Harley Goes to the Bugs

What's really going on in biker bars:





From Craigslist:

Harley rider pre-ride check off list:
1. Comb baseball player goatee and mustache
2. Spend 6- hours polishing gaudy chrome pieces. Be sure people can read the "Live to ride - ride to live" statement on gas tank lid.
3. Assure suspension can handle at least 560 pounds of rider
4. Pack cell phone and have tow service numbers programmed.
5. Look in mirror and perfect the "I'm a bad ass motherfucker" harley riding scowl.
6. Affix tassels from daughters bicycle to handle bars for added gay appearance.
7. Test flashers for when bike breaks down (99% probability)
8. Put on your wrist brace to help carpal tunnel from all of the unnecessary revving
9. Leather pants
10. Gloves
11. Wrap around sunglasses
12. Skull cap (German soldier type for the real badasses). Remember to think about the SAFETY aspect/argument of loud pipes as putting that potato chip on head. The real tough guys here will wear a bandana over their face (some with a skull) to look really scary----ooooh!
13. CAT work boots (new)
14. Leather vest with some "chapter" like: North chapter of pig fucking obese attention whore douche bags with fat ugly loud mouth wives.
15. HD t-shirt (of course). Because everyone needs to know what shop you paid $40 for a $5 hanes shirt at.
16. Remove baffles from pipes so EVERYONE can hear you going 18mph in 2nd gear at redline. Note: Most HD break down before hitting 2nd gear.
17. Starbucks gift card: This is usually your hangout--------------how tough.
18. Call friends with similar ridiculous motorcycle (WW2 outdated technology garbage) and pathetic store bought image (gay pirate from the Castro) attire. Have them ATTEMPT to meet you at the starbucks without breaking down or crashing due to being distracted from looking at themselves in their chrome.
19. Five packs of Marlboro reds to smoke while riding to look extra cool
20. Slam a 6 pack of Zima prior to ride.
21. Saddle bags attached to pick up and store broken parts that fall off bike as you ride/push (if you can call it riding without laughing) that hunk of shit down the road.



22. remove rear flap from leather pants.

In other news, It is rumored VW is thinking of buying the floundering Harley-Davidson. Not surprising and fitting that a company that made it's bones with an air cooled 70 years ago engine would be in a position to take over a company still using one.

The question is, will the Harley collective still claim HD is an american company when the producer of Hitlers "People's Car" owns it?

No Reason for Federal Intervention in College Football

Unless the yankee easterners think it will help break the SEC's dominance of the sport. Somewhere in their pea-brains they harbour the idea the BCS system inherently favors the SEC in some way and that's the reason their teams generally get the shit kicked out of them and not the fact that their "back east" teams play each other in rounds of patty-cake football all season.

If there had been a playoff system, maybe Cincinnati would have beaten Florida.....

Unrealistic Expectations

You two want a pack of cigarettes and good sex? These broads obviously don't realize which end of the gene pool they inhabit.





Hey, Bro, gotta follow through for the ladies.

On a more serious note re: the Tennessee Cigarette Sisters; An incident where a female is actually charged with a crime for falsely accusing someone of rape should be shouted about from the rooftops. Women are accustomed to not having to suffer negative consequences resulting from this type of "legal revenge" and if there is to be a paradigm shift in enforcement they at least should get a heads up.

Now THAT's a Grill Guard!

That "Prius Shredder" is gonna look great on my Suburban.

Some Make Choices, Others Have Choices Thrust Upon Them

This gets filed under "thrust upon".



It makes the moniker "The One" much more appropriate.

Mo. Ron.

Uses teleprompters at elementary school. Because he's a moron.

Pardon me, Ma'am. Sir. Whatever.

Pigs.

The Stasi in Pittsburg beat this guy damned near to death for something people all over the South, West, and (increasingly) the Midwest, commonly do every day. One of the benefits of life in the big city. No doubt, they were reassigned to applause from their mates for making the streets safer for them to kick the shit out of anyone they choose.

"Not until 15 minutes later, when uniformed officers drove up in a van and Miles overheard their conversation, did he realize he had been arrested, he said. Initially, when the handcuffs were clamped around his wrists, he thought he was being abducted, he said."

