Yet another week that can’t end fast enough. JUST GET IT OVER WITH, GREGORIAN CALENDAR.
All the lousy players in the NHL are taking a few days off while the better ones increase their chances of injury by participating in some skills stuff that means nothing and a goalies-flaying “game” that may as well be played with three or more pucks. The NBA, seizing upon the opportunity, has no above-.500 teams playing against each other. The Raptors, Hawks, Grizzlies and Bulls will be showing their wares against teams that I can’t be bothered to catalogue. Hey, college ball, do you have anything for us? Well indeed they do. #3 Iowa tackles #8 Maryland, #23 Oregon meets #18 Arizona, #12 MSU is going to crush Northwestern and #25 Notre Dame is up against #87 (with a bullet…to my temple) Syracuse. HAVE AT IT, NE’ER-DO-WELLS.

Doesn’t tie bikini tight enough.
I’m here at the game. None of the young ladies looking for boyfriends on the ice look like that.
I could see that. It is in East Van. Hows the game in person?
Doesn’t inhale. Would not bang.
Is it just the lighting, or does she have weirdly hairy arms?
…and now I can’t stop staring at it.
Haha!!
I thought freckles. But upon closer inspection, you might have a point. And now I can’t stop looking.
The Republican stance on poor people:

Lingerie is too complicated. Would not bang.

That didn’t work so goodly.

While your rejection makes he sad, I will soldier on for you and gladly assist this poor woman through the worst of her emotional devastation.
Or, “I have sharp knives to cut through complicated knots, would most def. bang.”
Its not Health Care Reform. It should be Health Cost Reform.
It should cost a week’s pay to go to the doctor.
I shouldn’t have to spend a month for my Health Insurance to kick in.
My dad shouldn’t have to dip into his 401(k) because he had a heart attack.
It should cost a week’s pay to see the doctor?
Read what I mean; not what I type.
Also, I don’t want to be told government health care isn’t something I should have by people who already receive it, free of charge.
So you just want it cheaper?
At the least get rid of the deductible.
I have to spend a month’s pay to get to use the insurance that I am already paying for. How does that make sense?
I thought you were against any kind of subsidies or pooling of individuals to reduce rates.
Question that’ll never get asked: America’s top allies in the Middle East are openly funding extreme Islamic ideology and terrorist organizations that are directly at war with America. If elected, what will you do to change this?
There’s such a disconnect between the crap being thrown against the wall in this “debate” and the well-meaning, intelligent, even-minded, generous American folks that I interact with on this site and a few others. From the outside looking in all I have to say is, VOTE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
At least Dok will. It’s the Chicago way.
Also the Chicago way.
It will be mandatory viewing when Trump forces Santorum and Huckabee into a ten-pace duel for the VP slot.
I’m keeping track via the Gawker rivebrog and they just switched to the Trump Tard Rally and holymotherfuckingshit is this a shitshow.
How close is to “Triumph of the Will”?
It’s more “odd” than “Nazi” at this point apparently, but yeah, a Trump presidency would be an actual look-into-changing-citizenship thing.
I never would have guessed you were a Muslim from your screen name.
ALLAHU AKBAR YOU GOATFUCKER.
(I have no idea how a Muslim person might curse.)
Seems reasonable.
If Trump wins on November 8, I’ll explore an amendment to repel the Declaration of Independence and see if we can go back to Mother England before Brother Trump wrecks the place.
I’m legitimately considering petitioning Canada to build a wall to keep Americans out if it seems like Trump will win presidency.
If anybody needs me.

My God, just shut the buck up and let the poor moderators moderate!
That would be GOTCHA journalism!
There are no bucks here, only D”OHs.
I’m a brony. That’s where I got “buck” from.

Both jokes flew mere inches from one another, but still completely missed and unknown to the target.
Sooooo….how’s that respect and intelligent-ish thing going?
WHAT??

I am amazed that you find these debates insightful and intelligent.

