Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Take a break from the curling for a bit.
Let’s see who’s in the HHD folder for today.
Mikael Kingsbury, inspired by the Salt Lake Games. (Okay, that made me feel old. Still a good story.)
Gold medalist Shaun White (redhead for Carin)
Silver medalist Chris Mazdzer.
Half out of his suit.
Osita, you *knew* I was gonna put this guy in.
How did he not freeze?
He’s competing in cross country skiing.
Thank you for your attention, thank you to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love, and y’all have a good day.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Hotsausages!!
I think today when I get done painting the stupid staircase, I’ll find a shrimp and corn bisque recipe and make it for Scott because he absolutely loves that stuff.
Don’t tell him, it’s a secret shhhh
wakey wakey
Nothing better than shrimping the ole cornhole
hope Matt gets out today!
Tonga guy kept warm with coconut oil
Fluids people. At the first sign of flu.
I remembered Ash Wednesday but forgot St Valentine.
Ash Wednesday Mass then worky worky.
Going to get written up for housekeeping at work today. I cleaned, but it’s a working lab, not a showroom, so I might as well expect the upper level manager who hasn’t left his office since last year to “tsk, tsk” me.
CUR – LING!
CUR-LING!
CUR- LING!
which one of you snarly harlots wants to be my valentine????
HOSTEGETTES SCATTER
My husband went to the store and got me flowers early this morning. I, like Leon, remembered Ash Wednesday, forgot about Valentines Day.
*sees Jam’s comment*
*knocks over Roamy, Carin and Lauraw*
“I don’t have to be faster than Jam just faster than the other Hostagettes in the room.”
I was going to get flowers when I went for ashes, but wife wasn’t up early enough for me to go.
I got a card for my mother in late January when I saw them at the grocery and picked one up for Paula too. We were running out of candles and I got an email promo from Yankee Candle and ordered some. They happened to arrive yesterday afternoon so -BOOM- instant Valentine’s Day gift!
Thought you were a Boston fan. Ordering Yankee candles? You’ve been hanging out with wiser again.
On Ace’s overnight thread The Manitowoc minute was linked, that guy is really clever.
For a bottle of bourbon and a nice steak dinner, I’ll be your Valentine jamjam.
No candles or figure skating, though!
YANKEES SUCK !!!
Before the Sox finally won a World Series that was THE chant at Fenway, even when the Yankees weren’t playing the Sox that night. Ever since the Sox won another one and the Yankees have had a few lousy years it’s really lost its steam.

Holy shit, Mare.
The juxtaposition is incredible.
Obama is the clown shoe president.
admit it, chichi, you’d be his valentine for a food truck burrito.
Jimbro, my dad taught us to hate the Yankees, but a whole stadium chanting “Yankees Suck” is vulgar.
There are times when our society makes me cringe.
I saw a poster once that said, “If assholes could fly, Yankee Stadium would be an airport.”
It might be able to be equally applied to Fenway Park.
Hahahaha:
What is the over/under on the first Olympics to feature men’s pair skating?
From facebook
Don’t forget Wrigley, HS!
It’s a rivalry thing, I don’t mind. My dad hated it too.
The rivalry is fine. Living in Ann Arbor, we have several – Ohio State, Michigan State, and Notre Dame.
I just don’t like the acceptance of the public behavior.
“Clown shoe President”
————
Exactly.
The sequence of presidential portraits has been on my mind as far as seeing the progression. That picture Mare linked sums it all up nicely. Holy crap, he’s a buffoon. Can’t wait for Trump to show his one day and return to the classical portrait style.
“Look kids, our first Ghetto Pimp President!”
On some level, he has to be embarrassed. This is laughable to anyone with any sense. Did he not see it before it was unveiled?
Happy Valentines Day!
I suspect obama doesn’t give a shit considering exactly who he chose to do it.
Mooch doesn’t care either. Have you seen her wardrobe?
Re: the Presidential portraits.
I always thought JFK’s was a bit “look at me” – I bet if we had iPhones back then, he would’ve been just as bad as President Precedent.
The Obamas are insecure. The Clintons wanted money for the comfort and the influence. The Obamas want it to buy friends. Their whole adult lives they’ve desperately tried to fit in with the wealthy and successful crowd, but never quite managed it. Remember, prior to his election to Senate they were basically living far beyond their means. It’s why he saw the Presidency as a change to hang out with “interesting people”: intellectuals, radicals, celebrities. She wore fashions from expensive designers, even if she looked awful in them. They picked these artists not because they were the best artists for the job, but because they were hip in certain circles. Twenty years from now those portraits will look as appealing as the interior of that house in Sturgis.
Those portraits look like that now.
Times change and I can’t expect a presidential portrait to be done in the exact same style of 100 years ago.
BUT – there are plenty of modern artists that aren’t so LOOK AT ME whorish that would have made a more toned-down and appropriate painting.
They should hang those portraits in their own house. No one wants to see them.

