I set my alarm so I could be the first.
YAHTZEE!
Good mornin’, y’all. INFJ: how’s your husband??
A quick check of the 3D articles on Royalty and Serfdom, finds that you royalness could not have cheated and all the serfs say “Amen”.
LG! Clever & hilarious & very, very apropos.
It’s good to see someone with pizzazz and great legs, being first for a change!
Wha.., Ya hear that,TCL? Wow here comes the wrath of God on your head ,fritz.
I’m not trying to be the bad guy here. I had totally forgotten that you and TCR had been first a lot lately. I was mostly talking at Scott, Daniel, and myself even. Please remember INFJ, that it is blessed to forgive!
I was going to say something such as, “What are INFJ & I, chopped liver?” Thanks for the back up. Now I’m reminded of the quality of mercy as set forth by Portia. (And it sounds as if -fritz- has sufficiently grovelled. What say you?)
I say no, make him grovel some more while you can.
Thank you!! After re-reading his rebuttal, I note the following:
“I was mostly …”
And he reminded INFJ regarding the virtues of forgiveness.
So, verily I repeat: What am I?? Chopped liver?
(I can hold a grudge for a long time. If you see me letting up, please remind me that I’m mad at him)
OK, Tink and TCL, remember that blessed rain is twice blessed,so let’s receive the blessing and show fritz how the superior sex can rise above it all.
OK. The quality of mercy is not strained and I’ve got a great
pair of legspersonality. Forgiven.You convinced me with the “superior.” Those is power are supposed to be benevolent with the less fortunate after all.
On an aside…Since you, dear Tink, have seen fit to totally ignore Julio, the poolboy, of late, he has sabotaged my pool pump thereby causing me to have to place a work order with my homeowner’s warranty company. Hopefully the only cost involved will be the $75 service fee. I will bill you later for the costs involved regarding the pschiatric treatments for brokenhearted Julio!
Trying to change the subject so we’ll forget, are ya? Tsk.Tsk.Tsk.
Don’t worry, Fritzie, Julio will get his.

Somehow, while I was adding a “Y” to the word psychiatric, the whole thing double posted. Sorry about pete and repeat!
Thanks darling -fritz-. I take the compliment as read, and know very well you were not overlooking the other ladies — just trying to brighten my day.
Err, umm…yes, that’s it!
Thanks to all of my Threedonian friends for your prayers. There is a long story involving my husband’s health history, I’ll try to be concise. When he was much younger he had a virulent type of prostate cancer,he was told by a specialist at Yale New Haven Hospital that he had about three years to live. After radiation (and much prayer), the cancer was gone. Recently, after blood work, bone scans and other tests, his doctor and radiologist told him that cancer cells had probably migrated from the prostate into the bone and that he had bone cancer. They wanted to start treatment immediately. We decided to go to the best specialist in this area that we could find. Yesterday, we saw the best expert in the field at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC. Here’s the bottom line – He does not have cancer, the bone scans were not accurately interpreted. Evidently, it is not easy (at least for our local doctors) to distinguish cancer from osteo athritis. Thank God, he could have been put on female hormones, which understandably, terrified him.
Wonderful news. Praise God.
Definitely good news! Yes…praise God!!!
Excellent news!
Ptaise to our Lord and grateful thanks for His hands over your husband. It’s just fab-uh-luss news!
Good news,sweet Scotch lady!I’m still trying to summon the courage to have a colonostomy.
Excellent news!
More of that awesomeness going around — amen, amen, amen!
Yes, Thanks be to God and the special people who prayed for my husband, including all of you. We’ve had our share of miracles.
Good stuff, INFJ. Congrats to you both.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Scott, don’t put that test off! It’s no big deal and it’s a life saver – I mean it.
That’s great to hear.
Wonderful news, INFJ. Give him a hug from all of us.
I will be driving to SoCal next week to attend my daughter-in-law’s baby shower on January 26. I am especially pleased by the confluence of this event same day. After years of working at these events to protect the marchers from being spit on and worse by the counter demonstrators, I now look forward to just being one of the thousands in the crowd. This year I’m sure my absence will be excused. My precious, blessed children have chosen life.
“For the children”…when you say it,it means something,Texi!
I’ll adopt you, too. *o^
Yeah,but I’m a brat.
No sh!t, Sherlock.
Elementary.
Nice! I’m likely reffing, so will also be at the rally in spirit.
That counts, too!
And Frederick Cook c’est moi this morning.
Well, perhaps I’m Will Steger, Loyal having tied my time this morning.
Having finished four days of steady rain and two inches of snow last night, a bright orange bally thing came up today, it has dis-colored the sky some strange blue tint and cable guys everywhere are wondering why their shirts don’t stick to them the same anymore. Is this what dry is? I’m frightened!
Monday, Lana (Grand Dam, bore to the herd ( Via Percival )in the aforementioned weather (good timing girl)) a buckling. Dear Abbie and Conrad Bain have died, God, rest them. Tink has returned, my welcomes. And prayers have abounded. This ends the news summary portion of our broadcast. So “GO GHOTI”!
Loyalty Happens!
I will adopt that dog. I love mutts named “Loyal.” And did you say something about “wether”?
Vanessa Bryant take note, wetherize, your man It’s the newest ring she wants him to buy!
ROTFLMAO!!! Yikes!!!
Ouch!

