I’ve never made it a secret that The Kinks are my favourite band and the first concert I ever attended. It’s the 50th anniversary of this album, and the $160 vinyl box set that came out is on my Christmas wish list the second it gets transferred to digital or CD.

I say we just lean in to the SEC ball gargling and award the winner of this game the “National Championship.” Then the rest of us play out the season and playoffs without them.

Contrary to street wisdom; it’s actually delightful, when distribution experiences unexpected problems, to in fact, get high on your own supply.

Burrow looking like a regular Tom Brady out there, complaining to the refs after every play.

yeah right

If you could stare through that stupid hill, that’s the Pacific Ocean about 3/4 miles to the West. Taken through an upstairs bedroom window.

I think the screen gives the photo a nice linear symmetry.

Taken about 12 minutes ago.

My day so far:

– woke up 7:45
– watched 1st half Cherries/ Manure
– showered & headed for Young Fronk’s soccer game
– 11:00 -drove to Blacksburg to purchase automobile
– 3:00 – briefly visited Blacksburg relatives
– 4:00 – 7:00 Drove home from Blacksburg
– 7:00 – 7:30 Got real REAL high
– 8:00 – 9:00 ordered takeout & had drinks at the joint where I work
– now – checked in

How’s everyone’s GAMBLOR!? That fucker still ornery? I’m all in ($3worth. Who-hoo!) on Fitzmagic tomorrow.

And literally as I say it, here comes the yellow boxes. Now I know what it’s like for those people I work with that tell me it didn’t work until I stood right next to them and watched it work.

oh well, I guess maybe Bama/Dabo! will be a good game?

ESPN.com’s featured highlight for the Shitty Wolves ™ game is a fucking FSU score! For the record, they got a last minute garbage TD to cut the final margin to 47-28.

They made Spongebob for a reason, and that reason was narcotics, but it also happens to be great for distracting children.

changed navy/purplish shirts, trying to mojo LSU and Duke as hard as this simple rebel fella can

“After reviewing the Targeting Penalty, the Louisiana State Patrol cannot guarantee us safety if you guys rush the field to kill us. Therefore there is no targeting on LSU.”

Guess the refs decided that they wanted to leave LSU alive.

and they would have deserved the bottle rain otherwise, I was hoping full riot

Allright looks like we’re gonna have to change gears from “Alabama sucks and they haven’t played anyone so this win means nothing for LSU” to “LSU is overrated so this win means nothing for Alabama who still sucks.”

1
Horatio Cornblower

Bama’s great, I just can’t stand Killjoy Saban.

0
herodotus450

I just reeeeeeaaaly don’t want to see two SEC teams in the playoffs. Probably wouldn’t watch it.

0
King Hippo

this is how I feel about ND plus B1G champion

1
herodotus450

No one in the Big 10 looks worthy, maybe meeechigan. An SEC rematch in the playoffs though… barf.

0
King Hippo

way I see it, Domers barely belong even at 12-0, and they beat Meechigan pretty easily. Though they’ve looked better lately. Still would like to see WVU or Washington State in there just for the chaos.

0
Redshirt

I just didn’t like everyone’s reaction to it last year. Like “Alabama is obviously the 4th best team, even though last week they wasn’t”.

1
King Hippo

but they was (actually, I had them 2nd or 3rd)! My argument remains you can’t shit on them for losing last, especially when their last was the highest quality one.

0
King Hippo

marquee game of the season, they will throw LSU’s best defender out of it for a CLEAN PLAY

0
King Hippo

that’s an ATROCIOUS call

0
yeah right

Even though it’s been mentioned before, folks take care of your knees.

Jesus, my knees are killing me today.

Where my CBD at?

0
Horatio Cornblower

There are two reason I stopped running outside and confine my cardio to an elliptical, and they are my left and right knees.

1
yeah right

I hear you brother. This sucks.

0
Gratliff

I actually had to stop using my elliptical because it was giving me really bad plantar fascia every time I’d do it after about 6 months. I replaced it with walking an hour or so a day during spring and summer, but sort of fucked now with the freezing wind chills already.

0
yeah right

I still walk 5 miles 3 days a week and still hit the gym 3 days a week. I did the gym today, there are no “leg” days lately and I’m getting ripped from the weights.

This is the side effect and it’s horrific.

I will not let it stop me period.

Now excuse me while I go cry in pain.

0
Gratliff

I still do my 40-60 min workouts 6 days a week, but I’m not doing any straight cardio at this point. Since the cold weather came in, I added a 15 minute faster-paced core routine to the shorter days and lie to myself by calling it good enough.

1
Gratliff

I’m in the best shape of my life, as strong and flexible as I’ve ever been, and I worked my way back from borderline diabetic to ideal in a single year. I ran as far as 50 yards one (1) time this summer, and it took 2 weeks for my left knee to recover and I’ll probably never try it again. Shame there’s no exercise that builds cartilage.

3
yeah right

I still can’t endorse glucosamine even though I’ve been taking it for years.

My shit still hurts so I can’t say it’s doing any good.

0
Gratliff

It’s depressing thinking about taking arthritis supplements/medications in my mid-30’s, but I did destroy that knee I was 18 in a nearly identical fall to what RG3 did, only instead of it being a heroic effort in a playoff game, mine was running in the house in socks. Like this, but my knee went all the way down into a cement floor: comment image

Ended up with partial muscle, ligament, and tendon tears the entire length of my leg, though luckily no full tears or breaks. So being 18, I went to the doctor exactly one time after arguing I didn’t need to go at all, sat around in a brace for a few months, fucked about and didn’t rehab it at all, and just relied on youthful healing factor to take care of it for the most part. Folks, mistakes were made.

1
yeah right

Fucking ouch.

I’d like to see them play bridge against the Alvin brothers, from the Blasters.

yeah right

Or the Gallagher brothers from Oasis.

Or the Robinsons from Black Crowes.

“Jafar Armstrong” sounds like the fake name Arnold would make up in a movie where he has to murder someone in Saudi Arabia.

0
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I bet as we speak some asshole member of the Saudi royal family is bankrolling a film where the villain is some kind of journalist.

1
herodotus450

Saudi Prince watching dailies: “No no no, it’s all wrong, there’s not enough blood! What am I even paying you for!”
Director: “Well actually you’re paying me in ‘not murders’ of my family. How do you know there should be more blood?”
Saudi Prince: “Just trust me, there should be way more blood and the saw blade needs to be replaced three of four times and you need to make sure the security cameras are down for maintenance at the time.”

1
yeah right

“We’re going to need a bigger vat of acid!”

I’m pretty sure they just made that movie, however unwittingly.

I’m always fascinated by those bullet-headed state troopers (who almost always wear campaign hats) who stand on the sidelines during big college football games.

Nah, Carr has trade value. With the deadline past there’s no way he’s going anywhere this season.
