Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Some music to get into the Christmas mood. My parents had Nat King Cole’s version of this, and I don’t hear it on the radio very often.
Now for the hunks.
Yesterday’s birthday boy Matthias Schoenaerts.
Oooh, shirtless pic.
Still football season.
Classic.
Hope this one got out of NYC since this was taken.
Last, but not least.
And that will do for today.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week, and y’all have a good day.

I heard a radio interview yesterday on Howie Carr regarding the Texas lawsuit. (Forget who he was interviewing). Either way, he said the focus of the lawsuit was on the rules created by unelected bureaucrats which really ushered in the mail in fiasco. In many instances those new rules were challenged in courts and stood. The missing element in all, if not most of them, was an actual legislative body passing the laws after deliberation and voting to create the changes.
Whether it’s as much of a slam dunk as he thought remains to be seen.

Soaking the venison in milk or buttermilk is supposed to cut down the gaminess. Since I’m new to venison eating, I figured I’d do that .
When I got the deer meat (for letting someone hunt on the property) Pat went on and on about how he hated venison.
He loved it.
If they guy gets another deer, my son and I are going to split that one. I hope he does.
I want to see that fatman movie. I forgot about it.

People need to stop blaming the year and start blaming the people who made the year bad, but for a leftist twatwaffle that’d involve too much inconvenient truth, so they’ll cling to their pagan animism about the calendar.
I never did post that pic, but when I talked to my buddy who saw it he said they were headed SW. Probably just being sent to maintenance. Probably.
everybody hates wild game, until it’s prepared like other meats. It has a different flavor, gamey taste.
Wild turkey store bought turkey. Venison/Elk beef or pork. Old school farm pork current method of raising pigs.
as far as the court cases go, I foresee a lot of judicial ignoring the cases, like has been happening so far. Hard to get a case in court if the judge won’t listen to it.
Yesterday was HotBride’s birthday. (Yes, she was born on the feast of the Immaculate Conception.)
Last night she just wanted to watch something light and silly, so we watched the Dean Martin Christmas Special from 1968, and the Bob Hope 1967 USO Christmas Tour (when we were both 18).
She remarked what different times those were – and for the better. That Bon Jovi filth is just indicative of the sickness and pestilence that has been visited on our society by the “entertainment” perverts.
My parents thought rock and roll was bad, but thank God they aren’t around for this shit we endure daily.
man, this could be the year I told myself I was going to a bowl game. ISU finally in the running for a major bowl, something worth spending a little on.
And it’s gonna be locked down. Ugh.
Bon Jovi has a Christmas special?
The courts? Irrelevant at this point. The opposition won’t accept any court ruling. We aren’t going to accept the theft. My position is that this Texas suit will only succeed in identify the “free” states of the future. The snowball is halfway down the mountain and gaining momentum.
agree with tree rot!

The Biden plan for beating Coronavirus has three parts:
1. Trump’s plan for vaccinations
2. Trump’s plan for reopening schools
3. Non-binding yammering about masks
Thank goodness we have serious leadership at last.

That’s why everyone in Washington hates Trump. He’s stopping them from business as usual of looting the US.
BTW, if anyone is looking for recipe software, Paprika is pretty awesome. Have it on computer, phone, and tablet, everything syncs between them, all updates. doesn’t have nutrition calculator, but should be able to manipulate it to print anything you want, or send via email.
Trump is a businessman, and everyone expects him to be a politician
Perhaps I’m a man of too-modest ambition, but I look at the salary and pension you get as a congress critter and think a ten year stint would do just fine. Groom a replacement, retire with dignity before a loss, and endorse your guy as you step down, then live quietly.
But I’m pretty sure that just says I’m not a sociopath, and am thus unfit for public service.
Bon Jovi has a Christmas special?
I don’t know, and I wouldn’t watch it if he did. I was referencing the thing Jimbro posted.
WTF is Safe harbor day? Just another reason to blame Trump for something? Only news media and leftists are crowing about it.

But you can probably triple that with sweetheart deals and board appointments. Not to mention the sweet jobs you can get your wife and child. Ilhan Omar gave $2.8 million in consulting fees to her husband.
But… I don’t want that. Not if it means any compromise whatsoever on the policy platform that I’d run on. A congressional salary handily pays for my current lifestyle and then some, and I don’t want more than that, I just want to make sure NO ONE can take it away from me or people like me. That’s like a foundational principle of the GOML Party.

