Hi Maggie,
Everything there was 100% me. I didn’t know what Sensetti was talking about regarding the ‘doppelganger”. I was going to ask but was too busy battling the anarchists. What does it mean? I love the sign idea! I would hang something like that up in my shop next to my “beware of wife” sign.

Admin has re-shaped my mind, sometimes I think DC Sunsets is reading my mind. Stucky teleported me here. LLPOH taught me to look out for dishonesty in myself and others. I was a bit lax before, accepting it in others. Now I spot that shit and it bugs me. I know nothing about government or economics but I learned how to weigh things and calculate using the old style math.
Your a sharp tack Jellyfish and funny too. You’ve already broken a lot of noob rules but that is only to your credit. Do not let anybody discourage you, any asshole who thinks his shit doesn’t stink should not be posting here because that person doesn’t even know his own shit.
I don’t give a shit how eloquent anybody sounds, if that person isn’t willing to admit 2 or 3 twisted fantasies, that person is lying. You can totally trust me because I post 2 or 3 twisted fantasies every month. A colonoscopy is not one of them.
Jfish… to the left of your name there is a little “critter” that pops up with your login. If you are on a different computer/device, a different critter pops up (Is why you don’t see “me” now. On my laptop I don’t have my photo tied to my login on wordpress)
So, if I were to type your name on my PC and try to pretend to be you, my photo would pop up by your name (unless I went to the trouble to delete the photo before I doppled you, then reload it. But that would be a LOT of trouble to go through, so I would just come up here and dopple you from my laptop.)

December 15, 2015 10:43 pm
Sensetti says:
JFish gettin all serious and shit says: I apologize if I am missing something. But what is your exact position on the 16th Amendment. Please clarify. Thank you
What an unfortunate choice of words! If Jfish knew anything about TBP you never, ever, apologize! I’m being kind, my mentors would have gutted you!
I look forward to a conversation with you. I find your thought process intriguing. Oh, I apologize and thank you….what a cunt!!
My Ole friend Colma Rising would call you a fucking snack bag!
Smokey never attacked me, why? I have no idea. LLPOH kicked my ass hard back in the day. I got in a shit storm with him because I disrespected Ragman (whom is top fucking shelf with me) just before I had to give a talk at a dinner party, not good. There was a time you had to pay your dues to post here. Big Dogs ran the show, Smokey, Admin, LLPOH, Stucky, AWD! These smart motherfuckers would converge on you like they had a laser locked on! I’d type a response to a post, drink three Mexican beers and 2 shots of Tequila and ask myself if it was worth hitting send? Totally different environment probably better now but I miss the old days. As long as I am afforded the privilege to post on TBP I will never let the names of those who founded this place go without mention from time to time, of which I’m the least. Giants have tread this digital domain.
One more memory, AWD stood by my side that night LLPOH nuked my ass. He put himself between me and LLPOH and said “leave the boy alone he’s just sharpening his teeth” two Bigs Dogs squared off. Damn it was exhilarating back then. All you newbies have you ever even seen the words “Big Dogs” printed here?

In any case, in the words of my evil mentor, EL Ciber (i.e. EL whoever the fuck – since there seems to be so many “EL” flipping Mexican’s on this thread that I feel I am on an bad Tequila binge in Tijuana) – ANYWAY – El Ciber says no one pays my rent here.

I fully expect that the next poor sap to low-ball Stucky and complain about the paint drips and masking tape lines will get his heart ripped out from his chest. Stucky will set fire to the house and when the cops arrive they will find Stuck laid out on the front lawn weeping and muttering that he can’t, just can’t, drop another ten grand off the $300K he got twisted into last time. I’d rather burn the fucker down and move in with flash, he said. Police also noted the garage full of vintage National Geographics was spared.

