Your “Thank Goodness The First Weekend Is Almost Over” Sunday Evening Open Thread

I think maybe…maybe….just maybe I drank too much yesterday during the baxetballing.

Yesterday, I had bought a 1.75 litre bottle of vodka.  And then this morning I noticed half of it was gone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ECZMvbLxg

Now….(ahem)…. In my defense, I did have family and friends over yesterday.  So it is very possible some of them got into it.  And in all honesty, I didn’t think I drank that much.  But if I did and didn’t feel drunk at any point….?  Well that’s not good, right?

So, perhaps the “tWBS needs an intervention” tag which I put on all of my posts might have just taken on a new and bigger meaning than comedy…..?

Meh, screw it.

As  My Good Friend, Scotchnaut Would Say…

Scotchnaut: Let’s get drunk on Scotch!!!!!

tWBS: No no, not that one.

Scotchnaut:  Bourbon!!!!!!

tWBS:  Nooooooo!!!!!

Scotchnaut:  Oh right, sorry….TO THE GAMES!!!!!

tWBS: THERE IT IS!!!!!

Already in progress….

  • (9)Central Florida v (1)Duke

Upcoming momentarily…

(6)Buffalo (+3.5, +115) v (3)Texas Tech – 6:10pmEDT – TV: TNT

  • Mark my words….the winner of this one will make the Final Four

(12)Liberty(+6.5, +115) v (4)Virginia Tech – 7:10pmEDT – TV: TBS

  • Who gives a fuck who wins this one?  But this is your value pick ATS methinks.  Take the castrated Turkeys and go.

(9)Oklahoma(+11.5, +120) v (1)Virginia – 7:45pmEDT – TV: TRUTV

  • Virginia will wear down the Sooners and win this one, no doubt.  But probably by 8pts or less.  Bet accordingly.

(11)thee Ohio State(+5.5, +110) v (3)Houston – 8:40pmEDT – TV: TNT

  • Cougars gon’ feast on some weird nuts.  Buckeyes I think they’re called.

(13)UC Irvine(+5, +105)  v (12)Oregon – 9:40pmEDT – TV: TBS

  • The game no one cares about (sorry SoS), in a town no one gives a shit about, and a tip time (It’s Sunday night FFS) no one gives a shit about.  Frankly, I don’t even care who wins this one.  An Anteater fighting a Duck is frankly horrifying to me.  And I’d stay the hell away from it from a betting standpoint.  But I’m still willing to look at their cheerleaders and decide.  Shall we?

M’kay.  That didn’t help.  At least not in the way I had intended.  Now I kinda care about this game.

But either way, wow, I should have gone to Irvine.  Or Eugene.  West coast is the best coast.

Meh…..We’ll call it a draw.

Like I said before, don’t bet this game.  You will lose.  Because you suck just as much as I do.

Not In Tournament

  • (6)Harvard @ (2)NC State – 7:30pmEDT – ESPNU
  • (4)Nebraska @ (1)TCU – 9:30pmEDT – ESPNU

Hey I don’t have a problem…YOU have a problem!!!!!

NHL

  • ColorAdo @ Chi**** – 8:00pmEDT – TV: NBCSN

Full Schedule

NBA

  • San Antonio @ Boston – 7:30pmEDT – TV: NBATV

…And drive safely.

Love ya’s.

I actually turned the teevee to HOCKEY so not to see Dook highlights during NIT halftime

Gratliff

Easily the most amusing part of my kid hitting puberty is how his sketch books have gone from robots and dinosaurs to resembling a deviant art profile. Gonna be a lot of fun sharing it with his prospective girlfriends in a few years

LemonJello

Are you saving the scanned files as .pdf or .jpg?

Unsurprised

Gotta go with .png. Less loss in the compression.

Alternatively, why compress? Surely they’re important enough to save in the full-color, lossless glory of TIFF or RAW

herodotus450

Someone forgot to tell Texas Tech that they weren’t playing actual buffalo.

thank fuck Opening Day is Thursday, no more reason to pretend basketball still exists as competitive sport

Hey Spam, has UC Irvine always had this many Americanized Asian girls?