Carin can’t hunt a deer, hang it, dress it, and butcher it. She’s too sweet. And also weak and a wuss. Probably a bad shot, too.
OK, time to go to work. Sorry, must go.
*walks briskly away*
Mostly I don’t have a rifle. BUt really, this works out well – he likes to hunt, and I’d like the meat. Its win /win.
As for what I can or can’t do – we all know I can drag a dead deer into/out of the woods. How much more can there be to it?
You can’t borrow my crossbow. It’s too precious to me.
If you’re not using it …
You’d like it, though, you cock it by doing a deadlift partial rep.
Rifle, bow or black powder gets you out there for close to 2 months of hunting. If you have an Any Deer Permit then 100% of deer are potentially on your table. Just tie your dead deer to a plastic snow sled for easy dragging. Probably more palatable in the cool weather with a freshly killed deer than in the heat of the summer after its been swarmed by shit flies for 3 or 4 days.
The deer in my freezer was gotten with a crossbow.
I got my full-spectrum permit for the year, but former FiL hasn’t been in touch and I’m very hesitant to try dressing out my first deer without an experienced hunter present.
Per the rules in MI, you can x-bow hunt in every deer season you as a human are eligible to participate in, and in all locations. I’ve never lived anywhere that rifles were allowed, so it seemed like the best choice for me.
Leon it’s easy. Go out and shot one and give me a call. I can walk you thru it on the phone.
Most everyone up here just gets their’s processed. I know a few who do it themselves, but not many.
Don’t touch the tarsal glands.
Don’t perforate the gut.
That’s pretty much it.
Jam has an unfair advantage
Not talking about the butchering, it’s the evisceration I want to be sure I get right. Slaughter and butcher? No problem, I can take the shot without hesitating and I can separate an animal into primals and smaller cuts for the freezer. Eviscerating is the part where one slip and it’s ruined.
Jam, that’s kind of you, but seems… unlikely to work well.
Cross bows are the shizzle. Quiet. Efficient. Super Accurate to 50 yards.
So, Myley Cyrus can sing
I haven’t practiced in a while, but without wind I was able to put arrows (THEY ARE NOT BOLTS) into a 2″ ring at 50 yards without much trouble. Or having ever fired a bow before.
hmm, I thought eviscerating was the easy part, get the bleed out started
j’ames, take that back. her voice is the product of decades of voice lessons. And that performance was basically exactly he same interpretation as Dolores O’Riordan.
Removing the organs that can cause spoilage (intestines, bladder, lungs, etc), as well as removing the organs that can spoil (liver, heart) that you’d rather eat. After that, you hang it in a cool, dry place for a few days or butcher it immediately if you can’t hang it. When I culled my chickens they went into bags and then ice water within a few minutes. They also had essentially empty guts because I’d had them on only water for 24 hours at that point.
But, that isn’t easy to do. I think there are better singers, but that song isn’t trivial.
My admiration of a performer doing a cover is already reduced. Especially if they phrase, etc, the song exactly. So they’re not an artist, just a singer at that point.
I’m just not a fan of singers. Just singers . They’re kinda boring to be.
A true Crossfitter would run down the deer and make it do Burpees until it expired.
Leon, field dressing a deer isn’t really that hard. There are a number of tutorials online. You can hold down the guts with the back of your hand and run the knife under the skin, slicing from the inside out. If you do nick the gut, it’s not a huge deal, just rinse it with cold water.
416 COVID DEATHS IN IOWA, 4 DAYS!
How many heart attacks?
Cancer deaths?
How many COVID recoveries/non-deaths in that same 4 days?
Oh, noes – John Hopkins owned slaves! I wonder who they want to be the new “name” for his stuff.
I know, Teresa, it’s silly isn’t it?
Guys, I read this 10 times…
So, the chance of someone dying of COVID is roughly 1 in 1000 – about the same odds as a 31-year-old mother testing positive for a baby with Down syndrome.
Obviously, not the same parameters at all, but just an illustration of “odds” and human stupidity.
I closed my youtube tab.
I’m not sure I can properly convey how big a deal that is.
3 more previously positives came back to work today. Last week, management reduced the numbers of chairs in the break room, from 8 to 4 downstairs and 6 to 4 upstairs. On our last break, there was 7 people in the upstairs breakroom. The other 5 were all previously positive. Roamy, I hadn’t heard that song since I was a child. Thank you.

