Good morning, and welcome to today’s edition of Hunky Hump Day. Ok, she needs a sammich.
Someone was talking about “Dinner and a Movie” on TBS. This was the theme song.
Hosted by Paul Gilmartin.

I don’t know if I ever cooked anything they made, but I usually liked the movies.
Once the Super Bowl is over, we can talk about spring training. From a revival of “Damn Yankees”.
Birthday boy Victor Webster.
Previous week’s leftovers.
Looks nice.
Last, but not least.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the links every week. Y’all have a good day.

The State of our Union is mminiltninbropis!
I think j,brony had a seizure.
From what I gathered reading through Steven Green’s “Drunkblog”, Biden was super medicated and talking rapidly. There were a few of the classic wtf pronunciations and phrasings along the way. As always, I’ll wait for the wizards of twitter to curate them into a modern art masterpiece for my amusement
An overnight dusting of snow has improved the appearance of the shitpen dramatically
Some would say it looks better than that old hag Madonna
The rotted corpse of a three-week-dead bison looks better than Madonna.
wakey wakey
7 degrees and 6″ of snow on the ground this morning. No fun at all.
Jimbro?

You guys should really reconsider your criticism for my music after what is celebrated at the Grammy’s.
We’ll take that under advisement. However, shit is multifaceted.
Angry Biden isn’t a good look. Someone with skills should compile all his yelling in one neat package.
Then all his mysterious flubs of the English language. I want someone to switch his prescription drugs flub with I love Lucy’s Vitameatavegamin bit. lol.
Honestly, after reading the news and clips from the SOTU last night … listening to this is what I needed to refresh. Honest to god. I feel better now.
If I did that to my vocal chords for a couple of minutes I’d be coughing up a lung for the next three weeks.
I have to say though, I’m SO GLAD the president is going to tackle the pressing problem of resort fees. If there is one threat to our country, it’s the donor class being overcharged during vacations.
Yea, marcus is amazing – apparently there is a correct way to “scream” and a wrong way. A lot of ’em do it the wrong way and only last a few years. The previous singer of the band had to drop out and they held youtube auditions. That’s how they found this guy. He can actually sing. The previous guy was just a screamer (and he fried is vocal cords), and he muddled through the clean parts.
Here’s his audition – singing one of their songs with less actual “singing” because the old singer had limited vocals for that. The band had said they wanted to go in a “different direction” – and they went with an actual singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9hmrJ6fK68
Pepe, our doorbell long ago stopped working. Not that we need one, the dogs start barking the second they hear a vehicle on the driveway and sometimes, okay, a lot of times, when there’s no vehicle at all. Rowan is the ring leader of barking. If a truck downshifts on the hill leading into town about a quarter mile away that warrants him jumping into the window perch. My neighbor who is a forester has a couple of bucket trucks that beep when backing up and that’s always cause for a cacophony.
Like any married couple we occasionally annoy each other with simple tricks such as calling out “Who’s here Rowan!” using a super excited voice or surreptitiously knocking on the wall to get the bark train going. Good times.
How is everyone’s Super Bowl Snack Stadium plans coming along?

Holy shit, did he really mention resort fees?

My subcontractors are due to be here any minute. I’m glad I got the concrete work done a couple of weeks ago.
I’m using hummus for mortar between the carrot stick bricks. Using toothpaste last year was a giant mistake I won’t be repeating again.
I skimmed through a WSJ editorial today that posited the recent UFO discussions over the last 2 to 3 years by US government sources were cover for known Chinese spying events.
I’m not sure I completely buy it but nothing surprises me about our asshoe government anymore

Ha!
Our country is shit now. Really and truly.
But the pinnacle of the deep sickness in our country is politicians wearing ABORTION pins.
Sweet Jesus, you might as well come again now.

Phrasing.

Reminds me of that scene in The Accountant right after they end his forensic accounting project before he was finished.
I don’t think I’ll ever understand the chest shaving thing.
I’ve never really understood doorbells either. I’ve actually never had one, which is weird. Either the house didn’t have one when I bought it, like my current house, or it didn’t work when I bought it and never bothered to fix it, or in the cases of houses I’ve built, I didn’t install one.
At any rate, what the fuck is wrong with knocking?
Mr. RFH set up his home office in the basement. He can’t hear knocking at the front door but can hear the doorbell.

That’s because you’re not ghey. Some of these guys are definitely playing for the other team.

