Basketball Coma Methadone – Saturday Shakes Edition

Only 8 games today. It’s like being behing the Iron Curtain, da, comrades? Anyway, CBS even gets all crafty, trying to sneak their “white kids doing it THE RIGHT WAY” suckoff into the middle of the deck. I call your fucking bluff, and still plan to read or take a nap. GO FUCK YOURSELF, ALL PARTIES INVOLVED.

11(T)S Wichita State vs. 3S Miami (12:15, CBS)

Whatever you do, don’t get your hopes up for a work of art. But do expect some solid PG play, and old school inside/out action. Gregg Marshall is an asshole (the extra “g” is a dead giveaway), but I’m glad one of these teams will make the Sweet Sixteen, as an interesting style contrast. And with the cousinfuckers in the dustbin (pours one out for WCS), Miami may be my favourite non-hopeless side left. That’s fucking sad, but true.

12W Yale vs. 4W Duke (2:45, CBS)

Just eat shit and die. Cold, alone, and unloved. Sacks of human excrement.

5E Indiana vs. 4E Kentucky (5:15, CBS)

I really enjoy the thought of how many drunken fistfights there will be over this game. Especially amongst peeps that have never been within spitting distance of either campus. If you haven’t read “Donnybrook” by Frank Bill…you really need to get off your ass and do so.

12MW Arkansas-Little Rock vs. 4MW Iowa State (6:10, TNT)

Finally, we get a channel flipping option! I really am looking forward to this game, too. If the Trojans pressure the Cyclones, this could turn into a wild, high-scoring affair. Fun basketball is fun. Iowa State has the weight of the Big 12 on its shoulders, because FUCK KANSAS.

9MW Butler vs. 1MW Virginia (7:10, TBS)

Tony Bennett had to have the world’s biggest shit-eating grin after Middle Tennessee knocked off his White Whale yesterday. And he doesn’t even have to worry about keeping his team focused, because Butler is shit.

9S UConn vs. 1S Kansas (7:45, CBS)

Two memes, only one can survive. Kansas the 800-pound gorilla, UConn the March savant. The Huskies certainly have the athleticism to make things interesting, and I sure as fuck hope they do.

11MW Gonzaga vs. 3MW Utah (8:40, TNT)

Indeed, the Zags finally lowered expectations enough that they could just play ball again. And they ran emotionally spent Seton Hall off the floor. Now they get the polite young men of Utah, who bear the weight of the Pac 12 on their shoulders, because FUCK OREGON. This should be fluid offensive basketball, and thusly pretty good teevee.

9E Providence vs. 1E U*NC (9:40, TBS)

Have I mentioned before that I fucking hate U*NC? Well, fuck you, I’m gonna mention it again. These shitstains on Satan’s bathhouse floor deserve every bit of seething rage I can throw at them and then some. Unless the Friars are whipping their sorry asses, I will go to bed after the Utes/Zags game ends, because I will NOT let a Hole win be the way I end my fucking Saturday. Hurry up and come around to bite, Karma…

Bottom Line: Yale is more evil and I had a bunch of shit stolen at a track meet at Yale.

Fuck Yale.

Unsurprised

Figures. Rich people can get away being thieves.

Sill Bimmons

It was a big co-ed invitational meet and we were set up closest to the Army teams, so…

Well….I’d also probably need to change my shorts.

I’m more happy you inadvertently cut out whatever that was falling into the upper right frame.
That shit was pissing me off.

That’s what I fixed.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted the butt bounce to be more fluid.
(giggity)

I didn’t even think of that. I’m weird.

Portlandians – I’m meeting up with some fellow Hawaii people to watch the game tomorrow at Coaches Grill/Pub/whatever in Cedar Hills. If y’all have nothing else planned at 4pm, swing by to talk story and drink beer. I ain’t ever been to this place, so I can’t promise it won’t be terrible.

Or just show up to heckle us.

Unsurprised

Awesome. I house sat for a guy who lives near there.

We need to poke OSZ. Maybe we can find Big Black Richard too.

Let’s see if they reply to private dick messages.

/r/fakeID is the funniest fucking subreddit I have randomly fell upon. Apparently its all underage kids complaining about their shitty fake ID’s not working that they bought online.

My coworker, he is a young guy, went to Duke. He used to get pissed off because the older coworkers would ask him where he went to school, and when he would tell them, no one would believe him.

He thought it was related to the fact that like myself, he is a mechanical engineer, working for a company made up mostly of computer and electrical engineers…so they were implying he wasn’t smart enough to go there.

I had to point out to him that its because interacting with him, you don’t want to ram your first into his throat.

