Guess I’m missing the joke.

The in-laws are in town. Everyone is in bed. I don’t have to work till 5 pm tomorrow. I’m getting stoned in the bathroom. The tavern I work at, which is a 5 min. walk from my front door, serves for another hour-and–a-half. I am DYING to slip out and grab a few pints. Am I a bad person if I do this? I grilled up steaks & shrimp skewers for everyone earlier with a side of broiled asparagus with Parmesan & crumbled bacon. I’m rationalizing, aren’t I?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I don’t see the downside of going and doing this, you didn’t even need the rationalization

JerBear50

Unless you’re committed to being up early or something, I don’t see the issue.

Nothing about this seems bad at all.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You’ve earned your vices.

Real Ale Brewing Company is, without question, one of the 50 best breweries in America, but nobody outside Texas knows this because nobody outside Texas gets their beer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Tonight’s homemade cocktail is a blood and sand. Could have used a little more Monkey Shoulder, but gonna do the job.

laserguru

Got a recipe you can share?

We do love our recipes.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

First time I’ve made it at home, so I went with the straightforward

1(ish) ounce of monkey shoulder scotch
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
3/4 oz cherry heering
3/4 oz orange juice
one luxardo cherry

She is the only reason to be jealous of someone who lives in Detroit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I was just perturbed at the keep out sign.

Senor Weaselo

So… would we rather Peru or Ecuador?

Spanky Datass

Well shit … image fail.

It’s okay, I think we understood. We can use our…

Senor Weaselo

Um, I blame me.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I blame you too

Beerguyrob

Can’t we blame Uproxx?

laserguru

Yes, we can.

Unsurprised

If you can read this, keep licking.

Fronkenshteen

Colombia doesn’t seem interested. Don’t they have something to play for here?

Beerguyrob

Staying in America?

Senor Weaselo

Not getting neckties?

Senor Weaselo

Holy shit we might not have to take on Brazil!

Spanky Datass

Holy shit Costa Rica!

Tonight’s entertainment is called “Energizer” a Cali Medi grade sativa.
And I just opened a bottle of this.

laserguru

Jesus!
Actual size!

Unsurprised

So, should I take the money I’ve been offered? I didn’t mean to have anyone do that. I just wanted to vent and feel not alone. I feel bad accepting gifts from anyone. It’s demeaning. But it’s from good people just being kind.

ballsofsteelandfury

Does this entail you dressing up as Little Bo Peep?

Either way, yes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I like balls’ answer better than mine.
Also, please provide photos.

JerBear50

Maybe it involves metallic rainbow short shorts?

JerBear50

I really wish I could find the corresponding Uff pic to go along with this without giving extra clicks to Upchuxx.

ballsofsteelandfury

Seriously.

Spanky Datass

I think the online store that sent Ufford the rainbow snakeskin shorts had a pic of him wearing them but I can’t find that site/image. Dammit…
SUXROXXX SUX!!!!1!11!!
/pours another

JerBear50

I poked around for a few minutes but couldn’t find anything. Hard to believe he wouldn’t want those floating around everywhere.

Beerguyrob

Found the video:

JerBear50

Does +1’ing this mean I caught teh gay?

Beerguyrob

It depends on what’s +1-ing on you while you’re watching.

Beerguyrob

Here’s the shorts.

Spanky Datass

That’s just great … good times …

Unsurprised

The headband is a great addition.

theeWeeBabySeamus

There’s no right answer. Also no wrong answer. If someone is showing you a kindness that’s heartfelt, and it’s from someone whom you don’t feel awkward accepting it from, then hell yes take it.

Down the road you might find a way to repay it. Not so much monetarily speaking necessarily, but being there for them in general when the time calls for it in some way.

Unsurprised

Yeah. I will definitely do that.

I wish I was that bed.

Horatio Cornblower

She falls like Bill Cosby just gave her a ride home.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Whenever we see riots after a team wins a championship, we cringe in horror and embarrassment. In soccer, this happens all the fucking time! What the fuck is wrong with these guys? These are fans of the softest goddamned sport in the world! What makes this behavior remotely acceptable?

