Chargers/Vikes-I just get the irrational feeling that San Diego should do better than the 4-12 mark (victories over the likes of the Lions, Browns, Jags and Dolphins) they posted last year. I guess they just stopped believing, which was one of the few things they did stop last year.
As far as Minny is concerned, they will not be dressing Matt Kalil who will never, ever be confused with Khalil Mack. Ever.
Well, that’s it. It doesn’t get much lazier than this. Enjoy the game (or games, not sure if I’ll be posting another open thread or attending yet another family function later on today. That’s three in four days for those of you not counting.
Anyone have any advice as to removing several layers of paint from metal, probably brass or bronze? There aren’t too many things in my condo which have been painted over, but some original fittings on the back door ar an exception and I want to clean them off.
What kind of paint?
There’s always scraping, which is a pain in the neck…good for top layers if the paint is heavy, but then you have to be careful as you get to the metal. If you can remove the fittings you have more options. Toothbrushes are great for cleaning this stuff…sometimes you can break it down with soap & water, but if you have layers, I would doubt it. There are some cleaners out there like Simple Green…check out this video:

And this one:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb6FdPy2sa4&w=560&h=315%5D
Some good info there on getting paint off of metal minis, which is not too different from what you’re doing.
Don’t think I can remove any of the fittings, but scraping is probably an option to start. Thanks for the references on the cleaners, I’m going to need something like that. Toothbrushes are good stuff, always used them for the fiddly bits of saddle cleaning, i’ll be sure to tranfer my current one to metal cleaning duty. Cheers!

You don’t need the IMG button, WCS. Everyone knows that.
/found out the hard way a half-hour ago
Just rip off the band aid and do the kinja migration now
So do we need “this is great” AND “thumbs up”?
DTZM corrupted the thumbs up button to say “This is great” if you hover over it. All hope is lost, you just have to guess who loves your idiotic joke about a 3rd string QB…

Kettle? That’s just for tea, hon. The alcohol goes in the bucket.
IF I WANT TO DROWN MYSELF IN A KETTLE I WILL DO SO AND YOU CAN NOT TELL ME OTHERWISE.
It’s important to keep that DFO feel, but also remind you of LinkedIn. Business ppl forget that.

Wait, what..? Lethal Weapon, the series? OK, then, I’m launching the missiles. Sorry, guys, humanity had a good run and all, but it’s obviously time for the ants to take over.
It has Damon Wayans Jr in it though! (I mean that in a good way)
Sacrilege!
Yeah. I agree on this as well. I was just saying.
There is a fantastic documentary called “Tales from the Script” about script writing in cinema and it can carry over into the TV market as well.
The gist of the movie is that if you think of the very worst movie you have ever seen, chances are, it had an amazing script that was destroyed through the process of making said film. TV writing is basically the same way. Because of this, and the costs involved in making new material, there is a huge drive in rehashing shit on the cheap.
Yeah, supposedly the shitty Kurt Russell flick “Soldier” had an amazing script that was filtered down into tripe.
I saw a bumper sticker today that read “Giant Meteor 2016 – Just End it Already”
I would accept the David Ortiz Year-Long Retirement Suck Off Fest if he were always referred to as “Documented and Undisputed P.E.D. User David Ortiz” so we don’t forget he’s a documented and undisputed P.E.D. user.

My Reflection: “Throw up. Throw up! THROW UP!”

Got it. Stoopid useless buttons confooze Beastmode.
So does that mean we can just drop video and image links in without these buttons?
Yeah unless the site you get them from has restrictions set up. Which I should know about more but I always just go for the easy fix and get them and then never learn.
Worked, then it didnt.

I’m here all week folks. Sporadically.
Kids watching Despicable Me 2 for the 98th time. The part with the Minions singing the drinking song is still good, at least.
OK, WTF happened to the site? It’s…different. Again.
And there’s no “This is great” on the articles anymore? How will I know who likes HRTN?
Think before making changes here, people! Think about how it affects meeeeeeeeee!
I have been harassing DTZM all day nitpicking the update. I am missing knowing who loves me too.
Right? How do we know who to pay attention to, in the hope of more love, and who to blithely ignore?
SHUT UP! They might take the edit button away.

