Your “SUPER HUMP DAY!” Wednesday Open Thread

In Super Bowl news, Broncs Safety Ryan Murphy (practice squad) has never heard of Eugene Robinson. Yeah that  Eugene Robinson. Murphy was stung by a prostitution sting. The good news for Murphy, according to my understanding of bee stings is that it can only be done once and then the cop that arrested you dies. Way to protect that hive, worker cop. Asked for comment, the NFL Players Association said, “Why do you give us so much down time at night? It’s completely the Broncos and the NFL’s fault!” Apparently Megatron is retiring. As he leaves the city of Detroit via the Barry Sanders Memorial Off-Ramp, Martha Ford will ask a bewildered intern, “How many mules did we get for him and for how much?-this celery cap business is perplexing!” before easing herself into a hot tub filled with Gower Champion look-a-likes. It turns out that Kenny Stabler had the CTE. Absolutely no one familiar with the way the game was played in the 70’s is surprised.

The NHL’s markee (American spelling) game is Wings/Lightning. Make of that what you will. The NBA responds with a big bag of “We might do better tomorrow-we’re not sure…”. The college ball gives us #3 Nova,  #4 Maryland, #5 Iowa, #6 Xavier, #7 Kansas, #9 UVA, #17 Miami, #21 Wichita State and #23 Arizona. Somebody is doing some heavy lifting…

Entertainment News Headline That Made Me Kinda Sad Today:

“‘Big Bang Theory’ 200th Episode Will Have Adam West and Other Guests”

Terriers had 13 episodes. USA’s rather decent “Robbery Homocide Division” had 13 as well, of which maybe 7 aired. Firefly, 13 episodes. Undeclared, 13 episodes, Arrested Development, what, 53 episodes? So many good shows canceled in either one season, or got truncated final seasons, because they were too inaccessible for the average asshole who thinks “Bazinga” is just goddamn HILARIOUS.

BIG BANG THEORY WILL CELEBRATE 200 EPISODES IN A WORLD WHERE ‘BETTER OFF TED’ GOT 26. This is WRONG.

Doktor Zymm

There is absolutely no reason to stop using “common” as a pejorative term.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yep. Smart and well written scripted TV has a hard time surviving, especially on the major networks.
/when does Big Brother start?
//Just kidding….I freaking hate that shit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Poor Dee.
Yay for old black man, tho.

WCS

This season has been incredible.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes it has.
When Mac’s snap became obvious and he revealed Dennis Jr’s nutritional value, I thought I was gonna piss myself.

Can’t decide: Tits Ahoy or Oreolas?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

pudenda mints?

rockingdog

Tits Ahoy. The commercial would naturally have a boat in the shape of boobies floating in an ocean of milk.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah….milk.

rockingdog

heads up, Curry has 47 pts and is going for some 3pt record right now….

In a non descript prairie town for 4 days for work. Went to a bar thonight that could seat 500, it sat me. That is it. It was heaven, had wings and beer to a cavalcade of bad music but it was absolute bliss. Then a guy that looked like Kid Rock came in, leather hat and all.

I love being the only person in a bar. It almost always ends up being a great time.

It was great. they staff went out for a smoke, I took pictures of me all over that place.

Is there a discount for the ones with cracks?

No chocolate sprinkles?

Very much enjoying Mac and Dennis’ “domestic” lives, but, damn there are a lot of commercials this week.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Mac is good with the signaling talk.

In an ironic twist, when I spent my dowry in a whorehouse the night before my wedding, I referred to the gaggle of assembled hookers as my “practice squad.”

Doktor Zymm

You had a dowry?

SonOfSpam

How else was her family gonna gain access to my valuable seed? (Besides stealing my socks)

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hee hee….road rage Dennis is awesome.

The Maestro

Thought of the evening: if prostitution ever becomes legal, I need to have an app created in order to deliver workers directly to clients’ houses, and have the transaction handled completely digitally.

I’m thinking of calling it Boober.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, I guess they’re already using Amazon

SonOfSpam

Drones must be part of this somehow.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Would the gigolos become the clitterati ?

I have somehow missed that the Esquire network (itself something I am barely aware of) has made a 13-episode series that appears to be a faithful retelling of Beowulf. Has anyone seen any of this? It started airing two weeks ago, I believe. Is it worthwhile? Terrible? A half-assed timewaster to get you through until Game of Thrones starts back up?

I MUST KNOW.

rockingdog

I remember reading that book as a my high school english class. It was pretty good.
I hope they included all the blood and gore properly….

entropy

I have always been a huge fan of Beowulf, since my HS English teacher used a Frazetta painting to introduce the poem to us.

(He was also probably my favorite english teacher of all time, even if he had the incredibly incorrect opinion that Dracula is a better novel than Frankenstein. I mean, seriously? How can anyone support that opinion?!)

Cardinal Ludovico Trevisan was “one of the richest members of the papal court and was famous for his appetites for gambling, horses, women, art, dogs and fine cuisine.”

Woohoo! I’m holier than an old-timey Cardinal!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I tried to googlebing the vows of wealth, promiscuity, gambling, stealing from the church, etc. and didn’t come up with much.

Doktor Zymm

Well, they only really cover the Benedictine, Franciscan, etc. I’m thinking of starting my own order of monks/nuns, the Whiskicites.

