You really are going to put that in me?
It looks like they are putting the gadget in on Thursday at around eleven. It is a combination pacemaker, defibrillator, can opener and Pocket Fisherman. You see me heart doesn't just run fast it also runs slow. So this will fix me up more or less.
Also some heart meds and a new sucky diet.
Keep a good thought.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 335 of 335Whew, I had this image of Darcy on a drunken crying jag calling old boyfriends. I'm glad I can put that one away.
blake, I think there's little doubt booze is an "uninhibitor" but I believe it is still chemically a depressant. Called chick, chick report to the lab please.
I was never a tequila drinker until I started spending time in San Diego and learned about good agave elixir. There is a HUGE difference between good and cheap tequila, maybe more than any other spirit. IMO
@Nick
Yeah. I discovered that difference as well. (Fortunately or unfortunately...)
Note to self - get the good stuff...
Bob Cousy just lost his wife.
Sixty Grit said...
Checks cupboard - hmm, no tequila. Note to self - must stock up before Darcy visits.
While you're waiting, I'm putting a quart of the stuff in the trunk of my car, ready to road-trip to Sox-Tigers next week.
Tequila made my hair fall out. It wasn't a win. And it seemed to make my clothes stay on.
Who do I sue?
I can visualize Sixty w/ post-it notes all over his double wide.
Get your specs checked, you Y*nkee carpetbagger, what makes you think I could afford a double wide? Who do you think I am, a law professor?
Oh, Cody! That was sad but sweet.
El Pollo Raylan said...
That's just an image of your figmentation, methadras ;)
Or as I like to say, a Fig Newton of my imagination. I like Fig Newtons.
Cody Jarrett said...
Gosh, Meth, I don't even know who kid n play are. Or is. Or...well you know.
You didn't miss nothin'.
It sorta put me in mind of Nick.
Here, Sixty
I just listened to some kid n play. Kinda reminds me of Crackers. Except they have musical sense.
Did Crackers actually say "phony smart, like Ted Cruz"?
Cruz? Honors student at two ivy league schools? The guy who Dershowitz said is probably the smartest student he ever had?
Really? A bitter unemployed failed rapper failed lawnboy feels comfortable judging the intelligence of someone who's so much smarter than he is Cruz would have to be about 3.8 on the breathalyzer to even say something halfway as stupid as some of Crackers' most intelligent stuff?
What a joke. A sad bitter joke.
Most drugs seem to follow the pattern of "small amount->stimulant, large amount->depressant, larger amount->fatal".
With alcohol, it's less linear and more complex than that. It appears as if the "notion" that alcohol is a depressant hasn't been challenged so much as expanded to include the view that: Alcohol is more than simply a depressant. From Psychology Today, 2010, Your Brain on Alcohol, which includes the infamous picture oft posted here regarding the end result of may or may not tequila festuvities.
Along with this from Forbes, 2012: We hear many different things about how alcohol affects the brain and body, most notably that it is a depressant. That’s only part of the story. Alcohol is a depressant, but it’s also a sort of indirect stimulant, and plays a few other roles that might surprise you.
What Alcohol Really Does to Your Brain
Both articles support the anecdotal experiences posted and Nick's observation.
What's better than a fig newton? A tequila infused fig newton.
LOL. I did laugh, MamaM.
And there I am.
I'm glad we didn't Meade the cafe post at TOP.
Why is that?
I did laugh...
So did I when it showed up with the article! Ol' Trooper gets around.
Wait until his restless brain starts getting even more oxygen and his activity deprived fingers start walking again!
Thanks again to Nick for doing the footwork necessary to get the gifts delivered with style and grace!
@Icepick
Because we have positive, lovely interaction going on here and at Lem's. Why do what Meade did?
Fer kix, Darcy. Kix and laffs.
5-6-8 people, all posting under the same name?
But really, we probably have better things to do.
blake said...
Darce--
You should always read my posts to the end.
I'm a big fan of the twist. And the stinger.
I'm a big fan of the SHOCKER!!! Two in the pink, one in the stink. Ha-chachachachacha...
