I have been in America all weekend, at my step-niece’s grad weekend. There was a party at my brother’s house for the adults yesterday, and this afternoon was the ceremony – which was held at the hockey rink in Everett because of the size of the crowd. There were about 500 grads on the floor & 3000 relatives in the stands.
It wouldn’t have been so bad, except they opened the general concessions but not the beer room. 2/10; would not attend again.
Tonight’s sports:
- MLB:
- Cubs at Cardinals – 8:00PM | ESPN / TSN
- College World Series:
- Texas Tech vs. Florida – 7:00PM | ESPN2
I also discovered that I’ve become an old man. Not only am I now old enough to have been a grandfather to all the kids graduating, I met someone younger than me who actually was. MAKING AMERICA GENERATIONALLY ACCESSIBLE!
Cool, Rafael Palmeiro doc on now.
Brush with greatness moment(s)….
His son played first base for my alma mater recently. He was usually there, seated very close to where I was. I was a season ticket holder. Just so happened to also be a Baltimore fan, of course. So I approached him. Nice guy. With a lot of regrets, of course. Just like all of us, I guess.
I learned a lot from him. About baseball, and about…well…. the business of baseball.
Nice guy.
By the business of baseball, you mean “definitely not PEDs” right?
The subject matter never went there. At least not directly.
I could make interpretations, but shouldn’t.
But I’m not saying “definitely not PEDs”. It was the era he played in. I’m not judging the guy.
Thank you Texas Tech.
Fuck you, Florida.
Dang! I need that car.
How drunk has an affect on choice.
Fairly impressive that she managed to paint the same perspective as in the photo while being on the opposite side of the subject.
That’s some damn fine fake painting right there.
Um, they may have moved it so that the audience can get the comparison.
Zoe Mozert painted Jane Russell for The Outlaw film poster; publicity shot.
Never saw it. I guess they should have thought out the layout of the photo a little better, however. But yes, I’m sure it appealed to the non-observant audience of the time.
Still probably would, I suppose.
Hey you’re both right! It’s faked, because she’s holding a palette and a brush and looks like she’s painting. However, that painting was from photographs, not a live sitting, so she could get her tits just right for Howard Hughes approval. Jane Russell had to strike that pose about a thousand times for all sorts of PR stuff. I’m a bit of a Howard Hughes scholar, and I know the story of The Outlaw pretty well, and it’s crazy awesome.
He was a good engineer, but he didn’t know bras.
Hahaha.
It seems absurd, but he did try to design a bra for her ampleness.
I like the classics but never saw that one. I’ll have to look it up.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036241/
This is anecdotal, but sounds like some things from other sources. It was way to much for 1943.
http://neverpleadguilty.blogspot.com/2008/05/howard-hughes-case-with-jane-russel.html
In spite of all that the movie is not very good. Hughes’ ego.
It’s a pretty bad movie. Not a classic, just infamous.
Not even close to classic, but classic tits.
Hey man, if I didn’t embrace infamy, I might as well just go ahead and die.
Plus….titties in poorly constructed bras. So there’s that.
The Outlaw (1943), Produced by Howard Hughes, Starring Jane Russell’s Tits
Goddammit Texas Tech pitcher whose name I don’t know. You were ahead in the count and you groove that bullshit????
Holy shit.
The lady next to me at the bar was not having it when I explained what Rocky mountain oysters are. No, I don’t know why they’re on the menu here but it’s not my fault.
You could have always dropped trou and illustrated.
I thought you said you were drunk???? You disappoint me.
Her Russian boyfriend and I telepathically agreed that I wasn’t drunk enough.
Also Lady BFC and you.
I wonder if there’s a Cosmo Quiz for this – on what date should you make your prospective boo eat balls?
/this would be a deal-breaker for me, non-Emily Haines division
First, obviously.
Hehehehe. I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how to respond. “Make” is a difficult term to reconcile. But considering recent events for me personally….
Go with the “voluntary” on the second date. It was worth the time investment. No shit.
Maybe not “make”, but make sure she knows they are much better with mustard.
Seems like that might sting.
The bull hardly notices.
She didn’t believe you? She needs to order some either way.
Let’s go Red Raiders. Hang on and put these Gatorz in the loser’s bracket. Please.
Arguably the most under rated show in the storied history of adult swim.
Seriously squid billies was fucking funny
Agreed. I still tell people I’m waitin’ on a “moneycheck”.
It’s a little too accurate……
How so?
In the redneck way, the sarcasm is legit.
Alright, Denver airport bar has Cubs-Assholes on the TV. Let’s see a St Louis choke like when Charles Lindbergh took that hooker up to the Arch.
Assholes WOO!!!!
I like that y’all be playing like us these past few innings. It helps quite a bit. We are just playing spoiler for the Dirt Packers (sounds dirty) now, but Hippo ain’t care. 😀
Looks like Magary missing a chromosome.
That guy is in a heated argument with a ghost.
