Saturday Overnight Open Thread (2/16/19) Bachelor & Bachelorette Party Night

funny_memes_10.jpg


***


The Saturday Night Joke

A group of women were at a seminar on how to live in a loving relationship with their husbands. The women were asked,

"How many of you love your husband?" All the women raised their hands. Then they were asked, "When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?" Some women answered today, a few yesterday, and some couldn't remember.
The women were then told to take out their cellphones and text their husband: "I love you, sweetheart."
Next the women were instructed to exchange phones with another woman and read aloud the text message they received in response to their message.

Below are 12 actual hilarious replies.


If you have been married for quite a while, you understand that these replies are a sign of true love. Who else would reply in such a succinct and honest way?

1. Who the hell is this?

2. Eh, mother of my children, are you sick or what?


3 Yeah, and I love you too. What's wrong?

4. What now? Did you wreck the car again?

5. I don't understand what you mean?

6. What the hell did you do now?

7. Are you sure this is for me?

8. Don't beat about the bush, just tell me how much you need?

9. Am I dreaming?

10. If you don't tell me who this message is actually for, someone will die.

11. I thought we agreed you wouldn't drink during the day.

12. Your mother is coming to stay with us, isn't she?

The Moron Horde is a remarkable community. Gray box friends, MoMes and now a wedding. Congrats to Shibumi and Bozo Conservative on their upcoming nuptials.

Here is the story in Shibumi's words:

Shibumi here, from a different address with her actual meat space identity.

As you both may or may not know, I'm engaged to a fellow moron; we decided to meet one afternoon after I just put out a "hey, anyone near SE Mi want to have lunch?" call on a random ONT in September.

Well, I met up with Bozo Conservative and eventually, after much work on his part, we hit it off. We got engaged in late May and are tentatively planning the wedding the last Friday in February.

I'm located north of Detroit and he's a bit north of Columbus; there is no way in hell that we would have ever met if it wasn't for the HQ, my reckless feeling of possible isolation since my job was ending and his tenacity.


Thanks for everything, and thank all of you for providing the platform where I met my future husband.

Take care,

shibumi

The ONT Musical Interlude

Per shibumi, "Our official song is this:"


The wedding processional song, suggested by the bride to be.


Wedding music and the outfits to be worn by Shibumi and Bozo Conservative


***


We know shibumi would never do this.......


***


Quite the friends the lucky groom to be has.........

Good luck on your wedding!

23 That photo of B.J.'s bar reminds me of one I used to see. Can't remember if it was on the way to Muskegon or transiting west to get to Meinert Park on the Lake Michigan shoreline.

The name of the bar was The Stable and its tagline was "Come on in and get stabilized".

Now, a caveat. The email I wrote Mis Hum about our the time Bozo Conservative and I met up online.... kind of inaccurate. I said what I thought happened, and he said what he thought happened. Well, I went back to the ONT in question in September of 2017 and BAM!

I was wrong. I will now let him tell the story.

51 Question for the Horde tonight, by ME qdpsteve, *not* that other site that begins with a Q.

Anyone ever have a dream about a long-lost love that you *thought* you were over?

I admit I dreamt of someone last night I thought I was finally more or less over about. I guess I'm not as "over" her as I thought.

(At least the story made a bit of sense: I found out that while on a vacation at a cheap hotel, I was across the street from where this woman was having her church wedding, and *thousands* of people were there, having a great time.)

Posted by: shibumi

We had been commenting and lightly flirting since about June of 2017 on the ONT and elsewhere on Ace 'o Spades.

I think sometime in September (Labor Day Weekend) I had made a remark about us meeting for lunch somewhere "in between" our respective homes. We picked Toledo.

Lucky Toledo ! (eyeroll)

In the meantime, one of Shibumi's pat time jobs was coming to an end, and she was worried about being bored just working at home doing free lance writing. One of her friends advised her to open herself up to "new experiences".


So we decided to meet for lunch at the famous Tony Packo's restaurant in Toledo, and we did so on Sept 16 ( a Saturday). We had lunch ( it was actually kind of bad) and sat and talked for hours, until the lunch crowd became the dinner crowd and they kind of chased us out of there.

Then we continued gabbing in the parking lot ( it was a warm afternoon)

And then.......

This really is our party. We're both "INTJs" so really, go out in public, get drunk and behave badly?

We went to Meijer [local grocery store] and bought chocolate silk pie.

Right now, I am working on putting new vinyl tile on the kitchen floor.

And yes, Shirley Bassey. I like this version better than the one from P!NK.

Posted by: ALH


Well, we were going to rent out that S & M dungeon in Philly, but instead we are going to stay in a mountain cabin somewhere outside of Sedona, Arizona.

And we are getting married on Friday night, Feb 22.

No one is giving away the bride. Neither of us has surviving parents, they are all long passed away.

Shibumi's uncle thought he might be asked, and was mightily relieved when Shibumi said no, he wasn't going to have to do it.
He's a great old guy, but actually kind of shy of this kind of thing.

185 I had a friend that lived with two of his sisters. One was getting married and they had the bachelorette party at the house. I was there that night shooting pool with my friend in his garage. Some of the girls would come out to the garage to smoke or whatever and they told us what was going on. I remember two of the girls performed oral sex on the stripper and another went into the bathroom with him while he was changing between acts. My friend looked at me at one point and said "I've lost all respect for women."

We met Eris, and Hogmartin, Alton Jackson, Jinx the Cat, Naughty Pine, and some others at a couple of MiMoMe's and it was tons of fun. All of them are just great folks.
Hogmartin is really funny, but in meatspace he is really softspoken, so you have to listen closely to hear so of his crazy stuff.
Alton Jackson is one funny and friendly guy.
Met Jinx the Cat (sorry about you losing your cat, my friend) and he is also another really great guy.

