Good morning, and welcome to today’s edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Let’s get started.
This was on a couple of eclipse playlists.
Now for the hunks. My usual HHD fodder let me down, the best one was a repeat of Tom Hiddleston.
Bart Johnson.
Redhead for Carin.
Grabbed this off a gif.
Alberto Ammann.
Scott Reeves.
Last, but not least.
Y’all have a good day.
UPDATE: APOLOGIES TO ROMACITA BONITA BUT I AM PRETTY SURE IT IS OKAY:

What should we talk about now?
Wakey wakey
Good morning.
We’re in a lull before the storm at work so I’m going to go in to do the ‘must do’ stuff this morning then come home early and make arroz con pollo and attack a pile of clutter.
Yesterday after we did the ‘must do’ stuff I went over to Dad’s and finished planting his garden. His wife loves the japanese turnips and mustard greens I grow, so I put a bunch of those in the mix. Actually, I gave her the entire flat of turnips. Now I have to start more for myself. Derp.
PUPPY PICS HAVE LANDED.
i REPEAT, PUPPY PICS HAVE LANDED
Where should I put ’em? Can I tack them onto this poat? I’m not going to put the ones that show your face unless you say it is okay. Maybe I can crop you a little?
I can’t believe that’s a 9 week old puppy. She’s HUGE, lol!!
poat updated!!
I hate the cropping feature in WP now. What a POS. You have to blow up the picture and hope you chose the right area to start from so you get the part you wanted? Horrible. I tried several times then gave up.
“…eclipse video sent in by regular viewer, ‘Deez…'”
Very little beats pics of an adorable puppy to start the day! 😍
Somebody sold an old dog to Car in by claiming it’s a puppy.
Oldest scam there is.
Magnificent! When do we start throwing name suggestions out? Now? Okay: Daisy.
Looks like a Bonnie to me.
I’m sure your older dogs will love the puppy shaking things up around the house.
I’d love to say our dogs welcomed Ollie but that would not be true. ACD’s are not the most welcoming critters out there and, at best, they merely tolerate him.
Poppy
Daisy
Bonnie
????
Or Jenny.
But those names aren’t really Carin’s style.
The WSJ has an article about the increasing use of robot butchers in meat processing plants which I suppose is inevitable. It included this nugget which strains credibility
“In early 2020, packers temporarily closed plants when tens of thousands of workers fell sick with Covid and hundreds died, according to a 2021 congressional report. Meat companies then struggled over the next year to recruit enough workers and to run their plants at full strength.”
See, Brandon HAD to import all those illegals for you selfish MAGA’s to have your meat because you won’t eat the tasty bugs or Bill Gates meat!
Elsewhere I read how the EPA is screwing small meat producers over with new regulations on water. Not sure the entirety of the issue but it said water processing would cost up to $500,000 for each rancher. If I see it again I’ll read closer, I was just disgusted as I started reading it and, rather than spiking my BP, moved on.
White and pretty. …what about Lily?
maynard
Yeah, dog naming is a process best done by the owners while interacting with the pup. The best we can hope to do is to subliminally implant a potential name that works.
chevelle
hmm I like that one
More white flower names
Vinca
Jasmine…oooh, you can call her Jazz
Petunia
Dahlia
Calla
Maynard is better
what a good female heinlein character?
ooo, phyllis!
Rascal
she’s super smart. Pat and I are NOT in agreement nicer names. There might be blood
What names are you two deadlocked on?
We have zero agreement. lol
Ut oh. PUppy has taken Moose’s spot under my computer.
He’s taking it well. Sorta.
Head tucked between my feet. Puppy is laying it on thick.
She’s not telling us the names. She is afraid we will take the wrong side.
Another flower name. Rose.
I’m on Pat’s side. Misogyny!
Pay will have to break the tie, like our amazing vice president
The Lumnahs named theirs Brutus. Not sure there’s a female equivalent.
“My greatest achievement”, said Higgs in a recent interview, “was pure happenstance – the particle I found had the same name as me.”
What a legend. RIP Dr Higgs.
Livia
Octavia
Helena
Vesta…lots of great Roman goddess names.
Athena
Just name him Moose.
ooo i like it, the Larry Darryl and Darryl method. Or George Foreman’s kids all named George.
car in, you’re gonna have to hold off naming, until we get this ironed out.
Loqueesha
No matter what you pick, the name will be “Uh-Oh. No! Hey stop!” for a while.
That feeling you get when you realize you can’t see the puppy and they’ve been very quiet for a while. They’ve either fallen asleep somewhere, or are busy chewing on something expensive.
“What are you eating?”
“Put that down!”
“Get Back Here”
I’m pretty sure every puppies middle name is “NO”. Mine was Sophie, No.
