fifty feckin six

this past weekend marked the passing of another year for you know who.

can anyone guess what the lovely mrs myshkin had to say???

how about who gives a shit!

if she was speaking to me that might have been her reaction.

in any case i've made through 56 years. if you divide 56 by 2 you'll end up with 28 and that's a birthday i'll never forget. leading up to my 28th birthday my friends were daring me to drink 28 cans of beer to mark the occasion. since i wasn't a girly boy scrapbooker i accepted the challenge. it was a real hot day so i had a good thirst. truth be told i'm not sure if i made to 28 or not but i'll never forget how i felt the next day. my whole body ached and i felt like death warmed over, i may have had alcohol poisoning. that was the last time i tried to drink my age.

i had a little herbal refreshment and watched a few episodes of battlestar galactica. battlestar has the coolest soundtrack and i didn't spare the decibels.



56, if that isn't nice, what is?

i love you sons of bitches.

Happy birthday, hoss. Eat 56 eggs!

billy pilgrim said...

excellent idea!

but i'm no cool hand luke.

Bob Harrison said...

Happy fecking birthday, bro. If it's any consolation I tell my students that when I first started teaching there were only four elements on the periodic table: earth, wind, fire, and beer.

TheWayfarer said...

Thanks for the downer, my birthday's right around the corner...Bear we all gotta cross. Dammit!
I guess it's better than not having any more of them, though.

Gorilla Bananas said...

Happy Birthday. In 10 days time you'll have lived to an older age than Hitler. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll make it.

Nance said...

Happy Birthday, Billy, and may you have many more.

That was a real purty video clip and your 'mater plant is gratifying. Ours that we planted in May have given us their all, absorbed a crapload of chemicals we never meant to need, and has given up the ghost at last in a summer of awful heat.

So it goes.

billy pilgrim said...

bob - can we add dog hair to your periodic table?

ted - it's only one day and it will pass but the feckin things come around every year until we croak!

gb - outlived hitler! so i got that going for me too.

nance - mine had the opposite problem, no sun and heat for the first 6 weeks of its time with me. funny though, the crappy weather didn't affect my neighbour's plants.

silly rabbit said...

I guess that was one of the wisdom lessons you learned in your 28th year. Glad you lived thru it.

I turned 56 in November, last. Its been one of the best years of my life... which is what I wish for you.
Happy fecking birthday!

I'm also betting that unlike the song, you've still got a few aces up your sleeve.

Oh yeah... I noticed Charlie Brown's tomatoes coming in. I've been waiting for those suckers. Big grins!

yellowdoggranny said...

I think you should retire and move to west..ruby will love it here..and we could celebrate your birthday by eating skunk eggs.happy birthday..I love you, you old fart.

texlahoma said...

Happy birthday man, how about 56 bong hits?
Your tomato plant is much smaller than mine are, but at least yours has tomatoes on it. Too hot here.

billy pilgrim said...

silly - i think 1975 was my best year so far.

yellowdog - i love you too. west sounds very tempting but that 100 degree weather and the tea party crackpots scare me.

tex - 56 bong hits! i stopped at my favorite store on the way home from the cracker factory but i couldn't afford enough for 56 hits.

BBC said...

(did you notice charlie brown's tomato plant up top?)

The first time it popped up, you sob.

I just returned from Rick's shop, he's 55 today, I had a great time but came home when I started seeing two cars there, well after two more beers but I only live a block away, one eye is all it takes to get home.

I love you, ya son of a bitch.

BBC said...

Oh, happy fucking birthday.

thimscool said...

Normally I would put this BBC's place, but currently I cannot.

BBC said...

Those Nascar boys don't really believe in god and saving the planet, they just believe in racing.

I can enjoy a good race myself but I have to tune out how hard it is on mother earth.

Leslie said...

Dear Piece of Shit Excuse for a Human Being

Why don't you take next week's beer allowance and head to Walmart and buy a plastic kiddie pool and some fucking soap. You can use it to wash your clothes and your putrid carcass and do the world a favor.

Everywhere I look you're talking about me. Glad I could give you some focus for your hatred of women. Sorry you haven't gotten laid in 20 years, but it's a source of endless amusement that you pretend it's by choice.

Happy Birthday, BP. May you outlive BBC, and do it with your teeth intact.

BBC said...

I see that piece of shit decided to leave a comment here.

BBC said...

Buy hey, she'll help make dentists richer so she can die with all her teeth, hahahaha

BBC said...

