We had so much fun.
You wish you could hold on forever.
You just have to hold on to your baby.
And go on to the rest of the year.
Farewell Seatuck.

Very special and all that crap.
ReplyDeleteMy goal in life is to find exposed tits and or nipples.
Some people's goals are money, apartment, mate, car etc.
But mine is seeing women's tit's exposed. And I see them in coffee shots, leaning over the screen with nipple exposed. I also see them while they bend down to pet the rare clumber. I see them on the subway "pressing" against me. They are braless and hot and have a "I don't give a shit attitude , it's the summer" I am tempted to reach for them but I am a lady and have some class. Some of them have talcom powder on them, some essential oils, some no additions, but dam those things are demanding me to reach for the bar on the train and mistakenly grab the tit. Those tankys they are wearing can non hold in the tit.
That picture kind of reminds me of the Viagra commercials, very sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy goal in life...
ReplyDeleteOne shot of saggy tits and he winds up to go for the goal.
I thought about the Corona beer commercials.
ReplyDeleteha haa.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. My first thought was... Cialis?
Huh. I just thought it was a sweet depiction of the end of summer.
ReplyDeleteThe pic that seems like a Viagra ad to me is the one that shows "Dead Woody," accompanied first by the sad-laugh wah-wah-muted trumpet followed by the rising-scale flute whistle as the bird gets up and flies out of sight.
Hey, you can take several mini-vacations or vacances at Setaukut as the year goes by. That way you won't feel such a letdown when the summer vacay is over. Try a three day weekend out there in mid-October. Absolutely beautiful in its own way. Free of charge advice from yours truly.. What a guy!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the dead woodpecker put people in mind of certain little blue pills.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of those Drudge juxtaposition thingies. Troop is messin' wif yore heads.
Nobody on the road
ReplyDeleteNobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Summer's almost over
ReplyDeleteSoon it's back to school
Soon they drain the water
Out of the swimming pool
Adopt a brand new attitude
A positive outlook
Buy yourself some pencils
And a loose-leaf notebook
Summer's almost over
A new season's coming up
Time to gird your loins
And don your jockstrap
And your cup
The hiatus is ended
The lax living has to stop
Get rid of that beer belly
Do wind sprints till you drop
Summer's almost over
September's round the bend
Temperatures are dropping
Summer love must end
The one you met upon the beach
And knew in the canoe
You must tell her at the cookout Your romance is through
Summer's almost over
Fading like a tan
Vacation time is running out
Like an unplugged fan
Labor Day is coming
Wet the old grindstone
For all those lazy, hazy,
Crazy days you must atone
Goddammit--
ReplyDeleteWHET the old grindstone!
Phyllis Diller, dead at 95. Struck down too soon.
ReplyDelete@blake: No reason to swear. I thought the double entendre was sharp cleaver. You do know that certain grindstones are wetted? Also, the knife is whetted, not the grindstone, right?

