Your “Oh. You’re Done Already?” Quickie Saturday Afternoon Open Thread

You don’t think we got sports and stuff to talk about? You’re wrong. You’re so wrong.

Stuttgart/Hamburg SV is on tap. It don’t get more Teutonic than that. The Farmer’s Insurance Open is happening at 3. ABC brings the X Games to the young ‘uns. There’s such a shit ton of college ball going on that it would be exhausting for me to list them. JUST DO WHAT YOU DO, FOLKS!

You know you married well when your wife doesn’t drink but doesn’t mind driving you and your idiot friend to the local brewery and is willing to sit through you putting away 4 pints of their stupid delicious stout and then drives you home.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A friend of mine and his wife are both brewery-heads. They go some place, get a sampler flight, then take a growler or two home. It’s nice to have a good team systems.

Its my yinzer buddy’s birthday, which is why boxing and such. He just informed me we have to “celebrate his birthday in all four time zones.”

This is why we are friends.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

We’ve got to admit that is a good plan; one’s needs to cover the bases.

I once did bat races at a friend’s pig roast. You had to chug a solo cup of beer and run to one bat, put your head on it and run around it 5 times clockwise. Then you ran to the next bat and had to run around it 5 times counterclockwise. Then you had to sprint back to the start.

When you ran back after the second spin it was like you were trying to run on a 45 degree angle. No one made it back in one piece.

My team won.

I think I’m gonna play “thirty pack down” tonight.

Also, if the Raiders do go to Vegas, we sort of HAVE to go as a group, right?

WCS

If I were to go to Vegas, one of four things would happen:

1. Drink myself to death
2. Overdose to death
3. Lose everything and jump in front of bus
4. Lose everything and be disappeared by the mob

That said, I’m in.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I can’t wait to see Moose in Vegas.

entropy

The first time I went, I ended up on a houseboat on Lake Mead watching people play poker for a thousand dollar ante per hand. I was making $6.15 an hour at the time. I drank all the whiskey and borrowed a limo for a ride back to the Luxor.

I fucking loved Vegas, but have learner to tone it down since.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I didn’t like Vegas at all; New Orleans is (was) more my style for debauchery. However, it is the perfect place for Future Moose to get the fuck out of hand.

God New Orleans is fun, too.

I have never been to Las Vegas and have no desire to end that streak. If, however, New Orleans is the goal I am motherfucking in. That city is the tits.

Literally.

Im a “why not?” kind of guy. Ill go anywhere

Pretty much the plan. Things gon’ go crazy in Vegas… Like, craaaazzzy, man!

Future Moose gots to set things right when he sees an injustice. Even if involves endangering his fellow travelers.

An injustice…in Las Vegas?

I can’t imagine such a thing.

I am fairly certain I committed a few dozen there.

Instead of all the usual questions to determine if you have a drinking problem, they should just ask if you ever drink vermouth on its own.

Perfect.

There is some karaoke show on the tv now.

They seem to have made zero attempt at getting people who are good at singing…

WCS

Some skier on the X-Games just got himself BROKED.

WCS

Yeah, that’s probably a fractured leg and a pantsload of torn ligaments.

I saw that at the bar. Even with a four beer buzz it looked awful, and this is coming from the guy who laughed at the MMA fighter who got KTFO’d 15 minutes earlier.

Are there any boxing fans here?

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

That’ll be me after Fallout later tonight.

JustStopDude

Ugh…So the factory finally gave me the day off. I left there last night around 1030. Made it over to Jimmy’s to watch the under 20 championship game. Made it to half time where it was 2-0 Korea over Japan. The mood in Jimmy’s was foul and I was exhausted.

You know you are tired when you can’t stay focused enough to get drunk.

I apologized to Jimmy and stumbled back to my hotel. I figured I would get some sleep, answer some emails in the morning, and try and shop for some gifts for family to bring back.

Woke up sick as a fucking dog. I mean I can’t swallow. I can’t keep food down, and my head is fucking pounding. Even worse, Japan came back and won it all 3-2 in the second half. I would have loved to have seen Jimmy’s tiny bar exploding with local joy…

Oh and since the factory wants me to stay a few more days, I just realized its a major fucking festival next two weeks here in Chinatown, Nagasaki. So fucking hotels are booked solid.

I’ve enjoyed my time here but dear lord I am ready to go home…

Horatio Cornblower

“I mean I can’t swallow.”

Are we married?

As I start tonight’s drinking in earnest, it occurs to me getting drunk is a lot of work. Having a tolerance sucks.

MTV should never have stopped the Unplugged series.

I used to listen to the Nirvana one on loop. Best thing they did since interviewing David Bowie.