Rock-y mountain high redux?
Big Rock Candy Mountain.
The Flipside of that
That’s low down even for a lawyer.
What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?A good start.
A cadillac goes of the cliff with four lawyers inside! That’s a damn shame! A cadillac seats six, you know!!!!
What do you call Dr. Emmert at the bottom of the ocean?Toxic waste.
Well, was there a retainer involved? Or was it PAYGO? Pillow talk ain’t cheap, ya know.
A fee tail…common law property.
Part of what he wrote that he billed her for was “drafting.” In NASCAR, drafting is following too close. Is that what “it’s” called these days?
LMAO
Nicholas Nickleby! (Ooops. Wrong thread.)
Nicholas Romanov.
Meow, y’all are just on the wrong thread with that, meow!
Who is Bradley Cooper?
Who is John Galt?
Who made the salad?

I say Sam Elliot (he does the Dodge commercials, you know). HUBBA.

Ram tough.
I’ll bet his mustache tickles.
He and his ol lady are raging liberals! He’s a good actor, however.

Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip
Huh?
That takes me back to the daze of my yoot in 7th grade gym class — the coach would pipe in his collection of 50′s hits to the locker room, and this song was on the rotation. It still pops up in my mind’s rotation every now and again.
Fritz’s old pal

Aw, I thought you’d sighted Magnus. Where is that guy??
Jeez Louise,where is Herr Fritz?
Oh, I’m here! Just getting wound up after a cold night!
Too
much draftingdrafty last night?Gainfully employed from what I heard, just not gainful enough to shell out for a ‘puter and ‘ternet. No more hanging round the ly’bary laughing……
Do I think that Roman Catholic skoool in Indiana should be sanctioned for its cover up?Hell yes.Emmert and his hooligans at the NCAA opened the barn door when they screwed over Penn State.No one is safe.
The NCAA seemingly looks the other way at non-Penn State schools, Scott. See: North Carolina academic scandal; former FIU football player murdering a current player. Not feeling sorry for my school, merely reporting Emmert’s hypocrisy.
A pleasant thought,Eric:see the NCAA prosecuted under the RICO statute.
Yeah Eric, recall what the NCAA did to SMU? They are just now competitive again.
I think I said this some time back, they are using your alma mater as an object lesson, it may not be fair, but object lessons rarely ever are.
Have some cheese with your whine.
“Don’t listen to it, Rocky.”
“No, do listen to it Rock. Because when it’s over, everybody’s gonna owe you an engraved apology.”
Also, at least the NCAA was above-board re. saddling SMU with the death penalty, deserved or just the wrong time to get guilty hands caught in the cookie jar notwisthstanding. Unprecedented object lesson or not re. Penn State, their punishment stems not one iota from on-field actions (or in-actions), not to mention basing their “justification” on the beyond flimsy and evidence-challenged Freeh Report. That Dr. Emmert is clueless and inconsistent with the PSU penalties, witnessed with my own eyes when Franco Harris challenged him on it, only fuels my desire and goal to assist John Ziegler in his quest for for intellectual honesty and truth all the more.
It is entirely too easy to pull your chain.
You said:
I said, “…recall what the NCAA did to SMU?” I gave you an example of a school that suffered a fate worse that what your school received and you launch into your usual spiel. Try and refrain from sweeping generalizations if you don’t want to be called out on them.
Sorry, should have been more specific the NCAA powers-that-be have apparently been looking the other way since seeming to be more stringent and intolerant of (actual) rule/ethics-violators since handing down the Penn State judgment.
As to the chain-pulling, God knows I know you were doing that, but if the last 14-ish months have proven nothing else, I will defend Joe Paterno for as long as there’s evidence indicating I shouldn’t. If and when that happens, unlike Dr. Emmert and the NCAA, at least I’ll be intellectually honest. You have your biased filmmaker monkeys on the military’s back to tweak you, I have Coach being unfairly slandered.
You know since you posted this video yesterday, I’ve watched it 5 times.
Thanks for the NSFW earworm.
Glad to help. Fo’ sho’, Top 10 album for my new millennium.
I had this CD in Iraq and only listened to a couple of songs (this not being one of them for some reason), there are so many pop culture references in this thing I still don’t think I’ve identified them all.
Yeah, there’s a ton. I wonder how long it took them to write it?
The rest of the album would do the Licensed to Ill-era Beasties proud.
Cable Guys, Plumbers, Lawyers and now, journalists, it’s like a jobfair at 3D today.
One of her sources was Lennay Kekua. The interview was a journalistic coup, virtually!
Book her,Danno
Cape Cod Times…sounds like gay porn.
Further proof that the Fourth Estate is morally bankrupt!
Imagine, a journalist making stuff up! I have never heard the like (at least this week).
Atlanta Journal-Constitution…aka the Urinal-Constipation.
But the media is unbiased, we all know they just report the truth as they see it!
As Wooderson would say,”Awright,awright,awright”.
Alright, time to break up this threesome!
Jump in the hot tub,Gooz!