i LOVE those paintings –
I’m likin’ ’em more and more each day.
This is the most i’ve laughed in a while.
We haven’t seen this in a while. Seems appropriate to the current topic.

Of course not, but you can still expect that his presidential portrait try to remain somewhat similar to the others, and adhere to some basic standard of taste. He could have picked an artist who’s painting would have been more timeless, which is a better fit for this situation.
I think they are the perfect representation of both of those individuals. No class, mediocre, ride any trend, shallow, dysfunctional human beings.
There is something to be said for the classic portrait style…OBVIOUSLY.
You can make a portrait unique (which is inherent in a portrait already) without being ridiculous.
And if it’s good enough for Washington and Lincoln it sure as shit is good enough for Obama.
What Troy said.
They really do represent the two twats.
They should hang those portraits in their own house. No one wants to see them.
You’d be wrong. I have a friend who is about 35 and black. His wife put mooch’s pic up on her fb page yesterday and raved about how fine her girl was. Last sentence was something like, “I never wanted to DC and I damn sure never wanted to go to no museum but I’m gonna go now just to see my Michelle.”
I bit my typing fingers til they begged for more. I hope she goes. Maybe she’ll pick up some exposure to real class and accomplishment along the way.
Hahhhaaaaa, she thinks Michelle looks “fine” and it doesn’t like her!
Perfect.
And perfectly dumb.
Yes, I’m calling them dumb.
They’d fit right in with the North Koreans and their worship of their Dear Leader. Pathetic.

Africa would be a high-tech utopia if it weren’t for white people, and Mexico wouldn’t be a failed narcostate if the US weren’t here to buy all the drugs.
Have you read that the LGBT99u44$$5<YY community is pissed Black Panther doesn't have a gay character?
LOL
They’re all on the down low.
That was a good review, Carin.

The problem is simply that no one will follow suit. All of the portraits will be pretty typical except for asshat’s.
He’s like one of those chicks that just wants to be taken seriously but has blue hair, wears a t-shirt that says, ‘pussy destroyer’, and has a tattoo of a cupcake on her neck.

Hey now, she has a degree in Womyn’s Studies and deserves to be heard.
And mocked mercilessly.
Nanny is here. 10/10.
My sister offered my wife a summer job after we move doing day care for my niece. Cash money was part of that offer, so my wife will likely be a nanny soon.
ave you read that the LGBT99u44$$5<YY community is pissed Black Panther doesn't have a gay character?
Oh give them time. They will use their magic of critical theory to turn one of them gay.
Nanny? For one child?
My sister and BiL both work. Niece is turning 6 so she’s in school most of the time.
Nanny? For one child?

i need a nanny
An old hs friend of mine posted Obama’s latest selfie on her fb page. I made an H2’observation about it. Next commenter up responds “haters gonna hate smdh”. I guess that’s all it takes to dismiss an opinion or idea you don’t share these days. I’m not gonna roll around in the mud with their dumb asses.
An all black cast, except for two short nerdy white guys, and a fat white chick. And no queers.
Should be a fucking blast.
true story:
a cousin of mine married a chick that’s a lawyer.
they had a child –
because lawyer wife made grotesque amounts of money he stayed home to be mommy-daddy.
they hire a nanny because why not.
hot young nanny

One of my favorite movies is “The Last Dragon”. A black-cast kung-fu movie produced by Berry Gordy. The only white men in the cast are the villains. I watched it as a kid and had no trouble identifying with the protagonist, because he shared my values, came from an intact family, etc.
If it came out today it would be politicized to hell and back, back then it was just fun.

