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!”

I think you all underestimate how hateable notre dame is.
the fact that I don’t feel disgust at duke beating them is,,,,, I don’t know…………..

i don’t know where the fuck i was going with this. its saturday night. i’ve got tacos.

when you have crushingly low self esteem, it makes ya feel dirty.
After further consideration, she is the DEAF girl from Weeds, not blind. Probably better that way.
good think you cleared that up, cuz i had no idea where the fuck you were going with that one lol
Apparently when you search for “(anything) deaf girl” you get her and Marlee Matlin

You beat me to it, and I expected nothing less
What, exactly, is the point of putting a “Previously on…” segment on episodes of a series which you release all at the same time
For the very specific demographic of people who have no short-term memory, like Guy Pierce in Memento.
Gotta watch that again. Such a good/fucked up movie.
Just realized the show I’m watching originally aired on sci fi channel, whoopsies. Or, that would be SyFy. Must’ve changed the name to avoid lawsuits about their shows being scientific.
What show? Just out of curiosity. I only watch one show on that network now and I steal it every time because it airs in Canadia first
The Expanse. It’s like someone’s non-copyright-infringing fanfic of Firefly got passed to someone who is competent at making a tv show. Will I watch the entire season in one night? Probably. Will I remember any of it? Probably not.
Fucking Ice Rams already behind the Ice Redacteds seven minutes in. We’re gonna be the fucking nine seed this season.
Just need to get in…
Blues and Flames keep winning. Doesn’t look good.

Hey, at least the kid is woke.
Anyone else killing time waiting for the Big West final where their beloved Anteaters try for their 2nd NCAA berth ever? No?
/opens yet another celebration/disappointment beer
I got my fill of “watching your alma mater shit it’s dick in a big game” during the Big 12 final.
Ah, sorry Mountaineer. Did you set your couch on fire anyway?
Nah. Have to save that for the inevitable NCAA meltdown.
(I should note that I was trying to say “I’m sorry, Mountaineer” and not “You’re a sorry Mountaineer”)

So you were, shipping up to boston, to see them?

What is the religious affiliation for Yellow Spot?
The Porcelain God.
There’s a tought story behind this song. The drummer Andrew Ranken, who sings the lead vocals, lost his wife to complications during childbirth. They say he walked into the studio one night and went to town on the drums while singing this.

Guys, I have a confession. I thoroughly enjoy the movie Edge of Tomorrow.
Well a group of us who liked it are getting together tomorrow, and hey, since you liked it so much you should come along. We’ll all do a much of stress tests, and get rid of all those thetans. The first time is free, what’s there to lose?
/Not sure about any scientology details, will never look them up
Further confession, I like most Tom Cruise movies.
Well here’s my favorite conspiracy theory that will hopefully embiggen you to enjoy them more: the sea org has dirt on Cruise being gay, and are blackmailing him to be the scientology poster boy.
By “dirt” do you mean “eyes”?
War of the Worlds was great. One of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
What do you mean it wasn’t a comedy?
That’s because it’s a solidly entertaining movie.
Although I nearly had an epileptic seizure trying to follow the action in the final conflict, and I’m not actually epileptic.
Duke vs Notre Dame in the ACC final.
Duke vs Notre Dame.
How long until we switch to another timeline? The only decent thing that has happened in this one is that a character from Saved By The Bell made a website for us to all hang out.
Could be worse, could be Duke-U*NC in the NCAA final?
I think the only solution left is ritual mass suicide.
I’m not entirely against it.
I’m not buying new shoes!
FYI, I heartily endorse the concept of a beer festival with 50 or so breweries doing unlimited samples for a reasonable entry fee. Also, I think the couch is my home the rest of the day.
They would run out of beer in two hours.
I drank for 3 of the 4 hours that it was open to all you can drink. Damage done and only one or two stations ran out of beer.
Uh, you might want to be in Willimantic on 4/30. The beer fest as unlimited samples for $35. Goes for 4 hours. Food is extra. It is fantastic. Last year Stone and Ballast Point showed up.

I taught from 10:15-6 today, and it would’ve been without a lunch and until 7 if not for two cancels. I don’t even want to go to the deli and get a sixer because that would involve leaving the house again. What do?
PILLS!!
I knew you were going to say that too!
Whiskey should do the trick.
No pizza places deliver beer in NYC? So much for me ever moving there.
If I didn’t live at home, then Seamless/Grubhub the living shit outta it. But I do, so that would be bad form.
Fuck you, you’re drunk.
I wish.

I wish Gus Johnson was calling tournament games. Damn you CBS for letting him go.
Without intruding on Buddy’s turf, I hope I can say that Iowa State plays some damned sexy basketball. Sorry, Cousinfuckers. Don’t look like yinz’ night.
/I pill up with ya in solidarity, WCS
Monte Morris is really fun to watch. Really hope he becomes a star in the pros.
He seems like he actually plays basketball, so I’m guessing “the association” will want little to do with him.
/yeah I’m a middle-aged white guy, why do you ask??
I see the Donks signed a Dollar General DE and DT today, sure tell we is starin’ down ol’ double-J for his GODDAMNED STAR.
I sure hope we have a domino stack trade lined up with Siemian and ?? for a LT with somebody, because the stores appear to be fresh out of those.
