Weekend Open Thread
There was some discussion a few weeks ago about the AT&T commercial and the woman who plays the store manager. Well this is the woman who plays that same role in the Spanish-language commercials, and I think she’s much cuter. Just saying.
If you’re in no hurry for the weekend to finish, here’s a little pick me up for Monday morning. This is scheduled for 0930 PST Monday;
Mr Bernath will be attending by telephone, you know, because he’s not in Vietnam where, for whatever reason, there is less gravity.
Category: Open thread
Activated my lawn sprinkler system this morning.
Thought about it, then the weather-guesser on the local channel said the low tonight is supposed to be 10°, so, that’ll wait for a couple of weeks.
Lawn sprinklers. What a concept, Claw.
Around here, we spent part of the week cutting tall grass on terrain too steep for a brush-hog. It’s been a strange Winter. This part of California actually did get some rain, and the grass seemed to go from zero to thigh high in only a couple of weeks. It’s also the case that if you don’t take care of it, you’ll get a visit from CalFire who hand you a list of demerits or whatever.
And I’m basically okay with that. Anybody who has been through a wildfire in these parts knows it can be some seriously bad mojo.
By this time next year, I hope to have the fencing repaired enough to graze animals, and not have to mow, but it’s not there yet. Some people have suggested getting goats, but I find the little bug-eyed bastards kinda creepy.
How do you feel about sheep? I keep a small breed of sheep as our rule of thumb is no livestock too big for one of us to wrestle to the ground unaided. They’re definitely sheep and not goats, but have goatlike habit in their consumption of pretty much every weed we have. I’d recommend ’em to anyone with the fences for ’em.
Not a bad idea, farmgirl, but I’m not sure I’d want to keep them on a permanent basis. I’m not a fan of mutton, and wouldn’t want to mess with the wool.
On the other hand, there’s a guy a couple of miles down the road who keeps flocks that apparently get moved around to various ranches after fields of hay are cut and baled. I’m not sure how to get a-hold of the sheep guy, he’s not around all that much, and it’s not as if you can find “rent-a-sheep” listed in the yellow pages.
How do you have your animals fenced? Most of the existing fence here is repairable 5-strand barbwire. It would be a pain to have to go to field fence. I haven’t been around sheep in years, and have no clue anymore how they are as escape artists.
Ha, you would NOT want to keep these sheep (or any kind of goat) with just barbed wire. They are escape artists non pareil – particularly goats, some of which can sort of climb trees.
As for sheep rental, I’d just knock on the guy’s door (or ask around the neighborhood, or at your local farm store). If it’s a temporary thing, he may have movable temporary fence he uses, to hold them in the given area to be cleared. If not, that can be rented from road crew places, although it’s a lovely blaze orange which may sear your eyeballs at a hundred yards.
We use field fence – anything less secure, if they can find a way out, they will. Lost a lot of weight one summer before we got our fences tight chasing them up and down hills!
Thanks for the feedback.
Spring is upon us.
Watch out were you step.
You could step into a huge steaming pile of Phil Monkress.
Scary. And the stench…..
Be safe.
2 things:
1. You had me at Spanish Language TV … Have you ever watched some of that stuff? It is OUTSTANDING!
2. If I told you guys I was appearing in person, you would not be surprized … However, I can’t attend … but my rep will be in the room. We voted in advance and Bernath has been, will be and forever voted “off the island”.
Note:
Bernath is not, never was nor will he ever be a Genuine or Honorary CPO. PERIOD!
The chess game is long over.
I called checkmate over a year ago.
But popcorn … lots of popcorn.
OUT!
PS: Bernath, you can KMRIA!
Sábado Gigante has been on since 1963. I wonder why?
Jonn,
The gravity reference is a solid one. I was there 12 SEP 2014. He strutted into the courtroom, refused to stand for the judge (everyone else did, including severely disabled real lawyer … in her own way …who was representing a righteous client) and then he gave a sophmoric excuse why he would NOT stand during the proceedings. The judge and all in attendance took note. I often wonder if the FAA knows about his inability to stand without the possibilty of falling backwards. Wink. But what do I know about such things?
Now, now. You can’t possibly hold that against him. He stood perfectly well when he confronted you and stormed down the hall to shove a catheter during the recess… without his crutches.
Did he also demand to be addressed as “Chief” during the proceedings?
Is there a video of whatzhisname struttin or storming without his doglegs, just in case anyone wishes to say something about — well, ‘abled’ as opposed to ‘disabled’?
<blockquoteWell this is the woman who plays that same role in the Spanish-language commercials, and I think she’s much cuter. Just saying.
They’re both hot. But I’m not terribly selective in these matters.
1. Bernath going to court
2. Bergdahl has been charged
3. Reid is calling it quits
4. ExPH2 said we were all hot and sexy, or something like that (I’m paraphrasing)
5 I had knee surgery (which has allowed me to hang around here more than normal)
It’s been a hell of week. Let’s pop some tops..
That was ‘like activated torpedoes – straight, hot and normal’. Now I have to did out ‘Down Persicope’ and watch it again.
🙂
Good flick! I still enjoy watching it, Kelsey Grammar ROCKS!
One of my favorite submarine movies, if only because it nails the humor.
Nuts. Its not on Netflix anymore. It pops up but in the queue it says don’t know when avail. Never saw it.
You accusing me of being normal?
Not in a million, Grimmy.
I tried being normal once, and I assure each and every one of y’all that IT WAS THE WORST five minutes of my life!! 😀
6: Commander Phil Monkress of All-Points Logistics, Forgin’ Frank “The Taint” Viscont, Heavy Chevy and Paul-mer (of the Ballsack) all still suck ass.
Writing novels and stories is not as easy as I thought it would be, especially if the plotline is full of twists and turns. However, I continue to endeavor to persevere.
The birdbath in the yard has finally thawed, but the glacier is still there.
Where do you go for feedback on your stuff? I’m working on one right now, just have the first few chapters blocked out, and could probably use some proofreading and critique down the line.
My wife has used a site called critiquecircle.com, and reports favorably about it.
