Tonight's gratuitous bathtub photo is of Professor Althouse as she prepares for evening bath attended by some of her sycophants.

Perhaps Meade can tell us.; December 22, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Darcy said...: I think that's Meade controlling the temperature of the bath.; December 22, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Meade said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; December 22, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Meade said...: Nnnnope. Nice photo but the camera doesn't see me in that shot.

I'm under water.

Trying to help her find her... ducky.; December 22, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Meade said...: I hope no one gets the wrong impression.

I like to be helpful. It gives my life purpose and direction to help others have their needs met. But if you think I'm that kind of fellow, you're way wrong.

I'm saving myself for Ruth Anne.; December 22, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Darcy said...: Meade: Right there...no, a little to the left...over... over. There, you got it. You had a tiny crumb of ducky at the edge of your mouth.; December 22, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Meade said...: I see Darcy likes to be helpful too.; December 22, 2008 at 11:18 PM

You've got hope in your soul don't you?; December 23, 2008 at 1:12 AM
Meade said...: Shooting for the stars, my friend. As Blake would say, shooting for the stars.; December 23, 2008 at 1:28 AM

Asante Samuel said...: Hope in his soul?

Or soap in his hole.; December 23, 2008 at 8:43 AM
Meade said...: Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

God, how I love you fuckers. You are all the best!; December 23, 2008 at 9:05 AM
Ruth Anne Adams said...: He hopes not in vain.; December 23, 2008 at 11:53 AM
I'm Full of Soup said...: Yes Meade always brags he is a certified diver. I would guess Simon took the picture.; December 23, 2008 at 3:10 PM
I'm Full of Soup said...: Ruth Ann:

Where have you been? Have not seen you at Althouse?

Merry Christmas everyone!; December 23, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Darcy said...: Merry Christmas, AJ!

Merry Christmas, everyone!; December 23, 2008 at 3:40 PM
chickelit said...: Merry Christmas Darcy!; December 23, 2008 at 4:36 PM
Darcy said...: Thanks, chickenlittle!

Aww...isn't Trooper's crowd, great?

Hey...so, I never asked you, but people from Wisconsin are generally familiar with the game of euchre? I know it's a regional thing, but didn't know the region included Wisconsin.; December 23, 2008 at 5:14 PM
chickelit said...: Euchre an upper midwest thing that extends beyond Wisconsin. Our next door neighbors are from Minnesota and Iowa. They both grew up knowing the game. As for generality, I don't know. I'd venture that there's a social class element involved. Students who come to the university don't tend to pick it up. I learned euchre as a kid from my mother, who grew up in a small town. She is practically unbeatable at the game. I have no clue whether anybody in Milwaukee plays the game.; December 23, 2008 at 5:38 PM
Darcy said...: That's cool, chickenlittle. So you have neighbors to play the game with.

Your mom is unbeatable, eh? I think I've got a good grasp of it, but somehow I end up learning something every time I play. So I'm impressed, is what I'm saying. :); December 23, 2008 at 5:46 PM
chickelit said...: So you have neighbors to play the game with.

Yes, and they are the dearest! We take care of each other. They're expecting their first child next May, so a lot of the rowdy drinking together has stopped out of solidarity. Our kids are 9 and 10, so we are like the older couple they look up to.; December 23, 2008 at 5:55 PM
Darcy said...: Excellent! You sound like great neighbors yourselves.; December 23, 2008 at 6:04 PM
chickelit said...: @Darcy: I found this on wikipedia:
The Ten Commandments of Euchre!

1. Thou shalt not pass a biddable hand.
2. Thou shalt counteth upon thy partner for one trick.
3. Thou shalt not trumpeth thy partner's ace.
4. Thou shalt trumpeth thy partner's king.
5. Thou shalt leadeth trump to thy partner's order.
6. Thou shalt not leadeth trump to thine opponent's order.
7. When thou hath ordered trump, leadeth thy right bower to smite thy foes.
8. Ordereth not the right bower unto thy partner's hand unless thou canst go alone.
9. Goeth alone whenever thou canst, unless thy team hath eight or nine points.
10. Thou shalt not complaineth about the cards that the Lord thy euchre God hath bestowed upon you.

I'm going to have this made up as plaque for our gaming area. There's already a plaque there that says "Tourette's Euchre Club meets here Fridays"; December 23, 2008 at 10:56 PM
Darcy said...: chickenlittle! What a great bunch of commandments, lol.

I personally just learned the hard way commandment #8! I ordered the right up to my partner, had the left and a King, I think. And an ace of another suit. We got euchred. Not only that - but we didn't have the lead to start, so when the opponents lead trump, I played the left. Holy crap. All she had was the right, and we were screwed. She was pissed at me (tourney), but hey, this is how you learn commandments. LOL.; December 23, 2008 at 11:05 PM
Darcy said...: And too funny about your plaque. I'm going to make some sort of plaque out of these, too. My euchre group will love it. Thanks!; December 23, 2008 at 11:08 PM
I'm Full of Soup said...: There was a Bob Euchre played catcher for the Brewers so it must be a midwest thing.; December 23, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Ruth Anne Adams said...: AJ Lynch: "That's Uecker!"

Unless, of course, you meant Bob Eubanks.

Bob U!

Is Euchre like Sheepshead? My man and I play Spades most often. That was the game of his dissolute youth. [they played it in the barracks to avoid studying].; December 24, 2008 at 8:43 AM
Darcy said...: Ruth Anne: I looked up Sheepshead, and it doesn't seem to resemble euchre to me. But an interesting game!

I grew up playing pinochle, and I find euchre like a very shortened version of pinochle.

And Merry Christmas! I'm going to make your cheese ball over the holidays...should be fun to test it with my family.; December 24, 2008 at 9:55 AM
