Toasty wants a Superbowl Weekend Open Thread already, so here it is, along with the picture she sent. Who is playing in this game, anyway? If the Giants ain’t in it, I don’t care.

You must spend a lot of time not caring. Go Hawks.
HA! Nicely played…
Now, now, it’s not polite to pick on the guy whose horse enjoys breaking its own leg right out of the gate.
Go Hawks. 😛
Well it’s not like you’re a REDSKINS fan.
/should have bought stock in kleenex
Word.
I have trouble wondering if the Redskins even care about the playoffs anymore.
This saddens me.
G.T. (corrected)
“I have trouble wondering if the
RedskinsDan Snyder even cares about the playoffs anymore.”This saddens me.
G.T. the big warning sign you missed was when coach Gibbs Switched from football to managing a NASCAR team. Hint Hint Joe
“I’m AW1Ed, and I’m a Redskins fan.”
12 Step Group, “Hi, AW1Ed!”
And I stocked up in paper bags to wear, not kleenex.
We have no money anymore.
Maybe Snider and the boys will start passing offering plates around the stadium at games.
It seems to be the only way.
Even sponsors are not there anymore.
We suck.
“Hi, Green Thumb!”
Here’s your paper bag.
Yeah, they only beat the Pats.
TWICE.
And allow me to send my hearty weekly “FUCK YOU” to the Dutch Rudder Club.
Rustle, rustle, bitches.

This little guy made his pick for the game – has picked the winner the last three superbowls:
I agree with the porcupine. Of course, maybe they’re slathering those ears of corn with the same stuff you put on a toaster strudel.
Great video, Senior! Thanks for sharing. Go Seattle! 😀
Missed it!!! Number 5 this weekend. Bummer.
I had no idea porcupines sound like Curly from The Three Stooges.
You should see the video of him chowing down on mini pumpkins…constant squeaky nom nom noms. Must be like porcupine manna from heaven.
For some reason, I can’t get Don King out of my mind now.
Only Don King?
You got off easy.
Try having Anna Mae Bullock stuck in your head now for all eternity.
One of the cutest videos on the net. Definitely likes them mini pumpkins.
Thanks Jonn 🙂

3.Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool slightly, remove from sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Okay, Toastie….all we need now is directions to your house!! 😉 I LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies!
In reference to the picture above showing the pint of Guinness – if any of you like a good stout every now and then, you’ve got to try Murphy’s Stout, IMHO better than Guinness. (problem is, you can drink many more of them)
You are all welcome to come on by for adult beverages, cigars and yummy food….
contact me on FB for location..Jonn has info 🙂
For your viewing pleasure Budwieser’s Superbowl commercials from last year and part two for this year are below 🙂
Does this mean the official TAH Superbowl Party is at your house, Toasty? 😛
@Flagwaver~
Yeppers 😀 All are welcome except the Dutch Rudder Commando Team.
The Dutch Rudder Gang? TO HELL WITH ‘EM, none of them have enough spinal fortitude to even think about showing up!!
TO THE DUTCH RUDDER GANG, KISS THIS!!!

Infidel – (looks like the Irish Curse to me)
When you ask the question – why, are you Irish? Answer: what do you think!!
LiRight, do you also post on the ullshido blog with the same screename? Joe
Joe,
Negative. Can I assume that you meant *bullshido* blog? (I Googled it) The answer would still be no – Good God, to think there’s another nut like me out there with the same handle is scary!
That looks like the original Quaker Oats Recipe sans those nasty little flies, er raisens.
Love that picture of the Guinness. That’s my favorite beer! Now I’m a loyal and long suffering Detroit Lions fan. 😀 And I’ll be pulling for Seattle for the big win. 42 to 24 To hell with Pretty Boy Brady and the New Englishmen! Get some.
One ALWAYS wants to have a fork handy when drinking Guinness, That way you can enjoy the chunks left at the bottom of your mug!!

