I’m keeping this short. It’s Wild Card Weekend. You are way too involved in the games to think about working out.
This has been a week of contrasts. It began with retesting on the AthleanX 400. I had planned to add extra conditioning to my routine this past month. That didn’t happen. Work was ridiculously busy right through the end of the year. I didn’t take any days off except for Christmas day and I left early for News Years Eve. I just didn’t find the time to add anything to my workout routine.
Monday I retested. I completed it in 14:03. That was just shocking because my personal best had been 14:49. I don’t know how that happened, but I’ll take it.
Oldest Child is home from college for winter break. Wifey decided we should go to Las Vegas to get away and relax. Driving six hours, spending the next day hiking, then driving six hours home the following day didn’t sound relaxing to me, but what do I know? I’m the same person who is awful for noting the people who lined up to watch the Mirage’s “volcano” are suckers.
Our hotel had a pretty decent gym so I managed to get my workouts in while we were there. I was supposed to retest on the Final X-am today but I am f*cking exhausted. So, I’m going to sit in front of the tube zoning out.
My team is out of the post-season. Here’s hoping yours team wins.
Chrononutritioning my way into the new year, but also realising that breakfast is pointless.
“Early don’t eat breakfast. He thinks it’s a conspiracy put together by the cereal people.”
(You’re right though.)
I have managed to get back, weight wise, where I was 2 weeks ago. Still too cold to work out in the garage. Winter is about 1/2 over. Not too bad so far, lots of snow on the ground.
Winter is about 1/2 over
Could’ve fooled me. We have had more days in the 60s than with snow this winter.
Right? It has barely begun around here. We usually don’t get hit until January anyway.
We have six straight days of snow coming. Up until now, we have gotten more than two inches a couple of times.
Fuck the Sharks. They are a mess. The Sharks are a big, fat mess. They blew a two up lead to the Caps in the final 49s of regulation play? Who the hell manages that? Lackadaisical, lollygagging, arrogant jagweeds, that’s who. I had to switch it off. I don’t give two hoots if they win it in OT. It’s the principle of it. I’m not even a Sharks fan, but seeing something like that makes me feel ashamed and disgusted with the caliber of “athlete” that would so hubristically coast through what in reality was anything but coastable. YOU HAD ONE JOB, SHARTS. It was like watching a hundred meter sprinter arrogantly stroll the last 10m only to have the rest of the field rush past him. TRY PLAYING THE FULL 60, OTHERWISE WHAT ARE YOU EVEN BEING PAID FOR? Does a mailman get paid to only deliver 90% of the mail? Does a cook get paid to serve 95% of an undercooked meal? Do your cad sarn jobs, knuckleheads.

Ps – I just realised that noone gives a shit about hockey right now because the concussionball playoffs are on
Stars score four unanswered at the Cotton Bowl to overcome two-goal Pred head-start !!!!11!
Escaped Jr attended
That was sweet, although I didn’t see the game.
*raises hand*
The Rangers?
They have the biggest stable of good young defensemen–but cant play defense. Maddening.
“The best defense is a good offense” doesn’t count when it’s the opposing team providing the good offense, I suppose.
At the risk of a cat-butting, there is someone that cares about hockey.
[ignites Acme rocket-power skates a la Wile E. Coyote and blazes as far away as possible]
I stopped reading when the virtue signalling started.
So the by-line, amirite?
Third paragraph.
She really is a piece of work.
Hahaha. Priceless.
Haha. Shikha with the clutch hockey piece and surprise guest appearance. I must admit I don’t read TOS much these days but when I see a Shikha farticle I jump straight to the comments.
The Vikings/saints game is getting remarkably good!!
Indeed. I was going to take a nap but changed my mind.
I did sleep through the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
Mrs. Frankelson is a Lousiana native so she is not pleased with the outcome, but that ball that Kirk Cousins (!?) threw to set up the TD was freakin amazing.
Catch wasn’t bad either. Better to be beaten on a good play than a bad call.
That Taysom Hill is some player.
I set a new personal record for dead lift, bench press, and squat yesterday (up to 160 pounds plus the bar on that one). I have that good kind of soreness. Tonight I will put on a 40 lb weight vest and walk 6 miles. I probably won’t have to ruck anytime soon, but I don’t want to get too out of practice.
Booze consumption was up this week, but not disastrously. Still working on that. Chair and screen time was down, but not by enough.
For those wondering, my date went well and the lobster was delicious. I had 2 lobster tails and some grilled shrimp. It’s a good day when I eat 2 kinds of crustaceans at the same meal. As for my date, she is quiet introvert who likes to read and works as a welder in construction (hawt).
To help with my goals, I think this will be my last post for this month. And so I will leave you with this:
Joe Biden compares supporters of due process to ‘Nazis’ who marched in Charlottesville
https://www.thecollegefix.com/joe-biden-compares-supporters-due-process-nazis-marched-charlottesville/
***
Biden was audibly agitated and angry through most of his address on the 50-minute call, a recording of which was made available to The College Fix. He even apologized at various points for his tone, as well as for taking so much time on the call.
Much of Biden’s remarks was disjointed and awkwardly worded, and he moved from topic to topic quickly and repeated himself in different words at several points.
“As long as I have breath in me,” Biden told Know Your IX and End Rape on Campus among other activist groups, “I am going to continue to fight to change the culture … there’s nothing less that has to be done.”
***
Behold Mighty Joe Old leading the charge against sexual misconduct. So brave, much woke!
Happy New Year and good luck to all
Yikes. It’s not surprising, however.
my date went well and the lobster was delicious. I had 2 lobster tails and some grilled shrimp. It’s a good day when I eat 2 kinds of crustaceans at the same meal.
Is that what kids today call it?
Freshwater oyster, bearded clam, close enough. It’s all about the man in the boat anyway regardless of the shellfish.
Derpy is a linguist, it is known. Perhaps even a cunning linguist.
Booze consumption
May I employ a non-resident “ufda” in response?
Well done, in all counts, Derpe.
Didn’t make a graph for this week, but weight was not down.
Results from the Steel Challenge were: Success. 1.56 shots/target, placed exactly in the middle of the pack. Had there not been some weird auditory hallucination with one of the plates where I swear I heard it ring, I would have been in he top half.
Best string with the CZ Shadow 2: 4.54 seconds. Same stage, best string with the Ruger 10/22: 3.08 seconds. Unfortunately because of the number of shooters showing up they’re only letting people enter one firearm during these sessions. I’m assuming that at some larger format they’ll follow the rules and go back to allowing multiple.
Winter is about 1/2 over
Haha, If it’s anything like last year, winter hasn’t even started here, yet. Last February was brutal. Thirty inches of snow or so, which didn’t go anywhere until some time in March.

