Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
My current favorite song, from a zombie musical. (Language warning)
Now for the hunks. Mr. RFH and I have been binge-watching “Red Dwarf” and soon discovered that they attempted an American version in 1992, with today’s Easter egg as Holly and this guy as Lister. (It went nowhere.)
Other HHD fodder today.

-9 here in Lapeer and still have energy.
wakey wakey
Remember when I said Dan Crenshaw (rep from Texas) was shaky and couldn’t be trusted? Look at Ace’s side bar. He’s an attention whore douche. No comma on purpose.
The Easter egg looks like the actor on Fraser. Forget her name but she had a British accent, don’t know if it was real or fake
Yeah, I thought Crenshaw was one of the good guys but he’s bought in to the GOPe platform and can’t be trusted to do anything but give the occasional “tough guy” sound bite as cover while he fucks people over behind the scenes
Jane Leeves. Not sure if it’s her or not but she has an uncanny resemblance if it’s not. Born in ‘61 and got her start as one of Hill’s Angels on The Benny Hill Show. That show could never be produced now lol
Nailed it, Jimbro.
His over the top and yet lame campaign video was typical sound but no fury.
I LOVED The Benny Hill Show!
We’re at 14 degrees currently. When I look at the nationwide weather map the cold front dips into the center of the country rather than the northeast so we have the usual cold not the deep freeze a lot of you are getting
Global Warming has frozen the country.
–Everyone on the left
MJ – it’s like you don’t understand how this works. DIdn’t you see The Day After Tomorrow?
Global warming/ climate change has made the weather UNSTABLE.
Science motherfucker. Do you speak it?
Weather was always stable before the peasants had freedom of movement and cars and stuff. We must have a return to serfdom to save the planet.
If we’re returning to serfdom I’m totally getting a Plague Doctor get up with the cape, staff, hat and the spectacular mask
If we’re going all Fimbulvetr, I’m going long on battle axes.
jimbro caught Jane Leeves before me. Frasier’s brother’s girlfriend.
I love how the left’s science comes from movies.
Fahrenheit 9/11, Inconvenient Truth, etc
it was 1 this morning. Starting above zero, quite an accomplishment lately.
Jam was asking about cryptocurrency last week and I stumbled across this site while reading about a crypto coin being pushed to firearm dealers to circumvent the restrictions banks are applying on them.
https://coincodex.com/
I had no idea there was that many different ones. Staggering number and they’re all looking to become the “Next Bitcoin”
Fimbulvetr
Sounds like a made up word to describe a nordic butt lover
dogecoin is my current favorite currency
I should have bought Dogecoin the first time I laughed at it.
BTW, give Parler a try again. interface is pretty cool.
I like mewe, but i wish the pictures could be hotlinked.

