Howdy folks!
I feel it is my responsibility to remind everyone, well us U.S. residing folks anyway, that Thanksgiving is Thursday. Like, next fucking Thursday. As in 5 goddamn days Thursday.
And you haven’t even been to the grocery store yet have you?
HAVE YOU!?!
What are you thinking? That can of corn isn’t going to heat itself!
Man, if only somebody somewhere would have detailed instructions for what to do if you’ve waited too long to start your Thanksgiving meal preparation. Damn! Maybe someday. What a missed opportunity.
Back when I was a younger fella I used to be one of those lunatics who made the entire Thanksgiving meal by myself. Breads, pies, turkey all of the goddamn sides and I am here to tell you that that shit is LUNACY! Fuck that, man. You’ve got to do the group dinner prep. For the last several years eldest right and her husband have brought a smoked turkey and all of the dessert items along with some home brew that my son-in-law makes himself. That way all I have to do is make the breads and the sides. I can do that shit. Doing the whole meal is a young man’s game
This year I am bypassing the standard mashed potatoes – roasted garlic mashed potatoes at that – and am instead making my traditional Grandmommie’s dressing along with this beauty
gratin potatoes with onion, and gruyere cheese from this past season of Sunday Gravy.
I will also be baking a loaf of fresh homemade bread,
another recipe from this past season.
Oh yeah.
Wait, why are you grabbing your coat and your car keys?
You’re not going to the store now are you?
Stop that shit! Go on Monday or Tuesday, we’ve got shit to do.
Tonight we are taking it easy. We’ve got games to watch, liquor to imbibe, perhaps sample a few smokeables and/or edibles if you so desire and we’ve got dick jokes to make!
If you want some hot early season NBA action, here’s the schedule.
If the NHL is your thing, well here you go.
Our own King Hippo gave you the college football rundown earlier in the day and I’m sure there’s a smattering of college hoops if that’s more to your liking.
Now on to the good stuff. Your broadcast maps, all courtesy of 506sports.com

█ | Baltimore @ Green Bay | Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon |
█ | Jacksonville @ Cleveland | Andrew Catalon, James Lofton |
█ | NO GAME due to local team at home on FOX |
Holy shit, that is an unappetizing line-up of games. Is there really that big of a demand for Jacksonville/Cleveland in Nashville? Poor bastards.
Let’s see what Fox Early has.
FOX SINGLE
█ Anchorage AK | █ Fairbanks AK
█ Honolulu HI

Ah, no late games for Fox so they just jammed ’em all into the early window. Who you got on this graph? Maybe watch the Saints possibly drive the final stake into the hearts of the Washington Football Club? Tampa bay at Miami? The make-up hurricane bowl? Nah, fuck that. You’re watching my Vikes host the LAR aren’t you?
Good for you.
Finally here’s the CBS late window.
CBS LATE
█ Anchorage AK | █ Fairbanks AK
█ Honolulu HI
█ | New England vs Oakland (in Mexico City) | Jim Nantz, Tony Romo |
█ | Cincinnati @ Denver | Greg Gumbel, Trent Green |
Here’s a fun fact. I just now discovered that Mexico City is in the equivalent of our Central Time Zone so the P*ts and Raider game is a 3:00 local start. Nice. Or I suppose you can watch the “What the Fuck Happened to You Two?” Bowl with the Bungles and the Donks.
I can smell the sadness from here.
First? Let’s grab a cocktail and get this motherfucking party started!
Check it out! There’s a jukebox in this joint.
Talk to me, people!
Hey-o!
Amazon: We made the shitty football free with prime!
OK, time to go feel sorry for myself for a few hours.
And then decide who to bet tomorrow. Allegedly.

All the gambling tomorrow! (Today)
Oh Utes.
Tires spinning in the Alabama mud now.
This is sad.
BOW DOWN!
I still would have won money…. if I’d bet.
You should have done that
Agreed.
Oh well.
If I’m not mistaken, there’s a whole bunch of footy games that can be wagered on that will be contested tomorrow.
Get outta my head.
I’m totally not looking at moneylines right now.
YOU DON’T KNOW ME!!!!
(plus it’s all Hippo’s fault)
Wait….shut up, beer. You always get me in trouble.
I’m your friend. We have good times.
Well, OK then.
And the Huskie kick is Dead on balls accurate.
HE PUT IT ON THE GROUND!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ
I know how you feel.
Oh Utah, this is why you can’t have nice things.
I still woulda won at +18 tho….dammit.
I haven’t seen fortunes turn so quickly on a group of Utes since Bill said “I shot the clerk?”
Very nicely done.
So many references to interweave and I’m kinda ashamed I got it.
You didn’t get the first one!
Oh wait, yes you did. You chose to talk about escaping the clutches of GAMBLOR instead.
Where, when? What’d I miss?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sj062vXAns
Which would you rather get rid of: Thursday night football or the London games?
TNF
Yep, TNF!
TNF
TNF. 9:30 Kickoffs aren’t the worst.
London
Cause beer has been right with all my other decisions in life…
The Utes successful on defense? Did they find the ’63 Pontiac Tempest?
They are the benefactors of me being stupid and not betting this game.
YOU’RE WELCOME!!!!!!
Just do me a favor and plug in your ear buds or listening device of choice and please listen to the linked KMFDM song in the post.
I don’t ask for much.
I am so high.

