I should make an addendum that I know it was a somewhat popular Christmas movie before, but the rise in Christmas Story saturation has been somewhat recent.

A Wonderful Life went through this.
It was on all the time. Then someone figured out if you show it once or twice, better ratings and people do not avoid the movie. Eventually the same thing will happen with a Christmas Story.

Semi-sorta "A Christmas Story" turkey event
Mrs. with a beer opens the fridge last night and says, “What is that smell? Please tell me it’s not the turkey for Christmas.” I pull the bag out and take a sniff. Even with my inferior sniffer I’m dismayed, but I pass it over to the house champion. “What do you think?…”
Five minutes later I’m off to the store with the offending bird. Go to the service desk and am happy to see on of my kids school friends that I watched grow up, so no trouble returning the bird (not that there ever should have been anyway). I head back to the meat department and… no more turkeys. All gone, saith the guy at the meat counter.
A quick call home for instructions, and a few minutes later I’m leaving with a honey-baked spiral sliced ham. Now to me, a Christmas ham is interchangeable with a turkey, but Mrs. with a beer is upset. She’s still mourning her turkey, while I’m not-so-secretly pleased to not have to deal with the remaining carcass. A ham is a ham, but a turkey is a dissection project from hell.

Over 70 days in orbit
Big-ass orbit, unfortunately at an extreme angle to the Moon, so I couldn’t attempt insertion. Could not for the life of me figure out which direction to thrust to get perigee back to surface. Ran out of fuel trying.
Need refresher: isn’t “chase” from directly behind your orbit, so that thrusting toward the camera is retrofire? What is “orbit” view. How DO you determine your attitude in relation to orbital velocity.
Did this with the Mark IV: three-engine liquid with 3×3 fuel tanks, 1×3 2nd stage and 1×2 first stage.
No solids, please, I’m on a liquid diet.

Don't use the camera, use the symbols on your attitude indicator (the trackball thing).
Yellow circle is the vector in which you’re headed, and green circle with the x through it is the retrograde vector. Line up the crosshairs on the attitude indicator with the green symbol for a proper retro burn. Also remember that a burn in any direction raises (if forward burn) or lowers (if retroburn) the opposite side of the orbit. Apogee adjustments are done at perigee, and perigee adjustments are made at apogee. And the more eccentricity in your orbit, the quicker it will change.
by Socrates Johnson on Dec 25, 2011 4:35 PM EST up reply actions
Also, adjustments at Munar insertion can be really sensitive.
My rocket to get off Kerbin has a lot of power/mass, so I can’t make many attitude adjustments until I’m relatively high. When I go for TMI, I end up on a hyperbolic path once I hit the Munar sphere of influence and need to correct it (which typically ends up in a very eccentric Munar orbit), else I’ll end up in a wide Solar orbit.

Damn, I knew those symbols meant something
but in the spirit of the Kerbal-EDSBS liason, reading the instructions is incidental to having fun. I’ll keep that in mind for the next trip, though.

Holy fuck I overshot the moon and went into orbit of the sun.
The online video I found of kerbal moon landing – I couldn’t build the booster stages properly.
So, I built my own that gave me lots of extra fuel in orbit.
Parachute>Capsule>Decoupler>Advanced SAS>Liquid Tank>Liquid Tank>Vector Engine>Decoupler>Triple>3 Tanks>3 Nonvectoring engines.
Now, here is where it gets tricky. I added 3 tanks to the outside of each side of that inner core and added vectoring engines to those. I then connected them all at the base with structural support AAAANNNNDDD connected all the fuel tanks in the stacks to each other so the non-vectoring engines wouldn’t run out of fuel ridiculously early.
Then, I added some horizontal decouplers – 6 – and added solids to those, with additonal solids on those for a total of 12 solids. Added some fins and wings to the solids that would overheat, and made sure that all the solids were solidly connected to the ship. made sure my staging was correct -such that all 12 solids plus 3 vectoring plus 3 nonvectoring all went off on the pad, then shed the solids once they were done, got into orbit around the time the fuel ran out for the 3 vectoring and 3 nonvectoring engines, ditched those and then had 2 full tanks and a vectoring engine to play around with in space.
Man, just teensy adjustments at the AP and PE change orbits huge.
And if you miss the moon you can get slung to anywhere.

