Your “My Nuts Are Falling” Friday Evening Open Thread

Seriously.  Acorns, hickory nuts….even a persimmon hit me in the head yesterday while I was cleaning up hurricane debris.  Gravity is stupid.

(This vid is very NSFW, btw)

But the squirrels like it…

Ringo

I’ve told this story to some of you privately, but I still think it’s funny.  So Imma tell it again here publicly.

My pair of ducks are no longer with us.  This is them.  Or….WAS them…

Those ducks loved me.  Mostly because I fed them twice daily.  Unfortunately, the male was small and sickly from the jump.  It’s actually kind of surprising he lived as long as he did.

A few weeks ago, I found him dead, near the water’s edge, with the female there by his side grieving.  Assuming ducks can actually grieve.  I honestly don’t know if they can, but she followed me as I removed the male’s body and disposed of it.  And then she stuck close to the house for several days, quacking her little ass off at me.

I knew his demise meant she’d also soon go away to find a new mate, which apparently she now has.  I haven’t seen her now for a few weeks.

But while I raised them, and while I was feeding them regularly, the local squirrel population got wise to the feeding schedule, and began also showing up regularly to get their share.  One of those squirrels has a tail which has a very distinct ringed pattern.  So, of course I named him “Ringo”.

Well, since the ducks went bye bye, I’ve still been getting the sad “we’re hungry” eyes from all of the squirrels, so I’ve continued to feed them.  Yes, I’m a sucker.

Anywhoooooo…..

Ringo disappeared for a couple of weeks recently.  And I more or less thought he was goner as well.  But he showed back up a few days ago with a giant (and almost fully healed) scar across his back.  I don’t know the particulars of the incident which caused this wound, of course.  But he’s a tough little shit, apparently.

And his name is now Ringo Scarr.

Oh come on!!!!!!  It’s funny, dammit!!!!!!!

Ah, to be sixteen again, huh?

Also, is Ringo Starr a pedophile or what?????????

Some of you might recall that back when the summer solstice hit, I wrote a post featuring Summer Glau

So you should not be terribly surprised now, since tomorrow is the the autumnal equinox, the first day of Autumn sooooo….well…. yeah…

Autumn Reeser week evahbodeh!!!!!!

Oh Crap, she gon’ shoot me with a flare gun.  I hope the leaves don’t catch fire.

Enjoy…

I know that beach.  Never seen her there, however.  So, now I’m sad.

Equinox Time Fo’ Da Ladies!!!!

(see what I did there?)

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Love ya’s

We tried a few colored gels and an additional light. From the right is an L.E.D bank pointed at a hot-press bounce. Smaller L.E.D bank to the left.

Polka dot lady is going to party!

Mr. Ayo

I’d Polka her

Mr. Ayo

This is a safe space. Share with the group.

Mr. Ayo
Mr. Ayo

Chin up. You have a polka dot dress story. That’s better than not having one.

Brick Meathook

Why? It sounds like a great photo you’re proud of. Does it violate DFO nudity rules?

Brick Meathook

No, not at all! How would I know? Tell me!

Brick Meathook

Why? It sounds like a good story. I wanna hear it. Who was the other person?

Brick Meathook

Nah. Tell it here, to the world. Liberate yourself. Own it. Make it yours. Be succinct.

Brick Meathook

Bullshit. I’ve been there. You’re not hurting anyone. Tell the story, and make it funny. Seriously. But tell it here. Shit, maybe only five people will actually read it. Fuck ’em.

Brick Meathook

yeah but you mention it publicly but then say you can’t talk about it. Just tell it. Jump into the cold pool.

Brick Meathook

this is a great video

Beerguyrob

I’m not sure if it’s live, but I’m transfixed watching West Coast absolutely destroying Melbourne in the AFL Preliminary Final.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’s live. It’s the Demons that are dead.

Brick Meathook

One ticket left!
comment image

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I assume they’ll just go down on game day

Brick Meathook

I dunno, that’s dirt cheap.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yeah, but what about the tickets?

yeah right

Quick question.
What’s the last thing you do before going to bed?

Unsurprised

Check my phone like a rat pressing a bar for a pellet.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Contemplate the meaninglessness of existence?

yeah right

The correct answer is brush your teeth.
Sheesh!

The Perth crowd is LOUD.

ballsofsteelandfury

West Coast – Melbourne just started!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ooh, I’m awake! Guess I should leave this diner and go home to watch.

ballsofsteelandfury

Or watch it on your phone and annoy the family in the next booth.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Which of you went to UCLA?
comment image

Mr. Ayo

They turned me down.

Assholes.

So did USC.

Dicks.

Also CalTech.

Jerks.

Unsurprised

Balls.

Brick Meathook

I think Balls is a Bruin. Funny, he doesn’t look Asian.

ballsofsteelandfury

Right?

Remember, it’s University of Caucasians Lost among Asians.

ballsofsteelandfury

As long as the cops don’t see my drivers license, I’m good.

ballsofsteelandfury

Me!

