this and that

i served blueberry cinnamon coffee to a few friends yesterday and they loved it. i didn't tell them it was blueberry cinnamon, no need to make them feel gay.

my harmon kardon receiver started to make the humming noise again. after monkeying around with it for a while i discovered that it's the left surround channel that's making the noise. i've been threatening it for months but this time i followed through! there is no hum in the front channels so i moved it to my bedroom and moved the old harmon kardon to the bat cave. there is a huge difference in power between the 2 receivers but at least there's no fecking humming and the the brute sounds excellent in my bedroom with 2 speakers.

i spent yesterday checking out used receivers on craigslist and found a 2 year old yamaha that would be a good fill in until i make make up my mind just what direction i want to go with new toys. it's a chinese guy selling it and i we are having a big problem hooking up. he wants to meet me in front of a best buy store to make the deal and i want to hear it working before buying it. he can't grasp the concept that i won't take him at his word that everything works. so it goes.

are you sick of the debt ceiling talks?



i love you sons of bitches.

Maybe you should invite the Chinese guy to your home and test the receiver while he's drinking your gay coffee. It should put him in the mood to drive a soft bargain.

ruby doesn't like chinamen.

Perhaps you should take Ruby with you and let her convince the Chinaman to let you hear it first.

Never buy a fucking boat from a chink without giving the motor a good test.

Hey, maybe the harmon kardon just needs some electro clean sprayed in the right places, tuners and controls get surface shit on them, a sort of glaze that degrades how they work. Brake clean from a parts house works also, it's pretty much the same shit. Just spray it in there while you move the dial back and forth.

no need to make them feel gay.

I so will not try it.

are you sick of the debt ceiling talks?

Bet they raise it so we can keep steaming along, we think that we are too big to fail, maybe so, we keep bailing out those greedy fuckers at GM and such.

This is Ford country, on a quite night you can hear a Chevy rust.

Hey, want my cute little Honda 150 scooter? All you have to do is come and get it and jump through the hoops to get it into your country.

It's got a clear title so maybe that won't be to hard, I haven't rode it for three years, not much point in it sitting around here with the tires going rotten.

thimscool said...

If you didn’t want them to feel gay then why would you serve them blueberry cinnamon coffee?

thimscool said...

And what have you got against gay people, anyway?

BBC said...

Thimscool appears to think that all gays are wonderful people and not at all fucked up. I wonder if he understands the difference between a gay and a queer.

billy pilgrim said...

silly - the chinaman called and is no longer selling the receiver. so it goes.

billy - it sounds like an excellent toy but i'm can't fix stuff for sour apples.

thims - man if you were a fish you wouldn't last 10 minutes before getting hooked.

i have nothing against gay people. shit, i let my kids go to public schools!

billy - he probably doesn't even know that canadian gays have 6 toes on their left foot.

BBC said...

shit, i let my kids go to public schools!

You lucked out, they were never around my brother and other fucking sick assholes like him.

Well, maybe they were, but not the same ones.

Fucking pedophiles, or just fucking plain queers that want to fuck those of their own gender.

thimscool said...

You got me. Obviously you are a master baiter.

BBC said...

You got me. Obviously you are a master baiter.

No he isn't, you just don't recognize the truth.

Well, he may masturbate but that is beside the point, I'll bet that you've done your share of that also.

texlahoma said...

Good thinking, they might crack under pressure and spill the (coffee) beans about the blueberry cinnamon, this way they can't.

Good thing the Chinese guy's not a used car salesman.

billy pilgrim said...

thimscool - master baiter, good thing i read billy's comment before responding. i almost fell for it. thanks billy.

billy - like i said, thanks.

tex - i really did want that receiver! feckin kid was toying with me.

thimscool said...

So, BBC, now that you sprung my trap... what is the difference between a gay and a queer?

Nance said...

You know, I hate to admit this, but I never knew where that particular buzz phrase, "I'm ma....etc," came from.

You have done me a very great personal service. Doesn't that feel great!

Now, after everybody gets done yelling, what next?

billy pilgrim said...

thimscool - queers hate wd-40.

nance - all in a days work ma'am.

Robert the Skeptic said...

I am so f*#king sick of the debt ceiling issue.. a COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY MANUFACTURED ISSUE that the rubes in Washington have passed off to the rubes of voters. Eventually Wall Street will give them religion and rein them in.

I remember all the planes falling from the skies following Y2K.

yellowdoggranny said...

I think I would like that coffee, and I don't like coffee..
I don't trust the chinese..period

thimscool said...

These days, who can you trust?

billy pilgrim said...

robert - all the world's a stage!

yellowdog - i'm pretty sure you'd like blueberry cinnamon. shit, somewhere there's probably dr pepper coffee.

thimscool - i trust billy cook, the last honest man.

Jayne said...

Oh, Billy, that first sentence; you are too fehkin' funny. (That coffee sounds spit-out disgusting.)

I think it's a good idea to meet the Chinaman in a public place. Maybe you can plug in the receiver inside of Best Buy. Oh, they wouldn't mind, now, would they? ;)

Damn, I love that movie!

yamaha is supposed to be excellent.
