Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
First rock concert I ever went to was AC/DC. Rest in peace, Malcolm Young.
Rock ‘n roll and bagpipes, go figure.
Bagpipes led me to men in kilts.
Portrait.
Landscape.
A little younger.
A little older.
I think this one is my favorite.
Thank you for your attention, thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love, and y’all have a good day.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
nice bagpipes and figures roamy
not so sure about men in dresses tho
Jamie is NEVER wrong to link.
My work laptop is as sluggish as Joe Biden’s algebra. Time for some rebooting.
Making the left live by their own rules, Matt Lauer Edition
wakey wakey. Most exellent HHD poat Roamy. I don’t have to pick a favorite,do I?
Kilts were a thing for a while when I was in high school. Or middle school. I forget.
Couldn’t have happened to a better guy, Jimbro.
I’d like to see some of his past reporting on Trump’s pussy grabbing tape or Bill O’Reilly’s ouster from Fox.
lauer
HA!
it’d be awesome if congress started eating their own
a monkey can dream i suppose
ahrite – off to work
*grabs chatroom’s ass on the way out*
I really like the first lad’s get up. “Does this sporran make me look fat?”
“Nay laddie, just a wee bit chubby”
Secret Santa Reminder:
If you want in on this year’s gift exchange, email my name at the gmail thing with:
Your handle, your real name, your physical address, your phone number (optional in case anything goes wrong in shipping).
I’m in, Leon. Just being lazy about the email.
You have until next Monday at 8am.
HARD DEADLINE.
poor NBC is running out of people.
Your mom likes a hard deadline
If NBC fired a few more big names they could afford to do real newsgathering.
LOL
Matt Lauer…… you’re the next contestant on Sexual Harassment Guillotine. Couldn’t be happening to a nicer disingenuous condescending FUCK.
Lester Holt….. you’re on deck
^ heh
How are we going to enjoy the Olympics w/o him?
Goldstein had it right, today. Since the left is now eating their own, and the media is no longer a “safe space”, will some of them now start leaning right?
I still say no. Leftism is all they know.
We still have Bob “Pink Eye” Costas to feed us our Olympics news.
Savannah Guthrie is heartbroken for Matt. All these lefty assholes are showing their true selves.
Keep ’em coming.

There’s a wide-open niche to be filled by a new, genuine news agency.
If Andrew Breitbart were still with us, I think he’d be spearheading that, but the corp bearing his name… eh.
Closest thing I can think of is O’Keefe.
Bill Whittle is closer. But he’s more on the pop-culture side.
Bill doesn’t dig for stories, though, that’s more what I’m thinking of. Bill would be a great face and voice for something like what I’m talking about. Actual detective work, reporting, etc, is what’s missing from cable news, and it’s part of why no one trusts it. All we have now is biased narrative generation.
O’Keefe is damaged goods. The left have successfully smeared him with accusations of selective editing, and then there was the whole guilty plea in the Mary Landrieu office thing. His stuff does not carry any authenticity anymore.
He’s a criminal.
They did the same thing to Dinesh D’Souza.
I could see Ben Shapiro making a go of it, but he’s kind of a twerp. Ditch the stupid yarmulke gig.
They turned Milo into a pedophile apologizer, even though he’s the opposite. So he’s out.
I get that, but I meant the work O’Keefe has done. Anyone could do it, just takes a curious mind and a budget.
Then unfortunately a whole slew of folks who were doing a decent job went “Never-Trump”, so they’re out.
I think we’re kind of stuck with internet blogs.
I had high hopes for Michelle Malkin, but she fizzled. So has Dana Loesch after she turned into a stooge for the NRA.
And Ann Coulter, though I love her, has turned into a caricature of herself.
Crowder digs for stories.
Shapiro = Never Trump. Fights with Milo all the time.
I can’t take Crowder’s schtick. Very irritating. Maybe if he did the investigating, and someone else did the reporting.
Look how the MFM went after Limbaugh’s drug abuse, and O’Reilly’s sexual harassment claims. Beck turned out to be loony-toons. I still think Breitbart got whacked.
Who would want to step up to any of that treatment?
Good summary of the conservative talking heads. They’re all good in their own way but man, don’t they have quirks? Any quirkiness is going to be seized on by the left and magnified like they do always and therefore delegitimize any reporting they do. Unless you’re preaching to the choir which is already on board with the message the whole “Politics is downstream from culture” thing that Breitbart understood doesn’t happen. We’re talking about changing the opinions of people who worship Jimmy Kimmel, SNL, etc.