Nimbus.
Unfettered immigration has consequences.
As does affirmative action.
Pat likes Rosie.
Mostly its been suggestion after suggestion promptly shot down by the other.
Rosetta would be proud. We had Floyd’s balls, now we can have Rosie’s balls.
Rosie just curled up with Moose. Its the cutest thing ever.
Has everyone preordered their copy of “True Gretch” yet?
“copy of true” is kind of an oxymoron?
This arizona abortion law craziness is nuts. Supreme Court (of Arizona) says old law is law of the land, now republicans want to repeal it on state’s rights grounds? This law bans abortion, basically.
What are they trying to do? Every right wing pundit is mad at Trump and Lake now.
Everything in AZ is run to the benefit of the Sinaloa cartel, as I’ve heard it.

Memoryholed in 3…2…1…
(When they find out it was done by a temple member(s).
Oh no! Anyway…
Satanic temple, planet fitness, potato potahto
CRINGE: Hillary Clinton produces feminist Broadway musical ‘Suffs’ about voting rights
Next Clinton production will be called “Snuffs” to describe Arkancide in detail
I knew Oso …
Not a sox fan but that was pretty cool.
Was it a knuckleball?
Bob Uecker: “The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.”
My ~35yo mercury amalgam filling was cracked when I went in for my checkup. Hole big enough to poke a toothpick into and I’d just been lucky nothing got caught in it. Whole right side of my face is numb now. I think I’ve got two more of those left.
Cirque du Soleil is in town. Anybody ever been? Worth the ticket price?
everyone I know that saw the show in Vegas raved about it, loved it.
Cirque du Soleil is absolutely worth it. Zumanity was the weakest of the ones I saw in Vegas, but even then it was pretty good. I was lucky to see the original one at the Mirage in it’s heyday and it was jaw-dropping.
Let the scams begin:
“Jimbro, Hello this is Owen Stephens on behalf of the Student-Loan Debt Department. We tried to contact you at your home and did not hear back. Your StudentLoans have been marked as eligible for forgiveness under the new 2024 guidelines. Your case number is #92803, and your file will remain open in my system for only one more day. If you could please give your dedicated eligibility line a call at: (844-***-****) Thank you so much and we hope to hear from you soon, Owen Stephens”
I finished paying my loans off over a decade ago yet I have “only one more day” to call and work on this … sure “Owen”
I saw Cirque a long time ago in Boston and liked it. Same with Blue Man Group. I have no idea how much the tickets were for the shows other than less than they probably cost now. Impressive performances.
I can almost feel my tongue.
Going to have to drink dinner, too afraid I’ll bite myself.
Mmmm steak frappe. Or is it eggs?
I saw blue man group in vegas about 25 years ago. Only went because all the wives on the trip insisted on it. And I didn’t care to be the turd in the punchbowl at that point. I liked it a hell of a lot more than I thought I would.
I’ve probably seen cirque de soleil as well but was dosed up on Crown so badly I don’t remember.
Eggs. Who can afford steak?
I was going to make pork tenderloin, but it can wait for tomorrow.
With P away doing her trek I went out of my way to eat a healthy meal tonight and had a salad with steak strips, blue cheese and a herb vinaigrette. I’ve got enough for the same thing tomorrow. She’s in charge of making sure we have a vegetable and rice or potatoes with dinner. Left to my own devices I’d just eat the meat and call it good.
More overtime is what I’d suggest.
Polly, Sugar, Rosie.
Name her after the next thing she eats.
Kong
Polly, Sugar, Rosie.
Man, they’re all good for this sweet muppet. Although Sugar, I think, has a chance of being short term and substituted later because it is already a generic nickname.
Plus, you really want to be standing on the back step yelling, “SUGARRRRR!” to call her in?
You should name her Privilege.
Why did you go Pyrenees and not Newfie? Just changing things up?
Leonard Hobbs, aka “Unclefacts” has passed.
RIP, old friend…
ChrisP, Leonard wasn’t Unclefacts, but he did pass and will be missed.
Though I did have to go check Unclefacts’ FB page to make sure he was still kickin’, he’s had his own battles in the last couple of years.
Roamy,
Was it J(edited) D(edited)? Am I that confused?
ChrisP, yes, Unclefacts is J.D.
Gonna edit that in a bit.
Leonard was in Texas, went to A&M. Unclefacts is up north.
If Leonard commented at Ace’s, I don’t remember his nickname at the moment. He must have, there’s a lot of overlap in his friend list and the people I know from the mothership.
He was only 5 years older than me.
Day’s end—rest peacefully.
Leonard was in Dallas, Unk is in northeast. Hadn’t heard that about Leonard, thanks for forwarding.
Heh, new image added to collection