I’ll check it out.
I try to find someone here who is kind** enough to do that for me and then inflict my overblown prose and impossible ideas on the poor soul.
Seriously, how do you project 350 years into the future, if you stop and consider the difference between NOW and 500 yars ago when Richard III met the Lancastrian (Tudors) at Bosworth?
talk to Flagwaver
D’you think he can handle a mobius strip of time travel and cyborgs that look like Godzilla?
I’d be willing to give it a shot for you, if you want.
Okay, then. Let me finish this chapter.
I’ve written for both Star Wars Insider and am published through Baen. They’ll publish anything as long as you call it Sci-Fi, even if it’s a bunch of political tripe set in the modern age with either Alien invaders or inter-dimensional travel.
Oh, wait, that is sci-fi.
How about I send the same thing to both of you?
I think I’d better get a membership in SciFi Writers workshop again. I feel so…. behind.
Ex-PH2 – sounds like a plan. May need to follow your lead on the workshop. Never been a part of it, but I’m wrestling with ideas and having a time of it.
Flagwaver – Can I pick your brain a little with what I am doing? I’ll try not to be a pain in the fourth point, promise!
My facebook is linked in my name. All you need to do is click, send a friend request, and drop me a line.
Thanks, I do appreciate it.
Request sent
I’m not on Facebook. I’ll have to send the request through Jonn, if that’s okay with you two.
yep, fine with me
Fine by me, too. Jonn, please indulge this lovely lady with my email address.
Make sure you identify yourself as Ex-PH2 in your heading so I don’t think you’re some random crazy lady. That way I know you’re a specific crazy lady.
Roger that to both of you.
Instinct, I made tons of notes while I was working and put them in notebooks, and waited until I retired to start up seriously. I still make notes – LOTS OF NOTES – and now I do chapter beats, brief paragraphs for each chapter, so that I have a road map to follow. But that is not cast in stone.
And visualizing helps a LOT, too, like you’re watching a movie.
Yep, doing the notes and visualizing. Think I just need to kick it around some more and then once I have a few more chapters lined up have it looked over.
Don’t know about writing one, but I just started reading a new one. “Into The Storm,” book 1 of the “Destroyermen” series by Taylor Anderson. All I can say is, Amazon is about to make a bunch of money off of me. It starts off north of Java in March 1942 aboard the USS Walker (DD-163), a WWI-vintage Wickes-class destroyer (one of the old Four-Stackers), part of the Asiatic Fleet. The Walker, two other US destroyers, and a British destroyer are escorting the crippled HMS Exeter trying to escape the Japanese. Before departing Surabaya, she picked up 6 Navy nurses, 2 P-40 pilots, a wounded sergeant from the lost USS Houston’s Marine Detachment, and an Australian oil engineer. The Walker fights in the Battle of the Java Sea, in which the Exeter is sunk with all of her escorts except the Walker and her sister ship, USS Mahan (DD-102). The two destroyers are trying to reach a rain squall, but are blocked by the battlecruiser HIMS Amagi and a destroyer. With no other option, the two destroyers make a suicidal torpedo run against the Amagi, break through to the squall, and end up…the same place, but elsewhere. They soon encounter man-eating tuna, prehistoric sea monsters, modern dinosaurs on Bali, and two non-human races at war with eachother. They also have to deal with broke-down equipment, battle damage and casualties, dwindling fuel, food, and ammo, and figuring out where they stand in this parallel world. That’s the not even the first 100 pages. Great book, would make a bitchin’ HBO series, not unlike “Game of Thrones”–obviously that won’t happen because HBO won’t do it without making half the crew explicitly gay. Still, the Walker gets some epic “big damn heroes” moments with the 4-inch guns blazing and the Stars and Stripes flying prominently. The Brits get some love too, with the historical depiction of the HMS Exeter and HMS Encounter, going down fighting. So, yeah, I’ll be getting the rest of the series. Not really a heavy sci-fi kind of guy. I like Star Wars as much as any God-fearing, red-blooded… Read more »
My sister, a retired English high school teacher, has written two (02) novels for children, and was going to write a third, but her rheumatoid arthritis caused her to give it up.
She’s not English.
She taught English.
Actually, she’s a blond, blue-eyed Cherokee.
I was adopted, and under Cherokee law, my adoption isn’t recognized, for I was born without ANY American Indian blood, whereas my three (03) younger sisters were born with one quarter (1/4) Cherokee blood, inherited from our father’s full blooded mother, of the Hummingbird family.
In North Carolina, numerous local American Indians have blond hair and blue eyes.
For example, remember the actress, Heather Locklear?
It’s theorized that the blond hair and blue eyes are descended from the “Lost Colony”, who may have intermarried with local American Indians.
In fact, when the Cherokee were forced on the “Trail of Tears”, the Lumbee tribe were NOT permitted to go, for it could not be proven that they were truly American Indians.
North Carolina grants them a reservation to live on, but the federal government refuses to recognize the reservation or the tribe.
When I was a boy, the Ku Klux Klan held a rally on the Lumbee Reservation, and the Lumbee drove them away with shotguns and rifles.
All of us kids were laughing and joking about it the next day.
Careful. You don’t want to give anyone on Merritt Island any ideas.
Ex, “Endeavor to persevere” is the best line ever in a Clint Eastwood movie. That and it aint fair to sneak up on a Indian like that.
For the Navy vets.. listen, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

It’s a 7 minute audio story about John Paul Jones, how he died in Paris alone, was buried in a public cemetery, and the location of his grave was lost to time. It is also the story of a Union General/MOH recipient who found Jones’s grave and body over 100 years later and brought him home.
It is a short, well told story. I think you guys would enjoy it. Merica!!!
Sometimes truth is almost as strange as science fiction.
Need a like button here.
That little proceeding that’s coming up made me giggle almost uncontrollably, my co-workers now think I’m nuttier than I actually am.
Good, they’re joining the consensus of your husband, friends, and the entire psychology community.
I’m going to offer up a bucket of chicken and some rum to Jobu so the proceedings go well.
Must wake up bats!
