Friday Catchall Thread

You know that feeling of relief you get after you pay a bunch of nagging bills and you still have some money left over?

Its like that for me right now. So, so, mellow and happy.
This is better than a second glass of wine.

How are all of you fine people today?

1 Have that second glass. With a little money left over, you can afford it.

2 Fine , thanks.
Nothing like a paid day off after my cards won the pennant.
I have little hope though against the Tigers.
P.S.- Thanks for all the hard work you do on this site- it's my favorite conservative place to go.

3 Hah, My wife is visiting relatives in Michigan, I dropped my daughter off at church this morning for a weekend camp. It's just me and the dog for three days with a few chores thrown in to mix it up.
Life's good.

7 Oh morning wood, I'm so jealous.
Unfortunately for me the wife, all 5 kids AND the damn dog are gonna be home ALL weekend.
As usual, I'll have a honey do list thats so long I won't be able to finish by the time I die. EVERYONE will want money to go do something. They will all be having fun while I wonder why I even look forward to weekends. Seems like I'm more tired by Sunday nights than I am any other time of the week.
Oh well....I guess it beats being dead, or living in North Korea.

Grass Hay is slipperier than Alfalfa so the stacks are not very stable. One of the stacks fell over and nearly flattened me.

Wife's leaving for a week-long business trip tomorrow and I have the spongebrats from dawn 'til dark, as well as shopping, Haloween preps, lawn care and pets.

By the end of the week I'll need to throttle two Ecuadorian gardeners just to calm my nerves.

EEK!

Slublog, that's not how it works. The only conceivable reason an employer will tell you your job is safe is so you don't leave before he can safely can you.

If your job actually is safe, they don't ever want you to know it.

Posted by: morning wood at October 20, 2006 01:38 PM (+aNmG)

Slu,

That's what I meant by going near the fine line and not crossing. It extracted just the right amount of furore from Dems. This will cause people to see that Ad and say, "That Ad is not scary. It shows reality. And Dems are more worried about the Ad, and not about the real issue?"

A tightrope artist does not achieve a finer balance than this.

30 Slu, I've been Mr. Mom-ing since she went back to work after each birth, and she travels a LOT. They're older now and it's easier than when they were babies, but until they're each about 5, you have to watch them every waking moment. It's exhausting, but soon you will no longer be nervous or intimidated.

Laura, did you pick up on the part where my wife travel a LOT?

40 My son fought the naps, too, and still does. We figured he just needs less sleep than most kids, but we were wrong. We were waiting too long to put him down, and he would fight sleep even though he was exhausted.

You just have to pick a time every day and do it. Walk away and don't come back.

She's adorable, BTW. Good luck.

47 The Dem response to the ad is what's funny:

the only spoken words on the commercial announce, "The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising."
...
"Once again we see that the GOP will truly do and say anything regardless of whether or not it's true, they are so desperate to hold onto power," Democratic National Committee Communications Director Karen Finney said in a statement.

What, exactly, is Ms. Finney contending might not be true? That the RNC is responsible for the content of the ad?

compos mentis,

you misunderstood me. Under US and NJ laws, I am legally allowed to buy and use a gun. But I think it is a terrible idea to allow foreigners like me to own guns. Thus, I will not buy a gun even if I want and can have one.

Posted by: geoff at October 20, 2006 02:54 PM (JLKim)

78 Here's the story. Apologies to compos, but it is funny as hell: (Everything in italics is his story)
-------------------------------------------------------

Few years back, I started the day by eating a lot of fast food and washing it down with half a gallon of Coke. Fast forward to a couple of hours later, when I'm sitting on the sidelines watching my daughter play soccer in mid 90 degree weather. All of a sudden, my ass is to the point where it's going to explode like Pom-flippin'-peii! I look around and see only two port-o-pots that are literally a quarter mile away.

So I start walking, slowly at first, then faster. As the johns draw nearer, the more my colon feels like there's a live midget in there straining to burst free.

I'm about 50 feet away, walking all doubled over and funny, not caring what the fuck I look like, just desparately trying to clench when I feel something slide between my already sweaty ass cheeks and plop into my boxers. Dammit!

