Your “Hold Off On Drinking, It’s ‘Annie!’ Day” Wednesday Open Thread

Because when it’s preseason,

https://youtu.be/Yop62wQH498

there’s football tomorrow!


NFL Headlines:Homer - that bean I ate

  • Bruce Arians has been released from hospital. Must’ve been that bean he ate.
  • Steve Smith passed his physical. Looking forward to his demands people ice up.
  • Tomy Romo is expected to play Friday versus the Dolphins.
    • He has to, or they won’t let him at the post-game buffet, and you know how much he loves eclairs!
  • John Elway is “not fretting” about the Broncos QB situation.
    • Well, why should he? He won last year with a combination of Y.A. Tittle and Dan McGwire.
  • Tennessee has faith in Andre Johnson returning to form, because why else would they trade 2015 second-round receiver Dorial Green-Beckham to the Eagles?
    • Mind you, the Titans have a better quarterback (at present) so for this year maybe it’s not so dumb.
  • Adding another floor of sadness to the Factory is news that RGIII has filed for divorce.
    • Nice to see the Browns putting their preseason to good use developing his eventual excuses.


Finally, on a serious note, si.com has a worth-your-time story about Erick’s Kramer & Hipple and their separate but similar suicide attempts.

Like the previously told story about Eric Kramer in the Detroit Free Press, Duchess’ soapbox, and of course Ape’s seminal piece back at the old place, it references symptoms like depression and CTE and tells tales about guys who had reached the end of their ropes.

All of these stories will make you reflect in some way, and are a constant reminder that any disease or injury of the mind is a serious thing that needs to be treated professionally.


Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB: Red Sox @ Orioles – 7:00 (ESPN)
  • Olympics:
    • NBC – 8:00 – Track & Field; Women’s beach volleyball gold medal match
    • NBCSN – 9:00 – Men’s basketball – Serbia vs Croatia; bronze medal beach volleyball
      • Note: if you can, rewatch the “Once Brothers” 30 for 30 on Vlade Divac (Serbia) and Dražen Petrović (Croatia) prior to the game

Scotchy’s got you tomorrow and Friday for Week 2 of preseason Open Thread action. In the meantime, and in between time, enjoy your evening, and remember – it’s not a dream.

DON’T LEAVE THE HOUSE NAKED!

i thought I was very clear when I asked you not to tell anyone about that.

Brocky

Obligatory:

Brocky promptly gets punched by people sick of that skit

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am still pissed at the USWNT for not getting to the semi finals or finals. I would put the blame on Hope Solo but she is hot, also she would hit me. So I blame the coach that took out her best not injured defender in the last game to put in someone injured that played 20 min with a break before they used another sub on her. This was all a preamble for a Kelley O’Hara pic, sorry, it went on too long

You folks keep talking about these hats. What the fuck are you referring to?

I’ve seen them perform this about 4 times live.

A Midwest Festival staple.

Four guitar army!

Usually opened for Cheap Trick, Molly Hatchet or REO Speedwagon.

Head East was usually in the mix too.

Unsurprised

Why?

Brocky

because, like you so eloquently said….

people suck

Unsurprised

Stop using my words against me

theeWeeBabySeamus

Inorite?
That’s the kinda shit I’m talkin’ ’bout. Brocky just earned himself a good yelling at in my world.
(totally only kidding…which probably goes without saying…but I’ve scared too many people lately, most of whom deserved it…sigh)

theeWeeBabySeamus

da Fuq dude?????????????

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You fucking pussy.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not at the moment. But I’m hopeful for later.
Oh wait…I thought that was a question.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You fucker, you.

WCS

Lil’ WCS didn’t sleep at all last night. Just up, until 09:15. Tonight, she fell asleep at 23:00 with no fuss. Since then, the dog can’t stop walking around back there, and shaking every ten minutes, causing its’ tags to jingle far-too-loudly. If the dog wakes up the kid, I am no responsible for my actions.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Unsurprised

You need to force one of them to start roaming the neighborhood. I’d suggest the dog, but I’m a cat person.

Horatio Cornblower

Take the tags off the dogs for fuck’s sake. This isn’t rocket sciene, it;s parenting!

Brocky

no, no, no…

hats you know, those things you put on your head:

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, there’s something in there I’d put on my head. But it ain’t the fucking hat. Just saying.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m sorry….did I mistake or are we asking for encores now?
tWBS weeps happily.

Fans suck, but sometimes they’re clever.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have never seen the original, but that fan vid is definitely better than whatever the actual soundtrack was for that trailer.