Unsurprised

Foreigners are animals.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I presume you’re probably looking for a broader social reason than….
http://braha.com.br/us/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/drugs-alcohol.jpg

But I think it pretty much is that simple.

Unsurprised

Speaking of animals, at least in other countries they have the decency to do real drugs and booze and not concoct weird shit or exploit the over prescribing of painkillers to American idiots.

JerBear50

Euro riots are much more cultured and sophisticated.

Unsurprised

I just realized as I walked past Providence Park that there aren’t any Copa games here in Portland. That kind of sucks. I’d like there to be even if I couldn’t go to them.

King Hippo

elevate the pelota, you dumb shits

theeWeeBabySeamus

Never bad advice.

ballsofsteelandfury

Paraguay is the stupidest team ever.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Red Birds and Dirt Steelers on FOX. Can I place have a tactical nuclear strike? I don’t ask for much, but could I please have that?

JerBear50

Just trick them into signing Dusty Baker. It has pretty much the same effect.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

I didn’t realize this thread was here and now I feel bad.

King Hippo

It has been a busy thread day. I’m assuming cocaine is involved. VIVA!!

ThursdaySkyGoddess
JerBear50

Beer will help with that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ref take one to the onions? I totes missed it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Guess not. Oh well.

Redshirt

You guys are watching soccer? Are you so desperate for football to return that you have resorted to watch football?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Does it count if I’m ALSO watching NCAA Baseball Tourney?
Worse, huh?

Redshirt

So Trump may ask Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger to speak at the Republican National Convention.

Defend your precious quarterbacks now, Pats and Steelers Nations!!!!

ballsofsteelandfury

Nope!

ballsofsteelandfury

I will say that THE BEN put out a statement saying he is not endorsing anyone and that he and Rump are only acquaintances.

For whatever that is worth….

Redshirt

Good. I always had begrudging respect for the Steelers organization (last playoff Hatfield-McCoy style football game notwithstanding). I would hope not to lose that.

ballsofsteelandfury

Brady, on the other hand, will be there with Uggs on!

JerBear50

So it’s a bit of a gray area?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This was terrific.

King Hippo

These teams both look just awful

ballsofsteelandfury

Paraguay sucks all the balls if they can’t score one lousy goal with a man advantage.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Welp, I am going to have to leave before full time, so I guess I won’t get to watch all of this scintillating display of penalty killing.

King Hippo

c’mon Paraguay, a draw won’t do it. MUST HAVE TWO

JustStopDude

HAHAHAHA!!! Of fucking course…

I swear to god the TMNTS are made up of complete clowns every fucking year.

Seriously…we are England with shit for talent…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oooops, how’d that one get in there?

Can I have the ones that don’t stick? Wait…and the ones that stick also.

laserguru

In honor of the country of Greece and their performance in the Euro 2016…
What?
They didn’t?

Aw fuck it, we had Greek food at this place today.

This place is incredible.
http://papacristos.com/

ballsofsteelandfury

I’ve been there. I loved that they have unusual Greek dishes you won’t find at regular “Greek” places.

laserguru

It’s fantastic.
I really want to go to one of their Thursday Night dinners. They put all of the tables together and serve everything family style.

Great, great place.
Outstanding gyro meat.

Had a couple of these too.

comment image

Beers, I meant.
Sadly only the beers.

JerBear50

I love Greek meats and seafood but they can keep their bullshit pasta dishes/casseroles.

Unsurprised

I went there last month. That place is the best.

laserguru

I agree that it’s the best Greek food in L.A.

JustStopDude

Damn it…I’ve been talking to myself I think on the other thread…

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!

And those Paraguayans have so much else going for them already, when you really think about it…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Dempsey sucks

There was a time when Clint Dempsey’s Fulham knocked Juventus out of the Europa League.

My how both have fallen.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Copa America! I remember my neighbor in Toronto was from Paraguay and he’d scream at me “Maricon! Maricon!”

I was like, “Honey, I’m Canadian!”

GOOOOOOOOOO Paraguay!!!
