“You’re Not So Brave The Way You Behave” Saturday Evening Open Thread & Broadcast Maps

Just so you know, I set this thread up before heading down to Seattle for the [Redacteds] v. Seahawks game Sunday. My brother has promised copious beverages, and thanks to the handsome bastard BOLTMAN refers to as Low Commander I have coupons for assorted Seattle breweries to choose from as well. So while you’re Open Threading Sunday & not eating pizza, I’ll be brewery-hopping & not eating pizza.

Together, we can bring down the pizza oligarchs that secretly run this continent. Oil barons are just a front.


Well, let’s see who’ll be costing Papa John’s revenue today: (courtesy 506sports.com)

CBS EARLY


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Denver @ Philadelphia Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
Baltimore @ Tennessee Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon
Indianapolis @ Houston Greg Gumbel, Trent Green
Cincinnati @ Jacksonville Andrew Catalon, James Lofton
NO GAME due to local team at home on FOX

With word Thursday that DeShaun Watson may have Bridgewater’d himself, the Colts-Texans game sure looks like a lock for “Dog of the Week” on CBS. Ain’t nobody ordering pizza for that.

Unless they sign Kaep. OMG – Matt McGloin is now a Texan.  That’s worth a laugh, not a slice.


CBS LATE


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Kansas City @ Dallas Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
NO GAME due to local team at home on FOX

This…this should actually be a pizza-worthy game. I believe it’s also Romo’s first visit home in the booth, so expect the over/under on JERRAH stories to be 7.5. Plenty of Jim Nantz guffawing is sure to accompany.

 


FOX SINGLE


 Anchorage AK  |   Fairbanks AK
 Honolulu HI

Atlanta @ Carolina Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
LA Rams @ NY Giants Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber
Tampa Bay @ New Orleans Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman
Washington @ Seattle (LATE) Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis
Arizona @ San Francisco (LATE) Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston

Actually, not too many dogs on this schedule. Only the Cards-Niners game, but that’ll just leave us hard for next week, when the Bay Area is hit by an outbreak of Garappolio.

So mine is both more worn and more elegant, but this is my box opening tool :

JerBear50

Generally, knives tend to be regulated based on either blade size and whether or not the blade has an automatic opening mechanism, though it seems like that has relaxed in recent years. Could be the hypocrisy of regulating pocket knives and switchblades while maintaining fairly loose gun control laws was a bit much to stomach.

Doktor Zymm

I know a lot of my butterfly knives have been illegal, which is sort of where I’m coming from. It is dumb, we aren’t the UK, where people do get stabbed on the reg. Like you said, maybe regulate it later.

JerBear50

Yeah, I used to worry about it as a kid when I had all sorts of knives. Decided they weren’t really worth the hassle once I got a .38 instead.

Doktor Zymm

Oh I don’t worry about it, I’m a white girl, we don’t get searched for weapons. And I’m not taping a razor to my license kinda thing. I buy and use what I want and like and apart from one or two college roommates no one has ever been scared or affronted

JerBear50

I’ve got a Gerber pocket knife that I usually have on me, but that’s about it. I’ve still got a couple good boot knives, but they don’t attach to Birkenstocks so well.

JerBear50
Senor Weaselo

Four years in the admissions office means I can open most boxes with a pen. That’s probably the most important skill I learned. And how to drive the golf cart.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Wow; drive a golf cart with a pen. RESPECT.

Senor Weaselo

Unfortunately I didn’t get to drive the golf cart WHILE wearing the mascot suit. Which I did for one open house. And then they realized I was too small for it. And not that good at it. So I drove the golf carts.

I didn’t have my license. I might’ve had my permit. I felt so rebellious.

It’s true! Poop is body temp until you pass it and it cools! Also, d’awww, cute kitty 🙂

I think the knife I’ve been using to open boxes might be illegal in California. I saw at least one moving guy look askance at it.

JerBear50

Meh, I don’t recall California being all that tough on knife possession.
comment image

Doktor Zymm

A) That’s not a real stiletto
B) A German stiletto? Really?
c) That’s a normal lock knife, I wouldn’t expect that to be regulated
D) I’ve been opening boxes with a punch knife, which I’ve had for around 20 years

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The ; the killer of jokes, but not as bad as OJ.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Any Simpson joke is a welcome and warming joke.

Doktor Zymm

On a scale of 1-10, if a girl band did a cover of Sir Mixalot where it was “I like Big Nuts” how much internet?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Feels like the answer has to be two here

BrettFavresColonoscopy

(unless it’s a Louie Aguiar type situation)

Doktor Zymm

Is that a high two, or a low two?

Doktor Zymm

Awww, that’s not a truck. Adorable.

