2017 Madness – Sunday Nofunday

Hey, at least we got rid of Notre Dame!  Documenting the atrocities…

#7MW Michigan v. #2MW Louisville (12:10, CBS)

Welp, the Wolverines did not go out with a whimper like I thought they might.  In fact, they looked good enough to represent an even fight with the Cardinals, the lone non-evil ACC side remaining.

#10S Wichita State v. #2S Kentucky (2:40, CBS)

The one time the committee gave Scary Wheat seeding respect, they also fucked them over by making UK the #8 seed in their region.  Lo and behold, the Wildcats took them out en route to the national finals.  This time, it’s the underseeded Shockers looking to repay the favour.

#9MW Michigan State v. #1MW Kansas (5:15, CBS)

After a slow start, Sparty absolutely blitzkrieged poor Miami.  Again, totes unexpected by your idiot scribe.  But I do not expect a repeat performance today.

#8S Arkansas v. #1S U*NC (6:10, TNT)

This game is being played in something called “Bon Secours Wellness Arena” which tickles me to no end.

#11MW Rhode Island v. #3MW Oregon (7:10, TBS)

This matchup kind of gets lost in the shuffle.  Maybe the most athletically interesting matchup of the day, though.  Run, run, run.

#11E USC v. #3 Baylor (7:45, truTV)

SIGH.  Yes, back to this fucking channel one last time.  Stay away from our precious Song Girls, you rapey BayBay fucks.

#7E South Carolina v. #2E Duke  (8:40, TNT)

This game is being played in something called “Bon Secours Wellness Arena” which tickles me to no end.  (Can you tell I won’t be watching any TNT coverage??)

#6S Cincinnati v. #3S UCLA (9:40, TBS)

Cincy looked much better than expected on Friday.  They gon’ get they teeth kicked in, and Hippo gon’ fall asleep.

I really just want Lonzo Balls dad to progress.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So what do we call the part of the draw that includes Duke, Baylor, and USC? Bracket of Evil? Bracket of Hate?

Unsurprised

Yes

Croooow

Baylor are still losers for life.

blaxabbath

“Loser? I can get laid anytime I want with anyone I want! Now you tell me who the loser is.”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jesus, I get angrier each time I see this execrable preview for Ghost in the Shell.

Gratliff

Wait for those live action Miyazaki movies. YOU KNOW THEY’RE COMING

LemonJello

Isn’t someone trying to ruin Akira by giving it the ol’Hollywood shit-sandwich treatment?

Unsurprised

Yes

Gratliff

I’ve seen a couple fan shot-for-shot scenes, so I imagine they’re gonna fuck that chicken sooner rather than later.

Shit, Mom told me she threw all of those away.

JustStopDude

Alex Jones just posted a quote from Abraham Lincoln on twitter.

Does anyone else find this fucking hilarious like me?

Unsurprised

I just want him to fucking die.

JustStopDude

I just wished he actually believe the shit he said to try and sell survivalist products.

Then he would be too paranoid to ever leave his compound or even communicate with the outside world.

Unsurprised

I already made my point about trolls being the most evil people alive.

Senor Weaselo

At least it wasn’t from Abradolf Lincler?

Unsurprised

All this Rhode Island discussion reminds me that you all should listen to Crimetown.

http://www.crimetownshow.com

blaxabbath

What is it?

Unsurprised

It’s a podcast about the recent history of organized crime in Providence with more than a few showing how integrated crime was into the political structure of the city and state.

blaxabbath

I just started episode one. STOP SPOILING IT!

Gratliff

URI’s my cinderella team. Quit fucking around and bury Oregon already.

rockingdog

oh shit. RI up by 11 against Oregon.

rockingdog

RI and Oregon is tight.

rockingdog

Tripple Double Crunch Wrap.

rockingdog

Pre-Diabetes? WTF?

Unsurprised

What about it?

Croooow

That’s one of the things that can make the NIT fun. All those mid-majors that would likely go one-and-done in the NCAA tournament often get go on winning streaks and deep runs here.

Brocky

I couldn’t watch Holes either, I knew how it ended, I had read the book:

sorry, it was funny in my head okay?

theeWeeBabySeamus

You say that a lot, I bet.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup.
So close, tho.
Time foar moar vodka.

...

So I’m reading an article about a man who died unexpectedly leaving behind his MS-suffering wife and autistic son with the mountain of medical bills needed to care for each. He was the primary income and caregiver for his family. Someone set up a GoFundMe and now the family has about $120K, which is a great relief for them.

Of course, what’s the first comment on the story that has the most likes? One stating that you should buy life insurance.

We genuinely hate our fellow man in America, don’t we?

Unsurprised

No shit.

blaxabbath

Expected the story to be about how the IRS was taking their home for not paying taxes on that $120k.

Croooow

Would you believe that Syracuse got knocked out by Ole Miss?

Croooow

Iowa got eliminated by TCU today in OT. I might cheer on Colorado State to win the NIT now, since I know someone who is an alum.

Brocky

took a nap, woke up and decided that it was time……..

Time? Time? TIME

Time to get into this bad boy for the first time this year:

okay, my tub isn’t that nice, but I feel its the perfect temperature for it, the jets have a sweet timer, ran them three times, totally relaxed.

as usually, i’m trying to figure out a way to get a tv out there. either find a waterproof tv, or turn the deck into a proper 3 season room. i’m too paranoid to get the phone too close.

oh yeah, sports. I picked Michigan state to beat kansas. so, l guess the jayhawks get the honor of knocking purdue out.

my dog has hiccups. its funny.

rockingdog

Quick question: Is Rhode Island as a state under ratted? Over rated?

