So do I.  It's just so damn handsome, I can't even walk down the street without women throwing themselves at me.  In some neighborhoods, men too.

years ago, wife & i went to Paris. we kept having to pass through the same area of cafes to get from point to point due to the location of our rental.

the first couple times through i said to my wife "i feel like people are staring at us.. do we look that different??" (wearing jeans and t-shirts in Paris.... maybe :oldunsure:  ).

one afternoon on the way back to our apartment, three guys walked by.. staring. i'm thinking that these guys wanted some :hot:  so i stared back :gang1:  and got ready to KO some frenchies :boxing:

wife pulled my arm and we kept walking. i turned around to check & be sure they weren't about to try something... to see two of them beaming ear to ear, giggling at each other. :confused:

maybe we just look that ridiculous, i thought :(

we walked a bit, back through the plaza ringed by cafes and today it's crowded. and i feel eyes on me. i'm starting to get nervy and cranky when

my wife says: "honey, have you noticed that there are a lot of guys here?"

me: yes :hot: :boxing:

wife: have you notice that some of them are staring

me: yes :hot:

wife: did you notice anything about them?

me: they look like they want to get :boxing:

wife: look again..... did you notice that there are virtually no women here. that some of those guys are holding hands, kissing and sitting on each other's laps AND they all have shaved heads/short hair and beards.... just like you.

me: :hot: i'll still punch one of these guys. i don't care that there's a lot of them :hot:

wife: honey, they're gay. these must be gay bars. you are dressed just like most of these guys and you all have the same haircuts. they don't want to FIGHT you, they're checking you out!!

me:  :o   :bag: :thumbup: :wub: :porked:

Never seen this before, but our plane was roughly 100 feet off the ground, mid-takeoff, and dude sprints down the aisle toward the bathroom to avoid pooping his pants, flight attendants yelling at him that the fasten seatbelt sign is on while he cropdusts the entire flight. Art.

She just sent me a reply, the entirety of which read: "Thanks!" 

High importance. :mellow:

My last employer had one of these people, and there was a mass round of layoffs (which I happened to be a part of) and she sent an email to all employees as "High Importance!" thanking management for the opportunity.

 
Managed to get to NC.  No storm drama yet  ominous clouds and the occasional rain shower  

Kid is fine. She’s massively PISSED that she broke her arm.  She has a temporary cast on  kid ortho specialist when we go home  

Dealing with the FIL’s death is the suck. But we do what must be done. 

Life tip:  get your affairs in order. Make it easy on whoever is taking care of your estate. 

 
I sort of indicated that I could support FEMA again this year for my company in a limited capacity (for Florence evidently) and am fully badged.  I woke up this morning with a hotel reservation confirmation in my inbox starting tomorrow in my favorite place; Winchester, VA.  No call, no email indicating what’s up, no carrier pigeon, smoke signals, etc...WTF?  I’m not committing yet because I have no idea what’s going on.

And my home innerwebs is limping.  It’s active, but I gots no speed.  Great start to the weekend.

Holler if your nightmare comes true and we'll hook up for a brew.

So true.  Lol.  I’ll let you know if I make my way up there.

ETA:  It’s official.  Headed up there for a week to week and a half.   :cry:

sure newspapers are dying because everyone gets their news online now but can't we at least have editing of the news articles on newspaper websites??

half the articles i read on the web read like some half drunken college kid scratched out a C- effort the morning the paper was due.

hey ...how come I can't give you a like?  

 
to furley's quote:

I took a couple years of journalism in college.  My teacher was the editor of the Dayton Daily News.  He looked like he was from Central Casting from the 50s, though he was pretty skinny.  Balding, rolled up sleeves, suspenders ...talked about drinking, and was definitely curmudgeonly.   

What goes for news, balanced approach, proper fact-checking, correct spelling and grammar ...he would have shot people and then keeled over in a massive heart attack.  

btw ...what little I can see of our newspaper's on-line content isn't much better though.

Heading to Maryland in a bit to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday. Being born-and-bred Marylanders, the family is going to a crab house to crack open some steamed blue crabs  :obc:

We ate the place out of crabs. Dive bar called Ray's Pier on the Patuxent River in Benedict, MD.

When we got there, we ordered two dozen to start. Our waitress said "we only have about 2/3 of a bushel and we're not sure if anymore are coming in". We ordered all they had (about 4 dozen). She came back after a while laughing and said "y'all done pissed off a lot of potential customers who have been calling wanting crabs". I apologized and she said "####, honey - bird in the hand, you know? Plus, I'll get off earlier". We friggin' annihilated those poor crustaceans.

Then we went back to one of my aunt's house where we all had some kind of cake she had made I had never heard of. It was like 6 layers, like large pancakes maybe 1/2" thick each layer. In between the layers was some peach concoction almost like preserves, then with some more peach stuff heated and poured on top. I rarely eat anything sweet anymore, but holy crap that was good.

I shouldn't have been surprised, though. Both my mom and my other aunt are really good cooks, but this aunt is a savant. She attended some cooking school in Oslo after graduating college, but that was just icing on the cake (so to speak) - she was born with the talent. She catered for a while back in the '80s, but stopped because she wasn't challenged and because  she hates the majority of humanity.

 
Get to go to the Cowboys game for work tonight. Pretty sweet deal but I hate the Cowboys. Anybody want the Giants +3 so I can at least have a reason to pull for the Boys? Thinking $100 or so.

Was on a flight two weeks ago and the cabin pressure was really screwing with me (plus I had five beers and three double Jack and cokes prior to the flight but it was totally the cabin pressure) and despite my valiant efforts I couldn't help myself during our final descent. No barf bags to be had and I ended up yakking into the seat next to me. Praise jeebus it wasn't one of the 99.9999% or flights that are overbooked and the seat was empty. Would have made for an awkward fifteen minutes of standing in the aisle to deplane. I just put the safety brochure in the seat to cover it up and walked off.

Have had a couple of those perfectly hit moments recently. Holed out with a 60 degree wedge from about 70 yards for eagle the other weekend. Also put a 8 iron out of a fairway trap about 2 feet from 145ish when I was up in Door Co, Wi last month.
