Your “Pre-Holiday Weekend” Thirsty Thursday Open Thread

NFL News & Notes:

  • A notion considered hilarious just two years ago, some sites are now projecting the Raiders to win the AFC West. No one wants to put odds on that though, as it might hamper the chances for a move.
  • More talk on the Vegas front involving the Raiders. According to SI, bowl cut enthusiast Mark Davis has to square away the funding commitments before he even approaches the relocation committee.
    • If she’s not busy.

      You can sure tell Mark Davis isn’t his old man. because in his prime Al would have moved the team, said “fuck you” to Goodell, tried to bed Jones’ mistress, and then sued the ever-living hell out of anyone who raised their voice.

  • Right on cue, a Jaguars draft pick has ruined a leg. DB Jalen Ramsey suffered a meniscus tear in his knee. The team is getting a second opinion, but most opinions are that Jags draft picks should be encased in bubble wrap until the start of training camp. 
  • Buzzfeed sports wannabe profootballtalk has the results of a Washington Post poll saying 90% of 504 Native Americans surveyed “aren’t bothered” by the name “[*Redacted] s”. Expect merchandise prices to rise 10-15% on this news. Thin-barked New Hickory responded to these results, saying,

“The Washington [*Redacted] s team, our fans and community have always believed our name represents honor, respect, and pride. Today’s Washington Post polling shows Native Americans agree. We are gratified by this overwhelming support from the Native American community and the team will proudly carry the [*Redacted] s name,” Snyder said.

I guess some memes turn out to be true.


Victoria Day:

Under Canadian law, the date is reserved in anniversary of the birth of the monarch. A national commemoration dating from the time of Queen Victoria, an amendment to the Statutes of Canada in 1952 established the celebration of Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 25. It was renamed Journée nationale des patriotes in Quebec in 2002, commemorating the struggle of Louis-David Papineau and his patriotes to establish “Responsible Government” in Lower Canada.

Informally, it is known as the “May 2-4” weekend, in honour of the unofficial start of summer, and in recognition of the size of a case of beer (outside BC).

In BC, a case is 12. It seems to cost as much as 24.

In honour of the upcoming long weekends in both countries, and stealing thematically from the Commentist Beer Barrel, please help out my future road trips with examples of your city’s finest microbrews down in the comments. Mentions of “Budweiser” from #BFIB will be summarily ignored.


Boy howdy, did the Penguins show up last night. “Beat them like a government mule” is what good ol’ JR would say. I’d expect another slobberknocker tomorrow night, if only because Tampa is all but out if Pittsburgh goes home up 3-1.

Oh, and there’s this:

which has led to this:

Shawn Michaels Game 5

and then to the horrifying this:

GAH! I’m willing to bet Kessel hasn’t looked like that since 9th grade. He probably also had way more body hair; I bet his mullet would have equalled prime-90s Shawn Michaels. Maybe they can get Tampa resident and future Gawker owner Hulk Hogan to come out in a Bolts jersey and take a superkick during the ceremonial faceoff. I hear he’s not busy these days and needs the work.

Hey, speaking of Fat Phils, Mickelson paying back almost a million dollars due to insider trading makes me laugh. He’s not being charged, but the guy who gave him the deets is. That’s an important lesson kids – just the tip gets you fucked.

So much for writing off the Warriors this early, but what idiot (Art Schlichter) would do that?. Some of those Steph Curry shots in the third quarter were ridiculous, both in concept and execution. Imagine the King up there imitating Serge Ibaka; that’s as close as he got to bothering the MVP all night.


Matches of the Day!

NHL: Blues @ Sharks – 9:00

NBA: Raptors @ Cavs – 8:30

Remember, I’m asking for microbrews. Because the list of favorite overall beers

IS DEPRESSING!

I say we go with a dog theme for Brocky. I’ll start with Flogging Molly.

laserguru

Think I’m going to walk down to the beach tomorrow and hopefully this will be playing on my ipod.

Senor Weaselo

Two nights in a row at the bar, Saturday night’s gone through the grapevine, everyone STILL on my side, I’m feeling a little better. How goes it?

laserguru

The hot sauce post was epic.

