This killed me. But I think Jim can do better than just all of his marrow

I'm not sure there is a more than extracting my bone marrow.

Once you don't have marrow it would be kind of wasteful to not harvest all of your organs

I would be fired after the first time getting emails like this.

I wanted to respond using just gifs and then I remembered it's the real world and not a message board.

I use “boner alert” all the time now. Emails, conversations, texts, etc

I wanted to respond using just gifs and then I remembered it's the real world and not a message board.

I also suffer from this affliction, and periodically "mentally" respond with an inappropriate gif during conversations. The beauty - for me - is twofold:

1) In retirement there's very little separation between the virtual and actual world. I've got no reputation to defend anymore, and stopped caring decades ago what most people thought of me.
2) My buddies are my friends because they're as whacked as I am. All of us have an "abbie normal" sense of humor. It's taken decades for our wives to understand our collective approach to the ruthless application of inappropriate humor in all settings, but they've come to terms with it (acceptance being a far different animal than approval, in this case).

can i complain a little here?

so in addition to my Father in law being hospitalized a few weeks ago, heres what else has happened in the past 10 days.

Sister in laws mother had a massive heart attack (healthy early 50’s) she is recovering but was all but dead,

father in law had surgery to remove cancer spots today, 2nd major surgery coming soon for him to remove tumor in neck,

12 year old cousin diagnosed with bone cancer, detected early, but 6 months of aggressive chemo and surgery is ahead of her

5 month along wife started having heart issues the other night, so shes heen wearing a heart monitor since monday

tonight i all but busted my ankle carrying a baby calf, stepped in a hole.

i just worry whats next

damn man, that's a rough as hell stretch. Hang in there.

Picked up a small "dual fuel" generator today. I justified the spend under the auspices of having something that would run the refrigerator, some fans & lights in the event we had an extended power outage.

Announcer voice: your neighborhood has buried power and you've never had a power outage in the 6.5 years you've lived there

Fine. I bought it to do some adventure camping. Sitting around for the last year during this pandemic has me pining for some pine trees in the mountains. I've got my "Senior Lifetime National Park Pass" in the glove box, and I'm slowly accumulating assets in support of taking off for some time in the great outdoors. For some reason, Mrs. LHR doesn't want to let me drop $50K on a new Airstream Basecamp 20X travel trailer (coward), so I'm probably just going to put a Napier Backroadz truck tent & custom air mattress in the truck, add a second large tent (perhaps a screen type tent) for setting up the cook tables, sitting chairs, etc. I've got a cook stove, and other camping basics, but every time I visit an outdoors store or online retailer, I'm overwhelmed with the gadgetry that's popped up to serve this community.

For you campers ITT, what are your "must have" camping gear items?

Puts a whole new perspective on me complaining because NY Strips had gone to $12 a pound. The worst grocery prices I've had to deal with was in Hawaii during the '70s. The only place I've ever seen lettuce sold by the pound.

You'd figure that sugar would be cheaper than the mainland because they grow it in the islands. You'd be wrong. They ship the cane to California to be processed and the refined sugar is then returned to Hawaii at a significantly higher price than the mainland pays.

Likewise Japanese cars. Hawaii is almost half way to Japan so it saves on shipping, right? Wrong. The port of entry is L.A. or Oakland so they cruise by the islands and wave on the way to California and then ship them back to Hawaii.

Wolf head dress and loin cloth for those role playing situations when you're the Native Savage hunting the Pale face woman separated from her wagon train.

Good toilet paper.

Salmon is actually that way here too. Salmon is sold the canneries or to fish distributors. It goes to Seattle and is then flown back up.

I’ve never been so attracted to someone of the same gender as I am right now. I’m actually perspiring as I type. Wow.....😘

In all seriousness, let’s examine why I’ve been a “smart-ass” all my life.

1. I really don’t like you and I want to make sure you know how clever I am.

1a. I haven’t had much of a filter all my life and it’s gotten worse over the past 10-15 yrs. I simply sometimes go for the “shock effect” approach with a comment or question. The stunned silence for 2-4 seconds and the subsequent laughter and eye-rolls is worth it.

2. The guys (and most of the wives) that I consider my close friends have a similar approach to mocking others AND self-deprecating humor, both during the same evening.

This creates a situation where all of the guys (and most of the wives) understand that thick skin, in this circle, is mandatory and beneficial. The two or three wives with thin-skin (and indifference to Husker FB) sit in the kitchen (at game-watching parties) and discuss new comforters and what the grandkids are doing in school.

3. One question and one comment for you on #2....

* Do any/some/all of yore buddies drink??

* “Acceptance vs Approval” comment goes to the heart of the matter with Mrs. Bomber. She views herself as “tolerant” 😎 Regret than she was out of town when you passed through.

* Humble brag......we just got home today around 5:30pm, from a 22-day road trip to Phoenix. Saw long-time friends, played golf, ate, drank and had a great time.

Slowly raises hand in agreement. I think it's part generational where sarcasm and edgy humor was not only approved of but celebrated in the '60s and '70s. We had the original SNL, MAD magazine, Monty Python as role models and a fair amount of cynicism pre and post-Vietnam war which we chose to express through humor rather than stay chronically depressed about the state of things.

Your first point I can totally identify with and I like to think it's a healthy attitude. Very liberating.

Another great post much like @LoudHogRider. A great deal is being revealed tonight and a lot of things are making sense why our relationship with Dean was going to be problematic from the get go. Self important and pompous humorless bores are just too rich and inviting a target for some of us to ignore. It was destined to be a relationship fraught with turmoil and drama. In a marriage you'd call it irreconcilable differences.

* Do any/some/all of yore buddies drink??

I'm the only tee-totaler in the bunch. Others have reduced their intake over the years, but still imbibe. And there are a couple of hard core ones that still like their shots of Jager when we gather. I never liked that stuff WHEN I drank-for-effect - yuck.

You left out "National Lampoon" magazine, the apex predator in the humor warping wars. 😉

That dog looks so confused, like "Hey, I know I'm not supposed to be on top of the car, but holy shit - you can just walk right up here and piss on the hood. This is amazing!"
