THHHEEERRREEEE BBBAAAACCCKKKK!!!

Yes we decided to take another couple of days at Seatuck. We need to relax and chill out a little because we were running on empty.

Spent the day by the pool relaxing and reading our Kindles.

So try not to get along.

And where does the chickelit find himself roosting in this mess o' pottage?

Others missing from the list include:

Windbag who is back, winning the girl while contemplating the next double Cheeburger.

John who seems to blow in when the wind (and pics) are right, to settle some hash and swirl TY dust around.

TT who pipes the flute and sounds the occasional trumpet to rally the troops and back up the chorus as needed, adding his unique embellishments to special situations involving pomp and circumstance.

dbp who seems to drop by unexpectedly every now and then, to ring the doorbell, hand off some interesting reading material and sometimes stay for a cup of something shared before taking off again on rounds.

RCocean who quietly appears to move in and out like the tide leaving something behind on the beach.

RcommaL who adds an additional layer of mystery along with musical back-up, when not being unfairly accused of debauchery or pointed out to be someone she's not.

With numerous other unnamed readers silently swelling the page views.

Since this place has long been a house of mirrors, who knows what's going to happen, or who is going to trust whom.

This blog has been going on and on for a while though through as assortment of changes. I hope it continues to grow, morph, and evolve as needed. Best wishes to the founder and his beloved! Rest up, recharge and return!; August 14, 2012 at 3:48 AM

It's amazing how little you've managed to learn about conservatives from your SiL. Why is that? Have you just hit a stage of life where your mind is impervious to new thoughts?; August 14, 2012 at 4:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Chip, I listen to all who have something to say. I don't accept everything from anyone. I don't think I am better judge of right and wrong than most people, nor do I negate my own instincts and life experiences when I recognize that some things that good, decent and intelligent people say are just plain wrong and misguided.

We all have to live in out own skins and be true to our core beliefs Chip. My thoughts, political and other ways are never stagnant, I'm open to new thought, some would say too much so.; August 14, 2012 at 4:08 PM

Dust Bunny Queen said...: The stinginess part was not buying the hook to begin with, because hey had an unrealistic expectation that everyone at the park would be responsible.

What is unrealistic about expecting people to obey the rules or take the consequences. I guess you think we should foresee every stupid thing that someone might do, spend thousands of dollars just in case that one moron decides to commit suicide by stupidity?

Instead of spending the TAXPAYER dollars to the benefit of the majority, instead of all of it on the Darwin reject.

We wouldn't need the 'hook' if the dope paid attention to the rules.; August 14, 2012 at 4:35 PM
blake said...: I'm not gonna pile on you, Allie, at least not that way.

But I'm curious about this:

I don't think I am better judge of right and wrong than most people,

The entire premise of progressivism-cum-statism is that there ARE better judges, that they WILL be elected, and that they WILL, impartially and without regard to their own concerns, be best able to decide for others.

I can't reconcile that with your statement.; August 14, 2012 at 4:39 PM
Chip S. said...: Allie, I was referring to your comment in the thread you directed us to, about the Dragon's Mouth.

But since you've linked to another of your quotes, let's talk about it:

Limbaugh's world is a selfish hard place

Are you unaware of Rush's efforts on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society? This year he gave $400,000 himself, and his greedy, selfish, Randroid listeners contributed $3 million in total. Same thing in 2011, with Rush giving $500,000 personally.

Oh, and heartless Mitt Romney gave 15% of his income to charity in 2010. Our President With a Heart gave a whopping 1%.

This has nothing to do with you and I having different views. This is a matter of slandering people you disagree with.; August 14, 2012 at 4:40 PM
windbag said...: I don't give a flying fuck about anything said over at TOP, but on the issue of Dems versus Repubs and philanthropy, Chip is right. Study after study after study demonstrates the truth that Dems are selfish compared to Repubs.

Anecdotal evidence: In the 2004 election season we were visiting my bro-in-law over Halloween. We all went out trick-or-treating in their very affluent neighborhood. The houses with Bush signs were giving out multiple pieces of candy, full-sized candy bars, and 9mm Glocks (okay, I made that up).