Eris is funny, but actually a little shyer than I expected her to be. Really nice lady, and I mean that. Quite a sharp dresser.

We all had fun together at the last meet up in Hamtramck (suburb of Detroit) where we saw the infamous Rapey Dolphin statue, and much, much more.

205 Ok, Corny wedding joke here...

Two brooms were hanging in the closet and after a while they got to know each other so well, they decided to get married.

One broom was, of course, the bride broom, the other the groom broom.

The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely.

After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride broom leaned over and said to the groom broom, "I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!"

"IMPOSSIBLE" said the groom broom. "We haven't even SWEPT together!"

Also, I'm guessing she puts out on the first date. Or second? That is usually a tell. Not always, but........ Did she not think that this was being recorded? Everybody has a smart phone these days. Anyway, the dude dodged a bullet.

238 I had a friend that lived with two of his sisters. One was getting married and they had the bachelorette party at the house. I was there that night shooting pool with my friend in his garage. Some of the girls would come out to the garage to smoke or whatever and they told us what was going on. I remember two of the girls performed oral sex on the stripper and another went into the bathroom with him while he was changing between acts. My friend looked at me at one point and said "I've lost all respect for women."


Posted by: Mark1971 at February 16, 2019 10:07 PM (xPl2J)

I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned the bachelorette video, so I'll just say this:

It's a real video, and it's raunchy as hell. That stripper put it to her good, and she loved every minute of it. She even gets a facial at the end.

This really happened:

Earlier this year, I met Bozo Conservatives middle sister and her husband. We all met in Toledo, where BC and I have spent our fair share of time. Well, as we we heading down "Alexis Road" we passed this horrible seedy motel. I turned to his sister and said "See that motel? Your brother has tried to take me there a ton of times. They rent by the hour, and he wants to get the room that someone was murdered in that costs 25 cents an hour, because the 35 cent an hour rooms are just too expensive."

Which totally explains how he was able to get me, a confirmed bacheorette, to agree to marry him. He's. Got. INTJ. Game.

329 A guy out on the golf course takes a high speed ball right in the crotch. Writhing in agony, he falls to the ground. As soon as he could manage, he took himself to the doctor.

He said "How bad is it doc?.....I'm going on my honeymoon next week and my fiancée is still a virgin in every way."

The doctor told him, "I'll have to put your willie in a splint to let it heal and keep it straight. It should be okay next week."

He took four tongue depressors and formed a neat little 4 sided splint, and wired it all together; ...an impressive work of art.

The guy mentions none of this to his girl, marries her, and goes on their honeymoon. That night in the motel room, she rips open her blouse to reveal her beautiful breasts. This was the first time he had seen them.

She said, "You're the first; no one has EVER touched these breasts." He immediately drops his pants and replies,......"Look at this, .....it's still in the CRATE!"

BC's middle sister: Yes, he is.

Shibumi: He thought his cat had a doppleganger.


/and yes, the cat doppleganger story is true. On my first day in Columbus, he saw a cat that looked just like his big yellow cat in the yard. When we went to investigate, the big yellow cat was inside on the windowsill. Obviously a doppleganger. Except... I discovered that Big Yellow made a cat door out of the screen.

That's the funny part. I was thinking about doing it. And I thought did.

Until Bozo Conservative had a completely different version of what happened.

I got into a conversation on the ONT about what I would do I wanted to meet someone and the next thing you know, he invited me to lunch. Basically pounced on me a like a rapid honey badger in a sheep sut.


But it's OK, because after our first lunch I said nothing would ever come of it.

Once you buy into Grievance Culture, where is there to go?

You can't live a productive life, because the philosophy you've bought into says that's impossible for you. All you've got is more grievance, anger, and anxiety.

364 I just read a few issues of Space Dandy, another manga.
Pretty funny and light. Space Dandy captains his own ship, and he finds aliens to register for cash. He spends the cash in a restaurant called "Boobies". Because "Hooters" and "Twin Peaks" were both too subtle.

Dandy's Japanese Fonz bouffant is worth the time, alone.

369 I think the over the top Trump hate and derangement we see on a daily basis by the media and the left is less about getting rid of Trump (although they;ll take that) than it is about protecting the sanctity and purity and legacy of the Obama presidency. They know it was train wreck of epic proportion and corrupt beyond anything this country has seen, but they have a lot invested in the myth of "No Drama Obama", the cool intellectual , the "historic first" black president who "saved the economy from a Depression" and presided over --"scandal- free"--a time of racial tranquility to turn back now......

390 Congratulations to the Moron Couple, long may they wave! (Anybody keeping the MC count?) Do we have a Blog Yenta? We shanghaied FenelonSpoke into the Blog Chaplain position, I don't know why we can't do the same again.

To amuse the Moronitude on this happy occasion, I will tell a tale of a bridal shower gone horribly wrong. Because I was asked to organize it. This was my roommate's wedding, held when we graduated from college. I was the maid of honor. Apparently this means you are automatically the bridal shower honcho, at least by formal East Coast rules.The bride and I, unfortunately, hailed from the decidedly less formal West Coast. We knew nothing.

We were also physics majors. We weren't the *only* women in the physics department, but close. Says the future mother-in-law, "Invite all her friends!" she says.

All of her friends, and mine, were male.

I invited them.

Please take a moment of silence to imagine the polite rictus smiles on a bevy of very proper ladies, all primed for some (slightly) naughty fun and lingerie analysis, faced with a sea of testosterone. Including a male professor. All of the guys had a lot of fun, because they'd never been invited to a bridal shower before! For some reason.

It was a few days when I was informed the diversity I had created was *koff* not traditional.