Up yours Jobu…
Well, that’s the polite company version . . .

Original is NSFW and around prudes/little ones/clergy, so follow the link with care. (smile)
That all depends on the clergy. My former Priest was a former Navy Chaplain. When he retired from the Church, he opened a beach-side massage parlor in Hawaii.
Kind of a message to 3/17: to recap, my bride of 30 years passed. A year passed and a little bird flew into my life. Things happened and we married. My kid loves her. Her kids love me. We both have been to Arlington to honor late wife. We talk about her all the time.
Here’s where I relate to 3/17: She’s TDY for a week starting today. Sucks. Reminds me of what my life would have been had she not flown in. 3/17: things will get better. Take 2 salt tablets and drive on!
For Bluegrass folks, a song from Doyle Lawson that makes me sad and, strangely, comforted. “How do you say goodbye to 60 years” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PPjpVB58gY
Sounds like everything is coming together for you ask, but I pray for you anyway.
I accidentally hit the report button. Sorry to the moderator.
“SJ” auto correct changed it for me to ask.
SJ……….my daylight hours are fine. I keep busy here, weeding and landscaping my piece of heaven. It’s the nights that suck. I hate dark thirty!
Sad for me. My flavorite pastry shop is no more the twister in Sand Springs took it away. Only minor hail damage to my property. Joe
Joe:
Re the Sand Springs Twister; do you have any idea if that same system hit ol’ Billy Boy Blake? If so, was it a super duper strong one, (like able to lift his fat ass off the ground), tossing him around like an oversized frontend loader tire, weighted to prevent upset?
I have been a bit out of the loop, so maybe Big ol’ Blake has dropped off the radar.
The donut shop was only about 5 miles from me. Billy boi lives Bartsville which is on the other side of Tulsa from me. Might be 50=50 on lifting his lying fat ass. Had some high winds in downtown Tulsa that might have scared him off his er whatever two consenting men do together. Joe
My biological brother lives in Sapulpa.
When was this tornado?
Maybe I’d better give him a call.
Maybe not.
I didn’t realize it was so late.
My wife Sherry had a motorcycle accident on Saturday and broke both humerus bones. She underwent 8.5 hours of surgery on Monday and came home on Tuesday. She is doing well. Being a caregiver at home is hard work. This is my first experience with it.
Re “Being a caregiver at home is hard work.” Yes sir it is. Several of us here have seen that movie for years on end.
All I can say is take care of yourself so that you can take care of her. You need to get some help so that you can take a walk around the block now and then. Treat her like you would want her to treat you. Come here and vent and us folks that have been in your boots will punch your TS card.
Thanks! I will
I hope her recovery is fast and without complications.
🙂
Try to get someone to help you out so that you can get out of the house, too.
Our 18 year old daughter is on college spring break and she has been a big help
8.5 hours of surgery and she is at home already???
Damn, that is still post op with all kinds of stuff happening.
There are a lot of things to watch out for, please take care of yourself too. You are important for her.
Watch out for any fever, or dizziness.
I hope and pray that she recovers quickly.
Thanks. I’ve been a Physician Assistant for almost 24 years, mostly in a Vascular and Trauma surgery, I’m comfortable with this. It’s the personal care that’s exhausting. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers!
This video about a school banning a kid for his haircut caught my eye.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/school-forces-second-grader-to-shave-off-military-style-haircut/vi-AAa5tld
I’m only going to say that I remember in the 1960s when a teenaged boy with a haircut vaguely resembling a Beatles haircut was not only kicked out of school, he was handcuffed by the police for the haircut. FYI, a Beatles haircut was nothing but a pixie haircut.
Don’t know this school, nor its rules, but somethings never change, including principals with a hair up their rear ends.
A High School Gym teacher once had a kid ( who was musically inclined) suspended because of the legnth of his hair. The kid started a band that went by the names The Noble Five and One Percenters.
In 1969 the group decided to “honor” the teacher Leonard Skinner by renaming the group Lynard Skynyrd. The student Gary Rossington later had Mr Skinner attend concerts and they became friends.
A Reuters article about Bowe Berghdahl:
http://news.yahoo.com/ex-pow-bergdahl-did-not-try-desert-u-220017282.html
“U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was trying to find a U.S. general officer to report a disturbing situation when he left his combat outpost in Afghanistan and was captured by the Taliban, and he did not intend to desert, according to his attorney.”
YGBFSM.
Funny, when I was in most commanders had an open door policy so long as you followed the Chain of Command. So in essence the taliban were in his Chain of Command. Hpe he and his taliban sympathizer father rot in hell when this is over.
I can’t cite it now, but didn’t he leave all his shit at the base camp (including PT belt /s) and mailed the rest home to hippie dad?
Yes he did. Seems these are things you would need if you going to the main base to see the General.
sj:
He actually left without wearing his PT belt? That is General Courtmartial stuff for sure. He had been in long enough to know that when one leaves one base to walk to another base to talk to a General Officer, that one always wears his PT belt.
I didn’t realize that he was that wrong! Hang the bastard,using his daddy’s ponytail for the rope.
I hope he gets even loonier in his excuses, that ought to make prosecuting and convicting him much easier!!
Waiting for his lawsuit to get hormone therapy in 3,2,1…
I say he’s much more likely to sue for “medicinal marijuana”.
Funny how the Bar frowns upon people who claim to be active lawyers and take on clients when they aren’t qualified to do so.
Here’s hoping that transcript is made a matter of public record.
How ’bout going to another State and then “poaching” legit Attorneys’ clients when said person was denied admission to that State’s Bar?
“No, operator, we will not accept a collect call.”
“Sir, are you under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Sir? Are you there?”
“Sir, we’ve been at this for nearly an hour and you are now saying that we have the wrong number? Sir? Is that what I heard you just say, that we have the wrong number?”
“Sir, excuse me sir. We’re hearing grunting and groaning on our end. Please don’t say you are in the–Sir! Sir! Was that a toilet flushing?”
“No, we will not hold and we do not care that Dominos is at your door. Sir? Sir?”
As for the AT&T girl, I want to adopt her.