So no, then. Well I got it to work yesterday, that’s enough I guess.
Hit refresh
I see a blank post followed by a text link. Do you see different?
Just absolutely random thing. I love the NFL season starting 9/11. It is my birthday so I am gonna get really drunk, ignore people that love me and watch football until there is cake. But what I really like is the date said without mourning and/or pity on me for my birthday in commercials every 5 min all preseason.
I just had to edit that comment twice, because of verb tense and redundancy problems first, then to fix a basic typo because I can no ediyrt corrrectly. What I am really saying is I like the new edit function.
Are you seeing Georgia font now?
Yes. And it’s freakin’ me out, man!
Yes. Use a Sans Serif font though. Serifs are the pokey and curvy things on the letters.
BAH I like my Serifs, but squeaky wheel and all. Refresh again.
I prefer them too, you will statistically get more complaints with a Serif though.

If I ever die early and unexpectedly like I will. I need someone to come to my house and steal my laptop. I don’t want you to delete my mostly ready for DFO picture/archive folder, I just don’t want it lost. Do what you want to my music. (I hid it very well, it is under “Other bookmarks > Stuff”)

I’ve hired a team of Ex-Soviet Mercenaries to break into my house and steal all hard drives and flash drives one my death announcement is published on the local newspaper. Its the safest way.
That’s up to a week after your death. That’s way too long to let it sit unprotected.
A girl I, uh, hooked up with, told me a story about how a relative of hers tasked her with disposing of certain things as he approached his death. I don’t think any of it was overly shocking, only that he didn’t want certain family members from knowing it.
Frankly, I think this could be a good business. I’ll bet a lot of people would pay good money for the discreet disposal of certain aspects of their life they’d rather others not know about postmortem.
When an uncle I was close to died, I was the first one who went into his bedroom to start cleaning things out. I found a lot of journals with super sexual shit in it that I’m glad I was the first one to find. I don’t know if anyone beyond me would have removed the items without outing him and condemning him. If he’d have died a few days later, I’d have been back to college half the country away, and this almost certainly would have become a problem. It’s really a matter of dumb luck who gets to go through your shit when you’re dead, so password protect the fuck out of everything and learn how to set complex file permissions.
You’re a good man.

Surprising, the shot of sad fans in St. Louis was cut from the “Home Sweet Home” NFL commercial.
And they made me spend the whole damned day there, too.

