Your “Leave Your Worries Behind” Friday Evening Open Thread

I’ve had a fairly crappy week this week.  But don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you about it.

But trust me, things here at home sucked this week.  So what’s my solution?

I’M GETTING THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!!

Yes, as soon as I’m done writing this post I’ll be heading to the airport.

By the time you read this post, I’ll either still be parked at the airport bar running up far too large of a tab; or I’ll be on a plane.  Hopefully drunk as hell.

Artist’s Conception

Now in truth, this trip was planned long before this past crappy week happened.  But I’m quite pleased by the serendipitous timing of it.  And I can’t wait to leave this all behind, even if only temporarily for now.

For the next week and a half I’ll have no responsibilities, California beaches, legal weed, and an attractive young lady by my side who has amazingly not yet figured out what an asshole I am.

For these things I am thankful.

Unrelated:  Does anyone know of a SoCal weed store which stays open like really, really late?  Asking foar a friend.

DFO This Week

It was an interesting week around here this past week.  With BeerBongBobby  off galavanting, this week’s open threads got covered by committee.  Senor Weaselo kicked off the week by covering the MLB Home Run Derby on Monday, then followed it up on Tuesday by covering the All-Star Game itself.  Which also kinda turned out to be a home run derby, I suppose.  Yeah Right  covered things on Wednesday, which as he so aptly pointed out was probably the most difficult night of the year for sports fans.  Then last night, Low Commander of the Super Soldiers  gave us some much needed encouragement.  Sort of.

BallsofSteelandFury  kept everyone updated on footy down under, of course.  Wakezilla  and company (Translation:  All those soccer nerds) had one last World Cup Circle JerkRikki-Tikki-Deadly  gave us his usual weekly double dose of musical stylings.  And The Maestro  kept on rolling with his CFL Beat.

In addition to his work on the early week open threads, Senor Weaselo  got back in on the act later in the week by keeping the Battlebots  going.  And frankly, on any other week he’d be Employee of the Week.  We’ll definitely give him honorable mention.  In fact, I offer him this as his consolation prize…

But this week, the EOW award can go to none other than Blaxabbath .  Not only did he make a human being (did any of the rest of you do THAT this week?  Huh, huh?), but early reports are that he hasn’t even done or said anything yet to cause his lovely Missus to punch him in the face since the glorious day (but give it time).  And in addition to all of that, he still found time to give us this little gem.

NOW THAT’S GOOD HUSTLE!!!!!

And with any luck, Blax, you’ll keep an eye on the kid and this won’t become your theme song.

(yes, I thought that was funny)

I can almost but not quite ID where that photo was taken. Normally I’d guess somewhere in Hollywood (note the orange and yellow soundstages) but that trail in the background makes me think it was actually somewhere in Burbank.

Agree. Somewhere in Warner Bros lot, I’d say.

Anyone think chances are good that Joe Mixon has a BRAEK OUT SEASON this year?

He’s due to break something.

Someone in training camp needs to suggest to Vontaze Burfict that Joe Mixon is the guy who got his baby sister pregnant.

I pray to Jebus he does.

Seriously, if Mixon has a breakout year, it’ll be because the Offensive Line is better, which will give him more holes to run through and give Dalton more time to find receivers not named AJ Green.

That’s when you know the Bengals are good, when the Offensive Line allows the RB not to make his first cut in the backfield and it allows Dalton to find the open receiver instead of panicking and throwing it at a moving person downfield.

Breaking News: Edmonton released the Terrell Owens from its negotiation list on Friday. That leaves Owens free to sign with any other CFL team.

I’ll be shocked if he’s not in Montreal by Monday

Yes; Israel blockaded all the new cars.

Yes; it’s obvious when you drive around jersey.

There are three remotely operated weather tower thingies (SCIENCE!) within 20 miles of my place. The high temps today at those locations were 106F, 111F, and 113F. FUCK JULY!!!!1!

Just checked and yesterday the respective highs were 108F, 112F and 113F. So I guess were in a … cooling trend?

I love that my mother in law has fallen in love with Persian food. Every time she comes to town now she wants to order it. That and she loves wine.

Wine and Persian food? That’s not bad

Yeah, is she single?

No, but dad in law likes me and always drinks top shelf booze

So what is the actual point of renting a house for a week instead of going to a hotel, or if you’re like me, couch surfing somewhere nearby? It’s one of those things I’ll never understand, like owning a motorhome or country music.

Sharkbait

I always liked the extra space. Having a yard is always good. Plus if it’s a week, the ability to make my own meals as opposed to going out for every meal.

Also fuck country music.

herodotus450

Plus you get to snoop around the house and judge the owners’ taste!

Spanky Datass

Last two summers we got a house on the beach in a gated community. The quarter mile or more of beach we had access to was very sparsly populated and very clean. Meanwhile the peasants from the hotel on the other side of the fence were crawling over each other like filthy sea turtles through flotsam and jetsam just to get to the water.