P.S. the happy couple in question are still married. Possibly because of the trauma.

Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar at February 16, 2019 10:25 PM


You are correct.

The Texas Rangers are neither trifling or to be trifled with. A town had a large riot occurring, and the town government telegraphed for Ranger assistance. The reply stated it would be arriving on the next train.

The town council greeted the Ranger who stepped off the train with relief, and then asked where the other Rangers were, as the riot was even worse. The Ranger informed them he was the only one.

Met with shock and disbelief, he informed them of Ranger policy: One riot, one Ranger.

A MoMe, however, requires two.

special glass bottles? Okay, good.


The expiration date on those glass bottles is there for a reason: after that date, they start getting kinda soft and rubbery. And if they ever leak through, the bill you'll get from the EPA for the cleanup will make your eyes water.

Well, there was the obstacle of "Ohio," Michgan's unattractive cousin.

Then there was his bizarre, yet extremely expansive knowledge of Ohio politics, starting in 1756. Want to know a congressional rep from Ohio in any radom year? Name a year. Any year. He'll know.

And don't forget the really REALLY off putting and weird fascination with the band "Little Feat."


That being said, we did have a nice conversation about steel toe boots, and well, once I hired in on an a content provider for my imaginary company, SharonCo LLC, a Deleware incorporate company, things started to look up. Also, he has really nice tools. Power tools. Lots of them.

Defeat the Saturday night joke, tell each other you love one another everyday.

Most of the weddings I've been to recently have been Amish, they have the "English" (non Amish, English speaking rather than a German derivative), anyways, at that point they are having male elders of the church what it means to be a good husband, father, and member of the church. A lot of wisdom.

Anyways, congratulations and best of luck!

But you know what's really sad? He won't let me transfer the carriage automation budget into the pyrotechnics budget. And has been totally unresponsive in terms of our supplemental laser package.

Rock, but not like anything familiar, IMO. For what it's worth, Jimmy Page once said they were his favorite band. They've been on a bunch of albums as studio musicians and individually, they've sat in with a ton of artists you'd know. Got their start with Zappa, sort of.

F'rinstance, I saw their conga player with Jimmy Buffett live.

She is into catolescense, size-wise. Besides "Ace", we sometimes refer to her as "The Princess", as apparently this is her realm, and we are the courtiers/servants.

She is quite dog-like personality-wise, lining up to be fed with our dogs, get treats, get something off our plate, wanting pets, etc. A very cool cat. She has an extensive vocabulary of vocalizations; and you know what she is thinking. Very sweet, very affectionate. We are blessed having her.

Lead them into all peace. Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts, a mantle about their shoulders and a crown upon their heads.

Well first off I didn't even know you existed until about 2 nights ago.

Plus I guess what I'm saying is that unless you're within a certain radius of me or anybody else, being interested or not may be irrelevant.

546 We praise you, Lord, for your gentle plan that draws together your children ______ and _____
(because I'm guessing Shibumi and Bozo Conservative are not your real names. ), in their love for each other. Strengthen their hearts so that they may keep faith with each other and, please you in all things and so on the 22nd come to the happiness of celebrating their marriage. Defend the from every enemy. Lead them into all peace. Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts, a mantle about their shoulders and a crown upon their heads. Bless them in their work and in their companionship; in their sleeping and in their waking and in all their lives together through Jesus Christ, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns-one God , for ever and ever. Amen

Gotta say that I am not hopeful of the accuracy of this site when it says that INFJ-Ts "tend to believe that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants."

Um... no. I would rather see the hearts of tyrants ripped out and put on a stake.

Oh and congratulations to the happy couple and fellow SE Michigan people!

570 I love cabbage.

It's very useful as a "reactive" target on the rifle range, and being biodegradable, a perfect clean-up of the target zone isn't crucial.

Though next week, it'll smell like you shot the farts outta someone out at the 100 yd. target frames.

Yeah, this was a song written by Lowell George all those years ago. Lowell died back in 1979? Probably from drug OD. He was mixing cocaine and heroin. Died of a heart attack.
Frank Zappa kind of kicked him out of the Mothers because of Lowell and his heroin use. Frank didn't stand for drug usage, although Frank did like to drink.

My biggest issue with the myers briggs test is that every time I've taken the full test, I've come out with different results.

Some of the questions are just so... subjective and dependent on my mood. Like "I enjoy social gatherings" type questions -- well it depends.

If I'm hanging out with my buddies drinking beer and bullshitting, yeah definitely.

But sometimes my latest social gathering was work related, which I enjoy much less... and so that kind of changes my answer to questions like that.

I don't know, could just be me.

Another true story: in late November, I had lady part surgery. The surgeon, a nice young Jewish man, actually said "No anal after surgery."

After I came out of surgery, Bozo Conservative was waiting for me in the hospital room. I gazed over at him and said, "When the doctor met you did he say 'so you're the one who won't be having anal with Shibumi?'"

We *need* to all have the complete list of every company that advertises here on AoS, with requisite contact info to the correct person or department within said companies.

And then ALL OF US, deluge them with letters ... well written, thoughtful, carefully reasoned letters of SUPPORT for Ace himself, and this site.

Include also, the testimonials of people helped, couples met, MoMeets attended, and the absence of Official Police Reports in relation to said MoMeets.

Cover those advertisers with ACE POSITIVITY and SUPPORT.

Yank the rug right out from under the SJW types, and give Ace some PROVEABLE support, when he needs it most.

Oh yeah, lest I forget.

Buy shit from those advertisers, and in the "comments" or reviews, write in "I bought BECAUSE of your ad on Ace of Spades!"

This is how you send the SJW's running away crying.

Cubbies or Pale Hose?

