Your “Selection Sunday” Evening Open Thread

It’s a little late for a hangover song, but damned if I’m playing U2.

So, it is Selection Sunday. Now, I typed this late-Friday night, because I plan to be drunk most of Sunday, and won’t have the vision nor temperament to get this completed. CBS is taking 90 FUCKING MINUTES to unveil it during the afternoon. I leave it to the Commentists to have at each other about how the brackets break down, and whether Gonzaga deserves their #1 and if they’ll be the first First seed to get bounced in the first round.

I will remind you, however, about the DFO Bracket Challenge. Use your knowledge or ignorance to achieve bragging rights over all who visit the site. Plus, maybe you’ll pique the interest of one of the Russian hackers constantly trying to hone in on our goodness.

Maybe she’s looking for you right now!

Why, you’d be a fool not to enter!

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Rangers at Red Wings – 7:00 | NBCSN
    • Habs at Oilers – 7:00 | Sportsnet
  • NBA: Cavaliers at Rockets – 9:00 | ESPN
  • MLS: LA at Portland – 7:00 | FS1
  • Rugby: Vancouver Sevens (Day 2) – 5:00 | TSN2
  • World Baseball Classic:
    • Canada vs USA – 7:00 | Sportsnet1
    • Mexico vs Venezuela – 10:00 | Sportsnet1 / MLB TV

There’s also a new “Walking Dead” tonight. Who knows where they’ll watch paint dry this week?!

HEY BRICK!

The postimg or post image links don’t teh work, man.

Brick Meathook

are they not displaying? I can see them

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Try a refresh; the link is broken in Mozilla and IE.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

All of his show up for me

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Chrome

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I don’t use Chrome anymore since it leaked like a sieve virus-wise.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I understand the fear when that happens, but it is just because it is what most people are using. Like people like to claim Linux is safer because it is harder to be hacked, people just don’t hack it as much because fewer people use it and in fact has code written into it that makes people not even have to hack it, just input commands

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

IE and Mozilla are just as vulnerable, but they both have quicker and better patches from my experience. I am not going through what I had to do to get rid of the viruses that I got from Chrome’s vulnerability again if I can help it. Also on a different line and computer Brick’s great images are showing up on IE…… not sure why.

I just broke my chair leaning back in it. I will be mourning its death the rest of the evening. I am also making a pizza at 12:30. I can multitask

Wait a minute… they didn’t have bras or electric lamps during Cleopatra’s reign!

Nor tin roofs.

THEY HAD ANCIENT PASTIES BECAUSE EGYPT WAS PG-13, PPL FORGET THAT.

I didn’t see the latest Jurassic park movie; is this a scene from it?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

The women fighting the dinosaur don’t seem to be wearing high heels so I don’t think so

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I gave myself a buzz cut yesterday because I was looking shaggy. I went with real short this time so I now look like a mix between Urlacher’s neo-nazi look and a chubby baby

Senor Weaselo

So if anyone asks who gave you that haircut, can you respond “It wasn’t me”?

Question for those in the know; does Alison Brie have a fairly large clitoris?

Senor Weaselo

Hell, I’m intrigued about who here would be in the know at this point.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I woke up 12 hours early. I think that means I need to drink to waste time until I am supposed to be awake

/I might have fucked up my sleep schedule through design and me liking the night more than mornings

Croooow

Syracuse got matched up with UNC Greensboro just a couple days after Boeheim dissed the town. Well played, NIT.

Senor Weaselo

…Go Greensboro!

King Hippo

Yeah…for reals. 2016’s primal scream was TOTES about class and trade, and not at all about fascism and the rankist kind of racism…

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/this-is-happening

Unsurprised

The left wing is fucking incompetent and killing itself and the rest of us by extension. Fuck it. Once I get a job I’m spitting on every lesser person I meet.

Fuck this phone.

Croooow

Fuck Steve King so fucking much. A complete and total embarrassment.

JustStopDude

I love the fact that Steve King keeps a fucking Confederate Flag on his desk at his office.

IOWA FOUGHT WITH THE UNION JACK ASS!!!

Senor Weaselo

So I have an opera dress in the middle of Snowmapocageddon. When I asked the conductor if we have a contingency plan he said “It should be done in the morning, we’ll be okay.” I wasn’t planning on “dying for my art” being on the way to the gig but them’s the breaks I guess.

Brick Meathook

I like this story because I don’t understand any of it.

Brocky

you sing or with the crew?

Senor Weaselo

I’m in the pit playing violin.

Brocky

cool. don’t get too worked up and snap your g-string

rimshot

Brocky

i remember driving in a blizzard for the dumbest shit ever: mandatory football weights during winter break. we had to run extra laps for every player not there.

good times

herodotus450

Being punished as a group for the actions of one person, now THAT’s how you build camaraderie. And nourish budding serial killers.
/According to the facists at SPELLCHECK, that is the correct spelling of “camaraderie.” But why is it not spelled like comrade? Why the extra ‘a’? What are they hiding? Are they unrelated etymologically?

JustStopDude

Well my motto out to sea was always “BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES!”

