Fare Thee well
Author: Raine    Date: 12/31/2012 14:48:40

In my last blog of 2012, I direct you to Velveeta's year-end blog. I'm no good at year end lists...

We had a few bonus blogs on Saturday -- one from yours truly and one from our friend, Jacob Dean.

Today December 31,is the final day of the year before the the Bush Tax cuts officially expire. We've written of this ad nauseum. There appears to be some movement in the negotiations, and as I sort it out, I will update.

Until then, I wish you a happy last day of 2012. You have meant the world to me in the past, and I fully expect the same in 2013. Sometimes things not changing is a good thing.

Peace and Love to you and your family,

Raine

Futons are created for much younger people to sleep on, you are forewarned.

So is 2013 gonna be any better than 2012? I don't know.

Psychics, who don't you know what is wrong with your website before you call? Because you are a bunch of frauds, that's why!

I think I left my spine at my cousin's place. Why did they invent something more torturous to sleep on then a pull out sofa?

Think of the futon as the pull out sofa's hipper young cousin.

The army cot is the pull out sofa's cranky, drunk step-father.

Yes, because it would have been so much more humane for those babies to not hear the sound of their utter massacre.




Comment by Raine on 12/31/2012 15:39:45
We'll see if today is the day. I've been going over a few of our past blogs to do research on the what is happening today on the hill...

I'd be interested in seeing if this pans out the way it seems it might be.

In defense of the futon, I will say this: the futon the average American is familiar with is nothing like an actual Japanese futon. The real thing (or a close approximation like I had prior to Mrs Mondo) is about 3-5 inches of heavy cotton batting quilted together. It is firm, yet very comfortable. This is far different that the spine jarring, notional futon signifiers that we are more familiar with.

I am just felt my IQ drop about 20 points by knowing the Kim Kardashian has been knocked up by Kanye.

And shame on Salon for having the Kardashian-West spawn as one of the breaking stories on its home page.

Tonite at le casa de Bob-n-Raine: a pot of sauce and sausage and peppers.

Comment by wickedpam on 12/31/2012 16:35:37



I gave up on all the games they are shutting down a while again. serious loading issues and lag, I want them to move all their games to their site so I can play them either place since loading on FB takes forever for some games.

Comment by Will in Chicago on 12/31/2012 16:55:21
Good morning, bloggers!!! I hope that everyone is well.

As I reflect on this year, I have accomplished much but not everything that I wanted. I have a Massachusetts teaching license and visited the Bay State, but no job has yet materialized there or here. I will hope that 2013 brings something full time.

Thank all of you for your support and friendship this past. We are a community that supports each other through trying times. This year has been a challenge for us all.

So, I wish you not just a last good day of the year but a good year in 2013. Peace.

So yeah, I had a horrible nightmare last. I proceeded to toss and turn after said nightmare woke me up

Comment by livingonli on 12/31/2012 17:21:53
Good day, everyone, Off the next two days so I can kick back and relax, And then I have to decide which of the multitude of TV marathons to tune into since I already know we have Twilight Zone, Odd Couple, Honeymooners, Three Stooges, and another Doctor Who marathon on BBC America,

Comment by livingonli on 12/31/2012 17:26:25
As for the Zynga shutdown, I had been invited to both Mafia Wars 2 and Vampire Wars but I never started either although I did play Treasure Isle but not in a while, Since I had been busy with the move I had ramped down the amount of Zynga playing I was doing and I had some issues with the game loading on facebook and I just thought it was my home internet connection was slow, I may go back to some of my games after the Holidays but it seems like a lot of my facebook friends who were playing are not playing them anymore,

ugh - I can't stand the Twilight Zone marathon any more - at this point its lazy programming - they do it about 4 times a year

when things start to take forever to load and require 100 people to send me 1000 different things I get frustrated and stop playing

Oh Modified Rapture! I know what I will be buying on DVD next Tuesday! "Archer" Season 3 of course. "Wait, I had something for that..."

Comment by TriSec on 12/31/2012 17:32:27
Afternoon, Comrades!

TriSec is not working today. We'll be going out to play in the snow after lunch.

Futon? Try a hammock!

We've got two more days worth of eating....tonight is our annual fried food fest...got wings, pizza rolls, cheese sticks, and some Cuban stuff to fry. (and maybe fried dough, too!)

Lasagna is on tap for tomorrow....with Mama TriSec's homemade sauce!

I've been calling our friends at the NRA the "National Recidivist Association" for almost 20 years now.

And finally, like I said on FB....2012, GET YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!





Comment by TriSec on 12/31/2012 17:33:50
Oh, and when in Boston, the Three Stooges Marathon is mandatory.

So did I mention that I went to beach on Saturday? I've gotten hatred from three friends who live in Massachusetts. I want more hate, pile it on! The pictures from the adventure are on Boek van die gesigte

I guess WSBK still does it on New Year's Eve, Antenna TV is running it all day New Year's Day (which I get as a WPIX sub-channel), The only digital sub-channels that seem to be worth watching are the ones that have become to old TV shows like Me-TV, Antenna TV, etc,

WSBK does a good job with this. It's almost all-Curly. There may be a Shemp in the early going, but none of the other, lesser, stooges appear.

(The two that get played every year are the big pie fight, and the "Woman Hater's Club". That's the first one, entirely in verse. Quite different from the rest, it is interesting to see.) I had to watch "You Natzy Spy" on YouTube - I wish they'd play that one.

Thanks, since I have a passing familiarity with Cuban cuisine I figured there was pork products involved.

Excellent! Do they play "Hold That Tiger?" Which is notable for two things; it is the only Stooges short that has all four of the original Stooges and it is Curly's last on screen appearance (granted it is a post-stroke cameo with no lines).

Did I just win the Stooges geek off?

I have seen "You Natzy Spy" and "I'll Never Heil Again" (the sequel) on various Stooges marathons over the years, And a tidbit that "You Natzy Spy" came out before Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", At least it beats watching the shorts on AMC and IFC where they insist on putting at least two commercial breaks in each short,

BTW I can be there in 17 hours and 15 minutes give or take.

Comment by Will in Chicago on 12/31/2012 18:04:06
I will likely be home tonight. I don't go to a lot of parties, seldom drink and there are a lot of idiots on the road tonight.


I am reasonably optimistic about my chances for the job that I am interviewing on Wednesday, but I think that I will still keep my resume in circulation, particularly out in Massachusetts. On March 31, 2013, the city may release a recommendation list of schools to close. So, it will help to have options.

These films, along with Three Stooges shorts, and the Marx Brothers ran a lot on WGN when I was a kid.

Looks like the estate tax is going to 40% -- estates 5 million and under exempted-- I believe that in 2009 it was 7 million.
