JR has entrusted me with the keys to the Ferrari.
I plan on take a lap or two from time to time. Yes I will go easy on the gear box. No I wont press any buttons unless I know for sure what they do.
Too much work to do right now though in clearing the decks for some holiday downtime. Until then… here… I brought you a fish. Should hold you over for a couple days. Watch out for bones.
Zulu Kilo 
Looks like a JHK double.
Nope! Its a northern pike.
Why did I know that was coming…
Something fishy about this…
“Watch out for bones.”
No pocket pike or trouser trout jokes, I promise. :-)
File that under sexual harassment, you can press charges with JR and then he can ban me.
Seriously, Saint Bif, is that you? If so, you are a cutie!
sb, you need to gain a 110 lbs and get your face tatooed.
no really, are you going for the hunter thompson look or something? where’s your uzi?
please don’t post no more pictures of yourself, it’s embarrassing, for all of us.
so you named your only child pike? that’s fucked up.
that’s apretty ugly kid. even for a baby picture of his ass.
you should talk to your wife. does she speak english?
i don’t think she does.
Speaking of fishing…
“Truly speaking, when we go to sea we are drunk, and we are like hungry wolves running after meat. We don’t even know what we are doing until we have boarded.”

MOU, what is wrong with you.
you don’t call men cuties, fuckwad. i think the only thing you could add to Saint Bif, (since posters are acting like they’re ordering from a menu) would be some facial hair and 10 years.
drool. i mean, id eat that pike.
don’t let UR insult you. that is more like ‘french circus ticket vendor’.
Great pic, SBif. Funny MOU, though when I think of fish, I hear the sounds female pudenda.
Fine.
The guy with the fish looks a little more like Brad Pitt than JHK, though.
right thal.
There is no love in this world… I believe
What’s not to love about gay punkers?
i need fish in my pants at all times it keeps me all aware and all
just sayin’
Well you can not suprise me when it comes to modern day politics. Anyone who did not see these kinds of things happening are fucking stupid.
As I have told Asoka. And I think someone else has said Fuck Asoka once or twice in the same post.
Buzzcocks for me were on of my first punk bands I ever listen too. Too cheezzy for the most part but I like enouph to have a couple of their albums. I always prefered the more in your face stuff DK DOA NOMEANSNO DRI Circle Jerks Black Flag… you get the picture.
Sadest part is the fact all those punkers listed above still tour. I go and see NOMEANSNO every other year here in Denver. They are rumored to be here again in March.
And yes they are gay
“not that there is anything wrong with that.”
~~~Seinfeld~~~
“No mercy and no respect.” Yeah it was risky to post this. That’s the way it is with pike though. Some people consider it a trash fish and won’t eat it. I think its fine, just a little boney.
Some interesting feedback. So I need to get a full-face tattoo, gain weight, grow a beard, and look older? Well alright, but this better work.
Dave, I think you are probably right that putting a fish in your pants is a sure-fire way to fire up the senses, however it seems you would become more narrowly focused in your awareness, rather than broadened. Probably warrants studies and testing.
“Anyone who did not see these kinds of things happening are fucking stupid.” I don’t know what to think yet, but the gun shops sure are doing some serious business right now. This year’s hot holiday gifts seem to be high-end hand guns, the AR-15 semi, and tricked-out AK knockoffs.
Dead on Arrival
NOMEANSNO
Both bands are from Canada eh! And have toured many times together.
Bar-B-Q-Killers
Saint Bif,
You are adorable.
Wuh? You like the bar-b-q-killers too?
“That’s the way it is with pike though.” –St. Bif
Bif-
Are you sure that’s a pike? We always thought of pike as little scrawny things and refreed to big boys like that as muskellunge. (There’s a big fish-shaped sign to this day on the highway outside my hometown with “Mighty the Muskie” welcoming sportsers to the St. Lawrence.)
You’re right on some folks (my family) being very prissy about eating pike and muskie–way too bony for my tastes. I was spoiled by freshwater perch and smallmouth bass, both of which I learned how to fillet at a tender age (used to drive the cats nuts with the fish guts out in the back yard).
