Your Thursday Night Open Post

So we’re 14 days into 2016 and I have an uncomfortable question to ask…how are your New Year’s resolutions coming along? First things first, if yer gonna tell me that, “I don’t do resolutions because [some variation of ‘that’s lame’/’it’s an arbitrary day’/’real change comes from within when you’re ready for it’] well, just because”, don’t waste your precious energy. I’ve managed to cut down my drinking by a solid 15% so you should be shorting InBev and the rest of booze stocks you have in your portfolio. Treadmill-oriented self-abuse has definitely increased from ‘virtually nil’ to ‘more than nil’, so I’m kinda proud of that. Increased consumption of fruits and veggies-not so much fruit but raw sugar snap peas and baby carrots have enjoyed a renaissance in the scotchnaut household. I give myself a “B” for now, knowing that it may go all to shit very quickly.

The Raptors beat the Magic in OT in London? I had no idea there was a game there. Way to market the game to someone who barely cares about the NBA, NBA! There are no other games that matter in this league other than Cavs/Spurs this evening. The other teams are just wasting their time. In a similar vein, the Rangers/Isles and Hawks/Habs games in the NHL are the only eye-grabbers available. College ball features #16 Iowa/#4 MSU and #20 Pitt/#21 Louisville. GET TO IT DOWN BELOW!

I just tuned in to the debate. Holy shit. I apparently live in a different country than these people do.

WCS

Damn straight. They live in REEL MURICKA while you in the Democratic Socialist Republik of California, you damn commie bastard.

JerBear50

guh. Even as an agnostic that movie weirds me the fuck out.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

When I first saw I laughed my ass off, but I was trippin’ and atheist. I mean the lines and the spitting of split pea soup still make me laugh. But yeah, I don’t think it was intended to provoke that reaction.

The thing I liked; I bought the Tubular Bells album before the movie came out and still like it.

laserguru

Yep. I play it every Halloween.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I think I get the message these guys are trying to get across…. time to watch something on the DVR.

Ain’t that the motherfucking truth!

God damn Chris Christie could have blocked 3 lanes of the bridge just by sitting down in them.

ohoh, everyone just cheered. what happened

WCS

Someone said Obama is literally the son of Satan.

Hmmm. Well, not my first casting choice, but Marvel and Disney know what they’re doing I guess.

For those of you caught up in the political machinations…
‘Ville and Pitt are caught up an offensive juggernaut of a contest.
20-17 heading to the half.

Politics might be the lesser evil all of a sudden.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Forgot to make it clear….that is basketball.

This movie is making me support the hostage taking terrorist. I am not comfortable with that.

You watching Die Hard?

I know they’re a middle of the road team right now, but, watching the Vancouver Canucks play is really amusing. Every game they will commit an insane amount of errors and turnovers in their own end to make things exciting.

I’m starting to think Matt Bartowski and Chris Conte switched bodies with how horrendous he has been tonight.

Ah, there’s our presumptive nominee for the 2020 election.

Debates bore me.
I’d much prefer randomness in gif format….

So I guess that is a no on anal?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Probably depends on the stability of his shields.
I’d proceed with caution…your mileage may vary.

Redshirt

Don’t say that. Remember Rule 34.

JustStopDude

Trump getting boos! SHIT IS GETTING REAL!!!

JustStopDude

Oh snap…Cruz is attacking Trump because his momma is Scottish.

Bringing in the mamas!!!!

Redshirt

Cruz is trying to pull a Reagan.

Redshirt

I miss the 1700s. In that time, this question would end with Trump and Cruz having a duel on live TV.

JerBear50

And their ideas would still be considered regressive.

JustStopDude

New York Times…apparently I have to read it more seeing as they managed to describe Ted Cruz better than I ever could…

I also love how any investigative journalism now is a hit piece that should be ignored on the word of candidates.

WCS

GOTCHA JOURNALIZM

Redshirt

Uh oh. Trump just made sense. He logically explained his point from a Conservative perspective without repeating bullet points.

HE’S BECOME POLITICALLY SELF AWARE!!!! RUN!!!!

JustStopDude

Hey Dr Ben Carson is…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

JustStopDude

Debate riddle…how does one launch a cyber attack…at the same time as launching an EMP?

Wouldn’t that be…kind of impossible?

theeWeeBabySeamus

As with everything, timing is everything.
And sometimes also pointless.

Redshirt

Nuke ’em?

JustStopDude

You know the weirdest thing about the GOP debates…Trump isn’t the scariest up there.

I mean with Trump, its obvious that he is over the top bullshitting people. Folks like Rubio…fucking make me nervous.

