Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Hey, I remembered what day of the week it is. Yay me.
Let’s see who’s in the hunky folder for today.
Identified as Mario Lopez, not sure.
Adam Woodward
Danny Cipriani
Someone named Wilmer. Heh.
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Good morning. I’ve read the Daily Kos breakdown of how Trump is a Russian stooge and it all makes sense now.
It’s not far from CNN or MSNBC which is sort of mind blowing. The Left have lost their marbles.
What is the endgame? Do they really believe that we should execute the President’s son and impeach him? I’d like to hear that answer to that question.
After the 2018 midterms and Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House, will they move for impeachment, then impeach Pence, then whoever is appointed VP, then that person, then that person’s VP, then that person, then that person’s VP, then that person, then that person’s VP, then that person, then that person’s VP until the Republicans give up?
Mario Lopez, is gay, BTW. NTTAWT.
Wilmer is “Fes” from That 70s Show.
Did you ever watch That 70’s Show?
Do you remember when Fes had a psycho blonde girlfriend?
That was their plan for 8 years of Bush. Republican victories are always illegitimate, so removal by any means necessary is appropriate. That’s the narrative. And also how you get Trump.
Vaguely, MJ. Most of my memories of it center on Mila and the redhead.
Wakey wakey
We’re supposed to get some wicked weather today.
Mornin’ Hostages. Day two of self-imposed exile from the mothership. Rough, but it is what it is.
I don’t get it.
Butthurt about a gluten free diet is punishable by death around most corners of the internet.
I’m gonna try to offload some of my homemade booze when I come up to MI.
Anyone want some chocolate mint, mint, lavender, or cinnamon infused vodka?
I meant to make some blackberry-infused vodka, but their season is nearly over. Might still have time.
Our blackberries aren’t ready yet.
Getting a guy to make me a dining room table.
Kinda excited about this.
We’ve been eating blackberries and black raspberries for a couple of weeks now, but I think we’re in a different zone here.
Even if you go to town (Lapeer) they are a week or so ahead of us.
Release the Manafort!
When he shows up on TV this weekend, it’s going to be fun.
What kind of table?
At least for exile is still of imposed, Brother. I was told to go fuck myself recently.
At the HQ?
It’s a rougher crowd than I remember. I’m trying desperately to bring some funny when I post on Sunday nights but mostly failing. Meh, I’m going to keep trying until it breaks through because its silly and fun and my business plan is to create a non paid media empire on local Connecticut radio and an obscure smart military blog.
Doesn’t seem like some of the HQ wants funneh anymore. All serious all the time.
meh, MJ tells me to go fuck myself all the time. It loses its sting after a while.
leon, on the other hand…
I very rarely tell people to go fuck themselves. You’d know I meant it, and that would hurt, maybe. I honestly don’t have that much animus for anyone not named Clinton, 0bama, or Soros.
Yeah, there.
Ever since the Meatlocker left, the 2 cobs running the late show have been real drunk with power. They clean up their friends’ nasty posts, and ban anyone that has a differing view from their own.
Hey león, go fuck yourself!
And fuck hotspur too, for good measure!
So much hostility this morning.
So much hostility this morning.
That’s what your mom said.
Table:
https://www.michiganwoodworking.com/product-page/the-tennessee-1
You had a pretty nice table to begin with, IIRC.
It’s stupid on top of it all. I understand some folks have legit issues like that, but for the love of God it should be obvious (especially around the Horde) that is not what we are talking about when we blast virtue signaling gluten averse douchebags!
We blast the victimization-attention-whores in every other area, but when someone on our side does it we don’t even stop to think about it. It just pissed me off so much, especially when she fucking played the damn victim after trying to shut down someone else’s righteous ranting.
Oh well, I’m getting Cavilopolis up and running to fill the need a bit. (The old Stomper Shack blog is gone, though I still have the domain and use it for email. I had a renewal hiccup and it really didn’t suit me anymore anyway.)
Love it.
Nice table! Someday when I have my own joint again I may be looking for furniture. Not a dinner table though, I have a nice solid classic wooden one we’ve had since I was single digit in age. Managed to snag some furniture moving out before it all got given away…
I get sniffles when I eat too much wheat (along with getting really fat), so I generally avoid it, but that’s the result of experiment, not a virtue signal. I still have cookies at holidays, but that’s a sometimes thing.
I generally splurge on high quality for cheese, though, I’ve become a complete snob on cheese. No apologies. Raw aged cheddar for my taco bowls.
Yeah, that’s a handsome table. I especially like the breadboard ends.
Either a lot of people are BSing about food allergies to trend chase, or somehow the American population is suddenly averse to things which were staples of their ancestors for millennia.
Obviously I tend towards lighting the BS signal on this, though obviously I do feel for folks with legit issues. I’m just positive there aren’t as many as seem to be claimed these days.
