I have no scientific evidence to back this up, but consistently in my life, bad shit disproportionately happens on Wednesday. I do not make doctor’s appointments, nor take my car to the shop on Wednesdays. I am always uncomfortable when a key basketball or footy match is scheduled for said day. That was the best part about Europa League (European footy’s NIT) – all the games were on Thursday, which is my GOOD LUCK day!
Anyway, that is my 1/16th-assed (h/t OSZ) attempt at an intro for your Wednesday open thread. I am off into the bitter cold to grill meatloaf burgers for my kids. It’s 27 out, and I may get to see flurries! Being North Cakalaky, panic is sure to ensue.
Your better sporting contest include: Nebraska at Sparty (6:30 EST, BTN); Texas at West By God Virginia (7:00, ESPNU); K State at BayBay (8:15, ESPN News); Villanova at Seton Hall (9:00, CBSSN); and Florida State at Louisville (9:00, ESPNU).
NBCSN has an Ice Footbaw doubleheader starting at 8, with 4 teams I know nothing about; and ESPN is showing the NBA if you consider that a sport for some ungodly reason. ESPN2 has Down Under el tenis (the sports unit was SO FUCKING EASY in high school Spanish, eh?) starting at 9, if you want to be all cultured and shit.
I knew I recognized that dude…
Summer School
http://slumberpartymovies.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/chainsawthumbsup.jpg
That’s Courtney Thorne Smith in the background. Hubba hubba.
He was also in Ski School, an underappreciated gem of the genre.
Ski School, man, Ski School!
I like Charlie’s attitude….I don’t get anything that’s happening so I’m gonna drink beer and eat snow.
LMFAO….good for Charlie. He needs the stress relief.
So….how’s Dennis gonna screw this up?
With crack rock.
That would be too much to wish for.
Yay, Tatiana. I applaud thee.
LMAO at Dennis…only when you are clean will you know my power.
Great line…might have to use it.
Scary when Mac and Dee are the voice of reason.

DID YOU CUM IN MY BURRITO????
A pathetic vibe indeed.
Cans 4 rent
Well, I just got hit on by 1.5 women that are older than both my older sisters. It’s a group of 4; two blew a raspberry and the half was enthused until I told her my name.
Alcohol is magic.
It only takes 1, Don T. It only takes 1.
LMAO…I AM the jerkoff who bought the mountain.
Huey Lewis on Always Sunny. That’s incredible.
CHARLIE SAVED THE BEER
Dee, Mac and Dennis ski pretty good for Philly dumbshats.
So….are you dicknuts doing another rivebrog this week?
I like Bring Back Matt, I loathe WordPress or whatever the fuck server it’s on. It makes me change my password every time I close the tab. FUCK THAT.
Hell do it here then…what the fuck else we got to do.
Oooooh….skiing. Yay injuries.

I like to think she has used this with annoying moms at the playground in real life running around with actual Mac an their progeny.
LOL, probably so. The whole “real life couple” thing frankly scares the shit outta me.
I love that the show has them hate each other and being repulsed every time the idea of them hooking up is brought up
To be fair, Mac feels that way about all chicks.
Charlie: “Oh, this is 2006, and you still like chicks.”
Mac: “What do you mean by that?”
Best exchange from last week’s episode.
I missed that line. I think that means I should do a rewatch right now
It’s paraphrased, but really one of the funniest bits from the episode. It’s when Charlie and Mac go to the strip club.

That might be why David Tennant put the mind games on her.
I am going to enjoy watching her kick asshole douchebros in the dick so much in Jennifer Jones that I am saving the binge for (shudder) baseball season.
I’m watching Mythbusters implode a tanker because I missed it on Saturday. Destruction is always a wonderful thing.
hey @JustStopDude when you get to Japan can you try these for me?
Yes, those are chocolate covered French fries. It’s for… research purposes.
Is that white chocolate of (shudder) mayo for the white sauce?
/actually being Japan, I could shudder much worse than mayo, but that’s fucking gross enough…
It’s white chocolate, per the ~cool kids at BuzzFeed~
Then again, it’s Japanese McDonald’s white chocolate.
yes, the imagination can still run wild and free!
Man, Mike Brey looking a little rough on the ND bench. Perhaps he’s going full Tomsula?
That’s numberwang!

