Overnight Open Thread -- Valentine's Day 2014
— Open Blogger

Well, 'Rons n' 'Ettes, it's your friendly neighborhood Damn Dirty RINO again. I'm filling in for CDR M tonight since he came up with some cockamamie excuse about "defending the nation" or something. I don't know. But, inasmuch as he has friends who could "accidentally" drop an explosive payload on me from thousands of feet in the air at any time, I figured I ought to go ahead and do tonight's ONT. I may be lazy, but I'm not stupid.

Like everyone else, Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday of the year. It's the one holiday that seems immune to corporate exploitation, steeped as it is in Judeo-Christian tradition. And, as anyone who knows me will readily tell you, I'm all about that old-time religion. Sadly, contemporary culture seems bent on rejecting the ancient teachings of the Bible that have helped to sustain mankind for thousands of years -- particularly the verse in Peruvians 8:42, which tells us, "Honor thine life partner with baubles and sweets and flowers and cards and lavish meals and sparkling wine. Bedeck her in splendorous, yet scant garments that she may wear but once and cast aside never to be seen again. For, should thou forsake such worshipful genuflection, thine ears shall ring with vituperative hectoring forevermore."

It's through such generous gift-giving and ritual pleading for physical reciprocation that we come to know true love. Unfortunately, many of us never become truly acquainted with the incomparable joy that comes from love in its most transactional form. Instead, we waste years and years fooling ourselves into thinking that true love can be achieved through mutual admiration, respect and personal sacrifice. And then one day, we suddenly wake up and discover that we've wasted immense effort and emotion on an illusion only to find ourselves navigating a cold, cruel world alone.

Now, obviously, there are some personal relationships that just don't develop into anything more than friendship in spite of our best efforts. Sometimes, you can do everything right, and with the very best of heartfelt intentions, but still find yourself in what has come to be known as the Friend Zone. It can be painful and humiliating, and may even cause you to question the wisdom of following the path that leads to true love.

Yes, it's unfortunate and hurtful. But, you can't allow yourself to grow discouraged. If you can't make the object of your desires fall in love with you despite your most exorbitant investment, then it simply wasn't meant to be. The right person is out there for you; you just have to maintain faith that your paths will cross at some point down life's twisting, treacherous roads. The fact is, we all have a soul mate. But, for some of us, finding him or her requires more patience and perseverance -- and perhaps a lowering of standards and expectations.

And, if you are sufficiently persistent and generous to the person whose affections you're seeking, but that person still can't be cajoled into reciprocation, it may very well be that you need to engage in some serious introspection. It could simply be that you're not assertive enough. It's amazing how many people go through life laboring under the misapprehension that mere kindness and tenderness toward the people they love will somehow bring them around. As noted singer-songwriter Patty Smyth pointed out back in the 1980's, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," and you have to instill fear into their hearts. After all, if someone doesn't respect you, how can they ever come to love you?

One of the saddest aspects of living in the modern world is that we have allowed ourselves to become convinced that simple love has the power to "conquer all" and "move mountains". And it's because of that silly notion that people become dejected and give up hope for finding that one person with whom they can share a full and happy life. But, as someone who has fallen prey to such fantastical ideas, let me assure you that this is not the case. There are innumerable challenges and obstacles against which romantic love is of absolutely no use.

No, the only way to ensure a long-lasting and fulfilling adult relationship is to express your deepest feelings for the person with whom you wish to share your life by appealing to their base appetites.

But, there's a caveat. You see, if you make only explicit overtures toward a person's base drives, they begin to feel objectified. They don't feel loved for who they are as a person, but merely desired as an object of sexual conquest. This has a way of leaving people feeling somewhat dehumanized. So, when making such gestures in the hopes of building a lasting relationship based on deeply felt emotional ties, you have to make sure to adorn it with the soft, superficial treacle of hearts and kittens.

On the other hand, if all you seek is pure carnal indulgence, a wink, a smile, and a generous display of flesh will do the trick nearly every time. And if that's what you're looking for on this most sacred of holidays, well, I suppose you could do a lot worse.