Jfish, occasionally, people take a break from the doom and gloom. It is almost necessary in order to survive in the real world when a lot is going on. I’ve noticed that I can’t get a lot done around here if I am blogged down reading and fuming over the latest incorrigible antics of the D.C. Power Brokesters.
So, in the spirit of trying to give my son and stepson a reasonably pleasant Christmas in a house that is sort of ready to entertain, but not really, I am limiting my time on the computer and am sure others are as well. (One of them will either sleep in the basement or down at the treehouse, which might be better in the long run for my stepson, who has lived away for many years.)
However, I won’t ignore my quest for “300” by the end of the year.
Here is my log home as of yesterday, when Nick got the smokestack installed. [img[/img]
And here is the treehouse last year after we got the stairs put on and I didn’t have to climb a ladder to get in. We had a big snowstorm not long after the stairs went in… was I ever glad to not have to climb that ladder. People tell me they think I’m an “amazing” woman for doing that for several months until the barn was being built and the builders put the stairs on. They say they wouldn’t have done it. I think people are idiots sometimes, well, MOST times. It was the opportunity of a lifetime… to live a dream you have to build a dream and no matter what happens in my life, I will know that if the true measure of a man/woman is what they will do when a little bit of hardship comes their way, I measured up.
I don’t know why the people who built the little 600 square foot treehouse on ten foot posts (10×10 barn posts sunk into concrete) up against the little hillside did so, nor do I know why they abandoned it before it was ever finished, but I know one thing. Nick and I (and occasionally, the boy) had a blast fixing it up and living in it until the log home was built. And we saved a fortune by having living quarters for our Mennonite builders.

Listen up, noobs. Whenever I post a video, I am not flattered that it happens to be your favorite song or movie. An old dog can say this as it is relevant but noobies must come up with a ten page dissertation on why you think this video does or does not apply to the current topic.
For example: Oh gee, El Chingon, I think you meant to comment on Maggie’s video featuring that horrible Tornado actress who had no business on the big screen especially alongside Jack Nicholson. Your pairing of the hot ass Michelle Pfeiffer and Pacino is much better and suits the topic. It perfectly illustrates your point that while Tony Montana complains that he is not fresh off the banana boat, he goes on to trash talk like the simpleton he is. His stupid dance moves make Tony look like an idiot, conversely, Al Pacino makes Col Frank Slade look so smooth doing the tango in Scent of a Woman. Bravo, El Chingon. Your video samples are much needed addition to an otherwise insipid thread, they have kept me from slicing my forearms.

@ EC… did you not see what JFish gettin all serious and shit said 15th December 2015 at 12:24 am?
[El Ciber – Truth is, I really don’t think much about myself or why things happen the way they do. I just keep hitting the ball back over the net. I am only a TBP reader and recent commenter. In no way could my contributions even remotely compare to what Admin and HSF (as well as the other contributors) do here daily.
As far as I am concerned, Maggie started this thread and she should “get the prize”.
As far as you and I are concerned – well – “as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Your Father Maple / Moby dick / Scarface comparison is one of the most profound gigs I ever processed. Plus you appreciate Voltaire, the comic Shoe and know what a “Dumpster Rabbit” is.
You scare the shit out of me man. And – at the same time – you make me want to be better]
The Jack Nicholson response to HH (I agree… not fit to share the big screen with Jack but did an adequate job) was exactly the right video to accompany Jfish’s flattery.

But I still appreciated the Scarface dance. And I also recognized your comparison of young Tony fresh off the boat to Frank, who’s seen some shit, ya know? Although, it was a subtle comparison, never mentioned.
I’m going to reference it in my discussion of the Psychology of Communication, coming soon. I’ve been looking through some boxes trying to find my Miller book, in which I’ve stashed a few notes from long ago I’d like to have before finishing it. But, yes… the nuance of the comparison was almost too subtle, because I wasn’t sure you intended it for me.
Is why I asked.

Y’all bicker like an old married couple! I swear. It’s enough to make Opie want to run away from home, get drunk with Otis, steal Goober’s pick-up and try to find poor old “left a comment” to get him all fixed up.
Maggie – I really liked the photos. You and Nick definitely look like quite the Happy Homesteaders, for sure. We have Mennonites here where I live as well. But typically its the Amish that do a lot of construction in our area, like roofing, especially. They have to be bussed to the construction site because they don’t drive, but they always seem to remember to bring their power tools. I just don’t get it.
Seems like whenever I undertake projects I usually end up with the alcoholic, tattooed, chain-smoking crew, ya know?
Also – EL… uh…whatever…. Is cool that Stucky is also a fan of National Geographic. I have loved that rag since I was young boy. It’s the breast! (opps! I mean, best)

