Bobservations

The other day someone rang the bell at Casa Bob y Carlos. I was at the back of the house, so I yelled to Carlos about the bell; I got no response. So, I went out to see what was what and found Carlos at the door talking to someone … a  salesperson hawking those doorbell cameras. Carlos ever so politely told the woman he was in the middle of something and asked if she had a brochure he could look at; she did not. She kept talking, and Carlos’ voice turned gruffer, as he told he was cooking dinner and didn’t have time to stand and talk. The woman said she understood and proceeded again with her sales pitch.

As I am the Mean One to people who come a ‘knocking at the door trying to sell gutters or a new roof or the Baby Jesus, I was about to step in, when Carlos said:

“Ma’am! I've explained to you that I do not have time. If you have no printed information, I suggest you get off my porch and off my property. I will be making a call to your company [Vivint] to complain and will tell you that if I ever need or want a doorbell camera, your company is the last company I will pick. Good day.”

I loved him for that, and for saying ‘Good day’ like he was Joan Crawford.

Y’all probably already knew this, but Tuxedo was LGBTQ+-friendly when being LGBTQ+-friendly wasn’t cool.

That’s my boy.

Jurors at a civil trial found that rapist Bill Cosby raped a 16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 and awarded the girl, Judy Huth who is now 64, $500,000.

Jurors believed Cosby raped the girl, knew she was under 18, and that his conduct was driven by unnatural or abnormal sexual interest in a minor.

Lock him back up.

I was looking for a new pair of short shorts for summer and found a pair I liked, but they didn’t have a pocket for my phone so I modified them slightly,

I like ‘em better now.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York, which aims to prevent voter suppression or dilution based on race or language preference.

I guess if the members of the GOP in Congress don’t want equal rights at the polls, perhaps We The People need to do it state by state.

Russian journalist Dmitri Muratov put up his Nobel Peace Prize for auction and it was sold to an anonymous buyer for $103.5 million, obliterating the record for a Nobel medal.

Muratov instantly gave all the money away to UNICEF to aid Ukrainian children and their families displaced by Russia’s invasion of their country.

That’s how it’s done.

More Carlos … we have a guy, Craig, who does projects around Casa Bob y Carlos for us, and he was here the other day doing some work inside the house. He’s gotten to know the cats over the years and is used to Tuxedo following him around and checking his work or offering to help; and he knows Consuelo will look at him, and the disappear the rest of the time he’s working. And he knows Max will see him, turn tail and run, so he was surprised this day when he walked into the guestroom and Max was in there, and didn’t move when he saw Craig. Craig asked me if Max was losing his hearing because he didn’t hear Craig in the room, and I told him Max was about 17-years-old and has some health issues, but I didn’t think hearing was one of them. I added that Max was the “crazy one” in the house, and Craig said:

“After Carlos, right?”

And he was right.

Mehmet Oz, the quack “doctor” and GOP nominee for the Senate from Pennsylvania spent his entire primary run boasting about Thing 45’s endorsement of him.

But my oh my how things have changed with the January 6th Hearings. Oz and his team are quietly shifting his campaign message away from Thing 45, and his banners now say, “Thank you, Pennsylvania” and no longer feature any phots of Oz and Thing.

Pandering fuck.

Peter Finn is an actor and model, living in Los Angeles, but enough about that …Would You Hit It?

  2. Hooray for Dmitri Muratov; if only all Russians were like him, there'd be no war.

    1. Very cool of him to do that.

  3. Yes, of course I'd let Mr. Finn has his way with me. Who do you think I am?
    And I'm still cackling at Carlos saying 'Good Day'. Loves it!
    And how come Oz is still running that campaign? And of course he's 'pivoting' from Cheeto. Oh, joy. Love backstabbing in the morning.

    XOXO

    1. Finn looks a little like every blond surfer dude in SoCal but I'm kind of okay with that.
      Carlos can sound so proper sometimes. I just wish he'd rock the massive shoulder pads, too.
      Fuck Oz.

  4. Bravo to Carlos! The "good day" cracked me up. Didn't Paul Harvey sign off his radio shows like that?

    And bravo to Muratov for showing how it's done.

    I expect Oz thought a Trump endorsement would be good in the primary, when he's trying to outflank candidates even farther right than he is, but now that he's in the general he's trying to moderate his message.

  5. I'm here for Carlos Tales and yay, there're two! I love the shorts, but those pockets look painful. Lose 'em! Peter Finn looks too much like a live version of Beavis or Butthead (I'm not sure who is who). I wouldn't be able to get pass that. Maybe a face bag? Okay, I'm off on a flight of fantasy.

    1. It was a bountiful Carlos week, and I need those pockets for my phone!!!!
      I'm not sure I would know a Beavis from a Butthead, but if they look as good nekkid as Peter Finn then I'm here for it.

    2. Get a holster, Bobulah! It won't obscure the view.

    3. A phone holster? What am I, a farmer?

  7. I'd nail Pete over and over!!!

    Carlos is a riot. That's happened to me too...but i get very insult comic...or even morbid. Like...Cant talk right now...Im disposing of a body.

    Doesn't surprise me one bit that Oz is doing that. He has been flip flipping the whole time anyhow. I hope Fetterman nails his ass.

    And Dimitri...now their is a man who is a gentleman and with a gentle heart.

    1. I think Peter might like getting nailed.
      Carlos is funny, and he doesn't even know it.
      Oz is the worst kind of politician.
      Dimitri; we need more like that.

  8. The funny thing about Oz is that as Trump's chosen, he only won by 954 votes. The MAGAs like Qanon McCormick, who's almost virulently extreme. However, Oz can't even come close to winning without the MAGA vote and they will most likely write-in McCormick. Oh, and I'd grab onto Peter's Finn.

  9. Way to go, Carlos. That first tale of Carlos was awesome. Those shorts are interesting and they will pair well with Peter's one sock look.

    1. Carlos was funny, because he's usually so polite, but this woman would not take no for an answer.
      Short shorts and one sock might became the new "thang."

  10. I loved the Carlos story about the salesperson. I always hate those moments when you are trying to get rid of a person at your door hawking some crap that you don't want.

    1. It seemed like a scam because she had no printed info juust a hat with the company name, Vivint, on it.

  11. I love it when Carlos is butch and in charge. She is a sure a Southern gentleman. Only a true southern can be polite and give you side eye at the same time. Two for one!! That should be a warning to you to sleep with one eye open after a row.

    1. Carlos likes to channel his inner Joan Crawford at just the exact right moment.
      Be afraid.

  12. Good day, madam! (You know already that Carlos is a keeper.) I need a new pair of shorts and love your design. As for Peter Finn, he really doesn’t push all my buttons,. But, what the hell. I’ve got nothing planned this weekend.

    1. Peter's a nice distraction.
      The one issue with the shorts would be the weird tan lines.
      I almost left when Carlos said "Good day!"