SB: nice pic. Do you have others? I’m game to see the “harvesting firewood” shots and the biker shots. :)
i like where you’re going Nudge.
i second the request.
I think I had a dream about you Bif- we were camping. I REALLY miss my husband.
but i prefer bass to pike. they have a more in turned gripping type of teeth. pike teeth are way too sharp, kinda like pikes. i wonder if that’s how they got thier name?
in my pants that is.
Bif, you’ve handled this burst of ZK girleez titillatory (also a town in Italy, I believe) commentary with your usual deft touch. But dude… don’t let this become your personal Dunkirk. You obviously now need to roar back with tuxedo and speedo pic posts. I’ve never been more serious. (Not that this wasn’t an arms race, but I think it could be fairly concluded that you’ve just activated a battery of R-12 tactical nukes in what was previously a semi-anonymous tiddlywinks war of attrition. Note to Self: the game of Bunn will and must adapt to the new and ever-evolving theater, unfurling Nth Gen. counter-countermeasures, wherein N = whatever number it’s going to take to provide children throughout the world with clean drinking water, vaccinations, decent first-person shooter vidies, reliable high-speed internet access to at least Page 3 quality porn, a pair of brand new Nike Zoom Kobe IV shoes, and a solar-powered iPod streaming indigenous flavored content promoting core values consonant with fantasies of worldwide secular utopian workers’ paradises dependent upon free-flowing international commerce, enforceable rules of law, and other such things. Oh yeah… and no new taxes! Just fees. Please pull forward to the pick-up window, thank you, have an overrated interval of searing self-awareness or not, etc., etc.)
Hey bunn, this came from, or grew out of Tip’s comment a few weeks ago regarding, what was it… faceless blobs… and I thought, yeah, like why did I even bother to crop my head off the deer pic, and what’s the big deal really, who cares, I don’t. Having said that, I think enough is enough, and I will leave it to others for pushing the envelope on judgement and discretion to new highs/lows. YMMV.
If I must now go down to the beaches of Dunkirk, so be it. My only regret is that I would’ve liked to have brought you all a sexier fish, like a salmon, or a steelhead trout. At the very least, a fish more worthy of Dave’s pants, whatever that might be. Lets face it, pike are pretty darned low on the list of people’s menu choices. Even Kim Kardashian might reject an offer to appear before the pike taco banner (well maybe not, bad example). But still, its well known that in northern Canada they only use pike for feeding the sled dogs.
bunnbunn- are you jealous? I did have a dream about you once too, though it was much less titillating, as you say. Really, you are quite cute but I prefer men to bunnies.
Bif, yeah you basically have the right idea. But hey… You’re the one behind the wheel. Empowered as you are, you can do whatever you want here at ZK, and that’s what makes it great! Depersonalize or personalize it as much as you want to. Anyone who doesn’t like it, too bad.
BTW, I’m cooking up ideas for some possible projects that you and I might be well suited to collaborate on. I’ll talk to you more about it later, probably after Christmas.
tipping, jealous? Me? Nah… just so long as I’m being dreamed about too, we’re cool.
10-4 bunn, sounds good.
TP, jeesh. I thought you just dreamed about pro football.
just tight ends- hahaha
Hunting & fishing are such great fun. You get to hang with friends and family, kill small animals, take them home and eat them (err, the animals). If you have enough dead plant material, you can smoke the dead animal’s bodies. Add some finely chopped garlic inside the body cavity of the dead fish, sprinkle with olive oil (extra virgin), wrap loosely in foil, smoke for about 45 minutes to one hour, depending upon fire quality and size of fish, flip once. Works well for trout.
I have a different treatment for pocket trout. Smokin’. And I let them live.
Hi All,
Under an incredible amount of stress here. Too many deadlines, stupid ass reports that I have no idea how to write, that are only being generated because another asshole needs to write a report so that they can look good for still other assholes in political positions, higher up, and other documents that need managing. No break. Have to figure out how to do Christmas and relatives (though not many) any way.
I have been pretty evil here. I laugh so hard for a second when I do it. Can you forgive me?
Tipper,
My wish list. I want the stress to go away.
MOU, your evil is the good variety. Thanks for the super wicked links!
