How About A Stupid, Pointless Poll Thread So I Can Take An Hour Off and Shower Myself For the First Time In Three Days

Let me tell you about having the sort of job where you sit in social isolation: You learn pretty quickly which habits of socialization have been internalized, and which remain merely observed due to social pressure. Or not observed, due to an absence of social pressure.

This is not always a happy realization.

The question "Am I dirty and smelly, or, on the down side, unusually dirty and smelly?" isn't one you should have to ask every few days.

Also, the tally shouldn't be running 3-8 in favor of the latter answer. You're really looking for a 50/50 split, or even better.

So anyway, that's my To-Do List for the next hour: Washing my body so that I do not develop pustules and sores.

Meanwhile, someone called strangers on the phone and asked them questions that most people find rude and here's what the dummies who answered said.

onald Trump continues to hold a wide lead among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire, according to a new CNN/WMUR tracking poll, with the pack vying for second place is beginning to break up.
Behind Trump's field-leading 29% support, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio climbs to second place with 18% following his strong third place finish in Iowa, followed by Ted Cruz (13%) and John Kasich (12%) in a near-tie for third. Jeb Bush holds fifth place at 10%, a hair behind Cruz and Kasich, with Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina well behind at 4% each.

By the way, Carly Fiorina is protesting her exclusion from Saturday night's debate, as there isn't even an undercard anymore, and because excluding her -- the only real candidate they're excluding (Jim Gilmore doesn't count) -- seems... well, just pointlessly stupid.

Given that Carly has tied Christie, who is all-in in New Hampshire and has generally been thought to be "surging" there as of a few (admittedly long) weeks ago, come on, let Fiorina debate.

come on, let Fiorina debate.

Nope. Here are the ABC criteria:

Candidates can qualify for the debate stage if they meet one of three requirements: finishing in the top three by popular vote in the Iowa caucuses, placing in the top six in an average of New Hampshire polls recognized by ABC News, or polling in the top six in an average of national GOP polls deemed valid by the network.

She didn't meet a single one of them. Miss Hissy doesn't like it? Hold her own debate and send out invites.

28 I have been funemployed for a couple of months and I must say I've quite taken the optional nature of hygiene.

First, I grew a beard. This is a good way of obscuring whether you've taken the minimal steps at personal grooming, because in corporate drag if I skipped shaving one day I immediately looked like a homeless person who got lucky with some Brooks Brothers donations.

Now I trim the beard and shave the neck and upper cheeks, but if I skip it it doesn't really show. I generally look like a murderer, but as long as I'm not muttering to myself people don't back away in terror or shield their small children behind their knees.

The only part that was getting unmanageable was the head fur, which for the first few weeks could be tamed by a baseball cap but as it got longer became a more reliable indicator of my lapse from clean habits. I had it shorn today.

I may shave the beard. I have to go out in public and meet grown-ups next week.

hy do people keep talking about the land line / cell thing? Pollsters call cell phones and have been for a long time. And while they are not perfect, they are in the ballpark. Iowa polls showed it would be Trump/Cruz/Rubio, it turned out to be Cruz/Trump/Rubio. It's not like the polls said Huck/Santourm would be 1/2 and it ended up being Christine/Jeb or something like that.

Polls still give you a pretty good idea of what's going to happen.

There was a pretty funny Dilbert arc a number of years ago where he starts "telecommuting", i.e working from home. He gradually realizes that he doesn't have to (a) shave, then (b) get dressed, then (c) wear pants, then (d) do any work, so he ends up sitting in his chair naked all day tossing a pencil up in the air and catching it.

174 A lot of new voters went through a caucus in Iowa, so I'd guess that your average poll may still be under representing who will go throw an easier primary process.

Also looked like pollsters majorly missed exactly why turnout was up. Appears from the results while there were some new voters there because Trump energized them, there were a lot more that would usually be content to let others that study more choose their nominee, but feel compelled to show up and vote for someone else to block him.

That's just the theory though. Polling this kind of primary is not work I'd want any part of.

Study: Old people smell better than young people, and women better than men.

The money quote:

"The odor of people 75-95 was judged to be less intense and far more pleasant than the scent of either young or middle-aged adults. In general, men smelled worse than women, but that distinction disappeared in old age, the researchers found."

They're perfect matches. Both of them Silicon Valley wonder women who took over distressed technology icons, promising that their amazing estrogenic Grrrrrrrrl Powerz would speedily restore those companies to glowing competitive health. And then, um, well, shucks, gee whiz, not so much by way of actual results. But there's always politics as a fallback career!

And Mayer has raised so much money for Obama that he'd have a hard time not at least giving the two of them a tacit endorsement.

The key for me is shaving the neck/under the chin, that keeps the scratchy from being irritating.

And stroking your beard really is quite an addictive feeling.

In HP's case, money meant staying in business instead of going out of business.

In most cases, money means staying in business instead of going out of business.

The number one job improvement we could do would be to make it easier to hire locally than to hire overseas. Most companies would happily pay more if it didn't mean all of the regulations and requirements that go with hiring locally. There are, after all, benefits to hiring locally. But more and more those benefits are overweighted against ridiculous regulations, fees, taxes, paperwork, and thresholds that bring on even more regulations, fees, taxes, and paperwork.

296 When I was in high school, on some Saturday nights, I would go coon huntin' with the old man down the street with the most useless coon hounds in the state. He always kept an old Chevy pickup made from 1950-1953 to coon hunt in. He traded one old truck for another for reasons I never completely understood. Anyway, he had the snuff habit and in warm weather he would spit out the truck window, and in cold weather he spat in the floorboard. And in mild nights he would often spit on the rolled up window. I always remember the rancid wintergreen smell of that old truck(s).

