Found a whole trove of “Jesus can’t go Hashing” songs here.
Congrats on 50 runs! That’s a lotta diarrhea!

By the way, thanks for the BLT pic. Now please avert your eyes while I sob.

I hope the dogs are okay, and that the neighbor will know never to let her dog loose again. Maybe bring a spiked baseball bat (or a medieval morning star) to future walks. Or at least a can of pepper spray and/or a taser.

Now I’m hungry for a BLT, dammit. Thanks for putting that in my head.
Peace and blessings to your departed mom. She sounds like a great lady.

A year well spent, I think. And as you wrote earlier, you’re now part of a community of people who refuse to take life lying down. Congrats on surviving and thriving a whole year in the PI! Here’s to many more equally constructive and instructive years.

So you’re pretty close to the one-year mark for your time in the Philippines. Congratulations on that.
As for your post’s title… I was sure you were going to be quoting Neil Diamond’s “Love on the Rocks.”
Yesterday’s gone…

I still think the age-gap thing is a bit pervy, but far be it from me to stomp on anyone’s lifestyle, so… more power to the geezers! If Clint Eastwood can do it with minimal grumbling from the peanut gallery, then anyone can! Nature designed the male human to be firing off his DNA well into his nineties, and who are we to debate nature?

Amazing how well that works, eh? I really think it has to do with not frying in oil. All you’re left with is egg and cheese and seasoning.
I neglected to mention in my own blog post that I had the idea for sous-vide eggs, and when I Googled the concept, I saw that people had already done it (of course; it’s hard to have an original idea these days).
Glad it worked out for you. The taste alone makes this worth it.

Congrats on surviving the treacherous, rainy path!
If you’re so inclined, feel free to let me know when you’re in Seoul. We’ll hit a Brazilian rodizio; those’re Atkins-friendly so long as you stick to the meat. My treat. I might be on my austerity program, but I’ll gladly make an exception that day.

I admire your fleet-footed nature. For me, rain is cause for fear whenever I hit a mountain trail: everything gets muddy and slippery. Or are you wearing especially sharp golf cleats on your shoes to prevent slippage?
The dawgs look immensely happy. I’m mentally contrasting that with those sad-sack images of Lucky before he became your dog.

Hard to believe anyone could be born after 9/11, but the world keeps on a-turnin’. Happy Birthday, G!

Looks to have been a great trip. I wonder what the local Aeta specialties are, food-wise.

My heart rate is 72 this morning. For me, that’s low!
Glad you’re on the mend. Enjoy your jaunt to Some Remote Island.

Leg and lungs both worrisome. Get well soon!

I wonder how well an air horn or bear spray might work against dogs. Hmmm.
Good job with the route! Mountain hiking is way more strenuous than walking on level ground.

Hilarious Biden toons/memes here. And there’s more there than just Biden-related stuff.
Thanks for the patronage, Rascal! Welcome aboard.

Lucky sure pretzels up the way a lot of cats do. You need to get a photo of him sleeping that way on some piano keys.
May you recover your good cheer soon.

Awesome job!
Hope your house is okay.

Great good luck to you as you attempt Easter Mountain. Go slow and easy; stay safe, take no unnecessary risks, and watch out for fatigue and/or darkness. Stay hydrated. You know all this, of course; at this point, you’re a far more experienced walker/hiker than I am.
As for Jack Ryan: I haven’t seen the series you’re talking about, but I’m sure I’d mentally compare John Krasinski to Kiefer Sutherland as the mean-as-hell Jack Bauer. All I know of the Jack Ryan character is what I’ve seen of him in a couple movies: there’s Alec Baldwin’s fish-out-of-water portrayal in “The Hunt for Red October,” and then there are a couple Harrison Ford performances. In all three cases, Ryan is heroic but always a bit out of his element—not mean at all, but just trying to survive. Sutherland’s Jack Bauer, by contrast, has seen enough blood, guts, and torture for several people, and by Season 6 of “24,” he’s almost entirely nuts, having been disavowed by his own government, and with almost all of his loved ones dead. Krasinski simply looks too pleasant for anything so gritty… but then again, I haven’t seen him in this series, so what do I know?
Anyway, happy Hashing. I look forward to the next report.

