There were a large number of write-in votes in the recent AL Senate special election, and I lol’d to see that “Your Mom” got a vote.
Let’s see what’s in the funneh folder for today.
Apologies in advance for the earworm.

At least there’s no complaints.
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

The vote for Curtis Strange (instead of Luther Strange) also amused me.
Yep, was wrapping gifts. I’m in pretty good shape for the first round of giving, starting this afternoon.
All my gifts are wrapped.
Mine too.
It’s easy when you don’t buy any.
How do you wrap boobs as a gift? Asking for a friend.
Including the one for your mom.
Heh. Tushar’s pic just reminded me of the “Dick in a box” video that I find so funny. Yes, I’m basically twelve – sue me.
Jehovah’s Witnesses just left. They haven’t been around in a few weeks.
They really seem like pretty normal people. Honest. Sincere. Patient. Heck – a lot nicer than most people, now that I think about it.
Tushar!!! Perfect!
This place is deader than a Jerry Garcia tribute concert.
We are returning my MIL’s pink crystal champagne glasses that she asked us to have appraised a while back. I made tiny individual blueberry trifles in three of them. That’s gonna be a cute and classy dessert for after dinner tonight.
One of the upperclassmen at high school was from a JH family. They kicked him out of his church because they found out he went on dates and fooled around with a girl. His home life became rather tormented. British kid, very nice guy.

At work I put on amazon prime music hooked to a little speaker I got as a gift a couple of years ago. I go with Christmas music after Thanksgiving and it’s tolerable since I’m in and out of the office all day between exam rooms. The other night I woke up with the dreaded insomnia and all I could hear in my head was Burl Ives singing “It’s a holly jolly Christmas”. Took a while but I was able to shake it and drift off to sleep again.
Back when i was dating the chick with young kinds, this one was a staple at Chez Chi:
I dated a former JW, two things she said stuck with me, a) they weren’t allowed to hangout and be friends with non JW’s and, b) they are very much into “prepping”. Like guns and everything.
Troy,
The JWs that visit me don’t seem to mind mingling with non-believers (I was raised Catholic, but am now agnostic at best). Believe me – I look scary. Haven’t shaved in 2½ years, all my clothes come from the thrift store, etc…
They come to my home exclusively – yes they stopped walking the neighborhood, because I take the time to talk with them what le most people pretend they aren’t home or just get rude. But I have never got the impression that they were against interacting with someone that wasnt a part of their group. Maybe because their still just trying to recruit me?
Meh – I will continue to humor them, ask questions and interact. I bet they’ll get tired of it before I do

I was arguing with a liberal and asked him to read Dinesh D’Souza’s book. Dinesh replied to that, and my Twitter account has been ripped to shreds with 500+ replies, retweets and likes. If my Twitter account was human, I would have asked it to put some ice on that.

I got a nice surprise from the kids at the snack bar when I got to work. Treats for Riley and a cookie for me. Some of those treats sound awful tempting, though.

The Mossad’s twitter account is hilarious. Whoever it is, is having loads of fun with it.
I’ve followed them for awhile and The Mossad Twitter is fantastic!
They’ll taunt anyone, no bars held.
I wish The Mossad Twitter was the real Mossad. That would be all kinds of awesome. They Rock.
haha, kids at the snack bar?
Pretty sure I’ve mentioned them before, J’Ames. The couple who run it have three kids–two boys aged 7 and 4, and a little girl who’s 2. For some reason, they’ve decided that I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Nailed the beard.
Heh, your own fan club! Gotta like that.
Plus a Christmas present like that is always awesome.

I ate a Milk Bone dog biscuit for five bucks as a kid. Wasn’t all that bad but really wasn’t that good. Not sure what the draw is for dogs.
Merry Christmas Mare…coffee?

Some of those are bacon flavored, Jimb. Like I said, tempting.