/turns on metal music
https://www.guitarworld.com/news/heavy-metal-lowers-blood-pressure-and-reduces-anxiety-according-to-new-study
Tried it one more time, but I’m going to have to listen to angrier music.
I mean, not Anthrax angry or anything. I’m not a psychopath.
Yes you are.
If I am, it’s only because my kids did this to me.
Nevertheless.
didn’t obey the 3 kid limit
It’s your own fault.
She is Jane Leeves. She’s pretty funny as Holly.
I waffled on the pic because she’s flat, but I thought the one button was sexy.
This one isn’t very angry. It’s their rap hoe-down. Don’t listen to this at work unless you have headphones or the coolest boss ever.
Not kidding about the language warning, but that’s actually the point of the song.
Brand spanking new Gojira. Out today. just now.
I waffled on the pic because she’s flat, but I thought the one button was sexy.
Not every man enjoys tits the size of Montana. Some of us are more discerning in our taste.
But if you’re a fan a creative swearing and the words “rap hoe-down” have you intrigued, give that one a listen
God damn Carin, that shit is disturbing. Are you sure you don’t need some kind of therapy or treatment?
Wow Car in, that drummer.
The drummer is just amazing. I know.
When I saw Tool in Chicago, Justin was on the side stage watching them.
I don’t know why but I’ve never liked the Telecaster body style, and especially the head. It just looks … not enough, I guess.
I understand they’re not the usual type of stuff you see at The Ark. But probably fewer women in comfortable shoes at the show.
The body is too chunky and the head is too thin. I think that’s it. The proportions are out of whack. I know a lot of people swear by the sound, but I don’t care for the look. That’s shallow, I know, but that’s how it is.
The drummer’s timing is nutso, and the tone sounds fantastic.
There’s no context to this video, probably just waiting around for an interview to start, but this is not how most people sit and wait
https://rumble.com/vdwa0n-not-for-public-view-biden-interview.html
Nothing new here, just further confirmation of the obvious decline
Tightest metal band in the industry, and probably because of Mario/ the drummer.
I thought the story of how Kamaltoe took the call with the French President instead of Joe sorta concerning.
I liked the Gojira video, but my lasting impression is “I miss being able to go to museums”!
My second oldest heard the French national anthem for the first time yesterday and was surprised at how violent it is. I realized I’ve never actually known the words, so I listened after and holy crap, he wasn’t kidding. The only anthem I know of that talks about children getting their throats slit.
Drummers?
Neil Peart
Phil Collins (yes, that one)
Both of them from 38 Special
Def Leppard (you do that with one hand!)
I waffled on the pic because she’s flat, but I thought the one button was sexy.
Not all men enjoy tits the size of Montana. Some of us are more discerning in our taste.
Drummers?
Gene Krupa
Buddy Rich
yes to both
I second Buddy Rich.
Does the power go out during storms in your neck of the woods?
I can’t decide if TX people are experiencing something normal for the first time or if it’s unusual because of circumstance or what.
Montana Tits
They went in heavy on wind because of subsidies and signalling by all the power companies, then had a once-in-a-century cold snap after they’d allowed their grid to become heavily (25%) dependent on the giant fans.
The lesson should be obvious, that even in a hot state like Texas, windmills cannot be relied upon for electricity. This lesson will not be learned. Expect more wind farms to be built to “increase reliability”.
When we get ice storms (freezing rain) we get loads of power outages. Especially if the storm is accompanied by any wind – then it is a fucking nightmare. Trees get coated with ice, can’t stand the weight, and go down everywhere, lines cut, crews can’t get in to repair the damage – it’s a fucking catastrophe. Happens about every three to five years.
Danny Carey. Neil Peart. But yea, Mario Duplantier. Of course, you can’t say someone is a great drummer w/o people throwing out the “OH YEA – BUT THESE GUYS WERE “””THE””””” GREATS”. As if saying someone is good at X, you’re insulting everyone else who ever did X in the course of human existence.
Saying Gojira’s drummer is really good actually has no bearing on other dummers being good. And it actually isn’t trying to list anyone as the GREATEST or ranking them at all.
ed their grid to become heavily (25%) dependent on the giant fans.
that # represents all their “renewables” not just the fans. From what I’ve been able to find.
Sorry, giant fans and fake leaves.
Future windmills are in the pipeline and probably couldn’t be stopped even with a Republican controlled house, senate and executive. The blades are at least 70’ long and are transported one at a time by oversized trucks with a parade of pilot vehicles ahead and behind. They can fuck up a busy intersection for long periods of time while trying to make a corner. There are organizations in the hill country and probably elsewhere ginning up political opposition to further encroachment for various reasons. Aesthetics being one and the fact that they’re all being installed by huge out of state energy conglomerates that don’t even try to be fair when it comes to figuring property taxation and royalties to the land owners.