Because we have positive, lovely interaction going on here and at Lem's. Why do what Meade did?
Revenge!
Laughs!
Because we're dicks!
Seriously, do we need a reason?
I keep worrying about who's minding the store. Well, we shall find out soon enough. Hope there's some trusted relative or friend who is keeping it running at a minimal level till Troop is back in the saddle again.
No, it would have been funny to have a bunch of fionamcgillicuddy posts. I did think that was clever.
Maybe I'm too prideful. I don't want to give them the opportunity to whine more.
And now I am thirsting for a cherry McGillicuddy's. :)
With tequila?
That actually sounds yummy.
And I talk a big game. I am a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. A couple of beers or a couple of glasses of wine and I'm good. If I have two martinis I have had too much.
I do like to sip tequila, though. But it is wicked stuff for me so I will usually ponder it for a few seconds and say "no, thanks". Usually. :)
Meth--that just seems awkward to me.
What's a Crackers?
Very interesting articles on alcohol MamaM
Most drugs seem to follow the pattern of "small amount->stimulant, large amount->depressant, larger amount->fatal".
I concur with this. I have to be a bit more careful when I'm drinking since I become even MORE outspoken with a few drinks. The little gatekeeper in my head that stops you from blurting out every thought or from instantly coming back on someone with a verbal slice or a cutting joke.....that guy seems to have gone off the job and if I don't watch it I can say the 'worst' things and blurt out the truth of what I am really thinking.
My husband thinks this is really funny and a good thing. When we were first dating we would get together with a couple of his friends and begin debating or talking about political or other topics. After my speechifying, he would laugh and say "So...don't hold back...what do you really think." I guess I won him with my opinionated debating...and good cooking and some other (ahem) attributes.
We really enjoy our afternoons on the deck with a few cocktails and some spirited conversation on topics that are all over the place.
Too much alcohol or drugs of any kind, however....not so good. Know your limits. As we get older our limits are more.....limited.
:-)
It would be fun if a commenter named Titus Emcee showed up at TOP. Talk about being conflicted......
Two martinis and I'm wobbly. A full strength martini is wicked strong.
...fun if a commenter named Titus Emcee showed up at TOP.
And sign out "Tits and Crack?"
Yeah, they are, ricpic.
Baron Titus Emcee Bissage McGee.
ricpic, Lisa's daughter came up to help @ the store.
Martini's are like boobs, one isn't enough and 3 are too many. That's old and stale as hell..I know.
I never heard that, Nick, and I have damn near total recall.
Also, "Total Recall" fans might object to the notion that "three are too many".
I'm thinking of taking up smoking and drinking. Anyone got any pointers?
Don't!
Do, just save some for the rest of us.
Hahaha.....pointers.
Don't encourage us, Darcy - we are just barely civilized as is.
See I might read that then write something like "I have tequila", and that would be wrong. On so many levels...
That's what the vendor in the silver shop in Mexico said as I walked by! He was offering to pour me a shot of vanilla tequila. I made a purchase.
Ahem.
I've figured out the importance of tequila, sure.
And I figured cigars, maybe.
Just so much to choose from, you know?
Baron Titus Emcee Bissage McGee Mahal.

Start signing your posts "SHOCKER".
These threads spin round and round. A click on Cody's link to the Scything Woman produced a lead to Juggling with Axes which fit with the Dwarves with Mattocks theme, and yielded two videos, one of the dwarves performing feats with axes and the other of a guy juggling 9 balls.
@spinelli
I'm way too lazy to read older posts, I'd like to throw some lettuce into the Big Guy's good wishes, shits & giggles pot. How do I go about it?
I can only juggle 5.
Cannot juggle chainsaws. So don't ax me to.
Cohiba cigars are good.
Baron Titus Emcee Bissage McGee Mary Mahal Grit.
Seriously, do we need a reason?
Here's a reason not to: It hurts a narcissist far more to be ignored than to be attacked. She can pride herself on provoking ignorant h8rs, but she can't stand being considered irrelevant.