The worst thing about Boogie Nights was that it convinced people that Marky Mark was a competent actor and should be cast in every movie possible.
He was perfectly cast for that part and didn’t have act much, now I see that character in everything he does.
The sophomore album by the musical duo known as “Houses” is incredible; just a really, really haunting, atmospheric, beautiful arrangement. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Here is a YouTube playlist of the whole damn thing:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyLSIob9b1Ujqughg_Fq9REcdQBjr6coX
It has been the soundtrack to today’s reading and random sketching and I have barely noticed the time fly by me, and I have listened to it maybe three times.
I got to about six and half minutes before I had to turn it off or else risk damage to the TV or something else. That might be a record for me!
It’s worth noting that the last two Republicans who won the Iowa caucus were Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. Further proof Iowa doesn’t matter in literally anything.
LMFAO
But what about President Howard Dean and President Harkin?
Try being a moderate Republican. I can’t be a Democrat because I don’t believe in their core views, but I can’t fully support the Republican Party because I have a heart and common sense.
Vote “None of the Above” in 2016!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR A COMMIE UNPATROIT WHO LOVES SOSHLISM AND NOBUMMER AND HATIES FREEDOM
You forgot….YOU WANT THE TERRORISTS TO WIN.
Just trynna help out.
Tried that same tactic 12 years ago and it didn’t work then either. I cancelled my subscriptions to the handful of left-leaning magazines I had when they all pussied out and endorsed Kerry and backed the Anybody But Bush sentiment. That’s also when I decided it was time to remove myself from politics.
Spent a year volunteering for Kucinich and listening to dipshits tell me how much they liked what he was saying and supported his ideas, but wouldn’t vote for him because he couldn’t win. Like a fucking snake eating it’s own tail.
Oh god, there is no sportsing on tonight. A night of whatever she wants to watch it is.
Simple rule to fix debate:
Bell dings at 0 seconds left.
Electrified collar activates at 5 seconds over if they are still talking.
Bucket of scalding hot water over head tips over at 7 seconds over if they are still talking.
Trap door opens at 10 seconds over if they are still talking.
I love it.
Hell, institute those rules and I will watch.
They also need to go full Maury by hiring escorts to try and bang the candidates before the show. And when the topic of ethics pops up, that’s when we rung the footage of the candidates with their pants down.
Both male and female. It is the Republican debate afterall.
“Gone/Going Rogue” is the worst phrase that poop culture has embraced in the last number of whatever years. No matter the context it reminds me of some self-absorbed shithead from Alaska.
Shanahan was always going rouge
I have self-absorbed shitheads in Alaska who are family.
And I agree fully.
It’s an absolute dump, but the Pacific Coliseum has great lighting and looks nice on tv.
And the hometown kid Ty Ronning scores and pops the game’s cherry!
1-0 Team Cherry.

The great thing about the CHL prospects game is that these kids have to play defense, hit and try and standout. The NHL would almost be better off to have the NHL players do the skills game, and then do the prospects game (including European prospects) on the Sunday to showcase the future,