Unsurprised

The usual John Williams crap he’s been coasting on for 4 decades

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

They should have gone Bear McCreary. He has a very distinct style so I know it is him most of the time, but he has made really unique and specific music for a ton of sci fi shows.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I had hoped abusing alcohol would get me a good night of sleep, it failed and I am wide awake at midnight instead.

Unsurprised

Wooooooooooooooo!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m falling out early tonight gents. This is it for me I’m afraid.

There we go!

Brocky

good night sweet prince. catch on the flip side

Unsurprised

I was kind of a dick when someone asked me about Breaking Bad. I didn’t mean to be, but it’s just one of those things that gets tedious to answer just because I’m from Albuquerque. It’s making me hate that show because it’s about a piece of shit who does evil things and is the kind of dickhead ruining the city.

theeWeeBabySeamus

As someone who has made it his mission in life to be a dick to just about everyone, especially recently, and even the woman he loves (though for her it is good-natured and she knows it and gives as good as she takes, giggity)….

I say embrace your inner dick.

I really gotta learn to phrase things better.

Unsurprised

I’m terrified of offending or pissing off anyone so long as I don’t have an office job.

theeWeeBabySeamus

For years I went thru life worrying about other people’s feelings who couldn’t give a shit about mine.
Don’t waste you concerns on those types of people.
I’m as sweet as can me to people who deserve it.
But these days, people who don’t deserve it often quickly get threatened with bodily harm, whether I really mean it or not.
And no….I’m not joking.
You take care of you…fuck them.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Give yourself permission to be a dick to the folks who deserve it. It’s actually very liberating.
The trick is to remember to be kind to the folks who deserve it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That is so wrong. In multiple ways.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You fucking radical environmentalists.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Also…fictional.
If people can’t separate it from real life….be a dick and tell them to suck yours.

theeWeeBabySeamus

STOP THAT!!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Retro redneck, anyone?
Tough titties, you’re getting it anyway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMmTkKz60W8

Mr. Ayo

Why can’t that dude spell?
Also, FREEBIRD!!!

Unsurprised

Because Alabama skools

Unsurprised

People suck.

Mr. Ayo

I wish more ladies did

theeWeeBabySeamus

I agree with both of you.

Brocky

People in general? Yes,

Nurses? No they don’t suck

http://www.eyesaiditbefore.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/sarah2.gif

not literally anyway

theeWeeBabySeamus

Some do.
Trust me.
Also nursing students. Trust me.

Brocky

Do they have nurses’s caps during?

Brocky

nurses caps during

jesus christ i am typoing like crazy tonight

Brocky

wbs, you disappoint me, I was waiting for my personal favorite:

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fair point…my oversight to be sure.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And FWIW, I disappoint everyone.

Brocky

I also need to learn to embed properly

theeWeeBabySeamus
theeWeeBabySeamus

Cut off everything after the = sign and see what happens.
Granted, i’m talking out my ass and have no idea if that will work. But that’s what I did just now.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The 2nd = sign that is.

Oh you bastard.

Moar old clips with shitty audio anyone?
(as an aside…would pay good money to watch James Young beat the hell out of Dennis DeYoung)

Last one, I promise. And you all know I can be trusted when I say that. Right?
RIGHT?????

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO…I’ve had a few occasions in my life when women were will to trail deez nuts…but…
Wait, I think I misunderstood.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And I repeat…what hat?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Forgot to bring the cuffs, wouldn’t spank me.
2/10….jerked off anyway.

theeWeeBabySeamus

/might have lied
//that never happens

Somebody apparently had the spiced hummus. I hate that the audio on this track is so bad.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I have a terrible idea: let’s adapt the movie Concussion into a musical.

theeWeeBabySeamus

My mind just went to dark places. But fun places.
You sir, are a bad influence. My mom says I can’t hang out with you anymore.

Unsurprised

it went to a dark place, or does it just have a dark spot on it?

Unsurprised

Hey everybody

Probably my fav Blondie track. And I will now stop trying to screw Moose….errrr…screw with Moose. Because I know I’ll regret it.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I can’t tell if that looks more like Mariah Carey or Mary Carey

theeWeeBabySeamus

At this point, does it even matter?

Brocky

Now isn’t that better

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Soooo, standard weirdness around these parts?

theeWeeBabySeamus

And you’re gonna act surprised now? Get your fucked up ass in here.
/perhaps poorly phrased

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I said standard, didn’t I?

theeWeeBabySeamus

O face…just saying.
