First! Happy Saturday Yall……………………more HEROs to bring into the BACA family today
-
Frosty good morning Hamsters. Nice to have beautiful frost rather than ice gracing everything outdoors, all sparkling in the warming Sun. Some ice patches remain on a shaded part of the garage roof under a tall ligustrum leaning over it, but that seems to be the only reminder of yesterday’s gloom. Chilly 27 at 7 now giving way to 31 and a breeze awakening. Warming prospects are welcome. Driving around today should be much better without ice on the roads. Unfortunately that will not help those few who have frozen brains when it comes to driving.
Yea for Katfish and BACA welcoming more members today. -
Morning, Hamsterville denizens! I am SEVENTY today. My husband had placed a birthday card ready for me to find on my laptop. The sentimental message:
Like good cheese, you just get better with age.
-
Happy birthday, mharper!
-
Happy Birthday MHarper42! I can appreciate good cheese, but if you start to smell ripe I might ask you to go freshen up before you sit back down on the couch.
-
Thank you, Shannon. Being philistines, I think we are going out for hamburgers and fries today. Seeing as how that is something we rarely eat any more. And will enjoy. 🙂
Oh and hold the nutmeg! -
TexMo, thank you. I am only metaphorical cheese.
-
Happy Birthday mharper!
Chilly 30 degrees and clear this morning, warming up.

Thanks, Super Dave!

Nope, January 25, 1944. But the war wasn’t over yet.

M42: Congratulations on achieving septogenarian status.
-
Happy Birthday Ms Harper.
-
Happy Birfday! And many more!

What these hate filled idiots don’t seem to understand is that the Jews will not just take it any more. Any threat of violence will be vigorously defended.
-
Thank you, Couch Brethren and Sistren!
Bones, even without looking it up, I think it is septuagenarian. Septo- sounds like a deviancy. Or maybe a plumbing thing?

After the 2012 president election, it was clear that the Republican Party needed to take steps to give our presidential nominees a better chance at winning the White House.
One of those steps is a shorter primary process. It’s my goal to have a convention in late June or early July. That way the nominee has access to general election resources earlier, allowing him or her to be more competitive against the Democrats’ nominee. It also means the media can’t over-hype a drawn-out fight among our candidates.
But we did have to make sure that our primary voters would have their voices heard—and that all primary candidates would have a chance to make their cases.
So on Friday, we passed new rules to shape the 2016 presidential primary process.
First, the “carve out” states (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada) will hold their contests in February.
Other states can start their contests on or after March 1.
Any contest between March 1st and March 14th must allocate delegates on a proportional basis.
Any contest after March 14th may choose to allocate delegates proportionally or on a winner-take-all basis.
The deadline for selection of alternates and delegates will move from 35 days before the convention to 45 days before the convention.
In crafting these rules, we were committed to three basic principles:
Giving our nominee the best chance of winning
Empowering our voters to have their voices heard
Letting all our candidates have time to share their vision with voters
By sticking to those principles and enforcing these new rules, we will have a primary process that is fair for all involved, and we will have a nominee who enters the general election in a position of strength. -
M42:
Septo- sounds like a deviancy
Sorry there, missy – you certainly ain’t the firstest to call me a deviant!
-
#17 TT: I think it is a big step in the right direction. I am still vehemently opposed to the “carve outs” getting first dibs, as it puts a damper on those states with a bigger voice. That being said, an earlier convention is essential as a late convention allows the Ds to beat our brains in and we don’t have access to the resources to answer the numerous false charges. Further, shortening the primary season really weakens the ability of the lefty media to trash the strongest R candidates. Imagine Texas getting to have a primary when fewer than 10% of the delegates have been chosen, dontchathink that may help us get a stronger, more conservative (therefore electable) candidate?

#21 Birfday girl, that is pretty darned funny. I just wish it were true.

Well, we know the Marines would have no use whatsoever for The Bieb.

Four Horse Men?
Uh, Pyro, on closer examination, I think we gots 3 horsewomen and one horsehead man.

On the surface it appears there has not much occurred this day in history, but generations still tell of the horrific rumble heard throughout West Texas January twenty fifth nineteen and forty four.

HEADLINE: Militants tell Russians to rebel against Kremlin or face attacks
MOSCOW (Reuters) – A militant group that claimed responsibility for last month’s suicide bombings in Volgograd which killed at least 34 people told Russians on Saturday to rebel against President Vladimir Putin or face further attacks.
The warning, which came two weeks before the Winter Olympics in Russia’s southern city of Sochi, does not mention the Games.
But the group – which identified itself as Vilayat Dagestan from the northern Caucasus region where Moscow has battled an insurgency for over a decade – last week warned Putin to expect a “present” at the event.I can only imagine the orders all of Putin’s former KGB buddies have received: search and destroy with extreme prejudice. I can also imagine the message being delivered: anything happens to the Olympic games, and both Mecca and Medina will be turned into glass sandpiles.