I missed the last big ice storm around here in 1998. It was yuge, power out for days, weeks for some people. The lady I bought this house from said it was off for 10 days around here. I was up in the White Mountains of NH that summer and the areas where trees were felled by the ice were still obvious. 20+ years on I’m sure they’ve recovered.
Our power companies come by with a bucket truck and chainsaw crew every year or two and clear the lines by the driveway. A few people learned their lessons.
They build the blades at an old Maytag plant, and all of them go to Northern Iowa on the interstate where I go home. All summer long, in sets of 3. There’s probably thousands by now, in Iowa.
Sounds like Rush is gone
ok crying now. ugh.
ugh. I’m really sad. UGH.
ugh, gonna have to avoid twitter and facebook. The ugliness will be epic.
Damn, even the themesong is gonna make my cry
They’re playing his voice and I will always want to be able to hear it.
If you want to hear some quintessential Gene Krupa look up Sing, Sing, Sing from the 1938 Legendary Carnegie Hall Concert by Benny Goodman.
If I could go back to anywhere in history it would be January 16, 1938 at Carnegie Hall.
conservatism will never be the same.
It better not be ugly. I will unfriend anyone who says anything negative. And I NEVER unfriend anyone.
Damn
Rest In Peace, Rush.
You inspired millions, and there will never be another you.
oh it will be, Car in, just plan on it.
They’ll never allow a voice like his again.
well put, timbro
They’re going to play just clips of his all day. Can they just keep doing this for the next four years?
Not only did Rush inspire but he educated.
He gave conservatives the information they needed to stand up to the liberal bullies. He analyzed situations and correctly predicted motives, outcomes, and consequences.
He inspired people to not give up, but to keep fighting.
When I first started listening to him it was around 1993, and he would begin his program with “America in Exile” then state the number of days since Clinton took office, because at that time the democrats controlled it all – White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court.
Then things brightened up in 1994 when the republicans retook the house.
I became conservative around 1992. Right as his show was really getting popular. Coincidence? Probably not.
I’m a “rush” Baby in that sense. Born again, I was. Ugh. I just can’t help but thinking right now that “we” can’t do this w/o him.
Ha ha ha …. I remember the America in Exile stuff.
Plus he’s the one who turned me on to smoking cigars. I still have the Cigar Aficionado edition with him on the cover somewhere in my War Room.
I’ll smoke one for him tonight.
He was one of the main reasons we got the house in 94, and why Clinton can take credit for a successful economy, thanks to Newt Gingrich and fiscal responsibility.
haha, that’s awesome, HS. He would smile at that one.

Remember, the hate you see directed at Rush is really hate for you.
Never submit.
Never quit.
Never disarm.
They want you enslaved or dead.

They’re playing a bit on Mitt Romney – Rush is tearing into him. lol. SUCK IT MITT.

Lol. You should all aspire to have the worst people on Earth treat you like this when you die.
It’s how you know you drove them absolutely insane while you were alive. It’s how you know you won.
Greatness has died. I’m sad. Really sad.
Trump spoke about Rush, on AOS post right now.
People are disgusting. Went to see the Trump comment on Rush’s passing and cannot believe the comments. Thank God I dumped twitter . It’s a sewer.
Hemmer referred to him as Mr President. Some at Fox are still respectful
never read the comments, especially today
Someone made my block list on FB today. A first.
When he called himself a lovable fuzzball, he really was. From what I understand from people who know him he was a wonderful guy. Polite, respectful, generous.
what’s the difference between block and unfriend?
Twitter is off. Wow, even some “conservatives”.
I remember listening to this, and tearing up a bit

Rush Limbaugh on December 23:
“The day is going to come folks when I’m not going to be able to do this. I don’t know when that is…. I want you to understand that even when the day comes, I’d like to be here
unfriend means you just don’t follow. Block means they can’t see anything of yours, follow you, anything.
What are “conservatives” saying, Jay?
some of those miserable fuckheads from The Dispatch, the Bulwark, and other sorts are calling him a bigot, and basically celebrating.
Cementing their position in the ranks of never conservative, never will be.