I hop;e your colon has recovered.

laserguru

Did you notice that I gave you a semi colon?

We meet every other Thursday.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Senor Weaselo

It was a few weeks ago, so I’ve more than recovered. The Reaper salt has gone on basically anything regular salt can go on, and on pretzels might be the best thing I’ve ever done.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s a terrible joke, so yeah, I snickered.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Brocky

…um did you not read what I just posted below?

Brocky

I see the timestamp now. that’s just bad luck right there.

Some dog gifs would probably help at this poing

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If you would look at the damn times I posted this first.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You need not apologize for anything.

Just gave my dog some pets. She looks at me like “Hey, I’m sleeping here, it’s nice and all, but I need my 16 hours.”

Wakezilla

Why on earth can’t Hillary Clinton summon up a bit more magnanimity vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders and his supporters? For Xenu’s sake, at this point, she can afford it! It’s becoming increasingly clear that she’ll need every vote she can muster in the fall.

I hope you nail that interview like Rex Ryan chasing tail in Tijuana

Brocky

So I’ve had one of the worst nights of my life, now I can’t sleep.

did the sharks game feel as one sided as it was tuesday?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

the fuck happened?

Brocky

My poor dog suddenly passed away. Absolutely no warning. No history of seizures, then BOOM. Vet couldn’t do anything.

The girl was old, I knew it was coming, but damn, I feel so goddamn helpless. I keep going over in my head what I could have done differently. I know it wouldn’t change the outcome, but I can’t shut my brain off.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Sorry, man.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jeez, that blows hard. Sorry, man.

Senor Weaselo

Well shit. Sorry to hear that.

JerBear50

Oh shit man, I’m sorry. That’s how mine went too, a few years back. Just came home from dinner and found him all fucked up.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, don’t tear yourself up with blame. She was happy with a good owner and that is what dogs need.

Covalent Blonde

I am sorry to hear. You have my condolences.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shit dude, really sorry to hear this.
But at least she didn’t linger (I know how trite that sounds….but there is truth to it).

Wakezilla

Shit, that sucks man. I’m sorry to read about your loss. Just keep telling yourself that it’s not your fault. Once a dog gets to a certain age, everything just fucking goes at once.

Unsurprised

I have a phone interview tomorrow afternoon. Step 2 of n, but at least it’s a start.

Wakezilla

Good luck!

Man, I can’t stand phone interviews that last over 30 minutes. How long is yours tomorrow? Or does it depend?

Unsurprised

It depends, but I suspect it will be at least 20 minutes.

ALXMAC

Actually as someone that used to give weekly phone interviews for a few years – if it lasts longer than 15 minutes that’s usually a good sign. You don’t know when they call you weather it’s scheduled for 15, 30, or 45 minutes but the longer it lasts the better your chances of getting to the next step.

Unsurprised

Good to know.

JerBear50

Jesus, I don’t even talk to people I like for that long.

JerBear50

And if it’s a woman interviewing you, make sure you call her “honey” and let her know how you take your coffee. That shows confidence and they like that.

Covalent Blonde

Well, good luck to you, babe!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
theeWeeBabySeamus

She looks an awful suspiciously a lot like Racquel Darrian.
Whoever that is.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Apparently Michael Bay is a big fan too.

laserguru

Hiya folks!

Quick entry since I’m neck deep in physical therapy and work.

We’re in the RFP part of my next 5-10 year contract that will hopefully carry me off into the sunset.

Fucking contract labor!

The fuck are you gonna do?

Oldest granddaughter “right” turned 11 today!

Yay!

She’s just the cutest and smartest girl on the planet and I will accept no other responses.

Marine science and math magnet school! Strait A’s!

On the other hand…

I feel fucking GREAT!

My knees are better than they have been in months and I am ready to get the fuck after it.

In other words….

HOW THE FUCK YOU DOING COMMENTIST PARTY?!?

Covalent Blonde

Yay! I am so happy to hear that you are feeling dramatically better! About goddamned time, babe!

And happy wahini birthday!

laserguru

Against the wishes of mom and dad I got her a phone for her birthday.