HEADLINE: Free Crack Pipes Urged To Slow Spread Of HIV In SF, Leaders Balk At Idea
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – Brows were raised and eyes rolled back when needle exchange programs were first implemented to stop the spread of disease. Giving away free and clean syringes to heroin users seemed preposterous to many. Now it is a common practice and almost universally accepted as a means to prevent the spread of HIV. Could the same happen with free crack pipes?But I thought HIV could not be transmitted through casual contact, how then would “clean” crack pipes slow the transmission of HIV? When will these idiots realize that a terd simply can not be picked up by the clean end?
I view the very suggestion as an indication that the entire left coast is in dire need of quarrantine, for the rest of the country’s protection. -
And I thought the platypus was just an unfortunately constructed creature. Turns out, I don’t think I want to get near one.
-
#28 TT: I found the following comment funny, in the context of the article.
Yeah, that was one helluva orgy on the ark.
All of the participating animals swore never to speak of it again, but even today there are few animals that can look at a platypus without hanging their heads in shame.Highly irreverant, but funny non-the-less.
-
From the comments to my link:
I think the platypus is proof that God has a quirky sense of humor.
“Hey, Gabriel, Michael – take a look at this!”
“Uh … what is that thing, Lord?”
“I call it a platypus. I’m going to put it in Australia, to mess with the mortals’ heads. Just when they think they’ve got evolution all figured out, they’ll have to try to explain _this_. What do you think, Gabe?”
“Very nice. I love the bill.”
“Michael?”
“Well, from an aesthetic point of view, I think the tentacles might be a bit too much. You may want to lose the wings and eyestalks too, and trim it back to just two pairs of legs.”
“OK, OK. But I’m keeping the poisonous claws, the electric sense, and the whole egg-laying mammal bit. After all, where’s the fun in being Creator of the universe if you can’t screw with people’s taxonomies just a bit? -

Why Tim, what a sweet and clever way to say Happy Birthday!
😀 -
Things all freshmen should know.
Don’t know that I ever experienced the “iron poop” thing, and we were forbidden to throw our graduation mortar boards in the air. -
Happy Birthday to mharper42, and welcome to the 70s club.
Are the kitties planning to send you and hubby out for a more formal dinner, or are they
saving it for Valentine’s Day? 🙂 -
While not observed in the United States the heavens announced the arrival of MHarper to the world.

I am honored to join the 70s club, especially with such gracious ladies having arrived there before me! I’ll try not to do anything to embarrass anyone, but then again, I gotta be me! -
I can’t say we actually do any formal dinners, and never did. We are casual down-home types. We like Luby’s food. 🙂
30 years ago, I was dined at some fancy restaurants in Houston as part of applying for jobs at MegaCorp type companies, but I never found the food to be any more enjoyable than the baked cod almondine at Luby’s. And I am distinctly uncomfortable eating while surrounded by a swarm of attendants, some of whom are darting in with little whisks and dustpans to brush away any crumbs that might have landed on the tablecloth. Not my cuppa’. -
BTW, we just got back from MytiBurger, which is on Michael Berry’s list of the best burger spots in Houston. The burger was good and I am very partial to the sweet potato fries.
-
About the birthday girl; all I have to say is that a mature lady with bad knees that takes water in a bucket, to her favorite oak tree, not to mention being a lover of animals, is OK by me. 😀
-

What did I tell ya’ daughter, daughter, in-law and I loves some sweet tater fries.

Regarding the platypus, with the angels discussing odd animals, tentacles + wings + lots of legs is a pretty good description of some of the critters found in the Burgess Shale fossil collection. These animals are not only extinct, they have no living descendents in the same phyla. n.b. Phylum is a very high level classification by body plan, such as arthropods (lobsters, insects), chordates (mammals, reptiles, birds), etc. An extinct phylum means something having no more than superficial resemblance to anything now alive on planet Earth. -
I had some phylum built up in my throat but a couple beers took care of it. I’m now in prevention mode.

A couple of new thoughts — new to me, anyway — in this article. -
#46: And the first time one of these I feel like a boy girls is raped in a bathroom or lockerroom there will be hell to pay; and you know it will happen. Not to mention photos all over the web, girl/boys complaining about not lifting the seats and who knows what else. The lawyers must have pushed this, they are reaping a new gold rush.
BTW: On this date, not necessary in this year.
Jack Benny also got married for the first and only time on this date.. Paul Berlin on KSEV is wealth of trivia. 🙂 -
MHarper MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY Happy Returns!!
-
Thanky kindly, Katfish! Did your N key get stuck?
🙂 -
(they call her Henny Harper really)
-
More tolerance towards Catholics. Why is it that people react so violently to a religion? If they don’t like us, they don’t have to attack us. Just walk on down the road.
That’s all they have to do. Really. -
Just got back from the movin’ pitcher show with Yellow Hair.
Saw Lone Survivor.
If at all possible, you should see that movie.

