Your “How Many WR’s Can Fit Under a Bus?” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

It’s gets so busy at the soup kitchen in December. As the weather turns the traffic increases, so they tell me. I’ve been kicking myself for quite some time now. Why the hell have I never thought of this until now? Volunteering here was one hell of an idea. There’s a shit-ton of ‘talent’ here that no one gives any thought to. Perfect.

I do have to say that I much prefer ladling/spooning out the various fares on offer rather than wiping tables. The smell that comes off these guys when you’re bussing makes my eyes water sometimes. That’s why I prefer to dole out the mystery casserole from behind the steam tables. I get a little bit of grumbling about portion sizes here and there but lately the men and women have been well-behaved. It can’t be the season, can it?

The one fella that does give me a hard time on the regular is Gus, the dishwasher. Any time I ask him to hurry on the dishes or cutlery (this place, like most others, runs on a paper-thin budget so there’s not enough plates and forks to go ’round) he let’s loose a string of expletives. I’m not afraid of most people given my favourite ‘hobby’ but the deep scar that runs from his left eye down to the cleft of his chin speaks volumes.

It was a Sunday and I’d shooed the last of the homeless out of the place. By this time the woman-Marie-that ran the program trusted me to lock up and had given me the keys to the place. Gus was scrubbing away and the dishwater whirred and whooshed its way through the rinse and wash cycles. I grabbed a meat tenderizer and felt the heft of it my hand. The filet knife had just been sharpened earlier today. I walked up behind old Gus and let him have it on the back of his head. He slumped forward over washbasin like a rag doll and the knife went through his Adam’s Apple like butter. The blood gushed into the sink as I propped his body up as long as I could.

It still took quite a bit of time to mop up everything but all in all, I thought it was some of my best work. His body fit nicely into the plastic-lined trunk of my SUV. A short trip to the parkway and then home to celebrate. Happy Holidays, indeed.

Chargers/Steelers:

It’s so hard to measure the toughness of any San Diego squad given their postseason failures so I’m thinking that if they can take this one on the road on the east coast then the team might be onto something.

Give me what you got.

The refs didn’t catch that false start?! Bring back the Replacement Referees!

If I ever rule, I’ll make it law that if your gender-swapped FaceApp picture is hotter than you are, you’ll be forced to switch gender.

I see the Ice Bombers came back! Yay!

Found a stream for the unimpeded skate and shoot.

Yay! Ice Bombers win!

Old School Zero

So anyway, how about those… uh… new… stuffs? Anyone seen that… thing… that came out?

Doktor Zymm

I haven’t seen Hot New Movie, but I’ve heard it’s overrated

Unsurprised

At least Xmas Ape isn’t dead.

Old School Zero

Can’t have Xmas without the Xmas Ape. IT’S THE LAW.

Much like the majority of life, that missed extra point likely doesn’t matter

Chargers know the game started, yes?

Viva La Tabula Raza

May be an early night for me.

Doktor Zymm

When the ball hits you in the back? Pass interference. When balls hit you hit you in the back? Maybe rethink your life

Redshirt

In the first scenario, you’re getting paid for a ball to hit you in the back. Are you also getting paid in the later scenario?

Doktor Zymm

Maybe? It’s kind of how I picture Dee Dee Ramone’s life

If Bosa could remove BENs spine that would be great.

Knowing my luck, he’s an invertebrate.

That’s how he oozes into women’s bathroom stalls.

Nobody go in there. I, uh… opened a portal to the room temperature raw meat dimension. “Accidentally.”

“Insufficient Evidence”

HW Bush famously was quoted as saying he doesn’t remember where he was when Kennedy was killed. That’s some shandy shit.

So I learned this weekend that Nixon was in Dallas on the day Kennedy was shot too.

The Maestro

At the Pepsi convention!

JFK’s assassination is probably the most fascinating moment in history due to all the intersecting paths of powerful people.

The Maestro

The real answer, of course, was Cuba.

Why are fish cakes tastier when they have that pink swirl on them?

They…just are. Probably because that is The Way Things Should Be.

The only Manning to step foot on an NFL field this year who can accurately target an unarmed black man running thirty feet away.

