Acoustic version. Maybe even better. They apparently opened for Glass Animals over the summer, which is a show I wish I had seen.

King Hippo

Spaniard lady rockers. Their album is titled “Leave me Alone” <3 <3

Senor Weaselo

I gotta say, the Basketball Niners/Raiders are pretty good.

WCS

Dad?!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Damn it, that joke gets me every time.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is it Thanksgiving yet?

I didn’t mean to mislead on my last post. Dying dad and dog. It is this house.

ballsofsteelandfury

Shit, man, sorry to hear that. Hope things get better.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I will place the blame on me for killing myself, but my pups and dad dying early too kinda places the blame on where we live. Dog almost died again for no reason other than he might have seizures, didn’t even have anything close to a seizure this time

Chicks in bands, so Chrissie Hynde “Tattooed Love Boys”

“I shot my mouth off and you showed me what that hole was for”
They just don’t write lyrics like that any more.

Horatio Cornblower

Just discovered this band tonight on the local college kids’ station. These kids can stay on my lawn.

The Dum Dum Girls, “Caught in One”

INSIDE DOPE: That credit card commercial that takes place in an airport wasn’t shot in an airport at all. It was shot in the lobby of the L.A. Convention Center. It’s the standard location for commercials that take place in airports. THAT’S INCREDIBLE

blaxabbath

I really gotta go visit TINSEL TOWN

Brick Meathook

TELL ‘EM BRICK SENT YOU AND GET THE A-LIST TREATMENT

ballsofsteelandfury

Beers on us if you do.

WCS

WHAT A COUNTRY

ballsofsteelandfury

SOMEBODY went to the Auto Show!

Brick Meathook

I haven’t been to the Auto Show this year! But I’ve been to the Convention Center for so many events I can spot that lobby in a Los Angeles minute! (LA minute = five regular minutes)

ballsofsteelandfury

I just dropped my buddy off there. I was on site at 5:30 AM and worked until 5. I just couldn’t hang.

Lothar of the Hill People

I made the mistake of visiting a Chicago Bears blog and reading the comments. The football-related comments weren’t a problem, but once they started going on about the 17 year-old who was murdered by a Chicago cop, I had to quit reading. 16 shots in 14 seconds; the cop was on-scene for 30 seconds before the first shot. These jagoffs were saying it was the kid’s fault he was shot, and the cop was defending himself against an armed man jacked up on PCP.

Yeah, I just need to stop visiting that blog.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m generally not a big fan of police but quite honestly if you’re walking down the street with knife and whacked out of your gourd I’m angel dust I’m not gonna be too upset if a cop takes you out of the gene pool.

Man I really wish Tom Brady would grab some PCP and a hunting knife and go out for a walk.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Watch the video, Horatio, and see if you still feel the same way.

Besides, have you ever – intentionally or unintentionally – drank too much or taken too many drugs? It doesn’t warrant a public execution.

Lothar of the Hill People

I don’t want to start an argument, but here’s the big problem (in my opinion): the cop shot the guy less than a minute after he arrived on-scene. He had no time to determine if the guy was hopped up on drugs, mentally ill, or just acting out a play. He shot first, asked questions after he emptied his magazine.

Lothar of the Hill People

And it was a folding knife with a 3 inch blade, and he never was closer than 10 feet to the cop.

My best friend is a cop; I understand it’s a hard job, split-second decisions, etc., etc. But these circumstances don’t warrant pumping a kid full of bullets, and only stopping when your magazine is empty, you pause to reload, and your partner wants to check to see if the guy’s even still alive.

“I kind of like everything. I kind of like all foods. I have no answer for you. I like all foods. I’m sorry.”

Apparently Guinness is making a nitrogen-can IPA now:

Horatio Cornblower

Stop it Guinness. You achieved perfection with your stout. There is no need for you to prove anything else. Just make the stout and stop wasting water on anything else.

nomonkeyfun

Thank you. There only a few companies that should stop with their basic product. Guiness is good for you is at the head of that list. The only research they should do is making sure their beer gets to the US,, NZ, and Australia, in as enjoyable manner as possible.

And the widget is the greatest small invention I’ve ever come across.

I know DFO’ers love their craf beers but there is nothing better than apint.

Senor Weaselo

Hey, Guinness Blonde did get me my first kiss with any real intent on it… okay, going back and forth with a bottle of champagne didn’t hurt. But still!

King Hippo

It’s like being in one of those long lines at the bank. Before you know it…you’re next at the teller window.

