Your “I Scream, You Scream….Wait, WHY ARE WE SCREAMING????” Friday Evening Open Thread

I’m not gonna sugarcoat this.  I’ve had a really bad week.  From many different fronts.

Frankly, I’m pissed off at the world and just about everyone in it.  And I’m not in the mood to talk about it.

So at the very least, you’re not gonna have to read my ramblings this week.  You folks can count yourselves lucky there.

But a few very good men, whose names totally don’t rhyme with, BallsofSteelandFury, Low Commander of the Super Soldiers, and Rikki-Tikki-Deadly ….  Well, I guess the best way to say it is that they talked me down and/or called me out on my bullshit, respectively.

Life has kinda stunk more often than not for me lately.  There are reasons for that, but again I’m not in the mood to talk about it.  Admittedly, some days, I don’t handle it as well as I might wish.

But when you have friends who care?  Good people who genuinely care and who will expend their time because they’re concerned about you?  Friends who are willing to tell you what you NEED to hear, instead of just what you WANT to hear?  Even if it’s just by being honest with you and telling you you’re being an asshole when you’re being an asshole?  You see where I’m going here?

That’s a pretty good deal.  That’s tough to beat.  I count myself lucky there.  I’ll take it.

(thank you, gentlemen….sincerely)


Drippy Drippy

Anywhoooooo….

FWIW, this week’s theme was Low Commander’s suggestion as well.  And it was a good one.  I think he must have seen this girl and… welllllll…..yeah….

Sexy Ice Cream is this week’s theme.

More on that in just a bit.  For now, you’ll have to wait.

At Least One Thing Went Well This Week

(aka your tWBS weed growing update for the week)

Would you lookit that little bastard right there?  I’m quite proud of myself here.  Those little squiggly white things at the top is a developing bud.

I can’t believe this plant recovered.  It literally got too top heavy and fell over on its side.  I thought the main stem was broken and that it was a goner.  I then stole some of my mother’s knitting needles (please don’t tell her) and staked them down and used them to prop it up.  And then it went batshit crazy the last coupla weeks as far as growth and flowering.

There are eight more buds (most out of frame) which are also flowering.  For now, they’re all very small and nothing to brag about.  But I might be able to harvest some and smoke it by Christmas.

Come on down that chimney, Santa.  I got you covered up in here.

DUDE?????????

OK, well please don’t call the cops and report me or I’ll have to kill his jolly fat ass.

And yes, I’m still waiting on that Colecovision system I asked for from 1982, you damned lying prick.

(I could have saved sooooooo many quarters if Santa hadn’t screwed me over)

This Week in DFO

I’m lazy this week so I’m not gonna do a full rundown.  And besides, it’s no contest this week.  Everyone did great work this week, don’t get me wrong.  We have about the best team of writers I could ever imagine having.

(although sometimes our judgement is questionable….maybe)

However….

As usual, BeerGuyRob  anchored many of the week’s open threads.  But he also did this, and this, and this, and this, and this.

BeerCanBobby  is Employee of the Week this week, far and away.

Plus, perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps not, he’s also now the newest co-owner of DFO, too!!!

And that’s a good thing.  A really good thing.

I love the word “garrotte.”

I so infrequently have a chance to use it in a sentence.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“Trebuchet” is a favorite of mine. But unless I actually had one, I see little chance of my ever using it in a description of anything that happens in reality.

yeah right

If you were able to pass the “portcullis” on the way to the “garrotting” then we may have to fling you from the “trebuchet!”

I think we just wrote a script.

When I was a kid I wanted to live in the Kennedy Center. That’s totally normal, right?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Center for the Performing Arts or Space Center? I was always a space geek.

Doktor Zymm

Performing Arts. I didn’t have any opportunities to run around the Space Center as a kid, although Air and Space was my favorite museum. One of Amelia Earhart ‘s planes was my favorite exhibit

I always wondered about this.

Brick Meathook

I grew up across the river from the Kennedy Center, which is about two miles. Washington DC was a small hick town back then.

