Finally, the Georgia Dome was imploded today.
It was adjacent to the new stadium, also has a roof that didn’t open, and has Donald Trump wondering why the building to the south of it in this picture wasn’t also taken down as “collateral damage”.

Didja miss me?
Before you shatter my ego, let me just say this. I was supposed to be away two weeks because of:
- Vacation; and really just my wife’s need to take a trip to keep her airline status; and
- Because I was supposed to be away this week due to another colonoscopy.
But, after the trip got wrapped up, the procedure was cancelled late last week. So, I asked the DFO executrixes if I could resume my duties until I’m rebooked & have to go back into the hospital. They gave me a resounding “ehh…sure?”, so here I am.
There will be a “Boots on the Ground” from the trip, hopefully tomorrow. I’ve been rebooked for December 8th, so I’ll be here up until the 6th. Mazel Tov!
Game preview: Falcons at Seahawks
Had everything gone right with my procedure, I would have had today & tomorrow off “sick” so I could have attended this game in person. However, given the crappy weather & snow above 1500 feet, I’m actually glad I’m not driving south today to go watch this thing.
I guess it’s good they imploded the Georgia Dome while Atlanta is in Seattle, so Pete Carroll can forgo any defensive game planning to instead grill Arthur Blank & Dan Quinn about who else was involved in bringing down the dome.
The point spread is still three points & favours the Seahawks, but that seems kind of flexible. The Hawks are down to backups & recent signees at most of the defensive positions, and still have no running game to speak of. There’s going to be more Legion of Boom members in streets on the sidelines than playing in the game. Dwight Freeney might’ve preferred to have stayed retired. Seattle’s game preview on their website reads like a cult leader trying to deny anything’s wrong. If the Charmslinger survives the game upright, that might be the sole victory Pete Carroll takes from the contest.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta defense is coming off beating the Cowboys hard; it’s never good when the broadcast compares the number of sacks Dak takes to rookie Troy Aikman, although I’m sure he’s glad for the refresher since he doesn’t remember that year. The Falcons offense is alright at best, and Julio Jones should be able to exploit whatever converted lacrosse players the Seahawks will have playing safety. If the Falcons O-line can keep Matt Ryan from being beat into becoming the checkdown-king, he should get over 300 yards. The key tonight will be Devonta Freeman; if he has over 30 yards by the end of the first quarter, it’s going to be a long night for the 12s because having to focus on stopping the run will expose Seattle’s zone defence to Atlanta’s air attack.
I’ve got pulled pork marinating in the fridge, which is going into the oven the second I get home from school, so I predict the only true winner tonight will be my taste buds.

It’s good to be back in the saddle. AT LEAST I CAN STILL SIT! FOR NOW!!
What’s today’s reason? Not that it’s needed.
I sure feel badly for the editor who has to digitally darken up the more translucent panties before CBS airs the VS show next week.

Victoria Secret’s lingerie is pretty basic, but man, they sure hire attractive women to wear them

I don’t really care for Starbucks over roasted coffee, but I’m going to frequent them through January anyway.
I do work there since their cold brew is decent, I get free refills, and it’s 500 feet from my front door. So you can always just put money on my card or something.
I need to stock up on the Gay Agenda cups.
Buddy can probably get you some directly from the Gay Factory.
If it’s not this shit, it’s some assholes trying to exploit their hiring of thousands of refugees (ignoring that those jobs are in overseas locations, not that it really matters anyway) or their veteran-hiring initiative or some other shit.
At least the veteran thing blew up in those guys’ faces spectacularly when they did a Reddit AMA and got called on their bullshit such that they ran off like the runny turds they are.
Scissor me timbers!
Speaking of Starbucks, when did they cover up the woman’s breasts? I wanna say around 2001ish?
Beansie approves!

Hoping it’s … Shit. I wanted the killer meteor.
You signed him. And now Coach Zimmer’s master plan is fully in effect!
So only Saints, Vikes, and Rammit to worry about going forward. I refuse to believe Case Keenum is the answer.
Say what you want about Keenum but the defense is the real story.
Remarkably sunny for a cyberpunk dystopia.
You all know damned well Walsh nails that exact kick at the exact time and situation in the inevitable SEA-MIN Divisional Round game.
Drew isn’t allowed to have enjoyment.
Fuck Drew
…in general or did he do something to draw our ire?
In general. I don’t care much for him anymore.
Atlanta better start putting up NBA numbers if they want any shot
Welp
/chugs all the bourbon
Iced the coach!
I remember predicting this game coming down to a Blair Walsh kick
you see ded kickers
You certainly did.
Oh Derpy Birds
yeah, leave the middle of the field wide open. That won’t bite you in the ass at all
The Seahawks cause me to drink dammit
ATL is the stupidest goddamned team in the NFL.
maybe also shoulda played defense last series too
So, run the ball on 2nd and goal and it’s 1:06 on the clock now.
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSUS
I guess we will soon see if the Falcons have learned anything.
Narrator: They had not.
Well at least it wasn’t a strip sack with runback for TD.
I showed up at my buddy’s place in SF and he had Treehouse waiting for me. I may cry.
I have 12 in my basement fridge right now. Haze and Julius.
Tomorrow I’ll be camping out in Bloomfield to try to get some of Back East’s Ice Cream Man, which is goddamn delicious.
What are the other ten victims’ names?
Keep it up. Treehouse is 40 minutes from my house. I’ll make a trip just to gloat.
/convinced a lot of people actually do that.
//those people are dicks
I would.
Gee, might be nice to have 40 extra seconds off the clock huh ATL?
Nite all, may all your turds be tapered.
It puts the lotion in the basket or else it gets the anal gland expression again.
And to you I wish a clean snap as well

I just noticed one of the tags. Seattle is forever known as the Shithawks.

oh bullshit!
I think I’ll pour some out for ol’ Charlie Manson. By pouring some out I mean going to the bathroom and taking a runny dump.
SEA has one timeout. You HAVE to run the fucking ball.
Uh oh. I know how this movie ends.
Never change.
That’s just what they want us to do! Matty, throw three straight through the end zone!
