Bobservations

At our work Christmas party, a friend, “Maureen”, received a text from another co-worker, “Betty”. “Betty” was texting from across the room to see if “Maureen” would be interested in a three-way with “Betty” and her boyfriend “Clyde.” “Maureen” replied, ‘Ma’am, no thanks.’ and “Betty” replied that she’d been doing a lot of going down on women lately and was told she was very good.

“Maureen” again replied ‘Ma’am, no thank you.’

When “Maureen” told me, I said that “Carlos”—wait, I don’t need those quotes—Carlos and I wanted her for a three-way and she said, “Whaaaat?”

I replied, “Oh, not to be in it with us, we’ll get another guy for that, but you know, maybe you could bring us snacks and water to keep us hydrated and all.”

Carlos, when I told him, simply shook his head and said, “Why do you say these things?”

There is no answer for that.
Last week, White House Press Tool, Sarah Huckleberry Sanders, appeared on Fox’s The Ingraham Angle to respond to recent attacks against her—especially from MSNBC’S Mike Brzezinski—who say she lies every time her lips flap. And Huckleberry said:
“I think it’s sad they’re attacking a lot of us while claiming to champion women’s causes and women’s issues.”
Thus says the women who called those women who say ____ sexually harassed them ‘liars.’Then Huckleberry was asked if the Fat Bastard ever wanted her to say something that she was uncomfortable with:
“If there was ever a moment that I was uncomfortable doing something, I wouldn’t do it. That’s not part of who I am. And this president’s not going to ask me to do something I’m not comfortable with.”
There you have it, a woman, raising children of her own, is completely comfortable with calling victims of sexual harassment, assault and rape, ‘liars.’

There’s a special place in hell … 
My favorite actor, Daniel Day-Lewis’ last film is coming out and it’s called Phantom Thread. 

Am I the only one that thinks it’s a Star Wars movie?
Last year at the Oscars Brie Larson refused to applaud when ALLEGED sexual harasser Casey Affleck won; and Armie Hammer took the academy to task for nominating Affleck, but ignoring Nate Parker and his Birth of a Nation because he was acquitted of an ALLEGED rape.

This year, with the #MeToo movement building steam, many women at awards shows will be dressing in all black as a sign of solidarity.

Let the men know that the decades of harassment and assault are over.
Remember when folks commented on the Fat Bastard’s tiny hands and he was all kerfuffled and muttered something suggesting he has a large dick—when we all know he is a large dick?

Well, there’s the proof of the tiny hands … _____ using both of them to drink from a bottle of water.
Last Sunday we took Ozzo to Rectory Square Park to let him run wild, and naturally he peed on the fence just as we entered.

I said, "God, he's gotta leave his mark."

Carlos said, "He's just signing in so other dogs will know he was here."
Last week Matthew Petersen, a ______ judicial nominee, stunned America, and the world, when he could not answer ONE SINGLE QUESTION on the rule of law; and he did this right after admitting he had exactly zero relevant experience to become a federal judge.

This week Peterson withdrew his nomination because, well, stupid.
Oh Rosie, sometimes you are a tool …

Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell proudly and openly attempted to bribe Republican Senators Tuesday night to change their vote on the GOP Tax Scam and that is a felony.

O’Donnell offered “2 million to any GOP senator who votes no” on the bill but not one Republicans took her up on her offer.

Not smart, Rosie, and even if it wasn’t a crime, do we want the richest Americans bribing our elected officials? I mean, isn’t that what corporations and lobbyists are for?

Seriously, though, it was a stupid thing to do, O’Donnell.
A little palate cleanser …

We watched a movie called Split in which James McAvoy played a man with 23 personalities, and one of those kidnapped three girls. McAvoy was brilliant at switching from one personality to another, often in a single line of dialogue. That said, he is also not heard on the eyes, at least in real life.

We also watch Good Behavior because it’s nice to see Downton Abby’s Lady Mary playing a drug addicted thief, but, well, also because the Latino men on the show are hot … and murderous … like Juan Riedinger, who played killer Teo and who … SPOILER ALERT …was killed his week.

He was hot while he lasted.
In other palate cleanser news … when baseball player Cole Hamels was traded from the Philadelphia Phillies to the Texas Rangers in 2015, he and his wife Heidi had been building a mansion near Branson, Missouri. But then Hamels decided to move to Texas full time so what to do with their $9.75 million house?

Well, instead of selling it, the Hamels’ donated it to a Branson-area non-profit organization called Camp Barnabas that offers day camp programs for kids with chronic illnesses and special needs, matching each camper with their own volunteer and offering scholarships so no kid is turned away. And to make sure they can accommodate every kid regardless of any kind of need, they have a full medical facility on staff with doctors and nurses. 

Hamels said:
“There are tons of amazing charities in Southwest Missouri. Out of all of these, Barnabas really pulled on our heartstrings. Seeing the faces, hearing the laughter, reading the stories of the kids they serve; there is truly nothing like it. Barnabas makes dreams come true, and we felt called to help them in a big way.”
The 32,000-square foot mansion sits on 100 acres, and is the largest gift in the history of the organization.

Nice going Hamels family, nice going.

  1. Apart from the fact I am not a US citizen I am more qualified to be a federal judge than that twazzock Peterson - at least I know my way around a courtroom thanks to my years working in our local criminal and civil courts which is more than he can claim!

    And thumbs up to Hamels who clearly has a heart if not taste if the mcmansion is anything to go by.

  2. And here I thought you were the one to per on the fences. And don't get me started on Christmas three ways at work parties.

    Or Trump little dock. Are we sure he's not like a ken doll, with a mound of plastic to indicate where something should be??????

  3. Goddess bless Cole and Heidi Hamels! A beautiful story of generosity and community spirit for a change instead of self-centred greed and hard-heartedness.

  4. Daniel Day-Lewis leaving the film industry is a sad thing to hear. Phantom Thread does sound like a Star Wars title. hahahaaa. I saw the previews for the movie and it looks like Oscar material.
    That tweet Baked to Perfection above that election count was priceless. The Hamels are amazing. Giving their mansion to charity was the sweetest gift.
    Okay. Carlos saying Ozzo was just signing in was the funniest thing ever.

  5. The only place that Abby displays alpha dog behavior is the dog park. She will mount Tar about 3-4 times to let the other dogs know who is boss.

  8. I'll try not to make this too long, ha! First of all, thanks to Helen I have a brand new word to kick around. Twazzock, love it!

    I have a huge crush on Carlos and each time you quote him, I fall harder. It's sick! Also, that middle kid in the tub looks like he's being photo bombed by a metal mouse.

    Huckleberry Cornpone is a complete idiot! Too much inbreeding, hmmm?

    Watching Daniel Day- Lewis always makes my jaw clench.

    James McAvoy, those eyes, that voice, yum.

    That is one ugly mansion, I'm glad it will be put to such excellent use.

    I'm with Maddie about you doing the peeing! Poor Ozzo. You probably blame farts on him too.

  9. Oh, by the way, that Ozzo is one handsome fella.

  11. There are times when it wouldn't surprise me to find out that O'Donnell and Sanders were both hatched from the same egg.

  13. Um... are those sexts between co-workers really true? That's a bit frightening. And sometimes Carlos is a saint.

    Yes they are, and yes he is.

  15. Donating that big house is commendable...but who the fuck needs a 32,000 sq. ft. mansion in the first place? Our entire house is likely smaller than the master bedroom.

  16. Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob! I haven't been at my new job long enough to say the things you do (though I'm getting there!) But I can't wait to throw the bon mots you do with no one shaking their head in disbelief. A hearty and merry Solstice to you and Carlos!