ReplyDeleteA Hard Fall's A-Gonna Reign
I can't get my mind of Troop's Moobs.
ReplyDeleteThose are the cutest things I have ever seen.
They need their own blog and we need many more troop moob pictures. They are just delectable.
Titus is a greedy omnisexual.
ReplyDeleteGreedy. GREEDY. GREEDY!
Those are the cutest things I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGive him a peek in the shorts and it's all over but the shouting.
I am sorry Mamam but I just fucking love Troops Moobs.
ReplyDeleteI never knew, and now that I do I am enamored.
They are so vulnerable, yet exposed and proud, they don't give a shit. They are like the honey badger. They are pale and exposed to the elements and they are just fucking adorable.
I am fascinated and in love with Troops Moobs, but, just to be clear, so you don't think I am a sicko, not in a sexual way at all.
They are cute but definitely don't make me hard, not to say that they are repellant because they are not that either. Just cute.
does that make sense?
And as you know the men I do actually do have to have sculpted and defined pecs and abs. I can't jizz on a non flat stomach. That is not to say that I am anti flat tummy! It just has taken me so many years to have a flat stomach, I expect and demand the same.
I would consider wrapping Troops Moobs in a nice bow with streamers and marsh mellows but that is about as sexual as I will get with them. I also wouldn't mind painting lipstick on the nips.
tits.
Titus swooned: They need their own blog and we need many more troop moob pictures. They are just delectable.
ReplyDeleteI hope Titus isn't losing loads in the mood for moobs.
I hope Titus isn't losing loads in the mood for moobs
ReplyDeleteNo doubt there s'mores where that came from. And no marshing his mellow at this point, because he just scored another Tit Tree Triumph as my mind raced to imagine what color lipstick he'd use for paint before I could stop the wheels from spinning.
Actually, before I could disengage the clutch would be a better description.
ReplyDeleteI also wouldn't mind painting lipstick on the nips.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty
/Dennis Hopper
If Troops Moobs ever needed to be baby sat I would be honored.
ReplyDeleteI would take care of the little tykes. I would feed them, put little dresses and fedora hats on them, and then have them sit at a bar and have a cocktail and smoke a Cuban cigar. I would want them to be Mexican with ponchos and big unruly mexican hair...for some weird reason, along with handlebar mustaches.
I would also want them to be capable to dance the chacha and the hustle and do the limbo-I don't know why.
That is what i would want to do with Troop's Moobs.
tits.
...have a cocktail and smoke a Cuban cigar...
ReplyDelete...holding the cigar like a pencil test or between, pushed together?
Moobius jokes never end.
ReplyDeleteThey appeal to twisted minds.
ReplyDeleteGuilty!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I was thinking of Titus.
ReplyDeletePerhaps my view was one-sided.
You need to bottle up those feelings in a little bottle. Eine kleine bottle would work perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAnd any spillage can be soaked up with a Menger sponge.
ReplyDeleteOne of those was applied to my fractaled ankle by a cantor.
ReplyDeleteJust to be clear...
ReplyDeleteA cantor set it?
Seems like I'm missing something.
Well, it's not as though he was Harnack the magnificent or anything, but the carpet was memorable. When the bone healed I took a random walk on it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it might have been Dr. Martin Gale.

Have I told you guys the Benoit Mandelbrot joke before?(Or, more likely, have you already heard it?)
ReplyDeleteThe one about Benoit balls?

@Chip: Lindsey Meadows = "Leslyn"?
ReplyDeleteI see where that might come from name-wise, but I came to like leslyn after a rocky start.
ReplyDeleteI don't see that happening with Little Miss Porno.
Benoit B. Mandelbrot = Benwah Balls Almond Bread?
ReplyDeleteI give up. Do tell.
Chip: Lindsey Meadows doesn't give off a female vibe. Nonetheless, because I believe in playing people at face value, I will not question that.
ReplyDeleteI give up. Do tell.
ReplyDeleteBut I did!
Yeah, but what does that B. stand for? I am thinkin' Julia. Okay, that was Fatou-ous.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for the joke with a microscope.
ReplyDeleteBTW, "Brownian Motion on the Sierpinski Carpet" comes from Shatless Rugged, right?
ReplyDelete“That rug really tied the room together.”
ReplyDeleteI had to google Sixty's Fatou reference.
ReplyDeleteDamn, that was erudite.
There are some really nice examples of Julia and Fatou sets on Wikipedia, which is never wrong.
ReplyDeleteI think of it as being reliable on technical stuff, b/c the trolls don't know enough to post misleading shit.
ReplyDeleteAnd most of the math stuff is lifted from Wolfram or something like that, I think.
I get that sense, too - they post actual equations and stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe need a shirt that reads "MATH". Yeah, I can see that now...
If I saw the pic by itself, I'd have thought the Julia set was a Mandelbrot set. How do they differ?
ReplyDeleteThe parameter plane of quadratic polynomials - that is, the plane of possible c-values - gives rise to the famous Mandelbrot set. Indeed, the Mandelbrot set is defined as the set of all c such that J(f_c) is connected. For parameters outside the Mandelbrot set, the Julia set is a Cantor space: in this case it is sometimes referred to as Fatou dust.
ReplyDeleteIn many cases, the Julia set of c looks like the Mandelbrot set in sufficiently small neighborhoods of c. This is true, in particular, for so-called 'Misiurewicz' parameters, i.e. parameters c for which the critical point is pre-periodic. For instance:
At c = i, the shorter, front toe of the forefoot, the Julia set looks like a branched lightning bolt.
At c = -2, the tip of the long spiky tail, the Julia set is a straight line segment.
In other words the Julia sets J(f_c) are locally similar around Misiurewicz points.[7]
Or, at least that's what I read.
Got it.
ReplyDeleteAt least for blogging purposes.