It's never been my goal to get very old with all my teeth while shitting in a diaper and being fed nourishment through tubes anyway. I prefer to go out with a bang.

BBC said...

Shit for brains doesn't realize that I wouldn't talk about her if she would just go away. But being a vicious little bitch she isn't about to do that. :-)

BBC said...

Actually, I think it drives shit for brains nuts when I don't talk about her, she craves the attention. hehehe

BBC said...

I'm rolling up on 69, shit for brains will never make it that far, hehehe

BBC said...

Eating 56 hard boiled eggs could produce some interesting farts you can share with those you don't like.

billy pilgrim said...

billy - i think i'll have to institute a one insult leslie per day policy starting tomorrow.

leslie - you're welcome to insult bbc over here. i remember your gumming oatmeal and shitting in the backyard comment from a few months ago. that was my favorite. thanks for the birthday wish.

thims - guess what; my feckin desktop computer went on the fritz again. it was installing updates last night and this morning all i get is a black screen. it looks like the money i was going to spend on new speakers will be going to a new computer.

i was planning on buying a coffee grinder but i received a shit load of girly boy flavored coffee for my birthday that i have to drink first.

BBC said...

I'm okay with one insult a day, if the same holds true for Leslie I'll honor it.

I avoid Windows updates until I'm forced to install them, by then they have some of the bugs out of them.

harry said...

Happy Birthday you auld son of a bachelor.

I'd tell you we're the same vintage but who gives a shit,eh?

Many Happy returns auld chap.

BBC said...

Spotted on a blog....

Correct punctuation and sentence structure is for the weak.

thimscool said...

Boot to safe mode and system restore.

BBC said...

I think you may need to give him more info than that if he's getting a black screen.

I would turn it off and when it started to boot up after turning it back on I would hit the esc, F8 or F11 key to force it too the option for boot up, then select the safe mode.

Reminds me, I should write down the proper key to hit on this unit when I boot up in case I need it.

BBC said...

System Restore is in your System Tools, or Maintenance folder for Win 7. Restore to a date when it was working good before the update.

BBC said...

Thimscool is a geek, he forgets that we're pretty much computer idiots compared to him.

billy pilgrim said...

i tried that and the screen is still black. the little netbook is working fine at the moment so i'll just keep my eyes open for a good deal on a desktop.

billy pilgrim said...

hey wait a minute. maybe one of those fucking scrapbookers sent me a nasty virus.

are there any female muslim scrapbookers?

BBC said...

I guess that desktops are going out of style, thinking my next unit will be a laptop or a tablet.

Or maybe a netbook (notebook?) with a bigger screen, or a second screen for my netbook, it has a port for one. It does everything I do with a computer.

Leslie said...

Ok. I think it's plain to see who's off the rails here.

A couple of pro-tips for BBC...

If I call you a "piece of shit", you should reach way down into your limited vocabulary and find something else to call me. Keeps things interesting.

Likewise, challenging me to die with all my teeth is not really a stinging response. If you'd read something besides Post Secret and comic strips you'd know that an unhealthy mouth equals an unhealthy heart and an unhealthy brain. Your problem in a nutshell.

BBC said...

I knew that she would be back, she’s just like stink on shit, she is the stink on shit.

Very well spoken, shit for brains… If you do make it to 69 you’ll be housed in an insane asylum, but you’ll have fine teeth, hehehe.

I’m not inclined to waste any more words on ms. shit for brains today.

BBC said...

Billy P, maybe you should make your rule one insult per post rather than one insult per day.

billy pilgrim said...

leslie - i have to agree with you about oral hygiene and heart disease but i'm guessing the bacteria should be easy to kill for billy when he removes his chompers in the evening.

billy - i don't post very often so the 1 insult per day policy stands. i'll be picking up a new desktop in the next few weeks to dovetail with sonny's next visit so he can load me up with free software etc.

BBC said...

Well, I don't tolerate the bitches constant insults on my blog and I won't tolerate them here so maybe I'll just stop visiting you.

I don't wear chompers, don't need them, most folks that have their teeth removed look like their mouth has caved in but because of thick jaw bones I don't have that problem.

Others don't realize I don't have any teeth unless I mention it, and it's true that some women like to have their nipples gummed. :-)

A new computer at times is always a good thing, other than setting it up and transferring all your stuff too it.

thimscool said...

Next you're going to let Leslie chase you offline entirely.

BBC said...

And how would that be my loss?

thimscool said...

You won't know what flavor of coffee Billy is drinking...

BBC said...