I saw them in maybe 1988? 1987? Kick tour. Anything without Hangy McJackoff doesn’t count.
Agreed. When you win your job on a reality show…
Well, yeah.
No, for what he is, he’s fine…but you get it. Also, GO GET IT.
US Festival!
1984 or so.
They were really fun. Solid band.
That had to be Shabooh Shoobah. I saw that one too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP-kEWwQ13Q
Here’s a thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3XzGVuKiSg
Here’s one more thing….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJyKTNdPL5s
And another damned thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv_zJrO_ptk
Yep, I got no problems with him per se.
It’s just….well….yeah.
Marc Trestman: The Home Game
I never knew Ace Frehley left KISS and went into wrasslin’.

Really wish I could join you. Prolly need to divorce and leave family to do so. Not sure it would be worth it, but it might but who knows.
Well, I feel like I should not say anything.
But if you get there, you can crash with me. No one else seems to want to.
Thank you for the invite. I am gassy, and tend to sleep-rape. So see you there.
Hide the butter.
I bring my own. Land o’ Rapes.
They work with English muffins.
Happy with Bruins’ effort, sad with result, happy with winning $20 from Mom who is inexplicably a USC fan. Also, pretty drunk. Also, waiting for kid to come home from a date. Also, pretty drunk.
Is the kid drunk too?
Not yet. Prolly a few years away. Hates the smell of beer, has tasted wine, didn’t like it.
Still in high school, but hasn’t followed Dad’s lead yet. YET.
Faek Punt for Secular Big Love!!!
And it worked. Other than the penalty, that is.

This is an inside joke:
Um…I want in.
Finding a SFW image was difficult.
But well worth the effort I’m sure.
The things I do for y’all…
I get it!!!!
Sadly, that does NOT mean two things.
I’ve never wanted to punch someone so much in my life.
Well that’s not true, really. But I do want to punch him.
But no hitties backies!!!!!!!!!
Good; it was the correct application.
Frighteningly similar to my “dealing with asshole Canada Geese” method.
Fetching oneself had a different meaning I thought.
I hope it involved London.
Someone asked for an Apollo Rocket gif:
oh wait . . .
Ding-ding…
In the next scene they go horseback riding together.
They really should have put Sly up on a cinderblock for this shot.
Dude is short.
“Seems OK to me.”

What about Apollo getting rocketed?
If he dies…he dies
Remember Brigitte Neilsen?
Yeah, neither does she.
Snoop Dog is old. Black has cracked.
No Target, I will not be buying the Garth Brooks Anthology. I’d rather slam my head in a hot oven door.
I’m really considering that VHS tape of all the Progressive Insurance commercials. The perfect gift!
But Target has cuter employees.
Really wishing I had actually bet the Utah/Wash game at +18.
Oh well. Utes would be down by 30 by now if I had.
Sorry…by 30. Edited.
Who the hell turned off my numlock?????
Sadly, I’m all out.
No weed ’til Vegas foar me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Y0cy-nvAg
Edibles are great!
I’m confident some will be ett.
I’ll also be testing the “you can’t smoke weed in your hotel room” theory as well. Allegedly.
Bathroom vent fans ain’t just for steam!
Right??????
I’ve used many of those across this here land of ours, where it’s totes illegal. Like Imma not do it in Vegas?
So you’re saying size DOES matter?
DAMMIT!!!!!!!!
As Brick would say – stupid, sexy big-tittied B-36 main wheel.
Announcer on running into the kicker penalty: “If he got a piece of it, then the contact is negligible.”
That word, “negligible”…? Yeah it doesn’t mean what you think it means.
Negated. Negated is the word we were looking for.
This party ain’t bad. Thanks, beer!
My pleasure
There you are!
Shit, now Ayo is gonna confuse me.
You get your mom hammered yet?
/asking foar a friend
I hammered her
That’s next week. And not my mom, her mom. But also yes.
Stupid sexy Northrop Wing.
Version 1 was sexayer.
Stupid sexier Northrop wing….with your wheels, and your props and….well, I guess that’s it.
