How many axe handles was the distance between the eyes of Babe the Blue Ox?
Bonus question – how many axe handles wide is Michelle’s glutenous maximus? -
Don’t know about tween the eyes but 42 axe handles between the tips of the horns,…..I think?
Michell’s Butt? I’d say about 63?

So the storm is still in the gulf? Latest advisory has it in Lake Barre, 29.2N 90.5W, or just southeast of Houma La.

A black, conservative lady who happens to be a Morman?! Naw,…can’t be. NO black person could EVER stray that far off the plantation.
I wonder what time she was on, I watched from 6:30 to 10:30 and missed her. -

Mornin’ y’all. Isaac sure is moving slowly. I thought sure the news would be full of death and destruction in NOLA this morning.

But when she sits down, it spreads to 144″. That’s gross. -
Before I crashed last night I checked the Weather Channel to get the latest position. Al Roker was standing in the street in NOLA describing the “torrent” of water rushing down the street. As the camera panned it looked to be about one inch deep and four inches wide along the curb. I was more worried about Al turning in to a flying squirrel in the wind since he lost all that weight and has skin flaps now.

The best one I saw was an 8 minute clip from MSMNBC showing a reporter in the street complaining about the 50MPH wind and then he would squat so he wouldn’t get blown away, proclaiming that he would have to “sit this one out.”

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting’s #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can’t speak in a fake, southern, “black preacher voice” when necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School …and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn’t smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today’s America ?
7. Represents an America of “yesterday”…when people believed in God, went to Church, didn’t screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons….and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. (but of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that “choice” deserves America ‘s scorn).
9. Oh yes…..he’s a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point… pundits say because of his wealth, he can’t relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that’s because he made that money HIMSELF…as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn’t understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unable to relate to Americans. -
This is still the best one:

Click on the eastern Atlantic satellite loop and watch the circulation of the storms around the Atlantic. The storm come off of equatorial Africa, move west then north, then east and finally back over Africa to dump more water and start the cycle all over. When the storms are over water they collect water and then dump that water on Africa. I find the process very interesting.

That’s the basis for calling them racist. They think that their lily whiteness makes them more valuable than all those icky brown people and therefore won’t be killed.

Wonder if we should WARN the Utah authorities? heeheehee -
PMSNBC, the BS channel, actively censors people of color.
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
The racist double standard, rank partisanship and flat out lies are beyond the pale. The station has forfeited any claim to the title “news” anywhere in their description. They are nothing but socialist, democratic (redundant, I realize), hyper-partisan hacks; izzit any wonder why they have so few viewers?

Watching the PBS coverage last night, I could NOT get over the blatant “why, the Republicans are really just a group of white racists aren’t they?” slant to their interrogation of Newt Gringrich. Obviously, Newt was making the rounds, and during his stint with Gwen Awful and her gang, they came right out and made comments about how white the crowd and the party was (89% white, by their reckoning). I suppose that the speakers like Artur Davis and Mia Love were covered in chocolate.
/spits -
#30 TT
Perhaps Gwen and gang should be reminded of this:In yet another example of its ongoing attempts to be “media savvy,” the Obama campaign has posted a photo of its staff on the campaign’s Tumblr, intended to show off the (presumably) totally cool and hip people working for Obama. Yet Andrew Stiles at the Washington Free Beacon noticed something rather odd about the photo, and decided to kill their buzz by pointing it out:
Yet the “army of twenty-somethings” campaign manager Jim Messina has assembled in the president’s hometown is almost uniformly white, according to photos contained in a detailed BuzzFeed report Monday.http://www.theblaze.com/stories/almost-uniformly-white-how-diverse-is-obamas-campaign-staff-really/

I wonder if when a Democrat is filling out a form and have to check “sex”, do they write in “undecided”?
Possible left answers:
1) “To” or “From”?
2) Animal
3) As often as possible
4) As indiscriminately as possible
5) In public places
6) I don’t judge
7) Group
8) Just like to watch
9) You offering? -
10) the notion of sex is merely a social construct and therefore does not apply.
-
When faced with a form that asks about sex, I write “Yes.”

