I'm tired of Obama. I'm tired of the New Democrats. I'm tired of DLC. I'm tired

[Revolution]

Not going on a trip, sir.

Going to have pieces of my face, neck, and shoulders removed.

Not to worry; it's, uh, rather routine for me anymore.  It always ends well.

I'll be back maybe Wednesday evening, but more likely sometime during the day Thursday.

You'll know I'm back when you see "Mrs. Alfred Packer does Christmas" launched here.

Even though it always goes well, you say, I'm still sending my best thought. Hopefully it goes painless, and smooth. Take care, frank. We are all hoping you're back soon!!

[franksolich]

You be careful on your trip, Coach.

I just dropped in for a minute tonight, as I'm, uh, pretty grouchy and ill-tempered.

It went fine, in outpatient late this morning, all done with that part.

A few stitches here and there--five--but most just red spots on the skin and some bandages.

But it still takes me about three days to get over the vile evil temper it always puts me in, and so I'm still away--other than a daily "check-in"--until at least Wednesday, more likely Thursday. 

And then ten days from now, there's the thighs and the legs.

Oh my, I wish you the best, Frank, in whatever you are going through.  It sounds quite more serious than just your deafness.  My prayers sent for you.  Talk to us, your pals by PM, if you want.  We're here for ya!

My best wishes to you and a big

Good luck with everything Frank. I hope all goes well.

[AllosaursRus]

Well, of course one has to use discretion, judgement, here.

For example, I wouldn't call the anti-0bamaites "misbehaving," because they have the long-term interests of Skins's island at heart.  So in other words, no, I wouldn't report any inhabitants of Pitcairn Island.

(By the way, franksolich just learned that at 6'3" tall, he would tower over their boy over there by 10"; for some reason I always thought the Allentown dude was a tall guy.)

It'd be a case-by-case stool-pigeoning, and the cross-eyed Iowa primitive, who's riding the disability gravy train using a counterfeit ticket, is a good case.  And also the rich kid the grazing primitive, who's an 0bamaite stealth infiltrator among the non-0bamaites.

Those, I'd rat on, no qualms at all--and it helps Pitcairn Island, too, by weeding out the riff-raff.

<<doing it as a public service.

The AllenTownJerk is stunted in vertical growth because they can't stack shit that high!

Just sayin'.........

Sounds like the same shit my Nana had to go thru every so many years. Made her mad as hell, too! Have a scotch on me Coach! I always find good scotch tends to mellow my more than adequate temper!

[Ptarmigan]

The Dummies are tired of any "Democrat" that doesn't have the same belief system of Che...Hugo Chavez or Joseph Stalin.

Until they can install the second coming of one of those dictators in the White House...NONE of the DUmmies will ever be happy.

You can't please a DUmmy. They are like a batty child and I mean REALLY batty.

Oh now.

It has to be a handicap, if one has to stand on tip-toes to see what's on the kitchen-counter.

Anyway.

You and I being the same height, sir, we both understand short men.

(I dunno about you, but for me, any adult male under 6' tall is "short".)

It drives me nuts, the chips on their shoulders.

One is always compelled to rap the knuckles on top of their heads, commenting, "Okay, okay, I'm sure it's a nuisance that you have to use a stepladder to reach anything in the middle of the dining room table, and have to sit atop six enormous dictionaries to drive a motor vehicle, and I feel for you, bud, but hey, size does not a man make.  Some of my best friends are midgets.  No one's challenging your manhood.  Accept, adapt, and move on."

My father was 6" tall exactly, as were my older brothers and my younger brother.  I added three inches perhaps because of my diet heavy in dairy products; milk (the whole stuff, none of this diluted stuff) is man's best friend.

Dutch and Danish males are the tallest males (on "average") in Europe; we don't have hardly any silver-skating Hans Brinkers here in Nebraska, but we are a little heavy on those of Danish derivation, probably the largest plurality of them in all the 50 states.  Among Nebraskan males, I make it, but just barely, into the "tall" category; I recall that when living in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it did seem that I was usually a head taller than most, when in a crowd.

In other words, out here, I'm considered tall, but not remarkably so.  A tad little bit taller than average, but not enough to make it extraordinary, or worth commenting upon.

But that doesn't mean franksolich considers a dwarf a mere 5'5" tall to be any less of a man than he is.

Anyway.

The head and neck and shoulders are still tender and sore, but nothing unusual.

And I'm still in a bitchy, crabby, glum, saturnine mood.

However, as in the past, it's passing.  I'll be back either Wednesday later in the day, or Thursday early in the day; look for "Mrs. Alfred Packer does Christmas," to notice when franksolich has ambled out of the gloom.

