Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
This has been the HHD wake-up song before, but it’s been a while.
Let’s see who is in the HHD fodder folder for today.
This one came from a funny article about a sister teasing her modelling brother.
Cute, but the nephew is cuter.
Fake redhead for Carin.
Weird shirt.
Last but not least.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

sorry about your friend jimbro

i wonder what a breeding pair of those farquaars cost
Gross. These guys really make me want to smash the matriarchy.
I’m intimidated by the unrealistic beauty standards being set here.
Oh wait, no I’m not.
Meishans might be an option after the breed is more established, assuming I find a breeder nearby. I have no interest in trying to maintain a breeding herd, just buying feeder pigs in spring and keeping them until autumn.
Sorry, Jimbro, and for the family, too.
if you decide to keep a breeding pair i’ll split the cost with you
theyre about an 8.5 hour trip from detroit
wakey wakey.
Well done Roamy.
i’m intimidated by the objectification
Breeding them changes the economics completely, not the least of which is keeping them alive through MI winters. I’d consider it, but it’s way further in the future than keeping them at all.
I leave the blog for a week and Leon is pig farming? WTF, dude.
We talked about this. Weed is the crop of the future.
Seriously, MJ. We can’t be trusted alone.
I need more coffee, but 1) moose isn’t feeling well and 2) he’s got his head on my foot.
He needs me more than I need coffee.
Heh: https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2017/11/07/keith-olbermann-doubles-down-on-trumps-fish-food-scandal-insults-japans-prime-minister/?utm_campaign=twitchywidget
I can’t eat weed or make bacon with it.
No, I can’t, don’t send recipes.
Pig farming will be one of my many enterprises, each of which will be a separate LLC, all leasing land from Pferdscheisse Farms LLC. Sue the pig farming operation, and all you can get is the pigs we haven’t sold yet. Ditto for honey, etc.
So basically this is a big tax break thing for you.
I like your style. Not your actual style, cuz cargo, but you get my drift.
If I ever farm weed, it will be a season-extended crop inside a poly tunnel, likely just in spring and autumn. I wouldn’t risk growing it outside, and honestly, the hassle involved legally probably isn’t worth it.
MJ, if it goes right, I’ll spend an average of 10-15 hours a week farming and not have to buy food and the excess will pay my mortgage and property taxes. The structuring is to ensure all “my” assets are protected from liability.

I’ll spend an average of 10-15 hours a week farming
When I was a teen we had maybe 1/16th acre garden, 1 horse 1 pony 1 barn 1 shed 1 pond and 1 me. I spent @7 hours a week in the dead of winter just on horsey water, hay and grain. Just keeping things mowed and the fence working was more than 15 hours a week 9 months out of the year.
Of course I’m not a scientist and I had to walk a mile uphill both ways barefoot but yeah, you and the missus better keep trying for additional farm hands.
Pig Solutions LLC
Done.
I’m going to keep the “lawn” to less than an acre. The rest will be mowed by animals. I spend about 20 minutes a day on the horses and chickens now. Winter water takes some extra planning, but doesn’t add a lot.
Plants, IME, are way more labor-intensive than animals have been.
You’ll need some illegals to work the farm of course
Your pigs are going to kill you, move into the house, and learn to walk.

If my soaps are right, cocaine processing is done by rooms full of hot senoritas in their underwear.

Growing coca leaves might be tough without a hothouse
Why do you think the weed is for off season?
Moose was sorta low energy yesterday, but last night he was really playful. Today he’s thrown up a few times and is sleeping on my feet.
He did move so he could be on my feet (from the front door) so that’s a good sign.

Bannon knows stuff. I’ve been hearing a lot about China’s cryptocurrency investments. Plus, they don’t have any cultural drag from raaaaaaacism or SJWs.
I just wasted a half an hour watching a few of those election night meltdowns. They are so funny.
I’ve been putting on the election night news coverage while at work. It’s glorious to listen to them slowly, horrifyingly, realize that Trump will pull it off.