MOU- your Christmas wish will be granted. Unfortunately, one stress is usually replaced by another. The good news is that job stress is better than being stressed ’cause you don’t have a job.
Jeez, I’m a downer, aren’t I? Ok, well, then, have a drink on me (that’ll solve all our problems, I’m sure).
Seriously, this too shall pass. I have lots of cliches to trot out but your a smart cookie and I know you’ll be ok. So what (else) do you really want?
Mother Doom to son: “It’s all Greek to me.”
DDS: Just be gald we don’t have to do a root canal for Christmas.
MD: Did you know that one cup of eggnog = the calories of a cheesebuger?
DDS: I wonder what a liquified cheeseburgur tastes like.
Eggnog receipe: one cup store-bought eggnog, heat in microwave first to sub-boiling temperature, usually less than one minute on high setting if you have a decent microwave oven. Add one shot dark rum, West Indies preferred–cheap or expensive kinds. Add one shot Tenessee whisky, Makers Mark is fine, don’t waste the sipping stuff. Stir vigorously. Optional: scrap nutmeg from nut using kitchen scraper. Don’t use too much and don’t use the oxidized pre-powdered shit. Enjoy with friends and relatives. Discuss drinking liquified cheeseburgers in future.
bunnbunn,
My pleasure. You are the rabbit host with the most. It was just the beginning of the offerings that should be made to so noble a cult leader such as yourself, tho I gotta say, Howard Effing Beale is a posting God too.
Lettuce, carrots, apple wedges perhaps?
And tail, all of it ya want.
Doom.
Congrats on you first sock puppet.
Tipper,
This is key for your pace.

I’m competitive by nature so getting faster is pretty easy for me, even if I’m only competing against my own time.
Hey MOU- granted, I’ve been drinking, but I’ve got to tell you Bif is getting better looking every time I see him. “Hey, there, Jodie boy…”
ok, so anyway, …
Where would you like to live? Would you like to stay in Tennessee? I love my home and my immediate neighbors are terrific (but very old). I’m always interested in exploring new areas to move to (you would choke if I told you what my taxes are) though it’s extremely difficult to imagine actually leaving.
My sis, who you remind me of constantly, lives in Montana. I will be visiting her there for the first time this summer and from everything I’ve heard it’s a beautiful, mellow, awesome place to live, but I can’t seem to get over how far away it is….
Thanks MOU. Just a minor correction to the above post that I thought you would catch: Marker’s Mark is Kentucky straight bourbon whisky, not Tennessee.
I hope this red ink is just going to be for the Christmas holiday season.
Ooh, ooh, how about some green ink posts. too?
sometimes I miss old wombo so much I just break out crying for no other reason.
wombat was never here so why are you bitching Doom?
TP, awe shucks, i guess that’s part of the point, we lost him/her/it so long ago. like a meteor strike across the sky, that one. i miss XER, too, and (i know this sounds a tad crazy) Fi Fi La Fem, but that was probably just OEO after quite a few drinks.
BTW, what’s up with Jim’s CFN site? It appears to be technically fucked up. (As opposed to intrinsically so, as it always has been.)
I apologize, suppose open thread may be a better slot. I actually would post on the cluster fucker nation IF IT WORKED!!!
Motor City’s woes extend beyond auto industry

Keep reading, it twists and changes.
Detroit is the cutting edge of the crisis. Not CA. Depression here, depression now, and living breathing answers to power down, phase 2, after the denial. Go Detroit.
You’re the shit mou
Pocket trout? See, that’s relavent to this thread.
Looks like CFN shut down comment posts on Monday, 15 Dec. Dale got the last comment posted. I tried to respond to him today (been on the road this week), but was locked out somehow. Damn buttons don’t work.
Here’s my reply to him, FYI:
“Dale, we’ve been over this before, so I don’t want to beleaguer it with you again. In short, the production numbers may be secret in many OPEC countries, but their major discoveries were not. From the peak of discoveries, which for the world was mid-1960s, add about 40 years to the peak in production, or mid-2000s, say 2005. We get the 40 year term from earlier fields, like the US lower-48, and from models such as the Shock model.
