Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Today’s song was inspired by yesterday’s poat mention of #ABQ.
Let’s see who’s in the hunkeh folder for today.
One of Hugh Jackman I didn’t remember seeing before.
Would be better if I could read the tats.
Waffled on this one.
Watch out for the poison ivy.
Last, but not least.
Thank you for your attention, thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love, and y’all have a good day.

Roamy’s back!!!!
I have to feed the horses this morning, in the rain, and I’m going to be on the phone in meetings from 830AM to 2PM.
Then I’m building a spear and going on a 57-state killing spree.
Leon is the tip of the spear
Managed to catch the hotwire with the metal button on the top of my ballcap. That’s always a pick-me-up.
Wait, no, that’s a put-me-down-and-make-me-yell.
ballcap
cryptorchid
nothing like an electric punch to the nut to start the day out
pepe –
check your gstring
8:55 AM and 8 comments. Four are Jam’s. This place is pathetic.
get busy then, Hotspur
Somebody go wake up Car in.
I was on a call while I had your mom doing some polishing, so I multitasking my commenting was a step too far.
I left a tip of the spear comment for you low lives as a set up to “I gave your mom the tip of my spear”
i thought you were hinting at a career change to mohel
If anyone, Hotspur has been dropping his balls, I mean the ball in the comment department.
Sorry, was busy with yer Mom.
When we first moved from NYC to the Va. Mtns we had this dog. On day one dog walks over to the electric fence, sniffs it, hikes his legs and gives it a squirt. Fucking Dog let out a yowl that could be heard inside the house from 50yrds away. Poor dude ran in the house with a look on his face like “MY NUTZ” and proceeded to lick himself for the next hour. I watched all this from the loft window from start to finish. Never laughed so hard while feeling bad for a creature in my life since then.
That cover song bit on the ONT was such crap. No way GN’Rs version of Live and Let Die can ever hold a candle to The Clash’s cover of I Fought the Law. AYFKM. Ridiculous!
*gets upset and throws couch pillows around*
Shit, even The Ataris cover of Boys of Summer was better than anything Axl Rose ever squealed out. Dammit, people. This is important.
Who is this .OICU812? I was born in Pontiac, Michigan.
Ok, wakey wakey. whatever.
i’m up.
I’m drinking my coffee, which is my preferred morning pick me up. As apposed to what Leon does.
And how many bullwhips does he/she have shoved up their ass?
What was the ONT topic? Best cover song? I don’t really go there. I could come up with the best cover song ever.
It’s Tool’s “No Quarter”.
no debate.
opposed.
I don’t know where that a came from.
/looks sideways at Hotspur
Carin, pipe down.
I dreamed my toilets were dirty and gross, and I JUST realized it was just a dream. PHEW.
I mean, I wasn’t actively thinking about it all morning, but I just thought – OMG, I have to clean my toilets.
Then I remembered it was just a bad dream.
Hotspur, how often has this happened to you? Round up to the nearest zero:
https://www.local10.com/news/woman-uses-machete-to-force-ex-boyfriend-to-have-sex
Johnny Cash’s Hurt, though technically that’s the original. Trent Reznor just used his time machine to go back and cover it a few years before Johnny did.
The last woman to force me to have sex with her using a machete was your mom. And believe me, she needed that machete.
I mean, that one is good, but have you HEARD Tool’s cover of “No Quarter”? It’s freakin amazing.
Tracy Chapman can pull off some really good covers.
(Is it a cover is someone does a duet with the original?)
Thrill is Gone duet with BB King is great. And she does a very interesting Ain’t No Sunshine with Buddy Guy.
No, you are pathetic.
The Supremes just delivered us another win. Fuck your commie Labor Union.
Heh. Nice little double-tap to the public sector unions…
Is scott’s comment directed at anyone in particular?
