Your “I Remember That You Gave Me Your Shoulder” Saturday Evening Open Thread

 

There’s not really much to add.

It’s a long weekend in Canada – Victoria Day – so Canadians get three days to devote to the noble pursuit of finishing the whole 2-4 over the “May 2-4 weekend”.

In Vancouver, we have the added attraction of the Cloverdale Rodeo, with accompanying animal rights protests. Given that PETA & others just got whales banned from the local aquarium, I’m sure those half-wits will be out in full-force.

Myself, I have to spend Saturday night at “Winnie the Pooh & Seussical the Musical Jr.”, watching my six year-old niece and her friends bumble their cute way through memorized lines. Then, 5-pin bowling! At least they have a bar!!


Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Game 5 – Nashville at Anaheim
      • 7:00PM | CBC
      • 7:15PM / after the Preakness coverage | NBC
  • NBA:
    • Game 3 – Warriors at Spurs – 9:00PM | ESPN / TSN
  • MLB:
    • Giants at Cardinals – 7:00PM | FOX
    • Blue Jays at Orioles – 7:30PM | Sportsnet
  • MLS:
    • Whitecaps vs Sporting KC – 7:00PM | TSN
  • AFL:
    • Essendon Bombers vs. West Coast Eagles – 11:00PM | TSN2

Whether your long weekend is this week or next, ENJOY YOURSELVES!

Robin’s nest on my deck, they seem to like the location. They dive bomb the dog and me. Just now one flew close enough to my face to feel the wind. Not sue if he farted or not. Last year when their chicks were learning to fly my dog “helped”…… they never did fly.

Hahahahahaha.

Haha. I had the hummingbirds dive bomb me this morning. And this after I put the feeder out this week.
Ungrateful jerks.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

My uncle has feeders up at his cabin and there are four or five species, with one being the Rufous (Selasphorus rufus); that one chases off the other ones and will do that when you fill it. The asshole of the hummingbirds.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A wildlife photographer I work with (sells enough prints to pay for his kit) has some great shots like these. I have not had the patience.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Honestly for the hummers (giggity) I don’t usually either. For some reason, that day they just held still. I’ve meant for years to set the tripod and set the focus on the feeder and use the remote shutter to get some while in flight….but so far I’ve been too lazy.

Don’t forget if you use a bad word you can’t play for a few days.

Oh Jeebus Orioles, wtf is up with these uniforms?
As a native Marylander, I’ve earned the right to say this….
The Maryland state flag is the ugliest damned thing ever created.
ugh.

On the contrary, it a callback to regalty and shows class. That being said, that doesn’t mean that its needs to be stretched out on a football helmet.

That’s the one they’re wearing tonight. The pattern is also on the socks and the bill of the caps.

Dammit Moose! Don’t tease me with just a JPG of this.

Maybe their plan is to get the pitcher distracted by the logo and throw off his timing.

This is why I’m pissed I didn’t get into Angie Tribeca at Episode 1. I didn’t realize it was basically Police Squad! 2016.

Important lesson #1: When preparing to run a 5K when out of shape, don’t forget to stretch. Especially your calves, as they are an important part of jogging/running.

Important lesson #2: If you suddenly have both calves suddenly cramp into adamantium about 1/5 miles in, you might want to consider bowing out gracefully. While walking/limping/FDR walking 3.1 miles for a Finisher’s Medallion may prove you are not a quitter, it may not be worth the sudden pain in your calves and feet as your adjusted gait and impaired muscles may cause some discomfort days after the race.

Important lesson #3: When making homemade pizza, be sure to gently press the toppings into the dough but without smushing the toppings or deforming the dough. This will ensure that all topping cook evenly and will make you pizza extra yummy.

What if I’m making a pizza while running a 5K?

Something tells me I shouldn’t include this image.

India is making a Rambo film…

comment image

The film will specifically remake First Blood and will follow the last member of an elite unit in the Indian Armed forces returning home only to discover a different war waiting for him, forcing Rambo to the jungles and mountains of the Himalayas and unleash mayhem and destruction.

I am EXCITED!!!

I look forward to their take on Rambo III.

And his opponent for tonight, heeltastic Pete Dunne, who is sure to be shadowed by the GM, Angry Dad Bill Regal.

This one’s a fun one. I related to it in a way not pertaining to the singer’s perspective when it first came out. Now I have a child who’s bipolar and prone to psychotic episodes, and all the work and drama that comes along with it. So, now I empathize with the singer and it fucking wrecks me.

theeWeeBabySeamus

My empathy, dude. I have a niece who is seemingly entering into something similar as puberty hits.

That being said, the significance of this one to me emanates from elsewhere.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck it.
Let’s go full on depressing. For now at least…

Fun fact: This fucking guy just turned 20 and he’s been a WWE title holder for like 6 months. That just feels wrong. Like, I had just wasted a year after high school and was trying to find a way to pay for community college at that point.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Given that PETA & others just got whales banned from the local aquarium, I’m sure those half-wits will be out in full-force.

Don’t get me started on those pinheads. Jeebus.

...

One of the lesser known facts about the perpetually disgusting and smug Bill Maher is that he’s been on PETA’s board for 20 years.

How the fuck is it evening already? Feels like the day just started.

Ah! The pre-Blade 3 days when she had boobs.