He was being abducted, only by a gang of thugs with the might of the state behind it. Appeals to the boss thugs on his behalf are a waste of time. When you live in an urban hive it is understood you give up certain rights and all your dignity much the same as you do when you choose to board a commercial airplane. He just didn't get the memo.

This is Why We Laugh at the Cornhole Game

What Happened in Massachusetts?

Indeed. How weird is it when a state that has been proud to be known to be a Mass (bad pun) of Kennnedy boot lickers revolts?

It hinges on 1) Obama showed himself to be a weak personality, a typical sneaky politician, and not very bright 2) Coakley said what she really thought too often 3) the white folks may have finally punched their "I am not a racist/sexist/homophobe tickets" enough to satisfy themselves.

Obama's performance on the job is highly reminiscent of Carter at his worst; flitting about the world apologizing on behalf of the US for everything from pretend global warming to the last administration tweaking their noses, ignoring huge unemployment, playing at "big picture" games while (not) working folk struggle. Strangely, even in Massachusetts those things matter.

Coakley managed to be the right candidate at the right time with stunning efficiency. She offended the observant catholic population of Mass. and showed herself to be abrasive, oblivious, and uninformed in a single stroke with her crack that perhaps Catholics should not work in emergency rooms. Chances are she was probably born in a Catholic hospital. I would like to think the folk in Mass. were starting to chaffe at Kennedy worship, but growing a spine is far too much to ask of the bootlickers. They are probably aquiver at having offended Obama.

It is a plain fact that even with a sorry assed candidate like McCain, the economy unraveling, and congress writing checks to banksters, had Obama been white he would have lost. As one roll in the hay is all playing the sympathy card will get you some folk, having finally voted for a black guy for high office president, are no longer carrying that particular monkey on their backs. The white folk are free to vote however they wish (unwisely most often - but not so much racially, except for black folk who vote racially always).

The race guilt card won't play again unless the left's commentariart manages to cook up some hitherto undiscovered subtle undercurrent of racism for which all white folks should feel guilty. And convince them of it. Not bloody likely outside of the DC stage, but good luck to 'em anyway.

Facebook Fun

Ken - thinks there's just too many Neanderthals in this country clinging to their guns, religion and "freedom" of inequity.

JACIII
Oh Stop! You'll make me blush.

{liberal sap}
Indeed, Ken. Indeed.

Jac III
Why, oh why, do those dumb hicks not know we only want to help them? To make life better for all? They are just too stupid to know we know what's best for them. And they're still trying to keep the black man down!

One Big Wrong Turn or The Damage One Sorry Son of a Bitch Railroad Lawyer Can Do

From Murray Rothbard's Just War.

Lincoln signed no less than ten tariff-raising bills during his administration. Heavy "sin" taxes were levied on alcohol and tobacco, the income tax was levied for the first time in American history, huge land grants and monetary subsidies were handed out to transcontinental railroads (accompanied by a vast amount of attendant corruption), and the government went off the gold standard and virtually nationalized the banking system to establish a machine for printing new money and to provide cheap credit for the business elite. And furthermore, the New Model Army and the war effort rested on a vast and unprecedented amount of federal coercion against Northerners as well as the South; a huge army was conscripted, dissenters and advocates of a negotiated peace with the South were jailed, and the precious Anglo-Saxon right of habeas corpus was abolished for the duration.

It is amazing how much fuckup can be traced to just a very short period of time the legacy of which is continued grief for generations removed from the evil deeds initiated by a very few evil men.

1) Prohibition - for which prisons overflow and privacy dies.

2) Income Tax - Whereby we are all slaves and ownership of our labor is claimed by bureaucrats and politicians.

3) Eminent Domain - The root of "corporate welfare" and condemnation (legal theft) of privately held property.

4) Gold Standard and Nationalized Banking System - See The Great Depression I and, now, II.

5) Credit Inflation - Bubbles anyone?