This usually kept the shits in line.

herodotus450

Probably not a contributing factor to the disproportionately high suicide rates of military personnel…
/Doesn’t know anything about the military or statistics.
//DOES know about beatings
///The sexy kind

herodotus450

And why/how did you have football practice during Winter break? (Assuming your definitions of winter and football are America.) Seems like there’d be some regulation about practicing during the offseason.

Brocky

it was offseason weight lifting,

oh, you’re not wrestling or playing basketball? come work out 6 hours a week.

the joys of a super competitive high school football program.

i didn’t mind cuz i really didn’t need a job, better than other extra circular crap.

Brocky

a blissful wrestlemania, who says wrestling is gay?

Unsurprised

Outside got cold

Watching a Sports event when you already know the outcome is like the Petit Mort

Croooow

Iowa got a #1 seed in the NIT. I’ll take it. Would be a cool if they went on a run there.

The Maestro

So we’re not recommending it to Fozz is what you’re insinuating here?

Unsurprised

Depends. Maybe familiarity breeds contempt. God knows Fozz is full of that.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I guess I don’t get it; I thought the first one was idiotic. On the other hand; glad you enjoyed it, sitting through a movie you dislike is a tad annoying. This one sells enough tickets so they will keep making them apparently.

OOK!

Unsurprised

Outside sucks. I’d rather be pantsless.

King Hippo

you can do both. I recommend singing “My milkshake brings the boys to the yard if’n you do” ppl love that

...

She seems nice.

ballsofsteelandfury

Too bad there is no there there.

Squats are a girl’s best friend.

litre_cola

I too enjoy large bottoms. Preferably on a redhead with glasses if we are being picky.

Brocky

I thought pancake butt was just an expression

Unsurprised

It’s not a flattering angle. Google Marisa Papen. I’m sure she has better photos.

King Hippo

I gots no complaints at all.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I do…get your effing ass back in poker right effing now.

The Maestro

I’m watching Oilers-Habs and also livestreaming a Norwegian league playoff hockey game that’s apparently into octuple overtime. The guys look like they’re ready to fall down.

Also: come play poker, you fucks.

theeWeeBabySeamus

What he said.

jjfozz

Oh, so you’re saying we’ll get about 16 inches of snow and my wife and kids will be in the house with me? Great!

JJ Fozz Pre Blizzard To Do List:

1. Inventory bourbon supplies. Ignore inventory. Buy at least 5 more bottles of bourbon.
2. Do not skimp on beer supplies. We’ll need plenty. At least 64 beers.
3. Secure home office against family members. Tripwires, pepper spray, etc.
4. Locate pain killers and all narcotics in house. Bury them under a rug or something.
5. Make sure smoker is accessible, I can always say I’m smoking a roast and just go outside and get even more hammered.
6. Fuck it, book ticket to Florida Keys.

King Hippo

NOTE to self: Hijack Stanley Steemer van, head to Fozz’ neighbourhood…

theeWeeBabySeamus

A masterfully crafted one liner as only the Hippo can supply.
Awwww…I can’t stay mad at you.

...

Looks like the Chicago’s snowless streak is about to end.

The Taft Bosom gene runs strong in this one

Still haven’t left the house.

I hope she has a tail rotor tassle somewhere or else she’s not gonna have any control once she takes off.

King Hippo

It’s all about ETHICS in Bernoulli’s Principle ,, ppl forget that

The Maestro

Can someone more in the loop about the ACC tell me whether it’s fair to say that Syracuse got fucked by the committee this year?

King Hippo

No, they suck. They got lucky to beat State. State.

/one of their TWO fucking road wins all season

...

Are people yelling over subjective bracketing decisions again?

Unsurprised

Oh, nah … Especially not on the Internet

Sharkbait

Let’s go 16-1 upset!

The Maestro

Anyone wanna play some hold ’em ce soir??

King Hippo

I think I managed not to pick anything cray-cray in this year’s DFO pool. This embarrasses me.

The Maestro

I say this as a total CBB noob but: Gonzaga should not be #1.

King Hippo

NAWT even a 2. #3 is generous. If you make Dayton a 7, and Scary Wheat a 10, why the fluffing of the Zags? Hilarious seeing all the CBS idiots picking them to the F4, too. Dunno how many volts we have to run through that cheese before those moe-rons quit a-nibblin’

King Hippo

Huzzah, Southern Boy done like your selection of tags! Ah sure ’nuff does!!

Unsurprised

We may as well add Roger Goodell is a national disgrace, though. Caus ppl forget that.

Just to be fair to the theme, Coach K is a national disgrace as well.

Unsurprised

Ooh. Timbers game tonight. That reminds me, I need to leave my apartment at least once this weekend. I am a fucking loser.

BTW, it’s really nice today.

King Hippo

TOTES jelly. Nothing good ever comes from leaving the fucking house. EMBRACE RECLUSIVITY.

Unsurprised

Well, I think when I just realized it’s been too long since I made a salad I think it may be time to take a stroll.

JustStopDude

I know this will shock a lot of you but Kyle Busch just caused a fist fight in the pits at the end of the Vegas race.

Senor Weaselo

Why I never!