Tonight's ONT brought to you by Soft n' Snuggly Sweater Puppies:

ADDENDUM: rdbrewer sent this over the transom shortly after I finished, so I figured I'd toss it in for those of you who may find it as interesting as I did. It's the Presidential Personality Quiz. My results said my personality most favored that of Lincoln.

And, as long as I'm adding stuff, I may as well add this in, too. I really wanted to use it earlier, but I couldn't figure out a way to incorporate it into the overall theme. But, rd gave me a good excuse to tack it on at the end, so I'm going to. It's a video of a little girl's first experience with being in the rain. It strikes me that one of the tragedies of the human condition is that it beats the sense of wonderment out of us over time.

56 Oh crap, I got Barack Obama on the President's quiz. Excuse me while I go impeach myself. According to a study done by Jeffery J. Mondak, Ph.D., your scores indicate that you are: Not likely to discriminate on the basis of race or sexual orientation. More likely to be pro-choice rather than pro-life. Likely to feel trapped by the status quo. Likely to enjoy complex and abstract discussions. Likely to be more knowledgeable on academic topics. More likely to favor military intervention as a means of solving foreign policy problems. Less likely to think that international cooperation will solve foreign policy problems. More likely to take responsibility and to take an active interest in your community. More likely to be patriotic and proud of your country. More likely to enjoy romantic fiction than the rest of the population.

102 The whole idea of unions has had its time come and go. In 1950 a labor cartel could dictate its prices because most of the world had spent the last few years destroying itself. In 2014 if labor forms a cartel and overcharges the business employing them will either leave or go under.

An embarelling inside of 100 count on the thread?

 

 

Would be a new World Record, but the Russian judge bribed the French judge to lower the score a bit.

 

 

Still though.  I think you might have won the Bronze in Embarelling.  And not in the good, tasty, Bourboney way.

250 Am I wrong to think that Private Sector Unions are okay, (not ethically as they co-opt payment from non-union employees), seeing as they negotiate with management? "Public Sector" unions... a.k.a. "Government Unions" are the real evil, seeing as they only negotiate with the politicians they try to keep in office through contributions? I often think that businesses that don't look out for worker safety are the most vulnerable to union incursion. I believe they mostly bring that upon themselves. The Government, however, is a breeding ground for corruption and malfeasance amongst symbiotic parasites, Hell-Bent on feeding from the Golden Goose's Host.

It's a chorus, Peaches. Fuck the UAW.

 

 My sister worked as a nurse in the medical department of a GE plant which closed back in 2008. She was non-union. If some worker came to her with a tiny scratch, they'd demand 6 weeks off. She would refuse to sign off on it - and 5 seconds later, two UAW reps would be in her office screaming in her face. The UAW turned her from a Democrat into a Republican.

 

Sadly, I can't say she's a conservative, because she can't grasp that Republicans aren't conservatives. She lives in Paul Ryan's district and loves him and nothing I can say will change her mind. In fact, she gets angry at me for "turning against the GOP," because I was singing praise for him when Mitt chose him as running mate. It was a huge move for her to go from Dem to GOP and asking her to look deeper is asking too much. Which is why Ryan is assured of reelection.

Yes, Canucks have an accent. I hear it quite strongly when I'm up there. Not so much when I meet a stray Canadian down here in the States. It's the vowels...

 

I like Mark Steyn but he desperately clings to the accent he picked up from a few years in boarding school in the UK. He reminds me of seeing the late Canadian novelist Robertson Davies speak about 25 years ago. Davies was this theaterical character who spoke about Canada in a very British sounding voice. He had gone to school in Oxford and had left the UK during the war - but the Brit accent remained. Christopher Plummer's another one (although I'll excuse him, since he's a Shakespearean actor).

50 bones for 100 is about right for the market now, that's about what the online ammo vendors are offering for target ammo.

One tip: even if you don't reload your own ammo, keep your brass. Good trading material with the reloaders at your local range.

354 I gotta admit, I'm somewhat embittered by my personal experiences with women and romance in general.

Maybe it's that I live in the world capital of vapidity, Southern California. But it seems like these days, women (thanks to feminism, the self-esteem movement, etc)-- not just the 9s and 10s, but all the way down to even the 4s and 5s-- are just convinced that if they reject and/or are cruel to every non-absolute-Alpha male who desires them, George Clooney has just *got* to waltz through their front door someday with roses, chocolate and an Amex Black Card.

