I hope BeerGuyRob’s ass is OK. And this is a selfish proclamation. Let me explain.
Due to Rob’s ass problems, this is my third open thread of the week. And already I’m out of ideas. I don’t know how that magnificent bastard does it.
I’m sitting here right now trying to figure out some cute little theme or catch phrase to tie tonight’s open thread together. I’ve read the real news, the fake news, and the sports news; I’ve also watched some porn watched some funny cat videos and yet nothing is coming to me.
So hey, I say to myself…why should I beat myself up and try to force an issue. If there’s nothing, there’s nothing. Sometimes, we must put up with lesser quality.
Sorry, time for lunch….brb.
Yummmmm….that’s good eatin’. So what if it’s a little crunchy? And so what if tomorrow, the bathroom will be an adventure?
Dessert? You bet…..
Sometimes, good enough is good enough.
Then again, sometimes it’s not.
YMMV

NCAA Baseball
…just because.
Yay for Davidson. Speaking of which, does Mr. Curry even remember from where he came? No, no….it’s doubtful. Hell, maybe we can get Dell in on the panel too. Because that would make it even more boring and shitty.
But suck it anyway, U*NC. Cheating fuckers. With a little luck, you’ll be out of the tourney before the day is done. May you never win another sportsball event.
Yeah right….and if you pull my dick just right, it plays Jingle Bells.
Also, I made that *NC image above…like no shit, that’s a tWBS photoshop original from years ago….of course I made it while I was associated with a particular NC State website, a site with which I am now persona non grata…..but on purpose, fwiw….hehehehe, fuck those guys.
Except for King Hippo, of course…..
(That’s a burning bridge, btw)
((Shit…looks like those baby blue pricks are gonna send Michigan home early))
(((Dammit!!!!!)))
Elsewhere, NC State pulled one out dey ass last night and now stands a puncher’s chance of making it to the Super Regionals. Big frigging deal. Will wonders never fucking cease?
Frigging baseball, man.
Do any of you even know what the Super Regionals is? Yeah I thought not. Let’s call it the NCAA Baseball equivalent of the “Sweet Sixteen”. Because like literally….that’s what it is.

Alright, that’s it. It’s not Friday so I don’t have to go mine the interwebz for photos of half naked wimminz.
No, it’s time to make some dinner…..
Well dangit. Maybe a drink and a smoke, instead….?
Well, shit.

Fine. To hell with it. Literally.
Time to embrace both beer and Satan….
Now we’re talking. Hells yeahs!!!!!!!!
True story…I still have a Back In Black t-shirt from that tour. The concert date happened to be a few days before Xmas (’83?) and as they opened with this song, Demonic Santa was tossing t-shirts into the crowd.
STFU….I didn’t say it was something of which to be proud. Just that it was something.

And Brian Johnson isn’t lesser than Bon Scott. He’s just different. Separate but equal, of sorts.
(Don’t say 3/5’s…..Don’t say 3/5’s)
And yes, I may have reached out to a certain Aussie native, who may or may not be a Nazi, and rubbed the current ladder in a little. So to speak. Hey, I never claimed to not be a whiny and petty bitch. In fact I’ve always been very honest and vocal about the fact that I AM a whiny and petty bitch. It’s as if you don’t know me anymore. Meh. So sue me…
But thank goodness, I have not heard back. Small favors. Fuck her and the Swans….
Meh, screw it at this point……
So who else we got from down under…..?
Wow, Australia is frigging depressing. Let’s come back to ‘Murrica to round this out, shall we?
Yep, much better. Now I can stop rambling. As far as you know.
Speaking of Australia…….
Life sucks. The sooner we accept that and move on from it….and at least try to make the best of how things are….the happier we are apt to be.
But….and this is important, so pay attention now……
We don’t always see things clearly in the moment. Sometimes later, if things go right, or maybe wrong, we get our explanations. Sometimes we don’t. Whether we want said explanations, or not, is immaterial….
Sometimes….being wrong works out OK. Sometimes, it works out amazingly well. So don’t get yourselves too worked up about being wrong about a thing…. or even a person. It happens. And it’s not the end of the world. Usually, at least.
Even if it might feel like it….even if just temporarily.

Now, go drink and comment. What else do you have to do?
Love ya’s.

