Your “Hey, What Are Y’all Up To Today?” Sunday Afternoon Open Thread

scotchnaut

/

,

Are you shivering with antici……..PATION? (borrowed from Tim Curry) I’m sure you are. But there are things to do before then, n’cest pas?  Perhaps you’d care to share with those that you know down below? Are you hosting? What’s your twist on that? As far as drinking is concerned methinks I’ll do a martini or two-just a little something to differentiate this day from the others.

Games-wise, all the leagues are smart enough to get the hell out of the way (later on) of the media juggernaut that is The Bowl. Clippers/Heat looks to be half-decent. The Flyers and Caps started at noon and it is hellishly-paced right now. Good Stuff. The college ball sends us #5 Iowa/Illinois, #17 Miami/GT, and #12 SMOO/USF. The last game of note, Utah and # 16 Oregon starts at 4pm, has two winning teams featured and should end right about when Lady Gaga steps up to the mike. WILL SHE BE WEARING EYEBLACK? That’s what I am curious about. GET AT IT, YOU LOVEABLE SCAMPS!

Right before I left, Jimmy asked me to pick my favorite song to hear in his bar. I finally admitted to him that Country Western is not really my favorite with the exception of Hank Williams III. Not wanting to befoul his place with a shitload of swears, I asked him to play this song…

Most painful Super Bowl loss. Go!

I have be a homer and go with the ’88 Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII.

Being 34 seconds away from upsetting 49ers in the middle of their 80s Dynasty. Knowing that just one thing could’ve gotten the Bengals a win and Paul Brown a Super Bowl championship as a owner before he past away. Tim Krumrie (nose tackle) breaking his leg. Stanley Wilson (short yardage running back) relapsing into his cocaine addition the night before the Super Bowl, which was played on a wet turf that Wilson excelled on. Lewis Billups dropping an interception that would’ve prevented the 49ers from tying the game in the 4th quarter.

Just wasn’t meant to be.

All the Donks (5!!) losses were pretty brutal, but 10-55 against the 49ers edges out the C HOX loss because 13 year old me took it a lot harder than 37 year old me. Though the C HOX loss was bad enough that I rooted for the Patriots the next year, so it’s close

Ugh the time zone change is fucking killing me. I feel exhausted while at the same time, I’ve slept so much that I am fucking stiff…and not in the good way.

No plans for the Superbowl as I was not sure I was going to be in the states in time. Started calling around and it sounds like all my chill coworkers are out on assignments. So basically I have the choice of drinking heavily and watching the game by myself or going over to this one guy’s house who tries and talk me into giving up my lunch break every day to go pray with him and a few others in one of the break rooms. I am incline to believe that this social event will be alcohol free.

So solo drinking it is!

Yeah, Asia to US is one of the nastier ones.

And it sounds like you’re making the right choice for the game. Though you also have the going to a bar option.

I am always pleasantly surprised by going to the local brewpubs. Attendance is nice and light and there’s usually a killer special. Best ever was Pats/Giants at Turtle Mtn. in Rio Rancho NM. A dozen Pats haters scattered about the joint, and a bucket (6) of brews and 10 wings for 20 bucks…bucket choices were domestic swill and, inexplicably, Rogue Dead Guy. Hmmm…tough choices…

JustStopDude

Oh no way in hell I am going over to that asshole’s house. Once he was telling one of my Indian coworkers a bunch of utter crap about the Catholic faith…like every fucking stereotype that you hear from Southern Evangelicals.

I basically explain to my Indian coworker what Brad was screwed up on. Brad tells me I am wrong. I explain to Brad how as a child, I was required to translate the Vulgate and read the Talmud as a child and I think I got a pretty good handle on Christian dogma (my father was a Jesuit Priest when he met my mother).

Two days later, I get notified by HR that a complaint was sent there way about me proselytizing. Brad is a putz.

Some people, Fine Bros. decided to trademark “React” so they could create a website about react videos.

I shared a post of the MST3k ‘are you ready for some football?’ clip on FB with a brief prediction (for the Broncos, pain) and my one Pats fan friend responded ‘Can’t they both lose?’

That brief whine has made my day.

Agreed. Listening and watching The Boston sports media whine all week has been hilarious and annoying. They don’t seem to realize the reason people hate this team is because of the WEEI, Sports Hub, Boston Globe, Scott Zolak, Bill Simmons crowd. When they’re 6-10 again soon hopefully we will never hear from them again.

Got informed about a new music thing called “Viral Radio” today, and I’ve spent the last few hours mucking about with that. When I say “new,” I mean, of course, “new to me,” and it’s only ten years old or so, so ancient in Internet Years. But the start of the stream from January 23rd is weird and ominous and seems to signify bad things to come, which seems perfect for Superb Owl 50 Sunday. Give it a listen:

http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/programme/viral-radio

Also: drawing more of that weird little monster thing and having a blast doing so. I should have come up with a Signature Character YEARS ago, would have made some kind of money off it by now.

Season 1 was early episode weirdness.
Season 2 was hit or miss.
Season 3 was when it started to become great.
Seasons 4 and 5 was at the shows peak.
Season 6 was pretty good. Not “shark jumping” but you’d could tell the show was running out of gas.
Season 7 was when it started to wind down.

It’s a general rule of thumb that the first season for any show is gonna suck (relatively speaking).

I made one of those ridiculous miracle saves as a goalie when I was 10 or 11. Everyone on both teams were stunned and temporarily stopped skating. The ref laughed and blew the play dead even though the puck was sitting in the corner.

The other time a ref laughed at me, I had made a glove save and motioned to throw the puck behind the net but my mitt went with the puck still nestled inside it.
