Your “THIS IS NOT A DRILL!-The Redux” Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Although his powers of evil are completely capable of making it happen, not even RGshithead (that’s Roger Goodell) would cancel six games.  Right? (my glass is half full btw) So here we are-cheering for football itself, our fave teams and most importantly, NO INJURIES. This is who we are, folks. This is our wheelhouse, this is our equivalent of volunteering for Habitat For Humanity. This is where we do good work. I’m a bit leery yakking about teams in too much detail because we’ve got some awesomely jizztastic team previews in the pipeline but here she goes-

Was/Atl-OBJ-molester Josh Norman makes his dee-butt for the Redacted. A general sense of hopefulness is overshadowing the eventual reality of Daniel Snyder’s overwhelming doucheness taking this team down to 6-10. It really doesn’t matter what the perpetual do-nothing Falcons do in the pre-season. You may want to cast an eye towards CJ Goodwin, a wr that has converted to cb and is turning heads. That’s the NFL’s version of Cool Story Bro.

TB/Philly-Absolute nobody Cameron Bates has stolen the TE job from Austin (The Hyphen) Jenkins. [wanking motion] This may be the last time you get to enjoy the pedestrian work of rb Mike James. Philly-wise, highly-prized qb rookie (pun alert!) Carson Wontz go missing for the majority of the 2nd half.

N.O/N.E.-The twilight of Drew Brees’ career is upon us and if several tens of thousands of fantasy players get their way, CJ Spiller will be occupying the same fate. Qb-wise Garrett Grayson will get the majority of the work later on in the game. Pats-wise-I fucking hate the team and their fans and this will never change.

Car/Bal-Apparently the Panthers did some Wawesome (that’s Wow! and Awesome! combined) things last year. Perhaps they’ll continue in that vein if Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess win the starting jobs at wr. I can’t remember which height/weight belongs to who but one is 6’4″, 225 and the other is 6’5″, 245. GOOD GOD! Baltimore, in their infinite wisdom, counters with Ryan Mallet.

Jax/Jets-It looks as though the Jags are on their way up-6th rd. rb Brandon Allen is trying to sneak on to the roster by bringing it in the 2nd half. Jalin Marshall, a draftee from Ohio State has lit it up at Jets camp. In Todd Bowles’ war room there is talk of implementing The Marshall Plan at wide receiver.

Den/Chi-Did you know that as anonymous commenters we share 98% of our DNA with Bronc qb Simian? (I spelled it wrong intentionally!) Chicago speaking, Brian Hoyer’s tendency to “not give a shit” is up 74.3% while under the tutelage of Jay Cutler.

 

LET’S GET AT IT, FOLKS-THIS IS WHERE YOU SHINE!

Hot Taek incoming….
Not a huge fan of the music necessarily, but Nicole Scherzinger is mildly attractive…

Speaking of new outputs, which seem to be better than expected….at least initially….

theeWeeBabySeamus

Regarding the Avetts…
The Carpenter has long been my favorite output from them. But True Sadness might surpass it before it’s over.

ALXMAC

The broadcast of when they performed this in NYC on Jimmy Kimmel with the Brooklyn Philharmonic appears to have been permanently scrubbed from the interwebs. I hope this version works:

My 2nd favorite singer/songwriter of the past 15 years. He only does covers aboot once a year:

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow. That’s tremendous. I was vaguely familiar, which is to say I knew the name…..but had never really listened before. That’s soothing and awesome. Thanks for sharing that.

JerBear50

I don’t have any studios, but Live Vol 3 is goddamn great almost from start to finish. I’m a big live guy so I try to buy live albums when I can. Just finally picked up some Billy Joe Shaver yesterday. It’s hard to keep up with all the old shit I still want along with the newer bands, especially since I still pay for them all.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Dunno if those below disappeared for everyone or just me.

everyone – “500 Internal Server Error”. BUTT it’s not just you (happened to me earlier tonite).

JerBear50

I can’t see the ones below either, but for some reason I can’t seem to stay upset about it. All of a sudden I feel the need to clean my teeth.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sand? LOL.

JerBear50

Just an overwhelming urge to floss.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Waxing ftw.

theeWeeBabySeamus

By a vote of 2 to 1 to 0 (sorry Dogs), of course the women win.

Maybe my favorite Nirvana cover ever. Not generally my style of tune, but something about this one worms it’s way under my skin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpDYfkymaSE

theeWeeBabySeamus

Just for comparison’s sake.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbgKEjNBHqM

JerBear50

Not crazy about this track, but Sturgill is fucking great.

theeWeeBabySeamus

He is. And I totally get your point. But for some reason it resonates with me.

