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!!!!!!