As for the AT&T girl, I want to adopt her.
Soooooo ….. that’s what you kids call it now-a-days!
I’d like to adopt her, too.
Right down to the hairstyle and the skin color, she looks exactly like my late wife did when she was in her early 20’s. My wife was Brazilian, so she had the Hispanic thing goin’ on too.
Sigh…
I was wondering around the interweb and found this http://members.calbar.ca.gov/courtDocs/14-O-00699.pdf
I guess someone dropped it.
It looks like his 20 days were up over 2 weeks ago. Shitbag seemed to think that he could just use his Ca License to practice where he kept it active or not.
Being a lay person it looks pretty cut and dry that he knowingly pimped himself off as an active attorney when he was not.
The huge turd in the punchbowl is he never told them that the Social Security Administration had censured and banned his ass,, 4 years ago.
All the other idiotic shit he has done may be just a moot point. I don’t think the California BAR wants the headache of trying to sort out all the stupid shit he’s pulled when they can just hammer his worthless droopy balls with what they have already.
So, not only is he not a CPO but he’s not a lawyer either.
This just gets better and better.
Not sure when the BAR is going to hammer his balls flat and take away his license, but he, unfortunately has been a lawyer for quite some time.
Of course he played it smart by simply retaining his license in Ca and peddling his bullshit elsewhere. Except the stupid shit tried to represent himself as a qualified attorney while he was inactive.
“BAR”?
Browning Automatic Rifle?
I got to shoot one ONCE, when I was in Saigon.
Some soldiers in the Army of the Republic of Viet Nam, i.e., “ARVN”, were on the range, and they let me fire their Browning Automatic Rifle, and then laughed in disgust because I had never fired one, and therefore, was a poor shot.
Did you know the BAR with a sawed off barrel was Clyde Barrow’s (i.e., of the Bonnie and Clyde duo) favorite weapon?
I new a WW2 old timer had one he would bring to deer camp every now and then. The good old days.
Looks like Danny-boi screwed the pooch big time – and the CA bar is not real happy with him (I knew that crap with the Yelp suit and lying about Randy Rosenblatt was going to bite him in the ass).
The Bar is gonna HAMMER THE DOG SHIT OUT OF YOU, Bernath! Pack your bags, you’re going to BOHICA city!!
Yeah, it looks like someone has stepped on himself here.
Repeatedly.
Wearing golf shoes.
And gotten caught.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. (smile)
Serious question: what’s the worst that can happen to him at this event? Seems like they will yank whatever license he has and that’s it?
That’s my understanding, sj. They could disbar him. I’m not a lawyer, so I might be wrong about that.
How likely that is, I don’t know. This makes him a repeat offender (as I recall, he had his license suspended previously), but his last suspension was some time time ago.
As I said above: “Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.” (smile)
Birdbath seems to have made a concerted effort to aviod actually doing legal work in the State he is licensed in.
His antics in Oregon have been mostly him representing himself. It looks like when he started soliciting clients for his “rainmaker” suits against YELP and the Aircraft manufactorer he bought attention to himself, and the fact he used an invalid license.
Depending on the severity, it could include jail time, but probably won’t. We’re not that lucky.
I think MCPO nailed it below, Flag.
I’m pretty sure the CA Bar Assn can only disbar him. However, if their hearing and/or investigation finds evidence of criminal wrongdoing they can also refer him to LE authorities for investigation. If LE authorities find it warranted, they can then prosecute.
Here’s hoping for both. If that indeed comes to pass, IMO “it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.”
Disbarred.
Referred for criminal charges.
The result of the hearing and the outcome is NOT going to be good for the Phony CPO!
CRAP!!!!!
Double CRAP!!! I hit the wrong button, the RED button, WHICH I DID NOT MEAN TO DO becuase I have not had enough caffeine yet and and stil bleary-eyed. MY BAD. SORRY.
So my questions is: where is this individual actually residing? Is it Oregonian or Floridian?
I’m understandably confused here, which added to my hitting the wrong button.
Last I heard, he was in Florida. The air here has smelled less foul recently, so I think he finally up and left. Though, I could be wrong. For all I know, he could be living in every single state, and a couple of different countries because of cruises he took, like he claimed under oath in a court of law.
I did a little when I read it too, from laughing 🙂
NANNY-NANNY BOO-BOO, [it sounds like] Bernath is in deep doo-doo! 😀
I don’t think it could happen to a more deserving critter!
My toilet clogged this morning for no reason that I can think of. I have done EVERYTHING possible to treat it like the golden throne it is. I have polished it, scrubbed it, bowed to it, sacrificed moths to it. I have done everything but kiss its porcelain ass. But this morning, it decided to go on strike.
I have spent a good portion of the afternoon trying to unclog it with hot water, patience, and an hour-long discussion with someone down in the south about plumbing, who told me at some point, use the plunger.
And so I did.
I now have brown liquid in both bathtubs. It made me think of several people whom I despise.
I’ll have to get some bleach tomorrow for the bathtubs and see what else I can do.
It almost sounds like you *might* have a clog downstream from the toilet, in the main drain pipe in your house to the city/town sanitary sewer line on your street. So the toilet water you flush is taking the path of least resistance back up into other drains on the same connection.
If you put a lot of water in the bathtub, or take a shower, does it drain OK?
If not, I would suggest a plumber. If bathtubs and such DO drain OK, it is kind of a weird problem. But for unclogging toilets, besides a plunger, try some really hot (as in boiling) water, procure and use a toilet “snake,” or get one of the real powerful drain unclogging liquid products (like Insta Power Hair and Grease) that actually create heat to break things up. And let it sit for some time before flushing out with hot water.
No, the outward flow is nearly zero, and I’ve done the boiling water. The flow has backed up into both bathrubs. I called the plumber who did some repairs for me in January, and he said it is on the sewer line. So I’ve put in that call. And I will get some bleach tomorrow.
I just love modern technology, don’t you? Not that I have any wish to return to the days of the outhouse or the chamber pot under the bed, mind you.
