Your “It Was The Sodom and Gomorrah Show” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Well, Bruce Arians got his “bullshit response” from the League. Bobby Wagner’s leaps were legal because the contact was considered “incidental”.
    • According to NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino, had he made direct contact with the player – a hit, or landing on him – then it would have been fifteen-and-a-first. Because it was Wagner’s shoe and the center’s lower back (first time) and the player grabbed Wagner on his way over (second time), it didn’t constitute a penalty.
      • Just another one for the “Seattle gets away with murder!” pile.
    • Arians’ response? “I’ve already talked to the league, and it’s illegal to comment on officiating,” Arians told reporters. Methinks someone was threatened with a fine.
  • LeSean McCoy was kept out of practice Wednesday as he continues to work through the hamstring he aggravated on Sunday.
    • Good thing for the Bills that the Seahawks cut C.J. Spiller this afternoon.
  • Jim Harbaugh is now the highest-paid college coach, earning about $9 million. In response, Jed York went down to the Union Pacific railyard and yelled at hobos for an hour.
    • The joke was on him, though, as Jim Tomsula was already on the 7:00 Amtrak “Trails & Rails” Zephyr to Chicago, hiding in the luggage car.
  • I guess taking fewer shots does improve your aim, because Russell Wilson & Ciara announced they are expecting their first child.

Finally, the best long-form story of the day goes to the Seattle Times and their collection of teammates’ stories about Marshawn Lynch. It covers a wide range of encounters, from Thomas Rawls’ rookie season to Lynch covering all expenses for Ricardo Lockette’s family’s vigil in Dallas after his career-ending hit.


So I went and got my 80s on Monday night.

And it was a wonderful two hours.

The evening started with dinner & drinks. The friends I was going with wanted to meet at a bar across the street. Given that the “Library Square Public House” is a sports bar and they are all Jack from “Will & Grace”, I anticipated quite the dichotomy. Well, I guess there had been a meeting earlier in the day, because the football fans kept to one side and the PSB fans stayed to the other; the culture clash I expected wasn’t coming from them.

The age difference became the issue as the server, a lovely 21 year-old named “Dallas”, asked about the concert, and had no idea who the Pet Shop Boys were despite the many attempts by my friends to explain. Finally, I settled on this explanation:

Rob: “Dallas?”

Dallas: “Yes?”

Rob: “You know those guys in high school who were way into drama or fashion design? It’s the music they’d listen to if they were our age (motioning to my group of friends).”

6 Gays: “GASP!!!

Dallas: “Oh, okay. I get it now. I’ll be right back with your drinks.”

Joseph: “Rob! That was….”

Rob: “Accurate?”

Vince: “Yes. But ‘fuck you’ anyways.”

**All laugh**

Given the band and the expected audience, entry was a breeze – not even a pat-down. Once inside, overlooking the makeup of the crowd, I felt dreadfully overweight and out of shape. Fortunately, and for once, none of those guys were sitting in front of me.

Because there was no opening act, the show started right at 9:00.

The concert itself was two hours of non-stop music; the pause between the ‘end’ and the encore was only three minutes. It was a solid mix of old and new, with a couple of deep tracks thrown in for good measure. People only sat down when their legs got tired; since most of the crowd doesn’t skip leg day at the gym ever, the majority stayed upright & dancing.

There were fewer artistic flourishes than previous shows – on the “Pandemonium” tour, they had dancers dressed like Tetris blocks; for the “Electric” tour, the dancers were dressed like bulls – but the lights & lasers were all there as usual.

Please enjoy this version of “Go West”, recorded while people kept insisting on talking to me. I still preferred it to watching Brock Ostweiler make John Elway look smart.

Here’s a review, if you are so inclined. If you like their music, I highly recommend this show.

My favorite hoodie has gotten so bad it looks like a horror movie character slashed me across the chest but just missed. I should retire the hoodie.

