Your Funday Sunday Evening Open Thread

It’s a nice time of year up in Vancouver. It’s not exactly sunny all the time, but it occasionally does stop raining. The proximity of the local ski hills means that after they are closed, I can drive up to the base & take the dogs along the trails for long hikes on a solid 200cm snowpack that will last deep into May. Being Bernese Mountain Dogs, they go quite bonkers in the snow.

Their poop can be flung deep into the woods. It beats leashing them, bagging that & walking through the city.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • Preds at Avs – 7:00PM | NBCSN / Sportsnet (Game 6; Preds lead 3-2)
  • NBA:
    • Raptors at Wizards – 6:00PM | TNT / Sportsnet1 (Game 4; Raptors lead 2-1)
    • Cavs at Pacers – 8:30PM | TNT / TSN (Game 4; Pacers lead 2-1)
  • MLB:
    • Nationals at Dodgers – 8:00PM | ESPN / TSN3
  • MLS:
    • Portland Timbers vs. New York City FC – 6:00PM | FS1 / TSN2

Don’t forget – the NFL Draft is LIVE! Thursday night from Jerryworld. I’ll be setting the table all week, and then (probably) Hippo will have your Draft-night shenanigans. ARE YOU READY?!

Why, when half of the moon is lit up, is it called a first quarter moon?

Yes, I know the real answer, but I think it’s stupid. If I can see half the moon, it should be called a half a fuckin’ moon goddammit!!!!

This has been your tWBS on astronomy moment. Tomorrow: Black Holes.

Who do THOSE fuckers think they are???????????????????????

theeWeeBabySeamus

Stupid Sexy Black Holes, with your gravity and your time warping and your gravitational lensing.

Senor Weaselo

Did you say Time Warp?

This Pacers-LeBron game is surprisingly entertaining.

Mr. Ayo

Why, is LeBron losing?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

At the moment, yes.

Mr. Ayo

That does sound fun!

Senor Weaselo

Weren’t the Cavs up by a bunch?

blaxabbath

I’ve been snacking on pork loin all day and now I don’t want it for dinner.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Tenderloin or regular loin?

blaxabbath

It was cheap so probably not tender.

JerBear50

How’d it come out? Loin is kind of a lean cut for the smoker. Would make for a lot easier slicing though I’d think.

blaxabbath

I’m not a big pork cooker so I’m reserving judgement. I’ll say it was moister than my chops.

So one of the interesting things about Avenatti is that he seems to know a lot more about the Hannity situation than the average joe. This actually isn’t surprising, because if you were, say, stuck in an NDA with Hannity that you wanted to get out of, who is the first lawyer *you* would call for a consultation?

blaxabbath

I don’t know. He’s quite the blowhard and *predicting* all these crooks are into some shady stuff isn’t exactly a premonition.

Then again, the newscasters reporting on any of this know less than anybody so it’s no wonder that they look at Avenatti with the same skepticism as those loons with their revised Mayan calendars predicting the end of the world.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

He’s incredibly good at self-promotion. But he was calling back in the beginning of the month (before the FBI raid) that Cohen was being set up to be the fall guy and wouldn’t be able to stand the pressure, and that’s definitely proven to become a burning question now.

blaxabbath

I don’t know if I agree necessarily. I felt like Cohen was where all signs pointed because everyone thought his JD made him untouchable. I think they never expected Cohen to fall (kind of the plan they seem to have for Gulliani) but, as with everyone else that the Feds have dead to rights (less Manafort; though Flynn sure seems pretty comfortable for being a General-turned-Traitor), of course they’re going to distance themselves from him.

You might be right though. I’ll believe Cohen is gonna flip when I see it though.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

At any rate, it’s an interesting way to split up the case – now Trump (assuming he did anything illegal with Cohen) is fighting on two fronts – SDNY and Mueller.

JerBear50

Fall guy, huh?

Well I’m not the kind to kiss and tell
But I may have paid off Stormy

Fans in Colorado: “Subban sucks! Subban sucks!”

I’ve always referred to, “Hey [player number or name]! You! Suuuuuuuck!” as The People’s Burn.

