The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[paulthenurse]

No thread. Wasn’t even sure I could host this year due to family health stuff. Still a pretty good turnout, +/-50 folks over the day.

Save your S&H Green Stamps and come next year.

How's everyone in the Eastern parts doin'?

Classic three day nor easter, seems to me these used to happen more often, but they make a big deal about them now, and cancel the boats at any excuse. Not that I'd want to be out fishing, or doing outdoor construction work for that matter, though I'm sure someone is doing both right now, especially fishing, some of the bass derby nuts take pride in going out in this stuff.

Back in the day, if we (USCG) got called out to pluck some ******* from the roiling seas on a day like this we went out with joy in our hearts. We had boats designed to be out there in this stuff and it was our chance to play, show off and be rock stars. And we always managed to lord our superiority over those idiots and let them know in no uncertain terms that they were idiots and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the keys to a boat because they didn’t have sense enough to stay home in bed and bang the old lady when it was just plain stupidity to cast off lines.

These days they probably give them a participation trophy and tell them that they’re winners.

I’m glad I’ll be dead soon. I miss the old days.

Hey now! You know we'd all miss him.

Happy to read that, I really wanted to come down for awhile but my wife's 96 yo mother in law (think about it) needed attention units paid...

Cheers!

Family WAY more important than hanging out with us. Enjoy your time with her. I’m lucky, my mom (88) was able to come and had a great time.

Speaking of important,, if not off topic, anyone brewing lately?

Mashed in about an hour ago, time for recirc(vorlauf) soon. Still limping around from the driveshaft my brother dropped on my foot last week, but is has been 3 weeks since I brewed. If nothing is going on beer wise when I go down cellar, seems like something is missing.

 

[Tipsy McStagger]

I'm brewing right now.Making a best bitter.Perfect day for it.And if nothing is fermenting in the basement then something is wrong.

 

[paulthenurse]

Beautiful day to tow the docks up the river for the winter.

 

[Dland]

And if nothing is fermenting in the basement then something is wrong.

True for me when I'm making lagers, but the ales ferment too fast ( I can't drink 10 gallons a week). But at least something should be fermenting or spunding.

He didn't say boat

Your right, probably just messing around with floating docks, for no particular reason, ...(boat people, hey, used to be one myself, so I know their ways)...heh.heh...

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Here's my conversation with my brother last year. I had been bugging him to get the boat back in the water. I knew what the answer was before he replied.

Brother: I took my boat down to the Cape last weekend.

Me: Did it get in the water?

Brother: No. I had a problem with the fuel pump.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

I just brewed today. 10 gallons of homegrown hop pale ale to finish off my hops from last year.

You look very happy to me, I’d say beaming, as expected.

I was thinking it says, "I just pooped myself."

 

[balrog]

I saw that from both my kids and I'm pretty sure it was "whodafugaryou?"

 

[HoppyDaze]

So the first day of that kid's life he has to look at your face? Cruel.

 

[bob1852]

"I just pooped myself."

Well, you are getting older...

He’s a she. It’s ok, girls are tough.

Congrats Paulie!

 

[paulthenurse]

Thanks for all the congratulations folks, but it was Spawn 1 (BTW, the winner of the 2016 Masstoberfest Cup) who did all the work. I just get all the glory.


Ok, I suppose her husband did some small part of the work.

But I STILL get all the glory. All is right in the world.

Now with three grandkids I'm loving the whole grandpa paradigm: love 'em, spoil 'em rotten if that's your thing, then leave 'em!

Cheers!