Posted by: Basement Cat at February 16, 2019 11:24 PM

Grew up on South Side of Chicago with biggest influence my uncle, who was huge White Sox fan and took me to games and taught me how to play baseball. When my dad re-married, my new grandma was a DIE-HARD Cubbies fan. I have nothing but fond memories of going to visit her and Grandpa and watching and falling in love with the Cubbies and Harry Carey and eventually wanting to be Ryne Sandberg. Played 2B all through Little League and always wore #23.

So, I have divided loyalties. I root for both, but lean Cubbies. Since I live in Detroit Tigers country, I tend to allow my White Sox fandom come out more just to piss off my Tigers fan friends. heh

Do you come out with completely different results, or are they slightly different? For example, I can test T or J, but I always test a strong J.

If you test wildlly different, it might be useful for you to find a longer one. Or it just might mean that you straddle the line on a lot of qualities.
And yes, it does depend on your mood at the time.

I've taken shorter ones for various jobs, and one in undergrad.

The only thing that has always been consistent is that I come out as an introvert.

Which is ...probably true... but I don't think anyone in my life would described me as introverted. Even though I probably would -- only because I'd rather be alone a lot of the time then surrounded by people, but I find that I'm almost always surrounded by people.

I have been here about that long as well. In fact, I was ostracized by the old ONT group that used to hang out here, 'round 2009-2010 or so, when I used to spend a lot of time commenting here when I was going through unemployment.

Thankfully my ostracization coincided with new employment (which I still have today), so it was easy for me to stay away. Though it was a bit hurtful to go lurking once in a while after that and see commentors still mocking me.

Now I just mostly lurk and check comments on posts only every so often. And use a different nic if I ever am spurred to share my inane opinion.

I think that's probably my thing.

I go out with friends several times a week, have a lot of friends / acquaintances, worked in sales, am pretty personable overall, so I think most people would think I'm an extrovert.

I just find it kind of exhausting a lot of the time.

I'm much more comfortable and content being alone a fair amount of the time. Not always, of course, but I have no problem hanging out by myself for a weekend with no social interactions.

One reason I was glad when the AL and NL formed three divisions out of the original two is that the Pirates were moved from the NL East into the NL Central and I could focus my baseball hate on the Barves (plural of Barf). Best bud from college lives in The Burgh and I've always had a soft spot for the Buccos.

779 and the inside jokes have, for the most part, morphed a lot in the last decade or so.

Like most of the memey jokes are pretty recent.

I don't even remember any of the old inside jokes, but I do know that many have disappeared.

Also, the blog got much more grown up -- back in 2008 or whenever it was I first started posting regularly, it was a lot more juvenile / mean humor.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at February 16, 2019 11:44 PM

Huh, funny you should say that. This is what the site I am reading says:

"Advocates find it easy to make connections with others, and have a talent for warm, sensitive language, speaking in human terms, rather than with pure logic and fact. It makes sense that their friends and colleagues will come to think of them as quiet Extraverted types, but they would all do well to remember that Advocates need time alone to decompress and recharge, and to not become too alarmed when they suddenly withdraw. Advocates take great care of other's feelings, and they expect the favor to be returned - sometimes that means giving them the space they need for a few days."

Posted by: Ladyl at February 16, 2019 11:56 PM (TdMsT)


I can't, because I don't know.

Advertisements are being pulled. I think (but don't know) that individual advertisers don't advertise on individual sites. They contract with advertisement syndication networks that have a portfolio of clients, they pay sites to put a little ad insertion code block on the site, and they run whatever ads they choose based on what sells, what the advertisers pay, etc.

So if someone's calling for ads to be removed, do they spam the individual advertisers? Maybe. Their contract might be flexible enough that they can choose not to have their ads run on a site. Do they spam the syndication networks? Maybe. They control all the ads shown in the code block.

They probably DON'T contact the site directly. It wouldn't make any sense. So if you wanted to trace a spam campaign back to the source, you need a starting point, and you need the complaint messages to get there.

Very interesting.

I am an introvert (INFJ) but I have moved over on the side towards extroversion after being in the church for so long. People are sometimes surprised by that, but it's that I can function as an extrovert but after a day of talking to people or teaching some study before church,.leading services, and preaching and then talking to people after church I am exhausted and need time to recharge by myself.... which is why I need to go to bed, so that I can function as an extrovert tomorrow, or rather later today.

I think the deal with me is that if it's an intermediate gathering with people I sorta know, but not all that well, then I feel like I've gotta prove myself to them.

Old friends know me, so that's cool. Some gigantic thing like a concert, who gives a shit what these people think? I'll never see them again. But when it's people you sorta know, you're worried about what they're gonna think.

843 I can be very sociable and pseudo-funny when I am comfortable with the people I am with. I clam up when I don't really know folks. BUT, after spending time being sociable, I'm freaking beat, and really need to be alone.
Mrs. DIG, on the other hand, is an ESFP. She *needs* to go out and be sociable. Fortunately, we each understand how we tick, so thinkg are good.

Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at February 16, 2019 11:47 PM

Yep, this is me. I can be sociable with people I know in an environment I know. But even after that, I am spent and need to relax and be alone.

Which is why I have realized over the past few years that there's a 99% likelihood of no Mrs. Shelton for me. After living by myself for the past 20 years since college, I think I am just so used to it by now and accustomed to my alone time, that I couldn't live with anyone anymore. I would resent not having time to be alone.

846 Or "Weakly Stunted" funded anti-Ace spambots complaining about AoS content to the ad amalgamater? Easy to get thousands of complaints that way!
Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar at February 17, 2019 12:07 AM (f3oO4)


Both possible and likely, but if the bot complaints were sent to the ad syndication network(s), that's still not much to go on. If you had the emails with the full headers, you could trace them back to the originating servers (each server along the route puts its own little fingerprint on the header with who it is, and where it got the message from; it can be spoofed but a good fake is difficult and more than one in is nearly impossible and the final server in the chain never lies). But can Ace ask the syndication networks to forward the complaint mails on to him? I don't know. I doubt it. The monetization side of this stuff is kind of alien to me. I only do the dumb nerd part.