One of the most striking memories I have of my first visit to Japan was rush hour in Shinjuku Station, probably the busiest commuter terminal in the world, looking out over a literal sea of coal black hair. You become accustomed to it after awhile, but the first time it's a shocking sight.

Thoughts, and prayers your way, sir. Though, you could put that vile, evil temper to use with the primitives.

I'm tired of Obama, the New Democrats, and the DLC, too.

I'm also tired of the old Democrats and their "I don't belong to any political party and think they're all crooks but I vote Democrat and support leftist social causes all of the time" shills.

I'm tired of liberals on Facebook and elsewhere making tired old references to Bush's flaws and mistakes when there's a new president in the White House with a whole slew of flaws and mistakes to address that never get any attention from them. I'm also tired of the clueless liberals who sneer down their upturned noses at regular folks who like to wave American flags and accuse us of hiding behind patriotism because we know nothing about civics, yet they vote for Democrats and support their proven failures, time and again.

I'm tired, too. Effing tired. That's why I voted Republican this past election.

[Tess Anderson]

I had no idea the Allentown Jerk was that tiny - I'm over two inches taller than he is, "compensation"?

Frank, hope it all goes well. Hawkeye X was over at the tree earlier this morning, he was TS'd at the DUmp.

As usual Coach you have a way of explainin' exactly what's on most of our minds!

I have run into "little man syndrome" many times in my life. Most of them tend to beat women and end up with a broken nose when I have anything to do with it. The worst was a BIL when I was just a young lad. He was about 3 years my senior. Every time he got a buzz he wanted to confront me. I lost count of the number of times I stomped a mud puddle in his ass, yet he would do it over and over again, never learning it was going to be the only outcome.

Not sayin' the "jerk" has this tendency, but I have to admit, he has the attitude!

Welcome to the sane side of society!

Thank God I only dabbled with the insane side. How can liberals stand themselves?

[franksolich]

I had no idea the Allentown Jerk was that tiny - I'm over two inches taller than he is, "compensation"?

Frank, hope it all goes well. Hawkeye X was over at the tree earlier this morning, he was TS'd at the DUmp.

I just checked with clarebootheluce; no response from my fellow alum Skins regarding the retarded cross-eyed Iowa primitive, but then and again, I really didn't expect one.

If Skins had acknowledged my message to him, the primitives would be up in arms, claiming my fellow alum is in franksolich's pocket, and does what franksolich tells him to do.

That wouldn't look good for my fellow alum, and so by not responding to me, he's done the right thing.

Thus is Skins's honor preserved, and franksolich gets what he wants.

Just so long as he does what franksolich asks him to do, I'm happy.

Now it's up to the Pitcairn Islanders to do what they need to do.

As for the first comment, madam, I could never get this "short man" mentality, and for some reason, women don't seem to be afflicted with it.  Women seem to be happy no matter what height they are.

The record clearly shows that franksolich has nothing but respect and admiration for most men, no matter their height.  I point to the example of my story about my great-grandfather, who was all of 33" tall and whom, I hope to God in telling his story, I described him as he actually was, larger than life, more of a man than most men.

I always wanted to do a story on my late Uncle Lido, the only Italianate graft on my family tree, the husband of a sister of my mother.  But alas I was never destined to know Uncle Lido, who was just under 5' tall.

One of the photographs I have of him clearly shows this was a guy one wouldn't want to mess with, even if one had 15" of height over him.  He looks as if simply by looking at a leg, he'd break it.  And that's a photograph of him being laid back and mellow, in a good mood, having a good time.

But for lack of information about him, I'm compelled instead to write about people about whom I know more, such as Mrs. Alfred Packer.....

[AllosaursRus]

How ya doin' Coach? Is it gettin' better? I know my Nana was a real "she bear" when she had that shit done! It was the only time she smoked my cigarettes in the 20 years after she quit!

Oh, I'm out of sorts, and actually, more out of sorts today, than I had been yesterday.

It's under control, though; the cats have been misbehaving at various times, but it's under control enough that even though the patience is worn thin, the cats remain unharmed and at ease.

This all goes back to my "God has a sense of humor" thing, in which one is reminded to not be too proud.

For years and years and years I prided myself in taking vigorous measures so as to avoid the problems of the parents and siblings, the ailments and afflictions of a too-easy, too soft, too comfortable, life, leading to their alas premature demises.  I prided myself in being smarter than them.

But then God intervenes with a sense of humor, and much to my dismay and vexation, despite that I've been "good" and done all the "right" things, presents me with something which which they never had to deal.

Thus are the wages of arrogance, but one can't help being oneself.

[Revolution]

We don't mind your arrogance. Actually, it's quite helpful, since you are, at the same time, humble. Keep yourself relaxed, and pleased, frank. We're all here for you, sir.
