Heya Suze!
hi suzanne
g’evening ya’ll
how’s everyone tonight?
I’m watching OPB play a giant infomercial for CD’s of songs from the sixties. There’s some great video footage and recent concerts too.
Bitchin’ man.
Pretty battle weary…
“how’s everyone tonight?”
Fine, except for heartburn and a cough.
This song is a find.
Good news, anyone?
cool video, i smiled until it ended. back to grump mode
i’m feeling like i got rode hard and put to bed wet. must be the not quite spring and still winter blahs.
Two yr olds and five yr olds still get great joy from blowing soap bubbles through wands on a Spring day. And so do I.
go listen to the live version — he’s a little ‘looser’ with his verbiage.
Good news: no more ice here!
Did you get a path in the snow dug yet?
Oh tell me about it … I’m walking down a driveway with 3 foot snow walls. Will I ever see spring?
“Good news, anyone?”
Well, Obama won in Mississippi, 61 percent to 37 percent. I consider that good news, some might disagree…
Coffee can only perform minor miracles, eh?
Conservative Christian, Right Wing Republican values:
“OKLAHOMA CITY 3/11/08 - A state lawmaker who declared that homosexuality is a greater threat to the United States than terrorism received a standing ovation from fellow Republican legislators Monday.”
hey busted - figuring you must be an expert - how do ya know if ya busted a knuckle?
I think that is good news!
will do that, i’m trying to shake this foul mood before mr is finished watching some soccer match
Can I leave all the talking heads out of it though? Bleergh…
g’evening Suzanne and Firepups.
Lot’s of swelling, you can still move it but it hurts like a MFer.
Mainly the swelling.
If a brother Conservative says something, you clap.
If he says something really stupid, you clap real loud.
hey ndfg
Margot, they are talking about higher temps here, and possible flooding in parts.
On the way to bed, but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to link this: Allen Ginsberg, as performed by Rage Against the Machine.
It Hadda be Playin’ on a Jukebox.
Why?
Did you make a boo boo?
have you tried a banana? :)
i think it is too ugly to be considered a booboo, busted. little finger knuckle on the right hand where the finger joins the hand. turns out the wall punched back.
internet’s starting to fade over here. maybe i will get mine fixed tomorrow and stop stealing from the neighbors.
night all!
…and the more extreme, hateful, bigoted and mean the pronouncement, the more worthy it is of accolades. That party needs to be ended.
i wasn’t in the banana mood earlier ;)
i made popcorn because i was in the mood for it, but damn. It sure would be better with a Rethug scandal to accompany it.
boa noite, texbetsy
pain free sleep wishes tex
Nice to see Todd gettin’ some national attention. I mean, Suzanne has him on the playlist, fer chrissakes! He’s a hoot, and always has been. Doesn’t play Indy all that much, but I think he’s in Bloomington pretty much every other week…
Boxers break. I have those on both hands. The last time the back of my hand swoll up 3 times normal size and stayed that way for six MONTHS.
Those are pretty bad honey, they would more’n likely wanna put a cast on that.
I’m just sayin.
baby girl and i heard this song shortly after i moved up here - and we were singing it by the time the song ended. tis a perfect santa cruz song with jokes about kpig and sleepy john.
been a todd fan ever since.
fork - its not hurting too bad - just looks ugly. luckily, i have a pretty high pain tolerence.
Good news, anyone?
Why yes, since you asked….
Final report on the run-off for Julia Carson’s seat:
Name Votes Vote %
Andre D. Carson (D) 45,598 54.04%
Jon Elrod (R) 36,322 43.04%
Sean Shepard (L) 2,419 2.87%
445 of 445 precincts reporting
Elrod still refusing to concede - *s*
good win, big win… this is by no means a guaranteed seat anymore…
My theme song!
Ice it down.
careful, it can turn into an ear worm

Oh, yeah, now that’s what I’m talking about.
Anyway, earlier someone mentioned the Mayflower Madam. Her bio from wiki: Sydney Biddle Barrows. A matter of opinion to be sure, but hardly the kind of thing gets me in high dudgeon.
It’s gonna hurt tomorrow.
this might help you forget yur pain