I agree with scott
Even if it was directed at me
Scott the knife is the cuatro
Pepe has them at his place for fitty dolla
I bought mine at blade hq I think
roamy had it right: All Along the Watchtower is the greatest cover. I’ve heard a rumor that Dylan doesn’t play his own song anymore, since Jimi did it so much better. That’s the cover overtaking the original.
That is a good cover. It’s almost as if you need to divide it by decades or something.
haha, so are the public sector unions gonna have big demonstrations in DC like they did in Wisconsin? That was fun.
“Almost all economic and regulatory policy affects or touches speech,” she said. “So the [court] majority’s road runs long. And at every stop are black-robed rulers overriding citizens’ choices. The First Amendment was meant for better things. It was meant not to undermine but to protect democratic governance—including over the role of public-sector unions.”
Kagan is in the pocket of the Democrats and Unions. She has just admitted it.
The repercussions could affect unions nationwide. Union membership nationwide is less than 11 percent of the American workforce, but about a third of government employees are members.
Wonder why the deep state is so prevalent?
The Supremes just delivered us another win. Fuck your commie Labor Union.
Just emerged from my high-stress meeting for a break. This is some seriously smile-inducing stuff.
Hoo boy! I came home to get the mail, check the house and avoid a gathering at camp of Paula’s friend and her assorted spawn for a good part of the time they’ll be there. When I entered the kitchen it smelled like death. Windows were opened, fan turned on, garbage disposal run and the fridge sniffed. Nothing. Then I remembered a mouse trap in a little used cabinet where the mice like to prey on defenseless food. Sure enough, there was the bloated corpse of a mouse which had met its maker in the form of a Victor snap trap loaded with peanut butter. It was pretty damn pungent, tell you what.
Ditto on Watchtower. Fun fact, the Hendrix version actually reversed the order of the verses. The effect was so strong that, yes, Dylan now performs the song that way, having long since conceded that Hendrix had vastly improved on the original.
Sometimes the cover is just better.
My hard-core lefty cousin used to be a union rep at her VA job. She’s gotta be losing her ever-loving shit right now.
I’m fine with private sector unions where the marketplace can sort things out as far as their success or failure based on profit vs loss. In a public sector union they win regardless of any losses they incur.
I’m not okay with Wagner Act unions in the private sector, i.e. unions with more than one company like UAW. This lets them pick a weak horse and extract favors, then threaten the strong horses until they get similar deals out of them.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She’s going to be the name and face the MSM pushes from now until election day. She is easy on the eyes to begin with but, more importantly, she’s a Socialist. The party that dare not speak its name is now feeling emboldened enough to shout it from the barricades they’ve erected in the streets around ICE offices.
I can’t wait for them to centralize her.
I’m only familiar with unions like my dad was in, a pipefitter’s union. He had to picket a few times over about 30+ years. Other than that it meant an annual trip to a local park where we had a clambake and driving to some nondescript building in Boston where we had our choice of eyeglasses as a benefit. Every frame available was of the BCD-variety. I’m sure it helped with wages, over time rules, insurance benefits, etc. They kicked in for his funeral expenses too.
Diesel Fitters
Your mom is quite the pipe fitter.
Im biased, I’ve worked and overseen Security on many “labor disputes”. Caterpillar, Bridgestone / Firestone, Hasbro, Overnite Express, Detroit News (for those that remember, that was us flying newpapers around in helicopters) McDonnel Douglas (sp?), ADM, Cargill, Peabody Coal (that was fun one). numerous small names..
I seen the “union” mentality of entitlement and corruption and know it to be prevalent among the organizations. Dinosaurs. Not needed anymore. In it to enrich the hierarchy while getting pennies on the dollar back to the worker. Its a SCAM
Mr. Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away.
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
When I was on the board at the contractors’ association about ten years ago, we came to the bargaining table expecting the carpenters union to be asking for a wage increase, which we were prepared to take a strike to deny (we were in the middle of the worst recession since the thirties), and instead of asking for a wage increase, they informed us that their pension fund was underwater by millions of dollars. If every carpenter eligible to retire at that time did so, they were already $2M short.
