Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I scheduled this one ahead of time because trying to poat or even comment here is difficult when RoamyDad is being nosy.
Thinking of Scott, Laura, and Pupster.
Now for the hunks.
Birthday boy Michael Landes.
Too much ink, cute puppy.
Borrowed.
I need a boat drink about now.
Silver fox.
Last, but not least.
Thank you for your attention, thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the links every week, and y’all have a good day.

So … how many times have we heard people say that they stopped drinking and they dropped those extra pounds , etc. Well, so I stopped drinking in prep for my Ragnar (because, you know, I may die) and …
I think I must not have drank enough for it cessation to result in weight loss.
I have to say I’m disappointed.
Remember how Hotspur said he stopped drinking and lost weight?
Well … he’s an asshole.
Stopping hasn’t affected my weight any either.
Possum and I both have some kind of sinus infection. She’s missed two days of school and I’m going to have to reschedule an optometry appointment.
A friend of mine stopped drinking … and those pesky extra pounds just fell away.
I’m unfriending her.
Good call. You don’t need that kind of person in your life.
Exactly.
As much as you cardio and do your cult thing, Im wondering how much you really had to lose to begin with? I quit completely for about 10 yrs and then allowed myself to have a beer on the very rare occasion. Then I consumed four beers at a BBQ and the next day felt like I had been run over by a train. Seems my ability to metabolize was non-existent (that’s what it felt like). Point being, use care when returning to consumption cause your body may rebel.
I’ve survived another trip around the sun. This year I would like a job as my birfday gift. I have a interview tomorrow for a have gun will travel job. Pray for Oso.
I didn’t stop drinking entirely, and I’m still a fatass.
GOOD LUCK TeeRoy.
as for the weight – it’s just nagging extra pounds. Which i had BEEN LIED to into believing would just drop away if I stopped drinking.
I’m going to have trust issues.
I agree that the remake of Battlestar Galactica was much improved. I even liked the change of Starbuck from male to female. And the President to female, also. But that was because of the acting, not just because of a chromosome pairing.
Happy Solar Circumference Anniversary, TeeRoy.
I see in the NYTimes (no link, too much trouble trying to access) that New Mexico is toying with the idea of free college for residents. Want to bet that residents will also include people without the New prefix in their place of origin?
I see Ed Buck is still up to his old tricks.
just sweep it aside, Car in. Nothing to see here.
The Argument Room is quiet now. None of the libs will talk anymore.
Feliz cumplee anus, TeeRoy.
Quit yer spanish talk, leon
Yea, now that their bomb thrower is gone …
It isn’t nice to call him an ass on his birthday.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Jenkins. I hope you’re back to making money soon and enjoying your paychecks for a long time.
It isn’t nice to call him an ass on his birthday.
When is it nice? I’ll mark it on my calendar.
I thought he said nice ass. Huh.
Joe Biden is a genius! To increase women in the workforce, he’ll just double the population! What a bold move!
Mornin’ whackjobs. I stopped drinking on doctor’s orders last year and didn’t lose a pound. Granted I barely drank before, but still.
Yeah, the BSG reboot was pretty solid for three and a half seasons aside from some squirrelly stuff here and there. That ending though…yeesh.
(Seriously, if you couldn’t figure out I was a fan, you ain’t paying attention.)
I haven’t read this through yet but thought some of you may be interested..

I liked the reboot, but found it hard to believe that there were no human civilizations anywhere else.
The Cylons killed them all.
I thought he said nice ass. Huh.
And I thought I’d called him a buttmunch. Espanish is complicated.
if you barely drank, why did the doctor tell you to quit? medication?
There was a strong implication that civilization was stuck in a repeating cycle of it rising somewhere, developing Cylons, Cylons revolt, refugees flee to start anew elsewhere while Cylons settle and eventually wipe themselves out. They didn’t really last long enough to branch out much.
Yeah, medication + not a good idea in general with depression.
Though honestly I was probably happier when I drank a little.
I got the cycle thing, but the issues is that humans don’t work like that. They should have found little outposts of human civilization scattered all around: settlers from the last revolt who chose to branch off, humans who fled the colonies in the past, etc.
If they’re going to reboot a sci-fi show, shouldn’t it be Buck Rogers’ turn?
Well … he’s an asshole.
I only lost 20 lbs.
Probably liveable worlds are rare–they didn’t seem to run into too many during the course of their flight. (This is probably realistic.) The fact that there were twelve Colonies probably indicates (a) they tried to do exactly that (b) they settled all the available real estate and (c) they still got whacked.
Also, Kobol/Colonies humans aren’t quite the same as (our) Earth humans, so a slight handwave is justified. (Honestly I agree with you, but that would also have seemed too much like the original series so I understand the creative choice.)