Gratliff

I don’t know if it’s just because I’m more cynical or older or what, but I just really don’t give a fuck about HW dying at all.

blaxabbath

It’s valid. The Bush’s have been heavily rewarded for their service. No further appreciation necessary.

Gratliff

Also, 94. Goddamn. How old do you have to be before it’s not sad?

Doktor Zymm

He’s the last marginally competent Republican as president, so that’s about it as far as mourning

Gratliff

WE ? NEED ? MORE ? SHADY ? INTELLIGENCE ? DIRECTORS ? IN ? OFFICE ?

Not sure which ’88 campaign moment i liked more: when after the U.S. shot down a civilian Iranian airliner that he’d never apologize for the actions of America no matter what the facts were or the blatant race-baiting of the Willie Horton ad.

Unsurprised

His best ’92 campaign moment was pardoning Weinberger and the five others who could’ve gotten him sent to prison for Iran-Contra. And having the DEA entrap a 16yo kid outside the White House to justify the War on Drugs.

...

It really is amazing to see the “Bush is the exact opposite of Trump” pieces in light of those pardons because people would have a fucking conniption and scream “THIS IS NOT NORMAL” if Trump pardoned people to protect his ass

Unsurprised

I made that point yesterday. No one cares. As far as liberals are concerned, the world didn’t exist before November 8, 2016.

Gratliff

As someone who was born homeless during the early years of the Reagan era, and grew up experiencing the wrong side of trickle down economics, I’ll never understand the love affair with 80’s Republicans, but goddamn did they know how to act like bad-asses in front of a camera.

Unsurprised

People suck.

Unsurprised

That’s what is so terrifying about all the hagiographies. Eventually, the Republicans are going to elect someone as competent again and we won’t even get the benefit of Trump accidentally telling the truth sometimes like when he just admitted that our relationship with Saudi Arabia is worth too much money and influence in the Middle East to give a fuck about one dead columnist.

...

He was the former head of the CIA, so anyone thinking he wasn’t elbow deep in filth is kidding themselves.

Gratliff

CIA Director vs. Secretary of State: Which is less war criminal-y?

Unsurprised

Potato/Potato, there. It’s not like State and CIA heads actually work at odds with each other. They’re all neck deep in the same shitpile.

Doktor Zymm

Meanwhile, Dolores Umbridge isn’t even allowed to testify about Saudi Arabia, because we’ve reached that level of evil

Unsurprised

He was CIA director when our CIA-trained buddies in Chile and Argentina were following their advice and forcing relatives to rape each other, raping them with dogs and/or rats, and throwing people they hated out of helicopters.

...

So you’re saying he was an early meme innovator?

Unsurprised

Yes.

Unsurprised

The Brazilians also used those rape techniques, including on former President Lula. (This is what every dictatorship in Latin America did because we taught it to them at the School of the Americas and through hands-on instruction in those countries).

When Jair Bolsonaro cast his vote to impeach her, he dedicated it to the head of the secret police and thus the man who tortured her under the military dictatorship. That is our new Latin American partner and The Economist’s cover boy for rescuing South America from the scourge of, well, antifa.

Hope you aren’t attached to the rainforests!

Seeing liberals (and it was only liberals. Republicans seem to hate him as much as they hate McCain because both spoke out (while doing nothing of substance because they don’t actually differ ideologically) against Trump) online wash Bush’s balls during World AIDS Day of all days was a fucking kick in the nuts to a lot of people. It’s not like mourning Hitler on Holocaust Remembrance Day (Reagan would be Hitler), but it is like mourning Himmler on that day, and I am perfectly comfortably in that comparison.

Petronel

Tempo, Sergeant, tempo…pick one and stick with it, please.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t even know which team I’m hate-watching at this point

Sharkbait

So…I’ll be in France the 10th to the 12th. That’s not good…

As someone who spent *mutters high dollar value under breath* to buy nearly every Bourbon County Stout available the most interesting barrel-aged stout I’ve had this year is a small brewery that aged stout in an Islay scotch barrel.

that is halfway between Reno and Vegas. When you drive to it, you can see it in the distance, an 1 hour away. It has a decent “Ghost Tour” as well.

Dude, don’t claim raccoon unless you can back it up with hilarious broom stealing anecdotes and creepy adorable tiny people hands. Basically, unless you’re Trump but likable because you’re a trash eating urban scavenger.