I’m still partial to “J.D. Drew is a horse’s ass” myself.

“Potvin sucks.”
The man retired 30 years ago.

yeah right

Rangers fans never forget.

Senor Weaselo

Just a guess, down 5-0 with 3 minutes left and 3-2 in the series, Colorado’s not going to come back and win this series.

WCS

I’m late, but, don’t care: BYE, PHILACIA

Philly’s run of national championships is over, I tell you!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh yay. Caps might get to lose the Pens again.

Senor Weaselo

They could still flip the script! …And lose to the Blue Jackets!

Preferably after Games 6 and 7 both go at least four overtimes.

Oh big time yes on that. That’s ONLY reason I said “might”. If they get past Columbus, they’re dead in the second round again I suspect.

blaxabbath

Christ Hannity.

Just leave one trailer on the big island with a bit of land — that’s all I need to retire.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

His real estate holdings would be of little interest – even to some as easily outraged as me – except that it shows that he’s already GOT a real estate lawyer. So why the fuck is he talking to Cohen?

blaxabbath

If I were a populist politician, I’d run on real incentives for individual property ownership. Fuck these $6k credits or interest deductions; I’d create US ownership zones. Why the fuck should Americans only be able to afford homes in shitty red states? There is no reason any foreigner (who doesn’t reside here on some sort of visa) needs to own US real estate. They can pay a tax on their holdings that would go to moving Americans into homes.

Seriously, how fucking ridiculous is it that you work in a local economy but have to look for a house in a global market? This ain’t corn. This ain’t lobster. This is housing in your own community — id subsidize the fuck out of that and I’d do it on the back of Saudi princes and the fucking investors who should have had their earned interest income loophole closed (as Trump promised) but for that they loaned Kushner Co hundreds of millions of dollars.

Shower beer koozy?

Nice of them to put the entirety of season 1 in the “Previously On” sequence

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m sure you’ve all been waiting to hear…

My male duck showed back up tonight. But he had a guilty look on his face and wouldn’t look the female in the eye, so I presume he got drunk and ended up passing out at the whorehouse last night.

Much like many of you.

yeah right

I took an uber home from the whorehouse thank you very much.

Horatio Cornblower

I just married the madam 23 years ago and never looked back.

Senor Weaselo

Knowing the little I do about duck biology, there’s definitely a “someone’s about to be screwed” joke to make here.

theeWeeBabySeamus

When he got the whorehouse, he told them to put it on his bill.

(that’s two jokes in one, btw)

Horatio Cornblower

When I was walking my dog today we were in the woods near a pond and a pair of mallards were swimming by and I swear on my kids I thought “I wonder if tWBS’s duck came back yet.”

litre_cola

Well this hockey game is done. Nashville Winnipeg it is.

litre_cola

I pray that it ends up Winnipeg San Jose, Kane come back to the Peg.

Gratliff

Oh shit. Westworld is on tonight.

King Hippo

Name one person more excite than Hippo YOU CAN’T!!

good al-kee-HAWL selections too, including single cans and bottles.

Really would like a game 7. Enstrom is skating now which means he is close.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I said the same thing when Eric Decker got traded.

Senor Weaselo

Well I’m still not on fire.

litre_cola

So a naked dude shot up a waffle house? Is nothing sacred?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Kind of interested to see how the gun-strokers spin this one, because the hero who wrested the gun away was a black guy who didn’t have his own gun.

rockingdog

cool!

found a funny:
[pushing my son in his stroller]

Stranger: awww aren’t you adorable! how old are you?

Me: 35

Stranger: I was talking to him

Me: He doesn’t know how old I am.

oh yeah, I am glad to draft night host, chuh chuh

You misspelled goaltending, defense, depth, and coaching.

that was like watching a rec league game at the mall

The Draft? That means the season is only 4 months away!!!

Horatio Cornblower

Lambeau really needs to work on his sprawl defense. Riga’s scoring takedowns at will.

BEERGUYROB: Sweep the leg, Riga.

RIGA: [stares at him]

BEERGUYROB: Do you have a problem with that?

RIGA: Bark!