Merry Christmas Pepe. Here is something to think about for the next show:

I thought Milk Bone tasted like really stale graham crackers.
Leon, my kids essentially double-dog dared each other and are eating the salsa with chips. Rocketboy says he’s had ghost pepper salsa that was hotter.
I ate a Milk Bone dog biscuit for five bucks as a kid. Wasn’t all that bad but really wasn’t that good. Not sure what the draw is for dogs.
I ate a grasshopper for $5 once. It wasn’t all that bad, actually.
As far as dogs and milk bones go, my pup won’t touch them if you paid him. But he’ll eat a rotten dead squirrel in the backyard after rolling in it, so I don’t exactly count him as an Iron Chef judge, IYKWIM.
I wonder if oso would eat a grasshopper for $5.
Pretty sure they used rotten dead squirrel in the old Japanese Iron Chef show. Morimoto won.
Hoppers would kill you and everything you love.
Dan needs to start adding green food coloring to everything he cooks.
O – This is good. What is it?
D- Hopper soup.
Well, oso is Messican, so this is her heritage.

Darn it, I made it too mild this year.
Go Army!
Pretty sure they used rotten dead squirrel in the old Japanese Iron Chef show. Morimoto won.
LOL. Definitely the old Japanese version. I always liked the one who would do the calligraphy menu before starting to cook.
Mare🦓, my brother is at that game. He had enough tix that he invited me but I didn’t care to drive that far unless you were gonna be there. And then I wouldn’t have seen you anyway.
No hoppers for Oso. No green dye for Dan.
Dan says for $5 he’ll put real grasshoppers in my food.
He’s been doing it for years.

Favorite comment: Santa killed his reindeer because of all the methane they generated (23X more heat retention than CO2) and is using his electric sleigh with an 80 mile range. Don’t bother putting milk and cookies out, it may be July until he gets to your house.

Is there such a thing as fake grasshopper?!?
My goodness, I don’t think I want to know…
Your mom was a bit of a hopper.
Sales have been so amazing, we started stocking New Year, New You transition last week. We’ve been running out of giftables. Now, we’re running out of storage and organization. Almost out of gift cards. Thanks DJT!!! Bonus 💰 AND OT!!!
oh come on, good sales are due to Obama policies finally kicking in!
The repeal of Net Neutrality is going to kill Christmas sales. Or the #GOP TaxScam. Just give it a few days.
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes

I’m fighting a stupid cold, hoping it’s not the flu that’s been going around.
**sprays poat with Lysol**
I woke up with a sore throat yesterday, took 2 aspirin and had coffee. Throat felt much better after that and it’s good now. My guess is that I did an awful lot of talking on Friday at work and meetings and my vocal cords got a workout. Lots of tea with honey helped too.

I’m going to try this kimchi recipe: https://kimchimari.com/green-cabbage-kimchi/
Minus most of the hot chiles.
I’m really loving the kimchi. I just feel good after I eat it. Happy tummy.
The one I made with bok choi instead of napa cabbage is much less stinky, too.
Holy crap is it going to be cold next week.
Screw you polar vortex!
Right now the sun is shining and the stove is cranking so I opted for short and a t-shirt for the day. Snow tomorrow so Paula’s parents came over this morning to visit and exchange gifts. We got them new towels and they got us new sheets and glasses. Her dad got a box of Christmas bullets too!

DAMN, Johnny’s Selected Seeds has gotten so expensive! I love them but I just can’t. No way. So many of their basic seed packets are between $4 and $7, and that’s not even new or fancy stuff. There’s just no way.

This is funny.
Backpedaling should be an exhibition event at the next Summer Olympics.

$225 at the liquor store – Drambuie, Grand Marnier, Hennesy, Casa Noble Anejo, and egg nog. Glad Christmas only comes once a year.

Fancy girly drinks.
Not a single drop of bourbon, Hotspur? Blasphemy!
And, make your own eggnog at home. It’s cheaper and better.
Have all the normal stuff – bourbon, scotch, gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, etc. This was just the fancy stuff for after dinner. 14 coming for dinner at 5:30.
I’m going to have to shovel. We’ve got about an inch and it’s coming down pretty heavy.
We’re breaking out the Santa pitcher for rum with eggnog
https://is.gd/FCxRCS
Nice.
That really is a beautiful pitcher, Jimbro.
That’s a stock photo. Ours is very similar but not an antique by any means.
Fill pitcher with cubed ice, healthy pour of rum or bourbon, sprinkle nutmeg on it and pour in whole milk or eggnog. Stir and enjoy.
When you use milk it can sneak up on you since it’s not as filling as eggnog.
Someone posted to twatface, “Remember the Hugh Hewitt shirt from 15 years ago? ‘Win the war. Confirm the judges. Cut the taxes. Cut the spending. Secure the border.’ Trump managed four out of five in his first year.”
Looks like Santa wearing a pirate hat.
Guests in 30 minutes. Turkey and shit.
I have the Fred Thompson shirt. “Kill the terrorists. Protect the borders. Punch the hippies.”

