Good morning, and welcome to today’s edition of Hunky Hump Day.
This starts kinda slow and a little monotone, but stick with it.
I don’t ordinarily mix memes and HHD, but this made me laugh and laugh.
I’m going to confess that I am very tired tonight, so this week’s HHD is going to be a “best of” Christmas models. Let’s see who’s there in the wayback machine.
Going to be busy this week.

Must have really liked this one, he shows up more than once.
And that will have to do.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the links every week. Y’all have a good day.

Nary a chest hair was seen
More than 50% of these guys look like they could be hetero, which is amazing for a series of beefcake pics.
Good morning.
I’m making my bread dough for Christmas Eve today. It will have a couple days of cold proofing then I’ll bake it up on the morning of. That will be the extent of my Christmas prep. Oh, and I have to buy money cards for the kids.

wakey wakey
Thanksgiving was the last time I made my go-to sourdough recipe, but I changed a couple things and it was best ever. Instead of honey I used brown sugar, and I added a scant 1/2 teaspoon or so of my homemade diastatic malt per loaf. And I toasted the sesame seeds and really crusted them on instead of just sprinkling them as decoration. Wowee, it was good.
Going to see if I can reproduce those results.
Try adding dilithium crystals. They always seemed important on the Starship Enterprise.
I just sent pictures of my gifts to Leon. One was sideways for some reason but the viewer can simply tilt their head to make it right. Tracking info says my gift arrived last Friday but it may have paled in comparison to the other arrival on the same day.
This is my favorite Matt Maher song, used as bumper music for Fr John Riccardo’s old podcast/radio show.

This cunt. This unspeakable cunt. You’re about three years late to start speaking the truth, cunty mccuntface.
Oh yeah, I forgot I have to go get the cash for my nephews. I’m not a fan of giving cash, but that’s what they want, so…
I have a meeting this morning, and then I’m done with scheduled work until Jan. (I still have a lot of background reading to do for the new role, but I can do that whenever.)
Lumps – I really can’t believe people are still taking Covid seriously. I can’t even with maskers right now. when I see them enter my restaurant I just PRAY they don’t get put in my section.
I give all the nephews gift cards. I hate it but they’re at that age – I’d rather do that than throw money away. I give my one nephew a book with a gift card. If i know what types of books they like, I do that.
WaPo backtracking …
Notice how aware she is of her audience, who are apparently all gung-ho vaxx mandate still. Those people are Covid cultists. Inflexible and unable to readjust their thinking in light of new and better data, after becoming dedicated “followers” after swallowing a little propaganda. And these are the supposed “intelligent and highly educated” greater DC area subscribers and other movers and shakers of the managerial class. No analytical or critical thinking skills apparent.
It’s no wonder our governing, media, and C-suite class is so dysfunctional and incompetent. But they sure think highly of themselves.
It’s all lies.
MJ said that long ago, and Pat quotes it all the time.
It’s all lies. Covid. Job numbers. the FBI. all of it.
Well, to be fair, it wasn’t “a little” propaganda. It was absolutely ubiquitous and also infused with a powerful tribalism. Be one of the GOOD people. Not one of those icky types, ick!
Young people were actually all fired up and excited to ‘jump the line’ and get their shots asap.