It doesn't help that what's known as "creep-shaming", i.e., ridiculing any man who isn't an absolute Alpha, is all the rage these days it seems. From what I've read, Pink even wrote a song celebrating it.

I admit it: I don't have much money, and need to lose weight. I don't expect or demand to punch above my weight. But it would be nice to meet a decent woman who would give me a chance. Of course, world peace would be nice too.

Okay, end rant.

Never heard of it referred to as "creep-shaming", but maybe Florida was different.  We used to have what I called the Schizophrenic Princesses down there.  They wanted some playboy billionaire philanthropist, but would easily settle for a tatted-up gangbanger...  and exclude anything in between out of hand.  After a while, it just left you kind-of hacked off at the whole concept of dating.

I discredit myself, but you get the gist.

Well, I was a good wife tonight...but it sorta backfired on us.

 

After stuffing ourselves on a great dinner that I spent hours preparing...

My beloved and I lapsed into a food coma that killed any hope of further activities for the evening.

 

Him: "Oh honey, that was sooo good. I ate too much."

 

Me: "Me too. I shouldn't have had desert. I'm hurting now."

 

Him: "I'm in pain too. I've gotta go lay down and stretch out. ...And don't even thing about jumping on me for any bouncy-bouncy. Okay?"

 

Me: "No problem. ....Love you madly, though."

 

Him: "Oh baby, I love you bigtime. You shouldn't have fed me so good."

 

Me: "S'okay. ...Raincheck."

 If there is one thing I regret Steve, it was not giving nice guys more of a chance when I was in my 20's.

 

But on the other hand, the "nice" guys I knew in my 20's were total lefties (I was a lib too then), so maybe we wouldn't be getting along so well now. I started to evolve politically in my late 20's and early '30's. If I had had a lib hubby telling me I was wrong and awful and a heretic, would I have permitted myself to swing to the right? I'm not saying you're in that category, of course, only that they guys I knew were.  My qualms about them now are not based on niceness, but on politics.

 

 I dunno. There are morons here who are married to libs and they vent at the AOSHQ and get along with their spouses well in other areas. I have a hard time thinking I could maintain respect for a man who voted for King Putt.

Yep, money and status seem to be all that matter to a lot of SoCal women anymore. Hip-hop/rap culture also seems to have a lot to do with it IMHO. It *literally doesn't matter* to too many women how the money came about either. As long as you're a millionaire, you can be murdering buses full of nuns and still get plenty of attention from girls. I know that's not new, but it's still depressing.

Another thing I'm sick of hearing about: all the love letters that the men on Death Row get day after day after day. Supposedly Richard Ramirez used to get piles of them. Of course. If you're a murderer, that's no problem as long as you're high status (in the news media every day or so). But if you're a decent guy who's looking for a job, you get treated like a loser.

You need to find a female who wants you to be the authority in the relationship. She can and will give her opinion on important issues but you make the decision. Personally, I find that reassuring. Speaking for myself, a lady will look for someone who can give the reassurance that she will be cared for. Assert that strength, because you have it as a man. You may not pack heat, but if she trusts you as a protector it goes a long way.

I don't need to meet a woman who's necessary conservative, but I don't think I'd be compatible with an out-and-out lefty either, and I doubt one would be comfortable with me, unless we were both really good at explaining to each other our views and modifying them rather than arguing about the chasm.

Know that feeling.  Or if you're a guy in a dead-end job just trying to get by like I used to be.  Luckily, not in the dead-end job anymore, that's part of why I moved here (the other part being to get away from what Florida was turning into).  There's still signs up around town that say "Now Hiring, Full Time" which is rare in the rest of the country.  I'm telling you, Texas is the place to be right now.

At Amy Alkon's site, there's a good story about a guy who lost his girlfriend, whom he claimed to absolutely cherish, because at a party a jerky "friend" basically called her a roaring slut right in front of him... and he was afraid of making a scene, so he didn't defend her. *That* kind of stuff, I can understand is a giant turn-off to women.

