I saw Jane last night and have to admit, the image of Short Ride in a bikini forced me to use the industrial strength brain bleach.

G’Morning, Dakine
How ya doin’today? Got yer dukes up? Yesterday’s kerfuffle was something wasn’t it? You done good, I thought.

FIDO

Let’s just say there was a surfeit of stupid floating around the Lake yesterday.

When? I spent a good part of the day shoveling the driveway and walks – over and over.

You didn’t need it. DaKine showed incredible restraint. . . Raven, not so much. Hell, Demi even tried being nice to em!

I was lurking. I thought your response was appropriate. There’s just no defending what that guy was doing.

Glad I missed it. Retraint not being one of my few virtues.

Good morning all and thanks for the post BT.

Thanks for coming back and wagging your finger at us. Did the trick and I was able to move on.
BTW, I did burn herbs in the kitchen, for the sake of purification and meditated a little before I made that cake. Didn’t want the negative vibes, man, to get infused. Ha.

Sage or sweet grass?

back to bbq’in Liebershitz

Heh. Gonna put 12 lbs of pork butt on my smoker this afternoon to go overnight. Some friends are having a party tomorrow afternoon. Something about football…

Oh, sage. Had I sweet grass, I might have put it In the cake.
And, yes, Jane was hysterical on Rachel. Topless Joe and Chris “Miss Congeniality” Dodd. Too funny.
So, what’s on the agenda for today’s Miss Beauty Pageant? I wonder if anyone will play their flute or pull out their baton. (tongue in cheek)

Not so sure he is who needs to be bbq’d. Everyone should know what an ass he is. I blame those that opened the door and let him in.

I was holding my sides I was laughing so hard at the image of Short Ride in a topless bikini parading in front of the judges.

Perhaps more of this ridicule of our congresscritters (both houses) is exactly what is needed to help bring these prima donnas back to earth. I think they don’t see themselves as a lot of the country sees them. Didn’t Short Ride mention his Senatorial “right” or “privilege” (can’t recall the word he used) to filibuster anything he doesn’t like, thereby preventing his equally ranked colleagues from debating and voting?

Nice to see Bayh reined in a bit by the backlash. I hope there’s a decent primary candidate, cuz I ain’t voting for Bayh. I wiil sit on my hands at home first.

How to handle Liarman? Take a cue from Michael Coreleone in “Godfather II”.

My senator has drawn a challenger but I can’t see any difference between them. Michael Bennet seems to be doing ok. Only vote I gave him hell over was the cramdown.

How do you solve a problem like Joe Lieberman?
How do you catch a clod and put him down?

I dislike making generalizations, but it has occured to me that I tend to be cautious about pretty men. They often disappoint. I could make a list, but I’m sure you know who all I mean.
And, the sad thing is, I too can picture that image of, as you said, Short Ride in a topless bikini parading in front of the judges. But, in my head, it’s more like sashaying.

Well I was going to make a snarky comment about Luke Russert on Morning Joe, but I’m feeling too mellow this a.m. Let’s just say he needs seasoning. And how nice that he gets to find it on national cable television instead of out in the hustings of real america on some shlubby local station….

Lawrence O’Donnell–sanity in the vast wasteland that is morning television.

A flibbertijibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown! (actual lyrics, not rewritten)

Well this weekend is haloween. Guess it is the time for nightmarish things.

I guess I missed something yesterday. Oh, well.

And I ain’t gonna get into a football kerfuffle with Raven.

We’re what, a 16 point dog? I guess you never know. Have you ever read Cross Creek by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings> She was a real foodie and there is some great stuff about eating and the Dawgs-Gators game. There is even a Cross Creek Cookbook.

I guess the kiddies can’t trick or treat in the depths of snow you have, huh? So, just lots of parties?

Figuratively. I guess I should watch what I say in light of his heritage.

Yea you did.

“Clown” is correct!

Could open a whole new can of worms. I find it amazing what people hide behind. (But, then, I’m an idiot. *g*)

Walkways will all be shoveled. I am all stocked up.

