Your “Slick Willie’s Back” Tuesday Open Thread

NFL Updates:

  • Cowboys DE Randy Gregory is facing additional suspension above his four games already scheduled. At this point, 6-10 looks like a pipe dream in Jerry World.
  • The [*Redacted] s are considering Greg Hardy as a replacement for Junior Galette. And thus Dan Snyder returned to his natural domain of bad ownership.
  • The Lions replacement for Megatron appears to be Anquan Boldin.
  • Jake Long signed with the Ravens; the Falcons released Devin Hester.
  • Today’s PUP list additions:
    • Jordy Nelson
    • Louis Murphy
    • J.R. Sweezy
    • Tyler Eifert

A couple of Packers QB stories round out the daily coverage I care to present:

  • Forever earning Mooch’s enmity, Deanna Favre will present Brett Favre for induction into the Hall of Fame.
  • Aaron Rodgers revealed on “Any Given Wednesday” what the true meaning of “OMAHA” is. All this time, I thought it was a steak advert Pey-Pey managed to sneak into game broadcasts, like Rodgers’ ‘Discount Double Check’.

Finally, Bashaud Breeland brought his bulldog puppies to training camp, where they are, unsurprisingly, a big hit among staff and fans.

The Vine is even cuter.

Not much exciting about tonight’s Democratic Convention coverage. Here’s the agenda. The official poll will be held to confirm Hillary’s nomination; there will be a bunch of boring speeches by courageous people; and at least 1-2 outbursts from the crowd. I’m sure the report from the LGBT caucus will be riveting. It’ll all come to a head about 10:00 EDT, when Bill Clinton gets up and tries to validate his wife without sounding like a smug prick and/or a guy planning a dynasty.

It doesn’t help when places like the NY Times is openly speculating about what Bill will need to do in order to both stay busy and keep out of trouble. Good thing Chelsea’s already married and producing photogenic grandchildren.

Watch if you dare; debate as we do.

Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB: Cubs @ White Sox – 7:00 – ESPN (National game)
  • WWE: Smackdown Live – 8:00 – USA

Alternative programming:

  • CW: 
    • 8:00 – Whose Line Is It Anyway?
    • 9:00 – MADtv – a new iteration of the old FOX staple

Nights like tonight really raise the anticipation for preseason football. SAVE US, ROGER!

The best MST3K episodes were with Joel as host and Mike as head writer and occasional guest character. My favorite was when they were watching a particularly bad “Hercules” movie from the 60’s and Mike appears as a drunk and addled Steve Reeves.

“You could buy these, um, big jugs of wine for, like, um, sixty cents….”

Brick Meathook

I just looked it up. “Hercules Unchained” was the episode.

And it was thirteen cents a bottle.

My how our memories can be corrupted.

So Hillary is winng does that mean Otto will come back?

I barely remember him. When did he stop commenting on KSK, anyway?

I think he got banned a few months before The Crappening

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates that one-fourth of the American workforce may be eligible for repayment or loan-forgiveness programs; but being murdered ain’t one of them.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Warrenton, MO is a malformed hair on a pimple on Satan’s right asscheek. I would legitimately burn it to the ground if it weren’t a waste of a perfectly good match.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I know nothing about it to be honest.
The joke has more to do with how much I hate Warrenton, NC….and why.

blaxabbath

Note to self: never move to any place named Warrenton.

The Padres proceeded to walk in a run, give up a fielder’s choice for a run, and then lose on a walk off wild pitch.

Hey — you’ll always have the Chargers.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I read that as “the Clippers” for a second and now am twice as sad.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

The convention has gotten me excited about the Democratic nominee a couple times tonight with their hype, then I remember it is Hillary and go back to reluctant support.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I know what you mean – there is very little Hillary can do at this point to make me want to vote for her more. Of course, short of Donald Trump getting caught in some kind of Freaky Friday situation, there’s not much that could happen that would make me want to vote for her less.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ok, team, jury duty in the am. GET EXCITED!

Remember saying loudly “Does the defendant look foreign? ‘Cause I need to know. NOW!” Some marshalls may even get you coffee.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Holy shit that’s some serious production value. Makes the RNC’s bumper materials look like a pile of puke.

Gratliff

Was thinking that during the produced pieces. The surplus money is definitely starting to show.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That music video locked up my vote

Unsurprised

I really miss that man as President.

Sill Bimmons

NAFTA, repeal of Glass-Steagall, mandatory sentencing, prison privatization, the Telecommunications Act, the fuzzy intervention…yup. Good times.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

That is depressing Sill. Posting facts ruins my rose tinted glasses view of his presidency

Gratliff

You didn’t even mention the DMCA. And there’s the problem with Clinton’s administration. It sometimes felt like he was just doing shit for the sake of doing shit. NAFTA ended up being shit, though I was all of 10 when it went into effect, so I can’t remember if it seemed like a good idea at the time. I still can’t wrap my head around repealing Glass-Steagall. I always assumed he was trying to appease the witch hunt. There’s a bunch of shit he talks about with regret. Maybe he was too busy trying to fuck the help to think straight. Either way, it’s frustrating. I imagine it’s how conservatives would look at Reagan if they were capable of intellectual honesty. Sure, he was an icon and made everybody feel good and safe, but a lot of what he did fucked a lot of people for no reason.