This is why you basically need a face like Whittle and a bunch of faceless newsgoblins to dig for you.
I used to enjoy watching Hannity and Colmes, but mostly to watch Colmes make a jackass of himself. Hannity is so hyperpartisan that it’s embarrassing.
I thought Jake Tapper was a breath of fresh air, but then he drank the Koolaid.
When I watch some of the campus events that feature conservative speakers, it’s encouraging because they’re hosted by young campus conservatives. The left is devouring itself by shutting down free speech, and as they do so, I think more young people will see conservatism as the option.
As time goes by, some of these young people will step up to the plate.
I have high hopes for Gen Z.
Ha! Matt Lauer. If you remember right, I called this less than a week ago. Hey Roker, you better not have anything else in your closet besides soiled underwear…
Sean Hannity was tolerable when he was across the table with Alan Colmes. He’s on the radio here after a Boston talking head and it’s unlistenable.
THE HANNITY EXPRESS … barf
Jimbro, you’re a great american.
Lots of people discount him, and the media ignores him, but Rush still hits a lot of people and topics.
Hahahaha
My fear is that this ends in all tv personalities will eventually be harridans and fat gay men.
My hope is that it ends in nothing but happily married and chaste people on TV.
The irony of what the left is doing, is that they really want to take Trump down, and take down Moore, but they’re forced to take some of their own down hoping to get what they really want.
But Trump isn’t going down. He just pours it back to them, and Moore is holding steady in the polls, so that isn’t working either.
It must be very frustrating.
I’m just hoping to come online some morning soon and see that some women have come forward accusing Mueller.
ZOMG
Noone is going to watch harridans.
Lauer was probably kicked out more because he was too expensive to keep on. They retired his ass and most likely any harassment charges null/voided any extra monies they would have had to give him otherwise.
So, my MRI was canceled because insurance won’t pay for it before getting a regular xray and some phys. therapy.
Could x-rays pick up tears in tendons? I thought they were just good with bones. And if I don’t go to all phys. therapy (that shit is expensive and I should have majored in it), will they not approve a MRI?
It’s all a scam. Fuckers.
On the bright side, my blood work was all good except for being insufficient in Vit. D.
Mr. B. says I’m deficient in Vit. ‘B’ and need an injection.
So, you need more D?
Every woman needs vitamin “the D”.
SYWM
I really like the first lad’s get up. “Does this sporran make me look fat?”
“Nay laddie, just a wee bit chubby”
Jamie, SHOW ME YOUR CHUBBY!!
By the time an x-ray showed anything abnormal in the glenohumeral joint you’d have pretty advanced arthritis. And before doing a total shoulder arthroplasty the surgeon would order an MRI to see how much of the cuff was intact as part of their pre-op planning.
The whole “x-ray before MRI” thing is in the hopes that the relatively low cost study will save the more expensive MRI from being needed. Ditto on the PT.
With all these accusations, please keep this in mind, no matter who it is:
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/11/28/tucker-carlson-not-every-accuser-tells-truth-should-know.html
also an example of What Happens if it’s a Republican (in regards to Barton). I had no idea about the particulars of this case.
My elderly LIV in-laws think a lot of the accusations coming out of Hollywood are bullshit. Yeah, there are pigs making the moves on the young women…but the young women are putting up with it or putting out to get ahead.
But the girls need the power to feel they can speak out! They haven’t been able to!
In Weinstein’s case that was probably true, since all his buddies were covering everything up.
Evidently if you have to call DTE Energy about your bill, you have to be fluent in ebonics.
I had a MRI done 8 years ago, for the same problem, without any prior x-ray or phys. therapy. Got some arthritic changes going on. Since there were no tears, I sucked it up and didn’t do any cortisone or phys. therapy*. By not doing so, I figured it evened out the costs.
(my FIL went to physical therapy for several months. Holy shit was that pricey.)
Saw this on facedouche and I lol’ed:
“When bitcoin crashes, thousands of investors are going to jump out of basement windows”
-Zack Stein
Jay, they could have spoken out and then walked away from Perv Central.
Bitcoin is a scam. Hooch-backed currency is the future.
I think a lot of the young, female Hollywood “stars” made a deal with the devil. Jennifer Lawrence comes to mind. There are lots of pics of her with Weistein and she’s all over him. Oh, look an Oscar!
