Your “One More Week of Winter Vacation” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • Future LA Rams coach Rex Ryan was fired by the Bills.
    • Incoming coach Anthony Lynn said Tyrod Taylor will sit & EJ Manuel will start Week 17.
      • Not sure if it’s an audition or trade baiting.
  • The Steelers are not happy with Terry Bradshaw over his calling Mike Tomlin a “cheerleader”, not a coach.
    • Expect a response from Bradshaw about “medication something something respect”.
    • Tomlin took his own shot via a “Hollywood Henderson” reference.
  • The Lions have asked the worst call from the Monday Night game be reviewed.
    • While it didn’t really affect the final outcome, the crew’s marks might affect refereeing playoff assignments, so it’s nice to see a hint of Bill Belichick in Jim Caldwell.

For those of you unaware, the week between Christmas & New Year’s is Canadian heaven, because it’s World Junior’s season. For the uninitiated, imagine a tournament with each country’s Conor McDavid & Jack Eichel with two games a day over 7 days, just to determine a playoff round. It’s glorious, but the country spends 4 days mourning if we don’t win.


Dammit.

Who’d have thought Aykroyd would be last?

I guess that leaves a Star Wars IX plot hole.

I am confused about what is going on all over this.

Unsurprised

Cinnamon-roll chili bowl from Nebraska

litre_cola

None of those flavours make any sense

Unsurprised

Which is because it’s disgusting and fuck the midwest for this unholy abomination

litre_cola

Hello internetters, how are we?

WCS

Trying to make my liver cry blood. You?

litre_cola

Just came back from a wine night where 3 people vomited and 2 women were so drunk they cried. So not too bad, good wines and entertainment.

Sharkbait

That sounds like a fun wine night

litre_cola

Yeah, still have connections in the industry so get invited to dinners, Mrs Cola is prego so I bring a buddy, we taste, get drunk and watch lightweights get crazy drunk.

That’s ungood footballing, Wazzu.

Serious. Let’s you know how weak this draft class is at QB, this Falk mofo was #4 before announcing he’d go back to school.

well, I need Wazzu to work a miracle or my bowl confidence pool be ded

I have been trying to quit smoking for a couple years now. Gov. Walker somehow closed every store that lets you buy a one hitter. I want it so I can buy one and some tobacco and only take one drag when the urge comes

Good evening fine football folk.

Saw Rogue One today, which has led me to watching A New Hope, and downloading Empire and Jedi.

Holy shit. That is unbelievable.

Just for the record I got really drunk early today

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have the heat completely off, my window open and it it still 83 degrees in my room. I know because my room fan has a temp gauge. I would just jump in the snow with no shirt if it wasn’t asphalt level ice

-Do you like papaya?
-No.
The End

ballsofsteelandfury

I absolutely LOVE/ADORE papaya, but too much of it gives me the papaya poopies. It’s a VERY fine line I have to walk…

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Walking that line with your butt cheeks clenched.

rockingdog

next time ask for Mango. Mango puts papaya in a bodybag then digs a hole out in the backyard and buries papaya.

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh, I love mango more than I love papaya. Plus, no poopies. I eat the shit out of mango. It’s just the lure of papaya.. plus, I like living dangerously.

Don T

I love mangoes. Papaya, negative.
-Have some.
-¡Smells like vomit!
Every god damn time.

hey….hey! come on…..Come on guys pass it to me….

Well, my holiday travel just concluded with our uber getting rear ended while stopped at a red light. I wasn’t planning on drinking tonight, but…

ballsofsteelandfury

Not planning on drinking tonight? Let me see your DFO membership card!

King Hippo

yeah, that’s only really ok when drugs are on the table

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You’ll pry my DFO membership out of my hands when I get my $12!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I forget the details of your shitty weekend because I may have been drunk for most of it. I blame me, my brother and his insane amount of shots I had to take, my dad for buying 6 bottles of wine for just during dinner, my mom for doing the same the next day after breakfast mamosas… then screwdrivers. I remember wishing your weekend had gone better at least 3 times though. Also, balls is right, drink

BrettFavresColonoscopy

My weekend was fine-ish, but I confirmed my theory that the best family time is no family time.

May your hangover not kill you or others.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I just had to put my dog back in his kitchen prison after a weekend of getting to roam free at 2 houses and sleeping in my bed when I was on the computer. I feel really bad and also found out he is older than I thought this weekend and that makes it worse (he is apparently a 16 year old Golden, not 12, and Goldens don’t live this long). I am gonna sneak him up after my dad goes to sleep every night in the near future, if I get caught I am just gonna claim he had a seizure and I was taking care of him after.

JSD: How’s your back?

JustStopDude

Alright.

Unsurprised

Do you think all that work helped or hurt or just didn’t affect it much?

JustStopDude

My back is always fucked up. I try to do a lot of work on maintaining my core and low impact physical activity.

I used to run all the fucking time and lift weights in the military. Pretty much now its a lot slower.

Unsurprised

That’s cool. Better something than nothing.

I can’t overstate how awesome it is what you did for your family. I’m awed

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I finally got around to starting Peaky Blinders today. It was mentioned on UPFORWHATEVERROXX by Danger the first time I heard of it, but some people on here talked it up too. It is pretty great one season + half an ep in.

Unsurprised

I just noticed that Tim Robbins is taller than The Kurgan.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

My brother left for his flight out of O’Hare 4 hours ago (so from here just got on/leaving now) but it was great seeing him this weekend. My favorite parts of his visits are when he accuses me of never talking to him on the phone. I admit I don’t call him as much as I should but he calls me blackout drunk/tripping on cold meds all the time. So he thinks he has these epic stories or important life things that have happened that I don’t know about, but when he starts the story I can tell it to him in more detail than he remembers.

Granted, both enterprises take a lot of heart. But this Juan Gabriel was a hub for feeling, not money laundering.

Re-watching this, AP kneeling on the sideline looks like someone took a switch to his genitals.

Unsurprised

I love CF’s response to the “grown man” who wondered how to explain* the metal bikini to his daughter: A giant slug made her wear it, she hated it, and so she killed him and took it off.

*These are the weakest, saddest people in the world.

Don T

That high moral ground trope suggests both lazyness AND cowardice. “Maybe you should only pay child support” is the best answer.

I’ve watched the complete 2nd season of GoT today. I plan to do the 3rd season tomorrow.

I will continue by regiment of not wearing pants or shaving.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Not shaving? Then you don’t have to worry about the your Naugahyde couch.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Are you my brother? He was living in El Paso for awhile. Stopped caring about the Bears when that happened and watched season 2 of GoT today. He also never wears pants or shaves in his downtime. He was here today but I did have to give him the password to our router last night

JustStopDude

So I am back home from this insane Xmas mess. I sister did one last passive aggressive stab at me.

Made a massive to do that she was going to leave first, going so far as having me move the cars in the alley around so her car was blocking me in. I kept telling her I was getting up by six to leave by six thirty to try and get out of the 6-95 area before rush hour got heavy.

She fucking would not get up until 9…so I got to hit the road at 9:10am…

I give her keys back (because of course…I had to move her car which included finding a parking space). “It was good to see you JSD”

“I swear to god…next year…you and I are sitting down like adults and fucking fixing this relationship because this grade school shit is getting on my last fucking nerve”

She turns to the kitchen

“DAD! JSD IS SWEARING AT ME AGAIN!”

Unsurprised

Jesus Christ

You outta fix her. Fix her REAL GOOD.