I read somewhere that in the comic books a couple of the characters are lesbians, but that it’s not mentioned in the films, so OMG OPPRESSION ELEVNTY!!!11!!
Heaven forbid that it has nothing to do with the plot of the movie.

I’m guessing that wife #2 wasn’t the nanny. A lesson for young women as well as men.
I will never understand why women allow the hiring of hot young nannies. It’s a recipe for disaster.
jam2, here’s a similar.
My sister is a speech path and used to be good friends with a female ob/gyn who was going to med school at the same time lil sis was going to grad school for speech path.
Fast fwd a couple of years and female ob/gyn is offered $400K to work for a conglomerate of doctors in a relatively large city. She takes it, and they decide that her husband’s $40k teaching and coaching salary is immaterial and that it’d be better for him to stay home with the kids.
Works out great until the kids get school age, and then he gets in the routine of dropping them off at school at 8:00, playing 18 to 36 holes of golf, and then picking them up at 3:30. The daily routine from 3:30 pm to 8:00 am the next day didn’t change one iota. Female ob/gyn’s parents couldn’t stand it that their SIL was golfing every day while their daughter was bread winning. They bitched and moaned and complained until one day, he filed for divorce and took half her shit.
Returning to teaching and coaching wasn’t bad compared to dealing with her parents, I guess.
All nannies should look like Mary Poppins.
Damn it, wait…
not sure what happened to the nanny
i assume that after cousin no longer had any money / house / etc that he suddenly became sooper unattractive
Bruce Leroy!!!????
The one and only.
All nannies should look like Mary Poppins.
Damn it, wait…
Like a screen door in a hurricane.
Like a screen door in a hurricane.
Exactly…
lawyer wife was a (hotspur word)
his cheating on her not withstanding
i went to their wedding – wasn’t quite sure what he saw in her (she wasn’t making the big cash at that point).
All nannies should look like Mary Poppins.
And sound like Fran Drescher.
someone should do a wedding post….
how many ppl were at your wedding?
all of the big weddings that i’ve been to (i think) have ended in divorce..
Honestly, Fran Drescher was hot. And her real voice is nice…
First wedding was 200, second was 90 or so.
There about 350 invited to mine. Only about 50 showed up. Bad-assed ice storm covered all roads and highways with about an inch of ice. My dad told my mom on the way to the church that if his own kid wasn’t getting married, he’d sit this one out.
December weddings are probably not a good idea, but we were…….getting impatient.
One and only wedding was maybe 120.
Mine was family and friends.
Mine was around 100 as I recall.
Spectacular event.
Myself, the stripper, and Elvis. As God intended weddings to be.
LOL
20 at mine
my wife planned it in 2 weeks
one of my relatives was convinced it was a shotgun gig
Cute, hotspur.
daughter showed up 7 years later
rough marriage when you have to roofie your bride hotntot
Heh. That was between the wedding and the reception.
She trashed the hem of that dress dancing all night.
I trashed your mom’s hem
Tell your sister I’m sorry about the rugburns on her knees.
I’m not sorry, but tell her anyways.
You can make a portrait unique (which is inherent in a portrait already) without being ridiculous.
Yeah, like hiding sperm on the subject’s face. Challenge folks to find it.
EVERYBODY’S WEARING DRESSES!
(nice pic, HS)
Hiding something in a picture is an age old technique to really captivate your audience. I can see why he does it.