Worked in an office once where one of the women was a serious barfly, yet still relatively attractive in her early 40s. Used to party all night, then come in to the office, unwashed. Curled your nose hair, she did. Some wag made the comment that they were afraid of pill bugs falling out of her hair.

Few minutes later he's at the back door indicating he wants to come in. I open the door, he dashes past me and before I can say "Boo!" he runs upstairs and jumps on the bed with Missus Muldoon.

Well, about three seconds after he blew by me, along comes the delayed, but very potent smell of skunk.

Yep, he got sprayed, ran right in and jumped in the bed. The good news is I took him into the shower with a mix of peroxide, baking soda and dish soap took the smell right out.

Getting the smell out of the bedclothes was a little more difficult.

Oh, by the way, Buckley is my brother-in-law.

319 A Jan. 30 Fort Worth police report has surfaced cataloging a night filled with violence and threats.

According to police, Manziel and his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley went out for a night of bar hopping around the Dallas area. After their group of friends disbursed, Manziel and Crowley were left alone at Zaza Hotel in Dallas.

In the report, Crowley says Manziel seemed like he was on some sort of drugs, but insisted that he was not intoxicated. The report states Manziel struck Crowley several times in the hotel before he said he would drive her home because she was intoxicated.

Police said Manziel and Crowley got into his car and started driving towards her apartment in Fort Worth, where Crowley resides. During the drive home, the report says Manziel's erratic behavior continued, including more violence and shouting directed towards Crowley.

Once they returned to Crowley's apartment, according to reports, Crowley said she was running in and out of her apartment in an attempt to get away from Manziel. According to reports, this is when Manziel fled on foot in an unknown direction.

361 "Ugh, the smell of skunk spray up close is so much worse that what wafts off of roadkill."

There are some jobs that only fall to the man in the house.

We had some little varmints sneaking into the attached garage one winter, so I set out a couple of rat traps. One managed to catch but not quickly kill a small skunk.

Another time we had a deer get hit by a car and find its way up to the side of the house before it died. We didn't notice for a couple of days.

Clean up ....

It's dominance behavior. She is declaring higher status over others in the pack. We had that with our dogs when the older dogs were bullied by the younger ones. You can't really stop it except to keep them separated.

It was tending toward Mountain Man, but then I found the closer attachment for the razor, so now it's neater.

For my winter beard a couple of years ago No. 2 Son said I looked like a murderer. I didn't know how to take it until he said "like Mr. French in the Departed", which is OK with me.

In any case it comes in pretty full, mottled with gray and ginger, and not just a straggly wispy mess of face hair like that child BC.

An old friend of mine was house-sitting for my parents and walked the idiot dog they had at the time. The dog was a nasty little bastard* and figured he could take the skunk in the backyard.

He was wrong.

My friend said that the smell was so bad and intense that it bore no relation to the smell we associate with skunk.

*My mom wouldn't let me shoot it when it bit me. I'm still pissed about that...30+ years later.

388 The premise of Obama's mosque speech yesterday is that there is a rash of bullying of Muslim children and attacks on mosques, which he needed to condemn. Also, Trump's rhetoric is insulting to Muslim Americans. It was delivered in his typical manner of scolding all us bitter clingers who don't see the light on this the way that he does.

Now I don't condone bullying, but I'm not aware that anti-Muslim incidents are on the rise. Remember Clock Boy, and how that turned out?

So Obama delivers this speech in a mosque that has had ties to terrorism. And repeats inanities like "Islam has always been part of America" because Thomas Jefferson once owned a copy of the Koran, Islam comes from the word "peace" when it actually means "subjugation" in Arabic, and Islam has brought over 1,000 years of peace to the World.

All this while groups like ISIS and Al-Queda are claiming to be the one true Islamic faith by going back to its fundamentalist precepts, which sanctions and even demands the rape and pillage and murder of non-believers. This is rich from a guy who hasn't lifted a finger to help the Christians and others who have been slaughtered by these groups, and whose policies have inflamed the Middle East.

The Oval Office door can't hit his ass soon enough on the way out.

398 Imagine going back in time to a great amount in American history, like the signing of the Declaration of Independence. After the initial awe you would feel at seeing the Founders in the flesh, you would - probably feel a bit sick, since all of those fine men stank to high heaven,, especially on a hot July day.

But if everyone is dirty and smells, nobody does.

Vodka & clamato isn't too difficult:

3) add clamato & ice cubes.

Mr. Bubbles makes me think of a thick foam that came out of a can that was fun in the fun when i was little. I think it was called silly soap - you could make crowns and animals out of the stuff. It probably had carcinogens in it or something and was deemed by the government to be as dangerous as jarts. I haven't seen it on the market since I was a kid.

413 I wouldn't dare to presume to give enough advice about financial matters, so don't pay any attention to what I say. That said, I'm feeling a disturbance in the force. Things are likely to shit the bed again.

Go to ZH: T. Boone Pickens has cashed out his oil holdings. And he did that while touting that oil has hit bottom and will double by the end of year. He said the same thing last year.

But his money is going the opposite way of his mouth. He headed for the exits.

That's the key. When there's a fire in the proverbial crowded theater (imagine the tinder boxes of old, which is where the metaphor comes from) and you're the first to notice, you don't shout "Fire!". No, you quietly head for the exits, to get out before the stampede.

If you get caught in the stampede, you'll either be trampled to death or burned to death. Either way, you're dead, Jim. The smart money sneaks out while telling the dumb masses everything is okay.
