Your “Keep On Truckin'” Friday Evening Open Thread

I have no idea what to talk about, so I’m just going to talk about the good things which happened this week, because I’ve been an insufferable prick the past few weeks (trust me, I know that), and have been bitching about everything.  Sooooooooo….

First and foremost….

DAVE IS HOME!!!!!!!!!

He was kidnapped by Michael Jordan for about a week (yes, some of you will get that joke, some of you will not).

But MJ managed to not pawn him to pay gambling debts.

tWBS (upon picking Dave up from MJ):

But Dave is back home now.  And with a bright shiny new ass which is once again dent-free (unlike his owner’s).

Now, if I can manage to stay out of the RDU Airport parking lots, all should be fiiiinnnnne….

My Cat Didn’t Die Yet

I honestly don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.  But for now, she’s just really tired.  But she’s not in pain.  So that’s a good thing.

I don’t think she’ll make it through the weekend.  But then again, I didn’t think she’d make it through overnight last night.  She’s a tough little shit.  This is her in happier times…..

– Go Away Human –

That’s from Christmas, three years ago, after she’d more or less taken over the Christmas tree.  Which she does every year, anyway.

This Week in DFO

Everyone did some really great stuff this week, just like every week.  And honestly, I can’t pick a favourite this week.  Because all of you worked your asses off the whole week.  But for me, the thing I enjoyed the most was the annual Hallowe’en stories.

But no lie, you guys killed it this year, no shit.  So while there is no particular individual who gets Employee of the Week this week, I want to say how much I appreciate the….

And while it might sound like I’m being flippant here, I am not.  I assure you.

The only way this website, this community (this family really because that’s really what we are) continues to flourish is with everyone’s help.  Everyone’s input.  Everyone’s voice.  All of you are appreciated for the time and effort you put in to keep this place running.

Because, simply stated, without all of you it just wouldn’t be the same place.  It wouldn’t be the place I’ve come to love.

Thank you all, for all you do.

Team Sports 2Nite

First, congrats to the Boston Red Sox, your 2018 World Series Champions.

Yes, I do feel a little dirty for having just said that.  But as much as I hate those assholes, they did kick some serious ass.  I can admit it…

Doesn’t mean I LIKE it.  I hate those assholes (have I mentioned that already?).

But I do have to give them credit.  Even if it did hurt a little bit to do so.

Now on to the rest….

The University of Maryland Is A Shithole

I’ve been trying to tell people this for years.  If you haven’t seen it, go search it.

Right damned now.

Don’t get me wrong.  I grew up in Maryland.  And thus I have friends who went there.  Decent people.  But as an institution, both academically and athletically, that place is a shithole and should be razed from the planet.  I mean even if only for this kinda shit….

I hope they get everything that’s coming to them, buncha nasty sumbitches.

And you shut up Boomer Esiason.  It’s not like it’s my fault you went there to play for that shithole.

You can suck it too, Neil O’Donnell, you damned shitmonkey.

In Dave’s Honour

I know a lot of you think I’m insane and that I really believe my truck is “alive”, due to some of the fiction I’ve written on DFO.  Well, tough shit.

HE IS ALIVE DAMMIT!!!!!

In all seriousness, however, alive or not (he is) I do love my truck.  For the week he was gone, it really was like a little piece of me was missing.  So in honour of his homecoming, this week we’re doing Sexy Girls and Cars!!!!!!

Enjoy…..

DAMMIT I JUST WAXED THAT!!!!

And so much for the “New Car Smell” I guess.  smgdh.

OK, that’s all I got this week.

Everybody stay safe and have a good weekend.  And don’t forget to turn your clocks back before you go to bed tomorrow.

You wouldn’t want to miss the first quarter and a half of shitty football on Sunday.

Love ya’s.

Absolutely. Apparently many pearls were clutched regarding this episode. From IMDB:

“A Touch of Brimstone” may perhaps be the most (in)famous episode of them all, pruned before airing in Britain, and banned outright in America, one of five black and white Emma Peel shows that failed to air during the 60’s.