I’m considering a pros/cons list of putting in a pool.
Pros….
http://aqu52.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/fantastic-ass.gif
Cons….
Blues v Wings.| Sabers v Avalanche | Wild v Ducks is not a good slate of games. I guess it is a Wednesday in the middle of the season
Times are tough up here. Oil is down, our dollar is garbage , and 0 Canadian Ice football teams would make the playoffs if they started today.
I get home in an hour. At that point, prepare for hockey talk because I just went to the Kings-Stars game last night and it reaffirmed my beliefs that:
1) hockey is the best sport to see live
2) Gary Bettman can DIAF.
WTF IS THIS CHALLENGE SHIT?!?
Fuck the Stars….says the psuedo-Yotes fan.
I always watch the playoffs to cheer for the Ice Stillers (family reasons) and the Canadian teams (so…first round, occasionally one second round series), but looks like I get to skip the entire muthafucka this go round. DIAF indeed.
Pens have a soft spot for me. And ‘Canes of course.
But my real loyalties lie with ‘Yotes and Caps.
I have said number 1 on here multiple times. Also, I am on board even if it is a Kings game
Misread, thought that was on tonight
I would pay several dollars to watch Andy Reid coach an NHL game, draw down the clock, and blow his challenge.
I would pay to see that live.
This may happen soon.
More Aubrey Plaza for the fuck of it
http://api.ning.com/files/hMNECPNor9-nlZK-zPirxN9WDJGpz66BNmvseEfNLPX5Bi*YcpG99syRF3OGnJEu-VhylcODAf0tk6hIYrjUuXn4Noizml69/aubrey.plaza.the.todo.list.gif
She seems…confused.
I think I better lend a hand.
Still don’t get it.
Don’t think I ever will:
http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/aubrey-plaza3-796×1200.jpg
Yeah, still way into that.
She’s quirky more than drop dead.
Quirky is cool.
Kinda like Kaitlin Olson and Krysten Ritter.
http://www.uoalumni.com/s/1540/images/gid3/editor/enews/1403/olson-mug.jpg
See, I’d gladly remove a testicle for either of those two.
LOL, Inorite?
Plus…Krysten Ritter….best death scene ever.
Talking to my sister and she has been telling me how great Jessica Jones is all night. So I was gonna post some Krysten Ritter but I had assumed I was alone in liking her
No Sir!!!! She is much appreciated by us weird fucks.
Wow…that’s too small to appreciate. Take it to the top…
For the record. Binge watched it the first night/next day. I have seen it. She had thoughts on David Tennant though
I dunno, Krysten Ritter is pretty Drop Dead in my opinion:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eWh9h25mXt8/T6MfiOgtCWI/AAAAAAAAHIo/VshpmnL3Isw/s1600/479.1.jpg
Me too. I dig.
This would be Sparty’s 3rd loss in a row to Cornpone. Apparently, they are Sparty’s version of NC State to Pitt.
And the shot at the buzzer misses after the 1-and- bricks.
When you think College Bball….you think, NEBRASKA.
Sparty just made a bananas lucky bank shot to get within 1. 5.2 seconds left.
The Cousinfuckers ain’t gonna stay #6 very long if’n they lose at home to a shit heap like Texas.
That Shaka Smart kid is a credit to his race.
Whichever race that might be.
I don’t wanna risk being offensive so I will go with mulatto ,, smh
Oh come on….I set you up perfect for the Q-word. 😀
The Raptors DeRozan and Lowry are the best of buddies. This was made manifest when the latter, after his breakout year, was in contract discussions when it was clear that 5/6 teams were eager to court him. When DeRozan was asked about how the Raptors would deal with his buddy signing somewhere else he said, “It’s not going to happen. He’s really happy here.” Sure enough Lowry re-signed and may have possibly missed out on millions of bucks but is happy where he’s playing and doesn’t think anything less of his best buddy who innocently undercut him during negotiations.
/things are different up here if you allow them to be
I honestly have no idea who either of them dudes are.
They are the Raptors backcourt. I shouldn’t have expected anyone to know this.
Unless they are in the news like, a LOT (for, say, shooting up an orphanage) or played for NC State (unlikely) I know as much about the NBA as your average aboriginal New Zealander.
The Pack figuratively shot up an orphanage last night!!!
Hey Ohhhh!!!!
Up High…don’t leave me hanging.
/just kidding Sill
no kidding implied
Plus, getting paid in USD right now means they are living 45% better right now.
OK…I’m ready for The Walking Dead to go ahead and get their shit together and start up again. Which has almost nothing to do with Maggie Greene…