Most (maybe all...memory ain't what it used to be) of the houses with Kerry signs had no lights on and wouldn't answer the door. My bro-in-law and I entertained ourselves by yelling, "Open up and let us help you redistribute the wealth!" at all the Dem households.

Dems and libs are selfish children. "Sharing" other people's stuff isn't sharing at all. It's stealing. It goes beyond the basic functions of government when taxation is used to punish productivity and reward slothfulness.; August 14, 2012 at 4:48 PM
Michael Haz said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; August 14, 2012 at 4:51 PM
Anonymous said...: Chip, the quote that was used by Chickie in the Dragons Mouth thread was from my comment that I just linked to. Did I slander Rush Limbaugh? Or did I express my opinion of him based on what I've heard him say on the radio?

I never mentioned Romney or Ryan Chip.

It good of Rush to contribute to charities, but by his own words he would not be averse to letting the dumbasses of our society drag their kids into harms way without any safety net, for those innocent of dumbassery.

Sometimes life happens to innocent people who by no fault of their own need society to come to their rescue, sometimes undeserving people get rescued too, we can do better.

Ah well, we've been through all this before.; August 14, 2012 at 4:53 PM
windbag said...: DBQ: I guess you think we should foresee every stupid thing that someone might do, spend thousands of dollars just in case that one moron decides to commit suicide by stupidity?

A woman asked to “speak to the owner” the other day in my popsicle stand. I recognized her immediately. She’s been a fairly regular customer over the years. She is a tutor in my kids’ school.

She’s an idiot.

I went over and she told me that a post in my parking lot needed to be covered with rubber, because it scratched her truck when she hit it. That’s right, she hit a stationary object with her vehicle, and it’s my fault that her truck got damaged. So many things ran through my head that I could have said, including thanking her for letting me know who to tell the police to contact about the vandalism to my property. I did the gracious thing and thanked her for letting me know about the situation.

My property tax dollars pay this idiot’s salary. Why can’t I get a refund?

She displayed the liberal, childish mindset perfectly. The world is inherently dangerous, so we have to cover everything in rubber and round every corner, so that no one gets hurt. Ignore personal responsibility, and the need to exercise common sense, as we navigate our way through each day. Someone, somewhere, somehow, needs to make a law, put up a sign, cover a sharp edge, barricade a potential hazard, or some other measure to save us from hurting ourselves.

That’s a dim view of humanity. That’s the liberal perspective. Yet they’re the respectful, kind, loving, comapssionate ones, according to the MSM.; August 14, 2012 at 4:54 PM

windbag said...: Progressives are the modern word for liberals. And yes, they do think they know better than everyone else, which is why they push for centralized planning. Confiscate as much property as possible from the people, decide who is going to be a winner and who is going to be a loser, and redistribute the loot accordingly, taking your share in the process.

You see, on Twitter you pretend to be all outraged by "the Libs" and take serious opposition to what you take seriously very seriously (I'm sorry did that sound like double speak?)

But when it all comes to your sconie buddy Allie, your feigned attitude evaporates. Poof! I don't get why you're like that. I don't get why you're not like that with garage. In fact, there is a lot about you that I don't "get."

I thought the same thing. There are some sparks and drama here, but I haven't seen anything I'd call trolling.

@ Chip. My daughter lives very near you in SF. I need to go down to see the grandson before he starts growing a beard. Joking. He is 18 months. BUT. Damn.... the rooms in SF are so expensive. They don't have a guest room. I'm thinking to stay in Mill Valley and drive over the Golden Gate Bridge. It's only about 15 miles.

Just because we disagree on political issues doesn't make it trolling. Calling names and getting rude is not a good thing, but I would think that at THIS place we can be civil and discuss philosophical points.; August 14, 2012 at 7:43 PM

Dust Bunny Queen said...: Yah. The prices for housing and apartments are insane. My daughter and hubby have a sweet deal. A nice two bedroom flat in a good neighborhood for only $2800 a month. All remodeled with a gourmet kitchen. The property is owned by a friend and his wife who have moved back to the Napa/Sonoma area and wanted to get 'good renter'. Since they were all good friends from college, they got a good price.

