Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Current earworm, sort of A-ha meets Michael Jackson.

Let’s see some hunks.
Nice eyes.


Same model.

Fake redhead for Carin.

No one’s had to wear a tie for a while.

Emergency Chris. Chris Pratt, Chris Pine, Chris Evans on standby.

Last, but not least.

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 Hump Day Hostages

  2. Comment by Jimbro on May 6, 2020 6:39 am

    I have a habit of watching the local news for weather and local stories. As I watched this morning and saw the scolding tone of the stories about people who are actually opening their shops and those who merely desire them to be opened and their fawning admiration for people doing modified activities for the “New Normal” I was genuinely creeped out. The story that put me over the edge was the announcement by MOFGA that their annual fair would be a virtual event. It’s held at the END OF SEPTEMBER.
    That story combined with the older guy (mid to late 70’s) who works one day a week for half the year wearing a red hat designed to look like a Trump hat with “Dump Trump” on it just cemented the notion that the ongoing quarantine is just a political operation at this point

    MOFGA = maine organic farmers and gardeners association

    They have a huge fair in Unity last week of September every year. Huge. Given the clientele it’s a lefty paradise. Lots of trust funders walking around with white people dread locks and debating the best way to make nut milk. All their exhibitors for any and all causes are uniformly left wing. Bernie bro heaven. My dream would to have a group of people enter the fair undercover and later assemble while taking off jackets to reveal Trump shirts with someone filming from a distance. It would be amusing to see how much “Peace and Love, man!” would be extended

    The Weekend’s voice is just amazing. His genre isn’t really my thing, but his voice. I remember seeing him perform live on one of the awards shows, and he probably has perfect pitch. So dead on every note.

    Biggest scam in global history:

    In one particularly incomprehensible act, the government of India, a poor country of 1.3 billion people, locked down its people. As Quartz India reported on April 22, “Coronavirus has killed only around 700 Indians … a small number still compared to the 450,000 TB and 10,000-odd malaria deaths recorded every year.”

    I was kind of depressed yesterday talking to a very good friend. I was shitblown that she and her family are all hyped up on “staying home” and “keeping their distance” even from her kids. WTF? She’s not a stupid person. But, evidently, not a deep thinker. Maybe too much news?

    She was kind of aghast that I go to Walmart, Target, Costco, Publix three times a week without masks or gloves. I told her I had a dental appointment yesterday and she was shocked.

    She lives on the other side of Florida.

    I would go places but nothing is open. You have to wait in line to get into Home Depot and I’m not doing that bullshit.

    Home Depot wait line is about 5-10 minutes. My husband has done it a few times because he has projects to do because he’s not sitting around watching TV. Besides working out, he’s getting shit done since this MoFo Bullshit has shut his business down.

  22. Comment by mare on May 6, 2020 9:27 am

    What we did wrong and by we I mean Trump, was get into something without an endgame. A metric by which we say, it’s done this is the threshold where we open up the country completely.

    Just like wars, we should have learned to have a redline and once we hit that, it’s over. It needed to be said over and over and over again so everyone would at least have heard it once.

    Why are we so stupid?

  23. Comment by MJ on May 6, 2020 9:28 am

    All of my neighbors are into the social distancing thing.

    We get together on Fridays and they were VERY CONCERNED that we’d be worried about our 2.5 year old talking to them and mixing with them. I was more concerned he’d flick boogers on them.

    We set up lawn chairs in a big ass circle and either have a drink or eat something. Our Israeli neighbor makes challa bread but puts on gloves etc to cut it up. It’s a nice gesture but we brought cupcakes for everyone that were decorated by said 2.5 year old. Anyone with a kid knows the cupcakes weren’t exactly clean but they were eaten cuz cupcakes.

    They are also VERY CONCERNED that one of our neighbors bought a .22 for her 17 year old for his birthday.

    I try not to judge. They’re still cool people and I enjoy their company.

  28. Comment by Hotspur on May 6, 2020 9:47 am

    This has become a watershed moment in our circle of friends – all lefties. The rule used to be “No politics.” And it stood for the better part of twenty years. There’s loads more to talk about, so we just avoided it.

    But lately, in our Sunday Quarantinis they’ve all become fucking sheep to the slaughter, and very judgmental if anyone dares express a contrary opinion.

    Last time (and it truly was for me) one of them started spouting some cockassery about how China was very helpful in communicating about the virus, and they gave the world all the information necessary to make decisions.

    I walked out. The “new normal” is no Hotspur.

  29. Comment by mare on May 6, 2020 9:49 am

    Good for you Hotspur.

    How rational can you be if you are using actual Communist China dictatorial taking points to state your case in America?

    es. My husband has done it a few times because he has projects to do because he’s not sitting around watching TV. B

    Pat let a bunch of people go at our store to make it through the pandemic, so he’s working a million hours a week. So, no projects getting done here. No major projects.

  33. Comment by leoncaruthers on May 6, 2020 10:02 am

    I haven’t checked what Lowe’s is like. Menard’s is in IN and that county has mandatory masks and no longer does board cutting so fuck that.

  34. Comment by scott on May 6, 2020 10:05 am

    Buying lumber at Home Depot is stupid.

    You have to push the lumber cart the length of the building to wait in line.

    Then you have to push the cart the length of the building to get back to lumber.

    I am exposed to everyone in that line, then everyone in the store.

    Lowes gets all our business until this bullshit ends.

  35. Comment by mare on May 6, 2020 10:14 am

    Our Home Depot has a special line for lumber and it’s got its own section at the front of the store. Weird.

    My husband gets crown molding and baseboard from a smallish place that is soooo much better priced than the stuff at Home Depot. It’s great.

    If it’s $2.15 at Home Depot it’s $1.65/foot at this other place. Better selection and longer boards. Fewer seams.

    The only store I’ve been in since the craziness with one way aisles and number limits has been a Walgreens and I was able to walk right in and move around the store at my pleasure (no arrows). Well, the beer store too. Same deal there. Paula has done all the grocery shopping since I’d be guaranteed to forget something on the list.

    That should be good.

    My guy from India said that he overall approves of the lockdown.

    His rationale is that the health system, sanitary systems, and culture is not at the point where they can handle a real outbreak.

    It’s pretty amazing that he works for me and we live so far apart.

    His overall thought is that because the country is developing (meaning fragile) they need to be cautious.

    My thought was that fragility should necessitate taking risk. In those situations huge innovations tend to happen.

    India has nowhere to go but up. Unless they have huge amounts of internal travel, they won’t be at risk to any plague.

    Even the Black Plague wasn’t actually all that dangerous by itself. Most of the deaths came from a misunderstanding of how it was passing from person to person, and some atrocious personal hygiene practices from some of the heretic groups that were popular at the time.

    Lowes and Home Depot, here on my side of the river have been hopping for weeks now. I’ve noticed no line except to check out with your stuffs.

    Grocery stores have a line, on occasion, only because they’re doing the counting and wiping down carts as they let you in. Which is stupid on really sunny days where those carts were cooking in the sun for however long before being brought in.

  54. Comment by beasn on May 6, 2020 12:33 pm

    I haven’t ever seen a line at Walmart. They have it taped off for one, but I’ve not seen one. They have team members at the door to wipe down carts and to count, but the last few times I was there, those standing there were doing neither. They’re back to being packed.

    Since we ‘officially’ reopened on Monday, the grocery stores had a lot more cars in the parking lot too. Forgot to check if Supercuts had any business.

  55. Comment by leoncaruthers on May 6, 2020 12:55 pm

    Did a quick drive around after mailing some offering envelopes. No lines at Lowe’s here, and the parking lot was pretty full. Little Caesar’s in Granger (IN) was open, and I saw kids playing at a public park unmasked.

  56. Comment by Jimbro on May 6, 2020 1:19 pm

    Chiropractor, predictably, thinks it’s all bullshit. He does a lot of TCM and acupuncture stuff and feels like he’s been treating respiratory illnesses that may have been the’Rona since December.

    He told me a few jokes and the one I hadn’t heard yet was good.

    Zev: Want to hear a joke is coronavirus?
    Jim: Sure

    “WELCOME TO MICHIGAN

    I need to go there after they open and spend some money.

  59. Comment by beasn on May 6, 2020 1:46 pm

    Rush’s theory for why the pols and media are downplaying or ignoring hydroxychloroquine is because there is no money to be made from it’s use.
    I think that is a small part of it, because I haven’t heard anyone from Big Pharma poo poo it. I think the bigger reason is that if word gets out that it is working, which it is, the virus can be controlled and the lockdowns can be lifted….which those pols and media do not want happening.

  64. Comment by Car in on May 6, 2020 2:25 pm

    It was a dark and stormy night. Then this liberal bitch went on this rant about everything being Trump’s fault and concluded that the proof was the “GOP sponsored genocide”.

    I asked her what exactly the GOP sponsored Genocide was , and she then called me a Karen.

    I laughed and laughed at her lying dog-faced pony soldier face and then the unfriending occurred.

    I am obviously the protagonist in this story. I have no idea what the theme is – possibly that all liberals are stupid?

    One time in our early years we were on a road trip, and she used the word boobs. I told her I didn’t like that word. And she asked what I preferred. I said, ‘breasts.”

    She said, “How about bosom?”

    Then we started…

    Tits
    Jugs
    Cans
    Funbags
    Sweater puppies
    Hooters
    Knockers

    We aren’t birders, but we have an old version of Roger Tory Peterson and we write in the margins when we see something new. We were able to make two more notations into our bird book today. Bobolink, and Veery.

    Tried to get a 4-pack of TP. It got substituted…with a 20-pack! Pricier, but I feel like I just won the damn lottery…

    Lauraw, our hawks have had their babies. We don’t know how many, yet. We can hear them in the AM and the momma is no longer on the nest. I don’t think Bitter Lake has a camera, but Bosque Del Apache does.

    Oooo, nice score, BroTim.

    Weird times make for weird pants leg tingles.

    Lauraw, this month’s Missouri Conservationist has a bobolink pictured in it. I didn’t think they stayed around MO for long but apparently some do.

