POTW Week 42

It's times like these when you see the real fabric of the person. Find out what they're really made of.... observe their character.
~
Many of you sucked it up and realized that I had to neglect the Blog while I tended to business.
~
You let your need for a pathetic Blog fix take a second seat, because you saw the intense pressure that I faced in pumping out deliverables from 5:30AM to 1:00AM the following morning.
~
To you I hold undying gratitude, loyalty and respect. The rest of you low-life, knuckle-dragging, nit-wit wannabees can burn in hell for the next million years or so.
~
The simple fact is that Nanepashemet Telecom came through bigtime, like the cutting edge, state of the art, professional organization that it is. Now it's time to boogie down.
~
ANNOUNCING....

Things should be getting back to normal now ... but will normal ever be the same???? !

Stepping It UP

We know you're busy... but, make sure that you get everything else done, despite all of the stuff that you are currently doing.
~
Lesser men would wilt.
~
Time for the Mountain of a Man to make an appearance.

Maybe you can git some of these panty wearin' neighbors of yours to step away from the white whine and cheez talk about how wonderfuls the world is gonna be with Obamy at the wheel, and give a little in kind, like the socialisticates they is. To each accordin' to his needin', well, comraddens, its time to help Slim here with his needin.'

Mega Peep Offspring

Mega Peeps, Stacey and Brian Butler, have done it again!!!!!
~
This time by successfully bringing Grady Thomas Butler into the world today at a healthy weight of 7lbs, 1 ounce.
~
Happy Birthday Grady!
~
We're expecting great things from you as the first born of such illustrious Mega Peeps. Even the gout that has flared up in my right big toe cannot dim the joy of this moment!

Threats and Innuendos

Even though the weekend is here, I have to maintain a vigorous attention to the matters at hand at Nanepashemet Telecom. By Friday, Oct. 31, a week from today, all the deliverables will have been made, and it will be time for a bit of a reprieve. But this weekend is all business.
~
I do admit that it was a hell of a week.... with a couple of incoming shells which we diffused harmlessly.
~
There have been a number of times when I have had a rising star in business. The one constant is that you are bound to make enemies. When you are succeeding, you shine a light on those who are not cutting it, and you are also taking the place of those who feel that they have a right to your position.
~
Both instances cause hostility.
~
In business, if everybody likes you, you're doing something wrong. You want the Assholes, Incompetents, and Phonies to be threatened and condemn you. If they didn't, you would be just like them.

POTW Week 41

Today, I got up with the express intention of doing just one particular thing. Total concentration. Not a waiver from the effort.
~
Naturally, that was the only thing that I didn't work on.... and I worked alot!
~
It was one of those days replete with wierd shit occurring - both good and irritating.
~
I came really close to buying a 9 HP Honda 4 Stroke from Ryan Marine to build the Gunning Dory around. That's how crazy the day got. Now it's going to get even worse!

FTP

Picked up another web site today.
~
Nanepashemet is getting so big that every customer needs their own piece of our cyberspace.

Home Sweet Home

After two days down in Mystic County, Connecticut, I get to commute to Sturbridge, MA this morning. What a break! Only a two hour drive rather than three! Plus, I won't have to drive past the Mohegan Sun Casino and be tempted to veer off course for a couple of hours.
~
The problem with getting up and out around 5:00 AM for me is that it really screws up my internal routine, and I feel uncomfortable for the rest of the day until the afternoon when I search for a public rest room to make things right. I hate doing my duty in public. Lining the seat is always a pain, and I still feel all general public germy and stuff.
~
There is no place like home.

Universe Fabric

Peeps....
~
Didn't I give you fair warning????
~
Didn't I explicitly say that I was out straight with Nanepashemet Telecom and that I wouldn't be coming up for air until Nov. 1????
~
So what's with all of your whining and complaining about not having a nice fresh Nanepashemet Blog Post that you can get into the fetal position and suck your thumb with?
~
It's all about you, isn't it? You don't care how overworked and stressed out I am, as long as you get your little Blogging fix on a daily basis. You, You, and not to be overlooked, You. Disgusting, self centered, bombastic blobs of paltry protoplasm.
~
If I didn't think that it would rip a hole in the fabric of the Universe, I'd shut down this pathetic blog right here, right now.
~
Whoa.... That even scares me!

