Gotta admit to you folks-I thought I was past hangovers. That’s not the case. Wooooo? Obviously hair of the dog has been engaged and it’s almost working (unlike me). I’ve taken in Bridge of Spies and my hot take(s) is 1.) apparently black folks were vacationing from 1957-63-good for them!. It’s about time that Every Single One of them were able to get away for a bit, and 2.) well-crafted movies are mistaken for ‘good’ movies and it’s driving me round the Tim Horton’s Drive-Thru bend. Everyone knows that principled folks get vilified, undercut, silenced, mocked, pensioned off, sent to metaphorical Siberia or otherwise disposed of. That’s the way it is. Also, this Donavan lawyer protagonist guy had a documented intelligence background.
[tries to regain composure] The NBA trots out one only game worth the visual, 34-16 Raptors against the 27-25 Pistons. The NHL, as usual, gives us the quality many times over-NJ/NYR, ANA/PIT. FLA/DET and TB/OTT are all aching for your (eye) balls. College features #13 Louisville and UNRANKED Duke. Also, #24 Texas takes on #3 Oklahoma. All-in-all, not a bad sportsy-type night. Just don’t type very loudly-the headache has not fully abated just yet…
Okie doke…time for late nite cooking and Deadwood or The Americans ep. I’m running out of available episodes of both, but there will be more Americans in a little over a month so it probably gets the nod. I am trying to ration Deadwood like a crackhead on a desert island….which is to say not well. But I’m trying.
Nite gents.

Hey, might have really found my boat. No chicks included, but price is right, less than 10 yrs old (almost…it’s an ’06) and well cared for from the look, and only an hour away. Might be driving to Greensboro in the next day or so to have a look.

You should get a Range Rover. It’s like a car and a boat. It’s got air intake valves.
It’s always fun to see Dennis go psychotic, regardless of the reason.
This week’s ep is apparently a Virtual Reality Frank. I cannot wait.
What will you use it for, out of curiosity?
The implication.
My mother lives on a lake and my niece is now getting to the age where she can enjoy it. Want to be able to teach her how to ski, as well just zoom her around, Caddyshack marina style, pissing off the other lake residents….the way I used to when I was younger.
Nothing fancy. Just fun.

Have you seen The Great Outdoors?
https://youtu.be/FvYtbd7YE3k
Ah, the 80s. When they didn’t try to pretend the stunt double was the actor.
Also, the hot townie is now an energy lawyer in Denver.
I had seen it, but honestly had forgotten. That’s awesome.
What’s he saying???? Go Faster!!!!!
LMAO
Have you got a good name picked out?
So, we’ve mentioned that Riley Cooper got released by the Eagles, right? What’s the pool for when the 49ers pick him up? Put me down for Wednesday at 10:36 AM.
But he’d be such a great fit in Oakland.
According to a text I sent to my buddy in Philly, I said around noon Thursday.
Friday at 7pm est is my guess
Holy shit, OU-Texas has been a great one.
Shit, I been wasting time on ND/Clemson.
Ha…eat a dick Shaka Smart.
Loved him at VCU, despise the idea of having to play him multiple times a year.
He kinda spurned us during our last coaching search. Actually, I think it was more to do with the missus from what I’ve heard.
Honestly, I got no beef with him. Just fun to be a hater sometimes.
Exercise is good
Indeed.
Yoga pants also do not suck.
If I only had the time and sugar daddy to afford me the opportunity to spend three hours a day in the gym and various aesthetic “procedures.”
3 hours? Seriously, it’d be closer to 6-8
Generally I am more into the petite and not excessively curvaceous types, but JEEBUS!!!!

I’ve found my boat. It is likely too big and will never NOT run aground in the lake in question, but I won’t need to be going anywhere for awhile from the looks of it.

With that lineup on my bow, hopefully it cannot report crimes against nature.