On their plan.

I know how to spoil a grandkid.

ballsofsteelandfury

WOOOOOOO!!!

JerBear50

Glad to hear it man.

Unsurprised
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Color of Night?

[googles]

Yep, Color of Night.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Also yeah right’s kitchen theme.

JerBear50

So what happens if your brother decides he wants to take over your Gravy column and has you Gillooly’d?

Unsurprised

Hopefully, yeah right gets him back. Then we get a cripple fight.

Covalent Blonde

SHE CAN’T CLOSE HER MOUTH! How would you know if she was close to getting off or just her usual mouth breathing?

theeWeeBabySeamus

More importantly….
Who Cares?
😉

Unsurprised

Damn fake geek girls.

ALXMAC

Yeah they look more like team mom/daughter than DC.

Unsurprised

For real: The insecurity that comes from attacking anyone for being a “fake” fan is fucking bonkers.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, agreed. “THEY CAN’T BE FOR REAL FANS!!” You said it; Some people hurt themselves scoffing so hard.

ballsofsteelandfury

DON’T FORGET YOUR AFL FOOTY TIPS!

Unsurprised

I’ve completely descended into the gif caves to explore the ridiculous amount of gifs of Karlie. (Who’d have guessed there’d be so many source videos of a model?)

Well that is just not muppet friendly at all.

Covalent Blonde

So it is probably the booze or being drunk off the Sharks blanking to Blues x 2 but I have a terrible confession to make: I have a huge crush on Anna Torv. The problem with this that all of my staff immediately point out that we look alike (not exactly dead ringers here–she is quite stunning). The point of this confession is that i have no idea what Freudian nightmare this must imply that I am totally hot for a girl with whom I share an alarming number of similarities.

Covalent Blonde

I am so afraid that there is a part of my mind that would be so into this…

Unsurprised

How’d you change images?

ALXMAC

ssshhhhh….don’t wake the lizard people.

Covalent Blonde

I’m old and have super admin privileges. I think when we were starting this site, DTZM just knew I would fuck things up on the reg and would need to edit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Them’s fancy talking words for “she got lucky”.

ALXMAC
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Anna is one of my favorites.

Covalent Blonde

And how.

Unsurprised

I’m inclined to look towards Jung for any meaning to this, not Freud.

Unsurprised

Seriously, though. Maybe she’s your Shadow.

Covalent Blonde

That’s not implausible.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Freud…Jung….screw ya’s both.
SPLOOSH!!!!!

ALXMAC

So you’re a messy eater too?

Unsurprised

Yesssss. Now we’re onto something.

ALXMAC

I’m glad you posted/mentioned her as I like to think of myself as skooled on pop culture and I had never heard of her. More of this please!

ALXMAC

I came across this (phrasing!) on the Dallas Stars SB Nation blog today (Defending Big D – hehe) and I blame Seamus, Title IX, CB, and my mancrush on Tyler Seguin (in no particular order) for posting it now:

http://a1.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2015%2F0701%2Fmag_body_seguin01_RW_576x767.jpg

Covalent Blonde

Unexpectedly short legs, eh?

theeWeeBabySeamus

No particular order….yet you managed to list me first.

ALXMAC

OK that one was particular.

Covalent Blonde

Well now, she is perfectly fine. This one isn’t Deglover, is she?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I certainly am hoping no.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Careful…that might be CB’s car.

Covalent Blonde

If it can beat me in chess I might take it home and marry it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Can’t figure out how to fix and FJ Cruiser….NEXT!!!!!!!
2/10…would not bang.

Unsurprised
theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes…I am, in fact….”THAT GUY”.

Covalent Blonde

Wait, that’s not toothy, is it? She’s kinda cute. I may have to take back my “derpy” comment.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Too late.
You’ve already ruined her for me.
ALXMAC’s Riley Reid mention is the only thing keeping me at half mast at this point.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh and equal time and all that crap…blah, blah, blah.
comment image

theeWeeBabySeamus
Covalent Blonde

Dem Teef!

theeWeeBabySeamus

SHUT UP!!!!