I make it to one of the pots, which is pre-heated to about 400 degrees, rip my shorts down, spin and sit down as fast as I can just as the dam bursts. You need no further details at this time. My boxers are gonners so I take them off and throw them into the tank. With a sigh of relief, I step out and feel the cooler air hit my sweaty face and my now underwear free ass.

You'd think that would be the end of the story, but nooo! Twenty minutes later, I'm back on the sidelines when I have the very distinct feeling that I gotta go again and I mean right damned now!

So I take off in a fast walk and before I'm even half way there, my already worn out sphincter flat out says "screw this" and releases the hounds! With every step I take, mud is flying out my ass. Keep in mind I am no longer wearing any underwear, thus there's nothing to catch the shit that's now falling out the legs of my shorts. I start fucking sprinting, shit is hitting the backs of my legs, my shoes, and flying everywhere.

This whole time I have my eyes on the john, making sure no one is in it (I had seen someone exit prior). I burst in and before I can even get my shorts down, all self-control has vanished and I'm crapping all over everything, including myself.

I finally manage to sit down. How in hell there was so much more volume the second time is beyond me, but I guaran-damn-tee I lost at least 5 pounds.

There I am, covered in my own shit, baking in a stinking oven of a port-o-pot, trying to regain my composure when I realize there is, you guessed it, no toilet paper left. Fuck me. I wasn't wearing socks either.

I remember saying out loud, "What the fuck am I supposed to do now?!" Then I start giggling. And I start half laughing, half crying because I am sooo fucked! My wife is a quarter mile away and my vehicle is parked in a busy high school parking lot and to get there, I have to walk beside a busy road and through a four-way stop intersection.

I clean up best I can with my t-shirt and lay it to rest with my boxers. I pull up my shit-stained shorts (thank God they were black) and exit the john. I start to walk toward my van and I can still feel shit falling out of my shorts and onto my legs.

By this time, I don't give a rat's ass who sees me. All I want to do is get to my van and see what I can do to clean up before my wife and girls arrive. I managed to find paper towel, baby wipes, some plastic bags and one pair of purple satin girl's soccer shorts. Another thank you to God for my wife's always being prepared.

When my wife gets back, she's with the team's coach and there I am with nothing on but a pair of very tight girl's shorts, sitting in the driver's seat trying to look as non-dorky as possible, smelling like ass and baby wipes.

She laughs herself to tears every time I talk about this story. Up to this point, she was the only one who knew about it.

Posted by: Slublog at October 20, 2006 02:55 PM (R8+nJ)

79 Should I go? Absolutely. Not only should you go, you should load up on fast food and coca-cola before you get there. Smartass

So now all we have to do is run hundreds of feet of cable & air lines, paint, hang lights, rig sound and trouble shoot all of the programming, air props and triggers (this is not exactly �plug & play�). I figure about 20 to 25 hours per person (6 of us) over 2 days should do it.

But I love this sh*t so much, it won�t seem like work.

So, yea, life is good.

90 Spongeworthy needs some cultural proficiency training.

Obviously, since I haven't a clue WTF "cultural proficiency" is.

91 I don't click any links that say poop humor. Ever since I clicked and saw that girl/bathtub thing. I'm scarred for life.

92 I'll be spending the weekend collecting data and writing my dissertation. On the plus side, in six weeks it will all be over (one way or the other).

93 No problem, compos. I've always got your back. Unless, of course, it's covered in shit.

Then you're on your own.

And yeah, it doesn't matter what you eat at Arby's - it's going to get you later.

94 compos, that story is true? Oh, the skeletons people have in their water closets!

95 And I bet you looked adorable in tight...purple...girl's...soccer shorts.

OMG.....

Nice story Slu.

97 I did my part for the booming ecomomy by producing this week. I will now consume copious amounts of single malt to set the stage for a nonproductive weekend. Hey TV, I am looking at you. Give up the sweet, sweet mindless programming.

Mr. Minority

So True.

