Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Short week for me, with the Labor Day holiday and taking off Friday to go see my dad.
Now for the hunks.
I am intrigued by the new Tom Clancy: Jack Ryan series with John Krasinski. Hopefully they didn’t screw it up the way they did the Neil Armstrong movie.
I think he looks a little like Sean here.
Nice.
Football.
Not football.
Might be Joe Manganiello.
Thank you for your attention, thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love, and y’all have a good day.

Thankfully no insomnia last night.
jack Ryan is good, but characters are the same in name only.
I tried watching the first episode and didn’t like it. Jack Ryan as Washington Hipster Douchebag didn’t sit right.
Wakey wakey indeed today. Well done roamy.
Thanks for the answers Teresa. I’m just trying to have a better understanding. I suppose a lot of it is unknowable.
I slept pretty well last night, but I had a 12 hour workday that knocked me out early.
I had a good sleep too, which is nice because it’s been a few nights – almost a week. School starting, hot nights, etc.
But I basically ate 110 g of carbs and then went to bed.
ugh, that’s a hard thing to face, being incapacitated. I know my uncle knew his condition with demetia and alzheimers, as he had to watch his mom go through it. That was the hardest part, him knowing.
I read a piece last night about people’s varying experience with coma. Some remember being read to. Other’s felt they were living some weird life – walking across the country. Etc.
For some, it was a blink of time – completely blank.
Have any of you read The Art of the Deal? Amazing how much stuff Trump was doing 30 years ago mirrors what he does today.

No, Cyn was the Fire Girl. *sniffle*
I do like that cat wastebasket, though.
Betraying a dog is rotten. Betraying a kittycat is hilarious.
Feinstein just pulled a statistic out of her ass. 1.2 million women killed by illegal abortions in the two decades before Roe v. Wade? I call bullshit.
Is that including the ones that were aborted?
She’s stupid. The 1.2 million number is the “estimate” of illegal abortions. They say “as many as 5000” died. Which means they’re making that second number up as well.
Numbers from here: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/abortion-u-s-five-key-facts-n889111
I loved her “widely owned” doesn’t equal “common use” re: guns.
Anything to further their agenda, facts be damned.
They know the press won’t hold them accountable.
Did I mishear her on the 1.2 million or did she get it wrong?
I’m not listening, but I’m going to bet she got it wrong.
To Roamy that holiday chick is cute.
Nice job!
I’ll bet she got it wrong on purpose.
just noticed that the phone autocucumbered mie comment
Interesting……a plague plane has landed in New York. Ok Ok…thats a bit hyperbolic…..but still enough sick people on the same plane for the crew to report to authorities……interesting times….
*meanwhile a real plague is resurgent in Africa. (file under “shit they aren’t reporting in the MSM)
They are still running with the “The OK hand signal is a white power sign” nonsense. Especially stupid because its easy to track down the genesis of this internet meme….. it was intentionally propagated by some 4channers with the intention of ridiculing the leftists….guess they fell for it, it just took a while.
You’re welcome, Jam. “Recommendations for you” in Pinterest gets funny sometimes, helpful other times.
My Twitter crashed.
Placebo- Meds.
That’s what I’m listening to right now.
Why? Who knows. I never know how I arrive where I do.
“Freebleeding” is still my favorite 4chan hoax.
It’s 4chan’s world, we’re just stuck in it.
This looks promising.
Miss Lindsey had a good moment, asking why they couldn’t have a hearing where the nominees’ kids could be there. That would be asking the Dems to grow the fuck up.
If ten years ago you’d told me that Donald Trump would not only be president, but a transformational conservative president, and that Kim Kardashian would be a reasoned voice for criminal justice reform… I’d have asked what you were smoking.

