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 am so high on legal California marijuana!
Thanks to these drugs, I’m ready to go to the Hollywood Hills and kill the shit out of a couple of people.
Thank you, and God Bless
Have fun!
And wear gloves!
Bleach helps.

“Nailed it.”

Don’t ignore strangling as an option, we might get a good punk song or two out of it
I love the word “garrotte.”
I so infrequently have a chance to use it in a sentence.
“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.
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.
Your kind words are kind. Thank you.
My pleasure.
No thanks are necessary. You should have been there all along.
I’m happy that my stupidity from a few months ago at least had one beneficial effect.
Love you beerguy!

For decades Prince protected his artistic property like it was gold.
Because it was.
The poor guy is barely cold and I see a fucking popcorn commercial using “Let’s get Crazy” as it’s bump music.
That’s some sad fucking shit right there.

Wow. Really?
Yep.
Damn.
That’s very sad.
Entire Purple Rain soundtrack is still desert island material for me.
And yes…I would Die 4 U is probably tops.
Nice pull.
I need to rewatch that flick soon.
Love you my brother.
Be well!
I’m trying.
Love you too.

I graduated HS in 1999, guess what our prom theme was? (Ed. Note, I did not go to prom)

I wish that my political philosophy was common enough to have a party, or at least a name
No you don’t.
Then you’d just be another asshole on one side of the aisle or the other.
Thinking for oneself isn’t heralded these days. But it should be.
You’re just fine the way you are.
Oh, I ain’t changing any time soon without a damn good reason, but it does make for some inefficient conversation
Yep, that’s why I generally stay out of conversations about politics.
I piss everybody off on both sides.
I think we’ve started a party.
Right here.
How you doin’ Dok?
Good to hear from yez.
Keep this up, the AFA might go down like an F-22 hangar at Tyndall AFB.
Edit: Shanklor says, no harm no foul.
Maybe there will be an AFC movie about it
Wow. I might actually be willing to let her shoot me just to meet her.
Aim for the fleshy part. No not that one.
When I was a kid I wanted to live in the Kennedy Center. That’s totally normal, right?
Center for the Performing Arts or Space Center? I was always a space geek.
Haha…great minds.
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’d like to live in the Kennedy Space Center for a while, then get my ass launched to Mars.
That’s sort of the same thing. Right?
That meme is a knockout!
I always wondered about this.
I grew up across the river from the Kennedy Center, which is about two miles. Washington DC was a small hick town back then.
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
It can be both.
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.
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,
Glad to hear at least one happy result today.
Don’t undersell, there were a couple years there where it was murder capital!
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.
Wow, that’s a hell of a story, would love to hear more. I love personal accounts of even the mundane bits of history
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We didn’t do many project there after they privatized the CE.
That does sound like a cluster.
yeah, the civilian CE folks there now are a bunch of prima donnas.
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.
Good old Dick Cheney. His legacy lives on.
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?
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.”
You’re the same age as me. And also a veteran.
Just sayin
Air Force brat, worked for the AF for the last 20 years, but active duty in the Navy. My heart is always torn twixt the Silver and Blue and the Haze Gray and Underway.
You were in the Navy though, if I remember your posts.
I wonder where that ukulele is right now?
That ukulele has seen some things, man.
Well it’s DEFINITELY seeing “something” in that picture!
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.
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.
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.
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
Impossible? No. But I do agree, it does look very sad.
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

If you weren’t committed enough to have a rib or two removed like the rumor about Marilyn Manson, then you weren’t committed enough to become a hermit. You may have been inadequately dressed, but you would have at least walked through a taco bell drive thru

should i be watching this game?

I just downloaded the Draft app and entered a couple of money games. That shit is like crack!

I’m really high and this baseball game is freaking me out.
Saw David Byrne for the 3rd time this year last Tuesday. Except for the change to one different song during the encore, it was the same as it ever was. But still fucking awesome.
Do you think that evangelical players could object to stealing bases because of the ten commandments?
I’m sure they could find some way to hypocritically justify their thefts.
Plus one hundred thousand “evangelical” politicians.
So, I’ve got my niece this weekend. She’s 13, and all which that implies.
She’s allegedly asleep right now.
I just got an email from facebook notifying me that she just posted something on Facebook.
The night might be about to get interesting.
smgdh
Haha, you have to deal with a teenager! But yeah, no self respecting teenager is going to be asleep before 2 am on a Friday. If all she’s doing is posting on FB, no worries
Depends on what she’s posting. I haven’t gone to look yet. I need another shot of vodka first. She has a history.
Plus, if she’s in there screwing around, it’s from my iPad.
Sneaky little shit.
As far as 13 year olds are concerned, FB is pretty fuddy-duddy. All the racy stuff will go on Snap 😀
All she posted was a photo of her new haircut. Which honestly, I don’t like, because I don’t like her being so carefree about posting photos of herself online. But that’s our world now. But….
tWBS: Watcha doin’ there?
Niece (sitting up in bed with iPad glow on her face): [silence]
tWBS: Can’t sleep?
Niece: No.
tWBS: I get it. But you know you’re not supposed to have my iPad up here, right?
Niece: Yes.
tWBS: OK, one hour then turn it off and try to sleep?
Niece: [giggles]
tWBS: I’m not kidding. I’ll come check and you’ll be in big trouble.
Niece: [giggles again]
Bottom line….tWBS is a sucker.
Also, I have rec’d a friend suggestion from some chick in Argentina, apparently.
WTF FACEBOOK?????????

