Wow, what a day.
I ended a relationship and got accused of hit and run.
OK, for the record, those two things are unrelated. I was not accused of hit and run by the young lady I ended the relationship with.
Well, that’s not exactly true. But she didn’t say it in those terms.
But the Raleigh-Durham International Airport Police have accused me of an actual hit and run. On a fucking light pole….no shit. Check this out….I got a real citation and everything….
…you did lawfully and willfully operate a motor vehicle on a public vehicular area and fail to immediately stop the vehicle [you] were driving at the scene of an accident and collision in which [you] were involved. This collision resulted in property damage to two concrete ballards and a light pole belonging to Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority and….
Oh fuck it. You get the point.
And what the fuck is a “Concrete Ballard”?????? The Baltimore Orioles used to have a pitcher named Jeff Ballard. And he pitched like his hands were made of concrete. Is that close?
And really? Hit and run on a light pole? You gotta be shitting me!!!!
If you’d used better concrete ballards to begin with, I could have never even bumped your precious light pole anyway….you get that, right? So it’s kinda more your fault than mine. In a way. Sort of.
Anywhoooooo….
I have a court date and everything. Should I buy a new suit or just show up in board shorts like The Dude would?
Or maybe I should just abscond.
Fuck that parking lot. AMIRITE???????
Fortunately, my insurance company has already settled with “The Parking Lot” I ran over. And my truck named “Dave” even gets a brand new bumper next week in spite of the fact that it’s his damned fault I got caught to begin with….
Unrelated: Could someone please remind me to take his license plate off the next time I go to the airport? K, thx.
smgdh.

*Note….
I had already responsibly handled the property damage portion of this incident before I received the hit and run legal citation from RDU Police.
Yes, that means I’m kinda pissed off now.

So, What’s Going On Tonight?
Not a damned thing, more or less.
There’s baseball…
- Red Sox at Phillies – 7:00pmEDT – TV: MLBN (regional split)
- Rays at Yanks – 7:00pmEDT – TV: MLBN (regional split)
Let’s see, what else? Oh, there’s also a four hour Fantasy Football Special on ESPN from 7pm to 11pm EDT. But I guarantee you they know less than we do already. If they knew shit, it wouldn’t take four hours to say so. So fuck that.
Little League Softball (ESPN2) and Rodeo (ESPNU) appears to be what is rounding things out so….it might be a good night to read.
Hey, at least there will be crappy pre-season football beginning Thursday. Right?
–
It’s Gonna Take A Team Effort Tonight
Seriously. With such a crappy sports lineup tonight, we’re gonna need everyone pitching in to get this thing off the ground.
For now, Imma go clear my head by taking a drive and…
/calls insurance agent
(Hi!!!!! Yeah, it’s me again!!!!!!)
Have a great night, everyone.