The deep decline in her traffic (seasonal adjustment factors notwithstanding) seems to have made her really want to regain a large commentariat.
So, why help her do that?
I'd go over there just to tell her to stop sending me the doggone selfies every day.
Over time that Univ of Wisconsin "W" has started to look like the Grand Canyon.
I'd like to trust it to implode on its own. The Oop is already winding up for more contentious interactions. I don't think she'll be able to hold her horses. Ritmo either, as he's been champing at the bit to find someone to argue with and put down over at Lem's.
Drama drives up her numbers, she needs it to survive when the Fine Piquanty Sauce being served up isn't enough to keep the crowds swarming for more of her original recipe.
BJM, Thanks. Since the gifts have already been sent, I would suggest maybe sending a card or maybe a porn magazine to the big boy @ the store[Lee Lee's Valise] on Court St.

I'm so tickled that I linked that video because you keep getting good riffs from it.
ChipS, Absolutely. She is an easy read. Annie was in her smug, narcissistic way PLEADING for bad boys and girls to come over for drama and hits. What she got..an Inga fest. Karma is a mofo. And, that coward Inga has not showed her face @ TOOP since she jumped the whale and emailed my bride.
And, that coward Inga has not showed her face @ TOOP since she jumped the whale and emailed my bride.
She was just there, on the the kayak thread.
The Amazon post just prior to the plea for help was a big clue as to what was going on.
Thanks.
@MamaM: I think deborah was amused at my linking the Calgon commercial on her thread the other night.
I followed that link and what did I spy? A bunch of real nice, traditional shaped wooden bowls. Always good to see work that nice. Thanks for the link, MamaM!
Nick - Inga emailed your wife?? Wha.......?
Yes. Not only did she threaten to have my license revoked for calling her names but sue me as her daughter is a lawyer.
Nick - Alcohol. Count on it.
Oh, BTW Nick, Final Score:
Tampa 2
Boston 12
The Rays seem to have cooled off just a wee bit.
Haz, Is she a drinker? I mean I know she drinks but does she have alcohol "issues" along w/ all the others?
Unless she is licensed under some name, she's lying about being an RN. Maybe that's why she's gone crazier than usual. Will Lem give her the boot? I don't know the guy. He doesn't like me. Maybe I ripped him @ TOP some time, I don't remember. But, when folks kissed her ass, I RIPPED!
ChipS, It looks like some pitcher in the Pen did an ARod, "I got it." That shook the rookie OF and turned the game. Not sour grapes, I've told you my feelings on the BoSox. But, I said Rays in 5, that was 1.
Yeah Sixty.
Robin makes bowls the old fashioned way. Foot powered lathe, cuts on the back and the forth.
Cool to watch him work. And he's a really nice guy. Really cares about helping people and spreading the old fashioned hand made bug.
Nick - I don't know for certain, but the behavior, anger and craziness suggest the possibility.
LPN perhaps?
I understand all that, amigo, but what I'm sayin is that the Rays didn't look all that battle-hardened today.
Rook fell for an old trick. TBS wants to talk about it cuz o/w it was a no-drama day.
@Codes, oh, he is THE Robin Wood - I bought his book years ago and read it every year - it's just that good. He knows his stuff and I really appreciate the amount of research he has done on traditional bowl turning.
Have you met him? If so, where?
I was finish turning a bowl today and I ended up with a feature that kind of reminded me of bowls in his book. I took a right angle grinder and turned the feature into sawdust, but for one brief moment I had a more traditional looking bowl in my shop.
No they didn't look forged in fire," did they.
Sixty, I haven't "met" him in person but we've had several long email exchanges whenever I come up with some stupid question to ask him about bowls or spoons.
His oldest daughter has picked up some of his habits, she carves a mean spoon with hatchet and knife only.
There's a funny picture of her on the living room floor carving the bowl of a spoon, surrounded by chips and shavings, headphones on watching Glee on her laptop.
I use a gouge with a fingernail grind and yesterday while turning a deep pin oak bowl I was well down inside the bowl and the angle of the tool reminded me of the drawings and pictures in his book - some things never change.
