Your “Was That Good For You Too?” Friday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Cam showed “no indications of concussion” last night, so that’s why he stayed in the game. Uh huh – and the Broncos D wasn’t headhunting.
    • Cam’s dad alleges chicanery & poor officiating, but not outright racism, in how he was treated during the game.
    • the money quote comes from Deadspin:
      • Cam said that he had to undergo concussion protocol in order to talk to the media, which means he received more medical attention before going on ESPN than before returning to an NFL football game against Von Miller.
  • According to sources, sources say Sam Bradford is “quickly learning” the Vikings playbook.
    • Of course he is, because it’s:
      1. Hand the ball to AP.
      2. HAND THE FUCKING BALL TO AP!!!
      3. After the handoff, turtle on the field – we don’t need you getting a concussion.
      4. DON’T FUCKING THROW THE BALL!!!!!
    • I picture Mike Zimmer wrote it special for Bradford. Norv might try to experiment, and you can’t have that.
  • Still with the Vikings: Teddy’s surgery went okay. He’s “optimistic”, but whenever I read the phrase “multi-ligament reconstruction” I pause a bit.
  • Sad news: Sam Wyche is on a heart transplant list. Too bad he never got the ability to live without one from his time working for the Brown family.
  • All players will be sporting 9/11 decals on their helmets Opening Sunday, in respect of the 15th anniversary. They should look nice next to all those kneeling Seahawks.

Finally, the injury bug seems poised to wreck peoples’ fantasy pools:

  • Jamaal Charles – doubtful
  • GRONK – questionable doubtful out?
  • Kyle Long – out [Edit: or questionable]
  • Jeff Janis – questionable
  • Mike Pouncey – out
  • Tyler Eifert – out

Over 1400 comments last night, despite the occasional server glitch, and I think we all know how that happened

We were all just so happy. Even Fozz!

Sorry, sir.

Still, GOOD HUSTLE, TEAM!


It’s a unique way to get people to care about their own health, by having TV doctors they trust more than real ones tell them to go see a real doctor.

Interesting idea whose word of mouth & viralness should get it out to many people. Also, I think Hawkeye would’ve pulled Cam out of the game.

It’s precious shit like this that makes me not like this person:

You’re not a superhero. Get over yourself.

She went from cute to obnoxious in a very short amount of time.

Sill Bimmons

Wow. That was a serious ass whooping.

WCS

My dad’s cousin was on the ground during this entire thing. The old man enlisted, but, somehow, was never sent to The Nam. He calls it a miracle, and one of the reasons he goes to church, but, I think deep, down, he feels some guilt for never going. At the same time, it wasn’t his choice. He volunteered, just never ended up there.

Sill Bimmons

I only have one family war story, and it’s pretty short.

My Nana’s brother, my great uncle Evgeni, was on the USS Indianapolis. It was his first and only deployment. His Purple Heart paperwork said he died in the initial attack, so at least he was spared the Full Quint.

No war stories on my dad’s side.

I am giving up on my terrible sci fi show ever showing up online. off to spend 2 hours on the shitty pixelated versions

I lied. The first 3 minutes were unwatchable and I also found torrent links in the same time

Every word in that sentence makes me jealous of you.

I wish I could go to Rose City Comic Con this weekend but I decided too late and my brother would never go and I have work all weekend. I’ve reached the point where I am above this job and the govt can bite my ass for taking as much out of my minimum wage paycheck as it does.

Anyway, holy tits!

I will post this again. To get imgur/any other site that doesn’t work to show up. Download “Block Referrer”. Then manually add “http//i.imgur.com” and “https://i.imgur.com” or right click and get the address and use the button for the add on to turn off the sites ability to move you to a Forbidden 403 screen (on here the broken link pic box)

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

But all the program does is not allow sites to redirect you anywhere they want. Ehh, I tried

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

What if I wrote a new program that did the exact same thing but the button said “Fuck this site”?

Sill Bimmons

This is a great match.

Shame the FS2 feed looks like a UHF broadcast on a 1979 Zenith System 3.

Could not agree more

Beastmode Ate My Baby

To a certain extent, it’s “too soon.” Let his story play out and in 20 years or so decide if his actions were of merit or not.

Or just ignore me and make another box office snore.

Sill Bimmons

I think a world in which there is STILL no film version of The Cleveland Torso Murders could have waited on the Snowden story.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

There’s a graphic novel about it, which was good. The writer of that GN wrote another GN, on trying to get the story made in Hollywood, and that one is great. Scary as hell, but great.

laserguru

WOOOO! Swans.

I actually have a point of reference. Back in the nascient stages of ESPN this was one of their flagship sports.

Go Dockers?

“WHAT THE PISS DO YOU COCKWALLETS WANT?!”

GOOAALLL! GWS!

