I split up a whole ash tree this afternoon. There's something immensely satisfying about swinging the maul and having a big round split in two.; 3/22/15, 9:19 PM
MadisonMan said...: When to a meeting today. Discovered when I got there that the meeting was yesterday.

Oops.; 3/22/15, 9:25 PM
Meade said...: Same sunset at exact same time, 10 miles away at dog park. Sandhill cranes background trumpeting.; 3/22/15, 9:27 PM
MadisonMan said...: *Went*

And then I walked the dog tonight. Snow falling. Nuts.

At least it won't stick around.; 3/22/15, 9:27 PM

Looks about right.

Nice win by WI, although I won't forgive the Russell Wilson led losing effort to U of O in the damn Rose Bowl.

O.

W.

W.

O.

It's OW or WO depending on your vantage, verbotenness included.; 3/22/15, 9:39 PM
David said...: "We won."

Yes, but that must be the sun setting on national title hopes. The Badgers can not get to the basket, and lack a really first class ball handler. Their defense is good but they had to score 72 points to beat a mediocre team with only one real weapon. I see trouble ahead.

(They do seem to handle pressure pretty well. There were several times when Oregon got close that the Badgers could have started to panic, but they kept their cool. Only if the more talented teams wilt under the pressure do they have a chance.); 3/22/15, 9:40 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: They waited to show Barry until the game was locked up.

Just like Barry wanted them to.; 3/22/15, 9:44 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Donna Shalala could become VPOTUS and still be second fiddle to Barry. Alvarez I mean.; 3/22/15, 9:49 PM
Original Mike said...: "When to a meeting today. Discovered when I got there that the meeting was yesterday."

Good way to get "volunteered" for something.; 3/22/15, 9:56 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Glad to see David knows what hope means.

Inspiring to see this wisdom.; 3/22/15, 11:50 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: "a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen:

: to cherish a desire with anticipation

To wish for a particular event that one considers possible: We are hoping for more financial support."

These, as is Marriott Edgars, are my creations I demand compensation for.; 3/22/15, 11:52 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: I guess in hindsight I would have hoped that the Badgers never trailed.

I guess in hindsight I would have hoped there were no injuries, majorwise.

I guess in hindsight I can figure out ways to bullshit what "hope" means as a means to more understand the Left's amongst.

The Great Jeff Goldstein at Protein Wisdom went over this material many years ago, people shat in his general direction, and now we all wonder why things aren't right.

That Protein Wisdom has been telling you for years, YEARS, in ways I could never could.

Yeah, I just wrote "could never could" and I will do again if you egg me on, and therein lies the power of observation, bird-brain-like, as opposed to mere ideology however glam it may be.; 3/23/15, 12:03 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: David would be accurate, in some sense, to say after the Badgers lost to Oregon, "that is the sunrising on the Badgers title hopes."

Guildofcannonballs said...: "really first class ball handler."

Freud called.; 3/23/15, 12:06 AM
David said...: "Freud called."

And I hung up on the motherfucker again.; 3/23/15, 12:29 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: "hung up" being some variation of "reach around" I presume.; 3/23/15, 12:41 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Myself, I have been compromised.

Firstly, I spell it comprimised.

No "o" for me.

I understand the need for convention and won't press this issue now.

Secondly, finally, my point stands: they will talk of Freud and not us, thank God.; 3/23/15, 12:44 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Example:

Grey day today, it's a gray day today.

All I have to say, is gray day today.

Gray day today, it's a gray day today.

All I have to say, is, gray day today.; 3/23/15, 12:46 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Tax talk halves you.

Obama's IRS, that he read about in the news, is what Harvard Law has wrought.

I, with akin to a drugged-up imagination though lacking those fundable escapes, can't imagine the horrors.

All I know is those Harvard Kennedy Leftist's will know how to implement any and every horror I can't imagine.; 3/23/15, 12:56 AM
Guildofcannonballs said...: “Oh, you know, the kind of person who says dull things dully”.

You know.

Because it's me.

IT'S ME!

Come, hear, Uncle John's Band, by the riverside.

Got something's to talk about, hear beside the Mountain tide.

Come hear, Uncle John's Band, playing through the night, come on a long; or go alone.

Hear beside teh riverside.

Come hear Uncle John's band, glow into the light, she's come to take her children home.; 3/23/15, 3:50 AM
Joe Schmoe said...: Congrats to Wisconsin. I don't share David's bleak outlook above because I've seen wisconsin play more than one game. They're a one-seed for a reason. They've beaten top-flight teams already. Nobody waltzes through the NCAA tourney without a tough game here and there.; 3/23/15, 5:26 AM
rhhardin said...: Romantic comedy question: I've avoided any labelled "Hallmark" as likely to be the stupid corner of the romcom genre.

I'm at the point, though, after 250 of them, that I have to either raise my cheapo price limit or branch out.

Are any Hallmark romcoms any good?

"I could never be your woman" incidentally is entertaining if not exactly a romcom. Very good performance by Paul Rudd.

Maybe you could see it as winning the woman by being good natured and funny, against the woman's melodramatic tendencies.; 3/23/15, 6:41 AM
Big Mike said...: Going into the weekend the Washington metropolitan area had three teams in the tournament seeded 2 (Virginia), 4 (Georgetown), and 4 (Maryland). They're all out.

So ends the myth of good basketball in Washington, DC.

Barack Obama will no doubt blame George Bush.; 3/23/15, 8:11 AM

Well, it's a photograph.; 3/23/15, 8:27 AM
rhhardin said...: Wiki says about Hallmark

"The network's targeted demographic is women in their late forties who won't accept reality."; 3/23/15, 8:39 AM
Meade said...: In February 2008, the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign purchased an hour of Hallmark Channel's primetime slots under a paid programming arrangement to run a special promoting Clinton's campaign for President of the United States on February 4, the day before the multi-state "Super Tuesday" primaries.; 3/23/15, 12:31 PM