You’re a real rebel without a clue.

#32 I saw that this morning and one of the comments mentioned Mia’s “Money Bomb” so I went to donate and her site had aready crashed from all the hits. 😀
I’ll try agin later. -
Nothing upsets the left so much as money being thrown at their targets.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Sorta sauna 77 at 6, barely a breath stirring long distance from Isaac. But a good northerly breeze moved in shortly after the Sun made it over the treeline and seems to be a steady companion for a day or two.
#13 Hamous
Oh, this classic skewer of the stormy weather tv reporter stereotype is the best. It would be hard to top. It also documents that the street in question qualifies as a navigable waterway–there’s enough water to float a canoe. Never mind the pedestrians crossing in front of the camera, maybe slightly more than ankle-deep. It meets the criterion, and the EPA can forever rejoice that bone dry it can still be hallowed ground for whatever supposed endangered plant or animal is haphazardly found there, and all commerce can be prohibited lest the “habitat” be encroached by mere humans. It’s the territory environmental lawyers relish. Once the nuts at the EPA claim territory, they don’t easily let go regardless of how insane the claim might be. 🙂 -

This is what my summer would have looked like if there had been hammocks in 1972.

So, sometime you will have to tell us what your summer 1972 was actually like, since you didn’t have that floating firepit, much less the hammocks.

So, sometime you will have to tell us what your summer 1972 was actually like, since you didn’t have that floating firepit, much less the hammocks.Actually, it would have been the summer of 1971. The summer of 1972 was spent at Fort Dix waiting orders to be sent to Flight School at Ft. Wolters.
Summer of 1971 was spent knowing that I’d be in the Army on 30 January, ’72. I hitchhiked to the Kancamagus Highway and hiked it and the environs, other destinations in the White Mountains, and spent a lot of time around Lake Masabesic doing the same. I pursued the affections of red headed girl who ended up preferring my best friend as he was going to be around longer than I.
I was also a bag man for the Greek Mafia in Manchester. That’s a true story. My next door neighbor’s uncle ran the numbers and gave them a shoe shine parlor on the main drag in Manchester to run. When they had to go back to school, they asked me to take over. All I had to do was make sure I was there at 3:00 when a guy showed up with an envelope for “Uncle Chris”, put it under the change drawer in the cash register, and stick around until somebody came to pick it up. If someone came in to have thier shoes shined during the day, I got to keep the money. There was a back room with aluminum foil and blackight posters on the wall and bean bag chairs on the floor where we could do the kinds of things you do in rooms with aluminum foil and blackight posters on the wall and bean bag chairs on the floor. -
Those poor coon-asses are gonna hafta deal with Isaac for a total of 24 or more hours. Rainfall could get up to 3 feet instead of the 20″ forecast. That storm is not in a hurry to move along.
-
Isaac has done precissely what Dr. Neil Frank and several other senior hurricane specialists had feared. Isaac married Allison, and southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi are drowning seriously between storm surge and horrific rains while it moves at a snail’s pace.
Neil Frank had a considerable difference of opinion with the National Hurricane Center folks on when to declare Isaac a hurricane–he thought they waited too long and should have erred on the side of safety. His concern was that too many people don’t think a tropical storm is anything serious but will pay attention to something designated a hurricane–and act to protect themselves. He said as much as he thought he could on Channel 11 the night before Isaac was upgraded. You could detect him biting his tongue–hard. And he was right.
Folks on rooftops and in attics again because they didn’t evacuate when told to are finding this out the really hard way. -

Were you in Viet Name, Sarge, 72 or any other time? I don’t recall knowing that.
Regarding things you could do in that back room, are we talkin’ bobo’s favorite plant? -
‘Bout my #39, when I first went to Mia’s site, the “Money Bomb” was at $67K and I couldn’t get in, when I donated @ about 12 noon it was @ 83K now it’s $132,293.32! 😀

