Monday Night Thread – the Carpenteering

Ok, so I fell asleep and did not get the post done in time, I really need to be a bit more proactive and work ahead on my posts.  **Fuck no, I know myself well enough to know that will never happen.  And to be honest I am feeling a bit less interested in Warhammer as the cost keeps going up, the constant retconning, and there has been too much drama lately.  I want to paint, play, and read the Warhammer universe not have people pissed off about retcons or some of the political shit because of “woke”.

I have been reading a lot including the new Stephen King short stories and so far I have really enjoyed the stories which are more like The Skeleton Crew short story collection he published earlier in his career.  Not going to look it up as I will feel even older than I already am feeling.  I can wholeheartedly endorse the book, I have always loved King’s work especially The Stand, The Shining, Skeleton Crew, The Dark Tower, shit I just realized I need to go back and reread a bunch of books, too much detail has faded away.

Anyway tonight we have the Stanley Cup game two with the Oilers facing the Panthers (if older women dating younger men are called cougars, should the male version be called panthers or are we just lions?).  The Panthers won the first game,  can the Oilers keep a grip on the game, or will it slip away like something covered in oil?  This time of year there is always baseball, so if you are more interested in napping I am sure there are some games on the telly (Who loves ya, baby?) for you you this evening.

Stupid Drill Baby Drill we ain’t NEVAR gonna be energy independent

Guys, I fucking love the fact that my cake is giving such a deep conversation

King Hippo

Did you pretend it was Cartman’s J-Lo hand taco and stick your dick in it? If not, drink MOAR.

Brocky

….no

I just finished a book that Brick recommend, The 50’s. It’s great deep history shaping short stories.

Brick Meathook

David Halberstam was a brilliant writer and scholar. His description of the 130,000-strong Chinese Fourth Field Army, which he calls one of the best infantry forces in history, that massed north of the Yalu River (and then silently crossed it by night) while MacArthur was only looking at maps in a deluxe hotel in Tokyo and not believing his eyewitness field commanders is worth the price of the book alone.

2Pack

Thanks for the recommendation, great read.

BugEyedBoo

MacArthur fucking up? NFW!

The Oilers have taken seven shots through two periods, which is fewer than most of their fans have taken tonight.

ballsofsteelandfury

As I tell Lady Balls’ son, you can’t score if you don’t take a shot!

King Hippo

I was counting up my life-scarring self-humiliation “greatest hits” today, don’t forget to tell him about that for balance!

ballsofsteelandfury

Those only exist in your brain.

King Hippo

but BOY HOWDY are they dug in like a tick!

Game Time Decision

I took more shots on goal tonight than that. Granted most missed the net completely or hit the goalie in the chest, but I tried

Doktor Zymm

Finished rereading the entire Sister Fidelma series, and now rereading Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde before reading the sequel that just finally came out a couple months ago. Such a good book, the first came out over 10 years ago so quite a while to wait for the second!

We gotta new Rudy Giuliani mug shot.

Yes! I’ve been waiting on the image to make my Hang Rudy High tank tops I’ll be wearing all summer.

I cleaned the grease trap on my grill tonight. It was gross.

Doktor Zymm

I’m more and more convinced that open fire is the way to go. Just drip that shit into the flames, none of this greasetrap or cooking utensil you have to clean shit. Fire cleanses!

Mr. Ayo

Spoken like someone with a secret lair on a volcano island

Doktor Zymm

I mean, it’s nawt going to be secret anymore at this rate. If it even still is. But at least no one knows the secret password is R3proccessD@nSnyderForParts69

With a name like Hyman, its probably good that he’s not a goalie.

King Hippo

Wait until he ages into Wal-Mart Greeter, tho!

Brick Meathook

I worked at a studio with a kid whose last name was Hyman, and of course he was immediately given the nickname “Buster.”

WCS

Kid never had a chance.

Brocky

So…. this is what happens when brocky is allowed to buy his own birthday cake:

King Hippo

You don’t seem like a Brian. Pick a new Christian name smh

Doktor Zymm

Not his fault if the pastry taco people can’t spell ‘Brocky’

Brocky

And happy Birthday Brocky from one Brian to another.

I like to say, Brian with an “i”…… the way God intended!!!

LemonJello

Two questions:

1) Would this be considered a sandwich?

B)What does this mean for the Maple Leafs next season?

iii) Profit

ballsofsteelandfury

And now a cake is a sandwich! – Balls

Have you met the cannoli?

Doktor Zymm

Buttercream is the peak of delicious due to the mating of fat and sugar.
In high school I definitely split a thing of frosting for lunch with my friend Diana at least twice. Like betty crocker frosting, not even as good as buttercream

Brocky

The taco cake is essentially just a regular cake cut in half and placed on its side

You’re not wrong about the icing, it was pure sugar, too sweet for one sitting

Senor Weaselo

Does the taco cake crap out ice cream?

Used to be my stir frys would slop all over the place because the sides of the pan were too low. Not anymore.

Because of wok.

What did the Chinese Aerosmith fan say?

Wok this way!

King Hippo

They play that Billy Squier song as Woke Me, Woke Me now. THANKS Obama!!!1111

I walk into my local German-Chinese fusion restaurant and they ask me what I want. “Wok me, Amadeus,” I say

Brocky

I legit want to banner this!

Doktor Zymm

I thought older men going after younger women were classically called wolves? Hence wolf whistle and little red riding hood as a morality tale.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t think it’s really in common parlance nowadays, Gen Z will probably reinvent it

Brocky

I once heard that was the means behind “werewolves of London”

Doktor Zymm

I can see that!

There were definitely some looney toons on the theme

Blaine is a pain, and that’s the truth.

Not after though, no siree.

I’m on Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass and I think I’m starting to see how King’s style changed post-accident. Could be this particular book but it seems less similar to the earlier ones (I think the shining and Carrie are the only OLD King I’ve read so not a King afficionado but am literate). Kinda really cruises at times but, honestly, I think I only notice because I know people talk about a change. It isn’t like he lost a pinkie and can’t type “L” in his later works.