If I were still living in my studio apartment in SF, which is rent controlled, I would be paying $120 a month. Probably over $1800 a month now LOL...shows how long ago that was. The landlord would probably have figured out how to off me so they could raise the rent and you would see me on one of those crime re-enactment shows.

Ha.; August 14, 2012 at 8:47 PM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: No. Rooms by the night. I can only stay for 3 days. Plus, they are both working too. In SF rooms are $250 to 300 a night. Gag!! On Priceline there are some nice hotels and motels in the area just north of the GG Bridge for half that.

As long as it is clean, beds comfy, no bed bugs, safe neighborhood....who cares. Your eyes are closed at night anyway.; August 14, 2012 at 8:51 PM

Titus said...: I am watching a program about frogs.

Because of climate change frogs are "croaking" and some of the males are becoming shims and are being fucked by other males and those males are now laying eggs. Kind of like prison.

They had videos of male or tranny frogs being fucked by the male frog and the tranny is now laying eggs.

When I was younger I read that you could get high from licking a frog. So of course I went out and licked every frog I could find...but no high.

What kind of frogs do you use for Frog Legs in the Wisconsin Supper Club? They call them "saddles". They are supposed to taste like chicken.

Save The Frogs.

Titus said...: That shim frog just "laid" there as the the male frog mounted him. The shim was a total bottom. But not even a bossy bottom. More like a boring bottom. Even the male who was doing the fucking looked bored.

The MIT Professor below me, who is a total freak, just frantically knocked on my Penthouse door. There is some moisture in his unit and now we all have to meet the plumbers tomorrow morning. I am not going to say his name because it is all over the internet but he is a total basket case. He is straight but looks like a fag and is a nervous Nelly. He also pets the rare clumber in a weird way-you know like a person who has never had any contact with a dog. His knock was even freaky and frantic.; August 14, 2012 at 10:56 PM

MamaM said...: Hah! The hinting, quizzing and picture posting of trolls, gnomes and fairies failed to name or take into consideration the work of the grindylows, known to infest mirrors and blogs.

A grindylow or grundylow is a folkloric creature...The name is thought to be connected to Grendel,a name or term most famously used in Beowulf but also found in many Old English charters where it is seen in connection with meres, bogs and lakes.

Grindylows are said to grab little children with their long sinewy arms and drown them if they come too close to the water's edge. Grindylows have been seen as a bogeyman used as a ploy to frighten children away from pools, marshes or ponds where they could drown.

Is it possible those soulless conservatives too cheap to buy a pole might actually be grindylows? Then again, strange mirrored reflections and disappearances keep happening to good people on this blog, so who knows?

Reading today brought a quote I'd not heard before. I liked it because I saw it expanding the grace and truth theme. It also covered some of the topics mentioned above regarding generosity, privilege and responsibility.

"Be on guard against science without humanity, politics without principle, knowledge without character, wealth without work, commerce without morality, pleasure without consciousness, and work without sacrifice"; August 15, 2012 at 8:34 PM

chickelit said...: The Swiss folklore has the ancient legend of the Böögg which actually made its way into our language as the orginal "bogey man" (not to be confused with boogie woogie). The Böögg terrorized Swiss children's imaginations and parents used threats like "the Böögg will get you and take you away in a gunny sack if you're bad." Sort of reverse Santa Claus psychology in this country [hmmm, I wonder if that explains..]; August 15, 2012 at 9:39 PM
chickelit said...: OMG that Crack is just bent over backwards with hatred for Mitt Romney. Now he just randomly attacks Althouse commenters who support R&R.

I rewrote "The Parable Of Crack" based on Nietzsche's "The Parable Of The Madman" I don't think I'll publish it for a while though. Let him really show his madness...'til it's obvious to all.; August 15, 2012 at 9:46 PM
Titus said...: My hubby is from northern India originally. His grand dad hung out with Gandhi, but not in a gay way like that South African muscle head did. His family are and were and are major caste players in India. Every citizen in India can tell just by looking at him he is high caste. But he doesn't "flaunt" it. It just is. If that was me and I would be yelling at every lower caste piece of shit to get down on their knees and worship the higher caste hog. I keep telling him I want that fucking dowry, but to no avail.