Have been completely disconnected from the ‘net. Since Friday afternoon. Got reconnected today when we docked in Orlando.
Missed zero tweet notifications, only 9 generic Facebook notifications and 1 text message.

I’m grilling hamburgers for Christmas Eve. My life is awesome!
Grilling in Winter, in the snow, is one of the most satisfying…it’s hard to describe. It beats Summer grilling, in some ways.
Scrambled eggs with cheese and sausage for dinner. Maybe some bourbon later.
I’m really lazy this evening, so I think I’m going to order a steak & cheese sub and a dozen hot wings for dinner. Besides, I need to balance out the keto cauliflower I had last night with some crap food.
Winter grilling is awesome, but that would mean I had to go farther than the front porch for dinner. Wouldnt be prudent – Not gonna happen.
This is a festival of cheer and good wishes, and I should only be projecting positive vibes.
But as a Godless heathen who worships false idols, I can get an exemption.
I have to pass on this tweet from Paul Joseph Watson:
Christmas is the worst day of the year for leftists.
Family, joy, happy children, Christianity, eating meat, good will to all men, enjoying the plentifulness that capitalism enables.
It’s literally everything they hate.
Spare a thought for the miserable bastards.
Merry Christmas, Hostages!
May the new year find you in even better spirit than the balls-out giddiness that was 2017.
I made meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner. Came out pretty good. Second glass of eggnog is being sipped … I’m kind of full.
I just discovered magnetic block heaters and got all excited.
Then I learned my oil pan is aluminum.
sad trombone
Lots of single digits in the weather forecast for next week.
Can you swap out a freeze plug for a block heater?
Back when I had my diesel F250, the block heater was soooo nice to have. If for no other reason, the heat would be cranking in the cab before I even made it to the mailbox. Being so skinny that I have to run around in the shower to get wet, this is crucial to winter survival.
I would complain about having to work on Christmas Eve, but I’m blessed to have an easy job working for my best friend’s family business. And I’m not entirely sure, but I may be getting holiday pay for this shit.
Ho ho ho.
Minus 13 forecasted for Thursday AM … Gawd
Wiser!! Have a great Christmas!!
I don’t think I can.
I’ve had success with a lightbulb in a cooler.
Van has amazing glow plug technology that works really well, but I am down a couple.
Sean, can you give us a “days sober” update?
A) it’s an inspiration.
B) it shocks me how time has flown
C) why not?
Hmmm, wonder what happened to the chickens…….

I have been sober 2,309 days, mare. By the grace of God.
We closed at 6. I got stuck making the PA closing announcements. 6:20…and we still had Members in the Club. Had a woman yelling at me because we only have NIV and NKJV bibles. She wanted a KJV. I passed her on to my boss, because she was pissing me off and she didn’t like my “tone”. Merry Christmas Hostages!!!!
She was told to steal a very specific type of Bible, oso. You can’t just expect her to show up with any old Vulgate or American Standard.
“Woman only steals King James Version bibles” sounds like something out of The Babylon Bee.
Sean, I didn’t want to be cranky on the baby Jesus birthday. 😜😝🤣
Baby Jesus forgives you, oso. It’s kind of His deal.
Merry Christmas everyone!
From a HQ lurker.
Congrats, Sean, that’s fantastic.
Thanks, Peps. I am surrounded by wonderful people, all of you included. Yes, even b-rad.
Catwrangler, Merry Christmas!
How many candy canes do you have shoved up your ass right now?
CoAlEx, I will never understand people that steal bibles. I will never understand people that yell at me for not having the Bible they want. We’ve never carried Douay-Rheims. Ever!!! Members: You know Albuquerque is predominantly Catholic? Oso: Yes, but our buyers are in Arkansas. There are 3 Catholic stores in Albuquerque. They all have Douay. Members: Their prices aren’t low like Sam’s Club.
Sean, thanks to you and your linking Patton Oswalt’s Christmas Shoes, it isn’t the baby Jesus I’m worried about! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Cranky on my son’s birthday? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Urrgh, people keep saying Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie because it was released in the summer. Miracle on 34th Street was released in May or June, I guess it isn’t a Christmas movie either………
Y’all need to Netflix Godless. Hotspur knows. He knows!!!! Peaky Blinders is back!!!
My favorite Christmas movie of all time. And it hasn’t been on TV yet even once this year. Yippee-ki-yay, mother fuckers.
Sean, that is most awesome. Great for you, man. I don’t think I’ve gone that long without a drink since I was twelve.
Candy canes?!? How embarrassing, I thought it was supposed to be mistletoe. No wonder I got weird looks.
“My favorite Christmas movie of all time. And it hasn’t been on TV yet even once this year. Yippee-ki-yay, mother fuckers.”
We are watching that tomorrow.
Usually bullwhips. We’re keeping it real with the season
Scott, Lethal Weapon, too?
It’s possible.
We are blowing off everyone and staying home.
I have a hard time watching Lethal Weapon ever since Danny Glover went full-on Sean Penn.
Mini-me made queso dip with Leon’s scorpion salsa. Nom nom nom.
Until six years ago, I don’t think I had gone that long without a drink since roughly the same age, Chi.

