As in life, a light menu this evening, in anticipation of the big feast tomorrow.
NFL News:
- Josh Gordon was officially back at Browns practice today.
- So, I guess we’re no longer talking about 0-16?
- Driving even ardent Christians to pray for a meteor, Donald Trump & LaVar Ball continued their twitter feud.
- Now, I might be a white Canadian male with a Wet Hitler haircut, but it sure comes across like Trump wants Ball to get on his knees and thank his
masterPresident for showing such benevolence on his son’s behalf.

- For some reason, the Seahawks have cut Dwight Freeney.
- ESPN guesses “cap space”, since the Seahawks only have $150,505 left, including Freeney’s salary.
- Cutting him opens a roster spot and leaves them some extra money to sign someone, if they are still considering a playoff run.
- The Hall of Fame semi-finalists were announced last night. The headliners are Randy Moss & Ray Lewis.
- Moss & Lewis should get in, so that leaves a maximum of 5 from the remaining candidates.
- Argue amongst yourselves individual merits. I say Terrell still gets hosed.
- ESPN has a much better way of listing the other finalists, so I’m stealing their list:
- Others in their initial year of eligibility who made this cut are Brian Urlacher, Richard Seymour, Steve Hutchinson and Ronde Barber.
- Four previously eligible players made the semifinals for the first time: LeRoy Butler, Leslie O’Neal, Simeon Rice and Everson Walls. All others on the 2018 list have reached the semifinals in previous years.
- Already chosen as finalists are Bobby Beathard as a contributor, and Robert Brazile and Jerry Kramer as senior candidates.
- The other semifinalists are Steve Atwater, Tony Boselli, Isaac Bruce, Don Coryell, Roger Craig, Brian Dawkins, Alan Faneca, Torry Holt, Joe Jacoby, Edgerrin James, Jimmy Johnson, Ty Law, John Lynch, Kevin Mawae, Karl Mecklenburg, Terrell Owens and Hines Ward.
- Moss & Lewis should get in, so that leaves a maximum of 5 from the remaining candidates.
Finally, breaking news out of Buffalo:
Head Coach Sean McDermott has announced that Tyrod Taylor will start at QB this Sunday.#BUFvsKC #GoBills pic.twitter.com/TuU6d9BD0o

- As for the fan reaction, here’s a brief “Hope Clicks Eternal” summation:
“Forsooth.” sayeth the fan base. “Forsooth!” Followed by a chugged beer and a smashed table.

FUCKING STRUCTURALLY WEAK CHIP! NOW I HAVE TO SEND IN A RESCUE CHIP TO SAVE YOUR ASS!
I over reacted; it is good dip.
But that chip was a slacker!
Glorree BOY chip!
Cost me valuable time, valuable energy.
You could have spent that time watching tape!
Reading the dipbook too!
I hate those brittle bastards. You scoop out that fucker and gobble em up
The rescue chip was brave; god bless. He is in a better place now; with beer.
When all else fails, send in the Fritos Scoops.
The blue corn chips are good soldiers…. nope; from Mexico! They are here to take hard working Frito jerbs!
On my day off this past Monday we decided to rearrange the living room a bit. New furniture and all.
In order to accommodate everything we had to – sigh – move my 40 gallon fish tank.
Sound easy?
Five fucking hours later! The tank looks spectacular now and it’s the clear showpiece of the living room and all my fishies survived! Including my 5 year old angel fish.
It’s a bastard lowering the water level enough to move the tank and then reconditioning and SLOWLY adding in new water so the fish don’t go into shock.
Sure! Raising fish is easy they said!
I had 3 50s and a 100. Notice the had…I feel your pain.
The fish in the tank are the same ones after my last move over 5 years ago. I didn’t monitor the PH levels and when I put the old fish in there they spent the next 4 hours committing suicide by slamming themselves into the glass repeatedly.
It was goddamn horrible.
5 yr old angel? Thems good eats.
😉
I just realized how that sounded.
I’ll show myself out.
I hope you haven’t seen “Snowden”.
Been there, done that. Sucks ALL the ass. Saltwater is the worst, expensive as fuck.
Fish are super easy if you don’t care if they survive or not. That’s why they give them to children at the fair.
live plants in the tank?
No, plastic. Live plants are an algae making science experiment with the sun the tank gets in the afternoon.
My plecostomus would love it though.
Hopefully by the end of this long weekend I should be done unpacking, including putting up pictures and other small details in endstage unpacking
The picture hanging element is a sure sign that the long national nightmare is almost over.
I really need to hang up my coat rack, my hoodies are scattered all over the place. And that’s super inconvenient now that I live somewhere where it’s always hoodie weather
Moving is the worst.
I moved into my house over 25 years ago, still got boxes in my garage that I never opened. Probably has my Z Cavaricci parachute pants and white suit in there somewhere.
Oh you gotta dig that stuff out! Journey of discovery!
Already made that mistake. Tried on a very old pair of pants for an ’80’s costume party, couldn’t get them over my ass. Seriously.
It’s that cheap Asian nylon that shrinks in storage, yeah…that’s it!
Buy ‘murican from WalMart! MAGA MAGA!!!!!!
FUN HOLIDAY FACTOID!
The guy who sings “you’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch” is the voice of Tony the Tiger (it’s grrrrreat!).