Meh, I don’t believe China is anywhere close to taking over as the dominant power. That said, US Politics is often shaped in service of economic goals, whereas in China it’s the reverse: economic policies are often shaped in service of political goals.
link?
My link up there has a ton.
I think the only thing we have going for us re: China is their demographic bomb from the one-child policy. That and their culture isn’t one that fosters innovation well.
Virginia elected a tranny to the house of delegates yesterday.
I’m sorry, General Lee, but the land you fought for and then fought so hard to heal after the war is now lost.
The real tax dodge on the farm would be figuring out how to sell and buy in bitcoin for the inputs/outputs.
Off to the airport in a little while. Knife show in New York, then an actual vacation in Ireland. First vacation in 20+ years, so I’ll probably get caught up in a natural disaster or a terrorist incident.
Penelope booked the flight. Guess who got TSA pre-check and who didn’t….
Awesome. Enjoy Ireland!

You know what would be kinda cool? If a minority or lefty favored group representative wasn’t solely an advocate for whatever box they check.
It’s boring to hear black politicians only talk about black stuff. Gays only talk about how everything is a gay issue. You know exactly what Raul Grajarva or whatever is going to say about immigration before he ever speaks. I’m fairly sure we know where Maxine Waters stands on NFL protests and the criminal justice system.
Grow up, already.
If you see any Fitzpatricks, say hi for me.
Sick dog still sick. He doesn’t seem to have any points of pain (lets me touch everywhere). I noticed he didn’t want his dinner last night, but he would eat treats (he did seem kinda lazy though all day). He took a treat from pat this morning … but I woke up to him throwing up. A few little piles – not much. He’s not interested in food or water right now, but he’s not crying or anything.
I looked up “bloat” and he dosn’t have any of those symptoms.
I need to just relax, but I’m rather pre-occupied with him being sick. ugh. I keep drifting back to check on him.
Enjoy Ireland Pepe. Lots of good memories of my trips there.
If you stop in Blarney have a pint at the Muskerry Arms. We’re somehow related to the owners there. I don’t remember how but no one really cares. I do remember they had a fountain with a cherubic kid fake peeing into it in the lobby.
Have fun in Ireland. I fly to Germany on Friday, and then five days in Spain in a week.
I used to think the news anchors asked dumb questions so the audience would have an easy explanation. But you can tell that’s not the case. They really don’t know what’s happening.
It goes something like this:
Brian Williams: So what you are saying is that Hillary is going to win Florida because there are still votes to count? She’s going to win?
Map Guy: Well, what I’m saying is that there are about 200,000 votes outstanding and its more than likely that Trump will hold on because he’s up and they’re splitting the 200,000.
Brian Williams: So its a tie. We might have a repeat of that one election that was really close? You know the one. I ate a pickle with Katie Couric and it was funny because I don’t like pickles.
Map Guy: ….Its possible, but if Trump is up and they split the votes, he would hold on to win Florida.
Brian Williams: So a tie! And pickles! Ha. I don’t even like pickles but I ate one with Katie Couric when that thing happened a long time ago. Am I going to be eating another pickle, Map Guy?
Map Guy: ….Again, its possible but I really doubt that Hillary can win Florida.
Brian Williams: You just said it was tied! What changed so fast? Help us make sense of this new information?
Map Guy: Trump is going to win.
Brian Williams: So I’m not going to be eating a pickle? Boy, this race is a real barn burner! So many things happening so fast. I think it was a crunchy dill pickle, which is funny because I don’t even like pickles!
I believe Brian Williams enjoys pickles far more than he’s letting on with Map Guy
MJ, that Brian Williams bring a dumbass deal was good!
“Get your abortions now. Because we are fucked. ”
I still can’t believe she said that.
Again, I used to think they were wrong… the so called elites and media people. They’re just dumb.
I read somewhere that a journalist said after Trump won that he was afraid his marriage would be reversed because he was gay.
WTF, over?
How is that even a thing? And Trump is the only, and I repeat, only pro gay marriage President. He’s made this abundantly clear, yet here we are, gay drama queens are worried. Fuck them. They’re willfully dumb about everything they ‘know.’
Betsy DeVos is a cunt and Trump is misogynist.
How do you even square that circle?
The Left, even the professional Left, believes nothing of what they say. It’s just a virtue signaling circle jerk.
I suspect the average American journalist has a sub-100 IQ, can’t do trigonometry, and has no idea what it’s for.
“Get your abortions now. Because we are fucked. ”