OK, I laughed so hard at this one, I scared the dog. I wish everyone appreciated a good “your Mom” joke as much as this crowd.

Mistletoe hanging out of your ass is just an invitation to goats to follow you around.
Well done, Sean.
Amazing and I’m thankful you’re graced.
Thank you, my friends. I’m blessed in so many ways.
Dan earlier today: For your Christmas present, I’m flying you and your sister to Vegas to spend Christmas with your mom and brother. I even insured you have a center seat there and back! Merry Christmas!!! Oso: While you are evil enough to come up with this plan, you are too tight to pay for the airfare tickets. Nice try.
Dan knows that you have to make your own fun. Tell him Angels Beard Guy said Merry Christmas.
Sean, he thinks you guys are trying to block the Yankees offseason moves. He wishes you a Merry Christmas while watching baseball offseason acquisitions.

Wakey wakey (i’ve been up for a while). Driving back from Toledo last night was horrible. We ended up getting 6 inches (sywm) up here, and there were many, many cars in the ditches – and one went well into a stand of trees. horrible. Chewed all my nails off.
But arrived home.
So, back in early November my friend moved in with us. Long story.
Everything is fine, except one thing she does drives me nuts.
I’ll be in the kitchen fixing hamburgers- literally with a plate of meat and a plate of just-made burgers sitting on the counter in front of me, while forming another patty in my hands- and she walks in and says, “Are you making hamburgers?”
Or, I’ll walk in with something in my hand, and she’ll say, “What’s that?” Literally every time I’m holding anything.
Or I’ll be working on a sewing project and she will yell up the stairs, “What are you working on? Can I see?”
I’m used to just walking around in here doing things that need to get done. I don’t want to have to explain shit. I sure as *heck* don’t want to have to explain shit that is none of her business.
I love her, but she needs a hobby.
Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus.
Sorry about the syphilus, xbrad.
YEAH!!!!! Happy BD to Babay Jesus!!!!!

My phone is in the other room and the text notification goes off. “Who’s texting you?”
I get off the phone with my mom, a conversation she heard fully half of and has the cognitive power to figure out the other half. “Whatd your mom say?”
It’s 7:00 AM, I’m frying bacon and have the coffee pot going. “Are you gonna make eggs too?” I’ve fried bacon a grand total of zero times in our married life and then neglected to fry eggs as well.

“Haley’s statement comes after the U.N. voted to condemn the United States for President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The resolution, backed by nations with long records of extreme human rights abuses, passed 128-9 last Thursday. Haley immediately responded by threatening to reduce America’s U.N. funding.
“The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” Haley told the assembly in New York City.”

A couple days after Christmas 2015, I drove from Colorado Springs to San Antonio for a friend’s wedding. I drove through Oklahoma City the morning after the huge ice storm, when there was still an inch of ice on the highways. Every couple of miles there was a car or truck in the ditch, with a couple national guard soldiers trying to figure out how they were going to pull it out
At one point I was stopped on the highway, watching some poor bastard try to get his truck back onto the road, and I looked in my rear view mirror to see a semi jackknifing as it tried to stop. It came within inches of hitting me. Fun times.