All you people out there with small children, keep your mouths shut�any stories told today will become the stuff of legend (and maybe an excuse for bad behavior). Let your children grow up thinking mom & dad NEVER did anything but sports, school work and church when they were young.

Yes.. I am telling you to lie to your kids, but it�s for their own good.

Tushar, let me know when you're ready for beers in Hoboken after work!

LOL.

No, not Cedarford.
And not Knemon! I know who Knemon is. He's here a lot.

C'mon, guys, you remember. Think, dammit.

114 I spent my Friday on the virtual poker tables getting rivered in one bad beat after another.

Until I fired up my last 4 simultaneous tables and placed first in each one, which got me back more than even. Ahhhhhh sweet, sweet vindication.

But the high point of the night was screaming, "Eat it, eurotrash and God bless America!" after taking down some guy named Europe 1 or some such nonsense.

I kind of felt like an Olympian there for a moment. Next time I'll have the Star Spangled Banner cued up on iTunes just in case the opportunity presents itself again.

119 Bart, his name is Von Kreedon.

And if you scare Spurwing away, I'm going to shiv you in the intercostals between rib 3 and rib 4 with a sharpened piece of plastic picnic cutlery.

Posted by: Warden at October 20, 2006 04:01 PM (rZ5uY)

120 No!

Kasper is meely-mouthed bleeding heart, but he's no Liberal.

Not Kman or Kempermanx, either.

This chooch is a true-blue liberal, but he wasn't a troll. He hasn't been around for at least six months, maybe more.

121 I spent my Friday on the virtual poker tables getting rivered in one bad beat after another.

That reminds me, did anyone ever find out how we could get an online poker tourny going?
I seem to remember some talk about it when the football pool started.

122 Six months? Ohhh...that's before my time, here.

Posted by: Nice Deb at October 20, 2006 04:04 PM (D1XyG)

123 I think it's been over a year since von Kreedon posted much here. Too bad. Though I'm warming up to Tank.

Posted by: geoff at October 20, 2006 04:07 PM (JLKim)

124 Ding Ding Ding!

Warden is right, Von Kreedon, or Von Cretin, as some liked to call him, is the answer.

Thank you, Warden. My compliments on your excellent memory and skillz of deduction.

Anyway, so what ever happened to Von Kreedon?

Posted by: Bart at October 20, 2006 04:08 PM (jgJsP)

125 What ever happened to Cedarford? did he get banned?

Posted by: Carin at October 20, 2006 04:10 PM (7DRRb)

126 Cedarford did get banned.

Posted by: Slublog at October 20, 2006 04:12 PM (R8+nJ)

127 I thought Von Kreedon was a paleocon? Anyway, he's been commenting at Karol's.

Carin, Cedartroll got banned after making one too many racist comments.

128 That reminds me, did anyone ever find out how we could get an online poker tourny going?

I'm tempted to organize one myself. You can create private tables at most sites. I've never done it, so I don't know how it works, really.

A monthly tournie could be really fun. I would like it to run late at night, though, in order to honor the AoS lifestyle.

Posted by: Warden at October 20, 2006 04:15 PM (rZ5uY)

129 A monthly tournie could be really fun

Agree.

I think it would be a ton-o-fun. Especially if we had 40 or 50 AoSer�s in on it.

Posted by: A. Weasel at October 20, 2006 04:23 PM (OJeni)

130

A poker tournament sounds like fun.

I haven't played poker with the boys in years.

(Gals welcome too of course.)

Posted by: CAD Daddy at October 20, 2006 04:28 PM (U6x6j)

131 This is vintage AoS.

It's a great thread, guest starring vonKreedon as the humorless jerk who defends Canada against humor.

Posted by: Bart at October 20, 2006 04:31 PM (jgJsP)

132 OMG! Slu, darlin' you just made me laugh so hard, I have tears running down my face!
Here I am, killing a vacation day, cleaning house, running my puppy to and from the vet
(say good-bye nuts!) doing busy work so I do not have to drag it out over the weekend, being generally bored.
I make my daily stop at AOS and almost wet my pants laughing over your sad tale!
THANK YOU!
Good golly I needed that!
The corporate dweebs have had me tied up in knots and you just provided the medicine I needed!
BTW, your daughter is absolutely adorable!
Great job on the faces!
Nice to see who we are reading.
Compos, my family calls it "Barfby's"
(aka Arby's) for a reason!