“It fills in all the holes, and then it gets really frickin’ hard.”

And that’s why Joel McHale made jokes about “Gold Rush”!

Just saw Brick’s post about the RAMMIT tickets. $30? Very tempting. Any of you SoCal DFOers want to make a pilgrimage?

ballsofsteelandfury

The bigger attraction is the new Food Hall next to the stadium.

Unfortunately, my Sunday afternoon is booked as I’ve got family commitments. Otherwise, i’d join you.

I’ll be at my secret society annual meeting tomorrow. It’s on Sepulveda. The handshake secret is to fold back the middle finger and tap thrice with the thumb. I guess I shouldn’t have told you that either.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Now I just have to drive up and down Sepulveda until I see a gaggle of secretive looking people

Brick Meathook

It starts in San Fernando and ends in Wilmington I think.

ballsofsteelandfury

See you there

Finally left work, took care of some stupid shit, and brought my laptop to a diner in Santa Monica. Now I want out of the social contract based on the family of five that sat down at the booth adjacent to mine (despite this place being 80% empty). People are the worst.

Senor Weaselo

I read this as “bought my laptop dinner” and was very confused.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I never even saw Her

Unsurprised

Time to start playing the real nasty porn at full volume.

2 years ago, Metallica came out with a new album. I just heard it for the first time 2-3 months ago. It’s pretty awesome.

Anyway, this song is going to be in WWE 2K19. Too bad the gameplay for the WWE games is shit.

Col. Duke LaCross

That was the heaviest cut on that record. I actually went to a midnight sale at a record store for that album. They’re one of the last bands left I’ll still do that for.

Unsurprised

I love that Oregon’s biggest problem with marijuana is that the state has too much of it, but can’t ship it out of state because an evil Keebler Elf is the motherfucking AG.

King Hippo

He hasn’t done the “weed state crackdown” he promised, but methinks that is mostly to spite Herr Fuhrer

Unsurprised

True. Idk

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I thought Oregon’s biggest problem was racism.

Unsurprised

That’s still its biggest overall problem.

King Hippo

If nothing else, watch the start of this for an entire bar full of #ThePauls supporters drunkenly belting out “We Are the Champions” after beating the Jest to go to 1-1-1:

So….. does this mean we can look forward to a post on December 21st about ariel winter?

The censors better watch out for the post about Spring Thomas.

If I were smarter, I’d make a Vernal quip that didn’t reference Vern Troyer.

That was the only good thing about New Mexico.

Utah is beer only.

Edited because I actually read the fine print. They’re going to have to start selling stronger beer in the grocery store here soon, because they’re about to quit making 3.2%.

Me: There are way too many dumb theories online that state there’s a Reptilian conspiracy theory, in that US politicians’ bodies have been taken over by–

Universe: O’RLY?

Unsurprised

Reptilians would be infinitely preferable.

I’m not trying to poke fun, but dang if your duck story didn’t give me a flashback to a certain pilot episode about another east coaster with an affinity for waterfowl.

I recall on one weblog, somebody’s handle was No Ducks For Chalky White which always made me laugh quite heartily.

What about equal time for robots?comment image

Brocky

Damn, they look weirder and weirder.

I feel bad for not keeping up on your summaries. I used to love this show, but I cant find the time for it (going 7 months without cable royally screwed up my TV viewing habits)

Why does flippy bot have a rake?

Mr. Ayo

That’s for the drones.

Brocky

..

Alright, time to see if battlebots is on demand.

Fucking drones.

Senor, you ever do any sort of write up on battle bots before the reboot?

Senor Weaselo

You mean, when I was like 10? I didn’t.

Brocky

Okay.

I remember watching bronco fight tombstone and realizing the guy who made bronco also made toro.

Gave me flashbacks

Senor Weaselo

Toro AND T-Minus!

Senor Weaselo

The best part: it WORKED. Also it’s a spinner bot.

Unsurprised

I love spinners!

Mr. Ayo

I know! That was wild.

Redshirt

Just image the other guys’ reaction. You researched the design. You spend countless time and money putting your design into an working, tangible working machine.

Your plan gets ruined by something that was bought at WalMart for about $12.

Senor Weaselo

Rebuttal: Drones are useless.

“…my opponent doesn’t represent the views of the American people.”

“…my opponent doesn’t represent the views of the American people.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Wakezilla

At one point will the American people will snap and just start attacking the political elite?

It feels like it’s about 25 years away

Unsurprised

Never.

Americans are too stupid and lazy.

King Hippo

Cattle. Except that’s insulting to the intelligence and initiative of the bovine.

Redshirt

The Second Revolutionary War?

WCS

Again, too lazy.

King Hippo

Even scarier? What if the chucklefucks really DO represent the American people, and rather well?

Humanity needs to just die out already, leave the planet to the cats.

Unsurprised

There’s no question of “If?” in my mind and experience. They do.
