare with a couple of FA’s.
A guy is walking up to the escalator with a long-haird dachshund.
The dog jumps on the escalator like he does it all the time!
The FA looks over to me and says, ‘ that dog is a seasoned traveler!’
Doxies are always chill. Have no fear. Escalator? I got this! Badger dog!!! (MaryAnn is afraid of snowmen and trash bags)
Trash bags are scary AF.
I just had a geriatric 135# Great Dane sneak up on me and scare the shit out of me.
Great Danes are scary. I have stories.
Just logged onto my school email account and found an email from my professor, “If you get this before 2pm, can you call me?” WTF? Now I’m worried.
