On a super lousy shitty type day there was some quality distractification going on in last night’s open thread. My thanks to all those who took part. It was badly needed. Hey!-speaking of distractification…
GB @ Det: Here be two teams struggling in their own respective ways to get to 8-8. Neither will get there. Rodgers has done the gentle call-out to his receivers, saying “We’re not on the same page”. Apparently the Packers WR’s are on page 634 of Infinite Jest and Aaron is perusing GQ “for the articles!”. Over the last three games QB Stafford has been playing like a guy that was drafted really high and is expected to lift an entire franchise out of the doldrums. His new “No more gravyshakes/whipped chocolate pizza/slaughterhouse tasting menu/raw dough and Miracle Whip smoothie/post-game athletic cup tequila shooters” diet is starting to pay dividends! If only we fans of the game were capable of such discipline… The new OC The Jim Bob has worked wonders with the rushing game. Did you know that since he grabbed the reins the Lions have averaged 18 more yards per game in that category? I hope you were sitting down when I socked you with that knowledge. Who’d a thunk that was the difference between stinking and winning? Statisticians at ESPN, that’s who.
Whoa, somebody better get Caldwell some oxygen. Did you see how excited he was? He might pass out.

Funny how the Packers are going down like Virgil the Lion
TNF HERP DERP FOREVER
Jim Bob Cooter Lions
GREATEST TEAM OF ALL TIME!
Oh good, Crosby remembered that he sucks.
A DOINKED FIELD GOAL!
This is fun. Tonight is fun.

DOINK!
Things are crazy.
Fuck every one of those “singers” who are going to ruin Sinatra’s tunes.
Every Wednesday night in December, TCM is playing actual Sinatra concerts.
thanks for the tip – I was brought up listening to him in grandparent’s house
I thought Eyeties like you were notified through your DNA whenever the Chairman was available for listening or watching.
The Bronx is up and the Batterys down.
It’s a hell of a town.
/Eyetied and Jerseyed myself.
So Donald Trump pissed off the Jews today. The inevitable full-scale war between the GOP and Trump will be spectacular.
What did he say?
Essentially, Israel is to blame for the Palenstian-Israeli conflict.
In a room full of Jewish folks, no less!
He also referred to them as great negotiators, just like he is.
Wait, I thought the official, incontrovertible position for the GOP, was that Israel can never be wrong, except for the they are’nt Christians thing.
Eddie Lacy’s ball security issues have been a thing of the past ever since the coaches convinced him the football was full of honey.
I can only comment on my phone

So what do you think of it?
So…what DO you think about your phone?
There’s no such thing as too much cilantro Goya.
I’ve resisted the siren song of the expensive scotch.
The cheaper whiskey was more persuasive.
Also, if you can find it in the same price range, try Ardbeg Perpetuum. Possibly my fave at the moment.
The same liquor store I found the Lagavulin in had a bottle of that. I don’t recall the exact price, but I do believe it was higher.
Yeah, I don’t know how to tell you this, but you overpaid for the Lagavulin. You should be able to find it for under $100 (at least pretax). We can get through this together.
If you live in a state where you can have booze shipped, this place has been good for deals: http://www.cpdwineliquor.com
I am finding much better prices for the Lagavulin, but none ship to Illinois.
I probably did. I hadn’t seen it anywhere and it was an impulse purchase.
I liked Aaron Rodgers a lot better when I thought he was straight.
There are bailout calls. And then there’s that.

Why did that one official have tape on his forehead?
Standard Post-Goodell Lobotomy issue
So what the fuck is up with the Packers and how is Olivia Munn responsible for it?
it’s always the woman’s fault.
/MRA’ed
This game is awesome. I repeat. Awesome.
Agreed. You just know a crumble could be in the cards in the 2nd half.