Agreed, Lumps. One co-worker lied about working in manufacturing to jump the line.
It’s the sacrament of initiation for secular humanism.
Transitioning or Coming Out is their version of Holy Orders.
Scott just showed me some person on the nextdoor app who has covid. She commented that she is vaxxed and has had only had one booster and needs to get another one after she recovers from covid.
She actually typed this out and it made sense to her.
My younger coworkers were trading tips on how to jump the line at the beginning, when old people were being prioritized and young people generally weren’t eligible. What a bunch of selfish little assholes. If they really believed their Kill Grandma rhetoric, they wouldn’t have been trying to elbow Grandma out of the way.
I don’t give gifts to the neflings any more. I buy NASA shirts on occasion for the great-neflings. This year, I only bought gifts for Mr. RFH, Rocketboy, DIL, their two dogs, Mini-me, my dad, stepmom, and Secret Santas. I also bought a housewarming gift for a co-worker. Cookies to dad, favorite brother, and close friends.
I’ll be working all this week and next week. I have one day left of use-or-lose leave, and I don’t know exactly when I’ll be using it. I have flight hardware due in early January and support work for two projects. It will be nice and quiet at work, and I’ll get a lot done, but I hate having to go in while Mini-me is home.
Speaking of which, time to get off my butt and go to work.
I only have next Monday off.
I have Monday off. But I did take that nice stretch off earlier. Cycle of the workload means my time off options tend to suck, but I find ways.
Get out early Friday, though. Likely nothing worth considering will happen that day anyway.
To try to hand-mix 12 loaves worth of bread dough all at once instead of splitting it up has been such a tragically insane decision. I’ve got it all sitting in a food safe 4-gal bucket. Me and the dough need to rest a bit before round two. Holy crap.
Put a dough paddle in your power drill and brace the bucket between your feet.
Good luck with that.
Oh, Leon, you are hysterical, and a fucking assoholio!!
I should have done some sort of actual math ahead of time, and I shoulda thought about how to wrestle a fucking 24-lb dough ball and how I don’t want that.
Do you have a post-hole auger?
You might need a post-hole auger.
My cousin proudly posted her covid shot when she and her husband got theirs. they found a loophole that if they volunteered for some tiny amount they got the shot. So they did that. Then they lamented that they would worry until the shot was available for their 4 y/o.
My Massachusetts liberal sister who I truly do love is all in on vaccines. She’s on immunosuppressants for her Crohn’s Disease so I don’t blame her for buying in to the BS they were peddling. Knowing her, even if she were not bothered by Crohn’s, she’d be all in on them regardless.
My friend in MA who is a bone doctor too is all in on them too. He was giving me crap for wanting to remain a Pureblood and telling me not to believe the right wing conspiracy theories about it. I did not laugh at him when he got Bell’s Palsy and just wished for it to improve.
The headline is the whole joke at The Bee
https://babylonbee.com/news/husband-confident-he-found-a-banger-of-a-gift-after-listening-to-wife-complain-about-the-vacuum-for-the-past-3-months
Wife told me Saturday that we should just do presents for Possum this year, then yesterday in tears she recanted and said she’d be angry with me if I didn’t get her anything.
So I’m shopping tonight. Not for a vacuum.
I bet she wants a post-hole auger.
I’d go ahead and get her the vacuum.
OH MAN, sorry to hear that, I’d hate to have to go to a store right now. We avoid even the streets near the main shopping areas this time of year.
Every now and then I think about how horrible it was to own a retail store, and that naturally leads to remembering how sad and scared I was when we had to close it down. If I had only known how much better life would be, I’d have closed it wayyyy sooner instead of hanging on to the bitter end. Fourteen and a half years of working six days a week (sometimes seven!), insane holiday rushes, and being mistreated by the general public. DAMN what a waste!
then yesterday in tears she recanted and said she’d be angry with me if I didn’t get her anything.
I can’t believe you fell for that one. I have the perfect meme for this but you’ll have to wait until Saturday.
being mistreated by the general public