Covalent Blonde

I am looking out for you, babe. Look, I worry enough about my boys in the wilds of North Carolina. I don’t need to be worried about which one of you got their dicks degloved by those chompers!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I literally have no response to that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well that is both oddly unsettling and mesmerizing all at once, eh?

Unsurprised

Oh, hello. Now we’re talking.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I concur.

SonOfSpam

Tomorrow’s my wedding anniversary. According to some site, the appropriate gift for 21 years is “Brass and Nickel.” So I’m gonna punch my wife in the mouth with brass knuckles, then drop five cents on her unconscious body.

Or flowers/card/dinner/show. Whatever.

Covalent Blonde

Be careful. There is a fair chance your wifey has been doing the exact same gift research.

SonOfSpam

She’s been googling something called “arsenic” which I hope is a nice cologne.

Unsurprised

It goes well with lace.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I am totally ashamed that this made me laugh.
And also that I am still laughing.
Banner quote plz.

SonOfSpam

Nah, it won’t fit because it’s too long.
(That’s what she said.)
(Neither she nor anyone else has ever said that.)

ALXMAC

21 years is quite the accomplishment in this day and age. Congrats!!

Related: Brass and Nickel seems a little crass for that long of an anniversary. Perhaps those guidelines should be updated every 100 years or so.

Covalent Blonde

21st = USB Drive

ALXMAC

Only if 15 = floppy disk.

SonOfSpam

Thanks bud…it’s been a lot of work. For her.

WCS

Janay Palmer apologizes for her role in SoS’s wedding anniversary.

theeWeeBabySeamus

So yeah…she’s mildly attractive.

Covalent Blonde

I have no idea what she is wearing, but she looks so much less derpy than Lexi Belle. This one is cute. I like this one.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, I was gonna make an ill-advised comment.
Decided not to.
Yay for me.

Unsurprised

Bella Thorne is a delight.

ALXMAC

Who wore it better?

Lexi Belle in Paste My Face 3 or Lexi Belle in Paste My Face 9?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Deee-lightful. 😀

ALXMAC

I say ya’ll should go. I had the chance to see Riley Reid at Night Trips in OKC a little over a year ago and to this day I regret that I didn’t go. I haven’t been to a strip club in over 15 years but to see someone like that in person (while they are still famous, relevant, and gorgeous) would probably be worth it.

SonOfSpam

I gotta catch up. You miss one Paste My Face, you totally lose the plot.

Unsurprised

Karlie Kloss has a peculiar smile and that’s what I like most about her.
http://116.imagebam.com/download/Nz2PXvalRZKOg7HDjE8EqA/48469/484685112/ZahhvbY.jpg

theeWeeBabySeamus

I understand your logic, I do.
But that leg…..

Unsurprised

Her incredibly long legs and being 5’11” are close behind.

Covalent Blonde

Agreed. I like her ferocity!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ferocity?
You need to go make out with your car or something I think.

Covalent Blonde

I would love to, thank you very much, but you know damn well she is having a sleepover.

theeWeeBabySeamus

She’s probably cheating on you right now with some late model SUV.

Covalent Blonde

Pfft! I’m not possessive! How else would you know how good you’ve got it if you don’t see how bad it could be?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Soooooo, who ended up going to see Lexi Belle?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nobody yet.
Hippoz is trynna be a bad influence on me.
(she’s local for us tomorrow night)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Where is local again? I may or may not be in CO…

theeWeeBabySeamus

NC

Covalent Blonde

DO IT! Or DON’T DO IT! I have no dog in this fight. I just want you both to have a good night.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dammit Google…I already told you I’M NOT GAY (as far as you know).

Ohhh, I get it now. Seamus is actually Aaron Rodgers! Hey, Aaron, fuck you for winning Super Bowl XLV.

Unsurprised

The indifference of the guy being attacked combined with the “attack” being a shark trying to hug him.

Covalent Blonde

That’s a pretty laid back face.

“So this squiggle and this circle over here means if we get one in it counts for 4 points. Pietrangelo, go get it!”

Covalent Blonde

Empty net on 5:30+ on the clock seems like a stretch just a bit, no? I guess the math must work out. But still.
