What's NOT bugging you? (2013 – 2019)

[hawing]

It's Valentine's Day, and no one in the hawing household cares, and that is fine with both of us. I feel fortunate to be on the same wavelength as the SO on this.

 

Lest you get overly jealous, the SO's birthday was less than a month ago and mine is in about a week and a half, meaning it'll be this time next week or later before the SO begins to ask if I'd like anything for my birthday.

Just made my own fish fry. Used fresh cod and a beer batter using Leinie's Canoe Paddler beer and some Penzy's Foward seasoning. Once I figured out how to fry it properly, it turned out better than any fish fry cod I have ever had at a restaurant. Best part was it cost me less to feed my wife and I plus leftovers than one fish fry would cost at our favorite place.

What did your SO get you? Its not listed here in the What's NOT bugging you thread.

[hawing]

How nice of you to ask. As I expected, by the Saturday before my Monday birthday, the SO hadn't even begun thinking of anything yet. Thus we followed the plan we first implemented in 2012: visiting a variety of stores where I usually find things I like, and his purchasing pretty much whatever I pointed to. It's fun for me and not stressful for SO.

This year we changed it up a bit by hitting the outlet mall in Oshkosh, which used to be our go-to mall when I lived in Green Bay and SO in Madison. I still like that mall, and I'm not a major shopper by any means.

I made a fish fry that day too! I had some bluegill fillets in the freezer and used the family recipe. Really hit the spot! I only have one more ziplock of fillets left from WI so I will need to get back soon to get a few more. Glad your fry turned out well!

The wonder of modern television and the internet.

 

Last night I got home from work and had the house to myself (very rare). Turned on the TV and ran across an old Rolling Stones concert on Paladia. Left it on as I was doing some chores around the house. As I glanced at the TV at one point I noticed Jagger wearing a t-shirt and the front of it was blurred out. I became curious about why it was blurred out. I hit the guide which told me that this was a concert in Fort Worth, Texas in 1978. I then went to the internet and typed in "Mick Jagger t-shirt, Fort Worth, Texas concert 1978" and was able to find links and pictures including a blog where there was a discussion of the topic. I won't get into what was on it because I don't want to turn this in to some political discussion, but I had to stop and think about how A) How cool it was that there was a 1978 Rolling Stone concert on TV at 5pm, B) How cool it was that I was able to hit a button to tell me when and where the concert took place and C) How cool it was that I was able to instantly get trivial information about this concert on the internet. None of this would have been available 20 or 30 years ago.

 

Now...I could easily post something in "What's bugging you" about modern TV and the internet, but in this instance I was very happy with these two modern "conveniences".

As an aside, Palladia is one helluva channel. I love turning that on as background for chores, etc., too.

After being long-term unemployed (for far longer than I like to admit), getting a job last month & getting promoted today... that's definitely not bugging me.

[DatHoser]

Great news, TLB!!

Congratulations. I would have a really really hard time being unemployed.

Did you read this somewhere? Just wondering.

 

If she can get $350 for a single ticket, more power to her!

I hadn't heard anything about this, but yeah, I agree.

agreed, but she is back...

 

she has a need for attention, I knew she wouldn't be gone for long. Same old crap, posting pics, then feeling all bad when people call her on her attention craving...

Three gorings today at Pamplona! That's a good day.

 

One is an American who lost his spleen (a fine effort), and two Spaniards, one of whom nearly lost his man parts and did lose his shorts (close to perfect, but not quite). The other guy seems to get it in the trapezius, which seems an unlikely place to take a horn.

 

Another victim pictured in the story below is a woman, and if this is an equal opportunity message board, I guess I should celebrate her taking one in the keester. Kudos to the bull for treating her like one of the boys.

way to go TLB!

[Nottso]

Jim's take on bullfighting and associated activities most definitely does not bug me. Nope, not in the least.

 

Edit: This will really make his day...

[JimH5]

Thank you, Nottso!

 

23 injured, though since so many of them were hurt just running scared, and because of human error, it really is a bit of a hollow victory.

 

Still. . .

 

 

"I felt anguish and helplessness for the people trapped there, not knowing how to get out," said Jesus Lecumberri, 20, a student with several years' experience running at Pamplona and other bull-running festivals.

 

A little late for that, Jesus. The best way to get out of that circumstance is to join me on my couch next year and mock the dopes who put their thoraxes and rectums at risk.

 

Lecumberri said he had charged in to the entrance alongside the first bull, but saw the pileup and quickly dived into a ground-level hatch built into the passage specifically to provide an escape route from situations like this.

 

Really? They built escape tunnels to be used during this festival? This is like a video game.

 

Javier Sesma, a health spokesman for Navarra province, said two of the 23 injured people were gored by bulls and that the others were hurt in the stampede.

 

Sesma said one runner, a 19-year-old Spaniard from Vitoria city, was seriously injured when his thorax was crushed, causing him to stop breathing at the bull ring entrance. An Irish citizen also had problems breathing because of the weight of people on top of him.

 

"His situation remains very grave, but he appears to be evolving favorably," Sesma said of the Spaniard. "We are hopeful. His life was at risk, but he is now more stable."

 

Hopefully he'll evolve from a Neanderthal into a person who doesn't get off on being part of an event that celebrates the torture and stabbing of animals.

 

The American gored Saturday is a 35-year-old from Cleveland, Ohio, who is being identified only by the initials I.L., hospital officials said. A 19-year-old Spaniard from the city of Azpeitia was gored in an armpit during the 928-yard (850-meter) dash through Pamplona's narrow streets, a statement said.

 

The American was undergoing surgery Saturday afternoon after suffering a "rectal perforation," the Navarra government, which organizes the annual festivities, said in a statement.

 

Rectal perforation! Awesome! That AP writer had to love getting that diagnosis into the story.

 

And you really have to hand it to those bulls. Amid the chaotic rush through the streets, with all the screaming and running and people everywhere, as these animals are being driven to their death, they can still lock in on a target and hit their spot. Johnny Hellweg could learn a thing or two from these bulls.

 

Still, that I.L. is going to have quite a story to tell for the next 50 years while he's out shopping for colostomy bags, and in the shower room of the health club.

 

 

Tomorrow's the last day of the festival, and while the bulls have scored a few hits, they still trail pretty badly in this match. We'll see if they can end it on a high note. There's still a LOT of sweaty, unshaven runners to skewer.

Let's call that enough of that talk on the forums. Thanks.

I just learned how to add an umlaut (ö note the two dots above the letter) to my emails. I can also do the following: ô ò ó œ ø ō õ). This is a great day indeed.
