Happy Birthday Rivebrog

ballsofsteelandfury

Woooooooooooo!

To commemorate our nation’s birthday, I’ve created this post as a rivebrog/open thread for today’s Copa America final between host Chile and Argentina (1 pm Pacific) and the B.C. Lions-Ottawa RedBlacks tilt in Canada (3 pm Pacific).

Also, some internal business:  The Los Angeles area based kommenters are getting together next Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 2 PM Pacific at Father’s Office in Culver City.  Right?  Just checking to make sure I’m not the only one there.  Obviously, everyone is invited in case you wanted to fly in.

Drunken tirades about family members, former lovers, current lovers, work people, and the intersection of all four go here:

Plus Moose gifs.

Important: There are two lumberjacks chainsawing a piece out of a log every time the Ottawa Redblacks score.

Wish me luck! I have had a week that is horrible (but not Cornblower-bad) and it has yet to get much better but I am sneaking away to go and catch a show, something I haven’t done since Tripping Daisy played in Austin 15 years ago. Here’s to hoping the agoraphobia let’s me get at least as far as the door!

Wooooo! Good luck! Hope it’s a good show.

A couple of months back I started adding in some wine to the diet. It saves me a shitload of beers.

This has been my jam so far. I’m just getting started but this is a the leader in the club house.

The Roberto Duran “No Mas” 30 for 30 is on ESPN2. That is a pretty good way to pass the time if you, like me, are sadly without CFL coverage.

I’m watching it on the Watch ESPN app. You should be able to get it for free.

So, with the “like” button, you can go back and switch it to “unlike”; would that be if you had remorse or regret for liking something, or you became mad at the commenter, perhaps it was something you feel guilty for laughing at? Only you know in your heart the unlike.

Watched the Yankee game, got to the gym for a quick workout to lessen the guilt of morning beer. Now back at the house to grill hot dogs and hamburgers, (because ‘Merica!), then get downstairs and show the remaining Lagunitas how we handle beer here in ‘Merica!

My gym was closed today dammit but I did make it through the 4 1/2 mile Grand Hill challenge in about 56 minutes. My local boys at the El Segundo Brewing Company actually named one of their IPAs after Grand Hill. If you look closely at the label you can see people struggling up it.

Nice PKs by Chile. Overall, it’s nice that they won because this is probably the best group of Chilean players in decades. The so-called golden generation, if you will. Good that they actually won something.

Chile has 5 minutes to win this. Otherwise, we’re going to penalties.

That COULD have been a PK, but the ref wanted to get out of Chile alive.

0
King Hippo

I mean, dude COULD have kids, or like, an elderly mother to consider, too.

Hell of a last minute there. Gonna have to run handle some chauffeur duty in 15 minutes, and am right pissed off about it. DVR is set, but still…

I understand maybe 1 out of 10 words this Scotsman says. Think I would do better with the regular Latin American feed and my vestigial two years of high school espanol.

Ray Hudson? Yeah, he’s hilarious but who knows what he’s saying half the time.

0
ballsofsteelandfury

I think the only way this ref in the Chile-Argentina game gives a card is if blood is flowing.

It would both suck and be awesome if this goes to penalties.

0

Yes, a mixed blessing indeed.

Hee hee, Chile just brought on a guy nicknamed “Snowball.” That can’t be good.

At 2:32 PDT on the 4th of July in the year of our lord 2015 the first beer has been cracked open and the grill has been lit.
Cheers!

Holy shit that is frosty cold and delicious.

I was a real American and just finished grilling Bavarian bratwurst for lunch. Plus some grilled green onions and grilled pineapple.

What I’m saying is I’m using the grill this weekend. A LOT.

This morning, my wife and I finished demolishing our kitchen to save a bit of time and money on our remodel. I woke up to throw a pork shoulder (that’s been marinating for two days) in the crockpot for pulled pork this afternoon. I have the suace for said pulled pork currently simmering. And will be lounging in the pool with my wife and daughter soon enough.

About to head to a bbq where the lady friend and I will be among the very few sans babies. Totally ok with that since she’s young and we’ll be able to sleep through the night without anyone screaming other than me. Less ok with the fact that it would appear Pam Poovey and I wear the same size Uncle Sam costume.

It’s too damn hot out for grilling (it’s noon and already 80 degrees; stated high of 96), but I just made some delicious shoulder bacon BLTs for me and the girlfriend (toasted just the inside of the bread in the bacon fat, like a boss). We’re going to go see Magic Mike XXL with another couple later on, because nothing is more American than Channing Tatum’s abs (and Kevin Nash’s busted knees). Oh, and Ginuwine’s ‘Pony’ is like our second national anthem, right? Also, a big, dark air conditioned space sounds awesome. Anyhow, I’m going to post about it tomorrow.

Nobody blow themselves up. Looking at you, Vontaze–Kentucky don’t fuck around when it comes to blowing shit up.

My wife saw Magic Mike with the girls.

It was a good night. I therefore give that movie two thumbs up, without seeing it.

Going to be a real American today and grill some burgers, dogs and corn on the cob.
First order of business is the morning walk. Today I’m going west on Imperial Highway heading south along Vista Del Mar to El Porto then climbing that bastard of a hill on Grand before heading to Main Street and back home. It’s about 4 and 1/2 miles with a “difficult” rating.
Then we gon drank. Bullee dat!

So wow, it looks like three of us dropped posts at almost exactly the same time. I’ve deleted mine (it was very short) but basically my plan for today is to do some gardening and then do some grilling. And them some drinking.

And we’re off in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest!!! It’s so disgusting I can’t look away. I heard Chestnut lost, which I guess means something to people who care about other people stuffing meat made of goat lips and assholes into their gaping maws.

I’m disappointed I missed this. First one in five years that was worth watching, from the sound of it.