I guess the question I’m asked the most often is: “When you were sitting in that capsule listening to the count-down, how did you feel?” Well, the answer to that one is easy. I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of two million parts — all built by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Stupid sexy astronauts.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I always felt that way when I had to fly overseas on a DoD contract airliner and the name of the airline was “Bob’s Airline” or “We Built It Ourselves” and the air waitresses were all at least 70 years old.

Heaven has a wall, a gate and a strict immigration policy. Hell as open borders. Let that sink in.

“You’re right, we should vote for a better Satan next election! Wait…”

Heaven was created by awful dipshits

No Heaven is like America. Its was created by Saints and Angels until some dipshits thought they could do it better.

Fuck it. My opinion doesn’t matter.

Pretty sure that already happened.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I do not think most of the people who believe that heaven is real (and has a strict immigration policy) would do very well in the interview part of their visa application.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Probably wouldn’t hold up very well in the background check portion either, if their facebook/text message/twitter history was in play.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also, hell *doesn’t* have an open border policy, because once you’re in it’s not exactly easy to get back out. Besides that, has nobody ever heard of the River Styx, or Cerberus?

I have a stomach bug. Which is actually GOOD news, as I was in such agony earlier that I thought maybe I was passing a stone instead.

Vice pulled an article they had up which was the most hipster, millennial crap I had ever read.

The title….

What It Feels Like to Be Disenfranchised by a Voter ID Law
I had a birth certificate, a photo ID, and utility bills proving my residency. But Tennessee decided that wasn’t good enough.

When I was preparing to vote in 2016, my wife and I were living in north Nashville while I was playing football at Vanderbilt University. We registered to vote—that went off without a hitch, because Tennessee has online voter registration.

So dipshit registered to vote in Tenn…

We found that very convenient and we didn’t really think too much more of it. We had valid Georgia IDs, and assumed we could use those at the polls to satisfy Tennessee’s voter ID law.

He is a resident of fucking Georgia.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait…did the utility bills prove his residency in Tennessee, or Georgia? Because I would think the utility bills should be enough to prove that he lived at the address in Tennessee, and the Georgia ID’s would prove that he was the person listed on the utility bill. That *should* be enough. Unless he’s unwhite, of course, in which they’ll think of some other bullshit reason to prevent him from voting (perhaps he said his name too loud and the poll worker “felt threatened” so she called the police).

Unsurprised

If his license is valid, he’s legally a Georgia resident and can’t vote in Tennessee.

Unsurprised

HE SHOULD WANT TO VOTE FOR GEORGIA’S GOVERNOR ANYWAY!

So he’s not just entitled, but an utter fucking idiot.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Depends on the state as to who is a legal resident. It says nothing about how long he’s been in Tennessee and and if he has taken up residence there. Sure if his actual residencyy is in Georgia, fine. The whole fucking point is it should be easier, if not automatic to vote once you turn 18 or become a resident in another state. Bitching and moaning about who is bitching and moaning is ignoring the mass purging of voter rolls and other devices used to limit voting among groups that won’t be voting for the party in power at the time.

Unsurprised

I agree. There is a valid point about how stupid and shitty voting laws are across the country.

However, JSD is right. This is a terrible format to express it when there are plenty of people being disenfranchised who have done nothing that could even remotely bring their eligibility into question that they could’ve talked to – especially if they were black and that’s the only reason why they’re being disenfranchised since there are tens of thousands of people fitting those two criteria whose story a reporter could and should tell.

Instead, Vice went with some lazy ‘me me me’ navel-gazing bullshit because it’s Vice.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’d suggest reading the article before pronouncing summary judgement. They are resents of Tennessee. The article was not “pulled”, it was corrected. The voter ID laws are meant to suppress different aspects of society, one which this individual belongs.

JustStopDude

I thought it was pulled. I swear to god I tried to find it again to re-read it because I read it this afternoon and wanted to be sure I got it right.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They may have just added the correction.
