I know nothing about these teams-let’s just get that out there. But I do love me the soccer/football. It’s so damn hot up in The Canada right now but I’ve already got some hiking, kayaking and yard work done and now I’m done. Does beer make the pain of a good workout go away? God, I hope so. Now….LET’S GO!

Reminding your legislators who really signs the checks in this festive election season.

I have cooked steaks for my father. The look on his eyes was pride. Pride and hunger.
The GSC Wars are officially over.
WINNAH
Someone mentioned Clarence Thomas down below, and following the old adage “always talk about politics until you get sick of it then go on to religion,” what are the Republicans doing about the current vacancy on the supreme court? Do they really think they’re going to win the election? And if they do, do they just expect to be able to control Trump enough to get someone palatable appointed? Seems to me it would a much better PR move to confirm the dude who was nominated (who is sort of moderate?), and fart out some nonsense about fulfilling their duty as elected officials blah blah blah.

Out about an hour east at the Grandparents. This is usually a complete dead zone, but I finally asked them for their wifi password, and it barely works. There is beer and the grill going though!
Not so bad, but it’s over 100 out here. As long as no one brings up politics, I’ll be fine, just fine.
I am enjoying the ideal Father’s Day. When I was married and the kids were growing up I told them for Father’s Day I want to grill things, drink many beers without having them counted and please stay the fuck away from the TV remote.
That’s all I asked.
“You were supposed to be the spotter!”
“Yeah, I spotted her falling the whole way down.”

Nice height on the bounce.
Did they stick the landing? That’s the important part!
So, let’s see what’s after Star Trek III. I’ll need something good to get me into the proper mood for NBA Finals Game 7.
Oh, BBC America, you bloody wankers!
AKA the Top Gear/Old Star Trek channel.
Tonight, do you wear a hat?

How did her feet come so far off the floor like that? Did she jump?
LOL, dunno. But that must be one heavy bouquet.
Mass x Velocity…ppl forget that.
From what I don’t understand about the golf, there’s only 35 more holes left to go.
So the Enterprise self-destruct sequence was activated by:
1. An Admiral that’s that not regularly assigned to the ship.
2. The former engineer who was promoted and reassigned to another ship, as long as he refers to his old rank.
3. An officer who is assigned to another ship and is only on that ship because his ship was captured.
Seems legit.
That’s how it went down on the Graf Spee to the letter.

Too soon. (looks at name) My handle not withstanding.
I apologize. From everything I’ve seen, he seems to have been very well-liked and respsected by his peers.
Fuck you Fox I want to watch golf not interviews.
Is there a third option? I’d like the third option.
The thing about the golf is that a shit-ton of my suppliers, reps and customers play the game. It’s in my best interests to get out there and solidify business/personal relationships but the game itself frustrates me greatly.
/fuck it-my business does just fine without me washing someone’s balls
All my clients are doctors and I’ve never played a full round of golf.
It makes me kind of a mystery to them.

It turns their obsession against them and makes them feel like maybe I know something they don’t. I feel like it gives actually gives me the upper hand.
Not sure if this is salient to the convo but I was courted by the president of a nation-wide organization related to what we do. For whatever reason he was desperate to get us on board. His ace-in-the-hole was “If you join, you will be a part of MY foursome at our next function”.
My “I don’t golf” response left him grasping at straws.
It’s something they don’t expect and it leaves them slightly off-balance.
“You mean you don’t care at all about the only thing in the world I still care about???”
Lt. Saavik: “They’re Klingons following us. I’ll go.”
Dr. Marcus: “No, I’ll go. I’m a scientist, you’re just a starfleet officer trained in combat techniques who grew up in an alien world with increased gravity so you are stronger than me. Give me your phaser.”
Game 7 can’t come fast enough.
Star Trek has always been good at predicting the future:
In 1984-1986, Starfleet was more upset about their most celebrating crew stealing an obsolete ship than with an enemy committing an act of war by destroying a ship, and killing hundreds of people.
In 2016, America is more upset about people’s access of guns rather than an enemy killing hundreds of people around the world.
As someone who has played golf a dozen or so times…are the U.S. Open courses “difficult”?
As someone who has played a dozen or so holes, I have no idea.
I do remember WCS saying something about Oakmont being a difficult course.
Keeping it off the turnpike is a must.
Typically there are several things they do to a course for the US Open. The courses are generally some of the longer and more difficult to begin with. But they intentionally allow the rough to grow out so that accuracy is rewarded (more correctly, inaccuracy is way penalized), and the green speeds and pin placements are generally made as tough as possible on 80% of the holes.
Every year a handful of pros bitch about the course layout/setup being too hard.
tl;dr – Yes.
This just in-
Lowry is golfing like the badass golfer that he is.*
*knows less about golf than soccer/football