Not our problem, boys. We paid into it on behalf of the carpenters for over fifty years. It was yours to manage. You fucked it up.
Tomswifty, do you prefer the John Prine or the Jim and Jesse version?
The only one I’ve heard the is John Denver cover from 1973. I’ll look up the others.
John Prine wrote it and was the original performer. Jim and Jesse covered it in the seventies. I didn’t know John Denver covered it.
I prefer the Jim and Jesse version mainly because of their awesome harmony, but the Prine version is great too.
I find it quite remarkable that in all of these Supreme Court cases the democrat judges are so disdainful of the constitution. It’s almost like they’ve never even read it.
Heh.
Anthony Kennedy announced he is going to retire.
The Left is going to batshit!
Wow. Kennedy quit.
Liberals are going to go apeshit.
Kennedy to retire from SCOTUS. Flaming skull and Drudge siren alert!
LOL batshit / apeshit, it’s fucking awesome.
I don’t know whether to expect riots or suicides. Maybe suicide bombings.
Hahahahahaha
The photo at Ace’s is magnificent.
Hhaahahahahaha…FU unions. You’re simply money launderers. It was a good gig while it lasted you smarmy thieves.
Tired of Winning yet?
*I was thinking the same thing, BroCav – the Left may start jumping out of windows like it’s Black Tuesday.
Pffftttt… I’m sure he knows full well who it will be.

As much as he has disappointed me a few times, I nominate Trey Gowdy.
As much as we need him in the Senate, Ted Cruz.
The only thing good about the insanity of the left is watching the level eleventy!111!!!!!!1111 predictable crazy.
On the other hand, listening to the left say bullshit like, “Trump needs to nominated someone center left to the SC so we can have balance!” make me ragey only because the GOP Rinos are the type of bullshit artists who would do just that.
WRONG, DUMBASS!
I don’t know if it’s my computer or Ace’s site but when I go over there, it’s all fubarred…as in first picture is so huge, the rest of the blog it whacked.
Anyone else having the same issue?
Trey Goudy??? Trey Goudy??????? He’s a ***t!
Ted Cruz is available and would get an appointee placeholder by Abbot.
Ted Cruz.
I am, Beasnsnsnsnsns.
Cruz would be a great pick!
Not sure how his campaign is going but there is rumor some guy is going to Perot him….and the dem wins.
LOL, Ewok broke the margins…
Pretty sure, too, that the shitheads in the senate would love to get rid of Cruz, so they may be on board of voting him off the island to the SCOTUS.
Anyone else having the same issue?
Ace blew the margins like he was Hotspur’s Mom.
It’s a “living document” doncha know!
Sorry if someone already linked this…no question, mental illness:

Maybe Trump should nominate Roy Moore first – just got give them someone to block. Then when they poo poo Cruz, he can call them obstructionist.
well, I pressed the post button at the wrong time!
I never cared if the dems called the republicans obstructionists. You’re damn right that’s what we want to do. And the dems do too. Unfortunately, we have that POS McCain and that dick licker, Flake “on our side.”
Haha, as my brother said, Ginsburg will die waiting for a Democrat president, and the media is gonna get Trump reelected.
Here’s my shout out to the lefties who will go crazy (I’m paraphrasing your favorite President), “We won.”
Almost typed that myself.
Ginsberg doesn’t look like she’ll make it the rest of the year, much less his first term.
Trump’s going to get 3 SCOTUS picks in his first term.
Is that precedent setting?
you know, those Never Trumpers really had a point. We should have voted in Hilary.
It’s really quiet on FB. Too quiet.