Ah. I see the song title is spelled “Everyday” on YouTube. Sheryl’s a naughty little girl.
» Posted By Kevin Kim On 21/April/2019 @ 8:02 pm
Thanks for the shout-out. Alas, I have to put the Grammar Nazi hat on and inform you that “Everyday” should be “Every day” (2 words).
everyday = adj. meaning “ordinary”
Shitting in my bed is an everyday occurrence.every day = (1) adverb of frequency, and (2) synonym for “each day”
1. I shit my bed every day.
2. Because I shit my bed so often, every day is torture.Aching all over, but I’m out and walking again today. Seems better than staying inside and acting like an invalid. Good luck as you deal with the PI’s weather!

One lifetime, many lives–Chapter Three: Meet the Parents
Almost 43,000 people in Prescott these days, it appears.

Always good to see happy pooches.

Pulled pork, brownies, and cupcakes all sound excellent. Good luck! I hope you have a chance to slap up some pics of the meal.

Okay, I reread your post and see you’re willing to do chili and muffins. That’s pretty damn good right there. If you do your chili the night before, there are online recipes for slow-cooker wings (here, for example, is a crock pot + oven recipe that doesn’t look hard at all), which you could do the morning of the Hash. You might need one of your employees to watch over the food while you’re out Hashing, keeping it warm until everyone arrives. The only thing missing would be dessert, but you could make your muffins into a “dessert option” by having some butter and jam on hand for those who prefer sweet instead of savory. As for veggies… you seem to like Brussels sprouts, so why not simply halve and grill a bunch of ’em, painting their exposed sides with a simple mix of olive oil, salt, and pepper? All of this is fairly straightforward, and if you’re planning on doing a chili (which is already fairly ambitious), why not go whole hog and cook up the rest yourself?
Or not. Pizza does sound kinda good.

Eh wot? You’re going to miss out on the huge sense of accomplishment that comes from feeding thirty mouths (said the guy who has never fed more than twenty-five mouths)? I know for a fact that you’ve got an impressive roster of dishes you can make, with or without a recipe, so why not just pick one or two of those dishes, multiply them by thirty, and have yourself a good ol’ cookin’ time?
Of course, all of this assumes you actually enjoy cooking. It also assumes you’re willing to sacrifice your beer money to buy enough food for thirty. Heh.
As for your upcoming Hare-ified trail: I’d agree that you’ve done all you can at this point.

The Nike ad itself looks awfully retro, like something you’d see in a 1970s-era Life Magazine. As for the reason the ad was pulled… I had to look that up because I honestly couldn’t see anything wrong with it. Your caption hinted at echoes of the Civil War; I found a WaPo article that covered the issue in some depth, so now I understand that “The Lost Cause” was apparently a big notion among Southerners during the 1860s.
Forcing the deletion of the ad is silly, though. This reminds me of the 4chan prank that equated the “OK” gesture with a white-power symbol, or the academic who got reprimanded by black colleagues for using the word “niggardly,” which has nothing to do with the epithet, or any number of false associations between something racist and something obviously innocuous.

The low spark of high heeled boys…
Good-lookin’ ribs and stew. And is that a neon cross in the first pic? Shades of Korean Christianity.

I can’t un-see that. Thanks.

«« Back To Stats PageCrate training is a good option. My brother David used a crate to keep my other brother’s dog (Maqz, the old and now-incontinent chihuahua) from pissing all over his floor. (David had to dog-sit Maqz while Sean was gallivanting throughout SE Asia last year.)
Dogs don’t soil their bedding; they’d rather hold their urine in than piss where they sleep.» Posted By Kevin Kim On 13/April/2019 @ 2:39 am
