Your “Title Abridged Due To Holiday Day-Drinking” Canadian Holiday Monday Open Thread

 

I don’t really have anything to add. There’s no “NFL Notes” today. I put this post together in spurts over the weekend, because it’s a holiday and I didn’t feel like putting in much effort, like Mark Sanchez. I did put more effort into crushing beers, like Matt Leinart.

But I will point out that tomorrow, August 8, ESPNU will become “the Ocho” for a day, and broadcasting sports rarely seen on American TV and only mentioned in groundbreaking places like DFO’s “This Week In Violence” posts by The Maestro.

Courtesy SBNation, here’s the lineup for Tuesday on “The Ocho”, because ESPN’s site wouldn’t let me cut & paste the schedule:

All times Eastern.

Anyone else just yearning for UBI right now?

Why is there a Get Shorty TV show now?

JerBear50

Presumably because Elmore Leonard died and his family wants to cash in.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was wondering the same thing. The answer, as with much else, is that Hollywood is bereft of ideas.

I have no idea on earth what you’re hoping to accomplish here

I actually give him credit for not dropping the cable and letting the weights crash.

This is how my day went, just because I know you’re all dying to know, right Señor?

Senor Weaselo

You’ve already gotten a pair of Zapdos? Damn non-eastern time zones, getting the changeovers while raids are still going. (3 Articuno, 3 Moltres, 1 Lugia here.)

Brocky

not all in one day lol, unintentional deception on my part

Senor Weaselo

Well the Zapdos were today, that’s what I meant. There was one kinda in the area late but my phone was basically dead from Moltres-hunting. And I wanted to make nachos.

Brocky

but I also hunted a moltres today, and the way i interpret what i said, was that I caught all six of those in one day, which would be insane, even if you live in the city.

just glad i can give the game a rest for a while, its been fun, but man, puts a strain on your other activities, more than expected anyways.

Senor Weaselo

…Until Ho-Oh, the beasts, Mewtwo, and Mew? Ho-Oh’s confirmed this summer.

JerBear50

I assumed I smelled toast because someone probably made toast. This conversation is making me rethink that assumption.

Brocky

dang, i hadn’t heard of that. well, i get a small reprieve i guess

Brocky

and i know realize that you weren’t accusing me of that necessarily lol. even when assuming things i’m arrogant.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Congrats, you have friends that play this stupid game.

There are many shows I need to see. (Hamilton, Sweeney Todd, the play version of 1984, Cursed Child when it comes here, Puffs, Spamalot…)

Wicked isn’t that high on the list.

The late 80s, 90s pop stuff you posted after I left never did really fill the hate box; by that time I had a cool cassette deck in the ol’ Toyota and had the choice to crank some Zep’ if’in I didn’t like what the local DJ was layin’ down.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You obviously have mistaken me for someone else, Sir. I have no idea to what you are referring. Please get out of my bathroom now, please. But take this with you…..

Inlaws day 3. Went golfing today with bro in law, and dad in law. Drank a lot of beer, had to pound one into the water on 18 to lose by 1. I will destroy dad in law on wednesday. Seems I now have control of the wine room, yet no sign of scotch room yet.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Don’t they have Home Depot and Liquor Stores up there? Build one, ya lazy fucker.
Also, no idea why I capitalized Liquors Stores, but fuck it, I’m not changing it.

I’d watch that only if the loser was fed to a pool of baracuddas.

I believe that’s Ro-Sham-Bo. The reigning champion, of course, is Eric Cartman.

I am trying to get a Michael Bluth clip from Dodgeball but every one is not you tube or doesn’t look like it will play. I have gone through 20.

herodotus450

espn could make The Ocho, just air “Dodgeball” all day every day, and it would be a top 50 cable channel.

Is the plan trying to bunny-hop that last car? Looks like he might be giving it a shot and of course gets nowhere close.

One thing I liked about this weeks Game of Thrones was when every shitty blogger got the episode last week wrong where they said you are an idiot if you think she is going to Winterfell. All because none of those mother fuckers understands a callback line.

Oh … That’s what you were referring to. Yeah, everybody’s GoT takes are fucking stupid.

I like the bag, btw.

No, I meant Hippo hadn’t seen it.
Sorry…reply fail.

I’m watching Most Glorous el beisbol Cardinals on the Slack-enabled computer, it shall have to wait. I checked this morning.

I might DVR that trampoline dodgeball shit, sounds bonkers.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

So we had a government worker over at the house today for in interview with my dad about getting my brother top secret clearance in the army. I was gonna dress nice and act the part, had nice clothes out and everything. I was told I wasn’t needed. So instead I hung out in my room and wore gym shorts and an Aqua Teen Hunger Force T-shirt saying “I’m gonna get tore up” inside out because in case the guy saw me I didn’t want him to see it.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

It is one of my rare T-shirts that isn’t already falling apart

theeWeeBabySeamus

If the fuckers don’t like Meatwad, then fuck their clearance.
Only thing woulda been better is a T-shirt saying “9/11 was an inside job”.

(Glad it went well for you, sincerely)

*flips around* Shit, there are some good Simpsons episodes on tonight. Mr. Plow, A Star is Burns, You Only Move Twice, that’s a stacked roster.

King Hippo

Sharing “Mr. Plow” with my kids was a nice moment.

Clipboard Jesus

Having a form of Dodgeball on at 4 AM Eastern instead of during primetime is a bold strategy.

ballsofsteelandfury

Boldly stupid. Like the rest of ESPN.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, given there are a shit ton of cable channels, why isn’t The Ocho an actual thing???

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Honestly I don’t know. Back when ESPN2 just started existing it would show really random shit all the time and I would watch. The poker craze even started there.