I just successfully did a lunar orbit insertion
and escape, using my Mun-1 rocket. The trick seems to be to have a somewhat larger orbit that puts your apogee outside of the Mun and sneak up behind it, then do a burn to slow up and fall into orbit. It just so happened that my approach put me into a hyperbolic orbit with my Pg right behind the mun. A quick burn there and Bob’s your uncle, I was in orbit.
I played around a bit to see how low to the moon I could approach, but I wanted to have a successful return, so I quit fooling around and headed home. I did a retroburn while in conjunction with the mun, fell into a hyperbolic orbit for a while, but continued the burn until I was in a return orbit.
When I got a bit closer I did another burn to make sure I’d return, and then rode it out the rest of the way home. It got a bit scary at the end when I re-entered into a mountain range, but I slid safely to a stop and everyone survived.
Hooray!

Ignorant question is ignorant,
But how the hell do you aim your rocket at stuff, i.e. mun and make burns. I can get an orbit, other than that, everything is just pure guessing and hoping.
"It's like an owl without a graduation cap; Heartbreaking!!" -Tracy Jordan
The attitude indicator at the bottom is absolutely critical.
The yellow and green pointers make pro- and retro-burns possible.
Adjusting speed will either raise (increasing speed with a pro-burn) or lower (decreasing speed with a retro-burn) the opposite side of your orbit.
Yellow bug on the indicator is the direction for your pro-burns; green with an x for retro burns. If you want to insert into Munar orbit, raise apoapsis to slightly farther than the Mun’s orbital path. If your plane of the orbit is off. perform a burn perpendicular to the pro burn vector to adjust accordingly.

Yes, Shogun: Total War 2 was the game of last night.
I’m also playing Sengoku, which is quite nice, and very very different.
Though last night I realized I may have to break down and buy the latest NCAA offering. I didn’t realize that in NCAA10 (the last one I have) the conference creator only allows you to swap teams, not remake conferences altogether. That just won’t do going forward with all the conferenceapalooza nonsense.

Had Medieval, but only played it a little bit.
The European based ones didn’t really hold my attention until Empire, which I had in Afghanistan, and I fell in love with artillery. That was the biggest adjustment coming back to Shogun. And of course, it is MY period, which means that I have to ignore all the silly anachronisms and simplicity of the whole thing.
Sengoku much more accurately captures the political angles of 15th-16th century Japan, but the tactical combat is non-existent. If I could combine the two…

Keilbasa
Deitz and Watson makes decent Keilbasa if you can buy D&W meats down there. Also if there is a Wegman’s around their deli section has good keilbasa.
I used to cook keilbasa in beer and then pan frying them however I’ve been expirmenting. Doing this makes a tastier sausage. Take (1 pound) keilbasa put in frying pan Add 1/2-1" mix of malt vinegar, a couple tablespoons of worestireshire sauce and water for about 8-10 min covered. Discard the vinegar mix and then pan fry for 5-10 minutes and dash malt vinegar during the fry every now and then to keep the sausage a tad moist and prevent the pan from getting too hot that the juices escape. .
Keilbasa is the thing I miss most about Pittsburgh. Lampert’s Keilbasa is the all time greatest, and a minimum of 5 lbs should be picked up anytime you pass through the city (actually McKeesport, PA).
We had a math teacher at our elementary school named Kielbasa
He looked like he ate it 5 meals a day.

There is a lawyer in Lexington that needs to be cockpunched. I dont know his name, so just go ahead and take care of the whole lot. Thanks much.