You Know What Sucks? (episode #147)
Paying your mother’s house off and having your own credit score drop 3 points.
Probably just a coincidence, but still. That really kinda irks the shit out of me.
you have to have debt to have a good credit score apparently. Makes fucking sense, especially if you have established pay-offs. Fuck.
Admittedly, I’m a bit anal about my credit score since getting it fixed after the ex blew it out of the water (without my knowledge).
Not a bad thing; it does get manipulated by odd things. Also, as you know; the credit agencies are basically unregulated and don’t care about your personally data. Time for a beer.
Oysters have been procured and mini hibachi grill is a go. Coals will be ready by 9am.
Also intrigued.
I read that as hitachi at first. Hibachi makes more sense, but is less intriging.
The Hitachi is one of the top five inventions of all time. NO ONE DENIES THIS!
With a few minor modifications, Hitachi’s make excellent immersion blenders! Just be sure that you…well…just buy two okay?
Add water, makes it’s own sauce!
Hola. Is it Friday yet?

Kind of wish I had some of Hippo’s buffalo chili to dip this awesome looking cornbread in.
Hardest part is having enough cornbread and biscuits for dressing tomorrow.
Hehe. I’ve been saving extra biscuits back since summer. Those fuckers are stale, dry and ready to party.
Much like myself, now that I think about it.
We’re not really talking about biscuits anymore, are we……
Column A, Column B.
LOL
Minimum gallon of gravy.
Chicken/turkey stock will do the trick.
Gravy comes laterer.
Exactly, The stock I’m making now will go in the dressing and I’ll save the rest for gravy.
Also, great article on Deadspin about the dressing v. stuffing debate.
https://verysmartbrothas.theroot.com/it-s-dressing-save-a-life-cut-it-out-with-the-stuffin-1820607682
I’m very obviously on team “dressing”.
Ditto.
Most of all because I ain’t stuffing this up a turkey’s ass!
That shit completely fucks with the cooking times and temps. You either get well done stuffing and dry as fuck turkey or juicy turkey with a side of e-coli stuffing.
Won’t somebody think of the children?
I like stuffing.
/that’s what she said.
My hawt taek?
Stuffing: Cooked shoved up bird’s ass – bad idea.
Dressing: Cooked separately using bits o’ bird – better idea.
What’s a little Salmonella amongst friends and family?
Samesies!
Or as they say “An Indianapolis shot.”
We go now live to tWBS and/or Fozz for comment:

Leave the pants, take the bourbon.

