Your “Relatively Brief Friday Open Thread

Ooh, thatsa spicy hangover. Hope my vision clears before the drive to school to drop off my grades.

His mom probably gets nothing.

NFL News:

  • It’s all about the Benjamins in Charlotte:
    • Michael Oher – 3 years; $21.6 million
    • Riverboat Ron – 3 years; $19.5 million
  • Good news; great news from the mind that is Pete Carroll:
    • Thomas Rawls & Jimmy Graham will be ready for Week 1
    • Russell Wilson has gotten even better. Once he gets laid, thought, he’s fucked.
  • RGIII may not be as good as advertised. So – perfect for the Browns.
    • No one from The Factory will care if Bron Bron wins Game 7

Meanwhile, the Russians are having a great time in international sports:

  • in danger of being eliminated at the Euro
  • the IAAF upheld the ban of Russian athletes at the Rio Olympics
Still suspended.

Expect sabre-rattling soon, and a Trump speech about his good friend Vladdy.


Tonight’s sports:

Given the rain yesterday, they’ll probably be finishing Round 2 of the US Open in twilight.

Copa: Peru vs Colombia – 8:00 – Met Life Stadium

Nice work by the USMNT last night. They’ve got a good chance to make the finals, unless Ayesha Curry thinks those are rigged as well. BRAZIL BELIEVES IT TOO!

People nowadays are lacking in what they call the most.

Gwen Stefani turned out to be a shitty role model.

“Time Salts All Wounds”

This is almost always the best song to end the night on. Not too happy, not too suicide-y.

Doktor Zymm

I need to move back home. It’s a pity I really like my job and the condo I bought last year. I ain’t midwest.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Further West can fix that with beer.

Nah, just get the fuck out of the north side.

Nicki Minaj’s butt is real. Anyone who thinks otherwise is unfamiliar with basic optics and how actual women look.

Unsurprised

I’m assuming most of the criticism is coming from 13 year olds or men who are indistinguishable from them.

King Hippo

It frightens me to live in a society where this is an actual topic of conversation and not just a recurring Tom Haverford joke on Parks and Recreation.

King Hippo

Very Friday night. PBnJ!!

herodotus450

I knew it was a PB&J song because it had whistling in it.

King Hippo

nobody else could make whistling cool. well, Joywave, but it would be sampled and that’s totes different. (I enjoy Most Glorious Soviet Dance Party video though):

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Padres trying to give this one away before I’m even drunk…

5-1 Nats

King Hippo

There is really truly not enough alkeehaul in teh universe FOAR a Padres fan to get through the season, paying attention.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Ain’t that the fucking truth.

Today’s thought watching Dirt Giants-Dirt Vikings: Eduardo Nunez’s helmet needs a Twitter account.

Update: Someone had an Eduardo Nunez’s helmet Twitter when he was a Yankee, but it’s not active anymore.

I like how this season let badass, rattlesnake mean Mallory SHINE.

Doktor Zymm

Not sure I’ve expressed this thought here, but Chicago is a racist as fuck town, and now that I’ve lived here for 8ish years I’m kind of freaked out that I’ve gotten used to it and it doesn’t feel as weird as it used to.

laserguru

The entire Midwest is the same way.

Try a trip to Iowa.

Or Central Illinois.

Yikes.

Back in my long haired days my brother and I barely got out alive from a bar in Galesburg Illinios.
Because we had long hair and had the audacity to run out of gas in front of the bar when it was 3 degrees and snowing.

herodotus450

Maybe if you’d gotten a damn HAIRCUT you could’ve seen the GODDAMN gas gauge.

Unsurprised

One might almost say that the entire country is racist.

laserguru

And One would be correct.

Unsurprised

One is always right.

laserguru

Maybe

packman_jon

I think

Doktor Zymm

I’m well aware I’m not in the worst part of the country for this sort of thing…but damn. I can’t be sure, but I suspect the DC area is the least racist part of the country. I went to high school in a place that was almost equally distributed white/black/hispanic with a good dose of other, and PG is (or was, not sure if still true) the richest majority black county in the country. Daley built modern Chicago, and he built it segregated.