Hippo has ball sack scars from the last time.
This is the game where Nashville scores 8 goals and in the last two games doesn’t score, calling it now.
Murray? ABSENT!!
Is Amari Cooper going to be a WR1 this year, or is he going to stay in Crabtree’s shadow? I have to make a keeper decision.
This is entirely a gut reaction here, but I do think Crabtree takes a step back this year. What round did you draft Cooper in?
I traded Howard from CHI for him.
I would rather have Jordan Howard, but each is likely a $50 auction player.
Cooper is clearly AWESOME, but just doesn’t have Carr’s attention the way Crabtree does. We can have up to 4 keepers. I got Zeke. Coop seems like a roll of the dice.
what do you give up for keeping him, or what are your alternatives, etc.
I would say yes, but not a ‘HIGH’ 1…
That would be Josh Gordon.
I was in Centreville! Beautiful Downtown Centreville!
sad thing is, I’m drunk yet still know what he’s talkin’ ’bout

So I mentioned this in the clubhouse, but the Mormons came to pay a visit. Fortunately I did not get the door so they weren’t my problem, because I would have asked why BYU is still the Cougars and not the Stormin’ Mormons.
DAMN SKIPPY!!
I don’t think Mormons are allowed to have storms though
too evocative of dancing and/or teh female orgasm??
And storms come from the sky, which is where god lives so its like you are literally stealing from god
I used to be really into the French Open as a kid (when I also played a fuckton of el tenis). Now I’m like, oh shit, the French Open is happening?
If only it was the first major of the year, because then you could have the Fondle Open, and so on, and so forth.

Name a more uptight, pretentious tennis club than Roland Garros. Oh right, Wimbledon.
Who’s watching the USMNT take on Venezuela?!?

Well this is nice I guess, but I for one am waiting for the inevitable fuck-up.
Try not to fuck it up this time, guys

I was still trying to formulate a good Roman joke!
Hawkey still close? I’m enduring some video game nonsense on the tee-vee at the moment.
As close as possible
Well, not anymore. But it’s still close
Preds just had two quick ones. Tune in!
Been drinking since 3ish. I’m not proud.
My corner liquor store was offering scotch tastings today so…
You just grabbed random bottles off the shelf and took a swig didn’t you?
Yeah, well, I didn’t get arrested so pppppttttthhhhh to you, buddy.
Are you allowed back?

I even shopped and cooked! Pulled the trigger on a couple of beautiful ribeyes and made some sesame garlic broccoli.
That be puttin’ the functional back in functional alcoholic, chuh chuh

Pretty shitty than the Stanley Cup Final isn’t on NBC on a Saturday night.
But you can’t miss World of Dance!
I consider it a plus: if more “mainstream” audience watched hockey, theyd probably add more commercials, more shootouts, more bullshit to keep them around
No, Doc, Phil’s trying to order a pizza to the locker room for the intermission.

I know I made jokes about her the other day but I will be honest, I cannot read about the “Ken and Barbie” killers without feeling ill. I love true crime and have read everything I can get my hands on (sometimes twice over) but “Lethal Marriage” was one I could barely finish and that shit stayed with me for days.
I donated it to a library because I never wanted to revisit it again.
Bad idea, kid is way too young to be identified through dental records.

I’ve made the following observation about the people of Hamilton, Ontario.
It seems like a 3rd of the men look like John Wayne Gacy minus the Pogo makeup. I’m assuming that this is because most have not shed the winter weight yet.
Since it’s gonna be Pens in 4, enjoy this creepiness…

Why don’t they look?
For any Leaf fans or Leaf despisers, if you want some happiness/sadness, Game 6 of the 1993 Conference Finals is airing on NHL Network.
Little Dougie gets a boo-boo in overtime.
I spent like 5 hours in the mill today, trying to get up to speed on things. Since I do training now, I don’t get overtime or anything like that, so in effect, I just gave the customer and my employer free time.
I am utterly out of practice dealing with hotel beds (insanely too soft) and wearing steel toe metatarsal boots. The old back is just one long fucking spasm.
Instead of going out, I just got a six pack and plan on just drinking beer and laying on the floor of my hotel until I manage to fall asleep.
“Instead of going out, I just got a six pack and plan on just drinking beer and laying on the floor of my hotel until I manage to fall asleep.”
I mean I do that everyday instead of going to work.
this is the heart of America!!!
What Mill? What do you train people on st this mill?
Sexy back

Charity football is still football. I’d watch. Stupid sports bras. She still has great legs and ass, too, though.
Whatever the hell this short is on TCM about children… how did MST3K not riff the ever-loving shit out of this?
Life sucks. I suggest pills y cerveza.
My job puts me around a lot of military stuff, generic is another term for MIL-SPEC. Although I doubt very much that it’s actually any cheaper.
if you get us launch codes, we will totes bump you up to Keymaster.

We had a hockey-themed Sexy Friday thread and nobody posted Rihanna?