I kind of like being part of that continuum.
someday I'm gonna rig up a pole lathe and give it a try. Or better--visit someone that's got one and use theirs for a day.
It's a nice thing about the UK these days--they're taking this old timey thing to heart. There's a guy who's able to rent a small storefront in London, sit in the window and carve spoons while the double decker buses roll by. People pop in and buy and everyone's happy.
I'm starting a pool on when Inga returns to TOOP from her "I'm leaving" self imposed exile. But, first I have to make sure she leaves.
Not only did she threaten to have my license revoked for calling her names but sue me as her daughter is a lawyer.
Certified nut case. Been there done that.
I copied a several exchanges from her just because they were so ridiculous. I don't normally do this copying but this was so weird. And.... a very cool poem by MamaM.
Pasted below:
First weirdness
Her Garage I saw Dust Bunny's Audie Murphey blog. I find it very strange that she is so obsessed with me and my family. It is coming VERY VERY close to being stalked. I am going to show my youngest daughter who is an attorney , her blog and see what can be done, if anything, it's just plain creepy.
Me: "Wow. Truly insane.
I have two blogs and have better things to do than to create a third blog about a piece of human waste such as you."
THEN:
Her: So, if it isn Dust Bunny I apologize.Bit my daughter has seen the blog and the comments here on Althouse, she agrees about the possibility of cyberstalking. We are looking into it further
Me: "Fuck off.
Cyberstalking is when we come to you and track you personally down all over the internet to try to cause you harm. We don't know who the hell you are because you are anonymous here. But I'm pretty sure I know what you are. Insane.
Just getting your grannie panties in a wad because you can't keep up to speed on a public blog that YOU chose to haunt is not cyber stalking you dimwitted menopausal bint."
As an added bonus....MamaM's fabulous poem when Mito Alli (her name then) was being a cowlike slut and mooing at the men.
Hearts of Gold
Shoot arrows
Tipped with
Aricept
For the kill.
Fun loving
Wholesomeness
Barely hides
Coyote fur &
Spotted coats
Cows that type
While lowing
Leave the barn
Filled with
Methane gas
As I said. Not normally do I copy this shit...but it was just too strange. The woman is seriously deranged and probably needs some help.
December 5th 2011....geez....she has been insane for quite some time now.
MamaM is a very good poet.

I'll never win that pool because it never works. That dirty drunken dish rag is just a nuclear bomb waiting to pop. She is a seriously deranged nutjob.

I bet fionamcgee turns up soon, to take up the slack.
And Dinga was gone all of eleven minutes.
Someone needs a to create a new spray: "Bitch Be-Gone". We could spray it all over the intertubez and make things a little more pleasant.
Nick, how'd Inger get that email address? Could she have read it here?
Haz, No, this happened a while back. She emailed to Leslyn's book website.
@ndspinelli
That is looney tunes.
I appreciate your warning to me awhile back.
Sorry your wife had to deal with that BS.
she has been insane for quite some time now.
DBQ, the poem was a fun find, the rest not so much. That one has been Fomenting Trouble since the first "moo".
This is one of the reasons I don't even bother posting--or barely reading--at Lem's.
Too much drama. I get sucked into the drama.
So I have to avoid the drama.
And all this talk about cows and mooing...are you guys saying Inga is EBL?
/sarc
Heh.
Nice, Nick, in the thread at TOOP where the oop showed her ass.
Glad to see Lem is still a quivering mass of bullshit flavored jelly.
I know, I'm not supposed to say anything mean about Lem. But when he protects oop--especially when confronted by actual off-line threats--I'd say he deserves a little mocking.
But that's me, and it's why I try to limit going by his jernt.
Out of curiosity though--what was it that Sixty said about Cracky McGee that got Bags so worked up?
I miss all the best lines.
That one has been Fomenting Trouble since the first "moo".
No shit. Now she seems on a mission to shill for Althouse.
I've given up responding to the demented twat, Inga, because all she wants to do is to drag you into the muck with her.