JerBear50

I am so glad that fad seems to have passed.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t know, I have a lot of friends with kids now. I would relish explaining that to their childs.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m not; I just wanted it to go with real human testicles.

Senor Weaselo

You’d have to change enough of the words that it was no longer a cover but a full gender-swap. So it would have to be good.

Doktor Zymm

I should have stated, I’m assuming it’s well done

Doktor Zymm

More like “Weird Al” type cover

Senor Weaselo

Right, I didn’t want to use the term “parody” because it would be playing it straight and not tongue-in-cheek. Unless it was playing it tongue-in-cheek.

Doktor Zymm

I think it’s hard to redo a song like that without it being at least a bit tongue in cheek, intentionally or no

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

comment image

Doktor Zymm

Huh. And I’ve always associated the term “degenerate” with “gambler”
But I guess that’s just who I hang out with

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m just going with what I know.

Doktor Zymm

Yup! Me too! Enjoy the panoply of human experience!

Doktor Zymm

On an unrelated note, I just noticed I have a visible dye line on my skin. I need to :
a) wash my new jeans to get the excess dye out
b) take a shower, as soon as I can hang up my shower curtain

JerBear50

Pants Zymm? Terribly disappointed in you.

Doktor Zymm

There were people, and work. I needed to cover my bits and protect both my bits and extending outward. Don’t worry, now that I have my bathrobe collection back it won’t happen again.

JerBear50

Well, alright then. I guess we can factor in mitigating circumstances to club policy snafus. But just know I’ll be watching!

Oh, I mean, not in like a Miramaxy kinda way, just uh… shit. Abort! Abort!
/jumps out window

Doktor Zymm

It’s okay, that’s why we have ground level windows. Wanna cocktail?

JerBear50

Goddamn, thought you’d never ask. As long as you don’t trouble yourself with mixers or any of that silliness.

Doktor Zymm

So, Rye or Gin? Nevermind, I ain’t bought gin yet, have some rye.

JerBear50

Sounds like a plan. That’d be my choice regardless. Even my Anglophile tv habits can’t convince me to start liking gin.

I’m still awake and still unpacking. Maybe another small one? After all, it’s really an hour earlier?

Doktor Zymm

Or cancer or bubonic plague

JerBear50

Najeh fanfic?

Doktor Zymm

Of all the reasons guys I’ve never met before who have proposed to me at bars (by the way, don’t do this, it’s weird) my favorite is because I was reading “Ham on Rye” by Bukowski.

I mean, what would have happened if I said yes? Maybe I should have, they might have just bought my drinks for the night then forgot who I was.

Doktor Zymm

Goddamn Rye is tasty

Doktor Zymm

Okay, I technically have redundant books. But just because I have the bound copy of a whole bunch of 2600s, I don’t want to get rid of my print copies. There’s a difference. I also feel shitty now cause I haven’t bought a 2600 in years.

Oh Furniture Casters, Where art Thou?

Doktor Zymm

I have noted that I am using all capitals more often. Seeing as I am not angry, nor do I really have anything particularly important to emphasize, that indicates to me that this current (small, see earlier comment) drink will place me at the optimal level of drinkiness, and will thus be my last for tonight. Imma go unpack more books, BRB.

Doktor Zymm

I like bats. I saw lots of bats swarming on my drive here. I know a recursive acronym about bats.
Bats Are The Shit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Agreed, and huge insectivores eaters….. annoying insects.

Doktor Zymm

Same reason I like spiders, but bats are cuter and more awesome

JerBear50

I thought schools stopped teaching recursive because everyone just types now?

Doktor Zymm

I hope this is a really bad winter for SF. I hope it goes down to 28 F and there’s ice and I get to use the things you strap on your feet for walking on ice that I never got to use in Chicago cause I only got them a year and a half ago and this last winter wasn’t bad. I WILL WALK ON YOUR ICE WHILE YOU PANIC AND I WILL LAUGH!

Brick Meathook

You are going to discover a new kind of cold in SF that you never knew existed when you were in Chicago. You don’t believe me now but in the future you will. And it will happen in the summer. Bet on it. Also, if there’s an El Nino, the bay area gets the worst of it, with endless, windless rain that just pours non-stop and constant out of the sky.

Doktor Zymm

Can you get frostbite in less than a minute? Do you have to wear 20+ pounds of clothes that take 15+ minutes to put on just to leave the house? Do your eyes start to water constantly because the alternative is flash freezing? Does all the skin peel off your lips from windburn from walking 2 blocks from your bus? No? I think I’ll be okay.

Senor Weaselo

Important question, Dok: Did you remember to unpack your adjectives?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkuuZEey_bs

Doktor Zymm

Stupid system will only let me like once. I LIKE MORE THAN THAT.