Yes, no late night/early morning trips over the glacier to take care of business. That’s how we old folks end up breaking our hips. That’s what happened to my paternal grandmother 45 years ago this month. She made a trip to the little building in the wee hours,slipped and broke her hip and was not found until after daybreak the next morning. She only lasted two days after that.
Got the diagnosis on the plumbing problem. The discharge to the main sewer line is dry (no flow through it) and there is a drip under my house that may be nothing more than a bad wax ring under the commode or may be the connector to the sewer line is off kilter (looks that way). Nice of the guy to come by and take a look at it, and the plumber is coming in the morning to give me his opinion. He’s a good guy and I know I can work out a payment deal with him. He’s the one who thawed my ice dam in January before it snowed enough to block the wind chill.
As I was afraid of, this was a job for a pro (the downside being that the pros cost $$).
But glad it’s been looked at and will be resolved. Hope it doesn’t hit the pocketbook too hard.
Well, if it’s a ruptured pipe, it should be covered by my homeowners policy minus the deductible. My agent’s office is closed right now (Sunday) but I can talk to him tomorrow.
Speaking of ruptured pipes, Uranus is the god of unexpected surprises, explosions, sudden ruptures, etc. I definitely did not expect any of this, so I guess pronouncing his name with the accent on the second syllable is appropriate.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the meatloaf.
Also, while I could have made some very bad puns like dipshit, full of shit, bog of stench, etc., I did refrain from doing so.
A few days ago, when my toilet clogged up, it took the maintenance man using a plumber’s snake to finally unclog it.
I had poured in Drano, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and used a super plunger from Wal-Mart, all to no avail.
Just in case it happens again, I now keep a plunger and a big bottle of Drano by the toilet, and a huge 36 cup capacity coffee pot on my stove.
I bought that humongous coffee pot
(i.e., which is not really a “coffee pot”, as it only boils water, but looks like a coffee pot) at a local sporting goods store, and while wandering the store, delightedly discovered they sold coonskin caps in MY size!
You better believe I grabbed that up!
I have had a crappy week. Sometimes a little humor changes everything With this in mind and this is an open thread A man came home from work, sat down in his favourite chair, turned on the TV, and said to his wife, “Quick! Bring me a beer before it starts!” She looked a little puzzled, but brought him a beer. When he finished it, he said, “Quick! Bring me another beer! It’s gonna start!” This time she looked a little angry, but brought him a beer. When it was gone, he said, “Quickly! Another beer! It’s gonna start any second!” “That’s it!” She blows her top. “You bastard! You waltz in here, flop your fat ass down, don’t even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave! Don’t you realise that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?” The husband sighed. “Oh shit. It’s started.” And then there was this: One evening the old farmer decided to go down and check on the swimming hole, because he hadn’t been to that area of the property in a while. He grabbed a five- gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence, and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming out until you leave!” Ron frowned, “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked.” Rob held the bucket up high and said, “I’m here to feed the alligator.” Some old men can really think fast! And last but not least: A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University at Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

I just relayed the first joke to Mrs BNG and she HAD to explain to me why “it started”.
No wonder TSO is afraid of her…
Thanks for those, E4U
Here’s a few more:
A 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband, decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out his old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was badly broken anyway. Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctors office to inquire exactly where the heart would be on a woman. The doctor said, “Your heart would be just below your left breast.” Later that night Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.
An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting on her long life, when, all of a sudden, a fairy godmother appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
“Well, now,” says the old lady, “I guess I would like to be really, really rich.” ***POOF*** her rocking chair turns to solid gold. She smiles and says, “Gee, I guess I wouldn’t mind being a young, beautiful princess.” ***POOF*** she turns into a beautiful young woman.
“Your third wish?” asked the fairy godmother. Just then the old woman’s cat wanders across the porch in front of them. “Ooh…can you change him into a handsome prince?” she asks. ***POOF*** there before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.
She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak. He saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear: “Bet now you’re sorry you had me neutered!”
My ex posted something nice about brown eyed brunettes as she is both.
My daughter, a blue-eyed blonde, posted that people with brown/brown were just so full of BS that it showed on the outside.
Don’t know why, but blonde jokes came to me immediately and I posted this:
That’s why blue eyed blonde women are joked about. They are a couple quarts low in the BS department so they can’t keep up with the rest of the people who are so full of it that their eyes and hair are brown. And the reason it’s blonde women and not men is that women don’t have a dipstick to check that their BS level is low so they don’t know. Men do have a dipstick, so we already know when our BS is getting low and can turn it up a couple of notches when needed without getting so full our eyes turn brown.
Seems reasonable to this blue-eyed blonde hair (what’s left anyway) old man that can hang with the best of the Bull Shitters.
As I type this, it is Zero Two Hundred (0200) Hours Mountain Daylight Time, and I’m getting ready to snack on a high technology computerized feast of – – –
SPAM and COOKIES ! ! !
I just got through taking a bunch of prescription pills to try and get rid of the virus.
Alas, I have a confession to make.
I regret to admit that I am a heroine addict.
I like girls!
There is so much amphetamine in this neighborhood, that signs have been posted to prevent accidental overdose.
The signs say, “SPEED LIMIT 25”.
Hey, ain’t ANYBODY else awake at Zero Two Hundred Hours plus Twenty Minutes Mountain Daylight Time (i.e., “0220”) besides me?
Well, same time, but Central time zone. Woke from a very effed up dream. Lots of those lately, for some reason.
Keep a journal. Jot down the dreams in it, date, subject, etc. Then go back and look at it later.
Woke up about an hour ago when my cell phone went off re: an Amber Alert. Yaaaawwwwwwwnnnn.
While looking at the news, I read this:

YGBRFSM.
“The poor boy has suffered enough already. He needs his veterans’ benefits. Just let him off.”
Holy crap. A little more “nod, nod, wink, wink” tone to it and it could have come straight from the Duffle Blog.
It hit close to 50 degrees here in Alaska. I ended up out on my deck in a t-shirt firing up the grill. It was glorious.
There is now talk of secession in a Yankee state. I guess New Yawkers outside of NYC don’t like the governor who was foisted upon them by the yuppie peeps in da Big Apple.