I don't care what flavor of coffee he is drinking, she doesn't either, she doesn't care about any of his stuff, she just started coming here for the opportunity to insult me being as my other friends didn't allow that on their blogs.

I can read his posts without commenting or reading the comments.

BBC said...

I have 1897 posts on the internet, all of them still being visited, guess I've done covered about everything.

More camping and boating is good...

billy pilgrim said...

billy - inquiring minds are dying to know what flavor of coffee i'm drinking.

you seem a little crankier than usual this morning. sorry for assuming that used false chompers.

if you quit dropping by due to leslie's comments i'll have no choice but to declare her the winner.

thimscool - i have a package of butter toffee coffee on deck and a package of southern pecan sticky bun in the batter's circle. i'm not making these names up but bear in mind they were gifts.

any thoughts on lenovo desktops?

thimscool said...

What is the most demanding application? Are you a gamer?

If not, get a ThinkCentre with Intel chipset and stick with onboard video. Win7 Home Premium 64 bit with 4GB of RAM. Price will range from $400 at the low end to over $1k if you want the latest chipset. I'd look at something with at least an E7500 processor (dual core). You should be able to get one under $600 USD.

thimscool said...

Fit and finish is better on the M series than the A series.

For workstations I also like Dell Optiplex with the same features.

billy pilgrim said...

not a gamer. i usually have about 10 windows open for different financial sites that are constantly updating and i have been known to download the odd movie or tv show. i figure something in the $500 range should keep me in business.

Leslie said...

Fascinating.

How can someone who spends his days bashing and degrading and stereotyping EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE be so thin-skinned?

Billy I haven't commented on any of your other "friends'" blogs, so stop lying. You really are ridiculous. And need I remind you that YOU, assuming it a safe haven, started it on this blog, not me. If you want to be left alone, clean up your act. You're a massive hypocrite and a big crybaby.

And I'm a huge fan of coffee, fy fucking i. Plastic sheeting and a thousand uses for WD40, not so much.

BBC said...

I don't give a damn if she thinks that makes her a winner.

I don't care what kind of coffee you drink but there's other interesting shit here.

Thimscool gives good advice but he tends to think on the high end. I think you can find something suitable for your five hundred smackers.

BBC said...

My three hundred dollar E Machine is sneaking up on a year old and I'm happy with how it works.

Nit Wit said...

Happy Birthday! You are now older than me. Well, until February 5th anyway. I'll be 56 born in 56. I don't remember my 28th birthday. Must have been a great party. :P

BBC said...

Leslie passed the one insult a day rule because she is a fucking cunt. Like a pit bull that just keeps on giving and giving.

No offense to Ruby of course.

BBC said...

That bitch is a real dick turn off.

BBC said...

Well, I tried to honor your rule.

thimscool said...

56 comments! You've made it, Billy!

Have some caviar and a Cohiba blunt.

BBC said...

I don't think that he is into cigars.

BBC said...

It's not so hard to get 56 comments between a wise man and a fucking idiot.

BBC said...

Lets see if we can get to 69.

billy pilgrim said...

56 comments! if that isn't nice, what is?

who's the wise and who's the idiot? of course one man's wise man is another man's idiot.

anyone falling for the bear trap rally might also be an idiot.

BBC said...

If you know what a bear trap rally is you have that going for you also.

thimscool said...

I'll sell you some stock in my company, Billy, since you're a savvy investor. But it's not cheap.

BBC said...

I'll sell you some stock in my company, Billy, since you're a savvy investor. But it's not cheap.

I'm sure it's not, can't make much money on cheap stocks.

Oh hell, never mind.

BBC said...

My money is invested in ammo, will trade protection for sex, maybe. Not interested in sex with bitches.

BBC said...

When investors lose their asses that pleases me because the stock markets are one of the things that are wrong on this rock.

billy pilgrim said...

i'm bullish on base metals. empty beer cans for aluminum and pennies for the steel and nickel (with a trace of copper)

BBC said...

I recycle cans also, but the price I get for them pales to what you get for them.

BBC said...

The next comment will have the honor of being comment #69.

thimscool said...

Gold is a sucker's bet right now, unless you're short term. True that the cheap labor sovereign's are in, but they'll dump it when they realize that their people can't eat it and no one is buying their trinkets anymore. At that point it's all about life's necessities. Besides, in any significant quantity you'll get taxed out the ass if you actually sell it at a profit.

Silver in small, recognizable, untraceable quantities is a good bet as a stable medium of exchange during the run up to the next world war, but then it'll all be about lead, steel, oil, and food.

