Your “What A Load Of Garbage” Friday Evening Open Thread

I love music.  All types of music.  I sometimes get made fun of for it for what I have come to call my “eclectic” tastes in music.

Most other people just say my taste in music sucks sometimes.  And maybe that’s true.  Meh.

I especially admire good drummers.  I could watch a good drummer for hours, and sometimes even barely hear the rest of the music.

Back during the holidays, the girl formerly known as tWLS and I went to a holiday concert.  Her brother plays bass for the band who was performing, which is the only reason we went to begin with.  But the drummer was really good.  I was supposed to be there with her, for her, and to also be taking pictures of her brother and the rest of the family which was there in attendance.  Which I did.

But for a little while, I realized I was mesmerized by this drummer.  He was obviously very good, but due to the nature of the concert and the types of songs being played (Christmas Carols mostly) he was bored off his ass.  I had to giggle a little bit and then I thought….DUDE JUST GO INTO A BADASS DRUM SOLO AND FUCK ‘EM!!!!

He didn’t.

I am also a drummer, but not a very good one.  And particularly worse now because of nerve damage in my left arm and hand.  But I still sit behind my drum kit now and again just for the fun of it.  But I can’t do it very well or for very long these days.

Anywhoooooo….

One of my favourite drummers is Butch Vig.  He’s the drummer for Garbage.  They also happen to be one of my favourite bands overall, so that works out well.

Even now in his 60s, he’s a very good drummer.  But he’s more than that.  He’s actually also one of the best and most respected record producers of our era, producing acts such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins, among others.

But regarding this post….?  The problem is that I don’t find Butch Vig attractive in “that way” (no offense Butch).  And this IS Sexy Friday after all soooooo….

It’s SHIRLEY MANSON WEEK   Evahbodeh!!!!!!!

52 years old now and still hot as hell.  The pink hair is a nice touch as well.

Hubba hubba.

And look at the bright side….at least it isn’t CHARLES or MARILYN!!!!!!

NHL

  • Nashville @ Pittsburgh – 7:00pmEDT – TV: NHLN

Full Schedule

NBA

  • Indiana @ Boston – 7:00pmEDT – TV: NBATV

Full Schedule

NCAA Tournament

(3)LSU (+6, +270)  v (2)Michigan State – 7:09pmEDT – TV: CBS

  • I still say Sparty is due to lay an egg.  Might drop some coin on this one.

(5)Auburn (+5.5, +220) v (1)U*NC – 7:29pmEDT – TV: TBS

  • Stay away from this one.  I promise you the officials will not allow Auburn to win this game or stay within even 10 probably.

(4)Virginia Tech (+7.5, +345)  v (1)Duke – 9:39pmEDT – TV: CBS

  • See above.  Sorry VT, you had a good run but you’re not going knock ’em off twice.  Especially not with Zion back in the fold.

(3)Houston (+2.5, +150) v (2)Kentucky – 9:59pmEDT – TV: TBS

  • Hmmmmmmm….now that is tempting.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Love ya’s.

I don’t think so; they are hanging normally.

Back to the barn, hayseeds. Thanks for nothing.

A LARGE part of Kryzlonski’s success is derived from his ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE that every one of his opponents for all of time will throw ridiculous three point shots at the basket when only one or two points are necessary. It really is that simple.

How did they miss that?

Gonna be a proud moment for Zion’s family when he walks the aisle in cap and gown to receive his Duke degree in comparative literature in 2023.

Looks like Va Tech’s strategy of shooting 60% from 3-pt range is paying off as well as you’d expect.

Horatio Cornblower

Zion Williamson is allowed to throw elbows now? Cool. Cool.

CBS lost U*NC/Kenfucky, they ain’t gonna lose Sparty/K

Paul Goldschmidt had the chance to hit his FOURTH homer of the game, 9-5 in the 9th. And that Counsell twerp WALKS HIM.

Hellboy was made in 2004. Do we really need a remake in 2019?

Horatio Cornblower

I shit you not, our outdoor cat is a slightly fluffier version of the undead cat in the remake.