I don’t hold actors in high regard. As far as I’m concerned they are all whores. I don’t give two shits if they were harassed-they could do some other work. And stop being examples for our kids about how incredibly cool it is to be skanky.
The ONLY ones I feel badly for are the real young ones like Corey Feldman. He got the shaft IYKWIMAITTYD.
Holy shit, my day is made, Garrison Keilor fired for improper behavior.
Garrison Keillor GONE
That’s really just my sporran…not my CHUBBY !!!
Heh, wiser just used the Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 PROFIT! on the air.
That sanctimonious sack of crap…and he actually looks like one too.
A Preyer Home Companion?
Lake Blowbegone
Lake Whoa! Be Gone.
Lake Ho be gone.
Where are the kids are above average…bra size.
I hear Keillor is “above average”
Refresh
Today, I think a lot of people are going to have to see their doctor for those erections lasting more than four hours.
Operator: Hotline.
Andy: Hi, yes, I’m calling because it’s more than four hours and your ad said to call if it’s been more than four hours.
Operator: How much of the medicine have you taken, sir?
Andy: I haven’t taken any, but your ad said that if you’ve had an erection for more than four hours, you call.
Operator: You’re only supposed to call if you’ve taken the medicine.
Andy: Okay. I’m sorry. I must not have heard that part.
Operator: Yes. If you haven’t taken the medicine, you don’t call.
FFS
I want all these media types to die at Christmas dinner.
Iowahawk has a point:
First Charlie Rose, then Matt Lauer. Good thing George Stephanopoulos has experience in dealing with bimbo eruptions
Holy shit, my day is made, Garrison Keilor fired for improper behavior.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Gee, I wonder if NPR will keep running his “Literary Moment”…
No, they cancelled his contracts.
Reruns of A Prairie Home Companion – canceled.
Writer’s Almanac – canceled
Pretty Good Goods catalog – stripped of his products
I was a faithful follower of PHC back in the 80s and 90s, but when the 2000s hit, Keillor had a pretty severe case of BDS. I tuned him out. The new guy is unlistenable.
Sounds like some people forgot what their Mama told them when they were little: “Keep your hands to yourself!”
My mom told me don’t get caught.
Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, and Garrison Keillor walk into a bar. Because what else have they got to do?

Pervs gonna perv.
Speaking of pervs, where the hell is MJ?
Maybe we should identify the liberals that haven’t harassed some bitches.
It might be easier.
Pretty sure Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow are safe.
OR ARE THEY????
Oh for fucks sake.
Your mom told me not to keep my hands to myself.
Ben Shapiro’s point is good – the “defense” here is to take this out of politics (despite it being mostly liberals being busted) but that it’s the broader culture of MEN.
Because – you know, every man is a potential rapist/etc.
Except for the cute ones- YOU can be aggressive/forward while I act coy.
I think we need a rulebook.
Or at least a scorecard!
When I was a pudgetard, my flirting was creepy.
I lost 50# and lifted heavy enough to build some real muscle, and women made excuses to hug me and touch my arms.
It’s almost like women treat men differently based on appearance.
If you’re my boss and I’m a lowly employee, you shouldn’t pressure me to date because that would be wrong. Or if they is a huge power disparity. Because no woman wants that.
See- “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, “27 Dresses”, “Maid in Manhattan”, “Bridget Jone’s Diary” and all the other movies with similar themes…
Pretty Woman
Never heard of Keillor but if you guys are getting chubbies over it, I will too.
I had a boss once ask me over for a pool party because him and his wife ‘swing’. I was 18 or 19.
See also: odds of getting a sexual assault claim climbs exponentially with financial security.
Speaking of Trump, he just landed in St. Louis.
Ooo, the son’s Apollo V Lego set just arrived too. Box is big. 1900pcs.
Keillor does this stupid radio show for NPR. Very folksy.
Apparently no one is even allowed to CALL my uncle when the show is on.
He’s a raging liberal. both my uncle and Keillor
I don’t ever listen to NPR. The husband does, so maybe he knows the guy.
Keillor’s show is over. He quit about a year ago. The show is still on, but he isn’t on it. He’s an asshole.
Is your uncle handsy too?
They are just more receptive to victims. Republicans aren’t. Suck it, winger!
Wait a minute! *Thinks about the strange looks Uncle “Feely” used to get at family reunions*
And to think I thought it was because he was so emotional!
