So what’s happening? Was everybody up late celebrating the Warriors managing to pull off their eighth victory in nine tries against the Cavaliers in the NBA finals? Yeah, me neither. It’s a lovely morning here in Los Angeles, and I’ll probably head out and do some home improvement work until the afternoon, when I’ll download some albums and ignore my inflamed shoulder and hit the weights. I only had a single double of Jack Daniels last night, so I’m feeling pretty good. Hope you are too.
For sports, we’ve got the French Open Women’s Final (assuming you taped it via DVR and are planning on watching it)…assorted baseball…some international friendlies (runs through series of sexually suggestive antics)…and, ugh, golf. Hopefully it’s a nice day where you are, you should really get outside and get some fresh air.
How bout them gutty little Americans getting the lucky-ass draw at France today? I’m moderately hopeful about 2022 (what an idiot!)
As yeah right said below, Sunday Morning Coming Down was written by Army Ranger/Rhodes Scholar Kris Kristofferson. I like Kris singing it more than Johnny Cash, which may be blasphemous, but judge for yourselves…

Bonus: Drunk History story on how Kristofferson wrote this song (with Johnny Knoxville as Johnny Cash)

Playing Sweden appears to be like a trip to the dentist. And it’s guys, so it’s not even sexy ,, smh.
Tunes for your friendlies viewing! Great band, best ending lyric EVAR “No apologies…and fuck Tom Brady”

New Thread!
Ugh. Kimmel’s on Curb.
Hey! Friendlies between teams in the tourney:
Sweden hosts Perú, 1:30 Central, beIn español
Spain* vs. Tunisia 1:30 (in Krasnodar, Russia) at 1:30 Central ESPN Deportes
?

Yep. Fútbol it is.
* I hope Sergio Ramos gets stomped in the cock by studs.
$50 on Tunisia to win the first half @ +1000!
Got up early this morning, spent it reading the newspapers I haven’t been able to get to, (May 20th? What the fuck?), hit the bank and the grocery store, went to the dump, pulled a bunch of those goddamn gypsy moths off my apple tree and stomped the carp out of them and then cut some dead limbs off a tree.
Now it’s lunch time and then go to the gym and watch France’s A-team play the US C team while trying not to have a heart attack on the elliptical.
Tonight, we drink! And maybe burn things.
Oh did Manafort finally manage to get a hold of you?
The Manafort family homestead isn’t all that far from me; I can do a favor.
Jeebus, Auburn. I sure wish you’d played like this last weekend.
– NC State
Yeah, they are falling the fuck apart this inning. I used to see this kind of derp in Little League, but those kids were 12.
And I still yelled at them for it!
– H. Cornblower
Ice cream doesn’t take you to States; point-blank line-drive practice does.
(We did go to States, and I did buy them pizza, even though we got fucking curb-stomped)
I went for a jog, had my ☕️ + ?s, cooked, did the dishes. Now I’m too lazy to eat and go to the hardware store.
And I just saw the last season of Curb is on—which I missed last year for some weather thing.
In short, see ya tomorrow.

I did not wake up hungover today, so it’s an improvement over yesterday at least. Tomorrow could be bad, however.
I plan to do nothing today but watch college baseball, and probably drink a lot of things.
With Dan Haggerty AND Troy Donahue!
I’d watch that! (if only it were possible)
Spoiler alert: oven mitts and acetaminophen play central parts.
Oh, and my new weedlings germinated overnight, so I’m pretty happy today. This time I won’t be going to California and being a bad parent to them and coming home to them all being dead.
GROW, MY LOVELIES!!!!!
CONSTANT VIGILANCE
Jeff Sessions knows you are a horrible person.
[gurrgle, gurrgle, goes the bong]
That’s not exactly news to anyone who knows me.
Yes it is; Jeff Sessions is an idiot and a horrible person himself.
Did you throw crackers at your niece? Wait did that come out right?
How my last six months have gone in terms of fitness: Gym, what’s a gym? Is that a name, like Gym Johnson?
Hard to believe there are no FIFA friendlies today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGLzm-Gy0dQ
According to ESPN there’s Sweden vs. Peru, Denver vs. Mexico, Tunisia vs. Extra Special Players, and France vs. USA.
A “FIFA Friendly” is what I call it when I try to pay an escort for sex but I first I have to bribe 150 local bureaucrats and before I get to it I die of heat stroke in Qatar.
I’m about to watch Denmark-México. Weird that The Canada doesn’t get it.
You do get Sweden-Peru (on now!) And France-USA at noon.
The song in the intro was written by Kris Kristofferson.
I too have a trip to the gym, bank and grocery store on the agenda for the day. I’m two thirds of the way through the equipment install at work and I’m doing fuckall this weekend.
Except for cooking.
There will be gravy.