Not going to open another bottle of wine, so the question becomes; gin or bourbon?
Bourbon and weed.
Brand choice?
bulleit v beefeater
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.
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.
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.
If I want heat, I rim the glass with cayenne
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.
GIN
bottle of… delicious… bourbon. Brownest of the brown liquors… so tempting. [holds the bottle to his ear]
What’s that? You want me to drink you? But I’m in the middle of a trial!

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.
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
Their market research folks need to bear down, I can’t even vote absentee in California from San Antonio (or can I?).
Probably? It’s easier to vote in CA than like, any other state
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.
Good to see ya, Dok. And not to minimize your work stuff, because I do sincerely hope it works out for the best for you….but….
You just said you “feel me”. Hehehehe.
No, I couldn’t not point that out.
Yes, I’m still a jerk.
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 😛
Love you, hon.
Really do hope for the best for you in all of it.
Sorry I went Beavis and Butthead there, but you know me.
Aw man, I miss Gilligan’s Island reruns
Kaye: You know, you guys were in class trying to list all the “Gilligan’s Island” episodes without even a hint of irony.
Shavonne: What the hell are you talking about, girl?
Kaye: You weren’t thinking about it, were you?
Shavonne: Gilligan’s Island?
Kaye: It’s what’s called a male pornographic fantasy.
Shavonne: Oh my…
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…
Jodi: The professor’s sexy.
The professor is SUPER sexy
Damn right he is.

the weed store closes at 2am. I should go browse. The weather is great right now to smoke outside and listen to some music.
That reminds me….
Weed store where? (i.e. California, Colorado, Canada). I think you’re Canadian.
Nevada.
Nevada is the new Florida
Nevadaman doesn’t have the same cache as Floridaman though
Congratulations on your American citizenship.
2am?????? Are you shitting me?????
They close at 10p in California. You’re telling me when I was in Vegas I could have bought weed at 1:59am?????
I mean I stocked up the day I got to town anyway, as soon as I checked into the hotel. But holy shit I’d have gone in the middle of the night just for the fuck of it. Of course by then, I was probably too high to drive back anyway.
Am I rambling?
one by me closes at 2am and opens at 7am. the major ones are open 24/7
https://weedmaps.com/dispensaries/pisos
Only one in Vegas I’ve been to was Essence, west of the strip on Tropicana.
But holy shit, I just checked their website. They’re open until 3am.
it’s like “They” want you to enjoy yourself.
I was already missing Vegas. Now I am even more.
Weed and Hookers fo’ evahbodeh!!!!!

“If you have some cocaine as well, please sign me up.”

I enjoyed your story about the hooker who tried to pick you up and then was all moralizing about smoke
Yeah, that still cracks me up.
I wish one of you other jerkweeds had actually been there to see it. But you all needed sleep n junk.
Time for the stretch.
Which here means freezer vodka.
*more
Some first, more later.
I’ve got my niece this weekend and am currently stone cold sober*.
*she’s asleep now so this will be changing momentarily.
Look at you being all responsible and shit. No wonder your family gloms onto you.
Yeah. I’m a sucker for sure.
But at least I’m about to be semi-drunk.
So that’s what happened to my Amazon shipment.
I had an order double-filled this week. Unfortunately it was a spray can of auto upholstery dye, and not a 75 inch television.
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?
I’m definitely doing two of those things.
I really need to get back out on the left coast and party with Brick some more.
Holy shitballz.
put me down for waxed nut sack
I’d be careful how I phrase that if I was you.
Wow; hookers with nut sacks are expensive. I can’t afford that.
and that little boy grow up to be Gratliff.
i forgot the company servers are down this Saturday. I knocked out all my planned Saturday work just now. No way am doing shit on Sunday.
let’s drink and root for the NBA Special Undies.

Folks.
That Milwaukee first baseman doesn’t miss many meals. That guy eats a steak for breakfast every day.
The auto grabber moderator thingy does not seem to like that image tonight.
I’m on it.
Been watching the game on a small screen until before last commercial break.
Now watching on a larger screen, and just noticed that one fan behind home plate seems to be very much on board with the Sexy Friday concept.
(Apologies if this has been already noted here.)
Running around half nekkid, or just eating ice cream?
Or both?
Not running around nor eating anything…just enjoying a healthy breeze across the décolletage.
Ooooh…good word.
I’ll have to watch more closely.
I guess that’s what I get for watching the stupid game in the first place.
Yes, after taking a moment to not watch the strike zone on each pitch, I do see some definite cleavage exposure.
Yikes.
Marlin Man’s escort?
Yep. Perhaps Floridian, then? (Should be glad the roof is closed tonight.)