So the person in the gif is missing TWO chromosomes? That’s tough.
tends to be quite the volume of slobber associated with that ,, smh
How has the Magary gif not undergone Rob Ford strobe lighting yet?
Ronda Rousey vs. Nia Jax for the women’s championship. Your winner: Alexa Bliss
No no, the winner is us.
To answer balls’ question from earlier: no ferry goes from mainland BC into the US. The only ferry that does is from Vancouver Island – Victoria to Anacortes or Victoria to Port Angeles.
That being said, the lineup to get back to canada today was three hours. My NEXUS pass cut that to 45 minutes.
You’re mistaken. Justin Bieber has gone from BC into the US, so I would imagine another ferry would as well.
My favorite non-Tinkerbell ferry.
I did the Port Angeles/Victoria ferry, and it was glorious. On the way back, I took the highway, and my bladder almost exploded.
Thanks for the answer. The Vancouver-Victoria ferry plus Victoria-Anacortes might be interesting to try…
What about the one to Victoria from Olympia or whatever that is outside of Seattle?
I thought that around here ferries were known as CARBOATs.

You know what’s great about Fathers Day? When your wife doesn’t really know what to get you, so you end up with six different microbrew bombers.
Hi, Elysian Superfuzz Blood Orange Pale Ale.
You’re a good little beer, aren’t you?
“Just for that I’ll break their hearts. Their achy break hearts.”
2-nil to the good in #BFIB-land! All is almost well!!
hey, the armed robbery guy on the ESPN ticker (JJ Hickson)?? Guess where he played his college hoopsball??
Holy shit. Are you shitting me? I haven’t seen that yet.
Westworld was interesting tonight, however.
“armed robbery” with a knife! Good ol’ knuckle-headery.
smgdh
i wonder how long until BJ Anya robs a KFC and takes nothing but biscuits and potato salad.
Jeebus.
“Say, you wouldn’t happen to have a BJ Anya, would you?”
If you’re gonna rob a chicken place for biscuits at least rob Popeye’s!
Hey, we rob pizza delivery guys in Rawlee and don’t you ferget it!!!!
Of course that guy cleaned up his act, but then killt hizzself while driving a bus.
NC State Basketball: Shooting ourselves in the dick since 1989
I remember talking to a buddy of mine, who was a nickel back/special teams player on Dick Sheridan’s teams. He lived at College Inn at that time, and despite being a straight-laced guy (he went back into the JAG Corps to get his 20 years in) he pretty much defended the pizza thieving. “You don’t understand, once you crossed over (the CI property line) you were in OUR WORLD.“
Hey, I’ll give Lo this much…he wanted pizza and didn’t hurt anyone.
Well, until he crashed that bus.
I’m guessing one of the college with North Carolina in its name. So 50-50.
unfortunately, one of our wolven own. Not one I woulda suspected, neither.
Sidney Lowe. The gift that keeps on giving.
oh yeah, forgot he had that stank
That was the “we might not lose five games this year” team IIRC.
with Gavin “I ain’t no point guard” Grant, who also spent a little time in the federal pokey
That’s the one.
Oh good. Alex Rodriguez is announcing Sunday Night Baseball.
oh, I been on mute since bottom of the 1st

Ohio is Buckeyes? I guess the state of Ohio is so regionally different that the only thing we can agree on is chocolate and peanut butter.
Definitely not chili.
Agreed. Cincy chili is only in southwest OH. There are those in the other cities, but its a few. Usually its done by transplanted Cincinnatians.
That also explains the Skylines and Gold Stars that has popped up in Florida.
I’m gonna have to manually back shit up instead of Time Machine, this is some bullshit.
Hey! Where’s the NSFW warning?!
Get Carbon Copy Cloner. I use it and it’s great. I never could even figure out Time Machine. CCC has a free trial, it’s $40 to buy and worth every penny. I have 8 TB of drives that are backed up automatically every night.
The hard drive is toast-ish, I’m running recovery in an attempt to not have to pay the ass-ton it’ll cost. Or at least get what I can.
Crazy enough I think part of it was a DFO-related image that had issues reading, not sure why. But if I can get the important shit I’ll call it a win—the compositions are Dropboxed but I want Finale, then any important docs and videos and pictures.
Pay a lot for what?
All the data recovery costs. It’s not an arm and a leg, maybe just one, but hey, it’s worth a try.
So far with the exception of parts of a half-edited video and a screencap it’s been okay, it’s just going to be a little more tedious now.
What does your Time Machine do? All your data should be copied there, so there’s no need for “recovery” it should just be there. Are you actually backing up your drive? You’ve got me curious now, but in a helpful way.
The hard drive is failing so Time Machine isn’t completing due to errors. (Hell the laptop itself isn’t booting.) So I connected my laptop through the desktop but Time Machine was still crapping out a quarter of the way through so I’m just doing whatever files I can/care to get basically swapping one hard drive to the other (my portable). I can potentially do this on my own time since I can swap out hard drives and then I’d just need to get a sled for the old one (which I will do just in case I’m missing anything) but as I’m already connected why not just swap things out now?
