World Gawne Mad – Finishing Off the Flacco Eight (Stormy Style?)

Yes, the only good thing about the late match is the thought of Jim Assdick Nantz being forced to hype that 60 Minutes interview.  Hee hee.

#3(E) Texas Tech (+6.5, +250) v. #1(E) Villanova (2:20, CBS)

Woo-hoo, I got my $40 in on Guns Up!! at +260, don’t be too jelly.  Our last non-Loyola non-asshole participant has won over DFO hearts with their free wheeling style of play, and by beating Purdue.  That is no small beer, mind.  Villanova will become the 2nd non-asshole by default after they win by 20.  SIGH.

#2(MW) Duke v. #1(MW) Kansas (+3, +135) (5:05, CBS)

Ah, the Jim Nantz wet dream bracket, where the ruffians know their place.  Fuck him, fuck these teams, fuck their fanbases.  I have a book to read.

Summer breeze anal fresh.

“These teenagers think their shit doesn’t stink!”

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I *almost* posted that video, but didn’t want that fucking song in me brainpan.

Croooow

Sunday night is getting worse. Duke-Kansas is going to OT.

It’s DJ Meow Mix!

Horatio Cornblower

And now I’ve turned on ESPN and they’re showing something about a former college basketball player dead at 25 from cancer.

The only way this Sunday night is going to get any worse is if Stormy Daniels goes on 60 Minutes to say that not only does Trump have a 10″ dick, he can use it like no man she’s ever been with and she’s never gotten over him.

SonOfSpam

I think the odds that Trump has a huge cock are roughly the same as whether he’s a genius.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So basically he’s personally convinced that he does.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

If she said that we’d know she likes to do LSD while on TV.

Horatio Cornblower

Just got home from the gym. My daughter’s “not boyfriend” is over and the car he parked in my driveway has a ‘Trump/Pence’ bumper sticker on it.

I’m gonna need some you to come over with some lime and shovels. Leave your curiosity at home.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s his parents’ car though, right? Right?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If not, go ahead and give him shit for being a young white male conservative. He’s gonna feel persecuted either way, might as well ground it in reality.

Horatio Cornblower

I believe it is the parents’ car.

The good news is that my daughter, having been raised correctly, loathes Trump and hates Pence more, so this could get interesting.

Senor Weaselo

Will there be rivebrogging this interaction?

SonOfSpam

I haven’t been part of an angry mob in a while. It’ll be nice.

Unsurprised

Kill me.

See the cheerleader on the left in the banner pic?

Pharmacy school.

Bet on it (and some of you will)

ballsofsteelandfury

Hippo wants to know if he can ML her…

herodotus450

Cheerleader? Don’t bet against the spread.

Horatio Cornblower

“Bet on it (and some of you will)”

And just like that, DFO had its mission statement.

Game Time Decision

Holy Photoshopping in that photo. I get that almost everything we see is now touched but is this one seems really bad to me

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Except for the one on the left; she slept in a Best Western.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t say that new Hader show looks particularly compelling (that role was already played to perfection by Jason Priestley in “Cold Blooded”) but if there’s one thing HBO has, it’s credibility.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The reason I won’t see the Survivor twist coming is because I won’t be watching that tired-ass show.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Do freshmen score more if Mother is at the game?”

Mike Pence does.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I have to drive up to Modesto tomorrow, then Clovis the next day. This is not an appealing trip.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Can you think of a better name for a town where cows probably outnumber people than “Clovis”? I can’t.

litre_cola

Indianapolis.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

But there aren’t that many…oh! Well played.

yeah right

What, no Hayward?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yep. No Stockton, either.

SonOfSpam

Ew. Which god did you anger?

litre_cola

Hello commentists. 50 bucks in Rock chalk, lesser of 2 evils.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It sure would be nice for Duke to get hit with an academic scandal.

Unsurprised

Is everyone napping? I should.

Oh, Jesus Christ. It’s past 2pm already. Well, I wasted my life.

Eh, it is better than Papa John’s.

Unsurprised

So is diarrhea.

Senor Weaselo

Is the diarrhea you get from eating Papa John’s better than Papa John’s? Discuss!

Oh shit. Just remembered tonight is the NJPW USA special on Axs. Golden Lovers vs. Young Bucks is going to be amazing.

I need to go out for a walk. View the scenery. I don’t think it’s quite as shitty outside as it has been.

60 Minutes-

“Stormy Daniels ends her silence-if you conveniently forget about all the things she’s said recently. No, we’re not Fox News. Not yet.

herodotus450

“Stormy Daniels ends her silence. Oh wait, that was just me unmuting the volume.”

blaxabbath

I’m prepared for this to be nothing more than another string along.

