Your Tuesday Night Open Thread

Johnny “Hasn’t Screwed Up In 7+ Days, Let’s Give Him A Chance” Manziel gets the start against the Niners! There’s your footed-ball news. Tonight there’s some other sports on just like there usually is. In the icy business the Wings/Caps looks like a good one and the Blues, Stars and Sens are also lacing up. In the NBA the fun and undefeated Warriors look to keep on rolling against the Pacers. The Jimmy V. Classic has the #14 West Virginny Track Pants up against UVA. The Huggins force turnovers like bananas and the Younger Cavs don’t. I’m intrigued. Later on 7-1 Maryland plays 5-2 UConn. There’s also a battle going on in The America’s most embarrassing state, Florida! The 6-1 Gators meet 7-1 The U. Unless you count a guy in a wife beater spitting terbaccy joose into an empty Bud Lite can, there is no NASCAR this evening. ENJOY!

It’s now Wednesday morning. MAY I STILL STAND HERE?

Brick Meathook

Well I guess I’m two hours late:

Belay that: FOUR HOURS LATE

Maybe late, but you came bearing gifts and that’s what counts.

Wait; are ‘skate boarders’ just tenants who just try to avoid paying the rent?

“Let’s go to the strip club.” they said. “I know of one with no cover charge.” he said.

Science Schmience. Let’s just assume Jesus did it and move on.

It’s called a “Tokyo sunrise.”

I made a tissue-ghost/voodoo doll with the name of a poorly engineered database written on it a while ago. I had occasion to play hackysack with it today. It’s good that I spent some time teaching, because when I go “HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT!?” to myself, I know that in the context of the people who built that shit, the answer is “HUH?”

WCS

UVA flips the script on WVU in the second half, rallying from a 13-point deficit to win, 70-54.

WVU just couldn’t hit the sun from Mercury in the second, and sort of came unglued. These are the signs of a young team, which they very much are. UVA, on the other hand, is a talented and experienced squad.

Huggs might have a couple of guys walk back to Morganhole after this. Oh, well. Honestly, they needed to be humbled a bit. They’re not the 14th ranked team in the country. They benefited from starting 7-0, and other schools losing in front of them.

Done grading for one class, but it’s too late to get my drank on. Gotta get up early and write a final exam study guide for my other class. Or get up slightly early and just copy the one from last year…

WCS

The latter has been the WCS way for three years!

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Drunken exams are the best exams!

I regret that stunt where I heated up some Lagunitas Brown Shugga so much. It’s temporarily (I hope) ruined the beer for me. All I can taste is the flavors that got brought out by heating it up, and it’s awful.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

YOU DID WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???

The Ice Cowboys are just an absolute hoc-kee riot on ice. So fun to watch.

I didn’t catch much of ‘Legit’ first run but Netflix’d it and enjoyed hella much.

He is now one of my favorites.

I was kind of surprised when it got cancelled. It was hit or miss at times, but it was a pretty good show. And it’s not like FX ever pulls the plug on a show prematurely, right Donal Logue?

No matter what else he may end up starring in, to me that guy will always be “Hey, that’s the other guy from Terriers.”

MikeWallaceAndGromit

The Pacers score 60 points on the Warriors in the first half…and are down 19.

King Hippo

oh shit, that Bills 30 for 30 is gonna feature Berman. Enthusiam tempered.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, did you guys hear that UPROXX is hiring???

Sill Bimmons

Place is a sterile fucking wasteland.

Hope that was their goal.

Haven’t been back since I saw the post about these here premises.

Fuxxx ’em.

JerBear50

Haven’t been on since the Ape-ocalypse. By that time I think I was already spending more time over here than I was there, or at least whatever version of “here” was at that time. I think it was something like FuckJohnnySugarWithASidewaysCrescentWrench.com.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
JerBear50

I was under the impression that once things settles that Trevor and maybe one or two others would end up over here. Anyone keep up with any of them?

Sill Bimmons

No money, no Trevour.

Senor Weaselo

I thought it wasn’t to write but just to shouw up.

JerBear50

Yeah, that’s what I thought too. Maybe not as writers, but as leeching malcontents like the rest of us.

Old School Zero

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings AS WELL AS Trombone Shorty are playing in Portland this April IN THE SAME CONCERT!

Got DAMN I gotta get tickets to that.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Are, uh, are those bands?

Old School Zero

Yes and they probably haven’t been optioned to have their songs appear in any video games yet, unfortunately.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Heyyyyyyyy…

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Maybe they are base-ball players?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Recommended by NSZ; they are cool in his time.

JerBear50

I didn’t realize they’d allow that many black people into Portland at one time. I thought it was like a Walking Dead situation where it’s one comes in, one goes out kind of thing.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

My god the Warriors are ruthless. 44-28 at the end of the 1st quarter.

Sill Bimmons

Why do we still use the word “ruthless?”

When you’re a pansy nobody calls you “ruthful.”

It’s just like “disgruntled.”

When you’re happy nobody calls you “gruntled.”

I am frightened of words that have no opposite cognate.

Lothar of the Hill People

There actually is a word “gruntled.”

grun·tled
ˈɡrən(t)ld/
adjective humorous
pleased, satisfied, and contented.

You just never hear it because of all the postal workers who are not, in fact, gruntled.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Lothar of the Hill People

And there is a “ruth” that people often, lack:

ruth
ro͞oTH/
noun archaic
noun: ruth
a feeling of pity, distress, or grief.
Origin: Middle English: from the verb rue1, probably influenced by Old Norse hrygth .

Sill Bimmons

I am aware that both of those words exist.

It’s the fact that they’re never used that causes me concern.

Lothar of the Hill People

I use “gruntled” quite frequently.

OK, a few times since I found out it was really a word.

Now that I’ve learned “ruth” is a bona fide term, I’m gonna sneak it into conversations with my kids.

entropy

Yeah, “ravel” and “unravel” BOTH MEAN THE SAME THING. That worries me more than the lack of ruth or gruntled.

Beerguyrob

Why is there not more use of “whelmed”? There’s over- and under- , but the actual word is far more interesting than “meh”.

Lothar of the Hill People

I remember there was a magic hammer named “Whelm” in the White Plume Mountain D&D module.

King Hippo

Also very grateful that NC State is taking the week off for exams!

King Hippo

NOBODY roots for Other Tony Bennett. I mean, just LOOK at that asshole. Then look at the King of Track Suits.

You know in your heart what is right and good.

Huggy Bear vs. Other Tony Bennett in Madison Square Garden
C’mon, ya fuckshits. Yinz (or should I type “Ya’ll”?) are all Mountaineers tonight! First time since Cousindiddlers and the Disciples of Jefferson have played a basketball game since 1985. That just isn’t right. I wish I was in Charlottesville for this one. 77-71 WVU.

Also, here’s another edition of “That’s So Florida!”

After witnessing what the Huggins’ did to my Aztecs, I hope they do that to everyone. I think the Aztecs are still trying to in bound the ball.

WCS

You’ve got a shiny, new Mountain West Conference football championship to compensate. Rocky Long is one of the greatest unknown football coaches in the country.

sunrisesunrise

Rocky Long is great. I’m glad to have him and his ridiculous defense here in SD but based on the fans around here you wouldn’t believe that to be true. I really hope he can beat Cincy in Hawaii. It’d be a nice cherry on top after the shitty start to the season.

Also, that would be a big NOAP on the Diddlers.

The only way I pull for the Diddlers is if they’re playing the Molesters.

JerBear50

Had one happen like that a couple years ago in my neck of the woods too, only the guy didn’t die.