Doktor Zymm

I made good use of this and similar clips when my friend was actually living in his van. I made a whole mix tape. I’m not sure if I was an asshole or a good friend, but it was super fun either way

Viva La Tabula Raza

Depends on whether he was inspired to improve his condition and get out of the situation, or despaired and ran a hose from the exhaust into the van cabin and let the vehicle run.

Doktor Zymm

It was always a temporary thing, and he would have had any number of places to stay at mine and others if he wanted. He’s happily married now with a one kid and another imminent. I really don’t remember why he didn’t just go stay with his parents,

Viva La Tabula Raza

Glad to hear at least one happy result today.

Doktor Zymm

Don’t undersell, there were a couple years there where it was murder capital!

Viva La Tabula Raza

My dad had to drive to work on Nebraska Avenue during the 1968 9th Street riots, right through the belly of the riot beast. He kept his handgun on the passenger seat next to him in his ’66 Buick Wildcat. Still alive today, though.

Doktor Zymm

Wow, that’s a hell of a story, would love to hear more. I love personal accounts of even the mundane bits of history

Viva La Tabula Raza

He lived through some interesting times, and has some pretty cool stories, especially about the early 60s setting up air bases in Thailand and S. Vietnam as that situation ramped up, and flying as an aircrew on RB-50s out of Japan on spy missions over Red China and the USSR in the mid-50s. I converted him from being a lifelong Republican in about 1990, and despite the residual racism inherent in most people who came up in the 40s and 50s that he occasionally exhibits, he’s still a fun guy to hang and drink with. He only stopped smoking weed a few years ago, mostly due to difficulty in obtaining out in the sticks where he lives.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Well, since I work for the USAF Civil Engineer, and count several ex-Colorado Springs ring-knockers among my co-workers, I guess I am morally obligated to watch this AF-UNLV matchup. Also still have a mostly full cocktail.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Weird, I’ve had a shit of projects at the USAFA over the years. The bomber Mary painting in the chapel was my favorite discovery.

Viva La Tabula Raza

We’ve been working on awarding a project to upgrade the AFA Chapel for the last several years. Just the design has taken that long. How do you put fire sprinklers in that building without destroying the aesthetic? I have distanced myself quite successfully from the cluster fuck that the project will be. They are doing the source selection for the construction task order at this time.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

There were some good ideas about sprinkler lines in there when some new lighting was put in, but at huge cost. My favorite projects were the campus heating system; the high temperature heating water piped around to to the various buildings. Not many of those type of systems around.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Last I knew the Chapel project was approaching a programmed amount of $100M. I’d rather jack off a mad lion than be the PM on a high-vis high-$$$ project like that.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We didn’t do many project there after they privatized the CE.

That does sound like a cluster.

Viva La Tabula Raza

yeah, the civilian CE folks there now are a bunch of prima donnas.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I worked with civilian CE people that worked directly for the Academy and were under an officer. They fired or retired all those people and had a private firm come in, and when the profit motive was introduced so was the finger pointing when things went wrong; a lot of stuff went to shit. Privatizing certainly doesn’t make things more efficient in most cases.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Good old Dick Cheney. His legacy lives on.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I like the mushroom cloud portrayed in the stained glass at the chapel at Offutt AFB. I was stunned when I found out it existed. But I mean, Curtis Lemay; what the fuck you gonna do?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

My dad had an encounter with that guy, indirectly. He was out of uniform and lost a rank or two if I remember the story right. “Bomb them back into the stone age.”

Brick Meathook

You’re the same age as me. And also a veteran.

I wonder where that ukulele is right now?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That ukulele has seen some things, man.

Fronkenshteen

Well it’s DEFINITELY seeing “something” in that picture!

Fronkenshteen

If I was a journalist right now, there’s a 100% chance that at all times, I would be carrying a high-powered firearm around with a concealed carry permit. Jared Kushner stole classified U.S. intelligence and used it to facilitate torture, imprisonment, kidnapping, murder, and the dismemberment of a corpse. And nothing of any consequence is going to happen to him as a result of his actions. The rule of law has crumbled. Its every man for himself now.