Unsurprised

Without the DMCA there wouldn’t be an Internet today. Social media wouldn’t exist if they didn’t carve out the web host Safe Harbor.

Gratliff

Is that an argument for or against?

Unsurprised

I think the Internet was a mistake.

Unsurprised

Anyway, it’s in favor. I kind of like having copyright protections on my work.

Gratliff

I don’t want to regress to the 20 year old Digital Rights Hippy me, but the DMCA is a poorly worded, vague beast of a legislation where “copyright circumvention tool” can be applied to everything from sophisticated cracking software to a fucking crescent wrench in the right circumstances. The scope of it is ridiculous, and if it was ever enforced to the letter of the law, as opposed to being a tool for the RIAA and MPAA and DRM creators to bludgeon engineers, researchers, and students with when they’re afraid their shit isn’t as good as they advertised, we’d have to throw out half the shit we own to fully comply with it.

Unsurprised

Yeah, well.

blaxabbath

Sill is right though. Clinton just road the Bush successes while the Taliban planned 9/11.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

I thought Saddam did 9/11?

Gratliff

There is a stark, stark contrast in tones between the two conventions. Curious to see what hindsight makes of the RNC’s End Of The World Apocalyptacular in a few years.

Unsurprised

Basically a remake of The Last Days in Vietnam.

King Hippo

It’s so weird for him to be OLD.

BTW, I have shaken hands with Wild Bill, and those mitts are like shovels.

Gratliff

I don’t give a fuck. I love to hear Bill Clinton talk.

Unsurprised

Yep

Kungjitsu

I’ll vote for Trump if he’s willing to leave his wife alone with this dude from Arkansas for 10 minutes*

*Melania would get fucked.

I watched so many bad orators at the Republican Convention. Her speech was well delivered and she is hot. Both surprised me coming from someone related to Donald

http://freecruisetickets.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ivanka-trump-stuff-ivanka-trump.jpg

And most of the policy content in her speech was from the Democratic Party platform

It’s okay, you’ve learned of your mistake, and are working to correct it.

Sill Bimmons

Vin Scully just now:

“(Chris Archer) has a terrible time in the first inning, ordinarily throws quite a few pitches, is much better in the middle innings, and then gets whaled on again after the seventh.”

SonOfSpam

Vin Scully is the greatest announcer ever in any sport.

Brings me back to watching games as a kid with my grandpa, and I’m pretty sure everyone has a comment just like that (probably not with MY grandpa, but still).

Sill Bimmons

He’s clearly well into the DGAF portion of his Farewell Tour.

Porky Prime

After I read that Vin eats Jolly Ranchers to keep his throat moistened, I can’t not hear it rattling around in his mouth when he’s talking. Love that guy though.

Gratliff

The next 3 months should be this non-stop. Stop with the executive experience bullshit and stop with the mocking of Donald Trump. Just hammer away with past accomplishments and stories of effective, progressive liberal activism.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah. THAT’LL keep the attention to the American electorate.

/points at Gratliff, whispers behind hand

Get a load of the eternal optimist over here.

Sill Bimmons

THIS MISSY ELLIOTT I CALL HER CRAZY ABE BECAUSE “BOW DICKETY BOW DICKETY DICKETY BOW BOW” SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING GRANDPA SIMPSON WOULD SAY IF HE WENT OFF HIS MEDS

But would she have an onion on her belt? Highly unlikely.

Only half watching Bill, most of my attention is going into finding dog pics

Yes, folks, we’re going to hit every state in this speech.

Sill Bimmons

You know which tattoo you never regret?

The one you don’t get.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t regret any of the three I have.

But the next one? Could be!

Unsurprised

A whites-only swimming pool, I’m sure.

The Fox News chyron is nothing but curse words.

Horatio Cornblower

While we’re listing Bill’s accomplishments can we expect “He banged an intern, stuck a cigar in her vagina, lied about, got impeached but DIDN’T GET CONVICTED!”?

Just curious.

ballsofsteelandfury

You forgot “decorated a blue dress”.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Might as well, Trump would probably see it as a challenge and try to one-up him by telling a tale of doing something even better/worse.

Horatio Cornblower

Fucking hell that photo might as well be the alternate poster for the ‘Flowers in the Attic’ movie.

Sill Bimmons

Seriously, who the fuck is this Missy Elliot/Alec Baldwin ad supposed to appeal to?

Ok, that made me laugh prolly cause of the beer but still.

Nah, it’s not just the beer, that was legitimately awesome.

Sill Bimmons

Amazon is the largest retailer on the planet, worth half a trillion fucking dollars.

This is their new flagship product, the thing that is supposed to forever change how all of humanity will interact with the internet.

And that’s the ad their agency came up with. And that the Amazon marketing execs greenlit.

If I was Jeff Bezos I’d start my own space program just so I could shoot those responsible into the center of the sun.

HOW THE FUCK YA DOIN BOYS?

My kid is watching Jem and the Holograms on HBO (yeah, we rich), and I’m not demanding a change to the DNC. Am I a bad liberal, or do I just have good taste? (Also, Madam First Lady killed everyone else’s speeches in advance.)

Yeah, I just got lazy and went to Google Images first. That’s why I’m an utter failure as a professional, and why my DFO shares are only worth $6.

It’s totally cool if I just cut and paste it, put quotes around it and then write “Beerguyrob” afterwords.

Which I am now sorely tempted to do, because I am an asshole.