Anybody else around here into cameras/photography?

http://40.media.tumblr.com/f432f26c28c8c182eab28fb48d4644c8/tumblr_nqrp71WHbB1tvd2m6o1_540.jpg
The story is that she started out as a photographer, then someone pointed out she was on the wrong side of the camera. Duh.
Good advice.
Good advice. Now she’s married to some German douche.
I still have a spot somewhere down in the depths for VZ.
Kind of, but my brother’s a photographer.
Cool. I’d love to get to the point where I could actually call myself a photographer.
As it is, it’s a passion, but a hobby nonetheless. Rare day I don’t pull it out tho.
The camera, I mean.
The picture-taking part is such a small part of what he spends his time on that I’m not sure I’d want to be in his place. Most of the job is networking and prepping and then he gets paid better to edit other people’s photos. He was invited to go to San Francisco last week to cover the circus, but it wasn’t worth the hassle.
Then again, what do I know?
Makes sense. When I was out in PHX area, there was a lot of natural scenery which was cluttered by urban sprawl. I’d spend hours sometimes photoshopping out the scrap. Lots of eye strain and headaches, and I was only doing it as a hobby.
But damn…free trip to the circus????? Suhweeeet!!!!!
Well, by “circus” I meant a magazine was getting him a pass so he could be one of the million photographers shooting on spec along Radio Row or side events before the Super Bowl. So it wasn’t worth the hassle or the cost to him just to maybe sell back something after fronting the costs to stay in San Francisco during SB week.
Understood.
Cool. I have absolutely no appreciation for context online.

Famous Jameis getting all jelly.
Last night I thought the Willem Dafoe/Marilyn Monroe commercial was funny.
Tonight, I am sober (enough) to notice Willem Dafoe’s legs…and will now never unnotice them.
Please Snickers….please retire this one quickly.
That one freaked me out the second I saw it.
You sir, were obviously not drunk enough last night.
PuppyMonkeyBaby is way more disturbing tonight as well.
Has everyone seen these “The Internet is Freaking Out About This Hot Super Bowl Ref ZOMG” posts today? Do we have an official take from makeitsnow?
Who wants smoothies??
http://media.fyre.co/MVsJlzBIRzqHFv8xGseO_Hank.jpg
As much as I despise the Rangers, this never fails to make me laugh.
Boo.
So Rise of the Tomb Raider is fun.
I will see Deadpool. I will likely enjoy it as a pure source of mindless entertainment. I give no fucks what anyone may think of it. Come at…someone who cares, I’m watching this damnit.
I’m going. Possibly multiple times.
My wife wants to watch it for Valentine’s Day. I am very pleased with this. I think it’ll be good, not great. I just hope it does well in the theater because I want more R rated Superhero films
Amen.
I’ve met one of the writers (Rhett Reese) a couple of times and he’s a nice fellow, so I’m hoping for the movie to succeed. He’s a really big Stanford fan. Like, bigger than Carly Fiorina big.