Viva La Tabula Raza

A quick run through the headlines makes me pleased that I am not going to have to live beyond the next 20 years. I do feel bad for my relatives and their spawn, and the hell they are going to live through. But most of them are too busy Facebooking and Instragramming cute dog videos to pay attention.

I really hope the killer asteroid hits just west of me, and I can watch the world die on FOX news as the death cloud moves around the world until it finally reaches here.

Doktor Zymm

Rule of law hasn’t crumbled, but it has been made more explicit that it only applies to certain folk. My remaining hope is that this is the last gasp of backlash before things change for good. I don’t think humans are truly capable of equity, but we can and will do far better than this.

Doktor Zymm

So, it’s actually impossible to pour just a shot of liquor into a wine glass, right? It just looks sad and pathetic unless it’s at least a triple shot in there

Sharkbait

Impossible? No. But I do agree, it does look very sad.

Doktor Zymm

The only time I almost ended up in the hospital for drink, it was a whiskey tasting staffed by wine tasting folk. They poured as they would pour wine tasters. So, basically a shot each taste. And hell no I don’t spit. I was marking stuff off for most of the night, and I probably ended at almost 30. It’s more than what killed Dylan Thomas

Not going to open another bottle of wine, so the question becomes; gin or bourbon?

Spur

Bourbon and weed.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Brand choice?

Doktor Zymm

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Bourbon neat or if not lazy make a martooni with jalapeño stuffed olives, very cold and a touch of Vermou…… not, fuck the Vermouth; just us a small touch of the juice from the olive jar. IMHOTIAR.

Doktor Zymm

Good point, I forgot I could mix drinks. But sadly no olives, I tend to prefer the blue cheese stuffed to the jalapeno stuffed though. I feel sad for people with a genetic predisposition to hate stinky cheese.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The jalapeño stuffed ones will also be back to haunt you the next day. The blue cheese ones actually help my stomach irritation a bit. I like both, but the heat is my preference.

Doktor Zymm

If I want heat, I rim the glass with cayenne

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

One time I did that and later went into the bathroom and when I looked in the mirror it was like a bad impression of the Joker. One must be careful.

Why am i seeing ads for some California Proposition on the ballot, apparently meant to kill dialysis patients, here in Texas during the NLCS commercial break?
There would be no ad here, if it meant affecting healthcare in order to make it easier to kill poor people. Hell, there would be no proposition, period.

Doktor Zymm

Because there is a shitton of funding by sketchy for profit dialysis Corps behind the ads for that prop and they cast a wide net

Viva La Tabula Raza

Their market research folks need to bear down, I can’t even vote absentee in California from San Antonio (or can I?).

Doktor Zymm

Probably? It’s easier to vote in CA than like, any other state

Doktor Zymm

I feel you on the shitty week. The last few haven’t been great, but this one really was awful. Today at least was the least horrible day of the week, and there were actually some good bits, so hopefully I turned a corner and things will get back to normalish. Although, I am now pretty committed to switching groups at work. Once someone you’re supposed to work closely with has been a total asshole to you because you didn’t prioritize a personal favor to them over actual important work that’s your actual job, it’s kinda hard to stick around.

Doktor Zymm

More than just work stuff, but that was the most disconcerting bit.

And who doesn’t love juvenile humor? If you can’t laugh at single entedres than that’s just sad 😛

Shavonne: Gilligan’s Island?
Kaye: It’s what’s called a male pornographic fantasy.

Kaye: Think about it. You’re basically alone on a deserted island with two readily available women. One a seductive sex-goddess type, the other a healthy girl-next-door type with a nice butt. So guys have it all, the Madonna and the whore. Women get nothing; we get a geek, an overweight middle-aged guy, some nerdy scientific type, I mean…

Hey let’s take a survey: I know some of us are drinking, and some of us are getting high. How many of us are doing the Saturday New York Times crossword puzzle (in ink) on a hooker’s ass while another hooker is pouring top grade cocaine under their eyelids and yet another hooker is licking their freshly waxed nut sack? I’m not saying that’s me but you have no way of telling now, do you?