I couldn't resist however resurrecting that old exchange from when she was attacking me. She hasn't changed her method or her tune.
A one trick psychotic pony.
It would be difficult for many to believe, and I understand it, but I am by nature an easygoing guy. That said, I have seen people who try and avoid conflict, thinking it to be Ghandi like["I love Bollywood"], are sorely mistaken. Now, some avoid it for emotional reasons, having been beaten down or seen uncontrolled, violent conflict, or they're just meek by nature. I have empathy for them. But, the ones who avoid it for sanctimonious reasons I reject. But, the results are the same no matter what the reason for avoiding conflict. I don't seek conflict[well most of the time!], but I am not averse to it. I prefer venues like this where there is little, if any conflict.
From what you all say, it appears Lem is in the former category. The problem is you can't sponsor a blog and be that way. Because, people of her ilk will hurt the good people and drive them away. So, if it's not your personality then you need to assign someone who can deal w/ it. Lem has a unique situation in that he has guest bloggers. He could wash his hands of it, and merely appoint a guest blogger to handle it. Not handling it is unacceptable. Maybe a guest blogger will offer their services.
The more I think about it, I think booze was a factor last night. As I said, after emailing my wife she disappeared for a couple weeks. She rolled the dice last night w/ the help of "Balls in a bottle." She crapped out.

I have a special blog post scheduled for you at 1 PM EST. Hold your horses, Lester.
chick, Can I hold my Johnson instead? What about your Johnson? NTTAWWT.
Is that a Lester Bangs reference? Lester was an Escondido man.
Escondildo (as we call it) is a drive-by town.
Maybe what Chick meant to say was "don't get your cheese all in a curd"?
No whey, Cody, you read my mind.
Spectacular! It just occurred to me.
BTW I liked the one you dropped at EBL about "daley occurrences".
Escondido is where I get my firewood. Of course, that's rural Escondido. I've never been downtown.
"Escondildo" even translates into Spanish if you parse it. I love bilingual puns. They are an acquired taste for sure.
I get my firewood from a neighbor and he gets it from downed trees. It's the arboreal equivalent to road kill.
The comment I deleted was something along the lines of calling Cracker a concern troll and suggesting his time would be better spent looking for a job.
The portion that got PC Pussy Lem bent out of shape and brought Bag o' Shit to a frenzy was the line "And thank your mother for digging the ditch", referring of course, to Cracker's insistence that he was raised by ex-slaves.
Sure, he can call my mother names, but say one thing about that useless fool's momma and all hell breaks loose. Fuck him, fuck Lem, fuck Bags - they are all on the Inga-go-round.
Speaking of which, did you see where she was whining about someone's actual name being used on the interwebs? Didn't her boyfriend Meade out a lot of people's names, including Luther Pimpwalker, among others? She is a whack job.
"And thank your mother for digging the ditch"
Wow, that there's some good stuff! That's gotta be 190 proof vitriol! I gotta get me some popcorn! And, perhaps maybe, I need to get a replacement for my ! key because I'm wearing it out like a ten dollar whore when the fleet comes in!
His victim shtick has grown tedious. His lies are a tangled mess. Does he even know who his parents are? Some days he does, some days he doesn't.
My comment is based on his claim that slaves built the entire infrastructure in this country. Only slaves. No one else, just African slaves.
Also, I stole the idea from a Duke lacrosse player - as Crystal Gail Mangum was leaving their party house she was using racial epithets (racial epitaphs in the local vernacular) and one of the Duke guys said "Yeah, right, and be sure to thank your grandfather for my cotton shirt". Steal from the best is what I always say. I think that particular guy was from Jersey.
Anyway, there was a big stink about his comment, not about her lies, and blah blah blah - bottom line, Cracker, we have heard your kind of bullshit before and it's still bullshit.
But I guess I dare not mention it, lest Lem the puta get the vapors.
Didn't Inga publish Methadras' name recently? I forget where and when and whether it's still up.
I have no problem with Lem's deletion in that thread. I prolly would have don the same.
I thought it was Meade that wrote Meth's government.