What he should have done is grabbed the shithead's tie, gotten in his face and said something like "apologize profusely to my girlfriend RIGHT NOW, or I am going to permanently separate you from your sorry drunk ass in the parking lot." That's what I like to think I would have done, anyway. :-)

Yeah but keep in mind that those women who pursue relationships with lifers and Death Row inmates are seriously broken people. They choose men who are so desperate for any distraction there is very little chance of rejection but at the same time there is very little risk of consummation. It's codependency via the USPS.

 True, Vendette. I once dated a guy for a while whose mother had killed herself when he was 12. And he really, really wanted a mom - and I didn't want to be his mom! He wanted direction from a woman - and I wanted direction from a man.

 

About 3 years after we broke up, I met him on the streets of DC - he had moved back to NYC and found a woman who was at least (in my estimation)10 years older than him. It was weird, he invited me to go with the two of them for a drink and I accepted. I think he was doing a sort of "see, I got someone, ha, ha!" sort of thing, but I wasn't at all jealous. She was very obviously Mommy to him - and I was happy for him. Honestly, I didn't sneer at that. Humans should grab happiness where they can, and since he wouldn't have been happy with me, I'm glad they found it in their own way.

432 Peaches: I am in the Long Beach area, near the OC border. Lakewood. Nevertheless, I'm willing to drive to meet some nice women. Thanks for the tip.

And it's true, too many women are looking for $$$$ while too many men are looking for a pornstar beast straight off the set, fresh waxed and ready to go. I can understand why that's also a turn-off to many women. The problem is, I AM NOT ONE OF THEM, and I'm tired of women assuming any man who has to ask for attention from them is either (1) that, or (2) a complete failure at life.

Another thing I'm sick of hearing: "oh, you want a woman? Just be yourself." I did that for 20 years and never received *one* iota of interest from any woman the entire time.

Well, since I went from liberal to conservative, I certainly think I changed in a good way :-) I value things now that I didn't value when I was young.

 

Unfortunately, I've also gotten older. I take care of myself, but no, I'm not as cute as I was 20 years ago. And I was cute in those days, not a raving beauty, just cute.

Posted by: Donna V. at February 14, 2014 07:53 PM (R3gO3)

452 True, Vendette. I once dated a guy for a while whose mother had killed herself when he was 12. And he really, really wanted a mom - and I didn't want to be his mom! He wanted direction from a woman - and I wanted direction from a man.

Posted by: Donna V. at February 14, 2014 11:47 PM (R3gO3)



Thats how I met the wife. She had just gotten over a relationship with a dude who made her feel like she was his mom. It freaked her out.

453 I used to think about Valentines Day more, but you reach a certain age you know who you are. Now I live in a little room out in the country behind a bar. Work 4 nights a week. In between I drink. And there ainÂ’t nobody there to stop me. I know who I am. After all these years thereÂ’s a victory in that.

Posted by: Rust Cohle at February 14, 2014 07:53 PM (k8m83)

454 Yeah. I'll agree that it pays to be "from the athletic persuasion." As a current "tubby", (20...25 lbs. overweight), I still hold the "confident eyes of an athlete", knowing I can't do what I once did. Posted by: Slapweasel at February 14, 2014 11:45 PM (lq3Ak) I don't think it matters as much based on your current height or weight. If I knew what you had trained for previously, I'd feel confident in that because it would come back to you. And just having you around would be beneficial.

Posted by: Vendette at February 14, 2014 07:54 PM (LoNS3)

455 TruckMonkey: true about LA. It's just not what it used to be, at least to me.

I know there's stuff I'd miss if I go to a much more exurban spot in NV, AZ or TX. At the same time... I'd bet I'd find a lot of new good stuff to fill in the gap.

An actual decent job, for instance.

461 438 -

The thing is, you really DO have to be yourself... but the "just" part is where that advice goes wrong.

Confidence is the key.  Which is always easier to demonstrate when you really feel it,  and you're obviously going to feel it most when you are being true to who you are.

Confidence  comes in many forms.  As some of the ladies are saying, it's sometimes about taking charge of situations.  Sometimes it's about going shoe shopping with them, and actually having an opinion about what they pick out  (or picking out something yourself). 

Never be afraid to say something because you don't know how she's going to respond.  If you happen to say something that makes her mad, then it means  she cares  enough about what you say to have a reaction to it.  You can do it without being a jerk, but if you believe something, stand up to her.  She'll respect you for being honest, even if she stays mad for a bit. 

