Your “Whatcha Doin’ Tonight?” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Hey, it’s Saturday night!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBn2ux5vRHk

I’m out helping my friend with deliveries at his Greek restaurant. It’s 5 hours and usually about $100 cash & a free meal. I ain’t allergic to cash-money, and there’s always stories:

  • on Wednesday, I delivered to a they-said-legal-but-it’s-not-yet marijuana dispensary & grow-op. Based on them pleading with me that it was legal, they knew that I knew they were jumping the gun on Trudeau’s impending legalization.
    • I told them I’d been to enough concerts in the 80s, so as long as they paid me in cash and not bud there wasn’t a problem.
  • a couple of weeks back, I made a 10:30 delivery to a local motel.
    • Based on her tattoos, she was a one-night hire. I’d give her a 6; given his appearance, she probably figured dinner was extra money.
    • At least she put on a t-shirt to come to the door. It took him longer to find his clothes.
    • Fortunately, I got a cash tip.
I’ll leave the science to this guy.

So, tonight’s possible thread theme: Delivery jobs, or jobs that turned interesting at times. I look forward to catching up on the thread & seeing what direction the Commentists took when I get home.

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Buffalo at Toronto – 7:00PM | CBC
    • Chicago at Edmonton – 10:00 | CBC / Sportsnet
  • NBA:
    • Warriors at Thunder – 8:30PM | ABC / Sportsnet1
  • NCAA:
    • Gonzaga at St. Mary’s – 8:15 | ESPN
    • Cal at Arizona – 10:00 | ESPN2
  • UFC 208: Hom vs De Randamle – Prelims – 8:00 | FS1

I hope you find something that interests you. I’M DRIVING FOOD TO DRUNKS!

I’m at a bar in a bathroom line long enough to be at Lillith Fair.

That’s an awfully specific location for a bar

Speaking of polictics, remember when obama got reelected with 51% of the vote and republicans were trying to downplay it and say he didn’t have a “mandate to rule”?

Yes, it’s fake. Weird when the fake stuff just passes as “Well, just add it to the list of the other stuff [that is real]. No surprising at all.”

The Simpsons needs to do an episode titled “Donald’s Enemy”.

Remember when Republicans gerrymandered the congressional districts so bad there is almost no way for Democrats to ever get get the majority in the House? I am saying this isn’t a new attribute of theirs

herodotus450

I agree, gerrymandering (or as I call it, Larrymandering) is the root problem, but how to solve it? Any redrawing of districts will inherently favor democrats. Is there any truly objective way to draw distrcits? I don’t think so.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I don’t have the link, but I remember a Daily Show segment where they interviewed a guy that created a district drawn in a circle around the black community so they got one rep instead of 2 and he was proud of it. Just stop shit like that to start.

My family doesn’t really appreciate my version of this song, “This is My Steak” which I sing and dance to while I grill at BBQs.

Goddammit. I’ll of course NEVER not fucking hear that again now when I hear this.
Thanks.

I am not a fan of this new like system or the fact the replies get posted backwards. Just assume an extra plus 1 from me if your comment is good. I am not gonna bother

theeWeeBabySeamus

Internet Dad is aware of the issues some folks are having. Have faith.

Brocky

that’s not whats bugging me. I log on , time is right, i refresh, now i’m responding to a post 3 hours earlier.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

The likes are tough. It’s an ajax scripting issue – we could use the old system but the comments eat them after they refresh. I’m working on that this weekend. The reversed comments is…vexing. I’ll figure it out, though. I like the speed and non-reloading of this system, so it’s staying. Just need to work out the bugs.

Brocky

10-4 interned dad.

how the client meeting go yesterday?

InternetDad

They rescheduled for Tuesday – it’s actually a good sign, if they weren’t leaning towards me they would have cancelled.
Thank you for asking, though. I love when my kids listen.

I’m watching the movie Contact and am at the part where the aliens rebroadcast Hitler’s opening of the 1936 Olympics and am remembering a time when people said “Nazis? No way that shit gets popular again!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Shit, at this point people are dumb enough they probably think the Holocaust is “fake news” that Hollywood invented so they could pitch movies like Saving Private Ryan.

...

You joke but…

theeWeeBabySeamus

What ICRM said.

...

I had forgotten there’s a Cubs joke in this movie.

Also, Rob Lowe as a scummy conservative.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Is there any other kind?

I kid, I kid. I *do* think there should now be a more well-defined distinction between “conservative” and “Republican”, though.

It was the 80s. There was a lot of crap music. First time I heard The Outfield (I should say we….my college roomate and I both) ….WE literally got in the car and drove straight to the record store.

You know, back when you had to get in the car and drive to the store for music. Like I said, I’m old.

It’s the first track off the 1985 album Play Deep, which is one of the first albums I ever bought. You’ve heard their hit “Your Love” a million times, but I liked the whole album a lot and still do.