I'm around Lexington, as always
I’m gonna need $75 for a new pair of cock-punching gloves. Any more to go on or should I just wander into the offices of Greenbaum and cockpunch everything in sight?
Sposed to be SEC
You can limit it attorneys who have made a will at sometime in their career
That should cut it down a bunch Im sure.
I spent a big chunk of yesterday afternoon putting together a spreadsheet to track the ownership of a piece of land from my great-great-grandfathers death in 1934. It was screwed up enough in general, but the will of my [insert obscure relationship I dont think I can calculate here] turned it into a complete clusterfuck. And I blame the lawyer in part.
47 fucking acres. AT LEAST 25 owners. 25 that we know of, but 2 of them are dead (that we know of) and no clue what they did with their fraction, since we arent sure how aware they were of owning it.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
Title chasing is always fun
Did the lawyer try to devise some property the client didn’t own?
Sposed to be SEC
The lawyer let her put a "residual" clause in the will.
She forgot about the property (she remembered the bigger land which she owned 83% of and carefully left it to the proper members of the family, even if it did split it up again). She left the unmentioned residuals to 11 different people, some of whom arent family. Her 33% of the 47 acres fell into the residuals. So 8 new people became 3% owners (3 of the people from the 11 already owned parts, so added 3% onto their totals).
Any lawyer that lets their client put a residuals clause in isnt properly doing their job.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
Actually, you really do need residues
It makes the probate process much tidier and cheaper if you can just dump any property that wasn’t specifically mentioned in the will. They’re also extremely useful as a planning device to let the client solve any of the innumerable problems that could crop up (rather than the government deciding by intestacy). Catch-alls are a good thing.
The lawyer’s problem wasn’t the clause, it was failing to investigate the property the client owned. People forget what they own (or were never made aware of it) all the time. A good lawyer follows up to verify what the client owns but forgot about (or may not be aware of).
Sposed to be SEC
The problem I see with residuals is the post-death judgement
You get killed by a commercial driver driving drunk whose boss knew about his alcohol problem and BAM!, if done improperly, the random group of folks in the residuals get to split the multi-million dollar judgement.
It isnt so much the residuals clause, per se, as the practice of not putting the main beneficiaries in the residual clause. If the lawyer informs the client of this potential, it gets set up right.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
You nailed it
There’s always an inherent problem with a client wanting to keep the will as cheap as possible but also be ironclad enough to deal with any potential problem that could arise. Foreseeing the future isn’t easy and attempts by a lawyer to do so and accommodate it can get very expensive quickly. But your problem (client unaware of an interest in property they own) is common and should be taken care of by a good lawyer.
Sposed to be SEC
I guess my thought is that if the lawyer takes 5 minutes to explain my crazy scenario
the client will leave the residuals to their main heirs instead of some random collection of friends and obscure cousins who you are trying to leave a token mention to. Which then makes everything smoother.
That wouldnt have entirely fixed the problem in this case, but the people receiving the land all would have already owned some of it, so it wouldnt have been a big deal.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
From my spreadsheet, between 1934 and today
AT LEAST 43 different people have owned some fraction of that land for some period of time.
And one of the current owners is over 100, my Mom is assuming we will be adding at least 4 new people to the spreadsheet in 2012.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!

Well I don’t see anything in the rules that would make that unethical. We’re gonna have to negotiate the contingency, though. Can I have an agent do the cockpunching (the fuck else do I have a paralegal for anyway?). What if the victim has a cup? What about multiple punches?
Contingency: No fee shall be earned by Old South for cockpunching services unless his blow or the blow of his agent is of sufficient force that a reasonably person in cockpunchee’s shoes would feel substantial physical pain and emotional distress as a result of the cockpunching.

There are issues with how they do it sometimes, but they have a job to do, and I appreciate it.
I went up to the security checkpoint personnel at Atl/Hartsfield when I flew back from Afghanistan and told them I’d just come back, and a lot of people had been stopping me to thank me, and I wanted to pass some of that on to them, because they probably don’t hear too much thanks, but they are doing the same sort of job. I thought they were going to start crying on me.

Is Bahrain one of the fine places
where having a piece of marijuana stuck to your shoe ends in jail time?
I am in favor of no sport which puts a stick in the hands of an Irishman - K.K.R.
No idea, wasn't an issue of mine.
Bahrain was the place I got stuck on an overnight layover. Airline sent me to sketchy-as-all-getout hotel in the middle of downtown, where my room was directly above a Bahraini disco. Arab pop music stopped playing at about 3 AM, so I got about an hour of sleep before themosque calls to prayer woke me back up at 4. I got my stuff, hired a cab, and went back to the airport, because it was all just too freaky.

This. Especially the Charlotte and Atlanta airports for some reason.
But when a TSA guy says we need to look at your (my) shoulder and back of my head, look real quick, usher me off to the side in front of the machine that checks for explosive residue, tells me to wait there for a minute, the leaves because it turns out he told me to wait there because he though my stuff was coming down that side’s conveyor (it wasn’t) and it turns out they were just closing the lane I went through down and makes Mr. SJ look like a dumbass it isn’t fun.
And all the chodes who bum rush the gate before their zones are called are the other things that piss me off about flying.

Yep, I'm just weird.
I can’t stand the idea of wearing my uniform when traveling. Probably because I’ve lived so long overseas and so the uniform would attract the wrong kind of attention. It’s become habit, so it’d be weird to walk around an airport in uniform.
That said, when coming back from AF my backpack was ACU pattern, so it’s not like you couldn’t tell who I was. That’s why I was getting lots of “thank you’s” from random passerby.

Always a great read if only for this:
Our third runner-up: No Question.
The people in sports broadcasting whose first response to any question is "No question … " or “There’s No Question …” is now the majority. No perfectly legitimate question is safe from instant dismissal. They could be on stage with Hamlet for his “To be or not to be?” moment and shoot right back with “No question …”
Made it to airport.
Lines for baggage check at AA, SWA and United not short. Lines for security longer. TSA on the ball and opened another security line (I like to think just for me). Unlike San Antonio, I have free internet access (thanks AT&T). It’s a damned Christmas Miracle.