O’s trying to close out a pitchers duel in Camden Yards with the Jays…top of the ninth, 2 outs, on a 11-6 score…
Good win.
I can do without the Carolina Blue unis today, however. Couldn’t MLB pick a slightly darker blue?
COME ON MAN!!!!!
Happy Father’s Day to all you DFOers that slipped one past/hand of God-ed one past the goalie.
Kirk: “Can we go to Genesis Planet and get our friends body so we can restore his life and save the mind of our doctor?”
Starfleet: “No.”
Kirk: “Do you remember the time that me and my crew saved Earth and all you guys from that 20th century satellite that wanted to eliminate you so it could talk to a modem while you were hiding under your desk pissing your pants? That guy helped out a little. Also, our best ambassador is his son, so if you piss him off, the next logical thing would be for Vulcan to tell you go screw yourself. So I say again, ‘Can we swing by Genesis and beam off one freakin’ Vulcan?’”
For a Captain, Kirk clearly has never paid attention to military organizations.
Its ALWAYS better to ask for forgiveness than permission….
kirk is an admiral by this point smgdmfh
Yeah, and demoted to Captain. If a US President did that to someone who disobeyed orders and nearly brought us to war, they would be impeached in an hour.
Let the record show my worst-case scenario had 1 point in group play!
You want to leave a vast international real estate portfolio to your heirs?
Start buying in Albania.
How much is that bridge?
It’s 20 billion lek.
DM me your bank details and I’ll get it sorted for you.
[spider senses start tingling]
Good. As long as your rip-off senses keep it on the QT we’ll be fine.
Star Trek III is on and I am mentally preparing myself for when Chekov appears.
I guess you heard about new Chekov.
Yup. That may make a sequel odd if they recast or just avoid the Ops position in the bridge spots.
Dude also played young Kyle Reese in Terminator: Salvation.
Always liked him as a character actor in general as well.
That was a fun little match…
Albania fucking contested every single thing. I mean you would have thought they were the ones struggling to tie it up to survive.
Since they are playing it would be remiss of me not to mention Romania’s auto industry, which is surprisingly robust all things considered.
Automobile Dacia S.A. is a Romanian car manufacturer that takes its name from the Roman province that constitutes most of present-day Romania. It is now owned by Renault, they build badge-engineered Renaults and Nissans, and they build a lot of them. It is Europe’s fifth-largest carmaker and has a reputation for decent quality and value. Look! It’s a Rogue for under US$20K!
You could do a lot worse than that.
Clarence Thomas is apparently strongly considering retirement after the election. WOO, HillyBob!!!!
Sparrow to teh knockout round??
Westwood’s card looks the way I like my cribbage hands to look.
He had 4-4-5-5-6.
I just had one of those “OH FUCK that’s good!” moments with a brand new recipe for next week.
It is going to kick some serious ass!
You goddamned tease!!!!!
I’ll give you only 1 hint.
It was my first time making this dish and it was kind of a pain in the ass to do.
But it is delicious enough that I will make it again and again.
Hope that clears it up.
Oh yeah, it’s totally fucking crystal now. THANKS!!!! 🙂
This SUI/FRA match is a textbook example of why Americans hate soccer.
ALBANIA SCORES!!!!!!
I’ve been watching more of the Albania/Roumania game. Both teams seem to be trying to score, which is nice. Plus Romania’s yellow jersey are just wonderous to watch in motion.
Are Les Frogs and Swiss Chocolate still playing for the 0-0 tie?
If Albania’s strikers didn’t have concrete for feet, I’m pretty sure they would have scored at least 2 in this half.
As with everything else in the world, the Swiss can only help you with your car problem if you’re filthy rich.
The only major auto manufacturer in Switzerland is Rinspeed, and they only make folding origami shit like this
http://f.share.photo.xuite.net/dav912/1fcd312/14749438/782838036_m.jpg
amphibious shit like this
http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/200511/2004-rinspeed-splash-15_600x0w.jpg
and ridiculous Porsche modifications like this.
http://www.classycars.org/Rinspeed/Rinspeed-Porsche_Bedouin_996_Turbo.jpg
The only one you can actually buy is the Porsche, and you don’t really buy it so much as have made because you supply the Porsche. The others are just one-off prototypes that will never see production.
Their slogan? “Creative Think Tank and Mobility Lab for the Automotive Industry. Where the Future is Reality – Today!”

The French auto industry continues to be the third-largest in the Europe, producing both heartbreakingly beautiful cars like the Peugeot 202
http://motoburg.com/images/peugeot-202-03.jpg
and heartbreakingly miserable cars like the Peugeot 1007.

Renault is now little more than a division of Nissan, but Citroën-Peugeot remains stubbornly independent, collecting 11 World Rally Championships since 2000.
Ceausescu certainly went out with style….getting machine gunned to death off camera after a show trial.
Can’t remember if it was video footage or reportage, but I distinctly recall his missus thinking that being “really” indignant was going to get her out of the bucket of pickles she was in.
*sigh* Those poor, unfortunate pickles … smdh…
Elena Ceaușescu
Been around a long time.
Heard a lot of idioms.
“Bucket of pickles” is a new one on me.
Basically there were a bunch of scientists that had to write papers for the wife, to get her published overseas because the official story was she was a brilliant, proletariat scientist.
In reality, she was functional illiterate.
Apparently the scientists would get liquidated every once in a while to to try and keep her illiteracy secret.
How do you even think this kind of shit up, let alone get other people to go in on it with you?
There had to be a “Eureka!” moment on that WAY before he was in power, right?
They were married for almost 20 years before he became dictator. Did they come up with that right away and just kind of went with it? Or was it something they made up on the spot in 1967 and said “See all these guns? SHE’S A SCIENTIST NAOW GOT IT”
So many questions.
“Honey? Now that you’re like, Dictator and everything…can I be smart and shit?”
Switzerland’s defense is looking like cheese.
Is it stinky?
Huh. One of the teams is wearing Sweden’s unis….
