Welcome back to ye olde standard Hunky Hump Day.
In memory of Tom T. Hall.
Now for the hunks.
**waves at Mare**
Might be a repeat.
Mmm, watermelon.
Nice smile.
Last, but not least.
This was making the rounds at work again, worth repeating here for some amusement.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week, and y’all have a good day.

Here’s that Bill & Hill photo someone mentioned last night (with a little something extra thrown in for laughs)

Unfortunately it’s probably paywalled. Opening paragraphs:
“What on earth will Joe Biden say this Sept. 11?
We know what he planned to say. He hoped to use the 20th anniversary to proclaim himself the president who had succeeded in doing what none of his predecessors— George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump —could: end the “endless war” in Afghanistan. The purpose of the artificial deadline was to provide Mr. Biden a dramatic backdrop for the speech he wanted to give.
The bungled exit has scuttled that plan. Worse, it has forever surrendered 9/11 to the Islamist fundamentalists. It is now what they meant it to be in 2001: their day of victory.”
I was wondering how 9/11 was going to go with this …. all this … [waves hands around]
ww
Remember, a good 75% of the left thinks we deserved 9/11.
Iowa has banned mask mandates in schools, but Wells Fargo in DSM will require masks and vaccination cards and negative test within 72 hours.
I think we need to accept vax cards are coming and will be required to live a normal life.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s coming. And republicans will be right there with the totalitarians on the left, cheering it on.
I am required to wear a proximity badge at work. The powers that be decided not to put a badge reader in my building because there are so few people working there. (Max on any given day is 6, I’ve worked days where I’m alone in the building.) Now I am supposed to go to another building where there are more people so my badge can be read, so they’ll know how many people I’ve been around.
My face is going to freeze like this.
I don’t need to accept SHIT MJ.
The vaccine isn’t working. They can’t hide that fact much longer.
Moar booster shots.
It works great if you just get a booster shot every 6-12 months.
(pssst, this is a new kind of flu shot because the virus will eventually just be another form of cold/flu)
But so glad we wrecked the world and killed millions of people because a hungover chinamen fucked up in the lab.
^^BTW – the hungover chinamen theory will eventually be proven true
it’s a numbers game.

Glenn on Biden’s speech:
The camera focused close so you wouldn’t notice that he was standing there, head straight, no body movement. Reading ONLY the teleprompter right in front of him, head not moving side to side – reading from TWO – to make it appear more natural. Completely focused on the words STRAIGHT in front of him, trying his best to merely read the words. There was no proper cadence – the pauses, the emphasis, etc you’d hear in normal speech. And I can’t believe no one has said a SINGLE thing about this.
He read the words, almost unfamiliar with many of the sentences.
The daily pressers are getting to him. He doesn’t have enough time to recover from the drugs and the stress of being in the WH.
Who is Glenn?
Rocketboy was just shy of 10 lbs. when he was born, and he looked like a linebacker next to all the other babies.

Came across an article about a podcast featuring a gun rights lawyer.
His warning? Unvaccinated will be put on the no fly list, then they will use the no fly list to come after guns.
I wouldn’t put it past them.
Sounds pretty racist.
One of the YouTube channels I watch from time to time is “Caspian Report”. It covers history and geopolitics from the perspective of someone in the area of the old Soviet Union, though it certainly doesn’t make excuses for the Communists or Russians. Most recently they did a piece on how Afghanistan became a failed state, and it’s definitely worth your time to watch.
I already knew some of this, though not the full details.

I should note that what happened in the ‘stan should stand as a warning…and not just for events overseas.

I’m still a naive optimist, because I think that even this SCOTUS would slap that down hard.
They better send bachelor’s and bodybags. You think people are just going to sit around and wait when the confiscation begin? Gun confiscation would absolutely positively kick off civ war 2.0 at this point.

Baby birb update. The three finchy babies, flew away last week. Not sure when the dove bebbehs hatched…probably end of last week…but there are two of them. They are wearing mom as a hat, she is sitting so high. The one time she was gone, I got up on the ladder and checked them out. The one facing me just blinked.
Also discovered another nest of smaller finches under the deck.
The only joy in these days of insanity.
I’m liking animals so much more than humans these days.

Pretty sure he was not hungover. Pretty sure he was paid to ‘leak’ it.

Heh. Big babies are so FLUFFY!! My son was just 9.2. On daughter’s due date, she was 10 # 7 oz. Good thing she came two weeks early (8lb 12oz).
And like your son, both grew to be tall and very thin.
My niece and nephew were something like 7 lbs. I held them and asked, “where’s the meat?”
My daughter’s friend’s baby came two weeks early, earlier this month. On the same day her sister went in to get induced. Cousin twins!! Both boys. Their brother is also expecting a boy with his wife, due in a month or two.
I am so jealous. Can you imagine, three new grandbabies in the same year? On top of the two you already have? In a family full of anxiety disorders.
And I can’t get a one out of my kids. Meh.