Regarding item 2, your reasoning is based upon the non-specialist thinking that if experts disagree on minor points of prediction, or miss exact predictions by a few years, all is lost and no one can be trusted. It’s classic “throw baby out with the bathwater” thinking. You’re a moron, but we all knew that already.
On item 3, I disagree with the statement, as small changes will only make comparably small differences, and you may have noticed by now that things are unraveling rather quickly and we have only been post peak since about 2005. I would conclude the opposite: that small changes (in oil supply) have made rather great differences in our economy and society. Duh–that’s because it’s based upon assured reliance of supply of cheap petroleum. And, it’s only cheaper right now because everyone’s having a fire sale, downsizing their economic positions.”
BTW, I do give a fuck, about you, tipping, just about everybody.
Huh? What the hell is a Jodie boy? And why do I suddenly feel cheap and used?
Doom you need to name that sockpuppet. Its OK, most guys do.
MOU, if people like us were president we’d be living in teepees and driving Ferraris. America just isn’t ready for that.
Tipper,
The job still gives me a paycheck and insurance. I see my cowardice daily. What if I am wrong? What if it is a bad recession and we recover for a while? If I leave, I gave up a good paying job and health insurance for my family.
To tell you the truth though, everything is so fake I am going insane with it. Maybe literally.
Had a friend in her 50s leave a corporate position because of “principles.” She fell into crisis, became bitter, and has never recovered from her decision to leave. Some of the problem is trying to stay in this world and the world she wanted to go into which, indeed, would have required sacrifice. You need a really clear plan before you go AWOL from mainstream society. I have the house paid, a few bucks put away in case I lose the job, but no more than that. I confess that I look at land in the area from time to time. Some of it has springs. But the price has to come down to be within my reach. I would pay cash.
I am not sure TN is a bad place to be. Depends on your bets regarding global warming. We will either get too hot or we will be perfect.
Oh yeah, disclaimer, I have been drinking.
St. Biff, he looks a little young, but if I were the right age and not married, and he was not married, I would definitely need to at least check it out. He gives good post. I don’t even worry about swelling his ego. Your hubby though is probably a lip smacking stud. On line is really safe. No love is wasted. That is my religion, Ms. Running Chick.
I had a great post for you a while back that got lost here. I cannot replicate it because I was in the moment if you know what I mean. But the gist of it was that::
1. My hubby had taken part in a bike ride for wounded warriors which had been awesome.
2. Your sacrifice (not having your hubby) weighs on me.
Peace out woman.
Thread of The Living Sock Puppets.
As the last few flames dance sleepily across the days final log here at Camp Remus, I’ll open a bottle of my best holiday cheer, splash a wee bit into my cup and raise it high to the denizens of ZK and say bravo.
Churchill once said “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few”. It’s rhyme time.
Petal to the mettle, let many blossom to the foe.
Cheers.
St. Biff,
For soldiers Jody is the guy that makes off with your girl while you are fighting the war for everyone’s benefit. They sing about Jody when they are running. They joke about Jody in the mess hall, making off with everyone’s girl.
My husband is ex-service, seven years.
You are not cheap and used. You are a projection screen.
MOU
Once again you are pretty much channeling my wifes feelings about this whole thing. She has a great job and it is about to get even better.
How do you escape from a trap you are pretty sure is there? And what if the trap is not that bad and only a bump in the road. The US Government could one day say fuck it Hemp for Victory! Trains lets do it now. And all be will fine.
These are the questions I grapple with everyday.
mou- hope you’re not too hungover. (I’m watching the Steelers Titans game right now) You give me too much credit. My grandfather was away for three years during wwII, that’s sacrifice; my husband is only away for 6 mos. It sucks but there are a lot of families that have it a lot worse.
And I’m not quite sure what I said last night but I definitely don’t think you should quit your job until you’re absolutely ready. I’m not of the belief that everything is going to fall apart so quickly that it’s worth giving up a good job and bennies now. Whatever happens, will happen. You’ll make the necessary adjustments to your life as needed, and Im sure you’ll do well. It’s good to have a goal to work towards of course but it’s better to approach such a huge change from a position of strength than of desperation, kwim?
“i miss XER, too…”
He has popped up a few times on CFN this fall with some one-liners. Not a lot to go on but his tone seemed pretty even.