JerBear50

I haven’t listened to the new album all the way through, but his last couple were top notch. Avett’s got a new one out too.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ve been overdosing on Avett’s new one actually. It’s fucking fantastic. Then again, I overdose on all their stuff. They are relatively local to me actually…have met them a couple times. Shy, but great guys.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz0JXbwNUk8

JerBear50

I just finally remembered to pull it up on Spotify last night but I was too distracted with work to really get to pay much attention. I have heard one track on the radio (local indie station) a couple times though that I like well enough. Never met them but I’ve seen them. They’re a damn good live band. I’ve got one of their live albums in my car and it gets played pretty regularly.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Funny thing, the shoot for the vid I linked up there is in on location in the Asheville (NC) Airport, which I’ve connected thru a few times. It’s weirdly disorienting to see the on location vid.

JerBear50

This is not a bad venue to catch a show, especially for 5 or 10 bucks.

My only gripe is that the text fonts are too small.

JerBear50

The reply button being at the top has thrown me a couple times.

ALXMAC

That and I can apparently edit other folks post (for a few seconds) but not my own.

ALXMAC

(haven’t tried it; not my only gripe but the vid posting makes up for everything)

JerBear50

That seems like not a good idea. Has anyone made sense of the little dots/squares to the left of our names? Any pattern or purpose to it or is it just a glitch?

ALXMAC

I got 2 when I posted this with and now without refreshing the page.

JerBear50

Yeah, no idea.

Doktor Zymm

Quick Poll : Number of fucks you give about the Cubs.
1) I am a virgin and only wish I had fucks to give
2) all the fucks. I like baseball more than copulating
3) some fucks, but not all, I enjoy the Cubs success in a balanced way (if you fall here, you a liar)
4) zero fucks, I have opinions on baseball that I will talk about while drunk, but games are boring and stupid
5) negative fucks, I support a team that hates the Cubs
6) PPHHHTTBBBB a balanced opinion.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You had me at “I’m a virgin”.
/I guess I don’t know when to stfu
//meh

Doktor Zymm

I never understood the virgin fascination. I’ll take people who know what they’re doing, please.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Strictly meant as comedy.
FWIW, I agree with your assessment.

Doktor Zymm

“Hi God!”
“Hi dude!”
“I hear I get to fuck some virgins!”
“Yup! 18 virgins, all 90 years old!”
“Wha????”

Sucks when your clerics are dyslexic.

Mr. Ayo

quattro

theeWeeBabySeamus

Seece.
Yeah that’s right…French dammit!!!!
But yeah, still totally spelled “six.”

ThePirateSloth

I’m #3 because my grandpops was a yuuuuuuge Cubs fan. He died early in 1998 and the Cubs alllllllmost won that season, so it was a personal thing to cheer them on.

Doktor Zymm

Okay, that’s a legit reason. You could probably talk your way around Clark after a game and someone might even buy you a drink.

ALXMAC

3…

Doktor Zymm

I work from home tomorrow. I will work. I will also make awesome tomatillo scrambled egg thing. Should I also take a 4 hour lunch at a burger place near Wrigley where I get air miles?

Unsurprised

Of course

theeWeeBabySeamus

As long as there’s no day game.
If there is, then take a sniper rifle and make it a working lunch.

Unsurprised

What’s this about automated dicks?

theeWeeBabySeamus
Doktor Zymm

Always respect the safe word.

theeWeeBabySeamus

/ummmmmmm
//still knows when to stfu

theeWeeBabySeamus

Worst part? Now I’ll never get the mental image out of my re: yelling at an automated dick.
This will scar me now. I hope you’re happy, Jokey McFunnyPants.
(grumble grumble)

theeWeeBabySeamus

Wow, and that was with the keyboard too. That sucked.

*out of my own head

ALXMAC

As usual, I’m late to the party. What happened with your power?

theeWeeBabySeamus

I live in the sticks. Lately it’s been going out 3-4 times a day, usually only for a moment. Power company denies there’s a problem.

Tonight it went out and stayed out, though not as long as the automated dick (don’t say it, Dok) on the recording predicted. But still…this is getting old.

Truthfully, I’m admittedly unbalanced regarding other things, so that’s why I really wanted to yell at the automated dick. (Oh goddammit…get out of my head!!!!!!)

ALXMAC

Well that SUCKS and I don’t blame you for wanting to VENT. Power companies can be real ASSHOLES sometimes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Normally, it wouldn’t bother me as much. But right now, staying in touch with someone on a “just in case” basis has me a little more insane than normal.

So narrow now that your reply button is a no show below (oooh…triple rhyme). But yeah, Sara Jean is free to call anytime as well.
I mean I have no idea who that is.

ALXMAC

How tha hell do you have a tie in a swimming event? Shouldn’t it go to OT or a shoot-out?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Which part of the pool is the warmest is the tie-breaker.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I suggest a “who can hold their breath under water the longest” sudden death.

JerBear50

Robert Wagner approves.

Senor Weaselo

Not a precise enough clock?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Cards get screwed.
Cubs’ fans still suck.
I hate the power company.
So yeah, normal day.
At least I’m (slightly) less homicidal tonight.
So I got that going for me.

