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.
Now they’ll never get that smell out of the fish!

I was just being a contrarian dickhead.
I’m not particularly religious, but that was a really good movie.
Me neither.
And I agree.
I have the house for myself tonight. Should I:
1: Go to bed and rub one out.
2: Drink one more beer before going to bed and rubbing one out.
3: Put the thumbdrive of music I keep in my car in the home music box, air guitar for an hour while drinking a beer, then go to bed and rub one out.
Yes.
I’m confused by this “a” beer that you referenced.
Oh, it had a plethora of predecessors.
If you can think of and correctly spell “plethora of predecessors” I’m not sure you’ve had enough. This has not reached MTWV-level of late night posting.
It took more than one try.

The rainforest is overrated. Normally I’d say fuck Sting, but I just don’t have that kind of time.
You missed the house.
Almost hit my truck, if that counts.
won’t get you many views on YouTube, I’m afraid.
No views on YouTube is my ultimate vision quest. I like my anonymity.
No need to say it. We all feel it.
Sting is disappoint, but also understands.
I haven’s seen a collapse like that since the go-ahead field goal attempt of the 2007 Cowboys-Seahawks game
Also bad handling by a Romo.
I thought we agreed that was nevah to be discussed again in this forum…
Oh right sorry, I’ll rephrase: I haven’t seen a collapse like that since Tony Romo’s 9th vertebrae

I am very glad I went recluse, and stopped feeling things (outside of sports and music).
Broken links now break my heart.

Just got home from the movies and I can’t second BeerguyRobs opinion enough.
Dunkirk was incredible.
Holy fuck that was intense. May be the best war movie I’ve ever seen and I’m am old bastard.
I’d not heard of it until this thread. Don’t go to the movies much but might have to make an exception if it’s that good.
You can go ahead and see this movie.
I might do that. I usually avoid theaters because of dealing with so many dipshits, but it’s not quite as bad midweek. Last time I went there was about six other people in the theater and I went way to the back away from everyone. So of course a couple with a four year old walked in and say directly in front of me. Oh, and did I mention he had those cute light-up shoes on that aren’t at all fucking distracting in a movie? And can you tell how hard I’m grinding my teeth when I say “cute?”
If you have them, go to a 19+ theatre. The cost cuts down on the dipshits, and a couple of drinks might make you piss yourself in the movie.
I don’t know of any around here. Late show on a Sunday or Monday usually isn’t too bad though, especially once it’s been out for a couple weeks.
Welp, time for beer and the chainsaw. In Texas that’s usually called a Tuesday, but I pet against the grain.
See ya’s on the other side.
I can’t get over how damned FAST our new pressure cooker is. Chili that would take 4 hours now takes 30 minutes. I guess that’s why they call it an Instant Pot.

You tried signing into/re-setting Gravatar? That worked FOAR Hippo.
Thought that was the deal. So I need a WordPress.com login?
think I had a Gravatar account from long ago for another site, I reset that and then re-set my profile pic here too and it straightened out. Voodoo
Yup.
You must gravatar. Which I nevar did previously. Remember that your DFO logins are NOT WordPress.

I just finished sharpening my chainsaw (for real), now I’m gonna make a beer run then cut down a bothersome mesquite tree in the front yard.
Nobody else is home, I left a farewell note for The Dame just in case. If you don’t hear back from me in an hour, please hack my network and delete my browser history.

Oh so we’re going there?!?!? I’m gonna drop you like a bad transmission!!
Can’t remember the 80’s comedian that first used that line. Guess I’m getting old.
Welcome to old-ness. It only gets worse.

I can’t wait to start complaining about the regular season games!
Pandas are the worst, and the only species I actively hope goes extinct.
Speaking of chainsaws, there were some laborers cutting down a tree across the street so I asked if I could take some as firewood. He said he didn’t speak English. So I went and looked up “firewood” on Google translate and asked again and he said yes! Nice fellow.
I’m doing this because brush pickup is next week, but since I’m cutting down mesquite and this is Texas, I doubt the pile of wood will make it through the night.
No problem with me…
Damn, that looks painful.
Well I WAS going to have ribs for dinner…suddenly I’ve changed my mind.
Don’t forget the stump!

I was at an Eagles concert and the opener got sick and they went and found Tom in a downtown Denver bar to sub….. he was DRUUUUUUUU…..UUUUNK. Still made it through his set. Had tickets for the next night too and he was great.
In this debate I am 100% Tom.
Same here, I never could “perform” when full in the bag.
I like them both.
No problems with Cohen, but definitely prefer Waits. Did he play Old 55 like it’s supposed to fucking sound? Sorry, I will curb my Eagles rant before it starts.
No need to curb it; they were “free” tickets. It was back in the old days when you could sneak in…. actually brazenly walk in with beer and drugs.
I didn’t mind the Eagles until they got big. Then it was Lebowski time.
Yeah, I just can’t stand what they did to a pretty unique sound. They took this new thing that was emerging, sanded it down til it had no rough edges or any semblance of soul, and then made a gajillion dollars off of it while bands like the Burrito’s and GP went mostly unnoticed. And the more I found out about them, the more it stokes my anger.
And paid Joe Walsh so much money that his soul evaporated.
I am the exact opposite on Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. Cohen is a magician (nothing can make me weep only like “Suzanne”) and doesn’t sing like he is eating marbles whilst in the recording studio.
Well, I guess neither is exactly eating marbles now, if ya know what I mean.
I do not know what you mean. Waits is still around.
Christ, I thought from the entry Waits must have died this week. My brain is just fucking fried from the heat.
/though at his age, he really prolly should stop eating marbles imo godbless
From the heat?
I could NEVAR say anything bad about my beloved pillz

OH FUCK YOU MAN I GET FIRSTIES!!!!!!!
I put that on the wrong comment, guess it’s time to go to the big farm where I can run and play for the rest of my life.
The Dame just ordered tickets for her, me and The Boy to see Dunkirk this Sunday at the Alamo Drafthouse (a theater that serves real food, wine and local microbrews). I’m usually not a fan of the theater hassle, but the trailer of this one drew me in.
The last WWII movie I saw on the big screen was Red Tails. My God that was a horrible movie, the BLM movement should have started then.
On a side note, I think this is the first time I broke a thread’s cherry. Do I get a prize?
What are we? Just DForeplayO?
With time for a light snack somewhere in between.
Yes:

So 1.5 big fake tits?
I enjoyed the times I went to the Alamo Drafthouse, but found it better for movies I’d already seen. It’s too distracting for a first viewing of something you actually care about seeing.
I have the same concern. That’s why I do most of my viewing in the safety of my living room.
Dude. Have no regrets.
It’s an amazing film.
So… we AREN’T going to talk about how the Metallurg Novokuznetsk and Medvescak Zagreb are leaving the KHL?
Da!
I think the two are different enough to appeal to different tastes. Music, except for the technical objective musician part is entirely subjective. Once a person gives someone a listen and is open to their music, but still doesn’t like it, then so be it. WTF is it with the hard sell and the “ur stooped” if you don’t like it. “Yeah man, but have you REALLY listened to Kenny G, I mean REALLY listened?”