Further we are seeing more and more that the yankee (spit) deified state will tolerate no other god before it:

The Union was taken, by its Northern worshipers, from a contractual institution that can either be cleaved to or scrapped, and turned into a divinized entity, which must be worshipped, and which must be permanent, unquestioned, all-powerful. There is no heresy greater, nor political theory more pernicious, than sacralizing the secular. But this monstrous process is precisely what happened when Abraham Lincoln and his northern colleagues made a god out of the Union. If the British forces fought for bad King George, the Union armies pillaged and murdered on behalf of this pagan idol, this "Union," this Moloch that demanded terrible human sacrifice to sustain its power and its glory.

This worship of state is becoming obvious even to the obtuse as "Freedom of Religion" becomes corrupted toward "Freedom from religion other than worship of the state". What was yankee (spit) birthed is now irrational atheist borne.

Rothbard's reference to Milton's Moloch is especially apt:

First MOLOCH, horrid King besmear'd with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents tears,
Though for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud
Their childrens cries unheard, that past through fire
To his grim Idol.

Props to our token Jew Bankster, Josh, for the Rothbard link.

Even the Finns and Soviets Love the South

Bless their hearts.

Congress Will Birth The Healthcare Abomination

All the election of Scott Brown will do, as fun as it has been to watch, is give a cloak of legitimacy for the congressional politburo to crouch behind whilst spinning sticky strands to further ensnare the public in its totalitarian web. Congress now has a failed president to sheild it from the full force of the publics ire; watch the toads get busy.

Coakley will be seen as a sacrificial lamb (or goat, depending on your point of view) by the commentariat served up to quench burning "Tea Party" sentiment. All will breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn't them and will go back to work destroying piecemeal the remnants of the free nation whose demise the Bastard Lincoln began.

May Your Next Sights Be Trijicon

Because it torments these idiots so.

And wouldn't you know a damned pansy lawyer has his panties in a wad at the idea folks might err by worshiping God rather than his state?!

"It's wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws," said Michael "Mikey" Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group that seeks to preserve the separation of church and state in the military.

Proof positive you don't need to be able to think to string words together. There's not a thing wrong with that except most folk hear words well strung and assume that indicates reason.

"It violates the constitution"...... Which article exactly is that? Oh, yeah - "Congress shall buy no scope with biblical references marked upon them" that's the one.

Go See The Book of Eli

One of the best Christian films to come along in a long time, The Book of Eli mixes melancholy and sudden brutal violence in such a way as to have a viewer uncertain of whether the next sequence will be soliloquy or slaughter.

There is plenty of action, plenty of plot, but no boobs. (Hey, it's a Christian film.) And the official critics hate it for the same reasons everyone else loves it. The words "preachy" , "flawed", "doomily pompous", and my favorite quip "the constantly preachy tone tends to grate after a while, and nothing in the self-important, supposedly revelatory denouement makes up for having been fed so much irredeemably inexplicable hokum." Obviously, the socially autistic did not find it enjoyable; how dare someone make a movie without the obligatory disdain for western culture! They thought we were "past that".

That hollywood made this film amazes me, as it should you. I look for the sky to fall any day now.

Objective Reality and What Passes for the Liberal "Mind"

Senator Harry Reid is being put through the wringer for stating these verifiable facts:

(1) That Obama is a "light-skinned" black man and that (2) he has "no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one."

The rationalization of taking offense to these facts averages out to be "We have moved beyond these sort of racial comments". When men's minds have become so befuddled they are no longer able to see shades or hear sounds this will come to pass. The left claims this attribute.

As an illustration of the efficacy of the left's claim to befuddlement I present the following citation from Jeff Davis' Message to the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States of America in April of 1861 regarding African slaves in the South.

In moral and social condition they had been elevated from brutal savages into docile, intelligent, and civilized agricultural laborers, and supplied not only with bodily comforts but with careful religious instruction.

To which, a Befuddled Leftist responded:

Read it. Yeah, he didn't have a very good grasp of the US Constitution. And of course, there's the "brutal savages" and "superior race" comments. Nice.