I’m sorry, I didn’t know that there was some kind of anti-Deadpool minority in the world. I, too, will see this movie and offer no apologies for it (which seems to be the general consensus here). I have your back should anyone take umbrage.
It’s that sometimes you just want entertainment. No thinking, no deep meaning, no struggle of the soul. And it feels like you have to rationalize or justify it.
I’m done with that shit. I saw revenant. Why?
No, seriously…why? Why did I see it? Make no mistake, twas purdy, but I left feeling cheated of any joy or satisfaction. If I wanted that, I’d still be married to the first wife. I demand entertainment.
6 months until meaningful footed ball. God. Damn. It. It may be a big dumb brainless beast that’s going to kill itself. But it’s ours.
I think whatever was bothering Crosby isn’t bothering him as much thees days.
He got laid.
Take note, charmslinger!
Any ideas what may have been going on in his personal life? I think with him, it was playing a shitty defensive system and getting obstructed. But maybe something else was at play?
No idea, just glad whatever it was is over.
I maintain he was hurt, but the organization kept it quiet.
So, are we going to get any Ice football posts to help satiate our blood thirst in the offseason?
I’ll start next week.
YOU HAD ONE JOB LOUISVILLE
http://cdn.emgn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/EMGN-You-had-one-job-fails-10.jpg
Well its the Offseason, but at least it WrestleMania Season. Raw should be good.
(reads Daniel Bryan is retiring)
God damn it.
Raw has been pretty boring and the crowd has been kinda shitty.
Yup. Vinny Mac is making us earn Daniel Bryan.
Do The Ponies ever go on hiatus?
Yes. The last episode ended on November 28th with the villain from the season joining the Mane Six. Season 6 doesn’t start until sometime in the spring.
The produces enjoy trolling the fans.
Ice Giants 2-0 Ice…jets? Are the Devils the Ice Jets?
I assume the fandom has some overlap.
Love that episode.
No, the Isles are the Ice Jets. They’re the Ice Hitmen/Generals, because I asked that a few days ago.
Which would make the Jets the Ice Blue Bombers?
This is all getting very confusing. More alcohol might help.
Jets are the Ice Bluebombers
I need flashcards.
Super Bowl Eve calls for this bottle of 2013 Fifty-Fifty Eclipse, I think.
Almost Famous is the only good Cameron Crowe movie because it’s (relatively) authentic.
I don’t know, I was looking forward to him directing Cate Blanchett in that adaptation of Suffragette City.
Panthers and Red Wings locked in a stalemate.
Ice REDBLACKS beating the Ice Buccaneers so far. Maestro is beering happily.
Nice to see Crosby scoring again. Although, had he gone the whole year without doing much, maybe the NHL would be more inclined to call obstruction next year.
Stomping them.
Getting this instead of anything useful.
Well with how long it’s been charging (since I got home at 5:30-ish), and the charging whenever I’ve been a room since after lunch, my phone may be DOA. So that’s annoying.
It has to tell you if it’s a cop.
This kinda reminds me of the Golem episode from way back.