ReplyDeleteI wish you guys liked chemistry as much as math.
You ate my fractal.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd stayed awake in Math class.
ReplyDeleteIs this new math, or old math? Where'd I put my abacus?
ReplyDeleteI still have my slide rule from HS calculus class.
ReplyDeleteI pull it out once in a while to befuddle the yutes who grew up with graphing calculators, especially when one of them gets the "Shit! The battery is dead and I can't do math in my head!" look on his or her face.
Plus, sometimes when I'm reviewing someone's work and they're sitting at my desk, I'll pull the slide rule out, fuss with it for a few minutes, then look at the person and say "Hmmm. You may wish to revisit your assumptions."
ReplyDeleteThen I hand back their work and get a cup of coffee.
Twenty years of this and I haven't been shot once.

Consideration of one sidedness by ChipS?
Sixty's tiny bottle solution for holding in feelings?
No, no, in this house of mirrors it has to be something more. One of those juxtaposition thingies where someone's messin' wif yore head.
Back to 8th grade Algebra and the impatient voice of Mrs DeLang who referred to us collectively as "people" when lecturing and dispensing advice. "People, when you find yourself stuck, go back and READ the problem, READ the problem, READ the problem." Even though I spent hours reading problems, I barely passed. It didn't matter when my trains started, or how fast they traveled, they didn't make it to the station on time. Geometry, however was a another story, because there I could SEE the problem.
In geometry, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality) if it is not identical to its mirror image, or, more precisely, if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translations alone. For example, a right shoe is different from a left shoe, and clockwise is different from counterclockwise.
After reading the problem one more time with my good friend wiki at my side to serve as tutor, I finally manage to solve for X.
Then and only then, do I finally see chickelit's Chirality affirming the endlessly empowering potential of Tits!!!
Gathered along the way as side note: Today the significance of Klein's contributions to geometry is more than evident, but not because those contributions are now seen as strange or wrong. On the contrary, those contributions have become so much a part of our present mathematical thinking that it is hard for us to appreciate their novelty, and the way in which they were not immediately accepted by all his contemporaries.
I'm still mourning the death of the Mandelbrot joke.

@MamaM--Sixty's reference to a Klein bottle was a great riff on moobius strips.
ReplyDeleteThere's a beautiful book on this stuff written for a general audience. Definitely Menger sponge-worthy.
where moobius jokes morphed into jokes mocking size
ReplyDeleteIt was a morpheme.
I'm looking now at the preface to book from my grad school days called "Chemical Applications Of Group Theory" by F. Albert Cotton. Cotton's book is a classic--and so was he. I tried to memorialize him back here, though I never met the man IRL. I hope the links I put up there still work--this one was amusing.
ReplyDeleteCotton was the sort of guy Haz would have cottoned to. In the preface to the afore name book he wrote:
I have attempted to make this the kind of book which 'one can read in bed without a pencil,' as my colleague John Waugh, once aptly described another textbook which had found wide favor because of its down-to-earth character.
Kleine Bleistiffte aside, this erection season will be cruel to the crueress.
Wait....there doesn't seem to be anyway to get the liquor out of the Klein Bottle. Totally useless.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed Algebra and loved word problems (trains and all that) but really sucked at it. I knew what to do and how to solve the problems. The high school teacher was amazed that I could figure out the concepts immediately and STILL get the answer wrong.
The real issue was that I never actually memorized my times tables. Back in 4th grade, I think, I was having some troubles a the 7 times tables and when asking for help....Mrs. Walls ( that skanky bitch ) told me to stop asking her for help because I was smart enough to figure it out on my own and she needed to help the others.
"Oh. Really?!?!?!?" So I just crossed my arms and said the 4th grade equivalent of FUCK YOU. And refused to learn any more. I guess I really showed her. /DOH
Maybe part of the issue was that we traveled extensively when I was in elementary school. I went to at least 8 to 12 different schools before 4th grade. From Michigan, to Mississippi to Oregon, to California. The ones I can remember.
So even though I know WHAT to do, sometimes it takes me longer because I have to go the long way around the basic math because I don't immediately know what 7x8 actually is in my head. Damn you Mrs. Walls. Thank God for calculators.
Geometry was beautiful to me. I can see so many real world applications from making quilts to cutting out stair risers.
This [Sierpinski carpet] would be a great quilt/piecework pattern. I can see it in a mix of aqua blues, greens, indigo and some small amount of yellows. In the center I would put a batik or hand painted water color of some fish in a pale blue wash in an underwater scene with greenery flowing in the current.
ReplyDeleteThe hard geometric lines with the soft natural scene in the middle. Plus the quilting would need to enhance the geometric and be swirling to soften the natural center.
Ta da.
Everyone here has to be better at math than I was and am. I flunked Algebra, retook it and got straight A grades on the retake. But! I really do believe that was because I was crushing on the teacher big time. I retained nothing, though. Mr. Loso would be SO disappointed!