He who controls the spice, controls the universe!
That’s what you think. But it is the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Just ask Gloria Allred.
Oh HER. Too bad she wasn’t in that Cadillac that LG was talking about.
There’s room in the trunk too!
-fritz- just mentioned something about duct tape …
A hand job…go away,Cape Cod Times!

No income tax in Tennessee,we run a budget surplus.Dumb rednecks!
The Golden State is the goose that laid the golden egg & we’re at the end of the fable.
We’re off to shoot a video with Andy Samberg… yes I’m name dropping a bit. It’s OK if you don’t know who that is. Still cool.
I’ll be checking in via phone throughout the day.
Though I’m ashamed to know who that is, still very cool. Eh, did like him in “That’s My Boy.” Rock that– no, I’ll let you eventually explain the wheres and what-fors of the shoot.
Canadian,Eric?That stray eh?
Shoot!Floyd,you NRA type!
Yes…details and a full explanation will be required!
A background Czech,too!
Does the video involve a box of any kind?
Or a cheetah?
Or duct tape?
Lance Armstrong???
Or Michael Bolton?
LOVE HIM! I was just watching some of his music videos the other day and laughing my heinie off. I want to hear all about it when you have time.
Tink’s heine…he he
uhhhhh huh huh huuh…
Awesome! If you’re going to be working with Samberg, remember not to look at any explosions.
I know who he is by media osmosis, but have never actually seen him. The boy will do good.
He’s off to a dream world of magic!
Awesome. I hadn’t seen this one yet. Parnell did better than I would have expected, but I think he is always underrated for some reason (I think it’s the hairdo).
Equilibrium, or what The Matrix wishes it could be.
I have never heard of this movie. How is that possible?
Without going into too many details on the political undercurrents of the film, I’ll just say that it’s basically The Matrix for conservatives. With better action and no Keanu.
Although for the record, that’s Christian Bale, not Slater.
ED: Fixed — thanks!
Thanks! I forgot to list the movie and YouTube didn’t have it labeled. The auto correct on my Droid must love 1980s movies because it corrected it put Slater I guess.
I should just accept the semi-inevitable about Mike’s sparse visits to these parts, and make more “Now Streaming at Netflix” updates. If you hadn’t figured it from the prior sentence, Equilibrium meets that criteria.
Yes, you should. I have no idea what is on new on there and haven’t for months.
And why in the world is Justified still not on? Answer me that, Answer Man.
I plead the Shield fifth.
Hear! Hear! I watched Breaking Bad “reel to reel” & wanna do same with Justified. I want my $7.99 a month back!
Not to spoil it Tink, but Bale’s gun in the movie shoots Dramamine. I second (or third) that movie. You’ll like it.
I also second a “Now Streaming at Netflix” thread takeover … or co-chair. Even though my queue’s packed, I often find myself spending 15-20 minutes looking for something new to watch, before finally choosing something. It’s amazing how the “New Releases” are beyond their expiration dates as being actually new to Netflix. The “Recently Added” stuff is like dumpster diving. My biggest pet peeve is that a lot of the Asian movies lack subtitles. I like me some Chop Socky movies, but I don’t speak Chop Socky. Netflix … Give me face!

Two heartwarming pieces of news from my friends on FB today that I thought I’d share:
A friend of mine’s mother has been in a coma for a couple of weeks, and after many daily requests that we all pray for her, she woke up yesterday.
Also, another friend (and 20-year Army veteran) posted that he tracked down and reconnected with his biological father, who he hadn’t seen since he was two years old. Amazing stuff.
How’s your chap doing,Jimmy?Miss the youngster.
He’s doing pretty well, thanks for askin’. Up to almost two and a half now, and growing up fast. Lord help us.
So much hearing news like this in the early days of 2013. All praise Him!
Thx for sharing. Life is the best thing goin’ here on earth!!