Wakezilla

I finished Season 2 of Stranger Things. Outside of episode 7, it was pretty decent. Though they really need to freshen things up for season 3. Now that the kids are in full blown puberty, maybe the group can start off in different cliques, or something.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Still only halfway through season one. I am enjoying it but also frustrated lady BFC wouldn’t watch the shining because it’s too scary and we’re plowing through these nonstop.

Wakezilla

This song is both catchy and annoying, which is why it surprises me no NHL team has adopted it as their goal theme song.

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

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Doktor Zymm

Unpacking is like Christmas, except it’s all your own stuff

Doktor Zymm

Another drink or not another drink? I’ve had quite a lot, quite quickly, but I’m also pretty keyed up on unpacking adrenaline. Might take another to overcome that. Or maybe I should unpack another box and see how I feel.

Wakezilla

Given the time, another drink will zap your energy. I’d pass

Doktor Zymm

Going to bed isn’t a bad outcome though. I’ve gotten lots done, and I’ll keep going for way too long given the choice. There is zero reason I have to get any more done tonight.
Maybe a small one.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Drink and reminisce would be my vote.

Amazing that Trump is going to fly around the world and meet Putin in person.

As shitty a job as they do, I’m wondering if the media really does deserve any type of protection.

There is a surprising amount of stuff that is useful both for horseback riding and bondage, and like 95% of it I bought for horseback riding

Senor Weaselo

Why do you need handcuffs to go horseback riding?

Doktor Zymm

Double ended snaps is probably #1 on this list

blaxabbath

These Pac-12 refs are shit.

Doktor Zymm

That’s partially true of us all, unless you’ve JUST had a colonic, possibly

In retrospect…….

Doktor Zymm

Well, yeah, those rose petals stick all over the damn place when you try to get out of the tub. Plus you have to filter them out cause they can’t go down the drain.

Brick Meathook

Look at Kevin Spacey pretending to lust after a female. Now that’s acting!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Senor Weaselo

Well, nice of me to finish my work day. Taught from 10-5:30 (though I had a lunch break and a move-a-student-around break), then enough time to go home, eat, and change to play a… dinner for someone who did a good? I don’t fucking know. All I know is it’s my duty to stay up to watch the clock change because I’m a huge dork before passing out because I did this on like 4 1/2 hours of sleep and a solid hour of lamenting shit from yesterday. I made a Mortal Kombat unlocking Reptile reference during a lesson and I don’t know how I even got there!

Anyway, apart from Bedlam almost having enough points as one team during an NBA All-Star game… anything exciting happen?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

StairCam )TM).

Doktor Zymm

A) She’s clearly wearing the wrong size bra for the amusement of the internet
B) I need to unpack my bras

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

and for that we thank her.

blaxabbath

Was the Reptile reference well-received?

Senor Weaselo

The student I was teaching is a 12-year old girl, so no. Although she chuckled. It’s well-known that Mr. Weaselo (my boss told them to call me Mr. and my last name, when I’m totally okay just going by my first) goes on interesting tangents. This was either about Sibelius’s Finlandia, Bizet’s L’Arleisenne Suite, or Nassau County schools not being uniform in terms of their grades for elementary/middle/high school. Normally my steel trap of a brain would remember which, but after Friday I was shot and it’ll carry over all weekend.

Doktor Zymm

Hey! It’s my first edition of “Earhole Fucking : A Journey of Discovery Filtered Through the Mind of a Madman”
!!!

Senor Weaselo

Should we be concerned about the earhole-fucking bit? That doesn’t sound fun.
/Not asking for a friend.

Doktor Zymm

I’m not sure if it’s a memoir or not, but I’m not the author anyway. Just the proud owner of a first (and only) edition!
It’s a joke from college.
Oral and Aural sound really similar if you don’t enunciate.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Doktor Zymm

Mmmm….my BAC is at a lovely level and absorbing nicely into my attitude. Also, I’ve started unpacking my books and papers

Doktor Zymm

Aww, I just found a reminder of how awesome I was in high school. And also how awesome my friends who are old and have kids and shit now were back then.

See? Arizona has fun teams, not good teams. This is why playing in the Pac-12 so annoying. Watching them play USC is just annoying.

Oh, then the refs throw USC 15 free yards on a phantom targeting. #firelarryscott

In reference to nothing, I’m going surfing Monday and Tuesday.

I’m going scooting, on my scooter, both of those days probably

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’ll believe it when I see the evidence. You already know my stance on this.

Then you will never believe it, cause I am WAY too lazy to any type of selfie, much less scooter selfie