I think the deal with me is that if it's an intermediate gathering with people I sorta know, but not all that well, then I feel like I've gotta prove myself to them.

Old friends know me, so that's cool. Some gigantic thing like a concert, who gives a shit what these people think? I'll never see them again. But when it's people you sorta know, you're worried about what they're gonna think.

Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at February 17, 2019 12:07 AM (0OWcv)

I feel you.

Strangely, I find myself not super concerned with what people think of me.

Mildly concerned at best.

I mean I care enough to like practice basic hygiene and dress appropriately, but not enough to get stressed out if someone doesn't like me.

It's just... tiring having to do all of the social niceties and try to remember names, and stay engaged in conversations, and ... you know, the whole socializing thing. Even with good friends -- half the time they're over my house, and we're hanging out (or whatever), I'm secretly hoping they leave soon.

My best friend is the complete opposite. He needs to be around other people all the time. And he really cares (way too much in my opinion) about what people think of him.

My friend Sue, who was a bit.. IDK, easy, was having dinner one day in catering. Sue was kind of cute, very girl next door looking. She was running a spotlight that night for the KISS show. Well, Gene and Shannon came over and ate dinner with her.


It ended with an offer to go back to the dressing room and have sex with them.

She declined, since she had to go to work.

Nice list!

My favorite artist is Aerosmith. I listen to classic rock station all the time. Best thing about Classic Rock is it doesn't change.

Side story... girl who cuts my hair is in her mid-twenties I think. She was talking this past time about music that grates on her. She said her husband likes Classic Rock and to her, it sounds like nails on chalkboard. I told her I liked Classic Rock too, but my grating music was rap and hiphop. She said she had no problem with hiphop. I think I need to ask her next time if she likes Aerosmith. If she says no, I may need to look for a new barber (just kidding... mostly).

I had a 730 verbal SAT back when that meant something - just like Asia Carrera!! - so I've always been able to bullshit through a psych test. Especially a written / online one.

I did that just a year ago, for a job opportunity. And then I wrote back telling them that I deliberately manipulated their test. Because they're unethical and ineffective, and they should know that. By which I mean : the test itself is unethical and ineffective, and so are employers who use them.

882 Robert's Adventures in Trucking: Day One

Still alive.

Day started ignominiously. Was putting things away in my truck and carrying two full gallons of water and my boots in a laundry bag in one hand and a case of bottled water in the other. Was trying to adjust the water bottles and managed to drop the laundry bag. That and my boots got soaked. Jugs were cracked down the side rendering them useless for pissing in.

Truck was sucking fumes. Stopped at closest Flying J for fuel. My manager forgot to activate my company fuel card. Whoops.

GPS sent me down the wrong street in Laredo. Should have stayed to the left instead of going straight. Robert doesn't recommend driving an 18-wheeler thru residential streets.

Rest of the day has been uneventful. Stopped short of the Louisiana state line. Took hot shower. Ate. Farted. Scratched balls mightily. Sleep beckons. I slip into the void.

Any audio from that clip, was from the chase bike, and not the 'wing being filmed. And I have no idea what the chase bike pilot was riding.

But yeah, a 'Wing can do that, with a few mild tweaks:

* replace front fork springs with Performance Suspension units.

* replace garbage factory fork oil with quality synthetic.

* replace rear shock assembly with Progressive Suspension package.

* install a Tulsa Superbrace on the front fork sliders.

* have your tech carefully set headstock and swingarm bearing play to "zero", but not so tight as to bind.


The above steps WILL remove the "hinge in the middle" feel on a 'Wing when you press it hard through the twisties.

Bonus. Works on most other large, heavy bikes, too.


@ Winger.

I'm in the same range in the verbal skills results.

And made mincemeat of the PF-16 pre-employment screening back in the late '80s. I ended up proving to the company's contract shrink, that I could yield any dimension of profile I chose, just by shading my answers to the questions.

When the questions are so ineptly constructed so as to self-reveal "the hidden secret you're trying to hide, prole!"....it's easy to feed 'em any answer you want, to push the sliding scale towards either end of the number line.

And these are the same geniuses that write political polling questions, too. Go figure.

Posted by: Cosmic Charlie at February 17, 2019 12:33 AM

Saw them 3 times in my college and right-after-college days. Awesome every.single.time.

First time, I think, was outdoor venue in Chicago area with my first college gf. Second time was an outdoor venue in SE Wisconsin area with my last college gf. Can't remember the third time.

I was single at the time and took my mom and brothers as a gift and aunt and uncle and some cousins went as well. First time I saw my uncle drunk. He was a a VERY happy drunk. Told me the story of how he was RIGHT up by the stage and felt Steven Tyler's sweat on him! And the rest of the time he was either telling me he loved me or asking me how great a f---ing time I was having. I got to see his '70s wild child that night!

917 Extroverts draw energy from the people around them, that's why they hate being alone.

Introverts have their energy sucked out of them by others around them, that's why they prefer lots of alone time.

Extroverts think introverts are unfriendly.

Introverts see Extroverts as emotional vampires.

Posted by: Cosmic Charlie


Shibumi loves Aerosmith

Hates Las Vegas.

It's an INTJ thing.

Yeah, because of her writing thing, she can usually score free tickets to shows.

We saw Roger Daltrey (and the Who, minus Pete Townsend) this summer with Detroit Symphony Orchestra doing all of "Tommy"....for free.

