Well we finally woke up. 😉
Mornin’ Gang -
About the broken Tap from last night, I find that this works wonders used liberally. Then if all else fails, one of these. Of course ole Dave is from Alabama so he’s more likely to just pound it loose.

Here are a few suggestions on the thread topic this morning:

In other more manly issues, has anyone tried any of the on-line shaving clubs and/or products. I try to replace my razor ever 12 or 15 years as needed, and it’s about time. -
Every shaving club I’ve ever tried has been too dull to use, even the sammiches.
-
Sounds like they should have plenty of time to make a sammich or two.

Dilbert has a pretty funny series going about a new flying ion powered car.
He is exasperated at the failure to get it. -
As a charter member of that danged “dumb bunny club”, can someone tell me in 25 words or less: what is a “tap” in the context so breathlessly discussed in recent Couch sessions?

#8 Mclueless42: A tap is a gizmo that cuts threads on the inside of a hole.

1. The man above, Dudley Crafts Watson, was Orson Welles’ guardian.
2. Orson Welles’ father’s name was Richard Head Welles. Which begs the question: Did anyone call him Dick? -
Guess I asked for all that abuse, but at least I got the info I requested. 😀

FWIW; Goat had a pretty good idea to use a hammer drill, and a masonry bit to drill/pound the brittle tap out of the hole.

I have really been a team player this week. My husband isn’t getting well in a linear fashion. Yesterday, he was up on the computer and watching something on DVD. Today he says he doesn’t want to get up and doesn’t want anything to eat. He says he can’t go to the lab for his blood draw tomorrow because he can’t get down the stairs. He had some stuff he wanted to be mailed today, so I helped him get the things packaged up and drove them to our local PO station. Timing was excellent, as it was merely drizzling when I left but is raining hard since I got back. The reason this is notable is that (as a retired person) — I do NOT drive when it’s raining.
I once worked with a man whose surname was Thiim, pronounced “team”. His favorite joke was yes, there is an “i” in Thiim.

We used to have a guy in the San Antonio office call our service manager and ask our unwitting receptionist to page Richard Cranium.

but at least I got the info I requested.
Yeah, Bonecrusher done ruint all the fun.

Yep, Bones followed my rules and kept it concise.:)
But those pix gave me some “clue” as to what the items look like. Nothing like what I imagined…
-
UNLESS — awful thought — those tools were something else entirely. 🙁
Well, the “handles” were probably accurately labeled.

Just wait till we start talking about reamers or choker slings. . . .

Many years ago we did a re-model at the Lyons Womens Clinic. The wing we were in was vacated and everything left in it was to be tossed. In a drawer we found these stainless steel tools. They had a duck bill that could be adjusted and opened when you squeezed the handle. Quack. We had no idea what they were but they looked expensive and were free. You could use it to lift a ceiling tile or get a beer without putting your hands in the ice. There were also a bunch of them. Every guy had one in their tool belt. The foreman’s office was in a different wing. You had to go through the lobby to get there. We sure got a lot of strange looks from the ladies waiting there. One day we were drinking beer at the office and showing them to the other guys. ‘Can I have one? Sure, there is a bunch of ’em’. Then somebody’s wife walked in. She was appalled. “Do you know what those are?’ Well, now we do.

Has mharper done her 14 hours of house work today while the men folks do important things like blogging?