And I concur on cheese, leon. Life’s too short to use crap cheese.
This shitstain is a disgrace.
NYC is a cesspool, and they get what they deserve.
I’m just positive there aren’t as many as seem to be claimed these days.
Of course there aren’t. Heck, I dated a gal for a short while who claimed to have celiac disease (as well as cancer and any other number of ailments).
She would order a whopper and tell the cashier “I’m allergic to onions” then snack on chips & salsa at work. Come dinnertime, would scarf down 3/4 of a pizza.
Most of the modern gluten allergy “sufferers” are just attention whores.
We’re eating the same foods, but wheat itself changed really dramatically in the late 70s. Borlaug fed the world with the invention of modern, dwarf wheat. It was an invention, not breeding or GMO or anything, he exposed wheat strains to gamma rays to induce mutations. The new wheat in crude analysis is superior in many ways. 7 harvests a year rather than 2, and something like 3x the protein. But it’s all gluten, a proline-containing protein (all other grains have analogues), all of which are minor gut irritants the plants use to keep animals from fully digesting seeds so they get shat out instead.
In short, wheat is the Incredible Hulk. Exposed to radiation, dramatically changed, and it might hurt you.
I’m going to have fun today. I’m going to head over to Ace’s and comment on old threads.
It’ll be a fucking blast.
That said, a lot of people are just bullshitting. “Gluten-free” processed foods are as bad if not worse than the regular ones most of the time. I did elimination experiments and determined that I have to avoid it but can tolerate a bit here and there without symptoms.
Wheat is a scam.
Oh, and she was kind of a big girl. Mostly because she ate primarily junk food every day, and didn’t exercise a lick. But told everyone that she had hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism = Every time her elbow bends her mouth opens.
Heh. Yeah. Either for nachos or a beer. Chick could damn near outdrink me, and I’m a drunk.
I’m oversized because I have Dontmovemyass disease.
I’m trying to do better, but lawdy, I’d just like to not get hit by some new crisis every six weeks first.
carin – nice table
“would scarf down 3/4 of a pizza.”
hmmm – i like pizza , i may have to have a slice for lunch
who’s changing the header pics?
the king of words one was funny
the kid pulling hotntot around in the wagon was good too
The current top pic is just a touch too risque to be a dad joke. Not sure how to categorize it.
I can’t eat wheat anymore. I ate it with no problem for 45+ years, then all of a sudden, it makes me blow up like a balloon. I’d love to be able to eat it, just for the convenience when traveling. Everything has wheat in it.
From Carin’s table ad:
“Forty two inches wide and thirty two inches tall. Incredibly sturdy, four inch by six inch thick beams hold this 200 lb monster firmy in place. ”
Are they talking about a table, or your mom?
hog ring pliers and rings showed up last night – this evening i’ll start fab’ing up some gabion baskets
Wow, both pepe and jam talking about your mom at the same time.
I just banked a check from the grain co-op for $8100 and change. It was for my share of the 6000 bushels of wheat my tenant cut last month. If it causes thousands of Americans to be able to shit through a screen door at 50 feet then I’m sorry.
I have no wheat problems, but onions stopped being nice to me when I hit 40. Which is incredibly sad, since onion rings were always one of my true pleasures in this horribly degraded world.
I occasionally still partake, but only if I can clear the time within 24 hours to deal with what happens as they bid me farewell.
Oh lawdy. FS starting in with the scolding at the HQ. (Reading, just not commenting there.)
Do all kinds of onions affect you? Scallions? What about garlic?
I couldn’t imagine not eating garlic and onions daily
I think we’re just going to buy bare land in Portage and then build something, move next year or 2019.
Garlic I’m fine with. And it’s a question of amounts, really, diced and chopped in moderation is fine, but a plate of onion rings causes distress later, and the onion appetizers offered by certain chain restaurants are Right Out. (Dear God, if I couldn’t tolerate garlic anymore it would be time to just pack it in…)
I mostly think of Rand Paul as a bit of a twatwaffle. Maybe because he’s the son of a total jackass, but this article is a deserving rebuke to the fucking RINOs who ran on repealing Obamacare.
You baby gravy guzzlers made promises. Control of congress is going back to the dems next year.
Way to go assholes.
Try that link again?
WTF
At least you don’t get the Fantastic Rolling Link like I got that one time.
Now try it.
LOL
Steve King grabs some pussy.
That fucking hyper partisan whore had it coming.
I may be FINALLY getting my iPad.
Ethan needs something to watch his videos for summer school, and the phone is too small/ our computer has limited bandwidth. I get an iPhone with it’s own data … done.
It’s only been how many years?
My long nightmare is finally coming to an end.
Damn. I haven’t had a bloomin’ onion in ages.