Simple to say, but the ladies will agree with me: confidence is sexy to the chicks.

Persian women are beautiful but they're into money big time too as well as being mean bitches. Asians born in CA are money obsessed too.

470 I have a happy story. A kid I've known for several years has been sweating out our version of college acceptance. I helped him out a little in "our" sport, arranged some higher level coaching, gave the usual encouragements, etc, while trying to "recruit" him, term used advisedly, for "our" favorite service academy.

He applied properly, met their athletic and academic standards, didn't get the congressional appointment. But I knew better. Congressionals are for looks. If the academy wants you, they'll find a way. Budget cuts, internal policy squabbles, wrote a letter, visited the coach, yadda. Long wait, and a pretty good college was stalking him. A school with a lot of national championships. I gave him a hat.

Wednesday he found out he'll be his high school's valedictorian. Thursday he got his letter of assurance from the academy. Friday they called to say they had one appointment left, and it was his. On his birthday.

And then he went to the garage, and his parents had bought him a CJ-7. He won't be able to use it from June until 2016, but dad's going to do some improvements. He'll be working under the two best coaches in the country. And he's going to be an officer.

He did that. But I feel so good for him, it's like it all happened to me.

471 BurtTC: also good advice.

It seems to me often times like dating is most like gambling. The most successful people at it... are the ones who can afford to lose the most without caring.

Yep. ...It is.

But the tricky thing, is that it has to be confidence in one's own goodness and strength.

And honor.

 

A guy can be confident in himself about all the wrong things.

And that is decidedly Not sexy.

And just having you around would be beneficial." Posted by: Vendette That's what I figured. You can see it in someone's eyes. I know when a guy/gal has played sports by the way they react to something I say. I know further their acumen by simply tossing something to them, or by the way they toss something to me. ...little things belie the "downplaying" of one's skill. Hand/eye + "style" = coordination. ...Reaction + hand/eye + "style" = Former Athlete (w) "Skill".

Also, my local listener-supported jazz and blues station, KKJZ at Cal State Long Beach, is having another pledge drive soon and looking for volunteers.

Ah okay your in the long beach area. A pledge drive is a good place to start. Don't be scared about going on dates with liberals, you definitely have more in your area than some other parts of socal but it's good practice.

It's getting late, and I'm all jazzed up with a fresh bath, Old Spice, and Little Abe is ready for action.  I'm waiting for Krystal from Hard Bodies Lounge to arrive and make my evening. 

She always asks for $1500, and is worth every penny.  I give her the $1500 for basic service, and if she honks my love stick,  I'm prepared to tip her another $500 or so because it's Valentines day.

Posted by: rickl at February 14, 2014 08:45 PM (sdi6R)

559 Yeah... "confidence" is better if it is "quiet". While I can be boisterous, at times, I've found that, (non-sexually), I've made more sales while asking questions and "attempting to meet needs" than talking-up a "confidence game". I can utilize a loquacious lexicon in its dominant, "educated", utility. I can piece together words, so as to create an alternate reality. I can apply the gibberish full-throttle, should I choose. There's no need for it beyond a job interview. I've found two words more powerful than all the multi-syllabic jargon available to those with access to a thesaurus. -"Might I?" "Might I ask you about that dress?" "Might I imply something awful here?" "Might I ask, simply, why?" It is a touch better than "How Come?". Only slightly, but it is more ubiquitous. If you use it more than twice, it must be spaced out and followed by a coherent reply. As I've stood upon stage-after-stage, trying to reach different audiences, (In Northeast Ohio Only), I've found this a useful tool only if I've listened to the answer given. A pre-determined response is usually "in the cards", but the physical reaction to the answer matters. I'm not trying to get someone to like me, (per se), but I am trying to get them to respond to my answer with either head-nodding or laughter. I evoke the response by "seeming" smarter and reacting to their response with Bill Clinton-style "acknowledgement". After I tear them apart? They couldn't care less because I've already pre-determined their level of response as well as my own reaction to it. I'm the Alex Trebek of my own little universe. That's why comedy is what it is. The comedian keeps moving because he already knows the reaction. Should something go wrong? He can "shrug it off" as "Who Knew"? He moves on. You can get stuck in "Reality" if you like, but he is moving on. The rest of the audience is suspending reality, so you're just going to have to put it off until you come correct. The best of comedians act like they are actually asking questions and "listening", but they know the answers before they ask the questions. What was I talking about? Oh Yeah! Chicks! ...Broads do this all the time. They know the answers before they ask you the questions. They try to "help you along" if you are either "hot" or "compatible". Shit... they'll answer their own questions by saying things like: "Don't you think...?" -or- "Am I wrong...?" If you like this particular broad, the "correct" answer is the one she offered. If you're like me? You're too selfish to get married. *End Rant*