I had a boss once ask me over for a pool party because him and his wife ‘swing’.
Like, from a rope, over water? Sounds like fun!
MeAgain Kelly speaks out about Lauer and her coworkers
Gotta go see if I can get an x-ray. What exactly is Lauer accused of doing?
I’ll check your answers later.

Welp, I resigned from my new job just ten weeks in. It was not a good fit. The search continues. Fairly heartbroken, but there’s nothing to be done about it. I tried to make it work. Except for when I was actually caring for patients, I was utterly miserable every single day.
Seasoned nurses told me that the place was crazy and they couldn’t imagine trying to be there as a new grad nurse.
Fack.
Better range, too, and I built it for less than $400.
So sorry to hear it, Laura. Hope the hunt goes well.
Dang it, Lauraw. Sorry it didn’t work out. What kind of situation are you hoping to find? Certain rounds? Work hours?
I don’t know. Just sanity. I have to stop crying and get my feet back under me before I can think about it.
Nursing can suck. Not the actual nursing part but all the bullshit that goes along with it. After Paula works it’s at least an hour of ranting about the shift, lazy cow orkers, manipulative patients, clueless docs and unrealistic charting requirements.
Sigh…
She’s hoping for a change down the pike as well.
Sounds like programming…
Sorry to hear about the jerb, laura
Laura, my sympathy. I may be in the same boat. I have a trip to Virginia next week, and when I return I need to decide if I want to stay or go. If I leave in December, I can sign up for classes and live off the GI bill and a part time job until I find something else, most likely outside of California.
Sorry to hear, Laura. You’re right to just move on. Life’s too short to stay at a shitty place of employment.
I’m sorry laura. You’ll find something better in no time. You’re smart and I have no doubt, a good nurse.
*reads about Lauer*
I don’t know. I sure hope there is some kind of proof or documentation at the time the harassment took place. Otherwise I call bulldookey.
Beasn, Lauer is one of those “everyone knew about.” I don’t think this is a fake one.
Lauraw – you’ll figure it out. Better to move now. Hospital? Clinic? The surgery center where Ethan got his stuff done looked like an awesome place to work.
Has anyone else noted that all of this sexual harassment shit would have made Rosetta giggle like a maniac yet?
‘Cause you know it would have.
he would have written an epic poat about it.
>>>he would have written an epic poat about it.
It would have become a series that eventually become a book that would have eventually gotten him his own late-night FoxNews show.

Porch pirates killed MJ.
laura –
i got a call from my best friend / wife today – she was in the ED with chest pains radiating into her jaw…. she’s fine, actually may have been indigestion – the pressure is unceasing because of douchebag docs & hospital management chasing highly regulated financial goals.
keep looking, you’ll find a good fit.
Mrs.jam is applying for a new position – she’s been trying to get out of the unit she leads now for a year or so.
life balance
Yep, Chi called it.
Scott and lauraw are wonderful. The rest of you are marginal at best.
(((HUGS))), Lauraw. I know it was definitely not the right fit, because you don’t give up easily in the face of bullshit, and they don’t deserve someone like you. Hope you find something much better real soon.
I am not marginal, I only use real butter. Expensive imported stuff from ire land.
Like you would know, MJ.
And only Oso eats that expensive butter.

I think Wisconsin has a law that bars Kerrygold. I can get it in stick form at Walmart
Hope you find a good fit Lauraw
My prediction for this next week is Geraldo*. He’s always given off a creep vibe. Besides, the MSM is foaming at the mouth looking for someone “on the right” about now.
*not too hard to predict after his tweets defending Mattie Lauer today.
geraldo is a pos
slightly browned skin
skanky ‘stach
not sure of his touch-a-bility
Pretty sure Geraldo has old Bette Midler accusations
just trying to get into the holyshit wtfits season kinda vibe
speaking of vibes –
wtf is Herr Chumpinnator?
out
Ew. Bette Midler? That may be worse than Joy Behar.
I’m old. Bing me
There was a time when Bette Midler was dorkable in the squeakhole. Unlike Joy Behar.
Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
“Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E Lee”
Now I don’t mind choppin’ wood, and I don’t care if the money’s no good
Ya take what ya need and ya derp the rest,
But they should never have taken the very best
This weather is crazy. Mild for yet another week into what would ordinarily be winter.
I listened to Pink Floyd while driving yesterday. I like the shit outa this song.
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses as high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