*swoons*
Prevent defense prevents defense.
I’m loving this game
Every game this weekend has been excellent.
JAW DROP
Last night’s game was MOST excellent.
“Stunned silence here in New Orleans.”
Oh no, you di-int!
Stunned AND BRAVE, shitlord!
That was some silence. Awkward silence.
Aaand the Saints are done.
I don’t get football overtime rules. Seems like both teams should get a chance at offense.
It was worse when it only took a field goal to win. At least now you have to make the end-zone.
Weight wise, I’ve stayed pretty stable over the holidays (which I’ll call a win). I’ve signed up for a subscription for the spin class (there was a 20% off deal, which knocks down the cost to ~$12 a class) which gets me 4 classes per month. Still on track for the April goal.
Good work Neph.
Guess the quote:
(answer)
Yeeesh, what a fawning little creep.
Does he think he’s endearing himself to Hillary? She’d kick this dude’s fingers till he fell from the helicopter skid into the teeming mass of zombies they just escaped.
I mean I figured he was an entertainment industry default leftist, but that was gross.
I boggles my mind that these boneheads think that they are speaking truth to power or some such plabum when all of the positions they hold are the same as nearly every institution in the country.
That’s just it – he didn’t used to be. His politics were more or less Northeastern RINO until he started hobnobbing with the smart set. The only position of his I remember that consistently aligned with Dems is abortion. Say what you will about RINO’s, but they don’t gush over Rosie O’Donnell and Hillary fucking Clinton.
Could have fooled me but skeletons lurk in closets
Sounds like Tom Friedman, but he must’ve previously met her.
He doesn’t want to get Arkancided.
Hitler?
Desperately seeking attention (and he got it). Good job Howard.
That is tremendously disappointing.
I was a regular listener until the mid-aughts – I could see the slide coming but I had no idea how far it was going to go.
He agreed with her that Trump’s presidency has been a disaster and that Trump represents an existential threat to America.
Blunt force head trauma is a terrible thing.
I made garlic and mozzarella mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes.
I’m doing my part!
This game is starting out pretty sloppy.
Carson Wentz may be out for the game with a head injury.
Double whammy on that tackle.
Aw. Saints are out. Cowboys are out. Dad can’t even root for America’s Team to own the libs. SAD!
Dinner tonight is a fruit and cheese to go along with a hot punch made from cinnamon tea, apple cider and brought to 20 proof with mixing whiskey.
Iran put an $80 million bounty on Trump’s head.
They couldn’t even manage to bag Salman Rushdie, how do they think they’ll manage to accomplish this?
“Anyone who brings us the head of this yellow-haired lunatic, we would give him $80 million on behalf of the great Iranian nation.”
I laughed. ///clown-world ///honk-honk
Does that mean Obama’s cash would be funding Trump’s assassination?
One more step on his road to sainthood!
/Francis
In a roundabout way I suppose.
Snark, of course
Would have been better with a Cheeto reference.
Lot of ‘if’s’ and ‘woulds’ in that. Is it a translation thing? Sounds like one of those weaselly bar tricks that hinge on one ambiguous word.
Looking for loopholes in fatwas. You’re doing God’s work.
I was trying to figure out if they were claiming they would make Mexico pay for it.
Pshaw! The cartels don’t waste their money on frivolous things like offing POTUSs.
My exercise regime currently seems to consist of ironing clothes.
For some reason, the dress code that doesn’t apply to technical schlubs does seem to apply to anyone in management.
At least I have to stand up to iron, and I should spend more time on my feet.
Back in the 80s, I did a crapton of ironing what with cotton and linen clothes being in fashion.
I don’t even own an ironing board now.
I find cotton the most confortable, so that’s pretty much what my wardrobe consists of, that and cotton/poly blend.
I’m going to see if I manage to not look frumpy, or if I’m right that contact with me immediately re-wrinkles the shirts.
Starch is your friend.
That’s why I liked wearing a uniform. I never had to pick out clothes for work, and they were all permanent press.
You know who else appreciated sharp uniforms ?
Shredder?
Hugo Boss?
The Japs?
stop it, that’s entirely too silly !
The 1980s Houston Astros?
I see your 1980 Astro’s and raise you the 2019 Seahawks.

