Your “How Disappointed Will I Be?” Sunday Evening Open Thread

Beerguyrob -

So, “The Walking Dead” returns tonight.

I haven’t given up, but I’m not exactly paying close attention anymore. The highs & lows of the last couple of seasons hasn’t given much hope that they will be righting the ship.

Still, if the concept that each season is about 20 comics in length, there should be some incidents that could turn the series around, raising it above “hate-watch”. They better have something good in the first episode, because it’ll set the tone for the rest of the season.

It’s a long weekend in BC, so I get to enjoy some beers while doing this.

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Habs at Bruins – 7:30PM | NBCSN / Sportsnet
  • NBA:
    • Pistons at Raptors – 6:00PM | TSN
    • Pelicans at Kings – 9:00PM | TSN
  • NCAA:
    • Virginia at Virginia Tech – 7:00PM | ESPNU
    • Wazzu at Colorado – 9:00PM | ESPNU

Tonight’s TV observations:

– Bruno Mars killed his Prince cover. The Time were The Time. Chance the Rapper was a surprise. The rest of the show was “meh”.

– Walking Dead was not bad. Not the fireworks factory (as referenced below), but they won’t get there until next season. These next 7 episodes are setting the table for Season 8.

– Ice Liouns beat the Ice Bills! Woo-hoo!

@moose, I just think of a great quote from max landis of all people:

“Don’t get me wrong, a lot of wrestling sucks, but when its good? its fucking great!

Fox News says the Grammys made fun of me all night. Don’t they know I’m President? I’m in the one who says what’s good or not! Sad!

Is there a Trump twitter bot yet? There should be.

I learned last month the power of a shirtless Jordan when he pulled that shit live while beating up various Ascensions and I could literally see the woman’s brain block me out of her reality.

Catching the end of the Grammys. I didn’t realize Bowie dying wasn’t this past year.

Jan 08, 1947 – Jan 10, 2016; he did some great stuff in 10 days.

*Humor aside: There were 10 periods in Bowie’s life where he did more than some artists do in a life time.

Owens and Bray. Big boys rule the WWE right now. Super fucking hyped for Bray’s title run, even if it is destined to only last 6 weeks.

I don’t care if wrestling is fake, this is the happiest i’ve been about a title win I’ve been in a long time (that wasn’t NXT Tag titles mind you)

I don’t really understand the attraction, but if you guys enjoy the shit out of it, good for you. Plus it makes for a great gifs.

As a professor at a public institution of higher learning, all I can say is we’re off just as good a start under DeVos as expected:

Look, Betsy. We don’t care that you are a big of Pink Floyd. But you cant use the first line from Another Brick in the Wall as a basis for education policy.

Just finished John Wick (the first one) which I watched based on the recommendation of someone on here before. It was really good. Thanks for the recommendation whoever you were

I had zero expectations and loved it.

I tried; didn’t last more than a few minutes. I just can’t stomach Keanu Reeves.

I haven’t watched TWD since the first season; do they have winter??

I miss that show.

My kid decided we would wait and watch the dumbass zombie show tomorry, so I gets to go to bed early. Yoga class kicked my old muthafuckin’ ass. Shut up.

Shogun Marcus

I took 2 semesters of yoga to kill elective credits.

2
King Hippo

You thought ahead. I wasted my 3 elective PE classes on Tennis 1 and 2, then softball (which was admittedly the most fun I had at NC State, and also where I finally learned a batting stroke that worked for me – aim for the pitcher’s head, line drive single to center/right-center every time). Yoga never crossed my mind, and I could kick myself. New wave ladyfolk have always been where it’s at (and it was all new wave-ish in yoga bback in the early 90s).

elective pe?

dang, I chose the wrong major

1
Sharkbait

Right? Not to mention I’m doing nothing close to what I majored in.

Brocky

I mean, I had electives, just can’t say i’ve ever heard of mandatory gym stuff.

my arts stuff was easy: comp. lit, and creative writing, which I practically did as a hobby anyways.

Senor Weaselo

I didn’t have it either, otherwise I would have gone for racquetball. It’s the only sport where blue balls are fun!

I had far too many elective credits to kill cuz I tested out of English and by some miracle math. And for foreign language I took sign language (bwahahahahaha!!!)

At first i questioned the inclusion of the Dolphins in the Predatory Mammal division, but then I remembered there is such a thing as Dolphin rape, so well done!

2
Brocky

my only real umbrage is “stupid Shit”

should be “other shit”

take the giants out, could just be “shit”

2
King Hippo

If only there were enough teams for a “kinda rapey” division.

2
Brocky

Dolphins…

Steelers….

Buccaneers…

Packers (Chmura/sharper)

we need one more…

1
King Hippo

Saints!! Of course!!!!

but then we gotta throw in the vikings…..

WHICH I AM PERFECTLY FINE WITH!

LOVE this. And I would like my side’s chances annually in that hoof division, too.

All right, hit a pretty major milestone in my Android coding, so I’m going to go celebrate with bratwurst and rose prosecco.

Yay?!

It was very tasty prosecco, so yay indeed.

Fuck winter, and fuck tennis.

Because I’m getting hit by a second blizzard in four days, I have to spend the night at work since I need be here at 5am for a tennis tournament we’re broadcasting. And I can’t even drink here.

I’m guessing banging interns is frowned upon?

I played el tenis with a stripper once. No, she wasn’t particularly good. And yes, it was primarily because the fake tits got in her way.

She was enthusiastic, though. So…yay?

It’s hard to understand the point of The Walking Dead at this point. Are they ever going to get to the zombie equivalent of the Fireworks Factory, and are they even bothering to travel in that direction anymore?

1
Senor Weaselo

Hell, can it be zombies at a fireworks factory? That sounds like that would be a lot of fun to watch!

I saw that movie on TV once and must’ve purged it out of my head.

Oh, I was referring to the book. The movie has as much to do with the book as The Running Man versions do with each other.
