Your “Huh – Actual Students Came To School” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

  • As predicted/feared, Rae Carruth is seeking custody of his son.
    • The physically-challenged son, because he was a premie, because his father hired some men to kill his mother so he wouldn’t be born.
      • I can’t wait for the “Movie of the Week”.
  • Baker Mayfield has announced he will not attend the NFL Draft in Arlington.
    • Because why show your appreciation at being drafted to a tire fire LIVE on TV.

   

It’s gone so well before.

  • Today marks the opening of the Franchise & Transition Tag window.
    • In an unrelated event, Kirk Cousins has had his phone turned off all day.
  • In phrasing that doesn’t remind of Hank Scorpio or Ernst Blofeld, nfl.com names a frontrunner to buy the Panthers.
    • It’s “Billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist David Tepper”, because those are usually two great things that go great together.
    • To further elaborate, “Tepper, whose net worth has been estimated at $11 billion by Forbes, currently owns a five percent stake in the Steelers.”
      • so it looks like he’s willing to up his game, like Jimmy Haslam.

Senor Weaselo

The following is a transcript of a scene from Senor’s gig tonight:

Boy, maybe about 9 or 10: Is that a violin?
Senor (as we’re coming off a break): Yeah.
Boy: Do you mind if I play it?
Senor: Yes. Yes I do mind.
Boy: Why? I know how to play.
Senor: Then you’d know why I mind.
Violist: Because it’s very expensive and important.
Boy: Do you mind if I play your viola?
Violist: Yes.
Boy: Why?
Violist: Same reason.
Boy (back to me): Can I hold it?
Senor: Still no.
Boy: Well can you make some noise with it?
Senor: We were just about to do that!

And then he tried to turn a page while I was playing Maple Leaf Rag, but I was smart and saw him leaning on my stand so I leaned with my scroll and shut him the fuck down. I am also glad the violist jumped in when he did because I was trying to edit the phrase I would have said, “Because I don’t know you, and I don’t trust you, and if you break him I will fucking end you and wear your hide as a goddamn pelt, you little shit, now get the fuck away from me.” The rest of the kids at this engagement party were nice, and listened and did not touch. So good for you, other kids!

Shoulda poked him in the eye with the bow.

Brocky

….your violin is a he?

I just say that as such a sexy instrument is typically regarded as a smoldering temptress.

Senor Weaselo

I’m the first owner, and he had a very brash sound at the beginning. It was like taming a horse, which led to the name Hidalgo, whether the actual horse actually existed or not.

Brick Meathook

I think it’d be cool if a symphony orchestra finished one of those big Beethoven songs and smashed all their instruments like The Who.

Brocky

this story is more touching than any relationship I’ve had over the last five years. my hat’s off to you sir

Senor Weaselo

Oh, and also I was 13 when I got him. So, it’s been half a lifetime.

For the record, Gary Bettman is also a national disgrace.

I have that book. Still haven’t actually read it, but I have it.

People write way too much goddamn exposition and narration, and it almost never helps. Like he said, Atwood can paint a picture with words; most just rub finger paints in your eyes. This is where the GoT series is better than the ASOIAF novels because I don’t give a shit about the thousands of years of backstory. Funny enough, the one place where GRRM does this correctly is how he glosses over depictions of battles. The series’s excuse for the first several seasons was money, but also it doesn’t fucking matter. Donald Westlake’s novel The Hunter, which has been adapted into half a dozen movies – Lee Marvin in Point Blank, Mel Gibson in Payback – and inspired countless imitators spent more words on the protagonist making a fake ID (in the 50s) than in how he kills a dozen men in a railyard. One

Romonobyl

My wife is an intelligent woman, her taste in men notwithstanding, but hasn’t grasped the concept of the rhetorical question. She recently asked me why the French skater didn’t open with a triple jump which is apparently required, then stared at me waiting for an answer.

WCS

1-1 end of first

Sharkbait

Bad penalty to take at the end of the period.

Every time one of these figure skaters wipes out I swear I hear my ankles screaming.

She certainly speaks better English than that guy in the White House, who would like for her to migrate here so he could sexually harass her.