The flock of Tufted Titmice along with a pair of Cardinals and a White Breasted Nuthatch were among the ubiquitous sparrows on the feeder this morning .
~
I'm totally stoked!

Tuna Lips said...

I notes fer the record that Brady boy up there lookin' to hitch up on that Brazilian tall drink of limeade, who dud he talks to? My friend, the incomparinable Joe Willie Namath.

Like I said, I walks with kings.

The Pit and the Pendulum

Many of you have expressed concern and despair because of my dire prediction that Barack Obama is due to be elected to the Presidency despite any logical rationale.
~
For God's sake, calm down.
~
Let the pendulum swing! Don't be such control freaks!!!
~
After all.... once we finish all of the brouhaha over being Democrats or Republicans.... in the end we are all Americans. Regardless of what we think is best for the country, there are checks and balances that guarantee that the pendulum can't swing too far in any direction.
~
So even if you're a misguided liberal trying to tell us how to live our lives... at least you are an American. And I can endure you until the pendulum swings back.
~
I mean.... how bad can it be???? The Red Sox tied the ALCS tonight.

Feeder Finding

Just because the work is piling up, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't stop and smell the roses. Trouble is, we don't have any roses... But I do have a bird feeder.
~
No, I'm not about to smell it, but it is attracting a nice flock of tufted titmice, a mourning dove, some sparrows, and a chickadee here and there.

In the afro negro parlance, I gives a shout out to my home toast Mister Joe Namath. I believes he and I share the same notions about being men of action. Ole TL does not hesistate to take up the challenge when the gold ring is there and there aint a soul leapin for it. Like Joe on the side line, asking that Jewess to give him a kiss, I myself am a carpet dim entrepreneurialisin' type.

Case in point. Shoo Fly's ole lady, gotta go three bills, and will eat the grass off the lawn if need be. Add a fifth of Old Crow, and she is plain ornery.

What to do?

Well, what i does is nock out the cable to the trailer park, set up a corral o' sorts, and announce a man of strength challenge. This being 4 pm, the region is loaded on my moonshine and lookin' fer something stupid to watch. No cable. what to do?

"Comes one, comes all, chillin' of all ages, see the great Yeti of the South, nothin as ill disposed to humankind trods this good earth. Residin in a nearby cave, just defrosted from her pre-history ice coffin, the Monstrosity challenges any fool to come ride her mole filled back and stay on board fer better than 7 seconds. Bring yer mammy and pappy, and fill the littl'uns up with snow cones and cotton candy. We challenge any fool to come on out and donate $13 and disclamin' all damages and losin' some teeth, ride this here beast. Is you man enough?"

And them bitches line up, and for $2 to get inside the rope
No ordinary bronc, this Gutter Beast. I am peddlin' shine and skunk weed at the only show in town. And Shoo is the head of security, fondlin' all the jail bait comin through the gate, and, aside from a meek wine from a momma or three, he is scotch free and gettin' some good leads fer later.

Everyone is havin a celebratory time, Shoo Fly is not gonna take a beatin' tonite as his lassy is beatin' the snot outta the best the south has to offer, and we are sellin' pappy's special hooch, no chloroform, and some mind eraser bud. Whatsmore, fer you peasants, I got Bitty (my sisters) youngest, workin' the anteriors, liftin wallets from heartless johns.

Tuna Enterprises, Limatitated!

I meander, but the point bein, Broadway Joe wudda enjoyed it. We played some ball back when, in case you did not know.

Landscaping

This is not the weekend. I can't even think of it that way. This workweek isn't ending until Oct. 31. Normally I wouldn't buy into this type of crazy talk, but it should be worth it on a number of levels.
~
I'll try to sneak in a couple of respites, like maybe a little bluefishing tomorrow morning, but other than that, it will be keeping the pedal to the metal. When I come up for air in November, there should be a whole new landscape out there.