Ok, gotta use this for now. It keeps me signed in. @@.
Saying that he and RBG are roasting in hell, and “both sides” bullshit.
Buh bye, fucking Hawkeye fan.
and that’s exactly right, leon. I think I would.
Ok, fixt.
Was he trying to be funny? WTF?
he’s making commentary about both sides being the same, like The Bulwark, the Dispatch, Jonah Goldberg do. Fuck him.
Theres a link to his Hawkeye bile on AOS. Not polluting our piece of shit blog with it.
“Complications” from lung cancer. I wonder what happened 😦
When you move to Austin because you want to benefit from the Texas lifestyle but you don’t want to be around conservative rubes you’re an asshole.

Turning TX blue, one windmill at a time! some windmills generate power when the weather is ok, and some twist in the wind come voting time.
I listened to Kathryn’s intro and announcement just a bit ago. I don’t know how she managed it.
someone on twitter said she sounded like a robot, no emotion. I said I sounded very similar when I read my father’s obituary at his funeral, and maybe he shouldn’t be a miserable person about it.
My dad gave flags to veteran’s families at their funerals, with an honor guard. I asked him how he did it. He said you only have to hold it together for a little while, and that’s easier than what they are going through. So true, and so wise. That’s how I got through it too.
Of course she sounded like a robot. Ga. People are dumb.
If by dumb you mean vile & hateful, then yeah, they’re dumb.
RIP, Rush.
I need to vent for a second.
What. The flying fuck. Is wrong with Texas?
Of all the states in the union I expected to have a better handle on basic contingency and emergency planning, Texas was at or near top of the list. And then…and then…
What. The. Fuck?
Is it possible – juuuuuust possible – the Texas hype is as hollow as every other line of bullshit we’ve been fed over the past couple of decades?
Because, DUDE.
Just…dude.
The English used to be pretty serious types too.
Our only hope now is Florida Man.

Except for outliers, I think people said about RBG death- rest in peace. Many may not have liked her or her politics (I was one of them) but it was generally, RIP and prayers for the family.
What I’ve seen linked at Ace’s and whatnot generally much of the left is being vile, mean and hateful towards Rush and his family.
Texas is California except ten years behind. No, make that 5.
Brother Tim, what are you referring to?
If you are surprised that a State that rarely gets snow, doesn’t have equipment for it, and even more rarely has below freezing temps for a few days and therefore cannot provide the electricity to heat the WHOLE STATE FOR A WEEK, then yes, I can understand your surprise.
I mostly held it together at work. We go to lunch at 10. I ugly cried. The Rush TV show is what brought my dad over to our team. A life-long D🐀. The Clinton video at Ron Brown’s memorial service.
Brother Tim, what are you referring to?
He may be referring to the idiots in the “Oil & Gas State” investing in a dickaround like wind power.
Maybe he isn’t, but if I were him, that’s what I’d be referring to.
Hotspur, if that is what he’s referring to, I agree 100%. This is the bullshit that happens when you give into eco dick faces.
Oil and gas underground, enough for all, nope let’s use costly, inefficient, wind turbines.
Yeah, that’s mostly it. That and understanding that just because something doesn’t NORMALLY happen that doesn’t mean it NEVER happens and that NOT HAVING A PLAN for when it DOES happen and A QUARTER OF YOUR FUCKING POWER GENERATION GOES OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW is so far beyond unforgivable that THE LIGHT FROM UNFORGIVABLE WON’T REACH AUSTIN FOR ANOTHER THOUSAND FUCKING YEARS.
And I’m supposed to trust Texas as the nucleus of a “sane America”?
Especially when the putative reason for going with unreliables is?
CLIMATE. FUCKING. CHANGE.
Which implies that CURRENT CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE IN PLAY IN THE FUTURE.
Provided ANYONE ACTUALLY BELIEVES ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT.
Fucking idiots.
I mean, damn! You know that “If I Were The Evil Overlord” list of things to do or not do? Where it says you show your plans to a six-year-old and if they find any holes in them, you ditch the plans and shoot anyone involved in drafting them?
Yep.
it is 14 out.