Redshirt

14 minutes and Trump hasn’t been asked a question. How long until Trump goes on profanity laden rant?

WCS

President Ted Cruz is the sixth sign of the Apocalypse.

WCS

Reply fail.

Meant for one up.

Redshirt

No problem. It has to be spoken often. He’s worse than Trump.

Redshirt

So Ted Cruz would go to war if a American soldier is forced to apologize to a foreign nation for accidentally violating its established international waters? Huh.

JustStopDude

I’m waiting for the gradual turn by conservatives against the sailors for not going out suicide Gen Custer style against the Iranians.

WCS

A commenter on TownHall said he would have ordered his men to do exactly that. Said commentor mentioned he was in the Army, and that’s what a real patriot would do.

Solid strategy.

JustStopDude

That Ohio guy is still running. I am surprised he has not dropped to the JV debates yet.

And for the life of me, I want to know what Christi’s campaign managers actually think his chances are. I mean how is he suppose to take the south?

Redshirt

I’m an Ohioan and I’m surprised too.

JustStopDude

Every time I see and hear Ted Cruz talk…I think of rape.

Like a really uncomfortable and graphic rape scene in a movie…like in “8mm”.

He is promising to bomb everyone in his opening answer.

JustStopDude

So am I the only one abusing myself by watching this mess of a debate?

Big pop for Cruz and Rubio during the introductions.

Jeb Bush appears to be a lot more animated this go around…

WCS

I don’t get the channel, not that I’d be watching it, regardless.

JustStopDude

I’m streaming it.

Because I am a masochist…

Fek’s boys just ran train on MSU in East Lansing.

I’m holding out hopes for a better 2016.

Project Manager: “Could we not use the word ‘project’ in this email?”
I supply 4 different words.
Project Manager: “Let’s just drop the word project.”
Me: “That makes no sense.”
Project Manager: “But it’s not a project.”
Me: “Great idea!”

I know project managers are good people, with families and they probably do nice stuff for their neighbors – but I want to slow roast every last one and throw them to packs of rabid hyenas.

ballsofsteelandfury

Did you tell the project manager that word was in his title and, if it’s not a project, he or she shouldn’t be giving you direction?

jjfozz

I originally fought these guys on a variety of subjects – if it didn’t fit into their small little check box, it didn’t matter. Got frustrated, showed it in my bad attitude, they got together and worked against me.

I decided, fuck it, they want to direct things they know nothing about, no skin off my ass.

I’m a contractor, so in the end, it’s their call. Even if their call is narrow minded, obtuse, and completely incorrect.

ballsofsteelandfury

You get paid either way so fuck it.

JustStopDude

Since I am getting sent to Japan, I am suppose to be compensated for my travel time. The Project manager doesn’t want to pay me the 50 or so hours of travel time to his project. I get that.

So he tells me to take compensatory time…

Yeah I’m sure my boss is going to be kosher with me just taking an 8 day vacation over two weeks.

ballsofsteelandfury

Fuck that shit!

If anything, charge it to Overhead, but why the Fuck would you volunteer to do fucking work? The nerve of some fucking people.

JustStopDude

I wouldn’t mind the compensatory time…if I knew I could get it. The thing is…I’m never going to be able to schedule it.

I get 35 days of vacation a year and I routinely end up not taking it all because I get distracted with work. With my hours with travel…I would literally work like 10-20 hours a week through the year.

I can’t drink THAT much…

jjfozz

My favorite interaction:
PM – “Did you confirm that the email was sent out?”
Me: “Yes. Because I sent it out.”
PM: “Oh. Can you forward me what you sent?”
Me: “You mean the email you signed off on and then sent to me to send out?”
PM: “Yes. It’s for my records.”

I took a two hour lunch that day, came back to the office, and then left early.

Time to hatewatch the next to final ever episode of Heroes. Back in a bit.

Anyone else listening to WIP? Caller just said he’s “done with the Eagles” and he’s adopting the Steelers as his team.

My Yinzer buddy has been trolling Eagles fans for years to do this very thing, usually with some sort of “come have a taste of winning, you might like it,” so he will love this.

In keeping with the “Holy shit read this article” theme…

A man in Russia is wanted for stealing and selling 30 miles of a highway.

http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/01/13/its-apparently-easy-to-steal-entire-highways-in-russia/?utm_content=buffer353a0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

That is fucking impressive.

entropy

The bigger shock to me is that 30 miles of highway in Russia only costs $80 grand.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s actually not a shock to me.