Ham is in the oven, Boys 1 and 2 are playing Mario Cart on the new Nintendo Switch.
Only have had one tense moment this morning, when Boy1 decided his hill to die on was wearing the new robe his grandma got him for 5 seconds for a picture.
We worked it out. He did what I asked and will remember this Christmas forever as “The Christmas that Dad made me do something small that I didn’t want to do and was mean about it”.
Traffic cones, Pups.
Tacos for Christmas was a great idea. Tradition is born (hopefully).
I thought tamales were the Messican Christmas food.
Tamales and bunuelos.
I’m not eating that, Messicans are. I’m eating a hash made with smashed potatoes, Dearborn ham, and rotisserie chicken.
Pupster, I’ve heard them called crayon tips, but most of the time, we call them orange traffic cones.
I got a suitcase, which Mr. RFH was leery of giving to me, considering the last time he did that, I took it back to the store in a huff. This time, I have not just returned from a two-week trip where I missed our anniversary, we are actually planning a couple of trips in 2018, and I hate hatey hate my current POS suitcase.
I also got the AoS cookbook, a couple of CDs, some hot sauces, a lighter for the grill, and good chocolate.
Sauerbraten is in the crockpot. Kids are cooking it for me since I have the Mongolian Death Flu.

My fellowship year in Denver was my first time experiencing tamales. One of the young Mexican secretaries brought them in to sell for her grandmother every once in a while.
I went with Scott’s suggestion about shaming the first person to work sick by naming the workforce flu after that person. Chaston Monkey Virus. Chaston wasn’t happy. He and his wife have a 3 yr old and an 18 month old. Just found out his wife is preggo with twins. No way he was calling out. The fact that 12 other associates missed work doesn’t matter to him.
Oso, by the time he recovers, everyone else is out sick and he can earn overtime.

In NM, poaching deer is the first step in making tamales.
Pepe, my cousin, David, was 5 when his Herrera Tios started teaching him how to hide game and poach. Mi familia doesn’t poach
Poaching deer would take a really big pot, and seems like a mighty fussy way to cook them.
Leon with the white guy funneh!!!
>>What do you people call those orange rubber traffic cones?
I don’t know about others. I call it Your Mom’s Buttplug.
RL friends put a jacket and hat on a poached deer. Put it in the bench seat of the truck. Rode between them.
Cousins did the same thing with their mom. She passed in Albuquerque. They took her to Roswell in the truck. Aunt Edna/weekend at Bernies
Orange barrels or Albuquerque speed bumps
Rolled up to Mom’s for Christmas dinner, and there is a shiny new $80,000 Tesla parked out front.
Alas, it wasn’t for me – just somebody visiting next door.
Cousins did the same thing with their mom. She passed in Albuquerque. They took her to Roswell in the truck.
There was a rumor that one of the now-retired co-workers did that with his wife. She passed somewhere out West, and he brought her home in the station wagon rather than pay hearse fees.
Tia Angelita died in the hospital. Didn’t need an autopsy. Fernando and Fermin drove her to Roswell in their truck. Dan looked at me like I was crazy. He’d only been in the family for a few years at the time. 10.

Giant sous-vide. First, we’ll need an above ground pool…
That’s insane, Oso! Damn. Is it even legal to transport a dead body yourself?
Seems like that’s one of those “beg forgiveness rather than ask permission” situations
Anyone else notice how little we’re hearing about Kwanzaa these days?
Pylons? Am I the only person who knows them as pylons?
Pylons? Like from Starcraft?

Still popular among black separatists on college campi.
Pylon, Monty Pylon…

Not tired of winning.
Pylons are what you load missiles and bombs onto.

So are ejector racks.

I’ve heard pylons.
You say pylon, I say pilon

I liked the moose in the snow vid on facedouche
Your mom likes my pylon.
“Am I the only person who knows them as pylons?”
Yes, but you aren’t wrong.
Google image search ‘safety pylon’.
After a quick trip to Merriam Webster online, apparently pylon means everything. A gate, a tower, a traffic cone, the big bracket whoosies that Romacita mentioned.
It’s a good catchall word, apparently.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, my sister came by to drop off food from the Christmas thing with the other family and she brought me some mouth-watering looking pylons, which I haven’t had in ages.
Don’t forget to check for poison spines. Pylons kill thousands every year when not prepared correctly.
My image search for pylon resulted in high power line towers