32 degrees warmer than yesterday.
*puts on leon’s cargo shorts
Warm enough for shorts, you got the right idea.
25 here. Nice.
I’m sure Texas will form a multicultural, multiracial, multisexual?? group to investigate the power outage. Much money will be spent. They will determine their comrades on the public utility regulation board did nothing wrong and rose to meet the emergency no one could have anticipated with bravery and wisdom. And then they’ll pay for more wind turbines…..
Since the snow came, my wife spends all her time looking through the window. If it gets any colder, I’ll have to let her in…….
Green energy virtue signalling/sweet sweet federal dollars are only part of the problem. in Texas, a lot of the talk has been about the lack of follow through on winterization plans, with ERCOT (Electricity Reliability Council of Texas- ha!) saying that winterization is expensive, and the (voluntary) plans are not always followed through on by the power plants. Its not just the wind that failed- the nuke plant in Baytown had frozen pipes too, and went down.
Tldr: Bureaucrats suck at doing their job.
TIL that if you tell the Robo callers you drive a 1978 Gremlin, they will not offer you a warranty.
Texas is not immune from sucking up federal money. Show me the state that is and I’ll call uhaul.
South Dakota, I guess.
*wonders how many frozen pipe bull whips P46 has shoved up the glory hole … right now*
You’re thinking of chocolate starfish, Jam. Glory holes are what never got closed in Lansing even while churches, theaters, and restaurants were.
I think somewhere around late ‘89 I first listened to rush. He would have been on wabc or wor. I was a commuter student at the time. Worked nights (heh) went to school days.
Correct, Pendejo.
He paved a pretty good path for freedom. So let not your heart be troubled carin – there is always another on the way.
That’s the cool thing about freedom. The seeds have already been planted across the globe.
The vitriol from the left just gives another data point from which history can draw.
By their fruit you will recognize them.
And in my increasingly more maudlin moods I know that sometimes a cleansing fire is required to kick start an ecosystem of beauty.
Re : Texas and fed money – it’s the fiduciary responsibility of the state government to claw back as many of the extorted fed tax dollars as they can. IMO.
At least some of that corruption cash was returned to tax paying Texans.
In other news: there seems to be an increasing swell (heh heh) in momentum for the ousting of Mario’s weak seed here in NYS.
From a biological perspective I find it fascinating that a plagiocephalic sperm was able to successfully bind to a polar body and produce Andy cuomo…. wonders never cease.
Nature is truly amazing.

Hannity doing a great job remembering Rush
RIP, Rush. The moment I heard Kathryn speaking, I knew. Really bad timing to be listening while driving, trying not to cry, and trying not to spook the gate guard.
Newt giving him credit for 94, just like i said.
FPOS power!
It’s really hitting me that he’s gone, now that I sit and listen.
I guess Gen Honore is the one stuck on stupid now.

“New York Replaces Gifted Test for Elementary School With Lottery
-Change for fall 2021 is due to concerns about pandemic, segregation; long-term process to be decided”
WSJ article title from this morning. First two paragraphs:
“New York City’s Department of Education said children will be admitted to elementary school gifted-and-talented programs this year by lottery based on letters of recommendations from preschool teachers, instead of standardized testing.
Under the change, prompted by the interruption of the pandemic and concerns about racial disparities, teacher-recommended preschoolers will be enrolled in the lottery in May.”
Reparations bitchez
Private school or homeschooling is the only way. The split continues.
Teacher crossfit friend said she hoped the state would cancel all the standardized tests this year, because the kids aren’t prepared for them.
uh … the point of the test isn’t supposed to be preparation. It’s supposed to be a check on their progress.
No one wants to talk about the fact that school teachers suck at homeschooling.
I keep thinking we’ll waste a generation of kids because of OMB but the truth is they were doomed already. The parents that want to raise their kids a certain way will do so and the others won’t.
Wait. Am I supposed to be doing a post today?
Ok I’ll do a post today.
We’ll have an entire generation of kids that have never read Shakespeare, Chaucer, Aristotle, or Augustine, so we’ve got that going for us.
Hell, they won’t even have read Aristophanes. And that guy had some jokes.