Nirvana Unplugged was great, but Alice in Chains was probably the best.

Doktor Zymm

I spent some time with Pats fan today, and he put on The Detectorists because it had British Dwight in it. It’s only six half hour episodes, and is actually pretty damn funny. I hope they make another season.

Actually, internet says there is a second season, but only season 1 on Netflix.

Quick! To your torrentmobile!

To wait, or to download. That is the question.

Hi, I’m American, and instant gratification is pretty much a birthright for us.

True, but I’m also lazy, and even a minimal amount of effort must be justified.

Isnt looking for something on the Internet today’s version of “minimal effort?”

makeitsnowondem

I loved Detectorists. I was hoping, though, that if they made a second season it’d be with all new characters. Thought the original story deserved to end where it was.

fun fact: golf has a shot called an “albatross”. aka “double eagle”.

I have a friend that made one once.
Really long hitter off the tee, but mostly shitty otherwise. But one day on a Par 5 he happened to catch his 5 wood just right on a second shot and damned thing dropped. He still hasn’t stopped talking about it….and this was like 20 years ago.

Neither would I.

Every time I see the word “albatross,” I get reminded of Robin Williams’ cameo in the Bloom County Christmas special as a kiwi whose wife left him for an albatross.

Leo may be the first actor to actually make a fucking snuff film to win an Oscar if he doesn’t get one this year.

At the very least, he’ll make sure to be raped by two bears next time.

I watched some of Blood Diamond today, and his entire career hes been getting his ass kicked in an effort to be noticed by the academy. Not saying BD was a great movie, but Leo is great in it. Hell, even in Drugs, Tits, and Money (wolf of wall street), he was great and had that awesome qualude scene. Someone give the guy an award already.

ballsofsteelandfury

He’s fucked the vast majority of the good-looking actresses of this era. I’d say he’s already gotten his award.

makeitsnowondem

I’ve never seen Blood Diamond, but lady snow was just last night telling me it’s terrific. I’ll definitely be watching it soon.

He was absolutely brilliant in Wolf of Wall Street, that’s for sure. He just ran into a goddamned buzzsaw going up against McConaughey and Ejiofor.

JustStopDude

His accent in Blood Diamond is HILARIOUSLY bad if you have ever spent time interacting with Afrikaners.

Its akin to a Finnish person trying to do a Chinese accent. Its so fucking jarring. I realize that most people will never notice it. I really liked the movie, but I found myself busting out in laughter at some of his dialogue.

Time for my annual tradition of watching Super Bowl III Highlights and remember that the New York Jets not only made it to a Super Bowl, but actually won it.

Sadly, I got close to being that big in the not too distant past.
I’m now back down to svelt 215, heading for 205 as the goal.

entropy

The last time I weighed 215, I was 20 years old. I’m at 272 today, and actually grateful for it (I was over 320 this time last year, which is depressing ti me now). I wish I had any capability of getting below 250.

theeWeeBabySeamus

After my divorce and accompanying pain in the assery, I got really insanely anal about getting back in shape. Got back down close to 190, and according the young lady I dated for a short time (nearly 20 years younger than me….takes a bow) looked pretty good. But honestly I felt too light. Felt weak a lot of the time.
Then, some pretty intense family shit last couple years, and I compensated by eating like a crazy person. LOL. So now, doing the whole thing again.

ballsofsteelandfury

If you’re at 272, I think you can make 250. It’s not an unreasonable goal. If you said 200, then I’d be a little hesitant, but I think you can do it. If you need any help/encouragement/tips, let me know!

entropy

250 is the goal; below that, I think, would be damn near impossible.

I’m a naturally large mammal; it is just a fact. And 6’5″ 250 isn’t a bad thing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You’ve got five inches on me (giggity).
250 is likely not a problem for you.

Watching highlights of Super Bowl II and in three plays I saw two plays that were praised in 1968 would have been penalties in 2016.

WCS

Did they know what constitutes a catch back then?

Redshirt

Unclear, its the highlights. The NFL may have edited out the bad catches.

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s best not to look back. It’s like looking at sex tapes of that crazy ex-girlfriend when you’re married with two kids. You’re not going back, so what’s the point?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not to mention it might earn you the Lorena Bobbitt treatment.

College basketball does nothing for me until the tournament starts, at which point I am suddenly overcome with a feel and abiding hatred for Duke. So today was kinds dull, sports-wise. However, my town made it interesting by driving a fuckin backhoe down my road scraping up the last of the snowpiles in the street and forcefully SHOVING them into people’s yards.

My neighbors on the corner will be pleased to see the new concrete walkway they installed in December sitting on its side, playing retaining wall to about eight feet if snow
