Santa is still slacking off in most ways I see….
Can’t blame him, though. He’s got a big day tomorrow. He deserves a little relaxation today.
But at least he gave us the early gift of not just one, but TWO Saturday Varsity Footy match ups today/tonight.
Earlier today, my Ratbirds shamed/got shamed by the Clots making it that much more likely/less likely for the Dirty Birds to make the playoffs. Add in the fact that I hate the Clots (see the JJ Fozz rule…and fuck the Irsays as usual), tonight I will be in a great/shitty mood.
Why no, this post wasn’t written before that game even began…why do you ask?

Minnesota @ Green Bay (+9.0, o/u 41.0)
It’s gonna be cold in Green Bay. Damned cold. A high today of 20°F is expected to drop to single digits by kickoff, possibly even subzero before it’s over. I’ll never complain about winter in the south again. Ah who am I kidding….yes I will. But what’s the o/u on drunk Packers fans taking off their shirts to get on TV during this one I wonder? You know there’s gonna be a few, at least.
On the Frozen Tundra itself, the game might not be what we’d have expected even as recently as last week.
Having lost to Carolina last week, Green Bay’s playoff chances took the proverbial dagger. And thus, Aaron Rodgers has once again been shelved. Brett Hundley hasn’t been the most stellar backup at times, even with Davante Adams cleaning up the mess. But there will be no Davante Adams either in this one because Thomas Davis is an asshole. Defensively Green Bay is, well….Green Bay.
For the Vikings, Keenum to Thielen (and Rudolph and Diggs and McKinnon) has worked pretty well thus far. But some folks think the cold might affect that in this one. And maybe it will, I suppose. But even if it does, I expect Latavius Murray can pick up the slack on the ground enough that Minnesota’s top shelf defense can do the rest.
So again…who wants it more?
Green Bay has nothing to play for but pride, and we’ve seen how well that’s worked out in Rodgers’ absence. Minnesota on the other hand has clinched the division, but still needs the win to inch closer to that first round bye.
Will home field (and the cold) in Green Bay matter? Maybe in the spread, but probably not. And almost definitely not in the final outcome of this one I don’t believe. Minnesota is clearly the superior team on both sides of the ball, and I suspect they take care of business tonight.
Prediction: Vikings 24, Packers 13
Now have at it in the comments!!!!!!

FTR: Viking fans are going (or not) home at a 4:1 clip. Depending on the charge(s) that’s 285-1250 opening salvo.

Hermana Weaselo is home. Her cat is busy making mischief. She’s… not the most bright feline in the box o’ kittens. Because she’s a black cat. Also she’s not the brightest cat. And somehow has managed to get a shit-ton of parasites. We’re not exactly sure how.
Cat racist.
And when I read that first line the first time I read it as “car” and thought…
Holy shit, not again!!!!!
I have seen the new car. I have not been inside it, but she wants to drive for Christmas.
HAI GUYS. how are you?
waiting for Amazon to deliver.
Hopefully not this way.
Pull!
Not drunk enough to tell yet.

The dog stole the scene, even though that probably wasn’t scripted.
As I understand it, it wasn’t scripted to go as far as it did.
i read the original ending was a judge calling Farley fat and gross but lorne michaels wouldn’t allow it.

Kinda defeats the whole point of the sketch then, doesn’t it?
yep
a’ight, I really need Jerick McKinnon here
story of my life!
Mike McCarthy is a very stupid man.
Just cleared out phase one of the family, (broken homes are awesome), with my wife making corned beef and cabbage, because it’s my family, we’re Irish, and if it’s the holidays we are going to boil the fuck out of everything.
Beers consumed this evening: Treehouse Green (2), Treehouse’s new stout SSIW(etc.), (1), (goes for $75 a can on the internet), Headway Counterweight (1), Sierra Nevada Celebration (2), Thomas Hooker No-Filter (4), Alchemist Pappy’s Porter (1). Also a bottle of red wine was sent to Valhalla.
Beers split among four adult males and one adult female, so no, I am not throwing up on myself. More importantly, for the first time in forever, I have nothing to do and nowhere to be on Xmas Eve and IT WILL BE GLORIOUS!!!!
Well, look who’s fancy.
But ProTip…never down a Hooker with a filter.
That would have been funnier without the typo.
*without a filter.
Hooker Brewery is named after Thomas Hooker, the founder of CT or some such nonsense. Their brewery is filled with merchandise centered on terrible puns about prostitution but No-Filter is an outstanding beer.
The $75-a-can beer came from my brother, who was given it by his Secret Santa, who clearly does not have the internet and had no idea what beer nerds were willing to pay for a can. That said, it is delicious. Here’s a picture that someone else took…
I like my beer like I like my women…
Dark and bitter.
How come you taste so good?
I should get a six-pack of that.
I think there was a 2 or 3 can pp limit at the brewery the one and only time they made it. I’ve had it a couple of times thanks to some very generous friends. it is outstanding.
That said if someone wants to hand me $75 for a can of beer I would hand it over without a second thought.
Oh, I meant Lagunitas Brown Shugga.