Doktor Zymm

At least you know you have the truth on your side.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, that’s a huge comfort. Thanks Dok.

Stories From The Acela: The Rudest Man In The World

So I get on the 12:28 Acela in Metropark on my way to see some people in Wilmington.

It’s way more crowded than usual, so I get stuck sitting across a table from this guy who looks like he just came out of a casting call to play Mr. Horton in the inevitable darkest timeline Diff’rent Strokes reboot.

He gives me a look and and ankle kick after I sit down. I get hit on by guys every now and again, no big whoop, headphones go on, not interested.

He then proceeds to eat for the entire hour and three minutes of the trip.

His menu items included:

–tuna salad on a salad
–tuna salad on an everything bagel
–two different types of smelly cheese
–some homemade fruit cup thing that got all over the table
–an apple
–a plum that got all over him
–2 caffeine-free Diet Cokes

Every time he would put a container away, he’d bring another out. It was like some nightmarish culinary magic trick. What I initially thought was his entire weekly grocery shop taking up the seat next to him turned out to be his customary Thursday train lunch.

There simply is no room in a society for a person such as this.

Doktor Zymm

Window air conditioner has done well, but parts of my condo are still around 85+ degrees. I’ve done no pants, wtf haven’t I done no shirt. I’m not a fat guy at a Packers game in January, it’s okay if I take it off.

Sill Bimmons

Easy on the pacemakers there, Trev.

Doktor Zymm

Fuck off or recommend a decent ventless AC system. This building is from 1909. I have one window AC unit in my dining room.

Drink of choice for preseason Saturday game: Bearded Russians

Now I know what you’re gonna say: “Pirate, we always knew you favored Bears”, but trust me, this drink is delicious and does not come with a side of Dolph Lundgren or La Fours.

– Stout (I use Anderson Valley Bourbon Barrell Stout)
– Kahlua
– Vodka of choice
– Cream or milk

Serve over ice

ballsofsteelandfury

That sounds awesome! Proportions?

ThePirateSloth

I usually go with the standard white russian recipe then add the stout. I’m more of a free pour than measured shots.

Unsurprised

Good parenting: “You can have no pants for ten minutes as a reward if you want.”

Doktor Zymm

Cuanto mas gin?

Mr. Ayo

toda la gin

What should I drink tomorrow night to celebrate (1) return to [preseason] football; (2) kitchen back in operation?

Something that will go with the competence of the football. I hear mouthwash is delicious, maybe some purple drank?

Unsurprised

Margaritas. Use the blender in your functional, electrified kitchen.

The only chocolate we have in the house are a bunch of Tootsie Rolls, so I’m eating yogurt instead.

Preview of the entire season, DFO style. Boobs, Haha (pick one : Jets, 49rs, Cutler), “What a dumb timeout!” (goes to pee, misses most exciting moment of weekend), THOSE BASTARDS!, Probably more boobs, ALL THE DRANK!, Tony Romo dislocates something, Seahawks players won’t share their PEDs with us, MORE DRANK!

Go to the YouTube’s and stuff the Katering Show into your headholes. Funny food/cooking show. 10 minute or less episodes. Nothing to lose.

herodotus450

I don’t know, not enough “OMG you guys, so totally random”s

Senor Weaselo

So in case you missed it (probably did) someone had an “A-Rod shot Harambe” poster. That meme’s still a thing?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah, somehow people on the internet still care about A-Rod

Did I manage to miss all the games? I just started flipping around after the Yankee game and there’s naught but CFL football on any of the usual channels.

Fucking Phelps…can’t even win the 100m Butterfly.

Derp…I am a putz…It was the semi final.

Seriously though…it seems like every fucking five minutes there is another swimming event.

Horatio Cornblower

They’re separated by hours, NBC just edits them that way.

Horatio Cornblower

Hours or 38 minutes apparently.

Jesus fuck that’s nuts.

JustStopDude

These are being shown live. Phelps had something like 35 minutes between winning the 400m medley final and the semi of the next event.

I admit my error but stand by my implication that NBC sucks ass.

The NFL giving Sunday Ticket to DirecTV exclusively but DirecTV does not carry NFLNetwork is more likely a pissing contest among capitalist hogs. How does it make business sense to GOD FORBID offer both on a single package. Fucking life I hate you.

I am now trying to get my son to write “Tom Brady eats dog balls” on the suite window.

Horatio Cornblower

He’s refusing. Says there are too many over-caffeinated 11 year olds in the suite and he’d never get out alive.

I am recommending he grab a liquor bottle and start cleaning house, but am open to other suggestions.

Senor Weaselo

Yeah, you don’t want to mess with those 11-year olds or else they’ll do the things they say they’ll do during rounds of Call of Duty.

blaxabbath

How many 11 year olds could you fight?

Kim Il Sung claimed he could turn sand into rice. So either he was lying, or was just a total bastard. And that’s not an exclusive or.