“Ronald Reagan? The actor!?”
CoAlex, your link reminded me, one of the local historical museums has classes in leatherworking every now and then. Once life settles down (ha!), I want to sign up. I think you make a small purse or a wallet in the class.
I want to learn brain tanning.
Tandy Leather Company stores usually have kits to make simple leather crafts so you can get practice. I met a woman once who sold high end leather to saddle makers and the like. We joked that Tandy was kept in business by SCA members and BDSM aficionados. Often, the same customers.
“Look, I know everyone says that fella’s a great teacher, but come on–he’s hanging around with a bunch of fishermen, a tax collector, a couple of political nuts–I mean, seriously, I’m pretty sure that one woman is a former prostitute! Neither him or his twelve buddies are going to amount to anything, I tell you…”
“Ronald Reagan? The actor!?”
Seriously, they could remake Back to the Future right now with someone going back to the eighties and the joke would still work.
“Donald Trump?!”
Hahahaha, BroCav.
When Blumenthal was nattering on yesterday, I kept thinking of the Bloom County strip where the aliens were performing a Gephardization on Steve Dallas, with the reminder to not leave off the eyebrows this time. I couldn’t find it online, and I’m too tired to go digging through the books.
I watched about ten minutes of hag Feinstein and then had to turn off the television. Good grief.
She needs to come clean about her Chinese spy driver. Did he carry a firearm? Is he still in the country? Are we paying him a pension?
I made my dad a Tandy Leather kit wallet as a teenager. Followed the pattern for carving a design on it. He used it for many many years. I learned leather crafting in the Boy Scouts. I went around to a few of the remaining shoe factories in my home town (Brockton = “Shoe City”) and asked for leather scraps. They were more than happy to give me several years worth of decent scraps. When I got too busy with my education to do it any longer and my folks were downsizing the kids’ shit I asked my parents to donate all my tools to the Scouts.
Regarding death by abortion. I think Rush went over those numbers some years back and the number of deaths by ‘illegal’ abortion pre-Roe was very small.
aww, I was hoping for personalized wallets for christmas!
Jay, you’ll have to settle for a personalized leather codpiece.
But I’ve already got one of those!
This one’s hot pink, with sequins.
Wow, Whitehouse is an asshole.
I can see why the ad campaign calling him a doofus is getting traction.
Name a prominent Dem that ISN’T a flaming douche.
Good news, Sean, there is no In And Out Boycott!
(speaking of douches)
What did Sheldon do, roamy? Heh, Sheldon. Someone is in his spot.
Whitehouse asked a question, then bloviated about how he wanted a concise answer. Whined about how short his time was. Dude, stfu and let the man answer. And how many of the shouting protestors did you give passes to? Lots of interrupting.
I am about to completely lose my shit at Ethan’s school.
I may not be responsible for what I do.
I hope Car in didn’t bring a kettlebell.
A kettlbell. Good idea. I’ll bring a kettlebell with me.
Thanks J’ames.
Name a prominent Dem that ISN’T a flaming douche.
I would say Zell Miller, but he passed away earlier this year. Only prominent here, but former Congressman Bud Cramer. Classic Blue Dog Dem. Too bad the Scoop Jackson wing of the Democratic Party was stomped out.
Loved Zell’s speeches at the RNC. 2000 wasn’t it? or was it 04?
I think 2004. He loathed Kerry.
Car in, what did the school do now? Is this the same what that screwed up Erin’s class schedule?
How much bail money do we have in the H2 fund?
I’ll chip in $20, but only if the headline is splashy.

The Big Ten Network replays their games in a compressed format, every snap and no filler, called BTN Football in 60. I love it, I can replay a game on Hulu Live and see the whole game in an hour. Since I already watched it I have the option to “watch again”.
LOL

Ethan was called down to the office where the numnuts Football coach / “dean of students” met him with the school’s “peace”/police officer. You see, someone had seen him “attack” his girlfriend at the lunch table.
“Are you aware how serious domestic abuse is? you could be in a lot of trouble …”
I pick him up after school (unaware) and he’s in a full pissed-off panic because they said they might suspend him.
Ethan has dated this girl for 18 months, and he can’t even break up with her because 1) he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings and 2) she’s obsessed with him and 3) they’ve know been friends for so long he can’t just sever ties.
They asked her what happened, but you see denying abuse is EXACTLY WHAT AN ABUSED GIRLFRIEND WOULD DO.
Erica took his phone and he struggled with her to get it back. That’s it. At his lunch table with all his friends – NONE of whom were questioned and were … blown away that he was being accused. It was nothing. They fought over the phone and then laughed.
Erika’s friends hate Ethan because she just wants to spend time with him. Ethan doesn’t care if she spends time with her friends – it’s all HER.
The “dean of students” is going to FUCKING APOLOGIZE to my son for the stress he caused.
I asked him if there was anything that could have been interpreted as violent. He said he kinda grabbed her from behind. @@. they were horsing around. Honestly, this guy … I’ve never so much as seen Ethan hit our dogs. Or punch a wall. Occasionally he’s slammed my car door (today, for example- but maybe one other time), but I always yell at him.
My father had a temper (again, never violent) and I have zero patience for tempers that get out of control. I didn’t like my dad’s temper, and actually made him check it when we all lived together.
“Ethan has dated this girl for 18 months, and he can’t even break up with her because 1) he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings”
Divorce after 7 several years of unhappy marriage is much easier.
He’s probably planning to wait it out until graduation and then move out of town.
Fake his own death.
I hope you’re right.
I’m calling bullshit on the NYT Op-Ed by a supposed high ranking White House employee. It was written in the NYT editorial department by NYT editors.
The NYT is in the Fake News business.
Breaking up right now, in light of this bullshit, seems … unwise
I’ve seen a few stories linked today about how Nike is gonna make bank by getting Kaeperdick’s face out there associated with their products. They’re offending the right audience and licking the nutsacks of their actual customers.
I told him no girlfriend right now. Since he’s been accused.
Erika either needs to boot her friends or no more lover boy.
Levi’s went nutty too.

The Dean of Students is probably a cuck.

This song is driving me nuts. It takes me back to about 1980 and I don’t know why.
Does this remind you of anyone?
Clearance Clearwater Revival? It’s killing me.
More Rolling Stones for me. Kind of like Sympathy for the Devil but more twang.
You are close.
I am leaning towards CCR.
It could be the Stones, but maybe a different song?
ChrisP will know.
I was leaning toward Sympathy too. Especially the back beat.
Cute concept on the video.
Scoot,
I do NOT know, but it looks very much like season 2 of “Goliath”, with Billy Bob Thornton, who does not even have to act, as his character is “Billy”, and he can just play himself.
It is filled with psychopaths, mutilators, druggies, smugglers, dirty cops, preverts, and filth.
Billy is in *WAY* over his head and he is too drunk to notice…
Skynyrd?
creedence & van morrison had a stoned baby….
Don’t ever regret parenthood.
Has anyone heard anything from BCochran lately? He was worried about his health last time I remember hearing from him.
