DFO Late Night / International Open Thread

Since nothing has been up since 3:00 PM Pacific, I’m putting the late night thread up a little early and ribbed for your commenting pleasure.

So, what’s happened in the last 24 hours?

Well, we were reminded yet again of how the Patriots are cheating cheaters that cheat until they can’t cheat no more and then they continue to cheat and say “What? Me cheat?  You must be joking!”.   As a Steeler fan, I am self-aware enough to know that we did not capitalize on all our opportunities and that Scobie is lucky to still be alive let alone have a job.  It is seriously getting fucking old, though, that every fucking time a team goes to New England, weird shit happens.  To quote Ian Fleming,

Goldfinger said, ‘Mr. Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time it’s enemy action.”‘

On a brighter note, the AFL Finals got started early this morning with the West Coast Eagles (#2 seed) hosting the Hawthorn Hawks (#3 seed) in the Second Qualifying Final.  The Eagles won easily by 32 and availed themselves of a week’s rest in the form of a bye next week.  Hawthorn is not eliminated yet and awaits the winner of the Western Bulldogs-Adelaide Crows match which will start at 2:20 AM Pacific tonight.  What a perfect lead-in to Premier League football and King Hippo’s post!   Earlier tonight (around 10:20 PM Pacific, the #1 seed Fremantle Dockers host the #4 Sydney Swans in the First Qualifying Final.  The winner, again, gets a bye next week and the loser faces the winner of the Richmond Tigers-North Melbourne Kangaroos match to be held late Saturday night Pacific time.

Since we already had a Sexy Friday post, I won’t post any pics.

Ok, fine.  Here are a couple to get us started.  Tonight’s theme:  Sexy Halloween costumes.

Halloween is coming, y’all!  You better get ready.  Best Halloween costume story in the comments gets a special prize.  And no, you can’t rub the lamp.