Your mom claims it can be painful.
He can’t hear knocking at the front door but can hear the doorbell.
I’m not seeing a downside here.
Like Carin does with her phone, if someone knocks at my door and I don’t feel like answering, I just ignore it.
If someone knocks at my door and I don’t hear it, it’s the same as missing a phone call. Leave a note.
How politicians can stand and clap like seals about keeping Social security careening off the cliff is beyond my understanding.
But then there are lots of things I can’t gronk.
I prefer knowing when someone approaches my home. That’s why motion sensor alarms along the driveway that sound in the house, and the loud menacing-looking dog that alerts to everything up to and including loud vehicles on the dirt road over 100 yards away.
How Dylan Mulvany can become a stereotype of a woman and be hailed as brave.
How Dr Jill can possibly use Dr in her title.
How Sam Smith decided to embrace the over-weight lesbian look.
How to squat snatch.
I read the comments on the mothership last night and it occurred to me that the audience aren’t the people watching or interested. It’s the people who will see a 10 second clip online or on the news.
That’s why the speech seems so disjointed. It’s really a collection of 10 second statements, not a coherent speech with a theme.
It’s also convenient when your guy is a retard. He only needs a few different 10 second clips out of 4380 total seconds to seem normal.
Social security is a Ponzi scheme, but the government has forced so many people to pay into it for so long, it’s politically untenable to “fix” it. It would be like retroactively and unilaterally modifying a contract where the other party has paid in for years.
I’d be happy to have my “contributions” refunded lump-sum with a decent interest rate (that covers both inflation and a reasonable rate of return) in exchange for forgoing getting a monthly check that is subject to income tax. But I don’t think the government can afford to make whole the people they forced to participate, and they can’t afford to continue the system as it is. Immediate short-term pain versus future long-term pain. You know they’ll pick the one that defers pain.
I tell my kids that they should not depend on it being around for them.

Society has been optimized for the crazy so we’re going to get more crazy.
Unrelated thought…the gheys are stuck in perpetual adolescence because right when it was becoming more acceptable, everyone over 30 died. They have zero older gheys to learn from.

I dunno. I think many young people have reached a hedonistic tipping point. They started out with the idea that it should be ok for a gay couple to live next door to you and raise their family … and it’s turned into “if you don’t want to watch us sodomize each other in clubs you’re a hater.” They can’t tell the difference between accepting one’s differences, and shoving degeneracy in your fact. That Sam Smith video is example #1.
Private v public behavior.
Honestly, I’d take all my SS as a lump sum with no future money due and no interest and count myself blessed. It’ll be dead broke and 0.8 workers will be paying my bennies by the time I’m supposed to “collect”. At least if I get the cash now I can build a new deck and some livestock fencing.
I’ve changed my opinion on almost everything.
I think a lot of social programs started out with the right sentiment but have been coopted as a means of control.
Every instrument of the state is used to increase the power of the state at the expense of the individual. They take so much money but all of the services suck. We can’t even win a war against a triple AAA team from the fucking desert. What kind of entertainment is that? I want a better federal drama. Season 20 of Game of Camels really sucked.
They want to take your kids at age 3 now so both parents can be productive little citizens…to pay more taxes.
I think I’m turning into an anarchist.
Anarchy devolves to rule by warlords and corporate interests nowadays. “Own nothing and like it (or else)” is where they’d take us.
History says collapsing republics are replaced by monarchy, and that monarchy in practice is oligarchy…
So we’re about to become Russia and a flotilla of break-off satellites.
This is part of the reason I think it’s all just silly.
One party is talking about taxes of 38.4% while the other tells us it’s the end of the world if taxes aren’t 36.9%.
No one is asking why we pay at all. We’re basically so dopey that we’re fighting over paying 20K or 22K to the government.
Maybe the left is correct. We need something different. This isn’t going to work long term.
I hear you, Leon. But I’ve been paying in for over 50 years. I’m not willing to be bought out at a loss. 50 years is a long time for inflation to devalue my money and to miss out on the investment income it could have generated.
I feel like we’ve convinced the girl to either give us a handy or a handy with eye contact.
Both will do but one is slightly better.
And we think we’re being all noble and shit by withholding a smile while Uncle Sam gloops on us.
I get it. I’m not going to see a dime of what I’ve put in unless it’s worthless by then. I expect part of the official, complete bullshit numbers for inflation are an attempt to stop or stagnate the mandated increases in payouts. I expect future “reforms” to eliminate such increases and eliminate the income cap on SS withholding (without increasing the payouts).
Eh, what am I saying?
We were meant to sit in front of computers all day. We’ve evolved for this very thing.
And the funniest part about it? I can see a bloke sitting in a field 1000 years ago thinking to himself, ‘verily, waseth I made to service these fair fields, toiling away, or to frolic in thy master’s cold stream, swimming like a toad?’
But thinking is fun and I like to think there’s a point other than doing your best as a parent. But there really isn’t.
Pretty sure the point is handys with eye contact.
Dirty talk on special occasions.
So under Biden’s plan I can’t charge your mom a fee for my junk any longer?
Worst plan ever.
Hotspur’s junk kilt it
“Hotspur’s junk kilt it”
Not for the first time.
George Santos supposedly called Mitt Romney an asshole to his face.
I love this guy. Nothing else matters. I’d run for congress on any pile of BS just to do the same thing.

Supposedly this guy isn’t credible. Answers the cui bono neatly, though.

If the last two threads at the mothership tell me anything, it’s that most of “our side” has not learned a goddamn thing from the past 15 years.
BT you would be right.

Benedict was at the bar at Twin Peaks. Dan said he was a really good guy. Regular. Dan didn’t know he was supposed to ask him to pronounce “Penguin.”
After a rough start on Monday evening and yesterday, we rebooted and Rebecca had a fantastic day today:

Awesome news, T!
Boy, I sure do know how to shut down a blog post, huh?
Happens to the best of us. Glad to hear she is doing better.