Doktor Zymm

I was thinking whisky, but whatever partially un-submerges your aquatic device, dude.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Thus the “joke.”

Doktor Zymm

Being purposely obtuse is it’s own reward.

How can you be so obtuse? Is it deliberate?

Reading up on, say, the Borgias, before a theology class was always a surefire way to ensure my days were exciting back in Catholic school.

Doktor Zymm

Hey, if you’re ever bored, wanna go dig up some corpses and excommunicate them?

entropy

I don’t even need to be bored to do this! Who doesn’t love a good graverobbing now and again?

Doktor Zymm

Woohoo! I’ll get a list of notable Catholics if you get a shovel!

entropy

I have many shovels, a pickaxe or two, although I may need you to work up some passable Italian or Latin to inform the authorities we have the full permission of the DFO Charter to perform these actions.

Doktor Zymm

I’ve got some Latin, and I know a guy (okay, a female art historian) for the Italian. And half the people here are lawyers, I’m sure they’ll laugh and do nothing when we’re arrested.

entropy

Oh, there will be more than pointing and laughing. Someone will mutter, “I told you so,” and someone else will make an epic blog series about the continuing misadventures of The Dok & entropy.

Does anyone remember a first or second season Simpsons sequence that went like this?

Homer throws Patty & Selma out of the house, and Marge follows them outside, apologizes for Homer, and then says, “He’s realy… complex.”

Then, suddenly, Homer sticks his head out a second-storey window holding a plate he promptly smashes over his own head and screams, “WRONG!!!”

I know it happened, but I will be dipped in solid gold dogshit if I can ever find the damn thing.

I pretty much remember all things from the first ten seasons, and yes, I remember that. I don’t think it was that early (season 1 or 2), though.

THANK YOU! No wonder I couldn’t find it, I was searching way too early in the series. This is yet another reason why I love this place and its people.

Shogun Marcus

Yes! I believe he says something like “time to take out the garbage” while he hauls them out. It’s early-ish in the run.

Doktor Zymm

Can’t do tongue, 2/10, would not bang.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Esoteric Simpsons quotes every other sentence seems to work tho.

I finished the HörrorStör novel today, and by god it was way more fun that it had any right to be. If, like me, you find IKEA to be a terrifying place where “modular, infinitely customizable, flat-pack do-it-yourself” furniture is marketed as somehow unique, you may well enjoy this novel. The first two chapters basically detail every horrible, optimzed-for-consumerism detail of an Ikea warehouse (named Orsk here, so as to avoid lawsuits and such, although the author does state they basically stole every idea Ikea ever had and amped it to 11), and the main character even gives a tour to new hires that sounds alarmingly like something I overheard in a college marketing course.

Then, about 1/3 of the way in, shit gets turned on its head and the whole place just goes apeshit. Filled with nifty little catalogue out-takes, personnel reviews, and various other world building elements shoehorned into the chapter titles, it’s a remarkably funny, self-aware, and enjoyable read. Much more polished than most first novels I’ve read recently, and a fuck ton better than that “The Killing Lessons” shite one of my friends pestered me into reading.

I give it an 8/10, and would make an awkward pass at it if I met the novel in a dim bar, even before having several drinks.

Doktor Zymm

After your mention of it previously, it’s now on my Amazon list. I have somewhere between 1.5 and 6 other books to get through before buying something new. The range has to do with my mood regarding a backlog of Ed McBain, some days just aren’t hard boiled.

Doktor Zymm

Also, did you read it Kindle version or paper? Seems like it might be important for this one.

entropy

Kindle, and it worked out just fine for me. After I reached 2500+ books in my house, I decided that my “HARDCOVERS ONLY” rule about books was getting silly, as well as structurally unsafe.

Doktor Zymm

Cheers to that. I’ve made an effort (somewhat successful) to limit myself to two bookshelves of physical books. Really, the main losers of me buying a Kindle are the staff and a couple of patrons at my local bar, who no longer get my used books that didn’t make the 2 bookshelf cut.

nomonkeyfun

I have a 225 sgft studio. On my bookshelves I’ve managed to squeeze 110 ft of books plus the other 200 I’d have on my kindle. Plus, the books piled up in my closet. I’m really proud of that accomplishment.

/Big fan of Libraries.

/Only has 48 ft of linear space, on bookshelves.

Good thing Ryan Murphy wasn’t allergic, epi pens are considered PEDs.

Doktor Zymm

I did really good at not yelling at strangers today when someone sitting near me during my lunch eating/beer drinking time proceeded to tell the bartender that “the reason people don’t like Cam Newton isn’t because he’s black, it’s because he celebrates too much.”

Also, someone in my field from the company I interviewed at on Friday turned himself in to the Chicago police yesterday for firing 9 shots off the rooftop of a building in Lincoln Park, which apparently prompted a SWAT team to show up. I’m assuming he’s probably fired, but it was only a 2 or 3 person department, so I’m not quite sure how this is going to impact their hiring process.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If he hadn’t turned himself in I would have congratulated you on a successful frame-job.

The Super Bowl should be played in Vegas. Now that I think about it, the entire NFL should be moved to Vegas, kinda like the UFC.
