Horses are more at home with a flowered shower curtain.

It's a Photoshop. The cushions give it away.

How cold is it? This is from the Star Tribune (Minneapolis):

“I’m expecting to be trapped,” Laura Baier of Minneapolis said Saturday as she stocked a cart full of bread, fruit and vegetables at Rainbow Foods, which is shutting down all Minnesota stores Monday evening so employees and truck drivers aren’t out in the historic cold. “I’m expecting my car to not start for one, two, three days.”

Does my ass look big in this couch?

Icepick said...

I'd hate to have to clean that litter box.

Also, Bagoh wins the thread.

Lem, of course De Blasio will have none of this. He wants to help out his "friend" from Newark who needs more garage space.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

The one we sent to the Senate. He will be right at home there with Harry Reid.

I'm not a horse person. I like horses. I appreciate horses. Gorgeous creatures. But I do not want a horse. I have friends with horses and they are a very expensive hobby. Actually, when I die, I'd like to come back as my friend's horse because she treats her horses really well.
She hangs out with this guy.
great movie - btw.
Now if I did have a horse, I would have to have a heated barn for the horse. On a day/night like this, the horse would be inside. I'd have it no other way.

Happy birthday to DBQ and Darcy. I think I missed em.
:) Cheers.

AllenS said...

As long as a horse has good hay and access to water, and if you wanted to, some grain, they don't notice the cold. You need to have a shelter, if only a wind break. They are tough. Animals are tough. If they weren't, they would have all been dead a long time ago.

Happy Birthday to all that is having one.

The cattle exhaust in that room probably smells like the bullshit emanating from some think tank strategy session in D.C. going on right now.

"Today's PSA"

Geez, I thought you were gonna tell us your prostate was acting up.

Then there was a horse pic, and I got worried.

bagoh20 said...

Garage? Wow! Welcome, dude.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I take it Horse Whisperer was about that guy.

Unknown said...

Buck Brannaman, if I can remember correctly, (my cowgirl friend would scold me if I got it wrong) was the inspiration for the Horse Whisperer. But everyone who knows Buck knows Robert Redford's movie "The Horse Whisperer" was nothing to do with Buck's real story. Buck's life is a story worth telling - best without all the fake Hollywood crapola layered on top.

This just in: Rachel Maddow, lying hack.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

She made the whole thing up to fool the low-IQ viewers who form MSNBC’s base.

I hate it when they change venarculation on me.

I thought it was low information... oh, I see, we are talking about MSNBC's viewers.

Even then, I believe the sample is too small for 'reputable pundits' to make assumptions.

Just so that we are clear.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

There is very little red meat for them these days.

So Maddow is doing the best she can, bless her heart.

It's so funny... I'm watching some PBS show now and then at the end they thank the Koch brothers for making it possible.

Unknown said...

Nova.

Unknown said...

MSNBC is obsessed with Koch.

Did you read to the end? It's actually really funny.


But the MSNBC corruption goes deeper still. Rachel Maddow says that any company that supports the State Policy Network is “affiliated with” the Florida Foundation for Government Accountability, and is responsible for everything FFGA does. That is wrong, but let’s go with it. Who else, besides Koch, has supported the State Policy Network? You might be surprised: the list includes Microsoft, Facebook, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, GlaxoSmithKline, Kraft Foods, and many more. So Maddow randomly singled out Koch as opposed to any of these other companies as the sponsor of the Florida legislation which, as far as we know, Koch wasn’t even aware of. Well, not randomly, because MSNBC is obsessed with Koch, but you get the point.

But wait! A final level of deception remains to be revealed: one of the many companies that have contributed to the State Policy Network is Comcast, which owns MSNBC and is Rachel Maddow’s employer. So in her Thursday broadcast, Maddow could equally well have said that MSNBC “ha[s] been promoting forced drug tests for people on welfare,” and that FFGA is an “MSNBC-affiliated group.” She didn’t do this for obvious reasons. She knew that she was addressing a stupid audience that would never know the difference.

Hey I heard that this couple can get married in Utah now or something like that there.

Mazel Tov ladies.

deborah said...

Hey Garage, don't be a stranger :)

Trooper York said...

Garage has a lot of time on his hands now that the Packers have finally choked in the playoffs.

Welcome buddy.

Trooper York said...

I can't wait for your commentary when Scott Walker gets the nomination for President at the Republican convention.

It will be full of awesome sauce.

USA women's hockey team is kicking the shit out of the Canucks.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Nova... that's the one.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

"Pogo is dead" sounds like a guest post.

Nova. I doubt MSNBC watchers know about Nova.

Open thread?

I have a thing for couples in music. For years I loved The Creatures. S and B were married and I enjoyed how they made that work with just voice and drums. Well, I found a new love, another married couple: Over The Rhine. A pleasant E-town discovery. I purchased the CD "The Trumpet Child" back then, and wow is it great. I'm not a fan of the first and last songs, but the rest are stellar.
So I find this Portland gig and I'm over the moon.
Thought I'd share. Superb clever song writing. The 3rd song nameless, Don't miss.
tap tap..I'm tempted to slide on over slide on over..

Just checked the weather back in my hometown in western PA. 13 below with 30mph winds ~ -40 wind chill. That's inhuman.

AllenS, Jessie Vetter[goalie] is from my town of Cottage Grove. I coached her in baseball as a kid[great athlete] and her older brother in Legion ball. Her old man was my insurance agent for 25 years. Jessie was a soccer goalie on two state championships and the goalie for the boys hockey team in high school. A quiet kid and coaches dream. Show her something once, and she's got it. Her dad was a very good Home Talent League[adult men] baseball player. I'm currently reading a book, The Sports Gene by David Epstein. Fascinating. The average eyesight for an MLB hitter is 20/11. Ted Williams had 20/8 eyesight. With the human eye structure, 20/8 is the limit, and extremely rare.

AllenS said...

Late in the third period there was a fight involving a lot of the girls. One from the US put a hard check on one of the Canucks into the boards and all hell broke loose. They have a no checking rule for the women's hockey teams. There was some hard punches thrown. I was impressed.

chickelit said...

Ted Williams had 20/8 eyesight.

A stat like that needs more eyeballs. Good thing his are preserved for all to see one day.

ndspinelli said...

AllenS, REAL BAD BLOOD between those 2 teams.

ndspinelli said...

chick, I drive the Ted Williams Pkwy sometimes. As I've said, I'll give you a shout out when I get to SoCal.

Buck

The Movie. Amazing story -- quite a guy. Buy for $5 through Lem's doorway. Blu-Ray is more.

True story. Documentary.

And people like Pat Parelli (I know, its a cult) teach people who end up catching their horses like this.

Unknown said...

Thanks, JAL. It really is a good movie. Great for a date night.
