Whoopty-ding-dang-do! Another Sunday is coming to an end and then it’s back to the soul-crushing grind that begins Monday morning. But wait! Not so fast, residents north of the USA. Monday is a funday holiday for us blessed lot. We shall whisper our obligatory prayers to the Holy Trinity of Bobby Orr, Terry Fox and Celine Dion. We will leave any and all expired food at the end of our driveways as an offering to the roving bands of black bears that protect our neighborhoods. We shall make love doggy-style to our partners so that both of us can watch the CBC News. We shall give a tip of a well-worn baseball cap to the Molson family which has kept us well-hydrated for so many years. We shall quietly harvest the salty and smoky bounty from our most precious resource and best-kept secret, the back bacon tree. We will even allow those dirty Armenians to come up to the surface (only for one day, mind you) from the living hell that is the underground hockey puck mines.
And then we will go about our unassuming business, content that the world has no clue about our odd and oddly comforting rituals. Now one must go… TO THE GAME!!!
KC/Hou: The Chiefs haven’t really been seriously challenged this year and the fifty fantasy bucks I spent on Kareem Hunt looks like a bargain. If Houston is in the lead at the half you can rest assured that Andy Reid will bring out the old tried and true “IT GETS BUTTER, UH, BETTER, BETTER” speech. That one is a keeper!
Show everyone what ya got down below, hombres.
Well, I’m back into another all night Python/TCL cram session. 5 more lesson modules and these are the hard ones. No telling what I’ll learn tonight.
Later y’all, I’m off to eat mo’ mo:mo
Hopkins scored 20 points on me in my money league in the last two minutes with the game out of reach.
Most meaningless scramble for 2 ever?
Once I scrambled for 2 just to miss the bus, but then another bus pulled up and I got on that one. That was probably about the same amount of meaning
GAMBLOR disagrees.
Whomever had the over/under just shot their TV.
What was the line?
KC by 8.5, O/U was 72. Ouchies.
Garbage points for everyone?
They burn their garbage here
You know what I had for dinner tonight? Leftover brisket and pulled pork. I put it in a skillet and tossed in some onions and what not and heated that shit up, shook it around, tossed in a little of this and that and added a salad.
Why do I bring this up?
Because the only thing more confusing than the concept of time management to Andy Reid is the concept of “leftovers”, particularly leftover brisket and pork. Just mention that to him and the Chiefs’ undefeated record will come to a screeching halt.
This was me reading that first paragraph.

Wait, FailRace is real?
(This is my reference, btw. Yes, it’s video game-related, but it’s still pretty funny.)
They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Who just broke?
Not JJ, so it doesn’t matter.
Everyone?
I’m not giving her the shot….YOU’RE gonna give her the shot.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
That’s a 47 year old taking that fucking fall
Oh, definitely fuck that.
“absolute lunatic” is an understatement.
Is it me or is it his job to jump from the top of the cage right into the table? And literally only that.
He quit doing that for like 10 years to go be an investment banker. Then retired from that to jump off giant shit again. He’s an insane person.
Well, you can’t do that at most hedge funds.
He’s also been known to take insane suplexes
Fuck. That.
He went out, but that’s a nice catch.
This just in:
Deandre Hopkins is good
Report now confirmed. Breaking news!
back to nothing to look forward to for several days. BLECH
Porn?
yeah, Bears games aren’t exactly hotly anticipated
Mitchell! Keenum! Deep Dish pizza!
Mrs. Borat is very attractive.
you can’t punt here
They were asking for it.
Did you see how the fourth down was dressed?
Slathered in a wet rub. Andy couldn’t help himself.
What about a cunt punt?
I never did that and you can’t prove it.
Bitch set me up.
Igor’s daughter?
I really appreciate the near-comical levels of commitment KC has in making sure neither Tyreek nor KHunt score one of their many, many TDs
It’s a KHuntscpiracy! Open your eyes sheeple!
Congrats to the Chargers, Jets, and Colts, on all winning their pathetic matchups today!
Anyone heard anything on this MIA coach doing lines of coke on FB?