#46 It was signed into law by a Jesuit seminarian who was (or wasn’t) too Jesuit-y for them.
-
#46: One more reason to quarrantine the left coast. That such absurdity would make it through both houses not to mention that it was signed by Gov MoonBeam is self evident that the residents of the state have lost their collective minds. They are no longer capable of taking care of themselves and pose an imminent danger to themselves and the rest of the country.
-
Just a practical question regarding the Gov. Moonbeam proclamation in #46. Just how, pray tell, does a girl use a boy’s room urinal, since that is the plumbing fixture mentioned?
-
Good morning, Adee and all. The link in #46 led off to some ads for devices to aid in that endeavor. I looked through them in amazement.
-
Just how, pray tell, does a girl use a boy’s room urinal, since that is the plumbing fixture mentioned?
Why, with the She Wee-inal Portable Uninary Device, of course. Of course every girl has the government-given right to these devices so they must be provided for “free”.
-
#56 and 57
Aha, we are doomed. I did not look at the link. I am glad I did not. Can you erase the images from your memories? Can you suppress the urge to throttle any and every idiot connected with this adventure in insanity?
Oh, and good morning Hamsters. -
Stephen Hawking gives a new theory on black holes. He states that they do not exist in the classical sense, with an event horizon beyond which no light escapes. There is another type that I know exists and it is in DC, and there is an event horizon beyond which there is no intelligence, at least in the classical sense of intelligence.

Arizona R party finally gets around to censuring McSwine for his lib voting record. Reading the commentary reveals the depth of disfunction in the brains of those on the left; I guess the WaPo is good for something afterall.

This is a prime example of why I have consistently said for years Chris Christie can never be elected president of the USA.
Amy@HindaRifka is a nice New Jersey Jewish girl with a serious appreciation for the Second Amendment.
Check out the red and white campaign flyer she has posted on her Twitter feed from the Christie campaign some years back. -

Christie came out and said yesterday serving children breakfast and lunch is not enough burden on taxpayers. He wants the schools of NJ to serve schoolchildren their supper too.
I’m not kidding. -
GOOOD GRIEF
Yanno you and I both pulled Christie’s sheets when he sprang onto the scene. Christie is my poster child of why I never get excited about the new kid on the block becoming the savior of the rinublican party. -
I really liked Christie when he was the federal prosecutor for New Jersey, but he is not the same man as a politician.
Years ago, when he was first elected, Christie appointed a proven hack lawyer who worked for Hamas here to a seat on the NJ bench. When anybody criticized him, he called them an Islamophobe. That was it for me.
His position on the Second Amendment is even worse. -
These are fun – national flags made from national foods.

He’s saying these things that are normal indicators of liars. “I’m Bob Dylan.” Okay, what’s your real name? And he told me his real name — his real, real name, his government name. I think it’s Zimmerman, right? And I’m like, that’s totally weird now, that’s not right. He has two names! Some other kid came and backed me up, and he’s my age. He didn’t believe him either.
I just put him in the car and said, “Okay, where are you staying, Bob?” kind of sarcastically, messing with him a little bit. “Where’s your hotel, where might you be staying, where are your friends?” And he says, “Oh, it’s this hotel out by the ocean,” and I think that kind of makes sense. And even when we pulled up to the hotel and there were buses and stuff, I thought it might be some guy in character, someone who might be imitating him and won’t get out of character, even dealing with the police.This was a funny only in Jersey story.
I remember when this happened. -
I was out shopping today and came to the greeting card aisle. Occurred to me to go ahead and get a card for my husband’s birthday which is one week after mine, since I wasn’t sure I’d be out again. Lucked out and found the perfect response to the “old cheese” card he gave me yesterday. This one shows wine bottle saying “The OLDER we get, the BETTER we get!”, while cheese says “That’s so true.” But baguette bread says “BITE ME!” Inside: “Welcome to the CRUSTY years.” Not everything gets better with age.
🙂 -
Years ago I worked with a woman who turned 40. For a full month before, her two years younger sister sent her a sarcastic birthday card, such as “Don’t think of it as getting older / Think of it as saving money not buying Kotex!” They were all saved, and two years later, they were sent to the younger sister. The last one was given the caption “Thanks for saving me all the money on birthday cards!”

DARMSTADT, Germany, January 16, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a shocking verdict regarding a homeschool case in Germany, a family court judge has refused to return legal custody of four children to Christian parents to prevent the family from obtaining visas that would allow them to travel to a country where homeschooling is permitted.
In his December ruling against the Wunderlich family, judge Marcus Malkmus called homeschooling a “concrete endangerment to the well-being of the child,” comparing it to a “straitjacket” that he said binds children to “years of isolation.”
“The request of the parents to reinstate their right to determine the location of the children, the right to make educational decisions for the children, as well as the right to file legal applications for their children is being refused,” the judge stated. -

Oh, you’ll never guess what I saw at Kelley’s this morning after breakfast.
A Lamborghini, a Porsche, and a Genesis. All parked right next to each other.