Democrats all over the country:
They are getting their arses kicked so bad they are going to exercise a nuclear option……They have to. Media Arm is being quelled, Lawfare Arm is being diminished, Electoral Arm isnt looking real good for them. Cant bitch about economy or a war. Wants to argue about non-citizens “rights”. They will probably pivot to the case in Pittsburgh with the Police shooting the kid running away. Its tailor made for them. White cop, black kid. It doesn’t look like a good shoot, but they will point to it and claim it happens all the time and Fuck da Police!
Fun Times! At this point Im optimistic for my kids future, I figure we are in a win win. Scenario one has this continuing to erode away at their nonsense, and we win. Scenario Two has them lashing out and being put down, and we win.
Ginsberg is an effing disgrace. Sleeping while representing the SC? COME ON!! Either die or retire, both are honorable.
AtC put this up at AoS:
https://bit.ly/2tz4K5g
hahahahhhhahahahaha…Trump should nominate John McCain.
Lefties don’t know their narrative yet. Things are very fluid, and a lot has been happening. It’s deer in headlights time.
Elaine is too old. I want a 40yo circuit court judge no one’s ever heard of who has an autographed pic of Mark Levin.
Everybody better vote in November, because every Dem is going to.
because every Dem is going to.
Early and often.
Not if we drive them all to catatonia before then…
Associate Justice Kurt Schlichter.
How did I miss the ‘last but not least’ hunk up there. Holy cow.
I’ll be in my bunk.
brb
Kurt Schlichter would be awesome.
Srsly, if I were married to Last but Not Least, I’d have 10 of his babies. That kind of hawt needs to be cloned. Frequently.
What is the name of that flavored hard seltzer you all have been talking about?
There are a few brands available, but White Claw OS what I had last. They make a pink grapefruit, a black cherry and I think an orange.
All just a hint of flavor – not overly fruity at all.
The first I had was made by Henry’s (lime was awesome). I think they make a grape, too.
It’s sold in the beer cooler at my grocery, near the better beers.
I’ll have to check that out in store, chi, thanx.
Not sure I’ll like the alcohol in it.
We’re home and we picked up the wiener from Pet Paradise. She was there for one night and her report card graded her very high on affection and kisses. She’s already licked my elbow. I’m in full “No besos” mode. I25 between Las Cruces and Albuquerque is desolate. Oso to Dan: There’s a reason why it’s known as the Jornada del Muerto Trail.
Dan: I don’t speak Spanish.
Oso: I still can’t believe NM doesn’t require NM history in school. In Texas, I couldn’t go to HS unless I passed TX history.
Wife is thinking of starting a business of her own based around our giant outbuildings and storage unit auctions.
I should schedule a talk with Scott to consult.
“It’s sold in the beer cooler at my grocery, near the better beers.”
You mean dey put dat fru fru stuff next to the Bud Lite!?
Ted Cruz wants Mike Lee nominated.
Oso, you got a new doggie!!!!!????
Ted Cruz wants Mike Lee nominated.
Is he a white nationalist with a history of oppressing LGBTBBQWTF? Because he will be if he’s nominated.
Mare, nope. MaryAnn will be 15 in September. She just acts like a new doggo after the bully alpha AKA Ginger died.
Oh, shoot, I get your comment now. Dropped off doggie while traveling and what not.
She loves Pet Paradise. She was playing with a Bloodhound and two Bassets when we arrived to pick her up.
For those of you that don’t live in New Mexico: Blake’s sucks!!!! For those of you that do, the burgers may be smaller but remote locations are better than Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Breakfast is still too potatato
I’m going to try to watch PBS Newshour so you fine folks don’t have to subject yourselves. If the meltdowns are even half of what Twitter looked like today, it may be worth it.
Is your teevee still intact, chi?
I am logging off. Getting tired of being accused of being a racist. Getting ready to block in real time former Morons.
I always love hearing how MaryAnn enjoys her Pet Paradise.
Husband’s birfday is today. I made him chicken and dumplings, and made chocolate cake with chocolate icing.