New DFO slogan?
Romonobyl and yeah right seem to be doing well in preparation….. we all have our ways.
Where’d you get my high school diary?
*Diet Coke
This…this is my own personal Fappening!!!!!
Isn’t today a holiday in Texas?
There will be no parade.
Before the photo loaded, I thought this was a super obscure joke about how Texas was the last state to celebrate Thanksgiving on the 4th Thursday of November but nope, just a good ol’ JFK head asplode joke.
Wait…so was starting Peterman a #FalseFlag to distract from the other problems on the team?
I thought it was a dog whistle
Wait Darrelle Revis is on the Kansas City chiefs now?http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000881610/article/darrelle-revis-signs-contract-with-kansas-city-chiefs
Well, he is now!
New England Patriots legend Darelle Revis?
There’s no islands there! I mean kitchen and buffet islands sure, but not the water kind!
Oh yeah, the ole half day tomorrow at at the pub by 10:30!
According to my wife the OTA antenna is acting up and NBC isnt coming in. I think it’s trying to spare her the game tomorrow.
Shit. I didn’t eat dinner. Brownies count right?
It’s officially the holidays now. All rules are off from now until 1/1
Cardiologists gots bills too yo.
Here is a fun article about Crows.
https://www.seattlemet.com/articles/2017/5/17/the-secret-life-of-urban-crows
I am reading Yevgeny Zemyatin’s “We” as recommended by Gratliff. Very good so far. Have to get up reasonably early to get the buffalo chili going, though.
Buffalo chili? Intrigued…newsletter.
I too am intrigued with this buffalo chili
As long as Richie Incognito isn’t involved, I’d try it.
Great book. Read it during my dystopic summer.
@Hippo…I am weak. Had to check back in.
8 pt lead with 15 secs to play. These guys might not suck as much as we thought.
Beverly is the wee baby seamus, but quicker, stronger, smarter and a much better outside shot.
Al Freeman is a beast.
Boycott is boycott, fruit of the poisonous tree. I have no interest.
Understood. I’m not happy how all of those things went either, and won’t be for awhile. But these kids were tough tonight. Gotta give ’em credit on this one.
You would have enjoyed it.
Tubby Sean got a little disgruntled and got T’d up late, which pretty much sealed it. LOL.
90-84 final.
Finally home from work so I guess I can take it easy and….
HAH! Fuck off!
Got a pot on the boil to make some dense chicken broth. Going to be makin’ some cornbread an a big ol’ batch of biscuits and this is just the pre-dinner shit.
Let’s get busy up in this motherfucker!
I’m also destroying my kitchen. Just finished shredding up a smoked pork shoulder, The Dame’s got next to make her illegal in 12 states pumpkin cheesecake. It has 2 pounds of full-fat cream cheese in it, fucking ridiculously good.
Spicy cornbread or sweet?
Wife has christmas cookies that sound like they are on par with the illegality of that cheesecake.
Not surprisingly, none of the banning states have legal weed sales.
Does it ship internationally?
Aren’t Canadianan customs a bitch at times? Might have to resort to my trusty trebuchet.
The only thing they don’t let into Canada is inferior weed and Americans who want to stay because they are shriveled little cuck balls.
Yep, have to pay every Christmas when my mother sends stuff from Phoenix. QUIT MARKING IT AS GIFT! WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT! DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE I WORK?? love you Mom.
Sweet. Staying true to Grandmommies dressin’ recipe.
I like both, but the sweet stuff goes best with food, especially anything spicy.
I did the piggy up a little differently this time, pretty happy with the results. I wish I took some pictures, woulda made a good 7th inning stretch Midweek Rations special episode.
I would run through a brick wall for that cheesecake.
Stock is simmering, cornbread is in the oven and I’m going to open a bottle of red. Gotta keep pushing through the biscuit round.
Beats the fuck outta work!
I think I’ve explained the stock thing before. Son-in-law smokes the turkey hence no usable turkey drippings. I’m simmering about 5-6 whole chicken wings with a mire poix, some garlic, thyme, bay leaves and sage. Reduce for about 2-3 hours.
I WILL have my gravy!
Poultry is poultry, potatoes ain’t care!
Soon this beer will be available again and I can giggle at the label.
I prefer my beverages pixilated.
The Dame is into old classic movies. She’s currently watching The Glen Miller Story, not my usual groove but caught myself watching it. Stars a very young Jimmy Stewart and even younger Col. Potter (the voice gave him away). That was some really good music for the day, and Louis Armstrong was truly the shit. Pretty groundbreaking stuff believe it or not.
What a hipster, listening to movies with sound…
AND it’s in Technicolor!
and we thought he wuz cool ,, smh
I think I have an old fedora buried deep in my closet somewhere, will that help?
Quick tie an onion to your belt!
/shouts at cloud.
I found this at a liquor store and I think I’m gonna like it.
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/178/25061/
Which liquor store? Please say a binnys so I can send my brother in law to get some.
Snackin on Ritz crackers. Oh shit these are addicting. Oh god…..
Soooo…what are you…puttin’ on the Ritz?
PUNAH ONNA RIZ!
Mmm. Good cracker!
That was what a former boss used to call me!
(to the dj at the bar) yo do u have any whale sounds
Whale sounds hurt my ears; they are so krill.
Spurs up by 13, they’re really baleen!
This man? Boo him.
Unlike yourself, I have an afFINity for whale sounds.
Him too.
They make me blue.
Scientific research indicates that listening to whale sounds lowers your sperm count.
Nar, whal maybe I suppose.
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
It’s a killer.
I can’t take this anymore. ORCAn I?
Brick will be your pilot.

