Your “God’s Flashlight” Sunday Evening Open Thread

So, against my better judgement, I tied one on last night after the family left. After all, I was already part-way there, so why not finish the job right?

A good time? Of course. Worth it? Debatable. At least there are no visible bruises or scars, and to the best of my knowledge no reputations were further maligned. But boy, was I shaky whilst taking stock & trying to brush my teeth.

It’s been about a decade since I tied one on to the point that people considered an intervention.

Of course, I answer to a woman who is used to this occasional behaviour, and since I wasn’t going on about life or ex-girlfriends, she seemed quite willing to leave me on the couch.

   

Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • no game scheduled; Gary Butthole though a 3:00PM start was a better idea
  • NBA:
    • 76ers at Raptors – 7:00PM | TNT / Sportsnet
  • MLB:
    • Brewers at Cubs – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN
  • MLS Soccer:
    • D.C. United vs. Sporting KC – 7:00PM | FS1 / TSN2
  • NCAA:
    • College Lacrosse: Johns Hopkins at Notre Dame – 8:00PM | ESPNU

I’m totally doing it again,

just not anytime soon.

What in the hell did I just watch?

Is it possible to love a show and hate every character on it?

Unsurprised

Yes

Unsurprised

I want to say … every series I’ve watched since moving here? So Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Archer, The Americans, GoT, Westworld, Counterpart, The Leftovers, American Gods, Taboo, Brockmire, True Detective, uh …

It’s easy to just say the only characters I don’t hate are Richard Splett from Veep, Mary Berry from The Great British Baking Show, and oddly enough, almost everyone on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I don’t really watch much TV. I also haven’t watched Barry since I’m waiting to binge it after season 2 ends in two weeks.

MANY more.

Are all y’all motherfuckers tucked in early with aforementioned mothers tonight?

I’m just now d/l tonight’s GoT while playing NHL 19 on Xbox. I will add to these spoilers/opinions when I get done watching it.

Unsurprised

I’m here. I’m just boring.

I was hoping for “Sic balls!” but this is also great.

What’s this about God’s Fleshlight?

ALXMAC

I said the same and just figured we switched to sponsored #content like adam and eve dot com

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah, I saw and tipped my Fleshlight to you

Automatic +1 for any and all Doors references.

Unsurprised

I started writing that email I mentioned in Sunday Gravy. It is super long and now I’m trying to edit it down into something coherent.

Unsurprised

It’s five pages, 2,900 words, long. I wasn’t even done. I just put it away for GoT. I am wordy.

Unsurprised

Oh, the weirdest part is that this is a positive email. I’ve just been in a real funk whenever I sit down to write it because I’m weird.

yeah right

2900 words is Sunday Gravy appropriate.

Unsurprised

In this case, it’s at least 2,000 words too long.

Unsurprised

Honest to God, you have to be inhuman trash to be on the same side of any argument as John Bolton and Elliot Motherfucking Abrams. They are demons.

Horatio Cornblower

Absolutely vicious fight on FS1 right now if you like boxing.

And if you don’t like boxing, it’s still on.

Horatio Cornblower

Cracked open another beer and I am going full in on Games of Throne twitter.

My client meeting tomorrow morning is going to be hellacious.

yeah right

This needs more plus ones.

Horatio Cornblower

Agreed. Very well-played.

ArmedandHammered

I read that headline as “God’s Fleshlight” and was afraid to read tonight’s post because that really was not a good way to refer to the “Virgin” Mary.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Guess I was late to the cockparty

Horatio Cornblower

Holy shit. I’m not sure how GoT can get any worse this season, but I am sure as shit tuning in next week to find out!

Ned Stark comes back with a scar on his neck and complaining about a headache? Sure, what the hell!

Dany realizes the error of her ways and hangs herself? I mean, they ripped off the bit in the Bible about the pale horse, so why not the Aaron Hernandez biography while they’re at it?

Dany is visited by three ghosts, all of whom are Joran Mormont begging her to let him out of the past, present, and future friend zones? I am all in at this point fuckers; do your absolute worst.

Jon puts together an army of wererabbits who can multiply faster than the Dothraki apparently did after all but 7 of them disappeared in that charge into the army of the undead? FUCKING GO FOR IT YOU ASSHOLES!!!!

herodotus450

It’s like the Trump of tv show seasons. There’s no depth of insanity you can come up with that also doesn’t seem very likely to happen.

Unsurprised

Let the hate flow through you.

Gratliff

Nice use of the Trial theme from season 6 finale

Gratliff

45 minutes of war criming seems excessive

blaxabbath

Ain’t no spot for you in the Bolton advisory circle.

