Short week this week for a few reasons. So I’m dipping into the “Pool of Princesses” for TGISF this week to make things easy on myself. Low hanging fruit, yada yada yada.
And while I don’t have the energy or the creativity to try to be coy with the identity of this week’s princess, Jamie Chung….
….I do still have to point out how hilarious I think I am with this week’s title and how perfect it would be if I was in the mood to be mysterious (even if I am the only one who thinks it’s funny).
And yes, I’d be happy to. Happy to Wang Chung, that is. You see, I’m using “wang” as a verb there, in reference to Jamie and…. You know what? Never mind.
But also, I will be linking some Wang Chung tonight, so get over it.
(also be glad I didn’t go with “Jamie Chung’s Doomsday Defense ” as the title because that would have taken way too long to explain the mixed references)
–
Jamie Chung first came to my attention in the horror flick Sorority Row (not a terrible flick, btw)….
Then of course, Sucker Punch…
Plus, she’s funny…sort of…
OK, fine. She’s funny by not being funny and having a sense of humour about it. But that’s funny enough when you look like she does.
More from her later, of course.

I Promised You Some Stories
Last week in a Vegas themed 25 Questions (Plus One), BallsofSteelandFury and myself told on ourselves somewhat. Then he stepped up and gave some details regarding his answers in last week’s TGISF. So I suppose it’s only fair that I do my part this week and fill in some blanks of my own. So, let’s do that….I guess. If I have to.
Going by the numbers in that post….
3) Have you ever stolen a mounted LVPD officer’s horse?
I explained this one in the comments of that post, but not completely. Many of my Vegas trips, though far from all, were centered around continuing education conferences for my profession, because one of the best conferences in the country is held annually in Las Vegas. At times during these events, I have also helped with hands on “labs” designed for the continuing education of “support staff”. One such lab was equine oriented. Thank you LVPD for letting me use your horse for demonstration purposes. Sorry about riding him off site for 10-15 minutes after the lab was over….technically without your permission (which sounds better than “You stole mah damn horse!!!! “, btw).
8) Have you ever been so happy about casino winnings that you bent your “companion” over the table and spanked him/her in full view of everyone?
This also happened during (or maybe after) a Vet Conference. I had made friends with a very special person who I learned had a talent for blackjack. When she told me this, I was skeptical so she said she’d prove it. Now, I was standing nearby, only watching her and not playing. But when she started cleaning up I became very….aroused. She was cutthroat. She didn’t win life changing money that day, but it was still more than I’ve ever seen anyone I’ve known win at blackjack. So yes, I was excited. And when she decided to quit after only a short time, I really did bend her over the table and spank her a little as she was standing up. She seemed to be OK with this behaviour based upon my answers to 16) and 17). And her winnings helped pay for a rather hedonistic day or two in Vegas.
22) Have you ever been accused of cheating at any casino game?
When she decided to quit, the pit boss who had come over and been watching, briefly accused her of counting cards (she probably was..not a big deal really) and me of signaling her (potentially a very big deal). FWIW, I totally was not. She didn’t need any help, especially not from me. Nothing came of it, and she was done playing anyway, so it was mostly a non-issue.
16) Have you ever been so tired and/or so drunk that you fell asleep in the suite Jacuzzi? and 17) Did you wake up, proceed to have sex in said Jacuzzi, and then order room service?
Same girl. Same day, in fact. Though technically, maybe the next day. Hedonism, ftw. I’ll presume 16) and 17) probably need no further explanation.
11) Have you ever crashed your car on (or around) the Hoover Dam because you weren’t paying close enough attention to traffic while receiving oral sex?
What can I say? Those switchbacks are a bitch. A few years ago, before I left Arizona and moved back east, I learned that the young lady I was dating at the time had never been to Las Vegas. So, we decided to drive up one weekend. On the way, I also learned she’d never seen the Hoover Dam. Soooooo…we diverted and drove across it so she could see it. Then we left. But as we were leaving she became somewhat amorous. Why she chose this particular time/place, I have no idea. Personally, the Hoover Dam has never done anything for me. But what Imma do? Say no? Yeah, right. The little accident in question involved no other vehicles, and was relatively low speed (thanks to traffic and the aforementioned switchbacks). But I did have to tell her she couldn’t do that anymore, at least not until we get back on a straightaway.
True to her nature, she made a “straightaway” joke in reference to my genitals. That ended up being a helluva weekend…

Sports Which Make You Too Sad To Wang Chung
NFL
The Saints hit the road to take on the Falcons last night. This is pretty much all you need to know….
To the Falcons’ credit, in spite of trying their best to fuck up the gift of a crashed Kamara (not to mention a host of other ‘Nawlins personnel losses, as well), they finally managed not to fuck it up.
Just barely. And not for a lack of trying. 20-17 Final

This Is The Part…
…Where I usually try to say something funny to wrap things up. Or philosophical. Or at least mildly clever. But this week I got nothing.
My apologies.
But here, have one last appropriate (maybe) Wang Chung tune…
Have a great weekend everyone.
Love ya’s.

