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.
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 Jerk. Rikki-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)

There are a lot of forest fires and potential for even more.
Controlled burning.
Week over.
Redshirt tired.
Brain jelly.
Need alcohol.
That’s going to leave a bad tan line
Vegas, baby!
I had a productive week too.
SCIENCE!!
Indeed. Those physics are impressive.

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.

Hey that’s what I’m doing tonight too! Minus the jiggling, of course.
Check to make sure you have ….. ample….. pasta.
But the same outfit tho.
Me too. There will be some jiggling
Anyone think chances are good that Joe Mixon has a BRAEK OUT SEASON this year?
He’s due to break something.
/Domestic abuse jokes are fun
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

This Palestinian’s beauty is harder to define than Israeli borders
Somehow I bet she no has a Gaza strip.
I didn’t speak out when Israel annexed the West Bank, but I’ll be damned if I stay silent while they take New Jersey!
I know, what took them so long?
Is that the nicest car they could find?
Yes; Israel blockaded all the new cars.
In New Jersey?
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?
Do you live on the sun?
Hello July! I’m Shogun. I’ve been ordered to pleasure you.
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

Why is that astronaut standing on Norv Turner’s face?
tWBS, are you still thinking of something to replace Sexy Friday?
Have you thought about doing a weekly draft as part of your Friday thread?
That’s a great idea!
I draft Christy Canyon
Is that a cuntry singer?
No. It’s a singing cu…
Never mind, my next beer is here. Yay.
Not bad. Fwiw I’ve just had two drafts. And two shots. And my flight looks to be delayed so there very well may be moar of both.
Plus i need to pee.
I better go do that.
I have successfully peed.
And yes, my flight is delayed be 90 minutes, which will now fuck up my connection.
Time to get good and drunk so am back in airport bar.
On the plus side, I’m sitting next to a hot chick this time.
And by the time I get to California tomorrow, the weed stores will be open.
@ballsofsteel…this probably does fuck up lunch tomorrow once and for all. We’ll see.
The onion does it again!

Currently 3 deep on a train to cape cod. There house is unexpectedly open this weekend so Mrs Sharkbait and I are taking advantage.
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.
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.
Plus you get to snoop around the house and judge the owners’ taste!
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.

And yes, having a kitchen on vacation is a game changer.
Blax wins for creating ONE human!? Well I don’t mean to brag, but I just flushed 100 million potential humans down the toilet, so where’s my award?
For all we know, one of them could’ve been the next Hitler, so well done.
Time to get caught up on endless hours of the G1 Climax. Hopefully, they do a better job of not trying to murder eachother this year.
Oh my god!