WCS

In the NCAA Tournament last spring, WVU played (and beat) Hurley’s former team, the Buffalo Bulls. Two days before the game, he swore up and down he wasn’t leaving for another job.

nomonkeyfun

So he’s like every other college coach. Good to hear.

It could be worse. You could be a Rutgers fan, like me.

Thank God for the angry once a month team. /MRA’ed.

WCS

SCHIANO MEN don’t “get” mad, they were BORN mad.

nomonkeyfun

Oh God I’d forgotten he was the coach, and not the worst human being to be in charge of the JV Footy team in the last ten years. I was thinking about Vivian Stringer and the “nappy headed hoes”

But Holy Shit when Schiano got the Knights to a bowl their most recent appearance was only preserved as a black and white video from 1978.

blaxabbath

I go to the annual UA at ASU game (which has sucked the last couple years on account of UA getting upset) and am always looking for entertaining anti-Hurley shirt ideas….

nomonkeyfun

Either have you got a seat belt or you’re from Jersey City should work.

ballsofsteelandfury

I used to hate that little fucker with the intensity of a thousand suns.

King Hippo

I also think I’m going full maniac in fantasy. I’m 5-6, so what the fuck. Just got Josh McNown off waivers, and do I really want to start Rodgers (less than 50% completion percentage last week, shit for the last month really) in a cold weather game, or Carr against a good pass defense after he shat himself against the fucking Lions…when I could start the guy looking to make a statement against maybe the league’s worstest pass defense??

Hey, he lit them up for 450+ in their first matchup…

Lothar of the Hill People

Start Rodgers. Your mojo will guarantee Shea McClellin breaks Rodgers’ collarbone again.

entropy

Like Hippo, I ducked out of last night’s game early and watched Fargo. Afterward, I wisely decided NOT to return to the referees complete and utter fuckening of the Bills and instead got to use that as this morning’s Two Minutes Hate, which is more powerful than coffee for waking me up.

Fucking hell, this is some bullshit.

And now it’s Tuesday, and most of tonight’s sports are Not Fun for me. What’s a man to do?

King Hippo

DRUGS!

Horatio Cornblower

I’m gonna put on Fargo in a bit. Watched last week’s episode last night. Things are not looking good for the Gerharts.

King Hippo

Mike Milligan certainly embraces the “crisitunity” concept.

King Hippo

YAY! Always glad for new wolven songs.

entropy

I once made a playlist of every song in my library that contained a woman’s name in the song title. It was over four and a half hours long, and I named it, “Chicks, man. Chicks.”

My girlfriend at the time did not find it as funny as I did.

Anyway, after that intro, I should add something relevant, so here’s “A Wolf in Geek’s Clothing,” by The Naked and Famous (the most boring band I ever saw live):

NC State basketball is POOP. Just in case you were wondering, which you weren’t. Poop sandwich on toasted poopernickel, with warm poop drizzle on top.

I watched last night’s Fargo instead, but it ended in time for me to watch the Pack herp and derp away the last 45 seconds.

Did learn what happens when the FOUL was before the shot clock went off (but the shot hadn’t left hand), and he WAS in the act of shooting. The answer is…it WIPES OFF bucket AND foul. JEEBUS what a DUMB F-CKING RULE.

King Hippo

eh, they lost to Marquette last night (who won, what, 9 games last year?) so they likely just poop too

theeWeeBabySeamus

I shoulda come here. Instead I had to go and try and be all moderator-y on a site I don’t even like very much anymore.

But….Yay, we took third place in a low rent holiday tourney!!!

Lothar of the Hill People

My daughter doesn’t have school tomorrow (WTF? 3-day Thanksgiving holiday? Why, when I was a kid…), and I was thinking of taking her swimming at the fitness club pool and then to a matinee of The Good Dinosaur. Now I know where we’ll go for lunch between. I’m sure I’ll get Dad Points for the crappy fried food.

nomonkeyfun

That’s what Dads are for. To provide things their Mother’s wouldn’t aprrove of.

Let her eat as much BK as she wants, this way when she is 15 and dating a totally inappropriate boy she might listen to you.

No matter what Mrs. Lothar does she’ll be driven to do the opposite.

Daughters are wonderful, but terrifying.

/Speaking as an older brother.

nomonkeyfun

If she shows an interest PK throw her back into the pool. You don’t need that shit.

WCS

Sure, “hobos.” Right.

Lothar of the Hill People

Hobo toilet seats, MAYBE.

King Hippo

talk about a win/win, for you and the lucky hobo!
