Your “Is It A Catch?” Friday Evening Open Thread

It’s Conference Championship Weekend, folks.

There will be bad calls.  There will be delays for video reviews.  And you will be pissed off.  And maybe a little drunk.

Well….maybe more than a little.

When the smoke clears, the Rams and Chiefs will still be standing.

I think….but don’t quote me on that.

Tell ’em what’s up, Tyreek!!!!!!

How about you Pat?

Pat and Tyreek gon’ have ‘demselves a ring in a few weeks.  Trust me.

(don’t trust me)

Conference Championship Sunday

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve always preferred Conference Championship Sunday to Superb Owl Sunday.  The reasons are simple.

  1. Two games.
  2. Better games.
  3. No 8 hour pre-game shows.
  4. No hour long halftime shows.
  5. No non-football fans fucking things up with their stupid ass parties.

It really is that simple.

I’d feast on that like Andy Reid out back at the KFC dumpster.

Take the Chiefs, give the points in this one.

**Disclaimer:  DO NOT take tWBS’ betting advice.  You will lose more often than not.

Trophies Will Be Taken

When I first saw that backdrop, I thought it said “Turbolaxative”.  Which doesn’t seem fun whatsoever.  Maybe even a little painful.

Meh.

Yeah, I know, you were expecting “We Are The Champions”.  But I zagged when you though I was gonna zig.

Have a great weekend, everyone.  Pace yourselves.

Love ya’s.

VLAD THE IMPALA

Viva La Tabula Raza

I stole that from an out of state Impala owner, not proud, but ALL Impalas should be named Vlad. Also, get to weed out the uneducated. “Who’s Vlad? Putin?”

Edit: To clarify, stole the name, not the license plate…

The Vette is pretty mellow, has mild camshaft, stock exhaust manifolds and mufflers. Impala has radical cam, headers and big flow mufflers, sounds like a fucking Harley Davidson on steroids.

found a funny:

*JOB INTERVIEW*

INTERVIEWER: So under “Qualifications” you put “Steppin’ on that white, turning 5 bricks to 10.”

ME: Whoopsie, that should be under “Skills.”

Brick Meathook

So the little ten year old boy just jumped through security at the England Airport so he could tell a ten year old girl he loves her.

In a real country like America that little motherfucker would have been shot twenty times in the back.

ballsofsteelandfury

You gotta remember that he’s white.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yeah, they only do that to black boys here. Although if the girl was black they would have beat the shit out of her for good measure.

Holy shit. This Fyre Festival doc on Netflix is beyond insane. Worth the time for the water story alone.

Just one question, literally everyone involved, from the mastermind to the organizers to the “influencers” (I get the douchechills just typing that word) to the attendees, they’re all the first ones up against the wall when the class war starts, right?

I’m thinking nazis, but you have different priorities I guess.

Col. Duke LaCross

They’re in a class of their own.

Unsurprised

Not all the attendees. Some of them are just dumb kids who saved up all year for that and they got fucked. Same with all of these dumb festivals. I should add that I assumed so too but I was corrected by my brother, who has been most of these things and took a job going to Fyre Festival. However, he got stuck in Miami and ended up just taking photos of the models he took with him there. A lot of people knew from the beginning that it was going to be a disaster, but that was the appeal to him (so long as he didn’t have to pay to go there) to cover it like he was HST or something.

Anyway, most of the attendees suck. But there has to be a vetting process. Everyone else, though, I’d also accept them being buried alive in a mass grave.

The Barrett-Jackson car auction on MotorTrend channel has a show description of “Sports, Auto, Series.” So I guess I AM watching sports tonight.

Spur

classic Camero or Mustang?

Viva La Tabula Raza

Me? 1964 Corvette Roadster and 1965 Impala Super Sport. Camaros and Mustangs and Chevelles are like belly buttons. Corvettes are pretty much that way too, which is why I am selling mine (after 42 years, the thrill is gone).

I see Ben Shapiro has dumbfucked his way back into the nightly conversations, but at least it means everyone gets to test out their new material.

I saw that video. At least they gave him a high-chair to sit on so he could see over that table.

Finally saw Unbreakable just in time for Split to be pulled from every streaming service. I love how having instant access to tens of thousands of films somehow still ends with me having to track down and pay for the one thing I want to watch a la carte.

Brick Meathook

This movie just shifted to Milwaukee Wisconsin, although it’s like a space alien’s conception of Milwaukee Wisconsin based on very limited information.

King Hippo

everyone thin instead of just the homeless?

Brick Meathook

A New York cabbie took the English dweeb from the Milwaukee “airport” (which was clearly the exterior of a hotel) and took him to the Playboy mansion disguised as a “bar.” He ordered a “Budweiser.”

King Hippo

yeah, that don’t seem right

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m so happy you’re watching this.

Brick Meathook

Before today I had only heard the title of this movie but knew nothing else about it. I have received an education thanks to you, Balls.

Ian Scott McCormick

Nets erase 21 point deficit. Win. Are on a 16-5 run and above .500 for the first time this year.

King Hippo

fucking a! You know you deserve 80% of the credit, right?

/other 20% for that dude who draws on his shoes

Ian Scott McCormick

I have slowly gotten my office and my dad to admit they’re legit. I realize most of you are out of market and most don’t give a rat’s ass about the NBA, but if you have the YES Network or know a guy with League Pass, give them a watch. They’re rolling, but I swear to God they’re entertaining either way. The ball keeps moving, they play with energy. I’m not going to be a “play the right way” dork but they are a legitimately fun team to watch.
And yes, they’ll probably get bodied by a better team in the playoffs. Fine. Whatever. Sometimes you do get out talented. But so long as you accept that they will not win it all and embrace the futility, they are a lot of fun to watch, as corny as that sounds.

King Hippo

I actually DO get YES, but I wonder if the live games is blacked out (el beisbol are). Have found myself looking for the scores, though.

Will be interesting how they re-integrate the injured star now that the side has learned to play without him.

Ian Scott McCormick

I think it’ll be a good problem to have. Might stumble for a few games, but they’ll need the extra talent if they’re thinking playoffs.

Senor Weaselo

I end up seeing them on and thinking “Wait, this isn’t Homegrown.”

/As opposed to the LI Nets version of Homegrown that now exists?

2. The evil fiance in the fantasy novelization of Love Actually?
3. An actual NHL player currently playing for the Flames?

So I read that review of Love Actually by Balls and you know what? I had to rent it. I had to see it after reading those descriptions. I’m watching it right now! I’ve made it through the whole “5 Weeks To Christmas” segment and I literally hate every single person in this movie. I even hate the extras.

Huh. I always thought your whole RRRRAAAMMMIIITT thing was referencing Frank Zappa “Broken Hearts are for Assholes.” Learn something new everyday.

You say you can’t live with what you been through
Well, ladies you can be an asshole too
You might pretend you ain’t got one on the bottom of you,
But don’t fool yourself girl

It’s lookin’ at you
Don’t fool yourself girl
It’s winkin’ at you
Don’t fool yourself girl

It’s blinkin’ at you
That’s why I say
I’m gonna ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute

Corn hole
Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Fist fuck

Ram it, ram it, ram it
Ram it up yer poop chute
Wrist-watch; Crisco
Ram it, ram it, ram it

Ram it up yer poop chute
Pud!

Don’t fool yourself, girl
It’s goin’ right up yer poop chute
Don’t fool yourself, girl
It’s goin’ right up yer poop chute
(etc., repeats)

Aw, I knew you’d be surprised…