One of the best SNL bits of all time. GOAT is, of course, Farley and Patrick Swayze trying out for Chippendale’s.
And pretty much anything Phil Hartman was in. The guy bled teh funny, died (murdered) waaay too young.
Really, he bled a lot of things. Namely, blood.
my buzz is wearing off after buying a monitor. Get shit faced tonight or wait till tomorrow?
yes
remember, Jesus turned water into wine because he gets bored by squares

This might be my favorite book ever. The chapter about the wedding at Cana has Jesus turning water to wine so he can get drunker because he’s in love with Mary Magdalene but knows he can’t have her is both hilarious and heartbreaking. And it explains why there are bunnies at Easter!
It’s almost tomorrow already. Start now and just keep going.
Shit. I was about to get booze but my oven clock just went off.
Finally a nice, cold night.
I can never understand how some dick can flick a cigarette butt out of his car window and burn down half of California, but I can’t even keep my fireplace lit with a gallon of kerosene and a blowtorch.
Because California is as dry as my dick.

C’mon Green Bay. I’ve gone an entire season without making a single Aaron Rodgers joke. You owe me this.
Aaron Rodgers joke? Joking about all the pussy the guy crushes? Seems like something you would brag about.
Not only did Happy Appy cash the moneyline, they shut the Rust Belt fuckers out! I should get bonus!

How is “Crunk on Christmas” NOT a song yet?
it’s quite the lifestyle choice, tho

Shit. I ended up sleeping through the entire afternoon.
Well done. Now, start drinking to make up for the time you missed.
Oh, come on. That means I have to leave the house.
Yes.
Oh hey. The Flyers lost another shootout. They are impossibly bad at shootouts. They’ve been a generally pretty good team since the shootout was implemented, and yet they only win about 35% of their shootouts. It makes my brain hurt.
i ordered an Asus 24″ with HDMI, DP and DVI -$180. My work dock only has one port of each. No 4k yet, those started at $500. Fuck that.
This reminds me that 4K TVs are cheap enough that I could justify buying one and gifting my not too old HD TV to my parents who still have a giant fucking tube TV in their living room.
Monoprice has a 27 inch 4k monitor for $250.
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=27771
it doesn’t have DVI.
If I remember correctly, DVI will not work for 4k. Can’t handle the amount of data at thespeed required.
can you be my IT guy?
Nope, the wife and family are already enough for me to consider a self lobotomy.
Will you be able to provide an IP router that’s compatible with my token ring ethernet LAN configuration?
I’m sorry. I’m only trained in Apple Talk.
i need to setup my VPN again, please help.
Gratliff may be better than I for that. I ca handle basic stuff esp audio visual set ups. I used to love talking my mom through getting my dad’s stereo system set back up because he would undo all the components when the system would not work like he wanted.
Have you tried downloading more RAM?
This is correct. DVI is equal to HDMI for 1080p, but HDMI is pushed because you can do DRM bullshit over HDMI, but DVI can’t do any higher res, so it’s going to be going obsolete here shortly.
Anyone watch the pregame show story about Texans(?) QB Deshaun Watson? Gotta admit, that is one squared-away dude. Too bad he can’t start for a team that exists.
Even as positive the story you could feel PK rationalizing his feeling of superiority.
Yeah, I really wish they found someone else to do the interview, like Dick Enberg.
What?
The Dame approves.
All the current shitty football makes me regret not watching more average “football” (soccer) earlier. What have I done?
my LG monitors are old. i can only find a match on Ebay. I’ll have to mismatch.
Monitorsonly.com?
Well done.
Perhaps, Cris, Hundley can sense the vibe in Lambeau that he is not gritty enough to QB the team.
Considering half the county worked on the stadium…and they’re here on comp…your call was…ill-advised.
have they shown any fans in the stands in bikinis yet?
I have seen them. With my eyes. Some ok, some actually well alright now, some oh my Clorox NOW! Sadly, none my clients or related.
I saw the bump and overhead shot where they showed the wavepool or whatever they built next to Lambeau recently and it reminded me not of alcohol-infused Wisconsin women hemorrhaging heat but the fact there’s absolutely dick to do in the immediate vicinity of that stadium.
God, Green Bay sucks.
That’s a sledding hill for dickhead Chicagoans. So far, result achieved.
Hey now. The downtown area of Green Bay is at least kinda quaint. It would benefit from having the stadium right down on the bay. I have no idea why it’s built on the city’s edge.
Because 60 some years ago there was nothing at that site, so it could handle the space. Also City Stadium could NEVER have handled such an expansion. River on one side would SEVERELY cramp seating. My home/hood would likely LITERALLY be a parking lot.
Aww. That’s a shame. But that’s long enough ago that stadiums were just plopped on giant cheap plots of land because downtowns weren’t considered places to go.
just for the love of God not near teh black ppl!!!111
I forget if it was in a WYTS or not, but it was a story about how a bunch of Packers fans at some Wisconsin Applebee’s thought some random black guy was Donald Driver.
It was in this year’s WYTS.
That’s weekly as long as you’re taking care of yourself.
We din haz them til 80’s. NO ONE ADMITS THIS!
All right, got family arriving soon so I gotta sign off. Good evening, all!