[…] thanks to tWBS for stepping up and doing a great job with such short […]
Ted Gregory.
“The legend goes that Gregory was selected almost sight unseen by the team. He never played a game for the Broncos. He was traded to the Saints before the start of his rookie season and played just three games in his NFL career. Two honorable mentions for a Denver draft bust: WR Marcus Nash, the first-round pick in 1998 (30th overall), who had four receptions as a rookie in a short tenure, and Jarvis Moss, taken 17th overall in 2007, who had two starts in five-year career.”
R-Pax will be up there, but not as bad.
I’d say Nash gets a pass because 30th overall is essentially a crap shoot.
Hey Seamus, sorry to read about you and your ex and the whole H&R situation.
This made me giggle.
Thanks for the well-wishes though, my friend.
Twbs you live in Carolina isn’t there a “Rubbin is racing” clause in your insurance?
Nah, Earnhardt fucked that up for all of us.
And then there’s this. It’s like looking at the Arc of the Covenant:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cleveland_Browns_first-round_draft_picks
They should approach their drafts like an office pool. Let the secretary pick based on some random thing like alma mater mascots. They’d be better off, right?
I mean, they already tried that approach. Remember when a homeless man told them to draft Manziel?
O. M. G.
R. I. P. Mayfield.
This is just dire:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cincinnati_Bengals_first-round_draft_picks
Yikes. That’s a brutal list
Akili Smith was a CFL hero!
/played once then got cut.
So, about the same career he had in Dallas?
Okay (takes a shot of Jack Daniels). Lets do this!
1960s: Bob Johnson was a good pick and solid player. Greg Cook was an excellent pick before he got hurt. His blown out shoulder cost Cincy a Super Bowl.
1970s: Don’t know most of these players. Before my time. Issac Curtis was a part of the ’81 Super Bowl team. Archie Griffin is the only two-time Heisman winner. He was drafted 24th overall by Cincinnati and was never heard from again. Jack Thompson was a harbinger of QB busts to come.
1980s: Anthony Munoz. Enough said. Other than Tim McGee (solid WR), I don’t know any of these guys.
1990s: … (takes another shot of Jack Daniels)…(takes another shot of Jack Daniels)…okay. Lets stare into that abyss.
1990: James Francis: Starts off the Decade of Debacle with an average at best player.
1991: Alfred Williams: Great player. Probably praises the Heavens for Free Agency.
1992a: David Klinger: Yep, THAT David Klingler. Product of a Run and Shoot Offense. Tried to turn him into something he wasn’t. Didn’t give him the O-line to protect him. Rumors of Paul Brown on his dead bed telling his son, Mike, not to draft Klingler are unsubstantiated.
1992b: Darryl Williams: Decent player really.
1993: John Copeland: Was great in Tecmo Super Bowl 3: Final Edition. Didn’t translate on the field.
1994: Dan Wilkinson: Underperformed, but probably because of coaching.
1995: Ki-Jana Carter: Actually a very good pick…at least until the Silverdome Turf Monster got involved.
1996: Willie Anderson: Excellent pick. If he played for another team, he’d be in the Hall of Fame. FACT!
1997: Reinard Wilson: Oh, yeah, I forgot about this guy.
1998: Takeo Spikes and Brian Simmons: Two great picks that fixed the LB corps for a few years. Too bad about the rest of the team.
1999: Akili Smith: Yep. THAT Akili Smith. Didn’t study. Didn’t try to learn. At least he admits it though.
(shudders, crying, drink another shot of Jack Daniels)
2000: Peter Warrick: Had college talent. Didn’t translate. Probably has to do with the QBs. Most likely. Its the QBs.
2001: Justin Smith: Please see 1991.
2002: Levi Jones: Rare bread of good bad player. Technically good, not great.
2003: Carson Palmer. Great player before the knee. Very good after until the arm.
2004: Chris Perry: The first “…what?!” pick of Marvin Lewis’s career.
2005: David Pollack: Another “Great pick but got hurt” pick. Broke his neck, but he’s fine now.
2006: Johnathan Please see 1991 and 2001.
2007: Leon Halll: Very good choice. Solid player.
2008: Keith Rivers: Okay pick. Got destroyed by Hines Ward on a Blindside Block (a Steeler with a bad hit – unthinkable!) and wasn’t the same after.
2009: Andre Smith: Levi Jones 2.0.
(primal growling, finishes bottle of Jack Daniels)
2010: Jermaine Gresham: Average TE. Responsible for one or two Playoff Losses.
2011: A.J. Green: Hopefully he gets the recognition he deserves. If not with the Bengals than with someone other than the Steelers, Ravens, Browns or Patriots.
2012a: Dre Kirkpatrick: Okay pick. Good, but not great.
2012b: Kevin Zeitler: Overrated. Way overrated.
2013: Tyler Eifert: Yet another “Great pick but gets hurt” pick.
2014: Darqueze Dennard: I honestly forgot we had this guy.
2015: Cedric Ogbuehi: Bengals get cocky by drafting a hurt player. Set the franchise back.
2016: William Jackson III: Too soon to tell, but his name was coming on the radio quite a bit on pass breakups.
2017: John Ross: Bengals pull a Raiders by drafting a fast receiver. It worked about the same.
(breaks bottles of Jack Daniels over head; passes out)
Redshirt, you’re my favorite devout NFL fan/seemingly reasonable conservative. Please don’t change.
EA loved David Pollack. I remember he was pretty measty in Madden. I’m actually shocked to see he only played 2 years in the league.
Falling down a flight of steps, and fracturing your spine, AKA the Cincy Bengals Special, will do that.
Tried out Madden 18’s Longshot thing. It is a nice escape, though my friend’s inability to shut the hell up kept giving me negative character issues. I quit before it went to the logical conclusion of me choosing whether or not to punch him in the throat for closing me my shot with an NFL team.
If they did something like that for the NHL franchise I’d buy it again. Instead it’s now a $60 roster update
You lost the shot to win with an NFL team when you picked the Bengals.
In my defense, my earliest memory of watching a Bengals game involved the 1993 Patriots. If you’re a stupid kid and you have your hometown team in white jersey with tiger stripes on their helmets and the other team with a bland as hell jersey that somehow has at least two competing color schemes, who do you root for?
So that’s it. Now you know why I’m a Bengals fan. Because of the shitty Patriots uniform they wore for one season in 1993. If they would’ve gone straight from the 1980s red one to the underrated ones of the late 90s, I’d probably be happy as a Colts fan or maybe even a Steelers fan.
I don’t remember those jerseys at all. It reminds me of a pro-bowl jersey
The Madden 19 update of the mobile version is out. It’s… well, it’s something.