ReplyDeleteOK, everyone, I have some most excellent news to share. My tracks for the JD 40 crawler have new pins and bushings installed! Here is a picture of the crane that I built lifting one off of the trailer. Soon I will be able to share more pictures of me putting them on the machine. How exciting will that be!?
ReplyDeleteBIG BLUE
But first, I have to drill out the holes on the axles where the sprockets attach to because the threads for the JD special bolts are stripped. Tomorrow I'll pick up the drill bit that I ordered (37/64ths) and drill out the old threads, then tap new threads for 5/8ths bolts 18 TPI. B)
No wonder I can't see for shit, I still have my safety glasses on.
How exciting will that be!?
ReplyDeleteAlmost but not quite as exciting as tits but more so than moobs???
That's an impressive looking rig, a tidy barn, and some serious tread!
Sometimes the comments and characters here remind me of the "One Piece at a Time" song by Cash. Something gets built out of leftovers, spares, and special parts, one piece at a time.

ReplyDeleteNice place, as always, and I like that hoist a lot.
ReplyDeleteA woman I bought some turning tools from has one like that to load blanks onto her custom lathe. I, however, am limited to what I can lift by myself - in turning blanks and tractor parts. Okay, in all honesty, my tractor is limited too - I had to replace the traction belt the other day and I just picked up the back end of the tractor to get some blocks under it.

ReplyDelete@Allen - Impressive tracks, one guy to another!
ReplyDeleteI spent two summers while in college working at the Hein-Werner Co. in Waukesha. they built crawler mounted backhoes.
My job was laying out the track for new machines. I'd have to pick up 100 tracks per side, carry them to an assembly floor, lay them out on a chalk line, then use a 48 ounce hammer do drive the pins.
Each shoe weighed 80 pounds. I'd lay out four tracks on my shift. That's 32,000 pounds of shoe in eight hours.
I could feel every muscle and tendon in my body after working a shift. Every tendon and muscle form my fingers to my toes; in my back, chest, torso and arms. I swear. the muscles in my scalp hurt.
At the end of my second summer I asked where the regular guy was. "Medical leave" is was told.
The following year I tended bar.
Hats off to you! hard job well done.
...a great quilt/piecework pattern. I can see it...
ReplyDelete@DBQ Imagination is a two sided coin!
As clearly as lipstick on a moob, I can picture a quilt from your description, right down to the colors, lines and overall form. I might add a touch of orange in some of the yellow areas and a hint of chartreuse in a few of the greens to make it my own, but I liked the idea and the inspiration.
Some of my favorite articles in the rug and quilt magazines my mom used to pass on to me, were the ones where a group was given the same subject as a theme, or the same set of materials to use and asked to come up with their own design. The other favorites were designs derived from nature.
As much as I don't understand the math behind them, I love patterns. In the past, I've used an art pattern to encourage adults and children who didn't think they could draw or felt feeling hesitant about expressing themselves to start by putting 10 elements (1 large circle, 3 small circles, 1horizontal line, 1 jagged line etc.)anywhere they pleased on blank paper and then fill in the spaces with color and pattern. It's no exaggeration to say I've always been surprised and amazed by what they've come up with and created.
Permission and parameters: another variation of the old freedom and responsibility theme from the other high school favorite, Government 101.
@ Allen.You know what they say, Darcy, big tracks, big
ReplyDeleteBig toys for big boys. I showed my husband and he was..."WOW. Look at that...look at his shop...I want that...I hate him." In a very jealous..I want that attitude.
@ MammaM
I don't quilt as much as I used to but now that I'm semi-retired, I'm getting back into the groove. Pretty much anything I see inspires a quilt or fabric art idea. I'm getting more into the natural fabric art look and less into geometric tradition. What I love is working with the colors and textures of the fabrics to create a whole new idea that (most of the time) works well together. Combining the fabrics with hand painted and amended pieces. Less of actual functional quilts and more fabric art wall pieces.
@ Darcy.....
ReplyDeleteCountry Girl!!
DBQ...I've still working on one using a kite shape
ReplyDeletethat creates a triangle when the three kite points are together. I like it because the overall visual includes large and small triangles, depending on how you look.
Bought a new book this spring showing a technique I haven't yet tried that looks exciting and sounds similar to what I hear you describing, including the use of hand painted pieces.