On the other hand, when you see your next door neighbor across the state line prospering from something, and you’re sitting on the same thing but you’re not allowed to touch it, because someone else a few hundred miles away is a CSIdiot, you can get quite testy about such things.
Oil shale fields no know state lines or boundaries. And some very fascinating fossils have been found in the Pennsylvania shales when they were turned up during road cuts.
The only real problem I can see is that in Oklahoma and Arkansas, pumping fracking sand with water into the shale is resulting in damaging earthquakes.
Q: How many Nooh Yawk liberals does it take to change a light bulb?
A: NONE! They’d rather sit in the dark and cuss each other out while they blame Bush!
None, because they’d light a candle to show their ‘green’ consciousness, forgetting that candles create a CO2 cloud when burning.
And for those of you who don’t believe karma is a bitch: remember the clown who berated a Chick-Fil-A employee a while back?

Falls under the first rule of life – don’t be a dick.
Screw him. Actions have consequences.
But I feel very bad for his wife and kids.
In my experience, most people who have his “do what I want and the hell with you” attitudes usually flock to those of their own kind because the rest of us with common sense and a respect for others wouldn’t have anything to do with him in the first place.
I have no facts on this, but he likely married someone who pretty much had the same way of thinking.
And children are pretty much brought up in their parent’s way of thinking.
So me feel sorry for the wife and kids? No, I can’t say I am. It’s a learning experience for all of them.
Seems to me that the main problem today is that people actually have no respect for themselves. Without self respect, you can’t show respect to anyone else.
Just my opinion.
I dont think his family wants anything to do with his shitbaggery. He’s the type to prevent them from seeing negative things on him….
This sounds similar to what happened to a guy that I know. He was a senior executive for a company that had all of their business with the federal government. He was on top of the world, pulling in $40,000 a month. For some bizarre reason, he felt it necessary to go onto the Internet and post disparaging remarks about veterans, woman and minorities. Before he knew what happened, he was out on his ass, without so much as a hearty handshake and/or a warm bowl soup. Things got so bad, he didn’t have a rug to piss on nor a mailbox door. Yeah, things definately did not turn out how he expected them to.
I couldn’t feel sorry for him if I tried to!
Lady Karma, she has a long memory. And she can indeed be vengeful.
Just remembered a question I have.
And I think this is a Navy thing:
What does the expression “hearty handshake and war cup of soup” mean?
I’ve been wondering about that, too. Pretty sure it’s not something I’d want to hear being directed at me.
It is called being nice.
I knew it was something derogatory, just have never understood what it meant. Have seen it used here a number of times, and Googling it got me nowhere.
If it’s something quite obscene, I guess I can see why peeps don’t want to explain. And I probably don’t want to know. 🙂
I think if you open the dictionary to the word “sarcasm” you might get a better idea. Plus, you can’t be sued for recommending some get a nice handshake and warm cup-o-soup.
And to borrow MCPO NYC RET’s catch-phrase:
But, what do I know?
;smile;
Bro, I answered the question you asked about air assault school, in the LtCol Green story.
If you haven’t seen it yet.
Thanks! I’ll have a look now.
As if there wasn’t already enough WTF in the world. Here’s a guy screaming at a canvas while he’s painting.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dZ3J02UAGs&w=560&h=315%5D
Good grief !
Ah! The kung-fu approach to oil painting. Yes, I took that as a weekend workshop. I threw paint at the instructor and then went for Chinese food at the Pinetree around the corner.
Good one !
Maybe that should be a new theme for Chinese restaurants. Scream at the food until it’s ready to serve. I think it would add a whole new dimension to the already rich ambiance of such establishments.
Yeah, shit like this gives us real artists a bad name.
Just like that fuckstick Jackson Pollack and his “I’m a poor, unappreciated, starving artist” crap did in the 50’s. NO, you were a drunk who married well and knew some people and that’s the ONLY reason your work is still known.
Fuck all of them
The only reason I can think of for him doing that is to record his voice into the paint, like a record. It can be read by a laser. However, why you would want anyone reading it listening to several people being tortured, including what sounds like a little girl, is beyond me.
Layman question here for the lawyers in the group:
Are state Bar disciplinary hearings usually open to the public?
You can always call and ask.

These two clowns picked the wrong couple to f*** with. I was told this took place in Poland.

Who but really drunken goons slap the face of a lady walking by with her husband or boyfriend?
Should have kicked the guy a few times while he was on the ground.
I checked in with All-Points Logistics to seek clarification of Commander Phil Monkress’ Native American, SEAL, Law Enforcement and Commissioning source claims.
Once again, Commander Phil Monkress was unavailable to clarify these statements as was his accomplices (senior staff).
It is my understanding that Commander Phil Monkress of All-Points Logistics is travelling. My best guess is that he is taking a vacation on the taxpayer dime. If I had to guess further, I would imagine that he is down in the Keys at one of his favorite local “ghey” watering holes listening to his favorite band, “Felony Ass Magic” as he engages in the new and extreme sport gaining popularity in such establishments, “Taint Diving”.
Oh how the less-than-mighty-have fallen.
Does Felony Ass Magic have and CDs I could listen to?
Or are they strictly online?
Really?
Felony Ass Magic would be a good name for a band.
Another favorite band name for me is Captain Crunch and the Coco Puffs
Yeah! An all-girl, very loud band in black with color LED lights that change with their music.
I can see the movie now: Felony Ass Magic – On Tour With The Band!
Better – Felony Ass Magic “High Ass-pirations”
Then there’s the sophomore album “Taking it in the shorts”
Their biggest hit single: Lettin’ it all hang out.
That’s on their 3rd album: Old Fellers And Rockers
Ran across this – Bernath has had some more recent dealings with the Oregon bar (see beginning at page 155) –
http://www.osbar.org/_docs/leadership/bog/agendas/20141115BOGagendaOPEN.pdf
Apparently Bernath represented to the Oregon bar that he had “retired” from SSA work. Apparently he failed to mention that he had been barred from SSA work – which is one of the issues in his current California troubles.