Another hearty FUCK YOU from me to the imbeciles in The Dutch Rudder Club. As far as I kno, their most vocal imbecile still accuses the wrong man of being me, they’re up to at least six by now, and Daniel A. Bernath said to me that innocent men being accused was my fault because I have voluntarily given him my private info.
“Some people think they are crystal flutes of fine champagne while in reality they’re cheap plastic cups full of warm piss.” -Unknown
Daniel A. Bernath is a fine example of one such person.

I can not stand the Patriots.
I don’t like Seahawks.
I want both teams to fail!
In review, I don’t care!
OUT!
I’ll be watching the commercials more closely than I will the game, beer commercials are usually the best! 😀
Same here.
Is there any way both teams can lose?
Yes.
Acquire a few ex-Redskin free agents.
No there isn’t…but the good news is that only matter to fans of the losing teams because as far as the NFL is concerned the teams and their performance has long been secondary to the NFL’s primary product offerings which are merchandise of their sponsors and their own branded products.
The real money started being made in football when people who ran teams started realizing they could sell jerseys…and now you have 2.5 hours of commercials during a sporting event whose time clock only has 60 minutes on it….
If ever there was a sport more perfectly designed for television and commercial product sales I am unaware of the existence of any other than football.
Veritas Omnia Vincit…Thank you and Here-Here! I am starting to feel like “professional NFL and NBA sports teams” should have to go the way of “professional sports wrestling” that being, no sports involved just entertainment, money and lots of it. I remember hearing Jim Brown interviewed long ago. To his dismay, compared to the time of the interview, he recalled making $60K a year at his best and he played for the game and not as much the money. Perhaps he was sour grapes and was a bit disingenuous, I don’t know. But his sincerity had me believing. Maybe he and others of his generation did and maybe they didn’t play only for, the love of the game. But they had far more respect from me than the current crop of “professional athletes”.
I always throught boxing was perfect for TV. Tree minute rounds and one minute rest breaks . Joe
Maybe they will arrest both Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick.
Two known and wanted criminals.
We’re on the same page…..BUT…..those “oatmeal raisin cookies” by Toasty Coasty are tempting!
January 30th is also the anniversary of the 1945 Great Raid on Cabanatuan Prison Camp where US Army Rangers and Filipino Guerrillas liberated Allied prisoners.
ohio…Thank you for the reminder. I just spent some time rereading about this event.
As I was walking up to the garden today, I stepped in a semi-frozen pile of Phil Monkress.
Looks like it is time to scoop!
2014….
Toasty Coastie…So do the guy and girl farmer neighbors fall in love and have sex? Is that the double entendre to the puppy and horse?
2015 Part 2
Just saw Part 1 and now Part 2. Got 2 great big tear drops running down my face. 🙂
I should have put a tissue alert up…Bud does a great job…there are a couple of others that bring tears…9/11 one especially.
On 9/11, I was at the VAMC Battle Creek working out in the gym, trying to bench press 275lbs for the first time in my life. The radio was on and I heard the news. I rushed back to Ward 14 and the guys are gathered around the TV in stunned silence. I took a chair. I didn’t move for hours. About 2 weeks later, they put me in Ward 39-2, the violent lock down ward. I was a wreck. Jesus….
I was getting ready for a VA appt when I got a call to put tv on and watched it as it happened…then got another call that VA was on lock down and appt was cancelled….I was a mess….lost a couple of dear friends that day…
I was up in Northern Indiana waiting for my next load assignment (I was an OTR Trucker then) when I turned my radio on and couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I thought it was some “War of the Worlds” type of media stunt. I then turned my TV on and was still in shock refusing to believe it. Later that day, I was thankful they took another two hours to get me my next load, I would not have been able to safely drive without calming down.
I still drove a semi-truck for a living after that, but it felt SPOOKY driving through major cities without seeing any aircraft flying, seeing air traffic resume afterward was a very reassuring sight.
0300 on Johnston Island. Me and the soon to be Mrs nbcguy were working the night shift that week but were off that night. Lounging around half asleep with the TV on for noise. To say the least, when the news guys “interrupted our regularly scheduled program”, we were awake. 22 off-island phone lines and 1200 of us. It’s a wonder those lines didn’t melt.
0600 California time. Ex and I had just come back from Hawaii that Sunday.
Drove from Alhambra to Lynwood and saw the freeways EMPTY in that time. Ditto air traffic, as Lynwood was between the 91 and 105, which is right on the LAX approach.
Didn’t even see any of the footage until I got home from work that afternoon. Just as well I hadn’t.
I was in NYC. I was 2 blocks north of #1 WTC when it collapsed.
The dog rocks.
Here’s another one they’re running this year that’s a hoot:
They don’t even have to advertise their product in these ads, once you see the horses you know what it is. That is an amazing act of branding really, at no time until the very end to they show a bud because it’s not necessary to the ad or the product thus they are free to tug at the heart strings a bit with their commercials….horses and dogs, how much more American can you get?
Nicely done on every level.
Babies with Guns?
Now that’s just irresponsible…unless the babies were using those guns against jihadists…
I only wish that their beer was as good as their commercials.
It’s all a matter of taste. My tastebuds are dead, so it doesn’t matter.
Toasty Coastie…Now I get it now in part 2. It’s all clear now. Yep, they fell in love, had sex but before a year was out, they busted up and are both now on internet dating sites. 😀
Taking a massive Giduck. When philo takes a crap, the image of John Giduck appears on the paper.
John Giduck – the turd with a face
Hey, what ever happened to that a$$hole? Is she (opps) still getting gigs?
National felon league ad bowl.
No thanks.
Let’s see.
One team has a QB that spends one afternoon a week visiting sick kids in various hospitals.
The second team has a majority of players who spend one afternoon a week either performing community service or meeting with their P.O.
Must be an East vs. West thing.
Elaine, Elaine where for art thou? Could this poor soul have possibly uncovered a secret plot to defraud the gooberment and been disposed of by Palmer Wickre, CEO of the FirsTech, before she could tell the Feds? The world wonders? #ElaineRicciAmericanHero
Maybe APL has whisked her away to an undisclosed location at the behest of FirsTech and APL honchos, she could be on the same uncharted Pacific island with Jimmy Hoffa, Jim Morrison, Elvis, and Emilia Earhart along with Sasquatch. (Apparently only Elvis and Sasquatch know how to leave the island and return – *Wink*. 😉