I consider myself a very open-minded live and let live type of person, much more so than most guys of my vintage. I have friends of every walk of life and preference, they are my friends because they are people whose company I enjoy, nothing else.
Don’t mean to hijack the thread, but I can’t help but share this ‘WTF” moment. Am I the only one here who can’t wrap his brain around this? I’m not trying to start a Polflawar, but this group tends to keep an even keel and I could use some input.
Again, I do apologize, please bear with me.

Eh…the kid will be fine. I wouldn’t be surprised if the kid grows up to be a fucking stud just because of the confidence he will have by the time he hits high school, assuming he survives the ass kickings in grade school
Now if she was enrolling that kid in pee-wee football, bitch needs to have CPS called on her.
My step-son played Pop-Warner football as a youth, entirely by his own insistence. I was a nervous wreck as I’m grossly overprotective, but he turned out fine.
Kids brains are wired early on as to what direction they will take, parents can only help to nudge them in a positive direction. By that I mean a benefit to society, not a liability.
Granted, my perspective is from getting repeated concussions in the military.
At the time, I kept bouncing back. I was just getting my bell rung. Years later, I clearly started noticing the effects. They definitely add up.
Most of my neurological development was already done. I think its crazy to risk a kid’s development.
Believe me, I feel the same way. Fortunately there are now rules in place for the little ones (at least in my area) that greatly reduce any chance of injury. I did steer both my boys away from that as they got older. Both get heavy into basketball later, which was more than scary enough for me.
And thanks for the input all, I genuinely appreciate the different viewpoints.
It’s funny how issues of gender identity have become “political.”
It’s also funny how people get very uncomfortable when someone else’s expression of gender doesn’t fit a rigid definition they go bonkers insisting something is wrong with it.
I was about say the only thing I object to is giving kids purposely misspelled names, but “Cian” is actually an Irish name spelled traditionally.
No, I am as liberal as it gets, but that kid is too young to really have a sense of a “gender identity” that way (IMHO), and CERTAINLY too young to make an informed decision to be part of some online campaign like that.
As a parent, your first job is to nurture and protect your children, which includes protecting them from something that could be used for ridicule (rightly or wrongly). Your kid should never be your cause.
Too young at five? I dunno. I certainly felt male at that age.
Your point about using a kid to make a statement, however, is valid and I’m not crazy about his mom drawing a ton of attention to this.
I would think the “default” setting of following the herd is less of a choice than just something that flows. I would imagine that something as strong as feeling you were born a woman with male genitalia is something that one would have more of an inkling that something was “off” early, but a full-blown certainty (I am a woman in a man’s body or vice versa) seems a bit much for 5.
My gay cousin (who we always knew/suspected he was gay, came out to us when he was in early 20s) said he was sure when he was about 9.
Perhaps. I wouldn’t assume sexuality and gender identity are the same though.
Honestly, we’d have to ask some trans people when they knew to know for sure. Maybe it’s as young as five, maybe not.
True. And that’s just a sample of one. But gender seems like an even bigger deal to decide than sexuality, but it’s also even more basic a part of human nature. The human mind is a fascinating thing, I do wish I knew more about it.
I do suspect, as is usually the case with facebook-ish crap, that it’s more about the parent (hey, look at MEEEEEEEE) than the kid, which is a shame. But that is par for the course in life.
EXACTLY!!!! It seems like she’s using her very young child to enforce her agenda.
Generic you say?
Hey look! It’s 4:20!
Anyone else still watching the Netflix House of Cards?
I hate this show. It was interesting the first season or two when it more closely followed the vastly superior British version, but it’s become laughably bizarre and unwatchable.
So, of course, I’m watching it.
See, I’m waiting for the big payoff where they all get their comeuppance. There needs to be a fall and it needs to be spectacular and this fucking show just drags out the build with season after season of filler that does not deliver MY PRECIOUS COMEUPPANCE.
At least the open is beautiful. I’ve never been to D.C. and every time I see that open I want to go.
Spoilers: It’s the last two episodes of the last season. Whenever that is.
American version of British TV shows always fucking suck. We don’t know how to properly end things because in the US, shows are either ran until everyone hates it, or they are cut brutally short.
The idea of having just a successful run is still a new concept here despite notoriously great US examples that got it right (such as Breaking Bad).
I think part of it has to do with networks wanting long-term cash cows and that isn’t compatible with a finite story that has a natural end. It’s why I appreciate it when a show decides to just end rather than let the temptation of money keep a show going beyond having a good story to tell.
As soon as they went “Lucky Pierre” with the Secret Service dude, I checked out. Finished the season only out of lust for Rachel Brosnahan. Christ, how I would love to disappoint her sexually.
Holy hell I love me some Rachel Brosnahan.
