Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Coffee’s ready, help yourself.
Mark Steyn’s “song” of the week was a collection of songs about Florida, which led me to this one.
Hope everyone’s getting dried out.
Let’s see who is in the folder for today.
Gainesville Police Dept. Thank you to all the first responders dealing with hurricanes.
Redhead for Carin.
Old school.
Labeled Armie Hammer but I think it’s Ryan McPartlin.
Riccardo Scamarcio, just saw him in “Burnt”.
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

Another good comment from the Hillary book thread:
Trump: Not tired of winning yet.
Hillary: Not tired of whining yet.

wakey wakey
The comments on that facebook photo of the police officers is hilarious. They knew what they were doing.
Coffee’s Ready Girl seems nice
The All Lives Splatter picture?
Still no numbers for the closing tomorrow.
Possum decided that sleep wasn’t happening last night, so my morning routine is a little behind schedule. Time to go take the cold shower.
Naked Leon killed HHD.
Fitting.
Picture from the toughest obstacle on Saturday. I don’t really resemble Leon’s Monday motivation chicks in any way. This was the end of the sandbag carry, to the TOP of the Michigan international speedway stands. It was horrible, but I think you can see that on my face. Perhaps with some makeup, proper lighting, and booty shorts it could be improved?

sean – interesting derp.
never heard of that guy. pretty good tune
I sat a little lower in those bleachers once. Lot of stairs!
carin – some of my local friends went to that race
they did 120(?) burpees
one of the guys commented on the course being so flat
“I don’t really resemble Leon’s Monday motivation chicks in any way.”
so we can infer that you weren’t tucking your braunschweiger
I did 150 burpees. They said it was flatter than many of their other courses – which they made up for by making us do the stairs twice. Once with the sandbag and once w/o.
Why is the sandbag empty?
Did they send the sand to Florida or Texas?
The sandbag was NOT empty- the middle section was empty so you could throw it over your shoulder. It was heavy.
I looked it up : Sandbag weight is only 35 for women /45 for men (it seemed about 80 – lol but probably because we had to haul it up those bleachers). Herc hoist was 75 for women, 105 for men. Bucket carry was 60 for women (it was like a LONG freakin deadlift) , 80 for men. Atlas carry 75 lbs for women, 115 for men.
Sotto voce: I don’t know jbro. Looks empty to me
You two are welcome to join me at the Spartan next year.
This will be fun.
Do they allow open containers in the stadium?
You just need to load whatever it is you need in your camelback.
Love the Spartan pic.
Instead of doing Spartan run, can’t you carry around buckets of condiments, lunch meats, and bread. Yannow, for sandwiches?
*runs
So this is a masochist blog now?
Yes, next question.
One more picture – happier times – burpee count at this point of the race is at 60:

if i make a nice compliment about c ari n will it break this blog?
How much slower did Matt have to drop his pace to stay with you?
I see we’re not to “be nice to Car in” day yet.
LOL
Looks like Amazon deleted the one star reviews of Cankles McCuntface’s book.
How much slower did Matt have to drop his pace to stay with you?
We don’t talk about that.
Actually, he did about zero training, so him keeping to my pace was probably the only way he could finish. Around mile 7 he started complaining, and I told him at that point he *should* feel tired anyway.
Kid’s a natural athlete.
I just think of that as helping the handicapped, HS.
*adds J’ames and Hotspur to the Spartan Race email loop
6 hour Boston Butt in the oven and it smells so freakin good.
Not helping with my fast. ugh.
you have a smoker, and you put a butt in the oven? WTF?
Why do I do lots of things I do?
gotta use that smoker.
Then again, maybe not. If you’re trying to fast, delicious meats is not the way to go.
Turn on the broiler!
I filled, tied and moved (3 times) sandbags on Saturday.
mares a sandbagger
Jemele Hill looks like a none too bright, smug, skank.
Got to say, it was a real cross section of humanity at the sandbagging site and everyone was friendly, well behaved and working hard.
As we were driving away my husband said, “Look at that guy!” This guy was RIPPED. Black guy without an ounce of fat but really well muscled. He was carrying 2 full handbags in each hand. My only regret that day is not rolling down my window and telling him, “You look amazing and are my sandbagging hero!”
Why the hell not?
I’ve watched that show a time or two. She’s what I’d term “a lippy motherfucker”. Some guys seem to like having a lippy motherfucker around. I do for about 5 minutes and then I’m all about the STFU.
Functional fitness at it’s finest, Mare.
He wasn’t wearing a shirt (yeah) and had about a 31-32 inch waist at about 6’3″ and 220lbs.
hahahaha, I just asked my husband how tall he thought the guy was and he said, “HA! you still thinking about him?”

Amen, Carin.
We worked our asses off prepping, moving, rearranging and whatnot two separate households not counting helping a few neighbors. Like I said, I was at 10,000 steps at about 1:00pm for about 5 days. My husband really worked hard. He is a magnet for those who need help and he’d never think of saying no.
We dodged such a huge bullet.
Hotspur, have Linda and Jeff given a SITREP on their neighborhood yet?
LOL. Busted.
I want this safe space deal as a t-shirt
First three guys look like a lot of fun.
Last guy could be a G.I. Joe.
You know who is a real c8nt? Paul Ryan, that’s who.
Those not on facechimp, did y’all see this? Hillary’s State Dept. didn’t think embassies needed armed guards. They hired a small contractor to guard Benghazi, who never did that kind of work, who hired unarmed guards from another company. When shit started hitting the fan, they went back to the experienced American company and asked them to clean up their mess. Torres, of the American company was appalled at the security lapses. Time was against them and 12 days later, you know the rest of the story. Hillary’s State Dept. told them to keep their mouths shut.

