Poontang Purchase

All of you Peeps who have been asking me about this Secret Service Colombian prostitute fiasco.... what am I?... some sort of Hooker Etiquette Expert?????
~
Seems the Secret Service Agents who were sent to protect the President and the Secretary of State received services and disputed the bill.  In Colombia, prostitution is legal, so a charge was made of snatching the goods... so to speak.
~
Since the goods that were snatched happened to involve some snatch, there's been a lot of consternation on the part of Northern Hemisphere moral legislators who wish to get to the "bottom" of this issue.
~
All I know is that in Colombia, you must pay for poontang when purchased.... period.


How easy would it be to plant a bug while a bunch of flat-tops high-five each other between 'OH' faces? Probably just left a tape recorder under the bible in the drawer.



Happy "Nucks"


Apparently, this group of White, Middle Class, Amateur Hockey Players who prefer to call themselves "Nucks" are quite content with themselves.
~
Congratulations "Nucks" on whatever it is you are so happy about.

Open Minds

So I'm driving back from New Haven, licking my wounds from the neighborhood meeting where I try to explain to the nice folks why a 125' tower would be ok near their homes....
~
Normally I take much more abuse at these affairs than was dished out last night.
~
And it goes without saying that a Mountain of a Man has thick enough skin to endure the wrath of the oppressed multitudes.
~
But even I can get a little down in the dumps, a couple of hours into a three and a half hour drive home.
~
Luckily, the Sox game against Texas was on the Connecticut affiliate of WEEI and I was able to catch the last half.
~
Course... Boston lost 18 to 3.   I believe that this was my fault.  I never should have listened to the game in my mental condition and obviously caused the horrendous loss with my negative mojo.
~
Youkilis struck out four times.... but that was Bobby Valentine's doing for daring to say that he didn't look right the other day.  A BoSox Manager should never speak about what he actually sees to the open minded Red Sox Nation.

Almost Whine

You would think that dealing with big companies, who have many minions, each dedicated to a single task, would make thiings easier and more efficient.
~
Once again.... you Petulant, Posing and Painful Peeps would be woefully wrong.
~
It seems like even the simplest task involves layers of complexity with multiple checkpoints, and the task drags on for weeks... or months.
~
Meanwhile.... the poor schmucks who are doing the work...ie Nanepashemet Telecom and other hapless vendors.... get placed firmly in the darkness as resources grow thiner and thiner.
~
Does this seem like I'm whining????
~
If it does... that would be impossible, because a Mountain of a Man like me, doesn't even know how to whine.   Although, if I did.... I would.... whine about this.


  1. Their job is to find grounds for delaying payment, and then to pay less than agreed to. It's unethical and effective.
  2. As long as you whistle-while-you-whine, this p-p-p-peep, will keep-on-peepin’-on…

Unlikely Story

A Black Muslim Boy, grows up in Indonesia, goes to College at Columbia and Harvard, begins his political career in Chicago with crazy radicals, runs an antipoverty agency, becomes a state senator, becomes a US Senator and is elected President of the United States. You've gotta love this story... regardless of your political persuasion.

That is why many voted for him, the poetry of it.

"What... Me Worry?"

Everybody runs into Alfred E. Neuman once in a while.
~
If he's your Friend, you couldn't care less.
~
If he's your Boss, you love him.
~
If he's your Business Partner, you're screwed.
~
I don't even know if they still publish the satirical magazine, "MAD" that Alfred sprung from.  We used to read it cover to cover when we were kids, some skaty eighty years ago.


Still published, more pricey and pales in comparison to those great mags in the mid 60's.




Proof of a Proper POTY

We rented our North Conway condo to Brendt D'Orio and his trophy wife, Kerry this winter.  They paid the rent and left the place immaculate.
~
How good is that!!!  Not that I had any doubts whatsoever.   I didn't have to do any due diligence on the D'Orios since I knew Brendt since he was a Mite Hockey defenseman.   They are a class act, but it's nice when you continually see the evidence updated.
~
Kerry happens to be the POTY of this pathetic Blog this year, and this does nothing to mar her reign.

Yelping for Yale

Tomorrow, it's another sojourn to New Haven County.
~
If I could live anywhere in the world, New Haven, Connecticut would be right behind Astana, Kazakhstan... number 874 of the list.... although Astana has a real nice arts district.
~
So I don't really look forward to the trip.
~
But it's all about this collection of green papers with pictures of dead President's on them that I am trying to accumulate in obscene amounts so that I can retire in a style of which I hope to become accustomed.   Yep... there's money to be made down in gritty New Haven, and this Mountain of a Man won't let a little thing like gas prices stand in the way.
~

I'll be down and back with some billable milestones before you can say "Yale Bowl".

POTW Week 14 - 2012

The stars were out at 43 Church in Salem last night as Joanne's Birthday celebration came off without a hitch.  OK... maybe a few hitches.  But nothing requiring police intervention.
~
For me, the highlight was the bottle of Lagavulin that Bobby Brown so thoughtfully bought for Joanne.  Even though it technically wasn't for me, I'm giving him the Automatic Peep of the Week nod.
~
What the Hell.  It's my Blog and I make the freaking rules.

ANNOUNCING


Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 14th Week of 2012


Bobby Brown (Automatic Lagavulin Rule)
Katelyn Nestor
Ryan Nestor
Mike Nestor
Kathy Peabody
Tina Rhoades

I didn't make a speech afterall, which was just as well.


Did he explain why he was kicked out of Whitney's funeral?
____________________________________________________
Not the same Brown, Loko.
~
But that reminds me that Kathy Peabody, only the second person that I have ever known to be kicked out of a hockey rink, almost got the boot from the party by the restaurant management.  Something about being shushed at the bar after the BC Frozen Four Hockey Tournament Victory.  Now the word is out  that the Restaurant will be banning future 60th Birthday Parties because of the riff raff they attract.
~
That's Bullshit, but I don't care.   I don't go to many of them and that was the only one we have to do for Joanne.  Although Katelyn did a great job with her friend Tina on this one.

Although Bob Brown and being kicked out of a place does ring true.
__________________________________________________
Well stated Pisc.
That also reminds me of a former day when our other Mountain of a Man, Bobby Brown and yours truly were politely asked to leave a wine tasting from one of the finer Napa Valley Wineries.   If I remember correctly, it was the Francis Ford Coppola Winery.  Seems we overtasted so to speak.
~
The proprietors were well within their rights.   We were freaking drunk, but I didn't  think that it showed.
~
Good Times.

Planning a Speech

I'm thinking of making a speech at Joanne's birthday shindig that the kids are planning.
~
I'll keep it low key.  Don't want to bring people to their knees with emotional sobbing, nor do I want to elicit cheers and warwhoops.  Words can be powerful.
~
Sometimes, being a Mountain of a Man means that you have to find the middle ground.

Wicked Better

For some reason, everything went right today.
~
Woke up and  my grandkids were snuggled in their beds for the Wed. sleepover
~
Won major new puchase orders from two of Nanepashemet Telecom's most important customers.
~
Worked the financial projections nine ways to Tuesday, and couldn't see a reason why this won't be the best money year ever.
~
Heard from my daughter and her amazing Italian vacation.
~
And now I'm posting on this pathetic Blog.
~
An almost perfect day.
~
Things are starting to get wicked better.