On the duplicity of European anti-Semitism and loving their Jewish communities, David P. Goldman (Spengler?) writes,
It’s been so long since Europeans took their own national identity seriously that it’s hard for them to remember why it is that they can’t stand the sort of Jew who represents the Jewish future. One has to put them on the proverbial couch and coax it out of them: Europeans hate Jews because European national identity from the outset was a dreadful parody of Jewish identity. One learns this most clearly from the great German-Jewish theologian Franz Rosenzweig, who argued the secret of European identity was the desire of every nation to be chosen in the flesh. As I wrote in this space on the anniversary of the First World War, “The unquiet urge of each nation to be chosen in its own skin began with the first conversion of Europe’s pagans; it was embedded in European Christendom at its founding. Christian chroniclers cast the newly-baptized European monarchs in the role of biblical kings, and their nations in the role of the biblical Israel. The first claims to national election came at the crest of the early Dark Ages, from the sixth-century chronicler St Gregory of Tours (538-594), and the seventh-century Iberian churchman St Isidore of Seville….Saints Isidore of Seville and Gregory of Tours were in a sense the Bialystock and Bloom of the Dark Ages, the Producers of the European founding: they sold each petty monarch 100% of the show. One hardly can fault them. Transmuting the barbarian invaders who infested the ruined empire of the Romans into Christians was perhaps the most remarkable political accomplishment in world history, but it required a bit of flimflam that had ghastly consequences over the long term. The filth of the old European paganism accumulated in the tangled bowels of Europe until the terrible events of 1914-1945 released it.”
When real Americans — the kind of Americans who identify with the American Founding — meet real Jews — the kind of Jews who embrace Israel’s past and future — there is an instant sympathy, for Jews remind Americans of what is best in their character: the new mission in the Wilderness, the vision of a new City on a hill. New England was settled in response to the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War, and as many German Protestants — the losers in that war — came to America as Englishmen. When Europeans meet Jews, we remind them of what was worst in their character: the lampoon of Jewish identity that infected European nationalism. The Nazi delusion of a “Master Race, ” after all, was a satanic parody of the Election of Israel. In the past, each European nation that fancied itself God’s instrument on earth set out to humiliate, expel, or even exterminate the Jews, for how could France or Spain or Russia or Germany be the Chosen Nation when the Jews claimed that status? Old Europe hated the Jews because it envied election; New Europe hates the Jews because it eschews election altogether. The old hatred suppurates and boils under the ectoderm of the new hatred.
(Snip)
After three devastating wars lasting two generations each — the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-1648, the Napoleonic Wars of 1799-1815, and the two World Wars of the 20th century — the Europeans grew weary of their contentious national identities. They agreed to become nothing in particular. Patriotism is an obscenity in Germany, a joke in Italy, a curse in Spain, a relic in England, and a faux pas in France. To declare one’s self a Jewish patriot, a Zionist, transgresses the boundary of civilized discourse in today’s Europe. Personally, I find this disappointing; I speak three European languages apart from English and have nothing to say to anybody in any of them.
BRILLIANT!

By the way, the Texas Senate killed the “blocker bill” yesterday.

Pipe, valve, fittings (PVF) guys are the biggest perverts.
Everything they talk about is either male or female and sometimes both.

Hey Hammie, just in case you were planning on hiring Craig Washington, don’t bother.

i find this particularly bothersome.
In addition to removing any difficulty in bringing controversial bills to the floor, the procedural changes will allow the Senate to suspend rules regarding public hearings and do business in secret if they so choose. Public participation in the process will depend on the good will of the Senate majority.
So much for open gubment.
On another note Rodney Ellis cried that the change would stifle dissent. Hogwash. He can dissent to his hearts content. It just removes the “fix is in” element of the dissent.
/Besides I hate roses. -
I agree Squawk, but that doesn’t mean they will take that route every time.
As always, though, we are at the beginning of the most dangerous time in Texas – the Lege is in session.

Sorry, boys. I had my fill of device anatomy jokes when I was pulling ethernet cable and assembling serial connectors from kits. Decades ago.

Hey Hammie, just in case you were planning on hiring Craig Washington, don’t bother.
Poor ol’ Craig, the man what got whupped by SJL, proving that the voters of the 18th get stupider with time.

You were a serial connector? I knew you were ok all along.

Hey Texpat you said he was selfish. What a courageous act this was especially since the dogs came from Sonic.