Lady Blue from Willow the Wisp

good morning. any sign of ecahn this morning?

Sonny boy has a “V” mask and hat to wear to school and he just loaded his pockets with mini tootsie rolls. We’ll carve the big old pumpkin tomorrow.

I saw Jane last night and have to admit, the image of Short Ride in a bikini forced me to use the industrial strength brain bleach.

LOL!

good think suz and others at FDL keep the place stocked up.

I have the book but need to finish it. It’s embarrassing that her cabin is less than a half hour away but I haven’t been there. Great restaurant with authentic cracker food there, too, from what I’ve heard.

I wouldn’t put much stock in the line on the game. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance and flashes of awful. The Gators just haven’t been punished for their awful. Yet.

One more note on Jane’s beauty pageant analogy. Note that the Miss America pageants, like the Senate, have equal representation for each state, rather than anything population-based. Note also that each contestant is competing only for herself and not for any greater cause.

Since our eyes (and brains) have already been burned, how about if we just tie that bikini top around Joe’s mouth as a gag?

I figure on any given day any team can be beaten. I’m reminded of the guy here who kept harping on no SEC team could beat a Big Ten team earlier this year. Haven’t seen him since. *g*

My daughter lives in Norman, OK and they have a home game Sat against K=State. The town is doing the trick or treat thing tonight. Can’t wait to get the pics of the grands.

The film is good too, Steenburgen is good but Rip Torn steals the show.

Oh, sweet and sultry for a Friday morning. Thank you, Raven.
Hey, he’s got Southern Dragon hair.

I also am sometimes suspicious of “pretty” men (was suckered by Edwards, tho…). But I think the same sometimes applies to women: physically attractive individuals succeed on their looks, to some extent, beginning in high school (or earlier). A lot of “pretty” men and women turn out to be also pretty inside, and substantive, thoughtful individuals. But somehow those who are less physically attractive have to work harder.

I recall a high school classmate (male) who was physically very unattractive and as a result was unpopular. At the first class reunion I attended — 10 years — I learned that he is both an M.D. and an attorney, wildly successful. He still looks a bit like Ichabod Crane, but even that has softened with age. But he obviously had to overcome his physical appearance more than someone with his intellect and a pleasing countenance.

AARRGG. Too much philosophizing for this hour.

Now that is nuts! I’m a Big10er by birth but 25 years in Athens has made me a believer in the SEC.

I do too, it’s in the dresser drawer in a bag!

My younger daughter is a “dark angel”. Actually even put on some goth makeup to go with the black gown and black halo. The black wings won’t work at school but she will wear them tomorrow night. Her coloring is perfect for it and her best friend is a blond dressing as a white angel.

You’d love me then!

I used to have a beard like that too. *g*

As a Kentucky Wildcat fan I have to disagree with that somewhat. Especially given the ‘Cats inability to beat Florida and Tennessee in more than 20 years, South Carolina for almost ten years and Spurrier at all.

Aw, this guy was over the top sometimes. All he got from me was, “We’ll see.” Then the Gators handed OK their ass on a platter. Not a sighting or peep since.

Several years ago, when my husband had his tail cut off, they asked if we wanted to keep it. We opted out, but I know some others who saved them. Have I mentioned lately that I love old hippies?

GAWD, Jane, I LMAO at your comparison with a Beauty Pageant and Joe !

I live in the Great State of CT, and remain ashamed and embarassed at this whinny baby being one of my Senators.

I LIVE for 2012, to watch Joe and his little wife to be sent off into the sunset! Maybe a job selling ladies shoes at Macys is in his future, but I can’t wait to get rid of him.

I worked so hard for Lamont—just to get rid of this traitorous slug.

I could get nostaligic thinking of the costumes my kids had when they were growing up. The memory that makes me smile is how when they were younger they wore them for weeks. Even slept in them. Thought of that yesterday when I was out shopping and saw the tykes wearing theirs. So much fun to be someone or something else.

I was playing around on photoshop and ended up with this rather disturbing image.

Yup, I’d get it caught in the zipper of my motorcyle jacket if I wasn’t careful!