Thirsty Thursday.
Does not need moisturizer.
Might bang then? (where’s moose?)
Idiot. Always double check who made the post in the first place.
LOL
I’d love for DC to hire her to play a hero or villain in their movies or TV shows. Or both.
Fun side effects of aging part 417:
Dry skin.
It’s always dry out here in the winter but you really notice it when it gets cold. I have dry spots on my fucking eyelids for Christ’s sake! The face is like a wind swept barren wasteland. Last night I was drinking a lovely Northern California Syrah and my lips were so damned chapped that the wine stained the corners of my mouth. It was horrifying!
I now have scrubs, moisturizers, lotions and balms to keep the desert skin at bay.
Today I realized that my bathroom cabinet looks exactly like my grandMOTHER’s did when I was a kid.
I’m not enjoying this shit.
skin hydration be important! this is part of my old man creed as well. the really good/expensive hand cream before bed nightly just to survive winter.
I was just reflecting back to high school when you were trying to find anything, even strong chemicals to make your skin as dry as possible.
Come to think of it, I don’t miss those days too much either.
TERRORISM ISIS FEAR BAD
…yet, no mention of white Christian occupiers in Oregon…
The funny thing is if they call them “Christian extremists” that would give them carte blanche to use “Islamic extremists” because it shows they are not discreminating against Islam; they are calling them what they are.
But I’m giving the impression that they’re not smart enough to realize that.
It’s a shame Rod Serling is dead. He would make a fantastic football commentator.
Submitted for your approval….
RoboManning drops back….
A sign post up ahead….
Panthers D crushes his cervical vertebrae.
Next stop: The surgical zone.
Pregame talking about Shaun Day’s junior hockey career and how he was originally an exceptional status. Now he might be a top 15 pick and i trying to prove he’s not an off-ice psychopath. You know, promising things a team wants to hear when drafting a high end first rounder. . .
Michael Buble just got burned!
The players’ reactions now being shown on ‘Patriots Football Weekly’; you’ll pardon me while I whip this out.
Slow and steady, and maybe you can get to first commercial.
Just remembered the 3058th Republican debate was on. Did Trump show?
No. The respect and intelligent-ish dialogue is jarring.
Are you sure you’re tuned to the correct channel?
I thought I was watching the Republican debate, but it turns out it’s the first season of Twilight Zone. Much more entertaining and less disturbing.
I said “intelligent-ish”.
I was more referring to “respect”.
But potato, potahto.
Remember your relativity theory when mentioning intelligent dialogue.
First week of student teaching almost done. They will live. A few will most definitely look good in orange down the road, but for idiotic things rather than making skinsuits. I am in the same school I was last in 25 years ago by random chance. I never once set foot on the 3rd floor back then, now that’s where I am. It’s a long way to the top. Cheers ladies and gents.
Best of luck! What’re you teaching?
8th graders. World history classes and college prep.
Oh, you poor bastard.
I asked for it. I was a child protection worker for many many years in Milwaukee before I had to move back to help my family. This ain’t nothing really.
Good stuff, I remember enjoying 8th grade, though I’m pretty sure me and all my peers were annoying as all hell.
8th grade was when I got the nun to call me a fucking jerk. Good year for me.
I’m so sorry. So, so sorry.
Sweet. The CHL prospects game is on tonight. Team Cherry vs Team Orr. I don’t think they sold the game out and it has absolutely everything to do with it being at the Pacific Coliseum and on a Thursday night at 6 pm in January.
Oregon-Arizona (on THE DEUCE) has Bill Walton, so I have something non-rage-inducing to watch.
Huzzah for non-sequitors!
I wish ESPN did something like gameday for CB. I’d love to see Walton light up a giant spliff and just say “Hey man, when I saw the Dead in 76 they did a 40 min version and it was really groovy.”
I would watch the everliving fuck out of that.
Oh boy, it’s the Pro Bowl Draft and they’re talking strategy. Irvin going to pick guys most likely to have Coke and Jerry is going to pick work ethic. Probably.
Okay, nice joke by Cruz. Now I got to slap myself for liking something Cruz did.
I don’t believe in colouring one’s grey hair, but if’n I looked as odd as Mark Turgeon…yeah, I’d make an exception.
I started going grey in my early 20s, and I still made it longer than both my parents. Fuck you nature, I’m dying that shit.
uh, I would also make an exception for that. I just think it’s silly for anyone 40+ to be vain about it.
My beard is more grey than my roof. So far I’ve avoided dying either….though I do keep the beard trimmed way short these days because those fucking grey hairs have a fucking mind of their own if left unchecked. Little bastards.
I would give another dissertation about plucking the grey ones, but I don’t want to turn the Hippo into a blubbering idiot again.
My beard started going grey in my mid-20s, but it took another 10+ years for the rest of my hair to catch on the hot new trend in hair coloring. Now, I’ve got the salt-and-pepper thing going, and I just never had enough give-a-shit to worry about it.
Now, though, when I get my hair cut, I see exactly how much grey is in there, and I wonder how much longer it’ll be before I’m completely grey.
Only a little gray in the beard, but serious skin action up top. Haven’t let my hair grow longer than 3/4″ since I was 27.
Ditto here. I am regularly asked if I am a cop or military.
I am neither.
Sheeeeit, I still have largely the same haircut (including sideburns) I had when I was in college. Who fucking says the early-mid 90s are over??
/creature of habit
No hair = no gray!
Little gray in the beard.
Hey! Rand Paul got called up from Triple-A. Good for him!
He’s the one who’s ok with black people and weed, so he makes up for it by being super crazy about everything else, right?
I have no clue. They are so many Republicans, I can’t keep track.
I just picked two I kind of like (Kasich and Rubio) and hope they survive. I originally picked Carson and Fiorina, but then I listen to them.
Being a 2016 Demmycrat is much, much easier. It’s like “would you vote for a self-described socialist in the primary?” If no, you default into being READY FOAR HILLYBOB, and you just calmly wait until November.
I just hope the Republicans don’t catch something in their Fishing Expedition and Hillary goes down.
Cuse is going to sneak into the March Madness.
Again….must be nice.
Now….shush you. We loser programs don’t want to hear about it.
So…my normal March Madness strategy of picking UMD to win and Duke to lose in the first round might be slightly less crazy than usual this year!
Though picking Duke to lost in the first round pays more often than you might think.
I’m watching an episode of “Night Court” that aired in 1985. You know way back then, the Republican Party was actually respected and at least attempted actively contributed to the good of the nation?
Well, time to watch the debate and rapidly bang my head on the wall when I see what has happened to the Party of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan.
They were really doing okay until the Clinton years and the “Contract with America” BS
Actually it was when they when all bloodthirsty when Clinton got caught with his little Head of State.
The smart idea was to plan the seed that Democrats’ are untrustworthy and let the voters decide. Not go all in on one hand.
Well at least they learned their lesson about…. Oh wait, nevermind.
Lincoln would be a Democrat today, Eisenhower was a complete non-entity as president, and Reagan is the reason why everything sucks now.
Agreed with Lincoln. Its funny that the party that freed the slaves are hated by their descendents and the party that wanted to keep them slaves are loved by their descendents.
Southern Strategy, baby!
I may have lost the instructions to my whipped cream dispenser. And I may have not used it in awhile and kind of forgotten how to get it started. And my kitchen may currently look like it’s covered in the cum of an energetic elephant, but I assure you, that’s just whipped cream.
I have never heard a penis referred to as a “whipped cream dispenser” before, nor did I know they came with instruction manuals.
Is it wrong that I’m both laughing and avoiding commenting for fear of further explanation?
Googling “energetic elephant gif” brings up some interesting hits….in case anyone is interested.

