I am de-motivated as fuck. This would be Derby Day, but the fucking Redshite are in the League Cup final against City, so the match got postponed. Thusly, I have fuckall to look forward to this weekend.
With City on the sidelines, all eyes focus on the main three title contenders. Leicester get recently less shitty Norwich (10:00 EST, NBCSN) as they cling to a precarious 2 point lead. Southampton and Chelski is a decent secondary option in the window, surprisingly only on Extra Time.
Tied for 2nd Spurs (ahead on goal differential) and Arsenal each play on Sunday. Annoyingly, the matches aren’t spaced out, with each starting at 9:05. Spurs vs. Manure gets NBCSN, with Arsenal/Swans relegated to Extra Time. Altogether, a really shitty job of coverage for a weekend with only 8 fixtures thanks to the League Cup.
Anyway, my old man neck hurts, and I have nothing interesting to say. Sorry kids. Enjoy the footy.

Frampton-Quigg is the WORST fight I have ever seen.
By the by, do we have any scorching hot taeks from the scouting combine that don’t have to do with hand size?
All I’ve learned is that hand size doesn’t matter, until it does, then it’s vital. But maybe not, because it’s not truly indicative of success.
I am watching the UK unification boxing match and even on tape delay it is boring as shit. Jesus Fuck throw a goddam lunch already.
“punch.” Throw a goddamn PUNCH already.
Ola fellow shut-ins.
Due to my wife doing me the nice favor of serving as a beer mule so that I could get double the per person allotment Treehouse beer, (here’ s link; they’re not paying me for this I just really like the beer: http://treehousebrew.com/), and standing outside in subfreezing weather in a 40 minute line to do it, I have to stay sober until 10 pm to give some kid a ride home.
Sooooooooooo, what do you guys do on a Saturday that doesn’t involve beer?
There’s always opiates.
Been fairly indoors today, mainly drumming to get ready for Monday and catching up on some work, so the lady and I are about to go grab a drink and a bite so we can say we participated in society today. Then I’ll probably come back here to see what tunes WCS is spinning in the wee hours. Yes, my life is riveting.
I do not care if you are a champion boxer, if you weigh 122 pounds I am not worried about your hitting power.
Like the world’s most vicious pomeranian.
I am happy that the Holes are losing, but unfortunately that means Wahoowa is also winning. East Coast hoops douchebaggery, tis a bitch goddess.
Also, Burt’s Bees Honey & Pomegranate throat lozenges are really fucking good.
Also also GOOD HUSTLE HillyBob and South Cakalaky black folks!!!
Questions :
Is this today’s open thread?

Watching “Platoon” high for the first time ever is opening up some doors.
1. The scene where Chris gets high for the first time was almost exactly like mine if it had taken place in Vietnam instead of a fraternity house in Easton
🙁 Vietnam is seriously the most fucked up thing we’ve ever done to our soldiers
?~ We’ve re-established that Storm Troopers aren’t clones. That fantastically stupid bullshit, along with all the other fantastically stupid bullshit Lucas brought to the prequels, has been gloriously shitcanned now and forever. That being said, the stupidest thing of all in the prequels is armoring the Clone Troopers. Why would you care whether or not your clones lived or died? THEY’RE FUCKING CLONES. Armoring each individual clone must have cost the Republic an obscene amount of money, all to protect a prefabricated and inexhaustible source of cannon fodder. Is it because they didn’t want the enemy to be confronted with a giant sea of exploding Jango Fetts? GAHHHHHHHHHHHH THE PREQUELS ARE AN AFFRONT TO EVERYTHING
I also got high for the first time in Easton, just not at a fraternity house.
I did once fight an entire fraternity house at Lehigh, though. That was a bad night. I was doing OK until they remembered they were under no obligation to fight one at a time.
You should illustrate my graphic novel.
I should write your graphic novel.
I’m going to try to send you a DM.

I’ve said it before, I might say it again…the last half hour of Predator (almost no dialogue) is a brilliant piece of film-making.
I will not disagree.
It is still one of my favorite movies.
Not just favorite horror or monster or whatever movies.
Some good dialogue as well, though.
“Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.”
“Me too, mine’s as big as a house.”
“I said, ‘Geez, you got a big pussy! Geez, you got a big pussy!’ She says, ‘Why did you say that twice?’ I said, ‘I didn’t!'”
“…cause of the echo…”

Just got back from hiking and post-hike beer drinking with a couple of friends. There are two bald eagles that have taken up residence at the lake near our house. I bring the camera and zoom lens with me today to get photos. We walk out to the boat launch, which is an entire lake away from the dead trees Mr. & Mrs. Eagle hang out in. Put the binoculars on the trees and confirm they’re both there.
Now the plan is to hike through the woods and get closer to them and getting some really good shots. Just to be safe I decide to put the zoom lens on now and get them from the boat launch, which again is a couple hundred yards from the trees.
I put the camera bag down, attach the lens and am starting to get back up when my friend, who has had the glasses on them the whole time, says “Man, you’re gonna be pissed in a second.”
They took off pretty much just as I attached the lens. Fucking eagles man.
Tomorrow I’m gonna canoe out to those trees and coat them with DDT.
— Santa Claus
We have several hawks that hang out in the general vicinity. I’ve gotten shots of them occasionally, but more often than not I have the same experience.
I have to tell you, it really pisses me off.