We had a huge fire last night in Edgewater, on the Hudson River, down the Palisade cliffs from our synagogue. One of our members, a captain in the Edgewater FD was on television manning a high pressure water gun from the top of a 6 story ladder.
I’ve been doing emergency relief work today, raising money and finding temporary homes for a couple of members who were residents there. We’re also raising money for all of the other approximately 1,000 people left homeless from this massive raging fire that wiped out a really nice, very large apartment complex.
I watched the thing burn on TV and could tell it spread explosively inside the roof gable attics and there was obviously no firewall/blocking between the units. I asked my fire captain friend and he said the code here allows the omission of those if they install an interior sprinkler system.
…an interior sprinkler system…are you kidding me ?
The winds off the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean are brutal there this time of year and if a fire gets started, there is no way to control it.
Staggeringly stupid. Just incredibly irresponsible.
I’m speechless.

I truly am sorry to hear that about those folks.
All I heard on national news from anywhere was deflate gate. That is so seriously screwed up.
-
Google shows the apartment fire covered by the national MSM. I saw no coverage on the internet. I think “no politics involved” explains both cases.

If there were deflated footballs they would have been all over it.

One of my pet peeves is public commentators (like Mark Levin tonight) ranting about the American people being obsessed over trivial, inconsequential issues like NFL deflated footballs.
The American people are not obsessed with this – the lazy, stupid, facile American media is obsessed with it. The idea that subjects of serious interest to Americans are reflected by what the 24/7/365 cable news morons babble on about relentlessly left the barn years ago.
-
58 cont’d.
I haven’t encountered a single person all week online, on the phone, via text or in person who even brought up the subject and that includes a number of NFL fans.
-
Scandal sells! Or so they think, at any rate.
-
I saw the fire reported on CBS yesterday and today.
Biggest one I’ve seen in a long time. -
My pet peeve is tacking on “gate” to every freaking scandal.

Here’s what’s really going on. Nobody outside of Seattle or where ever the Patriots are located cares. The TV execs have promised their advertisers a nationwide viewing audience, but flyover country is not responding. There is no racial hook, no Phoenix rising from the ashes hook, no east/west rivalry hook (outside the respective cities), so what are they to do. I know, how about good versus evil. Black hats versus white hats, law abiding citizens against the lawless who flaunt the rules. Maybe that will sell since nothing else seems apparent. Nobody except the advertisers (including TV) and the gamblers care about the size of the audience, so remember that when you are being fed more about the ball fiasco. Stay tuned to see if the good guys will win out in the end or if the cheaters will prevail. What’s the line anyway nowdays.

I think you are exactly right. This whole stupid PR idea is being driven by NBC being terrified at the idea nobody gives a damn about the despised Patriots and Seattle’s team.

CIRCUMCISED
The American people are not obsessed with this – the lazy, stupid, facile American media is obsessed with it.Must respectfully disagree. You are correct, I have not met 1 person during my escapes form the house…… well there was one guy but he was like 70 years old standing in line with me at Walmart and just wanted to chat. So he opened up with that and we quickly got off on to the subject of cheap coffees.
The media feeds us pap but it is what folks demand. Reality TV and human interest crap garner more attention and conversation amongst the proletariat than real world events. I have argued and argued and argued for people to get involved in politics, become informed for years. What goes for being informed and getting involved is down right shameful.
You and I are wonks. We eat real news for breakfast and wipe our tails with the local newspaper. People like us are the exception. Most everyone else would rather talk about anything but earth shattering life changing POLITICS. There is more composite conversation about the latest Academy Award snub than the impact of what is going on in Washington. People get more upset over a two dollar service fee at the ATM than a tax increase. Most people have no idea that they are about to get slammed with ramifications of Obamacare at all levels including their income taxes.
Nope folks would rather and do get upset over the stupidest stuff. Oh and Levin is right.

BTW my opinion…………
I do not care. I agree with hamous
My pet peeve is tacking on “gate” to every freaking scandal.
-
But I will say this, Rush and Hannity brought it on in their shows. No one would have talked about it on their shows had they not brought it up. BUT I took not how many times both host attempted to move on to other subjects yet callers kept returning to deflatamate scandal.
-
…but, but, but it’s not a real scandal unless it has “gate” after it. How are we to tell it’s a scandal at all if it doesn’t say “gate?” Government, NFL, what’s the difference? Why can’t you all just let me have my 6 pack and leave me alone so I can tune up the wife and kids as needed. I mean it’s for their own good you know.