good tunes for a shitty day
yes, fuck today right in its eye!
/thanks for sharing teh music
you’re welcome!
Good song.
Two snaps up.
the cornpones are beating Sparty in Lansing
You ever have that dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
No pyramid, no robes, no pickles, no naked.
Otherwise, yes.
Question: Am I Antonio Cromartie in the dream, and are the pickles babies?
Sweagen…Cocksuckah.
Whut’s up, homos?
Hangdai fucking Wu.
It took me 6 hours to travel 3 hours away. Someone please explain to me why Southwest Virginia and Tenneesse do not believe in using snowploughs. Fucking four inches and I was passing a steady stream of jackknife tractor trailers and abandoned cars.
Oh and I can’t get a taxi to the airport at 5am so I have zero clue how I am suppose to get to my flights to Japan.
Sleep at the airport Marriott and charge it to the company?
Charge an Uber to the dick who made him fly there?
The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek ἱππόκαμπος, “seahorse” from ἵππος hippos, “horse” and κάμπος kampos, “sea monster”) is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates. Humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. It belongs to the limbic system and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation. The hippocampus is located under the cerebral cortex;[1] and in primates it is located in the medial temporal lobe, underneath the cortical surface. It contains two main interlocking parts: Ammon’s horn[2] and the dentate gyrus.
In Alzheimer’s disease, the hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain to suffer damage; memory loss and disorientation are included among the early symptoms. Damage to the hippocampus can also result from oxygen starvation (hypoxia), encephalitis, or medial temporal lobe epilepsy. People with extensive, bilateral hippocampal damage may experience anterograde amnesia—the inability to form and retain new memories.
In rodents, the hippocampus has been studied extensively as part of a brain system responsible for spatial memory and navigation. Many neurons in the rat and mouse hippocampus respond as place cells: that is, they fire bursts of action potentials when the animal passes through a specific part of its environment. Hippocampal place cells interact extensively with head direction cells, whose activity acts as an inertial compass, and conjecturally with grid cells in the neighboring entorhinal cortex.
Since different neuronal cell types are neatly organized into layers in the hippocampus, it has frequently been used as a model system for studying neurophysiology. The form of neural plasticity known as long-term potentiation (LTP) was first discovered to occur in the hippocampus and has often been studied in this structure. LTP is widely believed to be one of the main neural mechanisms by which memory is stored in the brain.
so…when I gets Alzheimer’s it will be particularly ironic?
Probably…
One more Uma
http://zntent.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Beautiful-Uma-Thurman-Wallpaper.jpeg
There was at least one person who loved Uma so I looked for a pic. All the animated ones are covered in blood and the one I found is tiny. Sorry
Ok so perhaps time has changed my perspective. Think not seeing her all the time has something to do with it.
West Virginny has climbed to #6? Good for them. When he was at Cincy I didn’t like Track Pants at all but since then he’s grown on me.
The King of Track Suits! HUZZAH!!!
Doesn’t Huggy wear ridiculous turtlenecks too?
One more Lizzy Caplan because I have had it open in a tab for awhile
http://media.sbs.com.au/home/upload_media/9000_talk-show.gif
The hawkey is still sadly horrible and awful, continuing David Stern’s personal lackey Gary Bettman’s purposeful ruination of the best sport in the world beside rugby.
If they don’t increase the ice size and the net size hawkey is totally doomed in the US.
Goals make hawkey fans.
Saves and central ice congestion make frustrated people who can’t stand the fucking game.
Wayne Gretzky wouldn’t score 50 points, let alone goals, in this stupid fucking league.
I always suspected him of being an NBA secret agent.
they just need to add thumping bass “music” when the puck is out of the attacking zone
College hockey has that. And and awesome penalty kill song w/ fan involvement they play the whole time it is going on. At least in WI
As long as it’s not high school. NO CHANTING!
Widen the ice to international standards but don’t change the goal size. Restrict goalie pad size instead. I love hockey how it is and don’t want it to start down the path football is going where it is gonna be shitty is a few years because every year they try to pander to idiots that won’t watch anyways.
You can’t resize the goalie equipment because they will cry “SAFETY OMG!!!111!!”
And they’re right. They shouldn’t have to sacrifice their safety for more goals.
Just make the nets 2″x 2″x 2″ larger and every single hit post from the last 100 years will go in.
5 x 5 x 5 cm foar you Canadaites and other furriners.
How wide is your leg? If you say 18″-22″ you are a fucking liar. The pads have gotten to the point they should be moderated if they are gonna change a rule. Still fine with current rules. 12 in a row for the Hawks
This is logical but not practicable.
The goalies will NEVER give up their huge equipment, not should they.
Increasing the size of the playable dimensions of the ice and the goals is the only way to maximize hawkey fandom in the general US population.
Can I agree your logic is correct but still hate you for suggesting it?

I believe they should widen 1 in x 1 in x 1 in and make the posts inward slanting as has been experimented with. Sadly they will not widen the rinks due to the loss of seating near the boards. Yes they cant see the forest for the trees by having less OVERALL asses in seats.
5 white guys with swords on their feet and scythe-like sticks in their hands whacking a rondel of frozen rubber at 100 mph at a net guarded by a white guy whose sole job is to stop that rondel from scoring is somehow less popular in the US than the basketing-balling.
This is not an accident.
DIE GARY BETTMAN DIE
One more Lizzy Caplan before I actually find something to do
http://dailygarlic.com/userImages/lizzy-caplan-gif-42220.gif
Can somebody please explain Aubrey Plaza to me?
Again, not saying that she’s ugly or anything ridiculous like that.
I just don’t see the SEW HAWT ATTRACTON EHRMAGERD

Help?
I love the dark, silent, sarcastic woman. If it isn’t your thing it isn’t your thing. That is ok
Her eyes are penetrating. Lithe and leggy. Awesome shoulders. And she’s mean, but in a smart, playful way. PUSHES MANY HIPPO BUTTONS.
Hippo Buttons is now a band name.
There is a Hippo Campus, and they good!
There is a real hippocampus too!

I feel the same about Uma Thurman.
I dated a gal who looked like Uma Thurman. She was cray-cray. Que lastima.
See, for me Uma is SUPERULTRAHAWT

and she was snorting stuff in that role too. which is also very hot.
Thanks for filling in the void, Hippo. You’re good people.
I was about to email DTZM to see if there was an open thread for tonight.
WOO 0.0625!
WOOOOOOOOOO!
NONREPEATING FRACTION WOO
Sitting around bored. Hooray for the open thread