JustStopDude

Its funny…60 Minutes is making it sound like these people get fired and then there is an Indian guy sitting at their desk.

The jobs are in India. Basically they are already over there. The folks that come into the states get trained, but then immediately go back to India.

Also…the idea that American IT workers are superstar workers compared to Indians is pretty humorous to me.

...

Why am I chasing chocolate with whiskey again?

JustStopDude

Why the fuck wouldn’t you?

...

*pours a double*

theeWeeBabySeamus

Alright God, you’re 0 fer one, and you ain’t looking good in the second game either.
No wonder shit’s so fucked up on this planet…..

Hey, maybe He heard me. Go Pig sooie!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey look, KU dipshit managed to actually not get himself blocked by the rim that time.
He looks proud.

JustStopDude

I was leaning back in my in my office chair, watching the game, when I heard a crack. I thought it was just my back popping.

Turns out it was one of the chair leg wheels.

I then heard another crack and when falling backward.

Its a really old office chair that I have had for like 10 years.

I still feel really fat now.

Unsurprised

I broke the bolt holding an armrest to the body of my vintage office chair. So, no, by no means are you fat.

I’m avoiding looking up how to fix it myself (the head of the bolt is in the armrest so I’d have to take the leather stitching apart to get to it and then drill the piece still in the hole out so I can replace it, which I’ve never actually done before (and I don’t have a drill). Being fat fucking sucks.

JustStopDude

I’m hard as fuck on chairs because of my back. I end up just flexing the shit out of them to try and get comfortable.

When I was doing this shit job in the middle east, we had this work trailer provided by the Finish crane company we were working for. The British site manager for the Fins was a complete fucking bastard. When I showed up, most of the chairs were already broken because this cheap ass would not replace shit.

I sit in a weird way. I sit in a really weird way when say I broke a foot months ago and the British piece of shit won’t release my travel documents so I can get my foot and leg fixed because he knows I won’t come back.

He would always come to our side of the trailers to start shit with us whenever he was pissed. I normally am not in the trailer anyway because I am on the cranes working usually. Well he spots me and makes a big scene that I am sitting in the chairs weird and since the chairs are all broken, it must be because of the way I am sitting and unless I can sit in them proper, I don’t need to be sitting in his chairs.

He then slammed the door and stomped off to his office and slammed the door, while all the Fins, Brits, Americans, and Indians stared at me.

Unsurprised

What an asshole.

JustStopDude

Well i just got up, limped to his desk, and ignored him went he screamed he was done with me.

I then calmly told him…

“Peter, if you do not want me here, than give me my documents. I have no desire to be here. You know I need to get this leg fixed. But you also know…or at least you have to know, that I am the last American (insert my company’s name here) is sending here because you have managed to burn through over 20 engineers, three of which quit our company completely rather than risk working with you ever again. You have BURNED through our entire US office. At best, you will get four engineers from India and you know that you don’t want that.

So either we act professional to each other, or I refuse to leave my hotel room until you release my documents. Now we are done here either way and Sagar is going to carry me to block 14.”

We didn’t speak to each other in any format until I left two months later.

Unsurprised

Two months!? Jesus Fucking Christ.

Horatio Cornblower

Kansas just done woked up.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck it, I can tend to a hyper fucking kid with a fever…while high.
Right?
(me high I mean…not the kid)
((although that’s an interesting thought))

Unsurprised

You can sure as Hell try. Maybe getting the kid high isn’t that bad an idea, but I can see how being a little high could calm you enough not to freak the fuck out at every slight change in the air pressure or event that happens while you’re taking care of her.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This place is so confusing….

I do like that Kansas’ logo is just some grinning big-footed bird.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Yep….she’s still hotter than any of you.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not the same way I do, I suspect.
And if she does…..

I should write a 5 part review about power rangers, in honor of the movie coming out.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh god, please let there be.

Whoa, just had a 2 hour post futbol weed nap. How the fuck we doin boys?

litre_cola

Ha! Mrs Cola is out giving a presentation and I got stoned, curled up with Canine Cola and passed out. She still wanted brunch at the pub today so i got to watch the futbol. 1 month to go…

theeWeeBabySeamus

No nap so far, But I am about to be intra-weed, presuming niece’s fever is down.
/grabs thermometer

Big money, big money…no whammies.
Shit.

litre_cola

As a child, the cartoon whammy was fantastic. Also, when the Challenger went boom, I remember being very pissed off that Scooby Doo wasn’t on. Years on, I now know why I am a pothead.

herodotus450

Yeah but, do you have the second fewest possible points remaining? Oh, you have the first fewest…

theeWeeBabySeamus

If Kansas, U*NC and Duke could all lose today, it might restore my faith in the world and, dare I say, might even make me reconsider my stance on God.

Those are my terms, you omniscient/omnipotent jerk. You could do it if you really wanted to.

herodotus450

According to youtube, Smashmouth’s third most famous song is a cover of The Moknees’ “I’m a Believer”

theeWeeBabySeamus

It was one of the Shrek’s IIRC. Don’t know which one, never watched ’em. But niece has watched ’em all so many times I know that song was in one of ’em.

HEHE…so was this one. You’re welcome and I’m sorry….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUypt2nvorM

herodotus450

Oh, Shrek maybe, that’s why SM is referenced with Shrek for some reason. Too old to have watched those movies, too ugly to have kids young enough to watch them.