Posted by: Melissa In Texas at October 20, 2006 04:34 PM (bbxLM)

133 Slu: perhaps you could make a motivational poster for compos from this.

Posted by: Roy at October 20, 2006 04:35 PM (wY194)

134 No no no - it's not my tale.

It's compos' story. Compos mentis.

Aw, crap.

So to speak.

Posted by: Slublog at October 20, 2006 04:37 PM (R8+nJ)

135 Bart - great find on that thread. Rocketeers comment still cracks me up:

von Kreedon. That's a variant of the German name von Creedon, right? Which makes sense, because we all know the Germans are humorless, uptight, beer swilling & drunk jackboot-wearing bunker-humpers.

And that's damn funny, if you think about it.

Posted by: Slublog at October 20, 2006 04:39 PM (R8+nJ)

136 I remember that thread. One of the first ones I ever read here.

I been lurking here for over a year?
WOW....I really need to get out more.

But Slu, you said only your wife knew about this. And now you are saying Compos told the story. So how did he know about it?

I am all confused now.

Posted by: Tushar D at October 20, 2006 04:44 PM (h76y6)

143 That was part of the tale.

Posted by: Slublog at October 20, 2006 04:45 PM (R8+nJ)

144 Slu, if we ever have an AoS blooper reel...

Anyway, I always liked off-the-wall slightly vicious humor.
rho: Boy, listening to vonCretin inform us what is and is not funny sure isn't funny. Well, actually, it's a bit funny, because when he waves his arms about, his tiny dick pokes out his open fly, which is pretty funny.

Posted by: Bart at October 20, 2006 04:49 PM (jgJsP)

145

Wait, wait,wait!

In this story, Slublog is the one wearing purple girl's shorts, right?

So exactly where does Compos Mentis come in? Was he the coach?

146 I like purple.

148 Roy, that was awesome!

Posted by: Tushar D at October 20, 2006 04:51 PM (h76y6)

149 As for me, I have such a mental block against using public toilets. I also cannot hold it long. 5 minutes tops. When I was doing my post-grad, I used to take a 16 hour bus ride to go home to Mom&Dad. I used to take a anit-diorrheal pill that would plug me up and keep me safe.

Posted by: Tushar D at October 20, 2006 04:55 PM (h76y6)

150 Roy, good one!
He could only wish he were "retentive" that day.
Compos, I bet that is one incident your wife will never forget.

Posted by: Melissa In Texas at October 20, 2006 04:58 PM (bbxLM)

151 Slu,

I just scrolled up and noticed the Faces of Ace's page. It's pretty cool being able to put a face to some of the regulars here.

Funny, I always thought TallDave was older.

Anyway, I'll email you a pic sometime.

Posted by: Warden at October 20, 2006 05:01 PM (rZ5uY)

152 That would be great, Warden. Site has been updated to include A Weasel, Nice Deb and CAD Daddy.

Posted by: Slublog at October 20, 2006 06:47 PM (DRVzW)

153 Compos Mentis, I cannot think I hate you any longer. Nipple rings or not, after reading that story Slu generously shared with us, I now understand that if you can tell such a vile story and still have me laughing this hard, if you lived closer you could be one of my family.

Have a wonderful Friday peoples.

Oh, and Mr. Minority, my favorite Texas expression (from my brother-in-law) was "why don't you go piss up a rope"?

heh heh

157 Crap, I think I confused Von Bek (who IS, I think, a paleo) with lefty Von Kreedon.

Sorry.

158 You people suck! My work week starts tomorrow morning, and I can't sleep. But, then, I get to be off while you are all at work next week. Hopefully I will be able to get a real job within the next couple weeks.

Nice Deb, you DO look like the girl in that post about Octoberfest, You should remind your husband how lucky he is. All that and brains too!

Slu, I had that happen to me once, when I was at Band Camp...