And now I’m craving an appetizer from a local rib joint, Frankie’s. They make an “onion loaf” – a meatloaf size chunk of deep fried vidalia.
Drizzled with their BBQ sauce it’s friggin’ manna.
All of you disappoint me except for car in.
My fellowship director would take us out to lunch a couple of times a month at a little restaurant a block away from the hospital. The only requirement was that I had to update him on our recent patients for a few minutes in order for him to claim it as a business lunch (yeah, he may have been bullshitting me…it was free lunch). He was the first person I ever heard say “No onions ma’am. I’m allergic to onions”. I had never heard of an onion allergy and just figured he just didn’t want to have onion breath for the afternoon.
Shut up, MJ.
I don’t think that’s warranted, HS.
Go fuck yourself, MJ.
I’ve heard every type of allergy claimed.
Went to dinner in SF with one of my ex-wife’s crazy friends and her husband. We took their tiny car from Berkeley back into the city and waited for about 45 minutes to get into a Vietnamese place. It was more upscale than a pho joint. The place was mobbed and the waiter was way too busy. Crazy lady had a garlic allergy and took forever to order. Every time the waiter came to the table she’d send him away to ask the chef if such and such an entree had garlic in it. 15 minutes later he’d come back. This process repeated itself a few times. After dinner we went back to their house and were subjected to a vacation slide show with new age music for the soundtrack. I was asleep before the airport slides were finished. The coup de grace was the BART ride back to the city with the nice homeless people.
Is that our Bart that you rode back?
We have somebody that has a “cardboard allergy”. We have to line the pizza box with foil.
We get kids with penicillin allergies all the time. Penicillin, cephalosporins and their derivatives are so ubiquitous for treatment of infections that the fake allergies because the parents are just nervous because Aunt Nellie had an allergy as a kid so maybe Susie has one too are really asking for trouble with the alternative and less effective meds
We have somebody that has a “cardboard allergy”.
Can’t have wine at my house, then!
i used to break out in hives after penicillin, so I’ve been allergic ever since.
I have a good friend with a legitimate allergy to onion. I’m talking a bit diced in the food and it’s off to the ER with the reaction level.
My only allergy developed 2 years ago after taking amoxicillin after my dentist extracted a cracked tooth. Happened on the morning of the last day of treatment. Pruritic rash. I’m itching just thinking about it now.
I don’t know that I’m allergic to melons and cucumbers but I do know that my digestive system doesn’t deal with them in an appropriate manner.
Curcubits make lots of people gassy. What about pumpkin and squash?
Nobody eats that.
You will eat my pumpkins soon, Scott. Soon…
I go in tonight for my last scheduled Keno shift. !!!! Yea.I said I would fill in, etc, but tonight is my last one actually on the schedule.
ANd I’m still sorta dreading it. I hate most of our regulars. Ugh. They are uninteresting. (I’ve known regulars who I really like — but usually it involves them 1) being nice and 2) good tippers).
The regulars here seem to think we have some sort of friendsship going, and they don’t want to sully it with something as base as a good tip.
I’m sure these regulars would feel awkward around gourmet sandwich menus
The regulars feel so special, that basically they order whatever they want. They make shit up. It’s super annoying.
One guy eats there so much, and usually has us make him something special. Personally, I think we should discourage assholes from frequenting .
You should make up specials and describe them with words they won’t understand.
They will go to the Mexican place.
Holy crap. That was David Brooks?
I thought David Brock wrote that nonsense.
I hope Carin has a shift one evening during the meatup. We can go hang out and amuse her, and throw french fries at the assholes sitting at the bar.
It was Allied Fencing that you recommended, right Hotspur?
Allah Fencing. They’re out of Dearborn.
I need a fence, not a bomb.
Did you need a sheep & goat fence?
wouldn’t it be more fun to take Car in along, and let her get annoying with the rest of us?
I think I’m going with a vinyl privacy fence if it’s in the budget. Just has to keep the dogs in, but it’s something like 120′ linear.
Have you seen those things up close, Leon?
They’re pretty (and pricey), but the ones I’ve installed are not exactly the strongest fences in the world. Rather flimsy IMO.
It’ll have to be solid board, then. I don’t want to see them anymore, and moving the wire and post fence would likely cost just as much.
Dead?
Well fine then, I’m just gonna sit here drinking my gin and ginger ale and writing code and listening to rock music and being infinitely cooler than all y’all.
Just picked a quart of blueberries for the neighbors and they’re not home.
Was it a quart… or a pint?
I’m sitting here writing code as well. Tea, no gin, since I’m at school waiting for class to start.
Quart. But now you’re making me think of getting stingy and putting half of them in a little pint deli container for them, and keeping the rest.
That was implicit in my comment, yes.
I’m not sure if my potato plants are sick or just ending their life cycle. I planted them in early May, so they might just be finishing out for the year.