I need to report global warming, it will be -25 degrees (WCF) here tomorrow.
I thought he should know.
Oh … And we have had snow covering since day after Thanksgiving.

If still in NY what county are you in? I’ve done a lot of hunting over the years in Schoharie and some in Cortland Counties – and it does get wicked cold up there.
In a rambling, vile, threatening missive to Jonn recently, Paul Wickre wrote:

Psul, you gutless punk.
Oh, BTW… I’m in Waukesha Wisc. and can be found with a little effort. I am known by the very screen name I use here.
I eagerly await arrival of the “hitmen” you said you’d hire, meaning you don’t have the stones to do anything yourself.
You forgot Paul-mer (of the Ballsack) Wickre.
Psaul of the ballsack……..Tip of the day. I’ve got a friend who once owned a old Jag, similar to yours. He solved the problem of the shitty leaking Jag motor. He pulled it and dropped a Chevy 350 in it. Solved the leaky motor problem. Maybe after you replace your mailbox and build a proper garage, you can start on the Jag. Just a thought.
You also forgot Psulie-boi, the Spandex King of Dupont Circle.
If you’re going to be a Dennis (Denny) Howard Chevalier, don’t pull a real cop over! 😯
Despite the availability of the internet, its search functions, and information on other phony cops pulling real cops over, this knucklehead should’ve known better. 🙄
Their failure to do their research, to see if anybody has tried this before, serves as entertainment to the rest of us.