Wow, who the fuck parked those cars? None of them are in the lines.
And don’t you dare say “tWBS did”
Obviously you didn’t. Those bumpers are still pristine.
OK, smartypants. That was funny.
My son is taking the alcohol education course UConn requires all new students to take.
One of the alternative they suggest to drinking is bowling.
There is absolutely no way that bowling is not greatly enhanced by bowling.
Typo or not…..
YOU DECIDE!!
Fuck it, I’m leaving it.
Bowling²
Not. Because imagine the added fun of picking up a split if you have to roll a hoop down the lane.
Bowling increases the odds of Munson
Whoa, weird, and now I’m sad. I will explain…
My middle school shop teacher, coolest dude ever, used to organize bowling field trips for us. Great guy.
Then he bought a car from an organized crime chop shop (unknowingly) and then got pulled into an investigation and was being asked to testify. He agreed to do so.
Then he conveniently got dead a couple of weeks before the trial.
True story.
His last name was Munson.
https://unsolved.com/gallery/oliver-munson/
Sorry, didn’t mean to piss on the party.
It just struck me weird. Hadn’t thought of Mr. Munson in years.
Carry on.
The Germans LOVE that.
and Big Ern McCracken was not the villain of the movie. He never forced Munson or anyone else to do anything else they didnt want to do.
You can bowl sober?!? What’s the point?
Oh, that Alcohol Edu bullshit? Good times, good times…
/Not good times
My parents always blamed a flood for the VHS tapes tracking acting up when Kate Winslet got drawn like a French girl and when Eddie Murphy’s Royal Penis got cleaned.
Either that or they were kind enough not to bring it up to me.

Outside of the first 30 minutes, which was absolutely shit, I thought the rest of the film ranged from meh to pretty good.
In fairness, that was her purse, and she didn’t know him.
Boy I sure hope that driver didn’t fail to immediately stop the vehicle they were driving at the scene of an accident and collision in which they were involved.
OK, you guys are really fucking beginning to piss me off now.
I BACKED INTO IT, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, HALF ASLEEP AFTER A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT AND IT WAS POORLY LIT.
Well, at least it was after I hit the light pole.
AMIRITE????
Hehehehehe, oh come on that was funny.
In all seriousness…
Insurance dude did ask me… Did you do this on purpose?
(because I was quite pissed at RDU Parking Authority for other reasons)
((but no, dude, I didn’t fuck up my truck on purpose))
Well, under different circumstances…..
“Yes, I backed into that pole on purpose.” Might get you paid.
Hehehehe
You know someone tried doing that exact thing on purpose before.
So when is tWBS-Palooza?

Confession: I’ve spent the majority of my life confusing sharon stone and michelle pfeifer.
I know they don’t necessarily look alike, I know they have had very distinctive film roles, but for some reason I think of the other when 1 is mentioned
FWIW, I think one could probably confuse Sharon Stone fairly easily.
She’s stupid, is my point.
I was very confused when I learned about Mekhi Phifer
If that is your biggest sin, we are fine with it.
Roger Stone, the guy on the far left, actually re-tweeted this image that has been circulating.
He didn’t notice the swastikas on the space suits…
Bullshit. The guy with the fucking Nixon tattoo on his back (no, seriously, it’s there) notices little shit like that
I don’t know; he’s losing his edge: he’s not even the smelliest turd in the bucket anymore.
Also, I wish this was the Challenger Crew Photograph.

People complain about Christmas coming earlier and earlier every year.
I dont give a shit because I get excited seeing Halloween candy in Walgreens in August
In my experience, coming earlier and earlier does earn one his fair share of complaints.

That sucks. My bells haven’t done shit this year though. Friend a coupla miles away? His have rocked this year. It’s been a weird year.

When I came back from the UAE, doing about a year there on a job, I was immediately arrested at the airport.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE FACT ACCORDING TO A BARTENDER THAT I WORKED WITH IN OTTAWA-
As a kid, Tom Cruise beat him to a pulp during recess one time.*

She’s on record that Tom Cruise was one of her best lovers.
Well, once you fuck Sonny Bono, the bar isn’t very high.
Yes, that’s a “short” joke.
Cruise is 5’9″.
/”drops mic”*
* thinks that he totally owned Seamus
Narrator: “Not even close.”
If Cruise is 5′ 9″, I’m 6′ 5″ without the afro.
LMFAO
Cruise is 5’9″ if he stands on a box.
Cher’s box.
it sez 5’7″, and that is prolly favorable.
Well, he probably does love eating ass…
