Morning, citizens of 3D! The morning beverage is being served, and, I noticed (last night), that I’m beginning to see more daylight as the evening progresses. Yeah, I know, that’s what it’s supposed to do. It’s good to see it, though. Gives me hope for warmth.
Now, here’s a surprise: Willie Nelson endorsing Dennis Kucinich. Read it here: http://z6.co.uk/nutjob Hanging around with Kucinich has GOT to be bad for one’s reputation.
Good morning, Magnus! Love the last word of your link, “nutjob.” It describes the situation pretty accurately, I think.
I don’t know if it is you or me, but the last two links you have put up, my antivirus program won’t let me go to because it says they contain malware. The weird thing is, that has only happened about 4 times total. Strange.
Hmm. I suppose that it could be, though a lot of malware doesn’t affect this older computer of mine. I apologize if the links have caused you any problems.
Its the dope man..its the dope. Everytime I think of Toby Keiths video, Beer for My Horses and think of Willie as some retired cop I want to die laughing..sure….
Coffee was good. Off to find an outfit to wear for the Reagan 101 birthday and one for a change of command we have to go to next week. Gotta find a hobby store…Hubbys B Day coming soon
I got the company website finished up this weekend (yay!) and I am pleased with how it looks. Every picture on the site is from one of our events and yes it is as awesome and fun as it looks. http://zombiebuffet5k.com/ . Any feedback is appreciated.
The race is absolute madness. We usually start each wave with about 30 zombies and 270 runners but by the finish line so many runners have been turned that it ends up being 30 runners to 270 zombies. It may be the funniest thing you will ever see in your life.
Yours is awesome! It’s a great idea and I predict much success. This could catch on huge!
Regarding the Hash House Harriers, they like to say they are a drinking club with a running problem. You ought to let the local groups in Memphis know what you’re up to. There are almost definitely several in your area. They could help spread the word.
Here’s the history, from wikipedia:
Hashing originated in December 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, then in the Federated Malay States (now Malaysia), when a group of British colonial officers and expatriates began meeting on Monday evenings to run, in a fashion patterned after the traditional British Paper Chase or “Hare and Hounds”, to rid themselves of the excesses of the previous weekend. The original members included, Albert Stephen (A.S.) Ignatius “G” Gispert, Cecil Lee, Frederick “Horse” Thomson, Ronald “Torch” Bennett and John Woodrow.
After meeting for some months, they were informed by the Registrar of Societies that as a “group,” they would require a Constitution and an official name. A. S. Gispert suggested the name “Hash House Harriers” after the Selangor Club Annex, where the men were billeted, known as the “Hash House” for its notoriously monotonous food. Apart from the excitement of chasing the hare and finding the trail, harriers reaching the end of the trail would be rewarded with beer, ginger beer and cigarettes.
Hashing died out during World War II after the invasion of Malaya, but was re-started after the war by most of the original group, minus A. S. Gispert, who was killed on 11 February 1942 in the Japanese invasion of Singapore, an event commemorated by many chapters by an annual Gispert Memorial Run.
Apart from a “one-off” chapter formed on the Italian Riviera by Gus Mackie, growth of Hashing remained small until 1962, when Ian Cumming founded a chapter in Singapore. The idea then spread through the Far East, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and North America, booming in popularity during the mid-1970s.
At present, there are almost two thousand chapters in all parts of the world, with members distributing newsletters, directories, and magazines and organizing regional and world Hashing events. As of 2003, there are even two organized chapters operating in Antarctica.
Many thanks Rufus. We have been living off of college kids and military, both of whom turn out in large numbers for this. This could be an interesting new group to pursue. They certainly would not be intimidated by the concept.
Reading Daniel’s comment on “Conservation of Momentum,” that reminded me: I got accepted to Thomas More College! Yay! I’m cautiously optimistic I’ll be able to make ends meet on tuition.
So who’s setting the over-under on how many seconds before DM debates his instructor(s) syllabus?
Pretty high. It’s a “Great Books” school, where they use the Oxford Tutorial/Socratic method. In the Junior and Senior years, a big component is researching and defending a thesis.
…for realizing the function of a daily Open Thread…
The following link is for Goozer and Tink. For Goozer, just because I thought he’d get a hoot out of it. For Tink, because she might not get a hoot out of it!
Thanks (I think?), let’s file this under the heading just because you CAN where something, doesn’t always mean you SHOULD. But I have noticed this amongst my female tenants for the last several years – all bikinis all the time, muffin top or not.
Some more Obama green energy company failure from out your way Fritz. In this case we got a real bargain, taxpayers only fronted a little less than 6 million.
This is the first I’ve heard of this MS. Sounds like business as usual around here though. North Las Vegas is a special case. About half of it is a slum, and the other half was hit hard by the housing bubble trouble. Unemployment around here is nearly 14% thanks in part to Obama’s badmouthing the local tourist industry a couple of years ago, and the fact that tourism is just about the only industry here. Harry Reid keeps promosing green jobs, but things green in general haven’t got the support of the general populace, nor is the technology proven to allow it to work efficiently, or with resonable costs to be affordable.
At a press conference to promote the film’s London premiere, a reporter asked Kermit to comment on the criticism. Frog denied the accusation that their film was anti-oil, asking why, then, would they “spend the entire film driving around in a gas-guzzling Rolls Royce?”
“It’s almost as laughable as, ahhh…accusing Fox News as…you know, being news!” Mis Piggy added, to laughter from the assembled press.
Well, Miss Piggy was in London so I guess as the old saying goes, ‘When in Rome…’

