As a reminder, here are The Dead Milkmen…
On the pitch, we get things started by ruining my weekend straight away, and right early too, with Watford hosting Everton at 7:30 EST (NBCSN). The 11th position Hornets would actually vault over the 8th position Toffees with their inevitable win, as only 2 points separate the sides in the table. Everton will be without their most consistently effective (and certainly most energetic) attacking player, Yannick Bolasie. Mourinho’s shithouses never got a red card last weekend, but they did fuck Yala’s knee to bits, and he’s out at least a full year. At his age, he may never be the same again. Fucking cunts.
Arsenal/Stoke seems the best option in the 10:00 window, and indeed it gets the NBCSN treatment. Swans and Sunderland are on CNBC, in case you really enjoy human misery. And fucking admit it, you know you do. yeah right’s heroic Cherries look to avoid their Shite-slaying hangover against Burnley on Extra Time, in their first match ever in the top flight of English competition. WEIRD!
In another, happier time, defending champion Leicester hosting blue blood Man City (12:30, NBC) seemed like a really cool fixture to feature. Now, it’s just another mid-table side looking to take down a Champions League qualifier. There’s a story to tell, but no greatness any longer. Sigh.
You want greatness? Wake up early on Sunday (vs. West Brom, 7:00, NBCSN) to see the runaway title contenders, as in the wake of their win at the Etihad last weekend…even I am not doubting Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side any longer. They fucking good, y’all. Them poor little Albion ain’t even at home. Tweet?
Sunday’s good match is the Lucky Pierre of NBCSN’s troika, 6th position Man United vs. 5th position Spurs. I believe the gulf in quality is a great deal wider than one place in the standings would indicate, and that Tottenham will show as much, even at Old Trafford. Karma’s a bitch, Mourinho.
Soton and Middlesbrough play on Extra Time (9:15), and the Shite close things up on NBCSN against the Hammers (11:30). I gots nothing to say about either match. So sue me. Fuck you, 2016.
And no, I am not previewing the military industrial complex’s salute to jingoism. It is not worthy of the bravery of America’s servicemen and servicewomen, much like the American electorate. Try funding lifelong healthcare – including actually truly addressing mental health issues, instead of empty platitudes like your meaningless “thank yous.” And maybe fewer senseless wars, fought with no actual planning? Just a few thoughts.
Its really going to suck when Vern Lunquist retires.
I don’t feel that way about Brent Mussberger, though.
WHY CAN’T WE HAVE BOTH?!?!?!

EPL HOT TEAK TIME!!!
Any other professional league, a team like LC, after such a historic run, would have easily given up Vardy to keep Kante. But since its the EPL, the idea of giving up an English striker over a much more important and talented defensive player, was impossible.
Because you can’t give up a white Brit for an African…no matter how fucking logical it is. Same way the British National Team has to have an inept English manager.
Did they really ever have the chance to keep Kante? I know Arsenal was sniffing around Vardy’s butt, though Kante was always the guy thought to have the highest value and would be the hardest to keep. And they basically went to the mats to keep Mahrez from skipping town as well, which would have made them relegation fodder.
Sven-Goran and Fabio may be inept, but they take great umbrage to the allegation that they are English

Chelsea just crushed city’s balls to dust last weekend, it seems. And as bad as Everton’s season has been, at least we rinsed the Blue Mancs for John Stones. What a fucking bust that kid is. Dumb as a box of hammers, that is the problem.

Not to be a bigger bummer than usual…but I’mma do just that. Read the whole thing:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/no-words–5
But here is the kill shot towards the end, written by a husband and a father:
This doesn’t just mean that “millions will lose their health insurance.”
it means someone’s mother coughing blood. Or a father groaning in pain and yelling behind a closed door. It means parents or other family members arguing because after one of them missed a promotion at work — because of all the time spent taking care of a loved one. It means slammed doors. It means missed dinners. Most of all, it means a child somewhere, in some inconsequential town, crying, heaving sobs into his pillow, because his parent is going to die. Another child sitting in stunned silence in class, not listening to a word the teacher says.
I want TPM’s readers to visualize this as concretely as possible whenever they consider millions losing their health insurance. Of course I would like members of the GOP leadership and the Trump transition team to visualize this too. Repealing a health insurance program that has been working for millions of people is worse than proposing something ineffective. It demonstrates outright a willingness to be cruel. To hurt people unnecessarily. There is no other word for it. It is heartless.
On the other end of that stick; one has the desire to hurt some people necessarily.

