Sweet Sixteen Thursday Preview/Game Thread

Sweet madre de Christ, did anyone else have these donuts in the local grocery store growing up? What a cherished, delicious binge and shame trip down memory lane this picture takes me down.

3S Miami vs. 2S Villanova (7:10, CBS)

A highly intriguing game, by my standards. Two methodical coaches, two sides that kind of get overlooked, for different reasons. I think Da U’s da toughness inside will be the difference, though if Nova shoots from outside like it did the first weekend, they are pretty much unbeatable.

3W Texas A&M vs. 2W Oklahoma (7:37, TBS)

Damn it, why did they have to schedule the TWO GAMES I AM MOST INTERESTED IN for the same fucking window? Team Bonfire Cult is living on borrowed time, after their bananas comeback, 2OT win over the Fightin’ Kurt Warners. Oklahoma has the lethal look a potential national champion to me (spoiler alert, if’n I had the slightest bit of prognostication ability), but this could be a tough game for them.

5S Maryland vs. 1S Kansas (9:40, CBS)

Maryland is REALLY lucky that Hawaii shot like total ass in the 2nd half. Because the Turtles otherwise played like, really fucking terrible. Hopefully, they bring the other half of their schizo selves, or the Hippo TV gets turned of super early. Kansas bores me to death.

4W Duke vs. 1W Oregon (10:07, TBS)

It’s nauseating that anyone has to win this game, though it’s of some comfort that Boomer Sooner should wipe their asses with either. I ain’t staying up to reluctantly cheer for a bunch of rape enablers, or possibly see fucking Ted Cruz, Jr. prevail. Huzzah for the Ducks cheerleading squadron, though.

My roommate passed her GMAT today, so it’s time to head to Booze Bros Brewing for a few, and to break out a year plus aged Oaked Yeti.

Why don’t we have Good Friday off again?

Gratliff

I do! And my kids don’t! Holy shit!

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Because Jesus died for your sins, not your pension.

But if I’m embezzling, can’t it be one and the same?

Good Friday should be the second-most important feast day in all of Christianity, yet it barely merits a mention on most church/municipal calendars.

Christianity: You’re doing it wrong.

Senor Weaselo

Evening folks. Today I learned that putting elementary school in a circle and telling them to perform basic self-defense techniques to the person in the middle can only end in fiasco. And attempted dick-punches. But then I was absolved of any bad decision-making by playing Holy Thursday services. (That’s how it works, right?)

And how are all of you?

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Tomorrow do they all stand in a circle and scream at one kid, “Crucify him!”

Senor Weaselo

Fortunately, schools are off tomorrow, so it’s not my problem.

One of the perks of being a woman in a male-dominated field, other women in the field tend to share interests, so I can have girly conversations about the NFL. My NFL playoff predictions last year were a crowdsourced effort between myself and two analysts, at least one of whom was picking based on who had the hottest QB. I work at a larger, but still very social, company now, and women in all roles are open to learning about the AFL.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Well I am an asshole so that complicates things.

Doktor Zymm

Not really, it’s the concentration of OTHER assholes you have to worry about.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Actuaries seem to get left the fuck alone though so it sounds good.

Doktor Zymm

I like a middle ground between asshole and boring as sterile dirt, but that takes time and actuarial is not a bad option.

B) That cut, while attractive, would make anyone constantly feel that they should be pulling up their pants. This is worse in the case of most women, since most pants are tailored for people without waists, and therefore require a belt if you want to avoid going full on plumber every time you sit down.

OY!! Little help here please? I am trying to remember the details of a parody/spoof commercial that I saw online a few years ago. This was the setup (as I remember it):

2 boys are playing with their He-man like “action figures” and wish it was real. They get transported to a life-like version of the fantasy world and it turns out that it’s much darker than the cartoon version they were imagining. I think one of the kids gets liquidated. Anyone know what this was on or where it was from?

Thank you Yahoo! Answers. You’re my only hope.

I’ve never had Wing Street wings and I’m sure they’re terrible, but with their slogan of “No Pants Required” I think we should at least *consider* them as the official wings of DFO.

Doktor Zymm

There are lots of things that are no pants required, but just don’t explicitly state it. After all, what does “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service” imply? IT IMPLIES NO PANTS IS OKAY.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

It implies I know what I want! 🙂

Sill Bimmons

They’re actually not that bad.

If I gave them to you and didn’t tell you where they were from you’d think they were OK wings from a local pizza place.

The one near my house is really bad; but my suggestion would be not wearing pants when not ordering from there.

I love popcorn. My senior year in college I split a tiny studio apartment in Manhattan with a friend of mine. There was no space in the kitchen for a microwave, which was fine, since neither of us owned a microwave anyway. It was at this point that I learned how to make superior oil-popped popcorn. Microwave popcorn is a whole lot of science (mostly to do with the bag coating) that saves very little effort for an inferior product. It’s perfectly acceptable if you don’t have a gas range (electric is a pain in the ass) but I don’t understand why anyone with a gas range would do microwave popcorn. And fake butter? SMGDH.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

You’ve humbled me with your scathing critique of my microwave popcorn habits.

Doktor Zymm

I’m raising awareness!

If that were true you would lose weight while eating a diet consisting only of ever increasing amounts of those chips. Which might be true for all I know.

I’m hoping this year’s tournament is something like that. So we’ve got Northern Iowa, then Texas A&M, so it looks like Oklahoma is on track for an absurd victory.