——————————–
I have heard variations of this. GNDs dad was super pissed we were moving to Indiana because that cock sucker Pence is going to ban abortions.
First, if you’re a father, please don’t talk about abortions with your daughter, especially in the context that she might need one. It’s so weird I can’t even.
Second, that’s not how it works. Its not a thing. Pence can’t just do that. Jeez.
they literally know nothing. That’s why instead of debating/discussion they unfriend you on facebook, or refuse to discuss the issue IRL.
“I don’t want to talk about it”..
Yea, you know why? because you don’t know SHIT and have zero response.
So you’re saying a lack of trig knowledge is a SIN of stupid?

Agreed. But what’s also so disappointing is that they aren’t very curious. If Steven Colbert is so totally invested in defeating Trump you think he might actually try to understand how the election works. Instead, he sits there like a goober with a thumb up his butt, trying to work out how its all happening in real time. Dude is not bright.
I would have been really tempted to simply say “I’m good with that”.
Pence – looking out for GND’s dad’s grandchildren.
You should get that on a bumpersticker for him.
So you’re saying a lack of trig knowledge is a SIN of stupid?

Jay, you kill me. If I wasn’t busy touching these muppets inappropriately I’d give you a standing ovation.
I especially like the new Tom Steyer ads about impeachment.

She did and his head exploded. Then she told him to STFU because talking about a hypothetical abortion with your daughter is the worst idea since cargo shorts.
Colbert gets paid to be funny, not smart. He’s failing at both.
Johnny Carson was funny, and pretty non-political. Funny that no one else has figured that out.
I think there’s so much pressure to have an opinion. I’m not sure when it became fashionable to bullshit rather than admit to not knowing but I’m looking Obama’s direction. Dude was kind of the BS.
And in today’s “I’m Shocked!” news headline, Charlie Sheen has been accused of raping a 13 yr old Corey Haim.
At Twitchy.
So you’re saying a lack of trig knowledge is a SIN of stupid?
I’m mostly saying that if you can’t tell me the length of the hypotenuse when the other two sides are lengths 3 and 4, you have no business lecturing another living human being about economics or politics.
And if you insist that you need units to answer it, you should be publicly flogged.
Allow me to sum up my morning.
I’m disappointed in the Left. They suck these days. Its evident they don’t have a bench because the doofuses of the media/entertainment world are filling that role.
So you’re saying a lack of trig knowledge is a SIN of stupid?