Also saw David Byrne and his band at the Fox Theater in Detroit last August, which is an incredible place, for free too. She wrote an article about the Show last March, and the people that did the production liked it so much, they invited her to the show, and we got to roam around back stage with the production guys. It was cool.

920 Aerosmith is a band that always delivers an excellent live show. Plus Joe Perry is conservative.

The Who is going on tour this summer, it's their fairwell outing. I highly recommond them. They're great live as well, I've seen them about a half dozen times.

Posted by: shibumi, who is filled with pie, maybe it's a metaphor? at February 17, 2019 12:37 AM

Yes, Aerosmith absolutely rocks.

Bob Seger is a Detroit rocker (obviously) and I've been told he gives a great show.

And I've heard the same about Kid Rock. I got tickets to a concert of his a couple years ago at DTE, but ended up not being able to go. Still want to see him in concert one of these days.

926 I need advice.
My daughter has 2 children, ages 9 and 6. She divorced her cheating husband 4 years ago. She shares custody of her children 3 days / 4 days per week. Since her divorcn, she's had at least 3 "loves of her life". The person she is seeing now is number 3 in the last 12 months.

I told her I was tired of the drama and wanted her to wait until she's dated this guy for at least a year before dragging me into it.

My husband found the new guy's car in her drive early one morning when the kids were there. He texted her with his disapproval of bringing this guy into the home when her children were present. It was a text message nightmare.

Since then she's been cool to us. I'm thinking we should invite our daughter and her new boy over to our house to straighten things out.

935 I'd really like to thank everyone here for all the good wishes.

This is a rockin' gang, and this has been nothing but fun.

Shibumi and I were sitting about 6 feet apart, commenting on our respective computers, and laughing all the way about some of the comments, and who would answer what questions.

Needless to say, without Ace of Spades existing, we would never have met.

Thank you, thank you all very much. We are signing off now, and about to crash, because this has been kind of a long day, with all the...well, what we did this morning, and some other stuff.

I was cleaning her carpet this afternoon. And no, that is not a euphemism for something else. I was cleaning the carpet in her family room, because the house has a weird smokey smell from closing the flue on a smoldering log a few weeks ago.

Thanks again for all the good wishes, and

WE WILL BE BACK!!

Don't know if we will live blog the reception on Friday, but we will be married by this time next week, and have lots of funny stuff to comment on the next Saturday Night ONT. I expect there will be significant hilarity next Friday night after the wedding.

Stay tuned! Same Fire Time, Same Fire Channel!

Until we meet again.

I dunno, not sure that's such a hot idea. They aren't gonna think there's anything to straighten out. You expressed your displeasure and she disapproves. Not much else you can do.

That doesn't mean I disagree with what hubby did. I'd have done the same and probably been much more blunt about it.

She really shouldn't be dating at all. Just focusing on the kids. But some people just never learn.

Send to Uncle Palp, a series of photographs of said crop, with at least one of them being a pic of said crop laid alongside an old fashioned wooden yardstick.

He will quote you a price, and you should take it.

The result will be a brand new edition of your vintage crop, identical but for age and patina.

Bonus.

You get to be doing business with Uncle Palp.

Little boys in my experience tend to run skinny, but if you are that concerned, you need to ask him directly why he isn't eating. Are you close enough to your ex son in law to ask if he is eating over there?

My first thought would just be that kids can be like that. You grow in to your body, it's very possible that he's not hungry, naturally skinny, and I'm not a huge fan of force feeding kids (or anyone). Your body knows when its hungry and when it's not. You don't want to teach a kid to have an unhealthy relationship with food.

But on the other hand, if you truly think there is actually abuse or serious neglect... well... I don't know what to tell you -- that's horrific. I think you'd want to talk to a lawyer before calling CPS or anything if that's where your head is at...

But that will FOREVER destroy your relationship with your daughter, so I'd want to be very frickin sure about any allegations before I did that.

989 DBCooper, if you're still here - did you fly CA fire-fighting service way back when they were still using WWII surplus aircraft?


In the mid-70s a friend with his license flew to Ramona (just during lunch in high school, actually). I recall there were 3 WWII "medium bombers" there - i.e. 2-engine planes. One was obviously the active one, the others were being cannibalized for parts. Weeds were growing up into the well of the gear on one.


Just curious. An irreplaceable amount of treasure was chewed up and thrown away in the 50s/60s/70s in the form of war-birds used for fire-fighting.

Well, I'm young and don't have any kids or grandchildren, so our perspectives are definitely different.

But I just feel like that is a bell that can't be unrung -- I'd want to be VERY sure that there was no other option before I did something as drastic as get the court system involved in my grandchildren's life. That's all.

Thats funny. I never understood glam. When I first started gigging iron maiden had just released the Killers album. A lot of metal bands were basic jeans and some black frigging t shirt, or maybe black t shirt and some trashed denim jacket. Kind of like maiden. It was fairly soon that I started seeing a band here and there where the singer was wearing furry boots, or the weird rags tied around some part of their body, etc. That was just frigging weird.

Good. It sounds like you're thinking rationally about this.

If thinks do get worse, or you feel that any kind of serious neglect or abuse is going on, I would definitely advise you to call a lawyer before going to CPS.

A lawyer can file paperwork with the court asking for *you* to be granted emergency custody, and in the states I'm familiar with, that means the action is brought by you, NOT the state. You'll have much more control over the process then if you turn it over to CPS and their lawyers.

But again, a lawyer in your area would know the law and how it all works where you live and would be the best plan of action if, God forbid, it comes to that.

1009 Could someone clue me in on why people prepare comments in Word? You can't take any of the formatting with you, and it'll mangle the smart quotes, but there clearly has to be a compelling reason to do it because people do all the time, often enough that it trips up the comments occasionally. What does it get you that typing into the comment box doesn't?