fuck my second monitor is dead. Now am one 24 inch monitor like a primate.

Sir, this is not something to be taken lightly. I wouldn’t even know how to Online without a monitor dedicated to either Tweetdeck or Netflix, depending on whether I’m working or working while watching Netflix.
am on Amazon right now trying to find a matching replacement
I did not do the smart thing and buy two of the same at the same time. I now have an anatomy textbook under the shorter one to make them even like a fucking Amish.

32″ screen or two 24″s depending on your porn tastes and wanking style. ppl forget that.
I don’t want to brag, but I have three monitors, including a widescreen and one that is vertically oriented. The local newspaper is even doing a story on me due to the drain bamageness.
imagine going to two monitors and then you may see my frustration.
My setup at work is three flatscreens – I’d have four, but there’s not enough desk space for another. Makes life so much easier to not be switching between windows all the time (esp. since SPSS pretty much takes up all three for most of the day).
I’d like to ask for a third screen, but since no one else has a third I don’t think I’d be able to get it.
Yeah – the only reason I have more than two is that I keep anything that hasn’t died yet. So, I always have a surplus mismatched screen or two. No way I could afford three new ones on my tiny budget.
I had a Korean scientist that ran 5 monitors, 2 off the laptop dock, 3 off USB 3.0-Display Port adapters. He literally would run an excel spreadsheet that would wrap across all 5 monitors. It made me nauseous even looking at it.
I’d go for that – three for SPSS (one each for data window, output window, and script window), one for Excel, and one for Outlook/Word/web/whatever that could also get overlapped with the Excel workbook when I had to stretch it out (or the SPSS data window ditto). That’s getting into circular-desk territory, though, and I don’t have space for that, alas.
I’ve found three to be overkill for the most part, except when I’m going nuts doing scripting work. It’s nice having a third monitor with a vertical taskbar loaded with shortcuts to powershell scripts. I’m pretty well set in my “One RDP, One All Other Shit” setup.
I’ve met one (1) person who uses a vertical monitor in a practical professional way. He was an old ex-Soviet guy who moved to the states and became a welding doctor, which is apparently a thing. The vertical monitor was nothing but calculations that I guess had something to do with welding? When I explained to him that the circle on the lid of his laptop was a webcam, he put a red post it on it with a hand drawn hammer and sickle. Fascinating old dude.
I’m still trying to figure out “welding doctor”.
Right? It was a Lithium-ion battery factory, that also made the control systems for vehicles and such, and he used to just stare at these super magnified images of the weld jobs that were being done before calling over his assistant type guy who routinely looked disappointed at whatever Soviet Welder Guy was telling him. As IT, working in that place was fascinating, if needlessly stressful.
I assume it’s someone who goes to a site and fixes someone else’s welding fuck-up.
Basically, but it was in-house

So this isn’t urgent, but it’s something our DFO Overlord should know about. The password reset links don’t work and when I click the password change option I get a 404 alert.
He doesn’t want you to change them now that he finally has them all memorized.
I can’t memorize the stupid password I use for this site, so I don’t know he can.