Sill Bimmons

boo

Sill Bimmons

GWS Giants didn’t exist when I lived there.

litre_cola

Me neither, either did the Gold Coast. I lived in St. Kilda and thus am a Saints fan. I also lived in Port Douglas and never became a fan of constant sweating.

Sill Bimmons

I met Teri Hatcher in Port Douglas.

She and her daughter got gelato at the same stand as my ex-wife and I. We had the only two seats left in the shade at our table so she asked if they could sit with us. We just sat there gobsmacked, this was in 2009–dead in the middle of the Desperate Housewives craze. Of course we invited them to sit, she asked why we were there, we asked why they were there, we all talked about her daughter going back to school after Christmas break, then they finished up and said goodbye. Ten minutes, tops. Still real, still spectacular.

litre_cola

When I bartended there I would bring 3 shirts with me as you would sweat through them, and even playing sports I never really was “sweaty guy”. Monsoon season was the worst. OZ of weed was also 400 bucks so that sucked too. Great Barrier Reef though!

litre_cola

14 hour day doing both jobs. Now time for some dick jokes, wine and some Aussie Rules. Anyone watching the Swans v Giants?

Sill Bimmons

I hate FOX.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Tell me you read HRTN today and thought it was funny, and not “Oh, yer gonna get yours, Beastmode.”

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I read 3 chapters. Still way behind. I got distracted trying to deconstruct the website from the outside. I can let you see imgur gifs now…

Beastmode Ate My Baby

You have done DFO a service worthy of awards & commendations. Seriously.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Oh shit. It is client side so you have to do it. Block referer! Add it to your browser

I love Hard Ride to Nowhere!

Please tell me Future Moose isn’t dead.

I promise not to tell anyone!

litre_cola

Shitty, we get the Aussie feed up here. Channel 9 or 10 I cant remember, whatever it was when I lived down there years ago.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Watching Raising Arizona mit die Frau. William Forsythe is in it! And Frances McDormand!

And this guy, although I’m not sure he was in much else.

Brother DJ Taj’s last suggestion for running through a goddamn brick wall.

I love my brother.

Sill Bimmons

I’m watching a true crime show, and the victim’s name is Kiplyn.

Hearing it repeated over and over again just drives home the fact that this is not something you should name your child.

I would stab her just on basic principles.

Brother DJ Taj was late to the request line so I’m gonna post for him here.

Stupid fucking work.

I’m getting nauseous just thinking about tomorrow’s game.

No way I’m actually going to be able to watch it.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I know I should know your college football team, but I am really just drawing a blank. Who is it and feel free to rant about the matchup?

Sill Bimmons

Pitt vs. Penn State

WCS

Whomever wins, we all lose.

(Seriously, though, this might the one and only instance where I’ll root for Pitt. Penn State, and JoePa Truthers [chief among them, Franco Harris] are a blight on humanity, akin to Holocaust deniers and Sean Hannity).

Sill Bimmons

Face it, Penn State is just worse.

Way, way, WAY worse.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I will watch and root for Pitt if it is available.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Just for the record I assumed that. But wasn’t 100% sure you didn’t root for another school within 200 miles

Sill Bimmons

Even if you’re just rooting against Penn State I’ll consider it a win.

Since BFC made the joke about me giving up part of my stash as part of my apology I keep wishing I had a stash. Soundtrack for now reflects that.

She’s awake. One quick scotch and then off to bed.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ram it home once for me.
Oh wait…I already did that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Random stupidity:
I just gave my cat the finger because she was staring at me weirdly. She looks pissed now, but then again she’s just a stupid cat with no opposable thumbs so I’m not gonna sweat it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Also, part of why she’s probably pissed is that she’s decided she likes sleep either under the new floor tom, or on (yes…literally ON) the bass pedal. So of course being the dick I am, I’ve gone out of my way to sneak in and scare the shit out of her.

That cat scratches up my new drum heads, she’s gonna become a Vietnamese dinner faster than you can say….some random phrase in Vietnamese.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

“Fucking drummers, man.”

Trevor Semen

Who doesn’t do that to their pets? I think of my dog as a weird brother-friend-kid hybrid. I tell him to go fuck himself all the time then I feel bad and hug the shit out of him like 15 seconds later.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If the ladyfriend is asleep when I get back to the apartment, I can just go out to a bar without saying anything, right?

entropy

Leave a sticky note on the fridge, then conveniently knock it off there so you can “find” it later. Always worked for me.

Then an ex got me a whiteboard for the kitchen….

Trevor Semen

Send a text when you’re halfway there saying something along the lines of “I didn’t want to wake you up, but I wanted to get drunk”

theeWeeBabySeamus

If she didn’t wait up for you, I believe you are required to go out and at least flirt with the barmaid at your chosen destination.