You just had to go there.

She’s a likely future TGISF princess, btw. She’s been in the “hat” for far too long in fact.
Hey, the Bulls won a game! Is that supposed to happen more than a handful of times this season?
Army or Navy?
In my family you join the Navy or Marines. Army and Air Force are for Palin-Americans
I was raised in the Air Force, served in the Navy, and have worked for the Air Force for 20 years. Air Force was cool when I was a kid, now it’s a bunch of Bible people. Go Navy!
Next time I’m in SA we need to have a few
Sounds good…
Air Force here. What Viva said is true.
My mom’s dad was in the Navy, dad’s dad Army. Old man and I were USAF. I don’t really care.
I was this close (picture my thumb and forefinger very close together) to going Navy, commissioned, after college. Wanted to fly an F-14 in the worst kinda way (wanted to before Top Gun, so don’t even try it).
Dummy I am, I decided to go to Vet School instead.
But now you’re a vet and didn’t even have to join the service!
I was going to go back in and get a commission, make a career of it, but my graduation from college coincided with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the threat, it was like, sorry, we don’t need any 30 year old ensigns. And I was all, great, now I have to be a fucking geologist?
Holy shit, I didn’t know you were a geologist.
I’m a science nerd and now will eventually probably
probe you….errrrrrr ask you questions.Trust me, just relax, it’ll be fine.
Be aware that you’d probably get better answers from google on geology; I’ve been doing construction work for over 10 years and my job description would best be summarized as “responds to and forwards emails.”
my bartender looks like that only smaller tits. Tonya is fun.

CLEAN UP ON AISLE SEVEN; STAT!

Hey baby, lemme show ya my “long zoom”.
Literature and flexibility are important.
My friend let me borrow his copy of What If? by Randall Munroe, the NASA scientist who created the webcomic xkcd. Its good.
Bought that for lady BFC. Pretty sure she hasn’t read it yet.
I got my copy signed! I couldn’t take a picture because I dropped my phone.
I clicked on an article about 20 great sci-fi movies from this year and, as always, about half the list appears to be horror. Honestly, I don’t know why those two genres get mashed together because they sometimes overlap in premises.
But then again, I don’t think Star Wars is sci-fi either.
Where on the list is Spaceballs?
Yes, I laughed at this.
You talking bout Star Wars? The movie that all those toys/merchandise are based on?
Mom?
Oedipus???
Not today, but I am hungry.
Well, you see because….. never mind.
Redneck Phonics ftw.

Sorry balls, this is nomonkeyfun’s fault…..
Don’t apologize to me. It’s RTD that’s getting the divorce…
Soooooo….the former Mrs. RTD will be available then….?
Looks like my hometown.
They got some nice old cars there.

This JV JV quarterfinal game has been nuts. The defending champs may be going down.

Also: HOLY CAT TURDS!
I almost went to Weber before things fell through. My fallback was super-expensive, but well worth it. I was a golf coach there a few years ago, so I’ve still got a soft-spot for the place.
Oh my.
What? Dr. Quinn had to work her way thru med school just like anyone!!!!
Nothing to see here.
They forgot…
– Also, it kinda sucked.
twbs you wonderful bastard. I would disappoint Ms. Chung so hard.
May I present Saya Song. If you search for her at work or on puter your significant other uses, please use safe search.
Plus she likes the ganja very much.
Sfw