Bloody Lethal

Will buy yes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ditto. Wore it out on cassette twice (I’m old) Thank god for CD’s and digital.

I break movies down to watch at home or see on the big screen. This is a Big Screen movie.

Bloody Lethal

Noted. Like John Wick 2: theater needed.

laserguru

There was a big ass crowd for that movie today too.
The Batman Lego movie is going to make tons of cash based on the turnout.

Gratliff

Lego Batman was enjoyable as shit. Working knowledge of the 60’s series and Michael Keaton movies helps tremendously. I’d almost bet it’s more enjoyable for adults than children.

Visual Basic? It’s so simplistic and dumbed down it should be called Visual Basic. …

So while out walking the dog this evening I saw someone blatantly ignore a stop sign at a crosswalk I was about to enter. He was on the other side of the road, so there wasn’t any danger, but am I still justified in figuring out where he lives and smashing his windshield with a hammer?

Based on her tattoos, she was a one-night hire. I’d give her a 6; given his appearance, she probably figured dinner was extra money…

When I called the number listed on that Backpage ad that offered “All night + Greek for $200” I was expecting something a little different.

Senor Weaselo

Never worked in delivery, but working in Admissions meant I got to dress up as the school mascot the first open house I worked and I got to drive the golf cart around to pick up mailing materials. I didn’t have my license yet so driving the golf cart was the closest I could get to being cool and edgy.

Other great part of LU is the hyper-produced backstage vignettes, often featuring wrestlers engaging in Slow-Motion Karate Fights.

I am at “probably gonna fall face first into bed at any time” drunk. It is ok, it was a day off, that was my plan. The other way I could go with this is just drink a bunch more and stay up 6-7 more hours. The giant plate of mozzarella sticks I just ate is making me lean towards the former.

We also had a someone there throw a knife at someone with intent to kill over something stupid that I can’t even remember even though I was there, he might have had anger issues

Hey Hippoz….’member our old joke about honkey line change?
In the NHL, EVERY line change is a honkey line change!!!!!!

HEY-OHH

When NCSU used to actually win games, and all the white walk ons got garbage time, that was honkey line change. It hasn’t happened in a while because we suck.

Interesting jobs? I have metric and standard fucktons of tales from my child welfare days. But working PDQ carwash through high school was much more memorable on a personal level.

ballsofsteelandfury

Do tell…

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I worked at a Quizno’s and we had to do deliveries. No real stories there but at the actual store our manager was a giant pill head that got everyone to snort whatever he had that day with him, the freezer was mostly used to smoke pot and eventually the boss stole a bunch of money, framed someone, the owner completely believed him. Owner still sided with the boss when he ended up in rehab with his pill popping buddies a few months later

theeWeeBabySeamus

We used to smoke weed in the freezer when I delivered pizzas as a youngster.
That’s not as good a story as yours, tho.
Now I’m sad.

...

Odd Quizno’s story. When I lived in Missouri, I was withing walking distances of one. A friend of mine would go there often and remarked (after I had left town) that some of the lights on the sign were out. Turns out, that was deliberate. All of the receipts read something like “Zion subs” and the owner, stick of working with the corporate office, just decided to rebrand but keep selling Quizno’s recipes thinking it was totally legal.

It wasn’t and that place closed not long after that.

After watching the first episode of Legion I have come to the following conclusions

1) Its was a damn good first episode
2 ) I’d bang Katie Aselton
3) I’d bang that blond chick too
4) I probably should have toked up before watching it
5) I definitely will took up before watching it on Wednesday
6) The Yellow Eyed Demon = Probably the Yellow King from True Detective.
7) Yeah that doesnt make sense.
8) I am slightly disappointed by the lack of F bombs in the show, I thought since FX went full HBO with Taboo that maybe someone would say fuck a few times.
9) I’m waiting for Patrick Stewart to show up.
10) Maybe he will say “fuck”.

Yeah, if you’re going to drop $700 on a little motorized dog-fear machine without testing to see how your dog will react to it, you can’t just blame the dog for it being dismembered.

...

I saw someone twitter that said you can be pro-environment, pro-LGBT rights, pro-women’s rights, and pro-diversity and also support Donald Trump.

No extra commentary. I can’t come up with something witty enough while my synapses are silently turning and staring at each other wondering what the fuck to do.

herodotus450

Are you sure that wasn’t a Dennis Kucinich tweet, and that he’s so drunk he forgot the words “the impeachment of” somewhere in ther?

...

No it’s some small time podcaster who serves up the usual anti-liberal shit memes.

HOT TAKE INCOMING: Conservative gay white men are the most insufferable conservatives because they pretend their existence is some great rebuttal and their whiteness and maleness don’t count for shit.

You could also have a dude suck your dick and say you’re not gay…