One of my blueberry bushes is a joy to pick, and the other one is a pain in the ass. I have to learn if they can be vegetatively propagated.
Would love to have more of the first one. Big berries that fill the basket faster, and the color is more telling so it’s easy to see when totally ripe; you pick fewer sour berries by accident. The branches are long and straight and don’t make big side-branches, so it’s easy to go branch-by-branch and tell where you’ve been already.
I want three more of these. I’ll keep just one of the other, crappy bush that makes a zillion berries but has the opposite of all the other qualities I just mentioned.
Well Leon, they gave me dozens of wheelbarrow loads of woodchips this Spring. My garden is now this beautiful sponge that I don’t need to water at all, except for new seedbeds. They’re worth the other pint. And tomatoes, when they come along, too.
Well okay then.
Dang, missed it. I was supposed to cut the blueberry canes for propagating in early Spring, but forgot. Last semester of school was in full swing then and I was going nuts. Meh. Next year. I’ll put it in my garden journal right now.
Was it a quart… or a pint?
Why not a peck?
Anyone hear if David Brooks got kneed in the nads today?
Why not a pecker?
Oh – so the blog DIDN’T die. I thought everyone went somewhere else there for a while. Who’s making dinner? What are we having?
Your mom. Braunschweiger.
I had a cocktail for dinner, unlike Hotspur, who skipped the tail.
I made one post incognito at the HQ. But it was content-free.
Honestly, I’m not sure anyone’s noticed my absence, so it may just be for the best.
I heard that he WAS the tail.
LOL
Being missed at the HQ these days is about like being missed in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. There’s too many geniuses and shit over there.
Speaking of the HQ, re his article on Japan……if I were 35 years younger and single, I might consider moving there and teaching English or something. Evidently there are lots of youngish women there who are not getting their share of teh cock. Sounds like a great opportunity.
My niece has been in Japan for the last two semesters studying Japanese. She wants to be a translator at the UN, and has the connections (two uncles) to make it happen.
Not sure about her virginity. Never want to know.
Has anyone seen “Capote” with Phillip Seymore Hoffman? Is this t any good? I picked up a copy at the thrift dlstore for a buck on Monday. (I’m a fan of Hoffman’s work)
Movies are a scam.
The only movie I’ve ever seen with Hoffman in it was the one about killing Osama Bin Laden. He was fucking fantastic in that.
About a year later he was dead so I don’t have anything further to add to this discussion.
Fried clams with the bellies for dinner at Governor’s. Went for the onion rings and cole slaw. Skipped dessert and brought half my clams home for later.
The waitress was a cute girl. Tall, friendly, dark curly hair, big boned and absolutely covered with tattoos. Even with all the tats she remained cute. She’ll regret her youthful decisions.
For all you Michiganians (?), Kid Rock has launched a website for his run for US Senate. Seriously.
I liked his acting in this movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292963/
“Before the devil knows you’re dead”
Pendejo,
He stole the show from Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson’s War.
I think Kid Rock just wants the publicity to sell more American Badass Grills. He learned from Trump.
Grandpa Rock must not have polled well.
http://i3.cpcache.com/product/752004228/grandpas_rock_framed_tile.jpg?height=460&width=460&qv=90
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead is a great movie.
Lots of that chick from My Cousin Vinny. Naked.
He’s marketing grills now? Ha! The George Foreman of rednecks, I guess.
Grandpa Rock must not have polled well
But Grandma works the pole pretty darned good.
just got back from me uncle’s funeral – his buddy Don did the officiating thing – i was pleasantly surprised at how well he (don) did.
just cracked open a beer called Hop Something (heh) from a local brewery – it’s actually pretty good.
here’s the brewery – https://liquidalchemy.online/2015/01/04/galaxy/
i’m whooped – sleepy-time
tomorrow the gabion stone arrives and it’s all fun and games from there – might be tougher than carrying your mom over her flesh fold or rolling that special someone in flour…
Our senators are so bad I might campaign for him.
Pendejo,
He stole the show from Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson’s War.
That’s the one I was remembering.
And you’re right, he totally sold me in that movie.
Which is fuckin rare.
Somebody needs to commenton this shit.
I just started Capote, so I’ll mostly be lurking for a while.
I will say that Hoffman has range – he’s already a convincing Truman Capote. I read In Cold Blood 25 yrs ago. I had no idea that Harper Lee worked with him on it.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a fantastic actor.
Last bartending shift in the books.
Won’t miss it. I like some people, but overall – I dread my bar shifts. Work harder. Longer. Surrounded by alcoholics. Naw. I like serving at this place- I can hide in the kitchen from the tables I hate.
And I will request the entire weekend off for the meat.
We can GO to my place if you want. I’ll teach you all how to play keno.
Did Edwin retain possession?