I never went overseas. I would have gone but for the qualifying for and accepting assignment to Warrant Officer Flight Training at Ft. Wolters. I qualifed during Basic Training and was held over at Ft Dix after completion waiting on the Feds to scare the bejabbers out of my relatives doing a security check on me. They couldn’t cut orders until after I’d passed that. Doing so took me out of the pool for just long enough for Nixon’s Vietnamization program to go into full swing.
As it was, its likely that I’d have done what a number of guys in aviation MOS’s who went through basic about the same time as I and been assigned to Viet Nam only to be sent back after a month or two. I was originally slated to go to school for Radar Repair and Airborne jump school, so it would have been likely that I would have been assigned to an aviation unit in the 101st as they were over there at the time. The Aviation units were among the first to be pulled out as flight and aviation maintenance training for the Viet Namese army had been a high priority. There were a number of Viet Namese army officers going through Flight School at the same time I did.
I never completed Flight School. I was a rather naive 19 year old who ignored some very good advice. Had I waited the year or two to enter that training, I’d have been better prepared for it and perhaps a bit more mature. As it turned out, I left after 3 months and was assigned to an aviation unit at Fort Sill where I spent the remainder of my Active Duty service. -
I have decamped from the Bucolic environs of Caxias do Sul.
I am now ensconced about 25km from some seriously well-known landmarks. Two of them are here, although one of them is not really visible. A couple more are just over the hills on the right-hand side.
ps: this neighborhood is rough. I ain’t leaving my swanky accommodations until it gets light out again. -

It’s a rare 19-year old (or even a 20-something) that is squared away enough to make good choices for the rest of their life. We only see that in retrospect, of course.
After I finished my bachelor’s degree at UT, I was informed of a program that was recruiting female grads with science degrees for a full scholarship to a new Master’s program in Computer Science. I not only wasn’t interested in going to graduate school at that time, but had no interest at all in computers. While I don’t regret the circuitous route by which I ended up as first a programmer and later a software tester… It’s just ironic.
(Also in retrospect, I now spit on the idea of gender-based recruitment.) -
This seems familiar.
From watching other people’s kids, of course. Mine were perfect angels.
Really. They were! -
bachelor’s degree at UT
That right there was your real mistake.

My stash. 100% Hawaiian, and you can’t have any.
Bob, I lubs ya’ man BUTT dang, the only thing worse than Hawaiian Beer is Hawaiian Coffee!
Nasty, Nasty Stuff! Actually worse than that gawd awful stuff that they have in Nawlins’
Back in 75, I took my Bride to Hawaii for our honeymoon, for a week and we had the Primo Beer AND the Kona Coffee so I know what I’m talking about, the beer tastes like watered down Coors and the coffee like 10W-50 motor oil! …….Just Sayin’ 😉 -
Oh and while in Hawaii I developed a love for fresh pineapple, I don’t think that we had a meal that didn’t have a slice of fresh pineapple on it,
evenespecially breakfast.
I had sores in my mouth from the acid when we got back home to Saint Simmons Island. 😉 -

Although I have no idea what they are showing for Fox News Convention feed right now. It looks like a light show. No sound. ?? -
I had some Hebridean Turpentine.
So did it taste like Peat, soaked in Coal Oil with just a touch of a used “Jock Strap”, if so, that would be Scotch.

Governor(?) of Puerto Rico speaking. Talking about how well he did to balance the budget there. Didn’t mention how, out there on an island, they are not overrun by illegals sucking the welfare system dry.

Sucky bandwidth.
I’m in an exotic foreign land, where internet access is iffy at best. -
Governor Fortuno was a very weak speaker. Now got a music interlude with a hispanic band. Crowd shots show all the middle-aged and older delegates trying to wave their signs in time to the beat.

No, this was the good stuff.
Peat, soaked in a solution of kerosene, iodine, and turpentine. Aged in a warehouse on a Hebridean island for several years to give it a hint of salt and seaweed.
Yum. -
At last! Pawlenty is listing all Obama’s mistakes. And some of Biden’s. But he’s trying to tell jokes that require comic timing, which he ain’t got. The crowd is not laughing so much either. Some Obama jokes are working. “A lot of people fail… at their first job.”