I’m watching “Man’s Best Friend” (the episode that got John K. fired Nick) and holy shit, it is one dark cartoon.
You ever watch “Happy Tree Friends”
?
It’s funny, I’m 25 so I do remember a lot of early 90s Nick, but I never got into Ren and Stimpy. And I think it’s because my mom got suspicious when my father liked it more than I did.
I was more into Family Double Dare and the other game shows as opposed to the cartoons.
There was a recent interview with the Double Dare people. Worth checking out.
Ever read Slimed: A History of Nickelodeon’s Early Age?

Read a year ago, loved it. One kid from Salute Your Shorts is on skid row now, but everyone else seems pretty well-adjusted.
I did! I read a lot of things when I’m “working.” And good for them, some child actors!
And John K. is fucking crazy.
Hey guys
Hey Sill
Haldo!
Yo
I’m more surprised there was a spurious call nullifying the TD.
*not
“Upon further review, that’s not a catch, just to spite Calvin Johnson.”
That’s why I was too scared to write “Megatrondown.”
That is some kinda catch.
Currently regretting picking the Pack minus 3
Holy shit, how are the Lions winning?
How drunk am I?
God damn, Megatron.
Hate him, LOVE the catch. Fuck.
THAT IS A GODDAMN CATCH
They should overturn it just to fuck with him.
“The Calvin Johnson rule? More like the FUCK MEGATRON WITH A RUSTY PITCHFORK RULE!!! HAHAHA”
–Overheard at the pre-game officiating meeting in the world where your overturning happened.
Don’t understand, don’t care, LOVE IT.
Finally. The 100th birthday celebration of Frank Sinatra. It’s about time!
Sinatra was a horrible, horrible person. That’s why I sing “My Way” if people or alcohol force me to karaoke.
Aside from bankrolling the JFK assassination, why would you say that?
It was a more forgiving age in regards to how men treated women. He did not treat women well.
Let he/she among us who has not eaten a fried egg off a prostitute’s chest cast the first stone.
Stafford was as panicked there as if he was about to miss last call at the Taco Bell drive thru.
DISCOUNTDOUBLECEPTION!
FLOATERCEPTION
RODGERSCEPTION
And here I thought the Packers were fondue for a great season.
A horse has an opinion on this game…
https://youtu.be/VRaoHi_xcWk
He’s a Packers fan.
That was the whitest dance in the history of white Matthew Stafford.
Joe Flacco thought that was awfully risqué and Matt Ryan has no idea what this dan-cing thing is.
Give the ball to FAT LACY!!!
Seconded.
Raise your hand if you started Ebron.
**Hand stays firmly below waist**
I started the Green Bay DEF
I did! He’s one of my Flex starters. Woooo Insanity League!
O/U on “huge asshole” thing Golden Tate will do in this game.
Fuck Stafford’s wife while he watches, and not even let him finish wanking it?

I’m totally cool with Golden Tate the Huge Asshole. In my imaginary world he’s my sassy black friend who makes the movie less racist but actually more racist!
Is next week’s game another Color Rush and will we be blind at the end of it?
hey we gets real game next week?
Thursday will fuck it up somehow
New game: Predict the third quarter lead the Lions will blow
I’m saying 20-0
Are the Lions on a power play? Fucking defense is NOWHERE.
That was a hilarious scramble.
I think that’ll sum up this whole thing.
FATMATTSCRAMBLE
GET THAT LARDASS SOME OXYGEN
Fattmattscramble sounds like a delicious Stafford-themed omelet.
Is anyone else about meh on Will Ferrell these days?
That movie looked very disappointing.
I never even reached meh, for him. I just don’t find him funny in any way.
I seem to recall a while ago some commentists hating on luxardo cherries. I need to do a garnish restocking, what were the recommended substitutes?
I don’t recall the luxardo hate, but it is pretty damn easy to make your own spiced/brandied cherries. Also makes your house smell nice.
I was briefly wondering why I dropped Abdullah, then was reminded this was his longest run of the year.
What the fuck is Mark Wahlberg doing making movies he’s supposed to be out there preventing terrorist attacks!