And somewhere in there, he (and the rest of the extraordinary band, the survivors of which went on to form New Order)  managed to tap into a depth of emotion, and present it to us in songs that are piercingly  sad and  beautiful.

597 "Try the Mexican women."

Er, in many parts of contemporary Commiefornia, if you're a guy and you "try the Mexican women", and if either (a) you're not Mexican, or (b) you're Mexican but from an unacceptable part of Mexico, then there will be IMMEDIATE AND MAJOR CONSEQUENCES involving fists, boots, baseball bats, lead pipes, knives, guns and moving vehicles, various combinations thereof, or all of them at once.

I'm not kidding. This is why emergency rooms around here have armed security and metal detectors now. Bad blood arising from such issues is and will be continued even to the point of bursting into hospitals to finish off people who survived the first round.

A white friend of mine had a Riverside cholo say to him very directly, "We can date choor women. Choo can not date our women. Hokay? Choo are clear on this now?"

Where if he wasn't clear on that, remedial lessons would have been immediately applied until such time as he was crystal clear on it. They're good that way. Very instructive.

This "melting pot" business the ridiculous gringoes talk about? Mexicans have a pot and they do not want anyone unapproved melting anywhere near their pot. No way, Jose.

She'd be hot, but not quite as smart: Joan Severance Hot- This is just a woman you currently lust after: Megyn Kelley Fetish Hot- This woman doesn't fit the "usual dynamics" of everyone elses' definition, but you'd lust after that for one reason or another: S.E.

I can't wait to hear the bitching his brothers are going to do when they see what I have waiting.  The wife surprisingly supported my decision to arrange this since he didn't get a chance to go to college like they did.  This gift, while extravagant in respect to its peers, is only a fraction of what we spent on the other brothers' college tuition.

617 "Someone claiming to be from my mortgage holder called telling me there were changes coming to my account and that he needed to verify some personal info before he could tell me what they were. He asked me to verify my last four digits of my social and date of birth. Ha ha! You've got to be a retard to fall for shit like that."

Infamously, someone recounted a similar completely obvious con, and I laughed and said something very much along the lines of "you're got to be a retard to fall for shit like that", except with considerably more brio.

Someone looked uncomfortable and excused themselves from the table. I found out later that they had in fact been taken for a goodly sum of money by just such a scam.

::: crestfallen :::

If only I had known!

I would have done the sensitive, caring thing. Run after them and said, "And how long HAVE you been a retard? I have the greatest respect for the Retard-American community."

Unfortunately, there are a whole bunch of people over age 60 who grew up in a less cynical and less crassly manipulative era, and they fall for transparently obvious scams you would not believe.

I am still trying to get half of my older family members to understand that if they get a call or an e-mail about anything financial, the world will not end if they first take two minutes to get in touch with me so that I can look into the bona fides of the inquiry. Am really quite nervous that one of them will get taken.

The only one of the lot about whom I never worried was my now departed grandfather, who could be, let us say, salty. A tough old bird who took no shit and trusted nothing that walked on two legs.

632 "My problems did not come from a lack of confidence. They came from the arrogance that all I needed was a fuckmate not a partner."

Easy mistake to make. Especially for men.

(Possibly revealing slip of the keyboard: originally typed "especially for me", and read into that what you will. I blame clumsy fingers and Val-U-Rite.)

But, finding a partner is a _lot_ harder than finding a fuckmate. Cynically, you can find a fuckmate in short order just by waving money in the air. No one who would make trustworthy partner material would be impressed by that alone. Or would be actively put off by it. Good potential partners examine you to greater depths.