That is not how the rules are written
If it somehow is. Just send a corner across the line before the snap every time and aim the the QB’s legs while he gets an intentional grounding
They are talking about Kaep again. So pic (I know this is late, I took my time finding one)
http://65.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyc45aFZIx1qfm2v7o1_500.jpg
What is the latest Kaep controversy? I noticed that my redneck colleagues on facebook have all these ranting posts about him.
He opted not to stand during the national anthem to make a statement about the state of race in America.
The responses have been about as frothy and unhinged as you’d expect.
He can get boned.
Ah…I suspected as much.
Good on Kaep.
We’re currently hitting the “deep dive” portion of the scandal with the more intellectual types doing exposes on Francis Scott Key and the troublesome extra verses from the Star Spangled Banner. The war of 1812 doesn’t reflect terribly well on America, not the least of which is the part where we demanded England give the slaves they freed in efforts to use them against us, and they said “No.” and we pissed and moaned about it.
“There is no penalty for Roughing the Passer. The defender was respectfully disagreeing with the quarterback’s political opinions”
I’m not going to stand up for the flag, but I will take all your money. Thanks. This is bigger than football, but I’m still going to be playing football. So, just keep in mind I’m not being selfish. I just want to make that clear. Best way to go about this is to take a half measure. Also did you see me in the latest body issue?? Screw America! Buy my jersey! Later! #Tak7ngA7tand
Yup…I’ve learned the same thing. If you are a minority, never…EVER express an opinion because white people freak the fuck out.
It’s not about expressing the opinion. This guy is a self-important jackwagon. But I will stifle. Let’s just say I’m not a fan of anything really.
Just wanted to pop in and say fuck Devon Still, Bill O’Brien, and the Texans.
What did Devon Still do?
Cheap shot to Palmer in the head in a preseason game.
http://www.chron.com/sports/texans/article/Texans-Devon-Still-emphasizes-no-cheap-shot-on-9189701.php
Well, let’s see what the game has to offer.
Joe Buck. Thanks, life.
Jesus these referees are awful.
I’m not even watching and I concur.
DTZM is hard at work still. You fixed the text inside the comment box not what gets posted. Also this is much more readable than the other font for me but you don’t want a serif font in your comment section. Email me what you are looking at if you want and I’ll try to help you out so you are not doing it alone. I’m not really caring about this game anyways. [email protected]
Can you change the font to Comic Sans?
Sent from Cleveland
For reals, the size of the font in the posts needs to be bigger.
I will return to shaking my fist at clouds.
It would be perfect if it were the same size as the comments font.
Boy, they hid that fucker in this theme. Too big now?
Ha I sure as hell did.
If he lost that ball after crossing the goal line from the 2 it would have been a TD. In the endzone it would have been the same call of no catch.
I had my fantasy football draft with all my Mexican Raider fan friends. I think y’all have been disappointed so much in the recent past that the optimism was as guarded as the gold in Fort Knox in Goldfinger.
I.e. Badly because all the people guarding it inhaled a bunch of intoxicants?
Let this be a lesson to defensive backs. Keep swiping at the ball, even after the whistle, cause who the hell knows!
And we still don’t know how to tell if a catch is a fucking catch.
All right, folks, let’s see if “catch plus five steps plus being tackled before losing the balls” counts as “catch”.
This is gonna be ruled as a no catch, but it was a catch
I am mainly watching this Ari/Hou game to figure out how bad the Bears are gonna lose week one. My early assessment. Pretty badly.
Hey NFL, we get it the season is about to start, that is why we are watching it! Quit with the stupid assed hype commercials. Also fuck Skip Bayless with a rusty screwdriver.
I wouldn’t be interested in Skip Bayless’ opinion even if it were something useful, like “in my opinion, your hair is on fire.”
He would never bring up anything relevant like letting you know that. He would rant about Lebron for an hour while you burned to death.
It’s truly amazing how seriously he takes his job spouting opinions. I believe he 100% believes in all of them and doesn’t think it’s just a matter of entertainment.
Reading about his life, he’s almost a tragic figure.

Honest question for the Commentariate.
Corvettes and Harley motorcycles are obvious midlife crisis toys right? As soon as I see one on the road, I assume its some asshole lawyer or some shit that has abandoned his wife and kids, took out a shitload of loans, and is two years from a stress induced heart attack.
Either ride a Harley or buy a mail order bride I reckon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLPE164XG6E
If they don’t have a mullet and/or are over 30 then yeah, midlife crisis/divorce.
Corvette yes. Harley no. My dad bought his 35 years ago. His marriage did fall apart but that was because he was an asshole and like 15 years later. And a ton of my cousins and uncles have them. I guess this could be a regional thing because Harley is just down in Milwaukee.
I had one of these until it got stolen (mine was older and not as nice). My brother had a Suzuki. We were looked at as the weird ones in the family for not having enough money to get a Harley

The Houston Texans are the team, whenever I am doing trivia or some shit, and I am suppose to list all the teams in the various divisions…that I always forgets exists.
I get to hear Vin Scully call an inning of a Cubs game. Delightful.
You just don’t get commentary like Scully’s anywhere. He’s going telling details stories about players on the other team. He knows all sorts facts about players. He flows completely naturally from these stories back to timely play-by-play. And he needs no one support him.
To think, we’ll have to listen to Phil Fucking Simms this year doing football games. That’s like going from 21-year whiskey to fucking lighter fluid.
You can listen to Vin Scully calling a televised game if the television was broken and he would make it seem MORE vivid.
Pressure cookers are pretty fucking sweet.
