The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

We have always had at least one lawn pig since we bought the property in '88, but they're not agile enough to get past the garden wire fencing (which extends 18" below grade to keep burrowing critters at bay). The current resident is a male that winters under our wood pile and summers under our deck. He's been enjoying the emergent crab grass lately as a change from his usual clover diet

Ayup, always heard they were good eatin'

 

[paulthenurse]

Pics or it didn't happen. I wanna see the whole process; you with the ak47, the victim, the bloody scene of the crime, into the pot and lastly, tacos.

 

[Konadog]

Yes,

And a beer.

In a tree.

Seems only fair, if said hog has been eating one’s garden.

 

[paulthenurse]

DUCK and COVER. DUCK and COVER!!!!

Oh, sorry The lightning flashed me back to first grade. I used to fit under the desk better.
Alas.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I thought it was the Russians for duck and cover?

 

[day_trippr]

Yup, it was to avoid the nuclear blast
I don't recall having drills for storms...

We had tornado drills where we all went out and sat in the hallway.

My entire town lost power an hour ago to that first wave. I'm wondering if Hudson Light and Power will try to fix what broke before the next wave hits in a couple hours...

Second hand veggies are better than none.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Deep fried

 

[paulthenurse]

Sorry. I'm ingrained. I hear wicked loud bangs and see tremendous flashes of searing hot light coming down from the sky I'm thinking Putin. YMMV I'll be trying to cram my plump azz under a desk.

Coming home from a couple week's bike trip in Tuscany, jet lag be like:

 

[balrog]

My next T-shirt idea:

Of course, along the bottom, it will read "And don't forget the bittering hops"

 

[day_trippr]

Hops in limoncello would be a whole new thing...

 

[day_trippr]

Have any of you been following this Karen Reed trial?

It's "Read", and my news feed claims it's a mistrial...

Happy holiday, and let's keep the fireworks out of the back yard smithies and pizza ovens, okay?

 

[paulthenurse]

I wanna hear details of peddling in foreign lands.

 

[paulthenurse]

Happy Birthday Murcia.

Have posted some pics will post more. Much fun. One incident, hiking not biking, tore rotator cuff due to fall and rode van last two days. Ate much pasta. Drank much wine. Very enjoyable. Rome streets are paved with basalt cobblestones. Very much the feet bruising. Did not impact pasta or wine consumption. E-bikes highly recommended, esp in 103F heat.

How else are you gonna get a burnt/raw pizza?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Be careful watching the pyrotechnics!

This is the "not rocky" hike, and the approximate location where I succumbed to poor balance and an abundance of gravity on the return hike.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Wow, the “jug wine” filling station is interesting. Beautiful country side.

 

[paulthenurse]

I peddled over to the local for a Guinness last week. Now I feel mildly embarrassed.

 

[day_trippr]

Baby steps

 

[balrog]

I almost walked over to the new nanobrewery 7 minutes from the house.

But it was too hot.

 

[balrog]

Today I did a 10 mile ride on a rail trail to test the ripped rotator and it went fine, with a few moments of rethinking how I load bikes on the CRV bike rack. But lawdy it was sweltering out there and we were home before noon. Be careful out there folks.

Yes it is sweltering today; the only exercise that I am doing is 12oz. curls!

The inevitable payback for our week on the Cape, I had to get to weed whacking and cultivating gardens and mowing the "lawn" which is sporting the lovely fluorescent green of fresh crabgrass Got started at 10, finished at 5, needed a long shower to get all the dust and dirt off me. Temporarily lost 8 pounds of water/beer in the offing, I'm putting that back in right now

I don’t do yard work on Sundays, but after church, I am prepping for tomorrow’s work with multiple pints of Blonde Ale & Irish Dry Stout!

 

[balrog]

Heading your way.

 

[day_trippr]

Missed us for a change. It followed the Pike to the harbor and is now well out to sea...

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I apparently bought a house in the sweet spot. You guys in MA get more snow in the winter than I do. And Beryl passed us by without a drop.

I probably jinxed myself…

You know it!

 

[day_trippr]

We're under attack again!

It'll be a minor miracle if we don't lose power tonight...

 

[balrog]

Apparently last night until 8:30pm we were under a tornado warning (not watch) and my phone never bleeped, blorped, buzzed or burped at me.
Went through New Salem, pretty North of me.

The sky did look "weird" yellow/greenish glow.
[Edit: North of me in Montague]

 

[homebeerbrewer]

The sky over my house was weird yesterday evening.