Hey, Gomer is up now! Shazzam 😉

So, is this true? Clint Eastwood To Speak At Republican Convention on Thursday: Fox News.

Huckabee gave a very effective speech, on the theme “We Can Do Better”. Condi’s up next.

Kinda slow tonight, makes me long for Sarah Palin’s act.
Say where is the governor?
Oh yeah ……………….“I’m sorry Fox cancelled all my scheduled interviews tonight because I sure wanted to take the opportunity on the air to highlight Senator John McCain’s positive contributions to America, to honor him, and to reflect on what a biased media unfairly put him through four years ago tonight.”
That’s just what the RNC wanted to see brought up.
-
Always with the Texas drama ……………
A long stream of Paul’s backers from Maine, Oklahoma, Oregon, Arizona, and several other states protested the Republican National Committee’s treatment of Paul and his supporters by walking out of the convention hall with chants of, “As Maine goes, so goes the nation!”
The Paul supporters were protesting a rule change that the RNC adopted the night before in floor proceedings that would allow any future presumptive presidential nominee to disown delegates who support another candidate. The RNC refused to seat half of the delegates Ron Paul won from Maine in a dispute with that state’s party. -
I’m glad that I’m not the only person this has happened to

Had a meeting with my bouncers tonight to discuss the upcoming year. I bought them dinner as a thank you for all the nights they’ve given up to help me corral high school freshman.
Made it home in time to see Ryan start his speech. I wish I could’ve listened to the others. I guess I’ll have to watch the videos. -
I suppose that the speakers like Artur Davis and Mia Love were covered in chocolate.
Perhaps not chocolate, but if they were on the convention floor with the delegates they’d be bombarded with peanuts ………
On air this evening, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer called attention to the network’s earlier report on two Republican National Convention attendees throwing nuts at a black CNN camerawoman and saying, “This is how we feed animals.” The attendees were removed from the Tampa Bay Times Forum after the exchange.
-
That is unbelievably irresponsible, what if she were allergic to peanuts? We should practice safe giveaways, our paychecks work better.
-
Just keeps getting better; “Money Bomb”
Mia Love inspired the nation Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention. This “Love Bomb” is about bringing supporters together to make a big difference in this race by raising
$50,000 $65,000 $75,000 $100,000 $125,000 $150,000$175,000 for Mia.It was about $63K when I first looked, 9 AM maybe?
-
Well I’m throughly convinced now that every single Republican in the country is a racist who throws peanuts at black camerawomen.
Not a chance these two folks could’ve been demoncat plants.
Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if Wolfie made the whole story up cause nobody does propaganda like CNN…and CBS and NBC and ABC and the MSNBC Spitter and the NY Times and Washington Post and Houston Chronicle and dang I’m tired of typing. -
That is unbelievably irresponsible, what if she were allergic to peanuts? We should practice safe giveaways, our paychecks work better.
Fitty bucks sez the two people who were forcibly removed from the thousands at the convention were associated with these disgusting subhumans and not delegates to the Republican convention.
I also saw a couple of Code Pink hags removed during Ryan’s speech. -
Anyone watching RNC and knows who that band was doing “Jungle Boogie”?
-
Republicans: remove those who are behaving badly
Democrats: celebrate them, sometimes even put them on the ballot
Yeah, the peanut thing really points out how Republicans are the intolerant bigots.
My favorite line of Ryan’s speech? “Where everything is free — but us!” -
They just don’t understand the free market:
But a few short months later, GM is idling the plant yet again. That’s hardly a surprise. GM, under pressure from the Obama administration, had a target of selling 45,000 Volts this year. Actual sales? Around10,600 sales through July. This was – triple the 2,870 sold in 2011, but only because California gave the car an artificial boost by allowing lone Volt drivers on the car pool lanes.