I expect a 60 question form on some computer tomorrow to vote

Does Donald Trump have a tiny penis? – Yes

Are you sure – Yes

Domino with 6 marks x variable = 24 – 4

Why would he claim he doesn’t – Because he does

Why would someone claim so much success without merit if he had a small dick – He has a small dick

If Mexico wasn’t sending us only rapists. What is the atomic mass of Beryllium? – 9.01

Are you sure Donald Trump has a tiny penis? – Yes

Ok, you can vote now

My plan for tomorrow is to go out and vote early so it is done, I am just not 100% they will allow me to vote early because of random reasons. I am registered and will grab a piece of mail but I am worried that isn’t enough, the Republicans “FUCK YOU! DON’T VOTE!” crusade has done very well to make the system cloudy.

Porky Prime

I hear that if you have an outstanding warrant, they will be waiting to arrest you and deport you to Mexico, even if you aren’t Mexican!

Brocky

I want to troll people so bad on election day. I got a comical patriot top hat, wanna wear a stupid as screen printed flag shirt. tell every trump supporter I see that it’s my third time voting today…

it sounds funny in my head

Porky Prime

Hey yall. First Lakers game since Kobe retired. Five rings, all-time Lakers leader in scoring, blah blah blah. So glad he’s gone. So ready to like my favorite team again, even if they suck for a while longer.

ballsofsteelandfury

A million times this. I hated the Kobe years with a passion.

Porky Prime

And what appears to be a win, no less!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am going out for another cig but need to go to bed soon. I have a “class” at 1030 I dropped out of weeks ago because the guy thinks “I taught you none of this, we grade of a curve of the best guesser since no one had a passing grade” is a way to teach all his classes. That sounds like a lie but it was what he told us. I still have to leave the house, my dad is really happy I am back in school so I can’t tell him I dropped it.

What’s the Spanish word for an asshole but literally means “pubic hair”?

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s funny that I never knew pendejo literally meant pubic hair until just now. I always used pelo púbico.

Ahora me vas a decir que un huevo…

Porky Prime

See, that’s how your Spanish teacher wanted you to say pubic hair.

ballsofsteelandfury

They should have gone with “culero”.

Victory shots!

Brother Taj and I have a new celebration whenever Chapman closes a game, even in non save situations.

“Hail Satan!”

Worst I ever saw was a Judge – in front of jury – telling my opponent (who was wearing a miniskirt) “This is NOT Ally McBeal!*” I did a discreet fistbump OBVS

Today a colleague called me a “motherfucker” in anger. That felt like a gold medal.

Genital Issimo

Nice job, mutherfucker

I think it’s time to rewatch some rick and morty and go to sleep. Peace, homies.

table
tr all the stuff for gravatar. all the stuff for date time stamp
end tr
tr everything else
end tr
end table

delete the 2 paragraph breaks between comments

Now we have a comment system that looks ok, still need to adjust the replies to be pushed over further

Mr. Ayo

Tables are dead! html5 4lyfe!

Mr. Ayo

So this is what I did.
Use Chrome, install My Style extension. Come to this page, then hit CTRL+M.
In the right window, paste this stuff in:
.comments-area ol.children {
margin-left: 3em;
}
.comment-list .comment-body {
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
border: 1px solid #666;
}

The first 3em controls the indent. Add/substract to taste.
The 0 closes up the spaces between comments. The #666 darkens the border around comments. Again, adjust to taste. Colors are #000 (black) to #FFF (white), or change 1px to 0px for no borders.

Mr. Ayo

Gaze upon this usability and dispair

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Of course I already use chrome. I love there is extension that lets you fuck with css files

Mr. Ayo

I’m now using these settings instead: (Between the lines)

————————
.comments-area ol.children, .comments-area ul.children {
margin-left: 3em;
margin-right: -6em;

.comment-list .comment-body {
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
border: 1px solid #666;
padding: 0.2em;
}

I can not tell what comments are comments, and what are replies. At all. Even when I am looking just for that. I check the timecode to figure it out.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Bar closed. Shit.

Genital Issimo

Its just protocol – the top of the urinal was pissed on. By law, they have to close up shop.

Bullshit, it’s not even midnight!

Shit. I just pissed on the top of the urinal. May be time to stop drinking.

Brick Meathook

THAT’S GOOD HUSTLE

Could be worse, you could have shit on top of the urinal…so I say: Keep drinking!

Shogun Marcus

Is it a urinal for ANTS?

Unsurprised

How tall are you?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It was an aim issue. Or lack thereof. I let go.