The Befuddled Leftist's implication that the African slaves in the South were erroneously characterized as having been "brutal savages" is illustrative of the ignorance and bone-deep stupidity the left often holds forth as intellectual discourse. No dictionaries in left-land I take it:

savage
Function: noun
Date: 15th century

1 : a person belonging to a primitive society
2 : a brutal person
3 : a rude or unmannerly person

As for the Befuddled Leftist's disdain for Davis' use of the term "superior race"....

su·pe·ri·or
Date: 14th century

1 : situated higher up : upper
2 : of higher rank, quality, or importance

race
Function: noun
Date: 1580
1 : a breeding stock of animals
2 a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics
3 a : an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group b : breed c : a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits

In each of the above instances both men spoke obviously correctly in observance of objectively verifiable and obvious fact, yet the left hyperventilated en masse media over Harry Reid's truthful statement and the Befuddled Leftist dismissed Jeff Davis honest remarks entirely without thought or even the modicum of intellectual curiosity that would compel one to pick up Webster's.

Obviously, the exercise of reasoned discourse with the modern left is a solitary endeavor.

What Once Was Old is Now New Again.

Twenty years ago, shortly after MrsJac and I purchased our turn of the century farm house and started renovating it ("renovating" does not do the process justice), we were at a loss for how to restore function to one of the fireboxes in a very unique triple firebox hearth. As we did not rescue the house before the previous owner removed the three flue chimney and a large portion of the hearth, there was the issue of clearance to combustibles to deal with. Our options were 1) a complete masonry rebuild of the original system (no chance - every mason we showed it too commenced to head scratchin'), 2) a zero-clearance fireplace (seen in apartments everywhere), 3)a wood burning stove out in the middle of the foyer. While we were weighing the options, we discovered a company in Ashville, North Carolina was producing a zero-clearance wood stove called the Gemini. We located the nearest dealer and went to take a look at one. MrsJAC was smitten with the brass trim and large bay window. I dug the forced air combustion, catalytic combustor, and the ash pan. We immediately made a deal with the salesman, haggling to a good price ($1300 was a lot of money in 1990!), and made an appointment to pick the unit up the following morning.

Long story short, we arrived the next morning with cash in hand only to have the salesman renege on the deal. The manager came out to explain he could not sell the unit at the agreed upon price and made a counter offer several hundred dollars higher than the sum previously agreed upon. We left the store without the stove, disgusted and disappointed at having found our perfect option coupled to a store full of obnoxious asses.

We installed a zero clearance fireplace for a time, then an Englander free standing wood stove out in the middle of the foyer. The Englander heated like crazy, but it sure was ugly and cost us some needed floor space. We made do for 15 the next years.

Late this fall I stumbled upon the Gemini below on Craigslist. I know it looks rough, but MrsJAC and I never stopped thinking it was the best solution to our need, and what good is a barn full of tools if not for this?



The Gemini had to be disassembled and soda blasted. It had been in storage for 15 years and all the high-temp insulation had made fine rat nests.



Upon disassembley I was surprised at the robust construction; a total of three 16ga steel enclosures surround the stove unit, with layers of insulation between each. A phone call to Appalachian Stove Works yielded a huge box of high-temp insulation, gaskets, and adhesive on my doorstep, all precut and tagged for location of installation. The good folks at Appalachian were a bit skeptical when I told them I had disassembled the unit, "That's welded together. How did you get it apart?" The answer, "Plasma cutter." removed all barriers between me and the tech staff.

Both blower motors had to be taken apart and freed up. JamieD pitched in and revived the combustion air blower while his brother, Brent sent naughty text messages to girls. Shortly, reassembly and the painting commenced.

Next, was to get the 700lb beast in the front door. I broke one wheel off a furniture dolly rated for 1200lbs in the process. Incidentally, next time you see those round plastic disks at Walmart claiming to make moving furniture a breeze, buy some.

Here you can see I had to remove some more of the other two fireboxes (gas logs anyone?) to make room in the hearth for the Gemini unit. Those two fireplaces cut the corners of the parlor and adjacent pool room forming a triangular three fireplace hearth with the fireplace in the foyer. The previous owner had designs on taking the parlor and pool room fireplaces out to "square the rooms". Retard.

Needed: one bearskin rug.

You can do this stuff when you are the type of fella carries the Kamasutra in his back pocket.

Brent the contortionist, certified in overhead plasma cutting, said he would, "By God" fish those wires through the B-pillar. It didn't quite work out that way and he ended up cutting much of the interior panel out of the body to make a bigger hole for the passage of the wire trunk.
