Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The revolution will be supervised.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Let there be snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

No one could have predicted…

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

We still have time to mess this up!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

I’m having an amusing discussion with some Facebook friends about the weight of a boob.  This discussion led to a friend weighing her boobs on a kitchen scale.  They were lighter than I imagined they would be, coming in under two pounds each.  (I would have guessed 4 pounds, easily, given her DD size.)

I have no scale, so the best I can do is grab a five pound bag of flour in one hand, a boob in the other, and try to guess.  Not exactly scientific, is it?

So I decided to google it: “How much does a breast weight?”  My favorite response?  “”It depends on the beast! If it is an elephant, it can weigh up to 6 tons.”

Yes, I’m in a silly silly mood, Balloonbaggers.

    Your friend’s boobs being about two pounds seems right. I am using a 16 ounces bottle of water and a 20 ounce bottle of water. My breast is definitely heavier than the 16 oz. bottle, but less then the 20 oz and I am a D. And (for the nerds) I do realize there is a difference between dry ounces and fluid ounces, but I’m doing this on the fly with the tools at hand.

    Like MacGuyver, is you will.

    Stumbled across one of those WaPo “5 Myths About So-and-so,” this one about Reagan. It was weird because most of the “myths” were more true than not, at least in the way Edmund Morris “refuted” them. Myth #1 was that Reagan was a bad actor. Yes, he was a terrible actor but “he was transformed into a superb actor when he took on the roles of governor of California, presidential candidate and president of the United States.” I don’t know how much of a compliment that is.

    Myth #2 is “He was but a “celluloid soldier” in World War II”:

    It’s true that Reagan spent virtually all the war years flying a desk at the First Motion Picture Unit, USAAF, in Culver City. But that hardly means he did not passionately want to fight for his country overseas.

    It won’t be long before passionately wanting to fight is considered more heroic than actually fighting because that’s what most Republicans do.

    The rest of it isn’t too bad, but I like how Morris “explodes” the myth that Reagan was a dunce:

    Yeah, right, Clark Clifford. Ronald Reagan only performed successfully in six different careers: radio sportscaster, movie actor, trade union president, corporate spokesman, two-term governor and two-term president of the United States. Lucky for him he wasn’t hampered by Jimmy Carter’s intelligence!

    I thought he just said Reagan was a crappy actor, and does it take any brains to be a corporate spokesman? One could argue Reagan’s entire career was that of a corporate spokesman.

    Weighing them while they’re attached is tough. It is a lot easier to weigh them when they’re not attached, or better yet, weigh a synthetic pair. Amazon says that a size 36C pair of silicone breastforms weighs about 1.2 pounds each and a pair of 38Fs weigh about 3 pounds each.

    As I watched Bo Derek in 10, I was considering the viscosity and coefficient of restitution of a breast; density, not so much.

    As a first approximation, I’d use the weight of a silicone implant.

    @The Dangerman: That’s just what my tired old Target bras looked like!

    Speaking of tits, my boss insulted me by asking my co-worker to put together a Web form.

    This after I sent him, at his request, an extensive narrative of my years of experience building databases, Web sites, and database-backed Web sites a few weeks ago.

    The narrative was in pursuit of a job as a database builder/analyst, which I can rock the shit out of.

    Obviously, he didn’t consider me because my tits are too big. ;-)

    Should I tell him I’m insulted? Or just rock the job?

    I tend toward the latter, because it’s my way (to be underpaid).

    Should I tell him that I know he didn’t read what he asked me to send him, otherwise, he would have come straight to me?

    @gnomedad: That’s the right method, but note that breast tissue is less dense than water (i.e., they float). :-) Interestingly, the exact density varies (sometimes quite a lot) and the variation is significant in terms of things like mammography and breast cancer and so on. There’s no clear and precise correspondence though, which is why there’s no standard density test as part of one’s medical screening…

    @hamletta: Well, without knowing specifics like how long you have been there and how much you need the job, my suggestion would be to let it slide without comment, but file it away to see if it becomes part of a pattern (either of sexism or just of piss poor management). If you have the time and it looks like your coworker is struggling with the task (or some part of it), I would see if they need any help. In my limited experience I have found that bosses learn quite a bit about a new employee as a result of conversations they have with other employees who have more contact with the new person. (I have both been formally asked my opinion of a new co-worker after we travelled onsite together to install our software and I know that it has come up in informal conversations over lunch, dinner, drinks, etc.)

    EDIT: Not to be all doom and gloom, it is quite possible that this is something the two of you will laugh about a few years from now after you two get on the same page.

    @hamletta: Oh, I look askance at the idea of human milk being made into ice cream myself, but I also find that looking askance absurd. I find myself absurd quite a lot, being human.

    Sounds like you want to go the full Mythbusters route. I think they did that with Kari Byron once, but not for the experiment that this thread proposes.

    I should to it anyway, so I can remember what having F-cup boobs was like after I get ‘em reduced.

    Your popularity on this blog just increased by a factor of ten. I however am immune to the powers of jubleys.

    @Joseph Nobles: Oh, the ice cream doesn’t bother me. I’d just hate its becoming a “food trend,” where poor women are turned into wet nurses for obnoxious foodies.

    @sfinny:

    So how much does a pen1s weigh?

    This depends very much on whether there is, um, shrinkage, or not.

    @Tattoosydney: There are simply too many variables to calculate accurately. I choose not to concern myself with such matters and just enjoy what is about.

    Good times. We were also fond of dramatic readings of Penthouse Forum letters. The girl who taught little deaf children would interpret in ASL. If I ever have to communicate with a deaf person, I can say “fuck.”

    It’s likely that many here are among the 1,349,811 views of this instructional vid but I’ve watched it four or five times now and it’s hilarious every time.

    @Angry Black Lady: Don’t get me wrong, I find the whole affair quite popcorn-worthy. I would pay good bread for you to have a troll to clash with that was worthy of your talents however. That show would indeed be quite epic.

    @ ABL I go away for sunny fun filled vacay and come back to weighing boobs! I guess I miss all the fun!
    Just in the name of science, or hormonal psychosis, when I was breast feeding my youngest, I did use my kitchen scale and weigh each of my breasts before and after (and in the interest of science weighed him, always the empiricist and I recorded it in his baby book) Pre feed R 4.5 lbs, L 5. 25 lbs, post feed R 3.75 lbs, L 4. 65 lbs. Baby pre feed 8 lbs 8 oz, post feed 8lbs 14 oz (plus 1 wet and soiled diaper which I didn’t weigh to keep scale clean) The things you do when you are hormonal.

    Yeah, I can go there. When I went back to work with my oldest, I tried different formulas to find one that would taste similar until I could get enough pumped milk stored. I worked overnight shift in ER and whenever crying babies came in….let us just say wardrobe change

    We should all rejoice that every once in a while ABL’s evil twin Silly Black Lady shows up.

    A kitchen scale, $25, a hearty laugh, priceless.