It’s never too early to philosophize. For me, anyway. I’m prone to need to make sense of things. My cross to bear.

Hey SD OK has been creamed by injuries this year. Playing with true fresh @ QB and has lost three games by a total of five points. Considering all they haven’t exactly been handed their ass.

I got tired of the tigers tryin’ to make a nest in it.

LOL. Of course I would!

Marta, you’re bad. Very bad. Some people are spewing coffee right now.
(Distributing screen wipes.)

Yup, I’d get it caught in the zipper of my motorcyle jacket if I wasn’t careful!

Um, get what caught? Oh, yeah, I see ;-)

OMG, I know her!!

His always knocking his looks, but I’ve seen pix. He’s a doll. Okay, not to mention got the smarts too. But, alas, he’s taken. Lucky lady.

That is hilarious. Someone should make sure Jane and Rachel see it. Can you tint the bikini pink? (Haven’t used photoshop, but I know it has tremendous capabilities…)

Molly! I had the same misperception/image too. We both be bad this am.
Ouch!

Hee hee. This was my take on it…

I’ve seen pics of SD, but don’t think I’ve seen Raven. But we are all “of an age” and we’re all “dolls” don’tcha know….

Oh, Jane has seen it……. :-)

New post upstairs

Yup, I have a congenitally dirty mind. And I actually went off to another blog briefly and came back and didn’t read upthread to learn it was a BEARD that was threatened by that zipper!!

LOL. Love the lighthearted discussion after reading yesterday’s kerfluffle and that abysmal feminist diary.

Aaaaaaaaccccccckkkkkkkkkk!

You need to send it to Rachel, too! She really liked Jane’s analogy. More ridicule of these fools, please!!

you have fb mail

He’s on FB and has shots there.

Love that great mind, babe.

great minds and sewers travel the same paths

What was the title of the thread? I’m curious now that I missed it. I blame it on the go towards gunfire chromosome.

Disgraceful: In 8 Years George W Bush Never Greeted Fallen Troops

and

Seminal Diary: Can We Talk About How Disgustingly Sexist Feminism Is?

Warning:
Be prepared for a lot of WTF is he talking about moments while reading

Are you telling molly and me to get our minds out of the gutter? You make me smile.

Mine lives there permanently.

Has anyone heard anything from Katymine lately?

It was really sorta disorienting to read it. But I was doing it this morning over breakfast and didn’t have time to scroll back and forth to see the comments plus go over to the diary and read that.

Couple of the others who chimed in surprised me, too….thought they were pretty levelheaded until now.

I have asked a few times and nobody seems to have heard. Elmore updated us in the past, so was hoping he would this time, but she may not be able to ask him to, and he might not think of it if things are really bad — which they may be.

EDIT: Gawd what a convoluted sentence that is.

Wasn’t Elmore off doing his NFL/ESPN thing?

Whoa, just a quick scan and…wow. I’ll read them in full later. wow.

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

US KIA Irak: 4353

US KIA Afghanistan: 908

US MBS 2009: 37,324

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

Not that I’ve seen.

Who, me? I thought I was fairly even keeled.

Nope, but I’ve been thinking about her a lot. Gosh. And, Elmore.

No, I’ve decided you and I think alike. I mean the person called ‘fuckno’

He (may be she) always seemed pretty reasonable, but not this time.

I really did make a cake. Devils’s food with fudge frosting. Would you care for a slice? You know, through the tubes, it becomes fat and calorie free.

NOMNOMNOM. *Licks fingers*

Just finished reading That Diary(a). Had I done so before I got involved in the Other Thread, I wouldn’t have engaged that person at all. Maybe I should stick with talking to people I know.

Speaking of football and the Big 10 – How about those Hawks!

They’re lookin’ good! Foothills Mike is having to make excuses for those sorry Sooners, their QB is actually a redshirt Frosh according to both me (and the somewhat more authoritative OU website).

Hey, Dylan Ratigan’s been pretty good lately. Hitting REALLY hard on health care and Wall Street.
