Mr. Mcknob's list of this to hump on this weeks Hump day post. These are totally playful rants with a semi serious undertone. It's all in fun so don't get your drawers in a wad. K. Remember I love you all. Well... not you troll. Go away.
#1 Hump those tiny, uncomfortable and sometimes painful bits of popcorn that get stuck in your teeth. I hate em and move to find a way to eliminate them.
#2 Hump people that look down on others for their political stands and hump dirty politics. Politics are ridiculous now days. Yeah I said it and therefore I stand behind it. I also invite anyone, including members of congress, to argue the point with me. (p.s. I think 90% of politicians are corrupt)
#3 Hump the Squidbillies show. How dare they make fun of us like that. I cross all eight of my arms pissed of every time I see it on TV. We aren't all like that.
#4 Hump people that call Soccer "football." You obviously aren't a red blooded American and have never been to Texas Stadium to see a Cowboy's game. (I haven't been there yet so if you get a chance, I wanna go!) Futbol is not an American word. If I went to England and asked for chips, I wouldn't expect a bag of Lay's. Get it right people and stop arguing with me. I'm right... period.
#5 Hump airlines. All of them. You mean to tell me that you can put over a million dollars of sensitive electric equipment, high powered radars, radios that can reach for hundreds of miles, and an indestructible "black box" in your planes but nothing that will video record the cockpit? I really give 2 shits about a pilots privacy when my life is in his hands. If a doctor messes up during surgery, a patient (1) may die. If a pilot is asleep, I mean on his laptop and unaware of his surroundings for over an hour, he still has the life of many people in his hands. The pilots union stopped airlines from putting in security cameras in planes due to "privacy" issues. they get paid more than 3 times what I make I have cameras on me at work. What's the difference. Yeah, I'd prefer not to have them on me but I am not responsible for 100+ human lives either.
Points to ponder. =P
I've been tweeting and facebook'ing more these days. You are more than welcome to add me on either or both. If you follow me (twitter) let me know if I don't start following you within a few days so I can start following you. I am @mrmcknob on Twitter. I will have to find my facebook link and post it later. Can't do it at work. If someone has it, please post it in comments. Have a good day and rest of the week. I won't get to post much until we get back on our feet. Until then, I'll be working late.

find a dental scraper or pick like the dentists use for that popcorn crap. I actually had a dentist give me one, because I kept getting infections from those itty-bitty pieces of popcorn! I've seen those picks at flea markets...
Hump dat!
That's why I rearely eat popcorn....cannot stand food that gets stuck in my teeth.
Politics are fine. I don't necessarily agree with the people on either side, but better to have some system than no system.....although sometimes you gotta wonder.
I have no idea what a squidbilly is or what show you are talking about...gonna have to inquire with Goggle there.
Football...I actually like that it's one thing here and something different somewhere else. Makes us different and I like different!
And that thing about the pilots was nuts! How freakin' scary! It's just as bad as a doctor operating on you while he's like on a cell phone or something...I mean focus people....this is what you are being paid to do. Please, please, please do your job!
And Twitter just doesn't make any sense to me....who really wants to be THAT up-to-the-minute with someone else? Not to say you shouldn't do it or like it....it just seems kind of too much. I like to see you and wonder what has been up with you, not KNOW what has been up with you. Takes away a lot of the mystery, doesn't it?
Or maybe I don't get the whole concept.....probably 'cuz I'm old! ha!
ha ha...rarely , not rearly!!
I dont really get the twitter thing either. I'm giving it a shot though. I have this option to look at nearby tweets and IT IS COMICAL. The crap that comes out of memphis.
The title Hump Dat 10/28 is a typo but closly resembles the garbage that comes out of parts of the local twitter community along with racism and hate. AHHhhhh! Home sweet home.
Ahem ... "football" has been around since the 1400s and it describes a sport in which the FEET are used more than any other body part. "American football" describes a sport in which the HANDS are used more than any other body part. Watch it, Yanky boy, or this Brit might just have to smack you upside the head with a wet haddock. :)
Ahem... In America, Football means football. In England football means soccer. Did you see my "chips" comparison? I figured most Americans wouldn't get it because the word "chips" mean only one thing here. What do Brit's call a bag of doritos?
And my frustration is with American's calling soccer "football." It's like they are trying too hard to fit in. I have NO quirks with people outside the US calling it football.
If you were born and raised in Mississippi and want to argue that it is called football, you might make me mad enough to stick my foot so far up your ass that the sweat on my knee will quench your thirst.
#1 I sat on my ass on the couch for an hour before I got up and went and got some dental floss to get rid of that damn annoying piece of popcorn kernel two nights ago.
#2 90% your being generous
#3 Anything named "Squidbillies" I avoid
#4 AMEN!
#5 I'll start off with he fact that flying a commercial airliner now is as easy (shhhh yes there are exceptions) as setting the autopilot.
That being said, I still want a breathing human WATCHING and paying ATTENTION to what the heck is keeping this freak of nature machine in the air!
#6 The fact that you didn't have a number six is worth a hump just because.
-O-Boy
I tweet. I still don't get it 332 tweets later, but I tweet. Just seems the "in" thing to do. And I'm a facebook JUNKIE! (I spend entirely too much time playing fish world and Island paradise) I'm friends with your lovely wife on there. So now I'm following you on Twitter (or Twatter as my son calls it)...I think my name is @crilleacree....yeah, that's it.
Hump that popcorn, indeed!
So I shouldn't offer you a fag?
I wouldn't know what to do with a fag. I could light it on fire. I'd pretty much have to stop there because I'm not a big fan of fags. As a matter of fact, fags aren't allowed in my house and not just because they stink the place up. LOL
Good one!
Brits call "chips" crisps (which I noticed they are using on Pringles now. Potato crisps indeed. Memo to Proctor & Gamble: they're CHIPS!
I tweet, but only to use it to update my FB status from my phone.
As far as football goes, American Football is descended from Rugby, which is descended from various games going all the way back to Ancient Greece. Bite that, soccer hooligans! Here's a quote from the Wikipedia article on Football:
"While it is widely believed that the word "football" (or "foot ball") originated in reference to the action of the foot kicking a ball, there is a rival explanation, which has it that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot.[1] These games were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports often played by aristocrats. While there is no conclusive evidence for this explanation, the word football has always implied a variety of games played on foot, not just those that involved kicking a ball. In some cases, the word football has even been applied to games which have specifically outlawed kicking the ball."
And it seems from the tone of your post, that "humping" is a bad thing. I've always thought it was a good thing (as long as it's my wife, and not the
.....as long as it's my wife, and not the dog involved.
Don't know why I didn't finish that.
Flying commercial is pretty easy to a point. They say the most danagerous time to fly is the 3 minutes in take off and the 8 minutes in landing.
What amazes me is the cockpit didn't notice the alarms that go off. The screens flash and an alarm goes off.
I think that cameras should be in the cockpit, there is no privacy matter that should protect them from plain view.
You are now officially my hero. I agree with everything you said.
Let the humps be humped and be gone. Idiots.
LOL!
P. S. I know exactly what you mean about pain meds... my husband, recently permanently disabled, has lived with pain for over 15 years because of his medical problems. Because of moves, we've had to change doctors a couple or so times, and it took MY act of congress to get the freakin' doctors to understand that they can't change his medicine to something that doesn't even work. Yeah, the few ruin it for the ones who really need the help. -- Hope you're feeling better by now yourself.