LMAO!! It could only happen in Dumfries! 😀 Now I’ll have to buy myself a new keyboard, spilled hot coffee all over the place! 🙁 I have to give the guy some credit, at least he had the good sense to turn himself in. Can’t imagine what his modus operandi must’ve been. Probably a mental case. 😀
For the super Bowl, instead of giving the name of the college from which most of the players received unearned degrees, each player should have to give his name and provide the name of the last jail or prison where he was held or served time. (e.g., Aquanarius Brown-el, THE Ohio State Penitentiary.)
Well, the mainstream media will have none of that. We are not only to believe that these fine fellows actually graduated college, but that any trouble they have gotten into is simply due to “lack of opportunity,” “poverty,” or America’s “racism.”
How many of them have degrees in Physical Education with a minor in things like Underwater Basket Weaving?
I don’t know if you all felt that, but today the Army sighed a collective relief with the retirement of the Raymond “Clownshoes7” Chandler. May he enjoy policing the golf courses and terrorizing poor baggers everywhere.
So that this is crystal clear, I want everybody to know….I am for the team that wins. Neutral turf, thats me. bwahahahahaha!
The greatest legal mind chimes in on a MLK Day article.
Racist much Bernath?
http://www.myfoxny.com/story/27893679/mlk-day-menu-offends-some
One of his comments: “they are a race that has been handed and squandered thousands of opportunities and a race that goes out of its way to be angry about nothing or little.”
Oh what the hell, here’s one more from Bernath: “I used to take a short cut through the negro neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Only place on earth where I would see a giant farm trailer, full of watermelons, sold to the indigenous population out the back.”
I didn’t realize that Indians (Native American that is) enjoyed watermelons that much. Learn something new every day from Professor Bernasty now don’t we?
We should ask Commander Phil Monkress at All-Points Logistics.
He claims Native American heritage but is unable to give a tribal affiliation.
Odd.
Especially since he (to include his less- than-ethical staff) and All-Points Logistics have procured contracts under that claim/statement.
Phil the Monkeys-ass didn’t mean tribal affiliation, he meant penis colony affiliation. He looks like a big dick head so there’s no way he could be Native American.
Has anyone reported him to the VA CVE, Center for Verification and Evaluation for veterans certification of business. The VA-OIG really likes to prosecute those that lie about their qualifications. VetBiz.gov. Just in case anyone’s interested.
I just checked his status…it’s been denied.not qualified, and he pulled out of the verification process before he could be prosecuted for false application.
WHAT? Daniel A. Bernath say something racist? OY VEY, perish the thought – NOT!! 😉
(((((OVER)))))
Why are you surprised by this? That crapweasel is an attention whore and a drama queen. He expects YOU to go there and castigate him for saying those things. Stay out of it. Let someone else do it.
And while you’re keeping your silence, save a screen shot of what he says. The more crap he spouts, the better for TAH.
I’d love to drop him off in my old stomping grounds (grandparents lived on 67th and Arlington, I was in Inglewood/Hawthorne as a kid) and watch that racist anti-Semite fuckstain blow out his catheter.
Rustle, rustle, bitch.

Depauw cancelled classes for entire day to enforce and suggest a notion of “white privilage.”
Students were directed to attend while the classes they paid for were not held.
I could not attend, my schedule was packed with an indoor golfing lesson, skiing, shopping for new polo pony and a massage at the country club.

Damn it… Psul told Jonn that none of the posters here were to refer to Paul Wickre or Karen Williams ever again. Or there would be hell to pay.
I myself am taking that threat very seriously, and have vowed never to say Paul Wickre or Karen Williams ever again in this blog.

Internet rumor has it that if you mention Paul K. Wickre’s name three times while standing in front of a mirror, the door on your mailbox will fall off.

Now, let me go check the mailbox.
Mailbox door is still there, and a check for almost $900. I think that I am on to something here.

I was going to compliment Paul K. Wickre and Karen Williams on something. Unfortunately, I couldn’t think of anything to compliment Paul K. Wickre and Karen Williams on. I guess I won’t mention Paul K. Wickre or Karen Williams at all.
If you are looking for a compliment to give to the Vice President of Sales at FirsTech Solutions, you can say that he cuts a dashing figure, whether in a $5 leisure suit or a Montgomery County Correctional Facility orange jumpsuit.

