EPL Weekend, To Cure What Fer Ails Ya

The Commentist Politburo got to talkin’ ailments this week, what with Culinary Legend Yeah Right’s knee getting all fucked. This is the true essence of life past 35 (the “injury/ailment” Maginot Line), you whippersnappers. Shit just blows on ya. Perhaps even whilst one sleeps. No activity is safe. For me, it’s the PeyPey neck, though other shit is also mild-to-moderately fucked. SO FAR.

So enjoy your couches, your booze, your drug(s) of choice. Father Time comes for us all. GET WELL SOON, ye bastard Small Bear fan.

And what does the EPL have to distract us with this weekend? SPOILER ALERT. Not much.

Arsenal remain 11 back of Foxy Footy, but with a game in hand…so THEORETICALLY 8. That theory faces a stiff test in 6th position West Ham in the early bird special (7:45, NBCSN). Arsenal must run the table to have any shot whatsoever. Falling back into their more familiar 4th is still much more likely.

The 10:00 window fucking sucks. NBCSN is showing Palace/Norwich, intriguing as…the 2 worst teams who WON’T get relegated?? USA has Soton taking on Newcastle, so one can laugh at the Barcodes, who surely ARE going the fuck down. Everton continue their tailspin into irrelevance at Watford, and Chelski face Swans on Extra Time. Meh.

Sunday brings a marginally interesting doubleheader. Leicester face relegation fodder (with a slight chance to escape yet again) Sunderland (8:30, NBCSN), followed by 2nd place Spurs and 5th place Manure (11:00, NBCSN). The margin between the top two is 7 points, and Foxy Footy have the far easier game – with only 5 contests remaining after Sunday. This could effectively end the race…but footy is a fickle mistress in such circumstances. Beware, Foxes. Beware.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

Listening to AFL. North Melbourne vs. Melbourne. It’s 42-1.

I was always afraid that there were surveillance cameras in my office on Monday mornings. Now I know.

How can so many people hate an episode of TWD that prominently features Trevor Phillips?

I take it back. The death scene at the end was fucking awful.

Wakezilla

It was awful and ultimately, it was a waste of a season.

Apparently Googling “Stoner Jesus” yeilds some hilarious results.

Yeah, in hindsight that should have been expected… expectedly hilarious!

That one’s actually pretty far down, but it was my favorite.

That was 16 years ago. Doesn’t look like it’s on the menu anymore.

All right, I am a bit of a covert tech nerd, but I’m more anal about keeping it organized than anything else.

Here are my favorite apps/programs to use on my computer (* = chrome specific)
1. LastPass – Make crazy long and complex passwords and this keeps it all together
2. ShutUp * – Can block comments on certain sites, remembers your preferences
3. Dark Reader * – Heaven for night reading on your eyes.
4. f.lux – Plug in your zip code and it adjusts the warmth and brightness of the screen depending on the time of day.
5. iObit Uninstaller – Goes deep when uninstalling programs, regular uninstall often has files linger.
6. inoReader – Once Google Reader went kaput, I tried a bunch of other ones (including one modeled on GR) and this one is one I have stuck with.

And as an aside, if any of you are t-Mobile subscribers you can get free MLB.tv for the season. Just search and set it up on your phone by tomorrow.

That is truly great stuff.

I’ve got things to uninstall.

herodotus450

But how will you uninstall the uninstallers?

Now all the Warriors have to do is survive yet another face-off against the Spurs tomorrow. Fuck.

Two of their most popular songs have the word “kid” in them?

This is such a great fucking band.
Their first album came out in 1971. They were incredibly pre new wave. Major influences on the glam rock scene. Too good.

Major influence for a little and yet unbroken yeah right.

Number 1: wrap it up.
