Your “Spring Break For Some” Monday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Retired: (voluntarily)
    • Haloti Ngata – after 13 years with the Ravens, Lions & Eagles.
    • Max Unger –  after 10 seasons with the Seahakws & Saints.
  • Retired: (involuntarily):
    • Vontaze Burfict – after 7 years with the Bengals.
      • Actually, six years, given all the suspensions.
  • Still playing: (surprisingly)

Spring finally goddamned arrived on the West Coast yesterday, so WineWife & I decided to take the dogs for an adventure outside the city to a region known as the Sunshine Coast. So, we drove to & boarded the ferry

   

and then made our way up to a couple of rural Provincial Parks to just get out & enjoy the serenity.

  

   

Followed by some tasty beverages at a very dog-friendly establishment.

   

Spring Break has indeed sprung!

I just walked around a gas station market four times looking for SPONCH! You guys ruined me.

I think it’s time to watch the Wembley concert again. (And if you missed downloading it before, it’s been removed).

Mmm…man swirl…

Wait, what were we talking about again?

Brick Meathook

We were talking about ties for men only! . . . man-talking, power-packed patterns that tell her it’s a man’s world . . . and . . . something else. But it probably involves a great big hard cock, with a necktie around it, showing her who’s the boss.

Some days it’s just the idea that somewhere out there, someone is getting infantilly angry over the correct pluralization of “Lego” that keeps me going.

Dear DFO mailbag
My girlfriend and I broke up a few weeks ago and now she won’t talk to me to tell me why. Can you help? You’re my only hope.

Apparently, I’m “Injured my shoulder by falling asleep with it under a pillow” years old. On the bright side, I’ve only got like 50 years left of this bullshit, so that’s nice.

Eh, seems disingenuous and is an outright lie. [Holds down delete button]

“Hire me for this job already, since I’m fucking qualified, I don’t cause drama and I have ins at all of the local breweries around the office, of which there are many.”

Fucking nailed it.

Gaaaaah!
Warriors struggling against Los Spurs….

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, I’m kinda pissed off at the girl formerly known at tWLS and am about to go make it worse.
Someone talk me out of it please.

Nah, nevermind….too late. There’s a few things she needs to know before I turn and walk away for good.

Unsurprised

Do it and we’ll break your thumbs.

Redshirt

Do it, and I will go Full Republican on you. Anti-Abortion. Pro-Gun. Pro-Order 66. Pro-Death Penalty. Anti-Entitlements.

THE WORKS!!!

Horatio Cornblower

“There’s a few things she needs to know before I turn and walk away for good.”

Trust us, she doesn’t. Walk away now.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Like I said, too late.
I want to know why after all I did for her, she couldn’t find 15-20 minutes to talk to me and at least try to work this out. I’m not naive, we might not have worked it out. But she wouldnl’t even fucking try.

I want to fucking know why.

Horatio Cornblower

She doesn’t have to tell you. You don’t have to like it. You do have to respect it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Honest, I’m being respectful.
I’m venting on you guys…not on her.
But really would like to understand why she’s not even willing to talk.

Horatio Cornblower

Cool, and I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but I’ve been there and you just have to walk away.

Or drink, cry and masturbate. Got me through high school!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Doesn’t matter I think. I’m not going to get the answers I’m asking for. She’s just not capable. Which really sucks. But time for me to recognize that and run like hell.
I hope she’ll be OK. But one day, she’s going to regret not talking to me to try to work this out I think. Doesn’t matter anymore.
Have a nice night, gentlemen.

Why she’s not willing to talk?

Block her number and everything else already and be done.

I will. Right after I get an answer.

Throw some bombs man!

I’ve fallen hard for a girl way out of my league and I know it’s gonna end badly!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s very quiet in my household at the moment. Both the dog and cat are sleeping, and my wife is quietly perusing the internet. What’s the over/under on how long before she demands that I get to work on some chore or another?

rockingdog

Go sneak away and smoke some weed….

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hmm. It would be fun to see if she’d notice. But I can’t; I’ve got billable work to do.

Redshirt

Say your going to the park to walk the track. Then go to bar.

King Hippo

oh buddy, that dynamic is at least 40% of how I ended up getting divored

Me: “Hey, why do you spend so much time on your computer?”
Her: *scowls, immediately looks back at screen*
Me: *starts bookmarking rentals*

Where were you three years ago?!

King Hippo

I laughed so hard in the theatre when that happened

Dead Ninja Storage.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Papa Commander told me that he and one other guy laughed throughout that movie in the theater while everyone else was dead silent. I’ll let him know I found the other guy.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I’m just amazed that Hippo left the house.
😀

Col. Duke LaCross

No, I thought it was hilarious too. I was fifteen at the time and had snuck into the theater.

King Hippo

I am prolly the only one, but I typically enjoy the play-in round MOAR than the Final Four.

rockingdog

Ummmm is it bad if this song is one of my favorite Karaoke Songs?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Not in my opinion. Others might disagree.

Anywhoooooo…. I’ll stop being a downer now. Have a video with hot girl in it….

In honor of rockingdog’s many good funnies, here a Christian funny:

“During the Staff Meeting, the Youth Paster fell alseep. We quietly stood up, put some clothes on the chairs, snuck out and then loudly blew a trumpet.”

rockingdog

found a funny:

I hate when a couple argues in public but I missed the start and don’t know whose side I’m on.

Redshirt

Burfict was wasted talent. Any other coach with an ounce of discipline would’ve taught him how to play football without having to hurt his opponent. He played reckless; you can fix that.

Unfortunately he was doomed with the wrong coach who “Let Burfict Be Burfict”. Hopefully he saved his money.

Sunny Adventure! Cool!

theeWeeBabySeamus

So, I swallowed my pride once again today and reached out to the girl formerly known as tWLS, and I asked her if we could please talk? Please at least give it a shot and try to fix things?
I got a 3 word response a coupla hours later…

“I can’t, Mark”

Time to stop trying I guess, huh?

Damn it, tWBS! Do we have to take away your Decision Making Privileges?

Seriously, Mark. I’m sorry its over but at least you can walk away knowing you put your cards on the table.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Thanks my friend.
Today was my last try. I don’t like it, and I don’t have to like it. But it was. I’ve given her space and time. Not to mention everything I did for her and have proven how dedicated I was (past tense now) to her and her well-being. I fixed two houses for her, drove up and down the east coast multiple times, took care of her ailing mother, and was by her bedside during surgery.

If she can’t find a way to at least talk even once over the past month since our adversity began?
Then there’s no reason to continue.

*sigh*

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

To quote some words that Internet Granddaddy Ufford wrote to me one time, “Past time, yo.”

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup. But had to give it one last try to be sure.
Now I am.

That’s it, I’m moving to Vancouver.

Wait, the housing prices probably aren’t any cheaper than SoCal.

But you have large happy dogs. So I’m there.

But with that sweet USD to CAD conversion, think of how much poutine you could get, basically for free!

I do love that, but I think it’s spelled “poontang”

I named a fantasy football team after this song/video (Chardonnay and Adderall). It won a title.

/also speaking of winning, that’s Dennis’ real wife in the video, she was also the pharmacist in the “magnum dong” condoms episode (the D.E.N.N.I.S. system)

Only one more team for him to hit the cycle for the AFC East, but I doubt if that fourth team he hasn’t played for would ever sign him…

Well not with that attitude.