I’ll bet mare clicks that.
They actually covered that in 13 Hours! That movie was good.
If socialism doesn’t work…
You are correct, Sir!
Hillary is a bigger cunt. Rush is talking about stuff she put in her book. That woman is an embarrassment.
Said something about a woman got upset her daughter didn’t vote for Hillary, so she took her to face Hillary and to apologize. Hillary talked about how she wanted to berate the girl instead of being appalled that mother publicly humiliated her daughter.
where are the w’s? Are they secretly rescuing cats in Florida?
my mom (SYWM) had her knee replaced today. Everything went great! She was the first operation of the day, and is awake, and talking baseball (SYWM).
Nice to post something positive once in a while.
I may need to read that book for the same reason I listen to NPR. I can just picture myself ranting out loud as I read it like I do in my truck when I listen to the smug dimwits on NPR.
I bet if I wait a few months it’ll be real cheap to purchase.
Great news Jay.
I see a dollar bin purchase in your future, jimbro!
Well done, Momma Jay!
Good link Beasness. Those guys kept their collective mouths shut for enough time to learn it didn’t pay off for them.
Yes. Hillary and obama’s bullshit cost them a lot of work as it looks like the blame was placed on their company, not the heads-up-their-ass government a-holes.
Why those bureaucrats still have jobs……maybe as more comes out, they’ll lose them. Not holding my breath. It’s all a complete travesty and just awful how corrupt pols are above the law.
That’s great about your mom, Jay. May her recovery be speedy and full of well-managed pain.
(because that knee replacement stuff hurts like hell)
I was jonesing for some Jelly Bellys yesterday. Went out to the mall and gots me some favorites….buttered popcorn, peach, pear, licorice, sizzling cinnamon, strawberry cheesecake, and Dr. Pepper. Put in a few beers which has a distant flavor of beer, maybe. I think the aftertaste is beer-like.
Jimbro – I see what you’re saying, but the book looks like it’s boring as fuck.
Hotspur, have Linda and Jeff given a SITREP on their neighborhood yet?
Home safe and sound. No damage to speak of in the neighborhood. They didn’t lose power. Now they just have t get the patio furniture out of the pool.
Great news, J’Ames. I’m sure your mom will be back on her knees in no time…….
Could. Not. Resist.
Saw another girl get into Not-boyfriend’s car. I can’t help but see.

If I thought for a second that she wrote the book, I’d steal it from the internet.
But considering she didn’t, who the fork cares?
Yea, MJ. I can only take a joke (reading “her” book) so far.
my mom (SYWM) had her knee replaced today. Everything went great!
Glad to hear that. Are they making her walk yet? In my experience, she’ll be mobile by tomorrow morning, and going to PT. Today’s modern medicine frickin’ amazes me.
Winter is coming. Get your fire-starting paper now…

It’s so obvious that none of these assholes write these books.
At lease Bill O’Reiley gives Martin Dugard some credit for doing all of the work.
Who are these dolts lining up for her book/autograph? Why? Is this “woman” really their role model?
I mean I guess I can see some of the lame stereotype dykes around here but who else?
Obama put the dagger in way back in 2008.
The likable enough comment. God that was awful…and true.
Mare,
There’s a clip at either WZ or Twitchy of someone that waited in line.
She asked “what happened to your 33,000 emails? What happened to Seth Rich? What happened to your health?” and more before being escorted away. Funny stuff.
Ok, found it:

“I mean I guess I can see some of the lame stereotype dykes around here”
does that mean jbro is a dyke?
Don’t dykes wear cargo shorts?
*slams cargo short drawer closed
The Breakers is a pretty cool tour if you are ever in RI.
I saw The Breakers open for the Cargo Short Drawers at the symposium in ’88.

I went with my sisters a while back. Pretty amazing house. Isn’t the entryway something like 50 x 50 x 50?
Yep. I would have loved to have seen the upper two floors, where the servants lived.
Next time your road tripping check on the Biltmore in Asheville. Its pretty amazing and you can do an upstairs/downstairs tour for $20.

Well, aren’t we high-brow tourists.
I may eat the entire pan of this. Wish me luck:

OMG – it’s very good.
Adjusted for inflation, Cornelius Vanderbilt was worth $2.1 billion when he died.
Bill Gates is worth $89 billion.
Still amazing that he was able to accomplish that in the 1800’s.
And it was just the cottage.
doesnt teh vanderbilt still live there -?
anderson cooper
I bet Vanderbilt’s house is so much nicer looking than Gates’ house.
That looks delicious, Car in. It’s got all the good stuff I can’t have.
I’m going to make this tomorrow with tomatoes from our garden.

“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
If these people hate America so much, why don’t they leave?
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
Somebody’s gonna get shot through their head. Fucks given will be negotiable.
Long day. Tired. But if I go to sleep now, I’ll be up at 3 am. Again. Ugh.
If these people hate America so much, why don’t they leave?
The notion of ‘love it or leave it’ was already derided and disposed of as preposterously provincial when I was a kid.
But it wasn’t actually addressed. The fact is, they believe they have the right to ‘hate it, and stay.’ Which is technically true, they do have that right. But they still can’t actually answer the first question forthrightly.
ok, g’night shmoopies
I just don’t understand the mindset of someone who thinks this is a racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, white-privilege-ruling horrible, horrible country, but we need to let more people into this supposed hellhole.
Same person screams at me about how stupid, cis-gendered, science-denying, and fucked-in-the-head I am, then asks for my money and my vote.
Prayers up for MCPO, skin cancer surgery scheduled for the 26th.
but we need to let more people into this supposed hellhole.
…and we’re overpopulated, and our carbon footprint is too big, and we’re encroaching on habitats, and…
But we need more immigration, yessirree.
OK. I finally found my reason to try Crossfit:
Don’t ever reuse paraffin.