That’s just…wrong.
Gotta take those typo setups when they’re there!

Thinking of dropping Netflix and going exclusively with Amazon Prime streaming. It seems whenever I want to watch something specific I search for it on Netflix and they just refer me to a bunch of crap they claim is related to what I actually want to watch. I’ve only watched a couple of their original series, so I don’t think I would be missing out too much on that front. Anyone else have any pros/cons?
eventually, there will be another Arrested Development!
From your lips to God’s ear.
Well, anything you really want to see that’s exclusive can be torrented, so I can’t see much in the way of a downside to using only provider for your streaming needs (as long as it’s not Hulu. I fucking hate Hulu and their god damned ads never working properly on their old “free” site so I have an irrational disdain for them to this day).
I come from a time when renting a VHS tape cost $5 per night, buying a VHS tape cost $100 and a CD cost $17.
I have both because to me both are so unbelievably cheap compared to the past that it almost seems like I’m losing money if I don’t have them.
I worked in a Blockbuster Video for most of my teen years. During the snowstorm last weekend, I kept flashing back to having to work during any sort of horrific weather, and every asshole with six movies in their hand asking the same god damn question….
“Why are you guys even open during this horrible storm?”
I would just look at the pile of movies and say, “Because people like you can’t stand five minutes with their own families without some televised distraction. That’ll be $24, and no, we will not be waving late fees if you can’t make it back on time with the movies.”
Oh yeah, Denis Wideman definitely accidentally on-purpose hit that ref. Notice how he never looked back or apologized? That shit is intentional. Also, he kind of screwed himself over because he can’t say he was totally dazed and confused because then he’d be throwing his trainers and coaches under the bus for a hefty fine.
He should get a ten game suspension. I see the NHL giving him 3-5. Though if it’s reduced to 3-5, I’d imagine the Flames will get fined as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWNfGrWBMd8&feature=youtu.be
Wideman “misjudges?” He full-bore stopped, corrected his aim, and slammed into the ref. If there is any “misjudgement” in that, it’s that he maybe dipped his left shoulder a bit more than his right.
I heard he may get 20 games. He’s got a hearing on Tuesday.
Lady Commander is making ramen for dinner tonight. You know, the kind that doesn’t come in a bag or cup. I am excite.

Maryland and Rutgers in the Big Ten is still kinda odd to me.
Very odd.
So I’m officially a week into the job search. I’ve done 4 phone interviews, one in person interview, and two “assessment activities”. I have another in person interview tomorrow, plus another 4 phone interviews scheduled between tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday. This shit is tiring. I despise talking to strangers on the phone. Also, I am out of toaster oven pizza.
I’ve talked to four recruiters this week, which I’ve realized is a pointless task. Two of them “didn’t know” the compensation offering for the position. Yeah, okay, sure.
At least the tide of insurance company calls has dropped off… For the moment.
It hasn’t happened so much this time, but last time I kept getting people who wanted me to do Sales. There’s no way they even glanced at my resume.
I wasn’t sure if it just always happened to me, cause I have some sales background, or if they just spam everyone.
My favorite was yesterday, where this lady called and left a message but didn’t mention the name of the company.
“Hi this is Low Commander, calling back about the position.”
“Yes, hi!’ I am with Farmers and we’d like to offer you a position as a Sales Manager, where you could eventually owm your own btanch. Does that interest you?”
“Sure doesn’t!”
Yeah, they just spam everyone. I have no sales background, and everything on my resume is math/science/computer based.
“We use computers! Hire her!”
I’m in the same spot. I fucking hate cover letters and phone interviews are bullshit. And the market right now kind of sucks.
I still haven’t gotten around to writing a new cover letter. I’ve just been applying to jobs that don’t require one.
I’ve only applied to one so far, and it has this in the requirement:
We need people with high attention to detail, so include your favorite ice cream flavor in yoir cover letter.
….fucking really?
At least you know they probably read it? Though that is a super annoying request, and you may consider if you really want to work there. I’m having second thoughts about the place that has catered breakfast and lunch everyday, and the hiring guy emailed me for phone availability at 7:30 pm, and finalized a time at 10:30 pm. I’m thinking this is one of those “live at the office” types of places. Always be suspicious of the really good office perks.
That’s like high school test with the insanely long instructions telling you to write nothing.
Also, couldn’t that be construed as discriminatory to vegans and the lactose intolerant?
Fuck, I feel for everybody in this thread. Job hunting sucks and I’m still less than a year from struggling to find something that would get me out of a shittastic situation, and every hoop to jump through was annoying as fuck, especially if they’d get my hopes up. The. Worst.
So I wish my own recent luck on everyone: may a recruiter bless you with a solid job offer that you can build from. I’d offer advice, but considering my most recent situation taught me “just be totally fucking lucky”, I don’t think that’s very helpful.
Here’s some stupid argument fuel:
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/page/top50SBrank3/ranking-50-greatest-players-super-bowl-history-nos-10-1-nfl
That’s some weird methodology…they had people vote on head to head matchups? Also, they aren’t clear, did they use the stats and overall performance of the player’s whole career, or just their Super Bowl appearances?
That list is so shitty, I thought I was reading a list from Rolling Stone and half expected Desmond Howard to be on there
The most boringest night until June.
I would just like to brag and say that it’s already Friday here and I’ll be drinking beer in 7 hours. Woo!
I thought binge-drinking was always acceptable down there