I would have never been able to post that photo above had I not went back and studied your Photobucket tutorial. Thanks for that – BTW. The only thing I didn’t like was having to set up an account. Now the NSA knows who I am & where I live. Just sayin’…
In any case – soon the corners might be rubbed off this “noob” & and maybe…., just maybe…, I MIGHT come CLOSE to approaching “Big Dogdem”…. someday….. maybe….
Probably not – but it’s nice to dream, anyway.
Then, maybe I’d start getting some more respect around here as well as more “upvotes”, ya know?
And – maybe then – I could say why I enjoyed a certain video (or post) without a 10 page dissertation to El Chamelon, ya know?
Oh well…, if you don’t have a dream, ya got nothin’. Sigh… if only…. someday….
In the meantime, I guess I will just “pay my dues” and “take my lumps” and whatever happens, happens. No hurry. I really got nuthin much else to do anyway.
I hope things are going well with your Mamma today. Have a good nite in the hills…

You have a nice view that appears to include the very important NOPIS feature (No Other People In Sight.)
I’m staying away from my mother for a time. I have a bit of congestion and am fully aware of what an infection can do to someone already weakened. She is resting most of the time anyway and it is best if I don’t run into (or over) anyone else down there in the flatlands.
My son will be here later tonight.
Did you read what “Roy” commented on the jet fuel post? About evidence about the Murrah Bldg bombing being buried on Tinker AFB? Well, I’ve been trying to figure out if there is such a place it could be hidden and have decided it just ain’t so.
I have some awesome photographs I took of the Murrah Memorial a couple years ago. I don’t go there on the anniversary date, but instead found that it was a wonderful quiet place to sit and reflect on September 11.
JFish
December 17, 2015 7:06 pm
Yeah … I saw all that on the “jet fuel” post.
It’s wild that you say “reflect on September, 11”. Because I do too. Every year. That one really got me. My kids were young and I had to explain things to them
Every 911 since I watch the YouTube videos (i.e – the ones to where you have to sign in) – and am always haunted by the people jumping and I still wonder why so many of them took off their shoes prior to lift off. I also was amazed (and honored) by the bravery exhibited on Flight 93 (i.e. “Let’s Roll)
In any case, it was HSF’s “wasp” post that finally broke me enough to start wanting to “post /comment” here on TBP instead of merely being a viewer.
Obviously, I have strong feelings about it.
I hope ‘ya feel better. Will probably “catch ‘ya on the morrow”…. TTYL…

EC! Nice to meet you and am learning lots of new Spanish words. My son had Spanish in high school, but I would bet you ten bucks he doesn’t remember any of it.
I just watched the video Sensetti posted… Dr Judy Wood discussing what the “new” weapon could be from a mechanical engineering point of view. Is almost as if there was a new technology employed in plain sight and this enormous travesty that will eventually strip us of liberty insued.
Treasure of Sierra Madre is a good book. It has dialog like the sound of 1940’s actors, short snapping sentences like Bogart’s. Things didn’t get interesting until the method actors like Brando and James Dean came around in the 50’s. Now we have come full circle, sort of, with cheap ass actors.
Years ago, the boss and his minion went on a business trip to El Paso, they were being cheap and rented a couple of rooms in a fleabag hotel right next to the border. The Dutch said they had rooms with a cheap wooden door you locked with a hook. The Italian Stallion said one room had a bath towel and the other had a hand towel. Neither had a phone and they had the option of going to breakfast at a place next door aptly called La Cucaracha. But they were quite thrilled to bring back several bottles of Tequila with the money they saved. I mention this because of the book’s description of the fleabag hotel Bogart lands in while trying to get a job in the oilfields in Mexico.
BTraven’s Los de Abajo is also a good adventure set in the Mexican Revolution if I remember correctly.
Jellyfish, you can come here and clown around for a bit, then you shoot your wad and soon you have to dig deep into your soul for some real stuff to communicate. I believe you have it. Don’t try to rush anything, you have to dig through a lot of crap to get to the real diamonds. Many folks land in the shithole of their soul and flounder in political slime, racist goo and other useless ego trips.
It’s like cleaning house after your girlfriend leaves, You don’t care for the underwear, the dirty cotton balls, makeup and fake jewelry or thousands of pairs of shoes, what you miss the most is her little sideways smirk.

