NFL News:
- Ezekiel Elliott was in a minor car crash on Sunday, so he’s been kept out of practice.
- Myles Garrett was held out of drills because he has suffered a minor injury and the Browns don’t want to break him (yet).
- Being a Brown will break him, however.
- Positive Vikings news: Teddy Bridgewater participated in non-contact drills at OTAs.
- no word yet on if he’ll be activated during 2017.
- Oh goody – they’re keeping the Pro Bowl in Orlando.

Canada 150:
May 24, 1932 – Parliament passes a bill establishing the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, which became the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in November 1936.
The goal of the CRBC was to both
- provide a federal broadcaster for Canadian programming
- in both English & French
- provide supervisory regulation of ongoing private stations
- including monitoring the amount of foreign (read: US) programming on Canadian stations
Initially, Canadian public radio was partially subsidized by advertising, as it was considered an essential medium for promoting Canadian business. The rest of their subsidy came from an annual radio-licencing fee people paid to own radios; the fee was one dollar. (The closest comparison is the BBC, which also – and still does – charged the same fee. The current (2010–2016) cash cost is £145.50 for colour TV and £49 for monochrome TV, per household.)
In its four years of existence, seven Commission stations were set up, none with more than 5,000 watts of power, three fully owned and four leased from private firms. Thanks to contracts with the railways that ran private stations along their trunk lines, by 1936 the CRBC was running six hours of national programming each day and many more hours of regional programming on various regional circuits.
It was replaced in 1936 by the CBC, which served the dual role of content provider and regulatory supervisor for all Canadian broadcasting, until that role was divided via the creation of the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) in 1968.

ET TU, STERLING?!
You know what sucks? Getting old.

Wasn’t this someone’s argument about TWD?
I should investigate this further.
Sounds fun. Note: by “video” they mean “audio clip” with that still of his ugly face

Oh, and this.
I though posts were subject to moderation here.
I am no moderate.

Currently making a poor decision. Details to follow.
Sweet…
Anyway, I also just saw this. Now, onto Fargo. Latr, tatrs.
They seem nice.
Speaking of tacos, did I ever mention that when I worked at that Mexican place that there was a girl hired the same day who looked exactly like this?
Fuck, I want tacos.
Nice little snack.
Emphasis on little, given my fat ass.
Not enough hot sauce, 2/10 would not bang.
I’m sure there’s some in one of those bowls.
But not enough!
Brilliant
I wish I could take Ralph Steadman-esque photos of the corruption here and post them right into the open threads. Just saying.
Your camera would wear out long before you even scratched the surface.
You can always see the crazy in the eyes.

When will Michelob Ultra finally advertise directly to fat chicks who eat bunless hamburgers instead of gym rats?
When Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi aim at fatasses.

I read the the Ultra people already met with Condescending Sermonizing Communications.
I wrote an oath to my atheist client: “Under penalty of perjury, do you affirm to faithfully state your memories and perceptions regarding this scumbag?”
That sounds fine. I’d be glad to swear on a copy of

I have three basketball coaches from Massanutten Military Academy in the room. That’s where Frank Mason III went after his checkered career in Petersburg, VA. I just asked them to describe him in three words or less, and all three said, without hesitation, “Bad mother fucker”.
Kafkaesque.
The day progressed as an “I’m this closer to a ‘Falling Down’ rampage”. I had the eye twitch goin’ and everything. Prepotent people need a Jim Jones-In.
It got better at home. The pharmacies around ROCK.
Maybe I’m naive, but I spent like a minute thinking “what forced horseshit” or “blunt, but efficient”. Heh. Blunt–I mean art. Art!
I enjoyed the irony, granted, it is obvious.
Yeah. You gotta be pretty cynical not to see that it’s visually pleasing. Too charged the other way, though.
tl;dr – provocative and well-executed??????

You mean, prison is an unpleasant place?!?!
What’s going on in Montana? I’ve heard a bodyslam was done, but I’ve also hear a MMA takedown followed by punches. Is there any footage to this? Or are people talking out of their ass?
There is a link below by Gratliff; no; the only people lying about it is the candidate’s people. You went right by it.
You know, I try to downplay how racists my grandparents were, but Christ all mighty dad, don’t ask if every black giants batter is cueto
Fuck CBC. They purposely tried to bankrupt the CFL in the 90s.
Speaking of the CFL, any Saints fans have any ideas on whether Adam Bighill is playing linebacker or safety? I’d assume they’d move him to safety, but, I heard rumblings they’d keep him as a LB
lol
The GOP candidate in Montana’s special election race for Congress picked up a reporter by the reporter’s neck, threw him to the ground, and began punching him.
Awesome.
PR 101: He thought the reporter was a woman (or it was a woman) and he was aiming to grab something a little lower. Worked for trump.
I, for one, will only vote for a man who can perfectly execute a suplex into a pin of a reporter he dislikes.
Any house member worth his salt should be able to hit a spiral tap imo

