World Gawne Mad – Sunday Afternoon Round of 32 Open Thread

I don’t really have the stomach for this after what happened with Houston (the closest I had to a rooting interest), but fuck it, a responsibility is what it is.

#10(E) Butler (+3.5, +145) v. #2(E) Purdue (12:10, CBS)

Suspiciously low line due to the broken right elbow of the Boilers’ better Nazi fuck centers.  He is apparently trying to have his brace cleared for combat, and to play through it.  We shall see.

#11(MW) Syracuse (+9, +380) v. #3(MW) Michigan State (2:40, CBS)

Boy howdy, this ought to be a fucking Rembrandt.  Thank God this is a national game with no channel flipping options!

#7(W) Texas A&M (+6, +225) v. #2(W) U*NC (5:10, CBS)

You have no idea how much I wish this was a JV NFL contest.  As it is not, your humble scribe has no idea how the line is only 6 in favour of the evil assholes with the bye to the Sweet Sixteen.

#7(S) Nevada (+8, +325) v. #2(S) Cincinnati (6:10, TNT)

Nevada came back from 14 down to defeat Texas.  Nevada will likely found themselves down 14 again this evening.  And keep digging.

I have a lot of time to kill on this flight, so I’m giving Justice League a shot. I look forward to bitching about the results of my own terrible decision later.

LemonJello

Kingsman: The Golden Circle won over Justice League for House LemonJello movie night last night. I feel like this was a good choice.

Looking at the ole betting site and Northern Colorado plays against Drake? He bought a university? Or is it 5 on 1?

Damn good thing I didn’t have to play against Drake. They would have singed my beard.

Hey Hippo…NCS Baseball is an inning and a half away from sweeping Clemson at Clemson.
This makes me happy.
If it happens, they could jump close to top 10 next week.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I thought I had a real shot at finishing last in the Brackets now, btw.
But I don’t think I can catch blax.

Prolly…Butler has 1.6 to go full length and try a 3 to tie.

They got all the way back more or less, then Purdue woke up again. I was hoping the fatigue factor would prevent that. Oh well.

Do you have a baseball bat and glove on your back seat just in case ‘something happens’ and you need plausible deniability? The Masters, coming soon

theeWeeBabySeamus

When they went down 10, I just put $50 on Butler live ML (+600) . Just a feeling.

theeWeeBabySeamus

If I hit on all of today’s action, I’ll have had a $3k+ weekend. Of course that’s unlikely.

Even if I miss on all of today’s action, I still walk away from teh weekend with approx $1k of the house’s dough.

LemonJello

Not too shabby for a guy that “cashed out” and “wasn’t betting any more” until “next season.”

Liar.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL. The first part really did happen. But then I had a feeling about KState and went with it. Meh…I’m weak.

scotchnaut

“Liar”

Also applicable to this girl when she insists ‘they’re real’.

and when she says, “Be gentle, I’ve never done anything like this before…”

Best line from that movie occurs when she bumps her noggin and a guy asks, “how’s your head?” and she responds, “nobody has complained yet”. Fourteen year-old me thought that was brilliant.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I liked that one too, also the one on the movie marquee.

scotchnaut

14 year-old me couldn’t understand how her cleavage worked so there was that as well.

yeah right

I’m in a tourney pool with a bunch of folks who work at UCLA, the payout is about 800 bucks and I’ve still got – potentially – 14 of the sweet 16 alive in my bracket, including Loyola. I’ve got a real shot at this.

Wrap it up

scotchnaut

Me: “Hey son, you want I should cook a prime rib roast tonight?”

Him: ‘Sounds great.”

Me: [goes to both (all two of them!) grocery stores in town and there’s not a single one between them]

I. Hate. This. Fucking. Small. Town.

herodotus450

Just cut up a regular rib until you can’t divide it by 2 anymore. Then it’s prime.
/Just go with it

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehe…that was good.

you can buy just the sleepytime ingredient on it’s own in pill form, much cheaper, brand name Unisom or generic equivalent. Just look for Doxylamine on the package.

If Allie LaForce was an Italian super car her name would be Force LaForce

Such a car’s engine output would no doubt be measured in Forcepower.

She describes the reliability of her inside scoops by assigning them a value in Sourcepower.

In Spanish, her name translates to Allie The Force.