Holy shit, this article tries to place the first Super Bowl tapes on the same level as the moon landing:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000622357/article/the-mystery-of-the-super-bowl-i-tapes

Fucking hell, NFL. Get over yourselves.

JustStopDude

I got a wonderful sister in law…that the only issue I have with her…is that she believes that there was something “funny” about the Apollo missions.

We both have learned never to bring this up around each other.

entropy

I won’t even allow that kind of talk around me. Those fucking guys were balls out madmen, and some of the smartest fuckers to walk this Earth. Multiple degrees and doctorates for most of them, and they all decided to just strap in above tons of explosive material and go to the goddamn moon.

I love the video of Buzz Aldrin decking that asshole who questioned the reality of the moon landings.

JustStopDude

They didn’t have a toilet. They had a hose for urine and if you had to shit…well basically it was a clear plastic bag with tape on it to attach to their ass. Then when they were done, they had to reach behind and break it off…since no gravity. Hence why NASA put them on ultra low fiber diets to limit the amount of pooping during the mission as they had to spend the rest of the trip effectively breathing in each other’s shit.

We have that poop still.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

There was. Aldrin put a stink bomb in Armstrong’s space suit. How the boys in Houston laughed…

Beerguyrob

The last funny thing was when Buzz Aldrin smacked that denier on tape.

JustStopDude

Why is Mike Huckabee, Santorum, and Carly Firoino still wasting money by running?

WCS

Delusion is an amazing thing.

entropy

They don’t get to keep the money, and they only found that out when they tried to quit?

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Huckabee: sell books and try to convince Jeeezus to forgive him for murdering those prostitutes.

Fiorino: Because the Republicans have a long history of electing previous losers (Nixon, Reagan, Old Bush)

Santorum: because he legitimately has no connection with anything resembling reality.

jjfozz

St. Louis Rams beat reporter on Baltimore sports talk radio said Kroenke a worse owner than Irsay.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Old Irsay or Rock ‘n Roll Clown Irsay?

JustStopDude

I remember hearing a story how Junior was sent in the middle of the night out to LA, because the dad wanted him there in the morning for a meeting about a potential move from Baltimore. So he gets there…and there isn’t a single person there.

So he spends like three hours trying to get a hold of his old man who is trying to sleep off yet another bender. He finally gets him on the phone and dear old dad cusses him out for being there.

The son then had to catch a bus back on his own dime. I kind of understand why junior is a druggie now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

JIM IRSAY: In terms of what, drugs? I declare a drug-off!

BEAT REPORTER: No, I meant in general temperament.

JIM IRSAY: Well let’s have a drug-off anyway!

Irsay is like the Bender of NFL owners, if Bender sucked and was no fun at all.

JustStopDude

Was that WNST?

Does Nestor still broadcast from his mother’s basement?

jjfozz

105.7 The fan

Nestor carpet bombed his own business, fire everyone and is now running a one man show out of his apartment in Baltimore.

It is horrible, every one of his guests sounds like he’s talking through a Habitrail attached to a cell phone from 1997.

His callers are about as bright as a kitchen sponge.

WCS

Ah, and now we’re into full WIP Meltdown! Just had a caller say the Iggles should have and could have gotten Bruce Arians.

litre_cola

Doug Pederson? Are you fucking serious. Good lord, he was such a capable qb for the Iggles. How could this go wrong? I think that the Detmer brothers are waiting for a phone call for a job. I am glad they didn’t hire old man winter, and that the Chipper is gone but there had to be someone better out there. Alex Smith’s offense in KC is all I need to know. How long was that drought for WR receivers.
Next move is to sign Bradford for a huge guaranteed contract.

laserguru

I originally read that as Dahmer Brothers.

Still may be an improvement.

jjfozz

They owned this great butcher shop . . .

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I think Chip is going to beat the Iggles in the Great 2016 Bradford Sweepstakes.

God i hope so

I think Huckabee wants to send me back to Iraq to kill again.

Really struggling not to give up the New Years Resolution ban on controlled substances…

WCS

I believe that he genuinely believes we need another four or five Crusades.

entropy

Don’t most of the Republican folks?

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I think most of them don’t even think about it, or if they do, they just want us to get on with rebuilding the Temple so they can get Raptured.

JustStopDude

Dear God…Fox News Business channel is trying to turn the two boats getting stuck in Iranian waters into a Gulf of Tonkin incident.

When did Lou Dobbs become fucking insane?

WCS

Looks like I went and created another #THREADGHAZI.

So this JV GOP debate is funny…

Eagles hired Doug Pederson. Oh, the wailing will be legendary in Philly.