What did Lem delete? He is a big pussy and fuck him, but I guess I didn't read the whole thing closely enough to notice what that puta may have deleted.
I need more insults in Spanish. Work with me here...
He deleted Spinelli's recitation of her full name and misspelling.
I need more insults in Spanish. Work with me here...
I know all the bad ones in Italian. Probably similar to Spanish.
Aw damn - I missed that. Funny how he didn't delete Luther's full name or Meth's, either.
Puta! Is that Italian?
And all this talk about cows and mooing...are you guys saying Inga is EBL?
Inga as Mito-Oop was in the stall when EBL was birthed.
Seriously? I never connected those dots.
I am in Dry Ridge, Kentucky after a long day of riding in the rain. The one thing I want in Dry Ridge, Kentucky is a beer. Or a margarita and some nachos. Do you know what I cain't git in Dry Ridge, fucking Kentucky? Alcohol. The satan spirit. Pepsi and nachos. Effing horrible.
A thing I learned today while stopped at the KY tourism roadside thingamajig is that while they are happy to direct me to places where fine whiskey is distilled, the don't like being asked where the state jelly is made.
Fuckers need a drink.
Inga as Mito-Oop was in the stall when EBL was birthed.
That's why I put the /sarc in there, so everyone knew I wasn't being at all serious.
Good stuff, Sixty. And yes--fuck Lem (I'm way out front with that attitude) and Bags too.
And yeah--Lem didn't delete anything Meade said (Meade deleted his own shit) where he was outing people all over the place.
Meh. See what I mean? I get all caught up in the drama.
The injustice of the bullshit makes me crazy.
The injustice of the bullshit makes me crazy.
Injustice and dishonesty drive me nuts too.
I saw the "sarc" warning Cody, just wasn't sure when you first appeared at AA in your executive mode and whether you were hanging around The Barn for the Original Moooove which had since been repeated in two other places and is now going on again, with Spinelli in the cross hairs this time around. Actually, What's going down this time has more of a "Squeal" quality to it than a Moo. With the interim gamed played out TY's involving a ROAR, as in the Big Bear, The All Powerful Woman who Speaks for ALL Women, accompanied by a Royal Wee.
Haz, Looks like a flask is in order for Christmas. Won't help you tonight, though.
I know they give free samples @ the Wild Turkey distillery.
Louisville is a good wet town. The Louisville Slugger factory tour is great.
Keeneland is open, they have good horses running.
I explained my problem to my Mexican waiter. He sold me two beers from his car after dinner, on my way back to the motel. I made sure there was a good mark-up.
You bet - that beer had to be smuggled across the border - you think that kind of effort is cheap? Ha!
Now I'm imaging a Mexican remake of Smokey & the Bandit. Directed by Rodriguez, with Haz as the rich guy wanting some Dos Eqis. Unsure of the rest of the cast except the Selma Hayak and Danny Trujilo need to be in there somewhere. Perhaps Merde as the midget sidekick and Dinga as Beaulah T. Justice, chasing everyone recklessly, insisting that she's really an undercover border patrol agent and everyone needs to stop using her real name.
Icepick - you need to add in the Boss Hog and deputy Roscoe P. Coltrane characters.
And Darcy needs to be Daisy Duke, because.
Well are we making Smokey and the Bandit or are we making the Dukes of Hazzard?
I kinda think Darcy would be better as the Sally Field character in Smokey. Once she settled down she was actually pretty cool.
Now, if we want to discuss swapping wardrobe....
I wanna be the Jerry Reed character. I love the idea of driving my Kenworth (and yes, I own a Kenworth) over a bunch of worthless motorcycles.
Plus I have the sidekick dog.
OTOH, if we're doing the Dukes...I wanna be Cooter. Cuz I may be crazy but I ain't dumb.
Maybe we can just do a re-make of The Love Boat?
Troop is the captain, natch.
Darcy can be Julie the cruise director.
And we have the token black guy that can be Isaac the bartender.
Chick as Doc?
So all that's left is who's gonna be Gopher?
Three hundred and thirty third!
That means you're half the devil.
