Your “Everybody’s Still Recovering” Monday Open Thread

I’m glad to see we all survived the weekend. Myself, on Friday I organized a pub crawl of some fine craft breweries before the final WHL game of the season – and possibly forever – in Vancouver. I Instagrammed the evening to allow my wife to observe that I wasn’t actually at peeler bars, and well as to remember the route in case I lost something. Then, to atone, it was relatives and cleaning all weekend, so I got to put my bracket in the bin next to some old Economist magazines.

There is no way in hell Gawker is going to have to pay out $140 million. I’m given to assume Florida is one of those states where juries go, “FUCK THE MAN!” and then it gets reduced on appeal?

Well, if he does get to keep it, maybe he can invest in some Cuban hotels once Obama lifts the embargo. It’s so cute to hear Marco Rubio defend the sanctions when not even people supporting him helped him hold off Trump. Hell – Donald should announce the new “Trump Habana” tonight.

Speaking of crazy, Trump picked Jeff Sessions of Alabama to be his key foreign policy advisor. I can’t wait to see the positions on key issues. Syrian refugees? ROLL TIDE! ISIS? ROLL TIDE! Illegal immigration? BURN DOWN AUBURN!

Well, enough talk,

The games! (All times eastern)

NHL:  (4 games total)

  • Panthers @ Rangers – 7:00
  • Flyers @ Islanders – 7:00
  • Kings @ Predators – 8:00

NBA: (9 games total)

  • Spurs @ Hornets – 7:00
  • Magic @ Celtics – 7:30
  • Warriors @ T-Wolves – 8:00

Finally, don’t forget that there’s a new “Better Call Saul” tonight. NO SPOILERS!

I know someone said their favorite Canadian ever was Phil Hartman, but there are so many it is difficult to choose. If I must choose, though, you’ve gotta go with:

I think that’s from Big Fish, a movie I love for some reason.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Correct sir. I like it because, while the screen play didn’t really bring the cinematography, visual style affects and the languid scenes that they lingered over made me appreciate it. You could watch it with music on and like it.

Sheeesh. Either my internet speeds are way down tonight, or I’ve picked up some badass malware.
If it’s the former, fuck you CenturyLink.
If it’s the latter, fuck you Norton….and maybe also porn.

OK, so I’m not saying that the character Kim (Rhea Seehorn) on BCS is unattractive, because she’s so not. But they really do go out of their way to….let’s call it “harden her edges”.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Had an interesting Monday back at work, after a four day weekend. Woke up to some serious indigestion, which I’m still dealing with, but decided against calling in sick.
Shortly after I got in, my boss called us all in to tell us that the new parent company of 3 months is showing our GM the door today. He’s the only one in upper management who gave a damn about our tiny division. However, after lunch, he called us in again to let us know his boss, who I can’t stand and very affectionately refer to as “Weasel Dick,” is leaving at the end of the month.
Anyway, the job hunt continues, cause the new parent company is pulling a Jed York and turning this place into a dumpster fire.

Word of lawyerly advice: start a series of fires.

Want to hear a crazier thing…He was cellmates with Lyndon LaRouche.

Sill Bimmons

Why doesn’t that surprise me?

JustStopDude

So during a break in training today, one of the Canucks asked me about guns. I informed him that I had never held one before despite spending 6 years in the military. This got the guy from Texas into an uproar.

Before I knew it, we just listen to him go off on a rant about how school shootings aren’t real and that Obama and Clinton are going to take everyone’s guns.

Sill Bimmons

I don’t even want to take their guns.

I just want them to have to wait to buy their guns, for them to carry liability insurance for their guns, and for them to leave their guns at home when they go for a burrito.

HOW WILL I DEFEND MY BURRITOS!?!?!?!

...

When I was in grad school, one of my classmates had just finished time in the Coast Guard where he had in a few instances carried a gun. I do not believe he ever fired it though.

This caught the attention of another one of my classmates who was rural Missouruh ammosexual who assumed if you ever even held a gun you agreed with every batshit guns are great argument ever made.

Naturally, this made for an interesting exchange where a gun lover struggled to grasp one could know how to use a gun safely but still be totally in favor of gun control of some sort.

Horatio Cornblower

“ammosexual” is so going to be overused by yours truly in the very near future.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Well, if that’s true, I hope they start with his.

King Hippo

Ah, Jamie Dixon PLAYED at TCU…which makes it at least 5% less insane to have committed career suicide like that.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, regarding the Gawker situation, my understanding is that they can (and intend to) appeal, but that requires either they post bond for the judgment amount (with a $50 million cap) OR they can just appeal without posting bond but then Hogan can actively start collecting the judgment (i.e. taking all their assets).

...

If only snark and bitchiness were a currency, they’d be set.

Horatio Cornblower

From what I’ve read, (not a lot), and know about Florida law, (even less), before anything gets done the jury has to decide whether or not to double or triple the award for punitive reasons.

Bodies getting dropped in Brooklyn. Gotta love Islanders-Flyers games.

We had a snow day today. So me and my friends built an 8ft tall snow penis in the backyard. Big balls, sticks for veins, sculpted shaft, everything. Had some laughs, took some pictures.
Then we got drunk and took out a BB gun-rifle and started shooting it. Then we put some shaken beer cans in it and shot it and the beer exploded, coloring the dick a yellow-brown hue.
Then we went inside, ate some carnitas that had been simmering in the crock pot all day, started watching Olympus has Fallen, and took a nap.
Now I am back home watching basketball.
It was a good day.

That’s a day well spent.

Sweet! I made it as far as Chinatown, but I was with family, so I couldn’t make it further east though i had heard about the craft beer scene on the east side and wanted to check it out.

Flipping through the TV, I see that Gothom show.

I’ve never really understood why Batman is a hero. I mean I LOVED the original TV show and its campy good fun…but I don’t get the darker version.

He is basically a rich psychopath beating the shit out of poor people for breaking societal norms and roles. Imagine what Bruce Wayne would do to Black Lives Matters protesters…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So for some reason I found myself looking at Chris Kattan’s twitter page, which was funny because it’s basically just him spewing hashtags and promoting his own shows in backwater shitholes* like Sioux City and Toledo which was very funny to me because I absolutely LOATHE him, but then I found out he’s the voice of Bunnicula, which was a treasured childhood story of mine, which makes me upset. And then I remembered that in the book Bunnicula doesn’t even TALK, which makes me even angrier that it’s voiced by Chris Fucking Kattan.

*No offence.