Ice Rams are losing tonight, but, I’m still trying to figure out how the shit they are not only in 3rd place, but seemingly have created distance between them and the rest of the pacific division. Perry is their top scorer and he’s like 55th in scoring. Getzlaf has been dog shit.
Ice Rams is funny on two levels.
STL Blues do not like this -1
I’d go Ice Chargers. Let the Kings be the Ice Rams. The Blues can be the Ice Ex-Rams.
Given their arena, they should be the Ice Kiss.

Can I just say how proud I am of DFO for posting over 1000 comments for yesterday’s game. Even the live blog wrestling threads don’t even come close to those anymore.
West Philly on X-Files!
Homeless abuse draws instant karma apparently.
From….a garbage man….? Kinda….?
Flashbacks to MST3K’s Escape 2000.
I wish Dana’s sister Melissa was still around. She was a hottie.
Oh, I should mention this here; was a fun fantasy football-ish gambling thing to do that some folks might like to try next year:
Take the ten best offensive players (RB’s, WR’s, TE’s, + Cam Newton in this last one cause of all the rushing touchdowns) and put their names in a hat. Each person puts in $5, picks a name. There is a marker of some kind (in our case we used an old Mardi Gras necklace). When one of the named players scores a touchdown, their owner gets to wear the necklace. When another named player scores, the necklace gets passed on to that owner. Whoever has the necklace at the end of the game wins the money.
Stuck watching NHL Tonight locally because NY/NJ is the national game on NHL Network and I’d rather gouge my eyes out with a ball peen hammer than watch that Abomination Of Suck.
And yet here I am pirating this game because I dont get NHL network. Womp Womp
I can’t figure out how to get it.
All the old sites are registration-only now and I’m just not all that keen on giving a bunch of Belorussian content thieves my personal info.
There are sites out there that I used to go to before I bought NHL gamecenter. For NHL Network games someone always posts a link to a stream in the Rangers subreddit
Yea, Fuck the Rangers
How about some Hockey?
Pens are up 2-0 on the Ducks in the first.
C-Tates was fantastic in Hail, Caesar!
Oscar buzz for next year.
REALLY? You OUTGREW hangovers???
Goddamnit, I had fairly legendary ability to drink without payback, as long as I didn’t break the rules “beer then liquor, never been sicker” remembered to hydrate before bed, and STAYED THE FUCK AWAY FROM VODKA.
Then I hit 25. Gone. All gone. More than a mild buzz? HANGOVER. Actual drunkenness? FULL DAY, WISH FOR DEATH hangover.
Thusly, I drank not a drop yesterday. I could bask in the afterglow of Von and Wade’s raw sexiness.
Oh, I remember 25. That was a good yea… wait, what was I doing then?
/get off my lawn
I only remember because it was so painful. Lost my fucking metabolism (I could eat entire pizzas for dinner, never gain a pound) around same time.
Now I’m 42. Many other things have been lost. Need to get around to buying that gun ,, smgdh.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/c7a3f3df314f701369318497e245661e/tumblr_mipnlqsTWf1s4vbymo1_400.gif
42? I remember 42. It wasn’t bad.
Interesting. Vodka is about the only thing that almost never gives me a hangover no matter how much gets poured down the gullet (within certain boundaries of course). Darker liquors, and darker beers if over consumed, make me feel as if I have been pithed with a rusty icepick…regardless of preventative measures taken.
Truth be told, I miss weed. Sober in two hours unless I want to re-up for more. Always wake up feeling great.
I read that in one of my Rooskie books, that vodka supposedly doesn’t hang them over, just numbs you out the next day? But maybe was because I was doing the screwdriver thing.
Anyway, I puked or had the dry heaves every 10 minutes from 7am til 5pm the next day (Super Bowl Sunday, 1991!) and subsequently went on the wagon the rest of the semester to check myself.
On the occasions I grossly over do the vodka, I do wake up feeling….odd. Not sick exactly, but not entirely right either. Hell, much like yesterday, it might just be that I’m still drunk in those instances.
Usually a bucket load of caffeine smooths it out. Or, like yesterday, 3 additional hours of sleep on the back end.
Oh, forgot to mention that it seems odd that the OJ would make it worse, but it is true that I generally only sip it straight, and chase with highly caffeinated beverages. Usually Monster Energy.
OJ is too acidic and has too much sugar.
Pretty much the best thing you can do for a hangover is drink a couple Alka–Seltzer in double the recommended amount of water while you’re making yourself a plain yogurt smoothie with some fruit in it.
…3 additional hours of sleep on the back end.
Or as Albert Haynesworth calls it, practice.
About two weeks ago, I was out of vodka and wasn’t in a beer mood. So I decided to do the slow sip thing with bourbon. Hadn’t even finished the equivalent of a shot before the icepick in the back of the head kicked in.
Which really pissed me off, btw.
I never got hungover, right up to the end.
Made it pretty easy to be a drunk.
so…your pain receptors were naughty enablers!
That Sex Panther beer left me like Cyril:

New X-Files on FOX at 20:00, too.
Oh, I forgot.
/checks dvr schedule…dvr is smarter than I, it did not forget.
Huge oversight in the post above–
Women’s ball-wise, #1 22-0 UCONN plays #2 22-0 South Carolina. It might be worth a looky-loo.
Agreed. Thanks for the reminder.
So…UConn will only win by 20 instead of the standard 40?
So far, it’s looking to be closer to 40.
Oh, and does SCar call them the “Lady ‘Cocks”?
Hose yourselves down, cause this take is coming in HOT.
I desperately wanted Cam Newton to beat the Broncos yesterday, for both selfish (I hate the Broncos) and less selfish (it’s entertaining to hear people bitch about Cam Newton’s “classlessness”) reasons. Instead, he blew it. Not necessarily on the field – Denver’s defense was amazing and pretty much won that game single-handedly – but in the press conference, where Cam managed to validate all the bullshit the pearl-clutchers have been slinging at him all year long.
It would be one thing if, like Marshawn Lynch, Cam refused to play along with the sports press and their bullshit games. But he’s been thrilled to do the happy dance for them all year long when he was winning and wanted their attention. And yesterday, when it came time to do the sad dance, he wasn’t willing to fulfill his end of the bargain. He could have given some credit to his opponents, who sure as hell deserved it, or even just tossed off a few platitudes about how motivated he is to come back next year and try again. Instead, he turned tail and fled. Goddamnit coward.
I think the word ‘coward’ is too strong. As a complete nobody, I’m soooooo thankful that all of my mistakes as a 22-26 year old were not played up/commented on by the national media.
/if he turns out to be the immature, petulant type so be it-I’m wrong. I don’t think that’ll be the case however.
The thing is, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t cast any judgement on refusing to suck the press’ collective dick after the toughest loss of your career. But that’s the bed that Cam made for himself, and he refused to lay in it when bedtime came around.
He will learn. It was a mistake. Like when PeyPey stormed off the field without shaking Breesus Christ’s hand (naturally, He forgave him, for he knew not what he did) after his first SB loss. For an intensely competitive person…they absolutely go on full tilt.
I imagine Cam Newton at 36. With a little grey in a hipster beard (side bet he lost with Von Miller), looking back on the 2 Super Bowls he won, and the 2 he lost. He will have more perspective then. And I bet he will call Peyton Manning one of his closest personal friends. They are, beyond the introvert/extrovert thing, wired VERY similarly as competitors and students of the game.
I agree on the “You take the good with the bad, be a pro and face the music”. (Boy, clichés are a time saver when talking ’bout media.) But I don’t think every question deserves an answer, especially those of the “What were you feeling…”, “Please put into words your dejection…” and other mindless, filler claptrap.
I admit to losing respect for Cam going full-Sith glare and go. But that’s on me; those press conferences are only pageantry.
I felt a little let down, but I wasn’t surprised.
He’ll get smarter.
Notre Dame and Clemson play in a rare matchup tonight as well.
Rare because they’re both relevant and it’s not football.
This is just a treasure-trove of awesome:

A top-ten Elisha face.
Even from the perspective of a skybox he doesn’t know what’s going on on the field.
So great.
I haven’t seen someone in a luxury box reach around and grab someone’s chest like that since…when was the last Cowboys game?
I am currently (checks account) 105 of 272 on the hold list for Bridge of Spies through my local library.
I missed the post game press conferences (but already know about Cam). Did anyone bother to ask Riverboat Ron why Sandra Bullock’s character didn’t storm in at halftime or anytime during the second half to give Michael Oher a pep talk about survival skills? I hear he scored in the 90th percentile and was just wondering why he and the other O-linemen were trying to get Cam killed.
It was because last night, Von Miller and Demarcus Ware were in the 98th percentile of Cam murder and 99th percentile in dream stomping.
God damn. That’s brutal (but fair).
Bridge of Spies sucked. Just watch Mad Max again (or Sicario).
Sicario was soooooo much better than anticpated. I highly recommend it.
I enjoyed the hell out of it too, actually. More than I thought I would.
And to further it, I just watched Cartel Land, the documentary on two groups resisting drug cartels. Fantastic watch on Netflix.
I knew it would be good, but I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. The best way I can describe it to those that haven’t seen it yet: “Sicario does not fuck around.”
Mad Max just finished playing for me in the background. Great movie.
Saw Hail, Caesar! today, was pretty good.
Agree. I don’t know that I could call it a great movie, but I had a hell of a lot of fun watching it… if that makes sense.
Not weird at all. You’ve just described at least half of my all time favorites.
Even though I saw the “Would that it’were so simple” scene in the trailer 100 times before, I still laughed my ass off when it came around in the movie. George Clooney getting slapped around for spouting propaganda was pretty damn funny too.
