This reminds me... I had a FB friend suggest that one should replace the word "love" with "lube" in song lyrics, and let the hilarity ensue. It was quite comical.
That's racist!
Lube, lube me do
You know I lube you
I'll always be true
So please, lube me do
Whoa, lube me do
Lube, lube me do

Whoa, oh, lube me do
All you need is lube
All you need is lube
All you need is lube, lube
Lube is all you need
She lubes you yeah yeah yeah
...with lube like that, you know you should be glad
I wanna know what lube is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what lube is
I know you can show me
I hate myself for lubing you.
I can't take credit for this one, but I found it funny:
Jesus lubes me, this I know.
You know, if everyone had to lube everyone they met I'd bet we'd have less violence
Or at least we would slip more punches.

So I think we've proven that this checks out.
Well, that's the power of lube
Phyllo deserves a wgom buck for this thread.
If he can grip it.
whoa. this is a whole lotta lube.
Lube alone is worth the fight
Lube broke through
I hate when that happens.
Fun!

"Well, Verlaine shot Rimbaud because he lubed him so
And honey, that’s the way that I lube you
Well, Verlaine shot Rimbaud because he lubed him so
And honey, that’s how I want to go
I want to lube you like a father lubes a son" -Lydia Lubeless

"A year ago
I gave it a year
I hoped it wouldn't happen
Now its here
It took so long
I can't carry on
I know the reason that you left me
You had nothing more to give me
No more lube" -God Lives Underwater
.
"As the years they pass us by
We stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe
Cause your lube is my lube
And my lube is your lubve
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us" -Whitney Houston

"True lube never runs smooth
But I don't care, cause
True lube is worth all the pain –
The heartaches and tears that we may share!" - Gene Pitney

"Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
Who needs an overcoat I'm burning with lube
My heart's on fire and the fire gets higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my lube to keep me warm" -Irving Berlin
Brother #2 informed me that our 5K proxies came in just under 30 minutes this morning, since we couldn't be up there to run them ourselves. Mrs Runner and I had decided that we should still run our own personal 5Ks anyway, so I did 59 laps at the Y in around 32 minutes (the lap counter got screwed up at around 2 miles) ; Mrs Runner set the treadmill at 3.2 so she'd finish in under an hour 🙂
Now for some ibuprofen - shouldn't have mowed my lawn as the warm-up...
Replaced a bathroom water closet light fixture. 3 idiot-proof wires, 2 screws. #thingsthewifedoesn'tneedtoknow #domestichero
This morning I took the boys to the playground--it's the one we go to most often, and it also happens to be next to the police station and community center. While we typically see a diverse range of families there (including Somali and Southeast Asian), today all the families appeared to be white. When I went to throw away some trash, I discovered that all the garbage cans had been removed--presumably this is related to the protest planned for tomorrow?
One our way home, the boys and I passed a group of about 10 law enforcement guys standing around behind the police station. They appeared to be talking about security plans for tomorrow.
By the way, if anyone local is interested in going to the protest, you're more than welcome to park in my driveway and walk over.
My sister, and possibly mother, are going.
I would be seriously considering it if I lived closer.
So, Black Lives Matter Minneapolis is saying on Facebook not to go to this event:
Fam, we do not support this action. As far as we know it was organized by white people from out of state. They don't have connections to our community and they haven't worked with local organizers. We don't know their intentions, their philosophy or if they are violent. Please do not go to this rally, there are many local organizers who do not support this rally because they have not worked with us to make this happen.
Meanwhile, the jalapeño is all into the idea of making a sign (he wants it to say "Stop the Killing") and going to the protest. Mr. NaCl is out of town helping his mom this weekend, so if I go, it means I'll be bringing both boys with me. Maybe we walk over but hang back and leave immediately if there's a weird vibe? I don't know . . .
It looks like now maybe there are local organizers who have been included, and that this is getting sorted out last minute?
Maybe not BLM, but at least some locally recognized folks?
Grain Belt Blu isn't bad, but I also don't see me having more than one. It's a little on the sweet side.
Grainbelt is already on the sweet side, and I'm assuming blu is some sort of blueberry concoction....
Aye, and not just a hint either. The entire pint was so blue you would have been forgiven for thinking it was blueberry juice.
Blueberry is the new grapefruit for beer flavor. Abita just released their blueberry beer, and it's what you'd expect from abita ---> so sweet it feels like your teeth are rotting from your skull.
purple haze is abita, right? also way too sweet.
Amazingly, their wrought iron ipa is actually pretty good.
I love the wrought iron ipa, and at 7.50 a sixer it's a bargain.
Purple Haze is flavored with raspberries. Much, much different deal. In the right context, it's tasty.
I'm not sure what the right context is, doc. That shit is crazy nasty.
Huh. I've had it a couple of times (IIRC), and did not find it nasty. The Bros back me up.
The public disagrees with them.

No, just no. Blueberry is an awful flavor for beer. I've never had one that was remotely good. Grapefruit, on the other hand, works very, very well in IPA. Grapefruit Sculpin is one of America's great beers.
One of my neighbors works for a distributor and had Sculpin on tap. Awesome!