hard to ice when using a mouse and keyboard busted
nothing worse than an aggressive wall
I have a story to tell in Indiana’s 7th district. It may take a bit of mulling over to understand.
Andre Carson won election to his late grandmother’s seat in Congress over a Republican, John Elrod, who was not supported by them at all. Carson was a Christian, as was his grandmother, but after his marriage converted to Islam, of the Farrakhan variety.
The Republican-controlled media here never reported this fact. Carson and his opponent never mentioned it as far as I noticed. An undeniable fact is that the electorate here had no clue either. But, given the national headlines that will now report this fact, including the Indianapolis media, and it will become known, for the first time for a vast majority of the district. Indianapolis will wake up tomorrow and 80% of the voters will become aware of it for the first time.
I know that this may be difficult to fathom, but it is an accurate representation.
There will be a primary fight in our May 6 primary with 8 candidates for the Demo nomination, although only 4 of the candidates are to be taken seriously.
My question is this: What do you guys think of such a tale? Such as possible Repug tactics and motivations?
hahahahaha thanks spidey
Duct tape.
(eyes rolling)
All anybody need is duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it ain’t supposed to, duct tape it. If it don’t move and it’s supposed to, squirt it with WD-40.
All those doggies getting to Nome in a few hours…
That might actually be good news for the home team. So far out of the mainstream anymore, thank heavens.
Yea! Great news.
do you think being muslim will hurt him in the election? depends on how he handles it in my opinion.
Don’t laugh, I have used electricians tape to bind up some gnarly cuts that had to have several stitches put in later.
woohoo how ya doing et
electricians tape is not duct tape
Woof!!
Well, the pertinent fact is that very few of the electorate were even aware of it beforehand. And as I said, the Repugs did not support his opponent at all.
‘night, all.
What? You punched a wall? Dang, Suz!
sounds like my uncle’s motto ;)
g’nite rond
All I had handy.
Get a zip loc sandwich bag an put some ice innit and put it next to yer mouse.
Gnite RonD
M15: I just posted this on a new beer hall putsch.
So are any of you armchair activists doing anything to fight the evil this new marching season? Or would you prefer to simply quip about your various insights, infirmities and carbuncles?
Honking on. Literally. The UAA Trombone Trio gives our annual concert the first week of April. I’m using spring break to get into a mode where I practice trombone, trumpet and bugle two hours a day or more, so that I’ll sound nice and sweet in April. And spending extra time getting Diane Benson elected to replace Don Young. And bringing car keys to my son when he locks himself out of his car - sheesh!!!
page not found is what your link goes to
Welcome Ray. So pleased you could join us!
Oh, bad link.
baby girl called me late this afternoon to tell me she had just been rear ended. luckily, no injuries and minimal damage to her car
boa noite, rond
Dang ET, you have a lot of talent!
while we are duct-taping busted nuckles and so on, does anybody know anything about accupressure? I stopped taking my expensive acid reflux medicine and the cheaper stuff is not doing the job. My wife thought accupressure might help. I know nothing about it. So far I haven’t found anything on the toobz except books and other stuff for sale. I’m looking for help right now!
It all just seems very strange, in an unintended (or not) consequences sort of way.
I don’t get it. Was this a primary or a special election? Sounded like a special election to me since there was a dem, a puke, and an independent according to jayt’s info. Why would the pukes wait to bring this up?
Um, no.
Do you have any Ace bandages you could wrap the injury with and cover with ice pack? Should help the swelling & reduce pain. Yikes Suz!
nope sorry, i’ve never done it
It’s not a joke, Ray.
It’s a new Democrat elected to Congress.
Let’s try this again…. LINK
And if that doesn’t work, I’ve got other links…
ray, that was uncalled for and you know it.
Cain’t help ya there.
It was a special. I think they wanted it to happen first. Then make hay.
careful, it can turn into an ear worm
No kidding - damn, that’s the only Todd Snyder song that annoys me a little bit - it’s from the Bob and Tom show, from here in Indy (you can hear those guys laughing in the background) and I was listening to it live at the time…
let’s see if I can’t find something else….
ok, found it:

From what I’ve read here tonight, it was a special election to fill a seat that was vacant due to the death of incumbent Julia Carson. The winner tonight is her grandson. He defeated a Republican tonight so he is now elected.
Excuse? I’m on Hamilton’s campaign, fighting Issa.
This is true. Is a fairly safe demo district.
Re:
What message are you referring to? The one where I announce I’m creating a huge anti-war event, or the one where I discuss plumbing?
The point is how could he have run without this info even being mentioned, much less made an issue.
working on informing more folks about human trafficking and yourself?
More duct tape?
it is strange, i’ll have to ponder that one
the derogatory comment about muslims, ray.
we’ve had this dicussion before - not gonna have it again.
Great! That’s what I gathered from Jayt’s updates.
oh, and reading informative information on the uses of duct tape and wd-40. fascinating stuff really
The one where you’re asking if we’re all sitting on our asses.
TYVM. There truly is a local media twilight zone here, where facts that would become well-known in other markets are kept quite invisible. It is definitely not the first time.
That was busted, wobbly.
thanks, suzanne
my bullshit tolerance is low tonight
carlo, have you verified that he is in fact muslim?
i know, but he asked what we were doing and that was one of the things that i was doing when he posted the question
ray, that is
I think you’re wrong. The May 6 primary shouldn’t include Andre Carson at all. It was a special election to determine who fulfills the the remainder of Julia’s term. Andre won.
And as the winner, he’ll stand for re-election in November - May 6 has nothing to do with Andre Carson at this point.
And as to the his being a Muslim portion of your statement - I honestly don’t know - but having lived in blood-red Indiana for the better part of my life, I find it hard to believe that such a thing would go un-noticed.
I’ll certainly be checking into these things - and it occurs to me that I’ve never seen you here before - still, I’ll be checking into it.
Re:
My father takes astonishingly expensive acid reflux medicine. He’s been on Maalox for 40 years. My sister has a similar problem. I don’t suffer because I’ve come to understand that diet is a really crucial element in controlling acid reflux in susceptible families. Write me at rayd95 at yahoo dot com and I’ll share my insights into dysfunctional diets of the Duray family and why you should avoid them.
Your gut should function magnificently, if only you respect the limits of sane cuisine.
***
Two centuries ago, most all grasping aristocrats eventually succumbed to gout, because of their silly and mordantly expensive diets. The rich no longer suffer from gout. They’ve learned what to avoid. This is the key to success in life, and gastro-intestinal nirvana.
think a good cure for my sour mood is a little snuggly time with the dog.
boa noite, pups.
Hi Ray, Dood. FWIW, I wasn’t able to follow your link.
It’s bed time fer Busted, I gotta get up and go to that place again tomorrow.
Gnite.
I hope you don’t hurt too much tomorrow Suzanne,