    When I spot a weird bird they’re usually gone by the time I find a bird book

    Oso, our hawk chirren are now two years old. Loved how they’d call for mom/dad to come feed them that first year…or when they’d play with each other in the air…soaring, diving, at each other.

    We get Baltimore Orioles up at the farm, which is two hours north of here. Never seen them here.
    Mr. B. says we have eagles in the back pasture.

    Bobolinks are crazy looking. Impossible to confuse with anything else.

    The Veery was a bit more of a challenge, but this guy wasn’t shy at all. We got to study him twice.

    I win tonight. My favorite Chinese place opened back up, and I’m enjoying some Hunan Chicken. mmmmm

  104. Comment by scott on May 6, 2020 8:19 pm

    Orioles are cool. I think I spot more nests than birds.

    Their nests hang from a branch.

  105. Comment by Jay in Ames on May 6, 2020 8:19 pm

    not good. no fortune in the fortune cookie

    I’ll probably catch the Rona

  106. Comment by Jay in Ames on May 6, 2020 8:19 pm

    Oriole nests are cool

  107. Comment by osoloco11 on May 6, 2020 8:23 pm

    Beasn, a few years ago we were able to watch daddy hawk conducting flying school. So very cool. Mama hawk dive bombed me for paying too much attention to the nest. She dive bombed the coyote that came out of the arroyo first. Mama doesn’t like me.

  108. Comment by osoloco11 on May 6, 2020 8:25 pm

    Before we had smart phones, one of my fav memories was a road runner and a hawk fighting for territory at a local park. Hawk won.

  109. Comment by osoloco11 on May 6, 2020 8:48 pm

    Local shelters are taking temps. Checking sobriety. We had a month of no grifters working the intersections. They’re baaackk.

  110. Comment by leoncaruthers on May 6, 2020 9:04 pm

    A welcome return to normalcy, then.

  111. Comment by TeeRoy Jenkins on May 6, 2020 9:09 pm

    You know its spring when the grifters return to the intersection. You can probably safely plant now.

  112. Comment by Jay in Ames on May 6, 2020 9:10 pm

    huh, grifters in the intersection means no more freeze. Good to know.

  113. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on May 6, 2020 9:46 pm

    My birder brother-in-law once saw 71 different birds on a walk of less than a mile.

  114. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on May 6, 2020 9:47 pm

    ^^^not the zoo, here near my house. I can’t tell all the little brown jobs apart.

  115. Comment by osoloco11 on May 6, 2020 9:51 pm

    Roamy, we have awesome birding opportunities in NM. Dan is cheap. Have I mentioned before how tight Dan is? Bitter Lake is free. Bosque Del Apache is paid. Our trip to the Bosque…Bald Eagles, Cranes, Mountain Lions, and fucking Canadians.

    Homeless people tend to stay home in the winter.

  117. Comment by lauraw on May 6, 2020 10:06 pm

    If you read the Peterson book and how he hits the identifiers, you develop his way of looking for special identifiers. I usually try to flash-freeze into memory the rough size of the bird, shape of the beak, color of the chest, color of the back, and where any stripes or spots are located. Plus anything exceptional like a long or forked tail. I literally say it out loud while viewing them, which makes it easier to recall later.

    The veery was “chestnut brown, lighter grey breast and a little lightness around the eye. Bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a Robin.” I couldn’t see the shape of the beak. That plus habitat and behavior gets you a good way toward the ID if it’s not a really hard one.

  118. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on May 6, 2020 10:09 pm

    My BIL can tell the different sparrows apart by their songs. I recognize mourning dove and Carolina wren songs with confidence, but that’s about it.

    He once told me a certain bird “sounds like a robin with a cold”, wtf.

  119. Comment by scott on May 6, 2020 10:10 pm

    Rainy days too.

  120. Comment by scott on May 6, 2020 10:12 pm

    Robin with a cold is probably a Catbird.

  121. Comment by lauraw on May 6, 2020 10:19 pm

    Hah! Roamy, we were talking today about the time years ago that I heard a catbird (a type of mockingbird) trying to imitate a bluejay and it was the most dismal sick-sounding bluejay ever. And bluejays sound like a rusty clothesline pulley at their absolute best.

    Red-winged blackbirds are probably our favorite because they are a better harbinger of Spring than Robins. If you have them near you, you must know their long reedy trilling.

  122. Comment by Jay in Ames on May 6, 2020 10:29 pm

    I can tell a sparrow from a crow.

    So there.

  123. Comment by roamingfirehydrant on May 6, 2020 10:45 pm

    A friend was so happy about the great blue heron in her backyard, and she took some beautiful pictures. Then she realized the heron was eating all of the goldfish in her decorative pond. Profanity ensued.

  124. Comment by lauraw on May 6, 2020 11:16 pm

    Yah they do that

    Roamy,
    Anitas sister and her hubby have a Koi pond in the back yard, realized they were losing fish to the herons(in Portland).
    Hubby put up a couple wires crossed over the pond hooked to a fence-charger.
    They got a great picture of a Heron after he had had the shit zapped out of him. It was very cool…