Not to sign in, just to comment. It’s a “New!” feature as I look at the portal today.
I’ve seen a lot of rumblings (not Rumbles) that Crenshaw is a Soros toady. If that’s true, then that speech is just theater to keep the GOP con going with CCP and Soros in charge of both parties.
Pretty sure Crenshaw likes red flag laws, and Amnesty for illegals. Referred to as McCain 2.0.
Real America now has a list of states.
Missouri
Alabama
Arkansas

Nebraska
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Indiana
Kansas
Louisiana
Mississippi
Montana
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Utah
West Virginia
Come on, Alaska, you know you want in on this. Hell, the MI legislature filed an amicus, joining the suit against the state of MI.
You’re missing Texas.
Sorry, I grabbed the list of joiners to the Texas suit. Texas was implied, but I should have seen that and added it.
Pleased to see Indiana on the list.

So , I saved the tongue this year. Anybody have a recipe recommendation?
We’re watching every single version of The Christmas Carol that we own. We own more versions than streaming. Dan is a nerd.
Jam, our tongue master quit. NE
You can add Arizona.
Carve away the taste buds when it’s slightly frozen, then cut small and use it in any cooking that is long and wet, like my dates with your mom.
Good in chili.

Well damn.
I had a Basque tongue dish in Reno where it was cooked with peppers and onions like pepper steak, and it was excellent.
Karmasutra. When life fucks you in all sorts of creative ways.
Your mom charges extra for the basque tongue dish.
It’s worth it.
One of Mr. RFH’s co-workers was with me and was grossed out that I would eat tongue. “How can you eat something that tastes you back?”
Which reminds me that I was going to look for chicken livers the next time I went to the grocery store.
Watched the Starship SN8 test. I thought “Ground’s coming up a little fast.” Ooops. Still a nice flight.

I knew Alaska had it in ’em.
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia now, at least per what I’m seeing.
Roamy,
Thanks for posting the SpaceX link. I forgot they were going to try again today. Almost. Pretty good for a first try.
Don’t eat rhubarb pie.
Are we all waiting?
didn’t see PJM yesterday did we?
couldn’t sleep, in to work
are those states actually in? all day yesterday it was being reported that they were in, but they were actually all sitting on the sidelines, waiting for something to happen.
Just like the rest of the GOP
Where’s my wakey? I’ve got a Saturday Meme poat that can go if PJM is in jail again.
did you check under the door? is there light?
I’ll wakey as soon as I can.
Maybe peej was out after 10 and is now someone’s bitch at the county clink.

Scary that people think this is a good idea for a project
I can see lots of buyers for that!
Should have included the features of the NPC face to make the joke more obvious, but I guess that’d make it harder to pull in the rubes.
That cannot be real.
Parody is hard now-a-days.
It’s nearly impossible to write parody that doesn’t wind up becoming prophetic these days.
Also, it seems more likely PJM would be making bitches of others.
I don’t know what I’m talking about.
My first thought was NPC as well Leon. It’s a real thing, a kickstarter campaign. They’ve had endless ones for different masks and things to touch the icky world out there and spare your delicate flesh from interacting with the environment. I’m not sure who I blame for this happening, the people thinking up these ideas or the customers.
The people that want everyone to be the same, and just fall in line, are the brave ones on the cutting edge now.
It’s just a weird time.

Ending sentences with prepositions is tight!
Most of the time I do the mental gymnastics to avoid ending with a preposition but if the result sounds even more weird I just say fukkit
I switch between wordy verbosity and just plain speak like a normal person writing. Largely based on how lazy I feel at the moment.
I think because of the flexibility of English grammar, and the wide sources of its lexicon (which sometimes includes a grammar oddity from the source that’s nonconformant to standard English), it’s far from unreasonable to do so in limited circumstances, especially interrogatives.
“or of which they were never taught the horror” would have worked too, but would feel awkward and might actually be harder for a non-native speaker to translate.
Let’s face it, there’s “close enough” proper and “the speaker needs to be kicked in the nuts” proper.
George Will is squarely in the latter category.