It’s as old as Waldo.
The sperm is heading for Obama’s ear, so he can hear it coming.
Barack Hussein Obama – President of the United State 2009 to 2017
(The only president in the gallery with jizm on his face. Be the first person in your party to spot it.)
Child: Mom, what is jizm?
Mom: Ask your sister.
I think 6 at our wedding, including the photographer and judge.
Can we make curling the H2 sport?
Dt. Dr. Pepper for Sean, of course. but NO WINE!
Hehe
Kim Jong Un impersonator dances with NK cheerleaders
9 people at our wedding. That number includes the pastor, the bride, and the groom. Paul’s father didn’t want to drive 7 hours on a Friday to see his son get married (mom wanted to come, but she didn’t drive).
Our situation was much like Jam’s – we had only a couple of weeks to plan it; first kid didn’t show up for 6 years, so that kind of hushed up all of the wags.
We’re still together, 37 1/2 years later….
The first baby can come at any time. The second baby takes nine months.
It looks like they threw Brer Barry in the briar patch.
Hey look, the first nanny was a total pig. Nice enough, but she was at least 3 hundo and kind of a shitty nanny.
We tried to hire an illegal but she moved to Miami because apparently all latinas have to live in Miami.
Its not my fault the hot one is really good at her job.
No nanny-smashing.
Is the new nanny GND-hot, or just hot-hot?
Good question.
She’s really pretty, but this is just a total joke because its such a stereotype.
No nanny smashing indeed.
Can a single guy with no kids hire a hot nanny? Asking for a friend.
Chichi just share mj’s
She’s already paid 4
Good point.
As long as she doesn’t smell like fish sticks.
Everyone enthused about the nanny thing, raise your hand if you’ve seen “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle”…
Well I made a 5700.00 fuck up.
Job Status = iffy.
FUCK, SHIT, PISS!
“It’s not my fault the hot one is really good at her job.”
How many times a day does she dust the beds?
TeeRoy I made a 10k oopppsie a couple of months ago. It cost me a thousand bucks to get a machinist to do an overnight quick fix
Maybe you can get a “machinist”
Btw does anyone need a metal lathe?
Only thing that’ll fix this is 5700.00. I fucking missed a telephone hearing with Illinois Unemployment on a case that I’d already had ruled in my favor…..I’ve never lost a UI case…..then I missed the window of opportunity to appeal the missed hearing. Of course this was in the midst of my kidney stone extravaganza, but still….
FUCK! SHIT! PISS!
just bought a box (7) of sumo oranges – 15 bucks
they are pretty good
thanks scott
Imma cut a bish.
I wouldn’t know a sumo orange if it came dressed as a
Bartlett Pear.
I’m sorry TT 😦
Wow. That’s cheap. 6 at Whole Foods was $22.
Local grocer has them for a little less.
I looked. No sumo oranges in Lapeer.
Summa Cum Laud Orange.
The more I think about Obama’s portrait, the more perfect it is. He always makes decisions based on current hyper-political trends and feelings. That’s how he managed to commission this flashy piece of shit, instead of something dignified that will stand the test of time. At his election, he was the Man of the Moment. That moment is over, and like his legacy, his portrait is already aging poorly. In the future, it’s going to be deeply baffling, embarrassing, and even more silly-looking.
I bet he and Michelle are trying to figure out a way to gracefully replace these images with different ones.
As an aside, I love Reagan’s portrait. It’s full of light and optimism, blue sky. Ford’s and Carter’s are pretty good, too.
I dunno. I think they’re attention whores. They love it.