Ice Blue Bombers 0 — 0 Ice Stillers end 1st.
Gonna come right out and say it: The Patriot League does not deserve an automatic berth in the tournament.
The quality of play in the conference this season has been positively vomitous. There are STILL no 20-game winners and the MINIMUM number of losses is twelve. 12! THREE DIFFERENT TEAMS HAVE LOST TO LAFAYETTE
If Army and Navy weren’t holding up basketball and Fordham wasn’t holding up football the Patriot League would rightfully have descended into D-III obscurity at least a decade ago.
‘Deserves got nothin’ to do with it’ might be my favorite line from any movie ever.
Definitely in my top 3-5.
Up by 7 with 5 and a half left.
/Cuse always ALWAYS makes it difficult

Amsterdam, the night of 6th December 2000.
I am unable to sleep, as my hotel room is right on the Damrak and things are quite noisy outside. It’s both a Champions League and UEFA Cup weekend, and the fans currently disrupting my slumber are ManUre fans celebrating their inevitable away curb-stomping of Sturm Graz by being typical English tourists.
I make my way to The Smoking Bull on the Lange Niezel, a small street that connects the north ends of the Red Light canals. The Bull is (was, I guess) a favorite because it’s one of the few places where you can get both a smoke and a drink.
http://www.dutch-coffeeshop-guide.nl/wp-content/uploads//2015/12/coffeeshop-smoking-bull-amsterdam-a0239398a6b8dbf05714cbf2f56893ed.jpg
It’s pretty late, and there are only a couple other small groups in the bar. One of those groups is the two exact guys in the banner photo. Upon hearing me order these two decide that I’m their long lost American cousin and start buying me drinks. I find out that they’re brothers from Glasgow in town to “Amsterdam” the second leg of Rangers’ UEFA Cup tie with Kaiserslautern the following evening. Rangers are up 1-0 and these gentlemen are feeling good about their prospects for advancement.
Not being at all familiar with European football culture at the time I said something like “Oh, so this happens again tomorrow night?” One of them grabs me by both shoulders, looks me square in the eyes and says, “Bruvver, ye hav’ne seen NOOTHIN yet!”
He was right!
The following night shit just blowed up. I didn’t know you could fit so many shitfaced Rangers supporters into all of Glasgow, let alone central Amsterdam. Flags, puke, songs, puke, kilts, puke, bagpipers, puke, a burning car, puke. All night.
http://www.lettherebeneon.com/wp-content/gallery/open/all%20night.jpg
So It’s Sunday morning and I’m out to breakfast at Barney’s (best breakfast in Amsterdam)…
http://www.flyingpig.nl/whatson/images/barneys.jpg
…and five or six really rugged looking Rangers supporters walk in. They are seated next to me and I start asking them about the match the previous evening.
Not one of them knew who won or what the score was. Not. One.
For the record it was Kaiserslautern 3 — 0 Rangers, ending the Weegies short 2000 — 01 European run.
That’s a great story.
The European equivalent of WVU fans,
The roles of the cousins are played by sheep and various other barnyard denizens.
You better look out scotchy. We have lured your boys into a sense of security.
Sadly…it is not a FALSE sense of security.
Hello men, do we have the power to send out private messages? I can never get into my private message box to send one out.
Ice Argos continue to trade everyone away as Optimus Reim (and Jeremy Morin) has been traded to the Ice Raiders for Alex Stalock, forward Ben Smith and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
I’m not sure if this is a good move for the psychology of Jones. Us goalies are a super flakey bunch and this could shatter his confidence.
It’s ok…no need for PM. You can tell me publicly that you have a smoldering man love for me.
I hate (HATE!) the Leafs but your Lamirillo/Babcock combo are the first guys in umpteen years to realize that this requires a complete tear-down. It’s about time band-aid solutions weren’t treated as “business as usual”.

Happy to see that at least one sex doll has a career in the media. She’s so life-like!
Wife and I like to go to this nearby restaurant for slightly above average Taco Tuesday and the restaurant always has a Mexican channel on. It’s always amusing to see how most of the female anchors in sports or news are real life sex bots.
The sad ones with the bad surgery makes me sad. Also, it goes back to what Heidi Klum once said “Don’t get plastic surgery before 40. Because that’s when shit really hits the fan.”

That’s almost Shadrach Thornton territory.