Unsurprised

The last time they had a scoop on a President it was so fake it got Dan Rather fired.

blaxabbath

It’s like, “Here’s a CD! It’s proof!”

LITERALLY ANYTHING could be on that CD.

Senor Weaselo

Definitely not a Stormy Daniels film!

scotchnaut

Does anyone have food? I hungry.

Unsurprised

Just oatmeal.

yeah right

I do but I can’t tell you what it is until next week.

Who the hell is Jason Cipolla?

All of a sudden he’s at 2-over.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So here’s my explanation of cricket in the context of baseball. Thoughts? Questions?

As a batter, you can only get out once. You can get out if the pitcher (bowler) successfully throws a strike past you (hit the wickets), you get hit by a pitch that *would* have been a strike (leg before wicket), you fly out, or someone tags the base (wicket) before you get to safety (i.e. change places with the other runner).

In a one-day test there are a total of 300 pitches (50 “overs” of six pitches each) for each team to potentially swing at. If all but one of your batters get out before that, you’re done.

You can score runs by running the bases (switching places with your fellow batsman), hitting a ground rule double (rolls/bounces over the boundary for 4 runs), or hitting a home run (flies over the boundary for 6 runs). You can also score or get extra pitches if the pitcher (bowler) throws WAY out of the strike zone or commits another violation (i.e. balk type things).

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck Cricket.

Sorry, that might not have been the thought you were looking for.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Nobody who had ever gotten fall-down drunk at a cricket match and then made out with a French girl would ever say that.

herodotus450

But where does [insert British stereotype here] come in to play?

ballsofsteelandfury

I’d say that’s pretty spot on.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Goddamn, it took less than 24 hours for the goodwill I developed for Jim Parsons (for doing voice work on Marlon Bundo) to evaporate.

Unsurprised

You’ll always have that wasted time.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Whew….I was very afraid Jay Wright might bite Allie and turn her into one of the undead like himself.

Dirty bastard.

Unsurprised

*Ahem*

Very disappointed vagina. Hence the hands on the hips.

theeWeeBabySeamus

His aim was off by about two inches.
You’d be disappoint too.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Does this qualify as a “reverse shocker”?

scotchnaut

You’ve GOT to go see them live. His guitar work is mind-boggling but what he asks of his drummer is equally demanding.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Why?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehehe. Fair enough I guess.

But I kinda think it makes one interesting if they carry cinnamon around. For whatever reason.

Senor Weaselo

You mean you don’t just chug cinnamon? Pfft, amateur.

scotchnaut

Boeheim did almost the very same thing with John Wallace in a game vs. Georgia that went into overtime in the ’96 tourney. I thought he was insane.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup.

Now we all gotta go team ‘Nova.

theeWeeBabySeamus

As with all things, depends on the individual.

Drexler was a badass mofo.

Gratliff

FLYERA TIE WITH AN EXTRA MAN AND 50 s TO GO

theeWeeBabySeamus

BJ Anya would like a word with you.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Avie Lester is holding on line 2 also.

scotchnaut

Say what you want about Boeheim-he believes the very same thing.

theeWeeBabySeamus

The spirit of Bobby Knight has apparently returned to Lubbock.
What????? Really??????

OH COME ON HE’S GOTTA BE DEAD!!!!!!!

Unsurprised

His MAGA hat is keeping him alive.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was watching the Women’s Tourney earlier.
I must say, Rebecca Lobo is a very handsome man.

theeWeeBabySeamus

They lost in sweet 16 to 1 seed Miss State on Friday night.
Nothing to be ashamed of.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Tough, but fair.

But I think Wes did more this year with what he had to work with than Keatts actually.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ouch.

ballsofsteelandfury

That Maria girl next to her is quite fetching…

theeWeeBabySeamus

You ain’t wrong.

WHAT DID I JUST SAY??????

Fuckin’ Crosby man

scotchnaut

I’m guessing you’ve got no choice but to indulge?

theeWeeBabySeamus

@Hippo….Currently +270…I was holding out for +275, but screw it.

Gratliff

So if you’re Philly, Columbus, and Pittsburgh, do you vie for the 1st wildcard for that sweet, sweet playoff bye?

Croooow

First game: Texas Tech
Second game: Meteor

/still watching Dirty Dozen

The first women showed up only 1 hour and 11 minutes into the film. They be prostitutes.

Horatio Cornblower

Telly Savalas ain’t gonna like that.

scotchnaut

What book?

scotchnaut

Brunner is odd. He knocked 2 books out of the park and wrote a whole bunch of mediocre shit as well.DO NOT read The Stardroppers.

scotchnaut

I guess Zanzibar. The remarkable thing about him is he was a bit of a hack until he came across an experimental writer (can’t remember) and Marshall McLuhan. His progression as a author…I really can’t think of anyone else to compare him to in any genre that I’ve read.