Shout out to whomever has the WiFi network named “Pickle Rick”
Aaaaand I’m drunk.
Nothing like flying drunk!
“Listen lady, I can’t tell you to not back dat ass up, but you’re gonna have to go around the corner, it’s a one way street here.”
I may be hypnotized at this point.
When your pick up lines are too good.
Relevant to DFO interests
So that’s where my ladder went. I’ve been looking for that.
That’s how I always imagine Alexa Bliss. On top and looking down on me.
If the commenters were reversed on this is would have made just as much sense.
have you ever noticed that every member of the Cubs has a really stupid face?
Someday, I fully expect this guy to be standing in the street in front of his brother-in-law’s house yelling….
SHITTER’S FULL!!!!!!
Normally I’d be against watching Family Feud, but Barkley and Shaq are on, so you know it’s going to be insane.

Weight update. I’m under the Mendoza Line so…

Gary Sanchez?
good job, magical pony/Bengals fan! Are you using diet, exercise, vomit, or a combo of all 3?
Quasi-diet. I’ve starting swimming in the pool to burn fat and build stamina so I can start riding my bike on a nearby trail. Now I can only go about two mile or about 15 minutes.
Good work. Keep it up.
lap swimming is seriously the best exercise one can do, works cardio and like every muscle group. Also easy on the knee joints. You got dis!
I only have a 24′ round pool, so I can’t really go long distance. I just go back and forth. Currently I’m up to about 90 yards breaststroke and 90 yards passive backstroke. Nothing fancy, just something to keep my arms moving underwater. If I tried freestyle, I’d probably be across the pool in about five seconds.
It looks like there won’t be a Bengal in the Top 20 players on NFLN. Because if there is a Bengals player selected higher than AJ Green, the concussion problem in the NFL is worse that we thought.
#BFIB want me ded even MOAR than I do. Please for the holy name of fuck do not get swept tonight, surely Flaherty won’t lose to Fuckin’ Quintana, man??
“Larry’s girlfriend bit me so I had to leave the picnic early. I didn’t even bother taking the potato salad I brought.”
My wife, “helping” me paint (artist’s conception).
Is alcohol involved?
I’m betting it probably is now if it wasn’t before.
Apparently Fox has a show called One Stange Rock hosted by Will Smith. This is the third episode but I hope he started the first episode with “Welcome to Earth” a la Independence Day.
I tried to watch the first episode…but I could not stand his narration. I am not sure what about it I didn’t like…I found him distracting.
Apparently so many people jumped up in Mexico City at the end of the Mex-Ger match that a mini-quake was registered.
El #sismo detectado en la Ciudad de México se originó de manera artificial. Posiblemente por saltos masivos durante el Gol de la selección de #México en el mundial. Por lo menos dos sensores dentro de la Ciudad lo detectaron a las 11:32.
I can’t wait to see how many kids are born 9 months from now…
In just your neighborhood, orrrrrr….?
(see that’s a joke about you being so happy that you fucked anything that moved today)
I’m expecting a lot of people calling in sick tomorrow at work.
Ok, am I the only one that watches Carnival Eats and is both repulsed and aroused?
Yes, absolutely. I want to eat that stuff but it is so wrong for you.
How do the ads for the PIX 11 News look like they’re attempts at digitally restoring tapes from the ‘70s?
They spend all their money on yule log technology?
That and all the wooden soldiers from Attack of the Wooden Soldiers.
Do you ever take the ferry over the border instead of doing the drive?
WUT?
The continuing adventures of emptying my liquor cabinet this evening may feature the last Treehouse Horatio shipped me, La Folie, and various whiskies. All before I go to the airport.
You can’t bring them with you?
I don’t want to take the refrigerated ones out of the cold. And the like less than a quarter left bottles of booze.
Solution: Create a bottle of BFC Island Iced Tea.
The question I have is did you congratulate your step-niece by checking her into the boards as she received her diploma? Because that would be the Canadian thing to do, of course.
That’s only tradition for Canadian schools, I believe. Fun fact*, that’s why that girl went and did all that shit regarding her clarinetist boyfriend!
*Fun fact may be neither a fact nor fun.
He shoulda cross-checked that crazy bitch out the window.
Vagina first like in the gif you posted.
While “Vagina First” is usually a rule I try to follow, I’m not sure it’s the best policy in this particular case. 😛
I DIDN’T SAY IT FOR WHISKEYDUDERYAN’S NIECE!
Yes, I just realized that.
LMFAO
I would have thought it was for the independently agile fingers on both hands.
USMLE can be a bitch if she didn’t study.
*worst boards joke ever.
As is tradition!
Wait…
/ does math
18+18=36+18=54
You’re 54?
Tonight marks the return of our favorite game show “BUT IS IT A CATCH!?” on the annual Money in the Bank trainwreck/PPV. (SPOILER: It won’t be.)
