Your “Let’s Talk Turkey” Open Thread

So apparently there’s a country out there that will be getting a shiny new government.  Have at it.  Feel free to get sexy, if so compelled.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Stoned watching USA:Up All Night with Rhonda Shear ….. ah, those were the days….. I think, not sure.

Unsurprised

I don’t know if it’s good or bad that I never watched that stuff. I either had nothing or access to hardcore.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Um, yeah… it was just late night movies for when we got home from the bars, unless one got lucky, and sometimes even then we’d watch it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I feel we have missed an opportunity in the past that Jane Seymour did not play Jane Seymour in a movie or TV miniseries.

Tony Curtis is dead

….. for quite some time.

I was rewatching Bojack

Winners: ISIS

Losers: Everyone else, including the people distracted from the dumping of the 28 pages of the 9/11 report on how the Saudis helped Al Qaeda and helped facilitate and then erase their involvement in the attacks. It’s all known from other sources by now, but it should matter. And it won’t because it’s Saudi Arabia—our Partners in Peace.

Basic hotel room pre check in protocol:
Buy beers, bottled water, granola bars and crunchy salty substances.
Remove pants.
Get to drinking.
Oh yeah, bring your own bottle.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You should have left the lobby before the pants part tho.

Belt and now Bochy rejected over a for sure strike.

Hot taek: I fucking hate that movie. It’s one of the only movies I ever walked out of in theaters. It’s a good 45 minutes too long and just suuuuucks.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I thought it was a very good movie; but I didn’t really care for it.

And the portions are so small.

Yes; Joe Pesci is only 5’4″

That is by far my favorite scene.

Horatio Cornblower

There’s nothing worse than other people’s poker stories but here I go anyway.

Monthly tournament, playing at the final table I deal myself kings. Make a significant raise, one caller, 9000 in chips in the pot. Flop comes up with nothing higher than a jack, other guy goes all in, has me covered. I call immediately figuring he has A-J or queens. He has queens. I’m about to double up and probably have enough chips to coast into the money, until I deal him a third queen on the river, (last card). Fucked myself right out of the tournament.

I hate poker.

Pardon me while I go drink some bleach.

Horatio Cornblower

Also, cool story bro.

(I’ve heard much worse. And fuck that flop.)

Horatio Cornblower

Earlier I had 10-5 in the big blind, no raises but a bunch of callers and the flop came 5-5-5.

I much prefer those hands.

You sir, are a goddamn genius.

Holy shit, that’s dark.

I agree fully….. nothing worse.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Shit. I knew I should have flown to Cali this weekend.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Any weekend can be a beer weekend (with enough notice!)

laserguru

I made it.
I’m gonna check in, inhale some vapor like substances and get to drinking proper!
I’m visiting that new grand baby tomorrow morning and I’ll be by afterwards.
Cheers!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I may have joined team vapor-like-substances.

Porky Prime

The kids are watching “Sheriff Callie’s Wild West”, a show about a bunch of cartoon animals in a wild west setting. I like to imagine it voiced by the cast of Deadwood.

To be fair, they’ve had some off the wall guest voices. Like Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins playing marmots,and Flea as the Milk Bandit.

In these crazy times, here’s a reminder that some people still know how to America:

Porky Prime

Not to be outdone, Donald Trump did a self-portrait as a short film.

Horatio Cornblower

I guarantee I would have left out Hawaii and Alaska.

And that I would have made a significant number of pejorative comments about Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma.

laserguru

Motherfucker.
Just got to SD County from LA.
Stopped at the first bar I found.
Beer now.
Better.
Fuck that traffic!

Unsurprised

I feel exhausted but I need to keep moving forward.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Someone’s in Oceanside!

Carlsbad.

Theres an In n Out nearby. And if you need breakfast nearby tomorrow, go to mother fucking Tip-Top Meats.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Alright, I’m at a bar now so I can’t check if this is as good as what she did live, but I just saw Samantha Fish wail at a small Colorado street fair. She shreds on guitar and has an awesome voice. Seriously, when I get home, I’m likely to go down the YouTube rabbit hole and spam the request line.

Porky Prime

A wail is not a Fish.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’ve posted a few of her videos late night; I thought I was the only one who liked her stuff.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

She was amazeballs live tonight. Just a small festival in Louisville and she rocked it.

I have returned. The right side of my back is burnt. Whoops.

I don’t agree with her Bieber policy, but I do agree with her never wearing a bra policy.

Her body says “come get some” but her face says “come get 6-12 years for trying to get with a 13 year old.”

Good news, guys: In tomorrow’s Beer Barrel, I’m going to hate on something for once.

Unsurprised

I don’t know if that really qualifies as “good” news.

makeitsnowondem

Eh, I think it’ll be fun. I finally found the right beer to give me an excuse to write about something that’s been bothering me for a while.

Senor Weaselo

Are you saying that Bud Light didn’t make you #UpForWhateverAndOrButtstuff?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes; I have been trying all these IPAs and stouts and rating them good to fucking delicious……

do you know any good bocks? I like shiner but I’m trying to branch out

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The Grapes of Wrath is very good.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
makeitsnowondem

It’s not one of my favorite styles, but there are definitely some better ones than Shiner. Breckenridge Brewery makes a good pretty one, Pandora’s Bock. Not sure if they distribute to you, but they’re pretty widespread. Sam Adams had one in 22oz bottles called The Vixen that I really liked, but I haven’t seen it in a while. And while I haven’t had Mönchshof Bockbier, it’s from my favorite German brewery, Kulmbacher, and I’m willing to recommend it on that basis alone.

If you want to consider doppelbocks (bocks, but stronger and richer) or weizenbocks (bocks, but with wheat malt included and also usually stronger), Kulmbacher EKU28, Ayinger Celebrator, and the classic Spaten Optimator are good for the former, and Schneider Aventinus is pretty much style-defining for the latter.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m drinking an excellent bock right now at Mountain Sun in Boulder. Come join me and I’ll buy you one.

Unsurprised

It’s about fucking time the Turkish military retook the government from the Islamists.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

WAT?

makeitsnowondem

What a fuckin’ day.

laserguru

I hear you man.
Good news about your wife though.
Small victories.

Unsurprised

Part of me wonders why attacks like Nice aren’t more common, but then I remember it’s easier to buy a gun than rent a truck.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, is everyone laughing extremely loudly about Christie?

I mean, he sold out to try to get the VP nod and now he’s assed out and looks a bigger fool than he previously did.

I’m laughing my ass off.

...

I always thought he was angling for the AG job. It’s arguably a bigger one than VP.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If he got it it certainly be way bigger.

THE SOMEWHAT RARE MALE CAMEL TOW.

*Sorry about the tow truck joke.

Horatio Cornblower

Yes, Christie wants AG.

Which is another reason to vote for Hillary.

Porky Prime

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

...

I’m kicking myself for not using this line sooner.

Unsurprised

I’m stealing this.

...

I’m beginning to think we don’t exist in reality. We’re actually just characters in someone’s deranged farce about the downfall of civilization.

...

Just imagine if Trump had chosen Santorum.

Senor Weaselo

Will the new government acknowledge the Armenian genocide? Stay tuned and find out!
/We all know the answer’ll be no

Anyway, I’ve been at the beach all day. It’s a long story. Maybe you’ll hear it when I get home, but in the meantime the ass-slaps are on me.