Global Warming update: It is 9 degrees here (- 5 to – 10 with WCF).
That is all!
I’m tracking the snowstorm that is supposed to engage in a front assault on my kingdom. The front line of the assault has moved from Colorado and Kansas at 08:00 hours to Nebraska and Wyoming, with forces gathering en masse in Montana.
We’re doomed! Doomed, I tell you!
I’m going to the store to get a gallon of milk. I have plenty of books to read, DVDs to watch, manuscripts to review, and birdfood to distribute to the starving masses. I’m armed to the teeth with salt and an ergonomic shovel that no snow can deny.
EX……….sunny and clear here in the great northwest. I’ve got the woodstove cranked up. A pot roast in the Ninja. Sitting in my favorite chair, watching the tugs and barges go up and down the Columbia River. Life is good!
Since I do live in Wahington State, I’m rooting for the Hawks tomorrow!
Go Hawks!
Go Bears!
There seems to be a mismatch between the radar returns which show rain or snow (depending on location) and the realtime dry ground and streets.
If i’m in the middle of a wintry mix, it’s way up off the ground, because I have dry earth and dry streets. No snow, no rain, no nuttin’.
PTSD death penalty
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/should-veterans-with-ptsd-be-exempt-from-the-death-penalty/ar-AA8Mird?ocid=fbmsn
As a 100% service connected disabled (bipolar, suicidal) veteran (peacetime, less than 3 years service, ’96 to ’99, submarine duty) myself, I’m still a little mixed up on this issue. But I was glad when this cold blooded cop killer was finally put to death. Brannan shot the Deputy, Kyle Dinkheller (22 years old, married, father of 2), 9 times even when the guy was down on the ground screaming, begging for his life. That did it for me. But that being said, I think PTSD should be taken into CAREFUL consideration. Each individual case should be scrutinized and studied. Is the crime severe enough to warrant an execution? In Brannan’s case it most certainly was. I just don’t want to see a “one size fits all” or a “zero tolerance” approach. Here’s an idea. Assemble a panel of judges (anywhere from 5 to 9) who each have military combat service of their own. Have them decide the fate of the accused. I don’t know. Does that make any sense?
First, verify the accused and convicted’s TRUE service record – not what they SAY they’ve done. Second, have a DOCTOR (that has STUDIED PTS) verify any PTS (or not). Most, if not all, that have PTS, are quiet and withdrawn, NOT murderous flaming assholes.
In Brannon’s case, as has been posted earlier in TAH, there has been mucho doubt cast as to any actual service, much less any PTS. So throw the switch, push the plunger, trip the trapdoor, pull the trigger. He deserves nothing less.
@ B WOODMAN:
I’ll be driving to Salt Lake in the morning for my Monday morning Physical Therapy appointment at the VAMC.
Unfortunately, no one has sent me your contact information, although I did request it.

I reckon we’ll run into each other sometime.
Anyway, you’d probably be disgusted seeing me moan and grown with pain every couple of minutes.

Bacon Seeds…
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152214090366968
Hell, Yeah. Bacon Seeds. By my calculations, if you start them out now on pellet feed, in 22 weeks (154 days) they should finish out at about 220 pounds. That will be just in time for 4th of July BBQ/Grilling/Pulled Pork picnic meals.
Oh, and just as a reminder on slaughter day the only part of the hog that doesn’t get used is the squeal.
I’m going to try short ribs in the crock and make barbecue sauce with balsamic vinegar, plus the rest of the stuff. Not now, end of February.
Ex……….Great minds think alike. I bought short ribs today. I put them inI the freezer for later. My pot roast today turned out great. Had the roast with potatoes, celery, carrots, followed by brown gravy with mushrooms. Yummy do!
Gas prices are fluctuating again. To find the best price in your area, go to gas buddy or type ‘gas prices in (town or zip code) and wait for the list to come up. Then click on the map icon. It helps.
The difference between now and a year ago is $3.859 a year ago and $2.239 now. That’s $1.65, a huge difference.