Unsurprised

The east-west divide was as bad as Chicago’s north-south divide when I was there. But now I have classmates profiting off the gentrification of U Street and pushing blacks further into PGC.

I’m bored. I’m not trying to start anything.

Doktor Zymm

I think that got eroded pretty quick though, SE was where all the clubs were before development, now there are condos there. (Fun fact, that’s where DC can still have full nude male strippers!) And U Street is yes, gentrified, but it’s gentrified as an african-american heritage area, I don’t know stats for home ownership in the area, but businesses in the area are primarily black owned. H street is the hipster area, but that’s east side, and NE hasn’t been bad overall in years. Bad areas, yes, and I did once have some assholes decide to fight on the hood of my car the day after I had my windshield replaced while I was actively driving said car looking for parking, but they were just dicks.

King Hippo

My experience in DC was everybody fucking hated everybody…so no reason to get around to bein’ raycess.

herodotus450

Chicago, racist? Ever hear of a guy named Michael Jordan? It’s not like he had to suddenly leave town under suspicious circumstances despite being a town hero.

laserguru

As that great patriot Marilyn Manson said:

There’s no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker
That gets in your way.

Doktor Zymm

I am full of wine, and just got that damn long-line bra that was digging into my side off. Huzzah! Also, more wine, which, while not included in the wine tasting I got quite sozzled at, is still as free as the wine tasting because sunk costs! I’m pretty good at using economic concepts to justify doing whatever the fuck I want. Really, the only thing I can’t justify to my satisfaction is about 3 years of fucking that Pat’s fan.

Currently reading The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore. Highly recommend. And if you are in the position of never having read any Christopher Moore, I started with “Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff” which is hilarious and probably extremely blasphemous. Sill, you would dig it. Also, all y’all.

I thank our Lord and Saviour Jeebus that my moobs never got that big. The bra just seems like an instrument of torture.

Unsurprised

There are many times where I would appreciate not having moobs in the way. Or you know just not having pokie nipples even when I’m wearing an undershirt.

Doktor Zymm

It’s really not, in it’s best forms it’s a fine thing. Anything that doesn’t fit right is nasty. When done correctly it’s very helpful.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I dunno how gals do it quite frankly. A jock strap ain’t necessarily painful at all, but I can’t imagine wearing one daily for 10-15 hours a day.

Fuck that.

Doktor Zymm

You get used to it, if it fits right it’s no different than wearing underwear. Similar to a jockstrap (probably?) it’s not really needed unless there’s vigorous activity going on, but it’s for sure more comfortable to have em stowed most of the time. I’m not averse to going sans bra, and it’s fine for walking around, sitting around, etc, but anything more active, you want some boob restraint.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMAO. Yes, keeping the package(s) secure during a bumpy transport.
/can relate to this now.

Doktor Zymm

You see women with their arms crossed across their chest quite often. They ain’t all angry. Sometimes it’s just manual restraint 🙂

theeWeeBabySeamus

I always found it wiser (and safer) just presume they were angry. Who knew all this time I kept my distance due to perceived hostility, all I had to do was approach them and offer my “support”.
/makes mental note

King Hippo

Well, once you get used to not wearing undies, that once a year you have to (physical examination day) just feels fucking awful.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Inorite?

I was just adding some late suggestions to the “school” themed Request Line and I thought of this one and it is way too cool to not share here as well.

Hillary is a pragmatist. She knows you’re never going to get drugs out of sports so, if they donated enough, just let Russia compete.

She likes to get things done like that.

Peru had a great chance… can’t imagine it’s gonna turn out well for them after that.

The advantage to oiled leather products is that you can use olive oil to replenish them.

This is a delightful culture. No wonder I enjoy the Detective Inspector Erlendur novel series.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Good series for sure.

laserguru

On a semi-related note, I’m halfway through my first Jo Nesbo Harry Hole detective story “The Bat.”

Vastly entertaining.

And I have you glorious bastards to thank for it.

Once you finish Nesbo, give Arnaldur Indridason a read!
