Your “But Baby, You Didn’t Even Try” Sunday Evening Open Thread

Beerguyrob

/

,

A busy week coming up for yours truly. The penultimate week of my regular school program, so kids are getting all their work in ahead of finals, and the course I’m teaching at night because the district ran out of subs starts their novel. I chose “Of Mice & Men” because even though it’s a socialist allegory & a sausage fest, it’s just over 100 pages, making it the smallest “novel” available to teach, and I’m all about making my life easier.

Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB:
    • Yankees at Mets – 8:00PM | ESPN / TSN
  • NCAA Baseball: Super Regionals
    • Game 3: Mississippi State at Vanderbilt – 6:00PM | ESPN2
    • Game 2: Duke at Texas Tech – 6:00PM | ESPNU
    • Game 3: Minnesota at Oregon State – 9:00PM | ESPN2
    • Game 3: Washington at Cal State (Fullerton) – 9:00PM | ESPNU

Only one week of baseball until we get the World Cup. WE MIGHT JUST MAKE IT!

Random tip: if you have a really stinky pair of sneakers, douse them in isopropyl alcohol (it only took about a half a cup for mine) and seal them in a plastic bag for a few hours, then dry them in the sun. It really worked wonders for mine.

So here’s a conundrum: I need to cut back on drinking, but I’ve been upgraded on tonight’s flight.

1
Mr. Ayo

There’s always time later for cutting back.

2
BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’ll take things a moyel has never said for $400, Alex

you need to set a high bar so you can pat yourself on the back later for successfully cutting back

I was partial to the Wu Tang drop during the Shogun World episode. Tonight was a great episode.

Verdict on the Costco enchiladas: chicken was great, sauce was also quite good. Tortillas were pretty weak, though.

yeah right

Reconstituted tortillas don’t usually hold up.
Important cooking tip!

How lazy is Brick Meathook?

I spent the afternoon at three different stores testing recliners and I’m exhausted. Plus I ate half a cow and that took some effort, lifting the fork and so forth.

I guess it’s time to get high and have another bubble bath. It’s a wonder I remember to breathe.

5
Senor Weaselo

As long as you get high, then the bath, not get high on the materials for the bath.

wait until you spend the better part of tomorry morning trying to shit out said half cow!

That was basically the plot of the movie Gamer.

1
Brick Meathook

Hey I put the game in Gamer.

True story: before it was released, it’s title was briefly Citizen Game, which everyone agreed was a really horrible name.

2
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

(figured I’d let you mention that yourself – didn’t want to inadvertently dox you or anything)

1
Brick Meathook

Thanks for that consideration, but it’s time for the truth to get out. I’m not only the director of Gamer, I’m both of them. We are “Brick Meathook,” which is a stupid name that wasn’t my idea. It wasn’t my idea either you wanted it. I didn’t want it I wanted something much cooler than that. No way asshole it was totally your idea all the stupid ideas are yours. Shut up dickhead you couldn’t direct traffic down a one way street without me I carry you. Oh fuck off you pretentious douchebag why don’t you just wear an ascot and shove your

It’s like they wanted to surround Jessica Mendoza with the two biggest dopes in the world to make her seem like a complete seasoned professional.

Really? Weird they were on up here for the last couple of years. Usually US Netflix is way better.

Nope. This is the first time I’ve seen it. It must have gotten added this month. All this time, i’d been relying on YouTube uploads.

I’m pretty sure Canadian Netflix is better for British/ Australian/ Commonwealth shows…

The Dirt Giants know they’re not obligated to spot the Dirt Jets a run or two, even if it’s to be sporting. Right?

1
King Hippo

after winning big on the two Dirt Giants comebacks, I actually bet on the Jets from the jump tonight. But yes, I insurance bet after the Frazier home run.

Realizing I didn’t watch Westworld last week. Sweet, 2 hours of goodness.

I’m at this strange shack south of downtown L.A. in the forbidden zone. I can’t tell what language everyone is speaking but it ain’t English, and all the writing is crazy weird. They walked a cow to my table and shot it right there. Then they dragged it away and came back with this:

Nope. You’re a purist you’d hate this place.

Is Ovie going to die of alcohol poisoning before, during, or immediately after the victory parade?

Has a Rooskie ever reached their alcohol maximum?

The real question is if he destroys the Stanley Cup while doing so.

I have, um, a lot of concerns about Chris Jericho’s new look in NJPW. I can’t tell if he’s letting the unprecedented and largely undeserved success of Fozzy go to his head, or if he’s just taken one too many chairs to the face.

He was feuding with Bill Goldberg at the end of his WCW run, who always came out of his locker room to a police escort, so Jericho found himself a reasonable facsimile thereof.

PUA culture is very 2007 but if Jericho wants to bring that back, good for him.

I feel conflicted that I have such complete and utter disdain for PUA culture and yet here I am doing this bit with my stories for each country in the World Cup.

Tonight we are going to try some enchiladas we bought from Costco that were made with leftover roast chicken. Fingers crossed!

0
LemonJello

Is “leftover roast chicken” on the packaging or are you just guessing?

0
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No, it says so. The top ingredient is “cooked chicken meat”.

The chicken tikka masala was very good and my house smells amazing, and I expect to be completely sick of the smell by tomorrow.

I had a (wet) dream that trump lost his passport while at this G7 conference and the US border agents wouldn’t let him back in the country, and the world smiled.

Been on a tear clearing out the garage today. My goodness we have a lot shit. Just shit.

So now I’m bring my temp down and watching Wayne’s World 2 on Amazon Prime.

The boy decided on his own to start packing up toys he didn’t want anymore to give away. Hot Wheels era is officially over, thoughts and prayers. There are 3 big ass boxes full of a shocking amount of plastic bullshit that I’ve probably spent a year’s salary on at this point. Fuck toys.

We kept all the Legos and Thomas the Tank Engine stuff in the event we have grand kids…but I don’t even want to know how much money I’ve sunk into Barbies, Star Wars, and Polly Pockets.

Shit. Now I want to drink…

2
Gratliff

There’s a sea of legos in that fucking room. There’s so much money invested in those fucking things I’d probably murder him on principle if he gave them away.

The kids have to read a novel and write a report about it in two weeks while finals are going on?

That’s pretty fucked up right there, Canadian Educational System!

Not to mention the World Cup starting…

Well, they had to leave the calendar open earlier to celebrate a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup.