Hugo Drax?
The 1934 Pittsburgh Steelers?
At least you’re wearing clothes.
OT: Made it through the holidays just fine. Looks like I’m close to picking up another hole in the belt.
Toward which end of the belt?
Prior to October, I was steadily getting smaller. I punched many holes my my belt. However, my gunbelts required drilling, what with the core and all. It was annoying, but I’m far too cheap to buy a smaller one.
In the last year, I’ve gone from the first hole, to almost the fourth.
I like this belt.
I’ve got two of these. My guess is I will never have to buy another one.

He offers elephant, but not crocodile?
smdh
Considering the price, I should hope not.
I’ve paid that for a belt before, that barely lasted a year. I’ve had these for six and they still look great. And they hold a holstered weapon just fine.
Someone who knows really should say, WTF is up with alligators not being considered fair game? They are freaking everywhere, and make beautiful leather goods.
They’re even farmed for leather/meat.
*deletes stupid training an alligator to sew joke*
Yeah, well I’m poor and not about to spend that kind of money on a belt. 🙁

You better run before SP finds you.
That’s a lot of letter and number flair.
I have flashbacks to pulling porn off of Usenet.
Do I need to use Lview to decode that, like in the old days ?

Maybe I’ll go back in time 20 years and buy one.
Guess it’s time to head over to the cooking sites. Lol.
Are you kidding? We get to start over again in five minutes.
I am using turkey kielbasa in my taters, onions, garlic, and sausage skillet.
Yum.

Admirable choice of utensils.
This wouldn’t happen if we had commonsense rock/shear/poker control.
John would still be alive…
rock/shear/poker
That’s a novel way to play roshambo.
Are we talking those little 1-handed pruning shears, or the big two-handed kind?
According to the paper, the police report also stated that the woman said Hachiyanagi began attacking her after showing up uninvited on Dec. 23 and saying that she wanted to talk about her feelings.
“You want a heart-to-heart? Kill me.”
Jugsy wanted burgers, velveeta mac & “cheese”, and hater-tots for supper.
I ate 4 tater tots.
/hear my confession
Tater tots are a standard side here. And fried tater tots are > french fries.
Nope. Not even.
Well… bagged tater tots > bagged fries, but the absolute best fries >> the best tater tots.
I try to keep to a low-carb (<50g-carb/day counting crappy light beer)
So 4 of those were a treat for me
Fries > tots, period.
Chili Sauce > Ketchup with either.
You are a sick individual.
Fry sauce.
I make my own. Spicy!
Have you noticed my handle? I’m a certifiable aficionado of fried potatoes. We even have a couple of places that make their own.
Yes, I’ve had house made tater tots. I’ve never had any that were better than the best Belgian-style fries.
You can’t go wrong with double fried fries. One of the other standards here is that the fries are dusted with potato starch before frying.
That does vastly extend their lifespan.
BTW, I’ve probably mentioned this, but the Chinese expats that work with me LOVE tater tots. My work cafeteria serves them at breakfast to keep up with the demand.
Of course eggs and tater tots make the absolute best basis for a breakfast taco, but NY wouldn’t know about that.
Breakfast… taco? What new spore of madness is this?
The breakfast taco is where it is at. I am a fan. Sans potato for me though.
The gas station near my office has hispanic breakfast options like that as a result of the large amount of hispanic construction workers that frequent it in the morning. It is a recent development. Don’t tell me the market doesn’t respond.
But that kind of thing (breakfast burritos and the like) has been a thing for a long time. Put eggs on/in it and it’s breakfast. And breakfast burgers are awesome.
Go to Austin. There are entire new worlds of deliciousness to discover.
https://www.mimadresrestaurant.com/breakfast-menu/
And in completely useless towns, you can find gastronomy such as this:

Not to get serious with you all, but the fact that such transcendent art exists like this that almost nobody will get to experience (relative to the earth’s population) is what keeps me humble. Prety much none of you will experience these things, it is therefore reasonable to assume you know of absolute beauty I’ll never experience.
Go to Austin.
The way things are going in VA I may have to move to TX.
Go to Austin.
Magnolia Cafe for breakfast is okay.
Otherwise I’d hit the dives and barbecues in Dripping Springs, Neu Branfels, San Marcus, Lockhart, or Luling. Kolaches in West.
Breakfast tacos are often constructed as burritos.
And are wonderful.
I like the cut of her jib.
my confession
I have a unibrow but I shave it. Oh wait. This isn’t a confession thread. Forget I said anything.
My team is out of the post-season. Here’s hoping yours team wins.
Whenever the Patriots and the Eagles were in the Superbowl, a VP at work asked me, “(DEG’s real first name here), Philly or New England?”.
I said to him, “What are you talking about?”
He said, “The Superbowl. Which team do you prefer?”
I said, “I don’t like football. I don’t give a shit.”
Since it was in the office, I did not say what I wanted to say, which was, “My interest in football begins and ends with the lady cheerleaders.”
About my disc herniation: I decided to go back to physical therapy. There were some things I liked about the physical therapy center I went to but there were other things I did not like. I talked with my insurance company about going back to physical therapy but back to a different center. I have one in mind. The insurance company has no problem with me doing so and does not need a referral from a doctor. I tried to schedule an evaluation with the center, but they told me the physical therapists want a referral from a doctor before they will see me. I see a doctor tomorrow about arranging that.
Tomorrow morning bright and early I have an appointment with the personal trainer at the gym I used to work with. He has some ideas based on reading he’s done and his Masters work. He’s working on his Masters at a local university with a sports program. He has a work study with that school’s athletic department which involves working alongside the trainers and physical therapists. I liked working with him before I figured out the pain in my leg was due to a herniation and not something else. He helped me with some shoulder pain and other things.
I am half way through Stuart McGill’s “The Gift of Injury.” I would like to finish my first reading of the book tonight.
My follow-up with the doc that did my cortisone shot is in a week and a half.
The pain is worse in some ways since the second cortisone shot but nowhere near as bad as it was before the first cortisone shot.
Even if I get my back fixed, I still need a new brain. I had lunch today at a local bar. I am attracted to one of the bartenders and would like to date her and get to know her. She was unusually smiley and chatty today. I think she has a boyfriend (the guy I think is her boyfriend was there but left in the afternoon). Near the end of her shift she asked me what I was doing later. Instead of doing the right thing (a friend has already admonished me for this, feel free to pile on) and saying, “Having drinks with you” or something along those lines, I talked about the early meeting with the trainer in hopes of helping my disc herniation. I had mentioned to her another time about the disc herniation, so she knows I’ve had some trouble here. She’s off tomorrow. Urgh. DEG “Needs Life and Laid” as well as a brain. Maybe I should change my avatar back to the kid wearing the dunce cap.
Ugh.
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.
The universe saved you from yourself.
Better: “I had planned to do X, but if you would like to have dinner with me, I would enjoy your company.”
Thanks. That sounds smarter. Maybe next time, if there is one.
Michael Moore, Diplomat.
Michael Moore✔
@MMFlint
I have just sent the Ayatollah of Iran a personal appeal asking him not to respond to our assassination of his top General with violence of any kind, but rather let me & millions of Americans fix this peacefully.
I think Kathy Griffin already won the bounty.
Isn’t there some law that they wanted to impeach Trump over re: conducting private diplomacy?
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects
How much would it cost to imprison Michael Moore for 3 years?
I could do for 20 grand.
That seems a bit high for pouring concrete.
I assumed it was for only 3 years, also don’t want to end up like Mojo’s kid working for 3¢ an hour.
Nobody said you had to release him at the end of three years.
Reinforcing the cot will cost a small fortune. Government contractors.
Do you have to feed him?
I was thinking that he may waste away if he has to rely solely on prison food.
Nothing just tell him you have a cask of very special
amontilladodonuts in your cellar and…Imprisonment includes feeding so too much.
Oh, shit!
