Weekend open thread
I’m taking some mental health time off. You guys go ahead and talk among yourselves. Drop off links, call each other names, exchange recipes, whatever it is you do in these things. Maybe some of the others will write something for you, but I need a break. Enjoy.
Category: Open thread
Hack, I would like to join you, but I have stories to write. Maybe next year. A halfway moot. There must be beer fests and Celtic fests everywhere.
On THAT other topic, things are imploding. Just as well, I think. The splatter factor should be impressive.
I hope that news cameras have a good angle to film the perp walk.
Iron Man 3 tonight … Just hit On Demand!
Eff Iron Man…Strike Back is on tonite!!!!
I’m finishing the succubus story tonight, dammit!
And I will have a crunchy PB&J sandwich for supper, and I don’t care who knows it.
We made some calzones and marinara sauce for them. And enjoyed them immensely. Chilling out this week-end after a couple of very busy weeks. Pouring a wee glass of vino in 3-2-1.
This weekend promises to be nice weather. The price of gas at the pump has dropped from $3.999 beginning of September to $3.299 yesterday, so I put some in the tank. (The carwash discount price for gas is $2.999.)
So I am going to take advantage of the nice weather, get stuff done around the house, let Mikey have some time on the front steps with the catnip, and make some totally awesome chicken nuggets and chicken/rice/veg stirfry with orange ginger sauce… and finish that bottle of Casillero del Diablo sitting in the bottom of the fridge. I may even haul out my ‘Tour of Duty’ DVDs and have another go-round with that.
I may not be around very much as a result, but you all will not be far from my thoughts.
I learned today in class that the reason Obama (The US) won the diplomatic face off with Putin over Syria was that he played basketball.
Yeah, you read it correctly.
It was Obama’s prowess and steadfast studiousness of the game that taught him that you set up pivotal plays several plays in advance. No mention of time outs, though. And he took that experience to the diplomatic, CINC level to bargain our position within a global/peace context.
Basketball.
I pointed out that he was not a collegiate or professional athlete at that sport but it fell on the next question so it became irrelevant.
This individual teaching has a PhD from Berkeley.
Yeah.
I had to sit there and deal with it. But I was polite.
I will be drinking tonight; heavily.
Just so you know I am a moderate Democrat. But this takes the fucking cake.
Now you guys see what I have to deal with up here in the Great NW.
Out. The ‘Shine is calling….
EllTee GreenThumb, that is ‘Berserkley’.
Learned that a while back.
Why the hell did I make this entry in an ancient Open Thread? Because when I selected Open Thread from the Categories menu only two came up and this was one of them.
I NEED HELP. Does anyone know how to properly present a huge US flag (>40′) to be held by a couple of dozen athletes on a field for the National Anthem? I need soup to nuts on this, from carrying, presenting, to retiring it. Many thanks for helpful information that will gety me where I need to be on this!