Scarface is just about my favorite Al Pacino movie. Until I watch another one.
EL COYOTE SAYS:
“Sensetti, I’ve been trying to knock off some of the sprinkles on Jellydonut, it isn’t working. Like trying to graft a dick on a dyke. I am not his sensei or mentor, Maggie invited us here and I’ve been treating him rough so he wont suffer too much when the real asskicking starts. Good thing Jellyfish only has girls, he’d fuck up a son with his velvet gloves. ‘Cry and I’ll give you something to cry about’ was not a joke when we were kids.”
I keep thinking about this today. OUCH!! You “big dog” muthafuckas” got your 9th degree blackbelt in verbal online slams!! It fuckin’ STINGS! Yikes.
In any case, in the words of my evil mentor, EL Ciber (i.e. EL whoever the fuck – since there seems to be so many “EL” flipping Mexican’s on this thread that I feel I am on an bad Tequila binge in Tijuana) – ANYWAY – El Ciber says no one pays my rent here. Is cool. I’m taking a breath. Slowly. Breathe.
OK! – I’m better now –
El Ciber – I have always loved that Alice Cooper tune. It’s always made me horny.
Maggie – EL Chameleons only make life more interesting.
That all said – I just hope Stucky is OK? I am getting worried….
I fully expect that the next poor sap to low-ball Stucky and complain about the paint drips and masking tape lines will get his heart ripped out from his chest. Stucky will set fire to the house and when the cops arrive they will find Stuck laid out on the front lawn weeping and muttering that he can’t, just can’t, drop another ten grand off the $300K he got twisted into last time. I’d rather burn the fucker down and move in with flash, he said. Police also noted the garage full of vintage National Geographics was spared.
Maggie says: I’ve decided he’s a clever sort that occasionally goes off track, like we all are prone to do. [Which is] why I made this “safe post” for him to vent and avoid getting into trouble with the big dogs.
I don’t get in trouble with big dogs, it’s the fucking noobies that come here without a clue as to who is who and then they get offended and cry to Admin that some creepy troll is making them uneasy and made to feel unsafe on TBP. Like what? You never heard a bad word in your life? Never got criticized or told you are wrong?
Jfish, occasionally, people take a break from the doom and gloom. It is almost necessary in order to survive in the real world when a lot is going on. I’ve noticed that I can’t get a lot done around here if I am blogged down reading and fuming over the latest incorrigible antics of the D.C. Power Brokesters.
So, in the spirit of trying to give my son and stepson a reasonably pleasant Christmas in a house that is sort of ready to entertain, but not really, I am limiting my time on the computer and am sure others are as well. (One of them will either sleep in the basement or down at the treehouse, which might be better in the long run for my stepson, who has lived away for many years.)
However, I won’t ignore my quest for “300” by the end of the year.
Here is my log home as of yesterday, when Nick got the smokestack installed. [img

And here is the treehouse last year after we got the stairs put on and I didn’t have to climb a ladder to get in. We had a big snowstorm not long after the stairs went in… was I ever glad to not have to climb that ladder. People tell me they think I’m an “amazing” woman for doing that for several months until the barn was being built and the builders put the stairs on. They say they wouldn’t have done it. I think people are idiots sometimes, well, MOST times. It was the opportunity of a lifetime… to live a dream you have to build a dream and no matter what happens in my life, I will know that if the true measure of a man/woman is what they will do when a little bit of hardship comes their way, I measured up.
I don’t know why the people who built the little 600 square foot treehouse on ten foot posts (10×10 barn posts sunk into concrete) up against the little hillside did so, nor do I know why they abandoned it before it was ever finished, but I know one thing. Nick and I (and occasionally, the boy) had a blast fixing it up and living in it until the log home was built. And we saved a fortune by having living quarters for our Mennonite builders.

