Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
A woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself [in bed]

So, no glove no love?
Went golfing on the weekend. It was like 10C\50F cloudly and windy out, so have only ever golfed in shorts and a tshirt, so it was a weird to be in pants and a long sleeve shirt when on the course. Did we still get cart beers? You know we did. Pro is that they stayed cold longer. The round itself was mostly forgettable for me, but did have a few good shots that kinda make me want to practice to just be a bit more consistent. One thing that does stick out, is that any time there was anything wooden in the way from the ball to the hole, we hit the wooden thing. List includes many trees, a bench, a few distance stakes and the divot box. It was probably be the last round of the year for me, unless we get lucky and have a nice day and the timing all works out.
We did have a few spectators for a hole, but they lost interest quickly and wandered off.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
My attitude of “we have never used these ramekins that were included with some Costco tiramisu that we bought eight years ago and have been sitting in the cabinet ever since and we’re never going to use them, we should get rid of them” often comes into conflict with the Dr. Mrs.’ attitude of “someday those ramekins will prove critical in saving the lives of not just ourselves and our pets but every living thing in the Western hemisphere, no of course we can’t get rid of them.”

We had a similar situation with a bunch of French onion soup bowls.
They disappeared during the kitchen renovation. Damned odd, that.

I have two sets of those. One has lids that are guaranteed to burn the fuck out of you, the others have two tiny handles that you can’t get a grip on. Both utter failures, and yet I kept them. I have two oversized coffee mugs that say Palm Springs on them that I use for soup instead. But only two, so don’t come to my house looking for soup. No soup for you!

I keep thinking we should make a glossary for new people, but then I do nothing about it and stare at my friends like they’re simple when I use Hippospeak in conversation and they have no idea what I’m talking about.
I’m also pretty sure I don’t remember the etymologically of everything. I think it officially qualifies as an argot. I hope so anyway cuz I like the word ‘argot’

The NFL should designate a week where each team wears their throwback uniforms from a past decade. If a team didn’t exist that far back, they wear generic uniforms (plain primary/white jersey with secondary sleeve stripe and a logo-less helmet).

See, the hardest thing for me was leaving the MAGA life. I still love the MAGA life. And we were treated like movie stars with pillows. We had it all, just for the asking. Our spouses, pastors, accountants, everybody rode along. I had paper bags filled with sharpies stashed in the kitchen. I had a sugar bowl full of hydrochloroquine next to the bed. Anything I wanted was a phone call away. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off Supreme Court judges. And now it’s all over. And that’s the hardest part. Today, everything is different. There’s no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can’t even get decent food. Right after I got here I ordered some lightly blackened octupus with ginger miso butter and I got calimari and shrimp cocktail sauce. I’m an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

“Can I bring a cake?” is the question the Dr. Mrs. asked her friend’s husband, who invited us to the friend’s birthday dinner. A foolish question to ask, in my opinion, because it conveyed the impression that she wanted to bring a cake. So of course he said “yeah, bring a cake.” And now she’s irritated and proposing things like “we’ll just go to Whole Foods in the morning and get something” and I’m thinking (but not saying) “hey, wait a minute here, when the hell did this become a ‘we’ problem?”

It’s very gratifying when the hot girl at the pool mentions that she hasn’t seen you in a while, so much so that it almost erases the shame of what you did next: redeem a BOGO coupon for a pair of double cheeseburgers from Del Taco.
Was she in line behind you at Del Taco?
Wait! She wasn’t working the register at Del Taco, was she?
The girl working the drive through at Del Taco seemed quite cute, actually. She was wearing a mask, though, so it’s hard to be sure.