I’ve heard speculation that the whole thing was a PR stunt, and this was before they reversed course.
Tumblr went from a market valuation of $3B to <$2M, there was no way OF was going to punch itself in the dick that hard without a literal gun to its head. You'd be better off starting your own bank.
So the new NY governor just confirmed that there were 12,000 more deaths than previously reported.
Cuomo is a white male, he might actually end up facing some consequences for mass murder, despite D.
He shouldn’t have resigned, he’s screwed now.
This is Harris removing a potential rival for 2024.

Good luck Jay. If you can’t enjoy the ride just think of England.

Truth is an absolute defense against accusations of slander. I’m yet to meet anyone of Irish descent who gives a fuck about people thinking we’re short and ready to fight.
I think the leprechaun thing was meant as an absurd conclusion to political correctness about 10 years ago.
And now its happening. LOL
MJ, just an update – I still don’t have a replacement for you. Its looking grim.
I was up from 3:30 – 5:30 this morning with insomnia/stress. So … if anyone knows a runner …
Isn’t there anyone in the Moron hoard? Cripes.
Plus – the effen Navy PIR is now two weeks away, and I still have zero idea if I’m going to be able to see my son. We have a hotel reserved, but if I can’t see him I’d like to know so I can cancel.
This is that WSJ article I linked this morning, completely stolen by another site
https://stiltonsplace.blogspot.com/2021/08/numbered-daze.html
NRA cancelled their convention in Dallas. I read yesterday that a lot of exhibitors were cancelling their booths and keeping their reps away.
So much for “2021 is when things get back to normal!”
Some exhibitors have bailed on the upcoming knife show in Vegas. No idea if the buyers will show up. We’ll find out in a week or so.
Not all of the NRA thing is CCP virus. LaPierre and his cadre have soured a lot of the (former) membership.
Jay, get a copy, post on YouTube with title something like would apply to a how to or recipe.

Jay’s poating high as a fucking kite.
I’ll soon be testing the notion that drinking hot tea in warm weather cools you off. It’s frigging hot out there. Moving away from the fan results in instant sweat. 91 degrees out there.
15 studies now show natural immunity (previously having covid or been exposed) is far better than the vaccine.

I usually tune out during those Patriot Mobile commercials. Might be time to start listening closer.
A friend sent me a picture from an article put out by our mutual hospital employer with “pronoun buttons” to wear around work.
Islam is right about pronouns.
Back when I first started this gig I’d make rounds in the morning and return to the nursing station to write notes in a paper chart (as was the custom at the time). Often times all the chairs would be occupied with nurses during change of shift. Every now and then I’d make the old joke of “There was a time when the nurses would all stand up when a doctor entered the ward” which was funny because even the older nurses 20 years ago didn’t live in that era. I’d generate a few laughs and more often than not just write my notes standing up near a solid object with the chart on it. I’m pretty sure I’d be on the list if I made that joke now.
Joking is illegal. Gulag
I bought the wrong steaks today. Text conversation with Dan. Back and forth. He said “Talk to the meat guys”. Meat guys told me about the steaks they buy. Poor man’s ribeye. Chuck that after cut they have a 6 pack of steaks. Dan wanted the 4 pack strip steak. Meat guys were going to cut the Prime into 4 for us. $15.98 a pound. Dan wanted the $11.98 a pound strip. We aren’t allowed to buy marked down meat. Even the markdowns were over $40. I guess they had full price strip, but the cutters recommended the chuck. I’m in the doghouse.
Chuck is perfect for braising/stew. The only cut I like better for that is bottom round.
Ok, this has to be the … most … soft ball news story on something that would be MUCH bigger news if they weren’t trying to cover for BuyDun.

I think the best part?
“Mike Serban, who works with refugee families in the district and heads the Family and Children Engagement program, was the first person to hear about the students’ predicament.
Serban contacted to Miyashiro last week and told him that multiple families had reached out to him concerned that their students would lose out on classroom instruction due to being in Afghanistan, according to the Times.”
Its a “predicament”. And they may miss out on classroom instruction.
Really. That’s the concern?
I mean, they SHOULD be worrying about whether all the kids are properly masked. amiright?
Leon, all the meat guys call the pack “Poor mans Ribeye”. This is the cut they buy. Matt and Felix asked Dennis and George if they were buying the pack, before I bought it.

You are out of your fuckin’ tree. Bottom round is fit only for shoe leather and repairing holes in boats. Fuck is wrong with you
I’m guessing they’re deploying nearby in case things go tits up
I’m not sure where we have any installation nearby though
Qatar maybe?
Jimbro said “in case.” I guess that’s a phrase you can put in there.