Probably has a worse attitude though.

Horatio Cornblower

Do I want them? Yes.

Is that my mother’s birthday? Also yes. Have to pass. Some lines can’t be uncrossed.

Horatio Cornblower

I mean, have you seen the “Orioles” this season? I’ll admit I have a soft spot for them, (the first girl I ever had sex with was a) disappointed and b) an Orioles fan), but Jesus Christ, that line-up would go 90-72 in AAA.

Roasting veggies and cooking sausage on the stove. The American way.

Horatio Cornblower

“The American way”

You’re paying a Mexican $3.58 an hour to do it?

Horatio Cornblower

Just had a local ad for a law firm who, the last time I tried a case against them, I beat their guy so bad that the attorney quit.

It’s funny until I realize they make at least twice what I do.

King Hippo

You come up with a clever criminal enterprise for law-talkin’ guys? Hippo is all ears.

Horatio Cornblower

No, I just wrecked him in front of a jury so badly that he left and went to another firm. The only criminal enterprise for law-talkin’ guys up here in CT is an epidemic of “not paying your taxes.” Two attorneys I have done a ton of work with over the last 20+ years are either doing time or just got out of prison for not paying. Not sure how anyone thinks that’s a good idea. I mean, lie on your taxes, sure, you could be elected president. But just not paying them? Use a little subtlety.

Brick Meathook

I was once acquitted so tremendously in Federal District Court that the U.S. Attorney opened the window and leapt to his death, and the judge, a distinguished man in his mid 60s, told me that he was renaming all three of his adult sons “Brick” in my honor. The court clerk blew me.

Horatio Cornblower

The well known Federal District of Niagara Falls? Yeah, I had a girlfriend who was a court clerk up there. You wouldn’t know her beca…

That may as well be the Duke motto.

Probably too much to ask to have UNC and Duke lose within three hours of each other, but I’m still gonna sacrifice this goat, just to be sure.

We’re legit cooking 8 lbs of corned beef tomorrow for a party, so feel free to stop by!

If there was any road trip worth doing it was for the free garbage bags of weed by Balls’ place.

This is true.

And your address is….?

Horatio Cornblower

Hippo, the people I hang out with out here will, I promise you, out redneck anyone in Carolina. Hunting? Check. Fishing? Check? Guns? Fuck and yes. Bama football and Nick Saban is a god? Roll Damn Tide.

Eastern CT is an odd place.

Horatio Cornblower

True, but from your comments regarding them you and my wife could sit down and have a long ass chat.

Just keep your hands where I can see ’em.

I may have had too much to drink.

I have a Hutchens related comment stored in my brain, (it’s a dark place, with a lot of creepy-ass puppets), waiting for just the right moment.

Nah, Gurk! was a one and done.

Naps are good for you.

First half foul shots should just be gimmes.

He one and done? Has Duke ever had one of those?

King Hippo

Duke’s “1 year bachelors” program is just around the corner

Horatio Cornblower

Started with Elton Brand. Or whatever the fuck his name was. Made a lot of NBA money but was never all that good.

Which pretty much sums up Duke players.

Dunno. Tech looks like they want a piece.

Tech looks all gritty. Fucking wu tang out here.

Got lucky and scored the 9 a.m. game slot for kiddo soccer. I’m assistant coach! My spirit animal is Bill Murray in Meatballs.

King Hippo

I got roped into HEAD coaching my kid one year, b/c coach’s kid got hurt, he quit on the spot, and I was only one dumb enough to admit ever having coached anything (little brother, el beisbol)

Fronkenshteen

We got the U-8 coed kiddos. Adorable. 5 v 5 with no goalies. Small field, small nets. Bored teen referees. Golf chairs akimbo. Paradise, really. Cant wait to get fresh oranges in the morning to quarter and bag for my young charges. We may not win much, but no team will have more fun.

King Hippo

mine was 9-10 or 10-11 coed

TRUE HIPPO COACHING FACT! I had to set up a penalty kick lineup after “added time” in the playoffs. I was ridiculous with how I attempted to infuse strategery into it.