Anyone know why this has become the norm rather than a rare, newsworthy event? I can make a lot of guesses but I wonder if the causes have been nailed down by “experts”.
Ben used to come home with horror stories about dealing with these losers at Chic-Fil-A but we thought it was because he was a little young for the job (15 when he started) but it continued the entire time he was there and was experienced at his job. After leaving his job at the airport before he started at college he looked for a part time job and Panera was the first place that got back to him. He made it through 2 days of training before he said fukkit because of the customers giving employees crap about their orders. He told the manager who hired him why he was unable to continue the job. He now gets orders together for online shoppers at Whole Foods which even he calls Whole Paycheck. Minimal stress, good pay and a nice discount.
I can’t believe you fell for that one. I have the perfect meme for this but you’ll have to wait until Saturday.
I didn’t believe her when she said it, but now I don’t have to try and sneak in a shopping trip I was going to take anyhow or swear Possum to secrecy.
I took the week after Christmas off, we are renting a beach house instead of exchanging presents this year.
This is the first year in my professional life I’ve used ALL my vacation time, I’m pretty stoked. Next year is gonna suck though, I’ll have to wait and accumulate.
I recommend against starting to accumulate PTO in December.
Face mask wearing book store cashier didn’t seem pleased with my pile of conservative books.
You’re lucky you were able to find them.
When we had a Borders in Ann Arbor, the clerks used to do their best to hide them from view.
Oh, it took me a while to fine them.
25# = 1 batch of pizza dough, done in an industrial mixer. Makes 4-5 trays of 16″ pizza dough, 6 pizzas per tray
i am maxed on vacation, need to use it up. 3 days of it next week
yeah, those tolerant bookworms love to hide the ones they hate.
THE MESSAGE
my wife is low maint. i found a great deal on a receiver to switch outputs on the tv easily, used. And she’ll love it.
Whelp. My elder brother got laid off. He’s was in new home construction sales since forever, but due to the interest rate hikes the housing market in his area cratered. Now he’s looking to move down here. Soon. Dad and I are looking at house for him and his wife tomorrow morning. Florida Man’s minions grow stronger.
Wife is licensed for MI real estate now, we keep joking she should get licensed for FL too so she can help folks escape.
A little Christmas music for ya
You know I’m kind of coming around on the mask thing. You can easily identify the covidians on sight.
STAY SAFE!
Leon, for Dan’s 40th birthday, he said he didn’t want anything. I didn’t get him anything. Big mistake. That year, he attended Steelers at Broncos. Playoff game at Steelers. I was still paying a few years later. Did I learn? That would be a great big “No.” Dan “We pretty much buy everything we want anyway, let’s not do Christmas this year.” 🐻 “Ok.” I didn’t buy him anything. He bought and framed a vintage movie poster of my favorite Disney film. Surprise.

Gross.
Looks like Ortho figured out a way to get a slice of the Mutilation Pie
Scrolling comments about the border at Fox caused me to wonder about something.
That is, I wonder if they up the supply of Narcan in the Whitehouse when Hunter shows up for a visit. Christmas is gaining on us quickly, then there’s New Years Eve. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see recent purchase orders from the Whitehouse?
BITD, I tried to starve myself into invisibility. Pop culture was all about Anorexia/Bulemia being about fashion models in magazines. Actually in treatment, 80% of all body dysmorphia was a result of sexual abuse. Big shock to me. Media ran with the magazine BS. Ignored the abuse.
Did Zelenskyy just tell the HoR’s he owes them whore’s, sex, and gratitude?
I’ll take a pass on all of the above, dude. Just give me my money back, including the 10% for The Big guy.
Nigel Farage (my spirit limey) is saying that Western Yoorop is done with Zelensky’s grifting shit, which is why the little shit is here begging congress for even more moolah. His other dealers are cutting him off, likely because it’s Russian oil and gas or their own people will roll out national razors rather than freeze and starve in the dark.
Let’s not be hasty.
whore’s
Ahem, whores. Courtesans if you want to class it up a bit.
BOOM!

“Courtesans if you want to class it up a bit.”
Or HoR’s.
Perhaps I heard it wrong. His accent is pretty thick. Did he maybe call the Hor’s whores? “I owe you whores sex and gratitude”?
I am always polite and nice to retail workers and waiters, because, you know, I’m a decent human being, and an unexpected side benefit is that I get good and sometimes even excellent service. I’m talking freebies, best table in the restaurant, extra advice on the best product to buy, etc. That’s not why I do it (see above re: attempting to be a decent human being), but the bennies from being decent are so nice that you would think that even someone who is actuated by the purest self-interest would catch on.
I try to be courteous, but sometimes just need to pop a customer service rep right on the eyebone, you know? People say I’m a monster but it’s like, talk to the hump.
….and a great shot.
Side benefit…..Ha!
One of the interns said her philosophy was “Don’t be a dick.” A little cruder version of the golden rule, but if it makes people think about not being a dick, that’s a good thing. Especially for wait staff, store clerks, Uber drivers, etc.
Dispassionately, Elena rebuffed Peyton.
