Harriet's 168th. birthday party with Steve Irwin.
Because I have a "thing" about having those little floor-crunchies on my feet. Floating flooring is nice, but every little thing lays right on top of it.. So instead of constantly dusting the bottoms of my feet off on my calves, I just throw on some house shoes. Freshly cleaned floors excepted.
Putting the steel toes right up the ass of day ten! Sleep still about 50/50 for the most part, but I'm still sober! I'm giving it another day today. Somewhat groggy, but nothing anywhere severe as most all of my hangover days were. My body's beginning to re-adjust, and I'm really, really okay with that.
I will not drink alcohol with you all this day!
And on a side note: today marks two solid months of sobriety for My Girl! So fuckin proud of that sweet-assed motherfucker!!
Kuntz. Yep, said like That... As in Rusty Kuntz. Best baseball name in history:
I'm a fuckin O's fan. Tanking is by far the worst thing in baseball. Some steps have been made to reduce the benefit of just losing your ass off for draft picks. But, even worse than those hard tanking years, it hurts the most seeing a really great farm-raised team not getting supplemented with some good pitchers because of the refusal of Angelos (owner of the Orioles) to spend any real money.
There's a rumor rolling around that maybe David Rubenstein is interested in buying the team, Baltimore native, hell of a lot of money... But unknown in the willingness to spend category. Owners that don't spend are far worse for this great game, in my opinion.
Superstar teams usually don't work either, mind you.. But not putting money into a team with the talent level of the O's in the past couple years? That's just straight fucked.
An old army buddy of mine once said with the purest rage: "It don't matter which way I fuckin turn it! It ALWAYS COMES BACK TO LEFT!!" after hearing righty-tighty lefty-loosy for probably the thousandth time whilst givin er in the wrong direction once again..
He got out of the army as a heavy tank mechanic and went into concrete. I don't even think he owns any tools at all these days.. That's been thirty damn years ago and I'm still fuckin with him about it every now and again..
That's exactly what a fuckin boozer would say, also.
Although... I've been drinking since about October o'clock.. so, what the fuck would I know about it, anyways.
(I say: they can stop anytime you want me to.)
Cheers!
And has realized that she left nothing behind.... Other than compliance to Her Man...
Some like it like that, eh?
Also Sprach Zarathustra. (Thus Spake Zarathustra) very overused, but one of the greatest pieces of music in all of history.
Yep. Didn't know it was a thing. Probably won't, either.
Stupid cunt. Throw that piss-jug on the bonfire like a normal fuckin human being... shit..
There's a great episode of the Timesuck podcast (episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death)
I'm not going to link to it, because I'm not sure of the thread rules, but it's a seriously well done and researched podcast on the life of this sniper.