Excellent point. Genocides, even done by robots, are never complete. Even when the Olmecs and Aztecs were wiped out there were still individual families that were either too isolated or who assimilated.

Wasn’t the tech level of the setting sufficient for the construction of O’Neill cylinders?
Pretty much. They had at least one ship which rotated to create gravity.
Aren’t O’Neill cylinders basically achievable by our current tech level?
Wasn’t the tech level of the setting sufficient for the construction of O’Neill cylinders?
I imagine so, but that apparently wasn’t something that was done. Honestly we’ve probably put more thought into these issues in this thread than the show’s writers and producers ever did.
Happy birthday, Teeroy!
The writers were all Hollyweird lackeys with arts degrees.
Your mom loves my O’Neil cylinder
Aren’t O’Neill cylinders basically achievable by our current tech level?
I believe so, the barriers are economic in the most basic sense: energy and materials being put into place. As of the present moment, the need is far from sufficient to justify the cost.
If a race of robots was destroying your civilization by attacking your outposts on habitable worlds, it seems like it would be prudent to move offworld to a star system that had none.
I put my O’Neil cylinder in your mom’s hand.
Grrrrr….. Refresh.
Does Kamala Harris take it in the pooper? [_]YES [_]NO
We’ll need to check the poles.
You could even have the Twelve Colonies as the most advanced, largest human civilization due to various factors, with a scattering of smaller civilizations and outposts beyond their borders, and the Galactica following this trail across space to Kobal, while observing the Cylons continuing their genocidal war against these human remnants.
Hmm, Attack on Saudi Oil fields a suicide mission? glenn beck theory that attacks are to bring the second coming
Happy birthday, Teeroy!!!
Fun fact, the original BSG was based on the history and lore of the LDS Church, of which its creator Glen Larson was an active member.
…this required less license than one might expect.
20 pounds is a lot, Hotspur. That’s real weight right there.
In the event anyone thinks I was shitting you about the LDS thing:

Hoo boy:

I had heard that before, BC. Makes sense.
Yeah, I knew about the LDS thing.
I find it a somewhat interesting that the attack on the Saudi Oil Refinery and all its implications seems to have fallen off the MSM radar.
I’m terrified of stepping on a scale after last week’s foodstravaganzaOMGCornPudding streak.
Worth it, though.
Yesterday I harvested a small patch of huge beets and roasted them up, did up the greens just now with lots of garlic and pepper. Still have loads of awesome tomatoes and green beans and other goodies. Back to eating healthier/ normally for a while. Until the next unhealthy spasm hits.
Happy Birthday, TeeRoy!!
…right after this egg sandwich…with bacon and…goat cheese….
File today under, “Lord, free me from gluttony, but not yet.”
speaking of gluttony, chicken sounds better than salad today
Chicken salad. Best of both worlds.
Right? A little nip in the air this morning and I’m thinking about a big pot of chili con carne with cornbread.

I’m terrified of stepping on a scale……
==========
You think you’re terrified, just think about how terrified the scale is……
Nah, we have freight scales.
The new tagline is triggering me.
about a big pot of chili con carne with cornbread.
——–
Needs a little Corn Pop
Is there a dif tween chili and chile con carne?
Con carne translates to with meat. I can’t imagine Chili without meat but there prolly is such a thing.
I believe the name of the dish is meant literally. Chili (as in a mess of spicy peppers) with meat. Pollo con arroz is just “chicken with rice”.
Hmmm.. Chili without meat is prolly frum de debil. Ive heard of chili without beans, but meatless?? I just always assumed that chili contained meat as a essential ingredient. But, then again I am a culinary heathen and not smurt bout those things. I’ve never seen a Hormel meatless chili…..
I have a interview with Caterpillar next Wednesday in the Quality Assurance dept. Yay me. Least Im getting some nibbles on my resume, worried bout my age and demographic being a factor in the screening process.
tell them that you identify as a 26 year old. Done.
Chili doesn’t have beans in it. Sometimes beans are added to chili, but that’s culinary malpractice.
Just don’t put the you-know-what in. It’s a crime against God and man and would probably summon BCochran.
beans are delicious in chili. Fight me.
I like beans in chili.
Let’s take him on, Jay. I think we can kick his ass.
Of course beans belong in chili. I would be willing to bet that beans were in chili before meat was introduced. Beans = more availability and sustainability than meat.
Teeroy is historically accurate. Pretty sure it used to be just a bean dish, because, Mexican.
Americanos won’t stand for any kind of stew that isn’t majority meat ingredients. We just won’t do it. It seems so pointless and it makes us sad just to think about it.
If God did not intend beans to be in chili, He wouldn’t have given Mexico so many of ’em.
worky worky
We’ll have to make the fight more even, HS
I’ve got no time for bean-swilling heretics.
Y’all can keep eating your bean stew, it’s just not chili. Can’t have onions or tomaters in it, neither.
That’s just silly.
I don’t think chili means what he thinks it means.
Do we have any real messicans here? Oso doesn’t count because she’s just white. (I’ve met her. She’s whiter than I am.)
No, I mean some real messicans.
Soy Messicano.
Well, as messican as Beto.
Soy un perdedor
I’m an Irish-German mutt from Michigan, why would anyone give a fig about my opinion of chili?
Soy un perdedor
Yo tambien.
Apparently baiting deer is now illegal again in MI. Because being able to line up a safe shot on an overpopulated nuisance species is overrated.
Can you put deer meat in chili and still be within the rules?
Yes.
As long as the deer doesn’t eat onions, tomatoes, or beans.
Are onions not allowed either?
J’Ames is no fun at all.
Per leon’s rules of chili™