For the latter, I'd go with that Ugly-Ass broad from "Fight Club". I have no idea what anyone would find attractive about that woman. I can't remember her name and I find her repulsive in every aspect of characterization. I have greater fantasies of fending her off and bloodying her nose than even "getting carnal" with that thing.

There's an old military adage to the effect that the bullet you need to worry about is not the proverbial one with your name on it, but instead the one addressed "To Whom It May Concern".

So I guess sacrificing "something to somebody" is much along the same lines.

654 "The Tyranny of the Majority" is one of my favorite phrases, as I reside over multiple Fantasy Baseball Leagues. "The Tyranny of the Minority" is my second-favorite phrase. The Ultimate Authority of Commissioner is double-edged sword. Knowing more than one's constituents is one thing. Abiding by their votes is another. The "trick" lies in the leadership and the asking of the right questions that lead to freedom. Not My Idea of "Correct Freedom", but any given League's idea of their freedom. Therefore, a "Good Trade" is not of my sole opinion. It is a "value versus value" subject of a free market. Unfortunately? Some "Libertarian, Free-Thinking People" don't even understand that within a limited microcosm of a baseball universe. Their idea of "Value" doesn't require any more context than "mathematically equal". I ask my Plebians to Think Higher, but selling Freedom is even harder that you might imagine. Context isn't the first thought of the "secondarily aware". Now I'm just "riffing". My apologies.

Even if I had a week and a clue. -You do a great job with it by collecting/reporting real news by cross-referencing everything. -You answer questions. If someone asks something, you've mainly got an answer. If you don't know? You've got The Balls to actually say "I Don't Know." I'd like to take a little time out of my day to say "thanks". You may think it is "thrown together" at times, but I try to read it every week and I appreciate it. After I read your post, I know what to expect in The Gaming World. I'm just sorry I can't be there more often to offer my limited knowledge from the Xbox 360 arena.

747 OK, guys -- so the BH has a traditional Valentine's Day story that she told at her office today -- er, yesterday.



It seems that the BH and I were tooling around an obscure corner of SoCal one time, and I mentioned that I had an ex-gf that lived nearby and wondered how she was....and the BH said we could stop by her house and see if she still lived there. She did, and we took her out to dinner, and talked about the intervening years -- she'd taken up motorcycle track racing and was doing well in a bunch of races until wiping out at 125 mph and now walked with a slight limp. Anyhoo, after couple of hours, the BH and I went on our way. As soon as we were out the area, the BH slugged me and said, "you didn't tell me she was gorgeous!" through clenched teeth.



Anyhoo, fast-forward a few months and we're coming up on Valentine's Day, and I decide that I'm going to do one of them internet-thingie delivered-flowers deals to deliver her flowers at work. Women love to get flowers delivered at work so they can proudly display them amongst their peers. So I'm going through the website and get this huge gaudy number -- the better to flaunt with -- and the site pops up with this special offer -- since I'm buying monstrosity A for, like $75, I can have an additional modest bouquet B delivered anywhere else for $25 more.



The ex-gf's social life had been as wrecked as her bike....first through the period of recovery, and through PT afterward. And I had kind-of gathered that she was a little down about that, so I thought: "Y'know what, $25 is not a helluva bad price to maybe lift her spirits a bit." -- and stuck one for her in the basket.



So the big day comes around, and I'm touching base with the BH around mid-morning....everything's normal....and I'm touching base at lunch....everything's normal....and I'm touching base in the afternoon....everything's normal -- and I'm getting pretty damned annoyed that precious BH workplace flaunting hours are being wasted. I wanted to hear "squee! Mine was the most extravagant and gaudy of anyone on my floor!"



And, finally, I touch base with the BH and she's like, "everything's normal, see you at home". I still had a ton of work to do, so I kept chugging along -- I was furious at the florist for denying the BH her rightful bragging rights, and while I was working the next hour or so about 1/4 of my brain was angrily composing a complaint letter. Then the BH checks in with me and says, "there was a message on the answering machine from the ex-gf thanking you for the flowers."