Eh, I suck at Trig, and while I don’t often lecture, I do have a pretty good knowledge of politcs and economics.
I do know how to figure out the third side of a triangle, though.
MOOOSE FINALLY GOT UP AND WENT OUTSIDE.
Whew.
Took a good long pee (I was concerned about dehydration)
I figured his point was that you didn’t need to know Trig, but should at least know basic geometry.
I was told there would be no math. Pythagoras told me.
Hey, where did my comment go? Stupid phone.
More that people lacking basic mathematical ability shouldn’t be talking down to me from the teevee, and really, really shouldn’t win elections.
I’d be happy to replace debates with oral mental arithmetic tests. Unfortunately, the average viewer wouldn’t realize the value of them anymore than the average politician could pass them.
I like pi.
Pi is irrational.
I do know how to figure out the third side of a triangle, though.
With a ruler, or a piece of string, duh.
Then I like pie.
Punkin pie is the bestest.
Punkin pie is the bestest.
^this^ I would give this uptwinkles if I could.
But, I do make a pretty mean pecan pie, too.
Pecan pie is pretty good too. I believe hotspur is speaking of the hair or no hair variety. Cuz he’s a dirty ol man.
mmmmppphhh
Lena Dunham shoved pecans in her little sister’s punkin.
Will no one rid me of these meddlesome kids?
DH and Squeakhole.
I’m probably roasting pumpkin for a potluck on Sunday.
Them too.
Does Moose have the yellow urka gurkas?
Pepcid will fix that.
Feed him some cheese. Plugs em up at both ends.
No, he was throwing up stuff. No yellow slim.
This is funny: http://theyarewhattheyeat.blogspot.com/2009/07/four-types-of-dog-vomit.html
Hmm, for some reason no one is talking about the citizen that stopped the Texas church shooting, and his weapon of choice.
Wonder what caused that?
He seems ok now, he’s been up and about and looks bright eyed. Still not terribly hungry, but it was him not getting up that had me most worried.
Nor the fact that he is an NRA instructor. Or so I read.
I’ve been trapping a lot of mice in the house. Maybe he’s eating mice.
This is funny:
They should all end with:
Then he eats it.
I’m imagining HS in his coon-skin cap wandering about the house, like Alaska Bush man.
3 cheers for Iowa!

Let’s talk term limits, now.
I just finished up a packing project, over 2000 lbs of china and glass.
damn, that’s a lot of breakables.
And 3000 pounds of bubble wrap?
It took me a solid week.
87 boxes, 402 feet of bubble wrap,
My second largest, The Big One was 4 times bigger.
That one was cool. It was an old family mansion.
Several generations of crap. Every set of wedding china from every family member for hundreds of years.
Some of it was pre-America.
4 of us packed for over a week.
Is everyone screaming helplessly at the sky with our liberal brethren?
hehe, USA today posted some possible modifications to the AR-15 used in the Texas church shooting, including a chainsaw bayonet:
And an underbarrel 12 gauge shotgun and trigger crank
Twitter is a hoot today.
That USA Today stuff is comedy gold.
* refresh *
I think my favorite modification so far is the undermounted corgi.
More possible modifications:
https://twitter.com/GovMatt/status/928364066455900162
heh, loved the corgi!
I better send these modifications in to Sen. Grassley, so he can get them on the judicial committee review.
Corgi mod:
I would go out and buy an AR15 right now if there was a charcuterie dispenser modification available.

Time to tuck the pumpkins into the crawlspace.
A dumpster fire on wheels?
Not sure what the reference is to, but yeah – that’s an apt descriptor of my life.
Who wants to talk about workouts?
Wasn’t Tucking Pumpkins a famous band in the nineties?
Mini-me is trying to photoshop the trebuchet onto an AR-15.
I biked, ran, and went to crossfit today.
Squats, deadlifts, back extensions, hanging leg raises.
I chopped up a bunch of pine logs and then moved them to a fire pile. Stopped when I felt a blister break, about an hour of work.
No food today either, second fasting day of the week.
I worked.
Car in, what’s did they make you do in zumba? Thrusters? Double unders? Dirty sanchezes? Tijuana pile-drivers? The ol’ Number Six?
I made bacon and french toast.
Cuz the wife wanted it. Yeah she did.
I hate dirty sanchez day. Almost as bad as rusty trombone day.
Almost all of the fookin’ snow is gone!
It was raining like shit today…
Feeling any better, ChrisP?
Roamy,
No, and my shit(excuse me! fecal matter) floats.
That’s my ‘sign’…
(TMI)
Back from fundraiser for Fisher House in Ann Arbor. It’s fun to watch the libs contort themselves into supporting vets.
They really don’t want to do it.
ChrisP, I don’t know what that means, hopefully Lauraw or Jimbro knows. I am sorry you are not feeling better and hope the docs can help you.
The prosecution used a preemptive challenge to remove me from the jury.
Jimbro, just read about your friend. So sorry about that. We will keep his family in our family’s prayers 😢