The best long-term bet is to invest is marketable skills that increase productive capacity... like my company. Shall I send you a prospectus?

BBC said...

The best long-term bet is to invest is marketable skills that increase productive capacity.

You are preaching to the choir, I'm very self effect.

But you did nail comment 69.

BBC said...

Prospectus, isn't that a bug with eight legs?

BBC said...

Friday, and it's going to be a fine day, maybe I should do some boating.

Or get it sanded so I can finish painting it before the weather goes to hell, winter sneaks up on us fast.

billy pilgrim said...

thimscool - i think gold is an insurance policy more than investment. i buy it because i like it and any profit is a side benefit.

i'm usually too lazy to read a prospectus. it's been my experience that most hot ipo's are not available to the common man, leaving the risky stuff for guys like me.

i was blacklisted from ipo participation at tdameritrade for canceling an expression of interest after the book closed. best thing that ever happened to me.

as keynes said about the long run:
"The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead."

BBC said...

It seems that gold can be an insurance policy if things hit rock bottom, you can trade it for food and sex.

In the short run I just like a dry place to sleep and some food and I'm not very picky. Of course, chocolate is a bonus.

harry said...

Still trying to read,
'MONEY
Whence it Came,
Where it Went',
John Kenneth Galbraith, 1973.

As far as I can gather it's still all just smoke and mirrors.

Slackers.

BBC said...

There's a gold buyer in town, paying 28 bucks a gram, I don't know if that is a good price or not but the cutie standing by the road with the sign sure has nice hooters.

I have a 1987 liberty silver dollar, four Canadian two dollar loonies, couple cans of loose coins, bunch of bullets and seven pounds of powder.

By my standards I'm a rich man. Oh, and about fifty pounds of cans.

thimscool said...

Mine is a closely held private s-corp. Ametitrade is irrelevant.

Since you are hesitating, I'll agree this once to exchange an ounce of gold per share, upon physical delivery. Last chance!

BBC said...

I'm not interested in gold, make mine an equivalent amount of high quality chocolate.

thimscool said...

Pudding is in route!

BBC said...

Pudding, hahaha, cute.

But in hard times women want real chocolate, and will do anything to get it.

BBC said...

Billy might hit a hundred comments.

Go team, rah rah rah!!

BBC said...

Helen will be cremated when she dies, would it be okay for me to sell her three gold teeth when she's done with them?

billy pilgrim said...

harry - read the new industrial state. i read it in high school and it was very insightful.

the technostructure serves itself and not the shareholders.

thimscool - where do i send my gold?

billy - how high's the water papa?

it's 82 comments and rising!

billy pilgrim said...

billy - hang on to helen's gold teeth! put 2 on a necklace and make yourself an nice earring with the 3rd. of course you'll wear the earring in your left lobe.

Happy Birthday!I always have such mixed feelings about birthdays.

BBC said...

Been sanding on the boat, I’ve breathed in enough lead base paint dust today, it’s beer:30 at Rick’s, better go have a few with him before he heads off on his grand adventure to the opal field this weekend. It’s in Nevada so he might trade some shinys to the hookers. I’m sure his wife won’t mind being as she is, you know, dead.

BBC said...

Ah shit, did I sour the mood here with the truth?

billy pilgrim said...

thimscool - the package is on it's way.

secret - thanks!

billy - the mood cannot be soured at the happiest place on earth! which dwarf would you like to be?

happy, grumpy, sneezy, doc.....

BBC said...

which dwarf would you like to be?

Horny.

Stop talking about her, she lurks just waiting to see her name mentioned so she can accuse others of talking about her all the time.

billy pilgrim said...

stepmom be gone.

BBC said...

It's goof off Saturday, guess I'll do some more sanding on the boat, hope to put some more paint on it in a week or two.

BBC said...

After looking at the news I can't say that I see any improvement in the big picture. Guess I'll just be happy that things are relatively stable around here.

billy pilgrim said...

time to read a book, xenocide.

the human race is facing extinction. you might like it.

I recon we deserve extinction.

billy pilgrim said...

billy - thanks for leaving the magic 100th comment for me.

fuck, i wish i had something profound to say.

BBC said...

Bingo ! 100 comments for your birthday post.

Treat yourself to a joint.

billy pilgrim said...

maybe a puff or two tonight when i throw on the mighty boosh. (it's a tv show out of england, kinda monty pythonish)

BBC said...

Fucking old hippie, hehehe

Bless you my son...

billy pilgrim said...

thank you father.