You can well imagine that my blood went cold at that moment.....and scheduling the production line dropped several notches on my priorities list. It was after-hours on Valentine's Day, the BH hadn't gotten any flowers from me, and the ex-gf had.


The third florist I tried was still open, and I could get a slightly runtier version of arrangement A for the paltry sum of $120, which I was duly carrying when I arrived at home that night. I confessed everything immediately.....and she said, "well, now I have a story to tell every Valentine's Day."


And, like I said, she told it to her guys at work yesterday.....it's been almost 20 years.

761 The reason I got here so late tonight is that the BH and I had a date on Valentine's Day. Funny thing is, we've been together for 25 years some time this year, and we normally avoid the concept of specially designated "special days" like the plague. We don't give each other Christmas or birthday presents, and seldom mark Valentine's Day (despite that last story). Every so often we do something special because we want to do something special -- and maybe found a way to do it especially cheaply. Or we'll mark a holiday with something that bucks the trend -- like our "tub, rub, and grub" New Year's.



But, tonight, we went to The Osteria in Palo Alto -- their veal saltimboca is sooooo good -- and saw a performance of The Mikado by the Stanford Savoyards. And I wore a red t-shirt with a silly Valentine's theme that is really useless 364 days a year, 'cause I wanted everyone to know that it was a special night with my squeeze -- it even got a comment from one of the girls in the box office.

772 ManWithNoParty, the hours kinda go with the job. I am a Network Engineer by trade and this time of year I have to work when the customers are closed so I can mess with the servers and routers. I will get normal again around the middle of March. Not to mention this is my last year doing this shit!

774 779 Glad you're about the get out, Old Dog. I work in the AV/IT world, and dig what you're saying. I'm up now because I'm PMing a Boardroom AV revamp.

775 782 I am right in the middle of converting a customer from a Windoze environment to a Linux environment! Talk about a madhouse and guess what I am the only guy in the company qualified in both realms. Two more nights for this outfit then I get a break for a couple of days.

777 783 My challenge, much like yours I'm sure, is to make systems as impenetrable as possible to human failings. Quite difficult, especially with Executives. They have Admin staffs for a reason....

778 783 Yep, at the In-Brief look for the bored guy in the corner wearing jeans!!

779 Good morning to my imaginary friends in a box.
Looks Like Baltimore dodged the five inches of Glowbull Worming that they  were calling for throughout the night.

And now for the completely random, and very erratic 22LR ammo report for today.
Four major ammo search bots, and about seven major individual sellers, including Cabela's.

Nothin'...zip...nada for less then .14 per round.

780 I matched up as Eisenhower.

Surprised and pleased with that result.

781 787 Morning VIA. Sorry to hear about the ammo pricing troubles. I loaded up ( pun intended) prior to the JEFs inauguration. I shoot 2x month, and haven't had to restock since. 550 ct. boxes of Rem .22 LR were about $16.00 back then. Them were the days.....

782 that's propaganda about the girls with tongue piercings.

that's not to please MEN.

That's to please WOMEN.

(think about it.)

784 Well, the Widow MaryAnn- who I might be seeing- or not, her still being mired in messes her late husband left her with?

Sent me a pretty picture for VD. That will do, for now.

785 Let's try this again.
First time I hit "Post", it went *POOF*

"Them were the days....."

I don't know if you saw me post the other day,
Those same bricks are available today.
No limit on the number you can buy.
Available for immediate shipment.

$129.00 each, plus shipping.

The .22lr issue is getting old. But I have found it, on rare occasions, for normal pricing.  $20 for 550 in the Cincy area.

 

It takes an almost OCD like insistence on checking the ammo counter at all stores I visit.  Most of the places have normal truck days of Tues and Thurs - you have to be there when it hits the shelf.

 

Last Thurs, Walmart here sold 20 bricks and 20 - 100 round packs in less than 1 hr.  I did get lucky that day.

787 See y'all tomorrow night. Time to go home now.

Posted by: PMRich at February 15, 2014 03:07 AM (KDUNf)

788 793 I did not see this the other day. That pricing is....insane. Why, it's almost as if Govt. was buying out the ammo stock in order to raise prices or something.....

792 There was supposed to be a blockquote:

<blockquote><3 omg i miss her i want her back <3 </blockquote>