But at the age of 9 he moved to Scarborough England. Both his parents were Math Professors.
Went to boarding school in Manchester, then Oxford and MIT. Contract stints in Perth for work, then Singapore, back to London, Chicago, Chestnut Hill, PA, then Quincy, Mass, back to Bangalore for a year working and living with his father and their two fabulous compounds, and now back in the U.S.

I would call him more a citizen of the world.

Titus said...: I mean hello, I do do third world for a little nasty nasty, but when it comes to marriage and life forever I am going to choose and be selected by society.

I have had pilots, international book publishers, doctors, lawyers, professors, VC divas, farmers and even horse breeders want my hand in marriage....but they weren't hot enough. They really have to be hot sexy and rich. Is that asking for so much? My husband covers all the bases. Wicked hot, fabulous education, superior family, whip smart, great body and filthy rich.

Don't get me wrong. I love wicked poor, totally stupid, no education, blue collar, perhaps wears a uniform to work or even a orange vest with no shirt underneath...but that is just sex. I am not actually going to talk to them.

And if they drive a truck or a service van or even a nissan I will do them!

Just a little jerky jerky, some kissings, cum and bed time.

Actually, you could call us really vanilla.

If I want something more spectacular and nasty I will need to venture out.

Also, when the hubby and I are doing it the rare clumber is nearby watching or observing a little and I find that disturbing.; August 16, 2012 at 12:19 AM

MamaM said...: the rare clumber is nearby watching or observing a little and I find that disturbing.

Yes, I'm familiar with the "observing a little look", half puzzled and quizzical, half salivatory, with a hesitant ever hopeful bubble above the head that reads "Dogpile???"; August 16, 2012 at 12:39 AM

Chip S. said...: Did you ask who does the panting in that household?

I think they all do.; August 16, 2012 at 1:15 AM
chickelit said...: Well yes that and also who wears out the panting.

The other Chip at TOP seems a tad upset tonight about meanness. I suspect it's about the Fen/Crack friction.

He seems like a fairly bright guy as well but I associate him with aloofness--rarely interacting directly with commenters as such. This I find it odd.; August 16, 2012 at 1:23 AM
Chip S. said...: Is he hearing-impaired? I ask that b/c he often writes about ASL.

I imagine that might induce someone to become more of an observer and less of an interacter except in a close circle of friends. Maybe that carries over to his TOP commentary.

But you're right, chick. I would never simply post a comment asking him what he meant by something.; August 16, 2012 at 1:29 AM
Chip S. said...: I just looked at the comment you referred to, chick. I read it as a reference to a falling-out over politics. I think he's mentioned before how closed-mindedly pro-Obama some of his friends are.

I'm thinking this might be a TOP bleedthrough, with the comment intended for the one known as TOC. But I recommend the cure, having partaken myself of the bounty. The garden tomatoes are outstanding, begging to be enjoyed by anyone with a wagging or flagging tale.; August 16, 2012 at 12:12 PM

MamaM said...: ...All the shots of her are @ a distance and from above. Hides the chins and paunch. I've seen her recently

I'm all for at "a distance and above" to hide chins and paunch. While I refuse to say how many chins accompany me, I admit to a paunch but really don't care to have a photo of it beamed over the internet for the sake of full disclosure. Close up photos of the feet on women over sixty are generally not a good idea either. Mine, unfortunately, which used to be lovely and garnered compliments back in the day, are starting to look like my mom's, who at 92 and 115 lbs still has a bit of a paunch. Though she's so hunched over with osteoarthritis now, it's harder to see.

I like seeing pictures of people I know having a good time and enjoying themselves. The photos at TOP are still one of my favorite features. They seem to invite a broader range of commenters and make a nice change from the political slanging.; August 16, 2012 at 10:40 PM