DTZM!!!! BRICK’S ADVERTISING ON THE SITE AGAIN!!!!!
Also….how much?
/asking foar a friend
I knew Hemingway was—shall we say, interesting?—but I wouldn’t have expected that. Though maybe I should have.
Was it a burro ?
Alien: Covenant was a damn worthy entry to the franchise.
Glad to hear it, because I like de sci fi junk and have enjoyed them so far.
Good to hear. I’m taking nephew Wakezilla this week to go watch it
Jeebus, Hippo. You couldn’t have at least warned my blubbery ass about that fight scene b/w Nora and Kevin?? Fuq sake man, some friend you are. Cried my damn eyes out, thanks a lot.
And no I’m not fricking joking.
You’re dead to me.
It gets worse. Enjoy!!
Actually I liked that ending way better.
Wooooo foar big aggressive pussy.
Sorry, god, it was good while it lasted I guess.
Gonna save the current one for tomorrow tho. Woooo that show takes a lot outya.
Do we have word on if tWBS hasn’t hit new levels of malaise watching The Leftovers? Or possibly new levels of intoxication?
I was doing well ’til the end of that one. Ooooof, lol.
2 more to go to get all caught up, but I’m thinking I might just watch Always Sunny for an hour and then maybe porn and some poker.
Sounds way less suicidey.
Moose and BFC, the comment awaiting moderation with the pub crawl info has been approved. I don’t know why it went into moderation in the first place. In any case, it looks fucking awesome! I hope you guys are able to do it.
It done be moderated; it was just some ideas and places. One of them is incorrect; they moved.
I am glad I was a fan of bleak-ass The Leftovers from jump street, and stayed current, so never had to binge.
Watching last night’s The Americans now. Uplifting, I’m sure. Hopefully I will give up on Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals before 2 am tonight…
So, the GOP nominee for that Montana house seat apparently just straight up body slammed a reporter for the Guardian.
http://pa1.narvii.com/6005/602b3a2a5660991027599549ce26cdf4b275c7ac_hq.gif
I look forward to him facing no repercussions.
I don’t know. I think they’ll finally come down on these goddamn reporters always harassing good GOP men.
Would that be considered a “fellow-buster”?
I have been in meetings that have spanned the last two days, where my actual participation/involvement has probably taken up, at most,, 5 minutes. I don’t get cell service in this building, and until now, the boss of my boss has sat behind me, preventing anything other than pretending to check my email for the entire day. My mind is mush and starting to leak from my facial orifices, and I still am going to have to drive back to San Diego from LA in the worst of rush hour, and they still keep bickering over NOTHING.
Never get engineers and sales people together and ask them, “What’s wrong?”
I assume the two groups just point at each other and yell “THOSE FUCKERS!” over and over
Well, it just snowed here are you fucking kidding me? Was 28 degrees Celsius (82F) here yesterday. Living near mountains is fun!
See, it’s reason like this as to why living in Calgary is a no-go for me.
Are you the product of some banging that was done outside the marriage vow way back in the day?
/asking for me
I’m the product of good, old fashioned institute of matrimony lovin’, so I don’t have a great excuse as to why I ended up here.
Bcuz there is no hockey tonight, and my O’s went and took the broom up the ass at home early today from the Twins (it’s the goddamned Twins!!!)..
I have decided the 3 hour marathon catch up binge of The Leftovers is in order tonight.
When I off myself from the depression later, I have asked Hippo to tell my family that I loved them. Now while he’s distracting them, I need one of YOU to delete my browser history And get that little box out of the back of my closet.
K, thx. I can check those off my list.
http://33.media.tumblr.com/3c9bbc264b0dbcc857b9da36f8ea98f1/tumblr_n8afonBkK91t72en5o4_250.gif
I call dibs on the box, I mean I will dispose of it. As for the browser history I am not opening that pandoras box.
Hehe. You are welcome to the box.
On an unrelated matter, you might want to boil everything that’s in there before touching it with bare skin.
😉
Smell the box.
So many punchlines it’s hard to choose just one….
/head explodes
Plot twist: Here’s what’s in the box.

Also the Twinkies are good this year! Yeah, I can’t believe it either, and I don’t believe the Rox once the weather turns warm.
Does a bottle of Summer’s Eve accompany the little box?
You can bequeath to me your trove of Offspring bootlegs and Sweet Valley High novels.