How do we know this was an “accident?” Maybe this kid just had enough of Uncle Dave’s bullshit!
I haven’t seen buttocks pierced like this since the last college football scandal that was of approximately equal magnitude to the one that’s going on right now.
Got to the part of my history of rugby book where they’re talking about France. Basically France was losing power in Europe and this guy Baron Coubertin started promoting sport in general and rugby in particular as a way to rebuild national glory. He started promoting the inclusion of rugby in French schools as well as supporting rugby clubs around the country.
It’s the same guy who founded the modern Olympic games and designed the Olympic rings
It became especially popular in the south-western provinces because they liked (and still do!) kicking the shit out of Parisians
A question for you Navy types – who gets tagged to work in the ship’s laundry? Some poor soul gets the shitty end of “Join the Navy and See the World” by getting assigned to the laundry?
I guess some folks love doing laundry (for example my mother-in-law), but that would be on the bottom of the list for me. I’d rather do dishes all day than do laundry all day.
Why do I ask this? The Royal Navy is getting rid of the Chinese laundry workers on their ships for security reasons, and replacing them with Nepalese workers.
For Marines aboard ship, we’d have to “loan” one of our guys to the laundry, same for the mess deck/kitchen and then rotate them after a few weeks. It was usually a reward for fucking up.
An Exciting Day at the Mess Hall was penciled into our Basic Training schedule. I got to rinse dishes and stuff them in those high-powered steam dishwashers.
I did get to clean this cool potato peeler device. It was about the size of a five-gallon paint bucket, and would tumble potatoes in what looked like a big bucket lined with sandpaper. Run it for a few minutes, then rinse out the potato peel pieces.
One of my basic training drinking buddies got some extra mess hall duty when he got caught trying to spy on the girls in a female barracks. Luckily I had drank too much to join in, and had passed out back at the barracks. Poor guy got to spend all day Sunday all hungover working in the mess hall.
On a submarine the whole crew are petty officers (sergeants) or above, except for the X-Division, who are non-rated “strikers” still trying to figure out what they’re going to do. There’s only about 8-10 of them, and they do all the shit jobs like laundry, TDU (the worst), mess crank, deck scrubbing, etc. They also steer the boat on the planes. E-5 was the most common rank, and we had our special shit details that made you wish you could just load a laundry machine and watch it and read a book.
There are people who love doing laundry??
There are, sure. But I bet they’re thin on the ground. I suspected that what Lemonjello said would be the answer – screw up bad enough and you get to wash clothes as a mild punishment detail.
[glances at spouse]
There are many jobs I hate more than laundry. Mopping, for example. I hate doing floors most of all.
For me, vacuuming > mopping > laundry > putting up dishes. I hate putting up dishes.
You put them in the wrong place and get yelled at, like Gumby? He is weoponized helplessness personified.
The dishwasher is the greatest appliance of all. When that son of a bitch breaks, it will, you then realize its value.
Laundry is nawt awful when it’s in-unit. It’s having to use a shared laundry room that makes it miserable
My SIL has a friend who gets free concert tickets and hotel rooms at casinos. She gave us her tickets for the Rob Zombie/Alice Cooper Halloween show tomorrow night at Yaamaava . I’m not a big fan, but Gumby likes that kind of thing. The show should be over the top theatrical, I’ll enjoy the spectacle, if not the music. And we have a room in the hotel, so we won’t have to wander the parking lot trying to find our car! Valet parking for the win!
I’m jealous!
For me the music would be a mild upside, but even without that it sounds like it would be more fun than a bucket full of monkeys.
Okay, had to look it up.

It is time to eliminate funds going to districts that don’t have a serious representatives. Let dumbfuck Georgia enjoy every penny Marge can land them through appropriations.
Actually she’s been going with the party and the status quo. When you lose the moral argument with Marjourie Taylor Green, it’s time to walk away.
My story – I was out at a testing range, where we testing some Top Seekrit military stuff, and we got a jeep stuck in mud that looked a lot like that. So we got a deuce-and-a-half to pull the jeep out, and got that stuck in that mud too. So then we got the M60 tank that we had handy (test range, remember?), and chained it to that whole arrangement. It just had its own little mud parade, and dragged the whole mess out of the mud.
Been through that a couple of times. We now run a wheeled vehicle recovery course. A week worth of teaching Joe how to do that safely without getting a tow cable upside the head.
As the saying goes, it was like watching monkeys trying to fuck a football.