SonOfSpam

Couldn’t quote numbers, but I think the general makeup of the school has been pretty consistent since I was there.

ballsofsteelandfury

Seems more UCLAish than UCLA if you know what I mean and I think you do.

SonOfSpam

Sure do – both are excellent academic institutions!

ballsofsteelandfury

Exactly!

Liborty U located in Lynchburg, subtle.

He was named for stringing up the blacks.

Somehow, the solution always comes back to rubbing a Hippo.

Marathon watching deep space nine with the boy, and Mike from breaking bad is explaining to Benjamin why he shot down his ship. It’s always fun to go through old sci fi series to see who pops up.

Gronk is retiring to play in the AAF with JFF right?

King Hippo

TRUE HIPPO(esque) FACT! My kid who just got into NC State has a friend who got into YALE…but wait-listed for West Raleigh.

blaxabbath

He must be a hell of a….women’s crew player (+ $500k)?

Horatio Cornblower

Soccer. At Yale the women’s soccer coach was the connection.

Would Hippo lie?

Hallucinate, sure. But never lie.

this may be the bestest pic I ever seen

It’s not that Zion’s such a great leaper, it’s just that he doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to head back to the ground. Ok, I’ve jumped…may as well stay up here a while.

Sorry; thought you said taco.

Mr. Ayo

Wait, half a 1.75 liter bottle of vodka a day is a problem? Since when?

King Hippo

srsly, I am gonna make COFFEE for the goddamned NIT. Think tomorrow, I will stay in bed all day wallowing in my shame

blaxabbath

I will say this about LA — there is no shortage of great food. I mean, how did you people come up with a Cheesecake Factory!?

blaxabbath

Also, I understand I was not “in” LA.

SonOfSpam

Cheesecake Factory:LA::Golden Corral:Arizona

blaxabbath

You guys got a bunch of GCs too!

SonOfSpam

Maybe, but only an Arizonan would know an oft-used abbreviation.

Any highlights of your stay here?

blaxabbath

We hit Tierra Mia Coffee. I love latin coffee. We tried to hit some ultra popular Korean BBQ place but the wait was 90min so we did another.

Else it was just dipping the baby’s toes in the Pacific and enjoying those signs that warn me I’ll get an infection if I go in the water (different beach than I put the baby in the water — Laguna vs Crystal Cove).

Mostly I was just relived the baby traveled well.

SonOfSpam

Glad it went well – next time buy some weed. For the kid of course.

blaxabbath

Friends roommate hooked that up.

SonOfSpam

My sincerest apologies for doubting you.

blaxabbath

Made it back from the OC. Gotta wash the LIBERAL off me….

Gotta get a jet engine powered leafblower to get the Arizona stank outta here.

Buffalo Bulls channeling their inner Buffalo Bills nicely.

King Hippo

and there’s like NOTHING in the Mueller report??

just kill me now

SonOfSpam

There’s nothing Barr wanted to disclose. MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE. Except there’s plenty there. Expect a leak of the full report sooner than later.

King Hippo

something useful and democracy-saving would have leaked already. I am getting square root of fuckall positive from ANYWHERE that I trust.

blaxabbath

The Barr Report! We’ve been saying it all along! The Barr Report will be the final document!

rockingdog

Found a funny:
UCI stands for University of Chinese Immigrants.

SonOfSpam

That’s older than I am. And I am old.

The less offensive acronym is Under Construction Indefinitely.

(There is, of course, some truth to the line…there is a higher percentage of Asian students there than at any other college in the country.)

rockingdog
King Hippo

I am one of the few white boys that don’t have an Asian fetish. But I does find Asian folks to be just delightful, on an interpersonal level.

/slender Latinas though…that is Hippo’s sweet spot

King Hippo

isn’t the UC system one of the places where HONKIES get a little affirmative action, because otherwise the campuses would be all Asian?

SonOfSpam

Maybe? I honestly don’t know whether that’s the case, or whether it’s just that Asian students don’t get the same affirmative action benefits as other minority students.

Horatio Cornblower

Breaking news: Rob Gronkowski has announced his retirement, according to this alert that just popped up on my phone.

This raises two questions: 1) What will the Patriots do to replace him? and 2) Why does my phone give a shit about anything related to the P*ts?

SonOfSpam

Announcing it on Instagram is quite Gronkesque.