So the ball goes out of bounds to the Thunder, arena announcer say “Thunder ball,” and I flash to Sean Connery scuba diving in the Caribbean.
Never say that joke, never, again.
Oh don’t oct o pussy like.
Quit acting like the Sky is Falling.
– Christ I really went long on that one…
You’ve earned a quantum of solace.
I’d like to be on HER
secret service, if you know what I mean.
“Did you get that mole looked at by a doctor?”
“No.”
If she walks into a gaming establishment, is it a casino royale?
As I gaze into her goldeneyes, I realize the world is not enough.
OK, settle down, settle down.
You’re all scaring The Living Daylights out of me.
I thought that good jokes, like diamonds, were forever. (Not that the original post was supposed to be a joke or anything).
Am I watching Charlie Brown at work? You’re god damn right I am.

Its not even Thanksgiving yet and I had to stop my mother and sister from having a full-scale argument in front of the whole family.

Nice plan, but I would be the first person the cops go to.
And I can’t go to prison. They would use me a currency.

I went for that one first, but couldn’t find it in “https”.
This is the correct way to perform a sleeper hold. The V part is important because if you just arm bar them across the throat you crush their trachea and kill them like how that fucking idiot NYPD cop murdered Eric Garner.
Stay gold Ponyboy.
@Hippo…Frenchie gotz him a good Taliban Beard this year looks like.
still boycotting the season, but glad the Talibeard Tradition is rebooted
I’ve turned it off actually, but first half we managed to not embarrass ourselves.
Wanted to see Beverly. He might be good eventually.
Among other questions I’m pondering tonight….
Who the hell is Maui Jim Maui?
Is he the guy that made my sunglasses?
Could very well be actually.
My stupid joke was because of the “Maui Jim, Maui Invitational”, because they don’t seem to pause so….never mind.
But yes….
https://www.mauijim.com/
Sounds like the Hawaiian off brand Jim Maura
He sounds like the guy who invented Hawaiian pizza.
So I’ve got Spurs-Pelicans or Thunder-Warriors to flip between. If either or both get out of hand, my new Amazon DVD delivery of John Wick 2, The Raid, The Raid 2, and Kingsman might come into play. I’ve only seen John Wick 2.
My brother started working with a personal trainer and among the group he’s in is Ethan Suplee, the brother from My Name Is Earl. Dude is a fucking beast now.
YOU tell him it’s a schooner, not a sailboat!
I wonder if he’s still Scientologizing.
He is.
but you’re still talking to your brother, so I guess he ain’t Scientologing that goodly ,, smh
Figured Freeney would get picked up by Belichick, as it seems to be his modus operandi. But the Lions beat him to it.
Good: Hermana Weaselo is home.
Better: She brought wine from a reception where she worked yesterday or so.
Better-er: My friend made me belated birthday brownies!
I guess I know what we’re doing tonight!
Brownies! Oh yeA!
Little Debbie or Little Doobie?
To quote Eurotrip, “I had brownies with absolutely NO DRUGS in them.”
Allow me to biased-shill for Mecklenburg and especially Atwater. I would also like to see Everson Walls get in.
Jerry Kramer on the senior circuit. Only one on the line nawt in.
I am wasting my life.
Anyway, I’m psyched to drive two hours each way for a friendsgiving tomorrow. However, it turns out that the trip to Costco was eerily successful – I got a parking spot by the entrance without circling, grabbed a warm pie just being brought to the pie pile, and checked out in a lane with no waiting. Even the food court line (Always get a polish dog or, in this case, a slice of pizza because I can) was short.
On the con side, my battery died and it took forever for the guy to come out (including having to renew AAA, which I forgot) and it turns out the battery’s old enough that it needs to be replaced soon, but I have pie and wine and I ate too much for lunch.
At least batteries are relatively cheap as far as car maintenance goes. Plus pie!
yeah “battery” beats “alternator” any day of the week, especially since ded alternator sometimes means you have to replace battery too, for some reason (I don’t understand cars AT ALL).
That can screw up your starter too.
This is all very good consolation.
Thanksgiving Oh Yea!!!
Would Urlacher’s bust be bald or have hair implants?
Either way it would be displayed next to the dumpster
“adequate white linebacker that made sportswriters cum”
There was a story about Urlacher having sex with Paris Hilton next to a dumpster, rigth? Or was that just a very specific fan-fic that I read?
ah, even better! I enjoy the many layers of symbolism in that.
It could’ve just been my brother when he was thinner.
eh, based on yer stories I would expect your brother to be doing better than that
I think he feels sorry for Paris, though.
Dude’s been bald since high school so the bust should be run through the Shine-O Ball-O.
