Week 40 - Peep of the Week

When Wojcik showed up in North Conway with a bottle of Lagavulin, the automatic POTW selection was on. Then Brown brought a bottle of Talisker, which, as you know, runs a close second to the King of Scotch. A truly inspirational, if not automatic, gesture.

Announcing....
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 40th week of 2008

Bob Wojcik (automatic)
Bob Brown (semi-automatic)
Doug Maxfield
Tom McMahon
Pat Piscatelli
Susan Gallegher

BTW, it wouldn't hurt for the rest of you pathetic peep pretenders to come up with a bottle of Lagavulin once in awhile. If Wojcik can do it, so can you. Do you expect me to buy my own???? In these economic times???? You self centered Bastards!!!

Didn't Make This Up

The measure of a person's true character is truly determined by what that person would do if no one ever found out.

If that's true then I am in biiiiiiiig trouble.

I agrees. I often gets all tinglish, pondificating such notions. Them things I could perpetrates, coo coo!

Election Formula

Like many of you, I'm watching the Presidential candidates debate tonight, smirking at each other, and looking to discredit each other. Lots of pandering... lots of false emotions.... lots of gotchas.
~
I suppose that you have to be an egotistical asshole to run for the office in the first place.... so it's not surprising that these debates can be so tedious.
~
The great Harvard political scientist, V.O. Key, Jr., pointed out thirty some odd years ago that these elections are settled almost solely on the economic state of the nation. This bodes poorly for the Republicans, so I am resolved to see Obama win the "prize".
~
I am fearful of going soft on the war on terrorism, and a tax policy that stifles investment and entrepreneurship.
~
But we survived Carter, even though Iran treated us like their Bitches.
~
We survived Clinton, even though he got impeached and lost his law license for lying under oath.
~
We'll survive Obama too. And for God's sake..... there is no truth to the rumor that he is the Anti-Christ. I don't buy that bullshit for a second. He is just a politician, and we'll see how fate treats the country under his watch.
~
If he is elected and asks me to serve in his Cabinet, I'll have to refuse. Nanepashemet Telecom is just too freaking hot to leave. I'll just have to evolve into one of these high income fat cats that will get their taxes raised.
~
BTW, Katie Couric is instant nausea. Her interviews with "real voters" after the debate were so transparently slanted to Obama.... saying "Oh Good" when somebody said they had committed to Obama and coming out with her bullshit instant poll with Obama crushing McCain as the "winner" of the debate. That certainly wasn't the consensus in the studio. I can't believe what a tool she is. Now she cut off "Joe the Plumber" because he wasn't expressing doubt about McCain.
~
Sorry Katie. You are an Idiot. Bona Fide Capital "I".

Digital TV

Lapse

Can't believe it's Wed. already. I know I had a little lapse, but Nanepashemet Telecom is sizzling hot and I've been burning the oil all over New England in the last two days.
~
Thanks to Doug Maxfield and the borderline comments of Tuna Lips for keeping the Blog above water.
~
I will think of something intriguing to say later but now, the grindstone is waiting.

Dory Fit Out Ideas

This is an interesting interior concept for the Gunning Dory.
~
I'm thinking of ways that the interior could be modfied to accomodate lobstering on a recreational basis.
~
It would need a motor well and some sort of pulley rig like the Red Riser Davit System to lift the traps.

Doug Maxfield said...

Our political views aside...if you put a red riser davit system on that pretty boat I'm gonna have to cut you loose. Mountain of a man should be able to lift a sissy little rec. trap over the side. Or better yet, go buy your lobsters and help a guy out.

Tough talk from Democrat Doug. A few problems with your comment.

1. I didn't buy no sissy rec traps. Mine are 100% big boy commercial.
2. Have to use the leverage. Brains over Brawn. Get on the Technology wave. Wheels are good.
3. You can't cut me loose. You are hopelessly addicted to Nanepashemet and can never escape.

Pisc said...

How bad did the Patriots defense look last night.

And Francona running Josh "Waiting for Godot" Beckett out there for another round of pummeling lost that game as well.

Talent versus management debate open for comments.

Doug Maxfield said...

Stupid sexy blog.

Tuna Lips said...

you got some odd trolls diggin in the dirt around this here socializin' board. This Pisc character strikes me a shiftless guinea that needs to get the spaghetti out betwixt his teeth and then do us all a favor and shut his wop gob. And this Maxipad feller, well, he should let his wife do his palaverin fer him.

