Good morning, and welcome to the Dunkirk edition of Hunky Hump Day. I finally saw the movie, and there was plenty of HHD fodder (Easter eggs, not so much). So let’s get started.
I was looking for something appropriate for France and found this.
Now for the hunks.
Cillian Murphy.
Redhead for Carin, Jack Lowden.
Too many tats for me, but nice bod on Tom Hardy.
James D’arcy.
Fionn Whitehead.
Not in the movie, but a classic hunk to close out the poat.
Maybe some Kenneth Branagh next week.
Thank you for your attention, thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week, and y’all have a good day.

Good morning
Picking Paula and Ben up from the airport this afternoon. After warm Florida weather for the last week it’s gonna be a tough transition to Maine’s spring time conditions.
Over under on how many times I’ll hear “Honey, I’m cold”? The statement is usually made in such a manner to suggest that the environment is under my control and I, for some reason, have restricted access to warm clothes, blankets and the thermostat. I love my wife, I love my life and I am the luckiest man alive.
Dogs were stirring at 0430. Nature is coming alive and there’s a lot of animal noises out there, mostly birds. Maybe their keen ears heard more than I did or maybe they’re just being a pain in my arse.
I am certainly sorry I missed Pups Birthday!

You know Trump is a really weird guy. Pretty gross, kinda boorish, and has an ego the size of his buildings. But goddamn if he isn’t the best preezy of my lifetime.
Obama seems like a sad joke. I mean, he always did, but even more so now. He was the last gasp of the faux elites. And a perfect way to end the gilded age.
I can’t disagree with you, MJ.
I think it’s telling how much Trump’s kids love and support him. Very interesting considering he’s divorced their moms and moved on and doesn’t seem like the “let’s play catch” kind of dad.
2 hours hiking and 1 hour in the gym every day. That’s a LOT of time – does he work?
wakey wakey

I wondered about that too
Weight loss instagrammer?
Say what you want about Trump, but imagine if Cankles were prezidentin’ the past couple of years? Ugh. A significant block of people voted for Not Hillary.
Joe Biden has to be kicking himself about not running in 2016. It was Hillary’s turn then apparently and now the #Metoo movement and the newly emboldened socialists has transformed him into one gigantic groping meme.
2 hours hiking and an hour in the gym is a dream come true.

Perfect. I’m going to take this comment to the Argument room, because it honestly encapsulates the feeling of many Trump “supporters”. They attack us as if we worship the guy. No.THIS. This is why we support him. We don’t love him. We don’t love how he talks or tweets. But we love what he’s doing.
damn, guy crawled over the line and still finished in 3:38? Must have been cramping, that’s a pretty good time, isn’t it?
I’ve seen the rest of that story. Missing from the NY Post article is his hormone replacement therapy (guess which one).
Haha, Danny, Joe, and Coreen will love that.

They are messing with you. Elliot constantly barks at the front door. It’s a ruse to get me to open it.
So you’re saying that T treatments will help, leon?
Ask Stallone.
We had a standoff this morning at my house. 5 Canada Geese versus Moose.
Him at the end of the dock barking, and them going back and forth taunting him.
They are messing with you.

That’s more likely. Star never wants to move and she was up on my side of the bed in my face. Rather than test the old girl’s bowel and bladder integrity I opted for the early wake up.

I thought the same thing. Those changes that are unbelievable are usually pretty fake. As in, a former world class greco roman wrestler has 2 knee surgeries and turns into a marshmallow. Then BAM! 6 months later he’s the hulk.
They leave out the first part of the story, usually.
Say what you want about Trump, but imagine if Cankles were prezidentin’ the past couple of years? Ugh. A significant block of people voted for Not Hillary.
I said in November 2016 that I voted for Trump solely because he wasn’t Hillary. Keeping the Clintons away from power was the most important thing. Anything conservative that he did after that would be gravy.
I fully expected Trump to be a liberal NE Republican, and I was ok with that because, again, Hillary. I did not expect him to be the most or second-most Conservative president in my lifetime (depending on how you compare him to Reagan). I don’t know if he’s actually conservative, but I suspect that some of this is driven by spite for the people who used to suck up to him turning on him. He knows to dance with what brung him.
It’s not high enough for kayaking. There is still about 2 feet of phragmites showing, and that’s where every spider in the swamp is right now.
You don’t want to paddle through that.