That is very interesting. So, they lied to the Oregon Bar? IT wasn’t just Bernath, but also his wife who claimed some kind of legal standing. How very interesting.
Speaking of which, didn’t she claim to have done some of his casework for him while he was rocking in his chair awaiting his next dose of meds?
I just read through that piece of work. That is one big family of joy. On an unrelated note, and if you have the stomach, scroll through and read some of the other cases before the Board. It’s no wonder lawyers have such bad reputations. They will screw over anyone to make a buck.
I’m guessing that Lawn Dart Danny just had to pull some copies from his records for his similar malfeasance to file the claim against this attorney.
Had to deal with a pissed-off Pizza Delivery Critter with an attitude issue a few days ago, he didn’t like the tip I gave him. It was “NEVER eat at a cheap Oriental Restaurant next door to a dog pound!” Seems like sound advice to me, whadda y’all think?
That’s a REAL good tip.
Ever hear the story about the 3 legged dog?
The owner quipped, “a dog that good, why eat it all at once!”
I had a three legged collie mix named Dixie,
She was the only dog I have ever had that knew she was a dog and loved being one.
We went to the pet store from time to time and I would always get the same question what happened to her leg?
I got tired of it and started making up crap, After a particularly bad Ice storm I said, “remember that Ice storm? Well we could not get out and needed protein”and left it at that.
The sales girl must not have a sense of humor because I had to explain to the local pd that I was just a sick individual and have them call the store manager. I had adopted Dixie from that store the year before.
ROFLOL ! ! !
Is she an American citizen?
If not, she should be. Any pretty woman from anywhere should receive full American citizenship upon request. No questions asked.
In fact, a large part of State Dep foreign duties should be scouting for pretty women and getting them citizenized.
As long as they are HOT, smart, have money and speaka de Englishe’ … I am good with that.
Bernath hearing 30 MAR 2015.
I just got the dial in (listen only number) and password for the hearing tomorrow.
Should be fun to hear, the transscript should be made public shortly after hearing.
That transcript will make for some pretty damning evidence in future legal (criminal and legal) proceedings.
KMRIA!
Hearing is Monday not tomorrow.
That’s a long way from 33919 Kingswood court.
Just sayen.
Hope the switchboard can handle the call volume.
So WHERE does he claim to live nowadays, Oregon, Florida, or some other place?
Will there be a recording? (I really prefer the transcript, myself.)
Hear, hear!
I do hope there is a recording and/or transcript offered. I’d prefer the transcript because the man’s voice sounds like a rat-dog going through a slow blender, but that’s just my opinion.
I just now learned that TOMORROW, Sunday 29 March 2015, is Viet Nam Veteran Day.
I had no idea.
Never heard a thing about it.
JRM, from what I see on the old Google-Fu, it all depends on where you as to when any type of festivities occur.
Some states say it was yesterday, some states/places are doing something today, and then yet others have it coinciding with Palm Sunday tomorrow.
It’s not marked on any calendars cause I guess it’s just a “floater” kind of a day.
Same here, no references at all to it in the media.
Since I take it as a “Welcoming Home” type of event, I’ll say this to all my fellow Vietnam Vets:
Welcome Home, Brothers !! Live Long and Prosper !!
Welcome home to both of you.
Thank you.
Are you a war veteran, also?
If so, welcome home and thank you for going where others would not go, and doing what others would not do, and most of all, for still being alive.
Iraq veteran
Thank you and welcome home.
As I recall, you were a helicopter pilot in the old Republic of Viet Nam, correct?
Well, thank you for having the courage and integrity to go where others would not go, and do what others would not do, and most important of all, for still being alive!
JRM, Helicopter Pilot – No.
Enlisted (PFC/SP4) Huey Helicopter Crew Chief in the Black Widows over at Beautiful North Phu Bai Combat Base.
But did get in a few hours of “chief’s stick time” on a few ash & trash missions.
Since I’d never heard of this, I decided to Google it.
At the official WELCOME HOME VIETNAM VETERANS DAY web site, they say it’s supposed to be on 30 March, and not 29 March.
Here is the URL for that web site:
http://www.whvvd.org/
JRM, that is not a national web site. It’s based out of the Land of Fruits and Nuts.
Reading through it, the first thing the founder is called is a hero, then he says he got the PTSD from carrying too much “garbage on his back” after his return from RVN, etc, etc.
Of course there is a “Donate to our Cause” button, but Buyer Beware on that.
I am unimpressed with it.
Just when I though my beard was starting to look awesome, spring comes along and with it comes the ruination of my lovingly cultivated sea of whiskers. Begone, spring! Bring back my beloved cold weather.
(Thumps flag gently on head)
I say out, out, you demons of insanity!
*phew* Thanks. I owe you one.
Rumor has it that there’s someone we all know and love hotdogging around in new wheels…..
Naw… untrue. I’m still banging around in a 13 y/o car. 😉
Is that the new TAH BAV with a bowtie on the grill?
Cool !!
Here’s the URL for a breaking news report about a former United States Army Airborne Ranger who is a highly decorated Iraq war veteran:
http://news.yahoo.com/boston-cop-coma-since-being-shot-face-suspect-122447112.html
He and his loved ones are definitely going to need your prayers.
https://youtu.be/HCu13af5eVM
Another utterly worthless knuckle dragger shooting a valuable and productive member of society. This is becoming hard for me to take.
God bless that cop and his family.
Worse it that all over twitter the jackasses are saying shit like “What about the guy that was killed!!! Why do they only care about that cop?!?!?”
Because the cop was a decent person unlike the scumbag that shot him, that’s why!!!
Dang it all. Was looking forward to watching “Cat Ballou” this evening, but had completely forgotten that the Fondawitch is in it. Now, the big question – is it possible to enjoy the other aspects of the movie, or will the traitor bitch ruin the possibility?
Just think of Lee Marvin’s Kid Sheleen and his drunk horse!
There! You’re absolved. Enjoy the movie.
Thanks!
Just a thought:
You know the way grass fed beef tastes like?
