“Umm, you aren’t beerguyrob” Saturday night’s Open Thread.

 

Good evening everyone it is I the substitute for Beerguyrodrigo who I believe is currently running bootleg jeans down to America. I hope he doesn’t get busted and will send me some candycorn m&m’s for me to do a Baking with Litre post. For those of you who just come to the fair city during footbaw season you may be wondering what the hell does this guy have to say? Will there be stoner talk? Maybe. Wine talk? Hell yeah. Plus I will try to fill in with the sportsing  as best as I can which really isn’t important as Ratbirds v Jaguras is on 1st thing in the morning tomorrow. I promise no futbol chat for once.

As some of you may know, legalization is coming next year up here countrywide and things are going to change a lot. It seems that the provinces are deciding how they distribute it and each province will have a different policy. Ontario has come out and said they will not privatize the sales and it will all be done through a government store, like their alcohol sales are. Both federal and provincial governments will tax it and be the sole legal distributor of the sticky icky apart from medicinal users who can still get it by mail. There is a few problems with this policy that jump to mind. First of all, Ontario is going to start out with only 40 dispensaries for the whole province. Your geography may not be up to snuff on Canadian provinces but Ontario is huge and this is not nearly enough coverage for that many people in that big of a landmass. Second thing that springs to mind is their pricing and how they are going to be competitive with the black market if they tax the hell out of the stuff. My medicinal pricing is on par with what I used to get from my guy Chad (seriously), but with Chad for Green (in my phone) I was getting strains of weed without knowing their potency. Now I have become very aware the percentages of THC and CBD as the strains with super high THC sketch me out a bit so I order accordingly. In my mind the provincial governments up here should take a page out of Denver’s book when recreational consumption was legalized. When I visited Denver after legalization it was a great setup everywhere I went. Security was high (heh) in these places and there was security everywhere. I am sure there are cons to the system which one of our Colorado DFOers are more than welcome to point out below. It was privatised but the government still got their cut so everyone involved was pleased, consumer, dispensary, and government. I will continue to order my medicinal through the mail because I have to do very little and it comes directly to my door with my mailman. 

 

Most of you who tune in during the offseason will know that I am a wine guy as well as a medicinal marijuana user (double threat). Well the seasons are changing and as are my wine drinking habits. My ritual on Thursday in the fall is to grab a bottle of red , fire on the interwebs and watch the coloUr rush game until my eyes bleed. Summer has passed and it is starting to get chilly up here so white and roses just will not do. Last time I did this I spoke about trends and how certain regions and grape varietals come and go. As of right now the popular red varietal is Malbec and the region is Mendoza, Argentina. If you like this variety (I don’t) definitely buy stuff from Argentina as the plantings elsewhere haven’t had the time for the vines to mature enough. If you are wondering about French Malbec it is something that you would rarely by itself due to French wine laws. In France Malbec is predominantly used for blending in Rhone. This time of year I gravitate towards Pinot Noirs from Oregon, or Merlots from Washington as those regions are closest to me here and the quality is phenomenal. Later in the season I get into bigger red when the snow is outside and it is -20 degrees. As for value this time of year I look to Spain and Rioja’s little brother Navarra as they still use the same 2 grapes Grenache and Tempranillo but the are a lot cheaper and are still great quality. 

 

On to the sportsing!

 

College Football: Times are whatever you see on the screen in front of you when you look it up.

Irish v Michigan St FOX

Washington at Colorado FS1

UCLA at Stanford ESPN

Also Hawaii at Wyoming! Go CowboUys! ESPN 2

 

There still is baseball games going on and Bumgarner is on the bump against the Dodgers so there is that.

There is Ice Football Preseason but the kids are still all playing so it isn’t worth your time. READ A BOOK WILL YOU!

In soccer there are some MLS games if you are so inclined. (not futbol)

There is a CFL game but nobody up here will be watching it either. Toronto v Montreal.

 

Remember if you are in a restaurant/winebar/lounge/Tomsula’s boxcar that house wine is the money maker for the house and the next couple of cheaper glasses are great value as they are trying to get rid of that wine.

Nah. Moar like a pitiful last grasp.
Same difference, tho.

Me too.
Thus the problem.

I guess I gotta behave now.
Fine.

So what’s the consensus, people? If whole NFL teams take a knee tomorrow to protest the president’s Tweets, do we give up on the game…

Oh, wait. Sorry. This is DFO. I got confused and thought I was writing to my white power website…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry? Who was it what who did want my song posting privileges to be censured?

We can certainly hope.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I don’t like you very much anymore.

So, status quo? While we’re at it, let me go find my list of problems that I’ve had with the last few TGISF’s…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehe

Everyone already hit the hay? I’m back from the movies and kinda want a nightcap.

We’re here. We just suck. And not in the fun way.

Who brings the better perk to their team: Jet Toner, or JJ Molson?

Senor Weaselo

I’m gonna say Jet Toner. That shit’s expensive.

herodotus450

Depends if his middle name is Black or Cyan.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If he were a real Jet he’d be dedicated to an 0-16 season.

herodotus450

Oh fuck me: how I have I not know that UCLA has a RB named Soso Jamabo? Is he any good?

theeWeeBabySeamus

He’s “Soso”.
LMFAO.

RB Cameron Scarlett for Standeford sounds like he/she could be the next Bailey Jay, no homo.

Even in Wyoming it close to midnight; wrap it up people! Some of us have crippling depression to deal with!

Seeing ads for a sex phone line, on an INTERNET stream of a late night football game, brings back some good memories. But also seems kinda poitnless.

King Hippo

I guess maybe the recently released from prison? Niche market?

JerBear50

It’s odd how frequently phone sex and phone “dating” commercials air now. I’m particularly amused by the one that points out that phone services are better because they’re instant, unlike the internet. Presumably they have a much different internet than I do.

So I went to get ice cream and catch up with Ex-Almost-Senorita Weaselo. Which leads to the beginning of the DJ portion of the night I guess, because this was playing on my Spotify as I pulled up to her place. (I did skip to something else/turn the USB feed off because it was too perfect.)