I think a lot of people, especially on the left, think we love Trump the way they loved Obama. Not really.
I do like him. Don’t mind his tweets. But it’s really about results. I’m not a fan of NY culture. The in your face brashness.
But the fookin results are pretty impressive.
Reagan was a classically smart guy. Meaning, his generation, if only high school graduates, were all well educated. Great readers, good writers (well constructed thoughts on paper and ability to use the English language well in its written form), geography, civics, history, and math up through algebra. Excellent skills in just about anything. They could do things.
Reagan was a seriously intelligent guy.
Trump is intelligent but not like Reagan. His ego and desire to be successful is working for regular Americans. I think he studies a problem and takes a common sense with a business acumen approach.
Like Alex said, “he knows to dance with what brung him (sic)”
I have seen him humbled by Evangelicals who support him (as we know, he’s no Evangelical) and I think he understands we actually needed him. He wants our honest adoration for a job well done. I’m willing to give it to him if he keeps it up.

Agree 100%
Although, shoot, he could actually be saving America.
If he accomplished nothing other than keeping cankles out of the Whitehouse, he has my gratitude.
How can evangelicals support a thrice-married vulgar businessman?
Because thanks to him Christians can celebrate Easter in Mosul.
Bakers aren’t forced to make wedding cakes for gay marriages.
The US isn’t funding the slaughter of babies around the world.
And Israel has a strong ally again.
Is what Trump’s doing conservative, or is it just what an honest problem solver would try to do to deal with an insane and dysfunctional system? Or is there even a difference?
No difference. Generally, conservatism is the opposite of “insane and dysfunctional systems.”
The left looked at that fake Obama with his arugula and pant creases and his suits on a thin and un-muscular body and he was clean (and whatever else that idiot Biden said) and he became whatever those dumbasses needed. It was stupid, googly eyed love. Obama did nothing. Accomplished nothing and was a true empty suit.
We absolutely see all of Trump’s warts (in HD) and Big Macs and don’t care because he gets shit done.
Very different to me.
And BTW, thanks for all of your kind words yesterday, and your humorous remarks. I like telling that story.
conservatism isn’t afraid of change, as libs think. It’s keeping control of things that shouldn’t be in government, individual choice, etc.

Thanks for sharing it. The sex scene was vulgar though. You need to cut that shit out.
I couldn’t eat dinner. Missed taco night. Damn you.
uh huh, sure. Like you would eat a taco.
That’s one of my standard lousy jokes when putting clubfoot casts on infants and they audibly pass gas: “Taco night again”?
He might want to polish the volcano scene a bit, too. I don’t know, add an animal sidekick? Kids love the animal sidekicks…
Wow, someone attacked Michael Knowles (conservative) at UMKC with bleach. he was arrested, and the idiots in the crowd were chanting “hands up don’t shoot”.
Wisecracking robots.

Nobody told you they were fish tacos?
I’ve checked with Hollywood and they’d like to replace you and HB with a gay muslim disabled couple.
An elderly gay muslim disabled couple.

Xactly. They aren’t initiating him into their church. But he is protecting them to do what they want to a certain extent. THAT is what we’ve needed. Someone willing to draw a line and say no more.
____________________________________________
No more.
Did you mean draw a line and say no more?
Or draw a line and say “No more.”?
/writes letter to Prezz Trump and asks him to send Hotspur to a sanctuary city
I thought he already lived in one.
If I were AG Barr, I’d say, “Ummmm….I changed my mind. No report for u.”
Over at the Mothership, OregonMuse nails it.
Also, people need to actually SEE the daily taxes they pay. Buried things.
I’d eliminate the federal income tax and instead impose taxes on the states based on their share of the national population.
If California has 12% of the population, then it should cover 12% of the budget. Let the state figure out how to raise the money.
One time years ago in an exercise in teaching about the government, I had our bookkeeper get cash out of the bank to pay the guys on pay day. In the first line, they received their gross pay. In the next line they paid back their SS, then in the next line they paid their FICA, then FUTA, then federal withholding, then state, etc. In the end they were all like, “DAMN!”
I told our CPA about it later, and he said, that it was actually illegal. Withholding laws state that the employee can never actually be in possession of the funds.
When I think of that old, stoner, communist, moron, multimillionaire shyster, Sanders telling us, “Yes, you need to pay more taxes to pay for my bullshit schemes” I want to puke.

Eff the law. Another shit deal. They know if the worker has it, they sure as shit don’t want to give it back.
Essentially the government puts a gun to my head and makes me the tax collector, so it’s all hidden in plain view.

Ditto thinking. He has said as much too, not that long ago when he talked about being loyal. …you support/ed me, I will continue to return the favor.
Though, his inauguration speech was a big FU to all the f*cktards sitting behind him.

There were so many pandering, dummy, globalist, assholes behind him I hope he f*arted in their direction.
Beasnsnsnssns, has little beasnsnsns figured out when she wants to get married and if it will be big or small?
mare, mid October. She is meeting with the priest later this afternoon to get it all set up.
Big or small?

