Your “WOO-HOO! CANADIAN SPRING BREAK!” Saturday Night Open Thread

Ten days off! Let’s get this party started!!

I’m also 48 years-old. This feels aboot the right speed.


St. Patrick’s Day:

Being only 6 days out, I’m getting alcohol reminders in my email, letting me know what I should get to be the most excellent of hosts come the 17th.

While I’m not one for commemorative or celebrity bottles, this caught my attention.

Dubbed the official Irish whiskey of the legendary band, The Pogues is made in Skibbereen, west Cork. This blended whiskey is sweet and intense with notes of malt and cracked nuts.

Well, that town sure sounds like a Shane McGowan pronunciation. I looked at the reviews. While most were positive, this particular one stood out from the rest:

I am a big fan of Irish whiskey and a bigger fan of The Pogues. This stuff is almost undrinkable. What a disappointment.

So, you hate all their new stuff, then? Typical fan – “PLAY DIRTY OLD TOWN!”

Twenty minutes after my wife leaves for the gym, and ten minutes into the Liverpool match, my bored kid wanders inside and asks me to take him to the park. I decided to do the right thing: get the boy some exercise and get some goddamn sunlight on my face. Sure! Let’s go! Bit chilly, but what the hell.
There’s literally no one else here. Not one fucking kiddo. I also am cold. There’s a lesson here…

Put on an appropriate jacket and take a football.

I’m not quite that sober, but otherwise, yes.

Blood sells.

I really liked “Logan”. Why hasn’t the Marvel shit been bloody since the start?

SonOfSpam

They mistakenly went for “family” when they shoulda gone for “older nerds”

laserguru

Duly noted.

There were no kids in attendance.

herodotus450

Gotta keep it PG-13, all our focus g roups say so.

Wakezilla

TL/DR: More cash in kid friendly movies.

Plus, I feel like Fox owed the fans after X-Men Apocalypse, which was the worst movie of 2016.

Senor Weaselo

Just turned on Monald Muck-Bear Down for Midterms. How many times has Walton said “Conference of Champions”?

SonOfSpam

Ice Rams beat the Ice Redacteds 4-2. Sorry about the premature whining.

SonOfSpam

That wasn’t supposed to be a reply to you, sorry.

Also, I like Walton only because he infuriates so many.

It’s amazing to watch Crosby play in 2017. He has the most ice touchdowns in the league, 2nd in scoring, just 3 behind, while playing fewer games and should probably be considered for a Selke this year.

SonOfSpam

I only care about the Lady Byng.

She could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch, I tell you what.

WCS

Keep talking like that, and he’ll blow out both knees, while simultaneously both kidneys explode.

Gratliff

Your lips to god’s ears

herodotus450

I fucking hate Crysby as much as the next sane person… but yeah, he’s easily the best player in the league. If not for the concussions, I think he’d be in Mario territory before his career is out

Wakezilla

I don’t know where he’d be career wise, but, I think he’d be running away with this year’s scoring title had he not decided to become one of the best two way forwards in the game.

SonOfSpam

Halftime update (Big West tourney final)

Bad news:
1) Worst half of basketball I’ve ever seen UCI play, including when I played intramural league there 25+ years ago
2) UCI has 16 fucking points at halftime. They might have 16 fucking turnovers too.

Good news:
1) UC Davis is almost as bad and only has an 8 point lead.
2) My wife made French Dip sandwiches and I’m full of food and beer and feeling very lucky in general.

Senor Weaselo

So… winner gets a 10 seed?

SonOfSpam

According to Lunardi (I hate him so much), winner gets a 15 seed playing Oregon. So, yeah.

WCS

WVU was trailing by the exact same score to Kansas State last night, and ended up winning.

SonOfSpam

Thank you for that! I am now hopeful. Ish.

Croooow

Didn’t one of them just survive a game that took four overtimes to get though?

SonOfSpam

UC Davis played one OT last night; there was a 4 OT game yesterday, but I forget who it was.

Croooow

Just looked it up. I got it wrong. It was Utah Valley and CSU-Bakersfield of the WAC.

SonOfSpam

Oh yeah…kind of the same thing. Except, eww, Bakersfield.

Croooow

Good news! CSU-Bakersfield just lost to New Mexico State.

JustStopDude

I have a fucking coworker that is bitching about the shit he does for leisure all the fucking time. Its annoying a fuck.