They aren’t my rules.

Pfffftttt..those are the rules for Texas Red™.
Whew. For a minute I was going to actually c change my mind.
Anything else is just a spicy stew.
Looks like ace is stealing Leon’s Spanish schtick.
Ace is perpetually skiing in my wake.
Seriously, he seems to consume all the same media I do but doesn’t get to it until like 2-6 months later. It’s eerie. Like he lurks here or something.
Happy Birthday, TeeRoy!
New Mexico chile is just the peppers without meat or beans. Red or green. Chile con carne is chile with meat. Pork, chicken, beef, venison, whatevs. Anglo Chili is with an “I”. Chili cook offs are mostly whipipo chilis. I prefer beanless Chili. Really good with cornbread. I like chili Mac 5 way.
so, fried beef thickened with masa? whatever.
It’s National Cheeseburger Day!
Thanks to all for the birfday happy happy.
There was a period many years back when I would link something in comments and he would then post about it within an hour or two. It was really spooky. (I know it was probably already on his radar, it was just hilarious how sync’d up our reading was at the time.)
Happy Birthday T Roy.

I have been checking out lakefront homes to rent near us.
It’s actually a pretty inexpensive vacation.
Gratci Pups Gratci.
This afternoon for my birfday I got……..to powerwash the vinyl siding on the North and the East side of my home. It wuz so much fun! I just love standing in the rain. See the problem here is that my better half and I share the same B-day and she wanted this done so she could “decorate” for Fall & Halloween……so you know what they say ….Happy Wife, Happy……. you may not get intentionally poisoned at dinner.
go here now. An old friend actually went to look at this house go buy (a old friend of my mom and sister). It’s below 7 mile close to Woodward.

go buy – to buy.
200 for 3k sq ft? are there still bodies in there?
Im gonna pass. The fields of fire are too constrained. On the other hand, Im certain it is a target rich environment.
so what if Trudeau wore blackface?
That’s almost as bad as the Swinger House that was linked her a while back.
Looks like the name on the mailbox would be Soprano
Home from Dad’s. Stepmom got home at a reasonable time, much to my surprise. Cracked me up when Mr. RFH asked her if she’d had a margarita on the lake, and she proceeded to list all of the booze she’d had. (She’s staunch Baptist.) What happens at the lake, stays at the lake, I guess.
I haven’t had a drink since Saturday night after pizza work.
I just had half a glass of wine.
Why not full glass?
The Trudeau thing is fucking heeelarryOUS. Eat it shitbirds. Take a great big fucking bite you leftist fucks. Suck it up and swallow like your Mom.
The booze thing Jay. By design or circumstance?
heh, just don’t drink during the week. Maybe a homebrew if I’m bored watching the game.
I have to keep my girlish figure. And by girlish I mean Rosetta BBF model figure.
It’s late, too much alcohol close to bedtime screws up my sleep, and I’m fat and trying to lose weight.

That was a roller coaster ride. First I thought, well that’s a lot of blinding cool silver and white, then I said WOW THAT’S A POP OF COLOR IN THE KITCHEN, THERE.
Then I felt terribly sad that latch-hook rug ceilings is become a lost art, and then I saw the very tasteful and calm blue floral bathroom and laughed until I did a Mare in my pantaloons.
Near the end I was all like, “Whoah. I’ve always wanted to take a shower with a 1/2 scale Michelangelo’s David” and “…they really toned it down on the exterior. You’d never know.”
Deeply enchanted, Rhonda paused.