Wakezilla

If anyone thinks there’s no physicality in today’s NBA, they should watch Game 7 between the hardcourt Argos and Hardcourt Eagles. I haven’t seen that many fouls not get called since the famous Looney Tunes/Mon-Stars game back in ’96.

nomonkeyfun

/1980’s Big East knocks player into next state and stares off into the distance looking innocent.

Wakezilla

Better that than constant Tavares injury updates as the head story or speculation of Erik Karlsson signing with the Leafs

Col. Duke LaCross

The Qyburn scene made me laugh like a maniac though.

ballsofsteelandfury

Is it Game Of Thrones time yet?

Game Time Decision

Is that dragon o’clock or killin time?

Unsurprised

KILLIN’ TIIIIIME

Gratliff

Fuck core character traits, amirite

Horatio Cornblower

“My nephew won’t fuck me so I’mma kill thousands of innocents with fire to get off, I guess.”

Unsurprised

Perfectly normal. Perfectly healthy.

The Maestro

Between Kawhi Leonard and dragonfire, I’m not sure there’s ever been a more dramatic Sunday.

ballsofsteelandfury

So… that was a finish…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Unfuckingbelievable.

Gratliff

Now balanced from the double doink missed FG

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Seriously, I guess DOINK was bored during the NFL offseason.

Senor Weaselo

Bolts are out, remember he’s a big Stamkos fan?

Senor Weaselo

As all things must be.

...

Just saw this.

QUADRUPLE HAPPY DOINK

herodotus450

Looking like this week’s worth of “Here’s what sucked about this episode of GoT” posts will be even better than last weeks.

...

I have no strong opinion about GoT and no interest in watching the show, but I’m rooting for a terrible finale just to see the takes.

herodotus450

There were some leaks a while back which outlined the rest the season, and they are hilariously bad. And now it seems like they are all coming true. Soap operas have more coherent and believable plots. Spanish soap operas that you only watch through subtitles which have been translated through 14 other languages to get to english.

Unsurprised

I’m pretty sure D&D wrote this season to fuck with HBO, the fans, and the world

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, I think when HBO told them they were pulling the plug D&D made a suicide pact with the devil to come up with the worst ever ending for a series.

Gratliff

The Toronto Kawhi Leonards pull it off

...

ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts are terrible because its producer assume everyone watching thinks baseball is boring and insists upon packing the broadcast with bullshit to compensate.

...

All the “let’s be serious for a moment about Venezuela” segment was awful and despite being overtly political won’t be considered as such by the masses of “buhhh I don’t wanna have politics in muh sports” crowd because it catered to every preconception they hold.

herodotus450

Wait what’s wrong with Fernando?

theeWeeBabySeamus

comment image

...

Folks, Fernando is good and ESPN agrees

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am not well-informed about Venezuela. Is there actually any faction worth rooting for?

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes, the people.

Senor Weaselo

Well what have the people ever done for ‘Murica?

nomonkeyfun

Well what have the people ever done for ‘Murica?

Well, they gave us former Cincinnati Reds Co-Captain Dave Concepcionm

...

Like any aspect of international politics, it’s complicated but whatever the American take is isn’t the whole story and you’ll be hard pressed to find anything else on any major news outlets to refute it.

herodotus450

Depends. Are you a fan of hyperinflation or a fan of oil?

herodotus450

Trick Question! Those are both the same side! I think!

...

I LOVE OIL

Mr. Ayo

I don’t want to judge people based on one incident (or) two incidents,

Flores said.

About a guy arrested three (3) times just this year. The NFL continues to deliver.

Senor Weaselo

That, by math, is more than one or two!

Gratliff

Kawhi Leonard is the only reason this series didn’t end in 4 games

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am rooting for Philadelphia to win, because it will be funny to see the Raptors flame out of the playoffs yet again. It would also be funny if the 76ers were then swept by the Bucks, who were in turn swept by the Warriors.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“All right, time for the second half.”

a.) me, getting ready to watch 76ers-Raptors.
b.) Andy Reid, thirty seconds after his pizza has arrived.

Senor Weaselo

You mean after his second pizza arrived.

I got that brunch with Hitler, I can’t miss that.

Age is a bitch. The more I really need booze to cloud my problems up, the more it hurts to even get a buzz.

...

I’m trying to be all “silver linings” about it and find other ways to deal with said problems.

Pot. It’s going to be pot.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If I’ve managed to cut myself off from the outside world for about a week, pot is great. If not, some less-than-pleasant thoughts always seem to creep up on me if I get too high.