No problems, I just can’t see all of your highly informative stuff.
Willie Nelson,
Leftist loon but amazing western singer.
No Johnny cash but, damn, he’s good.
Wish more of these “country-rock” singers sang like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7vaYOIKWYY
Check out Hank III, Kit. Does his grandaddy and daddy proud.
Willie Nelson is not the great singer he used to be, but he is, however, a great song writer.
Thanks for the coffee, and I’ll save your “bacon!” Sgt. Major Big Cheese!
Reporting for duty, Herr Kommondant!

What sort of hobbies does your Marine Colonel (I think) enjoy?

Far more entertaining than healthcare.
Cool… it could be the next Spartan Challenge… themed runs!

You haven’t heard of hash’ing? http://gthhh.com/
I have not heard of this. There are all sorts of odd little runs out there…I view ours as a zombie apocalypse simulator.
Yours is awesome! It’s a great idea and I predict much success. This could catch on huge!

I’ve already forwarded a link to your page to my son’s cross country coach.

Nice! Especially love the “we’ll eat you last” line!
The site looks great, V!

Congrats David!
Fantastic! Congratulations!!
Congratulations, David.
So who’s setting the over-under on how many seconds before DM debates his instructor(s) syllabus?
Added congratulations, DM. A) For the collegiate acceptance, and B) for realizing the function of a daily Open Thread.
Snap!
Thank you for the congrats!

So it’s not for compromising pictures of Floyd?
The daughter of my undergrad advisor went to St John’s, also a “Great Books” school. Very cool. Congratulations and I hope you love your time there.
Good for you, David!
Congratulations David! Onward and upward!
Student loans….and pay em back. THats the only way. I just got done paying mine back..it sucks but its worth it. Also do scholarship research.
Kudos David!

I meant “wear” of course, not “where.” I HATE that.
Ah, yes. My lessons in performing typos are beginning to take effect! I am pleased, my student. Very pleased!
Why, just…why? What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Now I have more than mucus making me gag…
Your next link better be to a hot candystriper!
Sorry Goozer. I just assumed that a fat, half naked Brazilian woman was better than no Brazilian woman at all.
Is this better?

I’m sure that Billy Ray is very proud!
My thoughts exactly, she needs a good ass whoopin’…unfortunately she’d probably enjoy it.
Et tu, Outlaw?

Ugh, disgusting. Julian Assange to guest star on the 500th episode of The Simpson’s. And he’s getting a talk show in Russia. Yep, crime still pays.

Fantastic. Now I’ll have to go burn all my Simpsons stuff.
Quit watching them years ago when they ceased to be funny. That is disgusting though.
I guess hell is freezing over! Here’s the latest from the earth temperature freaks:
