Your “Let’s Week To The Drinkend!” Friday Night Open Thread

We did it. Again. Another five weekdays dead and gone. TO THE INTOXICANTS! I’ll be in my cups soon, I promise you.

Games-wise we have ourselves a thin slate. As mentioned yesterday, the NHL is a no-show. The NBA offerings remind me of a certain Tar Heel graduate. Vince Carter could have been an All-Everything, Top 25 Of All-Time type player but he turned out to be a gutless piece of crap with no ambition that didn’t seriously work on his game during his career. Watch clips of his first two years with the Raptors. This was a time just before he became completely full of himself but the signs are there. Sidetracked! Okay, how is he like the NBA? So. Much. Potential. Such. Poor. Execution. The league in question-knowing that it has no competition from the NHL and college ball-deigns to give us the Cavs and an uninspiring Hou/OKC match up. The college ball has VCU/Davidson, Manhattan/Iona and Kent State/Ohio. I check these games out because I’m a tad pathetic but also to see if one of these teams might be capable of pulling an upset or two. I look for a senior-laden team, a point guard that can score and doesn’t turn the ball over, an up and coming coach or a squad that has committed fully to D. Perhaps I should exchange “tad” for “completely”. HAVE AT IT, GUARDIANS OF DFO!

Just watched Wednesdays Nightly Show with Brandon Marshall. Between him and Neil de Gras, it was pretty fantastic.

Random old Simpsons episode, or bed?

Bed. You’ve got Pro Bowl prop drinking to prepare for.

So the local factory only has specific tools to do their work. Literally they have maybe five different sizes of wrenches, metric. So to work on the US built stuff, I’ve been using larger wrench sizes and yen coins. I used to have to do this all the time in the navy. My Japanese bosses think I am brilliant now.

“Nickeling and diming” wrenches is common right? I mean I can’t be the first person to ever do this!

You should be. It’s solid news they can hopefully build on, because no one should want to pay Stan Kroenke rent.

The closest I can come to knowing what you’re going through is when I lived in Winnipeg in the mid-90s and the Jets first threatened and then did leave for Arizona. It was all the town had on the professional sports map, and they got their sould ripped out by a greedy businessman and a low Canadian dollar. Those people were crushed; I at least got to return to Vancouver and the Canucks.

My favorite development of the week was the possibility of the Las Vegas Raiders.

That is such a perfect pairing of city and team that the only reason it hasn’t happened yet is because football is run by idiots.

SO… I finally got my new computer system set up. I initially had a new iMac, but that went back because it didn’t play well with my peripherals. Plus, I was paying for a 5K display I was never gonna use.

So it’s back to PCs for me! Which meant figuring out what to use. Initial research into Best Buy, Amazon, etc. yielded less-than-useful results. Which led me to looking for PC builders so I could get what I wanted, because I’m particular (petulant) that way. Finally got it last week, and got the last of the add-ons & peripherals this week. I remember when all I needed to draw was paper and a pencil. Vaguely.

Where all of this was going, I have no idea, so, hey! Erica Campbell!

One of the reasons I like javascript is because if you tell it to do something it can’t do – say…set a drop-down menu to a value that doesn’t exist…it just say “eh, fuck it”, shrugs its shoulders, and keeps on chuggin’. In contrast to, say, Ruby, which throws up its hands and screams “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” and then goes leaping out the window.

I have finished my week of “Oh god I have to get small children to play violin for their parents please please PLEASE be semi-competent so I remain employed.” And I’m pretty sure I will! (Maestro, how do you do it?)

I rewarded myself by going to Wing Stop because I hadn’t been there before and because if you have a wing sauce labelled “Atomic” I’m mandated by, well, me, to try it out. Got 4 of those and 4 of the Hickory Smoked BBQ style just to have something to change it up with (wasn’t too impressed, not as smoky as I’d have liked, though I had those second). Guess I’d compare it to BWW’s Blazin’ sauce, but the sauce didn’t seem quite as hot* and had a bitter, almost metallic taste. However, it has either some seeds or peppercorns or something in it that brings the heat up if it’s in the right spot of your tongue, so that was nice. Never got too hot for me–I reached for the drink to cleanse the palate, not because of necessity–but maintained a present heat in my mouth for a good 15-20 minutes after eating. But I did only get 4, maybe if one day I try the 12-wing in 5 minute challenge it’d get painful.

*A quick Googling estimates it somewhere in the 200-250K range, BWW’s Blazin’ is estimated 250-350K, so I guess that makes sense.

WCS

I’ve successfully done the Atomic Wing challenge at Quaker Steak and Lube twice. It’s a dozen wings in five minutes. The first time actually wasn’t that bad; the second time actually made me hyperventilate.

I can’t do those things anymore, as the GERD just makes it ungood for 36 hours after.

Senor Weaselo

I haven’t done it anywhere because my friends would look upon with with disdain even if I was successful, plus I’m more in it for “how hot is it and can I appreciate what they did with the heat” rather than “can I eat 12 of these wings in 5 minutes?” Besides, I’ll get caught on the middly parts enough to fuck my time over.

So in an effort to track down that Peanuts + Bukowski thing that came out a long while back (which unfortunately I was unable to do) I was reminded of Progressive Boink, and The Dugout, and wondering whether anybody else is still doing that kind of stuff. I mean I guess somebody must be…but it feels like it’s all NFL_Memes and stuff now. Kind of a bummer.

But on the plus side, me and the wife are gonna have a cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys night with champagne and croque madame sandwiches. Should be fun.