I think yer little dinghy is doing just fine, and claps my hands fer you taking the initiation to liberate them lobsters.

Move the Manatee

So they rescued the Manatee from Cape Cod waters and shipped him/her back to Florida.
~
Sounds like a typical liberal ploy.... "we know what is better for you" type of thing. The Manatee goes through all of the time and trouble to freaking swim to the Cape, and these do-gooders decide that they know best.
~
Maybe the Manatee checked in with all of the warnings on global warming and was seeking out a better deal. Finally, someone takes Al Gore seriously... then gets hi-jacked because of it.
~
Speaking of slow, heavy, and confused mammals, I had a very enjoyable round of golf at the Wentworth Country Club in Jackson, NH with los Dos Robertos, Brown and Wojcik. As could be expected, the competition was intense and came down to the 18th hole when Brown and I went Mano a Mano. it doesn't matter who won.... that's not important.
~
The important thing is that Wojcik came equipped with the King of Scotch, Lagavulin, and Brown chipped in with a bottle of the Prince, Talisker. Those boys are dripping with class.

Tuna Lips said...

I am perflexed by these fellers youse spending a "weekend away" with, the two Bobs, what is it that thems do? I am sensin' some unnatural acts, I dirnt want to cast you aside like a whore with crabs, but what is it you feller does up there in the woods asides chase balls and drink? I am shaken inside, as I afear fer the mortalized souls of someone who showed such promise.

Golf Outlook

Word is that Wojcik and Brown will be tearing it up at the North Conway Country Club tomorrow around noon time. I'll be there to document all the action.

PEEP of the WEEK Selections - Week 39

I'm thinking about heading up to North Conway this weekend to get some golf in. Enough time has passed so that I probably forgot how bad I suck in golf, and envision that a couple of rounds will be a lot of fun.
~
That's the Ticket!
~
Plus a few special Peeps who could definitely profit from seeing me with my game face on have been hinting that they will make the trip. At the very least, I have some Lagavulin stash up there that they can drown their sorrows in.
~
Speaking of sorrows...... it's that thrilling/tragic, stupid/sincere, and hopeful/hapless time of the week again.

ANNOUNCING

Jean Shaheen
My Friend Who Doesn't Want His Name Mentioned in the Blog
Ryan Nestor
Dave Dixon
Jill Tufts
Maggie Shanahan

I wonder if I'll crack the 120 stroke barrier. It has to happen someday!

BS

People who misjudge their importance, and don't take responsibilities for their actions or non-actions drive me freaking crazy. Every bill gets paid, and somebody has to pay for some of theirs. That is unconscionable, unacceptable, and truly sucks.
~
They sit around telling themselves of their importance and are shocked when you let them know that they are full of bullshit.

Tuna Lips said...

Au contraire, mi amigo. And I could not agree more strenuous like. I have first hand knowins about what importance is, and I pity the fools that think they is important, like yer mammy thinks you important. It aint true, losers. Sheee-it fire, I have undressed queens and shot whiskey with deputized authorities, and aint had to vist the doctor nor pay a red cent after. Comes with bein' a star like historical figment. Self deludin' jack-a-ninnies, all of 'em, but play along, the piper gonna come to town, and you can slash they tires in the meanwhile.

Keep Swinging

Peeps -
~
Sorry for the lapse. Hope none of you decided to end it because I didn't Blog yesterday. That would have been a crying shame.
~
Sensing a little bit of despair out there with the volatility of the market and all.
~
I know that thousands of you are waiting with extreme angst for me to recommend a way to cope with this economic hic up.
~
Here it is....
~
Stop your Freaking Belly Aching! Whining and worry won't solve a thing!
~
Step up to the Plate... and take your swings. In business, you can't strike out unless you put the bat down. So keep swinging. Sooner or later, you will make contact. So What if it is a slap single. You can't put them in the seats every time. Keep looking for the pitches, and keep swinging.
~
And BTW, keep paying your cell phone bills, so I can continue to prosper and thrive.

Secondary Sox

I stayed up too late last night to watch the Red Sox lose to the Angels. It might have impacted my Monday work performance.... I just didn't feel like the master of the universe that normally characterizes my superior business acumen. So tonight, it will be back to a normal rest... no adrenaline flowing at 1:00 AM in the morning.
~
Nanepashemet Telecom is poised to have a monster 4th Qtr. which will set us up nicely for next year. I can't let the Red Sox screw this up.