THIS all day. If it weren’t for the martyr effect on the throngs of the stupids…
These evil fucks deserve to go slow, too. Like the people they are condemning to die by legislative fiat. And of course, with no mercy killing or overprescription of pain meds because that’s all Jesus ever talked about, amirite??
well, that and how cool pickup trucks and mudflaps with naked lady silhouettes are.
This has been an utterly wacky morning.
I never really sleep in. I can’t sleep for longer than like 4 hours at a time due to my severe back problems. So I am up at 9am. A lady friend that stayed the night finally gets out of my bedroom.
“You are up early”
“Yeah, I’m a morning person”
“What’s that smell?”
“I’m making chicken soup”
“YOU COOK?!? It smells great…wait…does this have meat in it?”
Its at this point that I really…REALLY need to stop handcuffing my brain at night night and letting my dick take over.
So the young lady goes into my bathroom…and does not come out for like 45 minutes. Like what the fuck? Finally she gets out of there. I take her downstairs and she takes her leave.
The bathroom is a wreck…like multiple soaking wet towels on the floor, shit loads of water on the floor (like what…did she kept the curtain open while showering?), everything on my counter is all moved around…
So I clean up the bathroom and then decide to shave and son of a fucking bitch…she shaved her legs with my razor. A brand new razor, used once before, and it felt like I was taking a broken bottle to my face.
I got to get my fucking shit together. I’m in my mid 30’s. I can’t keep doing this crap…
Not all of it. You ought to leave enough shit lying around to keep the ladies coming.
October was a long time ago, but it still seems like a good idea.

Today is TBOX (aka the Twelve Bars of Christmas), so if you want drunk Santas DO WE HAVE SOME DRUNK SANTAS FOR YOU!
Time to go outside.
So, I have new neighbors downstairs, college kids. Technically her older brother owns the place, but he’s looking for a job in Chicago before he moves back, while she’s in school here, so he’s letting her live there. Very nice girl, and I haven’t met her roomate, but oh, so very college kidish. Anyway, judging by the smell in the hallway coming home from the gym, it seems they’re fans of the wake and bake. Curious if there will be reaction from the HOA.
I have a neighbor who does that at 6am. It’s the times I can smell that shit in my own apartment that I most want to murder them and everyone else who smokes pot just because I am an asshole.
This is tempting me to bake now, but I got shit to do, but those episodes of Mr. Robot also need some watchin’.

Because I’m filled with self-loathing and lack of sense, part of today’s schedule includes taking the dogs to petsmart to sit with Santa. The pug will flip out. The boston will try to eat the other animals but will love Santa. I see nothing but magic coming from this.
Ain’t nuttin’ wrong wit dat.
Every time I go buy dog food I take my dog to Pets-N-Stuff and we walk the isles. It is great smell sensory overload and it is a “teaching moment” for being around other dogs. Plus a damn car ride with the nose out the window.
It would be cool if one could do that with cats, but there would be WAY too much blood and urine. You would have to pay the teenagers working there at least a few bucks over minimum wage, and that throws the whole thing off.

THIS week? Not…very…good. Next weekend? Maybe. Bar more likely than coliseum. Being enclosed with humanity seems like bad trigger for me right now.
In tribute to the Army/Navy game, I hereby designate Saturday, December 10th as “EMPTY PLATITUDE DAY”! Should you run into anyone today, hit them with a “Despite evidence to the contrary, everything’s gonna be fine,” or a “It is what it is” or “So what? At the end of the day we’ll all be dead in fifty years anyway”.

I caught the Real Madrid 2 – 2 Borussia Dortmund CL match this week. What a game! I’m DVRing the German Yellows from now on. Dortmund plays FC Koln (no idea) on Fox Deportes in a while. I’ll be working, and I got other mind-occupying stuff lined up to fill the time until Donks @ Tits. Waiting for that one has been tough.
I’ll bet you an internet sixpack on that game. Not really that confident, especially if our boy Trev is not starting, just bragging rights.