i might have to go back friday if they are still there
Perhaps. Maybe they love the inappropriateness. I just can’t see being happy with that, though.
What kind of lathe, Jam?
it’s an old south bend –
i had to buy the machinists lathe in order to get the guy to run the 30 pieces i needed.
he was selling a few things in order to update his tooling
he had some old hit or miss engines too-
i would have rather bought one of them
Oh, perhaps they’re not happy. But that would require them to admit a mistake. You see either of them doing that?
Hey Mare, what are you doing Saturday?

My thoughts too. At some point there’s gonna be a quiet do over that the media politely ignores because they know how incongruous their portraits are in comparison to the others despite being cheerleaders for them now
Broke news to boss. Fell on my sword and offered immediate resignation. Request denied. Offered the increase I just received. Offer denied. Thanks for the commiseration. Back to regulary scheduled program…
Those portraits look like the “art” you see on the side of buildings in da bronx…. very apropos. Low class, all the money in the world couldn’t elevate those two.
I think it was Maj Toure can’t remember and can’t find it but he linked a portrait of Obama that even I had to admit was really good. Modern, dignified, great pose, not smarmy. The only downside is he’s in a tan suit. But darken the suit and there’s little negative to say about it.
https://www.google.com/search?q=obama+portrait+in+tan+suit&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgdii=SbrttOsun03RbM:&imgrc=hjQL8_alcyEJQM:
56 people at my wedding. Would have been a few more (we planned for 75), but my parents boycotted and several other family members joined them. 30 years in July.
Troy, great outcome and I’m sure well deserved. Bosses only do that with excellent employees. You can absorb mistakes when otherwise your work is great!
Was it a catholic deal, Roamy?
I mean your parents not being happy.
About 6 months ago I kinda screwed up and wrecked a $4000 sale for one of my auctioneer customers.
He was pissed.
He put it in his next auction and it sold for $6000.
Woo hoo!
Couldn’t they just have copied Obama’s portrait off a commemorative plate?
Mare, yes. And he was unemployed, a Yankee, and a Yankee fan. (He chants, “We don’t care about the Mets! Yeah!”)
I am about to run out of work for a week or two, so a rental car road trip may be in order.
South is the only direction that makes sense this time of year.
Tushar is going to need to use a sick day.
If he doesn’t hold a grudge he is a better man than me.
Mrs. Pupster’s older brother eloped and cheated her mom out of a wedding, so she doubled-down on the meddling and drama for ours. 23 years later I still feel like she owes me an apology for her behavior.
Get an AWD rental car and I’ll take you guys ice fishing.
Since sis refused to invite mom to her wedding, eloping is out of the question for me. Not that I’m likely to marry.
It almost hit 40 degrees today, I got a car wash. Snow tomorrow they say.

Pupster, I asked him if he held a grudge. He said not really, but there’s no way he’d ever warm up to my dad.
If nothing else, we both learned what not to do with Rocketboy’s and Mini-me’s future spouses. I don’t like Rocketboy’s girlfriend much (well, she was much better this last visit than the first one), but I can keep my damn mouth shut. He’s the one who has to live with her, not me. I also remind myself that the spouse my mom picked out for me turned out to be gay and broke.
Gay and broke is no way to go through life, son.
How do you keep Canadian Bacon from curling in the pan?
Take away the tiny brooms.
*runs
To be fair, there hasn’t been a better time to be gay.
Well there was that one time you blew that guy in college.
He gave up a job with the post office to attend the Burt Reynolds School of Acting. I shit you not.
Which might have been a good thing in that they broke him of the gay lisp he’d acquired.
There were six people at our wedding.
The judge and his little girl.
The couple that were getting married after us,
and their witnesses, that we borrowed to be our
witnesses.
Anita and the little girl drew flowers on the blackboard until the others showed up…
We invited 100 to our wedding. About 75 showed. If I could do it over, I’d have pushed a little harder to elope. Would have saved me a headache as my mom was kind of an a-hole.
Not to mention we could have saved all that money. It wasn’t that expensive but we paid for it ourselves..me being just graduated and Mr. B. with a year of work under his belt. (EDS paid shit when he started out.)
Some of the old football players from my dear old alma mater have a facebook page for those of us who played football at the dear old alma mater. I just saw today where a kid who was a Freshman when I was a Senior, who gave me fits as a scout team D lineman during practice, and who was a hell of a starting D lineman after I graduated, died yesterday.
In the online obituary it listed as one of his relatives left behind a fiance, one Scott Rasmussen, or something like that. Total eye-opener. Other than the fact that he joined the navy right after graduating from college, I had no idea he was teh ghey.
Chicka bow wow
Disturbed in Ice Skating. Amazing.
Ah yes, the sound of gun control is in the air again. Antifa/Dem shooter!
Oh, my FIL was great to me, don’t get me wrong. I loved that man, and I think he liked me a lot. We never did figure out why he didn’t want to attend our wedding, though.
Funny thing is that Paul was the 1st of his siblings whose 1st marriage “took”. Younger brother is still married to his first wife, too.