What does a vegan chick taste like?
Any thoughts on the issue?
Asparagus? and your pee smells funny later?
Grass-fed ones taste better, the tofu-fed ones are very bland!! 😀
Speaking of tofu, I actually tried it once on the advice of a vegan chick I was trying to make time with. It kind of pissed her off when i told her about how I made a sandwich with it with some bacon and frying the tofu in the bacon grease, I just had to tell myself “Oh well, NEXT!”.
Went to an allergist once and was tested for whatever in this state is wanting to kill me. Allergist said that I was highly allergic to tofu.
“So, no tofurkey? No soy milk?”
“You look really heartbroken about it.”
Yeah, it sucks but I guess I have to just stick to steak and potatoes
Another interesting article from Cracked:

Lots of Google info about the 78th Fighter Squadron. Here is a link to photos of the P-51s and Jerry Yellin’s plane the “Dorrie R”.
Kinda be nice if I added the link eh.

Hell, I thought you were just sending us on easter egg hunt, but if you want to make it easy by giving a link… 😀
HELP,
No kidding I need some help from one or more of you Vietnam era guys.
I was recently given the personal records of a Retired Air Force guy and in it were some of the propaganda leaflets that were dropped on the Vietnamese.
They look pretty interesting but I have no idea what they say. SO the ability to read and translate vietnamese would be a big plus.
wesley_wilson@me.com is my email. Drop me a note and I will send photos.
Thanks
Wesley – if you can’t get translator support right away, you might try Bing translator:
http://www.bing/com/translator
I’ve found it’s pretty good for getting the “flavor” of something in another language. You can generally pick out the meaning.
Only issue will be transcribing the comments, as Vietnamese uses a fair number of (by English standards) odd accents. However, there are some online resources that will help, and you could always install the Vietnamese language option for your word processor (or find one with that already installed).
Try imtranslator.

It accommodates a lot of the less widely-used languages.
I am a frequent customer at the local grocery store. It is nearby and I think nothing of going there daily, sometimes more than once in a day. Anyway, all this is to say that I recognize the distinctive EBT (welfare) debit card from watching people use it. The advantage of the card, according to the state EBT website, is that it “Reduces stigma associated with use of benefits.” Not so much. I just returned from a trip to the store and the couple in front of me used the card to buy very expensive items. Among the stuff was a package of Italian sausage and a nice looking steak. After using the EBT card for those and other items, the couple paid cash for the quart bottles of beer and the cigarettes they bought. Is this the way it’s supposed to work, that welfare recipients get to buy what many working people who smart shop can’t? Use the card for expensive stuff and use their cash for beer? If so, it’s no wonder the Emperor was re-elected. Oh, and for the guy that likes to break out the racist card here, the couple was white.
That’s nothing. I watched a tattooed up couple pay for their groceries with an EBT and then pulled out a wad of cash to buy a 60″ TV that cost about $700.
Arrrggghhhh.
I’ve seen well-dressed young women with perfect manicures, the newest & latest cell phones and designer clothes pay for food with WIC stamps while smiling! Whatever happened to “If you can’t feed ’em, don’t breed ’em!”?
The norm is to sell the steak door to door and that becomes your beer money.
Bernath is scheduled to defend himself in front of a female hearing officer… Knowing Bernaths demonstrable contempt for lady lawyers, this should be interesting. Too bad it’s over the phone, but I suspect there will be plenty of “Mr Bernath, please stop interrupting!” (I REALLY hope he suggests ending each communication with “over.”
This warms my little black heart. I wonder how many times he will address the judge as the clerk. I so very much hope there will be a recording/transcript of the proceedings.
JAGC, you just made my day!
I hope she’s not Black or Hispanic. There will be a meltdown. Actually I hope she is.
It is funny you should mention that.
I suspect the presiding panel knows EVERYTHING they need to know!
Yeah … When you pick a fight with a MCPO … It gets dirty, unfair and serious very quick.
He better bring his “A” game tomorrow.
Oh, we have seen his “A” game … Never mind.

Rule 5-100 of the State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct prohibits an attorney from threatening an opposing party with criminal prosecution or professional disciplinary actions to gain an advantage in a civil matter
In the continuing saga of Days of My Plumbing, this episode returns us to the Master Bathroom at the mountaintop castle of the Kingdom of Ex-PH2.
Yea, verily, The Plumber did arrive at Castle Cloggedup. Alas, it was raining and cold, and the wind did blow mightily. The Plumber, duly apprised by Ex-PH2 of the problem, did ask that the Secondary Commode Royale be flushed. And it was flushed. The Plumber did poke the Castle underneath in a tender place with his assistant, Sir Lance of Ducktape, but still the Overboard Discharge Pipe did not flow forward, but instead did stubbornly refuse to flow in any but backwards. The Plumber did then call forth his assistant, The Snake, and did insert said assistant headfirst into the Commode Royale. But it was to no avail.
Twice, thrice and four times did the Snake engage in routing the Enemy, Sir Clog de Crapper, in the secondary Commode Royale. But no forward flow forthcame. The Plumber did then convey his assisant, the Snake, to the Master Commode Royale and insert the Snake headfirst again into the Overboard Discharge Pipe, again to no avail.
The enemy, Sir Clog de Crapper, is a fierce and stubborn sort. At one point, his Pic ‘n’ Save card came floating to the top of the waterline in the Master Commode Royale. The Plumber exclaimed “Something stuck its nose out!” and engaged the Snake right fearsomely.
Thus, sweating but undaunted, the Plumber has vowed to return on the morrow, to disassembled the entire set of Commodes Royale and route out the Enemy, Sir Clog de Crapper, with great force and bravura.
While I stood by, I suggested that A. Critter could have found its way up the Overboard Discharge Pipeline. Meanwhile, I await further developments and have been made welcome in the Kingdom of McDonald.
Stay tuned for our next episode.
Any ideas on the manifestation of Sir Clog de Crapper are welcome. But don’t start with ‘very small stones’.
Fart proudly!
If he goes through the roof vent he won’t have to disassemble the terlit.