She seems nice.
Also…LOL at “at work”. I’m a lazy unemployed fuck, didn’t you know?
Had an interesting day at work. Yesterday was my last class session for the year. Earlier in the week, one of our annoying new hires just walked into my class and started talking to me.
This kid has already flaked on one project (the company sent him all the way to Poland and he had to come back after 3 days because his aunt died….six fucking months prior….and he had “shit to deal with”).
They send him out to LA to observe work at a port. It wasn’t until he got there that he told us he never bothered to get his fucking TWIC card from the DHS so he isn’t allowed to step foot on the port. He signed off paperwork and took paid time off to get the fucking card.
So now he is in a hotel in Long Beach. Anyone want to guess what he has been doing? Well today he spent the day face book messaging images to me of him drinking in his hotel room during working hours.
Oh and this kid has only been working with the company for about a year and has already gotten a fucking reckless driving charge in a rental car. I cannot fathom why this kid hasn’t already been shit canned.
I hate the whole “kids these days” attitude but my fucking god…some of these kids coming out of US colleges are fucking train wrecks. None of our overseas new hires have these insane “the world revolves around me and there are no repercussions for what I do” attitudes. I’m suppose to be on vacation and I will have to go in on Monday to report this moron for drinking on company time.
Long Beach, huh? If you need more documentation, let me know. It’s a short drive away and I love nothing more than firing morons.
To be fair, you also like Long Beach Blvd.
😛
That is VERY fucking funny for various reasons that I really cannot get into…
Check your email, hotshot.
Hehehehe.
I just got emails from three separate people telling me to reign the kid in (everyone thinks the kid is my responsibility because I am in charge of training and he is new) because they told him to delete that shit and he started arguing with them online.
Apparently he is still fucking at it and judging from the time stamps of when he started spamming me, he has been drinking since 4pm eastern standard time.
This kid is beyond fucked…yet I got the sneaky suspicion that somehow he will just be placed on some new form of super secret double probation.
That’s….jeez. 1 PM here on a workday? How he is not fired is beyond me.
Did you respond to the emails with some form of “not my motherfucking problem”?
This kid has to have an actual supervisor, right? How does this even remotely fall under your purview?
I called the kid’s boss up and basically told him we are having a sit down first thing Monday morning about this with HR.
Baby Boomers didn’t get enough love/attention from their parents (just like every other person/lifeform in the history of the universe) and compensate by giving it all to their kids.
I’m only like 9 years older than these kids and its like we grew up in completely fucking different cultures. It is staggering.
I’ve learned, in the few times that I had participated in the hiring process (HR generally ignores my opinion anyway so its a waste of time) to completely not bother in asking these kids what their work history is.
For field work, I would rather have a kid that worked the fryer at a McDonald’s than a kid that did undergrad research because that kid that did the shit minimum wage job to pay for college, he/she knows about managing time, dealing with bullshit, idiot customers, insane work expectations etc.
But almost none of these kids today have ever held a paying job before.
I’ve told most of my managers that we should just stop hiring Americans unless they did a single contract in the military, work in the service or retail industry, or coming out of a prison release halfway house.
That way we don’t have them bitching about having to do overtime.
You are not filling me with confidence regarding the quality of applicants I will get for a couple of positions in my department.
“he spent the day face book messaging images to me of him drinking in his hotel room during working hours.”
It almost seems like he wants to get fired.
I am utterly dumbfounded how this kid could possibly think this is going to plan out. And I can’t just call him up and tell him “HEY! SHIT HEAD! Stop it. Sober the fuck up. Delete the fucking photos. Get some sleep and grow the fuck up” because if I do, and I offend his sensitivities, I am going to get in trouble with HR.
I’ve already called his boss but I don’t trust this manager since this is the same jackass that keeps sending this kid out.
I really like Aerial America.
So, should by some strange circumstance the Spurs should win the NBA championship, does Trump even bother inviting them to the White House? Even all the white guys on the team are foreigners, the only white guy raised in the USA is Popovich, and he’s certainly made it clear how he feels about the orange wotsit.

Yes, this looks horrible. I agree. So you go in where it’s warm and I’ll sacrifice and stay here with her.

If things go well (so far they aren’t, life delays suck) Venice will be my future home. No shit.
Ha suck it Rangers.
Well, in 3.5 minutes at least. Hopefully.
I just ordered a beer called Factory of Gladness
28 different types of hops (and counting) since 1999
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s a sour.
I am hoppy for you.
Your hoppiness is cascading.
Sucker Punch has to be one of the shittiest movies I have ever seen in my life. Its not even “so bad its good”…its just so bad its insulting.
I don’t get how I manage to get nothing done all day. I know what I’m doing (and not doing), but it’s like … Fuck it.

So, this post was written specifically to get RTD divorced, right?
Aren’t they all?
Nope. This one in particular…
The “phenomenon” to which you refer did occur to me, but only after the fact.
It wasn’t motivation for the theme. Honest. Stop looking at me like that.
Hehehehe….I grew up with a guy who looked just like Langly. Byers too.
But I really miss Frohike.
I can never remember which one, but one of them was a camera guy or something on the x files and got put in the role.
This just reminds me of how much the X-Files revival will be terrible.
I can’t bear the idea of revivals. Things end. This masturbation to nostalgia is just opening up a wound to pour salt into it.
I watched most of the min-season they aired last year. The show just doesn’t work today. The world is far too different.
I mean in general. Like Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace. The fucking Deadwood movie. And the worst is the fucking idiot fandom that still wishes Firefly was on even though that series sucked.
I want to think there’s a way to move the universe forward into 2018, but these characters’ collective story has been told. Move on.
All of these remakes remind me of a Classics professor I had in undergrad who forwarded the idea that the Roman Empire’s real end wasn’t a German becoming Emperor but when its cultural output was completely derivative of previous works. If that’s true, America is basically over.
Hmm. I’m not sure about the Roman Empire, but that’s spot-on about America.
That’s been the case since the turn of the century.

Nope, never heard of it!!!! Honest!!!