I am going to be very blunt here; if your daughter is too busy, er, dating to properly care for her children, you should be glad their father is willing to take full custody, unless you are prepared to take half custody.

The thing is, he already has them half the time, so presumably he would notice anything out of the norm. If he tries to go for full custody, you need to see if your grandson's
skinniness and overall unkemptness is any part of why he wants him full time, in which case,
let him have it.
Maybe your grandson really is just going through a skinny phase. Did you raise any boys? They are generally kinda skinny and messy ( and stinky and dinged up) quite often!

1024 I have found myself going back to 70's music I grew up with mainly because I don't know any "new" bands and after hearing some on corporate radio I don't really care to listen.

I do enjoy the Foos cause they "seem" the still be rock. I like Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers because they help me relax and think beach thoughts when I was working.

I've gone back to America, The Who, Wings (don't hate me!), and some Christian music like Randy Stonehill and Phil Keaggy. I'm a singer and was in a couple bands. Actually professional singer who toured all over the states, part of eastern Canada, over the border in Mexico and across the Baltic. Even behind the Iron Curtain when it was called that. Good times.

I know I did. And my parents reaction was to force me to eat food, even if not hungry.

Then I went through a fat phase.

Then I kind of realized I should only eat when hungry, and it all leveled out.

Well, I mean I have normal weight fluctuations these days. But looking back, I'd probably have been better off if my parents had not made a big deal about me "not eating enough."

I've got her two lesbian neighbors, both named Kathy, henceforth "The Kathys" on that like a terrier on a burrowing rat.

99.5% of her clothing went, not only NOT to "Salvation Army" (which I support), but to textile fiber recyclers. That's how bad it was.

I've been pre-aware of the value of every item of every thing in the house, for nearly two decades, now.

And of course, the whole of the estate is wrapped up in a trust, I'm the SOLE trustee, etc.

You wanna build a mini-mansion in the most highly desirable neighborhood in the Orlando area?

I've got the PERFECT 1940 built Florida Cracker House and HUGE lot, for all of your bulldozing needs.

Gonna cost you some large, and you're gonna have to step up and bring it in cash. YOU get to explain that to the IRS, and I don't give a shit what you tell 'em, either.

I've got the clear title, and I'm not paying a dime in realtor commissions, either. I do know how to do this, every bit of it.

On my end, I'll pay every tax required of me.

But that cash will surely disappear out of the reporting system, altogether.

Not a dime of it is any business of Uncle Sam, be it I buy ammo or a side of beef or a new freezer to put it in.

Cash, wisely handled, can do amazing things.

Leave no electronic bread-crumbs as to your financial trail, Horde.

It is the Moron way.

This house, when I got it, had been sitting vacant for years, and crackheads and metal thieves stole most everything in it. As is (or was) common in this part of Arizona, it is a single-wide mobile with cement-block add-on rooms, all under a canopy roof. The entire neighbor hood here is some variant of that. I rehabbed the old en-suite bathroom in one of the block rooms, and I live in that room, and work on the rest of the house. The kitchen goes in the north end of the mobile, and a bathroom in the midsection of it, and a guest bedroom in the back end.

Charlie, I did a stupid stunt with the table saw. Jammed a 2-foot length of 2X4 straight down on the back side of the blade, intending to cut a notch. Totally blonde moment on my part. It snatched the board out of my hand, and fling it up right into my face. Nine stitches to my forehead and nose. Healing up pretty well now.

1096 I had the absolute pleasure of discussing politics with a liberal friend of mine this evening at the bar , and I mean that with the utmost sincerity.

One of my greatest guilty pleasures is making a liberal say things they don't agree with because I can literally see the self-loathing in their face when they are forced to utter words they don't believe and no president of my lifetime has forced them to f*cking hate themselves and expose themselves as charlatans like PDT has.

The topic of war came up and I forced my friend to say he agreed with the obscene financial costs and death wrought by the never ending, generational conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria. He wanted to, and did, say that we could be there 40 years and nothing would change, but he couldn't say he agreed with PDT that we should bring our boys home. I made him agree that he supported the bipartisan efforts of McConnel and Schumer to keep dumping money and American lives into an endless conflict. I made him admit he didn't care how much we spent on bombs and how many people died, that it's more important to hate and disagree with PDT than it is for men to die. It wrecked his binary.

He eventually went silent, this hater of Trump who never fails to try to goad me on the topic of the President. To his credit, I could see on his face how disgusted he was with himself when I continued to repeat "So you just think we should just keep sending our boys their to die?" because Feinstein and Co. and Republicans alike all profit from the military action overseas.

I wish our Senate had the same shame a barroom drunk had at 2 am. Because all I did was shut a drunk up. But really what I'd love even more is to see our finest men return home to their families safe and sound instead of putting life and limb online so that US Senators could profit just one million more before retirement.

Yikes! Funny thing, and I guess a good thing, is that I had already shut down the saw, and it was just coasting, when I did the stupid move. So the board didn't have the force behind it that it could have done. ( I wanted square notches cut out of each end of a short 2X4, to fit 2X2's. I was making a section of the support framework for my kitchen counter-top. I had already made the cross-grain cuts for the two notches using the miter gauge, and I was casting about for a way to make the rip cuts. Pro tip: jamming the workpiece end-on into the back side of the blade is not recommended.)

1134 So I just figured out that if the Trump Admin wants to, it can easy build enough Wall to completely seal off New Mexico. Last summer they built 20 miles starting at its eastern most point with Texas ( El Paso). Its a very straightforward project in flat Desert seen from drone footage here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S024otpADnQ

It cost $74 Million to build that, at a rate of $3.7 Million per mile.

