EPL Only Saturday – Embracing the Void

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.

I swear Gary Danielson gets $500 for every “football is war” pun he can shoehorn into what he laughably calls his “commentary.”

After the second (?) divorce Richard Burton said something along the lines of, “she’s not a classical beauty-she’s a bit top-heavy”.

Jesus these navy uniforms are hideous. Did they get the people from TNF “SMASH AWESOME TO THE MAXX INTENSITY” uniform designers to do the unis?

Euphemism.

That house was probably demolished so some yuppie scum could build a McMansion that is now only used for third-tier Coachella parties.

Fuck everything.

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.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Sven-Goran and Fabio may be inept, but they take great umbrage to the allegation that they are English

Fuck I go to the bathroom and LC is up 1-0.

Its amazing to me how much LC has struggled losing Kante.

JustStopDude

ANd its now 2-0 over Manchester City…Not even 5 minutes in….

They should try to make the log on experience more fun if you have to jump through hoops.

On the other end of that stick; one has the desire to hurt some people necessarily.

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…

Unsurprised

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!

Unsurprised

Time to go outside.

Doktor Zymm

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.

Unsurprised

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.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

This is tempting me to bake now, but I got shit to do, but those episodes of Mr. Robot also need some watchin’.

Shogun Marcus

You should close the goddamn door no?

Unsurprised

Let it burn.

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.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

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.

Every fucking year, around this time, people at work will walk up to be and be like “So Go Navy right?!?”

I was enlisted okay. Every single officer from the Academy, with the exception of one, that I ever interacted with, was a dangerous moron. I have a higher opinion of University of Phoenix graduates than the US Naval Academy.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

But is Army any better?

LemonJello

I can not “You Like That? HUH?” this enough.

This is when I miss Saturday NFL games. I hope they make a return when Thursday Night Football gets shitcanned in a couple years.

Shogun Marcus

You get your wish next week.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hippoz…..

What’re the chances I get you out into the public domain today for Reynold’s Heritage game? Or perhaps Thursday (I think it’s Thursday) for AppSt at PNC? Or hell, just tracking ‘Dog down and hanging at Upper Deck (or any reasonable substitute) for a ozen hours or so.

Holla!!

scotchnaut

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 love that last one

Unsurprised

Sooner than fifty years

Horatio Cornblower

Navy is going to thump Army again and it’s not going to be close, despite all this blathering from ESPN from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

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.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

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.