For a disease that’s not especially deadly, not a pandemic, and already in the background for causes of death. Anyone who thinks this is about health is fucking retard.

They joke, but right now this is the only working model for fighting globalists to the humiliating defeat necessitated by hubris. It didn’t have to be this way. They could have been patient and bode their time, but OMB scared the shit out of them and their only response was to ramp up the timeline. Now, we wait for Nemesis.
Top round’s bitch.
What can I say? I appreciate a good bottom.
On another topic, is it just me or has Yen Puhsacky aged 10 years since January?
I am no butcher Oso, but the chuck roll (a big chunk of the neck) has delmonico steaks, and denver steaks in it. Depending on the muscle in the roll, as well as having chuck roast and chuck steaks. The delmonico comes from the same muscle as a rib roast it is just smaller at the neck I picked up a few chuck rolls yesterday and plan on breaking it down into steak, roast, and and the rest as ground chuck the whole thing was 5.5 / lb
A school trip to Afghanistan? And here I worried about Germany.
Ooof, got the cold shoulder from Mini-me’s boyfriend’s mom again. I’m a tenderhearted fool.
Heh,
I was going to say I didn’t have any school trips my school must have been lame, but I remember thinking several times, “why would I want to go to “X” with “Y” they are lame and it is lame” Admittedly I was in lame clubs so like Latin, Math, and AV clubs but oh no I was not lame at all. Heh
I had school trips to Charleston, Columbia, Gatlinburg, a fantastic tour of Epcot, Disney World, Sea World, St. Augustine, and Daytona Beach, and an odd trip to Louisville, GA, where they were really, really nice. I don’t think their schools were large enough or funded enough for a band, so we marched in their Christmas parade, then played more Christmas songs at the town square. They cheered and clapped for us like we were famous.
Those are all cool places Roamy but I think St Aug is the most interesting. I am 100% biased.

I’m pretty sure she goes home and knocks out a half a box of wine and a half pack of cigarettes every night.
My Grandmother took each of her Grandchildren to the UK when they reached 15yrs. No school trip cause I didn’t attend school. My grandmother was cool as ice. Ardent anti-communist. Taught me to read. CS Lewis at 8, Tolkien at 12, Solzhenitsyn at 14. Product of the depression, in her family for a time her father would eat first so he could get enough sustenance for the next day, then everyone else. Then WW2. Lost a brother and a uncle. Another brother came back from fighting the Japanese and was so fucked up he couldn’t sleep anywhere but his home due to his extreme night terrors. She and my grandfather divorced in the 70s and she worked and lived independently and alone 40 yrs. Heh, heh she would stand behind when I played dumb and just slap the hell out of the back of my head until I straightened up. My mother was 15 when she had me and she was so young that my grandmother played a larger motherly role than traditional, or maybe that’s why they’re called Grandmothers.
Passed a few years back,
Thanks TeeRoy, Awesome memories.
My Zekester had a GTCS last night. I had the wits enough to video him for the Vet. He has had a few episodes in the past and my Colorado Vet asked me to video him if I had a chance. I have an appointment on the 10th, I hope there is something that can help him.
My pup purchase is put off for a while. Work is delaying me. I want my new pup to know my awesome Zeke.
Bottom round sous vide for 48 hours and slice thin. Have to cook it slow or it dries out terribly.
we used to have round roast for Sunday dinner with yorkshire pudding. The only way it was half way good was if it was sliced paper thin
I have to try yorkshire pudding, never made it. Made it with oil and sausage in cast iron, and that’s delicious. Want the real thing.

WSJ Markets newsletter:
“In less than two weeks, impoverished El Salvador will become the first country to adopt bitcoin as a national currency.”
Interesting. I haven’t heard a peep about this other than reading that blurb. Admittedly, other stories have dominated the news cycle recently.
Bongino is predicting what he calls the “Dipsey-doo Fliperoo” on the Afghanistan withdrawal where both the administration and the lickspittle media will depict the withdrawal as the greatest success since the Berlin Airlift. They keep saying (up until last night anyway) that Americans are free to come to the airport for a flight out neglecting to mention they risk their lives to get there. So his prediction, and others, is that Biden and Psaki will say any Americans left after the last jet leaves ignored the request to leave or wanted to stay.
A nurse I know recently triaged a guy who wanted to talk to a doctor about a personal problem. As soon as I heard that my question was “So, what was up his ass?” After we both laughed this lovely nurse responded with “A hot dog”.
This looks interesting

I wouldn’t pay to see it in a theater though
They’ve been giving the line that “everyone who wants to leave” …. as if everyone just has the freedom to pop over to the airport.
Peppermint Patty was saying the other day that they are in contact with all those stuck there. Really? How does that work? I mean, they don’t have an embassy to call. Are they just calling up the WHite House directly?