I’m no longer sleeping in my pickup truck.
I can’t afford this apartment, as the rent is well over half of my monthly income, but at least, now I’m in out of the Winter weather.
In the meantime, I’m on the waiting list to move into Golden Age Manor, which I was told is Section Eight (i.e., my rent would only be thirty-five percent of my income) housing for seniors, and the REP FOR VETS web site is trying to get the VA to increase my Service Connected rating.
My brother recommended REP FOR VETS to me, because they succeeded in getting a hundred percent Service Connected rating for him.
I’m told I’m eligible for food stamps, and I can probably get Meals On Wheels, too.
A few hours ago, some friends delivered a bed (courtesy of the Church?) and an old table with a couple of chairs.
One of the chairs collapsed when I sat in it, but right now, as I’m typing this, I’m sitting in the other one with no problems.
My Internet provider, Strata, said it would be weeks before they could hook me up, but surprisingly, it was done last night.
So, I am in FAT CITY – – – I think?
They don’t allow firearms in this apartment complex, but it’s against the law for them to do that, based on a Maine State Supreme Court ruling on 04 April 1995, i.e.:

So, y’all enjoy the Super Bowl, while I’m driving to Salt Lake through all these spectacular mountains.
I love to PLAY sandlot football, but watching it on television is boring, and just puts me to sleep.
Narrator: A couple of guys with white lab coats drag the screaming, scowling, cheese swamp monster in.
White Lab Coat Guy 1: This guy won’t be bothering you folks anymore!

“Now let’s all grab a Chevy Snack!”
A few years back, I was flipping through the channels, and came across a Scooby Doo episode on Boomerang. I guess that back in the day, Scooby Doo was the equivalent of The Simpsons, as they had a lot of guest stars, particularly pop music acts. This particular episode had The Mommas &The Poppas. Of course, at the end of the episode, they exposed Old Man Wickre as the man haunting the abandoned corporate park in Reston. The deleted scene from that episode was when Mamma Cass choked to death on a Scooby Snack.

I’m still waiting for the first clown to break 30.
Okay ladies and gents. My Sunday morning horror story. I have to admit some things about myself, knowing I open myself to some head shaking, face palming, WTF comments. But I know I am among trusted brothers and sisters. (Sisters…please be wary of this subject. I am trying to be a gentleman here.) I am either very naive, very out of touch or very out of the loop of recent year’s street vernacular. So, I get an email from an old friend which simple said in the subject line with no body text, “DO NOT GOOGLE BLUE WAFFLE AND CLICK ON IMAGES!!!” Now, as soon as I get this what do I do? Oh course, you nailed it! I touched the cookie jar. Now…I’m scared! I mean I really want to hide in the corner scared until my eyes stop bleeding.
For those of you aware of this older slang term, “blue waffle” you already understand. For those fortunate enough to still be like me, until a few moments ago, innocent and having a somewhat “cleaner brain”, I recommend you not do what I did.
Anyway to close I do so with this.
***WARNING***
Blue Waffle is Not Safe For Work, Women, Children, Those with Pace Makers or Tourette Syndrome. You have been warned.
Please feel free to point and laugh at me, if I am the last person on the planet to hear of this term and look it up.
I’ll admit I’ve never heard the phrase either. Now, I am simultaneously curious and afraid. In order to spare some of us the trauma you just experienced, would it be possible to give us, in general terms, some idea of what it is?
MrBill…Don’t be afraid brother. I wouldn’t steer you wrong. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Sparks, if somebody sends you pron, you should just tell him he’s an asshole and if you die of heart failure, your dear wife has permission to sue the pants off him.
And for the record, I have not heard of ‘blue waffle’ until now and do NOT want to know. Period.
Ex-PH2…Thank you. I have a qualified attorney on retainer. 😀
The SNOPES web site says that “Blue Waffle Disease” is fake.
John….Yes while it is urban myth, the images in Google are…well, nuff said.
Hours to go until kickoff, and Hack’s Not An Honorary CPO Jambalaya is simmering on the stove. It is pretty easy to make, all you need is real ingredients, none of that “honorary” stuff.