You really can do what you have to do.
Listen up, noobs. Whenever I post a video, I am not flattered that it happens to be your favorite song or movie. An old dog can say this as it is relevant but noobies must come up with a ten page dissertation on why you think this video does or does not apply to the current topic.
For example: Oh gee, El Chingon, I think you meant to comment on Maggie’s video featuring that horrible Tornado actress who had no business on the big screen especially alongside Jack Nicholson. Your pairing of the hot ass Michelle Pfeiffer and Pacino is much better and suits the topic. It perfectly illustrates your point that while Tony Montana complains that he is not fresh off the banana boat, he goes on to trash talk like the simpleton he is. His stupid dance moves make Tony look like an idiot, conversely, Al Pacino makes Col Frank Slade look so smooth doing the tango in Scent of a Woman. Bravo, El Chingon. Your video samples are much needed addition to an otherwise insipid thread, they have kept me from slicing my forearms.
Moving in last fall to supervise the barn building.

EC…
@ EC… did you not see what JFish gettin all serious and shit said 15th December 2015 at 12:24 am?
[El Ciber – Truth is, I really don’t think much about myself or why things happen the way they do. I just keep hitting the ball back over the net. I am only a TBP reader and recent commenter. In no way could my contributions even remotely compare to what Admin and HSF (as well as the other contributors) do here daily.
As far as I am concerned, Maggie started this thread and she should “get the prize”.
As far as you and I are concerned – well – “as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Your Father Maple / Moby dick / Scarface comparison is one of the most profound gigs I ever processed. Plus you appreciate Voltaire, the comic Shoe and know what a “Dumpster Rabbit” is.
You scare the shit out of me man. And – at the same time – you make me want to be better]
The Jack Nicholson response to HH (I agree… not fit to share the big screen with Jack but did an adequate job) was exactly the right video to accompany Jfish’s flattery.
That was flattery? I wonder how he ever got laid.
But I still appreciated the Scarface dance. And I also recognized your comparison of young Tony fresh off the boat to Frank, who’s seen some shit, ya know? Although, it was a subtle comparison, never mentioned.
I’m going to reference it in my discussion of the Psychology of Communication, coming soon. I’ve been looking through some boxes trying to find my Miller book, in which I’ve stashed a few notes from long ago I’d like to have before finishing it. But, yes… the nuance of the comparison was almost too subtle, because I wasn’t sure you intended it for me.
Is why I asked.
And if Left a Comment is still reading, I am apologizing again for calling this post lameass and hurting your feelings. In spite of EC’s insistence that no one apologizes on TBP, I can’t help but feel a bit guilty for making you feel unwanted here.
Maggie & EL – Dang!
Y’all bicker like an old married couple! I swear. It’s enough to make Opie want to run away from home, get drunk with Otis, steal Goober’s pick-up and try to find poor old “left a comment” to get him all fixed up.
Maggie – I really liked the photos. You and Nick definitely look like quite the Happy Homesteaders, for sure. We have Mennonites here where I live as well. But typically its the Amish that do a lot of construction in our area, like roofing, especially. They have to be bussed to the construction site because they don’t drive, but they always seem to remember to bring their power tools. I just don’t get it.
Seems like whenever I undertake projects I usually end up with the alcoholic, tattooed, chain-smoking crew, ya know?
Also – EL… uh…whatever…. Is cool that Stucky is also a fan of National Geographic. I have loved that rag since I was young boy. It’s the breast! (opps! I mean, best)
Hey Mags – here’s the evening view from my “homestead”:

Also – Mags –
I would have never been able to post that photo above had I not went back and studied your Photobucket tutorial. Thanks for that – BTW. The only thing I didn’t like was having to set up an account. Now the NSA knows who I am & where I live. Just sayin’…
In any case – soon the corners might be rubbed off this “noob” & and maybe…., just maybe…, I MIGHT come CLOSE to approaching “Big Dogdem”…. someday….. maybe….
Probably not – but it’s nice to dream, anyway.
Then, maybe I’d start getting some more respect around here as well as more “upvotes”, ya know?
And – maybe then – I could say why I enjoyed a certain video (or post) without a 10 page dissertation to El Chamelon, ya know?
Oh well…, if you don’t have a dream, ya got nothin’. Sigh… if only…. someday….
In the meantime, I guess I will just “pay my dues” and “take my lumps” and whatever happens, happens. No hurry. I really got nuthin much else to do anyway.
I hope things are going well with your Mamma today. Have a good nite in the hills…
You have a nice view that appears to include the very important NOPIS feature (No Other People In Sight.)
I’m staying away from my mother for a time. I have a bit of congestion and am fully aware of what an infection can do to someone already weakened. She is resting most of the time anyway and it is best if I don’t run into (or over) anyone else down there in the flatlands.
My son will be here later tonight.
Did you read what “Roy” commented on the jet fuel post? About evidence about the Murrah Bldg bombing being buried on Tinker AFB? Well, I’ve been trying to figure out if there is such a place it could be hidden and have decided it just ain’t so.
I have some awesome photographs I took of the Murrah Memorial a couple years ago. I don’t go there on the anniversary date, but instead found that it was a wonderful quiet place to sit and reflect on September 11.
Yeah … I saw all that on the “jet fuel” post.
It’s wild that you say “reflect on September, 11”. Because I do too. Every year. That one really got me. My kids were young and I had to explain things to them
Every 911 since I watch the YouTube videos (i.e – the ones to where you have to sign in) – and am always haunted by the people jumping and I still wonder why so many of them took off their shoes prior to lift off. I also was amazed (and honored) by the bravery exhibited on Flight 93 (i.e. “Let’s Roll)
In any case, it was HSF’s “wasp” post that finally broke me enough to start wanting to “post /comment” here on TBP instead of merely being a viewer.
Obviously, I have strong feelings about it.
I hope ‘ya feel better. Will probably “catch ‘ya on the morrow”…. TTYL…
Maybe the shoes got hot, Jelly. We have wildfires in the summer and when the flames are too close to the road, car tires catch fire, don’t know if it’s just due to the heat or direct contact with flames.
Stop dreaming about big dogdom, Admin as much as admitted if you can kick his ass, the badge is yours. You might want to a couple of Lance Armstrong’s blood bags on standby for a quick transfusion if needed.
EC! Nice to meet you and am learning lots of new Spanish words. My son had Spanish in high school, but I would bet you ten bucks he doesn’t remember any of it.
I just watched the video Sensetti posted… Dr Judy Wood discussing what the “new” weapon could be from a mechanical engineering point of view. Is almost as if there was a new technology employed in plain sight and this enormous travesty that will eventually strip us of liberty insued.
ensued? Molon Labe. Dammit.
Oh… man.. HA, HA!
No disrespect to Admin whatsoever..
But I just can’t resist….

Treasure of Sierra Madre is a good book. It has dialog like the sound of 1940’s actors, short snapping sentences like Bogart’s. Things didn’t get interesting until the method actors like Brando and James Dean came around in the 50’s. Now we have come full circle, sort of, with cheap ass actors.
Years ago, the boss and his minion went on a business trip to El Paso, they were being cheap and rented a couple of rooms in a fleabag hotel right next to the border. The Dutch said they had rooms with a cheap wooden door you locked with a hook. The Italian Stallion said one room had a bath towel and the other had a hand towel. Neither had a phone and they had the option of going to breakfast at a place next door aptly called La Cucaracha. But they were quite thrilled to bring back several bottles of Tequila with the money they saved. I mention this because of the book’s description of the fleabag hotel Bogart lands in while trying to get a job in the oilfields in Mexico.
BTraven’s Los de Abajo is also a good adventure set in the Mexican Revolution if I remember correctly.
Jellyfish, you can come here and clown around for a bit, then you shoot your wad and soon you have to dig deep into your soul for some real stuff to communicate. I believe you have it. Don’t try to rush anything, you have to dig through a lot of crap to get to the real diamonds. Many folks land in the shithole of their soul and flounder in political slime, racist goo and other useless ego trips.
It’s like cleaning house after your girlfriend leaves, You don’t care for the underwear, the dirty cotton balls, makeup and fake jewelry or thousands of pairs of shoes, what you miss the most is her little sideways smirk.
EC
What in the wide, wide world of sports is agoing on in here? You and Jfish and Maggie still meeting in this thread like a clubhouse?? Can I come in and learn the secret handshake?
It’s a little safe space Maggie created with the express purpose of getting to 300 comments. It’s almost like masturbating with a purpose.
I get to post my favorite vids and Maggie posts naked bunny pics. I have no idea what Jfish is trying to accomplish but he’s getting better at it, he even added a graphic, wow!
Like any great idea, a prophet always pops up to predict it after the fact, that happened today, which means, we’ve arrived, baby..
Someday, somebody will predict the need for a blog just like TBP where folks can exercise a by then illegal freedom of speech.