Same.
When he gave that speech, watching his body language/inflections, I was like ‘damn, he means business’. He earned a little more of my respect — the first being him beating Cankles like the rented mule she was — all on his own.
mare, I think she’s got about 75-80 on the list. The plan is a church wedding and then either a brunch or lunch immediately after. No DJ or band or anything fancy.
The one thing my daughter is firm on, is her desire to pinch pennies. She prefers saving most of the $$ we offered. Unlike my goddaughter who was also offered, by her parents, a buy out….who is opting for the huge blow-out wedding. (she’s getting married in September.)
Wanna see some cool shit? Military Times has a article out about the New “Enhanced Night Vision Goggle”. This is the 3rd iteration of the ENVG and its pretty fookin cool. Check it out. One of the things is does is gives the soldier the ability to see and shoot around corners with minimal exposure. Its been tested and is entered service last quarter and I think the Corp is getting it this quarter.
Oh, and instead of a traditional wedding cake, she’s talking about a donut ‘cake’. Though if she does opt for a wedding cake, it will be one of those ‘naked’ cakes adorned with flowers. I could make that with a Duncan Hines mix (probably the only mix with no dairy).

Dummy, she’ll wish she had that money later. Money towards a house, to work on a house or just life.
Or porn.

Where will the Hostages be seated? And where will we be staying?
Where will the Hostages be seated? And where will we be staying?
A) We’re renting a party RV to park out front.
B) See ‘A’.
Waiting for Paula’s flight to land and rather than pay for parking I’m parked at a local college 5 minutes from the airport. UMA Bangor Campus. At some point Dow AFB closed and the surrounding area used the old buildings. I drove around the campus and I could have been on any military base in America based on the buildings and layout.
I’m gonna take your Mom out to Maine and Bangor.
Hahaha, The ESPN 30 for 30 we’ve needed
Moose would make an excellent ringbearer.
Plus, getting Erin exposed to a wedding…
win/win
When my younger daughter was getting married my grandson was the ring bearer. My other daughter, his mom, a bridesmaid, had already gone up the aisle with her husband, one of the groomsman.
So he was the last one to go before us, but he was too scared to go by himself. I kept telling him to go but he just froze.
Eventually I had to pick him up and carry him to the front, then go back to get my daughter.
As I walked up the aisle, I proclaimed to the crowd that I was the bearer of the ring bearer.

Haha, I saw that happen at another wedding. Great crowd pleaser!
Then here is the next trip.
Later that evening.
No fair! Those wedding pics are too nice for me to savage! That’s just playing dirty…
Why weren’t you wearing your dress, HS?
Another way of looking at eternal life
That was before I met HotBride.
Great wedding photos Hotspur.
Thanks for not sharing any from the “Consummating The Marriage” set
Actually I had met HotBride, but we hadn’t started dating yet.

What are the projections for donations for the rebuild? I thought it was a billion in a week as of yesterday evening. Pretty cool those developers contributing. Said they put 5000 plus hours into their version of ND within the game keeping it historically correct.
Will it be historically correct or politically correct?
Assassin’s Creed was basically history as written by woke conspiracy theorists, so that’s not entirely comforting.
My stuff launched today, should be at ISS tomorrow.
Meanwhile I will mail a package to FDIL tomorrow and hope it gets there by Monday.
Do you get a mission patch?
You should get a mission patch, your stuffs on the mission. You should get a patch even if they don’t give one. How much stuff have you sent aloft?
Only if I buy the NG-11 from spaceshop. There’s no budget for one for just my own little project.
How much stuff have you sent aloft?
17 different experiments, if I only count the ones I worked on before and after flight. Add 5 more for post-flight only.
18. I can do calculus, but I can’t count.
It took abstract algebra and number theory to get counting and arithmetic back after I learned calculus.
I’ve had an intern working for me since the end of the shutdown. I gave her a list of what of a certain class of materials had already flown, and said go research what else is out there. She found two more. I said see if we can get some free samples in exchange for flight data, and she did. (I’m serious when I said I have no budget.) She has prepped them, thermal vacuum baked them, weighed them, measured their optical properties, and chosen which ones are flight and which ones are backup.
It’s fewer samples for me but the world for her.
Better make sure you give her a patch.
I’m pretty sure I’d want a patch…..
If nothing else, I’m going to make sure she gets a 50th anniversary Apollo shirt. Those look cool.
I’m just saying…mission patches are kewl…..that’s all….and you should get her one cause that’d be cool and that would make you cooler than you already are if that’s even possible……cause your already cool……cept they don’t give you a patch……which is not cool.
Scott should do an eye color test on astronauts. I guarantee you he is right. AOC should weigh in

I need to start taking online math classes again. I could probably sign up for discrete mathematics in the fall, and differential equations in the spring…