“HUGE hole” — Ok, Al Michaels is just trolling us now
*UUUUGE.
Like, I dunno, if I’m supposed to donate my time and energy — I don’t want some jack of all trades who is like “Oh yeah, I’ll organize, take the pictures, I edit the newsletter. I have roller derby on Thursdays and my etsy shop gets busy around Christmas….but I think we can march on Saturday!”
Roller Derby you say?
We can’t see it. We’re not logged into Slack.
Oh weird.
I’m logged into Slack and I can’t see it either.
we can haz game??
I just needed 5 tries to find the game.
I may* have been drinking my way through the Yankees 1-0 win just now.
*Oh I was; BULEE DAT!!! CHUH CHUH!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Idiot Trump chud.
now THAT is something that could get a gun law changed, depending on who got arrested
“These three” were murdered by Jeremy Christian, who was harassing and threatening a couple of teenagers in hijabs on the MAX a few months back. When confronted, he murdered two men and stabbed another. The week before, he was helped by the Portland Police after he and other white supremacists crashed a diversity rally seeking to cause violence. Those motherfuckers got coddled by the cops, given armed protection, and bussed away while the rally was broken up because the Portland Police Bureau is racist as fuck.
Christian and this Bishop guy who just got arrested are right-wing pieces of shit and I hope they fucking die and burn in Hell forever.
Damn, that’s some seriously fucked up shit
White supremacy usually is.
I should start taking knife fighting classes again. The main trick to knife defense is to just get cut in non-lethal places
Especially since you’re moving into an even more dystopian hellscape than I live in.
Eh, it’ll be better than where I’m moving from
Hell, there will probably be a knife fighting app to go with the most popular handcrafted smart knife ever on Kickstarter!
Defense is overrated.
If you’ve got a knife, you’re already ahead of the game probably.
You need to enroll in Baltimore County Community College.
Stabbing For Quickness and Accuracy: Professor Ray Lewis.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And Senor gets to exhale because the Yanks won’t get swept!
Too bad.
I didn’t know my tibia had a plateau!
What is your secret for proper tweet embedding?
Click the little down arrow next to the Tweet, highlight “Embed Tweet” and that’ll bring up the code to copy.
“Embed Tweet” is that a euphemism of some sort?
Yes, but I already do this. Where’s Internet Dad to list the minor permission differences that cause this?
Now that I don’t know. I’m only here as the requisite Seahawks fan and to provide the funny stuff* on Fridays.
*May or may not be funny. No refunds or returns accepted.
Oh, wait. The game is still going?
They just didn’t have the heart to overturn the longest throw of Alex Smith’s career.
7 yards?
Play action to Kelce, plz.
Sorry….AFTER the commercial. Don’t want my FF woes to get in the way of capitalism.
Never mind, he’s not even on the field. I give up.
There there.
It’s hard for him to pass concussion protocol since they can’t tell if he has a brain injury or if he’s just being a dick
Honestly I missed most of the game, have the sound muted, and have no idea about anything right now other than rage inducing family. Did he get his bell rung earlier?
Never mind, just looked it up.
Dammit.
Aroldis Chapman is a very sweaty man.

I’m disappointed I can’t get to DFO-CON
You’ll be missing so much!
I think it’s weird that being an organizer is a thing. I mean, I get that like social movement need leaders — both symbolically and logistically — but I just can’t wrap my head around the concept that people are like, “Yeah, that’s me. I’m an organizer. You all just do what I say and we got this.” Like, unless that organizer is already in some position of authority, why should I let you tell me where I should go hold my sign (or whatever)?
Organizers have a skill set and connections that regular people off the street don’t.
Oh I don’t doubt that they have some practical qualifications, including interfacing with local governments, police, and the permitting things.
I’m watching this LV rally thing live on Twitter — like, everyone is on the same side and people STILL keep interrupting the guy in disagreement.
Oh, that’s because people suck.
I believe that I am too fundamentally cynical to see how this could ever work, too.
It’s not easy.
Neither is pimpin’, but they find a way.
Indeed.
Pimps … Find a way.
Realistically, I think people just don’t know what to do when they get to a protest. It’s like your first day on the job. You’re just looking around for someone to give you a fucking clue what you’re supposed to be doing right now, so you’re far more willing to take instruction from randos than you normally would be.
Agreed. My least favorite are the ones who are all about getting you to donate to their organization, so that they can make a living “doing good” while looking down their noses at those of us who work for The Man for a living.
And don’t even get me started on anyone who describes themselves as a “thought leader.”
What is a thought leader? Like, is this someone with a lot of Instagram followers?
It’s someone who speaks at conferences about actual research someone else did
Like….your research?
I take that you are not fond of these types?
I met somebody with that on a business card once. He was as big a know-it-all douchebro as you would possibly imagine. I found a way to insist that Trivial Pursuit get broken out to take the jackass down a few pegs.
His last name wasn’t “Brock” by chance, was it?
Worse. It was his first name.
Grifters
People have jobs in event planning and such, it’s hard to coordinate people. In order to be effective you have to do more than just say stuff, you have to make people listen and not fuck things up
This dude is giving, what I guess is supposed to come off as, an impassioned speech and 2/3 of the crowd is holding a candle with one hand and playing on their phone with the other.
“is already in some position of authority”
Think about who is in “authority” now, if you are the type to follow their directions, maybe objecting to the status quo is not for you.
I meant more like a pastor or Girl Scout Leader.
Wait; Girl Scout leader?
There’s a Hello Kitty thai restaurant near my hostel. I kind of feel like I should go, especially since I ended up of the EVA Hello Kitty plane on my flight to Bali
You got the Hello Kitty plane too?
Yep, I’m saving my Hello Kitty boarding pass
They really know who they’re catering to, don’t they?
Try the deep-fried kitten!
Watson is good at this quartered backing thing.
I’m too lazy and on too crappy wifi to figure out image hosting right now. Maybe I’ll do a ‘what I did on my October vacation’ post when I get back
Yes.
Email ’em to me. I’ll get ’em up for ya.
So to speak of course.
We can wait. Have fun. We’re not going anywhere.
Hey! Speak for yourse-
No, it’s true. We’re victims of the lack of inertia.
Why didn’t they send Tafoya to the hospital with a camera crew?
WE NEED MORE DETAILS ON JJ!
I mean, I can’t help but feel they woefully undercovered such a matter of immense national interest and import,
I like Michelle.
Agreed, that’s why the camera crew is involved.

I feel like his douchiness counteracts Lin-Manuel Miranda’s dorkiness. So we’re at a net neutral.
Are you suggesting LMM isn’t also a douche for creating a musical that uses hip-hop and minorities to glorify a bunch of slave owners?
I would say the only slaveowner he glorifies is Washington, considering Madison and Monroe are kind of antagonists. Not that Hamilton didn’t have his own deficiencies, of course.
Oh, good. He’s going to come out a full-blown Lex Luthor-style supervillain.
1000Bulbs.com isn’t a real website, it’s all a sham, right?
