Your “Magic of the Melancholy Tear In Your Eye” Saturday Evening Open Thread

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7UHd7NVegE

I realize it’s splitting hairs, given their mild similarities, but I love Tom Waits, and absolutely fucking hate Leonard Cohen. This was a fightable point last year when Cohen died, and I gave wet farts about his legacy. I grant that people are entitled to hold their wrong opinions, but I haven’t had that many people try to convert me since I left the church 30 years ago.


Exciting site news: we passed 3000 posts on Wednesday night, with yours truly’s Open Thread. I think that’s pretty good for a site run by volunteers & producing work based on personal interest. Cutting out non-game day Open Threads still has the site with over 2000 individual posts.

The truly commendable part is that the site continues to produce quality work during the off-season, when most sites  devolve into BarStool Sports, remaining lowest-common denominator until their main content returns to action. People are still eager to contribute, and the spam filter means we spend less of our time discussing the KHL.

Plus, there’ll always be Crimebeat!


A double-shot video treat this evening, as ComicCon brought us (a couple of days ago) a combination “Archer” & “Kingsman” promo:

Now all I want is a live-action “Archer” movie, with Jon Hamm lip-syncing H. Jon Benjamin’s voice.

One final note: SEE “DUNKIRK” ON THE BIG SCREEN! Holy shitballs – what a movie. If it was released Christmas Day, they’d be talking Oscar all of January. You can’t describe it without ruining the experience for others. Just go see it; you’ll be talking about it all week. Five kegs out of 5 on the Beerguyrob rating system.

When I don’t ever have an avatar it bothers me.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

4 ft wide place, I am 6″2 that is my home.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am sticking with the people out there now. I am going out the the store at 9 am so they have something to fear.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I really want that chair.I watched a ton of shows on it with my sister.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have been mentioning my dads insane and random anger recently. Today he got angry at a chair in a room he never goes in. Put it in the front hall of the house. Then didn’t fix it. Just left it there. He had the parts sitting on a counter for a month, Just decided to leave it there.

Mr. Ayo

Take another leg off the chair. Then leave the leg in one room and the hardware in another room. Then report back.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

The only problem with it is has no legs It was my sisters chair and I was gonna steal it. It is a great chair.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

It was like a 4ft wide chair.I loved that about it

Mr. Ayo

You misspelled bench. Or plank given the leg situation.

Mr. Ayo

Wait, how many legs does your sister have?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

My sister is mini. Her chair was gloirious

Mr. Ayo

That didn’t answer the leg count question. You know what? Just post some pictures of these chairs.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

if you really want to get pervy. super chubby hockey legs and giant boobs.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I don’t know to answer this. My sister has great boobs. Good luck she is married.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Misread that. I said nothing.

The only true original American music, outside of Native American stuff, but it wasn’t actually “America” back then.
