Your “Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag Drifting Through The Wind?” Saturday Evening Open Thread

As of last night, this video has 1,112,055,580 views. I thought that was a lot, but then right alongside was “Roar”, which has over 2.5 billion views. Apparently, “Gangnam Style” is the record holder, with 3,181,065,840 views. Thus ends “Inane facts intro”, with Beerguyrob.

The reason I bring this up is because tonight is the start of Vancouver’s week-long fireworks curse, the “Honda Celebration of Light”.

There are three nights, Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday, each one put on/sponsored by a different country. This year, it’s South Africa, Sweden and South Korea.

Now, my annual rant about this event.

I hate fireworks.

Not in a “THERE’S POOR PEOPLE, FOR GOD’S SAKE!!111!” kind of way, but in a “big fucking deal” kind of way. Mostly, I dislike having to pull 100 pound dogs out from under beds where they go hide. But it brings in tourist revenue, and I do make a nice sum from the stags that come to the ballpark first before hitting downtown. And since I have friends who work in the service sector & this is a big-money night for them, I don’t get all high & holy about it.

But consider me irked. IRKED!


Tonight’s programming:

  • MLB:
    • Blue Jays at White Sox – 7:00PM | Sportsnet
    • Dodgers at Braves – 7:00PM | MLBN
  • CFL:
    • Stampeders at Roughriders – 9:00PM | TSN
  •  Futbol:
    • International Champions Cup:
      • Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City – 7:00PM | ESPN

      • Sporting KC vs. FC Dallas – 9:00PM | ESPN
      • Whitecaps FC vs. Minnesota – 10:00PM | TSN2
  • UFC Fight Night
    • Prelims: From Calgary – 6:00PM | FOX / TSN5
    • Main Card: Alvarez vs. Poirier – 8:00PM | FOX / TSN5
  • Comedy Central – The Bruce Willis Roast – 10:00PM

It’s on the Comedy Network in Canada either at 12:30AM ET/PT (according to my TV guide) or Sunday night at 10:00PM ET/PT (according to their schedule).

Otherwise, ENJOY YOUR EVENING!

I went to my first Angels game tonight. It was enjoyable.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Like steak AND a blowjob? Or just enjoyable?

comment image

BrettFavresColonoscopy

The latter

BrettFavresColonoscopy

The former is more euphoric than enjoyable

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Euphoric is pretty enjoyable…. imo.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Still; enjoyable is pretty damn good compared to the usual.

Here’s my beloved late dog taking a shit in the high desert near Edwards Air Force Base. In the spring this area is covered solid with golden California poppies. There’s also snakes and the occasional stealth bomber flyover.

I’m hearing great things about the Teen Titans Go movie, which admittedly has me shocked

About three hours north of Los Angeles is an awesome little town called Lone Pine, at the base of Mt. Whitney and on the edge of the Alabama Hills where hundreds of movie westerns were filmed. This picture is on the wall of celebrity photos in the Lone Pine Diner. I have no explanation for it.

Here’s a Lockheed Constellation model that took me ten years to build. I bought it, worked on it for three days, put it away, waited ten years, then I took it out and worked on it for three more days and finished it. It is my pride and joy and I want to hang it from a string over my bed. Not really. I moved recently and I broke off two wheels and a propeller blade; they’re at the bottom of a box and ten years from now I might glue them back on.
comment image

King Hippo

took me TWENTY GODDAMNED YEARS….

yeah right

Sniffing the airplane glue slowed down the projected completion time exponentially.

Here’s a picture of me riding a horse through Gettysburg battlefield on a hot July day a few years ago. I felt just like a Union cavalryman (which I once was – in a movie – as an extra) except that I could have walked faster than this horse. The good part was that the horse was completely on autopilot and I didn’t have to do a thing.

The stable was east of Little Round Top which, as I’m sure you all know, was on the Union side of the battlefield.

Brick Meathook

Oh, and in the movie it was during the March to the Sea and damn straight I was a Union cavalry man. Our horses were dressed with loot like silverware sets and cool shit like that.

A pleasant reminder. I don’t have to build up rage this August, because Terrell Muthafuckin’ Davis is rightfully in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

/Steve Atwater belongs there, too, but it’s not a blind rage type thing.

(imagining of Ken Anderson and Ken Riley on the outside looking in)

(mumbles profanities at Joe Montana’s God-given talent at last second miracle drives and the 1981 Cincinnati Bengals being unable to gain one yard in three tries)

(imagining Riley dopeslapping Anderson on the back of the head)

King Hippo

Ken Anderson was really good. I don’t remember Riley.

King Hippo

I do remember my little brother wearing his Bengals helmet, and making fun of him for crying at the loss (even though I was pulling for CIN, I had no beef with them, plus AFC solidarity, and always thought Montana was overrated). Boy howdy, did God get me back for that later in the decade.

Redshirt

Cornerback. 65 career INTs. Tied with C. Woodson fifth most for entire career. Has more INTs than Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Darren Sharper.

Unfortately played in the same division as the Steel Curtain in the 70s and showed up at the Championship Game playing for the Other Team in a Hollywood Sports Movie.

King Hippo

yeah, the 70s were a hard time to break through in the AFC. Then if you could break through in the 80s/early 90s, you hit a vat of acid in the Super Bowl.

I would have had a nervous breakdown without the onset of the salary cap era, the goddamned Pokes and pre-Tomsula 49ers winning every season.

At a college dorm, I saw something like that. Unfortunately it was about 200 pounds more and possibly the other gender. Thought, I cannot confirm the later. The hilly terrain made identifying anatomical landmarks difficult.

Me and my friends decided to play Star Wars Battlefront II for the first time in some months. It was nice, they’ve updated the game. But we did have a round where we were handed our asses by better players. Their characters were maxed out, and their skill was earned from playing the game nonstop to the point where they have no family, no friends in real life and no jobs to distract themselves from playing the game.

We may have lost that round, but I cannot help but feel like we won, to be honest.

Remember “we will not negotiate with terrorists”? Well…
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/28/world/asia/us-taliban-afghanistan-talks.html

The kicker is in the last three paragraphs. Remember, the US is holding these negotiations WITHOUT CONSULTING OR EVEN INFORMING the Afghan government:

On a visit to Kabul last Monday, the American military officer in charge of Central Command, Gen. Joseph L. Votel, was asked about the new American stance on peace talks.

“As President Ghani has indicated, he’s ready to pursue something without conditions — that speaks for itself,” he said.

“Everything can be on the table here as we move forward with this Afghan-led process.”

“Afghan-led”. Bald-faced fucking lie.

Bought a new porch swing and want to order some rope to hang it (just an aestetic choice, rather than chains). Shopping for this rope online is both very easy and very difficult.

Go with hemp. That way if you get bored with the swing you can smoke the rope!

There are three nights, Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday, each one put on/sponsored by a different country. This year, it’s South Africa, Sweden and South Korea.

Next year it should be Canada for one night, and the United States for the other two. That would be bitchin’ as a fuckin’ Camaro.

but don’t both countries have to buy they shit en Mexico?

is he still randomly backup catching? That was my favourite roster ploy of the season.

Yes, I think IK-F caught once or twice this week but … I drinks a bit so my timeline may be faulty.