When I step on the scale tomorrow morning I have no doubt that one little piece of cake I just ate will gain me those six pounds back.
impeach foetee five bishes!!!
i lurv maxy water!!!!!!
she’s one of the best things to happen to congress in at least 100 years
the fact that someone that fucking stupid can be elected to congress shows just how awesome a country this is
Colonoscopy prep. Ugh.
Thank goodness for my Squatty Potty (seriously – my legs are too short to touch anything other than my toes on the floor….)
good luck T
I only made it through about 15 minutes before my buddy stopped over, beasn.
He’s a nice guy, but doesn’t under the concept of “I’m a little busy right now.”
He’ll still just plop down in a chair in my front yard and stay anyway. Expecting me to hang out & chat.
I’m the halfway point on his dog walk, so he rests here, talks and such. Usually I don’t mind, but sometimes, it’s too much.
(Three days in a row, Mike? Really?)
Hope everything comes out OK, TiFW.
https://www.miamiherald.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/dave-barry/article1928847.html
Sox have the Angels number this season
Thanks for that, Jan 😅
we’re all racists here oso
Jam….stupid autofill
I’m not racist. I just hate the fucks that call me that just because I dare to point out their cockassery.
Thanks, CHI – I’ve had several of these now (after my GI surgery), so I’m used to them.
The prep liquid is the worst part.
And the doctor’s prep instructions have you drinking it twice in one evening.
The instructions with the prep say NOT to take it all in the same day.
I’m also supposed to call my healthcare provider of I have certain symptoms of too much fluid loss.
Those same symptoms are listed as the most common side effects of the prep liquid.
The ultimate irony is that you aren’t supposed to start your prep until an hour after the doctor’s office closes for the day.
colonoscopy? sounds like a job for taco bell
There’s a highly paid professional being paid to answer any calls you might have TiFW. Ask them something completely unrelated to your prep or the GI system and see what happens
Colonoscopies are a scam.
I’m not racist. I hate everybody. Myself included most days.
Storage unit auctions?
I’ve thought about attending some of those. They were probably a lot more profitable when antique furniture had value.
Banglar van got a new floor tonight.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/32328/republicans-are-forbidden-la-plastered-nazi-style-james-barrett
I saw the real thing at Dachau. Showed that to lib co-worker just to watch him splutter.
There was a video of a reporter harassing Maxine Waters, asking her where Republicans would be allowed to eat and if they have to sit at the back of the bus, but I can’t find it now.
Where are the restraints, Scott?
They are all over the place.
Strap bucket was still in the driveway.
Cuatro ordered.
Banglar van got a new floor tonight.
Very cool.
Now all you need is a disco ball and and pole. Is Bridget the Midget still touring?
If you google “Who founded the Catholic Church”, it answers Prince Henry the Navigator. Hackers or Google being evil?
Hope all goes well, TiFW, and that nothing is wrong.
love my cuatro
Salty salty tears and howls of impotent rage. Not tired of winning.

Colonoscopies are a scam.
Yeah, well….
I’m getting the trifecta this time – colonoscopy, endoscopy, and stool sample testing – because I’m anemic for no good reason, going on several months now.
It’s probably just an ulcer from all of the Aleve that I took after this last knee surgery.
I do remember the surgeon who took out part of my colon in 2015 commenting that he was shocked to get test results back that showed no evidence of even precancerous stuff in the part that he had taken out.
He was sure that he was looking at cancer, but nope (the lab ran the tests a few times to be sure).
Oh, and just an FYI – the next time anyone has to have a colonoscopy done, you might want to drink a plain Route 44 slush or two from Sonic (with no syrup added to it) the day of your prep.
That stuff goes right through you, and takes things with it!
And it tastes a lot better than the prep stuff they give you.
TiFW, are you on a blood thinner? That’s what’s causing my dad’s problems, but he’s still taking it.
Men are scum, I won’t deny
May you be derp-faced the day you die
And be successful in all your lies
In the wintertime
In the wintertime
When we get down to it
You wanted to