A few weeks after that, he had a couple of friends in the local med school hang out with me and him. At one point during the night I think it finally clicked to him that the VAST majority of people he went to school with are fucking total tools.

And…it…is…done…

Looks like I am suppose to get $1700 back from the Fed…and I owe the state about $3300.

Yay….

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

How the hell did that happen?

Unsurprised

I assume JSD didn’t pay quarterly estimated tax payments to the states and has the misfortune to “live” in one with a state income tax. Miserable cocksuckers. I hate having to put up with this nonsense myself.

JustStopDude

Since I used to be a field engineer, the company would not pull state taxes out of my paycheck. Mainly because most of us either live out of state or out of the country.

Our payroll department is fucking idiots and I would rather have to cut a single check every year to the state as oppose to them fucking up repeatedly.

Remember, these are the same people that responded to a Nigerian phishing email about a month ago and everyone’s W-2’s ended up on a darknet exchange…

Unsurprised

Jesus, that’s depressing. Smart, but depressing.

Well, at least you only really have to write a check for $1,600.

To answer Moose’s question below the brilliantly named A Bracket Full Of Nuggets, from The Pirate Sloth, has the lead in the DFO bracket contest with 270 points. 5 people are tied at 260.

Did you know that if you don’t buy Zesty Cheese Doritos on a regular basis that after the first 3 bites they taste like crunchy chemical cheese?

Did you know that if you don’t buy Zesty Cheese Doritos on a regular basis your lifespan automatically increases by 4 years, statistically speaking?

JustStopDude

Ugh…I am trying to do my taxes myself…the first time since I was 18. They way it has worked for me in the past is because I do so much overseas work, my employer handles all of that. Well this year, from going crazy, I didn’t do enough overseas stuff to pay taxes overseas…so I have to do it myself.

On top of this, my W2’s were first wrong…and then the whole system got compromised. So my paranoia level is through the roof. I fucking hate tax season…not because I have to pay taxes. Just I am so fucking paranoid about screwing it up and getting audited.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I did mine, my mother’s, and my grandfather’s taxes last weekend. Was only marginally drunk so I think I’ll be OK.
FUCK THE IRS!!!!!!
/strike team breaks down the door, works me over

Horatio Cornblower

Hire a tax preparer. When my wife started working as a self-employed, (and over-worked/underpaid), real estate agent the commission set up and various write-offs she had just made it too complicated for me to want to fuck around with. Costs us about $350 a year and it is money well spent.

theeWeeBabySeamus

When I owned my own businesses I did. Did the whole monthly CPA fees and end of year tax prep bonus fees. But not that I’m just a bum fuckoff, it’s not a problem.
Worst thing this year (which really wasn’t bad at all) was my father dying and having to figure in all the death benefits my mother received.
Turns out, because of the Bailey settlement, they weren’t taxable anyway.

theeWeeBabySeamus

*now…not not…I am totally a fuckoff bum. Know it, live it, love it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, I’ve had to move to “I’m asleep” or “I’m drunk”. The latter of which works really well when someone wants me to drive them somewhere.
/and is often not a lie

Every time I see Radko Gudas start shit, I think it’s Jordan Peele about to do a hockey sketch. http://images.hngn.com/data/images/full/169590/philadelphia-flyers-defenseman-radko-gudas.jpg

I’m unclear on the debate particulars here, but you win.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well, like every politician I am also unclear of the parameters of any debate, however the most I can contribute is a counter-balance to the visage of one Radko Gudas.

I don’t think that’s Jordan Peele OR Radko Gudas.

Yeah, originally I thought to have it this weekend and realized that was unthinkable.

scotchnaut

Hippo, if you’re going to read *shudder* (kidding!) you may want to check out Is Fat Bob Dead Yet? by Steven Dobyns. Done from the third-person omniscient perspective it’s got everything you need-passive-aggressive police detectives that can’t stand each other, a homeless guy that thinks he has a tail, philosophical musings on motivation and randomness, a group of folks trying to wrestle money out of ex-prom queens and Beagle owners, Harleys…I could go on and on.

/pick it up and you’ll not be able to put it down

laserguru

I will accept all book recommendations thrown my way.
I’m going through a challenging read right now, John Irving’s Avenue of Mysteries. It’s good but it’s a bit of a slog to get through.
Don’t get me wrong I fucking love John Irving he’s easily one of my favorite authors and his previous book Last Night in Twisted River was one of the greatest books I’ve ever read but this one…
His book A Son of the Circus was kind of the same as this. I get what you’re saying John but it’s just not resonating.
Oh well I have have books on the way from Amazon including the last of the unread Cormac McCarthy so I’ll survive.