New Mexico's Southern border is 180 Miles. 160 remain.

They's need $592 Million more to complete NM.

And they are taking $601 Million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, monies seized from drug dealers. So, there you go! One state down, 3 more to go.

She said the hub could be a little more "eager" in bed. The friendly doctor told her there were chemical solutions now-a-days.
Send him to the office Thursday, he told her.

Next Monday, she saw the Doc at the grocery again.
"How'd the pills work?" he asked.
"Fantastic! He was like a kid Friday. Twice on Saturday, and THREE times on Sunday, just before he died."

Lots of seafood, lots of steak only one minor injury; my one drunken friend got angry when another stole his shoe - so he threw his other shoe and hit my OTHER friend square in the nose at point blank range causing a LOT of blood to flow. He staunched the flow, then ripped a clean shirt out of a bag and off we went after some apologies ("I LOVE you man!"). Then a brief (very brief) stop off at the local girly bar (just to say we did it - ahem - it was look don't touch) then off to my friend's cottage in Connecticut for the weekend for a smaller group where we cooked amazing food, sat in Adirondack chairs and watched the LI Sound and drank scotch and smoked cigars. At one point during the weekend it started to rain so we went inside and were sitting around playing cards - we switched on the TV and turned it to a nature show: "Snow White Killers of the Arctic" was the name of the show and I will never forget it because my friend's fiance (not mine - my friend's. My friend's fiance was a stone cold b*tch and they eventually divorced. As you all know, Mr. and Mrs. Redux are doin' just fine) called up and asked: So what are you disgusting men doing? Are you going to some t*tty bar do you have strippers there?" To which I, who had answered the phone, said: "Umm, no, we're watching Snow White Killers of the Arctic on the Nature Channel and playing cards." She replied, in her harrridan voice " oh sure you are . . ." (think of that "Jake from State Farm commercial" and you get the idea).

My point of this long story is: a bachelor party is about being with your boys, for one last night (or weekend in my case) of being together before you embark on the path of being the patriarch (oooh that word) of your own family, with real world responsibilities and responsibilities for the future of our human race. It is not an evening that should be spent having random sex with strangers. It always felt wrong to me . . . and still does.

Anyway - just my thoughts.

---

I always look for Pilot on trips if I don't have my thermos* or have run out.

When I've gotten a $1 cup from McDonalds and it's good it's pretty good, but it's so hit and miss that I rarely bother unless I have to go inside anyway and can try it before I leave the premises. I have no problem getting a $1 refund if they can't even be bothered to not burn the coffee up or keep a fresh pot on.

* Yeah, a big thermos full of coffee from home because I know it is prepared the way I like it, will have a predictable taste, the implements are washed occasionally, etc.

1151 Cheap cofveve costs as much as good cofveve. Think about it, if you are going to be drinking it by the gallons ( I'm talking to fellow CPO's here) just get it in the 20 pound square cans, low bidder. If you want to have a few cups a day buy whatever your favorite grocery has and use a Kuerig machine.

Sam's Club house brand, hands down. Big 3lb metal tin for $6-$8, and the coffee tastes good. Plus you get a big metal tin for storing nails and nuts and bolts in the garage.

Local mom and pop. If that's not an option, Hardees. They're the only nationwide fast food chain that seems to have figured out how to make a proper biscuit.

Now, if you live somewhere that has Biscuitville, they win every fast food breakfast argument. I don't think they serve or even stay open for lunch.

1164 Cheap coffee isn't necessarily "bad", though, weak watery coffee is always not Optimal. Fast food coffee these days makes pretenses towards gourmet blends, and then they water it down. Bahstids.

I need caffeine more than I need foo-foo raspberry & hazlenut atomatherapy. I drink everything from Tanzania peaberry homeroast to MRE freeze-dried washed down with a swig of canteen water. If it tastes good, great. The point if the exercise though, is to get some juices flowing.

Ahem.

If I may. Not to be didactic. But government pensions are not based on a "reasonable rate of return based on what was put in" formula. They are based on a nonsensical % of what you made your last year of employment with the government including overtime, etc. This means that sometimes government employees are owed 50%, 75% or sometimes even over 100% (da fuh?!) of what they were being paid in annual salary at their retirement date as an annual pension. You heard that right, some government employees ( actually many) are being paid as much, if not much, much more, than what they earned as an average salary over their entire employment. But wait, there's more: many government pension schemes allow you to get these types of benefits when you "retire" after only 20 years of employment. So, if you start at 18 in, say, a state administrative position in the DMV at 18 and work until you are 38 you can retire on 3/4 pension of what you made that last year which, usually, you hike up by working crazy overtime and not taking sick leave that year. Many government jobs do not even require that you not be employed anymore to get your pension (meaning you can get another job and STILL collect your pension - not sure if Illinois is among them - but - with their pension liability I am betting that many of their liabilities are).

But wait - it gets even better.

Illinois State and LOCAL government pensions are constitutional rights under the state constitution. So, Illinois is f*cked. It is a fiscal time-bomb waiting to destroy the state. Eventually, the ability to write bonds and use other fiscal tricks to actually pay the pensions of "retired" government workers will end and, much like the Soviet Union, there will be no more money to meet payroll/pension payments no matter what taxes they impose (and, more importantly no banks willing to extend credit to cover it because it will simply become too big for even a group of huge banks to do so. They will be too worried about being paid back the interest). As someone smarter than me observed, at some point, you run out of other people's money

Essentially, ILL. is bankrupt - but is still able to finagle finances to cover it.

But I think it is cute that you think that government employees' pensions are determined by something as minimally simple as "we put in X amount of $ over our work lives (with a minimal employer match) and only expect a reasonable rate of return on what we put in."

How droll.

That is for suckers in the private sector.
